Calcium Intracellular Messenger System Disruption

This page is written for the nontechnical reader.

Acetaldehyde is the first breakdown product of alcohol. Yeast produces alcohol. It is also released when yeast is killed. Your body reacts very strongly to acetaldehyde. It is toxic even at the level of 1 part per million in the blood. It is the main cause of hangover symptoms.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase is the main defense against acetaldehyde, as its function is to break apart acetaldehyde into water and acetone. This enzyme is genetically encoded in a gene found in the mitochondria (energy producing organ of a cell). It exists only in the liver.

30% to 50% of Orientals and about 5% of European Caucasians have faulty genes, and their enzymes don't work. These people cannot handle alcohol - it makes them quite sick from acetaldehyde poisoning. People who do have a correct gene can have this defense overwhelmed by too much acetaldehyde.

Basic Effect Symptom, or Unnoticed Effect Comment

Disrupts genetic expression.

Can cause cancer

.

Local dilation of capillaries due to inhibiting smooth muscles

Flushing (redness) of the skin.

Can be patchy in nature. Areas near yeast colonies.

Dilation of capillaries due to inhibiting smooth muscles

Fluid filled spots or "blisters."

Capillaries leaking blood serum into tissue under the skin.

Dilation of veins and capillaries due to inhibiting smooth muscles

Bulging veins. Fast heart beat.

Due to lower resistance to blood flow because capillaries and veins are dilated.

Inhibiting smooth muscle contraction

hemorrhoids

Caused by the interruption of the Calcium intracellular Messenger System.

Shutdown of peristalsis due to inhibiting smooth muscles

Upset stomach . Cramps, vomiting.

Acetaldehyde may be created in the intestines, or swallowed.

An adduct impairs ability of Red Blood Cells to carry oxygen.

Low energy. Out of breath easily.

Temporary anemia

Interruption of the Calcium intracellular Messenger System.

General poor function in many systems.

Interferes with nearly all cell functions

Known effect of acetaldehyde. See the OSHA paper.

Chemical burn (contact dermatitis) on skin

Produced by over aggressive treatment of skin lesions with iodine.

Creates allergic compounds inside the body

Allergic reactions with no external agent.

Scientific literature show this.

Stimulates pain nerves

Sinus, forehead, Headaches

.

Converts fat cells to collagen producing cells in liver causing fibrosis of the liver.

Seeming failure of the glycogen cycle. Having to eat every two hours to keep blood sugar up. Gaining weight.

Chemical sensitivities.

Clogged liver doesn't function well. Reported in the peer literature.

UV light kills yeast. Die-off releases acetaldehyde, typically in forehead.

Sensitivity to sunlight. Burning pain in forehead.

Reaction can occur within less than a minute after exposure. Greatly speeded by applying DMSO.

Kills cells

Skin severely damaged on fingers.
