Again, from Dr. Kessler's Notes at Facebook, I bring the following information to you (see the block quote, below (grey box).  Mercury has been what he's found me getting exposures to, though he found I'm also one of the rare ones who has a second element of sensitivity (aluminum in my case).  It's quite impressive!  Using the polarizing filter overlaying my photograph, or one of the mercury-sensitive animals who are in my life as little teaching assistants currently, he can determine (in a complex way) when someone is affected by an exposure.  Then he rapidly and skillfully takes you through figuring out what the source was, and correcting it. 

The first time it was a new mascara I'd used.  45 degree angle was what showed as where the energy of my body was being lead, awry, away from the ideal 0 degrees.  Heart rate high, anxious -- I felt like I just needed to escape to somewhere by driving forever, but of course that made no sense.  I thought it may be blood sugar -- food did not change how I felt. Of course you'll realize that sounds like an anxiety attack, but as with so many people, when you're in anxiety attack mode, you're not able to figure out THAT's what you're having as symptoms.  

The second time it was one of two pillow cases -- from not having washed off the mascara before I knew it was a problem, and not washing the pillow cases when I had.  I was not sleeping well, was all I'd noticed.  Was 45 degrees.

The third time it was the shoes I'd worn the day before into town -- to the park, running errands.... They needed to come off and then 'you'll feel better'.  I washed them and retested and they were clean again. 45 degrees.  I had not noticed anything with how I was feeling, Dr Kessler caught it by popping in with his tool of his trade remotely and notifying me.

The next time was a product I'd recently started adding to my usual hair cleaning mix, and it currently has me baffled because we'd "tested" that product before.  "The devil is in the details" perhaps, as the first time (when no mercury showed), I'd gotten a small drop from the bottom of the tube that goes with the pump. I'd not noticed anything in particular with how I felt -- I believe I'd been chronically in a state of exposure so much of my life it's easy for me to not pick up on an exposure until I've had more time operating in non exposed / 0 degrees mode.

The second time I pulled the pump out and poured a little drop. So, was it something in the product that separates and floats to the top?  We replicated it later, and that was what it was.  And I'd have one conditioner from a brand that was otherwise testing as "good for me", have some mercury in it -- and rinse out enough when I initially used it, but then not when I changed locations and there was different water hardness/ softness or properties I guess I'd more safely say.  And then the molds or dusts or danders or WHATEVER that I was around, which had presented no problems when NOT exposed, made me very sick.  Until I got the mercury off of me and got 'straightened out', so to speak.  Hence, I say: 

It ends up, ultimately, being left up to YOU! the consumer, to learn to test .... everything you're going to purchase or do purchase and then don't use or return if it tests to have the element of sensitivity.  

Editing this on 7Sept, Dr. Kessler found O'Rio's energy angle off (meaning he was exposed at that moment) yesterday mid morning and messaged me.  I was outside with O'Rio or inside doing some thing and was back to see that at the computer within 20 minutes.  Didn't figure it out.  Today about the same time, it was me! I thought about what felt 'icky' on me and it was my lower body .... I was wearing a pair of loungewear pants that had been only washed with my fragrance-free (and tested mercury free) soap 2x and in the past had been washed in whatEVER.  I quickly took them off, asked him to retest me, and I was back to 0 degrees! So if O'Rio was touching me wearing those loungewear pants yesterday at the time Dr. Kessler looked through the "tool of his trade" and saw his energy angle off, then that would account for it.  Hence think about anyone who he might be hanging out against -- their laundry products will affect him/ his energy / order of the system. 

It's not easy, I started on the official kick off to summer, Memorial Day.  We're nearing the end of summer and I can teach new people the basics but have still not learned how to test myself at the time of creating this comment (which I'm editing after with more examples for people to read as they occur). 

MASSIVE EXPOSURE (my first which showed 90 degrees with the shirt when testing later, as you'll read) in early fall, to a commonly used household cleaning product's fumes --which is called a 'dry exposure' I learned from the dentist who learned from Dr. Kessler in person in addition to remotely as I have been doing. O'Rio's and my world were to go into a big shift in the fall when his now former owner decided to re-vamp what they were doing with their house, and ultimately this mercury sensitivity he and I share made it sensible for me to offer, and them to accept, that I take O'Rio with me into the future and be his primary human. So after two plus years of cleaning the house with things that were agreeable to me (and O'Rio) we arrived to the new 'assistant' / helper person using Orange Glo on massive areas of bookshelf, when I had to be getting my things organized to move on to where they were going next. 

I was aware I felt like I was on planet Zorba, as I call it.  I was aware I felt unusually negative about helping people learn.  I was exhausted and deflated and also started having something parallel, I believe, to suicidal ideation.  But I was having ideation about ending Lumigrate in my life.  I knew I should shower and change clothes to get whatever fumes were involved out of the picture.  I noticed that O'Rio didn't seem affected, though.  Turns out my hair and his fur did not absorb the fumes, but my t-shirt did.  My pants did not, they were an artifical fiber/ fabric. 

But the t-shirt had a lot of cotton in it.  I'd felt so unwell I just slept initially in my clothes and then woke up and somehow just sensed the shirt was the culprit.  I took it off and put on another shirt, and felt it was a lot better, got some more sleep and in the morning felt like showering and so on.  Dr Kessler then helped me test the shirt -- I'd tested it and found it to be affecting my energy system.  He confirmed.  It went in the trash.  I lost 24 hours of wellness to THAT, but am grateful for the learned experience.  And reminded how some people, even when they have the same condition diagnosed as you have, just don't care, or can't learn, and the work that I do is going to continue to only resonate with those who are ready and willing.  And I need to focus on that.  And keep going. 

See how my attitude improves when I'm with my energy system going the way it should, compared to when I had the exposure? These 'symptoms' are important to note, and they vary from person to person who has mercury sensitivity, I learned.  Some examples: 

Examples of symptoms  when sensitive to mercury, and exposed to various amounts --

Person #1 45 degrees or greater is always poor sleep, big headache, and short-fuse irritability.

Person #2 noticed brain fog, poor sleep, visual disturbances If 45+ for tonsil scar focus, then she felt like she was getting sick (sore throat, age)

Person #3 -- can't sleep, becomes the energised bunny, uncooperative, and generally obnoxious.

Person #4 This person needs a big exposure, and at 90 the end result is "just mean and ornery".

NOTE:  DO THESE SYMPTOMS MAKE YOU THINK OF ANY CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS IN OTHERS OR SELF?

---

I was commended in mid November for not having been found by Dr Kessler to be exposed to mercury or aluminum when he was testing remotely those who he is working with.  I explained that it seemed to correspond with when I moved from O'Rio's former house and life got simpler for me.  And then one evening I smelled the dog's face at the new house, who was hanging out with us due to the owner having just left -- perfume/cologne ....  I wanted to see how he acted so did not remove it immediately.  Big mistake. He got on the bed and some transferred to the bedding. 

I washed his face and he was fine except if he was in the bed, or I was in the bed, or O'Rio was touching the bed even perhaps, as his bed is next to the regular bed and he ends up against it a lot, then we're all being affected by the charge of the mercury that transferred off the dog's face from the smelly product presumably put on hands and face of the human then unwittingly shared when petting the dog's face. 

SO FAR, THOSE ARE MY INSTANCES OF EXPOSURE TO SHARE

I'll leave off and let Dr. Kessler's words from his 'Notes' fill your brain now. 

The point I want to bring across about mercury is:
 

We know that ADHD, autism, MS ,Tourette syndrome, psoriasis, etc. is genetically predetermined, but not dominant, recessive.

It starts when the order of the system is disturbed by mercury exposure, because all these patients are mercury sensitive (blood-subtype Apolipoprotein E4, aka ApoE4); mercury exposure thru inhalation (fragrances, perfume, candles...), ingestion (HFCS, water, food, meds, tooth paste....), skin penetration (vaccination, shampoo, body lotion, cremes, toilet paper, laundry detergents, enema, douche, bathtub / swimming pool, hot tub .....). (see my notes for more details on each).

If the order of your body's system is not disturbed, your body is able to to deal with all these toxins depending on the toxicological dosage. 

But if your body's order is disturbed, the detoxification pathway might be deranged.  If you are sensitive, the vibration of each single atom of the chemical element that you are sensitive to (Hg, Al, Pd, F, Ir, Pb, Ti, etc.) being found in trace amounts in various chemicals has influence on your body.

All, namely specialists Klinghardt, Geier, Cutler and a lot of others, only talk about chelation of mercury, because it has a positive influence on these patients, but none of them talk about restriction and avoidance of mercury molecules in daily life, which is -- in my eyes and experience -- much more important.  It doesn't make sense to try to mobilize it on one side and add it on the other.

Even alternative medicine has  the tendency to add energy (homeopathy, Bach flowers, Resonance therapy...), no one thinks about taking the irritating frequency away --- to undisturb the order of the system. If your body is weakened, the exposure to a few molecules of mercury can be so strong that it can lead to dysautonomia. (See the above information on the top of this thread which was taken from Dr. Kessler's notes, and see his notes at Facebook if you wish, as well).

I teach my patients how to test to avoid mercury before they buy the product or introduce it to their system.

On August 15, 2017, Dr Kessler posted this link to the following article about mercury evidence-of-harm.com/2015/02/evidence-supporting-a-link-between-dental-amalgams-and-chronic-illness-fatigue-depression-anxiety-and-suicide/ and said the above, AND went on to say this (which I also edited for simple things to make it more readable):

---

To be emotionally strong and not be anxious or depressed, you have to avoid the negative, disturbing vibration of any disturbing focus -- like a mercury molecule if you are mercury-sensitive --  or a dental focus ---or a scar irritating the order of your system.  If you have a 'bad day', you have to find out where this weakening of your system comes from, and how to take it away or to clean yourself in order to be undisturbed again.

Everyone around here thinks: What information (medications, pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, food supplements) can help me, or do I have to add to help me. The problem is that your order is sometimes so disturbed that your body doesn’t know what to do with the information, and you add so much different information that your body doesn’t know how and where to start organizing it.

Your innermost, material energy layer, arising from the electrons being passed in metabolism, is disturbed and is so weak and the chakras are not connected --- and even spin the wrong way. It is not giving you a protective shield, nor supplying you with the energy needed for your psychological status.

Your glass is always half empty instead half full. 'Your skin is thin', you have to power to get something accomplished and this burns you out even more --- and you get anxious, depressed, or in others overly aggressive or afraid, for example.

THE ARTICLE: 

Evidence supporting a link between dental amalgams and chronic illness, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and suicide.
Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2014 Dec;35(7):537-52.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to examine the evidence for a relationship between mercury (Hg) exposure from dental amalgams and certain idiopathic chronic illnesses – chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), depression, anxiety, and suicide. Dental amalgam is a commonly used dental restorative material that contains approximately 50% elemental mercury (Hg0) by weight and releases Hg0 vapor. Studies have shown that chronic Hg exposure from various sources including dental amalgams is associated with numerous health complaints, including fatigue, anxiety, and depression – and these are among the main symptoms that are associated with CFS and FM.

In addition, several studies have shown that the removal of amalgams is associated with improvement in these symptoms. Although the issue of amalgam safety is still under debate, the preponderance of evidence suggests that Hg exposure from dental amalgams may cause or contribute to many chronic conditions.

Thus, consideration of Hg toxicity may be central to the effective clinical investigation of many chronic illnesses, particularly those involving fatigue and depression.

There is more ---

I had a session with Dr Kessler the day after the eclipse because I just was dying to find out if there was mercury in the laundry soap that had been used by someone in the house -- who would have pet O'Rio's head, etc. -- when his third eye lids swelled and pupils dilated -- a sign of dysautonomia in dogs.  And indeed, it did have mercury. 

I learned that you can't just look through the filter at an object without a person or other living things which is sensitive to an element being there to test for that element. 

It's a long process when you take this a little at a time when you mutually have time to learn with an 8 hour time difference.  But I'm so appreciative.  And want to keep adding here as I go, and bring YOUsers of Lumigrate along with me! 

One of Dr. Kessler's 'students' and FB friend posted this as the Saturday of Labor Day weekend for us in the US waned, and Sunday of a regular weekend in Germany dawned.  A dentist living in California who has spent a week in person with Dr. Kessler to learn; when I learned that over a year ago when connecting as FB friends, I realized I needed to be 'clearing my schedule' in order to learn via video in the time when he's available in small increments to teach me -- due to the time difference being 8 hours. 

www.healthy-holistic-living.com/diseases-connected-to-mercury-fillings.html

Dr. Kessler commented: The headline is wrong.
It should be :
The diseases Connected to Mercury-Sensitivity plus Exposure. The Reason Mercury Fillings are Dangerous.

To which she replied: The world may catch on, someday. I get to give an hour lecture this week on a couple of cases where, using Nogier's Reflex, I was able to quickly diagnose.
I call it a tip of the iceberg lecture.

The article:

Title: The Diseases Connected to Mercury Fillings

If you or someone you love has mercury fillings – in the mouth – I urge you to take the time and watch this video – now. Jonathan Landsman and Dr. David Kennedy, an outspoken and intelligent critic of conventional dentistry, reveals the scientific proof about how mercury-based “silver” fillings cause many of the most serious health conditions of our time.

In fact, Dr. Kennedy makes one of the boldest comments I’ve ever heard about the dangers of mercury toward the end of the video. I’m sure you’ll agree — Dr. Kennedy is a blessing to humanity for his tireless efforts.

Here are a few facts about mercury amalgam fillings:

1. Causes Damage to Brain in Children

In February, 1998, a group of the world’s top mercury researchers announced that mercury from amalgam fillings can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and immune system of children.

Sponsored Videos -- Mardy's Note:  So PLEASE GO ON THE LINK TO THE HEALTHY HOLISTIC LIVING WEBSITE (and look around, too!)

It's a 3 minute video from YouTube of David Kennedy, DDS (who, at YouTube is DavidKennedyDDS

and Jonathan Landsman, Natural News Inner Circle.  Highlights: 

There is no safe level of exposure to mercury.  They go through how much mercury is in each filling, and calculate it out if you have 10 fillings.  The host of mercury-related illnesses are:

One of 10 adults will be diagnosed with "Alzheimers", "Parkinsons", "ALS", "MS", "autism", "acrodynia".

Acrodynia used to kill 5% of the infants --  in 1939 in England (the rate was 5%).  England stopped the sale of all skin rash oitments, tooth products, etc. with mercury chloride in them; in 1940 none died of acrodynia.

Then in Australia in the 1950s a similar situation occurred with it being introduced and acrodynia increased. They stopped the product sales and new acrodynia cases dropped.  So the cause/ effect relationship between mercury and acrodynia is very clear. 

Autism is acrodynia in the non lethal form, Dr. Kennedy states.  They studied the Australian survivers of acrodynia and their descendents are 6x more likely to have autism.

There are people sensitive to mercury.  Some people aren't sensitive to mercury.  "We know that if you were to take mercury out of our society, you would have a whole host of neurological diseases disappear." And he cites the above disorders and reminds it is costing immense amounts of money for people to have these conditions.  

So when the dentist says "We want to use the cheap fillling", factor in the cost of taking care of your parent for a decade." (Who will be at increased risk of having the above illnesses).

Then at 3 minutes it says the rest of this video is available at the Natural News Inner Circle and invites the viewer to join them today. 

2. Amalgam Fillings Linked to Neurological Problems, Gastrointestinal Problems
The first large-scale epidemiological study of mercury and adverse reactions was recently completed and showed that, of the symptoms looked at, there was a link seen to gastrointestinal problems, sleep disturbances, concentration problems, memory disturbances, lack of initiative, restlessness, bleeding gums and other mouth disorders.

3. Mercury / Alzheimer’s Disease Connection Found
A study related to mercury and Alzheimer’s Disease was recently completed by a team of scientists led by well-respected researcher Dr. Boyd Haley. They exposed rats to levels of mercury vapor diluted to account for size differences between humans and rats. The rats developed tissue damage “indistinguishable” from that of Alzheimer’s Disease. Repeating the experiment showed the same results. Dr. Haley is quoted as saying “I’m getting the rest of my fillings taken out right now, and I’ve asked my wife to have hers replaced too.” Also see: http://www.holistic-dentistry.com/artalzeimer.asp

4. Amalgam Fillings Since 1970s Unstable
The type of mercury fillings that began to be used during the last couple of decades, non-gamma-2 (high copper), releases many times more mercury than the older style of amalgam fillings. Also, please see the article on the instability of dental amalgam fillings by Ulf Bengsston.

5. Amalgam Fillings Release Highly Toxic Elemental Mercury
Mercury is one of the most toxic substances known. The mercury release from fillings is absorbed primarily as highly toxic elemental mercury vapor.

6. Amalgam Fillings Largest Source of Mercury By Far
Based on a number of studies in Sweden, the World Health Organization review of inorganic mercury in 1991 determined that mercury absorption is estimated to be approximately four times higher from amalgam fillings than from fish consumption. Recent studies have confirmed this estimate. The amount absorbed can vary considerably from person to person (source).

Enough about mercury.  Iridium is coming up in 2018 "tests".

I'm editing this on 2July2018.  There have been 1,440 reads of this topic so far. 

Editing again on 14December2018 there have been 2,016 reads of this topic to date....

At the start of 2018, I'd be in my old 'stomping grounds' on the Front Range, and was looking forward to seeing my old friends.  I'd get a few links from my gal pals from elementary school, who were in my class (we were ability grouped, it's important to say so you're not thinking it was random people my age I got closest to in school.  These were the high achievers, so to speak.  

Three of three had iridium as their sensitivity.  What are the chances: I'd known mercury was most common, aluminum second most common, and iridium, per Dr Kessler, occurred in 5% per his experiences.  So, it just seemed coming in threes it was some sort of sign, perhaps! Or maybe just a random coincidence and not a "coincidence of significance".  You can form your own opinion about that.  

I knew of these gals' symptoms of wellness (or lack thereof) from that time to present, or some of them -- the overall at least.  I could compare to mine over the years.   I let them each know of this information about them, available, and my willingness to teach them if they wished.  They had various interest level, which is to do with time and busy-ness, and first "awareness" of something new often being just the 'scratching of the soil' you'll come back to and plant a seed in later.  

By spring, I'd see on Facebook that a classmate, who was never a part of my gang of girls, but we always knew and got along with, and who I've gotten closer to thanks to Facebook and that fostering some reunions in person we both attended, had fallen and broken.  

ALWAYS with symptoms worse than mine, I wanted to offer her the information that is taught at this thread.  I figured being laid up with a broken body part might be a good time.  But they were on the move.  Literally. As in house to house, state to state. Compromised with an injured dominant hand.  

But I got enough time on the phone to get 'interest piqued', and permission to inquire with Dr Kessler.  Since I used a reunion photograph, he took liberties with everyone in the photograph.  Without exception, the exceptional children from the school that in part inspires content on the show South Park had elements of sensitivity! 

But I was having to hold tight on further delving into learning about iridium, as those who had that as sensitivity weren't "getting on the hook" to take the bait and get caught up in what, I think, leads you to be caught up, ultimately -- in a good way -- in the real and root cause, forever ending the chasing around of symptoms without getting to the root.  

Two days ago, on the last day of June, my phone rang in the evening, as I was going out to walk O'Rio for the second time -- keeping moving is key to detoxification, so I try to get us walking three times a day and it's very difficult in the HEAT of the summer.  The caller was not one of those gals, but one I'd gotten to know last summer, who had been studying and taking proactive measures based on what they'd learned in the rabbit hole of "mold avoidance".  

I could tell last summer, they were as devoted to discovering what they'd find as results from mold avoidance as I was finding what was occurring with avoiding traces of my element(s) of sensitivity, and seeing what occurred with O'Rio avoiding our mutual element, mercury.  I'd have just posted as my cover photo on Facebook a "no Hg" button, obtained from a gal who has studied longer and in person, twice now, with Dr Kessler.  

Having come literally full circle, or 360 degrees, the woman, about fifteen years older than I, so getting into the years you start feeling you might be coming to life's end, had given up their use of computer -- it just had felt like it was contributing to symptoms.  And as we talked and got underway with the Intro and discussion of Our Story So Far, the talk about mercury with O'Rio and me brought up a lot of talk about dental amalgam work that seemed to correlate with onset of the crash from doing okay to being a wreck circa age 70.  

Within hours I knew this woman was, like my pals from childhood, iridium sensitive, and I took advantage of some time to study up a bit before talking with her again, so I'd have some better information on what iridium is used in.  So I thought I'd add it in here, and credit The Iridium Elder, as I'll call her, with the additional benefit of this information being at Lumigrate for YOU to be utilizing now, because of her support of funds in exchange for my time giving her information.  I also acknowledge Proud Mama, whose birthday card which arrived a week early contained funds that sustained me through a few days when it was a gift that felt like gold.  (I cannot emphasize enough how there is no amount that is too small to be helping, this is grass roots I've been doing for over three years now, and it is entirely do-able that Lumigrate and I get completely sus-tained long term from people who wish to give in very comfortable-to-them ways.  And then Lumigrate is there for everyone's benefit.  Pro Bono -- for the good of the community is the origination of the term, after all.  

So here we go, Iridium 101

"Iridium is one of the rarest elements on Earth. It is found uncombined in nature in sediments that were deposited by rivers. It is commercially recovered as a by-product of nickel refining.

A very thin layer of iridium exists in the Earth’s crust. It is thought that this was caused by a large meteor or asteroid hitting the Earth. Meteors and asteroids contain higher levels of iridium than the Earth’s crust. The impact would have caused a huge dust cloud depositing the iridium all over the world. Some scientists think that this could be the same meteor or asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs."  

So in other words, you don't have the same perdicament with iridium as you'd have with aluminum, where you might get enough exposure from what's in the soil in an area, or in the air from chemtrails (as aluminum, barium and strontium are three of the key nanoparticles used in geoengineering, which is of course not just the white lines in the sky but also put up into the atmosphere with other delivery systems as well).

Uses of Iridium

The main use of iridium is as a hardening agent for platinum alloys.

With osmium, it forms an alloy that is used for tipping pens, and compass bearings.

Iridium is used in making crucibles and other equipment that is used at high temperatures.

It is also used to make heavy-duty electrical contacts.

Iridium was used in making the international standard kilogram, which is an alloy of 90% platinum and 10% iridium.

Radioactive isotopes of iridium are used in radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer.

(Source: https://www.chemicool.com/elements/iridium.html )

"Iridium crucibles are used to grow high quality single crystals. These are used in electronics such as computer memory devices and solid state lasers.

Iridium alloys are used in processes that require resistance to wear such as the multi-poured spinnerets used to create polymer fibres such as rayon.

An alloy of iridium and osmium is used to produce the tips of fountain pens. "

Source: https://wanttoknowit.com/uses-of-iridium/ )

 "Global production of iridium is limited to roughly 3-4 tons per year. Most of this originates from primary ore production, although some iridium is recycled from spent catalysts and crucibles.

South Africa is the main source of iridium, but the metal is also extracted from nickel ores in Russia and Canada." (That makes me wonder if there might be traces of it in nickel products.)

(Source: https://www.thebalance.com/metal-profile-iridium-2340138 )

In Dentistry 

"Subjective systemic symptoms have been linked to vari-ous metals in dental restoration materials (1, 2). Indiumand iridium are in 2 currently used dental amalgams (Table 1), as well as in white gold (Table 2) onto which porcelain is fused for dental crowns and/or bridges.:"

(Source: http://www.academia.edu/.../Indium_and_iridium_allergy_in... )

In Medical

Bone cement.  Though the first message from Dr Kessler (source on this one, conversation) was "bone crafting" and I was picturing indigenous people making things out of bone.... and knew that didn't make sense in the context and then thought 'bone graft'... grafting, cementing.  So he responded ... bone cement.  

In Electronics

"Though automotive air-pollution-reduction technology in automobiles provides the hottest demand for the six platinum-group metals (iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhodium, and ruthenium), these minerals can also be found up and down the electronics aisle, in hard disks, integrated circuits, and LCD panels."

(Source: https://www.fastcompany.com/.../how-handful-countries... )

AND thankfully one of his Facebook friends stated they'd working with him for a while and was iridium sensitive, so I asked for some ideas of things tested and found to be with enough iridium to be "not good". The response included: 

coffee, very often

hair conditioner

anything that is an "anti-oxidant"

bread

eggs -- in a commercial carton of eggs about half will have and half won't

potatoes

the list is huge -- but of course as with everything -- it's not consistently all of the time in things.  As Dr Kessler simply states: No generalizations!  You must learn to test and avoid things with traces of the element of sensitivity.  

It is a good point to re-iterate this from Dr. Kessler: 

"It is not Multiple Sensitivity to Pollution, it is not Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, it is Multiple Chemical Element Sensitivity !!!

You have to understand the difference between sensitivity and toxicity. 

For example: If you are sensitive to mercury (most common), your body reacts to the exposure of each single molecule of mercury from inhalation, ingestion or transdermally and disturbs the order of your system, especially to the predisposed weak spots of your system (skin, immune system, joint fluid, etc.). 

If you are not disturbed by this vibration (or frequency) of mercury by exposure, your body is able to take care of all other toxins (Arsenic, Aluminum, Meds, Alcohol, Pesticides, etc., not in a toxicological doses), you are getting exposed to and is able to use compensatory pathways to make up weaknesses (genetic) of your body. 

If the order of the system is disturbed, your body is not able to do this and will even react uncontrolled , irrational, dysautonomic (see my Note: Dysautonomia) 

Other patients are sensitive to Aluminum, Fluoride, Palladium, Iridium, Indium, Gold, Titan, Silicium, Formaldehyde and react to the vibration of this particular element and not to mercury. The word 'chemical sensitivity' should be individually narrowed down to the one or seldom two chemical elements. 

The patient is sensitive to a product (fragrance, food, cosmetics, etc.), because it contains, in trace amounts, the chemical element he or she is sensitive to, and this can vary from charge to charge of each product."

Patients with Lyme disease: Most therapies just focus on the symptoms and fight the spirochetes without involving the order of the system of your body.

None of you had been screened for disturbing foci, mercury-sensitivity, aluminum-sensitivity, a dental focus or maybe a disturbing scar (tonsil), which influences the order of your system and the capability of the body to respond to therapy. This means, that you will have a different outcome because the information (energy, medications)  they are giving you might not get where it is needed.

The order of the system of a mercury-sensitive person (ApoE4), what most chronic Lyme patients are, is disturbed by chronic, daily exposure with traces of mercury by ingestion, inhalation and skin penetration.

The infection with Borrelia can not be correctly counteracted and fought by the disturbed immune system, and the burden of the Borrelia infection and the unknowing new daily exposure of mercury weakens the body even further.

Medicine wants to add information -- antibiotics, supplements etc., and find pathological, biochemical changes of the disorder, but the information is not carried to the place where it is needed because the body is in a dysautonomic state -- it is out of order -- and even more highly weakened by those invaders (they even have electron microscopic pictures of).

It is like: You want to put tiles on a wall (treat Lyme) and someone is using a sledgehammer (mercury exposure) next door. It makes no sense in adding more and stronger glue (antibiotics, supplements); you have to stop the vibration of the sledgehammer first to be able to work in a field, which then is not disturbed.

The flair ups of the disease can only be explained by the incidence and level of new mercury exposure, because the level of borrelia is not changed from one hour to the next, like the symptoms change. All patients feel better with chelation, as long as the chelator doesn't contain traces of mercury, and if the exposure is stopped or drastically reduced. For possible sources of mercury read what's at comment #1, above (at this link if you wish to take a link: www.lumigrate.com/forum/claus-peter-kessler-md-facebook-learn-test-order-system-disrupted-his-mantra#comment-2956)

Herxheimer reaction is a dysautonomic reaction to acute mercury exposure (inhalation, ingestion or transdermal), it has nothing to do with release of toxins from killed spirochetes. It is a postulate by Dr Herxheimer, not a proven fact, yet everyone takes it for granted as he postulated.

If a factory is not organized and controlled, it doesn't work.

Bring your system back in order, so that it helps to fight the disease.

That is why I teach my patients how to test for the ingredients they are sensitive to, in each item they like to ingest, inhale or put on their skin.

Chiropractics

Erin at Health Nut News had posted about chiropractic (for frozen shoulder). Dr Kessler commented:

You have to understand that a chiropractor is able to open the blocked intervertebral joints, but your body must be able to keep the joint fluid so viscous that they don’t glue together again as soon as you stay in a resting position. The order of the system is disturbed, it is not an anatomical problem being the cause.

Myofascia

Dr. Mercola's website had an article about fascia, and Dr. Kessler shared the link on Facebook (link  articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/09/01/what-is-fascia.aspx ), setting it up by saying:

"Caused by disturbing fields influencing the viscosity of the intervertebral joint fluid, irritating the nerve roots, leading to contractions of muscle tissue, vasoconstriction, decreasing lymph flow, and influencing the fascia."

Dr. Helen Alderson, a California dentist and naturopathic provider, who has studied with Dr. Kessler for several years at the point of my adding this comment on Labor Day 2018 (3September this year), and has given me permission to use her teachings on Facebook and credit her or not, whichever I wish, had this comment: 

"We spent the bulk of our naturopathic training studying Pischinger's The Extracellular Matrix and Ground Regulation, which was interesting. Adding the frequencies, sensitivities, etc, really brings it together."

On August 21, 2017 many people were 'tuned in' about the eclipse -- 600,000 people from my state (Colorado) drove up into Wyoming to be where it was going to be a total eclipse.  Where I'm at, I was working at the computer and it was as if the windows on the house which are normally like the windshield and front windows of my car became like the dark tinted ones in the back. 

I'd tune into Nova on PBS that night at just the moment to see them talking about a "spectrascope", which was used to determine what elements our big energy ball in the sky is made of by filtering and viewing to see what is emitting the associated frequencies of various elements.

I'm glad I caught that, becasue I think it helps people learning how this 'less tangible stuff' works if we compare it to mainstream science and astronomy we'd learned along the way.  

From Dr. Kessler's notes tab (on Facebok on the More tab), this is what he provides specifically on this aspect of that which he teaches.

Nogier Reflex

What is auricular acupuncture?
 
Throughout his life, Dr Paul Nogier has been interested in medical research. His appreciation of the techniques of acupuncture, psychotherapy, homeopathy and manual medicine, led him, in 1951, to draw up the basis of auriculotherapy, then, about ten years later, to develop auriculomedicine.

The results of Paul Nogier's work are now well known, and are taught and used in Europe, the United States and even in China, the birth place of acupuncture.

These two techniques were recently combined under the term "ear acupuncture".

DR. Paul Nogier's Discoveries

The discovery of auriculotherapy: In the beginning, Dr Paul Nogier sometimes saw patients presenting with cauterization points on the ear, who claimed to have been relieved of their sciatica as a result of this treatment.

Intrigued, Dr Paul Nogier decided to investigate this phenomenon and found that points on the external ear corresponded to certain organs or systems. After more than fifteen years of experimentation, he established a map of the ear. The shape of all of these points fairly closely resembles the image of an inverted foetus.

The principle of auriculotherapy is based on the fact that a point or a zone on the ear corresponds to an organ or a system. The mechanism of action is a reflex mechanism. In auriculotherapy, a pathological point is detected by the pain reaction to local pressure or by using an electrical detector.

Treatment can be performed by massage of the point, by application of a needle or by electrical or laser stimulation. The precision of this representation of reflex points on the external ear offers many possibilities for both diagnosis and treatment.

Auriculomedicine is a reflex method based on modifications of the Nogier pulse in response to stimulation.  The Nogier pulse, called RAC in French for Réflexe Auriculo-Cardiaque or Autonomic Circulatory Reaction), corresponds to the English term VAS (Vascular Autonomic Signal).

In practice, the physician tests the sensitivity of the sensors of the skin of the patient's body or external ear. With one hand, he holds an appropriate detector, and the other, it takes the patient's pulse.
The patient's radial pulse is taken very carefully and requires a great deal of practice in order to be performed rigorously. The pulse is conventionally taken with the thumb placed perpendicularly to the radial artery against the styloid process.

The VAS phenomenon is usually felt by the practitioner as a qualitative variation of perception of the pulse. It starts 1 to 3 cycles after application of a stimulus. This signal occurs without any alteration of heart rate and can last for 8 to 15 cardiac cycles.

Mechanical recording of the vascular signal perceived clinically by taking the pulse manually has not yet been objectively demonstrated. This demonstration is difficult, as it consists of trying to reproduce a fine sensory perception instrumentally.

However, it is clear that the Nogier pulse involves the autonomic system (sympathetic and parasympathetic). Modification of the VAS is mediated by the unconscious autonomic nervous system and corresponds to a neurological reflex.

Until a device has been developed that is able to measure the VAS signal, physicians continue to learn the manual pulse taking technique. Several schools now teach this technique. In particular, in Lyon, the cradle of auriculotherapy, there is an association, the Groupement Lyonnais d'Etude Médicale (GLEM), which provides such courses. (GLEM website: http://www.sedatelec.com/english/acupauri.htm

And then, additionally from a note in the 40+ notes he provides at Facebook (which is difficult to organize layout so I hope it helps the way I'm presenting them here in one spot and the order I'm selecting them to add here.)

Nogier Reflex, RAC, VAS

Nogier vascular autonomic signal,
n.pr an alteration in the strength and volume of the wrist pulse responding to excitation (through massage, laser pulses, or colored light) of the outer part of the ear. Also called auricular cardiac reflex.

Testing with a linear polarization filter and Nogier reflex prevents you from adding the chemical element you are sensitive to into your system, being in trace amounts in all different materials being inhaled, ingested or penetrating the unbroken skin; this can differ from charge to charge. It measures the influence of any material on the orientation and strength of your electromagnetic energy field.

Note, minor editing done to make it more easily readable, from Dr. Kessler's Notes tab on Facebook

He has stated you can use a polarizing filter from a camera, but what I understand he and others use looks like a clear sheet of plastic and can even be cut (with scissors) off into pieces if someone is learning and doesn't have the tool in full purchased. (I bought a polarizing filter at a used camera store last summer hoping to learn this then, but things did not come together until this April.)

This is what the most knowledgeable US student of his has been using as a source.... but the trick is you have to get the pieces small enough that they're not bending, or just buy the smaller ones.  www.teachersource.com/product/polarizing-filters/light-color 

And of course, thanks to Dr. Kessler.  Last night my night ended later than I'd planned because he was getting up and at 'em and saw something in this photograph I'd sent to him for FUN yesterday.  I was thinking 'we're good, O'Rio and I aren't getting any mercury exposures anymore (since learning this summer) and I'll show him we're going out to have fun'. 

Dr. Kessler could see a "scar" on one side of his body, and told me what single mineral and single vitamin he needed.  When I said I had B complex, he said something to the extent of "Did I say B complex? No, I said one single B."   Targeted.  Simple. Money saving. Specific. Controlled. Fluid/changing. INDIVIDUALIZED 

When I went to bed I scoured my massive store of supplements I no longer take and had neither of those two things, so in order to continue learning in the morning about supplements, I put out the four things I've been taking recently but intermittently, then took and sent a photograph. 

I was figuring he would next want to do as others 'testing' have done, where they just see if a supplement is good for me and some testers have been able to identify what's in it that made it a 'no' for my system. (By looking at the list of ingredients.  That was a provider who'd not particularly subscribed when learning testing in his program to become the type of provider he is, but then realized it worked and he could do it without touching, he could do it by photographs.  With no filter, just him.  And he'd always add the caveat "For what it's worth...", in other words "take it as you will."

Soon he was messaging me, then calling, and in a minute excusing himself to go to the elevator and welcome a patient that had arrived and then off I went .... Ciao, he says!  

So I turned to O'Rio and said "Ciao", and he thought I said "chow".... breakfast!  So off we went to get eggs from the farm, and he's a favorite there.  I told the farm family about our latest developments, and this testing stuff and how it's very selective, "in the moment", and fluid.... a different mindset, really, with this approach. 

I told them what Dr. Kessler had said was going on and was needed with O'Rio and sense that the mother / guardian of the children and animals on the farm is going to benefit from this information.  Someday.  I like feeling as though we are contributing to the efforts to help seekers find what will most effectively, efficiently and permanently help them lead or influence others to have the best life possible.

So again, thanks to Dr. Kessler!  Ciao! ~ Mardy

BONUS REEL --- O'Rio before and during a really good, first of the morning yawn

 © 2017 Mardy Ross -- O'Rio Grande and a big ol' yawn (and this is what his mouth looks like when he is barking when someone unknown pulls to the house, which was my first impression of him -- back hair up.  The FedEx guy -- who delivered his Cornucopia Pet Food in the spring and took photos with O'Rio -- it was a big day to go to that level of food (I worked out a short term deal with the maker and O'Rio's owner) was here this morning and was concerned the way O'Rio looks when he is 'charging out barking'.  It's like his body's systems are confused -- back hair and scruff of neck goes up and out, tail is wagging, mouth indicates not a really friendly barking -- it's as if he gets mixed signals to protect and to be friendly.  

"Mardy, all produce is sprayed w copper sulfate, whether it be organic or not.

Just as all inorganic grains are iron enriched.

Here lies the problem, off high unbound inorganic copper, and unbound ferrous iron.

What most fail to realize is that both C & Fe need to be bound to ceruloplasmin to make it bioavailable.

One often presents as low in iron because of its lack of being bioavailable, yet they are drenched in the unbound metals.

Many come to a conclusion of "pylouria", which is not correct, since the need for bioavailable bound copper is needed in this pathway.

Taking zinc at this point furthers the assault on ceruloplasmin production. One does not need HF genes to accumulate these two forms of oxidative metals.

This is where I differ from Kessler's understanding of copper:iron metabolism.

Also, he only thinks iron is a problem if you have Hemochromatosis genes, which is not true. Our food supply is iron-enriched, birth control has iron, infant formulas, vitamin supplements -- it's very hard to avoid.

Almost no one can avoid enriched foods, or the toxic copper sulfate that binds ceruloplasmin.
Especially if you're eating organic produce from most producers, it's drenched in it. Or you drink, or shower water coming from cooper pipes somewhere along the way.  Any time there is unbound copper, there is unbound iron, period.

Really, you do know iron is the most abundant mineral on Earth, it's everywhere in the water supply. Why do you think oxalates are such a huge health issue? Yes, humans, like plants, make oxalates to remove excess unbound iron."

Somewhere in the conversation, which I've edited a bit, above, to reflect how eventually I was understood -- some of us grow our food.  Some of us don't do that to organic product or those who we purchase from don't.  We have to learn to talk to our sources and find these things out.  So they started back with addressing my statement about that....

.....that's great that you have assess to your own grown produce, but most do not, due to limitations in year round weather or the luxury of time.

Even going to local farms & discussing their practices has gained me valuable knowledge. I have had conversations with local grassfeed suppliers that have admitted that the livestock are not given antibiotics, and when I push and ask specific questions, they do  treat with copper ( which they think is bioavailable ) if they suspect parasites, or if there is an outbreak within the stock .

As a result, not only is the meat a problem but so is any other product grown on that land, since the feces deposit the inorganic copper in the soil.  Its extremely hard to  get away from products that not only supply inorganic copper but also hinder ceruloplasmin.  So many women take birth control, anyone who has taken antibiotics, citric acid, or zinc supplements, not to mention copper pipes leaching, again.

About testing this same person doing 'preaching and teaching on Facebook' in a group about Lyme I believe it was said: "I had both SPECT, it yielded me a Lyme diagnosis which I already knew.  My State CDC positive & Igenex.  It did not help with insurance, nor did it get me better treatment options. It did open my eyes to what caused the severe hypo perfusion & lesions.... it's iron buildup! Yes it's not the infection, the bugs are attracted to the iron. The body responds by forming amyloid plaques & hypo coagulation of blood because it is trying to contain the threat.

This is why so many get CCVSI surgery, it removes iron deposits. Join "magnesium advocacy" group on Facebook -- over 100k members, many with chronic tick-borne infections regaining their health.

Lyme ninja radio will have a podcast w Morley Robbins discussing it, too.

A top genetic researcher for Lyme has found the same to be true,  we who harbor pathogens have a large iron load sequestered in our bodies, yet we appear anemic .... and we are not anemic.  Search on Internet for "iron behaving badly", you will amazed how many diseases and symptoms that overlap with Lyme that are caused by high iron in this way.

From adrenal issues

thyroid issues

liver

gallbladder

brain

digestion

to fill out more, the movement disorders such as MS, ALS & Parkinson's.

A few links this savvy, passionate, "missionary" about this aspect of information sent me over the months since we became Facebook friends which I wish to share with YOUsers of Lumigrate as well as these insightful conversation from Facebook groups or private messages integrated into this comment thread.

 I've asked for some 'review' on this from people I know who are paddling around in these realms professionally and personally to get their opinions to offer here since I was still feeling that there was a 'disconnect' that could be explained by someone else who understood this type of information better than I.  

One response: 

"In reading the post, I believe she misunderstands the doctor's baseline.  She talks about his filter being that of metabolism of iron.  I would just say that his foundation is the energetics.  If the energy from iron or from copper is not the cause of the disturbing focus, and the person is energetically sound, then their body is better able to tolerate some of these oxidative elements. 

When there is a disturbing focus, either scar tissue, improper spinal alignment, tooth/jaw, or element AND it has elemental iron or copper sulfate, THEN the body cannot cope, and the toxins come on line as a problem.  They are sleeping dogs in our body."

Another response: (from reading this before Response #1, above was put in).

"Very interesting. I give homeopathic copper for iron "deficiency."

Again, bringing an edited version from Dr. Kessler's "Notes" on his personal FB page: 

EMF and mercury release from amalgam

Source: www.flcv.com/damspr1.html

New Studies Find High Mercury and Adverse Effects from Dental Amalgam:
 
1.  Mercury is the most toxic substance that people commonly are exposed  to. The U.S. EPA drinking water standard is 2 parts per billion.  Mercury is in the top 3 of toxic exposures affecting large numbers of people. (1,4)

2. Dental amalgam is an unstable mixture of 50% liquid mercury with other toxic metals including copper, silver, tin.  Since mercury is a gas at room temperature, it vaporizes continuously from the amalgam mixture resulting in high levels of mercury in the oral air and saliva, as can be easily measured. Since amalgam is also a mixture of metals in an electrolyte (saliva), this results in galvanic currents that pump mercury and other toxic metals into the gums and oral mucosa, from which it is carried throughout the body by the blood and nerves.  (24,27,32)
 
3. Dental Amalgam Fillings are the Largest Source of Mercury in Most.   People who have amalgam fillings (2-22,32)   and  Daily Mercury Exposure from Amalgam Commonly Exceeds Government Health Standards for Inorganic Mercury(vapor). (4-10,19-21,32)                                                                                      

4. Medical tests show that those with several amalgam fillings have on average 10 times more mercury in feces and saliva than those without amalgam,  and after amalgam replacement, levels of mercury in feces and saliva decline approx. 90%, while mercury level in urine declines 75% on average.   (19,13-15)
 
5.  Elemental and inorganic mercury are methylated in the body to methyl mercury by bacteria, yeasts, etc., so that amalgam fillings are the largest source of methyl mercury in many people who have amalgams. (17,18,13-15)
 
6.  Mercury from amalgam is passed on to fetuses and infants through mother’s blood and milk, and mother’s dental amalgam fillings are the largest source of mercury in most fetuses and infants prior to mercury containing vaccinations (12,26,21,32).  One flu vaccination (or other vaccination that contains 25 micrograms of mercury thimerosal) exceeds the Canadian health standard for daily mercury exposure to an infant by a factor of 250 and for a child by a factor of 100(20).
 
7.  Dental amalgam is the largest source of mercury in most children who have amalgam fillings other than from vaccines, and mercury level is directly proportional to the number of mercury fillings. (11,21,32).  Developmental effects on infants occur at low levels of mercury exposure and  many thousands are known to be affected. (25,26,12)       
 
8. Mercury vapor  from amalgam is the most dangerous form of mercury, most  rapidly crossing blood-brain barrier and mother’s placenta, and causing  adverse developmental effects at lower levels than other forms.     (28,26,21,29)
 
9.  In addition to the high mercury volatility and galvanic currents between mixed metals  in the mouth, electromagnetic fields (EMF) from appliances such as computer monitors cause currents in the metals which carry mercury into the body. (24,21)
 
10. Mercury in those with amalgam fillings or dental workers accumulates to much higher levels in the major body organs like the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys that receive a lot of blood than in those without amalgam.  Mercury blocks or damages metabolic or hormonal processes in all organs at very low levels of exposure.        (16,21,22,32)
 
11. Chronic adverse health effects from amalgam are common in adults. Mercury is extremely cytotoxic, neurotoxic, immunotoxic, endocrine disrupting, inflammatory, and a reproductive toxin.   Mercury commonly causes chronic neurological, immune and autoimmune, cardiovascular, hormonal, oral, and reproductive conditions. (1,27,23,22,21,32)
 
12. Those who replace amalgam fillings and reduce body mercury levels commonly recover or see significant improvement, as documented by peer-reviewed studies and thousands of clinical cases histories.   (23,31,21,32)        
 
13. Dental amalgam is the largest source of mercury in sewers and sewer sludge, and thus a major source in water bodies, fish, crops, and the atmosphere, due to sludge outgasing and high emissions from crematoria  (30).

 Dr. Alderson's button. She has worn, and adorned her family members, with similar / same at dental group functions.  Activism speak!

Practical Advise for Someone Hg Sensitive Going to a Mainstream Dental Office

This information can apply to someone not yet knowing what their sensitivity is, but suspects they may be. It is based on a person driving themselves to the dentist, but you can adapt for your circumstances.  

This portion of the topic was inspired by my someone I've only begun helping, who found out just last week they are mercury sensitive, happened to have a dental appointment for routine cleaning and exam.  Via Facebook and Dr. Kessler's wall, I long ago met Helen Alderson, DDS .  

She is being taught by Dr. Kessler for several years, in person on two occasions she has made the journey to Germany. She perhaps connected with him after I did, I don't know, but she was motivated to learn it as she's a mercury-sensitive dentist, with mercury sensitive offspring, and a lot of damage was being done if she didn't learn. With my first exposures after I was clear of mercury last summer for a time and 'got better', when I saw how it affected my thinking and feeling, mood and behaviors, she helped me with examples of how she knows if she or her kids are exposed because of behavior changes.  Ability to tolerate stress being one. (A.k.a. "patience"). Dr. Kessler makes behavior very simple and refers to "irrational thoughts".  Think of how this is affecting our society with people getting exposures through products and of course, dental industry practices if unconcerned about mercury released into the environment (or not concerned enough to be really safe).   

I thank Dr. Alderson for her caring about others learning and allowing me to use her suggestions on Lumigrate for YOU to benefit. This is based on what she answered when I asked about what to do if going to the general dentist:

Do you have any metal fillings which contain mercury (or iridium)(or gold) ? These are three elements of sensitivity for people, commonly used in the dental industry.   If so, request that those fillings not get polished, as it releases more of the metal to which you are sensitive (mercury in most cases).

To be safe, not sorry, assume the practice does not use proper safest removal practices. Surfaces in the office area and clinic may be contaminated (albeit disinfected). This means the waiting room furniture, counters, floors, ...everything.

Gather and take with you: shoes to wear getting back into the car and driving home, a plastic bag for the shoes that likely get contaminated (use a mercury-safe bag, of course, so watch out for bags treated to cover up odor of contents), and a towel to sit on in the car on the way home). A box or other container can substitute for the bag, but will need to be washed or thrown away when done, ideally. 

Plan to go directly home to limite time with mercury disrupting your energy.

Plan to wear shoes there which can be laundered.

Put a towel over the entire seat (headrest too) in the car for on the way home after the appointment. Don't have people accompany you in unless necessary but if they do, they will need to do similarly to your precautions. 

When at the car to return home, remove shoes when you sit and before getting feet into the car, and place them in the plastic bag. Being thought-full about how molecules could come off of the items in the bag and get in your car, close the bag / box and place it safely in the vehicle. 

(Perhaps leave the bag and shoes on your seat when you exit the vehicle to go to the dental office as a reminder to not 'just get in as usual'.  Hope for good enough weather, and if it's not figure a way to safely change shoes after leaving the dental office and before leaving the building. This is my embellishment, Dr. Alderson is in temperate San Francisco, I'm in very hot to very ice stormy western Colorado, where we thankfully have holistic (and mercury conscious, Jim Kennedy, DDS, who I learned a great deal from in the past and was helped my immeasurably, opening my mind further -- literally and figuratively -- for this type of provider and information to 'take me to the next step', and here we are!  I'm adding this on Friday the 13th of July, 2018.)

When you arrive home, being "thought-full" with the clothing that has likely gotten Hg on it, change clothes at minimum, and preferably have the ability (time, energy and facilities) to shower, including washing hair (in mercury-free products, of course!)

Launder the items which have, or likely could have, mercury / Hg (clothes, shoes, towel).

Hot off the Facebook press from Dr Kessler was an analogy, which spurred another analogy from one of his former learners, Dr. Helen Alderson, who now is teaching this to patients and other professionals via the professional organization circles she's able to present with for conferences.  Here they are, to embellish this thread at this point in time: 

Please follow to this link to see how I presented the basics of dysautonomia within the environmental illness / environmental wellness forum at Lumigrate.com. 

Similarly, I link from it to this thread, which is in the forum about Facebook and other Internet resources for learning.
