I was prompted to write this blog entry when I read a post by asburyparkangel 
"According to my research, Dystonias are caused by toxins, (which include  pesticides, carbon monoxide, anti-histamines, auto exhaust, chemicals  in household products, etc). I worked with airplane glue and spray paint  when I was in my twenties and never imagined that taking Chlor  Trimetron allergy tablets as a yong woman would cause this disorder. I  also had a mercury filling left in my mouth, ( from my foster-child  years). Mercury is HIGHLY toxic and cause terrible damage to the body.  Also check for LYME which is the GREAT imitator that imitates Lupus and a  host of other ailments. Hair analysis are excellent to detect heavy  metal. Mainstream doctors will not look into these procedure, but you  life depends on it. Oral chelation and detoxifying through FAR saunas is  crucial to rid the body of accumulated poisons. “DETOX or DIE” by  Doctor Sherry Rogers is crucial reading to educate yourself about body  poison load.
.NUTRA-Sweet & Splenda are highly toxic as well as high-fructose  corn syrup in sodas & snacks. EDUCATE yourself. You’ll also have to  eat only organic foods and pure spring and distilled water. Your whole  lifestyle will have to be OVERHAULED. Do it of DIE! I pray you will  profile and have divine health with this info I’ve applied to my life.  God bless you!"
This reminded me of a book review 5 years ago:
By John J. Heney
ISBN 1-894263-56-1
Collapsing in the shower early one morning in 1991, Ottawa journalist  John Heney found himself unable to control his hands or legs, suddenly  going into full-body spasms which would mount to dozens of these attacks  per day. Within weeks he would find himself without work, direction or  hope as the damage in his nervous system took hold.
Misdiagnosis, malpractice and miscommunication would mean it would be up  to him to discover what could be done about this baffling disorder, and  how he could regain purpose, an income and personal independence while  being left, as one doctor put it, with a "hideous and horrible way to  have to live."
The Thunder Within dares to challenge us about the way our society deals  with healing, and how we often forget the value of teamwork, respect  and joy in daily living. Deemed to have done "more for himself than the  entire medical profession," Heney turned his background into a source of  information, insight and teaching as he began to share with all manner  of groups about the physics and spirit behind thought, intent,  abilities, hope and inspiration.
Hilarious at times, uplifting in its recommendations and candid in its  revelations, The Thunder Within is being used in business instruction,  in Scouting, and by doctors, patients, therapists, families and friends  of the ill, and by Canada’s Department of National Defence. It has been  featured at a Conference Board of Canada national seminar.
Why? The Thunder Within touches us in places we know are there but which  we often dare not speak of. The book reveals, by example, how much more  can be found within each of us exactly where we are, no matter how  small or large our role in life.
The experience that made John Heney the "spiritual mechanic" by showing  people the principles of fun, ease and joy in learning is now spreading  its influence worldwide, and can be yours as a spectator, in a journey  that is transforming the workplace, the role of medicine, and how we  treat ourselves and others.
