The operation of the aluminum trust has given rise to a new
epidemic in the United States. Two and one half million Americans
are currently afflicted with a strange, incurable disease called
Alzheimer’s disease. Its victims now require more than $50 billion
worth of medical care each year, and the prognosis always grows
darker, due to the progressive nature of this illness. It strikes the
neurotransmitters of the brain, which, as has already been noted, are
adversely affected by fluoride; however, the principal agent seems
to be the accumulation of aluminum deposits on the principal nerves
of the brain. About 70% of the costs of this illness is borne by the
families of the afflicted, because most Medicare and private health
insurance programs refuse to pay it. The Medical Monopoly has
been frantically trying to find some other agent in this disease,
spending millions to study such factors as genetic predisposition,
slow virus, environmental toxins, and immunologic changes, despite
the fact that its origins have been traced to the large amounts of
aluminum which most Americans began ingesting with their food
since the 1920s. Alzheimers is now causing more than 100,000
deaths annually, and is the fourth leading cause of adult death in the
United States, yet, significantly, there has been no national
foundation such as the American Cancer Society or the Arthritis
Foundation to investigate its causes, because the Medical Monopoly
already knows the answer.

Alzheimer’s growing incidence was at first dismissed as
“growing old”; later it was diagnosed as “premature senility” (it
often strikes in the mid fifties). These were the men and women who
had grown up in America during the 1920s, a period when the
traditional cast iron and earthenware cooking vessels were almost
universally replaced by the more modern, and seemingly more
convenient, aluminum cookware. The present writer’s parents both
grew up on farms in rural areas of Virginia. Their food, almost
entirely home grown, was prepared in iron pots over wood-fuelled
cookstoves. Those Americans born after 1920 had their food
prepared in aluminum pots, which were usually heated over gas
flames, later electric. This writer’s mother often remarked that food
cooked over gas flame never tasted like food cooked over wood
fires. The reason is that the combustion of poisonous fuel inevitably
releases some toxins into the air, and into the food. Electric heat is

also said to materially affect food, because of the electric vibrations
given off by the heat.

By the 1930s, American housewives had learned that it was
potentially dangerous to leave many foods in aluminum pots for
more than a few minutes. Greens, tomatoes, and other vegetables,
were known to discolor and became poisonous in a short time.
Tomatoes could actually pit and corrode the interior of the
aluminum pots in a short time; many foods turned the pots black.
Strangely enough, no one took these obvious warning signs as an
indication that cooking food in aluminum pots even for a few
minutes might produce unfortunate results. It is now known that
cooking any food in an aluminum pot, particularly with fluoridated
water, quickly forms a highly poisonous compound. Dr. McGuigan’s
testimony in a famous court hearing on aluminum effects, the Royal
Baking Powder case, revealed that extensive research had shown
that boiling water in aluminum pots produced hydro-oxide poisons;
boiling vegetables in aluminum also produced a hydro-oxide poison;
boiling an egg in aluminum produced a phosphate poison; boiling
meat in an aluminum pot produced a chloride poison. Any food
cooked in aluminum containers would neutralize the digestive
juices, produce acidosis, and ulcers. Perhaps the use of aluminum
pots produced the widespread indigestion in America, which then
necessitated the ingesting of large amounts of antacids containing
even more aluminum!

After consuming food cooked in aluminum pots over a period
from twenty to forty years, many Americans began to experience
serious memory loss; their mental capacities then deteriorated
rapidly, until they were totally unable to fend for themselves or to
recognize their spouses of many years. It was then found that
concentrations of aluminum in certain areas of the brain had caused
permanent deterioration of brain cells and nerve connections; the
damage was not only incurable; it was also progressive and not
responsive to any known treatment. This epidemic was soon known
as Alzheimer’s disease. Seven per cent of all Americans over 65
have now been diagnosed as having this disease. Many others have
not been diagnosed; they are simply dismissed as senile,
incompetent or mentally ill.

Dr. Michael Weiner and other physicians have found that the
epidemic has been caused, not only by the aluminum cookware, but
by the daily increasing ingestion of aluminum from many products
in common household usage. The insatiable marketers of aluminum
have annually expanded its use in many products, whose consumers
have no idea that they are ingesting any type of aluminum. Women’s
douches now contain solutions of aluminum, which introduces it
directly into the system. The most widely used painkillers such as
buffered aspirin contain impressive quantities of aluminum;
Ascriptin A/D (Rorer) has 44 mg. of aluminum per tablet; Cama
(Dorsey) has 44 mg. of aluminum per tablet. However, the largest
single source of aluminum occurs with the daily ingestion of widely
prescribed and nonprescription antacid products for stomach upsets.
