Energy Medicine: commentary by Linda & Dr. Gordon

Linda’s comments:  I totally agree with Dr Gordon….Energy medicine is the medicine of the FUTURE….The pharmafia will not give up until they take away our supplements, as they want to continue to make toxic drugs that kill a minimum of 250,000 people a year.  They can not get a patent on what God provides for us, so they will continue to try and beat us down…..I encourage each and every one of you that want to treat yourself with holistic/alternative medicine to find an herbalist in your state that teaches how to make remedies from the land….  We are blessed to have a few in the Southwest and thousands are learning to make their own tinctures and remedies from what grows in their state….Laser and any form of energy medicine is a MUST….Take some courses in LED training and learn to use the methods available….search on google.com and find these courses…Learn all you can about Laser’s and buy them….Get involved in electromedicine….The new PhotonGENIUS ROCKS…..here are some U-tubes regarding the Genius…write to me privately and I can talk in more detail…..I use this machine…I also sell them….

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

Energy medicine is in our future and many are practicing this now. I am very impressed with a new laser and I love the use of microelectric stimulation and pulsed or static magnetic fields. Today we see a resurgence of interest in homeopathy where we know for
certain that often less is more. This makes homeopathy an affordable method of treating patients but the science behind it requires discussing the new physics. 

This attached article is meant to keep us abreast of current developments in energy medicine.

Energy Medicine: Futuristic Healing With Ancient Roots 
“I have been trying to think of the earth as a kind of organism, but it is no go. I cannot think of it this way. It is too big, too complex, with too many working parts lacking visible connections. The other night, driving through a hilly, wooded part of southern New England, I wondered about this. If not like an organism, what is it like, what is it most like? Then, satisfactorily for that moment, it came to me: it is most like a single cell.”
— Lewis Thomas, M.D., former President of Sloan-Kettering Institute, and author of Lives of a Cell (from which this quote is taken).

The study of energy medicine is the study of the “many working parts lacking visible connections.” The forces and fields that connect organ to organ, body to mind, and mind to nature are not always visible. This invisibility does not mean that they do not exist. It may only mean that we have not even looked for it or have not yet developed the technology to objectively see, feel, or measure these interconnective forces.

The traditional definition according to physics refers to energy as “the capacity to do work” or as “a measurement of activity.” This meaning of energy is appropriate in conceptualizing energy medicine as long as the definition of “work” or “activity” not only includes the gross changes in biochemical and physiological systems but also includes the changes in energy levels and field phenomena that affect human health. Modern understanding from chaos and complexity theories confirms that even subtle changes in energy levels and field phenomena have the capacity to catalyze significant biological transformations.

Dr. Gordon comments on Mercola article regarding toxins in flame retardants

This issue about flame retardant is the tip of the iceberg. Go to Google and search on Ten Americans and find a video to learn what else is in everyone and at a much higher concentration in every newborn. Join me as I try to detox the world using things like Zeolite, high dose oral Vitamin C, Beyond Fiber, Greens, Maca and daily Zeolite starting with ACZ and then move on to ZeoGold, at least one daily for life.

This relationship to toxins and hormones is just beginning to be understood but it is real and I err on the side of recommending hormone support for most hormones daily possibly for life. That means using H.R.T, Herbal Remedy from Thailand, to offset the dioxins and other endocrine disruptors found so far in everyone tested by Mt Sinai School of Medicine environmental lab.

Also I used Beyond GHS to support pituitary function and avoid the need for HGH. Taken with MACA these two supplements both raise free testosterone levels, so many people can postpone testosterone supplementation sometime for years. WE ALL NEED TO OPTIMIZE HORMONE FUNCTION.

Go to www.gordonresearch.com and watch my webinars on FIGHT and then the hour long specials on FIGHT including Food, Infection, Genetics, Hormones and Heavy Metals and Toxins. I find most health problems are multifactorial and the acronym FIGHT helps remind my friends and patients to leave no stone unturned in their quest for optimal health, as I clearly am enjoying now at last at age 75. Detoxing is a life time program!!

Excerpt:

Pregnant women with higher blood levels of PBDEs, a common class of flame retardants, had altered thyroid hormone levels — a fact that could have implications for fetal health. 
PBDEs, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, are organobromine compounds which are found in household items such as carpets, electronics and plastics. PBDEs can leach out into the environment and accumulate in human fat cells. 

Eurekalert reports:
“Studies suggest that PBDEs can be found in the blood of up to 97 percent of U.S. residents, and at levels 20 times higher than those of people in Europe. Because of California’s flammability laws, residents in this state have some of the highest exposures to PBDEs in the world.”

The role of adrenomedullin in Lyme disease

Link: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&id=20921145&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks

Excerpt:

Borrelia burgdorferi stimulates a strong inflammatory response
during infection of a mammalian host. To understand the
mechanisms of immune regulation employed by the host to control
this inflammatory response, we focused our studies on
adrenomedullin, a peptide produced in response to bacterial
stimuli that exhibits antimicrobial activity and regulates
inflammatory responses by modulating the expression of
inflammatory cytokines. Specifically, we investigated the effect
of B. burgdorferi on the expression of adrenomedullin as well as
the ability of adrenomedullin to dampen host inflammatory
responses to the spirochete. The concentration of adrenomedullin
in the synovial fluid of untreated Lyme arthritis patients was
elevated compared with control osteoarthritis patient samples. In
addition, co-culture with B. burgdorferi significantly increased
the expression of adrenomedullin in RAW264.7 macrophages through
MyD88-, PI3-K-, and p38-dependent signaling cascades.
Furthermore, the addition of exogenous adrenomedullin to B.
burgdorferi-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages resulted in a
significant decrease in the induction of pro-inflammatory
cytokines. Taken together, these results suggest that B.
burgdorferi increases the production of The role of adrenomedullin in Lyme disease.

Autism and the Environment? With Dr. Gordon’s Commentary

The senate hearing is beginning to realize we have poisoned our planet and the toxins now in everyone are not causing just autism but they are contributing to every degenerative condition. Yes, the vaccines are bad, and YES we predispose us to the bad outcome by the nutrient deficiencies, including Omega 3 oil, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Iodine, the correct methylated form of folic acid and marginal levels of B12.

The attached picture of children born without limbs due to Thalidomide makes this statement very relevant. What we are seeing with childhood epidemic of obesity and diabetes, which clearly has some roots in BISPHENOL A and the resulting epigenetic changes with methylation issues etc. This leads me to send this statement to you now.

We know we are toxic and yet Big Pharma will continue to treat everything with another poison admitting tremendous “side effects” and ignoring the causes.

“We should also look back to the history of drug regulation.  It took the Thalidomide epidemic for us to take action.  Perhaps autism is the equivalent for environmental chemicals”

Please realize that, as Google’s “Ten Americans’ video” has proven, it is far more than just lead or mercury. Realize that vaccines are just another piece of the toxic soup our children are exposed to while getting dangerously depleted toxic foods that supply calories without nutrients.

I have explained the problem and provided answers in emails to you that work with my over 10 hours of webinars explaining my FIGHT program. Also now there are hours of recently recorded conference calls on topics from autism, aging, memory loss to Diabetes. I have provided useful answers that work; admittedly some are expensive and some are inconvenient, liking changing the diet and exercising,  but at least you do not need to be wandering around wondering why your patients are so sick and why our children cannot learn and why America is losing its world power status.

We are all in this together. We are in TOXIC AMERICA, watch CNN two one hour specials with Dr Sanjay Gupta on my website and start your detoxification today.

US Senate Hearing on Autism: It’s The Environment Not The Gene Pool

“We should also look back to the history of drug regulation.  It took the Thalidomide epidemic for us to take action.  Perhaps autism is the equivalent for environmental chemicals.” 

By Anne Dachel
We woke up to a different world on Tuesday, August 3, 2010.  With barely any notice, the autism community heard that the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Children’s Health would be holding a hearing entitled, “State of Research on Potential Environmental Health Factors with Autism and Related Neurodevelopment Disorders.” 

View archived webcast

As someone who follows autism in the news, this was a shock.  I’m used to stories like the recent series published on the Psychology Today blog by Dr. James Coplan.  He couldn’t make it any clearer.  Autism is something that has always been around–we’ve just expanded the definition and doctors are better at recognizing it.  The numbers haven’t increased.  

We’re all so used to hearing about the genetics of autism.  The explosion in autism is a mystery and no one seems in too big a hurry to solve it.  We’re told we just need more autism awareness and we’ve been conditioned to accept the reality of one percent of children being on the spectrum.  

So today was different.  Members of the U.S. Senate would be hearing about how the environment is linked to autism. 

XMRV with comments from Linda & Dr. Gordon

Linda’s comment….Folks I have been on this FIGHT program and all I can say is, IT WORKS….There are things coming out of me that would gross you out….however, they are out….with the everyday environmental toxins and pathogens we get from food and the air be believe, you need to seriously think about how to protect your health.   I once fell into the category of I needed to flush something 2 to 3 times yearly.  Well, what about the rest of the days of the years??  Doing a daily lifelong detox program, while replenishing the good things that come out of your body when you detox, is the best way to go…I found this out the hard way. 
 
Go to my my Webinar section and listen to ALL six Webinar’s on FIGHT…you won’t regret it…

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

WE ALL HAVE SOME CHRONIC INFECTIONS; now there is another major breakthrough to prove this. My Fight program clearly is meant to help us educate our patients that achieving optimal health is a lifetime challenge. With increasing sophistication of lab sciences, we will find many more challenges in every one of my FIGHT categories but with the epidemic if people with chronic fatigue, you now have even more reason to want to learn about Oxidative therapies like OZONE/UVB/SILVER. However, a unifying approach to enhance our bodies ability to deal with the multifactorial nature of any chronic disease should increase our interest in learning more about Energy medicine. This broad topic includes Homeopathy, Accupunture, Prayer, Microelectric Current therapy, Magnetic Healing, Oxygen, Hyperthermia and much of what is now called Alternative Medicine. 

This is just one line from this great overview of this topic that finds XMRV in Autism and Prostate Cancer and Chronic Fatigue. This area of research is all new this year but we can expect that someone will soon find many more fungi issues or parasites issues. Of course tying impaired health to our toxin load is just beginning to be seriously considered. Do not fail to look for a moment at this article, as when you tell patients they need to deal with the chronic infection  component of their current symptom complex, many feel you are off the wall. 

Unless they have heard of Candida or Chlamydia, or CMV or Lyme, they are not attuned to the need to lower their total body burden of pathogens. No one needs to spend the money to chase down which of these infections they have, as no one will test negative for one or more of these infections if adequately tested. So testing for most patients is impractical except to get their attention as to why they must do something about the infection component of my FIGHT program if they are to achieve optimal health.

“XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) is strongly associated with chronic fatigue syndrome/ME.  The earlier study published in the journal Science was a joint study by the Cleveland Clinic, the National Cancer Institute, and the Whittemore-Peterson Institute of the University of Nevada with Drs. Vincent Lombardi and Judy Mikovits as lead authors. Here the lead author of the NIH/Harvard/FDA study, Dr. Harvey Alter, noted in a press conference that he considered his study a confirmation of the earlier WPI study, even though they had detected different MLV-related viruses (MRVs), rather than only XMRV.  There does seem to be a greater variety of MRVs in chronic fatigue syndrome/ME patients than first understood. The WPI’s original study also showed some evidence of additional MRVs.”

My Wife, My Daughter, and XMRV
By Kent Heckenlively, Esq.

My wife has tested positive for XMRV, otherwise known as the xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus. 
My daughter with autism has also tested positive for XMRV, a new human retrovirus that was recently found to be highly associated with patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME by the Whittemore-Peterson Institute.
What has been discovered and speculated about for chronic fatigue syndrome/ME and XMRV may also hold important information for autism. 
By now many of you are probably aware that in August of 2010 the National Institute of Health, Harvard University, and the Food and Drug Administration published an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences confirming an earlier study showing that XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) is strongly associated with chronic fatigue syndrome/ME.  
The earlier study published in the journal Science was a joint study by the Cleveland Clinic, the National Cancer Institute, and the Whittemore-Peterson Institute of the University of Nevada with Drs.

Whistleblowers in the news — Corrupt Pharma

Chemo harmful to brain tissue – Dr. Gordon Comments

Linda’s comment:…More proof that protecting or building the immune with the FIGHT protocol.  I can not say enough about the importance of getting on a lifelong daily detox program….here is more proof….

Dr. Gordon’s Comment:

Since DCIS (Ductile Carcinoma in Situ) is just a premalignant condition, the odds are good that with my FIGHT program or the Kobayashi program, monitored annually or more often with blood tests like www.caprofile.net or www.testyourself.com.  With the knowledge of the damage chemo is doing to say nothing of the damage from radiation, would you want to let the mammogram push you into all of this expensive and dangerous care of surgery, radiation and chemo with the added risk from breast implants that often develop painful capsule contraction?

People are not being told how few cases go on to full blown cancer over a ten year period following this common diagnosis.

The annual use of blood based cancer screening and follow up with simple health promoting program based on my FIGHT program makes far more sense.

Save your brain from chemo side effects.

Chemotherapy destroys brain tissue, cognitive function
by Jonathan Benson, staff writer 

(NaturalNews) New research out of Indiana University adds to the growing list of harmful side effects caused by chemotherapy. According to scientists, the chemical cancer treatment destroys gray matter in the brain associated with cognitive function and memory.

Published in the journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, the study is the first of its kind to use brain imaging scans to verify the negative effects of chemotherapy on the brain. However, previous studies have already found that chemotherapy damages cognitive function, providing the basis for the popular term used to describe this condition known as “chemobrain”. 

“These analyses…suggest an anatomic basis for the cognitive complaints and performance changes seen in patients,” explained Andrew Saykin, Psy.D., director of the Indiana University Center for Neuroimaging and researchers at the IU Simon Cancer Center. “Memory and executive functions like multi-tasking and processing speed are the most typically affected functions and these are handled by the brain regions where we detected gray matter changes.”

Vitamin C & The Law

Linda’s comment:  AMEN to this statement “any physician, or panel of hospital-based physicians, claiming that Vitmin C is experimental, unapproved, and/or posing unwarranted risks to the health of a patient, is truly only demonstrating a complete and TOTAL ignorance or denial of scientific literature… Now I ask you, who might these nay-sayers be??  IMHO, brainwashed allopathic docs who don’t have a clue about the statements they make about Vitamin C and its benefits!!  Vitamin C IV’s have saved my life more times than I can count over the last 30 years….I have taken VitC IV’s in dosing as high as 100,000 thousands mgs….I take the BioEnerg-yC 20,000 mgs daily orally…  I gave my daughter 2000 mg THREE times daily when she began her monthly periods….NO PMS from her….LOL  She was also an athlete and was NEVER sick all through high school…BTW, the doctors which give me my Vitamin C IV’s are MD’s and DO’s, who have obtained their MD(h) license.  I say to those nay-sayers, prove to me it doesn’t work and prove to me it is dangerous.

When the companies ran trials on the value of VitC and came up with it didn’t do what they say it does, I ask, what mgs did you use…..GET THIS…500 mg…OMG, let me look at their foreheads, does it have STUPID stamped on it???  My 16 pound dog, get 4000mg in her gallon water pail…she is never sick either and over 10 yrs old….I give her Omega also….I also use my alternative modality machines….she loves them….we got rid of a worm/parasite infection she picked up at puppy park with my PhotonGenie machine….She also jumped off the bed, hurt her back and I used the Genie on her and increased her VitC…

If I hear one more time that VitC will give you kidney stones I will pick up a rock and hit the person that makes such a stupid statement….It isn’t VitC that causes kidney stone…DUH  Enough of my rant enjoy the following article…

Excerpt:

A Personal Viewpoint by Thomas E. Levy, M.D., J.D.

(OMNS November 11, 2010) As a patient, you have the right to any therapy that is not prohibitively expensive, established to be effective, and not prohibitively toxic.

Any physician, or panel of hospital-based physicians, claiming that vitamin C is experimental, unapproved, and/or posing unwarranted risks to the health of the patient, is really only demonstrating a complete and total ignorance or denial of the scientific literature. A serious question as to what the real motivations might be in the withholding of such a therapy then arises.

A doctor has the right to refuse to see you or treat you. A doctor does not have the right to deny you any therapy that is inexpensive and known to be effective and nontoxic; if there is toxicity involved, the patient can discharge his responsibility for such toxicity with proper informed consent. A doctor does not have the right to deny you consultation with another doctor that may have conflicting medical points of view.

Just as ignorance of the law is no sound defense to legal charges brought against you, ignorance of medical fact is ultimately no sound defense for a doctor withholding valid treatment, especially when that information can be easily accessed

While a hospital may or may not have a legal right to dictate to its physicians what they may or may not do, the patient and the family of the patient have the legal right to sue that hospital for any negative outcome that is perceived to directly result from such interference in patient care.

Complement factor H-related proteins & Borrelia

Link: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&id=20975954&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks

Excerpt:

METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To elucidate whether CRASP-5 and
CRASP-3 interact with various human proteins, both borrelial
proteins were immobilized on magnetic beads. Following incubation
with human serum, bound proteins were eluted and separated by
Glycine-SDS-PAGE. In addition to CFH and CFHR1, complement
regulators CFHR2 and CFHR5 were identified as novel ligands for
both borrelial proteins by employing MALDI-TOF. To further assess
the contributions of CRASP-3 and CRASP-5 to complement
resistance, a serum-sensitive B. garinii strain G1 which lacks
all CFH-binding proteins was used as a valuable model for
functional analyses. Both CRASPs expressed on the B. garinii
outer surface bound CFH as well as CFHR1 and CFHR2 in ELISA. In
contrast, live B. garinii bound CFHR1, CFHR2, and CFHR5 and only
miniscute amounts of CFH as demonstrated by serum adsorption
assays and FACS analyses. Further functional analysis revealed
that upon NHS incubation, CRASP-3 or CRASP-5 expressing borreliae
were killed by complement. 
CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: In the absence of CFH and the presence
of CFHR1, CFHR2 and CFHR5, assembly and integration of the
membrane attack complex was not efficiently inhibited indicating
that CFH in co-operation with CFHR1,
CFHR2 and CFHR5 supports complement evasion of B. burgdorferi
