Why You Should Not Stop Taking Your Vitamins
Posted: 10/18/11 05:06 PM ET

Do vitamins kill people?
How many people have died from taking vitamins?
Should you stop your vitamins?

It depends. To be exact, it depends on the quality of the science, and the very nature of scientific research. It is very hard to know things exactly through science. The waste bin of science is full of fallen heroes like Premarin, Vioxx and Avandia (which alone was responsible for 47,000 excess cardiac deaths since it was introduced in 1999).
That brings us to the latest apparent casualty, vitamins.

Linda’s comment:  Human babesiosis in the United States is primarily attributable to infection with the intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite, Babesia microti.

CONCLUSIONS: Recipients of components from B. microti-positive donors
were infected via transfusion, with index donations from parasitemic
donors posing the greatest transmission risk. This report of B. microti
transmission detected through LB, coupled with ongoing TTB cases,
indicates that interventions are needed to reduce transmission of B.
microti to US blood recipients.

Excerpt:

In acute LNB, all
patients had elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocyte counts. In
contrast to infections by other bacteria, CSF lactate was lower than 3.5
mmol/l in all but 5 patients. The CSF findings did not differ between
polyradiculoneuritis, facial palsy, and meningitis. The CSF in LNB
patients strongly differed from CSF in VM patients with respect to
protein concentration and the CSF/serum albumin quotient.

Linda comment’s:  I have been on the Dr Garry Gordon, DO, MD, MD(h) lifelong daily DETOX POTOCOL CALLED F.I.G.H.T. for over 2 years now….His power drink is only one part of FIGHT….This protocol gives you energy, reduces your total body burden of toxins And pathogens….It has helps dissolve BIOFILMS which is important with any disease, especially LYME DISEASE….please go to my blog atwww.lymebook.com/fight and listen to all 6 of the FIGHT protocols….each one is 60 min., BUT WORTH YOUR TIME….

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

This link is a great reminder about some basics that are needed for effective detoxing but this is never a simple one day visit to a spa. This is a LIFETIME PROGRAM. I really emphasize the point here that sweating is a great way for toxins to leave the body, and many will not start sweating very easily, but with time everyone can.

Everything works far better if you have your patients on ZEOGOLD and the four vital ingredients that make up my POWER DRINK. It is ESSENTIAL for long term success, and I would make it clear it needs to be taken daily for life! The four products are:
BioEn’R-G’y C, Beyond Fiber, MACA, and my Organic Green Drink. They are all combined in a 12 ounce cup and consumed at least once a day at a slightly heaping teaspoon of all of those ingredients.

But the magic is in the contents from one capsule of Zeogold, which makes all the difference with my detoxing program. Zeolite is required today for optimum health.

Dr Mark Hyman

Can ‘detox’ really help me, or is it just a celebrity fad?

IT’S NOT A FAD. Detoxification is key to health. In fact, problems with detoxification is one of the roots of illness. The gut is one of the core systems in the body that must be working well for you to be healthy. If you feel lousy, it’s likely you’re toxic.

Most of us are toxic in some way but the good news is that you don’t need to go to a spa for help. Here are ten basic principles that you can start now.

1.Drink plenty of clean water, at least eight to ten glasses of filtered water a day.

Higher Folic Acid intake in premenopausal woman is associated with 40% lower incidence of breast cancer.

“The results were higher intake of folate was related to reduced risk of breast cancer and this only applied to premenopausal women.”

Folate Associated with Reduced Risk of Breast Cancer
Source: American Journal of Epidemiology

Breast cancer is a cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. Risk factors for breast cancer include gender, age, family history, defective genes, early onset of menstruation, late menopause and late childbearing. Breast cancer is about ninety percent due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and the “wear and tear” of life in general.

Cover Story
Garry Gordon is the Genius
of Complementary Medicine—

Listen Closely
Garry Gordon, M.D., D.O.,M.D.(H.) is a genius. Everyone who knows him or has heard about him—and who has a shred of honesty—agrees on this. Some of his fiercest critics might not like doing so. But if they’re being honest, they will.

Garry is smarter than your doctor and, even if your doctor is brilliant, he or she could learn a thing of two
from Dr. Gordon.

“A Halloween Story”

Listen my children and you shall hear
Of a Halloween story that’s rather queer
It’ matters not it you live near or far
… It will get you where ever you are!

This tiny creature of day or night
WIll sink its clinchers into you and take a bite
Like a vampire sucking your blood with all its might
Til you find you’re not feeling quite right

Then with out you knowing
You find into someone else you are growing
A Halloween story for days of yore
You’re nothing like you were before

And off to the doctor you go
To find out if there’s a problem and they say “NO”!
And you hear the very thing you dread
They tell you that “Its all in your head”

When acutally the fact of the matter is true
There are tiny monsters living inside of you
And the fact that will really give you a chill
They burrow inside of you like a tiny drill

Drilling-biting- living- breeding
It’s on your body they are feeding
Your brain -your heart- your blood- your liver
Doesn’t the thought of it just make you shiver?

That the reason you are so very ill
Is because it’s on your body they make their meal
Until you are pale as a ghost
It is the parasite- and you are the host

So heed little children to what I say
Like a vampire its out there stalking its prey
And I promise before the day is through
It will claim its next victim- It could be you!

So you shudder to think that anything
Like that could ever happen to you?
For those of us who have Lyme
THAT STORY IS TRUE!!!!

Linda’s comment:   We all hear about GMO foods and how deadly it can be for those of us with chronic illness….We have an epidemic of poor health, yet we can fix that if we clean up our diets….

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

GMO foods are one cause of todays epidemic of poor health contributing to food sensitivities is the tip of the iceberg. Now, there is hope we can stop this monster; truth in labeling will put an end to this travesty.

“Why are there basically no genetically engineered foods or crops anywhere in Europe, while 75 percent of U.S. supermarket foods—including many so-called “natural” foods—are GE tainted?

The answer is simple. In Europe genetically modified foods and ingredients have to be labeled. In the U.S. they do not. Up until now, in North America, Monsanto and the Biotechnocrats have enjoyed free reign to secretly lace non-organic foods with gene-spliced viruses, bacteria, antibiotic-resistant marker genes, and foreign DNA—mutant “Frankenfoods” shown to severely damage the health of animals, plants, and other living organisms in numerous scientific studies.

Monsanto and their allies understand the threat that truth-in-labeling poses for GMOs”

See the attached and know that together consumers do have the power to end Monsanto control of all food.

Organic Consumers Association

“If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it.” – Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994

Monsanto and Food Inc.’s stranglehold over the nation’s food and farming system is about to be challenged in a food fight that will largely determine the future of American agriculture.

Celebrating the Non-GMO Revolution

Dear Garry,

On January 20th Pamm Larry had an epiphany, as she calls it. Why not have a GMO labeling law on the November 2012 ballot in California? She did her research, put a website together, and “came out” on March 20—as a single voice with a big idea. Within six months, there were about 70 state leaders – holding events, showing films, recruiting support, and creating the framework for what may become the pivotal vote to usher GMOs out of our food supply.
