No Deaths from Vitamins
America’s Largest Database Confirms Supplement Safety

(OMNS, Dec 28, 2011) There was not even one death caused by a vitamin supplement in 2010, according to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System.

The new 203-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published online at http://www.aapcc.org/dnn/Portals/0/2010%20NPDS%20Annual%20Report.pdf, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin.

Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid or dietary mineral supplement.

Of course having optimal iron stores is merely the tip of the iceberg, as once you open the door to the need for optimizing nutritional status of anyone having obesity issues, you can rest assured that there will be other issues warranting your attention since we can also assume there will be a need for more VIT D and Magnesium, etc. Then with the widespread use of Fluorine in processes foods and dental products, as well as the widespread use of fluorine in our water, and the increased levels of Bromine now present in our bread, we can easily realize that we might find marginal Iodine status leading to suboptimal thyroid status. Fluorine is an antagonist to iodine, which was suboptimal in our diet even before we had the bromine and fluorine issues to aggravate low iodine status, leading to the epidemic of undiagnosed and undertreated thyroid problems rampant in our country today.

So this article will help your practice. Let patients know that guessing about iron status is no longer optimal medical care, as too much iron carries negative consequences but too little is also a health risk issue.

Iron Status Related to Body Fat

According to a recently published study, iron levels are associated with the amount of body fat in adolescents. Iron plays a role in several important physiological functions, including carrying oxygen throughout the body bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Free iron is transported in the blood by the protein transferrin. The most specific indicator of iron status is transferrin saturation, which is the ratio of serum iron and total iron-binding capacity, multiplied by 100.

Good food may be coming soon to America! This is an extremely exciting new concept, affordable tasty healthy fast food!! We want to encourage the principals in this exciting project to expand and support them in every way we can.

Get Your LYFE Back: Vote with Your Fork

Everybody has thought of it, but no one has done it. And we desperately need it!
How do we get food that tastes better than what you find in almost any restaurant or chain in America for a fraction of the cost? How do you “eat good, feel good and do good” when you eat your lunch?

Imagine eating food that delights your palette, heals your body, and supports the transformation of our agriculture and food supply by networking and supporting small, local, organic and clean farmers and fisheries. Imagine eating dishes spiced with herbs grown in the middle of the restaurant.

This is important research documenting the benefits of Omega-6 by looking at Arterial stiffness. This form of documentation of benefits is what we used 35 years ago when I wrote the Chelation protocol still widely used around the world today.

I have always insisted that Beyond Chelation Improved could not have eliminated fatal heart attacks, as well as it has, unless there were important synergies in the over 100 active ingredients found in the nine pill packets taken ideally twice a day.

Please understand you are as old as your arteries and preventing or even just slowing arterial stiffness is real anti-aging medicine! I hope you understand that I also work to keep bones strong, i.e. calcified and arteries soft, i.e. not calcified. That has been my Anti-aging focus for over 35 years so please read up on pathological calcification and K-2 and the rest of what I have written about extensively now for years.

Measuring arterial stiffness is a useful part of anti-aging medicine and keeps patients interested in staying on a comprehensive program to stay younger. There are great affordable devices today that accomplish this. Check out International Anti-aging Systems or IAS for their great affordable instrument that boils this down to VASCULAR AGE. You can make patients arteries many years younger over time predictably with the programs I have written about both oral and or IV but this is a lifetime program!!

Excerpt:

Australian researchers pooled results of 10 randomized and controlled adult human clinicals investigating the effects of omega-3 supplementation on arterial stiffness. Trials ranged from 6 to 105 weeks in duration, with supplementation of 640 to 3000 mg of combined omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the form of daily capsules. A total of 550 participants were included in the meta-analysis, ranging from healthy men to subjects with various cardiovascular conditions, including overweight, diabetes, and hypertension.

“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.

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.

“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.

Vitamin D supplementation now seems essential for almost everyone on the planet. We can argue about how much to supplement for which patients. There, of course, will be those who need none and someone will always exist that cannot tolerate any supplemental vitamin D without some side effect occurring. Here are many of the positive reports about vitamin D in one convenient location showing that it might be an alternative to flu shots and is generally low in pregnant women and can help prevent some cancers etc (http://www.agdnutrition.com/articles-archived.html).

5000 units of Vitamin D is not too much and for many patients it is not enough to put their vitamin D levels at what are widely believed now to be optimal levels.

The researchers looked at 3,667 men and women between the ages of 40 to 65 years. It turns out that the dose necessary to ensure that almost all (97.5%) of these people had a vitamin D3 level of at least 40 ng/ml was 9,600 units per day. As you can see, even 9,600 units a day was not enough for many people to achieve the optimal levels (over 60) needed for maximum cancer prevention.

Do you really need to take that much vitamin D?

You probably already know how important vitamin D is for your health. It helps keep your bones strong, your immune system supercharged, and your tissues cancer free. Even though they know it’s good for them, one thing people just can’t understand is the importance of taking a lot of vitamin D.

5’MTHF issues are much more complex than is generally recognized, so normal test results can mean nothing. Whatever you knew until today is not enough to protect your patients and loved ones.

The attached NEJM article from July 9 adds considerable likelihood that when someone tells you that the patient’s nutritional status is just fine, they very likely may be dead wrong. The patient suffers seizures and mental disorders that fail to respond to anything because you had not read the attached, which found that the level of folic acid was fine everywhere except in the cerebral spinal fluid. Now they can explain what is going on and it amenable to proper folate treatment, as found in Beyond B-12 sublingual tablets available only from Longevity Plus.

In infantile-onset cerebral folate deficiency, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) levels in the cerebrospinal fluid are low, but folate levels in the serum and erythrocytes are normal. We examined serum specimens from 28 children with cerebral folate deficiency, 5 of their mothers, 28 age-matched control subjects, and 41 patients with an unrelated neurologic disorder. Serum from 25 of the 28 patients and 0 of 28 control subjects contained high-affinity blocking autoantibodies against membrane-bound folate receptors that are present on the choroid plexus.

A: Dear Doctor:

It appears to me that one mg of MAGNESIUM is so low as to not be meaningful. I am sending you the Google link so you can do your own analysis but I like to administer LOTS of magnesium; for example, 500 mg to one gram so that appears to require several ampoules. I suggest that you give 4 to 8 ampoules. You can now calculate the calcium but I always prefer a little bit more magnesium than calcium in my patients oral and even in IV.

Dr. Gordon’s comments: Please save your patients eyes and brain. Let them understand this important research on vision and brain function and vitamin C! The new research indicates that vitamin C may not only benefit the eye, but have wider implications for the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS).

Vitamin C shows eyes & brain health potential: Study
By Stephen Daniells, 18-Jul-2011

One of the nutrition industry’s biggest sellers – vitamin C – may help nerve cells in the eye to function properly, says a new study that suggests the vitamin may also be important for brain function, too. 

The “surprising discovery” by researchers Oregon Health & Science University indicates that vitamin C may be needed for correct functioning of retinal cells, which in turn may have implications for the central nervous system.
