Dr. Gordon’s Comments – Brain Trauma Can Mimic A.L.S.
By Linda on Oct 19, 2010 in F.I.G.H.T.
Please study this carefully; this field has been grossly ignored. It is not just Lou Gehrig’s Dx, it is many patients whose real problem stems from a blow to the brain and later develop pituitary malfunction.
You are not doing enough to support IGF-1 with or without brain trauma in most of your patients over 45. This information can change the life of many of your patients, and the life of your practice.
There is no question that pituitary impairment is happening by age 45 to most of us and all too often, much younger, following brain trauma and it is almost always entirely ignored. Now that we have affordable pituitary support products you need to look for low levels of IGF-1 and or HGH. If you start measuring IGF-1 and or HGH levels, there is probably more pathology happening here than the entire undiagnosed thyroid disease epidemic.
The Institute for Integrative Medicine conference covered the topic of brain trauma and pituitary malfunction in great detail and they have videos from all three days of their inaugural meeting. The next meeting will be January 28-30 in Orlando, Florida very reasonably prices with outstanding information. Registration and other information found onhttp://www.theifim.com/.
And there are safe effective and affordable alternatives orally administered, as Mark Gordon lectures. He and University Compounding carry a product he helped develop and I have located a non-prescription product from a multi-level company http://www.orendainternational.com called O-Tropin, which appears to be providing similar benefits. Longevity Plus is offering it to retail clients at this time.
I have had great success for several years providing Beyond GHS support, as a tablet, two to three at bedtime. Any athlete that seeks safe improvement of exercise tolerance loves to take it, and given a one month trial, 90+ percent will reorder, as long as they can afford it. I credit Beyond GHS with allowing me even with very minimal exercise over these past 75 years to still have excellent muscle tone. Now that I have added O-Tropin to my standard regime, which has been posted again on my website in its latest version, gives me real confidence that each year I am feeling looking and functioning younger.
No stem cells for me until they have all the issues overcome thank you. My program clearly is working for me but I admit few would be able to afford to follow my total program but those who follow even part of it will not regret it.

Excerpt:
A peer-reviewed paper to be published tomorrow in a leading journal of neuropathology suggests that Lou Gehrig’s demise — and that of some other athletes and soldiers given a
diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease — might have been catalyzed by injuries only now becoming understood: concussions and other brain trauma.Although the paper does not discuss the Yankees slugger specifically, its authors in interviews acknowledged the clear implication: Lou Gehrig might not have had Lou Gehrig’s
disease.
