Linda & Dr. Gordon on the “T” in FIGHT

Linda’s comments: GO TO ONE OF MY BLOGS……. www.lymebook.com/fight and watch all SIX of the free webinars on FIGHT…….if you are fighting ANY CHRONIC ILLNESS THEY ARE A MUST WATCH……we must reduce our total body burden of pathogens and toxins, IF WE WANT TO GET WELL….

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

The T in my FIGHT program is the bombshell that is largely ignored.   T is for toxins and they are ALWAYS present.  How can we move medicine into dealing with adverse effects of pesticides instead of poisoning patients with more toxic drugs? Pesticides are everywhere thanks to GMO foods where the food itself provides us with Bacillus Theringensis or BT.
Now we find this report of a small effort to reduce home and garden use of pesticides. Look at the potential benefits including lowering   incidence of:  cancers including Leukemia, cognitive disturbances, and disturbed behavior. These are just a few of the thousands of references that should wake us up to see the need to prevent toxicity by utilizing oral chelators  such as High Dose C and Fiber and Zeolite and Greens daily throughout life for those we love.
There many substantial benefits when we start to demand organic food. Our environment will be safer and perhaps we will not have one out of four children on drug treatment for some illness including Autism, ADHD, OCD, Cancer, Hypertension, obesity, or Diabetes by the time they start school.
The fact is that sperm count was 160 million in just the past 50 years and is now lucky to reach 40 million. That fact should make it clear that my FIGHT program is essential for everyone as we are all toxic; testing is expensive and optional since no one has ever passed the $4900 test at Mt. Sinai (see Ten Americans study on my website).
These toxins are why we need   the assistance of fertility specialists just to have babies
yet all we do is prescribe a toxic drug even anti-psychotics to kids because they have “problems”   so they cannot function well. We mask the problem with  some drug but clearly not 1 %  of patients with these issues are told anything about organic living or  the need for lifetime detoxification particularly critical  during pregnancy, when the mother’s toxins are being downloaded to the fetus.

Pesticides bans are healthy for environment and people

If you live in a province that hasn’t already banned cosmetic pesticides, tell your representative that you want legislation to ensure a clean environment for you and your children (Credit: OlivIreland via Flickr).

Mercury – commentary by Linda & Dr. Gordon

Linda’s comment:…..Heavy-metals are a food for Lyme critters….I started on my journey of removing the heavy metals from my body almost 2 years ago….I had 14 amalgams removed….I went on the FIGHT protocol and I’m slowly removing these metals….having that many amalgams, we know that I have mercury deep in my bones….get with it and begin the journey of removing the heavy metals from your bodies…it is a slow process, but you must start somewhere…..Having Lyme disease, the mercury serves as heavy armor for the critters….We are getting slammed daily from our dirty environment with heavy metals….we are in a fight for our lives…..The FIGHT program will make your journey much easier…

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

Mercury is seriously increasing in our environment from coal burning power plants, dentistry etc. How could you prove that mercury is not a contributor to anyone’s health problems, whether mental or physical?

Read this and realize that if treatment was free, and safe, probably everyone on the planet deserves mercury detoxification.

What is the dental component vs. the coal burning component? The answer to that will depend on the individual, as that is where the mercury in fish is largely coming from.

Here is an excerpt from this great well reference article by Mark Hyman MD:

“Whether your fillings are new or old, the mercury in them is constantly absorbed into your body. And even if you stop being exposed to that mercury, it sticks around. It takes up to 18 years for the body to clear half of the dose of mercury from the body. Once mercury is in the body it comes out only VERY slowly.

In fact, people with amalgam fillings have significantly elevated blood mercury levels, three to five times more mercury in the urine, and two to twelve times more mercury in their tissues than those without amalgam fillings.

However blood and urine mercury levels don’t necessarily relate to the mercury load in your body tissues or severity of clinical symptoms.

Research on sheep and monkeys with dental amalgams has shown that blood mercury levels remained low – even though their tissue mercury levels were raised.

Urine mercury levels aren’t much better as an indicator of your total mercury load. They mainly reflect the cumulative dose of inorganic mercury in the kidneys and there exists only a very weak correlation with levels in other target tissues”

10 Truths and Tips about Mercury Toxicity
1.Industrial exposure to mercury is significant and mostly comes from coal burning (220 million pounds a year) and chlor-alkali plants. 
2.The main ways that humans are exposed to mercury are from contaminated fish and dental amalgams or silver fillings. 
3.Mercury can affect nearly all your organs, especially the brain, heart, kidneys, and gut. 
4.Many chronic diseases may be caused or worsened by mercury, including neurologic disease, ADHD, autism, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and more. 
5.Some of us are genetically better adapted to detoxify mercury than others, leading to variable effects within the population. 
6.You should reduce your exposure by avoiding large ocean fish (like tuna, swordfish, shark, and tilefish) and river fish. Eat only small wild fish. If it fits in your pan, it is probably okay. 
7.Blood tests are relatively worthless for analyzing mercury toxicity, unless you have had a significant recent exposure or eat a lot of sushi or tuna. 
8.Hair tests only check for mercury from fish, not from fillings so they only give you a partial picture. 
9.The only way to find out your total body load of mercury is to take a medication with sulfur molecules that binds to the mercury like fly paper. This is called DMSA or DMPS. This test should ONLY be done by a trained physician and involves taking one dose of this medicine, followed by a 6- or 24-hour urine collection to see how much comes out. (In my opinion, the most reliable testing is done by Doctorsdata.com). 
10.If you are toxic and sick, you may consider addressing your dental health by seeing a biological dentist who can safely help you deal with mercury in your mouth. 

Lead in vinegar

Findings from a November 9, 2009, Environmental Health News report have revealed that many varieties of balsamic vinegar contain trace amounts of lead that are contributing to neurological and other damage in both children and adults. Ingestion of a single tablespoon of vinegar with the highest tested levels of lead was found to potentially raise a child’s blood lead level by 30% while two tablespoons a day would raise it by 55%.

ADHD & zinc, copper deficiency

November 3, 2009 (Honolulu, Hawaii) — Overall nutritional status in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) shows that this patient population is at risk for low trace mineral status, including deficiencies in zinc and copper — minerals that may play a crucial role in the production of dopamine, norepinephrine, and melatonin, which regulates sleep.
