Martin Pall talks on Chronic Disease (with comments from Dr. Gordon)

Martin Pall has made a major contribution to our understanding of many of the CHRONIC degenerative diseases we see today. I like the fact that this provides a molecular based explanation that leads to improved understanding of the need for a total nutritional support program in these diseases, which our colleagues all too often dismiss as psychosomatic.

This link will take you into well written materials by Dr Pall that may add to your ability to move beyond today’s differential diagnosis into a more comprehensive understanding of what is really going wrong when our patients develop fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities, etc.

Novel Disease Paradigm Produces Explanations for a Whole Group of Illnesses

A Common Causal (Etiologic) Mechanism for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Fibromyalgia and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Martin L. Pall, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences,
Washington State University and Research Director, The Tenth Paradigm Research Group.

The Tenth Paradigm of Human Disease

The basic proposal that is developed here and is amplified further in my book and in my other web pages, is that the NO/ONOO- cycle explanatory model is the tenth major paradigm of human disease.  There are nine well-accepted paradigms listed below along with the NO/ONOO- cycle:

Major Disease Paradigms

1.   Infectious diseases.

2.   Genetic diseases.

3.   Nutritional deficiency diseases.

4.   Hormone dysfunction diseases.

5.   Allergies.

6.   Autoimmune diseases.

7.   Somatic mutation/selection (cancer).

8.   Ischemic cardiovascular diseases.

9.   Amyloid (including prion) diseases.

10.  NO/ONOO- cycle diseases

Curcumin: the Indian solid gold

Cancer therapies should include high quality absorbable curcumin, as it provides the same effects as standard chemo does!

Curcumin has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities and thus has a potential against various malignant diseases, diabetes, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic illnesses.

These effects are mediated through the regulation of various transcription factors, growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, protein kinesis, and other enzymes. Curcumin exhibits activities similar to recently discovered tumor necrosis factor blockers (e.g., HUMIRA, REMICADE, and ENBREL), a vascular endothelial cell growth factor blocker (e.g., AVASTIN), human epidermal growth factor receptor blockers (e.g., ERBITUX, ERLOTINIB, and GEFTINIB), and a HER2 blocker (e.g., HERCEPTIN).

Considering the recent scientific bandwagon that multi-targeted therapy is better than mono-targeted therapy for most diseases, curcumin can be considered an ideal “Spice for Life”.

Excerpt:

Turmeric, derived from the plant Curcuma longa, is a gold-colored spice commonly used in the Indian subcontinent, not only for health care but also for the preservation of food and as a yellow dye for textiles. Curcumin, which gives the yellow color to turmeric, was first isolated almost two centuries ago, and its structure as diferuloylmethane was determined in 1910. Since the time of Ayurveda (1900 Bc) numerous therapeutic activities have been assigned to turmeric for a wide variety of diseases and conditions, including those of the skin, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal systems, aches, pains, wounds, sprains, and liver disorders. Extensive research within the last half century has proven that most of these activities, once associated with turmeric, are due to curcumin. Curcumin has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities and thus has a potential against various malignant diseases, diabetes, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic illnesses. These effects are mediated through the regulation of various transcription factors, growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, protein kinases, and other enzymes. Curcumin exhibits activities similar to recently discovered tumor necrosis factor blockers (e.g., HUMIRA, REMICADE, and ENBREL), a vascular endothelial cell growth factor blocker (e.g., AVASTIN), human epidermal growth factor receptor blockers (e.g., ERBITUX, ERLOTINIB, and GEFTINIB), and a HER2 blocker (e.g., HERCEPTIN).

Weaving Internal Medicine with Alternative Medicine to Use the Best Each Has to Offer

Our colleague, Dr Simon Yu, board certified internist in St Louis has written a new book that you must own if you wish be in the know on energy medicine and EAV. Accidental Cure is a must own book. The information it contains might just save your life or the life of a loved one.

This book is new this year and it will enable you to utilize information from biological medicine accurately and affordably. I hope you also subscribe to EXPLORE, the digital on line version that covers all the biological medicine you never hear about in  USA, but with Dr YU’s book you will know how to practice this advanced energy based medicine.

This book makes the use of homeopathic and energy medicine totally understandable with his succinct explanation of the new physics on which all of this is based. It will cause you to be much more aware of one more commonly overlooked contributor to your patient’s complex symptoms, parasites, and the EAV method of determining which parasite your patient has. We know that standard stool tests in the best labs only identify a fraction of what is there without multiple repeated testing using aggressive stool collection.

I urge you to check out his websites and I attach a couple of statements from his website here to convince you to get his book and learn much more about EAV testing, parasites etc.

Article:

“Think differently! We must correct the underlying problems that cause our illnesses.
Only by doing so, will our bodies correct themselves and return to optimal health.”
Simon Yu, M.D.

Weaving Internal Medicine with Alternative Medicine to Use the Best Each Has to Offer

Prevention and Healing clinic integrates traditional internal medicine with Alternative and Complementary medicine for the management of chronic illness when conventional approaches alone have failed.

“My Doctor said everything is fine! Then why do I feel so bad?”

New environments bring new health problems. Conventional medical treatments never deal with the reasons why illnesses exist. They frequently create new health problems as side effects in their attempts to treat symptoms.

Modern medicine has been very successful in dealing with many serious infectious diseases and acute medical problems, but now we are facing greater challenges.

We are dealing with chronic illnesses based on their symptoms such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Allergies, Hypoglycemia, Anxiety, Depression, Irritability, Attention Deficit and Memory Loss, and later diagnosed with Diabetes, Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Heart Disease, Cancer, Alzheimer’s, and many others.

If you’re suffering from a chronic and incurable disease, have been diagnosed with “medically unexplained symptoms (MUS)” and labeled as a weird, difficult or extreme patient, there is hope for you. Think outside of MUS head! Your medical problems may not be what you think or what you have been told or diagnosed.

Think hidden parasite infection, food allergies, environmental toxicities from heavy metals and chemical exposures, dental infection, diet and nutrition, unresolved emotional conflict and the need for detoxifications. Accidental Cure, the book, will explain my approach to an individualized evaluation based on your unique biological terrain, bio-cybernetic matrix, and bio-energetic, acupuncture meridian assessment.

You may go to my web site for numerous articles. To be informed of the book’s release, you can sign up for my newsletter through my web site. You’ll be able to purchase the book from my web site or from www.AccidentalCure.com in the spring of 2010. Beware and be warned! To some, this book will seem like it’s just full of crock pot ideas on alternative/complementary medicine. To others, it feels like a sigh of relief, an accidental discovery of an oasis in a desert.

Dr. Simon Yu, M.D. is a Board Certified Internist. He practices Internal Medicine with an emphasis on Alternative Medicine to use the best each has to offer.

From American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy: Probiotics

Probiotics are rapidly becoming essential for life if we want to enjoy optimal health. This may be related to the excessive use of antibiotics in agriculture, but whatever the reasons are, this 16 page attachment may provide you with the science on this soon to be essential nutritional supplement.

This IS A MUST for any patients with autoimmune or allergy related issues, including acne, autism, asthma, Auto immune disease and even cancer and, of course, all GI related issues. Use probiotics whenever there could be food sensitivities present. We can expect to see better results when we recommend a proven effective and stable probiotic.

However, whether you are using Kyodophilus, which Longevity Plus is carrying, as it is stable without refrigeration, or some other Probiotic, the need to facilitate their benefits by lowering the number of pathogens or unhealthy flora is very important.

I like the PREBIOTIC function of Beyond Fiber because it is not just the perfect combination of soluble with insoluble fiber but because it has stabilized rice bran, one of the most nutrient dense foods and that helps eliminate toxins but it also includes a special artichoke component from Germany that helps sustain friendly flora so well that over 2 months or so, Candida has been shown to significantly regress.

Please when maximizing probiotic benefits also consider the proven benefits of zeolite and silver, as available in what is called Total Body Detox, the two bottle package from Longevity Plus. The silver is needed because in many patients, the overgrowth of unhealthy flora is preventing implantation of friendly flora, so they need to be eliminated. Silver does that while the ACZ (Zeolite) component of Total Body Detox concurrently acts to neutralize many toxins, organic and inorganic. This permits restoration of a healthier gut flora and even improves immune functioning since the gut associated lymphoid tissue is
dramatically benefitted with this combined  probiotics/detox approach.

This current review of probiotics from MEDSCAPE may prove beneficial in helping educate your patients and staff to this new nutrient related need.

Kids Should Play in the Dirt

Linda’s comment:  This was true several years ago, but today it can be dangerous.  Yes children need to build immunities, BUT playing is pesticides, herbicides, Round-UP, etc., etc., can be VERY toxic for our children.  Look what happened in the Lake of the Ozark.  Children were playing in a very toxic creek and didn’t know it!!  Our rivers are dirty from toxic waste dumping, even our fish are becoming Frankenstein Fish, with many unable to lay eggs.  Our tap waters, river waters, creek waters are full of the drugs many folks take.  I live in Arizona and I have a friend that works for Game and Fish, and he tells me when they test the waters around the state, they find birth control, plaxil, antibiotics, etc., etc., etc.  The local water departments can not remove these drugs, so we play, bath, cook and drink this toxic water.

Dirt today can be dangerous.  Finding a good spa that can give us great mud baths is God sent.  But, to let our children enjoy the days we had as children is all but gone.  Just be careful when letting your children play in dirt and mud, as it could also be giving them new disease.  Who know?  Just be safe and do some research to find your own answers.

Hope for Autism Conference

Here is the link to an outstanding webinar on Autism where I was the moderator   https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/330944962.  Dr.  Renee Tocco has organized the PowerPoint with super efficiency and added graphics to many of the slides that will make this webinar very informative for patients where so much of this is news and, therefore, hard for them to comprehend when first presented.

This is a great group doing wonderful work in Autism. Please seriously look at their program and speakers, as I assure you if you get there you will be very glad you made the effort, as there is so much to learn and they have the total approach that I endorse.
