LED light for Alzheimers?

Linda’s comment:   I have had training on the PEMF…..IT WORKS……yes it can make you herx, but the good is worth the herx. It is performing miracles with Autistic children…..make sure you watch all three of Dr Gordon’s webinars about PEMF….. www.gordonresearch.com   I have been working with Dr Gordon being trained on this machine….it is EXCELLENT….When a machine can turn on stem cells, it is something that needs attention paid to it…..Find a practitioner  in your area….if you can’t find one, contact me and I will find you one.…you can own a machine yourself, but the cost is prohibited for many, however, it is a machine that you need to find someone to treat you with…..Let me know if you need a practitioner in your area, who owns one of these machines OR if you have a healthcare practitioner who would like to own one….

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Light for Alzheimer’s?  Anything that improves circulation is now seen as having benefits for Alzheimer’s disease, why not PEMF too?

We have no shortage of suggestions that can do that including IV and Oral Chelation but now we find we can also benefit from including all forms of  Oxygen, not just HBO,  hyperthermia, even FIR saunas, all forms of  light, including  low level lasers,  and many forms of electricity  like the new one  approved for brain cancer. We also have seen great success with microcurrent devices and also with high voltage low amperage Tesla based electric muscle stimulation, as available from Renua Medical. 

Watch my three webinars on my website about PEMF or go to YouTube and see stories about dramatic successes with PEMF in Autism, Parkinson’s disease even Guillian Barre at www.pemf.us/info. Whatever you do should include effective PMT-100, as part of your treatment as PEMF is turning on stem cells too! Otherwise it could not heal old non-union fractures, as it is proven to do! So now it is treating depression  but it takes 6 weeks, which I believe is because that is the needed lead time to get meaningful stem cell production!  It took that long to give me a new back and better kidneys.

Could Light-Based Alzheimer’s Devices Be ‘The Next Big Thing’? 
Published: March 23, 2011

Not only is Alzheimer’s disease (AD) the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, it is also the only one in the top 10 that can’t be prevented, cured, or slowed, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Although treatments for the brain disease traditionally have been drug-based in the form of cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine, recent research indicates that AD symptoms may be alleviated through the use of light-based treatments. If further studies support these claims, could light-based AD treatments soon emerge as a lucrative new medical device market segment? Will light-based AD treatments be the ‘next big thing?’

Linda, Dr. Gordon, comment on vaccine article

Linda’s comments:  I have never and will never take any Flu shots, HPV or any vaccines ….I don’t buy into the scare tactics about how badly we need these toxic injections…..I don’t encourage ANYONE to either.
 
My kids didn’t get vaccines either….wait, my daughter got one shot and it made her so sick I said NO MORE…..in fact when one of your school mates got the mumps, measles, chickenpox I ran them over to play with these infected kids….yes they got their diseases, but only light cases, as I was poking vitamins/herbals in there….they got mega dosing of VitC….
Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

England says no point in giving flu vaccine to children under 5 but vested commercial interests hope to make it mandatory in USA under the health reform regulations. Flu shots for those under 5 are insanity. There is no documented benefit and the risks from learning disorders to asthma are increasingly being seen the longer we do follow up yet the commercial interests of those behind their intended mandatory vaccine movement are undaunted.

Also, could HPV vaccines lead to cervical disease in a 40 year old patient whose paps were always normal until she took the vaccine?

I just listed to a caller to NYU medical centers “DOCTOR RADIO” program on Sirius radio channel 114 and XM 119. She is going on 40 and was always normal on pap smears until she took the first of the HPV recommended three vaccinations. Now, for the first time in her life, she has an abnormal PAP. Experts agree that cervical cancer is nearly 100% due to HPV!  This woman did not have unprotected sex with a new partner but she received HPV, as a vaccine, which is being strongly promoted as the answer to eliminating cervical cancer for all sexually active young girls.  The guidelines for this patient are not yet finalized.

Of course the “experts” on the oncology program immediately assured her that there was no chance that her HPV vaccine could have lead to her unhealthy cervix yet they steadfastly agree that invariably cervical cancer is HPV!  

Read more here and try to stay on top of this for the sake of everyone!

According to Vaccine Truth:
“Perhaps the UK government has learnt their lesson. Instead of vaccination they have decided to bring back last year’s Swine Flu ads with the caption ‘Catch it, Bin it, Kill it’ … The message is the best way to combat the flu is a lesson in hygiene.”

Mercury & Alzheimer’s, with comments from Linda & Dr. Gordon

Linda’s comment:  I’m on the FIGHT protocol to reduce my total body burden of pathogens and toxins….I had 14 amalgams removed and it will take me years to get the mercury out of my bone, but I am into this protocol 2 years….IT ROCKS…

Dr. Gordon’s Comment:

New research is showing mercury as one of the contributors to Alzheimer’s even in low dose exposure as from dental amalgam fillings. The research was published Nov 15 in the Alzheimer’s Disease Journal.

This is  a quote: “Studies of low-dose human exposure, such as to dentists and their staff, show that exposure to mercury is significantly correlated with neurological or psychological harm, or both”

It will still take another decade or more before mainstream medicine will start to take detoxification of heavy metals serious. I hope you are getting your daily detox with something. I, of course, use ZeoGold, Beyond Fiber, Organic Greens and BioEn’R-G’y C and also I never go without the Essential Daily Defense, the chelating portion of the nine pills called Beyond Chelation Improved. I know what I have spent attending medical conferences around the world and at age 75 I cannot afford to lose any of the information I have acquired at great expense.

Excerpt:

In an article to be published in the November 15th issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers have found that mercury is likely to be one of the multiple causes of Alzheimer’s disease. Mercury is one of the most toxic natural substances. It poses a danger to humans and may lead to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. After a systematic review of existing experimental and clinical research literature, researchers associated with the Viadrina European University, the Samueli Institute (Virginia, USA), Northeastern University (Boston, MA, USA) and the University Hospital Freiburg found that the symptoms and features of Alzheimer’s disease were reproduced or accelerated when mercury was introduced. 

Mercury binds tightly to selenium, a naturally occurring metal found in our diet that is important for good health. Proteins associated with selenium form a class of molecules that help prevent damage due to oxidative stress, which is the stress that occurs when metabolism takes place. Oxidative stress leads to cell death and thus aging. When mercury binds to selenium, this process may be accelerated, as are other degenerative processes in the brain. 

The experimental research literature indicates that animal and cell models reproduce all the features of Alzheimer’s disease when mercury is given. For instance, one of the more widely known uses of mercury is in amalgam dental fillings, the most common type of fillings used by dentists. Studies of low-dose human exposure, such as to dentists and their staff, show that exposure to mercury is significantly correlated with neurological or psychological harm, or both. 

Aspartame in All Soda?

Dear Harry,

I haven’t heard this although Dr. James Bowen once told me every once 
in awhile they add it in some markets to see if people an tell.  Dr. 
Bowen has ALS from aspartame and like most aspartame victims is 
chemically hypersensitive for life.  An aspartame victim can always 
tell when aspartame is in a product, labeled or not.

The problem is the manufacturers know aspartame is addictive.  Like 
in the case of Mars I called them and asked if aspartame were in 
their products and they told me “yes, in Mars Bars”.  I said, “But 
its not labeled,” and they said, its under natural flavors.  I tried 
one and sure enough immediately got a headache. Continued

Truvia Reactions

Excerpt:

Dear Sherrel,

Thank you for your note.  As I told you by phone we have been getting 
quite a few reactions from Truvia.  Pure stevia is fine but Truvia is 
made by Coke, and has chemicals.  It is sweetened with Erythritol and 
has added an ingredient of stevia only.  In fact, I did an expose on 
it which was shown in France.   You can be sure if Coke and Pepsi 
have anything to do with sweeteners we have no way of assuring 
safety.  Here is an email I wrote about 
it:  http://www.mpwhi.com/health_problems_and_truvia.htm and an 
investigation by Arthur Evangelista who use to work for the FDA.

Also, what worries me is aspartame and MSG are hidden in artificial 
and natural flavors.  As a heart patient you have  to be absolutely 
sure you never get aspartame.  It even damages the cardiac conduction 
system and causes sudden death: 
http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_and_arrhythmias.htm and 
http://www.wnho.net/aspartame_msg_scd.htm  They know that aspartame 
is addictive and sells lots of pop.  So unless somebody analyzes 
Truvia we have no idea what is causing people to have all these 
reactions from it.  The reactions you describe are exactly like 
aspartame which causes chemical hypersensitization.  One man got off 
it and got well, and then later was given a cookie sweetened with 
aspartame and had tachycardia, fast heart rate, so bad they had to 
stop his heart to save his life.

I would stay away from artificial sweeteners.  Just Like Sugar is 
okay because its food and not additives, just chicory used 70 years 
to improve the health of diabetics.  There have been no reactions to 
it or complaints.  Stevia that you get from a health food store is 
fine as long as it does not  contain additives.  In Brazil they even 
add aspartame to it.  Until aspartame is removed from planet earth we 
can’t be sure where its hidden.  Somebody needs to analyze Truvia 
because there are far too many complaints.  I’m glad you have not 
knowingly used aspartame.  Below my signature is the Aspartame 
Resource Guide with detox and other information.  The knowledge will 
prove useful to you.  The detox is very helpful.

Ending the Food Fight: Guide Your Child to a Healthy Weight

Obesity is the issue but how to personalize your approach may be as easy as getting a GTT with insulin measurements and those that are high insulin secretors go on low glycemic food diet.

This book by David Ludwig is $10.17 and is endorsed by the who’s who in real science of nutrition like Walter Willett so is worth getting. Consider letting Amazon send you the book by Ludwig on ENDING THE FOOD FIGHT.

Then enjoy the rest of the information here from Dr Mark Hyman by going to this link at bottom. 

Of course, you might also want to go to www.ilgenetics.com and do the gene test to see how that correlates since they documented twice the weight loss on the same calorie intake when you use their test to determine who must be primarily plant based I.E. Pritikin and who does better on the Atkin’s approach.

Excerpt:

Despite the common observation that obesity runs in families, genetic research shows that the habits you inherit from your family are more important than the genes you inherit. Obesity genes account for only five percent of all weight problems. Then, we have to wonder, what causes the other 95 percent of weight problems? 

We are seeing an epidemic of obesity in America today. It is the single most important public health issue facing us. If genes do not account for obesity, perhaps it is our high-fat diet that is to blame. That has been the common belief in our society since nutritional low fat guidelines were pushed upon us in the 1970’s. It seems logical that eating fat makes you fat. Fat contains nine calories per gram, so it would seem that eating more fat (and more calories) would make you gain weight. But that’s not what the science reveals.
Pioneering research by Harvard Medical School’s David Ludwig reveals the reason that low-fat diets do not work — and identifies the true cause of obesity for most Americans. Dr. Ludwig’s research explains the real reasons 70 percent of Americans are overweight. In the 1980’s not one state had an obesity rate over 20 percent. In 2010, ONLY one state has an obesity rate UNDER 20 percent. This is not a genetic problem.

What the Research Tells Us about Dietary Fat
In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (i) Dr. Ludwig correctly points out that careful review of all the studies on dietary fat and body fat — such as those done by Dr. Walter Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health — have shown that dietary fat is not a major determinant of body fat. 

Let me repeat that. Dietary fat is not a major determinant of body fat.
The Women’s Health Initiative, which is the largest clinical trial of diet and body weight, found that 50,000 women on low-fat diets had no significant weight loss. Yet another study looked at people who followed four different diets for 12 months — and found no dramatic differences between those who followed low-fat, low-carb and very- low-carb diets. 
The question then is, why aren’t we seeing any significant effects or differences from these various diets? The main reason, Dr. Ludwig suggests, is that we are looking for answers in the wrong place.

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

Neuroinflammation in Lyme neuroborreliosis & Amyloid Metabolism

Full article: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&id=20569437&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks

Excerpt:

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The metabolism of amyloid precursor protein
(APP) and beta-amyloid (Abeta) is widely studied in Alzheimer’s
disease, where Abeta deposition and plaque development are
essential components of the pathogenesis.
However, the physiological role of amyloid in the adult nervous
system remains largely unknown. We have previously found altered
cerebral amyloid metabolism in other neuroinflammatory
conditions. To further elucidate this, we investigated amyloid
metabolism in patients with Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB).

METHODS: The
first part of the study was a cross-sectional cohort study in 61
patients with acute facial palsy (19 with LNB and 42 with
idiopathic facial paresis, Bell’s
palsy) and 22 healthy controls. CSF was analysed for the
beta-amyloid peptides Abeta38, Abeta40 and Abeta42, and the
amyloid precursor protein (APP) isoforms alpha-sAPP and
beta-sAPP. CSF total-tau (T-tau), phosphorylated tau (P-tau) and
neurofilament protein (NFL) were measured to monitor neural cell
damage. The second part of the study was a prospective
cohort-study in 26 LNB patients undergoing consecutive lumbar
punctures before and after antibiotic treatment to study
time-dependent dynamics of the biomarkers.

RESULTS: In the cross-sectional
study, LNB patients had lower levels of CSF alpha-sAPP, beta-sAPP
and P-tau, and higher levels of CSF NFL than healthy controls and
patients with Bell’s palsy.
In the prospective study, LNB patients had low levels of CSF
alpha-sAPP, beta-sAPP and P-tau at baseline, which all increased
towards normal at follow-up.
