Linda comment:  We must all wake up and address the chronic infections…..I love the FIGHT protocol and have been on it for 3 years…..IT ROCKS….go to my file on Webinars and watch all six webinars on the FIGHT protocol…..

WE ALL HAVE SOME CHRONIC INFECTIONS; now there is another major breakthrough to prove this.

My Fight program clearly is meant to help us educate our patients that achieving optimal health is a lifetime challenge. With increasing sophistication of lab sciences, we will find many more challenges in every one of my FIGHT categories but with the epidemic of people with chronic fatigue, you now have even more reason to want to learn about Oxidative therapies like OZONE/UVB/SILVER.

However, a unifying approach to enhance our bodies ability to deal with the multifactorial nature of any chronic disease should increase our interest in learning more about Energy medicine. This broad topic includes Homeopathy, Accupunture, Prayer, Microelectric Current therapy, Magnetic Healing, Oxygen, Hyperthermia and much of what is now called Alternative Medicine.

The exerpt below is just one line from the great overview of viral infections and XMRV that is found in Autism and Prostate Cancer and Chronic Fatigue. This area of research is all new this year but we can expect that someone will soon find many more fungi issues or parasites issues. Of course tying impaired health to our toxin load is just beginning to be seriously considered. Do not fail to look for a moment at this article, as when you tell patients they need to deal with the chronic infection component of their current symptom complex, many feel you are off the wall.

Unless they have heard of Candida or Chlamydia, or CMV, or Herpes, or Lyme, they are not attuned to the need to lower their total body burden of pathogens. No one needs to spend the money to chase down which of these infections they have, as no one will test negative for one or more of these infections if adequately tested. So testing for most patients is impractical except to get their attention as to why they must do something about the infection component of my FIGHT program if they are to achieve optimal health.

“XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) is strongly associated with chronic fatigue syndrome/ME. The earlier study published in the journal Science was a joint study by the Cleveland Clinic, the National Cancer Institute, and the Whittemore-Peterson Institute of the University of Nevada with Drs. Vincent Lombardi and Judy Mikovits as lead authors. Here the lead author of the NIH/Harvard/FDA study, Dr. Harvey Alter, noted in a press conference that he considered his study a confirmation of the earlier WPI study, even though they had detected different MLV-related viruses (MRVs), rather than only XMRV. There does seem to be a greater variety of MRVs in chronic fatigue syndrome/ME patients than first understood. The WPI’s original study also showed some evidence of additional MRVs.”

Linda’s comment:  This is an outstanding article on the success of the PEMF machine…OUTSTANDING results with our Autism kiddos too…..Some of the treatments are also FDA approved…..

MESSAGE FROM DR. GORDON:

Season’s Greetings!
I am pleased to bring to you an excellent report on PEMF entitled, “The Missing Link to Optimal Health: Recharge Your Life with Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy”, by Scott Forsgren. (see article here: http://gordonresearch.com/docs/PEMF_specialreport.pdf). Scott hosts an informative website and blog called BetterHealthGuy.com, and writes for the Public Health Alert and other publications on the topic of Lyme disease and related issues.
Magnetic therapy has been studied and documented throughout the centuries, from ancient times to the present. Magnets have long been believed to have healing powers associated with energy, muscle pain and stiffness. Today, scientific research in the U.S. and the world over is providing invaluable data on how magnetic fields can positively affect the nervous and circulatory systems, as well as every living cell – animal, human and plant.
PEMF therapy received FDA clearance in 1982 to promote the healing of bone fractures. It also has a proven track record in treating many of the conditions we encounter today, including incontinence, diabetic neuropathy, muscle weakness, impaired bone health and vascular issues including gangrene where scheduled amputations are no longer needed. The U.S. company that makes the PEMF device (PMT-100AT) that I treat with and use personally on a daily basis, has literally given me a new back! After more than 20 years of chronic back pain and problems, I can now move around and stand up straight without pain! (Go to www.pulse4life.com to view more amazing testimonials on Autism, Parkinson’s, MS, ALS, etc.).
I have experienced amazing results through the combination of my F.I.G.H.T. For Your Health program, and the latest developments in PEMF and other energy medicine modalities such as Tesla-based electro muscle stimulation, low level lasers, and correctly designed magnetic sleep pads. I invite you to read the report from Scott Forsgren and begin to learn how PEMF can help you recharge your life and achieve optimal health and longevity!

(2004) I am a member of the Chelation Discussion Group, headed by the guru of Chelation therapy, Garry Gordon, M.D., D.O. It may have well over 2000 health professional members now on a worldwide basis. The theme seems to be primarily questions answered by Dr. Gordon as well as astute contributions from the members. Well, there is a tremendous number of communications per week. I used to print them all out and save them, but now I have decided to record the essence of many of the teachings in my brain.

Linda’s Comments: This destroys the “expert” standing of so many autism so-called experts so do not expect overnight acceptance of the environment causation, which to anyone not involved in genetic research will find is clearly the logical explanation for not just autism but the fact that in USA one in four in school today are on drug therapy for some condition, diebetes, asthma, mental issues including depression adhd, obsessive compulsive and so on. 

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

This is a bombshell! Autism genetic causation with millions of dollars invested in this wrong direction is all but dead when the world reads the attached in-depth report.

Of course, erroneous ideas hang around in medicine for years, as there is so much money involved in sticking with out-moded concepts. This destroys the “expert” standing of so many autism so-called experts so do not expect overnight acceptance of the environment causation, which to anyone not involved in genetic research will find is clearly the logical explanation for not just autism but the fact that in USA one in four in school today are on drug therapy for some condition, diebetes, asthma, mental issues including depression adhd, obsessive compulsive and so on. 

This latest large study moves the pendulum away from genetic causation back to environment!! This study is carefully reported here in all detail so if you are involved in autism please read the attached in its entirety, as there are important details you will want to express accurately if you are advising patients or teaching.

I have always known that what Andrew Wakefield reported on, see his website and book Callous Disregard, had merit (IE MMR triggered autism in what had seemed to be normal children up until then). I have dealt with many of these families and attended numerous conferences

However, things are not always simple A + B = C and Thiomersal may not be acting alone and there are these Epigenetic issues we know are happening when substances like Bisphenol A impair methylation, as Randy Jirtle at Duke has documented in Agouti mice. Then the issue becomes one of what are the contributing environmental toxins and they may well vary from case to case. Then when you try to study which nutrient deficiencies are contributing to the autism spectrum, you have issue including D, Magnesium etc and now issues around the need for methylation support in order to better handle the load of toxins found in every child’s cord blood (see Ten Americans at www.ewg.org). 

Then the bomb shell of cerebral folate deficiency now reported in NEJM last week where we find that some antigen is blocking the folate receptors in brain and the only hint of nutrient deficiency was documented only in cerebral spinal fluid. Now we have many potential culprits for this new autoimmune disease of the folate receptor – milk protein or whatever you want to implicate to help explain why the folate receptor in brain are blocked and cannot take up folic acid unless in the form of Folinic acid or 5′MTHF and apparently needed by some in significant orthomolecular levels.

Now we have the time line of events and a turning point in the disease was 1988, which we now find is when vaccine manufacturers turned away from egg and incorporated aborted fetal tissue for vaccine production. 

WILL someone ever make sense of all this so that we can stop this epidemic? 

I vote for anyone wanting a healthy baby to start a one or two year aggressive detox program for prospective mom and dad along the lines I advocate with oral chelation including my Power Drink with ZeoGold added along with regular exercise and some sauna exposure to enhance sweating, as a minimum.

Then hopefully start a boycott of all vaccines made on aborted fetal tissue that includes 24 of them today. That would be nice but since that in some countries is met with jail terms and a gun pointed at the prospective recipient of the vaccine, maybe we have to settle for now with trying to decrease the number of adverse outcomes by at minimum using aggressive Vitamin C based oral program. That means using a minimum of one gram per 10# of weight or roughly for year of age, as one program to try to diminish the clear risk I see in associated with current vaccine use in a world population whose immune system is compromised from birth with over 220 known toxins including an average of over 1000 times more lead in tissues than was present 700 years ago (see Cal Tech, Clair Patterson).

Excerpt:

For over two decades now, so-called “autism experts” have been claiming that autism is more than 90% caused by genes. The influence of these claims on autism policy and research funding is hard to overstate. But few realize that the basis of these claims hangs on a fragile evidence base: two small twin studies–one from Great Britain, the other from Scandinavia–that reported high rates of concordance for autism among identical twins and no concordance at all among fraternal twins. Last week, the largest and most rigorous twin study ever conducted, the California Autism Twin Study (CATS) reported contradictory new evidence that struck a devastating blow to these claims. The CATS identical twins had lower and the fraternal twins higher concordance rates than past studies, a striking finding that suggests that instead of being highly heritable, the vast majority of autism cases stem from environmental causes.

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’s comment:  For years Dr Gordon has said that if you are going to plan a pregnancy, then it is a MUST to go on a good detox protocol.  The unborn fetus is considered the toxic dump for the mom.  When a mom eats the wrong foods, or eats foods with pesticides/herbicides, etc., etc. etc., it all goes to the unborn fetus.

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Maternal nutrition ties to autism?  My plan for healthy babies takes on a new sense of urgency with this latest research!! Please read if you have anyone that might go through a pregnancy this year; they need to know this.

This new study about children born less than 1 year after the last child having three times the incidence of autism suggests to me that maternal nutrition is compromised after one child. The second pregnancy following too closely does not give the needed time to
replete nutrients lost during the last pregnancy.

I point out that all planned pregnancies ideally need to be preceded by ideally a year of detoxification. But, now we can see that also we need to build expectant mothers up nutritionally with far higher levels of nutrients found in today’s totally outmoded prenatal supplement formulas.

Just more vitamin D alone would reduce this tragic incidence of autism. My preferred prenatal is Beyond Chelation Improved, as that way we also get the essential fatty acids and the total spectrum of useful minerals while gently chelating out toxins with things like garlic and dl methione and oral EDTA, which alone has 507 references about its efficacy in lowering lead levels even in occupationally exposed workers on mywww.gordonresearch.com website.

Ideally I always also recommend my “power drink” using organic greens and Beyond Fiber and Maca and BioEn’R-G’y C, one slightly heaping tsp of each in 10+ ounces of good mineralized water like Pellegrino. And, for those willing, add Quinton Marine Plasma to that program. Then you can expect to have the healthiest possible baby known as Quinton babies, as putting in ultra trace minerals found only in this sea water based nutrient mineral drink has been shown to save lives of very sick babies so let them get it from their mother while in-utero too.

Closely Spaced Pregnancies Linked to Autism Risk 

By JENNIFER CORBETT DOOREN 
WASHINGTON — Closely spaced pregnancies were associated with an increase in the odds of a second child being diagnosed with autism, according to a study involving California children.

The study, which the journal Pediatrics published online Monday, showed the sooner conceptions followed the prior birth of a sibling, the greater the likelihood of the second child having an autism diagnosis. 

The study looked at more than 660,000 second-born children in California between 1992 to 2002. The study measured the time the second child was conceived relative to the first child, and then looked at autism diagnosis of the second sibling. 

The study found that second children who were conceived less than 12 months after the first child’s birth were three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than children spaced further apart. Second children conceived less than two years after the first had almost twice the odds of receiving an autism diagnosis.

We would like to invite you and the NY Metro Area/East Coast patients and practitioners to come to a talk given by Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD in NYC.  

Detailed information about the upcoming NYC seminar on Autonomic Response Testing and the special evening talk ,”Healing Long Term Lyme Disease and other Chronic Infections without Antibiotics” is located on our website:www.klinghardtacadaemy.com.   Dr. Klinghardt is known for his complementary work with chronic illness world wide and teaches practitioners how to individualize protocols for Lyme disease, MS, Autism, Cancer and other chronic conditions related to toxicity and pathogens.  

We hope you and local LLMD’s and  interested individuals will attend this unique evening. 

Dr. Klinghardt is rarely on the East Coast, but will be teaching in NYC on Feb 10-13, 2011 at the Holiday Inn Midtown.  We hope you will pass  this information to your colleagues so the NY area practitioners have an opportunity to come see and experience this world wide shift toward individualized health care.  Our goal at the Academy is to equip medical practitioners with the tools necessary to become true medical healers and learn how to combat the growing epidemic of chronic illness. We also want to empower patients with knowledge and optional healing protocols that are affordable. We understand that there is no cookie cutter approach to lyme disease, so all we can learn to add to our arsenal of protocols can only be beneficial to all. 

Please call me with any questions.
warm regards,

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.
