Detoxification & Zeolite

Linda comment’s:  I have been on the Dr Garry Gordon, DO, MD, MD(h) lifelong daily DETOX POTOCOL CALLED F.I.G.H.T. for over 2 years now….His power drink is only one part of FIGHT….This protocol gives you energy, reduces your total body burden of toxins And pathogens….It has helps dissolve BIOFILMS which is important with any disease, especially LYME DISEASE….please go to my blog atwww.lymebook.com/fight and listen to all 6 of the FIGHT protocols….each one is 60 min., BUT WORTH YOUR TIME….

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

This link is a great reminder about some basics that are needed for effective detoxing but this is never a simple one day visit to a spa. This is a LIFETIME PROGRAM. I really emphasize the point here that sweating is a great way for toxins to leave the body, and many will not start sweating very easily, but with time everyone can.

Everything works far better if you have your patients on ZEOGOLD and the four vital ingredients that make up my POWER DRINK. It is ESSENTIAL for long term success, and I would make it clear it needs to be taken daily for life! The four products are:
BioEn’R-G’y C, Beyond Fiber, MACA, and my Organic Green Drink. They are all combined in a 12 ounce cup and consumed at least once a day at a slightly heaping teaspoon of all of those ingredients.

But the magic is in the contents from one capsule of Zeogold, which makes all the difference with my detoxing program. Zeolite is required today for optimum health.

Excerpt:

Dr Mark Hyman

Can ‘detox’ really help me, or is it just a celebrity fad?

IT’S NOT A FAD. Detoxification is key to health. In fact, problems with detoxification is one of the roots of illness. The gut is one of the core systems in the body that must be working well for you to be healthy. If you feel lousy, it’s likely you’re toxic.

Most of us are toxic in some way but the good news is that you don’t need to go to a spa for help. Here are ten basic principles that you can start now.

1.Drink plenty of clean water, at least eight to ten glasses of filtered water a day.

Household products & women’s health problems

Linda’s comment: LISTEN-UP PEOPLE….I have been preaching this…..I have been on the lifelong daily detox for 2 years now….look at the FREE webinars on this sight on FIGHT….what you learn will save your life!!!

Dr. Gordon’s Comments: It bears repeating that we are all toxic but now this bright naturopathic doctor includes sources that most patients have never considered as contributing to their impaired health and even to breast cancer. Once patients see there is no escape they may be more compliant with the lifetime continual detoxification program I recommend including the use at least once a day of my “Power Drink” containing my Beyond Fiber, my Organic Green, BioEn’R-G’y C, and MACA.

A Naturopathic physician in Phoenix says household products may be linked to a number of women’s health conditions. 

Dr. Marianne Marchese says household products may be linked to a number of women’s health conditions, and she put those findings in her new book 8 Weeks to Women’s Wellness. 

According to her book , the average person can store hundreds of chemicals in the body. 

One of her patients Sarara Corva tells us she believes common household items may have contributed to her breast cancer. 

Beyond Fiber with comments by Linda, Dr. Gordon

Linda’s comments:  The Beyond Fiber in Dr Gordon’s drink is one of the best fibers I have every used.  I have tried many fibers, but the Beyond Fiber wins over all fibers on the market.   I will have to admit, his Power Drink is POWERFUL….in the beginning you will be visiting your bathroom, but trust me you will feel wonderful afterwards…..YESSSSSs, you will need to mix it with your favorite juice….I like mixing it with Mango, Peach or Pear…..Dr G is right, when you begin to feel what the MACA does for you, you will learn to drink it…..I have been on the FIGHT protocol for 2 years now and can tell you, IT WORKS….Those with chronic illness, the FIGHT protocol is a must…..I tell folks….just do it for 90 days, and stick to it.  You might find yourself pleasantly surprised.

My talk for IFIM in Chicago in June will be on “Advanced Detoxification for Infinite Health and Wellness”. I cannot achieve that goal without all forms of fiber but enhanced, as I make them with my “Power Drink”: Organic Greens, MACA, Beyond Fiber, and the one and only BioEn’R-G’y C, one slightly heaping tsp of each supplement in 10+ ounces of any
fluid. I like it with Pellegrino but tap water works fine too. Some of you will want to flavor their Power Drink with anything from mango, as seen in Vemma, or pomegranate juice. Most will not like the glucosinolate based MACA, as it is from the turnip family. But, if you learn what it does, you will do whatever is needed to make it palatable enough to use once or twice a day.

This is my way of preventing enterohepatic reuptake of toxins that start to move with oral or parenteral chelation or even zeolite but need to be ushered out of the body! I take this twice a day but I have to look healthy at 76 in order to lecture on advanced detoxification around the world. And now that I see what PEMF and Magnetico sleep does to raise my ATP levels so I my cells have the energy to assimilate nutrients and pour out toxins, I can tell you I am really getting younger and all of you can too.

Fiber is just the tip of the iceberg but it alone is reducing the risk of death from all causes. Imagine how healthy you can get if you amplify it with my Power Drink and the energy the body needs to push out intracellular toxins and assimilate the nutrient supplements we all take but may be seeing less and less results.  Then you too can start to feel, as fantastic as I feel all the time. Imagine what can be done when you amplify this detoxification effect!

Dr Yikyung Park, of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Rockville, Maryland, USA, and colleagues from NCI and AARP also found that dietary fiber was linked to a reduced risk of death from any cause over a nine-year period.

Maternal Nutrition & Other Issues Tied to Autism

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.

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. 

Fiber & Cardiovascular Health with Comments from Linda, Dr. Gordon

Linda’s comment:  This is all part of the FIGHT protocol…however, I do take other things added to this like a good probiotic, etc., etc., etc.

Dr. Gordon’s Comments: You are not taking enough fiber to keep your intestinal flora happy unless you are on Beyond Fiber. With the epidemic of food sensitivities today just consuming a great probiotic is not enough, as you must feed the new flora. I hope you will learn more about stabilized rice bran with artichoke and EDTA, as found in Beyond Fiber!

This has the ideal ratio of soluble to insoluble fiber, and since everyone on treat is detoxing heavy metals everyday of their life while on my FIGHT program please learn to stop enterohepatic reuptake of toxins!  You must have active detoxing fiber content in the intestine 24/7. I do that with my Power Drink and Zeolite. My Power Drink includes MACA, which is an ideal GLUCOSINOLATE, doing much more than broccoli does, as this also stabilizes hormone levels in men and women. It also includes Organic Greens, Beyond Fiber and BioEn’R-G’y C along with daily zeolite, ACZ to start then ZeoGold.

I hope you warn patients who are not responding to your programs that the devil is in the details. Without the above they risk just moving the heavy metals from the right eye to the left eye! 

There is no substitute for more fiber but this is not cellulose or psyllium, this is based on the most nutrient dense food you can find, Stabilized Rice Bran. This is providing Beta Sitosterol and nutrients like gamma oryzanol, octocosinol etc, as well as high levels of inositol and other B vitamins, as nutrients while acting to help toxins keep moving out of the body. My patients understand all this because they see the acne and bad skin clear up within weeks so they stay on the Power Drink and will not go without the added fiber.

Let’s remember TOXINS NEED TO BE ESCORTED all the way OUT OF THE BODY,  not just to the liver and then dumped into the intestine! With all the toxins I know I breath and consume daily I will not go more than 12 hours without a slightly heaping tsp of all the above in 12 ounces of fluid to keep me protected from a toxic world.

Excerpt:

Cardiovascular disease or heart disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins). There are several risk factors for cardiovascular disease that are essentially immutable. These are older age, male gender, and a family history of CVD. Additionally, three major risk factors identified include cigarette smoking, dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), and hypertension. Other identified factors associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease include physical inactivity, sleep problems, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, excessive intake of alcohol, thrombotic and fibrinolytic factors, elevated homocysteine levels, certain infections and inflammation, exogenously administered estrogens and androgens, certain psychosocial factors, increased fasting glucose. and frequency of migraines. The synergism of the presence of multiple risk factors must also be considered.

Dietary fiber is a general term that refers to a wide variety of compounds from plants that are resistant to the digestive enzymes produced by humans. Because dietary fiber is resistant to digestive enzymes, it is not broken down or absorbed, which means it does not provide calories or energy to the body. In general, high fiber diets are associated with significantly reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and all cause mortality. It is generally recommended that Americans should strive to achieve a total dietary fiber intake of 25 to 30 grams/day, which should preferentially come from foods, not supplements. However, dietary surveys indicate that dietary fiber intake among adults in the United States averages about 15 grams/day, or approximately half the recommended amount.

Dr. Gordon on his protocol for skin problems

From Garry Gordon, MD:

This PROTOCOL will dramatically improve almost any skin condition for any patient. Always think systemically; always deal with foods that are sensitizing the patient and toxins and infections that are not necessarily just skin infections.

Please get an atomizer from Longevity Plus and fill it 50/50 with Quinton Marine Plasma Hypertonic and ACS 200 and spray often. Alternate that with sprays from ACZ Nano, which if not responding we can make stronger by putting one ZeoGold cap in 2 ounces of good water, let it hydrate and draw off the top 10 cc or two tsp. Use that to “spike” the ACZ Nano after 10 cc have been used or put in water and drank but that way we have POWERFUL HEALING from the stronger Zeolite form in ZeoGold that I find even helps cancer lesions on the skin. 

When using Quinton always take at least 3-4 of the Isotonic orally to maximize effect but spraying it is amazing particularly with the help of the other suggestions. Get two atomizers to use up the 10 cc or simply drink the residual contents.

Longevity Plus also has the strongest topical Aloe Vera used in nursing homes by Carrasyn. Use that lightly on the skin, as it will dry and form a thin film helping the other spray applications become longer acting.

Always top off the program with MY INFECTION PROGRAM. Orally use 5 days of high dose Vit A, 300-500,000 units each day, and always use high dose Vit D, 5000 a day, and Immuni-T2, three bid, and use the ACS 200 orally, 1 ounce to start then 25 sprays tid, which is 1/2 ounce daily, for days or weeks depending on condition. 

But EVERYONE has to learn my FIGHT program and the oral program here will help skin recover by lowering total body burden of pathogens but all skin is an accessory detox organ so soak in tub with Beyond Clean (EDTA) and follow instructions on the jar to alternate with Epsom then vinegar, etc.

Always use my Power Drink (MACA, Beyond Fiber, BIOEN’R-G’Y C and Organic Green) with Beyond Chelation-Improved and ZeoGold, as I can show you that even lifetime disfiguring psoriasis or other impossible eczema etc will always respond to my FIGHT program. Always increase Omega 3 to 4 caps daily for a month in addition to the one cap in each BC-I packet but the primrose in those is essential too. The diet is tough, stop sensitizing foods; listen to my webinars on FOOD and FIGHT and SILVER to learn more.

Gut bacteria can cause autoimmune disease – with comments from Dr. Gordon

Gut bacteria may cause autoimmune disease. We have all known this for some time but here is more research getting into how it happens.

My FIGHT program assumes that thanks to Monsanto and their BT (BACILLUS THERINGENSIS, i.e. the promised pesticide effect that caused farmers to buy into genetic modification of our food supply) along with continual exposure to antibiotics in our food supply causes me to take Kyodophilus 9 strain cap every day. 

I also use my ACS 200 (Advanced Cellular Silver), which I know kills all fungi, molds, bacteria and virus so I always have to reimplant healthy bacteria a few hours later than my bid doses of ACS 200. I always feed the Kyodophilus organisms with Beyond Fiber, which includes stabilized rice bran (nature’s most nutrient dense food). It also has artichoke (FOS that causes too much gas), a fiber source of Lignans that helps provide the ideal mixture of soluble to insoluble fiber and long chain saccharides that helps support healthy intestinal flora and simultaneously helps drives out Candida continuously.

Excerpt:

The finding 
The trillions of microbes that reside in the human gut shape their host’s immune system—for better or for worse. In a mouse model of autoimmune arthritis, Diane Mathis from Harvard University and colleagues found that gut bacteria can provoke autoimmune disease in distant parts of the body—the joints.

The surprise 
When investigators raised transgenic mice (which develop the disease at 4 weeks of age) in germ-free conditions, the animals developed a milder version of the disease much later. Germ-free mice lack immune cells called T helper 17 cells (Th17), because these cells require the gut bacteria called segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) to properly develop. When Mathis blocked IL-17—secreted by Th17 cells—in the normally raised mouse model, disease progression was also attenuated.

The link 
Mathis and colleagues showed that after SFB induced the accumulation of Th17 cells in the gut, the immune cells traveled to the spleen, where they helped activate antibody-producing B cells. Since the B cells in this mouse model produced self-attacking antibodies that initiated arthritis, the presence of IL-17 acted like a catalyst, quickening the disease. Though more work remains, “it is not hard to imagine the clinical relevance,” write Rochelle Marie Hinman and Faculty Member John Cambier.

Epigenetics and Dr. Gordon’s commentary on Time Magazine Article

The cover of last week’s Time magazine is a pregnant woman and the cover story is about newly recognized facts about Epigenetics that reveals the lifelong influence on health of everyone from the 9 month intrauterine environment.

They report that the influence on heart disease, obesity, mental illness, IQ, etc is far greater than has ever been appreciated before. Now if you then go to Google and type in the words Ten Americans you will see a video paid for by concerned citizens atwww.ewg.org that measured and levels of neurotoxins, carcinogens and endocrine disruptors in ten babies selected at random for across the USA. There were none that were clean.  Everyone averages 6 times the levels of these toxins that are present in the parents. This should make you really want to study what is optimal nutritional support for your pregnant patients and that to my thinking today that must include Beyond Chelation-Improved and Beyond B12, as you really want all three forms of folic acid if you want really healthy babies, as well as the DHA/EPA found in BC-I. We all need continual detoxification today to deal with the lead and mercury found in everything tested today.

But this new article strongly suggests you learn why I love Beyond Fiber. First of all no one should ever be on any serious detox program without this fiber to trap all toxins that the liver dumps into the intestine and prevent enterohepatic uptake of the very toxins you are hoping to clear out. But in addition the main source of this unique fiber product, which also has artichoke and EDTA, is STABILIZED RICE BRAN, which is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. It includes liberal amounts of B vitamins including Inositol, which we find in this report offers addition potential benefits to the rapidly growing fetus.

Time Magazine: “Fetal Origins: How the First Nine Months Shape the Rest of Your Life”, By Annie Murphy Paul Wednesday, Sep. 22, 2010 

http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2020815,00.html

Of course, no woman who is pregnant today can escape hearing the message that what she does affects her fetus. She hears it at doctor’s appointments, sees it in the pregnancy guidebooks: Do eat this, don’t drink that, be vigilant but never stressed. Expectant mothers could be forgiven for feeling that pregnancy is just a nine-month slog, full of guilt and devoid of pleasure, and this research threatened to add to the burden. 

But the scientists I met weren’t full of dire warnings but of the excitement of discovery — and the hope that their discoveries would make a positive difference. Research on fetal origins is prompting a revolutionary shift in thinking about where human qualities come from and when they begin to develop. It’s turning pregnancy into a scientific frontier: the National Institutes of Health embarked last year on a multidecade study that will examine its subjects before they’re born. And it makes the womb a promising target for prevention, raising hopes of conquering public-health scourges like obesity and heart disease through interventions before birth. 

Folic acid/inositol combo may be better at preventing birth defects
By Richard Clarke
September 27, 2010

http://www.functionalingredientsmag.com/article/Europe/folic-acid-and-inositol-prevent-birth-defects.aspx

Folic acid supplements alone may not be the optimum way to prevent neural tube defects in babies, according to doctors in the U.K.

Toxicity and pregnancy, with Dr. Gordon’s comments

Our toxicity concerns during pregnancy will start to be of interest to many and there is no affordable answer that beats things like Total Body Detox, Beyond Fiber, BioEnrG-Y C, Organic Green powder and Beyond Chelation-Improved.

At Risk From the Womb
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: October 2, 2010

Some people think we’re shaped primarily by genes. Others believe that the environment we grow up in is most important. But now evidence is mounting that a third factor is also critical: our uterine environment before we’re even born. 

Researchers are finding indications that obesity, diabetes and mental illness among adults are all related in part to what happened in the womb decades earlier. 

One of the first careful studies in this field found that birth weight (a proxy for nutrition in the womb) helped predict whether an adult would suffer from heart disease half a century later. Scrawny babies were much more likely to suffer heart problems in middle age. 

That study, published in 1989, provoked skepticism at first. But now an array of research confirms that the fetal period is a crucial stage of development that affects physiology decades later. 

Perhaps the most striking finding is that a stressful uterine environment may be a mechanism that allows poverty to replicate itself generation after generation. Pregnant women in low-income areas tend to be more exposed to anxiety, depression, chemicals and toxins from car exhaust to pesticides, and they’re more likely to drink or smoke and less likely to take vitamin supplements, eat healthy food and get meticulous pre-natal care. 

The result is children who start life at a disadvantage — for kids facing stresses before birth appear to have lower educational attainment, lower incomes and worse health throughout their lives. If that’s true, then even early childhood education may be a bit late as a way to break the cycles of poverty.
