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,

If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning – once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. It’s our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.

NOTE:  If you have Lyme disease DO NOT DONATE…..

 Members and Friends
The courage the Jemsek family has shown facing life’s hurdles has given us a example of how to deal with our own adversities.  As they face renewed challenges, it is time for us all to reach out and do what we can to support them in their hour of need.
 
Please read this letter from Dr. Jemsek to the Lyme Community.  While Lyme patients cannot be direct donors, we can ask our healthy friends, family members and neighbors to consider this humanitarian request for a fine family that needs our support.  Please recirculate this message widely and as quickly as possible. 
 
Thank you,
NatCapLyme
 
Dear patients, friends, and family,

          My wife Kay and I are writing to you today to make a somber request on behalf of our six year old daughter, Jordan.  As most of you may already know, last September 2009 Jordan was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). She received outstanding  care during several rounds of extended chemotherapy while hospitalized for 6 ½ months at Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte at the Hemby Cancer center.  When Jordan was declared in remission  we were finally able to bring  her home on Easter day this Spring.  After several joyful months at home with Jordan, this past week we were devastated to learn that Jordan has relapsed. In the upcoming weeks, she will begin receiving chemotherapy in preparation for a bone marrow transplant that she will have later this winter.

          Last year, after much research aided by the excellent support of the Hemby physicians in Charlotte and the Pediatric Oncology Department at Children’s Hospital in Washington, DC,  we were already exploring the option for Jordan to have a bone marrow transplant in the event that the chemotherapy was ineffective.  Unfortunately, neither members of her family, nor those in the national donor registry provided a satisfactory match.  Unfortunately, at this time we are left without another option and must proceed with a bone marrow transplant for Jordan to survive.  We anticipate that the transplant will occur in March/April 2011 at Children’s Hospital in DC after Jordan undergoes an estimated 3 months of induction chemotherapy at the Hemby Center; she is on her way to the hospital with us today.   In order to increase the likelihood that we find a better match for Jordan, we are asking friends and family to participate in joining the National Marrow Donor Program. Because patients are most likely to match someone of their own race or ethnicity, please be aware that Jordan comes from a Scottish, Irish, and Ukrainian background. We have outlined the simple steps below in how one can get signed up to be part of this registry.

          For all of our patients and others suffering from  Lyme Borreliosis Complex, the highly disturbing irony is that the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) does recognize chronic Lyme disease while the general community does not. As part of the NMDP medical guidelines, patients with  ‘chronic Lyme disease ‘ may not register (details on the linked site below).  However, we would humbly request that those individuals struggling with Lyme Borreliosis encourage other family members and friends to consider joining the registry.

          As for those of you wanting to be tested specifically as a match for Jordan, i.e. a designated donation, due to the complicated process and cost of being tested privately, we instead recommend and request that you enter the general registry. We greatly appreciate all of the prayers and overwhelming support that our family has received, and we ask for you all to continue to pray as we continue on our journey towards Jordan’s recovery from this devastating disease. If you have questions, please contact Elizabeth Ballas at mailto:eballas@jemsekspecialty.com?subject=Jordan Jemsek.   As before, regular updates will be posted to http://www.caringbridge.org/ under keyword jordanjemsek.
 
God Bless,

Dr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Jemsek

This is all fact; Dr Simone is the real thing! It’s almost unheard of, an oncologist who works with the body. The attorney writing this our friend, yours and mine, as he regularly beats FDA when they try to take away all of our supplements.  

These are our kind of heroes.

Excerpt:

Experienced physicians have used massive amounts of vitamin C and other nutrients in treating an astonishing and nearly unbelievable variety of conditions. “Many physicians refuse to employ Vitamin C in the amounts suggested,” writes Dr. Klenner, “simply because it is counter to their fixed ideas of what is reasonable. There is no doubt that physicians are being brainwashed with the current journal advertising. I have never seen a patient that Vitamin C would not benefit.”

Dr. Klenner was board certified in diseases of the chest. The Shutes, in obstetrics. Dr. Cathcart, in orthopedic surgery. Dr. Smith, in pediatrics. Dr. Riordan, in psychiatry. Dr. Cameron, in surgery.

What you will learn from the documents above may be a good start, but it is only a start. We recommend that you read extensively and then discuss these physicians’ experience with your doctor before making any health decision.

Synthetic sex hormones (Environmental Estrogens) are contaminating our food!  Now you will know why it is so hard to get your patients well without an all organic diet and my detox program. The link to the news broadcast below will shock you.  For instance, did you know…

Bisphenol A is found in most plastic food containers today. Not only is it found in plastic containers, but also in the lining of most cans. BPA is essentially a synthetic estrogen that enters the body when one consumes food or beverages out of plastic or plastic-lined containers. This is not only harmful to the male reproductive system, but has been found to also stimulate breast cancer growth in women. Knowing this, it should be of no surprise that the sperm count of the average Western male is on a steady decline as many males are becoming more and more feminine. What most people don’t know is that Bisphenol A was actually considered as the form of estrogen to be used in estrogen pills going back to the 1930s.

Everyone should detox regularly and continually on a daily basis.  Everyone needs my F.I.G.H.T. program! It is not just the Lead and Mercury; it is toxins like Bisphenol A but most people have no idea how they get these toxins!  Bisphenol A is what made all the lean brown Agouti mice turn yellow and become obese and diabetic for all time in Randy Jirtle’s  research (Duke) covered by PBS (Nova) as “Ghost In Your Genes” that causes the epigenetic change overnight.

There is defective methylation to handle all toxins, which is why BIOEN’R-G’Y C comes with Trimethylglycine and Methylsulfonomethane, as a true vitamin C delivery system to help fight this Bisphenol A toxin induced need for more methylation support. So get sublingual Beyond B12 and have methyl cobalamin delivered sublingually instead of having to give B12 IM, as oral B12 is about 1-2 % absorbed and we must help our loved ones and patients F.I.G.H.T. back.

Everyone has 10,000 times more phthalates today than was present just 10 years ago. Watch this video and then watch it again and learn my F.I.G.H.T. program, as you and your patients need to feel as good as I do and I know how toxic you are unless you are using my power drink and zeolite!

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.

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.

Excerpt:

A new study led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen has confirmed that vitamin D plays an important role in activating immune defenses against infectious diseases like flu.

Vitamin D deficiency has already been linked to a wide spectrum of diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, autoimmune disease and many others.

The study published in the latest edition of Nature Immunology discovers that activation of T-cells to fight infections needs definite help from vitamin D.

Carsten Geisler and colleagues, study authors, explained the role vitamin D plays in the immune responses as follows.

First when the naive T cell recognizes foreign invaders like bacteria or viruses with T cell receptor (TCR), it sends activating signals (1) to the vitamin D receptor gene. The VDR gene then starts producing DVR protein, which binds vitamin D in the T cell (3) and becomes activated. Then the vitamin D bound and activated DVR gets into the cell nucleus and activates the gene for PLC-gamma1 (5), which in turn produces PLC-gamma1 protein (6) and “the T cells can get started”.

Excerpt:

Some carcinogens you already know and fear: cigarettes, asbestos, smoked meat.

But what about the ones you’ve never even heard of? That’s the crux of a new report from theAmerican Cancer Society (ACS), which rounds up 20 “suspected carcinogens” the organization would like to see studied more extensively.

Of course, that research, if it happens, will come after the chemicals, ingredients — and even lifestyle choices — are already embedded into the bedrock of our 24/7 economy.

“The objectives of this report are to identify research gaps and needs for 20 agents prioritized for review based on evidence of widespread human exposures and potential carcinogenicity in animals or humans,” Elizabeth Ward, the co-author of the report, said. 

So just what are these potential cancer causers lurking in our everyday environs? Surge Desk runs down five (not so awesome) favorites.

1. Styrene

Styrene, and its chemical compound colleague styrene-7,-8-oxide, threaten to be a stoner’s worst nightmare. Although only weakly linked to cancer in humans, there’s enough evidence in animal studies to earn the compounds a spot in the top 20.

Where will you find it? Cigarettes, marijuana and leeching into your midnight munchies via foam food packaging. 

How can you avoid it? If you eat, this is one urine test you’re doomed to fail. Styrene was detected in the urine of 87 percent of study participants during a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention trial last year.  

Linda’s comments……I often wonder if some of the Cancers I had were not caused from all the chemo-drugs I handled….during the 60′s.  Osha did not have rules about having a hood for vapors in our Cancer clinics….When my immune took a dive and the Lyme moved in, is when the Cancers began to appear…..God Blessed me with the knowledge to move from allopathic medicine to the holistic/alternative world.  Holistic/Alternative medicine has saved my life on many occasions with the blessing from God.  This is an excellent article to show you how toxic the chemo drugs are and that there ARE alternatives….So much of the chemo drugs also cause many side effects and people die from the sides rather than the Cancers.

One of the side effects of chemotherapy is, ironically, cancer. The cancer doctors don’t say much about it, but it’s printed right on the chemo drug warning labels (in small print, of course). If you go into a cancer treatment clinic with one type of cancer, and you allow yourself to be injected with chemotherapy chemicals, you will often develop a second type of cancer as a result. Your oncologist will often claim to have successfully treated your first cancer even while you develop a second or third cancer directly caused by the chemo used to treat the original cancer.

There’s nothing like cancer-causing chemotherapy to boost repeat business, huh?

During all this, the pharmacists are peddling these toxic chemotherapy chemicals to their customers as if they were medicine (which they aren’t). While preparing these toxic chemical prescriptions, it turns out that pharmacists are exposing themselves to cancer-causing chemotherapy agents in the process. And because of that, pharmacists are giving themselves cancer… and they’re dying from it.

Why pharmacists are dying of cancer

People who live in glass houses should never throw stones, they say. And you might similarly say that pharmacists who deal in poison shouldn’t be surprised to one day discover they are killing themselves with it.
