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.

A diet rich in fiber, particularly from whole grains, may cut risk of death from cardiovascular, infectious and respiratory diseases, according to a report that was published online in the Archives of Internal Medicine this week.

High Fructose Intake Correlated With High Blood Pressure

INFORMATION FROM INDUSTRY
When initial antihypertensive therapy isn’t enough…
What will your patients need from their next-add on?
Explore this treatment optionNovember 4, 2009 (San Diego, California) – High fructose consumption is independently associated with high blood pressure, according to findings presented here at Renal Week 2009: American Society of Nephrology 2009 Annual Meeting.

An analysis of data from more than 4500 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) showed that consuming 74 grams or more of fructose per day – equivalent to about 2.5 12-ounce cans of sugary soda – correlated significantly with blood pressure of at least 135/85 mm Hg; the relation grew stronger as blood pressure rose. The survey participants had no history of hypertension.

Fructose consumption, in the form of added sugar, has been rising in Western nations since the 1900s, and parallels the growing prevalence of hypertension, said lead investigator Diana I. Jalal, MD, assistant professor of renal medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Aurora.

To examine the relation between the 2, she and her colleagues used the NHANES data to evaluate median fructose intake from food high in added sugar, including bakery products, dairy desserts, chocolate and other candy, dried fruits, honeys, jams, jellies, syrups, and sugar-sweetened soft drinks. Soft drinks alone account for 33% to 40% of fructose consumption in the United States, Dr. Jalal noted.

Fresh fruits were excluded from the analysis because they contain ascorbate, antioxidants, and potassium, which counteract the effect of fructose, Dr. Jalal said during her presentation. Using responses on self-administered dietary questionnaires, the investigators calculated median fructose intake of the participants to be 74 g/day. They then studied the relation between fructose consumption and blood pressure, adjusting for demographics, physical activity, other dietary factors, cardiovascular risk factors, and findings on laboratory tests. Data from 4528 adults were included in the analysis.

Daily fructose consumption of 74 g or more was independently associated with a 28% increased risk for blood pressure of 135/85 mm Hg or higher, a 36% increased risk for blood pressure of140/90 mm Hg or higher, and an 87% increased risk for blood pressure of 160/100 mm Hg or higher.

The relation was seen only between systolic blood pressure and fructose intake, Dr. Jalal said. There was no correlation between fructose consumption and diastolic blood pressure.

“In subjects with no history of hypertension, there is an independent and significant graded association between high fructose intake and systolic blood pressure levels,” she concluded. The mechanism underlying the relation is unclear.

Among other variables, black ethnicity and waist circumference were significantly associated with higher levels of fructose intake, independent of calorie or carbohydrate consumption. Inverse correlations were seen for sodium and alcohol consumption and fructose. “It seems that people either like their alcohol or they like their sugar, and they like their salt or they like their sugar,” Dr. Jalal told Medscape Nephrology.

This study shows that “we must pay more attention to the nutritional needs of our patients,” said Talal Ikizler, MD, associate professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University, and medical director of the Vanderbilt University Outpatient Dialysis Unit in Nashville, Tennessee.

Nephrologists rarely catch patients at the early stages of renal disease, when risk factor modification might still be possible, explained Dr. Ikizler, who was not involved in this research. However, internists and other primary care physicians do have these opportunities. Whenever possible, patients should be “warned of the consequences of their dietary choices early on.”

Dr. Jalal and Dr. Ikizler have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.
