Dr. Gordon comments on Vulnerable Plaque and Heart Disease

Doctor Gordon’s Comments:

This is vital information; most bypass and stents are operating on the wrong lesions.

Vulnerable plaque is not identifiable at this point, yet is it the only one warranting attention. Most of the stents and bypass surgery are treating lesions that are little or no threat to the patient just like most of the prostate cancers being found would not have contributed to
the patient’s demise. And now we learn that most of the breast lesions discovered on mammograms also warranted nothing more than watch and waiting instead of the rush to surgery and chemo and radiation.

How can you practice advanced medicine and avoid these traps?

I have mentioned a multigated ECG from PREMIER HEART that really identifies significant coronary disease with a simple number. ZERO is what YOU want and that is what my report found. If your report is a SIX, you will in all probability have a significant “event” like a heart attack in less than a year. The equipment costs $35,000 and the test takes 15 minutes and each report costs $50, as you use a supercomputer to review this special advanced ECG.

Read the attached report and look at how bad our competitors are doing who will not learn about IV and oral chelation, Boluoke, Co Q, etc.

Three-year data from 700 patients in prospect announced last fall showed that about 20% of patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with stents and optimal medical therapy have at least one more major adverse cardiac event within three years, but that 12% of these patients’ events were caused by lesions other than the original nonculprit lesion.

I have no reported fatal or non fatal heart attacks when patients are on my total program. Of course, I use that to motivate my patients to really take my heart program seriously!

Of course, if they do then most if not all can overtime improve their score and in time get to the zero if they are willing to do all that I advocate. The same way the $1000 BioClip test shows whose vascular age is inappropriate for their age. You do not want to be 50 years old and have vascular age of a 70 year old person. Again we can routinely reverse that vascular age score or that heart risk score but patients need testing before they will go on any program that costs them money.

From Heartwire
Building Multimodality Pictures to Unlock the Secrets of Vulnerable Plaques
Reed Miller

June 24, 2010 (Hamburg, Germany) — Researchers are developing techniques combining intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) “virtual histology” (VH) with positron-emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) that they hope will someday predict which coronary plaques trigger MIs.

Dr Martin Bennett (Cambridge University, UK) discussed his group’s research into vulnerable plaque imaging here at the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) EAS 2010 Congress. “We know what a vulnerable plaque is–[it is characterized by] a loss of smooth-muscle cells, inflammation, platelet aggregation, expansion of lipid cores. But if we’re trying to detect these features with imaging, we need to focus on particular structural or functional components of those plaques that we can detect using noninvasive imaging techniques.”

IVUS VH, a technology developed by Volcano (San Diego, CA), analyzes ultrasound “backscatter” patterns to differentiate plaque constituents in IVUS coronary images. IVUS VH’s ability to identify fibrous tissue, fibrous fatty tissue, necrotic core, and dense calcification has been validated in postmortem studies with sensitivity and specificity up to 95% to 98%. By assigning different colors to different constituent materials in the vessel wall, IVUS VH can show the thin-cap fibrous atheromas, also known as vulnerable plaques.

Bennett and colleagues studied 200 patients with IVUS VH to see how the coronary substrate wall was different between patients with stable angina and unstable-angina patients. So far, the researchers have processed over 200 m worth of plaque, or about 750 plaques.

Detox and Stem Cells

Linda — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 04:30:04 +0000

Linda’s comment: Detox is a word thrown around today but many do not have a good understanding of the importance of the word. Some of you do “yearly” detox programs to cleanse your bodies BUT do you realize that once or twice a year of detox is NOT enough. I encourage all I know to find that continuous “daily” detox that you practice for a lifetime.

I found that lifelong daily detox when I began the FIGHT protocol for those who are suffering from autoimmune diseases. Does it work, YOU BET IT DOES!!! Many don’t realize that this nasty oil spill in the Gulf will effect them and their families in more ways than one. YES, our air is becoming more filthy from the fumes that are traveling from the Gulf coast area. The people who live in these areas need to begin the FIGHT program immediately.

As Dr Gordon mentions below in his article, it is a MUST that you clean up the bedrooms of your children, not just yourselves. A newborn baby is born with more toxins than I care to mention, then you bring them home to a toxic home. CLEAN UP YOUR HOMES…..Don’t burn candles UNLESS they are beeswax candles. I take beeswax candles and put some essential oils in them, then place them on cup warmers to melt them down…..you get nice smells for the areas of your home that you don’t sleep in.

I recently became a distributor for the Austin Air filters, (Welcome to Austin Air), that you can purchase through my 501 (c) 3 non-profit, for my on going fundraiser. If you are interested in purchasing a unit please contact me at LymeAngl@aol.com I have three of these units in my own home and have had them for over 5 years. Walking into my home is like walking into a “bubble”….. I strongly suggest that parents consider putting these units in their children’s bedrooms. The name of my non-profit is C.H.O.I.C.E. (Consumers of Healthcaare Options with Independence, Choice and Experience)…Your purchase becomes a tax write-off.

Getting back to our lifelong daily detox, do your research then research some more and read why the FIGHT protocol is essential to your health. It was designed for those with auto-immune diseases. For those living near the Gulf coast you must begin now, as your health is at risk. Don’t delay START today…..

Are you ready for your stem cell treatment yet? All of us know that there are exciting things happening around the world with stem cell research. All of should know that there are risks associated with the treatment, and that all too often, there seem to be no observable benefits.

I continue to point out that if you are bringing a new baby home, I hope all of you will first clean up the nursery and even remove lead from the painted walls, and even check the levels of outgassing of toxins from the carpets etc before you bring the baby into a suboptimal environment.

I have stressed that everyone should watch the two one hour specials from CNN.com/toxicamerica and then go to Google and search on Ten Americans and watch the video that EWG.ORG has made available showing the measurable level of toxins in everyone today.

Please click on this link and look at frequently asked questions so that you are better able to consult with patients about the benefit to risk ratio of their using stem cells to treat their condition.

Since everyone wants a magic bullet that takes away their symptoms, most will not bother to learn my FIGHT program and actually change their diet and really detox etc unless they learn that there are risks associated with stem cell therapy beyond the risk of paying that money and seeing little in the way of results.

I hope that more will first learn my FIGHT program and really do it intensively so that if they then still take stem cell therapy, they have optimized the potential that they will see lasting benefits. And, just like we can protect against some of the adverse effects of vaccines with high dose oral vitamin C, I feel that following my FIGHT program will also lower the potential for some of the adverse outcomes now starting to be reported. These may be from the inappropriate or premature use of stem cells in bodies that have not first been adequately prepared.

I hope that you understand that, for example, a heart transplant for a condition like idiopathic dilated hypertrophic myocardopathy can be associated with a mitochondrial disease. That means it would be very wise to first provide the essential nutrients like Carnitine, CO-Q, etc (my total heart program described in detail elsewhere), which often eliminates the need for the heart transplant in the first place.

However, that nutrient program in addition will maximize the potential that either a heart transplant or stem cell therapy can actually provide a lasting benefit. It is obvious that the heart transplant would fail if no one wakes up to the real diagnosis of mitochondrial disease and provides the specialized nutrients the patient really needs. Stem cells realistically need as much help as they can get too, like all the lead and mercury out first!

And, to learn even more, the announcement below lists the names of the leaders in the field and the topics being discussed. If you Google the names of any presenter on any topic you are interested in usually you will have instant access to useful information.

We have all heard about the extraordinary promise that stem cell research holds for the treatment of human diseases. Clinics all over the world claim to offer stem cell treatments for a wide variety of conditions. But are all of these treatments likely to be safe and effective?

The ISSCR (International Society for Stem Cell Research) provides information to help you evaluate these claims.
