Linda’s comment:  Dr Gordon is a brilliant doctor and I have learn over the last 15 years, what he says is right…..I have been on his FIGHT protocol for 2 years now and IT WORKS….there are many that show signs of Lyme Parkinson, Lyme MS, Lyme ALS, Lyme Lupus, Lyme Fibromyalgia….if the would start focusing on reducing their total body burden of pathogens and toxins, their symptoms will begin to GO AWAY and by removing the heavy metals more quickly will make all the difference in the world….

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Here is proof that my FIGHT concept is on target! My treatment is the same for most chronic degenerative conditions. Infections are always part of the degenerative diseases we are fighting. Thus, for doctors that can learn to offer ultraviolet blood irradiation and/or ozone along with using large doses of the strongest proven silver product on the market, ACS 200, you are really lowering the total body burden of pathogens that is getting at the causes. With zeolite first use ACZ for three bottles then ZeoGold. You are then offering the best possible detoxing program particularly if used with my Power Drink (Maca, organic Green, Beyond Fiber and BioEn’R-G’y C).

Then using curcumin for effective inflammation lowering is needed for a time so use the best forms of curcumin like Meriva.

Remember we have documented that most people have CMV and it links to vascular disease and hypertension so we must always remember to lower the total body pathogen burden in addition to lowering the burden of all toxins. Use zeolite and chelation, etc. because everyone has heavy metals in excess no matter what test you use, as lead is always 1000 times too high in bone!

Then we all have flame retardants and Bisphenol A and other organic toxins that are all clearly linked to chronic diseases like Parkinson’s but your patients need a miracle now!  They cannot wait for the 15 years it takes for bones to remodel and slowly release bone lead. If they take oral chelation and zeolite for 15 years they will have lowered that toxic challenge but they need to function better today!

So learn PEMF and add it to your practice now, as doctors are reporting a big increase in their practices when they offer PEMF for an additional fee of $30-45 per ten minute treatment! Watch the Parkinson’s patient get up and move almost normally after one
such treatment. Go to www.pemf.us for details or www.pemf.us/info to watch YouTube videos with Guillian Barre getting out of wheel chair after 9 years and autism at age 18 speaking for first time. 

Of course that gives patients hope so they will stay with you and let you get them on a total FIGHT program. Download the 18 page review of my FIGHT program on my website and you will be helping patients more than any other approach, as you are treating causes. But with earth changes we now all suffer magnetic deficiency syndrome and leaving out PEMF means results will not be as dramatic, as they are when you do it all!

Watch webinars on PEMF on my www.gordonresearch.com website and treat more effectively any condition, acute or chronic, as the science is there to explain why!

‘Friendly fire’ may be at the root of Parkinson-like diseases

  By John Pastor • Published: May 16th, 2011

Scientists have suspected exposure to viruses and other environmental factors may trigger symptoms associated with Parkinson-like diseases, but why such exposure would actually destroy certain areas of the brain has been mysterious.

New research suggests a pathway located at the base of the brain that is essential for the execution of smooth, coordinated movements may be selectively damaged by the friendly fire of the body’s immune response, according to University of Florida and Mayo Clinic Florida scientists writing today in Nature Neuroscience.

Could oral Vitamin K-3 activate oral Vitamin C so efficiently that it could be a viable alternative to IV Vitamin C for seriously ill patients needing oxidative therapies? In Vitro research is very promising and I will present more on this topic for the ACAM oxidative workshop mid-April in Minneapolis that I am doing with Robert Rowen and others.

The Vitamin C:Vitamin K3 System – Enhancers and Inhibitors of the Anticancer Effect

Davis W. Lamson, MS, ND; Yu-Huan Gu, PhD; Steven M. Plaza, ND, LAc; Matthew S. Brignall, ND; Cathy A. Brinton, ND; Angela E. Sadlon, ND

Abstract
The oxidizing anticancer system of vitamin C and vitamin K3 (VC:VK3, producing hydrogen peroxide via superoxide) was combined individually with melatonin, curcumin, quercetin, or cholecalciferol (VD3) to determine interactions. Substrates were LNCaP and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines. Three of the tested antioxidants displayed differences in cell line cytotoxicity.

Melatonin combined with VC:VK3 quenched the oxidizing effect, while VC:VK3 applied 24 hours after melatonin showed no quenching. With increasing curcumin concentrations, an apparent combined effect of VC:VK3 and curcumin occurred in LNCaP cells, but not PC-3 cells. Quercetin alone was cytotoxic on both cell lines, but demonstrated an additional 50-percent cytotoxicity on PC-3 cells when combined with VC:VK3. VD3 was effective against both cell lines, with more effect on PC-3.

This effect was negated on LNCaP cells with the addition of VC:VK3. In conclusion, a natural antioxidant can enhance or decrease the cytotoxicity of an oxidizing anticancer system invitro, but generalizations about antioxidants cannot be made.

Blood clots kill and they make today’s focus on cholesterol looks badly misguided. Many natural approaches help and add Carnitine to that list. I recently attended the Nevada Homeopathic and Integrative Medicine conference in Reno.

L-Carnitine Plays a Role in Preventing Cardiovascular Disease.

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.

L-carnitine is an amino acid that is synthesized from the amino acids lysine and methionine. Because it can be synthesized in the body, L-carnitine is usually not considered to be an essential nutrient. However, it could be classified as an essential nutrient for premature infants and other individuals who are not able to synthesize it in sufficient amounts. In addition to its use in clinical conditions, L-carnitine is used with exercise programs to reduce muscle soreness.

A study published in the journal Renal Failure investigated the effects of L-carnitine on plasma coagulation and anticoagulation. The researchers enrolled thirty-six hemodialysis patients and the patients randomly received either 1000 mg a day L-carnitine or a placebo for 12 weeks. Blood was collected at the beginning of the trial and at the end to compare changes in plasma activity. The results were the L-carnitine group experienced significant reductions in serum C-reactive protein (marker for systemic inflammation) and plasma fibrinogen (an inflammation-related coagulator) in comparison to the placebo group. The authors stated “Therefore, l-carnitine may play an effective role in preventing cardiovascular diseases in these patients.”1

Cancer therapies should include high quality absorbable curcumin, as it provides the same effects as standard chemo does!

Excerpt:

Turmeric, derived from the plant Curcuma longa, is a gold-colored spice commonly used in the Indian subcontinent, not only for health care but also for the preservation of food and as a yellow dye for textiles. Curcumin, which gives the yellow color to turmeric, was first isolated almost two centuries ago, and its structure as diferuloylmethane was determined in 1910. Since the time of Ayurveda (1900 Bc) numerous therapeutic activities have been assigned to turmeric for a wide variety of diseases and conditions, including those of the skin, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal systems, aches, pains, wounds, sprains, and liver disorders. Extensive research within the last half century has proven that most of these activities, once associated with turmeric, are due to curcumin. Curcumin has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities and thus has a potential against various malignant diseases, diabetes, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic illnesses. These effects are mediated through the regulation of various transcription factors, growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, protein kinases, and other enzymes. Curcumin exhibits activities similar to recently discovered tumor necrosis factor blockers (e.g., HUMIRA, REMICADE, and ENBREL), a vascular endothelial cell growth factor blocker (e.g., AVASTIN), human epidermal growth factor receptor blockers (e.g., ERBITUX, ERLOTINIB, and GEFTINIB), and a HER2 blocker (e.g., HERCEPTIN). Considering the recent scientific bandwagon that multitargeted therapy is better than monotargeted therapy for most diseases, curcumin can be considered an ideal “Spice for Life”.
