Linda’s comments: We in the holistic/alternative world have known this for years….what this article has forgotten to bring to your attention is, YOU MUST EAT ORGANICALLY. Doesn’t do you any good eating fresh fruits that are laden with pesticides and herbicides and who knows what else. The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants to pat themselves on the back, but do you see where they WARN you about the GMO, pesticides/herbicides?? Hmmmmm….they can’t be this brainless can they? On the other hand could it be they don’t care and only care about their bottom-lines? They want to talk about “leading to brain disorders, heart disease and cancer, among other degenerative conditions” FAILING to tell you that you are in more danger eating GMO, pesticides/herbicides.
Yes, I ENCOURAGE all of you to eat healthy and NON-GMO. AND, YES, I will continue encourage you to eat organically without nasty pesticides And herbicides.
Excerpt:
Blueberries and strawberries may serve as a detox elixir for the brain and can help your aging mind stay sharp, new research shows.
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture say they’ve discovered the first solid evidence that the popular fruits, along with acai berries and walnuts, essentially cleanse the brain, activating what’s known as its “housekeeper” function and ridding it of toxic proteins.
Those proteins are the culprits to blame for age-related memory loss and other mental deterioration.
Study author Shibu Poulouse, who works for the USDA’s Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging in Boston, said the body’s ability to ward off inflammation and oxidative damage declines with age, which can lead to brain disorders, heart disease and cancer, among other degenerative conditions.

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.

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.

People will only see this headline and their compliance with restricting foods will plummet. You need to know your patients will not have time to read the entire article where food intolerances are explained and where the technical fact that food allergy involves IMMUNE mediated reactions.
This is a disservice to our efforts to help our patient’s health using my FIGHT program. I repeat that patients can do everything, drink best food, raise organic food picked ripe from balanced soil, exercise, detox, etc, and yet sabotage their results by ignoring the need to avoid certain foods. I admit that it is difficult to identify all food intolerances and no test is perfect. But, irresponsible reporting to sell newspapers where the full story is not told does serious disservice to the millions whose health is being adversely impacted by a food they lack the enzymes to metabolize, like lactose intolerance, which admittedly is not a food allergy but clearly is adversely affected the health of millions.

Doubt Is Cast on Many Reports of Food Allergies
By GINA KOLATA
Many who think they have food allergies actually do not.
A new report, commissioned by the federal government, finds the field is rife with poorly done studies, misdiagnoses and tests that can give misleading results.
While there is no doubt that people can be allergic to certain foods, with reproducible responses ranging from a rash to a severe life-threatening reaction, the true incidence of food allergies is only about 8 percent for children and less than 5 percent for adults, said Dr. Marc Riedl, an author of the new paper and an allergist and immunologist at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Yet about 30 percent of the population believe they have food allergies. And, Dr. Riedl said, about half the patients coming to his clinic because they had been told they had a food allergy did not really have one.
Dr. Riedl does not dismiss the seriousness of some people’s responses to foods. But, he says, “That accounts for a small percentage of what people term ‘food allergies.’ ”
Even people who had food allergies as children may not have them as adults. People often shed allergies, though no one knows why. And sometimes people develop food allergies as adults, again for unknown reasons.
For their report, Dr. Riedl and his colleagues reviewed all the papers they could find on food allergies published between January 1988 and September 2009 — more than 12,000 articles. In the end, only 72 met their criteria, which included having sufficient data for analysis and using more rigorous tests for allergic responses.
“Everyone has a different definition” of a food allergy, said Dr. Jennifer J. Schneider Chafen of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Palo Alto Health Care System in California and Stanford’s Center for Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research, who was the lead author of the new report. People who receive a diagnosis after one of the two tests most often used — pricking the skin and injecting a tiny amount of the suspect food and looking in blood for IgE antibodies, the type associated with allergies — have less than a 50 percent chance of actually having a food allergy, the investigators found.
One way to see such a reaction is with what is called a food challenge, giving people a suspect food disguised so they do not know if they are eating it or a placebo food. If the disguised food causes a reaction, the person has an allergy.
But in practice, most doctors are reluctant to use food challenges, Dr. Riedl said. They believe the test to be time consuming, and worry about asking people to consume a food, like peanuts, that can elicit a frightening response.
The paper, to be published Wednesday in The Journal of the American Medical Association, is part of a large project organized by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to try to impose order on the chaos of food allergy testing. An expert panel will provide guidelines defining food allergies and giving criteria to diagnose and manage patients. They hope to have a final draft by the end of June.
“We were approached as in a sense the honest broker who could get parties together to look at this question,” said Dr. Matthew J. Fenton, who oversees the guidelines project for the allergy institute.
Authors of the new report — and experts on the guidelines panel — say even accepted dogma, like the idea that breast-fed babies have fewer allergies or that babies should not eat certain foods like eggs for the first year of life, have little evidence behind them.
Part of the confusion is over what is a food allergy and what is a food intolerance, Dr. Fenton said. Allergies involve the immune system, while intolerances generally do not. For example, a headache from sulfites in wine is not a food allergy. It is an intolerance. The same is true for lactose intolerance, caused by the lack of an enzyme needed to digest sugar in milk.
And other medical conditions can make people think they have food allergies, Dr. Fenton said. For example, people sometimes interpret acid reflux symptoms after eating a particular food as an allergy.
The chairman of the guidelines project, Dr. Joshua Boyce, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard and an allergist and pediatric pulmonologist, said one of the biggest misconceptions some doctors and patients have is that a positive test for IgE antibodies to a food means a person is allergic to that food. It is not necessarily so, he said.
During development, he said, the immune system tends to react to certain food proteins, producing IgE antibodies. But, Dr. Boyce said, “these antibodies can be transient and even inconsequential.”
“There are plenty of individuals with IgE antibodies to various foods who don’t react to those foods at all,” Dr. Boyce said.
The higher the levels of IgE antibodies to a particular food, the greater the likelihood the person will react in an allergic way. But even then, the antibodies do not necessarily portend a severe reaction, Dr. Boyce said. Antibodies to some foods, like peanuts, are much more likely to produce a reaction than ones to other foods, like wheat or corn or rice. No one understands why.
The guidelines panel hopes its report will lead to new research as well as clarify the definition and testing for food allergies.
But for now, Dr. Fenton said, doctors should not use either the skin-prick test or the antibody test as the sole reason for thinking their patients have a food allergy.
“By themselves they are not sufficient,” Dr. Fenton said.

Are you sweating enough to really detox? Maybe you need this advanced program using a Far Infrared Sauna at least 8 hours minimum a day for a month or longer to really lower the total body toxin load we all carry today.
This link provides useful background information on some of the pollutants we all carry today and what are the illnesses that they cause.
Dr Gerald Ross MD has summarized key information about the HUBBARD DETOXIFICATION program successfully used now across the country.
This is a brief excerpt from this presentation:
“There are also growing concerns of the genetic damage caused by many of the pollutants with which the U.S. population is extensively contaminated. Some children now have a significantly higher risk of the development of cancer, due to DNA damage produced by pollutant chemical exposures, especially in early fetal growth before they were born.21-22
NATURAL AND ENHANCED DETOXIFICATION. The basic philosophy of attempting
to enhance human detoxification has been used for thousands of years.
Commonly-known examples are Roman and Turkish baths, Scandinavian
saunas, and North American native sweat lodges.”
I suggest that anyone doing serious detoxification add MANY other things from Homeopathic Drainage Remedies to Beyond Fiber, BioEn’R-G’y C, ZeoGold and, of course, oral chelators. All work better if you lower inflammation using a diet that better balances the seriously disturbed OMEGA 6/3 ratio in our diet today. But, always sweating will be beneficial although some skin conditions will first need to eliminate all foods and allergens that are contributing to their condition.

Excerpt:
• BACKGROUND: About 200 Utah SWAT, narcotics and undercover police officers were exposed to methamphetamine related chemicals during ‘Meth Lab raids’.
• EXPOSURE: Most officers had inadequate protection from these toxic chemicals.
• MAIN ISSUE: A substantial number of officers have developed serious health problems after these methamphetamine and related chemical exposures.
• LINK: Most of the affected officers have a similar cluster of symptoms.
• DEATHS: Several officers who were exposed to methamphetamine labs have died with cancers not common to this age group.
• PRECEDENT: The New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project has treated over 1000 heavily-exposed police and firefighters using the Hubbard Detoxification Protocol. Very positive health improvements have been published regarding this World Trade Center group and previous-published Hubbard detoxification programs.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) May 01 - Manifestations of Lyme carditis in children can range from asymptomatic first-degree heart block to fulminant myocarditis, physicians at Harvard Medical School report in the May issue of Pediatrics. Data from their case series indicate that older age, arthralgia, and cardiopulmonary symptoms were independent predictors of carditis in pediatric patients with early disseminated Lyme disease.

Linda’s comments: “Safe” lead levels????? What is that suppose to mean??? In my opinion there is NO safe lead levels., as I want it GONE from my body. I focus daily on a lifelong detox program. I had 14 amalgams removed and I will be at this for several years to come. However, it is working and I’m so very happy to have learned the importance and how to do a lifelong detox protocol. The FIGHT protocol ROCKS and the 1 1/2 years I have been on it is the best thing I ever did. Lyme patients have panic attacks, but Lyme patients are also full of serious toxins, namely lead/mercury. I have never and don’t intend to take pharmaceuticals to remove the unwanted and toxic chemicals in my body. You can listen to the Webinar on FIGHT at www.gordonresearch.com. It is excellent and you can learn a lot…
At least this article talks about reducing our environmental exposures. We can work hard at doing that, which I do daily, but with the “industry”, like Monsanto who continue to dump deadly toxins into our gardens, food and homes. It is time THE CONSUMER, JUST SAYS NO MORE and stop buying these toxic chemicals. Until the consumers walk up and put their foot down, the Monsanto’s of the world will continue to make our bodies a toxic dump.
The one I worry about is pregnant mothers. The baby they are carrying is a toxic dump from all the bad things the mom is exposed to and eats. These babies don’t have a chance in hell. They will be born with a body FULL OF TOXINS….Sad Sad thing…
You want to get rid of unwanted WEEDS. Simple solution, take one gallon of Heinz WHITE Vinegar, pour in a cup of Morton’s salt, and one tablespoon of Dawn dishwasher detergent….Pour over the weeds and or spray the weeds you want dead. It works and it is NON-TOXIC, using NO CHEMICALS. So for approximately $3.00 dollars you can make the safest non-chemical WEED KILLER…..Shssssssssss don’t tell Monsanto or they might come and get me….ROFL…..
Folks you can very easily began cleaning up your homes, offices and diets from chemicals, and begin a program like FIGHT. Save your own lives, children’s lives and our earth.
Regards,
Linda or Angel
PS…..I have tried hundreds of detox techniques over the years (I’m 65 yrs old) but I have found that the products in my lifelong daily detox program works for me. I feel blessed daily for this…
December 9, 2009 — Young adults with higher blood lead levels are more likely to have major depressive disorder (MDD) or panic disorder, even if they have exposure to lead levels generally considered safe, new research suggests. Continued
