Dr. Gordon comments on Mercola article regarding toxins in flame retardants

This issue about flame retardant is the tip of the iceberg. Go to Google and search on Ten Americans and find a video to learn what else is in everyone and at a much higher concentration in every newborn. Join me as I try to detox the world using things like Zeolite, high dose oral Vitamin C, Beyond Fiber, Greens, Maca and daily Zeolite starting with ACZ and then move on to ZeoGold, at least one daily for life.
This relationship to toxins and hormones is just beginning to be understood but it is real and I err on the side of recommending hormone support for most hormones daily possibly for life. That means using H.R.T, Herbal Remedy from Thailand, to offset the dioxins and other endocrine disruptors found so far in everyone tested by Mt Sinai School of Medicine environmental lab.
Also I used Beyond GHS to support pituitary function and avoid the need for HGH. Taken with MACA these two supplements both raise free testosterone levels, so many people can postpone testosterone supplementation sometime for years. WE ALL NEED TO OPTIMIZE HORMONE FUNCTION.
Go to www.gordonresearch.com and watch my webinars on FIGHT and then the hour long specials on FIGHT including Food, Infection, Genetics, Hormones and Heavy Metals and Toxins. I find most health problems are multifactorial and the acronym FIGHT helps remind my friends and patients to leave no stone unturned in their quest for optimal health, as I clearly am enjoying now at last at age 75. Detoxing is a life time program!!

Excerpt:
Pregnant women with higher blood levels of PBDEs, a common class of flame retardants, had altered thyroid hormone levels — a fact that could have implications for fetal health.
PBDEs, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, are organobromine compounds which are found in household items such as carpets, electronics and plastics. PBDEs can leach out into the environment and accumulate in human fat cells.Eurekalert reports:
“Studies suggest that PBDEs can be found in the blood of up to 97 percent of U.S. residents, and at levels 20 times higher than those of people in Europe. Because of California’s flammability laws, residents in this state have some of the highest exposures to PBDEs in the world.”
