Linda’s comment: ListenUP folks…this is all the more reason why a lifelong daily detox is important…I have been on the FIGHT protocol for 2 years now and it is the best thing I have done for my wellness journey…
You can find the FIGHT webinars on this website…watch all 6 of them….they explain the why’s, how’s and need’s, of this important protocol…
Dr. Gordon’s Comments:
Please read this very carefully. Dust is really a bigger contributor to heavy metal burden than anyone understands until now. Notice the mention here of PTSD and even a mention of ALS in young soldiers.
We are on the right track when we emphasize toxins including heavy metals but this front page story on May 12 in USA Today will help educate your patients about the need for ongoing life long detoxification efforts!
Notice how quickly the agencies that may have to pay for the care for these exposed military personnel are to deny this link to impaired health that is becoming epidemic. Remember last month’s front cover of Discover magazine announced that 1400 tons of mercury are coming to us from China.
There is a common thread here; we are all toxic unless we take steps every day like oral chelation, zeolite, fiber, high dose ascorbic acid etc. We will sooner or later have degenerative diseases that are clearly triggered by these toxic exposures we all face daily.

Navy researcher links toxins in war-zone dust to ailments
By Kelly Kennedy, USA TODAY
U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait have inhaled microscopic dust particles laden with toxic metals, bacteria and fungi — a toxic stew that may explain everything from the undiagnosed Gulf War Syndrome symptoms lingering from the 1991 war against Iraq to high rates of respiratory, neurological and heart ailments encountered in the current wars, scientists say.
“From my research and that of others, I really think this may be the smoking gun,” says Navy Capt. Mark Lyles, chair of medical sciences and biotechnology at the Center for Naval Warfare Studies at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I. “It fits everything — symptoms, timing, everything.”

Linda’s comment: This is one of the easiest protocols to follow….I have been on the program for 1 1/2 years now and all I can say is don’t waste one more minute….go to www.gordenresearch.com and click on Webinars…then look for FIGHT….yes it takes some time, but the education and awareness you will gleam is well worth the time you will spend…
FROM DR. GORDON:
There is no escaping Mercury from coal burning power plants so what do we tell patients since we are all being adversely affected. We sound unscientific if we suggest that everyone needs to get the lead and mercury out yet that is the truth. But, we need new ways to monitor the severity and the response, such as markers of oxidative stress.
If we try to tease out the increased risk from a local power plant while distant plants in China are polluting everyone, this research will be as difficult as studies on cigarette smoking have been. We now know that second hand smoke is possibly even more toxic.
So with that in mind, if we pollute everyone on the planet with lead and mercury, it will be very difficult to tease out just how much worse the pollution effect if from your local coal burning power plant since environmental factors working through Epigenetics play such a major part of which illnesses you express from YOUR mercury exposure. From the dramatic responses in Parkinson’s patients treated with mercury removal therapy including OSR from Boyd Haley’s research, we can begin to recognize that Mercury exposures express differently in different people at different ages.
The good news is that stopping the excess exposures by restricting mercury containing fish and removing amalgams all seem to show real benefits. Enhanced removal of heavy metals is possible with long-term use of Zeolite, Fiber, High Dose Ascorbic Acid, OSR, etc. Amazingly enough some children recover full speech and many see their tremors stop.
The issue is we cannot stop breathing and since the air always contains toxic metal particulates, everyone on earth today needs lifetime protection.
The problem is to move away from relying primarily on enhanced post provocative chelation studies on urine and into a more unifying concept that recognizes we must lower our exposures to all OXIDATIVE STRESSORS. Moving in that direction will eliminate the tendency to under treat children who may have a block in their ability to excrete heavy metals or have excessive inflammation that is holding the metals in involved tissues despite the use of otherwise normally useful detoxing methods.

SAN ANTONIO (April 24, 2008)—How do mercury emissions affect pregnant mothers, the unborn and toddlers? Do the level of emissions impact autism rates? Does it matter whether a mercury-emitting source is 10 miles away from families versus 20 miles? Is the risk of autism greater for children who live closer to the pollution source?
A newly published study of Texas school district data and industrial mercury-release data, conducted by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, indeed shows a statistically significant link between pounds of industrial release of mercury and increased autism rates. It also shows—for the first time in scientific literature—a statistically significant association between autism risk and distance from the mercury source.
“This is not a definitive study, but just one more that furthers the association between environmental mercury and autism,” said lead author Raymond F. Palmer, Ph.D., associate professor of family and community medicine at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio. The article is in the journal Health & Place.
Dr. Palmer, Stephen Blanchard, Ph.D., of Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio and Robert Wood of the UT Health Science Center found that community autism prevalence is reduced by 1 percent to 2 percent with each 10 miles of distance from the pollution source.

Linda’s comments:
I have tried over a dozen Fibers over my lifetime and Beyond Fiber is the best one I have found. This is a Fiber that even healthy folks need to be taking. There is no way you can eat enough Fiber in our daily diets, especially Fiber that does what the Beyond Fiber does. Those Lymies with leaky gut or intestinal problems will benefit from this great Fiber. As we are detoxing the Beyond Fiber carries the toxins out of our body at a rapid pace.
Many Lymies have used other Fibers, but when they switch to the Beyond Fiber they have better results.
I’m now on a full scoop, TWICE daily…..it also appears to be enhancing the Probiotic I take, which is very important for those with chronic illness. This FIGHT program is a blessing to those of us who are dealing with Lyme and other chronic illness.
