Linda’s comment:  I take the HRT and LOVE IT….I have been on the FIGHT protocol for 3 years now….IT WORKS….

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

There is nothing to compete with H.R.T. (Herbal Remedy from Thailand) if you want strong bones and safe breasts.

I appreciate the input from my friend, Dean and Founder of the California College of Natural Medicine, Theresa Dale PhD, CCN, NP questioning the safety of H.R.T. (Herbal Remedy from Thailand containing standardized Purestrol) and comments regarding her outstanding work with alternative approaches to Hormone Balancing. I have great respect for Homeopathic approaches having served on the Arizona Board of Homeopathic Examiners for 9 years.

I do, however, have to offer information about why whatever treatment you advise for your patients, I hope you will ask Longevity Plus for all the research papers they can email you about why there is nothing that I have found anywhere that comes even close to competing with the safely and efficacy of H.R.T.

I got into anti-aging medicine 35 y ears ago with a simplistic approach. I had seen the benefits IV chelation was providing in treating vascular occlusive disease, peripheral coronary or cerebral. We believe then that part of the reason for the benefit from 3 hour IV chelation was lowering the pathologic vascular calcification. The prevention of this universal process I find requires preventing calcium loss from bones, and that requires a real SERM–BETA, and there is none safer or stronger than PURESTROL when standardized with the methods developed by Smith Natural of Thailand in collaboration with American companies.

Estrogen related compounds are known to be very valuable in preventing bone loss. I have traveled the world and have located an all natural SERM-BETA in Northern Thailand that not only stops bone loss but also lowers insomnia, depression and vaginal dryness while offering anticancer effect against breast cancers.

I continue to go to conferences several times a month and of course we find that salivary tests are very valuable for cortisol related issues but there continues to be widespread reservations have issues about relying on salivary testing for female hormone testing purposes.

Coming back them to my focus at my age of 76 is still anti-aging medicine. I know that when I meet in Thailand at the Army Medical School with MD PhD head of OB-GYN and review the remarkable studies showing that the standardized PURESTROL found in H.R.T. stops the proliferation of the major breast cancer cell lines, as well tamoxifen, while at the same time
functioning as the most powerful all –natural SERM-BETA (Selective Estrogen Receptor Beta).

H.R.T. does much more than “balance” hormones but patients can certainly benefit from adding other safe treatments that help them control symptoms. And H.R.T. is documented by multiple independent researchers to control vaginal dryness and insomnia and depression and bone loss while helping Northern Thailand residents enjoy one of the lowest incidences of Breast Cancer
In the world. NOTE: the men have very few prostate issues either.

Chrystyne Northrop’s book Women’s Wisdom, Women’s Bodies (www.drnorthrup.com
Dr. Christiane Northrup is internationally known for her empowering approach to women’s health and wellness) has endorsed Longevity Plus’s H.R.T.
product because it works like nothing else she has seen! Dr Robert J Rowen has also written about it in Second Opinion, which we recently released to FACT members.

The data is extensive and available to anyone contacting Longevity Plus customer support at 1-800 580-7587. You may receive by email the entire collection of published papers on H.R.T. including the recent extensive review of this astounding product that forever can safely change management of menopause or bone loss for every woman with or without current known breast cancer issues related to estrogen. Women are needlessly being told to tough it out if they have estrogen positive breast cancer that shows an appalling failure to know the entire published literature on that subject. The benefits of taking estrogen more than offset the presumed risks, but with H.R.T. you actually are not only relieving the symptoms but also providing an anti- breast cancer effect!

There is always room to add homeopathic products to manage symptoms but with H.R.T.

Pesticides bans are healthy for environment and people

Linda’s comment:  I love the Beyond Chelation-Improved….I also like the Boluoke with the wobenzyme….great for lyme patients…..great for coagulation problems that Lyme patient’s suffer from…

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

I do not use aspirin for primary prevention for any of my patients. The benefits are too small and the risks are real. It has clearly been oversold and misrepresented. It never has been an anticoagulant, but it does have some limited antiplatelet effects. On the whole it has some benefits but there are also some bleeding risks.

Moreover, since it does not decrease deaths from heart attacks or all-cause mortality, the patients are living with false sense of security and will ignore advice to be on a product that could clearly add years to their life but does not have all the marketing money behind it. Beyond Chelation-Improved is the real protection patients are seeking.

Patients who I clearly can help decrease all cause morbidity and mortality without question using Beyond Chelation Improved and, particularly for serious cases, adding Boluoke BID to the program, are not getting the message, as they believe in the hype surrounding aspirin. I can state unequivocally BC-I and Boluoke together do dramatically lower mortality from heart attacks even in patients with high risk documented left main disease. It also lowers all-cause mortality while also lowering stroke incidences.

The reasons are clear if you consider that BC-I has over 100 active ingredients and over $10 million in research behind it. BC-I has three books written about how it was developed and it took over $10 million back in the sixties to develop this natural approach to ending heart attacks and that was real money back then. There are two published studies where it lowered heart attacks by an average of 91% but that was some time before I added the EDTA to the formula. I believe that the benefits are even greater now.

So let’s take the time to learn the truth about the limitations of aspirin. For as long as your patients believe that their aspirin has made them less subject to death, they will have little real interest in learning about a product that really works, but takes real money to purchase every day of their life.

Attached is the conclusion of this large meta analysis report linked here: “There was no evidence of a statistical bias (p >0.05). In conclusion, aspirin decreased the risk for CV events and nonfatal MI in this large sample. Thus, primary prevention with aspirin decreased the risk for total CV events and nonfatal MI, but there were no significant differences in the incidences of stroke, CV mortality, all-cause mortality and total coronary heart disease.”

Excerpt:

Systematic analysis of the outcomes from the 9 trials confirmed that aspirin decreases the incidence of nonfatal MI and CV events. However, aspirin had no statistically significant effect on CHD, stroke, CV mortality, and all-cause mortality, but was highly significant for overall CV events.

Linda’s comments:  ListenUP folks….IF YOU DON’T LOWER YOUR TOTAL BODY BURDEN OF PATHOGENS AND TOXINS, you can’t get well….this is a VERY important post from Dr Gordon… I don’t know what it is going to take to get people’s heads wrapped around the GMO dangers??

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

Which is worse lead/mercury accumulations, toxins like this building up in everyone or loss of the electromagnetic field of the earth that we require for efficient metabolism? Or let’s forget which is worse and have a FIGHT program to deal with all of this and more.

But please know that in my mind Monsanto is getting away with murder. All this gluten intolerance and food sensitivities are Leaky gut related and that ties to the Bacillus Theringensis we all now have thanks to GM modified foods we all cannot escape. This is from Dr. Mercola’s link.

“Cry1Ab, a specific type of Bt toxin from genetically modified (GM) crops, has for the first time been detected in human and fetal blood samples. It appears the toxin is quite prevalent, as upon testing 69 pregnant and non-pregnant women who were eating a typical Canadian diet (which included foods such as GM soy, corn and potatoes), researchers found Bt toxin in:

*93 percent of maternal blood samples
*80 percent of fetal blood samples
*69 percent of non-pregnant women blood samples

Writing in the journal Reproductive Toxicology, the researchers noted:

“This is the first study to reveal the presence of circulating PAGMF [pesticides associated with genetically modified foods] in women with and without pregnancy, paving the way for a new field in reproductive toxicology including nutrition and utero-placental toxicities.”

This GM insecticide toxin is already showing up in fetal blood, which means it could have an untold impact on future generations.

Bt Toxin is a Built-In Pesticide
Upwards of 85 percent of U.S. corn crops contain a special gene added that allows them to produce an insecticide. This way, when bugs attempt to eat the corn they’re killed right away (specifically their stomach is split open) because the plant contains an invisible, built-in pesticide shield.

The particular gene added to most corn crops is a type of Bt-toxin — produced from Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria. Genetic engineers remove the gene that produces the Bt in bacteria and insert it into the DNA of corn (and cotton) plants.”

GM Insecticide Poisons Also Showing Up in Waterways
Given that Bt toxin has now been confirmed in the human bloodstream, it should come as no surprise that it has also infiltrated the environment. According to one study, 50 of the 217 streams, ditches and drains near cornfields that researchers tested were found to contain Cry1Ab above six nanograms per liter.

The protein is getting into the waterways via corn stalks, leaves, husks and cobs that blow into the water — a phenomenon that’s incredibly common since farmers often leave such material in fields to help minimize soil erosion.

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.

Linda’s comments:  Unfortunately XMRV is “real”….

Dr. Gordon’s Comments: Many still hope that XMRV is just a bad dream. Read this and you may conclude that it is real. It makes my F.I.G.H.T. program all the more prescient, as it is based on reality.  There is always some chronically increased body burden of pathogen is almost every chronic disease.

Of course we cannot afford medical care that treats those causes but at least it is nice to learn what the truth is and why so many people are chronically ill today.  Infection is one part of the puzzle and yet 99% of all patients cannot even get a test for lead or mercury levels to say nothing of even considering one or more chronic infections when they present with all this fatigue. Antidepressants get the patient out of the office in the allotted 10 minutes or less.

American Red Cross Statement on XMRV and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
National Headquarters
2025 E Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20006
www.redcross.org 
Contact: Public Affairs Desk

WASHINGTON, Friday, December 03, 2010 — At present, there are no specific federal recommendations regarding deferral of individuals with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or other diseases that have been associated with Murine Leukemia Virus-related virus (XMRV) infection. Nevertheless, in the interest of patient and donor safety, the American Red Cross will defer indefinitely any donor who reveals during the donor interview that they have been diagnosed with CFS.

XMRV infection has been associated in some studies with prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome, but at the present time these disease associations have yet to be confirmed.

There is currently insufficient data to conclude that XMRV is transmitted through blood transfusion. However, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Task force is conducting research to determine the frequency of the virus in the donor population, whether it is transfusion-transmitted, and whether recipients become infected and develop the disease.

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

PSA level velocity is a red herring; another myth about cancer diagnosis and treatment falls apart. How many men have lived in fear for years and some have had multiple biopsies, which I do not order for my patients because prostate cancer is the easiest of all cancers to treat with natural products.

- the “velocity” of rising PSA has needlessly tripled the biopsy rate providing risk without benefit for patients”

Since biopsies are now known to help spread cancer, the benefit to risk ratio for 2 out of 3 biopsies is  clearly negative. What we need, of course, is something that motivates people to follow a health promoting life style. I have called my life style program F.I.G.H.T. It is based on Dr Kobayashi’s ten years of research where some ten thousand patients avoided death from cancer.

It proved that cancer level in our body invariably diminishes with the simple health promoting steps he developed, which lead to my developing the F.I.G.H.T. program. It is important that these steps are initiated before the lump/bump stage develops. This proves that all cancer tests have some potential benefit to motivate patients to improve their health but only if we can limit the damage that overly aggressive treatment can lead to, including unwarranted biopsies. Cancer is a systemic disease and attacking the prostate or whatever tissue seems to be the focus is not the answer.

Study: PSA rise not good prostate cancer predictor
Updated Feb 24, 2011 5:58 PM |

A rising PSA level isn’t such a good a predictor of prostate cancer after all, and can lead to many unnecessary biopsies, says a large new study.

Most men over 50 get PSA blood tests, but they’re hugely problematic. Too much PSA, or prostate-specific antigen, only sometimes signals prostate cancer is brewing — it also can mean a benign enlarged prostate or an infection. And screening often detects small tumors that will prove too slow-growing to be deadly. Yet there’s no sure way to tell in advance who needs aggressive therapy.

On the other hand, some men have cancer despite a “normal” PSA count of 4 or below. So for PSAs that are rising, yet still in the normal range, some guidelines urge doctors to consider a biopsy.

How quickly the PSA number rises is something “that patients and doctors worry a lot about,” said Dr. Andrew Vickers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. “Men show up here with a PSA of 2 and we say, ‘Why are you here?’ And they say, ‘Well, I used to be a 1 and my doctor’s worried. Am I going to die?’”

So Sloan-Kettering researchers studied whether considering PSA velocity adds value to the biopsy-or-not decision in those otherwise low-risk men — and concluded it doesn’t.
“This is a really important study,” said Dr. Otis Brawley of the American Cancer Society, who wasn’t part of the research. “A lot of doctors are going to stop looking at a PSA rise of 1 and ordering biopsies.”

Linda’s comment:  For years Dr Gordon has said that if you are going to plan a pregnancy, then it is a MUST to go on a good detox protocol.  The unborn fetus is considered the toxic dump for the mom.  When a mom eats the wrong foods, or eats foods with pesticides/herbicides, etc., etc. etc., it all goes to the unborn fetus.

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Maternal nutrition ties to autism?  My plan for healthy babies takes on a new sense of urgency with this latest research!! Please read if you have anyone that might go through a pregnancy this year; they need to know this.

This new study about children born less than 1 year after the last child having three times the incidence of autism suggests to me that maternal nutrition is compromised after one child. The second pregnancy following too closely does not give the needed time to
replete nutrients lost during the last pregnancy.

I point out that all planned pregnancies ideally need to be preceded by ideally a year of detoxification. But, now we can see that also we need to build expectant mothers up nutritionally with far higher levels of nutrients found in today’s totally outmoded prenatal supplement formulas.

Just more vitamin D alone would reduce this tragic incidence of autism. My preferred prenatal is Beyond Chelation Improved, as that way we also get the essential fatty acids and the total spectrum of useful minerals while gently chelating out toxins with things like garlic and dl methione and oral EDTA, which alone has 507 references about its efficacy in lowering lead levels even in occupationally exposed workers on mywww.gordonresearch.com website.

Ideally I always also recommend my “power drink” using organic greens and Beyond Fiber and Maca and BioEn’R-G’y C, one slightly heaping tsp of each in 10+ ounces of good mineralized water like Pellegrino. And, for those willing, add Quinton Marine Plasma to that program. Then you can expect to have the healthiest possible baby known as Quinton babies, as putting in ultra trace minerals found only in this sea water based nutrient mineral drink has been shown to save lives of very sick babies so let them get it from their mother while in-utero too.

Closely Spaced Pregnancies Linked to Autism Risk 

By JENNIFER CORBETT DOOREN 
WASHINGTON — Closely spaced pregnancies were associated with an increase in the odds of a second child being diagnosed with autism, according to a study involving California children.

The study, which the journal Pediatrics published online Monday, showed the sooner conceptions followed the prior birth of a sibling, the greater the likelihood of the second child having an autism diagnosis. 

The study looked at more than 660,000 second-born children in California between 1992 to 2002. The study measured the time the second child was conceived relative to the first child, and then looked at autism diagnosis of the second sibling. 

The study found that second children who were conceived less than 12 months after the first child’s birth were three times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than children spaced further apart. Second children conceived less than two years after the first had almost twice the odds of receiving an autism diagnosis.

Linda’s comments:  It is difficult for me to understand why more doctors don’t understand how bad gluten is?   If they can’t label them with Celiac disease, then what, you can eat gluten….NOT….  Chronically ill patients even healthy patients for that matter, needs to get gluten out of their lives….They also need to stop eating GMO FOODS…..

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

WSJ says the new epidemic is gluten sensitivity and it is different than celiac disease but is now being blamed for multiple common symptoms. It is not easy to live gluten free since it seems to be everywhere. See The Gluten Connection by Shari Lieberman and others on Amazon.

Gluten: What You Don’t Know Might Kill You
Dr Mark Hyman

SOMETHING YOU’RE EATING may be killing you, and you probably don’t even know it! If you eat cheeseburgers or French fries all the time or drink six sodas a day, you likely know you are shortening your life. But eating a nice dark, crunchy slice of whole wheat bread–how could that be bad for you? Well, bread contains gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, and oats. It is hidden in pizza, pasta, bread, wraps, rolls, and most processed foods. Clearly, gluten is a staple of the American diet. What most people don’t know is that gluten can cause serious health complications for many. You may be at risk even if you don’t have full blown celiac disease. I want to reveal the truth about gluten, explain the dangers, and provide you with a simple system that will help you determine whether or not gluten is a problem for you.

Gluten sensitive? Here’s why 
By Melinda Beck

Lisa Rayburn felt dizzy, bloated and exhausted. Wynn Avocette suffered migraines and body aches. Stephanie Meade’s 4-year-old daughter had constipation and threw temper tantrums. 

All three tested negative for celiac disease, a severe intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains. 

But after their doctors ruled out other causes, all three adults did their own research and cut gluten—and saw the symptoms subside. A new study in the journal BMC Medicine may shed some light on why. It shows gluten can set off a distinct reaction in the intestines and the immune system, even in people who don’t have celiac disease.
