Linda’s comment:   We all hear about GMO foods and how deadly it can be for those of us with chronic illness….We have an epidemic of poor health, yet we can fix that if we clean up our diets….

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

GMO foods are one cause of todays epidemic of poor health contributing to food sensitivities is the tip of the iceberg. Now, there is hope we can stop this monster; truth in labeling will put an end to this travesty.

“Why are there basically no genetically engineered foods or crops anywhere in Europe, while 75 percent of U.S. supermarket foods—including many so-called “natural” foods—are GE tainted?

The answer is simple. In Europe genetically modified foods and ingredients have to be labeled. In the U.S. they do not. Up until now, in North America, Monsanto and the Biotechnocrats have enjoyed free reign to secretly lace non-organic foods with gene-spliced viruses, bacteria, antibiotic-resistant marker genes, and foreign DNA—mutant “Frankenfoods” shown to severely damage the health of animals, plants, and other living organisms in numerous scientific studies.

Monsanto and their allies understand the threat that truth-in-labeling poses for GMOs”

See the attached and know that together consumers do have the power to end Monsanto control of all food.

“If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it.” – Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994

Monsanto and Food Inc.’s stranglehold over the nation’s food and farming system is about to be challenged in a food fight that will largely determine the future of American agriculture.

Celebrating the Non-GMO Revolution

Dear Garry,

On January 20th Pamm Larry had an epiphany, as she calls it. Why not have a GMO labeling law on the November 2012 ballot in California? She did her research, put a website together, and “came out” on March 20—as a single voice with a big idea. Within six months, there were about 70 state leaders – holding events, showing films, recruiting support, and creating the framework for what may become the pivotal vote to usher GMOs out of our food supply.

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.

A relatively common defect involving Sialic acid –sets the stage for patients to develop autoimmune related illnesses! I continue to discuss my FIGHT program, as the best way to approach any autoimmune related condition.www.gordonresearch.com

Possibly, in the future, with evidence this strong, genetic testing for this variant could lead to patients being advised to go on my FIGHT program before they have the symptoms of one of the over 100 different autoimmune related conditions. The best statistics today indicate that over 40% of us have difficulty with either dairy or gluten. So, before we start seeing auto-antibodies to our tissues, those with this variant might want to eliminate those foods and do the rest of the FIGHT program too.

Abstract
Sialic acid acetylesterase (SIAE) is an enzyme that negatively regulates B lymphocyte antigen receptor signalling and is required for the maintenance of immunological tolerance in mice. Heterozygous loss-of-function germline rare variants and a homozygous defective polymorphic variant of SIAE were identified in 24/923 subjects of European origin with relatively common autoimmune disorders and in 2/648 controls of European origin. All heterozygous loss-of-function SIAE mutations tested were capable of functioning in a dominant negative manner. A homozygous secretion-defective polymorphic variant of SIAE was catalytically active, lacked the ability to function in a dominant negative manner, and was seen in eight autoimmune subjects but in no control subjects. The odds ratio for inheriting defective SIAE alleles was 8.6 in all autoimmune subjects, 8.3 in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, and 7.9 in subjects with type I diabetes. Functionally defective SIAE rare and polymorphic variants represent a strong genetic link to susceptibility in relatively common human autoimmune disorders.

Linda’s comments:  I have been on Dr Gordon’s FIGHT program for 1 1/2 years and IT WORKS.  Please do not take Statin’s….Eating non-GMO foods will help to prevent colon problems….don’t forget to take your probiotics….

Dr. Gordon’s Comments: This 2.6 fold increase in heart disease in those who are wheezing suggests that my FIGHT program is needed for patients with heart disease issues.

Excerpt:

Allergy is a disorder of the immune system which is a form of hypersensitivity. An allergic reaction is an inappropriate immune reaction to an otherwise harmless substance. Allergens can be environmental, chemical, or food-based. Common allergens include dust mites, pollen, animal dander, and certain foods. Allergens can be absorbed into the body through the skin, respiratory tract, or gastrointestinal tract. Allergens are proteins or low-molecular weight substances that the body identifies as antigenic. This creates an immune response known as a hypersensitive or allergic reaction. The production of chemical mediators in these allergic reactions may produce symptoms ranging from mild to life threatening.

In the United States, the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death is coronary heart disease also known as coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary artery disease occurs when a substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart (called coronary arteries). Plaque is made up of cholesterol deposits, which can accumulate in your arteries. When this happens, your arteries can narrow over time. This process is called atherosclerosis. Plaque buildup can cause angina, the most common symptom of CAD. This condition causes chest pain or discomfort because the heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood. Over time, CAD can weaken the heart muscle. This may lead to heart failure, a serious condition where the heart can’t pump blood the way that it should. An irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, can also develop. For some people, the first sign of CAD is a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when plaque totally blocks an artery carrying blood to the heart. It also can happen if a plaque deposit breaks off and clots a coronary artery. 

Even though Monsanto has never been stopped for long, GMO foods finally are asked to provide some data. This is a huge victory even if it later gets overturned. Finally one judge realized that they have not produced the data to permit them to take over the entire sugar market in this country, which means everyone will be getting the possibility of Bacillus theringensis and more leaky gut leading to more food sensitivities.

Judge Revokes Approval of Modified Sugar Beets
By ANDREW POLLACK

A federal district court judge revoked the government’s approval of genetically engineered sugar beets Friday, saying that the Agriculture Department had not adequately assessed the environmental consequences before approving them for commercial cultivation. 
The decision, by Judge Jeffrey S. White of Federal District Court in San Francisco, appears to effectively ban the planting of the genetically modified sugar beets, which make up about 95 percent of the crop, until the Agriculture Department prepares an environmental impact statement and approves the crop again, a process that might take a couple of years. 

The decision could cause major problems for sugar beet farmers and sugar processors. In the past the sugar industry has warned there might not be enough non-engineered seeds available. However, the judge ruled that crops currently in the ground can be harvested and made into sugar, so the effects will not be felt until next spring’s planting season. 
Beets supply about half the nation’s sugar, with the rest coming from sugar cane. Sugar beet growers sold the 2007-8 crop for about $1.335 billion, according to government data. 
The decision came in a lawsuit organized by the Center for Food Safety, a Washington advocacy group that opposes biotech crops. 

Probiotics are rapidly becoming essential for life if we want to enjoy optimal health. This may be related to the excessive use of antibiotics in agriculture, but whatever the reasons are, this 16 page attachment may provide you with the science on this soon to be essential nutritional supplement.

This IS A MUST for any patients with autoimmune or allergy related issues, including acne, autism, asthma, Auto immune disease and even cancer and, of course, all GI related issues. Use probiotics whenever there could be food sensitivities present. We can expect to see better results when we recommend a proven effective and stable probiotic.

However, whether you are using Kyodophilus, which Longevity Plus is carrying, as it is stable without refrigeration, or some other Probiotic, the need to facilitate their benefits by lowering the number of pathogens or unhealthy flora is very important.

I like the PREBIOTIC function of Beyond Fiber because it is not just the perfect combination of soluble with insoluble fiber but because it has stabilized rice bran, one of the most nutrient dense foods and that helps eliminate toxins but it also includes a special artichoke component from Germany that helps sustain friendly flora so well that over 2 months or so, Candida has been shown to significantly regress.

Please when maximizing probiotic benefits also consider the proven benefits of zeolite and silver, as available in what is called Total Body Detox, the two bottle package from Longevity Plus. The silver is needed because in many patients, the overgrowth of unhealthy flora is preventing implantation of friendly flora, so they need to be eliminated. Silver does that while the ACZ (Zeolite) component of Total Body Detox concurrently acts to neutralize many toxins, organic and inorganic. This permits restoration of a healthier gut flora and even improves immune functioning since the gut associated lymphoid tissue is
dramatically benefitted with this combined  probiotics/detox approach.

Linda’s Comment:The webinar on “H” was today and it was outstanding as usual…..it will be on web site in a few days…Go to www.gordonresearch.com …..I have been on the FIGHT program for `1`1/2 years and it WORKS..If you haven’t listen to the first FIGHT webinar’s I suggest you do so….very educational….makes you anxious to clean  up your bodies…

Dr Mark Hyman continues to sound the alarm with useful well organized information that can help us wake our patients up to the clear contributing causes to most poor health. They are suffering from TOXINS in our environment, not a deficiency of some antidepressant, pain medication, and cancer drug or heart medication. We need to wake up before it is too late and learn from Dr Hyman and from my FIGHT program that poor health is multifactorial but always Food sensitivities, Infections, Genetic, Heavy Metals, and Toxins are part of the answer.

Your body may be a toxic waste dump.

Worried? You should be …

We are exposed to 6 million pounds of mercury and the 2.5 billion pounds other toxic chemicals each year.

80,000 toxic chemicals have been released into our environment since the dawn of the industrial revolution, and very few have been tested for their long-term impact on human health. And let me tell you, the results aren’t pretty for those that have been tested …
How can we not be affected by this massive amount of poison? Continued
