DETOX with M.I.C.E (Magnetically Induced Cellular Exercise)

The dust and smoke from the collapsed World Trade Center towers, and the fires that burned continuously for three months, consisted of more than 2,500 contaminants.  50% non-fibrous material and construction debris; 40% glass and other fibers; 9.2% cellulose; and 0.8% asbestos, and toxic amounts of crystalline silica, lead, mercury, cadmium, dioxin and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) which are known carcinogens and can also trigger kidney, heart, liver and nervous system deterioration.   

According to two studies published in the 10^th anniversary edition of the prestigious medical journal The Lancet, firefighters exposed to the World Trade Center attacks are nineteen percent more likely to get cancer.  They and other 9/11 rescue workers are also suffering higher pulmonary, respiratory and stress related illnesses in comparison with the general population. 

Of 27,000 rescue workers who are voluntarily enrolled in a federally funded monitoring program, 28 percent have developed asthma, 42 percent chronic sinusitis, and 39 percent have developed gastroesophageal reflux disease.

M.I.C.E. (Magnetically Induced Cellular Exercise) utilizing pulsed electro-magnetic frequency therapy, re-energizes damaged cells by inducing electrical changes within the cell that restore it to its normal healthy state. 

Cellular Exercise – Induces Autophagy

Autophagy is an internal “housekeeping” and recycling system that degrades damaged or unwanted organelles and proteins in a cell, and produces energy. This process has been shown to protect against cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, infections, diabetes, and more.   The failure of autophagy is thought to be one of the main reasons for the accumulation of cell damage and aging.  

PEMF – PMT100

Electricity and magnetism are vital to life.  A deficiency of magnetism in the body is like the body running out of oxygen.  With the loss of over 90% of the earth’s electromagnetic field, almost everyone today is operating at far below their true potential. Magnetic therapy restores what earth changes have depleted, the vital electromagnetic energy needed to produce optimal health. 

In clinical studies PEMF has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, increase cellular energy production and detoxification, stimulate the body’s own stem cell production, heal non-union bone fractures.  PEMF is used to treat various cancers through facilitation of cellular alkalinity and apoptosis.  PEMF demonstrates amazing results in the treatment of mood disorders and depression, as well other neurological disorders like Autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. 

PEMF has even been documented to completely reverse a case of
advanced coronary artery disease!

PEMF repairs damaged and diseased tissue, repairs torn tendons and fractured bones, and enhances the synthesis of protein in the cells.  Pain, swelling, inflammation, and irritation are reduced while endorphins, serotonin, and the body’s natural healing processes are stimulated.  Nerves regenerate.  Range of motion is increased.  Metabolism is improved.  Nitric oxide is produced which dilates the blood vessels.  The formation and development of new cells, known as cytogenesis, is stimulated.  Edema, or swelling, is reduced.

PEMF therapy promotes the same responses and benefits that physical exercise produces, without the stress and strain upon your muscles and bone.  PEMF is Magnetically Induced Cellular Exercise or M.I.C.E.   It re-energizes damaged cells by inducing electrical changes within the cell that restore it to its normal healthy state.  Because of this, cellular metabolism is boosted, blood cells are regenerated, circulation is improved and oxygen carrying capacity is increased.   

Ultimately, with PEMF and M.I.C.E. the immune system becomes healthier as the vital organs such as the liver, kidneys and colon are able to rid themselves of impurities thus detoxifying the body.  PEMF Therapy can reduce pain and improve the quality of your life by allowing your body to function as it was designed to do.”

From Garry Gordon, MD:

This PROTOCOL will dramatically improve almost any skin condition for any patient. Always think systemically; always deal with foods that are sensitizing the patient and toxins and infections that are not necessarily just skin infections.

Please get an atomizer from Longevity Plus and fill it 50/50 with Quinton Marine Plasma Hypertonic and ACS 200 and spray often. Alternate that with sprays from ACZ Nano, which if not responding we can make stronger by putting one ZeoGold cap in 2 ounces of good water, let it hydrate and draw off the top 10 cc or two tsp. Use that to “spike” the ACZ Nano after 10 cc have been used or put in water and drank but that way we have POWERFUL HEALING from the stronger Zeolite form in ZeoGold that I find even helps cancer lesions on the skin. 

When using Quinton always take at least 3-4 of the Isotonic orally to maximize effect but spraying it is amazing particularly with the help of the other suggestions. Get two atomizers to use up the 10 cc or simply drink the residual contents.

Longevity Plus also has the strongest topical Aloe Vera used in nursing homes by Carrasyn. Use that lightly on the skin, as it will dry and form a thin film helping the other spray applications become longer acting.

Always top off the program with MY INFECTION PROGRAM. Orally use 5 days of high dose Vit A, 300-500,000 units each day, and always use high dose Vit D, 5000 a day, and Immuni-T2, three bid, and use the ACS 200 orally, 1 ounce to start then 25 sprays tid, which is 1/2 ounce daily, for days or weeks depending on condition. 

But EVERYONE has to learn my FIGHT program and the oral program here will help skin recover by lowering total body burden of pathogens but all skin is an accessory detox organ so soak in tub with Beyond Clean (EDTA) and follow instructions on the jar to alternate with Epsom then vinegar, etc.

Always use my Power Drink (MACA, Beyond Fiber, BIOEN’R-G’Y C and Organic Green) with Beyond Chelation-Improved and ZeoGold, as I can show you that even lifetime disfiguring psoriasis or other impossible eczema etc will always respond to my FIGHT program. Always increase Omega 3 to 4 caps daily for a month in addition to the one cap in each BC-I packet but the primrose in those is essential too. The diet is tough, stop sensitizing foods; listen to my webinars on FOOD and FIGHT and SILVER to learn more.

Excerpt:

A new study led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen has confirmed that vitamin D plays an important role in activating immune defenses against infectious diseases like flu.

Vitamin D deficiency has already been linked to a wide spectrum of diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, autoimmune disease and many others.

The study published in the latest edition of Nature Immunology discovers that activation of T-cells to fight infections needs definite help from vitamin D.

Carsten Geisler and colleagues, study authors, explained the role vitamin D plays in the immune responses as follows.

First when the naive T cell recognizes foreign invaders like bacteria or viruses with T cell receptor (TCR), it sends activating signals (1) to the vitamin D receptor gene. The VDR gene then starts producing DVR protein, which binds vitamin D in the T cell (3) and becomes activated. Then the vitamin D bound and activated DVR gets into the cell nucleus and activates the gene for PLC-gamma1 (5), which in turn produces PLC-gamma1 protein (6) and “the T cells can get started”.

Lyme arthritis in dogs can be induced under experimental and
natural conditions.
However, the veterinary relevance of canine borreliosis is still
under extensive investigation. The prevalence of symptoms is
clearly low although the risk of tick exposure is high. Current
research focuses on case definitions, methods for diagnosing
clinical disease in dogs, and discrimination between an immune
response to a natural infection versus vaccination.
In this experimental study,
23 dogs raised under tick-free conditions were allocated to two
groups: 11 dogs were vaccinated with a commercial borrelia
vaccine and subsequently developed detectable antibody titers; 12
were walked in a tick-endemic area on two consecutive days. On
day five after exposure engorged ticks were removed from the 12
dogs and analyzed for Borrelia DNA in real-time PCR assay. Blood
samples were taken before exposure/vaccination and at defined
time points thereafter.

Excerpt:

If you have multiple sclerosis (MS)––or you know someone who does––you probably remember how long it took to make the diagnosis.  You also may remember a lot of blood tests, a lumbar puncture, at least one magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, as well as many visits and examinations by various doctors.  You may wonder why it still takes so long to make the diagnosis in this modern age of MRIs and other sophisticated tests.  We are going to try to explain why it can be so difficult for even the most expert MS neurologist to determine that someone has MS.  You have to live with the diagnosis and face the disease and the treatments.  You should understand and have confidence in the diagnosis.  Also, if your case of MS does not fit the typical pattern, you need to be aware of the other disorders that can mimic MS.  This is important because the treatments may be very different and, just as in most cases of MS, treatment begun early in the course of the disease is the best way to prevent or slow further neurologic damage.

MRI and new laboratory tests have definitely helped speed the diagnosis, but it still takes longer than anyone would wish, even in easy cases.  This is partly because of the variable nature of the disease in its many signs and symptoms. But it is also because a rather long list of other medical disorders can cause neurologic symptoms and signs that resemble MS. Furthermore, the “white spots” on brain MRI can be caused by a number of other conditions that also need to be ruled out.

The diagnosis of clinically definite MS requires that a person experience at least two neurologic symptoms of the type seen in MS, in two different areas of the central nervous system (CNS), at two different times (‘disseminated in space and time’).  Most typically, the symptoms are optic neuritis plus either an abnormal sensation or a problem with movement.  It can also be numbness in one part of the body and weakness or lack of coordination in another.  But in every case, there can be no other explanation for the symptoms, the changes seen on the MRI, and the abnormalities in the spinal fluid.  Many “mimics” need to be ruled out in order to make the diagnosis of MS. 

A North Carolina State University researcher has discovered that bacteria transmitted by fleas–and potentially ticks–can be passed to human babies by the mother, causing chronic infections and raising the possibility of bacterially induced birth defects

Dr. Ed Breitschwerdt, professor of internal medicine in the Department of Clinical Sciences, is among the world’s leading experts on Bartonella, a bacteria that is maintained in nature by fleas, ticks and other biting insects, but which can be transmitted by infected cats and dogs as well. The most commonly known Bartonella-related illness is cat scratch disease, caused by B. henselae, a strain of Bartonella that can be carried in a cat’s blood for months to years. Cat scratch disease was thought to be a self-limiting, or “one-time” infection; however, Breitschwerdt’s previous work discovered cases of children and adults with chronic, blood-borne Bartonella infections–from strains of the bacteria that are most often transmitted to cats (B. henselae) and dogs (B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii) by fleas and other insects.

In his most recent case study, Breitschwerdt’s research group tested blood and tissue samples taken over a period of years from a mother, father and son who had suffered chronic illnesses for over a decade. Autopsy samples from their daughter–the son’s twin who died shortly after birth–contained DNA evidence of B. henselae and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffi infection, which was also found in the other members of the family.

Both parents had suffered recurring neurological symptoms including headaches and memory loss, as well as shortness of breath, muscle weakness and fatigue before the children were born. In addition, their 10-year-old son was chronically ill from birth and their daughter died due to a heart defect at nine days of age.

Excerpt:

Widespread illness has been observed in children in the Yaroslav Oblast
following immunization with tickborne encephalitis (TBE) vaccine. The
vaccine in question is named “Encevir” and has been temporarily withdrawn
from use due to high rates of adverse reactions. The regional
administration of Rospotrebnadzor [the Russian equivalent of a health
protection agency] has stated that adverse reactions affected 70 children
and 10 adults. 49 cases were assessed as moderately affected and the
remainder as mildly affected. Encevir is a product of the Russian
Federation company Microgen, which is based in Tomsk. Currently only a
vaccine of German origin is in use and there have been no complaints
following its use.

Meanwhile tick activity is increasing and has resulted in 750 tick attacks
including 102 attacks on children. 2 suspected TBE cases have been
hospitalized. By contrast, only 56 tick attacks were registered during the
same period of last year [2009]. The risk of infection after tick attack is
proportional to the duration of blood sucking. Transmission is negligible
during the first 24 hours, whereas by 72 hours transmission of infection
occurs in almost 100 per cent of cases. Epidemiologists warn that the risk
of tick attack is increasing and it is not safe even in suburban parks
within Moscow.

New Findings Boost Theory That Infection Causes Schizophrenia

Excerpt:

A review of studies of maternal exposure to infectious agents and schizophrenia in their offspring suggests that eliminating certain infections could prevent as many as 30 percent of schizophrenia cases.

Call it an instance of science being stranger than science fiction, and of nature’s unintended consequences.

In 2000, a team of British researchers published a remarkable paper in the journal of the Royal Society titled “Fatal Attraction in Rats Affected With Toxoplasma Gondii.” It seems that rodents infected with Toxoplasmosis gondi (T. gondii), a parasite that normally thrives in cats, become fatally attracted to cat urine, causing them to shed their normal avoidant behavior in the presence of a cat.

Naturally, cat catches rodent and devours it, with the result that the parasite T. gondii is again where it belongs: in a feline host.

Observing this case of attraction gone fatally wrong, the researchers, from the University of Oxford, postulated that T. gondii, one of nature’s most successful organisms, had developed an ingenious evolutionary mechanism for manipulating the behavior of the rodent—in whom the parasite would have reached a dead end—so that the rodent seeks out, suicidally, the feline host in which the parasite can thrive and complete its life cycle.

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

Excerpt:

A minor-league pitcher in his younger days, Richard Armbruster kept playing baseball recreationally into his 70s, until his right hip started bothering him. Last February he went to a St. Louis hospital for what was to be a routine hip replacement.

By late March, Mr. Armbruster, then 78, was dead. After a series of postsurgical complications, the final blow was a bloodstream infection that sent him into shock and resisted treatment with antibiotics.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think my dad would walk in for a hip replacement and be dead two months later,” said Amy Fix, one of his daughters.

Not until the day Mr. Armbruster died did a laboratory culture identify the organism that had infected him: Acinetobacter baumannii.
