Lead in vinegar

Findings from a November 9, 2009, Environmental Health News report have revealed that many varieties of balsamic vinegar contain trace amounts of lead that are contributing to neurological and other damage in both children and adults. Ingestion of a single tablespoon of vinegar with the highest tested levels of lead was found to potentially raise a child’s blood lead level by 30% while two tablespoons a day would raise it by 55%.

CHRONIC Low Level Lead Toxicity and our Health

Linda’s Comment:  Dr Garry Gordon has had a great deal of anxiety over the amounts of heavy metal toxins that we are being exposed to on a daily basis….Dr Gordon developed the FIGHT program to help reduce our load of heavy metals and become more healthy.  Don’t wait until you are a dead person walking.  Do your research and find your own answers.

I personally have been on the FIGHT program for over a year and very happy I did.  For those of us with chronic illness like Lyme disease, we must do everything we can from diet, exercise and finding the protocol that will help us to reduce our load of pathogens and toxins.

Come join the discussion and learn how you too can reduce your total body burden of pathogens and toxins.

CHRONIC Low Level Lead Toxicity and our Health

It seems from this new report that my concerns about chronic lead toxicity are destined to become the concerns of mainstream medicine. All I have to do is live to over 100 and my approach to health problems might become mainstream so perhaps I need to keep working hard to stay ahead of mainstream medicine. Continued

Wild Meat Raises Lead Exposure

Linda’s comments:  No only do we have to worry about eating wild meat containing Lyme disease, but now we have to be concerned about the “lead” exposure from eating this meat.  There is also proof that deer from our high mountain ranges are getting lead exposure from the “coal” stacks in China.

Heavy metals is all around us and it is a must that we begin a journey in a lifelong daily detox program to reduce these heavy metals from our bodies.  For those with chronic illness, like Lyme disease, it becomes deadly.  If you have amalgams, it is important to have them safely removed by a dentist that knows how to remove them properly.  Look for a Holistic dentists and if there are none in your community, then ask around for dentists that have experience in removing amalgams safely.

You can help protect yourself by finding a lifelong daily detox like the FIGHT program.  I have been on this protocol for over a year and am very pleased.  Feel free to ask questions about the products I have found that replenish my body to a healthy state.  Don’t get caught up in a once a year cleanse.  A lifelong cleanse is vital for good health.

Iodine Deficiency Epidemic

Dr Joe Pizzorno, as the former Dean of the John Bastyr School of Naturopathic Medicine, still does a great job of continuing to educate. Read more about how iodized salt may be very unstable in humid environment.

I cannot say it more succinctly than he has here!  Get IODINE into patients! Continued

Mercury Amalgams vs. Breathing Particulates or Eating Fish?

How great is the contribution of Mercury from dental amalgams vs. breathing particulates or eating fish??

Why is FDA so afraid to alert consumers to the possibility that amalgams contribute to total body mercury levels and that combined with eating fish, which they refuse to require adequate labeling there also, means that consumers have no knowledge why they have so many health issues in their family.

Contaminated Drinking Water in Our Schools

Drinking water in schools is clearly unsafe; lead is just the tip of the iceberg.
Once we educate everyone, then someday we will have reverse osmosis (RO) units in schools but that will take a long time. In the meantime water is merely one source of toxins now found in everyone so maybe the answer is to put Zeolite in everyone to help filter this stuff out before it gets more concentrated in our tissues like brain and heart.

TOXIN MAGNET: The New Zeolite-Based Detox Program

Alzheimer’s Disease, MS, Autism, Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes… If we neutralize and remove the toxins in our bodies, while supplying ourselves with needed nutrients, we will see a world free of most degenerative diseases!

Dr. Garry F. Gordon will present ‘TOXIN MAGNET: The New Zeolite-Based Detox Program You Need To Get Healthy’ at the 37th annual Cancer Control Society Convention, on Saturday Sept 5th, 2009 at the Sheraton Universal Hotel, Universal City, CA (Los Angeles area).

As our environment becomes increasingly toxic,  a safe, effective and convenient ‘daily’ treatment for lead, mercury, and other toxins, is now an essential part of any effective anti-aging and health promoting program.
Dr. Gordon’s “Toxin Magnet” powerpoint presentation will be available on the Gordon Research Institute website at www.gordonresearch.com.  A webinar will soon be announced on that site for those who are unable to attend this conference. For additional information, use the search feature and type in either the word ‘Cancer’ or ‘Kobayashi’,  for life-saving information about a proven program that eliminated cancer for over 10 years, for more than 10,000 patients!

We Are All ‘Living In A Sea Of Toxins’

Mark Hyman MD has done an excellent job at the 13th Annual Functional Medicine Conference of organizing thoughts about the EFFECTS of environmental and exogenous chemicals on our health, and why blood testing underestimates the extent of the problem.

I draw your attention to a few paragraphs from his extensive presentation, which discusses some of the impact of chemicals and toxins on our health.

LIVING IN A SEA OF TOXINS: THE PROBLEM

Why should we worry about toxins unless we work with toxic chemicals or spray pesticides for a living? Isn’t exposure minimal? Unfortunately, risks of exposure are substantial, pose significant public health risks, and can no longer be ignored. Continued

F.I.G.H.T. Environmental Toxins and Epigenetic Changes for Optimum Healing and Anti-aging in Every Patient

These are my thoughts on how to more effectively help EVERY patient better by using my F.I.G.H.T. for Health Program. F.I.G.H.T. is an acronym that stands for: Food allergies/sensitivities and leaky gut syndrome, Infections and pathogens, Genetics and epigenetics, and methylation issues needed for detoxing, Heavy Metals and Hormones, and Toxins that every person is exposed to everyday, everywhere. Regardless of the condition or disease your patient is suffering from, you will have better results by addressing each of these categories in every patient. Continued
