Linda comment’s:  I have been on the Dr Garry Gordon, DO, MD, MD(h) lifelong daily DETOX POTOCOL CALLED F.I.G.H.T. for over 2 years now….His power drink is only one part of FIGHT….This protocol gives you energy, reduces your total body burden of toxins And pathogens….It has helps dissolve BIOFILMS which is important with any disease, especially LYME DISEASE….please go to my blog atwww.lymebook.com/fight and listen to all 6 of the FIGHT protocols….each one is 60 min., BUT WORTH YOUR TIME….

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

This link is a great reminder about some basics that are needed for effective detoxing but this is never a simple one day visit to a spa. This is a LIFETIME PROGRAM. I really emphasize the point here that sweating is a great way for toxins to leave the body, and many will not start sweating very easily, but with time everyone can.

Everything works far better if you have your patients on ZEOGOLD and the four vital ingredients that make up my POWER DRINK. It is ESSENTIAL for long term success, and I would make it clear it needs to be taken daily for life! The four products are:
BioEn’R-G’y C, Beyond Fiber, MACA, and my Organic Green Drink. They are all combined in a 12 ounce cup and consumed at least once a day at a slightly heaping teaspoon of all of those ingredients.

But the magic is in the contents from one capsule of Zeogold, which makes all the difference with my detoxing program. Zeolite is required today for optimum health.

Dr Mark Hyman

Can ‘detox’ really help me, or is it just a celebrity fad?

IT’S NOT A FAD. Detoxification is key to health. In fact, problems with detoxification is one of the roots of illness. The gut is one of the core systems in the body that must be working well for you to be healthy. If you feel lousy, it’s likely you’re toxic.

Most of us are toxic in some way but the good news is that you don’t need to go to a spa for help. Here are ten basic principles that you can start now.

1.Drink plenty of clean water, at least eight to ten glasses of filtered water a day.

Linda’s comment: LISTEN-UP PEOPLE….I have been preaching this…..I have been on the lifelong daily detox for 2 years now….look at the FREE webinars on this sight on FIGHT….what you learn will save your life!!!

Dr. Gordon’s Comments: It bears repeating that we are all toxic but now this bright naturopathic doctor includes sources that most patients have never considered as contributing to their impaired health and even to breast cancer. Once patients see there is no escape they may be more compliant with the lifetime continual detoxification program I recommend including the use at least once a day of my “Power Drink” containing my Beyond Fiber, my Organic Green, BioEn’R-G’y C, and MACA.

Excerpt:

A Naturopathic physician in Phoenix says household products may be linked to a number of women’s health conditions. 

Dr. Marianne Marchese says household products may be linked to a number of women’s health conditions, and she put those findings in her new book 8 Weeks to Women’s Wellness. 

According to her book , the average person can store hundreds of chemicals in the body. 

One of her patients Sarara Corva tells us she believes common household items may have contributed to her breast cancer. 

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

There will always be controversies around Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy but the attached review article at the bottom helps to bring out some very useful information. I particularly appreciate this since it strongly encourages the use of Progesterone Creams either from over the counter or from compounding pharmacies. I strongly favor that approach and feel that there is useful information here about the limitations of various approaches to hormone testing. 

All of that being said, we still need to understand Estrogen Receptor Sites and why I fear the estrogen mimics, which are not discussed in most discussions regarding BHRT. Also the ongoing need to balance these chemicals out with I3C, DIM, glucosinolates, as in MACA, and the wonderful all natural approach we have with PUERARIA (H.R.T. Plus) acting at the molecular level, as a selective estrogen receptor modulator S.E.R.M. beta, which then leads into advanced concepts to protect breasts, bones, brains etc. This approach alone, however, will never provide total support, as topical progesterone will always be needed. 

Read Dr John Lee’s books but today we must add additional information if we are to achieve our maximum intended useful lifespan. Today we hear about the need for supplementation of iodine to maintain healthy breasts and thyroid etc. Some advocate aggressive supplementation with iodine and if we realize that some toxins like fluorine, bromine etc are blocking iodine the need for aggressive iodine supplementation makes more sense. Dramatic reversals of Fibrocystic breast disease and even cases of breast cancer responding to systemic and in some cases topical Iodine treatment directly to the breasts are being reported world-wide today. 

Why do we seem to need such high intakes of Iodine? Let’s look at toxins and their effect on hormone function. 

We have seen documented improvement in growth hormone levels in chelated patients where pituitary function was restored, as mercury levels we lowered. We have seen thyroid function return, as Lead levels were lowered with chelation. There are hundreds of toxins in all of us today and these toxins makes it necessary to use far higher levels of many nutrients including Iodine, Magnesium, Selenium, Vitamin C etc than are usually recommended in nutritional texts to achieve OPTIMAL health in our patients today. 

This is the link to a well written analysis of an OPRAH show on BHRT that may help you in counseling your patients who will easily get confused about all this.

Dear Oprah,
Your show on bioidentical hormones will surely help millions of women lead healthier lives, and inspire thousands of doctors to learn more about prescribing them. Once again you’ve shown amazing courage in speaking out on a touchy but important subject. Bioidentical hormones are on Big Pharma’s blacklist, and we know how many millions of advertising dollars they bring to television. I also applaud your choice of Dr. Christiane Northrup as an intelligent, rational, informed voice in bioidentical hormone replacement. She has been an articulate spokesperson for bioidenticals for many years.

Linda’s comments:  The Beyond Fiber in Dr Gordon’s drink is one of the best fibers I have every used.  I have tried many fibers, but the Beyond Fiber wins over all fibers on the market.   I will have to admit, his Power Drink is POWERFUL….in the beginning you will be visiting your bathroom, but trust me you will feel wonderful afterwards…..YESSSSSs, you will need to mix it with your favorite juice….I like mixing it with Mango, Peach or Pear…..Dr G is right, when you begin to feel what the MACA does for you, you will learn to drink it…..I have been on the FIGHT protocol for 2 years now and can tell you, IT WORKS….Those with chronic illness, the FIGHT protocol is a must…..I tell folks….just do it for 90 days, and stick to it.  You might find yourself pleasantly surprised.

My talk for IFIM in Chicago in June will be on “Advanced Detoxification for Infinite Health and Wellness”. I cannot achieve that goal without all forms of fiber but enhanced, as I make them with my “Power Drink”: Organic Greens, MACA, Beyond Fiber, and the one and only BioEn’R-G’y C, one slightly heaping tsp of each supplement in 10+ ounces of any
fluid. I like it with Pellegrino but tap water works fine too. Some of you will want to flavor their Power Drink with anything from mango, as seen in Vemma, or pomegranate juice. Most will not like the glucosinolate based MACA, as it is from the turnip family. But, if you learn what it does, you will do whatever is needed to make it palatable enough to use once or twice a day.

This is my way of preventing enterohepatic reuptake of toxins that start to move with oral or parenteral chelation or even zeolite but need to be ushered out of the body! I take this twice a day but I have to look healthy at 76 in order to lecture on advanced detoxification around the world. And now that I see what PEMF and Magnetico sleep does to raise my ATP levels so I my cells have the energy to assimilate nutrients and pour out toxins, I can tell you I am really getting younger and all of you can too.

Fiber is just the tip of the iceberg but it alone is reducing the risk of death from all causes. Imagine how healthy you can get if you amplify it with my Power Drink and the energy the body needs to push out intracellular toxins and assimilate the nutrient supplements we all take but may be seeing less and less results.  Then you too can start to feel, as fantastic as I feel all the time. Imagine what can be done when you amplify this detoxification effect!

Dr Yikyung Park, of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Rockville, Maryland, USA, and colleagues from NCI and AARP also found that dietary fiber was linked to a reduced risk of death from any cause over a nine-year period.

A diet rich in fiber, particularly from whole grains, may cut risk of death from cardiovascular, infectious and respiratory diseases, according to a report that was published online in the Archives of Internal Medicine this week.

Dr Yikyung Park, of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Rockville, Maryland, in the US, and colleagues from NCI and AARP also found that dietary fiber was linked to a reduced risk of death from any cause over a nine-year period.

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 comment:  This is all part of the FIGHT protocol…however, I do take other things added to this like a good probiotic, etc., etc., etc.

Dr. Gordon’s Comments: You are not taking enough fiber to keep your intestinal flora happy unless you are on Beyond Fiber. With the epidemic of food sensitivities today just consuming a great probiotic is not enough, as you must feed the new flora. I hope you will learn more about stabilized rice bran with artichoke and EDTA, as found in Beyond Fiber!

Excerpt:

Cardiovascular disease or heart disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins). There are several risk factors for cardiovascular disease that are essentially immutable. These are older age, male gender, and a family history of CVD. Additionally, three major risk factors identified include cigarette smoking, dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), and hypertension. Other identified factors associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease include physical inactivity, sleep problems, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, excessive intake of alcohol, thrombotic and fibrinolytic factors, elevated homocysteine levels, certain infections and inflammation, exogenously administered estrogens and androgens, certain psychosocial factors, increased fasting glucose. and frequency of migraines. The synergism of the presence of multiple risk factors must also be considered.

Dietary fiber is a general term that refers to a wide variety of compounds from plants that are resistant to the digestive enzymes produced by humans. Because dietary fiber is resistant to digestive enzymes, it is not broken down or absorbed, which means it does not provide calories or energy to the body. In general, high fiber diets are associated with significantly reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and all cause mortality. It is generally recommended that Americans should strive to achieve a total dietary fiber intake of 25 to 30 grams/day, which should preferentially come from foods, not supplements. However, dietary surveys indicate that dietary fiber intake among adults in the United States averages about 15 grams/day, or approximately half the recommended amount.

This issue about flame retardant is the tip of the iceberg. Go to Google and search on Ten Americans and find a video to learn what else is in everyone and at a much higher concentration in every newborn. Join me as I try to detox the world using things like Zeolite, high dose oral Vitamin C, Beyond Fiber, Greens, Maca and daily Zeolite starting with ACZ and then move on to ZeoGold, at least one daily for life.

Go to www.gordonresearch.com and watch my webinars on FIGHT and then the hour long specials on FIGHT including Food, Infection, Genetics, Hormones and Heavy Metals and Toxins. I find most health problems are multifactorial and the acronym FIGHT helps remind my friends and patients to leave no stone unturned in their quest for optimal health, as I clearly am enjoying now at last at age 75. Detoxing is a life time program!!

Excerpt:

Pregnant women with higher blood levels of PBDEs, a common class of flame retardants, had altered thyroid hormone levels — a fact that could have implications for fetal health. 
PBDEs, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers, are organobromine compounds which are found in household items such as carpets, electronics and plastics. PBDEs can leach out into the environment and accumulate in human fat cells. 

Eurekalert reports:
“Studies suggest that PBDEs can be found in the blood of up to 97 percent of U.S. residents, and at levels 20 times higher than those of people in Europe. Because of California’s flammability laws, residents in this state have some of the highest exposures to PBDEs in the world.”

A mysterious shower of microscopic chemicals near a Fresno shopping center could be the first evidence of a broad, undetected assault on the lungs of San Joaquin Valley residents.
If confirmed in other Valley cities, it means many thousands of people are daily breathing these cocktails of chemicals – known as ultra-fine particles — that corrode and damage lungs.

The plume in Fresno probably spreads over many square miles, not just the Fashion Fair area where they were discovered, said UC Davis atmospheric scientist Anthony Wexler, who detected the pollution.

Sensitive, expensive equipment is needed to detect and study ultrafine pollution. Science is only now defining the possible problem.

Wexler revealed Fresno’s midday rise in microscopic pollution last month at an air-quality conference, saying he and others will continue studying them to determine the source and extent of the plume.

Researchers also must figure out what’s in the particles and more clearly define the possible health threat. It may be years before local, state and federal officials can develop a cleanup strategy.

The particles are so small that 1,000 of them would fit across the width of a human hair. For years, science has known that such particles exist, but they are thousands of times smaller than previously studied particles in dust, soot and diesel smoke.
