DHEA – Important Information from Dr. Gordon & Dr. Mercola

By on Aug 5, 2011 in Hormones | comments(0)

Linda’s comment:  I’m now taking DHEA and it makes a   difference in how I feel…. I will be 68 yrs old in September and feel DHEA is now a must in my daily supplement routine…

Dr. Gordon’s Comments: I find DHEA is useful and I have taken it for years, 50 mg a day. We always need to learn more about it to avoid side effects and achieve the optimal dose. One study showed cancer patients survive far longer if they receive DHEA and oral melatonin. 

This link provides useful information on DHEA, which is an extremely useful hormone that most of us will want to be taking at some point in life depending on your blood tests results. I do not feel that I need to bother to take this in a topical form, as this article recommends, but for many other hormones like testosterone and progesterone topical administration can be very useful.

Supplementing With THIS Hormone Can Lead to Tumors and Insomnia 
Posted By Dr. Mercola | March 19 2011 

Before I begin this article I want to state very clearly that hormones are not my primary specialty. I have used them clinically but I found the science quite controversial, so this is a summary as I best understand it.

If you are a clinician with considerable experience in this area I invite you to present your views to update the information on DHEA.

Oral Vitamin K-3, with comments by Dr. Gordon

By on Feb 22, 2011 in Food | comments(0)

Could oral Vitamin K-3 activate oral Vitamin C so efficiently that it could be a viable alternative to IV Vitamin C for seriously ill patients needing oxidative therapies? In Vitro research is very promising and I will present more on this topic for the ACAM oxidative workshop mid-April in Minneapolis that I am doing with Robert Rowen and others. 

Now there are IN VIVO human trials so read the entire report attached and learn much more!  This is vital to saving lives. Many patients have been led to believe that nothing but IV Vitamin C can help extend their lives. Whereas we know that those that keep their Vitamin C urine test strips in the bright yellow range prove that they have high levels of vitamin C in their body at all times 24/7. By using the special vitamin C delivery system called BIOEN’R-G’Y C they seem to always live much longer than anyone expected. It now seems that they might add oral Vitamin K-3 and do even better! 

This is a key document  like the new Johnson And Johnson blood test for cancer followed always with a reference to Kobayashi and the tamoxifen/radiation article on breast cancer and the  Harvard Study on telomeres and age reversal in old mice with tamoxifen, which have all been shared with you on FACT.

The Vitamin C:Vitamin K3 System – Enhancers and Inhibitors of the Anticancer Effect

Davis W. Lamson, MS, ND; Yu-Huan Gu, PhD; Steven M. Plaza, ND, LAc; Matthew S. Brignall, ND; Cathy A. Brinton, ND; Angela E. Sadlon, ND

Abstract
The oxidizing anticancer system of vitamin C and vitamin K3 (VC:VK3, producing hydrogen peroxide via superoxide) was combined individually with melatonin, curcumin, quercetin, or cholecalciferol (VD3) to determine interactions. Substrates were LNCaP and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines. Three of the tested antioxidants displayed differences in cell line cytotoxicity.

Melatonin combined with VC:VK3 quenched the oxidizing effect, while VC:VK3 applied 24 hours after melatonin showed no quenching. With increasing curcumin concentrations, an apparent combined effect of VC:VK3 and curcumin occurred in LNCaP cells, but not PC-3 cells. Quercetin alone was cytotoxic on both cell lines, but demonstrated an additional 50-percent cytotoxicity on PC-3 cells when combined with VC:VK3. VD3 was effective against both cell lines, with more effect on PC-3.

This effect was negated on LNCaP cells with the addition of VC:VK3. In conclusion, a natural antioxidant can enhance or decrease the cytotoxicity of an oxidizing anticancer system invitro, but generalizations about antioxidants cannot be made.

Nutritional status in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

By on Nov 30, 2009 in General News | comments(0)

Linda’s comment:  Isn’t it wonderful when the conventional docs find that Nutrition and proper diet is directly connected to the growth and function of children!!??  Some of you would like to scold them and say “I told you so” but I’m just excited that they are “finally” getting it!!  Just as the children of the Autism Spectrum parents have found that diet/nutrition is everything.  They also know that reducing the total body of pathogens and toxins can make all the difference in their children’s learning, sleep, and growth.  Reducing those heavy metals can help ALL, including adults.  Do your research folks and you can find the answers you are looking for.

Regards,

Linda

November 3, 2009 (Honolulu, Hawaii) – Overall nutritional status in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) shows that this patient population is at risk for low trace mineral status, including deficiencies in zinc and copper – minerals that may play a crucial role in the production of dopamine, norepinephrine, and melatonin, which regulates sleep.
