Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Everything  you think you know about vitamin C is probably more than 50% wrong  and, if you relied on this official appearing document re vitamin C, you would not use it.  The attached document is from NIH so it gives you all the negative but you must know all that too.

But I am providing you with the contrary opinion. You will be amazed at how the right hand of the government does not know what the left hand is doing! FDA has approved vitamin C for treating one type of cancer!  That opens the door to great speculation and further research about non-toxic cancer therapies and I am excited to incorporate into this program the power of PEMF, which makes each cell ALKALINE and restores transmembrane potential. So I believe I have two or more non-toxic approaches that need to be looked at concurrently and incorporated with my FIGHT program for long term success.

Using IV VIT C with  my FIGHT program and PEMF ( Pulsed Electromagnetic  Field Therapy )  you will see and feel results  with PEMF on top of my FIGHT program, I am clearly  getting younger!

There are other ways to enhance the effectiveness of high dose IV Vitamin C in treating cancer and using it alone I do not find that IV VIT C is very often curative but it almost always helps and buys time for other therapies to be instituted.

Remember   we all need to improve outcomes, as our patients pay cash. We are not endowed by Government funds like our brethren using their chemo/radiation.  They are generally covered and   just bill the system and are ok no matter what the outcome.  We are NOT OK unless we turn out superior results and have data that shows we can beat mainstream outcomes hands down.

This NIH authoritative appearing well– referenced document would make anyone think oral low dose (2000 mg and under) Vitamin C is dangerous and causes cancer and heart disease. It appears to be fully referenced up to date through November 2009 yet it is missing an important point; somehow IV vitamin C WITH K-3 is now FDA approved for treating bladder cancer!! After all if anyone knew that vitamin C could be FDA approved for one cancer then some doctors would have some interest in trying it in other cancers just like the oncologists do everyday.

How can I and many of our colleagues be successfully using oral and IV vitamin C to keep Cancer patients alive far longer than their oncologists predict and still be considered by mainstream oncologists to be so wrong?  They tell their patients to never use vitamin C!

This report even has recommendations about not exceeding what they have established now, as their safe upper limit of oral vitamin C at 2000 mg MAX. Yet it is hard for them to ignore entirely what we are doing with cancer so they throw in some words to try to sound plausible with their otherwise very negative review of vitamin C. This is BURIED in the attached report but of course they have their numbers about what the maximum serum levels achievable with oral vitamin c vs.  the high serum levels achievable with IV Vitamin C. Those that are interested to get to the bottom of this mystery will find that vitamin c deserves your serious attention, IV and ORAL because there is always the rest of the story.

This is just one paragraph from many articles you may want to review once you read my comments: ’The bottom line is: Apatone selectively targets and kills tumor cells using non-toxic biochemistry that protects surrounding healthy tissue.” Licensed in 2004 to IC-MedTech, Inc., a California-based biotechnology company, the first clinical trial began in 2005 to evaluate the drug in prostate cancer patients. The clinical studies, which were conducted at Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio and with Dr. Ananias Diokno at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Mich., examined the safety and effectiveness in 17 end-stage prostate cancer patients for 12 weeks. These patients took Apatone orally each day. The trials were supported by the Beaumont Foundation, Summa Health System and IC-MedTech.

Yet this is the best that the NIH report can offer the informed patients and physicians trying to help cancer patients. They admit there could be some discrepancy in the research but clearly tell no one that vitamin C is working when mixed with the correct form of vitamin K-3 (Apatone), which increases its oxidative capacity.

Remember this  work using vitamin C  for cancer  goes back several years now  and it consists IV vitamin C with the correct form of vitamin K, which unfortunately it appears that  most physicians  have never found  the correct form since there appears to be as many as 6 molecules being sold as vitamin K-3 and some are toxic. Yet in the lecture I will deliver for The Oxidative Training Workshop during IMOSAIC on April 7th at the Minneapolis conference, sponsored by ACAM, AHIMA, AAEM and ICIM, I will educate you about how easily you can kill the therapeutic effect when you are trying to master oxidative therapies with something as simple as giving NAC or GLUTATHIONE concurrently.

Excerpt:

Introduction
Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Humans, unlike most animals, are unable to synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is an essential dietary component [1].

Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, and certain neurotransmitters; vitamin C is also involved in protein metabolism [1,2]. Collagen is an essential component of connective tissue, which plays a vital role in wound healing. Vitamin C is also an important physiological antioxidant [3] and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants within the body, including alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) [4]. Ongoing research is examining whether vitamin C, by limiting the damaging effects of free radicals through its antioxidant activity, might help prevent or delay the development of certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases in which oxidative stress plays a causal role. In addition to its biosynthetic and antioxidant functions, vitamin C plays an important role in immune function [4] and improves the absorption of nonheme iron [5], the form of iron present in plant-based foods. Insufficient vitamin C intake causes scurvy, which is characterized by fatigue or lassitude, widespread connective tissue weakness, and capillary fragility [1,2,4,6-9].

Dr. Gordon’s Comment:

Since DCIS (Ductile Carcinoma in Situ) is just a premalignant condition, the odds are good that with my FIGHT program or the Kobayashi program, monitored annually or more often with blood tests like www.caprofile.net or www.testyourself.com.  With the knowledge of the damage chemo is doing to say nothing of the damage from radiation, would you want to let the mammogram push you into all of this expensive and dangerous care of surgery, radiation and chemo with the added risk from breast implants that often develop painful capsule contraction?

People are not being told how few cases go on to full blown cancer over a ten year period following this common diagnosis.

The annual use of blood based cancer screening and follow up with simple health promoting program based on my FIGHT program makes far more sense.

Save your brain from chemo side effects.

Chemotherapy destroys brain tissue, cognitive function
by Jonathan Benson, staff writer 

(NaturalNews) New research out of Indiana University adds to the growing list of harmful side effects caused by chemotherapy. According to scientists, the chemical cancer treatment destroys gray matter in the brain associated with cognitive function and memory.

Published in the journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, the study is the first of its kind to use brain imaging scans to verify the negative effects of chemotherapy on the brain. However, previous studies have already found that chemotherapy damages cognitive function, providing the basis for the popular term used to describe this condition known as “chemobrain”. 

“These analyses…suggest an anatomic basis for the cognitive complaints and performance changes seen in patients,” explained Andrew Saykin, Psy.D., director of the Indiana University Center for Neuroimaging and researchers at the IU Simon Cancer Center. “Memory and executive functions like multi-tasking and processing speed are the most typically affected functions and these are handled by the brain regions where we detected gray matter changes.”

Suzanne Somers’s Cancer Book “Knockout” Soars to Number One on New York Times Best Seller List…

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen  www.bolenreport.com

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

It just had to happen sooner or later – the truth about the US Cancer Industry not working at all, just had to come out – to the American public, in a very big way.

If you haven’t picked up, and read, Suzanne Somers’s newest book, you don’t have anything better to do today, after you finish reading my newest newsletter, of course, than running down to the store and picking up a copy.  In fact, if you have a list of people in mind you care about, then pick up more than one, and give those people a copy.  The book is about the real world, and, frankly, I think Suzanne did a better job, much more, than she intended.

There is a Foreword to the book by Julian Whitaker MD.  Those of you who know Julian will not be surprised that he tells it like it is, clearly and succinctly.

Then Suzanne tells her story about how, about a year ago today, she had a health problem coming home on an airplane, checked into an Emergency Room unable to breathe properly, and was given about a gazillion dollars worth of what hospitals seriously label as cutting-edge testing.  She was then diagnosed by six separate doctors there with full-body cancer.  They recommended, of course, full-body chemotherapy and told her to get her affairs in order immediately.

This all came as a big surprise to Suzanne, of course, who prides herself on taking care of her health.  After the initial shock wore off common sense kicked in, as in “wait a minute here, Cancer does not come on this quick.”  There is something wrong with this situation.

Fortunately, Suzanne had health care “secret weapons” available.  Unlike most Americans she had telephone access to some of the best cutting-edge practitioners the world has to offer. She knows the same doctors I know – and she grabbed her cell phone and called a few.  They told her what to really do – for she had been tested about a month before and was, at that time, in the peak of health.

So, where then, did this “full-body cancer” come from?  Suzanne demanded a biopsy.  Of course, as you probably already suspect, the biopsy came back with no signs of cancer…  and the authoritative six doctors were tripping over themselves trying to pretend that this didn’t happen.  Their cell phone calls were probably to their Malpractice Insurance Carriers.

Then, if you think things could not get any worse, four more doctors show up, this time so-called experts in infectious diseases, and declared that “since there was no cancer, then Suzanne must have either tuberculosis, leprosy, or coccidiomycosis (valley fever)” and they declared that she must isolated from the hospital community.  They moved her to the isolation ward and put an armed police officer in front of her door so she couldn’t escape, and her family couldn’t see her.  And, of course, they told her that it would be two to six weeks before the laboratory results came back defining what was actually happening.

Now, let me explain something to you about Suzanne Somers, so you will understand the explosion that’s about to come the hospital’s way – quickly.  Suzanne is an Irish girl, descended from a long line of Celtic men and women who have developed a strong sense of right and wrong, and an even stronger sense of what it takes to right a wrong.  The Celts, as you may know, both men and women, used to strip naked, paint themselves blue, and ride their war chariots into the enemies battle lines with gusto.

With that said, I want you to take a look at the picture of Suzanne on the cover of her new book. She’s Blue.

When Suzanne demanded to be able to go home the infectious disease doctors told her she would have to agree to take all of the medications for each of the diseases they suspected she might have.  They mentioned that the leprosy medication makes you sweat blood.  Suzanne signed the papers and took the prescriptions home – but took none of them.

She called her own experts first – who told her not to take them.

Finally, Suzanne got the results back from the tests and found that she had a severe case of Valley Fever, something extremely common in the Pacific Southwest.  It is caused by a common fungus found in the dirt in California and Arizona.  And, it is easy to treat, and it is not usually life threatening.

So, why didn’t the hospital find this first, or at least look for it?  Good questions.  Unfortunately most of know the answer.  What happened to Suzanne is fairly common.  How? The test for this fungus is cheap, and does not require the use of fancy machinery and massive billing for test services, so it would simply never be used first.  In hospitals health care decisions are made using Sutton’s Law.

What’s Sutton’s Law?  In the 1920’s a bank robber named Willy Sutton was finally captured.  When asked “Willy, why do you rob banks?”  Willy answered “because that’s where the money is…”

It is the same situation with health care decisions.  Hospitals, and their doctors make decisions based on the profit on the test, or the treatment – not on what works, or is most practical.  Which, in case you were wondering, is why hospitals and Oncologists recommend chemotherapy for Cancer when they are clearly aware that it only has a 2.1% success rate over five years.  It is VERY profitable, and Oncologists will recommend it until the very end – when either the patient finally dies, or the health insurance maximum runs out.  Whichever comes first.

What’s Happening…

This book is tearing up the Cancer Industry.  Right from the start the industry brought out their best Spokes-bozos.  The guy from the American Cancer Society (“The Limousine Charity” – 71% of the contributions made to them goes to Administrative costs) was an absolute hoot, walking right into one trap after another on national television.  Clearly the industry was not  then, and is not now, prepared to fend off the attack Suzanne threw at them.  We haven’t seen this guy since.

And, of course, now the book is at the top of the New York Times Best Seller List.

Points to Consider…

The book is for the layman.  It is divided up into readable segments that make sense, and lead to the next important points.  She talks about “What Got Us here, The Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer, Preventing Cancer Before it Starts,” and offers resources.

For those of us living in the world of trying to protect, and promote, innovation in health care in general, and cancer specifically, it is a valuable resource.

Of course an old guy like me has to admit that I bought the book for the picture on the cover.  I know that Suzanne Somers is 63.  But there, on that cover, she makes 63 the new 33.  And she is wearing Celtic Blue…  You can see the cover, and the book’s beginning, by clicking here.

Stay tuned…
