WE ALL HAVE SOME CHRONIC INFECTIONS; now there is another major breakthrough to prove this.

My Fight program clearly is meant to help us educate our patients that achieving optimal health is a lifetime challenge. With increasing sophistication of lab sciences, we will find many more challenges in every one of my FIGHT categories but with the epidemic of people with chronic fatigue, you now have even more reason to want to learn about Oxidative therapies like OZONE/UVB/SILVER.

However, a unifying approach to enhance our bodies ability to deal with the multifactorial nature of any chronic disease should increase our interest in learning more about Energy medicine. This broad topic includes Homeopathy, Accupunture, Prayer, Microelectric Current therapy, Magnetic Healing, Oxygen, Hyperthermia and much of what is now called Alternative Medicine.

The exerpt below is just one line from the great overview of viral infections and XMRV that is found in Autism and Prostate Cancer and Chronic Fatigue. This area of research is all new this year but we can expect that someone will soon find many more fungi issues or parasites issues. Of course tying impaired health to our toxin load is just beginning to be seriously considered. Do not fail to look for a moment at this article, as when you tell patients they need to deal with the chronic infection component of their current symptom complex, many feel you are off the wall.

Unless they have heard of Candida or Chlamydia, or CMV, or Herpes, or Lyme, they are not attuned to the need to lower their total body burden of pathogens. No one needs to spend the money to chase down which of these infections they have, as no one will test negative for one or more of these infections if adequately tested. So testing for most patients is impractical except to get their attention as to why they must do something about the infection component of my FIGHT program if they are to achieve optimal health.

“XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) is strongly associated with chronic fatigue syndrome/ME. The earlier study published in the journal Science was a joint study by the Cleveland Clinic, the National Cancer Institute, and the Whittemore-Peterson Institute of the University of Nevada with Drs. Vincent Lombardi and Judy Mikovits as lead authors. Here the lead author of the NIH/Harvard/FDA study, Dr. Harvey Alter, noted in a press conference that he considered his study a confirmation of the earlier WPI study, even though they had detected different MLV-related viruses (MRVs), rather than only XMRV. There does seem to be a greater variety of MRVs in chronic fatigue syndrome/ME patients than first understood. The WPI’s original study also showed some evidence of additional MRVs.”

Excerpt:

Treat Magnesium Deficiency by Removing Mercury
by Lyn Hanshew, M.D.

Today, clinicians have major concerns with Toxic Body Burden, consisting of toxic heavy metals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) and pathogen load, and how these poisons adversely affect the nutritional status of their patients. A particularly critical example of the interference of toxins with nutritional status and biochemical function is the competitive aspect of Mercury and Magnesium.      

Mercury, Magnesium and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Mercury specifically competes with Magnesium and interferes with all Magnesium-dependent metabolic pathways, such as production of energy from ATP and GTP, which directly leads to lack of chemical energy. Every cell in the body requires chemical energy derived from ATP or GTP to function, heal and regenerate. Adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide that is critical as the “molecular currency” of intracellular energy transfer. In this role, ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is produced as an energy source during the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration and consumed by many enzymes and a multitude of cellular processes, including biosynthetic reactions, motility and cell division. In signal transduction pathways, ATP is used as a substrate by kinases that phosphorylate proteins and lipids, as well as by adenylate cyclase, which uses ATP to produce the second messenger molecule cyclic AMP. If Mercury is present, this cannot occur.

Silver has been known for its medicinal and antimicrobial properties for thousands of years. Hippocrates, “Father of Medicine,” used silver for tissue repair & wound healing. In 69 B.C. silver nitrate was described in the contemporary pharmacopoeia. The ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome used silver to control bodily infection & prevent food spoilage. The King of Persia used silver containers to carry water to prevent contamination. Throughout the ages, the ‘Metal of the Moon’ as it was known to some of the ancients has been used effectively for numerous medicinal purposes.

Beyond prescribing any silver-based product for its antimicrobial effect, it is necessary in successful practice to distinguish the vast differences in performance amongst competing brands. Clearly silver is not just silver. Major formulation advancements have been made in the last 150 years since the first electrolytically produced colloidal silvers came into existence. To understand the difference in antimicrobial activity between the leading evidence based silver products currently available, we need only compare kill kinetics studies against various benchmark microorganisms.

The most effective antimicrobials within the clinical setting are defined as broad-spectrum; exhibiting bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and more in killing effect. As there are a near infinite number of types, and genetic variations of pathogens, antimicrobial research is best accomplished by Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC) standard, invitro kill time studies. This is the same protocol utilized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in determining the germicidal efficiency of a pesticide/disinfectant. The AOAC protocols are accepted and recognized as standard.

In my investigations, I have compiled kill kinetics data of three of the better known silver-based antimicrobial products currently on the market, which I obtained from the manufacturer’s own websites. Included in this comparative analysis are the independently derived, and independently published kill kinetics test results of Results RNA Advanced Cellular Silver (ACS) 200®, American Biotech ASAP silver® and Purest Colloids, Inc. MesoSilver® against three benchmark microorganisms; Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Candida albicans, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Before we examine the data, a simple defining of terms is necessary:

Titer: Synonymous with Microbe Concentration. Titer refers to the number of organisms calculated in the culture prior to testing.
Log Reduction: Defines the percentage of kill in logarithms.

Conclusion
As you can see, the performance of these three silver formulations differs greatly. ACS 200® achieves 100’s of times faster kill in just minutes, against thousands of times greater number of pathogenic microorganisms.

With enhanced killing effect, superior efficacy and patient outcomes are readily discernable with ACS 200® versus competing antimicrobial products. In our clinical experience over the last several years, many practitioners have seen ACS 200® perform extremely well against a host of pathogenic microorganisms, with high benefit and very little risk.

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.

It seems that the experts will disagree, as to how much mercury in our body is from coal burning for power plants that settles in oceans and comes up in the food chain vs. how much is in the particulates we breath, which in one study in San Francisco was shown to be over 30% of all the total body burden of mercury. Breathing particulates carrying mercury is the major contributor or merely the second largest contributor may vary from research paper to research paper and be somewhat related to environmental circumstances of the patient group being studied.

We are very confident, however, that there is no safe level for lead or mercury and that there are serious synergies in their toxic effects on our health. It will come to pass someday that patients will know how much is in vaccines, amalgams, fish, and air they breathe and or water they bath in and in all of the many contributors to our body burdens of lead and mercury, which becomes complex as when we are born we are already loaded with them so there is no easy way out.

So I believe the day will come that everyone will consume oral chelators or improved Zeolite products daily and they will be as available as salt and pepper wherever we eat.

FDA’s Mercury Ruling Defies ALL Scientific Reasoning
by Dr. Mercola
August 22 2009
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/08/22/FDA-has-the-Audacity-to-Claim-Mercury-is-Completely-Harmless.aspx

In the video above I speak with Charles Brown, legal counsel for the Consumers for Dental Choice, which is a nonprofit corporation whose purpose is to educate the public about the health and environmental dangers of mercury fillings, and to ensure more effective government oversight on amalgam. Charles discusses the processes he’s been undertaking for the last 10 years to get dangerous mercury fillings removed from the market, and brings you up to speed on where we are today with the FDA’s most recent, atrocious ruling.
The U.S. FDA has issued a final regulation classifying dental amalgam without calling for stringent precautions for pregnant women and children — even though last June a court settlement filed by the Consumers for Dental Choice required the FDA to withdraw claims of mercury amalgam’s safety from its Web site and issue an advisory indicating:
“Dental amalgams contain mercury, which may have neurotoxic effects on the nervous systems of developing children and fetuses.”
Instead, the FDA has classified the fillings as class II devices, meaning the agency is claiming that they are completely harmless. This stands in direct contradiction of the conclusions of the FDA’s own panel of scientific experts, and the findings of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT).
In fact, mercury dental fillings contribute 2 to 3 times as much mercury to the human body as all dietary and environmental sources combined. IAOMT is urging the FDA to change the ruling, ban dental amalgam from commerce and issue a mandatory recall on the product.

Charles Brown says:
“FDA broke its contract and broke its word that it would put warnings for children and unborn children for neurological damage. Bowing to the dental products industry, FDA for the first time in its history pulled a warning about neurological harm to children.”
“This contemptuous attitude toward children and the unborn will not go unanswered,” said Brown.  “We will see FDA in court.”
Vapors from dental mercury go into the human body. Due to mercury waste, amalgam is also increasingly targeted by environmentalists. Amalgam has also become controversial because the middle-class has largely moved to non-toxic alternatives while the poor, minorities, and institutional recipients, such as soldiers and prisoners, still get mercury amalgam.

(Excerpt from presentation article by Mark Hyman, MD entitled ‘Systems Biology, Toxins, Obesity, and Functional Medicine’)

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. We live in a sea of toxins. Every single person and animal on the planet contains residues of toxic chemicals or metals in their tissues. Eighty thousand new chemicals have been introduced since the turn of the 20th century and most have never been tested for safety or for synergistic actions. The Centers for Disease Control issued a report on human exposure to environmental chemicals. They assessed human blood or urine levels for 116 chemicals (and there were thousands more for which tests were not conducted) as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.1 While they found high levels of toxins in some, and low levels in many more, the study, in isolation, may not tell the whole story. Why? Because these chemical toxins move quickly from the blood into storage sites-mostly fat tissue, organs, and bones-so the blood or urine levels underestimate the total toxic load. Both weight gain (because of stored toxins) and the total toxic load can frustrate attempts at weight loss by impairing two key metabolic organs-the liver and the thyroid, by damaging the mitochondria- the site of energy metabolism, by affecting neuroendocrine signaling, and by increasing inflammation and oxidative stress.

FAT AS A STORAGE DEPOT FOR FAT SOLUBLE TOXINS

The Environmental Protection Agency has monitored human exposure to toxic environmental chemicals since 1972 when they began the National Human Adipose Tissue Survey. This study evaluates the levels of various toxins in the fat tissue from cadavers and elective surgeries. Five of what are known to be the most toxic chemicals were found in 100% of all samples (OCDD or octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, styrene, 1,4- dichlorobenzene, xylene, and ethylphenol-toxic chemicals from industrial pollution that damage the liver, heart, lungs, and nervous system). Nine more chemicals were found in 91-98% of samples: benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, DDE (a breakdown product of DDT, the pesticide banned in the US since 1972), three dioxins, and one furan. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were found in 83% of the population. A Michigan study found DDT in over 70% of 4 years olds, probably received through breast milk. With the global economy, we may be eating food that was picked a day before in Guatemala, Indonesia, or Asia, where there are not the same restrictions on the use of pesticides as there are in the United States. Many of these chemicals are stored in fat tissue, making animal products concentrated sources. One hundred percent of beef is contaminated with DDT, as is 93% of processed cheese, hot dogs, bologna, turkey, and ice cream.

WHERE DO TOXINS COME FROM?
Exposure to toxins comes from two main sources: the environment (external toxins) and the gut (breakdown products of our metabolism, or internal toxins). Both can overload endogenous detoxification mechanisms.

External Toxins: The Dangers from Without
The external toxins include chemical toxins and heavy metals. The heavy metals that cause the most ill health are lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, and aluminum. Chemical toxins include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), solvents (cleaning materials, formaldehyde, toluene, benzene), medications, alcohol, pesticides, herbicides, and food additives. Infections (hepatitis C virus) and mold toxins (sick building syndrome) are other common sources of toxins. Our modern refined diet can be considered toxic because it places an exta burden o detoxification systems through excessive consumption of sugar, high-fructose corn syrup (the two most important causes of elevated liver function tests), trans fatty acids, alcohol, cafeine, aspartame, foods made with genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the various plastics, pathogens, hormones, and antibiotics found in our food supply.

Testing for Toxins and Detoxification Function
* Genetic testing of detoxification pathways for phase I and phase II SNPs
* Detoxification challenge test (provocations with caffeine, aspirin,
acetaminophen)
* Measurement of detoxification enzymes
– Reduced glutathione
– Glutathione peroxidase
– super oxide dismutase (SOD)
* Heavy metals
– RBC or whole blood
– Hair analysis
– Chelation challenge with DMPS or DMSA
* Urinary organic acids
– Specific compounds measured, including sulfates, pyroglutamate,
orotate, and others, can give clues to problems with detoxification
pathways.
* Chemical antibodies to various toxins and metals (can occasionally be useful)
* Organophosphates: identified through a 24-hour urine collection test
* Mold and mycotoxin antibodies
* IgG food sensitivity testing
* Celiac testing (IgG and IgA anti-gliadin antibodies, tTG IgA)
* Digestive stool analysis for dysbiosis
* Tests for hidden infections (Lyme, H. pylori, etc.)

Practical Suggestions for Patients
Remove Toxins
* Eat organic food and animal products to avoid petrochemical pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics.
* Drink filtered water (reverse osmosis or carbon filter).
* HEPA/ULPA filters and ionizers can be helpful in reducing dust, molds,
volatile organic compounds, and other sources of indoor air pollution.
* Clean and monitor heating systems for release of carbon monoxide, the most common cause of death by poisoning in America.
* Have houseplants that help filter the air.
* Air out your dry cleaning before wearing it.
* Avoid excess exposure to environmental petrochemicals (garden
chemicals, dry cleaning, car exhaust, second-hand smoke).
* Reduce or eliminate the use of toxic household and personal care products (aluminium-containing underarm deodorant, antacids, and pots and pans).
* Remove allergens and dust from your home as much as possible.
* Minimize electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from radios, TVs, and
microwave ovens.
* Reduce ionizing radiation (from sun exposure or medical tests such as X-rays).
* Reduce heavy metal exposure (predatory and river fish, water, lead paint, thimerosal-containing products, etc.).

Improve Elimination of Toxins
* Have 1-2 bowel movements a day.
* Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day.
* Sweat regularly.
– Use exercise to help you sweat regularly.
– Use steam baths or saunas – infrared saunas may be even more beneficial.
* Regular exercise, yoga, or lymphatic massage can improve lymph flow and help flush toxins out of your tissues into your circulation so they can be detoxified.

I also want to help move us into a new preventative medicine and anti-aging testing system developed by I-M Heath. This unique program measures up to 37 different biomarkers in a patient, resulting in an overall personal biological score that is presented ‘visually’ on a body-map. This helps the patient to “see” their current condition (how slowly or quickly they are aging) and allows the doctor and patient to work together on a holistic program that is supported by published clinical science.

FOOD

With Food it is hard to identify all sensitivity reactions so, at minimum, serious rotation is advised but building a healthy gut flora is vital or we become sensitive to other foods anyway. Since few want to be told to eliminate foods, we can encourage them to eat foods that are in the books by Peter D’Adamo ND, author of Eat Right For You Blood Type and Live Right For Your Blood Type.
For example, if you are blood type A, you want to eat a largely vegetarian diet, and if you are blood type O you’ll do better with meat-based diet like Atkins; if you are B or AB you are more in the middle of these. The food issue is never resolved adequately with any one test available, so some will rely on strict avoidance of known foods like corn, soy, wheat, and dairy.

Others can learn to eliminate some foods by counting their pulse before and after eating single foods, as described by Dr. Arthur F. Coca, the Chief of Allergy at Columbia, in his book The Pulse Test (available through Amazon.com for about $ 15).

We could do some food sensitivity testing using methods like ALCAT or Elisa testing for food reactions, as usually there will be some food sensitivity blunting the healing response we need.  But since leaky gut is unavoidable with the GMO soy and corn in everyone’s diet providing a pesticide effect in our intestines and altering our flora. I place anyone hoping to have high health on a daily probiotic for life but this will not work optimally without Inuflora, a food derived from the Jerusalem artichoke that is in  Beyond Fiber which provides the ultimate PREBIOTIC. This is NOT FOS. This is a huge molecule that alone lowers Candida counts over just a few months time, ensuring healthy flora to flourish while harmful pathogens are choked out.

Beyond Fiber is part of my POWER DRINK which I create by adding the following FOUR main ingredients to juices:

1) Beyond Fiber
2) MACA powder
3) Dr Gordon’s Advanced Green Powder
4) BioE’nR-G’y C

Amounts required are around 1 tsp of each ingredient at least once a day; but some will do better with bid building up slowly. Start with an even ½ tsp of these once a day, as we MUST rebuild the flora for all this to work optimally.

The Power Drink is best sipped over 2 hours ideally bid so you need well tolerated, neutral PH forms of Vitamin C with methylation support like TMG AND MSM, as found in BioEn’R-G’y C (or Vitality C). BioE’nR-G’y C is key to recovery of all patients; I like about 4 tsp a day giving 16 gms of ascorbic acid. But this must be taken with a quality acidophilus, ideally for life. I am using Kyodophilus or UAS Probioplex DDS caps.

INFECTIONS

Infections are hard to adequately handle unless you routinely offer a short series of 3-6 UVB and OZONE treatments over a couple of days or 2 weeks.  The alternative is to use 50-80+ gm IV ascorbic acid drips ideally followed the same day with HBO treatments.  This goes to H202.

Also, there are reasons to look on my website www.gordonresearch.com under INFECTIONS, and learn how to use natural things like ACS 200 and Immune support and short courses of antibiotics like Azithromycin, or even a week or so of oral Alinia. All of this is needed, as we try to lower the total pathogen load. I do that without spending a fortune trying to identify all the pathogens, as literature shows we all carry them.  Chlamydia is just the tip of the iceberg and we all will have to deal with some CMV and Mycoplasma etc.

We know there is infection and generally we do not need to spend $5k plus with Garth Nicolson’s lab in Huntington Beach or others to attach some name to this pathogen burden. We can safely assume that some stealth organisms are present and the body is not adequately handling them. I have heard of patients using 1 ounce of ACS 200 a day (150 sprays in divided doses) for over a year. Although slowly improving, the infections are still not being hit hard enough so we may need more aggressive oxidative therapies like 100 GM IV ascorbic acid or UVB/Ozone. We just know we need something oxidative, even HBO with high dose IV Ascorbic Acid followed by HBO almost at the same time, which is another way to lower total body burden of pathogens.

Also, look at things such as high-dose Garlic like Kyolic (which some can take and others will not touch) and help the immune system with short-term high dose Vit A, 5-8 days of ½ million units a day. Nutrisorb-A is a liquid form providing 10,000 units per drop.

I find that most patients are not holding their pathogens under adequate control so I help support their immune function. My program uses Longevity Plus© products that are truly comprehensive and a bargain since no immune support product provides the comprehensive coverage found in their Immuni-T products. The Immuni-T2 is primarily for acute infections and the Immuni-T3 is designed more for chronic issues including cancer. I recommend taking both for 1-3 months starting with 2 tid of each for 2 to 3 weeks then 2 bid for a couple months or longer.  This will help your patients deal with the infection aspect of F.I.G.H.T.

GENETICS

Many labs offer gene testing today and the price will come down and accuracy will increase. But I am confident there will be issues around things like MTHFR and METHYLATION so that helps explain why some patients cannot get optimal response without addressing the need for methylation support.

So I advise all 3 forms of Folic Acid and sublingual B12. Preferably both adult males and females will receive H.R.T Plus (Herbal Remedy from Thailand), which provides Estrogen receptor treatment with the amazing herb Pueraria mirifica. This does many things like protecting against bone loss. Combined with my total program for osteoporosis including Beyond Bone Defense and Beyond Chelation Improved, this is a vital step in allowing us to live long and still have soft arteries and hard bones, even when you are 90.

Ideally, we need to move into anti-aging medicine and select some patient to use as a test case, for learning how to use International Anti-aging Systems (IAS) new program that Phil Mican helped develop with the help of Ward Dean. So go to the I-M Health website and ask for a test sample to learn how to analyze your patients BIOLOGICAL AGE. That is a great way to show over the next 6-12 months that we are getting real benefits. The program will show your patient who complies with all of this getting younger, as the red dots it uses to highlight problem areas will start to become green over time. This is a great way to increase compliance, as the report highlights areas of concern that over the coming years we will see improve!

If we stick to my F.I.G.H.T. concept we can to this without using genetic testing because, for example, the Agouti mice research shows we have Epigenetic changes due to environmental toxins. This research by Randy Jirtle at Duke helps explains today’s epidemic of Obesity and Diabetes due to things like BISPHENOL A. You can safely assume most people have been exposed to BISPHENOL A and that has caused some of these epigenetic changes like methylation defects.

So using the BioE’nR-G’y C with TMG AND MSM, at least 1 slightly heaping tsp 2-4 times a day i.e.  taking 8-16 gm a day, preferably with all the other three ingredients found in my Power Drink for optimal results. Nothing beats the Beyond Fiber formula for lowering toxins particularly when taken along with ACZ Nano. It seems that the Zeolite formula is helping move some of the toxins that even Beyond Chelation Improved and Heavy Detox, and hi-dose vitamin C with Fiber, and sweating are moving around, but we need lots of assistance to usher all of these toxins out of the body!

HEAVY METALS
HORMONES

F.I.G.H.T. means lots of detoxing is MANDATORY and that means more than a year of intensive work, which can never be discontinued, as we continue to eat, drink and breathe in toxins. This detox can be helped with homeopathics for drainage. Consider, for example, HEEL has their DETOX kit and I often add 10 gtts of each of the three bottles to each glass of my Power Drink.

For heavy metals the goal is get them as low as possible. Lead is in the bones of everyone, and it is at 1000+ times greater quantities than was present 400 years ago. Bones take 15 years to remodel, so I recommend some of my ‘short’ or push Calcium EDTA IV’s weekly to start and following ideally with IV MYERS.. After 20 or so, switch to perhaps monthly for another 20-30 or more. But always with the full Oral Chelation Program which includes my Beyond Chelation Improved plus Power Drink.

For more in-depth information on the causes of universal toxicity and affordable, natural solutions to ‘getting the lead out’, check out my latest book ‘Detox with Oral Chelation: Protecting Yourself from Lead, Mercury & Other Environmental Toxins’.

And, of course, ideally patients can join a gym and sweat in the sauna or steam room, or get their own FIR sauna. They now have the new portable versions (that you sit in with head out) costing less than $500. Sweating frequently is crucial as this is an ideal way for Mercury and many other toxins to get out.

For Hormones, I use topical Testosterone – Progesterone Chrysin 150-5-200 per cc, the full 15 years.

TOXINS

So we still must deal with the T for toxins. To prove to patients that they need this you might use US BIOTEK lab and get their urine test for 5 toxins and have the interpretation of their $120- $140 urine stick test interpreted by Mark Schauss. They will test for Phthalates, styrene, benzene, toluene, etc. This is useful so that patients know they are not wasting their time and money on all this detoxing.

For those patients who can afford the expense, it is beneficial to spend the $4900 and send the 20 vials of blood to Mt Sinai School of Medicine to get all 240 toxins measured.  See the excellent Environmental Working Group web site to learn more about that blood test for toxins. Bill Moyers tested and it revealed that in spite of eating and living organically, he too is loaded with endocrine disruptors, carcinogens and neurotoxins and he has lived all organic for years.

I hope what I have written here will prove useful in your practices. If we can broaden our approach to every patient by utilizing the F.I.G.H.T. concept and covering even more issues, you will be getting better results in all patients.
