Linda’s comments”  DIET is everything…..we are what we eat….VitD plays an important factor in our wellness journey….it is a MUST…..when you have a chronic illness this is one test that you should insist that your doctors run on you….while you are at it also ask for a B12- and Magnesium level too.

Dr. G’s comments:

Why are our tissues so calcified when we age? What has vitamin D got to do with it???

I have lectured on this for over 35 years now and we all suffer a tendency toward secondary hyperparathyroidism. This is because our SAD diet supplies on average 1400 mg of phosphorus and only 800 mg of calcium. This stresses our endocrine system and we get secondary hyperparathyroidism, as a result that leads to weak bones and hard calcified arteries. See text and CALCIPHYLAXIS by Hans Selye published by Univ of Chicago Press.

What this article shows you is that higher levels of vitamin D clearly help overcome this serious but nearly epidemic Endocrine condition. Vitamin D then can lead to less bone pathology and if bones are better mineralized, less of the calcium will wind up in blood vessels and you can achieve better blood vessel elasticity.

Excerpt:

“Hyperthyroidism” is when the thyroid gland is overactive instead of underactive. It secretes too much thyroid hormone. In this case, more of a good thing is definitely not better. Excess thyroid hormone can cause rapid heartbeat. Body temperature is elevated. The hyperthyroid individual may experience extreme weight loss, in spite of a huge appetite, because they burn up calories too fast. Hyperthyroidism can make a person nervous, emotionally unstable, and unable to sleep.

From Garry Gordon, MD:

This PROTOCOL will dramatically improve almost any skin condition for any patient. Always think systemically; always deal with foods that are sensitizing the patient and toxins and infections that are not necessarily just skin infections.

Please get an atomizer from Longevity Plus and fill it 50/50 with Quinton Marine Plasma Hypertonic and ACS 200 and spray often. Alternate that with sprays from ACZ Nano, which if not responding we can make stronger by putting one ZeoGold cap in 2 ounces of good water, let it hydrate and draw off the top 10 cc or two tsp. Use that to “spike” the ACZ Nano after 10 cc have been used or put in water and drank but that way we have POWERFUL HEALING from the stronger Zeolite form in ZeoGold that I find even helps cancer lesions on the skin. 

When using Quinton always take at least 3-4 of the Isotonic orally to maximize effect but spraying it is amazing particularly with the help of the other suggestions. Get two atomizers to use up the 10 cc or simply drink the residual contents.

Longevity Plus also has the strongest topical Aloe Vera used in nursing homes by Carrasyn. Use that lightly on the skin, as it will dry and form a thin film helping the other spray applications become longer acting.

Always top off the program with MY INFECTION PROGRAM. Orally use 5 days of high dose Vit A, 300-500,000 units each day, and always use high dose Vit D, 5000 a day, and Immuni-T2, three bid, and use the ACS 200 orally, 1 ounce to start then 25 sprays tid, which is 1/2 ounce daily, for days or weeks depending on condition. 

But EVERYONE has to learn my FIGHT program and the oral program here will help skin recover by lowering total body burden of pathogens but all skin is an accessory detox organ so soak in tub with Beyond Clean (EDTA) and follow instructions on the jar to alternate with Epsom then vinegar, etc.

Always use my Power Drink (MACA, Beyond Fiber, BIOEN’R-G’Y C and Organic Green) with Beyond Chelation-Improved and ZeoGold, as I can show you that even lifetime disfiguring psoriasis or other impossible eczema etc will always respond to my FIGHT program. Always increase Omega 3 to 4 caps daily for a month in addition to the one cap in each BC-I packet but the primrose in those is essential too. The diet is tough, stop sensitizing foods; listen to my webinars on FOOD and FIGHT and SILVER to learn more.

Nod (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain) 1 and Nod2 are intracellular PRMs (pattern-recognition molecules) of the NLR (Nod-like receptor) family. These proteins are implicated in the detection of bacterial peptidoglycan and regulate pro-inflammatory pathways in response to bacteria by inducing signalling pathways such as NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB) and MAPKs (mitogen-activated protein kinases). The Nod proteins act independently of the TLR (Toll-like receptor) cascade, but potently synergize with the latter to trigger innate immune responses to microbes. Most importantly, mutations in Nod2 have been shown to confer susceptibility to several chronic inflammatory disorders, including Crohn’s disease, Blau syndrome and early-onset sarcoidosis, underscoring the role of Nod2 in inflammatory homoeostasis. This review summarizes the most recent findings in the field of Nod1 and Nod2 research.

Abstract

The innate immune system comprises several classes of pattern recognition receptors, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs), and RIG-1-like receptors (RLRs). TLRs recognize microbes on the cell surface and in endosomes, whereas NLRs and RLRs detect microbial components in the cytosol. Here we discuss the recent understanding in NLRs. Two NLRs, NOD1 and NOD2, sense the cytosolic presence of the peptidoglycan fragments meso-DAP and muramyl dipeptide, respectively, and drive the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and the transcription factor NF-kappaB. A different set of NLRs induces caspase-1 activation through the assembly of large protein complexes named inflammasomes. Genetic variations in several NLR members are associated with the development of inflammatory disorders. Further understanding of NLRs should provide new insights into the mechanisms of host defense and the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract

The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor (NLR) (nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat containing) family of proteins has been demonstrated to function as regulators of innate immune response against microbial pathogens. Stimulation of NOD1 and NOD2, two prototypic NLRs, results in the activation of MAPK and NF-kappaB. On the other hand, a different set of NLRs induces caspase-1 activation through the assembly of an inflammasome. This review discusses recent findings regarding the signaling pathways utilized by NLR proteins in the control of caspase-1 and NF-kappaB activation, as well as the nonredundant role of NLRs in pathogen clearance. The review also covers advances regarding the cellular localization of these proteins and the implications this may have on pathogen sensing and signal transduction.

The senate hearing is beginning to realize we have poisoned our planet and the toxins now in everyone are not causing just autism but they are contributing to every degenerative condition. Yes, the vaccines are bad, and YES we predispose us to the bad outcome by the nutrient deficiencies, including Omega 3 oil, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Iodine, the correct methylated form of folic acid and marginal levels of B12.

US Senate Hearing on Autism: It’s The Environment Not The Gene Pool

“We should also look back to the history of drug regulation.  It took the Thalidomide epidemic for us to take action.  Perhaps autism is the equivalent for environmental chemicals.” 

By Anne Dachel
We woke up to a different world on Tuesday, August 3, 2010.  With barely any notice, the autism community heard that the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Children’s Health would be holding a hearing entitled, “State of Research on Potential Environmental Health Factors with Autism and Related Neurodevelopment Disorders.” 

View archived webcast

As someone who follows autism in the news, this was a shock.  I’m used to stories like the recent series published on the Psychology Today blog by Dr. James Coplan.  He couldn’t make it any clearer.  Autism is something that has always been around–we’ve just expanded the definition and doctors are better at recognizing it.  The numbers haven’t increased.  

We’re all so used to hearing about the genetics of autism.  The explosion in autism is a mystery and no one seems in too big a hurry to solve it.  We’re told we just need more autism awareness and we’ve been conditioned to accept the reality of one percent of children being on the spectrum.  

So today was different.  Members of the U.S. Senate would be hearing about how the environment is linked to autism. 

Linda’s comments….ok folks LISTEN UP and pay attention….Dr Gordon sent this post to his private health care professionals email group commenting on what Dr Mercola had sent to his newsletter lists….IT IS ALL TRUE…..I like the idea of organizing either patient office base, OR parents who are concerned….If you do organize a group make sure you research your STATE LAWS on vaccinations….also check the State Laws where your child will attend college.  It is time we ALL start taking a stand against being forced by the government and schools to take the toxic vaccines…..Personally I would NEVER advise anyone to take vaccines….my heart breaks for our military …they are forced and a large percentage of them become very sick and are a mess when discharged from the military….what is worse is our federal government DROPS THEM ON THEIR HEAD AND DON’T CARE……

Vitamins and Teenagers: A Personal Statement
by Stephen H. Brown, PhD

(OMNS, Jan 26, 2010) In our house, vitamin supplements sit on the counter in open bowls like nuts, dried fruits, or jelly beans.

Colds, respiratory illnesses, intestinal viruses, mono, and other infectious diseases are constantly present in American schools. In response, my teenage kids have placed four bowls on the kitchen counter – a large one in the middle full of vitamin C surrounded by three smaller bowls of niacin, vitamin D, and thiamine tablets. They help themselves to the vitamins when they feel the need, and many of their friends have adopted the idea as well. Regularly, the kids report that the vitamins actually work. The most frequent comments are, “Wow, I can breath through my nose again!”, and “I was sure I was getting sick yesterday but I feel fine today.” Continued

There can be no question that Vitamin D deficiency is a major factor that must be addressed whenever children are failing to thrive!
Do not fail to read Dr. Cannell’s comments about this case report at the bottom of this report – this is NOT JUST ABOUT AUTISM – this applies to everyone. How much Vitamin D do we need to get levels up in the ideal range?
“ …your pediatrician knows little about Vitamin D other than what committees tell him; your decision to ignore his advice probably saved your son’s brain from further injury” (excerpt of Dr. Cannell’s comments) Continued

Yet another tragedy of a young teen becoming paralyzed from taking the H1N1 flu shot!!  Of course the family is devastated from their decision of giving their beautiful 16 yr old daughter the H1N1 flu vaccine.  I strongly suggest that you do thorough research on the devastation that many families are going through.
