Pre-Natal Vitamin for Father Too?

Most people know that females looking to conceive should take a prenatal vitamin that includes folic acid.  I encourage the prenatal vitamin to include a certain type of folic acid called methyl-folate, not just the inactivated folic acid form because some people can’t use the inactivated form.  That’s another discussion though.  What is fascinating is that science is now showing us that the father’s diet may affect fetus development.  A study published in Nature Communications (10 December 2013) on mice linked folate deficiencies in the paternal diet to a higher rate of birth defects compared with those whose fathers received adequate folate.  

The findings raise concerns about dad’s unknowingly passing on harmful traits through molecular markers on their sperm’s DNA.  This is epigenetics.  That is, the genes don’t change but certain molecular parts of the genes that the sperm gives turn off and on.  Study author said that “we should be looking carefully at the way a man is living his life”.  “Environmental exposure is remembered in the developing sperm and transmitted to offspring”.  The take home message is this:  Since it takes human males about three months to produce fully grown sperm from stem cells, Kimmins speculates that men trying to have children should try cleaning up their diets even temporarily.  She states “If a man has been living a bad, unhealthy lifestyle, he will not only improve his own health but the health of his offspring”.  So, while no study to my knowledge shows that all men looking to conceive should start a pre-natal vitamin, it is definitely a good idea to at least clean up the diet and start eating nutrient dense foods.

Do You Have Mercury-based Dental Fillings? Uh-Oh.

While the FDA has long denied any harm from amalgam (50% mercury-based) fillings, a new study cites FDA data to demonstrate the fact that dental amalgam may indeed cause mercury poisoning in genetically susceptible children.  Are you appalled?  I sure am, especially since it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to think that mercury might not be the best thing to chew on (sarcasm).  What does it mean?  

A reanalysis of a key clinical trial cited by the FDA as evidence for the safety of amalgams (BioMetals Feb 2014, Vol 27, Issue 1, pp 19-24) asserts that mercury vapor from dental amalgam appears to contribute significantly to mercury body burden, and that this exposure contributes significantly to mercury body burden and cause harm to genetically susceptible individuals.  The report notes that many Americans with amalgams are exposed to unsafe levels of mercury vapor according to well-established regulatory standards.  This is one of 2 major studies that the FDA and American Dental Association base their claims of safety on.  However, this recent report is from an independent team that reanalyzed in more detail the more important of the 2 major studies.  Measurable brain deficits, particularly attention deficit.  According to lead author, Kristin Holmes, “We’re concerned because mercury appears to be the most biochemically plausible explanation for many mysterious conditions, from developmental disorders to neurodegenerative conditions.”

Here is a link to the actual report.

Given that approximately 180 million Americans have dental fillings and half of those are mercury-based, I echo the concern that not only should dentists stop using amalgam fillings, but they should be outlawed.

To Get Or Not To Get The FLU Shot? ... and the best ways to cure the FLU if you do get it.

Flu season is upon us now and is sure to spread.  Social media outlets are frenzied over the flu shot debate.  “To get or not to get the flu shot”.  As a physician, I am very often asked this exact question.  My answer is that it is a complicated decision and depends on your beliefs, your genetics, and your current health.  As an integrative physician, my goal is both inform you and to get at the root cause of a condition and build your health from the ground up. 

Like antibiotics, vaccines have been touted as a medical breakthrough that has saved many lives.  And they undoubtedly have!  However, the country’s one-size-fits-all, and sometimes extremely high number of mandatory, vaccination policies are not in the best interest of your individual health.

Many of the ingredients added into vaccines are known carcinogens and detergents that have harmful or unknown effects on the human body. Package inserts for Fluarix and Fluvirin even state that they are uncertain as to whether or not your fertility will be affected by the vaccine (fertility has been steadily declining over the past several decades).

Let’s learn more about what ingredients are in these vaccines and specifically, what is in the flu vaccine?

Aluminum gels or salts of aluminum, which are added as adjuvants to help the vaccine stimulate a better response to the vaccine.  Aluminum is a recognized neurotoxin that can adversely affect the central nervous system and cause cognitive deficiency and dementia if it enters the brain. Numerous studies have linked aluminum to Alzheimer’s disease.

Antibiotics, which are added to some vaccines to prevent the growth of germs (bacterial) during production and storage of the vaccine. The antibiotics hidden in the flu vaccine include neomycin, streptomycin, or penicillin, which can cause severe allergic reactions in many people. 

Egg protein is found in influenza vaccines, which are prepared using chicken eggs.  Beware if you can’t eat egg products without poor reactions.

Formaldehyde is used to inactivate bacterial products for toxoid vaccines.  Formaldehyde is used in “inactivated” vaccines which are almost all of the flu vaccines available on the market.  It is also used to kill unwanted viruses and bacteria that might contaminate the vaccine during production. Formaldehyde is a powerful chemical used as a disinfectant and preservative in mortuaries and medical labs. It is listed as a human carcinogen in the 12th Report on Carcinogens published by the National Toxicology Program.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) and 2-phenoxy-ethanol, which are used as stabilizer in a few vaccines to help the vaccine remain unchanged when the vaccine is exposed to heat, light, acidity, or humidity. 

Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative that is added to vials of vaccine that contain more than one dose to prevent contamination and growth of potentially harmful bacteria. Studies have demonstrated that thimerosal can contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases by suppressing the overall immune system and causing systemic inflammation. Due to the controversy concerning this additive, some companies have started producing thimerosal-free vaccines, which are available in a limited supply at certain pharmacies.

Polysorbate 80 is a detergent used to help drugs and chemicals cross the blood-brain barrier. Unfortunately, this stabilizer is also used to treat chronic kidney failure and can contribute to liver toxicity. Polysorbate 80 was also shown to cause “severe non-immunologic anaphylactoid reactions” in this study from 2005.

Do you really want these potentially toxic substances injected into your body, or worse, your child’s body?

Now, let’s look at their effectiveness in preventing illness.

According to a study in 2008, the influenza vaccine was only 59% successful and benefited only 36% of the healthy children over the age of 2 who received it. Another study from 2008 indicated that the number of children’s doctor visits or hospitalizations did not differ between vaccinated and non-vaccinated children measured over two consecutive flu seasons, suggesting that the influenza vaccine had very little effect on children’s overall health status. Additional studies show that flu vaccines do not prevent influenza transmission to the patients of healthcare workers.

The bottom line is that vaccination is not a foolproof way to avoid disease.  The shots do cause side effects, and sometimes those side effects are serious.

The NVIC (National Vaccine Information Center) continues to ask “is the atypical manipulation of the immune system with more and more vaccines in early life setting some children up for chronic disease and disability?  Is less better?”

They point out that American children are the most highly vaccinated children in the world (receiving 49 doses of 14 vaccines before the age of 6), and are also among the most chronically ill and disabled.  The CDC admits that one in six U.S. children is now developmentally delayed.  During the past quarter century, the number of children with learning disabilities, ADHD, asthma, and diabetes has more than tripled.  More than twice as many children have chronic brain and immune system dysfunction today than did in the 1970s when half as many vaccines were given to children.

Natural Alternatives for Preventing & Treating the Flu (or a simple cold):

The best treatment for any flu (or cold) is always prevention, which includes supporting your immune system. Eating well, getting proper rest and exercise are paramount. What else can the average busy American do to minimize their chances of getting sick this fall and winter?

Here are some simple suggestions:

Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly

This is the number one way to prevent the flu and other respiratory infections.  You must scrub your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds in order to kill viruses. Twenty seconds is about how long it takes to sing the ABC’s one time through. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth without first washing your hands.

Heal your gut

Your gut is the gateway to health.  80% of your immune system is located in your gut. Make sure your gut is in good shape and take a high quality, multi-strained probiotic.

Reduce alcohol and sugar consumption

Even moderate alcohol consumption suppresses the central nervous system, and therefore your immune system. Consuming too much sugar can suppress the immune system and make it more difficult for your body to fight off infections like the flu.

Reduce your stress

Stress is known to suppress our immune systems. Consider meditation, yoga, or acupuncture for additional relaxation techniques.

Get 7-9 hours of sleep every night

Your body relies on sleep to recuperate from daily exposure to toxins. Chronic sleep deprivation can significantly reduce immune function.

Take glutathione, turmeric, and vitamin C

Antioxidants are very important for your immune function. Glutathione is the chief antioxidant in your body, responsible for enhancing your immune system and helping your liver with detoxification. Curcumin is the orange pigment in turmeric and a potent antioxidant that improves joint health and cardiovascular function. Vitamin C provides potent antioxidant protection, support optimal immune function.

Eat a clove of garlic every day

Give your immune system an added boost with garlic. It's cheap, easy and effective. Using parsley with garlic when you cook will diminish the garlic taste.

Optimize vitamin D

Vitamin D is a powerful immune system modulator.  Optimal levels for best immunes system function range from 50 to 70 ng/mL.  For many that can mean taking 5000 IU per day; however, I don’t recommend this unless you are followed closely by a physician.

Consider a zinc supplement

Zinc is another powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in immune health. Within the immune system, zinc is needed for gene regulation and functioning of neutrophils, natural killer cells, and lymphocytes. Individuals with a zinc deficiency are highly susceptible to a number of pathogens, including the influenza virus.

Get plenty of exercise

Exercise can boost your immune system by increasing your circulation and relieving stress. Increased circulation allows antibodies to travel throughout your bloodstream faster, making it easier for your immune system to fight off an illness. Exercise can also enhance your immune system by relieving stress and slowing the release of stress hormones in the body.

Start your day with a fresh squeezed glass of lemon water and raw honey.  

The lemon helps to alkalinize the body and the raw honey contains natural antibiotics and antifungals.  Raw honey is also an excellent cough suppressant.

Despite your best efforts, if you still feel that you are coming down with something, or it's progressing quickly, call us right away (818-957-6909) for one of the IV’s mentioned below.  Many people opt for the wait-and-see approach. Sometimes this works, but if you wait too long, you can end up much sicker and recovering for quite awhile longer than if you started treatment sooner.

Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide can be given as an IV, and is very effective for respiratory infections.  If given at the first sign of a respiratory illness, an IV of hydrogen peroxide can typically abort an infection. 

Immune Drip

Vitamin/Mineral IVs:  Has vitmins and minerals in it, specifically high dose vitamin C, which is particularly effective for respiratory and viral infections.  

Ozone therapy

Ozone therapy has been safely and effectively used in European countries for decades.  It works for both acute and chronic infections but is particularly effective for viral infections.  You can find more information on ozone therapy on our new website.

These IV treatments are great if you find yourself sick with the Flu, a cold, or another viral/bacterial infection.

So, Who Should Get a Flu Shot?

There is quite a quandary surrounding recommendations for immunocompromised individuals such as those with autoimmune diseases who are on immune-suppressing medications. The original thought was that they would be at higher risk of getting the flu and would benefit from getting vaccinated. However, recent studies have shown that the flu vaccine is less effective in these immunocompromised individuals.  Given that thimerosal has been implicated in triggering autoimmune disease and that those with autoimmune diseases are three times more likely to develop another autoimmune disease, it would seem that the risk of getting a flu vaccine far outweighs any potential benefits.

Certainly those with chronic lung diseases like cystic fibrosis, asthma, or COPD may want to weigh the risk with the benefits, as it might be potentially life-saving in those individuals.

If you do elect to receive a flu shot, I would highly recommend a thimerosal-free vaccine, which are available in a limited supply. If you don’t already know your MTHFR gene mutations, I would definitely get them checked. If you have any mutations at this gene, it is difficult for your body to eliminate mercury from your system, even in trace amounts.  I would also caution you against taking any over-the-counter pain medications, such as tylenol, advil, or aspirin, in conjunction with your vaccine. These have been shown to reduce the effectiveness of vaccines by limiting your body’s proper immune response.  

Once again, the decision to receive vaccinations of any kind is highly individualized. My goal, as always, is to empower you with the knowledge to make the best and most informed decision you can for yourself and your health.

Guilty Vaccine Verdict in Italy.

Which vaccines to give and how many vaccines to give at once?

I actually don’t have an answer to either question.  I wish I did so that I could tell you an exact answer.

I find it interesting that an Italian tribunal has awarded 200,000 Euros to the family of Francesco Finessi, who was 22 years old when he died of non-Hogdkins lymphoma after receiving what the court ruled as “too many vaccines with very little time in between” as a soldier.

Again, which vaccines to give and how many vaccines to give at once?  “I don’t know” is my answer to both.  I found the above verdict interesting.  I don’t know the specifics of what information was presented in the Italian tribunal court, but imagine that their tribunal court takes strong evidence into consideration when reaching this type of verdict, especially considering how many additional soldiers this will undoubtedly apply too.

Aside from the ingredients of each specific vaccine coming into play, the frequency that vaccines are given is another issue to consider.  Again, I don’t know what is too frequent, but I am a fan of common sense, and in nature, it is extremely rare to be exposed to multiple life threatening infections at once, so it makes logical sense (in my mind) that it might not be best to give a child 2-5 different vaccines on the same day multiple times before even starting 1^st grade.  The immunological response that this incurs could be a catastrophe waiting to happen.  I believe that this potential catastrophe depends largely on the genetics and state of the immune system immediately before the vaccinations are given.

Ozone Therapy: Answer to Ebola?

Without further ado, you can click here to read an excerpt and/or watch a video on the power of ozone therapy.  It is Dr. Mercola interviewing Dr. Rowen about his ozone therapy knowledge.  Ozone is so powerful that Dr. Rowen is actually in Africa right now teaching doctors there how to administer the Ozone to fight Ebola.  Imagine the potential...

 

This is so good that you might want to share this with others...

Ozone and other oxidation therapies have a multitude of uses, especially for acute infections of just about any sort. 

I will say that I have had the privilege of training under Dr. Rowen to learn the ozone therapy that we do in my office now.  Dr. Rowen is one of the three main ozone gurus in the U.S.  Both Dr. Anne Kuo and myself will actually be attending another of his lectures this November in Las Vegas where he will fill us in on his Ebola-fighting Africa trip.  Can't wait!

ANTIBIOTIC SYNDROME – Are You a Victim? SIX Ways to Avoid It

Do you suffer from chronic indigestion, abdominal bloating, colitis, frequent stools or constipation, fatigue, repeated colds and flu, anxiety or depression?  Do you know or have a child with any of these symptoms?  If the answer is YES, then you’ve probably been treated with antibiotics and antibiotic syndrome is partially to blame.  Antibiotic syndrome exists due to antibiotics severely damaging your gut flora.  

Leads to Antibiotic Syndrome

‘Gut flora’ is the bacteria living in the entire GI tract but especially in the small and large intestines.  Everyone has a different mixture of various types of gut flora.  No one on earth has the same gut flora.  It’s like a fingerprint.  We are all unique.  And, the average adult has 3-5 pounds of gut flora (bacteria) in our intestines at all times.  Now that’s a crap load of bacteria in us!  The flora in our gut has many functions including helping us to digest our food properly, improving our immunity protecting us from bad organisms, regulating our stooling patterns, helping to form and balance our neurotransmitters, and helping to regulate hormones.  Taking antibiotics changes this gut flora by killing much of it off and thereby altering our digestion, neurotransmitters and hormones.  So taking antibiotics gives us abnormal gut flora which is dysbiosis which is antibiotic syndrome. 

Let me make it clear that antibiotics can be very useful and even life-saving when given for the right situation.  The problem is that doctors hand antibiotics prescriptions out like it is candy at Halloween.  Around 7-10 times more often than they should for coughs and sore throats.  How many times have you been prescribed an antibiotic for a cough or sore throat? 

Antibiotic syndrome is more alive than ever today.  30-50% of the U.S. population suffers from it.  This means that chances are pretty good that you do too!  To make matters worse, the litany of antibiotic syndrome symptoms are examined, tested and treated as completely different diagnoses with more antibiotics and other powerful drugs month after month and year after year often snowballing the effects.  Imagine, being prescribed an antidepressant all because of an unnecessary antibiotic to begin with.

30-50% of the population equates to millions of Americans (and maybe you) walking around doubled over with abdominal pain, unable to eat most foods, crippled with arthritis, agonizing over severe skin conditions, worn out of energy, in a brain fog or emotionally disabled with depression or paralyzed with anxiety… all due to antibiotic syndrome… caused by their doctors.  Please note that some of you are guilty of visiting the doctor with a sore throat, cough or sinus infection and demanding or even subtly threatening a malpractice lawsuit if they don’t prescribe antibiotics.  If you are that person.  Stop it!  You’re not doing yourself any favors.

So, what can you do if you suffer from Antibiotic Syndrome or dysbiosis and have any of the above mentioned symptoms?

#1.  Stop the downhill spiral of taking powerful, destructive antibiotics that should be completely avoided except as a last resort treatment or when truly needed.

#2.  Rebuild your gut flora with a high quality probiotics.  ProSynbiotics 2 twice daily for 6 months to a year is a good idea.

#3.  Heal the Lining of Your Intestines.  GI Revive 2 twice daily for 6 months to a year is beneficial.

#4.  Improve your stomach acid.  Most people have too little stomach acid which makes it extra difficult to digest your food protein which then alters your gut flora.  If you have inadequate stomach acid then Zypan 2 per meal will help.  If you have indigestion or heartburn that worsens from the Zypan, please do not take it.  The vast majority of people find their indigestion improves with Zypan.

#5.  Eat vegetables, protein from healthy sources, and good fats.  Avoid sugar and processed foods.

#6.  Use natural therapies to prevent and kill illness like colds, flu, bronchitis, sinusitis and pneumonia.  Natural therapies actually work in the 90% of cases that antibiotics don’t too.  Maybe these ‘natural therapy’ options will be my next blog post.
