October 23, 2023 Puzzle Piece

FILTER YOUR WATER OR DIE SOONER

I have used an article from Dr Mercola for much of this Puzzle Piece.  It tells the story of good and bad water.  I wrote in an article recently, a Dr Marc Harris’s quote, “the three most important substances for our health, in order, are Air, Water and Magnesium”.
 
Story at-a-glance on water
  • More than half of the chemicals found in U.S. drinking water are unregulated, and many of the legal limits may be too lenient for safety
  • Firefighting foam used on military bases and other fire testing sites have contaminated many water tables across the U.S. with PFCs — chemicals linked to thyroid disease and cancer
  • Agricultural runoff, prescription drugs flushed down the sewer, and aging water pipes are other significant sources of water pollution

The system I use and have used in my past three houses is the Dana System.  Contact Dana Water for free testing: GAIL DANA, OFFICE: 480-396-4778    CELL: 480-584-7614.  He is quick to help us in the quest for good and safe water for drinking and in whole-house use.
 
If you care about your health, filtering your household water is more a necessity, more than an option for these days. Water pollution has become a very significant problem that simply cannot be ignored.

It doesn't matter where you live, as many of the most dangerous chemicals find their way into the ecosystem and food chain, spreading from one continent to another, as described in a recent article by Prevent Disease.
 
Fish and other wildlife are demonstrating the ramifications of out of control water pollution, and chemical pollution may be affecting human health as well, even if the effects are not always as directly traceable.  

The sources of pollution are many, ranging from agricultural runoff and industrial releases, outworn pipes, firefighting foam and pharmaceutical drugs, and even the chemicals used during water treatment themselves.

As noted by The New York Times:
"Radon, arsenic and nitrates are common pollutants in drinking water, and trace amounts of drugs including antibiotics and hormones have also been found ...
But water contaminants and water quality vary from one local water utility to another, so you want to purchase a filter that is effective at capturing the right contaminants.

You can request a copy of your water utility's annual water quality report — called a right-to-know or consumer confidence report — to find out which contaminants in your local water are of concern ..."

Many Chemicals Found in Municipal Water Are Unregulated
Clean, pure water is essential for health, and it is strongly encouraged you to filter the water you use both for drinking and bathing.
Research demonstrates, immersing yourself in contaminated water may be even more hazardous to your health than drinking it, as the chemicals absorbed through your skin go directly into your blood stream, bypassing your digestive and internal filtration systems.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates tap water in the U.S., but while there are legal limits on many of the contaminants permitted in municipal water supplies, more than half of the 300+ chemicals detected in U.S. drinking water are not regulated at all. According to Paul Pestano, a research analyst with the Environmental Working Group (EWG), some of the legal limits may also be too lenient for safety.
 
For several years, the EWG has argued that the federal government needs to perform a nationwide assessment of drinking water quality and invest more to protect against water pollution in the first place.

So far, it has done neither, which led the EWG to create its own drinking water quality database, covering 48,000 communities in the U.S. Among the top-rated water utilities are Arlington, Texas, Providence, Rhode Island, and Forth Worth, Texas. At the bottom of the list are Pensacola, Florida, Riverside, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Firefighting Foam Has Contaminated U.S. Drinking Water

An in-depth article in The Intercept presents the personal story of Lori Cervera, which reveals just how dangerous polluted drinking water can be. At the age of 46, Cervera was diagnosed with kidney cancer, which she traced back to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exposure — a chemical used in the production of Teflon and firefighting foam and flame retardants, among other things.

As reported by The Intercept:
"Research on people in West Virginia and Ohio who had consumed water contaminated by leaks from a nearby DuPont factory showed probable links between the chemical and six diseases, including kidney cancer.

Cervera soon discovered that the very same chemical, as well as a related one, PFOS, had been found in drinking water in her area. Both were part of a larger class known as perfluorinated chemicals, or PFCs, 'emerging contaminants' that were still being studied — and had yet to be regulated.
And, according to public notices from the local water and sewer authorities, both had come from foam that was used to put out airplane fires and train soldiers at two nearby military bases ..."

Many Areas Around Military Bases Are Affected by PFC Contamination

PFCs are extremely persistent. They have a half-life in the human body of about four years, provided no more is taken in, and can persist in the environment indefinitely, unless actively removed.

It may seem remarkable that putting out a few airplane fires would severely contaminate local water supplies to the point of threatening human health, considering how rare such events are. But as noted in the featured article, the foam is also used in firefighting training exercises, which are quite common.  
Since the 1960s, thousands of firefighting exercises have been conducted at the military bases near Cervera's home.

Each time 75 to 100 liters of firefighting foam is dispensed into a fire pit constructed without barriers to contain the toxic foam. From there, it's simply allowed to sink through the earth into the water table.

The same problem exists around other military bases in the U.S. Testing has revealed PFCs in the drinking water around Willow Grove, Pease; the Eielson base in Alaska; the Air National Guard base in Delaware; the Grissom Air Reserve Base in Indiana; and the Naval Air Station in Fallon, Nevada.

."Toxic Drinking Water Becoming More Common Around the U.S.

Each year, red flags over toxic drinking water are raised across the nation, with reasons varying from location to location.
Agriculture Is a Major Threat to Water Quality

In 2014, citizens in Toledo, Ohio were warned not to drink their tap water as it was found to contain significantly elevated levels of microcystins, likely caused by algae blooms in Lake Erie. Microsystins are nerve toxins produced by freshwater cyanobacteria that can cause fever, headaches, vomiting, and seizures.

In 2015, Lake Erie was again beset by toxic algae blooms, which feed on phosphorus from manure, sewage, and fertilizer runoff that enters the lake. Other affected lakes in Ohio include Buckeye Lake and Grand Lake St. Mary’s, and residents are warned not to swim in the latter.
 
Recent research suggests many of the world's lakes are at risk due to farm fertilizer runoff, which feeds harmful blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). Once this alga is established, it's more difficult to get rid of it than previously thought.
 
Now, with Roundup being used extensively in farming and home use, the danger has probably never been higher.
 
At-Home Water Filtration Is a Must for Clean Pure Water

Since most water sources are severely polluted, the issue of water filtration and purification couldn't be more important. If you have well water, it would be prudent to have your water tested for arsenic and other contaminants. If you have public water, you can get local drinking water quality reports from the EPA.

February 8, 2021 Puzzle Piece

Protect Your Heart at All Costs

Studies show that people with heart disease, including congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease, have a higher risk for serious complications from the flu. During the 2018–2019 flu season, 47% of adults hospitalized with the flu also had heart disease.
 
Research has shown that people with heart conditions, including coronary artery disease and heart failure, have a higher risk of developing a severe case of Covid-19 and other virus infections. Results from the study of more than 14,000 patients across the United States show the heavy impact of cardiac disease on hospitalized COVID patients, having a mortality rate of 25-38%.
 
Why Does an Unhealthy Heart Make Cold and Flu More Dangerous?
Science has known since the early 1900s that infectious agents exacerbate atherosclerosis. People with heart disease and those who have had a stroke are at higher risk for developing serious complications from the flu and other virus infections.  Among adults hospitalized with flu during recent flu seasons, about half of them had heart disease. Studies revealed the risk of heart attack was 6 times higher within a week of confirmed flu infection. These findings were most pronounced for older adults and those experiencing their first heart attack.
 
Additionally, another study looked at more than 80,000 U.S. adults hospitalized with flu over eight flu seasons (2010-11 through 2017-18) found that sudden, serious heart complications were common and occurred in one out of every eight patients.
 
The possible reason is Inflammation.  Flu causes inflammation that affects all parts of the body, including the heart. In certain people, the inflammation can be so bad it causes a heart attack. The combined inflammation and added stress on the body also stresses the heart to the point where it can lead to heart failure and/or arrhythmia.
 
COVID-19 and Your Heart
COVID-19 can cause viral myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. It appears the coronavirus essentially attacks the heart. Current figures are showing that between 20% and 25% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 have some degree of myocardial inflammation.
 
It is possible this virus can cause long-term heart damage. The good news is that you don’t have to wait and find out the hard way. You can take care of your heart immediately with a pure, potent, blend of therapeutic nutrients that help the body fight infection and support the heart for health and healing.
 
Opti-Immune VRL opti_immune_smis a good choice to assist the body in bosting the immune system in prevention and active response to the infection.  It is a synergistic whole spectrum natural and predigested nutraceutical.        
 
Opti-Heart’s Key Nutrients

opti_heart_sm


Opti-Heart provides micronutrients, antioxidants, amino acids, herbs, and glandulars to help support heart health. The predigested glandulars in this formula give Opti-Heart an extra boost to achieve higher therapeutic levels.

This formula contains key nutrients like vitamin C, E and Selenium with a total of 14 research-backed ingredients shown to have a positive impact on heart health.  All these ingredients are sourced for purity and potency and are predigested to create up to 300% better absorption.
 
Vitamin C - It is a key component in the production of collagen, the main protein found in blood vessel connective tissue. Prospective studies suggest that 100mg of vitamin C per day can support cardiovascular health.
 
Vitamin E - A fat-soluble antioxidant, vitamin E is shown to protect cell membranes and blood vessel endothelium.
 
CoQ10, Magnesium & L-Carnitine - These three nutrients play critical roles in helping feed your ever-beating heart for overall health and energy.
 
Glandulars - Opti-Heart takes advantage of including safely sourced heart, spleen, and pituitary extracts from bovine glandulars out of Argentina. Together, they provide a complete array of tissue support for your heart.
 
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF), Potassium, Hawthorn Extract, Taurine & L-Arginine - Five key nutrients that have been shown to support the heart and blood vessel health to allow a healthy heartbeat.
 
5MTHF helps by lowering homocysteine levels, thus lowering the risk for heart attack, stroke and other degenerative diseases. Hawthorne appears to be a safe, effective, nontoxic agent in the treatment of CVD and ischemic heart disease. Potassium can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
 
Taurine is shown to help reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. It reduces high blood pressure by decreasing the resistance to blood flow in your blood vessel walls. It may also minimize nerve impulses in your brain that increase blood pressure. L-arginine further helps improve blood flow, especially in your heart.
 
Dosing
Take two capsules daily or otherwise directed by a health professional.

March 11, 2024 Puzzle Piece

The Elite Athlete – Win or Ruin?

Practitioners,

As you read this case history, please verify if you would have known exactly what to do and how to assist this patient.  What the article does not say is this patient had been previously diagnosed with ALS.  Of course, I do not treat ALS or Cancer etc.  But I do treat people to help them to be as healthy and balanced as possible no matter what label has been given them.

The other concept to me I want to convey, after practicing 53 years, is we must identify and treat the cause/s of each patient’s condition and not chase symptoms.  The other realization I have earned in these many years is you have to stay on top of the treatment until the patient is stable or you may have to start over again or the patient feels you have failed them.  All Six Steps to Wellness needs to be addressed and corrected.

If you ever wanted to master the Six Steps to Wellness, now is the time.  Contact Jason at 480-964-5198 and sign up for our limited entry Certification Course.  Details are below the article.

Patient BB is an Elite Athlete, an incredible individual and a winner in Varsity Tennis starting as a sophomore. A straight A student until in the Junior year when symptoms started to appear of foggy brain, light sensitivity, loss of ambition, joint pain playing tennis and loss of understanding/ambition of school subjects and even tennis.  Her body and mind couldn’t make the ball in her left hand go where it was supposed to into position for the right hand and racket to slam it into the opponent’s court as it always had before.

Here is what we found:  Adrenal Fatigue -when testing a strong-arm muscle, we stretch the shoulder joint and the muscle got very weak.  The same with leg muscles.  In testing quadriceps that were strong, stretching the hip joint or having her run-in place for 30 seconds made the quads very weak.  We gave her OPTI-ADRENAL (OHS) to reverse this finding for nutritional support at one capsule, two to three times per day and one especially before playing tennis.

OptiAdrenal_sm

In her tennis match both ankles started to hurt and give out.  Her back became painful and when looking toward the sun, her eyes watered and blurred. In adrenal compromise the eyes are dilated too much.  Her thinking was not clear to play out in her mind what needed to happen fast enough to be as good as she had always been.   All of this points to adrenal fatigue and getting close to adrenal exhaustion.  As we exercise or have stress by other means, the adrenals have to increase function to keep up with the demands of stress or we damage ligaments, muscles, and joints.  We also impair brain function as the adrenals play a large role in regulation of arterial expansion and contraction and the glucose balance of the brain and body.

Yesterday upon examination following tennis matches, we found a Cat. II PI right hip, which means the right sacroiliac joint (SI) subluxated, which involves injured sacroiliac ligaments.  When the right hip moves backwards and twists, the left innominate moves forward because of the symphysis pubes articulation.  This rotation affects the femur heads in the acetabulum and then the knees, ankles, and feet. The are 31 bones in the lower extremity on each side, with muscle, ligaments and fascia all being distorted. You cannot distort the lower body without distorting the entire neuromuscular, craniosacral, and complete fascia of the total body, including the brain and intestines (gut).

We all know this logically, but we must correct these distortions or have many, many symptoms present and have the patient go from doctor to doctor and take many different types of pills to get relief.  My thought process is DC stands for doctor of cause.  We must identify the multiple causes of dysfunction and correct all of them, not cover them up.

To correct this distortion and the neuromuscular and neurological dysfunction, I blocked SOT style the hips bilateral.  To correct the fascia, I used percussor on her shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, TMJ and cranium.  When you get a sacroiliac subluxation of this magnitude, the cranium will also distort and the TMJ subluxate.  The percussor is the best and fastest way to correct this complex scenario.

I tested her nutritional reflexes and found her also to need support to the thyroid and pituitary.  I tested a group muscle of the arm ten times in a row, and she got extremely weak at contraction 3.  I gave her an OPTI-MITO-FORCE, which increases mitochondrial resuscitation.  I could then test here ten times is a row with to muscle weakening. I told her to take a minimum of one, twice per day.

opti_mito_force_sm

With the cranial distortion and pituitary testing weak, I did a cranial pituitary pump, percussed the cranium very specifically and gave her nutrition support of OPTI-GLANDULAR.   I ask her to read and follow the FIBER FUELED book on proper diet.

We also used the color chart, tuning forks, spinal and spindle cell balancing for the Five Factors of Neurological Balance (Central Integration).

METHYLATION, SNPs and EPIGENETICS.

May 14, 2018 Puzzle Piece

dna

Marc Harris, ND, MD, PhD is the author of today’s Puzzle Piece and will be teaching the evaluation, understanding and treatment of METHYLATION and genetic SNP’s beginning June 23-24, 2018, in the Seattle region.
 
He has developed a presentation that will allow your understanding of the complicated life-giving process of methylation.  He has formulated nutrition for each step that might be blocked or stressed due to genetic SNP’s.  This is available through OHS:  800-890-4547.
 
On July 20-22-18 Dr Harris and I will teach a Stem Cell class in the Denver Colorado area (Parker).  We will demonstrate the use of Biological Allographs, Ozone, PRP and Neurotherapy to complement the Six Steps to Wellness and the whole food, predigested OHS Nutrition.
 
We will expand on how to use Opti-MagnaStem, Opti-Brain, Opti-Mito-Force, along with the other many natural non-GMO whole food preparations.


 
Epigenetics is the umbrella term describing all aspects of genetic control.
 
The human genome project was completed in 2003 to much ballyhoo and as described by then President Clinton as “We are here to celebrate the completion of the first survey of the entire human genome. Without a doubt, this is the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind.”

By far the most studied of all epigenetic is Methylation.  In a nutshell Methylation controls our DNA, Brain Chemistry, detoxification, hormone balance, and energy production, along with mitochondria.

There is a split in the biological research community.  One group claims methylation takes place 2 billion times per second.  Another group says it is 1 billion times per second. Someone had a lot of time on their hands: al least 1 second.  It seems a moot point.


 
dna_methyl 2
 
What we have learned for the methylation cycle is there can and are single changes to genes (SNP’s, single nucleotide polymorphisms) and these can have a profound effect of how the genes code for the proteins resulting in protein coding errors.  This can result to a 0-100% reduction in function.  Some of the SNPs are not consistent with life.  Some are irrelevant.  Some are not consistent with optimal health.

A SNP may occur in a non-coding region.  These generally have no effect on the protein.  If in a coding region it can have minor to major effects.

There have been estimates of 10 million SNPS.  Estimates are that everyone has 1000 SNPs on average.   Depending on where the SNP occurs, it will be more or less of a problem.  Still, how do you figure out 1000 SNPs.  Who has that kind of time or technology?  Dr Marc Harris developed a way…

The are vitamins and nutrients that either act as a cofactor or structural component of an enzyme.  If an enzyme has poor structure, due to a SNP,  additional cofactors or structural nutrients may bring the enzyme back to function.  Sometimes we have to provide the enzyme.

The list of methylation caused or contributed to diseases grows day by day.

 
frequently

Including:
  • Diabetes
  • Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Cancer
  • Pulmonary Embolism
  • Addictive Behavior, including alcoholism
  • Insomnia
  • Autism or down’s syndrome
  • Frequent miscarriages
  • Bipolar or manic depression
  • Allergies or Multiple Chemical Sensitivities
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Spina Bifida or Cleft Palate or Neural Tube Defects
  • Multiple Sclerosis and other Autoimmune Disorders
  • Hashimoto’s or Hypothyroidism
  • ADD or ADHD
  • Dementia/Alzheimer’s
  • Schizophrenia
  • Anxiety
  • Neuropathy
  • Chronic Viral Infections
 
As previoudly stated, this list continues to grow!
 
The key is to determine the most important SNPs.  These are the SNPs that have the largest impact on health.  When corrected, these are the SNPs that take our patients from good to great.  These are the patients for whom we may have done everything right.  The Six Step to Wellness are all in place.  They eat well.  Yet, they may still not be getting better.  These are the important SNPs.

Most physiacians measure MTHFR, give ther patients methyfolate and call it a day.  The most important thing to realize is the genes and enzymes work together.  If you treat an MTHFR and don’t know what is happening downstream in those SNPs, you will make this patient worse.  There are a managable number of SNPs (30 or so) the we need to understand (not just MTHFR) to figure out this piece of the health puzzle that takes are patients out of a hole and from good health to optimal health.

We look forward to seeing you in a seminar soon where Dr Harris will give you an understanding and the tools to make a difference.
