October 23, 2023 - FILTER YOUR WATER OR DIE SOONER
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 - Protect Your Heart at All Costs
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 is
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
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 - The Elite Athlete – Win or Ruin?
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.
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.
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).

May 14, 2018 - METHYLATION, SNPs and EPIGENETICS.
METHYLATION, SNPs and EPIGENETICS.
May 14, 2018 Puzzle Piece
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.
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.
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.
Yours in Health and Wellness,
Marc Harris, ND, MD, PhD
