PREVENT & HEAL CHILDREN’S BRAIN DISORDERS
Start improving prospects for a healthy child early. Begin well before fertility. Traditional cultures wait up to 2½ years after a previous pregnancy. Six months before conception, they provide a highly nutritious dietary protocol.
Consume a whole-food plant-based strictly organic, non-genetically modified diet with high nutrient content. Utilize appropriate supplements under healthcare guidance including fish oil, a multivitamin-multimineral with active forms of crucial B vitamins (e.g. active folate, NOT folic acid), plenty of vitamin D3, and nighttime magnesium. Read Weston Price’s Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Avoid all prescription and over-the-counter drugs; autism recently has been connected with antidepressant use the year before delivery. Taking a multivitamin the first month of pregnancy reduced autism 50% and, in those with a common folate genetic polymorphism, by 85%.
Nutrition prior to conception will determine whether your son’s teeth will be crowded and whether your daughter will have enough room in her pelvis to prevent a C-section. Have mercury fillings removed and avoid all fish other than wild salmon or sardines twice a week to reduce heavy metal toxicity for the fetus; get heavy metals tested. Blood micronutrient analysis will identify important deficiencies to be addressed before pregnancy. Thyroid function and iodine intake are vital for fetal IQ. Homocysteine measures a key detoxification and inflammation pathway. Vitamin D levels need optimization for brain growth and detoxification. IgG food sensitivity testing reveals unnecessary inflammation that is being generated.
Work with your healthcare provider to get off of all prescription medicine, take no synthetic over-the-counter medicine, and do not allow chemicals on your skin (e.g. antiperspirants, sun lotions, lipstick). Dad’s nutrition and toxicity exposure influences the baby’s health and structure. Over 80% of pesticides used on produce promote estrogen, making organic produce mandatory. Continuing these practices through pregnancy along with regular monitoring of thyroid, vitamin D 25OH, and where necessary, micronutrient analysis promote a positive outcome.
While utilizing integrative approaches is always gratifying, it is especially so in healing children’s brain disorders. Whether dealing with distractability and impaired ability to retain information, inability to socialize and connect with the world, or managing anxiety, sadness or wildly fluctuating moods, underlying causes overlap. This includes inability to absorb reading material, agitation, aggressive behavior or muscle or vocal tics. These scenarios, we find, are nearly always biochemical in origin, and usually can be largely resolved with non-prescription biochemical interventions.
While in our world toxins, electromagnetic fields (e.g. cellphones), and poor nutrition are taking a major intellectual and emotional toll on children, these are fixable. And while more than ever, children are placed on powerful brain-controlling drugs that may leave all eventually with diminished brain capacity, and some drugs increase suicide risk, there are options. Integrative approaches promote healing, vitality, sense of wellbeing and brain growth.
Children’s brain disorders are almost fully preventable because they are a product of our modern times. With dedicated intervention, most are resolvable and virtually all improve substantially. Comprehensive biochemical assessment is necessary. In my experience, many children can grow their brain to the point of achieving better than average brain performance.
An approach that addresses the fundamental underlying causes is instrumental – symptom management is insufficient. Each child needs an assessment of autoimmune concerns including IgG hypersensitivity testing. Toxins status needs measurement. Intracellular nutrient levels are now essential, and largely account for genetic polymorphisms that are nearly always present. Supporting mitochondria in toxin-injured cells allows them to recover. Hormone imbalances need recognition and management. Impaired intestinal health, a root issue in every brain disorder child we have tested, needs full, appropriate treatment.
All of my young patients continue on fish oil, vitamin D3, a multivitamin-mineral with only ‘active’ B vitamins, and magnesium. All with brain disorders are on a casein and gluten-free diet. Specific additions are determined on blood results as well as condition-specific. The outcomes have been so pleasing – it is an enjoyable process!

FITNESS & FIBROMYALGIA, VITALITY & CHRONIC FATIGUE
In our complex world, we are bombarded with stress, toxins, and excessive artificial stimulus that inhibit the rest, peace, and recovery necessary daily for our well-being. Intermittent antibiotic therapy, genetically modified and non-organic food, along with antibiotics received from treated animals that we consume, undermine our intestinal health, setting the stage for toxins, allergens, and viral or bacterial pathogens to cross into the blood stream. Larger protein molecules are also able to enter, triggering autoimmune reactions that leave us fatigued, achy, bloated, and in a fog.
The “Five Rites”, performed daily by Tibetan monks, is a wonderful recommended way to open chakras, increase flexibility, enhance strength while taking, for me, only seven minutes. Read about them in The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth.
Fitness is a vital aspect of optimal health. Walking or gardening for a total of sixty minutes a day is recommended, and ninety minutes for those working on optimizing weight. It is an effective way to detoxify, grow your brain, and spend adrenalin in a healthy way. It supports a positive sense of wellbeing and maintains stamina. Cardiovascular health is maintained while cancer and osteoporosis are prevented.
Those of us who have vitality too often take it and healthy muscles for granted. But every week, a patient arrives with fatigue, forgetfulness, muscle aches, and often bloating. While at a glance she will look fine, underneath she wonders whether anyone understands what she is feeling.
These challenges to our bodies trigger the stress hormone, cortisol, which results in our vitality-bolstering sex hormones tanking. If this persists, our thyroid and perhaps even pituitary can become compromised. Due to our focus on caring for family members, keeping the boss happy, and strained personal relationships, we neglect ourselves. Sleep disturbance, neglect of nutriton and physical activity, and absence of meditation magnifies the situation into our body begins to exhibit signs of strain. Either we ignore our body, or have it incompletely addressed during healthcare consultation.
The complexity of our hormonal system is truly awesome. What we understand currently is a strong interdependence is present. When testosterone is low, it pulls down growth hormone. When estrogen is high, testosterone, thyroid and growth hormones are less available. Prolonged excessive production of cortisol lowers levels of sex and thyroid hormones. Absence of ovulation due to stress prevents progesterone production leading to overstimulation from estrogen, resulting in anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive thoughts, irritability, and sleep disturbance, along with swelling and weight gain.
Because of this complexity, the Midway Foundation, in conjunction with Midway College, at its Fall Conference is having national experts present on endocrinology, psychoneuroimmunology, natural approaches to women’s hormonal health, and I will share the state-of-the-art, and my experience, with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Psychoneuroimmunology explores the incredible impact of stress on our health.
While chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are largely considered mysterious, my clinical experience is the opposite – with aggressive assessment and utilizing comprehensive intervention, healing, often with complete resolution, is usually seen relatively promptly. Assessment must include food hypersensitivities, intracellular micronutrient analysis, homocysteine, ideally heavy metals, and a complete hormone battery that includes free and reverse T3, DHEA-S, IGF-1, testosterone, pregnenolone, estradiol when menopausal, and ideally estrone sulfate. Etiologies to be addressed include food hypersensitivity, impaired methylation due to genetic polymorphisms or nutrient deficiencies, mitochondrial dysfunction, toxins, intestinal and respiratory yeast, hormonal deficiencies, and nutrient imbalances. Any of these issues, singly or in combination, can be responsible. This past week, treatment with the prescription Diflucan was the most successful intervention in a persistent fibromyalgia patient, pegged as an intestinal yeast issue originating in the sinuses. Adaptogens such as ginsengs are essential for rapid recovery.

WHY TOXINS ARE NOW MORE TOXIC
You have read about phthalates, the xenoestrogens in plastic bottles. Xenoestrogens act like estrogen in our bodies, leading to higher cancer risk, weight gain, autoimmune disorders, and overstimulation including anxiety. Dioxin (Agent Orange) may also be familiar, a xenoestrogen still spewed into the air from smokestacks, and stored in the fat of animal meat. But do you realize why substances like these are much more toxic than before?
Beyond what we know to be toxic, a broader definition should include any substance we ingest that is synthetic. Toxins are simply small doses of poison. Our bodies are so intricate, so complex, that any chemical we consume will almost certainly cause damage. Many if not most preservatives in food are foreign chemicals, and therefore. in my judgement. toxic. Anything on a label you don’t readily recognize as food should, I believe, be considered toxic. These chemicals are mainly stored in fatty tissues. The brain is the fattiest organ, and the breasts often have high fat content, putting both areas at particular risk. All prescription drugs should be considered toxic and strictly used only when a thorough search for causes has been undertaken, and all other safer remedies have been exhausted, or in emergencies.
We are in the midst of an epidemic of intestinal dysfunction and autoimmune disorders. Our intestinal tracts are bombarded daily with toxins from the air, water, and food we consume. These toxins are not only injurious to the intestinal lining, but destroy our natural bacterial flora which is responsible for digesting our food, freeing up vital nutrients for absorption, and protecting intestinal integrity. As we ingest so much ‘artificial’ food, prepared in ways such as frying, microwaving, or high-temperature cooking that deforms molecules into destructive agents, growth of damaging bacteria, yeast, and other pathogens is promoted in the intestines.
Medication is often detrimental to the gastrointestinal tract. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen cause intestinal ulcerations in nearly every patient that takes them routinely. Acid-suppressing medication allows bacterial overgrowth creating an excess of harmful toxic byproducts. Antibiotics, by destroying out natural bioflora, substantially weaken the intestinal lining.
The end result of all of these toxins is that intestinal permeability is increased. The first concern here is the incompletely digested food proteins cross into blood and are considered foreign invaders; a chronic, and usually permanent, autoimmune scenario develops that can produce any conceivable symptom, and results in steady often low-grade injury throughout the body. But it doesn’t stop there. The increased permeability allows toxins to penetrate and permeate our body. These also may trigger an autoimmune response. Essentially every middle-aged adult we test for food IgG hypersensitivities has them – we virtually all have autoimmune disease. And every time we eat those foods, not only are autoimmune responses triggered, but toxin floodgates open. Because toxins can now penetrate more readily, it in essence makes every toxin more toxic.
Is it any wonder that we have an epidemic of children’s brain disorders? Is it a surprise that we have so much cancer? Do you see why we are increasingly burdened with so many chronic diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s dementia?
New research in Nature has demonstrated that mutations in schizophrenia are not just inherited but often develop from toxin impact on sperm, eggs, and the earliest embryonic stage. This toxin impact will most likely apply to all children’s brain disorders, but is addressable.
Learn all you can about brain health! A wonderful way would be to attend Midway Foundation’s Healing Young Brains conference Nov. 4-6 at the downtown Hilton (lessons learned will apply to all of us). More than ever, it is essential to breathe clean air, drink pure water, eat only organic non-genetically modified foods, and avoid hypersensitive foods identified on testing. Avoid toxins entering your body, and optimize their exit. Comprehensive stool analysis, IgG food hypersensitivity testing, and analysis of where to augment detoxification, is critical to long-term health, vitality, and longevity.

A NEW ADVANCE IN LUNG & BREAST CANCER
When providing care for a VIP client, consulting with perhaps the top oncologist in the country, I learned of a new exciting approach for lung and breast cancer. For solitary lung nodules, the success rate appears to be an impressive 82%, with considerably less morbidity, and at about a quarter the cost.
Following biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and PET scan to confirm that there are no unmanageable metastases, a needle is placed in the tumor, which can then either freeze or heat it to the point of destruction. Additional treatment is sometimes added to assure a positive outcome.
Advantages are avoiding major chest surgery that removes a section of lung, which is far more expensive, involves greater risk, more side effects, and prolonged painful recovery. Risk of cancer cells getting loose may be increased. Further, resulting from the major stress and wound, adrenal cortisol is released suppressing the immune system. Even contemplating such major surgery, with the rigors of hospitalization and associated risks, increases cortisol. This results in an environment favorable for cancer cells that escape to become implanted and grow i.e. metastasize.
Seek a multifaceted approach to strengthening the immune system prior to any initial cancer intervention. Stress levels can be reduced and the immune system strengthened to improve eradication of wayward tumor cells, minimizing metastasis risk, making the experience more enjoyable, and speeding recovery. Detailed nutritional, digestive, and lifestyle recommendations are along with research-based support provides the best opportunity for positive outcome
Get extensive cancer blood monitoring to improve the odds of identifying early tumor resurgence so that protocol modifications can be enacted. Have access to treatment ideas from leading U.S. cancer practitioners, and formal consultation with them when needed.
Utilizing this approach, we find that nearly every patient that complies with full recommendations has seen improved outcome, sometimes markedly so, relative to what could have been expected. Quality of life for many achieves a level that hasn’t been experienced in decades. Get a substantial education on factors to consider with proposed chemotherapy intervention, and perspective on other recommended approaches. Become so empowered, so educated, that you can make your own decision rather than relying on others. No one cares more about you than you!
The first patient I sent for tumor ablation sent many glowing e-mails about how impressed and pleased he was. Prospects for long-term survival are excellent. Discomfort was relatively mild and limited to a few days. A similar approach available at the Markey Cancer Center for lung cancer is covered by insurance, and involves radiation pinpointed at the tumor.
Breast tumors can be managed similarly. Areas of metastasis such as lymph nodes or bone, can be treated when accessible in either cancer. Ongoing immune support is especially important to promote dormancy of microscopic metastases, however if they do grow, they can be ablated when visible.
Know your options. Spend a few days getting educational input so that you make the right decision the first time. Ablation provides a unique, preferred approach, that I personally would not hesitate to use in the right hands.

Healing Winter Brains
Teaching how to fully control mood and vitality from hour to hour is one of my goals for those who visit. It requires several trips to teach these skills, but they are essentially attainable in those who are not forced to be in undesirable work or home situations. Those in negative energy environments must learn how to leave or transform those environments before they can achieve happiness.
Many factors apply for mood and confidence. Nutrition can’t be compromised. Daily aerobic and anaerobic activity is important. Spiritual practice and attitudes are foundational. Maintain a daily routine, optimize attractiveness of living space, and both avoid and neutralize electromagnetic fields. Testing to identify IgG food sensitivities, imbalances in hormones, nutrient deficiencies, impaired detoxification, homocysteine, and heavy metals is important. Often there are several prescriptions that promote depression and anxiety including cholesterol lowering, anti-allergy, and blood pressure medicine, and acid suppressants that can usually be discontinued with education and nutritional support. Fostering appropriate intimacy and refining communication skills are wise; counseling benefits all. Sleep is essential and strategies include a pitch-black room, a sleep formula, magnesium glycinate, and testosterone supporting nutrients with zinc. A light box, available from mercola.com, aids the winter blues. Women need to manage their menstrual cycle mood swings with nutrition, exercise, and support for progesterone and testosterone during the second half of the cycle.
For vitality and mood support, botanical adaptogens, singly or in combination, are key. Some improve energy, focus, and mood while others are relaxing. They are essential for navigating work. Excepting bipolar, rhodiola is usually a good workday choice. Gotu kola and ashwagandha are favorites to maintain a relaxed state.
Other essential nutrients are fish oil, vitamin D3 in larger doses when safe, magnesium at night, and a multivitamin with active forms of B vitamins, which circumvent the interfering genetic polymorphisms that over half of us have. Inositol in larger doses appears to have effects similar to SSRIs like Prozac. Adding L-carnitine or acetyl-L-carnitine in a measured way generally helps. Anabolic strategies combined with zinc seem especially important in the winter in those who have had normal health screening exams.
When bipolar is not present, SAMe represents a wonderful fast-acting antidepressant for most; diarrhea is a contraindication. When tested against Elavil, SAMe worked as effectively but faster. In my experience, it kicks in within days for most but can require tweaking with ongoing use.
Depression and other disabling emotions are almost always fixable, generally promptly, and prescriptions are almost never necessary. But quick attention when symptoms are severe is mandatory; get immediate help if suicidal. Always consult with a knowledgeable experienced integrative healthcare practitioner for anything more than mild symptoms.
