Protocol for Chronic Infections

. . . must always include Wobenzym® in a dose of anywhere from 5 to 10 pills, 3 times a day for a minimum of one to six weeks depending on whether or not the infection is chronic. Current research at NIH and elsewhere shows that these chronic infections are really never eradicated, but that they can be controlled as long as the patient stays on an antimicrobial program. Of course, the benefit to risk ratio of living on most antibiotics does not make this an attractive choice although there appear to be some potentially important hidden benefits. For example, some research has shown that those who have taken tetracycline for years due to severe chronic acne have less arteriosclerosis. This makes sense now that we are beginning to realize that everyone has some chronic infection such as CMV or Chlamydia, which contribute to the C-reactive protein test levels seen in everyone. Therefore, I have worked out an alternative plan. Since everyone has heard about antibiotic resistance, I have a plan that optimizes the body's natural ability to hold all of these chronic infections at bay, and can safely be taken over the entire lifetime of the person with only provable benefits and no substantial risk.

At the top of this list then we have six different natural products: Wobenzym®, Immuni-T3, Beyond-C, Kyolic, Samento, and Essential Daily Defense with occasional additions of other beneficial natural products such as short-term use of high-dose Vitamin A -- 400,000 units daily for up to one week for average 70kg adults and RM-10 at 6-9 capsules a day for one month or as needed. The doses I will list here are all based on adults, and can be safely taken even by babies by merely scaling down dosages proportional to the weight, although staying on the higher side, never cutting dosages entirely in ½; for example, the 35kg person would still get at least 65 percent of the full adult dosages. Note: We are only using safe non-toxic substances here and there is no known toxicity resulting from taking far higher doses than I will list here. In fact, we have seen that for serious problems, people safely consume up to 50 Wobenzym® in one day and 30 Immuni-T3 in one day and up to one whole bottle of Beyond C in one day (although there will be some cramps and loose bowels, but the benefits here are still tremendous). As you know we give 100gm intravenously for any serious health problem from cancer to pneumonia, and the oral form is only 30 percent absorbed on average. However, taking these massive doses with the Pentahydrate water from BioHydration Labs in San Diego, CA (858-452-8868) seems to increase the absorption of all nutrients. Personally, I take that water with all of my supplements every day, even though it costs $2.00 per ½ liter by the time it is delivered.

A further support for the immune system is Samento. Samento is receiving a lot of attention because of its success in treating Lyme disease. Samento has shown dramatic benefits in virtually every kind of inflammation. It reverses most asthma and arthritis cases and helps the body fight acute infections from AIDS to Hepatitis, and has even been found to help manage most forms of cancer. Samento is so concentrated that to achieve these remarkable benefits a full dose only requires 3 to 6 capsules a day.

We are not against short-term, concurrent administration of antibiotics with this program since there are provably so many pathogenic microbes in our body at all times. Occasional aggressive cleansing to lower the overall infectious burden seems acceptable, however the benefits will be 5 times greater if they are consumed with an aggressive use of the program we outline here. In fact, we have seen antibiotic resistant infections not responding to $500 per day of IV antibiotics in the hospital, turn around within 1 day when aggressive oral ingestion of the entire program outlined here was added to the IV antibiotics that were until then entirely failing to control the septicemia or other potentially life threatening infection.

When you learn that all infections hide behind soluble fibrin monomers it will make sense why no infection should ever be treated without the additional help of Wobenzym® to eliminate the microbes capacity.

Of course with cavitations, this is so serious that we estimate it is like having weight 80 motor oil in your car so that nothing, until now, has been truly effective, since nothing was really penetrating the microbes' home.

In any complex fluid - whether it's blood, ketchup or paint - the thinner it is, the less work it takes to pump it. Therefore, the thinner the blood, the easier it is for your heart to pump it around your body, the less arteries will have to stretch, and the less injury the arteries will sustain. Utilizing Rheologics testing, Nattokinase was shown to lower blood viscosity.

Blood pressure rises as the heart compensates for aging. Preliminary studies show that Nattokinase lowers blood pressure by an average of twenty-four points. Your blood thickens due to aging and environmental stress. A vicious cycle begins. As your heart works harder to pump blood throughout the body, your arteries expand and stiffen to compensate for the increased stress.

Endozym Med is formulated with Nattokinase. The properties of Nattokinase closely resemble plasmin, the only main enzyme produced by the body to dissolve and break down blood clots.

What makes Nattokinase a particularly potent treatment, is that it enhances the body's natural ability to fight blood clots in several different ways. And since it so closely resembles plasmin, it dissolves fibrin directly while also enhancing the body's own ability to produce plasmin and other clot-dissolving agents, including urokinase.*

I hope then that it becomes obvious why those of us who understand the universal nature of chronic infection and its adverse effect on our health do not resent the need for continuous lifetime ingestion of natural support products, obviously in far less aggressive quantities once the infection is controlled. However, I warn all of my cardiovascular disease patients that they are never to go over 12 hours without taking their BC-I and Wobenzym®, just like diabetics do not go without their insulin without risking needless damage to their health.

To translate this to dosages - Wobenzym® is never taken at less than 5 tablets twice a day if we are to achieve a high degree of success in the management of a chronic infection. You are to increase this dosage to 10 tablets three times a day whenever you believe you may be coming down with some new infection. I base this recommendation on the fact that the National Institute of Health has been researching some way to control just one fairly simple infection, chlamydia pneumonia. They find that their standard recommendation for patients testing positive to this ubiquitous infection is to be on Azithromycin for a one-year period. This infection is found in the serum of 94 percent of all patients tested, which therefore means almost all of us have some of this infection. Chlamydia is now tied to heart attacks and strokes because it induces blood clots that aspirin is too weak to effectively prevent. This is the state of the ongoing research, but my research strongly suggests that even after one year, when the patient stops their antibiotics, the infection will return. That is why I say there is no cure, merely long-term suppression to minimize the damage these chronic, often hidden infections are doing to us. The research has clearly shown how devastating chronic dental infections can be on our overall health.

We have found that it is appropriate to go ahead and treat with appropriate antibiotics for a short term as long as the Wobenzym® is present at the same time. In fact, for the toughest infections, we actually use an initial "wash out" period, which could be as much as one week or two with just blood thinning, to help expose these infections by lowering fibrinogen and soluble fibrin monomers etc. Wobenzym® is another documented natural way to do this because of the proven benefits of Rutosid as an iron chelator. There may be an occasional need for help of twice daily Heparin injections, like 4000 units subcutaneous, to really get rid of all of the fibrin coat behind which the microbes are inaccessible to the antibiotics or Vitamin C or the other natural immune enhancing treatment that I recommend here.

The big point here is that based on research done at Thrombocare (see www.thrombocare.com) we are now convinced that the presence of any form of infection is associated with this severe localized condition of hypercoagulability. This means that even if you are using IV ozone, and/or IV 50 to 100 gram drips of Vitamin C, and/or intensive use of advanced antibiotics, even given intravenously, including Vancomycin etc, you are still not getting adequate perfusion of the infected tissue to completely eradicate these chronic stubborn dental and other forms of chronic infection. Thus, they simply reproduce when you stop the treatment, so I use a safe treatment, that never needs to be stopped, that offers many other provable benefits, like less heart attacks, less diseases from arthritis and cataracts to cancer and Alzheimer's.

Once you have established whether or not you are going to utilize an appropriate antibiotic, we then want to compliment those efforts with the Wobenzym®, Immuni-T3, Essential Daily Defense and Beyond C. There are many other choices for effective antimicrobial therapy, although not all of these are available in every state. These therapies include the use of ozone, hydrogen peroxide intravenously, ultra violet blood irradiation, ascorbic acid intravenous and others.

Immuni-T3 is also given to patients in standard doses of six tablets a day for maintenance preferably taken in divided doses, but effective treatment levels for serious chronic infections can be 10-12 capsules a day for as many days as is required to gain control of the infection. With the serious flu and other upper respiratory infections seen today, this can take up to one week. Yet this program will significantly reduce the severity of the symptoms and prevent any of the common complications, like having these infections settle in the sinus, lung or ear, or elsewhere. With the widespread abuse of pesticides, chemicals and antibiotics going on world-wide we know that we can lose up to one-half of the US population in less than two years when one of these gets out of control. These recommendations that I am giving you will assure that our patients are not in the mortality statistics. I recommend that all patients keep enough of the supplements used in this infection control program on hand at home at all times. This will avoid wasted visits to the emergency room where the drugs offered will do little or nothing and the patient will have wasted hundreds of dollars for totally ineffective care.

All patients taking Immuni-T report increased levels of energy and virtually no side effects so we have been told to change the name to Longevity. On a show, Dr. Andrew Weil was interviewed and he routinely kept recommending the astragalus and the mushrooms, which are only a few of the powerful ingredients in the Immuni-T3 product.

The dose for any serious infection in the mouth or anywhere would be at least five, up to 10, three times a day for the first few days or one week until a clear response has been seen; and thereafter five, twice a day for the next two to three weeks until adequate clinical response is seen. Remember, with these chronic stubborn infections, it is important to never suddenly run out of any of these five products for best control of chronic infection. Patients are also told to avoid all refined carbohydrates/sugar, which totally disable the immune system including eliminating all active phagocytosis for at least six hours after the ingestion of a simple coke or even three teaspoons of sugar hidden in any food. They must read labels. We are working with the body and they cannot destroy the body's ability to defend itself and expect this program to work well.

The dose of Beyond C is a minimum maintenance dose of one teaspoon preferably twice a day and the dose for helping serious infections is up to 1 teaspoonful every 1-2 hours. The patient should reach the level where some real loose bowels or diarrhea occurs, and even some good cramps. This is known as the bowel tolerance dose. This bowel tolerance dose in some people will come with far lower doses, and in others, particularly when they are just coming down with a severe infection, may be far higher than at other times. Perhaps an average chronic infection person will be comfortable with just one teaspoon every three to eight hours. This incredible Vitamin C product is different than anything available anywhere else in the world. It is providing, in each heaping teaspoon dose, a full four grams of neutral well-tolerated vitamin C, and two grams of other powerful accessory nutrients including trimetholglycine, methol sulfonyl methane, ribose, and bioperine. The high dose, then, for someone very ill could well be eight teaspoons in a twenty-four hour period or thirty-two grams every 24 hours until they are really showing signs of recovery.

NOTE: We have patients who have found that in the face of serious infections such as infectious mononucleosis that they could safely take five teaspoons within as little as a four-hour period, this is using tap water. There have been tremendous increases in this permitted dose tolerated by many people who consume a Penta special, far wetter form of water.

We have found that by taking our Beyond C in this water, patients have been able to take fifty and sixty grams of Vitamin C with minimal amount of loose bowel or stomach cramps. Obviously the higher doses of Vitamin C that the patient can achieve, the better the eradication of all chronic stubborn and hidden infections, as well as greater the detoxification. We even have clinics reporting improvement in cancer when the patient received daily 100gm or more of IV Vitamin C.

Essential Daily Defense is another major tool in the treatment of these infections since it always has an important blood thinning benefit. This makes the Wobenzym® even more effective and together eliminates the need for Heparin or coumadin in some patients, even those with heart valves, yet no one ever goes to the hospital bleeding to death as with those drugs.

Most infections cannot grow well in the presence of garlic. So this product belongs in the management of all infections and can safely be taken in doses of up to ten capsules of Essential Daily Defense, three times a day in the 70kg people. The malic acid in the Essential Daily Defense helps to bind iron so that most infections, which are dependant on available iron for their reproductive cycle, are no longer able to reproduce effectively. Thus, Essential Daily Defense is a major long-term aspect of my program for control of all chronic diseases but there are only enough doses in Beyond Chelation Improved for maintenance. To seriously improve health and detoxify we use far more than the six capsules that everyone I treat is getting in their two packs of BC-I a day. This package also includes three tablets of the multiple vitamin-mineral, which everyone must take everyday of their life, and three rather expensive but vital additional nutrients in separate tablets of Primrose oil, Omega-3 and Ginkgo/Phosphatidyl serine.

The dose that patients may take for the first few days of serious infection has been up to thirty capsules per day. The reasonable dose between the maintenance dose of three twice a day and thirty per day is to take a minimum of five three times a day as a dose for a fairly standard, but chronic infection whereas for a more stubborn infection, ten three times a day would be the preferred dose.

The above information is to augment the information already on my www.gordonresearch.com website where you also should review the information contained in my immune protocol.

For people who have been inconvenienced by chronic infection for a long time, I always recommend this protocol in order to bring the level of Vitamin A up to the highest level they can tolerate. For about five days 1 in 100 will get a real headache. This normally means up to one-half million units a day for a 70+kg person. This is taken for no more than five days. I like Nutrasorb A, which is available from Interplexus of Kent, Washington, a subsidiary of Diagnostechs.

In addition, Kyolic liquid is the perfect form of liquid natural antibiotics. I have used Kyolic in doses of up to 2 full bottles a day successfully in treating antibiotic resistant pneumonia. Kyolic always helps manage any form of infection. If Kyolic is also applied directly inside the ear, it helps most ear infections. The dosage recommendation is to take it diluted 50% warm water every 2 hours. Use at least 1-2 tsp 4 times a day in helping most infection.

Of course, with chronic dental infections, all of the excellent ideas from your favorite dentist, including the local use of peroxide, baking soda, etc, are all important. Furthermore, I strongly recommend the local application of low-level laser as seen, for example, in the anodyne unit from Rocky Mountain Technologies of Aurora, Colorado. This very useful laser device, costing between $2500 and $4500, permits increased level of photon energy to the area of concern. This in turn increases energy in the infected tissue and increases circulation locally through the production of nitric oxide. Simply holding the two business card-sized pads over the teeth will enhance the healing power of the nutritional program outlined above. A recommended dose of twenty minutes, 2-3 times a day for local application is encouraged.

Sincerely,
Garry F. Gordon, MD, DO, MD(H)
