Page 5 Fluoride trial is coming in for an early 2024 showdown in federal court  **UPDATE** 5 Takeaways from this week’s testimony in trial:

  1. Studies found evidence of skeletal fluorosis and neurotoxicity.
  2. The central question is whether fluoride poses an ‘unreasonable risk’
  3. Allegations that political pressure led to suppression of the NTP report which linked fluoride to lower IQ in children & found an association between higher fluoride levels and lower IQ.
  4. There is debate about how to interpret the cohort studies.
  5. Pregnant women and bottle-fed babies are particularly vulnerable to fluoride’s effects.

Power Up Your Mighty Mitochondria

Power Up Your Mitochondria In Tick Borne Infections and Mold Toxicity Image

Major Update: 2/9/24

Marty Ross, MD Discusses Mitochondria Energy

Mitochondria Create Cell Energy

It is possible to improve your energy and fatigue in chronic Lyme disease, tick-borne infections, mold toxicity, and other illnesses by improving the function of the cell power factories called mitochondria. For many with fatiguing illnesses, the mitochondria get injured and do not produce enough energy. However, there are effective steps that fix the damage and give energy back.

Mitochondria are the energy factories found in every cell in the body. By some estimates, there are nearly 400 per cell. In chronic Lyme disease or in toxicity issues, due to oxidative stress the mitochondria can be injured, leading to fatigue that will not improve. In oxidative stress, chemicals build up that can damage membranes and even the DNA genetic material of mitochondria.

As power factories, mitochondria create a type of cell fuel called ATP. The fuel sources for mitochondria are fat and sugar, and both need to be transported to the inside of the mitochondria. ATP is created when fat and sugar are burned through several chemical reactions called the citric acid cycle and another process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Transport of fat and sugar into mitochondria requires a healthy mitochondria membrane. Oxidative phosphorylation also requires a healthy membrane. When the membranes are injured through oxidative stress, sugar and fat fuel sources for ATP cannot reach the inside of the mitochondria. Electron transfer in oxidative phosphorylation that leads to most ATP production is also blocked. Mitochondria membrane injury leads to low cell ATP and thus, fatigue.

ACTION: FDA Closing in on Your Supplements

https://anh-usa.org/fda-closes-in-on-your-supplements/

FDA Closes in on Your Supplements

By ANH-USAOn 
FDA Closes in on Your Supplements
The agency recently made a big announcement about a regulation that could eliminate 41,700 products from the market. We need to keep up the pressure to protect access. Action Alert!

THE TOPLINE

  • The FDA announced that it will release the final version of the “new dietary ingredient” (NDI) guidance in several distinct pieces.
  • This is deeply concerning because 1) it shows the extent of the focus the agency wants to dedicate to this guidance, and 2) it prolongs the uncertainty regarding NDI notification procedures, increasing the chances that Big Pharma can use the FDA’s back-channel to steal more natural products.
  • It is increasingly looking like the FDA is following in the footsteps of the European Union’s restrictive supplement regulations in order to create a harmonized, global market.

A few weeks ago, we reported that 2024 could be the year the FDA finally publishes the final version of its natural product-destroying “new dietary ingredient” (NDI) guidance that it has been working on since 2011. It appears that we might have been right. On January 17, the FDA published a notice in the Federal Register explaining that it intends to break this up into several guidance documents while also naming the issues it intends to prioritize. It is a tactic we’ve seen the agency deploy in its war against compounded medicine: rather than issue a policy outright and risk the backlash, the FDA takes a piecemeal approach to diffuse the negative reactions to what it is doing. Even more concerning, it shows the level of focus the FDA is committing to the various issues contained in the guidance. We need to keep hammering away at our elected representatives to take notice of what the FDA is doing.

The Federal Register notice states that the issues FDA is prioritizing are administrative procedures, identity, safety, and master files. The FDA’s webpage describing the guidance documents it plans to issue over the next year has been updated accordingly, with a “procedures and timeframes guidance” listed before a master files guidance.  (See link for article to to take action)

Biofilm Busters for Gut Infections: DO YOU NEED THEM?

Treatment resistant gut infections are sometimes due to microbial biofilms. In this video, I discuss what is biofilm, what is a biofilm buster, what to use for gut biofilm breakdown, and how to get rid of biofilm. This is valuable for those with SIBO, IBS, any kind of dysbioisis or other gut infection.

Methylene Blue for Lyme: Dr. Jemsek

http://

Methylene Blue For Lyme

Pharmacist Jay Gill interviews Dr. Joseph Jemsek from the Jemsek Specialty Clinic in Washington DC. Dr. Jemsek treats patients affected by Lyme or other tic born illnesses. In this podcast he talks about his experiences using Methylene Blue for his patients suffering from Lyme Borreliosis Complex.

The podcast will educate you on the history of Methylene Blue and current scientific literature supporting its use for Lyme Disease. While Methylene Blue is not a sole cure for Lyme, Dr. Jemsek has seen great results when used in combination with other Lyme therapies. Dosing, side effects, and contraindications are also reviewed. Interesting to note, low dose Methylene Blue can help with nerve regeneration and may improve mental clarity.

Dr. Gill and Dr. Jemsek both emphasize the importance of using a quality Methylene Blue product. While it can be purchased online, you’d want to ensure you’re receiving the actual prescription-only product by working with an accredited compounding pharmacy.
