5 Food-Medicines That Could Quite Possibly Save Your Life​

Some of the most powerful medicines on the planet are masquerading around as foods and spices. While they do not lend themselves to being patented, nor will multi-billion dollar human clinical trials ever be funded to prove them efficacious, they have been used since time immemorial to both nourish our bodies, and to prevent and treat disease.

The True Driver of Alzheimer's – And How You Can Fight Back NOW!​
For decades, we’ve been told Alzheimer’s is an inevitable, genetic lottery – a cruel thief stealing memories, with no real defense. But what if the experts were looking in the wrong place? What if a hidden, preventable fire has been silently raging, driving this devastating disease, and we finally have the power to extinguish it?
Groundbreaking new science is confirming what alternative health practitioners have long understood: chronic inflammation, particularly in the brain, is not just a side effect, but the primary, hidden driver of Alzheimer’s. Those amyloid plaques and tau tangles? They might just be the smoke signals of a deeper, systemic blaze. This isn't just an academic discovery; it's a monumental shift that empowers you.
This revelation shatters the myth of helplessness. It means we don't have to wait for a magic pill. It means that the choices you make every single day – what you eat, how you move, how you manage stress, and the nutrients you provide your body – are your most potent weapons. The future of brain health isn't in a lab; it's in your hands, right now.
The urgency cannot be overstated. Every moment counts in cooling this inflammatory fire. Your brain health tomorrow depends on the proactive steps you take today.
Don't be a victim of outdated narratives. It's time to take control. We urge you to dive deeper, research this paradigm shift, and understand the profound implications for your cognitive future.
Ready to arm yourself with knowledge and practical steps? Continue reading our next article to discover the specific, actionable strategies you can implement today to quell inflammation and safeguard your brain!​

Tips for Raising Happy Healthy Children​

​
​
On this week’s episode of With the Wind, Dr. Paul is joined by renowned pediatrician Larry Palevsky, M.D., for an enlightening discussion on holistic approaches to raising happy, healthy children. Dr. Palevsky, known for his thoughtful critique of conventional pediatric practices and passion for empowering parents, explores foundational steps in child wellness and emotional development.​
​
​
​
“Babies need to know you’re there. They need to be able to see you up close, smell you, taste you, feel you, hear you... If they don’t, they will feel abandoned. And most often, babies get sick not necessarily because of germs, but because their nervous systems are shattered.” — Larry Palevsky, M.D.​
​
​
​

In this episode, Dr. Palevsky shares:​

​
​
• Why minimizing unnecessary sonograms and supporting vaginal birth can shape long-term wellness.
• The importance of delayed umbilical cord clamping to allow baby to receive vital stem cells and blood volume for healthier development.
• A strong caution against routine interventions like the hepatitis B vaccine and vitamin K injection at birth, urging parents to make fully informed choices.
• The critical role of breastfeeding and the dangers of exposing newborns to chemical formulas pushed by the industry.
• The essential need for emotional security, close contact, and constant reassurance in the early months to build a resilient immune and nervous system.​

The Dalai Lama's Morning Prayer
It is said that His Holiness the Dalai Lama considers this text to be THE source for developing altruism in your character and the "Spirit of Awakening." It is also said that His Holiness the Dalai Lama recites this prayer every morning as part of his waking rituals. So, if you give it a try, you are in good company!

Bodhisattva Prayer for Humanity

"May I be a guard for those who need protection

A guide for those on the path

A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood

May I be a lamp in the darkness

A resting place for the weary

A healing medicine for all who are sick

A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles

And for the boundless multitudes of living beings

May I bring sustenance and awakening

Enduring like the earth and sky

Until all beings are freed from sorrow

And all are awakened."

Now, take a deep breath and be still for a brief moment.

What did you feel when reading those words?

The transmission I got is that our highest purpose in this life is to be a source of love and light for others. We're all in this together.

Hi Jim,​

For many years, experts have regarded fish oil as a form of medicine. During the early 1900s, for example, people slurped down cod liver oil—a rich source of vitamin D— to treat and prevent rickets, a softening of the bones.¹

In addition to vitamin D, fish oil contains hefty doses of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Your body can’t produce these essential fats, so you have to get them from food or supplements.

For years, experts thought that deficiency led to a range of health issues, including heart disease, dementia, depression, dry eye, inflamed joints, and more.

Then, around 2021, this fish tale took a confusing turn.

That’s when JAMA Cardiology published the results of the STRENGTH trial, revealing that four supplemental grams of omega-3s a day had failed to yield any benefits for heart health.²

The paper led to a flurry of medical opinion pieces, including one titled, “Fish oil supplements aren’t doing what you think they are doing.”

So, are fish oil supplements good for you—or a waste of money?

You may already know: I take fish oil daily and consider it a foundational supplement. Read on to find out why.​

With dangerous side effects...

There's a powerful natural solution that's been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years.

Deep in the forests…growing on fallen logs and dead trees…

There's an "ugly" mushroom that researchers are calling nature's most potent immune enhancer.​
This forest superfood contains compounds SO powerful…

That cancer patients are experiencing unprecedented recovery rates.

Studies show that breast cancer patients who consumed these mushrooms…

Recovered immune function drastically faster than those relying on conventional treatments alone.

Here's what makes this even more remarkable…

Unlike synthetic immune boosters that can overstimulate your system and cause harmful side effects...

This natural compound works by intelligently modulating your immune response.

This is exactly why I wrote my groundbreaking investigation on it!

>>> Click HERE to discover the immune-boosting mushroom Big Pharma fears most!

Inside this comprehensive guide, you'll discover:

We are excited to let you know that our next Gordon Medical Forum: Peptides & Cutting Edge Treatments will be live October 16th - 18th, and registration is now open!

The landscape of chronic illness continues to evolve, presenting both new opportunities and complex challenges. Environmental changes, overlapping conditions, and conflicting information have made treatment more complex than ever.​
​
At Gordon Medical, we believe in the power of ongoing dialogue, sharing emerging insights, proven approaches, and the continuous evolution of treatment paradigms. This commitment has led us to present Peptides & Cutting Edge Treatments.

Cutting Edge Treatments
Many therapies we now consider "cutting edge" are approaches we've worked with for years at Gordon Medical. The difference is that we're learning how to weave them together in smarter, more effective ways.

Part of this is about understanding what is genuinely new and bringing that information to our community, but always in the context of chronic illness. There's always something new, but we're sifting through what's most appropriate for this patient population.

Peptides & Bioregulators
Consider peptides and bioregulators: amid considerable enthusiasm and equally considerable misinformation, these compounds offer significant potential when properly understood, appropriately applied, and strategically integrated into comprehensive treatment frameworks that address each patient's unique clinical picture.

The most important insight remains that no single intervention serves as a complete solution. Each individual with complex chronic illness is unique, and their protocol must be equally unique.

That's precisely why access to cutting edge treatments matters so much; they expand our ability to create personalized approaches.

Meaningful healing typically unfolds through consistent, measured progress, a succession of carefully planned advances rather than dramatic breakthroughs.

Our goal with Peptides & Cutting Edge Treatments is to highlight therapies that truly matter. Dr. Eric Gordon and Dr. Nafysa Parpia have carefully curated leading researchers, experienced clinicians, and innovative thought leaders who work with interventions that have demonstrated the potential to create meaningful progress in complex chronic care.

We invite both patients and practitioners to join us in this important conversation.​
To your good health!​

7 Powerful Healing Properties of Bananas​

There is much more than meets the eye with the banana. A household favorite, a loss-leader at the grocery store, a metaphor for psychiatric problems, a mainstay of comic slap stick, the banana has woven itself deeply into human affairs, on both gut and mental levels. And this relationship is at least 10,000 years old, as far as conscious human cultivation of the species goes

WSJ Claims 'Tylenol Deficiency' Causes Autism — While Defaming Sayer Ji's Work​

The Wall Street Journal’s Sept. 26 article, “Inside the Crisis at Tylenol,” reaches new heights of corporate spin by amplifying a breathtakingly absurd claim: that millions of pregnant women avoiding Tylenol could themselves trigger a rise in autism. In other words, the absence of a pharmaceutical drug — a “Tylenol deficiency” — might cause autism.

Behind the marketing slogans of “precision” and rising to the challenge of “feeding the world,” a different story emerges — one of regulatory capture, hidden side effects, and a food supply increasingly engineered in ways most people never see, can’t really taste, but feel distinctly in their health.
Collapse Life podcast host, Zahra Sethna engages Jeffrey in a powerful conversation. A discussion that pulls back the curtain on the experimentation on our food supply, and what you can do right now to protect your family’s health and avoid stealth GMOs.
Jeffrey delves into:
• How gene editing like CRISPR can unleash “surprise side effects”
• Why gene-edited foods don’t need to be labeled or safety-tested before hitting the grocery shelves (and that we’re probably eating them now!)
• Why glyphosate became one of the most widely used and controversial chemicals on earth
• The lawsuits, cover-ups, and regulatory failures surrounding Monsanto, now Bayer, products
• The incalculable risk of releasing engineered organisms into nature with no recall button

Knowledge Is Power: Learn From a Thermography Expert

Although I had been aware of thermography for some time, I wanted to deepen my understanding.

A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Bruce Rind, an expert in thermography and breast health. He gave me a comprehensive overview of thermography and explained how to work with a qualified provider to ensure a high-quality thermogram.

This is important because many beauty centers offer thermography alongside I am a spammer ban me, but these are best avoided.​
This information is essential, so I've put together an article based on my conversation with Dr. Rind.
In the article, you'll learn:
👉 What a thermogram is and what it isn't
👉 The importance and difference between color and grayscale images
👉 Thermography and Estrogen Dominance
👉 The difference between thermography and mammograms (and why both are important)
👉 What a thermogram can miss
👉 How to know which providers are good and what to ask before scheduling
👉 How to do a breast self-massage
👉 Benefits of working with a D.O. (osteopath)
👉 FAQs about thermography
👉 Where to start​

Catch-Up Sleep Doesn’t Work

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Poor sleep takes a toll, and catching up on the weekends just won't fix it, according to researchers with the Pennsylvania State University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute.

A small study showed that heart rate and blood pressure, important measures of cardiovascular health, worsen as the week goes on when someone sleeps only about five hours a night. Catching up on sleep over the weekends didn't return those health measures back to normal.

Special: Sleep Better With This Doctor's Natural Secret

The researchers studied 15 healthy men ages 20 to 35 over an 11-day period. Participants were allowed to sleep up to 10 hours a night over the first three nights, which let researchers note their baseline.

Over the next five nights, the men were limited to five hours sleep per night. That was followed by two recovery nights, when they were allowed to sleep up to 10 hours per night.

Throughout the study, researchers measured participants' resting heart rates and blood pressure every two hours during the day. This made it possible to account for any effects related to time of day, such as a naturally lower heart rate upon waking.

Participants' heart rates increased nearly one beat per minute (BPM) with each successive day of the study. The average baseline heart rate was 69 BPM. By the end of the study, it was 78 BPM.

Systolic blood pressure rose each day, from a baseline average of 116 mm Hg to nearly 119.5 mm Hg by the end of the recovery period. Systolic blood pressure, the top number in a blood pressure reading, measures pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. (A reading of 120 or less is considered normal.)

Zinc Supplementation Slows Alzheimer's
Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes:
For a study of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers compared mice fed a zinc-sufficient diet to a group of mice fed a diet that was 10 times lower in zinc. The scientists reported that the zinc-deficient mice had Alzheimer’s-like memory deficits and elevated inflammation. Zinc supplementation was found to lower the inflammatory markers.
The authors concluded in the Journal of Neuroscience, “This research suggests that zinc status is linked to inflammatory reactivity and may be modified in people to reduce the risk and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.”
Special: Doctor: All Multivitamins Are Not the Same
Alzheimer’s is increasing dramatically. By 2050, it’s estimated that 152 million people worldwide will be suffering from the disease. We all know someone who suffered or who is currently suffering from it.
Conventional medicine has utterly failed in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The drugs prescribed for it simply don’t work. Alzheimer’s disease can best be managed by employing a holistic approach that rectifies nutrient and hormonal deficiencies, and lowers the levels of toxic substances such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, arsenic, pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides.
Not surprisingly, this study found that zinc deficiency resulted in increased inflammation in the brain.
Zinc is an essential nutrient that we can’t live without. In fact, more than 10% of the body’s proteins depend on zinc. It’s needed for membrane stability and for proper immune system function.
Zinc is also essential for detoxification of heavy metals and other contaminants. It’s important to optimize levels of all micronutrients, including zinc.
I suggest working with a holistic healthcare practitioner who can properly test and recommend treatment for nutrient and hormonal imbalances.
