Dr. John Brimhall is a true pioneer in the field of health care. His innovative approach to health care include Chiropractic, but Dr. Brimhall didn’t stop there. He has created a comprehensive line of nutritional supplements that are among the best products available for mankind. He constantly seeks verification and validation of his formulas and lately has teamed with Labrix laboratories to document his findings.

I received this e-mail and felt it was important to share with you. Many clients I see have what I now refer to Antibiotic syndrome. Anemia, increased homocysteine, blood sugar irregularities, a raging yeast-fungal infection leading to allergies, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivities and the various autoimmune disease are all part of this syndrome.Google me: “Ted Edwards DC”

Functional Testing Has Taught Me Anemia and Often Increased Homocysteine Are Major Considerations In A Large Percentage of Our PatientsWe routinely test for about 60 values on the patients we do blood tests on. Probably some of the greatest insights I have gained are many patients have some type of blood sugar dysregulation, inflammation and an imbalance that gives a microcytic or macrocytic anemia. The nutritional status that allows these problems often lead to Homocysteine being high in the body as well.Of course we are not referring to the pathological ranges listed on the blood report from the lab, but physiological ranges that measure function and not just pathology. Let’s mainly discuss today Homocysteine and Anemia nutrition.If plasma homocysteine is elevated, it is now recognized as a major risk factor in vascular disease as well as being linked to many other conditions such as neural tube defects, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, spontaneous abortion, placental abruption, renal failure, non-insulin-dependent diabetes, neuropsychiatric conditions, etc. In fact the literature references around 450 conditions that have a high homocysteine level noted as part of the problem.

Homocysteine is an intermediate metabolite of methionine metabolism. A small percentage of the population (2.5-5%) is thought to have a genetic predisposition to high homocysteine. Many more people are showing increased levels due to inadequate nutrition or utilization of nutrients, e.g., B12, B6, folic acid, molybdenum and a deficiency of methyl donors in their diet.

Let’s recap for a minute, Homocysteine itself is an intermediate metabolite of methionine and is metabolized in two pathways: 1. The re-methylation pathway, which returns it to methionine as an end result and 2. The trans-sulfuration pathway, which breaks homocysteine into cysteine and taurine and then all the way to sulfur (SO4), if all of the necessary cofactors are available. This turns a bad lemon into good lemonade. Remember SO4 is the common link to detoxification of the liver, adrenal and joint repair. Homocysteine being at a metabolic crossroads can affect all methyl and sulfur group metabolism existing in the human. Elevated levels could interfere with the biosynthesis of: S-adenosylmethionine, carnitine, chondroitin sulfate, coenzyme A, coenzyme Q10, creatine, cysteine, dimethylglycine, epinephrine, glucosamine sulfate, glutathione, glycine, melatonin, pantethine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, serine and taurine.

The only product I know that has every nutrient for this condition is Nutri-West’s HOMOCYSTEINE REDUX. It contains TMG/DMG, for methyl donors, P5P and B6, B12, niacinamide, N-Acetyl Cysteine, molybdenum, which is necessary for stage two of liver detoxification, selenium, folic acid, Vit E, beet root, choline bitrate, magnesium and zinc.

These factors provide the nutritional support for most anemias as well, except for Iron deficiency anemia. Usually low Iron will cause a microcytic anemia and low ferritin levels. Add Ferrous-Fumuro Chelateif that is the case.

If you are not taking Homocysteine Redux yourself and going through about four dozen a month in your practice, you are not doing reflex testing or blood tests on your patients.

See you soon,

In 1978 I was Introduced to Polarity Therapy one of the Pioneering BioField Therapies

Ted Edwards DC — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 04:44:55 +0000

It's interesting how language changes over time. Thirty years ago I was reading the works of Dr. Randolph Stone's Polarity Therapy. He spoke of energy fields, atomic energy, illustrated with diagrams and charts that are more relevant today then ever.

A couple of days ago my wife was making me a 'rack card' to promote my Chiropractic practice. In it she used the term Biofield Therapy. I remember the first time I heard the word Polarity Therapy. It was uttered by a beautiful girl on a Sandles resort beach in Kauai oh some many years ago. I started to see the word Polarity Therapy again and again after our meeting. It led me to read Gestalt Therapy by Fritz Perls.

It was Thanksgiving 1978 when I arrived at the Polarity Institute in Mt Shasta, CA. Snow was on the ground. A large dome covered the outdoor pool. It was rustic, primitive and I loved it. I enrolled in a 6 week Basic Polarity Therapy training. Which lead to an 8 week practitioners program followed by a lengthy teaching certification program.

Dr.Stone was an esoteric soul who traveled the world seeking an answer. The question was, what is the common link between all healing modalities? Between all therapies given by any type of doctor. His answer "Energy."

He spoke of and showed diagrams and charts of "Energy Fields." How they worked in the body. His work included detailed information on Chakras. He spoke of life-force, prana and chi. Now all of these are considered part of your Biofield

Biofield Therapy – has been presented to the NIH and received funding from them for its study. Biofield therapies include Polarity Therapy, Reiki, Qigong and so many more well known healing practices.

I missed the NIH's introduction of the term Biofield in 1994 and its subsequent acceptance by the US national Library of Medicine as a medical subject heading. As I dig into this topic further I am surprised to find that there's a Center for Frontier Medicine in Biofield Science that is investigating applications of biofield therapies.

So here it is 30 years later and "Biofield: the endogenous energy field of the body." Funny thing is no one understand what Dr. Stone meant by energy field. In my view, most people still don't. And even fewer will comprehend the true meaning of Biofield Therapy.

There were many take home messages I absorbed during this metaphysical period of my life. Dr. Stone spoke of frequency. He described how frequency transmitted information within the bodies energy fields (biofields). It's frequencies such as those from an MRI and CAT that are turned into information that we use to diagnosis disease.

In the allergy elimination techniques, such as Instant Allergy Relief, frequency information is used for treatment by entering specific frequency patterns into the Biofield through an externally applied electromagnetic field carrier.

For Dr. Stone and many others removing energy blocks is the key to healing the ills and ailments that plague mankind. Brain waves depend on oscillations of extra low frequencies (ELF). These ELF oscillations are involved in neuron synchronization and circadian rhythms. They coordinate and organize biochemical reactions.

Throughout history healers have explored the use of frequencies and oscillations as a medium for removing energy blocks and restoring homeostasis. Color Therapy was developed when it was discovered that the frequencies of light had noticeable affects on the health of the body. An entire discipline was developed and widely accepted and used even in the United States. That was until the advent of the American Medical Association, who probable doesn't like the term Biofield much either.

The past 30 years has also brought forth Biofield Therapies based on technology that didn't exist previously. We all know that our CD/DVD players use a laser to take information from a disc which is read by a machine and turned into music and movies. We no longer think twice about those laser scanners at the market that tally the cost of our groceries and print out a receipt. These are cold lasers.

Turns out that someone discovered that shining one of these cold red lasers on a sore body part reduced and with subsequent application eliminated the pain. Cold Laser therapy, another Biofield therapy has developed by leaps and bounds over the past 15 years. Highly accepted and used throughout Europe the US has, as usual, lagged behind in its understanding and use of this therapy.

Another way of applying healing frequencies to the biofield is through bioresonance such as that produced by Scenar devices which were first developed in Russia over 30 years ago. Scenar devices have gone through progression of innovation, research, study and application. Here's another word I'd never heard of until just recently. The more I read, the more i wanted one. The more I use the one I got the more I want to use it.

Last but not least I hope we all understand the powerful application of the frequencies of sound, of music. Whether it's tuning forks, singing bowls or our favorite song or singer – music has a profound affect on our energy fields and it a powerful biofield therapy. One I'm going to go enjoy right now.
