Gene Testing- Who you are Makes all the Difference

I’m sure you have heard it a few time, “I have X, Y, Z condition…It’s genetic!” The fact is that only a few conditions such as Huntington’s Disease, Tay-Sachs Disease, and Down Syndrome are considered genetic disorders.  “What about the rest? I just know that my diabetes, cholesterol issues, sleeping problems, high blood pressure, and the tumor I had removed last week are genetic…my mom had it!”

It’s not that you have a certain gene but it’s the variation of that gene that makes it easier for you to develop a dysfunction that leads to disease. These genetic variations are called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or SNP’s. In essence, they are what make you biologically different from your neighbor. When your cells divide they must copy their DNA. They should look exactly the same, however, variations commonly occur that ultimately determines how humans develop diseases and respond to pathogens (things that cause disease), chemicals, drugs, vaccines, and other agents.

Here is an example of a SNP:  Let’s say that a particular gene’s purpose was to process Folic Acid. If you have a genetic variation that causes the way you process Folic Acid, you may need to supplement 500x more Folic Acid just to function correctly. Your run-of-the-mill multi-vitamin or prenatal vitamin won’t cut it. Folic Acid is needed for proper cell division/repair which is a huge problem in cancer patients and women planing to become pregnant. Those with SNP’s that disturb Folic Acid  may also be prone to anemia, cause neurological problems in developing fetuses, and disrupt behavior such as ADD, anxiety disorder, and depression.  Thanks to the Human Genome Project we were able to identify thousands of SNP’s that play a role in a person’s chances to develop diseases.

SNP’s can effect:
•    Hormonal/Endocrine System- Estrogen Positive Cancers, Endometriosis, Pre/Post Menopause  Complications, Osteoporosis, Cardiovascular Disease, Inflammation
•    Cardiac system- Cardiovascular Diseases, Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Oxidative Stress
•    Detoxification System- Cancers, Chronic Fatigue, Adverse Drug Reactions, Allergies
•    Energy Production System- Cancers, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia,
•    Neurological System- Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, Seizures, ADD, Autism
•    Structural System- Osteoporosis, Inflammation, Vitamin D Abnormalities
•    Immune System- Allergies, Autoimmune Disease, Cancers

Testing for these genetic variations, or SNP’s, can be done in adulthood as well as childhood. This means that we can now develop a life-long nutritional plan that will offset these potentially deadly SNP’s.  This is a breakthrough, a breakthrough that can accurately show risk of a future disease BEFORE IT EVER STARTS.

True Health and Dr. Brady Hurst now offers testing for SNP’s. With this information, Dr. Brady develops a personalized plan that will give your body what it needs to override these genetic differences and live a long health life with the lowest risk of developing disease.

What is MMS (Chlorine Dioxide)?

You may send an Chlorine Dioxide order request to: Orders@TrueHealthDC.com. Please include your name, address, and phone number.

  • Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is compound that acts as a strong oxidizer (as when a nail rust) to destroy specific bacteria and viruses.
  • It seems that ClO2 attacks those cells that create their energy in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic cell) such as pathogenic (disease causing) viruses, bacteria and cancer cells. Most of our “healthy” cells use oxygen for energy so they remain relatively safe.
  • Nerd’s Only Corner: Bacteria: ClO2 will become reduced (5e-) when it is in proximity to the bacteria’s cell wall damaging it. ClO2 will so inhibit Nitrite Reductase activity, an enzyme needed for anaerobic respiration (same mechanism for cancer cells). Virus: ClO2 will penetrate the cell wall and will interrupt intracellular peptone production, a necessary intermediate in viral protein hydrolysis (creation of functional protein).
  • ClO2 can penetrate the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). It would be interesting to see studies done on the use of Chlorine Dioxide in viral meningitis… (no patent= no money= no studies= a dollar being more valuable than human life).
  • If the Chlorine Dioxide kills more cells than the body can clear out one can feel nauseous (Herxheimer Reaction). Nerd’s Only Corner: Thought- Since ClO2 can cross the BBB it may also adversely effect the area postrema of the midbrain, the BBB-less area that promotes vomiting. Need more research.
  • Yeast infections- Candida cells use both aerobic (use of oxygen for energy) and anaerobic (zero oxygen energy production) so I don’t TOTALLY agree with using Chlorine Dioxide as a monotherapy for candida infections.
  • Possible uses for Chlorine Dioxide: Common acute and chronic infections: flu, cuts, mouthwash, face wash (keep out of eyes), replacement for chlorine in drinking water, intestinal dysbiosis, HIV, cancer, Lyme Disease, viral meningitis, Candidiasis (not as monotherapy)…
  • Don’t administer MMS/Chlorine dioxide yourself. Get direction first. Chlorine Dioxide is a strong oxidant so OVERUSE can cause problems. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
  • We have developed a TeleHealth Service designed to help people worldwide. Our use of advance laboratory testing helps identify any potential blockades and/or triggers that promotes chronic health conditions.

My friend Alison Lowndes runs a program that helps Kenyans who are infected with Malaria. She is trying to use ClO2 with these people in desperate need. Visit her site here.

Dr. Brady Hurst – Prostate Cancer and How Functional Medicine can Help.

March 21, 2008 Dr. Brady Hurst 1 comment

Summery:

  • Men produce estrogen too! Estrogen can not be eliminated from the body as itself so it is broken down in the liver into 2 4 and 16 hydroxyestradiol (2, 4, and 16 for short) so it can be.
  • 2 are “good” for the prostate and 4, 16 are “bad”.
  • Prostate tissue is negatively effected by the 4 hydroxyestradiol and can cause the glands cells to divide rapidly–>cancer
  • Compounds like I3C, 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (AKA: DIM for those who can’t digest I3C properly) help the liver produce a lot more 2’s thus decreasing risk of prostate cancer…by restoring balanced function.
  • Insulin resistance (“pre-diabetes”) causes men to convert their testosterone into estrogen making prostate cancer risk increase dramatically and further cause worst insulin resistance. Insulin support, diet changes, and compounds such as Chrycin (slows testosterone–>estrogen) can be use to address this nasty vicious cycle.
  • Immune system breakdown is seen in virtually ALL cancer patients. Immune support is a must. Although a full program must be in place by a Functional Medicine physician like Dr. Brady Hurst, compounds such as MGM-3 has been shown to stimulate Natural Killer Cells, immune cells that kill cancer cells.
  • An organic diet, pancreatic enzymes, visualization, and a healthy sex life play the most important role in preventing and treating any type of cancer. Read Sherry Roger’s book Wellness Against All Odds: A story of 30 people who all beat their cancer using natural protocols.

Comprehensive care and treatment are what people are looking for but cant find. My comments here are just the tip of the iceberg and requires this comprehensiveness to be effective when trying to treat and MOST IMPORTANTLY prevent prostate cancer or any other chronic disease.

I am Dr. Brady Hurst. I run a clinic in Atlanta Georgia that uses the most advanced diagnostic technology and natural, safe protocols to treat and prevent disease and dysfunction. People from all of the country come to get worked up and treated. You can read their testimonials here.

Please keep my uncle in your thoughts. He is currently going through reoccurring metastatic prostate cancer.
