Hello Jimi,

Every day, we work with patients with complex chronic illnesses. Each individual is a puzzle, with varying symptoms and overlapping medical concerns. We know how hard it is to have complex health issues and so much confusing information out there.

To continue to support our patients at the highest level, Gordon Medical Associates is thrilled to share that in April, we will officially merge with Pacific Frontier Medical, making Gordon Medical the premier Lyme, tick-borne illness, and environmentally acquired illness clinic on the West Coast.

Dr. Steve Harris and his team at PFMI have been working intimately in the Lyme and tick-borne illness world for almost two decades. We are honored and so thrilled with this merger and how we will be able to support our patient community in an even more profound way.

“The merger will allow Gordon Medical to become an expanded think tank for complex and chronic illness. In the past, we have all gotten good results working on our own. Now, we will be able to work collectively on more difficult cases.” - Dr. Eric Gordon

More details to follow as it all unfolds.​

Beyond Functional Medicine

Healing is not a linear path; it’s a mosaic of moments, breakthroughs, and connections.

In order to find where to begin the healing process, you have to deconstruct every element down to what it feels like on the inside for you as an individual. In the upcoming summit, Beyond Functional Medicine: Deep Healing & Advanced Therapies, Dr. Eric Gordon will be speaking more in depth on this topic. You can register to watch his talk and many other important discussions from March 25th - 31st.​
EMF Solutions Summit

Our bodies are intricately connected to the natural vibrational state of the earth, a connection that is disrupted by the presence of EMFs emitted by sources such as WiFi, cell phones, and Bluetooth devices. While the effects may vary depending on individual resilience, it's undeniable that prolonged exposure can take a toll on our systems, particularly for those dealing with chronic illnesses.

During the upcoming 2024 EMF Hazards Summit, scheduled from April 11-14, Dr. Gordon will delve into strategies for supporting your healing journey and fortifying your system against the impact of EMFs.​

I’ve got a special one-off event for you this coming week–
My friend Ryan Sternagel is hosting a LIVE Q&A call with one of the top holistic cancer doctors in the world, Dr. Jenn Simmons…
And you’re invited to be on the call :)
These calls are usually private, as part of the Going Integrative Plus program Ryan created after successfully navigating a stage four cancer diagnosis with his own son.
But he’s opening this one up to members of my community.
Not only that, but Ryan and Dr. Simmons will be setting aside time to answer audience questions, live.
If you have questions about holistic cancer treatment and want to learn from trustworthy people who have successfully treated cancer first-hand, you can register to attend live + ask your questions here.


Always,

Sarah Otto
Nutritionist (Master of Human Nutrition)
Goodness Lover Co-Founder


P.S.
A bit about Ryan’s featured guest… Dr. Jenn Simmons spent 17 years as Philadelphia’s top breast surgeon before her own illness led her to discover functional medicine. Fast-forward to today, her brain basically overflows with decades of hard-earned wisdom about personalised cancer treatment. If you’re wanting to learn more about integrative approaches to cancer and you want to pick a brain worthy of being picked, I recommend you join the call here.​

Gut-Health Promoting Foods & Recipes to Nourish Your Microbiome​

Well, this is the third installment of the unintentional yet perfect series on the various aspects of human detoxification, Jim!

Reminder we had EDTA a couple of weeks ago, which is an aspect of things that will bind / “mop up” toxicants within your body.

Zeolite would be another great example, gut binders like activated charcoal or bentonite clay, etc.

(As long as the sources of those products are clean that is!!)

Then on the other side of the fence, you’ve got your body getting rid of stuff itself.

Sulforaphane was last week to upregulate your cellular detox pathways…

we’re also continually talking about supporting your detox organs and systems - liver, lymph, etc…

But there’s one thing on this side of the fence it’s been too long since we talked about, and it’s high time we did…

SWEAT!

Where everything you’ve bound up and released, all comes pouring out. :)

That’s right, it’s time to revisit our number one device everyone should have in their home to take healing into your own hands…

The almighty infrared sauna!

We’ll be talking about Relax Saunas this week…

except we’re mixing it up a bit for an extra special “Ryans that love Relax” edition. :)

As in we usually have Phil the owner on, but this time we’re having Ryan Today (yes that’s his real name), the science director on, to get a little more… sciencey. :)

Whether you still need to make a sauna a reality in your household OR want a deep dive on the best ways to USE your sauna and get the most out of it (as Ryan likes to talk a lot about that as well)…

This is the most important discussion of them all!!

And you can sign up to attend + ask questions live / catch the replay / get the webinar-only deal here. :)

Oh, and I probably should mention after all of that detox is just one of MANY reasons why sauna is our number one device everyone should have. :)

We’ll be talking about them all!

Here’s a question, Jimi...

How do you really know if you’re getting all the proper nutrition you need?

Unfortunately, without getting regular blood panels performed, you really don’t know.

And with the notoriously poor quality of soil from modern farming practices…
There are also many other boring but scientific reasons that even your freshest fruits and veggies DO NOT contain as many nutrients as they used to in days gone by…

You’re likely deficient in one or more essential vitamins and minerals!

Just the tip of the iceberg: Experts predict that up to 95% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D.

A 2017 study published in the Swiss medical journal Nutrients reports:

“Thirty-one percent of the U.S. population was at risk of at least one vitamin deficiency or anemia…

With 23%, 6.3%, and 1.7% of the U.S. population at risk of deficiency in 1, 2, or 3–5 vitamins or anemia, respectively.”

So many people are deficient in B12 that some scientists call it the Invisible Epidemic!

And it’s not just the soil or seeds that’s the problem. Your dietary choices are a key factor.

Yet, even if you’re eating a wide variety of foods…

Knowing what to eat and in what amounts can be confusing. Especially when there’s so much misinformation out there!

That’s why our buddies at VegHealth created an incredibly thorough nutrition guide that has been vetted by experts and is 100% based on research.

You can download it now at no cost!

>>Download VegHealth’s “Avoiding Unhealthy Deficiencies” here




We highly recommend this handy, easy-to-understand, and simple-to-implement nutrition guide to help you navigate the waters of modern eating so you can know for sure you’re getting ALL the nutrients you need for long-term health and vitality.

PLUS, you’ll get several other bonus books, too, including their very popular “EASY SAUCES: Delicious Meals in 10 Minutes or Less!”

Can’t wait to hear about your health breakthroughs once you crack the nutrition code!

To a Long, Healthy Life!

Dear Jimi
You’ve probably seen the emails that my 4th Reverse Alzheimer’s Summit that starts this week. It is so important that we all have access to learn about how to prevent and reverse dementia and Alzheimer’s naturally. It’s my life’s mission to bring you this information.

At the start of this year Biogen announced it is pulling the new Alzheimer’s treatment called Aduhelm off the market. Approval of this had some controversy. The expert panel recommended that the FDA deny its approval. The FDA did approve it in 2021 with the requirement that more research would be done by 2030, but Biogen has struggled to find funding for these studies.

Leqembi, approved by the FDA in 2023, is still available. This on e doesn’t stop the progression of the disease nor reverse cognitive decline. It only slows the progression by 27%. In addition, it comes with warnings of brain swelling and brain bleeding.

Donanemab is another candidate that focuses solely on slowing the progression of the disease – not reversal. It was expected to be approved by the FDA this month, but the FDA announced in early March that it will unexpectedly be bringing in a panel of experts to further scrutinize the drug.

This news can seem so despairing, but there is hope. There is more than hope, there are evidence-based methods. My clinical trial was published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease last August. It documents the positive results of my protocol where 73.9% of trial participants improved. Something that neither of those costly pharmaceuticals can do.

Watch this:
You can watch this interview I did with my summit co-host and mentor, Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dr. Ram Rao where we have an in-depth discussion about the trial and its protocols.

A new trial:
There is another clinical trial in the works utilizing lifestyle intervention treatment to reverse memory loss. A published case studies report Reversal of Cognitive Decline: 100 Patients opened the path for this new study. For more information or to participate in this controlled Evanthea Dementia Reversal Trial, click here.

Action now:
We don’t need to wait for a drug. There are methods to prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s and dementia. My mission is to spread this information in as many ways as possible – through these emails, my summit, my upcoming book Reversing Alzheimer’s, Marama assisted living, Solcere Medical Clinic, my course and coaching program, and more.

Thank you for joining me on this journey to find a better path to a world without dementia.

Warmly,
Dr. Heather Sandison


P.S. – Don’t forget to register today for my Reverse Alzheimer’s Summit 4.0 co-hosted with Dale Bredesen. The first talks kick off on Tuesday!

With public faith in FDA continuing to decline, the agency published draft guidance stating that a single animal study could be sufficient to demonstrate a vaccine’s effectiveness. ICAN’s attorneys submitted a comment in opposition to this draft guidance which comes shortly after FDA approved a COVID-19 booster based on trials performed solely in mice.
Back in 2007, an FDA advisory committee met to re-review the safety, effectiveness, and dosing of phenylephrine (Sudafed PE), a drug which has been on the market for nearly 50 years. At the 2007 meeting, the committee considered its efficacy data “borderline” but nonetheless voted 11-1 in favor of its efficacy, although it did vote in favor of additional studies being done.
On September 12, 2023, the same FDA committee, possibly attempting to bolster its image as a tough regulatory watchdog, voted unanimously to label phenylephrine “ineffective” as a nasal decongestant. The committee notedsignificant methodological and statistical issues with the design and conduct of the original studies submitted to and evaluated by the Panel…. All but one evaluated extremely small sample sizes, none adequately controlled for bias … and none performed appropriate sample size calculations,” and observed, “After a thorough review of all the available evidence, it is also possible that there may have been bias and/or data integrity issues at [at] least one study center … where five of the seven positive oral PE studies were conducted.”
If FDA follows the panel’s advice, the drug will be pulled from the market, despite the long-standing indications of its inefficacy, most of which were known in 2007. It’s too bad the committee didn’t perform this “thorough review” at any point prior to the last 50 years, before Americans wasted billions of dollars on an ineffective treatment (nearly $2 billion in 2022 alone) that apparently only exposed them to potential harm without benefit.
Ironically, on September 11, 2023, just one day before the committee met to clamp down on this “ineffective drug” with shoddy clinical trials, FDA issued draft guidance stating that, under certain circumstances, a manufacturer can show evidence of effectiveness for a biological product with a single clinical investigation conducted in animals, giving the example of “[w]hen the product is a preventive vaccine, and there is a well-established model of infection for a relevant infectious disease, and use of the vaccine in the animal model demonstrates prevention of disease.” Notably, this occurred shortly after FDA authorized the newest Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, which are as Dr. Paul Offit notes, “new product,” even though Pfizer tested this brand-new shot only in mice — not humans.
Thus, on December 18, 2023, ICAN, through its attorneys, filed a formal comment in opposition to the draft guidance. In it, ICAN points out that, despite urging by ICAN in its November 2020 petition, FDA refused to amend the Phase III trials of the COVID-19 vaccines to ensure they met the required standard of “substantial evidence” of effectiveness. As a result, we now have generations of new vaccines being approved based on those original ineffective products.
Now, FDA is doubling down on its malfeasance by authorizing COVID-19 vaccines without human trials while simultaneously creating guidance to excuse its lack of oversight. As ICAN’s comment notes:
t is apparent that FDA is tailoring guidance based on the vaccine manufacturers’ clinical trials instead of requiring that these trials comply with what any reasonable licensing agency should and would require. FDA has seemingly forgotten that its function is to regulate the pharmaceutical industry, not rubber stamp it. The Draft Guidance does not provide oversight, and even worse lends illegitimacy to the FDA when there is clearly insufficient evidence to support authorization or licensure. This is especially troubling for products that will be injected into healthy humans including babies, children, and pregnant women.

Rest assured that ICAN’s legal team will continue to serve as a watchdog for FDA and ensure it is held accountable for improperly wielding its regulatory authority and fulfilling its responsibilities.

Our whole team at Food Revolution Network has been working hard to bring you the most important event we’ve ever created.
This year's totally brand new Summit might be the largest and most significant gathering of healthy food lovers in world history! And we’re using a riveting docuseries video format to make it more engaging, more fun, and more life-changing than ever.
The Summit is open to everyone, and it’s especially for you if you…

  • Have a family history of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, dementia, or type 2 diabetes and want to stay healthy.
  • Live a life with large demands and can’t afford to slow down, lose a step with age, or get sideswiped by a major illness.
  • Face a debilitating condition or cope with chronic pain — and you want to know which foods can help you feel your best.
  • Have early warning signs like high cholesterol or elevated LDL, or your labs show signs of pre-diabetes — and you want to know which foods are scientifically shown to reverse these red flags.
  • Are fed up with the norms of a medical system that all too often pushes pills and surgeries over conscious lifestyle choices.
  • Want this year’s biggest nutritional and scientific breakthroughs so you can take action to make food the foundation of your health.
It’s also for you if you want to eat food that slashes your carbon footprint and contributes to a healthier planet NOW.

Here’s why it’s urgent to attend this year’s Summit:
Nutritional misinformation abounds.
That’s why you need a trusted resource to help cut through confusion so you can stay well-informed and make wise choices.
And that’s why we’ve hand-selected the very best, most enlightening experts who will teach you what to eat and do for extraordinary health.
For the 2024 Food Revolution Summit, we’ve interviewed 45 of the most credible food and health experts on the planet. And we’re putting it all together into a riveting eight-episode docuseries.
You’ll get the latest-breaking insights and find out what you need to know now to optimize your immune health and prevent heart disease, dementia, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Much of this information is so new you won’t read about it on blogs or in other health articles yet.
You’ll never think about food the same way. And you’ll be inspired to eat foods that bring you maximum energy, joy, health, and productivity… while avoiding foods that are toxic and deplete your health. (Some of these so-called “health foods” may surprise you.)
We’re so proud of this year’s speaker lineup and so excited to share it all with you.
