Letter from Dr. Gonino

admin — Tue, 09 May 2006 01:37:56 +0000

Hello everyone and welcome to our website. I had the opportunity to attend the spring American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) conference held here in Dallas last week. Some new information was presented on the topics of Lyme Disease, cancer, vitamin C, and chronic prostatitis among others. I found the information regarding Vitamin C and cancer as well as the chronic prostatitis the most clinically applicable for our practice. The vitamin C and cancer research was presented by Mark Levine, 0.D., Harvard University Medical School graduate who did his internal medicine residency and endocrinology fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He now is section chief of Molecular and Clinical Nutrition at the National Institute of Health (NIH). Highlights from his lecture include the following: 1) When taken orally the maximum amount of vitamin C the body can absorb is between 200 and 250 mg per day. Excess amounts are excreted in the urine. You may hear me at times recommend up to 4000 mg per day. This will primarily for people who are constipated and want something natural to treat their constipation with. 2) Obviously when Vitamin C is given i.v., you achieve 100% absorption / bioavailability. Daily the concentrations that can be achieved via the i.v. route are useful in killing cancer. 3) Dr. Levine research initially tested vitamin C against various types of cancers in the laboratory. Kidney and breast cancer cells were killed rather easily. The results were not as promising with colon cancer. 4) Cancer cells and normal cells die by a process called apoptosis or “programmed cell death”. The vitamin C worked so good against the kidney and breast cancer cells that they died by pyknosis; they just shriveled up, sort of like a grape that has all the fluid sucked out of it forms a raisin. 5) A study testing vitamin C against lymphoma cancer cells showed that as the extra cellular concentration of vitamin C was increased, more and more cancer cells died. Importantly, none of the 4 types of healthy normal cells were affected in the study, even at concentrations of 20 millimoles. 6) Similarly, cancer cells were killed when the study was repeated using between 10 and 250 micromolar concentrations of H2o2. 7) A case of a lady with B cell lymphoma was presented. The pathologist looked at her slides and determined the cell type to be very fast growing and predicted the patient would live one year or less. The patient chose not to do standard chemotherapy, opting instead for 10g of i.v. vitamin C weekly. She is alive and well to this date, 11 years later! Lastly, as you may know we offer i.v. vitamin C as well as others in our office. The utility of Vitamin C is against cancer, other i.v.’s are used in the cancer setting, as well as for atherosclerosis “clogged arteries”, and Candida overgrowth. This over growth is caused from antibiotics, steroids, birth control pills, eating sugar, etc. I hope that you enjoyed this article, I will bring some new information to the table in the near future. Dr. John Gonino

Coffee Good????

Don’t believe it for a minute! On August 29, 2005 the Dallas Morning News published the results of some research showing that coffee has more anti-oxidant properties than other beverages. This may indeed be true. However, remember that anything that is stimulatory in the body, such as caffeine, nicotine, sugar, workaholism, up-regulates a hormone called adrenaline. Adrenaline is the most powerful oxidizing agent known to mankind. This is to say that this hormone helps a body age faster than any other factor. The best adrenaline down-regulators are meditation, prayer, yoga, and tai-chi. Cicero said, “If you want to live long, live slowly”. Bottom line - my recommendation is to drink water and get your daily anti-oxidants in fruits, vegetables and oral supplements.

God Bless You All,

Dr. Gonino

Mixing Government and Supplements?

admin — Mon, 15 Aug 2005 01:37:16 +0000

Currently, seven out of every ten Americans use nutritional supplements to support their health. Unfortunately, new legislation in the U.S. House of representatives (H.R.3156) threatens consumers’ access to these supplements, even though they are already regulated by the Food and Drug Administration under Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. The proposed bill would subject at least 70 percent of the supplements now available to Americans to stricter government oversight and would seriously threaten consumer access to this useful form of nutritional support. The unprecedented requirements of H.R. 3156 will undoubtedly translate into higher prices for these useful supplements unless consumers take action. Contact your Congressional representatives to let them know how you feel about this important issue. The National Nutritional Foods Association has sample letters that consumers can use or modify before e-mailing their Congressmen: Visit www.nnfa.org to make your voice heard. Consumer action has had an enormous impact on another area of natural health organic foods and beverages. Thanks to consumers who’re looking food produced without persistent, toxic chemicals, organic acreage in the U.S. has more than doubled since 1993. In the world of dwindling resources, organic agriculture procedures as much food per acre as conventional farming, while conserving soil quality, water, and biological resources with 30 percent less fossil fuel.
