Garry Gordon is the Genius of Complementary Medicine—Listen CloselyGarry Gordon, M.D., D.O.,

M.D.(H.) is a genius. Everyonewho knows him or has heard

about him—and who has a shred ofhonesty—agrees on this. Some ofhis fiercest critics might not likedoing so. But if they’re being hon-est, they will.

Garry is smarter than your doctorand, even if your doctor is brilliant,he or she could learn a thing of twofrom Dr. Gordon.

If you’re a health-conscious con-sumer, you’ve probably never heardmuch talk about Gordon—althoughwithin the field of complementarymedicine, practitioners are alwaystalking about Dr. Gordon and wherehis research is heading.

Like a river, Dr. Gordon is alwaysflowing. And, as the ancient Greekphilosopher Heraclitus observed, youcannot step into the same river twice.Most reporters and writers—evensome famous ones—have tosseddown their notebooks, switched offtheir recorders and thrown up theirhands in frustration, begging Dr.Gordon to just slow down. To explainthings. To start with basics. But hedoesn’t have time for lightweights.He can’t or won’t slow down; we’renot sure which. Because, of course,Dr. Gordon is a man on a mission,which is to educate his fellow doc-tors on the true cause of heart dis-ease; and the true cause of cancer;the true cause of many other condi-tions; the safest, most effective treat-ments for these and many otherconditions; the list could go on andon. So, you see, he can’t simply slowdown. He doesn’t have time.

We could tell you that he began hismedical career as a radiologist. Thatwas a long time ago now at a verymainstream hospital in SanFrancisco. We could tell you he liter-ally wrote the book on intravenous

chelation therapy. But that wasanother lifetime ago, too. He part-nered with Procter & Gamble on anow legendary chelation project thatproduced amazing anti-aging resultsbut which the behemoth corporationsimply didn’t get or didn’t want to fol-low through with.

When he ran his medical clinic innorthern California, he pioneeredmeasuring bodily accumulation oftoxic heavy metals and linked suchbio-burdens to various environmentalillnesses. This was before mainstreammedicine had even begun to appreci-ate the threat that environmental con-taminants pose to human health.

He has been an advocate of med-ical freedom and has defended com-plementary medicine and helpedlegitimized this approach, perhapsmore than any other doctor today. Wecannot easily count the number ofdoctors throughout the countrywho’ve been in trouble with medicalboards and whom Gordon has helped.To them, he has been a true friend intimes of need.

Today, Gordon is a member of theBoard of Medical Examiners forAlternative and HomeopathicMedicine in the State of Arizona,Director of Peer Review for chelationtherapy for the State of Arizona, anda member of the Board of Directorsfor the National Foundation forAlternative Medicine, which wasfounded by former six-time IowaCongressman Berkley Biddell toinvestigate and validate the manypromising alternative therapies thatare being developed now in theUnited States and abroad. Oh, andsomewhere along the way, he foundthe time to found the InternationalCollege for the Advancement ofLongevity Medicine (ICALM) and,most recently, partnered with theInternational Oxidative Medicine

Association to host this April inPhoenix, an important conference,“New Oxidative/Chelation & CancerTherapies that Work,” which bringstogether the world’s many leadingexperts to discuss medicinal mush-rooms, heparin, Redox, blood viscos-ity, transforming growth factor-beta,Wobenzym N, nattokinase, stem cells,artemisia, carnivora, oral chelationtherapy, and a whole lot more.

To say that Gordon has but onepassion is simply not true, but, lately,one of his most passionate quests hasbeen to validate nontoxic methods ofhelping heart disease patients. It isn’tthat he is against medical drugs. Butin the course of thirty years of treat-ing heart disease patients, he realizesnow that natural medicine has somuch to offer, and that, for many peo-ple, it might well be the preferablecourse to follow.

In his own practice, the testament tohis acumen is that he has lostabsolutely nopatient in thelast ten yearsto heart dis-ease. This isin light ofthe fact thathe often getsthe patientswho have triedeverything else,including bypass

24 The Doctors’ Prescription for Healthy Living / Volume 7, Number 4

surgery, and who come to him as a last-ditch effort to get well, to stay alive.

The Gordon ProtocolsThere are many aspects to theGordon protocols for heart diseaseand circulatory disorders. These aretailored to individual patients.

But there are some commonalitiesthat most anyone can profitably adoptfor their own health regimen. Forexample, oral chelation is critical tohis program, and almost all patientstoday can utilize oral chelators.

Also critical to his program aretwo enzyme preparations,Wobenzym® N and Rutozym®, fromNaturally Vitamins and MucosPharma GmbH, and numerous otherherbs and nutrients.

We met with Dr. Gordon inJanuary in Phoenix to record this firstof our several interviews. Hold tight.

HLWould you say that surgery forthe treatment of heart disease

is coming to an end? In other words, arewe ready for a new approach?

GGRelying on extremely sim-plistic risk factors to handle

cardiovascular problems which leadto heart attacks (America’s numberone killer) is long overdue for akinder, safer, non-invasive approach.Cholesterol lowering (the key riskfactor for those not having time to

research) is finally beingreplaced by far more mean-ingful parameters.

These new parametersshould empower moreand more patients to giveup many of the danger-ous, expensive choles-terol-lowering drugs onwhich they’ve been

sold and encourage them to questiontheir excessive reliance on surgicalintervention for the treatment ofheart disease.

HLYou often talk about vulnerableplaque. What is vulnerable

plaque and why is it so significant?

GGThe science behind thesenew parameters is an aston-

ishing breakthrough, which can besummed up in two words: vulnerableplaque. Research has now shown thatthis unstable plaque is not seen onthe arteriogram! Therefore, what thedoctor does NOT see is the dangerousplaque that leads to the massiveblood clot that kills almost 50 percentof Americans today. We have longknown that all obstructing plaquethat can be seen can be reversedwith diet, exercise, and meditationprograms such as those Dr. DeanOrnish has developed. Now we learnthat these VISIBLE lesions that havecaused doctors to recommend somany needless bypass and otherinvasive surgical procedures for heartdisease are not the ones that areinvolved in 85 percent of all heartattacks! That explains why we havenot found a really significant reduc-tion in heart attacks or deaths in sur-gically operated patients. It appearsthat we have been operating need-lessly on the wrong plaque!

HLThis is truly revolutionary butalso quite disturbing that our

medical establishment might be usingsurgical and drug interventions whenother safer, more effective approachesare at hand.

GGI couldn’t agree more. Butwe have to face facts: our

new understanding about the role ofinfection and inflammation in SUD-DEN DEATH from heart attacks sug-

gests that all current surgically basedapproaches to heart disease are asmisguided as removing your lung ifyou have pneumonia! We need tofocus on the blood and NOT the bloodvessel! We need to treat the blood, notcut out the artery. Even your doctormay not be informed regarding someof the recent important develop-ments that have surfaced so rapidlyin the past several months. Theseprovide the ability to see the danger-ous VULNERABLE plaque NONINVA-SIVELY with a high speed MRI andother special devices that are nowbeing developed. These are state ofthe art, highly specialized instru-ments which are not yet found inlocal hospitals, but which will beinvaluable in cardiovascular clinics inthe future.

Although the popular high speedCAT scan provides useful informationregarding the calcium content, this isnot measuring the really dangerousvulnerable plaque; therefore, I rec-ommend that you, nevertheless, usea bad score on this test to motivateyou to carefully follow the advice andrecommendations contained in thisinterview, and then do a retest in afuture time because it is important tomake that calcium content lower, but,I must stress, the test does not iden-tify the vulnerable plaque.

HLHeart disease appears to beclosely linked to inflammation.

Tell us about this exciting new discoveryand why it is so important to the aver-age person.

GGThe inflammation/infectionaspect of heart disease was

given added validation by: (1) therecognition of a new measurement ofinterleukin-1, an inflammatorymarker, a report on which was pub-lished in 1999 in the American HeartAssociation journal Circulation and(2) in a review article published in1999 in The New England Journal ofMedicine.

Further validation was added bythe recent report published in JAMAshowing that up to 55 percent of

But we have to face facts: our new understanding about therole of infection and inflammation in SUDDEN DEATH fromheart attacks suggests that all current surgically basedapproaches to heart disease are as misguided as removingyour lung if you have pneumonia! We need to focus on theblood and NOT the blood vessel! We need to treat the blood,not cut out the artery.

B Y PA S S I N G T H E B Y PA S S c o n t i n u e d

Garry Gordon continued from page 25

heart attacks appear to be preventa-ble by treatment with proper antibi-otics. In addition, evidence publishedin Science in February 1999, impli-cates an infectious bacteria known aschlamydia, while cytomegalovirus(CMV) and herpes (common retro-viruses) have also been shown to beclosely connected with heart attacks.Chlamydia is a disease to which up to95 percent of us are exposed duringour lives.

HLI guess what you’re leading upto is that inflammation might

be the prime cause of heart disease; yet,it is extremely difficult to stop inflam-mation with a knife! Also, you’re proba-bly saying that the bug we caught ayear or two ago might never really havegone away.

GGYes, absolutely. It’s beenthere, dormant, in the attic,

so to speak, and it never went away.And it can re-emerge and probablyhas been transported throughout thebody hidden away in your ownwhite blood cells, attacking yourmost vulnerable tissues, like yourarteries. The pathogenic infectionsare part of the inflammation, andexperts studying vulnerable plaqueagree that there’s an inflammatorycomponent to this extremely dan-gerous vulnerable plaque, whichconfirms that surgery would not bethe correct approach. This meansthat both patients and doctors alikeshould look past the quick surgicalremedies toward new discoveries.And while these new parametersbecome more refined andirrefutable, we must improve ourdiet and life style, exercise, andmaintain a healthy immune systemby taking long-term oral chelatingand other detoxifying supplements,and SAFE anti-inflammatory, antiox-idant, antithrombotic, lipid-lower-ing, natural supplement therapies.

HLYou maintain that a safe anti-inflammatory and comprehen-

sive cardiovascular supplement exists—and that it isn’t aspirin.

GGAt this time, I am happy toreport that those of my

patients utilizing oral chelation com-bined with three to five Wobenzym Ntablets, twice daily, and a newenzyme preparation, nattokinase(Rutozym®), are convenientlyaddressing all of the newly recognizedmolecular mechanisms of heart dis-ease—from controlling homocysteine,and elevated cholesterol or triglyc-erides, to lowering C-reactive protein,which is rapidly becoming the MOSTimportant test in cardiology! Ofcourse, there are other aspects to ourprogram that are also critical. But oralchelation, Wobenzym N andRutozym are acutely critical for liter-ally all patients.

HLWhat about aspirin? So manydoctors today are telling their

heart disease patients to take an aspirina day. Are you saying not to?

GGAspirin is okay in an emer-gency, but we need safe

long-term help. Again, it is time tostop focusing on the artery wall andthe visible plaque seen onangiograms and time to look at the farmore important inflammatory andclotting components in the blood-

stream. We have heard that taking anaspirin when one is having a heartattack can increase survival, whichshould be a temporary emergencymeasure only. But we know from sta-tistics that the great majority of usseem to need some long-term anti-clotting protection against the mas-sive blood clots that we now believeare involved in lethal heart attacks.

Researchers are finding that longterm use of anti-inflammatory drugsis a MAJOR factor in helping to pre-vent not just Alzheimer’s disease, butheart attacks and strokes as well! Theproblem is that although there arenow proven benefits from taking adaily dose of aspirin and/or otherNSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflamma-tory drugs), we pay dearly for thesebenefits with over 20,000 deaths, andover 125,000 hospitalizations annu-ally, generally related to internalbleeding although liver and kidneydamage are also far too common.

Of course, before anyone substi-tutes natural remedies for their doc-tor’s prescribed or recommendedmedications, including over-the-counter preparations like aspirin orprescription drugs, they must seekqualified professional help. I do,however, recommend that theybring this article—as well as manyothers on the same topic from thismagazine—to their doctor.

What their doctor needs to knowis that today we can offer ourpatients a major new nutritionallybased therapy that acts like an oralvaccination against heart disease.This exciting development assists us

in dealing with the infectionaspect of vascular disease andwill help control seriouschronic viral and other infec-tions now being implicated inheart attack and stroke. It isadvisable for all of us to take adaily, safe affordable anti-inflammatory treatment thathas been documented to have

26 The Doctors’ Prescription for Healthy Living / Volume 7, Number 4

At this time, I am happy to report that those of my patients utilizing oral chelation combined with three to five Wobenzym N

tablets, twice daily, and a new enzyme preparation, nattoki-nase (Rutozym®), are conveniently addressing all of the newly

recognized molecular mechanisms of heart disease—from controlling homocysteine, and elevated cholesterol or

triglycerides, to lowering C-reactive protein, which is rapidlybecoming the MOST important test in cardiology!

no side effects and which has beenshown to offer us many far reachingbenefits that we all need as we age.These include effectively treatingmost forms of arthritis better thanstandard medicine today, increasingthe life span of all cancer patients aminimum of 30 percent and thushelping to control this disease, pro-tecting against injuries, and fortify-ing our immune systems everyday ofour lives.

Fortunately, Germany has devel-oped an all-natural combinationenzyme-bioflavonoid product that iswidely available in most countriesand known as Wobenzvm N. Withthis product, we get all the benefits ofanti-inflammatory medication with-out the high incidence of gastroin-testinal bleeding associated with theuse of aspirin and the many otherdocumented side effects known todevelop after the long-term use ofNSAIDS and other standard anti-inflammatory medications.

HLHow is its safety profile?

GGWell, because this is one ofthe leading ‘drugs’ through-

out Europe and it and its closelyrelated cousins areavailable both

by prescription and over-the-counterand regulations are much moredemanding, numerous clinical andlaboratory studies have been con-ducted. In fact, Wobenzym N hassubstantially more overall documen-tation than most of the heart medica-tions now being commonlyprescribed or doctor recommended.More than 100 million people haveused Wobenzym N in a thirty-yearperiod. During that time no detri-mental side effects have beenreported from its use. Manufacturedby the Mucos Company in Germanysince the 1960s, Wobenzym N is nowwidely available in the United States,thanks to Naturally Vitamins, at atime when there is a greater needthan ever before to include it in ournutritional defense program. Unlikemost enzymes on the market, thisenzyme is specially designed so thatit is not used to digest food but is usedinternally, inside the bloodstream,beneficially affecting many of the fac-tors that are now known to lead to thedevelopment of serious diseases.These factors range from: (1) circulat-ing immune complexes to those havebeen shown to shorten our lifespan suchas (2) lowering the elevated levels offibrinogen that tend to make ourblood thicker as we get older; (3)treating herpes and other viral andbacterial infections—either alone oras part of a total anti-infection pro-gram; and (4) lowering elevated C-reactive proteins to the lowest 50percentile or the lower portion of theso-called normal range.

HLExplain to our readers theimportance of C-reactive protein.

GGThis is a protein the bodymanufactures and

releases in response toinflammation and infec-tion. It is now thought tobe a far more reliable indi-cator of whether someoneis going to have a heartattack or stroke than cho-lesterol and virtually allother markers doctorsnow are using. The testcan be performed at your

doctor’s office and should be priced ataround fifty dollars. It’s relativelyinexpensive and critical.Unfortunately, the so-called “normal”range at the current time is much toowide. For optimum health, we shouldplace our limit on figures set farlower than they are at present.

HLWhat should doctors tell theirpatients in terms of testing?

GGThere are many otheraspects to this revolution in

heart disease. As we mentioned ear-lier, the literature being published isescalating; so too is the informationregarding these tests that are nowrecognized as significant in determin-ing risk factors.

If your doctor could keep up withcurrent published literature, some ofthe tests he would prescribe for youwould not be just cholesterol evenwith its subsets of HDLs and LDLs, butalso the newer lipoprotein-a and latestoxidized cholesterol antibody test.

Furthermore, adhesion moleculessuch as VCAM and ICAM that meas-ure how sticky your blood has becomein your blood can now be measured atthe molecular level. VCAM and ICAMare vascular and intercellular adhe-sion molecules that have been impli-cated in the impaired circulation ofthe tiny vessels (capillaries) that even-tually lead to loss of vision with suchcommon conditions as maculardegeneration and glaucoma.

Platelet aggregation tests showhow sticky platelets become whenchallenged. Note: This leads to theblood clots that we now recognize asthe immediate cause of death inMANY heart attacks and strokes!

Homocysteine should be tested.But, please note, this test cannot beaccurately done in a serum separa-tor tube. It needs 1.5 gm of methio-nine taken orally four hours beforein order to help identify the approx-imately thirty percent of us who arefound to have this DANGEROUSand now COMMON but generallyunrecognized amino acid metabo-lism problem.

Serum ferritin levels are donebecause most of us have dangerouslyelevated levels of iron, this becauseso many of us have mistakenly beentaking vitamin and mineral supple-ments containing IRON. Having ele-vated iron levels is as dangerous ashaving elevated lead. This iron over-load is contributing to our alreadyheavy metal-poisoned bodies.

Fasting insulin levels, triglyc-erides/HDL ratio, Redox, pH, bloodflow resistance, APO E-2, 3, 4 bloodtype testing, food allergy tests—theseare also all useful in helping optimizeour lifestyle and dietary program.

Fatty acid analysis (on red bloodcell membranes) and amino acid test-ing on urine or blood are all part ofthe extremely useful tests, whichallow me to individualize the optimalnutritional support program for mypatients.

Of course, don’t forget C-reactiveprotein testing.

These tests are available throughspecially licensed laboratories in theUnited States such as Immuno-sciences, Beverly Hills, California at(800) 950-4686 and Great SmokiesDiagnostic Laboratory, Asheville,North Carolina at (800) 522-4762.

HLYou’ve also added nattokinase toyour patients’ regimens. We’ve

noticed that this enzyme is now becomingquite readily available to consumers in ahealth food store product calledRutozym, which is from NaturallyVitamins (the same company that pro-duces and distributes Wobenzym N).

GGHow are you going to thinyour blood and take a pre-

ventive approach to vulnerableplaque that can cause the deadly clotsabout which we are so concerned?And that’s where nattokinase and theexperience of Wobenzym N andthese kinds of things can change yourability to treat these diseases. I’mtelling you these things are compli-cated and you don’t want to jump toconclusions, but you need to realizethese are important tools. I mean, I’drather see patients taking nattokinase

and literally chewing away presump-tive blood clots than meeting themlater inside the confines of a hospitalICU after a heart attack or stroke—and that’s what nattokinase excels at,keeping my patients out of hospitalICUs. In fact, it is more potent thanthe clot-busting intravenous drugs weuse there; yet, paradoxically, it iscompletely safe.

Thrombosis is a disease caused bythrombi formation within blood ves-sels. It leads to complications likeheart disease, infarction, stroke, andsenile dementia. You can’t believehow many people are getting clotsand nobody puts them on any kind ofprotection after surgery.

Natto, the source of nattokinase, isa food. If you can eat this you’remade out of better stuff than I am.This is fermented tofu, and it hasbeen eaten as a Japanese staple formore than one thousand years. InJapan where I live and teach threeweeks out of the year, I won’t walkdown the street where I can smell thestuff because I won’t be able to eat forthe next five hours. It makes myappetite go away. So you thinksweaty socks are bad! But what nat-tokinase can do for your blood issomething else! Nattokinase, theactive principle in natto, was discov-ered 18 years ago. It acts much likeplasmin and gently up-regulates thebody’s anti-clotting pathways. Wehave high-resolution images of nat-tokinase literally eating away artifi-cially induced canine blood clots, sowhen our patients have thick blood inthe morning, their body’s ability todissolve incipient clotting is greatlyincreased. Whereas with the oralEDTA/sulfated polysaccharide for-mulas I recommend we are workingon removal of calcium and other arte-rial deposits, so I’m getting both sidesof a complicated issue.

Nattokinase is more important andmore potent and much more eco-nomically feasible than any currentthrombolytic agent including uroki-nase. It’s a two-pronged attack, as itdissolves fibrin and also gently

yet effectively upregulates the body’sown anti-clotting mechanisms.Nattokinase can be used intra-venously but is also highly effectivewhen taken orally. So, again, this isperfect for my preventive healthpatients.

By the way, nattokinase is verymuch like the plasmin we also some-times use. But it takes a ton of earth-worm to get a kilogram of plasmin.We use plasmin, however, because it’sbeen used for a thousand years inChina. And guess what the indicationwas in Traditional Chinese Medicinefor using plasmin? It was for bloodstagnation. Isn’t that amazing!Eastern and Western medicine com-ing full circle.

But the fibrin thing…when I didtake a bunch of plasmin, I suddenlycould do almost 20 percent moreexercise the next day, suggesting thatthese infections that we all carry areimpairing our oxygen delivery to thecapillaries and wherever that fibrincoat is going. So, there’s a lot to learnhere, folks. I don’t want to put you tosleep with big things like this, but Iwant to make it very clear that thefibrinogen, which we all know is arisk factor, goes upwhenever C-reactive pro-tein goes up,and it goesup specifi-cally wherethe infection

28 The Doctors’ Prescription for Healthy Living / Volume 7, Number 4

Garry Gordon continued from page 27

is most active. Fibrinogen is the latephase marker of inflammation. Andthen it goes in the direction of athrombus or blood clot, so we needthat Wobenzym N to provably getour C-reactive protein levels down toa healthy range.

But here with nattokinase, youhave this other pathway that we canuse to break up that thrombus, if itdoes get that far, and help break itinto fibrin-degradation products. Sothis new metabolic biological enzymewith potent fibrinolytic activity rivalsthe pharmaceutical agents. It’s beenaround for more than one thousandyears now, too, and we know it is sovery safe, thanks to the great clinicalwork that Ralph Holsworth, D.O, isdoing now in New Mexico. We’vealready done about one million dol-lars worth of studies on it. So hereyou have something that’s backed byresearch that shows that it wouldwork in stroke, angina, venous stasis,thrombosis emboli, atherosclerosis,fibromyalgia, fatigue, claudication,retinal pathology, hypertension, dia-betes, deep vein thrombosis, and arte-rial embolism.

HLWe want to again emphasizethat a lot of nutritional sup-

plements are on the market and thereare a thousand claims for them but,often, these products lack the studieswe need to truly validate their efficacy.In this case, with Wobenzym N andRutozym, what you are talking about,you’re not making a thousand claims,you’re not making any claims forwhich there isn’t clinical evidence orexperimental studies that have beendone. And the implications are enor-mous, not only for heart disease, butfor many other conditions that we nowsee as being inflammation-related. Forexample, another manifestation ofinflammation is Alzheimer’s. Tell us alittle bit about the experimentalresearch on Wobenzym N andAlzheimer’s disease.

GGIt is very exciting because aswe said when we first started

talking about this stuff if we can turnoff inflammation alone we are pre-venting half of the Alzheimer’s andhalf of the Parkinson’s disease cases inthis country, and we know that we aredoing that with Wobenzym N. If welook at the broader implications, ofcourse, of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s,we do know that there will be a metal

toxicity aspect, a free radical aspect,and we know that we can add otherthings. But the nice thing aboutWobenzym N is it is getting at theunderlying inflammation that is thecommon pathway in all of these con-ditions, but I as a chelating doctor,will also take out the lead and themercury, and I am very much excitedabout the iron chelation potential ofthe rutin component of Wobenzym

N because I am convinced from myresearch if we get iron levels downthat all inflammations are easier totreat; infections are also easier totreat because we know that bacteriathrive with iron. Thirty percent ofdiabetics would not remain diabetic ifyou merely lower iron levels. And allof us seem to live longer in general ifwe don’t have high levels of iron inour tissue as manifested by ferritinlevels, which turned out to be so pre-dictive in our 18-year study on 15,000patients in Japan, where we havebeen able to keep them entirely can-cer-free by looking at simple markersof early problems like elevated fer-ritin.

HLSo again, with Wobenzym N,are we talking then about a

substance that you can use basically asan anti-aging medicine?

GGAbsolutely. That continuesto be so even when we look

at the new world that I am now in. Ihave been involved in anti-agingmedicine for well over thirty years. Iwas one of the first doctors to getinvolved in it, go to the meetings ofthe American Aging Association, andthere has only been one thing miss-ing in the whole field of anti-agingresearch, and that was to get consen-sus of top scientists as to what thetests will be that we are going to useto prove that it is worthwhile to takeyour Wobenzym N everyday of yourlife. How are we going to prove that itis giving you something useful?

Well now, we have finally put thisall together, and it is called inner-age.com, and now we have consensuson the tests that are going to tell ushow old you are now, not chronologi-cally, but biologically.

Wobenzym N is going to be one ofthe key factors in hitting every one ofthose tests we are now agreeing onthat are major biomarkers of aging—from the flexibility of our tissues toour stimulus-response rate, and ourmemory rate, across the board. It isvery exciting because now the field ofaging is moving finally into scientifi-cally corroborated biomarkers ofaging, and if we look at what all those

B Y PA S S I N G T H E B Y PA S S c o n t i n u e d

Volume 7, Number 4/ The Doctors’ Prescription for Healthy Living 29

I am very much excited about the iron chelation potential of therutin component of Wobenzym N because I am convinced frommy research if we get iron levels down that all inflammationsare easier to treat; infections are also easier to treat because weknow that bacteria thrive with iron. Thirty percent of diabeticswould not remain diabetic if you merely lower iron levels. And all of us seem to live longer in general if we don’t have high levels of iron in our tissue as manifested by ferritin levels

B Y PA S S I N G T H E B Y PA S S c o n t i n u e d

areas, elevated ferritin levels, C-reac-tive protein—everything we havebeen talking about here is going to fitthe model perfectly, so, yes,Wobenzym N will have a huge mar-ket as the baby boomers begin to sayto themselves that they can afford toswallow some tablets that cannotharm them and have all this potentialfor good, and they don’t have to waituntil they are crippled by arthritis, orexperience cancer or heart diseasefirsthand. I myself am interested instaying young as long as possible andwith the studies that I did with Procter& Gamble, we found a tremendousincrease in average lifespan in ani-mals when we prevented free radicaldamage from excess iron. We had aniron chelator then called EDTA that

was extremely effective in average lifespan and the skin didn’t age and youdidn’t get skin cancer and you didn’tburn when you were out in the sun.So, I am really very much an advocateof the iron chelation potential andclearly, quite apart from the pancre-atic enzymes, bromelain andpapain in the Wobenzym N formula,the ability of its rutin component isalso critical and is clearly a major con-tributor to the effectiveness ofWobenzym N.

HLShall we discuss rutin and itsiron chelation potential as a

topic for our next interview becausewe’re just about out of time.

GGThat’s a deal.
