Put Down The Duckie – Gently Releasing Old Habits For A Healthier Life
Betty used to joke that her eyes would glaze over when Sam started excitedly talking about the science that his concepts were based on! She wanted to focus on how that information could be translated into everyday living. So Put Down The Duckie was born.
The resulting 12 issues that she and Sam created together help you change your lifestyle gradually and painlessly. Each focuses on one of Sam’s health concepts, with the attitude that habits are acquired over time and therefore need time to be changed. With some science, stories, recipes and hints, you are gently guided toward doing just that.
Originally planned as a bi-monthly newsletter to give you a couple of months to bond with a new habit before starting on the next one – you can use these different issues and topics to plan your own program, knowing that at every step you’re improving your health for the long term.

Iron Status: The Good, the Bad and the Ironic
An altered iron status may underlie almost all health conditions, from anemia to every cancer, disease, infection and toxicity. Sadly, the typical chemistry profile is gross lacking in the markers needed to make an iron status assessment – and even when a full iron assessment is required, clinicians are often confused about which markers to order and how to interpret the test results. All of this is addressed, along with an introduction of IHR’s Free Iron Risk Index (FIRI) to better assess the influence of acid pH on free iron risk.

The Toxicity of Free, Unbound Iron
Iron – a very necessary dietary mineral – also has a down side. In an uncontrolled setting, it’s a highly toxic heavy metal. Iron plays a role in virtually every toxicity, infection, cancer, and disease condition. The balance is found somewhere between the total body burden, how efficiently the body binds iron, and to what extent the body’s underlying chemistry supports or hinders its design to control iron for our benefit. Whether it works for or against us depends upon our success at supporting the body’s design for the procurement and handling of iron.

Cholesterol Hysteria – The New Health Risk Created by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)
No one is going to argue the fact that an elevated total serum cholesterol (TSC) increases one’s risk for heart disease, and that an elevated TSC needs to be reduced. That is true, and is extremely important when considering a total picture of health. However lowering TSC using a low-fat/low-cholesterol diet; without putting limits on how low it should be; without regard to HDL being lowered at the same time; without understanding the patient’s complete health picture (i.e. without understanding what caused the high TSC in the first place); and without regard to what effects a lowered TSC has on areas of health besides heart health; can be extremely dangerous.
The public is getting the message that just because heart disease can be controlled-if they would only lower their cholesterol levels-the problem is solved and needs not be looked into any more. This, of course, is wrong. When solving one problem creates another, then the first problem is not really solved-only shelved.

Use It, Don’t Lose It
Not only do you need to eat protein for health, you also need to be able to process it properly so you’re getting the best use of it. Sam often saw people who ate plenty of protein, and yet were protein deficient. There are ways to ensure this happens through your diet, and they’re fairly easy to accomplish.

Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs Should Carry A Warning – The Mercury Connection
Although the success of cholesterol lowering has definitely reduced the incidence of heart attacks, this is not a one-size-fits all solution for the public at large. The response of the chronically mercury toxic patient to cholesterol lowering drugs could lead to adverse and fatal reactions for them.

Viruses are encased in a protein. The virus will affect us only when a protease enzyme of some kind destroys the protein encasement. Glutathione can destroy the protease that a virus produces.
Reduced Glutathione selectively scavenges for free radicals that vitamin E can’t reach and helps prevent free radical formation in the first place by attaching to and neutralizing sulfhydryl-friendly oxidants, such as mercury and other heavy metals.
Glutathione is oxidized and must be converted back to the reduced state before it is again useful. Some products fail to comply with this need and are marketed as a mixture of reduced and oxidized glutathione. Such products will only say “Glutathione” on the label. Make sure you only get one that says REDUCED GLUTATHIONE on the bottle.

Laying the Groundwork for Clinical Use
Protease supplementation has been promoted for various reasons for many years – such as utilization of serum protein, minimization of scar tissue after surgery, countering muscle and connective tissue wasting, slowing and preventing progression of cataracts – to name just a few. Yet, academic institutions have long discredited its benefit. This issue provides an understanding of the nuances surrounding the practical, beneficial use of protease enzymes, as well as the potential risks; along with an in-depth explanation of the basic functions of proteases and their inhibitors, and the mechanisms of absorption for each.

Inflammation
Inflammation is absolutely necessary if repair of damaged tissues to to take place, but chronic inflammation is the main producer of free radicals, which can lead to a worsening of the patient’s condition – especially where autoimmune disease is involved. The value of steroid therapy is well established, but select nutrients offer a safer and more effective approach. Explains how the body handles inflammation naturally, which nutrients are involved, and at what dosage. By implementing this information, doctors can markedly reduce the need for steroid drugs and avoid them entirely in some cases – thereby avoiding the risk of serious side effects. How, when, and at what dosage anti-inflammatory nutrients should be administered are thoroughly covered – information that can assist the patient in recovery from virtually every disease.

What It Is: Brewer’s yeast – produced in the making of beer – is loaded with nutrition, containing all the essential amino acids, B vitamins, chromium GTF (glucose tolerance factor) and trace minerals.
Useful For: Rebuilding nerves.*
How It Works: Brewer’s yeast is often recommended for people who are trying to get a little bit of extra nutrition in their diet, as well as for people with neurological problems due to mercury toxicity.
Contrary to popular belief, Brewer’s yeast does not cause candida (yeast infections), but people who have a food sensitivity to yeast proteins may react to it slightly.
What To Look For: Don’t purchase nutritional yeast, which is of variable quality and generally lacking in GTF.

Reversing Chemical- or Neurotoxin-Induced Damage to the Brain and Nervous System – The Role of Fruits, Vegetables, and Whole Eggs
The fact that diet and lifestyle play an important role in the normal functioning of the nervous system and mental health is hardly a new revelation. Most people suffer the effects of heavy metals and neurotoxic chemicals without ever recognizing the cause. The initial damage is inflicted through free radical oxidation of the membrane lipids that are vital to the function and integrity of nerve and brain tissue.
By integrating the information found here into a treatment program many of those affected by neurotoxins can again live a fruitful and productive life.

1997 – The Year In Review
- A Summary of Amalgam-Related Research – The transcript of Sam’s presentation before the Colorado Board of Dental Examiners in 1996 when they were considering denying people the right to ask a dentist to remove their fillings. As a result of the efforts put forth by Sam and many others, the Board decided not to deny people this choice.
- The Overuse of Antibiotics
- Bacteria and Infections – Sam condenses his Free Radical Therapy perspective on the topic.
- Colloidal Silver and Mild Silver Protein – possibly effective for treating Lyme disease, but not for routine use for fighting viral and bacterial infections. Control of academia and inflammation is more effective.

Acidemia/Free Calcium Excess
Acid pH and excesses of free calcium hinder Free Radical Therapy by enhancing free radical production and slowing the activity of antioxidants. Chronic excesses of free calcium are one of the many outcomes of chronic inflammation, and will ultimately be deposited in tissues if not corrected. These deposits contribute to a wide assortment of diseased conditions ranging from arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure to osteoarthritis, or pseudogout. Free calcium accumulation and acid pH are also important features of the atherosclerotic lesion. When present in the pancreas, the combination raises one’s risk of diabetes by interfering with normal insulin output. To counter these effects, doctors often give calcium channel blocker drugs, which carry their own risks. This issue shows you how to solve the same problem without drugs, or with reduced dosages that are equally effective and much, much safer. The mechanisms of pH control in the body and what can be done from a diet and lifestyle perspective to maintain pH at a level that is consistent with the requirements for optimum health. It is the answer for overcoming pathogenic bacteria without antibiotics, for for overcoming those that are antibiotic resistant – a situation for which there has previously been no answer.

An Important Early Step Toward Optimum Health
An adequate balance and population of bacteria that normally inhabit the gastrointestinal tract is fundamental to answering Sam’s eternal question: What constitutes health? Scientific findings in recent years indicate they play a fundamental role in protecting patients from a multitude of disease conditions. A deficiency or imbalance sets the stage for a cascade of events that may lead to the onset and progression of many health conditions.
Doctors of every specialty will benefit from what’s provided here: a better understanding of their functions, knowing the food sources in which they’re found, choosing supplements carefully, and discovering how the use of these organisms might enhance a patient’s treatment outcome, no matter what the initial problem is.

Vitamin D: Health Panacea or Killer?
We Have A Choice
Vitamin D has been touted as the wonder vitamin. At first blush the reasoning seems sound, and the practice of recommending a vitamin D supplement to anyone who bears a low vitamin D reading has become commonplace. But careful examination also uncovers layers within the research that raise concerns. This four-part series-in-one, addresses the big picture, identifies risks, instructs in how to properly and effectively assess vitamin D status, and guide you in protocols for proceeding. This is the best clinical example of why a Human Health Model is so vitally necessary for understanding chemistry. Disease Model interpretation will always mislead with hormone chemistry.

Low Cholesterol and Cancer – Another Piece of the Puzzle
While cholesterol-lowering studies show that heart attack risk is lessened when cholesterol is reduced, the total death rate does not show a decrease. Research points to the fact that cancer and suicide rates increase to make up the difference. The incidence of violent deaths has been examined in other issues.
Focusing on cancer in this issue, the question arises is the onset of cancer the result of pre-clinical disease in which the precancerous process promotes cholesterol reduction months before cancer becomes obvious, or does cholesterol reduction actually promote cancer in certain people?

**GOOD NEWS!! After being told yet again that our previous supplier will be out for at least ANOTHER 2 months, we went in search of our own supplier of pure New Zealand bovine colostrum – Sam’s preferred source – and it has now arrived directly from New Zealand!**
What It Is: Colostrum is the life-giving fluid that enhances the immune system of a newborn. Even though all mammals produce colostrum, supplements are usually made from the colostrum of cows. Bovine colostrum is similar to human colostrum – rich in vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, disease-fighting proteins, growth hormones, and digestive enzymes.
Useful For: Colostrum is a heavy source of lactoferrin and lactoglobulin that will bind up iron. Ideal for anybody with a high free iron risk index, or a low pH with an infection. It stimulates human growth hormone. It also helps produce more antibodies to fight either viral or bacterial infections. It is used along the mucosal lining and binds iron in the gastrointestinal tract. It is also found to affect the immune system as well as degenerative diseases when used in supplementation. Dr. Dwyer of the New England Journal of Medicine states, “Immunoglobulins in colostrum have been used to successfully treat: Anemia, Thrombocytopenia, Neutropenia, Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain Barré Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bullous Pemphigoid, Kawasaki’s Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Crohn’s disease, among others.”*
How It Works: A mother’s colostrum supplies all the immune building antibodies, i.e., IgG, IgM, IgE and IgA, which have the capability to fight off bacteria, viruses, and allergies. In addition to supplying the immune building antibodies, a mother’s colostrum also supplies all the nutrients needed for the baby to grow.
*Supplement comments from Sam’s studies are provided for background information only.

Free Radicals, Oxidants, and Oxidative Stress as a Cause of Disease
Interest in the role played by free radicals in life and health has grown tremendously. Of even more interest is the role antioxidants play in counteracting these free radicals. Removing the major sources of oxidants is the first step in free radical therapy. The total of steps outlined in this issue has a greater impact on the return of a patient’s health than if the focus is only on one aspect. Covers what free radicals are, their significance in disease, how they travel through the body, their health benefits and use in treating disease, laboratory markers, and notes on practical application.
