| How are we doing? |
| |
-
1 out of 5 Americans have Irritable Bowel
-
80M Americans have insulin resistant diabetes
-
400K – 1M Americans have Crohn’s Disease
-
$25B in cancer research in last 25 years, cancer rates increase every year
-
NORMAL Cholesterol level in 1972 was 320; today it is under 200. WHY?
-
Autism rates in 1970 was 1:2000; 2005 was 1:150
-
1970 - $6B on fast food, but in 2000 - $110B
-
Pediatrics Sept. 1997- 1% of children in US get RDA levels of all nutrients
-
Second National Health and Nutritional Survey- 25,000 people:
- 17% did not eat vegetables
- 41% consumed fruit or fruit juices
- 10% met USDA
|
| 7 NUTRITION SECRETS |
| 1. Drink Pure Water |
| |
- Composes 80% of our body
- 8-10 glasses per day
- Purified water- remove fluoride, chlorine, & other toxins
- Distilled or Reverse osmosis is best
|
|

Need for Nutritional Supplements
The nutritional approach to healthcare addresses root causes rather than symptoms. |
| |
- Agricultural pollution is one of the worst forms of pollution affecting the food that we eat and water we drink.
- Too many nutrients are lost through modern food processing: Chemical farming techniques, preservatives, refining, overcooking and microwave cooking
- Disproportionate levels of saturated fats and sugar are present in much of today’s foods.
|
2. Vitamins/Minerals
The nutritional approach to healthcare addresses root causes
rather than symptoms. |
|
| |
- “Our foods are not worth eating” due to soil depletion. - 1936 US Senate document
- “Insufficient vitamin intake is apparently the cause of chronic disease.” - Journal of American Medical Association, 2002
- “Every major disease is not only preventable but has a an associated mineral or vitamin deficiency” Journal of American Medical Association
|
| 3. Antioxidants |
| |
- Inflammation and infection cause free radical damage.
- Free radical damage is the strongest measure of aging and degeneration-OVERALL HEALTH.
- 6,000 + antioxidants found in foods
- Alpha lipoic acid; glutathione; Vitamins A,C,E; Selenium
|
|
| 4. Probiotics- “good” bacteria |
| |
- NORMAL, beneficial bacteria that cover intestinal wall aiding in digestion
- Increase immune function
- Imbalance with harmful bacteria cause disease
- 50-70 % of antibiotics are sold to raise animals
- Sugar and antibiotic use disrupt this balance
|
| 5. Digestive Enzymes |
| |
- Aid in initial stages of digestion, break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
- Total Enzymes (Amylase, Protease, Lipase, Invertase, Malt Diastase, Lastase, Cellulase)
- Decrease body’s acid levels
- Saliva pH 6.0 – 7.0
- Drink water with lemon or apple cider vinegar
- Anticancer properties
|
| 6. Omega-3 Fatty Acids |
| |
- Found in fish and some plants
- Forms protective wall of cells
- Essential for function of every cell- especially the developing brain
- Used in clinical trials with: Depression, Autism, bipolar disorders, ADD, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chron’s, IBS, Schizophrenia, Lupus, Diabetes, insomnia, & certain cancers
- Fish eaters had 60% decrease in dementia- High meat diets have 300% increase.
|
|
Ratios of Omega-6 : Omega-3 Ideal is 1:1 |
| |
- Olive Oil
- Canola 2:1
- Soy 14:1
- Corn 83:1
- Cottonseed 83:1
- Safflower 255:1
- Average American ratio is 20:1
- Bipolar Disorder ration is 50:1
- Schizophrenia ratio is 70:1
- Grape Seed Oil
|
|
Omega-3 Fatty Acids-cholesterols |
| |
- 20:1 means, 20X’s more inflammatory oils
- Omega 6 cause inflammation in the arteries. Inflammation produces free radicals. FR bind to cholesterols and destroy (not cholesterols fault)
- “No correlation between lowered LDL and heart disease” “No decrease in mortality.” (New England Journal of Medicine, 2002)
|
|
Cholesterol Drugs |
| |
Lipitor™, Mevacor™, Pravachol™ and Zocor:
Depletion of the body’s essential energy molecule coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which can lead to congestive heart failure, extreme muscle weakness, neurological disorders and even death.
And all statin drugs have been associated with causing or promoting cancer in experimental animals.
This is especially important since millions of Americans have been advised to take these drugs for the rest of their lives. |
|
Safe Alternatives |
|
~ Policosanols- Formed from sugar cane, better results than statin drugs
~ Green tea, Grape seed extract, quecertin have shown to prevent cholesterol from oxidizing (damaged).
~ Omega 3 lowers LDL cholesterol, and also have a favorable effect on reducing triglycerides
~ Total lipitropic, polycosanol, etc.( a blend )
~ Homocysteine Redux - Homocysteine is slowly reaching the ranks with cholesterol as a household word associated with risk for heart disease. Faulty pathways are suspect, and Homocysteine Redux was formulated to totally support every aspect of the biochemical reactions in the pathway.
The American Heart Association advises adequate intakes of B-6, B- 12, and folic acid for individuals with a history of elevated homocysteine levels and heart disease.

| 7. Excitotoxins |
| |
- Aspartame & MSG
- Overstimulate brain
- Enhance flavor of foods
- Stimulate insulin release-
- Triggers neurological disorders, migraines, dizziness, MS symptoms, fibromyalgia, seizures, accelerate tumor growths, & lymphoid cancers
- Should NEVER be consumed
