DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
44-54. Digestive efficiency needs to be
increased and movement of material through the bowel improved. A
complete plant-derived multiple enzyme formula with a broad range
of effectiveness across the pH (acid/alkaline) scale is crucial to
improving digestion.
At a minimum, the enzyme formula should
include protease for digesting protein, amylase for carbohydrates,
lipase for fats, and lactase for milk sugars.
Even better if other enzymes are included
such as sucrase for sugars, maltase for malt sugars and cellulase
for plant fibers. Cellulase also improves cellular nutrition by
helping move nutrients in and toxins out through the cell
membranes.
High quality plant fiber such as milled
organic flax seed, and herbs like cascara sagrada that incite
peristaltic action (bowel movement) are needed. Cat's claw is
known for its ability to clean the bowel, and to reduce
inflammations of the digestive tract.
Potent strains of beneficial probiotic
bacteria such as L. Acidophilus, L. Bifidus and especially L.
Salivarius and L. Plantarum should be introduced as well.
4 pints or more of purified water should be
consumed per day. Eat well, consuming simple foods and
combinations.
55-56. Sticky anal residue and/or light
colored, floating stools, can indicate a problem in breaking down
fats. In addition to a gall bladder flush with extra virgin olive
oil and fresh lemon juice (see description near end of report), to
clear the gall bladder of cholesterol gall stones and improve fat
metabolism, taking the enzyme lipase both at and in between meals
will help fat metabolism as well.
Almost everyone has excess toxicity in the
colon. Cleansing it is the first priority of health improvement.
The best food with outstanding fiber for bowel
elimination is organic milled flax seeds. The mucilagenous
quality, with equal amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber
totaling 26%, is ideal for the intestinal lining. Flax seeds are
very nutritious with Omega 3 source fatty acid,
usually deficient in the modern diet. It
also has antioxidants and
minerals, providing benefits in other ways.
Psyllium seeds and hulls are commonly used as
bowel cleansing fiber. However, because psyllium is imported, it
may have been treated with mandated chemical fumigation or
radiation.
Wheat bran is
common and cheap, but too harsh on the intestinal lining for
routine consumption. Oat bran and rice bran provide a little
better fiber and some antioxidants.
Digestive enzymes and plenty of pure water will
help the colon function better. When needed for stimulating
elimination, cascara sagrada and senna are traditional favorites
that move the bowel well.
57. Fiber is essential to healthy intestinal
function. If you have been told that you cannot handle fiber, and
therefore to avoid salads and other raw vegetables, whole wheat
bread, etc.; consider trying milled flax seed as an adjunct to the
diet. Its gentle mucilagenous fiber is very soothing to the
intestinal lining. Flax brooms out waste and provides an amazing
array of valuable nutrients with various benefits.
Also it would be good to introduce the
friendly probiotic intestinal bacteria, especially L. Salivarius
and L. Plantarum, which help clean up waste deposits, improve
elimination, and fight unhealthy microorganisms.
Getting the digestive system to function
well is one of the most basic and important things to do in
restoring and maintaining good health.
MINERAL DEFICIENCY
58-60. You have indications of probable
significant mineral deficiency. This can arise due to inadequate
diet and over consumption of soda pop and other acid-forming foods
such as coffee, meats and wheat flour products. For starters, try
to eliminate the offending foods just mentioned.
Well-chelated minerals, including especially
calcium, magnesium and zinc, are very important. Chelation of
minerals with amino acids is best. Also be sure you are eating and
digesting high quality protein. Enzyme supplementation will help
derive more amino acids and minerals from the foods you eat.
Supplementation with fulvic acid-rich plant materials and other
superior super foods will provide needed ionic trace minerals and
many other valuable nutrients.
DENTAL PROBLEMS
61. Dental caries are usually from a mineral
deficiency, particularly calcium, and/or from the deterioration
due to bacteria working on food residues left on the teeth. An
overly acid environment in the mouth is more conducive to the
proliferation of these bacteria.
An alkalizing antioxidant dentifrice is more
effective than those containing fluoride at preventing decay. A
few drops of stabilized liquid oxygen in aloe vera juice makes a
great consumable mouthwash. A drop or two of peppermint and/or
clove oil in the mouth serves as an antiseptic also.
62. Silver fillings contain the toxic metal
mercury, which can slowly leach into the system and create a
variety of health problems. It is thought to be involved in
lowered immune resistance and chronic fatigue, and may be a factor
in Multiple Sclerosis and other debilitating conditions. Seek out
a superior dentist who has experience in very carefully replacing
silver fillings with "porcelain" composite material.
62-63. Antioxidants, particularly Vitamin C
and bioflavonoids, ionic
minerals, the highest quality of usable calcium, and frequent
dental/oral care with an alkalizing antioxidant tooth paste or
powder, can help the gums and the teeth. A few drops of stabilized
liquid oxygen in aloe vera juice makes a great consumable
mouthwash. A drop or two of peppermint and/or clove oil in the
mouth serves as an antiseptic also.
64-66. Jaw popping, irregular bite, or the
tendency to chew more on one side of the mouth can indicate
Tempero Mandibular Joint (TMJ) problems. Consult a dental expert,
especially if there is jaw pain.
URINARY SYSTEM
67-69. Horsetail, alfalfa, parsley, uva ursi,
watermelon, marshmallow root and cranberry juice all assist with
urinary functions, and can help with other problems. Drink
purified water in small quantities throughout the day, totaling
about 1/2 gallon. Avoid consuming too much liquid at once.
Horsetail is the
richest herb in the important mineral silica, which is needed by
all body cells, and is especially good for the skin, hair and
nails; and alfalfa is one of the richest herbs in minerals. (NOTE:
Avoid genetically modified alfalfa hay.)
Parsley and uva ursi are diuretic, stimulating the movement of
urine. Marshmallow root is known for soothing an inflamed bladder,
and cranberry juice helps the bladder also.
These herbs are complementary to those for
the liver, as cleansing the body puts extra stress on the urinary
organs.
Men with prostate issues may find help in
herbal formulas including saw palmetto, stinging nettles, pumpkin
seeds and ginseng, as well as from increased chelated zinc and
selenium, fulvic acid ionic minerals, and pollen extract.
Kidney stones can be dissolved by consuming
fresh-squeezed lemon juice, which can be moderately diluted for
taste with pure water. Drinking lemon water is a good preventive
practice with multiple benefits.
OTHER PROBLEMS
70. Supplementation with complete protein,
enzymes to improve digestion, and mineral-rich super foods, along
with muscle-building exercise, will gradually strengthen muscles.
Yeast overgrowth could be a factor, in which case, a yeast control
program with chelated magnesium supplementation would be the place
to start.
71. Supplemental ionic or chelated magnesium
can help with sleep. Melatonin, a natural hormone, is a great
help. Also beneficial is getting adequate protein delivered to the
brain and nerves at the right time. This is improved with enzyme
supplementation for better digestion, and high quality
protein-rich foods.
More of the Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acid,
ALA, best gotten from organic milled flax seed, will also help you
sleep better.
72. "Bad breath" is usually a reflection of
excessive intestinal toxins or dental decay. A thorough bowel
cleanse using milled flax seed, the herb cascara sagrada, and the
probiotic bacteria L. Acidophilus, L. Bifidus, L. Salivarius and
L. Plantarum, would be a good start.
Good oral hygiene is needed too, as bacteria
in the mouth may be causing the problem. Lingering infection from
a root canal can flare up in the jaw and foster other infections
and ill health. Sometimes it is better to have the tooth with a
root canal carefully extracted.
A few drops of stabilized liquid oxygen
supplement in a small amount of aloe vera juice as a consumable
mouthwash makes a great natural freshener, as does a drop or two
of peppermint and/or clove oil in the mouth.
73. Hyperactivity is often related to
consumption of sugar and white flour foods, coffee and other
caffeinated beverages, and soda pop. If these are out of the
picture and you are still hyperactive, inadequate proteins for the
nerves may be involved. Try supporting the nervous
system with improved protein delivery through supplementation with
enzymes and complete protein sources; and with the Omega 3
Essential Fatty Acid, ALA, from milled organic flax seed.
Beyond
that, you might consult an allergist to look into possible
allergies. There could be problems with artificial food additives.
FEMALE CONDITIONS
74. a) PMS symptoms are lessened with good
nutrition. There are herbs which can help alleviate PMS as well,
including dong quai, damiana, red raspberry leaf and false
unicorn. Progesterone cream with wild yam can help balance the
hormones. Excessive PMS can be related to Candida yeast problems.
(If there are other signs of possible yeast overgrowth, see the
special section near the end of this report.)
b) Good nutrition and certain herbs,
including dong quai, damiana, red raspberry leaf and false
unicorn, help reduce menopausal symptoms. Progesterone cream with
wild yam, as well as the "master hormone" DHEA (out of which
others are formed), have helped many women. Extreme tiredness or
irritability can be related to yeast problems. (If there are other
signs of possible yeast overgrowth, see the special section near
the end of this report.)
75. Vaginal yeast problems are usually the
"tip of the iceberg", indicating wider yeast problems. See the
special section on yeast overgrowth near the end of this report.
76. Breast lumps or swelling may or may not
be serious. It is wise to have a check up to see what is going on.
Avoid underarm antiperspirant deodorants with aluminum
chlorohydrate and other chemicals, which may be toxifying. There
are natural alternatives, such as baking soda, and herbal and
mineral deodorants.
77. a) If you have given birth to children,
you could be more susceptible to an overgrowth of yeast in the
body. If there are other signs of it, please read the special
section on yeast overgrowth near the end of this report.
b) If you are pregnant or nursing, you should
avoid most herbal programs, such as detoxifying. There are other
things that can be helpful besides a high quality food source
multiple vitamin/mineral supplement. Red raspberry leaves help
strengthen the uterus, both in preparation for delivery and after.
Enzymes help digestion. Super foods and fulvic acids provide
needed trace nutrients. High quality protein is valuable, but
there is no need for excessive amounts.
A pregnant and nursing woman should consider
eating milled organic flax seed. Its gentle mucilagenous fiber
eases bowel elimination without being a laxative. It will help
keep the bowel moving, as well as provide highly utilizable
complete protein and the crucial Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acid, ALA
(Alpha Linoleic Acid). This is needed for the baby's brain and
nerve development, and also helps maintain your own nervous system
to be calmer under stress and more sharp-minded.
SEXUAL PERFORMANCE
78-79. Many people could use help in the area
of sexual performance, both men and women. In addition to reading
some good literature on the subject, several herbs and nutrients are often helpful
for those of either sex: dehydrated oat grass juice (avena
sativa), yohimbe, flower pollen extract, Siberian ginseng, horny
goatweed, ginkgo biloba, damiana, sarsaparilla, saw palmetto;
adequate intake of the mineral zinc (15 mg. per day) is important
too.
Pheromones are natural chemical signals that
the body produces to attract others. Scientists are well aware of
their power in animal mating. Now it is known that they have
effects in human behavior with both romantic attraction and in
social interaction.
Pheromone production in humans is generally
less than it used to be. Further, it decreases after age 30. A
good pheromone product (applied topically) can bring improvement
in both the areas of romance, and the persuasive and motivational
professions, such as sales.
Also, panax ginseng for men and dong quai for
women, are good for reducing problems and improving performance.
The hormonal substance, androstendione, also used for
body-building, is known for sustained male performance as well.
This is available off the shelf, but it should not be overdone,
especially if there is a heart condition.
EYES
80. Ruptured blood vessels in the eyes and
visible under the skin are indications of capillary weakness from
a possible deficiency in bioflavonoids. Bioflavonoids are abundant
in fruits, especially citrus, grapes and berries. A good vitamin C
supplement should include an equal amount of bioflavonoids,
including rutin and hesperidin. OPC's from grape seeds and/or
maritime pine bark, contain excellent antioxidant flavonoids that
are known to strengthen capillaries. Antioxidant greens and other
super foods and fulvic acid rich ancient plant deposits contain an abundance of phytonutrients and minerals
that can be helpful.
81. Beta carotene, as found in carrots, most
edible algae, such as spirulina, and in yams and other red and
orange foods, may reduce oversensitivity of the eyes, as well as
improving night vision.
Better nutrition in general helps the eyes.
An eyebright herbal formula for eyewash and ingesting is good. DHA
is an Omega 3 fatty acid good for the eyes and the brain. It is in
some ocean fish such as sardines, mackeral, cod & salmon. There is
also a DHA supplement made from algae. The body can derive DHA
from the Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acid, ALA, found most highly in
milled organic flax seed from the far north in Canada.
SKIN PROBLEMS
82-84. Easy bruising and/or slow healing of
cuts and bruises could indicate a mineral deficiency, dehydration,
or possibly a deficiency in vitamin K and/or in bioflavonoids.
Improved mineral intake is important,
especially silica, zinc and sub-colloidal ionic trace minerals.
Vitamin K is found in alfalfa, leafy greens,
and algaes such as spirulina and kelp. Bioflavonoids are abundant
in fruits, especially citrus, grapes and berries. A good vitamin C
supplement should include an equal amount of bioflavonoids,
including rutin and hesperidin.
OPC's from grape seeds and/or maritime pine
bark, contain excellent antioxidant flavonoids that are known to
strengthen capillaries, reduce bruising and speed healing of
cuts.
A mineral supplement with fulvic acid from
decayed plant deposits delivers a spectrum of phytonutrients and
minerals that can be helpful. Aloe vera gel, an herbal skin cream
and various essential oils, can speed relief of irritations, cuts
and bruises when applied topically. High quality protein and good
digestion of it are important for skin repair.
Tocotrienols are super antioxidants, 100's of
times more effective than vitamins C or E. Tocotrienols are
relatives of the "tocopherols" of vitamin E. They are found most
abundantly in rice bran. A supplement providing tocotrienols is
greatly helpful in healing damaged tissue.
The enzyme amylase helps with acne and other
swelling inflammations of the skin.
Moisture is crucial for the health of the
skin. Most people are significantly dehydrated. About two quarts
of purified water should be consumed daily.
85. Dry hair, skin and nails and dry mouth
are all major signs of dehydration. Few people drink an adequate
amount of water. Coffee, tea, milk and soda pop are not
substitutes for pure water. In fact, coffee and soda pop are both
acidifying and dehydrating. An increased water intake is needed to
compensate for them. One should drink a minimum of 6 to 8 glasses
of purified water per day. Raw tap water is unacceptable due to
the level of pollutants in it. The chemicals added to city water
make it fit only for work tasks such as washing the floor, without
purifying treatment.
Showering in unfiltered chlorinated water is
very harmful to the skin and hair, as well as the lungs because of
the chorine vapors. A shower filter is so inexpensive that every
home shower should have one.
Dry hair, skin problems and brittle or
misshapen nails are also a possible indicator of Candida yeast
overgrowth. (If there are other signs of possible yeast
overgrowth, see the special section.)
Find an herbal moisturizer without toxifying
propylene glycol. Glycerin, although non-toxic, is dehydrating.
BLOOD and LIVER
82-84. Skin problems are often a reflection
of toxic blood. Blood-purifying herbs such as alfalfa, dandelion,
Oregon grape, peach bark, sarsaparilla root, yellow dock and Pau
D'arco are useful.
The liver is the body’s detoxifying agent. It
is overwhelmed in most of us with the load of toxins coming from
the colon and chemicals in the diet and environment, all of which
the liver is supposed to screen. Once it becomes saturated, it
cannot hold anymore so it has to let these toxins pass on into the
blood. Help out this tired, toxic liver with the cleansing and
support that herbs can provide. Milk thistle, dandelion root and
beet root are very beneficial.
LIFESTYLE PROBLEMS
86-88. By now you certainly know the
consequences of smoking. Desire & motivation to quit is yours to
develop. You can begin by cutting down, then gradually wean
yourself. Others have achieved success by stopping cold turkey.
Some use aids like nicotine gum or the patch. Hypnosis has helped
many. If you want to, do whatever it takes to quit.
89. Coffee is a widely popular beverage. It
does have some antioxidant benefits, but should be used
moderately. Over consumption of caffeine stresses the nerves and
the adrenal glands. It can make one anxious and irritable. Even
decaffeinated coffee still has some remaining caffeine. Although
mental energy is stimulated with caffeine, repeatedly using it
rather than getting good rest is detrimental to health.
Coffee has other compounds in it that toxify
the liver and the blood. Too much is acidifying to the body, which
can lead to ill health conditions including infections and tumors.
Further, excessive coffee is irritating to the digestive tract.
Aloe vera is helpful for that. There are herbal alternatives to
coffee that can be explored.
90-91. Alcohol is a problem for all too many
people. Consuming it destroys cells, including the brain, at the
least. Beyond that, many lives have been harmed and lost due to
alcohol. At most, restrict consumption to just a few drinks per
week.
Consuming wine does not provide as much
health benefit as the industry promotes. The wine is nowhere near
as rich in OPCs as the grape seeds.
NEVER drive after consuming enough
alcohol to affect your judgment and abilities.
WATER
92-93. One should consume a minimum of 40 to
64 ounces (2 quarts) of purified water per day. Raw tap water is
unacceptable due to the level of pollutants in it. The chemicals
added to city water make it fit only for work tasks such as
washing the floor, without purifying treatment. Home water
purification for both drinking and showering/bathing are
affordable and essential.
FOOD CHOICES
Poor Selections
94. Soda pop is a chemical cocktail with no
value beyond taste, and with plenty of harm. Drinking just 12 oz.
of soda pop does such a dehydrating number on the body that it
takes 30 glasses of pure water to compensate. Diet pop is worse,
especially if it contains aspartame, as most do. Try sparing
enjoyment of sparkling water or club soda with lemon or lime
added. The primary daily drink
should be purified water, perhaps with some fresh lemon juice
added.
95. Sweet treats can create sour problems if
overdone. Most parents and teachers know that children's behavior
worsens after sugar consumption. There have been studies on the
probable connection between sugar intake and some crimes. If one's
blood sugar metabolism gets out of balance, it could mean a lot
of unpleasantness for a long time. Self-induced diabetes is
alarmingly widespread. Try to restrict sweets to parties and
holidays. Dessert should not be part of a meal. Fresh fruits are
the real natural sweet foods to meet the taste for sweet.
96. NutraSweet (tm), also known as Aspartame
(tm), can mess up brain chemistry. Some people have had serious
headaches, mental disorders, and behavioral problems.
Raw Food
97. Raw food is the natural choice. That is
how nature provides food for us. When grown right on good soil and
eaten fresh, raw fruits and vegetables contain enzymes, minerals,
vitamins, amino acids, most everything the body needs to perform.
They are enzymatically alive. As soon as you cook something, the
enzymes are destroyed, mineral and amino acid bonds broken, and
you have a lifeless corpse for food. There are no substitutes for
the benefits of regular consumption of an abundance of fresh raw fruits
and vegetables.
Milk & Dairy Products
98-99. Despite what the milk producers like
us to think, cow's milk is not very good for humans. It's natural
purpose is for supporting the growth a young animal that may
eventually weigh close to a ton! Most humans do not digest milk
and its products well.
Many are allergic to dairy products. Some
can't handle the casein protein. Others are intolerant to lactose
(milk sugar), as they are unable to digest it. Taking lactase
enzyme helps with lactose, and protease and lipase help digest the
protein and fat in dairy items.
Milk is a highly produced food today. From
the antibiotics, steroids and genetically modified, glyphosate-laden
feed given to the livestock, to pasteurizing (cooking to kill
bacteria which also destroys enzymes) and homogenizing (dispersing
the fat into tiny indigestible globules), the milk sold in stores
is little nutritious, and potentially harmful.
Autopsies performed on young men killed in
the Korean War showed detectable arterial plaque in over 60% of
those 18 to 22 years old. Similar studies done during the Viet Nam
War showed the percentage had increased to over 90%. The major
contributing factors are thought to be mass consumption of
chlorinated tap water and homogenized milk.
Although cheese, yogurt and other dairy items
may not be homogenized, they do add to the common problem of mucus
accumulation in the body. Most people eat an over amount of
acid-forming, mucus inducing foods. This results in a physical
condition which is unhealthy and more susceptible to illness, from
colds and infections, to degenerative diseases.
If using dairy, organic whole milk products
from free-range pasture-fed cattle are the best choice.
Meat & Protein
100-101. The heavy use of meat in the common
diet stems from faulty research at the beginning of the 20th
Century. Researchers determined the needs of dogs of various sizes
for animal protein, and extrapolated the findings as a guideline
for humans. But dogs are quite different in their needs.
Too much
cooked animal protein is very harmful to human health in the long
run. It is hard to digest, and contributes to "caramelization"
(gummy residues that impair tissues) in the body.
As meat waits to be digested, it putrefies in
the body, creating toxins that are harmful in multiple ways. Some
are free radicals which damage tissue, leading to circulatory
disease and possibly cancer.
Dead meat is also a breeding ground
for infectious microorganisms. There may also be parasites in the
meat. Further, meats and dairy products are acid-forming.
Multiplying invaders and the acid conditions hospitable to them,
can bring on a variety of illnesses.
Livestock today is often fed antibiotics,
growth hormones, genetically modified corn or soy as part of the
rapid profit methods of feed lot management. The animals are often
more stressed from living in close quarters. Glyphosate herbicide
is used on crops for weed control and harvesting, leaving toxic
residues in the feed.
Despite the continuing high level of protein
consumption in our population, many suffer from protein deficiency
because they are not adequately digesting the cooked animal
tissue, eggs and/or dairy products. Multiple enzymes, including
protease for protein, should be taken when eating any cooked
proteins.
Eggs are a good protein source, especially if
not overcooked. Soft boiling or steaming just enough to whiten the
clear part of the egg is best. Avoid "factory farm" eggs from
stressed, less healthy chickens, which have likely been fed GMOs,
feed contaminated with glyphosate or other chemicals, antibiotics
and other drugs. Organic eggs from well-fed, free-range hens are
greatly superior.
All foods have some amount of protein in them
-- whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds are plant sources of more
easily digestible, high quality protein without the problems of
cooked animal-source proteins. Flax seeds, amaranth, buckwheat and
quinoa are better choices than the grains, wheat, barley, rye,
oats, rice, corn, etc.
Many are realizing they do better without
gluten in their diet. Take plant-source enzymes (which work
throughout the varying pH range found in the digestive tract) when
eating any cooked food, to ensure good digestion.
102. The lowest grade and most toxic meats
are weiners, sausages and lunch meats. The odds and ends of the
slaughterhouse are thrown into these. Normally the wrapping on
sausage is the intestine of an animal. Unless organic, these meat
products should be avoided entirely.
Flour Products
103-104. White flour products are poor
quality food. The four major commercial interests in producing a
food product are: taste, appearance, shelf-life and cost. Notice
that the long-term health of the consumer is not one of their
concerns. In the case of bread, they want you to be happy with the
freshness, to be able to identify the packaging, and they want it
to be profitable for them.
White flour has been stripped of its
nutritive value in milling out the germ and bran from the grain.
Synthetic vitamins of low quality (which are not good for you)
have been added back to white flour for many years, so they call
it "enriched". White flour consumption can bring on diabetes just
as sugar can.
Also, white flour products are very gooey.
White flour is used as paste by school children, and can be used
to make objects that harden into a cement-like state. It can lead
to sticky hardened residues in the colon tract.
Even most of the
brown breads in the supermarket are not healthful. Often they are
made of a mixture of white flour and whole wheat. The
producer's concern about shelf-life often leads them to chlorinate
or bromate the flour to prevent spoiling. Additional toxins may
include dough conditioners (for soft fluffy texture), coloring
agents and preservatives.
High-fiber, whole grain bread is much better.
The best is fresh-milled and baked at home with organic non-wheat
flour and other wholesome ingredients. Gluten, a sticky compound in
most grains, is an allergy problem for many people.
Learn to enjoy other seed foods such as
quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat and flax. Among the grains, millet,
barley, spelt and brown rice are the better choices. Whole seeds
and grains have valuable natural proteins, other nutrients and
fiber that are missing from white flour products and white rice.
Soybeans
105. Many have turned to soybean products,
especially soy "milk", as alternatives to meats and
dairy products. Research suggests that there also may be problems
with over consumption of soy. Soybeans contain phytoestrogens that
may contribute over time to hormonal disturbances and even cancer.
Also, most of the world's supply of soybeans
is now from genetically-altered crops contaminated with glyphosate
herbicide, which are causing health problems.
Rice "milk" is a
better choice as an alternative to dairy milk. A variety of nuts,
seeds and whole grains and other legumes (beans) than soybeans
will provide good protein.
Food Combining & Digestion
106. The more complex a meal one eats, the
greater the difficulty in digesting it, and the more likely that
there will be spoilage of undigested residues, contributing to
toxicity.
Try to eat simple meals with just one major meal of
concentrated protein per day. Heavy carbohydrates should be at a
separate meal. Either of these can be eaten with vegetables. Fruits should be eaten separately from other foods.
107. Drinking anything but a few sips of
water with a meal interferes with the digestive juices and breeds
trouble. Coffee, tea, milk and soda pop, each significantly
detracts from digestion.
Other Poor Food Products
108. Commercial table salt has added
chemicals that are unhealthy. Too much salt, even "seasalt" creates a
problem. Excessive consumption of salt OR potassium-based salt
substitutes, can throw off the balance of sodium and potassium
which regulates transmission of fluids through the membranes of
cells. Himalayan crystal salt from Asia or Celtic salt from
England have a wide mineral profile and health benefits if used
moderately.
109. Junk food snacks are not worth the
money, or the drag they put on good health. There are lots of
low-cost, good-tasting healthy snacks.
Meals
110. Breakfast is the most important meal.
Your body has just gone through many hours of fasting, cleansing
and repair, and is ready for it's nutritional stores to be
replenished for the day. An abundant variety of nutrients and
super foods in an easily digested matrix should be included.
Recommendation: Make a blender drink
with some fresh apple or other fruits, vitamins, minerals
(including sub-colloidal ionic trace minerals), enzymes, greens
and other super foods, such as algae and grasses, plus other
special nutritious ingredients like lecithin or Coenzyme Q10. This
makes a tremendously uplifting start to the day. On the other
hand, coffee and a sweet pastry gives false energy and leads to
trouble.
For breakfast, the seeds quinoa, buckwheat,
amaranth, flax seeds are much better than the common cereal grains
wheat, oats, rice and corn. Organic free-range eggs are also good
for breakfast.
111. The active person should have sustenance
at regular intervals through the day. The three meal format is a
convention, but works well if appropriate foods and amounts are
consumed. Some people do better having four to six small meals or
good quality snacks, such as apples, raisins, nuts or raw
sunflower seeds. The more small and simple the meal, the easier it
is to digest. Skipping meals can lead to metabolic imbalances such
as blood sugar problems. Snacks can be small meals or just a
little treat. The important thing is to avoid nutrient-empty junk
foods and sweets as much as possible, and to not let snacking
become a food disorder.
112. Eating late in the evening is a very
poor health habit. The demand on the digestive system to perform
when it should be going into its long rest period means that it
doesn't get the rest it needs. Eventually digestion will work less
and less effectively, leading to problems. A fresh fruit snack in
mid-evening is light and quickly digested. Anything heavier will
delay the system's needed rest.
Vegetarian Alternative
113. Many who become vegetarian are concerned
about obtaining enough protein and vitamin B-12.
"Lacto-vegetarians" (who consume dairy products) and "ovo-vegetarians"
(who consume eggs) rely on non-flesh animal-source foods to
provide these needed nutrients.
However, most humans do not digest
milk and its products well. Many are allergic to dairy products.
Dairy products are acid-forming. Acid conditions can foster a
variety of illnesses. Also, cheese, yogurt and other dairy items
may add to the common problem of mucus accumulation in the body.
Most people eat an over amount of
acid-forming, mucus-inducing foods. This results in a physical
condition which is unhealthy and more susceptible to illness, from
colds and infections, to degenerative diseases.
Eggs are a good protein source, especially if
not overcooked. Soft boiling or steaming just enough to whiten
the clear part of the egg is best. Despite the continuing high
level of protein consumption in our population, many suffer from
protein deficiency because they are not adequately digesting the
cooked animal tissues, eggs and/or dairy products.
Some vegetarians choose to eat only from
plant sources. All foods have some amount of protein in them.
Nuts, seeds, whole grains and beans are plant sources of more
easily digestible, high quality protein without the problems of
cooked animal-source proteins.
It is not necessary to be concerned about
complementary protein combinations to achieve all the essential
amino acids in each meal. As long as a variety of protein foods is
consumed regularly, with good digestion you will get enough of the
essentials. Take enzymes when eating eggs, dairy-products, or any
cooked food, to ensure maximum digestion.
Microwave Caution
114. There is substantial evidence that
micro-waved food is more highly toxic to human tissues than food
cooked by normal heating. The food is damaged. Further, the
microwave works by exciting water molecules in the food, which heat
up by friction. This process continues for some while after the
food is removed from the microwave, and the heating can extend right into your
stomach tissues.
In an unpublished European study, the blood
profile after eating micro-waved food was the same as for a person
with an advanced stage of cancer. At the least, let food cool
after it comes out of the microwave. Even better, you can turn
your microwave oven into a bread box! Toaster ovens and convection
ovens are better alternatives.
OTHER HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Electro-Magnetic Fields
115. Regular long term exposure to
electro-magnetic fields (EMF) can be very harmful. Those whose
homes are very near high power lines and family members who sleep
near the point of attachment of utility lines to the house have
had more than the usual amount of health problems.
Cell phones, wi-fi, smart meters and the new 5G,
are progressively adding to
the health and brain undermining frequencies that bombard us.
Protection is a must.
Exercise
116. Exercise is a crucial aspect of staying
healthy and fit. Your organs need it to be strong, and muscles
need it to stay in tone and hold organs in place. Aerobic exercise
should be engaged at least three times per week for 20 minutes or
more. This is exercise which is vigorous enough to move the heart
rate into the aerobic zone according to this formula: (220 - your
age) X 75% to 80%. Maintain this level for the 20+ minutes with a
few minutes of warm-up and a few minutes of slowing cool-down so
blood is distributed evenly.
Additionally, weight-bearing, stretching and
isometric exercises are needed to strengthen and tone muscles.
Perhaps the best exercise for multiple benefits is rebounding on a
miniature trampoline. For many years, astronauts and Olympic and
professional athletes have used this powerful way to combine
aerobic and muscle and bone building exercise.
Household Products
Most cleaning products and personal care
products contain toxifying ingredients. Sodium lauryl sulfate and
sodium laureth sulfate, and propylene glycol are found in
shampoos, conditioners, hand and body cleansers. These or worse
chemicals are in household cleaners. Alternative toxin-free
personal care and cleaning products are available.
Holistic Physician
117-118. The information in this report is
not a substitute for consulting a qualified health care
practitioner. The reader is advised to make use of this
information judiciously on their own responsibility.
It would be prudent to consult with your
health care practitioner before altering any health or medical
protocol. This is especially true if you are under regular care
and/or taking medication.
Many doctors are unfamiliar with or critical of
natural health concepts. You may want to find a physician who is
at least open to good nutrition and exercise as an important part
of restoring health. Gradually, more doctors are adopting a
holistic approach that includes good diet, nutrients, herbs and
exercise.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
Vitamins
119,123. Despite what many believe, there is
a difference between natural and synthetic vitamins. Natural ones
are as found in foods, within the context of a variety of
complementary nutrients which are instrumental in activating the
full functions and benefits of the vitamin.
A synthetic vitamin is a lab-created copy of
the chemical structure of the vitamin. Some so-called "natural"
vitamins are actually separated out from a natural source by a lab
process that isolates the vitamin from its natural community of
synergistic factors. The synthetic or isolated vitamins cannot
perform all the functions that vitamins in their natural context
can do, nor do they have the vitality, the life force, of the
truly natural ones.
In a study by Royal Lee, a pioneer of the
nutritional supplement field back in the 1930's and 40's, piglets
fed synthetic B-vitamins (the kind that have been added to white
flour since the late 1930's) in addition to a regular diet of
grain, suffered grave deficiency-related side effects as compared
to those who instead had fresh greens with their grains.
The best that can be done with a
"multivitamin" that is able to have a verified RDA profile on its
label is to set the vitamins in a substantial base of super foods
to provide as many of the important natural co-factors as
possible.
Similarly, for the body to properly utilize
minerals they must be in "chelated" or ionic sub-colloidal
form. A mineral particle must be small enough in size to enter a
cell or attached to a food molecule that the cell can recognize as
food.
Chelated means bonded. A mineral in a plant is naturally bonded
within compounds in the plant's cells. A laboratory chelated
mineral is joined with a food molecule, ideally an amino acid, so
it is identified and treated by the body as if it were from a food
source.
Inorganic minerals as found in the earth are
not chelated nor small enough in particle size for the body to
use, although a huge amount of them are sold as nutritional
supplements.
In recent years there has been much promotion
of "colloidal" minerals. Colloids are small mineral particles, but
still not small enough to cross cell membranes. "Sub-colloidal"
ionic minerals (with a charge on them) or minerals chelated within
a food molecule, are what we need for absorption and utilization.
Look for a truly natural source or "food
source" multiple vitamin supplement with chelated major minerals,
ionic trace minerals, and a wealth of super foods.
Antioxidants
120. It is wise to have regular daily
supplementation with Vitamin C that has an equal amount of
bioflavonoids from fruit sources, such as rutin and hesperidin.
500 mg. of C plus 500 mg of bioflavonoids is fine, with more to be
taken throughout the day when stressed or when cold or flu
symptoms arise.
121. The commercial health product trade
focuses on the d-alpha tocopherol fraction of the Vitamin E
complex in stating the International Units (eg. 400 IU). It is
best to have the whole E-complex that includes the gamma and beta
tocopherols.
Wheat germ and its oil are the best sources of
natural Vitamin E complex, but they must be fresh and free of
rancidity. Never accept dl-alpha tocopheral. The "dl" indicates a
synthetic form that is not compatible with the body.
122. Antioxidants are absolutely essential
supplements in today's stressful and polluted world. Free radicals
are damaging molecules missing an electron, which are in toxins
and pollutants, and created by stress. The bombardment of these
over time leads to damage of the heart, arteries and other
tissues. Both circulatory diseases and cancer can result.
Antioxidants stem free radicals by giving
them an electron. Some antioxidants also help repair damaged
tissue with other aspects of their makeup and functions.
Besides
Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Beta Carotene, antioxidants include: ellagic acid from red raspberries, which has proven very helpful
with a variety of cancers; lignans from flax seeds, which have
also been found to help with multiple cancers; OPC's (oligo
proanthocyanidins) from grape seeds and maritime pine, which are
at least 20 times more effective that C and E; tocotrienols, from
rice bran, which are hundreds of times more effective than C and E,
and negative ion hydrogen, which is thousands of times more
effective than C or E.
Minerals
124. For the body to properly utilize
minerals they must be in "chelated" or ionic sub-colloidal form.
The forms of calcium commonly used in supplements are calcium
carbonate, dolomite, di-calcium phosphate and tri-calcium
phosphate.
Calcium carbonate is basically chalk, like that used on
a blackboard. It is ground rock. "Dolomite" is just ground
limestone, and is made up of calcium carbonate and magnesium
carbonate. Di- and tri-calcium phosphate are inorganic calcium
compounds, also from rock. None of these are absorbed or
assimilated well at all, and may contribute to deposits in the
body.
The best lab-chelated forms of calcium are
calcium aspartate (bonded with an amino acid), calcium citrate (as
found in citrus fruits) and calcium lactate (the type found in
milk). Calcium gluconate is not as good as the others, but is
better than the rock forms. The naturally-chelated calciums found
in vegetation, such as broccoli, carrots, and sesame seeds; or in
super food supplements such as green cereal grasses, algae, pollen
and fulvic-acid rich ancient plant deposits, are the very best
sources.
125. The forms of magnesium commonly used in
supplements are magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate; both are
poorly absorbed.
Green vegetables are good foods for magnesium.
Green super foods, namely cereal grasses and algae, are the best
supplemental sources of magnesium. The acceptable lab-chelated
form of magnesium is bonded with an amino acid, such as aspartic
acid (magnesium aspartate).
126. Ionic trace minerals are a very valuable
addition to your daily supplement intake. The food supply is
grossly deficient in minerals, especially the trace minerals which
were leached out of most agricultural soils years ago without
being replaced.
Inorganic minerals as found in the earth are
not normally chelated nor small enough in particle size for the body to
use.
In recent years there has been much promotion of "colloidal"
minerals. Colloids are small mineral particles, but still not
small enough to cross cell membranes. "Sub-colloidal" ionic
minerals (with a charge on them), or minerals chelated with a food
molecule, are what we need.
Super foods like cereal grasses,
algae, kelp, pollen, and fulvic-acid rich ancient plant material,
are the best sources of ionic trace minerals.
Super Foods
127. Super foods are organically-grown and
wild plant foods that are concentrated in nutrients, including "phytonutrients",
protective plant compounds.
In supplemental form, if these are properly dehydrated to
preserve their enzymes and pigments (eg. chlorophyll and
carotenes), they provide essential factors missing from the diet
that can significantly improve health and wellness.
Examples include: green cereal grass juices,
such as wheat grass juice and barley grass juice, fresh sprouts,
including alfalfa sprouts and bean sprouts, edible algae like
spirulina, dunaliella and kelp, milled flax seed, wheat germ (the
most nutritious part of the wheat grain), dehydrated vegetable and
fruit juices, flower pollen extract, and fulvic acid and mineral
rich ancient plant materials.
Herbs
128. Herbs are edible plants that contain
unique compounds which provide special benefits to the body. They
can help to cleanse or move an organ or system toward a healthier
state. Most herbs should be used for a specific purpose
temporarily, but some, such as kelp and dandelion, are in the realm
of super foods that can be consumed regularly.
Enzymes
129. If you eat cooked foods, your body
really needs supplemental enzymes to assist in digestion. Most
health problems begin in the digestive tract from the spoilage of
poorly digested food materials and the resulting accumulation of
toxic waste deposits. The toxins from spoiled protein in
particular can have serious consequences.
Maximizing the digestion
of foods reduces spoiling and delivers more needed nutrition to
the cells. This is a giant step in health improvement.
It is very important to take a multiple
enzyme supplement at each meal containing any cooked food. Cooking
destroys any enzymes that may have been in the food that could
help its own digestion. Proper digestion of protein at the right
time is crucial in particular.
There are specific amino acids
that need to be extracted from foods in the stomach phase of
digestion to be used in forming neurotransmitters for brain and
nerve function. Taking enzymes helps this to happen as it should.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
130. One of the greatest nutritional
deficiencies in modern society is in Omega 3 fatty acids. The
"essential" one is Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA). The body can make
the other Omega 3 fatty acids from ALA. The normal good diet
provides an abundance of Omega 6 fatty acids, but little Omega 3.
Omega 3 deficiency causes one to feel stress
more acutely, and to be less clear of mind and memory.
Certain species of fish -- salmon, cod,
mackeral, herring and sardines, provide the secondary Omega 3
fats, EPA and DHA. However, most fish today are high in toxic
pollutants.
The best source for ALA, the primary Omega 3
fatty acid, is milled organic flax seed from the far north in
Saskatchewan, Canada. The extremely cold weather there produces
flax with the highest level of Omega 3 (ALA) oil, and that area is
one of few that is free of the toxic metal cadmium in the soil.
This is important as flax draws up minerals well -- a benefit when
they are nutritional, but we do not want cadmium. Virtually all
U.S. flax is too high in cadmium.
SPECIAL CONCERNS
Cancer
The incidence of
cancer has grown dramatically in recent years. The greater amount
of chemicals and electromagnetic radiation in our environment are
factors, as well as the generally toxifiying and acidifying nature
of the common diet.
Extra oxygen makes it difficult for cancer to
exist. Taking enzymes with meals insures more complete digestion
and a reduction in the formation of toxins.
Enzymes taken apart
from food can help to fight cancer, particularly protease (for
digesting protein) when there is a tumor involved. Also Cellulase
improves the body's processes and help move nutrients and wastes
across membranes, enhancing action of other enzymes.
Cat's claw,
chaparral larrea and pau d'arco are appreciated for their
assistance for the immune system, with a history of use for
tumors.
Noni, a Polynesian fruit, has been used beneficially by
natives of Tahiti and other south Pacific islands in a variety of
cancer situations over the centuries.
DHEA, a master hormone that
diminishes with age, also boosts the immune system and the
cancer-fighting resources of the body.
Cleanse the liver
first; start with a "Gall Bladder Flush" (see the description near
the end of this report). Then herbs like milk thistle, beets
dandelion, yellow dock, burdock and Pau D'Arco. Burdock can be
taken for several weeks. Proceed slowly if the liver is saturated
with toxins. The liver helps clean the blood, so as it improves,
so will the blood.
The urinary system
can be stressed in the cleansing process. Horsetail, parsley and
uva ursi are good for urinary support.
Other suggestions:
Avoid animal proteins, especially pork, chicken & beef, cheese and
eggs; tobacco, coffee, alcohol; foods with sugar, eg. sweets &
fruits; peanuts; mushrooms; refined and processed foods; and any
food that has been micro-waved in preparation. Drink only purified
water (no chlorine). Avoid electro-magnetic fields, fumes and
stress.
Consume fresh
vegetables and vegetable juices, especially beets, broccoli,
cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chard, collard greens,
kale, parsley, spinach, etc. Eat organically grown foods if
possible. ALSO: green super foods, (i.e. algae & cereal grasses),
natural Beta-Carotene from algae, chlorophyll, flower pollen
extract, foods rich in Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids (eg. flax seed),
mangoes, Pau D’Arco (Taheebo) Tea, "Essiac" Tea (Burdock root,
Sheep Sorrel, Turkey Rhubarb root, Slippery Elm bark), Red Clover,
Suma, Cat's Claw, Shark Cartilage for tumors, Super Oxide
Dismutase, Co-enzyme Q10; and full-spectrum, food-source
nutritional supplementation including cobalt, selenium & other
trace minerals, extra Vitamin C & bioflavonoids.
Oxygen therapies: (CAUTION--TOO MUCH COULD HARM) hydrogen
peroxide, ozone, high molecular oxygen air purifier, chlorine
dioxide/ sodium chlorite (liquid
stabilized oxygen - safest).
