by
William G. Drew,
Ph.D.
By
training I am a Neuropsychopharmacologist.
People with my training typically teach medical students
and doctors while they are in allopathic medical schools or
while they are going through their internships or residency.
I was no different in this background.
The
teaching of numerous courses in pharmacology, neuropharmacology
and neuropsychology to hundreds of medical students and dozens
of graduate students over nearly a fifteen year period was
not without consequences. My research work resulted in approximately
50 published studies in well respected, peer-reviewed medical
journals and was meritoriously suffient to win $4.6 million
in federal research grants.
However,
growing dissatisfaction with the allopathic practice of medicine
and the negative influence their philosophy and affiliations
exert on basic medical research prompted an early retirement.
Then began years of intensive self-reflection and work
to de-bias my scientific and medical underpinnings.
Concurrently, I was suffering from coronary artery
disease and lived through 3 heart attacks, six angioplasties
and a triple bypass operation. Ten months later the bypass shunts had closed
and I nearly lost my life, when, in the first week of May
1995, my heart stopped 5 times.
I realized that to continue to rely on conventional
medicine would have worrisome consequences.
Desperately I looked for alternatives just to stay
alive. I found them
and got much more than I ever believed possible.
Thankfully,
to look at me now you would never know just how sick I had
been. Without some reference point, one fails to
appreciate change. Accordingly,
it is hard to see just how fatally flawed allopathic medicine
really is. Tragically, these analogies reveal the true
extent of our health ignorance, a blindness that has not only
been extended, but exploited fully by a drug industry that
should be held accountable for the lethal consequences of
their acts.
Pharmaceutical
misrepresentations have done great harm in terms of human
consequences. Together with the strategic alliances these
corporate powerhouses have forged with the cereal industry,
the dead food industry, the chemical lobbies, and the on-going
complicity of the medical profession, the public is in grave
danger of a total health collapse. Not only is allopathic medicine fatally flawed,
support industries operate with hidden agendas and now control
medical and nutritional advertising, promotions, research
grants, and regulatory agencies.
There can be no restoration of health, promotion of
basic research or effective alleviation of diseases when the
parties involved have vested interests in maintaining sub-optimal
public health and "captured" control of regulatory
agencies.
Along
with thousands of other health professionals I now feel that
many aspects of the practice of medicine are immoral, unethical,
impractical, financially devastating and must be stopped.
The immorality comes from the inescapable fact that
the medical establishment not only holds sick people hostage
but makes a business, even a monopoly out of illness and suffering.
This is immoral. I
would not necessarily hold this view had I not been witness
to repeated medical establishment cover ups and deliberate
attempts to discredit revolutionary findings and cures that
would end human suffering on a massive scale.
These were acts done by those with vested interests
in keeping people sick. It
is immoral to deprive people of access to information, new
or old, that can cure diseases, remove the underlying causes
of sickness or that can restore health.
It
is imperative that all people take back the power to restore
their own physical and financial health.
As Dr. Clark has stated, "The human species can
no longer afford to make a business out of illness...The concept
of health as a narrow professional concern is obsolete."
So it is with this understanding and from this background
that Health Restoration Consultants came into being.
By "Empowering
Through Knowledge" we now have new ways of looking
at and ridding ourselves of diabetes and related pancreatic
disorders.

DIABETES
The origins of many
chronic health problems including Type I and II diabetes can
be found in disturbed or compromised digestive function.
Toxins, altered permeability and parasites are generally
to blame for virtually all types of
gastrointestinal dysfunction.
But the problem doesn't simply remain a gastrointestinal
problem. Toxins, intestinal
permeability defects and parasites can lead to profound health
consequences of which Type I diabetes is an example. The symptoms may occur singly (i.e. independently)
or in clusters (i.e. groups of conditions) producing cumulative
damage which leads to a cascade of chronic illness.
Foreign chemicals (i.e.
xenobiotics) can produce toxic damage affecting virtually
all organs and systems in the body.
Some of the more common results of xenobiotic toxicity
include weakness, headache, neurologic disturbances, multiple chemical sensitivities,
immune dysfunction, liver
and pancreatic disorders.
The gastrointestinal tract is the most common route
of exposure to these toxins and, as a result, the integrity
of the mucosal barrier is a key factor in limiting absorption
and recovery.
Increased intestinal
permeability or leaky gut syndrome, results not only in increased
absorption of xenobiotics, but also in the increased absorption
of endogenously produced toxins (endotoxins), antigens, immune
complexes and intact microorganisms and macroorganisms normally
confined to the intestinal lumen. It is by this mechanism that chronic permeability
defects have been shown to contribute to the development of
certain autoimmune diseases, liver dysfunction, septicemia
and other systemic disorders including parasite infections.
Parasitic infections,
yeast infections (candidiasis) and other imbalances in intestinal
microflora (dysbiosis) can give rise to similar local and
systemic problems. Chronic
insults to the gut wall produce abdominal pain, bloating,
diarrhea, and can lead to the development of malabsorption,
inflammatory bowel disorders and ultimately to leaky gut syndrome.
Endotoxins and antigens produced by intestinal pathogens
are then absorbed systemically producing allergic responses,
autoimmune illness, liver damage and other toxic reactions.
There is evidence that in Type I diabetes the body's
antibodies attack the islet cells because they now consider
them "foreign."
But it could be that the antibodies are being produced
to parasite wastes and toxins in the islet cell areas of the
pancreas. .
Under normal conditions,
intestinal endotoxins and xenobiotics absorbed from the gut
are principally detoxified by the liver.
Liver detoxification pathways transform toxic molecules
into less toxic metabolites which can then be excreted.
The liver's capacity to handle detox functions can
be impaired due to excessive exposure to toxins as well as
deficiencies in key nutrients. Signs and symptoms of toxicity often occur
as a result of compromised liver function.
Gut-associated chronic
illness requires several approaches.
Three broad objectives include: reducing exposure to
xenobiotics, normalizing gastrointestinal function, and supporting
liver detoxification. Reducing
the exposure to xenobiotics decreases the body's burden of
toxins. Normalizing gastrointestinal function helps improve digestion, reduce
intestinal endotoxins, eliminate parasites and maintain gut
wall integrity. Supporting
liver detoxification assists the body in transforming and
eliminating xenobiotics and endotoxins.
Leaky gut syndrome
(LGS) is the problem in inflammatory
bowel diseases such as ulcerative
colitis, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome. LGS is involved in virtually all food allergies and certain auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis,
lupus erythematosus and atopic
and eczematous dermatitis, vasculitis, intestinal toxemia
(endotoxemia) microbial translocation, dysbiosis, joint pain
and inflammation, fatigue, malabsorption and other diseases including
chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre
syndrome, herpes and others. Obviously, correcting LGS dysfunctions is critical to the success
of any program designed to conquer chronic fatigue, arthritis,
HIV, lupus or any of the LGS disorders.
But it is a little
more complicated than that.
Chronic fatigue nicely illustrates the fact that
simply killing a virus (Epstein-Barr) will not correct the
problem. The virus can be killed with colloidal silver
among other treatments. But unless the underlying problem is corrected,
the chronic fatigue sufferer will re-contract the disease
almost immediately. Similarly,
with Type I diabetes, unless the parasitic infection of the
pancreas is eradicated , the person will never be cured.
Type I Diabetes is
one of the environmental diseases that is related to chronic
parasite infestations, bacterial imbalances in the gut, poor
metabolism (related to poor absorption of nutrients) lower
atmospheric oxygen levels, and solvent pollution (wood alcohol
and other xenobiotics) among other things.
Wood alcohol (methanol)
pollution occurs in many of the soft drinks (e.g. Pepsi's,
Cokes) we drink, in certain food stuffs we eat and in some
cosmetic and health care products.
At least until you are healed you MUST STOP consuming
all products contaminated with wood alcohol and other alcohols
such as isopropyl and propyl.
THIS MEANS NO MORE SOFT DRINKS!!!!!
What are some of these
products? Methanol
or wood alcohol is found in hundreds of foods.
It is in processed foods including bottled water, all
artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame and Saccharin, soda
pops, baby formulas, powdered drinks of all kinds including
most of the health food varieties. How did it get there? Federal sterilization regulations require certain
procedures be followed by food manufacturers. Presumably, the methanol got there as a result of sterilization
techniques which do not require that the lines be dried out
after alcohol washing and sterilization.
Even though the amount of wood alcohol contaminating
the food product is small, the tiny amounts can be quite effective
in stimulating the reproduction of parasites.
Maybe the alcohol is acting like a hormone for worms
and worm eggs or stages. Dr. Clark says that "If your child has diabetes, use nothing out of a can, package or bottle
except regular milk, and no
processed foods. THIS
MEANS NO MORE ASPARTAME (NUTRASWEET) OR SACCHARIN SWEETENED
FOODS OR DRINKS. SWEETEN ONLY WITH THE HERBAL STEVIA EXTRACT.
DONT BE TEMPTED.
It is imperative that you throw all of these type products
out! Do not leave
them in the house where their use comprises a convenience.
Throw them out and let the garbage man haul them away.
The association of
elevated body methanol levels with diabetic disease suggests
that methanol may be the solvent that enables certain flukes
and roundworms to use the pancreas as the "secondary
host" to complete their life cycle. Therefore deparasitizing the body is essential to overcome these disease states
but this can only be
effective if accomplished at the same time we rid our bodies
of wood alcohol and other xenobiotics.
Parasites Involved in Diabetes
"All diabetics
have a common fluke parasite, Eurytrema pancreaticum, the pancreatic
fluke of cattle, in their own pancreas. It seems likely that we get it from cattle, repeatedly, by eating
their meat or dairy products in a raw state.
It is not hard to kill with a zapper because of its
infective stages in our food supply we can immediately be
reinfected.
Eurytrema will not
settle and multiply in our pancreas without the presence of
wood alcohol (methanol) usually supplied in ample quantities
by soft drinks. Methanol pollution pervades our food supply"...
as discussed above.
"By killing
this parasite and removing wood alcohol from the diet, the
need for insulin can be cut in half in three weeks (or sooner!)."
"Be vigilant with
your blood sugar checks.
The pancreas with its tiny islets that produce insulin
recovers very quickly. Even if 90% of them were destroyed, requiring
daily insulin shots, half of them can recover or regenerate
so insulin is no longer necessary.
The insulin shot itself may be polluted with wood alcohol
(this is especially cruel irony -- the treatment itself is
worsening the condition). Test it yourself, using the wood alcohol in automotive fluids (windshield
washer) or from a paint store, as a test substance. Try different brands of insulin until you find
one that is free of methanol." [Dr. Clark is here talking
about electronic resonance testing with a purity tester.]
"Artificial sweeteners are polluted with wood
alcohol! Instead
of helping to cope with diabetes, they are actually promoting
it. Do not use them.
Drugs that stimulate
your pancreas to make more insulin may also carry solvent
pollution; test them for wood alcohol and switch brands and
bottles until you find a pure one. You may not need them much longer, so the extra
expense now may soon reward you.
Many persons can detoxify
the amount of wood alcohol that pollutes our foods. They do not have a food mold, Kojic acid, built up in their bodies as
diabetics do. I have
found Kojic acid in coffee, and potatoes with gray areas inside. Do not eat discolored potatoes or peels, even if cooked or baked. Being able to detoxify a poisonous substance
like wood alcohol should not give us the justification for
consuming it. All poisons are bad for us. Do not consume them.
All diabetic persons
also carry a virus, HA
virus, in the pancreas.
This virus grows in the skin as a wart but is spread
quite widely in the body such as in the spleen or liver besides
the pancreas. It is
not necessary to kill this virus since it disappears when
the pancreatic fluke is gone.
The HA virus undoubtedly belongs to the pancreatic
fluke. The question
can be asked: Does the fluke or its virus cause diabetes? There might even be a bacterium, so far missed
in our observations, that is the real perpetrator.
While recovering
from diabetes, it is very important to check your blood
sugar every day. Improvement
is so rapid, you may suddenly be over-insulinized by your
next shot. Cut down you dose to suit your actual need.
There are additional
aspects to diabetes that have been studied by alternative
physicians. For instance, allergy to wheat and other grains containing gluten is common. Perhaps the pancreas and its islets would heal
much faster if grains were out of the diet for a while. Perhaps the 50% improvement that is consistently
possible just by killing parasites and stopping wood alcohol
consumption could be improved further by a month of grain-free
diet. Eating fenugreek
seeds has been reported to greatly benefit (actually cure)
diabetes cases. Are
they a specific fluke killer, virus killer, or neither?
It seems a good idea to add this to your diet if you
are a diabetic. Wood alcohol also accumulates in the eyes,
and there is a connection between diabetes and eye disease. Bilberry
leaves are an herbal treatment for both diabetes and weak
eyes. Do they help by conteracting wood alcohol or
detoxifying Kojic acid? Make a tea for yourself, using 1/4 cup leaves
to three cups water. Drink
1/2 cup a day. Chromium
is another must for diabetics (200 mcg three times a day).
It helps insulin enter your cells.
Gold is attracted to
the pancreas. Heavy
metals should be removed from dentalware including all gold
crowns and no metal should be worn next to the skin as jewelry,
including all gold items."
It is imperative
that everyone in the family of a diabetic undergo parasite
elimination and maintenance.
Reinfection with the pancreatic fluke is impossible
to prevent otherwise.
Diabetes
Two types of diabetes
mellitus occur - Type I (juvenile-onset; brittle; insulin
dependent) and Type II or adult-onset (often called insulin-independent
diabetes). In Type I diabetes the islets of Langerhans
(the insulin producing cells) appear to be destroyed leading
to insulin insufficiency.
About ten percent of the diabetics have Type I.
Diabetes of this kind is difficult to cure but can
be significantly helped with the parasite elimination program
and dietary changes.
Type II diabetes which
accounts for approximately 90 percent of all diabetics is
not like Type I. In
Type II the body is able to produce enough insulin hormone
but its actions on the body's cells are impaired by other
factors including inappropriate diet, obesity, inactivity
and vitamin and mineral difficiencies.
Hyperinsulinemia (elevated insulin levels in the blood)
is one such state that interfers with the action of this hormone. Here the body appears to become insensitive to insulin. Blockage can also be effected by diets rich
in fats. Fat-rich diets as well as obesity are typically associated
with marked insulin insensitivity.
If diabetes is primarily
a nutritional disorder, it makes good sense to first treat
with a nutritional approach.
It has been demonstrated that a high carbohydrate,
high fiber diet can reduce blood sugar levels without insulin
or oral drugs in 70 to 80 percent of Type II diabetics.
This diet should also be low in fat.
Details are presented by Dr. John Davidson of Emory
University in a publication entitled Clinical
Diabetes Mellitus, A Problem Oriented Approach (New
York; Thieme, Inc. 1986).
This book strongly
emphasized the use of low fat meals and short-term fasting
to eliminate the need for oral hypoglycemic medications.
The type of carbohydrates employed in the diabetic
nutritional program makes a big difference.
Certain carbohydrates (i.e. sugars) are predominantly
converted into fats. This is because insulin is a storage hormone.
The body has only limited storage space for carbohydrates.
So excess carbohydrates, especially those consumed
in the form of simple sugars, must be disposed of (stored)
in some manner. The
body accomplishes this by converting these carbs into fat. This is important to understand because when
a low-fat diet that is based on complex carbohydrates such
as found in unrefined grains, vegetables, and legumes is followed
for several weeks, approximately 80 percent of the diabetics
can stop taking insulin and diabetic pills altogether, and
the remaining 20 percent can reduce their intake.
Chromium, zinc and manganese
help control blood sugar levels.
Adding wheat bran to the diet can lower blood
sugar levels. Bran
also contains silicon, a mineral that helps improve
pancreatic function.
Chlorophyll also improves pancreatic
function through its ability to increase the utilization of
nutrients. Chlorophyll
greatly assists in the process of cell renewal.
Therefore, it can greatly speed up the process of rebuilding
a damaged pancreas.
Diabetics often have
acidic blood. Additionally,
they experience general toxicity and numerous inflammations. It is important to alkalanize the blood and
chlorophyll is of immense value here.
It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a
tremendous detox agent.
Sweeteners of the stevia and licorice-root family are ok to use.
Certain oils are of
value in diabetes. Oils
containing gamma linolinic acid (GLA) are especially beneficial. Linoleic fatty acid has an insulin-sparing activity which means
that the available insulin will be more effective.
Sources of high-quality linoleic and omega-3-fatty
acids include fresh flax seed oil, evening primrose oil,
borage oil, black currant seed oil.
Do not use omega-3-rich
fish oils, concentrated in EPA and DHA omega-3s because of
the sudden impact of healing reactions which can lead to insulin
shock.
Vitamin B-6 is related
to certain forms of diabetes.
Vitamin B-6 is necessary for the normal metabolism
of the amino acid tryptophan.
When tryptophan metabolism is disturbed, an abnormal
type of diabetes can result. Supplementation with B-6 can improve diabetes
for some and reverse that form associated with pregnancy.
Low magnesium levels
are extremely common in diabetics.
It is unknown whether the diabetes causes the lower
blood levels of magnesium or whether the lower magnesium levels
causes the diabetes. Regardless, magnesium should be taken with
calcium. Usually preparations
providing 2 calciums for each 1 magnesium are used but impressive
results are also available when calcium and magnesium levels
are balanced.
Take 2 Basic Preventive 5 tablets 3 times daily. Basic Preventive 5
tablets contain sufficient chromium, vanadyl sulfate, zinc
and manganese to meet the needs of the Type II diabetic.
L-Carnitine is a compound
with potent fat mobilization properties that can be of value
in Type II diabetes.
Take 500 mg L-Carnitine twice daily,
preferrably on an empty stomach.
Do not use with milk, but instead swallow with water.
To assist in absorption take the L-Carnitine with 50
mg vitamin B-6 and 100 mg of vitamin C.
L-Glutamine reduces
the craving for sugars and nourishes the intestines. In large enough doses, L-Glutamine can actually increase the release
of growth hormone.
Take 500 mg L-Glutamine twice daily on an empty stomach.
Taurine plays a role
in the release of insulin.
Take 500 mg Taurine twice daily on an empty stomach.
Diabetics are under
tremendous oxidative stress.
This stress can be significantly relieved with thioctic
acid, a naturally occurring substance with a good track record
of treating diabetic polyneuropathy (severe nerve degeneration
causing loss of feeling and pain).
Take 600 mg thioctic acid daily (2 100 mg capsules 3 times
daily).
Diabetics are also
very likely to develop atherosclerosis resulting from oxidized
LDL cholesterol which is consumed by macrophages.
These macrophages, in "eating" this oxidized
cholesterol become so engorged on this waxy LDL substance
that they cannot escape from the arterial wall and thus are
now termed "foam cells."
These foam cell deposits form "fatty streaks"
which build up in the arterial walls and become the atherosclerotic
plaques which plug vital arteries.
The coronary arteries (heart) and arteries in the retina
(eye) are usually affected. Natural-source vitamin E slows down this process
and can arrest it.
Take 400 - 1200 I.U. natural-source vitamin E daily.
FOODS
Foods commonly used
in the treatment of diabetes include:
Grains and Legumes
millet, rice, sweet rice, oats, fresh
corn, whole wheat, bran, tofu and soy
products, mung beans and garbanzo beans
Chlorophyll Foods
wheat grass or barley grass, spirulina,
chlorella, liquid chlorophyll
Vegetables and Fruits
string beans, carrots, radishes, Jerusalem
artichokes, turnips, asparagus,
yams, spinich, avocados, pears. plums, lemons, grapefruit,
limes, blueberries, huckleberries.
Herbs
dandelion root and leaf, cedar berries,
yarrow flowers, blueberry and
huckleberry leaves, garlic, cayenne, ginger, hawthorne
berries
Sweeteners
licorice tea or powder, stevia extract
Animal Products
clam, abalone, cow's milk, yogurt, pancreas
of lamb, port, beef or fowl,
lamb kidney, chicken or goose, beef
NOTE:
It is probably best if diabetics refrained from consuming
any meat products for at least 60 days, preferrably longer
after diagnosis or once treatment starts.
HYPOGLYCEMIA
To control and/or resolve
a hypoglycemic condition it is necessary to control insulin
production. The attached
discussion of carbohydrate addiction is sufficient to understand
the problems in controlling hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia.
The symptoms of hypoglycemia
are numerous. Some
of these include:
insomnia
pale skin
sweating headache
fast pulse
low blood pressure
hot flashes crying
craving sweets
noise sensitivity
damp skin worry
tinnitus
mental disturbances
temper restlessness
shortness of breath dry mouth

HOW MANY SYMPTOMS DO
YOU HAVE?
Biological Treatment Procedures For
Arthritis, Diabetes And Other LGS Conditions
As early as 1968 a
naturopathic physician named Paavo O. Airola, reported on
the results of some highly successful biological treatment
procedures for curing arthritis and other chronic diseases
including diabetes in European clinics. One of the most prominent treatment centers
using this powerful and highly successful method of treatment
is the Brandals Health Clinic located in Sodertalje near Stockholm,
Sweden. The treatment procedures used for arthritics
are also used in the treatment of diabetes and for this reason
are included here.
The Miracles at Brandal
Dr. Airola provides
narrative accounts of many of the thousands of patients cured
of arthritis at Brandal.
Virtually all patients admitted for treatment at Brandal
are remarkable in that all suffer from severe pain, mild to
profound deformity and many are so crippled and debilitated
that they arrive in wheelchairs or on stretchers.
The cures were based
on the work, research and self experimentation of a courageous
and very determined lady, Alma Nissen, who 25 years earlier
had desperately sought relief from her own severe and debilitating
arthritis. Ms. Nissen relates:
"Twenty five years ago I was so incapacitated
by arthritis that I was practically bedridden. After trying all the available medical treatments,
consulting dozens of doctors, and several fruitless stays
in hospitals I was becoming progressively worse.
My hands and fingers were stiff and in constant pain. I could not bend myself, walk, or even turn
myself in bed. In
addition, I had a chronic ovary inflammation and constant
migraine. I was suffering from a bad case of insomnia with resulting nervous
exhaustion. I also
was chronically constipated. . .
I felt hopeless. Nobody could help me. I could not see my way out of the indescribable
suffering I had to endure.
But my spirit was strong and wouldn't give up. I was not willing to accept my lot as a bedridden invalid for the
rest of my life. With
the typical Scandanavian sisu
and perseverance I rebelled against my fate.
I wanted to live, become healthy again. . .
A book by a British physician, Sir Robert
McCarrison, gave me new hope and became the turning point
in my life. It opened
my eyes to the relation between nutrition and health.
I started to experiment with myself.
I changed my diet.
I fasted. I drank fresh vegetable juices and broths made
with cooked vegetables. I
drank herb teas. I
took enemas and utilized colonic irrigation to cleanse my
intestines of accumulated toxins and wastes.
I read all I could on the nature-cure methods and picked
up ideas here and there. I met the famous Danish raw-diet pioneer Dr.
Kristine Nolfi, M.D., and read and studied her book The Living Foods. I also took heat treatments and hydrobaths.
I must admit, I didn't have much faith in much of what
I did, but desperate as I was, I was willing to try anything.
Imagine my surprise when I started to
feel better and better! The
stiffness in my joints started to disappear.
I slept better; pain gave way, and after just a few
months I was, to my and everybody's amazement, completely
cured!
This was 25 years ago and I never had
a sick day since. No
traces of arthritis...Would you like to see how flexible and
elastic my body is?"...
Now when I cured myself I was so overjoyed
with the discoveries I made that I wanted to share them with
others and help as many as I could.
I visited Dr. McCarrison and he advised me to open
a clinic and help other arthritics regain their health.
Encouraged by the enthusiastic endorsement
of this great scientist, I transformed my seven-room apartment
in Copenhagen to an arthritis clinic.
Patients came from everywhere.
They were brought in on stretchers; they came supported
on crutches; they came in wheelchairs.
And after four to eight weeks on my simple regime they
left the clinic on their own feet, without wheelchairs and
crutches. The grateful
patients spread the news of their cures and a long line of
patients were waiting to come in under my care.
My arthritis therapies and extraordinary
results became widely publicized in the press. The Norwegian Medical Association invited me
to present a lecture on my therapies before the leading medical
authorities of the country....
My fame spread to Sweden and a wealthy
benefactor offered the Brandal, a beautiful estate with a
large villa, for my disposition, to be used as a rheumatic
clinic. I accepted
gratefully. That was
13 years ago. During
these years we have helped thousands of arthritis sufferers.
. ." (Paavo O. Airola, There
Is A Cure For Arthritis, 1968, Parker Publishing Co.
New York).
Dr. Airola goes on to say
"I also met a 43-year-old woman from
Stockholm. She had
been ill with arthritis for 14 years.
For 14 long years she visited hospital after hospital,
took drug after drug. You name it -- she'd had it: gold injection,
cortisone, Imagon, Butazolidin, etc.
The best arthritis specialists in the contry from Sodersjukhuset
and the famous Karolinska Institute in Stockholm treated her
until finally they all gave up, admitting that they could
do nothing more. She had come to the clinic just five days before and started fasting
immediately.
"I am so happy. It is unbeliveable!" she said to me with
enthusiasm. "In
just four days all pain is gone.
I could not straighten this leg before --look at it
now! It is completely
straight. After 14
years of pain and suffering--it is just unbelievable! It's a miracle!" (Paavo O. Airola, There
Is A Cure For Arthritis, 1968, Parker Publishing Co.
New York).
Many cases are described
in Dr. Airola's book. With
the high success rate seen at Brandal and many other European
clinics treating arthritis, the question arises as to why
this approach to treatment has been absent in the U.S. for
all these years? Insufficient
time? Not hardly.
Recall that his book was written in 1968 and was based
on extensive clinical findings including double-blind, controlled
studies published in peer reviewed journals. Some of the findings actually extend back as
far as 25 years and most of the cases discussed in the book
utilized procedures that had been in use since 1957 or 1958
- or at least 10 years. Yet, even as of November, 1996, some 38 years
later, neither the Arthritis Foundation, the American Medical
Association nor the average American allopathic physician,
were acting as if they had heard of or believed in this highly
successful treatment approach.
Offering a reason why
the arthritic public is still in the dark, Dr. Airola relates:
"The reason why you do not hear about
this from your television screen is because there is no money
in selling knowledge, truth, education.
You cannot pack knowledge in a bright labeled bottle,
as pill manufacturers do, and make a million dollar business
out of it.
When your doctor tells you that there
is no cure for arthritis he means that there is no cure for
arthritis with a drug or a knife -- because the pharmacological
and surgical treatments are virtually the only curative methods
accepted and employed by the average orthodox, allopathic
medical doctor. And
they are 100 percent correct:
There is no cure
for arthritis with drug or knife.
But there definitely is a cure for arthritis
with biological therapeutic methods.
Thousands of arthritis sufferers throughout the world
have obtained complete freedom from pain, recession of swollen
joints, and disappearance of every trace of this crippling
and agonizing disease. There
are dozens of clinics and spas in Europe where arthritis is
cured today, along with most of the other common ailments
and chronic diseases.
The biological methods employed by these clinics are:
dietetic restrictions, fasting, herbal treatments, juice therapies,
biological medicines, heat treatments, massage, manipulations,
hydro-therapies, and a number of other drugless treatments."[emphasis
added]
The patients discharged
from Brandal or any of the dozens of other clinics have learned
to follow the routines they learned there and when put into
practice at home these patients continue to be disease free.
These routines include hot and cold showers, dry brush
massages, exercises and a healthful diet.
Biological Treatments that Cure Arthritis and Related Disorders
Biological therapies
are aimed at
(1) correcting the abnormal and health-destroying
conditions which cause
arthritis, and,
(2) assisting the body heal itself.
This latter step is
accomplished by normalizing all the metabolic processes, cleansing
the body of the accumulated toxins and wastes, strengthening
the functions of all vital organs, revitalizing glandular
activity, establishing chemical balance and in sum, simply
rebuilding the health of the patient.
Drug Withdrawal
Conventional arthritic
drugs are used only to mask and suppress the symptoms. These
forms of treatments (i.e. drugs) have absolutely no place
in biological treatment programs.
It is important to
understand that virtually all arthritic drugs are aimed at
pain elimination. To
suppress pain without attempting to eliminate the original
cause is contrary to the philosophy of biological medicine.
Rule # 1 becomes:
Complete withdrawal of all drugs.
It has already been
amply demonstrated that to obtain lasting results, the withdrawal
of all drugs is imperative.
This is not possible
with diabetes if one considers insulin to be a drug.
Withdrawal of insulin should be under the direction of your
physician unless you are able to gauge your own requirements
on a daily basis.
Diet
This is the dominant
form of treatment. Many
observations show that the diets of most (probably all) arthritics
is deficient in vital nutrients for prolonged periods and
is usually loaded with overcooked, canned, frozen, devitalized
and over-refined foods. Usually
great amounts of empty calories are consumed from white sugar
and white flour. Add
to this the problem of overeating, alcohol, smoking, coffee,
failure to exercise and this results in a general breakdown
of health. It is interesting
that the diets of diabetics are similarly devoid of vital
nutrients and have been for long periods of time. They are also loaded with overcooked, canned,
frozen, devitalized and over-refined foods.
The diet during the
first two to four weeks consists primarily of raw, uncooked
fruits and vegetables with some cooked foods.
Most of the procedures use boiled potatoes
and vegetable soups in addition to the raw foods. All the clinics use raw milk in the form of homemade soured milk.
Some of the clinics
exclude all cooked foods during the first
phase of treatment as well as all foods of animal origin
including meats, fish, eggs, milk, butter and cheeze.
Breads and cooked cereals are also eliminated
as well during the first two to four weeks. Raw nuts, seeds and sprouted grains are included
in the raw food.
Therapeutic Fasting
The quintessential
biological treatment modality employed in all the biological
clinics treating arthritis is fasting.
Fasting is something that most allopathic physicians
do not understand nor are they ever taught.
Therapeutic fasting
is the total abstinence from food.
This is done to promote healing and for the restoration
of health. Large numbers of studies all confirm the therapeutic
value of fasting. All
doctors who employ fasting testify that fasting indeed works. In fact, fasting is perhaps the most efficient
way known to correct virtually any disease.
Dr. Airola says
"The therapeutic value of fasting
is based on the following physiological facts:
1. Autolysis
is a known metabolic phenomenon of self-digestion or disintegration
of the body's own tissues.
2. Therapeutic
fasting induces the development of autolysis and directs its
physiological effect for constructive healing purposes.
To
clarify: when disease takes hold of the body it is usually
because of the weakened defensive mechanism and impaired normal
functions of the vital organs.
Due to continuous neglect in feeding the body properly
and failure to observe the other rules of health, the glandular
activity and metabolic rate slows down and the eliminative
organs lose their efficiency.
Many of the toxins and metabolic wastes remain in the
body and are deposited in the tissues, causing autointoxication. In rheumatic diseases these wastes, such as uric acid crystals and
mineral compounds including heavy metal toxins and other un-natural
chemicals (i.e. xenobiotics), are deposited in the joints
and soft tissues.
Now, we must recognize the fact that the
body's own healing powers are constantly trying to correct
any and all defects, disturbances and damages if given the
slightest chance. Such a chance and opportunity for self-regeneration
and healing is made possible during the fast.
First,
during prolonged fast (after the first three days) the body
will burn and digest its own tissues by the process of autolysis,
or self-digestion. In its wisdom -- and here lies the secret of
the extraordinary effectiveness of fasting as curative therapy!
-- the body will only decompose and burn those substances
and tissues which are diseased, damaged, or of lesser importance
to the body economy, such as all morbid accumulations, tumors,
abscesses, damaged tissues, fat deposits, etc. These are consumed and utilized first. The essential tissues of vital organs are spared.
Second,
the eliminating and cleansing capacity of the eliminative
organs -- lungs, liver, kidneys, and skin -- is increased
during fasting, and masses of accumulated metabolic wastes
and toxins are quickly expelled. This is evident in the following typical symptoms
of fasting: offensive
breath, dark urine (concentration of toxins in urine ten times
higher than normal --" ... "continuous and generous
discharge of feces, skin eruptions, perspiration, catarrhal
elimination, etc.
Third,
a fast affords a physiological rest to the digestive and protective
organs of the body. After
fasting, the digestion and utilization of food is greatly
improved, which makes the assimilation of all the important
nutrients more effective.
Fourth,
a fast exerts a normalizing and stabilizing effect on all
the physiological, nervous, and mental functions.
The nervous system is regenerated; mental powers improved;
glandular chemistry and secretions are normalized.
It is easy to see, then, why fasting is
such an effective therapeutic measure in treatment of a great
variety of diseases, including arthritis.
Fresh
Juices
Although the classic form of fasting is
the so-called pure water fast (abstinence from all foods and
drinks with the exception of pure water), all the practitioners
I interviewed in European clinics, including the champion
of therapeutic fasting in modern times, Dr. Otto Buchinger,
Jr., use fresh juices, vegetable broths, and herb teas during
fasting.
Biologically oriented doctors feel that
freshly pressed vegetable and fruit juices, given to the patient
during the fast, will speed his recovery. This is attributed
to the fact that raw vegetables and fruit juices, as well
as freshly made vegetable broth, are rich in vitamins, minerals,
enzymes, and trace elements, which help to normalize the bodily
processes and speed up recovery.
At the same time, they are very easily assimilated
directly into the bloodstream without putting a strain on
the digestive organs.
Juices most frequently used in Sweden
are: carrot juice, apple juice, black currant juice, and tomato
juice.
Vegetable
Broth
Vegetable broth is made by boiling all
kinds of available vegetables, but predominantly potatoes,
carrots, and celery, chopped to about half-inch pieces, for
30 minutes in a pot of water ... Then it is strained and the
vegetables are thrown away. The remaining liquid is a highly alkaline, mineral-packed broth,
which is considered to be of extraordinary importance in biological
arthritis therapy. It
combats acidosis or a tendency toward a high acidity in the
bloodstream and tissues. It helps to normalize the mineral balance in
the tissues, which, according to Dr. Lars-Erik Essen, is of
utmost importance for the effectiveness of the fast.
Both vegetable broth and fresh vegetables
and fruit juices are concentrated nutrition. Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to call
such therapy a liquid diet, rather than a fast.
Herb
Teas
All biological clinics use various herb
teas, both during fasting and while on a diet.
The medicinal value of herbs is well known.
Herb medicines are the oldest remedy known to man.
The herb teas used in Swedish clinics
are usually made from native herbs: rose hips (very rich in
vitamin C), peppermint, milfoil, etc...
Enema
Fasting is always accompanied by enemas,
or colonic baths, taken two or three times a day. Most clinics administer an enema twice a day;
some, like Kjorkagarden and Vita Nova, three times a day, two or three small enemas as a time. An enema is generally considered to be an extremely
important measure for keeping the large intestine clean from
wastes and speeding evacuation of toxic matter from the system
through the bowels.
Intermediate
Diet
After the fast is broken, the patient
is put on a special diet.
This consists of an abundance of raw vegetables and
fruits, vegetable and fruit juices, some cooked dishes, such
as boiled potatoes, vegetable soups, beans, homemade soured
milk (from raw unpasturized milk), whey cheeze, and salt-free
cottage cheese.
Colonic
Irrigation
In addition to an enema the patients who
have a record of chronic constipation prior to coming to the
clinic (a common affliction of many arthritics) are given
a colonic irrigation once or twice during the first week.
This is a treatment which employs a specially constructed
appliance to thoroughly wash the large intestine and colonic
tract.
Hot
and Cold Shower
One of the treatments which many practitioners,
particularly at the Brandals Clinic, attach a great importance
to, is an alternating hot and cold shower.
It is administered in the morning.
The procedure is as follows: First, a
warm shower for about ten to 15 minutes to get the body really
warmed up. This is followed by a cold shower for approximately
one to three minutes. Water
should be as cold as the patient can stand. After that the patient receives a vigorous
dry brushing with a stiff brush and is rubbed with a coarse
towel until he is completely warmed up.
The importance of the alternating hot
and cold shower lies in the fact that it stimulates the adrenal
and other endocrine glands and reactivates their functions. Alma Nissen calls such a shower "a cortisone injection -- but
without cortisone's undesirable side effects!"
Sufficient
Rest
All biological clinics stress the importance
of sufficient rest for patients with arthritis. After lunch, 1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M., there
is an obligatory quiet hour, when all patients take a long
afternoon nap.
Exercise
Various therapeutic exercises are a standard
routine in the biological clinic.
Exercises are adapted to the condition of the patient. Walks in the woods are encouraged -- all the
Swedish clinics which I visited are surrounded by beautiful
woods that afford invigorating walks in the fresh air.
In addition, special relaxation gymnastics are given
in some clinics.
Baths
Therapeutic baths are an important part
of the biological program.
In addition to alternating hot and cold showers, mentioned
before, the following baths are employed:
whirlpool massage, sitz bath, Kuhne-bath, steam bath,
sauna, Gusse-shower, warm sand bath (Bircher-Benner), etc.
Massage
Dry brush massage is an important therapeutic
measure. It stimulates
the circulation; brings the blood to the skin; keeps skin
clean from dead cells and impurities; and opens pores.
The skin is your biggest eliminative organ and it is
of vital importance that it functions as such efficiently.
In addition, conventional massage -- so-called
Swedish massage -- is frequently used to help the affected
joints to regain their lost elasticity and movements.
Many
Other Forms
Many other forms of biological treatments
are used in addition to the "standards" outlined
above. Every clinic
has its own specialities.
Bjorkagarden stresses vacuum massage and modern cupping
as being of extraordinary importance. Vita Nova uses nontoxic biological medicines
in the form of subcutaneous injections.
Various forms of heat treatments are used in almost
all clinics: high-frequency, pulsed, short-wave therapy; infrared
heat lamps; cold and hot packs; mud packs (Heilerde); etc.
Positive
Attitude
The importance of positive attitude on
the part of patients is emphasized in all clinics. After years of pain and suffering, persons afflicted with arthritis
are often irritable, tense, bitter, and resentful. These negative emotions can do much to make
efforts to regain health difficult, even impossible.
Therefore, fostering a positive, trustful
attitude in the patient and insuring his thorough understanding
of the various biological treatments and expected reactions
is a very important part of the total program in every biological
clinic. Several evenings every week special lectures are presented
to acquaint new patients with the intricate metabolic processes
of the body and the functions of various organs. The causative factors leading to the development
of the disease are explained.
The mechanics and effects of biological treatments,
as well as the whole philosophy of biological medicine, is
made clear and comprehensive. The fact that there are no shortcuts to the
cure of arthritis is emphasized.
A biological program of treatments is not easy.
There are no specific miracle treatments, no specific
diets which can cure arthritis.
Arthritis can be cured only by the efforts of the body's
own healing powers. With the assistance of the wide arsenal of biological treatments
and with the full and cheerful cooperation of the patient
it can be done. It is done every day. But in order to achieve lasting and effective
results, full co-operation and a positive effort on the part
of the patient is imperative.
The patient must understand that the cure
is possible only if he is willing to discard completely his
former mode of living and accept a new way of life.
He must have the willingness and determination to follow
the new biological programs and have a trustful and cooperative
attitude. The negative attitude will lock up the healing
forces of the body, whereas a positive attitude will unlock
them and spur them into full action.
It requires a certain amount of intelligence,
understanding, and patience, in addition to a sense of determination
and self-discipline, to undertake a biological program of
treatments and not give up before noticeable results are observed. It often takes time to induce a betterment.
. ."
Biological
Methods Scientifically Proven
By now it must be evident to the average
reader that the biological approach to arthritis is quite
different from conventional practices.
As with every new concept and new approach, it takes
an unprejudiced and objective attitude on the part of practitioners
to be able to grasp and accept the new discoveries.
It is natural to be doubtful and even skeptical of
something which is contrary to common practice and the accepted
line of thought. Moreover,
the new biological approach seems to be so down-to-earth simple
that for a technologically minded and pseudoscientifically
trained, twentieth century space-oriented man it may seem
too simple to be true. However, hundreds of medical doctors in Europe
have given this down-to-earth, commonsense, nature-cure approach
a fair trial. They
were soon convinced of its extraordinary merits.
Its effectiveness is proven by actual result-producing
application on thousands upon thousands of successfully treated
patients...
It is unfortunate, indeed, that it takes
such a long time before new discoveries and original ideas
become universally accepted and officially endorsed.
Millions of sick people suffer because of unwillingness
on the part of conservative practitioners to accept and use
new, unconventional methods of treatment. . ." (Paavo

Parker Publishing Co. New York).
NUTRITION: A VITAL ROLE IN CURING ARTHRITIS
Problems
steming from faulty nutrition is perhaps the most important
causative factor in the etiology (causative history) of arthritis.
Not only must digestion be improved, the foods that
are being digested must be correct, whole and organic.
The digestive wastes must be eliminated quickly and
efficiently as well.
A
problem that always arises is the average American's conception
of what he eats. He
often believes that he is eating properly. For example, he might say to you that he has
always tried to eat healthy foods.
He may say that he eats plenty of meat and eggs, and
drinks lots of milk. He may also say that he eats cereal for breakfast,
and one or two vegetables with his meat each day. He will often tell you that he eats his "One-A-Day"
vitamin each day, faithfully. He believes that this is a health diet.
But
in actuality he is eating lots of polluted animal protein;
devitalized, foodless cereals; canned vegetables and instant
mashed potatoes; white bread; sugared desserts where even
ordinary sugar is missing, having been replaced by corn syrup
and where hydrogenated vegetable oils and tons of preservatives
are used to prevent the junk from going stale.
Imagine having to eat stale junk food.
After all, fresh junk food is bad enough.
There
are essentially seven rules that must be followed regarding
foods.
1. Natural Foods
The
first rule of optimum nutrition is that you
must eat natural foods.
This is because the condition of your health is in
direct relation to the naturalness of the foods you eat.
Here
in the United States we have almost lost our ability to tell
what is natural and what is not.
For example, we think that eggs are eggs and that any
egg therefore is natural. Wrong. "Eggs
laid by hens which have access to the outdoors, green grass,
seeds, insects, and worms are natural, fertile eggs full of
nutritive value. But
eggs produced in an egg factory, by hens who never see a rooster,
nor sunlight, and eat only synthetic laying mash, are not
natural. Not only
is the chemical composition of such an egg altered and unbalanced,
but also its nutritional value is far below that of a natural
egg."
The
fruits and vegetables that you eat should also grow in healthy,
fertile soils, without chemical fertilizers or sprays.
The importance of eating organic foods cannot be over
stated. Even the milk we drink must be organic. Cheese, meats, and other products derived from
animals must be organic as well.
This means that they must come from healthy animals
fed organically grown fodder and not artificially raised with
the help of hormones, antibiotics, fat promoters, milk-fat
enhancers, etc.
2. Whole Foods
The
second rule of vital nutrition is that your
foods must be whole, complete, unrefined and unadulterated. Examples of whole foods include: whole wheat,
brown rice, oranges, sugar cane (not corn syrup) and potatoes
are all whole foods.
Whole
foods are simply foods which still contain all the nutrients
which nature intended us to eat.
They have all the vitamins (with certain exceptions),
minerals (with certain exceptions), proteins, carbohydrates
and a natural compliment of enzymes which are essential to
good health. Whole
foods are unrefined. Whole foods are not concentrates, nor parts
of whole foods.
It
is hard to believe that upwards of 95 percent of the foods
consumed by the average American today has been tampered with
in some manner, adulterated in some manner, overcooked, and
processed in such a manner that it is virtually devitalized
of all nutritional value.
White bread, white sugar, breakfast cereals are examples
of devitalized, nutritionless foods.
And our children only know Honey-Nut Cheerios.
Remember,
only whole foods can supply optimum nutrition for optimum
health.
3.
Living Foods
The third rule of vital nutrition is that every
food you eat should be eaten as fresh as possible. They should be eaten raw in the case of fruits
and vegetables. They
should not be cooked, canned or frozen.
If cooking is necessary, they should be cooked as little
as possible, preferably steamed or cooked with little or no
water. All of the
broths that result from cooking should be consumed as well.
Raw
foods are necessary for proper nutrition because of the enzymes
they contain. Cooking
always destroys the enzymes in food.
Completely destroyed.
The heat of cooking also damages some of the vitamins,
particularly vitamins B and C.
Even
freezing destroys the nutritive value of foods. Canning, drying (dehydrating), preserving and keeping such foods
stored for long periods of time also destroy the nutritive
value of foods.
Raw
foods act as intestinal cleansers.
They are the best preventive measure against constipation.
Cooked
food is dead food. Only
living foods can build and/or restore health.
4. Poison-Free Foods
The next rule is simply that your food must
be poison free. If
you can't get foods that are organic and free of colorants,
waxes, etc, at least wash them thoroughly before preparing
them. Special peroxide-containing
products are especially useful in de-contaminating all foods.
Remember, there are more than 3,500 different chemicals used
in the processing of foods.
Our deteriorating health rests squarely on the shoulders
of the chemical industry's powerful lobby!
5. Balanced Diet
You
can forget that stupid little pyramid that is supposed to
represent the latest Washington-based thinking on what we
should eat. All you need to know is that the optimum diet for optimum health
and vitality is a diet low in animal protein and rich in natural
carbohydrates and protein foods from vegetable sources.
Such a diet would include raw fruits and vegetables.
6. Undereating
It
is a fact that undereating leads to longevity.
Foods eaten in excess of your bodily needs act as poisons,
interfering with digestion, causing internal sluggishness,
gas and incomplete assimilation.
Excess foods are the greatest causes of fermentation
and putrefaction.
7. Correct
Eating Habits
It
is not only what you eat but how you eat that is important. We are not what we eat, but rather what we
assimilate.
Many
of us gulp our food, without chewing it properly. Many of us eat out of habit, eating when we are not hungry. All foods must be properly chewed and chewed
thoroughly. Never
eat in a hurry. It is also necessary to eat in a relaxed atmosphere.
Eating
should be a pleasure. But
eat to live, don't live to eat.
A
sample menu is presented in the Appendix along with recipes
that are followed at our Vida Linda Clinic.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT FOR G.I. AND LIVER
FUNCTION IN
DIABETES
Because Leaky Gut Syndrome
is the basis of most disturbed gut and G.I. functions, including
diabetes, it is desirable to correct even the slightest disturbances
in function in all the organs involved.
Beginning with the stomach it is best to assist the
digestive process with dietary enzymes.
1. Take
1-3 Similase® capsules 3 times daily at the beginning of meals. CAUTION:
If you are suffering from or have been diagnosed as
having gastritis, gastric or duodenal ulcers do not use Similase®.
Similase® is a highly
concentrated plant enzyme digestive formula designed for persons
on an average mixed diet containing carbohydrates, protein,
fat, fiber and dairy products.
2. It is impossible to overstate the necessity
of reestablishing normal beneficial bacteria populations in
the intestines. The
best policy is to provide diverse forms of beneficial bacteria
in the nutritional support program.
Accordingly:
Take 2 Enterogenic® capsules twice daily between meals with
at least 8 oz of pure drinking water. This will supply your system with fructooligosaccharides
(FOS), a food stuff you don't absorb but which enables beneficial
bacteria to fluorish. These
capsules will also provide you with more than 6 billion viable
organisms including Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifodobacterium
bifidum, B. infantis, and Streptococcus faecium.
3. The intestines retain vast amounts of toxins
when normal functions are disturbed.
These toxins must be removed, otherwise there is little
hope of recovering from Leaky Gut Syndromes including diabetes.
This process is best begun through products that absorb
intestinal toxins. If
you are regular then the following procedure may be eliminated
or modified.
Take 6 Fiber Formula® capsules on an empty stomach with a
large glass of water. Repeat
twice daily. This
will provide psyllium hull powder, oat bran, bentonite powder,
bromelain (a digestive aid), papain, guar gum, marshmallow
root, prune powder, vitamin C, Echinacea, Goldenseal, Cranesbill
and Ginger root. If you have been through the Health Restoration Consultants Intestinal
Cleanse (Phase II) with Vega Lax and Miracle 7 Colon Cleanser,
then 6 Fiber Formula capsules may not be necessary.
4. It is probable that in most cases of Leaky
Gut Syndrome and diabetes, heavy metal poisoning is involved. Heavy metals create massive amounts of tissue
damage through their ability to generate free radicals. Free radicals are easily as damaging as radiation,
if not more so. It
becomes necessary to reduce oxidative damage.
Oxyperm®, is a targeted
antioxidant support for the gastrointestinal mucosa. This product supplies quercetin, ginko flavone
glycosides, N-Acetyl-L-Cystein, beta carotene, selenium and
vitamins C, E and zinc.
Take 1 to 2 Oxyperm® capsules with meals three times daily.
5. The intestinal mucosa must be nourished to
overcome the ravages of LGS.
Permeability Factors® is a product designed to supply
nutritional support to the mucosa.
This product supplies L-Glutamine, N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine,
Gamma Linolenic Acid, Gamma Oryzanol, Vitamin E and Phosphatidyl
Choline in a base of Safflower oil.
L-Glutamine provides
energy to small intestinal mucosa, supports secretory IgA
production (an immune factor), and promotes mucosal integrity.
N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) supplies naturally-occurring
glycoconjugate precursor for production of protective intestinal
mucin. Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is a polyunsaturated
fatty acid precursor for prostaglandin E1 synthesis. Gamma Oryzanol is a natural component of rice
oil studied for its effects on gastrointestinal mucosa.
Phosphatidyl Choline
has been shown to protect and restore the gastrointestinal
mucosa from chemical irritation by strengthening the mucous-phospholipid
layer. Lecithin, an important dietary source of Phosphatidyl
Choline, has been shown to prevent disruption of the mucosal
barrier due to bile salt injury.
Take 2 Permeability Factors® softgel capsules 3 times daily
between meals.
Supplement this with
IGA+, an intracellular reduced glutathione enhancer.
Take 2 IGA+ capsules three times daily for first week, then
2 IGA+ capsules daily thereafter.
6. The liver is overworked in all diseases caused
by LGS. Accordingly,
the liver must be supplied with nutrients essential to phase
I and II liver detoxication.
These nutrients include antioxidants, conjugating agents,
glutathione precursors, sulfhydryl and methyl donors, vitamin
and mineral cofactors.
Take 2 Detoxication Factors® capsules 3 times daily between
meals.
Herbal Home Colonic Program
Digestive system and
colon health have reached an all time low in the United States. Diseases of the digestive tract are on the
rise.
In 1994 the #1 cancer among men and women was rectalcolon.
Modern lifestyle has
taken its toll on our digestive system.
Refined, processed, low fiber foods, animal fats, environmental
chemicals, lack of exercise and an ever increasing level of
stress all contribute to our current gastrointestinal health
crisis.
The frequency at which
a normal, healthy person should move their bowels has been
a great misconception among the public and most medical professionals. For years doctors have thought that anywhere
between 1 bowel movement a day and 1 a week was normal. In the examination of more primitive peoples
we find that their bowels move much more frequently, 2 to
3 times daily on the average.
This is because these people eat better, get more exercise
and have much less stress. What we have learned is that it is normal to have 1 bowel movement a day
for each meal you eat (if you eat 3 meals you should have
3 bowel movements).
The Merck
Manual, the medical industry's standard text for the
diagnosis and treatment of disease tells us that colon degeneration
is on the rise. The incidence of diverticulosis has increased
dramatically over the last 40 years.
It states that in 1950 only 10 percent of adults over
the age of 45 had this disease.
In 1955 diverticulosis had increased to 15 percent.
By 1972 just over 30 percent of the population suffered
from this disorder and by 1987 it had increased to near 50
percent. The latest
edition states that the incidence increases rapidly over age
40 and that "every person will have many" [diverticula]
if they live long enough.
Every American adult will have herniation of the large
intestine.
Diverticula are saccular
herniations that protrude through the wall of the colon. These "bowel pockets" are like "bubbles"
on the sides of innertubes that have been over inflated. Diverticula are almost always asymptomatic
(you can't feel them). They
are caused by a sluggish, constipated bowel.
These pockets fill with old fecal material full of
putrefaction and toxins. These toxic materials can be re absorbed back
into the bloodstream. This
can infect the entire body causing all types of toxic reactions.
A sluggish bowel can
retain many pounds of old, toxic and poisonous fecal matter. Studies have shown that some people may retain
40 or more pounds of this material in their large intestine. Many times the real cause behind sickness and
disease is retention and re absorption of this toxic waste.
The first step in everyone's
health program should be stimulating, cleaning and toning
all the elimination organs and systems, and the bowel is one
of the best places to begin.
2
Week Herbal Home Colonic Program
Day #1. Start with two capsules of Vega-Lax intestinal
corrective formula during or just after your evening meal. This formula works best when mixed with food.
Drink at least 8 oz of pure drinking water after the meal.
Day #2. This morning (by noon) you should notice an
increase in your bowel action and in the amount of fecal matter
that you eliminate. The
consistency should also be softer.
If you do not notice any difference in your bowel behavior
today or if the difference was not dramatic don't worry. Take
two capsules of Vega-Lax with lunch (with 8 oz water). Then tonight take two more Vega-Lax capsules
(again with 8 oz water).
That's 4 capsules total for the day.
Days #3-7. Continue taking 2 Vega-Lax capsules with lunch
(with 8 oz water) and two Vega-Lax capsules with supper (with
8 oz water). If your
bowels are moving satisfactorily (i.e. noticeable improvement)
stay at this dosage of 2 capsules with lunch and 2 capsules
with supper for the rest of the week. If you are not moving satisfactorily, you will
need to continue to increase your dosage every evening by
one Vega-Lax capsule until you notice a dramatic difference
in the way your bowel works. It has taken most of us years to create a sluggish
bowel so lets be patient for a few days and increase by one
capsule each day.
By the end of the first
week you should know what your dosage is. This is your "established
dose." If
not then remain on this formula alone for an additional week
to get regulated before you go on to the next step.
Your established dose is that dose that enables you
to have at least three good bowel movements each day.
Do not proceed into the next phase until you have determined you established
dose.
Week #2. At the beginning of week two is when you
would ordinarily start the Miracle 7 Colon Cleanser. We will take this formula
2 times each day beginning in the morning after breakfast.
On arising (before breakfast) drink 8 ounce Hot Lemon-Water
Flush1. After
breakfast and dinner take the Miracle 7 Colon Cleanser capsules
according to the following weight schedule:
Adults:
Under 100 lbs.: 4 capsules a.m. and 4 capsules p.m.
101
- 175 lbs.: 5 capsules a.m. and 5 capsules p.m.
Over
175 lbs.: 6 capsules a.m. and 6 capsules p.m.
with 8 ounces of diluted,
organic juice (fruit or vegetable) or Hydrating Drink2.
Within an hour after
taking the Miracle 7 Colon Cleanser, drink an additional 8
ounces of pure drinking water, Hydrating Drink, or herbal
tea. Try to consume between 80 and 128 ounces of liquid each day. This makes the Colonic Program much more effective.
During week #2 you will continue to take your "established
dose" of Vega-Lax as
usual but increase the dosage you discovered the first week
by one additional capsule at supper (i.e. your "established
dose" plus 1).
Vega-Lax
Intestinal Corrective Formula
Ingredients: Each capsule contains 194 mg Senna leaves and
pods (Cassia marilandica),
194 mg Cascara Sagrada aged bark (Rhamnus
purshiana), as well as 35 mg of a dehydrated aloe vera
gel referred to as Glucomannon.
This dose of Glucomannon powder is equivalent of 700
mg Aloe Vera liquid gel.
Therapeutic action: This stimulating formula is cleansing, healing
and strengthening to the entire gastrointestinal system. It stimulates your peristaltic action (the
muscular movement of the intestines) and over time strengthens
the muscles of the large intestine, halts putrefaction and
disinfects, soothes and heals the mucous membrane lining of
the entire digestive tract. This herbal formula also improves digestion, relieves gas and cramps,
increases the flow of bile which in turn cleans the gall bladder,
bile ducts and liver. It
also helps to destroy Candida
albicans overgrowth and promotes a healthy intestinal
flora. In combination
with the Miracle 7 Colon Cleanser it helps destroy and expel
intestinal parasites, increases gastrointestinal circulation
and is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal.
Contraindications: The FDA requires the following warning: Do not use during pregnancy without the guidance
of a competent health care professional. However, in our experience no harm has ever been reported following
the use of this product during pregnancy.
Miracle 7 Colon Cleanser
Ingredients: Each capsule contains a skillfully blended
mixture of natural and organic ingredients consisting of Psyllium
Seed Hull Powder, Pharmaceutical Grade Bentonite Clay, Citrus
Pectin, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Wheat Grass Powder,
Apple Fiber, Golden Seal Root, Gentian, Buckthorn, Rhubarb
Root, Cascara Sagrada, whole leaf Aloe Vera and spices.
Therapeutic action: This cleansing and soothing formula is to be
used during week two with the Vega-Lax intestinal corrective
formula. In combination with the Vega-Lax, this formula
becomes a highly powerful purifier and intestinal vacuum. This formula will draw old fecal matter off
the walls of your colon and out of any bowel pockets. It will also draw out poisons, toxins, heavy metals such as mercury
and lead and even remove radioactive material such as strontium
90. This formula will
also remove over 3,000 known drug residues.
Its natural mucilaginous properties will soften old,
hardened fecal matter for easy removal and also make it an
excellent remedy for any inflammation in the stomach and intestines.

Diseases Caused by Mercury
Amalgam Fillings
Mercury is one of the
most toxic elements on earth.
It is linked to many of the most degenerative and horrible
diseases known to man. It
is unfortunate that these diseases are virtually all iatrogenic
- diseases caused by inappropriate medical / dental treatment.
Mercury is one of the
deadliest toxins known to man.
Its toxicity may well prove to be the most invasive
and widespread disease in the history of mankind.
Mercury poisoning causes many common medical and mental
problems including but definitely not limited to:
· generalized morning stiffness
· joint pain
· rheumatoid arthritis
· mixed connective tissue disease
· skin rashes
· subcutaneous nodules (skin bumps)
· multiple sclerosis
· amyotropic lateral sclerosis
· neurological symptoms
· ringing
in the ears
· burning
and numbness sensations
· dry eyes and mouth
· immune dysfunction
· axillary lymph node swelling
· digestive disorders
· malnutrition
· leaky
gut syndrome
· dysbiosis
· yeast and pathogenic bacteria infections
· chronic fatigue
· depression
· circulatory diseases
· atherosclerosis
and the list goes on
and on.
Most of the mercury in
our bodies comes from the amalgams used to fill teeth. Though called silver fillings because of their
silver appearance, these fillings contain 50 percent or more
mercury along with other dangerous and toxic metals including
copper, nickel, and tin.
Mercury can cause serious dementia, depression
and short-term memory loss as well as all of the above listed
symptoms and diseases. The
American Dental Association (ADA) has known about the extreme
toxicity of mercury for many years, yet they continue to deny
that mercury in amalgams is toxic and they are adamant in
denying that mercury leaches out of the filling. For many years now the ADA has been extremely
active in keeping dental patients from learning that dentists
have poisoned more than 85 percent of our population!
The ADA continues to
fight a rear-guard battle to cover up their culpability in
much the same way that tobacco and the cigarette industry
have covered up and/or suppressed information suggesting that
their products were connected with any disease entity.
This is the same type of criminal negligence that surrounded
the use of silicone breast implants, asbestos, intrauterine
contraceptive devices (IUDs), and pickup truck gas tanks.
It's all about greed and stupidity, egos and reputations
and from one perspective represents the most reprehensible
form of unethical and immoral behavior imaginable.
Dentists have known about
the deadly consequences of mercury for many years. Mercury amalgams were introduced into the United
States in 1833, more than 160 years ago and were denounced
at that time by large numbers of American dentists.
The opposition was so strong that the American Society
of Dental Surgeons, formed in 1840, required its members to
sign pledges promising not to use amalgams.
And in 1848 they actually found 11 members of the society
guilty of malpractice for using amalgams. All were suspended resulting in such an uproar
that the Society had no choice but to disband in 1856. Its successor was the American Dental Association.
Dental amalgams were not in good repute until after
1895 at which time it is believed that the ADA supported their
use.
Prior to World War II
a German chemist named Dr. Alfred Stock published many articles
on the dangers of mercury fillings.
A colorado dentist, Hal Huggins has spoken out against
amalgams for more than 20 years now.
His book "It's All In Your Head"
will teach you everything the ADA is trying to cover
up. Read it and you will then know more about mercury
toxicity than 99 percent of all American dentists.
Your dentist may attempt
to refute the bad information on mercury amalgams because
he is under pressure from the ADA to deny that this mercury
leaches out. He also is probably unaware that a bacteria
in your mouth -- Streptococcus
mutans -- can transform mercury into methyl mercury which
is 100 times more toxic than metallic mercury.
Don't listen to or believe what he says (that mercury
is safe) because he is parroting back ADA propaganda.
The ADA has published and distributed guidelines for
all dentists to use when answering questions regarding amalgams.
Your dentist lives under the very real threat of having
his license revoked for speaking negatively about amalgams.
Thus it is necessary that you read this book and discover
for yourself the incredible potential that amalgam has for
destruction.
What is Mercury Toxicity?
Dr. Huggins poses some
questions that you might ask:
"Am I mercury toxic? Can you test my mercury levels? Just what is mercury toxicity anyway? These are common and confusing questions. Mercury attacks many systems in the body.
If is attacked just one, like the polio virus or measles
virus do, it would be quite easy to identify. The diagnosis of mercury toxicity is based
on both the number of changes and the degree of these changes. White blood cells usually increase as a response
to the introduction of amalgam.
If these cells go up from 5000 count to 7000 count,
this is not especially noteable.
If the count goes from 5000 to 50,000, then we are
talking about leukemia. This is quite noteable. The white cell count bears much more weight
in diagnosis at 50,000 than 7,000.
Many measurable areas can be affected by mercury.
Excerpting from our 1989 edition of the Applications
Textbook, here are some of the mental gymnastics involved
in generating a diagnosis:
Consider:
White cells above 7500
or below 4500
Hematocrit above 50%
or below 40%
Lymphocytes above 2800
or below 1800
Serum total protein above
7.5 g% or below 6.4 g%
Serum triglycerides above
150 mg%
BUN above 18 or below
12 mg%
Hair Nickel above 1.5
ppm
Hair Mercury above 1.5
ppm or below 0.4 ppm
Hair Aluminum above 15
ppm
Hair Manganese below
0.3 ppm
Immune reactions to Aluminum,
Nickel, Mercury, Copper, and Gold
Oxyhemoglobin below 55%
saturation
Presence of root canal
treated teeth
Grouping of symptoms
Presence of both amalgam
and gold
Magnitude and polarity
of electrical current
T-subset and DNA analysis.
This is just a partial list of potentially
affected areas. Add
to this, the intensity and direction of each reaction and
it is obvious that diagnosis of mercury toxicity becomes a
professional judgement call. Since each of these reactions potentially affects
several others, it becomes increasingly more important to
rely upon professional judgement than a single test result." (Huggins, It's All in Your Head, Life
Sciences Press, 1989).
Make no mistake about
it, hundreds of thousands of Americans show such changes in
blood chemistry, mineral analysis and body function.
If you have amalgam fillings, you, too, are very likely
to exhibit such changes.
No one is immune.
The nation is in the
midst of a grave health crisis.
It is a pandemic of environmental diseases in which
mercury is intimately involved.
Regardless of what the dental and medical authorities
claim, mercury has been clearly linked, either directly or
indirectly with a great many of these diseases.
Volumes of material have
been written on the cytotoxic effects of mercury. Many studies have been conducted on the detremental
effects of mercury on human subjects. Literally thousands of anecdotal reports have been reported on the
horrible consequences of mercury toxicity in people. It is incomprehensible that organized medicine
and dentisry still refuse to acknowledge the voluminous research
findings that clearly implicate this toxic heavy metal in
the etiology of most of our diseases.
Take the time now to
complete the attached questionnaire.
It will reveal the true extent of mercury's potential
for destruction. This is important because mercury may have
given you heart problems in the form of heart attacks, chest
pain, tachycardia, murmurs, heart blockages, or other problems.
Mercury could very well be the reason you suffer from
high or low blood pressure.
It is very likely that mercury is the cause of unexplained
skin rashes, excessive itching, red flushes, rough skin and
acne. Mercury is the
culprit responsible for the horrible functional degeneration
seen in multiple sclerosis, and its spinal form -- amyotropic
lateral sclerosis or ALS).
It is also involved in shingles, numbness in any body
part, epilepsy or convulsions, twitching, and knee or leg
jerks especially at night.
But mercury also attacks the digestive system causing
diverticulitis, ulcers, Crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel
disorder, indigestion from most all causes, bloating, poor
appetite, diarrhea and constipation. It is involved in Graves disease, and other endocrine diseases including
hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and pancreatic dysfunction
including diabetes. Mercury
is involved in problems of the ovaries, testes, painful menstruation,
irregular menstruation, premature menopause, and tipped uterus.
It is a likely culprit in cervical erosion and PMS. Mercury is also involved in almost all problems
pertaining to the prostate gland in men. It's involvement in grey penis and lack of sensitivity in that organ
is legendary. In fact,
mercury may be the leading cause of impotence in men.
Mercury toxicity may
underlie the phenomenal weight problems Americans have. It may be responsible for being underweight
and/or being overweight.
It is invariably found in cases of chronically low
or subnormal temperature (hypothyroidism).
But mercury also causes
emotional problems often leading to the loss of friends and
relatives (i.e. divorces).
For example, mercury can bring about sudden bursts
of anger, massive depression, death wish mentation, suicide,
extreme irritability, and divorces. It and aluminum are invariably involved in
Alzheimers disease. It
is involved in rheumatoid and osteoid arthritis, bursitis,
tennis elbow, painful joints, Friedreich's ataxia, asthma,
osteomyelitis, psoriasis, sickle cell anemia, chronic anemia,
kidney stones, and virtually all allergies.
Are you ever bothered
by metallic tastes in your mouth, frequency headaches, noises
in your ears, ringing in your ears, chronic eye inflammations,
chronic fatigue? Are you quick to tire? Do you have swollen lymph nodes, hearing loss,
excessive sweating, cold hands and feet, motion sickness,
slow healing, skin fungus infections, Candida infections,
leg cramps, or dizziness? Do you have to get up at night to urinate, or experience frequent
urinations during the day?
Do you suffer from insomnia?
Are you tired on waking up, have trouble making decisions
(i.e. indecision constipation)? Are you guilty of perpetual procrastination?
Do you seem to have more than your fair share of sore
throats? Have you
had mono? Mercury
probably is responsible for mononucleosis and for false positives
in venereal disease tests.
It is always involved in leukemia, Hodgkin's disease,
and many other grave disorders.
Now are you ready to
believe that mercury may have affected your life? Hopefully, the above and the questionnaire below will awaken you
as to the danger you face and the danger that everyone in
your family faces.
Exactly What Does Mercury From Amalgams Do ?
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt,
speaking on the amalgam controversy states:
"From a scientific point of view there
is no more "controversy" about the ill health effects
of the metals contained in and released by the typical dental
amalgam fillings. The sheep and monkey studies conducted at the
University of Calgary, Canada -- under the guidance of Dr.
Murray Vimy DDS -- showed that radioactively labeled mercury
released from freshly and correctly placed amalgam fillings
(in a monkey study) appeared quickly in the kidneys, brain
and wall of the intestines. Through its affinity for sulfhydryl-groups
mercury bonds very firmly to structures in the nervous system.
Other studies showed that mercury is taken up in the
periphery by all nerve endings (i.e. the hypoglossal nerve
of the tongue, the autonomic nerves of the lungs or intestinal
wall and connective tissue) and rapidly transported inside
the axon of the nerves (axonal transport) to the spinal cord
and brainstem. On its way from the periphery to the brain, mercury immobilizes
the enzyme that is essential for "making" tubulin. Tubulin forms tubular structures within each
nerve, along which the nerve cell transports metabolic waste
from the nerve cell into the periphery and along which the
nutrients required by the nerve cell are transported from
the periphery to the cell. Once mercury has traveled up the axon, the nerve cell is impaired
in its ability to detoxify itself and in its ability to nurture
itself. The cell becomes toxic and dies -- or lives
in a state of chronic malnutrition.
The mercury that has entered the nerve cell can no
longer be excreted in the normal axonal transport routes (some
can exit the Ca++ and Na+ channels) and begins to exert its
more well-known ill-effects on the mitochondria, nucleus and
other organelles of the cell.
A multitude of illnesses, usually associated with neurological
symptoms, result." (Dietrich Klinghardt, Amalgam/Mercury
Detox as a Treatment for Chronic Viral, Bacterial, and Fungal
Illnesses, Paper presented at the Sept. 1996 Annual
Meeting of the International and American Academy of Clinical
Nutrition, San Diego, CA).
Besides being in considerable
trouble, what does all of this information mean?
It means you now have
an explanation for chronic illnesses of all sorts. In some patients this explains chronic viral illnesses. Some suffer from Epstein-Barr Virus infections
(chronic fatigue syndromes) for example. Others now know why they have suffered for years from herpes, shingles,
mouth ulcers, fungal illnesses, chronic sinusitis, tonsillitis,
bronchitis, bladder infections, prostate infections, or HIV-related
infections. The good
news is that most such patients experience dramatic recoveries
following an aggressive mercury / amalgam detoxification program.
Mercury and Nervous System Poisoning
Very quickly after entering
the body, mercury becomes tightly bound in the nervous system. Mercury can be found in the brain, spinal cord,
ganglia, autonomic ganglia, and peripheral motor neurons (running
to muscles). Because
it is so quickly absorbed by the nervous system very little
is left to be absorbed by other tissues including the connective
tissues. Thus, mercury
appears to have a high affinity for nervous tissue and as
a result it usually does not appear in the blood, hair, urine,
feces or waste waters (e.g. sweat).
For this reason trace mineral analysis of hair or blood
may not show any mercury levels and an erroneous conclusion
that "the patient does not appear to have mercury toxicity"
results. Simply stated: Mercury does not appear to enter certain "compartments."
Mercury in the nervous
system results in diverse phychological and neurological problems. All of these symptoms are discussed in a U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services publication entitled: The Toxicological Profile of Mercury.
Mercury and Immune System Repression
It has been known for
many years that mercury impairs the immune system. With impairment comes a chronically susceptible to infections, if
not chronic sickness. Mercury
detoxification programs almost invariably lead to immune system
enhancement.
Amalgam fillings typically
convey immunity to antibiotics.
This means that antibiotics may no longer be able to
kill or control certain bacteria when mercury is present.
This coupled with mercury-induced immune system impairment
can often lead to grave consequences when serious pathogenic
infections strike.
It is possible that mercury
is the only known substance with the ability to induce resistance
to antibiotics. In
the regard it is well known that gum diseases which are resistant
to antibiotics quickly reverse once the amalgams are removed.
Fungal infections are
also promoted by mercury poisoning and chronic mercury toxicity. Thus, it appears that susceptibility to bacterial
and fungal diseases are directly related to the degree of
mercury toxicity. This
raises an interesting hypothesis regarding just exactly why
these diseases appear to be chronically tolerated.
Klinghardt's Axiom
Dr. Klinghardt's axiom
says:
"Most -- if not
all -- chronic infectious diseases are not caused by a failure
of the immune system, but are a conscious adaptation of the
immune system to an otherwise lethal heavy metal environment."
That does this mean?
It means essentially that because mercury
"suffocates the the intracellular respiratory
mechanism and can cause cell death [that] the immune system
makes a deal; it cultivates fungi and bacteria that can bind
large amounts of toxic metals.
The gain: the cells can breath. The cost:
the system has to provide nutrition for the microorganisms
and has to deal with their metabolic products ("toxins"). That does not imply that the tolerated guest
cannot grow out of control, as it sometimes clearly does. Therefore, there is still a limited place for
antifungal / antibacterial treatment -- but only for the acute
phase of the disease. A
so-called "die-off effect" (the sometimes severe
crisis or even lethan reaction a patient can have in the initial
stages of aggressive pharmaceutical antifungal or antibacterial
treatment) is often nothing else but acute heavy metal toxicity
-- metals released from the cell walls of dying microorganisms
as suggested by my own correlation of clinical syndromes and
urinalysis for metals." (Dietrich
Klinghardt, Amalgam/Mercury Detox as a Treatment for Chronic Viral, Bacterial, and
Fungal Illnesses, Paper presented at the Sept. 1996
Annual Meeting of the International and American Academy of
Clinical Nutrition, San Diego, CA).
Is this axiom correct?
Dr. Klinghardt's results as well as my own results
suggest that this is correct because when patients are put
through a thorough mercury detox program, there is always
a dramatic improvement in the clinical picture for chronic
Candida infections.
Health Restoration Consultants
uses a mercury detox program described below.
One of the primary ingredients in this detox program
is chlorella. Chlorella has powerful mercury chelating actions
which are thought to be due to its cell wall. Something in the protein coat of the cracked cell wall binds the
mercury. Pretreatment
with chlorella before challenge with DMSA or DMPS (specific
mercury chelators) will increase the urinary excretion of
mercury anywhere from 300 to 1800 percent. Many mercury detox patients report improvements
in chronic viral illnesses such as Epstein-Barr, and herpes. Japanese researchers have found that Minamata
disease (a mercury disease caused by eating mercury contaminated
fish) was far more severe when the patient also had a chronic
viral disease. In fact, the prognosis for patients suffering
simultaneous Minamata disease and chronic viral disease is
poor.
Mercury Detoxification Program
All of the physiological
and neurological disorders associated with mercury toxicity
should be treated as if mercury poisoning and long-term mercury
toxicity had been confirmed.
To remove mercury not related to dental amalgams, the
program below can be started at any time.
In the case of dental
amalgam removal, detoxification should begin at least two
weeks before dental amalgam removal and continue for at least
3 months after the last amalgam is removed.
Usual length of time to eliminate mercury is 3 to 6
months.
The following treatment
regimen is an excellent method of reducing mercury toxicity
by eliminating mercury from the body.
The predominant process is that of chelation -- the
process whereby chelating substances (i.e. those that can
form "claw-like" bonding with heavy metals) are
taken orally and the chelated metals are then eliminated through
the kidneys.
Because this represents
an oral chelation program, it is important to understand that
3 to 6 months will be required to remove the mercury and that
the cost is considerably less than going through a standard
i.v. chelation therapy program.
A Higher Standard in Oral Chelation Therapy
Chelation is a natural
chemical process that goes on in your body all the time. Virtually all key metabolic functions are dependent
on chelation. For
example, iron in our diet is chelated to form hemoglobin,
the oxygen carrying molecules.
Cobalt is chelated to form cyanocobalamin or vitamin
B-12. Chelation is
a process that goes on in plants also. Magnesium is chelated to form chlorophyll in
plants. In fact, without
chelation there would be no life.
Chelation is a chemical
reaction usually involving the bonding of an organic, ring
compound with dissolved metals in your body.
Organic ring compounds include many organic acids like
citric acid (from citrus fruits), lactic acid (the sore muscle
culprit), acetic acid (plentiful in vinegar), and ascorbic
acid (vitamin C) among others. All of these natural acids (classified as weak
acids) have the ability to seize and/or "sequester"
metal atoms such as calcium, lead, iron and zinc.
Seizing or sequestering is easy to visualize once you
understand that "chelation" is derived from the
Greek root word "chele" which means "claw."
Chelation is a "claw-like" bonding between
an organic ring compound and a metal not unlike the way a
lobster claw might clamp down on some object. This bonding is relatively strong and often
permanent. Once chelated,
toxic metals can now be safely eliminated from the body, usually
in the urine.
Certain foods are natural
chelators. In fact,
foods provide the foundation for a profound and powerful approach
to restoring and enhancing health.
Many orthomolecular nutritionists and conscientious
health care practitioners believe that the natural chelators
found in certain foods and supplements are the key to a healthy
life.
The effectiveness of
foods and nutrients as chelators can be dramatically enhanced
by combining them in specific formulations.
Certain combinations of food chelators taken regularly
are more than capable of reversing atherosclerosis (hardening
of the arteries) and rejuvenating the cardiovascular system
through their natural ability to remove toxic heavy metals
from arteries, cells and organs.
This is not theoretical hype.
Many medical research studies report a complete clearing
of coronary arteries and other arteries throughout the body. In fact, the results have been so impressive that some countries
now routinely recommend such food programs for preventing
heart disease (e.g. National Health Board of Holland).
The oral chelation program
developed by Spirit of Healing is based upon a more powerful
and more effective formulation designed to be maximally effective
in removing toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, strontium,
thallium, and other dangerous heavy metals commonly found
in tissues. Removal
is necessary to prevent the catastrophic free radical damage
these toxic metals cause.
You might say that Health Restoration Consultants has
created a higher standard for oral chelation.
Though slower than intravenous
EDTA chelation therapy (which must be performed by a chelation
doctor), natural chelation (with food substances and supplements)
can be performed by you at home or at work.
When used regularly and in accordance with directions,
you will ultimately realize the same benefits that hundreds
of thousands of patients have realized from iv EDTA chelation
therapy.
While EDTA chelation
therapy will only remove one of the three forms of mercury,
it will remove most of the other toxic metals.
But EDTA will not cross the blood brain barrier.
DMPS will not cross the blood brain barrier either. DMSA, another chelator with a specific affinity
for mercury shows only limited ability to cross the blood
brain barrier.
Foods that exhibit specific
abilities to chelate mercury are capable of crossing the blood
brain barrier and thereby remove mercury from neurons. Chlorella pyreneidosa, an algae, has been shown to be capable
of mobilizing mercury bound up in nervous tissue. However, the predominant ability of Chlorella to bind (chelate)
mercury is exerted on non-neurologic structures and compartments
such as muscles, ligaments, skin, connective tissue and in
the bones.
Cilantro, or Chinese parsley,
can mobilize mercury and other toxic metals very quickly in
nervous tissue. If
the correct amounts of cilantro are given, the mercury contained
in the nervous tissue is removed and can be measured in the
urine, stools, or can be re-distributed to other tissues (e.g.
connective tissues) for later removal.
Mercury that enters the
body's mobile pool can be reabsorbed from the bowel contents
in the small intestine and colon.
Therefore to prevent this from happening, cilantro
must be used in excess on the days that DMPS or DMSA is given.
Bowel transit times must also be decreased to move
the feces out of the body as quickly as possible.
This can be accomplished by using large doses of Vitamin
C, magnesium and fiber laxatives.
Benefits of Chelation
Chelation, whether from
natural foods or synthetic amino acid chelators (i.e. EDTA),
can prevent coronary artery disease, strokes, protect against
heart attacks and restore impaired circulation.
But that's not all that chelation does.
Chelation reverses senility and Alzheimer's disease
thereby improving memory. Chelation reverses diabetic gangrene, and restores
impaired vision. Chelation
prevents the deposition of cholesterol in the liver, reduces
blood cholesterol, decreases high blood pressure, will correct
about half of all cardiac rhythm disorders (arrhythmias),
reduces heart irritability, removes calcium from arterial
plaques, helps dissolve kidney stones, reduces serum iron,
protects against iron overdosing and poisoning, and improves
heart function.
Chelation can heal necrotic
ulcers of the skin and improve vision in diabetics (diabetic
retinopathy). It decreases
macular degeneration and dissolves cataracts.
It corrects impotence through the restoration of normal
blood flow to the penis and through its ability to chelate
nickel, a toxic metal that often accumulates there.
It unplugs carotid artery plaque build up and can also
unplug renal arteries thereby reducing blood pressure.
But perhaps the most meaningful way to think about
all the benefits that chelation provides is to simply understand
that chelation therapy actually reverse the aging process.
Chelation therapy prevents
osteoarthritis, causes rheumatoid arthritis symptoms to disappear,
smooths skin wrinkles, cleans out metabolic wastes from the
mitochondria (energy factories) in all cells and thereby returns
cells to an earlier (i.e. younger) level of metabolic efficiency.
The feelings of wellness and euphoria that result are
profound. In fact, most people report feeling better
than they have ever felt in their lives.
It's not uncommon to
feel better after beginning an exercise program or while losing
weight. And indeed, compared to the way you felt before
you started exercising or losing weight, you do feel like
a "10" on the "1-10" scale.
But there are differing degrees of wellness. What most believe was a "10" after a successful diet,
turns out to be only a "1" on the "feel good"
scale once they experience the benefits of chelation.
In fact, people who have been chelated report that
their motivation changes, even including changes in their
system of values. They typically feel so good that they become
health conscious for the first time in their lives.
Becoming health conscious
is particularly notable for smokers.
For smokers the results can be profound. Now instead of smoking to feel better, they realize that smoking
provides the exact opposite.
The desire to stay off of cigarettes becomes exceedingly
strong. It is too bad that the medical establishment by and large refuses
to accept chelation therapy.
This is tragic since chelation therapy provides a proven,
speedy reversal of the health consequences of a 10, 20, or
30-year cigarette habit.
The following describes
certain herbal products that may be used in any mercury detoxification
program depending on the severity of the mercury toxicity. Information is provided on dose levels and
frequency of usage. Best
results can be obtained by using the Oral Chelation Formulas
and supplementing with individual herbal products.
Chlorella --
green micro algae with open (cracked) cell walls. The cracking is usually accomplished in the freeze drying of these
algae and helps you digest this product.
Chlorella is beneficial
in the removal of mercury because of its ability to move mercury
out of connective tissue so that all chelating agents including
DMSA (by prescription only), ginko biloba or garlic for example
can remove it from the body.
To supplement the Chlorella
present in the Oral Chelation Formula I and II, take 1 200
mg Chlorella tablet daily for the first 2 weeks after amalgam
removal. Then increase to 3 200 mg tablets daily (i.e. 1 at each meal) and finally increase
to 3 200 mg tablets
taken 3 times daily (i.e. 3 at each meal).
Maintain that dose level for at least 45 days.
Studies have shown that
preparing a subject with Chlorella before EDTA chelation therapy
will increase the amount of mercury removed by EDTA by a minimum
of 300 percent!
Chlorella may cause diarrhea
as the dose level is increased.
This will usually disappear as your body becomes used
to this supplement.
Reduced L-Glutathione -- Recent research indicates that reduced L-Glutathione
is an exceptionally powerful detoxifying substance that is
critically important in liver detoxification reactions.
Reduced glutathione is
vital to a broad range of cellular functions including antioxidation,
detoxication, and the maintenance of the reduced biochemical
state found in healthy cells.
It also plays an essential role in protein structure
formation, DNA synthesis and repair, immune function, and
the regulation of cellular proliferation.
Glutathione exists in
both a reduced and oxidized state, but it is the reduced state
in which all of the vital biological functions of glutathione
are carried out. In normal, healthy cells, oxidized glutathione
is quickly recycled back to the reduced state. The optimal ratio of intracellular glutathione
ranges from 100:1 to 400:1 in favor of the reduced state.
Research has shown that
oxidative stress, exposure to toxins and toxic heavy metals
such as mercury can result in the inability to recycle enough
reduced glutathione to meet basic cellular needs.
Decreased intracellular levels of reduced glutathione
are associated with a number of chronic degenerative diseases.
Recancostat® contains reduced glutathione
in combination with anthocyans.
Anthocyans are members of the bioflavonoid family and
possess significant antioxidant characteristics.
Studies have shown that specific anthocyans possess
a unique ability to regenerate reduced glutathione from oxidized
glutathione even in the presence of oxidizing agents (e.g.
mercury), free radicals (created by free radical generators
like mercury) and toxic compounds.
In cases of severe mercury toxicity take 2 Recancostat® capsules
between meals 3 times daily.
Before bed open one Recancostat capsule and dissolve
contents under the tongue.
In less severe mercury toxicity cases take 1 Recancostat® capsule
between meals 3 times daily dissolving the contents of the
last one under the tongue.
Mercury toxicity requires
other agents besides reduced glutathione.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine,
Vitamin E and Selenium are also necessary to protect
the body from the oxidative damages of mercury and to safely
remove the mercury from the body. For severe mercury toxicity
Take 2 capsules of IGA+ 2 times daily.
Silymarin -- milk thistle seed
has profound activity in the liver and can speed up liver
detoxification reactions while actually promoting increased
levels of biochemicals needed in the detox reactions.
If digestive problems are believed to accompany the mercury
toxicity, take 2 to 4 Hepatic Complex C42 capsules between
meals 3 times daily.
Otherwise, take 1 to 2 Lipotropic Complex capsules 2 to 3 times
daily with meals or as directed.
DHEA -- dihydroepiandosterone -- an adrenal
hormone precursor that helps improve stressed adrenal function.
Take 1 25-mg capsules
DHEA daily.
Selenium -- a powerful anti-oxidant with the ability
to assist in chelation. Selenium
is often thought of as a specific antidote to mercury.
Take 50 mcg 3 times daily
between meals. Selenium
is present in above products.
Acidophilus -- it is necessary to
restore the microflora in the intestines because mercury adversely
affects their levels and profiles.
Take 4-6 Enterogenic Capsules twice daily with a large glass
of water.
DMSA -- (2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid) -- an
effective prescription agent for binding heavy metals. Can cross the blood-brain barrier and help
remove heavy metals from neuronal and glial tisues.
On the day of amalgam
removal, take 3 100
mg capsules both in the morning prior to removal and on the
day after removal. Take 30 minutes before or after eating.
Once the amalgams have
been removed and after you have been on this supplement program
for 3 months, on one
occassion only, take 2 capsules (100 mg each) 3 times
daily for 3 days. (Source:
Daniel Royal, Health Hazard in Your Teeth - Alternative Medicine Digest: Issue
13, 1996, pp 42-43)
Cilantro Buy fresh organic cilantro. Wash and put approximately 1 cup in blender
with small amount of water.
Add 1/4 cup of sea salt and 2 tbs of cold pressed olive
oil. Blend until creamy.
Take 1 tablespoon 3 times
daily with meals. May
by used as a salad dressing.
Use more if mercury toxicity is profound enough to
cause depression, Alzheimers or brain fog.
Thioctic Acid Thioctic Acid of Lipoic Acid has been shown
to be a powerful toxic metal chelator with the ability to
bind mercury, lead and other hazardous metals such as beryllium,
thallium and thulium (a common contaminant in all Ester C
preparations.)
Iron Overload or Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis is
a "forgotten disease." It lurks inside many of us
and usually remains hidden from ourselves and from many of
our doctors.
Iron overload is an
enigmatic disease. It
presents its signs and symptoms in many different combinations
of more common diseases such as diabetes, liver disease, heart
disease, arthritis, impotence, chronic fatigue, amenorrhea
(i.e. excruciatingly painful menstrual periods), shortness
of breath, emphysema, cataracts, depression, hearing loss,
Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, strokes, inflamatory
bowel disease and other respiratory diseases.
How many of us suffer
from this disorder? The
most recent study suggests a ratio of 1 in 100.
Chelation therapy is of value in removing excess iron. Other than through chelation mechanisms, there
is no other natural way of getting rid of the excess iron
that the body accumulates.
A good treatment exists for hemochromatosis: regular
withdrawal of the high-iron blood. This draws the toxic metal out of the tissues
and prevents further damage.
Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is
a safe, effective and relatively inexpensive treatment that
restores blood flow in patients suffering from atherosclerosis.
Chelation therapy is used to reverse the symptoms of
hardening of the arteries, also known as atherosclerosis or
arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerotic plaque formation is caused
by multiple complex factors with the end result being plaque
formation which blocks the flow of blood.
Plaques are composed of fibrous tissue, oxidized cholesterol
(primarily oxidized LDL-cholesterol) and calcium with iron
and heavy metal involvement. Plaques lead to heart attacks, strokes, senility
and peripheral vascular diseases that often result in amputations
of the extremities.
Cardiovascular Disease is Big Business
Plaques in arteries
are big business for organized medicine.
In 1994 there were 373,000 open heart procedures in
the U.S. and 748,000 worldwide.
But bypass surgery is exceptionally dangerous with
upwards of 10% of patients dying as a result of the surgery.
But the problem doesn't stop there.
Bypass surgery represents the mechanical repair of
only a small portion of the arterial tree and to make matters
worse, it uses diseased "pipe" to make this repair. Total costs average about $45,000 and can be
as high as $60,000 or even more.
Balloon surgery, or
angioplasty, is far more popular and is practiced by greater
numbers of physicians. In
fact, the competition for patients between hospitals and cardiologists
has never been more intense or aggressive.
At the present time there are in excess of 1,800 independent
and hospital-based cardiac catheterization centers in the
U.S. The costs associated
with cardiac catheterization when performed by cardiologists
is in excess of $4,000. The
cost of angioplasty now averages close to $6,000 exclusive
of the $4,500 average hospital costs involved.
How Chelation Therapy Works
Chelation therapy is
a non-surgical therapy that utilizes a synthetic amino acid
called ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) to bind and
remove undesirable substances from the body including heavy
metals, iron, copper, zinc and calcium, most of which are
known components of arterial plaques.
In more than 1000 studies performed to date, and with
more than 4 million chelation treatments having been performed,
chelation therapy has been proven repeatedly to improve blood
flow throughout the entire vascular system.
Chelation therapy dramatically
improves health by correcting the major underlying cause of
arterial blockage. Damaging
oxygen free radicals are increased by the presence of metallic
elements including iron. These metals act as chronic irritants to blood
vessel walls and cell membranes.
EDTA removes these metallic irritants, allowing leaky
and damaged cell walls to heal.
Plaques smooth over and shrink, allowing more blood
to pass. Arterial
walls become softer and more pliable, allowing easier expansion. Hundreds of studies now show that EDTA chelation
therapy leads to blood flow increases in more than 85 percent
of all patients. And
if this weren't miracle enough, the cost for chelation therapy
is only a fraction of the cost of bypass surgery.
For example, if 20 to 40 four-hour chelation treatments
in a physicians officer were required for a given patient,
the total cost would run somewhere between $2,000 and $4,000!
So What's The Problem?
Here's the problem.
EDTA no longer enjoys patent protection.
EDTA is classified as an orphan drug.
In fact the original pharmacological developers of
EDTA (Abbot) believed the compound to be without significant
value and opted to let the patent expire. This means that EDTA can now be manufactured by any company free
of royalty because it is now considered in the public domain. It costs upwards of $300 million and decades
of study to receive FDA approval of pharmaceuticals today. Accordingly, pharmaceutical companies will
not undertake such expenditures of time and financial resources
to get FDA approval for drugs unless there is a strong probability
that they will realize a profitable return on their investment.
With drugs that enjoy the profits that patent protection
affords, paybacks are assured.
But with drug products that are already in the public
domain such paybacks are not possible and therefore are viewed
as "useless" therapies by the FDA, the AMA and all
of the major pharmaceutical manufacturers.
EDTA is not patentable.
Because of this, the FDA is behaving as if EDTA chelation
therapy is useless because it hasn't been validated by double-blind
clinical trials. Yet,
in reviewing more than 1000 published articles on EDTA chelation
therapy, the FDA admits that no untoward or toxic effects
have been reported when the drug is administered according
to accepted, safe protocol.
The current health
care delivery system effectively excludes the development
and utilization of alternative medical treatments even if
such treatments may help patients and have been proven to
be safe. The antiquated
and highly touted FDA approval process not only discourages
innovation, but discourages all but the largest pharmaceutical
companies from seeking FDA approval for a treatment.
This approach, currently under attack, works to exclude
the contributions of innovative practitioners, scientists
and smaller pharmaceutical companies that do not have the
financial resources to complete the costly FDA approval process.
This atrocious approval process is highly effective
in preventing low-cost treatments (e.g. EDTA, Vitamin E,
Vitamin C) from gaining access to the markets.
Insurance Company Reluctance to Pay
The FDA does not regulate
the practice of medicine but limits the marketing and advertising
claims for drugs. The
FDA has approved marketing claims for the use of EDTA to treat
lead poisoning and several other conditions.
Treatment of atherosclerosis is not yet an allowable
claim for inclusion in the marketing literature of EDTA. Because
of this, insurance companies have refused to pay for EDTA
chelation therapy. The
question this automatically raises is "Why?"
Most medical insurance
companies, including Medicare, have been financially depleted
by paying for so many expensive surgeries.
Segments of the health care industry which profit greatly
from surgical procedures are politically powerful.
Physicians who review claims for medical insurance
companies often favor the extremely expensive and risky procedures,
such as bypass surgery, while refusing to pay for equally
beneficial or more beneficial and far less expensive and
immeasurably safer chelation therapy. While insurance policies do not specifically exclude chelation
therapy in their policies, patients have often had to resort
to the courts in order to collect their insurance benefits.
If the fear of censure could be removed along with
the fear of FDA raids, many health insurance companies would
reimburse patients for less-expensive approaches to health
care including chelation therapy.
The Underlying Threat
Here is the real kicker.
If you could eliminate cardiovascular diseases, you
would effectively eliminate virtually 85 percent of all diseases
suffered by mankind. EDTA
has the potential to restore the cardiovascular system to
near perfect health. This
by inference then means that EDTA has the potential to eliminate
most all of the diseases suffered by man worldwide.
If a therapy this effective were granted full approval
by the FDA, the result would be massive wholesale improvement
in the health of millions of Americans. The number of patients needing to be hospitalized
would dramatically decrease.
Insurance premiums would plunge precipitously and
health care costs would return to manageable levels.
But the medical establishment is not about to let this
happen.
The medical industry
is currently in excess of a $1 trillion industry, up from
$900 billion in 1993. Any
treatment that would eliminate cardiovascular and circulatory
diseases would significantly impact the medical profession.
If EDTA chelation therapy effectively eliminated all
cardiovascular and circulatory diseases, this form of therapy
would potentially impact the industry to the tune of about

CARBOHYDRATE ADDICTION
The Basic Problem
The basic underlying physiological
dysfunction that characterizes carbohydrate addiction is an
insulin imbalance. Rapid
weight gain and obesity are related to abnormal levels of
neuro-regulators like serotonin and abnormal levels of hormones
such as insulin. Carbohydrate
addicted subjects exhibit an abnormal early insulin response
to food intake that can lead to obesity, impulsive eating,
subconscious hunger, dissatisfaction hunger, specific cravings
and abnormally strong general hunger.
These abnormal hunger states are associated with changes
in insulin sensitivity and responsiveness which can also lead
to dieseases of the cardiovascular system, especially the
coronary arteries.
What Normally Happens When Carbohydrates are Consumed?
Carbohydrates are essentially sugars and starches.
Some are called simple sugars (e.g. cane or beet sugar,
also known as sucrose and corn syrup which contains the common
sugar fructose). These
types of simple sugars are found in fruits, fruit juices,
table sugars and honey. Complex
carbohydrates are also referred to as starches.
Starches are most commonly found in breads, cereals,
vegetables, rice, pasta, peas and beans.
Digestion breaks carbohydrates down into glucose
which is absorbed from the small intestine into the bloodstream
and distributed to the muscle cells for fuel and to the liver
and fat cells for storage.
Glucose is the body's fuel. It provides energy to run the millions upon
millions of cells that make up your body.
The pancreas plays a role in controlling
this fuel. When carbohydrates
are eaten, blood sugar (glucose) begins to rise. When the pancreas detects the rise in blood
sugar, it responds by releasing insulin into the bloodstream. This insulin goes throughout the entire body
and binds with receptor sites on the membranes of the cells
and thereby increases their ability to absorb glucose from
the blood stream. In other words, insulin is the "key" to
unlock the door to the cell so that glucose can get in.
Insulin "unlocks" and "opens"
the doors to muscle cells so your muscles can work. It also unlocks and opens the doors to fat
cells as well. In
this way, by unlocking and opening all these millions of doors,
the body's cells can effectively lower the glucose levels
in the bloodstream. Some
of the absorbed glucose provides immediate energy, some of
it is stored in the form of glycogen and triglycerides (fats)
for later production of energy.
But insulin also acts on the brain. There it tells your brain to stop eating.
Insulin does this through some complex mechanisms that
involve neuro-regulators such as norepinephrine, serotonin
and mesolimbic dopamine.
In simple English, this means that insulin alerts the brain to release serotonin
after each meal.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that tells you you're
no longer hungry. It
also is the neurotransmitter that makes you feel sleepy after
eating high levels of carbohydrates.
Under normal circumstances, the pancreas
releases just enough insulin to allow the cells to receive
the right amount of glucose for immediate and intermediate
energy needs and helps convert the excess glucose into glycogen
(the animal equivalent to starch) and triglycerides (animal
fat) for use at a later time. All of this happens at a time when insulin has also told the brain
that you are full.
In normal people and in carbohydrate
addicts, there is no difference in the body's ability to release
insulin. The body releases insulin in two phases, the
first of which is called the preload phase.
The preload phase begins within minutes of eating carbohydrates. The second phase of insulin release begins
about 75 to 90 minutes after eating.
Preload Phase Insulin
Release
Within minutes of eating carbohydrates, the
pancreas releases a fixed amount of insulin regardless of
how much carbohydrate has been eaten.
The amount of insulin released at this time by the
pancreas is determined by the amount of carbohydrates eaten
in earlier meals. It's
like the pancreas has a memory of its own. So it doesn't matter whether you have only
just eaten one slice of cake or 5 slices of cake, the preload
phase release of insulin will be a set amount that was influenced
by what your carbohydrate pattern had been, not by what you
have just eaten.
Second Phase Insulin
Release
About 75 to 90 minutes after eating carbohydrates
the pancreas releases another round of insulin into the bloodstream
depending on how much carbohydrate you actually ate.. The body is able to determine whether the amount
of insulin released in the preload phase is sufficient to
handle the carbohydrates you ingested.
This
phase simply adjusts your insulin production and release in
response to the total volume of carbohydrates eaten at that
particular meal. If you indeed ate 5 slices of chocolate cake,
then your body will probably have to release more insulin
to take care of this increased carbohydrate load.
What Happens in the Carbohydrate Addict?
In the carbohydrate addict these mechanisms
fail to operate properly.
A number of studies reveal that serum levels of insulin
are higher in overweight people than normal individuals.
These overweight
people are therefore said to exhibit hyperinsulinemia (sustained
high levels of insulin in the blood).
Sustained, high levels of insulin in
the blood have several important consequences.
High levels of insulin somehow decrease the number of insulin receptor
sites on muscle and fat cells.
High levels of insulin also decrease the sensitivity
of these insulin receptor sites to insulin.
Think of it as having fewer locks that the key (insulin)
has to open and that these locks somehow get frozen, corroded
or gummed up so they don't work as easily.
This is called insulin resistance
-- fewer responsive sites; diminished responses to insulin.
This means that when we eat too much
carbohydrates we cause our pancreas to produce too much insulin
which remains in our bloodstream for too long and we begin
to exhibit hyperinsulinemia. Then, as a result of hyperinsulinemia, our
cells become more insulin resistant meaning that less insulin
is able to enter the cells and unlock the glucose entry doors.
The longer the insulin remains high, the greater becomes
the decrease in the number of insulin receptor sites.
Insulin stimulates fat synthesis, which
means then that if your blood levels of insulin remain high,
this insulin actually causes more fat to be synthesized (made). Indeed, animals repeatedly injected with insulin become obese.
And in humans repeated studies have shown that hyperinsulinemia
can be genetically linked and leads to obesity and that high
insulin levels are routinely found in obese people and that
these levels show abnormally high levels after glucose intake.
The reduced sensitivity to insulin
is not just a phenomenon that occurs in our bodies (i.e. arms,
legs and bellies). Certain
brain cells that regulate our eating
loose their sensitivity to insulin and fail to respond properly
also. Thus, the brain
exhibits insulin resistance also as a function of hyperinsulinemia. As a result the carbohydrate addict continues to eat because
the brain has lost its satiety thermostat (due to insulin
resistance) and the sensation of being satisfied is never
delivered.
When this happens the result is a relatively
continuous feeling of hunger usually accompanied by intense
cravings for carbohydrates.
This combination is the result of control mechanisms
that have gone haywire.
When the control mechanisms go haywire,
a positive feedback loop of sorts is established which results
first in too much insulin circulating in the bloodstream which
creates intense hunger, usually characterized as intense cravings
for carbohydrates. The body attempts to satisfy this state of
intense craving by eating more carbohydrates (bread, chocolate,
sugar loaded foods, candy, pasta, fruits, potatoes, beans,
etc.) which leads the body to produce and release even more
insulin in the preload and second, adjustment phases.
This then makes the hyperinsulinemia worse and this
then contributes to increased weight gain and continued, increased
carbohydrate hunger.
Remember, the preload phase of insulin release
is determined by the amount of carbohydrates eaten at previous
meals. Thus, the more this vicious cycle operates,
the greater the carbohydrate ingestion becomes and the greater
becomes the preload phase release of insulin.
Research studies clearly demonstrate that obese people
release significantly more insulin during the preload phase
than non-obese, normal weight people.
Mount Sinai Medical Center Studies
The experience of hunger and weight
gain were studied in carbohydrate addicts and nonaddicted
subjects when both groups were instructed to eat comparable
foods during two, month-long studies.
During one half of the study, the carbohydrates were
distributed equally across breakfast, lunch and supper meals.
In the other half of the study, the carbohydrates were
confined and consumed in one meal daily. Here's what happened:
Hunger and weight change were measured
in both groups. Both
groups were affected but carbohydrate addicts got hungrier
and gained more weight than did the nonaddicted subjects when
the carbohydrates were spread throughout the day.
In fact when the sugars and starches were
spread throughout the day, the carbohydrate addicts showed
more intense hunger and greater weight gain than the nonaddicts
did. When carbohydrates were available at only one meal, the carbohydrate
addicts reported greatly reduced hunger and significantly
greater weight loss.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you are a carbohydrate addict, you need
to limit your carbohydrate intake to one meal per day because:
(1) This will lower your insulin production/release
and create an increase in insulin receptor sites which will
then lead to an increase in the rate at which insulin is taken
up by the cells of the body and thereby removed from the blood.
(2) If you are a carbohydrate addict, by limiting
your carbohydrate intake to only one meal per day you will
reduce your cravings for carbohydrates and dramatically increase
your tendency for weight loss.
(3) If you are a carbohydrate addict, your carbohydrate
addiction may very likely lead to abnormal triglyceride and
cholesterol metabolism, and
(4) If you are a carbohydrate addict your chances
of having or developing severe coronary artery and other vascular
diseases are much greater because carbohydrate addiction affects
triglyceride production and LDL cholesterol levels.
Addiction Triggers
A number of factors can cause or intensify
the desire to eat. A
wide variety of emotional factors such as anger, anxiety,
a feeling of being out of control, depression, excitement,
profound frustration, guilt and self-blame to name a few.
But there are other factors as well.
Relatively benign changes in home life or working conditions
can cause changes in eating habits leading to carbohydrate
addiction. Exercise,
illnesses, pregnancies, premenstrual changes, smoking and
quitting smoking and stress of any kind can all affect carbohydrate
consumption.
Dieting can also trigger carbohydrate
addiction. This is
especially common in people that subject themselves to extreme
dieting or fasting.
Of
course, high carbohydrate foods can trigger the addiction
process. The best trigger foods are bread and grain
products including bagels, rolls, donuts, cookies, crackers,
cereals (both man-made and natural), cakes, and pastries of
all types.
But foods we usually think of as very
healthy are equally potent triggers.
Fruits of all kinds including the dried varieties and
their juices are potent triggers.
Snack foods such as popcorn, potato chips, pretzels,
cheese puffs, and candies are potent triggers.
