Weight Loss in America
and much, much more!

    I hope the following information will help you understand why we are becoming more and more over weight as a nation, why there are so many disorders that are perplexing to the medical community and what you can do about it.

    Did you know that the majority of the population is clinically malnourished and dehydrated? How? We have become a society of convenience-oriented people. Fast food, fast cars, faster technology, fast lifestyle, etc., and as a result approximately 50% of the population is overweight and 50% of those who are overweight are obese. Children ages 6 through 19 have become overweight at the disturbing rate of 15% that is nearly triple the percentage from 1980. Last year 63,100 gastric bypass surgeries were performed, up 34% from 2001.

    Sales of food products labeled "lite, fat-free, lean and better for you" are expanding, but so are the waistlines. Information resources show such weight-loss foods reached $5 billion in sales in 2001 and $30 Billion is spent each year to trim down with weight gain continuing at an alarming rate.

    An ideal weight loss program needs to be gentle, reduce excess fat stores, be high in fiber, low in fat, increase muscle and ensure that the amount of metabolic energy being used is greater than the amount of energy going in. This all needs to occur without loss of muscle mass.

    Once the ideal weight is reached, maintaining it requires that the energy required by the body and energy (food) intake are balanced.

    Lifestyle modification must be permanent to ensure permanent weight loss.

    People become over weight and sick because they don't understand the concept of what food is, their body couldn't remove its wastes and toxins, hormones became imbalanced, they don't drink enough clean water and they couldn't live a disciplined life.

    Not making the correct choices dictate health!

    To begin a really competent weight loss program one needs to address the fact that there are accumulated toxins in their body, they need to learn about the amount of misinformation they have been given, and re-educate themselves as to what is good for you and what is not.

    The real question here is; Is what you are putting in the body being transformed into nutrients or poisons?

    One of the reasons for all the confusion is the amount of misinformation we have been given as a society.

      Below is a list of some of that misinformation:
    • Soy and Canola oil are good for us
    • Take aspirin daily to prevent heart disease
    • Liquid foods and flavored drinks are acceptable
      substitutes for water
    • Do not eat butter
    • Avoid eggs
    • There is no difference between synthesized
      vitamins and those in real food.
    • Alcohol in moderation is good for us
    • Take calcium supplements to avoid osteoporosis
    • Red meat is bad for us and chicken is good for us
    • Healthy processed foods are just as good as fresh food
    • Disease is the result of microbial invasion
    • Routine movement is the same as aerobic exercise
    • Genetics are the controlling factor

    More of a concern at this point is why are people toxic today; Below are some of the causes of toxicity found in the body today and why.

      Everyday Toxins:
    • Auto exhaust
    • Lawn sprays, etc.
    • Household cleaning products
    • Municipal water
    • Industrial waste
    • Dry cleaning fluid (trichloroethylene)
    • Alcohol
    • Unexpressed anger (increases free radical production)
    • Tobacco (primary and secondary smoke)
    • Synthetic Mega-vitamins
    • Bad fats (transfatty acids)
    • Cell phones
    • X-ray
    • Self care products
    • Cosmetics
    • ++++++

    Our Beef and Chicken have pesticides, antibiotics and hormones. The fish we ingest have industrial chemical contaminants like polychlorinated biphenyls and methyl mercury and pesticides. Did you know that 50% of all the antibiotics used today are used by the Agricultural industry?

    Crop poisons are used annually at 2.5 billion pounds of pesticides applied to croplands, forests, lawns and fields as well as millions of tons of herbicides and fungicides.

      How do toxins enter your body?
    • Digestive Tract
    • Skin Penetration
    • Lungs
    • Emotions (creating free radicals)
      *******************************************************

      The body has only three options when it comes to
      dealing with toxic chemicals:
    • Bury them in body fat
    • Remove them (detoxing)
    • Deposit them in the tissues

    The long-term ingestion of low level poisons leads to that which is labeled as disease.

      Toxicity Indicators are:
    • Poor digestion
    • Depression
    • Fibromyalgia
    • Fatigue
    • Constipation
    • Food Cravings
    • Overweight
    • Skin Conditions
    • Dark circles/puffiness under eyes
    • Acid reflux
    • High blood pressure
    • Bad breath/body order
    • Difficulty losing/gaining weight
    • Bloating
    • Chemical sensitivities
    • Gas
    • High cholesterol
    • Poor sleep
    • Recurring headaches
    • Frequent illness
    • Food allergies
    • Fibromyalgia
    • Joint pain
    • Cellulite
    • Hypoglycemia
    • Fluid retention
    • Mental fog
    • PMS

    Of all the species on earth, we are the only ones that do the following to our food before we eat it:

    • Refine
    • Microwave
    • Freeze
    • Fry
    • Genetically alter
    • Irradiate

    Electrical Matrix of Food

    Everything we do to our food changes its subtle energies (electrical matrix) and how it interacts with our body

    The following all change the electrical matrix of our food: fertilizing, spraying, heating, washing with chemicals, irradiating, microwaving, preserving, coloring, flavoring, taking bits out of it and putting bits back into it, etc.

    Reality

    We do not live in an ideal society with plentiful fresh organic food, no pollution, no drugs, no stress, and time for exercise. If we did, our bodies could rely on its own detoxification capabilities.

    We need to be aware of the toxins in our lives and the effect they ultimately have on our bodies.

    When the body can't handle the toxic load and it starts to function in a sub-optimal manner, sub-optimal health results (asymptomatic and symptomatic).

    In a Perfect World

    • Whole organic and free range food enters the mouth
    • Food is thoroughly chewed
    • Food that are enzyme rich enter the upper part of the stomach
    • Ample endogenous stomach enzymes are available
    • Completely digested food enters the small and large intestines
      resulting in the proper balance of micro flora and absorption of nutrients
    • Bowel transit time is normal (24 hours)

    My hope is that you understand what might be the best approach to permanent weight loss.

      What people can expect after completing a Detoxification/Weight Loss program:

    • Increased energy
    • Decreased appetite
    • Prevention of illness
    • Weight reduction (if needed)
    • Improved digestion
    • Improved physical appearance
    • Clearer thinking
    • Improved elimination
    • Removal of food Additions/Allergies
    • More positive outlook on life
    • Improved sleep

    My Fibromyalgia patients that have done this program unanimously said that within 3 weeks their pain was gone and their energy levels were back to where they were before they became ill.

    I personally used this program because I had arthritis in my hands and was unable to shake hands without wincing from the pain, and some days I could not use them at all. I finished the protocol a week ago and not only is the pain gone but I have lost 17 pounds, my skin is clearer and firmer and my energy level is as high as it was when I was in my twenties; all my patients have commented on how good I look in general.
