Learn how to k eep our immune systems healthy naturally

Slide 4

Two Causes of Cells to Malfunction Exposure to toxins Lack of nutrients Together, they weaken the immune system. Never Be Sick Again Raymond Francis

Slide 5

Stress Emotional Physical (including extreme exercise) Exposure to toxins Poor diet Lack of rest Aging Sugar/Alcohol

Slide 6

1900 10 pounds (per capita/year) 1985 124 pounds/year 2000 160 pounds/year

Slide 7

Immune Dysfunction The anti-nutrient depletes vitamins and minerals essential for the immune system B vitamins, antioxidants, iron, and zinc Displaces natural nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables such as water or milk (with soft drinks - high fructose corn syrup) Slows white blood cells Feeds Candida yeast (80% of immune system in gut)

Slide 8

Damaging Affects on the Brain Creates blood sugar swings (resulting in fatigue, poor focus, poor attention span, irritability, and mood swings) Depletes essential nutrients for the brain (B vitamins, zinc)

Slide 9

Sugar Feeds Candida Yeast Candida produces toxins Symptoms of Candida Brain anxiety, depression, headache, irritability, mood swings, poor memory, poor mental focus, dizziness Digestive diarrhea, bloating, gas, irritable bowel, bad breath, heartburn, food allergies, constipation, belching, abdominal pain, mucous in stools, and cravings for sweets, bread and alcohol

Slide 10

Weakened Immune System frequent infections (especially ears, tonsils), sinus congestion, chronic cough, pain or tightness in chest, environmental sensitivities (mold), asthma-like symptoms Reproductive endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical dysplasia, PMS premenstrual syndrome, infertility, loss of libido, prostatitis, impotence, pelvic pain, vaginal discharge and itching Other acne, skin disorders, white coated tongue, athletes foot, canker sores, nail fungus, burning tongue, spots in front of eyes, rash or blisters in mouth, fatigue, joint pain, muscle weakness, blurred vision

Slide 11

Aggravates Inflammation Sugar causes the body to be more acidic (along with meat and dairy) Vegetables cause the body to be alkaline Inflammatory conditions include heart disease, arthritis, all itises, cancer, eczema, asthma, etc The more insulin produced... The more inflammation

Slide 12

High insulin levels cause cancer cells to grow. At least 4 or 5 types of cancer have been linked to high insulin levels (Steve Chaney PhD and cancer researcher) Dental decay Diabetes Excessive weight gain Osteoporosis (body pulls calcium from bones to make blood more alkaline)

Slide 13

Free Radical Damage Increased from high insulin Damage to Digestive Tract Reduces production of digestive enzymes Leads to allergies and immune issues

Slide 14

Refined carbohydrates including breads and baked goods, chips, crackers, and snacks all cause high insulin levels and blood sugar surges.

Slide 15

Obesity not a will power issue. Cravings are a metabolic imbalance that causes blood sugar to plummet Cinch Plan or Energizing Soy Protein B Complex Glucose Regulation Complex Vita Lea

Slide 16

Avoiding sugar and baked goods Diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, low fat protein Water/Hydration Exercise regularly Reduce toxic exposure Adequate rest 8 hrs/day (10 hrs/day kids) Nutritional supplements essential for the immune system
