What's Wrong With "Politically

Correct" Nutrition?

byDr. Heath Motley

Page 2: Nutritional Seminar

"Avoid saturated fats?" Saturated fats play many important roles in the body.

They provide integrity to the cell membrane, enhance the body's use of essential fatty acids, enhance the immune system, protect the liver and contribute to strong bones. Saturated fats do not cause heart disease. In fact, saturated fats are the preferred food for the heart.

(Guyton’s Physiology)

Page 3: Nutritional Seminar

"Limit cholesterol?" Dietary cholesterol contributes to the strength of the

intestinal wall and helps babies and children develop a healthy brain and nervous system. Foods that contain cholesterol also provide many other important nutrients. Only oxidized cholesterol, found in powdered milk and eggs, contributes to heart disease. Powdered milk is added to 1% and 2% milk.

"Use more polyunsaturated oils?"

Polyunsaturates in more than small amounts contribute to cancer, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, learning disabilities, intestinal problems and premature aging. Large amounts of polyunsaturated fats are new to the human diet, due to the modern use of commercial liquid

vegetable oils.

Are inversely associated with high uric acid levels and increases in heart disease.

Page 5: Nutritional Seminar

"Avoid red meat?" Red meat is a rich source of nutrients that protect the

heart and nervous system including vitamins B12 and B6, zinc, carnitine, Taurine, proline, phosphorus,

carnitine and Coenzyme Q10.

In fact animal food are the only known sources of B12 and vitamin D in the human diet.

Page 6: Nutritional Seminar

"Cut back on eggs?"

Eggs are nature's perfect food, providing excellent protein, the gamut of nutrients and important fatty acids that contribute to the health of the brain and nervous system. Americans had less heart disease when they ate more eggs. Egg substitutes cause rapid death in test

animals.

WESTONAPRICE.ORG

Page 7: Nutritional Seminar

"Eat lean meat and drink lowfat milk?" Lean meat and lowfat milk lack fat soluble vitamins

needed to assimilate protein and minerals in meat and milk. Consumption of low-fat foods can lead to depletion

of vitamin A and D reserves.

Page 8: Nutritional Seminar

"Limit fat consumption to 30% of calories?"

30% calories as fat is too low for most people, leading to low blood sugar and fatigue. Traditional diets contained 40% to 90% of calories as healthy fats, mostly of animal

origin.

Page 9: Nutritional Seminar

"Eat 6-11 servings of grains per day?" Most grain products are made from white flour, which is

devoid of nutrients. Additives in white flour can cause vitamin deficiencies. Whole grain products can cause mineral deficiencies and intestinal problems unless

properly prepared.

Page 10: Nutritional Seminar

Otherwise

"At least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day?"

Fruits and vegetables receive an average of 10 applications of pesticides, from seed to storage. Consumers should seek out organic produce. Quality

counts! Plus its all fructose which can

contribute to liver, blood sugar and weight

problems.

Fruits are good if your

HEALTHY!!!

Page 11: Nutritional Seminar

"Eat more soy foods?"

Modern soy foods block mineral absorption, inhibit protein digestion, depress thyroid function and contain potent carcinogens

•Depletes B12•High in Aluminum•Blocks thyroid function•Blocks protein digestion•Block Ca+, Magnesium, and Zinc•more.

Page 12: Nutritional Seminar

“Vegetarianism is Healthy?"

Vegetarianism does NOT protect

against cancer.

In fact, vegetarians are

particularly prone to cancers

Of the nervous system

And reproductive organs

Please remember true vitamins A, B12, D, CO-ENZYME Q10,and cholesterol-a potent antioxidant that protects against free radicals

Are only found in animal foods

Page 13: Nutritional Seminar

Humans do not have a vegetarian digestive system. Humans cannot digest fiber or cellulose. However, the bad bacteria in the human colon can certainly feed on fiber, eventually causing inflammatory bowel diseases. Paper is wonderful food for goats, but not for people, who have a carnivorous digestive system almost identical to carnivorous cats, dogs, wolves, tigers, lions, etc. The best foods for people are protein and fat.

Page 14: Nutritional Seminar

Does a vegetarian diet contributed to cancer? Certainly the evidence points to it. Read on....

Franceschi S, et.al; "Intake of macronutrients and risk of breast cancer"

Lancet 1996;347(9012):1351-6

This study was done in the Italian population which having a low awareness of diet and cancer issues. They found the risk of breast cancer decreased with increasing total fat intake whereas the risk increased with increasing intake of available carbohydrates.

Page 15: Nutritional Seminar

Vegetarians Have the Shortest Lifespan on Earth

The vegetarians of Southern India eat a low-calorie diet very high in carbohydrates and low in protein and fat. They have the shortest life span of any society on Earth, and their bodies have an extremely low muscle mass. They are weak and frail and the children clearly exhibit a failure to thrive. Their heart disease rate is double that of the meat eaters in Northern India. HL Abrams. Vegetarianism: An anthropological/nutritional evaluation. Journal of Applied Nutrition, 1980, 32:2:53-87.

Weston A. Price, D.D.S.

Page 19: Nutritional Seminar

Price traveled the world over in order to study isolated human groups, including sequestered villages in Switzerland, Gaelic communities in the Outer Hebrides, Eskimos and Indians of North America, Melanesian and Polynesian South Sea Islanders, African tribes, Australian Aborigines, New Zealand Maori and the Indians of South America. Wherever he went, Dr. Price found that beautiful straight teeth, freedom from decay, stalwart bodies, resistance to disease and fine characters were typical of primitives on their traditional diets, rich in essential food factors. And every group had a high intake of fat soluble vitamins.

Page 20: Nutritional Seminar

     

The photographs of Dr. Weston Price illustrate the difference in facial structure between those on their native diets and those whose parents had adopted the "civilized" diets of devitalized processed foods. The "primitive" Seminole girl (left) and Samoan boy (third from left) have wide, handsome faces with plenty of room for the dental arches. The "modernized" Seminole girl (second from left) and Samoan boy (right), born to parents who had abandoned their traditional diets, have narrowed faces, crowded teeth and a reduced immunity to disease.

Page 21: Nutritional Seminar

Remarkable Health

Dr. Price consistently found that healthy "primitives", whose diets contained adequate nutrients from animal protein and fat, had a cheerful, positive attitude to life. He noted that most prison and asylum inmates have facial deformities indicative of pre-natal nutritional deficiencies.

Page 22: Nutritional Seminar

Dr. Weston Price discovered that healthy tribal groups fed special foods to parents before conception and during pregnancy; and to children during their growing years. His analyses showed that these foods were exceptionally rich in the fat-soluble nutrients found only in animal fats such as butter and marine oils. The universal "primitive" tradition of feeding nutrient-rich foods to pregnant women and growing children puts western medical practices to shame.

Page 23: Nutritional Seminar

African Masai Dr. Weston A. Price, DDS visited the African Masai tribe

in 1935 because they were noted as having excellent health. The average male stood well over 6 feet tall (183 cm) with perfect teeth, strong bones and no intestinal diseases. The tall women gave birth easily to healthy robust babies. The Masai lived entirely off of their cattle. They herded cows, drank their blood and milk, and ate the meat with all of the fat. The Masai refused to eat grains or grass seeds claiming the grains and seeds were cow food, not suitable as food for humans. The amount of fiber in the diet of the Masai was zero, absolutely none. There is no fiber in the milk, blood, meat and fat eaten by the Masai. The Masai have proven that fiber is not a dietary requirement for perfect digestion and cancer free colon health.

Page 24: Nutritional Seminar
Page 25: Nutritional Seminar

Remarkable Health That the hunter-gatherer was healthy

there is no doubt. Weston Price noted an almost complete absence of tooth decay and dental deformities among native Americans who lived as their ancestors did. They had broad faces, straight teeth and fine physiques. This was true of the nomadic tribes living in the far northern territories of British Columbia and the Yukon, as well as the wary inhabitants of the Florida Everglades, who were finally coaxed into allowing him to take photographs. Skeletal remains of the Indians of Vancouver that Price studied were similar, showing a virtual absence of tooth decay, arthritis and any other kind of bone deformity. TB was nonexistent among Indians who ate as their ancestors had done, and the women gave birth with ease.

Page 26: Nutritional Seminar

What the research really shows is that both refined carbohydrates and vegetable oils cause imbalances in the blood and at the cellular level that lead to an increased tendency to form blood clots, leading to myocardial infarction. This kind of heart disease was virtually unknown in America in 1900. Today it has reached epidemic levels. Atherosclerosis, or the buildup of hardened plague in the artery walls, cannot be blamed on saturated fats or cholesterol. Very little of the material in this plaque is cholesterol, and a 1994 study appearing in the Lancet showed that almost three quarters of the fat in artery clogs is unsaturated. The "artery clogging" fats are not animal fats but vegetable oils.

But this isn't new information

Vilhjalmur Stefansson's book _Cancer Disease of Civilization_ 1960; Hill and Wang, New York, NY.

It points out that Stanislaw Tanchou "....gave the first formula forpredicting cancer risk. It was based on grain consumption and was found toaccurately calculate cancer rates in major European cities. The more grainconsumed, the greater the rate of cancer." Tanchou's paper was delivered tothe Paris Medical Society in 1843. He also postulated that cancer wouldlikewise never be found in hunter-gatherer populations. This began a searchamong the populations of hunter-gatherers known to missionary doctors andexplorers. This search continued until WWII when the last wild humans were"civilized" in the Arctic and Australia. No cases of cancer were ever foundwithin these populations, although after they adopted the diet ofcivilization, it became common.

Page 29: Nutritional Seminar

There are NO scientific studies that

demonstrate that eating a diet high in

fat or cholesterol will in any way

cause heart disease or heart attacks.

Page 30: Nutritional Seminar

Natural saturated fats don't cause heart disease or cancer and never did. It has all

been a big fat lie.

• Carbohydrates in the Diet Cause Cancer

• Whole Grains, Fruit and Sugar in the Diet Cause Cancer

• Bad Vegetable Fats in the Diet Cause Cancer

• Natural Vitamin D from Animal Fats Can Prevent Cancer

CholesterolMyths:

Separating fact from fiction

"At Framingham, we found that the people who ate the most saturated fat, the most cholesterol and the most calories weighed the least, were more physically active and had the lowest serum cholesterol levels." - William Castelli, M.D., Director of the Framingham Study. The Archives of

Internal Medicine, July 1992, Vol. 152, pages 1371-72

Cholesterol Biochemistry 101

• Cholesterol is vital to neurological function.

• EVERY cell membrane in our body is contains cholesterol, it make the cells waterproof.

• Cholesterol is the bodies repair substance.

• Cholesterol is the main organic molecule in the brain, constituting over ½ the dry weight of the cerebral cortex.

• When cholesterol levels get to low serotonin cannot work.

Page 35: Nutritional Seminar

Cholesterol is your best friend• It is vital for the function of the nervous system

and the integrity of the digestive tract.

• Steroid hormones that help the body deal with stress are made from cholesterol.

• Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone are made from cholesterol.

• Bile salts that the body uses to digest fats are made from cholesterol.

• Vitamin D, needed for thousands of biochemical processes, is made from cholesterol.

Page 36: Nutritional Seminar

Facts• Cholesterol is a potent antioxidant against free radicals in the blood, and a repair

substance that helps heals arterial damage, although arterial plaques themselves contain very little cholesterol.

• More than 60% of ALL heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels.

• Between 1910 to 1970 animal fat in the American diet DECLINED from 83% to 62%, and butter

consumption plummeted from eighteen pounds per person to four.

• During the same period dietary vegetable oils in the form of margarine, shortening and refined oils increased about 400% while the consumption of sugar and processed foods increased about 60%

• Uric Acid levels• Blood pressure• Triglycerides

All Drop on a Low-carb diet

Page 37: Nutritional Seminar

The current cholesterol theory is wrong

1. Low-cholesterol diets do not lower the incidence of heart disease. They actually increase it.

2. High-cholesterol diets do not increase the incidence of heart disease. In many studies they actually prevent heart disease.

3. Dietary cholesterol is not related to blood cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol Myths

Did you know that:

1) There has not been a single tightly-controlled clinical trial that has produced any reduction in CHD mortality that can honestly be attributed to saturated fat restriction or cholesterol-lowering.

2) Long-term follow-up studies have shown that those with the lowest cholesterol levels tend to live the shortest lives.

3) So-called heart-healthy Polyunsaturated vegetable oils have been linked to cancer and Heart disease.

Profit driven?

• Some 30 years ago, hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) was an affliction of middle-aged men with cholesterol over 300 plus other risk factors, such as smoking and obesity. Since then, the massive fear about this non-disease has been created largely by the drug companies. 

• By 1984 anyone (male or female) with cholesterol over 200 could receive the dreaded diagnosis and a prescription for pills. Then it was moved down to 180. Today, we’re down to recommended levels of less than 100 and drugs are prescribed to children as young as 10 years old.

Page 41: Nutritional Seminar

Low Cholesterol

Low cholesterol has been linked to:• Depression • Increased suicide rates• Alzheimer's • Parkinson's • Cancer – especially with cholesterol below 140

In the Japanese Lipid Intervention Trial (J-LIT), the highest death rate was observed among those who cholesterol levels were below 160 mg/dl.

Circulation Journal, Dec. 2002; 66(12):1087-1095

The PROSPER trial recorded the highest survival rates in boththe treatment and control groups among those with the highest LDL levels

Cholesterol lowering can also lead to:

•Blood sugar problems•Edema•Mineral deficiencies•Chronic inflammation•Difficulty in healing•Allergies•Asthma•Reduced libido•Infertility•Various reproductive problems

Page 42: Nutritional Seminar

Why the confusion?

• HDL’s and LDL’s are NOT Cholesterol.

• They are Lipoproteins.

• OXIDIZED Lipoproteins/cholesterol

is the Problem.

Carbs and CholesterolSouth Asians ate the most carbohydrate and had the lowest HDL cholesterol levels, while Chinese individuals ate the least carbohydrate and had the highest levels of the beneficial blood fat, Dr. Anwar T. Merchant of the Population Health Research Institute in Hamilton, Ontario and colleagues found.

Each additional 100 gram per day of carbohydrates was tied to a 0.15 mmol/L drop in HDL cholesterol. Triacylglycerol levels also rose in tandem with carbohydrate intake.

The researchers also found that consuming more sugar-sweetened soft drinks, juices and snacks was tied to a lower HDL level

More Definitive Tests

Total Cholesterol levels are well documented as being grossly inaccurate in predicting the risk of cardiovascular disease.

A state of the art preventative CV assessment would include cholesterol AND:

• Blood sugar/Insulin• Homocysteine• C-reactive protein• Fibrinogen• Lipoprotein A (LpA)

Your doctor should checkThese, NOT Cholesterol

Page 46: Nutritional Seminar

• Your blood sugar level is a far more powerful influence on your future heart attack risk than blood cholesterol could ever dream of being.

• The low-fat diet you are following to avoid coronary disease may in fact be setting you up for a deadly heart attack.

• The type of fat you eat is more important than the amount of fat you eat.

The Bad guys - Polyunsaturated Oils

• In animal studies, polyunsaturated oils shorten life span and increases the possibility of atherosclerosis, cancer and other diseases.

• Polyunsaturated oils increase the level of uric acid in the body, a sign of the destruction of protein. Uric acid is a heart disease risk factor.

• Many studies have shown that polyunsaturated oils cause cancer.

• Polyunsaturated oils given to young animals impairs growth.

• Increased tendency to form blood clots, and hence myocardial infarction.

• Excessive use of commercial oils interferes with the production of prostaglandins leading to an array of complaints ranging from autoimmune disease to PMS.

(Canola, vegetable and corn oil)

Page 48: Nutritional Seminar

The Demonized Saturated Fats

• Saturated fatty acids constitute over 50% of cell membranes, giving the necessary stiffness and rigidity so they may function properly

• They play a vital role in our bones. For calcium to be effectively incorporated into the skeletal structure, at least 50% of the dietary fats should be saturated.

• They lower Lp(a), a substance in the blood that indicates a proneness to heart disease.

• They protect the liver from alcohol and other toxins, such as Tylenol or aspirin.

• They enhance the immune system, thereby protecting us against infection and cancer.

• They are needed for the proper utilization of fatty acids. Elongated Omega-3’s fatty acids are better retained in the tissues when the diet is rich in saturated fats.

• Saturated 18-carbon stearic and 16-carbon palmitic acid are the preferred foods for the heart, which is why the muscle around the heart is highly saturated.

Page 49: Nutritional Seminar

Saturated Fats are Beneficial, Not Harmful• breast milk is 45-50% saturated fat.

• lauric and capric acids have antibacterial, antiviral and antiprotozoal properties

• Vitamins A and D, which are vital for proper growth and for protein and mineral assimilation, are found only in mostly saturated animal fats.

• Saturated fats are needed for the kidneys to work properly.

• The lung surfactants are composed of saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid). The lungs cannot work properly without adequate amounts of saturated fats.

• Saturated fats actually play many important roles in the body chemistry. Because they are needed in large amounts the body makes the saturated fats it needs out of carbohydrates when they are not supplied in sufficient amounts in the diet.

Dietary Cholesterol Produces Healthy Adrenal Hormones

A low-cholesterol diet disrupts the production of these essential hormones. The result is often called "adrenal burnout" with symptoms of constant fatigue that is unrelieved by rest or sleep. Other common symptoms may include a craving for sweets, low blood pressure and low blood sugar. Mental symptoms may include depression, irritability, negativity and an attitude of hopelessness. Adrenal burnout is also called adrenal hypo function, exhaustion or insufficiency. The energy system of the body is seriously disrupted. People with low adrenal hormone sufficiency may suffer from impaired digestion and may be prone to infections. Adrenal burnout is seen more often in women than men because women tend to conform more closely to the low-cholesterol diet, low-fat diet guidelines.

Dangers of Statin Drugs• Muscle pain and weakness – Heel pain and plantar fascitis (heel spurs) - very common

• Neuropathy - 1 yr on statins increases chances of nerve damage 15%, 2 yrs – 26%

• Heart Failure – for every point of decreased cholesterol, there is a 36% increase of death w/in 3 years.• Immune Depression – increasing cancer and infectious disease

• Cognitive impairment – Amnesia / Complete memory loss for periods of time. Has show up in many clinical trials.• Cancer – In every study with rodents to date, statins have caused cancer.

In CARE Trial - Breast cancer rates of those taking statins went up 1500 %.

In Heart Protection Study – non-melanoma skin cancer rates were increased. • Pancreatitis – possibility of acute pancreatitis in patients who develop abdominal pain w/in 1st three weeks, Doctors warn.• Depression – Numerous studies have linked low cholesterol with depression.

Why Statins are Your WORST Option

Now, statins do lower LDL (bad) cholesterol very well. The problem is they lower it too well, because cholesterol is still a necessary and natural chemical that your body needs.

Cholesterol:• Waterproofs your cell walls • Helps repair cells • Is vital for digesting fats, regulating hormone levels, and neurological

function

Despite cholesterol's infamous reputation, having too little of it in your body is as dangerous, if not more so, than too much. Therefore, the result of taking statin drugs can be numerous dangerous side effects, including:

• Muscle pain and weakness (most likely due to the depletion of Co-Q10) • Dizziness and cognitive impairment, • Depression • Pancreatitis • Increased cancer risk • Heart failure

Page 59: Nutritional Seminar

Google Statin Side Effects

Page 60: Nutritional Seminar

HEART FAILURE More bad news for Pfizer includes a doubling of

heart failure rates since statins were introduced (Circulation, February 6, 2006). A new study of older men and women shows that higher LDL-cholesterol levels are associated with decreasing mortality risk in women. For both men and women, the risk of fatal heart failure decreases with higher LDL-cholesterol levels (Journal of the American Geriatric Society, December 2005).

Page 68: Nutritional Seminar

GRAINS DRAINIf you want to slow your body down, age at a high rate,

make it heavy and gain weight, then a high-grain diet. Eat lots of wheat products like bread, buns, pasta, rice, etc.

• Grains set you up for more degenerative conditions.

• Many arthritic symptoms, tender and swollen joints alleviate once the patients are taken off grains and sugar.

• Flour and sugar will clog you up faster than anything.

• From an electrical standpoint, grains should be looked at as TOXIC.

Page 69: Nutritional Seminar

Any inflammatory or digestion problem will be aggravated by fiber.

• Fiber has zero nutritional value.

• Water absorbency causes fiber

to expand.

• Bulk means that fiber makes stools large and heavy

• Roughage means that fiber makes stools rough.

• Excessive fermentation causes

pain and suffering.

Page 70: Nutritional Seminar

Fiber and Heart Disease

Dietary fiber represents from 5% to 10% of the total content of consumed carbohydrates. Example, to get 30 g of recommended daily fiber in a natural form, you would need to consume 300 to 600 g of carbohydrates . But excessive carbohydrate consumption is the primary cause of diabetes, obesity, hypertension, elevated triglycerides, and hyperinsulinemia –the best researched and most obvious precursors of heart disease

Page 71: Nutritional Seminar

Dietary fiber is not required in order to have perfect intestinal regularity. Fiber actually encourages pathogenic bacteria in the colon and produces inflammatory bowel diseases. Fiber does not prevent or cure inflammatory bowel diseases but actually makes them worse. Studies of many other primitive societies have proven low-fiber diets prevent intestinal diseases and cancer as proven by Weston A. Price, DDS in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration and Arctic explorers Vilhjalmur Stefansson and Karsten Anderson during many years of living with the Eskimos.

Page 72: Nutritional Seminar

Arctic Eskimos

The Arctic Eskimos ate an all meat diet with zero fiber. Yet they had very healthy digestive systems with no cancer of any kind in the entire population.

Page 73: Nutritional Seminar

Nothing solid should go through you.

• Dietary Fiber Does Not Relieve Constipation

• Dietary Fiber Does Not Relieve Diarrhea

• Fiber and carbohydrates turn the colon into a hazardous waste dump.

Page 74: Nutritional Seminar

Japanese -have the longest lifespan today

• The highest life expectancy today

• There diet is as low fiber as it gets Aside from white rice, there main source of

carbohydrates, there diet is dominated by fish, seafood, white and read meats, tofu, and seaweed (0.5% fiber), which is used in salad and wraps.

• In Okinawa 62% of the average diet is based on pork

Page 75: Nutritional Seminar

Dietary Fiber Depletes Vitamin and Minerals From the Body

• Fiber absorbs vitamins and minerals and discharges them from the body. Fiber leaches calcium from the digestive tract and discharges it in the stool, when it is desperately needed to prevent osteoporosis, bone loss, hip fractures and degenerative disk disease.

• Do not take fiber supplements. Do not take psyllium seed husk which is very abrasive to the digestive system. Do not eat wheat bran or rice bran. Limit all whole grains, brown rice, fruit and dried beans as they are high in both fiber and complex carbohydrates, a double blow to the digestive system. Fiber increases the risk of osteoporosis.

Page 76: Nutritional Seminar

What does the average doctor say?

The average doctor will tell you that arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, asthma and other related autoimmune diseases have no known cause and cannot be healed. Many physicians will say your past diet did not cause your autoimmune disease, and a change in your diet does not help in the treatment. They may recommend a high-fiber diet which actually makes autoimmune diseases worse.

Page 77: Nutritional Seminar

High-fiber foods are also high-carbohydrate foods. Humans do not have the enzyme needed to digest fiber, but the bad pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria in the colon certainly do. Fiber will make your autoimmune disease worse, guaranteed. On the other hand, good intestinal bacteria thrive on dietary saturated and monounsaturated fats like those found in red meat. The bad, disease causing intestinal bacteria thrive on carbohydrates and fibers, as found in fruit, whole grains and legumes.

Page 78: Nutritional Seminar

Grains aren’t all bad

Grains, nuts, legumes and seeds are rich in enzymes, as well as other nutrients, but they also contain enzyme inhibitors. Unless deactivated, these enzyme inhibitors can put an even greater strain on the digestive system than cooked foods. Sprouting, soaking in warm acidic water, sour leavening, culturing and fermenting-all processes used in traditional societies-deactivate enzyme inhibitors, thus making nutrients in grains, nuts and seeds more readily available.

Page 79: Nutritional Seminar

The modern supermarket displays thousands of high-carbohydrate, high-fiber foods that occupy 80% of the floor space in the store. These foods are whole grain breads, bagels, cereals, pasta, rice, legumes, potatoes, chips, cookies, candy, fruit and fruit juices. The promoters of carbohydrates and fiber have caused the current epidemic of constipation, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel diseases, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

By 'sugar' I do not mean just the white, granulated stuff we serve from a bowl on the table. That is sucrose; the term 'sugar' applies also to glucose, fructose (fruit sugar), maltose (grain sugar), lactose (milk sugar) and honey (a mix of glucose, fructose, sucrose and dextrin).

Amino acids, not proteins The excessive carbohydrate diet in combination

with protein and fat deficiencies causes a condition known as "leaky gut syndrome""leaky gut syndrome" where vegetable protein molecules from grains, corn, soy and legumes pass through the intestinal barrier and enter the blood stream. Other food molecules and parts from dead bacteria can also leak through into the blood stream. The body's immune system sees these molecules as invaders and sets about to attack them. The immune system attacks the intestinal tract and other areas of the body which contain proteins similar to those found in the vegetable products.

that weight loss by diet plus dexfenfluramine causes significant increase in TT or FT in moderately obese men. Because weight loss (or diet) in obese men has been reported to increase depressed testosterone levels (21) , the

decrease in testosterone levels observed in this

Characteristics of Traditional Diets • The diets of healthy primitive and nonindustrialized peoples

contain no refined or denatured foods such as refined sugar or corn syrup; white flour; canned foods; pasteurized, homogenized, skim or low-fat milk; refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils; protein powders; artificial vitamins or toxic additives and colorings.

• All traditional cultures consume some sort of animal protein and fat from fish and other seafood; water and land fowl; land animals; eggs; milk and milk products; reptiles; and insects.

• Primitive diets contain at least four times the calcium and other minerals and TEN times the fat soluble vitamins from animal fats (vitamin A, vitamin D and the Price Factor) as the average American diet.

• In all traditional cultures, some animal products are eaten raw.

• Primitive and traditional diets have a high food-enzyme content from raw dairy products, raw meat and fish; raw honey; tropical fruits; cold-pressed oils; wine and unpasteurized beer; and naturally preserved, lacto-fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages, meats and condiments.

Page 105: Nutritional Seminar

Characteristics of Traditional Diets cont.

• Seeds, grains and nuts are soaked, sprouted, fermented or naturally leavened in order to neutralize naturally occurring antinutrients in these foods, such as phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors, tannins and complex carbohydrates.

• Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30% to 80% but only about 4% of calories come from polyunsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, pulses, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.

• Traditional diets contain nearly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids.

• All primitive diets contain some salt.

• Traditional cultures consume animal bones, usually in the form of gelatin-rich bone broths.

• Traditional cultures make provisions for the health of future generations by providing special nutrient-rich foods for parents-to-be, pregnant women and growing children; by proper spacing of children; and by teaching the principles of right diet to the young.

Page 106: Nutritional Seminar

Preferred Foods• Any type of animal meat (beef, lamb, chicken, pork) sausage-

w/o nitrates, use cold cuts only as a last resort.• All kinds of animal fats• Fish• Eggs (unlimited amounts)• Cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, plain yogurt (w/o sugar)• Salads, nearly any vegetables (with the exception of potatoes)• Alcoholic beverages (unsweetened, and in sensible amounts)• Nuts ( in moderate amounts)

Any food that contains virtually no carbohydrates can be eaten freely

Page 107: Nutritional Seminar

Restricted Foods

• All carbohydrate containing foods (breads, pasta, cereals, grains, potatoes, pastries, bagels)

• Sweet fruits• Sweetened foods of all kinds (yogurt, sodas,

desserts, candy)• Dried fruits• Fruit juiced (except Buko)

You could never chronically consume carbohydrates in nature. No even today.

America's most celebrated nutritionist, says her publisher*, Adelle Davis: '..eggs.. should never be restricted in the diets of persons with atherosclerosis.' 

Her chapter about 'cholesterol problems' instead suggests high-cholesterol liver [4 oz or 110 g/day].  It is now clear that fresh unoxidized cholesterol is not toxic but that oxidized cholesterol as in egg or milk powder is.  It is also clear that the B vitamins in liver lower homocysteine.  Recently, Veteran's Administration and Harvard prof., career-long heart researcher McCully published a chopped liver recipe: 1 lb (450 g) chicken livers, 1 boiled egg, 1 tblsp. butter, 1 onion, salt and pepper -fry lightly. 

Delicious and heart healthy!

Page 111: Nutritional Seminar

Avoiding liver or fresh eggs for their cholesterol is most often bad for your heart since they also provide protein, lecithin, choline and B vitamins.  Liver is low in fat and it happens to be the best source of heart-healthy folic acid (B9), B6, B12, choline and of most other B vitamins, while its betaine (trimethylglycine or TMG) may soon become a heart health food.  High cholesterol shrimp are in fact suggested as heart-healthy in AJCN; Nov. ’96 - but I'd avoid any trans-fat filled batter.

Confused About Fats?

Vegetarians and vegans have lower omega-3 fatty acid levels Magdalena S Rosell, Zouë Lloyd-Wright, Paul N Appleby, et al. Long-chain n–3

polyunsaturated fatty acids in plasma in British meat-eating, vegetarian, and vegan men. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2005; 82: 327-334

These nutrient-rich traditional fats have nourished healthy population groups for thousands of years:

•Butter •Beef and lamb tallow •Lard •Chicken, goose and duck fat •Coconut, palm and sesame oils •Cold pressed olive oil •Cold pressed flax oil •Marine oils

These new-fangled fats can cause cancer, heart disease,immune system dysfunction, sterility,learning disabilities, growth problems and osteoporosis:

•All hydrogenated oils •Soy, corn and safflower oils •Cottonseed oil •Canola oil •All fats heated to very high temperatures in processing and frying

Coronary Heart Disease: What the Experts Say

"In Framingham, Massachusetts, the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower people’s serum cholesterol. . . we found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, ate the most calories weighed the least and were the most physically active.“

William Castelli, MD, Director, The Framingham Study

"The diet-heart hypothesis has been repeatedly shown to be wrong, and yet, for complicated reasons of pride, profit and prejudice, the hypothesis continues to be exploited by scientists, fund-raising enterprises, food companies and even governmental agencies. The public is being deceived by the greatest health scam of the century."

The Nutritional Magic of MEAT• Red meat provides complete protein, including sulphur-

containing proteins like cysteine.

• Beef is a wonderful source of Taurine and Carnitine, needed for healthy eyes and a healthy heart.

• Beef also provides another key nutrient for the cardiovascular system—Coenzyme Q10.

• Best source of Creatine, Carnosine and all important B-vitamins

• Beef is an excellent source of minerals like Magnesium and Zinc

• Red meat is one of the best sources of Vitamin B12, which is vital to a healthy nervous system and healthy blood. Vegetarians are especially prone to vitamin B12 deficiency.

In our office, we look all three aspects of your health that can produce disease and dysfunction.

Our job is to find which of these is imbalanced and causing your disease and dysfunction.

Page 130: Nutritional Seminar

Structural Health Problems

- Spinal misalignments and pinched spinal nerves

- Spinal disc bulges & herniations- Craniosacral motion / TMJ- Arches- Muscle imbalance- Injury patterns

Page 131: Nutritional Seminar

Chemical Health Problems

- Adrenal, thyroid, pancreas, reproductive, and pituitary glands

- Malnutrition / diet / supplements- Toxins / free radicals - Digestion- Inflammation

Page 132: Nutritional Seminar

Emotional Health Problems

- Lack of exercise- Stress management- Dealing with past emotional

traumas- Positive / negative mental

attitude- Health goals

Page 133: Nutritional Seminar

Finding the cause of your health concerns.

To assist us in finding the cause of your health problems in these 3 areas, we use the following tools:

- History

- Posture

- Blood pressure

- Muscle testing

- Other diagnostic testing when needed (x-ray, blood work, etc.)

Page 134: Nutritional Seminar

Blood PressureOptimal blood pressure (BP) for an

adult is: 110 + ½ age / 70-80

BP should rise 10 points when you stand up = adrenal gland response

BP should drop 10 points when you lay down = kidney response

Page 135: Nutritional Seminar

Muscle Testing Functional Neurological Evaluation

Muscle testing is an immediate feedback tool that allows us to gain information about your body.

The muscle testing tool is a unique tool in health care and is large part of your exam and treatments.

Gives accurate information in present time.

Page 136: Nutritional Seminar

Muscle / Organ Relationship

Each muscle in the body is related to an organ because they share the same nerve supply.

So when we find a weak muscle, we need to find out if it is weak due to:

- Injury to muscle

- Organ dysfunction

- Pinched nerve

Page 137: Nutritional Seminar

Challenging joints, reflexes, nutrients

We can use muscle testing to assess the need for therapy to a joint, reflex, acupuncture point, etc.

We can use muscle testing to determine if you need certain vitamins or to test foods for food allergies.

Page 138: Nutritional Seminar

Modifiable factors for healing

Things you can do to speed your healing:

- Control inflammation- Reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates- Water- Food combining- Food allergies- Detoxify- Exercise- Stress management

Page 139: Nutritional Seminar

Controlling inflammation

Inflammation can be one of the underlying causes of disease- heart disease- diabetes- Alzheimer’s- cancer

Control your inflammation with fish oil and avoiding- alcohol, hydrogenated oils & caffeine

Page 140: Nutritional Seminar

Sugar and refined carbohydrates

Sugar and refined carbohydrates cause inflammation, weight gain, hormone imbalances, digestive problems and weak ligaments.

Sugar intake is directly related to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, colds and the flu, and many other chronic diseases.

Page 141: Nutritional Seminar

Food Allergies

Dairy, wheat, soy and corn are the top two food allergies and should be avoided until they are tested via muscle testing.

Page 142: Nutritional Seminar

Detoxification

Signs of Toxicity:- Sinus problems

- Skin problems

- Painful joints

- Digestive problems

- Headaches

Detoxifying requires cleaning up the digestive tract, supporting liver function, and drawing toxins out.

Meat and cancer: meat as a component of a healthy diet.Biesalski HK.

Department of Biological Chemistry and Nutrition, University Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany. biesal~uni-hohenheim.de

Based on epidemiological studies it is assumed that meat, especially red meat, enhances risk for cancer, particularly of the colon, breast and prostate. Meat and meat products are important sources of protein, some micronutrients and fat. High fat intake has been blamed for correlation with different diseases, including cancer. Meat protein is reported to contribute to cancer formation. However, meat, including liver, is not only composed of fat and protein, it contains essential nutrients which appear exclusively in meat (vitamin A, vitamin B12) and micronutrients for which meat is the major source because of either high concentrations or better bioavailability (folate, selenium, zinc). In particular, vitamin A, folate and selenium are reported to be cancer-preventive, with respect to colon, breast and prostate cancer. Taken together, meat consists of a few, not clearly defined cancer-promoting and a lot of cancer-protecting factors. The latter can be optimized by a diet containing fruit and vegetables, which contain hundreds of more or less proven bioactive constituents, many of them showing antioxidative and anticarcinogenic effects in vitro.

LOW-FAT DIET INFLAMES FATTY LIVER

In a paper presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, Jeanne M. Clark, M.D., described her study in which she examined liver biopsies taken from 74 morbidly obese patients undergoing surgery for their obesity. Before the surgery, the patients filled in a 24-hour food recall questionnaire, which allowed the researchers to estimate the total calories, carbohydrates and fats in the patients' diets. Of the patients biopsied, 89 percent had fatty livers, 69 percent had inflammation and 41 percent had progressed to fibrosis. Clark found that compared to those patients with the lowest carbohydrate intake, those who ate a high carbohydrate diet had a seven-fold increased risk of liver inflammation. By some mechanism that is still a mystery, a high-fat diet seems to shield the fatty liver from damage.

Page 158: Nutritional Seminar

LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIET HAS POSITIVE EFFECT ON BLOOD LIPIDS

To investigate the effects of very low carbohydrate diets on the blood lipids and other markers of cardiovascular disease in women, investigators attempted to repeat work previously completed on male subjects, using female subjects. This balanced, randomized two-period crossover study looked at numerous serum markers in 10 healthy women who consumed both a low fat (<30%) and a very low carbohydrate (<10%) diet for four weeks each. Although modest increases were noted in LDL, favorable effects on cardiovascular disease risk status occurred by virtue of a relatively larger increase in HDL and a decrease in fasting and postprandial triglyceride levels.

Volek, J.S., Sharman, M.J., and Gomez A.L., et al., "An Isoenergetic Very Low Carbohydrate Diet Improves Serum HDL Cholesterol and Triacylglycerol Concentrations, the Total Cholesterol to HDL Cholesterol Ratio and Postprandial Lipemic Responses Compared with a Low Fat Diet in Normal Weight, Normolipidemic Women," The Journal of Nutrition, 133(9), 2003, pages 2756- 2761.

The vegetarian diet is severely deficient in protein.

It is very high in carbohydrates that produce the three heart disease causing hormones, insulin, cortisol and adrenaline.

The Omega-6 fatty acids that are predominant in whole grains, nuts, seeds, vegetable oils and beans produce the heart disease causing pro-inflammatory eicosanoids prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)). The vegetarian diet and running are a deadly combination.
