1. Get Healthy Be happy

2. What if there was one thing that addressed ALL of the following? Fatigue Heart Disease Chronic Pain PMS Headache Allergies Frequent Colds Digestive Problems…and much more

3. Actually there is But first, it is important to understand where some of these health problems come from The Eskimos in Northern Canada experienced a sudden decline in health within a single generation; and this gives us a clue.

4. Eskimos changed from a traditional diet to a Western diet: The incidence of cardiovascular disease quadrupled in men over 40 Women developed breast cancer—unheard of when they ate their traditional diet Adolescents began to get acne

5. Polynesians Polynesians living in Pukapuka have no contact with the West Those lining in Raratonga have some contact with the West Those living in New Zealand have completely adopted the Western diet

6. Westernization = Chronic Disease

7. The Diet we Take for Granted Causes Health Problems The average American eats 180 pounds of refined sugar each year. Also, Americans get fully 50% of their calories from refined carbohydrates. Eating refined (white) sugar and flour causes the body to produce excess insulin. It creates a condition known as “insulin resistance”

8. Excess insulin causes health problems: Increased pain and inflammation Tendency to develop diabetes Metabolic syndrome (aka Syndrome X) Obesity Heart disease High blood pressure Fatigue Endocrine problems (including ovarian cysts and PMS

9. The Prevalence Of Insulin Resistance In Common Metabolic Disorders  84% - Type 2 diabetes  54% - high cholesterol  84% - high triglycerides  88% - decreased (HDL)  63% - hyperuricemia (uric acid: associated with gout)  58% - high blood pressure Diabetes October, 1998;47:1643-1649. The Bruneck Study

10. Fats and Oils Trans fats and the lack of omega-3 fatty acids in the diet causes health problems: Pain and inflammation PMS and other endocrine problems Heart disease and cancer Skin problems

11. Chemical Additives The average American consumes 10 pounds of chemical additives per year (this does not include pesticides, these are additives purposely added to the food). Chemical exposure may possibly be the cause of ADD, PMS, allergies, fatigue and even cancer.

12. Nutrient Depletion Because of our highly refined diet, depletion of nutrients from the soil and a high amount of chemical exposure, we tend to be deficient in a number of nutrients.

13. Need Nutrients? Vitamin B6 deficiency can cause you to react to MSG (Chinese restaurant syndrome). Deficiency of B12 can cause memory problems and even dementia in older people-- sometimes symptoms are so severe that it is mistaken for Alzeheimer's disease. Zinc deficiency can cause immune system problems, sugar cravings or skin problems. Magnesium deficiency can cause muscle spasms or heart arrythmias

14. Need Nutrients? Essential fatty acid deficiency can cause skin problems, muscle fatigue or tension headaches. Vitamin B complex deficiencies can cause fatigue or depression. Folic acid deficiency can cause depression, anemia and a low white cell count. Anemias that don't respond to iron supplementation may indicate a need of folic acid, B12, vitamin A, protein, copper or HCl Deficiencies in magnesium, calcium or essential fatty acids can be a source of menstrual cramps. Adequate selenium is necessary to effectively fight a viral infection.

15. Need Nutrients? Hay fever sufferers with itchy eyes are frequently deficient in vitamin A. Molybdenum deficiency may cause you to be sensitive to smoke and perfume. Deficiencies of folic acid or B12 can be a source of infertility. Vitamin A deficiency can cause vision, immune system or skin problems. People with many allergies are commonly deficient in trace minerals.

16. Look at Health in a New Way

17. Natural Health Care Don’t merely patch symptoms, but address the causes of disease and fix the body’s infrastructure: Replace depleted nutrients and eat in a way that promotes healing Reduce stress Get moving

18. LOTS OF GURUS; LOTS OF DIETS Don't Practice On Your Practice Seminar & Workshop. © Copyright 2008 Whole Health America, LLC. All Rights Reserved. Confusing—isn’t it? Carbs are bad—Ketosis is good Animal protein is bad for you Avoid fat Your blood type determines your ideal diet Count calories

19. FACTS EVEN THE GURUS CAN’T DISPUTE Avoid Refined Sugar Avoid Refined Starch Avoid Hydrogenated Oils Avoid Chemicals and Additives Chew Your Food Drink Water Eat Plenty of Fruits and Vegetables

20. Improve Your Results--Supplement It stands to reason that if you have not been getting enough nutrients in your diet that you should supplement. Multiple vitamin: Even the Journal of the American Medical Association recommends taking a multiple vitamin. Essential fatty acids: Most Americans are deficient in essential fatty acids. Taking them can improve the endocrine system, reduce inflammation, improve mental function and prevent a number of diseases.

21. You Wouldn’t Flush Money Down the Toilet? The difference in quality between different brands of supplements is often considerable. Some inexpensive supplements are so useless that you would do your body just as much good if you flushed them down the toilet.

22. Quality Matters Biotics Research makes its own supplements (you would be surprised at how many companies do not) and it has the most rigorous quality control standards in the industry.
