S.A.D Our “Normal” Diet

Aftermath of the Standard Americian Diet (S.A.D.): Enzyme Deficiency

Insufficient enzyme production is at the main cause of much “tummy trouble” in our nation. Digestive issues costs in The United States well over $50 BILLION  in both direct costs and absence from work. Including many over the counter  digestive aids, laxatives & colon care products.  Not to mention Doctor visits.

It is a  fact that 90 percent of the food Americans consume is processed foods. Diets consist of heavily  cooked, processed, salty and sugar filled, combined with overuse of prescription drugs such as antibiotics, deplete your body’s ability to make enzymes.

Enzymes may be relatively large, but their protein structures are fragile. The amino acids in the molecular chain link together to form certain patterns and shapes, which give enzymes their unique characteristics and functions. When something disrupts the chain’s structure, the enzyme becomes “un-natural”—it changes shape and loses its ability to perform.

Heating your food above 106 degrees F creates the  enzymes to became inactive.

This is one of the reasons it’s so important to EAT at least 80% of you foods RAW . Raw foods are enzyme-rich, and consuming them decreases your body’s burden to produce its own enzymes. The more food that you can eat raw, the better. Ideally, you should get 75 percent of your digestive enzymes from your food. Once angin do not drink liquids 15 min before, during or after your meals.

In addition to heat, enzymes are also very sensitive to shifts in pH, which is why different enzymes work in different parts of your digestive tract, based on the pH each enzyme needs in order to function.

Enzyme deficiency results in poor digestion and poor nutrient absorption. This creates a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, including:

  • Constipation
  • Bloating
  • Cramping
  • Flatulence and belching
  • Heartburn and acid reflux

Just to name a few unwanted conditions.  Chronic mal-absorption can lead to a variety of illnesses. Think about it—if your body doesn’t have the basic nutritional building blocks it needs, your health and ability to recover from illness will be at risk.  It is important that you assimilate the nutrients from the  food you eat.   Thus Colon Hydrotherapy is Important to detox and remove foods that did not support or serve your body.

Besides breaking down food, enzymes (particularly the proteases) can help with Colon healing, controlling pathogens, and immune support. Your immune system begins in your gut—and if you have enzyme and digestive issues, chances are your immune system isn’t functioning as well as it should be.  Read Dr Victoria Bowmann’s book You gotta have Guts!!   I offer her Reflorastation process.  Only takes 15 minutes.

Complicating matters, your capacity for enzyme production can decline with age.  HOWEVER I just attended a Birthday Party for a Centurian. Do you know what a Centurian is?  Anyone over 100 Years OLD!!  Bernando LaPallo who just celebrated his 110th Birthday!!  Such an honor to be with the “Healthiest Man”  I know!!  Read his book  AGE LESS, LIVE MORE

Detoxing The Body

I am frequently asked about many different  Detoxing modalities.  Which one is best?  How Long should I Detox?  What should I Detox?  There are several answers. 

First of all I suggest a free Detox consultation.  I want to know the reason for a Detox program.  Detoxing the body can be a long process depending on your needs & personal goals.  It can also be a easy daily routine.

Colon Hydrotherapy is one of the best ways to Detox and to help eliminate unwanted body waste and toxic build-up.  There are many products to choose from.  Most of the colon Detox products have Psyllium seed, husk or powder in them.  I choose NOT to use Psyllium products at all.  The main reason I say this is Most people Don’t drink enough water while taking Psyllium  I suggest 1/2 to 1 GALLON of water a day if taking Psyllium.  To properly Detox you Have to hydrate especially while taking a psyllium based product.  Psyllium sweeps the colon but does not necessarily have Detox qualities.

One easy Detox idea is to drink 1/2 fresh squeezed lemon in 6-8oz of warm water upon rising in the morning.  This will assist the liver to Detox gently.

Once you have decided what Detox program to begin be sure to make your appointment for Colon Hydrotherapy and Relflorastation treatment.

 

Colon Hydrotherapy and Candida

Colon Hydrotherapy is a great way to reduce & clear Candida from the colon.  You may wonder  WHAT IS CANDIDA?   First of all I want to say,  many people have Candida  in their gut.  Candida Albicans( Candidiasis ) is described as a fungal over-growth in the colon which can cause many health issues.  Candida use usually found in the colon, but has been found in the throat, esophagus, the sinuses  and even the belly button! Candida is deep rooted in our tissues & organs.

What causes Candida?  Oral contraceptives, refined carbohydrates, sugars and overuse of antibiotics. Poor diet S.A.D. Standard American Diet (junk foods sugar & starch)  Having Colon Hydrotherapy will help remove the toxic Candida, however there is more to do to totally remove Candida from the body.

What are the symptoms of Candida?  How would I know if I have Candida?

Stomach is sore most of the time     Constipation and or darrhea    Mouth ulcers  Athletes foot and or jock itch    Vaginal discharge and or “outbreaks”    Heart beats fast  Feel weak all over   Nervous more than usual    Ears itch   Had Bladder infections   Frequent urge to urinate   Use Hydro cortisone type items  Sensitive to cigarette fumes and chemical smells   Lost interest in  activities such as day to day responsabilites  decrease or loss of sexual desire   Crave Sugars  Alcohol  Beer Wine and Spirits  Breads Pastries    Issues thinking clearly or  concentrating   Chronic rashes & itchng   Have  skin or nail fungal   Bruise easily    Numbness or tingling Sick stomach and or nausea    Joints and muscles  ache most of the time   Headaches   Post nasal drip or nasal congestion   Cough more frequently            These are some of the symptoms.  If you are experiencing 10 or more of these symptoms you may have Candida and may wish to go on a Candida diet and have Colon Hydrotherapy sessions right away   YOU CAN DO A SELF TEST AT HOME to see if you actually have Candida.

Upon rising in the morning take a clear glass and fill with water.  Spit your saliva a few times in the water glass..Do not drink anything or brush your teeth ( until you spit )  Look at glass every 10-15 minutes for about an hour.  Your saliva should be gone.  If saliva has vanished  CONGRATULATIONS No Candida, however should you find cloudy saliva, thick mass of mucus-like stringy webs   and jellyfish looking particles or anything resting on the bottom of glass perhaps you have Candida.  Be sure to make your Colon Hydrotherapy   as soon as possible.  I will offer you health tips and a  proper diet to assist you to rid your body of Candida.

How Often Should I have Colon Hydrotherapy?

This depends on your current elimination, goals and state of health. If you are experiencing constipation (lack of or no bowel movement daily) you may want to consider Colon Hydrotherapy. I suggest that all clients do a series of at least 3 Colon Hydrotherapy sessions. This will consist of 2 days in a row & the 3rd session within a week. If you only receive 1 session it’s like going to the car wash & only getting your windows cleaned, a series of at least 3 sessions will help remove buildup toxin’s from the colon. Depending on your results from your Colon Hydrotherapy sessions and personal goals, will help determine how many other sessions you will require to obtain optimal health & balance.

Once you have reached your goal you will want to maintain your Colon Health by scheduling 3 Colon Hydrotherapy sessions every 4-6 months. This willl help remove toxin’s and keep you in optimial health & well being. Someone who experances chronic constipation ( no bowel movent for days ) will want to schedule several Colon Hydrotherapy sessions. There is not a simple answer for everyone, as we each have individual desires and goals. How often you desire Colon Hydrotherapy will be discussed with me as I offer free phone consultations, just call 480-239-2385

What’s the difference between Colon Hydrotherapy and Enema’s?

What’s the difference between Colon Hydrotherapy and Enema’s?

Colon hydrotherapy cleanse more of the colon, as an Enema will ONLY cleanse a small lower portion of the colon.

With an enema you have little to no control of the water pressure and amount of water administered into the colon.  Also thier could be a question of purity of the water.

Colon Hydrotherapy is safe and sanitary way to cleanse the colon. Filtered and Ultra Violet water is used to cleanse the colon.

With colon hydrotherapy there is no ordor or “having to hold” the water in the colon. It is a easy & comfortable process, the waste leaves the body and flows out into a sewer line ( just the same as flushing the toilet ) No clean up, fusss or mess.  By having Colon Hydrotherapy rather than an Enema you will detox more of the colon.

Why De-Toxing is So Important

Many people wonder why it is so important to detox the colon.  Can you imagine a garbage disposal full of waste and it just sits there getting fuller and fuller?  Just like your colon, you eat and expel food daily and can leave residue inside your colon, this begins to act like  compost creating gas, bloating &  forming a toxic coat to the colon.

Toxins can come in may forms such as outdoor pollutants in traffic, work environments where chemicals & solvents are used.  Having your hair and nails done can be a high area of toxins.

When toxins find their way into your colon they act like magnets and adhere to the colon, grabbing whatever comes their way and attaches to the colon walls, thus creating toxic buildup.  You wan to get the toxins  removed as soon as you can to prevent illness, lack of energy and the beginning of ill health. Getting a series of Colon Hydrotherapy sessions is a good way to De-Tox   your colon.

A few signs of toxic build up can be: Tired  Bloated  Gas  Weight Gain  Constipation  Aches and Pains in the Abdomen

OUR GOOD HEALTH DEPENDS ON A COLON FREE OF TOXINS AND COLON HYDROTHERAPY CAN DE-TOX YOUR COLON AND KEEP YOU ON THE ROAD TO OPTIMAL HEALTH.

Can I Just Take Laxatives?

Taking laxatives is just a band aide for colon issues. Laxatives will only remove some fecal matter from the colon, they tend to liquefy the stool, create cramping and leave old, hard impacted toxins in the colon.  Have you ever noticed in a store there is a whole isle for Colon Cleanse, Stool Softeners and other Colon aides?  Well that is because most people have colon issues and want a quick fit.  Which is why Colon products is the 2nd largest over the counter item sold without a prescription!! Colon care products are a multi-billion dollar business in the US today!!   Any wonder Colon Cancer is the #2 killer today.

Taking laxatives usually makes people dependent on them or they cannot have a bowel movement.  Being dependent on anything other than your own body to release & remove toxins can be unhealthy for you especially your colon.  Built up colon products like pysilum seed, husks or powders lead to blockage of the colon and may need to be removed surgically .

There can be side effects on the colon and your body if you are taking prescription drugs, some laxatives cannot be taken if you are on bone drugs as they block calcium absorption.  They also contain large amounts of sugars which will irritate the colon and add calories.  You may also experience rectal itching, stomach discomfort, bloating colon, gas and cramping.

If you  “HAVE TO”  take any type of laxative to have a bowel movement call now for your appointment  480 239 2385  Remember Your #2 Is Your #1 Priority  I Can Help

How Long Does it Take To Digest My Food?

Many clients wonder how long does it takes for my food to exit my colon?  After you eat you should eliminate your food in 18-24 hours.  If you digest too fast you are not absorbing nutrients. If  the food is passing thought the colon too quickly, you will not get the benefits of what you ate.  A few ways to know how do I know when I eliminated my meal.

1). Eat some corn (only if you are not allergic to corn) it will pass through the colon the same way as you ate it… whole.

2).  Take 4 or 5 Charcoal capsules with 8oz water ( write down the time you took them, preferably after a meal) , as the charcoal passes through the colon and exits your stool will be black like tar, note the time it took to see black tar-like stool. This will tell you how long the food has traveled through the colon.  If it takes longer than 24 hours you may want to make an appointment for Colon Hydrotherapy Session.

During a session I noticed corn as my client released, my client said no it can’t be corn.  Once again later in the session I saw more corn, I asked the client “Why do you say it can’t be corn”?  My client stated that she had an allergy test 6 months ago and found she was allergic to corn and has not eaten corn in the past 6 months!!!  She took 6 months for her to digest her food.
