As a start, please
note under our events section that the talk on “Greening Your
House—Detoxification for the home” will take place on Thursday,
September 11 at the Solomon’s Island office at 7PM. The Autumn
Detoxification Group will run from Tuesday, September 30 until Monday,
October 20. Supplements and directions will be on Thursday, September 25 at
7:00 PM also at the office. These are different dates than originally
published in the Newsletter last month and I apologize for any confusion.
This
month’s topic is taken from the April 2008 issue of the Harvard Health Letter, and it warms
my heart to report this! The title of the article is: “The Seven Common
Ailments which can be managed without medication.” It names the following
ailments in this category:
Arthritis,
Cholesterol, Cognitive Decline, Depression, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure,
and Osteoporosis. Let’s look at what Harvard had to say about each of
these:
1.
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis is
the deterioration of cartilage which cushions the joints and is the most
common form of arthritis among the elderly. The first and most important
thing to do is optimize you diet by eating right for your Metabolic Type.
Make sure you are getting optimal amounts of vitamin D (sunlight is still
the best way, but impossible in the northern part of the USA including
Maryland for 8 months of the year). Get adequate omega-3 fatty acids (Fish
oils for protein types and flax and other seed oils for carb types). Get
regular low-impact exercise (walking and light weights). Rheumatoid arthritis
is an auto-immune disease in which your body starts to destroy itself. The
joints may even become deformed. Eat right for your Metabolic Type, follow
an anti-inflammatory diet, and take the supplements recommended by a
qualified Nutritionist. Also, with RA, see if emotional causes are involved
and get help for that from a qualified Counselor.
2.
Cholesterol: There is no such
thing as “good” or “bad” cholesterol. Cholesterol is present because the
body makes it in order to combat inflammation. In other words, blocking it
will lead to all kinds of serious disease and even death. Blocking the
formation of cholesterol will throw off hormones in both males and females.
The best way to combat inflammation is with diet and dietary supplements.
Eliminate sugar and most grains which will reduce your insulin levels and
eventually naturally and healthfully reduce your cholesterol. Get regular
low-impact exercise and take your omega-3 supplements and other supplements
which target your problems and make your body function well. (By the way,
the latest reports of statin drugs like Lipitor reducing the chances of age
related cognitive decline such as dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease is
patently ridiculous and should be taken off the airways before people who
believe this are dying! In actuality, as Dr. Sherry Rogers has reported,
“Lipitor guarantees deterioration of mind, heart and body while triggering
cancer as it poisons cholesterol chemistry.”)
3.
Cognitive decline: There is an
epidemic of Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia. To prevent these two
age-related diseases, eat right for your Metabolic Type, take supplements
for your Type, and get tested for diagnosis and then detoxified by a
qualified Nutritionist. Avoid sugar, eat more vegetables, and get
antioxidants into your body however you can. Get all your mercury fillings
(amalgams or “silver fillings” removed by a Biological Dentist Check the
IAOMT for a list of dentists. Avoid all aluminum cookware and cans,
antiperspirants, and do not get flu vaccinations containing Thimerasol or
aluminum (they all do at this time).
4.
Depression: Antidepressant
drugs of any kind do nothing at all to treat the cause of depression!
Combine good high quality supplements with a proper diet for your Metabolic
Type, and do light exercise (see me for instructions on exercise), and get
tested for and treated for toxicity by a qualified Nutritionist. Get proper
counseling from a qualified person.
5.
Diabetes: Type II Diabetes
is completely preventable and almost always reversible with proper
dietary and lifestyle modifications! Include elimination of sugar,
regular exercise, eating only the proper fats, getting proper omega-3 fats
for your Metabolic Type, getting proper needed sleep, and lowering your
weight. The reason eating right for your Metabolic Type is so important is
that if you are a protein type you can swap out grains and sugar for
proteins, but if you are a carb type you need to switch them our for more
vegetable-only carbs. (Again, Metformin and all other drugs for diabetes
are not only unnecessary, but they cause so many problems that they are a
net health negative.)
6.
High Blood
Pressure:
HBP is a serious risk factor for heart disease. Possibly 90% of Americans
may eventually be affected by HBP. Limiting grains and sugars along with
regular light exercise will normalize blood pressure by lowering insulin
levels. (Beginning to sound like a broken record, huh?)
7.
Osteoporosis: Again, exercise
and diet are important. Vitamin D and K are also important. Increase
vegetable consumption according to your Metabolic Type. If you cannot eat
all the vegetables you need, buy a good juicer (Jack Lalane has a good one)
and juice very vegetable for your Type that you can. If this is
inconvenient, try the Nano-Greens that we sell in the office, and see the
Supplement of the Month with this issue. Do not count on milk for the
strength of your bones!! The only animal that drinks another animal’s
milk is the human being! And the only animal that drinks any milk at all
after weaning is the human being! Should we learn something from this? I
think so. Cows don’t drink milk after weaning, and they have strong bones.
They eat grass—we should eat vegetables, especially after being
Metabolically Typed.
So,
we don’t need pharmaceutical drugs for any of these afflictions!! And if
you don’t understand Metabolic Typing, go to my Web Site and read further
on it.
Until
next month, keep healthy! And plan to come hear our presentation on having
a healthy non-toxic home on Thursday, September 11 and plan to
sign up for our Group Detoxification
with the first talk scheduled for Thursday,
September 25. You owe it to your body to clean it up!
Please
tell your family, friends, co-workers, and everyone you know to please sign
up for the Newsletter Pathways to Optimal Health at www.wholebodyhealth.us and tell them
it’s free!
As
always, your questions, comments, and suggestions are welcomed!
All of Dr. Baldwin’s recommendations are based on
solid scientific research. However,
no one Nutritional Plan will work for ever person, nor will any one
Nutritional Plan work for every disease or degenerative condition. Pathways is not a substitute for
proper medical diagnosis of conditions which may require medical or
surgical intervention. Our
Diagnostic System allows us to treat the person with the condition and not
the condition that has the person.
Our program is not simply a weight loss program. It is a program intended to help
the client learn how he or she can attain optimal health and
wellness with a healthy immune system.
We maintain that everyone should be able to live life to the fullest
