The 2 Basic Principles
in Natural Health
1. Feeding and nourishing the body systems
2. Cleansing and removing toxins from the body

Think of pH as
Potential for Health
6
pH Levels

• pH is a symbol for the degree of acidity or
  alkalinity in a solution. pH stands for
  particles of Hydrogen or power of Hydrogen.
  The maintenance of a stable hydrogen ion
  concentration in the body fluids is essential to
  life.
• 90 of the population are usually too acidic
• Some examples of health challenges that are
  associated with overly acidic blood are

Gout Arthritis Lupus Fibromyalgia Cancer He
art conditions
7
What causes pH imbalance?

• A high protein diet (70-80 protein 20-30
  carbs)
• High levels of stress
• Diseases diabetes, emphysema, prolonged vomiting
• Highly processed foods (containing preservatives)
• High amounts of sugar in your diet

8
Foods that affect pH LevelsIt is important to
maintain our pH level to the ideal range.
Foods

• Acid Forming
• Grains (unsprouted)
• All poultry, fish, meats and eggs
• Sugar and syrup, except honey
• Nuts
• Legumes

• Alkaline Forming
• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Brazil nuts, coconut and almonds
• Soybeans
• Lima beans
• Sprouted grains and seeds

To maintain proper alkaline levels, eat 80 of
your diet from the alkaline food list and 20
from the acid food list!

Connecting The Body Systems
1. Colon
2. Small Intestines
3. Liver
4. Lymphatic System
5. Circulatory System
10
The Digestive System

• Where most of the nutrients toxins are
  absorbed in our bodies

• Learn how the Digestive System works

11
Feeding and Nourishing the Body Systems
Digestion
Step 1 We chew the food
As we chew the food, the body produces enzymes to
assist in the digestion process.
12
Digestion
Step 2The food moves down into the
stomach

• The stomach is the only acidic organ in the body

• The stomach breaks the food down turns it into
  an isotonic liquid state called CHYME

13
Digestion
Step 3 The Chyme moves down into the Small
Intestine

• The Small Intestine is about
• 21 ft. Long 1.5 inches diameter

• The Small Intestine is where most of the
  ABSORPTION takes place

14
Absorption

• Inside the small intestine are thousands of
  finger-like structures called VILLI

• The outside surface of the Villi and microvilli
  add up to about 200 square meters (about the
  surface area of the singles tennis court at
  Wimbledon)

15

• VILLI and microvilli are where all of the
  absorption of nutrients, medications, chemicals,
  toxins into the blood stream takes place.

16
Digestion
Distribution of Nutrients and Toxins
Everything that is absorbed through the VILLI
enters the blood stream and lymphatics, and is
then carried distributed throughout the body
(nutrients, medications, chemicals and toxins).
17
Digestion
STEP 4 The unused food passes into the Large
Intestine (colon)

• The large intestine is about 5 ft. long and 2.5
  inches in diameter

• This organ eliminates the unused foods and toxins
  from our bodies 2 to 3 times each day

18
AUTOINTOXICATON
The production of toxic chemicals produced by the
colon bacteria, and the continuous diffusion of
these toxins into the colon wall and ultimately
the blood stream, resulting in possible damage to
the colon wall as well as distant sites in the
body.
19
THE COLON or LARGE INTESTINE
The American diet is full of white flour and
processed foods. As a result, many Americans are
affected by waste build up in their colons
causing autointoxication.
20
SYSTEM CHALLENGE
Blood carries toxins to the Liver

• The liver filters blood
• Excessive years of toxic filtration and the liver
  may become impaired
• When the liver becomes impaired, the toxin
  produced by autointoxication will affect the
  Lymphatic System

21
Lymphatic System
Runs along side of the circulatory system. It
has no pump fluid is moved passively during
muscle contraction.
22
Lymphatic System
Immune System
Has two main functions
1. Protects us from infection (viruses,
bacteria, fungi) and tumors
2. Clean up intercellular waste
23
Lymphatic System

• When functioning correctly, the Lymphatic System
  will dump its waste into the colon where it is
  trapped in mucus and is excreted
• However, when the colon and liver are not working
  to full capacity, the Lymphatic System will find
  another place to release its waste within the body

24
Circulatory System
The transport system for your blood (heart,
arteries and veins)
Before you have problems with your circulatory
system, like high blood pressure or heart
disease, you could have had problems with - - -
Digestion, Elimination, and Autointoxication
25
FACT

• All of your body systems must be functioning
  properly to reach optimal health
• There are no fences in your body
• Dr. Sheryl Duchess, N.D.
• Compromise any body system and
• We dont function properly
• We dont feel well
• We compromise optimal health

26
The Typical American Diet
27
TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET
Foods
Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Donut
White Flour - When mixed with water makes paste.
Donuts have little to no fiber and have big
amounts of sugar.
Sugar - Destroys B-Vitamins. B-vitamins feed our
nervous system and help keep us calm.
Hydrogenated Oil -The hydrogenation process was
developed in 1912 to harden soap. The food
industry uses this process to develop
hydrogenated oil to prolong the shelf life of
foods. This fake fat or hydrogenated oil can
cause lesions inside the arteries which impairs
cell function. As this happens over time,
cholesterol calcium will stick to the damaged
areas of the arteries thus leading to blockage
hardening of the arteries.
Processed coffee beans are acidifying. Coffee
also destroys our friendly bacteria.
Coffee
28
TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET
Foods
Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Creamer Substitute
Several Hydrogenated Oils ( Fake Fats) - cause
cholesterol build up inside our arteries.
Nutra-Sweet or Aspartame
Aspartame when heated to high temperatures, the
wood alcohol in this chemical is converted by
enzymes to formaldehyde. It potentially can
become a neurotoxin that passes the blood brain
barrier causing potential health challenges.
29
TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET
Foods
Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Cheese Burger
More white flour which makes paste. Processed
cheese is made with hydrogenated oils, and even
looks like plastic. Hamburger meat. Our cattle
are fed antibiotics and steroids. We dont really
know what meats are safe to consume anymore.
French Fries
Potatoes fried in more hydrogenated oil. More
lesions inside the arteries.
Coca Drink
Phosphoric acid in sodas will leach out and
chelate the calcium in our bodies. When we are
acidic, our body will rob calcium from our bones
to neutralize the acid. The 1st bone it will
draw from is your jaw bone, a non-weight bearing
bone. The sugars in soda will cause acidity.
30
TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET
Foods
Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Canned Foods
Loaded with preservatives. If you cant
pronounce the words on the label dont eat it.
Because these can be foreign chemicals, your body
may not know what to do with them.
Ice Cream
All-American comfort food! Commercial Ice Cream
is made with over 300 different chemicals, one
being Diethyl Glucol used in Anti-freeze paint
removers.
Cookies
More white flour, hydrogenated oil and sugar.
Pasteurized Milk
When milk is pasteurized to kill the bacteria, it
becomes an inorganic form of calcium. It is not
fully assimilated by the body and calcium
deposits tend to form from too little calcium in
the diet. Milk is also mucus forming. If you fed
pasteurized milk to a baby cow for 30 days, it
would die. We consume the most dairy in the
world, but we have the highest rate of
osteoporosis.
31

• Not So Typical American Diet

32
NOT SO TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET
Foods
Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Fruit is high in fiber and loaded with
antioxidants like vitamin C and bio-flavonoids.
Fruits also contain a lot of water content. We
are 70 water and we need food that contains
water to hydrate our body. Fruit contains natural
sugar that gives you a good source of energy.
Fruit is also a great source of phyto-chemicals,
which are nutrients found in fruits, vegetables,
and grains that contain special nutrients that
help fight against cancer and other
disorders. Fresh raw fruits are loaded with
enzymes and when we eat our foods raw 30 of the
digestion is done for us by the food itself.
When we cook our food over 110 degrees F, we
destroy the living enzymes and our body must use
its own enzymes for digestion robbing us of
energy.
Fresh Raw Fruits
33
NOT SO TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET
Foods
Ingredients and Their Effect on the Body
Fresh Raw Vegetables
Vegetables are mainly carbohydrates that are high
in antioxidants, phytochemicals and fiber. Dark
green vegetables will help to alkalinize the body
and are a great source of calcium. Vegetables are
also low in calories and sugar so they feed your
body with nutrients without a lot of calories.
There are at least 5 different cultures that live
extremely long lives where their average life
span exceeds 100 years old. One thing they all
have in common is they eat a lot of raw
vegetables grown in very rich soil. We should try
to eat at least 2 large salads per day and 2 to 3
more servings of fresh vegetables either steamed
or stir fried in good oil like olive oil. Dont
over cook them so you receive the vitamin content
intact.
34
When we eat this way, our small intestines and
villi will be free to absorb the nutrients and
the colon will eliminate properly. You have
heard the saying We are what we eat. In this
case, I say, We are what we absorb.
35
Long Term Results From Toxins Leaking From The
Colon
After years years of running Toxic Blood
through our entire body, it is no wonder why our
health may start to deteriorate
High blood pressure
Allergies
Heart disease
Asthma
Arthritis / Gout
Cancer
High Cholesterol
The list goes on

36
THE SOLUTION
SYSTEMATIC CLEANSING
1. Colon
2. Small Intestines
3. Liver
4. Lymphatic System
5. Circulatory System
37
Simultaneously Clean the Colon, Small Intestine,
and Liver

• Use a high quality herbal laxative
• Add a daily fiber supplement
• Use a high quality herbal liver cleanse

38
Possible Symptoms of an Unhealthy Colon Liver

• Fatigue Dizziness
• Skin Disorders (eczema, psoriasis, acne)
• Body Odor Bad Breath
• Puffy Eyelids
• Difficulty Sleeping
• Hangover Feeling in the Morning
• Swelling/Edema
• Tenderness Under the Rib Cage

39
Support The Detoxification Process of the Liver
with OPCs

• One of the best blood and liver cleansers is OPCs
• Cleansing the blood will help flush the toxins
  out of the liver

40
Cleansing through a chain reactionThe Lymphatic
System

• Once the colon is free of excess fecal matter and
  the blood and liver have been detoxified, the
  Lymphatic System can now empty its waste into the
  colon
• You can help -- Exercise is the best way to
  assist the cleansing process of the Lymphatic
  System

41
Cleansing and Repairing The Circulatory System
Certain antioxidants like OPCs, Co- Enzyme Q10,
Vitamin C and Vitamin E along with certain
minerals, in high dosages have been known to
strengthen the blood vessels and improve
circulation.

Minerals
A deficiency of a single mineral can negatively
impact the entire chain of life, rendering
other nutrients ineffective and useless.
What does a mineral deficiency cause? Diabetes,
poor vision, lack of energy, imbalance of
electrolytes, structural weakness and nervous
system weakness.
57
Minerals
Where have they gone?
U.S. Senate doc. 264 states that Americans are
mineral deficient due to depleted minerals in
the U.S. farm soil. This was stated in 1936!
Our farmers are only required to put three
minerals back into the soil nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium.
58
Minerals
.
The foods we eat are deficient in over 77 trace
minerals that we need to sustain our health.
Minerals that are compressed into tablets do not
absorb well in our bodies.
59
Colloidal Minerals
What are they ?
Extremely small particles from plants
absorbing minerals from soil.
Minerals in colloidal form are easily absorbed.
60
CoQ-10
The Miracle Nutrient
Most people over the age of 50 have low levels
of CoQ-10.
1. CoQ-10 strengthens the heart muscle 2. It
reduces the risk of heart attack 3. It helps
repair tissue damage
61
Calcium
What are some symptoms of calcium deficiency?
Osteoporosis Hypertension Arthritis
Insomnia Muscle cramps
Calcium deposits tenderness Kidney
stones Receding gums Bone spurs Premenstrual
syndrome
What is the best source of calcium?
Dark, green vegetablesNOT DAIRY
62
B-12 With
Folic Acid B-6

Our bodies are deficient in B-vitamins due to the
lack of whole grains in our diet. B-vitamins
feed and nourish the nervous system.
Symptoms of B-vitamin deficiency -
Nervousness - Insomnia - Low energy - Decrease
in motor skills

• What do the B-vitamins do for us
• Lower homocysteine levels. (High homocysteine
  levels increase the risk of heart attack, even
  more than high cholesterol).
• Increase energy levels
• Folic acid is crucial to the manufacturing of DNA

63
Aloe

• An ancient remedy dating back to prehistoric
  times. Referred to as the miracle or medicine
  plant by the Egyptians

• Used externally for healing the skin and
  internally for irritated digestive system it is
  also an immune builder

• Contains long-chained carbohydrates,
  glycoproteins and over 200 nutrients

• Whole leaf, high quality aloe contains these
  nutrients
• minerals, fatty acids, vitamins, thiamin (B-1),
  riboflavin (B-2), niacin (B-3), pantothenic
  acid (B-5), pyridoxine (B-6), folic acid (B-12)
  and vitamins C E, and beta-carotene

64
Aloe contains

• Enzymes that include Amylase, Lipase, Oxidase,
  Catalase and Bradykininase
• Eighteen amino acids including eight essential
  amino acids
• Simple and complex sugars
• Aloins including barbaloin (an excellent stool
  softener)

65
Omega Oils

• Americans used to get 40 of their fat from
  Omega-3 oils
• Today only 5 of our fat comes from these oils
• Societies that consume large amounts of fish have
  a much lower rate of heart disease and arthritis

66
Benefits of Omega-3 Oil

• Lowered LDL cholesterol
• and Triglyceride levels
• Decreased platelet stickiness
• Reduced blood pressure
• Improved Immune System
• Acts as an Anti-inflammatory

67
Synthetic Hormone Replacement

• Studies have shown higher risk of cancer for
  women using synthetic hormone replacement
• The American Medical Association and the Journal
  of the National Cancer Institute stated that each
  year you take HRT, your risk of breast cancer
  rises by 8-9
• After 10 years your risks are 70 higher

68
Prostate Care For Men
50 of all men over the age of 40 will develop
some form of prostate disease. 80 of men over
the age of 80 will develop some form of prostate
disease.
Now even many Urologists are suggesting
supplementing with certain herbs and supplements
that have proven beneficial for prostate health.
