Title: Detoxing
1Detoxing
2Detoxing from foot baths to diet to energy
work.
- The basic premise is to take something out of the
body that has build up. - Nature has an innate sense of surviving by
natural detoxing the liver. - With pollution comes eventual build up (remember
the Native American?) - With Technology, Post-War Chemicals, Food
Industry, Transportation, Antibiotics-
(pharmaceuticals)comes indulgence and
exposure..but lets concentrate on food-
3-continued
- When you take in for nutrition, you eliminate
anything that cant be used (1,2) - Humans hunt and gather and follow the
herds/seasons to keep close to a food source. - With civilization, no need to move/wander with
the seasons food can be found in distant places
and brought to you. (first intro to inactivity) - Now, average produce travels 2000 miles before
you purchase it-and it still looks shiny and
fresh! (just like Joan Rivers)
4The Bodys Own Detox Plan
- Liver- bile, cholesterol, (sterol), drug
- Kidney- urea, major toxin (drug) path
- Skin- secrete perspiration, electolyte
- Lung/nose- bacteria, gas, water
- Colon- nonfiltered particle, fiber, bact
- Lymphatics- provider of transportation
- let the body do what it knows!
5Common Detox Methods

23The Saguil Approach
- The sooner it dies
- .the better it is for you!?
-
no
preservatives.imagine bread with a shelf life of
12 minths?!!!
24Oxidative Build Up
- Inflammation
- Overindulgence
- Poor nutrition
- Poor activity
- Poor spirit /-
25What happens in oxidation?
- Oxidation-Reduction reaction-
- think cleavage!!!! )
- Unchecked oxidation leads to free radicals
- Think of free radicals as energy sources but not
good energy like ATP, glucose, oxygen ---think
of it like radiation, heat, pain, cell wall
damage, unchecked swelling, chromosome damage,
defect unmasking. - Body can handle some but for the bulk it cant
handle, you are now exposing yourself to damaging
energyremember Hiroshima?
26Inflammation
- Trauma
- Infection
- Food proinflammatory food
- Medicine side effects
- Poor sleep/altered healing
- Chronic pain
- Chronic emotional trauma/stress
27Inflammation-its not all bad
- Inflammation is necessary for healing but..
- To much unchecked inflammation will lead to acute
pain, movement limitation, chronic pain, poor
lymph and blood flow, organ and gland
dysfunction, alteration of the sympathetic and
parasympathetic systemspoor homeostasis
28Infection-its bad
- I dont like it but inevitable
- I believe a well oiled machine will fight and
recover quickly - Antibiotics and vaccinations work but have side
effects that lead to more inflammation,
resistance or poor homeostasis (Saguil Approach
-wait 5y) - Herd Immunity
29FOOD! (and here we are!)
- Hippocrates Food as Medicine
- 2000-2500 calories daily ok for average
- Transfats daily? (labeling says 0 for anything
- lt 0.5)
-
- High glycemic foods?
- - Empty Calorie Diets poor nutrition
- - Food treated poorly- Kobe Beef, Salmon Farms,
GMOs, Hormone fed chicken and beef, antibiotic
resistant animals.
-
30Glycemic Index (just know the concept!)
31For more info
-
- American Diabetes Association 2006
- Johanna Burani, MS, RD,CDE
- http//www.glycemicindex.com/
32Food Side Effects
- Alteration of insulin, gh, glucagon, serotonin,
oxytocin!!!!!!to start inflammation and damage. - Filling with average teen diet leads to satiety
and lack of want for moms home cooking - Caffeine addiction and hyperstimulation/hormone
prod - Alcohol addiction/liver congestion now and later
- Fat in steak/pork, antibiotics in salmon, genetic
virus in GMO, high hormone levels in chicken also
cause poor thriving, immunity for animal - Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations -Poop!
33Food Good Effects
- Well oiled machine -homeostasis
- Excellent hormone cycles
- Tolerability to stressors
- High functioning mental capacity
- Faster wound healing
- Killer immune system
- Great sex, sleep, productivity (Moses) and
spirit
34homeostasis broken down
- If the cell is bathed in oxytocin, serotonin it
will want to function at its peak - Parasympathetic system is the rest, digest, love
system-Maximize on this! - (Sympathetic is necessary but not for 8 hours a
day- maybe just 3 times a year) - --Allow a cell to function and give it a healthy
environment and it will fix itself- See how
nature would do it -Andy Weil
35Concept changes in food
- 1973 Imitation Food erased from labels
- 1977 Eat less red meat Sen. Mcgovern
- . now all was a calorie, , portion, carb,
protein or a fat. Industry took off from then,
consumers got unhealthy with the new idea of
food, no longer for community -(filipino plate at
the door habit), ritual, culture, pleasure,
identity. Micheal Pollan
36The Food Pyramid (how politics influences health)
37The Western Diet
- Refined grain (no bran, no germ, lasts long GI)
- Pure sugar
- Red meat
- Processed meats
- Little whole grains
- Little fresh fruits and vegetables
- fast
food dietnational eating disorder
38Diseases associated with WD in other countries
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Certain cancers
- our WMD.
39Killers in the US cdc.gov
- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Stroke (CVD)
- Chronic lower resp diseases
- Accidents
- Alzheimers
- Diabetes
40Harvards Pyramid Walter Willet Lyon Diet Heart
Study
41Lyon Diet Heart Study
- The type of diet described by the Healthy Eating
Pyramid really does seem to be healthier than the
currently conventional Western diet since a
Mediterranean diet similar to the Healthy Eating
Pyramid was trialed in the Lyon Diet Heart Study.
This French study20 of patients who had survived
a heart attack had to be stopped early after just
two and a half years because the trial diet was
so effective compared to the control diet (a
mildly modified Western diet). All-cause death
was 70 lower in the trial group than in the
control group.
42Fight the Killers with Fads? No, just for looks
- The ZONE On the plus side, The ZONE encourages
people to exercise, drink lots of water, and
limit carbohydrates while balancing proteins and
fat. It distinguishes between good and bad fats
and better and worse carbohydrates. However, I do
not like its suggestion that food should be
regarded as a drug to manipulate your hormones
and metabolism - that is not a healthy attitude
toward food and eating. Overall, however, the
ZONE is one of the better diets out there for
healthy weight loss. - The Perricone Diet Touted as "the wrinkle cure,"
this diet, devised by a dermatologist, holds that
eating high-quality animal protein (excluding red
meat) as well as healthy fats, lots of fresh
berries and pure-water will reduce inflammatory
changes in the body and thereby prevent wrinkles.
These recommendations are good, but there is no
scientific evidence that any eating plan can
prevent or eliminate wrinkles. Also, Dr.
Perricone tells you to eat an immoderate amount
of salmon and fails to warn about the dangers of
farmed salmon. - The Ornish Diet Mainly a very low-fat,
vegetarian plan, this diet, in combination with
group support, stress reduction, and moderate
exercise, was devised to halt (even reverse)
coronary heart disease. In my view the emphasis
on very low-fat intake is obsolete and fails to
take note of the important distinction between
high and low glycemic-load carbohydrate foods.
Most people not facing invasive cardiac
procedures will not have the motivation to stick
with this restrictive diet. - The South Beach Diet Devised by a noted
cardiologist, this diet requires you to eliminate
carbohydrates for two weeks and then add back
specific, low glycemic-load carbs. Its weaknesses
are that you don't count calories or control
portion size, exercise isn't addressed, and I
think there is too much emphasis on meat. The
underlying assumption is that if you're
overweight, you must be insulin resistant, which
isn't true for everyone. - The Atkins Diet Here you also eliminate most
carbs and don't count calories. My major
objection to this one is its failure to
distinguish between good and bad fats (olive oil
and other monounsaturates being the good ones and
saturated and polyunsaturates the unhealthy
ones). Similarly, there isn't enough emphasis on
fiber, vitamins and minerals, all of which are
important in disease prevention. If you're on
Atkins, you miss out on health-protective
phytochemicals found in fruits and many
vegetables and don't learn to differentiate
between healthy low glycemic-load carbs and less
healthy high-glycemic load ones. Some studies
have shown that short-term use of the Atkins diet
is safe and effective for healthy weight loss.
Many physicians are concerned about long-term
health risks.
43Diets that have lasted
- Paleolithic.just kidding, no f v
- Japanese diet seasonality, high fish, high plant
land and sea, presentation - Mediterranean diet low meat, high plant, high
monosat fats, wide variety, grain - Vegan/vegetarian/raw B12, iron, fats
- labor
intensive but healthy
44Vegetarian
- Vegan -no meat,dairy,processed,egg
- Raw Vegan unprocessed veg, not gt115
- Lacto Vegetarian dairy ok, no eggs
- Lacto-ovo vegetarian -dairy egg ok
- Flexitarian/semi-vegetarian
- Pescatarian all meats but fish ok
- Pollo Vegetarian poultry ok (chik,turk,du)
45The Ornish Program
- Plant based diet (vegetarian diet)
- Meditation
- Exercise
- Group support
- -Dr Dean Ornish has published studies showing
that a low-fat (10 fat) vegetarian diet resulted
in a 60 reduction in adverse cardiac events in
patients with moderate to severe coronary heart
disease - and soon prostate cancer! - -approved by Medicare last summer!
Hopefully the shape of things to come!
46The 21 day Wellness Program
- Red meat, pork and chicken (fish allowed)
- Wheat and Sugar
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Dairy products (eggs allowed)
- Yoga (movement) and Meditation
(this is why it works!)
47Draw backs
- The headaches and insomnia that will come from
body not getting its fix - -caffeine, hi GI foods, taste association,
courage in a bottle, saturated fat-butta and
grissle, high sugar, low fiber, extra cash for
cool clothes by buying 7 family value pack! - -WARNING, you will spend more money since
healthy eating, movement and spirituality is not
covered by insurance - -luckily bypass, back surgery, radiation,
chemotherapy, post stroke therapy, chronic
rehabilitation and life long prescriptions are
covered by insurance!!YEAH, HOORAY!
48Benefits
- Weight loss from mindful eating
- Decreased pro-inflammatory foods (spark)
- Liberated energy from the gi tract
- More room for good foods (color,fiber,oil)
- Less bloating, more physical movement, better
breathing, more colonic movement, less
stagnation, more meridia/chakra flow - Better mentation, happier cells, better dna
49Yoga
- -The incorporation of a healing tradition from
5000 years old to modern day medical practice.
It sets a framework to allow the physical body
unrestricted utilization of energy. It allows
the mind a calming technique to champion
especially in times of stress. When both body
and mind are allowed to function with unlimited
expression, health and happiness are experienced
and love is found. -
Enrique Saguil
50..then comes the yoga part!
- Movement -(not necessar-ily flexibility)
- Breath control -(stress reduction, oxygen, 355
cutoff, internal massage) - Mindful clarity (stillness doesnt mean not
moving), CELLS WORK BETTER!! - Herb Benson found meditation could control blood
pressure, heart rate, respiration
temperatureAND GENE EXPRESSION!! -
51The Saguil Approach

53Life is dynamic
- Newtonian vs Einsteinean
(energy is not linear) - Expect some set backs but remember how you feel
today and reach for it again - Never go back, (or get out of it fast)
- Time it, pack it, freeze it but dont deny the
Feast (Rick Bayless) - Change the way we think of food (Michael Pollan),
its not just nutrition facts, understand
valuation. - Food is transformed energy and information from
the power of the sun placed here for us to
survive.
54Ayurveda (the science of life)
- Seasonality or eating for the season (not the 4
seasons but the 3 harvests) - VATA(winter) KAPHA(spring) PITTA (summer)
-seasons - Detox between the seasons of winter/spring and
summer/winter - Practice yoga/meditation to calm your mind to
balance your body - Practice ayurveda to purify your body to balance
your mind -
