WHY CHIROPRACTIC AND DETOX?

• Chiropractic focuses on removing interference
  from the nervous system
• (This is not limited to the spine!)
• The nervous system controls all bodily functions
  (IE-breathing, heart rate, blood flow, tissue
  repair, waste removal, urination/elimination,
  etc.)
• Nerve interference can be caused by a PHYSICAL,
  CHEMICAL, or EMOTIONAL source
• LETS TAKE A LOOK

A Healthy Nervous System allows the body to Heal
itself by

• Removing CHEMICAL, STRUCTURAL, AND EMOTIONAL
  STRESSORS
• As a Chiropractor, I treat CHEMICAL AND
  STRUCTURAL stressors to heal the nervous system
• Today we will focus on CHEMICAL stressors which
  lead to dis-ease and how if affects your ability
  to heal.

21-Day Purification ProgramSession 2 Body
Impedance Analysis (RJL Systems)
7

• During Session 2 you will receive your BIA
  results that were tested at Session 1.
• Your results are kept private and confidential.
• Please note that this analysis is not intended to
  diagnose or prevent disease and is only used as a
  screening device according to the FDA.

Body Impedance Analysis-What do all the numbers
mean?

• NOTE The 21 Day Purification is designed to
  increase fat burning, promote regular bowel
  function, improve normal body chemistry, and
  provide elimination of toxic accumulation of
  heavy metals, cholesterol, hormones, inflammatory
  agents, and free-radical damage.
• -All of these factors, to just name a few,
  affect the outcome of your impedance test
  results, and indicate a deviation from
  normal/common Impedance results derived from a
  healthy population
• Body Impedance Analysis has been incorporated
  into the 21 day Purification to demonstrate
  quantitative results of improvements within the
  normal physiology of the body, indicate areas of
  biochemical imbalance, and act as a biological
  marker (a benchmark) for health improvements
• The 21-Day Purification is one of many ways to
  improve your results

BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS 

• Fortunately, we now have a better device for
  weighing ourselves than a scale and a better way
  to determine what we should weigh than ideal body
  weight charts. It is the BIA, Bioelectrical
  Impedance Analysis, a machine that "weighs" each
  of the different kinds of tissue in your body. It
  measures the amount of muscle and other lean
  tissue, like your organs, and the amount of fat
  and water in your body.
• It tells you if the water you have is in the
  right place. It also measures the phase angle,
  which can be described as the "strength" of your
  cells. Body Impedance is one of the best
  predictors of survival in HIV disease. It also
  has practical applications to evaluate healthy
  individuals.
• The results are divided into two main categories,
  Fluid Assessment and Nutrition Assessment.

10

• BIA RESULTS
• Fluid Assessment Status indicates whether you are
  dehydrated (not enough water), euhydrated (the
  right amount of water), or edemic (too much water
  in the wrong places).
• Total Body Water is simply a measurement of all
  the water in your body.
• Intracellular Water is the water inside the
  cells of your lean tissue, and Extracellular
  Water is the water found outside your cells and
  your blood plasma. After air, water is the most
  important nutrient we ingest.
•  
• Nutrition Assessment also Body Cell Mass is
  the most active metabolic tissue in our bodies. I
  call it the fire-breathing tissue. This is the
  tissue that does the work in our bodies. It uses
  oxygen to burn glucose. It is the home of the
  intracellular water. It is loaded with potassium.
  It is our own internal combustion engine.
• BCM, or Intracellular tissue, is the tissue that
  helps to keep you healthy. It is the tissue you
  want to build up when you lift weights and do
  other kinds of resistance exercise. It makes
  walking upstairs easier and makes you happy when
  you look in the mirror. Organs such as your
  heart, liver, and GI tract are another section of
  BCM.
• Extracellular Mass or Tissue (tissue outside the
  cell) is the home of extracellular water and the
  place where you find sodium, chlorides, and
  calcium. It is made up of the skeleton, tendons,
  ligaments, plasma, and other tissues. Its primary
  purpose is transport and support.
• Fat-Free Mass is the sum of the body cell mass
  and the extracellular tissue. Fat Mass is all the
  fat in the body. Contrary to what most people
  believe fat contains very little water. (think
  of oil and water)

• The second and subsequent BIA tests are even more
  important than the first since changes in the
  report printed on paper seem to make a bigger
  impression than a doctors advice aloneseeing is
  believing.
• The second test also opens up new areas of
  concern and show how your efforts--or lack of
  efforts on the 21-Day Purification--make a big
  difference.

16

• The BIA results are calculated from two separate
  electrical readings taken from the skin,
  Reactance and Resistance
• When a reactance reaches zero, the cell has died
  because it is no longer able to maintain and
  electrical gradient in its cell wall, which is a
  phospho-lipid bilayer This is true in any living
  substance which carries an alternating current.
  Death of the cell is called apoptosis, or
  programmed cell-death.

The BIA instrument is actually releasing a
current into your bodys cells and charging the
cell, which tests the bodies ability to hold
energy (capacitance). Normal values for
reactance are calculated on your BIA Report based
on Age and Sex. As an example, a battery
acts like a capacitor. In relation to our
bodies, we want our capacitance to go UP, which
is the measurement of reactance.
17

• Body fat, total body water and extracellular
  water offer ONLY resistance to electrical
  current, while cell membranes ONLY offer
  capacitive reactance.
• Since fat tissue cells ARE NOT SURROUNDED BY CELL
  MEMBRANES, reactance is not affected by the
  quantity of body fat.
•

Phospho-lipid Bilayer
A layer of fat (saturated fat!) sandwiched

• By definition, a capacitor consists of two or
  more conducting plates separated from one another
  by an insulating, or non-conductive material
  known as a dielectric. Capacitors will store a
  charge of electrons for a period of time
  depending on the resistance of the dielectric.
  This di-electric is your cell wall, composed of a
  phospolipid bilayer.
•  
• The cell has an electrical analogy to a
  capacitor, and the aqueous (water) space around
  the cell to a resistor
•  
• In the healthy living body, the cell membrane
  consists of a layer of non-conductive lipid
  material sandwiched between two layers of
  conductive protein molecules. The structure of
  cell membranes makes them capacitive reactive
  elements which behave as capacitors when exposed
  to an alternating current. Biologically, the
  cell membrane functions as a selectively
  permeable barrier separating the intracellular
  and extracellular fluid compartments. It protects
  the interior of the cell while allowing passage
  of some materials to which it is permeable. The
  cell membrane maintains a fluid osmotic pressure
  and ion concentration gradient between the
  intracellular and extracellular compartments.
  This gradient creates an electrical potential
  difference across the membrane which is essential
  to cell survival.

• Resistance
• When resistance is high, conductance is lowIt is
  preferable for the conductance of your body to be
  as high as possible, which means that resistance
  should be low. Naturally, tissues and fat are
  resistant to conduction, yet leaner tissue is
  more conductive than fat tissue.
• Due to the natural healing ability of your
  nervous system, it is ideal for your tissue
  resistance to lower in order to allow effective
  nerve conduction.

23

• Body Cell Mass (BCM)-
• In AIDS patients, researchers found that these
  patients had a better chance of survival when
  their BCM was higher. IF they lost more than 46
  of their BCM, their point of death was very near.
  In essence, this means that lean muscle tissue
  needs to be increased, through exercise and diet,
  otherwise opportunistic infections have a better
  chance of altering your health. The more the
  lean muscle mass, then healthier a person tends
  to be
• You can remain at an ideal body weight, yet have
  had your body composition change for the better
  or worse. I.E. Lose lean muscle tissue and gain
  fat.this is what generally happens in AIDS
  patients, even though they may maintain a
  specific weight. We dont want to exchange
  muscle for fat, we want to exchange fat for
  muscle.
• On the 21-Day Purification, it is not uncommon
  for a person to remain the same weight, yet lose
  several pants sizes because of the
  re-distribution of lean tissue, fat, and water.

Phase Angle(Turn to PAGE 4)

• This measurement was originally intended to
• identify overall body health. Recently,
  the measurement was removed from impedance
  literature. It is likely that the FDA is now
  restricting their ability to publish this
  parameter.

Coffee Enema-The Great Detoxifier
Utilized by many alternative doctors to aid
cancer patients in their recovery. Promoted by
William Donald Kelly, One Answer to Cancer as
a method to detoxify the liver and Gallbladder.
Used for thousands of years as a bowel
detoxifier.
Why Coffee Enema Cleansing Works The effects of a
coffee enema are different than a saline enema.
The most important difference between a saline
enema and a coffee enema is the presence of
caffeine in the coffee. Caffeine, theophylline
and theobromine, combine to stimulate the
relaxation of smooth muscles causing dilatation
of blood vessels and bile ducts. The effects of
having a coffee enema are not the same as
drinking coffee. The veins of the anus are very
close to the surface of the tissue. The caffeine
is therefore absorbed more quickly (and in higher
concentration) than it is in when coffee is
drunk. Benefits of Enemas and Colonics with
Coffee Enemas and Colonics have been used for
hundreds of years, and are generally regarded as
safe. Additionally, coffee cleansing enemas have
a chemical makeup that is stimulative. The
enzymes in coffee, known as palmitates, help the
liver carry away the toxins in bile acid. The
coffee is absorbed into the hemorrhoidal vein,
then taken up to the liver by the portal vein.
With the bile ducts dilated, bile carries toxins
away to the gastro-intestinal tract.
Simultaneously, peristaltic activity is
encouraged because of the flooding of the lower
colon. Thus, when the colon is evacuated, the
toxins and bile are carried out of the body.
33
Chelation.

• The word Chelation implies the ability to bind
  heavy metals. The heavy metals of greatest
  toxicity are Mercury, Cadmium, Aluminum,
  Arsenic, and Lead. Research is has been heavily
  conducted over the last several years to
  determine the effectiveness of chelation for
  heart disease and the treatment of autistic
  children.
• Chelation can be accomplished through several
  sources, most commonly Vitamin C, Cilantro,
  Bentonite Clay, and Bile. Another compound,
  Alpha Lipoic Acid is also a very favorable
  chelating agent because it is able to cross the
  blood-brain barrier, unlike many other chelators.
• A Vitamin C source, particularly derived from the
  Adrenal Gland appears to be the best Vitamin C
  Complex available. Standard Process formulates
  this in their supplement DRENAMIN. This
  supplement is ideal for improving stress.
• Doctors also have the ability to provide
  intravenous chelation using DMPS, DMSA, and EDTA.
  These forms are generally considered to be harsh
  forms of chelation, so we will discuss milder
  methods. Side affects typically occur due to
  hypo-calcemia, Aka loss of calcium, resulting in
  cardiac arrest.

34
(Dry) Skin Brushing

• Your skin is the largest organ of
• detoxification
• Skin Brushing
• -Stimulates peripheral blood vessels
• -Removes dead skin cells which block your pores
• -Pushes lymph fluid towards your liver
• Perform before you shower or soak in Epsom Salts
  or Bentonite Clay. Always brush along your limbs
  towards your body or chest. This is the
  direction lymph naturally travels. Brush
  Lightly. Soak. Pat-dry.

35
Fasting. To Juice or Not to Juice.
Juicing can be a very helpful or hurtful process,
if it is not done properly. Frequently,
individuals juice fruit in greater quantities
than vegetables, due to taste, which can cause
significant blood sugar imbalances. The reason
this typically occurs is the Loss of fiber
content once the fruit is juiced. This fiber
helps balance the effects of sugar on your blood
stream. Removing the fiber and pulp WILL cause
sugar sensitivity and the results of the juicing
fast will NOT last. The results usually will
remain only temporarily.
Vegetable Juicing, on the other hand, can be very
rewarding. A well-made juicer can juice the
entire vegetable, including the pulp, leaving you
with all of the natural components of the food.
A good source of information on Juicing may be
found at www.mercola.com Juicing Product reviews
are also available at this reliable source
produced by Dr. Mercola.
Water Fasting only is not a recommended procedure
due to its stress on the liver, gallbladder, and
kidneysOnce again, lasting results will not
remain due to the stress placed on the bodys
sympathetic nervous system. There are some GREAT
benefits this can offer to extremely sick people,
yet it is very difficult to complete properly in
a non-stressful environment should be physician
guided.
36
Sauna vs. Steam

• Saunas are one of the most cost-effective means
  of detoxifying the body, increasing metabolism,
  and purging toxins particularly through the skin.
  One must take great caution to replenish
  water-soluble minerals such as sodium and
  potassium when using Saunas regularly. Potassium
  depletes very quickly in warm environments. If
  using a sauna regularly, both of these nutrients
  should be supplemented. Typical temperatures
  range from 165-180 degrees. When first starting
  to use a sauna, intervals should last only 5
  minutes, and no longer than 20 minutes total.
  Once a person is accustomed to sauna use, maximum
  time should be 10 minutes. Once again, no longer
  than 20 minutes total. Remember, decreasing
  inflammation is one of our goals.
• Steam Rooms are also beneficial as long as they
  are maintained and cleaned well. I would only
  use them if YOU maintain and clean them well,
  using only cleaners derived from orange peel,
  etc. The risk of breathing air-borne bacteria
  and chemical cleaners/bleaches is not worth the
  risk. Some of the worst diseases, such as
  Legionnaires disease, are carried by water
  particles in environmental conditions that are
  perfect for bacterial growth. Typically moist
  and cool. Steam rooms are kept at 100-105
  degrees, which is not hot enough to create
  unfavorable conditions for bacterial growth.
• Other concerns regard the vaporization of
  chlorinated and fluorinated chemicals in the air.
  Chemicals absorb exceptionally fast in the nasal
  passages and mouth. Think about this When you
  smell something, it is just as if you have direct
  contact with that chemical

37
Infra-red Heat Sauna

•   Infrared lamp saunas use incandescent infrared
  heat lamps for heating. They emit mainly near
  infrared, some middle infrared and perhaps a tiny
  amount of far infrared energy. They also emit a
  small amount of red, orange and yellow visible
  light. This type also provides warming and
  stimulating color therapy. Red, orange and
  yellow assist the eliminative organs.
• While traditional saunas require high
  temperatures for copious sweating, infrared
  penetrates the skin and heats from the inside as
  well as on the skin. This means the air
  temperature in the sauna can remain cooler, yet
  one sweats plenty at this lower, more comfortable
  temperature.
• The infrared lamp sauna penetrates deepest, we
  believe, and we are waiting for formal studies to
  confirm or disprove this hypothesis. They may
  penetrate up to three inches or so, so the air
  temperature can stay coolest of all the types of
  saunas with the same effectiveness. Preheating
  is usually not necessary, saving time and
  electricity. While some people like the intense
  heat of the traditional sauna, many find it
  difficult to tolerate, especially those when
  feeling ill.
• Infrared is an antioxidant nutrient, activates
  the cells, supports metabolic processes and
  decouples toxins from water molecules. Near
  infrared is helpful for wound healing and
  cellular regeneration as well.

Baths.

• Epsom Salt
• -Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfateit can be used
  internally to aid constipation and relax smooth
  muscle. Alternatively, Epsom salt is very
  inexpensive and a great soaking aid. The
  Magnesium draws fluid to the skin and helps to
  remove dead skin and hydrate the dermis.
  Magnesium also relaxes the capillaries of the
  skin and brings increased circulation to the
  tissue. Magnesium is recognized in more than
  5000 chemical reactions in the body, making it a
  limiting-reagent to the healing of your body.

40
Baths.

• Bentonite Clay (Calcium Montmorillonite)
• Chemical property ADSORPTION, BINDING
• Bentonite is very effective as an adsorber of
  heavy metals, organic/inorganic material, and
  also has the ability to draw toxic material out
  of plastics, metals, and your tissues.
• It is a relatively inert material, which
  primarily draws chemicals toward it, and
  non-reactive with negatively charged particles.
  This makes bentonite a good detoxifier since it
  will not absorb across the bowel wall, which is
  also negatively charged. In this manner, the
  bowel will retain the toxic material rather than
  letting it re-absorb into the blood stream
• For use in a clay bath, approximately one cup of
  the material will effectively draw blood to the
  surface of your skin, improve elimination through
  the pores, and increase heavy metal release.
• With the correct consistency of water added,
  bentonite may be used as a facial mask. This
  material is the core ingredient in most expensive
  mud-masks.
