Detoxing

1
Detoxing

• Truth or dare?

2
Detoxing 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)

4
The Bodys Own Detox Plan

• Liver- bile, cholesterol, (sterol), drug
• Kidney- urea, major toxin (drug) path
• Skin- secrete perspiration, electolyte

The Saguil Approach

• The sooner it dies
• .the better it is for you!?
• 
  no
  preservatives.imagine bread with a shelf life of
  12 minths?!!!

24
Oxidative Build Up

• Inflammation
• Overindulgence
• Poor nutrition
• Poor activity
• Poor spirit /-

25
What 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 most are over the norm

26
Inflammation

• Trauma
• Infection
• Food proinflammatory food
• Medicine side effects
• Poor sleep/altered healing
• Chronic pain
• Chronic emotional trauma/stress

27
Inflammation-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

28
Infection-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

29
FOOD! (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.
  -

30
Glycemic Index (the concept)
31
For more info

• American Diabetes Association 2006
• Johanna Burani, MS, RD,CDE
• http//www.glycemicindex.com/

32
Food Side Effects

• Inflammation with O3/O6 imbalance
• Alteration of insulin, gh, glucagon, serotonin,
  oxytocin!!!!!!
• 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!

33
Food 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

34
homeostasis 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

35
Concept 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

36
The Food Pyramid (how politics influences health)
37
The 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

38

40
Harvards Pyramid Walter Willet Lyon Diet Heart
Study
41
Lyon 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.

42
Fight 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.

43

  (this is why it works!)

47
Yoga

• -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.

48
Draw 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!
