			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out the National Institute of Mental Health&#8217;s website and you&#8217;ll find an astounding fact: 30 million Americans took anti-depressants at a cost of 10 billion dollars in 2009.  Pharmaceutical companies overall sales for 2009 included 14.6 billion for psychotropic (mind altering) drugs and $4.8 billion for ADHD drugs. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some facts-</p>
<p>1). Anti-depressants/psychotropics are only marginally more effective in symptomatic treatment than placebo&#8217;s &#8211; yet placebo&#8217;s do not create serious, multiple side-effects some worse than the original complaint.</p>
<p>2). There are no biochemical markers for stress or depression.  The tools MD&#8217;s use to diagnose stress, anxiety and depression are based upon symptoms alone.</p>
<p>3). The medical profession is lobbied by the pharmaceutical companies as to what drug is to be used for what symptom.</p>
<p>4). Stress, anxiety and depression are not caused by &#8220;chemical imbalances&#8221; rather they are an effect of unresolved conflicts and negative thought patterns, repeated over years.</p>
<p>5). Side effects of Anti-depressants- suicidal tendencies, bone loss, lower life expectancies, birth defects, sexual dysfunction, gastric upset, insomnia, nervousness and mental impatience.</p>
<p>How did a country known for it&#8217;s self confidence, self reliance and courage become a nation of lack/victim based sheep?  Who do not discern and question the never ending commercial drugging of symptomatology, as opposed to solving the conflict through our 6 essential choices and habits?</p>
<p>What we accomplish at our clinic, for those who are willing to <em>face</em>, <em>feel</em>, <em>deal</em>, and <em>release</em>, is true healing from the inside out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s some data from the October 2009 Journal of Pediatrics:</p>
<p>- Numerous studies have suggested that the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders has increased in the U.S. dramatically in the past decades. The early 2000&#8242;s found 1 in every 166 have some form of autism, by 2008 it was 1 in every 151, and 2009 saw the ratio drop to 1 in every 99.</p>
<p>- Mercury is a &#8220;potent neurological toxin&#8221; and a danger to an unborn child&#8217;s developing brain, even in low doses of micrograms.</p>
<p>- Mercury is used to produce thousands of products including: High fructose corn syrup, citric acid, sodium benzoate, sweeteners &amp; preservatives to enhance shelf life.</p>
<p>- In 2004 several member states of the European Union reported finding mercury concentrations in beverages, cereals, bakery ware, and sweeteners all which may contain high fructose corn sweeteners.</p>
<p>- Authors estimate that potential average daily total from high fructose corn syrup could be as high as 28.4 micrograms of mercury.</p>
<p>- Other sources of mercury are vaccinations (thiomersol) and dental amalgams.</p>
<p>- There are 20 million diagnosed cases of thyroid conditions nationally, with another 40 million sub-clinically present.</p>
<p>- Mercury is an endocrine disruptor as well, leading to heavy metal toxicity of the hormone system.</p>
<p>For more understanding see the book: &#8220;Diagnosis Mercury: Money, politics, and poison&#8221; by Jane Hightower, M.D.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Science is full of data that tells us that the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) is creating a variety of health time bombs that are HABIT DRIVEN.   Unfortunately until the public understands that it&#8217;s our habits that need to change, the pharmaceutical companies will be more than happy to provide the latest pill with the promise of symptom removal.</p>
<p>REMEMBER: SYMPTOMATIC SUPPRESSION OR REGULATION THROUGH DRUGS <span style="text-decoration: underline;">IS NOT </span>HEALTH CARE.  Whether prescribed therapeutically or taken recreationally for pleasure (the cessation of pain or a drug induced emotional state can be a symptom people call pleasure!).</p>
<p>This being said we all have different tastes, that as humans need to be fulfilled; sweet, sour, bitter, pungent and salty are all different aspects of taste.  Excess sugar can lead to a variety of diseases and symptoms, toxic acidosis and nutritional deficiencies.</p>
<p>So how do I find the balance?  One way is to use natural sweetners; molasses, maple syrup, date sugar, agave nectar, fruit juice concentrate and Stevia are all options to refined sugar.    There will be a different taste than junk food, yet in time our tastes and our bodies will adapt and heal, all for the better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well maybe.  For some people it&#8217;s OK, yet for people with behavioral problems, allergies, autism, asthma, Asberger&#8217;s Syndrome and a variety of other disorders an allergy to the protein in milk called casein may be the problem.   Although it may cause many health issues it also has an opiate-like calming effect &#8211; which may explain why so many people crave milk, chocolate, cheese and dairy products.  Whats going on is people are using food instead of their free will and intellect to regulate themselves and calm down.  Which indicates they are in a state of fight or flight when there is no actual threat.</p>
<p>What about kids?  I always ask what&#8217;s going on in the home. There could be a trigger with parents, siblings, friends, stress levels, parent&#8217;s stress levels, etc., that predisposes a child to hypersensitivity or the illusion of over-responsibility.</p>
<p>Casein is also a binding agent, so it can be found in glue, paint, nail polish, and even in cosmetics.  So if you have these symptoms and notice you go to cheese or dairy products when you &#8220;need to calm down,&#8221; you may want to avoid dairy ( which is also currently laden with various synthetic hormones to increase the size of the animals) since the processing of milk only concentrates the casein.</p>
<p>Rice milk and coconut milk may be a suitable substitute. Here&#8217;s a list to look at to see if you could benefit.</p>
<p>-Autism</p>
<p>_Asberger&#8217;s Syndrome</p>
<p>-Atypical Autism</p>
<p>-Allergies</p>
<p>-Asthma</p>
<p>-Any Inflammatory Condition</p>
<p>-Ear/Tonsil Infections</p>
<p>-Bed-wetting</p>
<p>-Colic</p>
<p>-Childhood Diabetes</p>
<p>-Iron Deficiency Anemia</p>
<p>-Occult GI Bleeding</p>
<p>Avoid: Milk, cream, ice ,cream, half-half, yogurt, butter, cream cheese, chocolate, creamed soup, pudding.</p>
<p>Substitute: Rice, soy/potato based milk, mocha mix, coconut butter, Tofutti brand product, Sunbelt/Italian ice, Imagine brand soups.</p>
<p>See our blogs on the 6 essentials for dietary changes and supplements.  Lately we have helped many people with &#8220;allergies to casein&#8221; simply by updating their functional neurology and memory patterns with B.E.S.T. treatments only!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that if you fill your plate with these and other vegetables you are filling your internal bank account (alkaline reserve) with countless riches (vitamins, minerals, co-factors, enzymes, etc) for future usage?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cabbage</span>: 1 cup has 96% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin K (clotting) and 50% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Carrots</span>: Beta Carotene &#8211; research suggests beta carotene protects against cancer, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tomatoes</span>: Cycopene &#8211; may protect against cancer development as well as containing vitamins A, C, K, and other key nutrients.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mint</span>: Contains an essential oil that is stress reducing, clears the sinus, and his high in vitamins A, C, and essential minerals.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cauliflower</span>: May protect against cancer development and contains anti-inflammatory compounds such as sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cucumbers</span>: Great source of potassium, naturally calming to the sympathetic nervous system, intracellular electrolyte that balances sodium, muscle relaxer, and high in antioxidants (60 diseases are known to be from free radical damage).  High in fiber &#8211; colon health!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Bell Peppers</span>: Powerhouse of vitamins A, C, E, K, Bx and antioxidants just to begin with!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Peas</span>: Packed with vitamins K, C, B, Manganese, Fiber, and a great non-meat source of protein.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Barley Green Sprouts</span>: Too large to list, a must daily!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Trace Minerals</span>: What your body craves and is not largely present in our soil.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s the statistics from The National Cancer Institute Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results.</p>
<p>2009 -  766,130 men, 713,220 women diagnosed with cancer.</p>
<p>What can you do today to reduce risk?</p>
<p>1.  Decrease body weight</p>
<p>- Increase veggies, fruits &amp; nuts</p>
<p>- Drink R.O. water</p>
<p>- Aerobic exercise</p>
<p>2.  Reduce toxic load</p>
<p>- Cut out sugar, high fructose corn syrup and sweeteners from your diet</p>
<p>- Go Organic with meats &#8211; less hormones for your body to deal with</p>
<p>3.  Take natural, whole food supplements that support body detoxification, normalization and self revitalization (there&#8217;s no power in a drug or surgery to be healthy, <strong>ALL</strong> health must come from within).</p>
<p>4.  Regularly <strong>cleanse your body</strong></p>
<p><strong>- </strong>Do a series of 10-20 detox foot baths</p>
<p>- Do a liver-bowel-kidney cleanse</p>
<p>5. Detox your thoughts</p>
<p>- Immediately DROP<strong> </strong>(without blame, excuse or justification) ANY negative thought about yourself, others, life, God, past, present, future and begin to dwell on what  you are <strong>GRATEFUL </strong>for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a recent article in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology that 47% of women who received the Depo-Provera shot lost significant bone mass in their hips within two years.  It seems it&#8217;s not nice to try to fool with  mother nature and medical therapies that seek to control physiology ALWAYS come with dire risk.   The study also found that smoking, never being pregnant and poor calcium consumption heightened the risk.</p>
<p>If you follow the 6 essential choices we monitor in B.E.S.T. and Morter Health System, most of the risk factors are eliminated.  Every choice we make has consequences, either health enhancing or disease promoting.  The problem with our conscious mind is we come up with excuses, rationalizations, projections, denials and justifications, all which seem positive to us, but in reality only legitimize a disease mentality.   For a more natural form of contraception, one could choose the symptothermal method, which has a 95% rate of predictability of fertility, with NO, I repeat NO negative health consequences.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mushrooms contain complex carbohydrates and polysaccharides which increase our bodies immunity.  Research strongly supports mushroom&#8217;s ability to prevent and even heal many ailments and conditions from cancer to a common cold.  Here&#8217;s a short list of the mushrooms and some of the positive effects to eat for good health.</p>
<p>Maitake:  Stimulates the immune cells in an anti-cancer fashion, lowers blood pressure, improves blood sugar</p>
<p>Reishi:  Improves blood sugar, blood pressure, fat metabolism, inflammation</p>
<p>Butten:  Increases vitamin D in the body (strengthens bones), helps create hormones, has a host of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity</p>
<p>Shitake:  Boosts immunity, fights infection, prevents tumor growth</p>
<p>Portobello:  Improves thyroid function, reduces plaque build up in arteries</p>
<p>When shopping: Make sure your mushrooms are firm, plump, fresh and wash them up.  Also it&#8217;s advisable to refrain from wild mushrooms, some of which can be lethal!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The science of Epigenetics tells us that the brain of the cell is the cell wall and that the nucleus (center) of the cell containing the DNA is the reproductive center of the cell.  Environment plays the key part in determining, through interaction with the cell wall, what genes will be activated and what will occur within the body.  What is most exciting, is, to a large part, I determine, my environment, through my choices.</p>
<p>The National Institute of Health will be investing $190 million over the next 5 years into the understanding of Epigenetics and your health.  They&#8217;ll most likely study diet and exercise which are 2 of our 6 essential choices.  However, what has the most dominant effect upon Epigenetics is our thoughts ( read our previous blogs).</p>
<p>There are 1.1 million women diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide with 200,00 being Americans.  What is interesting is there are over 300 studies that demonstrate eating vegetables can protect from cancer development.  Especially vegetables of the genus Brassica: namely broccoli, cabbage, watercress, kale, Brussels sprout, cauliflower, kohlrabi, Peruvian Macca and mustards.  For example, when eating 5 servings a week of these vegetables, the cancer odds ratio drops to .58 which is a 50% reduction in risk.</p>
<p>Perhaps we could also look at hidden resentments, bitterness, unforgiveness, over-responsibility (narcissism) over/under-nurturing others or ourselves.  These are the predominant negative emotions of the Stomach Meridian that passes over the breast tissue.  Dr. Dirk Hammer speaks from experience, with over 15,000 cases of studied cancer.  Resolution through forgiveness and embracing the lesson will most assuredly hasten the healing and reconnection to source.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently commented on obesity, BMI, disease and change.  The action steps are simple, yet we are the most obese nation on the planet!  That leads me to conclude we are the most &#8220;in denial&#8221;, full of excuses (well thought out lies), nation, when it comes to the Truth about health care.</p>
<p>Health is not about a pill, procedure, drug, surgery or vice.  Health is about making self honoring choices and a willingness to move from vice to virtue.  Here are a few well documented steps to follow through on once you have decided in your heart to honor yourself, and no longer believe in the excuses you have been programmed to believe.</p>
<p>1.  Find a picture in your life experience of joy or happiness and journal on this in great detail.</p>
<p>2. Every time you experience physical hunger, or the &#8220;urgent&#8221; knee jerk desire to eat; focus on your picture and emotion, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">until</span> you feel different and repeat to yourself &#8221; I am grateful &amp; thankful for joy in my life and I act only on my joy&#8221;.</p>
<p>3. Find a naturally flavored, sugar and soy free protein powder ( whey , rice, pea, hemp &#8211; i.e. Alka Slim)</p>
<p>4. Add Omega 3-6-9; flax seed, chia seed and antioxidant rich fruits &amp; veggies ( berries, Alka Green powder etc.)</p>
<p>5. For taste &amp; good fat try adding coconut milk to shake.</p>
<p>6. Add Trace Minerals; you won&#8217;t taste it.</p>
<p>7. Substitute a shake 2 x a day for meals.</p>
<p>8. Drink Green tea. It is high in antioxidants and can increase metabolism. 2-3 quarts per day. Much hunger is thirst.</p>
<p>9. Walk 20-30-50 minutes per day, 5 days a week.</p>
<p>10. Take chest, hip, and thigh measurements or BMI and remeasure in 6 weeks. You&#8217;ll be very pleased with the results.</p>
<p>Email me your results: dr.phillips@desertdove.com</p>
