Over 60 known diseases have been linked to chronic inflammation. These are the diseases that will overtake the average American unless we take action today. I’m not going to go into the biochemistry of inflammation and fat/hormone metabolism since that can put even diehard doctors to sleep. Instead, here is a list of Do’s and Don’ts that if followed diligently will reduce inflammation and allow healing to proceed according to original design.

DO Reduce

- animal products

- junk food & high wheat products

- stimulants, coffee, soda, etc

- sugar

- alcohol, smoking, recreational/therapeutic drugs

- resisting life’s lessons (I.E. stress: repeating a mislearned lesson over and over)

DO Increase

- reverse osmosis water

- veggies & fruits

- abdominal breathing (3-4x a day)

- whole food supplementation

- multiple omega supplement

- cardiovascular exercise

To be honest, we all are to some degree. The most common and overlooked habit that could reduce disease manifestation and save countless dollars spent on drugs, surgery, and emergency disease management is sugar addiction. In the past twenty years we as Americans have increased consumption from 20 lbs to 156 lbs – despite public awareness about its devastating effects on our bodies! Obesity, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome (TBP, cholesterol, blood sugar), and type II diabetes have all been linked to excessive sugar consumption. These are the facts.

So now what?

At Desert Dove Health and Wellness center we utilize diet, whole food nutrition, herbal spray compounds, and more importantly than all of the above: B.E.S.T., a space age technology designed to resolve the subconscious sabotages we all have that contribute to our habitual poor choices, and update the mind’s response to current and past stressors, thereby reducing dependency on the rollercoaster effect of stress – sugar – temporary feelgood - low blood sugar crash - repeat. Over, and over, and over.

Potatoes the common potato sources include baked, mashed, scalloped, chips, fries, knishes, pierogies, plus potato water in breads, biscuts, matzo, soups and stews and vodka.  Beware that potato is also included in these ingrediants: hydrolyzed vegetable protein, modified vegetable protein (MVP), or modified food starch hidden in packaged meats, cold cuts and seafoods and other processed foods.  Sweet potatoes are O.K. (a different family).

Tomatoes and their sauces ( like barbecue and brown sauces), seasonings, condiments like ketchup and steak sauce, prepared meats (like meatloaf), baked beans, gravies, and salad dressings containing them.

Peppers include red, green, orange, yellow, jalapeno, chili, cayenne, curry, pimentos, and paprika. Thes are hidden in salads, cold cuts, pastas, sausage and deli meats, olives, tabasco, worcestershire, steak sauce, coloring on nuts and fish, seasoning mixes, crackers, dips and spreads; black and white pepper are O.K.

“Spices” If the word “spices” or “natural flavorings” appear in the ingredient list, I cannot have it.  These are hidden sources and nearly always in commercial salad dressings, mayonnaise, mustard, condiments, sauces, prepared (frozen) entrees, and soups; they could contain paprika, crushed red pepper, ground red pepper, cayenne, chili, curry; All other specified spices are O.K. (like black pepper (again not in the same family), garlic, ginger, basil, rosemary and more).

Also avoid eggplant and tabacco, as well as soy products, since monsanto is genetically modifying 80% of the soy with the petunia gene (a nightshade).

What’s Left?

Flaxseed & olive oils, vegetables, including sweet potatoes (a different botanical family) and many other spices like black pepper (again not in the same family), garlic, ginger, basil, rosemary and more.  All fresh unprocessed meats, fowl and seafoods, wines and fruits, nuts, beans, cheeses, grains and herbs are not in the “nightshade family”.
