Weight Loss – Simplified

June 24th, 2010

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 “in denial”, full of excuses (well thought out lies), nation, when it comes to the Truth about health care.

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.

1.  Find a picture in your life experience of joy or happiness and journal on this in great detail.

2. Every time you experience physical hunger, or the “urgent” knee jerk desire to eat; focus on your picture and emotion, until you feel different and repeat to yourself ” I am grateful & thankful for joy in my life and I act only on my joy”.

3. Find a naturally flavored, sugar and soy free protein powder ( whey , rice, pea, hemp – i.e. Alka Slim)

4. Add Omega 3-6-9; flax seed, chia seed and antioxidant rich fruits & veggies ( berries, Alka Green powder etc.)

5. For taste & good fat try adding coconut milk to shake.

6. Add Trace Minerals; you won’t taste it.

7. Substitute a shake 2 x a day for meals.

8. Drink Green tea. It is high in antioxidants and can increase metabolism. 2-3 quarts per day. Much hunger is thirst.

9. Walk 20-30-50 minutes per day, 5 days a week.

10. Take chest, hip, and thigh measurements or BMI and remeasure in 6 weeks. You’ll be very pleased with the results.

Email me your results: dr.phillips@desertdove.com

Inflammation: The Silent Killer or Wake Up Call

March 13th, 2010

Our body’s normal response to a threatening stimulus is inflammation.

Unchecked inflammation can lead to suffering and dis-ease. 

Dr. Peter Libby, chief of cardiovascular medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston states, “We evolved as a species because of our ability to fight off microbial invaders.”

Our body responds with inflammation when it comes in contact with a virus, bacteria, fungus, mold, parasite, physical/emotional stress, chemical toxins and

even dietary indescressions, (ie. sugar/protein overload, not enough vegetables).

If our nervous and hormonal systems are constantly being triggered by various and multiple stressors that initiate the inflammatory immune body response over and over, chronic inflammatory reactions are inevitable.  Multiple diseases can be traced to the body’s chronic (lasting more than a year) inflammation response.

*Heart attacks   *cancer                   *Alzheimer’s  *Type II diabetes      *Obesity     *Autoimmune diseases:  multiple sclerosis, lupus, fibromyalgia       *Sjogrens    *High blood pressure  

 Any symptom with “itis” after it:  colitis, nephritis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, gastritis, pancreatitis, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, bronchitis, otitis…  

There are currently over 60 disease processes involving chronic inflammation.

What can be done?

Lifestyle modifications can be made to minimize chronic inflammatory syndrome.

·         Reduce sugar and all refined hydrogenated food products (junk foods in general including drinks derived from sugar (high fructose corn syrup and maltodextrin are also refined sugar products)

·         Filtering water

·         Organic meats/dairy

·         Organic vegetables/fruits (the greener the better!)

·         Regular exercise

·         Breathing exercises

·         Catching oneself in the act of regurgitating the “old story” and letting go of that mindset (or set mind!)

·         Relaxing daily:  prayer/meditation

 

Health authorities agree if we can reduce the cause of inflammation and interrupt the inflammatory process our body will heal itself as it was designed to do.

Two very powerful anti-inflammatory agents are chlorophyll and chlorophylin.  Chlorophylin is a semi-synthetic, water-soluble  mixture of sodium and copper salts derived from chlorophyll. 

Here is a short list of benefits from chlorophyll and chlorophylin .

·         Tissue growth & repair

·         Internal deodorant

·         Topically for slow healing wounds

·         Calcium assimilation (stabilizes cell membrane)

·         Forms molecular complexes with chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer, therefore may block carcinogenic effects

·         Delivers magnesium and helps blood carry oxygen

·         Neutralizes several oxidants (free radicals) – Inflammation is produced from free radical damage

·         Limited data from animal studies indicate that chlorophylin may increase enzymes responsible for detoxifying chemical carcinogens.

·         Prevention of liver cancer

·         Prevention of colon cancer

·         Powerful antioxidant- neutralizing free radicals within the body that cause disease and membrane damage

·         Protection against DNA mutation

·         Promise as a chemo protective agent

·         Useful in treating calcium oxalate stones (kidney/gallbladder)

Mother Nature has provided many other powerful anti-inflammatory agents in the form of Fulvic Minerals.  Fulvic means created by the microbial activity of plants.  Benefits include:

·         Transport valuable anti-inflammatory nutrients into the cell (increases absorption (permeability) and bio-availability)

·         Increases oxygen while decreasing acidity

·         Improves enzyme development

·         Powerful free radical scavenger and anti-oxidant

·         Powerful detoxifier

·         Anti-biotic

·         Anti-viral

·         Biphasic electrolyte: can accept or donate electrons depending upon need

·         Weight loss
