Your Medicines Could Destroy Your Body- Lose Sickness and Find Wellness

People have been conditioned to reach for a drug to solve any and every problem.  This leads to an avalanche of health issues.  The United States of America has the best "acute care" in the world. If you suffer a heart attack or are injured in a car accident, there is no better care in the world.  But, when it comes to chronic care, western medicine is all about treatment via pharmaceuticals.  This should not come as a surprise when you learn that pharmaceutical companies subsidize American medical schools.  So many people fall into the pharmaceutical cycle and don't even know they're being used for profit.  If you have a primary care physician who practices prevention and wellness- keep him/her!!!  Remember the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?"  Well, today's medicine isn't even about the cure, it's about the maintenance drugs.  Therefore, an ounce of prevention is worth a TON of cure...so...in my opinion, your focus should be on prevention and wellness.  This is why the blog is named "Lose Sickness and Find Wellness."  Our mantra is "Eat Well, Exercise, and Supplement Intelligently" because those are the three pillars of health in our opinion.  \

It all starts with healthy eating. We eat as many organic fruits and vegetables as possible.  Yes, they cost more. However, we made the decision to lose sickness so that is one of the costs.  We also garden so that we can grow our own food.  This helps with the overall cost and provides us with a great outlet to relieve stress!  We stopped eating red meat 20 years ago. We no longer consume mammals.  There are a number of health and environmental reasons for this but for us, it was the right thing to do. We eat chicken, turkey, and wild caught  fish (never farm raised).  We try to eat organic or free range fowl if possible.  We also try to eat free range eggs. We plan to raise our own chickens within the next 12 months.  We eliminated wheat and sugar from our diets. We do not consume ANY artificial sweeteners at all.  We use a minimal amount of stevia in recipes.  We juice almost every day with collard greens, kale, carrots, celery, cucumbers, red beets, and ginger. Our goal is to make better choices today than we made yesterday!

Every day, you have a choice...you can fall into the profit trap of the big pharmaceutical companies and follow the path of sickness or you can make a decision to lose sickness and find a wellness path.  There is a lot of good information available if you look.  It takes a little more time and some people may tease you for being different (this is the root of all bullying) but it's worth it.  We raised our children naturally and yes, they were a bit different.  At 20 and 18, they are now extremely healthy young adults.  They are both at college and in their own ways, they are helping their friends and fraternity brothers to lose sickness and find wellness.

Are Vitamins Good For You?

This article was originally written about a year ago on a different blog site...at the time, there were numerous articles being released that multivitamins caused more harm than good. Since then, there have been other studies showing the opposite.  Bottom line, each person must make the best decision for him/her based on information available and common sense.  I am reposting this because I still feel the information is relevant.

Are vitamins good for you?

Phillip A. Black
December 2011

Over the past several weeks, I have read numerous articles and blogs on the topic of vitamins (and supplements) and if they are good for you or not. Almost all of the articles, no matter what credentials the authors do or do not have are simply rubbish. Period. End of story. Why would I make that statement? Because EVERY article I read about this topic contains the same fatal errors. The authors generalize and do not account for any variables. Well, it's time to set the record straight. I am going to justify why my mantra is "Eat well, exercise, and supplement intelligently."

Yesterday, I read an article written by a dietician who stated that most people under 50 do not need supplementation if they eat well. Really? How does she define eating well? I don't know because she didn't define eating well in her article. Does eating well mean following the laughable food pyramid? Does eating well mean eating only organic foods grown locally? Does eating well mean eating the types of food that our genes require for optimal wellness? Does eating well include consuming canned or frozen fruits and vegetables? The answers to just a few of those questions can make a huge difference. Ask ten people if they eat well and almost all of them will answer affirmative to some degree. Very few people will say they do not eat well. However, eating well is relative.

Most people think yogurt is a health food...and it can be. Well, if you eat organic, plain yogurt with active cultures and no added sugar, it is very healthy. However, how many people eat that type of yogurt? I see what people put into their carts at the store and it's not plain, organic yogurt. Dannon Company settled a class action suit to the tune of $35 Million regarding its Activa yogurt line. The lawsuit was filed in early 2008, alleging that Dannon knowingly misled consumers in its marketing of the yogurt. The massive false advertising campaign convinced shoppers to pay 30% more for yogurt containing “probiotic” bacteria because of the products’ supposed health benefits. You see, it's not that healthy! It contains fructose syrup, sugar, and fructose (three distinct instances of added sugar on top of the sugar naturally present in the strawberries and the lactose). The total sugar count is 17 grams per serving (just over 4 teaspoons). The three added sugars only account for one teaspoon though. This is actually not too bad, and much better than Yoplait Strawberry Yogurt that clocks in at 27 grams of sugar. What does this have to do with vitamins? Perception. People are misinformed by advertising and simply do not grasp the facts. In a perfect world, I might agree with the author's assessment that most people under 50 do not need supplementation IF they truly ate well. However, this is NOT a perfect world. Look around. How many people eat well? Obesity rates are soaring. The number of people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes is soaring. Because of financial struggles, Americans are eating cheap, processed foods at an alarming rate. A study published in December 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that a single dollar could purchase 1,200 calories of cookies or potato chips, but only 250 calories of carrots- which may help explain why the highest rates of obesity continue to be observed among groups of limited economic means.

Where do Americans eat their food? Americans are now spending over $140 billion annually on fast food at over 25,000 fast food restaurants. Based on this statistic alone, Americans are not making solid nutritional decisions. How about a Happy Meal? A cheeseburger happy meal with fries and a soda at McDonald's has 640 calories and 24 grams of fat. This is over half of the total calories many children should be eating in a day. And that soda? It contains way too much sugar but it also contains phosphoric acid. So what? Calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus must be maintained in the proper balance for healthy bones. When too much phosphorus is in the blood, calcium is leached from the bones, causing osteoporosis. Even in citrus sodas which contain citric acid instead of phosphoric acid, calcium is needed to normalize blood pH. In a nutshell, we are overfed and undernourished as a country. Clearly, this is not a perfect world.
 
Let me take this one step further. Let's assume we have a population who chooses to eat a plant based diet. Let's take a look at the soil those plants are grown in. Almost all non-organic produce is now grown on factory farms. This means that the farms use modern production techniques to maximize production and profit. These modern means include pesticides, artificial fertilizers, and a lack of crop rotation. This means that the soil is nutritionally deficient as well as contaminated with chemicals. This is what the plants derive their nutrition from. You see, modern factory farms are paid solely on production and how nice the plants look. There is no financial incentive for nutritional value. This explains why there is a movement towards organic farming. People realize the food we are consuming is lacking nutritional value. So, even if you are eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, if they are not organic, the nutritional value is not what it once was. Donald Davis, a biochemist at the University of Texas, said that of 13 major nutrients in fruits and vegetables tracked by the US Department of Agriculture from 1950 to 1999, six showed noticeable declines -- protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin and vitamin C. The declines ranged from 6 percent for protein, 15 percent for iron, 20 percent for vitamin C, and 38 percent for riboflavin.

There are also a number of external reasons why people are not getting the nutrition one would expect from food. The number of people taking prescription medications, that impact the bioavailability of nutrition, is soaring. People taking certain drugs can not synthesize the nutritional value from food they eat. In other cases, the prescriptions themselves diminish the body.

• Antibiotics like penicillin and Tetracycline often cause deficiencies in B and K vitamins.
• Anti-inflammatories such as Prednisone, Medrol, Decadron and even over-the-counter aspirin can cause loss to important nutrients like Calcium, Vitamin C and Folic Acid.
• Oral Contraceptives and Hormone Replacement Therapy drugs affect the entire range of B Vitamins and can lead to low Folic Acid levels.
• Common antacids and ulcer medications impact Vitamins D and B12, as well as Iron and Zinc.
• Cholesterol drugs like Lipitor, Zocor and others deplete Coenzyme Q10, which can affect cardiovascular function and weaken the immune system.

Another fatal flaw of these articles is that the authors lump all vitamins and supplements together as if they're all the same. The premise of many of the articles I've read is that vitamins (in general) are either needed or not needed. That is way too simplistic. By vitamins, are they talking about multi-vitamins only or are they talking about the various types of individual vitamins available today (such as Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, etc? Are they talking about Centrum or are they talking about Isotonix® supplements? They are not all the same as you will see.

Let's briefly look at the ingredients of the popular Flintstones vitamins. They contain sorbitol, which is a sweetener, gelatin, a binding agent, natural & artificial flavors (including fruit acids), pregelatinized starch, a thickener, stearic acid, a saturated fat, carrageenan, a stabilizer made from seaweed, hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean, castor), FD&C Red #40 Lake, a dye, FD&C Yellow #6 Lake, a dye, aspartame, an artificial sweetener, xylitol, a sugar alcohol, and FD&C Blue #2 Lake, a dye. Excuse me, but what is hydrogenated oil doing in a health product? I don't know either. Many popular vitamins sold in stores ARE JUNK and should not be consumed. However, there are brands of vitamins and supplements that do not contain binders, fillers, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, alcohol, and hydrogenated oil. So please do NOT lump all vitamins together!!!

Because I am discussing perceptions and misconceptions, I need to lay out the facts about processed milk. One of the greatest misconceptions, or lies, is that processed milk is healthy and that it builds strong bones. Really? Yes, ask anybody, right? If you believe this, you are a sucker and have fallen victim to advertising. See for yourself. Visit The American Dairy Association and Dairy Council's website (http://www.adadc.com/) and read their mission statement. It states: "Our Mission: The mission of the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council, Inc. is to economically benefit dairy farmers by encouraging the consumption of milk and dairy products through advertising, education and promotion, to reach consumers with product benefits and advantages." They are being quite clear that they are in business to help the farmers by encouraging the consumption of dairy products through advertising. Nothing wrong with that...except you have all been conned if you think processed milk is good for you and that it helps build strong bones. The fact is that the countries with the highest dairy consumption have the highest rate of osteoporosis. According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, the United States and Europe account for 51% of all fractures from osteoporosis and according to the United States Department of Agriculture, countries in the European Union and the United States are the number one and two processed milk consumers in the entire world. Yes, it’s true. Europeans and Americans not only consume the most processed milk, we also suffer the most cases of osteoporosis across the globe. I'm sure our friendly dietician didn't know these facts and probably feels if a person gets enough milk, supplementation (calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D) is not necessary.

Bottom line. Based on surveys that I've personally conducted, over 70% of the population takes some type of supplementation. Unfortunately, due to the power of advertising and the lack of education, much of the supplementation is garbage and the consumer's money is wasted. When we go into a medical professional's office and survey clients, we ask them if they take any form of supplementation? If the answer is yes, we follow up with a question that asks what happens if they stop taking it- do they feel any difference? Almost always, the answer is no, they don't feel any different. At that point, we pause and ask the patients, if the supplements were working, wouldn't they feel a difference when they stopped taking them? The fact of the matter is so many people take junky supplements that they're not getting any benefit from them. Many top selling brands never even dissolve in the body. That's right. Because of the binders, fillers, and additives, the pills never dissolve. They exit the body in essentially the same shape they entered. Don't believe me? See the image below and Google the term bed pan bullets.

I could go on and on and discuss every type of supplement on the market but I think I've provided some facts and evidence that throwing all vitamins or supplements into the same pot is ridiculous and these articles generalizing supplement usage are nonsense. Some supplements are effective and some are not. Some are effective for certain populations and some are not. My belief is that, as a baseline, everyone should be taking quality multi-vitamin, Omega 3, and B-complex supplements.

For those in pain, or dealing with inflammation, I would strongly suggest a potent anti-oxidant. The most effective that I've found is called Isotonix OPC-3®. Isotonix OPC-3® is an isotonic-capable food supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine and pine bark extracts, and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be powerful antioxidants. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds) found in fruits, vegetables and certain tree barks that provide exceptional nutritional benefits to the human body. Studies have shown OPCs to be up to 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals.

Omega-3s May Slow Biological Aging

New Study Shows Omega-3s May Slow Biological Aging

Courtesy of Lee Swanson & Swanson Research

October 23, 2012

Supplements of omega-3 fatty acids may improve the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids and slow a key biological process linked to aging, says exciting new research.

Data published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity indicated that four months of supplementation with omega-3s was associated with longer telomeres in immune system cells. Telomeres are DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes that shorten as cells replicate and age.

The aging and lifespan of normal, healthy cells are linked to the so-called telomere shortening mechanism, which limits cells to a fixed number of divisions. During cell replication, the telomeres function by ensuring the cell's chromosomes do not fuse with each other or rearrange.

Elizabeth Blackburn, a telomere pioneer at the University of California San Francisco and co-author of the new paper, likened telomeres to the ends of shoelaces, without which the lace would unravel. With each replication the telomeres shorten, and when the telomeres are totally consumed, the cells are destroyed (apoptosis). Previous studies have also reported that telomeres are highly susceptible to oxidative stress. Some experts have noted that telomere length may be a marker of biological aging.
"The telomere finding is provocative in that it suggests the possibility that a nutritional supplement might actually make a difference in aging," said Professor Jan Kiecolt-Glaser from Ohio State University and lead author of the study.

A previous observational study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2010 (Vol. 303, Pages 250-257) showed high blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids may slow cellular aging in people with coronary heart disease.

Professor Kiecolt-Glaser and co-workers recruited 106 healthy, sedentary, overweight, middle-aged and older adults to participate in their double-blind four-month trial. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: The first group received 2.5 grams per day of omega-3, the second group received 1.25 grams per day of omega-3 and the third group received placebo capsules.

After four months of supplementation, results showed that omega-3 supplementation significantly decreased measures of oxidative stress, with F2-isoprostane levels found to be 15% lower in the two supplemented groups compared to placebo.
 
There were no significant differences in telomerase and telomere length between the groups. However, a decreased ratio of omega-6:omega-3 was associated with longer telomeres, which suggested that lower omega-6:omega-3 ratios "can impact cell aging," the researchers said.  Inflammatory markers also decreased by between 10% and 12% as a result of omega-3 supplementation, while levels increased by 36% in the placebo group.

"This finding strongly suggests that inflammation is what’s driving the changes in the telomeres," said Kiecolt-Glaser.

Would You Take a Simple Test To Obtain an Inside Look at YOUR DNA?

What if you could learn about your health with a simple test, one that could give you realistic and reasonable recommendations to promote your quality of life?  Would you take it?  A current Time.com article,What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Your DNA by Bonnie Rochman poses the question, should doctors share the bad news if they test a child's DNA and find that the child possesses a genetic mutation that may cause a health challenge later in life?  It is one of those questions that can be debated back and forth because there are NO right or wrong answers.  However, what most people don't know, is that there IS a simple and painless way for anybody to check their genetics...so that people can take action in accordance to their DNA.

When it comes to our bodies, we want to make choices that have a positive impact on our health. But some of those decisions – eating the wrong foods, making certain lifestyle choices, even the way we exercise – could impact our body's ability to maintain optimum health. Even if we think we’re making the right choices, there are other factors that help determine our overall picture of health.

Genetics play a huge role in how our bodies process nutrients, how they respond to activity and how we react to our environment and surroundings. When it comes to your health, the answers are in your genes. Your DNA tells a story: how you process foods, how you react to exercise, how your environment affects your body, how your family history plays a part in your health.

Coenzyme Q10 Supports Gum and Oral Health

About a month ago, I attended, as a vendor, an international conference for dentists.  Our booth was the only one in the exhibit hall that had anything to do with nutrition and/or wellness.  While we received some odd looks, many of the vendors and attendees were interested in why we were there.  We did our best to educate those open enough about the importance of nutrition as it pertains to oral and periodontal health.  To many, this was a new concept.  To some, we were confirming their findings and research.  I wanted to write a short article about coenzyme Q10 and oral health but I found an excellent article already available.  Why reinvent the wheel?  The following is an article written by Dr. Jill Smith from www.drjillsmithwellnessblog.com.  This is an excellent article regarding the benefits of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on oral health. My commentary follows Dr. Smith's article.

Coenzyme Q10, also known as Ubiquinol, is a fat-soluble vitamin like substance found in nearly every cell in the human body. Its fundamental role is that it moves electrons during reduction and oxidative cellular functions. Dietary sources of CoQ10 include organ meats, sardines and spinach (WebMD). This coenzyme enables life-sustaining chemical reactions in the body, including its integral role in liberating energy from food, neutralizing damaging free radicals and regenerating protective antioxidants. Although our body is able to manufacture its own CoQ10, after the age of 20 our ability to do so declines over time and is very depleted by the age of 40. In addition to this age-related decline, there are other factors that deplete the amount of Coenzyme Q10 found in the body. One is common Statin drugs such as Lipitor. Other factors such as unhealthy diets, environmental toxins and stress can also diminish CoQ10 levels. To restore healthy youthful levels of Coenzyme Q10, dietary supplements or focused increase of foods containing this nutrient are required.
 
Research suggests that the far-reaching benefits of the supplement CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) have positive effects on oral health as well the whole body (Mayo Clinic). I first heard about CoQ10 through a patient of mine who worked in a health food store. He mentioned anecdotally that many of his clients that were taking Coenzyme Q10 were reporting an improvement in their gingivitis and gum tissue health and a lessening of gum disease and other inflammatory issues in their body. He also shared a great resource with me, a booklet from People’s Health Series titled “Coenzyme Q 10 and Its Active Form: Ubiquinol.” Since my practice focuses on dental health and whole body wellness, I want to share with you information and the science behind the supplement CoQ10 and Ubiquinol.

The role of Coenzyme Q10 in oral health is related to its properties in controlling inflammation. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease where the body’s reaction to bacterial toxins in the mouth mediates an inflammatory response resulting in the destruction of the gum and bone around the teeth. As far back as 1981, researchers had established the benefits of CoQ10 as an effective imunomodulating agent and neutralizer of inflammatory pathogens. Another study investigating the link between a deficiency of Coenzyme Q10 and periodontal disease found convincing results about 60% of the 40% diseased gingival tissues showed a deficiency of CoQ10. Another study was conducted where CoQ10 was applied to pockets of disease gum tissue and significantly reduced the pocket depths and bleeding as well as other indicators of infection.

The benefits of Ubiquinol and CoenzymeQ10 reach farther than the mouth. CoQ10 has been shown clinically to promote and maintain a healthy heart, support the cardiovascular system and promote arterial and vascular health. CoQ10 may promote improved cognitive function and nervous system health. CoQ10 plays a vital role in ATP production and is required for energy production in the cell, which in turn supports healthy aging. CoQ10’s close relationship with cellular health may promote many more health benefits. It has been clinically tested for its impact on tinnitus (ringing ears), diabetes, migraine headaches, gum disease, exercise performance, immune disorders, asthma and neurodegenerative problems.


I am excited about the potential to help my patients with gingivitis and gum disease with dietary supplements and dietary awareness of foods that contain CoQ10.

nutraMetrix® Heart Health™ Advanced Co-Q10

 

 

 

 

What Makes nutraMetrix® Heart Health™ Advanced Co-Q10 Unique*?

Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient that plays a vital role in health maintenance. It contributes to a healthy cardiovascular system, periodontal health, maintenance of normal blood sugar levels, maintenance of cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, sustaining vitamin E levels in cell membranes, energizing the immune system and proper weight maintenance. 

A person’s heart beats, on average, 100 thousand times each day, which adds up to about 36 million times per year. CoQ10 is the vital nutrient that promotes the production of energy at the cellular level that powers the heart, the body’s energy production cycle, and acts as a powerful antioxidant when combined with vitamin E. Within a cell it serves as a carrier of electrons in the electron transport chain, neutralizes free radicals, and helps protect the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane. 

As individuals age, the ability to synthesize coenzyme Q10 begins to decline. Sometimes this is due to poor eating habits, stress or infections, but the main challenge for most people is the ability to choose the right foods containing CoQ10 as well as the other nutrients needed to manufacture it in the body. It is a combination of both that provides the body with the best possible amount of CoQ10 for optimal health.
