Are You What You Eat?

• We are not what we eat but
• What we eat
• What we digest
• What we assimilate
• What we eliminate

12
Digestive Process

• Digestion is the process during which gastric
  juices and enzymes break down foods into their
  basic components vitamins, minerals, enzymes,
  amino acids, trace organic elements.
• The body absorbs these nutrients from the
  digestive tract into the blood, while the bowel
  eliminates unneeded material.

13
Digestion Depends On

• Effective chewing (depends on healthy gums and
  teeth)
• Proper hydrochloric acid and pepsin levels in the
  stomach
• Quality digestive enzyme production by the
  pancreas

14
Digestion Depends On

• Healthy liver and gallbladder function
• Balance of proper intestinal flora
• Proper peristaltic action in the intestinal tract

15
The Digestive Tract

• Is like the hole in a doughnut
• From the mouth to the anus is one long tube
• This tube is protected from the outside by mucous
  membranes
• Leaky gut means that the protection has been
  breached. Overgrowth of Candida cells allows
  their roots to puncture the lining, leading to
  food allergies.

16
Chinese Medicine the Spleen

• The spleen governs all digestion
• Excess earth (gas or bloating), use Chinese
  Anti-Gas Formula
• Deficient earth (Anorexia or inability to gain
  weight), use Chinese Spleen Activator
• Weak digestion, spleen chi, is generally caused
  by a long-term deficiency of protein, use of
  low-fat and high-carbohydrate diets, drugs, or
  chronic disease.

17
Human Digestive Tract
18
Mouth

• Should be ALKALINE
• Chewing and saliva begin the digestive process
• - Saliva should not be diluted ideally no
  liquid with meals
• - To increase saliva, chew Natures Sweet Life gum

19
Stomach

• Should be ACIDIC
• Thirty-five million glands to produce
  hydrochloric acid
• Do you think someone can have too much acid?

20
Stomach

• Purpose of acid
• Break-down of proteins
• Acidification of minerals for assimilation
• Does it make sense to take TUMS as a source of
  calcium?

21
Stomach

• Enzyme production is depressed by extremely hot
  cold beverages and adrenal exhaustion
• Stomach acid production decreases with age.
• Gum chewing between meals stimulates secretions.

22
Results of Low Levels of Hydrochloric Acid

• Fermentation gas, burping, belching, bad breath,
  Gastro Esophageal Reflex Disease (GERD)
• Poor protein digestion - possible reason that
  Americans crave so much protein

23
Results of Low Levels of Hydrochloric Acid

• Poor mineral absorption osteoporosis, canker
  sores, muscle cramps
• Stomach acid is your primary defense against
  food-borne illnesses
• Take digestive enzymes always, including when you
  travel and eat out.

24
Add Hydrochloric Acid (PDA)

• When taking minerals for optimum absorption
• Prevent osteoporosis
• calcium supplements PDA
• Support the nervous system
• calcium magnesium PDA
• Prevent cramping of muscles
• potassium magnesium PDA
• Prevent and/or treat canker sores
• calcium PDA

25
Add Hydrochloric Acid (PDA)

• When eating protein for optimum break-down into
  amino acids
• Production of HCl is highest in the morning
• We eat the most protein in the evening
• The more protein eaten in a meal, the more PDA
  should be taken.

26
Digestive Distress Ulceration of Lining
Ulcers

• Acid in stomach buffered by sodium lining

27
Digestive DistressUlcers

• 500,000 new cases of ulcers in the United States
  every year, with as many as 4 million
  recurrences.
• Bleeding is the most common complication of
  ulcers. It may result in anemia, vomiting blood,
  or the passage of bright red blood through the
  rectum. The mortality rate from ulcer hemorrhage
  is 6-10.
• Gene Hughes
• "High acid stomach" is misnomer

28
Ulcers

• Causes
• Chronic lack of HCl causing poor digestion
• Use of aspirin and non-steroid anti-inflammatory
  drugs
• 85 of ulcers are caused by H. pylori bacteria,
  which breaks down the protective lining which
  buffers the acid.

29
H. Pylori Bacteria

• What Does the Name Mean?
• "Helico"- Signifying a helical or spiral shape
• "bacter"- Bacterial
• "pylori"- Referring to the pylorus region of the
  stomach, where Helicobacter pylori lives

30
H. Pylori Bacteria

• This bacteria is found in saliva, stomach and
  intestines and is very contagious.
• Two-thirds of the world is now infected.
• It eats holes in the stomach intestinal lining.
• It fools the body into not producing digestive
  enzymes
• It can cause stomach cancer
• It may be asymptomatic (without symptoms)

31
Medical Tests

• Blood antibody test. Sees whether your body has
  made antibodies to H. pylori bacteria. (Blood
  test will always show positive once you have had
  H. pylori.)
• Urea breath test. Checks to see if you have H.
  pylori bacteria in your stomach.
• Stool antigen test. Checks to see if substances
  that trigger the immune system to fight an H.
  pylori infection are present in your feces.
• Stomach biopsy. A sample of the lining of your
  stomach and small intestine. (Stomach scope may
  show negative if you have done the treatment even
  if the bacteria is regrowing.)
• None of these is 100 accurate.

32
Medical Treatment of H. Pylori

• Because it is bacterial,
• antibiotics are prescribed
• Given for too short a time (usually 10 days) to
  be effective
• Destroys beneficial bacteria
• Depresses the immune system
• Does nothing to repair the damaged lining

33
Natural Treatment of H. Pylori

• Kill the Bacteria (minimum of 3 months)
• Repair the Stomach and Intestinal Linings
• (2-4 weeks)
• Deal with the Pain (1-5 days)
• Prevent Future Infection (On-going)

34
Natural Treatment of H. Pylori Kill the Bacteria

• Gastro Health To kill the bacteria
• Developed and patented by Natures Sunshine
  Products over a five-year period.
• Combination of herbs that kill H. pylori without
  destroying the beneficial bacteria.

35
Natural Treatment of H. Pylori -

• Suggested Dosage
• Follow bottle direction for one month. In the
  Second and third month, drop the bedtime dosage.
• Three bottles the first month two bottles each
  month thereafter for 3-6 months

36
Natural Treatment of H. Pylori -Repair Stomach
and Intestinal Lining

• Intestinal Soothe and Build
• Combination of herbs that repair mucosal lining
• 2 capsules per meal (2 bottles total)

37
Natural Treatment of H. Pylori -Repair Stomach
and Intestinal Lining

• Aloe Vera 100 juice A source of natural sodium
  to help repair the lining
• (Many competitors dilute their aloe)
• Suggested Amounts
• Juice - 1 ounce twice daily (2 bottles total) or
• Freeze-dried capsules
• 1 capsule twice daily (1
  bottle total)

38
Natural Treatment of H. PyloriDeal with the Pain

• Stomach-Comfort
• One bottle needed
• Aluminum-free antacid
• Calcium carbonate plus herbs
• Laboratory tests prove it absorbs more stomach
  acid than the three leading brands.
• Use as needed for stomach pain.
• If no pain, no need for this product.

39
Prevent Future Infection

• Start taking PDA and/or Food Enzymes, (inhibits
  growth of bacteria), two weeks after healing has
  taken place.
• Avoid everyone elses saliva!
• Water bottles
• Food (double dipping tasting off someone elses
  plate)
• Kissing
• Consider having your family, especially your
  spouse, do this program.

40
Prevent Future Infection

• Spray Silver Shield on your toothbrush every time
  you use it or soak it in the Silver between uses
  to kill any bacteria growing on it
• or
• Brush with XyliBrite Toothpaste which creates an
  unfriendly environment for bacteria.

41
How Long Does This Take?

• It is important not to stop this program until
  all bacteria have been killed.
• It takes a MINIMUM of three months to kill this
  and can take up to six months.
• You will know it is dead when you can eat
  anything without any intestinal discomfort, gas,
  or bloating.

• Heartburn
• Nothing to do with the heart
• H. Pylori damage to lining
• Hiatal Hernia
• Stomach acid going up the esophagus
• Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease given a
  disease name so drugs can be sold for it
• Caused by poor digestion producing gas

45
Additional Problems

• Esophageal Cancer is now on the rise
• 16,000 new cases every year.
• Acid coming up the esophagus damages the cells.
• Bad Breath

  alkalize the acids. If more than half of your
  food is not raw, you need enzymes!
• Food Enzymes contains enzymes to break down
  protein, carbohydrates, and fat
• Proactazyme Plus vegetarian formula to break
  down protein, carbohydrates, and fat

47
Organs That Assist in Digestion The Liver

• Over 100,000 chemical conversions daily
• Filters majority of chemicals in food, air, and
  water
• Assists in digestion of fats so they can be used
  for energy (with weight problems, look to the
  liver)

48
Organs That Assist in Digestion The Liver

• To accomplish detoxification on a daily basis,
  the liver needs
• Vitamins and Minerals Super Supplemental or
  Super Trio
• Antioxidants to deal with free radicals that are
  produced with cleansing (Thai-Go or Super ORAC in
  Super Trio)
• Fiber to carry off the toxins

49
Supporting the Liver
50
