Signs of Lipid (fat) Deficiency

Dry skin
Dry hair falling out
History of the following:
Inability to control blood pressure
Inability to conceive
Spontaneous abortion
Inability to induce labor

This is part 3 in the series. Lipids or fats are the third level in the cascade of dietary stress. If sufficient quantities of carbohydrates or proteins are unavailable for energy due to inadequate intake or a compromised digestive system, the body will use fat to create energy. Therefore, fats are not available to do their assigned tasks which include the production of essential fatty acids which are precursors for prostaglandins. Prostaglandins stimulate contraction of smooth muscle in blood vessels affecting blood pressure. They also promote conception, induce labor, effect spontaneous abortion and regulate transmission of nerve signals. Other lipid related substances like phospholipids and cholesterol are essential for health.

As you can see from the above symptoms, proper fat ingestion as well as digestion and absorption are very important to your overall health. In today's society of misinformation it is imperative now we understand that healthy fats are not the enemy. So please throwaway (or better yet don't purchase) any processed food that says low fat on the label and avoid all on healthy fats which are trans fats and hydrogenated fats. Healthy fats can be found in fresh avocados, walnuts, ground flax seed and h**p hearts to name a few.

The answer to yesterday's symptoms is carbohydrate deficiency.

The tissues prefer to use carbohydrate for energy over both protein and fat. If an inability to fully digest and absorb carbohydrates occur then a cascade of symptoms will be initiated.

Lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance or the ingestion of excessive amounts of simple sugars, including processed foods, processed flours (including pasta) and alcohol can be at cause. Cravings for carbohydrates will occur as the hypothalamus will not have its command for more carbohydrates for energy fully satisfied as the compromised digestive tract can not totally digest and absorb them. The longer this situation is allowed to continue the more damage will be done and symptoms will worsen eventually leading to degenerative diseases.

Supplementing with a high quality digestive enzymes will help restore normal digestive health and eliminate the symptoms of carbohydrate intolerance. A trained Loomis Digestive Health Expert can educate you and suggest dietary changes and the correct enzyme formulations individualized just for your personal case.

50 pounds in 50 days! Thank you Dr. Howard Loomis of the Food Enzyme Institute, for sharing your knowledge. With that knowledge I have been able to create a protocol of Enzymes, Whole Food Nutrition and Exercise which I will be able to share with my clients. Not only did I lose the weight but also my blood sugar levels and blood pressure are now in normal range. I have never felt so good, had so much energy, nor ate so well. Thank you again, Doc!

IF only Founding Father, Dr. Benjamin Rush would have won his argument his way and gave us "Medical Health Freedom" as one of the inalienable rights, what a different America would have today.

The right to do what we want to our own bodies as long as it does not impede on the rights of others (ie. Public Assistance due to poor health choices or abuse of natural or pharmaceutical drugs)
No Monopolistic Pharmaceutical Companies
No forced vaccinations or medical protocols
The right to eat natural foods as God intended, with out government interference
The right to seek the healer of your choice
No government control of the Medical/Pharmaceutical Complex

The above are just a few points but could you only imagine as Americans, what real health freedoms would be available and how many more cures for disease could have been found based freely on American ingenuity, rather than government sanctioned choice of winners and losers.

May we hold dear the Freedoms that we still are allowed and strive for the day when radical free thought, that of the Founding Fathers, can once again be embraced. The American Experiment is still in it's infancy and still must be cradled and nurtured until the time comes that Tyranny in any form is only studied in history books. God Bless America.

Well, I guess if you" blow your horn" long enough someone will listen. If your on Statins, print this study and bring to your MD. If he/she won't read it or refuses to believe it, it's time to get a new MD. This study was of 38,000 participants, it even states that the drug companies have skewed the data to reflect their best interests, shame, shame. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/06/12/high-cholesterol-does-not-cause-heart-disease-new-research-finds/

Cholesterol does not cause heart disease in the elderly and trying to reduce it with drugs like statins is a waste of time, an international group of experts has claimed. A review of research involving nearly 70,000 people found there was no link between what has traditionally been considered “bad”…

Our ever changing food

What’s the problem with wheat? Well, unfortunately a lot! Wheat has been hybridized during the last 50 years to such an extent that it has increased the gluten content exponentially. Not only that, hybridization has created new strains of gluten — one study found 14 new ones.
Gluten-free, gluten intolerant and gluten sensitivity are terms that are becoming more common. How do you know if you have a problem with gluten? The symptoms are many and varied. Digestive problems, headaches, migraines, canker sores, arthritis, poor memory, fatigue, delayed puberty, infertility and skin rashes around the joints are signs of gluten sensitivity.
Fortunately, Dr. Howard Loomis Jr, has just released a new formulation that can help you to digest gluten as well as casein from dairy when you’re not sure of your meals content, like when you’re asked out to dinner. So far the testaments have been remarkable, people who have had to refrain from pasta and breads for years have been able to experience a very satisfying night out at restaurants and have no usual side effects that usually accompany their consumption of gluten. You still want to refrain from gluten and casein from your regular diet but for the times that you’re not sure what the host or restaurant is serving, you can take a a couple of capsules( So it is best to keep a supply with you.)
GLTN Formula is only available by a Certified Loomis Digestive Specialist. PM me for more info.

A reader of this blog ask me to do a post on hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids occur due to bowel and liver stagnation and are characterized by swollen and inflamed veins in the re**um and a**s that cause discomfort and bleeding. Hemorrhoids are a sure sign the colon is overloaded by fatty, oily debris due to insufficient digestion.
Ensure adequate hydration to increase the electrolytes Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium. If the bowels dry out the stools will be harder to pass and contribute to bowel leisons, hemorrhoids or further inflammation.
One of the best ways to get the liver detoxed is to drink the juice of ½ lemon with warm water daily upon rising. Take digestive enzymes to help digest/absorb/eliminate your food better as to take the strain off your liver, pancreas,kidneys and bowels. Take probiotics to help to ensure that you have higher amounts of good flora through the digestive tract as bloating is often contributed to inadequate flora which promotes fermentation, constipation and inflammation which contribute to hemorrhoids and bowel stagnation. Include oils in your diet such as avocados, Cold Water Wild (never farm-raised)fish, raw cold-pressed organic olive oil, Organic cold-pressed coconut oil, organic flaxseed oil, Raw nuts and seeds as oil lubricates the walls of the colon making it easier to pass stools and also reduce inflammation in the body. Never consume canola, corn, cottonseed, soybean, peanut, safflower, sunflower and margarines. Eat more green bitter foods such as parsley, cilantro, radicchio, endive and other dark-green leafy vegetables as these bitter foods promote digestion. Reduce foods such as sugar, wheat, dairy, preserved, processed and refined foods and flour, tea, coffee and alcohol as these may decrease the effectiveness of your digestion and are common irritants to the digestive tract. Try to eat as fresh, local and organic as possible, avoid processed packaged, canned or frozen prepared foods. Purchase Non-GMO, grass fed, free-range, wild, meats and fish, since they are at the top of the food chain and if not organic you can bet on it that they were fed a diet of GMO grains as well as a potent cocktail of pharmaceuticals, “You can pay the farmer now or the pharmacy later”.
Demulcent herbs such as slippery elm or Marshmallow before meals may help to promote healing and soothing of the digestive tract (Formulas are available that include digestive enzymes). Vitamin C (from whole food sources like Rose Hips(not ascorbic acid) and bioflavinoids may help to decrease the reoccurance of hemorrhoids and cleanse the bowel.
Liver and bowel herbs include Dandelion root, Milk thistle, Licorice and Turmeric (again formulations are available that include digestive enzymes).

Aspirin Destroys the Lining of Your Gastrointestinal Tract

Contrary to popular misconceptions, regular aspirin use does not have any health benefits, in fact it causes many side effects. The flawed 1989 study that started the frenzy for millions of people taking a daily regimen of one low dose aspirin, used aspirin buffered with magnesium (Bufferin brand). This type of aspirin, which acted as a magnesium supplement, reduced heart attacks by 44%. It was the magnesium that decreased the incident of heart attacks as further studies have shown using asylicitic acid only.
So if your still on a low dose aspirin regiment you may want to reconsider this protocol. Regular aspirin use also destroys the lining of your gastrointestinal tract, increasing your risk for GERD, Barrett's esophagus,duodenal ulcers, H. Pylori infection, Crohn's disease,diverticulitis disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and intestinal perforations.
In conclusion, the aspirin is not the innocent “wonder drug” that is touted to be. Please watch any medication that you are taking, especially over-the-counter and always search for a natural alternative.
