Nutritional Stress

I’ve written previously about the relationship between stress and disease. And surely you know that stress is a primary cause in many of the major health problems facing our nation today. What you may not know, however, is that stress can be caused by the foods you eat. This type of stress is known as nutritional stress.

Stress and Nutrition

The most common types of stress are considered to be emotional or physical (chronic pain, injury, or trauma) in nature. A third category of stress is environmental, and is caused by toxins in our air, water, and land, as well as in many commercially produced foods. All of these types of stress are dangerous in and of themselves. What makes matters worse is that each of these types of stress can lead to poor eating choices, which can lead to additional stress and further set you up for disease to strike.

Common examples of poor eating habits caused in reaction to stress are:

Binging on so-called “comfort foods” high in fats, sugars, salt, and/or refined carbohydrates, all of which are bad for your health.

Missed meals due to feelings of anxiety, depression, or simply “not feeling hungry.”

Mindless eating, as in snacking on comfort and/or junk foods throughout the day, and even eating otherwise healthy foods beyond your body’s daily caloric needs to unconsciously assuage feelings of stress and discomfort.

Dehydration, due to forgetting to drink enough water during the day.

Excess coffee drinking in an effort to cope with the fatigue that can often be caused by stress. Drinking more than one or two cups of coffee a day can also lead to dehydration.

Just as emotional, physical and environmental stress can lead to the poor eating habits listed above, so too can an unhealthy diet can place stress on your body, leading to other types of stress, as well. In essence, stress and an unhealthy diet combine to create an ongoing vicious cycle.

All of the unhealthy eating habits mentioned above can cause nutritional stress. However, the primary cause of nutritional stress is more encompassing and is known as the “standard American diet,” rightfully referred to as S.A.D. The SAD diet typically includes most of the elements listed above, but its primary characteristic is a diet that is high in refined (simple) carbohydrates and unhealthy fats and low in healthy, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential fatty acids. It also typically is deficient in fresh vegetables and contains an excessive amount of animal protein foods, as well as foods containing various unhealthy additives.

Over time, the SAD diet can lead to a wide variety of health problems, in addition to other types of stress. That’s because the SAD diet is very lacking in the essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, enzymes, and other nutritional factors) that your body needs each day in order to stay healthy and optimally function. A continued deficiency of such nutrients leads to problems in many aspects of your body’s overall health, including a breakdown of proper functioning of organs and organ systems, such as the endocrine system. Therefore, it’s not surprising that nutritional stress is one of the leading causes of so many of our nation’s most serious health conditions, including arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.

Preventing and Reversing Nutritional Stress

Fortunately, there is an easy and effective solution that you can use to combat nutritional stress. As you might expect, it all starts with eating more healthily. And one of the most important keys to eating healthy is to make sure that the meals you eat accomplish two vital goals:

1. The foods that make up each of your meals should be “nutrient dense.” This means that they are packed with the nutrients your body needs, in contrast to the foods that make up the SAD diet, which are wholly lacking in essential nutrients. Scientists and physicians alike now agree that eating nutrient dense foods is even more important to your overall health than counting calories, an excess of which can lead to obesity and other health problems.

2. You also want to be sure that the majority of the foods you eat at each meal have an alkalizing effect on your body once they are digested and metabolized. In recent years, the importance of an alkaline diet has leapt to the forefront of the recommendations nutritionally oriented physicians make to their patients, with good reason. That’s because more and more doctors are recognizing that the main cause of all illness stems from disruption of the body’s pH balance, resulting in over-acidity in the body’s cells, tissues, and organs.

Both of these goals can be achieved very simply. All you have to do is make sure that all of your meals primarily consist of fresh, raw or steamed vegetables. Raw or lightly steamed vegetables are among the most nutrient dense and highly alkalizing foods you can eat, and when they make up the largest part of your meals, they can quickly start to shift your body into greater and greater levels of health. In addition, fresh vegetables (as well as fresh fruits, which are best eaten by themselves as snacks during the day) require far less energy from your body in order to be digested than do other food groups. That’s because they are rich in enzymes that are needed for healthy digestion. Because raw or lightly steamed vegetables are rich in enzymes, your body does not need to use its own enzyme supply to digest them. This helps your body to conserve energy and to be able to use its energy supply for other needs other than digestion. (Note: Fruits and vegetables that are prepared using other cooking methods beyond steaming lack such enzymes because they are destroyed by the cooking process.)

In addition, you also want to include healthy, complex carbohydrates in your meals, as well as healthy protein foods, such as wild-caught fish and free-range poultry. To ensure that your body gets an adequate supply of the essential fatty acids it needs each day (especially omega-3 oils), you should also get in the habit of using olive oil for one of your meals. (The easiest way to do this is to add olive oil, along with a sprinkle of lemon juice, to a fresh, raw salad each day.)

Because it provides both of the above benefits, many doctors todayrecommend that their patients follow the Mediterranean Diet, which is the only diet clinically proven to result in a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and other disease conditions. For additional tips on how you can quickly and easily create healthy, alkalizing meals, I also recommend The Acid-Alkaline Food Guide, which I co-wrote with Dr. Susan Brown, one of our nation’s foremost nutritional experts. You can find our book at your local bookstore or at Amazon.com. (To order from Amazon, use this link: http://tinyurl.com/7uk8no.)

In addition to eating well, regular exercise is also important for reducing and preventing nutritional stress. That’s because exercise, when combined with a healthy diet, helps to keep us biologically young. So try to exercise at least three times a week, for at least 30 minutes per day. For best results, try to combine aerobic exercise with resistance (strength training). One of the easiest ways you can do this is to take a brisk 30 minute walk three or more times a week while holding light weights in each hand (2 to 2.5 lbs per hand). As you walk, pump your arms up and down in time with your breathing.

Low-Carb Diets Do Not Have to be Stressful or Boring by Dr. Phil Domenico

In a study comparing an Atkins-type diet with a reduced-calorie regime, Tufts University scientists reported that low-carb diets may impair cognitive performance (D’Anci 2009). Since glucose is the brain’s primary fuel, the need for it may not be met when restricting carbohydrates.

Granted, some people fare poorly when carbs are spared, and not just on cognitive tasks. Many also suffer mild to major anxiety or irritability, especially in the early (induction) stages of the diet. Some folks are just built that way, and may need to increase carb intake slightly while dieting. Others endure the initial stress to reap immediate benefits. Hands down, there is no faster way to lose weight, while improving metabolic health. The degree of discomfort depends largely on the choices you make.

It may take a while for the body to adjust to fat burning. Liver and muscle cells are quite capable of converting certain amino acids (i.e., glutamine, alanine, leucine) to sugar. Also, the body has an enormous supply of energy stored as fat, which can be converted to sugar as well. However, the conversion from fat back to sugar is chemically slow, especially early on. There are also foods and supplements that support this conversion and low-carb diets. Essentially, there is a right way and a wrong way. Most people would benefit from consulting a naturopath, nutritionist or physical trainer while undergoing weight loss.

If you insist on doing it on your own, do it wisely. It’s not as simple as eating meat, eggs and cheese. That’s the mistaken notion most people have of the Atkins Diet. Over time, Atkins changed his thinking on the ideal low-carb approach. It is a diet in progress. Many other carb-restricted diets have played a part in this evolution, including the Zone, South Beach, and Protein Power plan. Some diets are technically low-carb, while others are more low-glycemic. The latter restricts carb intake to foods that are slowly digested, while also incorporating carb restriction. “Fast” carbs spike insulin and stress the pancreas, which can lead to obesity and diabetes. Sugar and its metabolites are also “sticky”. They glom onto and destroy proteins and other biological molecules in blood, which slowly hardens the arteries, impairs circulation and accelerates aging. Carbs, especially refined carbs, are also highly acid-forming in the body, which can eat away at bones if not balanced with alkaline foods. Indeed, sugar and starchy foods are the main culprits behind the epidemic of chronic illness in Western societies.

The best alternative is a high-protein diet. However, there are many issues with animal foods. They can be high in unhealthy fats and toxins, especially if not organic. Those toxins get stored in human fat tissue after ingestion. As the weight drops, toxins are released, which can damage brain cells, making it even more uncomfortable to lose weight. Perhaps some of the cognitive impairment seen with rapid weight loss may be due to nerve damage. Animal foods are also highly acid forming, and could affect bone health. So, make your meat portions small and organic, and fill the rest of the plate with greens. It is best not to add carbs to such a meal, as they do not digest well when combined with high protein foods (except for berries), and the meal becomes doubly acidic. Generally, eat fruit separately from other foods, and choose less sweet or starchy varieties. Also, eat the whole fruit, not juice, which is a concentrated carb. Nevertheless, small amounts of pomegranate, goji, acai or other antioxidant-rich juices or beverages (e.g., tea) are quite acceptable. To improve digestion, drink them about 30 minutes before mealtime to help neutralize free radicals generated from eating a big meal.

Those who need extra carbs should not resort to refined, processed foods. Make moderate allowances for good carbs by choosing berries, apples (with skin), yams (with skin), beans, barley, brown rice and whole grains. Some of these foods are loaded with potassium, which counteracts the acidity of carbohydrate and protein foods. Those on a low-carb diet may eventually want to add a few good carbs back into the diet as well. Sprouted grains and beans are also quite nutritious, especially when eaten raw, so learn how to make your own sprouts. It’s quite simple, and can be spiritually uplifting, like growing a garden. Bread made from sprouted whole grains is a super treat. Dip it into hummus made with sprouted chickpeas to increase protein quality. Alternatively, spread almond butter on bread, or make a guacamole dip. Avocados are one of the best choices on the low-carb palette. Eat several daily, if it pleases you.

Reducing carbs to 20 grams per day can be tough on most people, but the weight melts like butter. One of the criticisms of the Tufts study above is that no weight was lost, which puts in question the design or compliance rate for the study. The researchers allowed the women to self-select their diets, to ensure the best possible compliance, but it may be better to lend an expert’s touch to such austere diets. It is almost impossible not to lose weight on a low-carb diet, especially one designed to support health, so something was not right with that study.

In the Tufts study, the low-carb dieters had slower reaction times and diminished memory, but they did better than the low calorie control group in attention tests. Previous studies have also shown that low-carb diets can improve attention span. These data beg a few questions, like how is it possible to be more attentive but less capable of remembering? Should a low-carb diet be recommended for people with ADHD? (Note that carbs can incite ADHD in children). Unfortunately, many of these diet studies don’t account for many facets of health. More than likely, a nutritionally balanced, low-carb diet would have served to improve both attention and learning.

The Tufts scientists concluded that the brain needs glucose for energy, and diets low in carbohydrates can be detrimental to learning, memory and thinking. However, all low-carb diets are not created equal. A person can’t just eat bacon and cheese and expect to fare well, short term or long. A low-carb diet must serve the needs of a person’s metabolic type, and must be predicated on the healthiest foods, such as non-starchy veggies, fish, organic animal foods (especially eggs) and selected fruits. There are also vitamin and mineral supplements that support cognitive health when dieting. Nutrients like chromium, magnesium, zinc, alpha-lipoic acid, and fiber help to balance blood sugar. There are even commercial alkalizers containing minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium) that offset the acidity of high protein diets. Black pepper is highly alkaline forming, and also increases absorption of vitamins and minerals, so add it liberally to food.

The trick is to make the right choices. A high protein, leucine-rich diet, combined with moderate carbohydrate restriction (~150 grams daily), was shown to support weight loss, blood sugar metabolism, cardiovascular and cognitive health (Layman and Walker, 2006). During weight loss, muscle mass and bone are easily lost. The amino acid leucine—most abundant in whey protein—prevents muscle loss during dieting. Leucine also helps insulin work more efficiently, helping to preserve muscle mass and transport of glucose into muscles for fuel. On a high-protein diet, weight lost is mostly from fat, not muscle. The reverse is true on a high-carbohydrate diet. High-protein, leucine-rich diets also support HDL (good cholesterol) formation and lower triglycerides, which helps the brain acclimate to fewer calories. Bioactive peptides in whey also help regulate appetite. To support bone health, calcium is important, but must be balanced with magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 and boron, most of which are not readily available in foods. Fortunately, there are several good supplements that support bone, especially on a high-protein diet.

On a high protein diet, carbs must be restricted to induce fat burning. Yet, reducing carbs may also reduce fiber intake, so it pays to sprinkle yogurt, soup or salad with brain-healthy (omega-3) flax meal, and eat plenty of non-starchy veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds and sprouted beans. Also consider a high quality multivitamin, which provides many nutrients that enhance cognitive function, including the B complex, choline, inositol, zinc, iodine, chromium, and antioxidants. Chromium picolinate has been shown to promote serotonin (the feel-good hormone), which may help soften the edge of dieting. Chelated magnesium has also been shown to improve mood.

Not all proteins are created equal, either. While animal or soy protein is acid forming, and potentially bad for bones, whey protein is slightly alkaline, and can help increase bone mineral density. The key again is to balance acidic foods with alkaline veggies and fruits (lemons and limes are highly alkaline forming). Whey protein is ideal, but for vegetarians, hemp seed is another great alkalizing, complete source of protein. Fermented soy protein powder (Jarrow Formulas has a nice product) is also more alkaline and nutritious than conventional soy products. High quality proteins also contain several key amino acids for cognitive functioning. The amino acid tryptophan (with vitamin B6) is necessary for serotonin production, and the amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine are converted to dopamine, which leads to mental alertness and improved memory. Again, a high-protein, low-carb diet needs to be designed to support healthy metabolism, while not damaging the body, or impairing cognitive performance.

Clearly, people are not all the same metabolically. Some can eat carbs all day and not gain a pound, while others get fat just looking at them. There are many different ways to lose weight, according to your body type. A recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine showed that a low-fat or Mediterranean diet was almost as effective as a low-carb diet for long-term weight loss (Shai 2008). At first, the low-carb diet provided 20 grams of carbohydrates per day, but was gradually raised to 120 grams over several months. Low-carb subjects were directed to choose vegetarian sources of fat and protein and to avoid trans fats. The authors concluded that it is possible to tailor the diet to accommodate individual preferences. Nevertheless, for most people, low-carb diets will help shed more pounds and optimize blood lipids, especially if other healthy lifestyle changes are employed.

A low-carb regimen changes one from a carb burner to a fat burner. Some types of people freak out during this period, lose their memory, get depressed, nervous or hysterical. But, if you do it right for your metabolic type and stick with it, these difficulties are minor and soon abate. And, if you support it with the right foods and supplements, no one should experience much difficulty.

By the way, it’s OK to cheat once in a while. Just reward yourself for living a disciplined life. And, if you do cheat, there are some really tasty, healthy fiber-rich, whole grain breads out there. Look for a low-carb sprouted grain or hemp bread, or pasta, and reward yourself often.

Cancer Regression by Marie-Anne Boularand

Research Studies Reveal That Some Cancers Can Regress On Their Own

On November 26^th, 2008, the New-York Times, Washington Post, USA Today and CNN published the results of a research study on breast cancer conducted by a group of American and Norwegian researchers. Their study, recently published in the Nov. 24 issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine, reveals that “even invasive cancers may sometimes go away without treatment and in larger numbers than anyone ever believed.”

For years, doctors and researchers claimed relentlessly that cancer could not go away on its own. They reported some cases though, but they were so rare that they judged it was not important enough to seriously take them into consideration. Those rare cases were melanomas and kidney cancers that just vanished, some neuroblastomas in children that went away without any treatments and finally some breast cancers.

“Too rare”, meaning insignificant according to the medical field to take the time to understand how those spontaneous cures could happen. “Too rare”, in fact, to even bother to inform the public on the possibility of spontaneous healing. “Too rare”, finally, a good excuse to avoid the fall of the entire medical system and its huge profits!

The alternative medicine arena has been struggling to bring scientific proof of possible spontaneous remission of cancer even though many cases are reported every year from patients who refused any conventional and even sometimes alternative treatments. “No scientific proof supports the possibility of spontaneous healing of cancers”, a powerful argument that the conventional medical field has used for decades to destroy and ridicule the successful results obtained with unconventional approaches. And for good reason “… since almost every cancer that is detected is treated, it seemed impossible even to ask what would happen if cancers were left alone”. Therefore the majority of conventional doctors and researchers don’t have a clue of what the evolution of cancer would be if not treated.

A question arises though: Are all cancers bad and life-threatening? Do all cancers need the therapeutic “death sentence” protocol? If not, like the research study shows, it would change the whole picture about cancer.

“If the spontaneous remission hypothesis is credible, it should cause a major re-evaluation in the approach to breast cancer research and treatment,” wrote Dr. Kaplan, of the University of California, and Dr. Franz Porzsolt of the University of Ulm, Germany, in an editorial that accompanied the journal article about their study. According to the statement of the Washington Post, “Cancer experts have long suspected that some cancers may grow and then, for reasons that are unclear, simply shrink and disappear.” “The problem is, we don’t know the natural history of cancer,” says Dr. Jay Brooks, chairman of hematology/oncology at Ochsner System in Baton Rouge, LA. He adds: “I am sure there are some that do regress. The problem is we can’t pick up those that are going to regress. It’s one of the unanswerable questions.”

Yet, there is one man who found the answer to the “unanswerable question”. His name is Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, a successful German Doctor who worked several years in different university hospitals in Germany, who also elaborated several patented surgical instruments that are still used today in hospitals around the world. His discoveries on the origin and natural healing of cancer found their root in a tragic life event that stroked doctor Hamer and his family.

In August 1978, Dr. Hamer’s son, named Dirk, was accidentally shot by an Italian Prince of the House of Savoy while he was asleep in a boat. Dirk battled with death for several months before he passed away on December 1978. Three years after the tragic event, Dr. Hamer was diagnosed with a testicular cancer, that nothing suggested that such disease might happen. He eventually made a relationship between the disease and the loss of is son. After insatiably studying thousands of cases, he came up with the hypothesis that all cancers were triggered by a traumatic emotional conflict shock, that he called a D.H.S., which stands for Dirk Hamer Syndrom, in memory of his late son.

In the case of testicular carcinoma, the emotional conflict associated to it is a “great loss conflict”, which is exactly what Dr Hamer experienced a few years earlier by losing his son. He was then able to find the exact emotional conflict related to each cancer. As another example, the biological conflict of breast cancer is a “nest conflict”, an emotional trauma related to a loved one living in the nest (home). Colon cancer is a conflict of “filth”, that can be about “a filthy thing that is hard to eliminate”. As long as the emotional impact remains in the person’s life, mainly on the unconscious level, the disease continues to run. As soon as the person resolves her conflict associated to the symptom, the biological functioning of the “sick” cells is reversed to normal functioning. This happens automatically without any external intervention. That’s how biology works every day! Every day we develop micro diseases and cancers that heal themselves without being aware of anything.

Dr. Hamer’s discoveries go even deeper as he was able to demonstrate the exact course of the evolution of every cancer from start to finish, meaning from the moment of the beginning of the cancer to its complete healing. He explains his discoveries through what he called the Five Biological Laws of Disease, that he wrote in 1981, after confirming them through over 20,000 cases. Today, 75,000 cases confirm his theory. These new biological laws explain, among others, that depending on the embryonic tissue on which the disease develops, the evolution of the illness will vary and follow a specific course, triggering a specific onset of symptoms. These biological laws clarifies what doctors could not figure out so far, why some cancers can heal easily without any further complications and others just seemed to worsen not matter what is done. It brings the crucial answer on why some cancers heal spontaneously and others not. The acknowledgment of those five new biological laws could prevent useless treatments, sufferings and deaths.

Dr. Hamer first submitted his theories in a post-doctoral thesis to the University Hospital of Tubingen, Germany, expecting a qualification as a university lecturer, a highly regarded position. Instead, he was asked to deny his theories by the dean of the university. Dr. Hamer did not only decide to support his findings but he also intended a lawsuit against the university, for refusing to confirm his theories through the mandatory clinical research the university was supposed to conduct for every post doctoral thesis. The trial was the beginning of a lifetime persecution against Dr. Hamer, mainly led by the German and French Medical Board, sending him several times in prison, revoking his medical license, forcing him into silence. Refusing to stay silent, Dr. Hamer continued to spread his discoveries to whomever wanted to listen, until he felt forced into exile out of Europe. As far as today, Dr. Hamer, who is 73 year old, still cannot go back within the European Community and his own country, facing a sentence of immediate imprisonment.

For more than two decades, Dr. Hamer’s discoveries have turned upside down the fundamental theories on cancer from all medicines. And for good reason, he has scientifically proven, without a shadow of a doubt, the biological origin of cancer, the exact stages of its evolution and finally its spontaneous ability to heal on its own.

For over 20 years, his theories have been at the center of interest of thousands of open-minded doctors and researchers, especially Europeans, who conducted numerous clinical studies and confirmed the exactitude of his findings: his theories worked at 100%! These types of results are far from common in medicine and research; it has actually never happened before! So why are his discoveries still not taught in all medical schools if it is so exact? You probably already know the answer as an enlightened reader. If cancer is really not what it is commonly said – an opportunistic and uncontrolled disease - and if it can heal on its own without treatment, then what would happen to the big industry built around the business of cancer?

It’s been 28 years now that this knowledge is available. And thousands of people are still poisoned, mutilated and then finally die in agony every year all around the globe. In Europe, it has been spread for more than 2 decades and it became very popular in the alternative field especially since doctors couldn’t expose themselves by fear of being persecuted and undergo the same fate that Dr. Hamer experienced himself. But thousands of doctors around the world, from oncologists to neurologists, are aware of those findings and work actively in the shadow, supporting patients and alternative practitioners who dare to expose themselves with this type of practice. One official institution though, the university of Travna in the Czech Republic, has openly confirmed and recognized the theories of Dr. Hamer. It is a beginning!

The discoveries of Dr. Hamer have recently been protected under the name of German New Medicine®. In France, his discoveries have been taught for the last 15 years under the name of biological decoding – aka Biodecoding® in the U.S. Over the years, biological decoding has evolved and brought powerful complementary theories and tools to the original findings of Dr. Hamer, offering a more complete and effective healing modality to facilitate the decoding of the conflict at the origin of the disease.

Biodecoding® has been and remains the leading approach to Dr Hamer’s work in France and is taught in the U.S. through the Biodecoding® Institute.

Caveat: Icannot confirm the success rate mentioned in this article, yet a number of my medical colleagues have for years been telling me about the value of Dr. Hamer’s work based on their own examination of it. Additionally, I personally have not known anyone with cancer who did not experience a life trauma prior to their diagnoses. In coming weeks, I will be interviewing Marie-Anne to learn more about BioDecoding. When I do, I will publish the interview in this newsletter. - Larry
