HUH?

Why does she have to give her full name and residence address?

Isn't that too much personal information for this forum?

Nutritional/Functional Medicine:

Optimal Health is as Easy as 1-2-3

 

The Nutritional Medicine principles support the following: 1) better

digestion and assimilation of foods through the use of probiotics and

enzymes; 2) better nutrition through nutrient rich food supplements

and; 3) increased protection against free radical damage (oxidative

stress) through whole food antioxidants. Tens of thousands of people

have used this health model to help themselves from many chronic

degenerative conditions. Additionally, many of the studies and books

written by Nutritional Medicine doctors give us the scientific reasons

behind why this specific health model and the supplements used have

helped with many health related conditions. Today there is a very

large number of alternative, allopathic and naturopathic doctors

practicing the Nutritional Medicine approach to health.

 

What Is Nutritional/Functional Medicine?

 

Nutritional Medical physicians believe that most degenerative

conditions have their origin in the malfunction of the digestive tract

and liver elimination processes. In other words, illness can be

directly related to problems of the digestive and liver detoxification

systems and their related influence on immune, nervous and endocrine

system functions. Therefore, when the health of the digestive and

liver detoxification systems is addressed, the body is given the

opportunity to reverse many degenerative conditions. If the

degenerative condition is labeled lupus, diabetes, or arthritis, etc.,

a Nutritional Medicine doctor will first recommend addressing the

health of the gastrointestinal tract. Once the GI tract is well, then

the liver detoxification system should be supported and strengthened.

 

Today, through the efforts of Nutritional Medicine, we have hundreds

of clinical studies and pieces of scientific research that confirm

what many of us have heard so often from folk medicine practitioners:

" Stomach problems are the cause of all ills " or " Death begins in the

colon. "

 

Jeffrey Anderson, M.D., wrote an article called " How Problems with

Digestion Can Cause Illness Anywhere " , and in this article he explains

why you should address the health of the gastrointestinal tract first,

no matter what the name of the degenerative condition. He explains

that " new information on the dynamics of the body make it clear that

conditions in the digestive tract affect the entire system " (Nichols,

et al., 1999, p.125). The " ...degradation of the gastrointestinal

environment is one of the primary points at which health is lost. What

we now know is that the same toxins associated with GI dysfunction are

frequently absorbed and distributed to other parts of the body. First

they place a burden on the liver and the immune system. If liver

overload occurs, there will be spill over, and some of the toxins will

be passed on to other organs or tissues " (p. 125).

 

" Often, it's a weak link in the system that will be hit by the damage

- an organ that can be anywhere in the body that is most likely to be

vulnerable. The vulnerability may be inherited, caused by physical

injury, toxic exposure, or poor diet " (p.125). For example, " if the

sensitive system is the lungs, toxins that originate in the gut and

circulate in the bloodstream may manifest as asthma or allergies " (p.125).

 

Len Saputo, M.D., in his article, " Harmful Flora " , also believes that

if the gastrointestinal tract goes out of balance and the liver

detoxification system breaks down, our entire immune system can

malfunction in three ways. First, it can be weakened and the result

called an immune suppression disease. Second, it can overreact and

become hyperresponsive to normal stimuli; this occurs in asthma,

migraine, and food allergies. Third, a malfunctioning immune system

can cause auto immune reactions, where antibodies target our own

tissues, as in rheumatoid arthritis or lupus (p.60).

 

Jerry Stine, M.D., in his article, " How Digestion Works " , explains

that the gastrointestinal tract is the largest immune organ in our

body. Eighty percent of all our protective immune globulins are

produced in the digestive tract (p.16). It doesn't take a rocket

scientist to see that when this large, strategically placed immune

system member isn't working well, our defenses are lowered and once

our barriers are down, it becomes more difficult to defend against

invaders.

 

Nutritional/Functional Medicine Strategies To Reverse Degenerative

Conditions

 

Nutritional Medicine doctors including the three above mentioned, Dr.

Jeffrey Anderson, Dr. Len Saputo and Dr. Jerry Stine, believe that

cleansing and supporting the GI tract and the liver can and will clear

the body of any and most degenerative conditions.

 

* First you detox the GI tract.

* Then get the liver detox system working.

* And finally clean up the downstream consequences, which includes

the toxins in the tissues and cells.

 

Nutritional Medicine doctors believe that you can't deal with the

downstream conditions (symptoms in the body such as lupus,

arthritis,....etc.), until you've treated the upstream problem(s) in

the gut and liver (p.132). When you clean up the upstream issues and

the liver, then the downstream consequences tend to go away.

 

Nutritional/Functional Medicine Solution for Most Degenerative

Conditions. The 4Rs Solution

 

1) Remove: Abnormal kinds/amounts of intestinal microorganisms

(parasites, bacterial pathogens, small intestinal overgrowth such as

yeast, and food antigens. This can be done by repairing " leaky "

intestinal membranes.

 

2) Replace: Hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and fiber deficiency can be

addressed and replaced with friendly bacteria, digestive enzymes and

fiber supplements.

 

3) Restore: Symbiotic bacteria and GI bacteria through the use of full

spectrum friendly bacteria (L. acidophilus, B. bifidus, L.

planetarium, L. salivarius, L. bulgaricus, etc.).

 

4) Repair: Replace or augment with nutrients necessary to support

healing of intestinal lining, plus adequacy of calories, and adequacy

of fiber. Support the liver detoxification system through the use of

antioxidants and food based nutritional supplements (pp. 181-182).

 

The Difference is in the Quality Of The Nutritional Supplements

 

There are a multitude of allopathic and naturopathic doctors

practicing Nutritional Medicine today, and they recommend supporting

better digestion, better nutrition, and better protection against

oxidative stress. However, when it comes to supplements, most

Nutritional Medicine doctors recommend standard man-made supplements

in their isolated, single, separated or chemically-manufactured form,

such as zinc, copper, vitamins B, C, E and beta carotene, to reverse

degenerative conditions. However, there are better alternatives than

man-made supplements; i.e. organic whole food supplements. Whole food

supplements are far superior in their quality and effectiveness for

reversing degenerative processes in the human body because they are

produced in their natural and complex configuration.

 

Why whole food products work better is based on the philosophy that

the human body is a marvelously designed living organism with the

ability to grow, regulate, repair, and defend itself when given

natural, high quality, full spectrum nutrients.

 

If your goal is to promote good health for yourself, may we recommend

that you address these body functions with the following wholefood

supplements and remember that optimal health is " as easy as 1-2-3 " :

 

1. Better digestion and assimilation of foods through the use of

probiotics (http://tinyurl.com/24ajq and http://tinyurl.com/26rur)

and enzyme (http://tinyurl.com/mkwo) supplements.

2. Better nutrition through food based supplements (consuming

nutrient rich foods such as wheat grass, bee pollen, blue green algae

(http://tinyurl.com/g1iz and http://tinyurl.com/a78qa) ...etc.).

3. Better protection against free radical damage (oxidative stress)

through whole food supplements (wheat sprouts, red algae, wheat grass

( http://tinyurl.com/6vxtu) ...etc.).

 

With the use of whole food supplements you can improve the GI tract

environment, decrease the burden of the toxins and thereby take the

stress off the liver. With less toxins there is less need for a

constant high level defense effort and everything in the body just

starts to work better. Dr. Jeffrey Anderson summarizes the whole

concept of healing so beautifully when he said: " you can't deal with

the downstream problems (symptoms in the body) until you have

addressed the upstream problem(s) (i.e., malfunctions in the gut) " (p.

132).
