Editor's Notes

• #3: Started self-educating about Nutrition after serious illness Endometriosis Noticed a huge difference after changing my diet and beginning a regular exercise program Became fascinated with ayurvedic medicine, Herbs, tinctures, homeopathy, acupuncture & Chinese herbs, sugar and its effects, food combining, blood type diet Decided to go back to school and learn more. Graduated from Bauman Holistic Nutrition + Chef School n 2010. Began teaching Nutrition in schools,, networking events, conferences, festivals, and corporations,. I am an “Environmental” Nutritionist. My focus is on *Seasonal Healthy Eating, *Building a Better Immunity, Green Household Makeovers, *Healthy Back Pain Relief, Digestive Disorders, Insomnia, *Staying Healthy on the Road, Detoxification Programs, and designing & implementing Corporate Health + Wellness Programs..
• #5: Your Immune System protects the body by identifying and killing bacteria, viruses, parasites, and tumor cells that would otherwise harm the body.
• #6: 2 Causes for Immune Breakdown: Deficiency & Toxicity (according to many, and most favorably, Raymond Francis) **Show Book We are only going to cover 3 out of these 6 Pathways today. It goes without saying that personal therapy goes a long way with reducing effects from trauma and addictions. Genetic Markers for Disease can be turned off or on by good or poor nutrition, we do know this.
• #8: **Building materials made using formaldehyde. Household products that contain asbestos include: wall & ceiling insulation, stove and furnace insulation, pipe insulation, vinyl flooring, patching compounds & textured paints Great Resource for looking up how toxic a product is, visit www.ewg.org or www.skindeep.org !! Humidity – not strictly speaking an air pollutant, but the amount of water vapor in the air can affect indoor air quality & pollution levels
• #11: Sugar – excessive intake leads to chronic diseases by creating inflammation, and acid/alkaline imbalance, shutting down the immune system for 6-8 hours & affects every organ in the body (Mercola, 2006) (Dufty, 1975) Transfats - Consuming hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats found in commercial vegetable oils such as Canola, Corn, or Vegetable, have nothing beneficial to offer and can contribute to Cancer and Heart Disease (Enig, Know Your Fats, 2000) (Planck, 2006) Refined food products - Additives such as genetically modified substances, food coloring, preservatives, sulfites, sodium nitrites, nitrates, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, pesticides & MSG are unnatural toxic chemicals being put into our food that adversely affect the body by creating inflammation, suppressing the immune system & making it more susceptible to disease. (Trudeau, 2004) (Cutler, 2001) Microwaving food, especially in plastic - There have been studies that show microwaving food changes the nutrient value and the cell structure of food and therefore affecting human cells. (Haas, Staying Healthy with Nutrition) Irradiating food - alters the fatty acid content as well as creates agents such as formaldehyde and benzene, both cancer causing free radicals which set off chain reactions in the body that destroy antioxidants, tear apart cell membranes, and make the body more susceptible to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, liver damage, muscular breakdown, and other serious health problems. (Barbee, Politically Incorrect Nutrition) Commercial Dairy & Meat products - contain growth hormones & antibiotics. Dairy that has been pasteurized and homogenized has significant destructive effects on the body as pointed out by Ron Schmid, Thomas Levy, and Frank Oski, all of whom have written books on the topic. (Schmid, Levy, & Oski, 2003; 2001; 1996)
• #13: Mixing fruits with carbs is “ok” but best eaten alone. Exceptions are diabetics or people with blood sugar issues.. Or anyone with candida/yeast overgrowth seeking relief The goal here is to give your digestive system every possible chance to break down food properly.
• #16: Water – Listed below are some toxic chemicals found in our water currently (Kahuna Kupua A'o, 1996) Fluoride – is carcinogenic and more than 10,000 cancer deaths per year are linked to fluoridated water! (Dadd, Home Safe Home, 2004) Lead – is poisonous and accumulates in body Arsenic – is poisonous, carcinogenic & accumulates in body Chlorine – is carcinogenic Hydrogen Sulfide – is poisonous Nitrates/Nitrites – are poisonous and can accumulate in the body Radon – is carcinogenic Medications Get your water tested and buy a water filter – I recommend Aquasana for best price/best value http://www.aquasana.com/ . Someone who weighs 200 pounds would drink 100 ounces of water daily – someone who weighs 150 pounds would drink 75 ounces of water daily – everything counts except sodas because they are too damaging to the health. Teas, juices mixed with half water, broths, watery fruits, etc.. Show my Oxygen Drops as example.
• #17: Use Essential Oils in a Diffuser – Show Diffuser (have it on and pumping out immunity mist) Reduce your caffeine intake – coffee depletes you of vitamins and minerals, suppresses the absorption of proteins, and puts a lot of stress on your liver. (Tombak, Can We Live 150 Years?, 2003) (Haas, The New Detox Diet, 2004)
• #18: Humidity – not strictly speaking an air pollutant, but the amount of water vapor in the air can affect indoor air quality & pollution levels
• #22: Hand out my EHW Guide to Health
• #23: (Haas, Staying Healthy with Nutrition, 1992)
