Unlock Your Gut's Potential: Simple Steps to a Happier Belly!

What is your Stomach and Digestion System telling you? Ouch? Gassy? Bloaty? Constipated? Diarrhea? Depressed? (Your gut is the 2nd Brain!)

Learn how to improve all the above with DNA markers for your Gut community. It’s called the GI Spotlight test!

The GI Spotlight functional wellness test analysis provides an in-depth look into the health of the gut microbiome. The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract contains an ecosystem with more than four trillion microbes, living in a symbiotic relationship with their host, while performing duties essential to the health of the individual, such as assisting with digestion, hormonal balance, immune modulation, and neurotransmitter function.

How does this test benefit You?

Each functional wellness test contains everything necessary, including detailed instructions, on how to noninvasively collect the sample and send it in for analysis. The resulting report contains a unique, comprehensive assessment into many of the key microbes that are essential for human physiology and overall wellness.

This test will help provide insight in the following areas:

  • Check the variety and balance of important microbes and fungi in your gut

  • See how well the walls of your intestines are protecting you from harmful substances

  • Evaluate how well your digestive system is working, including how it breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and moves food along

  • Assess inflammation levels and how well your gut's immune system is functioning"

The results are intended to help inform and guide me to support your overall health with appropriate diet, lifestyle, and nutraceutical suggestions by assessing the status of the microbiome.

Harmful Ingredients In Toothpaste and What To Do About It

While toothpaste is formulated to clean teeth and improve oral health, some ingredients have raised concerns among consumers and researchers for various reasons. It's important to note that the impact of these ingredients can vary based on individual sensitivities, the amount used, and the frequency of exposure. Here are some commonly discussed ingredients that have been flagged for potential concerns regarding teeth, gums, or overall health:

  1. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS): SLS is a surfactant used to create foam and remove debris and stains. Some people find that SLS can irritate their mouth, leading to canker sores or mouth ulcers. There's also a debate about its impact on the mucosal lining of the mouth.

  2. Triclosan: Used in some toothpaste for its antibacterial properties, triclosan has been the subject of scrutiny over potential hormone disruption and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The FDA has banned triclosan from hand and body soaps in the United States, but it can still be found in some toothpaste.

  3. Propylene Glycol: This is a type of alcohol used as a moisture-carrying vehicle and solvent in many toothpastes. While generally recognized as safe in small amounts, some individuals are concerned about its presence in personal care products.

  4. Diethanolamine (DEA): DEA is used to create foam in toothpaste. It has raised concerns due to its potential to react with other ingredients to form N-nitroso diethanolamine (NDEA), a known carcinogen.

  5. Artificial Sweeteners: Ingredients like saccharin and aspartame are used in toothpaste to improve taste. While approved for use, these artificial sweeteners have been the subject of ongoing debate regarding their safety and potential health effects.

  6. Artificial Colors/Dyes: Some toothpastes contain artificial colors or dyes, which some people prefer to avoid due to concerns about allergic reactions or other health impacts.

  7. Fluoride: While fluoride is widely acknowledged for its ability to prevent tooth decay and is considered safe and effective when used as directed, excessive fluoride intake (fluorosis) during tooth development can lead to changes in the appearance of tooth enamel in children. Some people also prefer to avoid fluoride due to concerns about its overall health effects, although these concerns are not supported by mainstream dental health organizations.

  8. Microbeads: Some toothpaste used to include tiny plastic particles (polyethylene microbeads) for abrasive purposes. Concerns about environmental impact and potential accumulation in the body led to their phase-out and bans in many regions.

It's important for consumers to choose toothpaste that meets their health needs and preferences. Reading labels and understanding the function and potential impact of ingredients can help. For those with specific concerns, there are many alternative toothpaste formulations available, including natural and organic options that avoid certain synthetic ingredients. Always consult with a dental professional if you have concerns about the best toothpaste choice for your oral health.

I wish I had photos of my bottom front teeth before I started using this toothpaste. I have nothing else at all to attribute it to, but after only a few weeks of using this, not even every day mind you.......the buildup of tartar that had been at the bottom of the back of my front teeth just FELL OFF in my mouth while I was watching tv! So crazy! I never expected to really notice much at all with this toothpaste. I have made my own colloidal silver for many years now, and have used it in my mouth countless times, and have never experienced anything so noticeable, except that it heals gums SUPER fast, especially when used in a water pik! Anyway, back to the toothpaste......I went looking for a silver toothpaste, and found this! I bought the lemon flavor. Since I use homeopathy, I steer clear of mint toothpastes, or it could antidote the remedies. The lemon flavor is ok. It's not great, could definitely be better, but it's also not bad. Slight bitterness to me. My husband doesn't notice any bitterness, and he likes it, as well. We will definitely keep purchasing this brand! I've used natural toothpastes and powders for my entire life. Never have had fluoride toothpaste, so it's super important for us to have fluoride-free toothpaste, and natural ingredients. I'd love it if they also had other flavors like strawberry, orange, pink grapefruit, lime, grape.....something other than mint as the only other option.
Give it a try, especially if you have tartar buildup! Highly recommend!

I like this product but I bought it for my mom who has dementia. Most older people will have trouble opening this tube. The paste is so dense it takes some hand strength to squeeze out - easy for regular folks but not for the elderly or those with arthritis. Also it’s hard to tell that this is toothpaste. The word “toothpaste” is not prominent enough, so I’ve watched my mom get confused as to what this is. For the next packaging revamp I would suggest researching how effective this bottle is for a wider range of customers. Other than that, great product!

I was quite intrigued by the claims of this product, so I went ahead and purchased one; it did not disappoint. My teeth are the whitest they've ever been, I have less plaque, and I don't have morning breath. After using this toothpaste for a week, I bought two more. Someone said in their review that it caused their gums/teeth to bleed; initially, this also happened to me but I changed my toothbrush and the problem was solved.

Painful UTIs and What To Do About Them!

URINARY TRACT INFECTION 

Lifestyle Recommendations: 

• Stay well-hydrated to facilitate the flushing out of bacteria from the urinary system.

• Urinate at the moment of urging; do not delay as it may increase the risk of bacterial overgrowth.

• Urinate and wash before and after sexual intercourse.  

• Practice good personal hygiene and cleanse genitalia daily. 

• Women should abstain from the use of douches, hygiene sprays, and scented powders. Instead use pure, unscented soap and water. 

• Wear cotton underwear; avoid underwear of silk, polyester, and other lighter material.  

• Avoid wearing thongs and tight-fitting pants/underwear on a regular basis.  

• Avoid sitting for long periods of time; take a break and move/walk after a couple of hours. 

Dietary Tips and Caveats: 

• Avoid all sugars - like high fructose corn syrup and white flour products. As well as refined, high-glycemic, carbohydrates, including cereals and pasta. 

• Drink plenty of filtered water. 

• Avoid dehydrating beverages such as alcohol, caffeinated coffees, and soft drinks. 

• Drink 3-4 glasses per day of unsweetened cranberry juice mixed with water if under 40 years of age (women over 40 may experience bladder irritation from cranberry juice). 

• Get a balance of omega-3 fats (salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines) and omega-9 fats (olive oil, olives, almonds, hazelnuts, and avocados). 

Supplement Recommendations (Designs for Health): 

  • Homeopathic: E. Coli is the common culprit. Our office has this Remedy to specifically target E. Coli.

  • Probiophage DF™: 1- 2 capsules per day with breakfast

  • UT Synergy™: 2 capsules, 3-4 times per day at the onset of symptoms

  • Silvercillin™ Liquid: 1 TBSP, 2 times per day

For Severe Acute Infections:

As part of a maintenance dose in recurrent UTIs:

  • UT Intensive™ Chewables (D mannose and Cranberry): 1 chewable per day along with UT Synergy™


    **If significantly elevated temperature, flank pain, and/or severe burning on urination develop, or if infection persists past several days, a full medical evaluation should be performed and antibiotic therapy considered.


Other Natural Remedies (If you want to purchase these on your own):

*Remember: High Quality Supplements = Greater Results! Don’t skimp on getting the cheapest supplement. You get what you pay for!

  • Cranberry Extract: Cranberry supplements or cranberry juice are often mentioned as a potential preventative measure for UTIs. Some studies suggest that cranberry may help reduce the risk of recurrent UTIs by preventing bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract lining.

  • D-Mannose: D-Mannose is a type of sugar found in cranberries and other fruits. Some people use it as a supplement to help prevent or alleviate UTIs. It is believed to work by preventing bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract lining.

  • Probiotics: Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the gut and urinary tract. Some research suggests that certain probiotic strains may be useful in preventing UTIs.

  • Vitamin C: Vitamin C may help acidify the urine, making it less favorable for the growth of bacteria. It's not a direct treatment for UTIs but can potentially support urinary tract health.

  • Dandelion Root: Dandelion root is sometimes used in herbal remedies for urinary tract health. It is believed to have diuretic properties and may help flush bacteria out of the urinary tract.

  • Garlic: Garlic is known for its potential antibacterial properties and immune system support. Some people use garlic supplements as a natural remedy, but more research is needed to establish its effectiveness for UTIs.

  • Kimchi: Kimchi has a ton of immune-fighting properties. It’s an acquired taste! Be prepared to have a potential garlic smell! Painful UTIs can be harmful to kidneys so you will do what it takes!

Do You Have Parasites?

More than 50% of my immediate family and patients test positive for them! Parasites are organisms that live on or inside another organism (the host) and obtain their nutrients at the expense of the host. They can affect human health in various ways, depending on the type of parasite and the specific host-parasite interaction. Here are some ways parasites can impact our health:

Parasitic infections can cause a wide range of symptoms, and the specific symptoms depend on the type of parasite, the location of the infection in the body, and the overall health of the individual. Common symptoms of parasitic infections can include:

Are You Suffering with Any of the Following Symptoms?

  1. Digestive Disturbances:

    • Diarrhea

    • Constipation

    • Nausea

    • Vomiting

    • Abdominal pain or cramping

    • Gas and bloating

  2. Weight Loss:

    • Unexplained weight loss despite normal eating habits

  3. Fatigue and Weakness:

    • Chronic fatigue

    • Weakness

  4. Skin Issues:

    • Itching, rashes, or hives

    • Sores or lesions on the skin

  5. Aches and Pains:

    • Muscle aches

    • Joint pain

  6. Sleep Disturbances:

    • Insomnia

    • Restlessness during sleep

  7. Anemia:

    • Iron-deficiency anemia

  8. Allergies:

    • Development of new allergies or worsening of existing allergies

  9. Mental Health Symptoms:

    • Anxiety

    • Depression

It's important to note that these symptoms can be caused by various health conditions, and experiencing one or more of these symptoms does not necessarily mean you have a parasitic infection. If you suspect you may have a parasitic infection or are experiencing persistent or severe symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. A healthcare professional can conduct tests to diagnose the specific parasite and recommend appropriate treatment.

Most powerful healing machine in the world?



Your cell is like a battery and it needs to be charged up to be healthy. Thousands of functions are doing their job to get rid of disease based on the charge of the cell. The charge of healthy cells are about 70 millivolts and the charge of a diseased cell like cancer is between 10 and 20 mv. Like fully charged batteries do their job, your cells need to be fully charged like a battery to do their job- to Heal!!!

The proof is in the X-ray
Dr. Blackman who owns this wonderful pemf technology had a fracture in his arm. 9 days later after treatment with the pemf it was completely healed!

Remember not all pemf units are created equal, our unit is the $35,000 Cadillac version and is the most powerful unit i the United States.

There was another case study of a patient who had a MRSA infection and after four 50 minute sessions the MRSA Infection left. It took two weeks to clear.

Integrative Longevity Institute of Virginia studied Paul Webb's bone density. Paul Webb is the owner of Pulse Center where I got my machine. He noted that for a man of his age, he has the bone density of someone in the highest percentile. Paul Webb used this technology to heal himself from pain that crippled him to the point of desperation. Please watch his video here.

Dr. Milner a professor of Cardiology at the National College of natural medicine, has used Pulse center's pemf and has seen results in even Advanced stage of cardiovascular disease.

These are several of many case studies and you can research pemf on the internet just by Googling pemf and cancer or pemf and disease. And you'll see all the research articles are out there for this amazing technology that has been out there for many years.

How To Heal Your Gut

How Does Your Gut Look?

For countless people, indigestion runs rampant and can have hidden gut damage. You can start healing your gut by eating healthier and taking the right supplements.

IgGI Shield from Designs for Health are one of those Supplements.

IgGI Shield has 2 primary healers of the Gut. Immuno-Lin and N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG).

Some potential benefits of ImmunoLin may include:

  1. Boosting immune system function: The immune-supportive substances in ImmunoLin may help improve the function of the immune system by enhancing the body's natural defenses against infection and disease.

  2. Reducing the risk of infections: By improving immune system function, ImmunoLin may help reduce the risk of bacterial, viral, and other types of infections.

  3. Supporting gut health: Some of the proteins in ImmunoLin, such as lactoferrin, may help promote healthy gut bacteria and reduce inflammation in the digestive tract.

  4. Promoting recovery after illness: ImmunoLin may help speed up recovery after illness by supporting the immune system and reducing inflammation.

  5. Supporting overall health: A healthy immune system is essential for overall health and well-being, and by supporting immune system function, ImmunoLin may help promote overall health and vitality.

N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) is a natural compound that is chemically similar to glucose. It is a type of amino sugar that is found in the shells of crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp, as well as in the cell walls of fungi and certain bacteria.

NAG is commonly used as a dietary supplement and is believed to have a range of potential health benefits, including:

  1. Supporting joint health: NAG is a precursor to hyaluronic acid and other glycosaminoglycans that are found in joint cartilage. Taking NAG supplements may help support joint health and reduce joint pain and stiffness.

  2. Promoting gut health: NAG may help support gut health by protecting the lining of the digestive tract and promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

  3. Boosting immune system function: NAG has been shown to stimulate the production of immune cells and enhance the function of white blood cells, which may help improve immune system function.

  4. Supporting skin health: NAG is a precursor to glycosaminoglycans that are found in the skin. Taking NAG supplements may help promote skin health and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  5. Reducing inflammation: NAG has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the body and improve overall health.

As with any supplement, it's important to talk to your doctor before taking NAG, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication.

DNA Testing for Health Optimization

Research has shown that while some SNP’s may be beneficial to patient health, others carry significant health risks. GenomicInsight ® equips you and your patients with the data analysis and knowledge needed to optimize health on an individual level. By taking into account each patient’s unique genomics, practitioners can be proactive in preventing illness before it begins, and even influence some diseases already in progress.

 

Understanding DNA Testing

 

What Are SNPs?

Although most of the genome is virtually identical from person to person, up to 9% of the genome can vary among individuals. This variation contributes to individual differences in both disease susceptibility and therapeutic responses. Single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs (pronounced “snips”), are an important type of genomic variation.

SNPs only make up a tiny portion of the human genome (0.4%), but because the genome is so enormous, this equals over 12 million locations. The differences or variations at these SNP locations contribute to differentiating us and making us unique.

 The Power of Epigenetics

While genes and SNPs themselves are virtually unchangeable, their impact on health can be influenced. The influence of environmental, lifestyle, and nutritional factors is referred to as epigenetics. Genomic Insight ® DNA test results offer dynamic opportunities to alter genetic expression – proving that genes do not equal destiny.

Patients and clinicians can work together to implement lifestyle changes that can positively influence the impact of risk-carrying SNPs. These highly-personalized treatment interventions can improve patient outcomes and change lives.

DNA Testing Advances the Application of Precision Medicine

Many SNPs can influence the odds, or risk, a patient has of developing a specific health condition. When it comes to specific diseases or syndromes, most SNPs carry low risks. Low risk does not mean that a SNP is unworthy of attention, but rather that the findings must be interpreted as part of an integrated whole, including other SNP result findings that the GenomicInsight ® panel identifies.

GenomicInsight ® provides an unprecedented and comprehensive understanding of a patient’s SNP genomics, coupled with an explanation of each SNP, its potential impact on health, and interventions clinical research has shown will impact their expression.

The Genomic Insight ® DNA test fosters meaningful conversations between clinicians and patients. Enjoy powerful clinician/patient bonds as you work together to optimize wellness.

We are all busy and need to be intentional about exercise. I'm 60 years and admittedly, lack of exercise is my greatest struggle. So, I developed what worked for me in the video and pix below. Do you know what the best exercise is? The ones you are going to do! Just move! It doesn't have to take too much extra time. For example, I run up 5 to 10 flights of stairs in 1 to 2 min every time I have to go to the bathroom at my office. Of course you are drinking your water right? If you don't you won't need to go urinate! If you don't use it, you _______ it! Lose!

 
 

We all know we need to move. Sitting is one of the worst things we can do except when resting. If you are like me, I will find ways to procrastinate exercise, I’ll make up excuses; “I’m too busy” “I don’t feel like it” “Takes too much time”. Well now I don’t have any excuses, I love this 4 minute exercise routine to help keep me young. I hope you do too!

Is Your Sciatic Pain a Pain in the Butt?

Some Sciatic pain literally is from the gluteal/butt region originating from the piriformis muscle.

Common causes are inflammation from the following possibilities:   

1.  Acute injury

2.  One Leg is shorter than the other

3.  Foot problem (flat feet, forefoot varus (where the neutral position of the forefoot is inverted)

4. Other:

  • Abdominal infections

  • localized infections

  • Toxic overload from:   heavy metals, processed foods,  antibiotics, environmental toxins, etc

The first 3 above may respond to stretching, the last one would probably require a holistic approach and come in to our clinic to find the root cause.
