How Much Caffeine is Healthy for You?

The amount of caffeine that is considered healthy on a daily basis can vary depending on several factors, including individual sensitivity to caffeine, age, overall health, and any preexisting medical conditions. The general guideline for healthy caffeine consumption is to limit intake to no more than 400 milligrams (mg) per day for most healthy adults, which is roughly equivalent to four cups of brewed coffee or 10 cans of cola.

However, it's important to note that caffeine sensitivity can vary widely among individuals. Some people may experience adverse effects even with lower amounts of caffeine, while others may be more tolerant and able to consume larger quantities without any issues. Additionally, certain groups may be more sensitive to caffeine, such as pregnant women, individuals with certain medical conditions, and those taking certain medications.

It's always a good idea to listen to your body and be aware of any negative effects that caffeine consumption may have on your health, such as difficulty sleeping, increased heart rate, anxiety, or digestive issues. If you have concerns about your caffeine intake or its potential effects on your health, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Common Sense Action Steps

  1. Know your bodies responses: difficulty sleeping, increased heart rate, anxiety, or digestive issues.

  2. Choose high-quality, organic coffee: Look for coffee that is labeled as organic. Organic coffee is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides, which can reduce your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. I prefer green coffee (see below).

  3. Opt for whole beans and grind them yourself: Whole bean coffee tends to be fresher and more flavorful. Grinding the beans just before brewing helps preserve the coffee's natural oils and flavors. This can result in a better-tasting cup of coffee without the need for additives.

  4. Consider the roast level: Coffee beans can be roasted to different degrees, ranging from light to dark. While the choice of roast level is largely a matter of personal preference, it's worth noting that lighter roasts generally retain more of the coffee's natural antioxidants. Darker roasts may have a bolder flavor but can contain less caffeine and potentially higher levels of acrylamide, a compound formed during the roasting process.

  5. Watch out for flavored coffees: Flavored coffees often contain artificial additives and sweeteners that can increase the calorie content and may not be beneficial for your health. If you prefer flavored coffee, you can try adding natural flavorings like cinnamon or vanilla extract to your regular coffee.

  6. Be mindful of additives: Be cautious with adding excessive amounts of sugar, cream, or syrups to your coffee, as they can contribute to extra calories, added sugars, and unhealthy fats. If you enjoy a creamer, consider using alternatives like almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.

  7. Moderation is key: Remember that moderation is important. While coffee can have potential health benefits, consuming excessive amounts can lead to negative effects such as increased heart rate, insomnia, or digestive issues. Stick to recommended caffeine limits and pay attention to how your body responds to coffee.

  8. What are your Genes saying about you and how you react to coffee. Additionally, learn how to optimize your Health and Prevent Early Aging and Disease.

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.

Hormone Balancing With Seeds = ANTI HORMONAL CANCERS

Imbalanced Hormones Can Reek Havoc on Your Body. More info


Balancing your hormones is imperative for our culture of stress and the SAD (Sad American Diet). Great for PMS and post menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, hormonal depression, insomnia etc.

Follow the moon calendar as described below to alternate the seeds if you are post menopausal or if you are a man.

Seed Cycling is for Hormone Balance in the realms of naturopathic nutrition and herbal medicine. Seed cycling for hormone balance has been shown to be a helpful and natural approach for hormone balance in both men and women. The seed cycling protocol uses specific seeds during specific times of the month in order to balance estrogen and progesterone. A pumpkin-and-flaxseed combo during the first two weeks after the new moon (for men) or following menstruation (for women) helps detoxify the extra estrogen that occurs this time of the month. A sunflower-and-sesame combo used in the second half of the twenty-eight day cycle is rich in selenium, which promotes progesterone production.


Use the calendar shown above as a reference for which seeds you should be taking each day.

  • The blue dates = sunflower and sesame

  • The red dates = pumpkin and flax


Here’s how seed cycling works:

DAY 1 OF PERIOD to DAY 14:  Or… for Men or Post Menopausal Women (NEW MOON TO FULL MOON) 

  • Eat 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds and 1 tablespoon ground pumpkin seeds every day.

  • (Optional) Dr. Paul recommends adding fish oil on Days 1 through 14 [1200mg per day of high quality Omega-3 rich fish oil (Dr. Paul recommends a blend of DHA and EPA, from Designs for Health called OmegaAvail Synergy 1/d (up to 150 lbs), 2/d (150 lbs +).   

DAY 15 to DAY 28: Or… for Men or Post Menopausal Women (FULL MOON TO NEW MOON)

  • Eat 1 tablespoon ground sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon ground sesame seeds every day.

  • (Optional) Dr. Paul recommends Gamma Linoleic Acid = GLA (2/d)  from Designs for Health to further help balance fatty acids. 

It’s recommended that the seeds are ground up so that the body can fully digest and consume all of their nutrients. They can be ground in a mortar and pestle, coffee grinder, or food processor and added to cold foods like smoothies or salads, or mixed with water.  

If you have a powerful blender like the Vitamix or Blendtec, you can skip the Mortar and pestle and put the seeds whole. I recommend investing in 1 of these blenders. It's very versatile and saves you a lot of time!

 
 

Detoxification Protocol

What to do if I feel worse after Dr. Paul’s Protocols?

Note*: This Detox Protocol works well if you’re detoxifying following any treatment! Not just post-remediation.

DETOX SYMPTOMS:

Increased fatigue 

o Headaches 

o Diarrhea 

o Trouble Sleeping 

o Feeling Flu-Like Symptoms or feeling “yucky” in general 

Detox Support Protocol” 

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT: If you feel worse immediately following Treatment with Dr. Paul or EMF remediation of your home or office, know that this is not super uncommon. It is temporary, and it’s likely a sign of your body  improving itself. In the case of EMF Remediation, when a huge stress (like EMF’s) is removed, your body may have tons more energy  which it may decide to use to flush out old toxins. About 15 to 20% of those who remediate EMF’s may  “detox” at first (which is a great sign of good things happening). This is also true of any Dr. Paul’s treaments. If you would like to make the  process gentler, shorter, or would like to avoid detox symptoms altogether, read below. Also FYI any treatment/products do not cause a detox but with more energy your body might decide to “improve” or to dump  old toxins from itself. In the worst case scenario, if you experience yucky detox symptoms, follow instructions below:

DETOXING IS TEMPORARY: The most common positive effects of Dr. Paul’s treatment or EMF Remediation are: more  energy, less fatigue, sleeping better, feeling calmer, better focus, or head pains disappearing. But if you  are the opposite (at first) know that these symptoms won’t last long and are temporary. A detox can last  hours, days, or on slim occasions even weeks. (Those with more serious Immune System Imbalances or  those who are remediating a very bad EMF environment are more likely to detox for a bit and might  consider doing both #1 and #2 below.) 

ANALOGY FOR UNDERSTANDING: For better understanding, imagine a person very suddenly goes  from smoking 2 packs of cigarettes per day to zero. That person is likely to be hacking up toxic phlegm  and dumping toxins out of their body. Quitting EMF’s is theorized to be very similar to that analogy. Our  products REALLY WORK which is why many do experience a detox. The detox itself isn’t a bad sign, it  is more a sign that you “had” issues in the past not the present (much like quitting smoking for example). 

WAYS TO SHORTEN, EASE, OR SOMETIMES STOP DETOX SYMPTOMS: 

Support your Detox organs with nutrition:

  1. For EMF products, simply take the products off (unplug them, etc). Then, reintroduce each product one at a time to ease the detox process. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for further guidance! However, for a more effective approach, we highly recommend options 2 through 4 below.

  2. First drink a lot of filtered water!!! Then support Gallbladder, Liver, Kidneys, and Lymphs…

  3. Get lots of rest! Read your body and know when it is time to take a break and rest to fuel and re-energize your body.

  4. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar – for Gallbladder, Liver, & Kidney Support (take for 4 to  12 weeks). Often the most important of these three! This has helped many greatly! Drink  in water: 3 Tbsp ACV per 16oz of water. Start with 2 to 4 Tbsp per day and slowly add  each day to work up to 10 Tbsp/day for a 120lb person (or 12 Tbsp/day for a 175lb  person, 14 Tbsp/day for 250lb+ person). Be consistent and don’t skip days! 

  5. Bromelain Quercitin Complex — for biological toxin support (Bromelain is a great Proteolytic  Enzyme for example). Take MANY per day, if needed, between meals (not with food)…6 to 15+ caps/day depending on the severity of symptoms. For Lymes or Auto-Immune clients, it may be best with much higher numbers in the beginning, then taper down every 3 days. 

  6. Medi Clay – for non-biological toxin support (Medi Clay FX by Premier Research Labs is a great one) – we recommend 1 to 3 per meal, which can be taken with or without food. Charcoal also works instead... check with a Nutritionist or Practitioner to see what’s best for you. 

EMF SOLUTIONS’ CLIENT DISCLAIMER: If you do experience symptoms above, don’t hesitate to call your EMF Solutions’ rep or to call EMF Solutions directly for advice! EMF remediation does not “cure” anything. We do not claim that it treats any medical conditions at all. We are not doctors or practitioners. The nutrition suggested is basic food (like the vinegar and digestive enzymes). We recommend you check with a nutritionist, practitioner, or doctor before taking anything at all. If you have allergies to any of the foods or simple nutrients, we suggest you consult your medical doctor.

Top Six Things Contributing to Constipation

There are many things that can contribute to constipation. It can be miserable especially if you have a history of it.

The most important thing is figuring out what is causing the problem. There are multiple causes but I have found through clinical experience the top things below. Here are simple starting steps so you can flow and not be backed up:

1. Are you drinking enough water? Water is essential ingredient to life and makes up most of your body. So if you're not consuming proper amounts of water then you need to to do that. It has a serious effect on major health issues in the body. One patient called me and said she was feeling lousy. She was on my tailored Nutrition program to cleanse her body. I asked her if she was drinking enough water. She said no. Her symptoms cleared up once she hydrated herself. You want to drink up to 96 ounces per day depending on your body weight. I recommend drinking a quart of water for every 50 lb of body weight. 

2. Are you having 4 cups of Vegetables measured raw per day? Here is a link to measuring vegies so you know how much you are having:

3. Fill in the blank, 2 of the most common nutrients lacking in our diet are: _______________________

Answer: Magnesium and Vitamin C. I have found these nutrients helpful for overall health and bowel movements.

  • The Magnesium Citrate version is best for constipation. Start with dosage on the back and increase 1 serving daily till bowel tolerance (soft stools/diarrhea), then back up to the prior dosage. Do this for both supplements.

  • Quality brands are essential for this. We use Designs for health, Buffered Vitamin C and MagCitrate Powder.

  • There are 2 general categories of Magnesium:

    • Ones that absorb into your bloodstream and ones that don’t.

    • Magcitrate does not absorb as well into the blood steam and therefore goes out your colon and into your toilet. That is why it loosens your bowels.

    • Trimag supreme is one of the best for absorbing into your bloodstream so it can go into your cells!. It comes in the day and night version. Night is for better sleep. You need these versions even more because every cell needs Magnesium to be healthy!

    • If you cant swallow use Epson salt foot or body bath or Magnegel (Designs for Health). Magnegel gets rubbed into the skin over cramps or for general health. It gets directly absorbed into the blood stream so it can get into your cells!

    • You can buy these at designsforhealth.com.

      • You will need to form a account first and then you will need a practitioner code: “paulkwik”. Then you can place your order. Free shipping with orders of at least $49 :).

4. Are you Stressed on the toilet? If you are you won’t go. Stress = Bowel Constriction, Relaxation = Bowel opening up. Its like a kinking a water hose when you are stressed. Counteract stress with the following:

  • Deep breathing, drop those shoulders! You are not relaxed if your shoulders are up and ready for action.

  • Gargling with no liquid in your mouth. This stimulates the relaxation nerve (Vagus nerve) to relax your body. It is wierd but it works!

  • Side note: Sometimes putting a small stool underneath your feet can reposition your tailbone for easier elimination.

5. Environmental Toxins https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2551954.

  • My observation is that every patient that has walked in for my Nutritional Consult has had too much heavy metals in their body. This can cause constipation. See ncbi reference above and do your own research as well. Toxic exposure is only getting worse as time goes on. Heavy metals, antibiotics, insecticides, pesticides, other pharmaceuticals & even radioactive uranium are in the water we drink and the food we eat. Please make sure that the water is purified either through a reverse osmosis or Berkey filtration system. If you are using bottled water, I recommend using Aquafina or Dasani water because I know that those are filtered with reverse osmosis. You can check other types of water by calling the company and asking if they use reverse osmosis. Personally, I use the Berkey filtration system which is 2 cents a gallon for the main filters and six cents a gallon for the fluoride/arsenic filters. I believe its the most effective at toxin removal while being the most cost-effective. Additionally, reverse osmosis takes away all the essential nutrients while the Berkey retains those. Minerals are in the same “family” as heavy metals, they all talk to each other and help “transport” heavy metals out of your body. Just search it up online and you'll see how critical minerals are for thousands of chemical reactions in your body as well.

  • Antibiotics in water and food. What is the most abundant in your body? Can you count to 37 trillion? That is how many body cells you have. What outnumbers the cells in your body? Can you count to 100 trillion? That is how many good bacteria are in your body. Your Digestive system hosts a majority of them. Antibiotics kill them! It's in food and water and can have residual effects today even though you had them many years prior!

    • What does the good bacteria family do?

      • It helps with Depression by producing seritonin, the feel good chemical (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4393509/).

      • Helps with constipation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4951383/).

      • Helps with a Host of other things as well.

      • The Bottom line; Filter your water, buy organic fruits and vegetables. Buy properly fed & treated animals which have been allowed to graze. If tight on budget, wash your fruits and vegetables with a cleanser as well as eat hormone and antibiotic free animal food sources.

  • Are you on prescription medications? Some are notorious for causing constipation. Here are 8 common ones

    • Nsaids for pain

    • Antihistamines like Benedryl and Zyrtec for Allergies

    • Tricyclic antidepressants like Elavil and Pamelor

    • Iron supplements

    • Urinary incontinence meds like: Ditropan and Detrol

    • Pain Opioid Meds

    • Hypertension meds

    • Nausea meds like Zofran

  • Talk to your Doctor as well as a Natural health practitioner about alternative options for your health. Your medical doctor will give you a drug because of a diagnosis based on your symptoms. If we can help you get rid of those symptoms, you can talk to your doctor about getting off some of those drugs.

6. Body Work

  • Body work would involve movement of the body at home and sometimes getting professional help, if needed. The body works by communication just like human beings need to communicate. Your body communicates through the brain and sends signals to the rest of the body to tell it what it should do and the body responds by telling a signal back to the brain using a feedback mechanism. Your vital organs communicate automatically through the autonomic nervous system which controls your stress and relaxation systems but it works through the conscious mind when your lifting something using muscles. Both of those require communication.

  • There's another set of communication pathways that happens on the skin surface called meridians (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25206574) . Acupressure without needles, which we do at our office, are ways to unblock short circuits of these communication pathways. I liken it to an orchestra singing a beautiful song and all the players are in perfect tune and harmony. These short circuits on the surface of the skin (meridians) or blockages of the actual nervous system (brain/spinal cord/nerves) can be helped with home treatment or if necessary, chiropractic care, or acupressure. This movement, song or dance, if you will, of your body through the nerves of the body and the meridians can be short circuited and cause your colon to be constipated.

    Testimony:

    One of my most recent patients was referred to by another patient. He was pretty much at death's door. After starting with me, the doctors said it was a miracle that he was still alive. He had been admitted to the hospital for a ruptured aortic aneurysm. He was in a coma for one month and by the time he got here he was at 30% heart function, severely constipated and on narcotic drugs for pain, he wasn't getting any sleep, he had lost 30 lbs, and diagnosed with cancer and liver failure. To say the least, his life was miserable!

    We did the foundational lab tests on him, analyzed what he needed from the lab tests and started creating a new story for him! After he started my program, here is what happened in 1 month:

  • Heart function improved from 30% to 50%

  • Gained 20 lbs

  • Pain gone

  • Constipation gone

  • Thankful to me because he was able to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas

  • Sleep improved 20%

    Not everybody is is at death's door when they come in. I'm hoping that you'll talk to me much sooner than that! It'll be easier for me and especially for you so that you don’t needlessly suffer.

Foundational Steps towards Wellness

I can't overemphasize how important simple habits are to your sanity not to mention your health

I say these things to my patients very, very often because I want to ingrain it in their heads. I’ll say it again because it’s so important: I can’t overemphasize doing the things below to aid your healing journey. Many come in desperate in pain, with cancer or other disease, like allergies or autoimmune issues. How they got to my office is a story of deprivation often missing one or more components below. Your body will be operating at a deficit if you don’t do these things. Southern California is fast paced, full of demands and stress that will eat your health up unless you are intentional about being healthy. What are the simple, nuts and bolts daily activities to keep you energetic and vibrant?

Your daily energy to live comes from stored energy in the body. My whole goal with treatment is to charge up cells that are weak. Did you know that cancer cells have the lowest charge? Stress, nutritional deficiencies, Injuries, lack of sun, dehydration, lack of sleep, etc are dis-chargers. You are charged up after a treatment which normalizes body energy and therefore cleansing and nutrient absorption capabilities. What are the practical everyday healthy tools? For you, one thing may be more important than others especially if you're not getting one of these items regularly. So focus on those items that you need to work on the most.

S’s for Successful Health

  1. Sleep and rest at least seven to eight hours, preferably 8. If you don’t rest your don’t heal! I ask every one of my patients how they are sleeping and address the cause of their lack of sleep from the start.

  2. Shift away from Electro smog. This is most common cause of sleep issues. In our modern culture, we are so over exposed to electrical smog from Wi-Fi, cell phone, cordless phones Etc, that some authorities call it the greatest health threat of our day. It is critical that you ground yourself to the natural PEMF- pulse electromagnetic frequency of the earth. Go out in the sun. Walk Barefoot on the grass or sand. Touch a tree. Get PEMF at our office. Get your home remediated. Implement things to do now to reduce electro smog on your body.

  3. Supply and Stay Nourished & get Support from at least 1 other person that builds you up, particularly with regard to healthy eating. If they tend towards discouraging you, they may not be the best accountability partner. If necessary get, professional accountability at first if you are at your wits end. I encourage that if you have been diagnosed or or suspect cancer, heart disease, chronic pain or Autoimmune issues. Supplementation with high quality, non toxic supplements will probably be necessary. We use a Science based approach to measure what you need for vitamins, herbs, etc…

  4. Sift/Cleanse with pure water. Poorly filtered refrigerated water or God forbid, tap water is Nasty! If you knew what was in tap water, you would cringe. Drink 1/2 your body weight in oz. 96 oz maximum. More water if you are sweating a lot. I prefer Berkey water or Reverse Osmosis not only for effectiveness in purifying water but for cost savings as well.

  5. Sensitize yourself to your Body’s needs. Listen to your body get power naps if necessary. Fight Stress with quiet times and stress reduction techniques. Deep breathing or walks or…?

  6. Steps towards body movement are critical for not only oxygenation but also for rejuvenating and refreshing your body. It’s great to help maintain your bodies youthfulness. If time is your greatest hindrance, here is a great 4 min exercise to multiply your workouts.

Additional:


6. Sanitize and support your body with Apple Cider vinegar and other fermented foods daily. Fermented food are powerful for your Gut community. Earth tooth paste is not only great for infections and pain on your on all areas of discomfort as well as scar tissue till it drys, the thicker the paste the more the detox. Please avoid sensitive areas like eyes.

7. Sanitize with Epsom salt bath for 30 minutes, full body if you can, but at least the hands and feet for 30 minutes each, I like using Magnagel which is Epson salt (magnesium) in a bottle. We are a culture depleted in our Magnesium do to poor agricultural methods and eating habits.

Are You Willing to Do What it Takes to Beat Diabetes and Obesity?

image-asset (5) (1).jpeg

Diabetes is a growing epidemic problem. In 2016 a recent study showed that our life expectancy is actually declining in the United States. Heart disease was number one cause of mortality, cancer was the number two cause and they determined through this study that diabetes is the number 3 cause. It's startling that the American diabetic Association says one out of every two Americans is either pre-diabetic or has diabetes. You can do something about it! Start by learning! Start by being frustrated enough that you're willing to create a new chapter in your life! Watch these videos below to learn more.

Minerals are in the same “family” as heavy metals, they all talk to each other and help “transport” heavy metals out of your body. Just search it up online and you'll see how critical minerals are for thousands of chemical reactions in your body as well.

  • Antibiotics in water and food. What is the most abundant in your body? Can you count to 37 trillion? That is how many body cells you have. What outnumbers the cells in your body? Can you count to 100 trillion? That is how many good bacteria are in your body. Your Digestive system hosts a majority of them. Antibiotics kill them! It's in food and water and can have residual effects today even though you had them many years prior! What does the good bacteria family do?

  • Helps with Depression by producing seritonin, the feel good chemical (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4393509/).

  • Helps with constipation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4951383/).

  • Host of other things as well.

The Bottom line; Filter your water, buy organic fruits and vegetables. Buy properly fed & treated animals which have been allowed to graze. If tight on budget, wash your fruits and vegetables with a cleanser as well as eat hormone and antibiotic free animal food sources.

6. Body Work

  • Body work would involve movement of the body at home and sometimes getting professional help, if needed. The body works by communication just like human beings need to communicate. Your body communicates through the brain and sends signals to the rest of the body to tell it what it should do and the body responds by telling a signal back to the brain using a feedback mechanism. Your vital organs communicate automatically through the autonomic nervous system which controls your stress and relaxation systems but it works through the conscious mind when your lifting something using muscles. Both of those require communication.

  • There's another set of communication pathways that happens on the skin surface called meridians (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25206574) . Acupressure without needles, which we do at our office, are ways to unblock short circuits of these communication pathways. I liken it to an orchestra singing a beautiful song and all the players are in perfect tune and harmony. These short circuits on the surface of the skin (meridians) or blockages of the actual nervous system (brain/spinal cord/nerves) can be helped with home treatment or if necessary, chiropractic care, or acupressure. This movement, song or dance, if you will, of your body through the nerves of the body and the meridians can be short circuited and cause your colon to be constipated.

    Testimony:

    One of my most recent patients was referred to by another patient. He was pretty much at death's door. After starting with me, the doctors said it was a miracle that he was still alive. He had been admitted to the hospital for a ruptured aortic aneurysm. He was in a coma for one month and by the time he got here he was at 30% heart function, severely constipated and on narcotic drugs for pain, he wasn't getting any sleep, he had lost 30 lbs, and diagnosed with cancer and liver failure. To say the least, his life was miserable!

    We did the foundational lab tests on him, analyzed what he needed from the lab tests and started creating a new story for him! After he started my program, here is what happened in 1 month:

  • Heart function improved from 30% to 50%

  • Gained 20 lbs

  • Pain gone

  • Constipation gone

  • Thankful to me because he was able to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas

  • Sleep improved 20%

    Not everybody is is at death's door when they come in. I'm hoping that you'll talk to me much sooner than that! It'll be easier for me and especially for you so that you don’t needlessly suffer.

    So those are the top things associated with constipation I hope you got benefit from this.

Diabetes and Obesity Busting Yummy Smoothies.

image-asset (3) (1).jpeg

We all live crazy, hectic lifestyles, and I always encourage to take some time to plan so that you can be more productive. But part of that planning involves some alone time.  I think this is foundational to life. Especially in busy Southern California. So how do you eat on a busy lifestyle? Recently, we have just re-done our kitchen and moved a washer and dryer to the garage and it's been crazy. One project after another with a non-functional kitchen, our master bedroom was leaking so we have to sleep in the next bedroom so there's a project there. So we all know what it feels like to be busy. So how do I eat when I'm busy and still beat things like diabetes and cancer. My famous saying:

“We spend all our life building wealth and then at the end of our life we lose our wealth due to lack of Health”

One of the tactics that I use when I'm busy is I have a nice high powered blender like Vitamix or Blendtec. I make a smoothie for breakfast and lunch. For those of you that like to chew, you will have to be a bit more imaginative. Chew your smoothies! This helps stimulate digestive juices. I mix these ingredients into a shake and it takes me less than 10 minutes including cleanup.

Weight Busting, Muscle maintaining, Yummy Chocolate Creamy Smoothie

 See List of ingredients at end:
Organic Costco Spinach Filled to the top of blender with spinach.

Liquid - 3 to 4 cups, it could be pure filtered water with reverse osmosis or a Berkey filter, or unsweetened almond, coconut or cashew nut milk. If you are the Ideal Protein program, use water.

A healthy protein powder that has a complete eight amino acid profile which rebuilds muscle. Because if you're trying to lose weight you will lose muscle and you need a complete protein to rebuild that muscle. Otherwise, at the end of the program you will lose muscle pounds and therefore your metabolism will slow down—>  yo yo dieting.

I called a company that sold protein foods and had a few questions for them, they answered all my questions except the last one, does your protein have the full 8 amino acids in it….still waiting for a response…close to year waiting. Please don’t use cheap quality protein where your muscles can deteriorate.

I use Pure paleo protein Chocolate or Vanilla powder that is from bone broth extract of organic grass-fed New Zealand grass fed beef which tastes great in vanilla or chocolate.

You can also use Ideal Protein packets for extra flavor. But I want you to limit the amount of Splenda that you use. 

So now we've got the vegetables and the protein covered now you need the carbs covered if you're not trying to lose weight. You can add frozen organic blueberries, frozen organic strawberries, or other low glycemic fruits to your liking.  Google low glycemic foods and see what is best.  These foods have minimal havoc on your blood sugar levels. That's the carbs.

Now you have to add the good healthy fats and I think this is where most people fall short. Because they're scared of fat. If you take a look at all the ketogenic diets out there, there's a lot of research to back up healthy ketogenic diets for many diseases including epilepsy, seizures, Alzheimer's, and cancer. If you are on the Ideal protein program, fats are limited to 2 tsp a day of oil or 9 grams of fat daily.

I find our society falls short in the use of the oils. Either they fry vegetable oils that are not meant to be fried like vegetable oil or eat processed foods or they do home cooking with it. Anything that's in clear containers in the market with vegetable oil is already oxidized due to light and the way they process that oil with heat —> oxidizes oil (like rust to metal) and damages your arteries —> heart attacks, strokes, embolisms


I use “cold processed”, ultra high quality oils like Mixed Efas (anti-inflammatory) that tastes great and makes a creamy consistency.  Additionally, I only cook with oils and have high “smoke” points like, butter, ghee, tallow, duck fat, and coconut oil. Basically, almost all animal fats.  As long as you don’t combine a meal with high fats and high carbs you won’t get fat and get all the diseases of modern culture. Think of foods that plug up your arteries like donuts, french fries, pasta loaded with oil etc. Those are “artery clogging bombs”

Summary of anti-Stroke and Heart Attack smoothie

 *Strong blender like Vita-mix or Blendtec

 1. Spinach (organic from Costco) (fill to top of blender)

2. 2 to 4 cups liquid (water etc… see above). 2 cups per meal. 4 cups if making Breakfast and Lunch.

3. High quality, 8 amino acid, GMO free, organic, antibiotic free protein (20 grams/scoop). Ex. Pure paleo protein Chocolate or Vanilla powder $2.93/serving. I like chocolate better with the spinach. 1 scoop is 1 meal. Use 2 if preparing both Breakfast and Lunch

4. High quality oil (1 tbl).  Ex Mixed Efas, ($1.56 per serving) coconut oil (if you like the taste), even Kerry gold butter.  Avocados ($1.53/per small avocado at Costco -1/2 to 1, Use more oil if you are hungry before lunch time.

5. Enjoy!

Top 6 things to Take While in Ketosis (Losing Weight)

image-asset (6) (1).jpeg
 

Hello, I’m Dr. Paul and I’m here to guide you on your Ketosis Journey! Whether it be weight loss, fighting cancer, fighting autoimmune rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus or multiple ailments, you will need to have a foundation for getting through and rebuilding your body back to health.  Ketosis can be a vital part of that. So let’s dive right in.

Number one are multivitamins(MV). Why do you need them? Mv’s rebuild the nutrients that are missing in your body. Why are they missing? Because there has been a hundred years of abusing our soil. Because of overpopulation, farms have been forced to overuse and abuse the soil so we can help meet the demands of the population. As a result, our foods are depleted of essential nutrients.

Obviously not all MV’s are created equal.  I’ve seen on Xray mv’s getting ready to come out the stool “whole”. It’s a complete waste of money! I've seen supplements that have a certain amount that says on the label but only have 50% of that substance in the actual bottle, some have 0%, that’s right, none of that nutrient was in the bottle.  That is why I always look for FDA/cGMP approved. I've seen supplements that haven't been tested for heavy metals which are extremely damaging to the body. Here's a link that you can go to to see how to pick the best supplements at a discounted cost. Multivitamins are your first link toward getting healthy through ketosis.

Number two are essential fatty acids(oils). Oils are an essential part of every cell of the body because the cells are made up of a fat membrane. Cells talk to each other via this fat membrane. As a result, when you don't have enough good oil, your body mis-communicates and suffers.  Top that off the bombardment of bad oils in our food supply. Bad oils are rampant and found mainly in fast foods and processed foods. You need to start reading labels. Most foods have canola oil or safflower oil or sunflower oil and worst yet, partially hydrogenated oils.  There's confusion on whether safflower and sunflower are healthy or not but put it this way, once they get oxidized, it’s like rust to the body. They become bad oils. It causes oxidation of cells which causes early destruction of cells, i.e. early aging. So oils protect our cell walls just like essential oils in all plants protect it from the Sun damage. In addition, there are a host of other functions including reduction of bad cholesterol and increasing the good cholesterol.  Not only does good cholesterol help cause vibrant physical and sexual health, it's also instrumental in reducing inflammation transporting heavy metals out of the body.

The next thing is electrolytes. What are electrolytes?  They are in water that has not been stripped of electrolytes which are basically essential minerals.  The ultimate consequence of continual deprivation of water/electrolytes is what? Yes death! Electrolytes performance numerous functions including, detoxification from heavy metals and you tend to lose more on a ketosis program like Ideal Protein.  The major electrolytes are calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium so we encourage sea salt. In the case of Ideal Protein, its 330 mg of potassium in just the Ideal sea salt that you sprinkle on your foods.

The next thing that we want to that are highly recommended is branched chain amino acids.  Why? Because that helps to rebuild the muscle that you lose on every weight loss program. Not all weight loss programs are created equal.  Some programs lose 50% muscle and that is scary. It’s terrible for your metabolism because it slows metabolism down. So you get a false sense of hope thinking, “Wow, I’ve lost weight!” But then at the end of program 50% of that you lost was muscle and your metabolism really slows down. So what happens when you get back to eating more carbs? Your body will go into yo-yo dieting. It'll just jump up with weight because your metabolism is completely wrecked. Therefore Branch chain amino acids helps to rebuild the muscle in order to keep the metabolism up.  Think of Arnold Schwarzenegger who is mainly muscle. When he is showcasing his body, he’s contracting those muscles. Is that easy to do? No, he's sweating up a storm because like all men, not only does he have a greater % muscle, compared to women, but he is a body builder. Therefore he will need more branch chain amino acids then you or me. So, they are essential in your weight loss program. I would even go another step to say they are essential when you get older as well because of muscle wasting when you get older. So the implications of Branch chain aminos are far reaching.

Fifth are enzymes.  Enzymes are critical for digesting food and digesting inflammation and infection in the food you eat.   Betaine HCL or hydrochloric acid are extracted from Beets. Thus the “Bet” in Betaine. Is your stomach acidic or alkaline?  It’s strongly acidic. Why is it acidic? It was designed to be extremely acidic to allow the body to digest the food and help make vitamin B12 from the intrinsic factor. No HCL means no Intrinsic factor → no Vitamin B12.  That’s not good! Tums and Prilosec suppress HCL production. Yes acid foods can cause unwanted symptoms for many people. I.e. Acid reflux. But the reason why is because you have too much lactic acid and deficient in hydrochloric acid.   Did you know that Betaine HCL was the first antibiotic before penicillin? Did you also know that you are given a certain amount to last throughout life?  If when you were younger, you ate a lot of processed foods, you will run out of HCL earlier in life which will cause things like acid reflux, indigestion, gallbladder problems and other digestive woes.  I know of 18 year olds losing their gall bladders because of junk foods. In a nutshell, hydrochloric acid rebuilds the stomach to help digest foods and fight inflammation and fight infection.

Last but not least are antioxidants.   I strongly recommend that for any program because as you're getting healthy, especially when you losing weight, your body's going to release extra “unwanted” fat from your body storage so you can lose weight.  Do you know what is stored in the fat? Toxins and extra hormones like estrogen. Estrogen builds fat in the body, can you picture a man with breasts from being overweight? Yes that is from excess estrogen! Well all that is going into the bloodstream when you are losing weight. That is also why it can change the menstrual cycles of women temporarily.  Because the bloodstream is so pure what is it going to do with all those toxins? How does it fight it off? Will toxins act like rust to metal. It damages cells. That is called oxidation. So the first thing the body wants to do is beat it with antioxidants. One of the antioxidants is called Ultra gamma E complex which is a powerful combination vitamin E product.

So those are the top 6 things that help your body to start getting healthier in your ketosis journey.  Please remember this and learn more here: If you are healthy, does it matter the name of the disease?




Top reasons why Bone Broth can be the Best Food on the Planet (7 min video)

image-asset (7) (1).jpeg
 


Why is bone broth so healthy? You have to ask that question in light of where you're getting the source from. Watch this video to understand if the animal protein you are eating is healthy. If you're an animal that is cooped up or forced with injections of antibiotics watch this video. If you're not allowed to roam and graze and eat from the land, you're probably not healthy as an animal. So watch this video and understand why bone broth can be an essential part of being healthy. Does it matter the name of the disease of your healthy?


RECIPE FOR BONE-VEGETABLE BROTH

Bones, preferably from organic, free range and/or grass fed animals.*

7 carrots, cut fine

1 small bunch of celery, cut fine

1/3 bunch of parsley, cut fine

Large handful of spinach, cut fine

1 large Vidalia onion, chopped

2 T Apple cider vinegar
salt/pepper, to taste

Cumin and/or Turmeric, to taste

Ginger: great for healing the digestive tract (ex. Diverticulitis, etc…)

Fill a big crock pot or stock pot ½ full of bones (chicken, turkey, beef and/or fish bones). If using beef bones, roast beforehand for 25 or 30 minutes at about 375 F and then use them to make a stock.

Add vegetables. Cover bones/vegetables with reverse osmosis OR Berkey water. Add a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with the cold water to help draw out the nutrients from the bones.  Put it on high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat so it doesn’t do much more than simmer. Add spices.

Skim off the “froth” as it arises. Continue to add water as it evaporates.

Allow around 4 hours for chicken stock and a minimum of 6 hours for other, tougher bones.  If you have time, let it boil for as much as 24 hours for chicken and 48 hrs for beef bones. This time allows the bones to turn to Gelatin which has amazing curative properties as well as makes it easier to digest. The more it cooks the more minerals you’ll leach from the bones and vegetables.  Store in refrigerator to use as needed.  Drink it warm. 

 *Ask your local butcher for a carcass of chicken or beef bones (many call them “dog bones” or “soup bones”). Many local grocery stores sell “soup bones”. You can also keep all the bones from the meat you eat during the week in the freezer until you’re ready to use them. 

 

Will Acne Ever Rule the World?

I'm sure it feels that way for some kids. I had my share of mild acne when I was younger and I have divots on my head to prove it.  Experience with my patients and children tells me that you can beat acne, as long as they do what I tell them to do. 

What is the cause of acne?  That's the million-dollar question. 
I believe there are  multiple reasons for this. Stress and Diet are pieces of the puzzle not to mention all the additional chemicals and toxic exposure in our environment that is more unprecedented today than ever before.

Action steps to take with Acne:

• Keep skin clean with safe and healthy skincare products free of hormone-disrupting ingredients and pore-clogging petroleum

• Change pillowcases often to avoid ongoing exposure to dirt and excess oils

• Try to limit hand to face contact to prevent the spread of bacteria and germs; carry Silvercillin spray to disinfect hands and surfaces

• Decrease flare-ups by countering stress with adequate sleep and relaxation

• Encourage elimination of toxins through sweating by exercising or using a far infrared sauna

Dietary Tips and Caveats:

• Limit or avoid dairy products, white flour, and sugar-laden foods and beverages

• Eat healthy high quality proteins including dairy-free protein shakes, such as PurePaleo Chocolate or Vanilla protein made from bone broth and delicious.

• Drink plenty of water to facilitate elimination of wastes.  1 quart per 50 lb body weight.  Pure Berkey filtered water or Reverse Osmosis water.

• Eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, mackerel, halibut, ground flax seeds, chia seeds and raw nuts

• Eat a phytonutrient-rich diet of unprocessed whole foods, abundant in vegetables and fruits (preferably organic) that contain antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E

• Support blood sugar balance by avoiding foods that spike blood sugar such as high-sugar snacks and beverages (includes sodas and fruit juices); refined carbohydrates, and high fructose corn syrup; avoid excess sugar to prevent accumulation of the toxic by-product, acetaldehyde

Supplement Recommendations:  Strongly recommend blood work to test for dosing below and other Nutrients that may be needed. 

AcnutrolTM capsules 6 capsules per day

Hylands ClearAc as directed on label

Probiotic SynergyTM Probiospheres 1 sphere per day with breakfast

OmegAvailTM Synergy 2 softgels per day with meals

Optional, if needed: Hi-Po Emulsi-D3 liquid 1 drop per day or 1 ADK per day.   Strongly recommend blood work to test for Vitamin D dosing.

Miraculous Shifts in Your Health Can Be Yours!

 

Does it make sense that if you're healthy that your body will be able to beat disease? I have seen this in my cancer patients, autoimmune patients, migraine patients, fibromyalgia patients, obese patients, diabetic patients, multiple sclerosis patients Etc. These patients are beating their disease by getting healthy following a science-based approach.

Whether you're 5 or 95 years old, your body was made to heal given the right internal body environment! But we can't see what's inside because we don't have X-ray vision. Using a science based approach, we can put our Superman X-ray eyes on and see what's going inside the body.

Science-based nutrition™, is a comprehensive analysis of your body's imbalances, by using blood testing for nutritional deficiencies as well as hair and urine analysis to determine mineral balance/heavy metals toxins.

Your body is wonderfully made! Like an orchestra that is in perfect pitch and tune, your body should sing a pleasant harmony. Ideally, the body synchronizes with essential nutrients, minerals & vitamins that produces a beautiful song of Health!

I have been using a evidence based, results driven approach with my patients for the past 10 years. In my drive to see better results with my patients, I'm always researching and am grateful to add a rich arsenal to my practice using Science Based Nutrition™.  Dr. Van Merkel developed this system and I'm thoroughly enjoying helping and giving hope to patients with cancer, MS, autoimmune and other conditions with this system.

Imagine your body talking to you.  What would it say?  Would it say "I have atrial fibrillation, migraines or cancer"? Whether it is shouting out with a group of symptoms or no symptoms at all really is a mute point when it comes to health.  How many people do you know that don't have symptoms the day before they get diagnosed with stage 4 cancer or other disease? Conversely, most of my patients came in here at their wits end with miserable symptoms. What is the bottom line? Symptoms or no symptoms, neither determines how healthy you are.

The body does not care the name of the disease, it just cares about getting healthy.

We don't treat the disease. We treat the whole YOU! In fact, does it matter the name of the disease when your healthy?
