There are two major components of a pro-active protocol.
Get the "good chemistry" in and the "bad chemistry" out.
How?
What's the "bad" and what's the "good"?
How much do you have and what do you need?
Accurate testing is imperative! How do you get it?
"Good Chemistry"
Micronutrients: Vitamins, Minerals, Oxygen, H2O, etc.
Macronutrients: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats
Normal intake should be 50/30/20.
These are some of the required materials your body needs to make specific
Materials for specific functions: Hormones, Neurotransmitters, Antibodies,
Enzymes, Muscles, Nerves, etc.
Labs to check "good chemistry" levels.
Amino acids, Minerals, Vitamins Levels, and Fatty Acids Levels.
"Bad Chemistry"
Chemistry that impedes or blocks proper functions of the body.
Environmental toxins : Heavy metals, Mercury amalgam, Pesticides,
Artificial sweeteners and colorings, Toxins from bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc.
These toxins significantly negatively affect the Endocrine system,
Immune system and all other organ systems based upon exposure
and genetic capability for detoxification.
Chronic Stress Chemistry: results in high level of Adrenal Hormones, such as,
Cortisol and eventually suppresses DHEA, Testosterone, Estradiol, Progesterone
and Thyroid Hormones.
Symptoms of Toxicity
Fatigue, Insomnia, Anxiety, Mood Swings,
Decreased Concentration, Short-term Memory Deficits
Central Obesity, Decreased Glucose Regulation, High LDL Cholesterol,
Low HDL Cholesterol
Decreased Digestion, Decreased Adsorption, Constipation
Numbness, Tingling, Weakness, Cold, Hot Flashes, Skin Rash, Hair Loss
Decreased Libido, Decreased Sexual Function, Menstrual Abnormalities
Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance
Fatigue, Insomnia, Anxiety, Mood Swings,
Decreased Concentration, Short-term Memory Deficits
Central Obesity, Decreased Glucose Regulation, High LDL Cholesterol,
Low HDL Cholesterol
Decreased Digestion, Decreased Adsorption, Constipation
Numbness, Tingling, Weakness, Cold, Hot Flashes, Skin Rash, Hair Loss
Decreased Libido, Decreased Sexual Function, Menstrual Abnormalities
Testing for Heavy Metals and Other Toxins
It is the liver's major job to detoxify the body through 4 pathways.
Heavy metals are the most destructive. Blood tests are useless
If Mercury Amalgam is present:
Only mild detoxification protocols may be used to test and treat.
Oral IV CaEdta - collect urine
Oral DMSA - collect stool
Oral Nutritional Supplementation
And Somatic Therapies
If NO Mercury Amalgam is present:
IV DMPS/CaEdta protocol - collect urine
Accurate Testing is Difficult to Achieve
The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine recommends that the following hormones be assessed and the following blood
tests be done:
