WARNING.....

In order to fully implement the suggested changes, it helps to make an agreement to read this material word for word every day for two weeks (you can substitute the tape for several of the days). The suggested lifestyle changes in this handout may seem overwhelming the first time you read through them. It will be helpful to invite a spouse or friend. to participate with you so that they can provide you with a level of support around your efforts to apply the program. If you happen to develop a new symptom after beginning any of these recommendations, you should listen to your body and postpone implementing that change because your body can not tolerate it at this time.

Eat More Vegetables :

Let us first start out by describing what you can eat. ALL vegetables promote health, unless you are allergic to them or they cause gas or intestinal problems. It would be best to have them uncooked, but you may have to lightly steam them initially. Vegetables contain phytochemicals which are powerful natural agents to promote health. Most people benefit more from increased vegetables than from extra vitamins. Not all vegetables are created equal. Avoid iceberg lettuce as it has minimal nutritional value; kale, Swiss chard and collards, and spinach are better options. You may want to steam the stems separately from the leaves because they require longer cooking time. Carrots are high in sugar and should be limited. Dandelion greens, green and red cabbage, broccoli, Chinese cabbage, Bok Choy, fennel, celery, cucumbers, brussels sprouts, turnips, Jerusalem artichokes, kohlrabi, and parsley are also good choices. The greener the vegetable, the more good chlorophyll nutrition is present. Try to only purchase organic vegetables.

Organic varieties will decrease your exposure to dangerous pesticides. Additionally, they have two to five times more nutrients as compared to non-organic vegetables. Most people agree that they also taste much better. If you are unable to obtain organic vegetables, you can rinse non-organic vegetables in a solution of Shaklee's Basic H. You can find a distributor in the yellow pages or on the web site at www.shaklee.com. Exclude foods like pasta and most cereals. Replace grains whenever possible with vegetables.

Beverages:

Your exclusive beverage should be water. Bottled spring water, (not drinking water) is best; but filtered water is acceptable. Try to have at least eight glasses of water a day. It would be best to have the water at room temperature. Ice cold water can be a trauma to the delicate lining of your stomach, unless you are overheated. Try not to purchase the one gallon inexpensive plastic containers from your grocery store as they transfer far too many chemicals into the water. The five gallon containers from the water companies are a much harder plastic and will not give the water that awful plastic taste. You can add lemon juice occasionally to your water to help flavor it and improve your body's pH.

Do not drink tap water! Chlorine is a toxic chemical and should not be consumed in large quantities. Britta filtered water costs approximately 24 cents per gallon. However, standard filters are a more effective solution that will bring the cost down to 1-2 cents per gallon. You can obtain them locally from Home Depot or Coast Filtration (800-542-6723). Consumer Reports (July 1997) selected PUR PLUS filters (Service Merchandise for under $50) as better choices then Britta filters. They simply screw directly into your current faucet and only take a few minutes to install. If you have a water softener, you need to divert the softened water away from the kitchen tap to a reverse osmosis system. Avoid distilled water as it has the wrong ionization, pH, polarization and oxidation potentials. It will also drain your body of minerals.

Freshly processed vegetable juices would also be acceptable. Green tea is a good fluid alternative and has many additional Vitamin C like properties with its bioflavanoids. Most people recognize that coffee is not the best fluid to drink. Coffee beans are frequently grown outside of this country and have limited U.S. Agriculture controls on the amount of pesticides that are used. The timing of your water drinking is also important. You should drink your fluids about four times a day, 30 minutes before each meal and once after dinner to limit interference with your digestive capacity by diluting your hydrochloric acid and pancreatic digestive enzymes. The total water at that time should be about 2-3 cups. Generally you can divide your weight in pounds by 2 and that is the number of ounces of water you should drink a day. So a person weighing 128 pounds would need 64 ounces of water, or ½ gallon, per day. If you have an ulcer you should drink 12 glasses of water a day until the pain is gone. Most people find drinking two glasses at time (one pint) is easier than small sips from a water bottle all day long. Most people do not recognize that their shower is a significant source of chlorine exposure. It would be best to put a filter on your showerhead. If you take a bath, fill it up from the shower. The filters and a showerhead are $52 with shipping and handling at 800-874-9028. These are probably not necessary if you obtain your water from a well. Remember, you should have a reverse osmosis system for your drinking water if you have a water softener.

Healthy Fats:

Healthy fats are important in your diet and you will need an excellent source of ESSENTIAL fatty acids. One of the best sources are evening primrose oil capsules. A good dose is 1300 mg with each meal. Most people do NOT tolerate flax oil well, but whole flaxseeds, which you can purchase at the health food store and then grind up in a food processor or coffee grinder can be used. You can mix it in with your salad or vegetables as it has a nutty taste. Raw sunflower and pumpkin seeds are also good sources of these fats.

Listen To Your Body

If ANY food or supplement makes you nauseous. listen to your body, stop it immediately! Your body will always provide you with a better indication of what is good for you than a theoretical recommendation.

MAKE A MENU!!

Most people have great difficulty implementing these suggestions unless they sit down once a week (at a time when you are well rested, fresh and relaxed) and plan every meal for the week ahead. This allows them to purchase the items they need and have them on hand for their meals. This is STRONGLY advised. Those who don't do this will more easily slip back into their old more comfortable and less healthy eating habits. Go to the library and check out some cook books. All you need to do is find at least ten recipes that you like. That is all that most families use. It will take awhile to find them, but be creative and experiment! It is vitally important to have a variety. Do NOT rotate between two or three meals or you will burn out and stop the program. Variety is the key.

What to Tell Others

To limit your difficulty in implementing this plan in a public setting it is much more socially acceptable to tell others you are allergic to a food than you are on a special diet. This generally elicits cooperation. Although it is not an IgE allergy you have, it is scientifically truthful to state this as it is a type of food sensitivity.

Basic Principles:

The restrictions are listed in order of importance. Start from the top and work your way down. Strict food rotation is not necessary but you should not have the same food more than five days a week as this will increase your risk of developing a sensitivity to that food. Sugar is one exception that seems to seriously impair most people's health and we recommend to permanently limit its use as much and as quickly as possible. It is important to NEVER have the same food every day of the week, no matter how healthy the food is.

1. Sugar: Limiting sugar is CRITICAL. Eating refined sugar weakens your immune system and promotes yeast overgrowth. All non-diet pops have 8 teaspoons in each can. Most packaged cereals have sugar as their major ingredient. Avoid most natural sweeteners (including corn syrup, fructose, honey, sucrose, maltodextrin, dextrose, molasses, white grape juice, fruit juice sweetened, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, date sugar, cane sugar, corn sugar, beet sugar, succanat and lactose). READ LABELS! For a better perspective on the dangers of sugar, consider this:, if you had a choice of only stopping your sugar or smoking, I would strongly recommend stopping the sugar. In most people, it will cause more damage than the smoking.

However, you need not become obsessive about sugar. If it is the 4th or 5th ingredient in a food, that would probably be acceptable. Many people are addicted to sugar and should avoid all sugars permanently for optimal health. This is not much different than someone who is addicted to alcohol and requires total abstinence. If you must have some sugar, RAW honey (not from the grocery store) would be the best choice (one source is 800-654-4593) and is best eaten with a large meal, NOT as a between meal snack. Many people ask about Equal or Nutrasweet (Aspartame). These artificial sweeteners need to be eliminated. There are more adverse reactions to Nutrasweet reported to the FDA than all other foods and additives combined. In certain individuals, it can have devastating consequences. If you need an alternative healthy sweetener, an herb called Stevia can be used. It is available at the health food store. One should also avoid MSG.

2. No Margarine or Trans Fat: Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils contain VERY dangerous fats called TRANS fatty acids. Read your food labels. If it says "partially hydrogenated," please consider that a poison to your system and do NOT eat it. These are very damaging to your health. Please avoid them. They are present in all commercially made doughnuts, crackers, cookies, pastries, deep-fat fried foods (including those from all major "fast- food" chains), potato and corn chips, imitation cheeses, and confectionery fats found in frosting and candies. Olive oil, coconut oil, and butter are the only oils recommended for cooking. Avoid canola oil as it is not as good as the ones previously listed.

Avoid margarine. If you have any at home please, throw it away. Butter is an acceptable alternative and should also be purchased organically to eliminate the pesticides, antibiotics and growth hormones that are in the commercial brands. Your butter and eggs should be organic. Please note: "Phil's" eggs are not organic. They are acceptable, but less than optimal. Organic Valley eggs are organic, or any that state so on the carton. However, if you have a problem with heart disease you should limit cholesterol as much as possible and severely restrict butter and eggs. It is important to NOT eat eggs daily or you will become allergic to them. Every other day would be the most frequent you should eat them.

3. Milk: It will be very important to stop all milk products. This includes not only skim milk, but also ice cream, and especially cheese. Lactaid or acidophilus milk is NOT acceptable. Raw milk (unpasteurized) would be acceptable for most people but is not commercially available. Raw milk cheese is acceptable for most people. It would be helpful to avoid yogurt as it is made from pasteurized milk. Avoid ice cream as it is the most common cause of head pain trigger. Because you are off all milk products, you should consider a calcium supplement. If you tolerate citrus fruits, use calcium citrate as your calcium source. Milk is also an important source of vitamin D. If you stop milk, you should be on a vitamin D supplement (400 IU) from November to March as there is not enough sunlight for your body to produce this important bone building supplement if you live up north.

4. No Fruit Juices: Store bought fruit juices are frequently contaminated with mold and it is best to avoid them. They also contain a huge source of refined carbohydrates. Each glass of juice has more sugar (8 teaspoons) than a glass of soda (even if no sugar is added). Although it contains a natural sugar, fructose, it will still negatively affect your immune system. Try to avoid ALL juices, including organic juices. Gatorade type sports drinks also need to be avoided.

5. Eat Organic Meat and No Pork: Pigs are scavenger animals and are frequently contaminated with parasites. It would be best to avoid all ham and pork products. Pork can be heavily contaminated with mold spores in its fat. Pork is also used in labs to culture cancer cells as it increases their growth. Buffalo,venison, and lamb are better options since they are game animals and have less pesticides. Dominicks sells Laura's beef which uses no hormones or antibiotics. White chicken and turkey are acceptable. Avoid processed, cured, smoked, or dried meats, such as bacon, sausage, ham, hot dogs, or luncheon meats. Try to purchase only fresh cuts of meat that have no hormones, chemicals or pesticides. Avoid ground meat products like ground beef or turkey as they can be contaminated with bacteria. Blood group A individuals are best served by avoiding meat and poultry.

6. Avoid or Limit Wheat. If you are blood type O wheat is not your friend and you should avoid it completely. Other blood types are not as severely affected but I believe that most people's health is improved by avoiding this grain. This also includes durham flour and semolina which most pasta is made from. You can obtain most of your fiber from vegetables which is a far healthier choice. If you do not need to limit your grain intake then you might do well with spelt or kamut breads (Nikomus 800-367-0358) and pasta.

7. Avoid All Corn Products: It would be best to stop all corn products, including popcorn and corn chips. Corn is NOT a vegetable but a grain. Corn and corn products are often difficult to digest and can contain mold toxins that can be very toxic for the body. Please avoid all foods with corn listed in the first five ingredients.

8. No Bananas /Oranges: It would be best to avoid oranges, and bananas. There is 300% more potassium in dark green vegetables such as kale than there is in bananas. Bananas also have concentrated sugar levels. Local fruits like apples, plums, and strawberries would be better. However, be careful and do not have more than one serving of fruit per day. The best time to eat the fruit would be before bed as it would help increase the amount of tryptophan crossing the blood brain barrier which will increase serotonin levels and improve any depression tendencies.

9. No Shellfish. It would be wise to avoid and eliminate all shellfish (lobsters, crabs, shrimp, etc) as these scavengers are frequently contaminated with parasites and viruses.

10. Avoid or Limit White or Red Potatoes This food will raise insulin levels beyond what would be considered ideal in most people. If you are of normal weight,are healthy, and are blood type B or AB, they are acceptable. Try never to have commercially prepared french fries as they are some of the most toxic food on the planet, filled with 100% trans fatty acids. Jerusalem artichokes are a great alternative for many people.

11. Salt: Most people are actually harmed by very low salt diets. However, you should not use your current table salt. Instead, obtain "Real Salt". Conventionally processed salt is dried at over 1200EF. This heating changes the chemical structure of the salt. There are also harmful additives and chemicals in the salt. Real Salt is in our office for $3.00. Please use it liberally on your greens (i.e. kale) to decrease their bitterness.

12. Weight Control: If you need to lose weight, I would strongly recommend purchasing The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program, or Carhoydrate Addicted Kids by Heller. The book describes the importance of restricting potatoes and grains, like bread and pasta, to one meal per day with no snacks. This will reduce insulin levels and decrease body weight dramatically and permanently. You can skip immediately to page 107 to start the program. Do not forget about the restricted vegetable list on page 123. Please follow my recommendations in this handout whenever there is a conflict with the book and ALWAYS eat some carbohydrates with every meal! If you need to lose weight or lower your cholesterol or blood pressure, do NOT have the reward meal.

13. Increase Protein. Most adults will need 50-120 grams of protein per day depending on gender, body weight, and activity level. You should try to rotate these foods and not have the same ones every day. SHELLED raw sunflower, pumpkin or sesame seeds and raw nuts like pecans, walnut or almonds (avoid cashews and peanuts), are available through Jaffe (760-749-1133). Please soak seeds and nuts over night for better digestion. You can use a dehydrator (800-572-9549) at 95 degrees to crunch up the seeds and nuts. You can also add shredded coconut to some of your meals to add calories (also available from Jaffe). Please refrigerate or freeze these items as they are perishable. Also review the handout on soy for further details on why this food should be avoided unless fermented or soaked for several days (rinse every 12 hours) and cooked till soft like regular beans. Blood type A people do well on pecans, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin, sessame, and sunflower seeds, fish, chicken, turkey, lentils, pinto, azuki, and great northern beans, eggs, tempeh, bee pollen, chlorella, and spirulina.

14. Beans and Legumes. These are generally excellent foods and should be consumed. It is important to only eat beans that are acceptable for your blood type, though. (Eat Right For Your Type) Remember that beans have more carbohydrates and are a source of good, but not complete, proteins. Use some additional proteins with them if they are the primary protein source of your meal. Also please soak beans (not lentils) for 48-72 hours, rinsing every 12 hours prior to cooking them. You can also cook them for 8 hours in a crockpot and the protein will be more easily digested.

15. Avoid soy unless it is fermented or sprouted. Most soy is NOT a health food. Although it has many beneficial properties, it also has digestive enzymes inhibitors that will impair your ability to break down protein and also phytic acid which will bind minerals. Fermented soy and soybean sprouts will remove these items and allow the soy to be utilized. Tempeh (in the frozen food section of the health food store) would be acceptable, but you should avoid tofu, soy protein products, soy milk and especially soy baby formula which is a disaster and should never be used for infants

CHEW YOUR FOOD!!!

It is very important to chew your food properly. Try to chew your food to a liquid form and then swallow it. This will pre- digest your food with the enzymes in your saliva. It will also provide neurological stimulation of your stomach and pancreas to increase their acid and digestive enzyme production. Avoid chewing gum for this same reason. It is also helpful not to talk while you are chewing your food as this interferes with optimal digestion. Please try not to drink fluids with your meals as this will dilute the gastric digestive contents and make it more difficult to digest. If you need a few sips of water during the meal, that would be fine.

Do Not Microwave to Cook or Heat up Food! Microwaves can seriously deplete foods of their nutrients. Even worse, microwaved food may cause pathological changes in your body. It is no surprise that microwave heating of food results in losses of nutrients because all heating methods do this. However, microwave heating appears to produce the greatest losses. Microwaves are high frequency electromagnetic waves that alternate in positive and negative directions causing vibration of food molecules up to 2.5 billion times per second. This creates friction and heat which can destroy the fragile structure of vitamins and enzymes. Once their structure is altered, they can not perform their desired function in your body. Clinical studies show that microwave heating of milk or cooking of vegetables is associated with a decline in hemoglobin levels. These reductions may contribute to anemia, rheumatism, fever, and thyroid deficiency.

Sleep and Exercise

Maximize you melatonin production by walking for 30-60 minutes around noon. It will be important to sleep in complete darkness. Window coverings which block all light will be helpful and please do not turn on any lights if you have to get up to empty your bladder. Even the smallest amount of light exposure during the night will impair or completely suppress melatonin production.

Sunlight and EMF Radiation

We all should strive to have one hour of sunshine a day, preferably from 11-1. Sunlight into your retina is a very important nutrient. You will get the full benefits if you do not obstruct the light with glasses or contacts. Our retinas were designed to receive the full spectrum of solar radiation. When you wear a contact lens, certain frequencies are screened out, and this may cause some problems over many years. The concern regarding skin cancer is misdirected. Of course we should not get burned or look directly into the sun; but small amounts of daily sunshine on our skin and in our eyes is ESSENTIAL to good health. You can combine sun exposure with a walk to satisfy your exercise requirements. If your symptoms worsen in winter, you should consider installing full spectrum lighting in your bathroom, kitchen, eating area, and work environment. We have ones you can screw into your sockets in our office. Do NOT use the neodium bulbs as they are color corrected--NOT full spectrum. This will compensate for the loss of sun on your skin during the winter. They are also available for incandescent fixtures. Please avoid low frequency (60 hertz) pulsating electromagnetic fields such as those found in electric blankets and waterbed heaters. Also avoid electric razors and close exposure to any AC/DC transformer for appliances you plug into a wall, and do not carry keys that open your car doors with radio waves in your pocket.

Drugs

Minimize the unnecessary use of drugs and seek safe and effective alternatives when possible. Especially troublesome are antibiotics, anti-ulcer drugs, birth control pills or estrogen for menopause. If you take Tylenol regularly, you should be on N-acetyl cysteine to prevent liver damage. Rather than go on an antibiotic from your general physician for your next illness, you should call our office for a natural alternative.

Good Bacteria

Live active cultures of Lactobacillus, Acidophilus, and Bifidus are important. These are the normal good inhabitants of the gut that will help to control the yeast and bad bacteria in your gut. They are living and are best kept refrigerated. There are literally dozens of different types on the market and the majority of them simply do not work. The supplements we sell in our office are some of the best and are generally less expensive than supplements at the store. If you are severely allergic to milk, be sure to get the dairy free form. This type of supplement is best in a powder form. We use a new type vendor called Flora Source that is ultra potent has 11 times as many baceteria and 14 different strains. Use ¼ teaspoon of the powder once a day or more if you have problems with yeast, bloating, gas, or diarrhea. It is best to take immediately before meals as the food will provide a good medium for continued growth of good bacteria. Dissolve the powder in enough water to drink easily but add a tiny pinch of salt or powdered vitamin C to the water first. Do not use tap water as the chlorine will kill the bacteria. Do NOT put this in hot tea or coffee. Extreme cold, light, or dampness will also destroy the bacteria. A good way to take it when away from home is to put your doses in a small empty opaque pill bottle. Doses for several days can be kept at room temperature with minimal deterioration.

Bowel Movements

It will be very important to have two to three bowel movements a day. Ideally they should be effortless and odorless and float in the toilet bowl. If your bowel movements are not at this frequency let us know as we can recommend additional treatments. Magnesium is especially helpful. We have a 150 mg Magnesium Citrate. Please start your dose at one tablet twice a day. You can increase this to four tablets twice a day (two grams) if necessary. You can go up to eight per day in divided doses for severe cases. Diarrhea is the only side effect of magnesium and one can easily reduce the dose if this occurs. If the magnesium does not work, you can also use aloe vera capsules.

Supplements:

Please avoid iron in all your supplements unless your serum ferritin is decreased. It is rarely needed and can be quite toxic. Multiple vitamins are generally not necessary. We have a blood test to identify specific nutrient recommendations for you based on your unique biochemistry. It is also important to smell your vitamin in the bottle. If they smell bad, you should not take them. It is your body's signal that they are not good for you. A conenvenient way to store and transport your supplements is a small fishing tackle box (available at sports store).

Dental Care

Be cautious of root canals as they can have many adverse consequences for your health. Ask for our handout on this if you need it. Also avoid fluoride. It should NOT be used in your toothpaste, water, as a supplement or in your dental office. Fluoride is a metabolic poison and will actually damage your teeth. There is enough fluoride in a tube of toothpaste to kill a small child. It is also very important that you do not have any new "silver" amalgam fillings put in. These are actually 50% mercury and have been clearly shown to have adverse effects on your health. If you want to replace your silver fillings, we can recommend dentists who can use Wholostore for the fillings and Vectris from Targis (carbon not metal based) for the crowns. Avoid ceramic and porcelain crowns as they have metal in them. Avoid dental sealants for chlildren as they are potent cancer causing xenoestrogens. High speed drilling should be used cautiously as it can increase the temperature of the tooth which can kill the nerve and resonant frequencies of the drill can also damage the toot. This can save you thousands of dollars if you have them done properly the first time.

Hormones

If you are a woman having difficulties with your periods or are past the age of 50 or a man with prostate problems, you should consider natural progesterone supplementation. Dr. Lee's book,What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause, is an inexpensive paperback that goes into greater detail. (The book covers all aspects of female hormones, NOT just menopause.)..

Antiperspirants

Do not use conventional antiperspirants as they are full of aluminum which is a toxic substance. You can wash your armpits daily with soap and a washcloth as an alternative.

Cookware

It would be best to avoid ALL uncoated metal cookware. Aluminum should never be used. Stainless steel is not as ideal as porcelain or enamel coated metal or glassware which is inert and will not add toxic metal to your food. Teflon coated cookware is less than optimal but is acceptable unless it is chipped.

Proper Breathing

Proper breathing is essential to control the anxiety, stresses, and tensions of everyday life. We offer one hour classes to teach this valuable skill. The cost of the course is one office visit. A 200 page book on breathing is included.

Immunizations

There is now compelling evidence to support that current childhood vaccine programs may cause serious disturbances of your child's immune system. PLEASE review "Vaccines, Are They Really Safe and Effective," before you consent to vaccinating your child. Religious and medical exemptions are available and your child CAN go to school without receiving the vaccinations.

Emotional Trauma

Communicating the truth is an important biological principle. A powerful way to increase your immune system is to write about your most traumatic experience in your life for 15 minutes each day for one week.

What Can I Eat For Breakfast?

A simple solution would be to double your dinner and have the left overs for breakfast. Eggs are great but should only be eaten 3-4 times per week. Try to have some vegetables and limit the grains.

Keep Your Kitchen Clean

Find a small sprayer bottle and fill it with ShakLee Basic H or a ten to one solution of bleach. Use this regularly to clean your kitchen countertops, sink drains, refrigerator handles and faucet handles. This should also be done immediately after you handle any raw meat. Also clean your dish cloth and kitchen sponge in the dishwasher or soak it in a bleach solution. This will decrease your risk for acquiring food borne infection by over one million fold. Use latex gloves when working with the chlorine bleach to limit exposure to the chlorine.
