Blog 32: HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on January 26, 2014| 7 Comments »

STOP THE SILENT DANGER THAT KILLS WITHOUT WARNING

CATEGORY: 3: Blockage

RECOMMENDED SUPPLEMENT: Lecithin

It is the day after Thanksgiving as I begin this post. I spent yesterday with a family of friends ranging from an exasperated teenager, who ate only hot buttered dinner rolls smothered with mashed potatoes—no gravy, she was on a diet—as she glared at the mother who refused to buy her a car on her nearing 16th birthday, to a 95-year-old great-grandpa who lamented about everyone having their face shoved into some kind of machine all the time. If it’s a phone it’s supposed to be next to your ear, not with your nose buried in it. There was a library with big comfortable chairs, perfect soft lighting, and shelves filled with so many classics it could make a book lover weep. Luckily, I had my hankie. They had to pry me out of one of the chairs when it was time to leave. I had a wonderful time.

I also ate too much; seconds on everything. I had no shame. When I got home I went straight to the refrigerator where I swallowed 10 Lecithin softgels, one after the other. The meal I had just put away was full of cholesterol, which would turn to sludge and plaque in my bloodstream, putting me at risk of numerous blockage disorders, including high cholesterol. Lecithin would start the emulsifying process right away, keeping the cholesterol particles in suspension, separated, until they could be processed, and utilized or eliminated.

Definition: Emulsifying Process: It is important to understand that emulsification is the key, and the only way to avoid the long list of blockage disorders that kill millions every year. The emulsification process permits the combining of two substances that normally would not mix, like oil and water, or cholesterol and blood. It does this by breaking down the oily globules into particles so minute they mix easily with water—despite the fact that oil and water don’t mix naturally.  When you emulsify any kind of fat globule you essentially make it behave in a water soluble manner, by suspending water particles throughout its mass, forcing it to combine with liquids into a smooth mixture, and to remain as a mixture over time. The emulsifying process enables large fat globules to be broken down into smaller evenly distributed particles that will not clump together to form plaque and other organic debris that cause blockage disorders like high cholesterol.  Think of the Giant in Jack and The Bean Stalk. He was fearsome and hard to control because of his large size. Suppose Jack’s magic beans had given him additional special powers, and he had cast a spell that turned that one giant into a hundred itty bitty pipsqueaks he could crush underfoot and easily control. It could be said then that Jack had “emulsified” the Giant, taken a large dangerous mass and broken it down into smaller controllable bits with no ability to do harm. The magic spell would be called Lecithin. That’s what Lecithin does, turns large fat globules into tiny fat particles so small your system can handle them without harm or distress. It works equally well on any kind of fat, including cholesterol.

CHOLESTEROL TAKES UP PRECIOUS SPACE IN YOUR ARTERIES

The more cholesterol you have in your bloodstream, the less space there is for blood to flow. It’s that simple. There is a finite amount of space inside your body where necessary processes can be performed, and every function has its own allotted space. The problem with cholesterol is that it takes up room in your arteries reserved for the flow of blood. Your coronary system of arteries, veins, and capillaries is like a complex series of highways and roads that transport vital nutrients and oxygen to every part of your body. Like a real life road system, arterial byways must be kept clear because space on them is limited.

If there is an accident on a real road, wreckage is removed as quickly as possible so other traffic can move past. Otherwise, a complete flow shutdown is possible. Then you have traffic gridlock. Cholesterol has to be removed quickly from your bloodstream, like those wrecked cars on the highway, or it will build up and eventually prevent enough blood from reaching all the spots serviced by the arterial system. Then you have arterial gridlock.

This leads to countless blockage disorders, but most immediate are heart attack and blood clot stroke due to the flow stoppage. Thus, the core goal in trying to control cholesterol levels is to get it out of your bloodstream quickly, before the globules can clump together, rob space, and cause damage. Every steak, ice cream cone, and chicken leg, every coconut shrimp, butter pattie, and scrambled egg you eat robs a bit more space inside your arteries. That’s where Lecithin comes in.

THE STICKY GAME

To help you better understand the connection between Lecithin and cholesterol, let’s pretend there’s a new game called Sticky. The game runs 24 hours and has as many as a hundred players at any given time. The game board is the size of two football fields, and is composed of criss-crossing channels of various circumference that players must navigate in order to find a single exit, and collect a monetary prize, ranging from $1,000 to $100,000, depending on the player’s time. The trick is to avoid getting Stuck and being unable to exit. If a player gets Stuck and has to be removed by clean-up, she is fined $500 for impeding the flow of the game and endangering other players.

Two things make Sticky a difficult game: (1) All players must wear special Velcro  uniforms, and the channels are lined with Velcro. If a player gets stuck to a wall he can’t reach the exit and will have to be extracted; (2) Players can only exit one at a time. If two players get Stuck together, they can’t get out of the game even if they find the exit. Once two players are Stuck together, it’s only a matter of time before other players get Stuck to them and blockages occur.

Here, the players are cholesterol particles that must navigate the channels that represent the arterial system. The exit is the liver, where you want the particles to go once they’ve made a hasty departure from the bloodstream. The monetary prize represents the importance of the speed at which the particles leave the bloodstream. Lecithin is the cleanup crew. (Some games are poorly managed and either don’t have a cleanup crew or don’t have a large enough staff, so that the channels are narrowed by Stuck players and difficult to get through. This would be comparable to someone who never takes Lecithin.) Velcro symbolizes the nature of cholesterol particles to “stick” to each other and the walls of your arteries.

You can see the connection between the Sticky game and what goes on inside your body with cholesterol. Please keep this in mind as you read.

CHOLESTEROL AND BLOCKAGES

Cholesterol is a waxy, greasy, high viscosity substance that is elemental to the fats in your body. It comes from two sources: (1) your liver, which produces all you need for good health, and sometimes more than you need, and (2) the food you eat that contains it. That means healthy people don’t have to depend on diet for cholesterol. Highest in cholesterol are animal origin foods including meat, eggs, milk, cheese, and butter. Cholesterol is even found in fish. Plant origin foods have no cholesterol, and along with grains actually help lower overall cholesterol.

Definition: Viscosity: This is a way of measuring how fast or slow a fluid moves. A fluid with high viscosity is thick, resists motion, and moves slowly. A fluid with low viscosity is thin and moves quickly. Compare how fast water, cooking oil, or molasses would flow through a hole in a paper cup. Water, thin and with very low viscosity that doesn’t resist motion, would drain quickly; cooking oil would take longer because it’s thicker; and molasses would take the longest because it is the thickest, with the highest viscosity of the three.  Blood Viscosity is a measure of the thickness of blood and how fast it moves. Cholesterol is sticky and contributes to making blood thick and high viscosity, which in turn makes it slow moving inside your arterial system. That’s why having high blood viscosity is linked to blockage disorders like high cholesterol.

Blockage disorders are a whole subset of health problems in my paradigm of wellness, which I call The Seven Categories of Illness. (Blog 30) Blockages are the Category 3 disease group, and high cholesterol is in that category, along with many other disorders. A high cholesterol diet that causes arterial blockages, like my Thanksgiving abuse, puts one at risk for many health problems besides high cholesterol. But all blockage disorders can be treated successfully with Lecithin, because of its emulsifying abilities and because all blockages have the same root cause.

What starts as high cholesterol will contribute to the development of other blockage disorders, from lung congestion to angina (chest pains), heart attack, coronary artery disease, erectile dysfunction, gallstones, blood clot stroke, glaucoma, arthrosclerosis plaque, high blood pressure, loss of mobility in joints, fatty liver disease, Alzheimer’s, and so many more. They all stem from blockages and will all respond favorably to Lecithin.

However, as much as it can wreak havoc in your system, cholesterol is found throughout your body and is vital to good health. You need it, but too much can harm and even kill you.

TYPES OF CHOLESTEROL

Based on behavior inside the body, there are two primary cholesterols, referred to as good and bad. If the cholesterol globule can quickly exit the bloodstream and get to the liver for processing, it is considered good, as in well behaved, because it doesn’t remain long enough in the bloodstream to create a blockage. But if the cholesterol can’t get out of the bloodstream quickly, it stays there long enough to get stuck to other particles, form plaque and stick to the walls, hence bad. Remember the Sticky game.

THE TWO CHOLESTEROLS 

High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HD): This is low viscosity cholesterol, fast moving good cholesterol, so called because it gets out of the bloodstream quickly and promptly checks in at the liver for processing. It does not contribute to blockages in your arteries or elsewhere. You can remember the difference by thinking of “H” for healthy, or that HD moves like the hare. Quickly.

Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LD): This is high viscosity cholesterol, slow moving bad cholesterol, so called because it stays too long in your blood stream. Its particles stick to each other and the walls of your arterial system, hardening and narrowing the channels and causing blockages as they accumulate. You can remember the difference by thinking of “L” for life-threatening, or that LD moves like the tortoise. Lazily.
Definition: Lipoprotein: A cholesterol particle can’t transport itself in your bloodstream without help, so each particle latches on to a protein and uses it to travel through the bloodstream, like a passenger in a rickshaw. Clinically, a fat is referred to as a lipid; hence the protein that transports a lipid is called a lipoprotein.

 WHY LECITHIN LOWERS CHOLESTEROL

As a natural emulsifier, Lecithin has the ability to keep organic particles in suspension as a mixture, preventing them from clumping together. It is extracted from soybeans and other natural sources. It is known to be safe, and has been used in our food supply for over 100 years. Take a look in your cabinets and refrigerator and you’ll see Lecithin used in many foods and cosmetics, because of its ability to maintain the stability of a mixture—to keep it in a mixed state.

Without Lecithin, when you opened a box of biscuit mix, it wouldn’t come out in a nice powdery stream, but would plop into your bowl in funky clumps. Without Lecithin, facial moisturizer wouldn’t be creamy and smooth, but would show the oils coagulated and greasy. Without Lecithin, mayonnaise would be a congealed mess; likewise, peanut butter. Lecithin is what keeps ingredients in suspension, as a mixture.

Some food and cosmetic producers opt for chemicals to replace Lecithin because they’re cheaper. Something has to be used to stabilize the mixed components in commercial food and cosmetic products or they would separate from the mixture. Lecithin is the natural way. It’s Lecithin’s ability to keep organic particles in suspension—mixed—that makes it such a valuable food supplement.

It isn’t such a huge leap from witnessing Lecithin’s known properties on other organic and biological material outside the body to understanding that it can do the same thing inside it.

READER COMMENT ON LECITHIN’S EFFECTIVENESS LOWERING CHOLESTEROL

The following is from one of my other blogs, posted by someone who is using Lecithin to treat a different blockage disorder than high cholesterol.

“Thank you for your helpful advice…. Using Lecithin my triglycerides dropped from over 200 to 137, and my total cholesterol dropped to 125. Now, my concern is that I read that one’s cholesterol should not be lower than 160 since your brain, hormones, etc. need cholesterol. Is the emulsified cholesterol still available for brain and hormone requirements? Your insight would be appreciated.”  Thanks, Ken Johnson

Mr. Johnson wasn’t trying to lower his cholesterol or triglycerides. He was treating something completely different, but since all three problems are blockage disorders they all responded to Lecithin. He guessed correctly that emulsified cholesterol is still available for the body’s health requirements. Cholesterol is measured by a blood test that indicates how much is in the bloodstream. Once cholesterol leaves the bloodstream and enters the liver for processing it is still available to the body to use. All that Lecithin does is prevent cholesterol from blocking your arteries. It doesn’t stop your body from utilizing the cholesterol.

The Difference Between Triglycerides And Cholesterol 

Triglycerides and cholesterol are separate types of fats that circulate in your bloodstream. The function of triglycerides is to store unused calories until you need them for energy, while cholesterol builds cells. Alcohol, sugar, and calories you don’t immediately burn are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells throughout your body. High concentrations of triglycerides indicate an elevated risk of stroke and other blockages, just like cholesterol.  

MANAGING YOUR CHOLESTEROL NATURALLY

Genetics aren’t important when it comes to high cholesterol. Even if you have family members with the disorder, or your liver makes more cholesterol than you need, Lecithin will keep your levels low. This is true because what is really inherited are poor eating habits, and resulting nutritional deficiencies.

Unless you eat fruits, vegetables and grains exclusively, you have a daily additional intake of cholesterol your body doesn’t need but must still process. Lecithin is the answer. Also helpful are making a few dietary changes to include more fresh fruits and vegetables, regular exercise, and a little restraint from time to time. A good balance is never have a cooked food without eating something fresh and raw with it, whether fruit or vegetable. Canned and frozen products do not qualify unless you do not have access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

HIGH CHOLESTEROL IN CATS AND DOGS

Cats and dogs are also susceptible to high cholesterol, and other blockage disorders. Lecithin can also help them to avoid these health problems.

Last summer fate brought me a kitten, a Calico with orange and black markings on top, white underneath, beautiful green eyes, and a tail twice her size. I named her Nikki. She was mischievous and the name seemed right. When I brought her home she fit in my palms.

The photo on top is Nikki on Christmas morning opening presents from her godparents in Seattle. In the middle shows how Nikki helps me get ready for work everyday. Below is a nice close up of my pretty girl.

Nikki was born in a comic book store to a stray the clerks fed when they remembered. She was taken from her mom at about six weeks and given to a friend who shortly thereafter had to leave for Europe. It was either me or the pound for the little girl. I watched her sitting up on those tiny hind legs, batting a piece of paper like it was the best toy in the world, and fell in love.

No one was certain exactly when the little fluff had been born, but I think she got her shots and spaying late. From the beginning Nikki was always sneezing; sometimes in a series of ten or more. Then she got digestion problems and stopped eating after just two weeks. I naturally reasoned that she needed more nutrition. I started giving her at alternate meals, drops of Beta Carotene, or Vitamin D3, or Vitamin E, or Cod Liver Oil. I also give her ¼ teaspoon of Lecithin granules a couple times a week, mixed in with one of two daily wet meals. I read a list of elements harmful to cats and was confident that these supplements were ok.

During the holidays Nikki’s godmother gave me a book, The Natural Cat, by Anitra Frazier, written with Norma Eckroate. I was relieved to read that I was taking the right path by supplementing Nikki’s diet. Frazier suggests creating a mixture of equal parts wheat bran, yeast, kelp or mixed trace mineral powder, bonemeal, and Lecithin granules. Yes, Frazier recommends Lecithin for cats because it emulsifies fat in a cat’s diet the same way it does in a human’s diet. And thereby prevents blockage disorders. Frazier recommends adding ½ to 1 teaspoon of this mixture to each meal, totaling 1-2 teaspoons per day. She also adds weekly supplementation of Vitamin E softgels, and Vitamin A & D softgels. (p. 68) I’m going to wait until Nikki is a year old before putting her on this mixture regimen. Kittens have sensitive stomachs and Nikki’s is especially sensitive.

I also treated a large loveable dog named Dino. We even did a wellness video together. At each of his two daily meals I recommended adding a teaspoon of Lecithin granules to keep his arthritic joints mobile and to fight high cholesterol, and a teaspoon of bran for roughage. Dino also got a Beta Carotene 25,000 IU softgel and a Vitamin E 400 IU softgel, each hidden inside its own cream cheese ball and then buried in the food. He lived to be 18.

Lecithin Granules are best used in blender drinks and sprinkled on salads, fresh cut fruit, and cereals. Make sure to consume it uncooked, in its natural state. You can use it in cooked recipes for texture and smoothness, but those amounts do not count toward your daily maintenance dose. One tablespoon of Lecithin granules equals six softgels. You can’t take too much. Feel free to use additional amounts liberally of either the granules or softgels.

Lecithin granules ¼  to 1 teaspoon depending on size of animal ¼ to 1 teaspoon   depending on size of animal Puritan’s Pride #1064 NA
Lecithin granules are odorless and tasteless. The granules mix easily into wet food. They are harder to go unnoticed over dry food. It’s probably a good idea to wait until an animal is a year old before putting her on this daily regimen.

NOTES

• I recommend Puritan’s Pride because their Lecithin contains a minimum of 70 mg of phosphatides in each 1200 mg softgel, equivalent to 61 percent. The value of a Lecithin product is determined by the percentage of phosphatides, as they activate the fat emulsifying process. You may use another brand but make sure it conforms to these specifications.

• When you use Lecithin regularly, in the beginning you may notice you are expelling more wastes than usual. This happens because Lecithin breaks up blockages, causing mucus and other wastes to be released. This is a good sign and will taper off as your body cleanses itself.

• Lecithin will NOT cause chunks of plaque to rupture, fall off the artery wall and threaten a flow stoppage. It emulsifies, working on a molecular level, keeping fat particles in suspension, making sure they don’t clump together and cause a blockage.

• Some of you are concerned that soybean production is almost entirely controlled by corporations practicing genetic modification. They are in the process of obtaining ownership of the very food we eat, an ugly business. You’re worried that certain soya Lecithin may be coming from these genetically altered soybeans. This bothers me too, and I avoid these food types whenever possible. But if you can’t find Lecithin that you are sure is from non-modified soybeans, it becomes a question of the tiger in the room versus the tiger in the backyard. There is definitely danger presented by the tiger in the yard, but not nearly as much as that posed by the tiger in the room with you. Blockage disorders are the tiger in the room. Genetic modification is the tiger in the backyard. You’ll get sick and die faster from a blockage disorder than you will from consuming genetically modified soybeans. There is also the alternative of sunflower Lecithin, which readers tell me works fine.

Please be nice to each other, and look for my next blog: Blog 33: Crohn’s Disease, where I tell you how to control this chronic inflammation and get back to eating what you want.

BLOG 31: INTRODUCING LYNN CAPEHART WELLNESS FOUNDATION

Posted in Uncategorized on October 5, 2013| 2 Comments »

I am happy to report that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service has granted 501(c)(3) tax exempt status to Lynn Capehart Wellness Foundation, Inc., meaning that any donation given to support our goals of curing disease and promoting wellness and longevity through natural drug-free treatments is a tax exempt contribution to a public charity, and a write-off on your tax return.

You may make a tax-free donation to LCWF with a credit card or a bank account through www.paypal.com to the email address lynncapehartnonprofit@outlook.com. If you want to send a check or money order, please contact me directly through the same email. We are actively seeking donations and would appreciate any help you can give. There is a lot we can do to educate people and show them how to take control of their health and live longer, happier lives, if we have the funds.

All donations will be placed in our General unrestricted account, and from there disbursed within the guidelines for non profits, to one of three areas:

Area 1. WELLNESS   

We will continue to implement new programs, but for now we would like to concentrate on the following: 

A. Nutrition Grants: We will provide partial and full supplement-cost grants based on need. Depending on the disease or disorder, the monthly cost to control it with food supplements can be $35-$250 or more. Many people cannot afford this, even though it would mean being completely healthy. Some of them have health insurance but the companies won’t cover food supplements, even though it would mean lowering their overall costs. This program will also permit us to compile statistics from each participant that support the premise that nutrition heals all on its own, which will feed into our clinical studies.

B. Educational Forums: We will educate people to remain disease free through completely natural means. Too many people know too little about what’s happening inside their bodies. And it’s not all that complicated if you have the proper education. These workshops, seminars, classes, and interactive lectures will explain how to use food and supplements to prevent and eliminate any disorder.

They will include treatments for specific diseases like cancer, asthma, arthritis, and other disorders. Participants will also learn how to feed and train their children to stop childhood obesity. There will be lessons in shopping held right in the markets, and cooking classes to show how to  prepare food for maximum nutrition. There will be anti-aging workshops to explain what happens inside the body as it ages, and easy techniques to slow it down. Plus, many more subjects.

C. Clinical Studies: We will fund studies for specific diseases, and the publication of the results. For a long time I’ve been adamant that my theories on healing are more efficacious than any medical techniques available today. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence to support my statements—I’ve cured thousands—but I keep getting requests for actual “studies.” Physicians, especially, clamor for those kinds of  results. Even though the logic is staring them in the face, they want to see it written down and corroborated.

D. Research & Development: We will research other subjects that impact health, such as new ways of delivering high doses of food supplements to people unable to eat and/or take the amount of supplements they need for whatever reason. We would also like to develop and market effective natural products.

Area 2. OPERATING EXPENSES

This may not sound glamorous, but it’s important and pays for the nuts and bolts administrative costs—communications, salaries, office equipment and supplies, insurance, marketing, postage, rentals, legal, and accounting, among other things, and without which we cannot operate.

Area 3. BUILDING FUND 

Money in this fund will go towards the purchase of a space to house the Lynn Capehart Wellness Center, in San Diego, California, where people can come for natural treatments, workshops, seminars, classes, interactive lectures, yoga and targeted exercise.

Blog 30: ESSAY 2: THE SEVEN CATEGORIES OF ILLNESS

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , on September 1, 2013| 20 Comments »

NO MATTER THE NAME OR NATURE OF AN ILLNESS, IT CAN BE CATEGORIZED WITHIN ONE OR MORE OF SEVEN SIMPLE CLASSIFICATIONS. WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE UNDERLYING PREMISE FOR ALL OF MY THEORIES ON HEALING. IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO BE SICK AGAIN.

Currently, it is estimated that there are from 12,000 to over 100,000 documented diseases, some of which affect a handful of people, like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare degenerative brain disorder that affects one person per million per year worldwide, to others that affect millions, like cancer, which kills almost eight million people annually worldwide. These diseases are separated by the medical industry into four types, pathogenic, deficiency, heredity, and physiological, but actually all diseases are deficiency based and can be treated and cured with nutrition.

Regardless of how prevalent a disease is or which type it is labeled, all diseases can fit into one or more of seven categories. Let me put that another way: there are only seven things that can go wrong with the body, not 100,000. From the outside looking in, they may appear to be 100,000 different disorders, but in fact, every single one of them can fit into these seven categories. The human body is not nearly as complicated as you have been led to believe. Just the opposite, it is a simple machine, easily maintained in peak condition with proper nutrition.

EINSTEIN’S CONSTANCY PRINCIPLE SUPPORTS THE SEVEN CATEGORY THEORY

I figured out the seven category theory by studying Albert Einstein’s theories on relativity. I often wondered how Dr. Einstein could be stuck here on Earth and still theorize correctly about our universe. How could he know for certain without being out there? He was able to do so because he made an important assumption at the start, on which he based all his subsequent theories. That assumption, which turned out to be correct, was that our universe is a “constant.” Dr. Einstein realized therefore, that if he could formulate a theory and prove that it worked here on Earth, since the universe is constant, he knew that the same proven theory would work equally well anywhere else within the same universe.

Dr. Einstein studied and theorized about the “larger outer” universe. The human body can be viewed as a “smaller inner” universe, and follows the same constancy rule relied on by him. The human body is a closed and constant system. Therefore, if I find a food supplement that works to open a blockage in a lung, like congestion, I know that same treatment will work to open a blockage anywhere within the same closed system, whether in an artery to prevent heart attacks, dementia, or erectile dysfunction, in the liver to prevent fatty deposits, in a toe to prevent gout, in the sinus cavity to prevent headaches and post nasal drip, in fact anywhere that a blockage exists within the same closed system.

THE SEVEN CATEGORIES

A healthy body is your second most precious gift after life itself, yours to nourish or neglect. The organic vessel you occupy needs a certain amount of continual care and upkeep. It isn’t an appliance you can plug in at birth and forget about. It will withstand a lot of physical abuse from its person before it succumbs to illness, disease, and premature aging, but the trip there is inevitable if it isn’t provided with enough nutrition. But that’s all it needs. With proper nutrition you can walk through life unscathed by disease.

The following are the seven things that can go wrong with your body. They can all be treated effectively with nutrition and the additional support of food supplements. You need the additional support of food supplements, because you can’t get enough nutrition from your diet to avoid all disease. But there is no disease or disorder that does not fall into one or more of these seven categories. Remember that all disease is directly attributable to your diet, and what you do and don’t eat.

CATEGORY 1: SIMPLE MALNUTRITION

This is where all disease and bodily malfunctions begin for ailments such as Type 2 diabetes and obesity, which are caused solely by malnutrition. When things first start to go wrong they often go unnoticed as resulting from simple malnutrition, because they are seemingly insignificant. Disorders like bleeding gums, constipation, and forgetfulness don’t seem serious and most people experience these health problems from time to time without giving them a second thought. They think this sort of malfunction is normal, just part of being alive. But it’s the first step toward more serious diseases.

Bleeding gums signal a worsening condition of weak blood vessel walls, due to a lack of Rutin, which could lead to a brain aneurism stroke. Chronic constipation means poor evacuation and subsequent retention of rotting matter in your colon from a lack of enough fresh food and Magnesium that could lead to cancer. Forgetfulness could signal a growing blockage from a lack of Lecithin that will end up as dementia and the premature loss of mental function. If these ailments are not treated properly and early with the correct nutrition, they will develop into one of five other categories. The seventh category is hormonal disruption that comes with aging and is not directly associated with malnutrition, but is still easily avoided with the correct food supplement.

CATEGORY 2: INFLAMMATION/INFECTION

If simple malnutrition goes untreated long enough it can develop into inflammation, which grows out of a lack of foods high in antioxidants, and a failure to supplement your diet with Beta Carotene and other antioxidant supplements. Without enough antioxidants, free radicals grow exponentially. When free radicals reach a threshold of oxidation, also known as decay, it triggers the body’s defenses, which manifest as inflammation, and present with pain, swelling, tenderness, and redness. Once inflammation is present, you are susceptible to any number of infections and inflammation based diseases, like cancer, asthma, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s Disease, diverticulitis, and even failure to heal properly, among others. Rampant free radical growth and inflammation are also the result of radiation poisoning, which can be treated with Beta Carotene in massive doses. Both infection and inflammation stem from exponential free radical growth.

CATEGORY 3: BLOCKAGES

Untreated simple malnutrition can also result in blockages throughout your body, which form a whole subset of diseases. When you eat something your body has trouble processing, like sirloin steak with butter sauce and a fried egg on top, baked potato with bacon bits, butter and sour cream, fried broccoli with blue cheese dressing, and ice cream with whipped cream, without also taking an emulsifier, your body has trouble breaking it down.

Without an emulsifier like Lecithin, your body can’t eliminate the organic deposits which settle in your arteries and form plaque and blood clots, in your lungs to form congestion, between your joints to cause stiffness and loss of mobility, in your penis to cause erectile dysfunction, in your eyes to cause glaucoma, in your jaw to cause TMJ, as well as, many other areas throughout your body. Once again, all these disorders appear to be independent of each other but are in fact classified under the category of blockages, and they can, therefore, all be treated with the same supplement, Lecithin.

CATEGORY 4: AUTO-IMMUNE

Another large class of diseases stem from an inappropriate reaction of your immune system, which is designed to fight off pathogenic intruders. It is your defense mechanism against diseases caused by bacterium, virus, and other microorganism. It is the moat around the castle, the army at the gate to keep out the infidels. But sometimes the army gets confused and starts attacking the castle itself, its host body. An auto-immune disorder arises when the immune system sees danger in substances, organs, and tissues normally present in the body—ones it is supposed to defend.

Unfortunately, the only treatment the medical industry has for an auto-immune disease is to suppress and sometimes completely shut down the immune system. The problem with this is obvious: yes you stop the particular inappropriate reaction by putting the system to sleep, but you also disable the body’s entire defense system, making it susceptible to all sorts of other pathogenic attacks. What would happen if you gave knock out drugs to the army at the gate? All sorts of intruders would walk right past them and gain entry. That’s why so many people living with an auto-immune disease and taking prescription medicines to suppress the immune system end up in the ER, with sometimes life threatening problems unrelated to the original disease.

The list of auto-immune diseases is extensive and includes disorders as common as seasonal allergies, to type 1 diabetes, eczema, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Graves’ Disease, vertigo and dizziness (Meniere’s disease), lupus, and Addison’s Disease, among others. Again, despite the differing nature of these disorders, since they are all auto-immune based, they can all be treated with the same food supplements and prevented, controlled and eliminated. The idea is not to shut down or suppress the immune system but to calm it down so it stops overreacting and attacking its host. This can be done with the correct combinations of food supplements, including Bee Pollen and Monavie Active.

CATEGORY 5: VIRUS

A virus is any infecting agent that multiples inside the body, corrupting systems and causing disease, sometimes even death. The list of viral based diseases is extensive, including the flu, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, yellow fever, mumps, shingles, rubella, chicken pox, Epstein Barr/mononucleosis, herpes—both genital and cold sores, even smallpox, among others. The mistake that the medical industry makes is to believe that each of these diseases needs a different type of treatment and drug.

We have to start thinking like the body does. A virus gets in and does damage in different ways, but they all have one thing in common. Despite their origin or behavior, a virus has to replicate repeated generations of itself, or it dies and you get better. Therefore, the key is to disrupt a virus’s DNA replication cycle. If you can do that, you will prevent it from spawning more generations…you will kill it off. But that’s all you have to do to end any virus: stop it from reproducing!

You see, a virus’ life span is too short for it to do any real harm inside your body. Therefore, it must replicate itself continually, so that the new generations can continue the bodily harassment against you. L-Lysine will disrupt the replication cycle of ANY virus. Any virus! Meaning, that whatever virus you contract, that same supplement can be used to stop it, because all you’re trying to stop is the reproduction cycle. We may distinguish between viruses but as long as you are able to stop them from breeding, it doesn’t matter to the body.

CATEGORY 6: EXCESS TOXICITY

This category occurs when your body becomes saturated with toxins, much like the soldiers who returned from Operation Desert Storm in the 1990-1991 Gulf War, with a disorder that was subsequently named, Gulf War Syndrome. The body has many cleansing mechanisms but when they become overloaded by too many toxins, the body will break down and present with a variety of illnesses. The women and men who were there faced an unrelenting barrage of toxins, mostly from the burning oil fields. Their lungs, livers and other organs were inundated with toxins they could not process or eliminate.

We all have trash and garbage cans in our homes. When they are full up they just won’t hold any more. Left unattended, rot sets in and the stink is profound. The body is the same: when its trash carriers are full and aren’t cleaned out, disease results.

Those of us who are fortunate enough not to have to go to war, thanks to a strong and dedicated military, still face toxin overload in our daily civilian lives. If you smoke cigarettes, live near a factory, live in a large city with a lot of motor vehicle traffic, your body becomes tainted with innumerable toxins. The United States makes an effort to control air pollution, but there are some countries (you know who they are), where it is a minor concern, and their citizens suffer accordingly. The correct food supplements like a combination of L-Cysteine and Vitamin C Complex with other nutritional support can clean out the overloaded body and return it to normalcy.

CATEGORY 7: HORMONAL DISRUPTION

Regardless of how well you treat your body, a time will come as you age, when your hormonal production breaks down. Think of it as having spent your life on an aircraft kept on automatic pilot. Suddenly, one day you notice that the ground is getting a little closer each day. That’s because the autopilot is failing. For your entire life, your hormonal autopilot has been distributing the necessary hormones throughout your body. Then it slows down and gets confused and sends out the wrong combinations, or not enough. It’s the same for men and women.

Women go through menopause, experiencing mood swings, bone loss, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, a loss of sex drive, dry aging skin and age spots, lack of energy, and perhaps the most psychologically painful—the barrel-waist look that no amount of dieting can get rid of, among other problems.

Men have it just as bad, and experience impotence, low testosterone, lack of sex drive, difficulty passing urine, mood swings, depression, reduced muscular strength, hair loss, bone loss, panic, low sperm count, incontinence, dry aging skin and age spots, and a drooping stomach hanging over the belt, among other things.

The medical industry tried to replace the natural hormone loss in women by giving them hormone replacement therapy. But there were reports of all sorts of problems, including increased incidence of cancer. That’s because the system that produces hormones in both male and female bodies is much too complex to be regulated from the outside.

You can’t use hormone replacement to properly regulate the correct amount of hormones needed by an individual, but you can take a food supplement that signals your body to continue making hormones on its own, in whatever amounts it thinks it needs. The best food supplement I have found for both men and women is DHEA/Youthful You. Depending on whether it’s taken by a man or a woman, it signals the body to continue making the appropriate amount of hormones.

THE CATEGORIES WILL OFTEN OVERLAP

Sometimes, when simple malnutrition goes untreated it worsens and morphs into more than one of the seven categories. Therefore, some diseases will be listed in more than one category, like rheumatoid arthritis, which is listed under auto-immune because that is the trigger, inflammation, which is the body’s response to the trigger, and blockages because it causes organic debris to accumulate in the joints, robbing you of mobility and freedom of movement. You could use Monavie Active alone to control RA, or if you cannot afford the expense, you could use Bee Pollen to calm down the immune system, Beta Carotene to quell the inflammation, Lecithin to break up and prevent the blockages in the joints, and iron and B12 to avoid the debilitating fatigue.

Likewise with asthma, which is listed under inflammation because it is a chronic inflammation of the lungs, and blockages because of the mucus and excess toxins that form in your lungs. You could use Beta Carotene to stop the chronic inflammation, Lecithin to break up the hardened mucus in your lungs, and L-Cysteine and Vitamin C together to remove excess toxins and ease your breathing.

CONCLUSION: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE SICK

You have been so misled for so long that I know it’s hard to believe that there are only seven things that go wrong with the body, and that they are all capable of being controlled, cured and prevented with simple, inexpensive food supplements, but I promise you that this is true. Staying healthy is easy and relatively cheap. It boggles the mind to watch the numbers being spent, as we throw billions of dollars at diseases like cancer, which can be completely cured with just Beta Carotene and Vitamin D3 taken in sufficient doses.

I know it’s hard to believe, but you have to take over control of your health now, because the medical industry doesn’t know what it’s doing and has failed you miserably. It’s not the diseases, but the ignorance that kills so many people. I read the other online sites and see the same phrases used over and over, indicating that they don’t know what causes diseases. I know what causes every disease and I know how to actually cure and prevent them by using nutrition and food supplements. Never forget that your body was constructed in the womb from the nutrition consumed by your mother. No nutrition, no you. Doesn’t it make perfect sense then that if nutrition was used to build your body, nutrition should also be used to repair it?

BLOG 29: CHAPPED LIP SKIN

Posted in Uncategorized on March 31, 2013|

PUT AN END TO SORE, DRY, FLAKY LIP SKIN

CATEGORY: 1: Simple Malnutrition

RECOMMENDED SUPPLEMENTS: Biotin and Folic Acid

You know the symptoms: your lips are dry, and/or, cracked, red, burning, flaky, peeling, sore, sometimes even bleeding, but always with that extra layer of scratchy skin. It can hurt, and the condition is noticeable when you are kissed. Biotin, along with Folic Acid, causes more moisture to be held in the lip skin, and will stop chapped lip skin. And since these two supplements can fix the problem, it tells us that if you have chapped lip skin, you have a deficiency in these supplements.

This is a great little therapy, and it works almost the same day to soften and smooth the skin on your lips. The only problem is that the day that you forget either of the daily doses is the day your chapped lip skin returns. But if you can be faithful to the therapy and make it a regular part of your daily routine, you’ll really like the improvement in the way your lips look and feel. More kissable.

To aid your lips’ ability to hold on to moisture: each night before you go to sleep, smooth on a little Shea Butter, and rub it in for a few seconds. It will penetrate overnight and aid the softening process. Use unadulterated, unrefined Shea Butter, not the marketed products with tons of other ingredients. I recommend “AAA Shea Butter,” which is nothing but unrefined Shea Butter at a good price. Contact them at 800-450-2228, Atlanta GA.

Chapped Lip Skin QUICK GLANCE CHART
Supplement Breakfast Dinner Brand Strength
Biotin 3 tablets 3 tablets Puritan’s Pride #7961 1000 mcg
Folic Acid 8 tablets 8 tablets Puritan’s Pride #2845 800 mcg
Biotin and Folic Acid are part of the B Complex, which elements work synergistically and have to be kept in balance. If you take some parts of the B Complex alone for an extended period you may end up with a deficiency caused by a lack of the missing ones. For that reason you should also take a B Complex supplement, for balance.

BLOG 26: ESSAY 1: WHY NUTRITION CAN HEAL AND PREVENT ANY PHYSICAL DISORDER

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on February 22, 2012|

IN THE BEGINNING, NUTRITION FUELS POST CONCEPTION GROWTH

A pregnant woman’s body is a biological factory, a product manufacturing site, and a distribution port for the human race. It takes in raw materials in the form of nutrition, breaks down the elements into a usable form, and shunts the majority of those resources to the design floor, the womb, where they are utilized in a combined production, resulting usually in a fairly decent product being shipped. Namely, you.

No matter how you were conceived, naturally or in a petri dish, you came to term inside one of these female factories, having grown and survived after conception on the nutrition that your mother consumed. You’ve heard the expression, “you are what you eat.” Well, in a very real sense, at birth you were what your mother ate. As there is no other way for you to get here, to this reality, it can be said that you—the body you inhabit—is literally, not figuratively, constructed from nutrition. Constructed from the same proteins, vitamins, minerals, herbs, plant extracts, and other concentrated food formulations that I recommend to heal your body and maintain wellness.

NUTRITION ENABLES GENETIC PROGRESSION

The premise for all my theories, the reason for my absolute promise to you that nutrition can heal any disease, is based on the fact that since vitamins created your body, it is logical to believe that the same nutrition can repair it. The particular genetic recipe for each of you is contained in your individual genes. But the instructions in the genetic code cannot be implemented without the addition of nutrition into the process. In other words, your genes need an energy source in order to activate and then construct your body based on your chromosomal blueprint. This energy source is none other than the food nutrition provided by your mother’s own choices and consumption patterns.

The genes you inherited turn off and on throughout your lifetime. This is one way that mama evolution keeps things interesting and ensures that you don’t pass on the same genetics to each offspring. This mix-it-up plan makes better usage of the gene pool from whence you sprang. That’s why your sister can look like dad while your brother looks just like dad’s granduncle, Ted. And you look like your mother’s great-grandaunt, Selendra, the financial investment wizard who died in 1929. Let’s say that you were lucky enough to inherit Selendra’s genes for math and financial projection. Meaning, you have within your genetics specific code for a future on Wall Street, and achieving financial stability in your youth.

A LACK OF NUTRITION LIMITS POTENTIAL

But let’s also say that you were conceived in a time of ongoing crisis or famine, and that during your manufacturing process, your mother consumed only 27 percent of the proteins, 16 percent of the B complex components, and 31 percent of important minerals that are necessary to grow an optimal human brain. While the majority of her consumed nutrition was shunted to you in the uterus, some of it was kept and utilized by your mother so she could continue functioning. Call it overhead, like you’d spend to keep any factory functioning, say for gas, electric, and cleaning services. So the percentages of these important nutritional elements were even lower for you during gestation.

In this case, there will certainly be fewer nutrients than necessary to grow the cerebral area pertaining to mathematics. And suppose that the crisis or famine situation includes a toxic atmosphere, which causes rampant free radical growth in your mother’s factory. She is eating only 25 percent of the antioxidants she needs to control free radical activity. So, even though you have the genetics, you come to term without great-grandaunt Selendra’s math abilities due to a lack of nutrition, and already predisposed to free radical inflammation based conditions, like cancer, and multiple sclerosis.

This is certainly a worst case, but I am trying to make the point that nutrition counts at every single step in the process of growing, caring for, and keeping a human body well and free of disease. It especially counts during pregnancy when the new human is under construction, and later when it needs repair.

NUTRITION BUILDS THE BODY FEATURE BY FEATURE

Pregnant women are notorious for their wild food fancies—from pickle and pomegranate casserole to peanut butter and popcorn sandwiches. But what they eat translates directly into sustenance for the growing fetus. It translates into bone and sinew, into blood vessel and brain matter, fingernails, faces, skin and hair. Every bit of you is constructed by nutrition.

Perhaps one day your mother woke up and unbeknownst to her, her factory was scheduled to produce ears and hearing for you that day. Maybe the production line needed a lot of extra potassium that day in order to get the hearing just right, so you would have perfect pitch. The factory foreman sent resource demands to her brain and your mother spent the next few days stuffing herself to exhaustion with guacamole and corn chips, buttered potatoes and lima beans, and pint after pint of fresh picked blueberries, all good sources of potassium. By the end of the week, the factory had moved on to eyes, and you had the perfect pitch of Yo-Yo Ma.

This transfer of nutrition happens minute by minute while you are in the factory, in the womb. Let’s say that while you were gestating, your mother ate as a snack one afternoon, a 16 ounce broiled sirloin, french fries, sautéed winter vegetables, and three whole wheat rolls with butter. She shared with you through the umbilical cord, a large portion of the nutrition she consumed at that meal.

From the steak you received, in addition to the calories—a lot of protein to help grow bone and tissue, iron and cobalamin (B12) to facilitate the flow of oxygen and to help regulate how your cells were differentiated, zinc to assist in brain cell formation, and B6 to produce hemoglobin and grow your nervous system.

From the vegetables you received, in addition to calories, protein, and fiber—an enormous assortment of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, C, K, E, thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), folic acid (B9), potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium, among other trace elements.

Each vegetable has these nutrients in varying amounts—e.g., a cup of dried seaweed has 1527 mg of potassium, while a cup of raw spinach has 167 mg. A cup of pumpkin has 12,230 IU of Vitamin A , while a medium baked potato has 17 IU. A cup of parsnips has 1.56 mg of Vitamin E, while fennel and mushroom have none. It’s important to eat a variety of vegetables because they work together to make up for what they each lack.

From the whole wheat hard rolls you received, in addition to calories, protein, and fiber—carbohydrates, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, folic acid, magnesium, selenium, manganese, and important fats, plus other trace elements.

From the butter you received, fat and calories, which are also important in a growing fetus’s diet. You’ve heard the term “baby fat.” It is nature’s gift to a newborn, a nutritional reserve to live on in case there is crisis or famine when it is born.

And that’s just one meal. Think about all the nutrients Mom consumed while carrying you to term. All the raw materials by way of nutrition, that rolled into the factory and were used to make the body you’re parked in right now.

NUTRITION CAN MAKE ANY REPAIR

There is plenty of evidence to support agreement that the human body is constructed from nutrition. Once that is established, it’s not such a big leap to the conclusion that when that body gets sick, it makes sense to utilize the same elements to repair it that were used to create it in the first place.

Suppose you came outside one sunny morning, coffee cup in hand, and discovered that Roxanne had dug several holes in your lawn while looking for a lost bone. You love this lawn and repair it immediately with like material: seeds to grow new grass, or a patch of grass to cover the damage. You wouldn’t use cement, or carrots, or velvet, to repair the grass.

If your tire went flat you would repair it with a rubber patch because the tire is made of rubber. If you tore a hole in a denim shirt you would repair it with a cotton patch because the shirt is made of cotton. If an oil derrick arm broke down you would use steel to repair it because it is made from steel. If the sidewalk in front of your house cracked and needed repair, you would use cement because the sidewalk is made of cement. If the road in front of that sidewalk needed a repair, you would use asphalt because the road is made from asphalt. Et cetera.

I think you get the picture. Common sense tells us that when the human body breaks down, gets sick in any way, we should use nutrition to repair it because, say it with me now, “it is made from nutrition.”

BLOG 5: ALZHEIMER’S/DEMENTIA

Posted in 3: Blockage, Uncategorized, tagged , , , on February 6, 2011| 8 Comments »

YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOSE YOUR MIND

CATEGORY: 3: Blockage

https://lynncapehartwellness.com/2013/09/01/blog-30-essay-2-the-seven-categories-of-illness/

RECOMMENDED SUPPLEMENT: LECITHIN

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. As of 2010, over five million Americans had the disease, while over 35 million suffer from it worldwide. Dementia worsens over time, progressing from forgetting people and things, to difficult and stubborn behaviors, to psychotic and delusional states. Your doctor may not know what causes it, but I do.

There is also a shadow population in America of eleven million unpaid caregivers who are adversely effected by the disease, and who are generally emotionally drained and physically exhausted by the need to provide constant physical care to another adult. Alzheimer’s also negatively affects everyone around the person suffering from the disorder, not just the caregivers.

Alzheimer’s is not a pretty way to go, either. In fact, it’s plenty scary. By the time the end comes you’re completely useless. All that trouble and expense you went to educating yourself, honing your talent, creating and presenting a cool, savvy persona to the public? Gone. Maybe you were a hotshot before, but now, you’re someone completely dependent on others, a little drooly, who can’t remember what you had for breakfast, the name of your favorite grandchild, your shoe size, or even how to dress yourself. Everything you are is in your mind—for you, as well as others. Lose it and you lose your world, your self.

But, like everything that goes wrong with the body, short of outside inflicted injury, there is a simple explanation for Alzheimer’s that is directly connected to diet, and a serious nutrient deficiency. That’s all any disease is, you know, a titanic deficiency of one or more nutrients. Alzheimer’s is simply a blockage in your brain arteries created by a diet with too many starches and fats, and insufficient supplementation with Lecithin, an emulsifier.

If you give your body what it needs you can avoid or eliminate Alzheimer’s, meaning you can even bring people back, out of the fog. Up to a point. The sooner you change the person’s diet the better, because a time may come when too many brain cells and neurons have died for her to be fully regained to her prior self. But it’s a wide window of opportunity, and many people have been brought back to themselves with this therapy. You have nothing to lose by trying and a mind to save.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT

The year 2011 is the centennial celebration of Ronald Wilson Reagan’s birthday, February 6, 1911. I just read “Grace Under Fire” in TIME magazine, by Patti Davis, commemorating her father’s birthday today. She writes a poignant piece that could only be penned by a daughter who had been there for the glory and the demise. According to Davis, by the time he died of Alzheimer’s, Ronald Reagan did not remember being president of the United States. Number 40.

Think about that for a minute.

It takes a lot of hard work and endurance to get to be president. Campaigning to get to the White House, actually doing the job, getting reelected, shaping a legacy. But President Reagan didn’t remember any of it. Not the adoring crowds who showed up wherever he spoke, not spearheading Reaganomics, not winning 49 states in a landslide reelection, not fathering the Reagan Revolution, not helping end the Cold War, not saying, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” in 1987, and then watching it happen two years later.

That’s a lot to give up.

Anyone who knew Ronald Reagan even remotely knows that after being Nancy’s husband, and a father to his children, being President of his country was one of his proudest and most cherished memories. Yet Dementia stole all that. Midway through his Alzheimer’s years, Davis says her father didn’t even recognize her.

THERE ARE OTHERS

A lot of talented people succumb to Alzheimer’s. Besides President Reagan the following are a few taken by the disease.

George Balanchine: dancer, choreographer

Rita Hayworth: actress

Joyce Chen: chef

Harold Wilson: British Prime Minister

Charlton Heston: actor

Barry Goldwater: Arizona U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate

Aaron Copeland, composer

James Doohan: actor who played Scotty on Star Trek

E. B. White: author of the Stuart Little books for children

Sugar Ray Robinson: welterweight and middleweight boxing champ

Charles Bronson: actor

Perry Como: singer

Norman Rockwell: artist

Joe Adcock: baseball player

Vincent Minnelli: director and father of Liza

Raul Silva Henriquez: Roman Catholic cardinal & human rights advocate

Thomas A. Dorsey: father of gospel music

Burgess Meredith: actor

Alfred Van Vogt, science fiction writer

Bill Quackenbush: pro hockey hall of famer

Otto Preminger: director

Dana Andrews: actor

Kay Smith: composer

Edmond O’Brien: actor

Tom Fears: pro football hall of famer and coach

Louis Feraud: fashion designer

Jack Lord: actor from original Hawaii Five-O TV series

Rudolph Bing: opera impresario

Arlene Francis: actress

James Brooks: artist

Abe Burrows: author and commentator

And many others.

There exists the strong likelihood that none of these people would have died of Dementia if their diets had included Lecithin, an effective emulsifier.

LIKE MOST HEALTH PROBLEMS IT BEGINS WITH DIET

Forget genetic markers. I don’t care who your relatives are, Alzheimer’s is a disease directly attributable to what you eat. Dementia is twice as likely to develop in blacks as it is in whites, and 1.5 times more common among Hispanics, according to a new national report. These groups are getting higher numbers for Alzheimer’s simply because there are more of them eating diets high in fats and starches. One that causes “blockages.” Our bodies cannot properly process such a diet, without additional help from an emulsifier.

HOW DO BLOCKAGES FORM IN THE BODY?

When you eat something your body has trouble processing, like a double bacon cheeseburger with extra mayo, French fries, onion rings, and a deep fried Snickers bar, without also providing it with an emulsifier, it stores the left over gunk in all sorts of inner nooks and crannies. Just like you do in real life. But instead of a drawer, closet or garage, the body stores it in your arteries, your lungs, sinus, joints, liver, kidneys, heart, gallbladder, penis, spinal cord, colon, eyes, any old place it finds room, because it can’t get rid of it without an emulsifier. In the process it causes you to get sick with a blockage disorder.

Blockages are a whole category of diseases unto themselves in my paradigm of wellness. From the outside, it may look like Alzheimer’s, or heart disease, or a blocked sinus, or erectile dysfunction, or lung congestion, or peripheral artery disease, or glaucoma, or a blood clot, but it’s actually a blockage masquerading as a plethora of different problems. Your arterial pathways have to be kept clear or you will be at risk for many blockage diseases besides Alzheimer’s. But all of the blockage disorders, including Alzheimer’s, can be treated successfully with Lecithin.

The cells in your body depend on a constant flow of blood for oxygen and nourishment. Your brain is no different. But if the arteries—the pathways that carry that blood and oxygen—become blocked with plaque and solidified organic debris, less and less blood, and therefore nourishment, gets through. Without proper nourishment and enough oxygen from a steady blood supply, brain cells and neurons will eventually die in great numbers. As they die you lose your ability to remember, think, calculate and judge.

Think of an army using a road to get supplies to the front. Think of your brain cells as the troops at the front. If the road becomes blocked with disabled vehicles, it will be impossible for supply trucks to get through. Without sufficient supplies, the troops will starve and die. That makes it necessary to send in additional troops for the sole purpose of removing the blockage on the road. Once the blockage is gone, the trucks can roll and supplies can reach the troops at the front. Think of Lecithin as those additional troops sent in to remove the blockage, so that the supply lines to your brain cells can be kept open.

USING THE EMULSIFYING POWERS OF LECITHIN TO KEEP YOUR BRAIN ALIVE

Lecithin is a natural substance extracted from soybean oil. It is known to be safe, and has been used in our food supply since the early 1900’s. Take a look in your cabinets at the boxes, jars, cans, and bottles there. Lecithin is used as an ingredient in countless foods and cosmetics, because of its ability to emulsify, stabilize, thicken, and moisturize. It also has great suspension qualities.

Without Lecithin, when you opened a box of biscuit mix, it wouldn’t come out in a nice powdery stream, but would plop into your bowl in clumps. Without Lecithin, your facial moisturizer wouldn’t be creamy and smooth when you stick your finger in, but would show the oils coagulated and greasy. Without Lecithin, your mayonnaise would be a congealed mess, unspreadable. Likewise, your peanut butter. Lecithin is what keeps ingredients in suspension, as a mixture, and keeps the oils from separating from the other ingredients.

It’s Lecithin’s ability to keep organic particles in suspension that makes it such a valuable food supplement. It does the same thing in your body as it does in the food container: keeps organic particles suspended in your blood stream, not allowing them to clump together. Each Lecithin molecule binds with an organic molecule and prevents it from joining with other similar molecules, by holding it in suspension while it travels through your body and is expelled. Without sufficient Lecithin in your system, oils, fats, and other organic compounds can clump together, solidify, clog up vital areas, and cause “blockages.”

Lecithin prevents plaque and other organic debris from settling on the artery walls in your brain, slowing down the blood supply, and causing dementia.

NOTES

Remember, these are not pills you’re taking, but concentrated food supplements. This isn’t medicine. It’s nutrition.

Lecithin is the best natural emulsifier available, and will break up blockages in your brain or anywhere in your body. L-Glutamine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein. It is considered brain food and can have a remarkable effect on improving the brain’s ability to learn, think, reason, and remember. It also facilitates the transfer of communication between the two hemispheres of the brain. Ginkgo Biloba is an herb and a blood thinner, and assists in immediately getting more nutrients to the under served areas of your brain. Once the plaque is severe enough in your brain arteries to cause dementia, there will also be inflammation, which Beta Carotene will stop. Vitamin D3 will assist Beta Carotene in its processes, and it is a better, safer, more natural form of Vitamin D. But if you can only get Vitamin D you may use it instead.

When you use Lecithin regularly, in the beginning you will notice that you are coughing up and blowing out of your nose, a lot more mucus than usual. This is happening because Lecithin is breaking up blockages and causing mucous and other wastes to be expelled. This is a good sign and after a while, as more and more organic debris is cleaned out of your body, you will find less and less mucous needing to be expelled.

I have recommended Puritan’s Pride brand because their Lecithin is from soybeans only, and contains a minimum of 70 mg of phosphatides in each 1200 mg softgel, equivalent to 61 percent phosphatides. The value of a Lecithin product is determined by the percentage of phosphatides it contains, because they activate the fat emulsifying process in your body. You may use another brand but make sure it conforms to these specifications or it will not work.

Lecithin Granules are best used in blender drinks and sprinkled on salads, fresh cut fruit, and cereals. Make sure to consume it uncooked, in its natural state. One heaping tablespoon is equal to six softgels. You can’t take too much, so feel free to use additional amounts liberally.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Ginkgo Biloba is an effective natural blood thinner. If you are on a prescription blood thinner, like Coumadin, know that Ginkgo Biloba will duplicate your prescription medication.

If you take more Beta Carotene than your body can process you might get a mild, dull headache. It lasts as long as it takes your body to utilize the extra Beta Carotene, usually a couple hours. Some people get an itchy rash for a couple hours that can be relieved with Benadryl. There are no other side effects because Beta Carotene will not harm you. It will not turn your skin or the whites of your eyes orange, but in larger doses it will turn your feces that color.

Do not take mixed carotene products. They are a marketing gimmick, do not bestow any additional benefits to you, and will not work. Use only straight up Beta Carotene.

If you take Beta Carotene without also taking Vitamin D, you will deplete your stores of Vitamin D and develop a Vitamin D deficiency. It usually manifests as sores on the inside of the mouth. Be sure to take Vitamin D when you take Beta Carotene and there will be no problem.
