Keeping Our Families Healthy

All Winter Long

INCIDENCE OF

COLDS/RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS

Average U.S. adult has 2 to 4 colds/year

Average U.S. child has 6 to 10/year

Up to 12/year for school age kids

Average duration is 1 week (up to 3

weeks)

Caused by 200 different viruses

THE NATURAL APPROACH

Learn how to keep our

immune systems

healthy naturally

ONLY ONE DISEASE…

MALFUNCTIONING CELLS

Two Causes of Cells to Malfunction…

Exposure to toxins

Lack of nutrients

Together,

they weaken the immune system.

Never Be Sick Again Raymond Francis

WHAT WEAKENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Stress – Emotional

– Physical (including extreme exercise)

Exposure to toxins

Poor diet

Lack of rest

Aging

Sugar/Alcohol

SUGAR CONSUMPTION

1900 – 10 pounds (per capita/year)

1985 – 124 pounds/year

2000 – 160 pounds/year

DANGERS OF SUGAR

Immune Dysfunction

– “The anti-nutrient” depletes vitamins and minerals

essential for the immune system B vitamins, antioxidants, iron, and zinc

– Displaces natural nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables

such as water or milk (with soft drinks - high fructose corn syrup)

– Slows white blood cells

– Feeds Candida yeast (80% of immune system in

gut)

MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

Damaging Affects on the Brain

– Creates blood sugar swings

(resulting in fatigue, poor focus, poor

attention span, irritability, and mood swings)

– Depletes essential nutrients for the brain

(B vitamins, zinc)

MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

Sugar Feeds Candida Yeast

– Candida produces toxins

– Symptoms of Candida

Brain – anxiety, depression, headache, irritability,

mood swings, poor memory, poor mental focus,

dizziness

Digestive – diarrhea, bloating, gas, irritable bowel, bad

breath, heartburn, food allergies, constipation,

belching, abdominal pain, mucous in stools, and

cravings for sweets, bread and alcohol

MORE CANDIDA SYMPTOMS

Weakened Immune System – frequent infections

(especially ears, tonsils), sinus congestion, chronic cough,

pain or tightness in chest, environmental sensitivities (mold),

asthma-like symptoms

Reproductive – endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical

dysplasia, PMS premenstrual syndrome, infertility, loss of

libido, prostatitis, impotence, pelvic pain, vaginal discharge

and itching

Other – acne, skin disorders, white coated tongue,

athlete’s foot, canker sores, nail fungus, burning tongue,

spots in front of eyes, rash or blisters in mouth, fatigue, joint

pain, muscle weakness, blurred vision

MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

Aggravates Inflammation

– Sugar causes the body to be more acidic (along

with meat and dairy)

– Vegetables cause the body to be alkaline

– Inflammatory conditions include heart disease,

arthritis, all “itises”, cancer, eczema, asthma, etc

– The more insulin produced ...

… The more inflammation

MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

High insulin levels cause cancer cells to

grow. At least 4 or 5 types of cancer have

been linked to high insulin levels

(Steve Chaney PhD and cancer researcher)

Dental decay

Diabetes

Excessive weight gain

Osteoporosis (body pulls calcium from bones

to make blood more alkaline)

MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

Free Radical Damage

– Increased from high insulin

Damage to Digestive Tract

– Reduces production of digestive enzymes

– Leads to allergies and immune issues

WHITE FLOUR ... SUGAR’S COUSIN

Refined carbohydrates… including breads

and baked goods, chips, crackers, and

snacks … all cause high insulin levels and

blood sugar surges.

HOW TO STOP THE CRAVINGS

Obesity – not a will power issue.

Cravings are … a metabolic imbalance that causes blood sugar to plummet

– Cinch Plan or Energizing Soy Protein

– B Complex

– Glucose Regulation Complex

– Vita Lea

WHAT STRENGTHENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM?

Avoiding sugar and baked goods

Diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes,

whole grains, low fat protein

Water/Hydration

Exercise regularly

Reduce toxic exposure

Adequate rest … 8 hrs/day (10 hrs/day kids)
