6. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition
and Human Needs
• “….During this century, the composition of an
average diet has changed radically. Complex
carb, fruits, veg and grain which were the
mainstay now play a minority role. At the
same time, fat and sugar composition have
risen to the point where these dietary
elements alone now comprise 60% of the total
caloric intake…..”

49. Brain/GUT Relationship?
Always have to include the mind with the diet change
When the brain is unhappy, the GUT is unhappy
50. Control the Brain before the GUT
• The Limbic System controls
gut and emotionality
• Neuroplasticity concept
• Prefrontal cortex seat of judgement and
planning- sight of highest order cognitive activity
• Increasing connection (white matter) L prefrontal
to amygdala yields more resiliency to adversity
51. The bottom line with Grounding
• Average American is very good with the
stress response
• Average American is lacking the
relaxation response
Both take practice
56. Caveat with diet and exercise
• Watch the increase in exercise/decrease in cal
• Performance will suffer so can be dangerous
• Consider low and slow during the fast
...what in morning was truth,
in evening will become a lie.
-Carl Jung
57. Bottom line with Movement
• Change the concept of movement
• Imbibe “brain stillness” into the endeavor
• Warm up can be the “pause”.
• Vigorous exercise is good…
….balanced exercise is better!

Hinweis der Redaktion
Basic existence boils down to 3 things E S PIf these 3 are intact, survival, love, reproducing, community will flourishAs is demonstrated in my medical clinic and emergency rooms, hospitals and pharmacies around the world…..the above 3 characteristics of a happy life are all screwed up. Just look at the symbol for eat…..a hamburger(processed food) and a beverage (plastic container)Sorry, just being critical but this will justify the concept of detoxing.
US sentate select committee on nutrition and human needs = the McGovern CommitteeTitled Dietary Goals for the United States, but also known as the "McGovern Report",[10] they suggested that Americans eat less fat, less cholesterol, less refined and processed sugars, and more complex carbohydrates and fiber.[11] (Indeed, it was the McGovern report that first used the term complex carbohydrate, denoting "fruit, vegetables and whole-grains".[12]) The recommended way of accomplishing this was to eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and less high-fat meat, egg, and dairy products.[2][11] While many public health officials had said all of this for some time, the committee's issuance of the guidelines gave it higher public profile.[11]The committee's "eat less" recommendations triggered strong negative reactions from the cattle, dairy, egg, and sugar industries, including from McGovern's home state.[2] The American Medical Association protested as well, reflecting its long-espoused belief that people should see their doctor for individual advice rather than follow guidance for the public as a whole.[11] Some scientists also thought the committee's conclusions needed further expert review.[2] Others felt that the job of promulgating recommendations belonged to the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council.[9] Under heavy pressure, the committee held further hearings, and issued a revised set of guidelines in late 1977 which adjusted some of the advice regarding salt and cholesterol and watered down the wording regarding meat consumption.[2]
In sanskrit , shat means six, karma means actionShatkarma translates to the 6 purification practices
There is also vatsaradhauti (cleansing the intestines with air)Vamandhauti (regurgitative cleansing)Vastradhauti (cloth cleansing)
Tadasana works on the stomach and stretches the colonTiryakatadasana acts on the small intestine and colonKatichakrasana massages the small intestineTiryakabhujangasana and udarakarshanasana squeeze and massage the caecum, sigmoid colon and rectum and also stimulate the urge to defecate
Practiced when completely empty, 5-6 hours after meals. (before breakfast ideal)Helps to rotate, aggitate entire abdomen in efforts to generate heat, stimulate appetite, assimilation, absorption, secreation, excreation.

Detoxing nowadays is more to the point of moving bowels restricting intake and losing weight
To the non medical side To the medical sideHerbalists MDNaturopathes DOYogi’s ChiroNutritionistsRD’s (some)ChiroTrainersSome diets are dangerous!!!1kidney stones, muscular wasting/digestion, dehydration, ketoacidosis
Triglycerides are the chemical forms in which fat moves through the bloodstream. They are mostly derived directly from fats in your diet, but some are also made in the body from carbohydrates. When the calories you consume are not used immediately, they are converted to triglycerides, transported through the bloodstream, and stored in fat cells. Hormones then regulate their release to meet energy needs. Whenever your LDL ("bad") cholesterol is measured, triglycerides are also checked. Levels lower than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) are considered normal, and levels above 200 mg/dL are considered too high…..bottom line is this takes a lot of energy to accomplish 3 times a day +
Virus cancer bacteria parasite heavy metal….Holiday is when the gut doesn’t have to work….like in a detox diet!!!
Going below BMR will cause deficit in caloric function ok for young and healthy?Get a physical to look for disease ...bipolar ds, thyroid, diabetes, kidney disorder, gout/arthritis cause choking down on calories and inducing starvation environment can unleash hell
On the flip side….our food industry is also profiting at the GUT expense by making tasty food that is bad for you. Sure they can be responsible for the way people eat but no one is telling the buyers you have to be in charge……FDA regulation of twinkies!!!!Thus you will have to self-educate and you may need to enlist help
Don’t forget water I like reverse osmosis, theres also gravity flow microfiltration units and water distilling systems for contaminants….watch BPA in bottled water Bisphenol A
What western medicine is good at…..science based health.What its poor at…practical application to the individual and teaching self care
The best studies of longevity all point to a mostly plant based diet with fish/chicken Mediterranean, Japanese….ornish, HCG, South beach, modified, atkins, are non sustainable in my opinion, if you are going to try something, research the hell out of it and or get some help to weight the odds of success in your favor
One of the basic things grounding can help is sleepWith the stress of lifestyle change comes erratic sleep…or maybe it was there already?This is what happens with stress (visible or invisisble)
The brain/mind can control the function of the gutParasympathetic system (Gandhi) increases digestive juice, motility and relaxing sphincterSympathetic system (Godzilla) the opposite So if just nutrition is changed, there may be a temporary response but the gut/brain interface will push the previous chaos back into life
Amygdala snaps to attention involved in negative emotion and stress1Left prefrontal inhibits?(as per Richie Davidson)Another way to calm the amygala (reduce activation in the amygdala) – 2increase oxytocin!Or laying the groundwork for a socially intuitive brain….3love and compassion can also increase oxytocin (supposedly)
Yoga is not just flexibility…in fact, my classes are more for breathwork and meditation than the poses. One can just stay in easy pose like Julia and listen to my voice for 60 minutes and get close to the same benefit as others in the class
The knowledge of our youth aintgonna work now (didn’t work then either!) Enlist help
Change during the fast as decreased calories can translate to decreased attention and injuryTry a non vigourous movement like basic pilates yoga, tai chi forest bathingI like the idea of sweating during the fast but very careful not to push an already taxed body with low calories….could be pass out time. Consider a low intensity exercise like above for the fast then afterward 7-10 days….reintroduce a new exercise paradigm (sustainable!)
Mucosagen –l glutamine, milk thistle, NAC, L glucosamineChlorella….caprilic acid, pau d arco
Used in the 50’s and 60’s for death cap mushroom poisoning, studies up to 16-22 weeks but have to suggest 10days
