YOUNG LIVING TRAINING TAPE #51
JUVACLEANSE YOUR LIVER for BETTER PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL & SPIRITUAL HEALTH
PART 2
D. Gary Young, N.D.
We welcome you to Training Tape #51 from the Life Training Seminar, "Part 2 of JuvaCleanse Your Liver," a highly informative lecture by Gary Young on the need to cleanse our liver and thereby affect our emotional, physical, and spiritual health. And now here is Gary Young to share this important information.
Dr. Gary Young - More on the Liver
Now we haven't finished on the liver, and we are going to push fast and furious today to see if we can get through the liver. If we succeed we will be able to start on the colon tomorrow..and if we are successful we will move on�it could be the biggest move of your life!
Medical Surveys in Longevity Cultures
You know, in all my travels and the old people that I interviewed throughout the various countries, it was most interesting because I had a series of questions that I would go through and ask all of them, as well as the questions that were asked by the physician that I hired to travel with me.
We would go through and ask the questions and the physicians in Azerbaijan and Ville Columba and Hunza would just carry a stethoscope and a blood pressure cuff with them and just did simple things like cardiac values and respiratory values and pulse and blood pressures, etc. So it was just the simple things that we could do, but they were things that are really significant and can change in elderly people very quickly..hearing, eyesight, etc. It was most amazing to see these people who at 130, 140 years old had no blood pressure problems. Their readings were 120 or 130/75, 125. That was pretty much the range for all of them. Resting pulse rates were in the 60's (the resting pulse rate for a very healthy middle-aged person).
In Azerbaijan and the Tallish Mountains there was only one out of a hundred people that I met who put glasses on to read the newspaper (at over 100 years of age). It was most amazing! I never found one person who had liver spots, there were no complaints of urinary problems or digestive problems such as constipation or diarrhea, the things that we see in America with young adults. Hormonal problems were more difficult to evaluate because not too many of them wanted to talk about their sex and activities.
Hormone-related Responses
There was only one person who really expressed his feelings about it, and he was 128 years old. He was frustrated because his sex activity had diminished..only four times a week! I didn't ask him what it was before he reached 128, but his wife turned very red-faced in that conversation. She didn't disagree, but I didn't ask what her feelings were. I asked him if he felt that an active sex life was important for longevity, and he said, "Absolutely! Why do you think I am concerned!" But it was an area where I was not able to get a lot of information.
What I did gain from my interviews with these people was that the women didn't go through menopause until in their 70's and 80's and (as those of you who were at the convention know) the one lady was 82 when she had her last child and the other one was 75 when she had her last child. Most of them were still bearing children in their mid to late 60's..so ladies, there is still hope for you and hope for our future!
Past Generations are Healthier
I can tell you this, that the children from two generations ago are much healthier than the children that are being born in our world today. There is some-thing significant about Sarah having a baby after 80. I feel it more and more all the time, especially as I ponder frequently about my experiences in the Tallish Mountains and Hunzaland and Inswan . The women there were also bearing children in their 60's�but not as common as in the Tallish Mountains.
They are more educated. It is interesting how much education interferes with that, or whatever it may be. What I see out of it (and it makes more sense to me now that Mary and I have had Jacob) is the importance of having more maturity with child bearing and child rearing. Certainly you learn from your mistakes or your inadequate choices. We are supposed to learn (and I certainly believe that I have) that it is still a challenge raising a child at my age.
A Frightening Experience..
I see in Jacob a little boy who is extremely secure. You will probably realize that when you see him unafraid of anyone and very secure in coming up and talking to you and being in your space. That has a double side to it, also, because he knows no fear and it concerns us if he goes off with a stranger, naturally.
I had a real fright in Jackson Hole this winter. We were there skiing and I was in the ski shop trying on a different pair of ski boots and he was standing right beside me hanging onto my pants as I was signing the papers. A lady who was wearing ski clothing walked in and she was talking to him. He was talking to her as freely as could be, and he let go of my pants..and the second that it took me to finish signing my name while he let go of my pants, I turned around and he was gone, and she was gone!
Needless to say, my heart went into my throat and I ran to the front door. She was not in sight anywhere. I ran up the sidewalk, I ran down the sidewalk..she was not in sight. I ran back in and said to the people, "Help me find my son.." They had all seen him standing there and they were shocked that he had gone that quickly.
Expect Only the Right Outcome
You can imagine what raced through my mind, seeing this woman standing there talking to him and then they both were gone at the same time, and Mary says that I don't experience fear! She had no idea. I had to grab hold of that and say, "No..I will only expect the right outcome, and I will accept nothing else." I breathed deep and went back outside. The other guy said, "We'll look in here, you go.." and I ran all the way up the into the restaurant, just scanned the whole area, and I saw the woman way up by one of the lifts. Everything appeared to be normal, and I thought, "No..this can't be."
I ran back down and into the store and the one gentleman who was helping me came from the other part of the store (the clothing part) with Jacob on his finger. He had just spun around the corner into the clothing part and was hiding amid the clothes. He was having a great time!
Control the Natural Responses
I share with that with you just for a simple analogy of how easy it is to allow the natural responses that we have to take control and dictate to us the worse-case scenario. When we go into a panic mode it is really important to stop and just breathe and take control of that. Take charge of that because if you do not, there are chemical things that happen in your body, in your mind, in your brain, and in your liver. Then it goes to the adrenals and it changes body chemistry very quickly. If you allow that to happen and you don't take control and pull it back, then that chemistry change that takes place alters the brain function to the point where it alters cell function.
It transcribes (because it literally alters the transcriptase enzyme that does the memory encoding and the memory of the DNA in the telemeres) and you can stop that. You can change it, but only when you recognize it. You breath deeply and blow it off and then set your mind for what it is that you will accept and nothing else.
Thus it is so important for us when we are moving forward to stop, be calm, be still, and not go into the panic mode that we are all programmed to do..and we do that because that's how we are taught. We need to spend more of our time backing ourselves out of that space. It is interesting how we can also do it for others who are not as close to us, but with those who are very close to us sometimes we are not able to because we allow emotions and pre-determined ideas to interfere with that information coming in.
Seek for Discernment
Folks, I hope you understand what I am saying because in the near future many of you are going to be challenged with your ability to the unsaid thing and to be able to have the discernment to cipher what it means in your future benefit and well being.
You may be getting ready to board an airplane with a lot of anxiousness because you are going to see your grandchildren or your mother who is in the hospital dying, or whatever. Your spirit guardians are there to watch over you. It's important for you to learn to listen and learn to feel because they will direct you (and please understand that I am not here to change your belief system) I am just here to share with you and expand it to you if that feels right�and we do always respond to negative thought, negative feeling, and negative conversation first before we think. If we can learn to just breathe and engage the brain while we are breathing, and clear that out..you will be amazed at what can come in and all the wonderful things that can happen.
What Do I Need to Learn?
I love those experiences. I truly love them because they are so empowering in what they can teach us if we sit back after the experiencing. But if we will really get into it all the way (which we do 99% of the time) it's okay. Don't ever beat up on yourself for going there because it is just okay. The more you go, the more you learn, and the more you can look at it. When you can sit back after it's over and then just analytically take it apart and say, "Okay, which piece really fit and what was it that I need to learn from this and gain from it, and how does it feel now knowing how ridiculous I was for behaving that way?..and we do. We wind up beating up on ourselves the most, don't we? The whole time we are doing this routine, guess what we are doing? We are overloading the liver and we are overloading the DNA and the telemeres and we are altering the transcriptase enzyme in the transcribing of incorrect information that replicates in our bodies, called "fear." And we build more and more of that. We respond from that.
Overcoming Fear
I don't have a fear of the dark; I don't have a fear of being jumped in an alley or things like that, but when it comes to Mary or Jacob, there is a different level, so we all have our different experiences in fear. But the bottom line is it all produces the same outcome in every person. When you go into that mode of sudden fear you are absolutely helpless in that moment, so it is a lot better if one can overcome that.
It is true with so many things that we experience in life, and all that you go through has such an impact on your well being and how your respond. One of the great values that you may experience if we choose to do the "fire walk" will be being in a moment of feeling intense fear and learning how to take control of that and how to use that energy to empower you and how to convert it rather than let it become a fear that feeds that which already exists, and stops you from doing the impossible.
Ours is the Greater Challenge
In this world today, we are not out there crossing the plains and dodging arrows and lifting wagons over rocks and dealing with malaria or whatever happens to be, but we are dealing with a complete other set of adventures. When I compare what we are faced with to what our ancestors were faced with, I would trade them in a heartbeat.
This I want you to know, realizing how powerful you are that you chose to come at this time. You do have the strength (because of knowing that) to endure all things. The ultimate accomplishment in this life is being able to be fulfilled, and being fulfilling to others has tremendous value. So as you focus on cleansing the mind and the cells of traumas and emotional memories of negative magnitude, if you cleanse yourselves and your bodies of the impurities physically, you will feel a sense and a new, empowering dimension in your life..and that will be the mind opening up to creativity and to a vast expansion of possibilities.
Cleansing Overcomes Fear
The more toxic we are the more fear we have. Did you know that? Because the two go together..toxicity creates fear and fear creates toxicity. So the less toxic you are, the less fear you will experience. How does that happen? When you are cleansed in the true sense of cleanse, then you are closer to the Father, and the closer you are to Him, the more He can work through you and in you, and the more security you will experience to where you won't feel the sense of fear. As He has said many times, "My spirit will not dwell in an unclean temple." So if we want the fulfillment of the Father as much as humanly possible in this earth plane, then cleansing and preparing for that is where you first start. If you want to have that clear communication, then cleansing is where you start.
Toxic Foods Defile Your Body
You can't be taking adulterants into your body�
foods that are an abomination. In Deuteronomy it talks very clearly in Chapter 7 about not partaking of foods that are an abomination to the body. You need to read that and be very clear about how that takes away the spirit of God. Coffee, tobacco, sugar, white flour, fried foods�any substance that alters the healthy process of the cell is an abomination to the Lord. So how can you ask Him to come and dwell with you and give you intuition and direction if you are defiling the temple doing so?
How can you be of service to someone else if you are doing it to yourself? You first have to, I feel, do as Christ did..and that is to teach by example. If you don't "walk your talk, then don't talk." It is very important. We have so much need in our world today to have people doing that..and Young Living is perhaps the only company in the world that is really promoting, teaching, and living that concept..and you are all part of that. You reflect that every day and every way wherever you go.
Gary's Morning Routine
Going back to product and continuing with the liver process..there is another one I haven't mentioned that is very powerful for the cleansing of the liver, and that is Sulfurzyme. MSM, which is in the Sulfurzyme, is a very powerful agent for the cleansing of the liver and the rebuilding of liver cells. I will just share a little of my routine with you that I have been doing for several months now:
In the morning when I get up I have my lemon and my water and then I have a 54-ounce bottle that I take to the gym with me. Sometimes I will put in Berry Juice, 4 to 6 ounces, because when you are working out it is very important to keep your glucose levels up so your body can utilize and take the protein in. It takes sugar (glucose) to pull protein into the cell. It takes 12 hours for protein to digest, assimilate, and go into the body..so if you have eaten protein for breakfast at 6:00 in the morning, then 6:00 a.m. the next morning is when that glucose is going to pull that protein in the cell.
If you have a pre-digested protein (like at night) then the body can pull that in with the protein from the morning before, depending on what you are doing. At 11:00 at night just before I go to bed I will have the Power Meal drink because that is a pre-digested vegetarian protein. Sometimes I will put a scoop of WheyFit with it (but about 2/3 of the time I don't) then my body can utilize the protein from the morning before. Having Berry Young Juice to help sustain that glucose level while you are doing your aerobics or your cardio or your strength training, pulls that protein into the cell very nicely and efficiently, so I will do that. Sometimes (and more often than not) I will put Coral Sea in my drink. Marvin got me started doing this a few weeks ago because my morning drink was two scoops of Power Meal and two scoops of WheyFit with � scoop of AminoTech, 2 TB of Coral Sea and 2 TB of Sulfur-zyme and 2 TB of ICP and 1 TB of Essential Omegas. That was my toddy in the morning, and I found that it was overloading my liver, so now I do my Coral Sea in the morning separate from my drink..and it is working very well.
What You May Not Know about Coral Sea
Let me share with you a little bit of the research on Coral Sea. Calcium is extremely important, as you all know, and it plays a major role. There are a lot of people who say, "Well, calcium cures this and this and this�and there are 200 things that calcium cures�that is not correct, but indirectly it can have an effect on many things in the body. Calcium is the nutrient of the decade, a substance with such diverse roles in the body that virtually no major organ or system escapes its influence. Low calcium intakes are links to osteo-porosis, high blood pressure, colon cancer, and kidney stones. Calcium of coral origin is better absorbed from the intestines than calcium carbonate or other origin.
Coral calcium, consisting of calcium and trace elements, activates NK cells and microphages and plays a support role in inhibiting the metastasis of cancer cells in the lungs. Dr. Martin Lipkin of the Cancer Research Laboratory reported that calcium supplements could inhibit colon cell proliferation of people susceptible to colon cancer and might also prevent cancer in such organs as breast, prostate, and pancreas.
The National Library of Medicine has 45 studies documenting the use of coral calcium as a bone graft substitute. Three dyterpin isolates from coral calcium have positive cardiac and vascular response in animal studies.
Why is Ours So Expensive?
Some coral calcium is not clean, but is baked at 900 degrees centigrade in activating natural nutrients and ground at 200 to 400 mesh. Many of you have asked "Why is ours so expensive?" `This is where it comes in. Your coral calcium is clean, not baked..and it is ground at 2,000 mesh for optimal absorption.
This applies to your Mineral Essence as well, and I want you to know this. There are several things that go on that are very important in the utilization of minerals..calcium being one of them. Mineral Essence, which is an ionic mineral taken from the sea of vege-tation of the Salt Lake sea waters, has a very small molecular structure. It conducts electricity in ionic exchange. Minerals (including calcium) that are mined from a rock base have a very large molecular structure and do not have an ionic exchange, and they are not in a chelated form. Ionic minerals are in a chelated form, meaning they have been wrapped with amino acids for conversion and assimilation. That is how minerals are utilized by the amino acid chain that bonds to that mineral. When you have minerals that are too large, (like the calcium ground to 200 to 400 mesh) those minerals will go to the cell and they are not able to absorb through the cell wall, so they will cluster outside the cell.
Long-term Usage and Overload
People will say, "When I took those minerals I felt energy and I felt better.." and you are going to have that argument. This is the reason that they felt better. Minerals are tremendous conductors and transmitters of energy, and when those minerals (even though they don't go in a cell, but go around the cell) they will increase the energy within that cell at the moment. Here is where the conflict comes�the longer you take a product (a mineral particularly) that does not assimilate and does not go through the cell wall, you get an accumulation.
Colloidal Silver is another one of these minerals that does this very thing. It will not go through the cell wall. It stays on the outside. When you get an accumulation factor to where you go into cell overload it blocks the NNA pump in the cell wall from discharging excess sodium out of the cell. How does it do that? It changes the electrical exchange inside the cell, and the NNA pump shuts down, so the sodium stays in the cell instead of discharging out of the cell.When that happens it alters the cell in two ways. (1) It alters the sodium/potassium ratio and (2) It alters its frequency because now it goes into a dextro-rotary rotation and the cells starts to mutate and break down. Depending on your age, your environment, your lifestyle, your dietary intake�all of those things�that determines whether it takes 30 days or 230 days before your cells start to respond in a negative way to a mineral that does not assimilate in the cell wall. So in the beginning, people will feel this "pick up" because of that electrical exchange into the cell. Then all of a sudden they say, "Gee, I don't feel like I am getting any benefit from it.." and they are not. It goes the other way..and it takes several months sometimes before that happens.
Maximum Absorption is Key to Health
So having a mineral that is in an ion form or chelated form (or in this case, both) ground to a finer mesh (2,000), and at 1,000 it goes into the cell wall, I wanted to make sure that we had maximum absorption so I had them take it to 2,000 mesh. The results have been phenomenal with it, naturally. It absorbs. It goes in. It increases the ion exchange. With the calcium going in the cell it increases the action of the NNA pump and discharges more excess sodium out of the cell, so you have a greater energy increase because now the cells have the potential of the potassium to increase the ATP (or the cell fuel) that gives us energy. That is very, very critical and the Coral Sea is a tremendous product.
Take Coral Sea on a Daily Basis
As I have been working with it more and more the last years I am seeing a product that everyone needs to be utilizing more than they have been in the past. It makes muscle tiredness and soreness diminish much quicker because it takes the lactic acid out. It improves heart cardiovascular functions substantially. It improves hair, teeth, and bones throughout the body, so no matter what you are doing I would recommend that everyone use the Coral Sea on a daily basis.
How much should you use? I do 2 TB a day. My body hasn't told me that is at the point where I have enough and I need to cut back yet. When it does, then I will. Do I have an idea when that will happen? No, I don't..it depends on the demands that you put on your body and the condition you are in at the time.
Personal Benefits
Personally, I have had a wonderful experience in another level of healing in my process since I have been using the Coral Sea and Sulfurzyme together. I do 2 TB of Sulfurzyme every morning without fail. For a long time I did it off and on�I didn't do it religiously, I didn't do it consistently�and last year when I really started studying more in-depth about liver and liver function and cleansing the liver and the emotions anchored in the liver, then I went to Sulfurzyme every single morning. It used to taste terrible; now it tastes good. I don't mind it at all.
Tastes Bad? You Need It!
That is another thing you will find. When your body has a deficiency, the things that will meet deficiency normally don't taste good in the beginning, so if you take Sulfurzyme or Coral Sea or Power Meal or something like that, and it tastes kind of yuck, it's because your body really needs it, and your body has gone out of balance.
I watch Jacob and it is such a testimony to what I am saying because here is a little boy who came into the world not knowing that Sulfurzyme tasted bad, here's a little boy who didn't know that Power Meal didn't taste like frosted flakes..and he thinks it all tastes good. Here is a little boy who is 29 months old and eats raw horse radish and sucking on a lemon is a delicacy to him because he doesn't know it doesn't taste good. He hasn't been programmed that it shouldn't taste good..or whatever. Here is a little boy who, when he tastes something that has sugar on it, spits it out.
Mary has been even more strict with him than I have because she will put one drop of Agave on his cereal in the morning and I will put 10! She says, "Honey, I don't want him to develop a taste for sweets.." and I say, "Well, how else is he going to find a girl?" because a man cannot live by oatmeal alone!
Sometimes I get to feeling guilty because Mary puts his bowl of oatmeal in front of him in the morning and literally squirts maybe � teaspoon of Agave on it and he chows it down, and I have to put at least a tablespoon on mine to get it down. Why? Because I altered my taste buds and I am out of balance. When it comes to oatmeal and quinoa I might be out of balance for a long time!
I don't know how many of you eat keenway and amaranth and oatmeal every morning for breakfast, but Jacob does..and we do almost every morning. He started to eat oatmeal when he was six weeks old and never had any sweetener on it at that age, so he doesn't need a sweetener on it. He will eat it without anything on it right out of the pan.
Jacob's Response to Sugar
A few weeks ago we were meeting with some people on a building that we were looking at. They took us into their conference room and they had some crackers and some snacks, etc. set out for us. They knew that we were "weird" so they got some Wheat Thins, but they also bought a box of Fig Newtons (commercial ones).
Well, we buy figs from the health food store that are made with wheat and raspberry and apple and all that sort of thing, and they are a little different..but they look the same to a little boy. He went over and took one and he took a bite out of it before I realized he had taken it out of the container. I thought, "Oh, my goodness..if Mary comes in and sees he has that fig newton.." (I was more afraid of her reaction than I was of what would happen to Jacob!) He just chewed on it two or three times and he came over. I was talking to the people and he tapped me on the leg and said, "Daddy..Daddy!" I said, "What, son?" And he pulled a horrible face. I put my hand down and the rest of the Fig Newton was laying on the chair.
Developing Taste Buds in a Child
So we feel tremendously blessed (through Mary's commitment and ours together) in doing what we felt was right for this little boy, that he has truly developed the taste buds that we desire for him to have. He loves tabasco sauce, he likes hot salsa. All the things that babies shouldn't like he absolutely enjoys. In our world today it would be called "strange, weird, or unusual," but I really believe the way Jacob is, is the way every child should be�growing up and knowing what the taste of real value is and disliking that which causes death. Only we as parents can make that difference.
Wisdom from the Past
I am going to share this with you about my Great Uncle because I feel it is very significant (and not because of any religious connection).
He wrote a book 150 years ago called The Discourses of Brigham Young, and in that book there is a chapter on nutrition and diet. It is so amazing to me to read that information that was written and published 150 years ago and how he talked about how parents at that time were altering the life expectancy of their children with the plum puddings and the sweet cakes and the salt porks they were feeding them.
Can you imagine a man 150 years ago telling the people to quit feeding the children this garbage? And look at what we have today! He says in that book if mothers would stop doing this to their children it would take five generations to return them back to longevity.
Here was a man who had a grade 3 education teaching the people about nutrition, and it pains me inside today to see the people totally ignore those teachings. For me, (not just because he is my uncle) but because of the words of wisdom that are absolute truth and fact. He talks in there about how Moses condemned pork, and in his opinion (and he agreed with Moses) it was an abomination to the temple of God to partake of pork because it is the dirtiest meat and contains the most diseases of any flesh on the land.
Learn from Great Men
I love read the writings from great men, regardless of what religious faith they practice. God put a lot of great men on this earth for all of us to learn from. We need not be so closed-minded that because they practice a certain faith we don't want to listen. Robert Schuller has been a great mentor to me over the years. I admire him and I respect him for the things that he has taught me. Yet, there are a lot of people who think he is a heretic. I associate with that, so I don't have a problem with it, but learn from all the great people you can learn from, regardless of what religion they may profess that may not agree with your philosophy.
High-protein Diets
As we look at these things and we come to an understanding of why our bodies are altered, let's talk a minute about high protein diets. You have been hearing me for the last couple of years talk about increasing your protein intake. I mentioned earlier today about the risk and the fine line and where you can cross over that line.
I practiced vegetarianism for 27 years. I was a very, very strict vegetarian for 15 of those 27 years..it served me extremely well. It saved my life. Ninety percent of the food that went into my mouth was raw and unprocessed, and I have to tell you that I also felt the best I have ever felt in my life during that time. However, there are factors to keep in mind. During that time I was also in my 20's and 30's, the prime of life for a normal hormone production and balance. Now that I am "over the hill" (and it is wonderful being over the hill!) I tell you folks, for those of you who haven't made it there yet, it's a grand feeling to be over the hill. I know that I am on a downhill slide, have the world by the tail, and going 100 miles an hour! It's a great feeling!
Being "Over the Hill" is Great!
So where you pass 35, that is not over the hill. What is over the hill today in our society? Some consider 40; some consider 50�it depends on how close you are to the hill! It's all in how you interpret it. I figure it's taken me 50 years to learn enough that the next 50 I might make a few less mistakes. And we do. We utilize our youth to make our old age miserable. Mary says, "Old age is youthful abuse.." It's both, but it doesn't have to be. We can learn from the mistakes of our youth to make our old age more enjoyable and more successful, and I can tell you this day at age 54 that I have more strength and more muscle size than I had when I was 20..and when I was 20 I felt that I could conquer the world. That is exciting to me because of what I have been through and of what I have yet to go through in my life, to know at my age I can still grow and develop and build and become that which I was told was impossible, and I am really happy with that.
It has been with a lot of work and it takes a lot of work. Nothing comes free, but through freedom many things come, and I say that because I believe very strongly that health is your key to freedom.
Health and High Protein Intake
Looking at that and at high protein..how does it all come to play? If you are eating a high protein diet because you are a carbohydrate addict you are going to have problems. Anytime you go out of balance you are going to have problems in life. Sooner or later it will catch up to you.
Understanding Protein
What is a high protein diet? What does it consist of? Look at the Atkins book..if you haven't read it, buy it, read it, get familiar with these things. Become educated so that you know and you can draw your own conclusions. The Atkins diet and the Pritikin diet are very high protein diets. Here is the thing that is important for you to understand. If you are physically active you can burn six times more protein than a sedentary person can. That is where it crosses the line. When you are 20 to 35 you don't need the heavy proteins to manufacture the hormones, but when your hormone levels start decreasing (and if you are a vege-tarian) you are going to have a problem because your body is not going to manufacture hormones adequately, with the exception of a vegetarian who understands food combining and knows how to get adequate protein out of food combining and eats every two hours. And if not, they are going to go into a hormonal dive that can be devastating.
What I see with a lot of vegetarians over 40 is ovarian cancer and prostate cancer. Why? Because of the rapid decline in hormones for maintaining that balance. So does that mean that everybody who is a vegetarian should start eating meat? It means that you need to learn your body, and if you choose to be a vege-tarian for various other reasons (maybe dietary or religious reasons�and for many people, it is), just be aware and be conscious that after 35 your hormone production starts going down.
Hormones are made from protein and if you are not getting adequate protein then your hormone production is going to start decreasing, and you can put yourself into a position of having hormone deficiency that will throw your whole body out of balance..even HGH which regulates immune function. It depends on protein brain utilization, so finding that correct balance is really crucial.
Body Building Experiences
In the athletic world (the body building world) we are told that if you are physically active you should consume one gram of protein for one pound of body weight. So if you are 150 pounds you should eat 150 grams of protein a day. Now, I want you to be clear about your intake of protein.
Consider your blood type. Are you an O, A, or B? For a few years as I ventured into this new world of body building, I listened to what was being said, because I didn't know different. I had never been here before, so I've got to know, I have got to experiment, I have got to experience..otherwise, how can I teach? So I went to the one gram of protein a day, and I was doing that with egg white and with ground chicken and with Power Meal and whey and yogurt.
Of course, everything that we do in our home is organic�we don't have anything in our home that is not organic. We grow a garden 12 months out of the year and we eat out of our garden 12 months out of the year. We have organic cottage cheese. These things are very important and they are good protein sources, so I was pushing my protein intake up to 200 grams a day while I was really working hard.
Last year in January when Rob and I competed in the NPC, that is where I was pushing it. Even though I wasn't 200 pounds I was pushing it to 200 to 250 grams of protein a day because I wanted to put on more size..I wanted to feed the muscle. I gained and after that competition was over I just plateaued and I stopped because I felt my body going into a toxic overload..and that was my learning curve.
I worked and worked, but I was not gaining..I just stayed there, so in November I thought, "Hey, this is not working. I am an A blood type; I don't need that much protein.." so I cut my protein down to 150-160 grams a day. Last week when I weighed in I weighed 196 pounds and I am at about 10% body fat right now, so I am carrying a little more extra fat than I will be for competition. I cut the protein intake down; I changed my workout program and in three months I increased my chest size 2" and my biceps 3/4".
Liver Overload can Result
Why did that change occur and what happened there? It's the body's ability to utilize the protein and if you go in again overloading the liver, then your body doesn't just say, "Okay, I'm not utilizing 50 grams of protein here.." the liver shuts down to utilization of that protein, so it compromises your entire outcome and you deal with that. Now what happens when you go into a protein overload? High protein diets can create colon toxicity and liver toxicity, especially diets rich in meat.
Be Cautious of Red Meat
I really advocate staying away from red meat, except sparingly. Your fishes, your chicken, your white meats you can consume a little bit more, but red meats are much harder to digest. They are much more taxing to the liver, so be cautious. What happens here is that the amino acids, tyrosine and tryptophane (which are converted particularly from red meats), are the mood-elevating amino acids that go to the brain..and they suppress serotonin levels and brain function and decrease the moods, so you can go into a sense of feeling depressed in a protein overload.
That is one of the ways of knowing you are going into a protein overload..when you starting feeling down. You are eating well, you are feeling well physically, but mentally you are just kind of down..so back off the protein and look at how you are utilizing protein.
A-Type Experimentation
For an A-type, eat protein in the morning. I have experimented with a lot of different ways in working my diet around to see what's most efficient for an A- type.
I find (as I mentioned) if I do Berry Young Juice with my water in the morning while I am working out, I have tremendous energy. It maintains the glucose levels, it pulls that protein from the morning before into the cells very efficiently. I am finding that with this program I do better by putting that protein and the Coral Sea in my drink in the morning, and putting six dropperfuls of Mineral Essence in that same drink. I am getting my whole shot of minerals and calcium right there in the morning during that workout. When you are working out and you are sweating and perspiring, and increasing your circulation, that's when your body is really pulling it in and you are getting that maximum absorption from it. You get so much more benefit.
After my workout I come up and I make my drink, which is two scoops of WheyFit, one to two scoops of Power Meal (depending on how I am feeling), and I was doing a scoop of AminoTech. I have stopped doing that now and instead I mix my drink for the day and I put my AminoTech in that drink, so I am spreading it out through the entire day. This way I am getting more sustained release with the amino acids and particularly the creatine throughout the day than just taking one big shot of it in the morning.
I am finding that, for me, I am getting much more utilization of it that way. So I do my Power Meal, my WheyFit, and my Sulfurzyme. I am not religious every morning with the Essential Omegas..I have a real struggle with that one. I have never liked orange flavoring. Jacob embarrasses me. He does a teaspoon every single morning, so I say, "Son, why don't you do Daddy's"..so Mommy and Jacob take enough for Daddy! But that's my drink in the morning, then I go handle my phone calls or whatever and shower and change, whatever my activities are. Generally, about two hours later I have my breakfast.
Breakfast Deluxe
For breakfast I do my eggs and I always do onions. Good organic onions are so important for that ascorbic acid. They are a good antioxidant and they are good for the circulatory system. I saute the onions lightly and then I saute the ground chicken a little bit, mix them together and then I pour my egg white over the top of the ground chicken and the onion, put a little seasoning on it..and that is my breakfast. Mary makes cereal every morning and I have a little of that to balance the carbs with the protein, and I do about eight ounces of mixed cereal, which is oatmeal, quinoa, amaranth and wheat. It has really been a delicious treat recently because we got our wheat and oats from the farm that we harvested this summer and we got it cleaned and we are grinding that and have that organic wheat with our cereal in the morning now.
You can really tell the difference with wholesome food like that. You can feel the energy from it. So I will do about eight ounces of that and I eat about six to ounces of ground chicken and egg white. I do about � cup of egg white with that and sometimes I will break an egg or two in with it so I have the yolk in there..but more egg white. It is wonderful to the taste. I will put a little ginger curry sauce on it to give it a little flavor. Curry and ginger is really good for the digestive system..so there are things that you can do.
Recipe Collection Underway
The other thing that I have been doing with Mary is the last few weeks I have been writing recipes for the first time in my life. I have never been a recipe writer and I have been asked hundreds of times to write a book.
I can't stand recipes because I never cook by one! Anyone who has ever eaten my waffles would know that�it's just a shake of this and a touch of that and a scoop of this and whatever. But I have sat down and gotten serious and during my flight trips I started writing recipes.
Liver Enhancing Recipes
I have focused on writing recipes for a liver diet because this is what I feel really strong about. I feel it is not about cleansing the liver only, but it's about feeding the liver everyday. I have been going through and taking all the foods that cleanse and support liver function and I have been writing recipes, and when we get home from Canton then Mary goes to work in trying out my recipes. She thinks and feels they are going to be good. They are very interesting, but they are a lot of wonderful foods for nurturing and feeding the liver. Of course, your greens..your broccoli, your Brussel sprouts, your cabbage, your cauliflower are foods to feed the liver. Radishes are very supporting to the liver. Red beets are one of the best liver foods that exist. You put red beets and radishes together with cucumber and you have a fabulous dish. You can do that as a cold vegetable or for a salad type over romaine lettuce with bean sprouts, and you have got one of the most beautiful liver supporting foods that you could eat.
So this is the direction I am going in now..creating a program where we will cleanse and feed the liver foods that will support the liver and keep it going forward. Those are the things that are really important.
Some Causes for Depression
People with colon dysfunction and bowel disorders suffer from varying levels of depression. Spastic colons, colitis, Chron's disease, chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea. These compromising problems create a nutrition deficiency and poor assimilation of your B vitamins. B-6 and B-12 particularly are converted and assimilated through the transverse colon to the pancreas to support insulin production. The moment that compromises and the insulin production is compromised you are into a hypo-glycemic dive and from there it goes on into depression. Poor sleep patterns, increased cortisol levels. How many of you have poor sleep patterns?
When that happens cortisol levels go up and stress levels go up. It's kind of like which came first, the chicken or the egg. Did the sleep patterns come first that caused the cortisol levels to go up, or did the cortisol levels come up to cause the sleep deprivation? Only you would know, based on your past history, but it is very crucial to identify that. Those of us who are over 35 need to really be conscious of our stress levels.
Dangers of Sustained Stress
Let me just take a moment there. I don't want to mislead you, thinking that stress causes cortisol. It's not stress that causes cortisol..it is sustained stress. We all have stress. It's a part of our lives, a natural part of our environment..and we are supposed to have it. Stress can be your greatest friend,in my opinion, if you are controlling it because stress can move you to take action, and when you use stress to move you to take action, then stress becomes your friend. So utilize it to be a best friend. If stress killed people I would have been dead a long time ago!
Here is another thing. How many of you experience muscle aches and pains from an unknown origin? Quite a few of you. Keep this in mind: Increased cortisol levels increase muscle and joint pain, so another reason to pay attention to that and keep that down. This is where we go to Coristop. How many are using Cortistop? Quite a few of you. This is a profound product and is most effective.
About Cortistop
We did the research on Cortistop at the Clinic last year and in the nine subjects that were tested on Cortistop it was effective nine out of nine in decreasing cortisol levels. So it was really profound. I am going to share this with you and I don't know if anyone else had this experience. Can you overdose on Cortistop? Yes, you can overdose on anything. How will you know if you have overdosed on Cortistop? Reoccurring headaches. So if you are taking something like two Cortistop morning and two Cortistop at night and you have been doing this for a while and all of a sudden you start noticing you get a headache an hour after you take it�it's not real sharp, it's kind of a dull headache in the front�then you have overloaded your liver on Cortistop..so back off. That can happen.
I don't recommend anyone take Cortistop seven days a week consistently. Work with your body. Your cortisol levels peak about 6:00 in the morning. It's good if you take Cortistop in the night so it's in the body to help counter the excessive cortisol levels that happen in the morning and bring it back down if it goes into a sustained level.
Cortistop and Weight Loss
If you are under tremendous stress, then Cortistop is going to be really important for you. There are a lot of women reporting remarkable weight reduction to the office after using Cortistop. Has anyone here had that experience? This has been really remarkable. Why? Because Cortistop reduces cortisol. Excessive cortisol increases weight gain. We call it the fat-storing enzyme. That has really been very successful in some women, so that is something to look at.
When I know that I am in a stress situation then I will take Cortistop, one in the morning and one in the evening..and I will do it until the stress level modulates and then I will drop off to one, and then I will take it maybe every other day, or I will run it for two or three weeks and then I stop for a couple of weeks. I don't stay on it consistently. I keep thinking of my liver and not going into overload, so watch that. Pay attention! It's most important to understand that we can overload that liver very easily.
Stress Promotes Constipation
When a child endures long periods of stress the brain function can become altered, causing future behavioral and mood problems. When this happens with a child (and I think most of you here who are parents have noticed that when a child is under stress they are constipated), it is just automatic. When a child is stressed their experience is constipation. Those two things alter the brain chemistry in that child and behavior problems are the end result.
Also, I find it really frustrating to me when I have mothers come to me with their children. We had a situation here when a friend of Mary's brought her daughter and granddaughter to our house. She was two years old and she was covered from her hair to her toes in a horrible, horrible ulcerous psoriasis condition. They had her on cortisone creams and prednisone creams and she was on a prescription drug and she was giving it to her out of a bottle. It was so bad that some of the sores were just oozing. The first thing I said to the mother was, "How many bowel movements a day does this child have?" And she said, "Once every 7 to 10 days.." and I said, "This is insanity!" She said, "Well, I was just to the pediatrician and he said, "If the baby has a bowel movement every 7 to 10 days that is sufficient."
This was a pediatrician! I was so mad and I said her.."You go back to your pediatrician and tell him not to crap for 10 days and see how he feels!" The normal function for a child is every two hours, or certainly within 30 minutes, or every time you take in food there should be some discharge. That is normal bowel function. We hold it, and then we wonder why our children are on Ridalin because we have these altered mood functions.
I told the mother this and I put the child on a program and the child loaded its diaper three and four times a day every day for weeks, then it finally started going into a natural bowel movement three and four times a day. After about six weeks the rash, the oozing sores..everything totally cleared and the child has beautiful skin today. And the mother hasn't been back to the doctor! Life is simple. We make it complicated.
More Constipation Side-effects
Along with constipation (and this is something that is very common with women, and particularly during pregnancy) 37% of women suffering depression had significant physical and sexual abuse by age 21, and in every single case where I have dealt with a woman who has had depression related to physical or sexual abuse, she had a history of constipation..no exceptions.
These are things to look at and we are told during pregnancy it's okay if you don't eliminate every day. During pregnancy you should go more because you are generally taking in more. You have more responsibility to filter the waste from the baby that is going back out through the blood as well, and all that is going back to the liver.
That's why women who have given birth have a greater liver overload than men do, because once a woman has had five or six children the toxins from those babies for nine months in that baby's body is going back to the mother's liver for filtering. The placenta filters a certain amount of that, but not totally.
Hyperactivity and Cleansing
If you're not cleansing and you are not living a cleansing lifestyle during your pregnancy, then that baby's liver is going to become toxic and that baby is going to be born with allergies, that baby is going to be born with mood behavior function problems. That baby is going to be born hyper.
It is really interesting to see people look at Jacob, and I have had people come up to me and say, "Boy, he's a hyper one, isn't he!" And I said, "No, he's not hyper..he's healthy!" Don't mislabel health and energy for hyperactivity. There is a big difference, and that is something that is amazing to me. People today in America do not understand what a healthy child should look like and how a healthy child should act.
Depression is not just an emotional byproduct of past trauma. This is another misconception that I see with so many people out there. I see it with psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors all the time who are labeling it "past trauma." Depression starts in the colon and in the liver.
Colon/Liver Cleansing
How long should we do a colon and liver cleanse and how do we know when our liver and colon is clean? I feel at this time to say this: As long as we are alive in today's environment we will never experience a clean colon and liver. That may be a bold statement, but that's where I stand.
I feel that Mary and I are probably as faithful and as committed and diligent about cleansing as anyone out there that you will meet or know..and we don't quit cleaning a single day. We vary it from fast to cleansing, to fast to cleansing, to maintaining, to fast to cleansing..but even in our maintaining we don't put stuff in our bodies that pollute our bodies. So we are not adding to that in a sense of what we are eating and drinking through we are still subject to all the things out there environmentally that everyone else is..and our bodies take it in and it goes right to the liver.
To help you to visualize this a little bit, just know that three pints of blood pass through your liver every 60 seconds. Knowing that your blood is what is carrying all of this debris and waste�where does it go? It goes into the liver and it deposits it and picks it back up and it carries on. If your liver is overloaded it blocks it right there, and all your blood is doing is just bringing it in and carrying it right back out repeatedly..three pints of blood every 60 seconds. So that will give you a little bit more of an indication of why I am belaboring this issue about cleansing the liver.
Clean Liver Promotes Ideal Weight
If you want to be at your ideal weight, you focus on the liver..and you will be there. All the fad diets, all the stuff..yes, people have lost lots of weight on these fad diets and you see their pictures in the magazines in the before and after. But do you know what is interesting? You never see the picture of that same person five years later. You never see the picture of that same person one year after that fad diet took off 60 pounds. Why? Have you ever asked yourself?
Weight Loss Competitions
I did a little survey on that. A lot of you are familiar with the challenge.."Enter this competition and get into shape. Win $100,000, go to Acapulco or whatever." I started looking into it three years ago and I did the challenge. I placed in the top 6% of 77,000 people who entered that contest at that time. That's what got me doing what I am doing today. I wanted to learn; I wanted to experience. I wanted to see what worked and what didn't work.
Because of that and because of associating with a lot of those folks, I have stayed in touch with several of them over the years. It's been fascinating that of the ones I stayed in touch with and talked to, there is not a single one of them at the same weight. They have all gone back to where they were. Why? Because of incorrect principles.
Mary says that the reason I didn't win the contest was because I didn't use their products and if anyone participated in that program, it was one of the require-ments that you had to use their products. So in order to qualify I went down the health food store and bought their products. After the competition was over I took their products all back! There was a program that depleted the body of nutrients and a lot of people lost a lot of weight and made a lot of significant changes (and I am not saying that everybody went back to where they were), but the ones that I talked to and communicated with to this day have gone backwards because nothing was ever stressed about diet, and nothing was ever stressed about cleansing.
When you look at their products with preservatives and artificial sweeteners and Aspartame and artificial colorings, you could tell it was unreal. All of those things block and overload the liver. When you bring your body into balance by cleansing and building the liver, then you accomplish the very desires of your heart and that is arriving at perfect balance.
Artificial Liver Experiments
Let me share with you something that will be very exciting to you. In 1996 there was a group of Anglo-saxons and Germans who got together in Burmingham, UK and started working on an artificial liver. They actually started before 1996 and by 1996 they had perfected building an artificial liver. An adult liver weighs between 2.8 and 3.5 pounds..this artificial liver they built was 5 ounces. The only thing that the artificial liver would not do was product bile..and so that was a problem, but they kept working with it. By 1999 they had perfected the liver to the point where it would produce bile and by the year 2000 they did their first liver transplant with the artificial liver.
One year later after the transplant they were able to go in and remove it, and here is what happened. It was most interesting: In this study (and some of this research is coming out now) they take 3 ounces of human liver cells and they culture it in the laboratory. They designed this titanium ring that they put inside this liver culture, and this titanium ring has a device inside to direct the secretions and biles and enzymes and flow and filtering of the blood. It is so effective now that as of last year they are taking patients who are in line for liver transplants and disconnecting the liver, implanting this artificial liver and hooking it up, and in three to six months the liver that was totally degenerated (that was going to be taken out of the body) has completely regrown to a perfectly healthy, normal liver! So they take the artificial liver out, reconnect the natural liver, and the patient is off to the races with a healthy liver.
Regular Fasting is Imperative to Liver Health
Folks, that is so profound and so significant, and when I learned this and got the research last year I just screamed.."Yes!" That was why the ancient people (the old people today) live and have the longevity they have because every single culture that I have studied, every-one of these people fast every year for 30 days. What are they doing? They unburden the liver and allow the liver to regenerate.
This is what came out of the study. The human liver has the ability to totally rejuvenate itself in 90 days to a normal, healthy liver. All we ha
