TOXICITY, WEIGHT LOSS, and PRACTICE
SUCCESSPresented by:
AN EPIDEMIC
“Federal Task Force on Health recommends
doctors begin routine screening for weight loss as 1 in 2 Americans are
now obese”December 2, 2003
National Public Radio
“25% of all vegetables consumed in this
country are in the form of French fries”~ excerpted from
Food Fights by Mark Winston
FAKE TASTE, FAKE SMELL "Much of the taste and aroma of
American fast food is now manufactured at a series of large
chemical plants off the New Jersey Turnpike.”
~ Eric SchlosserFast Food Nation, 2001
SUGAR
160 pounds of added sugar per capita in 2001
The Problem?
• 65% of Americans are overweight!
• 50% of those overweight are obese!
• The fastest growing segment of the overweight population is children!• 15% of kids ages
6-9
WHY?• Americans
consume ~4000 Calories / day
• The Standard American Diet (SAD) contains:
• 50 gallons of soda
• 200 lbs of refined sugar
• 64 dozen donuts• 4 lbs of food
additives/preservatives
DIETARY TOXINS
Is your diet supporting cellular functions OR causing a toxic load
that must be eliminated?

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS
Congress, on both sides of the aisle, has allowed more than 80,000 chemicals to be legally used in a myriad of products – many have never been tested for safety in children or for long term exposure in adults.

DETOXIFICATION PATHWAYS
What is Detoxification?
Biotransformation:• The conversion of a toxin (xenobiotic) to a
water soluble metabolite• There are two sets of reactions responsible
for biotransformation:
1. Phase I 2. Phase II
PRIMARY CELLS OF DETOXIFIATION1. Kupffer cells
• Located mainly in the gut and deal with bacterial and toxins that are excreted into the bile
2. Kidney cells3. Liver cells
Phase I
• Oxidative reduction reactions• The enzymes responsible for phase I are
found in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
• The process converts toxins to a water soluble form for excretion via the kidneys or bile.• May result in free radical formation
Phase I free radical formation Bioactivation
BioActivation(aka toxication)
Toxication: the metabolite of a compound is more toxic than the parent.
Phase II
Conjugation of the metabolite into a water soluble, less toxic byproduct that can be eliminated.
• Recall several pathways:• Glutathione conjugation• Methylation• Glucouronidation• Sulfation• Acetylation• Amino Acid conjugation
Toxin Accumulation
Toxic residues accumulate in the cellular protoplasm of any cell that cannot excrete them due to:
• Inadequate transport mechanisms• Inability to detoxify them (OVERLOAD) • Powerful binding of toxin to cellular
structures
S.A.D and Detoxification Pathways
Affects the body’s ability to:
1.Remove toxins2.Balance the hormonal
system3.Eliminate properly
Hormonal Imbalance
Sugar ingestion (both as glucose and sucrose) drives up insulin release and causes other hormones to react:
• Pituitary Inhibition • Adrenal Medulla Inhibition• Increases:
1. Leptin & Gastrin 2. Insulin-like growth hormone
Hormonal changes will cause weight gain and cell growth.
• Source: Good Calories, Bad Calories. Taubes, Gary Alfred Knopf 2008
Elimination Problems
A diet high in fat and sugar and low in fiber will:
1. Slow transit time of food in the gut leading to constipation.
2. Lead to a congested liver and decreased liver function over time.• Reduced bile production and flow
3. Fecal accumulation• Produces additional toxins that are
absorbed by the body
Other Factors affecting Detoxification
1. Polypharmacy• Many people over the age of 55 are on multiple
medications which can overburden the natural detoxification system.
2. Too little high quality vegetables
• Affects overall toxin removal
HEALTH RELATED CHALLENGES
Symptoms of Body Toxicity
Weight gainFatigueConstipationSkin conditionsDark circles or puffiness under eyesPoor digestion
Poor sleepAllergiesJoint Pain (inc. fibromyalgia)Fluid retentionMental fog Recurring headaches
Health Conditions & Toxicity
• High Blood Pressure• High
Cholesterol/Arteriosclerosis• Heart Disease• Cancer• Type II Diabetes• Obesity
High Blood Pressure
• Increases the peripheral resistance against which the heart has to pump causing BP to go up
High Cholesterol /Arteriosclerosis
• Deposits of fat gather in the artery causing a loss of blood flow.
Heart Disease• Loss of heart
function due to clogged arteries and ingestion of “bad” fats.
• Fats enter the lymph system, bypassing the liver going directly to the heart.
Cancer
• Cellular growth unchecked and uncontrolled.
• The incidence of all cancers is increased when overweight.
Type II Diabetes
• United States Centers for Disease Control (a federal agency) reports childhood diabetes is the fastest growing disease in young people.
• Childhood diabetes was virtually unheard of 30 years ago.
Obesity
• Adipose tissue stores toxins.
• Body may resist weight loss if toxic load within adipose cells exceeds body’s capability.
Barriers to Fat Burning
• Beta oxidation metabolizes fat from adipose tissue• Stored toxins will be released along with
breakdown of adipose.• Without a way to process these toxins, the
body will resist beta oxidation to prevent auto-intoxication
• A biochemical process carried out by the liver in which fat is turned into energy.
• Water is essential for β oxidation to work.
Beta-Oxidation
Beta Oxidation
• Necessary for Weight Loss
• Support healthy and optimal β-oxidation: 1. Support Detoxification pathways2. Eliminate intake from sugars &
other toxins3. Reduce caloric intake in general
LIVER SUPPORT

Strategies
Importance of Detoxification
In a toxic world (environmental and food toxins),
it is critical to support endogenous detoxification mechanisms to avoid
cellular damage.
Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss
• The most commonly performed inpatient bariatric surgery is called the Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass. In this procedure, the stomach is made smaller, and a part of the small intestine is bypassed so that fewer calories and nutrients are absorbed.
"Bariatric surgeries result in weight loss, but they can result in complications and death.”
• Among the risks from this procedure are peritoneal infection, hernia and long-term nutritional deficiencies.
Top Benefit of Detoxification
VITALITY• The source of
vitality is energy. • Energy comes
from: 1. Motivation2. ATP 3. Endocrine function

until soft and use beet greens in salad.• Salad: include red, yellow, and green
peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, and spinach along with mixed greens.
Warning! Possible Side Effects
• Patients addicted to caffeine, alcohol, sugar and soft drinks have withdrawal symptoms during the first 2-3 days of the purification plan.
• Symptoms may include: • Headaches• Weakness• Muscular aches• Skin irritation• Awakening after a few hours of sleep
• Liver meridian is active between 1a.m. & 3a.m.
Contraindications & Cautions
1. Diabetics can use this program but they need to monitor their blood sugar regularly.
2. Individuals are advised to use the SP Cleanse at ½ or ⅓ the dose over the full 3 weeks instead of the higher dose during the first week if you have a history of: • Kidney stones• Kidney problems• Gall stones• Liver problems
Diet Soda?
• NO!
• Diet soft drinks 'may lead to over-eating' and contain artificial ingredients that impede the body’s detoxification pathways.
• Researchers say artificial sweeteners confuse the brain's ability to regulate body weight and could encourage people to over-eat. The findings, published in the International Journal of Obesity, come from Purdue University, Indiana, where rats given low calorie and high calorie sweet drinks had bigger appetites than those given just sugary drinks.
