Chemical Toxicity
An Alternative Practitioners Perspective
Chiropractic Philosophy 101
• Nervous system is the primary controlling system for your Whole body
• Nervous Irritation can be Physical, Chemical or Mental/Emotional
• Address the cause NOT the effect
Chiropractic Philosophy 101
• Dis-ease or Dis-Stress is the cause of all issues…
• Whether the stress is Physical, Chemical or Mental Emotional is beneficial to know in order to be able to tailor a program that is suitable to that individual.
People Have a High Degree of Body Inflammation
• Due to:– Stress.– Ingested toxins.– A diet high in chemicals,
trans fats, food additives and preservatives.
– Lack of exercise.– Lack of restful sleep.– Insufficient vitamins and
minerals.
High inflammation releases your fat-storing, muscle-burning and bone thinning hormone
called “Cortisol”
Inflammation High - Bad
Low levels of inflammation release your fat-burning, muscle-building and bone
strengthening growth hormone aka HGH
Inflammation Low - Good
What is a Toxin?
At the simplest level, a toxin is something capable of causing disease or damaging tissue when it enters
the body..
1. Cereal Grains (Esp. refined flour)2. Omega-6 industrial seed oils 3. Sugar (Esp. HFCS)4. Soy
Found in Average People 167 Toxins
PCBs, Lead, Mercury, Pesticides, Fungicides,
Transfats, Trihalomethanes, Benzenes, Arsenic
Aldehydes, Organophosphates, and …more
Study from Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Trans Fats Make You Fat
Harvard Medical School found that women who ate trans fat would be up to 5 kilo’s heavier than eating no trans fat at all.
But I “eat healthy”…
If you do not eat organic you will end up with 4 litres of pesticides
per year
According to the 2013 Shopper's Guide, the top 10 most contaminated conventionally grow fruits and vegetables are:
1. Strawberries2. Apples3. Celery4. Cherry Tomatoes5. Cucumbers6. Grapes7. Chilli’s8. Peaches9. Potatoes10.Spinach

Cleanse
Solution: Removal of Toxins
• To enjoy GOOD HEALTH you must have a strategy for CLEANSING the body.
• Protects from environmental toxins and oxidative stress
Solution: Removal of Toxins
• Supports mental & physical performance while boosting energy & endurance
• Supports immune & digestive systems while encouraging safe and effective weight loss.
Criteria for Cleansing• Any program you recommend or
investigate should be a “Whole Body” cleanse not one particular organ system.
• It should be Natural and nourish at the same time as cleansing. (No Laxative or Diuretic based).
• It should boost Physical & Mental energy and endurance.
• It should contain nutrients that help support the body’s vital function and immune system.
Eleuthero (e-lou-thro)
• Adaptogen• Adrenal Support• Anti-Oxidant• Supports Immune
Health
Yellow Dock
• Supports the liver.• Supports the
kidneys.• Has been shown to
aid in the removal of impurities from the liver and the blood.
Aloe Vera
• Powerfully soothing.• Supports digestion.• Gentle remover of
impurities.• Has been shown to
powerfully support an anti-inflammatory response.
So apart from Chemical stressors…
Effects of Mental and Physical Stress
• Chronic psychological stress may actually take years off your life, acting on a cellular level.
• Can cause headaches, fatigue, sleep problems, anxiety, irritability, weight gains and many more symptoms
The type and duration of stress has changed
From This To This
Adaptogens Reduce Stress Response
Adaptogens decrease fatigue and exhaustion phases in
response to stress!
Adapted from Pannosian and Wikman, 2010
3 Phases
1. Cleanse2. Fortify3. Slow Down the
Clock
Fortify
• Control weight and maintain lean muscle mass.• Reduce or manage caloric intake without depriving
your body of essential nutrients.
What I look for in a management program…• High quality undenatured whey and casien protein
from grass fed cows.• Clinical studies that support both healthy weight loss
and weight management.
According to a 2004 review on protein published in the "Journal of Sports Science and Medicine".
Whey can boost the immune system by 300%
Eat Protein to Lose Weight A recent 2011 study showed taking whey protein
in the morning maximized fat burning over 24 hour period.

the Clock
Deficiency of Vitamins and Nutrients
• In 2009 less than 25% of US adults consumed five or more fruit or vegetable servings per day
• Recent evidence suggests that young adults maybe deficient in B12 in much higher percentages than previously thought.
• Most Americans only receive suboptimal levels of vitamins and minerals needed to protect long term health
Morphological Changes• Loss of senses and memory• Wrinkling skin and age spots• Graying hair and baldness• Loss of muscle mass & strength• Less energy & stamina• Lack of mobility & flexibility• Insomnia• Stiffness and painful joints• Weakening and loss of bone• Poor eye sights• Slower healing
Morphological Changes
When you decide you are old you are old
Aging happens from the inside out.
The body we have now was started 10 years ago.
Age-Related Degenerative Conditions
• Cardiovascular disease• Type 2 Diabetes• Hypertension• Arthritis• Osteoporosis• Dementia, Alzheimer’s• Immune Deficiency• Various Cancers• Deaths
Cause of Aging• Genetics
– Programmed into genes
• Free Radicals and Superoxide's– Cumulative oxidative
damage– Metabolic side effects
• Poor Diet and Nutrition
• Lack of Exercise
• Diseases
Vitamin D
• One of most researched vitamin/hormone in last decade
• Synthesized in our skin upon exposure to sunlight
• Current RDA = 400 IU• Overwhelming studies strongly suggest 400 IU is not enough (IOM committee)
• We have low levels because of declined synthesis, pharmaceuticals, pollution and staying indoors
• Vitamin D deficient society
39
Studies on Vitamin D
• Calcium absorption for bone health
• Muscle strength
• Healthy heart function and healthy blood pressure*
• Critical for regulation of immune function*
• Many age-related conditions associated with lower levels of Vitamin D*
*Reference: Holick 2010 NEJM
Resveratrol
• Wonder compound found in nature that helps maintain youthfulness– Small amounts in red wine– Highest amount in Polygonum cuspidatum (not grape vine or leaves)
• Helped to protect middle-age animals against high-calorie diet*
– They didn’t gain as much weight– They had better lipid profiles– They had extended lifespan
*Ref: Baur et al. 2006 Nature
• Studies show resveratrol helps maintain cardiovascular health
• Combined with clinically-tested grape seed and grape skin extracts to mimic wine without alcohol for greater cardiovascular health
• Greater benefit with turmeric
Resveratrol
Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10)
• Fat-soluble antioxidant in every cell.
• It serves as a coenzyme for several key enzymatic processes.– Production of Cellular Energy– Removes superoxides and inhibits free radicals from destruction of cell membranes– Reduces LDL oxidation and Nucleotides
• Pharmaceuticals and aging declines
• Proper dose with maximum absorption
• Collaborated with the expert.
Objective Benchmarks
• What can you utilise objectively and non invasively to measure the changes being created?
• Tanita scales• Bioscans/Vega Testing• Live Blood Analysis/Hemaview• Measurements• Before and after photo’s• Bone density scan• Blood work
Examples of Changes:
Examples of Changes:
In summary…• Over half of Australia’s adult population is either overweight or
obese.• 6 million Australians engage the services of a weight loss industry
expert each year• 80% fail to follow through and • 95% regained their weight within 12 months.• Currently 17 million Australians are overweight or obese• If weight gain continues at current levels, by 2020, 80% of all
Australian adults and a third of all children will be overweight or obese.
NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE GOING AWAY
