Rockefeller University
Dr. Bruce McEwen, Neuro-Endocrinologist
“We’re learning that post traumatic stress disorder, burnout, chronic fatigue syndrome
and fibromyalgia are related in some ways to stress.”
STRESS
University of California, San Francisco white blood cells women with children with chronic disorders eg; autism, cerebral palsy etc. Premature ageing - Telomeres, caps protect unraveling at ends of chromosome
pairs, Like plastic wrappers at end of shoelaces. Caps shorten each time cell divides
Young cells have long telomeres, old cells eventually shrink, stop dividing and die.
Stressed out Mothers had significantly shorter telomeres. 9 to 17 times older than their chronological age

1. Iron deficiency - nutritional, loss of blood
2. Pernicious anaemia - Vitamin B12 deficiency
3. Megaloblastic anaemia - Lack of folic acid & B12
Abnormally low amount of red blood cells.
4. Sickle cell anemia - genetic African , Mediterranean, Middle Eastern descent .on Hemoglobin molecules tend to clump together, making red blood cells sticky, stiff, fragile, forming into a curved, sickle shape
Thalassemia major Thalassemia minor Mediterranean origin, Chinese, other Asians,
and blacks
Low haemoglobin productionExcessive destruction of red blood
cells
Anaemia by three months/eighteen months, pale, sleep poorly, no appetite, may vomit after feedings. If untreated, fatal between one and eight years of age.
Paleness Headaches Fatigue Shortness of breath Jaundice Spleen enlargement
Folic acid (a vitamin that your body needs to produce new red blood cells).
Joint pain Fatigue Lack of energy Weight loss Generalized darkening of skin colour (often referred to as bronzing) Abdominal pain Loss of sexual desire Testicular atrophy Loss of body hair Weakness Heart problems Symptoms related to the onset of diabetes
HaemochromatosisToo much iron builds up in the liver.
This leads to liver enlargement
Primary haemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder in the United States, affecting an estimated 1out of every 200 to 300 Americans.

pH-State
All ingested substances and all situations (physical, emotional or mental) that affect the body, leave either an alkaline or acid
ash residue in the urine
pH-StatepH = potential HydrogenA measurement of
Hydroxyl (oH-) ions which are negative and alkaline forming
related to Hydrogen (H+) ions that are positive and acid
forming
pH is the measurement of electrical resistance between negative and positive ions in the body
(electro-chemical reactions)
pH-StateAn alkaline forming reaction refers to any
chemical alteration in the body that produces an increased ability to energise the system and leaves an alkaline residue in the body.
An acid forming reaction refers to any chemical alteration in the body that produces a decreased ability to energise the system and leaves an acid residue in the urine.
pH-StateALKALINE FORMING MINERALS (ACID
BINDING)
Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron & Manganese
ACID FORMING MINERALS (ALKALINE BINDING)
Sulphur, Chlorine, Iodine Bromine, Fluorine, Copper, Silicon
pH-StateDuring Sleep Body electricity: pulses at 0.5 and 2.5 times per second
Our body switches to alkaline phase CNS is electromagnetically negative (producing south seeking magnetic field) Our electrons spin in counter-clockwise direction Stimulates production of anabolic hormones (Melatonin & Growth hormone)
On Awakening Consciousness emerges 22 cycles per second with low amplitude The more alkalinity, the greater the amplitude of electricity
pH-StateAlkaline forming foods
Most fruits & vegetables Granola cereal Almonds, chestnut, coconut Alfalfa, radish Avocado, olive, soy, sunflower Brown rice, sugar, honey Fruit juices, vegetable juices, herbal teas Garlic, salt, tomato sauce, vinegar (apple
cider), yeast
pH-StateAcid forming foods
Most meats Plums, prunes Barley, brown rice, oats, rye, wheat, white rice Broad beans, kidney beans, lentils Brans, refined breads Brazil, cashew, macadamia, peanuts, walnuts Pumpkin, sunflower, wheat germ Cheese (or neutral) Cream, eggs, milk Artificial sweeteners Honey (processed, pasteurized)Wine, beer, coffee White processed vinegar

pH-StateENERGY is released when anions & cations

vegetables containing calcium [leafy greens] potassium, sodium & magnesium)

VasoStateTypes of Cholesterol1. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
Harmful form of cholesterol
Influenced by diet
2. High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Helpful Cholesterol – transports cholesterol to the liver
Influenced by exercise
3. Triglycerides Fats carried through the bloodstream
Stored in fat tissue
Factors influencing Cholesterol levels
1. Heredity (familial hypercholesterolaemia)
2. Diet – Saturated & trans fatty acids Contain cholesterol – meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products
Contains no cholesterol – fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, grains, cereals, nuts, seeds
3. Weight – Excess weight tends to increase LDL level. Weight loss tends to reduce Triglycerides and raise HDL
4. Physical activity/exercise – helps raise HDL
VasoState
VasoStateFactors influencing Cholesterol levels5. Age & sex
Blood cholesterol rises until about 60 or 65 years of age
After 50 years of age, women often have higher levels of cholesterol
6. Alcohol Increases HDL – does not lower LDL Too much harms. Limited intake reduces
risk of heart attack.
7. Stress Raises cholesterol levels (maybe because of
consolation eating)
VasoStateElevated CholesterolFACT
Elevated cholesterol is associated with atherosclerosis & cardiovascular disease (CVD)
QUESTION
Is it only cholesterol that causes atherosclerosis or are there other predisposing factors?
Influences & risk factors associated with CVD1. Low ascorbate levels
Cause lesions & predispose to plaquing
2. Excessive Homocysteine
Caused by deficiency of B6 , B12 & Folic acid during methylation process
VasoStateInfluences & risk factors associated
with CVD3. Excessive free radical formation
Caused by environmental pollution and smoking
4. Dehydration
Causes thicker, acid blood
Heart Disease & Vitamin CHeart Disease & Vitamin C Arteries are commonly depleted of Vitamin C, even in individuals
who appear healthy & well-nourished Even when cholesterol is largely eliminated from diet, Vitamin C
deficiency can cause cholesterol accumulation in heart arteries
Large daily doses of Vitamin C and comparable doses of lysine reduce anginal chest pain
Multiple studies show that diabetics have depressed, scurvy-like plasma levels of Vitamin C
Studies show that heart attacks occur more often in winter months, corresponding to decreased levels of Vitamin C due to
seasonal variations A clear protocol for preventing and reversing arterial blockages is
available and has been borne out via many studies

VasoStateNiacin (Vit B3)
1. Inhibits free fatty acid release from adipose tissue
2. Inhibits cyclic AMP accumulation which controls activity of triglyceride, lipase & hence lipolysis
3. Decreases rate of liver synthesis of LDL & VLDL
4. Produces vasodilation of cutaneous blood vessels of face, neck & chest
VasoStatePolicosonol Is a mixture of waxy alcohols derived from
certain plants including sugar cane & wheat germ oil
Inhibits liver cholesterol synthesis
Increases degradation of LDL
Decreases collagen induced platelet aggregation (equal to 100mg of aspirin per day)

Probiotics- Means “For Life” as contrasted with….
Antibiotics
- “Against life”
History
- It is said that Abraham owed his long life to the consumption of sour milk – Gen 18vs8
- Roman historian Plinius recommended fermented milk products for treating gastroenteritis
- Early researchers claimed that yoghurt increased longevity, reduced diarrhoea and was abundant in the gut of breast fed infants.
FloraState
Probiotics- These are live strains of good bacteria which help our digestive system work efficiently
- These include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria
Prebiotics- These are nutrients and components of food upon which our gut bacteria feed
- These include inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides (found in artichokes, chickory root, leeks, onions & garlic)
Synbiotics- These are where probiotics and prebiotics are used in combination.
- This improves the survival of the probiotic organism because its specific substrate is available
