<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are all exposed to many toxins and poisons in our environment and foods. Normally, our liver, kidneys, digestive system, and skin get rid of many of the toxins. Our genetic make-up also affects our ability to be a good "detoxifier". Some people lack a gene that assists with the detoxification process. People often seek out food and supplement programs to assist the body with detoxification. Many of these programs are unsafe and can have dangerous side effects. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are safe, science based metabolic detoxification programs available. A good detoxification program is medically supervised and includes a medical food supplement that contains adequate protein to prevent muscle breakdown. A good source of fiber is included to assist with improvement in intestinal elimination without causing diarrhea or constipation. A healthy but low allergy potential elimination meal plan is recommended. Sugar, caffeine, and alcohol are avoided. Specific nutrient and plant-based supplements that support the liver, kidney, and digestive system are part of the detoxification protocol. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is proposed that a medically supervised metabolic food-supplemented detoxification program is useful in the initiation of a weight loss program by assisting in the release of toxic chemicals stored in the liver and fatty tissue. Animal studies have shown that ingestion and fat storage of certain toxins may contribute to Insulin resistance, a condition that can lead to obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Studies also show that a clinically proven detoxification protocol may contribute to symptom relief of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other conditions that are associated with environmental toxicity include cancer, fertility problems, headaches, and Parkinson’s disease. The body’s ability to get rid of toxic substances has been shown to be a factor in disease resistance. Functional and integrative medical professionals believe that detoxification programs may support the prevention of these medical problems. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At Acupuncture and Anti-aging Physicians Group in Jupiter, Florida, we offer a medically supervised ten or twenty-eight day detoxification program. For more information, come to a seminar at our office on Thursday, January 12, 2012 from 7 pm to 9 pm. The cost is $10.00 and can be applied to the purchase of a “Detoxification Package.” The seminar speakers are Elyse Marrone, RD, LD, Nutrition Specialist for Metagenics, Inc. and Vivian Tiegen, RD,M.Ed, CDE. of Acupuncture and Anti-Aging Physicians Group.

The hormones are derived from plant based sources unlike the synthetic hormones customarily prescribed. There are many hormones that decline with age. The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is the current standard for teaching, certifying and researching the relationships between aging and new treatments including bio-identicals.

Once we lose this ability, aging follows. <a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-09/giot-stb092011.php">http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2011-09/giot-stb092011.php</a></div>Dr. Tiegenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05694002771615496357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135017463346744714.post-74429941417645701342011-10-01T05:05:00.000-07:002011-10-01T05:05:35.066-07:00Ginger Slows Prostate Cancer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Anti-cancer & anti-proliferative effects shown on prostate cancer in recent article in British Journal of Nutrition. <a href="http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Research/Ginger-extract-shows-prostate-benefits-Human-study/?c=bVdZUOSjjpv3QW6vV4lGQA%3D%3D&utm_source=newsletter_daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter%2BDaily">http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Research/Ginger-extract-shows-prostate-benefits-Human-study/?c=bVdZUOSjjpv3QW6vV4lGQA%3D%3D&utm_source=newsletter_daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter%2BDaily</a></div>Dr. Tiegenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05694002771615496357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135017463346744714.post-26434349667442385202011-09-23T08:02:00.000-07:002011-09-23T08:02:49.241-07:00Running & Hydration<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Main cause for sodium depletion in runners due to too much water or sports drinks.<br />
