5 Facts About NLP

---

5 Facts About NLP Posted: 30 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT Neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP, is a behavioral-modification technique used by a wide range of mental health practitioners, including psychiatrists, medical physicians, hypnotherapists, and general counselors. This psychological modality was invented and introduced to the public in the 1970s and continues to remain a popular tool for initiating positive change within individuals. The evidence that exists is not as abundant as the claims, making it a somewhat supplementary approach rather than a sole application for personal concerns. Five Facts About Neuro-linguistic Programming The use of guided visualizations along with specific language patterns are interwoven into what is known as NLP. For years claims on the benefit of this practice have been numerous, with many of them including improving memory and focus, aiding weight loss, detecting lies, [1] and decreasing anxiety. Only a few research studies have been successful in supporting these claims. This is not to say that NLP isn't effective, but to merely suggest that this tool may be simply a complementary approach that only sees results in a certain type of individual. Here are a few of the claims that have been made in relation to NLP: #1. Weight Loss Psychological behavioral modification programs can be helpful for decreasing food intake and increasing exercise consistency. This led many NLP experts to believe that neuro-linguistic programming may also be an effective weight loss approach. One research study examined the effects of weight loss with either NLP or a cooking course. People in the NLP group lost more weight initially, but the dropout rate was higher than that of the cooking class. [2] No evidence existed to show any difference in weight maintenance two to three years following both approaches. Thus, the evidence for NLP and weight loss remains inconclusive. #2. Learning An NLP practice may be helpful for improving self esteem in children with dyslexia, possibly having a positive impact on their learning capabilities. [3] These findings were mainly due to the fact that NLP helped to provide a deeper sense of relaxation and lower level of anxiety in participants. Researchers agree that more examination is needed, especially for those with ADD/ADHD. #3. Anxiety One study on individuals with claustrophobia undergoing an MRI found that NLP was an effective tool for decreasing anxiety. [4] In fact, it was so effective that it helped to reduce the necessity of anesthesia. Other studies have shown that NLP may lower trait-anxiety scores. [5] The combination of relaxation and guided imagery is perhaps the biggest contributor to decreasing anxious feelings in most individuals. General stress, however, has yet to be studied in relation to NLP. #4. Depression There is some evidence suggesting that NLP may be a useful tool for supporting an overall healthy mood. [6] This evidence is limited, however, and should not indicate that NLP has a direct positive effect on lifting depression. Since depression involves a multitude of personal factors that are unique to the patient, the approaches for dealing with symptoms should also be multifaceted and specifically tailored to the individual. #5. Habits NLP has remained one of the most sought-after methods for releasing bad habits and replacing them with positive actions. Despite the anecdotal evidence that exists, very little research is available in the scientific literature. Since NLP has no risk for side effects, it can be viewed as a tool that one can use in their arsenal when fighting bad habits like reaching for fast food or delaying exercise. One Final Thought The practice of NLP holds no significant side effects and can be seen as an experimental approach that may complement conventional psychotherapy. Eating well, exercise, and plenty of sunlight are also helpful for maintaining a healthy mental state. Everyone is different in regards to mentality, and no one approach can fit every person. That being said, it is important to use these techniques alongside approaches provided by a trusted physician or therapist. -Dr. Edward F.

Vitamin D Deficiency – How Do I Know If I’m At Risk?

---

Vitamin D Deficiency – How Do I Know If I’m At Risk? Posted: 29 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT Despite the positive discoveries of Vitamin D over the past decade, many researchers are still unsure as to the extent of which vitamin D deficiency plays in disease development. [1] Many experts also disagree on whether or not supplementation or sun exposure is best, with many believing that natural sunlight promotes more balanced blood levels. Despite the barrage of research hitting the scene, organizations continue to differ on recommendations for vitamin D intake. Recent research suggests that upwards of 75% of the American population is Vitamin D deficient, a number that is far greater than what had previously been considered. [2] Scientists believe this to be on a scale of pandemic proportions. Meanwhile, the majority of the population remains in ignorance of the correct amount of vitamin D they need on a daily basis, and a lack of knowledge in this department can prove damaging to numerous aspects of health. For the sake of your health, it is vital for everyone to understand the risk of vitamin D deficiency and what can be done about it right now. How to Determine If You Are Vitamin D Deficient The gold standard for knowing whether you’re Vitamin D deficient is blood testing. Blood levels of vitamin D3 (termed 25(OH)D, or 25­ Hydroxyvitamin D) are measured using a simple blood test that your family doctor can order. There are also simple and inexpensive at-home tests available, typically consisting of an easy blood "spot" test that can provide a blood level estimation. Vitamin D researchers and experts in this field suggest that the general population should get their levels tested at least once per year. Historically, vitamin D deficiency has been heatedly discussed in terms of what symptoms or health maladies tend to occur in the absence of sufficient intake. Deficiencies have been associated with an increased risk of many common cancers, bone disorders, autoimmune disease, hypertension, and infectious diseases. [3] If you're getting your vitamin D levels checked, here is an easy guideline to tell if you are deficient [4]: Deficient: ≤ 20 ng/mL Insufficient: 20-­30 ng/mL Optimal: 40-70 ng/mL Are You At Risk? A number of variables greatly influence whether or not we are prone to Vitamin D deficiency. To better understand this type of nutrient deficiency, it helps to briefly consider the main natural source of vitamin D — sun exposure. Yet, if we carefully consider the amount of sunlight the average American receives on a daily/monthly/yearly basis, it’s not very appreciable nor consistent with recommendations. Since sun exposure is still the predominant way in which most people receive Vitamin D (though often inadequately), it becomes clear that we need to be cognizant of ensuring sensible sun exposure by making time throughout the week for going outside. Symptoms Many people go through their daily lives with nagging aches and pains, seasonal cold/flu, persistent allergies, and a lack of vitality. Little do we know that these disorders could likely be caused by one thing — Vitamin D deficiency. Recall above that upwards of 75% of Americans are likely deficient. Below are some of the conditions that have been shown to be related to Vitamin D deficiency: Muscle weakness Joint aches and pains High blood pressure Inability to concentrate or focus Urinary incontinence, bladder issues Constipation Headaches Cold/flu, immune system decline Depression Certain diseases have also been linked to vitamin D deficiency. These include: Osteoporosis Heart disease Autoimmune diseases Periodontal disease Gout Diabetes Obesity Psoriasis Neurological disease Being better informed on what Vitamin D deficiency means and what it entails may be the difference between obtaining a better state of health or a worsening of dis-ease. Learning about what Vitamin D deficiency is, how we tend to become deficient, and the tell-­tale health symptoms that result from being Vitamin D deficient can empower us to stay vigilant in ensuring our regular intake of this super­nutrient. Do you get enough sunlight, or do you supplement with vitamin D? Let us know your thoughts and comments on this vital nutrient! -Dr. Edward F.

Microwave Sweet Potato Chips If you don't have an oven or a dehydrator, you can still make homemade chips with minimal equipment and ingredients. To prevent burning, make sure you keep a close eye as your sweet potato slices bake for 8 minutes or so since some microwaves emit an uneven amount of power. Hint of Lime Baked Tortilla Chips A dash of citrus ups the ante on your standard Tex-Mex spread. The secret? Bake tortillas until they start to crisp, sprinkle them with a zest and salt mixture and then return to the oven for a few final minutes… Olé! Pita Cups with Homemade Hummus Though not technically a chip, these pita cups make a unique — and healthy! —  appetizer. Use an empty can or cup to make circular pita rounds, press them into muffin tins and voilà! You've got yourself a handy little cup just begging to be filled with hummus, salsa or artichoke dip.

How to Detoxify Aluminum

---

How to Detoxify Aluminum Posted: 28 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT Aluminum pervades our natural environment, making it practically impossible to avoid this element completely. Not only is it present in our water, soil, and food, but many of our cooking appliances and food packaging also contain aluminum. Conventional antiperspirants and antacids, products used by millions of people every day, contain aluminum. This metal has been linked to a number of neurological conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, and some research has even linked it to cancer. As aluminum has become increasingly prevalent in our industrial civilization over the past 150 years, the accumulation of the element in the human body has risen proportionally. The Health Effects of Aluminum The light weight of aluminum makes it a desirable metal for a number of industrial products, and its high rate of reactivity also makes it ideal for many prescription pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications. Many do not realize that aluminum is also an active ingredient in vaccines. Research is beginning to show a number of negative health effects associated with aluminum, many of which are growing problems in today’s society. Alzheimer’s disease and aluminum are two hot topics in medical research, with studies showing a direct link between brain content of aluminum and incidence of cognitive impairment and dementia. Patients who have Alzheimer’s disease are more likely to have higher levels of aluminum deposits in their brain than those without the disease, causing a great deal of concern in regards to aluminum overexposure. [1] [2] In addition to possibly raising dementia risk, aluminum appears to increase a gene similar to estrogen that is often seen in breast cancer cells. [3] For this reason, some scientists warn women against using antiperspirants or other body care products that contain aluminum. Furthermore, aluminum shows a minor impact on the immune system, hindering its ability to fight off diseased cells. [4] [5] Ways We Can Detoxify Aluminum From Our Bodies Before detoxing from aluminum, steps should be taken to drastically reduce exposure to this metallic compound. Here are some ways you can eliminate common sources of aluminum: Purchase Whole Foods Aluminum cans and processed food packaging usually contain varying levels of aluminum. Make the majority of your diet whole fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts. While there is not enough research to suggest that food contributes a great deal to aluminum exposure, it is always wise to consider every avenue when seeking to avoid this potentially-toxic element. Choose Aluminum-Free Deodorant The most common source of aluminum for people today comes from deodorant. Luckily, many stores are beginning to carry more aluminum-free varieties of personal care products, with antiperspirant being the most popular. Avoid Antacids With the American diet being what it is, many people are constantly grabbing for an antacid every day after meals. This is one of the most potent sources of aluminum for the human body. Instead of using antacids, it may be wiser to choose whole foods that are easy to digest and that don’t cause heartburn in the first place. One study has shown that silica, a chemical compound found in quartz, may be helpful for reducing aluminum levels in the body. One study has shown that silica significantly reduces the absorption of aluminum in the gastrointestinal tract. [6] Drinking silica-rich mineral water may show similar effects, and further research has shown that silica may be helpful for combating aluminum toxicity by promoting its excretion through the urine. [7] A basic colon cleanse may also be helpful for eliminating wastes and harmful compounds that have accumulated in the body over time. What do you do to reduce your exposure to aluminum?

8 Benefits of Dextrin

---

8 Benefits of Dextrin Posted: 26 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT Dextrin is a water-soluble carbohydrate which acts as a natural binding agent for all the ingredients contained in detox foot pads. Not using an appropriate binder in a product like this, ingredients would disperse and leave you deprived of maximal benefit. Binding isn't the only benefit dextrin can have on human health. As a natural fiber, dextrin can aid your body's ability to remove wastes. Fiber may also support satiation and healthy weight loss. Other than that, dextrin also has the ability to lower the glycemic load of a high-carbohydrate meal. Rather than delving straight into the benefits of dextrin, let's first explain what dextrin is and how it works. What is Dextrin? Derived from dextrose (glucose), dextrin is actually a type of low-molecular-weight carbohydrate produced from the hydrolysis of starches. Hydrolysis, as the prefix suggests, involves water splitting into its basic molecular components and attaching to other molecules. While several types of dextrin exist, each have relatively the same formula and action in the body. Dextrin is used in many glue products due to its potent adhesive qualities and overall safety. The indigestible form of dextrin is often used as a fiber supplement. This form is available in Dr. Group's Detox Foot Pads. The Health Benefits of Dextrin Any natural compound that behaves as a dietary fiber has numerous benefits for human health, including weight loss and toxin cleansing. Dextrin, not to mention an assortment of other fibers, has been correlated with a decreased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. Here are 8 of the top benefits of dextrin. 1. Promotes Healthy Intestinal Bacteria Dextrin is considered a prebiotic, compounds that feed probiotics or "good" bacteria. [1] It has been shown to increase levels of lactobacilli, a powerful beneficial bacteria which is responsible for supporting digestion. [2] As the good bacteria continues to proliferate throughout the digestive system, a balanced ratio of good to bad bacteria is established. This may take time for some individuals, especially those that consume a Standard American Diet (SAD). Patients who have gone through extreme antibiotic therapy may also need time to create a balanced intestinal bacteria ratio. 2. Supports Healthy Cholesterol Levels Dietary fiber has been shown to reduce "bad" cholesterol (LDL) levels in the blood, possibly supporting cardiovascular health. [3] As a dietary fiber, dextrin is no exception as it has also been shown to reduce the levels of triglycerides in the blood stream. [4] Triglycerides are fats in the blood that have the ability to increase heart disease and stroke risk. Although it may lower LDL levels, dextrin may help maintain HDL levels, or the "good" cholesterol. 3. Reduces Constipation In general, fiber provides bulk in the intestines and allows for the elimination of wastes out of the body via increased bowel movement frequency. [5] Fiber, including dextrin, needs to be consumed with plenty of water for effectiveness. Without hydration, fiber can't move and can actually compound constipation issues. Dietary fiber supplements often contain dextrin as one of the fiber sources, typically due to its success for facilitating bowel movements. 4. Cleansing The cleansing effects of dextrin are tied to its ability to increase the frequency of bowel movements. Many toxins are stored in human wastes, yet a number of individuals have difficulty eliminating these wastes on a regular basis. Indigestible fiber also attaches itself to a variety of toxins in the body, like PCBs, and aids in their excretion. [6] Their ability to provide growth to beneficial bacteria in the digestive system also aids cleansing, as probiotics are an essential component of reducing toxic bacteria that contribute to common health conditions. 5. Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Fiber has a long-standing reputation for supporting healthy blood sugar levels, both in healthy individuals and type II diabetics. Dextrin, along with all dietary fibers, may aid in reducing the glycemic load of a meal containing carbohydrates. These fibers must be taken before or during the meal to have a noticeable effect. Although fiber is a carbohydrate, it is not digested and does not raise blood sugar or insulin. Water-soluble fiber, like dextrin, displays the most beneficial effect on glucose levels. [7] 6. Supports Heart Health The cholesterol- and triglyceride-lowering effects of dextrin make it an excellent dietary addition for supporting heart health. [8] The compound may provide support for the heart and blood vessels, an action that may lower the risk for heart disease. These are the main factors in which dextrin supports heart health, yet many researchers speculate whether or not fiber offers further benefits to the cardiovascular system. Future studies may provide more evidence in support of dextrin and the promotion of heart health. 7. Provides Satiation and Healthy Weight Loss Dextrin may help provide satiation, helping the body feel full and satisfied. In all its forms, fiber creates more bulk in the stomach and breaks down very slowly. This feeling of fullness can be very helpful for people who are wishing to lose weight. Individuals wishing to reduce their between meal snacking may want to incorporate more fiber-rich foods in their diet. Promoting a natural feeling of satiation may be helpful for providing sustained, natural weight loss. Dextrin may help reduce the size of fat cells, possibly aiding in fighting obesity. More research is needed in relation to fiber and obesity to determine if the indigestible carbohydrate can indeed combat this growing issue. 8. Supports Colon Health Research has shown that individuals who consume higher levels of water-soluble fiber have a decreased risk for colorectal cancer compared with those who consume a low-carbohydrate diet. [9] There are a few theories behind this benefit, none of which have been fully proven. One theory is that, because of its effectiveness for facilitating waste removal from the body, it may reduce an interior toxic environment that is conducive for cancer. Another theory refers to its ability to feed good bacteria in the intestines, which may play a role in protecting the colon. It could also be that people who eat a high-fiber diet are also eating a diet rich in plant foods, all of which contain varying levels of antioxidants that may support colon health. Conclusion As mentioned above, dextrin is used in Detox Foot Pads® because it binds all six active ingredients together. Its ability to bind with toxins facilitates their expulsion from the body, making it an important addition to the product. In addition to the other ingredients, dextrin may support the body's natural detoxification abilities and aid in supporting overall health. -Dr. Edward F.
