The Next Big Thing in Kids Supplements

If you have kids, you know how tough it can be for some kids to swallow supplements. You know that they should be having their vegetables, vitamins and minerals.  Getting it down is another story. For certain kids, its very easy but for other kids it's like pulling teeth.

If your kids are healthy, does it matter the name of the disease?  In our age of Attention deficit, Autism, Allergies, Asthma, Exzema & Learning disorders, our sanity as a family can be greatly compromised. Here is a more natural way to help your kids with these conditions.

With all the above conditions,  the key is doing the appropriate testing and especially spending time with the family to get a full history.  This helps laser in on potential causes of the problem.  The bottom line is that "drug free" solutions don't mean a "hill of beans" if they can't swallow the solution. Here is a great site to give you hints on getting it into their bodies.

Miraculous Shifts in Your Health Can Be Yours!

Does it make sense that if you're healthy that your body will be able to beat disease? I have seen this in my cancer patients, autoimmune patients, migraine patients, fibromyalgia patients, obese patients, diabetic patients, multiple sclerosis patients Etc. These patients are beating their disease by getting healthy following a science-based approach.

Whether you're 5 or 95 years old, your body was made to heal given the right internal body environment! But we can't see what's inside because we don't have X-ray vision. Using a science based approach, we can put our Superman X-ray eyes on and see what's going inside the body.

Science-based nutrition™, is a comprehensive analysis of your body's imbalances, by using blood testing for nutritional deficiencies as well as hair and urine analysis to determine mineral balance/heavy metals toxins.

Your body is wonderfully made! Like an orchestra that is in perfect pitch and tune, your body should sing a pleasant harmony. Ideally, the body synchronizes with essential nutrients, minerals & vitamins that produces a beautiful song of Health!

I have been using a evidence based, results driven approach with my patients for the past 10 years. In my drive to see better results with my patients, I'm always researching and am grateful to add a rich arsenal to my practice using Science Based Nutrition™.  Dr. Van Merkel developed this system and I'm thoroughly enjoying helping and giving hope to patients with cancer, MS, autoimmune and other conditions with this system.

Imagine your body talking to you.  What would it say?  Would it say "I have atrial fibrillation, migraines or cancer"? Whether it is shouting out with a group of symptoms or no symptoms at all really is a mute point when it comes to health.  How many people do you know that don't have symptoms the day before they get diagnosed with stage 4 cancer or other disease? Conversely, most of my patients came in here at their wits end with miserable symptoms. What is the bottom line? Symptoms or no symptoms, neither determines how healthy you are.

The body does not care the name of the disease, it just cares about getting healthy.

We don't treat the disease. We treat the whole YOU! In fact, does it matter the name of the disease when your healthy?

Are Your Supplements Causing More Harm than Good?

Questions to ask Before Buying Supplements?

1. Will they work for your problem or if you have bought them already, is it solving your health issue?

2. Have your supplements been tested and proven successful as evidenced with scientific lab tests?

3. Has your supplements been used in real life clinical experience from many doctors with 100’s of total years combined experience?

4. Are they cGMP certified?

   FDA is becoming more stringent with supplement companies.  Those companies that don't abide, will close up shop!  GMP Certification (Good manufacturing Practices) was started in 2007.  GMP is the minimum that you should look for in a supplement.  It’s important to understand that GMP certification by itself may not ensure that the vitamin or mineral supplement you take will provide the benefits you’ve seen or heard advertised. But it can help to make sure that you are getting what you pay for in the bottle, and that it’s been handled in a manner that attempts to ensure your safety.    A study was done by Consumer labs (www.consumerlab.com) did a study on Valerian for 10 companies.   5 had the amount of Valerian it said on the label.  5 did not.   One had Zero Valerian!  Getting what it says on the label is where GMP is critical.

5. Are they providing Certificates to disclose any harmful ingredients have been checked for?

   In a dedicated effort to secure  the superior quality and purity of our quality professional lines, raw materials and finished product lab documentation retention is a must to prove the standards required prior to giving them to our patients. In the interest of full transparency, all independent lab Certificates of Analysis are available upon request.

   The following is from one of our vendors that we trust:  Designs for Health:

   Certificates of Analysis & Raw Material Testing

   Our raw material vendors are measured against criteria designed to quantify the stringent quality parameters we insist upon. We purchase our raw materials only from those vendors who are able to meet our exacting requirements.

   Designs for Health maintains the following documentation requirements for raw materials:

   Certificates of Analysis (C of As) : Every lot must be accompanied by comprehensive vendor-supplied documentation of the material's identity, potency, and purity.

   Independent Laboratory Analysis: Providing an extra measure of quality assurance, all raw materials used in the manufacture of Designs for Health products are monitored for potential contaminants and tested for the marker compound quantities as defined on our label. Numerous analytical testing processes are employed, as applicable, including HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography) and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), to name a few.

   Finished Product Testing

   Our quality control process does not end with C of As and raw material testing. As an additional line of assurance, each and every Designs for Health product is analyzed for finished product content to confirm that the manufacturing process has resulted in a finished product that meets label claims.

Why is there a Prop 65 Warning Label on this product?

This is a frivolous warning label from California Proposition 65.  My family and I take products with this label because its safe.  Please read below.

1. Proposition 65 is a California law that requires a warning on any products containing qualifying
levels of over 800 substances, such as pesticides, heavy metals, and even Vitamin A at certain
levels.
2. The reason some of our products contain this warning is due to the presence of lead above .5 mcg
per recommended daily dose or per serving. This affects less than 15% of our products.
NOTE: The highest per serving lead level found in any Designs for Health product is less than
you might find in a 4 oz. serving of lettuce.
3. We use the purest ingredients available, but lead is everywhere in our environment and is
impossible to avoid in many natural, plant-based ingredients. That’s because lead is found in the
soil where the plants are grown and, therefore, it is present in virtually all plant-based foods.

Examples of lead content of common foods as reported by U.S. FDA
(These foods would require a Prop 65 warning if they were dietary supplements)
Median Highest found
Food mcg/serving mcg/serving
Lettuce, leaf, raw 0.57 1.59 4 oz. serving
Spinach, fresh/frozen, boiled 1.47 7.03 4 oz. serving
Bread, cracked wheat 0.68 2.38 6 oz. serving
Sweet potatoes, fresh, baked 1.59 7.26 4 oz. serving
Fruit juice blend (100% juice) 0.85 2.38 6 oz. serving
Data from US Food & Drug Administration
Total Diet Study - Market Baskets 2006-1 through 2008-4; Market Baskets 1991-3 through 2005-4
The fact is – most foods found in the produce section of the grocery store, along with many other
healthy foods such as nuts, fish, wine, and many others – would require a Prop 65 warning label if the
law was uniformly enforced.

Does a Prop 65 warning mean the product is unsafe?

1. No. As the State of California’s own Proposition 65 website states, “A Proposition 65 warning
does not necessarily mean a product is in violation of any product-safety standards or
requirements.”
2. The FDA’s Recommended Safe and Tolerable Daily Diet Lead Intake for adults is 75 mcg. 
• This is 150 times the amount that requires a Prop 65 warning, and yet is considered safe by
the U.S. FDA
3. The FDA has established 750 mcg as the amount of lead that is known to cause health problems.
• This is 1,500 times the amount that requires a Prop 65 warning
An Industry-Wide Issue
This issue affects all companies that make nutritional supplements. The fact that some companies
selling in California are not adding warning labels to their products does not mean their products are
free of lead. Some companies may not be aware of the law; some have apparently chosen not to
comply; still others have been sued or are currently in litigation with the state of California regarding
their failure to comply with the law. 
Since consumers have the right to be informed, and even practitioners are subject to the law and
subject to fines for failure to comply, DFH has chosen to add warning labels to any affected products, 
thereby informing consumers and protecting all parties involved.

Fighting Osteoarthritis. How to Preserve My Joints for a Lifetime.

I had a mom and daughter struggling with weight issues come to me.   The mom was also battling "bad knees" from "Osteoarthritis".  I told her the great success I was having with a medical food called "Arthroben" for my patients with joint problems.  She tried it and a month later she comes to my office and says that she feels so much better taking the Arthroben. She says walking and going up and down stairs is so much better, so she came back to get more Arthroben from my office.

What is a Medical Food and how can Arthoben help Osteoarthritis?

Regarding arthroben,  it is a medical food with "osteoarthritis" on the label.  Notice that supplements are not allowed to have any "condition" on the label or the FDA police can stop them.   In this case the condition is osteoarthritis. A supplement anybody can obtain at a store for general health but will only have "general statements" like "supports immune health" or "joint health"

If the supplement does not say "a condition", i.e. a diagnosis like "osteoarthritis" than it's just a supplement.  

The FDA regulates this and professional companies that primarily supply doctors offices must be very careful or can get hefty fines or even get shut down.  It's definitely not just a marketing gimmick.

Here is more info on medical foods from the fda:  http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/MedicalFoods/UCM362995.pdf

This "medical food" has helped my patients with osteoarthritis tremendously.  

More info:  http://www.designsforhealth.com/SitoMedica_Medical_Foods.html

If you would like to talk to me personally whether this can help you, feel free to call me at no charge to you. 

To those of you interested in trying it out,  it is a medical food and must be obtained from a clinic,  I have a limited time offer to give you.   20% off your first bottle.   Its $60-63 for the bottle (3 varieties, unflavored ($60), green apple and lemon lime ($63).  You take it with water and it tastes good to most patients. Your first bottle lasts 2 wks and then after that,  1 bottle will last a month.  Your first bottle does not last as long because you take more the first 2 wks.

Offer expires on June 30, 2015

What's up with aging?

What's up with aging?

It's not Botox my friends!

You're not 30 anymore, and what you took for granted in your younger years has been replaced by various aspects of change that you either see or feel as your physiology changes.

More importantly, is the need to ward off disease. No you are not exempt from this group, but you can take measures to enhance your health and provide your body with protective actions based upon your lifestyle behaviors and the science of an integrative approach to health care.

What should you be most concerned with?

While I could pick from an arsenal of tests based upon ones family history, current lifestyle habits and your individual complaints, there are some fundamental markers that must be examined in all of us, and these markers, known in medical science are termed biomarkers as they reflect our biology and what state they are in.

When you have your blood taken, each one of the tests prescribed represents a given biomarker. Of course it is the collective gathering of various biomarkers that allows us as doctors to understand the "bodies story", and what clinical actions to take to help you improve the quality of your health. But herein lies a critical issue. How your doctor was trained, thinks, and if he or she practices conventional medicine alone, or incorporates the emerging science of functional medicine, clinical nutrition and the role that epigenetic's plays in our lives can make all the difference.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine can be defined as both the way a doctor thinks (causation and mechanism based as opposed to symptom suppression or formulary based in many cases). Utilizes unique laboratory testing, as well as standard testing to help define your health issues; along with the use of natural medicines when applicable. Who said a pharmaceutical drug is the only way to treat an illness? Seriously think about this statement for a moment.

What is Epigenetic's?

Epigenetic's can be defined as all the things you bathe your cells in every day, (what surrounds our genes), such as your stress levels, what you eat, your weight, how much you exercise, the chemicals you are exposed to over time, etc.

One of the two most important biomarkers to keep a tight rein on, are your sugars, and inflammation.

View fullsize

A standard chemistry reports our glucose levels, but if we rely on this alone, it is not enough to tell the story. We must have a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and a fasting insulin level, as the HbA1c reflects where your sugars have averaged over 3 months.

Why is this so important?

In America currently 79 million people are pre diabetic, and 26 million are diabetic. Collectively this represents 105 million people with a sugar disorder, and we have approximately 300 million people in our country.  The profundity of this fact, and the fall out of high sugars in the blood stream are directly related to significant increased rates of cardiovascular disease (Still the # 1 killer), cancers, Alzheimer's disease and other vascular disorders that cost you either the loss of life or the quality of it, that you were born to maintain.

The real truth is while we have all been taught to watch our cholesterol levels, and everyone has bought into this as the end all do all to prevent disease of our cardiovascular system, it is our sugars and inflammation that take center stage, not cholesterol that we need to put our focus on.

The science supporting this statement is actually overwhelming, but the pharmaceutical companies choose to continue to push statin drugs over this science because the cash cow it has produced is so amazing that until an equally profitable drug for sugar and inflammation can replace it, it's here to stay. I know this is a painful reality, but you can't look away from the truth!

So how do I know if my inflammation markers are up?

We all know when we have a painful swollen joint. It's red, hot and it hurts.  That's not the inflammation I'm referring to. It is a chronic low grade inflammation that resides in your blood vessels and body that causes all the havoc over time.

There are 2 primary biomarkers we can assess easily on a blood test.

One is called C-reactive protein or CRP, the other is called Cardio CRP or sensitive CRP. 

CRP alone is a general inflammation marker for your whole body; Cardio CRP is specific to inflammation in your blood vessels. If your cardio CRP is elevated, your risk of stroke or a heart attack is greatly increased.

While there are many factors that influence CRP's, a primary driver is insulin resistance or elevated sugars! This biomarker when elevated can actually cause the plaque in your blood vessels to break loose and throw a clot. So when you actually look at the mechanism behind this part of your physiology, you begin to understand its importance.

How do I know if these biomarkers are okay and if I'm healthy?

-One of the best ways to remain healthy is to take an interest and become more proactive about your health.

-Make sure to ask your doctor to run these critical tests I have outlined for you, if he or she has not already done so. 

-If you want a second opinion or interpretation, call me and I will be happy to read these tests for you. 

Exercise and maintaining a healthy weight is still and will always be the elephant in the room. No pill, potion or lotion can ever take its place, despite your hopes for science to save you from a fundamental of life.-

If you want a second opinion or interpretation, call me and I will be happy to read these tests for you.  

As we age, without exercise our body composition changes. We lose muscle mass, and its replaced with fatty tissue. This is without weight gain, so if you add weight gain to this equation, your body composition starts taking on a whole new picture, and it's not favorable!  Over time this equates to a dreaded state we observe in many of our aging parents or the elderly, and if we could put one word to best describe it, it could be best stated as frailty. 

Oh it's just fat, and I'm getting older. Isn't that just part of aging?

NO IT IS NOT!

The truth is that, the awareness of your health is your responsibility to yourself.

If you want to reduce your propensity to disease, you need to be mindful of what your body requires to keep your Ferrari a well oiled machine.

The quality, quantity and types of food you eat daily is the fuel you feed that Ferrari.

As the old adage goes- "Garbage in garbage out".

The science on diet, lifestyle and disease prevention is not coming. It's here, and always has been. The food industry is driven by profits, not your health. Keep reading quality information such as the recently published study on the Mediterranean diet.

So successful were the results of this Meta analysis study, proving its cardiovascular health benefits that even the American Heart Association's diet now must acknowledge its recommendations were wrong. (In high probability it will just adopt these new guidelines, but who cares as long as people are taught to eat foods that actually promote health and longevity).

Take fish oils daily, eat nuts seeds and legumes. Consume more lean proteins like fish and increase your use of olive oil.

Increase salads, vegetables and fruits, especially berries and DO NOT EAT A LOW FAT DIET! The theory on low fat diets has unequivocally been proven wrong. It is the types of fat that we consume, that makes all the difference.

Low fat diets promote high carbohydrate intake, and this directly drives insulin resistance and diabetes. The American epidemic of obesity has in part been driven by disseminating the wrong information, despite its good intentions.

I would also urge you to make sure your Vitamin D status is optimal as well, so your doctor needs to run this chemistry every 6 months.

Optimal vitamin D levels are associated with healthy bone density, lowered inflammation, improved immune surveillance and cancer reduction, as well as lowered mortality rates across the board in the elderly.

While the reference range is 30-100, the institute for functional medicine advises a level of 50-80 for optimal wellness, and I concur completely.  Most patients require 2000-4000 iu. Vitamin D3 per day to attain this goal. The institute of medicine in my opinion is way off the mark with its recommendations of 600 iu. of vitamin D a day when the literature clearly favors higher levels for optimal health.

Eat healthy, stay active; maintain a flexible spine and healthy nervous system through chiropractic care and exercise.  Have a great physical every year with a cutting edge doctor, and instead of fearing what your doctor may tell you, based upon lifestyle habits that you know are not conducive to good health- impress your doctor by showing him or her that you took proactive measures in your own hands, and be proud of your personal accomplishments.

How to Test Yourself for Gluten Sensitivity

"Use a light touch, its not a grudge match"

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic estimate that approximately 1.8 million Americans are suffering from celiac disease, and of those approximately 1.4 million do not know it. What is celiac disease? It is an allergy to gluten, a component in wheat and many other grains found in everything from bread to gravy that causes inflammation and damage to the lining of one's digestive tract and can be so severe as to lead to intestinal cancer. It is hard to diagnose, because there are an estimated 300 possible symptoms and they can be in combination with other conditions, because bottom line, if your digestive system is inflamed, you are not digesting your foods properly and you are malnourished.

Mayo Clinic Study

View fullsize

If the condition exists, the sooner you stop eating the offending gluten, the less damage there is to heal and less danger of the more severe complications having already set in.

It is well known to Alternative practitioners that wheat sensitivities have been around and have been treatable for many years now.  One simple test for wheat sensitivity that you can do is muscle testing.  This is admittedly a weird test, but it works.  The beautiful thing is that we can verify all muscle testing with scientific lab work if you want to spend the money.  Now it turns from weird to scientific!  Our office likes to do both because I want to verify the muscle testing.

Concept of muscle testing:

Did I mention how your body was amazingly created?  Billions of atoms along with thousands of miles of nerves produce electrical frequencies that radiate from your body several inches.  Do you remember the atom from grade school?  It has electrons which are electrical.  In addition to this, your body has  nerves from your brain going to your spinal cord going to all the different parts of your body.  Your brain orchestrates all the movement patterns of electricity via your neurotransmitters.  These are electrical as well.  This is what produces the electrical reflexes on the surface of your skin.  More crazy then this, you don't have to touch the skin to be in the electrical sphere of the patient.  Just being close to the skin can elicit a muscle testing response.  I know it's weird.  But did I say it works?

Steps in muscle testing for gluten:

1.  Get some bread.

2.  Both the tester and the person being tested must drink a glass of water so that they will be hydrated.  Dehydration can prevent good muscle testing.  

3.  The person being tested must hold up their left arm with their elbows locked.

4.  You must first check that the person is testable.

5.  The tester presses down gently for a split second only and checks for a lock of the arm of the person being tested.  The tester says:  "lock your arm while I push down". 

This is not a grudge match.  The tester should feel a immediate resistance of that muscle.  This is to get a baseline.

6.  Now, the tester with the pointer finger of the left hand touches the bridge of the nose of the person being tested.  The arm of the person being tested should give and not lock.  This is one of a few points in the body that this is healthy and normal.  If the person's arm does not give and is still locked when you test this point, the person is not testable and you cannot continue.  This becomes more of a complicated thing and may need to go to a professional to discern what is causing this.  If the person is testable, from here on forward, the arm should not give no matter what you test unless the body has an imbalance at the point you are testing.  The tester takes a piece of bread and puts it right next to the person's stomach.  This point is located on the bottom of the sternum in the center of your chest.  Run your hand down the sternum and when it becomes soft, this is where the stomach is.

7.  Hold the bread next to the stomach.  If the person is sensitive to it, their arm will not be able to lock.  You will feel a give in the arm.  This takes some practice but after few times you should be able to feel the difference.  You can do this with any food.  If they food needs a container, use only a clear glass or container and hold the container next to the stomach with the open part of the container facing the stomach.  The closer the food to the  stomach the better.  

I was doing a educational presentation the other day and tested someone in the room for wheat allergy.  She stated, "It took a $300 lab test to test for wheat.  Dr. Paul did it in 2 seconds without charge.". 

That is why I like this test. It's simple, non-invasive and you can protect you and your family if you do have wheat/gluten sensitivity.

If you have a difficult time doing this, I would be happy to show you for free how to do this at the office.

Feel free to comment below to let me know how you did on this test.  Was it difficult to test? Was it easy?  Are you sensitive to wheat?

The Effect of Female/Male Hormone Disruptors

This was a very interesting article.  As I read this article I thought about my patient.  He is male in early 50's who had increased urination. He was concerned about waking up at night and losing sleep.  More so about prostate cancer risk.  So he got a series of medical tests including a prostate exam, followed by a vaccination then a PSA blood work, in that order.  What they found was an increased PSA which decreased one month later upon re-testing the PSA levels.  He did not get the prostate exam or the vaccination shot at the time of re-testing.  So one wonders what caused the increased PSA levels?  Thankfully, he did not receive any more invasive procedures because they just wanted to wait and see since PSA levels was already progressing downwards. When he came to my clinic, testing revealed he was affected by plastics which have endocrine disruptors (hormone messer-uppers). The prostate gland is highly susceptible to endocrine disruptors in our environment. Plastic being one of the many endocrine disruptors. Upon further questioning, the patient stated that he had been consuming his water through plastic bottles primarily.  Testing also revealed excessive contamination with bacteria in his body.  After some natural therapies & treatments his urination is less frequent and patient is waking up less at night.  I am curious to see what his next PSA level will show.
