Hypothyroid

Fermentation caused by fungus stops the Thyroid from getting the essential biological building blocks needed to produce it's hormones in order to regulate body temperature and help in the making of some neurotransmitters. The receptor sites are also affected by the Cytotoxins by being a mimic of T-4 & T-3. Not only does this lack of thyroid hormone produce some fatigue and may make the person's hands & feet cold but it can affect the brain in several ways. One is foggy thinking. It seems to physically interrupt short-term memory because of Candida's alcohol by-product. Alcohol is documented to cause brain and nervous system damage.

Bloating & Gas

Think about this for a moment: What is produced when brewing companies combine grains with yeast?  They get alcohol do they not?  Well you have all the yeast in your body just waiting for you to eat some bread, corn or other grain food like pancakes or oatmeal. The alcohol byproduct can make you semi-drunk and foggy minded. This can also happen when you take in any food that turns into quick sugar. The combining of sugar with yeast causes bloating. This makes alcohol and another by-product carbon dioxide. 

(You are now like a big glass of beer with the bubbles rising) 

This fermenting process disrupts the proper digestion process. The result is that you will either bloat because of holding in the carbon dioxide or else release the gas. This happens when you eat high glycemic carbohydrates, grains or beans, etc. These foods are the main source of fast sugars, which the fungus thrives on.  Either, avoid all foods that make you bloat or kill off the fungus overgrowth having a party with the food you just ate.

Brain

The brain gets semi-drunk on the ethanol alcohol by-product produced by the fungus when it digests sugars. This may cause brain-fog, slurred speech or slow thinking. However, if the person also has a low body temperature, the enzymes needed to break down the ethanol may not be available. In this case the ethanol begins to cause actual brain damage.

Nutrient Absorption

Mal-absorption is the result of fungus in the small intestine. Normally yeast/fungus is only found in the large intestine. With yeast overgrowth it migrates into the small intestine and covers all the receptors for absorption plus dilutes all normal processes of digestion. The person now begins to have organs and glands starving for nutrients. Without those nutrients systems begin to shut down such as; the blood cannot get iron from food, anemia; the thyroid cannot get the amino acids necessary to make hormone, hypothyroid; the chaperone minerals are missing to escort sugar and insulin into the cells, hypoglycemia, etc.

It Pays to Take Your Vitamins (Whole Food Derived)

After 20 years, the American Medical Association (AMA) has completely reversed its anti-vitamin stance and now encourages all adults to supplement daily with a multiple vitamin.

A landmark review of 38 years of scientific evidence by Harvard researchers, Dr. Robert Fletcher and Dr. Kathleen Fairfield, convinced the conservative Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) to rewrite its policy guidelines regarding the use of vitamin supplements. In two reports, published in the June 19, 2002 edition of JAMA, the authors conclude that the current North American diet, while sufficient to prevent vitamin deficiency diseases (such as scurvy and pellagra), is totally inadequate to support the need for optimal health. Insufficient vitamin intake is apparently a cause of chronic disease. Recent evidence has shown that sub-optimal levels of vitamins (below standard), even well above those causing deficiency syndromes, are risk factors for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis. A large portion of the general population (about 90%) is apparently at increased risk for this reason.

In the study, the authors examine several nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, folic acid and several of the beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, lycopene and lutein. Among their conclusions they note: folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 are required for proper homocystene metabolism, and low levels of the vitamins are associated with increased risk of heart disease; inadequate folic acid status increases the risk of neural tube defects and some cancers: vitamin E and lycopene appear to decrease the risk of prostate cancer: vitamin D is associated with a decreased risk of osteoporosis and fracture, when taken with calcium: inadequate vitamin B12 is associated with anemia and neurological disorders: low levels of the carotenoids appear to increase the risk of breast, prostate and lung cancer: inadequate vitamin C is associated with increased cancer risk: low vitamin A status is associated with vision disorders and impaired immune function.

From What Source Should Your Vitamins Come

The majority of vitamin supplements on the market today are made in a laboratory from synthetic compounds.  Some are even derived from sterilized raw sewerage.  In addition, they are basically unabsorbable and a waste of money.

Our bodies are organic, made up of minerals and water. Putting anything synthetic into our metabolic system causes major complications because our digestive system, liver and kidneys cannot recognize nor properly metabolize these foreign substances.  The damage these compounds cause far out ways the benefits.

Only "Whole Food" derived vitamins and minerals can be properly assimilated by our systems and recognized for their nutritional value. BUYER BEWARE!  The words "Natural or All Natural" do not mean that the supplements are derived from whole food sources.  Over 95% of the supplements found on shelves, even in health food stores are completely or partially synthetic in nature.  

WHY WASTE YOUR MONEY ON SOMETHING YOUR BODY CANNOT ABSORB, OR CAN CAUSE YOU MORE HARM THAN GOOD?

It is advisable to speak with a Certified Holistic Practitioner as to what supplements/vitamins you should be taking.

Be assured, the practitioners at our Wellness Center will only suggest 100% Whole Food Supplements with all of our Nutritional Programs.

Only 10% of Americans are nutritionally "efficient".  Are you one of them?  Nutritional deficiency leads to chronic disease!  Testing for nutritional deficiency is simple and inexpensive.
