Building a Comprehensive Nutritional Practice Session 6 Information contained in this seminar series should not be construed as a claim or representation that any procedure or product mentioned constitutes a specific cure, palliative or ameliorative, for any condition. Continuing our study into nutrition and the use of the Symptoms Survey, we now see that the High Priority Groups, Digestion, Liver/Biliary and Sugar Handling, are the main area’s of treatment for many other systems of the body. The webs main frame is now woven, the remaining silks weave through the frame work to catch more bugs…. As the one system is affected so to are the others. Remember it is the habits of the patient that cause the cascade of ill health as it is also the habits that support good health. “The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.” ― Benjamin Franklin o Eat an appropriate Carbohydrate Diet o Exercise o Reduce/manage Stress FOUNDATIONAL ISSUES B&G To B or G? That is the question! Cellular Respiration: 1. Glycolysis 2. TCA Cycle 3. Beta Oxidation 4. Oxidative Phosphory lation & Electron Transport Chain GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS o The energy that a cell needs to maintain itself and perform its various functions is supplied by the oxidation of the food within the cell. In this respect, Vitamin B complex performs an important role by catalyzing the various chain reactions through its co-enzymes. This to a very large extent is related to carbohydrate metabolism and as such we must consider not only the amount of Vitamin B complex which is provided by the diet, but also the requirements for that vitamin which may be created by the ingestion of excess amounts of high carbohydrate foods, particularly sugars. Thus, the requirements for Cataplex B vary according to the amounts of carbohydrates ingested. By this reason it may prove futile to administer Cataplex B without a corresponding reduction in the overall alimentation causing the initial problem. However, when both Cataplex B is given and carbohydrate intake is brought into range, results are usually satisfactory. Cataplex B should be considered as an important adjunct in most if not all degenerative and debilitating diseases and as such used in a much wider range of clinical situations than will be outlined. Signs of B Deficiency: o o o o o o o Cardiovascular – Bradycardia (slow heart rate), Irregular heartbeat, Atrial fibrillation, Heart block, Split S1 and/or S2 tones Psychological – Psychotic tendencies, apprehension, Noise Intolerance Digestive – Reduced salivary gland and pancreatic alkaline enzymes secretion, Acidosis, Drowsiness after meals Neurological – Lack of vibration sense, Headaches like a tight band around head, Increased lactic acid with burning in soles of feet and tenderness in calves, Frequent nocturnal urination, awakens and cannot return to sleep, Back pain (esp. at night), Carpal and Tarsal tunnel syndrome Skin – Itching, Seborrheic Dermatitis Metabolic – Decreased breath-holding time, Shortness of breath, Decreased respiratory rate, Frequent yawning or fatigue, Impaired carbohydrate metabolism, Decreased body temperature Endocrine – Elevated estrogen with spider nevi, Breast swelling, Premenstrual water retention, Long heavy periods, Short intervals between periods, Generalized bloating, Inhibition of thyroid (several hypo thyroid symptoms) Cataplex B Product Bulletin Symptom Possible Etiological o Poor Muscular Tonicity Background (Lack of appetizer o Inability to metabolize weakness of legs, lactic acid accumulated muscular weakness, lack during exercise of stamina) o Lactic Acid Excess Lactic acid excess due to (Drowsiness after eating o unfavorable intestinal due to inability to environment oxidize products of fermentation) o Motor nerve conductivity o Heart Symptoms (Enlargement, tachycardia, fibrillations) o Edema (“Water-logged” o Vasodilation effect tissues, diminished produced in lactic acid urination) excess o Neurological Symptoms (Feeling of band around o Nerve integrity. head, tenderness of calf muscles, hyperirritability, melancholia, etc.) Symptom Characteristics: These follow the muscular and nervous patterns, weakness, drowsiness and mental aberrations being most common the outline which may be frequently vague or indistinct. Ingestion of high carbohydrate foods is often the most significant finding. Broken Record Signs of G Deficiency: o o o o o o o o Cardiovascular – Tachycardia, Extra ventricular beats, Angina pectoris and pre-myocardial infarction Psychological – Excessive worry, apprehension, moodiness, depression, suspicion Digestive - Insufficient stomach acid production, excess alkalinity, spastic gall bladder Liver – Cirrhosis and loss of fat metabolic activity, deficient formation of Yakitron (physiologic anti-histamine) Neurological – Insufficient acetylcholine activity, insufficient cholinesterase activity (for breaking down acetylcholine and recycling choline), restless, jumpy or shaky legs, body or limbs jerk on falling asleep, hear heartbeat on pillow Skin/Mucous Membranes – Cheilosis, friable skin especially on face and neck (when shaving), bright red tongue tip, strawberry tongue (purple), loss of upper lip, irritated mucous membranes of rectum, vagina and conjunctiva (frequent crying), excessive oil on face and nose, roughness, cracking and exfoliation of the soles of the feet, psoriasis Visual – Burning or itching of eyes, photophobia, blepharospasm, blood shot eyes due to capillary engorgement, seeing only parts of printed words (circumcorneal injection), pallor of temporal half of optic disc, transient ischemia of retina (like looking through fish bowl). Endocrine – Excess estrogen and menstruation, cystic mastitis or gynecomastia, premenstrual tension and excessive adrenal function Cataplex G Product Bulletin Symptom Characteristics: Neurological origin and symptoms of liver dysfunction Symptom Possible Etiological Background Night Sweats Autonomic nervous system reaction, cholinergic response. Paresthesia (Burning sensations Synaptic involvement, on soles central nervous system probably. origin of feet, crawling sensations) Erythema (Redness of palms of Associated with liver disease. hands and soles of feet) Paralysis (Loss of muscular Synapse at myoneural junction, control, numbness, angina-like usually involving potassium, spasms, ptosis, etc.) necessary for cholinesterase Ascites (Also venous congestion, reaction to occur. visible veins on chest and Edema, secondary to liver abdomen, hemorrhoids, etc.) failure. Eye symptoms (Blurred vision, accommodation, sensation of Muscle spasms and irritation. “sand”) Effect: With sufficient dosage, up to 6 per day, effect is usually noted by patient within 24 hours when Specific symptoms are being observed. Best results are obtained by long, continued use. Organic Mineral Tablets, as a source of potassium, may be indispensable. Mental Symptoms (Melancholia, apprehension, loss of appetite (nervous) Digestive Complaints (“Nervous” indigestion, gastritis) Pellagra-type symptoms. Cell proliferation failure causing achlorhydria, irritation; also synaptic relations governing peristalsis (parietal cells). GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS See Organic Mineral Bulletin, Page No. 31 for further information. The general nutritional effects may be listed as follow: 1. Enzymatic tranquilizer 5. Acts to normalize liver function 2. Cell proliferating factor 6. Benefits autonomic nervous system 3. Acts as coronary relaxant 7. Vasodilation effect 4. Liberation of free choline 8. Beneficial effect in digestive processes to tissues (cholinesterase) Discussion: When the synapse at the myoneural junction is effected by either a deficiency of enzymes (mediator substances) or a deficiency of potassium, it is apt to be delayed or not occur at all. The result may be paralysis, dystrophy or ptosis. Unless degeneration has gone too far, the administration of Cataplex G (cholinesterase precursors) and Organic Minerals (as a source of potassium), often quickly restores the functional response. This failure of synapse may be suspected in localized areas of stress in various conditions, such as angina pectoris, coronary insufficiency, stomach spasms and complaints of “nervousness”. Cataplex G apparently has an influence on intracellular metabolism and may be considered a cell-proliferating factor judging by clinical results in some types of viral involvements and healing processes. Beneficial in digestive processes requiring healing (gastritis) and in processes involving the pancreas and parietal cells of the stomach, also a tranquilizing effect in hyper-peristaltic activity.

The myocardium contracts after stimulation. It is the ordered stimulation of the myocardium that allows efficient contraction of the heart, thereby allowing blood to be pumped throughout the body. systole diastole (ESV) systole (EDV) diastole The volume of blood within a ventricle immediately before a contraction is known as the end-diastolic volume (EDV) . Similarly, the volume of blood left in a ventricle at the end of contraction is endsystolic volume. The difference between end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volumes (ESV) represents the Stroke Volume. Stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from one ventricle of the heart with each beat Cardiac output (CO) is the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular by a left or right ventricle in the time interval of one minute. An average resting cardiac output would be 5.6 L/min for a human male and 4.9 L/min for a female Ejection Fraction (EF) is the fraction of the end-diastolic volume that is ejected with each beat; that is, it is stroke volume (SV) divided by end-diastolic volume (EDV). In a healthy 70-kilogram (150 lb) man, the SV is approximately 70 mL and the left ventricular EDV is 120 mL, giving an ejection fraction of 70⁄120, or 0.58 (58%). Healthy individuals typically have ejection fractions between 50% and 65% Sympathetic Group 1 Increased Heart Rate Increased Stroke Volume Vasoconstriction Increased Resistance Parasympathetic Group 2 Decreased Heart Rate Decreased Stroke Volume Vasodilation Decreased Resistance Sympathetic Dominant Rapid Heart Rate High Blood Pressure Parasympathetic Dominant Decreased Heart Rate Decreased Stroke Volume Low Blood Pressure Cataplex C Improves Oxygen Delivery to the tissues Improves connective tissue integrity Cardiotrophin PMG Removes the barriers to healing cardiac tissue Symptom • Infectious disease (Lowered resistance to bacterial invasion) • Adrenal insufficiency (Disturbance in potassium-sodium-chloride levels) • Inflammation (Gastritis, nephritis, etc.) • Healing Scurvy (Spongy, bleeding gums, hemorrhage, etc.) Possible Etiological Background Perhaps of all the vitamin factors Vitamin C is the most concerned with oxygenation mechanisms, and this, in turn may account for its protein protective function. The increase in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood when Vitamin C is supplied in deficiency states is evidence of this hypothesis. In addition, the natural Vitamin C complex contains the enzyme tyrosinase, a copper containing factor, copper being also active in formation of hemoglobin, an oxygenation factor of known activity. Vitamin C complex is known as “the prima donna vitamin” and this is understandable because it serves the widest variety of protective functions in the body and needs the least physiological explanation of its mechanism for clinical use. Vitamin C, therefore, apparently “blends” well with the varied metabolic reactions in the body and, as such, “side-effects” are practically unknown. At the same time, the possible rewards are very considerable-consider for example we have the often made statements that an infection can only become overwhelming in the face of severe Vitamin C deficiency. The adrenal glands are also rich storage depots for Vitamin C and in their hyperactivity this reserve is depleted. All of which leads us to conclude that Vitamin C complex plays an important role in the defensive mechanisms of the body, and, by the same line of reason, its need is increased when these defenses are at an expense, as for example, during fever, toxemia and acute infections. Vitamin C is a very misunderstood vitamin…The real vitamin C complex contains the vitamin P factors (bioflavonoids, rutin) which maintain vascular integrity. These are deficient in people who bruise easily or who have “pink toothbrush.” Their blood vessels break or rupture too easily and bleed. The P factors strengthen the vascular system. They make the vessels tougher and more durable. Vitamin K is another part of the C complex. It promotes prothrombin. That means it helps in coagulation…If you have plenty of vitamin K, it’s used in the formation of protein which is then transported to the injured tissue. Another factor in the C complex is vitamin J. The J factor is part of the C complex which increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. If you have a cold, you want to get oxygen to your tissues where it oxidizes the toxins and carries them off with carbon dioxide. The addition to these, the C complex contains enzymes… John Courtney Cardiotrophin PMG Product Bulletin Symptom Characteristics: Important relation to carbohydrate metabolism via ATP mechanisms, as well as muscle integrity per se must be considered. Effect: A tonic effect is usual in indicated cases. Its specific effect upon heart integrity must be determined by Endocardiograph readings or other diagnostic means. Symptom Possible Etiological Background Loss of Muscle Integrity Cardiotrophin apparently (Atrophy, weakness, tonus, assists the entire muscular prolapse, etc.) system by influencing the nutritional aspect of Carbohydrate Metabolism selective absorption range (Failure of muscle cells to of the muscle cell metabolize glucosemembrane. This selective glycogen) range includes glucose Cardiac Weakness uptake and is related to (Decompensation or failure the important energy due to lack of muscle tonus, mechanism (ATP). Exercise is nutrition to cell) the usual activator of this Sedentary Occupations system, being particularly (Predisposing heart failure) significant in the case of the Circulatory Problems (Due diabetic and potential to tonus of musculature of heart rate failure patient. arterial coats) As such, Cardiotrophin provides a valuable remedy for these patients, particularly where such activity would be inadvised or otherwise unobtainable. Clinical rationalization for use is suggested as follows: 1. As a potentiator of nutrition to the muscle cell, thus useful in muscular weakness, atrophy, etc. In this respect, myoneural junction disorder must also be considered. See ―Myoneural Junction Disorders‖ in Clinical Trophology. 2. As a nutritional factor favoring the geriatric patient, its tonic effect being most evident in these patients. 3. As a nutritional factor in increasing the energy metabolism of the muscle cell via the ATP mechanisms, apparently in same relation as exercises, which to the limits of tolerance is beneficial both to the diabetic and congestive heart failure patient. 4. Because of its effects in carbohydrate metabolism, as a possible factor in conditioning the hyperkalemia patient, a finding in Addison‘s Disease, which may also result in heart block. See notes under Side-Reactions for details. Cataplex E Promotes tissue repair rate Acts to increase cellular activity Increases tissue response to stress Acts as nerve relaxant. Cataplex E2 A specific Fraction of the E complex that promotes Cardiac Tissue perfusion Improves transmission at the myoneural junction Symptom Possible Etiological Background • • By promoting tissue repair rate, increases tissue response to stress requirements. • Intracellular metabolism, probably concerned with oxidative mechanisms. • Increase of cellular activity, probably influencing epithelial proliferation rate. Probably oxidative mechanisms. • • • Connective Tissue Disorders (Muscular weakness and atrophy, weakness of tendons, ligaments and fascia). Intracellular Effects (Reported beneficial in virus infections such as herpes simplex, herpes zoster, colds, and others). Skin Conditions (Oil dermatitis, eczema, acne and others) Neurological Involvements (Hyperirritability, neuromuscular disorders) • The following nutritional effects are to be considered: • Promotes tissue repair rate • Acts to increase cellular activity. • Increases tissue response to stress. • Acts as nerve relaxant. The non-specificity of symptoms of Vitamin E deficiency make it difficult to outline a clinical situation which fits these effects, however, it is believed that a much wider application of use exists than has been outlined. Indications: Tissue repair, Connective tissue disorders, pituitary imbalance, sex hormone imbalances, viral infections, cardiovascular needs and post-operative healing. Commentary: Promotes cell repair, anti-scarring, increases tissue resistance to stress, (supports skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons), specific support to cardiovascular system, source of manganese and selenium and aids in pituitary function. John Courtney: Our Vitamin E Complex product (Cataplex E) presents a situation similar to our other vitmains formulas. Dr. George Goodheart, for instance, who has developed this muscles testing technique, AK, frequently lectures to doctors, and he always calls one up and check him for vitamin E. He will say, “You’re deficient in vitamin E.” The doctor usually says, “That’s impossible. I take 800 units of vitamin E every day.” So George says, “Take one now.” So the doctor takes one and George tests him and there is no change. So he gives the doctor one of our two unit Cataplex E tablets and the doctor becomes stronger. This is what I mean by function. We are interested in making a product that has function, and we give it to the doctor no matter what it looks like on the label. Granted, they would not sell in health food stores because people try to read labels and they don’t understand them. Instead of reading the ingredients, they read how many units of something and that throws them off…So high potency vitamins are similar to drugs in their effect. They cause a masking of symptoms, which eventually creates additional problems. Dr. Lee used to say that using high potency vitamins was like whipping a tired horse; he would be stimulated to run faster but sooner or later he collapses because you never fed him. Sometimes doctors call us for help with patients with cramps. This could be cramps anywhere in the body – the legs, abdomen, heart, etc. They will say, “I’ve tried everything I could nutritionally, calcium, magnesium, etc. and the patient still has cramps.” Then we ask if the patient is taking high potency vitamin E. Many times they are, and the cramps developed after they started taking the high potency vitamin E. Then, of course, we suggest the doctor take the patient off the high potency vitamin E product. Our approach is to give the patient the specific food factors which he’s lacking, along with the associated factors, which make it work. In the case of angina, we would recommend Cataplex E2. It’s the part of the vitamin E complex, which preserves calcium in the tissues. A person with angina is usually deficient in this food factor, so he develops cramps in the muscles of his heart. Symptoms: • • • • • Angina Pectoris (Chest pain usually radiating down left Possible Etiological Background arm, brought on by exertion). Apparently the effect of Vitamin E2 is synergistic with Indigestion Symptoms (“Nervous” type associated Vitamin G Complex and Organic Minerals in promoting the acetylcholine reaction necessary for synapse at the with nervous tension and cramps or spasms). Hypertension (Where transitory elevations are brought myoneural junction, possibly participating by establishment of the integrity of the oxidative about by mental instability or environment). Cardiac Neurosis (Symptoms associated with the heart mechanisms, thus assisting in the maintenance of neural control. where primary “nervousness” is the problem). Neurological Integrity (As occurring in biliary stasis, colitis, diarrhea, asthma, insomnia, palsy, etc.). Symptom Characteristics: Spasticity, hyperirritability, and hypertonicity are the most characteristic findings. Cholinergic aspects of the autonomic system, myoneural junction disorders and neural control of gastrointestinal mechanisms (sphincters) are of particular importance. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS The following information should be considered: Vitamin E2, along with Vitamin G Complex, has proved to be clinically effective to angina pectoris. A wider application of use of Vitamin E2 will include certain types of stomach disorders where there is pain, but a specific diagnosis is lacking-so-called “pseudo-ulcers” or “nervous indigestion”. Vitamin E2 has the effect of relieving the tension and pain associated with this clinical problem. Vitamin E2 may be used in conjunction with any therapy where a tranquilizing effect is desired. Indications: Angina pectoris, muscle fatigue, tissue oxygen starvation, aerobic type exercise, high altitude discomfort. Commentary: Heart and muscle oxygen modulation. This product is a phospholipid, which enhances oxygen utilization by the body. John Courtney: This is a special fraction of the vitamin E complex. It is found in beef chromatin material, which is glandular substance extracted by means of a special process. It is not a patented process, but we don’t talk about it, so nobody else knows how to do it. It is quite complicated. But this is a food factor that will stop a heart cramp or a heart pain, usually within about ten minutes. Most cramps are due to calcium deficiency. However, tissue oxygen starvation is also a factor. Somehow, E2 gets oxygen into the area to relax the muscle. This can be used to relax any muscle cramp, but it’s especially effective to relax cramps in the muscles of the heart. Cardio-Plus, which is a multiple product, is part E2 as well. It contains Cataplex G, C and Cardiotrophin PMG. I mentioned that Cataplex G, being a vasodilator, would be good for a coronary patient. The Cataplex C increases oxygen carrying capacity of the blood stream while strengthening capillary walls. We added the Cardiotrophin PMG to rebuild the heart. So Cardio-Plus is for the patient who tends to have high blood pressure and heart cramps. Add E2 and G for the more acute situations, and Cardio-Plus for maintenance support. In his book, “Balancing Body Chemistry with Nutrition,” Dr Robert Peshek writes of E2, “Its antispasmodic action acts on angina pectoris much like nitroglycerin tablets.” The patient can keep the nitro, because E2 is preventive, precluding the need. Dr. Peshek states that angina is as specific a deficiency syndrome (E2) as scurvy (vitamin C). Dr Lee said that the E2 factor was the first vitamin destroyed in the commercial milling of flour. Cardiovascular CardioPlus (Contains 25mg of CoQ10) Cataplex G Cataplex E2 Cataplex C Cardiotrophin PMG Vasculin (Contains 25mg of CoQ10) Cataplex B Cataplex E Cataplex C Cardiotrophin PMG Cardio-Plus Product Bulletin Symptom Characteristics: The musculature, nervous system, coronary circulation or extrinsic factors such as hypertension, liver disease, etc. may be involved. While cardiac indications are looked upon as being most common indication, the extent of use should not be restricted to cardiac involvements as the entire neuromuscular structure is concerned. (NOTE: A product named “Myotrophin” which is the same as “Cardiotrophin” is supplied where the doctor may desire to avoid cardiac inference). GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS The Cardio-Plus formula, consisting of Vitamin E2, Vitamin G Complex and Cardiotrophin, is the result of very favorable clinical reports received from each of these as related nutritional factors. We may list its nutritional effects as follows: Enzymatic tranquilizing effect (cholinesterase precursors of Vitamin G Complex). Contributes to muscular tonicity (particularly cardiac muscle). Provides influential factors generally beneficial to muscle metabolism and as such contributes to utilization of potassium and sugar which are needed as “raw materials” for muscular activity. The protomorphogen effect of Cardiotrophin contained, acts to combat excess Natural Tissue Antibodies, and is thus helpful in most types of degenerative heart disease. Clinical rationalization for use is suggested as follows: In general, we may use Cardio-Plus wherever we find muscular problems as it acts as a potentiater of nutrition to the muscle cell. It imparts a tonic effect in most patients, particularly the geriatric groups. It increases the activity of muscle metabolism (ordinarily brought about through exercise) and thus has a beneficial effect in elevated blood sugar levels. NOTE: Most diabetics are similarly benefited by exercise. Indications: High blood pressure, congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, neuromuscular disorders, hypertension, muscle atonicity, coronary insufficiency. Combination of: Cataplex G Cataplex E2 Cardiotrophin PMG Cataplex C Commentary: Specific for cardiac support, it supports nerve and muscles and overall cardio-vascular maintenance. Great all natural source of CoEnzyme Q-10. This information would revolutionize cardio/vascular treatment if taught in medical schools (Product Bulletin and TFM). Of particular note is the Cataplex E2 (Phospholipid) component of their product, which conserves tissue oxygen. Used successfully to support the 1991 American Everest Expedition and the 1995 American Karakoram Expedition, with excellent reports from the Expedition medical doctor and Expedition leader, relating to hypoxic conditions. Vasculin Product Bulletin Symptom Characteristics: Indicated in a wide variety of conditions involving the muscular and vascular systems. Effect: A general increase in the feeling of well-being, acting as a tonic, is usually noted by the patient. Symptom Possible Etiological Background Congestive Heart Failure (Anoxia, Heart overload due orthopnea, reduced to deficiency of exercise tolerance, Vitamin C factors etc.) which influence the oxygen-carrying Blood Pressure capacity of the blood, Changes (Both hypoas well as participate and hypertension) in protein metabolism, Chronic Fatigue together with specific Muscular Weakness tissue determinant Capillary Fragility factors of heart muscle, cooperate in relieving nutritional states of deficiency. Side Effects: These are rare, the only possibility to our knowledge would be where the heart muscle extract may lower the blood sugar by its beneficial effects on muscle metabolism. Synergists: Activity Contributed: 1. Vitamin G Complex Enzyme Precursors (cholinesterase) 2. Vitamin B Complex Lactic Acid Oxygenation Influence 3. Vitamin E Complex Connective Tissue Integrity The nutritional effects may be listed as follows: • Supplies Vitamin C Complex factors for promoting tissue repair and increasing the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. b. Supplies specific heart tissue extract beneficial t muscles. Rationalization for clinical use is as follows: • Where heart muscle is unable to meet its demands, being fatigued in its performance, Vasculin is indicated. • General fatigue and muscular weakness, particularly if associated with cardiovascular breakdown, are indications for its need. Indications: Hypo tension (low blood pressure), arrhythmia, skipped heart beat, valve regurgitation, fatigue, aerobic type exercise Combination of: Cataplex B Cataplex E Cardiotrophin PMG Cataplex C Commentary: Improves tone of heart tissue and nerve motor conductivity of heart. Combines Cardiotrophin PMG with Cataplex B and E John Courtney: Vasculin is a cardiovascular support product for the patient with low blood pressure, auricular flutter, fibrillations, bundle branch block, etc. It is a multiple product containing Cardiotropin PMG, Cataplex C, E & B. The Cardiotrophin PMG helps rebuild the heart tissue, the E strengthens the muscles, and the B improves nerve conductivity. In a deficiency of the B4 factor, which is found in our Cataplex B, the nerves don’t function properly, causing problems such as bundle branch blocks and arrhythmia. Cardio-Plus, you remember, is for the cardiovascular patient with high blood pressure, the coronary type patient. Cardio-Plus contains Cataplex G, a vasodilator, to relax the patient. Like Vasculin, Cardio-Plus also contains Cardiotrophin PMG and Cataplex C and E. So Vasculin and Cardio-Plus are used for patients with opposite needs.

A waist circumference in women of more then 35 inches. Deposition of fat around the middle is more dangerous than fat around the hips and thighs. Visceral fat increases inflammation markers that lead to vascular disease. More than 50% of adults in the U.S. over age 60 are abdominally obese. Diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome: Dx of metabolic syndrome is when 3 of the following 5 criteria are met: o Abdominal obesity (men >40 in., women >35 in.) o Fasting glucose >110 to 126 o BP > 130/80 o Triglycerides >150 o HDL (men <40, women <50) The risk of having metabolic syndrome is closely linked to a high carbohydrate diet and a lack of physical activity. #58 Aware of Heavy Breathing #59 High Altitude Discomfort #60 Open Window in Closed Rooms #66 Shortness of Breath on Exertion I need air! or #57 Sign Frequently, Air Hunger #63 Gets Drowsy Often #62 Afternoon Yawner – (hypoglycemia also) #61 Susceptible to Colds and Fevers – Immune #65 Muscle Cramps, Worse During Exercise, Gets Charlie Horses – Tissue Oxygen Deficiency Correlate positive findings of these questions with those of Group 7E & 7F (hyper and hypo-adrenal) Always pay attention to your high priority groups first!

Drenamin Contains Cataplex C (48%) Cataplex G (27%) Drenatrophin PMG (25%) Symptoms: Possible Etiological Background: • • Insufficiency of adreno-sympathetic system. • • Resistance factor, disturbance in histamineadrenaline metabolism due to adrenal insufficiency. Adreno-Sympathetic reaction. • • Trophic relation with pancreas and liver. Histamine-adrenaline imbalance. • Elevated serum potassium, found in advanced hypoadrenia. Reaction indicating need of sodium to compensate for excess potassium. Probably concerned with defense and other mechanisms, the stress syndrome. • • • • • • • Nervous Complaint (Chronic fatigue, “nervousness”, tachycardia and other symptoms) Respiratory Disorders (Asthma, sinusitis, colds, pneumonia, coughs, etc.) Vaso-Motor Disturbances (Hypo/hyper-tension, circulatory symptoms) Blood Sugar Disturbances (Hypo-/hypertension) Allergic Reactions (Hives, dermatitis, sneezing attacks, frequent colds) Reactions to Potassium Foods (Molasses, veal, vegetable juices, olives, etc.) Abnormal Craving for Salt (Table salt) Lowered Resistance (Coughs, weakness residual effects of illness) Test: Need Shown By: a. b. c. d. Postural Blood Pressure Test Potassium Tolerance Test Observation Phonocardiograph • • Failure to show rise of systolic pressure on rising (standing position). Inability to tolerate potassium-rich foods (advanced states only). Weight loss, bronzing of skin. Fibrillation (with hypotension). Tachycardia (with hypertension). High second sounds over mitral area. The adrenal glands enter into a variety of physiological effects and are known to be concerned with the following mechanisms: a. Resistance d. Histamine-adrenalin regulation b. Detoxification e. Glucose-glycogen metabolism c. Mineralization f. Vaso-motor regulation (Sodium-Potassium-Chloride) The adrenal glands are particularly associated with the following types of diseases: a. Respiratory diseases b. Allergic reactions c. Inflammatory diseases d. Neuresthenic diseases (Particularly Rheumatoid Arthritis) e. (Neurocirculatory asthenia) Blood pressure aberrations The adrenals--“the stress glands”—have been shown to be the first of the endocrine axis to fail under various conditions of stress, such as burns, poisons and other toxic manifestations—as well as being susceptible to failure from protracted stress and strain of “ordinary” everyday activities. Conclusive evidence was offered by McCarrison to show that the adrenals were also the first to fail under the stress of malnutrition. Interestingly, our experience shows the adrenals to be the first to respond to nutritional therapy. NOTE: Management of the adrenal patient depends upon an understanding of the physiological mechanisms involved. See “Applied Physiology of the Adrenal Glands” (free on request) for complete discussion of the clinical aspects. # 64 Swollen Ankles, Worse at Night Look at question #166 swollen ankles, #69 Tendency to Anemia #71 Noises in Head or Ringing in Ears Look at questions in Digestive and question #125 Ringing in Ears under group 7B #56 Hands and Feet Go to Sleep Easily, Numbness Cataplex F Garlic Organically Bound Minerals Tuna Omega Calamari Omega Circuplex Cataplex ACP Cyruta Cyruta Plus Niacinamide B6 OPC Synergy Phosfood Wheat Germ Oil Protefood Cellular Vitality RNA AF Betafood Zypan Bilberry Globe Artichoke Horsechestnut Hawthorn o o o SPWest Nov/Dec Calendar of Events - Click HERE Seminars http://standardprocesswest.com/uploads/2013SEMI NARFLYER102913.pdf Teleconference o Montana Nutrition Collaboration – Every second Monday of the Month from 1-2pm MT – See Park County Chiropractic’s Website o Mentoring the Mentors – Dr. Stuart White – Every other Month on 4th Thursday 6-7pm MT Sympathetic/Parasympathetic Balance Using the Symptom Survey and Nutritional Exam Questions?
