Nutrition Collaboration
A collective of health practitioners
mentoring one another in topics related
to nutrition.
Who, When, Why
Anyone who wishes to join –
You select yourself
Second Monday each Month 1 - 2pm
To share and build understanding of
the common and uncommon
knowledge of the practice of nutrition in
the care and treatment of ourselves
and the patients under our care.
Rules
Share your knowledge with each other.
Competition and knowledge hording
only supports lost knowledge. This
group endeavors to share knowledge
and clinical experience to serve not
only ourselves, but all people.
It is asked that we as a group
consider:
“If you want to learn something
read about it. If you want to
understand something, write
about it. If you want to Master
something, teach it.”
Yogi Bhajan
What does this mean?
At some point we ask you to present a topic for
presentation to the group. This presentation
need only be 30-35 minutes in length with a
power point or notes available in Word for the
group. You should be able to do a Q&A with the
group to follow.
Everyone will be encouraged to participate in the
Q&A and it is asked that this become a
roundtable type Q&A.
If you chose not to present, that is your decision
and you will not be ousted from the group.
Please Help This Run Smoothly

a question or wish to add to the

Inflammation
The Cumulative Repair Deficit
What is Inflammation?
• Textbook Answer
– Inflammation: A basic
way in which the body
reacts to infection,
irritation or other
injury, the key features
being redness,
warmth, swelling and
pain. Inflammation is
now recognized as a
type of nonspecific
immune response.
• Patient Answer
– The process the body
undergoes to remove
and replace (heal)
damaged tissues,
isolate pathogens
(germs etc.) and
dispose of dead tissue
and debris associated
with the damage that
occurred.

“With prescription drugs Vioxx and Bextra already pulled from the market, a study has
raised disturbing questions about the heart safety of over-the-counter pain relievers such as
Advil, Motrin and Aleve.”
Those taking the “drugs for at least 6 months had twice the risk of dying of a heart
attack, stroke or other heart-related problem.”
The study was released at an American Association for Cancer Research conference in
Anaheim.
“The findings add to the suspicion that the heart risk extends beyond the so-called
COX-2 drugs – Bextra, Vioxx and Celebrex – to the larger family of medications known as
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, which include naproxen, ibuprofen and
virtually all other over-the-counter pain relievers.”
“’To the best of our knowledge, these are the first data to support putting a [black] box
warning on NSAIDs, not just COX-2s’ said Dr. Andrew Dannenberg, a Cornell University
scientist who helped do the study.”
“The NSAID users were dying at twice the rate of the others from heart related
problems.”
“Risk was highest among ibuprofen users who were nearly three times more likely to
die of cardiovascular disease than non NSAID users.”
Why doesn’t the medical
community get it?

#4 Core Physiologic Principal
Stressors
Tissue damage / cytokine release
Activation of the inflammatory cascade
Restorative functions unable to meet demand
Cumulative Repair Deficit - inflammation
Adrenal fatigue and hyper-reactivity
Reduced Immunologic mechanisms
Symptoms - Chronic infection/toxic burdens
Disease diagnosis – chronic progression
Address
inflammatory burdens
Food allergy reduction
Gut lining integrity – stop the leak
Reduced inflammation / immune burden
Medical Intervention – anti-inflammatory
Liberated repair / renewal mechanisms
Graceful aging

4 - Inflammatory status
• Cumulative Repair
Deficit – functional
definition
• Cytokine driven
inflammatory levels
drive the adrenals
• All inflammation is
perceived as a wild
animal trying to eat you
- fight or flight
• Cortisol increases,
adrenals fatigue

Inflammatory Burdens
• Trauma
• Pathogenic
• Environment
Environmental Burdens to
Consider
– Allergenic burden
– Toxicity
– Adrenal Fatigue
– EFA deficiencies/imbalances
– Standard American Diet?
Determining Food Allergy Burdens
• Most food allergies are delayed
sensitivity reactions – difficult to
objectively determine
• Elimination is the most accurate
and labor intensive - 2 week
elimination then reintroduce and
watch for 4 days for reactions
• Histaminic Reactions (rash, red
eyes, serous secretions) vs.
Immune Activity (fever, catarrhal,
lymphatic congestion, aching)
• Basic 4 allergies that most complicate healing process –
wheat (gluten), corn, soy, milk (casein) - Additionally
suspect chocolate, peanuts, tomatoes, beef
Food Allergies – Now & Later
Immediate response within
hours or next day
Delayed response onset 2-7
days later
Histaminic
Immunological – viral,
bacterial, parasitic
Red, burning eyes, serous
secretions (clear)
Colds & Flu – WBC mediated
response
Tiredness, sleepiness
Achiness
Headaches
Catarrhal, phlegm (colored)
Mood changes, irritability
Fever
Rashes, hives
Eczema
Nausea, cramps, diarrhea
Emesis
Loss mental acuity
Elevated C-reactive protein,
SED rate, AA:EA ratio
Determining Toxicity
Fatty Acid Imbalance or Deficiency
Standard American Diet
In the US, we allow over
10,000 chemical additives in
our food supply.
The average American
consumes:
•
14 lbs of additives per
year.
•
160 pounds of sugar.
•
8 pounds of salt.

Addressing Inflammatory
Burdens
Trauma
– Acute - appropriate triage & tissue repair nutrients like Ligaplex I or II,
Cyruta plus (rutin), Zymex II or Multizyme (proteolytic enzymes) taken
b/w meals. Pain management with Saligesic, Boswellia complex,
California Poppy.
– Chronic – address mechanical causes (subluxation, etc), support tissue
as per above and investigate the environment.
• Pathogenic
– Infection (Calcium Lactate, Thymex, SSO, Congaplex, Epimune
complex, Andrographis complex, Echinacea Premium, Euphrasia
complex, etc.)
– Infestation (Wormwood, Gut Flora Complex, Zymex II)
• Environment
– Allergenic burden / Gut repair– Allergen testing/removal, Cataplex
AC, Enzycore
– Toxicity - SP Purification, Spanish Black Radish, Chlorophyll Perles,
– Adrenal Fatigue – Drenamin, Rehmannia, Rhodiola Ginseng, Withania,
Eleutherococcus, etc.
– EFA deficiencies/imbalances – Tuna Omega, Calamari Omega 3
Liquid, Black Currant Seed Oil, Linum B6,

I & 2 Diets)
