5 Main Graph Issues (Imbalances)

• Low Stomach Acid (B1: 84)

Sample #1 - Meal Log

Diet Summary

• Water: Insufficient intake spaced throughout the day. Recommend maximum 1/2 cup (120 ml) every 20 minutes for optimal absorption; excess is discarded quickly.
• Fresh Fruit and Vegetables/Active Enzymes: Minimal consumption. Suggest frozen fruits/vegetables in smoothies with small amounts of water for viscosity. Fresh is ideal, but frozen is practical for busy schedules.
• Nutrient-Dense Foods: Insufficient. Examples: Green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, collards), nuts (almonds, walnuts), fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines), fruits (strawberries, blueberries, cherries, oranges).
• Fiber: Insufficient soluble and insoluble fiber.
• EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids): Almost none; butter is inadequate—increase sources and quality.
• Protein: Often from processed meats laden with preservatives (nitrates, nitrites).
• Probiotics: None—need to increase via diet and supplementation.
• Whole Grains: Reduce, along with refined breads, as they weren't prevalent in ancestral diets for many ethnicities.
• Legumes: None—add for nutrients and fiber.
• Processed Food: Prefer freshly pressure-cooked beans over canned to avoid "tin smell" and boost nutrient density.
• Refined Grains: Subway/restaurant breads, pancake mixes, and boxed cereals are highly refined, contain gluten, preservatives—avoid; often misleading as "health food."
• Dairy: Butter, cheese—reduce/eliminate due to high intestinal parasite score and other indicators; eliminate or lessen in coffee.
• Beverages: Coffee is irritating/toxic—eliminate. Lessen sweetened beverages; increasing essential compounds will reduce cravings.

Summary of Analysis/Contributing Factors

Main Client Concerns:

Table Of Contents

• Erectile dysfunction
• Diabetes
• Muscle/skeletal pains

All Causes and Effects Relevant to the Client:

• Low Stomach Acid (B1: 84): Underactive stomach lacks sufficient HCl and enzymes for digestion. Symptoms mimic overactive stomach, leading to misused antacids.
  • Causes: High meat/dairy, refined/processed/fast foods, chlorinated/carbonated/ice-cold drinks, poor food combining, large meals, low salt, dehydration, antacids, coffee/nicotine.
  • Effects: Poor mineral absorption (calcium, magnesium, etc.), low B12, bowel toxicity.
• Manganese Deficiency (D5: 80): Catalyst for enzymes, fatty acid/cholesterol synthesis, protein digestion, glucose regulation, thyroid activity, bone formation, SOD antioxidant.
  • Causes: Dietary/genetic deficiency; interference from excess calcium/phosphorus (milk, meat, carbonated drinks), magnesium (antacids), iron, zinc, cobalt, soy; manganese interferes with copper.
  • Effects: Athletic injuries, strained knees/elbows, decreased glucose tolerance, weak/hypermobile joints ("clicking"), eventual stiff/achy joints from calcium buildup.
• Sulfur Deficiency (D7: 98): Essential for glutathione (antioxidant) production. Found in turkey, beef, eggs, fish, chicken, nuts, seeds, grains, legumes, allium/cruciferous vegetables, whole grains, leafy greens.
  • Causes: High toxicity increasing antioxidant needs, reduced liver function.
  • Effects: Dry skin/hair, brittle nails, slow wound healing, joint pain/swelling/tenderness.
• Vitamin E Deficiency (F3: 100): Antioxidant (with A, C, selenium); fertility vitamin for sex hormones; potential heart protection. Fat-soluble, requires pancreatic secretions/bile.
  • Causes: Pancreas problems, diabetes, nerve/muscle damage, fat malabsorption (Celiac, Cystic Fibrosis), underactive liver/gallbladder.
  • Effects: Reproductive damage, premature aging, anemia, heart disease, muscular weakness/swelling/wasting, poor coordination, eye movements, brittle hair, blood clots, fat malabsorption; female: menstrual discomfort; male: low sex drive, impotence.
• Underactive Thyroid (J6: 86): Thyroid produces hormones; ovaries make T2 (fails if low); white blood cells in bone also produce. Increasing globally due to free radicals/radiation.
  • Causes: Iodine/selenium deficiency, mercury displacement, endocrine linkages (adrenals, gonads, pancreas, pituitary), Reverse T3 (body slows metabolism to counter intracellular pollution like heavy metals/organics/infections).
  • Effects: Motion sickness, morning dizziness, cold extremities/sensitivity, preference for warm climates, dry/brittle hair, hair loss (outer eyebrows), flaky skin, sleep disturbances, poor memory, poor exercise response, hypoglycemia, high cholesterol, constipation, emotional fragility.

Session 1 Protocols

Diet Recommendations:

• Adopt anti-inflammation diet: High in antioxidants, monounsaturated fats, omega-3s; low in sugar to control blood sugar.
• Avoid high glycemic index/load foods (use tools like https://www.medindia.net/patients/calculators/glycemic-index.asp and https://www.mdapp.co/glycemic-load-calculator-581/).
• Probiotic: HMF 500, 1x/day ~1 hour before bed.
• Water: ~3.3 liters/day based on height/weight/activity/climate; add sodium/Stevia for palatability; max 120 ml every 20-30 minutes.
• Meal Spacing: 4-5 hours between major meals; snacks: unrefined foods with minimal water.

Water Intake Guidelines:

• Sip max 120 ml (1/2 cup) every 15 minutes.
• Ideal: Body weight (lbs) / 2 = ounces/day (e.g., 150 lbs → 75 oz → ~9 glasses).
• Sources: Herbal/caffeine-free teas, filtered water, diluted unsweetened juice.

Avoidances:

• Milk/products: Gas, bloating, irritates digestion, allergen.
• Soft drinks: Gas, bloating, IBS trigger; aspartame health risks. Use seltzer/SodaStream sparingly; prefer filtered water in glass.
• Refined flour: Decreases motility, inflammatory; key IBS factor.
• Fried foods: Mucus-forming, immune-taxing, free radicals, acrylamide.
• Alcohol: Irritates digestion, aggravates IBS, diuretic.

Foods to Avoid:

• Junk foods, high-fat meats, sugar, processed foods; trans/saturated fats (processed foods, red/processed meats like bacon/sausage); refined white flours (bread/pasta); added sugars (sodas, pastries, candy, desserts, pre-sweetened cereals).

Substitutions:

• Pastries/commercial cereals → Whole grain breads (lessen until gut improves), Red River cereal, oatmeal.
• Coffee/tea/soft drinks → Caffeine-free herbal teas, green tea, water; try Yerba Mate or chicory root.
• Fried foods → Poached, boiled, baked, steamed.
• Milk/products → Almond, rice, coconut, soy milk.
• Multi-grain/wheat breads → Chickpea flour; use bread machine for alternative flours (chickpea, tapioca); avoid wheat, especially with diabetes.

Lifestyle Recommendations:

This is the confusing propaganda that misleads us all

There's no such thing as a "balanced diet" & nutrition isn't merely food. Why is that? It's because we're all individuals. Orthomolecular nutrition is the individualized analysis application of the substances within the food which our bodies often do not obtain enough of and are often blocked by antagonists.

• Basal Body Temperature Test (BTT): Underarm temperature first thing in morning (hold 10 min). Record 5-8 days. Normal: 36.6-36.8°C (97.8-98.2°F). Below indicates low thyroid. (Menstruating women: Start day 2-3 of cycle.)
• Sleep: Earlier bedtime aligning with sunset.
• Exercise: Walk 15 min 3-5x/week with arm swings; look above horizon/distant objects; eye rotations (clockwise/counter-clockwise).
• Try "4-minute workout": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRDGlIJTVt8.
• Essential Oils: Bath/diffuser: Chamomile, bergamot, sandalwood, lavender for relaxation.
• Epsom Salt Foot Baths: 2 cups in 10 liters water for relaxation/cleansing.
• Cooking Methods: Stainless steel pressure cooker (non-electronic used or new electronic) for nutrient-preserving meals.
• Weekly Food Prep: Freeze in zip-tie bags for compliance, reducing refined food reliance.
• Cell Phone Substitution: Use desktop/laptop 1+ foot away to reduce microwave exposure and poor posture.
