Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods.

Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods.

Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It was discovered by accident in 1965 when James Schlatter, a chemist of G.D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug.

Aspartame was approved for dry goods in 1981 and for carbonated beverages in 1983. It was originally approved for dry goods on July 26, 1974, but objections filed by neuroscience researcher Dr John W. Olney and Consumer attorney James Turner in August 1974 as well as investigations of G.D. Searle's research practices caused the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to put approval of aspartame on hold (December 5, 1974). In 1985, Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle and made Searle Pharmaceuticals and The NutraSweet Company separate subsidiaries.

Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death. A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.

According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame: Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.

Aspartame is made up of three chemicals: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. The book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspartame under the category of "chemical poison." As you shall see, that is exactly what it is.

Webinar on Artificial Sweeteners!
Tuesday, April 19, 2011, 7 - 8PM ET

More and more brands marketing “health food” are hiding chemically-manufactured, artificial sweeteners in their products to appease the North American sweet tooth…and sales of diet drinks are larger than ever before!  Unfortunately, the dangers of artificial sweeteners and diet drinks, though well-known, are largely hidden from the public.

Splenda?  Aspartame?  Sucralose?  Equal?

Here are the not-so-sweet realities:

• Diet sodas are more hazardous to your health than “regular” sodas.
• Artificial sweeteners break down into toxic chemicals and have been linked to countless diseases – including cancer.
• Diet drinks can leave you unsatisfied and hungry – giving you more cravings than true sugar!

Join our Webinar to learn:

• How Aspartame was controversially approved by the FDA in the 1980’s.
• The deceptive tactics used by Splenda to market its product as a natural derivative of sugar.
• The Maximized Living alternatives to sugar and sweeteners.

If you know anyone who consumes diet drinks or artificial sweeteners, they can't afford to miss this Webinar.

Why Carbs Are Important to Fuel our Brains

There has been so much literature on the news and in the papers about carbohydrates. Some say they are bad, some say they are good, but all they are really doing is confusing us all. What is the truth about carbs and how does it affect the brain?

 

Have you ever felt sluggish, foggy-headed, confused or irritable? All of these conditions can be attributed to a brain that doesn’t have enough power to work well. Brain power is not just important to do school work or your job, but also to help your body to function as it should. After all, the brain controls much of the functioning of the human body.

 

So, here are a few facts to digest. The body uses carbohydrates for fuel. The brain needs a lot of fuel. Actually, it needs about twice as much energy as the rest of your body. That energy comes from carbs being used to maintain certain levels of glucose in the blood. It is the glucose that is used by the body as fuel.

 

So, where do these carbs come from? They come from food sources. You get carbs from whole grains, a variety of vegetables and anything made from grains.

 

You can get carbs from a candy bar and also from a plate of leafy green vegetables, but they won't necessarily function the same way in the body. Simple carbs are like the sugars found in sweet snacks. These carbs are rapidly absorbed by the body which leads to a spike in your blood sugar.

 

We’ve all experienced such a spike. For about an hour you feel like the Bionic Man but afterwards, you are moving slower than a turtle. To get more energy you eat more sweets and then the cycle begins again.

 

When you get your carbs from healthier food sources like green vegetables and whole grains, you are eating complex carbohydrates. This includes your whole grains, vegetables and fruits. These carbohydrates are broken down over time, keeping your glucose levels steady so the body gets a constant supply of energy throughout the day.

 

The way to break that cycle is by eating the right types of carbohydrates. Oh, yes, there are right and not-so-right types of carbs. One way that you can tell the difference is by the glycemic index. This measures the ability of a carbohydrate to affect the blood sugar. Carbs that are low on the glycemic index are complex carbs. Those that are higher are simple carbs that will cause major shifts in the blood sugar levels and your energy.

 

Many fad diets advocate high carb or low carb consumption. The fact of the matter is that if you don’t eat enough carbs in your daily diet, your body your body will start using muscle to create glucose and depleting the liver of its glycogen (broken down into glucose).

 

When the brain is deprived, you may feel lack of co-ordination, dizzy, tired and not in a good mood. Eat your carbohydrates every day, just make sure they are the best kind to keep your brain sharp as cheddar and the body is tiptop shape.  

 

Remember it all about balance. Your body is always trying to remain in balance.

What does brown grass and green grass need? WATER!

The BROWN grass needs it to restore and grow back to its normal and healthy state. The GREEN grass needs it to stay strong, green and healthy. If you don't keep the water getting to the grass, its only choice is to respond to the lack of water by shutting down and going dead. This is a process and does not happen over night but it is a natural process that must take place because of the natural laws of life. It's the natural laws of supply and demand.

I love that it is a natural law of life because if I live in alignment with this law and I do my part in watering the grass I have every reason to expect a green lawn.

When you live with the natural laws of life you get health and healing. When you make choices that are out of alignment with the natural laws of life the consequences are sickness, disease and early death. God cannot make grass green with out water, He won't break His own natural laws that He created to keep order on this planet.

God needs no help running your life and body. He just can't have you and I interfering with it. He put an amazing power in our bodies and it's job is to feed power and life to every cell, organ, muscle and emotion in our body. Give your body 100% supply of power and it knows how to keep you strong and healthy for life. Neglect it and stop following the 5 essentials of Maximized Living, and just like shutting the water down to the grass, you are shutting down the power to every part of YOU.

HOW "THE HOLIDAYS" CAN KNOCK 25 YEARS OFF YOUR LIFE

   Once a large truck was driving through one of the busiest tunnels in New York City.  The truck was so large, in fact, that it got stuck in the tunnel and could not back up or move forward.  Traffic eventually got backed up for miles and miles.  Dozens of traffic, accident, bridge, road, and truck experts were on the scene for hours trying to figure out what to do.  Just as the situation and the frustration of the experts was beginning to get out of hand, a 10 year old little girl poked her head out of the window and said, "Why don't you just let the air out of the tires."  The dilemma was resolved. 

    THEME:  When life and the world aren't working out, re-assess everything!

 

     Even though Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years make up a total of 3 days, most people just call November and December "The Holidays."  And since it's "The Holidays," you can be irresponsible and careless.  You eat can mass quantities, put all sorts of horrible "Holiday" items into your body, exercise less or not at all, miss adjustments, spend too much, and put important things off because after all, it's "The Holidays."  In total, you end up with a 6-10 week reign of terror on your life and body.

     If you add to these two months all of the other times you tend to abuse your health like; parties, anniversaries, other "holidays," birthdays, weddings, weekends, secretaries day, etc., etc. you are basically being irresponsible for your health and many other areas of your life conservatively 3 months out of every year.  (25% of every year)

     By the time you are 40 years old, you will have spent 10 years doing serious, possibly irreparable damage to your body and possibly your whole life.  This is another reason why people are supposed to live to 100, but only make 75. (25% off)

    "The Holidays," are a time designated to celebrate the many joys of life and appreciate God's blessings.  However, they have become a time dedicated to shortening life and falling short of your God-given potential.  Clearly, it is time to look at "The Holidays" from a new perspective.

     Of the tens of thousands of sick and suffering people I have met, examined, and consulted, not once have I heard one of them say, "I wish I had done less for my health all of these years." 

     What they do say, in every case, is "I wish I had met you ____ years ago."

     WELL, you have met me, please take advantage of it.

 

   There is a famous Italian saying:  Sono divencete veccio Troppo presto, ma Furbo troppo tardi'        that means, "I got old too soon and smart too late."

 

Enjoy the Holidays (3, max 5 days).  Keep your family alive in the process

DUE TO THE EXTREME MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND CHEMICAL STRESS BROUGHT ON BY "THE HOLIDAYS," PLEASE ADD, DON'T SUBTRACT FROM YOUR CURRENT ADJUSTMENT AND HOME SPINAL REHAB SCHEDULE.

 

Happy Holiday to you and yours From the Team ALC.

Top Ten Power Packed Foods by Dr. Troy

Top Ten Power Packed Foods by Dr. Troy M. Dreiling

What is the secret to a long and healthy life?  It is in the food that we eat.  As you well know, all foods are not created equal.  Choosing and eating the right foods may help increase your life expectancy as well as the quality of your life.

Here are ten of the top power packed foods designed to give you energy, vitality and all around good health!

1. Beans – If they give you gas, take precautions before you eat them.  Soaking them first can help.  Beans of all kinds (kidney, navy, lentils, chickpeas, Northern) are high in protein.  This is plant protein so it contains very little fat, carbs and calories.  If fiber is a problem in your diet, eating a healthy portion of beans each day can keep your digestive system healthy.

2. Oatmeal – Oatmeal is coming into popularity as a food that lowers blood cholesterol.  You can make it yourself with rolled oats or eat the instant kind if you are in a hurry.  Oatmeal is a filling grain that also provides much needed fiber to keep hunger at bay and your blood sugar constant. I LOVE steel cuts oats.

3. Fruits – Fruits are filled with antioxidants such as Vitamin C and A.  Antioxidants fight free radical damage in the body and reduce the risk of cancer.  Berries such as blueberries and grapes have the highest amount of antioxidants.  But choose an array of fruits in a wide variety of colors for maximum health.  The antioxidants in fruit boost the immune system to fight the effects of aging in the body.

4. Allium foods – This class of foods includes garlic, onions, leeks and shallots.  Garlic is known for lowering cholesterol.  Allium vegetables healp guard the body against the risk of cancer and many other ailments.  They also help lower blood pressure and prevent blood clots.  Eating these power packed vegetables in their natural state especially garlic increases their health benefits. 

5. Salmon – Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids reduces the risk of heart disease and other conditions like atherosclerosis.  Wild salmon is a fatty fish but it contains good fats that has been proven to improve health in children and adults.  Salmon is rich in protein which is of great use after an exercise session to build muscle tissue.

6. Flax seed – Like salmon it contains omega-3 fatty acids.  These seeds also contain omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids.  You get a lot of power to fight high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes with this seed.  Ground flax seed can be added to fruit smoothies, sprinkled in yogurt, eaten with cereal or added to pancake mix to name a few.

7. Peppers – Peppers are colorful.  They contain antioxidants like beta-carotene and Vitamin C.  Peppers range from mild and sweet to so hot you’ll be calling the fire department.  All peppers contain a substance called capsaicin.  Capsaicin has the properties of an anti-inflammatory, a pain reliever, lowers cancer risk and heart disease.  They are good in salads, salsa and all sorts of dishes.

8. Nuts and seeds – Nuts are high in fat but those fats are the good kind.  Peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts and pistachios are all providers of good fats and protein.  Crush them into a fine powder and use as a coating instead of higher carb bread crumbs.  Nuts help to lower cholesterol.  Eat them right out of the shell with no additives.

9. Açai – This berry has been in the news lately.  It is rich in antioxidants and increases energy.  You can get more done and look better while doing it.  You can get Acai juice and supplements in your health food store.

10. Yogurt – The fat free variety is good for you.  Yogurt contains calcium, Vitamin B, and protein.  If you don’t drink milk, yogurt is an alternative to get your calcium in to build strong bones and teeth.  Live yogurt also contains friendly bacteria to help promote a healthy digestive system. RAW is best if you must. Make your own with fresh berries. No premixes too much sugar.

Building a better healthier body begins with what you eat.  Try these super foods to get started on the right foot.  www.absolutelife.com

Are you toxic?….Yes you are…..

Are you toxic?….Yes you are…..
We just held our best makeover ever. Those of you that were there saw an amazing line up of healers dedicated to making the world a better place. We started our day with two world class athletes at a wrestling clinic at Heritage High School right here in Vancouver, Washington. Coach Mac was incredible from Heritage and his track record of training and coaching Olympians is awesome. I was in AWWWW, just watching Mr. Lee Kemp, 3 time world champion, and hearing his life story was breathtaking. It was an unbelievable honor to spend the day with him. Ms. Leigh Jaynes, who is training relentlessly for the 2012 Olympic team, was a refreshing spirit. She is the true American Hero and what a great person. I know she will take Gold in 2012 in London please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.  (Makeover PICTURES)

Many of you left going WOW where do I start or what do I do? My first goal of the makeover was to get you aware that the current health model is not working. I am currently reading Dr. Weston Price’s book “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.” An Eye opening story of the decline of human health and well being. After this weekend, it is even clearer to me that most people have no clue on what to do to get well and to stay well. 95% of all heath care dollars are spent on treating sickness and diseases. Only 5% is spent on health. That needs to change. Currently the average American spends approximately 5% on the promotion of health and wellness. This must change and is the entire focus of what we do and all the Maximized Living doctors’ main goal is to get you WELL and Keep you there for the REST of your life, not just when you have a health crisis or challenge.

I was watching CNN the other day at the gym on the treadmill and they were showing what the average American spends on health insurance each year. I was blow-away to find that it was over $15,000 per year and with the “New Proposed” plan in 2016 it will be in excess of 25,000.00. Many people are forced to get health insurance by an employer as a “benefit” but have to use the companies program. One of my patients said he is paying over $1,500 per month on a health insurance policy that he and his family rarely uses and he can’t get out of it unless he leaves his job. Paul Zan Pilsner wrote a book about what to do with insurance and I highly suggest you read it and apply the principals to your health and life.

Current trends show 30% of American obese and 60% overweight, what are we to do? With kids being sicker than ever and parents stressed more than ever, where do we start? Reducing the chemical stress burdens on your body is a great place to start. Anderson Cooper recently posted a video called, “Toxic Brew”. It is all about the chemical burdens being put on our bodies daily. You will get a glimpse of how all the “unregulated” and regulated chemicals are degenerating us at an alarming rate.

During the Maximized Living Makeover at the Vancouver, Washington Church of Christ I talked about the toxic top 10. I posted on my face book page, “Who wants to know about the toxic top ten?” Many people replied, “YES”, so here it is.

Toxic Top 10

1.    Dishwashing Detergent (Chlorine and Fluoride + PetroChem, Benzene, and Phosphates).

2.    Oven Cleaner (Lye and Ammonia).

3.    Laundry Detergent (Benzene – Causes Leukemia).

4.    Floor and Furniture Polishers (Petroleum Distillates).

5.    Air Fresheners (6 – Chemicals targeted by Gov. that hold the highest priority for neurtoxicity).

6.    Hard-surface Cleaners - especially kitchen cleaners (Petroleum Surfactants – Cancer).

7.    Antibacterial Cleaners and Soaps (Triclosan – Liver Damage).

8.    Dry Cleaning (Perc. Known Carcinogen).

9.    Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners (Perc.).

10.    Toilet Bowl Cleaners (Hydrochloric Acid – Liver and Kidney Damage).

Warning - Swine Flu H1N1 Vaccine Is Not Safe

Check out the food matters post: HERE 

As in continue to search the web and research the both sides of this dialog. I keep being drawn to these articles that make you question, "Who is in charge of making YOUR health care choices." The answer always comes back..... YOU ARE>>>>>>  Dr. Troy Dreilin

following article By Dr Joseph Mercola, MD

This year it is more important that you protect your children and loved ones from the flu vaccines than influenza itself. In his article published on LewRockwell.com, Bill Sardi details 18 reasons why you should not vaccinate your children against the flu this season. Here are nine of them:

• The swine flu is simply another flu. It is not unusually deadly.
• This is the first time both seasonal and pandemic flu vaccines will be administered. Both seasonal flu and swine flu vaccines will require two inoculations. This is because single inoculations have failed to produce sufficient antibodies. This is an admission that prior flu vaccines were virtually useless. Can you trust them this time?
• Adjuvants are added to vaccines to boost production of antibodies but may trigger autoimmune reactions. Some adjuvants are mercury (thimerosal), aluminum and squalene. Why would you sign a consent form for your children to be injected with mercury, which is even more brain-toxic than lead?
• This is the first year mock vaccines have been used to gain FDA approval. The vaccines that have been tested are not the same vaccines your children will be given.
• Over-vaccination is a common practice now in America. American children are subjected to 29 vaccines by the age of two. Meanwhile, veterinarians have backed off of repeat vaccination in dogs because of observed side effects.
• Modern medicine has no explanation for autism, despite its continued rise in prevalence. Yet autism is not reported among Amish children who go unvaccinated.
• Researchers are warning that over-use of the flu vaccine and anti-flu drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can apply genetic pressure on flu viruses and then they are more likely to mutate into a more deadly strain.
• Most seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus strains tested from the United States and other countries are now resistant to Tamiflu (oseltamivir). Tamiflu has become a nearly worthless drug against seasonal flu.
• Public health officials are irresponsible in their omission of any ways to strengthen immunity against the flu. No options outside of problematic vaccines and anti-flu drugs are offered, despite the fact there is strong evidence that vitamins C and D activate the immune system and the trace mineral selenium prevents the worst form of the disease.
