•Helpful for patients ith constipation•Helpful for patients with constipation

•Essential for patients who have had cholecystectomy

•Takes the stress off of biliary system



Bowel Function & Frequency

• Men with less than 1 bowel movement each day had a 2.7-fold excess risk of Parkinson’s versus men with 1 bowel movement each day. This risk increased to a 4.1-fold excess when compared with men with 2 bowel movement each day and to a 4.5-fold excess versus men with over 2 per day. (Abbott, 2001) Medically, in the US population the clinical definition of constipation is fewer than 3 bowel movements each week. It is obvious from this study that a long, healthy life is only likely with y g, y y y3 bowel movements each day. There is, as usual, quite a range between a clinical diagnosis of constipation in our society and the naturopathic, or wellness model of health

Enteric Nervous System• Deep in the gut lies a complex, self-contained nervous system of

more nerve cells than the spinal cord; indeed more neurons than all the rest of the peripheral nervous system There are over 100 millionthe rest of the peripheral nervous system. There are over 100 million (billion?) nerve cells in the human small intestine alone. (Gershon)

• The missing link was proposed by Dr. Gershon in 1965 but it still didn’t fit the accepted model. This evidence showed that serotonin was produced in the gut but conventional wisdom placed serotonin, exclusively, within the brain. (Gershon)

• The controversy was not settled for several more decades, until a meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in 1981, when skeptics were finally unable to question that serotonin was indeed a key transmitter in the gut It is now known that 95% of the body’stransmitter in the gut. It is now known that 95% of the body s serotonin is used by the gut – and the enteric nervous system contains every neurotransmitter and neuromodulator found so far in the brain



Total Fiber• Supportive Function: Fiber slows gastric

emptying and is helpful for blood sugar regulation and healthyregulation and healthy cholesterol/triglyceride levels.

• Fiber is important in weight balance. Fiber binds estrogen for removal and many female complaints are due to estrogen dominance All colon conditions can bedominance. All colon conditions can be addressed with fiber.

Toxins: CNS & The Enteric N S

• The similarities between the two nervous systems may also mean that they are vulnerable to similar toxins and ydisease processes. (At least 500 different species of deadly bacteria have been found to inhabit a person's colon at any given time.) For example, in both Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer's, the degenerative processes seen in brain nerve cells are also seen in the neurons of the enteric system. Furthermore, Parkinson’s (and Alzheimer’s) diseases also affect nerve cells in the ( )gut and since biopsies are easier to obtain from the gut than the brain, the bowel may hold the key to improved diagnosis and eventual cures for these diseases. (Gershon)

Gluten Sensitivities

• Dr. Maios Hadjivassiliou of the United Kingdom, a recognized world authority on gluten g y gsensitivity, has reported in the journal, The Lancet, that "gluten sensitivity can be primarily and at times, exclusively a neurological disease." That is, people can manifest gluten sensitivity by having issues with brain function without any gastrointestinal problems whatsoever Dr Hadjivassiliou indicates that thewhatsoever. Dr. Hadjivassiliou indicates that the antibodies that a person has when they are gluten sensitive can be directly and uniquely toxic to the brain.



Gluten Sensitivity continued

• Since his original investigations in 1996, the recognition that gluten sensitivity can lead to disorders of brain f ti h l d t i t l l i f i tififunction has led to a virtual explosion of scientific papers describing this relationship. Researchers in Israel have noted neurological problems in 51 percent of children with gluten sensitivity and further, describe a link between gluten sensitivity and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). As authors in a recent issue of the journal, Pediatrics, stated in their research, "This study suggests that the variability of neurologic disorders that occur in celiac disease is broader than previously reported and includes softer and more common neurologic disorders including chronic headache, developmental delay, hypotonia and learning disorders or ADHD."

David Perlmutter MD

• Gluten sensitivity is caused by elevated levels of antibodies against a component of gluten, gliadin. This

tib d ( ti li di tib d ) bi ith li diantibody (anti-gliadin antibody) combines with gliadin when a person is exposed to any gluten containing food like wheat, barley or rye.

• When the antibody combines with this protein, specific genes are turned on in a special type of immune cell in the body.

• When these genes are turned on, inflammatory chemicals are created called cytokines which arechemicals are created called cytokines, which are directly detrimental to brain function.

• In fact, elevated cytokines are seen in such devastating conditions as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and even autism.

Why is LASER added to Nutrition?• A single antigen, hormone, pheromone,

growth factor, smell or taste or neurotransmitter molecule or a singleneurotransmitter molecule, or a single photon of electromagnetic energy, can produce a cascade of intra cellular signals that initiate, accelerate, or inhibit biological processes.

• Arndt-Schulz law: weak stimuli excite• Arndt-Schulz law: weak stimuli excite physiologic activity, strong stimuli retard it.

• Thus we use LLL or Low Level Laser
