Through the constant parade of vitamins and minerals marketed to us every day, choosing the ones that really matter can be kind of like picking a needle out of haystack. So instead of taking daily supplements, we hope that our healthy diets will take care of our immune system. While a healthy diet is extremely beneficial to our bodies, vitamin D supplements may offer an extra boost of protection against disease. An increasing amount of the population is being diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency. But simply taking a supplement and getting a bit more sun exposure may be the answer to better health.

Where it’s found

Vitamin D is naturally synthesized in the body when our skin is exposed to sunlight. Most experts say that 10 – 20 minutes of sunlight exposure a day is enough to prevent vitamin D deficiency. It’s also found in fish, eggs, cod liver oil and fortified milk. There are two kinds of the vitamin that are important in humans. Vitamin D2 is synthesized by plants and vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans when exposed to ultraviolet-B rays.

How it helps the body

Vitamin D is mostly used to aid in the absorption of calcium within the body to maintain strong bones and maintain normal levels of phosphorus. However, research has recently implicated that the vitamin may also provide protection against autoimmune diseases, cancer and hypertension. According to the Mayo Clinic, Vitamin D may help regulate cellular growth and possibly prevent cells from turning cancerous. Taking a supplement may also help with autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. In one study, women who took at least 400 IU of vitamin D per day were 40 percent less likely to develop MS.

In one study at Creighton University, researchers discovered a 60 to 77 percent decrease in cancer rates among postmenopausal women, and a study at the University of California-San Diego found that a daily intake of 2,000 IU of Vitamin D and 10 to 15 minutes in sunlight reduced the chance of colorectal cancer by nearly 66 percent.

Supplements along with colon hydrotherapy

Getting an ample amount of vitamin D along with other therapies – like colon hydrotherapy – can really create major health benefits. The colon plays a major part in the health of the body. Old bacteria that build up inside the colon can be absorbed through the walls of the colon and cause toxicity and infection. Cleansing the colon regularly along with at least 10 – 20 minutes of sun exposure a day may prevent many illnesses.

Made from the juice of young green coconuts, coconut water kefir offers a high probiotic boost and several other benefits to the body. Coconut water on its own provides the body with a wide array of minerals, but it is too sweet for the body, causing acidity and promoting the growth of pathogens and other cancers. Fortunately, Body Ecology’s Coconut Water Kefir Starter Kit mellows the acidity, promotes the growth of microflora and converts sugars into probiotics that are beneficial to the body.

At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica, we believe the best way to drink coconut water is Body Ecology’s Coconut Water Kefir Starter. We now offer the coconut water kefir at our Palos Verdes and Santa Monica clinics after a colonic for a probiotic and electrolyte boost.

The benefits of coconut water kefir at our Palos Verdes and Santa Monica clinics are countless:

• Provides a wide range of beneficial minerals such as natural sodium, potassium and chloride
  
• Skin, nails and hair all become stronger due to the boost of natural minerals
  
• Enhances overall energy and health
  
• Tones the intestines which in turn tones the abdomen
  
• Aids in digestion and absorption of food
  
• Eliminates sugar cravings
  
• Cleanses the liver
  
• Improves complexion
  
• Benefits the endocrine system through the thyroid, adrenals, pituitary and ovaries
  

How does Coconut Water Kefir Work?

At our Palos Verdes colonics clinic, we offer coconut water kefir for an extra boost after your session. Coconut water kefir boosts the probiotics within the intestinal tract of the body and restores the natural intestinal microbiotica that we are born with. The combination of coconut water and kefir creates a great number of beneficial bacteria and minerals. By adding beneficial bacteria and organisms to the intestinal tract, you cleanse destructive bacteria and other toxins from the body. Drinking coconut water kefir after a colonic at our Palos Verdes or Santa Monica clinic will cleanse your intestinal tract even further.

Whether you know it or not, mercury, lead, arsenic and other heavy metals are currently harming your body. Independent studies have shown that almost everyone has detectable levels of heavy metals. Heavy metals enter the body through our drinking water, our food and even our air. These metals remain in the body and build up to hazardous levels, causing tremendously adverse effects. Heavy metals have been linked to heart disease, cancer and even autism. They are neurotoxins that remain in the body until they are flushed out.

Heavy metal detox, otherwise known as chelation, offers a natural solution for ridding the body of poisonous metals. Our Santa Monica and Palos Verdes locations offer a wide range of solutions for heavy metal detox. We are one of the few clinics in Santa Monica and Palos Verdes that carries Detoxamin, a chelating agent being recommended by renowned Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt and Dr. Soram Singh Khalsa. Our individually designed programs use binding agents in conjunction with colonics and other therapies to rid the body of neurotoxins.

Some of the products and services we offer:

Colonics Palos Verdes

Heavy metals bind with tissue once inside the body. This makes it difficult for metals to pass through the natural digestive process of the body. Colon hydrotherapy is a natural method used to cleanse the colon of toxins. Our Palos Verdes colon hydrotherapy clinic helps move heavy metals through the digestive system and out of the body. Colon hydrotherapy also improves the absorption of nutrients, proteins and vitamins. Colonics is recommended by Dr. Klinghardt as part of his Toxin Elimination Protocol.

Dr. Soram Singh Khalsa, another renowned detoxification expert, uses colonics in conjunction with heavy metal chelation and often prescribes Detoxamin.  Our certified colon hydrotherapists will put together a specialized program for your colonics and chelation.

Detoxamin

Detoxamin is a method of ETDA chelation therapy, or heavy metal detox, and is a proven alternative to intravenous heavy metal detox. Administered as a suppository, Detoxamin releases and absorbs into the colon wall and targets specific areas. Verified in published pre-clinical studies, Detoxamin is the only proven brand for chelation therapy. Our Santa Monica and Palos Verdes clinics carry Detoxamin and can create a heavy metal detox program specific to your needs and goals.

Cilantro with Chlorella

Cilantro with Chlorella is a very powerful chelation agent. This natural chelation agent is especially useful for ridding the body of mercury, but is also valuable for other heavy metal detoxification. Chlorella helps bind to the mercury and flush it out of the system, making it very powerful in combination with cilantro. Our Santa Monica and Palos Verdes clinics carry cilantro with chlorella products.

Infrared Sauna Palos Verdes

The infrared sauna uses far infrared light to penetrate tissue and boost the transference of water across cellular membranes. The benefits include increased blood flow, hydration and detoxification. Infrared saunas are an exceptional method for heavy metal detox and enhancing immunity. We offer an infrared sauna at our Palos Verdes and Santa Monica clinic.

Ionic Detox Footbath

Our Palos Verdes Ionic Detox Footbath uses positive and negative ions to attach to toxins in the body. Once attached, the ions pull heavy metals and other impurities through the feet into the water and out of the body.

Colonic irrigation, or colon hydrotherapy, provides benefits to even the healthiest individual. Eating organic foods, exercising on regular basis and avoiding chemical toxins is a good start to a healthy body, but colonic irrigation can rid the body of abundant toxins and help with a number of ailments. Adults, frequent travelers and teens with parental consent all find colonic irrigation beneficial.

Colonic Irrigation cleanses the colon using a relaxing flow of warm sterilized water. This natural technique instills water gently into your colon and activates the natural peristalsis of your intestines. Waste and toxins are moved out of the body, thereby prompting the rest of the body to dump more poisons into the colon. In order to completely rid the body of its toxins,many of our clients do a series of sessions. Our Santa Monica and Palos Verdes colonic irrigation clinics offer highly trained and certified colon hydrotherapists. We will speak with you about your specific goals and find a program to fit your lifestyle. Some specific improvements our clients speak about are:

• Improved Digestive Performance – Our colonic irrigation Palos Verdes and Santa Monica clinics use our specialized technique to cleanse the colon of its many toxins. With a clear intestinal tract, your digestive system will absorb vitamins, proteins and nutrients with more efficiency.
  
• Stimulates Natural Peristalsis – The warm water gently instilled into your colon stimulates the body’s natural peristalsis, so that muscle tone, constipation and other intestinal problems are corrected. Peristalsis is your body’s natural contraction of the smooth muscles throughout the digestive tract. It moves food and other contents throughout the body.
  
• Pressure Reduction – As waste moves out of your body, the colon returns to its normal size and in turn puts less pressure on surrounding organs such as the heart, lungs and liver. Colonic irrigation promotes whole-body health.
  
• Hydration – Our Santa Monica and Palos Verdes colonics clinic instills sterilized warm water into the colon. The water is absorbed through the colon into the rest of the body providing complete hydration at a cellular level. Blood circulation increases due to an increased amount of oxygen, and the body is able to flush toxins more efficiently.
  
• Well-being – Colonic irrigation not only eliminates toxins from the body, but it also reduces inflammation by cleansing the colon of other foreign substances such as heavy metal toxins (if  chelting agent has been taken by the client). After your colonic session in Palos Verdes or Santa Monica, you’ll feel an overall sensation of well-being. As Dr. Oz reported on Oprah, “Remember, 70 percent of your serotonin is made in the intestinal tract!”
  
• Increased Mental Awareness – Colonic irrigation promotes mental health. Through the removal of toxins and other unwanted substances throughout the body, you’ll think more clearly and improve overall brain function as the bloodstream continues to release waste.
  

It’s almost impossible to avoid toxic contamination in today’s world. Toxins are in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. Schedule your colon hydrotherapy session at our Palos Verdes or Santa Monica clinic today.

We are all at the mercy of our own stomachs. From occasional discomfort to consistent pains that stem from our digestive systems, millions of people rely on prescription and over-the-counter antacids for relief from stomach issues. While many of us believe that these antacids are the key to managing our stomachs, Dr. Jonathan Wright’s new book, Your Stomach, provides a look into the highly profitable business of producing and selling antacids and questions whether or not these drugs are actually helping us.

Too much of anything can be harmful, so managing the antacids in our stomachs is a powerful tool for good health, but Dr. Wright’s research reveals that too little acid can produce equally negative effects. From acid reflux to indigestion and belching, Wright suggests that antacids may actually be the reason for your stomach ailments. Also, undeniable is the medical evidence that daily use of antacids will produce anemia as well and prohibit your body from absorbing any minerals.  Wright is a trusted voice in the medical world; with an undergraduate degree from Harvard and a medical degree from the University of Michigan, he has authored or co-authored 11 books and writes Nutrition and Healing, a monthly newsletter that discusses nutritional medicine and its benefits.

If Dr. Wright’s suspicions about antacids are true, why is there so little information available about their disadvantages? The answer is simple: drug companies rake in enormous profits from this sector of their business. Prescription antacids alone yield over $20 billion in sales. Before you take another prescription for antacids to the pharmacy, educate yourself with Dr. Wright’s expertise. It may mark the path toward a healthy and happy stomach.

Your Stomach is available from Praktikos Books.

It should also be mentioned that many hundreds or Transformational Health clients have reported no more acid reflux after implementing a detoxification protocol with the addition of probiotics daily.

While processed food manufacturers may claim that margarine and other butter “alternatives” are healthy options for your diet, Donna Gates debunks these myths in “The 20 Health Benefits of Real Butter.” Gates’ article reveals the truth behind the margarine versus butter debate: butter is better.

For anyone familiar with the development of processed foods, you know that the additives and methods used in creating much of the food in grocery stores are toxic for our bodies. In the butter debate, though, so many of us believe that processed margarines are better for our diets because they are lower in fat and cholesterol. However, fat and cholesterol are not evil. In fact, they are vital to our existence. We just need to consume them in moderation. Eating margarine eliminates some of the healthy fats we need in our diets and replaces them with hydrogenated and processed polyunsaturated oils that create serious health risks.

From protecting against tooth decay to providing Vitamins E and K, Gates’ list of the 20 benefits of butter reveals that butter, in its natural state, is naturally good for us. While some cholesterol-free and fat-free food manufacturers want us to believe that eliminating fats and cholesterols from diets is good, the cholesterol in butter is vital to children’s brains and nervous system development.

It’s no secret that America has a serious obesity problem, and much of this issue can be attributed to our reliance on processed foods – even the foods that are fat-free. When the body is clouded with unnatural food additives and chemicals, the digestive system cannot function properly. Gates suggests that replacing that jar of margarine in the refrigerator with homemade raw and organic butter provides relief from some of these toxins.

While most of us associate bacteria with something harmful, our bodies need bacteria to function properly. Dr. Joseph Mercola’s “The Case for Healthy Bowels: The Vital Connection Between Your Gut and Your Health” discusses how the human bowels affect a body’s overall health and the factors that contribute to healthy bowels. Mercola’s article reveals that a healthy and clean digestive system often means a healthy and clean mind and body.

“The Case for Healthy Bowels” declares that the human body is home to about one hundred trillion bacteria. Wow! There are both good and bad types of bacteria included in this count, and an appropriate ratio (85% good: 15% bad) is essential to good health. For the billions of people throughout the world that deal with intestinal issues and stomach discomfort, these problems are often attributed to a disproportionate number of bad bacteria in the digestive tract.

Our daily food decisions affect this ratio. Most of us are guilty of consuming processed foods: frozen dinners, fast food value meals and sweet candies and cakes that are high in sugar and trans fat. Not surprisingly, these foods wreak havoc on our digestive systems. The first step to maintaining a healthy set of bowels is making smart diet choices. Rather than a package of two cupcakes, pick up a bag of raisins. Instead of drinking an extra large soda, drink a glass of fresh squeezed juice.

In addition to a balanced diet full of vitamins and minerals, probiotic dietary supplements help keep good bacteria alive and well in the intestinal tract. Probiotics help regulate the pH balance in your stomach, which creates an environment where good bacteria flourish. When taken daily, probiotic supplements can help keep your bowels working on a regular basis, which will help your immune system remain strong, too.

Good bacteria have four important duties to perform: digest and absorb certain carbohydrates for energy, keep bad bacteria under control, prevent allergies and provide vital support to the immune system. With around 80 percent of our immune cells located in our digestive tracts, maintaining this ratio is key to a healthy lifestyle. If you are experiencing stomach problems, be sure to examine your daily food intake and explore the probiotic supplements available to help get your digestive tract on the right track.
