Cellular Membrane/Fats/Cholesterol

Posted on by

Cellular Membrane, Fats, Cholesterol

Membrane Function depends upon alignment of phospholipids – how they are inter-spaced with cholesterol and proteins.

The cellular membrane is where the cells intelligence resides.

The cellular membrane holds the intelligence and controls our biology in response to our ENVIRONMENT.

Stem cell biologist and best-selling author Dr. Bruce Lipton conducted a series of experiments that reveal that the cell membrane is the organic equivalent of a computer chip and the cell’s equivalent of a brain.

Cell Membrane Functions:

  • Gives shape, structure, protection, and fluidity
  • Cell Transport
  • Communication… cell to cell, hormones from distant cells, protein markers for interaction with the immune system
  • New research shows the cell membrane can direct all cell function and even change gene expression.

IMP’s are cell receptor/effector proteins that act as the eyes, ears, nose and feelers of the cell

  • Cells become smarter as the outer membranes surface expands and more IMP’s can be utilized.
  • If you take out the nucleus of the cell, the cell will live 2-3 months.
  • If you destroy the cell membrane, the cell dies instantly

Inflammation of the cell membrane disrupts cellular FLUIDITY and therefore cell function

  •  FLUIDITY of the cell allows entry and exit of good and bad into the cell

PLA2 (Phospholipase A 2)is the sergeant of arms of the cellular membrane.

  • Bio-toxins and heavy metals cause a dramatic elevation in Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity which results in premature uncoupling of the EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids) from phospholipids in the cell membrane.
  • Toxins + Insulin increase the PLA2 levels

Omega 6 (Cardiolipin) lines the internal mitochondrial membrane

  • The ratio of Omega 6 to 3 is more important than the individual fats themselves. The ratio should be 4:1 for brain conditions, membrane repair and CVD;  1:1 for heart disease; and 2.5:1 for colorectal cancer.
  • Across the board, the 4:1 ratio improved conditions across the board. DHA did not improve any of the cellular membrane conditions.
  • Systemic Formula’s VISTA is this exact ratio

Due to an increase in the popularity of fish oil, Omega 3 Dominance is a growing problem

  • Leads to an increase in fluidity creating a weak cell vulnerable to toxins and free radical damage
  • Replaces Cardiolipin in the mitochondrial membrane decreasing cell energy causing cell death
  • Increases epigenetic triggers (turns on bad genes)
  • Overall increase in cancer
  • Over- stimulation in ADD and autistic children

Bad fats decrease membrane fluidity by:

  • Increasing Inflammation
  • Changing the perfect geometry of the cell membrane that is highly sensitive to the size of the lipid chains (3.5mm to maintain stability)
  • Renegade fats which are known as Very Long Chain Fats (VLCFA’s) that are overexpressed, disrupt the cell structure

Inflammation is the Ultimate Cause of Cellular Membrane problems

Toxins, Bad Fats and Sugar are the culprits of Inflammation. (Sugar raises PLA2 levels)

CHOLESTEROL:

  • 80-90% of cholesterol is made in the LIVER and it takes a great deal of energy to produce
  • Cholesterol is a major Anti-oxidant (fireman)
  • Makes up 50% of the cell fat
  • 25% of cholesterol is in the brain (can’t think without it)
  • Needed for the utilization of fat soluble vitamins (is the precursor to Vitamin D)
  • High concentration in what are known as the “lipid rafts” which secure the proteins for hormone receptors
  • Securing these proteins validates cholesterols effect on hormone receptors, fat metabolism and endocrine function.
  • Prevents over-fluidity of the cell membrane by providing firmness yet is pliable enough to maintain the cell overall fluidity.
  • It is the OXIDATION of Cholesterol that causes inflammation, NOT the Total Cholesterol
  • An increase in glucose and insulin oxidizes and inhibits production of cholesterol
  • Low Cholesterol levels are associated with increased cancer rates and a higher mortality then high cholesterol.
  • More people suffer heart attacks and stroke with low cholesterol rather than high cholesterol
  • Dr. Stephanie Seneff a senior scientist at MIT said “heart disease may be a cholesterol deficiency problem “

Organic Apples/Apple Cider Vinegar

Posted on by

Organic Apples/Apple Cider Vinegar

There are over 7500 cultivated varieties of apples.  Along with roses, apples belong to the Rosaceae family.  They grow on a deciduous tree that blossoms in the spring and yield its fruit in late summer/early autumn.

The saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” originated in 19th century Wales.  The reasons why are as follow.

  • Apples are a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber………  Soluble fiber helps to prevent cholesterol buildup in the lining of the blood vessel walls, thus helping reduce the incident of atherosclerosis and heart disease.
  •   The insoluble fiber in apples provides bulk in the intestinal tract, holding water to cleanse and move food quickly through the digestive system.  Apples are often referred to as “nature’s broom”.
  • They also contain calcium, phosphorous, potassium and Vitamin C.  However the majority of the fiber and nutrients are actually in the peel itself.  So it is imperative to eat the peel!
  • Non-organic apples known as conventional apples currently rank higher than any other fruit or vegetable in terms of pesticide residue–approximately 56 chemical residues per apple!
  • Since it is imperative to eat the peel, when picking apples, always choose ORGANIC.

Apples can be eaten in a variety of ways.  Apple slices with a sprinkle of Celtic Sea Salt brings out the delicious sweetness of the fruit itself. Organic nut butter with apple also a tasty healthy treat–especially for the young’uns. And let’s not forget good ol apple sauce.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apples/Apple Cider VinegarApple cider vinegar is one of the oldest, most powerful, healing home remedies imaginable. 10,000 years + to be exact.

Apple cider vinegar is made when fermented cider is fermented a second time. The double fermentation fortifies it with extra acids and enzymes.  Apple cider vinegar is used to treat about a gazillion conditions.

Top 15 Benefits of Using Apple Cider Vinegar

Hippocrates used apple cider vinegar to support his patients’ health. Being no fool, he mixed it with honey both for taste and the magnanimous benefits of good quality honey. Both apple cider vinegar and honey have a low pH, but both turn alkaline when consumed.

Many people have too much acidity in their bodies, largely due to stressful lifestyles, unhealthy foods, and eating too much acidic animal protein.

Maintaining a proper pH balance is extremely important for your health. It is key for the optimal functioning of all your body’s systems: digestive, immune, circulatory, muscular, respiratory, nervous, and even your reproductive system. Some consider Apple Cider Vinegar to be the         “roto-rooter” of all joint problems and the best GOUT cure ever!!

NOTE: On every single office visit, I check the Ph. Most often  it is acidic, sometimes balanced and rarely alkaline..

Please buy the book by Paul & Patricia Bragg,  Here is the Bragg Library Link. Please go to the Bragg website.  Please read everything Bragg.

Just a few of the benefits of ACV

  • Healthy oxidation and cholesterol
  • Normal cardiovascular support
  • Healthy cognitive function
  • Normal lymphatic drainage and normal detoxification processes
  • Athletic recovery
  • NOTE: For Gut Health, Mix  2 or 3 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with a teaspoon of organic honey in a cup of warm water, and sip slowly. Alternatively you can use it to pour it on your salad.

NOTE: Apple Cider Vinegar pills or capsules do not work.

NOTE: I only use Braggs I t has been around since 1912

Dosing:  The Braggs in their book have a ton of dosing recommendations. t is said a tablespoon a day keeps the doctor away. Depending on the situation, a good rule of thumb is 2 ounces of ACV in 4-6 ounces water before meals; then the Hippocratic ACV with honey warm water drink; then there is salad dressings galore.

NOTE: To aid in digestion, I am always recommending Hydrochloric Acid such as HCL Pro-Zyme or Betaine HCL w Pepsin. HOWEVER, I would much prefer the food source of Apple Cider Vinegar over the pills and NEVER Apple Cider Vinegar pills.. These three posts below explain a little bit about Acid, Stomach, Proton Pumps, etc.

Gallstone Flush Instructions

Gallbladder Gallstone Flush Instructions

Liver/Gallbladder Flushes have been around for 100′s of years.  Each part of the world has various varieties of flushes which were normally done in the springtime to rid the body of “heavier” toxins created in the winter and prepare the body for lighter foods and “summer heat”  The folks in the American South used Poke Root, the Germanic Europeans used cabbage, the Southern Europeans used olive oil, salts and artichokes.

There are dozens of varieties of liver and gallbladder flushes.  In my 35 years of practice, I may have used most all of them.  I recommend this particular one because it is easier for the patient and relatively inexpensive.  As with all de-tox programs and flushes, I wholeheartedly recommend you work with a physician or other knowledgeable health care provider so they may advise, counsel and guide you through the process.

Even before looking at the instructions please go to my post on Gallbladder and read what it does so you can have a clear understanding of how important it is to clear it out!

DAYS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: 

You will need to buy 5 quarts (1 gallon + 1 Qt.) of Organic Apple Juice.

The apple juice naturally contains pectin and malic acid which will help soften and break down larger stones into smaller pieces and chips

You will also need a 4 ounce bottle of Super Phos-30 Drops. Thanks to the FDA you will have to contact me to purchase at 619-231-1778 or [email protected]

These drops are simply phosphorous which is used in the apple to ensure there is no unnecessary nausea from the apple juice activating the gallbladder.

Each day 10cc of Super Phos 30 is added into the full quart of apple juice

Drink the apple juice throughout the day as opposed to drinking all of it at one time\

This is not a fast!!  Eat normally for the entire 5 days you are preparing for the actual flush

** For diabetics or if you cannot tolerate so much apple juice, use one quart of distilled water per day,

DAY 5:

  • On Day 5, in the afternoon, mix one tablespoon of Epsom Salt in one cup of  warm water. Drink. Epsom salt can help relax the liver bile ducts.**You may repeat this the next morning.
  • Do not eat past 5:00 or at the latest 6:00pm that day
  • Eating a hearty lunch late in the day would also be advisable and if so, skip dinner altogether
  • Wait a minimum of 3 hours before ingesting the following mixture
  • 6 ounce of freshly opened olive oil
  • 10 ounces of Coca-Cola Classic- the Cola contains phosphoric acid and the phosphoric acid will help prevent any nausea created by drinking the olive oil
  • Juice of one or two fresh lemons depending on the size of the lemons
  • Put all 3 ingredients in a glass jar; shake it up; say a prayer and gulp it down
  • If you have an oily feeling on lips or teeth, use lemon rind on them to relieve the oily feeling

** The above recipe is called “the gallbladder challenge”.  You have prepared the gallbladder all week by drinking the apple juice and now you are challenging the gallbladder by drinking the above olive oil mixture which will provoke the gallbladder to dump the stones.

  • After drinking the flush mixture, immediately lie down on your RIGHT SIDE for a half hour (30 minutes). NOT less! It is best to draw your knees up to your chest (fetal position) so the oil will force the gall bladder and bile duct to contract and throw off the stones.   If you can’t do this, lay stretched out full length. Stay in either position for 30 minutes,
  • After 30 minutes, you can move around and resume normal activity and then go to sleep. It usually will take up to 8 hours for the flush to work.
  • A Castor Oil pack; heating pad; or hot water bottle placed directly over the liver for 30 minutes just as you go to sleep is not imperative but would be highly beneficial

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • There will be considerable soft stool the first time. This will decrease and a more formed stool will follow later on
  • . Stones are not usually found with the first stool. Most will come out with the second stool, maybe 5 to 8 hours later. Less stones will be noticed with each additional stool.
  • Reports range from a few to as many as a few to a few hundred stones being discharged. The stones will be somewhat soft and waxy green (like cooked peas). Stones have been reported to be anywhere from pea size to the size of a golf ball.
  • For those who are adventurous, you can put a cheap plastic colander in the toilet bowel, release into the colander and then wash it through (like panning for gold). Stones will be on the bottom.

**Note:

  • Sometimes but not often, the patient will awake during the night and throw-up the olive oil mixture.  Do not be concerned.  It simply means the gallbladder was severely toxic and not able to handle the challenge in its entirety
  • It has also been reported that the patient begins releasing gallstones as soon as they begin the apple juice on Days 1-5.  Again, do not be concerned. Just follow the instructions as written.

How to Prevent Stones from forming in the Future:

A teaspoon of Olive Oil a day will keep the liver bile ducts clean and prevent new stones from forming.  It is easy and it works!  Use extra virgin olive oil mixed with juice from a lemon. Drink it as a “shooter” or with meals, salads etc.

The Lemon Slice Tea 1sr thing in the morning washes out excess bile toxins accumulated throughout the night.
