Slow Oxidizer Protocol

+33 more items in Slow Oxidizer Protocol

Slow Oxidizer Protocol The goal of this protocol is to balance the four macro-minerals, and in turn, balance the nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic balance) The HTMA represents time-weighted averages of mineral usage over a 3-4 month period The Slow Oxidizer pattern is identified by: a high Ca/K ratio, and a low Na/Mg ratio...and/or a high Ca/P ratio This mineral pattern puts the person in a parasympathetic state, resulting in symptoms of exhaustion, apathy, depression/anxiety, brain fog, constipation, etc... According to Dr. Wilson, this occurs "because the sympathetic nervous system no longer functions and the body flips into more of a parasympathetic state.” - Dr. Wilson NOTE: You may start moving heavy metals as you start to balance the mineral pattern. Binders like Pectasol-C will help to ensure that these metals don't get dumped back into the tissue

Here are a few of my favorite supplements for kids/teens. The most important thing as always is to build up the immune system by proper diet, sleep, exercise, stress management and supplementing as needed. Please review the attached PDF to give you some ideas of healthy fruits/veggies to include in your diet and your kids. For kids/adults who do not tolerate capsules - my favorite line is: Bio Ray You will find support for: sleep, calm, immune, gut, detox, etc. NOTE: It is best to sequence and titrate all supplements, especially for sensitive individuals. Sequencing = adding one new supplement at a time as recommended. Titration involves starting with the lowest possible dose (ex: 1 capsule), and then gradually ramping up over the course of a few days to the maximum recommended dose. Please check with your Dr before starting any new supplement regime.

Allergy and Sinus Protocol

ProBiota HistaminX Contains probiotics that are "histamine friendly" to the gut, while helping to support the healthy metabolism of ingested histamine from food. *Excludes* bacterial species that may be problematic for those with histamine intolerance. Histamine Digest Contains the enzyme DAO - Diamine Oxidase - the enzyme in the gut primarily responsible for metabolizing extracellular histamine This product is only helpful when taken WITH food, especially foods higher in histamine such as: fermented foods, wine, cheese, chocolate, vinegar, cured meats, bone broth, leftovers, etc. If/when following a low histamine diet, this product may not be needed as frequently. Stinging Nettle "Nature's Anti-Histamine". Nettle leaf contains compounds that inhibit the release of histamine from mast cells. This can help to reduce the severity of allergic reactions. Nettle leaf also contains compounds that block histamine receptors, which can prevent histamine from binding to its receptors and causing allergic symptoms. Lastly, nettle leaf has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce the inflammation associated with allergic reactions. Beef Liver Capsules Organ meats, also known as "nature's multivitamin" are among the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Key nutrients in organ meats such as B2, Folate, and B12 are essential for the optimal function of a metabolic process called "methylation". In turn, optimal methylation is essential for activation of the enzyme HNMT (Histamine N-Methyl Transferase), a key enzyme involved in histamine metabolism. Organ meats are also the most abundant dietary source of copper, a key nutrient in the activation of the DAO enzyme. MegaIgG Helps to neutralize a gut-born toxin known as LPS (lipopolysaccharide), which is produced by gram-negative bacteria. Poor diet and lifestyle can lead to the over-abundance of such bacteria, leading to a metabolic condition known as "endotoxemia" - an excess of LPS in the body. Some functional medicine experts believe that LPS is the most toxic substance in the body, and elevated levels can not only contribute to higher histamine levels, but also contribute to chronic intestinal permeability (leaky gut). According to autoimmune researcher Alessio Fasano, leaky gut is the #1 predisposing factor do developing autoimmune disease. Liver GI-Detox The liver is of course, our body's primary organ of detoxification. In addition to metabolizing histamine, the liver also stores histamine in its mast cells. This histamine can be released into the circulation in response to various stimuli, such as liver injury. The liver's role in metabolizing histamine is essential for maintaining normal histamine levels in the body. Excessive histamine levels can lead to a variety of symptoms, including headache, flushing, itching, and hives. Liver dysfunction can impair the liver's ability to metabolize histamine. This can lead to elevated histamine levels in the blood and increased histamine sensitivity. Contains NAC, a precursor to glutathione, which the the body's "master antioxidant" and also the most abundant antioxidant in the liver. Xlear Nasal Spray Xlear’s secret is the patented, natural saline spray containing xylitol—an ingredient which cleanses and moisturizes. Normal saline nasal sprays can dry out the nasal passage, actually leaving it more irritated and susceptible to external contaminants. The addition of xylitol helps moisturize and soothe your sinus and nasal passages. Xylitol also has cleansing benefits; it almost acts like soap for your nose. Xlear helps to alleviate congestion and also prevents bacteria and other pollutants from sticking to nasal tissues. Biocidin Liquid (Optional For More Severe Congestion) Biocidin is a broad spectrum herbal anti-microbial that can be used to help eradicate fungal and bacterial overgrowth from the sinuses. Biocidin can also disrupt biofilm in the sinuses, making it easier for the immune system to address microbial overgrowth. LIFESTYLE SUGGESTIONS: Drink plenty of filtered water every day, ideally at least half of your body weight in ounces (example: for 140 pounds, drink 70 ounces of water a day). Water is a *required* macronutrient for assisting the DAO enzyme in eliminating histamine from the body. REMEMBER : "The Solution to Pollution is Dilution" Invest in an air purifier for the rooms that you spend the most time in (such as the bedroom and home office). Blueair is an affordable brand with exceptional reviews. https://www.blueair.com/us/air-purifier-filters Regularly wash your bedding, ideally once/week Spend more time outdoors! The EPA estimates that, on average, our indoor air quality is 5x dirtier than outdoor air! Purchase a Nasopure nasal wash on Amazon regularly wash out the sinuses, ideally every day and/or until sinus symptoms improve Use distilled water ONLY, and make sure to add a saline packet with each use For more severe congestion, initially starting with just 2 drops to test the waters, gradually ramp up to 6-8 drops of Biocidin Liquid to the NasoPure, while not forgetting to use a saline packet as a buffer. Continue until symptoms resolve, or reach out to a knowledgeable practitioner if you're not seeing results after 2-4 weeks Consider following a low histamine diet with the guidance of a knowledgable health practitioner. Therapeutic diets are only meant to be followed temporarily (90 days max), while the root cause(s) of the issue are investigated Consider self-testing your house for mold using and ERMI test, which you can order here:
