Symptomatic Relief Isn’t Healing



Having aname for“yourdisease” isto be inpossessionof prettyworthlessinformation

The Disease TreeLet names of all disorders be

Like to the limbs, joined to the tree;

Work on the root and that subdue,

And all the limbs will bow to you.

—Samuel Thomson

function to change howsymptoms manifest.

the HealingResponse

The Secret

• You attract intoyour life whatyou focus yourmental andemotionalenergy on

The WrongQuestion Puts Youon the Wrong Path

• How can I cure “x-y-z”disease?

• How can I reduce mystress?

• How can I fight thisinfection?

• How do I get rid of mycancer?



Don’t Make ChoicesBased on Your Fears

• The path of fearleads us to whatwe fear!

• The mentality offear leads us toattack what wefear, which createsmore of what wefear.

Our Cultural Approach toHealth is Based on War

• Disease is ourenemy…

• We suppresssymptoms

• We fight cancer…

• We kill infection…

• We destroyparasites or yeast…

To heal is to makewhole…

• You can’t makesomething “whole” byfighting, judging,punishing or resisting.

• You create wholenessby nourishing, loving,supporting andaccepting.

Three Components toBasic Nutrition

• Fats

• Protein

• Carbohydrates

Fats

The misunderstood nutrients



Fats are Good!

• Necessary for cell membranes• A major component of brain and nervous

tissue• Needed for adrenal & reproductive

hormones• Preferred fuel of the heart• Keep the body warm• Keep skin soft and moist

Dietary Fats areCalled Triglycerides

Fatty Acid

Fatty Acid

GLYCEROL

Fatty Acid Structure



Fatty Acids

•Palmitic Acid•Myristic Acid•Lauric Acid•Stearic Acid

Saturated

Mono-unsaturated

Unsaturated

Poly-unsaturated

•Oleic Acid

(Omega-6)•Linoleic Acid•Arachidonic Acid

(Omega-3)•Linolenic Acid•EPA•DHA

Saturated Fats

Monounsaturated Fats



Monounsaturated Fats

• Oleic Acid

• Lowers heart attack risk

• Reduces plaque formation

• Aids in cancer prevention

Polyunsaturated Fats

Unsaturated Fat Facts

• Unsaturated fats go rancid moreeasily and are not as stable forcooking at high temperatures

• Essential fatty acids arepolyunsaturated fats

• Unsaturated fats make cellmembranes more fluid



Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)

Di-homo-gamma-linolenic acid

Type 1Prostaglandins

Arachidonic acid

Linoleic acid

Type 2Prostaglandins

Protein

Buildingblocks oftissue

Protein is Important

• Protein is contained within every part ofyour body: skin, muscles, hair, blood,organs, eyes, nails, bone

fat, while also being high in fiber, nutrients andantioxidants



Fruits and Veggies
