"Walking is man's best medicine" - Hippocrates Note: These are basic suggestions for the general population. Water: Drink purified room temperature water - 50 ounces of water for every 100 lbs of body weight over 24 hours is recommended. Water filters are recommended. Choose quality water filters such as Epic pure or nano filters, Aquasana, Clearly filtered, Mercola, or a reputable reverse osmosis systems. If you purchase bottled water, favorite bottled waters are Icelandic, Rainfresh, Poland Spring Origin, Italian Still, Pellegrino, Central Market sparkling. Avoid bottled water in thin “crunchy” plastics because they leach higher contents of phthalates and other chemicals into the water Sunshine:  If weather permits, absorb 15-20min of sunlight to skin every day without sunscreen to >50% of uncovered skin surface to absorb natural Vitamin D. Supplement with Vitamin D3 when you are not absorbing natural sunlight. Quality Vitamin D3 supplements are available from https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/chhjs Cooking utensils:  Ceramic cookware is ideal. Most glass cookware is non-toxic. The 3-5 ply stainless steel such as Calphalon cookware, 360 cookware, All-Clad, Le Creuset, Made In, Tramontina are non-toxic and virtually non-stick. Occasional use of Lodge cast iron skillets are acceptable. Avoid cooking with plastic, aluminum, thinner bendable stainless steel, Teflon, and Silverstone non-stick cookware as they leach metals and toxins into food. More health tips: Exercise at 2-4x weekly as tolerated. Remove metal jewelry from the body at bedtime. Do NOT charge a cell phone by your bed. Place the cell phone on airplane mode if it is not needed during the night, or place the phone in an EMF faraday bag. Turn off the wi-fi while you are sleeping or least place an EMF cover over your wi-fi unit. You may plug it into a wall-timer so it automatically switches off when you go to bed and back on when you need it. A VitaSet Generator (VSG) helps mitigate harmful affects of electro-pollution and high frequency electro-magnetic fields (EMF) that stresses the body and the brain. Send a request to center@holistichealingjs.com Women - wear non-underwire bras. Implement oil pulling oral hygiene every morning. Refer to article on "Oil Pulling". Avoid personal care products for the teeth, hair, and skin that contain sodium lauryl sulfates (SLS), fluoride, aluminum, mineral oil, lead, petroleum, to name a few.

“If you are in a bad mood go for a walk.If you are still in a bad mood go for another walk.” ― Hippocrates This stress reduction technique helps decrease high levels of anxiety and decreases the irritability of the sympathetic nervous system. It also stimulates the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, helps release bile in the gallbladder and release digestive enzymes in the pancreas. Sit or lie in a comfortable position. Relax. Roll your head a few times to relax the muscles in your neck. Gently hold left thumb and index finger pads together with the palm of your right hand. (Right palm over two left fingers) Breathe deeply – in through the nose, slowly, and imagine air filling you all through your body and down to the feet. Then exhale out through your mouth, slowly. Repeat this 7-10 times. Imagine in your mind a peaceful place that you have been to – ie. a vacation spot, a wonderful childhood memory, ocean side, beach, mountains. “Remember” that place with all of your senses. See the surroundings. Hear the sounds. Feel, Smell and Touch it with your imagination. For example, See and Hear the ocean and the sand and wildlife. Feel the sand through your toes as you walk, and the warm sun rays touching your body, and the breeze blowing through your hair. Smell the ocean air, and taste the salt water on your tongue. Focus on this memory and hold it in your mind for 3-10 minutes. If you practice this 3-4 times a day (before meals and before bed), you will greatly reduce your emotional stress during the day and you will also be able to sleep better and longer at night. Practicing this technique on a regular basis will allow you to be able to recall it more easily so that you can utilize it at any given time when you may find yourself in a stressful situation. Find a quiet moment anywhere and anytime throughout your day to get into a relaxed frame of mind. Adapted from Wm. Lee Cowden, MD

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy -HBOT 1.3 ATA (4 psi) operating pressure Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). This therapy involves breathing in pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which allows oxygen to dissolve in the body's fluids and tissues at a higher rate. This medical use of oxygen in a pressurized environment allows for oxygen to saturate the blood plasma and increase the absorption of oxygen levels to all organs of the body by 28-40% while passively lying in the chamber for about 60 minutes. Every cell in our body requires oxygen to create energy, for cellular function, for regeneration and to help prevent pre-mature aging. Illness from toxins and pathogens competes for the oxygen that healthy cells need. This is why stressors of any type causes a decrease in the ability to absorb oxygen into the blood, which can result in decreased oxygenation to the tissues. Proper detoxification creates space for the absorption of oxygen to the cells and tissues with oxygen therapy. Then the oxygen can better regenerate and heal the tissue that has been broken down from toxins and pathogens. Stressors common to everyone are man-made chemicals, insecticides, pesticides, toxic metals, radioactive substances, electro-pollution, disease-causing pathogens, and psyche-emotional stress. Pressurized oxygen from HBOT helps stimulate stem cells to repair and regenerates cells and soft tissues, especially after an individual clears out enough toxic garbage through effective detoxification methods such as light & frequency therapies for detoxification, the near infrared sauna, supportive detox supplements, and lymphatic drainage. Another advantage of our HBOT program is the promotion of wound healing. The increased oxygenation provided by HBOT can help speed up the healing process for wounds and injuries, including those related to surgery. HBOT creates an excess reservoir of oxygen to improve mitochondrial function, supplying the body with the oxygen nutrient necessary for cellular performance and energy production. The pressurized oxygen generates a larger pressure gradient so that when you breathe, you have greater gas exchange to increase the oxygen levels to the cells. The excess reservoir of oxygen helps reduce inflammation, oxidative stress and free-radical damage, thus improving mitochondrial function and stimulating the stem cells to repair and regenerate tissue. HBOT improves the recovery phase of perfusion-related injuries such as stroke and MI’s and helps regenerate soft tissue from radiation burns, wounds and certain infections. During an acute infection, the recovery process improves by increasing the activation of the white blood cells to help the body fight the infection with higher levels of oxygen. HBOT is supportive for additional conditions such as osteonecrosis, osteomyelitis, gangrene, certain diabetic neuropathies with non-healing wounds, plus neurological issues. The increased oxygenation provided by HBOT can help speed up the healing process for wounds and injuries, including those related to surgery. Our HBOT program can also support brain function and mental health. The increased oxygenation can promote the growth of new blood vessels in the brain, which can improve cognitive function and memory. Additionally, HBOT has been shown to be beneficial for patients with anxiety and depression. Detoxification helps create space for the pressurized oxygen to more readily and effectively enter the cells without discomfort. Thereby, it is suggested to go through a detoxification program FIRST before investing in the HBOT at other wellness clinics. Contact the Center for Holistic Healing to explore the most effective detoxification program tailored to your needs! Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Boston College and Dominic D'Agostino advocates hyperbaric oxygen therapy to be done a minimum of 2 hours per week.

Epigenetic factors are the primary way our genetic coding is interpreted, translated, and expressed.  These environmental variables can either activate or inhibit genes and how they express themselves. A holistic approach to genetic snps and genetic information includes their comorbidity, diet and lifestyle history, toxin screening, microbiome, a psyche-emotional evaluation, and family history. How is their genetic predisposition manifesting or not manifesting?  There is a genetic predisposition that a person might have with a variety of different influences surrounding them.  We need to understand the relationship of the whole which includes an individual’s genomics plus the other parts such as the RNA in foods and diet, vitamins and minerals. Genetic snps are affected by our environment – both our internal and external environment.   Snps alone cannot be used as the primary information to function and operate from. The complexity of snps is inconclusive and cannot be black and white. It seems irrational to think that we can understand protein coding genes from a genomic testing when they can only test for less than 30,000 protein coding genes when the body has over 100,000 protein coding genes.  This brings me to conclude that epigenetics has a larger role to play in our health than the results of a genomic testing is able to reveal. Genetic expression is also influenced by toxins that comes from pollution, toxic heavy metals, oxidative stress, an excess of free radicals, chemicals and pesticides, and harmful EMF.  High levels of EMF have been shown to have harmful biological effects in the body and contribute to unhealthy changes to the DNA.  Then when a person is loaded with toxic heavy metals, they are like a walking antenna resonating with the high frequency electro-magnetic fields surrounding them.   Plus EMF also fuels the growth of a multitude of different species of fungi and certain other pathogens which then contributes to more inflammatory conditions. Pathogens have their own genomes micro-eco-systems within our bodies.  For instance, viral genomes consist of either DNA or RNA strands, so they can either be DNA viruses or RNA viruses. The thoughts that we think will emote a certain response and go into our physical cells. Because our beliefs, thoughts, and emotions influences the expression of our genes in epigenetics. Stem cell research has found that genetic information can also be transferred through germ cells, that is through the sperm and ovum.  Thereby, another variable of genetic expression is parental information and experiences.  This genetic information passes on to future generations as cellular memory. Some foods will have a negative effect on the emotions and contribute to depression, anxiety, irritability, add/adhd symptoms, and other mental imbalances. Our bodies obtain information from food.  Fruits and vegetables that have not been genetically engineered, healthy fats, and probiotics provides fuel, enzymes, amino acids, anti-oxidants, and many other building blocks for the body.  Plants, fruits, and vegetables contain gene-regulating microRNA which sends messages and instructions to our DNA.  This then affects the expression of our genes. Grounding, also called earthing, is a therapeutic technique that the ground and nature electrically reconnects you to the earth. This technique is based on grounding physics to explain how electrical charges from the earth can have positive effects on your body. Go back to nature.  Sit, stand on the ground, plant and garden. Schumann frequencies from the earth have positive effects on your body by absorbing harmful ions from the body that have accumulated from chronic exposure to EMF/EMR. Primary Schumann frequencies have a resonance within a range of 7.83-33.8 Hz, which corresponds with our brainwave states.  Man-made high frequency electro-magnetic fields hits our brains at wavelengths of higher frequencies, it contributes to anxiety, stress, and sympathetic nervous system overload. Thereby, when we connect to nature, grounding helps our central nervous system to relax, our bodies to spontaneously decompress and eliminate harmful, inflammatory ions in our bodies. What you see on a genetic test is like what you would see on a piece of sheet music.   But it’s the musician that interprets and expresses what he sees on that sheet music to make the sounds.  The musician uses his physical and emotional energy to convert what he sees on that sheet into expressive sounds. Studies have shown that art heals by changing a person's physiology and attitude. Art and music change the body's physiology from stress and fear to relaxation and inspiration and affects a person's brain wave patterns, hormonal balance, neurotransmitters, autonomic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system, immune system and blood flow to organs. Challenge questions regarding Genetic variants(mutations) – SnPs are single nucleotide polymorphisms: •Have these genetic code adjustments occurred for the purpose of self-preservation in order to survive the cellular memory of inherited psyche-emotional trauma? •the toxic environment that we live in? •the genetically engineered foods that we have eaten for so many decades? •the various pathogens that we have been exposed to?  A • nutrient deficiency? • Or the combination of all these? •Do genetic SnPs serve a protective purpose for the human body’s survival? •Might it be a part of human evolution to survive the onslaught of all these environmental attacks and toxins?

The Center for Holistic Healing represents the forefront of bioenergetic medicine and offers a variety of frequency therapies, which involve using specific frequencies of energy to attempt to manipulate or correct the body's energy flows. This is often done using specialized equipment developed by Pulsed Technologies, which has a primary focus on resonant frequency and precision pulsed plasma technology.  The application of this technology extends beyond traditional medicine, finding new potential in science, industry, and other areas of research. The use of precise, targeted frequencies allows for individualized, fine-tuned treatments that address the unique needs of each patient. ​ An evaluation identifies which Bio-Energetic Frequency therapy or Laser Energetic Detoxification (LED) would be most beneficial.  Bio-Energetic Frequencies assists individuals suffering from: Environmental Allergens Food Allergens Vaccine injury Heavy metal toxicity Chemical & Pesticide Toxins Overload Infections Bio-Energetic Detoxification rapidly mobilizes many toxins from stuck areas in the body and tissues.  Man-made toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, solvents, heavy metals or other chemicals bind to organs, glands, hormone receptors or neurotransmitter receptors.  The technology works with bio-photons, pulsed plasma light, light emitting diodes, and frequencies.  This type of detoxification is beneficial for everyone and especially promising for highly sensitive and fragile persons who are in toxin overload and chronically ill, and those with genetic SNPS and have dysfunction to their detoxification pathways. Frequency therapy also helps alleviate signs of autoimmune disorders, eradicate pathogens, and reduce allergic reactions to environmental inhalants and food sensitivities. ​ Together with Pulsed Technologies & BioEnergetic Solutions, their innovative treatment strategies go beyond traditional methods, offering patients a unique, holistic approach to healthcare.

At the Center for Holistic Healing in Dallas, we offer a wide range of holistic treatments designed to support our patients' health and wellness journeys. One of the most innovative treatments we offer is the EVOX, which is a form of cognitive biofeedback and transgenerational therapy using sound frequencies from the voice and musical tones to reframe perceptions of events and people in their lives and facilitate the release of subconscious mental and emotional blocks to healing. If the brain retains either conscious or subconscious memories from a stressful event or trauma, these memories might induce bodily imbalances. Our genes respond to the frequency energies of sound and music, affecting a person's brain wave patterns. Your voice produces energetic frequencies that reflects your perception of an event, a person, or a topic. Sound frequencies can evoke specific responses in the brain, aiding in the release of mental and emotional barriers to healing. This, in turn, can foster recovery from physical health issues as well as emotional or behavioral challenges. Traumatic memories or negative emotions can trap chemicals and toxins in the body, hindering the body's natural detoxification processes. By clearing these mental and emotional blockages, cells, tissues, and organs operate with increased efficiency.  This has also been beneficial for students and athletes who are looking to overcome specific challenges and improve their performance.  The EVOX can be more beneficial with Recall Healing for many individuals. ​ Recall Healing, rooted in Dr. Ryke Hamer's German New Medicine, explores the intricate links between the body and the brain. Dr. Hamer pinpointed specific bodily regions that correlate with particular brain areas, discerning a direct connection between physical ailments and behavioral patterns. When combined with EVOX therapy, Recall Healing often yields more profound and accelerated results. This approach aids in reshaping an individual's perceptions, awareness, and belief systems that may underlie illnesses or specific conditions. Irrespective of one's conscious understanding, the body's physical state mirrors subconscious patterns entrenched in the brain. This methodology proves especially advantageous for those grappling with persistent, chronic, or long-standing conditions.

Trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation is a method that delivers electrical signals at a very low voltage and extremely low electrical currents to safely stimulate, amplify, or inhibit specific neural pathways in the brain.  The positive and negative flow of electrons are used to either excite an area of the brain or inhibit or slow down an area of the brain. It exercises the brain, to rehabilitate or repair neurological injuries, enhance motor and speech functions, relieve anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Its use can also be beneficial to inhibit pain and reduce addictions and cravings, or symptoms of ADD/ADHD, improve memory, and accelerate learning and other cognitive functions with long-term results.At the Center for Holistic Healing, Dr. Schulenburg's broad range of credentials in both conventional and alternative medicine allow her to provide a more comprehensive and effective approach to brain balancing and regeneration than a strict allopathic methodology.

At the Center for Holistic Healing in Dallas, we offer a wide range of holistic treatments designed to support our patients' health and wellness journeys. Our Body Balancing technique integrates therapies such as cranio-sacral therapy and joint release therapy, myofascial and trigger-point release, scar adhesions therapy, and acupressure combined with meridian stimulation. Disruptions, blockages, or congestion can occur in our body systems due to various factors. These therapies work synergistically to clear blockages resulting from trauma, structural misalignment, or scar tissues and adhesions caused by cuts, injuries, or contusions. Body Balancing not only expedites toxin removal and boosts circulation and lymphatic fluid movement but also alleviates nerve compression, reduces inflammation, and eases muscle and joint pain. Furthermore, it provides a faster remedy for scarring and adhesions compared to many other treatments. ​ Our expertise in conventional allopathic medicine, physical medicine, and alternative medicine enables us to offer a more effective approach to wellness than relying solely on allopathic methods. This allows us to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's distinct needs.​

At the Center for Holistic Healing in Dallas, we offer a variety of holistic modalities to support the body's natural healing processes. One of the most effective therapies we offer is oxygen therapies. ​ Stressors of any type decrease the ability to absorb oxygen into the blood, which can result in decreased oxygen to the tissues.  Various forms of oxygen therapy help increase the amount of oxygen in the blood and plasma, in the tissues, improves cardiac output and immune function, promotes thinking capacity and neurological function, and raises energy levels and endurance within a short time.  Disease and toxins compete for the oxygen that healthy cells need, thereby contributing to cell degeneration and accelerating the aging process. Our cells utilize oxygen for regeneration to prevent premature aging. Methods of oxygen therapy such as Exercise with Oxygen Therapy - EWOT is gaining momentum as a way to improve athletic performance. It is also called Multi-step Oxygen Therapy or Exercise with Oxygen Training. Rather than passively forcing pressurized oxygen into the body as a hyperbaric oxygen tank would do, the idea is to inhale concentrated oxygen while exercising. Exercising while breathing concentrated levels of oxygen dramatically increases the amount of oxygen in the blood plasma, the portion of the blood outside the red and white cells.  The oxygen content of plasma fluid can be dramatically increased and oxygen pushed into the body’s cells without the aid of the red blood cells. EWOT helps increase the oxygen to tissues by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood and plasma, and also in the tissues.  This increased level of tissue oxygen has several beneficial effects including: heart failure, cardiomegaly, high blood pressure, wellness and anti-aging, cancer emphysema symptoms, stress, breathlessness. EWOT was invented by Manfred Von Ardenne, physicist, researcher and inventor. If you're looking for a natural, holistic approach to enhancing your health and wellness, contact us today to learn more about our EWOT programs and other holistic services.

ZYTO technology is based on the body's ability to respond to subtle stimuli using the body's natural energy field.   Zyto technology is based on a bio-communication link established between the individual and the computer via a hand cradle. This assessment tool measures, records, and analyzes the body’s electrical response to stressors and beneficial balancers.  The practitioner will then analyze the data and personalize the individual’s plan of care.  Data is collected on meridians, acupuncture points, vertebral or joint stress, dental issues, frequencies and modalities. The results of a scan are organized into categories of stressors, balancers, and beneficial therapies.  This assessment tool provides assistance in making quality decisions about your wellness care. Zyto technology for collecting data does not diagnose or treat disease or medical conditions. ​ WHAT IS IT LIKE TO GET A SCAN? – You will be asked to place your hand on a hand cradle during a scan.  Subtle energetic impulses are painlessly introduced to your body through multiple input channels.  Your body will naturally respond to this communication while the software records each response. ​ ACCURACY - Clinical studies have compared ZYTO scan reports with results produced by generally accepted diagnostic methods.  One pilot study conducted in Beijing, China compared the results of a four-minute ZYTO scan to a two-day diagnostic workup on several hundred patients. The results showed a high 87% correlation to other diagnostic testing methods. This study could help determine the clinical value of the scans as a guide for suggesting other medically accepted diagnostic workups. ​ REMOTE CAPABILITY - You and your family can connect with our office through the internet to get a bioenergetic scan regardless of where you are in the world.  Scans are performed online with the hand cradle attached to your own computer from a remote location while speaking with our practitioner by telephone or Skype.  The data received during the evaluation is the same whether you are in our office or remotely located in your home or another office—anywhere in the world. ​ Read more about Zyto and Self-Treatment Sessions here.

Thermograms have been used in European hospitals for more than 30 years.  It is a radiation-free technique that reveals disturbances in the body on a cellular level. Temperature patterns reveal areas of dysregulation in the body – signs of potential disease or dysfunction.  Research has shown that thermography can detect changes in tissue 8-10 years before a tumor develops to a size detectable by a mammogram or MRI. It can indicate dysfunctions or inflammation to the liver, endocrine, cardiac, lungs, pancreas, and brain. This can assist to identify sources of pain and reveal disease in its early stages. Our practitioner at the Center for Holistic Healing utilizes the alfasight 9000 regulation thermometry.  The ALFA System is ISO Certified (Worldwide Quality Control) and is FDA cleared for adjunct diagnosis by the Center for Radiological Health. https://alfathermo.com/ Thermography is intended for the adjunct diagnosis of: 1) abnormalities of the female breast 2) peripheral vascular disease 3) musculoskeletal disorders 4) extracranial cerebral and facial vascular disease 5) abnormalities of the thyroid gland 6) various neoplastic and inflammatory conditions ​ The Alfa system can recognize other conditions such as: Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes (Pancreas) Breast (Breast Health, Cystic Changes) Liver Disease and Function Endocrine Function (pituitary/thyroid/ovary) Cardiac Function (Efficiency, Electrophysiology) Brain and Headache Dental Infections Structural Integrity (Neuromuscular) Pulmonary Function Viral and Bacterial Disease Monitoring

"Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food" - Hippocrates Note: These food suggestions are for the general population. Seek the advice of your practitioner for specific dietary needs and health challenges. Choose alkaline foods over acidic foods. The most common acid causing foods and drinks are sugars, red meats, breads, processed and artificially flavored foods and drinks. Green vegetables: 60-70% raw vegetables is ideal if tolerated, lightly steamed, or juiced green vegetables is ideal. Remember some of the unpopular greens such as mustard greens, collard greens, green chard, rainbow chard, dandelion greens, arugula, parsley, cilantro, celery, bok choy, sprouts. Fruits: Choose fruits lower in fructose such as lemons, limes, grapefruit, berries, pineapple, papaya, kiwi, avocados, and other fruits which are also a good source of anti-oxidants and enzymes. Eat organic as much as possible. Nuts, Seeds: Raw walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, almonds, macadamia, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts for snacks if you have no allergies to these nuts. Also nut butters such as almond butter or sun-butter, and other nut butters made from these healthier nuts. Minimize pistachios and cashews. Avoid peanuts which have higher levels of fungi and mycotoxins, and which become allergenic to more people. Grains and Beans: Amaranth, millet, organic oats, black beans, yellow or orange lentils, colored rice such as red rice, purple rice, black rice, wild rice, and brown rice; minimize quinoa and chickpeas. Do your best to avoid wheat and glutens. Potatoes: Red, yellow, and purple potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes are a healthier choice than white potatoes. Dairy: Non-dairy milk, homemade almond or other nut-milks, hemp milk, coconut milk are acceptable alternatives to animal dairy. If you tolerate milk, organic grass-fed heavy whipping cream reduces to fewer grams of sugar than whole milk. Occasional organic, grass-fed milk or goat milk is acceptable if there is no lactose intolerance. A2 milk might be an alternative for people with lactose sensitivities. Organic soft poached eggs, soft sunny-side up, or soft-boiled eggs are recommended over scrambled or fried eggs. Organic cheeses or hard cheeses from non-gmo fed animals such as imported irish cheeses, kerry gold, manchego sheep cheese or other imported raw hard cheeses from non-gmo fed animals. Alternative cheeses such as vegan gourmet cheese, rice cheeses are somewhat acceptable if they are free of chemical preservatives. Organic butter, imported Irish butter or other European butter, kerry gold, or grass-fed butter are a better choice. Seafood: Salmon, Copper River Salmon, halibut, bass, black cod/sablefish, rainbow trout, orange roughy, sardines, anchovies from cold water Atlantic, Icelandic or Norwegian waters are most beneficial. Wild caught fish contain fewer pesticides than most farm-raised fish. Small fish such as sardines from Norwegian waters carry less toxic metals and contaminants. Avoid or minimize consuming tuna and large fish because research has indicated that they contain much higher levels of mercury than small fish. Healthy oils: Olive oil may be used for salad dressings or consumed as a dietary oil and best consumed unheated (Fresh pressed olive oil, Solspring extra virgin biodynamic olive oil, Texas hill country olive oil, Spectrum organic extra virgin olive oil); MCT oil, coconut oil (raw, unrefined, organic), cod liver oil, walnut oil, flax oil, almond oil, saffron (red flower) oil, avocado oil, macadamia nut oils. Supplement with Nordic Naturals omegas on occasion. For high heat or all-temperature cooking: Avocado, sunflower or grapeseed oil, ghee. For moderate heat cooking: Organic butter or grass-fed imported butter, unroasted sunflower oil, unroasted sesame oil, and safflower oil may be used. Palm kernel oil may be used occasionally. Coconut oil or olive oil should only be used for cooking on very low heat if at all. AVOID canola oil as a vegetable oil because it is acquired from GMO rapeseed. Oil sprays contain chemicals that inhibit the endocrine glands. Read the ingredients. Meats: It is better for some to consume a higher percentage of greens and plant sourced foods along with the healthy fats from nuts, healthy oils, and avocados, especially if you have certain health challenges. Choose healthy fish, turkey, quail, chicken, game meats, over red meat such as beef. Healthier choice meats are wild game, grass fed meats, quail or turkey, or hormone-free, pasture raised chicken. If you choose to eat red meat, it is better eaten in smaller portions. If your diet is primarily meats, choose these healthier meat options. Sweeteners: 100% whole leaf stevia that is unprocessed is ideal. Consider other natural sweeteners such as monk fruit, lo han fruit, small amounts of raw un-processed natural honey, xylitol from birch tree, and organic maple syrup. Organic cane sugar, monk fruit, or brown sugar for baking may be used on occasions. Water: If you purchase bottled water, my favorite bottled waters are Icelandic, Rainfresh, Poland Spring Origin, Italian Still, Pellegrino, Central Market sparkling. Quality water filters may be purchased from Epic pure or nano filters, Clearly filtered water filters, Aquasana, or Mercola.
