HCG Weight Loss

HCG weight lossThis is the one that really works. The kind of fat that is soooo tough to lose - women's thighs, men's belly - is same fat mobilized during pregnancy by the HCG hormone. That is why the HCG weight loss program works for so many people when nothing else has.

We use a homeopathic version of the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone for weight loss. It works much better than diet and exercise alone because it actually makes you use up your own excess calories. Calories stored in the fat "safe deposit box" of thighs and hips are released into the bloodstream. That is why you do not feel very hungry or need to eat as much food on this regimen. We recognize that this method of weight loss is a tool to start making a change. We work with you regarding detoxification as you lose weight, and give you a plan for a whole food diet to implement for the future. You may wish to transition from the weight loss program into the First Line Therapy nutritional and lifestyle program, so that you can maintain this healthy weight loss into the future.

Why do we use the homeopathic version of HCG? Because the homeopathic version gives us the information from the hormone without having to use the actual hormone itself. It's easier on the body and does not raise long-term concerns about complications from the hormone. It is kind of like using the remote control to change the TV channel instead of getting up and physically pressing a button.

Genetically Modified Food

The issue of genetically engineered (GE) food is marching all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In January, the Court decided to hear the case of Monsanto v. Geertson Seed Farms. This case is about alfalfa, the fourth most widely grown crop in the U.S. and a key source of dairy forage. GE Alfalfa is perhaps riskier than corn, soy, cotton, and sugar beets - the other GE crops - because alfalfa is open-pollinated by bees. Bees can travel several miles, spreading the patented, foreign DNA to conventional and organic crops. Such biological contamination threatens the livelihood of organic farmers and dairies, since the U.S. Organic Standard prohibits genetic engineering.

The Center for Food Safety (CSF) filed a lawsuit in 2006 on behalf of a coalition of non-profits and farmers who wished to retain the choice to plant non-GE alfalfa. You know how strongly I feel about GM foods, so I am letting you know of an opportunity to lend your voice to the issue.

There is an immediate opening for public input into an environmental impact statement (EIS) in this case. This is the first time the USDA has done an EIS for any GE crop. The CSF's website says, "CFS has begun analyzing the EIS and it is clear that the USDA has not taken the concerns of non-GE alfalfa farmers, organic dairies, or consumers seriously. USDA's preliminary determination is to once again deregulate GE alfalfa without any limitations. Incredibly, USDA is claiming that there is no evidence that consumers care about such GE contamination of organic."

There is a 60-day comment period; you can direct comments to the USDA until February 16, 2010. To find out more about how to be heard, go to the source: Center For food Safety

Health - Is Your Salt The Right Kind Of Salt?

New York City is launching a campaign to cut New Yorkers' sodium intake by one-fifth over five years. The NYC Health Department is spearheading the National Salt Reduction Initiative, which will cajole food manufacturers to voluntarily cut sodium content 20 to 25 percent by 2014. Some 26 other cities, states and organizations, including the American Medical Association, back the campaign.

New research published in the New England Journal of Medicine calculated that if Americans reduced their salt intake by half a teaspoon a day, the nation would save up to $24 billion a year in health care costs, a move more cost-effective than using medications to lower blood pressure in all persons with hypertension.

"There's a certain arrogance when the New York City Health Department is setting policy for the rest of the country," said Lisa Roman, spokesperson for the Salt Institute. "These are decisions that should be made personally."

Dr. Grout's Comment:
But you can't make a personal decision about how much salt to eat when it saturates everything around you. At Olive Garden, a meal of chicken parmigiana, one breadstick, salad with house dressing and raspberry lemonade totaled 5,735 milligrams of sodium, according to the New York Times.

Some 80 percent of the salt we consume comes from processed and restaurant foods. The American Medical Association recommends 500 to 2,000 milligrams per day.

Some New Yorkers consider Mayor Michael Bloomberg's actions to be an overstep of government power. But because heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses are rampant, and because government watchdog agencies have refused to act, we increasingly see people working at the city level to curtail smoking, trans fats, soda, and now salt.

Not all salt is the same. The stuff you get out of a typical shaker is an industrial product. It has been heated and refined, the trace minerals removed. This product is nowhere to be found in nature; it is unfriendly to the body.

Himalayan saltNature did not design sodium as a stand-alone item; she packages it with essential trace minerals. Natural salt is unrefined and contains those trace minerals. Examples are Celtic salt and Himalayan salt. Sodium is one of the primary electrolytes in the body. All four cationic electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium) are available in unrefined salt.

Without salt, we die. We need salt for digestion, adrenal function, cellular metabolism, and brain development.

Our bodies contain 3 internal oceans that require frequent mineral replenishment of many trace elements, the kind found in unrefined salt: blood plasma, lymphatic system, and the extracellular fluid that bathes every living cell. Trace elements found in minute quantities in unrefined sea salt work together to assure and maintain proper function of these systems. Sodium is the major electrolyte outside the cells, and potassium is the major electrolyte inside the cells. These two elements work together to maintain fluid balance, transmit nerve messages and control muscle contractions. Unrefined salt contains potassium, refined salt does not.

The salt controversy needs to get around to the fact the amount of sodium in the diet is less important than the ratio of sodium to potassium, and that speaks to the nature of the salt itself.

Carol Ann Liaros Workshop

The weekend seminar by Carol Ann Liaros January 30 and 31 was very popular. She taught us an easy way to get in touch with our own inner wisdom and seek accurate answers to questions in our lives. She also taught us how to be a healing presence, how to adjust one's attitude so that people are positively affected by the light that comes through you. Intentionality is everything.

"There was such good energy with everyone in the group," said one attendee. "She was very clear, and made it easy to go through the steps and get something tangible out this. She is amazing."

Carol Ann Liaros has been conducting private intuitive consultations, teaching, and lecturing for nearly four decades. Numerous corporations have used her expertise prior to making aquisition, mergers, and personnel decisions. We were fortunate to have her with us that weekend.

We are planning another similar workshop next year, toward the end of January of 2011. We will certainly keep you posted.
