INCIDENCE OF
COLDS/RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS
Average U.S. adult has 2 to 4 colds/year
Average U.S. child has 6 to 10/year
Up to 12/year for school age kids
Average duration is 1 week (up to 3 weeks)
Caused by 200 different viruses
THE NATURAL APPROACH
Learn how to keep our
immune systems
healthy naturally
ONLY ONE DISEASE…
MALFUNCTIONING CELLS
Two Causes of Cells to Malfunction…
 Exposure to toxins
 Lack of nutrients
Together,
they weaken the immune system.
Never Be Sick Again
Raymond Francis
WHAT WEAKENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
 Stress
–
–
Emotional
Physical (including extreme exercise)
 Exposure
 Poor
to toxins
diet
 Lack of rest
 Aging
 Sugar/Alcohol
SUGAR CONSUMPTION
1900 – 10 pounds
(per capita/year)
1985 – 124 pounds/year
2000 – 160 pounds/year
DANGERS OF SUGAR
Immune Dysfunction
–
“The anti-nutrient” depletes vitamins and minerals
essential for the immune system

–
B vitamins, antioxidants, iron, and zinc
Displaces natural nutritious foods
such as fruits and vegetables
 such as water or milk (with soft drinks - high fructose corn syrup)

–
–
Slows white blood cells
Feeds Candida yeast (80% of immune system in
gut)
MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

Damaging Affects on the Brain
–
Creates blood sugar swings
(resulting in fatigue, poor focus, poor
attention span, irritability, and mood swings)
–
Depletes essential nutrients for the brain
(B vitamins, zinc)
MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

Sugar Feeds Candida Yeast
–
–
Candida produces toxins
Symptoms of Candida
 Brain
– anxiety, depression, headache, irritability, mood
swings, poor memory, poor mental focus, dizziness
 Digestive – diarrhea, bloating, gas, irritable bowel, bad
breath, heartburn, food allergies, constipation, belching,
abdominal pain, mucous in stools, and cravings for
sweets, bread and alcohol
MORE CANDIDA SYMPTOMS

Weakened Immune System – frequent infections
(especially ears, tonsils), sinus congestion, chronic cough, pain
or tightness in chest, environmental sensitivities (mold),
asthma-like symptoms

Reproductive – endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical
dysplasia, PMS premenstrual syndrome, infertility, loss of
libido, prostatitis, impotence, pelvic pain, vaginal discharge and
itching

Other – acne, skin disorders, white coated tongue, athlete’s
foot, canker sores, nail fungus, burning tongue, spots in front of
eyes, rash or blisters in mouth, fatigue, joint pain, muscle
weakness, blurred vision
MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

Aggravates Inflammation
–
–
–
–
Sugar causes the body to be more acidic (along
with meat and dairy)
Vegetables cause the body to be alkaline
Inflammatory conditions include heart disease,
arthritis, all “itises”, cancer, eczema, asthma, etc
The more insulin produced ...
…
The more inflammation
MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

High insulin levels cause cancer cells to grow.
At least 4 or 5 types of cancer have been linked
to high insulin levels
(Steve Chaney PhD and cancer researcher)
Dental decay
 Diabetes
 Excessive weight gain
 Osteoporosis (body pulls calcium from bones to
make blood more alkaline)

MORE DANGERS OF SUGAR

Free Radical Damage
–

Increased from high insulin
Damage to Digestive Tract
–
–
Reduces production of digestive enzymes
Leads to allergies and immune issues
WHITE FLOUR ... SUGAR’S COUSIN

Refined carbohydrates… including breads
and baked goods, chips, crackers, and
snacks … all cause high insulin levels and
blood sugar surges.
HOW TO STOP THE CRAVINGS
Obesity – not a will power issue.
Cravings are … a metabolic imbalance that
causes blood sugar to plummet
– Cinch Plan or Energizing Soy Protein
– B Complex
– Glucose Regulation Complex
– Vita Lea
WHAT STRENGTHENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM?
Avoiding sugar and baked goods
 Diet rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes,
whole grains, low fat protein
 Water/Hydration

immune system
