Rules for Bowel Retraining

(Keep in mind that it is healthy and normal to have at least 2 to 3 bowel movements per day)

Find and Eliminate known causes of constipation.
ie. lack of fiber/too much white flour or sugar in your diet
Add more fresh fruits and veggies to your diet.
Consider adding prunes or prune juice daily.
Never repress an urge to have a bowel movement. (That urge usually doesnt come back for 24 hours)
Drink 6 to 8 glasses of pure water each day. (It can be sparkling water if you are Type O)  It is best to drink your water either half an hour before a meal or two hours afterwards.

Sit on the toilet for just a few minutes the same time each day. (whether the urge to have a BM is there or not)
Exercise for 30 minutes each day.
Consider a good colon cleanse/nutrient product to take at bedtime each night.
Take a good quality probiotic to ensure a balance of good bacteria in your intestinal tract.

Fasting is often used as a detoxification method, as it is one of the quickest ways to increase elimination of wastes and enhance the healing processes of the body.

Therapeutic fasting is probably one of the oldest known therapies.

My favorite way to fast is to go on a 24 hour fresh juice fast about once a week. (consider using mostly your Blood-Type Specific Beneficial and some Neutral fresh fruits and vegetables)  I like to begin my fast at 6PM one day and eat my next meal the next day at 6PM....this way I spend most of my fasting time asleep!
This juice fast consists of four 8 to 12 oz fresh juice meals spread through-out the day, plus plenty of additional water in between.
While on a juice fast,  individuals typically experience an increased sense of well-being, renewed energy, clearer thought, and a sense of purity.
To further aid in detoxification during the fast:

1. Take a high-potency multiple vitamin and mineral formula to provide general support.
2. Take 1000 mg of Vitamin C three times a day.
3. Take a lower bowel cleanse herbal formula at bedtime.  I love New Sun's Absolute Cleanse 2 caps plus Cascara Sagrada 2 caps. (New Sun ph# 1-800-544-0777)

It is a good idea to begin plan your short fast on a day when adequate rest can be assured. The more rest, the better results, as energy can be directed toward healing instead of other body functions.

ie. Take an extra nap.  Curl up with a good book or movie.

Also, remember to drink at least four additional 8 oz. glasses of pure water during the fast.

Avoid coffee, canned, bottled or frozen juice, or soft drinks.

Herbal, non-sweetened teas can be assumed.

Exercise is usually not encouraged while fasting. It is good to conserve energy and allow maximum healing. Short walks or mild stretching is okay.

Body temperatures may drop during a fast as the body's metabolic rate slows down.   Stay warm.

Some people like to eat only fresh raw foods the day before a fast begins, avoiding refined foods. And then when the fast is broken, they like to introduce solids gradually by limiting portions, not overeating, eating slowly and chewing thoroughly.

Darkfield Microscopy
Putting Light Into A Dark Place

Live Blood Cell And Dry Layer Microscopy

I use my darkfield microscope to empower my clients to understand the dynamic life processes occurring within their bodies and the need to adopt more appropriate health care choices for their personal situation.

This leads the client to a more meaningful expression in their lives of what their health is about and assists them in accomplishing a more vibrant and healthy state of being.

In the rapidly evolving field of of what is known as live cell analysis, an understanding of biology as a holistic science has emered. 
Observations of the blood are made in what is known as a darkfield and is valuable for recognizing imbalances in the body and for tracking the progression toward improvement or degeneration during a therapy or treatment. 

Combining live blood analysis in darkfield with layered dry blood analysis in a brightfield (called the Oxidative Stress Test) is a powerful tool that I use to teach my clients about their overall state of health.

By observing living blood under a microscope, we can get a real-time, dynamic and concrete visual perspective of the state of our internal biological terrain.

Many insights to health can be uncovered through this process.
Peering into the microscope and looking at live blood, we see cause and effect.  When you're not feeling well, your blood doesn't look good.

Often the worse you feel, the worse it looks.  When you get better, the blood also looks better.  Simple correlation.

Make the blood look better, you'll feel better. 
But something else is going on.
When you feel better, often your attitude is also better.

Your state of mental health is closely aligned with your state of physical health.  Change physical health, and you'll often impact mental health.

The reverse holds also; change the mental, and you'll change the physical.  Where is it often reflected?  In the blood.

Change your blood, and you'll change your consciousness.
Change your consciousness, and you'll change your blood.

Ultra Ionic Foot Spa:  Available at The One Healing Center

Why Detox?

Our lives are filled with constant toxic exposure to everything from the many contaminants in our drinking water (even bottled water), to the foods we eat, to the air we breathe.  Detoxification is absolutely necessary if we are to maintain quality of life in our day-to-day existence.

As you know, the human body comes equipped with it's own detox and elimination system.  However, in the last century, the burden of pollutants and stresses from all sources have become overwhelming to every living thing... including each one of us... causing many of us to live our lives with unnecessary pain and discomfort.

Ultra Ionic Foot Spa is your personal solution to the crushing health issues facing all of us... and it's so easy!  30 minutes can bring you the relief from pain and renewed energy experienced by most people!  (please see note below)

What Are Ions?

An Easy Way to Understand Ions...

Do you remember that feeling of revitalized energy you enjoyed when you last walked along the seashore with your feet in the water?  Think back…

Have you ever noticed when you’re near a waterfall, with the wet mist on your face that you feel suddenly awake and so alive?

That revitalized feeling you experience is from the negative ions in the water.  Did you know that you already have ions in your body?  You’re probably already aware that your body contains approximately 60-70% water.  Your health and longevity lie in the live electricity in your body.

Ions are atoms that are electrically charged.  You contain positive ions such as ammonium, calcium, hydrogen, magnesium, potassium and sodium. You’re familiar with those minerals but how are they related?  Well those ions play major roles in your body such as:

• Acid-base balance produced by protein metabolism,
• Muscle contraction
• Nerve conduction
• Blood clotting
• Heart function
• Formation of bones and teeth

You also contain negative ions such as bicarbonate, chloride, and phosphate.  These ions play vital roles such as:

• Regulating our acid-base balance
• Neutralizing stomach acid
• Water balance; component of stomach acid
• Regulating acid base balance in bone and teeth formation
• Protein metabolism
• Energy metabolism
• Structure of cell membranes

There is a correct balance of positive and negative ions that your body strives to maintain.  Unfortunately, we do accumulate toxins.  It is believed that toxicity increases your positive ions.

What can you do about it?  You can add negative ions to correct your ion balance.  Reducing that positive ion overload releases your toxins.  The negative ion current that the Ultra Ionic Foot Spa produces brings back your ion balance by attracting those positive ions, which releases your toxic overload.

Your body has to continually repair and cleanse for you to feel healthy and look young. Cell reconstruction is a major part of how fast you age.

Ion cleansing is alkalinizing to your system.  Did you know that acidity can accompany toxic retention?  When your system is acidic you are susceptible to disease and illness.

Do you suffer from any of the following symptoms of toxicity?

• HEADACHES
• CONSTANT FATIGUE
• INSOMNIA
• JOINT PAIN
• ACNE
• FREQUENT ILLNESS
• SKIN DISORDERS, RASHES
• MUSCLE ACHES
• DARK CIRCLES UNDER EYES
• LACK OF ENERGY

Reducing your toxic levels can improve health and therefore may eliminate many of the above symptoms.

Ions have been known to balance serotonin in the body.  This is why we feel more alert and energized when we are absorbing negative ions either from the water or air.

Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen throughout the body.  So, with the increase of serotonin and oxygen in your system, the effects can be:  stress reliever, alleviate depression, and of course boosting energy.

There is a high concentration of negative ions near waterfalls, the beach and in the forest.  The moving air and water create the negative ion rich environment.

Negative ions are said to neutralize positive ions.  Toxicity is related to an increased amount of positive ions.  Once neutralized, your body naturally sheds its toxins.  This is why ion cleansing is so safe and gentle!

Negative ions have a positive effect on allergies, asthma, catarrh, hay fever, sinusitis, eczema, emphysema and health in general. Negative ion presence can also stop certain bacterial growth.  Negative ions are alkalizing to the PH balance in our system.

There are many other negative ion therapy products on the market such as water ionizers, which put negative ions into the water for healthy consumption and filter out the positive acidic ions for use as an astringent.  Another example are the ionic air purifiers.  All of these can be used, however, as far we are aware, nothing is as thorough, safe and economical as the Ultra Ionic Foot Spa.

Health Benefits

Ultra Ionic Foot Spa

Detoxification For Your Whole Body!

We live in a society fraught with pollutants and heavy metal toxins — natural and synthetic.  They exist in our air, water, food, clothing and the environments in which we live, work, play and sleep.  As a result, our bodies are depleted of crucial life-giving elements, leaving us to feel drained of energy or unable to heal naturally from illness, injury or medical procedures.

We all know our feet sweat / perspire.  It is nature's own detoxifying system.  But even nature's detoxifying system needs help.  The Ultra Ionic Foot Spa is a self-contained, high-tech detox system, that can enable the body to heal itself and rebalance the body's bio-energy fields.  It is very user friendly and requires no special training to perform.

The benefits of using this system on a regular basis, can help to prevent the accumulation of toxins in the body, thus substantially reducing the chances of illness and disease.

How does it work?

While immersing your feet in the foot bowl, a series of timed positive and negative ions are emitted, invigorating, re-conditioning and synchronizing the body's natural ionic flow.  The result is that your body can detox safely, and at it's own pace, by mobilizing residues and waste stored within the body.  This detoxification continues after the treatment, and is likely to take place via the body’s own detox systems  (i.e. the kidneys, liver, lymphatic system).  Short Treatments of 30 minutes in 72-hour cycles have generated best results in clinical trials.

Here is a partial list of the benefits many who have used the Ultra Ionic Foot Spa on a regular basis have experienced:

• Increases Energy Levels
• Alleviates Constipation
• Helps speed up the Metabolism to help in Weight Reduction
• Relieves Allergies (e.g. Hay fever, Asthma)
• Normalizes Blood Pressure and Increases Blood Circulation
• Relief of Joint Pains (e.g. Arthritis)
• Reduces Water Retention
• Improved Memory
• Boosts the Immune System
• Liver Detoxification
• Purges Heavy Metals
• Reduces Stress
• Internal Cleansing with Full Body Purge
• Improves Sexual Health
• Significant Pain Relief
• Improves Sleep
• Liver, Kidneys and Parasite Cleansing
• Wrinkles, Acne and other Skin Problems
• Skin and Beauty Applications

Ultra Ionic Foot Spa sessions along with dietary modifications have been shown to substantially reduce and in some cases, eliminate these problems.

I love New Sun Products!
1-800-544-0777
www.newsun.net

Why?

Because they work! I have worked with so many different nutritional lines and New Sun is still my favorite.  It's at the top of my list for quality. They are made of organic, whole food ingredients whenever possible--- They mix up about 50 pounds at a time of a new batch (which means when you buy a supplement today it is very fresh) compared to other companies that mix up thousands of pounds at a time. The family that runs and operates the company is a family of integrity that truly care about people and want their products to bring good health to the people who buy from them.

You can call anytime you want and talk to the owner Ceil  with your questions and she will actually talk to you!

And the prices are so reasonable!!

The packing/shipping charges are $8.00  whether your order totals $10 or $1000...so I always try to save up my order and order once a month, rather than several small orders.

I used to have to buy my supplements from 8 or 10 different companies every month.  I liked the probiotics from one company...and the enzymes from another...and the minerals from another, etc.  Then I started to try some of New Sun products and found out that everything I tried worked!!!  I was shocked and also elated!! Life is much simpler for me now that I can call one company once a month and order what I need for myself and for my patients.  I just can not say enough good things about this company.  I thank them every time I talk to them for making such wonderful products that have allowed me to help so many people.  I especially love to work with herbs...the energy food that God put here for us on this earth.  Herbs feed our body on a cellular level.  They help with their vibrational frequency to bring our body back into balance and to repair and heal our organs. I also love New Suns water-based homeopathics.  They are quite unique and work so well.  Their emotional remedies are also just superb!

To order products, call 1-800-544-0777.  Give them my name as a sponsor to receive the same wholesale prices that I get.  I get a check from them each month, a percentage of what my  patients order....and you can too.    If you have friends or family who could benefit from these products, tell them about New Sun, and have  them sign under you as their sponsor.  Next, you too will receive a monthly check that helps pay your own personal monthly expense for supplements.  It works out great.
What are my very favorite supplements?

Healthy Chocolate!!!!  Guilt-Free chocolate!!!   Hooray!!!

Everybody seems to know these days that dark chocolate is good for you.  It is all over the news...on CNN and US News and on Oprah.... and there are literally hundreds of valid studies from some of the most prestigious institutions talking about all the great things dark chocolate does for your body.  The problem is that the stuff we can get in the stores is bad for us.  It is fermented, roasted, and alkalized, which strips most of the anti-oxidants and then it is loaded with caffeine and fat and bad sugars.

I am an absolute chocolate lover and I have found a chocolate that is guilt-free and really good for us!  I am talking about cold-pressed, unrefined, caffeine-free chocolate that tastes delicious, helps us feel great and lose weight naturally.

Chocolate (cocoa powder) was used by The Mayan Indians to treat many, many illnesses. They called their chocolate drink "Xocolato" and was considered a sacred medicinal drink that they used to treat over 150 illnesses.   Cocoa Powder is sky high in anti-oxidants.  It is a natural anti-inflammatory.  It can stabilize blood sugar....raise seratonin levels.....curb the appetite, help us sleep better....and on and on and on!!

I am having 3 servings a day  and have no more cravings for sweets between meals or as desserts.  I have such a content satisfied feeling.  These 3 chocolate servngs are the antioxidant equivalent of 12 servings of fruits and vegetables.   My appetite is curbed so I can't eat the same size servings that I used to eat.  This has contributed to more weight loss for me without any suffering whatsoever.  It doesn't get any better!!!

I have patients whose cholesterol has dropped significantly.....  Others who say their depression has lifted.....Others who say they have more energy than they have had in a long time.  I have children as patients with ADD that are significantly improved.  One of my college age patients has lost 30 pounds.  The only change these patients made was adding Xocai to their diet.   Another patient has seen huge improvement in the frequency and duration of his migraine headaches.

Check out my website on this healthy, guilt-free chocolate if you would like to try this wonderful, tasty treat....or if you would like to join the team I am putting together of people that want to build a chocolate business by helping people feel better and get healthier  while they enjoy their chocolate!!  www.drfeliciandchocolate.com

Chocolate hugs to you, Dr Pat Felici

Nutrition - The Medicine of the Future

"Let food be thy medicine and let thy medicine be thy food"

--Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine (460-377 B.C.)

As we've depleted our soils, contaminated our waters and our air, degraded our food supply, and mistreated our bodies, we have created much of the disease that now plagues our lives.

As evidence continues to grow, we find that traditional medicine is not adequately helping with chronic degenerative diseases and the overall malaise affecting many people today.

"The Doctor of the future will give no drugs,
but will interest patients in the care of the human frame,
in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

-- Thomas Edison

How can I eat healthy????

* Don't skip meals.
* Eat real unprocessed foods.
* Get familiar with the foods that are compatible with your blood type.
* Eat as much  whole "live foods" as possible. (Remember that cooked, fried, microwaved, or frozen foods are "dead" and have no enzymes.)
* Eat balanced meals.
* Choose a protein as the main nutrient of your meal.  (A good portion would be one that is about the same size as the flat part of your hand)
* Add two healthy carbs such as non-starchy veggies, each the same portion size as your protein.
* Add healthy fats.
* Eat healthy snacks.
* Eat solid foods.  ie.  a fresh fruit is much better than fruit juice.
* Drink enough clean purified water. A good rule of thumb is to take your weight in pounds, divide by two. It is best to drink your water a half hour before meals or two hours later to avoid diluting gastric juices and enzymes needed to assure good digestion.
* Avoid:

1. Nicotine
2. Refined sugar
3. Artificial sweeteners
4. Ilicit drugs
5. MSG, preservatives
6. Fake fats
