Detoxify Your Body — Because if You Don't, You Will Lose Significant Quality of Life.

Question: How long would you run your car with water, metal shavings, sand or sugar in the gas tank, knowing that the longer it ran with those damaging elements going through the engine, the more likely that serious, life-shortening engine damage would occur?

Answer: Not very long... meaning we need to get damaging elements out of our bodies quickly. Next to burning the correct fuel, keeping toxins out of our body is the most important thing we can do to extend our health and longevity.

Having internally clean cells, bloodstream, lymph fluids and gastrointestinal tract is for "long-term strategists".

Internal human body cleanliness is for those who use logic to implement habits that will produce a high-quality to their lives over the next 20, 40, 80 or more years of future living.

Internal cleanliness is not important for those whose decision making processes are focused primarily on the next few hours, days or weeks. That's why strategists who can correlate current actions to future consequences outlive non-strategists by a decade or two.

Strategy, planning and daily actions are the key to success in everything, especially health! Small and simple things determine large outcomes in life!

Both for automobiles and people, cleanliness of the internals is paramount for achieving optimal functioning and longevity.

Many people imagine the worst when they start to forget things several times a day. It might be comforting for these people to know that memory lapse episodes may actually have a cause (toxicity) that can be reduced or eliminated. In other words, you are probably not getting senile, Alzheimer's or Dementia. Instead, your brian tissue is being being poisoned by toxins. So, we suggest you take action to reduce the toxins and improve your memory.

toxic baby Newborn babies today can have toxic loads at birth that exceed the accumulated toxic load of old people of generations past. The reason is the high level of toxins in the food, water, air and toiletries today. The high toxic load of a young mother today means that those toxins will pass into the fetus from the mother's body. Although not yet proven, the environmental toxic load going into a fetus combined with toxins in early childhood vaccinations is what many people now believe to be the true cause of autism in children.

Panic attacks, especially agoraphobia (or sudden panic attacks in stores, malls, offices or when driving a car) are often considered to be a psychological disorder, but may actually be the result of chemical exposure.

In panic attacks, the body perceives a dangerous situation — that is really just an internal toxin — and the sympathetic nervous system signals the adrenals to secrete adrenaline to prepare for a fight or flight situation. The rush of adrenaline what is perceived as a feeling of panic.

Although toxins take decades to deteriorate the cells of the body enough to cause serious disease and death, there are many warning signs that toxins are doing their job of undermining your health slowly. These warning signs include:

Brain fog and difficulty in completing projects, concentrating, making decisions, remembering appointments, or problem solving, or a feeling of spaciness.
Headaches, head pressure or stiff neck or back can be caused by chemicals affecting the meningeal system.
Sunlight sensitivity - do you feel that you can't go outside without sunglasses?
Sensitivity to sounds - do you feel that some noises are too loud or that you experience difficulty concentrating with a radio playing?
Sensitivity to certain penetrating smells - Cologne, diesel fumes, and paint seem to bother you more than they bother most people. Colognes may smell like bug spray, as a chemically overloaded person is often more sensitive to the penetrant used in both cologne and insecticide.
Sensitivity to cigarette smoke, dust, or grass may indicate a fungus infection secondary to chemical exposure.

Detoxify or Deteriorate and Die

Toxins damage our cells and tissues and/or impede normal biological activities. The effect of toxins is cumulative. Therefore, toxins must be routinely removed from the body so that inflammation, irritation, repeated damage, inhibited processes, high levels of internal stress can end and healing and normal, healthy biology can proceed.

In other words, toxins will stop you from having a long, productive, healthy, and quality type of life. They will destroy you over time. Some of the health-reducing toxins that people have in their bodies include:

Living pathogens and parasites that try to inhabit our bodies — bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycoplasmas, flukes, worms, amoebas, etc.
Chemicals such as insecticides, nitrogen, halogenated hydrocarbons, and more more — commonly found in cleaners, paints, industrial and home use products.
Self-produced free radicals — IE, those resulting from one's normal metabolism. Coincident to making energy, mitochondria release trillions of free radicals into the body each day.
Bromine and fluorine — commonly found in baked goods, water and pesticides.
Heavy metals such as aluminum, asbestos, cadmium, lead and mercury — commonly found in dental metals, cooking-ware and vaccines.
Biological toxins, alcohols, etc. — created by living entities, bacteria or fungi.

Freedom from Internal Toxicity is the Next Frontier in Health!

Being Internally Clean Requires Daily Vigilance. The reward of daily vigilance is Several Decades Extra of Healthy Life!

Cleanliness — Externally and Internally — Is To Be Aspired To

Sanitation, or cleanliness of our homes, food and water supply, is the single greatest health advancement that mankind has made in all of recorded history. Sanitation put an end to devastating health plagues of past centuries. In point of fact, the practices of external cleanliness — having clean municipal water, garbage removal from living spaces, sewage treatment and the washing of food and hands have saved more lives than all the world’s doctors, medicines, hospitals and medical procedures combined.

Internal cleanliness Is Also Important.

Toxic elements inside the body are worse than those outside the body. Many cutting-edge health practitioners declare that clean blood and clean intestines are the most important factors behind quality of life and longevity. So, in today's pervasively toxic world, we need to strive for cleanliness of both the external and internal. This will require vigilance regarding everything that goes into our body.

And beyond that type of vigilance, since we know we will fail to prevent the entrance of some of those toxic elements, we need to routinely have a habit of continuously removing toxicity from our bodies or it will accumulate to levels that will deteriorate our health.

Trying to Avoid Toxins Is Good, But No One Can Do This Perfectly

Even with our best efforts toxins will get into our bodies. It's impossible to avoid metabolic free-radicals and it's very difficult to avoid atmospheric pollutants from car exhaust and industrial pollution or chemicals in potable water or food colorings, agrochemicals, additives and preservatives in our food.
To get these toxins out we have to detoxify at a cellular level, a lymphatic level and a gastrointestinal level.

Below is a list of the essential to dos for staying clean internally:

Below, we describe the many ways you can help ensure your body stays detoxified. Click on each "to-do" in the below list and make as many of them as possible into a habit.

Maintain High Levels of Iodine in Your Cells

Iodine is the Gate Keeper to Our Cells

Every cell in the body is like a walled city and Iodine is like the gate keeper that opens the gate to allow nutrients in and toxins out!
Because of Iodine's role in allowing nutrients, hormones and toxins in or out of cell walls, iodine is essential to many cellular processes. Beyond its gate keeper role, iodine is involved in hormone creation and immune system component production lines. Iodine boosts immune function, it is germicidal – antibiotic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and anti-cancer.

Most people are deficient in Iodine.

As important as Iodine is, up to 98 percent of people in America are deficient in Iodine. As important as iodine is to health, it's under-supplied in all but 2 percent of Americans — the low level of Iodine in most people should be a “sound-the-alarm” topic.
Low Iodine is believed by many to be a big contributor to Autism and Asperger's since without sufficient iodine, toxins don't leave nerve and brain cells. No woman should become pregnant until she has saturated her body with Iodine so that the baby will have the best chance of not being damaged by toxins.

Iodine Helps Push Bromine and Chlorine Out of Cells

Upon entering a human cell, Iodine immediately increases the rate of excretion of numerous toxic elements, including bromine, fluorine, mercury and lead. Bromine (bromide) and Fluorine (fluoride) cannot be removed by any other detoxifying or chelation technique. Iodine is the only way to get these harmful elements out of the body. It should be noted that bromine and fluorine will always concentrate in cells whenever there is insufficient Iodine to keep them out. Obviously, this is bad because, beyond a very tiny amount, Bromine and fluorine are toxic in all soft tissues of the body.
Florine especially concentrates in the Thyroid gland and the Pineal Gland, with the following harmful consequences to one’s life:
- The Thyroid gland is responsible for directing energy production throughout the body and when the Thyroid is disrupted with fluorine, the body’s energy levels are reduced.
- Fluorine also concentrates in the Pineal Gland, which is responsible for intuition, spiritual feelings and connectedness with others and sleep (produces Melatonin).
- Some believe that a lack of Iodine in the diet (Iodine is now almost totally gone from our soils) is responsible for increasing social problems and lessened spirituality, as well as an inability of many to sleep well.

Atomic Iodine is Instantly Absorbed

Keeping the body well supplied with Iodine is an important way to to prevent problems in regard to pervasive toxicity, optimal hormone communication, energy, body temperature, and normal social behavior.
Although there are numerous beneficial Iodine supplements, we particularly recommend an atomic iodine known as Magnascent Iodine. It is not an iodine compound (some people are allergic to iodine compounds), but is elemental iodine that the body utilizes without conversion, and therefore, instantly begins working.
Please note that when supplementing with Iodine (and saturating one’s cells with Iodine), it is recommended to ensure adequate supplies of magnesium, selenium, sodium and a variety of antioxidants. The reason is that the flushing of bromine, fluorine and other toxins from the body are likely to create very uncomfortable reactions and free radical overloads, which the magnesium, selenium, sodium and antioxidants can reduce. E7 is a good source of Selenium. A quarter-teaspoon a day of sodium bicarbonate or table salt, plus a few sprays of Magnesium oil will supply the needed sodium and magnesium. These things help reduce the amount of “exit damage” caused by toxins.

How to take Magnascent Iodine

Iodine is almost always missing from the American soil and American food, so supplementing is a must for most people who want to stay optimally healthy. The average adult (160 pounds) needs 1 to 2 drops of Magnascent Iodine daily in order for his or her iodine level to not go down.

For maintenance: take 3 drops daily or 30 drops once a week
For those with depleted levels of iodine, we recommend increasing the dosage gradually to avoid too rapid detoxing. A schedule like the following might be appropriate (adjust as needed):
- Start with 1 drop daily
- Add 1 drop daily until reaching 30 drops daily
- Then go back to 1 drop, but do it twice daily
- Add 1 drop do your twice daily regiment until reaching 30 drops twice a day
- Stay at that dosing level for up to one year to saturate your body with iodine
- Also, supplement with magnesium, selenium and sodium to maximize iodine benefits

Maintain High Levels of Magnesium!

There is Something Magnificent about Magnesium!

Magnesium is critical to healthy in many ways (Magnesium ions regulate over 300 biochemical reactions in the body through their role as enzyme co-factors). Magnesium is highly involved in many detoxification pathways.

After Iodine, magnesium is next on the list in importance for enabling maximum cellular detoxification. It needs to always be available to one’s cells. Here's how magnesium works to detoxify the cells:

Magnesium stimulates the sodium potassium pump on the cell wall which regulates intracellular electrolyte levels and the intake of nutrients and elimination of waste products, including elimination of heavy metals.
Glutathione is the master toxin binding molecule that the body makes and uses to keep itself clear itself of toxins. Without Magnesium, Glutathione won’t be made — and without Glutathione, free radicals will buildup within one’s cells. So, since Glutathione production is dependent on having available magnesium, we should all sure that our body has plenty of Magnesium.

When our bodies are replete with magnesium we are much more protected from heavy metal deposition than without that magnesium, and we are also being protected from the development of associated neurological diseases.

If You're Low in Magnesium, You'll be High in Brain Toxins

As Dr. Carolyn Dean explains, “Research indicates that ample magnesium will protect brain cells from the damaging effects of aluminum, beryllium, cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel. We also know that low levels of brain magnesium contribute to the deposition of heavy metals in the brain that heralds Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. It appears that the metals compete with magnesium for entry into the brain cells. If magnesium is low, metals gain access much more readily… There is also competition in the small intestine for absorption of minerals. If there is enough magnesium, aluminum won’t be absorbed.

”Magnesium deficiency is endemic in our modern world, with 70% of people estimated to be deficient in Magnesium. That’s why Magnesium supplementation comes right after Iodine supplementation as the most important factor for keeping an internally clean body.

There is as much as a 500-fold difference in the ability among individuals to detoxify the same chemicals or radiation as well in a person with ample magnesium as compared to one with very little magnesium. Deficiencies in magnesium greatly lower the body’s ability to detoxify and chelate heavy metals and radioactive particles.

So, simply put, if you’re low in magnesium, you will be high in toxins. Two great sources of Magnesium include Ace Ormus and Kona Deep Sea Minerals.

It's best to intake "magnesium", either as magnesium-rich foods or as supplements — multiple times a day not just once in the morning.

Move Your Lymph Daily

The More Often Your Lymph Moves the Cleaner (Internally) You'll Be

Lymph is a colorless plasma (fluid) that constantly moves past the cells of the body and collects and transports one’s cellular garbage to organs in the body where the garbage can be taken out of the lymph and disposed. These garbage removal organs are the lymph nodes, liver and kidneys. The cleansed lymph fluid then goes back to the heart to become part of blood plasma and repeat the cycle of being pushed out to the cells to go collect more garbage. Lymph is so important to human health that it has a total volume in the body that is three times greater than the amount of blood residing in the circulatory veins, arteries and capillaries of the body.

The sewage carried by lymph away from the cells is comprised of the byproducts of cellular metabolism, as well as toxins in the food we have eaten, pesticides, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, illicit drugs, cigarette toxins, airborne pollutants, the living and dead bodies of pathogens, and other toxins. The lymphatic system, or lymph system includes one’s lymph nodes, the spleen, thymus gland, tonsils, lymph glands (where lymph is made) and the lymph fluid itself.

Despite the fact that there is three times more lymph fluid than blood in the circulatory systems of our bodies, there is no organ to pump lymph through the body like the heart does for blood. The main way to move and clean lymph is via body movements or massage so that motion or friction pressure pushes lymph through the lymph valves, drainage and cleansing systems.

It is estimated that 80% of everyone has a sluggish lymph system, meaning that their lymph hardly moves at all. Thus, otherwise hygienic human beings (who wash the outsides of their bodies religiously, and maintain spotlessly clean kitchens and bathrooms, while giving no attention to their lymphatic systems), are living in internal filth despite their exterior cleanliness. That internal filth detrimentally affects quality of life and lifespan.

Here are the main ways to keep your lymph moving:

Breathe deeply. Your lymph system relies on body movement for transporting lymph toxins into the blood so that they can be detoxified and removed from the body by your liver and kidneys. So breathe deeply which expands the upper torso and moves lymph from the neck to the navel into lymph nodes and into the blood and to the heart.
Move your lower extremities and shoulders. Large movements of the body’s major bones and muscles also ensures that the lymph flows (properly) to take garbage away from cells. The best kind of movement (in terms of both effectiveness and safety) is rebounding on a mini trampoline, which can dramatically improve lymph flow in just twenty minutes, but stretching and aerobic exercise also do this job.
Gentle massage, including dry brush massage and salt rubs are also helpful. They have been shown to move as much as 78% of stagnant lymph back into circulation. Make sure the massage is gentle, as painful massage is less likely to move lymph.
Sauna or hot baths or showers combined with cold showers also help to move lymph because warmth makes lymph vessels expand and cold makes them contract, helping to squeeze lymph and encourage it to move. (Avoid temperature extremes if you have heart conditions or are pregnant).
Use whole body vibrators to cause movement of lymph. The mechanical motion causes the lymph to move.
Use electronic stimulation with instruments such as the BEMER to get the lymph moving

Maintain High Levels of Sulfur in Your Cells

Even Slight Reductions in the Amount of Sulfur in the Body Interfere with Human Health and Especially With Detoxification

To most people, sulfur is merely the smell of rotten cabbage or eggs. Most people don’t think of sulfur when they think of being clean internally. The truth is, however, that sulfur deficiency can have a very big impact on the body’s ability to detoxify harmful chemicals. Here's how sulfur works to keep us clean internally:

Sulfur compounds bind with environmental chemicals so that they don't do damage to our cells, hanging onto them until eventually they are carried out of the body within stool or urine. Sulfur is especially good at doing this with mercury, barium and aluminum.
Sulfur is essential for the production of the protective molecule, Metallothionein, produced mostly in our intestines. Metallotheionein binds with mercury and other toxic metals that enter our digestive tract resulting in its excretion.
Sulfur is needed to create and regulate the activity of many important enzymes that cleanse our bodies by breaking down wastes.
Sulfur helps to maintain the integrity of cell membranes, and gastrointestinal linings which produce both enzymes and transport molecules that move toxins into detoxification pathways.
Sulfur is an ingredient for forming glutathione, which is a very powerful antioxidant for detoxifying free radicals. Glutathione also optimizes the function of other antioxidants in our body and is nicknamed "the master antioxidant".
Sulfur is required for the detoxification pathways of the liver, which is a key detoxifying organ. One of the major pathways is called cytochrome P450 (if you want to do further research).
Sulfur is important for energy production and insulin function. Both of these are needed for detoxification processes to occur.
Although inflammation is the result of toxicity and not the lack of sulfur, there is much evidence to suggest that sulfur and glutathione work collaboratively with other minerals, fatty acids and vitamins in many healing processes throughout the body. In particular, they (sulfur and glutathione) help our body to make prostaglandins, which reduce inflammation.

Sources of Nutritional Sulfur

The body has a limited ability to store excess sulfur. Unused sulfur is either used to make glutathione or sent out of the body via the urine. In other words, we need plenty of daily dietary sulfur intake to maintain adequate detoxification activity! These are some excellent sulfur sources:

Protein foods such as beef, poultry, fish and eggs are rich in sulfur. Sulfur is also found in smaller quantities within certain plant foods including garlic, onion, legumes, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and kale.
Some berries, figs, pineapple, grapefruit and banana contain minor amounts of sulfur. Dandelion greens, chives, parsley, Brazil nuts and kelp are other sources.
An excellent source is Organic Sulfur powder. Just take one or teaspoons per day, either spooning directly in the mouth or mixed in any liquid.

Maintain High Levels of Choline in Your Cells

Get Rid of the Pathogens Living Inside You!

You Need to Constantly Detoxify Your Body of Pathogens!

pathogens after me Pathogens (parasites, pathogenic bacteria, mycoplasmas, fungi and viruses) cause untold uffering and deaths — despite antibiotics because pathogens have learned to live subversively, below the radar.

Ask people who have experienced MRSA, black mold, Lyme’s bacteria, energy-sapping parasites, or acute influenza and cold viruses how much good medicines did for them? Many will tell you the medicines did almost nothing or gave more side-effects than benefits. Smart" pathogens make people's lives miserable across the globe unless you know the habits that outmaneuver them.

Even the common cold virus has a cost to the U.S. of 25 billion dollars annually in direct medical costs and lost productivity because medicines don't curtail the cold virus. The only thing that can really make a difference are safeguarding habits.

Much of the time when a person doesn’t feel "right”, it’s because of microorganisms that have invaded his or her body and are multiplying in the sinuses, gastrointestinal tract or bloodstream.
If the direct suffering caused by pathogens isn't enough, the internal stress from pathogens can cause sleeping problems and a reduction in immune strength that can allow cancer to grow when if the immune system was stronger it wouldn't have done so.
Microorganisms create a paradox for us because modern medicine can kill some of them — but only with “cell damaging” medicines (antibiotics, antivirals and anti-fungals). That means that these medicines aren’t worth taking unless the pathogens reach the levels in the body where they are doing more damage than the medicine will do.
And in some cases, modern medicines aren’t up to the task of killing certain pathogens. They just don't help much with viral infections (colds, Herpes), Lyme’s Disease, MRSA, black Mold, Flesh Eating Bacteria and they have bad side-effects.

Thankfully, there is much that one can do preemptively via habits that essentially say to pathogens, "Not in my body, you won't". Keeping toxins and pathogens out of the human body is the last frontier in health. It is challenging because many pathogens (the most successful ones) try to “hide” quietly in our blood stream, tissues and intestines... escaping notice even with blood tests... and just making us miserable.

How to Get and Keep Pathogens Out Your Body!

The key is having daily habits that help eradicate pathogens before they take up permanent residence in the body. Once pathogens change their status from having a visitor visa to being permanent residents, they camouflage themselves and release chemicals that suppress the immune system so that immune soldiers have a harder time to locate and kill them. Thankfully, when pathogens first enter our bodies, they are vulnerable and that's the time to fight them hard.

Here's the habits we recommend to help expel and destroy pathogens before they get "residence status":

Prevent Pathogens from multiplying in your lungs, throat, and sinuses (these are major entry way into the body for pathogens):
- Each night rinse your sinuses, with a Netti-pot and saline solution, or even better with a teaspoon of Silver-Biotics. This will reduce pathogen populations in the sinuses so that those bugs don't go into the lungs during the night.
- Afterwards, each night gargle with two teaspoons of Silver-Biotics so that pathogens don't go down your throat in your lungs during the night.
- Anytime, that you experience the slightest, slightest cough, or even preemptively if you have the feeling to do so, you may wish to nebulize BION silver or Silver Biotics into your lungs. Just use a half-teaspoon and nebulize for 5 or 10 minutes. This will help deactivate pathogens in the lungs so they don't multiply there.

Don't Let Pathogens Live in Your Stomach (If your digestive juices become weak, pathogens will live in your stomach (especially the upper part), crawl up into the espohogus, cause heartburn, Barret's, ulcers, intestinal issues, and poor digestion.):
- Take Cleanzym daily to boost your digestive abilities. This supplement will increase your production of gastric juices and enzymes and literally digest pathogens that enter your body with food or drink.
- Also, take an ounce of Silver Biotics daily on an empty stomach (doesn't have to stay empty very long) to help deactivate any pathogens in the stomach.

Don't Let Pathogens Live in Your Intestines or Blood Stream (many pathogens, especially parasites and fungi will survive digestive juices and travel into the intestines and take up residence there, and perforate intestinal linings and move into the blood stream. — Don't let them stay.):
- Take Body Biotics daily (to occupy the intestines so that pathogens have no place to implant). This is like keeping your lawn planted with good grass seed so weeds don't have a place to start growing.
- Take Paragon every few months. This supplement will help expel or destroy parasites in the intestinal tract. It is Dr. William R. Kellas's (of the Center for Advanced Medicine) most advanced formulation for controlling parasites.
- Take Mal-X in one of two ways, either daily or, occasionally. When taken daily, TAKE one capsule in the morning and one capsule in the evening. The purpose is to help keep pathogens from multiplying in the bloodstream. When taken occasionally, take three to five capsules in the morning and three to five capsules in the evening. This protocol's goal is to help the immune system eradicate a large population of pathogens living in the bloodstream.

Internal sanitation is best accomplished in a few important ways: 1. The first way is through the consumption of beneficial bacteria called probiotics. These organisms, from fermented foods and especially soil based organisms from garden soil next to plant roots, help eat up the mucoidal gel that tends to coat intestinal walls (and which is the preferred living space of many pathogens) and they oppose the colonization of the gastrointestinal tract by pathogens (in much the same way that having a lawn planted with grass occupies soil space so that weeds are less likely to be able to implant and grow). 2. Secondly, one should consume digestive bitters and herbs that stimulate production of gastric juices. The gastric juices will kill pathogens entering through the stomach (with food). 3. Third, one should eat enzymes (from food or supplements). Enzymes (just as they do in a septic tank) will eat up the mucoidal gel that adheres to intestinal walls, and which is the preferred living environment of pathogens. 4. Periodically, one should do a Parasite Cleanse. Having parasites in the gastrointestinal tract is like having powerful, large bacteria or fungi living there. They damage the intestinal wall and toxify the whole body. Parasites should be killed periodically (twice per year). 5. Periodically, do a Bacteria and Virus Cleanse (some people do this almost constantly) with products such as Anolyte, Nano-sized silver, Aloe Vera, MAL-X, etc.

Why is Being a Fat Burner So Important?

Burning fuel (either fat or sugar) to create energy in our cellular mitochondria (power generating organelles) is necessary to life, but, also, destructive to our mitochondria — by releasing free radicals (oxidants) that do damage to our mitochondria and cells. This is very similar to how burning gasoline in an automobile engine is necessary, but destructive to the engine of the automobile (by releasing heat). Fat burns more efficiently than sugar. In fact, for the same amount of free radicals released, you can get twice as much energy from fat as from sugar. That means that being in the fat burning mode instead of the sugar burning mode will "age" you much more slowly than being in the sugar burning mode. In other words, at age 70 chronically, you can feel and look decades younger if you had been a fat burner your whole life.
Fat burners get to avoid most of the problems typically associated with high blood sugar, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, joint pain, etc. Having a life more free of pain and discomfort is the main reason a person should want to be a fat burner.

Tricks of the Fat Burning Way of Life —

Secrets Regarding the Kind of Life That Ensures Fat Burning

A human body burns fat or burns sugar in its cells based on lifestyle and food choices. Technically, whether a person functions in a sugar burning mode or in a fat burning mode depends on the condition of one's Hypothalamus and how much Leptin (messenger molecule made in fat cells) is in one's blood and how much Insulin is in one's blood.
People who are fat burners have low Leptin levels, low Insulin levels and a Hypothalamus gland that is sensitive to Leptin. They live longer and have less inflammation and disease.
People who are sugar burners have high Leptin levels, high Insulin levels and a Hypothalamus gland that is insensitive to Leptin. They have higher levels of blood sugar, free radicals and inflammation. They will have a reduced longevity and much more incidence of disease conditions.
The main secret, therefore, of the fat burning lifestyle is maintaining low blood sugar. In addition to a lifestyle of eating foods that don't raise the blood sugar (or immediately burning of the blood sugar with exercise), this kind of lifestyle includes not going to bed with significant amounts of food in the stomach, which would cause elevated blood sugar, elevated Leptin and fat storage during the night. Here's the salient points:

Eat meals that don't spike blood sugar. Such meals consist mostly of healthy fats, proteins and non-starchy vegetables. That means uncooked, non-starchy, non-sweet vegetables and sprouts are great to eat in virtually unlimited amounts. Also, uncooked, undamaged, unsaturated fats would be great to eat.
Sleep sufficiently. The body uses sleep to repair itself and clear Leptin from the blood.
Fast 13 to 20 hours daily. Having 13 to 20 hours daily of no eating time (including sleep time) is about the most powerful thing one can do to reset metabolic systems. 13 hours is doable for anyone, but longer times are difficult.
Exercise daily. Exercise is very helpful for establishing the fat burning mode, by helping to keep blood sugar very low, which keeps Leptin production low and forces fat burning to occur. Exercise should be significant enough to promote deep breathing and should continue for 30 minutes or more in order to ensure that the body enters a fat burning mode. (When all blood sugars are used up, the body must burn fat to continue its exertions.) The graph below shows the effect of exercise duration in terms of stimulating fat burning.
Lastly, repairing damaged Hypothalamic sensors (the ones that detect Leptin) can be critical for quickly moving from sugar burning mode to fat burning mode. Two supplements that help repair these sensors include: Embla Arginine and Risotriene.
