America's Polluted Diet

by Peter Greenlaw and Dr. Dennis Harper, DO

Warning from Dr. Lisa:
This will make you angry. In fact, I have worse statsitics that will make you sicker. If the Inuits at the North Pole have jet fuel in their breast milk, it is in your blood stream, too. If raising sick animals is more profitable than logical farming methods, just remember you are eating it. But, we can combat the toxic war constantly bombarded at us by igniting our natural detoxing mechanisms. Please keep reading to learn how.

Another failed diet. Unfortunately, those words ring hollow and true for many Americans who are left wondering why diets consistently fail them.

There are many answers to this question, but a primary reason is the polluted world in which we live. Major studies conducted by Mount Sinai Medical School and National Geographic have shown that our bodies are storing pollution, acid and impurities in fat cells. The more impurities we ingest, the more fat cells our bodies create. This is one of the main reasons why over 75 percent of America is overweight, and why 3 million Americans weigh over 500 pounds.

The answer would seem to be a diet with the proper amount of nutrition – eat healthy and cleanse the body. However, in order for the body to naturally cleanse itself of impurities, it needs proper nutrients that contain trace minerals (by ingesting trace minerals and rare earth elements in a high nutrition diet, enzymes can more rapidly break down food and cleanse the body). The problem with this solution is that there are no more trace minerals in our food.

In a report to the US Senate in 1936, it was reported that American soil had become “almost void of trace minerals” due to the use of pesticides and herbicides, and the fact that farmers no longer rotated their fields. Today, in 2009, the problem has only been exacerbated, and America is considered to be the most overfed and undernourished society on the planet. In fact, our food supply is so nutritionally bankrupt that it would take about 12 apples in 2009 to equal the nutrition in just one apple from 1976. The nutrition in a bowl of spinach from 1957 requires 51 bowls of spinach in 2009.

It’s with this dilemma in mind that 21st century thinking is taking over when it comes to nutritional health. Scientists, doctors, health advocates and other health professionals are backing the attributes of nutritional cleansing, a viable option that is rapidly gaining momentum among people who want a new way to lose weight and achieve overall wellness in their bodies. They are discovering the benefits of flooding their body with massive amounts of nutrients, trace minerals, fats and proteins, leaving the body satisfied without having to overindulge on food.

While trendy diets and dramatic steps such as stomach stapling continue to be the solutions people are turn to for their weight and health problems, nutritional science is an option that cannot be overlooked. As people become more aware of the value of nutritional cleansing, it’s likely the choice they’ll make to lose weight, gain energy and improve their lifestyle.

Peter Greenlaw and Dr. Harper have spent the past several years researching nutritional science and the health benefits of nutritional cleansing. They are both considered experts on the subject.
