What is the leading cause of prostate swelling?

Estrogen saturation in the body which cannot be processed effectively by your liver.

How does estrogen enter your body?

Estrogen can come into the body via walking on grass (from the fertilizer and herbicides), municipal water (estrogen from chemicals and the urine of those on estrogen medications), soy, eating canned food (the lining is sourced from BPA a resin with estrogen), and consuming foods which are not organic (which have been in contact with toxic chemicals or xenohormones).

What are the body signals of an enlarged prostate?

Frequent night time urination which would be two or more times per evening depending on the volume of fluid intake. Also, an incomplete voiding of urine; which means after you finish urinating, there seems to be a bit more.

What tests can help detect an enlarged prostate?

A physical exam with the insertion of the physicians finger into the rectum and palpating the prostate; it should not be large or tender.

What blood test may assist in prostate health?

The PSA test which measures enzymes, is a screentest, but can sometimes be inconclusive. We have used this test to help follow the results of protocols for the prostate gland health. Levels of PSA can be increased depending on sexual activity and exercise.

What protocol can be used to help the prostate?

We use a liver support to clear estrogen in the body, and also a variety of products to reduce prostate size; it is best to be assessed prior to taking any supplements.

Are their specific products for prostate health?

We use a variety of natural products which support the health of all structures which may in fact create prostate stress: liver support, prostate support, B Vitamins to clear estrogen and estrogen clearing agents.

Are there symptoms associated with elevated cholesterol?

Typically, elevated cholesterol does not manifest in actual symptoms per se, but you may notice elevated skin areas below the eyes which are called xanthomas—they may be yellow in color.

What is a normal cholesterol number?

I personally like to see cholesterol between 200 and 225. Cholesterol over 250, with an elevated triglyceride test (blood fat), is a body signal the cholesterol may be elevated from eating sugar or refined grains. A cholesterol level over 250 with a normal to elevated HDL may be due to the patient exercising. Exercise increases your HDL which has been known at good cholesterol.

What is HDL cholesterol?

HDL cholesterol is considered the good cholesterol because repairs tissue in your body, while some believe is scavenges LDL cholesterol.

What is LDL cholesterol?

LDL cholesterol is considered the bad cholesterol since it tends to be elevated with vascular or heart disease. I notice elevated LDL levels in those individuals who are inflamed and do not have enough oil to put their “fire” out.

What actually raises cholesterol—is it cheese, eggs or meat?

Cholesterol is the building block for many other hormones in the body which are needed for pain relief, sugar use, joint strength, sexual hormonal function and many more areas. Cholesterol may elevate because of stress, low thyroid, a diet focused on purely foods which cause inflammation (sugar), and trans fat.

How can I lower cholesterol naturally?

There are many ways to manage cholesterol. First, determining the reason why your cholesterol is elevated is important; cholesterol can be lowered by limiting or avoiding foods which cause inflammation like sugar and trans fat. Beet and apple fiber are food choices that can lower cholesterol up to 40%. Having proper thyroid function can also lower your cholesterol.

What tests are used to determine cholesterol health?  

There are several tests you can request. A cardiac profile typically has HDL, LDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol.  The marker is LDL and triglycerides. If they are elevated, I sense the patient may be eating sweets or fruit, both of which can increase the inflammation potential in the vascular system resulting in a response to increase the production of cholesterol, which is used to create cortisone “to put the fire out”.

Do you have white spots on your nails?

White spots on your nails suggest a zinc deficiency. Zinc is a necessary co-factor for tissue healing.

Do you have a night time cough?

Night coughs may be a body signal of parasite activity. Disruptions to your immune system is commonly caused by dysbiosis (abnormal gut flora—the immune system’s foundation is also found in the intestine). Parasites disrupt the flora in your body.

How often do you have a bowel movement?

The colon is home to your enteric nervous system, which shares a network with the lymphatic system. Daily, consistent bowel movements are critically important for a strong immune system. Subpar thyroid function, low water intake and minimal vegetable consumption are factors resulting in sluggish colon movement.

Do you eat sushi, wild game, pork or have a cat?

Parasites are commonly found in individuals who eat sushi, wild game and pork, routinely visit a third-world country, and those who have a cat. Parasites create immune system distress. A colon stool culture helps identify parasites. A CBC with a differential with a high or low white blood cells (WBC) and or elevated monocyte level may suggest a parasite issue.

Do you chew your nails?

People who chew their nails tend to need minerals. Minerals are co-factors needed for a strong immune system. Other factors for nail chewing include stress.

Do you smoke cigarettes, pipe or cigars?

Any kind of tobacco depletes your body of sulfur and vitamin C; both are needed to maintain optimal tissue health and a strong immune system. Tobacco users tend to heal slower than those who do not partake.

How much sugar do you eat?

Sugar consumption paralyzes your immune system and is one of the reasons we see so many “sick” people after a holiday with a sugar or treat focus.

Does bright light bother your eyes?

Light sensitivity is a marker for adrenal fatigue- one of your immune system glands.

Is peanut butter on your menu two or three times a week?

Peanuts tend to have mold on them and those who have chronic sinus issues often consume peanut butter.

Do you have toe nail and or finger nail fungus?

Fungus growth on any nail—toe or finger is a body signal of a colon toxicity. Your colon is a very important player for a strong immune system.

Do you drink soda?

Soda is loaded with ingredients which compromise optimal function. Caramel coloring is typically sourced from caramel which is sourced from barley a source of gluten. Gluten impairs function of the immune system by interrupting mineral absorption.

How much alcohol do you consume?

Alcohol sabotages your liver; macrophages or fighter cells in the liver help clean up unwanted organisms, bacteria and viruses.

Last week I was in the Dominican Republic for #1Nation1Day and one of our team members had severe pain for many years. She lists all of the medications and treatments she has been on and endured. Click to watch her story about how chiropractic made vast improvements in only a few days. (This is for any of your friends or family who might think what we do is a little ‘kooky’). 

Next, I had a couple drive 500 MILES after watching me on “Marilyn & Sarah” for help on a condition other notable doctors were unable to find the root problem.

Our next guest was on blood pressure medication, which caused dehydration, but since he became a practice member, he has lost twenty pounds and is off ALL meds!

Lastly, has a doctor ever told you that you needed to have surgery? One of my practice members had elbow pain causing severe discomfort that he had scheduled his elbow surgery but decided to come and visit our practice. The rest they say, is history:

I am an avid people watcher and observe daily that people come in all shapes and sizes. I have recently noticed visible patterns of fat distribution on the bodies of people who have various organs that are toxic, overloaded and burned out. The following are the most common body types for both genders, with men tending to have the “toxic liver” body type most often. There is a quiz at the bottom, add those scores up to help determine if you have one of these body types.

The Thyroid Type

Some people carry their weight all over the body, which suggests thyroid gland distress. These individuals might also have cold hands and feet, high cholesterol and be constipated. Their estrogen (in males, too) may be elevated. Whether they are natural or sourced from chemicals, high estrogen levels impair thyroid function and congest the liver/gallbladder relationship, resulting in a stagnant gallbladder bile flow and congestion.

The Adrenal Type

Your adrenals supply many critical hormones for our existence, one of which is cortisol. When you are under stress, your cortisol levels are up and you will have a tendency for the carbohydrates you eat to be converted to body fat. Practice members of mine who are stressed and eating a lot of carbohydrates and stimulants tend to have more of their extra tissue hanging around as a “spare tire” around the waist–the adrenal pattern.

The Liver Type

Intentional or unaware consumption of toxic food and drink, including artificial sweeteners, taste enhancers, preservatives and even prescription medications, can overload your liver-detoxification system. Someone who has a huge protruding belly with “humpty-dumpty” bean-pole legs will generally have a liver that has expanded and is in a compromised state and currently not working to its full potential.

The Estrogen-Saturation Type

One body shape I am beginning to see more of in males of all ages is literally the “female body type” that can develop at any age once the secondary male sexual characteristics appear. I have observed that men today over 55 often have more estrogen in their system than their female mates of the same age do. This is a real travesty, the extent of which very few realize.

It’s important to identify your body type, especially if you would like to lose weight, more of this in my “Men’s Health-The Basics” Chapter Six. For the BODY TYPE QUIZ, circle the answer that best fits you. If you experience more than one symptom, circle the one that is most prominent.

Tally up your results and look at the organ or gland correlation. If you have several points in all or even one of the areas, you need to get that area under control. Any of the glands, when fatigued or compromised, can sabotage your ability to lose weight and keep it off. Weight loss is almost certainly one of the chief obstacles strangling every facet of our existence and negatively impacting our society today.
