Biochemical Balance & Sufficiency

Program Philosophy:
That the myriad of health problems that plague modern society result from weaknesses in the body’s  physiological foundations as a result of poor nutrition. As an education organization, NTA is dedicated to helping individuals and healthcare professionals understand and reverse the tragic and unsuspected effects of the modern diet on their patients and clients. Throughout our training programs and seminars, students access a wide range of education tools and connect nationally with other practitioners in the healing arts.

This is the program I personally trained with a few years back. I encourage ANYONE interested in learning how the body functions, why it often ceases to function, and how it can be brought back to proper functioning from a nutritional whole-health, whole-body perspective, to consider this program.

*Registration Deadline-September 14th — see below
Registration will close Monday September 14th.  TFC credit applications are due Tuesday September 7th.

A new must-read article has just been published at slate.com. It brings to light new and significant research that seriously calls into question the anti-fat orthodoxy of recent years. The idea that fat is “bad” is not settled science; in fact it’s just plain wrong.

Earlier we told you about a published article called Fat Is Where It’s At! detailing how the tide of opinion, both popular and scientific, has turned dramatically in favor of dietary fat. Now, a brand new article “End the War On Fat” is taking the next step and implicates excess carbohydrates in all the health crimes popularly blamed on fat!

It begins: “Thirty years ago, America declared war against fat. The inaugural edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published in 1980 and subsequently updated every five years, advised people to steer clear of ‘too much fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol,’ because of purported ties between fat intake and heart disease.”

Well, what of those purported ties? They don’t exist. Indeed, we learn details of the  latest findings suggesting that saturated fat is “heart neutral.” The article then asks: “If saturated fat doesn’t adversely affect cardiovascular health, what does? Sorry, Nabisco: We should be giving a closer look to foods with a high glycemic index—a measure that reflects a food’s influence on blood sugar levels, based on how quickly it is digested and absorbed. Typically, that means carbohydrates like cereal, bread, chips, and cookies.”  Read more...

I still like Whole Foods Market; I really do. But it is getting harder to say that and mean it. The recent decision by WFM to ban raw milk from its shelves has left a bad taste in my mouth and I literally think twice now before going. Oh they talk a great green story. Even their website is colored green. On that site is even a page called Green Action. On that page are found these telling words: “Wise moms everywhere remind us that actions speak louder than words. We can all talk about saving our planet but making those smart and sometimes challenging choices every day is what’s going to get the job done. We’ve been trying to make green choices since we opened our first store. We understand that companies can have a large impact on our environment.” Wow. I agree 100%.  But do they really mean it? Does WFM  know what they are saying and how starkly their ACTION of banning raw milk flatly contradicts their WORDS? Go back and read the words again. We’ve made them green so you can’t miss them. Now, think about those words and what they mean while you watch the following video made by a man and a company actually living those words, not just saying them.

Last summer I wrote here about WFM CEO John Mackey’s quickly famous words “we sell a lot of junk.” Since then, we have been waiting for the high-end natural foods store to clean up its act. We are still waiting. To this date, NOT GONE are the huge displays of candy when entering our local store (continues below…)

Also NOT GONE  is their sugar filled dessert bar, or the white flour pizza counter, or the prepared comfort foods many of which are made with canola oil (if YOU would like to know about the dangers of Canola oil, please read The Great Con-ola by Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enic, PhD).  And, very sadly, NOT GONE  is the enormous offering of alcoholic drinks. I could go on and on.

However, last week I noticed their display of organic grass fed sourced raw milk from the wonderful people at Organic Pastures was gone. This seemed strange. Then came this bit of news that WFM was pulling raw milk in four states. WFM talked of the need to develop raw milk “standards” with hints of bringing it back to the shelves in the near future..  Read more...

Introducing NTA’s Nutritional Therapist Training Program

The Nutritional Therapy Association offers an unusual and truly outstanding certification program. I trained with their program in 2007 and it exceeded my expectations in every way. For those of you who may wish to help others on a professional basis or perhaps who simply want to help yourselves and your family obtain better health, this program, based on the philosophy of the nutritional “greats” such as Weston Price and Francis Pottenger, is the most innovative, comprehensive and practical approach offered anywhere. It offers a complete system for evaluating and understanding the individual nutritional needs of ones body and how to address those needs.

Year-round classes begin throughout the United States in September,  but information about their special upcoming Winter program, including an introductory conference call being held on Thursday, January 21, is below.

What is the NTT program all about?

The NTT program is unique because it’s based on a foundational approach to nutrition. We offer specific tools for assessing the body’s nutritional deficiencies and will teach you how to address those weaknesses through diet, supplements and lifestyle changes. In addition to our foundational approach, the NTT program emphasizes three additional perspectives:  Read more...

Remember this recent video of the good Dr. so arrogantly admonishing us to get our damn flu vaccines?

MSNBC drops Dr. Nancy daytime show.  What a loss; sigh.
