Teach Your Kids Good Eating Habits Early, Before Its Too Late.

2010-02-27T09:00:00.000-05:00

By teaching your children healthy eating habits you can keep them at a healthy weight. Also, the eating habits your children learn when they are young will help them maintain a healthy lifestyle when they are adults.

Child discipline tactics

Discipline is the process of teaching your child what type of behaviour is acceptable and what type is not acceptable. In other words, discipline teaches a child to follow rules. Discipline may involve both punishment and, more importantly, rewards. It sounds so straightforward, yet every parent becomes frustrated at one time or another with issues surrounding children and discipline.

It is important that you do not put your overweight child(ren) on a restrictive diet Children should never be placed on a restrictive diet to lose weight unless a doctor or paediatric dietician supervises one for medical reasons.

Other approaches parents can take to develop healthy eating habits in their children include:

Guide your family's choices rather than dictate foods. Make a wide variety of healthy foods available in the house. This will help your children learn how to make healthy food choices.
Encourage your children to eat slowly. A child can detect hunger and fullness better when eating slowly.
Eat meals together as a family as often as possible. Try to make mealtimes pleasant with conversation and sharing, not a time for scolding or arguing. If mealtimes are unpleasant, children may try to eat faster to leave the table as soon as possible. They then may learn to associate eating with stress.
Involve your children in food shopping and preparing meals. These activities will give you hints about your children's food preferences, an opportunity to teach your children about nutrition, and provide your children with a feeling of achievement. In addition, children may be more willing to eat or try foods they have helped prepare.
Plan for snacks. Continuous snacking may lead to overeating, but snacks that are planned at specific times during the day can be part of a nutritious diet, without spoiling a child's appetite at meal times. You should make snacks as nutritious as possible, without depriving your children of occasional crisps or biscuits, especially at parties or other social events.
Discourage eating meals or snacks while watching TV. Try to eat only in designated areas of your home, such as the dining room or kitchen. Eating in front of the TV may make it difficult to pay attention to feelings of fullness, and may lead to overeating.

Colon Hydrotherapy - Gentle, Relaxing, Cleansing

2010-02-13T09:00:00.015-05:00

Colon hydrotherapy is a gentle internal bath that cleanses the colon. This relaxing therapy can improve the health and well being of individuals suffering with a variety of chronic health problems.

Colon hydrotherapy gently and thoroughly cleanses the colon of toxins, accumulated waste matter, gas and mucous plaque. Waste matter often times remain in the intestines far to long and consequently ferments and decays. Harmfully substances within the waste matter are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream and can lead to auto-intoxication. This self-intoxication weakens the immune system and can lead to chronic disease. Since 1990 we've helped thousands of individuals reclaim their health using colon hydrotherapy as an integral part of our health recovery program. Our state of the art FDA approved colon hydrotherapy equipment features a specially designed one time use only disposable tube system for complete assurance of no possible contamination. Colon Hydrotherapy internally washes out accumulated toxins and waste mater and improves the health and well being of individuals suffering with a number of chronic conditions.

This relaxing therapy can dramatically help you or someone you love who is suffering with constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, inability to lose weight, fatigue and other chronic health problems. Removes toxins and waste matter from the large intestine and helps to reconstruct a healthy environment to encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy:

Tones the intestinal muscles and increases peristaltic action (wave like motion) of the large intestines to bowel transit time.

Stimulates the liver and gall bladder to release bile. Toxins are removed from the liver through the bile acids.

Helps weight loss by removal of toxins and accumulated waste matter.

Relieves pressure and pain from the abdominal organs and low back muscles thereby reducing pain and discomfort in this area.

The Value of Colon Hydrotherapy Verified by Medical Professionals

“Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe way to cleanse the gut. It’s a healing technique for the relief of irritable bowel syndrome with gas and bloating, chronic constipation, abdominal discomfort, and many other GI tract problems.”

-Dr. Robert Charm, MD, board certified gastroenterologist of Walnut Creek, California, and clinical professor of medicine at the University of California

“Seriously ill patients tend to be chronically constipated which results in generalized toxemia. It turns out that colon hydrotherapy is the gentlest and most effective treatment for a constipation problem. Without reservation, my wish is to see it become an established procedure for many kinds of gastrointestinal problems"

-Dr. Lendon Smith M.D. Portland, Oregon, author of "Feed Your Kids Right"

"Colon hydrotherapy works advantageously to get rid of pathology in the gastrointestinal tract. This treatment stimulates the liver and gets rid of debris in the intestinal mucosa."

-Dr. W. John Diamond, MD, medical director of the Triad Medical Center in Reno, Nevada and coauthor of An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer

“I use colon hydrotherapy as part of an overall detoxification program. It promotes the second stage of liver detoxification to cause dissolved poisons to come out in the bile as a solvent."

-Dr. James P. Carter, MD, Mandeville, Louisiana. Professor and Head of the Nutrition Department at Tulane University School of Medicine

Are Toxins Keeping You Fat?

It could be in the foods you’re eating that have preservatives in them, or maybe in the non-organic vegetables you’re eating that are grown on commercial farms where they use a lot of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. I talk about the latest research that links toxins in our air, food and water supply and how they affect your health and weight.

Read the full scientific report here: http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/newscience/long-term-atrazine-exposure-may-lead-to-fat-rats/

Dr. Krystosik's conclusion:
Everyone one of us are exposed to low levels of environmental poisons, herbicides, pesticides, preservatives, food additives, household chemicals, industrial waste, etc. Alternative physicians like myself have been talking about the hazards of low levels of environmental poisons for many years.

1/16/10 - “Take two aspirin and call me in the morning?”

2010-01-16T09:00:00.012-05:00

The saying used to be, “Take two aspirin and call me in the morning,” but many people turn to ibuprofen to relieve inflammation, pain and fever. This nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID's), available both over the counter and by prescription, is commonly used to treat arthritis, menstrual symptoms, headache, general aches and pains, and various inflammatory conditions.

Although many people think that if their doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory medications that they must be safe. The truth is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications are associated with an increased risk of heart and circulation problems, including stroke and heart attack, as well as gastrointestinal problems, such as bleeding or perforation of the stomach or intestinal tract. These risks increase the longer you take the drug, although the length of time until it affects any one individual varies depending on their overall health, use of other medications. This week on the “The Other Side of Medicine” we provided safe and effective alternatives for pain and inflammation.

Listen to the amusing spot we did this week on the side effects of anti-inflammatory medications. Doctor Dragnet - Mr. Ben Dover

However, keep in mind although we poked fun at these medications the side effects were taken right out of the pharmaceutical industries own literature.

1/16/10 - There's a Fresh New Sound to the "Other Side of Medicine"

2010-01-16T08:55:00.001-05:00

The new and improved “Other Side of Medicine” is an oasis for baby boomers and beyond. Age is a funny thing, and here on the other side of medicine we like to poke fun at it. And our kids poke fun at us because of our age. Many of us have children, I have six, and we need to stay young just so we can keep one step ahead of our kids, or at least make them think were one step ahead of them. That's what I do. And if you’re smart, you'll take my advice and do the same. I've also discovered that baby boomer kids like to listen to the other side of medicine. That's because they get to hear all of the funny things we go through as we age. And they don't want to end up with all of the health problems that many baby boomers have. Like arthritis, and high blood pressure and heart disease, and diabetes, and “Boopitis.” “Boopitis” is all the other signs symptoms and diseases that most baby boomers believe they have to live with as they age. But when these folks here about the “Other Side of Medicine” they're ears perk and their eyes become a little brighter. That's because we reveal the secrets of staying young as you grow old. We show you how to age gracefully. In the following weeks we will be unveiling many new elements of entertainment and education blended into an unusual and engaging program. We hope you enjoy the fruits of our labors behind the scenes as we bring you the new “Other Side of Medicine.” We would like to ask a favor of you. If you enjoy the program please tell your friends about it and send them some of the links we will provide for you in the upcoming weeks.

Sincerely,
Dr. James D. Krystosik
