Dr. , speaker at upcoming WAPF conference, on metabolic typing

[Guest guest]

http://www.dr-gonzalez.com/clinical_pearls.htm

We divide patients into different metabolic categories, depending on each

patient’s particular genetic, biochemical and physiological make-up. In this

model, patients with solid epithelial tumors, such as tumors of the lung,

pancreas, colon, prostate, uterus, etc. do best on a largely plant-based diet.

Such patients have a metabolism that functions most efficiently with a specific

combination of nutrients that are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole

grains and seeds, and with minimal to no animal protein.

On the other hand, patients with the blood or immune based malignancies such as

leukemia, myeloma and lymphoma do best on a high-animal protein, high-fat diet.

Such patients do extremely well with a diet based on animal products with

minimal to moderate amounts of plant based foods, the particular design of the

diet again depending on the individual patient’s metabolic make-up. We find

patients with pancreatic cancer always do best with a largely plant-based diet

that emphasizes fruits, vegetables and vegetable juice, nuts, seeds and whole

grains. Allowed protein includes fish one to two times a week, one to two eggs

daily and yogurt daily, but no other animal protein. In our therapy, we use

diets specifically because of the effect of food on the autonomic nervous

system. This system consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches and

ultimately controls all aspects of our physiology, including immune function,

cardiovascular activity, endocrine function and the entire

action of our digestive system. The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems

have opposing actions on the target organs and so can adjust our physiology

depending on needs and demands, enabling our bodies to react to any situation,

condition or stress. We believe disease, whatever the form, occurs because there

is an imbalance in autonomic function. For example, we find solid tumors, such

as tumors of the breast, lung, pancreas, colon, uterus, ovaries, liver, etc

occur only in patients who have an overly strong sympathetic nervous system and

a correspondingly weak, ineffective parasympathetic nervous system. We believe

that blood-based cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma, only

occur in patients that have an overly developed parasympathetic nervous system,

and a correspondingly weak sympathetic nervous system. Previous research, such

as Dr. Francis Pottenger’s research during the 1920s and 1930s proposed that

much if not all disease has autonomic imbalance as at

least one of the major causes.

We have found that specific nutrients and foods have specific, precise and

predictable effects on the autonomic nervous system. For example, a vegetarian

diet emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly leafy greens, and

contains large doses of minerals such as magnesium and potassium. It has been

shown in many studies that magnesium suppresses sympathetic function, while

potassium stimulates parasympathetic activity. Furthermore, a largely vegetarian

diet tends to be very alkalinizing, and the neurophysiologic research documents

that in an alkalinizing environment, sympathetic activity is reduced and

parasympathetic activity increased. So, whatever other effect a vegetarian diet

has, in terms of autonomic nervous system function, such a diet will reduce

sympathetic activity and stimulate the parasympathetic system.

A meat diet is loaded with minerals such as phosphorous and zinc, which tend to

have the opposite effect. A high-meat diet stimulates the sympathetic system and

tones down parasympathetic activity. Furthermore, such a diet is loaded with

sulfates and phosphates that in the body are quickly converted into free acid,

that in turn stimulates the sympathetic nervous system while suppressing

parasympathetic activity.

So, by the careful use of diet, we are able to effect major changes in autonomic

function, and bring about balance in a dysfunctional nervous system. We find,

further, as the autonomic system comes into greater harmony and balance, when

the autonomic branches are equally strong, all systems – from the immune system

to the cardiovascular system – work better regardless of the underlying problem.

In essence, we are using diet to bring about greater physiological efficiency.

For cancer patients, long experience has taught us that it is not enough to load

patients with enzymes; the question of autonomic imbalance must also be

addressed. In terms of pancreatic patients specifically, a plant-based diet

provides all the nutrients to correct autonomic dysfunction.

Interesting, indeed! Did throw Dr. 's name out in a cancer

thread on GFCFNN month or so ago, iirc. Being the most vocal here to

metabolic typing as a maintainer of health.I can't quite understand

why Sally has chosen the what you should have done after the disease

approach.

IIRC, you're a metabolic typing consultant so you must know that

pancreatic enzymes have been found by the diet researchers to not be

needed by every type when eating for their metabolic type.

In summary, I highly respect Dr. 's work like Kelley's

with metabolic typing and cancer. If Dr. can get across PPPS,

prevention, protection, parasympathetic, sympathic regarding eating

for your type then the approach from the disease state backward will

have worked. Bold move for WPF in the direction that everyone

shouldn't eat everything.

Not only that, there's apparently going to be an anti-MT article in

an upcoming issue of Wise Traditions. However, the impression I got

from at the conference was that he recommends lots of fat

for all his patients of all types, but that dairy is the main source

of animal fat for so-called " vegetarian type " people. Whether there

is such a thing as a " vegetarian type " and how much there really is

to metabolic typing is unclear, but the other part of his

presentation, which was by far the bulk of it, was absolutely

fascinating, and as soon as I get a free hour or two, I'm going to

write up and elaborate on my notes.

Did actually say vegetarian type? From all I've read from

quite a few MT researchers there's no one they've put on a vegan diet

without some form of animal protein and fat in varying amounts and

types, sources.

This dairy fat source type is referring to is the same type I

referred to earlier this week in response to Connie on gorging. This

is Abravnel's adrenal dominant that craves high protein,salty

foods,red meat and alcohol but needs pituitary stimulant from dairy.

I'd appreciate hearing what else covered at the conference

when you have the time.Will be highly disappointed if Wise Traditions

does an anti MT article considering the varying macronutrient ratios

and sources of them WAP found in his groups. If individuals actually

adapted their genetic and metabolic predisposition to any

macronutrient source wouldn't be doing what he does.

One genuine problem with a lot of the MT field, though, is the

dietary fat recommendation continuum it usually presents. IIRC,

Wolcott says " carb " types on one end should get 10% of calories from

fat and " protein " types on the other end should get 30% of calories

from fat. That's ludicrous. I'm less familiar with Kelley's system,

which follows, just because it was Wolcott's book I read,

but a lot of MT dietary recommendations are similarly ludicrous.

I'm not saying there's nothing to typing, since it seems like there's

got to be _something_ there, but by comparison to Wolcott and modern

orthodoxy, ALL Price's healthy natives ate a high-fat diet, and all

of Price's healthy natives also ate lots of animal protein in one

form or another.

Much of my interest is in that Wolcott worked for Kelley and

follows Kelley. I'm gathering from what you've written that

isn't as fat phobic as Wolcott's fat %s. Wolcott's % are the same as

Lawder's. Wiley's look to be the same with graduated type ratios but

stressing for his acid/protein type, animal protein with every meal,

no dairy sub, high purine, high fat organ meats, higher fat dark meats

fatty fish, olives, avocadoes, dairy and nuts.

IIRC, has found 17 diets for various cancer treatments.

Wolcott many more variations so MTD is highly simplified. I agree

animal protein and fat were high in all of Price's groups. What type

of animal fat or protein one's autotomic nervous system works best on,

I see as more important than suggested ratios. The differences in

metabolic processing determine what dark, red, fatty meat and fish,

light, meats fish, dairy protein, animal body fat, dairy fat and plant

fat results to inside any individual to their dominant system.

Variations of use of all of these was in Price's groups.

Metabolic typing, biochemical individuality or biobalance is more than

one researcher with some contradictions amongst the many researchers.

A fair article wheather justifying or vilifying any part of it would

include the option for research of other's work.
