Blood
Types: The Nuts and Bolts of It Presented
by Jackie Featherly, ND
Dr. Peter D’Adamo, who has authored many books on the Blood Type diet, looks
at this genetic factor to improve a person’s health, energy, and overall
well-being. He also believes that an individual’s blood type is the key to
making informed decisions regarding diet, exercise, and even their
supplements. Based on Dr. D’Adamo’s research with genetics, anthropology, and
medical history, he has created a lifestyle profile suited to each blood
type.
In this class, learn how the diet tailored to each blood type originated,
which foods are beneficial, neutral, or avoid for each type, and the science
behind why certain foods are beneficial or avoids. While you cannot change your
blood type, you can use this information to make nutritional choices suited to
your biological make up. Within two weeks of following the blood type diet,
D’Adamo reports that his clients experience more energy, a loss of weight, fewer
digestive complaints, and an improvement of chronic illnesses, such as asthma,
heartburn, and headaches. |

New World News & Surviving the Nuclear Age Presented
by Richard Olree, DC
After a recent conversation with Dr. Olree, Dr. Bessheen Baker felt is was
essential to bring him back to keep us updated on world events. One very
important topic discussed was the amount of radiation that leaked into the ocean
during the Japanese nuclear earthquake incident. More than three times that
released by Chernobyl! Dr. Olree will explain the impact of this on human health
and planet survival, as the sodium of the ocean mixes and creates very
concerning sulfur responses. All advanced and alumni students are encouraged to
attend. Richard Olree’s work is profound. We need to have a handle on what’s
going on for ourselves, our families, and the planet. Each year our client cases
become more challenging due to environmental poisons. Let’s all get up to speed
on these world events!

Gut
and Psychology (GAP) Presented
by Kathryn Doran-Fisher, ND
The Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome (GAPS)
describes the connection between how our physical and mental health is
dependent on the health of our digestive tract and the micro-organisms
contained within it. GAP Syndrome is the underlying cause to an outstanding
number of diseases including: ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, autism, schizophrenia, anxiety,
depression, epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, arthritis, lupus, allergies, eczema,
psoriasis, Diabetes, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity,
chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, irritable bowel,
celiac, gluten-sensitivity, constipation, hemorrhoids, colitis, acid reflux,
and more. These are the people that fall into the gap of modern medical
knowledge and have limited success with nearly every standard treatment out
there. Based on the work of Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride who works with
thousands of GAPS patients around the globe the GAPS program has three main
components; the GAPS nutritional plan, specific supplementation, and ways to
detoxify the body. Most important is the GAPS Diet which heals the lining of
the digestive tract and allows the body's elimination systems to function
properly. Through this clients around the world have been able to return to an
optimum level of health.
