The Metabolic Code Diet consists primarily of organic protein sources, organic vegetables including lettuces and greens, organic nuts, beans, legumes, fruits and healthy organic fats. Grain and starch servings should be limited and your individual dietitian will determine how many daily servings are recommended. Because food allergies and intolerances are involved in so many health conditions, the diet also eliminates the intake of wheat (and/or gluten depending on the health condition) as well as cow’s milk dairy as much as possible.

Mood lifters

As far as mood nutrients, there are several making the headlines, including:
5-HTP—This nutrient is a serotonin supporter.† Serotonin is a major player in neurotransmitters, which are responsible for communicating the various needs of the body between brain cells and peripheral cells of the nervous system. In short, serotonin is a “feel good” chemical that keeps your focus sharp and your concentration keen, enabling you to get a good night’s sleep and to awake happy and energized.†
Vinpocetine and gingko biloba—These nutrients have a history of supporting memory, optimizing function, improving mood, and focus.†
Folate, vitamin B12, thiamine, and iron—These nutrients can be key for positive effects in mood balance.†
Choline—This essential nutrient readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and is said to support a positive mood.†
Omega-3s—Omega-3 deficiency can have an adverse effect on the mood. The body inefficiently synthesizes DHA, so we need dietary DHA from sources like oily fish. It offers a rich source of omega-3s—especially preformed EPA and DHA, the most neurologically active forms of omega-3s. Awareness of omega-3 benefits is growing; there was a 5 percent increase in awareness of the importance of omega-3s in brain health (from 17 percent to 22 percent) between 2006 and 2007. Omega 3s have been shown to improve the mood of menopausal and perimenopausal women, too, according to a February 2009 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.†
Probiotics—Even probiotics are on the scene when it comes to a positive mood. Probiotics may give added support for gastrointestinal health during these stressful times.†

Four Simple Energy Rules for Athletes

Please understand that energy and stamina doesn't come from sugar. Taking in simple carbs like sugar, corn syrup, pasta, or bread before an event will tend to cause a quick spike in your blood sugar followed by a corresponding fall, making you feel more exhausted than before. More than anything, simple carbs and excess complex carbs will make you sluggish and hamper your performance.
If you want to create energy naturally, here are five simple rules to follow:

Just before a game or hard workout, eat a little bit of fruit, such as an apple, plum, pear, citrus fruit (not juice) or berries. They're great right before a game or workout, as they give you a small spike without the massive plummet.

Two to three hours before a game or hard workout, complex carbs, fats and a small amount of protein will do the trick. Sweet potatoes, brown rice, olive oil, almond butter, flax oil, walnuts, almonds and eggs are all easy to digest and can give you more sustained energy for the day.

Post exercise, your body is nitrogen-poor and your muscles have been broken down. That's why you need amino acids from animal proteins like chicken, beef and eggs, as well as vegetable carbohydrates.

Although many experts have advised athletes to load up on carbs before a long-distance event, fact is, burning sugar is not what happens over long distances. After a short period of time, particularly at slower paces, your body is burning fats. Therefore, rather than loading up on carbs, more long distance runners are loading up on fats and small amounts of proteins prior to racing, with no more carbs than the body can easily store anyway.

What About Sports Drinks?

The ONLY time you should resort to these drinks is after vigorous exercise, such as cardiovascular aerobic activity, for a minimum of 45 minutes to an hour, and you’re sweating profusely as a result of that activity. Anything less than 45 minutes will simply not result in a large enough fluid loss to justify using these high-sodium, high-sugar drinks.

turmeric

The marigold-colored spice known as turmeric, which is revered in India as "holy powder," has been used for centuries to treat wounds, infections and other health problems. In recent years, there has been increasing research into turmeric's main ingredient, curcumin, and its astonishing array of antioxidant, anti-cancer, antibiotic, antiviral and other properties.Now, researchers have discovered that curcumin acts by inserting itself into cell membranes and making them more orderly, a move that improves cells' resistance to infection and malignancy.Scientists had previously speculated that curcumin does its health-promoting work by interacting directly with membrane proteins, but the new findings challenge that notion. Instead, curcumin appears to regulate the action of membrane proteins indirectly, by changing the physical properties of the membrane.

It appears that curcumin -- the pigment that gives turmeric its yellow-orange color, and which is thought to be responsible for many of its medicinal effects -- is able to “discipline” cells and get them back into working order. When curcumin enters a cell, the study’s lead researcher said:"The membrane goes from being crazy and floppy to being more disciplined and ordered, so that information that flows through it can be controlled."This not only improves your cells’ resistance to infections, but it also may help prevent cancer.

Numerous studies have looked into this potential cancer-fighting link, with promising results. For instance, curcumin has been found to:
• Inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells• Inhibit the transformation of cells from normal to tumor• Help your body destroy mutated cancer cells so they cannot spread throughout your body• Decrease inflammation• Enhance liver function• Inhibit the synthesis of a protein thought to be instrumental in tumor formation• Prevent the development of additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth
And according to researchers from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, curcumin blocks a key biological pathway needed for development of melanoma and other cancers.The spice actually stops laboratory strains of melanoma from proliferating and pushes the cancer cells to commit suicide by shutting down nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), a powerful protein known to induce an abnormal inflammatory response that leads to an assortment of disorders such as arthritis and cancer.

The reason people in India refer to turmeric as “holy powder” is because it has such a broad range of health effects. In fact, curcumin has been shown to influence more than 700 genes, with benefits that include:
• Strengthening and improving your digestion• Supporting healthy liver function and detoxification• Purifying your blood• Fighting cancer, arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease• Anti-inflammatory properties
Further, evidence suggests turmeric may play a beneficial role in the following diseases:
Cystic fibrosis• Type 2 diabetes• Crohn’s disease• Psoriasis• Rheumatoid arthritis• Cataracts• Gallstones• Muscle regeneration• Inflammatory bowel disease

You can absolutely use turmeric in your cooking, and in case you haven’t tried it, it has a warm, peppery flavor. However, when you do choose a pure turmeric powder, rather than a curry powder, as at least one study has found curry powders tend to contain very little curcumin, compared to turmeric powder. Be sure to listen to your body as always, and if turmeric is a spice you do not enjoy it may be a sign that it’s not right for your body. If you are not one who enjoys the flavor of curry, you can also get the benefits of turmeric by taking it in a high-quality, organic supplement form.

Transcendentalism

What's really real is spiritual; physical is not really there or just a manefestation of the spirital; Gnosticism Creator and creation are blurred. God is not a person; God is a force or energy; something we can tap into.

Christians keep a distinction between God and creator; we are as physical as we are spiritual. Key passage: In the beginning, God.. . . He is independent of His creation.

Incarnation is really important to Christians; Gnositicism trivializes the physical.

naturalism

Philosophical Naturalism. only the physical world that we can see touch see hear exists. If we can't measure it; it doesn't exist. No God, no human spirit.

The cosmos is all there is, ever was, or ever will be. Science is dominated by naturalism. Modernism removed authority of God and put it on humans - with that came promises of utopia through sexual freedom (Sanger, Frued), economic determinism (Marx). Post-modernism by and large is still modernistic - they don't like man being in charge, but instead of God they use community. No one has the right to say anything is wrong or right. Only different.

The enlightenment embedded naturalism in all major cultural institutions of western civ: law, politics, education, sociology, science and technology.

Best thing to do is always ask questions. Respond like Jesus with a better questions.

What do you mean by that? How do you know that's true? What's that assuming about reality?

Worldviews have feet. Christianity has become a religion of the heart, not the head.

Three big worldviews

Three big worldviews: Naturalism - assumes that reality is only physical. Man is not a creation of God, but God is a creation of man. The things that we can be sure of and know are the things we can test through our senses - so Science is the arbitor of truth and

Transendetalism - Spiritual is primaryreality New Age -

Theism - reality is both physical and spiritual. Reality is handiwork of a personal God.

Presuppositionalism determines the outlook.

e.g. Empiriism dimisses God because the definition of science won't allow IF everyone were honest, science would have to admit to limitations. No one is neutral.

Worldview gives us a foundation to evaluate our world

Basics about worldview

The Summit

Everyone has a lens - a basic framework of belief that shapes they way we see the world. Like glasses we see everything through this lens. Ideas have consequences; histories.

Basic assumptions that affect how we see everything else.

Opinions are a result of our worldview.

Battle of ideas is Battle of definitions

Worldview comes from many places. Some people just catch it like a cold. TV, movies, games, facebook, preachers, textbooks, homes, families, celebrities.

If an area has predominantly positive charge it is an indication of over-activity - excess tissue acids, inflammation, swelling, heat and pain result in headaches, joint and muscle inflammation (arthritis and tendonitis)

To reverse those problems intoduce negatively charged particles to the area.

PVC plumbing pipe and fuzzy material. 1 - 2 feet of 1 1/2" pipe. Polyester fake fur works for the fuzzy material

Take the pvc pipe and rub the piece of fuzzy material back and forth along the pipe - move the charged pvc pipe sowly back and forth over the painful area, keeping it about a half-inch to an inch from the surface of your skin. after 3 - passes, recharge the pipe. It needs to be recharged if you touch it to anything . Repeat until you feel relief. Can treat for 5 - 7 minutes or as long as 15.
