The NY Time’s "Queen of Green" Joins Genita Petralli's Biosanctuary

Debra Lynn Dadd, titled “The Queen of Green” by The New York Times has accepted an offer to the Holistic Detox Diva Genita Petralli’s BioSanctuary and Clinic! We couldn’t be more thrilled to share this with you because we know the impact her expertise in Green Living Consulting is going to have on SUSTAINABLE recovery from addiction to drugs and alcohol.

Researching the fundamental cause of today’s mental health symptoms as well as those that develop addictive biochemistry which leads to addiction to legal / illegal drugs and / or alcohol – or really any dis-ease such as the epidemic heart, degenerative and diabetes dis-eases we are inundated with as a society today, it doesn’t take long to learn that it is the toxic diet and environment that is the fundamental or strongest contributor to the development of these diseases today including addiction!The BioSanctuary, not only entirely detoxes participants from the endocrine disruptors, neuro / excitotoxins, and carcinogens that are the precursors to symptoms and also that which is preventing people from achieving long term recovery, but we also teach you how to build a healthy GREEN non-toxic habitat for yourself. This is key in long term recovery because if you simply detox in an in or outpatient capacity, if you go back to the toxic environment that created your condition, it is only a matter of time before your symptoms return and you are reaching out for relief again.

This is why we are passionate about making sure those that work with us leave no stone unturned in greening thier diet and personal environment so that they may rid themselves once and for all from all those invisible crazy-makers that are preventing them from living the life they are capable of and wish to live.

Enter Debra Lynn Dadd, “The Queen of Green” and author of Home Safe Home who has now joined The BioSanctuary / Shangri La BioSpa as our Green Living Consultant. It is her books and websites that we go to when we’re researching products for our client’s homes, body’s, cosmetics, etc… so we thought, why do all the work? Why not just ask the expert if she would like to join the team?Debra is a true NON-TOXIC advocate. Not less toxic like the kind of  products you’ll find in most health food stores. She has the same purist, GREEN filters we have when it comes to what we use in our homes and on our body or lawn. She will not only provide the right information, but save you days – even months of research because it can take that long to really figure out how to do it right and who are the ethical companies out there really making products with you and the planet as the core value.

Debra Lynn Dadd (http://debranontoxic.com) brings more than thirty years of research and real-life experience to her work as a health-oriented consumer advocate. She was the first to alert consumers to the toxic chemicals present in everyday household products and reveals both the short- and long-term health effects, as well as safe alternatives. Her books on the subject have been continuously in print since 1984. Debra was the first to catalog nontoxic products, making them easily accessible to everyone.

Today Debra is still the leader in her field with her Toxic Free Zone (debranontoxic.com) website, an online guide to toxics in consumer products, their health effects, safe alternatives, and detox. It features a directory to 1000s of nontoxic products, a Q&A blog, a bookstore and more. Debra is a consultant to individuals and businesses, and lectures frequently.

The Oxidative Stress Link to Addiction & Mental Health - The Importance of Organic Food

The fundamental cause of dis-ease is oxidative stress caused primarily in today’s world by toxins in our environment, food and water, and medicine. Oxidative stress is another term for free-radical damage which is another term for cellular death. Oxidative stress is caused by toxins in the food, water and air that we eat, drink and breath and it is also caused by the toxins in our personal hygiene, home and garden care, industrial and agricultural pollutants, and medicine – drugs and vaccines.

Oxidative stress also creates an enormous tax on the minimal nutrition you get into your body if you are eating in a conventional way because it requires nutrients to metabolize and eliminate toxins and it also requires nutrients to repair the damage that they have done. And let’s face it, we humans are losing the oxidative stress / repair and replication race because our environment, food, water and medicine are pushing toxins in in alarming amounts while our diets are depleted more and more of the nutrients required to save us from their disease causing nature.

Your body and mind need to be in growth mode (repair and replication of cells) to achieve a healing event and eliminate your symptoms, and greening your diet and environment is the quickest way to get your body into growth mode. Let’s face it, the laws of health are not negotiable and it was your lifestyle that brought you to your healing crisis- if you are in one- so that lifestyle will have to change to enable a healing event. The donuts, pesticides and coffee simply are not worth the blood sugar roller coaster and anxiety they are causing you and taking away your peace and enjoyment of this one precious life.

Healing begins with reverence for the body and that which sustains it, planet earth. I am hoping that the healing you achieve with this introduction to ??Continued Next Page?creating a healthy relationship with food will also encourage a passionate ?reverence for the source of your medicine, planet earth and the bountiful foods it produces which your body requires to detoxify and feed the cells that sustain the beautiful cloth your spirit wears, the protein machine that has developed a relationship with planet earth over three million years – a relationship that when not treated with reverence develops dis-ease, and when treated with the respect it deserves provides not only health but joy, inspiration, peace and a enlivening awareness of spirit.

The American Medical Association published that 85% of dis-ease is caused by diet and lifestyle. The British Journal of Medicine reported that 95% of dis-ease is caused by diet and lifestyle. Then why is it that when you go to the doctor regarding symptoms or conditions of ill health, you are typically given toxic drugs that only add to the toxic conditions that caused your dis-ease and are not provided guidance for eliminating those things in your diet and lifestyle that are hurting you and instructions on how to eat properly for nurturing the body as opposed to destroying it? Contained in this book are the instructions that you should have received the last time you went to the doctor for ANY ailment.

I do a lot of lecturing all over the world and the most common question I get (as well as at The BioSanctuary from my patients) is “But doesn’t organic cost more?” I guess being a nutritional biochemist and knowing very well what pesticides do to a body and mind and how they rob both of health – therefore me of my quality of life, I would never consider cost a justification for putting a poison in my body. However, the good news is that it does not for these reasons:A naturopathic student did a study by creating a meal plan for one week for her family of 4. Fat for fat, protein for protein, carb for carb and saved $1.23.

When you eat right you do not buy snack foods throughout the day such as chips, cookies, gums, and drink cokes and caffeine, etc…Excess simple sugars / carbohydrates cause insulin spikes which cause insulin resistance over time. Both insulin spikes and resistance cause extreme blood sugar fluctuations throughout the day which cause false hunger due to low blood sugar episodes. Your body doesn’t need more food it just thinks it does because your insulin can’t get glucose (energy) into your cells and shut the brain’s hunger alarms off. When the brain goes low on energy it sends out the ??Continued Next Page?signals for you to eat because it is charged with keeping all your involuntary ?survival functions such as heart rate and breathing going.

Anyone that is overweight is likely experiencing some degree of insulin resistance – Syndrome X. Insulin resistance reduces the body’s ability to get glucose into the cells to provide energy for the body and brain so you will eat more than you should at each sitting and more often because the brain can not register the fact that you have enough food in you because the glucose or energy from the food is not making its way into the blood where it can be delivered to the body and brain. False hunger means you eat more – therefore it is more expensive to operate your body.People eat too much. Even if eating organic was let’s say 10% more expensive, I’m sure anyone asking the question “Isn’t eating organic more expensive?” could do with eating 10% less. Obviously your health has not been your priority.

If you want to be healthy, you must develop a healthy relationship with food such as the diet plan we provide at The BioSanctuary. Our health is determined by how close our diet and lifestyle is aligned with the laws of health – laws that were determined by the three million year relationship our body has forged with mother nature. Good food, water, rest, sunlight, recreation / play / exercise and the air you breath are the foundations of health. The better you are at providing yourself these and avoiding toxins in all areas of your life, the healthier you will be.

The so-called “War On Drugs” has a new battleground – your doctor’s office

Where the unholy alliance between the pharmaceutical and psychiatric industries presents a pseudo medical model that inflicts addictive, chemical abuse on innocent victims while lying to the public with sales science and calling it medicine...  

Their drugs are nothing more than variations of the very same illegal drugs the government has spent billions of dollars fighting—not because they care about you, only to preserve pharmaceutical sales. Make no mistake; a drug is a drug —pushed or prescribed.  They are all toxic, and psychotropic pharmaceuticals are far more toxic to brain tissue and the liver; diminishing quality of life, causing multiple addictions and ultimately resulting in disease and death—never health and wellness! My life is dedicated to reclaiming lives from psychiatric drugs and exposing psychiatry for what it truly is; nothing more than a gang of white collar drug pushers robbing our society of every resource that supports it right down to our future; the children. As a scientist and licensed practitioner I want to educate all those interested in what is causing the epidemic mental health crisis of today, how to avoid it, how to get off of psych drugs if you are on them now, and why toxic drugs should not ever be called medicine. My work is toward a medical model for all mental health issues to be based on patient outcomes and not profit. If you have questions about the FIRST, ONLY and ORIGINAL Green Medical Model, then I encourage you to take part in the 6-Week series, "Reclaim your Life – How to Get Off & Stay Off Illegal / Legal Drugs and Alcohol". You won't want to miss this coming Tuesday's session where I will be revealing my exact, step-by-step formula for safely tapering off of drugs and alcohol. In Service We Shine!

Ritalin - Is It The Same As Cocaine?

Ritalin has the same pharmacological profile as cocaine.

Ritalin and cocaine block dopamine brain transporters to cause their identical psychoactive results. 

Ritalin is actually more potent in the brain blocking 70% of dopamine transporters.  Cocaine is known to block around 50 per cent of these transporters, leaving a surfeit of dopamine in the system, which is responsible for the hit addicts crave.  Since Ritalin is taken orally, the slower process of ingesting is the reason the legally addicted people do not receive the same rush as cocaine users who usually snort or shoot it.  Read Dr Nora Volkow’s interview in the Journal of American Medicine. Pet Scans of the effects of Ritalin and Cocaine on the Brain  The Pharmaceutical Industry Mimics Your Natural Pharmacist: The NeuroEndocrine System (NES). The NES produces the popular neurochemicals below in addition to hundreds more. It’s true, deficient production of neurochemicals, damage to their receptor sites, or over or under activity of their regulating enzymes cause many symptoms ranging from anxiety to audible and visual hallucinations.  Why are they becoming more and more deficient in people causing the mental disorder epidemic today? Why Not Make Your Own Drugs Naturally - The Way Nature Intended? The proof is in, there is a deficiency of these neurochemicals in mentally symptomatic patients, but why? When you find out why, you can cure the root cause of the symptoms never having to touch a drug. Prescribed Drugs are Synthetically Made & Legalized Illicit Drugs Remember, a toxic drug causes extreme oxidative stress on the system - this and their ability to change natural biochemical processes that have been developed over millions of years into chaotic chemical reactions make them extremely dangerous to your health.  Because of their synthetic nature and the body's difficulty in metabolizing them, they can do even more damage than street drugs! Your Natural Pharmacist Has Been Off-Shored and Replaced By the Pharma Cartel at a very high price, your health, quality of life and many times life itself, and they don't get you anywhere near the natural high. Isn't it time you started listening to YOUR natural pharmacist again?
