Is toxic mould slowly destroying your family’s health?

      No Comments on Is toxic mould slowly destroying your family’s health?

Are you finding yourself wondering why you continue to be sick despite all your efforts to improve your health and wellness? The answer to this common question may lie in an often overlooked but pervasive health threat: mould toxicity. https://blog.drsundardas.com/allergic-bronchopulmonary-aspergillosis-quote/

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences: Mold

In modern construction, materials such as drywall and wallpaper create the perfect environment for mould growth. This results in the release of mycotoxins, which can have severe consequences on overall health by interfering with the body’s hormonal balance.

Mould toxicity manifests in a wide range of symptoms, making it challenging to diagnose. From anxiety and depression to joint pain and skin irritation, the effects of mould exposure can be debilitating. It’s estimated that 1 in 4 individuals are hypersensitive to mould, further emphasizing the importance of awareness and prevention. Asia hot, humid and damp climate aggravates this issue.

Recently, one of my clients encountered first-hand the insidious nature of mould toxicity within her home. A seemingly minor issue with her HVAC system led to a significant mould infestation, resulting in various health concerns for herself and her family.

Her children kept experiencing persistent respiratory and other health issues for apparently no reason. When we tested them, we identified mould as the culprit. This experience highlighted the importance of vigilance and prompt action when it comes to addressing mould issues. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/bioresonancebicom

It’s crucial to educate yourself about the dangers of mould toxicity. Here are some key steps to consider:

  1. Awareness: Be vigilant for symptoms of mould toxicity in yourself and your clients, especially if they describe unexplained health issues.
  2. Prevention: Take proactive measures to prevent mould growth, such as maintaining indoor humidity levels below 50% and addressing any leaks or water damage promptly.
  3. Detection: Consider testing for mould in environments where individuals may be at risk, such as homes, offices, and healthcare facilities.
  4. Treatment: In cases of mould exposure, prompt action is essential. This may include remediation efforts to remove mould and mycotoxins from the environment, as well as supportive therapies to address symptoms and promote healing. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/homoeopathy

Mould toxicity is a pervasive yet often overlooked health concern. By raising awareness and taking proactive measures, we can help mitigate the risks associated with mould exposure and ensure the well-being of ourselves and our clients.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Together, we can work towards creating healthier environments for all.

Are You Poisoning Your Brain?

      No Comments on Are You Poisoning Your Brain?

Did you know that by simply breathing, using a common skin lotion, or sleeping on a certain type of mattress you might be harming your brain? The 3-pound supercomputer between your ears is the most metabolically active organ in your body. As such, it is vulnerable to damage from toxins.

Toxins are one of the major causes of psychiatric issues, but traditional psychiatrists almost completely ignore them. In part, that’s because they rarely look at the organ they treat—the brain.

Toxins are one of the major causes of psychiatric issues, but traditional psychiatrists almost completely ignore them. In part, that’s because they rarely look at the organ they treat—the brain.

The brain-imaging work with SPECT reveals that toxic brain patterns are common in people with addictions to alcohol or drugs. Surprisingly, these same patterns can also be seen in people who aren’t substance abusers. Why do their brains look so bad?

How toxins take a toll on mental health

Research shows that environmental toxins—such as toxic mould, inhalants, and pollution—are often to blame for unhealthy brain function.

Environmental toxins impact nearly every aspect of your body and can damage the brain, leading to a variety of physical and mental health symptoms. From a psychiatric standpoint, exposure to toxins can increase the risk of:

On the physical side, issues can include:

  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Diabetes
  • Cancer
  • Fatigue
  • Numbness
  • Tingling
  • Tremors
  • Allergies
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Smelly stools
  • Bad breath
  • Weight issues
  • Skin rashes
  • Sweats

Our biological systems get rid of toxins (through the gut, liver, kidneys, and skin), but when those natural detoxification processes are overwhelmed, it can cause problems in the brain.

Reducing or eliminating your exposure to the toxins is the first step to healing your brain and regaining control of your life. To perform a brain detox, following these steps:

  • Clear out any toxin-laden household cleaning products.
  • Toss out personal care products that contain toxins.
  • Stop buying foods that filled with artificial chemicals.
  • Limit your intake of alcohol.
  • Avoid marijuana and other drugs.

By decreasing your exposure to toxins, you can help restore your brain function and may reduce mental health symptoms.

Maintain your Spine

      No Comments on Maintain your Spine

So what is it that drives us to invest our own time and spend our money on dental care? Although the answers to this question may vary slightly from person to person, the following reasons would most often be quoted:

  • To prevent dental cavities and the need for tooth extraction
  • To avoid the discomfort of toothache
  • To prevent bad breath
  • To prevent gum disease and more serious related health problems

Dental care is a serious business: nobody wants to suffer with breath odour, gum disease or the loss of teeth through decay. Perhaps we consider dental care all the more important because keeping our teeth beautiful and our breath fresh has an impact on others as well as ourselves.

Now let’s turn to a part of our anatomy which generally, we pay far less attention to, at least until problems occur – the spine. While we live in fear of toothache and dental problems, many of us don’t even think about spinal health until sports injuries, auto accidents or the onset of chronic back pain force us to seek pain management and curative therapy. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/painfree

Well, that exact same rule applies to your spine!

If we were to focus half as much on maintaining our spines, as we do on our teeth, we’d be a far healthier world population. Yet despite the fact that the spine is critical to mobility and protects our delicate central nervous systems, spinal care tends to occupy our attention only when episodes of neck or lower back pain strike. Even then, I feel sure you’re more likely to rush to the dentist at the first sign of toothache, than you are to seek attention at the first twinge of back pain.

While gum disease can lead to serious health deterioration, problems with your spine are potentially more damaging and can lead to long term incapacitation and in the worst cases, paralysis. Nobody wants to lose their teeth, but in the worst case, implants and dentures can serve as effective replacements. There is no replacement for a seriously damaged spine.

Millions of people worldwide live with the misery of chronic back pain, yet this doesn’t need to be the case. While it’s impossible to rule out spinal damage from auto accidents or similar events, a lifetime program of preventative spinal care can save you from degenerative disc disorders and other conditions which arise from simple wear and tear.

How to protect your spine – for life:

Spinal care and teeth care are not so dissimilar. As you limit the amount of sugary foods you eat and brush your teeth regularly, you can protect your spine by practicing safe lifting techniques and performing back strengthening exercises. As you can enlist the help of a dental practice to check your teeth and head off problems before they occur, so you can get help from an osteopath to keep your spine in alignment and deal with small problems before they become big ones.

In fact, regular visits to your osteopath can be beneficial not just for preventative spinal care, but also for your general wellness. That’s why it pays to begin a regular program of chiropractic visits even if you have never suffered with back or neck pain. Regular osteopathic treatments and counselling can help you to avoid illness and injuries as well as improving your overall quality of life. https://blog.drsundardas.com/are-you-ageing-prematurely/

When you visit your dental care provider, you know you are investing in the brightness of your smile, the freshness of your breath and the longevity of your teeth. When you visit your osteopath, you are investing in the preservation of your spine and central nervous system, that’s why you should prioritize the maintenance of your spine just as highly, if not more so, than the maintenance of your teeth.

Here at Sundardas Naturopathic Clinic (SNC), you’ll find a team of healthcare experts, including certified and highly talented naturopaths and osteopaths, who are committed to your long-term wellness.

Is your fatty liver shortening your life span?

      No Comments on Is your fatty liver shortening your life span?

If type 2 diabetes had a cousin, it would be NAFLD – Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. It’s a mouthful, but it’s important to understand what it is and why it’s so dangerous, if you can about your metabolic health.

There’s always some fat flowing in and out of the liver. In fact, the liver makes fat, glucose, fructose, and other compounds, and packages fat for distribution throughout the body.

Sometimes, however, the liver can get over-run with fat. This leads to inflammation,insulin resistance, damage to the liver cells, and can become NAFLD and lead to type 2diabetes.

Right now, at least 30% of people in the US and Europe have NAFLD and the number is growing quickly. The build-up of fat in the liver is a form of “energy toxicity” and comes from obesity, over-consumption of fructose, over-eating, lack of physical activity, and high blood insulin levels.

Fatty liver can be detected through imaging and bloodwork. Imaging includes MRI, Ultrasound, and CT scans, measuring the amount of fat in the liver. Blood work includes what are often termed “liver enzymes”, such as alanine aminotransferase test (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase test (AST), and Gamma glutamyl transferace (GGT).

Fatty liver can progress through four stages:

• Fatty liver: A build-up of extra fat in the liver

• Steatohepatitis: Inflammation in the liver in addition to accumulating fat

• Fibrosis: Scarring in the liver from the chronic inflammation

• Cirrhosis: Liver scarring which leads to pathological changes

Once Cirrhosis forms, there will likely be permanent damage, which can be life threatening.

What causes NAFLD?

Junk food: A diet rich in processed and refined carbohydrates, which typically includes a high amount of fructose, leads to increased fat production and storage in the liver.

Overeating: When you consume more energy, in the form of fat and carbohydrates, than you burn, the excess energy can get trapped in the liver, leading to a build-up of fat.

Insulin Resistance: Resistance to the hormone insulin leads to elevated blood levels of

Visceral Fat: Having an “apple shape”, or central adiposity with an elevated waist-to-height ratio, increases the risk for NAFLD.

Chronic Inflammation: While some inflammation is normal, chronic systemic inflammation from toxins, gut dysbiosis, poor diet, or infections leads to insulin resistance and may contribute to NAFLD.

Inactivity:  Exercise is a great way to burn extra energy, including fat from the body. Sedentary lifestyles leads to more energy toxicity and a greater risk of fatty liver.

Strategies To Help Protect and Heal the Liver

Reduce or Eliminate Refined Sugar and Processed Carbs: Researchers have found that almost twice as much liver fat comes from carbohydrates in the diet rather than fat. The liver converts sugar, especially fructose to triglycerides in a process called do novo lipogenesis.

Eat Less and Burn More Fat: The most important way to rid the liver of extra fat accumulation is to reverse energy toxicity by burning the stored body fat. Weight loss is important, but what’s even more important is fat loss.

Try a Low Carb, Ketogenic, Mediterranean Diet: The Mediterranean diet, including healthy proteins, olive oil, and vegetables, has long been praised for its cardiometabolic benefits.

Get More Physical Activity: Regular exercise can significantly reduce the amount of fat in and around the liver.

Supplements: The most important supplements for the liver protect liver cells, reduce oxidative stress, and increase fat burning in the liver. These include Milk Thistle, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Fibre, Burdock Root, Berberine, and high-dose omega 3 fatty acids.

We have a comprehensive programme for dealing with fatty liver.

Are you ageing prematurely?

      No Comments on Are you ageing prematurely?

Have you noticed that as people age, they develop an abnormal head forward posture? What is shocking is that with the advent of modern handphone and laptop devices the population with forward head posture is getting younger and younger.  Did you know that when you bend your neck forward at varying angles the amount of pressure on the neck multiplies? 

Research studies show varying percentages of patients presenting with forward head posture.  One research study performed in 2020 shows that 73% of university students present with forward head posture (Singh, Kaushal, & Jasrotia, 2020).  Other studies show a prevalence of 67% among university students (Ramalingam & Subramaniam, 2019) and 63% among adolescents ages 12 to 16 years of age (Verma et al., 2018). 

Symptoms of Forward Head Posture

If you have forward head posture, you may be experiencing these symptoms, or can develop these symptoms later on:

  • Neck pain: your neck feels tight or stiff
  • Shoulder tightness: your shoulders feel tight, especially after a long day of work
  • Headaches: you may experience headaches that can start in your neck and go up to your head
  • Migraines: heightened sensitivity combined with poor posture may result in a migraine
  • Jaw pain: you may experience clicking of your jaw or pain in the jaw
  • Pain down your arm: you may experience pain that radiates from your neck down your arm to your hand

How Can Forward Head Posture Affect Your Health?

If forward head posture is left uncorrected, it may impact your health in multiple ways.  For example, forward head posture may be a contributing factor to these health affects:

  • Decreased neck range of motion: neck stiffness with difficulty moving your head to one side or the other.
  • Respiratory dysfunction: long-term respiratory dysfunction can result in hyperventilation, mouth breathing, laboured chest breathing, and stress to your body.
  • TMJ dysfunction: the temporomandibular joint is the joint in your jaw to open and close your mouth.  Forward head posture may impact your jaw.
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome: pain in your wrist and hand can occur from spending many hours typing while sitting in poor posture. 
  • Impaired balance: the position of your neck impacts how your body balances upright.  With forward head posture you have increased risk of falling.

Prevention Strategies

Simple switches to your posture habits can help you prevent postural distortion patterns.  Focusing on improving your back, neck, and head posture to prevent forward head posture.  A postural distortion pattern in one quadrant of your body can impact the alignment of the rest of your body. 

We have helped some clients avoid spinal surgery with these approaches. Don’t delay.

Treatment Options

Postural correction treatment plans consist of 3 primary components: (1) Spinal Alignment (2) Posture Rehabilitation and (3) Posture Habit Re-Education. 

This comprehensive program of postural correction will help you achieve a posture transformation to look better, move better, and feel better.

Why people experience emotional breakdowns?

      No Comments on Why people experience emotional breakdowns?

We are seeing an increasing amount of mental health issues in the wake of COVID 19. This has become such a major issue that Singapore is actually going to ramp up the number of psychologists available. Here we will look at our significant experience of working in this area for the last thirty-five years and identifying what you can do to protect yourself.   

Exploring Causes and Triggers of Emotional Breakdowns

Understanding the causes and factors that contribute to emotional breakdowns is pivotal in managing its impact on mental health. Several lifestyle and environmental factors can trigger and perpetuate breakdowns. These include:

1. Poor Diet: Processed foods, excessive sugar, unhealthy fats, and food sensitivities can all contribute to chronic inflammation. Research shows that a diet high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats can aggravate stress response.

2. Sedentary Lifestyle: Lack of physical activity has been associated with increased stress levels. Regular exercise, on the other hand, has been shown to reduce stress.

3.Epigenomics: Epigenomics studies involve a set of chemical modifications not encoded within DNA, which orchestrate how and when genes are expressed. In other words, the study of epigenomics explores heritable, reversible modifications of DNA and chromatin that do not change primary nucleotide sequences. Some people have biochemical and emotional epigenetic tendencies that can be triggered by nutritional deficiencies and challenging lifestyle choices and precipitate a breakdown

4. Chronic Stress: Stress triggers the release of stress hormones, which can trigger an emotional breakdown.

5. Unresolved Trauma: Unresolved trauma from early childhood can trigger potential breakdowns later on in life.

Interventions to reduce breakdown triggers and manage them:

Thankfully, we possess a range of interventions that can help reduce breakdowns. Here are some evidence-based strategies:

1. Balanced Diet: Embrace an anti-inflammatory diet comprising fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids.

2. Regular Exercise: Engaging in moderate-intensity exercise for at least 30 minutes most days of the week can significantly stress and support emotional regulation..

3. Correcting dysfunctional epigenomics: Doing gene testing to identify epigenetic triggers and designing a lifestyle and nutrigenomic program to address it.

4. Stress Management Techniques: Incorporate stress reduction techniques into your routine, such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, and regular relaxation practices. These activities can help alleviate chronic stress

4. Adequate Sleep: Sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality can trigger breakdowns. Prioritize good sleep hygiene for a minimum of 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.

5. Trauma Therapy: Doing emotional and psychological interventions to address the roots of this trauma.

We recently had a senior executive who developed disabling anxiety attacks. They were so severe that he would have to stop his car on the highway because he was unable to cope. By identifying his triggering factors precisely and making targeted nutrigenomic interventions and basic mindfulness techniques, his disabling condition was significantly reduced in 12 weeks.   

Conclusion

Addressing causes and triggers that precipitate breakdowns is key to preventing and managing emotional breakdowns. By adopting a lifestyle encompassing a nutrigenomic regime, regular exercise, stress management, trauma therapy (if required) and quality sleep, we can improve our overall health and well-being. Let us embrace the power of self-care and take charge of our long-term health by managing our life quality effectively.

Remember, always consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before making any significant changes to your lifestyle or implementing new interventions.

Secrets of Weight Loss

Secrets of Weight Loss

Why does the standard advice about weight loss about exercise more and diet not work for you? What causes some people to be more prone to indigestion? Why do some people have higher energy level from vigorous exercise while other tire out easily? The answer: We are all unique individuals.

A single drop of blood contains a biochemical make-up as unique to you as your fingerprint.  Many of these biological differences are now being explained by the science of blood type. 

Culling from over 35 years of experience treating over 12,000 patients, I have concluded that food sensitivities, fatty liver, intestinal dysbiosis and carbohydrate intolerance are among the main culprits for weight gain. This protocol is combined with the fundamentals of the blood type theory as researched and founded by Dr Peter D’Adamo, the writer of New York Best Seller Eat Right for Your Type for this weight loss and disease prevention program.

Causes for Weight Gain

1) Food Sensitivities– If you have a food sensitivity or intolerance, when you take an offensive item, it would often result in the decrease of the body’s metabolic activity and fluid retention in attempt to dilute the circulating toxic substances resulting in weight gain.  

2) Fatty Liver – Toxic substances often impact the hormonal and hepatic system by slowing it down, increasing free radical production that utilizes essential nutrients. This further affects the rate of carbohydrate utilization. All of this results in weight gain.

3) Dysbiosis/Leaky Gut – Imbalance in the digestive system because of parasites, candida and insufficient digestive enzymes. Endotoxin (internal production of toxins) production from gut dysbiosis reduces basal metabolic rate resulting in weight gain.   

4) Insulin Spike – Inability to metabolise carbohydrates results in the insulin mechanism being overreactive, thus more carbohydrate is stored away as fat rather than being utilized. This results in weight gain. This is how one inappropriate meal a day can put make you put on weight rather than six appropriate meals a day.

5) Indoles, indigestion and polyamines – These factors can increase tissue toxicity. Increased tissue toxicity results in weight gain and fluid retention.

6) Sleep deprivation – Its not just about sleeping enough. Its also about when you sleep.

What is one man’s meat is another’s poison. Everyone is unique – all you need to do is take a quick look around to realize this. Why does a diet work so well on one person but not the other? How is one person able to thrive on a high-carbohydrate diet, while another person gets more sluggish?

Dr James D’Adamo’s initial observations of individuals under naturopathic inpatient treatment showed that certain kinds of people improved on different types of diet.

The scientific basis of the theory is based on three ‘legs’ or assumptions. The first is that all foods contain lectins, proteins which can cause ‘clumping together’ of cells and damage to various organs. The effect of different lectins depends on blood type, according to D’Adamo, so that a food which is beneficial to a type O person can be damaging to a type A person.


The second assumption is that blood type affects digestion, so that the nutrients gained from foods will differ from type to type, and interactions with bacteria in the intestine will be different, so that for instance, feelings of indigestion and bloating are because of eating the wrong foods for a particular blood type.

The last assumption is that secretion of enzymes and digestive juices are different from type to type. Type O will digest meat easily because they have higher levels of stomach acid than other types.

Serrapeptidase: A Naturalzyme for Your Health

      No Comments on Serrapeptidase: A Naturalzyme for Your Health

In today’s world, more and more individuals are seeking natural remedies to support their healthcare. One such option gaining popularity is serrapeptidase, a powerful enzyme with numerous potential benefits. In this blog post, we will explore the functions and benefits of serrapeptidase in healthcare, backed by case histories, studies, and real-life examples.

What is Serrapeptidase?

Serrapeptidase, also known asatiopeptidase, is an enzyme derived from the silkworm. It has gained recognition for its ability to break down proteins, thereby reducing inflammation and promoting various healing processes in the body.

Benefits of Serrapeptidase

1. Reduces Inflammation: Serrapeptidase has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, sinusitis, and bronchial inflammation. By breaking down inflammatory substances, it helps alleviate pain and swelling.

2. Supports Respiratory Health: Studies have shown that serrapeptidase can help clear excess mucus and improve breathing in those suffering from respiratory conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis. This may result in improved lung function and enhanced overall respiratory health.

3. Eases Pain and Promotes Wound Healing: The enzyme has been widely used as a natural pain reliever due to its ability to inhibit the release of pain-inducing chemicals. Moreover, by enhancing circulation and accelerating tissue repair, serrapeptidase promotes faster healing of wounds, injuries, and surgical incisions.

Real-Life Stories

– Sarah, a 38-year-old woman diagnosed with sinusitis, struggled with frequent sinus infections and persistent congestion. After incorporating serrapeptidase into her daily regimen for a few weeks, Sarah experienced a significant reduction in sinus pressure and a clearer nasal passage.

– Jack, a 45-year-old man suffering from arthritis, found himself reliant on pain medication for relief. However, upon starting serrapeptidase supplements, he experienced reduced joint pain and increased flexibility, allowing him to enjoy activities he had long abandoned.

Drawbacks and Limitations

While serrapeptidase offers many potential benefits, it’s important to consider potential drawbacks and limitations:

1. Digestive Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience digestive discomfort, including diarrhea and stomach upset, when taking serrapeptidase supplements. Starting with a low dosage and gradually increasing it can help minimize these side effects.

2. Interactions with Medications: Serrapeptidase may interact with certain medications, such as blood-thinning drugs, antibiotics, or immunosuppressants. If you are taking medications, it is essential to consult with your healthcare provider before adding serrapeptidase to your regimen.

Serrapeptidase is a natural enzyme with potential health benefits, backed by case histories and scientific studies. Its functions include reducing inflammation, supporting respiratory health, alleviating pain, and promoting wound healing. While individuals have experienced positive outcomes with serrapeptidase, it is essential to note potential side effects and consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

As interest in natural remedies and alternative treatments grows, serrapeptidase offers a promising option for those seeking to enhance their overall wellbeing. When used responsibly and under professional guidance, serrapeptidase can contribute to a healthier and more vibrant life.
