Have you noticed after you turn a certain age things just start going south…and not just for the winter? You may be diligent and disciplined with your metabolic decisions. You may be relentlessly cross training to a point of pain. Even with all this effort your muscles feel mushy. Your skin begins to sag. Your waistline seems to be thickening and projecting out both forwards to the side and back. You are becoming blocky and soft. We are going through the process of organic decline associated with accelerated oxidative damage, hormonal retardation, and the fact that we are stuck in a society of filthy foods eroding environments and toxic people. The cellular sag, the ever enlarging waistline, and the triceps flapping are the signs of our inevitable decline. So are we to go gently into the night and become a just another rotted fruit on our sagging family tree of obesity, diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and massive adiposity? I say no… I say it’s time for you to fight… But first you must master Dr. Tom’s Metabolic vacuum technique.

Deep inside our bodies are internal organs. Each one of these internal organs is suspended by a string. I want you to picture your torso and pelvis in an upright position. Now I want you to picture that the skin on the front of your body has become transparent. Let’s take it one step further. Your pelvic floor represents a stage. Suspended above the stage are marionettes. These puppets are hanging from strings suspended from your diaphragm which represents the roof of the stage. Your stage actors suspended from these strains are your kidneys, your intestinal track and stomach, your liver, your spleen and a number of other very important actors all presenting up play known as your metabolic life. As we age and gravity, oxidative damage, injury, pregnancy for you ladies, necessary in sections, and a myriad of other micro injuries occur the strings to our actors began to sag and fatigue. We begin to suffer from what is known as this visceral ptosis. To put it bluntly our puppets begin to sag and drag. As our organs become Mal aligned in our bodies stagnation with in each organ occurs because it is not hanging freely in space but rather has fallen and is now compromised and compressed in its ability to function at optimal levels. This is especially true for our bowel and bladders. The southward movement of our entire stage and actors is good for anywhere from 3 to 10 inches of an increase in our waste girth So what do we do about our dragging puppets about our sagging bladders What do we do about this terrible thing known as visceral ptosis?

This is where we bring in what I call the metabolic vacuum. This vacuuming technique is nothing new. A very successful and popular bodybuilder and fitness guru in the past Frank Zane took the vacuuming exercise to another level. I have taken what I have learned from Frank Zane and modified it to complement what I know of both our metabolic and mental mainframes. By applying the following program for the next 30 days you will find that you will be able to improve your digestive functioning, enhance your bowel release abilities, and reduce your waistline by as much as 3 inches or more. Let’s get started.

First we must Block the Bloat:

If you’re bloating get ready for a fat coating!This is a phrase I used to describe the GI distress caused by an ingested toxic trigger like those described above and the obligatory threat response of the body felt as acute inflammation of the stomach, intestinal tract, and colon. Our bodies’ respond with an endogenous cascade of steroids to address the inflamed state of the digestive tract. This inevitability leads to the laying down of a “fat coat” directly over the inflamed bloated tissues– accumulation of centralized body fat (gut and butt distribution).

After eating a meal that is causing a Toxic Trigger response, first recognize that while you may have enjoyed that meal, that meal sure did not like you! Next, make a note of the type of food that caused the discomfort.

Here is what you CAN do to minimize the damage:

• Consume 1 ounce of apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar (NEVER white vinegar)
• Allow the acetic acid in the vinegar at least 15 minutes to work.
• In the morning consume 6 oz of Kefir with 1 tablespoon metabolic glutamine and 1 tsp of d- mannose. Immediately after ingesting this mixture take 4 capsule of GR8. Follow this protocol for the next 30 days to repair the damaged and restore bowel function.

2. Check all ingredient lists to avoid common Toxic Triggers as you grocery shop:

Soy Bean OilNasty stuff. Hydrogenated soy bean oils will be found to be the source of many of the chronic diseases commonly treated in Americans. Many essential functions in our bodies rely on three classes of prostaglandins (PG) which are produced from the fats within our diets.

The three classes of PGs are PG1, PG2, and PG3. To simplify this discussion think of PG1 & PG3 as the “good” PGs and PG2 as the “bad” PG. When PG2s are activated in the human body they will increase blood pressure, elevate cholesterol levels, violently increase inflammation in the joints and decrease the number of immune cells which fight to contain cancer cells within our body.

PG1 & PG3 assist our bodies in blood clotting, decrease our blood pressures, diminish cholesterol levels, decrease inflammation, and increase the natural killer cell activities necessary to retard tumor growth within our tissues. Hydrogenated oils block PG1 & PG3 production, allowing PG2 an unfair advantage, ultimately resulting in diseased tissues and sick bodies.

The story gets even worse for the American. Most of the hydrogenated oils come from the cheapest of the cheap soybean oils. Soybean consumption is linked directly to the development of dementia, prostate disease, and most significantly slows the metabolic rate of the human by retarding thyroid function.

**If you have a sluggish thyroid–try adding coconut oil to your diet–you may that find you have kick-started your thyroid again and no longer require your overpriced Synthroid**

BleachForget about wheat belly, more like Bleach Belly! When they transport the tons of bleached white flour produced in America they do not have to treat it with any pesticides. Why? Because when the bugs start to eat the flour they immediately drop dead. Take a hint from the dead bugs… Do not put this stuff in your mouth!

Refined white flour can be sprinkled in your flower bed and will kill off all the insect predators trying to pillage your village. The refining process uses caustic procedures to “prepare” the grains for mass marketing.

Refined white flour has been stripped of all of its mineral, vitamins, and amino acids–the nutrients which make bread worth eating in the first place! If the bread does not have whole wheat, oats or other whole grains as the first ingredient, then the matrix has had all of the life giving nutrient ripped from it. The “enriching” process is laughable as it is really nothing more than a few cheap B vitamins thrown back into the mix at worthless amounts.

We will soon discover the link between pancreatic cancer and the chlorine enhanced bleach molecule embedded in our children’s bread. Why wait for the research and 20 years of lobbyist smoke screens? Stop bleaching your kids!

CarrageenanA completely unnecessary food additive used in conventional and natural (even some organic) food and drink products, carrageenan could be causing digestive problems and even cancer, according to a report from organic watchdog group the Cornucopia Institute. Soy milk warnings, along with almond milk and even ice cream treats that may threaten health, are included in the report.

Carrageenan is a seaweed-derived ingredient used to create a better texture, or “mouthfeel,” in low-fat dairy products and dairy alternatives like soymilk. Often found in things like chocolate milk, sour cream, creamers, yogurt, ice cream and juices, carrageenan keeps ingredients in a suspended state so that they do not separate, eliminating the need to shake the product before you consume it.

“I bet most moms who choose organic food would rather shake the container than have it include an ingredient that might place their children at risk,” says Mark Kastel, co-founder of the Cornucopia Institute. “Not a very high level of inconvenience to provide a pure and natural food to your family.”
