Ultra Lite weight loss testimonial 22 August 2011

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

August 22, 2011

Dear Dr.  Ettinger,

I wanted to thank you for you and your wife’s guidance through my weight-loss with Ultra-Lite.

I had spent more than 20 years well over 200 pounds and had tried other programs with limited results, unable to successfully lose over 30 pounds.  Ultra-Lite was the first program that I could maintain focus, eat real food (no processed foods), while losing weight. No loss of skin tone (wrinkles) and I actually ended up looking younger.

Your weekly guidance and check-ins were essential for me because I had decided not see any of my losses during weigh-ins (did not look at the scale and I did not want to know how much I was losing).  I was told weekly that I had great weight-loss but never the exact amount.  Having my measurements taken was important also because I knew I was losing inches, but I didn’t need to know the specifics. Sometimes my inches lost was greater than a weight loss. Others on the program, I am sure need to use the specific, weight-loss, information for motivation and they will get it. But for me, I would have just played around with the numbers and try to get away with cheating if I had known my exact weight-loss.  For me, not knowing my exact weight-loss enabled me to focus on just staying on program.

After a few weeks the healthy eating resulted in more energy with, of course, my cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar levels going down.  I lost 65 pounds in a matter of 7 months. Getting rid of all the size 20-24 clothes was so rewarding and now living a healthy lifestyle is very satisfying.

Thank you again,

M.D.
Orange, CA

Do we create/influence our level of health and ill health/disease?

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011
Siddhārtha Gautama

“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.”

“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.” Buddha

Do we create/influence our level of health and ill health/disease?

In over 22 years of helping thousands of patients, I would say that at least 90+% of our current state of health is self-created. 10% +/- is pure genetics, which may be influenced, negatively or positively, by our daily acts.

So, which diseases are predominately caused by US, knowingly/on-purpose (smoking, poor eating habits, lack of exercise, drugs, excessive alcohol, chemicals, avoidable stressors….) or unknowingly (basically, lack of knowing that the acts just listed are health damaging)?

First and foremost:

  • Diabetes (pre-diabetes and insulin resistance)
  • High Cholesterol
  • Hypertension / High Blood Pressure
  • Obesity / Over-Weight
  • Osteoporosis
  • Heart Disease
  • Cancer

Other conditions that are very strongly related to what we do or don’t do to our body:

  • Alzheimer’s
  • Auto Immune Conditions (middle age onset)

Which diseases respond the best to lifestyle modification (diet, exercise and target nutritional supplementation) than the do to potentially dangerous drugs?

  • Diabetes (pre-diabetes and insulin resistance)
  • High Cholesterol
  • Hypertension / High Blood Pressure
  • Obesity / Over-Weight
  • Osteoporosis
  • Heart Disease
  • Stomach and GI Conditions (Ulcer, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Disease, Crohn’s Disease…)
  • Eczema
  • Cancer (as a preventative more so than a treatment. Chemotherapy and radiation are even worse as a long-term treatment, as success is only measured as, “being alive five years post original diagnosis, no matter what the state the cancer is in at that time”).

The above disease states, as well as many more not listed, can and have be treated, with almost 100% effectiveness, utilizing lifestyle modifications, alone.

Here is a set of questions to see if there needs to be some attention paid to the topic of health. Please email me back with your responses and/or questions (cut and paste) – info@advancedhealing.com. If you are presently under active care, then this would apply to anyone you know that would benefit from my help.

Do you or someone you know have any of the above conditions?

  1. If there was an easy, safe, affordable and effective way to reverse the condition/disease would you be interested in knowing more about it?
  2. Is there something stopping you from getting better?
  3. Is there something about your present state of health that needs changing? What is it?
  4. If on a medication, would you like to get off of it, if it were possible?
  5. Do you ever complain about how bad you feel?
  6. Do you move with pain or lack of breath?
  7. Does having more energy, living longer and healthier interest you?
  8. Would you like to save money on your health care spending?

In 22+ years of active practice I have helped thousands of people, just like you, live happier and more productive lives. All without the use of harmful drugs. There is no better time to make your health a priority, than right now. You owe it to yourself to live every day to the fullest, without pain or illness.

I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Ettinger

Advanced Healing Center of Orange County, the practice of Dr. Marcus Ettinger BSc, DC. Phone: 714-639-4360, E-mail: info@advancedhealing.com, Mail: 630 South Glassell Street #103. Orange, CA 92866.

Four Important Facts Everyone Should Know about Weight-Loss:

1. “Maintaining your ideal weight over a life-time reduces your risk for developing degenerative conditions such as, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Maintaining your ideal weight will also lower your risk for having a stroke and pre-mature death. Best of all, maintaining your ideal weight will improve the quality of your sleep, love life and energy level!”

2. “Fad diets don’t work because people will only follow them for a limited time, before trying a new one.”

3. “There IS NO magic bullet when it comes to dieting and weight-loss.”

4. “Weight-loss and maintaining a healthy weight boils down to just three main components: education, proper dietary choices and routine physical activity.”


Orange County, CA: My goal in weight-loss and weight-management is to educate or re-educate my patients in the use of proper dietary habits, label reading, menu planning and physical exercise. Weight-loss and weight-management IS NOT DIFFICULT, and the formula for healthy weight-loss is almost identical for everyone, though my greatest successes have occurred when I get the whole family involved in the weight-loss process. I can and will help you lose all the weight you want, and I will help you keep it off. Through education, I will help you learn good eating and exercise habits – that will last a lifetime.

All weight-loss programs are tailored to an individual patients needs, based on: blood tests results, initial Body Mass Index (BMI)* weight-loss goals, physical limitations and time-frame. All weight-loss programs are designed to be easy to follow and become part of your healthy lifestyle. This is not just a weight-loss diet plan, it’s really a way of healthy living. My patients not only lose all the weight they want, they keep it off too. This is truly Sustained, Permanent and Long-Term Weight-Loss.

Developed in Australia and perfected in America. Here is my most successful and effective weight-loss program offered anywhere: The UltraLite Program. You can follow my personal journey on the UltraLite Program – here. As of this writing, I have successfully completed over 100 patients on the UltraLite program. This particular program also works to help normalize high blood pressure, high cholesterol and reverse pre-diabetes or diabetes.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Ettinger

Orange County UltraLite (weight-loss) Program – Day 3

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Orange County, CA.  January 20, 2010 – Morning of day three on the Orange County UltraLite (weight-loss) Program and I’m already down 4lbs – 170.5lbs. This is the first day of *ketosis as well, so now I expect the body fat to start dropping too.

*Ketosis is determined by dipping a ketone stick in to a specimen of morning urine.  The state of ketosis means that I am now burning body and liver fat, and one of the metabolic products of that reaction is a ketone body.  As long as I am in ketosis I will continually be burning fat, which will provide my body and brain the energy it needs to function. Most of the time we will burning glucose (blood-sugar) which comes from the carbohydrates (bread, corn, pasta, potato, rice, sugar…) we eat. The best part it that weight-loss comes from body fat reduction, not water or muscle loss.

Ketone Dip Stick Test

Ketone Dip Stick Test

Today I added my first supplement, Spectramin.  Spectramin is a comprehensive multi-mineral supplement.  The main reason for this addition is that the switch from a high-carbohydrate to a low-carbohydrate, “ketogenic” diet is fairly rapid, thus my body may temporarily go through a period of adjustment.  During this adjustment my body may require extra minerals, due to my body’s releasing excess fluids that were stored during high-carbohydrate eating.

In the first week or two of being on the Orange County UltraLite (weight-loss) Program, I expect a great deal of the weight-loss to come from elimination of retained water. Research suggests that the presence of higher than normal levels of insulin in the blood causes excess water retention in the body. This is due to the fact that sodium will be retained by the kidney’s and water will be stored to buffer the excess sodium. This process results in (water-retention, swelling, edema, puffiness) and is a primary cause of high blood pressure. This is why doctors will prescribe diuretics to patients with hypertension. Logically, wouldn’t be smarter to get the insulin levels down by reducing the patients carbohydrate intake?

The initial water loss is only a short-term effect and is entirely separate from the general weight loss produced through the loss in excess body fat.

Dr. Marcus Ettinger Loves Vegetables

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Fresh Fruit & Vegetables = Good Health

Fresh Fruit & Vegetables = Good Health

These are just some of the fresh fruits and vegetables we will be using for this weeks meals (1/3-8/2010).  Green, brown, red and white onions; cilantro; jalapeno and Serrano chilies; garlic; green cabbage; Roma tomatoes; celery; carrots; cucumber; red and green apple; banana; lemon and lime.  Already in the refrigerator: Romaine lettuce, cauliflower, flat-leaf parsley and broccoli.

Here are just some of the benefits that one may obtain from eating these fruits and vegetables.

Celery and Green Peppers/Chilies: Researchers at the University of Illinois have found that the plant compound, luteolin,  found in abundance in celery and green peppers can disrupt a key component of the inflammatory response in the brain.  Luteolin reduces IL-6 production in microglia by inhibiting JNK phosphorylation and activation of AP-1

Onion: Are rich in the bioflavinoids curcumin and quercetin.  This natural combination is effective in reducing oxidative stress.  Oxidative stress is known to trigger autoimmune disease development and contribute to disease flare-ups.  Studies show that onions support cardiovascular health, help prevent diabetes and atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of colon and stomach cancers.

Chilies Peppers: Frequent consumption of chilies may help fight migraine and sinus headaches; prevent sinusitis and relieve congestion; fight cancer; lower high blood pressure;  reduce inflammation; relieve Intestinal Diseases; help burn fat and lose weight; protect your heart.

Tomato: Are the best source for the antioxidant, Lycopene.  Lycopene has been shown to help protect not only against prostate, but breast, pancreatic and intestinal cancers, especially when consumed with fat-rich foods, such as avocado, olive oil or nuts (This is because carotenoids are fat-soluble, meaning they are absorbed into the body along with fats).  The lycopene in tomatoes may also provide cardiovascular benefits.  Diets rich in tomato products may significantly improve cholesterol profiles and reduce the tendency to form blood clots.

Carrot: Are by far one of the richest source of carotenoids-just one cup provides 16,679 IUs of beta-carotene and 3,432 REs (retinol equivalents), or roughly 686.3% the RDA for vitamin A.  High carotenoid intake has been linked with a 20% decrease in postmenopausal breast cancer and an up to 50% decrease in the incidence of cancers of the bladder, cervix, prostate, colon, larynx, and esophagus.  Falcarinol another active chemical in carrots promote colon health.  The development of emphysema my be reduced with a diet high in vitamin A, even in smokers.:

Apples: Are a rich source of phytochemicals (phenolics, flavonoids and carotenoids) and epidemiological studies have linked the consumption of apples with reduced risk of some cancers, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and diabetes.

Garlic: And its preparations have been widely recognized as agents for prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and other metabolic diseases, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, thrombosis, hypertension and diabetes.

Broccoli: Like other cruciferous vegetables (kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts), broccoli contains the phytonutrients sulforaphane and the indoles, which possess significant anti-cancer effects.  Broccoli also supports stomach health (anti H. pylori); supports sun-damaged skin; cardiovascular-protective; may prevent cataracts, osteoporosis (high in vitamin K), birth defects (high in folic acid) and is an immune system stimulator.
