My Testimonial

Growth at the age of 18 usually pertains to mental and physical changes of an affirmative nature-one entering long awaited adulthood. This transition is a defining moment, submerge within human mushrooming, that manifests the liberating self within-the adult. A period as such begs for last youthful, teenage, adolescent kicks before the initial throw into survival for personal prevail.. We always look back years later, reminisce of the high school times, of its euphoric, trivially troubled, apathetic and awkwardly clumsy moments with jubilance and just sigh. This sort of ease I was not granted with, for at this time I developed a gluten and dairy intolerance.

Starting with just simple pain, it escalated to chronic visits to the bathroom, metamorphose into crude IBS, simultaneously arousing a type of acid relax which brought nothing but unprecedented pain, discomfort, or simply-terrible depressing life. After many visits to the doctor, pills, pills, and more pills were prescribed. The assumed acid reflux did nothing but add to the issues. My stomach felt destroyed. I thought if I limited my food intake, such as spice, and just eat simple foods like bread symptoms would ease-they only showered. The details are terrible of the pain I underwent every day for about a year.

Turning to the internet and easing of pills helped. Soon I was on some holistic herbal pills (name I do not recall), which seemed to help. After months and months I finally stumbled onto a forum that matched my symptoms and I dove into its contents. Having never heard of gluten intolerance, and having an imbedded humor towards lactose intolerance there was no consideration of it. And then, somehow, by some cosmic infinitesimally small chance, Dr. Ettinger had a meager response to someone’s statement on this ambiguous forum. After reluctant search I reached his website and made an appointment. BEST DECISION, EVER.

At this point in time, I entered his office hopeless and depressed. The chemical spark within was never this lifeless. Following thorough dietary details Dr. Ettinger’s immediate response and conclusion was that I, in fact, was gluten intolerant and everything my body digested was poison for it. Skipping the initial shock, it was quite difficult to cope with such news and to develop an acute sensory as well as filtration system to accommodate my bodily needs. Trials and errors persisted, stumbles and falls waved in. Still, improvement showed. Slowly, but in actuality promptly, my body underwent a speedy rehabilitation and I felt amazing.

Remembrance of such joy, such avid taste of my anatomies equilibrium was elusive. I finally returned to my body’s normalcy. I still took in diary, only to realize a bit later that that too was an allergen. After its elimination I never felt better. It has now been about a year since I’ve been gluten and dairy free. It has been difficult but worth it. Crudely, perhaps in a bit exaggerated manner, I do not know if I would have survived without this simple analysis. I can now have gluten and dairy occasionally and feel no symptoms (if necessary). This is not some requested testimonial, there is no higher truth. Dr. Ettinger possesses healing knowledge for all, and I still joke around that he should somehow replicate himself in the health profession for others to benefit from. If I was a millionaire I would definitely pay him generously. Unfortunately I’m not, and I owe him greatly for all he’s done. I still visit whenever I can just for a check-up.

Best regards,

• Why did allergy to peanuts double from 1997 to 2002?
• Why does 1 in 17 children under the age of three have a food allergy
• Why has there been a 256% increase in the rate of hospitalizations (doctors admitting patients not parents) related to food allergies.

Robyn O’Brien shares her personal story and how it inspired her current path as a “Real Food” evangelist. Grounded in a successful Wall Street career that was more interested in food as good business than good-for-you, this mother of four was shaken awake by the dangerous allergic reaction of one of her children to a “typical” breakfast. Her mission to unearth the cause revealed more about the food industry than she could stomach, and impelled her to share her findings with others.

The below cycle of inflammation (also known as an inflammatory cascade) is one of the most profound contributors to ill health and disease we face. Once set in motion, this inflammatory cycle will feed itself and becomes harder to suppress. 75% of the patients I see are in my practice because of the effects inflammation is having on their body. 100% of these effects are a direct result of not following (step 6) at the bottom of the page. The easiest way to avoid disease and ill health is to remove as many stressors (step 1) out of your life.Step 1. Over-exposure or excessive physical, emotional and/or chemical stress’, leading to the activation of  a potent modulator of the inflammatory cycle.

Stressors: Radiation; oxidative stress; physical injury, bacterial endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from food-borne bacteria (E. coli and Salmonella); “Leaky Gut Syndrome”; food and environmental allergens; viral infections; excessive consumption of simple sugars (sucrose); consumption of corn oil; arachidonic acid metabolites such as PGE2; nutrient poor, processed food diet; insufficient Omega 3 fatty acids (ALA, EPA, DHA), insufficient GLA and Vitamin D deficiency.

Step 2. Activation of NF-κB

NF-κB is widely used by eukaryotic (cells that contain a nucleus) cells as a regulator of genes that control cell proliferation and cell survival (anti-apoptotic). Blocking NF-κB can cause tumor cells to stop proliferating, to die, or to become more sensitive to the action of anti-tumor agents.

NF-κB also controls many genes involved in inflammation (cytokines [signaling molecules used extensively in intercellular communication], cell adhesion molecules and the pro-inflammatory enzymes: inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS,) cyclo-oxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LPOX). NF-κB is found to be chronically active in many inflammatory diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, sepsis, gastritis, asthma, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular disease.

Step 3. Cytokines, cell adhesion molecules and the pro-inflammatory enzymes are produced.

*Interleukin-6 (IL-6) → C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Cyclooxygenase-2 → Prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2) and Thromboxanes
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) → Collagenase-3 (MMP-13)
Lipoxygenase → Leukotrienes
Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) → Nitric Oxide (NO)
Tissue Necrosis Factor (TNFα)
*Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs)

Step 4. Health conditions created by prolonged exposure to the above chemicals.

• Pain
• Inflammation (edema, swelling)
• Asthma and Hypersensitivity to Potential Allergens
• Cardiovascular disease
• Thrombosis (blood clots)
• Insulin resistance
• Autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s, Lupus…)
• Rheumatoid disease
• Neurodegeneration (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease)
• Cancer

Step 5. IL-1, PGE2, reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, TNFα and CRP created because of the above health conditions, facilitate the continued activation of NF-κB.

Step 6. In order to break the above inflammatory cycle, stressors need to be removed,  severely reduced or reversed. One of the easiest steps that can be taken is to eliminate table sugar, vegetable oil and hydrogenated fats out of the diet and add in Omega 3 fatty acids, in the form of fish and flax seed oil. Next, is to reduce animal protein (red meat) consumption to 6 ounces per day and add-in nutrient dense foods like: vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and beans. Increasing antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients is a cost effective measure that will pay dividends in the form of less sickness, disease and an increased life-span. Here are a few of my favorite nutrients that support  anti-inflammatory processes: molecularly distilled fish oil, natural vitamin C, chlorella, vitamin E, selenium, NAC, resveratrol, grape seed extract and curcumin. Here are a few of my favorite antioxidant rich (anti-inflammatory) fruits and vegetables: red bell pepper, tomato, cilantro, spinach, red cabbage, onion, garlic, strawberries, blueberries and red raspberries. Lastly, engaging in mild-moderate exercise (3 days/week), taking a broad-spectrum, enteric-coated probiotic and 4,000 – 10,000 IU’s of vitamin D3 per day, will round-out any  anti-inflammatory protocol.

Step 7. Proactive diagnostic blood tests to determine the presence and level of inflammation within the body, as well as tests that will determine risk for development of cardiovascular disease (heart attack) or cerebrovascular disease (stroke). Any of these tests can be ordered by calling our office 714-639-4360

• C-Reactive Protein (CRP) – High Sensitive (Cardiac)
• Homocysteine
• Fibrinogen
• Hemoglobin A1C
• IL-6 – Interleukin – 6
• Sed Rate (ESR)
• Lipid Panel
• D,25 Hydroxycalciferol – Vitamin D

*Atherosclerosis is strongly considered to be a low-grade inflammatory response of the arterial wall to a variety of stimuli in all aspects of coronary syndromes, from the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis to plaque rupture and myocardial cell death. In each of these steps, infiltration of cardiovascular tissue by inflammatory cells is evident and is regulated by a number of cytokines (IL-6 and CRP) and cell adhesion molecules.  Maseri A. N Engl J Med. 1997;336:1014-1016

Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia and is not a normal part of aging. Alzheimer’s disease is progressive and there is no known cure.

Alzheimer’s disease occurs when Two abnormal structures called plaques and tangles begin to form in the memory sections of the brain, and begin damaging and killing the nerve cells. Plaques are deposits of a protein fragment called beta-amyloid (BAY-tuh AM-uh-loyd) that builds-up in the spaces between nerve cells. Tangles are twisted fibers of another protein called tau (rhymes with “wow”) that builds-up inside cells. Though most people develop some plaques and tangles as they age, those with Alzheimer’s tend to develop far more.Below is an explanation of how the above occurs and is also one way to increase your odds for developing Alzheimer’s disease. This is also a way to increase your odds of dying of cardiovascular disease, stroke or cancer.

The diabetes, insulin and Alzheimer’s Disease connection – or – How to increase your chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease by living a traditional Western lifestyle.

First, you must eat a standard Western diet, which is also a high glycemic and high fat diet. The standard Western diet contains an over-abundance of added sugar (sucrose); starch; saturated, polyunsaturated and trans-fats (dairy, red meat and hydrogenated vegetable oil), and avoid a Mediterranean diet, which is abundant in fiber; fruits; vegetables; beans/legumes; nuts and seeds and monounsaturated fats (avocado, olive oil and fish rich in Omega 3 fatty acids).Second you must avoid exercise.

Third, you must limit your engagement in mental activities such as, but not limited to: continued education, crossword puzzles and social interactions (out-side of work).

The traditional Western lifestyle is a risk factor for the development of many diseases, and it will definitely contribute to the production of elevated triglyceride (fat) and glucose (sugar) levels in the blood. Elevated glucose in the blood will raise insulin (hormone) levels and is known as type 2 diabetes. When blood glucose is elevated for an extended period of time it begins to bind to the oxygen carrying component of our blood called hemoglobin. This combining of glucose and hemoglobin is known as glycated hemoglobin (glycosylated hemoglobin or A1C), and is a diagnostic marker used to monitor the long-term state (severity or healing) of a diabetes. As the glucose level in the blood increase, so does the concentration of glycated hemoglobin (A1C).

Glycation is a normal chemical reaction that glucose (sugar) will undergo in our body and usually increases as we age. Under certain pathologic conditions such as diabetes this process is abnormally accelerated and will lead to an overabundant production of a destructive class of chemicals known as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Some AGEs are benign, but others are more reactive than the sugars they are derived from, and are implicated in many age-related chronic diseases such as: cardiovascular diseases (the endothelium, fibrinogen, and collagen are damaged), Alzheimer’s disease (amyloid proteins are side-products of the reactions progressing to AGEs), cancer (acrylamide and other side-products are released), peripheral neuropathy (the myelin is attacked), and other sensory losses such as deafness (due to demyelination of auditory nerves). This range of diseases is the result of the very basic level at which glycations interfere with molecular and cellular functioning throughout the body and the release of highly-oxidizing side-products such as hydrogen peroxide.

Another pathologic component derived from following the above lifestyle (lack of exercise, high blood triglyceride and glucose levels) is an increase in IGF-1 production and a reduction in the passage IGF-1 into the brain. IGF-1 possesses many functions but in this context we are looking at its neuroprotective ability to inhibit the formation of beta-amyloid plaque and tau in the brain, which can lead to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

In summary, Reducing blood levels of triglycerides (below 150 mg/dL) and glucose levels (below 96 mg/dL); engaging in regular exercise (exercise increases the neuroprotective hormone Insulin-like-Growth-Factor’s passage into the brain) and continued education, will lower the risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Monolaurin - Monolauroylglycerin - Glycerol monolaurate

Lauric acid is a 12-carbon medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) found naturally in human breast milk (6.2% of total fat) and coconut oil (47.5% by weight). Lauric acid was originally discovered when microbiologists studied human breast milk to determine the protective (anti-viral and anti-bacterial) substances which protected infants from microbial infections. Other fatty acids were also found to have antimicrobial actions but lauric acid was found to be the most active.

The esterification of lauric acid, that naturally occurs in our body, yields an amazing compound known as monolaurin (glycerol monolaurate). Monolaurin is a non-ionic surfactant¹, which possesses an even greater anti-viral and anti-bacterial activity than its precursor, lauric acid. Monolaurin, when given orally, at therapeutic doses between 2,500 – 4,500 mg/day is generally well tolerated, with loose bowels as the only negative concern. Monolaurin has been studied at medical research centers, including the Center for Disease Control (CDC), because of its high antimicrobial (anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-yeast and anti-protozoal) activity. These studies have provided information about the anti-viral and anti-bacterial mechanisms of monolaurin. Monolaurin was found to be effective against certain Lipid Coated Bacteria (LCBs) and Lipid Coated Viruses (LCVs) – enveloped DNA and RNA viruses.

¹Surfactant: Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension of a liquid, allowing easier spreading, and lowering of the interfacial tension between two liquids, or between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may act as: detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants.

Lipid Coated Virus

HIV-1, Influenza virus, paramyxoviruses, rubeola virus, bronchitis virus, and the herpes family of viruses (Epstein-Barr, cytomegalo, zoster, vericella-zoster and herpes type I and II). Sadly, monolaurin had no effect on diseases caused by non-enveloped viruses such as polio virus, coxsackie virus, encephalomyocarditis virus, rhinovirus, and rotaviruses.

Lipid Coated Bacteria

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori),  Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae.

The anti-viral and anti-bacterial action attributed to monolaurin is that of solubilizing the lipids and phospholipids in the protective envelope of these particular infective agents causing the disintegration of the lipid envelope. Recent publications have shown that monolaurin and lauric acid inhibit the replication of viruses by interrupting the communication and binding of virus to host cells and thus preventing the uncoating of viruses necessary for replication and infection. Other studies have shown that monolaurin is able to remove all measurable infectivity by directly disintegrating the protective bacterial and viral lipid envelop. Binding of monolaurin to the viral envelop also makes the virus more susceptible to degradation by host defenses, heat, or ultraviolet light.

University of Milan researchers Carlotta Galeone, ScD, PhD, and colleagues analyzed data from over 14,000 people with and without head and throat cancer. The researchers found that those who drank more than four cups of coffee each day had a 39% lower risk of developing mouth or throat cancer than those who don’t drink coffee. Most head and neck cancers are linked to alcohol consumption and to smoking.  Interestingly, the researchers found that the protective effects of coffee was not diminished in drinkers or smokers. Nor is the effect boosted by the consumption of fruits and vegetables, also shown to protect against head and neck cancers.
