What is the “State of the Union” in Your Body? © Dr. Eileen Silva 2006

The human body is a remarkable union of interacting systems that, when operating at peak performance, keeps the body in perfect health. However, when one system is out of whack, the whole union suffers. Dr. Eileen Silva recently gave a “New Year, New You Teleseminar” that addressed these body systems and their remarkable union and some of the common problems that appear when this union is upset. (This complimentary audio teleseminar is available at http://www.dreileensilva.com/). As a follow-up to the overwhelming response to this teleseminar, Dr. Eileen Silva has agreed to offer an innovative “New Year, New You Bootcamp.”

In this mentorship program, Dr. Silva and her guest speakers, Dr. Stan "Breathrough" Harris, Lee Causey, and Dr. Wendy Guess, will address participants’ metabolic health challenges in the privacy and comfort of participants’ own homes through live teleseminar calls each Tuesday evening from 8-9 PM, Central Time, during the month of February 2006, beginning on Feb. 7th. For those who aren’t available during these time slots, or those who want to revisit the course, a recording will be available to the teleseminar participants.

In her latest book, A Healthier You, Dr. Silva writes, “My role is to help you collect obscure clues and telltale signs of body chemistry imbalances, to offer you an easy blueprint for health you can follow for the rest of your life.” In the “New Year, New You Bootcamp,” Dr. Silva will offer participants hands-on mentoring to address health and metabolic concerns and guide them in a new approach to regaining control of their health.

The following topics are samples of what will be included in this life-changing bootcamp:

· Exercising Right for Each Body Type to get Maximum Results
· Detoxing, Cleansing, Oxygenating for Non-Surgical Body Re-Contouring
· Restoring the Body’s Balance for Size Management and Staying Disease-Free
· Overcoming the Obstacles of Aging and Deterioration
· Preventing Dementia through Lifestyle
· Opportunities to ask Questions of Top World-Renowned Experts

During the bootcamp, Dr. Silva and guests will guide participants through accomplishing tasks, goals, and lifestyle changes. In addition, campers will receive encouraging weekly email support and surprise bonuses. Each live, 60-minute, teleseminar call will have a Q & A time at the end. The bootcamp will also become available as a recording for participants.

Heavy Metal Poisoning © Dr. Eileen Silva 2006

Go to the mirror and take a peak at the fillings in your teeth. If they are silver, then you have silver amalgam fillings that contain mercury, a poison. Mercury is not a substance that some of us are sensitive to. Mercury is a poison that negatively affects us all.

I personally was diagnosed with an incurable “autoimmune disease” thirty-one years ago, and I thought I was dying for over ten years. Come to find out, I was actually mercury poisoned!

With this in mind, you need to glance at the ingredients in your antiperspirant deodorant. Do you see “aluminum” listed? Check out your kitchen. Are you using aluminum foil? Do you have aluminum baking pans and cookie sheets? If the answer to these questions is “yes,” it is vitally important for your overall health and immune strength that you take action steps immediately to strip these heavy metals from your body.

These heavy metals, incidentally, also cause the cholesterol to collect on arterial walls, resulting in increased risk of heart attack and/or disease. Approximately ¾ million Americans succumb to heart disease each year. Every 20 seconds someone suffers a heart attack or stroke.

There is a definite correlation between our American lifestyle and heart disease. We eat too much, we eat too fast, and we eat on the run. Stress is taking its toll on just about all of us. We often combine erratic eating with poor food choices and lack of consistent exercise. We shouldn’t be surprised, then, that almost half of us are dying (either rapidly or by inches) from heart disease.

Chelation, a process of removing debris from the arteries, is the quickest way to eliminate already accumulated toxic metals. By reducing or eliminating this metal from your system, you will also help reduce cholesterol, which clings to the metal. Some people have had intravenous chelation treatments done for heart problems and/or metal poisoning.

Take steps to prevent further metal poisoning. Have your dentist use other substances for fillings than silver amalgam. Where aluminum is concerned, it’s better to be safe than sorry! Get rid of all those inexpensive camping pots and get safer cookware and bakeware, like stainless steel. Use foil sparingly. Use grilling baskets for outdoor cooking. Buy and store foods in glass containers whenever possible.

You can also minimize aluminum damage by making sure you are using an aluminum-free deodorant. Finally, follow a healthy heart protocol, which emphasizes body system cleansing and a diet rich in minerals and enzymes. Why not make these simple lifestyle changes to enjoy a heart-healthy life?

Amazing Free Medicine © Dr. Eileen Silva 2006

Have you noticed that everything costs more and more these days? Food, gas, medicines . . . it all just gets worse and worse. But, in spite of this situation, I have great news for you! One of the best medicines you can get for a healthy body is actually free. This wonderful medicine helps all of your body’s systems function better; in fact, without it, they don’t function well at all. What is this inexpensive and essential medicine? It’s water, just plain pure water!

Surprised? I’m sure you’ve heard that a great percentage of the body is made of water, but did you realize that every system in your body depends on water to function properly? Without it, you don’t absorb nutrients and vitamins, you get constipated, have more kidney stones and urinary infections, and you can become dehydrated.

If you get dehydrated, your blood gets thicker, and your heart has to work harder to circulate it. Even your brain feels sluggish, and you can have trouble concentrating, if you don’t have enough water. Did you realize that water has such an effect on you?

Water also actually helps you lose weight by suppressing your appetite and helping your cells function properly. It helps your body cope with colds and allergies, often alleviating symptoms and speeding recovery time. Water helps your skin regain its healthy, glowing appearance.
Can you believe such an inexpensive item can do so much good?

But, remember, this is pure water I am talking about, not teas, coffees, or sodas. In fact, any drink with caffeine is actually a diuretic and takes water out of your system, so if you drink them, you need to drink extra water to compensate. However, you can add lemon or lime to your water for flavor, and this is an excellent way to add Vitamin C.

If you are still trying to think of an easy, yet healthy resolution to make for this New Year, allow me to suggest a rather painless one: Drinking More Water. This simple change will help your body in so many ways because water is an intricate part of the body and its functions. If you are interested in more simple lifestyle changes that can radically affect your health, email me at ensilva.com and ask about other special reports.

Isn’t it great that, even with our high cost of living, there is something that we can all afford to do for our health? Drink up . . .

Happy New Year !

I'll Drink to That © Dr. Eileen Silva 2006

If you’re like me, you’ve got good intentions about eating right and drinking healthy beverages. After all, we are now the most informed consumers on the planet about what’s hip and what’s not.

You’ve probably heard the primary negatives about caffeine: it keeps you up, it elevates blood pressure, and it interferes with sleep . . .

Well, listen up, coffee lovers, I have great news for you! According to a recent US News and World Report, not only is coffee good for you, but researchers have actually refuted those aforementioned dreaded negatives. If you email me (eileen@eileensilva.com), then I will send you the complete article.

Caffeine doesn’t over-stimulate a system that has had some caffeine exposure; it simply enhances mental acumen. One of the most important things you can ever do for your brainpower is to keep thinking. Use it or lose it!

A large study done at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine has dispelled the blood pressure rumor. I had actually wondered about it myself since mine has never reported any elevation. At the age of 58, after drinking two mugs of black coffee, I had my blood pressure tested: 160/63. I thought that maybe I was the exception to the rule, but apparently not. Of course, I do a lot of ongoing liver and circulatory cleansing.

As for interfering with sleep, there is definitely a tie-in for those who aren’t used to having caffeine late in the day, but if you’re used to it, there is probably no harm done there.

Now for the shocker of them all! The antioxidants in coffee are extremely helpful in fighting disease and the aging process. If you enjoy a reasonable amount of caffeine, you will enjoy a metabolic enhancement as well as improved elimination.

Black coffee is also a treat that comes with Zero calories. A tip for those of you who still use sugar and cream, it takes 12 days or less to break that habit, so simply force yourself to take it black for 12 days, and you will kick the habit. If you delete just two cups of coffee a day with 2 teaspoons of sugar and a teaspoon of cream, you will save 48,180 calories in a year’s time: a whopping a 13 ½ pounds! Isn’t that an improvement worth working for?

There you have it! The new verdict just in . . . Coffee has now been exonerated from the guilt list and is actually now revered as a health food. I don’t know about you, but I’ll drink to that!
