Hi Everyone!

Alas!  It's here!  We have begun our Cooking for a Condictive Diet Series.  We will begin with 4 breakfasts, 4 lunches and 4 dinners for the Krispy Klean Detox (first 7 weeks) which is the most challenging.  Because it is an agressive detoxification diet; no meat, dairy or refined sugars (or any of its cousins) are allowed and only minimal whole grains - so those restrictions can make this a challenging time for our program participants, however, HELP IS HERE!

We will be broadcasting two videos a week showing you how to cook fabulous foods that heal addictive biochemistry.  Our Organic Chef, Chris, who is the Head Chef at Santa Cruz's Organic Restaurant, Cafe La Vie, will be preparing foods for you as well as discussing the many healing and tasty properties of his creations.  Chris' claim to fame is his unique ability to make Organic Cooking for a Condictive Diet an art that you can easily master!  Also, most of these dishes can be made is 15 minutes or less!

After we've finished the first 12 episodes for the Krispy Klean phase of the 101 Program, we'll move onto the Ark phase of the program.  During the Ark, which is the food plan you will settle into for a lifetime unless you decide to do periodic detoxifications which we do suggest, you will reintroduce lean, organic, pasture raised meats, fish, and raw dairy.  This will open a new edible universe which Chris and I will walk you through with many videos to come!  We will also be showing you how to make delicious, whole food, desserts with wholesome sweeteners such as agave and yucon.  These may be enjoyed occassionally on the Condictive food plan and are prepared to maintain healthy blood sugar levels as well as provide the satisfaction and enjoyment desserts are meant to serve up while not jepordizing your health or freedom from addiction!

There are foods that encourage addiction to alcohol, sugar and refined carbs as well as cause depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, mental/physical fatigue and a plethora of other symptoms that plague us today and drive many to addictive behaviors such as alcohol and drug abuse as well as pharmacuetical dependencies. A condictive diet, which is the foundation of The 101 Program is an organic, insulin sparing one that not only prevents but will heal these conditions.

It is the refined, denatured foods made of commercial unethical growing and processing techniques that has created the epidemic illnesses of today and only through removing them from your diet will you be able to achieve healing and health.

I am ecstatic to bring you this series...finally!
Be well!

Hi Everyone!

Genita Petralli will be on the Larry W. show on Recovery Talk Network this Monday night (Nov. 5^th) at 8pm PDT.  She will be sharing a lot of information you can use to get and stay well so tune in!

The Recovery Talk Network (www.recoverytalknetwork.com) can be heard in over 11 million cable households in 33 states, worldwide on the internet over CRN Digital Talk and live in Boston on WBIX 1060AM.  For cable system channel information or to listen live, please go to http://www.crntalk.com/ and join in by calling 800-336-2225. 

Typically, the first major symptom is digestive disorders.  These foods simply do not provide the enzymatic fortitude within the microflora of the gut to digest food.  Grains in particular are difficult to digest because they have only recently been introduced into our diet in the last 10,000 years which is nothing compared to the millions of years our cells have been adapting to a grain-free buffet of vitamins, EFA's, minerals, and amino acids.  And actually, it has only been in the last 100 years that grain consumption has become a dangerously major portion of the common diet.  This is why people develop allergies to it.  It is overly consumed and the body has a difficult time digesting it as well as metabolizing and detoxing the many chemicals that come with it care of commercial farming.  These by products build up, get in the way of healthy cell functioning and the body in turn, turns against it and provides symptoms to let  you know it doesn't want it anymore.

Many people are actually allergic to the grains in alcohol and this can actually serve to develop an addiction to alcohol.

Gluten is also an unhealthy component of many grains.  The fact alone that gluten is often used for stamp and envelope glues should scare anyone away.  Gluten is acid forming which throws off the gut's pH and makes it impossible to efficiently digest.  Not digesting well leads to malnutrition and this leads to imbalanced brain chemistry.  Gluten is sticky and gummy and literally lines the walls of the intestines which causes damage and malabsorption of nutrients.  This gumming up of the intestines is also experienced by tissue and blood cells throughout the body.  Cells become clogged and are unable to breath, detoxify- (eliminate poisons from within the cell wall), ingest nutrients, and communicate with other cells.  This sets the stage for many degenerative diseases- and if you follow the increased grain consumption reports, you will see that degenerative diseases have become epidemic with the increase of grain in the American diet.  Sugars and grains are the two most dangerous products when it comes to these diseases and many others.

So, what is the best way to include breads in your diet?  First, make sure you are not allergic.

Definitely steer clear of refined grains which are mucous forming and are glue-like in your intestines.  Refined grains are also a key player in developing neurotransmitter deficiencies and brain chemistry imbalances which can lead to addictive biochemistry.

Definitely avoid commercially farmed grains.  They are drenched in pesticides and many times are genetically modified.  Use organic always!

Avoid gluten containing grains such as wheat, barley, rye, oatmeal, and spelt.  Whole grain rice can be enjoyed occasionally, but rice is acid forming so keep it to a minimum.

The good for you grains that are actually seeds but pass as grains on the plate are millet, quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat.

Sprouted is preferred for many reasons, sprouting actually reduces the acids in grain which protect you from pH imbalances and serve to better digest the grain.

Also, look for seed (pumpkin, sunflower, etc.) breads, they are typically higher in protein and lower in carbs.

No sugar!

No soy!  And this includes soy lecithin which is commonly labeled as "vegetable oil".

A little honey or molasses once you are on the Ark program after the Krispy Kleen Detox is okay.

And remember, do the right thing for your body and you do the right thing for the planet!

Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure - The Biochemical Solution

How to Shop for a Condictive Diet

The Dangers of Commercial, Denatured Foods and Why You Must Buy Organic to Heal and Avoid Addictive Biochemistry

Commercial farms use millions of tons of pesticides every year in the U.S. alone.  Pesticides are neurotoxic which means they cause damage to brain and nerve cells which disrupts neurological and hormonal systems.  We know that the home of alcoholism is in the neuroendocrine system so anything that disrupts the delicate balance of required neurotransmitters and hormones will produce symptoms that can lead someone into addictive biochemistry and ultimately addiction.

First, I want to dispel the urban legend that organic is more expensive than commercial, denatured foods.  It's simply not true.

Please visit http://www.mercola.com/2005/feb/16/organic_food.htm and read the study that a naturopathic student did on organic versus commercial foods.  She created a one week meal plan for her family of three and did an oz for oz, serving for serving price comparison.  She actually saved $1.22!

Also, what is not taken into account in this article or the study is that organic, whole food diets do not promote insulin resistance.  This means that you won't be experiencing false hunger throughout the day.  False hunger is generated in those suffering insulin resistance because insulin can't deliver glucose from the blood into the cells of the body to provide the energy that fuels the body's many processes.  The brain is the first to bear witness to "perceived" low blood sugar (when in actuality blood sugar is high, it just can't get into the brain cells) because although it only represents about 3% of total body weight, it consumes about 30% of available energy.  When brain fuel goes down, the brain thinks you need more food to boost its fuel source and will cause hunger to prompt you to eat.  Low brain glucose is also a major contributor to the symptoms that presently addicted and former alcohol addicted folks who dive into the refined carb, sugar bowl, and coffee cup experience such as anxiety, depression, nervousness, hyper reactivity, uneasiness, mental / physical fatigue, lack of focus, emotional instability etc. These symptoms are actually the #1 cause of relapse and since AA promotes the use of sugar, refined carbs and coffee to quell alcohol cravings, it becomes easy to understand why their success statistics are so dismal and why "dry-drunk" has become a household word.   Those who do not focus on healing and adopt a whole food, preferably organic diet will continue to suffer their own combination of the above symptoms until they relapse and resume self-medicating these horrific symptoms.

Bottom line: when you eat an organic, whole food styled diet, you will not experience false hunger and you will naturally eat for your energy levels and therefore will consume less food and save even more money.

Below are a few of the many reasons you should practice an organic, whole food diet to heal and sustain addictive biochemistry:

• In addition to being a strong contributor to addictive biochemistry due to the damage they cause to the neuroendocrine system, neurotoxins in pesticides can lead to cellular DNA damage, ADD, ADHD, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, simply any and all conditions associated with the deterioration and disruption of the neuroendocrine system.

• Pesticides produce free-radicals which are linked to the development of cancer.

• The body doesn't recognize the fillers and modified food stuffs that are included in processed foods resulting in cellular waste and unusable "garbage" accumulating in the blood and tissues.

• Not only does conventional produce have far less nutritional value, but the toxins they come with actually exhaust what nutritional stores a person that eats it may have.

• Cross contamination - all drugs and pesticides are tested in clinically controlled environments. Environments that we do not live in.

• Load down the liver- anyone that has been drinking for any length of time should be focused on rebuilding liver health and tissues, not destroying it more.

Also, if you're not eating organic you are getting a large dose of genetically modified (GMO) products in  food supply.  The dangers associated with GMO foods are extremely alarming and even the best of scientists - even the ones that created them can't even begin to comprehend the ultimate impact these foods that are mutating our cells will have on the human race.

What's wrong with Genetic Engineering?
by By Organic Consumers Association

for an in-depth study of genetically modified foods so that you may protect yourself, your family and your future off-spring!

"Genetic engineering is a radical new technology, one that breaks down fundamental genetic barriers -- not only between species, but between humans, animals, and plants. By combining the genes of dissimilar and unrelated species, permanently altering their genetic codes, novel organisms are created that will pass the genetic changes onto their offspring through heredity. Scientists are now snipping, inserting, recombining, rearranging, editing, and programming genetic material. Animal genes and even human genes are being inserted into plants or animals creating unimagined transgenic life forms. For the first time in history, human beings are becoming the architects of life. Bio-engineers will be creating tens of thousands of novel organisms over the next few years. The prospect is frightening. Genetic engineering poses unprecedented ethical and social concerns, as well as serious challenges to the environment, human health, animal welfare, and the future of agriculture."

What's good for you is good for the planet...the more organic foods we buy the more the demand goes down for pesticide drenched and genetically modified foods therefore the earth and nearby animals get a break too.

And remember, disease is always far more expensive than preventative health practices.  And you can't put a price on the quality of life healthy diets provide!

Look at Produce Stickers. Those little stickers on fruit and vegetables contain different PLU codes depending on whether the fruit was conventionally grown, organically grown or genetically modified. The PLU code for conventionally grown fruit consists of four numbers, organically grown fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number nine, and GM fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number eight.

The 101 Program is founded on the view that the microcosm mirrors the macrocosm and vice-versa; when your molecular biochemistry is in chaos, so is your life.  Using the principles and practices of orthomolecular medicine, This Program educates you in the biology of your challenge, arming you with all the instruction and information you need to free yourself from addiction once and for all.

Lindsay Lohan is drinking again- no surprise - find out why she is just another victim of a very  inadequate and broken treatment system.

Author of Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure, Genita Petralli H.H.P., N.C., M.H., shares why AA has a 3% success rate with rehabs exhibiting similar dismal success rates and why there is a huge gap between what science knows those addicted to alcohol need to recover and why they don't get it in conventional treatment or AA.  Inform your listeners not only why AA has such discouraging success rates but how to solve the problem once and for all.  Ms. Petralli reminds your listeners that AA is not at fault; it is not a treatment, it is a support group and because people use it as a stand-alone treatment they set themselves up for failure.  Also, when they do seek treatment, they will rarely find success in these venues as well because conventional treatment facilities do not offer what those addicted to alcohol need: biochemical repair through Targeted Nutritional Therapy (TNT) for those that have demonstrated addictive biochemistry and mind/body energy healing.  These two methods together actually cure the addiction by alleviating the symptoms that the problem drinker uses alcohol to self-medicate.

Genita Petralli is a naturopathic medical board licensed Holistic Healthcare Practitioner, Nutritional Consultant, Master Herbalist and an orthomolecular nutritional biochemist who specializes in addictive biochemistry. She is founder and president of Alternative Approaches to end Alcohol Abuse. AAAA facilitates The 101 Program; the proven orthomolecular treatment that cures alcoholism and addictive biochemistry of which Ms. Petralli is author and Program Director.   Ms. Petralli is on a mission to educate the public regarding the true cause of alcoholism and how to actually cure it.   Ms. Petralli's treatment and book is endorsed by the infamous Dr. Abram Hoffer M.D., Ph.D., whom worked directly with Bill Wilson, co-founder of AA.  Many people do not know the Mr. Wilson's life passion in his later years was to get the biochemical repair that orthomolecular medicine provides for alcoholics into the AA experience.  See http://the101program.com/ for more details about Ms. Petralli's work.
