Back to School

The “back to school” rituals are here for all of us this September. |
 |
Hard to believe that the summer has come and gone. The “back to school” rituals are here for all of us this September. We brought our oldest daughter, Claudia, up to college in Massachusetts over the weekend to begin her freshman year. It was a heartfelt moment for me as I recalled her as a newborn—a beautiful little baby who needed everything as she began life in the world. Now she is a beautiful young woman who is spreading her wings and embarking on a new journey.
Emily, our younger daughter, began her sophomore year in high school. She is
experiencing life without her big sister, and it’ll take her some time to get
her rhythm. I expect that she’ll be hitting her new stride pretty quickly, and
I am looking forward to having some one-on-one time with her. We have a little
breathing room, and before we know it, we’ll be looking at colleges with Emily.
I started my Clinic shift at the University of Bridgeport two weeks ago. It’s
been a long time since I’ve been in an academic environment, and I am totally
loving it. I’ve got great students, I enjoy teaching, and it is causing me to
stay on top of my material! UB is a great school, and the clinic provides tremendous
health care services. My shift is called the Personalized Medicine shift, and
it is a great way for people who cannot afford to go to a private practice to
receive quality medical care in a nurturing environment. For more information
on the shift, you can go to https://www.bridgeport.edu/pages/2638.asp
NAP is going into the fall full-throttle. We are launching the SWAMI
Xpress™ software, which is an amazingly dense program designed to personalize
your dietary and nutritional programs. I created it specifically to enhance the
material presented in both Eat Right and The GenoType™ Diet, and all early reports
are that it is surpassing expectations. Personally, having done the programming
myself, I think it provides a depth of material that you can’t find anywhere,
and I am really pleased to introduce it to you.
With the summer weather being so un-summery, Martha and I have barely had a chance
to do any serious biking. We did get out to Montauk for a few days, and I thought
I would share a picture of me all suited up for riding. I hope there will be
some early fall rides – we promised ourselves we would ride underneath the Verranzano
Bridge before it gets too cold!
Stay healthy this fall, and keep your immune systems strong!
Happy September,
Peter

Your Immune System...In Training |
Ann Quasarano
|
|
Since over 40% of our immune system is located in our
digestive tract, our diet can be the number one defense against a poorly
functioning immune system. Following the diet that is right for your
type acts to improve immunity and protect you from disease. |
|
With cold and flu season just a few months away, the late summer and early fall is the ideal time to get your immune system into tip-top shape. You can think of your immune system as an athlete getting ready to compete in the Olympics. You want to be in prime condition when it’s game time!
The first step is getting back to eating Right for Your Type. If you’ve fallen
off the wagon during the summer, now is the time to review your beneficial and
super beneficial lists and make special note of your avoids. Remember: when you
take a bite of food, you are impacting your immune system and its capacity to
function. As Dr. D’Adamo writes in Eat Right 4 Your Type, “The immune system
works to define ‘self’ and destroy ‘non-self.’ This is a critical function, for
without it your immune system could attack your own tissues by mistake or allow
a dangerous organism access to vital areas of your body. In spite of all it’s
complexity, the immune system boils down to two basic functions: recognizing ‘US’ and
killing ‘THEM.’ ” Since over 40% of our immune system is located in our
digestive tract, our diet can be the number one defense against a poorly functioning
immune system. Following the diet that is right for your type acts to improve
immunity and protect you from disease.
By now, we all know that proper exercise plays a critical role in health and well-being. But a study reported in the journal, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that regular work-outs can influence your immune function. According to the study, people who exercise regularly appear to be less likely than couch potatoes to catch colds. Researchers found that in survey results from 547 healthy adults, people who reported being the most active had 25% fewer colds over the course of a year than those on the less active end of the spectrum. So Type A’s get out those yoga mats and Type O’s get your running shoes ready!
Another interesting factoid comes from a study done by the University of Cardiff in the UK. They found that people who regularly eat breakfast may be less likely to get colds or the flu. In a 10 week study of 100 healthy students —nearly half of the participants developed an upper respiratory infection during the study period, those with multiple illnesses, reported that they did not eat breakfast. Those prone to anxiety and stress were even more likely to experience cold and flu symptoms. Bottom line, starting the day with food is crucial to health—and starting the day with a blood type friendly breakfast is an even better way to start the day!
It goes without saying, to take some common sense approaches to staying well.
Frequent hand washing, using “cough and sneeze etiquette,” and avoiding people
who are already sick, are all good preventative measures. Getting adequate rest
and exercise will also help support your immune system. Dr. D’Adamo also suggests
that you include some immunogenic polysaccharide containing foods, such as parsnips,
and immune boosting foods such as garlic and onions into your diet. Larch
arabinogalactan, derived from the Western Larch tree, is another polysaccharide
that has been widely acclaimed by the scientific community as an immune enhancing
supplement. Green tea appears to interfere with attachment in many strains of
influenza.
Studies also show that elderberry extract (like NAP’s Proberry)
is beneficial in preventing the spread of viral influenza, as it blocks neuraminidase,
the enzyme made by the flu virus which allows it to attach to the tissues of
the nose and throat. It’s likely that antioxidants called flavonoids—which are
contained in the extract—stimulate the immune system and other properties in
elderberry extract have an anti-inflammatory effect. As the chill sets in, it’s
a good time to get yourself back on track. Eating right, exercising, starting
a supplement regimen, and using common sense approaches to avoiding germs will
ensure a happier, healthier you this winter!

Dr. D’Adamo Begins Personalized Medicine Shift at Connecticut’s
University of Bridgeport’s School of Naturopathic Medicine
|
“I think that a Personalized Medicine Shift at UB serves two major purposes.
First, it will alert the students to the hidden potential
of the unique biochemistry that is locked inside each of
us...Second, as part of the UB Health Center, we are pledged
to provide affordable access to all services.
|

Dr. D’Adamo is leading a team of Naturopathic student interns on a journey into
individualized medicine in a new Personalized
Medicine Shift at the University’s Health Sciences Center in Bridgeport,
CT. The
program is designed to instruct students on Dr. D’Adamo’s protocols for determining
the best nutritional program for each person. They are taught how to gather information
about the client, including: biometric measurements, family and personal history
and the collection and analysis of laboratory samples. The data is then entered
into Dr. D’Adamo’s SWAMI software and a detailed dietary program is created based
on the individual’s nutritional needs.
“I think that a Personalized Medicine Shift at UB serves two major purposes,” says
Dr. D’Adamo. “First, it will alert the students to the hidden potential of the
unique biochemistry that is locked inside each of us; a scientific fact at the
cutting edge of nutrition research, although not extensively explored in medical
education. Second, as part of the UB Health Center, we are pledged to provide
affordable access to all services. Hopefully Bridgeport residents and members
of the greater Fairfield County community will take advantage of this rare opportunity
to receive completely a personalized diet plan, meal plan and recipe guide, all
for a fraction of its actual cost.”
A full workup by the Personalized Medicine Shift extends over two separate one-hour visits and costs $125.00. It includes all necessary blood grouping and other genetic testing, all biometric measurements and fingerprinting, urine testing, breath hydrogen testing and body composition analysis. During their second visit clients will consult with a member of the team and receive two-volume print out of their diet report and cook book.
