Live long and prosper.

 

   Dr. Schultz's "Power Shake"

Many of my patients have asked me for directions for my "Power Shake".  So, here it is!  The basic ingredients.  You have to change the ingredients to fit your individual needs.   Everyone is special and so too your supplemental needs.  Many times I use the shake during the week and forgo it on the weekends, allowing my system a rest.  Do this especially at first, allowing your body to adjust.  After a time, you will not "feel" right forgoing the shake.  Your system will have adapted to the OptimalNutrition! 

Introduction     |    The Power Shake

Introduction

    I don't remember how I first started doing this.   I think it was just a memory from med school.  One of my class mates use to get up every morning and start her day with some yogurt-vitamin drink.
    When I got really exhausted these past few years and began "cleaning up" my internal environment...this "power shake" popped into my head.....probably spurred on by something I read...days long gone!

    Just remember this is MY power shake....what I mean by that is, you will have to play around with products until you find the right combination for yourself.
    I am allergic to soy!!  So all soy products are out for ME.   They may be ok for YOU.  It would be better if soy is ok for you, because it is one of those phytoestrogens and is good for women peri and postmenopausal.  I wish I could use them.
    I passed my allergy on to daughter #2.   She wound up in a peds ER with 4+ blood in her stools when I had to stop breast feeding her and put her on a formula that I later found out was soy-based!  The peds resident ask me what to do because he didn't know what was causing the blood.  My baby was grey, pooing blood and the doctor didn't know "nothing."  I took her home and while I was feeding her clear liquids, began thinking about what she was eating!   Logical....what goes in, comes out...so I put her on the formula my daughter #1 had no problem with...and behold her problems resolved.  Later comparing the formulas, I realized the "soy" problem!
    Daughter #2 continued for about 3 to 5 years to break out in hives for no apparent reason what-so-ever.  Now looking back on all of this "goings-on," and realizing she has type A blood,  she had probably destroyed her "brush boarder" (the gut-projections that absorb the nutrients from the gut) and her gut was allowing "allergens" to cross into her blood, showing up as hives on her skin.
    Well, this was not a double blinded, crossed over study proving or disproving my thoughts as a mother, but it was good enough for me.  Today, she's ok.   The power of the body to heal.

The Power Shake - If you have a medical problem, be sure to check with your physician before making this shake part of your daily nutritional intake.
