Who are the mentors? – Practitioners
Who are we mentoring? – Patients and
GAP
What’s the purpose? – Optimized life
How does it work? – Whatever you learn
you teach someone else (anyone else)
Who’s is included? – Self selection, you
pick yourself

Each participant attends monthly teleconferences (1
hour in duration, 4th Thursday of month) creating a
round table discussion/exploration of the dynamics
and details of a nutrition-based wholistic practice
Each participant chooses a colleague in his/her
world to convey the notes and information – no
information squandering
Issues/problems/questions are considered a learning
process for everyone, although individual’s remain
anonymous
All questions, comments, case studies to be directed
through email to SP rep who will compile and include
in next teleconference ( must be submitted 10 days
prior)

can befall any man is for him to
embrace a theory mistaking it for
fact.

Surgical Modification of Physiology
A Rational Intervention
&
Discussion of Method
Cornerstone issue of Functional Practice
Stomach Cancer Survivor
 Complex issues face people with modified physiology due to
surgery and the functional practitioner shines in the approach of
optimizing the modified system
 Practitioner must be prepared to experiment and discover
outcome effectiveness while systematically indentifying the
limitations and therefore the goals of therapy
 Most of these patients are abandoned to very general
uncustomized approaches that shorten the lifespan and reduce
the vitality
Stomach Cancer Survivor
 Male, mid 50’s, 75% of stomach removed
 What are the issues/ what are the goals
 How far can we go?
Sequenced Decline
 Digestive and gut loss of ecology – most effects protein &
minerals
 Immune compromised system – infection – autoimmunity – chaos
– failure from overburdening
 Organ vulnerability and infection
 Endocrine dysruption and infection/autoimmunity
 Spiralling bombardment of core systems
 B12 dysfunction and resultant events – neuro, hemo, emotional
Hypothesis We are cognizant of the inevitable danger of
errors of interpretation that must, by the nature
of our method, be inherent in this exposition.
We realize that there is scarcely a paragraph in
this volume that cannot ne interpreted in many
different ways other than that in which we have.
Royal Lee, Preface to Protomorphology
7 Pillars of Healing
Endocrine/Hormonal – Disruption & Depression
Glycemic Management – Insulin/Cortisol Dysregulation
pH Bioterrain – Net Acid Excess
Inflammatory Status – Cumulative Repair Deficit
Immune Burden - Toxicity, Infection & Infestation
Circulatory Status – Arterial, Venous & Lymphatic Competence
Digestive Potency – Fuel absorption, waste removal, Immune

Glandular fatigue & imbalance
Depletion of organ reserve and nutrient/mineral substrates
Reduced homeostatic mechanisms

Brain chemistry – Neurotransmitters (Neurohormonal)
Serotonin – Tryptophan dependent feeds Melatonin formation
Well-stocked: Positive, confident, flexible, easy-going
Poorly stocked: Negative, obsessive, irritable, low confidence, sleepless
Catecholamines – Tyrosine dependent forms Dopamine, Norepinephrine, Adrenaline
Well stocked: Energized, upbeat, alert, focused
Poorly stocked: Lethargic, flat, ‘blahs’
GABA – GABA dependent
Well stocked: Relaxed, Stress-free
Poorly stocked: Uptight, overwhelmed, stressed
Endorphins – Phenylalanine dependent
Well stocked: Comfort, pleasure, euphoria
Poorly stocked: Overly sensitive, crying easily
General protein increase will downstream more amino acid fuel for neurotransmitter
formation and greater reserve stores for supply through stressful demands (Minchex 2-6,

Number One Stress in the world
 The primary way to increase cortisol (stress hormone) is:
Blood Sugar Variations
inducing hypoglycemia and
activating cortisol up-regulation
22
The Stress Model
 The HPTA is at the heart of the body’s ability to respond to
the environment
 Cortisol elevation is the result of Corticotrophin Releasing
Hormone (CRH) arising from the parvocellular neurons of the
paraventricular nucleus (PVN) - this is the ‘master’ stress
hormone released in response to the perception of stress
 Stressful stimuli are generalized as:
 Physical – pain, trauma, infection, hypotension, exercise, hypoglycemia
 Psychological – bereavement, fear, personal loss, anger (the perception that God is not
in control – something is wrong)
 CRH is released into the portal circulation of the Median
Eminence and is carried by venous blood to the corticotroph
cells of the anterior pituitary where it binds to the cell surface
receptors stimulating the release of Adrenocorticotropic
Hormone (ACTH)
 ACTH reaches the adrenal cortex stimulating the synthesis of
Cortisol (glucocorticoid) and also androgenic hormones like
androstenidione and DHEA (both may convert to testosterone
23
and DHT in peripheral tissues
The Stress Model
 Cortisol maintains blood glucose during stressful ‘fight or flight’
challenges so that as more metabolic fuel is consumed a critical
amount is maintained for brain function and to support the
activated survival organs such as the heart, lungs, and skeletal
muscle with renewable supply of fuel
 Cortisol also participates with Aldosterone (mineralocorticoid) in
driving sodium reabsorption from the renal tubules conserving
electrolytes and water within the vasculature to provide blood and
perfusion pressures to vital organs
 Cortisol concentrations rise until it effects negative feedback on
the CRH neurons and the pituitary corticotrophs to return blood
levels to normal preventing prolonged elevations of CRH,
ACTH and cortisol
 Chronic stress and maladapted responses to stress alters this
mechanism and causes longterm cortisol dysregulation and even
‘cortisol resistance’
24
Revisiting protomorphology
Royal Lee postulates that the growth factors (PMG are
part of the mechanism that determines the aging process
 The factors can be locked in the tissues and he
considers that there are ‘elutagens’ which have the effect
of releasing these pmg’s into tissue action
 Progesterone can be considered a elutagen as well as
other nutritional elements that reduce the radical oxygen
species
 This begins to suggest why certain people do not
respond as keenly to pmg therapy as others
 Perhaps there is an emerging understanding of the stage
that must be set for tropho-restorative activation
25

 Symplex, Hypothalmex/us – HPA general support
 Androgen up-regulation
 Adrenal Complex – 2-4/day licorice & rehmannia
 Allergen removal
 Drenamin – 6/day
 Eleuthero – 2-4/day
 Vitanox 2-4/day
 Detoxification
 Change of thinking
 Neuro-emotional release

Revisiting the physiologic possibility
7 pillars of foundation strength and physiological
potency (unified mechanisms of disease)
Physiologic possibilities have not been explored or
metered so we remain dependant on external intervention
as the primary modulator of disease process
The practice of rational intervention will deliver the
practitioner and therefore the patient to profound
process that can be measured and will create a new
culture for healing in our nation – it is time for change and
real survival
Essential to the rational is the understanding of the
unified mechanisms of disease that will cause the same
results every time they are activated or burdened – laws
are so much better than opinions
