Case History
JW of Vernon, Tx, was
diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue,
Immune Dysfunction Syndrome
and Fibromyalgia in 1994 at age
60. He was disabled and
almost bedfast. He was in a
wheel chair when I met him at a
FMS Seminar sponsored by
Breland-Henslee Physical
Therapy Clinics in 1998 where I
was invited to speak on the
Clinical Nutrition Link in FMS.
JW – Case
History (cont.)
His wife reported, “Within a few
months of clinical nutrition
therapy, Joe could shop, work in
the yard, play golf using a cart
and was enjoying a life he
thought was gone forever.”
JW’s FMS clinical nutrition
therapy was successfully
concluded in eleven months..
Let’s look at JW’s numbers

*you can see why a medical interpretation of your blood test does not
generally give you the answers you need in relationship to FMS. As in JW’s case, his medical interpretation revealed only 5 abnormal chemistries; whereas, our nutritional analysis of the same blood tests revealed 17 abnormal nutritional chemistries. Most routine medical tests are normal for FMS; a nutritional analysis is required for insight into those factors affecting FMS.
** As the body heals, some test results and symptoms appear to get worse before they get better – this is all part of the process of the body returning to homeostasis, perfect health. Much like when you have a room that needs cleaning in your home, an hour after you begin cleaning, the room looks worse than it did before you started. To get all things in order, you must first pull things out of places they do not belong and stack them around the room till you can put them where they do belong. Same thing applies to the healing process.
FMS Clinical
Study
This clinical nutrition study
was presented at the
American Association for
the Advancement of
Science 9/96 and the
International and American
Associations of Clinical
Nutritionists (IAACN) 9/97
by Russell M. Jaffe, M.D.,
Ph.D., C.C.N.
FMS Clinical
Study (cont.)
Control Subjects maintained usual lifestyle of diet and
medications, whereas the subjects in the treatment
group underwent a program of avoiding reactive
substances and took specific vitamin/mineral
supplements for nutritional repletion.
Reactive substances were found using Elisa/Act to test
340 items to determine sensitivities to common
medications, foods, preservatives, etc.
Modest improvement in first 3 months; and reported
feeling markedly better than they had in years at the 4th
month.
6th month – subjects reported 50% less pain, 40% less
depression, 50% more energy and 30% less stiffness
than at start of program
6th month – control group reported no improvement.
Study Outcome: Clinical Nutrition is a key to improvement fo
FMS by reducing the load of immuno-reactants and
restoring vitamin/mineral reserves in the neuro-immune
control systems.
All Truth Passes
through 3 Stages
FIRST – It is ridiculed (You were told it was all in your head, I.e. psychological or hypochondriac)
SECOND – It is violently opposed. (Medical field rejects idea that FMS exists because drugs and surgery does not cure it; and standard medical testing shows normal)
THIRD – It is accepted as being self-evident. (Medical field is slowly accepting the fact that FMS does exist.)
NOTE: This is what you, as sufferers of FMS, have been going through as the medical community catches up to the fact that FMS is a nutrition-related syndrome, not a medical disease.
Diet & Nutrition
These two terms are often used interchangeably; however, they are not the same.
Diet is what you eat and drink, i.e. ingested.
Your Diet
Consists of
Macro-nutrients and Micro-nutrients
–Macro-nutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats/oils
–Micro-nutrients are vitamins, minerals and water
Nutrition is….
Nutrition is what happens inside the body as a result of what you have ingested, in other words, it is the metabolism of ingested substances.
Metabolism is the digestion, absorption, assimilation, distribution of nutrients and the elimination of its waste, in other words, the transport of nutrients to and waste from the cells and tissue.
Clinical Nutrition is nutritional science that provides clinical tests to identify and correct the adverse internal affects of dietary and nutritional factors on health, I.e., its impact on all biochemical processes and organ/gland functions which precede all diseases.
No Medical
Cures?
When physicians tells you there is no cure for this disease or that disease, including Syndromes, like Fibromyalgia and any other Immune Dysfunction or Degenerative Diseases, what they mean is that “drugs or surgery” will not cure it.
And so if drugs and surgery will not cure it, what else is left? It is a logical next step that when you have ruled out all possible medical causes, and found none, that you would then seek testing from a Clinical Nutritionists to identify nutritional factors, since you now know there are no medical factors affecting your health.
Must Everything In
HealthCare Be
Validated Through
Research?
“If ‘experimentally proven’ is the single criterion for a ‘non-quack’ medical practice, then almost all modern medicine is pure quackery.
Less than one in five of all currently accepted medical practices have been proven effective in well-controlled, replicated studies over time.
The remaining 80% of everything that is commonly done to us by doctors and hospitals has never been thoroughly and conclusively researched.”*
*Pearsall, Ph.D., Paul, Miracle in Maui, Inner Ocean Publishing
(1991) p. 33
No Known Cause
Have you noticed how many
medical brochures – say No
Known Cause – No Cure.
If my plumber told me he
could fix my leak even if he
did not know what caused it
or where the water was
coming from, I would switch
plumbers.
Medicine is
Not An Exact
Science!
Yet American’s continue to see their
physicians to treat symptoms that even their
own literature tell you that medicine does not
know the cause of your symptoms and has
no cure for them.
Then before they treat you, they have you
sign a release that that lists multiple risk
factors and side effects from the treatment
they are about to give you.
And the release includes a note that says
‘medicine is not an exact science and there is
no guarantee regarding the treatment.’
What’s Wrong With This Picture?
Your Body Can
Heal Itself of
Any Disease
The human body is capable of healing itself of every disease known to man, when it is given the substances it requires for healing and when you learn how to stop interfering with its healing process.

Liver Symptoms
& You
When on long-term drug therapy,
have you noticed that you or a loved
one eventually have many of the
symptoms of liver dysfunction?
Also, when you look at this long list of
liver-related symptoms, how many of
them are also listed among those
symptoms associated to your
Diagnosed disease or syndrome?
Do think perhaps a dysfunctional liver
may be at the root of your health
challenges and all
diseases/syndromes?
Ever notice….
How many TV Drug Advertisements warn against using their drug if you have liver problems?
Have you ever been or know of someone who has to have regular blood testing for their liver because of their prescribed medication(s)?
How Are Prescription
Drugs Tested Safety?
The following information
and statistics are derived
from numerous medical
journals, including the
Journal of American Medical
Association (JAMA), The
New England Journal of
Medicine and Lancet.
Drugs tests
Safety ctd.
– “Drug companies can conduct multiple studies
on new drugs, and then select and publish the
most favorable ones while suppressing the
rest.”
– “Drug companies can choose research study
designs that are more likely to reproduce
favorable results rather than designs that
might provide more accurate results.”
– “Drug studies can measure a drug’s
effectiveness in multiple ways, then select and
publish only the best results. Sometimes
these favorable results have little to do with
whether drugs will help patients.”
– “Drug companies hire high-profile experts to
place their names on drug company-
generated articles, although the experts have
not participated in the studies and their
financial connections with the drug companies
are not disclosed. “1
Drugs tests
Safety ctd.
The FDA relies on the drug manufacturer’s research reports to approve a drug; no independent testing is done or required.
USA Today found that 54% of the time, experts hired to advise the FDA on which medicine should be approved for sale have a direct financial interest in the drug or topic they’re asked to evaluate.2
“It is simply not possible to identify all the adverse effects of drugs before they are marketed,” say three medical doctors writing in the New England Journal of Medicine.3
Drugs tests
Safety ctd.
In fact, “Overall, 51% of
approved drugs have
serious side effects not
detected prior to approval.”

How Are Side Effects
of Prescription
Drugs Monitored?
There are no mandatory reporting of drug side
effects for physicians or hospitals.
Drug Companies and medical institutions have
their own reasons for under-estimating the full
scope of the side-effect epidemic. Dr. David
Bates, an associate professor of medicine at the
Harvard Medical School, wrote in JAMA:
– ‘Hospitals have had strong incentives not to identify
too many of these adverse drug events. Reporting
large numbers of adverse events and any serious
preventable event brings intense scrutiny from
regulators and the public. Thus most hospitals have
relied on spontaneous reporting, which only
identifies about 1 in 20 adverse reactions and
leads to the perception that injuries from ADR’s are
less common than they really are.’” 5
5 Cohen, MD, Jay, Overdose: The Case Against the Drug Companies.
How the FDA
Monitors Drugs…
The FDA monitors drug approval and safety, and
here is how:
– The FDA has about 1300 employees
processing new drug applications and working
toward drug approval:
The Review Team
– The FDA has 72 employees tracking drug
safety:
The Safety Team
– The FDA has a total budget of between $10
and $15 million per year. That is less than Eli
Lilly spent on its promotion of Prozac in 1997,
according to The New York Times as
reported in the Washington Monthly. 6

Injuries & Deaths
from Drugs
Prescription Drugs
– “Side effects from properly prescribed
drugs are the 4th and 5th leading cause of
death in the U.S.” (JAMA/NEJM)
This does not even include deaths
from improperly prescribed drugs,
deaths from in-hospital errors, and
unreported drug deaths.
If these were thrown into the
statistics, drug treatment in general
would easily be in the top three
causes of death in the nation. 8
8 Lee, MD, John, Sava, PHD, David & Hopkins, Virginia,
What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast
Cancer: How Hormone Balance Can Help Save Your
Life, Warner Books (2002) p20.
Injuries & Deaths
from Drugs, continued
In 1998, JAMA reported that more than 100,
000 people die each year from properly
prescribed prescription drugs, and each
year 2,216,000 people require hospitalization
for life-threatening or permanently disabling
side effects of properly prescribed drugs.
These stats are for hospitalized patients. No
numbers exist for the larger group of non-
hospitalized patients.
This amounts to over 300 deaths per day and
6,000 hospitalizations (only the most serious
side effects were tabulated in this study) from
properly prescribed drugs.
Injuries & Deaths
from Drugs, continued
Add to this another 100,000 people who die annually from hospital-generated infections. That is, infections contracted during a stay in a hospital, unrelated to the original reason for being hospitalized.9
No other industry in this country would be allowed to continue doing business with even a fraction of these mortality and morbidity statistics.

Injuries & Deaths
from Herbs
“According to the FDA, between
1993 and 1998 federal, state
and local agencies reported a
total of 184 deaths, most of
which were associated with
weight loss formulas.”10

Whole foods and supplements
are whole plants/herbs, not
altered or chemically derived.
Non-toxic
Over 2000 years of historical use
plus current clinical studies
Injury or death has been due to
any contamination or misuse –
not from actual food or herb.
Both Medicine and
Whole Food Nutrients
(Vitamins/Minerals/Herbs)
Work When Used Appropriately!
Few people are aware of these statistics regarding drugs and medical research.
My purpose for sharing this with you is to bring to focus a more realistic view of medicine and to appeal to you to –
– First, use clinical nutrition (whole foods, whole food vitamins/minerals, and pure herbs) on a daily or regular basis to assist the body in healing and maintaining health
– Second, use medicine appropriately – for emergencies only, such as short-term use in the case of a broken bone or uncontrollable bleeding,
Instead of its present overuse due to either ignorance of the facts or neglect in the nutritional care of the human body.

What Causes
Fibromyalgia?
Are the light bulbs starting to come on that the Cause of your Fibromyalgia or other immune and degenerative diseases is not just one thing – it is the end result of multiple factors in your lifestyle and toxic exposures?
Factors which have been occurring internally for years, that may be accelerated by a trauma (emotional or physical injury), however, at some point when the body can’t manage these factors any more, it breaks down. You can’t get out of bed, everything is an effort, a good day is one minute of being pain free.
– Some “experts” think that the trauma or injury is the total cause. However, more often it is just the straw that broke the camel’s back or rather it was a Big Added Burden on an already weakened body system!
Nutrient
Insufficiency
Of the three factors Dr. Percival identified that cause distress, inflammation, dysfunction, and disease,
– trauma,
– toxicity and
– insufficiency, today we are going to focus on the last factor –
Nutrient Insufficiency.
Trauma =
Insufficiency
Trauma or Stress (whether mental, emotional, physical or electro-magnetic) depletes the body of vitamins and minerals. It takes a lot of nutrients to meet the demands of trauma and stress.
– Ex: deficiencies of B Complex Vitamins and minerals, which are required for the Energy Pathway to function properly, leads to the body’s inability to produce sufficient energy to meet your stress which then causes chronic fatigue.
– Day in/Day Out pushing yourself (beyond your limits) just to get through the day overworks the adrenal glands and leads to chronic fatigue and depletion of nutrient/energy reserves.
– Electro-magnetic stress short-circuits the body’s electrical system and communication system preventing or delaying transport or exchange of nutrients to/from cells and tissue. Ex. Hair analysis reveals people with calcium leaving the body instead of going to the bones.
Toxicity =
Insufficiency
We live in a Toxic World – we have
chemical additives in our foods, air
pollution and chemicals in our water.
Toxins deplete the body of vitamins
and minerals, thus
– Interfering with the body’s ability to
heal, adapt and meet the stress of
its environment.
– And lead to injury, decay or death
of healthy cells and tissue.
Have you ever tested your tap
water at home or work?
Toxicity Leads to
Liver Problems

Medford. This book is so important that it
is required reading for all my clients and I

seminar.
– When you read in this book the list of
symptoms due to liver dysfunction, you
will think you are reading a list of your
symptoms for Fibromyalgia.
– I have also provided a Detoxification
Educational Slick that shows what
happens in a healthy and unhealthy liver.
TOXICITY
The Greatest
Challenge Our
Body Faces Today is the effective
management of
Toxins
Toxicity is…
Remember from Dr. Percival’s video, he
stated that Toxicity is..
1) Quality of being poisonous
– Accidental poisoning
– Food Poisoning (spoiled food)
– Overuse of stimulants like refined sugar,
chocolate, colas and coffee
(consumptions should be none or special
occasions only)
2) The degree of severity of toxic microbe or
chemical substance
– Microbes – germs and worms
– Chemical substances in food, water and
air. For example, (in food as
preservatives to make food last longer on
the shelf; in water, such as to kill bacteria)
Looks to Die For
Insert
Insufficiency Leads
to Malnutrition
– Malnutrition is Long-Term
macro-or micro-nutrient
insufficiencies or deficiencies
that cause biochemical
imbalances, then
organ/gland dysfunction, and
eventually lead to all
diseases
– 95% all diseases are
nutrition-related; 5% are due
to accidental injury or
hereditary.
Nutritional
Statistics
98.5% of the U.S. Population is
unhealthy - U.S. Statistical Abstract
of 1992.
68% of all deaths are nutrition-related
- Surgeon General’s Nutrition and
Health Report, 1988.
50% of Americans are nutritionally
deficient - HANES II 1974-1975, US
Dept. HEW.
50% of Americans now use
complementary or alternative
healthcare (JAMA/Journal of
American Medical Association, July
1997)
Updated
Statistics
If the Surgeon General’s and HANES II reports were updated today, it is estimated that these percentages would be considerably higher, even as much as 20-45%, i.e., 80-100& of Americans are nutritionally deficient and dying pre-maturely of nutrition-related diseases.
Let’s look at the
Pathways of
Metabolism
inside a cell
Insert Diagram
Pathways of
Metabolism
The micro-nutrients (Vitamins and Minerals) are required to metabolize the macro-nutrients: Proteins, Carbohydrates and Fats/Oils
Vitamins and Minerals are required for all organ and gland functions of the body
Without sufficient vitamins and minerals organs/glands will not function.
The Key to Staying Healthy (and restoring ill health) is to obtain clinical nutrition testing of your vitamins/mineral deficiencies and correct all deficiencies by eating whole foods and taking whole food vitamins.
What Are Whole
Food Vitamins?
The body can only heal itself when it has a whole food diet and whole food supplements is right for your metabolism.
Vitamins and minerals sold over-the-counter or through direct mail are synthetic or crystalline extracts.
-- therapeutic whole food supplements available only through Clinical Nutritionist
The only supplements you should purchase over-the-counter are herbs – however, be sure to read labels as some have fillers and realize that their potency is 12-30% which is sufficient for health maintenance, but not for clinical use.
Refer to Author and Clinical Nutritionist Lorrie Medford book, “Why I Need Whole Food Supplements.” Copies of this book are available at a discount if purchased today.
What is
in an
Apple?
Whole Food
Vitamin C - Less is
More
A small apple contains only 5.1 mg of Vitamin C. But the same contains polyphenols and flavonoids-beneficial food compounds that equal the effect of 1,500 mg of vitamin C.
So each time you pick up a vitamin bottle that says 1,000 mg of Vitamin C, realize two things – 1) this is only Ascorbic Acid, not a
complete Vitamin C complex and
– 2) you know it is synthetic because if the ingredient was a whole food, like an apple, it would say 5.1 mg.
Nature, volume 405, page 903
C & E Complex
As you can see from the next two diagrams, – Ascorbic Acid is only one of six
nutrients in a complete Vitamin C Complex, and
– the four tocopherols are only four of 11 nutrients in a complete Vitamin E Complex.
Therefore, when you take in an incomplete vitamin or mineral, the body must pull from its cells and tissues the rest of the vitamin complex to complete the nutrient so it can be used, and this leads to a deficiency in the very vitamin you are thinking you are taking.
The Perfect
Dietary Lifestyle
Micro-nutrients - Mostly I have been talking about micro-nutrients today – I.e., vitamins, minerals and water -- because whole food supplements are the key to your health improvement.
Macro-nutrients – You are told to eat a balanced diet, but few professionals, much less the public, understand what that means. Today, I am going to show you how to calculate the exact amount of Proteins to Carbohydrates to Fats/Oils that you need to be healthy.
The Perfect Diet in the 21st Century consists of eating whole foods in the right ratio of Pro/Cho/Fats/Oils and supplementing your diet with whole food vitamins, and drinking RO purified water (1/2 body weight in oz. Daily.)
Before we go
there…
Before we calculate your individual balanced macro-nutrient diet, I want to share some information about Fats/Oils because they are highly misunderstood today.
And the misinformation out there about them is also contributing to FMS and all immune dysfunctions, and degenerative diseases.
Essential Fatty
Acids (EFAs)
These are the GOOD fats/oils that are
essential to the body (which means
your body can’t make them so you
must get them from your diet) and are
important for cell membrane function.
Yet they are being taken out of our
food and substituted by Trans-Fats.
Trans-fats make “stupid” cell
membranes that do not function
properly. Trans-fats are found in
butter substitutes, margarine, fried
foods, etc. (Hydrogenated oils are
trans-fats – avoid these.)
Let’s look at What Good
Fats/Oils (EFA)
Do For You
Maintain cell membrane fluidity and stability
Important for proper cell division and genetic expression
Oxygen transfer
Energy Production
Immune functions
Conversion into compounds involved in all body functions including local hormones governing inflammatory responses
EFAs = Your Body’s
Anti-Inflammatory
Nutrient
Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids are required to make the anti-inflammatory hormones – Eicosanoids, prostaglandins and
leukotrienes
Without EFA’s you will always be in BIG PAIN! – Note: Steroids/Cortisone may kill
pain, but they also kill the body’s ability to heal where its injected.
– The late Dr. Templeton of Vernon, Tx, stated that steriods turn bone to powder. Given to a person with a fracture can cause a coma.

– As you can see Canola oil is the healthiest.
– When using oil for stir-fries, use Sesame Oil.
How to Purchase Healthy Oils
– Must be refrigerated
– Must be in Dark Bottles
– Must be cold-pressed
Right now in Wichita Falls, the only place where you can
get all the healthy oils is Dr. Smith’s office as
– The only oil that meets these standards that can be
purchased in grocery and health food stores is flax
seed.
– Dr. Smith has canola, sesame, safflower, olive, flax,
almond, etc. and will continue to have these
available for her clients and the public until the
stores in this area become educated and thus carry
healthier oils.

acids your carbohydrates

earth.
Food Pyramid
Revised
When the U.S.D.A. designed the Food Pyramid, Clinical Nutritionists were originally delighted at the idea since the four food groups had been misguiding people for years; however, the U.S.D.A. still missed the mark, and in fact, if you follow it, it will lead you to diabetes and many other high carbohydrate-related diseases.
The next slide will show my revised Food Pyramid.

Testing
Now we will review some of the clinical nutrition tests used to identifies the nutritional deficiencies causing biochemical imbalances and organ/gland dysfunction as it relates to FMS
TISSUE MINERAL HAIR ANALYSIS – identifies minerals, both individual and ratios required for proper metabolic function, and interferences with toxic, heavy metals. This also provides information on the minerals affect on thyroid, blood sugar, adrenal and hormone function.

Your Body Can Heal Itself
When Given the Tools To Do So
STEP 1 – TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
– First, make an appointment with a Clinical
Nutritionist to obtain Clinical Nutrition Testing
(blood, urine, saliva or hair) to determine your
specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Now if Dr. Smith was not here in Wichita Falls,
you would have to go to Dallas, Austin, Amarillo
or Tulsa, OK – as she is the only Clinical
Nutritionist in this area. Her clientele
encompass a 350-mile radius around WF.
Since 1981, by mail and the Internet, we have
had the privilege of assisting clients in 34
States/four International Countries. With a track
record of over 90% in assisting clients in
improving health, our outreach continues to
grow.
Step 2 – To Improve
Your Health
Second, based upon these
clinical tests, I will recommend
therapeutic whole food
supplements that will raise
these deficiencies and assist
your body in improving
biochemical balance and
organ/gland function.
(Caution-Nutrition Professionals
recommend synthetic /
crystalline their health, my
extracts.)
Steps 3-6 To Improve
Your Health…
Third, then I design a therapeutic food chemistry
dietary plan based upon your metabolism
(fast/slow oxidization) and the principles of food
chemistry (foods that work with your biochemistry)
Fourth, I will coach you on how to develop a
principle-centered healthy lifestyle to support your
improved nutritional biochemistry so you can
maintain optimal healing as you achieve it.
Five, I will also identify where you are interfering
with your body’s ability to heal itself and assist you
in working with, instead of against your body’s
innate healing process.
Six, I will evaluate other factors affecting your
health – electro-magnetic stress, environmental
toxicity, etc.
