INNER CIRCLE WEEK 2 WEBINAR

YOUR PRECONCEPTION GOALS

What is The Brighton Method?

• The Brighton Method is a comprehensive perinatal health method for having successful birth outcomes.

• The Brighton Method is a complete method for both fathers and mothers.

• The Brighton Method’s philosophy is that it is not wise to force conception when either the man or woman’s body is not ready.

• The Brighton Method is not a hormonal or medical fertility program.

• The Brighton Method is not focused on trying to “fix” or “track” FSH/Estrogen/Progesterone imbalances in women.

Your Birth Defect Risk

To Have an Extraordinary Child - You Want to Have “Optimal Results” - Not Results That Fall in the “Norm”Produce more milk and eggs

• Data Itself : Blood, Urine, Medical History, etc.

• Perception of Data: Norm vs. Optimal Maps

• Interpretation of the Data: Creation of Health Protocols

Depending on your budget and health history, there are 4 major tests that The Brighton Method recommends Gut inflammation

• Hair Analysis: before AND after your Brighton Plan

• Organix Urine Test: after elimination

• Mercury - Urine & Blood Test: after elimination

• Gene test: genetic weaknesses that need to be addressed

If you have a history of autism, Asperger's Syndrome, ADD, celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or a medical condition in your family, additional tests may be warranted.Gut-body barrier breech

Examples of Group Immunity

Page of 8 22 © 2016 The Brighton Institute

Main Perinatal Vaccine Concerns

• Often Contain Mercury, Aluminum, MSG, Antibiotics, Formaldehyde and Other Dangerous Additives

• Preliminary Data Suggest that Many Vaccines Lead to Mitochondrial Dysfunction

• Linked to Autism and Other Developmental Syndromes

• Favors Chronic Inflammation (TH2 Immunity)

• Triggers Immune Response That Has Been Correlated to Increased Autism and Schizophrenia Risk in Offspring

• Confuses Immune System

• Reduces Probiotic Species

• Not Weight Adjusted for Your Baby - Same Dose as an Adult

Page of 9 22 © 2016 The Brighton Institute

• Additional Note: Recently, researchers have raised concerns that many vaccines contain Polysorbate-80, Tween, sorbitol, and other ‘sugar alcohols’ that break down the blood-brain barrier, allowing attenuated live virus to infect the brain.

Tissue Mineral Analysis (“Hair Biopsy”) as a Preconception Tool

#1 - HIGH COPPER Copper is Estrogenic. It Drives Infection. It is the Most Compelling “Pre-Autism” Trend. In the 1960s, 5% of Women Had Excess Copper; By the 1980s, Laboratories Were Reporting an Average of 80%

• Correlates to reproductive health problems; chemical androgyny; candida; infection; inflammation

• Hidden copper • Slow metabolic rate

Page of 11 22 © 2016 The Brighton Institute

• Inability to eliminate hidden copper until metabolic rate is increased • Copper & mercury together - exponentially worse!

• e.g. mercury fillings are copper-mercury • Dietary trends: more carbs, less fat • Vegetarian diet drives copper up

• Plant cells have copper (not iron) • Soy and rice bind zinc • Phytoplankton, spirulina, algae, etc. all rich in copper (no zinc)

• Animal meat is abundant in copper and zinc (already balanced) • Birth control pills, copper IUDs, copper pipes • Adrenal exhaustion: experimental and prescription drug use; stress

High copper, copper-zinc imbalance; adrenal stress
