Our bodies are not made imperfectly.
Environmental toxins exposed to us in
utero and throughout our lives can alter our genes, leading to
physical disorders.
Sugar, refined carbs and foodlike
products, pesticides, heavy metals, parasites, viruses,
bacteria, stress, spiritual shallowness, hormone disrupters, and
masking your own personal truth,
...all lead to genetic derangements.
Mind, body and spirit are one.
True medicine addresses all three areas.
Our immune systems are tricky.
They are brilliantly made to expel
toxins with fevers, diarrhea and vomiting, but
what happens if a rather silent toxin is continually exposed to the
system? This often manifests as an autoimmune condition.
What are autoimmune conditions?
They are disorders in which immunity has gone awry, causing the body
to turn on itself.
Whatever "toxin" remains in the body
continues to alert the immune system. It's as if it's stuck in the
"on" position. Diet causes many autoimmune conditions.
...causes distention and eventual pH
changes.
When the pH is higher than 3 (caused by long term acid blockers like
Pepcid, Nexium, Prilosec or diet), pepsin is not released. Pepsin is
REQUIRED for protein breakdown.
These excess proteins leak through the
permeable gut wall where it alerts the immune system and are
detected as a foreign intruder. The body than revs up immunity and
inflammation ensues.
Inflammation is the body's natural
defense when it's short lived, but leads to chronic life long
disease once chronic.
Here are some examples of autoimmune
conditions:
-
Brain-MS, autism, Guillain-Barré
syndrome (caused by flu shot or a virus)
-
Bones-rheumatoid arthritis,
ankylosing spondylitis, polymyalgia rheumatica
-
Muscles-fibromyalgia, muscular
dystrophy
-
Skin-eczema, psoriasis,
scleroderma, vitiligo
-
Lungs-Wegener's granulomatosis,
asthma
-
Nerves-diabetic & peripheral
neuropathy
-
GI tract/pancreas-Celiacs, IBS,
Crohns, ulcerative colitis, diabetes
-
Blood-leukemia, lupus, hemolytic
conditions
-
Thyroid-Hashimoto's thyroiditis,
Graves' disease
Allopathic medicine tells us the answer
to these disorders is immunosuppression, or depressing our natural
immunity rather than finding the cause.
One example of this is
Humira or
Prednisone.
-
Doesn't this sound
counter-intuitive?
-
Why would we hinder our body's
natural response to a foreign intruder, rather than trying
to pinpoint that said intruder?
-
Why put a band-aid that causes
other side effects on the issue rather than remove the
issue?

Diet
Eliminate
all wheat, gluten, soy,
dairy, processed & fried foods.
No GMO and all organic.
Keep a food elimination journal.
Notice nausea, fatigue, bloating or itching after ingesting
each food. Many of these foods are not inflammatory in their
unprocessed, natural states but thanks to refining,
pasteurizing and genetic modification, they are now disease
causing.
Avoid aspartame, SUGAR,
MSG, trans fats, hydrogenated oils like canola or vegetable
oil. Do not indulge in excessive caffeine and alcohol.
Incorporate healthy fats like coconut, avocado, omega-3's,
olive oil or nuts and seeds. Buy a Berkey filter or reverse
osmosis filter to remove birth control, toxins, metals and
fluoride from your tap water. Alkaline diet w/ low sodium
and high potassium foods.
Add
a probiotic. I've cured so
many with Prescript Assist probiotic.
-
Colon cleanse
You should be having 2-3
BMs/day. Constipation is disease.
Drink plenty of distilled or
fluoride free water, plant
based organic diet, aloe Vera water, coconut kefir, ginger,
garlic, fennel, bentonite clay or activated charcoal to bind
& remove toxins, magnesium and vitamin C. Indian gooseberry
or triphala is a great colon cleanse.
Coffee enemas are irreplaceable
and double as a colon and liver cleanse.
-
Parasites
Check out
www.organicolivia.com.
Important ingredients include
wormwood, black walnut hull, cloves. Cinnamon,
garlic, coconut oil,
psyllium husks, bentonite clay and coffee enemas are
invaluable. Check out Gerson.org for the coffee enema kit
and instructions.
Be sure to get organic coffee,
distilled water, complete sterility, and lie on your right
side, holding for 10-20 minutes.
-
Kidney cleanse
Organic cranberry juice, apple
cider vinegar, lukewarm lemon water, magnesium and Epsom
salt baths.
Helpful herbs include horsetail,
Flor essence tea along with Uva Ursi capsules, Ginger,
Goldenrod tincture, Vitamin B-6, Black Cherry Concentrate,
and Vegetable Glycerin all help flush the kidneys.
Stay away from pesticides - they
have been proven to cause kidney failure.
-
Heavy Metals
Excellent natural chelators
include chlorella, cilantro, high sulfur foods like cabbage,
onions, garlic and brussels sprouts.
You can also get professional IV
chelation. Avoid unnecessary
vaccines which contain
heavy metals. Zeolite clay and activated charcoal are great
chelators.
Be sure to see a biologic dentist who specializes in
removing Mercury amalgams safely. Mercury is not safe, is a
neurotoxin and can lead to autoimmune conditions, mood
disorders and mental degradation.
Why do you think the mad hatter
was mad? He cured felt hats with mercury!
-
Liver cleanse
Milk thistle, burdock root,
dandelion root, beets, Jerusalem artichokes, garlic,
turmeric or curcumin, fermented foods, and castor oil packs
on abdomen to pull out toxins.
Teas like tulsi and dandelion
also support a healthy liver. Be sure you're taking
ornithine with your liver cleanse. Lugol's iodine is also
supportive of metabolism and liver detox.
Olive oil cleanse for liver: For a week drink carrot juice
and eat tart green apples to your soften gallstones so that
they don't become dislodged during the detox process. Then
take a shot of olive oil with lemon juice and do a castor
oil pack at night.
I have SAVED patients from
having their gallbladder removed this way!

Skin
The skin is your biggest organ!
Slathering lotions, makeup, deodorants or fragrances on that
contain parabens, BHT or other endocrine disrupters can lead
to hormone dysregulation, PCOS, endometriosis, and fibroids.
Infrared saunas, sweating, hot
yoga, Epsom salt baths, and dry brush to get your lymph
system to remove chemicals.
Exercise and good sweat is
needed daily. Avoid any mainstream or synthetic toiletries
and go organic. The cosmetic field is NOT regulated and
everything is absorbed.
Vitamin D prevents breast
and prostate cancer!!
-
Lymphatic system
This is the sewer system of the
body but does not have a pump like the heart.
Therefore movement, deep
breathing, walking, rebounding, yoga and dry brushing are
excellent for lymph movement. Lymph massages can remove
toxins from the body through soft massage.
Remember to take care of yourself. Eat
and live like you love yourself.
Detox, unplug and unwind...
