Gallbladder

I’m amazed at the number of people who write to me, saying that they have gallstones and are going to have their gallbladder removed.

Just like that.

The attitude about the gallbladder has historically been that it’s not that vital, so go ahead and take it out.

This is shocking…criminal, even.  It’s wrong. Completely wrong.

Contrary to what people have been hoodwinked into believing, the gallbladder is not an unimportant organ that causes digestive problems for no good reason.

The gallbladder is VERY important. EVERY organ is.

Here’s a brief overview of your gallbladder, why you want to do all you can to help keep yours, and how to keep it in shape:

Historically:

• The ancient healers believed the gallbladder was the “Opening to God”
• In the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1542) the doctors healed all illnesses by treating the gallbladder
• I always found it odd that if the above is true, one of the first things to “blow out” on people is their “Opening to God”

Bile storage:

• Bile is secreted by your liver and stored in the gallbladder until it’s needed for digestion of fats. When you eat fat, this signals the gallbladder to contract and release bile into your small intestine to break it down.
• In addition to being a storage area for bile, the gallbladder also makes the bile from the liver more concentrated by removing water through its wall like a sponge.
• So if your gallbladder is removed, although bile can be “rerouted” to flow into the intestine directly from the liver, fat digestion is less efficient because the bile isn’t as concentrated and powerful.
• Unimportant organ? I think not.

The Mystery of Gallstones Revealed:

• The most common reason for a cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) is gallstones.
• Gallstones are the result of cholesterol build up, which can be caused or worsened by eating too much animal protein and not getting enough alkaline foods.
• (This is yet another way our bodies warn us to eat differently. We need to listen closely and heed the warning, not cut out our vital organs.)
• So, removal of your gallbladder is just the beginning of serious digestive problems.
• Many people who complain their stomach hurts them are really suffering from gallbladder problems.  The diagram above shows the proximity of the gallbladder to other major organs such as the stomach

Life without a gallbladder:

Once your gallbladder is gone, it’s harder to digest fats. This means excessive burping and gas when fats are eaten.

And if your eating habits haven’t changed from what caused the gallstones to begin with, you’re opening yourself up for a wide variety of health challenges including:

1. High blood cholesterol
2. Arthritis
3. Osteoporosis
4. Heart disease
5. High blood pressure (hypertension)
6. Cancer
7. Diabetes
8. Diverticulitis
9. Colitis

…and many more.

Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Surgery)

• Unfortunately, gallbladder removal is seen as the “easy answer.”
• However, removal of any organ is not the answer even though at times organ removal is necessary due to poor health
• Furthermore, the “new” method of cholecystectomy (Gallbladder removal) is done laporoscopically which means ii is squeezed out through the naval. This is called Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
• As stated above, the gallbladder is sort of “sponge like”–so when it is squeezed out through the navel, many of the toxins it is holding are dumped into the intestine causing up to one year of dysentery for many patients who have had this type of surgery.
• The original method of gallbladder removal although considered major surgery was in a way much better because by opening you up, the surgeon was able to see the entire area with the naked eye and as such was able to thoroughly  ‘clean it up” so to speak

But NOT the only answer!!

Gallstone Flush Instructions

I along with thousands of other health care practitioners have been recommending a Gallbladder or Liver and Gallbladder Flush to many of their patients.  As a matter of fact, if healthy, a gallbladder flush should be considered once yearly particularly during the Spring.

These “flushes” should  be monitored by a health care provider and they do require due diligence on the part of the patient.

I have had patients bring in “baggies” of gallstones to show me the success of the flush

In my 35 years of recommending this flush to patients I have not encountered a single case where a problem occurred

Eat your way to a healthier gallbladder

• Once removed, the patient is put on a lifetime diet of restrictions especially of fats and oils.  Remember, healthy fats are absolutely necessary for a healthy body!  Since diet changes are required after removal, why not change your diet now to prevent gallbladder problems in the future?
• A more alkaline pH helps ALL your organs work better, including your gallbladder.
• Eating appropriate meal combinations and getting more alkaline foods into your diet will help keep your blood cholesterol lower, and that too will help make for a healthier gallbladder.
• Remember, there are no mistakes of nature. Our bodies were designed very carefully and no part of them is unimportant, including your gallbladder.
• Take care of your body by eating the right way, and you’ll be more likely to keep ALL of your precious organs.

Is Fasting One Day a Week Good for Your Health?

By Dr. Ben Kim on June 13, 2008

Is fasting one day a week good for your health? To answer this question, let’s take a look at what happens in your body when you begin to eat and drink nothing but water.

After your cells use up the sugar that is in your bloodstream from your last meal or beverage, your body has to find another source of energy for your cells. And the first places that it turns to are your liver and your muscles. Both your liver and your muscles store sugar in the form of glycogen, and when needed, glycogen can be broken down to glucose, which all of your cells can use to produce energy for their ongoing activities.

During a water-only fast, your glycogen stores are depleted within about 24 hours, give or take a few hours. After your glycogen stores are used up, most of your cells begin burning fatty acids for energy – these fatty acids come from your fat reserves, including fatty tissue that surrounds your organs.

Two groups of cells – your red blood cells and your brain cells – cannot use fatty acids to fuel their energy needs. Your red blood cells and brain require glucose, and once glycogen/glucose from your muscles and liver are used up, your brain and your red blood cells get their glucose from two sources:

1. From glycerol, which is a component of your fat tissues.
2. From your muscles – some of your muscle tissues get broken down, and the amino acids from your muscle tissues are used to produce glucose for your brain and red blood cells.

Clearly, it’s not in your best interest to rapidly eat up your muscles to meet the energy requirements of your brain and red blood cells during a water-only fast. Your body knows this, and somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd day of water-only fasting, your liver begins churning out ketones, which during a water-only fast, come primarily from the breakdown of fatty acids from your fat reserves.

Once your liver generates large numbers of ketones, your brain is able to use ketones as fuel for itself.  At this point, only your red blood cells require glucose that must still be derived from breakdown of your muscles, but with your brain no longer dependent on breakdown of your muscles for energy, the rate at which your muscles are catabolized will be such that your muscles are spared as much as possible – this state is called “protein sparing” – it’s a survival mechanism that is built into human physiology to deal with times of famine.

Getting back to the big picture, it should be clear that from about the 2nd or 3rd day of a water-only fast, your body meets it energy requirements by burning through your fat reserves.

Since the bulk of the toxins in your body are stored in your fat reserves, the longer you fast on water only, the more fat you’ll burn and the more toxins you’ll eliminate from your system.

This is why we see elimination of lipomas, atheromas (accumulated waste in your blood vessels), and other conditions related to toxin accumulation during a prolonged water fast.

Put another way, your body does not experience significant detoxification during the first 12-24 hours of a water-only fast.

Your body begins to eliminate large quantities of toxins only after it begins to burn your fat reserves at a rapid rate. And this doesn’t happen until you’ve used up the glycogen stores in your liver and muscles.

So when you fast one day a week, you deplete the stores of sugar in your liver and muscles, and you begin to break down your muscles – these are the main things you accomplish during the first day of water fasting. Significant detoxification only begins to occur if you continue past day one of fasting.

This is not to say that there are no benefits to fasting one day a week, or that you don’t eliminate any toxins during a one-day fast.

You are eliminating toxins with every breath that you take. And your body will always increase its rate of ongoing detoxification whenever you get more rest and/or eat less food, because less digestive burden and more physical rest always mean more available resources for detoxification.

Rather than fast one day a week on water only, I think it makes more sense to do a juice fast one day a week, or even once a month. With a juice fast, you can supply your body with enough nutrients that you don’t have to deplete the sugar stores in your liver and muscles, or break down a lot of your muscle tissue. At the same time, because the nutrients in freshly pressed juices are so easily digested, a one-day juice fast can ease digestive burden and enhance ongoing detoxification to some degree.

But let’s be clear: the main benefit of a one-day juice fast is not significant detoxificiation; it’s a concentrated period of rest for your digestive organs, and an opportunity for the organs that are responsible for ongoing detoxification (liver, kidneys, skin, and lungs) to do a little extra health-promoting work.

To sum things up, I would say that it’s not good for long term health to fast one day a week on water only. If you want to give your body a period of rest and intense cleansing once in a while, it makes more sense to spend a day eating all raw fruits and vegetables, or drinking nothing but freshly pressed juices. If experiencing this type of cleansing period is of interest to you, I recommend that you view the following series of articles:

 

Full Body Cleanse: The Basics

If you do a Google search for full body cleanse, your web browser will bring up more than 2 million Web sites that offer information on how to experience a full body cleanse. If cleansing and detoxifying for health purposes wasn’t a mainstream topic before, it certainly is now with the recent launch of Oprah’s 21-Day Cleanse.

Here are some of the most common questions that I receive on a weekly basis from people seeking guidance on how to cleanse and detoxify their bodies:

What’s the best way to detoxify my body?

How do I prepare for a cleanse?

How do I return to my everyday routine after a cleanse?

Is it okay to detox while I take my meds?

How do I cleanse my liver?

If you’re not quite sure what to make of the whole cleansing and detoxing craze, I hope that this three-part series on cleansing gives you a solid understanding of this important health topic.

What Exactly is Detoxification?

Detoxification refers to the process of eliminating toxins from your body.

There are two major types of toxins that your body accumulates over time:

Environmental Toxins: Sometimes called exogenous (made outside your body) toxins, environmental toxins include all the chemicals and pollutants that you’re exposed to through air, water, and food.

Common environmental toxins include pesticides, herbicides, prescription and over-the-counter medications, carbon monoxide, triclosan, bisphenol A, phthalates, and volatile organic compounds.

Metabolic Toxins: Sometimes called endogenous (made inside your body) toxins, metabolic toxins are produced by each of your cells as they go about their everyday metabolic processes. Metabolic toxins can also be produced by microorganisms that act on incompletely digested food in your digestive tract.

It’s normal for your cells to contain some toxins at all times. After all, your cells need to manufacture energy on an ongoing basis, and the manufacturing process results in waste (toxin) production.

Toxins only present a challenge to your health when they accumulate to a point where they interfere with cellular function – we call this state toxicosis.

The first effect of toxicosis is disruption of cellular function. If a group of cells experience significant toxicosis, specific health challenges develop, examples being thyroiditis, hepatitis, prostatitis, unexplained chronic fatigue, and problems with vision. If toxicosis persists, it’s possible for the DNA in your cells to become damaged, which may lead to abnormal cellular growth of the affected cells.

While the majority of chronic health challenges are caused by more than one factor, I hope that it’s clear that allowing your body to accumulate toxins over the long haul can result in you developing any one of the chronic diseases that are plaguing people in industrialized countries. To be clear, toxicosis cancontribute to coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes mellitus, respiratory illness, kidney disease, liver dysfunction, autoimmune illness, hormonal imbalances, skin conditions, and most types of cancer.

Your Body is Constantly Detoxifying and Cleansing

The good news is that your body is designed to constantly gather up and remove toxins from your cells. Most of the toxins that are stirred up from your cells are broken down in your liver, and then eliminated from your body via your kidneys, colon, skin, lungs, and mucus linings in your nose and ears.

Put another way, every time that you urinate, defecate, exhale, cough, sneeze, and experience an inside-out reaction with your skin, your body eliminates toxins from your system.

If your exposure to toxins rises, your body increases its output through the eliminative channels mentioned above. If your eliminative mechanisms cannot keep up with the number of toxins that are coming in and being generated in your cells, in an effort to preserve your health, your body attempts to store some of the toxins in your fat tissues. Even if you are lean for your body type, your body can store toxins in fat tissues that can be found interspersed between your muscle fibers and surrounding your organs.

The bottom line is this: Your body is committed to eliminating harmful toxins from your system at all times. Toxins can become problematic to your health if you accumulate enough of them to experience cellular dysfunction.

Full Body Cleanse

I hope that it’s clear that your body is experiencing a full body cleanse at all times. Put another way, your body is constantly at work to keep every cell in your body as healthy as possible.

Any effective full body cleanses or any other type of cleansing program that you go through should be designed to accelerate the detoxifying process that your body is already engaged in.

There’s not a lot that you have to do to encourage your body to rid itself of toxins.

You can accelerate cleansing and detox by reducing the number of exogenous and endogenous toxins that you are exposed to, and by giving your body the rest that it needs to devote its resources to its cleansing and detoxifying mechanisms.

Put another way, to experience a truly effective period of intense cleansing, you don’t need to give your body much by way of nutrients. Actually, all you need to give your body are physical and emotional rest, fresh air, water, and enough fuel to sustain your most basic metabolic processes. And as people who understand water fasting know, the fuel that you need for intense cleansing can actually come from reserves found in your liver, muscles, and fat.

But this isn’t an article about water fasting. This is an article about how to experience accelerated full body cleansing while going about most of your everyday routine.

Before we get into a specific protocol for intense cleansing, let’s address one final point: your body cleanses and detoxifies itself evenly. What I mean by this is that there’s no way for your body to cleanse your kidneys first, and then your liver, and then your eyes, and so on and so forth. Your body detoxifies all of its cells at about the same pace.

This doesn’t mean that every part of your body will feel healthier at the same pace, as each of your body parts has its own history and genetic predisposition. Let’s say, for example, that you have a long history of acne. If you begin a period of intense cleansing, it may be days or weeks or months after your internal organs have become significantly cleaner and healthier when you observe improvement in the health of your skin. And if other factors are contributing to your acne (such as an imbalance in your endocrine system), you may need years of healthful living to experience lasting improvement in skin health and tone.

Please don’t forget this fact: many chronic health challenges take years to develop, so it’s unrealistic to expect such challenges to fully heal within months, even if you fully support your cleansing mechanisms.

This last point is one that you probably won’t find on most of the more than 2 million Web sites that discuss how to experience a full body cleanse.

Although it may be disheartening to know, the truth is that lasting improvement in your health may take many months or years to manifest itself. You may feel better within days, but I hope that what you’re really shooting for is to build a foundation of health that will serve you for decades.

Also, please remember that the positive effects of an intense period of cleansing will last only as long as your dietary and lifestyle choices support your health after your cleanse. Your body is working its tail off to detoxify itself as you are reading these words, and it will continue to do so during an intense cleanse, and after an intense cleanse. Full body cleansing never stops – it is always happening at the pace that your daily choices allow. If you want to experience your best health, your job is to support your body’s self-cleansing mechanisms every day.

How to Experience an Intense, Full Body Cleanse

As mentioned earlier, here are the most basic requirements for an intense, fully body cleanse:

1. Expose yourself to as much fresh air as possible.
2. Get as much physical and emotional rest as possible.
3. Stay hydrated with water-rich foods and liquids.
4. Minimize your exposure to exogenous and endogenous toxins

 

Full Body Cleanse: Diet

During an intense, full body cleanse, the goal with your diet is simple: it’s to minimize the workload on your digestive organs while supplying your body with enough energy to carry out its everyday activities. Cleansing is performed primarily by your body’s self-regulated cleansing mechanisms, not by the nutrients in the foods that you eat.

Vegetables, fruits, and their juices are excellent food choices for an intense, full body cleanse for the following reasons:

1. For most people, vegetables and fruits are extremely easy to digest.
2. Vegetables and fruits are naturally rich in water; staying hydrated is an essential requirement for an intense, full body cleanse.

For the vast majority of people, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and all cooked animal foods are harder to digest than vegetables and fruits. So for an intense period of cleansing, it’s best to avoid everything but vegetables, fruits, their juices, and water.

How to Prepare for an Intense, Full Body Cleanse

Before beginning, it’s ideal to take a week or at least a few days to taper your intake of the following:

• Coffee
• Alcohol
• Salt
• Sugar and other sweeteners
• All animal foods, including dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, chicken, beef, pork, and all other flesh meats

These foods put significant strain on your digestive organs, and avoiding them “cold turkey” can sometimes create withdrawal symptoms that are too powerful for some people to tolerate.

It’s fine to eat grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds right up until the day before you begin your intense period of detox – these foods are rich in fiber, and their remains should move through your digestive tract without too much difficulty during your intense cleanse.

If you don’t wish to spend up to a week to taper your intake of the foods listed above, it’s fine to begin right away; just be aware that you may experience highly uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal, like strong headaches, lightheadedness, and nausea.

Other than tapering the foods-to-avoid during your cleanse, all that remains during the preparatory phase is to make sure that your kitchen is well stocked with vegetables and fruits that you enjoy.

Here is a list of vegetables and fruits that can be used for a highly effective cleanse:

• Dark green, leafy lettuce (romaine, red leaf, green leaf)
• Avocados
• Tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Celery
• Carrots
• Red beets (one or two will last a week)
• Zucchini
• Bell peppers
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Cabbage
• Asparagus
• Onions
• Corn
• Yukon gold or new potatoes
• Sweet potatoes or yams
• Acorn or butternut squash
• Watermelon
• Honeydew
• Cantaloupe
• Pears
• Apples
• Bananas
• Mangoes
• Papaya
• Peaches
• Plums
• Nectarines
• Grapes
• Coconut
• Oranges and grapefruit
• Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, goji berries, and any other berries that you enjoy
• Any other fruits or vegetables that you enjoy raw or juiced

Clearly, it’s best to choose fruits and vegetables that are in season. Organic varieties are best, but my experience has been that non-organic produce can also be used to experience an intense period of detox.

Regarding liquids: Have on hand plenty of water that you feel comfortable drinking. When weighed against all of the moment-to-moment dietary and lifestyle factors that affect your health, so long as your water isn’t intentionally poisoned, even municipal tap water can be used to experience a highly effective cleanse.

It’s fine to drink warm or hot water.

It’s also fine to use sparkling mineral water as you desire, although you should mainly drink “still” water during your cleanse.

Regarding medications: Please do not taper or stop taking prescription medications without your physician’s consent.

Regarding nutritional supplements: Avoid any supplements that contain synthetic nutrients, protein isolates, grains, nuts, seeds, or lecithin. It’s fine to take whole food supplements that contain nothing but vegetables and/or fruits. It’s also fine to take a probiotic as long as it doesn’t have added protein, grains, nuts, seeds, or lecithin.

Regarding equipment: If you can chew your foods well, you don’t need much by way of equipment. If you have access to a strong blender and a juicer, you can make smoothies and juices during your intense cleanse, but these aren’t absolutely necessary.

The Full Body Cleanse Diet

Morning

Eat any raw, ripe fruits that you desire, along with any combination of lettuce, celery, and avocado, if desired.

If you have trouble staying full on just raw fruits and vegetables, be sure to have avocado with your fruit, as the healthy fatty acids found in avocado should help you stay satisfied until your next meal.

If you’d like, you can blend up your morning meal into a smoothie.

You can also have water, sparkling water, or a hot drink made with boiling water and peppermint or chamomile tea.

 

Afternoon

Eat a large vegetable salad with as many different vegetables as possible. If you would like a salad dressing, use extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice or any combination of extra-virgin olive oil and citrus juice. Try to avoid vinegar, honey, salt, and spices.

If you have trouble feeling full, again, try to include an avocado with your salad.

If you don’t think you can make it to dinner on a raw vegetable salad with avocado, have a steamed Yukon gold potato, new potato, or sweet potato after your salad.

Feel free to have water, sparkling water, or peppermint or chamomile tea after your lunch meal. Also feel free to have any fresh, ripe fruits that you desire after your vegetable salad.

Evening

Eat any combination of raw vegetables and fruits that you desire, but aim to have at least as many vegetables as fruits.

If you’re still hungry after eating raw vegetables and fruits, have any steamed vegetables that you enjoy, such as steamed broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, corn, and asparagus.

If you’re still hungry after eating steamed vegetables, feel free to have steamed root vegetables, such as steamed potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots.

Have as much water, sparkling water, or peppermint or chamomile tea that you desire.

Snacks

Any raw fruits, vegetables, their juices, and smoothies made with raw fruits and vegetables are fine snack choices. For a dip to eat with raw vegetables, have guacamole made with avocado, red onion, and lemon or lime juice.

Full Body Cleanse Sample Menu

Morning

Big bowl of watermelon with a large handful of romaine lettuce leaves and 1/4 to 1/2 of an avocado.

Afternoon

A large vegetable salad made with leafy lettuce, cucumber slices, tomato slices, shredded carrots, shredded red beets, sliced red onions, shredded zucchini, 1/2 to 1 whole avocado, 1/2 a sweet bell pepper, and raw corn kernels.

Optional: Dressing made by mixing one part extra-virgin olive oil and one part orange juice.

Evening

Small bowl of romaine lettuce, celery sticks, mango, and blueberries.

Steamed cabbage, broccoli, and 1/2 to 1 whole raw avocado.

Snack

Smoothie made with banana, blueberries, mango, and water.

Full Body Cleanse Schedule

A nice feature of this full body cleanse is that you can follow it for however many days you desire and/or your schedule allows.

Initially, you may want to try it over the weekend, beginning on Friday evening, and ending on Monday afternoon.

Many people find that seven full days is quite manageable, and produces noticeable changes in energy level and sense of well-being. The first while can be tough for some people who experience severe symptoms of withdrawal, but for the majority of people who experience such symptoms, things start to look up after a few days.

If you like how this program of eating makes you feel, it’s fine to continue with it for as long as you feel strong and healthy.

When you’re ready to add other foods back into your diet, it’s best to proceed slowly. On the first day of “breaking” your cleanse, you should follow the same diet, but add one additional food to your afternoon or evening meal, like hummus made with chickpeas.

On day 2, you can have two servings of protein-dense foods; say a serving of eggs with lunch and a serving of fish for dinner.

As you break into a long-term pattern of eating, the goal should be to keep the full body cleanse diet as the foundation of your diet, and to add small servings of healthy, protein-dense foods (grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and animal foods) to your meals as your appetite dictates.

How to Use Fresh Juices during Your Full Body Cleanse

After a day or two of getting right into the full body cleanse diet, it’s fine to try a day or two of having nothing but fresh juices.

Because juices are mostly devoid of fiber, they put even less burden on your digestive organs than the whole foods that they come from. Less digestive burden translates to more energy being available for your self-regulated cleansing mechanisms.

 

 

Here are some guidelines for juicing days:

1. Have as many freshly pressed juices as you desire.
2. Stick mainly with green juices that are made with a foundation of dark green, leafy lettuce and celery. Use only small amounts of sweet root vegetables like carrots and red beets.
3. If you want to have some freshly pressed fruit juice, mix it 50/50 with a non-sweet vegetable juice.

Here’s an example of what a juicing day might look like:

Juice #1

6 leaves romaine lettuce
2 ribs celery
2 carrots

Juice #2

6 leaves green leafy lettuce
2 oranges

Juice #3

6 leaves romaine lettuce juice
2 leaves green cabbage
2 carrots

Juice #4

Big handful of kale or Swiss chard
2 ribs celery
2 apples

Juice #5

2 tomatoes
2 carrots
3 ribs celery
Squeeze of lemon juice

After your juicing day(s), go back to the full body cleanse diet described above for at least a day before adding protein-dense foods to your diet.

An alternative to doing full juicing days is to substitute one of your regular meals with a freshly pressed vegetable juice.

Eliminate Toxicity

Every healing arts practitioner should grow their practice by researching and introducing new formats and protocols that are proven to work.  The 60 day cellular detoxification program is one of those.

Years ago, I was able to recommend a bottle of enzymes or a bottle of adrenal and the problem would be solved.  However in this day and age these items are not as effective as they used to be because the human body is not the same as it was 40 years ago.  Today, Umbilical Cord blood contains 287 toxins and the number is rising.  We are indeed a toxic society with the problems seemingly beginning before we are even born.

As with the PXP I introduced in February of this year, I researched this 6o day program for just under a year before feeling comfortable enough to release it to the ‘general public. Both PXP and the 60 day cellular detoxification program are tools necessary for what is called “a new millennium in healing”.

Here is the most safe and effective regimen for a 60-day detoxification program that works sequentially, deeper and deeper in the body while providing smooth removal of toxins, chemicals, and metabolic wastes though the body’s innate processes.

This program addresses the liver first, then the extra-cellular matrix, and then the cells.

It features:

• Liver Support – When the liver’s vitality is improved, it can better detoxify the body.
• Neuroendocrine Support – Helps protect the pituitary and hypothalamus during detoxification and helps avoid further hormone-receptor resistanceand confusion.
• Drainage Support – Additional support for the organs that serve asdetox pathways-the liver, gall bladder, and kidneys
• Extra-cellular Matrix Support – Sequential focus on toxins that are stored in the adipose tissues and extra-cellular matrix. Byfirst supporting the liver, then addressing the extra-cellular matrix, herx reactions are avoided.
• Cell Membrane Support – Antioxidants help protect the cell membranes from inflammatory toxins.
• Inner Cell Methylation Support – Nutrition for the cell’s innate detoxification and repair mechanisms.
• Inner Cell Free Radical Protection – Nutrition to protect the mitochondrial and cellular DNA from damage including intermediate metabolites.
• Inner Cell Intermediate Metabolite Support – Nutritional protection from ammonia and sulfur metabolites

The cost of this program is $575- .  The long term results are worth the investment for if not, I would never recommend it.

 

Goals/Objectives:

• Treat both cellular membranes and the cellular mitochondria (energy engines )
• Get to the bottom line of illness by removing the root cause which is cellular toxicity
• Lose weight by restoring hormonal imbalance damaged by cellular toxicity.
• Eliminate all sweets and grains to lose weight
• Get your energy from fats instead of from sugars.
• Restore DNA and RNA
• Eliminate the need to continually use supplementation to treat symptoms instead of getting to the true cause.

Edgar Cayce’s Karma Cleanse

On the 6th day of September, in the year 1924, while living in Dayton Ohio, Edgar Cayce gave a reading for a male adult (4695-1) who was dealing with an advanced sarcoma, which the reading classified as a bacilli in the blood. Along with recommending the Abrams machine to produce the resonant bacilli frequency, or counter frequency if you will, Mr. Cayce suggested the use of an herbal tincture blend as a blood cleanser consisting of 1/2 ounce each of wild cherry bark, stillingia, yellow dock root, poke root, and burdock root, along with 3/4 ounce of potassium iodine, and enough simple syrup (heated water with beet sugar) to make a total of six ounces of this tonic. Now, take an 80 year pause, a deep breath, and relax. Most people reading this are saying; “So?” For the small percentage of people who understand the implications of what this reading suggests, which hopefully will eventually widen out into the rest of my reading audience, let’s go back and quietly review what happened next.

Not far from Dayton, across the Indiana state line, lived a boisterous young man by the name of Harry Hoxsey. When Harry heard about this herbal blend he decided that someone should secure these ingredients and test out the concoction to see just how good of a blood cleanser it was. After all, if it worked for 4695, then it only stood to reason that it should work for others. As this was Harry’s idea, he decided that he would be that person, and that is what he did. Keep in mind back then the term cancer was rarely mentioned, not because cellular malignancy had a different label, but rather because cancer was not that common. Anyway, Harry’s motivation was two-fold. He would heal the sick of this devastating and incurable disease, and along with that become rich and famous.

For the next 25 years Harry would travel the countryside touting his miraculous blood cleanser which imparted unparalleled success. As the global incidence of cancer continued to rise, so did Harry’s notoriety. Ultimately Harry drew unto him a number of detractors. Some were envious of his astounding cure rate while others simply ‘wanted a piece of the action. But Harry’s secret formula was closely guarded and he cleverly masked it’s original inception with an elaborate story of how the ingredients “were originally passed down to him by his grandfather. The story went something to the effect that his grandfather, who was a veterinarian, observed one of his horses, which happened to have a cancerous condition, and what the horse happened to be eating in the pasture. Notes were taken, and when the horse cured itself, the formula was derived. Of course logically, there’s no way all of these herbs would have been growing in a single pasture, not to mention the illusive iodine herb, but most people, on up to today, believed Harry’s story. It was something about an animal’s intuitive ability for self-preservation that really stuck.

Despite numerous attempts by the government and individuals to stop him, Harry Hoxsey eventually realized his dream of a cancer treatment facility which he located in Dallas, beginning in the early 50′s. For approximately 12 years the Hoxsey hospital was the largest, and by far and away, the most successful cancer treatment institution on the planet. Records show that literally thousands of people were treated and recovered from a wide assortment of cellular malignancy with this simple tonic (who’s ingredients were modified slightly from time to time with a given situation).

Unfortunately for Harry his corrosive nature along with his tendency to flaunt his fiscal success left him vulnerable to legal affronts from the ever-growing medical cartel, and during a court case in me early 60′s he was blindsided by a stacked jury and was forced into submission. He considered moving his hospital to another state as the charges brought against him were of a regional manner, but soon opted to relocate the facility outside the U.S. when he realized the magnitude of his opposition.

The Hoxsey clinic in Tijuana was the first American cancer treatment center in Mexico. Forty years later it remains it’s most successful. Thousands of people recovered from cancer during Harry’s stint in Dallas, and tens of thousands more have sought refuge from the standard medical paradigm since that time by crossing over the border. Considering the present scope of the problem this is a mere drop in the bucket.

The Abrams machine has long gone out of production, but as Harry Hoxsey continues to demonstrate from his grave, the Cayce blood cleanser is, and can continue to be and effective tonic for alleviating the root cause of malignant cellular activity: blood toxicity. Individuals could start percolating this relatively simple herbal blend which could then be dispensed to those in either a predisposition (marker) state, or a cancerous state. If enough people benefited from it a homegrown industry could eventually replace the allopathic model. Conceivably this single idea could derail the trillion dollar cancer treatment industry, not only salvaging the health and well being of millions of people but potentially avoiding an almost certain economic collapse which will likely precipitate from the present belief system. Perhaps even more important, if a grass roots movement of this kind actually did demonstrate it’s viability, no doubt it would become a model for addressing other health/ illness issues, as well as pave the way for future political, economic, and social reform. As I see it we’re at the crossroads. We can either get our butts off the couch and into the lab, or we can have them handed to us in a sling. Of course there’s always the option of the gazillionaire who is going to finance a facility to put this idea back in motion, but I don’t think I want to wait around for that to happen. What’s say we move this party forward and get on with the process of evolution.

** Although this product is called “Karma Cleanse”, the herbal ingredients it contains are specific for cleansing both the liver and the kidneys.  Edgar Cayce stated that the liver is the magnetic north pole of the body and the kidney’s are the magnetic south pole

** This is a lovely product that does its job slowly but surely over a 2-3 month period of time.

INGREDIENTS: Please read the entire ingredient description so as to provide you with a clear and accurate understanding of  the scholarship behind the product.

Wild cherry bark, stillingia, yellow dock root, poke root, and burdock root, along with 3/4 ounce of detoxified iodine, and enough simple syrup (heated water with beet sugar)

Wild Cherry Bark – Prunus serotina (Ehrh.)

Synonyms: Virginian prune, black cherry, black choke, choke cherry, rum cherry

Prunus is a large tree, up to 30m tall, and is widely distributed in woods throughout North America, especially in the Northern and Central states. It produces alternate stiff oblong or ovate leaves with serrated margins and small white flowers growing in lateral racemes. The bark is rough and nearly black on older trunks, but that used is younger, smooth, glossy and reddish brown with white lenticels and underlying greenish-brown cortex. The fruit is a nearly spherical, purple-black drupe, around 1.5cm in diameter, ripening in late summer and autumn.

Parts used: dried bark

Constituents: cyanogenic glycosides including prunasin; volatile oil, benzaldehyde, coumarins, benzoic acid, gallitannins, resin, an enzyme (prunase).

Actions: antitussive, expectorant, mild sedative, astringent, digestive bitter, tonic, pectoral, stomachic

Indications: irritable and persistent cough of bronchitis, pertussis, cough due to increased irritability of respiratory mucosa. Nervous dyspepsia.

Therapeutics and Pharmacology: Prunus is an important cough remedy. The cyanogenic glycosides are hydrolysed in the body to glucose, benzaldehyde and hyanocyanic acid, otherwise known as prussic acid. Prussic acid is rapidly excreted via the lungs where it first increases respiration and then sedates the sensory nerves which provoke the cough reflex. Due to its powerful sedative action, it is used primarily in the treatment of irritating and persistent coughs when increasing expectoration is inappropriate, and thus has a role in the treatment of bronchitis and whooping cough and in the racking cough of debility or convalescence. It can be combined with other herbs to control asthma. Both the cyanogenic glycosides and volatile oil help to improve the digestion, and Prunus may be used as a bitter where digestion is sluggish. The cold infusion of the bark may be used as a wash in eye inflammation and as an astringent in diarrhea.

Edgar Cayce recommended wild cherry bark for pulmonary conditions and as an aid to digestion. It was also noted for its role in cleansing and building blood.
Wild cherry bark was mentioned in 312 readings between 1921 and 1944.

Stillingia – (Stillingia sylvatica)

Common Names and Synonyms: Queen’s Delight, Queen’s Root, Silver Leaf, Yaw Root

Background:This plant grows in sandy soil from Maryland to Florida; along the Gulf of Mexico, and westward toward Colorado. The leaves are elliptical and leathery, having almost no base where attached to the stem. Yellow florets appear on the spiked stems from March to August, or longer where the weather is warm. The plant must be fresh to be effective. The resinous, milky juice in the yellow-brown root stalk has an unpleasant smell and bitter taste. Native to North America, stillingia has been used extensively to treat syphilis. Herbalists also use this herb as a blood purifier, digestive aid and immune enhancer.

Stillingia in the Cayce Readings

Edgar Cayce recommended Stillingia as a blood purifier and digestive aid, especially with reference to stimulating the liver, kidneys and spleen.
Stillingia was mentioned in 201 readings between 1924-1941. Stillingia utilization peaked in 1928 with another notable increase in 1935.

Cayce Quotes on Stillingia

4742-1 . . . In Stillingia, we will find as a diarrheic [diuretic?] for the digestive forces of the body (in a quantity which will be told you is very little, or not much dose but this we want as the IMPULSE, NOT an active force; for the active FORCES will be created by the manipulations and the adjustments!).

Yellow Dock Root – (Rumex crispus)

Common Names and Synonyms: Curled Dock, Narrow-leafed Dock

Background: Native to Europe and now widely distributed in North American, yellow dock has traditionally been used as a mild laxative and liver cleanser. It was also used externally to relieve insect stings. Today, herbalists use yellow dock as a blood cleanser, tonic and builder. It is also used to stimulate the liver and gallbladder and aid in digestion. The characteristic of this plant is the light green narrow leaves, curled at the long edges, a stem 2 or 3 feet high, and a deep root which is bright yellow when the outer bark is scraped away. The roots are gathered in the fall, thoroughly cleaned, split lengthwise, and dried. A tea made from yellow dock root is mildly cathartic and promotes the flow of bile.

Yellow Dock in the Cayce Readings

Edgar Cayce recommended yellow dock root as a digestive aid and blood purifier, working especially with the liver and pancreas.
Yellow dock root was mentioned in 265 readings between 1911 and 1944. Yellow dock root utilization peaked in 1924 and decreased markedly with only a slight increase between 1932-1935.

Cayce Quotes on Yellow Dock

Poke Root – (Phytolacca decandra)

Synonyms: Pokeweed, Pigeon Berry, Poke Root, Coakum, Pocan

Background:Poke is a toxic herb which may be eaten after long boiling. Medicinally, poke is used as purgative and anti-inflammatory. Poke grows in shady soil across eastern North America. The green or purple stems bearing simple leaves and white flowers that give way to purple staining berries, was used in small doses by the Indians as a blood purifier. The roots were crushed and roasted. This plant must be properly cooked or it can be toxic.

Constituents: Poke root’s main constituents include triterpenoid saponins, alkaloid, resins, phytolacic acid, tannin, formic acid, fatty oil and sugar.

Medicinal Action and Uses: A slow emetic and purgative with narcotic properties. As an alterative it is used in chronic rheumatism and granular conjunctivitis. As an ointment, in the proportion of a drachm to the ounce, it is used in psora, tinea capitis, favus and sycosis, and other skin diseases, causing at first smarting and heat.

The slowness of action and the narcotic effects that accompany it render its use as an emetic inadvisable. It is used as a cathartic in paralysis of the bowels. Headaches of many sources are benefited by it, and both lotion and tincture are used in leucorrhoea.

As a poultice it causes rapid suppuration in felons. The extract is said to have been used in chronic rheumatism and hemorrhoids. Authorities differ as to its value in cancer.

Poke in the Cayce Readings

Edgar Cayce did not describe a specific action for poke.
Poke is mentioned in 49 readings between 1922-1943 with peak utilization between 1924-1926.
Poke was recommended as a food (poke greens in 8 reading during the later years) or as an ingredient in a complex compound. When prescribed in a compound, the most frequent form was prepared (tincture, extract, essence or fusion
Although a wide diversity of formulas were given that contained poke, the most common substances mentioned in the same readings with poke were as follows: Yellow Dock, Wild Cherry, Sarsaparilla, Stillingia, Tolu, Calisaya, Burdock Root, Mandrake, Potassium Iodide

Cayce Quotes on Poke

3741-1 . . . Then to bring the better results to the body, and to correct these conditions, we would first give that in the system that would give the correct incentives to the organs of elimination to function properly; that is, prepare the system first for the corrections in the dorsal region, and then stimulate all excretory system, and the nerve centers that are released, and we will bring the better conditions to the body. Taking, then, this first: Syrup Sarsaparilla, Syrup or Fluid Extract Wild Cherry Bark, Fluid Extract Stillingia, Fluid Extract Yellow Dock Root, Fluid Extract Poke Root.

Add to this sufficient simple syrup to make 12 ounces. The dose would be teaspoonful three times each day, until the greater, or until three-fourths of this has been taken. Then, through deep manipulations, osteopathically, reduce the condition in the dorsal region, 6th and 7th, 8th and 9th, reflexly. This will stimulate also the whole excretory system. At the same time taking those vibrations of the violet ray, using the heavier applicator, for three minutes each evening. Do not take this while medicinal properties are being taken, but after all of this has been taken. Begin with osteopathic treatments before the whole quantity is taken.
4818-1 . . . Then, to reduce the condition and to bring the normal forces to the body, we would first take those properties in the system that will give the correct incentives for the eliminations, then correct the condition in the cerebro-spinal nervous system, giving the correct functioning of the body and the correct vibrations through the adjustment of these conditions and bring about the normal forces.

Taking, then, this: To 4 ounces of simple syrup, add Syrup of Sarsaparilla, Elixia Calisaya. Fluid Extract Stillingia, Fluid Extract Yellow Dock Root, Fluid Extract Poke Root, Fluid Extract Capsici.

Shake solution well together before the dosage is taken. The dose would be half a teaspoonful taken three times each day. When two-thirds of quantity has been taken (and at the same time keeping the intestinal tract open, full, free, that we may reduce the eliminations and the excretory forces may be functioning nearer the normal), begin with the deep manipulations in the whole cerebro-spinal system, adding the light rays to the lower dorsal and the lumbar and sacral region, of the Alpine Rays. These we find will give the correct vibrations and the eliminations necessary to produce the adjustment and coordination through the body here, [4818].

Burdock Root (Arctium lappa)

Common Names and Synonyms: Beggar’s Buttons, Thorny Burr, Gypsy’s Rhubarb, Fox’s Clote, Cockle Buttons

Background: Burdock grows wild throughout much Europe and the northern United States. Traditionally, burdock was used as a blood purifier and to treat skin sores. Today burdock is also used as a systemic cleanser and is particularly noted as a liver purifier and hormone balancer, especially in cases of skin, arthritic and glandular problems. The large-leafed plant bears thistle-like red or purple flowers set in a round, fruiting head, covered with burrs. Burdock grows wild along field borders from July to September and the burrs cling to the fur of any passing animal or to a person’s clothing. The idea for the product known as Velcro came from the sticking quality of the burrs.

Active Ingredients: Burdock root contains: Approximately 27-45% inulin, mucilage (up to 75% of the root is carbohydrate in the form of fructo-oligo-saccharides (FOS) including inulin); 0.06-0.18% essential oil with so far 66 identified components; antibacterial polyacetylenes; bitter substances (i.e. lactones); 1.9-3.65% polyphenols including caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and other powerful flavonoid-type antioxidants; sitosterol and stigmasterol.

Burdock in the Cayce Readings

According to the Cayce readings, the intended action of burdock was as a digestive stimulant to the stomach, intestines, pancreas and liver.
Burdock was mentioned in 160 readings between 1911 and 1944.
Burdock was always recommended with other substances in a compound, never by itself.

Cayce Quotes on Burdock

1012-1 . . . The Burdock is an activative force with or in the juices through the hydrochloric area, or in the pylorus.
4650-1 . . . We find these conditions, for the condition to produce the proper secretions to the pancreas and to give the correct functioning of the liver these elements are added in those of the Burdock and Yellow Dock root
AVAILABILITY:

Karma Cleanse comes in an 8-ounce bottle, which provides you with 48 servings, an approximate 6-week supply.

USAGE:

1/2 teaspoon twice a day is  the “recommended” and safe dosage.  My patients have test for dosages ranging from 1/2 teaspoon once, twice or three times daily to a full teaspoon once, twice or three times daily.  Again, as with any de-tox product, I highly recommend you work with a physician or other knowledgable health care provider who is able to advise, counsel and guide you through the process

NOTE: If you’re taking Detoxified Iodine and/ or Karma Cleanse (because the Karma Cleanse has Iodine in it), they should be taken at least two hours before the Probiotic or one hour after.
At issue is that there are living flora (or good bacteria) in the Probiotic that will killed by the Iodine if they are in the system at the same time. After 30 to 60 minutes, the Probiotic has been processed by the body, and there is no longer an issue.
Also, if you are taking both Karma Cleanse and Detoxified Iodine, be aware that Karma Cleanse contains the equivalent of 4 drops of Detoxified Iodine per teaspoon. You will want to adjust your dosage of Detoxified Iodine.

Eating/Living According to the Season (Spring)

•Both spring and autumn are seasons of transition.

• In spring we are transitioning from winter and preparing for summer as opposed to autumn where we are transitioning from summer to winter.

• Spring is a time of detoxification of the organs, especially the Liver and Intestines, getting them ready for lighter, watery, summer foods.

• Spring is a time of inspiration—wanting to get out and do things • Everyone has heard of spring cleaning. The same theory applies to the human body. • In spring we need to eat foods that have an “upward” movement—foods that reawaken the yang energy as that energy has been hibernating throughout the winter.

• Foods that can either be pungent or sweet are the rule of thumb for the spring.

• The liver is the ruler over the spring. It is the root of life’s ultimate action; its condition is revealed in the fingernails and toenails as well as in the muscles.

• The liver has the functions of strategic planning; the gallbladder has the function of decisions and judgments—Indecisiveness is always a gallbladder symptom.

• The morning time of day is governed by Spring; afternoon by Summer; evening by Autumn and night by Winter.

Spring Balance Spring Imbalance

Beginnings                                                             Still the same old stuff

Cleaning body, home                                        Excess

Elimination, exercise                                       Congestion, laziness

Garden, greens, sprouts                                  Weeds, “lifeless” foods, drugs

Creativity, enthusiasm                                    Overeating

Suggestions for Springtime Eating and Lifestyle:

• All green leafy chlorophyll laden vegetables including, but not limited, to sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, watercress, kale, spring spinach, chicory, malvas’ and a host of other green vegetables deliberately given to humankind at this time of year to help us “clean up” our bodies.

• Dr.P’s Magic Green Drink is absolutely recommended at this time of year more than other time.

• The sweetness of spring applies by eating fruits such as strawberries other types of fruit in season and natural raw honey.

• Sassafras, peppermint, nettles and comfrey are all excellent herbs used for tea. It has been said that drinking one cup of sassafras tea a day for two weeks can help clean the entire body.

• Introducing more water, into the system but not as much water as is required in summer.

• Detoxification Programs such as the Gallbladder Flush, Stanley Burroughs’s The Master Cleanse and the VE Iron 7 day Intestinal Putrefaction Flush- the purpose of which is to eliminate toxins created by eating heavier winter foods and preparing the body for lighter summer foods.

• Fasting one day a week • Salt scrubs, hot baths, saunas and steam baths.

• Transitioning from meats to vegetables as spring gets closer and closer to summer.

• More and more outdoor activity which helps heal “spring fever”.

The long and the short of all this is that for centuries humankind has lived according to the seasons. In theory, we should only eat foods that grow 500-700 miles around us. The foods in this area are specific to the environment. We cannot do  this 100%. After all, many of us drink coffee and it does not grow in any region of the US. However, we can do the best we know how by putting our best foot forward and paying attention.

The Universe makes no mistakes—Humankind is another story!!

Best Cellular Detoxification Ever

A New Model For Detoxification

This year I introduced what I believe to be  the most safe and effective regimen for a 60-day CELLULAR detoxification program that works sequentially, deeper and deeper in the body while providing smooth removal of toxins, chemicals, and metabolic wastes though the body’s innate processes.

Years ago I was able to recommend a bottle of Vitamin C or some type of Gallbladder or Adrenal support and the patients got better.  For whatever reasons (and there are many) this no longer works today–hence called A New Model for Detoxification because it is A New Model for a NEW MILLENIUM.

Until now there were no programs able to penetrate a cell’s dual membranes to gain entry into the cell; tweak the mitochondria and repair DNA. Repairing and stabilizing the dual cellular membrane and the Mitochondria (the DNA carrying energy engines of the cell) are the primary GOAL of the entire program. This is the new science of “Epigenetics”.  Some cells may contain up to 300 Mitochondria depending on the exact job the cell is programmed for.

Hormone imbalance which may very well be the root cause of weight gain are corrected through this program because hormones become imbalanced due to Cellular Toxixity.  Please see my post Weight Loss-Not Your Fault for details regarding weight loss and the 60 day cellular detoxification program.

Keeping in mind there are over 100 trillion cells in the body–a detox program such as this will initiate the process of cellular detoxification.  Science has known for years a cell in the big toe knows how to communicate with a cell in the kidney–they just do not understand HOW.  Point being, once the process is established the body recognizes the change and creates the same process everywhere it can.

This program is nothing akin to a Gallbladder Flush or Master Cleanse both of which I often recommend.  These types of flushes are specific for an organ or an area but are not designed to get into the cell itself.

The products used in were developed by Systemic Formulas.   The scholarship and science behind these product formulations is brilliant. The ingredients themselves are the best quality in the world and the combination of ingredients is impeccably standardized.

This program is divided into three 20 day phases. It addresses the Liver throughout all three phases, the extra-cellular matrix, and  the cell membranes/mitochondria. 

The 5 R’s of Cellular Healing!

1. Remove the Source (eg. mercury fillings/beauty products)
   
2. Regenerate Cell Membranes (Inner and Outer)
3. Restore Cellular Energy (Mitochondrial ATP)
4. Reduce Inflammation (Oxidative Free Radical Damage)
5. Re-Establish Methylation (Cellular DNA Repair)

To accomplish the above a cellular detox program must provide the following:

• Liver Support – When the liver’s vitality is improved, it can better detoxify the body.
• Neuroendocrine Support – Helps protect the pituitary and hypothalamus during detoxification and helps avoid further hormone-receptor resistance and confusion.
• Drainage Support – Additional support for the organs that serve asdetox pathways-the liver, gall bladder, and kidneys
• Extra-cellular Matrix Support – Sequential focus on toxins that are stored in the adipose tissues and extra-cellular matrix. By first supporting the liver, then addressing the extra-cellular matrix, herxheimer reactions are avoided.
• Cell Membrane Support – Antioxidants help protect the cell membranes from inflammatory toxins.
• Inner Cell Methylation Support – Nutrition for the cell’s innate detoxification and repair mechanisms.
• Inner Cell Free Radical Protection – Nutrition to protect the mitochondrial and cellular DNA from damage including intermediate metabolites.
• Inner Cell Intermediate Metabolite Support – Nutritional protection from ammonia and sulfur metabolites.

**This regimen may at times be tailored to the individual taking the program based on a health professional’s assessment.

General Rules:

Use your head!! You have just invested in a state of the art cellular detox program.  Therefore for the 60 day program do your best to stay as “clean” as you can.

• Increase water intake towards at least 96 ounces (3 quarts)
• If a person feels like she/he is detoxifying too rapidly, contact me directly and we will walk through it
• It would be enormously beneficial to avoid all sugar including Agave, Honey, Maple Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup etc.
• It would also be enormously beneficial to avoid grains the reason being that grains contain “AMYLOSE” and amylose is a sugar.

Dietary Suggestions:

1. No Dairy (Inflammation)     2. No Grains (inflammation)   3. No Sugar(inflammation)

 

Additional Suggestion: Castor Oil Pack over Liver 2-3 x weekly
