Constipation – common sign of a toxic colon

There’s an important added benefit to internal cleansing that most people experience: weight loss. With a sluggish, toxic digestive system, metabolism slows down, the energy level drops and we’re simply not strong enough to start burning off stored fat through exercise or other means. An internal cleansing program can help restore balance in the body and increase the metabolism, reactivating the body’s fat-burning mechanism. Plus, after a thorough detoxification program, you’ll find yourself much more inclined to make healthier dietary and lifestyle choices. Through a detoxified system, improved digestion, balanced metabolism and a healthier diet you will have no trouble maintaining a healthy weight.

Items Recommended, for weight loss:

• Heavy Metal Nano-Detox
• Cleanse Blend (colon cleanse)
• Coconut Oil
• Coral Calcium Powder
• Probiotic Complex
• Digest (2) (digestive enzymes)
• E Complete (vitamin E)
• DHLA (powerful antioxidant: Whole Food Supplement)
• C Complex (vitamin C: Whole Food Supplement)
• EFA Oil Blend (Omega 3,6,9: Whole Food Supplement)
• Greens Mix (Whole Food Supplement)
• Acetyl L-Carnitine - "CircuZyme"

B vitamins are also very important for weight loss* as they help in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. We also have B12 shots avalible on Tuesdays and Fridays ONLY. Cost $15

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you might want to consider some type of internal cleansing program:

Signs of self-poisoning

- Allergy or intolerance to certain foods
- Bad breath and foul-smelling gas and stools
- Constipation, diarrhea, sluggish elimination,     irregular bowel movements
- Frequent congestion, colds, viruses
- Flatulence or gas and frequent intestinal disorders
- Frequent headaches for no apparent reason
- General aches and pains that migrate from one place to another
- Intolerance to fatty foods
- Low energy; loss of vitality for no apparent reason
- Lower back pain
- Lowered resistance to infections
- Needing to sleep a long time
- Pain in your liver or gall bladder
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), breast soreness, vaginal infections
- Skin problems, rashes, boils, pimples, acne

Low PH Balance leads to acidosis

(You can test and monitor your ph balance with litmus paper)

Cancer, candida, yeast, mold, fungus, viruses, bacteria and parasites  cannot survive in a ph of 7.0 or above.

Temperature Regulation For Thyroid Testing – Basal Temperature Method

Do you ever experience fatigue, depression, difficulty concentrating, difficulty getting up in the morning, cold hands and feet or intolerance to cold, constipation, loss of hair, fluid retention, dry skin, poor resistance to infection, high cholesterol, psoriasis, eczema, acne, premenstrual syndrome, loss of menstrual periods, painful or irregular menstrual periods, excessive menstrual bleeding, infertility (male or female), fibrocystic breast disease, or ovarian cysts? If so, you may have an underactive thyroid. It is often seen in people who suffer from multiple allergies, immune disorders and chronic fatigue.

Normal temperature regulation in the body is essential for enzyme functions and preservation of health. Whenever our molecular and immune defenses are stressed, three body organs take the brunt of the injury; the thyroid, pancreas and adrenal glands. The evaluation of the functional status of the thyroid gland--hypothyroidism or under-active thyroid gland--requires blood tests as well as temperature records.

There is considerable evidence, however, that blood tests fail to detect many cases of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). It appears that many individuals have "tissue resistance" to thyroid hormone. Therefore, their body may need more thyroid hormone, even though the amount in their blood is normal (or even on the high side of normal). A low axillary temperature suggests (but does not prove) hypothyroidism. Optimal temperature regulation is an essential aspect of holistic therapy for these disorders.

There is a simple way to test this. Simply follow the instructions below and schedule a consultation.

Instructions:

Basal body temperature (BBT) is your temperature when you first wake up in the morning. Before you even get out of bed to brush your teeth or start your day, pop a basal thermometer (available at drugstores) into your mouth. This thermometer shows the minute incremental degree changes that a regular one can't. Most basal thermometers come with a temperature plotting chart. Make some extra copies of the chart.

1. Purchase a basal thermometer (available at drugstores). This thermometer shows the minute incremental degree changes that a regular one can't.

2.  You will need a basal temperature chart. ( e-mail a request, and we will send you one)

3. Shake the thermometer down before going to bed to 96 degrees or less and put it by your bedside.

4. In the morning, as soon as you wake up, put the thermometer deep in your armpit for ten minutes and record the temperature. Do this before you get out of bed, have anything to eat or drink, or engage in any activity. This will measure your lowest temperature of the day, which correlates with thyroid gland function. The normal underarm temperature averages 97.8-98.2 degrees F. We frequently recommend treatment if the temperature averages 97.4 or less. The temperature should be taken for four days.

5. Each time you are taking your temperature, it is imperative that you take both axillary (underarm) and oral (mouth) temperatures. Both temperatures need to be taken upon waking up as well as three hours later and then six hours after that. It is important to do this for four days and to follow these instructions carefully in order to get accurate results.

6. For women, the temperature should be taken starting the second day of menstruation. The reason is because a considerable temperature rise may occur around the time of ovulation and give incorrect results. If you miss a day, that is okay, but be sure to finish the testing before ovulation. For men, and for postmenopausal women, it makes no difference when the temperatures are taken. However, do not do the test when you have an infection or any other condition which would raise your temperature.

The Candida Diet

Excerpted from "The Nutrition Detective" pp. 125-129. (No longer in print)

There is no simple treatment for Candida.  Stopping the growth of the fungus and driving it out of the tissues are the goals of a multilevel treatment that includes:

• Immediate elimination of antibiotics, birth control pills and other hormone-altering substances.
• A diet designed to stop feeding the yeast.
• homeopathic liquid, like Candex--which permeate the intestines and help destroy Candida throughout the body or Ayurvedic remedies like NVD.
• Strengthening of the immune system through supplementation. Specially a good probiotic.
   

The diets required to starve out Candida eliminate all sources of yeast and fungus and all sugars and sweets, including lactose-containing dairy products, except for butter. If you can handle going on a fast do it.

Mild cases of Candida (yeast infections and vague symptoms that are recent) will usually respond to the Candida Diet No. 1

Moderate Candida (chronic, severe yeast infections or definite, interfering symptoms) would best respond to the Candida Diet No. 2

Severe cases, which may have begun in early childhood or are debilitating (cannot work, difficulty functioning), would require the persistent efforts of the Candida Diet No. 3

Each diet is listed with foods to eliminate, to reduce, and to emphasize.  In addition, each level has its recommended nutritional supplementation.

Sautéed vegetables on rice cakes, or a vegetable omelette.
Salads seasoned with safflower oil and a little fresh lemon juice.
Gazpacho, tomato-based fish chowder, vegetable soup.
Small quantities of rice and millet.  A cold rice salad with steamed vegetables, seasoned with oil and lemon juice; sautéed rice with vegetables, or simply steamed vegetables with either grain are a few ideas that will work on this program. Rice cakes, found in some supermarkets and health food stores, can be used instead of bread.
Vegetable sticks with guacamole dip (avocado, fresh tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, and a little salt) for a snack.

Candex to improve immune response and eliminate the fungus.
Nystatin in powder form, available by medical prescription.
Zinc , start with 25mg increasing to 75mg every evening.

 As soon as you are free from symptoms, begin reintroducing a few foods  slowly.  The last ones to add would be sugar, yeast, vinegar, and mushrooms.* 

It may be necessary for you to stay on the Candida Albicans Diet for a number of months.  The more thoroughly you are able to stay on these diets, the faster you can eliminate excess Candida.  However, it is better to be on a modified diet than on no diet at all.  Some patients would rather eat sugar or have a glass of wine occasionally even though it may mean being on the diet for a longer period of time.

Drink at least 2 litres daily of clean pure water. Consider lymphatic drainage techniques to keep the lymph system moving. Also consider exercises like a rebounder.
