Can You Take Probiotics While Taking Antibiotics or Chemotherapy?

Antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria. Doctors, concerned that probiotics can weaken the effectiveness of antibiotics, have sometimes warned patients not to take probiotics while on an antibiotic regimen or while on chemotherapy.

But now the mainstream medical opinion has shifted. With conventional researchers and doctors developing a deeper understanding of the importance of gut bacteria and the role it plays in our immune system, many doctors now recommend taking probiotics during antibiotic and chemo regimens. Apparently, the probiotics do not significantly affect the drugs if taken two or three hours after the drugs are administered (some say to wait two hours, some say three). In fact, studies have shown that probiotics can even increase the success rate of these treatments while potentially alleviating diarrhea and other side effects.

Probiotics are typically transient. Most do not colonize well, if at all, and the ones that are more likely to won’t colonize at all under antibiotic use or chemotherapy. But even if a probiotic can’t colonize effectively, with continued administration, it’s presence can keep pathogenic organisms from proliferating without disrupting existing beneficial gut bacteria.

So how do we protect or rebuild a healthy gut microbiome? The best way to get a healthy bacterial ecosystem to develop in the gut is to eat large salads like this one every day. Antifungal supplements (like SF722) and beneficial mushrooms can also help keep the gut flora healthy and ward off infections. But no supplement compares to eating right. Doing the right supplement with a healthy diet is great, but if money is too tight to do both, put that money towards the right diet.

Chemotherapy Detox

Chemotherapy drugs kill pathogens and beneficial bacteria, and they add a heavy toxic burden to the body. The circulatory system, endocrine system, lymphatic system, and every other system will be overwhelmed with toxins after using chemotherapy drugs, and soon the body will be inundated with pathogenic fungi. While chemotherapy will likely kill fungus, the fungal spores survive. And when there is nothing left to keep them in check, the spores will turn fungal and flourish. We recommend healing the gut and detoxifying the liver to recover from chemotherapy. Diet is crucial to this program, and we recommend continuing on with this diet to avoid another cancer diagnosis.

Gut Health 102

Gut bacteria defines your health. Science is in the process of figuring this out. One big reason gut bacteria is paramount to good health is that your gut bacteria do not stay in your gut. Our microbes that proliferate in our gut reside throughout our whole body. A healthy gut pushes healthy microbes into the bloodstream. It follows that an unhealthy gut ecosystem will leak unhealthy (pathogenic) microbes into the body.

They say that your gut comprises 80% of your immune system. That’s sort of true. A healthy gut has thousands of different bacteria that live in harmony. A less healthy gut has fewer kinds of bacteria inside. Fungi and other pathogens will easily flourish in such a gut. When there is an injury in the body pathogens and beneficial bacteria do the same thing; they feed off of the sugars and starches of the dead and decaying cells. Pathogens cause more damage to the area, beneficial bacteria do not. Because of how beneficial bacteria works, they make it difficult for pathogens to flourish. A healthy gut feeds the body a colony of beneficial microbes that help keep pathogenic activity from proliferating.

Diet

Beneficial bacteria like healthy food. Pathogens like unhealthy food. Your diet should primarily consist of the healthiest foods, lots of raw vegetables and herbs. We recommend 80% raw vegetables and 20% cooked vegetables and healthy whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, amaranth, and millet. Raw produce is high in fiber, which is essential for gut health. Fiber not only moves toxins through the bowels, but it also provides the perfect environment for healthy bacteria to thrive. Buy organic whenever possible, but small farms at your local farmer’s market may have organic food that they don’t certify (certification can be expensive).

Choose a wide variety of nutrient-dense foods. Eat huge salads every day with at least 12 different vegetables and a few fresh herbs. Pack your gut with raw vegetables and herbs every day and your gut will produce a variety of beneficial bacteria. There is no shortcut to this!

If you eat meat, make sure you choose organic meat. You do not want to eat meat from diseased animals fed hormones and antibiotics. Avoid processed foods, and do not eat any foods with artificial flavorings, colorings, preservatives, MSG, or trans fats. Avoid all GMOs. And do not let anyone cook your food for you. No rice cakes, no organic chips, no restaurant food, get completely well before you splurge. We also recommend cranberry lemonade made with stevia to help detoxify the kidneys and the liver. Check out Detox Cheap and Easy Without Fasting – Recipes Included and Start Eating Like That and Start Eating Like This – Your Guide to Homeostasis Through Diet for more on diet.

Supplements To Kill and Prevent Yeast, Candida, Mold, Fungus

Chemotherapy will leave a body ripe for fungal infections, but a body with cancer was a body that was probably already dealing with fungal issues. The supplements below will help properly balance the gut’s ecosystem. SF722 kills all fungi, and it works amazingly well. Berberine is a potent antimicrobial. The Candida Complex and the Microdefense are two good supplement complexes that eliminate pathogens as well. Syntol and Abzorb are probiotics. In the past doctors have warned against using probiotics during chemo treatments but now well-informed doctors are recommending that probiotics should be taken a few hours after chemotherapy drug administrations for better treatment outcomes. Abzorb also has a systemic enzyme that will help break down Candida along with many other benefits.

Liver Cleanse

The cranberry lemonade recipe mentioned in Detox Cheap and Easy Without Fasting is very beneficial for the liver and kidneys. If money is tight, put the money towards food first, and just get the SF722 and the Abzorb, above. But if it’s affordable, we also recommend a liver detox with  Shillington’s Blood Detox Tea, (and/or formula) Shillington’s Liver & Gallbladder Tea (and/or formula), and Mother Earth Organic Root Cider – Barrier Island Organics.

Enhanced Golden Milk Tea Recipe

This is a new twist on an ancient way of experiencing the benefits of turmeric. Ideally, use all fresh, unadulterated herbs whenever available. This will help detoxify the body, and it feels really good.

  • 1 cup of warm Coconut Milk
  • 1 ounce of turmeric juice, or 1 tablespoon of freshly grated turmeric (both should be with skin)
  • 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
  • 1 ounce of ginger juice or 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger (both should be with skin)
  • 1 pinch of black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Mix it all up and drink. For the drink to be warm, warm up the coconut milk only, but be careful not to cook the other ingredients. Add them in when the coconut milk is not too hot to drink so as to preserve enzymes and other fragile micronutrients.

Conclusion

It all comes down to gut health. We can’t harp on this enough. For healing from chemotherapy to preventing cancer, gut health is paramount. Don’t skip and don’t skimp on the salads. If you do nothing else from this article, we hope you’ll start eating large, diverse salads as often as possible. Salads change the gut ecology for the better. Nothing else makes as big of a difference.

Breast Cancer, Unnecessary Chemotherapy, and Invasive Procedures for Women

Is it easier to prescribe exhausting, and ineffective medications than it is to look for actual disease prevention and treatment? The answer is yes, and sixty percent of women with breast cancer are paying the price for that complacency with unnecessary chemotherapy.

A recent study released in the New England Journal of Medicine examined outcomes from two different breast cancer treatments: hormone therapy, and chemotherapy. After nine years of following patients, researchers found that the results were indistinguishable. It didn’t matter what treatment they received – nine out of ten women survived. So why do we continue with chemotherapy?

Do the ends justify the means?

Chemotherapy is our default medical standard of care for cancer. While it can eliminate the immediate threat, it’s more problematic than helpful. The cancer is gone, but many women are left crippled in another way. The immune system is a shell of what it once was, leaving the body open to all manner of infections and other health conditions.  According to Otis Brawley, chief medical and scientific officer for the American Cancer Society,

I have lost three patients over the last 25 years because they got leukemia from their chemo…I have lost patients who got congestive heart failure because of their chemo, and I have seen patients who get ‘chemo brain’ and have difficulty concentrating for the rest of their lives.”

The other, less invasive treatment option presented in this article isn’t perfect. Endocrine therapy, which inhibits the body’s ability to produce estrogen, can result in symptoms of early menopause, joint pain, and weight loss. But we didn’t have that option until recently. Why not? Is chemotherapy so effective that medicine should have stopped looking for solutions?

It’s a Pattern

The practice of applying unnecessarily invasive treatments to an entire gender is not a new one in the United States. The World Health Organization has advocated for a c-section rate of 10-15% for over 30 years. Yet the U.S. is frequently cited for rates of more than double that. C-sections are among the most performed surgeries in the U.S., yet mothers who fight for a different outcome are constantly told that “the most important thing is a healthy baby.” Yes, this is true, but that should not be a reason to discourage informed women trying to minimize the physiological fallout from pregnancy. There is a reason the percentage of expectant mothers who find it necessary to hire a doula when giving birth has doubled in a six-year period. Having an advocate is more important than ever.

Me Too

Studies have found that doctors are less likely to listen to or take the concerns of female patients seriously, sometimes describing their pain as emotional or psychogenic. Yet that lack of engagement can lead to treating all women with one size all procedures that aren’t always necessary. It also causes many women years of frustration, searching for someone who will take their concerns seriously.

It’s ironic that the alternative treatment to chemotherapy examined in this study reduces the amount estrogen in the body, literally suppressing female hormones. Women are taught to avoid rocking the boat, but speaking up or voting with your dollar and finding someone who will listen can be the thing that saves you from potential long-lasting health issues.

Renewing Health After Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is currently the most common treatment for cancer. While there are many well-researched and less-risky natural treatments available to cancer patients (The Gerson therapy, the Budwig protocol, and many others), the majority ends up choosing chemotherapy. Common reasons for this choice are fear, lack of funds, or lack of information about viable alternative treatments. (If you are newly diagnosed and still have time, I urge you to complete your research in order to make an informed decision).

Those who survive chemotherapy are sent home with little information. They are told the percentage of people who live for five years after remission. They are given a list of other chronic or even life-threatening illnesses they can expect to battle down the road. They are not given information on how to detoxify from the chemicals they were given or how to repair the damage caused by mainstream cancer treatment. They are not even given directions for lifestyle changes to address the original cause of their cancer.

Fortunately, there is a wealth of information out there from natural cancer research clinics and doctors of naturopathic and functional medicine. These practitioners look at the body as a whole. They can help you detox and bring your body to an optimal state of health to prevent a recurrence of cancer or the onset of other diseases.

Detox All of the Organs from the Effects of Chemo

Chemotherapy may easily be the most toxic treatment in modern conventional medicine. During the treatment, patients experience chemo brain (a special type of brain fog), extreme fatigue, nausea and vomiting, weakness, complete loss of appetite, hair loss, and mood swings. The side effects do not end with the end of treatment. The American Cancer Institute warns that long-term effects from the variety of drugs used include: memory issues, poor vision, poor thyroid function, weak bones, inflamed lung tissue, infertility, gum disease, heart disease at a younger age, emotional issues, and the development of other cancers. In children, the lifelong problems may also include behavioral problems and lower IQs. Most of these (and in some cases all of these) side effects can be prevented by eliminating the toxins left behind by chemotherapy.

The main organs to detox, restore and repair are the gut, liver, adrenal glands, and thyroid, plus any organ directly affected by cancer.

Detoxifying and Repairing the Gut

Many doctors say that health starts and ends with the health of the digestive tract or gut. If the gut is not functioning correctly, the body does not get enough nutrients and it is unable to perform normal detoxification on a daily basis. In addition, the immune system is severely compromised. Most of the people who have any type of dysfunction in the body or any chronic condition suffer from poor gut health. Gut health is adversely affected by many medications; it is greatly affected by chemotherapy.

First of all, clean up the diet. Remove all the junk: sugars; gluten; refined flours; GMOs; non-organic meats and dairy; foods that contain preservatives, artificial flavors, artificial colors, MSG or trans fats; commercial oils (such as canola oil); alcohol; tobacco; and coffee.

Replace these foods with fresh, raw organic produce, more vegetables than fruits, and foods that help heal the whole digestive tract: fermented vegetables, organic kefirs, raw dairy, turmeric and ginger, coconut oil, and aloe vera.

A good colon cleanse is a must. Every case and every body is different, and if you have the time and resources, consulting a certified doctor of natural medicine is the best way to find the best option for you. However, you can make your own cleanse at home as well, with no known risks (if you are not allergic to the ingredients).

Josh Axe, a doctor of natural medicine, recommends the following simple cleanse (everything should be organic):

  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ginger juice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water

Mix all the ingredients together in warm water, and drink it in the morning on an empty stomach.

More info: Gluten, Candida, Leaky Gut Syndrome, and Autoimmune Diseases

Bringing the Liver Back Up to Health

If the gut is not functioning properly, our bodies cannot absorb enough nutrition, even from the best quality foods, green juices, and supplements. Healing the gut must come first. Once it is functioning well, other problems can be fixed.

The liver is arguably the hardest hit by chemotherapy. Chemo drugs are so toxic, they may even cause sudden liver failure. To avoid further damage to the liver, the following should be avoided:

  • Alcohol
  • High-sodium junk foods
  • Sugar
  • Red meat (and limit all meat products)

Instead, pack your diet with garlic, green tea, dark green leafy vegetables, cabbage, cauliflower, turmeric (with black pepper), and avocados. All of these contain lever-cleansing and liver-building compounds.

As far as detoxing goes, milk thistle is the number one herb for cleansing the liver (as well as the kidneys and gallbladder). It is also recommended for people who have gone through radiation. This herb not only supports the liver with its active ingredient silymarin, it helps prevent cancer and other diseases by increasing glutathione levels. Milk thistle is a master antioxidant. It will help improve skin health, kidney health, brain function, and cholesterol levels. Dr. Axe recommends taking 150 mg 1 to 3 times daily when using it to treat liver dysfunction, 50 to 150 mg daily when using it as a preventative.

Rebuilding Adrenal Glands: No More Fatigue

It is common for cancer survivors to experience lifelong adrenal fatigue, which comes in cycles of complete burnout, followed by “feeling better” and increased energy only to have a stronger burnout later on. That is symptomatic of adrenal glands that are exhausted and are working in complete overdrive.

The symptoms of adrenal fatigue are:

  • Always feeling tired and overwhelmed
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Irritability
  • Racing and troubling thoughts
  • Body aches
  • Depression
  • Trouble focusing
  • Hair loss
  • Trouble getting up in the morning

The adrenal glands are responsible for our stress response. Besides the toxic chemo drugs, most cancer patients can burn out the adrenal glands from the overwhelming stress brought on by their diagnosis.

Do everything you can to decrease your stress levels. Get plenty of sleep, eat well, and exercise. Avoid getting stuck on negative thinking and find a way to deal with emotions in a healthy way (meditation, breathing exercises, and yoga are just a few options).

When it comes to a healthy diet for optimal adrenal health, follow the guidelines above and enjoy plenty of cruciferous vegetables, avocados, nuts and seeds, kelp, olives, coconut, and sea salt. Add adrenal-boosting herbs and vitamins to the diet, especially vitamins C, D, and B-complex; magnesium; zinc; fish oil; holy basil; and ashwagandha.

Most importantly, be patient. It can take up to 2 years for adrenals to fully recover.

More info: Holistic Guide to Healing the Endocrine System and Balancing Our Hormones

Restoring Healthy Thyroid Function

Thyroid and adrenal glands are most often linked when it comes to health. If one is not functioning properly, the other is likely struggling as well. The thyroid is also easily damaged by stress and toxins, and adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) often go hand in hand.

When the thyroid is not functioning properly, you can develop hypothyroidism, when the thyroid is not producing enough hormones (often leading to fatigue and weight gain), or hyperthyroidism, when the thyroid is producing too much of the thyroid hormones (often leading to insomnia, weight loss, and muscle weakness).

Whether it is hypo or hyperthyroidism, thyroid-nourishing supplements can be used to help heal the thyroid and help regulate its function. B vitamins are the main vitamin for thyroid health. Selenium improves general thyroid function, and ashwagandha helps with stress.

More info: Hypothyroidism - Natural Remedies, Causes, and How To Heal the Thyroid

Foods that Help Prevent Cancer

Many foods from the above categories that need to be avoided and need to be added are the same for every organ. Fortunately, the lists are also similar for general cancer prevention, so you can adapt one diet that helps your whole body rebuilt itself while preventing cancer at the same time. The basic rule is to stop eating all processed foods. Your diet should consist of 80% raw, fresh, whole, organic produce. Foods that are beneficial for almost everyone (apart from people who have specific allergies or rare conditions) are:

  • Leafy dark green vegetables: kale, spinach, etc.
  • Cruciferous vegetables: cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, etc.
  • Berries: blueberries, goji berries, camu camu
  • Fresh herbs: turmeric, garlic, oregano, cilantro, basil
  • Raw and cultured milk products: raw milk, kefirs
  • Nuts and seeds: chia, flaxseeds, hemp, sesame seeds (soaked before eating to release enzyme inhibitors)
  • Healthy oils: coconut, flax, and extra virgin olive oil
  • Herbal teas: green matcha, dandelion, chamomile

Besides eating well, it is also crucial to take care of your physical and emotional health.

Other Lifestyle Changes: Physical and Emotional Health

When it comes to physical health, it is not the strength of the muscles that is the concern but preventing stagnation in the body tissues. Going to the gym and lifting weights every day does not do much for overall health. A healthy body needs good circulation, flexibility, and a type of physical exercises that addresses every part of it. Yoga has repeatedly been proven to be one of the best options. Yoga poses address the whole body and are gentle enough for anyone, regardless of age or health. There is even chair yoga for people with movement restrictions. Tai Chi and Qigong are other gentle exercises that address whole body health and proper breathing.

In addition to exercising, add the following to your regular routine:

  • Dry skin brushing (aids the lymphatic system)
  • Hot/cold hydrotherapy (aids the circulatory system)
  • Epsom salts baths (cleanses and detoxifies and the body absorbs magnesium)

While taking care of physical health, it is important to remember to address emotional health as well. If the mind focuses on fear of cancer or feeling traumatized by the cancer experience, stress will prevent healing and the body’s return to its optimal state. If you decide to seek professional help, be selective in your choice of a therapist. Look for someone who will help you let go of the trauma you have endured, not dwell on it. You are not your cancer. You are not a victim. Find a therapist who can help you feel empowered and help you let go to make cancer a thing of the past. Emotional Freedom Technique is one example of a therapeutic modality that may help.

Speaking of making it your past, Dr. Richard Schulze adds a curious protocol to his healing – get rid of 1/3 of what you own. While the number is not important, here is what is: people “collect” bad memories and tokens of the past as if they were valuable. For example, many people keep mementos such as old wigs used during hair loss, photos of the hospital,  clothes worn on the day of the surgery, etc. Get rid of any item that reminds you of what you just went through. Both the body and the mind react each time you look at something that reminds you of a traumatic time.

Afterword

While chemotherapy is extremely toxic, there is no need to focus on fears of the lifelong health effects it may have. Instead, focus on healing. It is possible to bring the body back to health – or at the very least, significantly reduce the aftereffects. Find a doctor of natural medicine who is knowledgeable and has a positive outlook to help guide you, and listen to your body’s needs. Our bodies have an enormous capacity to heal. Let the mainstream doctors call it “spontaneous recovery” or “a miracle.” A body is a miraculous creation, but staying healthy is not. Follow the healthy diet, detox from toxins, and keep your mind positive. You will be surprised what positive effects this will have on your heath and your life.

The Most Atrocious, Widely Accepted Human Experiments of All Time

As humans, we have endured plenty of experimentation. Too often we have been unwitting test subjects for disease inducing experiments that were lauded as beneficial, and in some cases, even healthy! However, a few people have started to wake up and realize that they were being swindled by a shrewd and strategic plan that lines the pockets of the elite and keeps the rest of the population sick and under control.

Are you ready to wake up yet? If so, get ready to dive into the rabbit hole and discover four of the core experiments that have created disastrous results for our health, even though they have been heavily promoted by the establishment as healthy.

Dental Amalgams

It’s relatively easy to make a living as a dentist today. With the general population wolfing back hordes of processed and toxic foods, largely devoid of any nutrients and absorbing a variety of toxins introduced into the air, water, household, and personal care products, you have the perfect atmosphere for decaying and rotting teeth. With no one to properly explain how to avoid this fate (brushing is not the answer, but a small part of the solution), people continue to willingly parade into the dentist’s office to have restorative work done to keep the damage to a minimum.

But does it?

Sure, filling the holes in your teeth can stop that particular cavity from becoming heavily infected and creating even more issues down the road, but considering most dentists are still using amalgam fillings (comprised of approximately 50% mercury), the solution may be worse than the original problem.

Related: Mercury Fillings, Root Canals, Cavitations – What You Need to Know

For decades dentists have been using mercury based fillings to repair cavities. No one really cared to explore what the effects of an extremely noxious heavy metal placed directly into the mouth. Unfortunately many are now finding out it’s not good.

For example, following the initial exposure during the actual dental procedure, we now know that mercury fillings slowly leech mercury and mercury vapour, which can cause a multitude of symptoms related to the digestive system, nervous system, circulatory system, and reproductive system. It can damage the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and virtually every other organ in the body. It can also cause severe muscle and joint pain and lead to debilitating conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and multiple sclerosis.

Despite the overwhelming evidence that this experiment is slowly but surely ruining people’s health, many dental offices still endorse the use of mercury fillings, and worse, many people believe and trust their dentist who says they are safe enough to continue using!

As long as this mentality continues, humans will continue to serve as guinea pigs while we continue to learn how deadly mercury can be, especially when placed directly in the mouth.

Fluoridated Water

Sickeningly enough, water fluoridation began in the mid-1940’s as a solution to fluoride pollution created by the Atomic Bomb Program and the aluminum industry. Since this chemical waste had to be disposed of, it was placed in the water supply to dilute it then “sold” to dentists and the masses as a preventative to tooth decay.

I know! Mind blowing, right?

Related: What’s the Best Water for Detoxifying and For Drinking?

Even more ridiculous is the notion that this mass poisoning strategy has been heralded as one of the top 10 greatest public health achievements in the 20th century and is still in effect today despite overwhelming evidence that it not only doesn’t help with tooth decay, but can cause significant health problems.

Most are not even aware that fluoride is a drug that severely damages the brain and thyroid. With it being added to municipal water supplies that reach nearly 211 million Americans, it is quite possibly the most widespread concern of our time. As of 2012, more than 67% of Americans received fluoridated water, while most other countries ban its use.

So how can water authorities be allowed to add a drug that is known to cause health side effects directly into your drinking water?

Add this to the things that make you go “hmmmm”.

Chemotherapy

With toxins permeating our lifestyles at an increasing rate along with consumption of a nutrient and antioxidant deficient diet, diseases like cancer have risen exponentially over the last few decades. Well meaning charity events and researchers have drummed up millions of dollars to find a drug to put an end to this epidemic, but alas, it’s all for naught. We’ll never find a real cure by searching for a drug that uses the same toxic strategy that caused the illness.

Chemotherapy has been used for decades as the premiere cancer killing protocol, but few have fully realized that this “kill all” approach is akin to burning down your house when you find out you have a rat infestation. Certainly, it will get rid of the rats, but then you are left with nothing but rubble. Now you have to try and rebuild –  if you’ve survived the devastation of the fire itself.

To add insult to this widely accepted therapy, research has suggested that when chemotherapy damages healthy cells, they secrete a protein that actually accelerates the growth of cancer tumours! So now, not only have you destroyed your body and severely weakened your immune system, you are left with a new fight with nothing in your arsenal except more of the same poison that ruined your body in the first place.

With this treatment leaving a trail of dead participants and many others who can be akin to “the walking dead”, it is truly baffling that this experiment is still widely accepted and even honoured as the go-to treatment for those with cancer.

Vaccinations

The vaccine debate is one of the most hotly contested issues of our time, and it’s no surprise since it most commonly involves the lives of our precious children. This debate has many points and nuances to consider, and many of them are covered in the articles of Organic Lifestyle Magazine.

However, no matter how deep you want to go into this debate, it is impossible to ignore the fact that diseases such as autism have dramatically increased as the number of  vaccines given at an early age increased. This direct correlation is undeniable to anyone paying attention. The fact that as many as 44 chemicals, excipients, preservatives, and fillers have been identified (such as aluminum, animal tissues and organs, formaldehyde, gelatine, thimerosal, and MSG) as ingredients in vaccines, it makes a person wonder how anyone can believe these injections are risk free. These obnoxious ingredients are very problematic for a grown adult with a mature immune system to detoxify, let alone a newborn baby with a very delicate and developing immune system!

So how does the medical mafia respond to this risky situation? With more vaccines, of course! To the tune of 3-4 times more than we had 30 years ago. All this while we continue to ignore the lack of studies that support the effectiveness of vaccinations and outright refute research that shows that major declines in life-threatening disease we are being vaccinated for were already in major declines before these vaccination efforts.

Although the debate continues over the safety and efficacy of the current vaccine ingredients and schedule, those who have been directly affected and can read between the lines are seeing that this is the most dangerous experiment of our time because it directly affects the next generation (our children) and their ability to carry on healthy and productive lives. The fate of the human race is at stake here!

I suggest you do more research on all of these areas, and not just from “trusted” government and corporate sources. Use your common sense, open your mind, and dare to let logic infiltrate your brain. It just might save you from any future dangerous experiments planned for our already sickly human race.

Oh, and one last thing. If all these efforts are so brilliant, and these are in actuality beneficial practices, why is the population getting exponentially sicker and not better?

How to Detoxify From Chemotherapy and Repair the Body

This is not the easiest article for me to write, as I have seen many people cure cancer naturally. On the other hand, being diagnosed with cancer is so incredibly scary for someone and their family, and choices are made in haste.

Many times I’ve seen someone who believed in natural medicine, someone who swore they would never go the chemo route, get talked into chemotherapy by what I hope are well-meaning physicians and a terrified family. If you are considering chemotherapy while reading this, I urge you to, first and foremost, find out how much time you have before the situation is dire. In most cases, the person diagnosed with cancer has much more time to make a decision than the oncologist led him or her to believe. In fact, with many types of cancer, the average five to seven-year survival rate is decreased once chemotherapy is administered.

If you have undergone chemotherapy, the bad news is that chemotherapy is often more dangerous than the cancer itself. We’re not typically told this because of the immense profits involved. The good news is if you are very strict with your diet and you are not suffering from a host of other ailments that were brought on before the cancer diagnosis, you can detoxify the body and reverse most of the damage caused from the drugs.

Here’s the catch. Whatever you were doing that caused your body to develop cancer in the first place has to stop! Chemotherapy ravages the body, and nobody is more prone to cancer than someone who already had it and underwent chemotherapy. After detoxifying from chemo drugs, don’t just put all of your newfound knowledge about health aside; it’s time to live in a way that allows your body to continually detoxify. After all, your life depends on it. Your body just sent you that message loud and clear.

Juicing Tonic

Juice ginger, turmeric, cranberry, and lemon. Leave the peel on the ginger and turmeric. You will need two ounces of each juice. Each ingredient should be organic and whole and juiced immediately before it is consumed. Use a citrus juicer for the lemon. A juice press (slow juicer) is ideal for the other ingredients.

If you can’t find whole fresh cranberries, try to find pure, unpasteurized, unsweetened, organic cranberry juice. If you cannot find it (try your health food stores and your local farmer’s markets), get organic frozen cranberries. The last resort is pasteurized, organic, unsweetened cranberry juice that is not from concentrate. If you cannot find that, you’re not trying hard enough.

Add a little bit of fresh cracked pepper and a pinch of cayenne to your cup of juice. Drink it. Shot it down or sip, whatever you need to do, but know that once it gets down, the ginger will settle your stomach.

For the first few days you should be drinking two cups of this tonic a day. After that, if you find that you’re not terribly sick, you could move to just two or three ounces in the morning. If you suffer from serious nausea, then I recommend drinking the tonic regularly, sipping it throughout the day.

Cranberry Lemonade

Make a gallon of fresh, organic, cranberry lemonade with stevia every day. Drink as much as you can. The juice will filter the kidneys and keep them operating, help cleanse the liver, and help balance the pH. The water needs to be distilled, not spring. Spring water is wonderful, but this is the time for pure, ultra clean drinking water void of any potential contaminants. If you don’t like stevia, drink the lemonade without it, but do not use any other sweetener. Click here for the recipe.

Juicing

After chemotherapy, the body will have a very hard time digesting food, and juicing may be the best and possibly the only way to get enough nutrition into your body. If you are digesting food well enough I would skip the juicing.

I am not usually an advocate of regular juicing because juice is too sugary unless it’s just vegetable juice. Unfortunately, pure vegetable juice is not palatable to most, including me. Granny Smith apples, beets, and carrots are all high in sugar, but you can use just a little juice from these three sources to sweeten your vegetable juice – but just enough to get it down.

Liver Detox

Chemotherapy is incredibly toxic to the body. You must cleanse the body of all remaining chemicals.

Immune System

Echinacea, vitamin C, and vitamin D are three supplements that should be used to boost the immune system. Anyone, who has gone through chemotherapy, should consider these supplements.

Shillington’s Total Tonic will help boost the immune system and pull out heavy metals and other toxins from the body.

Shillington’s Total Tonic Recipe:  (or purchase here)

  • 1 Handful of Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Handful of chopped Onions
  • 1 Handful of chopped Ginger
  • 1 Handful of chopped Horseradish
  • 1/2 handful of chopped Habanero Peppers

Throw in a blender and cover with an inch or two of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.

Update: I like this Root Cider even better.

Candida

An unbalanced gut encourages an overgrowth of Candida. Candida leads to cancer (and almost every other disease and ailment of our modern era). Wormwood, a strong probiotic, oil of oregano, and undecylenic acid will keep the gut balanced and kill Candida.

Undecylenic acid, probiotics, oil of oregano, and salads (like these) repair the gut. Take oil of oregano separately from the probiotics, as the oil of oregano will kill beneficial bacteria. I recommend taking your probiotics at night, every night after other microbe-killing supplements and the last meal have been consumed.

Epsom Salts Baths

Epsom salts pull salt and toxins out of the body while the skin absorbs magnesium and sulfates. Magnesium is critical for enzymes, for oxygenation, muscle and nerve function, improving blood flow and reducing inflammation. Sulfates are building blocks for tissues, including nerve tissue.

To benefit the most from an Epsom salts bath, use the proper amount and soak for the required amount of time.

If you weigh 100 pounds, use one cup of Epsom salts. Use an additional ½ cup for each additional 50 pounds. For example, 101-150 pounds = 1 ½ cups. 151-200 pounds = 2 cups. 201-250 pounds =2 ½ cups. And so on.

Stay in the water for a full 40 minutes. The first 20 minutes pulls out toxins. The second 20 minutes absorbs magnesium and sulfates.

Hydrotherapy – Hot and Cold Showers

Hot water pulls blood to the skin’s surface. Cold water does the opposite, driving the blood from the surface to the core. Alternating hot and cold speeds up circulation, bringing fresh blood to the tissues along with oxygen and nutrients, while aiding the body in carrying away toxins.

For 20 minutes, alternate hot and cold. Start with water as hot as you can stand for two minutes then switch to as cold as you can stand for two minutes, and then switch again. This is a very powerful healing tool.

Nutrition

Nutrition is the basis of health. In order for us to be healthy and stay healthy, we must detox, ridding ourselves of toxins, parasites, and pathogens, and we must give our body all of the building blocks it needs to heal itself by eating an abundance of nutritionally dense, whole foods. That’s the foundation, and a good nutrition formula (make your own here) like this one should be included, but not substituted, for a healthy diet. You can put this into smoothies, juice, drink with just water (which is a bit hard to get down), or sprinkle it on salads. The following link has a recipe for salads and for the cranberry lemonade.

Do not eat processed foods. Never eat artificial flavors, colorings, preservatives, MSG, trans-fats, or GMOs. It is impossible to eliminate all of these harmful chemicals if you eat out at conventional restaurants. It is nearly impossible if you eat processed, prepackaged foods, even from the “health food section.” It is entirely possible – actually downright easy – if you simply eat whole, fresh, unadulterated, organic foods. Your diet should consist of 80% fresh, raw, organic produce, more vegetables than fruits.

You do this by eating an incredible salad once a day, a salad with 10-15 vegetables, including plenty of dark leafy greens. You eat fresh fruit a few times a day (unless you are already getting fresh fruit in a smoothie or through juicing), and you add nutritional powder to your daily regime.

Your goal is to choose the most nutrient dense foods with the fewest toxins. Along with avoiding all the additives to foods, eliminate sugar and caffeine. Also, add essential fatty acids (Organic Vegan EFA, krill oil, or flaxseed oil) to your diet.

Right now, you need to avoid meat. If you choose to eat meat in the future, choose organic meat. Remember, we eat at the top of the food chain.
