Herbs With Healing Properties You Can Grow at Home
Growing herbs in your home is not only easy, it is highly recommended. This is especially true if you are growing them for medicinal purposes. Although you can buy herbs, you won’t know how the plants were raised or how the herbs were stored. Nothing beats the quality of homegrown herbs.
It doesn’t really matter if you have expert gardening skills as herbs require nothing but basic knowledge and some free space. If you have a garden in your home, it is wise to reserve some of the available space there for herbal medicines, as they can truly help when you are feeling ill. The best part is that the following are all easy-to-grow and require very little in terms of care.
Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum)
The flavour of this plant is so unique, that people either hate it or love it. It is used in several Thai and Mexican dishes, but most notably in Indian curry. You can easily grow it in a moist, cool garden. Cilantro is a digestive aid and it also helps you detox heavy metals.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
The other name for Calendula is pot marigold. It is a powerful antiseptic and antifungal tool. Use the petals for wound care and soothing the skin. Numerous cosmetic products use the plant for its properties, which is proof of its quality. This annual blooms throughout the entire season and looks charming in an outdoor garden, where it can receive plenty of sun.
Peppermint (Mentha x piperita)
You are well-aware of the boost of freshness you get from peppermint flavoured toothpaste. Did you know that peppermint is also a very powerful ally against digestive discomfort (peppermint tea) and aching muscles (peppermint liquid/lotion)? You will do well to include this moist-loving plant in your garden. Just keep in mind that the leaves of the plant should be harvested before they flower or they will taste bitter.
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)
The main benefit of rosemary is its power to bring more oxygen to your brain for better memory. According to expert gardeners, this herb is the equivalent of caffeine. The best part is that the evergreen plant is very drought tolerant and will likely survive any environment.
Lavender (Lavandula)
According to some studies, lavender is not only a perfume plant, it may also be used to benefit the nervous system. Adding some lavender oil to your bath will most certainly reduce tension, stress, and even insomnia. In order to grow lavender, you will need to provide a dry environment that is hot and sunny.
You can benefit a lot from each of these herbs, especially if you have invested time and effort in growing them at home. Do consider all of the benefits, and plant them today. Be sure to check out Handy Gardeners’ Blog for more articles on gardening.
If you’re starting a detoxification protocol, there’s a lot you can do to improve the results. Many of these tips can also be used indefinitely to help your body detoxify all day, every day, without being on a detox protocol.
Lots of Water
If you’re not consuming enough water, you’re increasing the strain on your body and accelerating the aging process. Our bodies use water to remove toxins and other waste. You can even do better than just water with this recipe:
Cranberry Lemonade Recipe
For those who can tolerate stevia, this cranberry lemonade recipe can aid a detox by helping to flush toxins out of the kidneys, the liver, and the entire body while helping to balance the pH.
Glass gallon jar
Safe, clean, spring water or distilled water
1 cup of unsweetened, organic cranberry juice, not from concentrate
3 fresh, organic lemons
A citrus juicer
Liquid stevia
Liquid cayenne
Fill the jar to about 85% capacity with spring water (or distilled water). Squeeze the lemons and pour the juice into the water. Add cranberry juice. Add stevia to taste and then add cayenne to taste. The amount of cayenne used is up to you, but the more, the better.
If you don’t have access to a good source for spring water, use other clean, drinking water that does not contain fluoride. If you don’t have access to organic lemons, use conventional. Fresh is best. If there are no fresh lemons, use organic bottled lemon juice. If you can’t get cranberry juice that is not from concentrate, get the reconstituted kind (just don’t get any kind of cranberry juice that has any other ingredients like sweeteners or other juices). If you can’t stand cayenne, don’t use it. No glass jar? Use plastic.
Since it’s cranberry season again, if you have a blender, try whole cranberries instead of juicing them. You can also throw in some of the organic lemon peels, as much as you can stand to taste. (Only organic. Don’t use peels from conventional lemons.) It’s pretty sour, but it has lots of benefits.
If you have powdered cayenne and/or powdered stevia, I recommend using a blender to mix some of the liquid with the powders so they don’t settle later.
The lemon juice will help flush the liver. The cranberry juice will help flush the kidneys. If you drink a lot of it, every day, you will feel an amazing difference in your health and vitality. This recipe is a far better choice for most people than the Master Cleanse.
Juice Tonics
Sweet juices including most fruits, carrots, and beets may not be ideal when Candida or another fungus is an issue. On the other hand, herbs like turmeric and ginger can be juiced for amazing benefits.
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.
1 cup of warm coconut milk
1 tablespoon of freshly grated turmeric with skin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger with skin
1 pinch of black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Mix it all up and drink. For the drink to be warm, warm only the coconut milk, and 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 the enzymes and other fragile micronutrients.
Simmer in the Sauna
Our skin is our body’s largest detoxification organ. When most people think about detoxing they tend to focus on the liver and kidneys. But this is far from a complete protocol; there is a lot more we can do. We live in air-conditioned homes and drive air-conditioned cars. Although this is more comfortable than constant exposure to high temperatures, living like this robs us of opportunities to sweat out toxins as we normally have for millennia. When thinking about what is best for our health, air-conditioning may in fact be overrated. What’s even better than AC is getting a good blast of heat from time to time.
It’s better not to be in a sauna alone, especially if you aren’t used to them. It’s possible to pass out from the heat. If this happens when you’re alone, it could prove fatal if you aren’t discovered quickly enough.
Dry Heat Sauna
This is a great way to give our bodies the needed opportunity to sweat out harmful substances. This is the most popular sauna and the one most likely available to you at your gym. Sweat will evaporate off your body quickly and efficiently in a dry sauna. Many of these saunas are kept very hot, some as hot as 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Steam Room
Unfortunately steam rooms are breeding grounds for pathogens. Although someone can sweat a great deal in a steam room, they may not be worth the effort. Along with the steam other unwanted problems arise from chlorinated water, fungus and bacteria. Finding a clean steam room may be more trouble than it is worth.
Infrared Sauna
This is the best kind of sauna available. We sweat out more toxins in an infrared sauna than in other saunas. This is also a dry heat, so there aren’t problems associated with this kind of sauna like you would find in a steam room.
Hot and Cold Hydrotherapy
Many alternative health care practitioners believe one of the most effective treatments for a wide array of diseases and ailments is hot and cold hydrotherapy, but very few are willing to say it can help cure cancer and many other diseases.
Hot water increases blood flow to the surface of the body. Cold water drives the blood from the surface to the core of the body. Alternating hot and cold water increases blood flow and speeds up circulation. It brings fresh blood with oxygen and nutrients to the organs and glands and carries away toxins and pathogens. Dr. Shillington suggests starting with water as hot as you can stand for a minimum of two minutes. Then turn off the hot water for two minutes of cold—the colder the better. Alternate back and forth for a total of 20 minutes, ending with cold.
Exercise
Exercise that’s not too intense, depending on the detoxification protocol, can help flush the body by getting the blood pumping and the lymph moving. Lungs expel toxins as well.
Breathe Heavily and Properly
Most of us are rapid, shallow breathers. We raise our shoulders, pull in our diaphragm, and take a breath that fills only the top portion of our lungs.
When you breathe properly, your diaphragm, your stomach, and your ribcage expand, not the pectoral area. Fully exhaling is important, too. Remember, you are breathing in oxygen rich air and releasing carbon dioxide and toxins.
When you expand your ribcage and breath deeply, you increase the body’s natural detoxification through the lungs. This is not insignificant; 80% of our toxins are eliminated through our breath.
Sweat
Another 20% of our toxins are released through the skin. If you are working out hard enough to break a sweat, you’re also helping to drain the lymphatic system. This system detoxifies under a bouncing or up and down jarring of the body, like running, martial arts, rebounding, dancing, and…
Squats
In addition to helping clear the lymphatic system (especially when done quickly, or with jumping variations), squats add and release pressure onto the elimination organs such as the liver, kidneys, and the intestinal tract. Don’t underestimate the power of squats. We used to squat all the time in nature. In fact, once you couldn’t squat back in the paleo days you didn’t have long to live. We squatted while we were outside tending to the garden, while we were hunting and tracking, while we were just relaxing but trying to stay out of sight from other predators, and every time we defecated.
Get Enough Quality Sleep
Most adults in our modern society do not get enough quality sleep, even if they do sleep a full eight hours. If you find yourself waking up regularly, having trouble getting to sleep, or just feeling tired and drained in the morning, it could be caused by a lack of deep, restorative REM sleep.
Could Your Mattress and Bedding be a Problem?
What do you know about your mattress? If it isn’t organic, it includes chemicals. If it isn’t relatively new, it contains flame retardants – nasty endocrine disrupting chemicals. If this is the case, your mattress and your bedding could be adding to your toxic load, effectively undoing much of your efforts at detoxifying during the day.
Coffee & Stimulants
Coffee is almost a spiritual experience for many people, a daily ritual that may help you be more awake and alert during the day, but you pay the price in less restful sleep at night. Once a tolerance to coffee is built up, it doesn’t even help you be more alert during the day, and it still interferes with the quality of your sleep.
Most people will not give up their coffee habits until their cup is pried from their cold dead hands, but as much as we try to find health benefits with coffee it causes us more harm than good. Caffeine wears out our thyroid and adrenal gland, which disrupts our whole endocrine system (our hormone system) which effects our energy levels throughout the day and our ability to sleep.
The same is true for other drugs and not just stimulants. For instance, marijuana helps people fall sleep, but it does reduce REM sleep, disrupting the quality of sleep.
Other Causes of Poor Sleep
Lighting and Wi-Fi can disrupt REM sleep, too. Make sure all lights are off or covered, including tiny blinking lights on phones and other electronics, and turn off signal producing electronics, too. You may also benefit from moving your bed a foot away from the wall to reduce the amount of EMFs your body encounters throughout the night.
Manage Your Stress
Yoga, meditation, and deep breathing are great stress relievers, and so are other forms of fitness, but stress can be very difficult to handle if the endocrine system is not optimally functioning. Getting beneficial bacteria in the gut, and flushing the body with lots of cranberry lemonade can help.
Detox Tea
Detoxifying the blood and boosting the liver’s ability to do its job are of paramount importance. Here are some well-known formulas that you can make yourself at home. Make sure all of the ingredients are organic and/or wildcrafted and of the highest quality.
Use the exact same herbs as above in exactly the same proportions and make as a decoction only. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 15 minutes, then drink.
You can detoxify without fasting. A large, diverse salad can help you do that. I have a huge salad every day without at least 15 different vegetables and herbs in it. Here’s a list of my salad ingredients:
Spinach
Arugula
Collard Greens
Spring mix
Leeks
Red onions
Red cabbage
Red bell pepper
Rainbow chard
Beet greens
Grated beetroot
Grated carrots
Grated zucchini
Cucumbers
Cilantro
Pomegranate (seed)
Raisins
Sesame seeds
Ground papaya seeds
Avocado
Fresh, organic, raw produce helps draw out toxins in the body. Beets detoxify the blood, cilantro and garlic draw out heavy metals, raw vegetables feed the healthiest bacteria in our gut, and I could go on and on. I don’t recommend fasting to get well unless digesting food is too difficult. Most people are better off eating salads while they detoxify.
Grounding
Our bodies are a living matrix of energetically charged biochemical circuits that are charged and coordinated through the activity of the central nervous system. The Earth itself is regulated by subtle but dynamic electrical circuits. The electrical crosstalk between the Earth and our central nervous system helps to program trillions of biochemical reactions.
The Earth’s electrical rhythms play a significant role in the natural circadian rhythms that govern our sleep/wake cycle, hormones, mood, and energy production. Studies of people fully disconnected from this natural electrical rhythm have shown abnormal circulating cortisol levels indicating abnormal stress responses. Additionally, disconnected people often struggle with issues such as insomnia, hormone disruption, chronic pain, headaches, and fatigue among other things.
Niacin
Niacin (B3) is an inexpensive way to boost the efficacy of a detox. Most doctors recommend starting with 100 mg. I weigh 220 pounds and I took 1,500 mg for three days. Don’t take it for more than a few days. Drink lots of fluid (like the cranberry lemonade) and sweat out the toxins. Niacin won’t do you much good if you aren’t flushing out the junk while you do it. It’s powerful. You’ll be itchy, hot, and flush red all over. The effects last about an hour. Most people without damaged seriously livers can easily handle 500 mg for a few days, but some suggest to start with as little as 25mg and build your way up. Don’t take any one B vitamin for long without taking the whole complex.
Conclusion
A cleanse or detox is a wonderful way to aid your immune system in eliminating waste, debris, pathogens, and parasites from the body. A healthy body is always eliminating these toxins as fast as needed to stay healthy, but in our modern chemically laden lifestyle the body’s natural detoxification pathways can get overwhelmed. Many of the aforementioned protocols can be utilized to support a healthy lifestyle at any time, regardless of whether or not you’re “on a detox.” The most important aspect of a good detox for most people is eliminating excess candida and balancing gut flora. Also check out this Shillington’s Protocol if you need a thorough, full body detox.
Detox Cheap and Easy Without Fasting – Recipes Included
This is more than a detox article. This is a lifestyle article. If you want to be disease free, vibrant, and truly healthy, it’s time to develop continuous detoxification habits that you do daily.
A very thorough detox can be expensive and challenging to complete. Some people who are very sick, or otherwise very toxic, need this kind of detoxification protocol, but most don’t, and most cannot afford to spend hundreds, or even thousands of dollars on supplements. The good news is that with the right habits, anyone can detoxify all the time without doing a “detox” that takes up all of your time, energy, and money.
The trick to detoxifying without fasting is to eat foods that help you to detoxify the body, and to drink plenty of water. Even better than water, here’s a recipe to kick off your detoxification protocol.
1 cup of unsweetened, organic cranberry juice, not from concentrate
3 organic fresh lemons
A citrus juicer
Liquid stevia
Liquid cayenne
Fill the jar to about 85% capacity with spring water (or distilled water). Squeeze the lemons and pour the juice into the water. Add cranberry juice. Add stevia to taste and then add cayenne to taste. The amount of cayenne used is up to you, but the more the better.
If you don’t have access to a good source for spring water, use other clean, drinking water that does not contain fluoride. If you don’t have access to organic lemons, use conventional. Fresh is best. If there are no fresh lemons, use organic bottled lemon juice. If you can’t get cranberry juice that is not from concentrate, get the reconstituted kind (just don’t get any kind of cranberry juice that has any other ingredients like sweeteners or other juices). If you can’t stand cayenne, don’t use it. No glass jar? Use plastic.
Since it’s cranberry season again, if you have a blender, try whole cranberries instead of juicing them. You can also throw in some of the organic lemon peels, as much as you can stand to taste. (Only organic. Don’t use peels from conventional lemons.) It’s pretty sour, but it has lots of benefits.
If you have powdered cayenne and/or powdered stevia, I recommend using a blender to mix some of the liquid with the powders so they don’t settle later.
The lemon juice will help flush the liver. The cranberry juice will help flush the kidneys. If you drink a lot of it, every day, you will feel an amazing difference in your health and vitality. This recipe is a far better choice for most people than the Master Cleanse.
Salad Recipe That Detoxifies
Produce detoxifies. Fresh, whole, raw vegetables, herbs, and fruits pull toxins from the body, repopulate healthy, beneficial gut bacteria, and give the body the nutrients it needs including enzymes and other phytonutrients that are almost non-existent in most modern diets.
Try to eat a huge salad every day with lots of greens, plenty of other colors, garlic, cilantro, ginger, and more. Check out this salad recipe.
The Salad Base
Spinach
Arugula (I prefer baby arugula, mature arugula tastes funky)
Collard Greens (they’re very bitter; use sparingly)
Lettuce (mix it up, try an organic spring mix)
Kale
Beet greens (the tops of beets)
Red cabbage (thinly shred like a slaw or a little thicker, depending on the texture you prefer)
It’s not an exact recipe, and it doesn’t have to be. Mix it up. Try new things. My salads generally have about 15 ingredients. Make them big; make them diverse. Just imagine you’re in nature, not modern society, and all you have to eat is nothing but a wide variety of the best, whole, fresh, healthy vegetables and herbs. This is what a big salad a day can do for you: it’s life changing.
I throw in chick peas or a three-bean salad combination. If you’re not vegan, try a sheep feta cheese with this salad, and throw on some eggs. It’s good with meat, too, like chicken or steak.
Don’t ruin it with a crappy salad dressing! All this salad needs is a little balsamic vinegar (apple cider is better, but I don’t like the taste as much in my salads), or some fresh lemon juice or something. It doesn’t take much.
Daily Habits for Constant Detoxification
Breathe in deeply, fully and properly
Eat a big salad every day (I make seven every Sunday)
Drink lots of cranberry lemonade every day
Bodyweight squats every day.
That last one is more important than you may think. We expel more toxins through our skin and breathing than we do through bowel movements and urination. Get up, sweat, get your heart rate going, and breathe! I recommend bodyweight squats because it’s an important movement in nature (we used to squat a lot!), and it helps detoxify the body as you do them. Practice good form of course, and build up slowly. Start with 20, take a day off, but get up to 100 a day.
Imagine that. 100 squats, a big huge salad, and a gallon (or so) of cranberry lemonade every day. If you can do it, you will reverse and set back disease for many years and feel amazing. When you are detoxifying, stick with the salads, squats, and lemonade. When you’re not, just fill in the rest of your diet with unprocessed, whole foods (organic whenever possible) and you’ll be healthier than anyone you know.
That’s pretty much my secret to good health. I make an 11 cup salad every day, I drink a gallon of cranberry lemonade every day, and I do squats. Sometimes I juice, but it’s done with lots of turmeric and ginger, and it’s not very sweet. I do enjoy an ultra healthy smoothie, and I put in lots of “superfoods” (I kinda hate that phrase, but, oh well), with Total Nutrition Formula.
When I need to go through a serious detox, I typically throw in SF722, Blood Detox, and some probiotics.
3 Essential Oil Techniques That Will Maximize Your Detox Cleanse
Even if you avoid junk food and eat organic to avoid harmful pesticides and herbicides, it’s becoming harder to avoid chemical exposure in today’s environment. One of the best ways to stay healthy is to regularly detoxify the body through natural means. ‘
We all know that there are several ways to detox naturally, but if you are planning to detox quickly and effectively, try adding essential oils to your detox regimen. Apart from several other health and therapeutic benefits, essential oils are very effective. They not only make you feel energetic, they will help you maximize your results.
Here is the list of top four essential oils that are proven to aid in detoxification. Later on in this article, we will address the ways to use these essential oils for detox purposes.
Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil is one of the most popular oils and contains tons of benefits. It has a soothing effect and is known to have positive effects on the digestive system. This oil contains properties that improve digestion and cleanses toxins in the body. Apart from being used individually, peppermint oil can be blended with the other detoxifying agents to increase the effectiveness of your detox. In all, peppermint oil is an important detoxification agent that you can’t afford to skip.
Grapefruit Oil
Grapefruit oil is known to possess antifungal properties. Grapefruit effectively destroys harmful viruses and bacteria that may cause severe health problems. In terms of cleansing, this oil effectively detoxifies the liver, stomach, and urinary tract. Another benefit worth mentioning is that it helps immensely when experiencing bloating.
Laurel Oil
Extracted from the laurel leaf, this oil plays an important role in detoxifying your body by improving the digestion system. Laurel essential oil will optimize the immune system and detoxification system so that they’re working effectively.
Lemon Oil
Known as one of the best body cleanser available in nature, lemon oil not only removes the impurities from the body, but also prevents severe diseases such as cancer by removing existing toxins. You can use it individually or as an additional agent for proper detoxification.
Some other amazing oils worth mentioning for performing a detox include Juniper Berry, Rosemary, Mandarin, Patchouli, Hyssop, and Helichrysum.
3 Ways To Implement Essential Oils In Your Detox
Topical Application
Applying essential oils directly on your skin is a powerful detoxification technique. Before applying essential oils to your skin, we recommend that you dilute the oil with a carrier oil. The purpose behind this is because they may be too potent for your skin and may cause sensitivity. A good ratio is 3 drops of essential oil to 1 teaspoon of carrier oil.
Aromatherapy
You may have heard of this technique before, but to put it plainly, you can achieve optimal detox results just by inhaling the aroma of essential oils. Simply place 1-2 drops of oil on the palm of your hands, rub them together, cup your hands to your nose and inhale the aroma by taking deep breaths.
Baths
Taking baths filled with herbs is a popular technique for performing detoxes. This is my favorite way of implementing essential oils because it allows you to submerge your entire body in oils. The effects behind this are not only cleansing to the body, but also physically, emotionally, and mentally therapeutic.
Place about 10-20 drops of your chosen essential oils in a warm bath. Be sure to get in the tub as quickly as you can because the oils tend to evaporate quickly. Also, we recommend that you do not submerge your head under water as essential oils should stay away from your eyes.
Conclusion
Essential oils have been tried and tested throughout the world for centuries and have shown great results. They are one of the most organic, effective, and fast-acting solutions for hundreds of health ailments. By implementing essential oils in your detox, you will experience more energy, an amazing cleanse, and maximum results.

Have you ever had a sneaky suspicion that you would feel a lot better and probably lose quite a bit of weight if you could just quit eating so much sugar?
Do you feel frustrated because you constantly think about food and crave sugary snacks?
Have you gotten to the point where your desire to feel better is outweighing the relative ease of staying the same?
In my experience, when people decide once and for all to eliminate sugar from their diet, they usually start to freak out about how hard it’s going to be. It is easier if you have a strong, compelling reason to step outside of your comfort zone!
If you are considering a sugar detox, you are probably struggling with one of the following:
You have pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes (90% of Americans have not been diagnosed)
You have belly fat that you would like to lose
You are overweight and low-energy
You always crave sugar and carbs
You have trouble losing weight on conventional diets
You eat when you’re not hungry
You get withdrawal symptoms if you cut down or stop eating sugar or flour
If any of these sound like you, what follows is a comprehensive guide to your sugar detox. I highly recommend you detox for a full 10 days.
1. Make a decision to detox
There are lots of other symptoms you may be dealing with including bloating, gas, reflux, irritable bowel, joint or muscle pain, brain fog, memory or mood problems, sinus or allergy symptoms, and more. You know intuitively that these conditions are not normal and are somehow tied to sugar consumption, so by choosing to detox from sugar, you are making a decision to feel healthy and happy!
2. The Tried and True Turkey Approach
The tried and true turkey is cold turkey. You have to go all the way. There honestly is no half-way for this one if you want to reset your body’s neurotransmitters and hormones.
Sugar, as we know, is highly addictive and lights up the same centers for pleasure in your brain as cocaine and other drugs. It’s a sugar “detox” for a reason! Stop consuming all forms of sugar, flour products, and artificial sweeteners, which cause increased cravings and slow metabolism and lead to fat storage. Ideally, for 10 days, you avoid any food that comes in a box, can, or package, and any food that has a label. Stick to real, whole, fresh food.
3. Detox your Drinks
We forget that juices, sports drinks, and sweetened teas are just as bad as solid food with sugar or flour. In fact, when we drink sugary sodas and juices all that glucose goes very quickly into your bloodstream, raises your blood sugar, causes your body to release insulin, and ultimately begins the cycle that leads to belly fat and high triglyceride levels! Stats: a 20-ounce soda has 15 teaspoons of sugar; Gatorade contains 14 teaspoons of sugar in one bottle.
4. Protein Power
Lean, clean protein at every meal, especially at breakfast, works wonders for balancing blood sugar and insulin and cutting cravings. Traditional breakfasts based on pancakes, waffles, cereal, and fruit are not part of this equation. You are better off with whole eggs in an omelette with veggies, or even a high-quality protein shake. You will have to plan ahead so you can have nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, chicken, or grass-fed meat on hand for protein at every meal.
5. Eat Green Carbs
Did you know that vegetables are carbs? You get to eat as much as you want. Yep, unlimited green carbs … non-starchy veggies such as kale or dandelion greens, anything in the broccoli family (cauliflower, kale, collards), asparagus, green beans, mushrooms, onions, zucchini, tomatoes, fennel, eggplant, artichokes, and peppers, to name a few. Go sparingly with things like sweet potatoes and beets.
6. Fat is Your Friend
I’ve said this about a million times, but here I go again. Fat doesn’t make you fat, extra calories and too much sugar does. Fat makes you feel satiated, helps balance your blood sugar, and is necessary for healthy hormone production. Along with protein, I encourage you to include good fats at every meal or snack. Sources of good fats include nuts and seeds (which also contain protein), extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, and omega-3 fats from fish.
7. Be prepared for the 911
To set yourself up for success you need to think ahead and avoid a food emergency when your blood sugar is dropping and you find yourself in a food desert such as an airport, the office, or a maze of convenience stores, fast food joints, and vending machines. You will need to pack yourself a collection of good snacks that will rescue you when things look grim. Look for things like:
Justin nut butters that come in single serve packets
Almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds in ziplock bags
Salmon jerky or turkey jerky
Fresh fruit or veggies
8. Stress Less
There is a direct link between stress and the hormone cortisol. When you are stressed, your cortisol levels go up. This makes you hungry, initiates that belly fat storage pattern, and leads to type-2 diabetes. The trick here is to be aware that you are feeling stressed out and learn to PAUSE.
Breathe.
Breathe deeply.
Studies show that taking deep breaths activates a special nerve, called the vagus nerve, that shifts your metabolism from fat storage to fat burning and quickly moves you out of the stress state. All you have to do is take a deep breath.
9. Don’t Fuel the Flames
Food allergies and stress can cause inflammation which in turn triggers blood sugar imbalances, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and type-2 diabetes. The most common sources of inflammatory foods are sugar, flour, trans fats, gluten, and dairy. We often crave the foods we’re allergic to. This might be the perfect time for you to eliminate gluten and dairy for 10 days. Getting off them isn’t easy, but after just 2 or 3 days without them, you’ll have renewed energy, relief from cravings, and will see many of your common symptoms disappear.
10. Sleep it off
Have you ever experienced not being able to lose weight, being stuck on a plateau even though you’ve been doing all the right things, and then all of a sudden you take a couple days off and get plenty of sleep only to find you lost 5 pounds overnight? Sleep is exactly what you need for your body to heal, to reset hormones, and to decrease stress and inflammation. Let’s be honest, most of us are not getting enough sleep. Without the recommended eight hours of sleep, you experience a rise in hunger hormones, a decrease in appetite-suppressing hormones, and big cravings for sugar and refined carbs. You literally can sleep your cravings and your weight away.
How To Detoxify and Heal From Vaccinations – For Adults and Children
Detoxing from vaccines is a process without a definite timeline. Think of it as an ongoing journey. Toxin accumulation, especially heavy metals like mercury, can take a long time to remove from the body. Vaccine toxins can be cumulative, building up with each vaccination, adding to the toxin load we acquire from the enormous amount of environmental toxins we encounter every day.
If you’ve been vaccinated and suffer from serious vaccination damage, you’re best off living a lifestyle that promotes detoxification for the rest of your life. The truth is, you may never be able to dispel all of the toxins that have caused the damage. Living the healthiest possible lifestyle may be your only way to live symptom-free. But then again, to one degree or another, this is true for everyone.
Clearing the vaccine injury with naturopathic and homeopathic remedies is an option. The time between the beginning of the protocol and full recovery is dependent on the severity of the damage, the length of time the damage has been severe, and the amount of suppressive therapy that was administered (pharmaceuticals). All pharmaceuticals will need to be flushed from the body, and the damage they caused must be healed as well.
While some can often recover from a vaccine injury in a matter of weeks or months, detoxifying and repairing the body can take years if the damage is severe (brain damage) or the protocol and diet are not strictly followed, (for example, children who refuse to eat raw vegetables.)
Ingredients That Need To Be Detoxified and Why
Ingredients and derived-from ingredients include, thimerosal (yes, there are plenty of vaccines that still contain mercury), aluminum (some say it’s even worse than thimerosal), MSG, GMOs, and human DNA, Every single vaccine is toxic, and many ingredients are known carcinogens or neurotoxins. Vaccines are toxic by nature; the vaccine is designed to excite the immune system. In fact, every single ingredient in vaccines is toxic in one way or another.
Consider that the preservatives are designed to kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms. That’s what preservatives do. But vaccines need to do this while preserving the antigen. So we’ve got an antigen, which of course is toxic to the body, and we have a preservative, which is generally very heavy and very toxic that is designed to kill organisms, and we have ingredients designed to cause damage so that the immune system is aroused. It doesn’t take a scientist to understand how damaging this can be to the body, especially when repeated over and over.
An individual’s reaction to a vaccine is often similar to how the body would react to the natural disease
Some of the damage is due to the sheer accumulation of toxins, some of the damage is due to the immune response, some of the damage is due to dumb luck of where the toxins settle within the body. It should be noted that these toxins can shift at any time, which is why vaccine injuries can occur days, weeks, and even years after the actual vaccination.
A person who would willingly administer or receive an immunization is a person who does not fully understand the importance of microbes in our biology, how the immune system and natural selection works, and how toxins affect biology.
We’ve got formaldehyde (a probable human carcinogen), mercury (a neurotoxin and the second most toxic substance known to man), aluminum (a known neurotoxin, 75% of which is retained in a newborn and up to 40% in an adult, stored in the kidneys, spleen, liver, heart, brain, lymph nodes, and muscle), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (a hazardous substance), MSG (a neurotoxin), 2-Phenoxyethoanol (a hazardous toxin), and polysorbate 80 (a toxin associated with serious adverse effects including death), and this list is not complete.
Many of these toxins are synergistically toxic, for instance thimerosal’s toxicity is multiplied by the presence of aluminum, and some antibiotics. You can have harmful reactions with your immunizations from past vaccines.
Even if each and every vaccine were to be proven safe and effective despite its toxic ingredients, no one knows how much damage is done by combining multiple vaccines.
What Damage Is Caused By Vaccines
An individual’s reaction to a vaccine is often similar to how the body would react to the natural disease. In most cases, those most susceptible to vaccine damage are those with a compromised immune system – the same individuals who would suffer the most damage from the natural disease if they contracted it.
Generally, the healthier the individual is prior to the shot, the less severe the reaction. The directions in the package insert (package inserts that provide medical directions to the doctors and information for the patients) specifically say not to vaccinate a sick child. Vaccinating sick children and adults dramatically increases the risk of an adverse reaction.
Minor vaccine damage typically includes fevers, ear infections, sinus infections, diarrhea, and other similar symptoms. This is the body’s attempt to discharge the vaccine matter. Often these reactions are suppressed with antibiotics and other drugs. When antibiotics are given, the gut becomes diseased with fungi and antibiotic resistant pathogenic microbes. Vaccine ingredients alone can still cause diseased intestines due to their powerful antimicrobial nature.
…if you think vaccines are “perfectly safe” or “healthy” you do not understand health…
Many vaccine ingredients linger in the body, especially the viruses. Vaccines are cocktails of preservatives, pathogens, and adjuvants. Adjuvants are intended to stimulate your immune response to the vaccine-introduced pathogens, and they do stimulate your immune system successfully, but they destroy tissues in the process. Mercury and aluminum are used as adjuvants and preservatives, so this is a case where the treatment for the disease (the vaccine) can be worse than the disease.
It should be easy to understand now why the majority of vaccine toxins will have to be expelled from the body before the body can quit reacting to the disease the vaccine was intended to protect against.
Vaccine ingredients can also cause severe allergic reactions to certain proteins that have been injected into the body, creating an immediate allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or a food sensitivity like a peanut or egg allergy. The body will not stop reacting to the allergens until the body has expelled the vaccine ingredients and has been returned to full health.
Vaccines severely distort the balance of minerals in the body, which causes vitamin and other nutrient imbalances as well. This leads to a weakened endocrine system, which causes hormonal imbalances and poor brain function, along with fatigue. Eventually, if the gut is not healed, the body will deteriorate into an autoimmune state. (Sometimes this happens very quickly and other times very slowly.) Almost all disease is based on inflammation. Vaccines are designed to cause an immune response, which causes inflammation. Until the vaccine ingredients are expelled from the body, the body is in a constant inflammatory state. It’s no wonder multiple sclerosis, cancer, fibromyalgia, lupus, diabetes, and so many other autoimmune diseases can be tied back to vaccinations.
Understanding basic biology, how cells function, and what just a few of the vaccine ingredients do (as proven by science), one can only conclude that vaccines are toxic to the body. Again, if you think vaccines are “perfectly safe” or “healthy” you do not understand health, and consequently it will be much more difficult to get well.
Other common vaccine damage symptoms include, but are not limited to, anaphylaxis, fever, convulsions, coughs that do not resolve, cramps, decomposition of the blood, developmental delays, degenerative conditions, acne, ADD, ADHD, food allergies, seasonal and environmental allergies, Asperger’s, asthma, autism, cavities, colds and flus (often times ongoing), confusion and disorientation, digestive problems, diphtheria, ear infections, eczema, emaciation, epilepsy, eruptions, head banging, behavioral problems, cancer, headaches, hepatitis, hives, inability to eat various foods, inability to focus, insomnia, learning disorders, liver and kidney problems, measles, neurological deficits, polio, repetitive illnesses, meningitis, multiple sclerosis, neuralgias, restlessness, rheumatic conditions, septicemia, shingles, shock, SIDS, skin eruptions, sleeping all the time, sleeplessness, tendency to get sick, tics, violent outbursts, and warts.
The reason vaccines cause damage and the body can react with so many different diseases and ailments is that vaccines aggravate the immune system and the vaccine toxins build up; they do not easily dissipate.
Pre-Vaccine – Maximize the Safety of Vaccinations
If a vaccination is being forced on you, do not agree to pay for it and do not sign any kind of release or consent form. If you are about to choose to vaccinate or you feel the risks are better than the consequences (loss of job, CPS, vaccine mandate laws), you can minimize the risk by detoxifying the body of heavy metals, strengthening the immune system, and ensuring the gut flora is balanced and healthy. This can all be done by starting the detox protocol a couple of weeks before the vaccine is to be administered.
On the day of the vaccination, take an ice pack with you. Apply it to the injection site immediately after receiving the shot to lessen the immune response.
Vaccine Detoxification Protocol(s) For Adults
The first step is to eat right. Eating the right kind of foods promotes constant, proper, gentle, healthy detoxification. We also recommend supplements from Green Lifestyle Market. For Shillington’s products, we give recipes so that you can make these products yourself (check the bottom of this article). If you’re choosing to use a product from another brand for the purpose of use in this protocol, make sure the ingredients are clean and potent! There’s a lot of junk out there, so shop carefully.
Some of our favorite brands include Shillington’s Organic Solutions, Wise Woman Herbals, Gaia Herbs, Thorne, Progressive Labs, Pure Encapsulations, Douglas Labs, Standard Process, Allergy Research Group, and Professional Complementary Health Formulas. Green Lifestyle Market sells most of these brands, but not all. With Shillington’s products, we also give the recipe whenever possible so you can make the tinctures, teas, and other formulas yourself.
This is not a specific protocol, and natural medicine does not have to be an exact science. Some people will see more benefit from one aspect of the program than another. But it’s important to get the diet right. Don’t eat crap and expect to get well. It does not work that way. For detoxing and for healing, the diet is far more important than the supplements. In fact, most people who suffer from a vaccine injury could heal fully with only the diet and lemonade recipe and no supplementation though it would take longer, and will vary depending on the severity of the injury. And while supplementation without diet can reduce and even reverse some symptoms, it takes much longer, and the person will not get to a place of vitality and well-being.
Eat to Detoxify
Fruits and vegetables all have some form of detoxification properties. The only problem with fruit is its high sugar content. When someone’s gut is damaged, sugar can promote Candida overgrowth. So, if Candida symptoms exist, fruit should be severely limited and eaten with anti-fungal supplements.
Vegetables should be varied and plentiful. Eat a large salad every day with lots of different vegetables. Try introducing new vegetables and fresh herbs into your salads each shopping trip. Food has synergistic properties, and this is especially true for vegetables (and fruits that are known as vegetables, too).
A healthy diet consists of a minimum of 80% raw fresh produce with many more vegetables than fruits. Add herbs into your cooking like garlic, oregano, cinnamon, turmeric, and other spices and herbs with amazing health benefits. Try to find the whole herbs, like turmeric and ginger root and cinnamon bark, as opposed to the powdered versions. Your food will taste much better, and your body will feel the difference, too. Cilantro (coriander), garlic, and parsley are well known for their ability to chelate metals and they have many benefits including huge immune system boosting properties.
Eliminate refined foods, smoking, (including marijuana), and limit or eliminate anything else that can introduce heavy metals and other toxins to your body. This, unfortunately, can include rice and many kinds of fish. These are normally fine foods for health, but they are too often contaminated with heavy metals. If you do eat rice or fish, do your research and find the brands that have been proven clean (arsenic in rice) and the fish with the lowest contamination (mercury). Avoid root vegetables and herbs that are not grown in clean soil. This means choosing organic vegetables and avoiding all vegetables grown in China! The majority of garlic sold in the U.S. is grown in China and it is often highly toxic.
Eat lots of vegetables rich in sulfur compounds like, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, broccoli, onions, shallots, garlic, and leeks.
A Gallon a Day
Here’s what you’ll need for cranberry lemonade:
Glass gallon jar
14 cups (almost a gallon) of safe, clean, spring water or distilled water
1 cup of organic cranberry juice, not from concentrate
3 organic fresh lemons – juice them
A citrus juicer
Liquid stevia – to taste
Liquid cayenne – to taste
Most people should drink a gallon a day. Some people cannot due to health issues or due to their smaller size, but regardless, you can drink a lot of it, and it will help flush and cleanse the whole body. There are many benefits to this recipe, but make sure you use healthy, organic ingredients and safe, clean drinking water.
Balance and Heal the Intestinal Tract
Maintain one bowel movement for each meal or at least two to three movements per day. If this is difficult, Shillington’s Intestinal Cleanse, or a product of similar formula with high-quality ingredients should be taken. Bowel movements, for most people, will come with ease shortly after adopting the aforementioned diet high in produce. Anyone who has trouble eliminating after a few days on this diet or who has any digestive issues, Candida overgrowth symptoms, or any likelihood of “leaky gut” will also benefit from Shillington’s Intestinal Cleanse.
Links for all recommended products, where to buy and how to make, and for more information for those with specific ailments, are also listed below the article.
If bowel movements did not come easily, especially for anyone who eats raw produce and other fiber rich foods, hypothyroidism may be a problem. It is very common for mercury to affect the thyroid. If your thyroid function is fine, the next likely reason for difficult bowel movements with a proper diet is a magnesium deficiency. (This deficiency is likely to correct itself with a proper diet.)
Wellness does not happen without balanced intestinal flora. Taking a probiotic and supplementation known to kill Candida and other yeast (SF722), can balance the flora. The intestinal cleanse also balances and kills Candida and other parasites. Any probiotic should be formulated or encapsulated to pass through stomach acid alive.
Get as much rest and sleep as your body needs. During detoxification, many people need more than the typically recommended 8 hours of sleep.
Other Recommended Detoxifying Supplements
The proper diet is by far the most important aspect of health, healing, and detoxification. In cases where damage is severe or you really just want to boost or speed up the process, supplements can help you detoxify. Supplements are not, and never will be, a substitute for the right diet. They are a supplementation to the right diet and nothing more. In fact, they don’t work well with a poor diet.
Niacin, charcoal, vitamin C, spirulina, chlorella, diatomaceous earth, edible earth clays, and beneficial fats and other nutrients and herbs can radically accelerate the detoxification process when they accompany a healthy diet.
Flushing with Niacin.
Niacin, otherwise known as B3, is a very inexpensive way to boost the efficacy of a detox. You want the flush kind, not the “no flush.” Doctors usually recommend starting with 100 mg, but up to 5,000 a day has been used for serious drug detoxification and other urgent detox needs (such as chemical poisoning).
Don’t take niacin for too long. Taking any one single B vitamin for a long time causes an imbalance or deficiency of other B vitamins. Long term, high dose use of B3 can also damage the liver.
Take it in the morning. In 30 to 45 minutes when it kicks in, exercise or do the sauna. Try some hot tea. Drink lots of fluids (like the cranberry lemonade) and sweat out the toxins. Niacin won’t do you much good if you aren’t flushing out the junk while you do it. It’s powerful. You’ll be itchy, hot, and flushed red all over. Most people without seriously damaged livers can easily handle 500 mg for a few days. The effects last about an hour.
Perhaps 15 – 25 mg would keep first timers from screaming bloody murder, and allow for a more gentle, beneficial experience.
A word about the process might also be appropriate, as in the patients where I worked for seven years did not appear to have a clue about how to best utilize this vitamin as a cleanse. (Take a small amount to start, if no effects, i.e., the flush, observed, up the dose by the same increments, until it occurs. Then stay at that dose until no more effects felt, followed by upping the dose until next flush. Maintain until no more effect, then up the third time, repeating this process. Three times through should then be put on hold for weeks to a month or two depending upon health status, before starting again.) Hopefully, a side note or a foot note, will save beginners that pain and frustration from overdosing the first time around, i.e., a simple word of strong caution. This note of concern is from one who has used this cleanse for many decades, as well as assisting others through the process.” – Richard
Detox With Food Grade Activated Charcoal
Food grade activated charcoal is derived from burning pure, untainted organic substances such as coconuts or certain woods without using toxic chemicals in the process. Charcoal forms a chemical bond with heavy metals and many other toxins and is easily flushed from the body.
The action of activated charcoal involves adsorption, not absorption of toxins. Adsorption is the electrical attraction of toxins and heavy metals, but not beneficial nutrients, to the surfaces of the fine charcoal particles. This is more of a chelation process. The charcoal itself is not absorbed into the body, so the toxins attached to the charcoal particles exit via the bowels. Don’t be surprised by black stools.” – Natural Society
For vitamin C, spirulina, and chlorella, Dr. Shillington has developed a nutrition formula. It contains clean, high-quality spirulina and chlorella along with highly bioavailable vitamin C in its best forms – ground rose hips and citrus. Check out the recipe here or see the link below. If you choose another multi-nutritional supplement, we highly recommend using a brand that is a nutrition powder made of ground, pure, nutritionally complete food with the enzymes still intact. The chlorella and spirulina are not only amazing superfoods that chelate and detoxify the body, they are both highly bio-available proteins, and they have a synergistic effect with the other ingredients. Do make sure any chlorella or spirulina is from a trustworthy source. These ingredients, when coming from cheap sources, are known to have contaminants.
Epsom Salts, Clay Baths, and Hot & Cold Hydrotherapy
Epsom salts and clay baths help to pull toxins from the body while they cleanse the skin and unclog pores to allow more toxins to flow out. Hot and cold hydrotherapy increases blood flow throughout the body. Hot water pushes and increased blood flow to the skin’s surface while cold water drives the blood deep to the core.
Alternating hot and cold water brings fresh blood with oxygen and nutrients to the organs and glands and carries away toxins and pathogens. Dr. Shillington suggests starting with water as hot as you can stand for a minimum of two minutes. Then turn off the hot water for two minutes of cold—the colder the better. Alternate back and forth for a total of 20 minutes, ending with cold.
Detoxification For Children
Obviously, the proper diet and supplementation can be tricky for younger children. Smoothies are a great way to sneak in super-foods and supplements like the nutrition formula, turmeric, ginger, and small amounts of Shillington’s adult supplements. Shillington also offers a children’s intestinal cleanse made with Fig syrup, prune syrup, senna leaf, ginger root, fennel seed, wild cherry, orange peel, turkey rhubarb root, and cascara sagrada bark in maple syrup. For children with rashes or any other sign of Candida, this formula should be taken with a strong probiotic. For children who won’t take capsules, try Bio-K. They are little yogurts available at Whole Foods and other health-oriented stores. Don’t get just any yogurt you see; most yogurts will do more harm than good. Bio-K is a specifically designed bacteria formulated to pass through the stomach acid alive and well.
CHILDREN’S DOSAGES – THE 150 RULE
Doc Shillington recommends the following rule for determining dosages for children:
“Most of the time, herbal remedies that are used for adults can also be used for children. I personally have only 1 (one) formula that is designed specifically for kids and that is my Intestinal Kleanse for Kids. The only reason for this is that my regular Intestinal Cleanse Formula is in a capsule and has some very strong Habanero Cayenne in it. It is simply too large and hot a dose for a small child. Besides, trying to get a capsule down a 6-month-old is next to impossible. But, all the rest of my formulas can be given to children using the following guidelines for dosages given.”
This 150 Rule is very simple. Place the amount of your child’s weight over 150 and reduce it down to it lowest fraction. Here are some examples followed by a general weight / dose chart.
Let’s say a child’s weight = 50 pounds. Put the 50 over 150 as in 50/150 and you’ll see this reduces down to 5/15 or 1/3.
A child weighing 50 pounds would therefore get exactly 1/3 the adult dosage of any particular formula. The standard dose for Total Tonic would be 2 dropperfuls, 3 times a day (6 dropperfuls in all). This 50 pound child then would get 1/3 of this amount = 2 dropperfuls only once a day, or 1 dropperful twice a day depending on the child’s program.
If a child’s weight = 75 pounds. Put the 75 over 150 as in 75/150 and you’ll see this reduces down to a dose of only one half (½). In the Total Tonic example above, this 75-pound child would get 1 dropperful three times a day. Get the idea?
This 150 Rule can also be used for extra small or extra large adults who are very small or extra big.
Example: A woman who only weighs 100 pounds would have a 2/3 dosage whereas a man who weighed 300 pounds would put the 300 over the 150 = 300/150 and would end up getting two times the normal dosage. It works both ways.
Here are some more weights pre-calculated out for you:
125 lbs = 5/6 Dosage
25 lbs = 1/6 Dosage
15 lbs = 1/10 Dosage
Remember, we’re not talking rocket science here, so a little extra or a little less will not hurt. I’ve seen some pretty dramatic and awesome results from someone who accidentally took twice the recommended dosage. But in the same breath, remember to use gradients to be on the safe side.”
If money is tight, and you can only purchase one product for a child who will be, or has been vaccinated, probiotics are that one thing. A balanced gut is imperative. When breastfeeding, be absolutely sure to include lots of garlic, turmeric, ginger, avocado, and coconut oil in your diet, along with a good powdered nutrition formula.
How to Reverse Vaccine Damage
In addition to the protocol above, the endocrine system (thyroid, adrenals, etc.) and the gut microbes must be addressed for any kind of serious illness, whether it’s vaccine damage or any autoimmune issue. Strong, high-quality probiotics should be taken every day until all symptoms are alleviated. Gluten, casein, GMOs, MSG, artificial ingredients, and other toxins including ingredients from commercial cosmetics and body care products must be completely avoided. (BTW, there’s a specific protocol down below with specific recommendations for you if you don’t want to go clicking on all these individual links.)
Turbocharge the immune system with echinacea, oil of oregano, high dosages of highly bioavailable vitamin C, and enzymes. Our top two recommendations for vitamin C are Total Nutrition Formula and liposomal vitamin C. Echinacea of high quality creates a “fuzzy” feeling on the tongue. These supplements are especially beneficial for antioxidant support and immune support, perfect for anyone prone to infection and dealing with detoxification burdens. Cayenne, garlic, goldenseal root, and burdock seed and root, are all powerful blood purifiers. Clean blood equals a stronger immune system.
Make sure fats are balanced and the body has enough vitamin D. This is essential for healing and for building a strong immune system, as well as enabling the body to properly assimilate other nutrients.
In many cases, improvements will not be seen until the gut and the thyroid are healed. A strict diet is essential. With vaccine damage and a leaky gut, progress can quickly reverse if one strays from the diet. The body that is already reacting to foreign invaders and damage from toxins damage doesn’t need to battle a new slew of Candida, other foreign proteins, and other toxins entering the bloodstream through a leaky gut.
B Vitamins and Magnesium for Autism
Dr. Gaby reports the following information regarding vitamin B6 and magnesium.
In several studies, 10–15 supplementation with vitamin B6, alone or in combination with magnesium, was beneficial for autistic patients. Improvements included increased alertness, better communication and social interactions, higher intelligence quotient (IQ), fewer emotional outbursts, and less self-mutilation. Most studies used large doses of pyridoxine (30 mg/kg of body weight per day, to a maximum of 1 g/day in some studies; 75–3,000 mg/day in other studies). However, one study reported positive results using a relatively low dose of pyridoxine (0.6 mg/kg/day) in combination with magnesium. When magnesium was used, the dosage range was 6–15 mg/kg/day. The combination of vitamin B6 and magnesium appeared to be more effective than either nutrient alone. In a small number of patients whose initial favorable response to pyridoxine wore off, improvement was again seen when the patients were switched to pyridoxal phosphate (the biologically active form of vitamin B6). While the mechanism of action of vitamin B6 and magnesium is not known, these nutrients are thought to work in part by modulating dopamine metabolism.” – Gaby, Alan R., MD. Nutritional Medicine
Enzyme Supplementation For Vaccine Damage, Autism, and Any Other Disease
An enzyme isa large protein molecule that is found in all living things, from food to humans to cats and dogs. Enzymes control the speed of chemical reactions in your body. They are responsible for the chemical process that converts food into microscopic particles or nutrients that create your tissues and organs, your hair, skin, and nails. Without enzymes, no metabolic activity will occur. Some enzymes, like the ones in your gut, break down large molecules into smaller ones. Others, like the enzymes that make DNA, use small molecules to build up large complex ones. Enzymes also help cells communicate with each other, keeping cell growth, life and death, under control. Enzymes are essential to life.
Digestive enzymes break down food. Plant enzymes break down food in the pre-digestive phase of digestion before stomach acid inactivates them. Metabolic enzymes, also known as systemic enzymes, break down foreign proteins and fibrin and clean your blood of impurities. Consider the ramifications of this. Fibrin builds up when the body is damaged. It’s an important part of the healing process. Enzymes eliminate this scar tissue. Enzymes also eliminate viruses.
When a virus contacts a human cell, its external coating connects to the cell and the virus becomes able to contact DNA. This connection to DNA permits the virus to reproduce in a rapid manner. Proteolytic enzymes consume the exterior coating of a virus, rendering the virus permanently inert. They also break up circulating immune complexes in the blood. They enhance the elasticity of erythrocytes and reduce aggregation of blood platelets, increasing blood fluidity and its circulation in tissues. Enzymes are what take out the garbage, and they are the tools to rebuild the body. But the body can only produce so many.
When the body quits producing proteolytic or protein digesting enzymes responsible for controlling fibrin levels in the body system, the body dies within 24 hours. The more enzymes we supplement the body with and get in our diets, the longer we live. It’s that simple. Heart attack, stroke, somewhere, somehow, the body will cease to function.” – Dr. Tim Kelly
Enzymes are the fountain of youth if ever there was one. Aging appears to begin between the ages of 27 and 35 when the production of enzymes that dissolve protein begins to diminish. Scars stick around longer and remain more prominent. Aches and pains take longer to fade, injuries become slower to heal, and our body just doesn’t seem to recover like it once did because it doesn’t. We do damage to our body simply by being alive, and the more damage we do, the more enzymes we need to repair the damage.
Everybody can use more enzymes. We cannot get an optimal amount in our food unless we grow most of our own food with best practices to produce the most nutrient dense crops. Even then, we could still use more. Our body produces enzymes, but only a finite amount. The more foods we consume that are void of enzymes, the more we use up our finite supply.
Enzyme supplements fall under two categories: digestive and systemic. Digestive enzymes are taken with food to help digestion. There are also enzymes in raw foods that make it easier to absorb and properly assimilate nutrition.
Systemic enzymes (pancreatic enzymes, proteolytic enzymes, metabolic enzymes) are a bit more complicated. Getting enzymes from the digestive tract into the bloodstream isn’t easy. Enzymes released in the stomach will help digest food but will not survive the stomach acid. This is why systemic enzymes are typically offered in an acid-resistant capsule. The capsule is designed to release in the more alkaline environment of the intestinal tract. As long as the enzymes are taken on an empty stomach, the results have been shown to be spectacular.
Systemic enzymes have been used to treat problems and successfully eliminate ailments ranging from physical injuries, arthritis, heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, autism, herpes, HIV, (seems to work against any virus) fibromyalgia, asthma, and so much more. Most of the research has been published in non-English language journals. This systemic use of oral enzyme supplementation is just beginning to take off in the United States.
There are no reported side effects with systemic enzymes. Massive doses do not cause any problems or side effects, unlike high doses of pharmaceutical drugs or extremely high doses of supplements and herbs. The initial dosage, which is often one potent enzyme pill taken three times daily, 45 minutes before or 45 minutes after a meal, can be raised by three tablets daily every few days until the desired therapeutic response develops. A person given more than 3700 enzyme tablets in one day experienced diarrhea, but this was attributed to the capsules, not the content. The only side-effects from the enzymes themselves will be reduced inflammation and reduction of damaged and decaying cells, fibrin, viruses, and other proteins that have been introduced from a leaky gut or the body’s own mutated proteins (which happens under stress).
Enzyme supplementation is not a quick fix, but over time, they do produce amazing results. Consider systemic enzyme supplementation for repairing the damage done to the body from vaccines, infections, toxins, or anything that would cause any damage. Enzymes can help the body to reverse its age. What is age if not accumulated damage?
Keep Doing It
As I mentioned above, most people with any health ailments are perfectly capable of restoring their health to a much better place through diet alone. This includes vaccine damage. If you’ve had a vaccine, you have been damaged by the vaccine. The question is to what degree and whether the body already compensated or healed from it.
The benefit of concentrated herbal and supplemental therapy is their ability to speed up the healing and detoxification process. But most of these protocols do very little for most people when their diet is not right. The worse the diet is, the more supplements are going to be needed to compensate, up to the point at which the diet is so bad that supplements, at best, are merely slowing the decay of the body.
For those who are very sick and cannot function well enough to eat a well-balanced diet, a supplement protocol may be the difference between life and death, or at least, a miserable life and getting well.
These processes must not be hindered by medication aimed at suppressing the symptoms. While it may not be wise to stop taking medications under certain circumstances, the best one can hope for with even the most radical detox and nutrition overhaul program (such as this) is a body that works better. But to actually be healthy, one cannot continue consuming high levels of toxins such as pharmaceuticals.
Some of the above therapies will not apply, and many together may be overkill for the average person just looking to detox on a budget. But take your pick and pull what works for you. Or if you’re particularly ill, do your best to understand the whole process, and incorporate as much as you can that works for your budget and your health. Regardless of the ailment, this protocol can heal almost everyone if practiced long enough. Vaccines damage us from many different angles, and a holistic approach to healing is critical to reverse the damage.
Multiple injuries from vaccinations require each injury or disease to take its own time to heal and be cleared from the system. As the immune system becomes more in balance, it will be able to clear toxicity. Allergic symptoms will diminish and cognitive function will increase as the vaccine ingredients that the body is reacting too are expelled. Be sure to see the further reading below for more information.
Don’t let the supplement list below scare you. Most people can fully detoxify and recover from vaccines with the right diet and very little if any extra nutritional support if given enough time. This is especially true from people who were healthy to begin with. If you need to detox from vaccines on a tight budget, check this nutrition formula recipe and see these recipes here as well.
If you’re overwhelmed or want to pick a few more of the best supplements for your issues, or if money is tight, I recommend just taking SF722 and Abzorb. And put the rest of your energy on diet. Eating right is paramount, and when it comes to healing, supplements are not very effective for very long without a proper diet. If you suffer from any autoimmune health issues, vaccine-related or not, be sure to check out How To Heal Your Gut.Anyone who suffers from chronic illness is dealing with an abundance of Candida, and the body will not get well until the gut is balanced.
Diet is critical – even more important than the supplements. See the diet articles below. Eat a diverse large salad every day. Recipes are included below.

Juicing and Meditation – A Great Combination for Spring
The focus on warmer weather and fresh starts makes healthy eating a popular choice for spring. Healthy eating is wonderful, but do you know you can enhance the effects of a good diet through meditation?
You may not think meditation is for you, but it has something for everyone, even the most cynical ones. It has the ability to relieve pain, bring clarity to all areas of life, to improve the skin, and generate a feeling of all round serenity, which helps with any area of stress within life.
It is no use working hard on your career, family, social activities if you cannot relax properly to enjoy them. As you work hard to make improvements to your life, make it your mission, a duty to yourself, to cultivate calmness and clarity, which will aid in these improvements.
Meditation is a means to tap into your inner self. No noise, no over analysing, just you. Maybe even a part of yourself you have not encountered before. It is a gift to yourself and here are three reasons why meditation is a must for those looking for self-improvement.
Meditation Heals
Meditation takes you to a very private place. It brings a sense of profound rest leading to a deep feeling but doesn’t leave you drained. Instead it gets you re-energised.
Practicing meditation regularly is a discipline. If you are a regular dieter or stick to a healthy food plan, you’ll know discipline is based upon motivation and upkeep. Like a juice plan, you must remain dedicated. In the case of meditation, you should practice regularly, every day or twice a week.
Meditation can heal you at your core. You can reconnect with yourself and your intuition will be improved as well, providing a deep relaxation, which leads to clarity.
It helps with physical problems, too. Those who practice regularly find they sleep deeply. Recurring ailments like stress headaches can also be eased from meditation as well as inevitable processes such as menopause.
Those with addictions of varying levels of severity can use meditation, too. Even if it is just cutting down on something such as caffeine, the clarity which comes from meditation will be good for you. We like to feel our best even more so in the summer months, so it’s a good time to start being proactive.
Meditation Reveals the Real You
Since meditation is an act of self-love, one thing that nobody else can do or give to you, over time your own self-compassion will improve. You will benefit, as will those around you.
Life is stressful, and meditation can make it easier to become less reactive to issues around you, to feel less anger and frustration. Everyone can benefit from being more patient, and meditation naturally affirms this within you. The key is that you become more comfortable being yourself, even if you thought you were comfortable prior to meditation.
Look and Feel Healthier (and younger!)
According to The Journal of Neuroscience, meditating for five years or more keeps you physiologically five years younger than your actual chronological age. The healthy habits from meditation can be cultivated to cut down on food which is bad for us. This is according to the
The healthy habits from meditation can be cultivated to cut down on food that is bad for us. According to the Journal Emotion and The Journal of Behavioural Medicine, those who meditate have significantly higher levels of DHEA, a natural steroid hormone that reduces stress, improves memory and regulates weight.
Everyone likes to feel youthful during the summer months. A new lease on life will improve progress and motivation in all areas of work. The ability to enjoy life with improved clarity will create better experiences for you and for those you care about the most.
