Feb 2018 – Switched to Distilled Water

2 Replies

My first few weeks on distilled water have been quite a surprise as I underestimated the cleansing side effects. I’m guessing it will take a few months to really get a gauge on how much of a difference it makes.

The theory with distilled water is that it has no inorganic minerals (calcium, magnesium etc) attached to it so it acts like more a solvent throughout our bodies. It actually starts attracting unwanted inorganic particulates and therefore gradually cleanses us. We get our organic minerals from whole foods. The best ‘mineral water’ would actually be from squeezed veges and fruits, so for me not tolerating fruits then I would go for the greens. If not squeezing then at least have a good chew on my own veges from the garden. For those without a garden then a small pot or planter box in your kitchen would be a start.

We don’t need inorganic minerals. This why machinery needs distilled water because a mineral water would calcify and clog it. I recall while living in London my kettle would get calcified but I would still drink the water thinking my body would process it all. Maybe it didn’t process all of it and this sludge starts to build up inside us.

It makes a lot of sense. If anyone wants to learn more then there are some great videos around by Andrew Norton Webber. He goes as far as to say urine is actually the greatest distilled water and some people have done successful 30 to 40 days urine fasts. I understand that one would have to be free of any medication and have done a lot of prep work with distilled water and clean diet for months before attempting anything like this. I’m still researching.

Dr Robert Cassar who runs a health retreat on Big Island Hawaii also promotes distilled water with sauna therapy and clean eating. He has great abs too which you will no doubt see 😉  He has made some very informative videos, his site is eartheracademy.com

I’m currently buying my distilled water in plastic bottles from the supermarket but in a few weeks time I will decide about a bench top unit from a company like Steampure or Aquanui. Or there are cheaper cylindrical units that go for about $300. No plastic and cheaper in the long run.

Only time will tell whether this ‘dry’ water really has some magic to it; i hope it does. If anyone else has had some success with switching to distilled water then I’d like to hear from you.

Other news:

I’m using my tiny but effective infrared sauna (homemade, $250) every couple of days at the moment but don’t seem to notice too much a of a difference. At this point i just have faith in that it’s doing it’s job. I’m going by ‘feel’ more than anything else; just doing one when it feels right. Coffee enemas not so much at the moment.

After limited results I stopped the vitamins I was on. If they hadn’t had a marked effect on me after 18 months then I guessed they weren’t ever going to. Perhaps they were clogging me up even more. I do make sure eat very clean – about 30/70 meat/eggs to vege ratio and no processed food. Very low starch and very little sugar. That’s what works for me. A vegetarian diet at this point in time doesn’t work for me.

I stopped the Natural Thyroid extract. It worked well a year or so ago but it seemed to turn on me and it felt like my mind was going a million miles an hour. I was burning out. My TSH is at about 3 so it has come down which is good. I will use a transdermal Iodine next and see how that goes. I rub some transdermal Magnesium on too.

I’m chewing my food to a liquid. Swallowing chunks of unchewed food is wasting all the nutrition. The stomach won’t do your chewing for you – just think of that corn you swallowed whole – it comes out the other end exactly how it went in. Digestion happens mainly in the mouth.

To everyone out there struggling at times with their own journeys – hang in there and don’t give up. We’ve been lied to for a long time about health but all this good information is starting to come to the surface again. Be patient and keep safely trying things.

 

Anti-Microbial Program Breakthrough

2 Replies

For 10 months I’d been occasionally trying to increase doses of Fungus Fighter (HerbPharm /iherb) but with no success. I really wondered what I had to do to get over this hump on the road. I was advised to ramp up gut healing nutraceuticals and take loads of probiotics but when I took these I seemed to worsen. Being ‘anti-supplements’ in general I came up with a plan to hack this part of the program. It’s seems to have been successful.

I went totally alkaline for 6 weeks – high ph water, salads, cooked veges, seeds, tofu etc. I checked the alkalinity of my saliva and urine a couple of times a day. It took 4 weeks for my morning saliva to go from an acidic 6 to a more normal looking 7. Urine stayed about 7.2; I don’t understand why this is, I was hoping it would drop to around 5.8 or 6 to signal that I was draining acids successfully but maybe I was and all the alkaline food was masking the acid coming out.

I was pleasantly surprised I could ramp up Fungus Fighter with no issues. 3 or 4 squirts (150 drops) a day – this was unheard of. I even added a Bioray product called Liverlife and got away with taking 50 drops a day of that. Years ago 1 drop would have been my limit. Liverlife gets Phase 1 and 2 functioning in the liver. I think it was too early to take this as it started processing heavy metals and/or other toxins and this was too much for my body while on alkaline. Without taking a proper binder I probably wasn’t excreting as much as I was mobilizing. After 6 weeks I started to get run down I stopped the diet, the Liverlife and added animal protein in my diet again. I’m 25% meats, 75% mainly cooked veges. It’s early days and I’m still on max dose Fungus Fighter so it’s all been a success at this stage and should pave the way for a much easier experience with final detox/chelation. Perhaps it wasn’t necessary to go full alkaline, a diet with mostly alkaline foods may have done the job, albeit more slowly.

I also found some Bioray NDF Plus and dabbled with that but the headaches were too severe so I will put that back in the cupboard. I will avoid any Cilantro and Alpha Lipoic Acid products for the time being. Once again, mobilizing toxins is the easy part, it’s excreting them that is the more important and trickier part. Yes I could have taken way less NDF as advised but I just wanted to see what would happen. I have been guilty of just hoping and wanting a product to work even if I know it will probably make me feel worse. I spoken to others about this and it’s common because we all just want to feel better and some of our decisions are irrational.

Just a word on Thyroid. In hindsight I should have just got a test done but I phased the natural thyroid product out 100% and then got tested. ( Another ‘mercury brain’ decision ) My TSH had improved, down from 4.5 to 3.5, so it’s going the right way. I may restart the extract again to get TSH down to around the apparently ideal 1.5 area.

I sometimes respect the destructive power of underlying toxicity. It’s such a powerful negative force and we can be trying so hard in so many areas of healing and unless you start to remove it, it just keeps applying pressure and doing it’s best to weaken us. I’m glad we have solutions, not quick and easy, but there are ways to recover.

By the time I post again I should be well into final detox/chelation. I’m not totally sure what products I will use. I was thinking good old DMSA to begin with might but there are other options. For example, a friend was advised to take these products for final detox: Zeobind, Zeolites, EDTA ARG Lipophos, EDTA Rectal suppositories, then Quicksilver Vit C and R-LA, then Wheatgrass and Cilantro, then Liposomal Melatonin. Note that this person has done many months of groundwork and preparation getting to this stage – gut, liver, thyroid, diet etc. There are some seriously strong products here that could do a lot of damage to someone who doesn’t understand what they are designed for. The last few products detox your brain cells – you need to know exactly what you are doing and be under the guidance of a professional.

I look forward to the new year and continuing to make progress; all the best with your own challenges. It’s summer here in New Zealand so I’m off to get some sun and salt water on the body.

 

 

 

 

 

Glasses for Screen Sensitivity

2 Replies

I’ve made a good discovery – although not too many others seems to have the screen sensitivity that I do.

A year ago I purchased some orange “blue blocker” glasses from amazon so I could do some TV watching and computer work and not get a stress response. They improved things moderately.

I always wondered why I got this response, was it because I had some inflammation or infection around the eye area or the toxicity was playing a role. I don’t think i’ll ever find out but I suspect it’s a combination of those factors.

I recently read a fascinating article from Light Therapist Dr Alexander Wunsch. This is the type of chap who only uses 12 volt powered 5watt halogen light after sunset at his home and I think he’s doing the right thing. here’s the article:

https://www.facts-are-facts.com/article/energy-saving-light-bulbs-can-make-you-ill

He says:

  • we are grossly underestimating the negative effects all this fake light we live under is doing to us. New energy saving bulbs are generally not healthy and we must keep using thermal bulbs such as the common incandescent.
  • adapting to the rhythms of the seasons and ‘up with the sun, down with the sun’ is the healthiest way to live.
  • the blue light from these energy saving bulbs and florescent lights can burn our eyes.
  • the darkness hormone – melatonin, is crucial for health. 9 to 10 hours darkness is required.
  • blue light during the evening and night disrupts our hormone balance – it suppresses production of melatonin

What was surprising to me was what he said about this “mercury signature”:

“Energy saving bulbs, computer TFT monitors and LCD televisions also emit a so-called mercury light, which contains intensive energy peaks of 436 nanometres. It is precisely this wavelength that can release cell-damaging materials in the body (particularly in the eye). Mercury light intensifies the toxic effect of mercury present in the body. Possible symptoms of poisoning are aggravated in this way”

So he designed tinted glasses to block out this harmful wavelength. I’m using these glasses right now and I definitely feel an improvement over the cheaper blue-blocker pair. I cannot prove this, they may both block the same thing but they seem to be much better. I recommend anyone who is screen or fake light sensitive to try these glasses.

Murnau Prisma Glasses from a Swiss or German website:

https://www.zeitenschrift.com/shop/gesundheit-wellness/prisma-bildschirm-schutzbrillen.html

It’s about making life as comfortable as possible while we remove these toxins from our bodies.  I recommend anyone with health issues examine their light exposure during the day and night and mitigate as much fake light as possible.

If anyone else has had any experiences with this light issue I’d like to hear from you.

A Chelation Success Story – Not Your Typical Protocol

Leave a reply

Occasionally people contact me via my website and share their experience.

I want to let readers know that this is not a protocol I would recommend. I doubt many practitioners would advise doing this method. I suspect they would recommend way more supporting supplements, even if they weren’t necessary.

This particular chap form Australia was severely toxic and after many years was wondering whether he would ever recover.

He had major gut issues and struggled to tolerate anything other than a few food groups. He was desperate and actually didn’t care at the time what the outcome was.

He took a punt and with some notes from the Australian Autism websites put together his protocol:

  • DMSA suppositories every 4 hours for 3 days (starting with very small dose, 1 to 3 mgs, slowly ramping up until he found a maximum tolerable dose)
  • minimum 11 days off between rounds
  • no Alpha Lipoic Acid at any time
  • no extra supplements – he did not believe in adding vitamins
  • extremely nutritious diet as his gut was able to tolerate more.

Within 3 months he knew he’d hit pay-dirt and after 1 year he said he was in good health was training for a marathon. He did take a few weeks off after 6 months of chelation. If he felt run-down or weak he waited longer in between rounds.

This seems to be good to be true I have no reason to not believe him. Although inserting something up your bum at 11pm, 3am and 7am isn’t something I would look forward to. If DMPS was just as effective then 8 hours gaps would make life much easier.

No ALA surprises me. Perhaps he had very little intracellular toxicity or his cells pushed more toxicity out into the bloodstream as the blood levels came down. I don’t understand this so I’m not going to pretend I do. Andy Cutler says ALA has to be used at some point because it crosses the blood brain barrier and gets into the cells but people have got better without it.

Comparing this to the Andy Cutler protocol and recommended supplements you’ll find a big gap. Many thanks to Living Network in South Africa for providing this information:

Click on the main title below to see the extended / recommended full protocol

Oral Chelation for Mercury: The Andy Cutler protocol

Anyone who suspects they have a toxicity issue and are considering chelation therapy needs to do their own research and work along side an experienced practitioner before considering any protocol.

I hope you found this valuable and all the best with your own detox journey

Alpha Lipoic Acid Backfire – A Slight Setback

Leave a reply

After warning people for years about taking too much Alpha Lipoic Acid too soon, I go and take too much.

I had done a few rounds of DMSA (15mg average) and had got too confident. I added 3mg ALA to the last 2 rounds and this seemed to go okay. What I hadn’t realized was it was well past it’s use-by date. So when I made the slight increase to 5mg ALA of fresh stuff it hit me hard. After 2 days I was starting to fade badly so stopped the ALA. To make matters worse, 5 days later I did another round of just DMSA thinking I would be mopping up the metals I had stirred up. This only made matters worse as the damage had been done. In theory, our minerals and glutathione levels need to recover before doing another round. I wasn’t waiting long enough in between rounds.

Then the suffering started. It was a awful 2 weeks of:

  • racing heart – I could not lie down during the day or else I would get too agitated. I had to keep busy just to keep my mind off the symptoms.
  • head/scalp tension – my God, this was something else, I’ve heard people describe a ‘head burn’, well this probably wasn’t far off.
  • burning lower arms
  • anxiety and fearfulness, awful thoughts

It’s safe to say it has been a forgettable few weeks and is only starting to resolve. A lesson learned. I was having up to 3 hot showers a day for pain relief.

I found some relief with coffee enemas, clay/charcoal binders, saunas (sometimes made me weaker), cold swims/showers, staying occupied outside the house, dry brushing skin, alkaline foods. If or when I restart DMSA rounds I will wait 11 days in between for the body to recover.

This episode also made me realize I needed to ramp up my anti-microbial program to make chelation much easier. I started Milk Kefir again, I ordered some more kefir grains online and found a local store bought milk that was suitable. Otherwise it’s all too hard. To be able to pop down to the nearest store is key, and put fresh batch on every day or 2.

Update 1 week later – had to stop Kefir as I think all the yeasts and other bacteria made me worse. Perhaps it was because it’s dairy. I’m not sure but it just didn’t suit me. I will find probitics without yeasts, sugar and lactose. 5lac has yeasts so that may also have to go.

I also make my own sauerkraut which is very simple, i seem to tolerate this in moderation. I dabble with 5Lac and Vivomixx probiotics also. (not sold on these) So the battle is on for the gut terrain. I’m ramping up the Fungus Fighter (struggling with this) and getting that up to full dose (4 droppers/day) is my immediate aim. The occasional coffee “bomb” to clear everything out, I had a really good gall bladder purge the other day with a few big soft stones coming out. Some others use the Hulda Clark liver purge but I haven’t tried this in years as I was too weak.

Cold swims in the ocean and cold (or whatever I could handle) showers seemed to be very effective. Painful to start but always seem better afterwards, as long as it doesn’t weaken you.

I have been taking up to 3 spoonfuls per day, 3 separate occasions of Dr Schultz’s charcoal and clay mix which seems to be helping. After many timing experiments I actually take it first before a meal. Big glass of warm water with the powder, wait 5 minutes, then food. An hour away from any other supplements.

In terms of what I can manage these days, I went for my first scuba dive for a decade which I seemed to handle well. I still have inflammation in the inner ear so equalizing was painful so it’ll be  while before I’m back down there but it’s a good start. Still a lot of work ahead.

Until next time, all the best with your own recovery. Hang in there and be consistent.

Forging on with Chelation and Anti-Microbials

2 Replies

The long drawn out process of detoxing metals continues. Some words that sum up the last few months are: discipline, consistency, focus, it’s a marathon, be careful and eat the right foods – consistently,  There’s no doubt about it that I find it difficult at times; the relentless effort required to get the job done can be tiresome in it’s own right. The roller-coaster of symptoms and trying to work out what did what seems never ending. I have had some glimpses of good health though, so I do feel I’m progressing.

Improvements I’ve noticed:

  • calmer, better mood, able to converse with people more naturally, sense of humor returning, dreadful thoughts disappearing, more energy and stamina, better appetite, enjoying food more, can stand up quickly, wanting to listen to music, more upbeat about the future, tolerate screens better and welcomed weight gain.

These might sound strange to a healthy person but the toxic people out there are all too familiar with weird symptoms that your average doctor would diagnose as “psychosomatic”.

I’ll admit I’m not exactly following the plan. I’ve obviously got some bad bug issues because every time I ramp up the bug killing products I feel rough. I lost patience and tried a round of DMSA which surprisingly didn’t knock me around too much, so I kept going. I’ve done 4 ’rounds’ of 20mg DMSA and 5mg Alpha Lipoic Acid. I’m pleased to be tolerating this dose. I’m fully aware I may not be able to tolerate it for what ever reason but it’s going well so far. I make sure I have a good break of about a week and load up on zinc and magnesium. I follow the Andy Cutler style of chelation. So I’m following  a combination of programs.

This is interesting because years ago I did over 40 rounds with 5mg DMPS but couldn’t tolerate a bigger dose. Adding ALA, even 1mg was a disaster. So what’s changed? Got thyroid TSH down, re-built gut and liver/kidney support basically. I have also used Mensah medical supplements (B12, Folate, Zinc, mag etc…) but it’s hard to say what role they’ve played. Also Dr Shultz #2 clay/charcoal mix up to 3 times per day 1/2 hour before meals. And coffee enemas as needed.

I don’t know of any two people that have had exactly the same program for getting well. We all seem to settle into whatever works through careful experimentation. There is no choice a lot of the time as many mainstream doctors will advise against chelation and thyroid support but also not come up with any other solutions – it’s usually too risky for them. In the mean time for many of us it’s a ‘do-it-yourself’ job.

So Thyroid is steady, supplements are good, I’m still experimenting with probiotics and I use milk thistle and kidney liquid formulas from Herbpharm plus some other bits and pieces. Getting the foundation right BEFORE chelation was key for me. Less chronic cases might be resilient enough to handle it straight.

  • bad bugs develop and multiply in a toxic and acidic environment
  • they always will unless we decrease the underlying toxic burden
  • pathogen load will decrease as you detoxify metals, and vice versa
  • they put a huge strain on our guts – 1000’s of billions of probiotics daily are sometimes required to get on top of the bad bug issue. Good bugs help eat the bad bugs. It’s war.
  • pathogens cause much cellular damage to organs, brain and glands.
  • these microbes produce toxic waste our liver has to deal with constantly
  • they lower or disrupt our energy frequency, we lose our vitality.
  • with pathogens decreasing, our immune system will then get a chance to catch up and strengthen. Particularly when we rebuild the gut as 90% of our immune system resides there. Strong gut = strong immune system
  • metals are excreted when bugs are killed – this is  a crucial stage and must be taken seriously and slow, particularly for severe cases. A lot is going on with this stage. Having to quit and start again can be very disappointing. Don’t just continue when feeling awful.
  • severe toxic cases require a very different protocol from mild cases. You really have to know what you’re doing.

I’m starting to understand how these unfriendly microbes associated with heavy metals really do cause us a heap of issues. Someone like Connie Fox says chelation is the final easy part and we should be feeling almost symptom free by the time we get to that stage. And Dr Klinghardt says “metals and bugs are great friends”. It’s not so much the metals directly causing us pain and weird symptoms but the associated bad bugs that seem to go hand in hand with chronic toxicity. It’s all the downstream issues that toxicity causes that give us grief. Maybe our immune systems are constantly over-whelmed trying to get on top of these chronic infections / bad bugs. That’s certainly how it feels sometimes.

All the best with your own recovery.

 

 

 

 

Setback After Not Tolerating Anti-Microbial Stage

2 Replies

As someone with suspected moderate to severe toxicity, I had been warned that if hadn’t done enough foundation work on my gut and liver then I would struggle with the anti-microbial stage. When these bugs die they put a strain on the gut, liver and kidneys.

Looking back, the main reason I gave up on the gut work was because I didn’t have any success with the mast cell stabiliser ‘Ketotifen’ which had apparently helped so many others. A friend with obvious and severe gut issues was having success with it so it’s pot luck. I had big expectations but it made me way worse so the next option was to use probiotics, gut friendly nutraceuticals  and foods like milk kefir.  Good probiotics are expensive and making kefir is time consuming so along with some other excuses I skipped it. Bad decision.

Before I go on, if there is some ongoing stress in your life that you can do something about, then this can be a huge help. The gut wants blood around it, this can’t happen when you’re stressed out all the time in flight-or-flight mode. And I realise the illness itself causes stress that we can only do so much about (but usually more then we think) so this issue is different for everyone. Too much fake light from devices is not good for the gut, I’ve minimised my usage particularly at nights and it has definitely helped, particularly with sleeping. It’s takes constant experimenting.

Back to the gut program – I also thought I was strong enough at that point to start the anti-microbial program which included products such as Artemesia, Fungus Fighter, Vermez (a NZ product, similar to Para-Shield). An anti-microbial program has bug killing ingredients such as Walnut Hull, Clove, Oregano Leaf, Pau d’Arco, Wormwood, Olive Leaf Extract, Garlic etc. Some also take Niacin the blood thinner so the ingredients can get into all the nooks and crannies.

Initially I started well but as the weeks progressed I got weaker. My will power to get better kept me going but it got to a point where was rapidly fading away and had no choice but to stop. I didn’t follow instructions properly either – I started taking small doses of everything instead of ramping up one product at a time to full dose and then moving on.

After a demoralising day or 2 I when back to the drawing board and made a plan for the gut and liver work. I’m currently tolerating well the Milk thistle for liver and a kidney support (both HerbPharm products from iherb).

For gut i take Slippery Elm (mucosal lining healer) and should really make some magic gut tea to sip away on all day which includes slippery elm, marsh-mellow root and licorice.

Probiotics include sporadic batches of kefir, ramping up FiveLac powder and looking to add something like Vivomixx. This all seems to be working because every time I increase dosage I get headaches and fatigue but it clears relatively quickly. I take a binder in the mornings and sometimes at night away from anything else consumed. (Dr Shultz Intestinal binder). And Dr Shultz #1 to get things moving; very effective.

I will wait until I can tolerate maximum dose of the gut and probiotic products and only then will have another attempt at the bug killing stage. And then comes the extraction of toxins from inside the cell which will most likely involve Alpha Lipoic acid and some form of chelator/binder such as DMSA to escort it pout of the body.  I did an “Andy Cutler” round of DMSA (extra-cellular detox / outside the cell) a few weeks ago and that went well but I tried ALA alone and that was a disaster so be very careful with this as it crosses the blood brain barrier and allows toxins to travel in and out. It is VERY easy to shift toxins from relatively safe locations to not so safe locations and make yourself MUCH worse. Which method I use will be decided in the future with consultation with professionals matched with what I think i can handle.

As desperate as we are to get these toxins out of our bodies we have to be patient. Big mistakes will only delay recovery.

My recovery program is currently based on:

  • Connie Fox detox program – thyroid, gut, heavy metal detox. – Dr Klinghardt.
  • Dr Jack Kruse circadian rhythm guidelines
  • Root Cause protocol – importance of magnesium and diet
  • Paleo Diet – nothing that can feed the unwanted bacteria associated with toxicity – sugar, booze, bread – most high glycemic carbs.

Next update will be when I attempt the bug killing stage again. I hope this post has helped and given you some clues as to what to do next or possible root causes.

 

 

 

 

Anti-Microbial / Parasite / Viral / Fungal Program

Leave a reply

I’m pleased to say I now have enough resilience and core strength to tolerate the anti microbial supplements. Many months ago I could not tolerate any bug killing food or supplement. Even Coconut oil would send me into a spiral of physical and mental suffering. I couldn’t even tolerate a 1 drop per day of Liver Life. I was at a roadblock, i just could not progress. No wonder products like cilantro, DMPS/DMSA, Alpha Lipoic Acid were total disasters for me a while back; it’s because my body was in no shape to handle them. They are great products in their own right but timing is everything. You cannot rush severe and chronic toxicity issues.

What was vital for getting me to this level was balancing my thyroid (even though the doctors said it was normal – they were wrong) , taking customized supplements including B6 and Zinc to fix the Pyroluria/Pyrolles issue and getting diet right. Without this, I was going nowhere just existing and hoping I would find some solution. Part of me had given up; it was a miserable existence. I’d seen over 80 health practitioners over a 22 year period. I was starting to suspect my own sanity, and it didn’t help that the ‘best’ doctors in the country were saying it was psychosomatic. I can now confirm that this was total bullshit and no anti-psychotic drug or psychotherapy would have ever had a long lasting positive effect.

So to be at the stage where I am improving and can tolerate supplements and reduce my microbial load is great. Food and sleep actually work now, in terms of natural recovery from daily activities. But the job isn’t done yet, the bug/parasite/worm killing side effects aren’t fun if I don’t manage the program well but this is all part of learning and healing.

This is the last stage before actually directly pulling out any heavy metals like lead and mercury. Much of this toxic load would have already come out by that stage (when bugs are killed they can release toxins) and one should be feeling relatively strong or much stronger than previously to be able to tolerate the final detox products like synthetic chelators and alpha lipoic acid and cilantro etc. These are examples; I’m not sure what I will be using yet.

Below is a pic of most of the anti-microbial program products.

So I’m established on whole thyroid extract, nutraceuticals/supplements and a damn good diet for me. Everyone is different but it’s based on a meat, eggs, greens regime with very little carbs, sugar – you know the drill. High quality food. If you’ve found an ideal diet that is not what generally works for others then that’s great. I’ll admit I haven’t been so strict and had the occasional bread, chocolate, diary blowout and the odd beer. I tolerated those foods way better but it’s defeating the purpose – those foods feed what we are trying to kill.

Brief Overview

Dr Shultz: Intestinal formula # 1. This has been the most effective anti-constipation product I’ve used. The time between getting the message and sitting down is alarmingly quick! When detoxing, you want things to be passing through you relatively quickly for a number of reasons. Even with clay/charcoal binders; you don’t want these agents getting stuck and eventually soaking back into your bloodstream. They absorb a lot but they aren’t perfect. If you don’t use a product like this then you are going to have to rely on enemas which are cheaper but more work. Or any other method you have discovered to get things moving.

Niacin: dilates small blood vessels so the bug killing formulas can really get in there

Grapefruit Juice/Extract: Our livers make enzymes that lessen the effect of the bug killers; this inhibits the enzymes. It is also an antimicrobial in itself.

Milk Thistle: general liver support. The liver will be under strain so any support for it is recommended. Although it is not directly a bug killer it can mobilize a backlog of toxins so just be aware of this. I started on this first and used the coffee and charcoal/clay when feeling rough. Once established on this I introduced the active bug killers.

Fungus Fighter: anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. Kidney support.

Harker Vermez: a deworming/parasite intestinal cleanser. This is a New Zealand product but there are similar potions around containing wormwood, green walnut leaf and clove oil and more. Davinci Labs Para Shield is another option.

Liver Life: opens up liver detox pathways and supports kidney function. This product is not actually part of the official program I’ve been given. I find it very powerful and increasing the daily dose has been slow going. I should be fine with the Milk Thistle so I suspect the herbs in there are helping to flush out toxins. I’ll bear with it and reassess things in a month.

Coffee Enemas: as a veteran who has done over 200 of these over the years I can safely say these have been one of the most effective detox / plan management treatments out there. They also cost around $0.50 each and you don’t have to leave home. I’m doing one every few days at the moment and more if I’m not tolerating a higher bug killer dose. Clay and Charcoal can help a lot but there’s nothing like a full flush out to ease the detox side effect pain. The coffee has acids in it that dilate tubes around the gallbladder and liver, sometimes you can hear the dirty old bile getting squeezed out into your gut. Your gut then senses this toxicity and immediately expels it. Doctors have told me i’m wrong on this but they’ve never done one!!?? My first few coffee enemas expelled hundreds of pea sized balls most likely from my gallbladder or liver ducts, this literally saved me from a world of pain.

I haven’t met many others who have had the success I’ve had with this treatment but i think it’s really worth a go.

Dr Shultz: Formula # 2 Clay / Charcoal: an effective binder of whatever is expelled from your gallbladder and soaked in from the gut wall. I am still experimenting as to when is the best time to take this. I use it half an hour after taking the bug killers and after a coffee enema if I’m feeling light headed. I’ve also tried before bed and upon waking. Hopefully it becomes clear what works and I can share this. If I’m really struggling then I take it throughout the day on an as needed basis. Coffee enema may also be required. But if it gets to this stage then I decrease my dosage as it can be too tough on the body. One has to be patient in this game. On the occasional day off I bounce back strongly so this is positive.

Improvements on days off have been better mood, clearer head, better sleep, food tastes better, less anxiety/irritability, smoother skin. Just all round improvements in general.

The amount of supplements can be overwhelming but until someone comes with a better solution then this is the way it is. It takes discipline, dedication and planning. It can be a lonely experience but if you’ve made it this far then you can keep going.

Other supplements commonly used are garlic, probiotics, para shield, lymecore formula. I’m sure there are many others that also have worked well for people. Let me know in the comments if you have had success. Infrared saunas and light exercise/stretching/swimming also can help. It’s constant experimentation. As long as you understand what you are trying to do and what support your body needs. Toxins into bloodstream – liver – gallbladder/kidney/skin then out. These channels must be supported and functioning reasonably well before undertaking this stage.

A full description on dosages and products will be in my detailed program published later this year (assuming my progress continues as this rate)

All the best with your own recovery.

My recovery is going well. I feel at about 65-70% well. A year ago I also thought I was at this level but I was actually much worse. Back then I was at around 30-40% which was a miserable place to be.

I’ve still got work to do – I’m approaching stage 4 of 5. I’m tolerating all the vitamins so next is reducing bugs, bio-films, mold and candida if I I have it. I’m going to do the 3 month+ course anyway just to clear the path for the final stage which is intracellular detoxification. I should be feeling much better and have some resilience by then as this stage is tough on the body.

I continue to do what I mentioned in my previous post:

  • High dose customised supplements. I’m finally able to tolerate (took 3 months) a full dose of the supplements which I listed a few posts back. 2000mcg, 400mcg Folic Acid, 100mgs B6 plus many others all formulated into 2 caps in the morning and 4 at night. This is not a DIY job, these levels are customised to my biochemistry and will change over time. They are designed to normalize neurotransmitter levels which obviously have a huge impact on overall health. http://www.biobalance.org.au/patients/find-practitioners Hunt around for a good practitioner; I had to go to the Sates to see Dr Mensah himself. I could have gone to Aussie but decided to not muck around and go straight to the man himself. This is not part of Connie Fox’s program but the nutrients are similar.

 

  • Thyroid levels corrected: TSH (thyroid simulating hormone) must be kept around 1 to 1.5.  Re-test every 3 months. My doctor said my initially high (hypo) TSH was in the “normal’ range. Then when it was really low (hyper) it was apparently also in the normal range. Unbelievable. Me believing this over the last decade has cost me, it’s been a huge mistake not treating the thyroid. Correcting my TSH down to 1.5 has made a huge difference. If you’re toxic with something like mercury or other poijsons, it can mess with your thyroid and make you feel real shitty and miserable. Whole/Natural Thyroid Extract will correct TSH. Micro doses are needed for sensitive individuals. E.g https://getrealthyroid.com/why-get-real/nature-throid/

 

  • Avoid/ Limit stress: being unwell is a stressful time so you initially can only do so much. Everything must be examined – relationships, loneliness, noise, driving, EMF, fake light – computers, too much exercise and more.

 

  • Avoid / Limit EMF:  as I was sensitive to EMF and most likely WI-FI I built a small cabin so I sleep outside of the house. It’s zero AC current, (my body voltage in my existing room was about 15 volts AC!). It runs off a car battery and solar panel and sleep much better; it;s so much ‘calmer’. I realise not everyone can just go and build a cabin on their front lawn so things to do in the mean time is measure your body voltage where you sleep, turn off wifi at night or run Ethernet cables to devices, turn off house power at the switchboard. All this is a hassle so that’s why I moved outside. I really had to make some big changes. It may not be necessary if you can do the above and get stronger therefore losing the sensitivity, but it sure helps and no one should be living in a house with a lot of stray electrical activity. We are getting bombarded with cell site microwave, wifi, unshielded house wiring, and blue light from big TV’s and looking at devices after sunset. I advise limiting this as it messes with the melatonin and glutathione you need for a deep restorative/detox sleep. Dr Klinghardt has good info about this. Also, as Dr Jack Kruse explains, AM light is really important and has helped me. I spend as much of the morning outside or working near a window to natural light. Our brain needs this.

 

  • Gut: my gut wasn’t too bad but I know some people really have some issues. Be aware of gut brain issues where if you are neurologically stressed then this will negatively affect you gut, no matter how many amazing ‘gut repair’ and special diets you try. Someone like Connie Fox in Florida has a lot of great ideas about healing the gut. Toxicity still has to be resolved or else you’ll be managing symptoms for ever. NB: I have no business relationship with Connie.

 

  • Purpose: really anything that you live for. A hobby, work, future career, study, an upcoming event, gardening, family, travel, a project. Don’t let health be everything or else it can become a vacuum. I know it’s important but if you are at it all the time you can become worse; you become IT. I know because it happened with me. Try to have as much fun and socializing as possible. I know this sounds ridiculous as some people are bedridden and couldn’t think of anything worse and just cannot enjoy anything they used to do. This will change as you improve. I visualized being well and doing all the things I used to do. Our brains don’t know any different so visualize your healthy future. At times working and getting your health program started will take a  lot of time and it must be your primary focus. It can take time to accept this; realizing that for the time being you cannot do what want to do or live how you used to live. It is difficult at times, there’s no doubt about it.

 

  • Initial Tough Stage: I vary rarely need to do any of these pain and symptom management techniques anymore but I’ll list what I did anyway: coffee enemas were a life saver, I built my own infra-red sauna, soaking in the lake/ocean, spending time outdoors as uncomfortable as the bright light was. Slow deep breathing, trying to relax somehow once a day.  A very strict diet was essential – for my biochemistry it was as many greens as possible with some animal protein. Just experiment until you get it right. I could not touch wheat, diary, sugar, booze. Be careful with supplements if you don’t know what you’re doing as they can make you way worse.

 

Below – Getting out and about and actually well enough to enjoy it. That’s what people don’t understand – I could have done this when I was weak but I would have hated it and that wouldn’t have been good for me.

My near zero emf ‘off the grid’ cabin running off an old car battery and solar panel. It’s good knowing there aren’t any live cables within a metre from my head when I’m sleeping. For most people this isn’t possible. As you progress with healing/detoxing these sensitivities should subside.

Cheers, John

Taking a break from my Website / Blog…

For the time being I won’t be updating and replying to comments unfortunately. I hope to return as soon as possible but this is a health decision. Long sessions on the computer sap my energy more than they should so I am limiting any computer work.

Feel free to comment and get in contact as I will still glance over it but I can’t promise a reply anytime soon.

This is what I’m currently doing:

Diet: I follow mainly cooked veges, lots of greens and a little meat. This coincides with my methylation status which is borderline over-methylator. I avoid all the goodies such as sugar, booze and baking. I drink ph8.5 local spring water and add electrolytes sometimes.

Lifestyle: I avoid stress like the plague. I would recommend anyone limit or stop any unnecessary stress whether it’s physical, mental or emotional. I also attempt to occupy myself with activities that I find non-taxing and interesting; whether that’s self-study from a book or working in the yard/garden. I avoid EMF from computers and house power, talking on mobile phone etc as much as possible, but not to the point where thinking about it all the time is stressful.

I spend as much time outside and follow Dr Jack Kruse’s work. This works well for me and I continue to work towards a ‘natural light’ life. Less fake blue light and more sunlight.

I usually wind down/meditate once a day.

Supplementation: Walsh Institute/ Mensah Medical – to naturally rebuild neurological function and therefore detox function. See previous post.

And just be aware that even with the best diet and supplements, it’s what you do or don’t do all day that is just as important. If we keep doing things that take too much energy from us or stress us out then we’ll continue to struggle. We can outsource some of the solutions but it also comes down to us solving a lot of it ourselves.

I choose to stay calm when previously I would have got wound up. It’s a choice, so choose to not emotionally react. It’s a waste of vital energy; energy we need for healing.

Sleep: The Jack Kruse advice has been beneficial. Like avoiding fake light as much as possible after sunset. Also Dr Klinghart’s sleep sanctuary tips are good. e.g Ambient AC ‘body voltage’ should be less than 1 volt AC. I measure 15 volts in my bedroom so I’m working to decrease that.

All these little improvements add up. I make the changes and don’t think about it anymore. There is so much temptation and technology in the world today but I think a lot of it comes with a cost. We weren’t designed for all this constant over-stimulation; it can burn us out.

All the best with your return to Peak Health.
