Alkaline!!

From First Magazine:

"Go for 70% alkaline. Aim to fill 70% of your daily diet with nutrient-rich, alkalinizing foods. Top choices include all  veggies; citrus fruits; tomatoes; avocadoes; edamame; lima and navy beans; raw almonds; quinoa; spelt; buckwheat; olive, flaxseed and coconut oil, coconut milk and almond milk. Cook suggests using coconut or almond milk instead of cow's milk."


"For in a deep breathing break. Oxygen is alkalinizing to the body, so the deeper we breathe, the better we are keeping that pH balance," says Cook. "Oxygen feeds all our cells, but most people hold their breath without realizing it." For an alkalinizing boost, pause once every few hours to take a deep breath, feeling our lungs expand as you inhale through your mouth for 5 seconds, then exhale through your nose for another 5 seconds. Cont. for one."

Acidity & Our Body

What I love to do when I get a non-creative minute is read magazine or journal articles on health and nutrition.

In First magazine (3/31/14) there was an interesting article where Michelle Schoffro Cook, Ph.D. was quoted...here is what she and the article stated...

Acid has a corrosive effect on vital organs like the heart, so when the body detects an increase in acid, it diverts resources away from non-vital functions. This stalls slimming in several ways, most significantly by hindering the liver function. Cook notes, "Because the liver is the body's major detoxifying organ, it has to work overtime to filter out acid. Its other functions, like producting enzymes that break down fat, are forced to take a backseat."

Acid also damages glands: "Acidity can impair the thyroid- and that further disrupts fat burning." Cook says. "And acid depletes the pancreas, which regulates blood sugar. The blood sugar swings that result make it easer to gain weight, and harder to lose it."

AS the toxic effects of acid continue to stress the body, symptoms such as tiredness, anxiety, headaches and joint pain set in.

"The body accumulates fat as a way of storing the acidity it can't process. Fat is damage control; when your fat stores are growing, it's a sign of acidic buildup that the body is trying to buffer."

"Every single function of your body will improve when you give it the alkaline diet it needs."

"The liver is freed up to burn fat, the thyroid functions properly so metabolism revs and the pancreas is able to regulate blood sugar."

Cook has even sen people cured of fibromyalgia within one month of going alkaline.

2015, magnesium and stuff

i wish you all a happy, healthy, magical 2015!!!

i'll post more about my resolutions later ;)

a long time ago, i was told by my naturopath (and also a healer!) that it would be a good idea to incorporate magnesium into my daily vitamin/supplement/herb routine.

the other day, my father in law was told by his naturopath that it would be a good idea that he begin to take magnesium as well, so it sparked the thought...that i should blog about the wonder that is magnesium!

So...

What is magnesium?
- A metallic element whose salts re essential nutrients required for more than 300 enzymatic reactions that are necessary for NORMAL CELL FUNCTION! (this can obviously benefit everyone, especially if you've fallen prey to the S.A.D. --sad, american diet.)

-in a woman, not enough magnesium can cause emotional instability, excessive nervous sensitivity with generalized aches and pains and a lower premenstrual pain threshold or what we have labeled as PMS.

In addition to my everyday life, schedules, etc., I'm an avid reader, and observer of the Universe. I don't enjoy talking out of my *WOOHOO* unless I have something to back it up.

Since I am always pulling my research from everywhere and everything I can get my hands on...here's some information from varied sources:

"Severe magnesium deficiencies are rare. They're more likely in people who:

• Have kidney disease
• Have Crohn's disease or other conditions that affect digestion
• Have parathyroid problems
• Take antibiotics or drugs for diabetes and cancer
• Are older adults
• Abuse alcohol  " (from webmd.com)

"Benefits of Magnesium:

 

1. Better sleep - The sleep regulating hormone melatonin is disturbed when Magnesium is deficient. Furthermore, Magnesium brings balance and controls stress hormones. Stress and tension are often reasons why people suffer from insomnia in the first place.

 

2. Relaxes the nervous system - Serotonin, which relaxes the nervous system and elevates mood, is dependent on Magnesium.

 

3. Bigger, stronger muscles - Magnesium allows the body to produce more Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1), which is a major contributor to the growth and strength of muscles. Furthermore, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the cell's energy store, and is created with help from Magnesium.

 

4. Better flexibility - Magnesium loosens tight muscles. Without Magnesium, muscles do not relax properly and cramps occur. Magnesium is important for flexibility, because low Magnesium results in a buildup of lactic acid, causing pain and tightness.

 

5. Bone integrity and strength - Magnesium helps to fix calcium properly. It may blow some people's mind that the calcium supplements they're taking are not only useless, but are actually contributing to osteoporosis! There are actually about eighteen essential nutrients that contribute to bone health; Magnesium is definitely one of the most essential, because it stimulates a particular hormone called calcitonin. And, it also suppresses a hormone called parathyroid that breaks down bone.

 

6. Remineralizes teeth - Magnesium deficiency causes an unhealthy balance of phosphorous and calcium in saliva, which damages teeth.

 

7. Alkalizes the body - Magnesium helps return the body’s pH balance. Magnesium reduces lactic acid, which is partly responsible for post-exercise pain (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).

 

8. Hydrates - Magnesium is a necessary electrolyte essential for proper hydration.

 

9. Helps to relieve constipation - Magnesium can be used to cleanse the bowels of toxins.

 

10. Enzyme function - Enzymes are protein molecules that stimulate every chemical reaction in the body. Magnesium is required to make hundreds of these enzymes work and assists with thousands of others.

 

11. Diabetes - Magnesium enhances insulin secretion, which facilitates sugar metabolism. Without Magnesium, glucose is not able to transfer into cells. Glucose and insulin build up in the blood, causing various types of tissue damage, including the nerves in the eyes.

 

There are many other benefits of Magnesium: It helps prevent stroke, heart disease, period pain, and more."

(http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5473/11-Miraculous-Ways-Magnesium-Heals-Your-Mind-Body.html)

"Sources of Magnesium

Natural sources of magnesium include sea vegetables, leafy vegetables such as spinach, and whole grains that are usually major components of a person’s regular diet. Some other vegetables that can be classified as rich magnesium sources include tomatoes, beet greens, broad beans, lima beans, artichokes, sweet potatoes, buckwheat flour, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, wheat flour, oat bran, barley, cornmeal and chocolate. Also, you can consume dairy products such as milk and yoghurts, as well as non-vegetarian products like fish to acquire magnesium. Whole wheat bread containing bran and germ has twice the magnesium content compared to white bread. Water also has a high magnesium content; hard water has more magnesium than soft water, although hard water is not good for the body, especially the kidneys." 

(https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/minerals/health-benefits-of-magnesium.html)

"Magnesium is farmed out of the soil much more than calcium," Dr. Dean explains. "A hundred years ago, we would get maybe 500 milligrams of magnesium in an ordinary diet. Now we're lucky to get 200 milligrams. People do need to supplement with magnesium." (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/12/08/magnesium-health-benefits.aspx)

~My magnesium education began when I started on the path of removing my amalgam teeth fillings (i had so many :( ) As I was detoxing a LOT to go through the safe removal, I found that I had stopped going to the bathroom ( #2!! ) as much as I used to. I spoke to a beautiful friend of mine, and she mentioned, MAGNESIUM needed to be added to my protocol! It kind of has those enzymatic reactions swish everything about and cause you to go go go! It's a wonderful thing <3

Hope this helped you guys!

Much LOVE and light and Happy, squishy feelings,

alkaline water vs. acidy drinks

I've been researching alkaline vs. acidity for a while now and there's no mistake for which one is better for you. I have been drinking alkaline water for about 5 months now and I feel fantastic, and don't crave coffee, sugary drinks, or need energy jumps throughout the day.

A little article about this, I found here! :

Water is a very powerful tool for improving and maintaining health. Alkaline antioxidant water is unlike any other water because it is more than just “water.” It's a health drink. Daily use of alkaline antioxidant water may be the best form of natural health maintenance and improvement you can adopt.

Structured alkaline antioxidant water contains greater concentrations of ionized H20 molecules which have been restructured through electromagnetic means in a way that creates a greater probability of physiologically desirable “cluster” sizes. This causes more free electrons to be available in the water as well as greater hydration potential. The “free” electrons can act as antioxidants while the six sided or “hexagonal” water molecule clusters enhance the proper hydration of our cells. All of this results in many patients feeling a generalized sense of well-being and improved health when they drink alkaline antioxidant water. These 6-sided clusters found in ionized, structured, alkaline water appear to allow for the fastest internal rehydration possible.

Alkaline antioxidant water is produced through means that favor the development of 6-sided water molecules resulting in what we call hexagonal water. Hexagonal water is water which has undergone hydrogen bonding which favors its peculiar structure and energy state. In water such as regular tap water or water from municipal water sources, you can get structures involving up to 12, 13, 16 or greater number of water molecules. Such water does not promote optimal health in the same way that hexagonally structured water does.

Alkaline antioxidant water can increase the general efficiency of all systems of the body. There are many benefits to this. One of the benefits I appreciate most is that alkaline antioxidant water is many times more hydrating and better tasting that tap water. That's one of the greatest things I have identified because people will drink more water. It's smooth, refreshing, and satisfying.

The percentage of hexagonal units found in water, as well as their stability, appears to depend on a number of factors, including toxin levels, mineral content, motion, and energetic influences that water is exposed to. For example chlorine, fluoride, and many pollutants typically found in municipal water sources decrease the ability of water to form significant numbers of hexagonal units. Tap water typically has a very low percentage of these structures. By switching from tap water to alkaline antioxidant water, one may greatly improve the functioning of the body by supplying it with truly rejuvenating, clean, healthy water.

The hexagonal water affects health by improving the body's ability to use the water effectively. With alkaline antioxidant water, the water is also purified. Substances commonly added to municipal water, such as chlorine, are removed from alkaline antioxidant water before the water is consumed. The alkaline antioxidant water processor removes many harmful toxins from drinking water for good.

Water is a very dynamic substance. When we take the water through the ionization process, we cause changes that occur in a fraction of a second. We create an energetic effect which causes the water to be structured in a way that improves the body's ability to use the water optimally and maximize the benefits of the water.

You get better interaction from vital enzymes, vitamins, structural, and antioxidant molecules because all of these substances operate in a water environment. The better the quality of the water, the better it is for the body.

The effects of this may be seen in many ways including improved sleep, enhanced sense of well-being, better exercise endurance, improved elimination of cellular wastes, clearer thinking, increased overall hydration, less discomfort, better skin health, and enhanced overall health.

People are able to produce alkaline antioxidant water in the comfort of their own homes. Some of the processors used to produce alkaline antioxidant water offer a filtration system that is 50 percent better than what is used in hospital or compounding pharmacies today.

Alkaline antioxidant water is nature's best. It's the kind of water you find flowing freely from many of the world's best natural springs.

Modern lifestyle, diets, and pollution promote acidic metabolism in the typical individual. Having a mild and harmless alkaline influence in the form of water can go a long way in buffering and protecting one's health against the harmful chronic effects of an acidic metabolism. Alkaline antioxidant water can help you resist disease and slow the aging process. In the body, alkaline water helps to buffer a chronic state of acid stress.

This improves the body's ability to maintain good health and proper overall functioning. Therefore we would expect to observe the helpful benefits of increased ionization and alkalinity in a combination which would include the effects of antioxidants, the micro clustering of the water, the alkalinity of the water, and the improved taste and texture of the water.

People often ask me if there is any instance in which the alkaline antioxidant water would be less than beneficial. Individuals with cervical spinal stenosis should not drink alkaline antioxidant water.

If you are a normal individual, I sincerely do not think you could drink too much properly produced alkaline antioxidant water. You should start out with alkalinity at near neutral levels then gradually increase the alkalinity as your body demonstrates tolerance to the alkaline antioxidant water. I have been watching peoples' reactions to alkaline antioxidant water for months and I have not seen anyone have a problem except two patients with cervical stenosis.

If a person starts out slowly and follows the basic guidelines, as well as consults one's physician if he or she is on any type of medication, I believe the water will offer very good and beneficial results. I advise most people to drink about six glasses per day. I believe the proper use of alkaline antioxidant water is the single most important thing that one can do for his or her health.

(The above article appeared in “HEALTH NEWS” - Vol. 18 No. 6, Tel: (800) 597-2585; Web: <www.healthnewsweb.com> - Email: info@healthnewsweb.com

Dr. Raymond Dent states - “Alkaline antioxidant water can help you resist disease and slow the aging process.” - and also, “Alkaline antioxidant water is nature's best. It's the kind of water you find flowing freely from many of the world's best natural springs.”

a new store in flushing!

Interesting article in the Bayside Times, link here!

Article pasted, here:

For those who do not speak Korean, the Erom store near Broadway Station may appear — at first glance — to be a place devoted solely to the sale of bidets.

After all, the name of the European-style plumbing fixtures is the only English-language word adorning the sign over the corner of 164th Street and Northern Boulevard, and a pair of the devices are prominently displayed in the window of a commodious storefront as clean and tidy as porcelain.

Erom is, in fact, a line of Korean-manufactured wellness products, including appliances, foods and cosmetics.

“It’s a well-being store,” shop owner Young Pak said.

In addition to the bidets, which run between $650 and $800, including free installation while the store celebrates its grand opening this month, the other big ticket item at Pak’s shop is the water ionizer, a device that uses an electric current to separate the alkaline and acid found in the magnesium and calcium ions in water.

The wellness industry — including bottlers who may charge more than $4 for 20 ounces of the stuff — tout the health benefits of using water with a high pH level to neutralize acid in the bloodstream, boost metabolism and help the body more effectively absorb nutrients.

While there is no scientific consensus on the claims, alkaline water’s proponents say its benefits are wide-reaching.

“It’s very popular, especially in Korea,” said Pak, who added that cancer patients find alkaline water easier to swallow. “It helps to rehabilitate the body.”

The ionizers, which need to be hooked up to a tap water supply, are not inexpensive.

The Juvenis VII, which Pak said is ideal for a family of five or more, runs in the $3,000 range while the economy-size Juvenis V costs about $2,500.

Aside from the hardware, his store — which may evoke a knowing smile from New Yorkers whose bathrooms are uncomfortably close to the rest of their apartment — is arranged with an orderly stack of cubbies surrounding a cream-colored couch and a station with a kitchen sink.

The shelves each hold an Erom food product — freeze-dried, raw meals with organic ingredients that claim to do everything from fight cancer to help children grow taller.

The kitchen station, which Pak plans to have ready for the store’s April 7 grand opening, will be used to demonstrate pH levels in the city’s tap and show through different tests how the ionizer brings down pH levels.

Pak said he expects to do well with those already familiar with the Erom brand and reputation, adding that the appeal is universal.

“Everyone wants to diet and alkaline water is good for a diet,” he said.

I'M SO EXCITED!

sugar related to cancer

facts:

• the last time i touched a drop of alcohol was in May, celebrating "the end of chemo" which was certainly not my onc's plans.
• the last time i touched sugar/caffeine/meat was in Puerto Rico in December of 2013

I have to say that I thought this path would be more difficult. 

I could leave the meat, I never really cared for it or had a taste for it...

Caffeine...let's just say coffee was my bitch until I decided to drop it like a bad habit, having learned that the immune system tries to fight off the caffeine rather than fight a chronic or upcoming sickness. 

Bye, bye caffeine!

Sugar was the most difficult for me to leave behind, but also-- not as bad as I thought it would be. 

I've been through a major detox journey, complete with mood swings and every kind of healing crisis known to man. 

All of these things add to the acidity in your body, so why would you put your body through that?

I'm so happy that you're here, listening, reading, following, and hopefully learning something.

I wish I could give you more graphic proof, but I message you guys back if you need anything!

distilled water truths

The Truth About Distilled Water:

The below excerpt is from http://rootsofhealthyliving.com/drinking-distilled-water-the-clear-truth/

"Water is the spring of life. We can survive without food for a relatively long time but only a short time without water. It is essential to every part of our health and well being.

Sometimes I wonder what our grandparents would think if they could look around and see us spend our hard earned money on water in a bottle. Why do we do that? Do we think it’s not healthy to drink tap water? Is it just the convenience? Is it because we intrinsically know that water should be clean and free of chemicals? How do we know if there is a difference in the water we purchase? There is spring water, purified water; water with added minerals for taste, and yes even distilled water.

By reading this article you will learn what distilled water is and why so many are turning to it. You will begin to discover the health benefits of distilled water. In this article we will discuss problems with mineral accumulation in the body and the diseases related to it, and how drinking distilled water can help. We will also address how distilled water is an “empty” or “thirsty” water, what this means and why it is important to our health. Finally, we will tackle how much water is really necessary to drink each day.

There are over 700 potentially harmful minerals and chemicals found in our drinking water. Distilling our water removes ALL of them. Distilled Water is the process of heating water and capturing the steam. The steam is than collected back into a container becoming distilled water. This process leaves all other minerals and chemicals behind creating a product that truly is pure water. This steam is simply hydrogen and oxygen or in other words, water and nothing but water.

It is important to consider that our understanding of minerals is incorrect. There is mounting evidence that clearly shows our bodies CAN NOT assimilate inorganic minerals. In fact, the opposite is true. We break them down into small enough particles so our bodies can take them in, but they can’t effectively use them. What happens? Those minerals accumulate in our bodies, building up over time. Think of corrosion on pipes. We are no different. Calcium deposits line our arteries, we develop bone spurs, arthritis can develop where minerals and other toxins have settled on the joints and on and on and on. It is true that we need minerals in our diet. However, we are organic beings and need organic minerals. Minerals found in plant food have been changed from inorganic to organic and are readily assimilated and used by the body. For example, one glass of fresh squeezed orange juice has more usable minerals in it than 30 gallons of water!

Yes! Switching to distilled water will help keep those inorganic minerals from entering the body. That is a huge step toward health, but what about those minerals already there? There is another beautiful truth about distilled water. Because distilled water is nothing but water it is naturally empty or thirsty. It actually pulls into it the properties it comes in contact with. For example, it has been proven that using distilled water when making herbal tea is 30 percent more effective at drawing out the medicinal properties of the herbs than regular tap water. Thirty percent! That is a huge difference. By operating on those same principles, drinking distilled water will draw out those inorganic mineral accumulations in the body, providing relief from pain and improved health over time.

Most Americans walk around chronically dehydrated and don’t even realize it. A good rule of them is to drink your weight in ounces. For an average person, weighing about 130 pounds, a gallon of distilled water a day is not too outrageous. Distilled Water can be purchased very inexpensively at your local grocery store. Many water bottle delivery companies are beginning to offer distilled water as an option. Small counter top distillers are also available online and work really well.
To summarize, chronic dehydration is an epidemic in the United States. Not getting enough water to drink can cause a host of health problems. We can use the empty properties of distilled water to draw out the medicinal properties of herbal tea as well as draw out accumulations of inorganic minerals and other toxins that build up in our body. There are promising studies in regards to Distilled Water and Alzheimer’s, Arthritis, and Heart Disease. Many find water relieves headache pain, helps keep them regular, can help hydrate and soften skin, and helps flush out the lymph system carrying toxins out of the body and can even help with weight loss. So only one question remains…How much water have you had to drink today?"

Gets your thinking, doesn't it?

If you find you're not feeling so hydrated, try a glass of distilled water. I guarantee you will start feeling better pretty quickly!!

"Disease organisms such as those of tuberculosis, cancer, sarcoma, typhoid and others may be observed to succumb when exposed to certain lethal frequencies peculiar to each individual organism, and directed upon them by rays conveying a wide ranges of waves." ~The Smithsonian Institution 1944

Royal Rife and Antoine Bechamp discovered cancer is in fact a pleomorphic fungi that cannot transform into some 16 advanced forms when the body's pH is slightly alkaline.

helpful websites for cancer related issues

(this was me during my 11th chemo..that led into "relapse" which led me to "have to" go through ICE chemo and BEAM chemo and an autologous stem cell transplant. i was too drugged up all the time (obv.!) to use my full mental capabilities to use this research. when i questioned doctors, they asked me if i was one in a snarky attitude. chemo made me stupid and i couldn't do much except be sick to my stomach and i don't wish it on anyone, ever. of course, they're going to tell you you've relapsed-- CHEMO IS NOT THE CURE, it adds more ACID to your already ACIDIC pH balance!)

a little note:

i wish i had known all of this stuff when i got diagnosed. my life would have been changed dramatically as i wouldn't have gone through 9 months of chemo and chosen to boost my immune system and detox my body instead.

http://www.cancertutor.com/


http://naturalnews.com/


http://cancerdecisions.com/



this may help you along your path, whichever one you choose.

while i was forced, scared out of my pants, and pretty much thrown into chemotherapy, i wish i would have used the time to research everything.

what i found out later:

• there are so many other therapies, natural ones, that could be used. of course, the government would deem those therapies as fraudulent, quackery...and say that there is no proof. there was and there is proof-- but the government has been going into true healers practices since before 1950 and getting rid of all the paperwork and case studies. do they want you to get well, or to be a lifetime consumer of the medical b.s. of brand new medicine until you drop dead? 
• the world is overpopulated and you are just a statistic.
• doctors make bonuses when they refer you to chemo!!
• instead of boosting your immune system to fight off cancer, or any other sickness, they purposely add chemo, which is acid, so it could kill off ALL cells (good and bad.) more chemo = more relapses.
• The American Medical Association is a labor union.
• GE is a member of the cancer industry and own NBC.
• why would they tell you chemo is good? because if they don't, all the Cancer Societies that take good people's money for research would go under, and billions a year would be left to the people. 
• the AMA/FDA cannot patent and sell something that is natural!!

please research, 

you have time

and

you matter.

what i know NOW!

like any normal person,

i struggled with my weight

i remember weighing 116 pounds at 16

but having a pretty much on the go fast food diet

especially when i got to college.

i gained the weight that 

everyone gains when they begin

a new relationship 

and at one point hit 170 pounds, 

though people don't like to believe me. I have proof.

what i wish i had known was

how to treat my body better

and how to FEED my body better.

it craved nourishment and i didn't know.

the photo way above was me in January 2010...

i'm just going to leave this tiny.

2006. 160 pounds i would say...

no health problems EVER!

always active, working, on the go..

my diet could have been way better!

was on birth control...

stopped that right after this photo was taken

because it was making me way too sick.

i had no idea about cleansing and detoxes, 

or anything of the sort.

i ate when i was hungry and the food

was never nutrient dense.

(above taken January 2010)

i don't like showing bikini photos to anyone

but i feel as if this proves a point.

someone "fat" can be totally healthy

someone "skinny" can be totally sick.

ironically, i was gaining weight before

i was diagnosed.

sometimes i think the diagnosis was wrong.

everyone's got cancer cells inside them every day

but they "got me" and scared me.

also ironically, i had an pneumonia, 

which made me lose weight 

pretty much the second before they diagnosed me. 

i was around 140 pounds in november 2012.

 ^ this picture was taken at the end of 2011.
healthy, happy. eating great food that was good for me.
who knew?

^ right before diagnosis, the beginning of pneumonia...
still 140 pounds.

^ during chemo and right before stem cell transplant...
a steady 136 pounds the whole time going through chemo...

because of the steroids and the fact that they wouldn't allow me fruits or vegetables.

at all.

^ and finally,
feeling happy and healthy again
128 pounds, 6 months post stem cell transplant
finally having learned the wonders of detox,
back to my regular food routine
and wanting to learn more.


so do your research
your body is your temple
we are just energy in this shell
but how will you spread your positive energy
if you're sick?

love me,

health mondays: what they don't tell us

• all cancers are a form of lymphoma
• cancer cells cannot form tissue
• the tumor is not the cancer
• cancer cells don't threatens patients lives unless it spreads
• cancer cells reside in tumor tissue
• tumor size has "nothing to do with curing cancer- it's like a check engine light is on after the problem develops"

• "when our digestive system doesn't function correctly we're not able to reap the full benefits of the food we eat. Aside from digestion, our system must be able to eliminate toxins efficiently." if not, it could be problematic because exposed to toxic environment which produces inflammation and then creates toxic overload.

• cleansing the colon helps bring the acid/alkaline ratio back into balance allowing friendly bacteria to thrive while inhibiting disease-causing organisms. almost 80% of our immune system resides in our gut, colon and intestines !

(if you haven't yet, start cleansing now! a cleanse, healthy eating, exercise and perhaps colonics is a surefire way to get your immune system back on track <3 )

be well,

Heat and Cancer

Bits and Pieces of these excerpts are taken from the awesome book, Cancer:: Step Outside the Box:

Hippocrates once said that illness not cured by heat is incurable.

So I have been wondering if there is any truth to this but I haven't researched that much further into it.

"Hyperthermia gives cancer a triple whammy.
1- removing accumulation of toxic chemicals that cause cancer.
2- improves circulation so that tissues are both nourished with oxygen and flushed of acidic wastes.
3- weakening or even killing cancer cells that have a lower tolerance for heat than healthy cells.

Dr. Josef Issels stated, "Artificially induced fever has the greatest potential in the treatment of many diseases including cancer." "

I also wrote down that a vitamin c IV drip kills cancer cells while leaving normal cells alone and strengthens the immune system at the same time.

Does anyone have any stories about any of these? I would love to hear them!

If you do, please post.

Lots of love!

your immune system, detoxing and cancer

What Foods Help Your Immune System:

• sesame tahini
• dark chocolate
• pumpkin seeds
• turmeric
• melatonin
• broccoli (has indol-3 carbind)
• aloe vera
• astragalus
• essiac tea
• (any organic fruit and vegetable, especially if they are juiced)
• garlic (stronger and faster acting than any antibiotic on the market)

What Activities Help your Immune System?:
exercising, playing in the sun without chemical-laden sunscreen, swimming in the ocean or sea, sweating, doing things that make you happy, dancing, rebounding.

Where is your Immune System Located?: 
about 80% of your immune system is located in your GUT!! That's right-- stomach, liver and intestines, and colon. Be kind to them!

How to Feel Better When You're Sick: 
starve the parasites in your system that are making you sick!
 Here's how!:

• no alcohol, bread, dairy, vinegars, mushrooms, sugar, refined or processed anything! (that's what feeds the parasites)
• kill the parasites by using pau d'arco, cloves, cinnamon sticks, fennel, bee propolis as herbs in tea or in food. they don't like these things.
• oxygenate blood-- organic olive oil, flax seed oil, seasweeds, and spirulina in organic juices and smoothies
• alkalise your system: water with lemon, or distilled water with lots of lemon!
• boost your immune system: cats claw, echinacea, essiac tea, astragalus, chlorella, (all purify blood, antibacterial properties) maybe you can throw in a cleanse (I have used Life Renewal's My First Cleanse and then Paragone. You just take them as directed and wait to poop. It's not crazy at all. If you want crazy, I can show you pictures, lol)
• build up the good guys-- use a quality probiotic, which allows good bacteria into your gut so it fights off the bad bacteria you may have lost from a less than stellar diet
• detox- cleanses at health food stores, hydrotherapy sessions, sauna sessions (SWEATING!), rebounding (jumping on the trampoline!) 
• always drink a LOT of water to get your bowels moving so everything goes back into sync. you should be able to poop easily 1-2 times PER DAY! if you're not doing this at all, I would recommend a series of hydrotherapy sessions- they're super safe, and they get rid of everything stuck in your intestines/gut.

At this time, I've researched that it's best to up your immune system by fresh, organic produce, juicing, and all natural veggie broths that you make yourself. Nothing from a can.

So, You've Heard of Superfoods, Right?

They raise your immune system AND seratonin production, and LOWER inflammation. (that last part is key!) They also enhance sexuality, cleanse and alkalize the body.

Not too shabby, right?

What products count as superfoods?

• cacao
• goji berries
• maca powder
• hemp
• spirulina
• bee products
• camu berry

Did you go through hell with chemo the way I did? With all Cancer Patients, or even HEALTHY patients-- detox is key. Aside from pooping, hydrotherapy, colonics and sweating there are so many things you can do! Don't count out intestinal cleanses, as well as cleanses for the liver, gallbladder, parasites and DEFINITELY chemical and heavy metal cleanses!! 

• Change your teeth fillings if their amalgam...mercury!!
• notice the chem trails in our skies? those aren't supposed to be there, they're spraying chemicals on us and nature.
• mercury in fish
• fluoride
• pollution in a heavily populated area-- those are all things cleanses are NECESSARY for.

I want to ask you one question: How many products do you put on you daily? Ready?

• you brush your teeth and gargle with mouthwash-- how many ingredients are in those?
• how many ingredients are in your deodorant?
• how many ingredients in your makeup, each product you use on your face?
• how many ingredients in your perfume/cologne/hairspray/hair products?
• what about hand and body lotions? how many ingredients do you recognize in those?
• did you wash your clothes with DETERGENT and FABRIC SOFTENER and DRYER sheets? What's in those?
• You didn't even drink anything yet- what are you drinking?
• Did you eat yet? What are you eating?
• Do you smoke?
• Do you drink alcohol?
• Did you walk around outside today?
• Ever take medicine? Antibiotics? Over the counter meds?
• What about vaccinations?

Then answer me why "cancer" is now 1 out of every 3 people instead of 1 out of 1000s?? Isn't it weird that right after the development of the "American Medical Association" was born the Pharmaceutical corporations? Isn't it weird that in the early 1900s during this, HYDROTHERAPY MACHINES were pulled OUT OF DOCTORS OFFICES??

How come very few people know what enemas and colonics/hydrotherapy really do?

They don't want you to know.

Isn't it weird that very few people died from c. back then? Do you think it's ok for someone to squish your boobs or lymphnodes until you're in screaming pain, or vaccum your nipples to see if you discharge? How about you stick an arm or a penis in one of those machines and tell me what it does to that body part? Last I heard, no one should be hurting their bodies in barbaric ways, because THAT causes problems!

Answer me, why all the testing to see if you have cancer, and what does it really do to you?

Answer me, do you know all the side effects from each and every medicine you take?

Do you know that cancer is over-diagnosed for statistical improvement so that people like us can feel safe with what the doctors are telling us?

Did you ever hear a doctor say that the chemo being done to your body is curing your cancer? Why do they only use the word RESPONDING? WTF? Because they don't know if you will be cured-- but if you build up your immune system instead of killing it with chemo, and then detox religiously, your body may have a shot.

I know not a lot of people will care to read this, or respond. Those of you who have, thank you. Those of you who think all that stuff up there is just fine, I'm sorry. If you come out of your bubble and research just a little bit you will see that it isn't.
