big pharma industry

obviously, i don't believe that chemo and all these medications will ever cure the root cause of the problem, because t's true...how would the pharma industry make their money?

before you jump down my throat, did you ever wonder why pharmaceutical reps (those pushing the meds on doctors, who make a buttload of money every time they write out a prescription?) make more $$$ off the bat than TEACHERS do?

So I figured, let me look up some people that are mentioned as "whistleblowers", God Love Them, and see what they had to say...
these are the videos I'm watching right now...

research, research, research

i always tell everyone to do their own research and to respect their own bodies. after all, you know your own body better than any one else does. i am not a doctor, do not have a medical degree, but probably read at least one book a day. so whatever i write, or learn, is from my own vast research, and you should seriously do your own <3

like i said, i began reading the book, Tox-Sick by Suzanne Somers and have no idea why it was poopoo'd by some "medical" people. Obviously, Suzanne writes from her experiences, point of view, and states it outright. However, there are doctors, scientists, medical journal article info in her book that prove this. People who have not picked up and glanced at the inside of the book agree with panicking medical people writing the articles...I'm sure many have not read Tox-Sick either.

So for the next few weeks, I want to break down different parts of the book (which i've wrote in entirely, by the way...) for you guys, based on my experiences and opinions.

So, what I wanted to talk about:

"One of the most extensive studies of Americans' toxic burden was funded by the Environmental WOrking Group, and conducted at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Researchers tested nine adults, none of whom worked in industries that would expose them to high levels of environmental poisons; well-known journalist Bill Moyers was one of them. All were tested for the presence of 210 contaminants that have been globally recognized as persistent pollutants (like DDT). The results of the participants' blood and urine showed he presence of 167 of the 210 contaminants, with an average of 91 in any given person. Each person tested had an average of:
-53 brain chemicals that have been linked to cancer.
-63 compounds toxic to the central nervous system, including the brain.
-58 compounds toxic to the endocrine (hormonal) system.
-55 compounds that are toxic to the immune system and frequently lead to autoimmunity (fibromyalgia, lupus, multiple sclerosis) and an impaired ability to fight infections."

So imagine, the air we breathe, the water we drink (if bottled or tap), and then everything you're adding to your body in your "food", makeup, hair stuff, lotions, nail polish, when you clean your home, when you wash your clothes...

then it's not hard to wonder why we are so toxic.

i used to wonder why so many 28-35 year olds had hodgkin's lymphoma.

when i would ask my oncologist how the lymphatic system worked, he had no idea. said i got cancer because it's just a freak thing. I was not allowed to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, or go get colon hydrotherapy.

i am not making this stuff up.

so i didn't know anything about the lymphatic system and hodgkin's lymphoma or detoxing (except that alcoholics or people addicted to drugs did this), or cleanses, until I was done with AVD chemo, ICE chemo, and then the worst chemo that nearly killed me (i think it did, actually) followed up with a stem cell transplant. all these i was scared into doing because my oncologist kept telling me i had 3 months to live. who wants to give up their life? so i trusted them and believed them, but the "system" failed me.

If i had known then what I know now, or knew a year ago, I never would have gone that path and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies.

But there are so many things we can do to cleanse the body...
-sweat
-eat better (no processed foods, sugars, alcohol)
-vitamins and supplements that will help promote detox (spirulina, chlorella, activated charcoal, etc.)
-chew some cloves daily (kills parasites along with...)
-...eating some garlic daily (sooo many benefits!)
-colon hydrotherapy (removes harmful buildup of toxins from colon and intestines.
-essiac tea (cleanses blood)
-rebounding (moves lymph)
-dry brushing (moves lymph)
-dandelion tea (cleanses)

I've done all these things...a lot, some every day. and i'm wondering...if other people knew just a little bit of my entire story, maybe it would help.

Fluoridation (eew)

"Fluoridation (p.116)

Fluoride, a compound that protects against tooth decay, was added to many municipal was added to many municipal water systems beginning in 1945. At present, an estimated 2/3 of the American people live in communities with fluoridated water. While fluoridation has reduced cavities, rates of other orders have increased, including damage to the bones, thyroid gland, and immune function. As a result, several European countries, icluding Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Germany and Belgium have discontinued treating water with fluoride. France and Norway never started it. In the U.S. Kansas, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Hawaii have recently rejected proposals for fluoridization, and in 1998 voters in Santa Cruz refused to allocate money for fluoridation following a mandatory law passed by the California legislature.

Fluoride, a compound of calcium and fluoride that occurs naturally, is used in Oriental medicine as a tranquilizer. Prozac, the modern anti-depressant drug, utilizes fluoride as an active ingredient. In food, fluorine naturally occurs in rice, rye, parsley, cabbage, sea vegetables, and bancha twig tea."

Alleged Attacks By Fluoride:

• damages bones
• linked to a lower IQ
• produces Alzheimer like symptoms
• it's a byproduct of the A-bomb 

wow.

that's why it sucks.

what do you think?

caffeine-truth!

"Caffeine (p.45)

Caffeine, the active ingredient in coffee, tea, soft drinks, cocoa, chocolate, and 2000 nonprescription drugs, is the world's most consumed drug. 80% of adults in the U.S. consume it daily in one form or another. Flobally, tea is the worlds most popular beverage, followed by coffee and soft drinks. One cup of tea contains about half as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. A 12- oz. can of coke or pepsi contains about as much caffeine as a cup of tea or half a cup of coffee.

Multiple Effects of Caffeine:
...Metabolically, it takes the liver about 5 hours to break down half a given amount of caffeine. Absorbed quickly in the intestine, caffeine crosses all CELL MEMBRANES and is rapidly diffused into the saliva, semen breast milk and amniotic fluid. Caffeine revs up the brain, stimulating mental focus, productivity, and physical performance.
HOWEVER, in large amounts, caffeine produces the opposite effect, inhibiting neuron firing and acting as a depressant. Caffeine causes the heart to beat more rapidly, constricts some blood vessels and dilates others, and stimulates some muscles to contract and others to expand. Caffeine can curb the appetite, cause weight loss and serve as a laxative. It increases urine production and can stress the kidneys.
While caffeine RELEASES fat stored in cells, "caffeine may actually make it harder to eat a balanced, healthy diet." In medical studies, it is associated with increased binge eating, PMS, and possible birth defects and impaired development of children.
Decaf, meanwhile, is weakly linked with raising cholesterol, and he solvent processing method, using strong chemicals like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, may pose risks though it has been approved by the FDA.
Habitual coffee drinkers commonly suffer from withdrawal symptoms, including tiredness, irritability, and grogginess in the morning before they have their first cup of coffee. Caffeine dependence, withdrawal, and addiction were not recognized until recently.
In writing his book, Braun concludes that he has become more conscious of caffeine's strong, potentially harmful effects. While he still drinks coffee, he is more mindful and takes periodic "caffeine holidays" of one or two weeks at a time."

my 'miracles' project

the problem that i am having:

i would love to go back to work as a school counselor.

reasons...

• i am sometimes bored at home (i can keep myself busy, but it's not the same anymore)
• i miss having to hyper-organize everything
• i want to be able to talk about interesting days
• the money wouldn't be a bad thing
• i would love to use the diploma on my wall
• it would help open the doors to other opportunities

when did things go wonky...

• one person in the d.o.e who will remain nameless, decided to execute a harassment agenda on the entire school and i was one of his "victims".
• that person told me that if i left the school he would give me a good letter of recommendation because i didn't belong there.
• even though i was being harassed and bribed, he decided to "terminate" me based on one bad "d.o.e. grade" that the superintendent signed off on
• that paper clearly noted, from the state of new york that it was NOT to be used for guidance counselors.

why did they go wonky...

• i have no idea.
• this person had to "step down" from his position a few months later, because he harassed the daughter of an NYPD detective!
• i lost my "case" and even though i spent the money to get a copy of the taped transcript, I NEVER GOT IT...
• possible conspiracy theory?

alright, miracles.

let's get started!

Seven Advantages of Squatting

1. Makes elimination faster, easier and more complete. This helps prevent "fecal stagnation," a prime factor in colon cancer, appendicitis andinflammatory bowel disease.
2. Protects the nerves that control the prostate, bladder and uterus from becoming stretched and damaged.
3. Securely seals the ileocecal valve, between the colon and the small intestine. In the conventional sitting position, this valve is unsupported and often leaks during evacuation, contaminating the small intestine.
4. Relaxes the puborectalis muscle which normally chokes the rectum in order to maintain continence.
5. Uses the thighs to support the colon and prevent straining. Chronic straining on the toilet can cause hernias, diverticulosis, and pelvic organ prolapse.
6. A highly effective, non-invasive treatment for hemorrhoids, as shown by published clinical research.
7. For pregnant women, squatting avoids pressure on the uterus when using the toilet. Daily squatting helps prepare one for a more natural delivery.

ear candling, eew.

(top is left ear, bottom photo is right ear)

i can' tell you how frustrating it was
not being able to go to a doctor
and have the wax removed from my ears.

my doctors and oncologists didn't allow me...
then after my stem cell transplant,
i FINALLY went to the ear nose and throat doctor.

he didn't want to remove the wax from my ears, either!

so i thought, what the hell?
and complained to one of my dearest friends.

she recommended ear candling,
that she had done it
and it was not a big deal:
no pain, just some crackling.
the heat draws the wax out!!

so here's the deal:

• you put a hollowed out "candle" in your ear while your laying your head on one side on a flat surface.
• the person helping you light (matches, people) the top end of the "candle".
• there's a bowl of water waiting nearby.
• when it looks like the ash from the "candle" is about to fall, the person snips off the end with a scissor, into the bowl.
• the person helping you will tell you when your "candle" is close to the bottom, and inform you when it's done.

all the snap crackle and pop is worth it- it doesn't hurt at all!

so sorry to be gross, but that's what had come out of my ears (after 2 years of buildup...pretty damn yucky)

you are to repeat ear candling every 6 months :)

benefits of ear candling:

• include relieving tinnitus (ringing in the ears),
•  helping to relieve sinus pain and pressure, 
• assisting with headaches, 
• relieving severely itchy ears (often caused by yeast, mold or dairy allergies)
• improved lymphatic fluid flow through the body, 
• improved color perception
• Acts as a catalyst to clear nerve endings & promote healing

i've read different things, like the "powers that be" or the FDA, deem this illegal. 

um, why?

 

how can it be dangerous if someone is watching you while the candle is lit in your ear?

isn't it more dangerous to drink? to cross a busy street? to take prescription medicine?

how can something that's been around since biblical times be dangerous? crazy people.

maybe the "benefits" work! duh.

gotta love the people that say "wax will drip into your ears" (it doesn't-- it's not that kind of candle.), it won't work (HELLO, SEE ABOVE PHOTOS!).

maybe not everything is quackery. 

this DEFINITELY isn't!!

about mucus.

This article from here!

Whenever my nose gets stuffy and my cough a little phlegm-like, I realize it is time to clean up my diet with some anti-inflammatory foods. Mucus is produced in the body as a defense mechanism against toxins, viruses and bacteria and dually cushions and protects the bodies cells in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, visual and auditory systems in humans.

So, while mucus is important in our day-to-day bodily functions, when you start to notice its existence, you’re body’s defenses are up against something and it’s time for you to help them out. The following 5 anti-inflammatory foods help to reduce mucus in your system and restore your body’s balance.

1. Pumpkin Seeds

Traditional Chinese medicine utilizes pumpkin seeds help to regulate the flow of excess mucus. Whether this is sound advice or not is up to your own trial and error, and there is little to lose in the process, as pumpkin seeds carry plenty of other health benefits.

2. Onion

In one study, evidence showed that quercetin, a compound found in onions, may help treat cell-derived allergic inflammatory diseases. In addition to reducing inflammation, quercetin has also exhibited the potential for treating chronic airway diseases by attenuating mucus production.

3. Ginger

Ginger has been shown strengthen the immune system’s response to inflammation associated with asthma. Ginger is a panacea of sorts and is a powerful detoxifying agent that targets the underlying imbalances that lead to mucus overload in the body. It is a detoxificant at heart and an effective one at that.

4. Pineapple

The pineapple fruit may be rough on the outside, but it bears sweet benefits beneath the skin. Pineapple’s bromelain allows it to reduce mucus in the throat and is commonly used as a technique after throat and sinus operations to get rid of mucus.

5. Agar

Agar moistens dryness, dissolves phlegm and mucus in the throat and helps to jumpstart bowels.

beets, the properties and the juice

i love juicing beets.
there isn't only the health benefits
but the beauty benefits as well..
(lip stain! cheek stain! stain on your hands! stains on your counters! lol)

if you do juice a beet, please keep in mind that if your pee or poop turn pink afterwards for a few days, it's ok!! that means it's working as a thorough detox through your liver and the rest of your system!

benefits of beets:

• Beets contain sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and phosperous! They are also considered a fiber food and contain vitamins A and C as well as niacin
•  Beets contain folic acid which is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells
• Studies have shown that beets guard against cancer, especially colon cancer.
• . Medical studies have also shown that including beets in your diet helps protect a body against heart disease.

gotta love beets...

in my beet juice (i usually juice half a beet at a time...) i add carrots, green apples and ginger usually!!

try it-- you won't be disappointed!

antibiotics

"In recent years, research has shows that antibiotics can interfere with the production of red blood cells, the metabolism of vitamin B-12, and kill benign or beneficial bacteria in the intestines that synthesize vitamin K, biotin, riboflavin, panthothenate, and pyridozine. These nutrients are all associated with proper immune function and protection against disease. Side-effects associated with antibiotic use and misuse include diarrhea, rashes, fever, allergic reactions, hemolytic anemia, bleeding, bone marrow toxicity, and disorders of the kidneys, liver, and central nervous system. The rapid spread of candida albicans and other acute infections has been associated with chronic antibiotic use that has disrupted the normal homeostasis in the digestive system and enabled the selection of pathogenic strains of yeast, fungi, bacilli, and other microorganisms."

UM, DUH.

Try helping your immune system and eat natural food and see what happens before you turn to ridiculous antibiotics.

Prescriptions are what doctors have been trained to give you and they will never to get to the root of your problem.

hippocratic oath and a rant

i know i must have posted this before, but it endlessly drives me crazy...

this part of the hippocratic oath:

"I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.

I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.

But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts."

so the Greek in me understands this. the HUMAN i am understands this.

what's perplexing is the amount of bullshit doctors are giving us today...poisoning us to DEATH with chemotherapy, radiation, and other drugs and then having the gall to say the CANCER did it?

when we know for a fact that chemo is poison, or your asses wouldn't be walking around us injecting us in hazmat suits and gloves...

but this is what we do now. put poisons in everything, poison people through drugs, and then poison their minds as well, thinking that it will help us, cure us, when all it's doing is speeding up our demise.

i'm not naive, but i was so drugged up during chemo, i was dumb as fuck. 

when my onc. suggested an allo transplant without even pushing to go for more biopsies to see what was going on inside my body...i had at least one onc who pushed me to go for a biopsy.

the third one i saw told me, oh we wouldn't even have PUT YOU THROUGH AN AUTO STEM CELL TRANSPLANT!

really???? did i tell you guys that she then had the audacity to tell me that there's 100s of clinical trials i can do before i get to the point of an allogenic transplant. indefinitely being poisoned, as a guinea pig, every two weeks, and she even said i can do this through my inevitable pregnancy (because my body was strong when they tested me)...

even though the other doctors said i was likely to menopause immediately after my stem cell transplant.

i told that oncologist that she would never touch me if i ever became pregnant. (i swear, i would rip someone's head off at the thought of poisoning an innocent soul??)

also, my husband tried to fight this very special onc. by saying, my wife is not a guinea pig.

thus began our search for knowledge.

so please, ask me anything.

know that i will NEVER do chemo, radiation or any other kind of transplant ever again.

please. PLEASE. educate yourselves. 

this is YOUR life. not your ONCs life! 

you can't possibly get better with poison, in sterile environments. 

how do we not see this?

i'm not forcing you to go through what i did, i've chosen my path.

we all have to choose our own paths, but do this wisely. 

think about the ones you love, and think about YOU and YOUR LIFE!

you. have. time!

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://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.

hazardous ingredients on your body

you wouldn't want to harm this cute, fluffy bunny, would you? (i took this picture in my backyard a few years ago)

so why would you even think to harm yourself?

What to Watch OUT for in your beauty/soap/lotion products:

• Parabens-- "are synthetic preservatives. The cosmetics industry stands strongly behind the belief that parabens are safe, but a growing number of reputable studies say otherwise. FOUND IN: shampoo's, conditioners, styling products, soaps, body washes, moisturizers, shaving creams and gels, cosmetics and toothpastes. LINKED WITH: acute and chronic health hazards including skin toxicity, endocrine disruption, organ toxicity, cancer, reproductive toxicity, and environmental toxicity. 
• Phthalates: "on ingredient lists, they are disguised as FRAGRANCE. They're used as solvents and to "fix" fragrance to make the aroma last longer, enhance skin penetration, lubricate other ingredients, and keep nail polish from chipping. FOUND IN: Any product with synthetic fragrance may contain phthalates. Look for products with natural fragrances from plants and essential oils and those that disclose the sources of the fragrance. LINKED WITH: cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity and neurodevelopmental disorders, toxicity of the brain, kidneys, liver and lungs, and birth defects. Also, toxic to the environment.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate/Sodium Laureth Sulfate: " are used because they're cheap and they work well as surfactants, making products lather up nicely. Like all surfactant detergents, they remove oils effectively, but they do so indiscriminantly on the skin, which can cause dryness and contact dermatitis. FOUND IN: anything that lathers! Mouthashes and soaps included. LINKED WITH: lower the skin's immunological response, skin inflammation, skin irritation, thickening of the skin, cancer. *NOTE* While the FDA 'encourages' manufacturers to remove the contaminants, the agency hasn't established a limit for allowable levels in cosmetics and there are no laws requiring them to be removed.  The two most common contaminants are: I,4-dioxaine (portable carcinogen linked with other serious problems such as reproductive and developmental effects as well as being a persistent toxic pollutant in the environment.) Nitrosamines: (compounds are believed to cause cancer in humans because they are known carcinogens in animals)
• Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA):  a stabilizer in cosmetics. LINKED WITH: allergies, contact dermatitis, kidney damage, reproductive and fetal effects.
• Formaldehyde: preservative, carcinogenic. A.K.A: Diazolidinyl Urea- found in moisturizers, sunscreens, conditioners, body washes, cleansers, styling products. LINKED TO: cancer, mutagenic effects, allergic reaction, skin toxicity, neurotoxicity in the forms of brain and nervous system. A.K.A. Imidazolidinyl Urea- found in fce and body moisturizers, feminine products, cosmetics (all). BIGGEST LINK: cell and skin toxicity. Dimethyl-dimethyl hydantoin: linked to irritation of eyes skin and lungs, and organ toxicity. Quarternium-15: face and body washes, shampoos and conditioners. LINKED TO: allergic reaction, skin sensitization, birth defects, skin toxicity, endocrine disruption. 
• Propylene Glycol
• Toluene: nail polishes. LINKED TO: severe irritation of eyes, skin, and lungs, central nervous system damage, kidney and liver damage, developmental effects, birth defects and brain damage.
• Talc: deodorants, antiperspirants, body powders, cosmetics, eye shadows, powdered concealers, blush, bronzers, sunscreens and SPF products. LINKED TO: asbestos poisoning, cancer
• Diethanolamine (DEA), Monoethanolamine (MEA) , Triethanolamine (TEA): all toxic to the liver and kidneys, and so much worst.

if you don't believe me, you can always do the research yourself-- which i highly recommend!

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
• sea vegetables
• medicinal mushrooms

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. 

outta my mind...

there are so many notebooks i've filled with a gaggle of information from medical, spiritual, new age, self help, and history book that it's hard to keep my mouth shut after having gone through hell with "the medical field".

for example-- being stuck home in the snow does not inspire me to sit on the couch and just watch movies all day (even though i do watch movies.) there is a lot of research that i've been doing, ironically even way before i was diagnosed with stage 2 hodgkin's lymphoma.

i've traveled to 25 or so countries. the picture above is me examining "clay baths" in Dominica. i've always been a health nut but i still have no idea what i want to do with my life! i am a certified school counselor, m.s. though.

so this is what i know that i've probably already stated.

get educated-- and sometimes you have to educate yourself.

i know that all of these are good for the lymph system:

• acupuncture
• massage
• any  kind of moving, like dancing!
• water, lots. stay very hydrated!
• detox! any kind you can, even more than one at a time
• yoga
• meditation
• deep breathing
• clay baths
• lymphatic drainage massage
• chiropractic appointments
• ear candling, too much wax in your ear slows down your lymph
• plenty of veggies
• plenty of fruits (both of these raw, especially melon and berries to keep the lymph moving)
• rebounding!
• oil pulling
• loose clothes
• castor oil packs
• herbs
• vitamin c! esp. in iv drips!
• oxygen to the cells
• frankincense oil on the feet and chest
• so much more!

i'm always open to question, and i am thankful that i get to answer all of yours! 

thanks for sticking around, i have so much more to share with you!

what causes cancer?

Linda Clark's Get Well Naturally: p.219

What causes cancer?

1. J.R. Davidson, M.D.: "I decided to make the assumption that cancer was a deficiency disease and to follow this line of research wherever it might lead me.... In 10 years of experiments with white mice it was possible to observe cancer in rapid development during several generations, a thing which could not be done in the case of human patients....One strain I fed on a diet of high vitamin content and the fourth generation was a fine, healthy animal with no trace of cancer whatever....[Another strain] I fed on a very poor diet, and at the end of the fourth generation...I succeeded in developing a strain of mice with 100 per cent cancer. Then taking the offspring of this strain, I fed them a high vitamin diet and eventually developed a strain which would resist cancer....This established to my satisfaction...that cancer is directly dependent on diet..." (Cancer, A Nutritional Deficiency, Reprint No.18, Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee 3, Wisconsin.)
2. Two teenagers, in joint research at Yeshiva University, also uncovered information that cancer is linked with nutritional deficiency. The research was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Robert D. Barnard, a consultant to the Cancer research division of the Department of Health, New York City, and was read to the Fifth International Congress on Nutrition. The conclusion of their investigations was summed up: "...that cancer is merely a local manifestation of a bodywide-deficiency and can sometimes be treated by feeding patients substances that accelerate cell growth." (New York Times, September 3, 1960.)
3. Other factors found by investigation to contribute to cancer are:

1. viral infections
2. trauma (accidental or surgical injury)
3. hormone imbalance
4. radiation
5. malnutrition
6. constant irritation of latent bacterial (and spirochetal) infections and chemical irritations.

"Alexander Berglas, member of the Cancer Research Foundation of the Pasteur Institute, indicates that anything which serves as constant irritation is capable of causing cancer. He states as examples, 'Irritation and deficiency factors ill cause the regulatory mechanisms to fail'...factors such as 'industrial noxae' (poisons), denatured nutrition, artificial fertilizers, production of adulterated foods, accumulation of insecticides in foodstuffs." (Report: The Public Wants to Know Independent Citizens Research Foundations, 71 West 23rd street, New York City.)

4. Smoking, air pollution, and stress have also been found to be contributing factors.

5. D.T. Quigley, M.D., late of Omaha, Nebraska, and a cancer specialist says, "One of the few things we do know at the present time about cancer is that it is a disease which follows another disease. It is never primary, but always secondary. It never grows on healthy tissues, but always on previously diseased tissues. The part of a body on which a cancer grows has a special soil on which the invader finds a favorable environment. If the soil is not prepared in advance, the cancer simply cannot and will not take root and grow....Whether the immediate cause of cancer may be ultimately found to be a virus, a fungus, a bacillus, or a chemical compound makes little difference in the question of prevention. The important fact is that the diseased area on which the cancer finds its suitable soil must not be allowed to exist. By the prevention of locally diseased areas in the body, we may prevent cancer." (The National Malnutrition, Milwaukee 3, Wisconsin: Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, 1943.)

In 1943, Dr. Quigley showed many slides at a meeting of the American Academy of Applied Nutrition, of patients before and after surgical removal of cancer. He said that in over 30 years of experience, not one of his patients who had followed his dietary recommendations had had recurrences of cancer!

6. Irritation. There is no such thing as a common 'carcinogenic' factor- the mechanism of action of 'carcinogenic substances; being always and solely a matter of constant irritation....Irritation and deficiency factors will cause the refulatory mechanisms to fail...." (alexander Berglas, Cancer: Nature, Cause and Cure, Paris :Pasteur Institute 1957.)

Some Specific Irritants (Carcinogens)

SUGAR

Albert Brandt, reporter: "There is a great deal of evidence connecting the excessive consumption of sugar, regined or not, with cancer. Novel prize-winner Dr. Otto Meyerhoff of the University of Pennsylvania Medical School called attention to 'the appetite of tumors for sugar' and suggested that the growth of cancerous tissue might possibly be stopped if biochemists could find a way of curing this appetite." (Refined Sugar Can Wreck Your Health, Reprint, Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee 3, Wisconsin.)

X RAYS

"Some states have outlawed the use of fluoroscopy in the fitting of shoes. The United States Public Healh Service has recommended that the widespread use of the photo-chest X Ray survey be discontinued. The hazards of x-ray exposure were emphasized by measurements reported from the Department of Radiobiology at the Massachusetts General Hospital." (The New England Journal of Medicine, January 29, 1959, p.197.)

The American Public Health Association recommends that before submitting to any examination you should ask the doctor these questions:

• Is the examination necessary?
• Who is to make the examination?
• Has he received formal training in radiology?
• Is the assisting technician certified or qualified by formal training?

(Changing Times, February 1959.)

"Xrays should definitely be avoided during the early months of pregnancy, four experts warned. This means that they should be avoided whenever possible in at least the first three months, and there should be no such thing as "routine" x-rays....It has recently been discovered that one of the largest doses to the reproductive organs is received in the dental chair where 15 to 20 exposures are shot in a sitting position and the rays are directed downward toward the pelvis." (Science News Letters, August 22, 1959. p. 118.)

"Dr. Milton T. Edgerton of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, presented data at the National Cancer Conference in Minneapolis showing that in more than eight of every ten cases of thyroid cancer n children under 17 years of age, the patient had received substantial x-ray exposure of the head, neck or chest region years earlier for some non-cancerous condition such as acne, sinusitis or enlarged thymus gland.  These exposures Dr. Edgerton said, are very many times more severe than those received in chest x-ray and in dental diagnosis. The interval between the x-ray and in dental diagnosis. The interval between the x-ray treatment and the development of thyroid cancer, he said, ranged from about three to twelve years, with the average around eight. The data suggest, he added, that the thyroid gland of infants and children is markedly more susceptible to cancer producing effects of radiation than is the thyroid gland of adults." (Science section, New York Times, September 18, 1960.)

EXCESSIVE SUNLIGHT
"Excessive exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays can change certain CHEMICALS on the skin to cancer-producing substances, warns Dr. T.R. Allen. More than 90 percent of all skin cancers occur on exposed areas. Most susceptible are the fair skinned who should be particularly careful to avoid overexposure.
