H1N1 Flu

Western medicine's terminology for the Flu is Influenza. It is an infectious disease caused by the Influenza viruses. Typically, influenza is transmitted through the air by coughs or sneezes, creating aerosols containing the virus. Influenza can also be transmitted by direct contact with bird droppings, nasal secretions, or by touching contaminated surfaces.

Approximately 33% of people with influenza do not even experience symptoms, yet they carry the virus. Influenza spreads around the world in seasonal epidemics, resulting in three to five million yearly cases of severe illness and about 250,000 to 500,000 yearly deaths. These cases increased to millions in some pandemic years. It can be difficult to distinguish between the common cold and influenza in the early stages of these infections. However, flu can be identified by a sudden onset of high fever/chills and extreme fatigue, with body temperatures ranging from 38-39 °C (approximately 100-103 °F). Many people are so ill that they are confined to bed for several days, with aches and pains throughout their bodies, typically worse in their backs and legs.

Symptoms of influenza may include:

  • Fever and extreme coldness (chills shivering, shaking (rigor))
  • Cough and/or Nasal congestion
  • Body aches, especially joints and throat
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Irritated, watering and red eyes
  • Reddened skin (especially face), mouth, throat and nose
  • Petechial Rash (generally from excessive coughing or vomiting that causes broken capillary vessels)
  • In children, gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, (may be severe in children with influenza B)

COMPLICATIONS: Flu can occasionally lead to pneumonia, either direct viral pneumonia or secondary bacterial pneumonia, even for persons who are usually very healthy. Please note: it is a warning sign if a child (or adult) seems to be getting better and then relapses with a high fever as this relapse may be pneumonia. Another warning sign is if the person starts to have trouble breathing.

The flu vaccine is an option offered by the medical community, but studies show that more people acquire the flu from the vaccine than those who choose not to have it! Administration of the flu vaccine generates a lot of money, so you can imagine why the general public never hears about that. There are natural ways to counteract the flu that have definitely proven more effective than Tamiflu and far more than the toxic vaccine. I strongly discourage participation in the flu vaccine no matter what your age or stage of illness is.

PREVENTION: Assume all influenza, no matter what species it comes from, is contagious. The best prevention is to stay clear of it. But that is difficult since it spreads via aerosols and people can be carrying it and spreading it without actually showing signs of infection! Influenza viruses can be deactivated by sunlight, disinfectants and detergents, although soap and water are quite effective. Clean surfaces with 3% hydrogen peroxide and keep sneezes and coughs covered to prevent sharing your virus. Wash hands often and maintain good hygiene.

TREATMENT: The Flu Relief Remedy is designed to help control the fever, cough and other symptoms common with the flu. Providing Support for the Sinus and Lungs increases the body's ability to fight off the germs, allowing your body's own defenses to work better. The Influenza Detox contains a homeopathic-style detox for every single one of the Influenza strains, all those known to infect humans AS WELL as those not thought to infect humans. That means there is a Detox for the entire Orthomyxovirus collective and it addresses antigenic drift (evolved mutations of the viruses).

If you need additional help, purchase the MMS. Colloidal silver is also a known effective anti-viral. The most effective version, in my opinion, is Silver Shield made by Nature's Sunshine company, specifically because of the 10,000 volts used in the process of making this particular silver formula.

Headache (& Migraines)

Headaches are the ninth most common reason for a person to consult a physician in the US. Tension Headaches account for nearly 90% of all headaches; pain usually occurs on both sides of the head and consists of a dull, steady ache. It may produce a feeling of pressure similar to the sensation caused by a tight band placed on the head and/or around the neck. It typically comes on slowly and is usually triggered by fatigue, stress, dehydration or low blood sugar.

A Migraine is a form of vascular headache. Migraine headaches are caused by a combination of vasodilatation (enlargement of blood vessels) and the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around the blood vessels. During a migraine attack, the temporal artery enlarges. The temporal artery is an artery that lies on the outside of the skull just under the skin of the temple. The enlargement of the temporal artery stretches the nerves that coil around the artery and cause the nerves to release chemicals. The chemicals cause inflammation, pain, and further enlargement of the artery which magnifies the pain.

Migraines generally have a localized pain point, like near an eye or the left side of the head. Pain is described as throbbing, crushing, or splitting head pain. Nausea and vomiting are common because the receptors in the brain are over producing so much that it affects other parts of the body. Triggers for migraines are thought to be bright lights, loud noises, exposure to an allergen (wine, smoke, etc.), lack of sleep, etc.

If you suffer from migraines and notice that I use the word interchangeably with headaches, please do not feel offended. I am not belittling the pain you are experiencing. The reason I have listed both of these conditions on the same page is because the cause of both is often similar. With the exceptions of a concussion, high fever or major vision problems, there is one main reason for all head pain and that is liver congestion with a side of constipation. It doesn't matter what your trigger is; TMJ and various other things can play into it, but the cause is still liver with a side of constipation. Interestingly, the pain pills we take for head pain directly affect the liver in a negative way long term so the medical "answer" is actually compounding the problem. (Nothing new there!)

DIRECTIONS: Over the years I have found headaches and migraines very simple to correct. The Migraine Relief Remedy is designed to support the vascular and muscle (tension) part of the equation. Dehydration is almost always part of the equation, but only you can correct that part. I recommend the Liver Support, but I also recommend the Female Support and Large Intestine Support. This is because females tend to get both headaches and migraines more often than men. Some of these are triggered by hormone imbalance. The liver is still responsible because if it was healthy it would filter out the excess hormones causing the pain. If your head pain has anything to do with menstrual cycles or ovulation times of the month, use the Female Support along with the Liver Support. If your head pain does not seem related to hormones and cycle times, use the Large Intestine Support with the Migraine Relief.

If you take the recommended remedies and you do not find substantial relief, it is very likely you have some Gallstones that need to be flushed out. Even if your Gallbladder has been removed, please do the Gallstone Flush. If your head pain is brought on by blood sugar (missing meals), you also need the Gallstone Flush. If your head pain is triggered by allergens of any kind, MSG and foods containing tyramine (red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and some beans are most common), you need to do the Lemonade-Master Cleanse.

I said a side of constipation, so please READ THIS BLOG article to assure you really do have "normal" bowel habits, and how to achieve them.

Gluten Allergy

Allergy

There are so many of them, and so many people have them, but is the allergy the problem or yet another side effect?

An allergy is an overcompensation of the body's immune system when confronted with an element it cannot digest, metabolize or otherwise "deal with." No matter what your allergen is, the body reacts to it as a foreign invader, a bad guy, thus the reaction. The modern world either lives with their allergies or use drugs to suppress the symptoms. But what if you could eliminate them altogether? If an allergy is really the symptom, wouldn't it be nice to identify and eliminate the cause?

WHAT IS AN ALLERGY? During an allergic process, the substance responsible for causing the allergy, or allergen, binds to allergic antibodies present on allergic cells in a person's body, including mast cells and basophils. These cells then release chemicals such as histamine and leukotrienes, resulting in allergic symptoms such as a runny nose, itchy eyes, hives, general swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, trouble breathing, quickened heart rate and finally loss of consciousness because of a drop in the person's blood pressure. This is called anaphylaxis (systemic vasodilation resulting in low blood pressure), which can be caused by a severe allergic reaction. People who are aware of allergens of this level generally carry epipens.

There is a simple allergy test you can do at home if you wish to find exactly what you might be allergic to. Click here for more details.

Conventional treatment of allergies is directed at blocking the immune response, but it would seem wiser to identify the cause of the allergen rather than reduce immune response, which is needed for so many other things in the body. Even better than identifying the allergen would be correcting the reason you have an allergy at all! Why does your body respond in an allergic way? Why does the pollen or that cat make you sneeze, yet other people are not affected by it? Identification of allergies is wonderful when we need to find the cause of an annoying symptom or health condition, but the 'allergy' is not really the answer. The real underlying issue is why YOUR body will not digest or metabolize that item.

The real cause of most allergies is one or more of the following:

  • toxin interfering with digestive capability. In developed countries, the toxin is often GMO foods, or genetically modified foods. These foods are often loaded with BT toxin. Avoid all forms of corn and grains that are not GMO-free.
  • A deficiency of enzymes in the intestine. If you do not eat plenty of raw fruits and veggies daily, you may need to add the Digestive Aid.
  • Lack of fiber and normal bowel elimination - The IC-1 provides the fiber, use it daily if you have allergies, and if your bowels still do not move twice a day, add the Bowel Stimulant.
  • There is often some emotional congestion involved with those that have severe or chronic allergies. You might consider EFT or some method to help heal from that perspective.

NOTE: Dehydration is a huge factor with allergies, particularly if hives are part of the complaint - stop all caffeine! Also keep in mind that gluten, one of the most common allergies, has been over consumed. Original wheat, for example, had 2% gluten while modern wheat has been genetically modified and contains as much as 19% gluten. That is much more than the human body was created to deal with. If you have food allergies or any kind, or any health condition / complaint that is not responding, PLEASE watch this GMO documentary. and make the appropriate dietary changes. There is no medicine for what you must correct At Home!

Giardia

Giardia infects a number of vertebrates by colonizing and reproducing in the small intestine causing Giardiasis. The parasite is present in the feces of infected people and animals. When water, food or soil sources are contaminated with feces containing giardia, contact with these sources spreads the parasite. Giardia infection occurs most frequently in people traveling to developing countries or in hikers and campers who have consumed untreated water from lakes, streams or ponds. Water is the most common source of contamination.

The symptoms of Giardia may appear 1–2 weeks after becoming infected and include diarrhea, excess gas, stomach or abdominal cramps, upset stomach, and nausea. The signs and symptoms can last for one to two weeks or even longer. The disease affects individuals in various ways. Some people infected with giardia have no symptoms at all, while others may have severe diarrhea or vomiting. Left untreated, Giardia infection may lead to severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances which can result in shock or coma and may be life threatening.

Person-to-person transmission accounts for the majority of Giardia infections and is usually associated with poor hygiene and sanitation. Water-borne transmission is associated with the ingestion of contaminated water. In the U.S. outbreaks typically occur in small water systems using inadequately treated surface water. Venereal transmission happens through fecal-oral contamination. Additionally, diaper changing and inadequate hand washing are risk factors for transmission from infected children. Lastly, food-borne epidemics of Giardia have developed through the contamination of food by infected food-handlers.

Gallstones

Did you know that 9 out of 10 people have gallstones and don't even know it? Gallstones can be asymptomatic (causing no symptoms), for many years. These gallstones are called "silent stones". The stones are often so small they can't be seen in X-rays or they can be in the liver passages where X-rays won't show them. You may also know you have them, but are experiencing no apparent symptoms.

Gallstones can vary in size and shape from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder may contain a single large stone or many smaller ones. Pseudoliths, sometimes referred to as sludge, are thick secretions that may be present within the gallbladder, either alone or in conjunction with fully formed gallstones.

On the basis of their composition, gallstones can be divided into the following types:

  • Cholesterol stones which vary from light yellow to dark green or brown and are oval, measure between 2 and 3 cm long with each stone often having a tiny, dark, central spot. To be classified as cholesterol stones, they must be at least 80% cholesterol by weight.
  • Pigment stones are small and dark. They are comprised of bilirubin and calcium salts that are found in bile. They contain less than 20% of cholesterol.
  • Mixed gallstones typically contain 20-80% cholesterol. Other common constituents are calcium carbonate, palmitate phosphate, bilirubin, and other bile pigments. Because of their calcium content, they are often radiographically visible.

Western medicine's belief is that if stones are not causing you pain and if they have not caused a "gallstone attack", then no treatment is necessary. This is not a healthy perspective, but that is modern medicine. The most common medical procedure is to remove gallstones by surgery, called cholecystectomy, and is the removal of the entire gallbladder. Of course gallstones are not created due to a faulty gallbladder, they are formed from one or more of the considerations mentioned below. Their removal is not a solution other than relieving the immediate possible emergency. The body will never function the same without a gallbladder, so I highly discourage its removal. 15% of documented cases suffer terrible gastrointestinal issues, including chronic diarrhea for the REST of their lives if even the slightest complication occurs.

A typical "gallstone attack" is defined when a person may experience intense pain in the upper-right side of the abdomen, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting, that steadily increases for approximately 30 minutes to several hours. A person may also experience referred pain between the shoulder blades or below the right shoulder. Often attacks occur after a particularly fatty meal and almost always happen at night

.

HOME REMEDY: If you believe you have gallstone pain, drink ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar, followed by 8 ounces of 100% apple juice. Organic options are a much better choice. This will relieve the pain, but you need to pass the stones now. Remember that as many as 90% of people in the modern world are likely to have some gallstones, or at least sludge, so the Gallstone Flush should be done by everyone. The Gallstone Flush is something you can do at home, it is not painful, it is inexpensive and you will pass all kinds of things that are better out than in. Remember, if you have had an X-ray and no gallstones were visible, they will often accumulate in the passages of the liver so an X-ray would not show them. If for some reason a person has extremely large gallstones (they have been found the size of golf balls), consider lithotripsy (a kind of ultrasonic shock wave) to break them into smaller pieces, follow up with the Gallstone Flush before you consider harvesting your gallbladder (removing it). Most gallstones can naturally pass through the common bile duct into the duodenum, and are then passed with the next bowel movement. Jaundice and/or clay-colored stool may raise suspicion. If the above symptoms coincide with fever and chills, consider a trip to the emergency room.

Considerations: The primary cause of gallstones is a diet containing too many animal fats and liver congestion. If the liver is not healthy, you may produce too much cholesterol even without meat consumption. This may be a sign of basic vitamin deficiency, like Vitamin C or Folate. A lack of melatonin could significantly contribute to gallbladder stones. Melatonin inhibits cholesterol secretion from the gallbladder, enhances the conversion of cholesterol to bile, and is an antioxidant, which is able to reduce oxidative stress to the gallbladder. Excess estrogen, such as acquired from the birth control pill, can also contribute to gallstone formation.

You probably do not need remedies in addition to the Home Remedies mentioned if the Flush is used as directed. I listed the cholesterol remedy for the gallstones because if gallstone problems persist, it is a cholesterol/liver issue that needs attention. If you continue to have issues, use the Remedies listed as some toxin is probably contributing to gallstone formation.

Fusarium

Fusarium species exist as plant pathogens and are found on plant debris and in soil. Plant parasitic Fusarium causes wilting of many plants including crops such as tomatoes, bananas, sweet potatoes, pigeon peas, and pears. Some species of Fusarium are commonly isolated from seeds, especially those of cereals. Species of Fusarium also produce a number of different mycotoxins.

The Fusarium species are probably the most prevalent toxin-producing fungi in the northern temperate regions and are commonly found on cereals grown in the temperate regions of America, Europe and Asia. These toxins have been shown to cause a variety of toxic effects in both experimental animals and livestock and are also suspected of causing toxicity in humans.

In indoor environments Fusarium species are generally found under very wet conditions. They are commonly isolated from carpet and mattress dust, damp walls, wallpaper, polyester polyurethane foam, humidifier pans and areas where stagnant water occurs in HVAC systems. Some species cause keratitis in humans, and infect eyes and finger nails. Fusarium species are also an inhalation hazard.

Fusarium culmorum is born in soil and has a worldwide distribution. Indoors, it has been isolated from floor, carpet and mattress dust; damp wall and polyurethane foam. Fusarium culmorum is associated with allergy. It also produces vomitoxin, a trichothecene mycotoxin that causes a serious feed refusal and vomiting in animals fed contaminated feed.

Fusarium solani is a soil borne fungus found indoors in carpet and mattress dust; damp walls, wallpaper; polyester polyurethane foam; insulating cotton in duct liner; water pipes and humidifiers. Fusarium solani causes keratitis in humans. It is also associated with wounds and infections of the eyes and fingernails. It poses inhalation and deep skin (dermal) inoculation health risks to persons with weak immune systems. It also poses health risks related to major barrier breaks such as corneal perforation, major surgery, peritoneal or venous catheter presence, and injection drug use.

Fusarium verticillioides is soilborne. Indoors, it is found on humidifier pans and other areas where stagnant water occurs in HVAC systems. It is also found in mattress dust and on damp walls. Fusarium verticillioides causes keratitis in humans and invasive mycoses in immunocompromised people. It poses inhalation and deep skin (dermal) inoculation health risks to persons with weak immune systems. Fusarium verticillioides also poses the same health risks listed above under Fusarium solani.

Filarial

Filariasis is the name for a group of tropical diseases caused by various thread-like parasitic round worms and their larvae. They are transmitted to humans mainly by the black fly (lays eggs in a skin wound) and mosquito bite. In all cases, a mosquito first bites an infected individual then bites another uninfected individual, transferring some of the worm larvae to the new host. Once inside the body, the larvae migrate to a particular area of the body and mature to adult worms.

Over a hundred million people in the tropical and subtropical areas of southeast Asia, South America, Africa, and the islands of the Pacific are infected by this debilitating parasitic disease. While filariasis is rarely fatal, it is the second leading cause of permanent and long-term disability in the world.

Filariasis is characterized by fever, chills, headache, and skin lesions in the early stages. If untreated, it can progress to include gross enlargement of the limbs and genitalia in a condition called elephantiasis, which results in lymphatic filariasis. Filariasis is classified into three distinct types based on the part of the body that becomes infected:

  • subcutaneous filariasis infects the areas beneath the skin and whites of the eye (African eye worm)
  • serous cavity filariasis infects body cavities, but does not cause disease
  • lymphatic filariasis affects the circulatory system that moves tissue fluid and immune cells

Several different types of worms can be responsible for each type of filariasis, all of which have been included in this detox remedy.

Flu (all strains)

Western medicine's terminology for the Flu is Influenza. It is an infectious disease caused by the Influenza viruses.

Exophiala

Exophiala is a widespread fungus commonly found in soil and sewage. It causes mycetoma and opportunistic infections in humans. This organism is recognized with increasing frequency as a cause of human disease. Human infection caused by Exophiala can be separated into three types: superficial infections, cutaneous and subcutaneous disease, and visceral or systemic disease.

Most cases of infection caused by Exophiala are included in the first two categories. Visceral or systemic disease is very rare. Cases of pneumonia, fungaemia, central nervous system infection, endocarditis and peritonitis have been reported. Systemic diseases have occurred mostly in patients with predisposing factors such as organ transplant, leukemia, cystic fibrosis, HIV infection and dialysis, catheter-related infection and cystic fibrosis.

Researchers tested home dishwashers and found Exophiala in 62% of them.
