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.

Food Allergies

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!

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. 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.
