Holistic
Health: How I Achieved Optimum Health After a Lifetime of Suffering
A personal account of my journey
into healing www.ShirleysWellnessJourney.com
I was once a victim of the never-ending flow of propaganda from the
medical establishment (which I think of as the "disease" establishment
because they focus on disease rather than on prevention and wellness) who
wants to maintain a monopoly on the word "cure" and who wants us to believe
that we have no control over our own health and that our only hope to get
"well" is with drugs, surgery and radiation. Below is my account about
how I achieved optimum health without drugs, surgery or radiation. "First
do no harm..."
I can't remember a time in my life, prior to 1982, when I wasn't struggling
with failing health. I was overweight (185 lbs), suffered from chronic
fatigue and depression, and my health was steadily going down the drain.
For years I had been a "junkie"--addicted to prescription and over the
counter drugs. I used oral and topical corticosteroids for 9 years to suppress
my eczema/psoriasis(side
effects of corticosteroids).
I
remained on antibiotics for months at a time for recurring throat and breast
infections as well as herpes. (side
effects of antibiotics). I could rarely breathe
through my nose and constantly used nasal-sinus decongestant spray with
little relief. I also took drugs for chronic backaches and other health
problems. Unfortunately, instead of generating a cure, the medications
merely
suppressed my symptoms temporarily, weakened
my immune system, and in the long run made me sicker. The combination of
a bad diet (toxic foods) and the side effects of the drugs affected
my moods and I was constantly angry and struggling with depression.

une vie entiere de souffrances…Retour a Une Sante Radieuse
La plupart des maladies modernes sont causées par des expositions
prolongées à une combinaison de styles de vie négatifs
et à des facteurs environnementaux toxiques, incluant l’alimentation,
la malnutrition, les pesticides, les antibiotiques,
les fours à micro-ondes, la pollution chimique de la nourriture,
de l’air, de l’eau, le manque d’exercice et le stress chronique. Ces facteurs
sont de plus aggravés par l’échec de la médecine moderne
à les reconnaître comme agents de maladie et de mort, ainsi
qu’à l’absence de mesures réellement préventives à
leur sujet. Les mêmes compagnies qui produisent les produits chimiques
toxiques, produisent également les médicaments ; le cercle
vicieux du profit ne relève pas de la seule théorie ! En

In 1982 my doctor told me that I had to have a mastectomy because
my body was no longer responding to medication. But I was determined to
not let them cut off my breast. I had had enough of orthodox medicine;
I knew I had to change direction to improve my overall health and vitality.
I visited a naturopathic doctor who was also a homeopath. He explained
to me that the combination of an unhealthy diet and the huge number of
prescription and over the counter medications I had taken for years had
caused toxins to accumulate in my blood, lymph, and tissues, resulting
in toxemia. These toxins contributed
greatly to my weak immune system and rendered me more susceptible to stress,
fatigue, and chronic disease. He prescribed a homeopathic remedy and insisted
that I had to radically change my diet if there was any hope for improving
my miserable health. Treatment
and Prevention of Disease with Homeopathy
The road to recovery
The naturopath/homeopath made me switch my diet from SAD (an
acronym for "Standard American Diet")
to a wholesome diet of fresh, organically grown fruits, vegetables, and
nuts, mostly in their raw form. I totally eliminated
from my diet the starchy stuff like grains, rice, pasta,
and bread as well as meat and dairy products. This radical change
of diet was very hard because I was so adicted to these foods and I was
always hungry. In time I learned to prepare delicious and nutritious meals
made entirely of RAW foods and I never felt deprived or hungry
(more about raw food recipes) I
then began homeopathic treatment.
The results of the diet change and homeopathic treatment were dramatic.
In 6 weeks, the lumps in my breast were completely gone. (cause/prevention/natural
cures of breast cancer). In 12 weeks I had lost 60 pounds effortlessly
(and never had to struggle again to keep my weight down) and my energy
level and stamina improved dramatically. I was able to function better
overall. I became calmer, centered and focused, and generally I felt happier.
My overall resistance to infections became excellent, and I'm proud to
say that in the past 20 years I have not had a cold, flu, ear, throat,
sinus or breast infection or any other infections. I was amazed that even
my debilitating back pains responded to the homeopathic treatment and the
change of diet.
Years later, after I had fully recovered my health, I reintroduced
very small amounts of animal products into my diet. I do my best to always
eat foods in their natural raw form. I do cook
certain food (string beans, cauliflower etc) which I steam
lightly or stir-fry briefly, leaving them still crunchy on the inside.
One of my favored lightly cooked but highly nutritious food is the sprouted
mung bean pancake. When I eat animal products, I try to always eat
it in a raw form: smoked or salt-cured meats or fishes, raw or soft egg
yolks, and raw butter and cheese made from unpasteurized
cow or goat milk from organic farms. (Why
I leave the highly refined, rapidly absorbable carbohydrates alone, and
I mean cane and beet sugar in all forms and guises, all cereal flours which
means breads, pies, cakes, spaghetti, macaroni, etc., all refined cereal
products such as cold and hot breakfast cereals, the quickly absorbable
carbohydrate vegetables, potatoes, corn, and rice, and all sweet soft drinks.)
step
by step what I do everyday to detoxify my blood and to maintain optimum
health and vitality
If I overeat on fish, meat or dairy foods, or if I eat the wrong foods
like starch, or cooked food, I suffer the consequences fairly rapidly in
the form of clogged sinuses, nasal discharges, poor sleep, nervousness,
irritability, low energy, dull skin and hair and poor sleep. To me,
that punishment is not worth the brief moment of pleasure for my taste
buds. Over the years, my health and resistance to disease continued to
improve and in time I also experienced a complete recovery from my life
long chronic eczema and from the devastating side effects of the steroid's
immune suppressive effects.
I never microwave anything and I never
use the following in my diet: margarine,
sugar-free-products, canola oil, and soy products. learn
why
I learned to care for myself, my family and my pets with homeopathy
and herbal remedies instead of rushing off for a consultation with an MD
or a veterinarian for minor injuries or sickness, knowing that the MD or
veterinarian would probably just push antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs,
or expensive medical tests. I cured my lifelong chronic
eczema on my own with natural means and my skin now has never looked
more beautiful and youthful.
Occasionally, if needed, I would also get acupuncture or chiropractic
treatments with fantastic results. For example, in the mid nineties, I
came down with the shingles, a very painful
nerve disease with skin eruption which can leave a person debilitated and
in excruciating pain for the rest of his/her life. I didn't see a physician,
a dermatologist or a neurologist. Instead, I took mega doses of vitamin
B complex and other vitamins, homeopathic remedies and herbal extracts,
and went to see my Chinese acupuncturist. Within a week all pain and symptoms
of the disease had vanished. (my
testimonial about healing shingles)
Dealing with Stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness I have experienced
that I can better deal with stress and anxiety when I take supplements
to optimize my glutathione level. Also, whether I want to experience
more restful sleep, clear my head of mental clutter and stress, or enter
a heightened zone of problem solving acuity, I listen to a powerful acoustic
therapy sessions that can helps me shift my mind to a peaceful, relaxed
state to calm my mind and relax my body. For millennia, healers and shamans
have used the power of rhythm to calm the mind, improve well-being, and
open doors to heightened states of creativity and awareness. CDs

Breast tumor - On August 6, 1999, I discovered a non-painful
lump in my right nipple the size of an olive pit. Within a week, it has
grown to the size of a small olive. I did not rush to a doctor for medical
advice or to test for malignancy. Instead I began self help treatment with
homeopathic
and
herbal treatments at home: I took the
herbal remedies Hoxsey formula,
Essiac
tea, and Cat's
Claw. I also took the homeopathic remedies phytolacca and carbo animalis
among others.. I continued to strictly adhere to my RAW
food diet,
flaxoil, and increased my greeen
juice intake. On August 11, (5 days later) my lump had shrunk to 1/2
its size and by August 23, the lump was completely gone, reabsorbed by
my body and has not returned to this day. (more info
on natural cancer cures) I recently learned about the incredible
healing power of glutathione and I'm taking
Immunocal
everyday to raise my glutathione level. (see
photos
of before and after of a huge neck tumor that was reduced by 50% in just
5 weeks when Linda raised her glutathione level.)
Sciatica - I have experienced miraculous relief from paralyzing
pains of sciatica attacks with castor oil packs
and with magnetic therapy which I do in the comfort of my home. I
do the castor oil packs on the right side of my abdomen over the liver
area for about a couple of hours several times a week. I secure the
flexible magnets on the various pain areas on my back and along my thigh
and leg. These are very simple and powerful healing modalities. Occasionally
sciatica may require a combination approach and acupuncture played a big
role in my recovery recently in November 2011. I visited Sogang
Acupuncture in Hollywood and received some of the best treatment
for my sciatica. In the hand of a experienced professional, these tiny
needles can perform miracles. After the first session 50% of the pain was
reduced. After 2 more sessions that week, the pain was gone completely.
I'm very grateful for Kevin Nam Kim's amazing treatment. He has received
top
rated Yelp reviews.
Cold, flu or infections - I believe that an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure. I haven't experience a cold, flu, or infection
in years because I maintain a strong immune system through daily excercise
(walking - hiking - yoga); routine sunbathing
(contrary to popular belief, the sun is good for our health); a healthy
diet of mostly raw food and green
juice (which played a major role in my health recovery); immune
support from Transfer Factor (colostrum extract),
glutathione,
(antioxidant) and the nutritional support of marine
phytoplankton (cellular nutrition). Learn

Food poisoning - One day, I became violently sick from eating
bad shitakee mushrooms. I experienced intense burning in the stomach,
vomiting, diarrhea, and extreme body coldness even though it was 85 degree
in the room. I immediately took the homeopathic
remedies, particularly aconite and arsenicum , which helped me greatly
. I also drank Red Desert clay and Pascalite
clay water which also helped to some degree. But it wasn't until I drank
some fulvic acid in a little water that my body temperature returned to
normal and I felt I was over the hump. Fulvic
acid is renowned for its ability to neutralizes toxins eliminate food
poisoning within minutes.
Leaky Gut Syndrome I've suffered from Leaky
Gut Syndromes for years. It is a clinical disorders associated with
increased intestinal permeability which include inflammatory and infectious
bowel diseases, chronic inflammatory, skin conditions like acne,
psoriasis and dermatitis, many diseases triggered by food allergy or specific
food intolerance, including eczema, urticaria, and irritable bowel syndrome
and chronic fatigue syndromes. Maintaining good health also lies in the
friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract. Enzymes
and pro-biotics are important to help maintain my health.(Common
warning signs of a bacterial imbalance: allergies, fatigue, digestive problem,
yeast, inflammation, frequent colds, etc). Dr.
Miller's Detox Tea does wonders to assists my body in eliminating waste
and toxins from the colon.
Cracked Skin at the Bottom of my Feet. While I managed to completely heal my lifelong eczema/psoriasis
and have enjoyed a radiantly beautiful skin on my face and my body for
the past 10 years, I began to experience dry leathery skin with painless
deep cracks at the bottom of my feet, especially the heels and the big
toe cushion. This symptom became prominent after the death of my
husband, probably a result of stress and grief and I suspected it was
caused by some sort of nutrient deficiency. For a long time I didn't
know what I was deficient in, until I started taking 2 new nutritional
products. In less than a month the cracks on my heels had healed and the skin was soft and smoothe. One of the product, the PEAK Enzymes "Without" (to be taken "without" food) are metabolic or proteolytic enzymes produced by the pancreas to repair
the body and to build and restore tissue. The other product is is a powerful whole food supplement, made from the Seed, Skin and Pulp of Muscadine Grapes.
If I were to become sick with an minor acute sickness, my favored healing
method is simple: I always resort to homeopathic
and/or herbal remedies (Garlic, Ginger, Echinacea,
Golden Seal, grapefruit seed extract) and Colloidal
Silver which is renowned as a universal natural antibiotic and disinfectant.
I also fast
on water
(with added Red Desert clay or Himalayan
crystal salt to promote gentle detox and support the kidneys)
and I rest in bed for a few days. When given complete rest (physically
as in resting, physiologically as in fasting) the body can direct all its
energy toward repairing itself. Our bodies have the supreme intelligence
to KNOW how to do a fantastic repair job, as long as it is not being poisoned
with drugs and bad food and as long as it is given all the rest it needs
and the opportunity to detoxify itself. (A
good source of information about natural self healing is Dr.
Schulze's website).
I do not subject my body to routine physicals, or medical tests
(mammography, pap smear, etc). I'm in my late fifties and I have consciously
avoided medical doctors, their tests, their drugs and their vaccines
for over 30 years and I vow to stay out of their paths for as long as I
live. (I do have the highest respect for dentists and for surgeons who
can perform miracles in patching up a body and save lives in trauma situations).

Guylaine Lanctot, M.D
- "The medical establishment works closely with
the drug multinationals whose main objective is profits, and whose worst
nightmare would be an epidemic of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be sold.
In order to achieve this, anything goes: lies, fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors
are the principal salespeople of the drug companies. They are rewarded
with research grants, gifts, and lavish perks. The principal buyers are
the public - from infants to the elderly - who MUST be thoroughly medicated
and vaccinated...at any cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative
medicine? Because they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot
make money with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural
remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine, and
that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot
teach." Guylaine Lanctot, M.D.

What I do everyday to detoxify my
blood and to maintain optimum health and vitality:
I
have received many emails from people who want to know what I eat and drink
and what supplements I take. We live in a very toxic world and our food
no longer has the nutrients it once had because our soil is often depleted
of vital nutrients and the fuits are harvested green, before they have
a chance to ripen on the vine. (sun ripened fullly matured fruits
are rich in glyconutrients). I take a
few unique natural whole-food supplements to protect myself from pollution
and to provide important nutrients that my body needs to heal and repair
itself. (NOTE: The information in this web site is presented for the educational

I
mentioned earlier that I'm not a vegetarian. I do eat small amount of animal
protein, no more than a one or two ounces 3 or 4 times a week and preferably
uncooked - naturally cured or smoked ham or smoked salmon, sardines, lightly

consist of about 90% raw food, mostly fruits, salads and nuts.
I may fast in the morning until 11 AM but
if I'm hungry, my favored breakfast consist of Dave's

I may also eat a little cured

I drink a combination of oils
which have played an important role in the recovery of my eczema
and continue to help maintain my health. I mix one tablespoon each of:
evening
primrose oil, sesame oil, hemp seed
oil, pumpkin
seed oil, borage oil, sunflower oil,
cranberry seed oil, and 3 to 4 tablespoons of Flaxseed
oil. I always drink the oils after having eating some protein
which helps the body absorb the oils better. To emulsify these oils and
make the drink more pallatable, I mix these oils in a tablespoon of organic
white and apple cider vinegar, a little organic ginger, garlic, and some
Himalayan
crystal salt to taste. (this is an all natural salt with therapeutic
properties, as described in Water
and Salt, The Essence of Life, by Dr. Barbara Hendel MD). I also add
1 to 2 ounces of marine phytoplankton

I
use raw nori

heard about wheatgrass. Wheatgrass juice has been
proven over many years to benefit people in numerous ways: cleansing
the lymph system, building the blood, restoring balance in the body, removing
toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys and restoring
vitality. One ounce of wheatgrass juice has the vitamin and mineral
equivalent of 2.2 pounds of fresh vegetables. It contains most of the vitamins
and minerals needed for human maintenance, including the elusive B12. Many
of the benefits of wheatgrass juice stem from the fact that it is a living
food, which is a complete protein with about 30 enzymes and is approximately
70% crude chlorophyll.

F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.
- "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water.
Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and
chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water
to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive
the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic
waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the
body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient
water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system
kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are
activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken
areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across
pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research
that I mentioned earlier." More on Hydrotherapy

Chemicals and Toxins Are The Primary Cause of Illness,
Disease and Obesity Substances that are toxic to our bodies
come at us from all directions: the air we breathe, the
food we eat, the water we drink, the
cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us.
Toxins
build-up in the body contribute to premature aging and chronic and
degenerative diseases. Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American
Naturopathic Medical Association, reported recently that "in the typical
American home there are more toxins inside the home than outside the home!
Your cells actually contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist
45 years ago and we are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact.
There are increasing amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water
we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute
to the breakdown in cellular communication and disease.

In 1996 my husband's routine physical checkup at the VA hospital
(veteran administration) revealed a tumor in one of his lung. The doctors
wanted to perform a biopsy immediately to find out if the growth was malignant
and they were already talking about radiation and chemo "therapy". From
past experience and knowledge, we knew that this was not the answer. These
so called "therapies" provide no hope for real cure. Biopsies are very
traumatic to the body and chemo/radiation are
well known to destroy the immune system.
Since 1996 doctors have continued to monitor Chuck's tumor with their
CAT scan and PET scan. The tests revealed that a small mass still remains
in his lung, but the doctors aren't concerned about it because the tumor
has completely stoppedgrowing and Chuck experiences
none of the usual symptoms associated with lung cancer. To this day he
remains healthy and well.
Surviving a heart attack without
hospital or doctor's intervention In November of 1997 I found my husband, Chuck, collapsed on the living
room floor. His face was ashy and twisted in terrible pain. He was drenched
in cold sweat and unable to speak. He was straining to breathe. I knew
right away that he just had a heart attack. I immediately grabbed the homeopathic
first aid remedies for heart attack that Chuck had instructed me to give
him in the event of such emergency. I managed to slipped some homeopathic
remedies into his mouth (arnica, aconite, cactus, lachesis and others)
and a few drops of lobelia/cayenne compound (Antispasmodic Tincture). I
continued to give homeopathic remedies and lobelia every few minutes. An
hour later the horrendous pains began to gradually diminish. Exhausted,
weak, and with chest pain (milder than the initial pain) he laid in bed
for the next five days. He couldn't eat, smoke or drink coffee. I was concerned
about the effects of abrupt withdrawal from nicotine and caffeine. He had
to crawl slowly on the floor when he needed to go to the bathroom because
walking was too painful.
He continued to use homeopathy, (strophanthus 6c, amonium causticum
3c, digitalis 6c and arnical 30c daily), an herbal extract of hawthorn
berries (crataegus), a couple of tablespoons of flaxseed
oil, as well as kyolic (aged garlic), magnesium,
potassium, ginseng, flaxoil, selenium, zinc, vitamins A and E andother
multi vitamins. For several weeks he also wore a flexible magnet on his
chest which also helped improve the pains. His chest pains have gradually
diminished in intensity and frequency. NOTE
: If I had known about the immune support of Transfer
Factor and marine phytoplankton I
would have certainly given him those remedies at the time.
Update September 2000
Chuck appears to be completely pain free but he does suffer from weakness
and tiredness. In his last physical checkup the doctors at the VA
hospital confirmed that he had a severe heart attack (MYOCARDIAL
INFARCTION - an area of tissue death due to blocking off of its
blood supply) and they were amazed that he was able to pull through without
hospital intervention. Chuck continues to have regular physicals every
6 months and he remains well. Unfortunately, he does not follow a healthy
diet as I do and he remains addicted to nicotine, caffeine and sugar. I
cook his food with coconut oil and
with
grapeseed oil because these
oils can reduce cholesterol and have other wonderful healing properties.
Update March 2002
Triggered by the grief of losing our son (December 30, 2000), my husband
suffered 3 more heart attacks (myocardial infarctions) since Sterling's
death.. These were not as severe as the first one and he was lucky that
I was nearby when it happened. I immediately stabilized him with
homeopathic remedies: arnica and aconite in high potency (cm), lachesis
30 c, and other remedies, including hawthorn and tienchi ginseng extracts.. He did not seek conventional medical intervention.
At the VA hospital (veteran administration), doctors are desperately trying
to push various vaccines and drugs on Chuck. They are mistified that he
declines their "treatments" time and time again.
Update May 2002
Tests performed at the VA revealed that a portion of his heart is badly
damaged and another portion is enlarged. The doctors wanted to hospitalize
him immediately and told him that he was living on borrowed time. My husband
declined their treatments. He continued to use homeopathy, herbal remedies,
vitamins, black cumin seed oil and flax seed oil for a year. The
following Spring (03) he choose to discontinue all natural
treatments, with the exception of homeopathy, and remained addicted to
his junk food. Herbs

Surviving a stroke without hospital
or doctor's intervention
Update Feb - April 2005
Early February 2005, my husband suffered a couple of strokes. I wasn't
surprised due to his addiction to junk food, nicotine and sugar and his
refusal to take flaxoil and hawthorn
berries extract. The stroke severely affected his sense of balance
and he became bedridden, a complete invalid. I had to take care of him
as if he was an infant. He never went to the hospital and didn't see a
doctor. He was hovering between life and death for the next couple of months
and lost a lot of weight.
A few weeks later I learned about the healing power of glyconutrients.
Dr. Omelchuk suffered a massive cerebellar aneurysm in 1987 that nearly
cost him his life and he ended up being paralyzed for several years until
he discovered glyconutrients supplements. Within a few month of taking
the glyconutrients, Dr. Omelchuck fully reovered. When I read that story
to my husband, he decided to take the glyconutrients too. Within 2 weeks
I noticed an improvement in his sleep and his energy level. I'm hopeful
that within a few months my husband will be able to walk again, as long
as he is willing to continue to take the glyconutrients. More
about the healing power of glyconutrients
Update August 2005
My husband is walking again! He's a walking miracle! His progress were
steady. Within a few weeks on the glyconutrirents
he was able to talk again. A month later, he was able to feed himself and
sit up in bed. At that point, he agreed to also take flaxseed
oil and Transfer Factor Plus, along with the glyconutrients.
To my amazement, in July he began crawling around the home and sat in his
favored chair (the first thing he asked me was to bring him a cup of coffee
and cigarettes!!!!! arghhhhhhhh.) He started walking again (shaky
and wobly) in early August! He continues to make remarkable progress!
Update January 2006
Chuck continues to improve. He seems to have made more progress when
I started giving him Immunocal
immune support.
Update July 2007
My husband has not experienced further heard attacks or strokes. However,
he stubbornly remains addicted to nicotine, caffeine, and the SAD diet
(an
acronym for "Standard American Diet")
Not surprisingly, his health is not improving. I wish he would be willing
to eat some chia seeds. Researchers from the University of Toronto found
adding chia to the diet of diabetic
people for three months resulted in an important reduction (40%) of certain
inflammation markers and a significant blood pressure
reduction. Since these two aspects are well-known cardiovascular
diseases risk factors, these reductions suggest adding chia to your diet
is a simple way to reduce your risk of developing these diseases. more
Update January 2009
Chuck's balance and nervous system seem to have deteriorated to the
point that he is now wheelchair bound. He's refused to continue to take
nutritional supplements and homeopathic remedies since 2008 and he continues
to cling to his nicotine and SAD diet habbit. Nevertheless, his mind
is sharp and he's in fairly good spirit.
Update July 2010
I'm happy to report that Chuck seems to be getting a little better.
I credit his recent improvement to the Trader Joes' Very Green Juice Blend
and Naked
Green Machine. He loves the taste of these juices with sea plants and
green vegetables. Since 2008 he has refused to drink home-made green juices
or take any supplements, so I'm happy that his nutrients-depleted body
is now getting some nutrition through these juices even if these commercial
juices are flash pasteurized at 160 degrees fahrenheit (which destroys
much of the enzymes and other important nutrients) and are not made from
organically grown veggies. I'm fortunate to run a home-base
business which enables me to stay at home all day, everyday to
take care of my husband, an to nurture my own health.
Update November
14, 2010
My dear husband of 35 years passed away on October 14, 2010
in his sleep at home of cardiac arrest. Chuck was my teacher, my
mentor, my pillar of strength, my everything. Oh how I miss him!
Within a week of his passing I became very sick with respiratory condition
and extreme weakness from the shock, grief, and stress. I had constant
nausea and could not drink my green juice or eat anything. I lost a lot
of weight. My heart was beating so fast causing me to be out of breath
all the time. My anxiety level was on an all time high. I couldn't think
straight. On the second week, I remembered to call my friend Josie,
a healer in Hollywood. She came to see me and applied Auriculotherapy,
massage and acupressure therapy and prepared fruits with special herbs.
I experienced rapid improvement of my respiratory symptoms and was able
to start eating a little. (If
you'd like to have Josie's contact information click
here to email me.)
Do no stand at my
grave and weep, I am not there, I do
not sleep. I am a thousand winds
that blow; I am the diamond glints
on snow. I am the sunlight on
ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn's
rain. When you awaken in the
morning's hush, I am the swift
uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled
flight. I am the soft star that
shines at night. Do not stand at my grave
and cry, I am not there; I did
not die. St.
Francis of Assisi
A few days later I took the homeopathic remedy Aconite
in 50 M potency which worked like magic to reduce my high anxiety level.
My heart began to beat normally. The following day I took the homeopathic
remedy Arsenicum
in 50 M potency to address my weakness. I slowly began to regain strength.
(healing
with homeopathy) Ignatia
is a renowned homeopathic remedy for grief and anguish but I have not yet
taken it. My immune system had weakened by the grief and stress.
As soon as the nausea dissipated I took everyday 4
to 6 packets of Immunocal, organic Camu
Camu from the rain forest, 2 capsules of Transfer
Factor, and drank 2 ounces of marine phytoplankton
to support my immune system and I exposed my body to the sun
for an hour a day to get my vitamin D. I love the sun. It brings me deep
healing.
Our 9 years old German Shepherd dog, Kuuma
also experienced stress and grief which affected his kidneys. After my
husband's passing, Kuuma would need to go out more often to urinate much
larger amount than usual. I gave him Transfer
Factor and Immunocal to help
support his immune system and within a month his kidneys and urination
were back to normal.
Our son Sterling died 10 years ago on December
2000. Sterling and daddy are together now.

How Cleansing
Cures Cancer: Evita Ramparte's Story (video)
The relationship between
unhealthy eating and the development of disease is undeniable. When most
people get a cancer diagnosis their doctors are quick to prescribe drugs
and harsh treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery. All
of these treatments have a harrowing effect on the body opening it up to
a whole host of other problems.

Thy Food Be Thy Medicine And Thy Medicine Be Thy Food -- Hippocrates,
Father of Medicine 460-377 BC more...
Holistic health practitioners,
on the other hand, will often recommend detoxification
methods such as cleansing to eliminate cancer from the body. Here Allison
Biggar interviews European journalist and ovarian cancer survivor Evita
Ramparte about how she cured her cancer naturally

Prevention of Prostate Enlargement
At age 56, my husband's prostate is still in excellent condition.
But because prostate problems are very common in men in the U.S. he takes saw
palmetto in tincture (extract) form, 5 drops twice daily, as a preventative
measure against enlargement of the prostrate. He plans to continue taking
saw palmetto in this manner for the rest of his life. Shirley

Adequate level of magnesium
is essential for the heart muscle. Those who die from heart attacks have
very low magnesium but high calcium levels in their heart muscles. Patients
with coronary heart disease who have been treated with large amounts of
magnesium
citrate or chloride survived better than those with drug treatment.
Magnesium dilates the arteries of the heart and lowers cholesterol and
fat levels.

garlic and hawthorn extracts are effective at reducing angina and
of lowering blood pressure and serum cholesterol. Also, I gave my husband
magnesium citrate powder and Lobelia/skullcap/Cayenne/Skunk Cabbage during his
heart attack to relax his heart muscle.

Standard American Diet,
or S.A.D., is a term used by health food advocates to describe the
overcooked
dietary habits of average Americans which is high in saturated

as well as refinedsugar and grains.
This book is a masterpiece and should be read by everyone who values
their health. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Dr. Weston A. Price travelled the
world over in the 1920s and '30s in order to study isolated human groups,
including sequestered villages in Switzerland, Gaelic communities in the
Outer Hebrides, Eskimos and Indians of North America, Melanesian and Polynesian
South Sea Islanders, African tribes, Australian Aborigines, New Zealand
Maori and the Indians of South America. Wherever he went, Dr. Price found
that
beautiful straight teeth, freedom from decay, stalwart bodies,
resistance
to disease and
fine characters were typical of "primitives"
on their traditional diets, rich in essential food factors. Those that
turned to the "civilized" diet of processed, sugar-laden foods soon developed
a variety
of ills, including misshapen bones and teeth - and the situation worsened
with each generation. Dr. Price's fascinating accounts of his discoveries,
and the extensive photo documentation he provides, drive home the nutritional
truths that are only now gaining general understanding, and Nutrition and
Physical Degeneration remains an unequaled source of basic information.

Grains turns the U.S. Food Guide Pyramid upside down by exposing the
myriad health risks posed by gluten

diet is to blame for a host of chronic illnesses. Largely misunderstood
and frequently misdiagnosed, these disorders can be prevented and reversed

The idea that too much animal fat and a high cholesterol is dangerous
to your heart and vessels is nothing but a myth. Cholesterol is not
a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals. Researchers
at the University San Diego School of Medicine UCSD point out that high
cholesterol in those over 75 years of age is protective, rather than harmful
and that low cholesterol is a risk factor for heart arrhythmias (leading
cause of death if heart attack occurs). Researchers from the University
of Denmark report that about 15% of cholesterol lowering drug users over
the age of 50 will suffer from nerve damage as direct result of using statin
drugs. USA Today reported that Statins have killed and injured more people
than the government has acknowledged. more
Beware of The Toxicity
of Soy Products Contrary to popular belief that soy is a health food, evidence reveals
that soy consumption has been linked to numerous disorders, including infertility,
increased cancer and infantile leukemia, Type1 diabetes, and precocious
puberty in children have been fed soy formula. (early maturation, such
as breast development and menstruation as early as 6 years of age). Scientists
have known for years that the isoflavones in soy products can depress thyroid
function and cause goiters in otherwise healthy children and adults. A
combined research team of Cornell University Medical College and Long Island
Community Hospital medical experts have found that children who develop
Type1
diabetes are twice as likely to have been fed soy formulas as those fed
all other foods This confirms concerns based on animal studies raised
in the 1980's and 1990s by Health Canada researcher Dr Fraser Scott and
led to the American Academy of Pediatrics issuing their warning to pediatricians
against any use of soy based formulas.
According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects
of aspartame (Aspartame is the technical name for the brand
names, NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure.), the following
chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame:
Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's
disease, Alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma,
birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.
Sugar Free Products Alert! "I have observed severe intellectual deterioration associated with
the use of aspartame products (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful/Canderal/Benevia,
etc.) It was usually manifest as great difficulty in reading and
writing, obvious problems with memory and grossly impaired orientation
to time, place and person." H. J. Roberts,

Beware of Canola Oil, Canola Oil is an Industrial Oil, Not Fit For Human
Consumption
Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because
Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA The Canadian
government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
$50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on the (GRAS) List "Generally
Recognized As Safe". Thus a new industry was created. Laws were enacted
affecting international trade, commerce, and traditional diets. Studies
with lab. animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of
heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn
from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar tissue remained on all
vital organs. No studies on humans were made before money was spent to
promote Canola oil in the USA.
Refined canola oil, typically found in conventional food stores, is
usually exposed to high temperatures, deodorizing and bleaching. Its health-giving
constituents are processed away, and its omega-3s converted into the undesirable
trans form. Even "lightly refined" and "expeller pressed oils can be exposed
to deodorizing, which may raise the oil temperature to a sizzling 450?–
470?F.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused
by in a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the
myelin (protective sheath ) of the nerves. Canola oil is a very long chain
fatty acid oil (c22). Those who will defend canola oil say that the Chinese
and Indians have used it for centuries with no effect, however it was in
an unrefined form.
It is genetically engineered rapeseed
It has been shown to cause lung cancer (Wall Street Journal: 6/7/95)
Generally rapeseed has a cumulative effect, taking almost 10 years before
symptoms begin to manifest. It has a tendency to inhibit proper metabolism
of foods and prohibits normal enzyme function. Canola is a Trans Fatty
Acid, which has shown to have a direct link to cancer. These Trans Fatty
acids are labeled as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. Avoid
all of them!
According to John Thomas' book, Young Again, 12 years ago in England and
Europe, rape seed was fed to cows, pigs and sheep who later went blind
and began attacking people. There were no further attacks after the rape
seed was eliminated from the diet.. more

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles
asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,
and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals
and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and
chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

Après une vie entière
de souffrances…
RETOUR A UNE SANTE RADIEUSE Shirley
J’ai été la victime de l’énorme propagande
de la médecine (qui est, me semble-t-il, bien malade, car elle est
essentiellement axée sur la maladie au lieu de l’être pleinement
sur la prévention et la santé). La médecine veut maintenir
le monopole de la « guérison » et veut que nous croyions
que nous n’avons aucun contrôle sur notre propre santé, que
notre seul espoir dépend des médicaments, de la chirurgie
et des radiations…Nous sommes encore nombreux à croire que notre
santé dépend essentiellement de la qualité des services
médicaux. La vérité est que notre santé est
notre responsabilité. Notre pouvoir tient dans les choix que nous
faisons tous les jours.
Avant 1982, je n’ai cessé de lutter par rapport
à une très mauvaise santé. J’étais obèse,
je souffrais de fatigue chronique et ma santé se dégradait.
J’ai pris des médicaments pendant des années : 9 ans de corticostéroïdes
pour soigner mon eczéma et mon psoriasis. Je faisais régulièrement
des cures de plusieurs mois d’antibiotiques pour des infections récurrentes
des poumons et de la gorge ; je prenais des médicaments pour décongestionner
mes sinus, pour soulager mes lombalgies, ainsi que d’autres troubles de
santé. J’ai souffert de sciatique, de grippes à répétition
et d’infections diverses.
Au lieu de m’apporter la guérison, ces médicaments
ne pouvaient que temporairement supprimer mes symptômes, en affaiblissant
mon système immunitaire et au bout du compte me rendant plus malade
encore. La combinaison d’une nourriture inadéquate et des effets
secondaires des médicaments contribuait à affecter mon moral,
me remplir de colère et me faire glisser vers la dépression.
En 1982, le médecin ordonna une mastectomie ; mon
corps ne répondait plus aux divers médicaments… J’ai commencé
à en avoir vraiment assez de la médecine classique et j’ai
décidé qu’on ne m’amputerait pas d’un sein. Je savais qu’il
me fallait changer de direction pour pouvoir reconstruire ma santé
et retrouver ma vitalité.
J’ai alors consulté un médecin naturopathe
qui m’a expliqué que la combinaison d’une nourriture inadéquate
avec l’énorme quantité de médicaments que j’avais
pris pendant des années avait permis à quantité de
toxines de s’accumuler dans mes tissus, dans la lymphe, le sang pour finalement
provoquer un état général de TOXEMIE. Ces toxines
contribuaient grandement à affaiblir mon système immunitaire,
me rendant plus sensible au stress, à la fatigue, comme aux maladies
chroniques . Ce médecin me fit comprendre qu’il me fallait changer
d’une façon radicale toute mon alimentation si je voulais avoir
quelqu’espoir d’améliorer mon état misérable de santé.
« Que votre nourriture soit votre
remède, et que votre remède soit votre nourriture. »
Hippocrate, Père de la médecine (460-377 av. J.C.) Son éthique
est à l’origine du serment que prêtent les médecins
(serment d’Hippocrate) et dont un des premiers principes était :
«
Primum non nocere », (d’abord ne pas nuire) !
Un verset sanskrit du traité âyurvédique
du Charaka Samhitâ dit : « Notre corps est le résultat
de notre alimentation. Une nourriture saine et équilibrée
donne sukha, une bonne santé ; une nourriture déséquilibrée
amène dukha, la maladie et la souffrance. ».
Les paroles d’Hippocrate font écho à celles
de la Taittiriya Upanishad (II,2,1) qui dit : « La nourriture
naquit avant les créatures ; aussi elle est appelée la meilleure
des médecines. » « Soyez reconnaissant
envers toute nourriture, car la nourriture est Brahman. » Svâmi
Vivekananda
Le retour à la santé Le naturopathe qui était aussi médecin
homéopathe me fit passer de la nourriture traditionnelle américaine
(SAD « Standard American Diet »), à une alimentation
saine comprenant des fruits et légumes frais biologiques, des noix
sous leur forme la plus naturelle. J’appris petit à petit à
préparer de délicieux repas CRUS très nourrissants.
Je ne me suis jamais sentie frustrée ou affamée. J’ai complètement
éliminé viande, produits laitiers, céréales,
pain et ai entrepris un traitement homéopathique.
Les résultats ne se firent guère attendre
et furent spectaculaires : En 6 semaines, les tumeurs que j’avais au sein
avaient complètement disparu. En 12 semaines j’avais perdu près
de 30 kg. sans effort et mon énergie s’était considérablement
accrue. Je fonctionnais beaucoup mieux, j’étais beaucoup plus calme,
centrée et je me sentais nettement plus heureuse. Ma résistance
aux infections était parfaite. Je suis fière de pouvoir dire
qu’au cours des 20 dernières années je n’ai plus connu le
moindre rhume, la moindre grippe. Je n’ai plus eu la moindre infection
au niveau des oreilles, du sinus, de la gorge, des poumons. J’étais
émerveillée de constater que mes terribles maux de dos s’étaient
évanouis après les traitements homéopathiques et la
réforme
de l’alimentation…
« Le médecin
du futur ne prescrira pas de médicaments. Ses soins consisteront
essentiellement à éveiller l’intérêt de
ses patients pour l’alimentation, ainsi que pour les causes et la véritable
prévention des maladies. » Thomas EDISON, (1847-1931)
J’ai lu des centaines d’histoires de guérisons
« miraculeuses » de personnes qui sont passées des traitements
allopathiques aux traitements holistiques et de la nourriture cuite à
la nourriture CRUE.
Je n’utilise JAMAIS le micro-onde, je n’utilise plus jamais
de sucre, de produits à base de soja ou d’huile de canola (explication
sur internet)…Je ne me soumets plus aux tests comme mammographies… J’ai
54 ans .Pendant 20 ans, j’ai consciemment évité médecins,
tests, médicaments et vaccins…
J’ai pu sauver mon époux d’une tumeur au poumon,
d’une attaque cardiaque et de problèmes prostatiques sans médicaments,
chimio ou chirurgie
Les compagnies pharmaceutiques dépensent des billions

L’élimination du symptôme ne veut pas nécessairement
dire l’élimination de la maladie. « Il y a longtemps
que je connais les dangers qu’il y a à traiter les symptômes
comme s’il s’agissait de maladies. La maladie est la résultante
finale d’une cause, et les symptômes sont les signes avertisseurs
de la nature. R.A. Jackson. - Le moyen le plus rapide de restaurer la santé
est d’arrêter de mettre dans le corps les éléments
qui ont causé le problème, et ensuite de donner au corps
les substances nutritives dont il a besoin pour se réparer et se
reconstruire. L’approche holistique traite la personne entière,
déclenche la force interne de guérison et stimule les capacités
naturelles du corps à se guérir lui-même.
D Darryl See, MD. - « Notre seul
espoir et notre seule défense doivent tenir dans notre propre système
immunitaire. »
Rob Robertson, M D - « Un système
immunitaire renforcé sera le premier moyen de rester en bonne santé
à l’avenir. »
Dr Whitaker, M.D. - « Le plus grand
événement médical de notre époque est la découverte
du pouvoir stupéfiant que possède le corps de s’auto-guérir.

La plupart des maladies modernes sont causées par
des expositions prolongées à une combinaison de styles de
vie négatifs et à des facteurs environnementaux toxiques,
incluant l’alimentation, la malnutrition ,les pesticides, les antibiotiques,
les fours à micro-ondes, la pollution chimique de la nourriture,
de l’air, de l’eau, le manque d’exercice et le stress chronique. Ces facteurs
sont de plus aggravés par l’échec de la médecine moderne
à les reconnaître comme agents de maladie et de mort, ainsi
qu’à l’absence de mesures réellement préventives à
leur sujet. Les mêmes compagnies qui produisent les produits chimiques
toxiques, produisent également les médicaments ; le cercle
vicieux du profit ne relève pas de la seule théorie !
« Les homme s’aveuglent sur les conséquences
de leur compulsion à empoisonner le vivant sous prétexte
de le protéger. » M.A. Cotton

- "Clinical evidence links low glutathione
levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging
diseases. Glutathione levels diminish as we age and many diseases normally
associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency."
Dr. Allan Somersall M.D
- "To raise glutathione levels is to
reduce premature oxidation, to quench destructive free radicals and help
detoxify the poisons inside each cell when it needs to. Only Immunocal
