Dr. Joseph Rodrigo M.D - "Almost all diseases begin
in the digestive track. This includes diabetes, asthma, cancer, alzheimer's,
heart disease, memory loss, fibromyalgia, MS, and too many to even list
here. If you are seeking health, and you have not found the answers
to your recovery and healing, start here. Your intestinal track is
the origin of disease, and it is also the origin of your healing.
I cannot emphasize enough how important the cleansing of your digestive
system is, to your health."
Adventures
in Therapeutic Fasting
by Lonny J. Brown, Ph.D.
Although nowadays the common response to illness is usually to "take
something," it may be advisable to try the opposite. Therapeutic fasting
is an excellent self-healing practice. It induces metabolic changes that
are inherently cleansing and repairing. The organs empty and rest, conserving
energy, promoting the elimination of waste and accumulated toxins, and
making cell regeneration much more efficient. Fasting is mankind's most
ancient healing strategy. Many traditional cultures, including Oriental,
east Indian, and Native American, have long regarded it a dependable curative
and revitalizing personal health measure. Hippocrates prescribed fasting,
as did Galen and Paracelsus, and it was practiced by Plato, Socrates, Pythagoras,
and Mahatma Gandhi. In modern Europe, reputable clinics that support therapeutic
fasting are quite common. In Sweden it's practically a national sport.
Proponents of fasting offer thousands of testimonials from recovered
asthmatics, arthritics, insomniacs, and ex-sufferers of migraines, skin
and digestive disorders, and dozens of other ailments. They maintain that
- with the exception of serious conditions like tuberculosis, ulcers, diabetes,
hypoglycemia, blood, liver, kidney and heart diseases- systematic voluntary
abstention from eating is almost always a healthy first response to illness.
Dr. Bernard Jensen, author of "Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management"
has supervised over 50,000 fasts at his center in Escondido, CA."

Fasting-And
Eating-For Health : A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease
by Joel Fuhrman MD
"I was overweight, plagued with high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
high tryglicerides and diabetic. Treatments by some of the "best" physicians
(with medication) in Israel and in California resulted in no significant
improvement. Three years ago I started to do my own research and got across
Dr. Fuhrman's book. Well written to be understood by layman and with scientific
evidence. Since applying Dr. Fuhrman's recommendations, I lost 70 pounds
in 5 months (the first 40 in 6 weeks). All indicators went back to better
than normal after two weeks into the program. I later experienced 20 days
fast. It was the best experience in my life. Since then, I bought more
than 3 dozens of the book and gave it to everyone I care about. This book
is my new bible. It is a great reading material for understanding and reinforcement.
If practiced by everyone, physicians' rows will be cut by 90%. Not to be
missed if you serious about your health, your well being and those around
you." an amazon.com reviewer
Healing Waters:
The Miraculous Health Benefits of Earth's Most Essential Resource
No matter what the specific health or fitness goal, one cannot achieve
the maximum benefit from any health program without drinking
the right kind of water in the proper amount. All experts agree, that next
to the air we breathe, water is the most important thing we will ever put
in our bodies. It is surprising that so much time and money is being spent
on supplements, organic foods and natural remedies but little attention
is given to the quality and effect of the water with which those items
are taken.
The Mayo Clinic had pronounced Lloyd Palmer, of Minnesota, as incurable.
Since 1965 he had suffered from excruciatingly painful arthritis of his
spinal column -- ankylosing spondylitis. His spine twisted and lost movement
until, he says, he became a "walking comma." He suffered pain for 31 years,
until he started to drink water and take salt. He writes: "I continue to
be pain-free with my ankylosis spondylitis one year after starting the
water/salt regime. My blood pressure is normal as well. I thank God every
day for allowing me to finally be pain-free."
The Quality of Water can positively or negatively affect one’s health.
Depending on what part of the country one lives in, it is easy to find
trace amounts of nitrates, pesticides, heavy metals, radioactive compounds,
petrochemicals and parasites coming from the local municipal water supply.
The toxins and free radicals in these waters are made significantly more
toxic to humans by the addition of chlorine -- a compound mandated by the
public health department.

Note
from Shirley: When I fast on water, I always add unrefined-unheated-real-sea-salt
or Calcium Montmorillonite Clay to my water. Mankind
originally emerged from the sea. So we, so to speak, still carry sea water
in our veins; the chemical and mineral composition of our blood and saline
fluids have an amazing similarity to sea water. And when we are an embryo
in our mother's womb, we are encased in a sack filled with a saline fluid
which is in some ways identical to sea water. Sea water contains 84 mineral
elements. These same 84 mineral elements are found in our bodies. Real
salt is especially important to add in distilled water. I also add a little
earth made fulvic minerals. The salt and fulvic in
water help draw out toxins and rejuvenates the body.
Salt
Deficiency: the cause of many serious diseases
When organic, unrefined
salt lack in your diet, weakness and sickness follow.
Fasting for
health in holistic veterinary medicine
A powerful animal healing practice
"A sick animal retires to a secluded place and fasts until tis body
is restored to mormal. During the fast it partakes only of water and the
medicinal herbs which inherited intelligence teaches it instinctively to
seek" Juliette de Bairacli Levy
William Pollak D.V.M. on fasting:
"Many
experts on canine nutrition recommend occasional fasting, such as one day
without solid food per week or month, to simulate the natural conditions
in which these animals evolved. Fasting gives the digestive organs an opportunity
to rest and helps the body repair itself. In the wild, predators alternate
between gorging themselves and going for one or several days without food,
so a once-a-week or once-a-month fast is both beneficial and easy for most
dogs to adjust to."
Bill Winter DVM - "To this day I
do not believe that I have ever discovered a healing technique quite as
powerful. I have recommended fasting for 10,000 to 20,000 animals
and have seen true miracles over these years of practice." Juliette
de Bairacli Levy says that the two most important aspects of
natural animal rearing are: fasting and raw diet." more

In
her marvelous book, Wild
Health: How Animals Keep Themselves Well and What We Can Learn From ThemCindy
Engles, Ph.D. documents how injured and sick animals retreat in an isolated
place to rest and fast until healed.
"Often the first indication of sickness is that an animal goes off its
food - an observation that has led many traditional herbalists to conclude
that fasting is a natural and beneficial response to sickness... This lack
of appetite can be an effective way of speeding recovery. Bacteria need
iron, and the body makes many adjustments to reduce the availability of
iron during an infection. If an animal keeps eating, any iron in its food
also feeds the pathogens, so force-feeding a sick animal or patient can
be counterproductive. Fever reduces appetite, so if a fever is artificially
suppressed with drugs and appetite returns, not only do we lower temperature
but the increased iron intake can keep the infection going longer. The
traditional dictum 'Starve a fever' is medically sound advice." Cindy
Engel "
JUICE-FASTING
The powerful healing therapy that no-one ever uses.
"When you don't feel well, stop eating and go to juices." The first
thing an animal does when it is sick is stop eating. They fast themselves.
Likewise, the first thing we need to do when we don't feel well is: stop
food. There are a lot of reasons for that. Food takes a tremendous amount
of energy to digest--and that's blood and energy. Our digestive system,
basically the muscles and the tissues, fill with blood. When you stop eating,
your digestive system rests, and all that blood and energy can be put somewhere
else to heal you.
Note: A juice fast is not really a fast because juice is a food which
involves a digestive process, although minimum. Shirley

Toxaemia and Internal
Cleansing
Dr. Mercola - "Every act of every cell in the body produces waste.
This waste is poisonous, it is incompatible with the life of the cell..."
"The cells throw their waste into the lymph that carries it back to the
blood. The blood takes the waste to the excretory organs mentioned above
for elimination." "Normal elimination keeps the blood and lymph clean.
Toxaemia
is hence the aftermath of Enervation. Enervation in brief is the sum total
of all our expenditures of nerve energy involved in our day to day living.
When the sum of our daily expenditure is greater than we can or than we
do recuperate daily, we become enervated. When an enervated individual
is saturated with toxins, any additional enervating influence that puts
an added check to elimination will cause the toxaemia to be pushed
above the point of toleration, and will precipitate a crisis, a process
of compensatory elimination through channels whose main work is not elimination,
e.g., en mucous membranes (colds, catarrh, inflammation and skin eruptions)."
"Medical science is founded on a false premise. Namely, that
disease is caused by extraneous influences" Dr. Tilden
1926 "Toxemia
Explained
"Autogenous self-generated poisoning is what we call Toxaemia."Natural
Hygiene holds that the one cause of all disease is the toxic saturation
at the cellular level of the bodily tissues, bloodstream, and fluids brought
on by the depletion of Nerve Energy reserves through wrong living habits.
This state of self-poisioning is alternately termed "Auto-Intoxication,"
"Toxicosis," and "Toxemia." Every act of every cell in the body produces
waste. This waste is poisonous, it is incompatible with the life of the

will prevent their recurrence." Doctor

"There is really only one disease of the body. It is called Toxemia.
Many doctors of natural hygiene have proven this in their work, but common

What
Is Toxemia by J.H. Tilden
Detoxification
comes in many forms and refers to many different programs that cleanse
the body of toxins.
Today, our environment is toxic and the foods we eat, even the air we
breathe and the water we drink is laden with chemicals foreign to our system.
Therefore, everyone is undergoing some type of detoxification to maintain
life and health. Although basic detoxification begins with diet, detox
programs may include nutritional fortification for the liver, lungs, kidneys,
bowels and blood. Detoxification for the body may refer to the cleansing
of the bowels, kidneys, lungs, the liver or the blood, since these are
the organs involved in detoxification of chemicals and toxins from the
body. The liver acts as an in-line filter for the removal of foreign substances
and wastes from the blood. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood into
the urine, while the lungs remove volatile gases as we breathe." Dr. Ted

What Goes In Must Come Out
By: Marge Hartwig, Master Herbalist
Modern lifestyle has taken its toll on our digestive and elimination
organs. Refined, processed, low fiber foods and animal fats, a lack of
exercise and an ever increasing level of stress have all contributed to
our current gastro-intestinal health crisis. According to the latest edition
of The Merck Manual, the medical industry's standard text for dianosis
and treatment of disease, almost 1/2 of American adults over 50 have herniated
pockets in their bowels which is called Diverticulosis. Due to sluggish
bowel movements, these "bowel pockets" fill with old fecal material which
can be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. This can infect the entire
body causing all types of toxic reactions.
A sluggish bowel can retain pounds of old, toxic and poisonous fecal
matter. Many times the real cause behind sickness and disease is this retention
and reabsorption of these toxic wastes. Is it any wonder that in 1992 the
most common cancer among men and women in the United States was Colon-Rectal?
What is the normal frequency of bowel movement in a healthy person? There
has been a great misconception among the public and most medical professionals
on just what is considered normal. For years, doctors have thought that
once a day to, maybe once a week was perfectly normal. Yet a study of more
primitive people and people living in the third world of nations tell us
quite a different story. They eliminate within 20 to 30 minutes following
each meal. We believe "normal" is eliminating once for every meal you eat,
and we also find that we don't feel very good if we don't.
Through the careful buying of organically produced veggies, avoiding
foods that contain perservatives and reducing your consumption of animal
foods, you can make a major change in your body's health. But if you don't
clean out this excessive waste build up, you've only done half the job
and maybe even the wrong half. The first step in anyones health program
is to stimulate, clean, and tone all the elimination organs, and the bowel
is the best place to begin. You feel better and you look at the life better.
It's easier to tollerate life's little problems and therefore you simply
get along with your neighbors better. Maybe we could have a better world
just by giving all the bad guys a colonic? See
pictures of elimination's here

The Road To Better Health may
begin with a Healing Crisis
A healing crisis is also known as the Herxheimer Reaction which occurs
when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins are being released
faster than the body can eliminate them. As you move toward better health
with natural healing programs and better nutrition, healing begins to occur.
As part of the healing process the body will begin to discard toxic residues
which have built up in your body over the years. The healing process usually
does not occur without repercussions. During the initial phase of healing,
as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify) and your vital energy begins
to repair and rebuildinternal organs, you may experience headache, uneasiness,
flu like symptoms and fatigue.

Wheatgrass Juice: wonder cleansers
Most people who have explored the wondrously wide avenues of self-healing
have 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.
To
detoxify
my blood and to maintain my excellent health and vitality I drink daily
6 to 8 ounces of freshly pressed mixture of wheatgrass, parsley,
cilantro,
and
bitter-melon-vines juice. I mix in
one tablespoon of bee pollen. one ounce of
fulvic minerals and 1/4 teaspoon of shilajit. I grow my own wheatgrass
in flats by my windows and I use a manual juicer. Wheatgrass played a major
role in my health recovery o\f severe lifelong illnesses.

An outline by Dr. Joseph Mercola
The following information took me over 7 years to compile. It
is not something I came up with after a bad dream. It is a document that
is in a constant state of evolution. I have used it for thousands and thousands
of patients and I see the miracles it performs on a daily basis.
I do recommend that you read the longer detailed
version of this outline daily for two weeks to fully understand all
that I am trying to communicate. If you follow all the hyperlinks (blue
underlines) you will find that the document is a book of about 300 pages
long.
There is no charge to you for this information. It is provided solely
for your benefit.
The diet works, NOT because I am sort of
super nutritional doctor, but it is because I listened to the people who
entrusted me to take care of their bodies. When a recommendation did not
work or made people worse, or new information came out, I revised the program.
Nearly half of the detailed guidelines are written by the experiences
of the people I have cared for.
This diet program does NOT work for everyone,
but about 85% is a very good percentage of
success.
It is hard to follow, and you will be a social outcast with most of
your family and friends. But then again only you can make the tough
choices it takes to change the food you put in your body to release the
wonderful healing power that God has given to each and every one of us.
All you have to do is follow the
follow the program with all its cautions and most of you will see miracles
occur. The chronic health problems that you have suffered with for so long
will be gone, as will be the medications you have taken to control the
symptoms.
My chief therapist, Jody, has compiled an excellent
series
of steps you can apply to practically develop goals to implement the
program. The goals are taken from one of my all time favorite books, Maximum
Achievement by Brian Tracy.

The incredible Healing Powers of Living
(Raw) Foods & Juices
"The
fastest way to restore wellness is to stop putting into the body the things
that have caused the physical problem to develop in the first place, and
then give the body the nutrients it needs to repair and rebuild itself.
The body is self-healing when the infraction is stopped and proper nutrients
provided."Rev. George Malkmus
"Fresh, raw foods contain the highest level of enzymes. Enzymes are
the catalyst for the hundreds of thousands of chemical reactions that occur
throughout the body. Cooked foods and dry convenient diets have been denatured
and are devoid of enzymes- life-promoting elements. While they may maintain
life they do not promote optimum health or longevity!" Alicia
McWatters, Ph.D., C.N.C
"Most human illnesses and diseases are due to a deficiency of vital
nutrients. When you supply your body with the proper nutrients, in a form
that your body can use, it knows how to repair itself!" American

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.
More pictures of vaccine damage available to view at the
CDC
website
"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." Nicholas

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. Learn

suit One hundred years ago, children received 1 vaccine (the smallpox
vaccine). Forty years ago, children received 5 vaccines routinely (diphtheria,
pertussis, tetanus, polio, and smallpox vaccines) and as many as 8 shots
by 2 years of age. Children now receive 52 vaccines, in the form of 15
shots, by the time they are 6 months of age if they receive all the recommend
shots, including the Prevnar pediatric pneumonia shot.
Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government
agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing
to protect American children.
Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana)
during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've
been using Thimerosal, and the only test that you know of is from
1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?"
For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what
they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury
compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause
immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)
