Successful Treatments for the Covid Virus

When Covid shut down the world in 2020 little was known about this virus in terms of its origins, mechanism of spreading or treatment. Soon many front line physicians were confronted with trying to heal very sick patients from this new, novel virus. Physicians fought bravely with the tools and training available to them at the time. However, many mistakes were made including sending patients home without trying to reduce their viral load with early interventions. Lesser known physicians were experiencing success with early aggressive treatments and were privately sought out by colleagues for advice. These treating physicians should have been widely praised and lauded for their saving of lives. Instead, they were often shunned and their success hidden, denied or distorted in various ways.

Six Easy Ways to Detoxify for Improved Health

Why Detoxing is Important

Recently reading health advocate Suzanne Somer’s best selling book Tox-sick increased my awareness of the critical importance of detoxification on a regular basis. Lack of adequate nutrients along with toxins are the underlying cause of most chronic life threatening diseases, including auto-immune diseases, cancer and heart disease.

With the daily onslaught of toxins, all of us can benefit from some detoxification on a routine basis. Our bodies absorb toxins from our food, water, air and skin. Even those of us who drink purified water and only eat primarily organic foods, inadvertently consume toxins.

The soil has been depleted of important vitamins due to farmers not putting back essential nutrients into our soils. Poisons like Glyphosate, sprayed on huge conventional farms around the country, contaminate organic fields of vegetables, fruit and pasture land. All conventional wheat in the US is now routinely sprayed with Glyphosate, making it important to consume only organic wheat breads. We all breathe the same outdoors air, which is contaminated from as far away as Japan and China. (1)(2)

Ditch Your Sunglasses and Sunscreen

 

We’ve all heard that the sun is dangerous and we need to protect our skin and eyes from this evil force of nature. Is this the whole story? Is there another view? Like most of us, a good part of my life was spent wearing my cool shades and using sunscreen to protect my skin from skin cancer. More recently, I’ve adopted the opposite viewpoint that the more sun I can get, the better I’ll feel. I go out of my way to go outside first thing in the morning without my prescription glasses, so that both my eyes and skin can absorb as much healing sun rays as possible. I proceed to then get as much sunshine as my daily schedule will allow.  Sunbathing with coconut oil is a favorite pastime, along with long walks outdoors in the heat of day.

The Latest Research on the Sun

Dr. Michael Holick, PhD, MD, has done tremendous research on the benefits and importance of the sun and vitamin D for general health. Continue reading →

10 Lessons of the Recent Flu Season

The recent winter flu season of 2017-2018 witnessed numerous news headlines warning of terrible flu outbreaks and countless deaths. With these warnings came stern recommendations for Americans to get their flu shots, followed by suggestions to take prescription Tamiflu if recommended by one’s physician. Many Americans followed and preached this advice to others.

The news reports circulated among holistic health communities and a minority of mainstream media outlets were quite different. Health reports spread of the flu vaccine’s failure to prevent flu, while also spreading and causing the flu itself. The flu vaccination was reported to cause death and paralysis in the form of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Integrative physicians shared well-documented research proving that Tamiflu was ineffective at treating flu, with increasing risks of deaths and frightening hallucinations. Statistical manipulation of flu data and deaths was reported as part of a sales campaign to market flu vaccinations. Integrative doctors recommended safer and more effective protocols for preventing and treating the flu.

Discerning the real truth in conflicting reports can be challenging. Will Americans continue to follow doctors’ orders regarding flu prevention and treatment in spite of the controversy and evidence to the contrary? Growing numbers of individuals are wisely opting out of the flu vaccine and using natural immune boosters and treatments. Continue reading →

My Successful Fight with Eczema Using Natural Approaches

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I have struggled with very mild skin issues my entire life. These skin problems have included severe poison ivy outbreaks in the summer time, responding only to 7 days of oral steroid treatment. I also experienced mild cases of eczema which would come and go.

While in the more distant past I would often seek counsel from a dermatologist who usually prescribed steroid creams to suppress my symptoms, more recently I sought help from my holistic physician. My alternative doctor explained to me that eczema is a signal of an internal imbalance or infection, which my body was trying to eliminate through my skin, the largest organ for detoxification. I felt better addressing and treating the underlying cause, rather than only treating the symptom. Beginning in the Spring of 2008, with the onset of a serious family health crisis, I had begun embracing, seeking and learning about alternative medicine and preferred this approach in resolving most health issues.

8 Ways to Safely Take Charge of Your Health While Avoiding Toxic Vaccines

fermenting 057Our country is overwhelmed with chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease, auto-immune disorders and diabetes. [1] Many of these illnesses can be prevented and treated with nutrition and reduction of toxins. [2-5] Nutrition and toxic overload are areas of health largely ignored by the conventional health industry. Instead, every disease imaginable, including cancer, diabetes and auto-immune disorders, is being targeted for development of a new vaccination. [6-7]

Unfortunately, vaccinations have never been proven safe or effective in preventing disease. [8-9]

This vaccine expansion program is even more misguided, when one considers the fact that many of these same diseases have been causally linked to vaccinations. [10-11] To complicate matters more, preventive care is often not covered by health insurance which focuses more on sick care. However, many safe, free or low cost health protocols can be implemented by almost everyone, independent of our health care system.

What follows are 8 strategies for taking charge of your health, including the first essential recommendation to avoid toxic vaccinations. Continue reading →

How Healthcare Was Bought Out Resulting in Today’s Focus on Pharmaceuticals and Vaccinations

Our health care system is now based on a pharmaceutical model of care with a strong emphasis on vaccinations. In the 1800s, homeopathic and nutritional health care approaches successfully treated many people who suffered during disease epidemics. Orthodox medical treatments were dangerous and comparatively less successful in treating patients.

Great divides existed between orthodox and homeopathic physicians. The attempt to suppress homeopathic medicine was accelerated in 1910 with the Flexner Report, influenced by the funding by John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. In effect, healthcare in the US was bought out and successful homeopathic physicians disallowed from further practice. This important change led to safe, inexpensive treatments being forced to the fringe of mainstream medicine, a practice which remains in effect today.

Understanding healthcare’s past can assist in better comprehending the obstacles and difficulties faced in today’s very slanted pharmaceutical and vaccine-based model of healthcare. Continue reading →
