More to share from the HGV mail room and the correspondence with our readers.

If there is one thing I can absolutely say, it is that all the sci-fi movies that have ever been made can not compare to the ‘real’ challenges we are facing today!

I have been a sci fi junkie my whole life and to have the HGV connection with folks sharing their experiences they are going thru, I could sell the ideas to Stephen King or John Carpenter! (I won’t, I’m just saying that truth is stranger than ANY fiction)

Most of these ‘bugs’ are a genetically modified organism – there is no doubt, and I am sure that Mother Nature has tossed in her versions as well because that is the nature of things…to evolve and change by the environment they/we find ourselves in…

Are you using Oil of Oregano? it is very a powerful anti parasite, but use with caution.
Making a tea of rosemary, thyme, oregano to drink is also a good idea.

You have to target them from the inside. A lot of folks fixate on hitting them topically but the source is deep inside.

And also remember that whatever you do immediately with using the far infrared sauna will increase efficacy of that supplement or detox strategy.

Your big challenge is intestinal (as it is for most) because of your current condition, it has created such an inhospitable terrain for your good guys, it has become a slum for the bad guys.

The job of the insect world is to ‘clean up’ the decaying material…you have got to stop the decay process ‘signal’ that your body is producing and digestion is the key.

Digestive Enzymes
Multi Minerals (not combined w/ vitamins)
Probiotics (copious amounts 40 million or more on an empty tummy twice a day)
ANU – It is so restorative on the small intestine and cellular terrain

These are your must start corrective strategies to regain control of your digestion. Until you do this, you are not able to properly nourish and therefore flourish…and the bugs are happily thriving.

Dr. Staninger recommends Lifespan Plus to target any nano materials lodged in the intestinal tract. http://www.mydiscounteverything.com/product/Lifespan-Plus-SCP

Lifespan Plus combines the benefits of Acetyl-L-Carnitine (800 mgs) , Alpha Lipoic Acid (300 mgs) , and Aloe Vera (40 mgs) per serving and taking twice a day. You may already have these things in your cabinet.

PS. also remember the healing therapy that Edgar Cayce loved…castor oil on flannel or cotton cloth placed on organ area to treat and then add heat – so you can use in your sauna to soothe the stressed out liver and gall bladder and everything else!

Within our network, we are building a list of practitioners that are out of the box and utilizing alternative medicine for the treatment of all kinds of diseases and health conditions.

After sending one reader a list for her area, she asked, “Is it okay to mention Morgellons to them?”

No matter what kind of doctor you speak with, the better (more acceptable) term to use these days is ‘hyper-toxicity’.

Many have discovered there is a lot of fear and mis-representation that has occurred in the last 5 or so years on the Morgellons term, but the main reason to say, “I am loaded with toxins” is because toxicity is the main issue behind Morgellons, and all disease for that matter.

The truth revealed by Trisha Springstead, Dr. Amin, Dr. Staninger, Dr. Scott, and many other professionals who have stepped up in these last years to help, is that it is a wide range of toxins and GMOs polluting our bodies (often in a cumulative effect) and that a comprehensive detox program is the protocol to success.

It can be any combination of heavy metals, parasites, advanced nano materials, medical and over the counter drugs (even vitamins), as well as daily chemical/environmental exposure, especially to household cleaners.

Recovering from this has nothing to do with the conspiracy theories of where it came from. The body doesn’t care about that- it is gummed up and needs to be cleansed, PERIOD.

Elimination of as many vectors as possible will also speed recovery and keep the issue from returning.

Many folks are talking about Morgellons going into dormancy, but this not going to be the case for most folks. Yes, there is a connection to weaponized pathogens but if we fully release the toxins and opportunistic organisms AND correct our biological terrain, we will recover and stop inviting these invaders to stay in our cells.

To understand more about this, click here to read the articles in Understanding Your Health.

It is important to also explain the potential of being re-exposed. So to keep flushing and correcting is the key to a life long with health and vitality.

I live in such a prevalent area for geo engineering aka chem trails that the other day, my daughter and I marveled that there were some ‘real’ clouds floating around for a change…if I had had my camera, I would have taking a picture for the novelty!

My family is on a regular diet of Far Infrared Therapy, ANU mineral water and all the foods and herbs that detox and heal our bodies.

I won’t live in the 21st Century without any of them!

Here’s to hearing about your own successful recovery.

It’s actually a funny notion to think we marvel at foods with healing properties, when in fact, if we had been eating “fresh” “live” “real” foods for the last several decades, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn of the amazing benefits associated with eating properly.

In fact, most Americans fall short on naming even one fresh food as part of their daily diets.

The large scale food industry found in today’s grocers, line more than 85% of the shelves with processed, artificially flavored, dead foods and these ‘faux foods’ are being aggressively marketed to our youth and busy family lifestyles.

The shiny bright labels boast homemade or ‘vitamin fortified’ while the ingredients list disclose modified food starches, various MSG derivatives, rancid oils bonded with hydrogen molecules to stabilize the putrification, and a whole new load of genetically modified organisms, GMOs, that are not being labeled.

Click on Foods That Detoxify And Heal to read our list of top preforming foods essential to add in your diet that will help support your desire to recover health and live a vital life.

Yes, DIET is a four letter word that has many folks running the other direction when they hear it. However, these diet tips can kill cancer cells, increase metabolism, and detox harmful materials like plastic from our vital organs.

So eat, drink and be merry can once again be a great way to live life!

Have a fantastic day,

CNN news reports the presence of Cesium-137 collected in water samples off the coast of Japan are worrisome to the nation’s nuclear safety agency because this radioactive isotope has a long half life.

‘Half life’ refers to how long it takes a substance to decay half it’s value, and was originally coined to describe unstable atoms found in radioactive decay.

After Wednesday afternoon’s sample showed levels of 527 times the standard, Michael Friedlander, US based nuclear engineer comments on this concern because, “Plankton absorbs the cesium, the fish eat the plankton, the bigger fish eat smaller fish — so every step you go up the food chain, the concentration of cesium gets                                      higher.”

Besides Cesium-137, we have very alarming spikes of the radioactive iodine-131 isotope.

“The amount in the samples, taken Wednesday some 330 meters (361 yards) into the Pacific Ocean, has surged to 4,385 times above the regulatory limit. This tops the previous day’s reading of 3,355 times above the standard — and an exponential spike over the 104-times increase measured just last Friday.”

More reports from sources like ABC news are following the radiative contamination showing up in our US milk supply.

It’s important to remember there are many fantastic foods to utilize right now for detoxing all these health hazards from our cell tissues.

Tan Koon Peng from Singapore writes: “Miso is effective for detoxifying your body of radiation. During World War II, two hospitals that were located side by side were hit with atomic radiation, in one hospital people consumed Miso and all of them survived while many people in the other hospital that did not take Miso died.

So join us tonight for a big bowl of the sweet Yellow Miso soup and don’t forget to crush in some seaweed flakes.
YUM,

Before today, radiation poisoning wasn’t something most of us have ever really been concerned about.

With the nuclear accident currently occurring at the Fukushima plant in Japan, it is of major global concern and the effects will be far reaching.

Many iodine supplements are already ‘out of stock’ across the internet and NOW is the time to educate ourselves on the many detox foods, herbs and protocols that will help prevent radiation poisoning or radiation sickness.

The article includes tips from Dr. Staninger who wrote a paper on Kelp and Radiation title, Flowers of The Sea…

“As Chernobyl proved, and health experts now agree, the greatest health concerns affecting the largest number of people form a nuclear accident or explosion are likely to be from radioactive iodine readily carried by the winds many miles downwind from the site of a nuclear event.”

Click on How to Detox Radiation Poisoning to learn exactly what foods, supplements, and herbs can help us stay healthy from this latest environmental disaster.

Remember, FLUSHING is always the key to prevention and recovery!

It is time to target and simplify the strategies that will begin you on your way to recovery!

Whether you have Morgellons, Lyme, Chronic Fatigue, Skin issues, Auto-immune disorders, heart problems, and (especially) digestive issues – employing cleanses that will target this vital group of organs involved in digestion is the key to unlocking a faster recovery potential from everything else you do.

When the works are gummed up and you can not absorb the nutrients needed to feed your cells, they die.

It’s not rocket science, but is the basic principles within Biology and Microbiology and we have several articles in both the “Understanding Your Health” and “Detox Protocols, Essentials For Recovery” section of our website.

To answer the original question of “What’s The First Thing To Do To Get Healthy?”, click on Detox Protocols and start right now on your road to recovering your health and vitality.

I have been drinking at least one glass of water with a 1/2 squeezed lemon in it every day since the news in January that pharmaceutical companies are in a race to patent the ‘secret ingredient’ that is killing cancer cells.

In fact, it is reported that lemons are 10 times stronger than chemotherapy!

The Institute of Health Sciences in Baltimore MD states in their report, “The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest manufacturers in the world, saying that more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, show the extracts revealed that it destroys the malignant cells in 12 TYPES OF CANCER, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas…”

Tonight I am doing a gall bladder-liver flush and I feel it has been a great detox tonic in preparation for this cleanse. (I don’t ever find these flushes ‘pleasant’ so maybe this time the passing will be much easier!)

You can click Detox Protocols to get the recipe I am doing, it is a very simple one and the most tasty in my opinion!

More health benefits of Lemons and citrus:

It is anti microbial spectrum against bacterial and fungal infections
Effective as an anti parasite
Regulates high blood pressure
Is an anti-depressant
Alleviates stress
Helps with nervous disorders
Is an excellent fruit and veggie wash
Excellent source of Vitamin C from the food matrix
Cleans bacterial forms from drinking water

And it’s yours to use with no expensive doctor bills or pharmacy costs!

How wonderful!

Every since starting this practice and recommending it to our readers, we have had lots of mail confirming the effectiveness of this detox technique.

100% of all those who have giving us feedback for using coconut pulling to relieving tooth pain and postponing an emergency visit to the dentist, say it was almost immediate.

More folks report that over time, it is definitely countering the tooth decay and complications that are associated with many chronic diseases.

At first, this idea may sound a bit…yucky, and in fact the very first moment of putting the oil in your mouth does feel, weird.
But as soon as you start swishing it around in your mouth, it begins to feel like a very gentle massage.

Studies are showing that it is effectively reducing the level of bacteria colonies that are hosted in the mouth. For the Lyme-suffering community, this may be a very cheap and simple detox principle to incorporate considering the Lyme Spirochete is prone to taking up residence in the gums and soft tissue of the mouth.

The American diet is just sooooo bad, don’t get me started!

Many folks do not realize the impact that their daily eating habits have on the success of their recovery program. A detox and re-build program is directly affected by the type of food eaten, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

In order to fully capitalize on a recovery program, we must make some diet changes as well.
I don’t like being a ‘soup nazi’ but the more fresh, organically/locally grown, alive foods that are eaten- the more we will affect our health and increase the efficacy of any other product or regime we are employing.

Our reader’s feedback in just the last few days has been about the increase in symptoms, pains, and general complaints…and guess what most folks have been doing for the last few weeks?
Eating more sugar, drinking more alcohol, eating away from their own homes, etc.

This demonstrates a direct correlation between what we eat and how we feel!

Here is a list of top offenders that can and will mess with your health!
Stop eating these foods:
*Modified food starch or version of like corn (read the label of cheerios, salad dressings, sauces, crackers, most packaged food).

*Any sugar source that is not ‘cane sugar’ including artificial ones. (Stevia is good, try the actual herb, it tastes much better!)

*All corn and soy products unless they specifically say GMO-free.

*Dairy unless it is organic (dairy has some of the highest doses of zeno estrogens- one of worst things for womens health and are endocrine disruptors).

*Bottle spices w/ any thing but the dried herb listed on label – start using fresh ones, they will naturally detox you.

*Sodas and fast food- very very bad!

*Do not drink bottled or carbonated water- the research now proves 100% that city water is better than bottled! There is plastic in all bottle water, plastic is the main toxin that is contributing to Morgellons symptoms.

*Hydrogenated and trans oils.

*Food from a box, able to heat in a microwave…or labeled ‘instant’ like certain desserts.

*MSG of any name this link has a great list of all the names assumed for MSG.

Unfortunately the news is out that the FDA is allowing ingredients that are on our hit list to simply not be listed any longer.
The latest is Neotame, a revamp of the artificial sweeteners that are proven to be carcinogenic and hazardous to our health, now have permission to use them even in organic processed foods without mentioning it on the label.

This doesn’t make our job easier, obviously, but it does mean that the more live, fresh foods we eat, the less likely we are going to be poisoned by toxins hiding in our food.

It is a simple solution, eat fresh or take your chances.
Okay, I am definitely sounding like a soup nazi now…

So if we make the best choices we can every day, and then keep the detox protocols handy for flushing any time we feel the system get overloaded, we can enjoy ourselves and stay healthy.

Eliminate these other products:
*use of over the counter medicines/cold, allergy, etc.

*use of chemicals for cleaning.

*antibacterial and antimicrobial soaps.

*cooking w/ microwave.

Also be sure to drink your gallon of water a day and always do your probiotics and minerals. We have a new series of articles publishing about the value of re-mineralizing and the effects that mineral deficiencies have on our health.

May 2011 be the year of healing our body, mind and soul for the global inhabitants of this incredible planet.

Taurine has been a relatively uncommon supplement  in the health and wellness world. However, Taurine is an important amino acid that helps detoxify the body and assists the processes involved in your metabolism, nervous system, brain and visual pathways.

Dr Staninger has referred to Taurine as a “universal detoxifier”. It helps activate and catalyze the necessary processes for our body to flush toxins properly.

Taurine helps stabilize cell membranes by allowing the passage of sodium and potassium ions in and out of the cells in your body.

It is a naturally occurring amino acid and part of our bile that is found in the lower intestine. Cysteine, methionine and Vitamin E is needed to synthesize Taurine. Taurine is found in animal protein and although the adult human body naturally produces the amino acid, vegetarians may suffer from a deficiency. (3 squirts of Braggs a day can help the amino acids to stay!)

Taurine is essential for the proper functioning of the skeletal muscles, nervous system and cardiac function.

The bodybuilding community is giving Taurine a lot of attention lately as a supplement to help recover quicker from their intense weight training program.

It is important in the development and maintenance of healthy eyesight. It is effective in helping control high blood pressure. Taurine is also useful in removing fatty deposits in the liver. It is beneficial in removing excess fluid retention, especially in women during their menstrual periods.

Just like so many other vital nutrients needed for a healthy body, Taurine needs the proper balance of many other supplements or we can experience a deficiency.

Taurine deficiency can occur for a number of reasons and may cause serious problems with your body; including depression, hypertension, kidney problems, impaired vision, weight gain, and anxiety.

One indicator of Taurine deficiency is night-blindness.

One of the most common causes of Taurine deficiency is when your body is not making enough of the amino acid. This is likely because your body is already experiencing a deficiency in other essential products needed to produce Taurine. Deficiencies in vitamin A, zinc, vitamin B6 and the amino acids methionine and cysteine can cause the problem of not making enough Taurine.

Certain bacteria, especially anaerobic bacteria, can interrupt the Taurine creation process. These disease-causing organisms can interrupt the bile production process, which in turn degrades the Taurine that is produced.

Ingesting too much monosodium glutamate (MSG) can also cause a Taurine deficiency. This popular food additive, has been re-named and now shows up in many of our food products, has degrading effects on Taurine in the body. Even though the popularity of MSG has decreased as more information surfaces about the harmful effects of the additive, go here to learn the names that you may find on your food labels at home:  http://www.msgmyth.com/hidename.htm

Back to the idea of Taurine as a detoxifier, my point is to raise the awareness of the value of Taurine for our overall health. I do not want to give the impression that if you take Taurine you will not have any toxic issues.

The most important thing to remember about exposure to any kind of toxin within our environment is that it must be actively targeted with the correct detox products, binders, and chelators in order for our body to release the build up that has occurred. These poisons will not just go away on their own.

Have a super healthy day,
