The
causes of your heartburn may be gall bladder congestion, lack of
hydrochloric acid in the stomach, deficiency in enzymes, or an
irritated small intestine. When your body is low in hydrochloric acid,
food rots in the stomach. This rotting food produces pyruvic and lactic
acid that forms the pain in ulcers.
In
all of my years in practice, I’ve seen many of my heartburn clients
enjoy complete relief and freedom from this problem. Usually, it takes
about four to six weeks, but I’ve had clients overjoyed after their
heartburn went away in about a day. In fact, one client found relief
after years of taking “little purple pills” and antacids, just with one
supplement! Now, she doesn’t need the supplement and sticks to a good
diet to maintain her health.
When people suffer from acne, it can be devastating for them.
Well-meaning people tell acne suffers that they will simply “grow out
of it,” but that’s not very consoling at any age!
Acne
can be brought on by a hormonal imbalance, a toxicity of chemicals or
metals in the body or a food allergy. If the liver has any difficulty
cleansing the body of toxins by itself, it recruits other “organs of
excretion” to help, including the skin. In fact, there is an old
naturopathic saying, “Bad skin means a bad liver.” Acne is a sign of an
internal problem, not an external one. Creams and lotions may help to
cover up the symptoms on the skin, but unless the body is helped
internally, acne may never subside.
One of my clients, a female in her late twenties, resolved her acne in
three months by taking two supplements per day, at a total cost of $41!
She was ecstatic about the results, and she is more confident in her
appearance. top
Cancer can be a terrifying and difficult subject for anyone it touches.
Did you know that everyone has cancer cells? This is the body’s way of
getting rid of mutated DNA. If the immune system is compromised,
however, the mutated cells can grow at will and cause problems.
When
cancer cells are grown in a petri dish in a lab, they are fed sugar to
keep them alive. Poisonous chemicals are applied to them to try and
kill them, but if the sugar is taken away, the cells simply die,
regardless of how many chemicals they are subjected to.
All
cancer cells have three things in common. The first is a toxicity,
usually a heavy metal like mercury. This leads to the second, which is
a virus or a bacterium. The virus will go away if the toxicity is
removed. The third commonality is a deficiency of good, essential fatty
acids. The lesson to learn is that anyone with cancer or pursuing
cancer prevention should pursue regimens of cleansing and supplementing
essential fatty acids like fish oil or flax oil.
It
is important to understand and look into every option when you or a
loved one is diagnosed with cancer. This will empower you with the
information you need to make decisions on health care that are right
for you. top
The conventional view on cholesterol is to cut fat almost completely
out of the diet. This can have disastrous results, not to mention being
bland and unsatisfying. Actually, it is large amounts of carbohydrates
and sugar, not fat that can shoot someone’s cholesterol sky-high. For
example, a client of mine dropped forty-four cholesterol points in six
weeks without drugs. He now feels thirty years younger and has more
stamina and mental clarity, and he actually enjoys food again! Another
major cause of high cholesterol is constipation. Two bowel movements
per day or less is constipation. Three is normal.

Dr.
Atkins, the renowned nutrition expert, says that 98% of people on blood
sugar-reducing drugs and 50% of people on insulin for diabetes can free
themselves from taking the drugs by merely modifying their diet. One of
my clients actually had been a sufferer of hypoglycemia for many years.
She would get tired, irritable, and depressed, especially after eating
fruit. She would be fine, and then, CRASH! Then, she learned that
eating adequate fat and protein and never allowing her to get hungry
were the keys to feeling better. Now, adhering to this diet plan has
given her more energy and the desire to use it. There are great
supplements that can begin to repair the pancreas and digestive system
to help you feel better. top
Many people are unwilling to discuss
their difficulties with digestion. They feel embarrassed and
uncomfortable, not to mention the pain and suffering they experience on
a daily basis. Digestive disorders are reversible, though, and many of
my clients already have recovered from these uncomfortable problems.
Digestive disorders all have one thing in common, regardless of what
they’re called; they all arise from irritation of the intestinal
lining. The irritation can be caused by stress when cortisol levels are
increased, medications including antibiotics, an allergy to wheat or
and parasitic infestation (including viruses, worms, bacteria and
fungi).
One
of my clients had an agonizing thirteen-year bout with colitis.
Numerous tests and drugs (taken up to nine times a day) took up most of
her time. Now, though, after over a decade of suffering, she has found
near-complete relief with herbs and diet.
A
woman who came to me was suffering with Crohn's disease and colitis for
22 years. She had been in the hospital over 100 times. I put her on a
particular supplement from Standard Process, which has been around
since 1952. It handles the cause of Crohn's and colitis. She is
extremely happy at the results and will testify to anybody with these
conditions that they need to be on it because IT WORKS! top
In
1821, the average American ate ten pounds of sugar per year. Today, we
eat two hundred and ten pounds of sugar per year! The amount of natural
fats as found in animal products and butter consumed in the last sixty
years has decreased, yet heart disease continues to rise. Also, our
consumption of refined, white flour products has increased
dramatically. Artificial fats or hydrogenated fats as found in
processed food and light-yellow vegetable oils (such as corn oil) have
also been added to our daily food habits. These factors contribute to
the increased incidence of heart disease. top
This
is shocking for most people, because many “experts” will tell us that
fat is deadly. But, it is not the culprit when it comes to heart
disease. In fact, many essential fats are vitally important in
contributing to a healthy and strong circulatory system.
Have
you, a friend, or a loved one spent your precious lunch hours or
gatherings discussing minor aches and pains that just seemed to keep
getting worse? Your feet hurt from being on them all day, your back
hurts from being in a chair that resembles a medieval torture device
more than a piece of furniture, and you still have neck pain from that
little fender-bender that happened over a year ago. It’s just a
function of getting older, you’ll say to yourself. But you don’t have
to suffer any more!
Pain
is our body’s way of letting us know that we may be hurt. When you fall
down and skin your knee, your brain receives a signal from the nerves
in the knee that registers as “pain” or “hurt.” Sometimes, though,
feelings of pain are not that instantaneous. They can come and go
quickly, like when you skin your knee, or they can persist as an
indicator of a long-standing physical problem, as in the case with
joint pain (i.e., arthritis) or even some digestive disorders.
Sometimes, people feel pain for no apparent reason, all over their
bodies. It can wax and wane, be better or worse, but it never quite
seems to go away.
I
have helped many people with chronic and acute aches and pains, minor
and major. One client in particular had been suffering from chronic
joint pain for years. I recommended a few dietary changes and within a
week, her pain was completely gone. Another client of mine had been
experiencing severe headaches off and on since puberty, accompanied by
lower back pain. After only a month of treatment, her pain was lessened
and her headaches have disappeared. There are specific treatments for
the different types of pain that exist: muscle, nerve, ligament,
internal organ, etc. It's important to get muscle-tested to find out
what is going on with your body. top |
