2. ph Test – to determine Acid/Alkaline – a good reference is the pH Miracle for Weight Loss by Robert O. Young PhD. Available on the internet.

3. Beet Test – to determine your Bowel Transit Time – eat some beets and see how long it takes before you pass them. If it’s more than 24 hours you need to increase your fiber and water. Most health conditions are the result of constipation and low digestive enzymes. Visit www.enzymesQ&A for information about enzymes. After increasing fiber and water and enzymes you still aren’t having at least one bowel movement that floats and is not strong smelling you need to consult a Nutritional Consultant trained in Mind-Body Health and Wellness as soon as possible. A Healthy Digestive System is the second most important health rule after Right Thinking.

A few tips about "Blood Pressure" Monitoring.

If you buy or use a pharmacy blood pressure monitor you can discover for yourself which factors in your daily life (nutritional or emotional) may be contributing to your hypertension. Food allergies may also contribute to blood pressure fluctuations. Most cases of high blood pressure are labeled by doctors as being "essential" hypertension, meaning "without apparent cause." Most causes of essential hypertension, however, are either caused or aggravated by hidden allergies or sensitivities to common foods.

Anyone whose high blood pressure does not respond to conventional treatments can usually bring it down to normal range within five days or less by fasting. In the eliminating of all food, the problematic foods causing the hypertension have been avoided, allowing the body to normalize itself. There are less drastic ways than a total fast to discover the food-hypertension connection. Some substances are more likely culprits than others (e.g., caffeine, sugar, tobacco, alcohol). These should be eliminated first. If blood pressure has not normalized itself within fine days, then it is time to look for other offenders. That is where the home monitor comes in. Take your BP readings on rising, before each meal, and at one and two hour intervals after eating. Record the readings. If they increase significantly after certain meals, then look for common patterns in the foods eaten. Be prepared for some surprises. Many cases of hypertension are correlated with the consumption of oranges, wheat, and the nightshades (tomatoes, ,potatoes, peppers, eggplant, paprika, cayenne, chili, tobacco) – depending on your unique sensitivites. (For further details about food allergies consult "One’s Food is Another’s Poison, by David Rowland. Available from Rowland Publications or email: laara@vita-quest.com for your copy.

The home blood pressure monitor is also useful for measuring low adrenal function. To perform the postural (orthostatic) blood pressure test, take your blood pressure at first while sitting down and then again immediately after standing up. Under normal circumstances, there should be an increase in systolic (maximum) blood pressure reading of from 4 to 10 mm. Hg standing as compared to sitting. If this test does not produce an increase in blood pressure, or if results in a drop, then low adrenal function is highly suspect. This test works because it is the adrenal hormones that cause blood pressure to overcompensate temporarily for a quick change in body position from sitting to standing. Without adequate adrenal hormones, there will either be no change in blood pressure or a drop. The greater the drop, the more seriously underfunctioning the adrenal glands are likely to be.

7. Nutritional Symptomatology – to determine Nutritional Deficiencies & Excesses- E:mail Laara today for your Nutribody™ Questionnaire today – a fully illustrated 20-30 page printed report will be prepared especially for your signs, symptoms, name, life cycle and more…

Nutritional Symptomatology is a systematic way of surveying and analyzing your unique symptoms to discover possible nutritional causes for them. It is a practical way of assessing nutritional status that relies on a method of approximate but reliable measurement. It can detect deficiencies and imbalances long before they show up on laboratory tests.

Symptomatology relies on questionnaires that ask each person about her bodily and emotional complaints. Each symptom or sign listed on the Nutribody™ Questionnaire is one documented by scientific study or authoritative text to be related to a particular deficiency, excess or imbalance. Some of these symptoms may also have other possible causes unrelated to nutrition. Therefore. the questionnaire must also be able to measure consistency. In other words, (a) the more often or more severe a particular symptom is, the more likely it is related to the nutrient in question, and (b) the more symptoms a person has that are related to a particular nutrient, the more likely it is that there is a genuine need for it. Nutritional Symptomatology, is the single most useful assessment tool that a Nutritional Consultant can use. It provides useful information by itself, or it can be used in conjunction with the other methods described in this document. This allows you the client to participate in your assessment. It can be re-done at regular intervals (every six weeks or so) to measure progress and change.

1. BASAL TEMPERATURE TEST – Reference Nutritional Symptomatology – A Professional Guide – David W. Rowland, PhD – Rowland Publications

Blood tests for thyroid function are flawed. They measure only the thyroid hormone in the blood, which may have no relation to the amount of hormone that actually gets to the cells which need it. As a result of this laboratory limitation, most cases of hypothyroidism go undetected. Many clients are affected by this serious threat to their health.

The Basal Temperature Test (BTT) is an effective self-test for measuring thyroid function. It is far more reliable than any thyroid blood test. That is because the BTT measures the actual result of one critical thyroid activity, namely the maintenance of body temperature. Blood tests measure only the amount of thyroid hormone circulating in the bloodstream, which may or may not be typical of how much active hormone (T3) actually gets to the individual cells that need it.

Body temperature is directly related to thyroid activity. 37°C (98.6°F) is the ideal temperature at which all of the body’s biochemical reactions function most efficiently. At temperatures above or below this norm, chemical messengers become misshapen and no longer precisely fit the receptor sites they are intended to activate. A shift in temperature of only a fraction of a degree can have a significant effect on the degree of "fit" between enzyme and substrate, neurotransmitter and receptor, hormone and target cell, antibody and foreign protein.

The BTT requires taking underarm (axillary) temperature, first thing in the morning before arising, when the entire body is at complete rest. Men, pre-pubescent and post-menopausal women can take this test at any time. To eliminate the temperature fluctuations that accompany one’s cycle, menstruating women need to do the BTT on the second and third mornings after their flow starts.

To do the BTT, place a mercury-type clinical thermometer, well-shaken down, by the bedside upon retiring. Upon awakening and before stirring from bed, place the bulb of the thermometer under the armpit and hold it there for 10 minutes. Record the reading on two consecutive days. A range of from 36.6°C (97.8°F) to 36.8°C (98.2°F) suggests normal thyroid function. Temperatures below 36.6°C (97.8°F) indicate low thyroid function (hypothyroidism). Those above 36.8°C (98.2°F) indicate an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).

For small children who are unable or unwilling to remain still for 10 minutes, the BTT can be done by taking the rectal temperature for two minutes. Normal rectal temperature is from 37.1°C (98.8°F) to 37.3°C (99.2°F).

The BTT, as described above, is the most stable, repeatable way to measure the effect of thyroid activity on body temperature. Under-the-tongue readings are readily affected by sub-clinical inflammations, such as chronic sinusitis. Daytime readings may be influenced subtly by physical activity, tension, stress and the amount and timing of food consumed. Readings taken at inappropriate times during the menstrual cycle may be misleading.

In the absence of starvation (which reduces body temperature) and acute fever (which raises it), the BTT is the most effective single measurement we have for finding thyroid dysfunction. If used alone, it is probably over 85 per cent reliable. If combined with symptom surveys, (Nutribody™ Symptomatology Reports) however, reliability approaches 100 percent. In other words, if a person has both a low BTT reading and symptoms of low thyroid function, then hypothyroidism is almost certain – regardless of what any laboratory test may suggest.

A close approximation to the BTT can be made by taking oral temperature readings at least four times per day, every three hours or so. Record the time of day each reading was taken and the resultant temperature. Continue to take these daily readings each day for at lest a week, at exactly the same time each day. At the end of each day, average the four readings. Average readings below 37°C (98.6°F) indicate hypothyroidism. Those above suggest either hyperthyroidism or fever caused by infection. Because oral temperatures taken during the day are not strictly indicative of basal metabolic rate, it is necessary to average a series of routine readings in order to reduce the possibility of extraneous influences.

DETOXIFICATION

 

Detoxifying your body is an essential element of Glowing Vital Health in this Industrialized World. This excerpt from Andreas Moritz’ Book "The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush" will help you to read your Bodily Symptoms pertaining to the all important Liver & Gallbladder & Bowel.

It is so important to detoxify our bodies—to rid ourselves of the various toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis. These toxins can result in hormonal imbalances that can lead to the development of chronic conditions including; arthritis, asthma, allergies, autoimmune disorders, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, eczema, fibromyalgia, etc. Chronic illness and poor health is caused, in part, by the exposure to toxic elements that poison the cells of the immune system, the hormonal system, the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and in fact, the whole body and mind. A proper detoxification program can allow the body to get rid of the physical & emotional toxins and begin to heal itself. The liver’s job is to render these toxic agents harmless so that they can be excreted in the stool and the urine. Problems develop when our detoxification pathways become overwhelmed as a result of overexposure to harmful chemicals & repressed emotions. If the liver is unable to render these agents harmless, toxicity will build up in the liver and then move throughout the rest of the body. As the toxicity builds, more cellular damage occurs until the immune system is unable to do its job. This can set the stage for borderline or chronic illness to take hold. It is vitally important to keep the detoxification pathways open and functioning optimally. The way to do this is to periodically use a proper detoxification program.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR BODY NEEDS TO DETOXIFY?

*Many thousands of patients suffering from almost any kind of illness, including terminal diseases have been found to have large numbers of gallstones in the liver and in many cases, also in the gallbladder. By eliminating these stones through the liver flush and introducing simple health-forming habits and supportive measures, these persons have recovered from diseases that have defied both conventional and alternative methods of treatment".

What follows is a description of some of the most common signs indicating the presence of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. If you have any of them, you are most likely to derive great benefits from flushing your liver and gallbladder. In my practice, I have found these indications to be highly accurate. In case you are not sure whether you have stones or not, it may be useful to cleanse the liver anyway; it can improve your health significantly, regardless. There is an old saying: "The proof of the pudding is in eating"." The only way to prove to yourself that you have gallstones is to do the liver flush. You will discover that by removing all the stones, the symptoms of disease will gradually disappear and health will return to normal. Especially Digestion Health".

Signs & Marks

The Skin:

"The skin’s major function is to continuously adjust our internal body to the ever-changing external environment, i.e., temperature, humidity, dryness, light, etc. In addition, it is there to protect us against injury, microbes and other harmful agents. Apart from having to deal with these external influences, the skin also monitors and changes according to internal changes taking place within the body. Accordingly, the skin reflects the condition of the emotions, organs and body fluids, including the blood and lymph. Any long-term abnormal functioning of the body will inevitably show up in the skin as eczema, skin blemishes, discoloration or changed condition, such as dryness, oiliness, wrinkles, lines, etc. Almost all skin disorders have their root in an imbalanced emotions, bowel & liver conditions. Gallstones lead to circulatory disorders, which reduce the nutrient supply to, and waste removal from, the skin and prevent healthy development and normal turnover cycles of skin cells. The following marks are particularly indicative of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder";

  • Black Spots and small or large brown patches that are the color of freckles or moles. They usually appear on the right or left side of the forehead, between the eyebrows or under the eyes. They may also show up just above the right shoulder or between the shoulder blades. Most prominent are the so-called liver spots on the back of the hands and forearms, often seen among middle-aged and elderly people. If gallstones, spontaneously excreted by the gallbladder, get caught in the colon, such spots may also appear in the area where the thumb and index finger meet. The liver spots usually start fading after the majority of stones are removed from the liver and gallbladder. Most people assume that the liver spots are due to sun damage and "normal" aging. This is a myth. Liver spots, as the name suggests come from the liver. Sun exposure merely brings to the surface of the skin any existing acidic waste deposits.
  • Vertical Wrinkles between the eyebrows. There may be one line or two, sometimes three lines in this region: These lines or wrinkles, which are not a part of natural aging, indicate an accumulation of many gallstones in the liver. They show that the liver is enlarged and has hardened. The deeper and longer the wrinkles are, the more progressed the deterioration of liver function is. A line near the right eyebrow also indicates congestion in the spleen. Furthermore, the vertical lines represent a great deal of repressed frustration and anger. Anger arises when gallstones prevent proper bile flow. A bilious nature is one that keeps toxins trapped – toxins that the liver tries to eliminate via bile. Vice versa, anger can trigger gallstone formation. If white or yellow patches accompany the wrinkles, there may be a cyst or tumor developing in the liver. Pimples or growth of hair between eyebrows, with or without wrinkles, indicate that liver, gallbladder and spleen are affected.
  • Horizontal wrinkles across the bridge of the nose. These are a sign of pancreatic disorders due to gallstones in the liver. If a line is very deep and pronounced, there may be pancreatitis or diabetes.
  • Green or dark color of the temple area at the sides of the head. This shows that the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen are underactive due to deposits of gallstones in both the liver and gallbladder. This may be accompanied by a green or blue color on either sides of the bridge of the nose, which indicates impaired spleen functions. A horizontal line across the bridge of the nose implies weakness of the pancreas.
  • Oily skin in the area of the forehead. This reflects poor liver performance due to gallstones. The same applies to excessive perspiration in this part of the head. A yellow color of the facial skin indicates disorders of the bile functions of the liver and gallbladder and a weakness of the pancreas, kidneys and excretory organs.
  • Hair loss in the central region of the head. This mark indicates that the liver, heart, small intestines, pancreas and reproductive organs are becoming increasingly congested and aggravated. There is a tendency to develop cardiovascular disease, chronic digestive problems, and formation of cysts and tumors. Early graying of hair shows that the liver and gallbladder functions are underactive.
  • Hardening and thickening at the tip of the nose. This indicates chronic liver weakness, resulting in hardening of the arteries and accumulation of fat around the heart, liver, spleen. Kidneys and prostate glands. If the enlargement is excessive and blood vessels are visible, a heart attack or stroke may be imminent.
  • The nose is constantly red. This condition shows an abnormal condition of the heart, with tendency towards high blood pressure (hypertension). A purple nose indicates low blood pressure. Both conditions are due to imbalanced liver, digestive and kidney functions.
  • Cleft nose or indentation of the tip of the nose. This mark indicates irregular heartbeat and heart murmur. If one half of the cleft nose is larger than the other, this shows that one side of the heart is abnormally enlarged. Arrhythmia and panic attacks may accompany this condition. There may be severe lymphatic congestion caused by digestive disorders such as constipation, colitis, stomach ulcer, etc. Liver functions are subdued because of large amounts of gallstones cutting off blood supply to liver cells. Bile secretions are insufficient. Liver flushing may even see the cleft disappear.
  • The nose is bending towards the left. Unless caused by an accident, this asymmetric shape of the nose implies that the organs on the right hand side of the body are underactive. These include liver, gallbladder, right kidney, ascending colon, right ovary or testicle and the right side of the brain. The main cause for this condition is an accumulation of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder (the nose is likely to return to center once the stones are removed).
  • The Eyes. Skin color under the eyes is yellowish. This indicates that the liver and gallbladder are overactive. A dark, even black color in the same area results when the kidneys, bladder and reproductive organs are overtaxed because of a prolonged disorder of the digestive system. A grayish, pale color occurs if the kidneys and, occasionally, the lungs are malfunctioning to improper lymph drainage from these organs. Also the endocrine system may be affected.
  • Water-containing bags under the lower eyelids. These are formed due to congestion in the digestive and excretory organs, affecting proper lymph drainage from the head area. If these eye bags are chronic and contain fat, this points towards the presence of inflammation, cysts and, possibly, tumors in the bladder, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus and prostate.
  • A white cloud covers the pupil of the eye. The cloud consists mostly of mucous and degenerate protein particles. It indicates the development of cataracts brought about by longstanding poor liver and digestive performance.
  • Constant redness in the white of the eye. This condition is caused by protrusion of capillaries, indicating disorders in the circulatory and respiratory functions. White/yellow mucous patches in the white of the eye show that the body is accumulating abnormal amounts of fatty substances because the liver and gallbladder have accumulated large amounts of gallstones. When this occurs, there is a tendency towards developing cysts, benign and malignant tumors.
  • A thick white line is covering parts of the periphery of the iris, particularly the lower parts. This indicates accumulation of large amounts of cholesterol in the blood circulatory system. There is also major congestion and fat retention in the lymphatic system.
  • The eyes have lost their natural luster and shininess. This signals that both the liver and kidneys are congested and unable to filter the blood properly. "Dirty" blood, loaded with toxins or waste products, is heavier and more sluggish than clean blood. The thickened blood slows circulation and reduces oxygen and nutrient supply to the cells and organs, including the eyes. If this condition persists, the cells will deteriorate and inevitably age or die off. The eye and brain cells are especially affected because the blood has to flow against gravity to reach them. Most vision problems are the direct or indirect result of reduced blood-cleansing capacity by the liver and kidneys. Clean and nutrient-rich blood from a healthy, efficient liver can flow easily and nourish the eye tissues better, and thereby improve most eye-problems.
  • The Tongue, Mouth, Lips and Teeth. The tongue is coated yellow/white, especially in the back part. This indicates and imbalance in the secretion of bile, which is the major cause of digestive trouble. Toxic residues of undigested and fermented or putrefied food linger in the intestinal tract. This blocks lymph flow in the thoracic duct and prevents toxins and microbes in the throat and mouth area from being removed.
  • Teeth impressions on the sides of the tongue, often accompanied with white mucous discharge. This indicates weak digestion and inadequate absorption of nutrients from the small intestine.
  • Pimples on the tongue. They are indicative of poor digestion and presence of fermenting and putrefying food in both the small and large intestines.
  • Cracks on the tongue. These are signs of long-term colon trouble. Food is not mixed sufficiently with bile, which permits toxic acids to injure and derange the colon walls. There may be little or no mucous discharge on the tongue.
  • Repeated mucous discharge into the throat and mouth. Bile may regurgitate into the stomach, thereby irritating its protective lining and causing excessive mucous production. Some of the bile and mucous may reach the mouth area. This can create a bad taste (bitter) in the mouth and give rise to frequent attempts of clearing the throat, which at times involves coughing. Mucous discharge without bitter taste results when food is not digested properly and toxins are generated. The mucous helps to trap and neutralize some of these toxins, but as a side effect, it causes congestion.
  • Poor breath and frequent burping. Both signs point towards presence of undigested, fermenting or putrefying food in the GI tract. Bacteria acting on the waste material produce gases which can be very toxic at times, hence, the bad odor emanating from the breath.
  • Crust formations at the corners of the mouth. This indicates the presence of duodenal ulcers, caused by regurgitation of bile into the stomach, or other reasons discussed earlier. Ulcers in various parts of the mouth or tongue show that inflammation or ulceration is occurring in the corresponding parts of the GI tract. For example, a mouth ulcer on the outside parts of your lower lip points to the presence ulcer lesions in the large intestine. Herpes on the lip corresponds to more severe inflammation and ulceration of the intestinal wall.
  • Dark spots or patches on the lips. These marks occur when obstructions in the liver, gallbladder and kidneys have resulted in slowness and stagnation of blood circulation and lymph drainage throughout the body. There may be advanced, abnormal constriction of blood capillaries. If the color of the lips is reddish (dark) or purple, this indicates that heart, lungs and respiratory functions are subdued.
  • Swollen or expanded lips. This condition indicates intestinal disorders. If the lower lip is swollen, the colon suffers constipation, diarrhea or both, in alternation. Toxic gases are formed from improperly digested foods, which gives rise to bloating and abdominal discomfort. A swollen or enlarged upper lip indicates stomach problems, including indigestion, frequently accompanied by "heartburn." An abnormal, tightly closed mouth shows that a person suffers from disorders of the liver, gallbladder and, possibly, the kidneys. If the lower lip is dry, peels and splits easily, there may either be chronic constipation or diarrhea, and large amounts of toxic acids prevalent in the colon. This condition is accompanied by advanced dehydration of colon cells.
  • Swollen, sensitive or bleeding gums. Any of these symptoms occur when lymph drainage from the mouth area is inefficient due to intestinal lymph congestion. There is an overload of acid compounds in the blood. Inflammation deep in the throat, with or without swelling of the tonsils, is also caused by lymphatic blockage. Tonsillitis, which often occurs among children, is a sign of constant retention of toxins contained in the lymph fluids, and back-flushing of waste from the GI tract into the tonsils.
  • Tooth problems are generally caused by nutritional imbalance. Poor digestion and overconsumption of refined, processed and highly acid-forming foods, such as sugar, chocolate, meat, cheese, coffee, soda, etc., deplete the body of minerals and vitamins. Adults usually have 32 teeth. Each tooth corresponds to a vertebra of the spine and each vertebra is connected to a major organ or gland. If any of the four canines are decaying, for example, it indicates the presence of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. A yellow color of the teeth and the canines in particular, indicates presence of toxins in the organs located in the mid-abdominal region, i.e., the liver, gallbladder, stomach, pancreas and spleen. Bacteria are not the cause of tooth decay. They only attack tooth tissue that already has an unbalanced acid/alkali ratio. Proper saliva secretions also play a major role in the protection of the teeth. Truly healthy teeth last a lifetime and are maintained by a healthy digestive system.
  • Hands, Nails and Feet. White fatty skin on the fingertips is a sign of dysfunctional digestive and lymphatic systems. In addition, the liver and kidneys may be forming cysts and tumors. There is discharge of excessive sugar and fats.
  • Dark red fingernails point toward a high content of cholesterol, fatty acids and minerals in the blood. The liver, gallbladder and spleen are congested and underactive, and all excretory functions are overburdened with waste products. Whitish nails indicate accumulation of fat and mucous in and around the heart, liver, pancreas, prostate or ovaries. This condition is accompanied by poor blood circulation and low hemoglobin levels (anemia).
  • Vertical ridges in the fingernails generally indicate poor absorption of food and disruption of important digestive, liver and kidney functions. There may be general fatigue. Strong vertical ridges on the thumbnails, possibly with split ends, show that the functions of the testicles are ovaries are in disorder, caused by ineffectiveness of the digestive and circulatory systems. Horizontal indentations in the nails show unusual and drastic changes in dietary habits. White dots on the nails show excessive elimination of sugars from various food sources, accompanied by loss of calcium or zinc.
  • Hard protrusion at the ball of the foot. This condition shows progressive hardening of organs located in the middle of the body, including the liver, stomach, pancreas, and spleen. It points to accumulation of numerous gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. It also is a sign of physical and mental rigidity, with tendency toward domination, prejudice and jealousy.
  • A yellow color of feet indicates accumulation of many gallstones in the liver and gallbladder. If the color of any part of the feet is green, spleen and lymph functions are severely disrupted, which may lead to cysts, benign and malignant tumors.
  • Hardness at the tip of the fourth toe or a callous in the area under the fourth toe. This symptom shows that gallbladder functions are stagnant. General rigidity, bent condition, and pain in fourth toe imply a long history of gallstones in the gallbladder and liver.
  • Curving of the first toe. If the large toe curves inward towards the second toe, it shows that the liver functions are subdued due to the presence of gallstones in the liver bile ducts. At the same time, spleen and lymphatic functions are overactive due to the accumulation of toxic resides from inadequately digested foods, metabolic waste and cellular debris.
  • White color and rugged surfaces on the fourth and fifth toenails. This indicates poor performance of the liver and gallbladder, as well as the kidneys and urinary bladder.
  • The Constitution of Fecal Matter. The stool or fecal matter emits sharp, sour or penetrative odor. This indicates that food is not digested properly. Fermented and putrefied food and presence of large amounts of "unfriendly" bacteria in the feces give rise to an abnormal odor and sticky texture. Normal stool is coated with a thin mucous lining, which prevents the anus from being soiled.
  • Dry and hard stools are an indication of constipation and so are sticky stools. Diarrhea is yet another sign of weak performance of the digestive system and the liver, in particular.
  • The feces look pale or clay-colored. This is another indication of poor liver performance (bile gives the stool its natural brown color). If the stool floats, large amounts of undigested fats are contained in it, making it lighter than water.
  • Conclusion. There may be many more signs and symptoms indicating the presence of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder than lose listed above. Pain in the right shoulder, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, numbness in the legs, and sciatica, for example, may have no obvious relation to gallstones in the liver. Yet, by removing gallstones, these conditions usually disappear.
  • The body is a network of information, and every part influences and communicates with every other part. Seemingly insignificant marks or signs on the skin, in the eyes, or on the toe may be the harbingers of serious health issues. By recognizing them and cleansing the liver and gallbladder, in concert with adopting a healthy regimen of diet and lifestyle, the signs of wellness and vitality begin to reappear. To prevent illness and make permanent health a practical reality in your life, it is important to understand what actually causes gallstones in the first place.

To aid your Detoxification Process further here are six steps to a complete detoxification awareness program and they are:

1. Drink Adequate Amounts of Purified non-fluoridated water: To determine your personal Water Intake use this snappy formula:

l. Weight in pounds________/2

2. Result is recommended water intake in ounces.

3. Number of ounces ________________/8 = ______________glasses of simply pure water per day.

For each cup of coffee or tea add an additional 8 oz of water.

2. Heavy Metal Detoxification: Heavy metals can wreak havoc with the hormonal and immune systems. Heavy metals include: Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic and Nickel. Many people suffer from chronic disease because of heavy metal toxicity. Unless appropriate detoxification strategies are employed, the liver and other organs of the body will be functioning at a sub-optimal rate. Dental fillings are the leading source of mercury toxicity. Mercury is a cell toxin that can disrupt the functioning of the entire hormonal system. The thyroid, hypothalamus and pituitary glands are very sensitive to Mercury. Mercury and other heavy metal detoxification requires extreme care and close monitoring. Monitoring should include measurement of pre- and post- levels of heavy metals to check progress. Urine Challenge tests including the use of DMSA, DMPS, and Glutathione. Supplements that are helpful in the detoxification process include: cilantro, Vitamin C, selenium, fruit pectins, garlic, and chlorella or other green food supplements.

3. Improving the Diet: Eating a clean diet, free of pesticides and hormones, is a must for a detoxification program. I encourage my customers to eat whole foods, with adequate amounts of protein. Eliminating the "whites" –refined sugar, refined flour, and refined salt—will help any health condition and help any detoxification program greatly. Include a healthy home made soup every day – starting with soup bones, yams or sweet potatoes and plenty of parsley and cilantro and a dash of sea vegetables. This will insure high quality food sources of vitamins, minerals, calcium and iodine. A hot whole grain breakfast cereal gets you off to a roaring good start. Eliminate all dairy products and rotate, rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk and soy milk every four days to avoid allergens. Everyone’s Endocrine systems and the environment will benefit by trying to purchase bulk whole foods that have a limited amount of plastic. If at all possible use a composter for veggie peels. What a great way to clean up your body and environment all at one time. Mother Earth is our perfect Health Balance.

4. Use only Naturally Scented Essential Oils or Fragrances: The sense of Smell is a powerful mood generator. Memories are recalled by a simple whiff …the smell of cinnamon or baking bread can take us back to our childhood kitchen in a flash. One often over-looked area is the area of perfumes used in all personal care and household cleaning products. Wherever possible try to avoid all types of artificial scents, cleaning products and personal care products. So many allergies can be eliminated by carefully choosing what to put on our skin and into our atmosphere. A male friend who was highly affected by artificial and natural scents suggested that we "taste our skin". Intimate encounters of all types even a hug from a personal friend can leave us with a lingering scent that can literally upset our physical and emotional balance for the rest of the day. Everyone needs to be highly aware of how their scent …affects their immediate and world at large. With so many people on the planet we need to be highly aware of our precious Breath of Life….Do your part to smell the roses …naturally. Essential oils of orange, lemon, rose and many others are wonderful when added to Almond or Jojoba oil for a moisturizing body rub.

5. Sweating: The ability to sweat is often impaired in many individuals with chronic illness. Re-training the body to sweat is essential to stimulating the detoxification pathways of the body. An infrared or traditional sauna can be a real aid to this process. Rubbing hydrogen peroxide on the skin, 10 minutes before a shower will stimulate the sweat glands and the lymph system. You can also add 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide to the bath water to help (the optimum amount of food grade hydrogen peroxide will make the hairs on your skin bubble). Visit the www for the many ways hydrogen peroxide can be used to detoxify your body, home and even help your garden grow. Be sure to have specific instructions before using food grade hydrogen peroxide as it can be hazardous to your health if the dilutions are inaccurate.

6. A liver flush like the one outlined in Andreas Moritz’ book is a remarkable tool to help the body detoxify itself. Many times chronic illness will not improve until the liver is cleared of toxins. Flushing the liver of toxins can help improve the liver’s ability to filter out harmful chemicals, activate and deactivate hormones, release and store glucose, increase the body’s metabolism, improve digestion, and improve the functioning of the immune system. Begin a liver flush by cleaning up the diet. As previously mentioned, this can be done by removing the "whites" in the diet (white sugar, flour, and salt). Substitute only whole foods and drink adequate amounts of filtered water. Having a massage therapist do a lymphatic drainage technique is also helpful. There are many items that are helpful for a liver flush. It is advisable to work with a skilled health care practitioner when instituting a liver flush. You will get the best results when someone is there to guide you especially when using supplements to aid the liver. Renew Life Liver & Bowel cleanses and many other reputable products are available to simply detoxification. www.RenewLife.com for the many detoxification kits available or drop by your local Health Food store where advise on how to use them effectively is readily available.

In conclusion the idea of detoxification can seem daunting but often it is the last resort for many people who have tried everything else. Break detoxification down into "do-able" parts that fit in Easefully to your Lifestyle. You may begin simply by taking out the "whites" and adding a pure water. A proper detoxification plan can reverse chronic illness and certainly will improve the functioning of the immune system and all the systems of the body. Two additional books to read is "Detoxify or Die" by Sherry Rogers, M.D. and "The detoxx Book" by John Foster, M.D., Patricia Kane, PhD., and Neal Speight, M.D.
