One of the best books ever to have been recommended to me is called Sick and Tired?: Reclaim Your Inner Terrain, by Dr Robert Young (no relationship to the actor) and his wife, Shelly. I recommend this book more than any other we’ve ever touched upon at this web site. And I’ll tell you why as I go along here.

 I’ve always had suspicions that, no matter what our research here has uncovered, there was still something missing. All too often we'd come across something that has no historical perspective. Take Roy Rife: his work came, it would seem, from nowhere, and after his research was destroyed, it went nowhere. Then there is Gaston Naessens. We’ve talked about his cure for cancer called 714X, but his work with somatids, again, had no apparent historical perspective. His discovery comes from nowhere, and goes nowhere as medicine refused to accept his theories, even though they are well documented with slides, movies, and even a multimedia show.

With the discovery of Sick and Tired, I finally discovered the missing link. Dr Young shows us a history that has been wiped out of our medical texts and wiped out for a good reason. If we were to acknowledge these lost discoveries, everything we know about medicine today would topple.

It is our intention to display for you objective scientific research that has been ignored, covered up, and abandoned by those who profit from your being ill.

Despite a system that treats symptoms only, kills 3 to 6 thousand people weekly, cures one thing only to cause another, conventional medicine is still very popular. Why? Because it is based upon religious tenets and not upon science. (See Modern Medicine: The New World Religion) And, as we'll mention once more in this newsletter, modern conventional medicine is popular because it works instantly; you take a pill, and the pain is gone. How much more wonderful could that be? 

The Germ Theory

Everyone has heard of Louis Pasteur. He is considered the father of the Germ Theory of Medicine and he invented the process of pasteurization. Despite the simple fact that the Germ Theory of Medicine was at least a hundred years older than Pasteur, his experiments that supposedly "proved" this theory have established him as a cornerstone in Modern Medical History.

Too bad much of his work was plagiarized and totally unscientific. 

What most of us don’t know about Pasteur is that throughout his career, he too often doubted his assumptions. On his death bed, he even recanted saying the Germ Theory was all wrong: "It’s the terrain, not the germ."

But did we hear his last words? No.

Was he speaking of the immune system? If we have a strong immune system, the germ doesn’t matter, does it?

Wrong, he was not speaking of the immune system. As Dr Young points out in Sick and Tired, the immune system’s function of fighting off germs is its secondary job. If you’re immune system is battling off bugs, you’re driving on a "spare tire," according to the good doctor.

The Terrain

What exactly is a healthy terrain?

Dr Young’s book introduced me to Antoine Béchamp. I looked him up on the web and read one of his books published there. Amazing stuff. You won’t find Béchamp’s name in the history of medicine. He and his work have been expurgated. When he died, his accomplishments were listed in a journal. They took up seven pages. Some of the things we attribute to Pasteur were actually accomplished by Béchamp.

Even though Béchamp was a scientist, his work is very easy to read. Scientists hadn’t yet developed their Latin/Greek lingo that would keep the average person on the sidelines looking in.

The first thing I read by him was a study on cats. One group was fed cooked foods and the other was fed raw foods. The raw foods group were much healthier than the group fed cooked foods. By the third generation, the young of the cooked foods group (also getting cooked foods) did not survive into adulthood.

Is there any wonder why the Cancer Diet is 70% live foods?

Now Béchamp was a critic of Pasteur’s. Pasteur hated Béchamp, mainly because Béchamp was constantly finding fault in Pasteur’s work. For instance, Pasteur’s experiments that "proved" his germ theory were less than scientific, according to Béchamp . Pasteur had injected healthy animals with the blood of a sick animal. The healthy animals got sick.

First off do I need to point out that we do not catch germs in this fashion? I mean, if I had to get an injection to catch a cold, I’d never catch one.

Secondly, there are too many variables in a syringe full of a sick animal’s blood to "prove" that the germs in the blood are making the experimental animal sick. Béchamp made the obvious observation that Pasteur was poisoning the blood of the experimental animal.

Claude Bernard was also a contemporary of Pasteur’s. On Pasteur’s deathbed, he admitted that Bernard was right and that he, Pasteur, was wrong (though he never mentioned his nemesis Béchamp).

Bernard is considered the Father of Experimental medicine today. He was a physiologist. However, his greatest achievements are entirely overlooked today. Let me give you one example of this man’s assertions.

Amidst a group of physicians and scientists, Claude Bernard made the statement: "The terrain is everything; the germ is nothing," and then drank down a glass of water filled with cholera.

There are not many scientists who are willing to risk their lives on a theory. This we know. Claude Bernard has few equals in the history of medicine.

Germs Do Not Cause Disease

The most telling "concept" that has ever crossed my desk is the quotation Dr Young uses right at the beginning of his book, Sick and Tired:

If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat—diseased tissue—rather than being the cause of the diseased tissue; e.g., mosquitoes seek the stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to become stagnant. Rudolph Virchow (Father of Pathology)

Do you understand the importance of this? When I read this quotation for the first time, it hit me like a brick. I’ve always known the terrain was the key, but I had always thought of the terrain as the immune system. I had had no idea that the proper terrain alone was, by itself, enough for perfect health. Nor had it ever occurred to me that the immune system was merely a backup system that took over when the terrain failed. 

So, Béchamp was, in effect, telling Pasteur that his experiments proved nothing because it poisoned the experimental animal’s terrain, hence allowing the germs to attack the diseased tissues caused by the poisoning.

Before we go any further, we need to know this…

Take a banana and place it on a counter next to a piece of cheese. Place a glass over the cheese so it doesn't dry out too quickly. Now watch them both over the over the next few days. What do you think will happen? The banana starts to turn black and the cheese begins to mold. They go bad. They rot. 

Now slice open the cheese. Inside, no mold. Slice open the banana. It's rotten inside. Smell the banana and you'll smell a hint of alcohol. It's fermenting.

Something that perhaps only a few of you already knew is: The cheese molds from the outside in, but the banana rots from the inside out.

The banana was alive. The cheese is not alive. 

Every living thing comes equipped with it’s own janitorial service that goes to work when it dies. They are programmed to clean up the mess our dead bodies leave behind.

This is a VERY important concept for us to know and remember, always.

Healthy Terrain

So what is healthy terrain? Béchamp began to describe it nearly two hundred years ago, but Claude Bernard finally put it this way. It consists of two internal factors:

1. Alkalinity

2. Negative Electrical Charge

Contributing to a healthy terrain are two factors, according to Bernard:

1. Nutrition

2. Toxins

One must have proper nutrition and be free of toxins to maintain a healthy terrain. More recent studies add one more factor contributing to a healthy terrain: Emotions/Mental Health.

In our last newsletter we touched upon psychoneuroimmunology with a small test that you can take on your own (Click Here to see it). The higher the score, the greater your chances of getting sick. Why? Well, the higher the score, the greater your acidity/the less your alkalinity. There is an emotional side to our terrain. You can do everything the books tell you to keep your body alkaline, but if you have unchecked emotional issues, you will still be acidic. This is the body/mind connection, or as someone put it: emotional toxicity. 

We live in a toxic society. Our food, water, air is poisoned. Additionally, we are poisoning ourselves with drugs, alcohol, smoke, and even the way we cook our foods (barbecuing, microwaving).

Nearly every drug your doctor gives you causes your body to become acidic. Every can of pop, every cup of coffee, every teaspoon of sugar, every piece of chicken, steak, or fish you consume causes your body to become acidic.

The Clean-Up Crew Within

Béchamp theorized that there was a particle of life in us, the smallest living thing on the planet, called a microzyma. It is a plant. Scientists previous to Béchamp had seen these little "molecular granulations" but had no idea what they were. Gaston Naessens discovered somatids. Are they the same thing? I think so. Many think so. The newer powerful dark field microscopes allow doctors and scientists to view living tissues.

The microzymas are part of the clean-up crew that lives within all of us.

Now, one place where modern medicine is completely off track is in our standard blood tests. They take blood, stain it, freeze it, and examine it.

Blood is alive. It is not a liquid, but a mobile tissue (Béchamp was the first to describe blood thus). The things in our blood are alive. And one thing modern medicine does not accept is that something like a bacterium can change into a yeast that can turn into a fungus that can turn into a mold. We’ve talked about this in previous newsletters; it is called pleomorphism. Pleo meaning many and morph meaning form or body.

Dr Young, the author of Sick and Tired has watched these tiny creatures change from one to another under a dark field microscope. He has even seen a red blood cell turn into a bacterium and then back into a red blood cell. Yet it might take 100 more years for medical science recognize this fact. You will see why shortly.

The True Definition of Disease

When does disease begin? In our culture, disease begins at the onset of symptoms. In Chinese medicine, disease begins much earlier. However, with the theories of Béchamp followed by the scientific and verifiable research of Professor Gunter Enderlein (who basically proved all the theories of Béchamp), we now have a new definition of disease.

Disease begins when our alkaline tissues turn acidic and when our negative energy charge turns positive.

This is the beginning of disease.

Perhaps we should be quoting Dr Arthur C Guyton MD who wrote the Textbook of Medical Physiology (once used in most medical schools):

The first steps in maintaining health is to alkalize the body ( pH or acid/alkaline balance). This is one of the most important aspects of homeostasis. Changes in pH alter virtually all body functions.

The cells of a healthy body are alkaline while the cells of a diseased body are below a pH of 7.0. The more acidic the cell, the sicker we become. If the body cannot alkalize the cells they will become acidic and thus, disease sets in. Our bodies produce acid as a by product of normal metabolism. Since our bodies do not manufacture alkalinity, we must supply the alkalinity from an outside source to keep us from becoming acidic and dying.

A Little Chemistry

Water is one oxygen molecule connected to two hydrogen molecules. If you break the water molecule apart, you have one hydrogen on one side and an oxygen and hydrogen on the other.

The singular hydrogen is acidic with a positive charge. The hydroxyl (OH) is alkaline with a negative charge. Together they are neutral.

A pH of 2 is extremely acidic. A pH of 11 is very alkaline. It's just a number; don't let it confuse you. I do like to refer to pH as Potential for Hydrogen. Dunno why, it's how I learned it. But I have also learned that the more hydrogen in a solution the more acidic that solution, and the more oxygen the more alkaline. 

Alkalinity means oxygen. We need oxygen to survive. We need oxygen to maintain an alkaline environment. Life is oxygen. Oxygen is life. 

In the past we have mentioned that bacteria, yeast, cancer, and viruses (just to name a few) survive without oxygen. They are said to have an anaerobic (without oxygen) existence. They metabolize without oxygen, just like fermentation. Fermentation produces alcohol (as one of its waste products) and many more wastes known as mycotoxins (that further corrupt our environment).

Remember the smell of the banana?

When we become acidic, our immune systems attempt to bring us back into order and balance, or homeostasis. Our immune system is, first, a clean-up crew, and second a juggling artist on a tightrope focused only on balance.

Our immune system's first job is to clean up the dead cells we slough off. Billions are lost daily. In just seven years, our entire body has been replaced with new cells. This is the immune system's first and foremost job.

If we get out of balance, then our juggling artist on a tightrope tries to re-balance the system. This is a secondary job. However, if we are really, really sick and begin to get attacked by outside invaders, then this overworked immune system has to try to fend them off. This is our immune system’s backup job. As Dr Young points out, when this happens, we’re riding on one of those tiny spare tires found in our trunks.

Disease begins when our bodies turn acidic.

Now, it is important to note that acid means lack of oxygen and that bacteria and germs and fungus all survive without oxygen. Because I’m about to tell you something that will knock your sox off.

Remember that clean-up crew we're all born with inside? The clean-up crew that ate the banana from the inside out?

When we turn acidic (lose our oxygen and our negative charge), the clean-up crew goes to work, BECAUSE IT THINKS WE ARE DEAD.

This is where the first symptoms of illness show up, but you have to be looking for them. The Chinese use smell and taste, and the shapes of fingernails, and all sorts of things to discover what’s going on here. Westerners need live blood analysis.

We talked about candida in our last newsletter. Candida is part of the cleanup crew. As this yeast turns into a fungus, it spreads its thin mycelia throughout our bodies attacking other organs. The clean-up crew produces wastes called mycotoxins. One of the wastes is uric acid, another is alcohol, and yet another is aflatoxin, one of the most potent carcinogens known.

Our liver starts producing more cholesterol to help clean up these mycotoxins. Take Lipitor™ and all you’ll do is allow the mycotoxins to create more and more damage to organs and blood vessels.

Now you know why modern medicine has ignored years of research and scientific findings.

Drugs cannot heal a sick terrain.

Only nutrition and detoxication programs can heal our terrain.

Do we need modern medicine? You bet we do! Our bodies are so far out of alignment that all too often we need something to save our lives.

The problem is, after having our life saved, we continue on our way as if we are totally healed when all we’ve been given is a short (very short) reprieve. The body is still acidic. We are still sick. 

Secondary Illness

Remember Rudolf Virchow’s quotation? Once our system is acidic, and once the clean-up crew kicks in, we start to get diseased tissues. Once we have diseased tissues, outside germs can find a favorable environment in which to grow. They produce the secondary illnesses we, in this modern culture, call illness or disease. As amazing as it can seem, germs are attracted to the diseased tissues, they are not the primary cause of it. 

But what about cancer? How does cancer fit into this picture?

First off, Dr Young points to a study from the University of Minnesota Medical School that every cancer patient ever tested has been found to have candida in their blood stream. They also noted, almost as an aside, that candida wasn’t responsive to drug therapy.

I can assure you that long before a person has cancer, that person has a systemic yeast problem. It just hasn’t surfaced. The mycotoxins released by a yeast/fungal infection cause the body to become even more acidic (with even less oxygen).

Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for describing how cancer metabolizes. He said that cells once thriving on oxygen suddenly become anaerobic.

If you were a cell, and you were deprived of oxygen (by an acidic environment) how would you survive? Wouldn’t you try to change your method of metabolism to one that did not require oxygen?

Cancer could very well be our bodies trying to survive the conditions we’ve allowed them to deteriorate to. Perhaps a better way of putting this is: Cancer is the result of your cells trying to survive a condition that you won't. 

Symptoms of Acidosis

Since the first step in the disease process occurs when our alkaline terrain turns acidic, it follows that acidosis is the number one disease in human beings. If so, then why doesn't our medical community test for it? 

Again, why test for something that pharmaceuticals or surgery cannot repair? 

From Dr Cochrain (mostly, but also from many others), a naturopath from St Paul, Minnesota, we learned the symptoms of the three stages of acidosis. 

The symptoms of the first stage of acidosis are so common that most people simply take a pain killer or some over the counter medication to mask the symptoms: headaches, food allergies, bloating, acne, panic attacks, lack of energy, lack of sex drive, cold hands and feet, agitation, hard to sleep, hard to get up, sinus headaches, and an increased susceptibility to colds and flu and whatever's going around.

The symptoms in phase two might bring you to a doctor, but still, some just self-medicate: cold sores, hives, depression, migraines, asthma, urinary tract infections, fungal infections, yeast infections, swelling, colitis, tingling, excessive falling hair, osteoarthritis, and atherosclerosis.

If you have toenail fungus, then take note that this fungal infection goes much further than just under your toenails. It is all over your body. And no drug (diflucan) will end it, though it might clear up symptoms for a while.

The final stages of acidosis are chronic, debilitating diseases: Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, leukemia, all cancers, Hodgkin's disease, schizophrenia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and tuberculosis just to name a few. 

Heart Disease and Alkalinity 

From a lecture by Scientist/Nutritionist Dr Fred Kaufman we get the following quotation:

"Why is it just the arteries around the heart that get clogged and not the other veins and capillaries? Because wherever there is a muscle producing energy there’s always a by-product of lactic acid or waste....as you know any kind of acid can burn.....this lactic acid burns holes in the arteries and the liver uses cholesterol to patch those holes. Because heart is a muscle that continually produces lactic Acid. The more acidic your blood is the more clogged your arteries are."

This is why our omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids are so important to heart health. They cut the production of lactic acid. As Johanna Budwig discovered, these oils are highly charged (negatively) and if bio-available, they keep our bodies negatively charged and alkaline. (See the article Johanna Budwig Revisited, at the bottom, for information on our favorite product, Omegasentials.)

Summary   

There you have it. Our medical and scientific communities have sold out to the profiteers and have erased one huge chunk of science (scientific fact) from our history. You stay sick; they stay rich. And sadly, they’re in this too. They too are sick for having overlooked this bit of information. Is there anyone who doesn't now understand why we, Americans, pay more for medical care than any other people on the planet yet our health care system is ranked 24th? 

I highly recommend Dr Young’s book. It is an eye opener. He also has a wonderful web site (http://www.beaphmiracle.com/index.html). 

There are things that I found in Dr Young’s book that I disagree with. Mainly a few of his nutritional beliefs. They seemed a little off the mark, at least from our nutritional research. I was also reading another book at the same time called Alkalize or Die by Dr Theodore A Baroody. The nutritional advice in this other book seems to be more realistic. But then again, even some of the things he says in Alkalize or Die. concerning heart disease don't jive with our findings on heart disease. This is to be expected. What we know today in the sciences is still very little compared to what we will know ten, twenty, thirty years from now. Learning is an endless, but joyful journey.

So now, let us focus on returning our bodies to their alkaline and negatively charged state.

We have touched upon the subject of alkalinity in our books and at our web site, but have not really focused on it because there has not been an easy way to maintain our alkalinity. We can talk diet and lifestyle changes all day long, but who among those with cancer have sustained (longer than a week) the diet plan we have posted here (at this web site) for cancer?

Diet regimens are hard to stick to, especially when we crave our favorite foods. Sure, some of you have avoided sugar, but now and then you give in. We’re human.

Humans are weak.

This is why we have not focused on keeping our terrain alkaline: people just don’t want to change their diets. However, after some recent findings, I think that we can all get our health back with just a few minor changes in our habits and some of the helpful products, supplements, and devices we’ve uncovered. And once you’ve reached perfect health, by all means, come Saturday night, go out and have that Double Gut Whomper with Cheese and a bucket of Partially Hydrogenated Fries! Wash it down with a Sam Adams or one of those new alcoholic pops. Have some fun. Because it’s not what you do on Saturday night that counts, but what you do the rest of the week.

One of the nicest guys you’d ever want to meet, with one of the greatest attitudes you’ll ever want to attain hangs out in AOL’s Cancer Support Chat Room. His name is Rick. He’s supposed to be dead, at least according to his doctors (or was it his wife?).

He’s using Cesium Chloride.

Never self-prescribe. Always get a physician or health care professional to monitor and guide you. For one thing, you need to take a lot of extra minerals with Cesium Chloride: potassium, calcium in particular.

Cesium Chloride is a dangerous substance if mishandled. There are a few studies using Cesium Chloride for cancer that showed significant success, but again, there are other options that are not as dangerous and that have fewer side effects.

We do know one thing about cancer: Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline, oxygenated environment.

(The following list is posted at our site in a separate article called Products To Help You Alkalize. It already has additional products listed, and it will be kept up to date as we research further on the subject.)

Sodium Chlorite is a safe, natural substance that is a precursor to chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide releases oxygen into the blood stream and, according to Dr Young (his web and his book) it might also help to clean up foreign materials (toxins) in your blood stream.

With chlorine dioxide flowing through your body, the oxygen is released slowly which can slow and stop the growth (and spores) of candida.

You can bet that we’re going to focus on foods here that will help. Wheat grass and your superfoods are chock full of minerals and enzymes. The enzymes are both antimycotoxic (clean of the mycotoxins released by the yeast/fungal infections) and antioxidant, while the minerals play an important role in keeping cellular communication channels open.

Garlic is one of the best medicines in the world. It has natural germanium (see below) and is antifungal and antibacterial (just to name a few things). Naturopaths recommend up to seven cloves a day (depending on your stomach and your ability to withstand garlic). And as always, we must warn you that if you intend to cook using garlic, please crush it up and let it sit for ten minutes before adding it to your recipe. It has to sit so that the enzymes can create the wonderful healing phytochemicals you’ll be needing.

We list germanium in our Alternative Cancer Therapies because it enhances the capabilities of oxygen in our bodies. Dr Young points out that it has to be an organic germanium, possibly because of the damage the inorganic kind has been responsible for. Again, I think this is something to be used only under a physician's care. But by all means, germanium is a healing element that will add to your negative electrical charge and increase interferon production (to fight off the parasites and bugs that are trying to clean up your system).

Or N-acetyl Cystein; something I take daily. I love to barbecue. But barbecues have a tendency to fill your body with all sorts of carcinogens (acrolein is one). NAC is a powerful anticarcinogen, antimycotoxin and detoxifier. It pulls heavy metals from your body and supports production of glutathione, the body’s most powerful antioxidant. It is anti-aging also, and the one mycotoxin, acetaldehyde, that is responsible for so much collateral damage in our bodies, is totally wiped out by daily use of NAC. It is truly amazing stuff.

There are more, and we will be adding to this list. All alkalizing supplements and foods will be placed into this article on our web and available through the Table of Contents.

We have to stop here and talk about those things that we are doing to acidify our bodies in the first place. We can take supplements, detoxication programs, etc, but if we keep acidifying our bodies, we’re facing a losing battle.

So let us jump into a complete HOLISTIC program for maintaining our proper terrain.

First off, we must monitor our pH. In his book, Alkalize or Die, Dr Baroody tells us that there is no good way to measure our pH because it fluctuates all day long. However, according to Dr Cochrain, a St Paul, MN Naturopath and Chiropractor, recent studies have shown that if we take our pH first thing in the morning (before our breakfast or yoga or anything) and take the pH of both our urine and saliva, that this will give a the best indication of our pH.

Our pH can be taken by using pH strips. Dip them in your urine and saliva and compare the color against the chart. 

Next, we must ask ourselves, what are the major causes of acidity in our society? The following are not listed in the most acidic to the least acidic, but rather, the most acidic to lesser because of their usage in our society. Listed at the top is our greatest addiction in America. Following that, you will see Dr Baroody’s take on the most acidic "things" within our personal sphere.

1. Caffeine (coffee). I know you’re all going to hate to know this. The drug of choice in this world today is coffee, but it is ruining our health. However, if you purchase organically raised, shade grown coffee, you will not acidify your body to the degree that your standard coffees will. If you have a coffee addiction, take a look at your general health and see if you need to get a grip on it.

2. Soda Pop. When I was a kid, pop was a treat. Today it is a staple. Most people have three or four cans of pop each day. First off, the sugar in a can of pop will cause your body to become acidic. Sugar is an acidifier. And if you’re drinking sugar free pop, you’re not much better off as the aspartame in it turns into formaldehyde and acid in your body.

3. Anything containing carbon dioxide, phosphoric acid, aspartame™. If you drink charged water, you are drinking a waste product. Our bodies give off CO2 as a waste product. Why would anyone want to drink a waste product (if they thought about it long enough)? Aspartame® turns into formaldehyde and acid in your body. When you are acidic, your metabolism gets clogged down. The drink might say "Diet" but you won’t lose weight with this stuff in your body.

4. Meat, poultry, and fish. All of these "cooked" proteins cause our bodies to become acidic. Eating them raw would be a better option but ONLY if the methods we raised them and processed them were healthier.

5. Sugar. Especially white sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Anything with sugar added will increase it’s acidifying properties immensely. Additionally, we learned from Dr Cochrain that just one teaspoon of sugar will lower your resistance by 50% for up to 24 hours. (Mountain Dew has 8 tablespoons of sugar in one can.)

So, there you have it. Can you drink coffee and maintain a healthy terrain, yes, but not if you drink to excess. Can you eat meat and stay alkaline, yes, if you don’t overdo it and balance your meat with alkalizing fruits and vegetables.

Dr Baroody created a little chart that I wish you all had. We are going to ask the good doctor for permission to reprint the entire chart here at our web site, but until then, look at the graph below for a little hint.

Toxins Equal Acid

The first thing we must all do is DETOX our bodies. We start with the colon, then the liver, and then the other organs and our blood and skin. To learn how to detox, you can read Cleaning House – The Correct Way to Detox.

It took us over 4 years to write that original article, mainly because there are so many methods out there that purport to detox your body. There are little pills that guarantee to detox your colon, which don’t really do a thing but take your money and give you the runs.

In natural medicine we focus on two things: What goes in and what comes out.

Doesn’t what goes in always come out? Nope.

There are those who say that all disease begins in the colon. This is a pretty strong statement, but if you consider that the second step in the disease process is when the yeast (that lives in your colon) takes off, well, I think we’re on to something. Yeast’s purpose is to break up and soften the stool. If given a chance to flourish, well, we are going to cover the digestive tract in our next issue of this newsletter.

Yeast begins to flourish in your digestive tract the moment your digestive process is slowed. In other words, if you don’t have a bowel movement 24 hours after eating (on a regular basis), your digestive tract is slow. You have indigestion.

In the next newsletter you will learn that Heart Burn and Indigestion, if let go long enough, is deadly. You might think it’s harmless, but indigestion is one of the first steps downhill to a good number of degenerative diseases.

Detoxing beings in the colon. Everything that has been gathered up by the liver and by your cholesterol is dumped into the colon and expelled through your bowel movements. If it stays too long in the colon, it is reabsorbed.

We have recently discovered a product that will be found in my home every day for the rest of my life. Bathing in it helps pull toxins from our bodies. Drinking it helps neutralize our acidity. We will introduce this product to you later on in the article entitled: Miracle II.

Here is an experiment. Measure the pH of your saliva when you are feeling fine. Then, if you get angry (have a fight with your boss or spouse or for you men, you lose the remote) take your pH then too. And compare!

I did this the other day. I measured my pH at 6.8. That’s a pretty good place to be, between 6.8 and 7.0. However, a few minutes later, my neighbor called with some sort of horse emergency and darned if I could find my keys! The moment I uttered my first fiery word, I saw the pH strips. I grabbed one and measured my saliva. It was off the chart. I had battery acid in my mouth (nearly).

The pH of our saliva gives us our emotional state. The more alkaline the better our state; and the more acidic, the more emotionally troubled we are. This is a plain and simple fact. If you take care of your body, but ignore your emotions you will not maintain your terrain. Hence, we called this regimen an Holistic Approach. We are focusing now on caring for our entire person, the Holy Trinity, as it were, consisting of the Body, Mind, and Spirit.

Did you know that attending a church service will raise your pH? Praying produces negative electrical charges within our bodies.

Let us take a look at the water molecule broken apart:

H⁺ OH^-

The hydrogen ion on the left has a positive charge; the hydroxyl ion on the right has a negative charge. The left is acidic; the right is alkaline and has oxygen. In nature, opposites attract and these two form a water molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This molecule is balanced, with no charge and is neither alkaline nor acidic, but is neutral. To maintain proper pH we have to be in balance like the water molecule.

Alkalinity and a negative electrical charge go together. This is where our magnetic therapies come in, our Yoga and Qigong and Reike and acupuncture also. This is where a trip to the mountains or the oceans or the Grand Canyon come in. Love and happiness and families unfettered by conflict build electrical charges in our bodies.

Oxygenated water (ozone), alkaline water, negatively charged water and beds giving off negative ions; these are new products being developed for the sole purpose of charging and alkalizing our bodies. They don’t cure any particular disease, they just make our terrains well again. And, as you will see in the article Miracle II, when you care for the terrain, you just get healthier, no matter what the problem.

I highly recommend the book Alkalize or Die, but it is presently out of print and hard to find, though I found a bunch of copies by searching the web. The author lists foods and their alkalizing (acidifying) potentials. Most fruits and vegetables (especially the dark green ones) are alkalizing. Exceptions are plums, blueberries, and cranberries. It is good to note that even something acidifying can still contain healthful nutrients. Meat contains CoQ10, which is needed for energy at the cellular level. Without it, your cells die. Blueberries contain phytochemicals that fight heart disease and cancer. Tomatoes are just a tiny bit alkalizing, but can fight all sorts of cancers and protect the prostate, that is, if they are not cooked all day long in aluminum pots.

Dr Revici, who developed a very unique cancer regimen, referred to foods as either anabolic (constructive) or catabolic (destructive); this was Revici’s way of categorizing foods that cause our bodies to turn alkaline or acidic. One thing he noted, along with a few other physicians (like Dr Albert Schweitzer), is that sugar and salt are catabolic. However, Revici was referring to white sugar and ordinary table salt (Celtic Sea Salt® Brand is anabolic because of all the minerals [colloids] it contains). See Dr Revici below under the heading, The Revici Method.

Most sugars are acidifying. Honey is not. Sucanat™ is just a bit alkalizing. All products with sugar added are acidifying. Processed foods are definitely acidifying.

Here is something I just learned and really have to pass on to you. Take any pickle from your local supermarket. It is terribly acidifying. Now, take a pickle that you made at home, using Celtic Sea Salt® Brand, organic non-pasteurized apple cider vinegar, fresh organic cucumbers (and onions and garlic and peppers) and fresh organic spices, and you have the exact opposite of an acidifier. You have an alkalizer. Again, this is just one more reason to eat organic whole foods.

And always keep in mind that just because something is alkaline or acidic IN ITSELF doesn’t mean that it will pass that property to your terrain. The author of Alkalize or Die did a lot of research for this book to show that you don’t know what something will do to your body till it is tested. So, pick up a copy of that book. Remember? Lemons are very acidic, but in your body they are a potent alkalizer.

Oh, and asparagus. Don’t forget the asparagus. Dr Baroody points out that any food that has been frozen, canned, etc. will lose a half a point in his alkalizing scale. Basically, the more processed a food is, the less alkalizing it is. His chart goes from 0 to 8, 8 being alkalizing to the fullest, and 0 being acidifying (to the fullest). But asparagus is one vegetable that is always alkalyzing no matter what form it is in (though, yes, when canned it does drop that property slightly).

In fact, there is an asparagus cancer cure, in which all you eat is asparagus (a mono diet is a diet of one thing).

And don’t forget melons. All your melons are alkalizing.

Lemon Squash

And finally, let us jump back to the late 18 hundreds and Antoine Bechamp. He discovered that drinking Lemon Squash all day long was one of the healthiest things anyone could do. What is Lemon Squash? It is water with a little lemon in it. In her book, The Fat Flush Plan, Ann Gittleman has you drink one half lemon in hot water daily during the first phase of her diet plan. After that, you drink water with lemon all day long. This keeps the kidneys working and helps to alkalize the body. It was good for you over a hundred years ago, and it’s still good for you.

Julius Caesar and George Washington gave it to their troops before battle. Hippocrates gave it to all his patients. In the Pharaohs tombs, they sealed it in large vases to take this into the next world. It helps to oxygenate the cells, improve circulation, balance your pH, normalize thyroid function and metabolism, rid the body of lactic acid and calcium deposits, increase circulation, absorption, and assimilation of vitamins and minerals. A simple mixture of Vinegar & Honey. But the vinegar must be raw, non-pasteurized, apple cider vinegar. All other vinegars are catabolic (acid forming).

Some people like to mix them full strength in the morning and drink it down: a shot of vinegar and a shot of honey together. However, we got this ancient formula and will present it here:

Mix 1 cup of the apple cider vinegar with 1/2 cup of honey (can use less or more honey, depending on your taste. You will take three tablespoons daily.

One way to drink this is by mixing 3 tablespoons with 2 to 36 oz (the more fluid will not lessen the potency as long as you drink it all in one day) of water, juice, or tea and sip throughout the day.

Oxygen is Life

Have you ever heard of the Yogis who went into a trance and were buried for 30 days or more, and when they were dug up, they were in perfect health?

There are stories of Yogis who died, and their bodies did not start to rot for a month.

Their secret was oxygen. Yogis practice breathing exercises that charge their cells with oxygen. Practitioners of various modalities of meditations, yoga, and qigong live longer than people who do not practice these "internal" arts. This is because part of the practice is deep breathing and oxygen is alkalizing.

Oxygen is life.

First we must talk about the way we breathe, here in our society.

Next time you get a chance, watch a baby breathing. The baby never stops. Breathing is one continual movement. Watch a dog breathe. Same thing. One continual movement.

In our society, we stop breathing. In the middle of a crossword puzzle, hanging a frame, repairing a toaster, or untying a knot, most of us suddenly stop breathing to focus on our work.

We learned this young, the moment we got into trouble and heard our name yelled out at us. We stopped breathing.

Now, back to that baby. If the baby is lying supine, watch the baby’s tummy. With every breath, the tummy goes up and down.

Right now, close your eyes and observe how you breathe. Is your breath caught up in your chest or does it go deep down into your abdomen?

Adults have forgotten how to do these "baby breaths." Most of us breathe into our upper lungs and raise our shoulders. Only a portion of our lungs exist up there. The diaphragm is below our lungs where most of the air sacs exist.

Deep breathing means (besides learning to breathe all over again) thrusting the diaphragm downward pushing out our tummies (no one likes to appear in public with their tummy extended) first and then filling our chests afterwards. This is hard to practice at first, but believe me, you’ll get used to it.

Deep Breathing Exercise #1

You can do this in any position - lying, sitting or standing.

1. Quiet the room of distractions like turning off the television or closing the door.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Take a deep breath in through your nose. Pretend you are sniffing a flower. When you inhale, your abdomen or stomach should rise and then your chest. Hold for a few seconds.
4. Exhale in reverse pattern through your mouth. Let your body relax and go limp. Do this over a few seconds.
5. As you inhale, you can say to yourself, "I am" and with exhaling saying "relaxed."
6. Repeat this as long as you need (a few to 10 minutes).

Notes: If you feel like you are short of breath, take a few regular breaths and when you feel better, continue the deep breathing.

When tense or anxious, your breathing becomes irregular and shallow. Deep breathing has long been known to have relaxing properties. Oxygen tends to revitalize, energize and relax.

Deep Breathing Exercise #2

1. Lie on the ground or sit in a position where your spine is straight.
2. Tense all the muscles in your body completely as you inhale. Concentrate on the tension and hold tight while slowly counting to ten.
3. Gradually let the muscles go as you exhale and feel the contrast. Try to let go and relax totally. Repeat two to three times. Exhale completely.

Notes: To check whether you are breathing into your lower abdomen, place one hand on your chest and the other on the abdomen over navel.

Inhale and feel which hand moves the most. If your breathing is efficient, the lower hand should move the most.

Once you’ve learned to breathe into your tummy, inhale very, very slowly, allowing the breath to enter effortlessly through your nose. At the same time, push out your abdomen as though you were blowing up a balloon in your belly. Move your chest as little as possible.

After your abdomen is stretched, expand your chest with air. This fills up the middle part of your lungs. Hold the breath for about five seconds and then slowly begin to exhale. As you do so, let your abdomen fall and relax. Repeat this for twenty breaths. Focus your attention on the movement of your abdomen as you inhale and exhale.

As touted above with the Vinegar & Honey mixture and the effect this solution has on the thyroid and metabolism, when we alkalize our bodies (add oxygen) our metabolism rises. If you don’t have a thyroid problem, just alkalizing your body will help you to lose a few pounds.

Now, I’m not about to leave you here hanging. Over the next few months, we’re going to focus on foods, products, supplements and methods of alkalizing our bodies. We want to review a variety of waters (many of you know that one of my greatest interests involves water). And if you have anything to add, please send it along!

How I Alkalize
by Gloria Alvino

Editor's Note: We've talked about Dr Flannagan's microclusters at this site previously and the two products he created for Royal Body Care called Microhydrin and Crystal Energy. Royal Body Care still sells products with those names, but they are not the same products Dr Flannagan created. Flannagan left Royal Body Care (and there's a big lawsuit going on right now) and is creating his same products under the names Active H- and Super Hydrate respectively.

Because you love the pleasure of your aquarium, you not only feed the fish, but also are careful to monitor the pH and to change the water.

You go on vacation and your roommate promises to take care of your fish. On your return from vacation, you find all your beautiful neon and angel fish lying dead on the bottom of the cloudy water.  Your roommate forgot to change the water!

What happened?  The pH of the water became acidic and the fish died.  When the fish die, we don't just put new fish into that old polluted water.  When the fish die, we change the water before buying new fish.

What happens if the pH of our internal terrain becomes acidic?  Can our cells remain healthy and normal or do they similarly die off?  An acidic cell slows in activity, diminishes, and dies.   An acidic body is a sick body.  We live in an acidic world! The majority of people now eat, drink, and breathe acidic! 

Remember that cancer cells love an acidic media and produce an even more acidic media as they rapidly increase their reproduction.  As these acid-loving cancer cells proliferate, it becomes more difficult for the good cells to reproduce normally. 

Remember that pH is a measure on a scale of 1 to 15 (or 14.4) of the power of Hydrogen.  A pH of 7 is neutral, under 7 is acidic, and over seven is alkaline or basic.

The body is constantly working to keep in biological balance this acid/base physiology in the body fluids and tissues.  The measurement of the pH of these fluids and tissues must remain within a very narrow band in order for the body to enjoy optimal health.

The normal pH of our blood varies between 7.3 to 7.35 for venous, 7.35 to 7.4 capillary, and 7.4 to 7.45 arterial.  Saliva measures 6.0 to 7.0, and urine measures 4.5 to 8.0.  The saliva and urine fluctuate more with daily diet.  To insure that the blood pH remains fairly constant the body has a number of complex buffering systems.  

The highly processed, dead foods we eat, the polluted air we breathe, and the negativity and fear promulgated by the media all add higher acidity to the cells of our bodies.  Not just physical, but even emotional stress makes our bodies more acidic.

Our approach to optimal health for a higher quality of life must remain multi-faceted.  In addition to eating more organic fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, exercising, praying/meditating, and focusing on positive thoughts, words, and deeds, we can add optimal supplements to our diets.

The core of my health maintenance, disease prevention, and healing program is Active H-, Super Hydrate, and Organic Greens.

Active H- (silica hydride) a negatively charged hydrogen ion:

• helps to keep the internal terrain of our bodies at an optimal mildly alkaline pH.

• serves as the most powerful antioxidant to neutralize free radicals (or oxidants) that steal electrons even from the double helix of the DNA in the nucleus of the cell.

• raises the resonance of the DNA in the nucleus of the cell.

• is the essential factor in the electrochemical process that produces ADP, the energy molecule.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element making up 90% of all the atoms in the universe.  Henri Coanda and Patrick Flanagan discovered that silica crystals dissolved in the Hunza glacial waters were able to hold negatively charged hydrogen ions (H-).  These compounds are technically known as silica hydrides.

Regular hydrogen has one positively charged proton in its nucleus and one negatively charged electron orbiting around the nucleus.  The two charges neutralize each other.  Active H- hydrogen contains one positively charged proton in its nucleus with two electrons orbiting the nucleus resulting in a negatively charged hydrogen ion.

Supplementing the diet with Active H- capsules or powder helps to keep the internal terrain mildly alkaline while adding high resonance (zeta potential), neutralizing free radicals, increasing intracellular hydration, and adding energy to the cells of the body.

Organically grown, freshly expressed and instantly consumed wheatgrass juice similarly provides negatively charged hydrogen ions and helps to keep the internal terrain mildly alkaline.  Throughout her life, Ann Wigmore, the pioneer of the value of raw foods and of wheatgrass juice, taught and healed people.  Her disciples including Brian Clement of the Hippocrates Institute, and David Sandoval, the formulator of our Organic Greens, carry on today.

Organic, fresh raw fruits and vegetables grown and consumed locally are the basis of a healthy, alkaline producing diet. The core of an excellent supplementation program for optimal health maintenance, disease prevention, and healing is Active H-, Super Hydrate, and Organic Greens.

All three work synergistically.  The Active H- does all that we discussed and more.  Most people take 4 capsules daily of the Active H- with a minimum of 2 daily for small, healthy adults, and up to 9 daily for people who are very acidic.  Active H- is also taken by children and pets.

The Super Hydrate will re-energize your drinking water and increase intra and inter-cellular hydration.  Add 1 drop of Super Hydrate to every ounce of pure water you drink throughout the day. Add 1 teaspoonful to a gallon, or 32 to 40 drops to a quart of water.  Take your body weight in lbs and divide by 2 to get the number of ounces you need to drink daily when at rest!

The Organic Greens are a propriety blend of 46 plant extracts and organic green grasses that support a healthy pH balance in the body while providing antioxidant benefits.  Unlike many other greens, Organic Greens bears the US Dept. Agriculture's seal of organic certification given by Quality Assurance International.  Most people take 1 scoop of powder 2 times daily in a glass of water with Super Hydrate drops.  Take 1 scoop 3-4 times daily as needed to help alkalinize while nourishing the body.

Remember, that we each have the power of choice.  We can choose our attitude, color our perspective, and create our reality.  The human body is a veritable miracle.  It performs thousands of processes optimally daily without our intervention.  Let us thank our bodies daily for what it does so well, while offering it loving support when needed to heal itself by restoring lost balance and harmony.  Let us heal … body, mind, and spirit.

Miracle II

It is our pleasure, here at the International Wellness Directory, to test and use products sent to us by people who believe in their products. This is the only thing we ask: If you want us to review your product, send us something. You had better believe in your product enough to send us something gratis. After that, we oftentimes order still more so that we can test the product thoroughly (and send it to people who really could use some help). Now, how much testing did we do on the Miracle II products? We spent some $800. Why? Because right away we saw miracles happening.

Your author has had chicken skin on his upper arms since the sixties. I’ve been told by so many naturopaths that I need vitamin E or Essential Fatty Acids, or I need to detox. Over the past 25 years, I’ve tried practically everything. After just three baths in the Miracle II moisturizing soap, I could see the chicken skin going away. A neighbor touched my arm helping me up on my horse and said, "My, your skin is so soft!"

The first day a bottle of Miracle II soap arrived, my neighbor brought me a puppy that was dying. It was listless and refused to eat or drink. The poor pup was just five weeks old. It whined and grunted. My neighbor had to get to work, so she left the pup with me. I set it on the ground and it walked kinda funny. It looked like the pup had constipation. I mixed up a bit of water 50/50 with the soap, and using an eye dropper, I gave the pup a quick soap enema. He squealed. When I set the pup down again, it waddled for a few feet, squatted, and out came five days worth of poop. The pup looked up at me almost smiling. Within a few minutes it’s appetite was back. It ate and ate and took a drink and fell asleep.

My neighbor returned, and not only took her pup back, she bought a bottle of the soap from me. Suddenly, I was a distributor.

Ok, so what have we personally tested? We mixed one ounce of the soap with 32 ounces of water and worked on the carpets. This stuff got up pet stains better than the fifty dollar bottle of enzymes from the Pet Store. As a carpet shampoo, it works better than the expensive stuff that came with my carpet shampoo. One bottle of Miracle II soap costs $22.00 (plus shipping) One bottle of soap makes 4 gallons of carpet shampoo. Four gallons of carpet shampoo would cost me (using the stuff the manufacturer recommends) over $200.

One bottle of soap makes 144 gallons of window washer. When people tell me that this soap is expensive, I wonder, just how expensive the soap is that they buy.

We’ve heard some good stories about the soap with moisturizer too. A few people love it as a shampoo. One told us that it put a curl back into her hair. Let’s face it, your scalp needs good oils. And everyone so far has loved the skin moisturizer. It has nothing harmful in it, just natural oils your skin loves. The gel is also getting rave reviews. People with psoriasis put it over their rough spots after bathing. One friend with a surgical scar, after just two weeks is seeing great results with her scars. They are getting smaller and softer.

You can read more about the products here: Miracle II.

Here at the International Wellness Directory we have always had a conflict of interest policy. We don’t sell a thing because how could you trust us that the information we present is true to the best of our knowledge and not just a sales pitch? However, we have decided to take on this product (and become a distributor) simply because the philosophy surrounding these products is our philosophy already and they do for you what we’ve been telling people to do for years.

1. The products are non toxic. You could drink the soap (diluted, because it can burn the esophagus) till you’re blowing bubbles out of every orifice. We have told you time and time again: toss the toxins out of your kitchen and bathroom. This is the only soap you will ever need.

2. The products detoxicate your body. Bathe in them, drink them, spray them on your body. Rub the gel all over yourself. You will detoxicate your body. See below for instructions (and a warning) on how to detox.

3. The products help you to alkalize your body. If you make just a few minor life changes (like stop drinking 10 cups of coffee each day, or that six pack of pop), you can raise your alkalinity and get back the health you deserve.

4. We have seen the miracles behind the name, Miracle II.

We learned about Miracle II from people listed in our directory who’ve been doing bodywork, yoga, etc, for years and years. They are our old friends. They sent us products simply because they liked our work and wanted to thank us. It hasn’t been long since they had became distributors, but they too have seen miracles and they are collecting a large number of testimonials from people using the products. Now as you and I are both aware, testimonials are the weakest form of proof available when testing a product. (See Studies Show) One person in a million can have something miraculous happen and that’s who we hear from, but when it comes to all others, nothing. Ok? We’re both on the same frequency here?

However, there are never going to be double blind studies done on Miracle II, unless you want to pay $200 a bottle some day. I have a friend who gets a $3,000.00 injection once a month. This is what happens when you play the game of the big pharmaceutical companies and start extensive testing.

What we do know is this: Naturopaths are using them with their patients and are helping to allow their patients bodies to heal Fibromyalgia, skin cancers, lupus, and multiple sclerosis just to name a few.

Here are a few stories (we’ve gathered locally since getting our first bottle) and a few reports from people (and me) who are reviewing the products for this article:

The first testimonial every concerning this product was from a woman in Oklahoma who called Clayton (the inventor of the product) asking, "Hey, what’s in this stuff?" He read off the list of ingredients (including an anointing by God) and added, "Why do you ask?" The woman replied, "Because my skin cancer went away."

Two cases of macular degeneration stopped degenerating by just spraying the eyeballs daily with the neutralizer. I spray a little in my eyes each morning and during my tennis matches.

Three people who suffer from bipolar disorder have watched their symptoms go away. They are off their medications. There is a physician and researcher who believes that all mental disorders are caused by toxins in our bodies that cause us to turn acidic. His article The Toxic Mind is worth reading (but get yourself a dictionary). This is one area we are watching closely, as many of our readers suffer from depression.

Two people suffering massive depression, after just two short weeks on the product are having the best summer of their lives. One says this is the first summer that she hasn’t thought of suicide.

One person, visiting a family member in a care home, put two ounces in that person’s IV bag. Now don’t do this at home; it is probably illegal. But the person she visited was in a coma and was not expected to ever come out of that coma. The care home was just keeping him comfortable. The next day, to the surprise of everyone he was up as if nothing had happened.

Three cases of psoriasis have begun disappearing. Only one month on the product and they say they can see it slipping away. Their patches are getting smaller. Some have disappeared. These people have all become distributors.

Fibromyalgia patients are getting better. They bathe daily (sometimes three times daily) and drink up to 3 ounces a day of the neutralizer. The results are spectacular.

Two people have reported that dabbing their skin tags with the soap helps them to fall off in less than two weeks (if you do this twice daily).

Our proofreader reports that shampooing with the moisturizing soap has brought the curl back into her hair. She also reports:

• soaking in soap/neutralizer makes bites, wounds, pimples, etc. heal faster.
• gel makes bites of any kind not itch.
• drinking neutralizer keeps me from being constipated.
• love the feeling after soaking in it!
• it removes pitch when you wash with the soap (from your car too!)
• it cleans paint brushes great!

Personally, I've seen styes (in the eye) go away after a few squirts of the neutralizer. I watched one person end her pink eye with just a couple of squirts. I have also noticed my skin getting softer and softer. Friends who have bathed with the soap and neutralizer have also noticed smoother skin and have really noticed how much drier their skin is if they miss their baths. One reported that her eczema went away for a week, she stopped her bath, and then it came back. She's now bathing three times a week using the soap and neutralizer. 

The most amazing thing I’ve personally seen thus far is this. I bathe three times a week (soak, actually) and drink up to an ounce of the neutralizer daily. Besides having a great (and very uncomfortable) detoxication with rashes and skin eruptions to boot, I witnessed something quite remarkable just about two weeks ago.

Now some of you remember from our last newsletter that I am losing weight (like gangbusters). Well, with the addition of this soap I’m losing even more, and feeling just wonderful. One evening I felt so wonderful, I thought I was twelve years old again. I went up to my horse and jumped on him without a saddle. Now my horse had had less than two hours riding on him. He isn’t used to riding bareback or just having someone jump on him, so he did what most young horses would do: he tossed me on my butt.

I hit the ground hard, no legs or arms to break my fall (well, my right arm hit the ground pretty hard too).

Since I didn’t want to freeze up and lose my summer of tennis, I put a little gel on the spot and stayed awake that night moving about, bending, just not letting my back freeze up. The next day, a friend (who had witnessed the fall) wanted to see the bruise (at the base of my back, just at the underwear line). I showed her, and she said, "Hey, there’s no bruise!"

I did not bruise. My arm that hit the ground did not have a bruise either. It took a week to finally get a bruise, but it was small, and went away in just a few short days. This was a miracle! (Especially knowing that just a few weeks earlier I slipped in the shower hit the faucet with my bum and had a black and blue mark about as big as a Frisbee).

The best thing about this stuff is it’s ability to detox the body. Detoxication programs are nasty business. First I want you all to read Cleaning House and do the colon and liver cleanse. We all need to clean our colons and our livers. For the other organs, and the biggest organ of them all (our skin) we’re going to bathe and drink the stuff. Skin is our third lung, our third kidney.

Depending on how toxic you are is how much you will drink and how often you will bathe. Your author was already on a detox. I had cleaned my colon six months previous and had done the liver cleanse after that. Additionally, on the Fat Flush Plan, I was still detoxing the liver and doing a yeast/candida cleanse.

Here is the minimum plan which I followed: bathe three times a week with one ounce of the soap (I use the moisturizing soap) mixed with two ounces of the neutralizer. I drink one ounce of the neutralizer daily, putting it in all my drinks from my water to my smoothies. And by bathe, we mean soak for 35 minutes minimum. Doesn’t do any good if you’re in and out and on your way.

If you are very very very sick, then you should bathe three times a day and drink four ounces of the neutralizer daily.

If you are somewhere in between, then you’ll have to create your own plan somewhere in between the guidelines given above.

One word of warning. When you detox expect things to get worse before they get better. You could get diarrhea or headaches. It is not uncommon to get a rash or skin blemishes, pimples, or boils. Something painful could get more painful. Just keep on detoxing and it will soon go away. This is to be expected. There have been some very extremely painful outbreaks (both physical and mental) during a detox. Just don’t stop detoxing. (You’re author got himself a rash, zits all over in places I’ve never seen zits including one big on in my ear that I will have to tell you about in the next newsletter because it helped us make another great discovery.)

Purchase pH test strips. The first thing you do in the morning, before you stretch, or do yoga, or have your first cup of coffee, take your pH. Take the pH of your first urine. Dip the strip and compare the color on the chart on the side of the pH strip container. Then dip one in your saliva and test that. Keep a chart.

Take a piece of paper and write out your complaints. What hurts? A knee? An elbow? Kidneys? Write out all your complaints.

And remember, as Andrew Weil points out in his books and as we’ve tried to point out in the past: natural remedies take time. The one selling point of conventional medicine is their effectiveness: you take a pill and the pain is gone! Natural remedies, for the most part, take time. You must do your program for ninety days. It has taken you all your life to get the way you are, do not expect to fix it overnight. Sure, many people have seen miracles occur using these products. But you must do this for 90 full days. Turning our bodies alkaline is not an easy task. You might have to change your diet a bit too. But the soap and neutralizer are the best tools we have ever seen here in our research for helping keep our bodies alkaline.

Miracle II
How it came about…

Clayton Tedeton’s life was changed on December 17^th, 1969. It was changed by a sixteen year old girl who just happened to run a stop sign and landed Clayton in the hospital, flat on his back, for eight months.

His life was changed once again after that, while still lying in bed watching a televangelist. The man on the TV screen pointed a finger directly at Clayton and said, "There’s a man out there who has been in a wreck. God’s going to heal him if he believes."

Clayton knew that many people were watching that TV show that day, but he felt that the preacher was talking directly to him. He said to himself, "If there is a God as real as he’s talking about, if you will let me get well so I can go on and raise my family, I will do anything you want me to do."

And he meant it.
