Prescription & Over-the-counter Medication Natural Alternatives

Water & What Should Be In it

 


Healing naturally with alternatives can sometimes have side effects! Why?

Detoxing is an absolute must when you are overweight, have frequent colds or flu, have a history of prescription or over-the-counter or recreational drugs, frequently consume fatty and/or prepackaged processed foods, drink lots of sodas or consume other sugary drinks or foods with artificial colors or chemicals on a regular basis or when a chronic illness is present.  

There are many ways said to detox the body, some good and some not worth the cost of buying the detoxing protocol.  But from my experience watching others and personal experience I find a detoxing diet to be most effective, least costly and receive faster results with less side effects while bringing the body to an alkalized state, where cancer and fat cannot grow.  

Yes, there are side effects for those who are severely toxic and even to those who are only mildly toxic.  

Symptoms of a detoxing reaction can lethargy; temporary all-over muscle aching; include watery stools; stomach cramping; mucous or other discharge; a coated, pasty tongue; light-headedness upon standing and in general; headaches; and flu-like symptoms in general. A detoxing reaction/healing crisis may take the form of old symptoms that have been previously suppressed by prescription drugs. You may feel sick and think your alternatives are not working... Also detoxing can cause rashes, some all over others limited to the upper part of the body, including the head! However, this detoxing process is absolutely essential to achieve health and should not be suppressed with drugs.

Sadly many people will stop their herbs or detoxing mode when symptoms occur and they never achieve great health! 

Mainstream conventional medical establishment has completely closed its collective mind to detoxing and assumes that any symptoms displayed by the body are caused by a microbe, so antibiotics are usually prescribed even if they think the causative agent is a virus. Medical antibiotics have no effect on viruses, other than weakening the immune system so viruses can replicate more. Antibiotics and other drugs suppress detoxing and the immune system as well. They also will tell you that "there is no evidence that detox diets have any health benefits." Then in the next breathe talks about detoxing for drugs, alcohol, metabolic and diet detoxification. More double speak that world if famous for! 

What I’ve have seen over the years of recommending and following people who are detoxing for healing a particular health condition is that there are many forms of detoxing that will work. Sadly no long term effects are achieved if personal eating habits, bathing habits and medication stoppage, detoxing is wasted and there will be no long term health effects. 

Are You Experiencing Any Of The Following?


Toxic Blood: Toxins are constantly seeping into the bloodstream and tissue via foods, lotions, shampoos, water and air. This eventually causes serious health problems. A dirty, malnourished stomach and intestinal tract is the perfect environment for worms and parasites. Then the rampant incidence of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, thyroid diseases, reproductive system dysfunction and diabetes – to name a few – run rampant. Out of control individuals suffering from allergies speak to the same problem. All of these can be attributed to a sick intestinal track which makes for a dead immune system.

This global problem exists because the ground our foods are grown in have eroded and lost the nutrients once there. Then add pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers stealing nutrients from the body. Add that to all the processed prepackaged, fast and sugary foods consumed hourly, you can only have billions of malnourished ill people... Most are totally unaware they are suffering from a degree of malnutrition. Obesity is rampant as people try to satisfy the body’s cravings and can’t.  Illness sneaks up on you as the body is strong but cannot appear to be healthy long before it is detected. 

Inability for Intestines To Filter and Digest:  

Digestion begins with the stomach and when the digestive enzymes do not exist in the proper balance that prevents foods from getting into the intestinal tract.  This happens when people take things like Tums, Rolaids, Prilosec or other antacids. Those things shut down glands that produce digestive acids and those acids are necessary for proper digestion and mixing before going into the intestinal area! That step is the beginning of digestive failure! When the intestines have mucoid plaque substance – built up without proper stomach acids to break down the foods - a serious interference with the digestive process happens. Even if a thin layer of the mucoid substance is present, one could have sluggish peristaltic (movement) action, which causes constipation and that constipation causes a very sick body as it cannot absorb making it impossible to correctly distribute the nutrients that are eaten or supplemented.  If you have very firm bowel movements and only once a day or less and have a putrid bowel odor you are having an intestinal absorption problem! The stools should have only a slight odor if the body is absorbing as it should and a fairly loose bowel movement should occur within an hour after each meal. 

Inability to absorb nutrients: Food is less able to be absorbed through the forming of intestinal mucoid layers and lacking nutrients in the food not many nutrients to absorb even if it could.  

Detoxing starts in the stomach and intestines! 

Polluted intestines become blocked preventing absorption due to so few nutrients in foods! In centuries past these problems did not exist as they do today. Sadly prescribed drugs are consumed that create severe malnourishment and illnesses... 

There is a 3-Step Speed up Healing/Prevention Program that speed you to better health! 

1. Detox: A good intestinal cleansing program cleanses the mucoid plaques and increases nutrient absorption that improves peristaltic action that grows healthy cells… Also should help heal or balance stomach digestive acid glands.  

For a safe and easy cleansing enema; use a quart of Warm Distilled water with 2 or 3 drops of liquid detergent added, Joy seems to work well, this may require as many as 10 cleansing enemas until not one tiny piece of fecal matter appears when expelled! End them with a coffee enema http://www.antibiotic-alternatives.com/coffee_enema.htm two for the first week, to promote liver and kidney cleansing as well... Then taking Probiotics daily (1 before meals and 2 at bedtime) to keep the natural and necessary flora balance for cleaning the intestinal tract while building the immune system. Yet not the whole solution!

2. Healthy diet:
Eat lots of raw fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts, making sure to chew well and your daily supplements as prescribed or Minerals and Vitamins...   

3. Helping The Body Produce Health Building Nutrients: Get at least 20 minutes a day of direct sunshine to as much of the naked body as possible. This will produce life enhancing vitamin D and cleansing circulatory help. 

4. Lots of purified/filtered water to balance the pH: The organs require clean filtered/purified water daily. Water to help balance pH - mix 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda to a gallon of filtered/purified water - drink a minimum of 6 to 8 eight ounce glasses a day.  pH or alkalized body is absolutely necessary in treating or preventing illness and disease. 

I want quality of life, what about you?
