An Alkaline State of Mind is All About Attitude!!!
If your body temperature is around 35°C, your immune functions will decline. Do you know about Bio mat function thermotherapy at home to treat cancer instead of in a costly clinic. Importance of detoxing the liver 🙂
If heat gain exceeds the ability of the body to lost heat, then body temperature increases above normal levels, a condition called hyperthermia. Hyperthermia can result from exposure to hot environments, exercise, fever, and anesthesia.
Exposure to a hot environment normally results in the activation of heat loss mechanisms, and body temperature is maintained at normal levels. This is an excellent example of a negative-feedback mechanism. However, prolonged exposure to a hot environment can result in heat exhaustion. The normal negative-feedback mechanisms for controlling body temperature are operating, but they are unable to maintain a normal body temperature. Heavy sweating results in dehydration, decreased blood volume, decreased blood pressure, and increased heart rate.
Individuals suffering from heat exhaustion have a wet, cool skin because of the heavy sweating. They usually feel weak, dizzy, and nauseated. Treatment includes reducing heat gain by moving to a cooler environment, reducing heat production by muscles by ceasing activity, and restoring blood volume by drinking fluids.
Heat stroke is a breakdown of the normal negative-feedback mechanisms of temperature regulation. If the temperature of the hypothalamus becomes too high, it no longer functions appropriately. Sweating stops, and the skin becomes dry and flushed.
The person becomes confused, irritable, or even comatose. In addition, to the treatment for heat exhaustion, heat loss from the skin should be increased. This can be accomplished by increasing evaporation from the skin by applying wet cloths or by increasing conductive heat loss by immersing the person in a cool bath.
Exercise increases body temperature because of the heat produced as a by-product of muscle activity. Normally vasodilation and increased sweating prevent body temperature increases that are harmful. In a hot, humid environment the evaporation of sweat is decreased, and exercise levels have to be reduced to prevent overheating.
Fever is the development of a higher-than-normal body temperature following the invasion of the body by microorganisms or foreign substances. Lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages release chemicals called pyrogens (pi’ro-jenz) that raise the temperature set point of the hypothalamus. Consequently body temperature and metabolic rate increase.
Fever is believed to be beneficial because it speeds up the chemical reactions of the immune system and inhibits the growth of some microorganisms. Although beneficial, body temperatures greater than 41 degrees C (106 degree F) can be harmful. Aspirin lowers body temperature by affecting the hypothalamus, resulting in dilation of skin blood vessels and sweating.
Malignant hyperthermia is an inherited muscle disorder. Drugs used to induce general anesthesia for surgery cause sustained, uncoordinated muscle contractions in some individuals. Consequently body temperature increases.
Therapeutic hyperthermia is an induced local or general body increase in temperature. It is a treatment sometimes used on tumors and infections.
Hypothermia
If heat loss exceeds the ability of the body to produce the heat, body temperature decreases below normal levels. Hypothermia is a decrease in body temperature to 35 degrees C (95 Degree F) or below.
Hypothermia usually results from prolonged exposure to cold environments.
At first, normal negative-feedback mechanisms maintain body temperature. Heat loss is decreased by constricting blood vessels in the skin, and heat production is increased by shivering.
If body temperature decreases despite these mechanisms, hypothermia develops. The individual’s thinking becomes sluggish, and movements are uncoordinated. heart, respiratory, and metabolic rates decline, and death results unless body temperature is restored to normal. Rewarming should occur at a rate of a few degrees per hour.
Frostbite is damage to the skin and deeper tissues resulting from prolonged exposure to the cold. Damage results from cold injury to cells, injury from ice crystal formation, and reduced blood flow to affected tissues. The fingers, toes, ears, nose, and cheeks are most commonly affected. Damage from frostbite can range from redness and discomfort to loss of the affected part. The best treatment is immersion in a warm water bath. Rubbing the affected area and local dry heat should be avoided.
Therapeutic hypothermia is sometimes used to slow metabolic rate during surgical procedures such as heart surgery. Because metabolic rate is decreased, tissues do not require as much oxygen as normal and are less likely to be damaged.
Harvard educated physician Sara Gottfried M.D. believes for overall health, an infrared sauna can’t be beat. Not only does it make the skin radiant, it’s also a great way to distress, which is important for well being. Unlike a traditional steam heated sauna, which warms the surface of the skin with sweltering 220* F temperatures. An infrared sauna uses pulses of light to heat the body more deeply — and at much cooler temperatures (typically around 150*.)The heat from an infrared sauna penetrates the skin, causing cellular water molecules to vibrate and raise the core body temperatures explains, Gottfried. This forces the body to work to keep itself cool: an effort that can torch as many as 600 calories … in just 30 minutes. Revving metabolism is just one way infrared saunas slim. The targeted heat also stimulates the circulation and triggers sweating, which helps the body purge toxins and excess water weight through your pores.This detoxifying effect frees up the liver to fire up fat burn — and keeps the calorie furnace burning, even after the sweat session has ended. Spending just 15 minutes in a sauna daily helped over weight adults lose 11% of their body weight in just 10 weeks. Thereby, relaxing in the heated chamber also recharges cells at the genetic level, while switching on genes that makes the body act as though it’s years younger.Therefore, how fast or slow you age is the product of how well the body is able to sweep up the damage of daily living, says Gottfried whom has an infrared sauna in her home. “Sitting in a sauna for just 20 minutes activates the genes that prevent and reverse that damage by boosting stress resilience, anti oxidant production and DNA repair.” As a result, the skin looks brighter and tighter, under eye circles and wrinkles diminish and energy levels soar.Also in a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology spending just 15minutes daily in a sauna for 14 days improved heart health by 40 percent by dilating the blood vessels to provide gentle workout for the cardiovascular system. ALSO With increased blood flow and intense warmth has also been shown to soothe and relax muscles to ease tension and keep joints limber. If you can’t afford a Sunlighten model. recent research at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom suggests that taking a very hot daily bath may offer benefits similar to the spa practice
Near infrared lamp saunas are the BEST detoxification method I have ever encountered. These saunas have many health benefits, including cancer treatment and prevention, detoxification, killing infections, etc. If you have a lack of energy, brain fog or are suffering from a chronic disease or condition, I guarantee you that toxin accumulation is contributing to the problem.
All types of near infrared saunas can be found in the Live to 110 Store.
I use a near infrared sauna to detox, but my main motivation for sweating it out daily in my home near infrared sauna is to kill cancer cells before they have a chance to turn into a tumor. My father died of cancer. Watching him die was a grim reality check into what is happening to most families around the world. One in three women get cancer, while one in two men are afflicted with the disease. These statics are a call to action for you to begin thinking about cancer and disease prevention – NOW. Today.
Many don’t realize that everyone harbors mutated cells – cancer cells.
Dr. William Pawluk has stated that we have 100 million cancer cells in our bodies at any given time! Whether it turns into a tumor or not is determined by your immune system’s ability to kill the cancerous cell before it multiplies and possibly becomes carcinogenic. In a healthy individual with a robust immune system, this process happens often and naturally.
It is only when your body is overwhelmed by heavy metals, hundreds of chemicals, chronic infections, fungus and parasites, exacerbated by nutritional deficiencies, which everyone has to varying degrees, that you reach a point where your immune system simply doesn’t have the energy or resources to kill these mutated cells any longer. When a mutated cell is allowed to grow unabated because the immune system is dealing with so many issues, you may very well be the one diagnosed with cancer when the tumor becomes visible on medical tests a few years down the road. This can be avoided.
Near infrared sauna therapy resolves all burdens to the immune system, directly and indirectly preventing and healing cancer as a result. Many viruses, bacteria, parasites and tumor cells have poor tolerance to heat compared to normal healthy cells and are easily killed with near infrared saunas. But let’s be honest. You don’t get something for nothing. You must be dedicated to your health to prevent cancer and other health issues. It takes 1-3 years of daily sauna use to rid your body of the bulk of heavy metals, chemicals and chronic infections built up over your lifetime. And after this period of intense sauna therapy, one must continue to use a sauna twice a week to rid the body of new environmental onslaughts.
Enzyme Therapy for Cancer & Digestive Diseases
As we enter into our 40’s: it’s important to realize our liver slows down in 90% of all of us. And it’s this congested liver that causes many of the chronic illness we see in middle aged Americans. And as hormones go haywire the liver becomes more overwhelmed …it’s a vicious cycle to say the least.
Reseed Your GUT: maintaining a wide variety of beneficial probiotics in the gut helps crowd out bad-acting bugs which increases the livers access to choline. Probiotics also help reduce levels of low grade inflammation that aggravate the liver. In addition to getting a variety of beneficial bugs from fermented food, consider supplementing.
Try combining: Renew Life Ultimate Flora Everyday ($22 for 30 servings) Life Extension Florassist Mood ($25 for 30 servings) which contains the combination of strains present in the study.
Recently, a research team from the University of Michigan collected stool samples from 30 healthy people, 30 people with precancerous intestinal polyps, and 30 ppeople with advanced colon or rectal cancer. The team discovered that each of the three groups had a different gut bacteria composition and that studying gut micro biomes was more effective in detecting precancerous polyps than examining faecal occult blood samples (another type of stool sample test).
Study author Patrick Schloss, an associate professor in the department of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan, says examining gut micro biomes may be a very effective way of identifying the people most at-risk for developing colon cancer.
“If our results are confirmed in larger groups of people, adding gut micro biome analysis to other faecal tests may provide an improved, non-invasive way to screen for colorectal cancer,” Schloss said.
However, Schloss feels the new tactic is unlikely to replace existing methods for detecting cancer in this part of the body.
“Our data show that gut micro biome analysis has the potential to be a new tool to non-invasively screen for colorectal cancer,” Schloss noted. “We don’t think that this would ever replace other colorectal cancer screening approaches, rather we see it as complementary.”
The University of Michigan research team’s report has now been published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.
Minerals Nutrition for the body – The List and Types Of Essential Minerals Your Body Needs in Food!Minerals are inorganic substances which exist naturally in the earth, many of which are critical to the growth and production of bones, teeth, hair, blood, nerves and skin. These minerals are known as “essential” nutrients, which are: calcium, chromium, copper, fluorine, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium and zinc.
http://www.helpwithcooking.com
http://www.goodnet.org
Macro Minerals: How about Intravenous Vitamin c for cancer 🙂
Calcium is the most important mineral to add to our diets, since our bodies cannot product it. Calcium, along with magnesium, vitamin D, phosphorus and fluoride strengthens the bone.
Iron is critical for the delivery of oxygen to the cells, is necessary for the production of energy, necessary for the synthesis of collagen and function of the immune system. Iron is normally deficient only among children and pre-menopausal women, but also excess iron is more common in men and post-menopausal women.
Magnesium is crucial for maintenance of the acid-alkaline balance in the body, healthy functioning of nerves and muscles, and the activation of enzymes to metabolize blood sugars, proteins and carbohydrates.
Phosphorus is stored in the bones at normally a 1:2 ratio to calcium, and is also a component of soft tissue and cells, where it contributes to the body’s chemical processes, for example to provide the energy necessary for metabolism.
Zinc is required to support the immune system, protein synthesis, and reproductive health, particularly in men. Deficiencies are common, and can adversely affect the ability to heal, physical growth, nerve health, and the skin.
Trace Minerals:
Chromium is essential to several enzyme systems, including that which works with insulin in the processing of glucose (sugar). Insulin is necessary in the metabolism of triglycerides (the primary form of fat in the body). Therefore, chromium assists with maintaining triglycerides due to its control of insulin.
Chromium deficiency has been shown to be linked to blood sugar imbalance and improper metabolism.
Copper is important for the health of the cardiovascular, immune and nervous systems, liver, skin joint and blood. It is most concentrated in the liver and brain, and a crucial component in the absorption and utilization of iron and zinc.
Iodine is essential to the function and development of the thyroid gland. Deficiencies result in enlargement of the thyroid, and during pregnancy and infancy can cause brain development and growth issues in the child. The most common source of iodine is table salt.
The Importance of Iodine!!!! 🙂
Manganese is critical to the metabolism of bones, and is essential for enzyme reactions, and healthy brain, thyroid, and nervous systems. rains.
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant which works in concert with vitamin E to support the operation of antioxidant enzymes, and may reduce the risk of abnormal cell growth, as will many other antioxidants. It supports cardiovascular health and supports the thyroid and nervous system. Thyroid disorders are a growing concern in the US, and obesity and low thyroid are directly related.
Molybdenum is necessary for the proper function of important enzymes. Deficiencies occur most often in those with metabolic conditions, while excess amounts can cause poor copper retention. Sources include whole grains, beans and dairy products.
Fluoride protects tooth enamel from acid forming bacteria, and strengthens bone and tissue. Sources include fluoridated water, also tea, and canned salmon and mackerel (because of the bones processed with the fish).
Non-Essential Trace Minerals:
There are other trace minerals not yet recognized by the health authorities, but which are believed essential for human health such as silicon, arsenic, boron, and vanadium.
Boron has been shown only recently (since the 1980s) to play an important role in the motabolism of other minerals, partcularly calcium and magnesium.
Silicon is involved in the formation of cartilage and skeletal system. It is common in most unrefined produce (grains, vegetables and fruits).
Vanadium has been found to be important for metabolizing fat, and maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis.
Electrolytes:
Electrolytes are essential to maintaining healthy electrochemical activity. Water, along with sodium, potassium and chloride. Sodium and potassium are positively charged, while chloride is negatively charged.
Potassium, along with Sodium, is responsible for the regulation of fluids inside of the cells.

There is a growing body of evidence which shows that omega-3 has a crucial role in cancer prevention and possibly even cure.
a) Inflammation:
As we mentioned above, one important role seems to be that of reducing cellular inflammation – the precursor to cancer. This may be in the gut bacteria profile, since certain bacteria are known to produce highly anti-inflammatory short-chain esters, and/or it may be through a direct effect on your cells.
Nobel prizes have been won in this field starting with Sir John Vane in 1982. Chemical substances have been found in the cell nuclear envelope, which can both affect cellular health, or bring on cellular death. These substances are hormones called eicosanoids.
Like all hormones they are powerful chemicals, but unlike other hormones that are made in specific glands, these are made by every cell in your body. They only ´last´ from 1.5 to 6 or 7 seconds but are very powerful.
Some eicosanoids are good, some are bad
Some eicosanoids are good, some are bad, and some that are good in low volumes, are bad in excess! There are over 120 different eicosanoids in total. One enzyme (called Cox-2) can encourage the production of the bad eicosanoids, rather than good ones. This enzyme is stimulated by substances such as steroids, insulin and cortisol (the stress hormone).
However long-chain omega-3 seems to inhibit the Cox-2 enzyme, cutting the production of bad eicosanoids and allowing the production of a greater proportion of ´good´ local hormones. Other natural compounds that can reduce Cox-2 include aspirin, aloe vera, ginger, garlic and curcumin.
Eicosanoids provide the last link in the chain that delivers messages from your brain to Iocalised cells in your breast or prostate. So be, if your brain feels stressed this will be communicated (via cortisol for example) to the nuclear envelope in your breast cells and so your breast cells will be feel the effects of that stress too.
Also eicosanoids and Cox-2 are known to play a role in the pathways involved in malignancy.
Eicosanoids play a key role in cell signalling, primarily in oxidative pathways. Cox-2 plays a role in cell growth, and human tumour cells have high levels of Cox-2. Cox-2 also plays a key role in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are found mainly in inflammatory and immune cells.
While, prostaglandins and other ´bad´ eicosanoids bring about tissue responses such as wound repair and inflammation, but in excess they are implicated totally in many modern diseases e.g. atherosclerosis, rheumatic diseases, Alzheimer´s and cancers.
Cox-2 levels are high in 85 per cent of colon cancers (Dubois, Vanderbilt), and also in breast cancer. Work is underway on drugs, which block Cox-2. However why take drugs when the fundamental answer lies in increasing your long-term intake of omega-3?
The International Journal of Cancer in March 2002 reported on a study with 250 women with breast cancer and the findings that women who are cancer-free have much higher omega-3 fatty acid levels in their breast tissue! This research seems to be repeated all around the world every few months!
By 2010 it was the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle who followed 35,000 women over a number of years and showed those who supplemented regularly with fish oils had a third less breast cancers. In between those two studies there were similar findings from Perth to Harvard!
Harvard Medical School have shown similar findings with men and prostate cancer.
Possibly the most significant work with colorectal cancer where there is now a large, consistent body of evidence that shows omega-3 and fish oils can reduce inflammation and the size of polyps that are usually the precursor to colorectal or bowel cancer.
In 2010 Leeds University Medical School led a study involving a number of cancer centres, where patients took a concentrate of omega-3 and hereditary high-risk targets for colorectal cancer saw large reductions in their development of polyps.
Several studies show this polyp reduction to be the case even where the patient has already had a colorectal cancer.
b) Blood oxygenation
Dr Joanna Budwig was a physicist, biochemist and cancer expert. She was a leading expert on fat and oil metabolism and showed that consumption of bad fats could lead to fatty deposits in the heart and arteries blocking circulation, damaging heart action, inhibiting cell renewal and disrupting the normal flow of blood and lymph fluids. She also noted the loss of essential lipoproteins and phosphatides in the Western modern diet, and the link to increased levels of cancer.
Dr Budwig also showed that the blood of cancer patients especially those in the later stages of the disease was a greenish, yellow rather than a red, due to the lack of iron-carrying oxygen haemoglobin.
In her own research studies she showed that after treating the patients with flaxseed oil, daily for several months, the oxygen carrying capacity increased due to the increased presence of lipoproteins and phosphatides. Furthermore, in clinical trials she actually showed that tumour size decreased.
You can read more about the Budwig Diet Protocol by clicking here.
Flaxseed and lignin consumption shows up in the urine. And women with the highest levels in their urine have the lowest levels of breast cancer, a finding shown in studies from America to Japan. Secoisolariciresinol (SDG) is the natural lignin found in flaxseed. Research shows SDG has a direct effect on human oestrogen metabolism and also on its receptor sites. Oestrogen fuels the fire of many cancers. Research also shows SDG stops the action of oestrogen in stimulating cancer cells.
SDG also increases the production of Sex hormone binding globulin. This binds oestrogen, reduces the free oestrogen in the body, and reduces the stimulatory effect of oestrogen on cell division. Also In research where animals were given a high fat diet and with cancer cells, flaxseed reduced the levels of cancer found when it was also added to the mix. Animals with a highly potent metastatic cancer line had their tumours reduce in size and metastasis almost stop when given high levels of flaxseed.
Two studies covered in Cancer Watch with animals given a cancer-inducing chemical for 13 weeks, showed less cancers and smaller tumours, if the animals also took SDG one study reported 46 per cent less cancers if pure SDG was used.
Post-menopausal women given flaxseed supplementation for seven weeks showed increased levels of properly metabolised oestrogen in their urine. Another test on women newly diagnosed with breast cancer showed that factors associated with tumour growth fell 33 per cent in the group taking flaxseed.
Revitalize Your Thyroid Fast!!!
Don’t under estimate the power of your thyroid and this tiny butterfly shaped gland in your neck. Which pumps out the hormones that control everything from energy levels to appetite. However, our chances of developing a sluggish thyroid inches up every year after 50. Hypothyroidism has all kinds of harsh effects, including fatigue, weight gain, depression, and even hair loss.
To keep your thyroid functioning properly and at optimal levels:… Your thyroid uses Iodine to convert the hormone T4 to the more potent T3, which controls every cell in your body. Since your body can’t make Iodine you must get it from your diet. Also you have to consider getting enough selenium for keeping your thyroid functioning efficiently.
Selenium is so important, in fact, that in one recent study found that when women with hypothyroidism supplemented with selenium. The level of thyroid harming antibodies in their blood stream took a nose dive. With two brazil nuts a day providing all the selenium you need to shield your thyroid says, Rebecca Scritchfield, R.D.N. author of Body Kindness.
Scritchfield also explains, consider investing in a reusable, self filtering water bottle (such as the Epic Water Titan bottle which cost $39.99 Amazon.com) which siphons off 90% of the fluoride and can be refilled for years. AS fluoride levels build up in your body they inhibit your thyroid from converting T4 to T3 and it’s this imbalance that can lead to troublesome symptoms in your body.
You have been told over and over to eat cruciferous vegetables with brussel sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage being healthy. But eating large qualities (raw or undercooked) can hamper your thyroid hormone function.
“These vegetables contain goitrogens, which can block the body’s absorption of Iodine,” says Scritchfield. Luckily cooking these vegetables break down goitrogens, making these vegetables completely safe to eat.
How to Make a Homemade
Electrolyte Drink
Most people think of that sweaty athlete drinking a colored sports drink when they hear the word electrolyte. On the contrary, there are many ways to get fresh natural electrolyte replenishment from foods such as oranges, coconuts and honey, plus, save a few dollars by preparing your own sports drink that your body will embrace.
…
Water
Water is the main ingredient as it will act as the primary carrier of the electrolytes. It must be as clean as possible to work optimally. If you do not have the luxury of a home bottled water dispenser, simply boil water in a tea kettle. Incidentally, distilled water–the captured vapor from boiling water–is the best. It is very close to pure water, having almost all trace elements such as minerals, pollutants and other contaminants, removed. If you want distilled water, it’s best to purchase it because collecting the vapor is difficult to do at home. Sometimes you can ask your bottled water carrier if they offer distilled water instead of spring. Tap water should be your last resort.
Salt
Electrolytes are basically salts. Salts keep your body’s electrically conductive to maintain cell voltage for receiving or passing along information. Regular table salt works fine as long as it contains sodium chloride, which almost all salts are made of. Some also have potassium iodide, which is also excellent for your cocktail. If you can locate fine grain salt, it dissolves much faster. Using a mortar and pestle on regular salt work just as well.
Citrus
Oranges, grapefruits, tangerine, lemons and limes–try to always have these on hand as they are the best ingredients for electrolyte replenishment. Oranges are a particularly good choice. This is why you may have seen many athletes gorging themselves on juicy slices. Citrus fruits are great, even alone, for electrolytes. However, adding some other ingredients can enhance the effect.
Containers and Recipes
When you make your electrolyte drink, make sure that you’re using a container that you like to travel with. If you like your container it will increase the chances that you will indulge in your drink concoction more often.

The American Institute for Cancer Research suggests avoiding processed meat and limiting red meat to no more than 18 ounces per week. Based upon a 3-ounce serving, these weekly recommendations translate into eating three, four or six servings weekly. ALSO Avoidance other Cancer Causing Food Preservatives Especially If Your Doing CHEMOTHERAPY!!!
The Ionic Foot Detox: Fact or Myth?
A recent fad has been sweeping the country: ionic foot detoxes. You may not recognize the name, but you probably have seen the infomercials about foot patches or foot baths that pull all the toxins out of your body through your feet, leaving you with a patch or bath full of brown liquid (aka the toxins). But is it all just a scam? Or is there actual scientific proof to support these claims?
I decided to try it out for myself with Pacific College Alumna and Oncology Specialist Christine Adamo, LAc, and see for myself what the scoop is all about. Christine is a supporter of “true” ionic detoxes and uses them in her practice, particularly with her cancer patients to help with the side effects of chemotherapy.
learn about becoming a student in one of PCOM’s acupuncture, massage therapy or holistic nursing programs.
First off, I say “true” because Christine warned me upfront about the many false companies out there who claim that the brown water produced in their bath or patch is the result of toxins coming out of the body. “This is NOT true,” Christine said. The water changes color naturally because of the chemical reaction between the electricity and the salt water, not because of toxins. So don’t be fooled by the infomercials; it’s actually the debris that begins to form in the water that are the toxins.
Don’t just take Christine’s word for it; the scientific evidence speaks for itself. “We can do a test and you can see for yourself if you’d like?” asked Christine, before we began the detox.
“Why not!” I said. Afterall, what better way to determine a treatment’s efficacy than with a scientific experiment?
We decided to do a urine pH test before the detox and then another pH test after the detox to compare the results. My first pH test showed to be more on the acidic side of normal. I was ready to see if this detox would really change my pH level in just 30 minutes.
The main point of these foot detoxes is to make the body’s pH more “alkaline,” but what exactly is the importance of being alkaline?
An alkaline body is crucial to a person’s health. Diseases thrive in an acidic environment. So basically, the less acidic your body is and the more alkaline, the less prone you are to contracting a disease, such as osteoporosis or cancer, according to Christine.
The Center for Disease Control reports that up to 85% of all illness are caused by toxins and pollutants in our bodies. The human body functions best when the ions are balanced at 80% negative and 20% positive. So how do we achieve this?
What we put into our body, such as the foods we consume, have either acidic or alkalizing properties. Check out the food charts for yourself here. The more of the higher alkaline foods you can incorporate into your diet the better. An ionic detox, helps to facilitate the alkalization process through the process of ionization, which removes “free radicals” from the body.
How do ionic foot detoxes fit into Chinese medicine?
Traditionally, we think of acupuncture and herbal medicine as being the main components of Chinese medicine. However, These ionic foot detoxes we see today are a more modern invention, but magnetism itself has been used to accompany traditional Chinese methods medicinally in China for over 2,000 years.
Acupuncturists use a variety of modern tools now adays, that weren’t invented yet back in ancient Chinese times. Tools besides the ionic detox machine, such as the electrical stimulation machine work to accompany acupuncture. Both of these tools work with acupuncture to clear heat in the body.
“Every physician has a set of tools in his/her tool bag; sometimes you have to branch out to find more tools,” said Christine.
So, the crucial question: Did it work?
The pH test says: Yes! My post detox pH levels were right in the middle of the spectrum, as they should be, and noticeably more alkaline than before the detox. Christine says that the detox continues to alkalize the body up to 48 hours after the treatment, via urination and sweat, which is an added benefit. One should not eat/drink acidic foods after a treatment, to help better facilitate the detox process.
It’s important to aid in your body’s alkalizing process. “You can’t just come in and ‘get fixed’. You have to take ownership in your health. The work I do with a patient has to be part of a team effort,” Christine said, which is why the food alkalinity chart is so important. Christine suggests bringing it to the grocery store with you to help in purchasing alkalizing foods.
Other scientifically measured effects of this detox, besides alkalization, are lower blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol levels.
Is the ionic detox good for anybody?
Yes! Most people can benefit from an ionic detox. It is especially good for those suffering from GI disorders, skin conditions, fungal or yeast infections, and cancer.
The ionic detox is contraindicated for those who have a pacemaker and open sores or lesions on his/her feet. People with Diabetes Type I should use this therapy with precaution.
The benefit of this form of detox is that it is, “gentle and safe, and not compromising because it bypasses the gastro-intestinal system,” Christine said. The detox also works well when accompanied with acupuncture, to stimulate blood flow, in treating peripheral neuropathy.
The best time to detox for people who are not suffering a specific ailment is during the transitional seasons: Spring and Fall.

Laetrile–Cancer Treatment used Sucessfully by Dr Carl O Helvie 33 years ago when he was given 6 months to live.
Although Laetrile has been a very a successful, non- invasive and non-debilitating treatment for cancer for many years it has mainly been ban from the United States by the powerful drug companies and FDA. It is a simple and inexpensive treatment that is still available in a few areas of the United States and in Mexico.
.
In my case I used Laetrile when my doctor said I would be dead in 6 months.
Consequently, with that prognosis I decided not to subject myself to chemotherapy and surgery that would lead to pain, expense, and debilitation in what the doctors said would be my remaining days. However, the treatment was successful and I am alive and healthy 33 years later.
.
Laetrile is also called vitamin B17 and is found in differing amounts in many foods such as lima beans, bean sprouts, berries, nuts such as cashew and macadamia, some seeds and grains. Apricot kernels are one of the best sources and 33 years ago these were readily available at Health Food Stores but today these have also primarily been eliminated from the United States.
.
The theory behind the use of Vitamin B17, Amygdalin or Laetrile is that it is a nutritional deficiency in Cancer patients and this theory was developed from research by Dr Ernest T. Krebs, Sr. who was a prominent physician and researcher. One discussion of this theory for the interested reader can be found in Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work by Tanya Harter Pierce which was just published.
.
In my case as discussed on the Holistic Health Show last Saturday (and later on my website) I used a variety of physical, mental and spiritual interventions to supplement the Laetrile. Today there are additional interventions supplementing this intervention as discussed by Dr Eslinger. From a discussion with Tanya Harter Pierce who will be on this show in a few weeks it is possible that Laetrile is not as effective by itself as it was 33 years ago because of the depletion of nutrients in the soil and other changes in our environment. Or it may be that these other interventions better facilitate the utilization of the Laetrile. Regardless, laetrile continues to be a successful treatment for many types of cancer-listen to the interview with Dr Eslinger or read the chapter with case histories in Outsmart Your Cancer as two examples.

My interview with Klaus Pertl (partner of Lothar Hirneise who wrote Chemo Cures Cancer and the World is Flat ) in Germany who you referred to me will be broadcast Saturday. I can put a link on your page if you want. ALSO, Lothar visited over 100 cancer centers and based their cancer center on those experiences as well as 4 years with Dr Johanna Budwig. He says most people do not understand how to use the Budwig Diet. Best, Carl O. Helvie
Ivelisse Page is a young and vibrant wife and mother of four. She is also a stage 4 colon cancer survivor. Her journey begins long before her diagnosis. Her father died of colon cancer when he was in his late thirties.
She knew that family history put her at higher risk of developing colon cancer at a young age and was diligent about getting regular colonoscopies, eating organic and exercising. Despite this, she developed colon cancer more than a year before she was due for her next colonoscopy. She was just 37.
A week after diagnosis, Ivelisse had 15 inches of her colon removed along with 28 lymph nodes. The pathology report would later show that the tumor had perforated the colon wall and that the cancer was present in one of the 28 lymph nodes, “a very good sign” according to the doctors.
Obviously the presence of cancer outside the colon wall necessitated further treatment. Jimmy and Ivelisse consulted a variety of doctors, did much reading and research, and bathed the whole process in prayer. They concluded that conventional chemotherapy did not offer the best success rate. In her case chemotherapy would only increase her survival rate by only 10-13%. Instead they chose a complementary and alternative approach. Surprisingly, her oncologist agreed to continue to monitor her despite refusing chemotherapy.
Ivelisse was about a week into her immune therapy when she went in for her 5 week post operation appointment. Her oncologist gave them the shocking news that the cancer had spread to her liver. This put her at stage IV colon cancer. Ivelisse went in for surgery once again to remove the tumor. They removed about 20% of her liver. After surgery, Ivelisse began her prescribed protocol by her complementary and alternative doctor which included daily alternating injections of mistletoe and thymus, cimetidine, homeopathic remedies and additional supplements. Ivelisse beat the 8% survival rate of stage IV colon cancer and is completely cancer free today! She is still following her protocol under the care of her complementary and alternative doctor, and monitored by her oncologist, GI doctor and OBGYN. http://believebig.org/ivelisse
