The Liver Cleanse

One of the first things that I found on my quest for alternative health knowledge was the liver cleanse or liver flush. As always, to the detriment of all other schoolwork I spent hours reading about it and looking at testimonials from both first timers and veterans. Apparently this method has been around for a long, long time.

The main goal of the flush is to get the stones that reside in your liver out of your body. In the flush, you use apple juice to soften the stones, use epsom salts to relax the bile ducts, and then you drink an olive oil concoction (classic coke or grapefruit juice and olive oil) in order to get the liver to dump all it's bile and take the stones with it.

It seemed a very promising if not disgusting process before I did it. It still is both great and disgusting. You really pee out your butt to get them out. From intestinal mucous to internal parasites to these gallbladder and liver stones, my thoughts are to get the stuff out of me. To me it is grosser knowing that the stuff is inside of me than the process of getting it out. I believe there are a few key health remedies that really pack a punch and work for almost everyone. Colon cleansing and the liver cleanse being the best.

As of now I have done 5 liver flushes, some more successful than others. This past time I got 3 dime size stones among about 150. They were jade green this time but the color may vary depending on the person. The color may also vary based on how many flushes you have done. The stones in your liver and gallbladder block bile flow and obstruct other processes in the liver so it can't work efficiently. You can get hundreds of stones per flush! The stones are a mix of calcium, cholesterol, dead parasites, and a mix of toxins. This flush makes your liver spit these things out like hotcakes on Sunday.

The liver is the heavy hitter of toxin management. It has a trick to neutralize almost any natural toxin and many man-made ones. The problem is that our other methods of detoxing aren't doing their thing while at the same time the world of chemicals has exploded in the past century and we are exposed to a lot of them everyday. Most of us don't exercise enough to move both lymph and bowels around, which are two important elimination channels. We don't sweat enough or breath deeply either. Those two also can be achieved by exercise. The problem is we don't have any way to clean the liver with exercise, so the flush does the trick. I don't get enough exercise, so when I do a liver cleanse the results are immediate and amazing. The liver also does a host of other jobs in addition to detoxification.

Some personal results:

• Softer hair and skin
• Sharper focus
• Better digestion
• Sinuses are cleared
• Senses are enhanced
• My mood is more cheery
• More energy
  

This happens every time for me. I haven't done enough flushes yet to be rid of stones but can't wait until I do. Hulda Clark, who brought this recipe back into relative 'popularity' suggests that a heavy metal cleanse, bowel and parasite cleanse should be done first. While I think this would make things more successful, it is definitely not necessary.

When your liver works better wonderful things can happen to your health. So without further ado, I will direct you to some further information on the how-to's and specifics.

Read about it for awhile and ask a doctor about it if you have concerns of course. Honestly,
it's one of the best things I do for myself. And the best part: ITS CHEAP. Good luck if you try it.

Water Transformation - Part 2

After writing part 1 of water transformation I did further research and actually bought a product for testing. This was after undeniable evidence was brought to my attention regarding the hydration and oxygen levels of subjects in a clinical trial. These tests cost 40,000 dollars, and more money has been spent since trying to further validate what the inventors call the Quantum Age Stirwand. They have succeeded from both a scientific standpoint as well as in my personal experience.

Listening to David Schneider, one of the owners of the Stirwand technology, I gained new insights into what is important about water in your body. Using information from Nobel Prize winning work on cells, the owners discovered that water molecules have to travel single-file through narrow pathways into the cell, called aquaporins. If the water is somehow clustered or stuck together it will have a very poor chance of getting through these channels. Somehow David and the creator of the Stirwands, Exavier Phoenix, produced a mix of minerals that interacts with the water on a quantum level to get the water molecules to be less attached to one another. Quantum physics deals with the way atoms, molecules, and other small particles interact while physics as most know it to be is concerned with the larger objects like planets, stars, and galaxies (to put it very unscientifically).

It all sounds a little crazy and the wands themselves seem to border on the esoteric, but there is something really amazing at work with these unassuming Stirwands. In test subjects over a 30 day period, hydration increased by an average of 28.5% and blood oxygen levels were raised an average of 10.33% using purified water. This is a clinical trial we would all want to be a part of. More oxygenation and hydration are essential for our health. Many mainstream doctors and physicians are blown away by the results. If you want to hear what David Scheider has to say about the Stirwands, you can listen here

My experience in just a few days is pretty wild. I really couldn't afford it, but decided to get an 'Illuminator' Stirwand because of all the research that had gone into them. I first tried it on some peppermint tea. Taking a before and after taste, the water seemed different somehow and the flavor of the peppermint was enhanced. Not to be duped by my own expectations, I tried it again on some wine. Stirring the wand in the wine for just 20 seconds or so I noticed that I could taste the tannins in the wine a lot less, I mean barely noticeable. It turned a year old wine into something much older. I finally tried it on distilled water and it seemed thicker and smoother. A rush of energy also came over me, must be that oxygen. I even tried it on whiskey and it took the bite out the cheap stuff, well most of it (it is whiskey). It's just so fascinating because I don't really believe it works but then I prove it to myself again and again. After a few days I feel I have more energy and my mind is working a bit better.

Stirwands are guaranteed for 5 years, are made of surgical grade plastic, and one of the owners states that he has no reason not to believe that these won't last a lifetime. If thats not cheap I don't know what is. It will help any type of water, not just purified or distilled. It won't kill bacteria though or get rid of any chemicals in the water. If you know me ask for a demonstration, if not you should try one. Many of the distributors have money back guarantees of at least 45 days. So there you go, thats my #1 choice for water transformation. I will post some no-cost ideas in yet another post.

Water Transformation - Part 1

Roaming around the internet trying to find information on water quality is a little confusing. Should you just filter it by reverse-osmosis or distill it? maybe bottled water? And what about these products that spin the water and 'charge' it with energy? I will try and give you some background for all this and give my take on what to do with your water.

Water is such a miraculous substance. It comprises so much of this earth and our bodies it is undoubtedly worthy of study. Water used to be a lot cleaner than it used to be and mountain streams or natural springs were the main choice for fresh water. Then aquifers were tapped for consumption and irrigation which was very good. One problem was that we started irrigating our bodily waste. Like many human activities we flushed or drained our excrement out of sight and out of mind. The Asian people on the other hand used it for fertilizer, which has kept the same fields productive for 4000 years. When the fecal matter was causing epidemics around the world the modern waste treatment plant was devised. I found out this filtering process is unnecessary for most of our waste. Of course hazardous chemicals and particulates that find their way into the water should be filtered but many organic wastes can be composted and grey-water systems can be implemented, saving an immense amount of potable water. In another post I will write about composting this waste into useful and disease free fertilizer.

So what most of us have in our water is fluoride, chlorine, prescription drug residue, heavy metals, and other particulates that accumulate through the cities pipes. We definitely don't need fluoride and chlorine. Ozone and UV radiation treatment would more than take care of any bacteria or virus in the system without the need of chlorine. Fluoride is an industrial waste that is disposed of by marketing it to the municipalities and dentists. The first widespread use of fluoride was by the Nazi's and Communist's in the USSR (especially in their concentration camps). Everyone knows that they had the best intentions for everyone. Read this for more information about the risks of fluoride. Chlorine is also a chemical that has no place in the water supply. Chlorine Dangers

The people reading this I'm sure filter their water someway, but what's the best? The main thing I have found that the factors that matter are how pure the water is, how alkaline it is, and if the water is charged somehow. Purity comes first.

Distillation is the best method for this, the second best is reverse-osmosis, and a reliable spring water is the third. For me, distillation is cheap, easily repeatable and very adaptable. A Reverse-Osmosis filter system has to be replaced and they usually cost more in the long run. All I have to do is occasionally clean out the metal bucket of my distiller every few weeks. Combined with even the simplest of practices we can turn any clean water into something amazing.

Mercury's hidden sources

While most of us have heard about not eating fish or breaking thermometers because of mercury toxicity, not many have heard of the dangers hidden from us by the medical establishment and media. There are three other dangerous sources that you may have voluntarily exposed yourself to. The three sources are:

1. "Silver" Amalgam fillings
2. Vaccines
3. Compact fluorescent light bulbs or CFL's
   

If you have ever seen or read Alice in Wonderland, you will remember the Mad Hatter. In Britain and elsewhere in the 1800's Industrial period fur hats were quite fashionable. What the hat maker had to do was use a mercury compound to make the cheaper furs attach to the hat surface.[1] These mercury vapors are most damaging to the brain, nervous system and liver. While these Mad Hatter's most likely were exposed to quite a bit more mercury than the average person today, the fact is it doesn't take much for people sensitive to mercury to have symptoms. The profession most exposed to mercury these days are dentists, and I'll tell you why.

So called "Silver" amalgam fillings have mercury in them. The mercury content in these fillings is up to 50%.[2] What the ADA won't tell you is that this mercury becomes a vapor when in contact with hot foods or beverages. Friction like brushing, chewing, or drilling will release even more mercury. See this for video of leakage [3] This is the largest source of mercury that is poisoning our population. Dentists have the most to lose from choosing to put these fillings in health wise. Money wise they profit. Personally, I have seen a difference in my personality before and after I had 7 fillings put in over the years. Symptoms include:

• stuttering
• memory loss
• depression
• anxiety
• chronic fatigue
• constant low body temperature

These symptoms were simply not there before all of this. Interesting to think about though, huh. A few links will be at the bottom. Don't worry because there is plenty of resources on the web and dentist's who do know about this. Do not try to detox mercury with fillings in! Get them out first by a biological/holistic dentist.

Vaccines come in at number two in the countdown of dangers because mercury is in quite a few of them. Lawsuits have forced mercury out of some vaccines. The pharmaceutical companies say there isn't that much in each vaccination but you have to think about it proportionally. A baby is small, and it's nervous system as well as everything else is growing. With so many vaccines loaded with formaldehyde, aluminum, and mercury, it becomes a burden rather than a blessing. Go here to find out more. Again, more links will be at the bottom of the post.

Finally, the least publicized source of mercury is from CFL lightbulbs. Compact fluorescents save money, but do they save the environment? Definitely not. These bulbs have mercury in them! Did you know that? This is how the EPA recommends clean up. What happens when this mercury is put in the land fill? If you can use them, not break them, and take them to a proper disposal center that is totally fine by me. But don't just throw it away, please. The quality of light is also not good for your eyes or mood. Save money by getting energy-efficient appliances and living in buildings like monolithic domes. Install skylights. Thats were you can really save.

Sorry to scare you and leave you with nothing to remedy this. You can detoxify mercury. Some detox methods include MSM supplementation, chelation, bentonite clay, sauna's, and the Master Cleanse. Working with many approaches at once is probably a good idea but you can't rush heavy metal detox. Consult a doctor that specializes in this please. If you decide you want to get your fillings out, there are dentists for that as well.

Honestly, I just opened up the box, there is soooo much more information about this topic. Remember that the FDA, AMA, and ADA are not what you think they are. Their leaders aim to protect the medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies, not you. Seriously look into that statement. This is not to say there aren't honest and sincere individuals in these organizations, it's just they don't make the policies and/or have serious academic blinders on.

Mercury affects people in very different ways and because of this it has been hard to make a case to the general public. Some people have a very high tolerance for it. After all, our bodies ability to cope with stuff is amazing and everyone has different strong points in that regard. Some people are not even affected by it for many years. However, the body is not very good at excreting mercury and over time an accumulation may be enough to harm you.

note: I really must work on my references and for that I sincerely apologize, I will work diligently to improve this in the future. Many of the links I provide have massive lists of medical as well as anecdotal references for your perusal.

Let us start with Monolithic Domes

For a growing number of people, parishes, and industries, a strange new shape has come into their lives. Sometimes it looks like a boob or two but most of the time it just looks awesome. Here is a good example. It's commonly called a Monolithic Dome(tm) but that's the trademarked name. It's really super cool name is "insulated thin-shell concrete structure."
What is really sweet about them Dan? Well...

• They are tornado proof
• They are fire proof
• They are hurricane proof
  
• They are pest and rot free
• They require no roof to re-shingle
• They sides are easy to clean
  
• They often save 50% or more on electricity each year
  
• They have high energy star ratings.
  
• They can often save on home insurance.
  
• They will last hundreds of years with proper care.
• They use far less material than conventional buildings.

Who could say no to that right? Well a lot of people apparently. Not many respond to the change of structure well. When they are proposed, officials aren't quite sure about them, but its quite another story when they are built. The guy that built the one pictured above lives in Australia Tornado country. He was going to build a few of them for rental units to make some money and protect people from tornadoes. He was totally shot down but he did end up building his own house that you see up above. Once everyone sees them they are usually like, "that kicks butt" or at least "looks better than I thought."

How can you save a bundle by living in one? Its really simple. The whole dome is one continuous shell and acts as a thermal battery, soaking up the sun during the day and releasing the heat absorbed during the day at night. This regulates the temperature year round. Not to mention that no wind can penetrate a properly constructed dome.

The Airform or outermost covering is made in Texas and is made of the stuff used to make river rafts. This is inflated and insulation, rebar, concrete are sprayed on from the inside. Thats right, you don't have to worry about the outside weather. It just has to be hot enough for the concrete to keep mixing. All this sits on top a concrete base. There are other processes explained in detail at www.monolithic.com

It's totally customizable and scalable. You can have a 30 ft. dome or a dome for an entire school. Domes can be buried as well. For hot climates or storage you don't even need the insulation!

Look for Monolithic blogs here and there. My favorite is Peggy Atwood's site, she has a great slideshow accompanied by her own music. There are some really great architects that specialize in this on the web as well.

This is a totally awesome technology that needs to be utilized for our future. These would have survived Katrina, and survived the wild fires in Southern California. If these were square there would be no problem accepting them. The hardest part is when you want one the banks are all weird about it.

Stop being conventional everybody! Isn't the future supposed to be all domes?
