Detoxification During Fat Loss: Why?!?

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Fat in our body is a storage unit.  Many people know that we store fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins A & D, vitamin E and essential fatty acids in our fat and liver in our body.  So this is a good thing.  Fat also keeps us warm and gives us that glow of good health when in perfect harmony with muscle and a great diet and lifestyle.

As a storage unit however, fat is known to store many toxins.  The body insulates us from these toxins by storing toxins in our nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves), our liver, our bones and our fat mass.

We store toxins such as the following in our fat mass:

  • heavy metals such as aluminium, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, lead…
  • pesticides, herbicides and other food-toxins
  • preservatives, colourings, flavourings
  • stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenalin, noradrenalin…
  • pain hormones
  • drug residue – any drugs commonly taken such as pain killers, the OCP, anti-depressants etc
  • insulin (is your tummy fat getting bigger as you get older)
  • dodgy oestrogens & dodgy testosterones (the ones that cause mood swings, cancers of the reproductive tracts)

So, you can imagine when you start a weight loss programme, particularly a successful programme such as the HCG diet or the Shake It/Keto Programmes the fat loss will start (almost immediately) and these toxins will be released into the bloodstream to be eliminated.

In our clinic, in order to find out how you are coping with these toxins we may recommend:

  • ph testing – oral & urine to find out how well your body is coping with toxins through the whole digestive tract;
  • urinary indicans – lets us know how much dodgy bacteria your body has, therefore liver detoxification would be exceptionally dangerous at that stage;
  • live blood screening – lets us know how ‘leaky’ your gut is, stressed your liver is, whether toxins are running rampant through your bloodstream and more
  • kinesiology balancing to release heavy metals; to re-boot the brain after post-traumatic stress syndrome,
  • infrared saunas – we have 2 private rooms – infrared saunas penetrate 6cm under the skin instantly – this mobilises toxins from the fat tissue, blood stream, bone, spinal cord and releases them to be removed from your body…

So, fat loss WITHOUT detoxification can be very dangerous.  We have seen cases of people getting chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, migraines after weight loss without detoxification.  There are simple things you can talk to us about that will be safe, easy and effective to both lose weight healthily AND detox simultaneously…

HCG Phase 2 (fat loss phase): Apple day!

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

Why did Dr Simeon’s come up with an apple day for Phase 2 of the HCG Diet…

Surely if someone is following the protocol:  RFM HCG Drops (available from New Leaf), eating correctly, then the weight should just fall off, right?  Well – not exactly.  The apple day seems to take any mistakes away – and helps to eliminate a build-up of fluid in the body.   There are reasons for weight stalling:

  1. mistakes in food intake:  re-check your allowable foods – proteins, vegetables, fruits and starches.
  2. drink plenty of water.  Sometimes the body is detoxifying so quickly throughout this process that the body stores fluid to ‘dilute’ the toxins.
  3. drink plenty of herbal teas.  Herbal teas not only add fluid to the body, but are nutritious and beneficial medicinally as well.
  4. weight loss stalling is often due to fluid retention – but it can also be moisturisers, incorrect supplements, marbled fat throughout the proteins (no more than 1 x red meat per day) etc
  5. as fat cells start to ‘empty’ sometimes they will ‘fill with fluid’ again before the fat cells are dissolved and released into the bloodstream

What is an apple day??

  1. if you wake up and are unhappy with a stall in weightloss, you can do an apple day.  Or if you have a VLA bio-impedance analysis check at New Leaf, and your fat mass has gone up, you need an apple day.
  2. it means that you wake up, as normal, and drink water and herbal teas until lunchtime and then have up to 6 apples for the rest of the day.  Eat as little as necessary to quench thirst and hunger, remember to take your drops.
  3. apples help to sop up toxins and fluid, remove fat completely from the diet for a day, remove starches completely from the diet for a day – thereby eliminating some of the major reasons for a stall in weightloss.

Apple Days Work!!!

Digestive Tract Cleansing – Fact or Fiction

What Does it REALLY MEAN to cleanse your digestive tract?

What does a well functioning digestive tract mean?  It means we have no symptoms of constipation or diarrhoea, bloating, burping & belching, acid reflux, heartburn or indigestion or bad breath and have good immunity and well balanced blood sugar.  Is this you?  Even if you have no symptoms (the classic cast-iron stomach for example) we often find issues such as parasites, oxidative stress or leaky gut and allergies.  When we do live blood analysis (hemaview) and urinary indicans testing (amount of gut dysbiosis/bad bacteria being released through the urine) these are the tests that let us know how long it’s going to take to cleanse the digestive tract – and it’s not as easy as it sounds.

I had a client once (with allergies, hayfever, reproductive issues and anxiety) who had a great looking live blood analysis when we first did the test.  There was very little sign of parasites, leaky gut or liver stress.  Knowing the health history, I would have expected the live blood to have looked worse.  What we did was give her a detox pack which cleanses mucoid plaque from the intestinal walls.  I’d have to say it’s better than colonic irrigations due to the fact that it pulls mucoid plaque (hardened oxidised bile) from the stomach, small intestines as well as the colon (large intestine).  Colonic irrigations only work a maximum of 70% of the colon, whereas this is the entire digestive tract.

Once we completed the mucoid plaque cleanse (it’s simple and very effective for the mucoid plaque release for most people – but some people need to do it several times as the hardened oxidised bile can turn into ‘concrete’ in the intestines which takes some time to loosen…  ) we had another look at the live blood analysis and it was totally different – we found huge signs of parasites, leaky gut and liver stress.  So what happened?  Basically this hardened oxidised bile/ mucoid plaque creates a barrier between the intestinal wall and inside the digestive tract and lots of nasties live behind it, it creates a heated, toxic environment which nourishes parasites, fungus and candida.  So, once we released these mucoid plaques, it allowed the release of these stored parasites, fungus, candida.  Then we got to work clearing the next layer for this client!

So, when practitioners either 1. don’t have the technology to show you how good/how bad things are (and therefore are doing purely guesswork) and 2. don’t have the knowledge/products/techniques in order to move through the processes (many clinics do not specialise in detoxification) or 3. believe their training that two week detoxes are all that’s needed and wonder why their clients never have the results they’re after – clients suffer.  Seminars which teach detoxification often simplify things.  Training in naturopathic college simplifies things.  I assume it’s more popular to tell people it’ll take 2-6 weeks for a full, integrated detox, less cost, less time, simpler – but really – it’s doesn’t help clients, the industry or anyone’s health long term.

There is no health problem that exists that can’t benefit from an integrated four-filter cleanse.

Call us today to find out how your digestive tract is doing…  Ask for a urinary indicans test and a live blood analysis.  We can also screen (blood) for candida, coeliac disease testing and helicobacter pylori testing.

Our Foundations of Health Programme was designed for a 9 month integrated detoxification programme.  We have a special offer at present where if ALL of the Foundation of Health Testing Processes are completed, as well as an initial Foundations of Health Consultation – mention this New Leaf Blog and recieve 50%off.

Kidney Failure – how natural therapies can help you!

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

Has the term ‘ kidney failure’ been mentioned by the doctors?  It’s pretty scary since the only answer is transplant and/or dialysis and lifetime medication.  Holy cow, what a prognosis!  Not only that but the amount of time to wait for an available kidney is huge – how much time out of your life will be spent worried about the future.

Have you even considered natural therapies support/cures for kidney issues?  Nephritis, kidney failure, kidney cysts, kidney tumours… is there any other help available?  YES, there is!  In our clinic we have seen huge improvement with kidney function with a combination of:

  1. Frequency Specific Microcurrent for kidney stress – there are specific protocols for inflammation, cysts, toxicity, stress etc
  2. Natural Supplements such as Waiora NCD / Stem Enhance / Uroplex & Renoxyl and more .  One example of a tricky case was a client who had 4 tumours on his kidneys (less than 2 months to live) and over a period of time the tumours kept shrinking to his doctors amazement – unfortunately the doctor did NOT want to know anything about how we were achieving this goal!
  3. supporting the other conditions which cause kidney failure:
  • blood pressure
  • poor digestion, liver stress or poor immune function – if any of these are not serving you well, the kidneys can fail!
  • chemical toxicity (the kidneys are the last ‘filter’ of the body

So there IS help availabe – sometime a natural cure for kidneys, sometimes hugely improving quality of life for the kidneys!

Food Poisoning: Tips to avoid and heal your gut!

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

Have you ever experienced food poisoning and wondered how you got it??

  1. Have you eaten anything with raw eggs?  These may contain Salmonella when uncooked
  2. When you are ‘unfreezing’ meats – let it thaw in the fridge, NOT outside in the air (which may contain bacteria)
  3. Don’t leave perishable foods out of the fridge/oven for more than an hour…only 1 airborne bacteria can cause issues:  2 hours at the absolute outside – 1 bacteria doubles every 20 minutes!
  4. Wash your utensils before you use them
  5. Wash your hands before you serve any food items, don’t poison your family and friends
  6. Wash the plate before you re-use the food plates – your hands may have bacteria, the plates may have bacteria!  The staph bacteria that lives on your hands can transfer from plate to food to friends!
  7. Listeria infections happen days or weeks later and may cause infections in the brain like meningitis.
  8. Use shallow containers (less than 2 inches high) to store/cool food.  This cools food quickly and slows down the bacterial growth.

How to avoid food poisoning?!

  1. have a great immune system using supplements such as AndroNK, Ultra Flora Immune and MetagenB12Folate.
  2. have a great gut – 70% of immunity is in the gut – using supplements such as Ultra Flora Immune & G-Tox.
  3. take digestive enzymes with meals if you have no control over the preparation – supplements such as Metagest, Vegetarian Digestive Enzymes or Digestone.

Long Term?

If you’ve had food poisoning several times, you may have a weakened gut and/or immune system.  We have a fantastic health programme called ‘Foundations of Health’.  This is aimed at getting your gut, liver, immune system and kidneys up and running and working beautifully!

Symptoms you may be experiencing are:

  • bloating, burping, belching
  • constipation or diarrhoea
  • constantly feeling unwell
  • exhaustion
  • muscle aches and pains
  • hormonal issues
  • poor sleep
  • aching kidneys
  • always thirsty
  • dark rings or puffiness under the eyes

Talk to us today about getting started and take care of your health!!

Testimonial for LEAP: ADD, ADHD, Aspergers, Autism, Learning Problems; Pain Relief; Hormonal Balancing for a whole family!! Everything available here in Wynnum, Brisbane!!

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Over the last four years, 12 members of my family, friends, and students have been treated at the New Leaf Natural Therapies Centre run by Madonna Guy and Associates.

Initially I approached Madonna Guy for therapy for my two adopted daughters  both of whom  have severe learning problems due to health problems. A friend, Jen, told me about the clinic because her grandson had had wonderful results with the Leap Programme. Although he seemed just as intelligent as his brother who was a straight A student, he only achieved C’s at school and was totally uninterested in reading.

After just four treatments of the Leap Programme, he began to achieve A marks and began to really enjoy reading. Jen had had severe bowel problems for over 20 years, but Madonna, with her Naturopathic skills and the Leap Programme gave her pain free results.

We gave the whole Leap Programme to our daughter Chrissy who was adopted at 2 years from Brazil, starving and with 4 severe sicknesses that were killing her. She struggled with severe health and learning problems. In grade 2 Chrissy was diagnosed with A.D.H.D with an IQ of 86. Later in grade 7 the QLD Government guidance officer diagnosed her with an IQ of 70-75 (borderline intellectually impaired) with a Reading Age of 8 years.

After 10 Leap treatments her teachers were amazed at the reduction of hyperactivity, improvement in focus and confidence in learning tasks.

At home I was delighted with the marked improvement in household tasks, a new ability to relate to me without tantrums and an ability to show affection towards me for the first time in 10 years.

After the Leap Programme her Reading Age leapt to 12 years. She had previously been diagnosed 8 years 6 months before. In grade 5 in the statewide testing, her Maths came in the bottom 10% to 20%. After Leap in grade 7 in similar testing she performed above average in all areas.

As a mother the change in family stress levels was enormous as a new Chrissy emerged with new confidence and interest in life and learning. Recently our local treating psychologist tested her IQ at 99 with a projected IQ of 118 as her brain function improves. She is now in grade 10.

My elder daughter, Jo, adopted from Korea as a tiny baby, has suffered  from a very severe hormonal imbalance caused by xeno-hormones from toxins received in a factory where her mother worked when Jo was in the womb. Her progesterone levels were 3 at 13 instead of 20 – 100which is normal. This caused excessive and at times uncontrollable bleeding and  necessity of artificial hormones from our gynecologist to try to control the condition which had awful side effects including such severe depression that she was given an antidepressant so she could tolerate the drugs stopping the bleeding. After we changed to natural progesterone cream, her condition slowly improved, but her extremely heavy periods still came every 20 – 23 days. Madonna gave her a product to detox her body, called Zeolite (Natural Cellular Defense – the only one Madonna will use).

Within 2mths she had a normal 28 day cycle. Part of her condition was total exhaustion. At 13 she was referred to a heart specialist. He found that her heart was so strained because of such low levels of oxygen to all the cells in her body caused by the progesterone deficiency, that she had developed a heart murmur.

Recently whilst in hospital, the oxygen levels in her red blood cells were tested at 99%, very high indeed. The heart murmur was no longer present. Her body healed itself when the toxins were removed.

So impressed was I, by these results, I asked Madonna if she could give me a few treatments of the Leap Programme. 18 years ago I had 8 ½ hours of radical neurosurgery for a massive brain tumor on my brain stem and behind my spinal cord. Although I had had three books published and a number of children’s songs before surgery, my life now changed totally. Due to damaged nerves in my brain, my life was controlled by pain and trauma as I struggled emotionally to survive through life with my much longed for adopted daughters but with a damaged body and brain.

In Madonna’s first treatment she discovered that I was operating in survival mode with my brain functioning on the logic side. Gone was all my creativity and relaxation I had enjoyed as a teacher in special education and in mainstream teaching. Madonna not only gave me three treatments but she also taught me brain integration exercises which Chrissy and I used daily after our relaxation therapy together.

I had begun tutoring as teaching has always been one of the joys of my life. My sister, a counsellor at a most prestigious private school, rang me about a little boy needing tutoring. The little boy (Peter) after a year at school had uncontrollable behaviour and could not read at all. His mother was searching for a tutor to help her son over the Christmas holidays.

Peter was already on large doses of dexamphetamine for A.D.H.D but the school could not deal with him unless he was placed on an antidepressant. We decided that I would tutor him three mornings every week and he would have the Leap Programme 1 day a week.

He had been recently diagnosed with Aspergers Disease and his treating paediatrician felt a special school for intellectually impaired children might be a better solution.

As I began working with Peter, I realised that he was a highly intelligent boy with very mature language development but severe brain dysfunction.

After a few Leap treatments I began to realise his potential and interests. I began to capture his imagination. Learning for him had meant fear, trauma, and failure but we were able to change this attitude to fun, fun, fun and success! His treating specialist was totally amazed after 3mths as his Reading Age had improved 2 years and he was so stable even without antidepressants he could cope in his classroom.

The work he received on his Brain Function and his new desire to achieve allowed his reading to accelerate to his real potential so that in 8mths this little grade 2 boy tested at R.A. 11.5 years performing at grade 6 standard.

Many of my students have now received help with the Leap Programme. For me, new horizons have opened up as my tutoring business expands.

At present I am writing a new book which is very practical introducing parents to all the therapies I have found to be most helpful with teaching children with Autism, Aspergers Disease, A.D.H.D., brilliant children and Down Syndrome children .

I heard from a friend’s child recently about her daughter that had auditory processing problems and struggled with Reading and Phonics when I was tutoring her in grade 1. She went to Madonna for treatment with health problems and also had 7 Leap Treatments. She is at a private school giving wonderful support in learning problems. She is now in grade 9 receiving A’s and B’s for assignments and is very motivated to succeed. She is aiming to be a vet; her horizons have opened.

As tutoring and helping children with learning problems is my passion, I can tell you dozens of other success stories. If you choose help with the Leap Programme, your child will Leap over problems in learning.

Zeolite – Waiora Natural Cellular Defense: Why is it so different from normal detoxification methods?

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Natural Cellular Defense: Why is it so different from normal detoxification methods?

NCD activated Zeolite is a revolutionary new detoxification product: the ONLY fully cleansed zeolite product available.

I feel it is important to understand what makes this product so different from other means of detoxification.

Traditional detoxification methods like dietary change, take the pressure off the bodies detoxification pathways by giving the body less work to do.

Vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and other nutritional based detoxifiers support and improve our bodies built in detox pathways of the liver and within our cells.

Traditionally mixing the two together, i.e. dietary changes and supplementation can lead to fat loss; this allows toxins that have been stored in the fat to be released into circulation. With the additional support of the supplements it is more possible for the body to detoxify these toxins and have them removed from the body before they are stored again.

Natural Cellular Defense has an indirect effect on these pathways by mopping up the toxic load on the body, but its true revolutionary affect is that it

Bypasses these pathways and interacts directly with the circulating and stored toxins in the body.

Within its cage shaped structure there are negative charges that create an ionic transfer with small highly charged molecules. In our bodies these particles are heavy metals, viral and immune compounds.

So as the NCD travels through our bodies it just starts interacting with the highest charged toxins first. NCD encages the toxin in its structure, which renders the toxin inert, so there is no damage to the cells of the body during transportation through the body and elimination via the kidneys.

This is quite revolutionary, as the Zeolites bypass our traditional means of detoxification. In doing this stored toxins that may otherwise never be removed begin to be mopped up by the NCD.  For a person who has a defect in their detoxification pathways which leads an individual to accumulate more of a toxic burden than average, this is a long awaited product. These people now have a product that can reduce significantly the toxic load of their body. Where as before these individuals tend to get sicker and sicker struggling to live on planet earth in the modern environment. Now with the removal of their toxic burden their bodies can begin to heal, biochemical pathways that were once blocked begin to unblock and proper function can start to return.

Symptoms that these people often experience are:

Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue

Tiredness

Lethargy

Fibromyalgia

Chronic Pain

Stiffness

Tenderness and generalized soreness of their body

Chemical sensitivities

Intolerance to chemical smells

Feeling nauseous around chemicals

Poor health and immunity

Constant sore throats

Frequents colds

Heal poorly

Difficulty thinking and understanding things

The other revolutionary things about NCD is that it has been shown to remove Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) from the body such as

Formaldehyde

o-Dichlorobenzene

Toluene

Methylene Chloride

Benzene

Tetrachlordibenzodioxin

p-Dichlorobenzene

tetraclordibenzofuran

xylene

Hexachlorodiphenyl

This list comprises the top ten VOC that NCD has an affinity for, there are other chemicals that are also removed.

These chemicals are removed in a different way to heavy metals, it has been shown that the zeolite molecules in time, after clearing a lot of the heavy metal load of the body start to sandwich these VOC toxins between themselves, to remove the compounds from the body.

This again is quite revolutionary because some chemicals like Dioxins are flat molecules. Our bodies have known receptors for flat molecules, so essentially these toxins are unseen by our body. They then end up in our neural tissue and cellulite, interfering with our nervous system and hormonal pathways. The only way they have ever been shown to move from our bodies are with females. Dioxins have been shown to cross the placenta into unborn children and are also detectable in breast milk. So essentially in its own tragic way this decreases the mother’s burden of these toxins.

So for the first time we have at our availability a product that can remove dioxin from the body which is considered in general the most toxic substance that we accumulate.

Just to note they have taken biopsies of Eskimos who have never seen a pesticide or a bleached product (main dioxin causing chemicals ) and they have dioxin residues within their fat, there is not a person on the planet free from dioxin poisoning.

So with these direct detoxifying effects the pressure is taken off the liver and intracellular detox pathways, so these pathways can naturally function better.

A secondary detoxification effect also happens in the body as the toxicity gradients start to change.

An example of toxicity gradients is Mercury toxicity. If a person has Mercury amalgam fillings they will be emitting a certain amount of Mercury constantly into the bloodstream, so there is a constant amount of mercury in the bloodstream. This creates a gradient and as the vaporized mercury continues there is a point where the blood level gradient moves the mercury into the tissues of the body. So before NCD it was very difficult to detoxify someone of Mercury as they were constantly vaporizing mercury into their bloodstream and forcing it into their tissues. So on the removal of the amalgam fillings the blood level drops and the gradient reverses allowing a movement of mercury from the tissues back out into the bloodstream.

So the secondary detoxification affect of NCD works in the same way. As the soft tissues of your body are cleaned the gradients which have forced heavy metals deeper into your body, i.e. into your bones, changes and these deeply stored toxins start to move from the bone back into the bloodstream.

This is why it is important to take the NCD at a detox dose for a reasonable amount of time and then continue on a maintenance dose, because at a level you cannot see there is a deeper detoxification process continuing to occur that needs to be supported.

Why Detox? Is it really necessary??

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Why Detox??  Is detoxification really necessary?

Many of us are oblivious to the amount of toxins we breathe in, digest, and create daily.  Estimates range up to 70,000 toxins that we breathe in daily, and up to 10,000 that we ingest.  The humble shiny green apple has between 36-70 chemicals just to make it shiny!  Our power plants (there are 23 in Australia and 100’s throughout the world) release 4000 tonnes of mercury into the atmosphere every year.  No wonder our waterways have fish, known to be full of mercury and other toxins…

If we have ANY health problems, there’s over a 90% chance our inflammation, acidity, toxicity can be helped through detoxing.  Many doctors say 100% are caused by toxicity of numerous kinds. Our body’s simply can’t catch up with the amounts of toxins in the environment, and release them all.

There are viral and bacterial connections to many chronic health problems, fungal and candida connections to just about every disease.  Everything from arthritis to glandular fever, chronic fatigue to hashimotos, asthma to ulcers, has been linked to a gut problem, where these infections find a home base to live – not a good thing!

For someone who has allergic symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, sinusitis, rashes, hayfever, itches, often we have stored toxins, which are positively charged and creating inflammation.  Everytime our nose runs and our eyes itch, not only are there toxins plaguing our already unhappy body, but we are also storing inflammatory hormones, and often the drugs we use to treat these problems.

With aspergers, autism, ADD, ADHD there are links to heavy metals and allergens.  There are numerous studies which show high levels of heavy metals in hair mineral analysis, along with large amounts of stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenalin, running through the system. Nearly all show intolerances to wheat and dairy.  The organs of elimination and digestion simply don’t have the capacity to break them down properly.

In issues associated with weight loss, it is a well established fact that people who detoxify lose weight faster and don’t reach the hump that others reach.  Fat tissue also creates at least 30 inflammatory substances, all of which then need to be stored in the body, often in the fat tissue, once again.

With inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis, it is often shown that large amounts of toxins are attached to the bone cells.  This creates inflammation and causes degenerations to the area.

WHAT CAN WE DO?  The most universal detox product of all, which only detoxes and has no other function, is Waiora Natural Cellular Defense Zeolite product.  Ask Madonna for more information:  Email at healthteam@nlnt.com.au or phone: 0417 643 849 / 3348 6098

We also have full detoxification programmes which work through the body organ by organ and take the toxic load out of our systems!

Vaccinations in a poor immune system: worst case scenario from the naturopathic point of view.

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Unlike our medical counterparts who turn a blind eye to the side-effects of vaccinations, naturopaths and alternative health care professionals are seen to over-react to the concept of vaccinations.  Unfortunately there are many diseases and symptoms which parent believe linked to vaccines, and yet they are ignored for the most part and parents and naturopaths are considered fruit-loops!

We regularly have parents in our clinic who know, without a doubt, that a child’s personality, behaviour, immune system changed after vaccinations.  Is it a coincidence that the increase in the vaccination schedule goes hand in hand with an increase in asthma, allergies, ADHD, ADD, oppositional defiance disorder, and much more?  It’s scary when you start to look into vaccinations there are ‘the occasional death by vaccination’ but statistically it’s ‘too small to matter’.

Auto-immune diseases have been linked to vaccinations, the Swine Flu and Cervical Vaccines has created rheumatoid arthritis, hashimotos thyoid problems, skin issues such as eczema and much more.

Simply put, if our immune system isn’t viable and we inject toxins such as formadehyde, mercury, aluminium, embryo particles, it can’t handle it.  The body then goes into over-load and can shut down, affect the heart, affect the immune system and cause it to become over or underactive and much more.

The great news is that vaccination toxins can be removed with natural supplements such as glutathione, lipoic acid, ‘greens’ such as coriander (in big enough doses), along with natural therapies such as infrared saunas, frequency specific microcurrent, kinesiology and more.

Vaccination: Pros & Cons from a naturopathic perspective, Madonna Guy, Naturopath, Wynnum Brisbane

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Worried about vaccinations? Most people cope well, without side-effects and have no long-lasting effects.  As a naturopath, I’ve been treating immunity, pre-vaccination care and vaccination side-effects for 15 years.  Vaccinations are a tricky topic, very emotive and can be a huge struggle for parents to feel like they’re making the right decision.

Vaccination Benefits: If someone doesn’t take care of their health, then vaccination is perhaps the best option for them, but it’s people with poor immunity and poor health who are most likely to get the side-effects.  Vaccinations have been around for over 200 years and have without a doubt saved many thousands and thousand of lives over the years.  The theory is that people get close-to-immediate immunity for the specific ‘germ’ they are being treated for.

Most common side-effects of vaccinations: the usual suspects are fevers and vomiting.  Medically speaking, a vaccination side-effect must be reported within 24-48 hours, and the attending physician must ‘agree’ that it’s a side-effect or it doesn’t get reported.  This is how the AMA gets around the possibility of other problems being connected to vaccines.  It is interesting that problems such as Aspergers & Autism have been linked with vaccinations for 20 years or more, and yet they still claim that there’s no connection.  Consider this:  vaccinations by-pass the immune system, by being injected directly into the bloodstream, including all of the delightful vaccination-extras such as mercury, aluminium and formaldehydes.  As preservatives, they are fantastic, and they can last in our bodies for many year.

With 15 years experience, we suspect that vaccinations are linked with many health issues such as:

  • increasing asthma levels
  • auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and hashimotos
  • increasing allergies (1 in 4 in Australia)
  • increasing levels of autism and aspergers
  • poor behaviour, ADD, ADHD and ODD in children
  • poor immunity – constant colds and flus – after all we can’t vaccinate for everything!!!
  • chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia (heavy metals are linked with both)

What can we do to remove vaccination toxins, boost natural immunity and help the brain?

  • frequency specific microcurrent and specific nutrition to remove vaccination toxins
  • LEAP, NOT and other specialised kinesiology techniques to reconnect the brain
  • infrared saunas to boost toxin removal and detoxification from the body
  • using natural therapies, nutritional supplements, micrrocurrent techniques to increase immunity
  • testing processes such as live blood analysis, heavy metal toxicity, urine tests, cellular analysis to find the extent of the toxicity and the oxidative stress, and see improvement as it is being removed.
