QUESTION
We have a friend recently diagnosed with Bi-Polar and he wants
to heal it the natural way… I am researching it for him as I’d like
to see him go that way instead of with what the doctor wants him to take.
Any info you could share would be most appreciated, thank you! DL

 

ANSWER
Many respected medical doctors have used proper nutrition to treat emotional and psychological conditions, as well as physical. From Dr. Linus Pauling, nobel prize winner, to Dr. Abram Hoffer (co-authors of the extensive book OrthoMolecular Medicine) are just two of many. OrthoMolecular Medicine  means using vitamins and minerals in therapeutic dosages. Dr. Abram Hoffer was medical advisor of a Mental Institution in Saskatchewan and had far better results treating schizophrenic patients with nutrition than drugs. He also had promising results with cancer patients using a nutritional protocol. Besides being an acclaimed author and running a busy medical, practice Dr. Hoffer lectured internationally for many years, to Medical practitioners and students, so it is surprising to hear some doctors say, “ nutrition is not proven or researched”.

 

Researchers do not definitively understand some conditions, such as Bipolar. Theories range considerably, with no proven hypotheses. A shortage of lithium in the brain is one, just as a shortage of serotonin has been hypothesized to cause depression. More recent research throws considerable doubt on both of these theories.  A study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry  from U. Michigan, 2000, reports “in those with bipolar disorder, two major areas of the brain contain 30 percent more cells that send signals to other brain cells.” This report theorizes that “the extra signal-sending cells may lead to a kind of over-stimulation, which makes sense considering the symptoms of bipolar disorder”. Researchers are quite certain that the neurotransmitter system is at least part of the cause of bipolar disorder, but further research is still needed to define its exact role.

 

Most scientists concur that  psychological disorders are usually caused by multiple interacting  factors,  including biological, (heredity or genetic tendency) and psychological.  One of the best researched current explanations is  the “Diathesis-Stress Model.” The word diathesis means, in simplified terms, a bodily condition that make a person more than usually susceptible to certain diseases. Thus the Diathesis-Stress Model says that “each person inherits certain physical predispositions that leave him or her vulnerable to problems that may or may not appear, depending on what kinds of situations that person confronts” (Bernstein et al., 2000). Durand and Barlow define this model as a “hypothesis that both an inherited tendency and specific stressful conditions are required to produce a disorder” (2000).

A manic or depressive incidence is usually triggered by a stressful life event or issues in the person’s environment. This may include the loss of something or someone, a loved one, job, home; to any change such as the birth of a child, a new job or home, a move, or threatening life situations. Remember that what is a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual stressor to one person may not be to another.  Once the disorder is triggered and progresses, “it seems to develop a life of its own. Once the cycle begins, a psychological or pathophysiological process takes over and ensures that the disorder will continue” (Durand & Barlow, 2000).

We know that stress can be approached naturally via the Four Pillars of Health as described in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program. To briefly outline,  the four pillars are listed below, with some specifics relating to BiPolar:
  • DIET: superior nutrition through improved diet, much like that recommended in the book. A diet that is beneficial for treatment and prevention of cancer is the same diet that helps improve everyone’s overall health.
  • EMOTIONAL HEALTH: especially stress reduction techniques, including meditation, yoga, relaxation, energy clearing,  counselling
  • EXERCISE:  to stimulate our “feel good” neurotransmitters, chemicals and hormones
  • HERBS and SUPPLEMENTS: some that we have had positive experience with for bipolar are:

 

Daily Maintenance suggestions:
Stress Formula  or  Nervous Support Pak (US) – includes B vitamins, relaxing nervine herbs, or
Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic – to help regulate Chi or energy flow, plus providing trace mineral nutrition
Super Omega 3‘s to support the nervous system – at

 

In times of Manic or Depressive phases, add:
STR-C – (STRess Chinese)  a Chinese constitutional formula that calms an agitated mind – this one specifically to help calm a manic phase
AD-C – (AntiDepressant Chinese) A Chinese constitutional formula that clears stagnant Chi to help relieve depression

 

Therapeutic essential oils of  Ylang ylang, Rose Geranium, and Lemon have also been used as an effective aids.

 

As people with this condition can be helped with natural supplementation,  this is preferable to drug treatment, as all drugs have toxic side effects.  Besides the drug negative effects, many do not address the underlying causes, exacerbate the condition and may cause complications due to their addictive nature. In a crisis, if drugs are required, work at bringing the body back into balance for long term health.

Diet for Cancer….. and Creation of Optimum Health

Cancer, Chlorophyll, Healthy Solutions, , , , , , , ,

Dietary Recommendations for renegade cell growth, aka cancer, and all chronic or degenerative health conditions:

The DO NOTS:

  • Avoid “white” foods: white flour, sugar, processed salt, white fats, processed dairy, except some organic yogurt butter, or raw natural cheeses, quark, kefir, etc.  Goat’s milk products are better digested for humans, clean and raw is best.
  • Do not eat sugar in any form, ESPECIALLY refined sugar products. Learn to recognize different names for sugar. Do NOT substitute with  artificial sweeteners such as aspartame. Only acceptable sweeteners are fresh fruit, stevia or xylitol.
  • Do not eat refined high gluten, especially wheat products – most North Americans have developed gluten intolerance, meaning they do not digest it properly, leading to fermentation and intestinal inflammation.
  • Do not drink cold water with your meals.  If you must drink with your meals, have hot or warm herbal teas, or Chlorophyll to stimulate, not shut down digestion.
  • Do not use the microwave.
  • Do not use canned vegetables.
  • Do not use chemical cleaners
  • DO eat as much raw or slightly steamed organic vegetables as possible. See: Super- AntiOxidants Foods, which includes a basic recipe for Super Shakes, or go over these with your Natural Health Consultant (NHC).
  • DO read labels on food.  Know and understand how many toxins are in what is available as “food” today.

So this is what you should NOT eat.

The DO’S:

What about what you SHOULD eats? Please refer to my book,  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer, which has references throughout to help you with a healthy diet. I have many details throughout the success stories, under basic recommendations, under the 4 Pillars of Health, plus in the Recipes chapter. Some simple suggestions to follow are:

  • Eat more vegetables – of every colour, raw, baked, steamed or stir fried
  • drink hot or warm herbal teas, or Chlorophyll to stimulate, not shut down digestion, plus adding minerals, and alkalizing your blood.
  • Choose low glycemic fruits
  • Eat low gluten, alkalizing grains
  • Eat nuts and seeds made more digestible by sprouting, soaking and grinding.
  • Dairy alternatives, such as almond, barley, soy or brown rice milk are acceptable- check for sugar content.
  • Choose organic, especially for any animal foods.
  • DO wash all fruits and vegetables in Nature’s Sunshine Concentrate.  Use it in your bath or shower, as shampoo and as your household cleaning agent.
  • DO read labels on food.  Know and understand how many toxins are in what is available as “food” today.
  • DO eat as much raw or slightly steamed organic vegetables as possible. See: Super- AntiOxidants Foods, which includes a basic recipe for Super Shakes, or go over these with your Natural Health Consultant (NHC).
  • Healthy supplements to take to build your body during your cure are the following:

    For more suggestions, get the book – a great health investment for everyone!

 

For Cancer…..

MOST IMPORTANT:  This is the easy part.  Follow the Paw Paw program as per directions to start and increase as per instructions in the book.  Depending on your cancer, you may be required to take this for 4 months up to a couple of years.  Maintenance and prevention are recommended, as all people develop cancerous cell growth and we need to keep it under control.  For those who have had cancer, this is highly recommended. For more information about Paw Paw, ask your NHC.  Paw Paw can be used along with Allopathic Medical Therapy; in fact it can enhance chemotherapy effectiveness.

  • Insure your body has sufficient minerals.  Chinese Mineral Chi or Essential Liquid Minerals are both excellent natural sources of minerals and suggested for a long time.
  • Take Protease Plus Enzymes to help metabolize protein and help breakdown cancer cells.
  • Super Oil  or Super Omega 3 will help with your “internal electrical wiring”, and rebuilding healthy cell membranes.
  • Support your body with Zambroza, the strongest blend of antioxidants known to date.
  • Support the area of the body where the cancer is.  You may want to add herbs specific to your type of cancer. For example, for cancer of the prostate, support with Saw Palmetto Extract, Liver with a liver formula, as your NHC recommends.

The Paw Paw program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer is an informative book clearly explaining the effective, safe, natural approach to cancer. It is jam packed with tips for achieving optimum health no matter what condition one encounters, with recipes, diet and other lifestyle suggestions to maintain optimum health and prevent disease.

For serious health conditions, it is important to work with a natural health care practitioner or consultant who is comfortable working with your condition, especially cancer. The amount of research can be overwhelming. You would not try to strip down your car engine and rebuild it without assistance or previous knowledge. Consider this, as you need to rebuild your body to eliminate cancer or any other disease. The advice of a qualified NHC can assist you in the optimal selection of a program for you and to monitor your results with you.

Remember, cancer, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, diabetes – all chronic health challenges can be helped when you help your body return to a state of balanced health!  Believe it!  Be proactive in your cure – do not leave it all up to the medical community – work with them to help yourself.  A natural health  professional can work with others with whom you choose to share your healing journey.

This program is designed to enhance the natural healing abilities of your body, rather than ‘fight’ any particular disease. It is one part of a comprehensive program, including corrective diet, emotional clearing, exercise as required, proper elimination and other natural health and life building aspects.

The Paw Paw program and any aids in the book are not counter-indicated with orthodox medical treatment, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. It can enhance the effectiveness and decrease the negative side effects of these approaches.

NSP Silver Guard and Gel for eliminating thrush

Candida /Fungus, Silver, Success Stories, , , ,

C”s mouth was full of thrush, we cleaned as best as we could with a swab and water, and gave her NSP Silver Guard Liquid to swallow, then put the NSP Silver Shield Gel in her mouth. Two hours later she was trying to spit something out, so we got another swab and what came out was the whole lining of skin from her mouth. We kept applying twice a day, in 2 days all the thrush was gone. BL from Vancouver, BC

Lorene Benoit’s comments: Both Silver Guard Liquid and Silver Gel are great for all mouth sores, ulcers, gum inflammation, pyrohhea, absecces and tooth decay (both prevention and treatment).  Although Health Canada has insisted we label the Silver Guard as Mouthwash, everyone realizes it is exactly the same product that we also  take internally. It has been proven to  kill over 600 strains of bacteria, virus and fungus.

 

 

 

 

 

Water – How Much To Drink?

Healthy Solutions, Questions and Answers, , , , , , ,

QUESTION:

There has been a lot of contr0versy about how much water a person needs to drink daily. What is your opinion?

JV, from AZ

ANSWER:

How much water you should drink every day?

A recent National newscast stated that we did not need to drink water unless we are thirsty, but the problem is that many people do not recognize thirst and mistake it for hunger.  On this show some medical doctor stated we get enough in our fruits and vegetables. But other Doctors, such as Dr. Batamanghelidj, author of Your Body’s Many Cries for Water,  state otherwise. Macrobiotic theory does not promote excess water drinking. Their diet is well balanced in yin and yang, with adjustments for where they live, what season, consists of many more vegetables than a  Standard American Diet (SAD) and does not have excess yin and yang of sugar salt and coffee. From my clinical experience, many diets are deficient in fruits and vegetables. So obviously how much water is a controversial subject!

What I advise my clients is to divide their body weight in pounds by 1/2 and that equals the number of ounces of water needed per day. For example for a 150 lb. person  divided by 2 = 75 oz. per day. This is just a  guideline figure to be adjusted to suit you. Adjust according to YOUR level of activity, temperature, age and your diet. Pay attention to your body, keep in mind the  9 points below,  know the signs of dehydration and listen to your body!

 The Importance of Water

#1.    75% of North Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population)

#2.    In 37% of North Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3.    Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as 3%. Water is necessary for digestion, circulation, hormonal reproduction, elimination, brain electrical activity, in fact most metabolic processes necessary for life.

#4.    One glass of water shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University  of Washington study.

#5.    Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. Confusion, headaches and fuzzy thinking may be relieved by a glass of water.

#6.    Some research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. This amount of course should depend on a number of factors I list above.

#7.    A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

#8.    Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

#9.     In people over age 50, the body’s thirst sensation diminishes and continues diminishing with age. Many senior citizens suffer symptoms of dehydration, which can affect thinking and moods.

Success with Tei Fu Oil

Allergies, Cold & Flu Tips, Sinus, Success Stories, , ,

As we were  sunning ourselves on a  beautiful Mexican beach, we saw a woman throw herself off a passing boat, followed shortly by her young son jumping in. As she pulled her gasping self up on the sand, her body green like an iguana, her son said she was ready to die with severe motion sickness. I asked if she would trust me, knowing I was a fellow Canadian, and when she said she’s try anything, I gave her a couple of drops of Tei Fu Oil on her hand to lick off. We repeated this in 10 mins. plus put a drop in each nostril. Within 45 minutes, she was up walking around and felt like she had never been sick. She has suffered from severe motion sickness for years, and said sometimes she will be sick for days afterward. She thanked me for “saving her life.

I am so glad I always carry this tiny first aid kit in a bottle with me, as it has helped many people over the years.

Paw Paw Program Upgrade

Cancer, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Update July, 2023

At Nature’s Sunshine 35th Canadian Health and Herbal Conference, Oct. 2011, I attended an excellent lecture from  Dr. Jay P. VandenHeuvel, PhD, ND on natural approaches to cancer.* This was an affirming lecture, as everything he mentioned is included in my book:  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally. Based on recent research case studies that he and Dr. Gerry McLaughlin have conducted,  many people experience benefit by the addition of these singles and formula herbs to those presented in my book.

1. Taking Paw Paw (Asimina triloba) every six hours. This means 4 times per day, rather than 3, thus keeping a regular interval of 6 hours. In Dr. VandenHeuvel’s words, “Get the cancer by the throat and don’t let it go.”

Those who have read my book will understand this from my explanation of the exponential growth of abnormally reproducing cells. A little timer can help one accommodate this time frame. This may also mean that dosage can be increased to optimum chemo-therapeutic level. Remember this level is just below where you experience no nausea or other digestive or elimination challenge.

2. Addition of two herbs which I mention in my book: Pau D’Arco (p. 55 or 57)* and E-Tea (Essiac Tea p. 53, 202 or 55, 204)**.

These herbs have been traditionally used in cancer programs and are very effective. For simplicity, I suggest starting on the basic 4 program until you determine your optimum level of Paw Paw. Then based on Dr. VandenHeuvel’s successes, I  encourage these two herbs to be added to the basic 4 of The Paw Paw Program , if one is willing to add to their program.

For simplicity and effectiveness you can open 4-8 capsules Pau D’arco and add to 3 cups hot water; using a quart sealer or thermos if you want it to stay hot. Do the same with capsules of E-Tea. You can prepare each separately, or combine them. Some people prefer to have two different tasting teas to consume throughout the day. Taking them as a tea makes them more easily absorbed, as well helping you have adequate healthy liquid intake throughout the day. They can be used as your drink to take your other herbs.

NB:   As links tend to change over the years, please Contact us,  for personalized, expert assistance in obtaining any of herbs or supplements mentioned on this website. We have worked with one major quality professional herbal source since 1985 and can help you get the best for your health and your money. We offer all clients wholesale pricing. Do you want expertise and support or do you want a no-name, illegal Amazon seller? (Fine for household goods, but for your own health??)

Are you worth the best?

I prefer liquids to be taken at room temperature, and there is no problem with these teas sitting out for 24 hrs. If you do not like the taste of either of these, they can be taken as capsules, if you add at least 1 large cup of water to absorb and activate the herbs, with every dose of capsules.

As per explanations in my book about quality of herbs, the same holds true for both these herbs, as NSP species of Pau D’Arco contains the N-Factors (napthaquinone) and A-Factors (anthraquinones) required to be effective, and NSP E-Tea is the original Essiac formulation properly prepared and tested for potency.

In my consulting experience, many people are taking too many supplements. So I prioritize those that should be added, or suggest these to replace others that may be impotent, poor quality, or contradictory to their overall program. The top two additional choices  for me are Cat’s Claw Combination and Turmeric.

Cat’s Claw/Una de Gato is a traditional herb that has been the Peruvian cancer herb of choice for centuries. Cat’s Claw (CA) /  Una de Gato (US) combination has been combined with Echinacea and Astragalus. This formula cleanses and strengthens the immune, intestinal and structural systems and helps counteract the effects of chemotherapy and radiation by supporting the immune system. It is also an excellent lymphatic system support.

Turmeric Curcumin, is a potent blend of Turmeric (Curcuma longa)  which has been standardized to 95% curcuminoids and Black Pepper (Piper nigrum)for enhanced absorption.

As studies  and research show conclusive positive effects on reversing cancer, turmeric was mentioned  by almost every doctor in all 7  Asian countries in the 2019 Truth About Cancer. Besides anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, turmeric helps improve intestinal microbiome, and can help reduce pain.

Be sure to use one that contains enough curcuminoids, the active ingredient, to help!  We use a standardized concentrate. This means 2 vegi-capsules equal 1.4 pounds of whole turmeric root. For comparison, you might need 50 -200 capsules of regular turmeric capsules to have this potency, or try eating 1.4 pounds per day?!

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll, , , , , , ,

What is chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll is the green matter in plants referred to as “the blood of plant life” for it closely resembles the red content of the blood of humans.  Dr. Richardson says “drinking chlorophyll is like getting a blood transfusion”.

NOTE: Product links change frequently, with every website update and regulatory upgrade, so please contact us for detailed info on any products mentioned. This will also ensure you get the best products for YOU, 20 = 25% discount, Free Shipping, and discounted consulting rates with herbal, nutritional experts.

Why chlorophyll is useful?

Dr. Theodore Rudolph calls chlorophyll “Green Magic” because it has the ability to break down poisonous carbon dioxide, thereby releasing oxygen which inhibits the action of anaerobic bacteria.  Anaerobic bacteria is a disease producing microorganism living in many human bodies. Scientists have also found that chlorophyll helps to thicken and strengthen the walls of the body cells of living animals and that it promotes the elimination of toxins from the body.

 Reference:  Dr. T. Rudolf: “Chlorophyll: Nature’s Green Magic”

 

Uses of chlorophyll

  • has been used to deodorize ulcerative conditions, including cancer.
  • chronic painful leg ulcers have been healed in six to ten weeks with external   application of concentrated chlorophyll.
  • drops have been used to clear sinusitis, hay fever, rhinitis, otitis media (ear canal).
  • use after dental extraction and oral surgery.  The American Journal of Surgery (October 1943) “the use of chlorophyll liquid has a therapeutic place in acute and chronic suppurative (pus producing ) diseases of the oral cavity.” You can see chlorophyll has a long history as an accepted medical adjunct.
  • prevents tooth decay (swish and swallow).
  • has been used to clear up pyorrhea (infection of the gums) and gingivitis (bleeding  gums).
  • relieves tonsillitis and laryngitis :  gargle every hour with chlorophyll, spit out.  Swallow chlorophyll capsules and take Echinacea/Golden Seal and 1,000 mg natural Vitamin C every hour.
  • chlorophyll is very effective for stomach ulcers taken every two hours.
  • has been used successfully to treat enteritis and colitis :  use two chlorophyll capsules with half a glass of warm water every hour.  This will reduce acid, mucous gas formation and putrefaction in the bowels.
  • aids in blood sugar problems.
  • lubricates ileocecal valve.
  • increases iron in blood.
  • Is a great addition to water, warm or cold, for all ages from infancy to senior, for overall health. It is mentioned as an addition to the cancer aid book The Paw Paw Program. For more information The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.

For Vaginitis, Trichomones, Leucorrhea, a douche with one capsule chlorophyll  opened into warm distilled water nightly for one week then every second night the  second week, etc., as needed.  Then insert chlorophyll into the vaginal tract.  Include Super Vitamins & Minerals, HRP-C and a bowel cleanser in this program.

For Hemorrhoids liquid chlorophyll can be injected into the rectal area and retained for  fifteen minutes.  Then a pin pricked chlorophyll capsule can be inserted into the rectal area at bed time.  Treat every night for one week, then every second night for the second week and so on.

Arteriosclerosis, High Blood Pressure and Arthritis: about one teaspoon of  chlorophyll in a glass of water 3 – 4 times daily along with chlorophyll capsules will  assist the body to combat hardening of the arteries.

 Athlete’s Foot:  wash the foot with Tea Tree Oil, soap and water.  Dry feet thoroughly. Place feet in basin of 10 parts        warm water and one part liquid chlorophyll.  Soak the feet for thirty minutes.  Spread chlorophyll ointment between the toes and cover with gauze and wrap in a bandage.  Use this treatment every day for two weeks.

For Deodorant:  drink chlorophyll in water daily and soak feet in chlorophyll solution.

As a General Tonic: chlorophyll is a tissue builder, raises iron in blood, increases energy levels, oxygen levels, metabolism and inhibits the action of carcinogens. Use one tablespoon in half a glass of water twice daily.

 Liver :  taking chlorophyll capsules and drinking liquid chlorophyll daily helps to purify the liver, eliminate drug deposits, old toxic material, chemical sprays on foods,  artificial flavoring, coloring and coal tar products.  It helps to get the bile to move      regularly.

Calcium :  chlorophyll helps to control and regulate calcium levels in the blood.

 Bowels :  chlorophyll reduces acid which produces putrefaction and destroys toxins.

Chlorophyll Ointment :  open five chlorophyll capsules to 1/2 bottle of Golden Salve to make an ointment.  Apply generous amount of ointment over the wound.  Cover with gauze, then cellophane.  Change dressing every 48 to 72 hours.  Use for burns,  wound, external ulcers, itching, rectal burning, ivy poisoning, weeping and dry eczema, insect bites, skin infection and impetigo.

 

Testimonials:

  • A 10 year-old girl had an infected hang nail on the toe.  She washed it well using Tea Tree Oil and soap and water. Then opened up a chlorophyll capsule and squeezed it onto the infected area.  The next day the toe was entirely healed.
  • A lady with stomach ulcers drank Chlorophyll and water and herbal combination ULC-R+(formerly HP fighter) to clear up her ulcers.
  • One lady had a problem with anemia and took Chlorophyll.  It took just about one week before it took effect and now she is regaining her energy.
  • One lady had extremely bad menstrual cramps, bloating and heavy bleeding.  She used Calcium, HSN-W, FCSII, Chlorophyll, a cleansing combination and Black Cohosh.  The change was unbelievable.

Q&A Natural Laxatives – a good solution

Colon/Cleansing, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , , , ,

Question:

Do you have something I can take every day instead of the laxatives I am on? I have been diagnosed with a tortuous bowl, and can not go without laxatives, I am taking senna, or senokot as it’s called, seems I have to wait months for more testing. Let me know………………cheers

 

Answer:

Thank for contacting us with this question. Yes, There are a couple of herbal formulations that would be more effective than senekot, and would also offer longer term  healing. The challenge with senekot is that it is a synthetic compilation of a natural herb called senna. Unfortunately the other additions are all mostly toxic: D&C Yellow No. 10 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Yellow No. 6 Aluminum Lake, lecithin, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, and titanium dioxide.

I would encourage you to look at the full fact sheets on these two herbal combinations, LBS II and BWL BLD (stands for Bowel Build) , then   make a choice. Either will help; the LBS might be better to get things moving if constipation is a problem; the BWL BLD can be better if there is alternating constipation and diarrhea. There is also one very similar to LBS, which is in Liquid extract form LB. Nature’s Sunshine has about 20 formulas to help the bowel function better, so keep in touch until we get the best plan for you. Call our office to order any of these!

For any chronic condition, you will want to follow lifestyle recommendations concerning diet, adequate water intake, exercise and emotions, as explained in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally

Kidney Stones: Causes, Prevention and Emergency Treatment

Bladder and Kidney, Healthy Solutions, , , , ,

Kidney stones can be the cause of great pain and distress.  Symptoms could include pain originating in the middle back and radiating around to the front lower abdominal area.  The urine may contain blood or pus.  There may be nausea and vomiting.  Irritation by the stones may induce an infection in the urinary tract causing fever and chills.  Once a stone starts growing in the kidneys, it continues to grow without any specific symptoms.  The jagged stone travelling down the urethra and scraping the lining causes pain.

 

CAUSES of  KIDNEY STONES

There are several different kinds of kidney stones; if possible, collection and analysis will help determine exact cause. However, they are all due to mineral imbalance of some kind. 80% or more are calcium-oxalate stones, formed by an imbalance of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus (both meat and milk are higher in phosphorus than calcium). An excess of phosphorus displaces the calcium and causes it to precipitate out of solution.  Magnesium helps keep calcium in solution in the body so the calcium does not precipitate to form stones.

Calcium-oxalate stones also form when there is a deficiency of Vitamin B6.  When vitamin B6 is under supplied, the amino acid glycine is improperly utilized and changes into oxalic acid. Omitting foods containing oxalic acid (rhubarb, spinach) does not stop stone formation, as oxalate stones can still be formed even when there is no oxalic acid in the diet.  The problem is the B6 deficiency.

 

DIETARY CONSIDERATIONS

A good supply of Hydrochloric digestive acid (use Protein Digestive Aid or Digestive Enzymes with HCl) is important when consuming meat, to properly digest and absorb minerals, and help prevent stone formation.

Acidic foods like apple cider vinegar (stimulates natural HCl secretion) and pure cranberry juice (can be sweetened with Stevia) help keep calcium in solution by acidifying the urine.

 

PREVENTION FOR KIDNEY STONES

  • Avoid anti-acid preparations.  They create severe magnesium deficiency, causing stones, as well as alkalizing the urine contributing to stone formation. Take digestive aids to prevent the problem.
  • Drink plenty of pure water – about 2 quarts per day – to flush out the kidneys on an on going basis.
  • Two tablets of Magnesium (#1786-6) with one Vitamin B6 tablet (#1626-6) will prevent most stone formation. Take this daily, once stones have been eliminated. These two and either of the following herbs are recommended for maintenance.
  • Hydrangea (#395-6) is a herb used for its solvent properties for kidney stones or gallstones, and gout.  Two capsules per meal for a couple of months may help dissolve existing stones.
  • Uva Ursi (#710-9) is a herb that supports urinary function, treats infections, and has been used to dissolve kidney stones.
  • Cranberry Buchu (#834-5) Cranberry helps acidify the urine and Buchu helps dissolve kidney stones, as well as prevent infection. When taken as a combination,  you have enhanced synergy for better results.
  • Any of the above can be taken as capsules or may be made into a tea (1-2 capsules/cup) a quart or more can be drunk every day.

 

EMERGENCY KIDNEY STONE PROCEDURE

Every 15 minutes drink the juice of one lemon, preferably organic. Take Marshmallow (#440-0), about 4 capsules 4 times a day – it is a mucilaginous, slippery herb and helps the stones to pass with less pain and damage to the urinary tract. It is high in Zinc to promote healing. Also take Hydrangea (#395-6) 3 capsules 4 times a day to help dissolve the stone. Lobelia – internally – .5 ml every ½ – 1 hour as needed, will help relax the ureters, and calm nerves to decrease pain.  Externally – rub a few drops over area for pain and to stop spasms.

Usually this will take no longer than 12 – 14 hours to pass stone(s).  If you urinate through a strainer and can collect the stone(s), it can help to determine to which type you are prone.

Afterwards, Echinacea and  Golden Seal (#835-2 capsules – up to 6/day or #3180-1 liquid – 3ml/day) can be used to aid healing and to help prevent infection in damaged ureters.

Then follow maintenance suggested under “Prevention for Kidneys Stones”. The supplementation to prevent future attacks, especially for Magnesium and B6 is not expensive, especially when one considers the pain and possible damage caused by a stone. Correcting the underlying imbalance with natural aids will also help prevent other chronic conditions and enhance overall health.

The kidneys are essential to life; if you are having challenges, consult a trained herbalist or natural health practitioner to guide you in the healing process.

 Our blog offers ongoing health tips. Articles added since the last newsletter, with a direct link for those you want to read.

Sinus Conditions

Prescription antibiotics, inhalants and OTC decongestant drugs may reduce inflammation and swelling, however they do nothing to promote healing or removal of the cause. Long term use can increase dependency and reduce effectiveness, leading to stronger drugs or surgery.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is NOT a fat and is necessary for our health, especially hormonal. It is Acetyl Co-Enzyme A.  It just happens to be transported by fats in the bloodstream. This article gives good background to support the idea we have promoted for years – that statin drugs to lower cholesterol have nothing to do with heart health and everything to do with selling more drugs. For more info read:  Cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease

Political Scene

Politically incorrect to be forcing this on humanity whether we like it or not. Please share with those who care about kids.

Every Parent Needs to See: 

http://www.buergerwelle.de:8080/helma/twoday/bwnews/stories/3343/

Every person needs to be aware of our increased wi-fi exposure from many sources and the effect it is having, especially on children. More and more school districts in Canada have wisely decided to remove all wi-fi from their schools, due to the proven negative physical and mental health challenges.

Lorene says to watch:
minute 13:00 about safe options used in Collingwood
minute 16:00 reference to Saanich school, Vancouver Island
minute 25: suggestions to make change, by retired principal and resident fighting cell tower installation
Minute 29: explanation of radiation types

Very interesting about children with cardiac arrests, several dying, atrial fibrillation up to increase headaches, lack of concentration and cancer increase.
