UPDATED August, 2024:

Looks like the Avian flu will be our next plandemic. Be prepared for another onslaught of fear based propaganda.

“They” have had years since my 2009 post to ensure the avian flu will transmit to other species. They have had 15 YEARS to refine their media propaganda campaigns. They will use this as a great excuse to kill off more of our food supply,  already happening with chickens and eggs;  and spend yet more billions of taxpayers’ money to enrich Big Pharma and global  control over every human activity and choice.

If you are not aware of any of  this, or who “they” is, just read a few my many research articles on the Convid/ Covid) Plandemic, since Mar 2020.  Time for everyone to protect any freedoms for future generations. Learn to say “I DO NOT CONSENT“, and stick to your convictions. Trust the real science, your common sense, and not the govt talking heads.

UPDATED Jan, 2020:

Tips to Make the Avian Flu Fly Away applies to ALL infectious conditions, viral and bacterial, including CoronaVirus, SARS, Swine, all varieties of “Flu” , Colds, Rhinovirus, MRSA, Strep, and any other “epidemic” threatening to wipe out human existence and frighten us into injecting more vaccine toxins into our already overloaded bodies.

Natural healing works to bring the body into balance and maintain our natural immunity, which is our best defence. It will not weaken our system, nor contribute to creation of anti-biotic resistant mutations, which is what has happened with pharmaceutical overuse and misuse.

Herbs that worked during the 1800’s plague;  Chinese anti-viral herbs that have worked for 5,000 years, like VS-C  (liquid or capsules) in US ;  HRP-C – liquid or capsules in CA; and adaptogens such as Astragalus; plus improved processing of products like ionic Silver, will continue to  work to our benefit.

Five inexpensive and SAFE suggestions for those who are worried about any seasonal infections:

1. Drink 1 capful of NSP Silver Shield Liquid per day.

2. Use NSP Silver Shield Liquid in a spray bottle to:

  • inhale
  • sterilize hands
  • take a swig, gargle  and hold 6 minutes, then swallow, at the first sign of any throat irritation
  • Silver Shield Liquid can also be put into nasal spray bottles (available at our office), to help get it farther into nasal passages and for sinus related conditions
  • Silver Shield is far more effective than Colloidal Silver  – learn the difference.

3. Take 1-4 per day of NSP Vit. D3  60 tabs  or 180 tabs, (2000 IU per tablet). Multiple research confirms the beneficial role of Vit. D3 in treatment and  prevention of Cancer, Diabetes, MS, osteoporosis, depression…..to name a few.  Click on search bar in top right of blog for more research on Vit. D3 or contact Lorene for assistance.

4. And from one of Dr. Pedersen’s webinars for doctors and other health professionals, who are likely people to come in contact with this flu and many other infections on a daily basis:
Dab some NSP Silver Shield Gel in each nostril 1-3 times a day; it keeps your mucous membranes naturally moist. In addition,  the Silver will kill inhaled contaminants. We always use this when flying or in any crowded, enclosed area for hours, such as schools, shopping malls, parties…..

5. Check out my “TIPS TO BALANCE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM” …..comments welcome!

Remember – whether our body is a good host to germs, viruses and any pathogens is up to us! This is all dependant upon our diet, stress levels, and seasonal cleansing to help keep it clean and pure so we do NOT provide a good host.

Should all the above measures not all be in place and you do find yourself sick, please check out “CRISIS MANAGEMENT” on our website.

Be healthy, happy and wise!

Kudos to an educated RCMP officer

Herbal Wisdom, , , , , ,

Royal Canadian Mounted Police have for years been prided as Canadian law enforcers. This officer with 21 years service is leaving over a  basic Constitutional Right that Canadian totalitarian government is denying him, and many others.

Let us hope that more RCMP will side with supporting Canadians’ rights, rather than allegiance to a Queen who, alive or dead, does not respect us as men,  women, or children.

He is standing up for freedom. He offers excellent warnings about Turdope’s demonic plan to inject every child in CA; the rest of the world is the same.

Like this man, I personally know many unjabbed people with the flu. It’s flu season. Yes,  it’s contagious, like the flu, like a cold. They get over it, without testing, without going to a doctor or the hospital. Most of those unjabbed have the trust to treat naturally. See  Crisis Management for tips.

Many of those jabbed end up in hospital and are having a harder go of it. Depends on whose stats you believe.

I agree with Corporal Richard Mehner’s worldwide stats, and have previously checked mortality rate in Canada for ALL respiratory conditions  from 2015 – 2021. It concurs with his world stats.

 

He has done some excellent research, and I encourage you to read his parting letter.

Then decide what YOU will do in 2022 to stop this tyranny.

One of the easiest is DO NOT CONSENT.  If everyone stopped testing, this plandemic would be over.

2 More Studies on Turmeric Curcumin

Cancer, COVID-19, Healthy Solutions, Herbal Wisdom, , , , , , , ,

The ancient Indian spice turmeric strikes again!

Learn why Turmeric is effective in neutralizing SAR-CoV-2, for many of the same reasons it is also effective for renegade cell growth, aka cancer.

1. Turmeric Root and Its Bioactive Ingredient Curcumin Effectively Neutralize SARS-CoV-2 In Vitro

The application of turmeric root in herbal medicine has a very long history.

Its bioactive ingredient curcumin shows a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. In the present study, we investigated the antiviral activity of aqueous turmeric root extract, the dissolved content of a curcumin-containing nutritional supplement capsule, and pure curcumin against SARS-CoV-2.

Turmeric root extract, dissolved turmeric capsule content, and pure curcumin effectively neutralized SARS-CoV-2 at subtoxic concentrations in Vero E6 and human Calu-3 cells. Furthermore, curcumin treatment significantly reduced SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels in cell culture supernatants. Our data uncovers curcumin as a promising compound for complementary COVID-19 treatment. Curcumin concentrations contained in turmeric root or capsules used as nutritional supplements completely neutralized SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.

2. This study finds turmeric extract selectively and safely killing cancer stem cells in a way that chemo and radiation can not.

A groundbreaking new study published in the journal Anticancer Research reveals that one of the world’s most extensively researched and promising natural compounds for cancer treatment: the primary polyphenol in the ancient spice turmeric known as curcumin, has the ability to selectively target cancer stem cells, which are at the root of cancer malignancy, while having little to no toxicity on normal stem cells, which are essential for tissue regeneration and longevity.

Titled, “Curcumin and Cancer Stem Cells:  Curcumin Has Asymmetrical Effects on Cancer and Normal Stem Cells,” the study describes the wide range of molecular mechanisms presently identified by which curcumin attacks cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are the minority subpopulation of self-renewing cells within a tumor colony. These cells  are capable of producing all the other cells within a tumor, making them the most lethal, tumoriogenic of all cells within most, if not all, cancers.

Because CSCs are resistant to chemotherapy, radiation, and may even be provoked towards increased invasiveness with surgery, they are widely believed to be responsible for tumor recurrence and the dismal failure of conventional treatment.

The study identified the following 8 molecular mechanisms by which curcumin targets and kills cancer stem cells:

  • Down-regulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6): IL-6 is classified as a cytokine (a potent biomolecule released by the immune system) and modulates both immunity and inflammation. It’s over expression has been linked to the progression from inflammation to cancer. Curcumin inhibits IL-6 release, which in turn prevents CSC stimulation.
  • Down-regulation of interleukin-8 (IL-8): IL-8, another cytokine, is released after tumor cell death, subsequently stimulating CSCs to regrow the tumor and resist chemotherapy. Curcumin both inhibits IL-8 production directly and indirectly.
  • Down-regulation of interleukin-1 (IL-1): IL-1, a family of cytokines, are involved in response to injury and infection, with IL-1 ? playing a key role in cancer cell growth and the stimulation of CSCs. Curcumin inhibits IL-1 both directly and indirectly.
  • Decrease CXCR1 and CXCR2 binding: CXCR1 and CXCR2 are proteins expressed on cells, including CSCs, which respond to the aforementioned cytokines in a deleterious manner. Curcumin has been found to not only block cytokine release, but their binding to these two cellular targets.
  • Modulation of the Wnt signaling pathway: The Wnt signaling pathway regulates a wide range of processes during embryonic development, but are also dsyregulated in cancer. Curcumin has been found to have a corrective action on Wnt signaling.
  • Modulation of the Notch Pathway: The Notch signaling pathway, also involved in embryogenesis, plays a key role in regulating cell differentiation, proliferation and programmed cell death (apoptosis), as well as the functioning of normal stem cells. Aberrant Notch signaling has been implicated in a wide range of cancers. Curcumin has been found to suppress tumor cells along the Notch pathway.
  • Modulation of the Hedgehog Pathways: Another pathway involved in embryogenesis, the Hedgehog pathway also regulates normal stem cell activity. Abnormal functioning of this pathway is implicated in a wide range of cancers and in the stimulation of CSCs and associated increases in tumor recurrence after conventional treatment. Curcumin has been found to inhibit the Hedgehog pathway through a number of different mechanisms.
  • Modulation of the FAK/AKT/FOXo3A Pathway: This pathway plays a key role in regulating normal stem cells, with aberrant signaling stimulating CSCs, resulting once again in tumor recurrence and resistance to chemotherapy. Curcumin has been found in multiple studies to destroy CSCs through inhibiting this pathway.

As you can see through these eight actions, curcumin exhibits a rather profound level of complexity, modulating numerous molecular pathways simultaneously.

Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy is incapable of such delicate and “intelligent” behavior, as it preferentially targets fast-replicating cells by damaging their DNA , regardless of whether they are benign, healthy or cancerous cells. This includes fast replicating cells such as the stomach lining which are essential for us to digest food to gain nutrition for healing!  Curcumin’s selective cytotoxicity targets the cancer stem cells.

Curcumin and Normal Stem Cells

Normal stem cells (NSCs) are essential for health because they are responsible for differentiating into normal cells that are needed to replace damaged or sick ones. If curcumin were to kill normal cells, like radiation and chemotherapy, it would not provide a compelling alternative to these treatments.  The study addressed this point:

“The safety of curcumin has been long established, as it has been used for centuries as a dietary spice. The question arises as to why curcumin does not seem to have the same deleterious effects on normal stem cells (NSCs) as it does on CSCs. There are several possible reasons that curcumin has toxic effects on CSCs, while sparing NSCs.”
The study offered three potential explanations for curcumin’s differential or selective cytotoxicity:
  • Malignant cells take in much more curcumin than normal cells. This is similar to properties of Paw Paw Cell Reg  (Asimina triloba), as explained in Benoit’s book, “The Paw Paw Program“.
  • Curcumin alters the microenvironment of cells in such a way that is adverse to CSCs and beneficial to NSCs.
  • Curcumin may not only directly attack CSCs, but may encourage them to differentiate into non-lethal, more benign cells.

Concluding Remarks

This study adds growing support to the idea that safe, time-tested, natural substances are superior to synthetic ones. Given the evidence that a safe and effective alternative may already exist, chemotherapy, radiation and even surgery may no longer be justified as the first-line standard of care for cancer treatment.

In fact, a significant body of evidence now implicates these treatments in worsening prognosis, and in some cases driving cancer stem cell enrichment in tumors.

Radiotherapy, for instance, has been found to induce cancer stem cell-like properties in breast cancer cells, essentially increasing their malignancy and tumoriogenicity by 30 fold.  This is hardly progress when one considers the role that CSCs play, especially in contributing to post-treatment secondary cancers.

Turmeric and its components are not FDA approved drugs, and by definition the FDA will not allow an unapproved substance, natural or synthetic, to prevent, treat, diagnosis or cure a disease.  This means that you will not be seeing it offered by an oncologist as an alternative to chemotherapy or radiation any time soon.  This does not, however, mean that it does not work.

There are  over 1500 citations from the National Library of Medicine’s database MEDLINE on Turmeric Research, showing that curcumin and related turmeric components possess significant anti-cancer activity.

Crisis Management: Healing Crisis or Disease?

Cold & Flu Tips, COVID-19, Healthy Solutions, , , , ,

Updated Jan 3, 2022 as this relates to any flu , cold, or other virus or bacterial infection currently going around.

As much as I teach prevention, let’s be realistic – there are times when people get sick, whether it is a disease crisis or a healing crisis. In this article, I will only briefly explain the differences:

  • A healing crisis may develop when one has shifted to a healthier lifestyle and has been feeling stronger and more energetic, then wham! One is hit suddenly with a cold, flu, diarrhea, fever or other kind of elimination. The body, as it gains energy, has started to houseclean. Properly managed, one can often get through a healing crisis within 24 hours.
  • A disease crisis is caused by a toxic overload and the body eventually has had enough, throws in the towel, and can’t take it anymore. This may present as a gradual decline in energy and “feeling something coming on”. This also should be able to pass very quickly, again, if properly managed.

Here are my recommendations for the basic management of both healing and disease crisis. For more detail, or if you do not feel improvement within 2 days of following these recommendations, consult with our office or another competent natural health practitioner.

1. Stop eating, working and pretending you can still do it all. The ads that state, “no cold is going to stop me – I take so and so drug, and keep right on going” is poor advice.

Your body is on overload – give it a break! LISTEN!

Eating requires energy for digestion and this energy could be better spent on cleaning your house (i.e. body), and getting rid of the accumulated toxins that have precipitated your crisis. You do not need food when you are sick – look at animals’ natural instincts. When your symptoms have improved and ONLY IF you feel hungry, eat only fruit or salad or raw vegetables, well chewed – easy to digest and nutritious.

Then proceed to other vegetables and light soups. Definitely nothing with flour, dairy, or animal protein until you are back to normal.

You need more rest – take it! Fresh air while sleeping will help oxygenate you.

2. Drink lots of clear fluids. My favourite is chlorophyll, which is an alkalizing alfalfa concentrate, full of vitamins and minerals. The one I prefer is flavoured with pleasant natural spearmint oil and can be consumed in copious quantities in cold or warm water, depending on what feels better to you. I use Nature’s Sunshine Chlorophyll, for its quality, price and taste! Contact our office to get it for you; contacts at end of article.

Other healthful beverages are: good quality herb teas, lemon or lime in water (if you MUST have it sweetened, try a bit of stevia, xylitol, agave or maple syrup), or organic juice mixed at least half and half with pure non-chlorinated, non-fluoridated water. See more herbal tea suggestions in #3.

3. Feed a fever: To speed up the cleaning process, there is nothing better than a mild fever. It’s like lighting a fire to burn the accumulated garbage, except this fire does not increase carbon emissions. If you do have a fever, great – your body is doing what it should. Just keep it controlled with plenty of fluids and rest. If fever gets too high, a tepid water bath can cool things off without stopping the healing benefits of the fever.

In critical situations, a tepid enema is the most effective way to bring a high fever down. Taking drugs to stop a fever defeat the body’s attempts at healing.

If you don’t have a fever, create one. Hydrotherapy is an effective way to do this. Drink several cups of hot herbal tea with any of the following stimulating herbs, which will help produce sweating: yarrow, mint, garlic, ginger or Capsicum (medicinal grade cayenne pepper). Take this before and while soaking in a hot bath and sweat it out.

The addition of any of the following to the bath will help the process along: epsom salts, regular salt, or therapeutic quality essential oils (EOs). These will aid the process and offer additional relief for many symptoms. Some of my favourites are: Lavender, Tea Tree, Wild Oregano, Eucalyptus, and Pine, which we keep in stock.  I will choose based on the condition – I keep them ALL on hand for many uses. The EOs should be mixed first with salt, epsom salts, or a biodegradable cleanser to aid dispersion in the bath water.   Essential Shield Cleaner already includes 11 authentic essential oils.  Do not overdo the hot bath to the point of exhaustion or dizziness.

After a soak of at least 20 minutes, take a cold shower or cold rinse (start with warm, then gradually go colder).  Then immediately, do not pass GO, dry off, get into cotton pyjamas or between cotton sheets, go to bed and put on lots of covers. You should sleep like a baby, sweat lots, and wake up feeling much better. It is beneficial to rinse off and get into clean clothes when you wake. This process can be repeated daily until you feel better.

If you do not feel up to a hot bath, as the very least, massage the achy, breaky parts of your body with Tei Fu Massage Lotion. For congestion, take a few drops of Tei Fu Oil internally. If you don’t have the Massage lotion, you can add the Tei Fu Oil to coconut or olive oil  for massage.

4. Take anti-viral herbs, and enough of them to make a difference. Viruses cause colds and flus. Viruses do not respond to antibiotics. Anti viral herbs also speed healing for bacterial infections. The formula with which I have the most consistent results over the last 20+ years of practice is a Chinese formula called HRP-C (CA) or VS-C (for ViruS US) . It helps detoxify the liver and support the immune system, so the whole body can cope in times of stress, which is exactly what a crisis is.

Other herbs and Chinese formulas can be added for particular challenges, but this general one helps most people heal faster. Always take full or double dose at the start of an illness – get the plane off the runway, or it won’t get to cruising altitude. Once you are feeling better, gradually decrease dosage.

Blending the latest technology with ancient history, we now have nano-particle Silver Shield SOL in both liquid and Gel forms. These products have been a godsend for all infections and inflammations. Almost ALL known microbes can be destroyed by this product within 6 minutes of contact. We are talking: H1N1, Malaria, Strep, Staph, E Coli, the list is endless. These silver products are approved in both the US (FDA, EPA) and Canada (HPB). Please contact the office for research on these products, dosage and to order.

If you follow these basic 1,2,3, 4s of crisis management, you should recover in a fraction of the time of those who carry on as if they weren’t sick. Ignoring what the body is telling you can cause the cold or flu to drag on for weeks. If these suggestions are not causing improvement within 3-4 days, consult a natural health care practitioner.
