NON-SCENTED TOXIC FREE

While i'm on the subjec of toxic mold indoors, I wanted to share a new site i found thanks to an article in wholife magazine a few weeks ago. The site is called nonscentedtoxicfree.com and it is just filled with amazing information on toxins we find ourselves exposed to an a daily basis yet have no clue!

There's even products you can order, and they cover everything, all the way down to clothing detergents, fabric softners, soaps, and anti-static sheets. My the amount of phosphates, aluminium, lead, cadmium, chlorine and plastics we're exposed to and a daily basis just floored me...i felt disgusted with myself after learning what the choices i was making were doing to my body.

I now feel very empowered and have a greater awareness of what's around me since reading the information on this website. Please pay a visit to nonscentedtoxicfree.com today!

Greetings everyone,

I'd like to apologize for not posting until now. On the day of my last post, I spent the evening at my partner's cousin's house, babysitting their two young children. For the 1st time in months i felt fantastic, my stamina knew no end! then about 1 hr after getting home i felt horrible again. This is when my partner and i began to suspect something in our apartment could have been at the root of all my health problems these past couple of years.

The next day i went on a little treasure hunt around the apartment and my god what did i find in our spare bedroom (which we never used and kept closed most of the time)? Black mold spores everywhere on the walls, the baseboards, along the wood of the windows and inside the closet. Take a look at these pictures...

Completely disgusted, I emailed my landlord the pictures. The very next day he called asking if he could come over and see it for himself. He told us that we should leave immediately. Then had an inspector in the next day, this inspector said we could stay in the unti while there is black mold. That his crew will begin tearing down the walls and be running an air purifying machine while they work. I've watched Mike Holmes of Holmes on Homes and the fact this inspector/contractor said that SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!

So then, our landlord agreed to not charge us rent for Dec if we had to stay there all month since finding a place and moving out by Dec 1st when it was Dec 26th was almost impossible.

But I can now tell you that the law of attraction really does work. After calling dozens of places with no callbacks, and being told by everyone to get rid of my 3 cats because nobody rents to pet owners anymore. I got fed up, and in despair closed my eyes and literally yelled commands to the universe to give me an apt that is representative of us, had brand new windows (always had ventilation problems prior), good quality security system, a pantry to stock up on food (we love to cook at home and always had problems with storage), and built-in a/c system so we don't sweat to death in the summers. Well, as I was doing this, my partner had a gut feeling to check the online rental listings once again, and found this one that had just gone up. The superintendant couldn't show the place until the weekend, when we explained that was too late for us, he offered to show it to us later that night.

To our amazement, it was in a small building that had a new security door system installed recently, all suites had new windows and carpet installed the month before, it had built-in a/c in all units, adn the super loved cats, he had 2 himself!!!! and this apartment was in a building with no children, only young professionals, it's located 3 blocks away from my partner's work downtown, and 2 houses up from the city's top sushi restaurant, and 1 block up from 2 large drugstores, and an organic grocery store and vitamin shop. Now for the best part, it's $50/mnth cheaper than our old place!

So we called the super back that night and he told us it's ours if we wanted it. He didn't even have our last names yet, and gave us the keys! So I've been busy throwing out old clutter and evacuating the mold infested basement apartment. Good thing too, because we found a dead mouse in the mold infested room too!

Now that i'm nicely settled into my new place and after 8 days without internet, finally have all my utilities installed. I'm feeling better than ever!

Don't underestimate the power of a few little black mold spores on a window sill. If I would of known, i would of saved myself lots of problems a long time ago. Immediately after being out of that place, i had enough energy to do housework and go walk outside. This whole time thinking it wat my thyroid and weight that disabled me. Now i know that our homes can be killing us slowly and most of us don't even know it!

Liver Flushing 101 - The Flush (congenital diseases? yes! you can flush too!)

Now that you have all your 'ingredients', you're ready to do the actual flush. Unlike most other cleanses you hear people doing, the goal of this cleanse is not weight loss! This cleanse will not weaken you or tire you out like other 'fasting' and 'colon' based cleanses. The main purpose of this cleanse is healing. People have healed many 'incurable diseases' just by flushing the accumulated junk it their livers and gallbladders. When people ask me why they should flush their livers I hear a lot of fear in their voices. I tell them it's the exact same principle as doing an engine flush on your car. The oil accumulates residue (stagnant bile), sludge (crystalized cholesterol), if you leave it in there too long it will develop into grit (gallstones). The pistons won't move as effortlessly as they used to (begin having aches/pains/headaches/food intolerances you never had before). If this keeps up over many years, the engine starts breaking down (disease) and you'll end up having to replace parts (surgeries). See the connection here? Good! Let's begin
************************************************************
YOU MUST HAVE BEEN TAKING YOUR GOLD COIN GRASS (1tbsp or 10x3g tablets am) FOR AT LEAST 6 DAYS BEFORE DOING THE FOLLOWING

Flush day schedule

WARNING: YOU ARE NOT TO CONSUME ANY REFINED SUGAR, BUTTER, FATS, OILS, NUTS, CHEESE, DAIRY OR PROTEIN DURING THIS DAY - AND NO VITAMINS, HERBS, MEDICATIONS OR SUPPLEMENTS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY (like your hydrocortisone, prednisone, decadron, pariet, neurontin, celebrex, etc...).

REASON WHY? YOUR LIVER WILL BE TAKING ON A LOT LATER TODAY SO IT'S NOT ADVISABLE TO GIVE IT ITEMS THAT ARE HARD TO DIGEST BEFORE HAND - THAT'S ALL.

Morning: Eat a light sugar/fat/protein free breakfast. This may be hard if you are hypoglycemic like me or diabetic. But don't worry I've found a way to do this flush without blood sugar crashes. Best meal to eat is oatmeal! Have a nice big bowl of steelcut oats, multigrain oats, cream of wheat, or 7 grain hot cereal. This will give you the low GI you're looking for.

Snack: You may eat fruit, I recommend bananas because the high potassium will assist you with dehydration once the stones come out. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE CAH, ADDISON'S OR CUSHING'S OR ARE ON STEROID BASED ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS AS THERE ROB YOUR BODY OF POTASSIUM.

Lunch: Eat oatmeal again or brown rice with brocoli with soy sauce. You can steam a large amount of vegetables or make a huge organic mixed greens salad with fat free dressing. Or do all of the above. Many will advise against over eating at this meal but I've found it doesn't matter.

*Note: I sometimes add vegetable protein (roasted tofu cubes, Edamame, kidney beans, refried beans) to my lunch to regulate my blood sugar. Listen to your body, if you're feeling a little light headed, eat some protein with your lunch, you'll feel much better the rest of the day. I have never had problems with the outcome of my flushes from eating protein during my flush. I've never eaten animal protein though, remember - EASY AND FAST TO DIGEST!

Snack: more raw veggies with lemon pepper spice or lemon juice/salt, a baked potato with fat free dressing, more oatmeal. Or eat nothing if you're feeling ok - it's up to you!

**** This (1-2pm) is where most liver flush regimens will advise you to start fasting but having hypoglycemia due to a congenital adrenal condition, going for 36hrs without food or juice isn't possible. But it is ok to eat something solid after 1pm. I've done it at every flush and was fine, never went to the hospital with blocked bile ducts, adrenal crisis, vomitting or dehydration - NEVER! But I will recommend you try as best you can to not eat anything solid, like my gastroenterologist said to me: only clear fluids, if you can hold it up and see through it you can drink it! What is a clear fluid high in potassium and will maintain your glucose levels? hmmm.... and the winner is: APPLE JUICE! yes, I purchase 3 tetra packs of apple juice at every flush. I sip on apple juice throughout the day after 1pm. Sometimes it sustains me other times it doesn't. That's when i'll have a bowl of rice with almond milk heated in the microwave with a dap of honey and cinnamon. it's delicious!

6:00pm sharp: prepare 3 cups of spring or distilled water in a jug. Add 4 heaping tablespoons of the epsom salts. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vitamin C powder, and a couple of squirts of lemon juice. Stir until all the salts are dissolved. Take a straw and drink 3/4 cup of the mixture now. Try not to take more than 5 mins to drink it. Do not drink any juice or water for 20 mins afterward. Go back to your normal activities. You may drink water and/or juices freely. You will find that the epsom salts will make you feel bloated and full. You won't want to eat much starting here.

8:00pm sharp: With a straw, drink another 3/4 cup of the mixture. Try not to take more than 5 mins to drink it. Do not drink any juice or water for 20 mins afterward. Go back to your activities.

9:30 pm sharp: Pour 2-4 cups of spring or distilled water into the enema bag. Lie down on your right side. Place the enema bag at least 3 feet above ground (4ft if you want more momentum) and release the clip to let the water flow. Stop when you feel "full", massage your belly, release the water again, and again, and again, until you really really feel "full". Stay still in the fetal position for at least 2-10 mins. Then go to the bathroom.

9:50pm: pour 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil in a measuring cup. In another measuring cup or shaker jar. Pour 1/4 cup of lemon juice then add 2/4 cup of orange juice. You now have 3/4 cup of your acidic mixture. Pour the 1/2 cup of olive oil into it. Put the lid on it, and shake vigorously for at least 2 mins.

10:00pm sharp: Stand up beside your bed, set your alarm for 6am, take a gravol (to fall asleep and control the nausea during the night), PEOPLE WITH CAH, ADDISON'S OR CUSHING'S - YOU MAY TAKE AN EXTRA 50-100MG HYDROCORTISONE (OR 1MG DECADRON) TO HANDLE THE STRESS YOUR BODY WILL BE UNDER DURING THE NIGHT, have some honey (chaser in case you gag - i never needed it) available. Place a straw in the cup and take slow steady sips of the mixture until it's gone. It shouldn't taste bad, but may burn the back of your throat like strong lemonade - this is normal! Do not take more than 15mins.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT SPEAK! Lay down on the bed and turn on your right side (fetal position) DO NOT SPEAK! stay still for a minimum of 30mins. The gravol should kick in and you'll fall asleep anyway. You can also put some headphones on and listen to meditation music like Stephen Halpern's Chakra Suite.

*Note: You may wake up in the middle of the night with nausea, discomfort, headache, and body pains. This is from the release of toxins from the liver. You can drink as much water or juice as you'd like. Remember: You just took epsom salts to dilate your bile ducts (prep), then forced your liver to 'sneeze' by ingesting a large amount of fat in a short period of time forcing it to dump huge amounts of bile into your intestinal tract. Taking whatever obstacles (stones) in its path down with it.

6:00 am sharp: Drink another 3/4 cup of the epsom salt mixture. Return to bed or stay up it's up to you. Don't forget to set your alarm for 8:00am if you go back to bed!

8:00 am sharp: Drink your 4th and last 3/4 cup dose of the epsom salt mixture. Please don't skip the 3rd and 4th doses, you will regret it. You must keep those bile ducts dilated so no stones get stuck.

*Note: You will now begin a series of bowel movements. This is the flush in action!

Things you may see come on during your movements:

• white foam (this is chaffing or cholesterol crystals)
• tiny green stones (cholesterol stones)
• white or black stones (calcified calcium stones)
• reddish green water (stagnant bile)

Contrary to what people may say to you...These really are from your liver and not things stuck in your colon!

You may set a plastic bag or paper towel on the vanity counter and with a tea strainer, strain out the stones and take a picture. I know someone who was so shocked that he had a 2" black calcified stone pass painlessly. He had it cased and now shows it to his patients (yes he's doctor).

9:00 - 9:30 am: Begin eating light foods, you can even take your vitamins, minerals, and supplements. Listen to your body. Don't over do it.

*Note: it is extremely important to stay hydrated because you will be having at least 6-12 very watery bowel movements in less than a day! IMPORTANT: PEOPLE WITH CUSHING'S ADDISON'S OR CAH YOU MUST TAKE AT LEAST 100MG HYDROCORTISONE (OR 1MG DECADRON) ON TOP OF YOUR MORNING DOSE - THEN SEE IF YOU NEED MORE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.

HAVE SOUPS AS THEY ARE HIGH IN SODIUM, EAT BANANAS AS THEY ARE HIGH IN POTASSIUM. These are my favourite natural replacements for saline IVs:

• V8 Vegetable cocktail: with 300mg potassium and 400 mg sodium per serving it's better and hospital saline or gatorade.
• Gatorade: perfect mix of sodium, potassium, and glucose. All things lost during dehydration.
• miso soup w/nori: trace minerals in seaweed paired with high sodium, potassium and probiotics to replenish intestinal flora.
• Rice with soya sauce: again high in carbs and sodium. Perfect meal to keep you from dehydrating.

Symptoms you may feel throughout the day:

• Nausea: Don't worry it will slowly dissapear - by 3pm you should feel better
• Migraine/Splitting Headache: This is from the extreme release of toxins (like a cloud of stagnant dust from an air filter) passing through your system. You may take an Advil (no Tylenol) if it's too much
• Fever: if you have an adrenal condition take more hydrocortisone and an Advil!
• Chills: same as above

Keep drinking and eating and take at least 6-8 acidophilus tablets throughout the day. This will help replenish your intestinal flora lost during the flush. Making sure you don't get a Candida infection.

Next day: Eat light still, give yourself another enema to clean out any residue of the flush. This is very important. If stones get stuck in your feces and stay in your system, you will get very ill due to the toxins in your blood. So please do the 2nd enema.

THAT'S IT YOU SURVIVED YOUR 1ST LIVER FLUSH - EASIER THAN YOU THOUGHT WASN'T IT?

Liver Flushing 101 - The Prep

If you Google "liver flushing" you'll find a crazy confusing mess of ways that claim to be the best. Leaving you to experiment with your body, sometimes making things worse than they were before. There are only two ways I approve of when it comes to liver flushing: Dr. Hulda Clark and Andreas Moritz's methods. My personal favourite is Andreas Moritz's way, but even then I've modified it slightly to accommodate my body's needs. So without further due here's my own recipe to successfully get rid of liver and gallbladder stones without ending up getting an ERCP in the Intensive Care Unit.
********************************************************************
Ingredients

Stone Softeners

Gold Coin Grass: 1tablespoon (or 6 tablets) in the morning 30mins before breakfast for 6 days (Ex: Sat-Fri). Do not miss a day! Do not skip this stone softening preparation or else you will feel pain! This is what makes the stones soft so they slide down without getting stuck. I believe 90% of the flush's success depends on this part. +Gold coin Grass is the strongest stone breaker there is, much stronger than the traditional Malic Acid tablets. You can buy Gold Coin Grass online from sensiblehealth.com or you can get it in pill form from your local Chinese medicinal herbs shop. *Note: If you really can't find GOLD Coin Grass or order it online. You must do your preparation with Malic Acid Tablets.



Malic Acid+Magnesium Tablets (must have minimum 1,200mg malic acid per tablet!): Take 2 tablets in the morning 30mins before breakfast then take 2 tablets before bed. Do this everyday for 6 days (Ex: Sat-Fri). Just like with Gold coin Grass, Do not miss a day! Do not skip this stone softening preparation or else you will feel pain!

DO NOT MIX GCG WITH MALIC ACID!
TAKE ONE OR THE OTHER NOT BOTH!!!

Bile Duct Dilators

4 tablespoons EPSOM SALTS (Magnesium Sulfate) mixed in 3 8oz glasses (3 cups) of filtered or spring water - Not the foot bath stuff but the laxative stuff. If you are allergic to Epsom Salts or the taste is too hard to handle and it makes you gag. You can use CITRO-MAG.




4 tablespoons CITRO-MAG (Magnesium Citrate) mixed in 3 8oz glasses (3 cups) of filtered or spring water: It's the stuff you drink before a colonoscopy.
You may find that if you don't have a gallbladder (like me) Citro-Mag won't be strong enough to open those small liver ducts. You will have to use Epsom Salts which is why ++I've found a way to improve the taste without dulling its effects.

DO NOT MIX EPSOM SALTS WITH CITRO-MAG!

TAKE ONE OR THE OTHER NOT BOTH!!!

Liver Bile Stimulators
4oz (1/2 cup) extra virgin olive oil: Don't use any other kind EVER!

6oz (3/4 cup) orange juice/lemon juice mixture: they don't have to be fresh squeezed and the ratio of one to the other is up to you. I found the more lemon juice there is, the more it burns my throat, but don't remove the lemon juice completely. What I found works best is 2/4 cup orange juice to 1/4 cup lemon juice. You can also use pink grapefruit juice instead of orange, but most people gag at the taste combination.

Containers
2 pint jars with a lid: one for your epsom salt/water mixture and one for your olive oil/juice mixture.

Colon Cleaner
Home Enema Kit: Not the disposal enemas, this is a water bottle with a plastic tube+stopper. It is used to clear your colon before and after the liver flush. Only distilled, mineral or spring water can be used. DO NOT USE TAP WATER - the chlorine, lead, aluminum, etc... will damage your colon wall. Do not skip this step as your body may become toxic if stones get lodged in your feces.
********************************************************************
+Warning: You may get a fever, chills, nausea, lower back pains, ear aches, headaches, migraines or muscles aches while taking the Gold Coin Grass. This is because the herb is breaking down the stones and some small ones may end up passing on their own. This releases large amounts of compacted toxins from your liver causing and immune response on your body. If you suffer from an adrenal insufficiency disorder take 400-600mg of Advil and 100-200mg of hydrocortisone (1-2mg Decadron) immediately! This will keep your body from going into adrenal crisis or shock. You may also take 50mg of Gravol if the nausea is too strong. Gold Coin Grass and/or Malic Acid may hinder the effectiveness of certain medications especially anti-depressants. People taking anti-depressants may suffer from withdrawal symptoms in addition to the above detoxification symptoms.

++ Add 1tablespoon of Vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid), 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 few drops of stevia or xylitol to the 3 cups of water/epsom salt mixture.

Liver Flushing - I saw the stones, now a believer!

I know many of you think the cleansing ritual known as "liver/gallbladder flushing" is a load of B******T and that you also believe it's physically impossible for the liver to hold stones. All my life I believed the same thing, I was afraid of these crazy cleansing rituals I'd hear about - like liver flushing. My answer to everything was: "No I can't do things like that, I have an adrenal insufficiency, it could kill me."

"If your liver had stones in it, it would rip, bleed and you'd die. Besides you shouldn't be putting your body through crazy things like that, you have an adrenal insufficiency, you could die!" That's what one of my doctors, his office nurse and the chelation clinic nurses both told me when I told them of my plan to try liver flushing. Imagine how comforted I was to hear those words from supposedly "highly trained medical professionals". But I gave it a go anyways. Of course, having an adrenal insufficiency, I had to go about it differently than most.

I'm happy to report that I've now successfully done 5 liver flushes, and preparing for my 6th as we speak (I'll explain what that means later). I'm now a strong believer in liver flushing for getting rid of countless medical problems and regaining a state of mega health.

It took me 4 flushes before stones started coming out. I had my gallbladder removed so I actually began to think I really didn't have any stones in my liver (like the nurse had said). Because i was putting myself through discomfort with no results. I had even stopped for 4 months because I didn't think it was doing anything, until the 5th flush. I must have passed over 600 stones that day. YES, 600, it's no joke. I have the pictures to prove it!

As a matter of fact, why not show you? Don't worry it's not that gross folks. Here's a picture
of stones passed on my 1st ever liver flush in march 2007.

This was collected after one movement. I had about 5 others that day, none of which had any stones. Notice the size of the stones? It was like I had dead ants in the toilet!

There there were the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th liver flushes. All of which gave nothing, zilch! I took a 4 month break during summer. Then tried to do it a 5th time. This is what I collected during one movement. I had over 7 that day, all full of stones. Check this out...

I ever put a penny near them to show you the size of them. This was in my liver people! Imagine how swollen and congested my liver ducts must of been? And don't tell me those are nothing but oil beads from the hardened olive oil you drink during a liver flush either!

Now that you've seen the kind of results you can get through liver flushing, let's talk about how to get there ...
