About Female Hormone Imbalance
The purpose of this naturopathic protocol is to educate you in the role of nutrients on the endocrine/reproductive system, which includes female hormone balance. The supplements that I carry are among the highest quality on the market. They are natural, food-based, efficiently absorbed and, in general, do not have to be gradually introduced the body. But it depends entirely on the reaction on your body. Everyone will not have the same tolerance to taking everything at once, but I cannot assist you in that decision. You will have to be the one to make the final choice about what you feel your body needs most, what you can financially afford and how you can organize your daily schedule in order to consistently take the supplements.
Hormonal balance for women is necessary for every area of health, but typically after age 25, female hormones [estrogen and progesterone] start to become imbalanced, and the imbalance continues relentlessly through perimenopause and throughout menopause. Naturopathic Medicine believes that female hormonal imbalance, regardless of severity, is most likely a result of nutritional imbalances as well as an accumulation of toxic substances resulting from the cumulative effects of high intake of refined foods, fake foods, processed foods, including processed white sugar products, artificial sweeteners, white flour products, packaged foods, food preservatives, food color and dye additives, and foods grown with pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics and hormones. In addition to other toxic chemicals, these substances all contain xenoestrogens [also known as 16-hydroxy estrogen], which are fake estrogens that are able to enter your estrogen-receptor tissues and form cysts. In other words, xenoestrogens are toxins that masquerade as female hormones. Xenohormones are found everywhere in the environment. You can absorb them through contact with plastics, car exhaust, industrial wastes, carpeting and a host of other sources.
Excess estrogen, in particular, is a factor in hormonal cancers for men and women, which include cancer of the uterus, ovaries, cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes for women; and cancer of the breast and prostate in men. The most recent research is finding that only about 15% of breast cancers are genetically prompted. The other 85% are caused by estrogen dominance. The other reason for estrogen dominance in women is that progesterone levels typically decline before menopause starts and this is followed by a decline in estrogen. Progesterone production tends to fall to almost zero while estrogen declines to about 40% to 50%. This situation leads to an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone causing an increase in estrogen activity.
Excess estrogen circulates because the liver is overwhelmed trying to break it down. This excess is toxic and it is constantly looking for estrogen receptors to make a home. The receptors are the female organs: the breasts, cervix, ovaries, vagina, fallopian tubes and uterus. When it finds a receptor, it lodges itself as a cyst, either benign or malignant. Estrogen dominance results from elevated estrogen activity due to overproduction of unfavorable estrogen metabolites. A shifted balance to unfavorable metabolites contributes to many clinical problems in women and men.
Naturopathic Medicine believes in nutritionally supporting hormone levels by nourishing the female endocrine system and reproductive organs with nutrients that facilitate a healthy hormone balance and healing on a cellular level. The natural supplements that I suggest achieve their balancing effect by nourishing the reproductive organs, unlike pure hormones, which only provide hormonal supplementation. On the other hand, Conventional Medicine supports synthetic hormones and hysterectomies. Synthetic hormones are dangerous and are documented to cause cancer. These include birth control and/or hormone replacement pills, patches, injections, etc. statistics show that doctors perform 650,000 hysterectomies each year-- and only about 10% of them are done because of cancer or other life-threatening reasons! This surgery can throw off your hormonal balance for years.
The fact that estrogen metabolism can be modified by dietary factors is important to understand, as this understanding offers new opportunities for nutritional intervention in many conditions. When the nutritional and the acid-alkaline imbalances are corrected, and the body is adequately detoxified, any adverse symptoms begin to remedy themselves while restoring normal organ function.
For female hormone balance, I strongly suggest the following:
There is a lot of info to take in, so please read this page thoroughly and in its entirety, along with the noted webpage links.
First of all, it is critical to understand that it is absolutely necessary to begin with certain basic nutritional supplements which provide specific nutrients that are deemed very necessary for health restoration as well as health maintenance of all health disorders, including female hormonal imbalance.
- [Missed Period or No Menstruation]
- Thromboembolic phenomena [blood clotting]
- Breast tenderness [galactorrhea]
- Change in weight (increase or decrease)
- Changes in cervical erosion and cervical secretions
- Changes in libido [sex drive]
- Dark Skin Patches On Neck, Groin, Underarms
- Excess Facial and Body Hair
- Excess Hair on Chest, Stomach,
- Fibrocystic Breast Disease [Breast Cyst]
- Heavy Period Or Frequent Periods
- Hysterectomy [Surgical Menopause Symptoms]
Symptoms of Female Hormone Imbalance
- Irregular Menstrual Cycle
- Irregular or Rapid Heartbeat
- Menstrual Cycle Imbalance
- Menstrual Cycle Too Long or Short
- Osteoporosis [Reduced Bone Density]
- Ovary And Uterine Disorders
- Physical And Emotional Tension
- PMS Symptoms [premenstrual syndrome]
- Scanty Flow During Menstrual Cycle
- Skin Tags, Especially In Armpits Or Neck Area
- Somnolence [excessive sleeping]
- Swollen And Tender Breasts
- Vaginal Dryness or Itching
Herbal Balance #876...Unlike pure hormones, which only provide hormonal supplementation, the herbs in this Herbal Balance formula achieve their balancing effect by nourishing the reproductive organs. It is used whether you are still having menstrual periods or not; use to help prevent bone density loss in [osteoporosis]: Symptoms include bone shortening, thinning and gradual loss of height. Excellent nutritional support in lieu of synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Click here to purchase or for more details
Natural Progesterone Body Cream is used to balance the estrogen-progesterone ratio. Research studies suggest that as progesterone levels are being balanced, fibroid tumors decrease in size. An adequate level of progesterone in the body has protective value against osteoporosis [bone shortening, thinning and gradual loss of height], uterine cancer and possibly breast cancer, according to research. Excellent nutritional support in lieu of synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Click here to purchase or for more details
Mix 1 tsp with 1-3 teaspoons of organic raw undistilled apple cider vinegar. Spectrum and Bragg are good brands. Take it 3 times daily before meals. For uterine fibroid tumors or fibrocystic breasts, I strongly suggest that you add this Garlic Kyolic Organic Liquid. To order this Nutritional Supplement: Call 800 527-9512 and place order with account number 2727P. Click here to purchase or for more details
To order this nutritional supplement, call 800 527-9512, and place order with account number 2727P.
Fibroid tumors and/or endometriosis are often the cause for severe menstrual pain. Castor oil packs are commonly used to help shrink fibroid tumors, as well as to reduce the inflammation that may cause pain. I suggest that you apply castor oil [purchase the cold-pressed oil from a health food store] to your abdomen [and cover with a heating pad] for 30-60 minutes 1-2 times daily when not on period. Or you may soak a natural fiber cloth in Castor Oil, applying directly on the skin at area of concern, cover with plastic and use a heat source like a heating pad or hot water bottle. Leave on for 30 to 60 minutes.
To order this Nutritional Supplement, call 800 527-9512 and place order with account number 2727P.
For women with Non-Specificic Vaginitis Or Bacterial Vaginosis, I suggest the HERBAL VAGINAL suppositories located here
Also for women with Non-Specificic Vaginitis Or Bacterial Vaginosis, I strongly suggest both the Oil Of Oregano P73 Physician's Strength and the Colloidal Silver 500ppm. They are both potent antimicrobials [anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic]. First drink the Colloidal Silver, and follow immediately with the Oregano Oil.
Regarding the Colloidal Silver 500ppm, Naturopathic Medicine regards Cancer as a viral and fungal [candida septicemia] process. Microorganisms depend on a specific enzyme to breathe. Colloidal Silver is a catalyst that disables these enzymes, and as a result they die. To this day, there has been no recorded case of adverse effects from Colloidal Silver when it is properly prepared. There also has been no recorded case of drug interaction with any other medication. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, Colloidal Silver leaves the tissue-cell enzymes intact. The dose and effectiveness of Colloidal Silver depend strictly on the quality and ppm strength of it. This particular brand is the strongest potency and highest quality on the market. The colloidal silver may be taken with or without food [1/2 tsp in 8-10 ounces water 3-5 times daily; spacing every 4 hours]. In cases of severe infection, I have personally taken this dosage as often as every hour, with no harmful side effects. Increasing the frequency is the key. Water is the catalyst for Colloidal Silver. In addition to the colloidal silver added to water, it is extremely important to drink an additional 2 quarts of pure filtered water daily.

Dose: 2-3 drops under tongue, hold 20 seconds, then swallow; take 2-3 times daily
Wild Oregano P73 [polyphenol 73%] formula is the most extensively researched and the only tested oregano product on the market today. P73 formula is 3 times more concentrated than regular oil of oregano. It is often used for drug-resistant bacteria. Oregano oil has been tested against a variety of microorganisms [infections] and is found to exert a high degree of anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral and antibacterial actions. Beware of imitators! "Oreganum vulgare" is not the same as the P73 formula and has no similarities except taste. Beware also of thymol found in inferior grades. 5% or more of thymol makes it a harmful substance. Any oregano product with less than 40% carvacrol is inferior [P73 formula has 62%]. Click here to purchase or for more details
Hormonal imbalance often results in skin flare-ups: acne, itching, skin rashes, etc.
Dose: 3 drops under tongue, hold 20 seconds, then swallow; take 2-3 times daily
Also apply a few drops directly to affected areas on the skin. If it is too strong, it may be diluted with a few drops of Vitamin E oil or cold-pressed castor oil. Wild Oregano P73 [polyphenol 73%] formula is the most extensively researched and the only tested oregano product on the market today. P73 formula is 3 times more concentrated than regular oil of oregano. It is often used for drug-resistant bacteria. Oregano oil has been tested against a variety of microorganisms [infections] and is found to exert a high degree of anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral and antibacterial actions. Beware of imitators! "Oreganum vulgare" is not the same as the P73 formula and has no similarities except taste. Beware also of thymol found in inferior grades. 5% or more of thymol makes it a harmful substance. Any oregano product with less than 40% carvacrol is inferior [P73 formula has 62%].
For vaginal atrophy, I suggest The Natural Vaginal Exerciser (NVE). It is a 2-IN-1 EXERCISER that tightens and stimulates your vagina, both around the outer area and deep inside. Its natural, comfortable fit will help you gain vaginal muscle control with two simple, proven techniques.
For added protection, it is also beneficial to use a condom and diaphragm with spermicide.
Basic Essential Nutrients That Are Required
For The Health And Healing Of All Health Disorders:
Healing cannot occur without certain nutrients. The nutrients found in this highly absorbable great tasting supplement are essential for the health and healing of nerves, muscles, bones, heart, hormone balance, teeth, gums, skin, hair, nails, and immune system. This formula is a balanced combination of vitamins, minerals [at least 72 ionic seawater minerals], phytonutrients, antioxidants, electrolytes and other nutrients that are needed for good health. One of the minerals is selenium. Research indicates that 200 mcg of selenium daily reduces cancer risk by 50%. The key factor to reversing disease is maintaining a balanced acid-alkaline state in the body. Minerals are alkaline because they relax the body from tightness, tension, stiffness, spasms, twitches, tics or jerkiness as in nervousness, anxiety, anger, fear, agitation, headaches, muscle cramps, menstrual cramps, arthritis, insomnia, constipation, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, eye twitches, acne, plaque on teeth, plaque on heart and arteries due to cholesterol build-up, plaque on the brain [Alzheimer's], and an accumulation of estrogen building up inside the tissues [estrogen dominance]. The suggested adult dose is one ounce 1-2 times daily. Click here for more details or to purchase.
Although the Comprehensive Liquid Vitamin/Mineral noted above is an excellent supplement, it needs to be supplemented with extra Calcium and Magnesium, which are essential minerals for Health and healing to occur. By far, the best calcium source and the best absorbed is Calcium gluconate, which is 90% vegetable, and is the purest injectable grade. When calcium is not properly absorbed, its deposits can lodge anywhere in the body and cause numerous diseases and disorders, including heart disease, arthritis and muscle disorders. Calcium and Magnesium are necessary for protein synthesis, healing inflamed tissue, muscles, bones, joints, heart, brain, and help to prevent muscular cramps and numbness. It also helps prevent Cancer; provides energy; healthy RNA and DNA; promotes restful sleep. It fights aching joints, brittle nails, eczema, high cholesterol, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, insomnia, muscle cramps, nervousness, numbness in arms and legs, rheumatoid arthritis, rickets, tooth decay, dementia, convulsions, delusions, hyperactivity, ADD, ADHD, OCD, bi-polar disorder, hormonal and brain chemistry imbalances that result in emotional outbursts, agitation, anger, anxiety, depression, crying excessively, difficulty concentrating, short-term memory problems, poor recall, irritability, restlessness, fidgety, nervousness, excessive stress, panic attacks, and more. Many people do not realize that calcium needs other minerals and trace elements for proper absorption. Therefore, taking plain Calcium supplements could cause more harm than good in the long run. Improper Calcium absorption can lead to kidney stones or other kidney problems and Calcium deposits in the joints. Magnesium has more health benefits attributed to it than any other mineral. It is mainly found in the bones and inside the cells, where it is necessary for the metabolism of and other nutrients. Magnesium is involved in regulating the acid-alkaline balance in the body, and for proper muscle function, including the heart. Follow bottle instructions.
B-complex vitamins are essential in every aspect of healing of both physical and mental health. The suggested adult dose is one 50 mg capsule twice daily. To order this product, call 800 527-9512, and place an order for B-Complex #411 with account number 2727P. B-complex vitamins play many roles in the human body, affecting both physical and mental health, but primarily they nourish the brain and nerves, while calming the neuro-muscular system...Enhances circulation and assists in blood cell formation, which prevents certain forms of anemia, assists with carbohydrate metabolism and the production of hydrochloric acid, which is important for proper digestion and normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract...Optimizes cognitive activity, memory, learning and brain function...Preventing and reversing depression and anxiety...Has a positive effect on energy, stamina, growth, and normal appetite...Needed for muscle tone of the intestines, stomach, and heart...Acts as an antioxidant, enhancing immunity and protecting the body from cancer and the degenerative effects of aging, alcohol consumption, smoking...Aids in antibody production, cellular respiration, cell growth, alleviates eye fatigue and is important in the prevention and treatment of cataracts...Facilitates the use of oxygen by the tissues, promoting healthy skin, nails and hair...Helps the utilization and absorption of iron, fats, carbohydrates and protein...Required for proper digestion and absorption of foods...Plays a role in the production of the adrenal hormones and vitamin utilization...Helps convert fats, carbohydrates and proteins into energy...Prevents and reverses water retention...Helps in maintaining sodium and potassium balance...Aids in the prevention of arteriosclerosis [hardening of the arteries]...Important in the formation of lecithin and helps to reduce cholesterol levels...Inhibits the formation of a toxic chemical called homocysteine [attacks the heart muscle and allows the deposition of cholesterol around the heart muscle]...Promotes healthy sweat glands, nerve tissue and bone marrow...Helps make acetylcholine [an important neurotransmitter in the brain]...Helps protect against sunburn, skin cancer and other cancers.

Each pleasant tasting, cherry flavored lozenge contains 1000 mcg. of Vitamin B-12 and 400 mcg. of folic acid in base of mannitol and natural cherry flavor...To order this Nutritional Supplement, call 800 527-9512 and place order with account number 2727P...Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are intimately involved as vitamin cofactors in the cellular production of nucleic acids, protein and certain amino acids. Physiological anabolic functions of Vitamin B-12 and folic acid include DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis, nucleic acid metabolism, protein synthesis, cell division and amino acid synthesis (methionine, serine, glycine). The absorption of Vitamin B-12 is governed by the intrinsic factor, secreted from parietal cells of the stomach wall as a normal part of gastric juice. A failure in any stage in the absorption of the vitamin can render it unavailable. For instance, one third of people over 60 who no longer secrete gastric acid are unable to absorb Vitamin B-12 from food because they are unable to split B-12 from the protein complex to which it is attached. If the gastric juice of a person lacks the intrinsic factor necessary for absorption of Vitamin B-12, there is no uptake of the vitamin at all from the amounts normally provided in food. However, if amounts about 1000 times the normal dosage are given, sufficient amounts to meet the needs of an individual may pass through the wall by diffusion.

Amino acids are the basis of life itself. They are a major constituent for brain, nerve, muscle, blood, skin, and internal organs. Amino acids are precursors to dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and many other substances critical to health and well being. Besides building cells and repairing tissue, they form antibodies to combat invading bacteria and viruses; they are part of the enzyme and hormonal system; they build nucleoproteins (RNA and DNA); they carry oxygen throughout the body and participate in muscle activity. Amino acids are extremely useful in weight control, depression fighting, muscle building, proper hormonal activity, and proper function of the immune system. To order this product, call 800 527-9512, and place an order for Amino Acid Complex #960 with account number 2727P. Click here to purchase or for more details
With all the negative hype going on these days about the dangers of high-fat diet, do not confuse Omega 3 fatty acids [the good fat from vegetable oils] with Omega 6 fatty acids [the harmful saturated fat from animals]. Omega 3 does not contribute to weight gain or other health problems. To the contrary, it actually normalizes metabolism, balances hormones, and reduces inflammation. Omega-3 is critical for good health. However, the body cannot make it on its own. For this reason, omega-3s must be obtained from food sources. Actually both Omega 6 and Omega 3 are good healthy fats that our bodies need, but the danger lies in an imbalanced ratio of the 2. We only need about 5 times the amount of Omega 6 than we do Omega 3, but the typical Western diet provides at least 40 times as much. It is this gross imbalance that results in a host of health problems, including weight gain, hormone and brain chemistry imbalance, heart disease, tumors, cancer, arthritis; brain and nervous system disorders, including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, certain kinds of mental illness, depression, post-partum depression, bi-polar disorder, alcoholism, schizophrenia, dementia (including Alzheimer's), poor concentration and memory, attention deficit disorder, and more. The healthy thing to do is cut down considerably on Omega 6 fats, and supplement the Omega 3 fats. This supplement is a high-grade Omega 3 oil that is thoroughly screened to assure no contaminants. To order this product, call 800 527-9512, and place an order for Omega 3 Fish Oil Softgels #15049 with account number 2727P. Click here to purchase or for more details
Start out with 2000 mg per day and work up to more, as tolerated. ALL aloe vera products are not created equal. It is in the boosting of the immune system's response to antigens (foreign elements in the body) that Aloe Immune has shown the most promise. It is clear from research conducted throughout the world over the past thirty years that Aloe Immune contains certain specific substances in the plant, which have very dramatic and impressive anti-inflammatory effects. Aloe vera has been demonstrated to reduce the overall microbial load within the body thereby revitalizing the body in its fight against microbes. Aloe Immune aloe vera contains a number of chemicals that enhance the activities of all of the immune system functions. 23 Polypeptides serve as immune system stimulators, helping to control a broad spectrum of immune system diseases and disorders. 20 Polysaccharides increase the action of white blood cells thus increasing the production of "killer" T-cells and interferon. They also chemically enhance the action of the "killer" T-cells. One of these polysaccharides, acelated mannose, has been patented as acemannen and is approved in Europe to stimulate the immune system. Aloe Immune is used to strengthen the immune and endocrine/hormonal systems, as well as to shrink tumors, cysts and other growths. Click here to purchase or for more details
Death Begins In The Colon! "Probiotics" is a term that describes certain bacteria vital to the health of the intestinal tract. There are over 400 different known species of bacteria that inhabit the normal bowel -- including viruses, yeasts, and parasites. The intestinal tract is home to some 100 trillion microorganisms, but only a few of them are friendly. These friendly bacteria have been successfully used to rid the body of many dangerous microorganisms, and unlike drugs, herbs, vitamins and minerals, it is impossible to overdose on probiotics. Probiotics help to reduce. Without them, nutrients lose much of their effectiveness. Probiotic supplements should be taken daily as a line of resistance against pathogens. When illness strikes, it is usually because the beneficial bacteria have diminished [often due to poor diets that are high in sugar and fat, leaky gut, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, steroids, chemotherapy, or other medications]. Hundreds Of clinical studies have shown that probiotics can prevent and treat hundreds of common ailments. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria, which are vital to the health of the intestinal tract. When intestinal probiotics are deficient, candida yeast infections and leaky gut syndrome result. Most probiotics on the market today can not survive the pH changes that take place in the intestines. The Lactobacillus Sporogenes in the Flora Immune Probiotics survives with or without oxygen, survives at room temperature, survives light, survives hydrochloric and bile acids; survives any pH change, and no refrigeration is necessary. Capsules may be opened and mixed with food or liquids if desired…Note: Probiotics are essential to take if taking certain anti-microbials, including Oil Of Oregano, Garlic, Grapefruit Seed Oil or prescription antibiotics. It is used to protect the digestive flora and prevent yeast infections that result from certain anti-microbials. Click here to purchase or for more details
Dose: Take 1 twice daily...To order this product, call 800 527-9512, and place an order with account number 2727P...As for the immune system, CoQ10 stimulates T-Cells and is a potent antioxidant that scavengers free radicals [they cause degenerative diseases]. Recent findings substantiate the view that supplementation with CoQ10 can cause complete regression of certain tumors [including fibroid tumors and female organ cysts] and a reduction of fibrous tissue. It is also used to reduce blood clotting, thereby easing menstrual cramps. The liver and the heart contain the highest levels of CoQ10 in the body. Q-Gel is the ONLY duosoluble (dissolves in fat AND water) CoQ10 supplement and the only CoQ10 that exhibits 100% dissolution via USP testing standards. In other words, Q-Gel ensures that more CoQ10 gets into your system. Before Q-Gel was available, it took doctors carrying out clinical trials of CoQ10 several months to a year or more to achieve therapeutic blood levels of CoQ10. With Q-Gel, they are achieving therapeutic blood levels of CoQ10 in 3-4 weeks. Click here to purchase or for more details
In order to re-establish overall health and hormone balance, liver detoxification is crucial. Also, the first line of defense against cancer is your liver. The liver works hard to get rid of the excess estrogen. Because the liver is stressed trying to break it down to metabolize it and get rid of it, all of the other organs are stressed as well. The only way to rid the body of the toxins is thru detoxification, particularly of the liver. Essiac is used to detox all vital organs, especially the liver. A healthy liver is absolutely essential for a healthy immune system. In order to have a healthy immune system, you must detoxify your liver by cleansing it of stored toxins that accumulate over the years, resulting in a poor resistance to microbes, and culminate in various health disorders and diseases. Liver toxicity is often the cause of hormone imbalance in the first place. A toxic congested liver can result in fatigue, jaundice, constipation, depression, insomnia, anxiety, cravings, skin problems, poor digestion, poor circulation, poor mental alertness, poor weight maintenance, and more. Hair loss, thinning hair, and pre-mature gray hair result from hormonal imbalance as well as liver toxicity. People often mistakenly think that they inherit these conditions. Naturopathic Medicine does not believe that any disorders or diseases are inherited, but rather that you inherit a high requirement for certain nutrients. For hair loss, thinning hair and premature graying, my favorite is Essiac Tonic. This particular Essiac tonic is certified organic [contains no pesticides, herbicides or preservatives], non-fumigated, non-irradiated, and totally non-toxic. The herbs are freshly-ground minutes prior to cold-pressing to ensure potency. It is fast-acting, alcohol-free, and professional strength. Herb manufacturers who cannot make these claims are selling inferior, impotent and harmful products. This formula is the highest quality of Essiac formulas available anywhere on the U.S. market today. Instructions: Take the Essiac Tonic Liquid Drops on an empty stomach. Add 40 drops to 2-4 ounces of water 3 times daily. Wait 30 minutes before eating [If you have already eaten, wait 2 hours]. The number of drops in a bottle of liquid extract will vary depending on the viscosity (thickness) of the extract and its molecular weight. A 2-ounce bottle may range from 2000 drops to 2500 drops. Therefore this 2-ounce bottle will last 17-21 days, taking 120 drops per day. Take it for 32 days and then take one week off. Repeat the cycle as needed. Click here to purchase or for more details
In addition to the Basic Nutritional Supplements noted above
that are required for all health disorders,
the following is my
Naturopathic Protocol for Nutritional Supplements
specifically for Female Hormonal Imbalance.
Frequently Asked Questions and Concerns
In general, what is the principle behind Naturopathic Medicine?
Every disease process begins with one single cell. Cells reproduce constantly. The goal of nourishment is to make healthier cells so that they will reproduce healthier cells, which will spread to the surrounding tissues, then to the organ, then to the organ system. The average diet does not even begin to provide adequate cellular nourishment, but it is absolutely essential to nourish the cells daily with vital nutrients that are easily and safely absorbed. Remember this basic rule: Your body is designed to heal itself. But you must consistently comply with providing it with the nutrients that it is intended to have, while eliminating and keeping out the toxins. It is really that simple. In other words, when the body is adequately nourished and detoxified, the health disorders begin to reverse while restoring normal organ function.
Why do people get sick?
Despite genetic propensity, Naturopathic Medicine believes that ALL health disorders manifest, regardless of severity, most likely due to a direct or indirect result of nutritional imbalances as well as an accumulation of toxic substances. Our bodies require nutrients to regain health as well as to maintain health.
The key factor to reversing disorders and disease is maintaining a balanced acid-alkaline state in the body. When this balance is maintained, the body is well-oxygenated. pH [potential of hydrogen concentration] is the term used to identify the intensity of an acid or alkali. The potential ranges from 0 [extreme acidic] to 14 [extreme alkaline]. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side or too far to the alkaline side [alkalosis], cells become poisoned by their own toxic waste and die. Just as acid rain can destroy a forest, and alkaline wastes can pollute a lake, an imbalanced pH corrodes all body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of our veins and arteries like corrosives eating into marble. If left unchecked, an imbalanced pH will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. Optimally, we want the fluids in our bodies to have a neutral pH level, which is 7.0-7.2. No health disorder or disease can possibly sustain itself when the pH is maintained in the neutral zone. At this level, the body detoxifies and heals itself; its cells are energized; and it has a strong immunity to all diseases. You may read more about Acid-Alkaline Balance [the pH Factor] here.
If your current supplements have not made a significant difference in your health, it is probably because they are lacking in quality and/or have been improperly absorbed. All of the supplements that I carry are of the highest quality and are very efficiently absorbed.
Of course, the next question that will probably com to your mind is how long will you need to take the nutritional supplements. Well, the answer will vary from individual to individual. Everyone has a unique body timetable for healing, which is based on their current level of toxicity, nutritional imbalance, as well as compliance to the dietary suggestions and taking the nutritional supplements that supply essential nutrients that are required for health and healing.
Why has your M.D. not talked to you about nutritional therapy? It is important to know that conventional medicine does not endorse natural medicine, so it is not likely that they would approve these supplements. The decision will have to be made by you. By the same token, as a Naturopath, I do not advocate synthetic drugs.
What about an office of telephone consult?
I have been in the Natural Health business for almost 20 years and in the Nursing field for over 30 years, and experience has taught me that phone or office consultations are not the best way for me to convey what needs to be taught. Conversations actually do more to convolute than to clarify. Therefore I find that it is in the best interest for everyone for me to limit the consults to email only. They are clearly written and easily understood. For the past several years, I have been doing about 60-70 of these per day, in addition to teaching 26 online Master level Natural Health and Nursing classes. It has become almost more than I can physically, mentally or emotionally handle. Therefore, I am no longer able to personalize every email, but the content will be extremely comprehensive and very effective if applied as suggested. If this is not what you expected, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but I can assure you that it is probably far more information than you will receive anywhere regarding your specific health concerns.
Perhaps you think that I may not realize just how sick you are. If you read my personal health history you will realize that I can fully empathize what you are going thru. I know all too well what it is like when your life is on the line. That is exactly why I made the total transition into Natural Medicine. The discipline to follow the protocol is definitely not easy, but it is quite possible to do, and it is also very well worth it in the long-run. Just take it a day at a time, and do the best you can to comply with all the suggestions. You may read my credentials here.
Is there ever a fee for a consult? No, this information that I am providing is absolutely FREE to you, and it is exactly what I would say orally. I know that the information seems overwhelming, but if you would print it out, keep it with you, read it daily and begin to make at least 2-3 of the small dietary and nutritional changes per week, I promise that you will begin to see improvements.
You may be concerned about how to take the nutritional supplements. As a general rule, vitamins and minerals may be taken with food. It is also OK to take them with Colloidal Silver and the Omega-3 Softgels. However, herbs, i.e. the Essiac and Phytonutrients Plus Japanese Mushroom, should be taken on an empty stomach at least 2 hours apart from all other supplements. Also, do not combine herbal formulas with other herbal formulas at the same time. Space them at least 30 minutes apart from each other.
You may be wondering if you should gradually introduce the supplements into your body. The supplements that I carry are natural and food-based and do not have to be gradually introduced. But it depends entirely on your body. Everyone may not have the same tolerance to taking everything at once. You will have to be the judge of that based on the reaction of your body. I cannot assist you in making this decision.
Does insurance cover nutritional supplements? Generally, no.

excellent detoxification machines:
Elemental Hair Analysis reveals abnormalities not detected through other routine tests. This hair test can quickly pinpoint imbalances that may be triggering disorders of various body organ systems. The body is comprised of approximately 92% minerals, all of which are critically important. Some minerals are regarded as nutritious and some are regarded as toxic metals. Disease can result from an excess or deficiency of minerals. In fact, it is possible to acquire a disease based on a deficiency of only one mineral. On the other hand, many illnesses develop, not because of heredity, but through high levels of heavy metal toxicity which depress the immune system, thereby evoking diseases to enter the body. When mineral deficiencies occur, toxic metals replace the missing essential minerals in enzyme binding sites. This allows the body to survive in the face of nutrient deficiencies. Symptoms that may result from heavy metal poisoning include ADD, ADHD, OCD, bi-polar disorder, hormonal and brain chemistry imbalances that result in emotional outbursts, agitation, anger, anxiety, depression, crying excessively, difficulty concentrating, short-term memory problems, poor recall, irritability, restlessness, fidgety, nervousness, excessive stress, panic attacks, etc. Other health disorders and diseases that may result from heavy metal poisoning include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, fatigue, depression, anxiety, infections and many other conditions. However, heavy metal detoxification is possible thru nutritional therapy, which involves reversing disease processes by replacing the toxic metals with the preferred vital minerals. By correcting tissue mineral levels and ratios with proper dietary modifications, nutritional supplementation and lifestyle changes, many physical, mental, emotional and behavioral health conditions, including those of long standing, will improve.

Note about Pain Medications:
Drugs prescribed for pain may offer temporary pain relief, but they actually worsen the condition because long-term, their toxicity accumulates thereby taking a serious major toll on all vital organs, especially the liver, kidneys and digestive tract. They also inhibit tissue and cartilage repair. Long-term use of Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) can also cause gastrointestinal ulcers and internal bleeding.
People given corticosteroids, including Prednisone, which are synthetic hormones, to reduce inflammation can experience side-effects such as: osteoporosis, hip fractures, cataracts, insatiable appetite, rapid weight gain, susceptibility to infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, darkening or lightening of skin color, dizziness or lightheadedness, flushing of face or cheeks, hiccups, increased sweating, sensation of spinning, decreased or blurred vision, frequent urination, increased thirst, confusion, excitement, false sense of well-being, hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there), mental depression, mistaken feelings of self-importance or being mistreated, mood swings (sudden and wide), restlessness, skin rash or hives. Long-term side effects include candida, abdominal or stomach pain or burning (continuing), acne, bloody or black, tarry stools, eye pain, filling or rounding out of the face, irregular heartbeat, menstrual problems, muscle cramps or pain, muscle weakness, nausea, pain in arms, back, hips, legs, ribs, or shoulders, reddish purple lines on arms, face, groin, legs, or trunk, redness of eyes, sensitivity of eyes to light, stunting of growth (in children), swelling of feet or lower legs, tearing of eyes, thin, shiny skin, trouble in sleeping, unusual bruising, unusual increase in body hair growth, unusual tiredness or weakness, vomiting, wounds that will not heal, lowered resistance to infections, infections harder to treat, even minor infections such as sore throat, fever, sneezing, or coughing. After stopping this medicine, a body may need time to adjust. The length of time this takes depends on the amount of prednisone taken, and how long it was used. After large doses of this medicine for a long time, you may notice a reappearance of disease symptoms, shortness of breath, unexplained headaches (frequent or continuing), unusual tiredness or weakness, and vomiting and weight loss (rapid). There are many other side effects not listed here which may also occur.
Natural pain relief for various tyes of pain:
For any disorders that involve chest/lung inflammation [such as flu, sarcoidosis, TB], low-grade or high-grade fever and/or discomfort: I strongly suggest that you purchase and mix the following natural ingredients: a bottle of pure eucalyptus oil [NOW is an excellent brand], organically grown cayenne salve [DR. CHRISTOPHER is an excellent brand], and organically grown aloe vera gel [LILY OF THE DESERT is an excellent brand]. Mix several drops of the eucalyptus oil and with the cayenne salve. The amount of cayenne salve to add will depend on how much of the burning you can personally tolerate. The stronger, the better, but not to the point of undue discomfort. Add this mixture to 2 teaspoons of the aloe gel and apply liberally to chest, back, kidney and liver area 4-5 times per day.
This is a good pain reliever, but it does have some added synthetic preservatives. It also is not nearly as effective as if you were to make the mixture listed above.

It is excellent. Use a generous amount as often as possible throughout the day and night to break the cycle that causes pain, inflammation and stiffness. If you find that you are not getting sufficient relief, it is most likely because you are not using it often enough. You need to set aside some time when you can use it every 5 minutes very generously, then after several times, go to every 10 minutes. Keep repeating this until you are progressively moving to every 30 minutes and do this for several hours. Finally ease up to every1 hour, then every 2 hours, etc. This lotion has to deeply penetrate your muscles, bones and joints in order to break the inflammation cycle; and it takes some patience the first 2-3 days. But afterwards, you can be on an every 4 hour schedule and you will be essentially PAIN-FREE. It works wonders if you use it per these instructions.

In order to maintain or regain health,
toxic substances must be eliminated from diet and lifestyle.
I am also listing healthy substitutes
For correcting any health disorder, taking the nutritional supplements is only 50% of the solution. The other 50% is much more difficult. It consists of eliminating toxic substances from your diet and lifestyle. These toxic substances increase inflammation, body acidity, cancer cells, candida, interfere with healing, upset brain chemistry and hormone balance. These toxic substances include the following: All sugar [including fruit temporarily], white flour products [including pastas], dairy products, alcoholic beverages, drugs, processed table salt, processed foods, pre-packaged foods, foods grown and processed with pesticides, preservatives, antibiotics, or hormones.
More specifically:
Avoid sugar because it contributes greatly to inflammation, body acidity, hormonal imbalance and candida. These include fruits, fruit juices [frozen, bottled, canned], cakes, candy, chewing gum, cookies, ice cream, jams, jelly, Jell-O, marmalades, pastries, pies, preserves, sherbets, soft drinks, sugared fruit, tapioca puddings, white sugar, syrup, processed commercial yogurt, brown sugar, fructose sugar, corn syrup, soft drinks, honey, dehydrated cane juice granules, barley malt syrup, brown rice syrup, date sugar, maple syrup, sucanat, sorghum, and most of all Splenda and Aspartame [NutriSweeet] and Alcoholic Beverages [beer, wine and hard liquor all turn to sugar in the blood]...Xylitol And Stevia are 2 very healthy natural sweeteners that are perfectly OK to use. Also unsulfured blackstrap molasses is OK. Organically grown blue agave is also OK, but use only as minimally as possible. It is fine to combine the healthy sweeteners.
Avoid trans-fatty acids fake fats, which include margarine, olestra, olean. These fats are synthetic and pose a major health threat to all vial organs, particularly the liver which attempts to metabolize them. Instead, use olive oil, coconut oil or grape seed oil to cook [Butter does not become toxic when heated, but because it is animal fat, it may tend to raise the level of "bad cholesterol" in the body]. Olive oil [Omega 3 and Omega 6], coconut oil and grape seed oil [Omega 3] are the only oils that do not become toxic when heated.
Avoid dairy products [butter, cheese, milk, sour cream, whey, whipped cream, yogurt] because they contribute greatly to the spread of inflammation and body acidity.
Good substitutes are organic brown rice milk and nut milk; and raw goat milk.
Avoid white flour products because they contribute greatly to increased inflammation, body acidity, hormonal imbalance. These include cakes, pies, cookies, pastries, donuts, breads, crackers, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pancakes, pizzas, gravy, processed pasta [spaghetti, macaroni, ravioli, lasagna, noodles, dumplings]... Instead Use Whole-Grain Flour [Wheat, Brown Rice, Oat, Barley, etc]
Avoid processed table salt. It disrupts the body's normal pH, brain chemistry, hormonal balance, muscle function, and fluid levels. Use organic sea salt instead.
Avoid Processed Meats with toxic preservatives such as nitrates and nitrites [wieners, bologna, salami, pastrami, corned beef, bacon, ham, sausage, hot links]. They increase inflammation and body acidity.
Avoid Nightshade Plants...white potatoes, tomatoes, bell pepper, red pepper, eggplant, paprika, tobacco...They are healthy substances, but should be restricted if any inflammatory conditions are present.
Avoid ingesting toxic chemicals such as nicotine, tobacco, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, processed foods, pre-packaged foods, refined foods, and tap water because they contribute to liver toxicity and free radical damage. Synthetic chemical and substances cause cellular havoc in an attempt to digest them. The body can only safely digest natural whole foods.
Avoid prescription and over-the-counter antacids. They actually do more harm than good. Antacids add considerably to the risk of cancer due to their ability to decrease the “good” estrogen and increase the “bad”. 30% of Americans take antacids of some kind on a regular basis, and they actually believe that they are a safe solution from their digestion problems. Nothing could be further from the truth. 12,000 Americans die each year from esophageal cancer, and its major warning symptom is heartburn. Heartburn not only indicates possible GERD, but also possible bleeding ulcers or heart problems. Antacids not only interfere with normal digestion, but they also mask symptoms of the real underlying problems. Hydrochloric acid in the stomach is the only acid that the human body makes, and it is extremely necessary for every cellular and enzyme function in the body, and to kill harmful bacteria. When antacids block the production of this acid, indigestion is incomplete and results in fibrous parts of food that remain in the digestive system. There they clump together and form large masses known as bezoars, which require digestive enzymes, particularly cellulase, to be broken down and digested properly. Instead, use Calcium Magnesium powder as a natural antacid or Natural Antacid Caps #B1190 ...To order this Nutritional Supplement: Call 800 527-9512 and place order with account number 2727P
Instead, eat lots of vegetables and fresh vegetable juices, whole grains, and meats only in moderation. Use organic if possible, or you may request suggestions on how to detox your own foods. Also drink 3 quarts of pure filtered water daily [EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR PREVENTING LIVER SLUGGISHNESS AND DEHYDRATION] and sleep at least 8 hours each night.
Avoid Personal items that are processed with any unnatural chemicals, dyes, inks, artificial fragrances. If any of the toxic substances are absorbed into your body, they are linked to a lowered immune system, increased inflammation, endometriosis, candida, and cancer...Undergarments, wash cloths, bath towels, bed linen, tissue paper, sanitary napkins, diapers, etc. Should be white, hypo-allergenic, made of cotton fibers. Menstruating females should use sanitary napkins instead of tampons, but if tampons are used they should be made with organically grown cotton fibers.
Avoid Toxic laundry and hygienic products...Use organic, or at least hypoallergenic [free of fragrances, dyes, inks] laundry and hygienic products that come in contact with your skin...Use 1 cup Clorox bleach with every laundry load to kill infections.
Avoid Toxic skin and hair products, toothpastes, mouthwashes, douche solutions, deodorants, make-up, nail polishes, nail glues, cosmetics, colognes, perfumes, lotions...Use only natural ingredients. ..You may purchase natural excellent dental, skin and hair products here.
NOTE to Women: Instead of mammograms, I strongly suggest Thermography

The importance of drinking a sufficient amount pure water:
When detoxifying or taking large quantities of supplements and/or medications, it is so very important to drink 2 ½ - 3 quarts of pure filtered water daily to offset any die-off symptoms. During detoxification, the more toxic you are, the more likely you are to experience a die-off reaction. Die-off means that your cells have begun to release toxins, but they are floating around in your bloodstream. It takes pure water to effectively eliminate them thru the kidneys. When you do not drink enough water, the dead toxins die and accumulate in your bloodstream faster than you can flush them out. Die-off symptoms are flulike symptoms: aches, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, headache, depression, drowsiness, dizziness, light-headedness, lack of energy, etc. These symptoms are an indication that a very toxic person is having an effective detox reaction. Individuals who are less toxic are less likely to experience these symptoms, and if they do, the symptoms are usually milder. Either way is considered an effective detox, but to prevent or reduce the severity of symptoms, it is very important to drink 2 ½ - 3 quarts of pure filtered water daily.
