Parasites Are A Problem For Our Health

Nancy Addison — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 18:37:21 +0000

When my daughter was in the Peace Corps in Mali Africa, I became acutely aware of the dangers of parasites. I had grown up not knowing about them at all. When I was young, I rode horses, had pet dogs, cats, chickens, opossums, rabbits, and more.

Neither my doctor nor veterinarian ever mentioned that all these animals can carry parasites and pass them on to me.

When I began to study health and healing on a deeper level, I discovered that parasites are actually a common problem for many people. They are often the cause of many ailments that are frequently said to be “genetic”. This diagnosis makes us feel like we can‘t do anything about it, and it can make us feel powerless if we are challenged with this situation.

I began writing my health and nutrition books/cookbooks to share the knowledge I had learned about actual cures for many ailments using natural Divinely-Given Remedies instead of allopathic pharmaceutical drugs. “Allopathic medicine is the system of medicine in which doctors and other healthcare professionals treat symptoms and diseases using drugs, radiation, or surgery.” I had so many family members and friends dying of diseases using the allopathic medical protocol and pharmaceutical drugs, that I came to the conclusion that “their program”was not working
well at all.

I proceeded to embark on a Holistic Health journey studying nutrition, quality of food, water, environment, and emotional components. I researched the optimal ways to be healthy and to raise my children in this world today, so they could live vibrant, joyful, healthy long lives.

I started researching health and nutrition over 40 years ago, and in doing so, I discovered the work of Dr. Gordo Crozier DO. According to Dr. Crozier, an integrative physician in Orlando, more than 60 million people in the USA are infected with parasites.

“Because parasites are spread by pets, contaminated water and improperly handled food, they’re becoming an increasingly common health threat in the U.S.” (1)

I decided to look into this and add this information into my books. Unbelievably the book publishers would not publish my books unless I removed this vital research and information regarding parasites and detoxification. Knowing that these facts and remedies were some of the most important information in my books, I decided to protect my work and self-publish so that I could stay in control of this vital information affecting our health.

Would you be shocked or surprised to hear that I have learned that many health challenges today, including diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel, cramps, bloating, malabsorption, mucus, fatigue, nausea, skin rash, dry cough, lymph blockage, allergies, joint pain, brain fog, memory loss, dermatitis, headaches, floaters in the eye, MS, and even cancer can actually be a result of parasites?

In just the past two years, I have been learned from countless doctors that many of our everyday common health complaints could actually be parasites and toxic overload in the body.

How can that be? I have learned from the CDC’s website that the US municipal tap water has feces in it. Feces have parasites In them. In a brochure that you can get at your veterinarians office called “Parasites and You”, it contains a graph of all known parasites that can transfer from your pet to you.

We can also obtain parasites from other things, such as ingesting dirt particles that are not completely washed off of food, eating meat, walking barefoot outdoors, traveling in other countries, drinking tap water, and swimming in lakes or ponds.

Yet, I have been told that Medical Doctors are taught in Medical School that parasites are a third world problem, and that they don’t exist in America. The parasite tests that the Medical Doctors do with Lab Corp and Quest are called comprehensive tests, yet they only test for 1 type of parasite, the protozoa, even though there are around 40 various types that are known to exist in North America.

If you want to find out if you have parasites, you can get a comprehensive test from the Parasitology Center, (PCI) in Scottsdale, Arizona. PCI Wellness, link: https://pciwellness.com/ref/84/

The PCI Wellness parasite cleanse protocol is the one I do, twice a year. I do it because I have pets and do things where I know I am exposed to parasites. Dr. Ardis recommends this parasite cleanse as well.

According to Dr. David Jockers, the eggs of these parasites hatch during full moons, so he has a full moon parasite cleansing protocol. (2)

What are Parasites?

“A parasite is a living organism that lives off of another living organism, which is called a “host.” There are three basic classes of these organisms”, according to Dr. Jockers. (3)

“Protozoa: These parasites are single-cell microscopic organisms that can multiply or divide within the host. They are transmitted from person to person through fecal matter, blood, or insect bites. An example is the parasite Plasmodium, which causes malaria.
Helminths: These are worm parasites. They are larger, multi-celled organisms that may be visible to the naked eye. Examples are roundworms, pinworms, trichina spiralis, tapeworms, and flukes. It is estimated that half of the world’s population (over 3 billion people) is infected with at least one of three worms: roundworm, hookworm, or whipworm (4).
Ectoparasites: These live on (rather than in) their hosts. Ectoparasites are also described as “blood-sucking arthropods.” Examples are lice, bed bugs, and fleas.” (5)

In the US, parasites are often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. But I have learned over the years that many of the “diseases” people are diagnosed with can actually be caused by parasites. In fact, according to Columbia University parasitologist Dickson Despommier, “About half the world’s population (over 3 billion people) are infected with at least one of the three worms forming what he calls the “unholy trinity”—large roundworm, hookworm and whipworm. (6)

Dr. Bryan Ardis was on my radio/TV show a few times in the past year, and he said that if you have a pet, then you have parasites.

He mentioned this as he was expanding on how he believes MS could actually be caused by parasites in the brain. (7) The Rocky Mountain Lab conducted autopsies on people who died of MS and found parasites in the tissues of the brain and spinal fluid of all of them.

Dr. Lee Merritt has done some video interviews and shows concerning her understanding that most cancers are actually parasites and parasite eggs. She said she was taught in medical school that “there really wasn’t a parasite problem in people in the US.” (8)

There is a problem, and Dr. Merritt believes there is a lack of education for health care providers on this subject and health challenge. In one of her recent videos, she addressed the parasite/cancer situation: “Cancer is Parasites, the Scientific Evidence, and What to Do About it.” (9)

In this video, she stated that “They have known that Cancer is caused by parasites since 1906. A Nobel Prize was given for this discovery then covered up.” (10) She goes on to say that symptoms caused by parasitic infections are usually misdiagnosed because they are similar to many common ailments.

Some of these examples are:

A peptic ulcer may actually be a roundworm infection. Diabetes and Hypoglycemia can be a result of tapeworms.

Parasites could be the cause of health challenges like chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, type 1 diabetes (T1D), multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and Crohn’s disease.

I have come to the conclusion, after speaking with many doctors and doing a lot of research, that parasites mainly feed on sugar, toxins, heavy metals, (including mercury), and red blood cells. (We can get mercury from the new energy saving lightbulbs, skin care products, dental fillings, vaccines, fish, and tap water.)

Unfortunately, parasites also feed on the essential nutrients in our body. They deplete their host (human, animal, fowl, fish) of nutrition, while at the same time excreting toxins, adding to a toxic overload in the body. I understand from my research that we, in the US, are living in a pretty toxic-saturated environment. Typically, we can be exposed to approximately 40 to 400 chemicals a day from air, water, food, cleaning fluids, fire retardants, EMF’s, energy saving devices, insect sprays, lawn fertilizers, herbicides, body care products, sunscreens, and the list goes on.

Dr. Ardis mentioned that he believes we could realistically be exposed to as many as 5000 chemicals a day! As long as we have these chemicals in our body, parasites have an abundance of food to attract them and support them.

Dr. Bernard Jensen, an expert in colon research and therapy, states that “the average person over 40 years of age has between 5 and 25 pounds of buildup in their colon. . . Parasites of all sizes thrive in this undisposed residue of fecal matter, slowly but surely toxifying the whole body.” (11)

90% of Americans have Parasites

We’re talking about nasty critters like whipworms, tapeworms, roundworms, and toxoplasma.

Gut problems like these are usually the first sign:

• Stomach cramps

• Vomiting or nausea

• Loose stools

But parasites don’t just harm your digestion. If you feel like you are always hungry, always tired, have achy joints, depression, rashes, hives, insomnia or disrupted sleep, itchiness (frequently in the private parts), yeast flare-ups, abdominal pain or cramping, diarrhea, bloating, coughing or wheezing, food allergies, weakness, or dizziness, you may indeed have parasites. (12)

Dr. Peter Wina, chief of patho-biology at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, says, “We have a tremendous parasitic problem right here in the US. It is just not being addressed.” (13)

Joseph Sterling wrote in his newsletter, Secrets of Robust Health, that parasitic infection is common: Humans can play host to over 100 different kinds of parasites, ranging from microscopic to several-feet-long tapeworms. Contrary to popular belief, parasites are not restricted to our colon alone, but can be found in other parts of the body: the lungs, the liver, the muscles and joints, the esophagus, the brain, the blood, the skin, and even in the eyes. (14)

Some common symptoms of parasitic infection are: constipation, gas and bloating, diarrhea, back pain, joint and muscle pain, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies, insatiable hunger, itchy ears, nose, or anus, unpleasant sensations in the stomach, nervousness, grumpiness, chronic fatigue, lethargy or apathy, various skin problems, problems sleeping, nutritional deficiencies or anemia, problems with the immune system, teeth grinding or clenching, weight gain, forgetfulness, dizziness, and blurry vision.

These symptoms are all worth trying to remedy with a simple detoxification cleanse. The most important thing with a good parasite cleanse is that you stick with it as exactly as directed, in order to get rid of all of the egg sacks and the hatched larva that the parasites may have laid in the body.

Whenever there is a full moon, parasite eggs usually hatch. Knowing that, it would be a good idea to start a parasite cleanse during a full moon, and continue your cleanse at least a week or two after a full moon.

Following are some natural ways to help keep your body’s immune system so strong, that it will help prevent parasites.

Use the PCI Wellness Parasite Cleanse Protocol.

https://pciwellness.com/ref/84/

Eat raw organic fruits and vegetables

It is especially important to make sure you are eating raw organic fresh fruits and vegetables with your meals, because these contain live enzymes.

Raw plant-based enzymes take apart foreign proteins and expose the hidden parasites, which have cloaked themselves in a protein coating. The immune system cannot see the cloaked parasites, so it doesn’t know that it needs to get rid of them. This is especially true for someone who eats a mostly meat diet. But, when you eat raw, organic vegetables and fruits, the body has a plentiful supply of enzymes that go searching for proteins to eat. It is these enzymes that search the body and find and ingest the protein coating off of the parasites and egg sacks, revealing them to the immune system. The immune system sees the danger and destroys the yeasts, parasites, and any other pathogens.

According to the Britannica, the foods and essential oils of spices and herbs can be used to help remedy a parasitical infestation. (15)

Spices and herbs are “parts of various plants cultivated for their aromatic, pungent, or otherwise desirable substances. Spices and herbs consist of rhizomes, bulbs, fruit, seeds, leaves, barks, flower buds, and stigmas. They are commonly divided into the categories of spices, spice seeds, and herbs. (16) Garlic

Garlic, throughout history, has been used to treat many health challenges, including viruses, fungi, bacteria, parasites, and cancer. It is a powerful food. It can even chelate (remove) heavy metals from the body. Ingesting garlic can also be a way to prevent mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas from wanting to bite you. (17)

Black Walnut-Nuts & Hull

The nuts and green hulls of black walnut (Juglans nigra) are a favorite of holistic health herbalists because of their ability to cleanse the blood and the intestines. Black walnut hull is used to cure fungal infections. The juice taken from the green hulls is used to kill parasites. Only green hulls should be used. (18)

Wormwood – (Ivermectin is the pharmaceutical version of Wormwood)

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a perennial herb with tiny yellow-green flowers. The leaves and flowers are frequently used as a stomach problem remedy, and are an effective remedy for intestinal worms. It is advised to avoid taking wormwood if you are a nursing woman. Wormwood has powerful antimicrobial attributes, and can be used for many other types of infections. (19)

Cloves

Clove buds are an important herb used in Ayurvedic medicines for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections and for worms. This treatment has been used for thousands of years. Cloves contain a powerful oil (eugenol), which has been researched and found to help in the eradication of many pathogens in the gut, including parasites. Clove oil has been found to dissolve the eggs left behind by worms. It is believed to be the only oil that destroys almost all parasite eggs. Clove is such an incredibly strong broad-spectrum spice/oil/herb because of its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and powerful antimicrobial properties. (20)

Thyme

Thyme is one of the most effective herbs for stimulating the thymus, a major gland of the immune system. Thyme contains natural volatile oils which are known to help strengthen the immune system. The essential oil of thyme can eliminate the growth of many parasites, and it can kill them in the intestinal tract, as well as reduce intestinal cramping. (21)

Oil Of Oregano

Oil of oregano is one of the most powerful essential oils. It is important to buy one that is not diluted down with olive oil or another carrier oil. This oil is extremely powerful in crushing free radicals, and it is antiparasitic, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. It is an indiscriminate destroyer of the bad pathogens, and can aid in resetting the microbial environment in the intestines. Many studies show the effectiveness of essential oil of oregano with everything from parasitical infections to cancer. There is a study that shows an Inhibition of enteric parasites by emulsified oil of oregano in vivo. (22)

Diatomaceous Earth

Food grade diatomaceous earth (which is finely crushed sea shells) is what I frequently use for eliminating fleas and ticks in my yard and on my pets. Diatomaceous earth absorbs methyl mercury, E. coli, endotoxins, viruses, organophosphate pesticide residues, and drug residues. Its positive effects include killing intestinal parasites, balancing the intestinal flora, killing viruses, and absorbing toxins. (23) It is highly recommended for intestinal cleanses, but it is a very fine powder, so avoid inhaling it.

Reishi Mushrooms

Reishi mushrooms grow wild on decaying logs and also on trees. Reishi mushrooms have anti-tumor and anti-oxidative properties. They can promote lower blood pressure and lower glucose levels. Reishi mushrooms have been used to successfully treat hepatitis B, glomerulosclerosis, ulcers, and they are also antifungal and antiparasitic.

(24)

Pumpkin Seed

“Pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil are rich in fatty acids, zinc, copper, sterols, anti-inflammatory agents, and amino acids. Pumpkin seeds are used to treat worms, especially tapeworms. Even though it’s not the fastest parasite killer; it works. The recommendation is to eat raw, organic, sprouted pumpkin seeds every day for several weeks.” (25) I freshly grind them up and sprinkle them on my salads, as well as my pet’s food.

Pomegranate Seed

Pomegranate has many health benefits, and for decades the pomegranate seed has been used to treat infections from the most common parasites found in humans: roundworms, pinworms and tapeworms. (26)

Bentonite Clay Bentonite clay is a volcanic ash containing a multitude of minerals. Historically, Native Americans used it for detoxifying and cleansing their bowels. They called it Ee-Wah-Kee, meaning “the mud that heals.” Bentonite has the ability to bind with toxins, drugs, and heavy metals, and draw them out of the body. Many of those are actually what parasites feed on.

I had a cyst on my wrist, and I didn’t want to have surgery to remove it. I started using bentonite clay on a daily basis with my High-Fiber Cleanse. Within three weeks, the cyst had disappeared. Dr. Merritt said to me that the cyst was probably a parasite egg sack. (27)

Strongly polarized, bentonite clay has a powerful electromagnetic field when hydrated. It can attract and hold on to various forms of radiation, and it has the ability to pick up a great deal more than its own weight in positively charged particles. Dr. Jensen, ND, DC, PhD, suggested using bentonite clay to absorb the radiation in your bones, which are often subjected to radiation through the use of X-rays, computers, television, and radiation treatments for cancer. (28)

The medical community has found bentonite clay to have amazing healing properties. One study by a research duo from Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences found that “Unlike conventional antibiotics routinely administered by injection or pills, the so-called “healing clays” could be applied as rub-on creams or ointments to keep MRSA infections from spreading. . . The clays also show promise against a wide range of other harmful bacteria, including those that cause skin infections and food poisoning. . . Their study, one of the first to explore the antimicrobial activity of natural clays in detail, was presented at the 235th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society. . .” (29)

In addition to finding that MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was susceptible to bentonite clays, they found the clays exhibited antimicrobial effects against Mycobacterium ulcerans (which is related to tuberculosis, and results in a flesh-digesting disease) and two causes of food poisoning: E. coli and Salmonella. (30) Arizona State University found that some bentonite clays were contaminated. So, only use food-grade bentonite clay that is specifically labeled safe for internal use. (31) I also recommend using a wood, plastic, ceramic, or glass bowl and spoon when using bentonite clay. Avoid using a metal bowl and spoon, because the metal will react with the clay and reduce most of its healing properties.

Bentonite clay can bind with a lot of various toxins, like mercury, EMF’s, graphene oxide, and even some parasites.

I use food grade for people and pets, because this helps eliminate the food the parasites feed on.

Here is a link for some Food Grade Bentonite Clay Capsules I have recommended to my clients.

Activated Charcoal

Another supplement that can eliminate the toxins that parasites feed on is activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is also wonderful for nausea and diarrhea in people and pets.

Here is a link for one brand that I have used. Wild Activated Charcoal Capsules from 100% Organic Coconut Shells.

I recommend taking your healthy nutritional supplements in the morning. Then I recommend taking the detox supplements 1 or 2 hours after the evening meal, because we naturally detoxify overnight.

Herbal Remedies

Always use caution when working with herbal remedies, because some of them should not be combined with others. Do your research.

The good news is that any side effects from herbs are less likely to bother you than anything on the warning label of every single pharmaceutical.

In your research, you might ask a knowledgeable herbal practitioner before taking any of the above suggestions, especially if you are pregnant or nursing.

A healthy diet should be followed whenever doing a cleanse, but especially when taking broad-spectrum antimicrobial supplements.

You might weaken some of the beneficial bacteria in your body, and you will want to replenish these, because these beneficial bacteria are what create your immune system.

Here are a few of my favorite parasite remedies.

Iodine Supplementation

Iodine supports our thyroid and is missing from most foods today. It dissipates when it touches oxygen, so white iodized salt is not an effective way to ingest iodine. I read Dr. David Brownstein’s book, “Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It” many years ago. He explains how we need iodine on a regular basis, to be healthy and to have our thyroid function properly.

He says “It is impossible to achieve your optimal health if you do not have adequate iodine levels. He says iodine deficiency can contribute to: breast cancer, fibrocystic breast disease, detoxification, fatigue, Graves’ disease, and Hashimoto’s disease and may be the root cause of thyroid problems including hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer.” (32)

As a Certified International Wildlife Rehabilitator, I know that animals require iodine also. I recommend at least one drop of iodine a day for cats and dogs. I like the Nascent Iodine sold by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.

What I have learned since then is that iodine is antimicrobial and can disrupt the cellular structure of intestinal parasites. It can also disrupt parasite metabolism, making it more difficult for them to survive. (33)

The bentonite clay, pumpkin seed, moringa leaf powder, and psyllium husk cleanse is one you can make at home.

Moringa leaf powder has a variety of health benefits, from increased wound healing to managing blood glucose. (34). This cleanse can help rid your body of many types of parasites.

I have been doing a cleanse like this for almost 40 years.

Ingredients:

1 tsp. organic psyllium husks

1/8 teaspoon (or less) bentonite clay

1⁄2 tsp. freshly ground, fresh, organic, raw sprouted pumpkin seeds

½ tsp. raw, organic moringa powder

8 oz. purified water

There are various anti-parasite cleanses on the market. My favorite cleanse at the moment, is the one developed by the PCI Wellness. They are generational parasite experts. Their cleanse has more ingredients that can also help rid the body of fungus and bacteria, which can go hand-in-hand with parasites.

When doing the parasite cleanse for the first time, you may need to do it for an entire three months (90 days). I recommend this, because you want to make sure you rid your body of the parasite as it goes through all of the stages of life. You do not want it to re-emerge in the future, which can happen if it is in a stage not addressed by the cleanse.

This parasite cleanse is called the “Freedom Cleanse and Restore” Protocol recommended by Dr. Bryan Ardis.

PranaPets Intestinal Defense Supplement for Dogs & Cats | Naturally Helps Digestive Issues in Pets | Herbal Formula

When my daughter joined the Peace Corps and moved to Mali Africa, she lived in a mud hut with a dirt floor, no modern bathroom, no electricity, no running water, and she had to get her water from a well. She also ate all the food the villagers made her, in order to maintain her friendly relationship with the people. It is a terrible insult in many cultures around the world to turn down a food or drink offering.

While my daughter was living in that tiny rural village, she started feeling ill, and was diagnosed with parasites. She had to do some tough parasite cleanses while she was there, and also when she returned to the US. She is very dedicated to eating healthy and detoxifying on a regular basis, since she is still quite the world traveler and loves nature. In fact, that is my daughter and I swimming in a river in Cambodia in 2014, bathing an elephant in the photo above. She has a love of nature and adventure like I do and we share that love.

Being someone who loves being out in nature, I realize that I have been doing natural parasite protection protocols my whole life and I didn’t even realize it. (The iodine supplementation that I have been doing for around 25 years is one of them.) When our immune system is strong and we are eating nutrient-rich fresh fruits and vegetables, then our body can be strong enough to defend itself against these types of organisms. But when we are ingesting processed, low nutrient-dense foods, microwaved or irradiated foods, or chemicals and toxins, and municipal tap water, these can contribute to a weakened immune system, and our defenses that keep us well begin to get broken down.

Adding some of the healthy, antioxidant-rich foods, with a high pH, is a way one can boost the body’s immune system, detoxify the body from acids and toxins, and boost overall health.

Adding healthy, organic spices, herbs, mushrooms, barks, minerals, and essential oils and other natural remedies is such an easy way to prevent parasites from proliferating or thriving in the body.

I believe at this point in time that it is even more important to be aware of the fact that parasites can be a real problem in health challenges today. Therefore, cleansing our body of parasitical infections is paramount. Whether you believe you might have parasites or not, I believe that what we ingest directly impacts our health. Because of this, I strongly recommend that avoid refined foods, sugar, artificial additives and sweeteners, junk food, microwaved foods and liquids, municipal tap water, irradiated foods and liquids, and all GMO food is a great way to start. I simply avoid buying those foods and I find other ways to eat delicious foods that are organic healthy, fresh, and in their most natural form.

One thing that I have believed in for a very long time is that “food is our medicine” and what we ingest becomes our cells, tissue, and blood, and thus directly impacts our health.

My closing thought is that I want to make you more aware of the prevalence of parasites in our bodies today.

Please research the various cleanses and choose the one that best suits you.

Adding more healthy foods and liquids to your diet could improve your immune system, raise your pH, naturally prevent parasites, and contribute to optimum health.

Education is power.

Stay enlightened and I encourage you to live your life to the fullest!

Remedy For Constipation & Irregularity – For Your Well-being

Nancy Addison — Sat, 13 Jul 2024 18:20:52 +0000

Recently I had someone ask me about constipation. He said, “I have had terrible constipation and I can’t seem to get it resolved.
Please give me some advice.”

So, my answer is: This is a very important subject to address.

If your body is not eliminating wastes efficiently after each meal, there may be some blockage in the intestinal tract. This can be a serious health problem which should be addressed immediately. I feel most health problems are a result of the blockages in the intestinal tract.

Anyone who has been a consumer of processed foods, fried foods, trans fats, or meat may have blockages, plaque, or debris lodged in the colon. After years and years of eating meals that have not been completely digested or moved out of the body, layers and layers of waste have possibly built up in the intestinal tract.

The intestinal tract is where you are supposed to absorb most of your nutrition, and it’s where a major part of the immune system resides. If this is blocked up, the immune system is not able to work effectively and you may not be able to absorb the nutrition you need.

Natalia Rose, a New York clinical nutritionist, says that if you wake up in the morning, have a bowel movement, pull in your gut, and it is almost to your spine, then you have an empty and clean intestine. If you cannot do this, then your intestines are full of undigested waste stuck in the tissues like cement.

Master colon therapist Gil Jacobs explains that a laxative will do nothing for the normal person who is eating fairly well, except release the very newest waste, and then drive the older waste deeper into the tissue and make it harder to remove. The laxative will irritate the bowels.

Both Gil Jacobs and Natalia Rose believe in colonic cleansing, and they recommend the gravity method. The client reclines in a large chair, and a small quantity of warm water is very slowly introduced into the colon by a narrow tube. Then the water (and hopefully some built up waste) runs out of the colon, being released through a tube and directly into the plumbing. The hydrotherapist answers questions, guiding or assisting whenever needed.

Having a colonic is actually very easy. The water cleanses the walls of the intestine. Each time a colonic is done, another layer of plaque or waste can be washed out of the lining of the colon.

People sometimes say, “I got a colonoscopy, and they said my colon is fine.”

I feel I need to address a few differences between what I consider a healthy method called a colonics and a medical procedure called a colonoscopy.

A colonoscopy doesn’t clean out the colon. It doesn’t pull out the toxins or plaque embedded in the lining of the intestines. It is like a bullet going through the barrel of a gun.

In fact, there are risks and dangers with getting a colonoscopy.

Did you know it is IMPOSSIBLE to completely sterilize a colonoscope?

Colonoscopies destroy the bacterial flora that balance the microorganisms in your colon. The average colon in a human body, contains 3 – 4 pounds of bacteria, most of which consists of good, healthy bacteria. The colonoscopy preparation procedure actually strips your colon of all of its good, protective bacteria.

1 in every 350 colonoscopies end up doing serious harm. The death rate is about 1 for every 1,000 procedures. With 15 million colonoscopies being done each year in the U.S., that means about 15,000 Americans die as a result of this routine procedure.

Getting back to the subject of being constipated and the numerous health problems that can arise from that situation, I see a colonic as a safer and healthier method to remedy that situation quickly and more effectively than pharmaceutical drugs or laxatives.

A colonic actually washes out the debris, plaque, and whatever else is stuck in the layers of the intestinal wall.

Colonics are recommended for people with a high degree of inflammation, constipation, and/or plaque in their colon. Some people find it so useful that they continue to do it once a month or more just to stay clean.

Gil and Natalia say that a person who grew up eating a standard American diet of bread, meat, trans fats, sugar, and junk food could get a colonic every week for the rest of his or her life, and still not have one-hundred percent of the waste completely removed from the colon. But the more waste that is removed, the healthier you will be.

Dr. Ed Group states that a colonic only cleans out the large intestines, where as the small intestines is the most important part to clean out. He recommends the Oxypowder, which is a formulation by Nikola Tesla and it is sold by Global Healing. You can listen to Dr. Group here on my weekly podcast in July 2024. I will say, I have recommended it to many of my clients who struggle with this situation and it has worked quickly and gotten them regular and in much better health easily.

One thing I highly recommend for daily health and also for constipation relief, is drinking a large glass of warm mineral-rich water every morning as soon as you get up, before doing anything else. This will help hydrate you and assist moving any toxins and waste out of the body.

An important subject to note, is that a raw food diet will awaken the body and help get waste out. The raw food is more likely to be completely or close to completely digested. Your body will start to cleanse itself of toxins because of the antioxidant-rich food and fiber.

When the colon and the rest of the intestinal tract are cleaned up and running free and clear, the whole body will start to work in harmony.

Many people will find that their joint problems, headaches, back aches, skin problems, and hair problems simply disappear when they finally get their colon and intestines clean and oxygenated.

Natalia Rose also recommends enemas as another way to remove waste from the bowels. They can work well and get waste to come out of the tissues.

Additionally, Gil and Natalia recommend putting a small step stool in front of the toilet. If you put your feet on the small stool when using the toilet, your intestinal tract has a better curve, making it much easier to move waste through the tract.

Also, recently I learned about Oxypowder – a supplement developed by Nikola Tesla, of a specific type of magnesium formulation, that Tesla’s personal assistant gave to Dr. Ed Group. Dr. Group worked on it and make Oxypowder. I have found it to be incredibly helpful for my clients who were struggling with constipation. It is incredibly effective and healthy. Here is a link for Global Healing, Dr. Ed Group’s company that makes it.

In conclusion, keep your intestinal tract and colon clean and your whole body will operate more effectively, and your health will benefit in many ways.

A Healthier Eating Plan For The New Year

Nancy Addison — Tue, 02 Jan 2024 01:34:47 +0000

It is a new year and time to get healthy after our holiday food indulgences. So let’s get started on the path to cleansing and detoxifying our bodies!

The food we eat and the physical environment we live in causes us to accumulate toxins, which limits our physical stamina and impairs our immune system. If we are clogged up and holding toxins in our bodies, we can’t absorb nutrients properly and digestion is hindered.

This might lead to constipation, bloating, gas, headaches, bad breath, allergy symptoms, PMS, depression, frequent infections, dull skin, thinning hair, and weight gain. These are all good reasons to detoxify and cleanse ourselves!

There are a few different ways to do this, and one of the best ways is to add more fiber to our diets. The average American diet contains about 10 grams of fiber a day, but in reality, we need to consume about 25 to 35 grams a day. Why is this? Because fiber absorbs toxins and helps move them through and out of our bodies, cleaning us out. Meat does not contain fiber, so a diet that is almost entirely creature foods, contains little if any fiber. The lack of fiber from plant-based foods can cause constipation and intestinal blockages.

Natalia Rose, a New York clinical nutritionist, that I studied with, says that if you wake up in the morning, have a bowel movement, pull in your gut, and it is almost to your spine, then you have an empty and clean intestine. If you cannot do this, then your intestines are full of undigested waste stuck in the tissues like cement. Studies show that most Americans walk around with at least ten pounds of undigested waste in their intestines.

Our intestinal tract is where most of our immune system resides. It is also where we should be absorbing most of our nutrients from our food. In my research, I have found that if the intestinal tract is not healthy, then the person will have health challenges.

If your body is not eliminating waste efficiently after each meal, (and you should be having a bowel movement after each and every meal), there may be some blockage in the intestinal tract.

Anyone who has been a consumer of processed foods, fried foods, or trans fats, or who has been a meat eater (fish, fowl, beef, pork, and such) may have blockages, plaque, or debris lodged in the colon. After years and years of eating meals that are not completely digested or moved out of the body, there are layers and layers of waste that have been built up.

A raw plant-based food diet will help awaken the body, and help move the waste out-of-the-body. Changing your diet to mostly raw plant-based food will help, because the food is more likely to be completely (or close to completely) digested. Your body will start to cleanse itself of toxins because of the antioxidant-rich food and fiber.

When the colon and the rest of the intestinal tract are cleaned up and running free and clear, the whole body will start to work in harmony. Many people will find their joint problems, headaches, back aches, skin problems, and hair problems simply disappear when they finally get their colon and intestines clean and oxygenated.

Fiber, especially cruciferous vegetable fiber (like broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts) also provides food for our immune system. These are called prebiotics. This type of fiber helps our body sustain a healthy intestinal flora.

Fifty percent of our immune system is located in and around our digestive system, especially the large intestines. Cleansing these is the first step to obtaining and maintaining good health.

Once your body is cleansed, it can utilize nutrients much more efficiently, thus reducing your cravings for sweets and fatty foods. Furthermore, fiber helps lower blood sugar, which helps manage diabetes, and is linked to the prevention of colon and breast cancer.

The most convenient and consistent way to add more fiber to your daily routine is to eat more whole, raw organic vegetables and fruits in their natural form.

Here is a list of some of the top fiber foods that you can add to your diet:

Apple 1 medium 2.2 grams fiber

Acorn Squash 1 cup cooked 9 grams fiber

Avocado 1 medium 11.84 grams fiber

Black beans 1 cup cooked 14.92 grams fiber

Bran flakes 3/4 cup 5.1 grams fiber

Broccoli 1 cup cooked 10.97 grams fiber

Kale 1 cup cooked 7.20 grams fiber

Kidney beans 1 cup cooked 13.33 grams fiber

Lentils 1 cup cooked 5.6 grams fiber

Navy beans 1 cup cooked 19 grams fiber

Oat Meal 1 cup 4 grams fiber

Orange 1 medium 3.40 grams fiber

Pear 1 medium 5.1 grams fiber

Raspberries 1 cup 8.34 grams fiber

Rice 1 cup cooked 7.98 grams fiber

Spinach 1 cup cooked 4.32 grams fiber

Sweet potato 1 cup cooked 6.94 grams fiber

Whole-wheat spaghetti 1 cup cooked 6.3 grams fiber

This year, add some additional fiber and nutrients to your diet. Make this a lifestyle choice for a healthier new you!

Nutritional Suggestions For Health, Addressing Oxidative Stress, Coronavirus, And Essential Nutrients

Nancy Addison — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 13:10:19 +0000

“Some physicians would rather stand by and see their patient die

than use ascorbic acid,

because in their finite minds it exists only as a vitamin.

Vitamin C is the safest substance available to the physician.”

– Dr. Frederick Klenner

Although all nutrients and minerals are important for optimum health, there are a few nutrients that are critical for good health and a strong immune system.

The coronavirus, as well as other harmful bacteria or viruses, like the flu, are most deadly for people whose immune system is weak. Nutrient-dense foods and supplements can be a way to strengthen and build a stronger immune system that can support overall health and well-being.

Vitamin C is one of those essential nutrients that is at the top of the list for helping to prevent and/or treat numerous health conditions. It is considered essential because our body does not make it and we must obtain it from a food source. It is also a water-soluble nutrient that should be in the diet on a daily basis.

When it comes to infections or a virus such as the flu, it is accepted that vitamin C is part of the immune response and quickly becomes depleted. It helps by encouraging the production of white blood cells that fight disease, by attaching themselves to and killing all of the invading microbes.

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, which is a nutrient that chemically binds and neutralizes the tissue-damaging effects of substances known as free radicals. Vitamin C it is critical to the growth and health of bones, teeth, gums, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C enables the body to efficiently use carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

Quite a few in-depth studies have shown the efficiency of Vitamin C to prevent and treat many diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, polio, dementia, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, viruses, comas, scurvy, and the common cold.

Vitamin C supplements can also reduce the blood levels of lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. These toxic elements have no physiological benefits and can cause great harm.

Vitamin C plays an important role in how our bodies handle physical and emotional stress. With everything that is going on worldwide with this Covid-19 pandemic, many people are feeling stress and anxiety, especially if they are watching mainstream news.

Vitamin C is needed by the adrenal glands to synthesize hormones, and the normally high levels of ascorbic acid in these glands are especially depleted during high-stress situations.

Unfortunately, many vitamin manufacturers that create Vitamin C don’t make Vitamin C in a way that the body can utilize properly. Many of the Vitamin C’s on the market have damaged this fragile vitamin by using techniques with heat, steam, or high pressure grinding. The manufacturers frequently add fillers, additives, and preservatives, which totally deplete the raw materials of all nutritional value. They are commonly synthetic or simply not the quality that the body can use. Synthetic or damaged Vitamin C supplements that are manufactured in this way have little or no effect on the body, because the body does not recognize them as
Vitamin C, but as a mixture of harmful toxins in need of elimination.

Scottish physician James Lind (1716 – 1794) was a pioneer of naval hygiene in the Royal Navy. Having observed the preventive and curative powers of citrus fruits and lemon juice during his years as a naval surgeon, he wrote a treatise recommending their mandatory consumption by British sailors for scurvy prevention and better health.

Then in the 1900s, the meticulous work of Hungarian-born researcher Albert Szent-Györgyi isolated and identified Vitamin C and documented the metabolic mechanism that enables its use within cells. He was recognized with a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937.

Vitamin C really came to the forefront of the public’s attention in the 1970s, when two-time Nobel Prize-winning scientist Linus Pauling published “Vitamin C and the Common Cold.” He had used five to ten grams of Vitamin C a day to help fortify the immune system.

As I have researched further, I have read work by Dr. Thomas E. Levy
(a cardiologist and lawyer), who has used Vitamin C in various forms in his practice. He believes in its incredible healing power so much that
he wrote a book on the subject that medical doctors now use as a guide for their practice. They also can use it in court, if they are questioned or accused of using unsubstantiated medical methods on their patients.

In “Curing the Incurable: Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins,”
3rd Edition by Thomas E. Levy MD JD, he states that the three most
vital factors required to get the most from Vitamin C are: “Dose, Dose, Dose!” He believes vitamin C to be the most powerful antibiotic. (Click here to hear his talk on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0x8CxUKDrc)

According to Dr. Levy, the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin C is 60 mg, which is fine for dietary purposes. But, to get the maximum benefit of this natural anti-microbial, anti-toxin, anti-oxidant we all need much more.

He has researched, cited, and documented work by “Dr. F. R. Klenner, Reidsville, N.C., which is where much of the documented research on Vitamin C emerged.

Dr. Frederick Klenner conducted studies for Viral Pneumonia and treated it with Vitamin C. He documented his treatment for Viral Pneumonia infection in 42 cases over a five-year period. The excellent results
were due to his remedy of Vitamin C IV’s (ascorbic acid) given in large amounts.

When a diagnosis of Viral Pneumonia was entertained, the patient was given 1000 mg. of Vitamin C intravenously every six to twelve hours.
If a diagnosis was established in the home, the usual initial dose was
500 mg. given in the gluteal muscle.

Dr. Klenner also treated polio-myelitis during the 1948 epidemic.
For seven years he treated these polio-myelitis virus infections
and cured them in a period of seventy-two hours, by the employment
of massive frequent injections of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C given I. V. They were given intravenously because the injection was thus made painless and the response was faster.

In infants and very small children however, 500 mg. injected into the gluteal muscle every six to twelve hours was the method of choice.

“In almost every case, the patient felt better within an hour after the first injection and noted a very definite change after two hours. Nausea was relieved by the first injection as was the headache.“

Vitamin C is found in various fresh, organic foods, including citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit; in green vegetables such as watercress, parsley, spinach, broccoli, and cabbage; and in tomatoes and potatoes.

Food processing may degrade or destroy Vitamin C, as can exposure
to air, drying, salting, cooking (especially in copper pots), or processing. (Freezing does not usually cause loss of Vitamin C unless foods are stored for a very long time.)

In modern times, access to fresh fruits and vegetables is common, rendering full-blown cases of vitamin C deficiency relatively rare. Cases are normally limited to isolated elderly adults, and usually men whose diet is limited to foods lacking in Vitamin C, as well as to infants fed reconstituted milk or milk substitutes without a Vitamin C or orange juice supplement. Those with certain illnesses, such as AIDS, cancer or tuberculosis, surgical patients, and those exposed to long periods of cold temperatures can also suffer from Vitamin C insufficiency.”

Dr. Klenner made Vitamin C IV’s his common practice for treating almost all, if not all of his patients. He would have his staff give his new patients a Vitamin C IV first thing, sometimes even before he examined them.

Dr. Levy has taken the study of Vitamin C supplementation further, and now believes we can use various forms of Vitamin C to saturate the cells and tissue, which is read by the body as glucose.

Dr. Levy says to avoid potassium ascorbate and calcium ascorbate.

On page 131 of Dr. Levy’s book “Primal Panacea,” he writes “My clinical experience with Altrient C liposome-encapsulated Vitamin C suggests that the clinical impact of liposome-encapsulated Vitamin C may even exceed the clinical impact of intravenous Vitamin C for some acute infections.”

Liposome C is currently the form of Vitamin C that Dr. Levy likes best because it can be absorbed well. He says that Liposome C in a dose of 5 gm is equivalent to 50 gm of Vitamin C in an IV solution. Dr. Levy advises to “take as many forms (meaning IV, Oral supplements, and fresh fruits and vegetables) of Vitamin C as possible”

He says that Oral Vitamin C can help neutralize toxins in the gut.
He goes on to say that Vitamin C will help get a lot of bowel problems resolved and give probiotics a chance to re-establish themselves in the gut, which is where the majority of our probiotics (which make up the immune system) reside.

According to Dr. Levy, acutely ill patients all have a different oxidative stress load, which is what he says causes most diseases. But the basic principle of pushing the Vitamin C level high and keeping it high, even if you don’t resolve the infectious disease or you don’t resolve the chronic disease with this first Vitamin C IV, it will still help the patient to feel better and put them on the road to better health.

There are numerous studies that prove that an incredible number of diseases are mediated by oxidative stress in the body. Antioxidants may play a pivotal role in preventing or slowing the progression of diseases.

Antioxidants have also been seen to reduce the development of asthmatic symptoms and oxidative stress. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Beta Carotene are all antioxidants. Supplementation of these has been associated with improved lung function.

In addition to taking Vitamin C, I have been taking a supplement for the past few years that has been proven to reduce oxidative stress in the body by 40% in 30 days. (I take it along with Protandim NRF 1 and NAD, which I think makes it provide even more health advantages.)

(My link for the supplement is: https://nancyaddison.lifevantage.com/us-en/)

These 3 supplemental technologies (Protandim Nrf2, Protandim Nrf1 and NAD) are all clinically shown to protect against viruses.

NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a molecule found in every cell in the body. NAD is used to power your metabolism by enabling the mitochondria, which provide the power of the cell, which in turn converts the food we eat into the energy our body needs to sustain all its functions.

NAD is a bacteria nutrient, B 3. NAD was researched by David Sinclair of Harvard, when he started studying resveratrol (an antioxidant in red grapes and red wine) and it’s anti-aging effects. His lab made headlines by reporting that the mitochondria in the muscles of elderly mice were restored to a youthful state after just a week of injections with NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a molecule that naturally occurs in cells and, like NR, boosts levels of NAD.

Studies show that NAD fuels the activity of sirtuins, including SIRT3. Sirtuins are a family of proteins that regulate cellular health.
Sirtuins play a key role in regulating cellular homeostasis.

Homeostasis involves keeping the cell in balance. What studies are showing is that the more NAD there is in cells, the more SIRT1 does beneficial things. One of those things is to induce formation of new mitochondria. When NAD activates SIRT3, this is thought to keep mitochondria running smoothly

In conclusion, eating one medium orange will provide almost double the daily amount of Vitamin C at 70 mg, and two medium tomatoes will hit the goal at 20 mg each.

Dr. Levy says that in tests, Vitamin C has worked against every virus, if given in a sufficient concentration.

Dr Mike Skinner, a virologist at Imperial College London, says we won’t know Vitamin C’s value against coronavirus for some time, and says the dose being tested is ‘massive’. ‘They’re doing the trials now.

The addition of Vitamin C, in its many forms, is incredibly beneficial for restoring health to the body.

Dr. Levy stated that adding some magnesium to the body is also very important, as the body is commonly low in magnesium as well. You can do this by taking a magnesium chloride flake bath or using topical cream.
In this way you can give your body some good tools to use in order to create better health.
