My Personal Use of Escharotics by Talking With Tina

August 20, 2006

A few months back I learned about something called Compound X or Black Salve or Cansema and a host of other names. The vast majority of these product recipes are derived from the Native Americans and the Bloodroot plant. There are a gazillion places online to find detailed information on these as they claim to be able to remove Moles and Skin Tags as well as Cancer and Tumors. According to much of the information I find, the F.D.A. has a huge issue with this particular natural remedy. It doesn't take long to figure out why! I have supplied a story about a truly incredible healing (one of many available through the Internet) using one of these products and you'll find it on the Cancer page. Here are some pictures of this interesting plant. I think you'll find it easy to understand how it got it's name!

 So the reason I'm going into detail about this is because I've had this little freckle...that turned into a bigger freckle...that turned into a mole...that keeps getting bigger and stranger, looking and feeling. I contacted my good friend in South Dakota and she kindly sent me a sample of this "X" to try before buying it. What better place to try it out than on my tattoo mole?! It's grown right on the edge of a beautiful (and very spiritual) tattoo I had done 10 years ago...see?

Day one...before applying "X"           Day 2...First application of "X"        

    Day one "before" of skin-toned Clavicle mole.    Day 4 of same mole with "X" treatment.

Day 3 now becoming very tender and developing a whitish halo around edge. Keeping it protected with one bandage and from drying out with a second. I'm not going to give you any recipes or directions as this is a first for me and I'm working with one particular formula. Besides...I would never TELL you to do anything as the choice is always yours, right!? ;) BTW, from what I've been reading, it says that if it's a Cancer there's usually a satellite mole (look just below and slightly right of mine...hmmm).

              Day 4 before bathing (mirror reflection)...       Day 4 after bathing...

              Much more red/tender/swollen.            This shower has triggered the "Dead White" halo.

Day 5 before my 6th application of "X". Super close up of arm eschar (L) (pronounced s-Kar') with increasing white halo. Close up of clavicle eschar (R). This one is beginning to separate at the top left (see the slight redness?). The pain is becoming more intense and consistent, but I took 2 Ibuprofen before bed last night and slept right through!

August 22, 8PM

A little voice inside me told me that today was the day to stop "X". So 8 hours after my 6th application on both sites, I carefully rinsed off the "X" and put some well deserved Vitamin E Oil  (32,000 I.U.) on the surrounding skin. If you're sensitive to latex, you might want to plan ahead and purchase Band-Aids for Sensitive Skin (latex free). I then applied 2x3" non-stick (but self adhesive) Telfa pads. My plan is to go overnight and see what the next 12 hours brings. I will apply the E oil to both eschars in the morning, so that they don't dry out (less chance of getting ripped away from the skin and better healing). I've read about people putting on Vaseline. I chose not to use a petroleum product.

Days 4 & 5 were by far, the most painful.

August 23, 9PM

I've cleaned both sites with Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) 2 times this day and recovered with fresh Telfa pads. On the 2nd cleaning, I saw that the clavicle site was oozing a thick brownish substance (this is not uncommon). The guess is that the eschar may come off within the next couple of days. As far as the arm goes...it HURTS (but so does surgery). Be aware that Black Salves are NOT Gentle Healers! They are very potent and should be used with extreme care. If you don't know how to use them and have no one that can coach you (as I did), all I can say is DO YOUR HOMEWORK and Don't wing it.

August 25, Day 6

The last two day's the Eschars have been doing a lot of oozing and required much cleaning and covering. There was also a significant amount more pain on the arm and it was very swollen and red! But once the oozing increased, the pain and redness subsided a lot.  I want to point out a few things: first, I HIGHLY suggest "Sensitive Skin" coverings for anyone who does this. The removal and reapplication of band aids is (at times) more painful than the eschar! Secondly, remember how the original clavicle mole was so small in appearance. Apparently the "X" found more going on than was visually observed. Finally, the "Black ring of Saturn" (as I've called it) on the arm eschar started as little dark dots, that continually connected. As it dries up an gets harder, I believe the ring may completely connect. Again...we'll see!

Super close up of clavicle eschar, which is coming along very nicely.

Close up of arm eschar. Note the oozing at top & bottom, beginning at the lower right quadrant. It's separating very clearly around the edges. As well as the separating at the top.

Mega close up of arm eschar!

August 26, 2006  Life Sized Photo

Day 7...Clearly visible is the eschar's complete circular separation.

I'm hoping it will fall off painlessly within the next 48-72 hours.

August 29, Day 10

I have been taking extraordinary care of both Eschar's in regards to keeping them cleaned out with Hydrogen Peroxide and keeping the coverings fresh. The clavicle eschar simply looks like a scab on a scraped knee at this time. I find the arm eschar more interesting. While it is clearly separated around the border, the center has remained attached. This makes me wonder how deeply the root might go. It also makes me realize that simply having a mole burned off (by a Physician), may not do the trick and it may only return. Regarding the probability of scarring. I don't expect it to be any worse than my childhood vaccinations scar.

 While it looks raw red, it is not bleeding or painful anymore. You can still see the original Mole as

the dark round spot, dead center of the eschar.. In this side view you can tell that new healthy skin is growing up under the eschar, thus raising it. It will soon fall off. Looks like a hockey puck!

August 30, Day 11...

                                   A                                                               B

 A) Almost ready to detach. You can see the "roots" of the mole. They look much more stringy in person, but I think you get the idea. The eschar was moving around a lot as I was letting the HP run over it. I was being VERY careful not to detach it myself. It NEEDS to come of by itself. I really believe that it will in the next 12-24 hours.

B) The clavicle eschar has actually loosened on one side. I expect it to come off very soon!

September 1, Day 13...

YIPPEE! Clavicle eschar came off and was already completely healed underneath (see photo below)! This super mega close up shows that the eschar was about 5/16ths of an inch. The photo below is near life-sized. The scar is at the top half of the picture (the more pink circle) That yellowish diagonal line is raw skin (from band aids) reacting to Hydrogen Peroxide. Get yourself some SENSITIVE SKIN coverings!!!  When the eschar finally did come off, there was a very deep rooted Spiritual sensation.

 Also, remember that a  scab is nature's band aid so DO NOT be in any rush to take it off.

Plainly visible is the root of this mole's eschar. It almost looks like an optical nerve attached to an eyeball! I really thought that this would be off by now, but I have come to realize a few things: I am not a Physician...HOWEVER, I do not believe that burning this off would have killed this root. Look at it! It is so deep under the skin. This type of healing is indeed a very Spiritual and contemplative thing. You must have patience and let the Herbs and your Body work their course in harmony...at their own speed and in their own manner. No two will be the same.

Sept. 2, Day 14

11PM...So Happy...the arm eschar has just come off during the before bed cleaning ceremonies! No blood and already the healed skin is growing from the rim towards the center. The shininess in the pictures is from Vitamin E oil, and the red circle that you see at the top veering right towards the bottom is the torn up and sore skin from the band aids and adhesive Telfa pads.

That was where the last root  threads were attached like an umbilical cord to my arm.

< Completely healed after one year. Like I figured, it's no worse than my childhood vaccination scar (which happens to be hidden directly on the bridge of my tattoo's Wolf nose).

Miracle in Los Angeles

Blessed Virgin Mary Appears Enshrouded in Light in Front of Vassula Ryden during a Talk She Gave in January

January 18, 2009. First day of the "Week of Prayer for Christian Unity" participated by all major Christian Churches worldwide. Also, the birthday of Vassula Ryden - who for more than 23 years has been receiving genuine Messages from Jesus Christ.

Her Mission, as Jesus has instructed her ... "Revive My House, Embellish My House, Unite My House." and to tell the world all that He has to say.

She has, since the beginning of her call and conversion in 1985, been invited to speak at almost 900 meetings in 73 coutries and 6 conitinents. Here, in these photos, she is speaking at one such a meeting in Los Angeles, California, USA to about 500 people who came to hear the miracluous story and to find out for themseleves what Jesus is telling the world TODAY.

Signs and Miracles have always accompanied Vassula's mission and meetings. Some small. Some large. Some seen by some. Some seen by all. On this occasion, as I will show you in the following photos, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in front of Vassula during her talk and illuminated the entire room ... and that's not all.

Blessed Virgin Mary appears in front of Vassula

"I saw a very thick and beautiful golden aura around her when she was speaking to us and a very bright golden light behind her. On one occasion, I saw the Virgin Mary to her right and three times I saw the Virgin with a golden veil and a light golden facial complexion to Vassula's left side in front of her."

Flavonoids are frequently recognised as “flower pigments” in angiosperm plants. Their occurrence is not restricted to flowers; they are also found in all other parts of plants. Approximately 5000 flavonoids have been reported in the literature. Most of them have a molecular skeleton composed of 15 carbon atoms, subdivided in {6+9} carbon atoms. The molecular part with 6 carbon atoms is made up from a phenolic moiety, substituted with one or more hydroxy or methoxy functionalities. The second part has a cinnamic acid moiety as the building block, also substituted with one or more hydroxy or methoxy functionalities. The hydroxy groups may be glycosylated; the sugar moiety may be a neutral sugar or an acidic sugar although the last group less frequently occurs. We previously reported in an extensive review on the chemical identity of flavonoids (E.E.Brand-Garnys, et al., Cosmetics and Toiletries Manufacturing Worldwide, Aston Publishing, London, 2001).

Virtually all flavonoids exhibit physiological activity and their properties are undergoing research for pharmaceutical applications. Their application in personal care and cosmetic products is useful, and ground-breaking. It should be emphasised that the use of flavonoids as anti-oxidants is inferior to their other properties; many flavonoids are antiviral agents and are able to manipulate enzyme activity. This property is frequently utilised in anti-ageing products. Furthermore flavonoids have been shown to affect various cancer lines and are currently undergoing clinical testing, frequently with unexpectedly positive results.

Sometimes flavonoids also show adverse reactions, particularly in the presence of sunlight. Psoralens such as angelicin, bergapten and imperatorin are particularly notorious. These are subject to [2+2] photochemical cycloadditions to genetic material, disabling cell reproduction. The use of Peru Balsam (Myroxylon Toluifera Pereirae) is too well-known to require further documentation. Tangerine oil, cassia oil, grapefruit oil, parsley oil, rue oil, styrax, oakmoss extract and marigold oil are less well known for their psoralen content. These products are restricted to topical use when a direct interaction with sunlight can be expected. There is a strict prohibition on the use of melissa oil, verbena oil, costus oil, fig leaf absolute and opoponax oil.

1. Baicalein/baicalin: antiviral properties

Baicalein (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone) is a flavon found in Scutellaria baicalensis (Baikal skullcap), largely as its glycoside with glucuronic acid (coupled on the 7-postion; baicalin). Baikal skullcap is used in gardens because of its beautiful flowers though despite its relationship with the mint family both flowers and leaves are virtually odour-free.

Baicalein/baicalin have been described as the most significant non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI). Reverse transcriptases are enzymes that enable viruses to invade healthy cells and duplicate themselves. Inhibition of reverse transcriptases can be inhibited by nucleotide analogues (NRTI’s; FDA approved since 1985). Baicalein and baicalin have also been shown to inhibit reverse transcriptases, such as in the case of HIV-1, without side reactions.

Viruses actually use only two enzymes; reverse transcriptases and integrases. Integrases enable the integration of the viral DNA with the host chromosome. Like reverse transcriptases, integrases are vulnerable to inhibition (E.E.Brand-Garnys, H.M.Brand, SPC, 2003). Chlorogenic acids (CA) are precursors for flavonoids; 3,5-Dicaffeoyl quinic acid (a CA) found in Carqueja (Baccharis trimera) was reported to be a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 integrase in vitro at dosages as low as 1 mcg/ml (W.E.Robinson, et al., Proc.Natl.Acad. Sci.USA 93, 6326, (1996)).

The usable part of Baikal skullcap is the root. The pharmacological activity has been attributed to baicalin, baicalein, and to a lesser extent to wogonin and scutellarein. These flavonoids all appear to bind to particular receptors with benzodiazepine-like effects (K.M.Hui, X.H.Wang, H.Xue. Planta Med., 66,91,2000; J.F.Liao, H.H.Wang, M.C.Chen, Planta Med., 64,571,1998). Baicalein has weak antipyretic properties and there are indications that it also has anti-mutagenic alpha-glucosidase activity.

Baicalin has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-tumour properties. Some evidence suggests it can inhibit tumour growth and suppress carcinoma cell proliferation. Baicalein and baicalin are reported to be far more active as free-radical scavengers than e.g., d,l-α-tocopherol. Baikal skullcap has antibacterial and antiviral properties, as well as antifungal activity, particularly against Candida albicans. It has been suggested that Scutellaria extract can be used as preservative, although broad spectrum activity is subject to discussion.

Baikal skullcap, usually addressed a Scutellaria, has been listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia for centuries. Its dried roots, better known as ‘Oughon’, were valued for their anti-inflammatory action. Oughon was much sought after by noblewomen, as its helped to give them a radiant, porcelain-like complexion. Today, it is still used in cosmetology for this reason (citation: Clarins).

Baikal skullcap can probably be considered to be the flagship, but there are many other flavonoids that also exhibit antiviral properties. (An incomplete anthology is given in Table 1.). In spite of this, it should be noted that flavonoids are not usually suitable for the treatment of viral infections. The elapsed time for the activity of flavonoids to become noticeable or measurable is usually longer than the response time of the human body to produce antibodies to eliminate viruses. However, from a prophylactic point of view flavonoids are extremely powerful and totally ignored by traditional medicine.

Naturally occurring flavonoids with antiviral activity have been recognized since the 1940s. In recent times attempts have been made to modify naturally occurring flavonoids to improve antiviral activity. Quercetin, morin, rutin, taxifolin, dihydrofisetin, apigenin charts:

From the February 2008 Idaho Observer:

We are presently being exposed to thousands of toxic compounds in the form of inorganic chemicals and toxic metals. As mentioned in previous columns, these substances are everywhere: The air we breathe, the foods we eat, the water we drink and bathe in, as well as drugs, vaccines, cleaning products, paints, solvents, glues, herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers.

Due to this constant exposure, our bodies are now storing hundreds of these toxic metals and chemicals. Studies indicate that we have between 400 and 800 toxic metal and chemical residues stored in our bodies. They accumulate in our fat cells, in our major organs such as the liver, kidneys and brain; in our glands such as the thyroid and adrenals; and throughout our central nervous system.

For some revealing chemical facts go to www.evenbetternow.com/index.asp

There are 34,000 pesticides and herbicides registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as 65,000 other chemicals. Over one-fourth of the 4 billion pounds of pesticides used in the world annually are used in the United States. Each year, 10,000 chemicals are being synthesized by industry and added to the over 1 million already in existence.

Environmental toxins are chemical toxins that come into our bodies via air, water, food or direct contact with the skin. Virtually all of us are now in a state of toxic overload from environmental toxins. Small toxic exposures each day (from common sources such as breakfast cereal, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, perfume, deodorant, hair dye, newspapers, magazines, exhaust fumes, carpets, new mattresses, dry cleaning or a newly-painted bedroom) will increasingly exceed and even incapacitate our body’s ability to detoxify. This causes these chemicals to accumulate to levels that will make us sick.

Most people make little effort to avoid toxins because officially-established tolerances presume that toxin levels are within safe limits. Unless we make deliberate choices to avoid or minimize toxic exposures, we are constantly eating foods with trace toxins, drinking water with trace toxins, using personal products with trace toxins and breathing toxic air. By the end of each day, these toxic contaminants often reach a substantial cumulative total. EPA scientists found that the total toxic residues in our daily diet can exceed 500 percent of the recommended daily maximum—even if each individual exposure is within "safe" limits!

Most pesticides, herbicides and fungicides accumulate in fatty tissues and tend to settle in the bones. Fluoride builds up in the brain, thyroid and bones. Once in these storage sites, they can remain for decades or even a lifetime. Several studies have shown that the average person—no matter where that person lives (even in the Arctic regions)—has 40 to 75 organic chemical residues located in fat tissue—including the breast tissue in women.

The accumulation of these toxic chemicals and metals results in our body not being able to assimilate and utilize essential minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium. This causes enzyme dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, neurological disorders, damage to brain chemistry, and can even lead to auto-immune disorders, cancer, and other debilitating chronic conditions.

In order to lessen the body’s burden of toxins, we can consciously attempt to minimize exposures by choices we make in eating, drinking and by avoiding chemical exposures wherever possible. We can also do a few simple, inexpensive things to help remove toxins from our tissues.

The importance of alkalizing body pH

Purchasing pH strips or sticks for measuring the body’s acid/alkaline balance is one of the most effective tools in determining our overall state of health as well as our body’s ability to flush out the chemicals and metals innundating us daily. The body’s oxygen saturation level is determined by its overall pH. The body must be slightly alkaline for its cells to be properly oxygenated. The pH scale goes from zero to 14 with zero being purely acid, 14 being purely alkaline and 7 being "neutral" pH.

Without exception, people who have cancer, auto-immune diseases, or heavy metal and chemical poisoning also have an overall body pH below 7.0, which means that their cells are not being properly oxygenated, leading to an accumulation of toxins. The ideal body pH is 7.4 but people who are actively using naturopathic principles in detoxifying try to keep their pH a bit more alkaline for a period of time since cancer cells cannot survive in a body with a pH of 8.0.

Bentonite Clay

One of the most effective and inexpensive means of pulling all kinds of chemicals and heavy metals out of the body is through clay baths. Although we covered this topic extensively in "Clay: The Healing Underground" (The IO, Back to Basics, February, 2005), there are many aspects of clay and bentonite clay in particular that deserve repeating:

Bentonite comes in a variety of "flavors." You can buy an industrial bentonite at the feed store for about $6 for a 50-pound bag. This is usually sodium montmorillonite. This is a low-quality bentonite used for ponds, sealing wells, making paper, cat litter and so on. Sodium bentonite clay swells, sometimes up to 18 times its dry size when it becomes wet. I keep a bag of this on hand for emergencies.

What do I mean by emergencies? This material is used to patch dams. If you cut your leg with a chainsaw, powdered bentonite will help stop the bleeding.

The best clay for detoxification is calcium montmorillonite. It is also known as "living clay," for it principally consists of minerals that enhance the production of enzymes in all living organisms. It swells zero to little, is a source of highly-absorbable minerals and absorbs radiation. Smart farmers feed it to their livestock. It treats several veterinary diseases, animals gain more weight on less feed and production skyrockets.

Ascorbates

Vitamin C is the most common "vitamin" deficiency seen today since our ability to neutralize the effects of pollutants depends upon the daily intake of vitamin C (or buffered mineral ascorbates) in an assimilable form. Ascorbates are also very effective detoxifiers of heavy metals and chemical poisons. Ascorbates have detoxifying effects on lead, mercury, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, various carcinogens, bacterial toxins and poisons; and it protects us from benzene exposure. Only people who eat an all raw foods diet of freshly picked and naturally ripened fruits and vegetables as well as sprouted seeds and grains will be giving their bodies the amount of vitamin C their bodies need daily. If you live in a city, your body’s daily vitamin C requirements may be as much as 10 grams a day.

Minerals

Most people today are deficient in magnesium. The importance of magnesium cannot be overstated since it is a critical element in over 325 biochemical reactions in the human body. Since it is magnesium that controls the fate of potassium and calcium in the body, if magnesium is insufficient, potassium and calcium will be lost in the urine and calcium will be deposited in the soft tissues (kidneys, arteries, joints, brain, etc.)

Magnesium protects the cells from absorbing aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel. Evidence is mounting that low levels of magnesium contribute to the heavy metal deposition in the brain that precedes Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. Researchers have found that children with both learning disabilities and heavy metal toxicity have low total body magnesium.

So how much magnesium is needed for optimal health and to balance the calcium, phosphorus and potassium intakes? Dr. Emmanuel Cheraskin found through clinical experience nearly 30 years ago that 400 mg. daily for a 150-pound adult is ideal. However, today we are experiencing more problems associated with magnesium deficiency so it is best to evaluate your lifestyle to determine whether you are depleting magnesium from your body by drinking coffee, alcohol, soda pop, refined carbohydrates, excessive sodium and/or high levels of calcium intake (which blocks magesium absorption).

We have found that when the body receives the proper balance of bio-available minerals, these same minerals not only protect the body from heavy metals, aluminum and chemical exposure, but also have the ability to displace and remove from the body these same toxins the body has been storing. This is likely the reason that "living clay" taken both internally and externally is so successful in rapidly removing these toxins from the body.

Herbs

There are numerous plants God has given us that aid in detoxification while feeding various organ systems. It is important to remember that the liver is the main organ of detoxification and needs to be supported when undergoing any regimen to remove heavy metals and chemicals from the body (see "Your Liver – The body’s chemical factory and detoxifier," The IO, Back to Basics, March, 2007).

Algin derived from seaweeds such as kelp, dulse and algaes such as chlorella provide protection from many of today’s pollutants. Canadian researchers have found that algin can prevent living tissue from absorbing radioactive materials, including strontium-90, barium, mercury, aluminum, tin, cadmium, zinc and manganese. Strontium-90 is so dangerous because it has an affinity for calcium and will accumulate in food substances that are high in calcium such as milk and green leafy vegetables. Such contaminated calcium carries strontium-90 directly to the bones where it damages bone marrow. Kelp has been shown to block strontium-90 from being absorbed by the body. Kelp particles (sodium alginates) strip the metal ions from the calcium molecule forming insoluable salts that are then eliminated from the body (Source: The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine, by Daniel B. Mowrey, 1986, p. 88).

Dr. John R. Christopher’s "heavy mineral formula" has helped thousands recover from stored pharmaceutical drugs and environmental pollutants. It contains bugleweed, yellow dock and lobelia. In a recent version of this formula, cilantro has been added. The School of Natural Healing’s protocol is to take this formula with chaparral, an extremely potent blood purifier. In addition, it is recommended that you bathe every other day adding 1 to 3 pounds of Epsom salts in a bath of of hot water. This bathing routine is recommended for three weeks, then resting a week before resuming the bathing routine, while continuing to take the "heavy mineral formula" with the chaparral the entire time (see "Chaparral: Nature’s Detergent for the Body," The IO, Back to Basics, August, 2000).

The following information was compiled by Dr. Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD of www.naturodoc.com:

Cilantro—also known as coriander or Chinese parsley—has been proven to chelate toxic metals from our bodies in a relatively short period of time.

Combined with the benefits of the other ingredients, the following recipe for Cilantro Chelation Pesto is a powerful tissue cleanser. It is easy to make, and also really tasty. It’s delicious on toast, baked potatoes, and pasta.

Two teaspoons of this cilantro pesto daily for three weeks is purportedly enough to increase the urinary excretion of mercury, lead, and aluminum, thus effectively removing these toxic metals from our bodies. Consider doing this cleanse for three weeks at least once a year.

• 4 cloves garlic

• 1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium source)

• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds

(cysteine source)

• 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc,

magnsium sources)

• 2 cups packed fresh cilantro

(coriander, Chinese parsley)

(Vitamin A source)

• 2/3 cup flaxseed oil

• 4 tablespoons lemon juice

(Vitamin C source)

• 2 tsp. Dulse powder

• Bragg’s Liquid Aminos™

Process the cilantro and flaxseed oil in a blender until the cilantro is chopped. Add the garlic, nuts, and seeds, dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. Add a squirt of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos to taste and blend again. Store in dark glass jars if possible. It freezes well, so purchase cilantro in season and fill enough jars to last through the year.

One person suffering from high blood pressure due to mercury poisoning had her blood pressure return to normal after eating 2 teaspoons of this pesto daily for only a week. So whether you need to detoxify heavy metals from your body or just wish to use it as a preventative measure, 2 teaspoons a day is all you need to take.

According to our holistic dentist, Italian parsley has the same effect as cilantro in removing mercury from the body.

Summary

After reviewing the evidence proving that poisoning from aluminum, heavy-metals, and hundreds of chemicals is rampant, it is clear that, for self-preservation, we must incorporate a lifestyle change that involves regular cleansing rituals and a living foods diet. We have shown that environmental pollutants are a major cause of hormonal imbalances, cancer, thyroid problems, neurological disturbances, learning disabilities, memory loss, depression, food allergies, and parasites. The value of colon and kidney cleansing, and liver flushes hasn’t been discussed enough. If we are going to do more than survive the coming changes, becoming a conscious consumer and gardener now will initiate the reverse of the poisoning and start the healing our troubled planet.
