Q & A: Excema – Back to Health Basics

Healthy Solutions, Questions and Answers, Skin Health, , , , , ,

Question:

Good morning,  I hope all is well for you!
What do we have that would be great for eczema? I have someone inquiring.
Much love , JS

Answer:

I have a couple of articles on my website, which I have copied direct links to, below. I did a search for excema, in top Right hand corner search bar.  You will see from these that different approaches were used – all with success, so it definitely depends on the person, their particular cause(s), their diet, level of stress, etc. Sorry there is not one simple answer, like “take this pill”. That’s how drugs are used, not natural healing, as you know.

 

Skin conditions are an external reflection of what’s going on internally.
You can begin to positively affect most health conditions by addressing the basics of digestion, assimilation and elimination. Once those are working better, and healthy dietary habits, such as those listed in my book are implemented, better health follows. The optimum dietary recommendations suggested in my Paw Paw Program that are used for cancer are the same dietary suggestions for health.

Digestion and Assimilation:

  • enzymes – either Digestive Enzymes (Food Enzymes – US)  or Garden Essence (Proactazyme – US). Both of these are full spectrum, meaning they digest proteins, starches, fats, cellulose, etc.
  • Probiotoic 11 .  Contains eleven strains to promote healthy gut  micro-biome.

Elimination:

  • making sure one has 2-3 healthy bowel movements per day. This may mean using a formula such as Bowel Build on a daily basis for several months. With a  good bowel building and toning product,  as your bowel gets healthier, you need less of it.
  • cleansing is always important.  Three of the best suited cleanses to choose from are : Clean Start, Detox Basics or Tiao He Pak. 

 

Topically, for relief of pain and itching, as well as to promote healing, I would also consider adding an Essential Oil blend, such as Core or Refuge to either Silver Gel, Pau D’Arco Lotion Nature’s Fresh Enzyme Spray or Aloe Vera Gel. Sorry to give you so many choices, but different strokes for different folks.

Why Detoxify?

Cancer, Colon/Cleansing, , , , , , , ,

WHY DETOXIFY YOUR BODY?

Simply stated, disease will not survive in a body that is oxygenated, is pH balanced, has a clean, toxin free liver, a vibrant lymphatic and a strong immune system.  In other words have a clean, healthy and well-nourished body to keep disease at bay.

In the book “Bio-Nutrition – Winning the War Within” by Dr. Ray Strand, he states that all diseases start decades before raising their ugly heads.  It is the accumulative effect of our bad habits for years previous that eventually catches up to us.  A lifetime of eating the wrong foods, too little exercise, smoking, alcohol and caffeine consumption, unnecessary drug use, stress and air pollution will eventually take its toll.  We seem to think we are invincible.

Detoxifying our body is one step in the prevention of disease & weight loss.  If there are too many chemicals in the foods we eat, in the liquids we drink, in the air we breathe and with poisons coming in contact with our skin, our liver will not be able to keep up with the job of detoxifying for years and years on end.  It gets tired.  Did you know that it takes 24 hours for your liver to detoxify one cup of coffee?  Consider all the other toxins your body comes in contact with in a day.  The liver cannot handle all of it so it stores it in our fat cells hoping to get to it later. Do you see why you cannot lose weight?  Our body needs the fat as storage compartments for toxins!

Consider all that is referred to as a “cancer hit.”  These are the toxic preservatives, artificial flavours and other man made chemicals found in the foods we eat, the bus and car fumes we breathe in and the first or second hand smoke.  It’s the personal care products we use on our skin everyday and the clothes we wear made with chemicals and dyes and laundered in chemicals to keep them ‘clean.’  Everywhere we turn; our bodies are exposed to major disease hits.  We can easily be exposed to 25 chemicals before breakfast, so we are in big trouble by day’s end.

Lorene Benoit’s  book:  “The Paw Paw Program – A Christopher Columbus Approach to Cancer” teaches people to understand the causes of cancer and necessary steps for health. With this this knowledge one can take preventative steps as well as  learning the natural approach to treatment if one already has cancer. This book is for everyone – what applies to cancer applies to ALL chronic health conditions!

After a period of time, our liver becomes full of the toxins that it was not able to detoxify and the lymph becomes a swamp of toxins and heavy metals when it tries to help.  One of the liver’s functions is to clean blood and return it to the heart where it can be pumped to all the cells with nourishment.  Instead, the cells are being fed toxins.  Keep in mind that this same toxic mess in your blood travels to all parts of your body, including your brain.  Want to know why you are forgetful with poor long and short-term memory loss?  Yes, these toxins are in your brain cells.

The kidneys, another major eliminative organ and chemical balancer, also become stressed.

One way of helping the liver, lymphatic system and kidneys is to allow our bodies to sweat.  We however, clog our sweat pores with anti-perspirants and chemical laden soaps in our showers and baths, and in addition, add even more toxins by drinking and washing in chlorinated water.  When the lymphatic system is full of toxins and is unable to rid of them, these toxins begin to leach back into our body.  Then the immune system gets involved, trying to fight these toxins.  Due to the heavy toxic load, it cannot possibly manage and becomes stressed along with the liver kidneys and lymph.

We now have a perfect scenario for disease.

So…. DETOXIFY ANYWAY YOU CAN!  DO IT NOW AND DO IT OFTEN!

  • Help your body to detoxify by doing a 10- 30 day overall body cleanse at least 2X/year. We use both individual programs and packaged herbal cleanses to simplify this. Contact our office to get you started safe detoxing today.
  • Use fibre in your diet.  Drink lots of water.  Add mineral and antioxidant supplements.
  • Cut back on the toxins your body comes in contact with.  Every small bit helps.
  • Include physical and spiritual exercise daily for body, mind and soul. KEEP CLEAN!
  • Consider a foot detoxification spa, infra red sauna, or epsom salt and baking soda bath to fast track detoxifying the lymphatic system.
  • Replace toxic chemicals in the home and personal care products. Use: NS Concentrate biodegradable cleanser, Irish Moss Lotion, Crystal Clear Deodorant spray (Canada only), Silver Gel, Nature’s Fresh Enzyme Spray – for odors, stains, pain, skin – many uses!

Contact our office if you have questions about cleansing, or would like recommendations for a cleanse tailored to your needs: email us at  TakeTheNaturalPath@gmail.com  and ask for cleansing information.We believe in personal service.

And for optimum health, follow the lifestyle & dietary recommendations in Lorene Benoit’s  book:  “The Paw Paw Program – A Christopher Columbus Approach to Cancer”

To your health!

How Old Do You Think You Are?

Colon/Cleansing, Diet, Super Foods, , ,

It might surprise you, but you’re probably much younger than you think you are, according to Dr. Jonas Frisen, a stem cell biologist at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, who invented a method for estimating the age of human cells. If you’re middle-aged, Frisen estimates your average cellular age is just 10 years old or less. This is because most of your body’s tissues regenerate over your lifetime. As it turns out, according to Dr. Frisen’s novel method for estimating age, the average age of all cells in an adult’s body  is as young as seven to 10 years of age. Read on to see how the cells in the different areas of your body age…you’ll be surprised at just how young you really are!

 

Liver Age: 5 months

The liver is known for its amazing capacity to repair and regrow itself thanks to its rich blood supply.

“I can take 70 percent of a person’s liver away in an operation and around 90 percent of it will grow back within two months,” explains David Lloyd, liver surgeon at Leicester Royal Infirmary in England.

 

Taste Bud Age: 10 days

The tongue is covered with around 9,000 taste buds and each of them is a collection of cells on the surface of the tongue, each housing about 50 taste cells. The buds renew themselves approximately every ten days. However, their sensitivity can be damaged by inflammation from infections and smoking.

 

Brain Age: Same as your current age

Most of our cells that last a lifetime are found in the brain, explains John Wadley, consultant neurosurgeon at Barts and the London Hospital. “We are born with all the brain cells we’ll ever have—around 100 billion—and most of the brain does not regenerate as it gets older. There are, however, two areas of the brain that do regenerate,” says Mr Wadley. “The olfactory bulb that governs our sense of smell, and the hippocampus, which is an area for learning and memory.”

 

Heart Age: 20 years

Until recently it was thought the heart couldn’t renew itself. However, a study at New York Medical College found it is actually dotted with stem cells that constantly rejuvenate it—at least three or four times over a lifetime, says researchers.

 

Lung Age: 2-3 weeks

The cells in the lungs constantly renew themselves, explains Dr Keith Prowse, vice-president of the British Lung Foundation.

However, the lungs contain different cells that renew at different rates. The alveoli or air sac cells deep in the lungs have a steady progress of regeneration that takes about a year. Meanwhile, the cells on the lungs’ surface have to renew every two or three weeks. “These are the lungs’ first line of defence, so have to be able to renew quickly,” says Dr Prowse. The lung disease emphysema can prevent this regeneration as it begins with the destruction of the alveoli, which creates permanent ‘holes’ in the walls of the lungs.

 

Eye Age: Same as your current age

Your eyes are one of the few body parts that don’t really change during your life.The only part that is constantly being renewed is the cornea, the transparent top layer. If this is damaged, it can recover in as little as 24 hours, says Dr Rob Hogan, president of the College of Optometrists.

 

Skin Age: 2-4 weeks

The epidermis or surface layer of the skin is renewed every two to four weeks. This rapid turnover occurs because skin is the body’s outer protection and is exposed to injury as well as pollution. Despite this constant renewal, we still get wrinkles as we get older. That’s because the skin loses collagen and its elasticity as you age.

 

Bone Age: 10 years

The skeleton is constantly replacing itself, explains Dr Peter Selby, an osteoporosis expert based at Manchester Royal Infirmary. It takes around ten years to do this completely. At any one time we have a mixture of old and new bone as the turnover rates differ throughout the body.

 

Intestine Age: 2-3 days

Your intestines are lined with villi— tiny, finger-like branches that increase the surface area and help the intestine to absorb nutrients. They have a very high turnover rate and can be replaced every two to three days, explains Tom MacDonald, professor of immunology at Barts and the London Medical School. A protective layer of mucus membrane also lines the intestine, that renews itself every three to five days.

 

Red Blood Cell Age: 4 months

Blood cells carry oxygen to living tissue and carry away waste. They wear out every four months, after which the liver removes any remaining iron that is needed for healthy red blood cells before the remaining cell is destroyed in the spleen. Since they can also be lost through injury and menstruation, the body is constantly making more.

 

Hair Age: 3-6 years

The age of your hair depends on how long it is, but it generally grows 1 cm each month, explains hair restoration  surgeon, Dr Bessam Farjo. Each individual hair lasts up to six years in women and three years in men. Eyebrows and eyelashes are renewed every six to eight weeks, but a repeatedly plucked brow stops growing because plucking disrupts the growth cycle.

 

So what’s the benefit of knowing all this? One thing is that with proper nutrition, assimilation and elimination, we CAN BE GROWING YOUNGER AND HEALTHIER!

 

Nutrition means providing the body with all the building blocks required for health: vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids! Many articles on this blog can help you to do that. Super Foods and Shakes are one way to help the busy person eat concentrated nutrition.

As well, extensive dietary recommendations and some recipes to help you understand how to eat better, eliminate sugar  are  included In Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally. 2nd Edition is going to be ready by June 1st. Contact the office now to advance order yours!

 

Assimilation means having sufficient enzymes to support good digestion, and helping the digestive system to stay tuned up!

 

Elimination means having 1- 3 good bowel movements every day of your life by drinking enough water and eating enough fibre to ensure this happens.

Spring Cleansing is one healthy way to improve both assimilation and elimination.

Question:

Good morning Lorene:  I just wanted to mention to you that I have been doing the Bod-E-Klenz (US only) for the past couple of weeks or so and my psoriasis seems to have improved significantly.  I still have the psoriasis but I would say there is about an 80% improvement.  Seems more than a coincidence to me!

I would like your advice on how often I can do these cleanses or can you perhaps suggest something similar that would help me to maintain these results.  I am also taking the Magnesium Complex – one capsule 2 times a day.  I’m very happy about this improvement with my skin, I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks Lorene, have a wonderful day! AP

Answer:

Very glad to hear this! 80%  improvement in 2 wks. means you are responding very quickly, so I assume you must be doing some positive dietary changes as well while on the cleanse. You will want to continue lots of vegies and salads once you are finished. The Magnesium will also be helping to relax any anxiety that may be involved.

Bod-E-Klenz is properly balanced in a 2 to 1 ratio Building and Cleansing: the breakfast & lunch packets build and tone digestive and eliminative organs.  Formulas like Master G contain  herbs to nourish the glandular system as well as some vitamins & minerals. The pm packet is cleansing. This is one reason you can do this cleanse safely for 30 days. In this case, I would probably take a break of 2 wks. to 1 month, then do another Bod-E Klenz. In the interim, I would drink lots of Chlorophyll, and follow the dietary and lifestyle suggestions as suggested in my book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.

Spring Cleansing for improved health!

Colon/Cleansing, Healthy Solutions, , , , , , , , , ,

Spring has sprung and we hope that some of you are feeling it. Flowers coming up, rivers running high, all the signs of nature are upon us. More differences obviously for those of us more northerly, but even in southerly climes, the differences can be  noticed when you take the time to look, smell or feel.

The beauty of spring is the time for renewal and new growth. For our bodies, it is also one of the best times to clean out accumulated toxins from the winter, which for many is a time of less activity and heavier eating.

Just as your car needs regular oil changes, your body needs regular cleansing.  The liver is a major detoxifying organ in the body, as well as being responsible for enzyme production, energy levels, glucose storage and release, hormonal balance, emotional states and hundreds of other functions.

Clean intestines facilitate proper nutrient absorption and waste elimination. Time proven tradition has shown that spring  cleansing improves digestion and utilization of nutrients, increases energy and strengthens the immune system. Spring cleansing helps ensure better health in the upcoming season, just as does fall cleansing prepare for the next change of season.

Cleansing can be as simple as cleaning up your diet, and undertaking a raw foods feast, or as complicated as fasting and doing enemas. The addition of herbs that have been  traditionally used for cleansing greatly makes any cleanse more effective. Some of the cleanses we have worked with for years are combinations of herbs which are designed to offer whole body cleansing, including liver, kidneys, colon, lymphatic, blood and cellular level.

The packs make it easy for anyone to do, without having to take time off or starve. A few that we continue to use are listed below. If you would like more information on any of these, or how to get them, no matter what part of the world you live in, please contact our office: takethenaturalpath@gmail.com.

You may be surprised at how reasonably priced they are, and as they come from a company that has been around since 1972, their quality is by design, not by accident, and is a given.

Tiao He PAK (CA)  and  Tiao He Cleanse (US) : a 10 – 15 day cleanse that nutritionally benefits the liver, bowels, kidneys and cleanses blood at the cellular level. Contains 3 formulas and 3 single herbs.

DETOX BASICS  CA & US: a 30 day cleanse which includes Berberin for balancing glucose metabolism., Milk Thistle for liver & enhanced glutathione production, Turmeric, probiotics and more.

Dieter’s Cleanse (US only) : a 14 day program that both builds and cleanses in the proper ratio of two to one. Because it contains many anti oxidants and minerals, it can be used longer term for weight loss. Enhances digestive and intestinal  function; balances glands, weight-metabolism and blood sugar.

Parasite Cleansing is also recommended 1- 2x/s per year. NO matter where you live, chances are about 95% that you have parasites. Herbs such as Wormwood, (Artemisia), Black Walnut, Paw Paw are available in several products and Paks.

LBS II: A lower bowel formula that is beneficial for ongoing building and cleansing of bowel tone and function..  The longer you use it, the less you need it – proof that it works! It is one combination in both of the above packages, but as so many people need this on an ongoing basis, it is also available as a stand-alone formula.

If you feel  weak or depleted, your are wiser to build your body a month or more before cleansing. An excellent herbal aid to do this is :

Energy-V : energy booster to increase overall well being, stamina and energy. Includes adaptogenic herbs which help the body adapt to stress.   Contains bee pollen, gingko, kelp, licorice, siberian ginseng, yellow dock, barley grass, rosehips, schizandra and capsicum.

Good health to you – now go out and find yourself an unsprayed patch of nettles or dandelion greens to eat while cleansing!
