Anne,

I'm confused. They invented the zapper, but stated the zapper was useless to
destroy worms and however they recommended the zapper and this was helpful to
you.......

Please, explain. I really don't understand.

   Dr. Hulda Clark and her son were the inventors of the Zapper.  They state that
the zapper does not and can not penetrate the walls of the intestines. 
Therefore, using the zapper for intestinal parasites (worms) is useless.  That
is why she recommends using an herbal parasite cleanse.  Parasites can be picked
up from food, water, pets, other human contact and probably the air we breath.

   Parasites can cross over from the intestines into the blood stream and and
make their home in some other organ in your body...this is the cause of many
illnesses.

   I have been using a zapper for about 5 years since I read her book "The Cure
For All Diseases".  This book is available on line or in book form.  In it she
gives directions for making your own zapper and also the formula for making the
herbal parasite cleanse.

   Using the herbal parasite cleanse and the zapper have helped me trmendously. 
I was sick with a sinus infection and 3 rounds of anti-biotics did not fix the
problem (only gave me a yeast infections).  After I started using the zapper,
thesinus infection was gone in about two days and has never returned.  Also I
had recurring fever blisters/cold sores since early childhood..they are
annoying, painful and ugly.  Since zapping I have never had another one.

   The zapper is a device powered by a 9 volt battery and can be a hand held or
one that can be worn on your arm or leg.  I use the one that can be worn so that
I can use the zapper and go about my routine.  It doesn't hurt at all.

   I have pretty bad arthritis and can not take otcs or prescription pain pills
as they make me sick.  I have decided to use my zapper 24/7 for a few weeks to
see if I can rid myself of this  problem.

   Dr. Clark died this June of complications from a back injury but her material
is still available to anyone.

HomeHow to Make Sure that You're Getting Enough CalciumPosted By Dr. Ben Kim on
Nov 11, 2009 Healthy Eating ResourcesGetting enough calcium for strong bones and
teeth isn't as simple as ingesting a certain number of milligrams of calcium per
day. This post outlines why calcium is important to your health, as well as
steps that you can take to ensure that you get enough calcium to experience your
best health.Calcium is the most abundant mineral found in your body.
Approximately 99 percent of the calcium in your body is found in your bones and
teeth while the remaining 1 percent is found in your blood and remaining
tissues.What Does Calcium Do in Your Body?Helps to form strong teeth and
bonesAllows muscle tissue to lengthen and contract properlyHelps regulate blood
pH, which is essential to your body's ability to properly transport oxygen and
carbon dioxideAllows for proper blood coagulationAllows for proper functioning
of your heart and nervesDue to
  its importance to a number of critical metabolic activities, the amount of
calcium that is available to your blood and tissues must be carefully regulated
at all times. Your bones and teeth serve as reservoirs of calcium that your
blood taps into for its ongoing need for calcium. Ultimately, the amount of
calcium that your blood saps from your bones and teeth is determined by the
amount of calcium that your blood receives from your diet. So the health of your
bones and teeth is closely linked to the quantity and quality of calcium-rich
foods that you eat and how well you digest and assimilate these foods.Here are
some healthy food sources of calcium that are well tolerated by the masses:Whole
Food SourcesServingCalcium (mg)Sardines3 ounces372Chinese cabbage, cooked1/2
cup239Spinach, cooked1/2 cup230Rhubarb, cooked1/2 cup174Wild salmon, canned with
bones3 ounces167Kale, cooked1 cup122White beans, cooked1/2 cup113Bok choy,
cooked1/2 cup79Broccoli, cooked1
  cup70Pinto beans,
cooked1/2 cup45Red beans, cooked1/2 cup41Additional healthy food sources of
calcium include:Broths made with vegetables and/or organic bonesOrganic,
unpasteurized dairy from healthfully raised goats, cows, or sheep (if you can
ingest dairy without experiencing discomfort anywhere in your body)Green food
powders that contain a variety of organic green vegetablesSesame leaves and
sesame seedsEating plenty of healthy, calcium-rich foods does not guarantee
healthy bones and teeth. The following factors influence your calcium and
overall health status:Your body needs an adequate amount of vitamin D to
properly absorb calcium through your intestinal wall. Vitamin D deficiency is
one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in industrialized
countries.Taking synthetic iron and zinc supplements can inhibit calcium
absorption.If you regularly eat whole grains without soaking, fermenting, or
sprouting them, the phytic acid found in the bran of whole grains
  can bind onto calcium and prevent its absorption into your bloodstream. Soaking
whole grains overnight before preparing them to eat can neutralize phytic acid
and prevent problems with calcium absorption.Stress is capable of leeching
calcium out of your bones.Eating too many acid-forming foods like flesh meats,
dairy products, flour products, salt, sugar, and caffeine can pull calcium out
of your bones.Because there are many variables that can affect how well you
absorb calcium into your blood and maintain the strength of your bones and
teeth, it's difficult to provide recommended daily allowances for different age
groups.There are, however, a few concrete steps that you can take to help ensure
adequate calcium intake and optimal bone and dental infrastructure:Strive to eat
some of the calcium-rich foods listed above on a regular basis. Don't forget to
apply principles of how to eat for optimal digestion and assimilation of
nutrients.Do some
  weight-bearing exercise every day. Simply walking outdoors is an excellent
choice for most people.Ensure that you have a healthy amount of vitamin D in
your system by getting some exposure to sunlight and eating foods rich in
vitamin D.Choose to eat iron-rich and zinc-rich foods rather than synthetic
supplement forms of iron and zinc.Soak whole grains overnight before preparing
them to eat.Find ways to effectively manage emotional stressors in your
life.Don't eat large amounts of flesh meats, flour products, salt, and caffeine.
Sugar is best avoided completely.For more information on how to promote healthy
bones at any age, please view:How to Prevent Osteoporosis

Hi Diana,

The pH strips used for water will not work.  You need strips specifically made
for testing urine and/or saliva.  You can generally find them at health food
stores, pharmacies, and of course online.

Just make sure you get ones with the proper range - generally around 4.5 - 9.0.

I would recommend the strips as opposed to the pH paper - which can be difficult
to use and read.

For info on how and when to test and what the results mean, see this page:

http://www.how-to-boost-your-immune-system.com/pH-strips.html

Wishing you the best of health.

Hi Lisa,

Coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer for the skin (and hair too).

But our good health depends on eating enough healthy fats too.  See some of the
benefits of fat here:

http://www.how-to-boost-your-immune-system.com/benefits-of-fat.html

Coconut oil is an incredibly healthy fat - saturated fats are NOT bad for us -
Men's Health did a great job of debunking that in this article:

http://www.menshealth.com/cda/article.do?site=MensHealth&channel=health&category\
\%20=heart.disease&conitem=a03ddd2eaab85110VgnVCM10000013281eac____

And of course the omega 3 fatty acids from fish, fish oil, flax, and flaxseed
oil are also excellent.

Olive oil (an omega 9 fat) is a good choice too, although our body can make
enough omega 9 fats on its own - so it isn't considered essential.  Still, it
plays a supporting role in keeping our immune system and overall health strong.

Examples of unhealthy fats would be of course trans fats - everyone knows about
these by now.  But what most people don't know is that REFINED polyunsaturated
vegetable oils are terrible for our health.

They suppress the immune system, prematurely age us, cause excess inflammation,
high blood pressure, high cholestrol, heart disease and more.

Unrefined vegetable oils are okay as long as they are kept in a cold, dark place
and not heated before consumption (use them for salad dressings, etc).

For more info on fats check out this section of my site:

http://www.how-to-boost-your-immune-system.com/fat-facts.html

Wishing you the best of health.

Hello,
My boyfriend was operated. They have taken two discs away from his column.
Sometimes he has pain. My question is, what he can do in order to take care of
his body. Exercises? Diet? Positions? We will be grateful about any sugestion.

All the best,

Sadyiah

Thanks, that really explains it so well!!

Hi Diana, I asked because I often wonder if people actually drink too much
water therefore diluting much needed electrolytes. Have you looked at
silica? Even though we eat a healthy diet our soils are often depleted of
vital nutrients such as selenium in NZ. LSA, linseed, sunflower and almond,
available in supermarkets definitely helped with my aches and pains and
benefited my hair and nails as well. Leone

Would you please explain what is Food grade Hydrogen Peroxide and what are its
benefits?

Thanks,

Rena

Alternative Answers for Treating Bone Spurs

Bone spurs are most commonly found on the heel, as well as on the neck,
shoulders, spine and hips. Bone spurs are associated with chronic inflammation,
which can cause calcium to accumulate near joints and tendons as seen in
arthritis, tendonitis and spurs.

Chronic inflammation can cause calcium to deposit on the edge of a joint or
where a tendon attaches to bone. With time, an outgrowth or osteophyte may
develop. These spurs can irritate surrounding tissue, which may lead to pain,
weakness and atrophy.

Clinical studies in China have shown that, although bone spurs are difficult to
treat, in conjunction with acupuncture, a combination of calcium desolving
Osteophyte powder, pain relieving 701 Plaster and anti-inflammatory tendon soak
is the best remedy for bone spurs!

Tendon soak is a unique combination of Chinese herbs. This formula is slightly
warming, relaxes muscles and tendons that are sprained, soften hardness, remove
fluid accumulation,  increases local circulation and should be used for
continued pain and restricted range of motion after initial inflammation is
gone.

"701" Medicated plasters are indicated for temporarily relieves minor aches and
pains of muscles and joints due to simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises
and sprains. There is a combination of herbs in this plaster, which help to heal
damaged muscles, tendons and ligaments. 701 plaster is used with remarkable
results to help heal bone spurs, in areas not covered by thick muscles,
including heal spurs and bone spurs.

Osteophyte powder is recommended for the use of bone spurs most commonly found
on the heel, as well as on the neck, shoulders, spine and hips. This classic
herbal formula is ground into a fine powder and taken internally as a tea.  On
average, this powder must be taken for 2-3 three months to see results.

Acupuncture is the corner stone of this treatment as it helps to increase blood
circulation, decrease inflammation and helps the body to heal quicker.

On average, great results are obtained in 2-3 three months. This is to be
expected as it is natural medicine.

___________________________________________________

A THOUGHT TO KEEP IN MIND: natural medicine often takes time and patience. In
this "get-it-done, need-it-now world" we live in, most people will do a few
months of treatment in natural medicine and feel it is not working. The longer
your body has been out of balance, the longer you have been living with
debilitating disease and the longer you have not been taking care of
yourself..... the longer it will take for you to bring yourself back to optimum
health!

Chinese herbs are wonderful things- Beautiful, unique colors and shapes, a
pleasure to prepare and use.  You can buy a whole pound of astragalus from your
Chinese pharmacist for less than you would pay for a bottle of pills of
uncertain quality at your health food store.
   You can buy pills (patent formulas) at the Chinese pharmacy too.  For best
results, brewing the herbs in a clay pot without boiling for 75 minutes will
work better than pills.  Strain, save and recook once more later.
   Astragalus is not so effective as a single herb as it is in formulas with
other herbs designed to maximize results.  The ginseng and astragalus formula (8
herbs) is popular and sold as a patent formula.
   Jake Fratkin's book 'Chinese Patent Herbal Formulas' is the standard
reference.  He compiled it from the notes found in the pill boxes in the days
when suppliers were still allowed to say what the herbs were used for.
   Every formula of the dozens I've taken left me in my peaceful center.
There are no metals, no side effects.  With about 60 of these herbs in your
pantry you may get better results than others get from their medicines.
   Please follow the traditional herb combinations and recommended dosages
strictly.  They evolved over millenia by constant experiment by an enormous
population.

Thank you Melissa for your message.
Do you have an easy at home way of testing your p.h?  I have those strips that
you can test water.  Do you test your saliva or your urine?

I don't eat alot of soy...only organic soysauce in some meals.

I will check out your site too.

With thanks

If I use virgin coconut oil on my face as a moisturizer - would this be
"enough" as far as absorption goes?

Subject: [AlternativeAnswers] Re: How to absorb nutrients from your food?







Those symptoms could be caused by many things. Do you eat enough healthy
fats? Is your thyroid okay? Do you eat a lot of soy? Soy suppresses the
thyroid (and does other nasty things to our body biochemistry).

Have you checked for candida overgrowth? What about your body pH - is it too
acidic?

If it is simply that you aren't getting enough healthy fats (coconut oil
does wonders for skin, hair, thyroid support and much more), that would be
an easy fix. If that's not it, your biochemistry could be out of whack.

Best to check your pH first. If you're too acidic, then your enzymes won't
be functioning properly and you won't be benefiting much from the healthy
food. And since you say you are eating well, perhaps candida could be the
culprit (candida really drives down our pH levels).

An acidic body also causes our red blood cells to stick together like rolls
of coins. This makes it very difficult to get blood out to your tiny
capillaries - making your body oxygen deprived and thus tired all of the
time.

A good colon cleanse can also help poor digestion. When we don't take proper
care of our colon, fecal material can get stuck to the lining of the
intestines. Over time so much builds up that it makes it incredibly
difficult for nutrients to get into our bloodstream.

Check out my site for more info on all of the above.

Wishing you the best of health,

Good Morning!

Understanding Food Combinations

The purpose of food combining is a simple, scientifically based system of
selecting foods, from among different types, which are compatible. This
facilitates easy and efficient digestion and ensures after-meal comfort.

The digestive system is responsible for receiving food, breaking it down into
nutrients, absorbing the nutrients into the bloodstream, and eliminating the
undigestible parts of food from the body. The chemical part of digestion is
accomplished by a series of
juices and their enzymes. The juices alternate between alkalis and acids, and
their character is determined by the requirement of the enzymes they contain.
These enzymes remain active in suitable media of well defined acid-alkaline
ranges and are destroyed in unsuitable media.

For instance, the salivary amylase (ptyalin) or starch-splitting enzyme of the
mouth is active only in an alkaline media and is destroyed by a mild acid. The
gastric enzyme, pepsin, which initiates protein digestion, is active only in the
acid medium and is destroyed by alkalis.

A noteworthy feature of the digestive secretions is that the body suits its
fluid and enzymes to the character of the food eaten. There are, however, severe
limitations in this process. It is possible to suit the juices to a particular
food, however, complex it may be, but not to a variety of foodstaken together.
It is the combining of many varieties and incompatible foods at a meal that
causes 90 per cent of digestive disorders.


The goal is in eating similar foods at one time in order to accomplish the most
complete digestion.

The most important rule for combining foods is to avoid mixing protein and
carbohydrate concentrated foods.

Although every food contains some protein, those regarded as protein
concentrated foods demand the longest digestive time. They are held in the
stomach for some hours until the gastric juices has performed its task.

This may vary from two-and-a-half to six hours, depending upon the complexity of
the protein in the food. If a protein food is mixed with starch-concentrated or
sugar-concentrated foods, it will usually result in fermentation. This may lead
to indigestion and gas in the stomach.

Animal-food proteins, such as meats, fish and cheese, require very high
concentration of hydrochloric acid. Their gastric digestion will be greatly
inhibited by carbohydrate fermentation in the stomach. This will produce more
gas and increased discomfort.

Eating meat, potatoes, bread and sweets should, therefore, be especially
avoided.


BEST SUGGESTIONS


#1. Protein foods are best digested when eaten with fresh vegetables (different
vegetables can be eaten together).


Primary protein foods such as nuts, seeds and soybeans also combine very well
with acid fruits like oranges, pineapples, grapefruit and lemons, and fairly
well with sub-acid fruits, like grapes, pears, apples, berries, apricots and
peaches. These vegetables and fruits are rich natural sources of vitamin C which
helps protein digestion.


#2. Avoid mixing proteins and fats at the same meal.

Fat in foods inhibits the secretion of gastric juice through the small wall.
When fat-concentrated foods are taken with protein foods, gastric catabolism
will decrease by the degree of liquid concentration in the stomach. Fat will
remain undigested in the stomach until gastric juices complete their work on the
complex protein molecule.

Although all primary protein foods contain high concentration of fat, such
lipids will be held in suspension, awaiting catabolism in the intestine, without
impeding gastric action. Free fats like oil, butter, and milk tend to coat the
gastric mucosa, thereby inhibiting its effort to secrete gastric juice. Fat
surrounding fried foods is also regarded as free fat and it interferes with
gastric catabolism.

#3. Avoid mixing carbohydrates and acid fruits in the same meal.

The starch-splitting enzyme ptyalin in the saliva plays an important role as the
food is chewed. It converts the complex starch molecules into simple sugars.
Ptyalin requires a neutral or slightly alkaline medium for proper functioning
and this is the normal condition of the saliva in the mouth. However, when acid
foods are taken, theaction of ptyalin is halted. It is, therefore, necessary to
avoid acid fruits in the same meal as sweet fruits or starches. Tomatoes should
not be eaten with starches especially potatoes or bread.


Refined sugar products are also acidic, both in the mouth and in the blood
stream.
The acidifying of the saliva by sucrose is one of the main causes of tooth
decay. It can also cause severe damage to the digestion. Food combining is
designed to facilitate easier digestion.


MEALS
An important point to remember about meals is that the smaller the number of
courses they consist of, the better it will be. They should approximate to a
one-course meal as much as possible. Simple meals in every way are more
conducive to health, than more elaborate ones, no matter how well they may be
combined.

A meal consisting of proteins, carbohydrates and fats may remain in the stomach
for six to seven hours before the stomach is emptied. If carbohydrates are eaten
without proteins, they remain in the stomach for a relatively short period. A
fruit meal remains in the stomach for even shorter time.

It is advisable to eat these different foods at different meals -- a fruit meal,
a starch meal and a protein meal. The ideal practice is a fruit meal for
breakfast, a starch meal with salad and non-starchy vegetables for lunch, and a
protein meal with a salad and non-starchy vegetables for dinner.

Proteins: Nuts, seeds, soybeans, cheese, eggs, poultry* meat*, fish*, yogurt.

Fats: Oils, olive, butter, margarine.Starches: Whole cereals, peas, beans,
lentils.

Vegetables: Leafy green vegetables, sprouted seeds, cabbage
cauliflower,broccoli, green peas, celery, tomatoes, onions.

The most effective way to get rid of worms is using a zapper.  The Terminator 2
can be worn on the body 24/7 for a month and that should get rid of all worms. 
It's small and easy to use.  Just turn it on.  I bought mine from Rocky Creek I
think.  It was the best deal.

Something like pinworms can be dealt with using grapefruit seed extract for 15
days but this will only get worms that are in the digestive tract.  The
Terminator will affect the entire body.

Changing the pH in the body will make you an inhospitable host.  When your gut
bacteria is normal and you don't have heavy metal overload and if you eat good
quality food parasites won't want to stay in your body.

I'm just guessing and without testing it's impossible to know exactly what's
going on but you may have heavy metals that are blocking mineral absorption.

Lead will sit on calcium receptors, mercury on iron, arsenic on zinc, etc.  To a
certain extent tissue salts are helpful but removing heavy metals from the body
would likely benefit you most.

My father has been on Isagenix for 3-4 months now and he's lost a couple
pounds,and I really mean a couple--like 2 or 3 and he should lose 20-30. His
friend though lost a lot of weight and has built a big business with it based on
his personal experience so of course my dad is quite disappointed with his
results.

Hi Diana, how much water do you drink in a day? Leone

Yes! Please give her Calcarea Phos 6X five tablets thrice a day. Tablets must be
chewed not swallowed. And give her Symphytum 200 one dose at bed time daily for
3 days. Let me know if there is any question.
Thanks for the opportunity of helping a patient.
Dr.

       hi

my daughter,23yrs old, hurt her knee at work,5 weeks ago and it seems like a
meniscus tear, we have not had  the MRI as the workman's comp insurance has not
approved it yet.

We have t reated with PT and ice, Ultra sound, and Tens unit, but when we
thought it was better it swelled up again, after a day of more walking.



Is there a homeopathic remedy that can help to rebuild the cartilage?

  She took Arnica and Rhus Tox in the beginning also.



I would appreciate any ideas.

Thank you.
