One such example is cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, brussel sprouts family)and pomegranate. These foods enable women to better eliminate harmful estrogens via better liver function, helping to reduce PMS symptoms and decreasing the risk hormone related conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, fibrocystic breasts and various cancers. NMT is also a great technique for better nervous system regulation of all aspects of physiology. A better functioning nervous system allows for better detox through more efficient physiological regulation.

Castor oil packs, dry skin brushing, infrared sauna and hydrotherapy also improve detox, see my detoxification article for instructions. Chances are that you have excessive mercury, lead, arsenic, and aluminum in your system. Getting checked for this through a chelation challenge and urine collection would be a great idea. If this is elevated I recommend NDF supplementation or refer for intravenous chelation. Heavy metals are very difficult to detox so expect a few year process.

Heavy metals are not a good idea to detox before doing the appropriate preparative work (diet, drainage, supplementation etc) otherwise there is a good risk of aggravation. Any company that tells you that this can be accomplished over the course a few weeks or days is completely misinformed.

Lastly, EXERCISE, this improves lymphatic flow and circulation which is absolutely critical for great detox.

Autoimmune diseases are a process in which your immune system attacks your own body tissues. Although much of this immune dysfunction is due to toxins and nervous system confusion there are other supplements that can be helpful to “push” immune function in the right direction.

Plant sterols and sterolins and fish oils are a great help for balancing immune function (See Allergy article for further info).

Dental health is another important part factor when considering chronic disease. Mercury fillings, root canals and jaw misalignment can profoundly affect the health of the body. Any chronic infections such as root canals are a constant source of immune stress and toxicity that can be a key cause of disease. I often recommend my patients see a holistically minded dentist in order to address these factors. One dentist I have been most impressed with is Dr Ara Elmajian DDS. He is fully aware of your overall health and world renown with his knowledge of treatment and assessment of your overall dental health. He can be contacted by http://www.draraelmajian.ca/ . 

 Another facinating discovery is how a simple thing like a jaw misalignment can be the source of many terrible symptoms which mimic serious diseases such as MS, Parkinsons, and Cerebral Palsy.  Being misdiagnosed with one of these illnesses can lead to a lifetime of misery.  A cure can be as simple as having a massage of certain facial areas and a custom made dental appliance, much like the night guards many people wear.  Dr Stack (DDS, MS) has some videos on this.  You can watch them here, and be prepared to be amazed!
Possibly the most important part of treatment includes emotional/spiritual stress.

People who have unaddressed emotional issues (yes you) are continually experiencing stress that can have a profoundly negative effect on your physiology. We have all heard amazing stories of the power of the mind.

 What if you are using your power to become sick?? Many of us carry subconscious beliefs and unresolved emotional stresses that continually move our intention towards sickness not health. What can we do about this? Well the good news is that a healthy person tends to be a happier one.

Exercise, healthy diet and good friends go a long way in this department. There are many nervous system techniques that are useful here including NMT and a self treatment technique called EFT (emotional freedom technique). For directions on how to do EFT just go to www.mercola.com and type in EFT in the search engine. Follow the instructions and become happy.

Spirituality is another concern. People who have some sort of faith regardless of religion tend to be less stressed, happier and form better relationships. No matter what form of medicine we may use we eventually all have to come to terms with our own mortality. I would encourage you to find your own personal truth with regard to the big questions in life. Some psychologists and spiritual teachers may be helpful for you to find that truth.

I myself have found meditation to be profoundly helpful. How do you meditate? There are many ways, one spiritual teacher that I found helpful was Arathi Ma (www.seedsoflife.ca ) but it is important that you find someone or something that you are comfortable with to begin your search. You may find that listening to nature sounds enables you to become present and relax or maybe you prefer prayer or mantra work to help quiet your mind. If mantra work is interesting to you, you may want to check out the website www.sanskritmantra.com .

Through the use of nutrition, detoxification, NMT the health of most patients can be improved. I encourage you to find a natural health practitioner(preferably with NMT training) to help you in healing. Below are some recommendations that I often use to get people started but please consult a health care practitioner before beginning.

UNDA 258
Second month
UNDA 1
UNDA 20
UNDA 243



Third AND Fourth Month
UNDA 3
UNDA 9
UNDA 50

Repeat this cycle for a total of 8 months
This will better enable the kidneys, liver and digestive system to better function.
Often remedies are custom tailored but this is a good start.
If a patient aggravates it is a good idea to cut dosage in half or to take a break for a week. The basic detox treatment guidelines such as dry skin brushing, exercise, castor oil packs and hot/cold hydrotherapy are absolutely vital to one who begins detox. For instructions see the detoxification article.
