People who have higher levels of mercury and other heavy metals in the brain need higher than normal electrolytes to balance them out. Imagine your brain as a car battery. When the chemical
Specific foods can help rejuvenate the brain, remove heavy metals, replenish electrolytes, heal brain tissue, and/or address the nutritional deficiencies associated with depression. The ideal items to incorporate into your diet for the alleviation of your symptoms are wild blueberries, spinach, hemp seeds, cilantro, walnuts, coconut oil, sprouts, kale, apricots, and avocados.
Spirulina (preferably from Hawaii): critical for removing heavy metals and other toxins from the brain and central nervous system. Nascent iodine: supports the endocrine system,
Ester-C: this form of vitamin C repairs damaged neurotransmitters and supports the adrenal glands. It also helps cleanse the liver and remove toxins from your system.
Lemon balm: reduces inflammation and soothes the central nervous system. Also kills viruses that may be inflaming nerves.
Vitamin D3: strengthens the endocrine system, including the thyroid and adrenal glands. Also kills viruses and reduces inflammation.
reducing a woman’s levels of estrogen and progesterone, menopause also helps safeguard her from cancers, viruses, and bacteria, which are all attracted to and feed on reproductive hormones. And here’s the truth about osteoporosis: it’s not that reaching postmenopause makes a woman more vulnerable

relief, HRT allowed cancers, viruses, bacteria, and more to continue attacking women’s bodies and aging them rapidly without their knowledge—at least, until the
The symptoms in this chapter that are usually, and falsely, ascribed to menopause are so broad that they can be caused by nearly any health condition. These include adrenal fatigue, food allergies, viral load, liver dysfunction, and hypothyroidism. They paint a much bigger picture than just hormone problems. This section provides a set of herbs, supplements, and foods that address a wide range of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other toxins that probably include whatever’s creating your symptoms. This section also offers herbs and supplements that help stabilize your reproductive hormones and

They’ll help by variously providing antioxidants, preventing hot flashes, providing critical nutrients to fortify vital organs, reducing inflammation, and keeping hormone levels balanced.

If you’re suffering with what doctors call Lyme disease, then chances are you were harboring a virus in your body for years before you got sick. There’s a roughly 75 percent chance that one or more of the above triggers occurred within three months to a year of the onset of your symptoms.
The most effective way to determine if you have a viral infection causing Lyme symptoms is to focus on your history and symptoms. If you’ve experienced one of the common triggers by which viral infection is activated; and you are or have been experiencing viral symptoms such as twitching, spasm, fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, nerve and joint pain, and other neurological symptoms; and you’ve eliminated other likely causes for how you’re feeling—then there’s a strong chance you’re suffering from a virus that creates Lyme disease symptoms. As I mentioned earlier, it’s most likely one of the

Star anise, asparagus, wild blueberries, radishes, celery, cinnamon, garlic, apricots, and onions are among the best to focus on, as they can variously aid in killing viral cells, detoxification, repairing brain cells, recovering the central nervous system, and other healing processes.

Zinc: lowers inflammatory reactions to a neurotoxin
Your gut includes the stomach, small intestine, large intestine (which includes the colon), liver, and gallbladder.
That’s why enlightened beings on the planet employ eating techniques such as slow and thorough chewing; mindful, present eating; prayer before, during, or after meals; and becoming one with your food.
Your gut is where your strength is. It has emotional pores, and because of this, emotions can actually control how much good or bad bacteria flourishes there. Poor gut health can greatly hinder intuition. People are kind of like apples. You can have a shiny,
This chapter covers what most commonly goes wrong with the gut, including leaky gut syndrome, poor digestion, acid reflux, intestinal infections, irritable bowel syndrome, gastric spasms, gastritis, and general pain in or near your stomach. It provides critical information about these conditions well beyond what’s known by medical communities. It also debunks a number of unproductive gut health fads and trend “remedies” and offers simple steps you can take to genuinely heal your gut and restore your health.
There is an explanation for these mystery gut problems that aren’t actual leaky gut. I call it ammonia permeability, and it’s the third side to the story.
If your hydrochloric acid levels have become low, however, your food won’t be sufficiently digested in your stomach. This is common when you’re eating under stress or pressure. When the proteins reach your lower intestine, they won’t be broken down enough for your cells to access their nutrients, and instead the food will just lie there and rot. This is called gut rot—putrefaction that creates ammonia gas and can result
in symptoms of bloating, digestive discomfort, chronic dehydration, or oftentimes no symptoms at all. That’s just the start. In some people, good hydrochloric acid diminishes
Eventually, though, the bad acids can travel up the esophagus. (If you’re experiencing acid reflux, these rogue acids are causing it, not your stomach’s hydrochloric acid. This is a very common confusion; the medical world sees all stomach and intestinal acids as the same.) A related issue is that the lining of your gut creates mucus in an effort to protect you from the bad acids. If a lot of mucus is coming up your throat for no apparent reason, it’s probably your gut struggling to keep you safe because the rogue acids are trying to eat away at your stomach and esophagus lining . . . and it’s

At this point you might reasonably ask, “If this all happens because of too little hydrochloric acid in the stomach, what causes that?” The number one reason
for a deficiency of hydrochloric acid is adrenaline. What is not known is that there isn’t just one form
adrenaline. Your adrenal glands produce 56 different blends in response to different emotions and situations. And the ones associated with negative feelings such as fear, anxiety, anger, hatred, guilt, shame, depression, and stress can be severely damaging to a variety of areas of your body—including your stomach’s supply of hydrochloric acid. So if you’ve been chronically stressed or upset, that can be enough to slowly break down your hydrochloric acid—and your ability to properly digest food. Different levels of stress and emoti...

Your hydrochloric acid is likely to be damaged if you overeat any type of protein, such as animal meat, nuts, seeds, and/or legumes. (If the protein comes from
greens, sprouts, or other vegetables, it doesn’t have the same effect.) Eating a lot of foods that combine fat and sugar (such as cheese, whole milk, cakes, cookies, and ice cream), can have the same harmful effect on hydrochloric acid. Both these categories of food require much more work to be digested than fruit or vegetables do, placing a huge strain on your gut. This can eventually “burn out” your stomach’s hydrochloric acid and weaken digestive enzymes. If you’re eating high-protein meals (for example, chicken, fish, or meat) and you’re experiencing symptoms of low hydrochloric acid such

There’s an amazingly simple and effective way to do this: daily, on an empty stomach, drink a 16-ounce glass of fresh celery juice. This may not be the answer you were expecting. It may not seem like celery juice could be that beneficial. But take this very seriously. It is one of the most profound ways, if not the most profound way, to restore digestive health. It is that powerful. And keep in mind: while there are many juice blends out there nowadays that are fantastic for your health, you need to drink your celery juice straight if your goal is to restore proper digestive function. Do not

juice blend of 20 different ingredients, only one of which is celery, will be a distraction. Sometimes simplest is best. The stomach wants celery juice, and celery juice alone, so it can do its deep repair in this area. It’s a secret method that can turn around the life of a person with a gut disorder. Here’s how to do it:
Here are some powerful options to remove toxic heavy metals from your intestinal tract: Cilantro: eat half a cup a day of this herb as-is, sprinkled on salads, or in a smoothie. Parsley: eat a quarter cup a day of this herb as-is, sprinkled on salads, or in a smoothie. Zeolite: buy this mineralized clay in liquid form. Spirulina (preferably from Hawaii): if it’s in powder form (which is best for removal of metals from the gut), mix one teaspoon daily into water or a smoothie.
Garlic: eat two fresh cloves a day. Sage: eat two tablespoons a day. L-glutamine: if it’s in powder form (which is preferable for removal of metals from the gut), mix one teaspoon daily into water or a smoothie. Plantain leaf: brew this herb to make tea and drink a cup a day. Red clover blossom: brew two tablespoons of these flower blossoms to make two cups of tea a day.
These include quality lettuce (e.g., romaine, red leaf, and butter leaf); ancient herbs such as oregano, thyme, and peppermint; and fruit, with an emphasis on bananas, apples, figs, and dates. Also take care to steer clear of foods that can harm your health.
So regardless of what blood tests exhibit, always take a high-quality B12 supplement. (Look for it as methylcobalamin—ideally, blended with adenosylcobalamin—rather than as cyanocobalamin. With methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, your liver doesn’t have to do any work to convert the B12 into a usable form.) Lack of B12 is a very real deficiency with very real health consequences. And as mentioned earlier, almost every person in the U.S. is B12 deficient in some way. Also, take steps to restore your gut’s normal levels of
The special probiotics that live on fruits and vegetables are what I call elevated microorganisms, or sometimes elevated biotics, because they harbor energy from God and the sun. Elevated microorganisms are not to be confused with soil-borne organisms and probiotics derived from soil. Elevated microorganisms are the
most gut-renewing option there is. They are the very microorganisms that the ileum harbors, and they create the B12 that the body, particularly the brain, most recognizes.
top source of elevated microorganisms is sprouts. Alfalfa, broccoli, clover, fenugreek, lentil, mustard, sunflower, kale, and other seeds like them, when sprouted, are living micro-gardens. In this tiny, nascent form of life, they’re teeming with beneficial bacteria that will ...

Rejuvenating gut flora with raw, organic, unwashed produce is how you truly restore gut health. It’s also how you heal so-called MTHFR gene mutations and other methylation issues. Note that the medical communities’ label “MTHFR gene mutation” is inaccurate, though. People with this condition do not actually have a gene defect; rather, their bodies are experiencing toxic
Once you’ve reestablished your stomach’s hydrochloric acid, removed heavy metals from your gut and irritating foods from your diet, and revised your gut’s ability to make vitamin B12 by restoring productive bacteria, any gut health problem you have is likely to heal.
best way to get rid of gallstones is to lower your consumption of dense proteins and eat a diet that emphasizes sodium-rich vegetables and fruits that contain healthy bio-acids. By incorporating more spinach, kale, radishes, mustard greens, celery, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, and limes into your meals—and by drinking a glass of lemon water every morning and every evening—you can start the stone-dissolving process. One safe and amazingly effective option for dissolving gallbladder stones and restoring the liver is to juice a handful of fresh, raw asparagus along with whatever other juice

But any vinegar taken internally can act as an irritant to any gut health issue and will ultimately be detrimental. If you can’t resist vinegar, use high-quality apple cider vinegar, preferably with “mother” in it, which means it’s unprocessed, living vinegar.
One of the many ways we take in mercury is through seafood. It’s in all fish, but typically at higher levels in tuna, swordfish, shark, and any other large and oily fish. That’s because our oceans are polluted with mercury, and eventually the mercury runoff from factory manufacturing (left over from the past and still accumulating today) finds its way into someone’s tuna salad
You can mitigate the risk by eating small fish, such as sardines and mackerel. Wild salmon is also safe enough to eat in moderation.
