Healing With Whole Food

Question: Has anyone ever done a Parasite Purge? I'm reading Paul Pitchford's 'Healing with Whole Foods' & based on his descriptions, the Parasite Purge sounds like it might help me, but I'd like to hear about other people's experience.

Answer: Most Americans have parasites and don't even know it or don't believe it..... Most cancer patients have parasites and conventional Dr.s aren't trained well enough in this area.. If you can find a some one who practices Holistic medicine they can do blood testing to see what infections you might have...I had one done and yeast, fungus and parasites were found....The treatment is long but well worth it for your healths sake.... Parasite purging is a good idea but it doesn't have to be costly so make an educated decision on what products you use...One should do so at least 2 x a year to ensure better health...Good luck!

Question: Can you figure out the diagnosis to these symptoms? Symptoms include: RSD, cubital tunnel syndrome, several herniated discs in lumbar and neck, diabetes2, glaucoma, neuromas, extreme skin changes (ie- has become mottled, changes texture and color, may be red or gray, temperature avg 101.2 most days, very bloated abdomen that is very hard like a rock (looks very pregnant), extreme pain in bones, joints. Very swollen lumps, size of half an egg on wrist joint, elbows, etc. Elbow on L feels like a hot screwdriver is poking inside it each time it is moved (x-rayed, no fractures), easy bone breakage of toes, back of hand and fingers, losing hair rapidly, aged rapidly over 5 years (when this started with broken toes that couldn't heal). Fatigue, RLS even in daytime and in arms as well as legs, several times a month. Vitamins/minerals/herbs, physical therapy, Rx drugs have not helped much. Have always been vegetarian and eat organic, whole foods. Drink at least a gallon of water a day. Always feel too hot, love in the 50s. Need fans, ice caps. I have been going to many specialist docs. I understand all the Dxs, but I think there is an underlying cause. The docs are leaning toward some kind of immune disorder, but not sure. I'm 58, past menopause, do have osteopenia, also. Have always been healthy, active, hiking/biking, motivational speaker, artist, theater artist, teacher and trainer. Never had an energy problem, either. Stayed healthy, exercised. No drinking or smoking. Lie! I did used to drink a little merlot or really good red maybe once every week or two with dinner with hubby. I am now also wheel-chair confined. They are delivering a power chair in a couple of weeks. Wanted a look through fresh eyes, maybe someone has seen something like this or similar. My docs are open to listening. Or could someone send House? :-)

Answer: have you and your docs considered the possibility of LUPUS? please check it out and see if you can rule it out as a possibility. my sister at age 19 had many of these symptoms. swollen joints, skin problems, fevers, etc. She suffered multi-system organ failure and we didn't know why until the last day of her life. please look at this website - the symptoms listed here sound like yours...http://www.niams.nih.gov/hi/topics/lupus/tengo/english.htm#c please email me and let me know what you found out! good luck!!

Question: Recommended natural vegan books? Hi. So im 15 and have been a vegan almost a year. Ive read a handful of vegan books (mostly about factory farm cruelty & some cookbooks), but i would just liek to hear other peoples favorite vegan/raw/overall healing books. Im big on whole foods with little preservatives, canning, etc. I have gone raw before but have a hard time not eating carbs. So im just looking for a book about cruelty towards animals or a book that promotes a healthy active fulfilling life (as i am recently coming out of depression). Anything that has a spiritual side is great too. Oh and no cookbooks please. Thanks !

Answer: Diet for a New America by John Robbins is a classic book that led many people to become vegans. Robbins is a great author and you would like any of his books, but this one is the best. Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman, MD, is also excellent. He covers some interesting information about depression and high nutrient foods. His book Disease Proof Your Child is great too. One of our favorite books is The RAVE Diet & Lifestyle by Mike Anderson. It contains some recipes but is not really a cookbook. Look for the version that has the Eating DVD in it. That DVD is fabulous, and something you could show to your family and friends.

Question: Apple Cider Vinegar Drinking Ideas? What can I do to make it taste better? Please no negative comments. Try to give me MORE then one idea please! Thanks! by the way im not old enough to drink alchol. And yes i plan on sipping/drinking it or what ever action word u want to use. It IS good to drink ive read many articles on it. heres one: For centuries people have been using natural apple cider vinegar as both a food and a medicine for themselves and for their pets. Since 400BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, and others, have used vinegar and vinegar mixed with honey, as an energizing tonic and a healing elixir. More recently, the health benefits of apple cider vinegar have been promoted by many well-known authors such as Dr Jarvis, Paul C. Bragg and Patricia Bragg. D.C. Jarvis, a Vermont country doctor, noted that apple cider vinegar was a respected home remedy used by many Vermonters to successfully treat a number of common ailments and nagging aches and pains. He was so impressed that he went on to write a book on his observations and experimentations with home remedies, especially apple cider vinegar, and its beneficial effects on both people and farm animals. First let me say that apple cider vinegar is a completely natural product, resulting from the fermentation of apple juice to hard apple cider followed by a second fermentation to apple cider vinegar. This natural product retains all the nutritional goodness of the apples from which it was made plus it is fortified with the extra acids and enzymes produced during the two fermentation steps. It's the sum of all these ingredients that give apple cider vinegar its amazing health benefits. A compilation of many time honored home remedies used for a wide range of health problems is included in the natural healing Home Remedies section. Apple cider vinegar benefits include many external uses as well. It can be used to sooth sunburns and insect bites, to make your hair shine, and to treat dandruff just to mention a few. Click on the Hair Care or Home Remedies section for more details on these and many more uses. Apple cider vinegar fits in well with today's trend towards eating natural healthy whole foods, and away from the overconsumption of highly processed convenience foods, which are depleted of much of their original nutrients.

Answer: I've seen many small hand held magazines as you check out in a grocery store. (small booklet type) .

Question: I had three impacted wisdom teeth removed a week ago. I am still in extreme pain, is this normal? Its been a week since I've had my 3 wisdom teeth extracted. I'm completely out of pain medication, I have been since the second day of having the procedure done. The pain has been non stop, I'm talking excruciating pain. I can push it a side for a little bit but it just never goes away. I had no swelling in my face, the bleeding only lasted a day, I just have pain. I haven't been doing a thing to irritate the areas. I have been dealing with my food situation very well, staying completely away from whole foods. I have been eating soups with mushy veggies, but that even irritates it. I am a smoker and I have not picked up a cigarette since the operation. I followed post surgery procedures. I didn't eat anything after 10 pm., I did have a couple sips of water. They tell you not to smoke and by the end of the night I had 1 full cigarette. I didn't smoke the morning before my procedure though. Now I've been smoke free for a week.... exciting let me tell you. I should mention I flew on an airplane 3 days after the procedure, and I did have a connecting flight. My mouth hurt but nothing more than what it was. I kept gauze in my mouth their was no bleeding. I took a sleeping pill, along with a pain pill, and passed out. What is your opinions of this situation. Should my mouth be throbbing like this? When I say throb I mean my entire mouth not just the area of extraction. It's pretty severe pain. People tell me different things like it will hurt, no it wont, so I don't know what to do. Give me some feedback, should I see a doctor? Do you think there's a infection, a dry socket, or just normal healing? Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Bianca

Answer: Hi Bianca, Pain should not be that bad that long after your procedure. The one thing it sounds like is a dry socket, meaning the clot didn't form in place of the tooth, and that my friend is horrible pain! It seems like you did well following the directions and by not smoking. I would call your dentist first thing in the morning and get in. There is no reason for you to be suffering like that... :( Tell him about your airplane ride, and that it started after that. It has been known that going up in high elevation can trigger a toothache in another tooth. So it may not even be from your extractions. The pressure on a tooth that has an infection tends to have a throbbing feeling and is called an abscess. It kind of feels like a heartbeat in your face right? So, it could either be a dry socket or an infection in another tooth! Call your dentist! Good Luck!

Answer: LOL...... like on South Park. "I CURE THIS LITTLE GIRL OF THE UGLIES!" He's using not just a hankerchief... it's a GODkerchief! Lordy lordy lord!

Question: Is there any hope for the world? Honestly? I mean we live on a planet with constant terrorism, genocide, poverty. There's a government that wants to restrict our freedom, and control us like puppets. All our rivers and lakes are constantly under attack from industry and agricultural. Our forests are being cut down, our air is being polluted. Our produce is being sprayed and genetically modified, and the animals are injected with all sorts of hormones and fed crap food, only to live a life of suffering in an animal concentration camp. Hell, most people don't even know what they're eating. I walked into the store yesterday to buy bread, and I could only find one brand that had less then ten ingredients in it(Let me also add this was Whole Foods). What's this world coming to? And if the bills HR 875, S 425, and HR 2749 are put into effect, then its gonna get a lot harder for people to grow their own food. But people obviously don't care about their health, or else ADM, Monsanto, and Tyson wouldn't have any money. Nor would the Big Pharmaceutical companies. People wouldn't buy pointless drugs to solve problems which are easily preventable by healthy food, clean water, exercise, sunlight, and hygiene. People would stop taking dangerous vaccinations, and harmful procedures. If people would just think, they'd realize that being injected with poisons like Docetaxel will harm your body, not heal it. They would realize that the Pharmaceutical industry is just that, an industry. It doesn't give a damn about your health. Obama is "revolutionizing" health care, but what the hell is healthy about it? It's not the governments job to be doctors. And they shouldn't be limiting our health options, nor raising our taxes. But people have been told to think that government handouts are a good thing, only forgetting that those who give handouts can also take them away. People forget what it means to be liberated and independent. Don't you feel safe when Obama tells you he's creating a "Civilian National Security Force" that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as his military. I know I'd feel safe to leave my house and pass by rows of Obama police armed with military grade weapons. Sarcasm aside, I'm outraged at how people don't give a shit. Completely outraged. My old high school is already planning on using the police canine squad for regular security checks. How bad does it have to get for people to wake the fuck up. Just think. Will people ever wake up, and realize there is more to life then slave labour, ipods, and american idol? Is there any hope at all for the world?

Answer: hope is a universal emotion and no, it is not dead. If you are correct, and no one gives a damn, then we'd all be giving up, and few of us are ready to do that just yet. But you do make a good point and the inability to compromise is what will cause your nightmare of a reality to come true quicker than anything. Well, except for a comet impacting earth. Or a large volcanic eruption creating worldwide food shortages and killer tsunamis. Or a third world war. Or maybe the melting of the polar ice caps. Or sarah palin being elected president.

Question: Here are symptoms, what is diagnosis? Symptoms include: RSD, cubital tunnel syndrome, several herniated discs in lumbar and neck, diabetes2, glaucoma, neuromas, extreme skin changes (ie- has become mottled, changes texture and color, may be red or gray, temperature avg 101.2 most days, very bloated abdomen that is very hard like a rock (looks very pregnant), extreme pain in bones, joints. Very swollen lumps, size of half an egg on wrist joint, elbows, etc. Elbow on L feels like a hot screwdriver is poking inside it each time it is moved (x-rayed, no fractures), easy bone breakage of toes, back of hand and fingers, losing hair rapidly, aged rapidly over 5 years (when this started with broken toes that couldn't heal). Fatigue, RLS even in daytime and in arms as well as legs, several times a month. Vitamins/minerals/herbs, physical therapy, Rx drugs have not helped much. Have always been vegetarian and eat organic, whole foods. Drink at least a gallon of water a day. Always feel too hot, love in the 50s. Need fans, ice caps. I go to lots of specialists, including a relatively famous pain clinic. I have had surgeries, blocks, am on a few narcotics and other meds. In physical therapy. Will start a tens unit soon. I just wanted a fresh take from other eyes that have maybe seen something similar to this before. :-) I am 58, way passed menopause. I have been extremely healthy and active - hiking, biking. Was a motivational speaker and teacher as well as artist. This was a sudden hit. (blah!)

Answer: Could it be sarcoidosis? This is an auto immune disorder that can affect all organs and produce many of your symptoms. It is also one of those which can be easily misdiagnosed. It definitely sounds like an auto immune disease to me, your body is attacking itself, so to speak, and there are several which produce similar problems and symptoms. Have your Docs looked in that direction at all? Also, please ask your doctor about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for your RSD. This is an FDA approved therapy that has shown incredible results and relief for the many who utilize it. Your only alternative is pain management and you already know that doesn't always work that well and could be making you feel worse in other ways. Many of your symptoms of course are related to the RSD. Skin changes, temperature, swollen and painful joints with no positive x-rays, fatigue, and so on. All of these are classic RSD, which I believe actually started as a reaction to your carpal tunnel syndrome first, and the rest followed as the RSD spread to other areas. Above all else, I wish you better days ahead. The onset of RSD is very sudden and the road back a slow one. My thoughts are with you.

Answer: It may be wise to rule-out: 1) Celiac Disease 2) Intestinal Dysbiosis 3) Intestinal Hyperpermeability (Leaky Gut Syndrome) 4) Chemical sensitivities 5) Food allergies/intolerances 6) Heavy metal toxicities 7) Multiple micronutrient deficiencies You will probably need to find a specialist in environmental medicine or functional medicine to help you. Many Naturopathic Physicians, some Chiropractors and a very few medical doctors have the appropriate training and knowledge to guide you through the process of finding the 'real' underlying cause of your problems. Best wishes and good luck.

Answer: By His stripes we are healed. Yes, is possible after what you told him to catch that faith in God and be healed. Everybody can be healed if they belive in God, is already done it at Calvary. Jesus didn't die only for our sins, but for our sickness too. And also defeated the last adversary, the fear of death. I'am telling that because 4 years ago, when I was called by God, i was healed by faith. Bye

Question: The symptoms are... but what's diagnosis? Symptoms include: RSD, cubital tunnel syndrome, several herniated discs in lumbar and neck, diabetes2, glaucoma, neuromas, extreme skin changes (ie- has become mottled, changes texture and color, may be red or gray, temperature avg 101.2 most days, very bloated abdomen that is very hard like a rock (looks very pregnant), extreme pain in bones, joints.

Have always been vegetarian and eat organic, whole foods. Drink at least a gallon of water a day. Always feel too hot, love in the 50s. Need fans, ice caps. I go see many specialists. I would like opinions through fresh eyes, though. My docs are very open to other possibilities to investigate. I have been wheelchair bound for 2 years now and pretty much housebound. Bummer! So I am thinking and even jumping outside the box in my seach for people who had a relative with something that sounds just like this or knew of someone and can share their diagnosis. Thanks so much!!!!! :-)

Answer: you need to see a doctor

And for fishing sharks, do you sometimes get tuna or swordies?? Thanks.

Answer: lobsters are good stuff but if your killing a high level your best choice would not be lobsters. sharks are good for the high levels but like you said it might burn em alot. monk fish however are great and even if it takes you a long time to make them its definetly worth it. my opinion

Question: Runescape, which food...? I'm a level 94 f2p 100p2p and i have a whole stack of lobsters in my bank for food for questing .. duelling pking etc but because im not member all the time i dont have much member food.. im want to use only one space on member food and get a whole stack of it and these are my options.. please tell me which is best and tell me why its better 1) Shark - ill probably buy them, or fish them then sell raw and buy cooked cause i ill probs burn em alot. 2) Monkfish - ill fish these and cook these myself at the pictarious fishing colony. i calculated i can get 1k of these in 4 hours... 3) Mantaray - Ill play fishing trawler and try to get these, i havent played trawler before and dont know if its viable to get these 4) Tuna potato - buy this cause i cbf to make it.. 5) you chose - If you think you have something ive forgetton thats better please tell me.

Is that all? What do i fish monkfish with and while fishing monkfish do i sometimes get other fish (like when getting swordfish you may get tuna)? And for fishing sharks, do you sometimes get tuna or swordies?? Thanks.

Answer: I'd suggest monkfish. Sharks at your fishing level can be a pain. Monkfish are easy to cook and fast to fish. For fishing monk fish at fishing colony pictarous i just need to do Swan Song? Is that all? Yes, that's the only requirement, and 62 fishing, which you already have. What do i fish monkfish with and while fishing monkfish do i sometimes get other fish (like when getting swordfish you may get tuna)? You fish monkfish with a small net, and you ONLY get monkfish. And for fishing sharks, do you sometimes get tuna or swordies?? When fishing sharks, you only get sharks.

Question: Nipple piercing problem...? Soooo I've had my nipples pierced twice now, the first time I took them out because they just wouldn't heal. I have was doing the saline salt/water mix (the kind pre-made), I wasn't rotating them, touching them or picking or anything... they just kept crusting up and looking gross. I had them for about a year. After like 6 months of having them out - I decided I wanted to try again. Well, I've been treating with the saline solution like my piercer told me to... the right one is fine but the left one is getting gross the way my first attempt was. I've had these in for almost 2 years. I really don't want to have to take it out because I've gone through too much ($ too) to have them. I heard of some kind of soap you can get at Whole Foods... but I don't remember what it was. My piercer is out of town for a while n I just wanted to see if anyone out there knows what I'm talking about... Yeh? Thanks :] I am not asking for your opinions as far as what you thought about nipple piercing and the way it looks - if you think that you feel the need to put someone down for their own personal decision regarding what they do to their body... you, are the "not too smart" one. :)

Answer: I had my nipples pierced for years until i had my son and i loved having them, that aside, I am not sure what country your from but there is a spray called octenisept ask your pharmacy, it is the best thing, not cheap but its a surgical spray for wounds and the best thing you could use. I hope you can get it there, if not ask the pharmacist for something for post surgical wounds dont need to tell him what its for none of his business anyhoo. Betsadona is another good one, but its iodine so youd have to put gauze over to stop it marking your clothes although it washes off. Hope this helps.
