As I've been saying for YEARS!

MONDAY, Aug. 1 (HealthDay News) — Despite the popularity of colon cleansing, there's no evidence that the procedure -- which can be done at home or in day spas -- offers any health benefits, a new study finds.

However, colon cleansing can cause serious side effects ranging from vomiting to kidney failure and death, the authors of the report say.

Colon cleansing -- also called colonic irrigation or colonic hydrotherapy -- often involves the use of chemicals followed by flushing the colon with water through a tube inserted in the rectum, explained the Georgetown University researchers.

They analyzed 20 studies about colon cleansing that were published over the last decade and found little evidence that the procedure offers any benefits. Instead, a number of the studies noted side effects such as cramping, bloating, vomiting, electrolyte imbalance and kidney failure.

The findings appear in the August issue of The Journal of Family Practice.

"There can be serious consequences for those who engage in colon cleansing whether they have the procedure done at a spa or perform it at home," lead author Dr. Ranit Mishori, a family medicine physician at Georgetown University School of Medicine, said in a university medical center news release. "Colon cleansing products in the form of laxatives, teas, powders and capsules ... tout benefits that don't exist."

It's also important for consumers to know that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has no authority to monitor these products, she added.

Mishori also noted that many colon cleansing services are offered by people who call themselves "colon hygienists," but have no significant medical training. She pointed out that the National Board for Colon HydroTherapy (NBCHT) and many other groups that promote colon cleansing require hygienists to have little more than a high school diploma.

But Dick Hoenninger, a spokesman for the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT), which oversees the NBCHT, took issue with the findings.

"Colon hydrotherapy when performed by a trained therapist using FDA registered equipment and disposable speculums or rectal nozzles is safe," he said. According to Hoenninger, the study also "mixes up laxatives, both pharmaceutical and herbal; and colon hydrotherapy. Most of the studies referenced are for the use of laxatives, not colon hydrotherapy."

He also noted that, "I-ACT therapists are trained in the proper use of the [colon cleansing] equipment and are told to not make any statements or advertisements that cannot be verified in peer reviewed literature."

This post is about my survival and recovery from a rare illness called Stevens Johnson's Syndrome.  I learned about it after struggling with a chronic form of the illness for over three years from a client no less!!!  She knew about it because a young child in her neighborhood had gone blind from the illness.

 

Not much is known about Stevens Johnson's syndrome other than it is a severe skin inflammation that turns into a systemic inflammatory disorder. The immune system goes ballistic usually due to a prescription or over the counter drug.  In my case, using neither...it was a sunscreen...but it can be any substance that creates an immune overkill response.  The most common cause is antibiotics and many victims are children.  The affected skin becomes very inflammed and just falls off. Mine appeared to burn and then peel off and itched just horribly both from the inflammation and then when the affected skin was peeling off.  My scalp was very much affected and I lost alot of hair, and had bald patches.  My scalp has been the most difficult area to heal.

 

 

I had no idea what actually was going on and neither did the dermatologic experts I consulted. They were incredulous that a sunscreen could do such a thing or that any substance could be absorbed into the body through the skin...guess they never heard about dermal patches, huh?

They did want me to get on intravenous cortisone but I refused this. As it turns out, the jury is out on whether this helps or hurts the situation.  Most of the time I felt unbelievably toxic and like I had swallowed a hot poker. People could feel the inflammation coming off my skin and scalp and my skin looked burned and leathery after repeated burns. I also constantly complained about my eyes and they appeared red and irritated.  Hence the term, auto incineration syndrome.  While, I had  an overactive immune system in many ways, it became tired very quickly and I was quite susceptible to infections of all kinds for years.  Believe it or not I am actually still recovering!!!  I am,  I think about 85% recovered but I still have bouts when I come into contact with things that antagonize my immune system such as allergens, chemicals, toxins viruses, and other health stressors such as lack of sleep.

 

Due to the problems inherent from this illness I learned alot about the immune system and how it functions and the many factors that influence it.  I also learned a tremendous amout about skin health and how to regenerate the skin organ.  Most importantly, I learned not to fear illness and death, and to have even more compassion for my patients and clients who were in crisis and afraid and suffering.

While I have always been a compassionate person, I didn't really understand fully what it was to really suffer.  I also had no real idea how long it takes to get better and how confusing that path can be at times.  I really didn't start to feel consistently better for almost two years and even then it was touch and go.  I also did not fully appreciate how lucky I was to recover at all until my client told me what I had, about her neighbor child and I did my own research.  Another aspect of it was how toxic drugs and chemicals are to some of us...I ahve always understood somehow that my vibration was somehow "different" and I did not respond well to drugs even over the counter safe drugs like benedryl.  By the time I had my wisdom teeth pulled at age 15 and nearly died from the anesthestic I knew that drugs were somehow not an option for me and that knowlege led me down this healing path.

 

The things that helped me were acupuncture, flower essences, diet therapy and rebuilidng the body's ecology via the gut....and I am still doing all this!!!  Now though, I feel grateful to be alive, vibrant and able to share my story with others.  You may want to visit my store aisle for recommendations of awesome natural skin products.

 

Hey regarding being alive, I am going great guns with my songs got aired on UCLA radio today and much more and I have a show Saturday 10/9...sorry I am going to be closed due to that.  If you are so inclined I have a tuneplayer at the very bottom of this page and in the contact us portal where you can check out my songs!

 

Thanks for being in my life!

Well,  Hellloooo!!! I am busy in the studio recording my first alternative rock record, rehearsing for my show at the Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville on Tuesday 6/22 at 9:15 PM and taking care of my patients and my Shiba Inu, Tre, and my rosebushes for that matter....How's your week going???  This weeks forum is about damgerous food additives, but before that I have a couple of items for you!

 

One: I should have a new natural products catalogue available by next week..and it's worth waiting for believe me....second...I have great personal products gifts for inhouse purchases this month, and lastly, I have finally tested and endorse a wonderful probiotic that does not require refrigeration for those of you wanting a product to take on vacation..it is relatively heat stable and available by special order..please allow 5 days.

 

I have replaced some old lines & products with better and more available products and sometimes less expensive ones as well so check me out!!!  I am always available to you for product advice.

 

This week's topic is how to avoid the most dangerous food additives...I encourage all of you to eat minimally processed foods and go organic as much as you can...better for us...and the planet but I do recognize it is a commitment...

 

In reviewing this information I realized, (AGAIN) how dangerous these ingredients are...and while you may never experience health problems as a direct result..who really knows??  So here's my list of the most important additives to avoid in table form...please forward on to your friends and family!!!

 

Ingredient	Purpose	Hazard
Artificial Colors	To enhance foods appearance	Linked to allergy, asthma,,  fatigue, rashes, ADD, ADHD, headaches
Artificial Flavors	$$$$$$$$$$$$$$	Linked to: allergies, dermatitis, eczema, hyperactivity, asthma, affects enzymes, RNA, and thyroid
Artificial Sweeteners	Splenda, sorbitol, sunnette, Equal, Nutrasweet, Saccharin, ETC purpose to subtract calories	negatively affect metabolism, cause food cravings, some have been linked to cancer, dizziness, hallucination and headache
Benzoate preservatives BHT, BHA< TBHQ	Prevent fats from rancidity	Linked to hives, angioedema, ADD, asthma, rhinitis, dermatitis, tumors, and may affect estrogen levels and balance
Brominated Vegetable Oil BVA	Chemical that boosts flavor in citrus flavored products and soft drinks	Increases cholesterol and triglycerides, may damage the testicles, kidneys, thyroid and heart
High Fructose Corn Syrup	Cheaper alternative to sugars	Obesity, Diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer. HFCS is not easily metabolized by the liver
MSG	Flavor enhancer in many foods, salad dressings and snacks	Overstimulates appetite, may cause headache, heart arrythmias, edema, wheezing, high blood pressure
Transfat-partially hyrogenated oils	lower cost chemical subsitute for butter or lard in baked goods or snack foods	heart disease and cancer

 

There are many others but these are a good list to avoid particularly if you have allergies or skin problems...more about that next week.

 

Your visits, referrals, and product purchases are warmly appreciated. Thank you.

 

Have an excellent week!

Hello, I hope you are well and looking forward to a happy and healthy month!!!  Please check out this month's calendar for some great forums, information, stress reduction, FREE GIFTS for you with supplement purchases while supplies last...and a new, lovely website!!  If you enjoy these forums, I would really appreciate your letting others know that they can participate...without being clients...I do want as many people to be helped by the information I provide as is possible...THANKS!!!

 

This week's topic has to do with STRESS , yes that again...I believe an awful lot of people are struggling at this moment.  I have been extremely downhearted about the BP disaster,  and what is happening to the flora and fauna....this is causing me alot of stress at the moment.

 

Yesterday, a patient mentioned I might be better off going there to help and that was a great suggestion...If I think my immune system can handle more toxicity I may go.  Feeling powerless, is a very stressful state for me.

 

While conventional medicine measures heart rates and rythyms under exertional stress via an EKG...a different, and I think very important gage of chronic stress is a blood chemical called cortisol.

 

Cortisol is a byproduct of the fight or flight response...and usually a relaxation response is activated after a stressful event.  In our culture, however, the body's stress response may be activated so often the body never has a chance to return to normal, resulting in a state of chronic stress.

 

High levels of cortisol have been associated with: impaired cognitive function, adrenal insufficiency, thyroid problems, hair loss, nutritional deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances, decreased bone density, decreased muscle mass, high blood pressure, menstrual irregularities, early menopause, severe menopausal symptoms, low immunity, inflammatory problems, weight gain, diabetes, metabolic syndrome..including storage of abdominal fat and insulin resistance....high cholesterol, sleep disturbances and more!!!

 

When I question many patients about their stress levels many are in denial, and while I can as an objective observer see the tell tale signs..they usually can't.  Sometimes, a cortisol test saliva and or blood will convince them that their stress levels are very high, and may therefore be a huge player in their health problems.

 

Cortisol secretion varies among individuals....some may hypersecrete cortisol in response to a situation that would cause another very little problem.  Studies have shown that those high secreters eat way more food, and it's usually carbohydrates.

 

Cortisol levels must be kept in balance in order to remain healthy....Acupuncture, massage, meditation, guided imagery, arts, breathing and sex are all helpful in lowering cortisol.

 

I have a variety of methods, and products which can help naturally lower cortisol...I can also test you to see if your levels are in a dangerous zone.

 

Please let me know if I can help you or a friend or family member...

 

Next week...I will help you avoid dangerous food additives...see you then.  For more suggestions visit the stress aisle of our store!

 

 

Respectfully,

When spring and summer hits many folks experience trouble with airbourne pollen from trees and weeds and grass, as well as dust, mold spores and animal dander as ongoing allergies.

 

TCM believes that addressing the root causes of illness by treating the whole person and balancing the immune system will lead to substantial long-term health benefits, including better health with less suffering from allergy symptoms.

 

Hayfever or allergic rhinitis results from an imbalanced immune system.  An overzealous immune system releases IgE anitbodies in response to an environmental trigger such as tree pollen.  These antibodies then attach to white blood cells known as mast cells. As these cells become stimulated they release histamine and other chemicals.

 

One theory of allergy which I ascribe to is the total load theory which postulates that exposure to one allergen is not sufficent to trigger a response for most people but triggers of several may result in an allergic response.

 

Medical treatment of allergens typically result in inhibiting an allergic response, including antihistamines, decongestants, and steroids or nervous system inhibitos such as epinephrine. Other treatments are desentization where small amounts of allergens are injected to gradually neutralize antibodies.

 

Side effects such as fatigue, immune problems, and overreliance on meds  may cause some people to seek out alternatives.

 

Chinese medicine views allergies as related to wind, which usually coincides with a deficiency of wei or protective qi.  People who are deficient in wei qi catch colds easily and they may progress rapidly to respiratory infections.

 

The practioner if they are like me will also look for constitutional or more deeply rooted problems in the person.  Often the person has chronic deficiencies in the lung, spleen or kidney meridiens which can be strengthened with acupuncture and herbs.  Typical interventions may include some dietary modification, special herbal formulations, and acupuncture.

 

I recently did a comprehensive program for several patients which involved some immediate acute care, to alleviate symptoms and then began strengthening their constitutions.  This allergy season they have fared much better, and have not needed any western drugs although the allergen counts are much higher.

 

Should you or someone you know need help with allergies I welcome new patient appointments. For products please visit our store aisle right here!

 

Thank you, your visits, product purchases and patient referrals are warmly appreciated!!!

May's website is now up and finalized and some good bright and cheerful stuff is on it's way to you all.  I did not make the MayDay projection I was hoping for but I did beat last's months posting by one day so that is good...I have been active and contributing fully on a bunch of levels now...and that is the promise of good health, I think.  The energy, motivation, and vitality to put your gifts on their highest path, serving as many people as you can, as often as you can, for as long as you can, as best as you can...that my friends is really living the high life...and not that funny beer commercial.  I want you all to know that while I do take my work with you very seriously I am not a machine and do not have the luxury of phoning it in...so I do need a break sometimes...and sometimes I just cannot project when that is going to happen.

 

And that brings us to this week's FORUM Topic....What is Healing???? It is so completely different from what our culture's belief is I thought I would devote this time tonite to trying to explain the process.

 

According to many sources, the definition of real healing is the restoration of function, integrity, and soundness, and to restore to a state of wholeness...

 

Sounds like something to aspire to doesn't it???

Though most people first arrive at my office for a physical condition or problem, actual healing happens on many levels.  Sometimes healing is not at all what we expect...sometimes we need to be open to the gifts that life hands us...usually some type of blessing in disguise.  For example, my digestive problems as a youngster, led me to my present path, as I discuss in My Story.  Often times with my clients, a health issue serves as a doorway to a much deeper healing.  I have seen many many people completely reintegrate themselves.  It also seems that regardless of whether the healing focus is on the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual levels, each is touched and changed by the process, always for the better.

 

When people demand that nothing get worse, I know that my type of work is probably not for them at least not then because their actual transformation and where it goes ultimately is not within my control at all...and believe me healing one's self leads ultimately to healing one's life....whatever that means for the individual.

 

I am convinced that many folks do not engage in the process because of fear...not fear of failure, but fear of success...and where that can lead...the UNKNOWN, a fearful place.

 

I will tell you that unknown to me four years ago, my journey as a healer would lead me to ultimately heal myself, and I am now healing my life and becoming the high-profile, powerful person I was destined to become.  None of this has been planned by me for one moment.

I will tell you everyday now it is great to be myself, and to see the amount of growth, and postivity I am able to put forth, more than ever before.

 

I truly wish that for everyone I encounter would be willing to just jump aboard...In Seal's immortal words in a song of his called Crazy that I cover...he says " In a world full of people only some want to fly...isn't that crazy, crazy, crazy???

 

My sentiments exactly...No you won't stay where you were you'll be somewhere way better.

 

Blessings,

        Telomeres are sections of DNA at the end of each chromosome that serve as a cap to one's genetic matter.  Each time a cell replicates the telomeres become shorter.  Shorter teleomeres therefore indicate a shorter lifespan for the cell.

 

Telomere length is an assessment of biological age by evaluating chromosomal damage.

 

Inflammatory diets, poor food choices, will create oxidative stress and cause shortening of telomeres. 

 

Stress, overweight, lack of sleep lack of exercise use of recreational drugs, tobacco products, excess alcohol, insulin resistence, and hormonal imbalances, and any and all nutrient deficiencies will all cause telomeres to shorten.

 

Telomere loss and damage has been associated with cancer, dementia, and cardio vascular disease.

 

This is truly an innovative area of study.  Telomere testing is available at my office for a very reasonable cost and will provide insight into your goal of optimal health. Visit our aisle of functional medical tests right in our store

 

Next week we will discuss What is Healing????....Hope to have a new calendar of events and website published by Mayday!!!!

 

Have a wonderful week.

 

Your appointments, product purchases, and referrals are warmly appreciated!!!
