My Family Health Blog

Here is my log of activities in my attempt to cure my poor dear grandmother now that she is so weak and hard of walking and constantly constipated and dismissed by others as just ageing.

Just because my grandmother is almost 82 years old does not justify her illness. The problem with old people is they are not treated for obvious illnesses just because they are old. Either people think life is no longer worth living, or they think there is no cure and therefore nothing can be done but wait for her to die.

This is wrong, and I will do my very best for my grandmother with my current knowledge.

Upon interview, my grandma says she started getting weak while still in a visit to Seattle USA on January 2006. She went back home to the Philippines February 2006. She was diagnosed with Parkinsons and was given medication. I saw she had a lot of medicines and supplements. She uses one of those monday to sunday little plastic pill organizers. She used to suffer from hallucinations seeing other people and her medication was cut in half. She is getting consistently weaker, can hardly walk or stand on her own, she shuffles her feet. Has been drinking only 1 liter or less of water a day. Is constantly constipated. Long intervals of 3 or more days between bowel movements. She is deaf in the left ear, and hard of hearing on the right ear, has to wear a hearing aid to hear me.

My analysis after careful daily observations:

• She indeed has symptoms of parkinsons disease.
• Same symptoms as lyme disease.
• Symptoms of candida overgrowth with a craving for chocolates and flour products.
• She used to crave for the true fat of fish and pigs. Maybe she does need fats, healthy fats for her brain.

My proposed treatment protocol for her problems.

• Proper brain fats: Virgin Coconut oil 4 tablespoons everyday from the testimony of a Parkinsons sufferer on page 25 of the book coconut cures by Bruce Fife
• Could be caused by Lyme Disease: follow Lyme Disease in Power Juices book P 210-212
• Could be mercury toxicity – Give Chlorella, dosage in chlorellafactor.com
• Colon Hydrotherapy to clean colon – done
• Epsom Salts 1 teaspoon as laxative nightly to help her poop everyday.
• Series of liver flushes to get the liver to detoxify brain (starting 1 now)
• Urine therapy for final cure as the indians have done, see Shirley’s Wellness Cafe.
• Candida – Do VCO detox page 195 of Coconut Cures
• Parasites – Give Ipil Ipil Seeds – 1 tsp everyday, I gave one this afternoon.
• Candida and Parasites – Garlic ingested raw and applied at soles of feet for 15 minutes at a time.
• Omega 3 deficiency, take flaxseed oil some 6 grams per day.
• Give Q10 drink before bed for sound sleep, works for my wife and mother in law.
• http://www.mercola.com/2006/jun/1/a_radical_dietary_approach_to_fighting_parkinsons.htm
• Stopped all meds and supplements Nov 10.
• Drank 1 tsp epsom salt Nov 10, 9:30pm
• Slept 10pm woke up 5am. Light sleep but straight.
• Pooped Nov 11, 9am.
• Pooped again Nov 11 3:30pm.

This post was cut from a post I made on curezone.com.

Leave no stone un-turned. Continuously educate and learn. Always be humble that we do not and cannot know everything. I just bought Hulda Clark ‘s book on the cure for all cancers… wow more stuff.

Perhaps it would be good for you to know that the things I have described so far in my websites is not the complete list of things we have done in the past 3 years to improve our lives. (we is my wife and I plus my kids)

– we threw away the microwave oven
– we do not drink water from our tap, we buy water from the community water supplier and / or real mineral spring water.
– we drink lots and lots of good water, like what batmanhelj says in his book “your body’s many cries for water”
– we disagree with Kevin Trudeau on distilled water, it used to make us sick (but I agree on most of what kevin trudeau says in his book, he is a good researcher)
– we installed a shower filter
– we see food as our medicine
– we avoid soy and any product with soy like tofu
– we do not buy food products by multinational companies
– we do not buy personal care products by multinational companies
– we do not use any pharmaceutical drugs
– we do not use any pharmaceutical drugs
– we do not use any pharmaceutical drugs
– our preferred herbs are planted in our garden and or picked around our village
– we see to it that our veggies are organic
– we see to it that our meats are organic
– we avoid clams, crabs, shrimps, oysters — shellfish –filter feeders since they have the most toxins in their bodies
– I and my 2nd son do not eat chicken and corn because I tested myself and my 2nd son to be allergic, just as the blood type diet predicted.
– we avoid pork / pig because it is unclean and grossly un-organic
– we substituted goats because goats are organically grown here
– we see to it that our fish is not farmed, we buy ocean fish. Farmed fish swim with their feces. yuck.
– we avoid sugar, sugar is viewed as a poison
– we do not use sugar substitutes like aspartame, it is worse poison
– we do not drink softdrinks, commercial juices, energy drinks, gatorade, coffee, etc.
– we do not drink milk, no milk. http://www.notmilk.com
– we avoid flour, flour is viewed as a non-food
– we avoid MSG, msg is poison
– we avoid restaurants and see our home cooked food by our cook we trained as the best food in the planet
– when we do eat out, we try to pick the safest foods and instruct the chef not to use msg and do not eat restaurant food they will microwave.
– we do not fry our foods
– when some frying is needed, we use virgin coconut oil
– I do not use shampoo… avoid laurel sulfate and alcohol
– I do not use aftershave, I do not use rubbing alcohol, I just wash my face after I shave
– we do not use commercial flouridated toothpaste, we either buy unflouridated toothpaste from the health store or I use the soap bar (squeeky clean), you might be allergic to flouride, and flouride is a poison
– If your lip problem is herpes related, I know Aspartame will make you break out or some chemicals the multinational companies do not bother to print in their labels.
– If your lip problem is herpes related, see the solutions with DMSO and others.
– we use H2O2 for mouthwash sometimes, cheap too. We also use it to disinfect our ears whenever we feel a cold or cough coming.
– we have coconut juice almost every other day because coconuts are common here in my country.
– we get full body massages with vco at least 1 per week, massage is cheap here.
– we do not get vaccinations for ourselves or our children, we think they are one of the greatest poisons and deceptions ever
– we do not wear make-up, not one bit of cosmetic product.
– we do not even use commercial deodorants, instead we sometimes use “calamansi” (a tiny green citrus used for flavoring and juices) our philippine equivalent of your lemon. If you can’t eat it, don’t put it in your skin.
– we do not use perfumes
– we do not use insecticides
– we threw away all teflon cooking utensils
– we only use stainless steel (but I recently read hulda clark criticize stainless steel, I’ll look into that)
– we only use 18/10 steel for our spoons and forks
– we do not use fabric softeners
– we do not use dryers to dry our clothes
– we do not use anti-bacterial soaps, we think that is the worst kind of soap, destroys the balance of your flora, leading to yeast overgrowth
– our house has no paint, no wall paper, it is made from adobe rocks

I’m sure there are a lot more stuff we have done and adjusted that I haven’t written here. I am sure there are wrong things we are still doing and have not uncovered. And I’m sure we will learn more and do better things in the future.

We exchange notes with friends and family who are also very health conscious so we try to improve.

Be methodical and record everything. I used to record my stuff on skincell.org but it turned out they were pharma stooges and promptly erased my account when I declared I was cured. Good thing I made my website. Make a blog.

Never give up with the conviction that if you are not yet cured, it is because you just have not stumbled upon that bit of knowledge other people already know about. It is usually a collection of things, services, natural products, techniques…not just one. They will all add up to heal you and make you prettier. I know I’m a lot prettier and healthier than I was than in the last 10 years.

Try seeing many different kinds of healers from your regular western MD, herbalists, wholistic doctors, bio-dentists, naturopaths, chiropractors, anthroposophic doctors, chinese doctors, ayurvedic doctors, homeopathic doctors, see a nutritionist, etc.

I thought constipation was the only side effect. After that ordeal I noticed some bumps on both my arms. The little rash turned out to be a body-wide rash this morning.

Maybe my brother had something like this too, but due to his skin condition may never have noticed this.

Let’s see how this plays out. My body is reacting this way to adjust itself to cure itself from whatever it is harming it. My guess is I ingested some disagreeable things and this is how my body sees as the best way of cleansing myself. Maybe I should go on a fast.

Update: We had “tigdas hangin” or measles in the air.  I had it.  My daughter had it. And my sister in law had it.  We all live in the same house.

My brother was recently hospitalized due to shortness of breath, with a slight fever, due to extreme constipation caused by taking chlorella and spirulina combination as described in www.chlorellafactor.com

Was it the brand? He used Solgar for the chlorella and the Healthy Options brand for the spirullina. Initially taking some 2.5 grams of chlorella and 5.0 grams of spirulina per day.

It was my turn to test this theory on myself. I took the same dosages but used Solgar brand of spirulina. I took the same quantities per day. And I found myself constantly constipated! How can this be? I pride myself in dumping at least 1 per day due to my improved eating of fresh vegetables daily.

I tried improving my situation by taking 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil to help my bowels move. No avail. I experienced bowel movement intervals of 2 to 3 days. Very bad. To the point that I experienced a slight fever and flu like symptoms with headache. Darn. Obvious toxin build up and this is my third day!

Drastic measures, I had to hydrate myself and bought 2 bottles of Gatorade and gulped them straight down. I then took 4 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil. I drank hot green tea to get my bowels moving. It has to move tonight! Before I sleep!

I got a fair sized bowel movement. I know there is more stuck in my gut. But it will have to do for now. Immediately my headache stopped, my fever is down, and I’m here typing to report to you my experience.

I’m not taking that chlorella and spirulina combination again. It may have worked for Mike Adams, but it sure constipated me and my brother.

Last weekend I did a 3 day virgin coconut oil detox beginning Friday and ending Monday. I followed the recipe from the book Coconut Cures by Bruce Fife. Basically, I chose not to eat any food and just stick to 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil (VCO) every 2 hours beginning 8am until you consume up to 10 tablespoons in a day. I supplement this with fresh lemonade with sea salt, some coconut meat, and a lot of plain yoghurt. I tried mixing the VCO with the lemon juice, but I found that I preferred drinking the VCO straight from a spoon.

My objective. I recently diagnosed myself with jock itch. Since jock itch is yeast induced, I figured I needed to do a candida cleanse. Looking in the natural health websites showed that candida cures took several months to accomplish. I tried using garlic under the soles of my feet and that gave me relief for 1 day. But I read that a 3 to 7 day VCO detox can wipe out candida easily by starving it and killing it at the same time!

My results? The 1st day of my detox I found the urge to release my bowels at least 4 times that day. In my 2nd day, with food relatively empty, I unloaded what looked like jets of white “smokey” clouds. Were they the yeast I so wanted to get rid off? My 3rd day brought me hunger and some heart pain. I decided to continue taking my chlorella and spirulina supplements to give me some nutrition. But by the end of monday I felt uneasy about the heart pain I decided to eat a late dinner before going to bed. By wednesday, the heart pain was gone.

Did the VCO detox kill the yeast that caused the jock itch? During the 3 days I was on VCO detox there was no jock itch, no itch at all. By thursday I felt some itch. But the itch went away Friday and no itch today Saturday.

I will think about scheduling a 2nd VCO detox next week just to make sure the my yeast population is checked.

Do I think VCO detox is effective against candida? Absolutely. Try it.

My brother’s skin status to date.

His hospitalization due to constipation gave me the opportunity to study his skin and interview him for a couple of hours. These are my findings:

• he used petroleum jelly every day for 8 years to moisturize his skin and sate his feelings of dryness
• his skin is thick like bond paper
• his pores are enlarged because they cannot breath through the dead skin which now looks like microwave clear wrap
• he only perspires in the areas least coated with petroleum jelly, his upper back, his groin, and underarms
• he compensates by peeing more often
• he feels great when taking hot baths and hot saunas to perspire
• the back of his feet and hands crack, ooze and wound, they are being used for toxin removal
• without the use of petroleum jelly, he is shedding his old skin, but not fast enough
• he is using a substitute moisturizer but plant based, papaya

I now have told my brother to drop moisturizers all together. Let his body heal itself. I want him to shed his old skin faster. Have him do loofa scrubbing everyday.

The new goal is to reactivate his battered skin and pores. Once these pores are free from layers of dead skin, they can breath again, hopefully, they can heal and be reactivated for perspiration again. When this happens, I predict he will be fully healed and become handsome again.

I do not know if we will be able to find a skin doctor who does not use drugs to help us with this condition. Maybe we do not need one. Time will tell.

The following explanation regarding petroleum jelly is very important for everyone and most especially mis-informed dermatologists:

Vaseline cannot be absorbed by healthy skin and creates a thin film on the surface of the skin, blocking the pores and preventing the skin from functioning normally. Vaseline does not contain any Vitamins and disturbs or even stops the skin from being able to absorb fat-soluble vitamins.

Vaseline’s is detrimental to the skin with long-term use. Mineral oils appear to moisturise the skin but in reality they suppress its normal, healthy functioning. The skin then becomes ‘dependent’ on constant applications of mineral oil which, in turn, result in a deterioration of the skin’s character and ability to keep itself healthy. It clogs the pores, is hard to remove and is a bit like having cling film wrapped around your body.

The full article the quote was culled from can be found here.

My brother got confined at Cardinal Santos for 1 day as I explained in my previous blog.

Now I like Cardinal Santos for its emergency room staff for being fast, efficient, knowledgeable.

But once confined, you soon see how bad the food is. In their canteen, and in the food they serve their patients!

I experienced this bad food with my wife for her appendicitis, my mother in law, my daughter with her diarrhea, and now my brother with his constipation.

This morning they served a sandwich for breakfast. It was 1 big pan de sal made from white flour… junk non-food; with fried corned beef… canned, preserved, food colored, no enzymes… and 1 banana… which my brother is supposed to avoid because his problem is constipation!

The hospital did not even serve my brother WATER.  I had to buy water outside hospital premises.

Dr Mercola has an article that gives us hope, “Finally, Some Hospitals Start to Understand the Importance of Nutrition!”
