The Buteyko Method: Over Breathing is the Cause of Asthma

by

Deep breathing, over breathing is a root cause of asthma. People are so caught up in the notion of oxygen consumption for good health, it seems “logical” that they breath more deeply. But that is not the case. Dr. Buteyko observed that more shallow breathing and even holding your breath exhaled which encourages more carbon dioxide in the lungs actually helps.

The logic, Dr. Buteyko theorizes is that human lungs make the effort of converting a lot of the air we breath in into carbon monoxide before actual absorption. He thinks that at one point in the past before humans evolved, the earth’s atmosphere had more carbon dioxide. Thus the lung adaptation of creating more carbon dioxide before actual absorption into the bloodstream.

You can experiment yourself and see that you easily make yourself dizzy silly if you try to breath more deeply and more often. But if you breath more shallowly, you are fine.

Here is a short video to be introduced to what the Buteyko Method is.

Our 5 year old girl had a molar extraction at the Biological Dentist

by

Yesterday afternoon was the day. After having some tooth and gum infection, and quenching the infection with very low carbohydrate, high fat diet with extra virgin olive oil pulling, our girl had her molar extracted yesterday. It was a simple 15 minute extraction with Dr. Gaba. Probably local anasthesia plus Reiki and our 5 year old daughter was a calm kid at every dental appointment.

We chose this method of extraction rather than the first offered to us with sedation. Where sedation involves an anesthesiologist with full body anasthesia, which to our mind was adding more danger, more complications to what should be a simple extraction. In fact, if this second dentist wanted the same sedation I was prepared to put my girl fully on raw paleo diet full time and wait for the darn tooth to fall off.

There is a 2nd molar that needs attention as well. It was not touched at this appointment maybe next week.

In the meantime, very low carb diet continues. I’ve got my raw liver ready and waiting in the ref. 🙂

157-year-old woman in Indonesia?

by

Interesting news.  Indonesian census officials think the claim of a woman that she is 157 years old may be true. “There’s no authentic data to prove her age but judging from her statements and the age of her adopted daughter, who’s now 108 years old, it’s difficult to doubt it,” statistics bureau official Jhonny Sardjono said.

See http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/SEAsia/Story/STIStory_536755.html

There have been reports of 150 year olds in parts of India. There have been reports of regular centenarians in Japan. My own paternal grandparents are expected to be centenarians. My paternal great grandparents were centenarians.

There’s a loose global tribe of raw meat eaters of which I am a member of in www.rawpaleoforum.com – is that strange?

I know there is this 108 year old guy who wrote a book and is flying around the USA giving speeches about longevity and health, he is a 2nd generation health advocate taught by his own father at a young age. Imagine if his descendants are taught as well.

I myself expect no less than 100 years lifespan, even pushing it to 120 if I get my health paradigms right. Plus I expect to teach my own descendants so they will have longer higher quality experiences than I ever did.

The problem with old people these days is that records of yore were not well kept.

Intussusception Recurrence? Not on my watch.

by

Our 9 year old boy woke up with a tummy ache.  Which became extreme.  I asked him to drink a good amount of coconut juice this time, half a glass.  which he did.  Tummy ache persisted.  He puked out all he drank later on.  Was this another intussusception episode?  Oh no you don’t.  Not on my watch.  Olive oil enema and Castor Oil to the rescue.

Boy woke up and asked me for olive oil enema.  When I saw it was serious yes I did give him an olive oil enema.  Then when it seemed worse and not progressing, after his puking I gave him 1 ounce of castor oil.  That worked fast.  Immediate relieving sensation, then much later on, 2 big dumps of poop material.  Not formed.  Maybe due to the oils.  Better relief.  Not 100% but he is up and playing climbing ropes with his cousins in the yard.

The big question is, what was it?  Maybe the clams?  But he’s had clams for 3 straight nights, all from the same source.  Why would night number 3 be any different?  Maybe the OMX probiotic last Saturday, it was just 1 capsule.  Maybe a bad reaction?  Would every bad intestinal contraction of his have to result in an emergency case?

Emergency is over.  Again.  I had to work at home and do my computer thing with my employees over the internet.  It’s not efficient but it works.

I’ll probably take him with me to Vander Gaditano next week.

Biological Dentist Visit for our 5 Year old girl

by

Yesterday Saturday we got a 3 pm with the biological dentist Dra. Herminia Chavez at the Queen Mary Holistic Center in Medical Plaza in Pasig City for our 5 year old girl with painful tooth decay. Lucky for us, it was Dra. Chavez herself who initially saw her. Her initial diagnosis and opinion is there were some 3 teeth needing fillings and 2 molars needed extraction. The initial recommendation was for sedation with an anesthesiologist but we would need clearance from our pediatrician, our anthroposophic doctor.

Dra. Chavez had to go so her fellow dental staff continued. They took pictures and took a panoramic x-ray. Then Dra. Chavez called in and thought that maybe we should try and see if our child has any allergies with the anesthesia by injecting some in her arm… a skin test. Then go home and schedule for extraction next time. She says it seems the child is well behaved and they may be able to do an extraction without sedation.

So we finally had the panoramic x-ray results. It showed the decays reached the roots of those 2 molars candidates for extraction. In fact these 2 molars had previous fillings which dropped out. In fact last Wednesday our child was complaining of tooth pain. I saw she had a puss filled pimple on her upper left gum above her decayed molar. I put clove oil daily. And had her oil pull with extra virgin olive oil daily. Yesterday Saturday with the bio-dentist, you can see in the picture below that the pus filled pimple had drained / gone but there is still some small level pain being felt by our daughter.

We bought a big bottle of colloidal silver. I’m still debating with myself if I should give that as a gargle wash. Or maybe just use Quantum Mineral Drops as a gargle wash. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is working well. I’m not too keen on colloidal silver unless it’s an emergency. We will see.

So what is the plan? My wife is used to the other biological dentist Dr. Gaba and has seen him work with this same child before. Maybe she would be more psyched up in his hands. I had my root canaled tooth extracted here with Dr. Chavez. I’d guess it’s a safe bet to ask the pediatrician her opinion on the matter as well.

So while we wait, our child will be on rawish paleo diet / cure tooth decay protocol. It works, so let’s just follow through, let’s not yoyo this time. Last night I bought live clams and had a soup with that. I have live oysters for today. There’s more raw beef in the refrigerator. And we have raw uni / sea urchin. I also got raw blue marlin sashimi.

Enjoy the pictures below. It was interesting for me to see for the first time how children’s permanent teeth are all lined up getting ready to erupt in the next few years.

Tooth Decay Problems Again for our 5 year old Girl

by

Our 5 year old girl is having tooth decay problems again. 3 locations this time. The old filling had fallen off. And an infection is again inside. My wife wants a better dentist this time. But my wife will only be available Saturday to take our girl to Dr. Gaba. So yesterday and today Friday she just has to muddle through and try to survive.

Our girl is carb sensitive. She must be on high fat, low carb. She must be on high fat raw paleo diet. Rawish meat will have to do. So oven baking rare beef will have to do. Plus some vegetables. Maybe juiced kamote tops as well.

Seems we have to be strict with her. Unlike her siblings, she should eat no rice and no sweet fruit. The only fruit that will do will be coconut meat, avocados and some durian.

Cure tooth decay protocol will be applied. Time to get more oysters, liver and some bone marrow (which is expensive).

Stem Cell Therapy will not Give you Permanent Cancer Cure – Wisen Up

by

Stem Cell therapy is the latest promised western medical “hope” for cancer relief. Sure it works at first with all the promised never never land. But if you still continue living in the same rotten western medical health paradigms and Standard Urban Diet paradigms then you as hell have a 100% chance of being sick again.

You continue to take umpteen drugs for this and that? That’s not “cured”, that’s a disaster. After a few measly months you are sick again? In pain? That’s not “cured”, that’s a waste. To be cured is to confidently live your life that YOU KNOW what real health is all about and it works and everyone can see that you are healthier than you once were.

Just heard of a grandmother who had stem cell therapy… she got well for a time but she’s sick again. She’s undergoing bone marrow transplant… again. And she is in horrible cancer pain. Will somebody please give her a coffee enema??!!!

If you go on living the paradigms of standard urban diet and western medicine fallacies then this means you are still headed for the cliff and will fall just like all the other lemmings who bought into this mass suicide. Drugs and SAD diet are no good. You think whole wheat has anything for you? You think whole grains and pasteurized milk do you good? You think a low fat, high fiber diet is beneficial? You think all meat must be cooked? You people are gosh darn INSANE! It’s a sad thing dead men tell no tales. If they did, then all those cancer victims will tell you they ate spaghetti, meatballs, canned tomato sauce and processed cheese, hamburger, french fries, pesticide laden vegetables and pasteurized low fat milk… plus they drowned themselves in artificial vitamins and dozens of drugs… WISEN UP! Is this the age of information or what? You’d think this was the dark ages and hordes believe in superstitious nonsense.

Hello!!!! Everything you see on TV and the mass media about health is UPSIDE DOWN! Wisen up. Turn off your TV. Throw away your mainstream health magazines. There’s too much money at stake in their advertiser sponsored paradigms, they cannot afford to tell you the TRUTH! WISEN UP!

Who to listen to? Listen to the cancer cured. Listen to the really healthy been sick… now healthy and rocking solid. If you are on drugs, if you are FAT, if you are on SAD diet… you are not living optimally, you’re not getting your money’s worth. You should be drug free, sexy, beautiful, full of energy. From sick to fantastic is possible and many have done it. Where can you find some of these people? Check out www.rawpaleoforum.com , it’s where the cured and the healthy hang out.
