Documenting my Cousin’s Newborn Son’s Challenges

by

My cousin and his wife tried with all their heart, soul and health to finally give birth to a baby boy. The first 2 children ended in late term deaths. One at 5 months, the other at almost 7 months. This couple have no idea about birth spacing nor rest. They just carried on. The woman became pregnant with this her 3rd child in a span of 2 years. Go compute how crazy that is.

So finally after a much nerve wracking 3rd pregnancy the woman finally gives birth but my cousin says the child is still pre-mature by a week or 2. Some challenges:

– Child has some phlegm in him. He is being given some drops of ampalaya leaves extract for his anti-biotics. Their paediatrician suggested this.

– Child stops breathing for about a minute or more, then reflex action kicks in and he resumes breathing again.

Doctor reassures my cousin that his child is “normal”. I never observed such things with my children. So that doesn’t sound normal to me.

A few days on after birth, the child gets his feet cut for new born screening. Of course you know I don’t like this for my children. But this isn’t my child.

A day later the child gets his BCG aka anti-tuberculosis shot. Of course you know I don’t like this for my children either. My first child got these idiotic BCG shots and he was the one who got eventually diagnosed with tuberculosis. The other children were not given BCG shots and they are fine. So it is only logical for me to believe that BCG shots are harmful and cause tuberculosis instead of preventing them. My sample survey respondents are my own children, that is the only survey results that are important to me.

Then the following day this child gets into a crisis with his belly button scab falling off and his belly button inflamed. My cousin got so emotionally worked up about that.

So my cousin is still fretful about his newborn son, it’s not as if it is his first child, he’s had many before with other women, it’s just that this child is the first one growing up with him.

I have not personally observed nor seen this child. I only hear these challenges from my cousin. May he raise the child well.

My Opinion on Newborn Screening: Don’t Do It.

by

My cousin’s wife just gave birth to a new baby boy. Congratulations. “We are now going to cut you in the sole of your feet to take a good amount of blood samples for testing for the newborn screening option. So we are going to tell you what genetic diseases or failings your child may have.” Yeah right….

I have another cousin who 8 years ago had his daughter get a newborn screening result with some hard to pronounce hard to remember diagnosis which meant in short… DO NOT DRUG THIS CHILD. This child is ALLERGIC TO DRUGS and may be terribly compromised, injured or die when given DRUGS.

I said no to all newborn screenings to all my children and my future children because first: it is injurious and painful. Second: the results are USELESS to us, we avoid drugs as if they were poison anyway. We use food instead of drugs which is much much safer. Of course in the case of an emergency room situation we may consent to drugs, but so far, there has been absolutely no need yet.

Sharp Shooting Neck Pain Beside Lymph Nodes on my 8 year old boy last night

by

Last night an inexplicable neck pain hit my 8 year old boy. Around 7pm and again 9pm. He felt sharp shooting neck pain, both left and right sides of his neck. I ask if it is in the lymph node area. He has slightly swollen lymph node problems since he was small. He says yes right there. His reaction to relieve the pain was to push his hands on both sides of his neck.

The 7pm pain lasted for around 5 – 10 minutes. I got water on his neck and virgin coconut oil. I thought there were sharp objects or mosquito bites.

The 9pm pain occurred and this time I was alarmed since this is a repeat performance. This is no mosquito bite, this was an internal matter. I was thinking blocked blood flow. So I gave him some 1/2 teaspoon of home made cayenne tincture for circulation. He felt instant relief. But took some 4 consecutive ice cubes to quench the heat in his mouth.

Which lets me think again about those swollen lymph nodes he’s had for a long time. Maybe they are blockages of some kind. I remember the past few days putting some ghee on them. Maybe the ghee caused it? Maybe this is a job for a detoxifier like Quantum Minerals Plus. I will have to consult with this newly found lymph expert Efren. I’ll call him up tomorrow.

Last night my boy and I agreed on 3 cayenne tincture doses every day to eradicate the problem. Whatever it is. Wait and see.

Former Vegan Daniel Vitalis promotes Raw Red Meat with Chef Franky G

by

I first heard about Daniel Vitalis, a cool guy sharing his passion for spring water and herbs on One Radio Network. He used to be vegan, for a good number of years, but since then had hit the vegan wall and following the raw is natural logic, went on to consume raw meat.

In this video, Daniel and Chef Franky G demonstrates how to do steak tartar a la bison meat with raw egg yolk. This recipe is good for those curious to be introduced to raw meat eating. Of course I consider the more advanced people to stop using condiments altogether to get at the real flavor, to learn about their body’s real hunger and real requirements.

But for those still stuck in the old raw vegan mindset, this is a good video for you think about considering giving up that anti-meat vegan folly and join us in the raw paleo diet community that this is the food of our ancestors. And raw meat works. All the time. Giving immense health benefits. To be healthy is our birth rite. You need raw meat and raw fat to claim that healthy birth rite. Works for me and my kids and a whole bunch of people world wide. Join us at http://www.rawpaleoforum.com for a global perspective on raw meat consumption.

Low Carb High Fat Rawish Paleo Diet against tooth infection for my 5 year old girl

by

Last Friday my girl got a cavity capped with a tooth filling. The abscess was popped and the dentist recommended pain killers and anti-biotics. Well, you know me, I’d like to avoid drugs as much as possible. In fact drug taking is our scare tactic for our kids for them to follow a strict diet cure regimen. So I told my 5 year old girl that she was either going to do it strictly my way or she was taking drugs. Of course she doesn’t want any drugs.

So she’s eating raw liver, raw oysters, seared fatty grass fed beef sirloin and t-bone, raw tuna, kinilaw na tangigue fish, boiled zucchini and coconut juice with coconut meat. I was in the wet market again this morning but there again was no blue marlin. Hmmm… 3 days of no blue marlin, something’s up.

Oh yes, more sleep. Sleep at night, sleep mid morning, sleep after lunch, sleep at night. And since there is no rice + meat combo to stifle digestion, more frequent eating times.

So my daughter declares that she has zero pain this morning. Good. Much better, much faster results than drugs. The dentist said it would take 3 days for the drugs to take effect and remove the pain, but with strict paleo diet compliance and low carb compliance, my daughter is better already.

I have to admit it, my daughter is sensitive to fruit carbohydrates and probably rice carbohydrates. So all fruits and rice are banned for her right now. Save coconut juice with coconut meat for fat to balance.

My little girl will be on meat, fat, vegetables and coconuts. No tooth brushing, it will be replaced by oil pulling with virgin coconut oil. She’s good at it, it’s easy, non-abrasive.

That should heal her tooth decay. This is just the first among many decays plainly visible. It is summer vacation, the time is now. The disease tooth decay is unacceptable. My little girl is malnourished. She needs more meat and fat, not empty carbs.

* How we prepare raw beef liver for children: Cut into small cubes, squeeze some calamansi juice, sprinkle pepper to taste. Let it sit for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Delicious.

Painful Cavity Takes my 5 year old girl to the dentist

by

Yesterday Thursday my 5 year old girl was complaining she had a toothache. Some molar on the left upper quadrant. Why for some reason last Wednesday I went to the Indian grocery and bought some clove oil… must be my little girl’s luck. So I used a cotton bud and put clove oil on her tooth. She felt some relief, but there was still pain. Before bed Thursday I added another application of clove oil. She slept through the night.

Come this morning Friday I put clove oil on her tooth again. She still had pain. Hmmm…. that’s not right, something needs a dentist’s attention. First aid doesn’t seem to be working. But where to get a dentist today, it’s a holiday. Lunch time I asked my mother in law which dentist in the neighborhood they patronize, she said Dr. Niverba.

After lunch my 5 year old girl wanted to go to the neighborhood toy store to get a bubbling bottle. On the way there was Dr. Niverba’s office, it said open, knock on the door. Were we lucky, it was Dr. Niverba himself, no patient, we walked just right in and my daughter got attended to immediately.

So Dr. Niverba took care of the problem. He noticed the cavity in the middle of the molar. But what was painful was an abscess on the gums at the root of the tooth just beneath her left cheek. It had to be popped and drained. Dr. Niverba drilled as needed and mixed his non-amalgam tooth filling. He said he had a cotton bud with some medication underneath the filling material, plus he left a small hole so that the abscess could breath.

The the good dentist suggested the usual antibiotics and painkillers for my daughter. Painkillers, what for? It didn’t bother her that much, she doesn’t say so anyway. As for antibiotics, I have other ideas:

– Gargle with fresh oregano 5 times a day
– Do oil pulling with virgin coconut oil 3x per day
– Add some fresh garlic juice to the coconut oil and see if she can take it.
– Sleep early, sleep in the afternoon.
– Feed with raw tuna / blue marlin for high fat omega 3s, feed grass fed beef fat also high in omega 3s.
– stop all fruit. stop all rice. Only coconuts with coconut meat is now allowed. The rest will be raw / rare meat and fish and their raw / rare fats. Plus explore juiced or blendered cooked vegetables. I bought a zucchini. Feed her a lot of raw fat for inflammation relief.
– buy special nutritious foods: raw live oysters, raw beef liver, crab tomale? Duck eggs.
– No toothbrushing for now. I want no abrasion, no chemicals in her mouth.

So this shows the failure of the paradigm of tooth brushing. If there was a contest on the most fanatic tooth brushers, my wife would be champ.

So this shows my daughter is sensitive to fruit and carbs and it shows on her teeth. There are lots of cavities. Just like Rami Nagel’s daughter, the author of the book Cure Tooth Decay, fruit and carbs do not work for her.

I also noticed that on her rice based diet, her intake of cooked meat is very small, and her fat intake even smaller. I will have to invert that pyramid and let her get used to eating more raw fat. This late afternoon I fed her raw tuna, then some yellow raw beef fat, then in dinner evening some raw oysters. She got filled up. Fresh oysters are filling.

Tomorrow I’ll get coconuts then feed her some raw liver in calamansi and some pepper for taste. Of course more raw / rare meat, I got wonderful T-bone. I will accept searing for now for taste so she can eat a lot. How she’s going to chew? Just cut the beef and fat with scissors until it’s very small. I tell her to chew a little on her right side of her mouth then swallow.

Must remember to boil some zucchini and have her taste that as well. More oil pulling and more oregano oil gargling. We will do this the natural way.

Curing tooth decay is som 95% raw animal fatty food choosing special nutritious ones with the rest being green vegetables raw and juiced or cooked and blendered? Whatever my daughter finds palatable.

Eye Injury Treatment: Raw Oysters and Eyebright Formula from Dr. Schulze

by

I’m helping my wife’s cousin R solve his eye injury problem. He was hit on his right eye with a badminton shuttle cock and his right eye vision is blurred. He saw a doctor and of course he recommended future surgery. I’ve been through this route before with my negative spot on my right eye. Of course I first tried the no surgery method and it worked. Who would like dangerous surgery? If the surgery is unsuccessful you could go blind. Having blurred vision or a negative spot is so much better than complete blindness.

So on to the possible solution for R’s eye injury. Do the same thing I did, which worked, so it deserves some looking into.

1. I have left over Dr. Schulze’s Eye Bright Formula. It is an eye healing formula, you put 3 drops in your eye cup and add some distilled water. Dunk your eye in the eye cup and look around up down left right to let the eye bright formula do its healing thing. Do it 3 times a day.

No Eye Cup? Bah, your swim goggles will do.

2. Eat raw oysters 3 times a week. It has a lot of nutrients, especially zinc to help in the healing process. Zinc is the lacking element in the enzymatic process of healing which if short, healing fails to complete. I remember avoiding oysters for so long because of the red tide scare. One time I had dinner with my cousins and we had raw oysters in a restaurant (Oyster Boy) and when I woke up the following day, my vision had improved drastically. I didn’t know my vision had deteriorated until I had that improvement.

3. Stop eating all inflammation causing foods: wheat, nightshades, grains, beans, vegetable cooking oils. Do a paleo diet. Better if it is raw paleo diet.

I even did the shopping for R. I got him shelled oysters in a plastic bag and live oysters in their muddy shells. He both had them for dinner to compare. No comparison. Hands down live oysters in their shell was awesome. I couldn’t believe it was a first time experience for R. My mom used to give us these oysters in a shell while were were growing up.

What side effects do you get from eating raw oysters? R asked.

That’s easy, sperm production. Lots of it. You will feel your balls loading up to full charge you will need to release. Funny and true. 🙂
