My Best Supplement Brands

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Nowadays it can be a total minefield trying to choose good supplements and you may be throwing away your money on useless products.  As one doctor said quite scathingly 'giving you expensive urine'!

So many of the good supplement companies have been bought up by the pharmaceutical industry and reformulated.  What I do if I am thinking of buying from any supplement company I haven't heard of, is simply go and do an internet search on them by asking "who owns........company?"  Then you can see if that company has been bought up by a private equity firm or pharmaceutical company.  If so, expect a less effective product.  Often you will notice that if a company is suddenly under new ownership, the packaging has changed.  That is definitely a sign that so has the product itself, it is weakened or reformulated.  This is my own personal experience.

From Google: "Private equity firms and major health corporations are aggressively acquiring supplement brands, driven by high consumer demand for health, wellness, and longevity products Key deals involve established names like Vitabiotics, Orgain, and Persona, focusing on companies with high margins, loyal customer bases, and digital-first or subscription-based models".

Unfortunately, this is happening on a grand scale, so really good pure and effective brands are getting fewer.

I have also noticed that when I find a good product that works really well, so that I notice a big difference in my health or energy, that product often gets discontinued. I sometimes wonder whether Pharma finds out and does everything it can, right down the supply line, to eradicate good products! Obviously, they would prefer you to be taking their drugs!

At the risk of not being able to get my own supplements, (as they might become sold out), I am going to list what I think are the very best companies.  Yes, some might be a little more expensive but there is no point in you completely wasting your money and buying something that doesn't work.  

My all time favourite supplement company is Regenerative Nutrition  I have been using their products for 21 years and in my Noni article I state that I am hoping against hope that they bring back their Noni product, which was the one thing that boosts energy for me if I feel tired.  It really works amazingly well! I have tried other Noni brands but notice nothing at all after taking.

Do search their website as they have an amazing number of products.  Regenerative Nutrition delivers worldwide, so everyone can buy and the prices they quote for their products actually includes shipping.  So the price they quote is the final price.

In addition, they have a great library of information on all their products, which is extremely informative. I actually once had a long talk with the owner of Regenerative Nutrition and he has been on a long health journey of his own, developing all the products with great care.  From the website:

"Regenerative Nutrition has been a pioneer in natural health since 1994, developing powerful natural supplements to provide a fantastic range of natural health tools. We've built up a wide understanding of natural supplements, and have compiled our natural health information library as a leading resource for learning more about natural health. If you have further queries though, our experienced staff are standing by to help - see our customer support section.

Our natural supplement store enables you to buy supplements to help you on your journey to better health. It's easy to use, with tools to help you buy supplements for your specific condition, as well as useful A-Z search options, or topical groups like vitamins, minerals and superfoods. What's more, with great discounts for regular customers, our natural supplement store will be your one-stop shop for all your natural supplement needs."

Can I just state here that I do not like it when supplement companies add things like microcrystalline cellulose, silica, vegetable stearate, among other things, or fillers, binders, bulking agents, excipients. If you are taking a supplement every single day, you will be getting a dose of those additives each time and they can add up in your body.

Regenerative Nutrition does not add any of these things.  For example if you buy their Curcumin, the ingredients are just organic curcumin, organic piperine (black pepper to make it work for longer) and vegetable capsule shell. 

My next favourite supplement company is Ancient Purity, which also ships products worldwide.  They have a wonderful array of very pure supplements. I buy their Fulvic Acid minerals and also their B Vitamin Complex.  I can vouch for the very high standard of these products and there is a wonderful array of unusual ones.

That's why, although I do use Life Extension occasionally for their Super K supplement, I am not happy with the fact they use some of these additives. I see that gelatin, glycerin, maltodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose are in this K product. If Regenerative Nutrition can keep these things out, then so should other companies. 

I am going to try a Metagenics liquid product with both D3 and K2 instead so I don't have to take them separately, although I see that Metagenics has been acquired by Gryphon Investors!  Is nothing safe?! However, Life Extension has not been bought up and is still owned privately. There is a Life Extension Europe and a Life Extension USA.

Dr. Mercola, at his Mercola Market, where I buy his Women's Multivitamins is very good (though occasionally puts in additives).  His Women's Multivitamins do not contain any additives and contain everything you could possibly need in a Multivitamin. The standard bottle contains 240 big hard tablets and is meant for 30 days, which is 8 a day!  I take 2 a day, so these last a long time!  As I am in the UK, I have to pay shipping but when I buy 3 bottles for about £100, they last for a whole year, so I think it's worth it!  Anyway, they are my standard everyday multivitamin, and as I say, they contain everything good under the sun! They are excellent.  I also buy his Krill Oil capsules which are very pure.

Another really good make is Kiki Health which I would totally recommend for extremely pure and best quality supplements.  I buy their organic Spirulina and also their Zeolite and Charcoal powder. This is a wonderful supplement company and I think they also ship worldwide.

Terranova is also a very good supplement company and I have been using their Vitamin B Complex for some years.  They make a wonderful every day health food 'pick me up' Terranova Intense Greens Super Shake that many people swear by.

For people who simply cannot afford the high prices of supplement companies, if you are in the UK, I would recommend Health Leads UK for very reasonable vitamin supplements prices (also on Amazon).  I do buy their vitamins C, E and D3, as well as their Zinc.  This is an independent company which started up in 1998.

The last company I am going to mention is one I only recently discovered, called Ethical Nutrition.  It is a family owned business in the UK.  I have only tried their curcumin product which I found to be quite good. Anyway I think they are reputable.

I hope this information has been helpful and good luck ordering high quality supplements that work!

More Tips on Healthy Eating

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Further to my last article on MAHA and the one I wrote about how to lose weight naturally by eating real food, At the risk of repeating myself, I would like to add more information that could be helpful to people, as food is a minefield at the moment and so much of it is quite frankly rubbish.  My little joke is that if food was priced on its vitamin and mineral content, 90% of food in supermarkets would be free!

Firstly, it is very good if you can eat eggs.  Today I had three eggs fried in olive oil for my breakfast.  I don't eat toast or any carbohydrates with it and you will find the eggs keep your energy up for many hours without you being hungry. The more I hear about cholesterol, the more I am realising that it has nothing to do with heart disease and high readings are in fact very protective of the body.  We have been sold a pack of lies from Big Pharma and Big Science to get everyone on statins!

Later I will have a Dove Farm organic digestive or ginger biscuit and after that sourdough toast with good quality butter (Castle Dairies or Duchy from Waitrose) and organic honey.  As regards butter, do not buy the cheap brands.  I phoned Castle Dairies to make sure they are not using milk from cows that ate Bovaer feed.  In Denmark it ended up killing the cows and had to be stopped but it was brought in to UK farming, so you can't be too careful. 

Supper is my main meal at about 7pm.  I have been buying organic grass fed beef from Green Pasture Farms. We order every few months.  If you buy more than £80, there is no shipping cost.  Yes that sounds a lot but you can get quite a few things for that and the meat is outstanding!  You can really notice the difference!  

They also sell bones to boil for bone broth (great for making soups), organic butter and cheese, as well as every type of meat and chicken.  We normally buy the mince and I like the 20% fat one, also the diced beef for an organic onion, organic carrot and beef casserole. I am not usually a meat eater but I do feel extremely well after eating their meat. Meat fat is good for you and repairs the myelin sheaths of your nerves, which are made up of 75-80% fat.

If you boil meat or chicken bones for stock, you can make delicious vegetables soups of your choice and I sometimes make sweet potato soup or any root vegetable for winter.

I do love king prawns and also oysters if I can get them.  Our fish shop sells cooked smoked salmon and it is the wild salmon, not the farmed one, which I would definitely avoid. I also eat smoked haddock with organic brown rice.  Some people say white rice is better for you but I don't believe that.  I always feel really well after eating organic brown rice, usually with a homemade curry but I don't feel good after eating white rice.

I often eat organic pasta, which you can get from Waitrose.  It is definitely better on the digestive system than ordinary pasta.  I cook it, then add in basil and tomato pesto sauce, chopped raw basil, tomato juice, black olives and chopped cheddar which melts in. You can add a drop or two of Tabasco, as well as salt and pepper.

We also make homemade pizza.  You buy organic white flour and yeast.  Make the dough.  Then spread out the dough and put your own toppings on, such as tomato puree, cheese, mushrooms, salami slices, etc., or whatever you like, to put into the oven.  At least you know what's in it and there are no nasty preservatives or food additives.  It sounds like a fuss but once you've made the dough, is quite simple.

The truth is that most flour nowadays is genetically modified flour.  Hence any cakes, biscuits, etc., in the shops are usually made with this.  If possible, buy only organic flour, either white or wholemeal. It is a real pleasure to bake cakes and biscuits using these and at least you know they are nutritionally better to eat.

If you are a lover of salami, the best salami in the world is Hungarian salami, which is absolutely delicious!  I've found an online Hungarian shop where I can order whole salamis online.  I usually get two large whole 400g salamis and they last more than two months for all of us.  Two cost about £30 including postage but they arrive very quickly and last well because you can't eat too much of it at once!  I know people will say what about nitrates but this particular salami has been made for decades and I do trust it compared to the flabby salami in the supermarket!  I used to buy this salami in the 1970s in London and I can absolutely assure you that it is exactly the same now as then. That is not true of many foods today that have changed.

Tomatoes.  I absolutely adore them but these days I barely eat them as they are all genetically modified.  You can see that by the tiny white fleck seeds in them, even the so called organic ones!  In the 1980s I used to buy farm tomatoes when I stayed in Bristol, which were so delicious!  The seeds inside them then were round green seeds which contributed to the gorgeous flavour!  I remember talking to a man in a fruit and vegetable stall around 1996 and he told me that tomatoes were the first thing that were genetically modified.  It made me furious!  I would give anything to taste the real tomatoes we used to have.

Broccoli is another one.  It used to be very tender and flavoursome in the 1980s and 1990s.  Now it is tough and flavourless.  When you boiled broccoli, the water would go green.  Now that doesn't happen.

Unfortunately, even in our excellent local fruit and vegetable shop I notice that a lot of things there have been genetically modified.  If you see larger than normal fruits or vegetables, you can be sure they have been genetically modified. You have to be very discerning and pick things out carefully.  If you see insects around them, you know they are okay.  Insects would not go near fake food.

I once contacted the UK Food Standards Agency to ask them if our fruit and vegetables were radiated.  I found out that yes they were!  Radiation effectively kills your food dead.  The whole point of fruit and vegetables to eat the life inside them, which is what happens if you pick them from your garden and eat them straight away.  So people who think they are being healthy eating their salads, are in fact eating effectively dead food.  

If you can, pick fresh dandelion leaves and chop them finely with some kitchen scissors into your salads.  You will feel really, really well after eating.

It is good to eat all kinds of nuts and I like cashews and brazil nuts, which we get from the fruit and vegetable shop. I also eat mangoes, which don't seem to be genetically modified and are incredibly good for you.  Also bananas and black grapes.  There have been very sweet black grapes from South Africa in the shops for the past couple of months, as it is the end of their summer.

My most important food is Avocados.  To keep feeling well, I must have at least half an avocado every couple of days!  Pick out the ones that look a bit purplish in colour on the outside and if they have some markings on the outside, they usually are very good ones.  Unfortunately the ones that look a bit yellowish are awful.

I will eat roasts but worry about halal obviously, with nice organic roast potatoes, peas, organic carrots and we make the gravy with a Kallo organic stock cube and Dove Farm organic cornflour (both from Waitrose). There are lovely flat rib roasts from Green Pastures but you have to cook them very slowly for about three hours in a 140 oven.  We put some nice flavourings on them before we roast.

I make a delicious lasagne with the mince meat from Green Pastures, with a thick vintage cheddar cheese sauce, using the Dove Farm cornflour and organic milk.  When it comes to cheese, we like the Cornish Quartz cheddar from Waitrose, which is very strong and we don't eat any processed cheese.  I also love the St. Agur blue cheese, which is great if you chop a little into your salad.

I do eat crisps but only the Tyrells ones, though now I am a bit wary they contain seed oils, so not often and not many.  Seed oils must be avoided like the plague and cause inflammation of the body.  They are in absolutely everything.  You buy sundried tomatoes in a bottle and the oil is seed oil and the same with artichokes.  I love artichokes but noticed there were unnaturally huge ones in the fruit shop.  When I cooked one, it just never cooked inside.  I am so sick of these scientists thinking they can improve on Nature!  They can't.

So cook only with Virgin Olive Oil, which should look green, not yellow, or otherwise cook with Coconut oil - perfect if you are making a curry.  Avoid all those seed oils completely, such as corn oil, rape seed oil, sunflower oil.

Fruit juice is not always very pure, so we use Cawston Apple and Elderberry juice and we also use the Cawston tomato juice which is good quality. Again from Waitrose for those in the UK.

I also eat the Duchy full fat yoghourt and Duchy cream, as well their organic vanilla ice cream.

I do like Earl Grey tea, which I have with organic whole milk and one level teaspoon of organic coconut sugar.

When it comes to chocolate, eat only dark chocolate and we eat the Hotel Chocolat or Green & Black organic ones.

Try to avoid all synthetic or processed foods completely and you will feel much better, your digestion will thank you and in addition you will keep your weight down!

MAHA's Real Food Pyramid

 

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Finally, a good food guide! After all the bad advice on healthy eating, this is now being binned in the USA by head of HHS, Robert Kennedy, Jr., with his new Real Food Pyramid!  

For years people were told to eat lots of carbohydrates and avoid meat and fats.  Now high quality proteins are at the top of the pyramid and people are being advised to eat butter, ghee, tallow, lard, unrefined coconut oil and olive oil, as well as organic grass fed meat and good quality eggs.

People are obviously still advised to eat vegetables, fruit and nuts, as well as whole wheat bread. Sourdough bread is much less heavy on the digestive system.  However, I will be looking at bread making machines and will use organic whole wheat flour or spelt flour (which makes delicious bread!)

As Hippocrates, who was the 'Father of Medicine', said: "Let Food be Thy Medicine"! 

HHS has also announced that from next Autumn, doctors will finally be taught the core basis of health, which is nutrition.  Previously they only learnt a few hours of nutrition in their entire medical course and most likely learnt the old food pyramid, which dates back to the 1970s.

Eating a low fat diet is bad for your health as we need good quality fats, so feel free to eat full fat yoghourt and organic cream but ditch the seed oils from your diet, which cause inflammation in the body. Animal fats supply the body with vital nutrients such as Vitamins A, D and K and are crucial for the myelin sheaths surrounding nerve fibres. These fats also protect the body from inflammation and help absorb nutrients from our food. 

I recommend eating a protein only breakfast and I personally eat two eggs every single day with no toast or carbohydrate.  I find that eating only protein for breakfast keeps my energy up for longer and is better for the digestion.

Charlie Kirk says in fact you can live healthily by eating no carbohydrates at all but suggests 10%, certainly cutting them down anyway! 

As regards sugar, I presume that everyone knows that it is bad for us! If you must use it, then use organic coconut sugar, which is a great alternative for your tea or coffee.  We make cakes using it, along with organic whole wheat flour, good eggs and butter, and mash a banana in to make banana cake.  

It is okay to have some carbohydrates and I recommend a balanced diet but just try to eat real food.  Most flour nowadays is genetically modified flour, so buy organic if you can.  Also organic pasta is better than ordinary pasta.  Avoid pizzas unless you make your own dough and add your own fillers, as there are loads of weird additives in them.

At the moment we are making bone broth from both beef or chicken bones left over from our meals.  You simply boil the bones on a very low heat to simmer for a few hours.  Then strain off the liquid, keeping the fat in it and make a soup out of it. This is extremely beneficial for people with osteoporosis or weak bones, giving collagen and bone nutrients.

You can use any vegetables to make the soup, so winter root vegetables are good, such as potatoes, parsnips, carrots, sweet potatoes, or perhaps broccoli.  You can cut them up and boil them in the bone broth, then let it cool down and use a hand held blender to blend the vegetables and make a nice thick soup.  Add a stock cube and we use organic Kallo stock cubes, plus some salt and pepper, as well as any other flavouring you might like. 

It is quite interesting to note that in the past people with tuberculosis or people recovering from long term illness who had lost weight, were prescribed full fat milk, plenty of eggs and lots of butter and meat to build them up again!

In the UK, farmers have been treated badly by the government and the supermarkets, which give them very poor returns on their products.  So if you are in the UK, I am urging people to search online for organic farms and order direct.  Sometimes you need to order over a certain price to receive free delivery but it is worth it, as you can store the food in your freezer.

We are thrilled with the organic farm we order from and the meat is absolutely delicious, reminding me of the meat I used to eat in the 1970s in Somerset, when all meat was organic.

UK farmers are now talking about creating cooperatives, farming supermarkets that the people can buy from directly. This would cut out the middle man and give them fairer prices.  Here in the UK we should all support our farmers.

You can read more on how to eat only healthy food to lose weight and to stay slim in my article here, where I go into it in more depth.  Eventually, you will immediately recognise which foods to avoid because they are very unhealthy and quite honestly horrible for your digestion and for your health!

Boost Your Energy with Noni Fruit Supplements!

By Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I am going to write today about a supplement that I have used for twenty-five years, which I absolutely adore and that gives me loads of energy!

The Noni plant is a small evergreen tree which grows up to 1,300 feet on the beaches and forest areas of South Pacific countries, notably Hawaii and has been used for centuries. 

The Noni Fruit (Morinda Citrifolia) I use was sold by Regenerative Nutrition but they are currently attempting to find a new source, as they cannot get it at the moment from their original wholesalers.  As Regenerative Nutrition only use the purest ingredients, they have had difficulty in obtaining it and I have been endeavouring to find a good organic brand to replace theirs until they re-stock.  

I would advise only the best organic Noni Fruit capsules if you can find them.  People in America, where there is a much bigger choice of supplements than the UK, might be able to get a good quality organic Noni fruit extract product.

Noni fruit not only gives you energy but it is also a supplement to take if you have cancer, like Curcumin, the painkiller. In fact a federal grant was given to the University of Hawaii to study whether Noni could alleviate cancer symptoms.

I remember an acquaintance getting off a plane in the morning exhausted and we gave them two Noni pills and their energy dramatically picked up for the rest of the day!  It you can find the right product, it is an absolute life saver if you have a really heavy day ahead or awaken feeling tired! I found that an hour after taking mine, I would have a burst of energy.  So people in the UK must look out for when Regenerative Nutrition sells it again, as theirs was definitely the best.

Noni was originally used for diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems but was traditionally known as the headache or migraine remedy. It is also excellent for the endocrine, metabolic and immune systems.  

It is specifically helpful for disease prevention and deterioration due to aging. Noni opens up the body cells, making them more receptive to receiving nutrients. It contains a large number of antioxidants which destroy free radicals in the body and this is why it appears to help cancer patients.  

It stimulates the endocrine system to produce secretions for good health and metabolic function, as well inducing peaceful sleep and calming the nervous system. 

Noni stimulates the pineal gland, that produces melatonin and serotonin. Because the pineal gland is the master gland of the body, this in turn activates the other glands in the body to work better, namely the thyroid, thymus, pancreas, prostate, ovaries and adrenal glands. 

If anyone knows of a good organic Noni Fruit supplement, please let me know in the comments! This one might be worth a try!  You can also buy Noni Juice to drink. 

Unfortunately for many years I have noticed that if there are really good supplements which actually do work, the pharmaceutical industry is not happy, as they want people to only using their Pharma medicines.  So they will do everything they can to get those products banned or removed.  If that doesn't work, they buy up the supplement companies and reformulate the products to make them less effective!

Brain Fog - Take Activated Charcoal or Zeolite

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

This is just a quick article to tell you what I discovered recently.  Sometimes I wake up with brain fog and I have found that taking either Activated Charcoal capsules or Zeolite will clear my head very quickly and completely.

I would advise taking these at least once a week.  You can buy Activated Charcoal easily on Amazon.  Get one which is 2000mg per capsule. 

In the picture above is a combination of Activated Charcoal and Zeolite, which is a very good idea! I have bought the Zeolite only product from Kiki Health but as you can see above, they make the combination product.

Activated Charcoal is very good if you have been to a party and have a hangover.  Take a couple of capsules before bed and you will wake up feeling absolutely fine! 

It is also very good for food poisoning and got someone I know completely better when they were on holiday.

It is used in hospitals for people who have taken a poison or a drug overdose to remove the poison or drug.  It basically picks up and excretes in the stool any toxins that are in your bloodstream.

Zeolite picks up any heavy metals in your bloodstream and removes them.  There are two more in depth articles about both Zeolite and Charcoal on my blog.

Nowadays, unfortunately we are all surrounded by pollution, chemicals, toxins and heavy metals, not just in foods but also in the air we breathe.  Once you breathe air into your lungs, any toxins or heavy metals quickly go into your bloodstream and around your body.  These are also transported in the bloodstream to your head and around your brain, so hence the brain fog!

Anyway, these two products will quickly clear your head and you will feel much better. As we are all being subjected to this every day, everyone needs to take these on a regular basis, so they don't play havoc in your body and cause illness.

Please note that people taking prescription drugs, will also have these temporarily removed as toxins particularly by the activated charcoal, but you will probably take another dose of your medication fairly quickly. However some care should be taken. 

Hydrogen Peroxide for Sore Throats, Teeth Whitening and More

 

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Hydrogen Peroxide or H2O2 and is basically oxygenated water, made up of two hydrogen molecules and two oxygen molecules.  It is used as an oxidiser, bleaching agent, disinfectant, antimicrobial and antiseptic, in a dilute solution in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.  The above food grade hydrogen peroxide is for consumers and is only 12% strength but still needs to be greatly diluted with water for human use. 

If you suddenly get a bad sore throat, get a medium sized glass, put one teaspoon of 12% hydrogen peroxide in half a glass of water.  Then gargle with it for awhile and you will find the sore throat disappears!

When you clean your teeth in the morning and night, keep a small glass of water with one teaspoon of 12% hydrogen peroxide by your basin. Dip your toothbrush in it, which will remove all germs on the toothbrush before you clean your teeth and again after you finish.  Over time, your teeth will whiten!

The hydrogen peroxide will remove bacteria at the edges of your teeth and gums, as hydrogen peroxide will kill the bacteria. This will help prevent toothache. Dip the toothbrush in a hydrogen peroxide and water mix, this time in a smaller cup with less water and one teaspoon of it and if you clean your teeth with this mix around the gums, the toothbrush will become frothy.  Your teeth will become whiter and your mouth will be fully cleansed and antiseptic.

I wrote an earlier article about using lemon juice to dissolve plaque around the teeth and gums, which works very well if you do it every night. I have discovered that only lemon juice dissolves the plaque.  This practice will prevent painful visits to the dentist for people with gum disease.  Some people are concerned that the lemon juice may remove the enamel of the teeth but I have not found it so.

The other day, I slightly cut my finger while chopping something.  Just a tiny nick but I was worried a little food might have got in, so I dipped the finger into a water/hydrogen peroxide mix for a little while to cleanse it and it later healed perfectly with no problems.

Another thing I have used it for is to internally alkaline my body.  I have actually drunk hydrogen peroxide in an extremely dilute glass of water.  For this, take a large glass of water and put in about half a teaspoon of the 12%.  If the hydrogen peroxide you buy is higher than 12%, you will have to try to calculate how much to put in as I am only talking about the 12% product in this article. If in doubt put as little as possible! You will know if it is too much, as it will burn when it hits your stomach! Don't worry you will be fine if that happens!  It is safe in small doses.

Hydrogen Peroxide has its own distinctive taste.  If your dilution is too strong, you will taste it but really it should be so dilute that you can hardly taste it at all.  That is how you can gauge it.

When I buy a bottle of 12%, I would divide it up and draw six lines along the bottle and pour one sixth into another 500 ml bottle, which I dilute by filling that up with distilled water or purified water.  Then I use the 500 ml diluted bottle but that still needs to be diluted again in a glass or cup.

I have drunk it when I have cystitis or heartburn.  It gets rid of it immediately and after only a small amount! Yes, it gets rid of cystitis! All illness with 'itis' means inflammation. It just quickly alkalizes your system, makes it alkaline, instead of acidic (inflammation). 

Again, if you have cancer, a tiny bit in water every day, would be very helpful, as cancer always involves inflammation and acidity in the body and as hydrogen peroxide is oxygen in water, it clears inflammation away quickly.  Oxygen itself is the greatest cure for inflammation.

According to an article I am reading, which adds further uses to the ones I have already tried, hydrogen peroxide mixed with water can remove foot fungus if you soak your feet in it for about 10 minutes.  Here it says you can make up half with 20% hydrogen peroxide and half with 50% water. It's probably safer if it's more concentrated for the feet.

Further, the article says cleaning your contact lenses with very dilute hydrogen peroxide is the best way of disinfecting them without harming them.

The article also suggests you use it for household cleaning including wiping in areas with dust mites, cleaning your windows with a little, a tiny bit in your dishwasher for perfect dishes, cleaning your children's toys, bleaching your clothes to remove stains, disinfecting walls, cleaning your fridge, cleaning your chopping boards.  

In addition, it suggests using diluted hydrogen peroxide on spots on your face, for lightening your hair and putting some in your bath.  For lightening hair it suggests using half 3% hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle with half water and spraying on your hair which will gradually lighten your hair naturally.

I think it is relatively easy in America to buy hydrogen peroxide for every day use but in Britain it is hard to find.  The above pictured food grade Hydrogen Peroxide 12% is from a company in Britain called Health Leads UK.

You will probably find even more uses for hydrogen peroxide, as I have!

Humoral vs Cell-Mediated Immunity in Vaccine Damage

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity are both part of the human adaptive immune system. They have distinctive roles and operate using different cell pathways.

Cell mediated immunity is the first line of defence and uses mature T helper and T cytotoxic cells, which recognise pathogens and antigens. These T cells will destroy infected cells, such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. Cellular immunity utilises phagocytic white cells (ingesting foreign agents) and cytotoxic activities (poisoning foreign agents). Each is identifiable by a biochemical signature it produces in the form of substances called cytokines.

Humoral immunity acts as the second line of defence using B cells, and antibodies are produced by plasma cells to identify and bind specific antigens, neutralising extracellular pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. Humoral immunity is always active in the body and is circulated by body fluids.

Cell-mediated immunity is the first line of defence and has to be triggered by mature T cells and macrophages, while humoral immunity is the second line of defence, which is antibody-mediated immunity.

Cell-mediated immunity has a long term memory, remembering previous infections or antigens, while humoral immunity has a short term memory. Both cell-mediated and humoral immunity work together in a coordinated defence.

Major medical journals state that in healthy people there is a bias towards cellular immunity, while people with allergies, asthma and auto-immune diseases tend towards the humoral immunity. 

There is considerable evidence that vaccines disturbs the cell-mediated immune balance, causing the alarming rise in allergies and other illnesses in small children and infants. According to Dr. H.H. Fudenburg, a renowned immunologist, with hundreds of publications to his credit "One vaccine decreases cell-mediated immunity by 50%. Two vaccines by 70%. Triple vaccines like the MMR markedly impair cell-mediated immunity, which predisposes to recurrent viral infections, especially otitis media, as well as yeast and fungal infections.

So if your body encounters a new and novel pathogen that it has never encountered before, your cell-mediated immunity kicks off to counteract it with your white blood cells fighting it. Then you might react by initially sneezing to repel the pathogen and if that doesn't work you may experience all the symptoms of a cold or flu, as your body tries to overcome it.  

The symptoms of a fever, runny nose, cough, colds, flu, rash, etc., are due to your cell-mediated immunity trying to expel infected cells from your body. These reactions are essential to maintain a healthy body. However, If your body encounters a pathogen that it remembers from the past, it can deal with it without you experiencing a cold or a flu.

Every cell in your body has your name on it, so to speak, almost like an individual code. That is because every person is totally unique.  Hence your body will recognise foreign cells as an enemy to be removed as soon as possible.  This is how humanity has survived for thousands of years.

However, if you introduce a vaccine containing cell lines from another human or an animal, this confuses and disrupts your cell-mediated immunity, which is your first line of defence.

Eventually with enough vaccines and foreign cell lines injected into you, your body no longer relies on its cell-mediated immunity but relies instead only on humoral immunity developing antibodies. This is precisely the goal of vaccines and what they are meant to do.

There is also a school of thought that by injecting substances directly into the body via a vaccine, this completely bypasses the cell-mediated immune system, which is stimulated when you breathe in or ingest a pathogen naturally. By injecting vaccines directly into the body, it starts to rely entirely on its humoral immunity, which is less effective. 

With too many vaccines, the cell-mediated immunity becomes repressed and can no longer ward off invaders, so acute disease is replaced by heightened antibody responses. The person then becomes susceptible to countless chronic diseases instead, such as allergies, asthma, eczema, Crohn's, colitis, etc. We haven't eradicated disease with vaccines but merely replaced them with chronic conditions, for which there may be no effective cure.

In patients with autoimmune disorders, the immune system cannot tell the difference between healthy body tissues and antigens that need to be attacked.  The result is an immune response which destroys normal body tissues.

Dr. Harold Buttram states the following:-

Prior to the introduction of vaccines, the Th1 cellular immune system of the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems served as the primary defence systems with the Th2 humoral immune system in the bone marrow, serving a secondary role. There is a school of thought that the "minor childhood diseases" of earlier times, including measles, mumps, chicken pox, and rubella, which involved the epithelial tissues of skin, respiratory, and/or gastrointestinal tracts, served a necessary purpose in challenging, strengthening, and establishing the dominance of Th1 cellular immune system during early childhood. 

Current vaccines against these diseases, in contrast, being directed at stimulating antibody production in the bone marrow, are bypassing the cellular immune system and thereby tending to reverse the roles of the cellular and humoral systems, with the former suffering from a lack of challenge. In addition, the cellular immune system is being further compromised by the powerfully immunosuppressive effects of the MMR vaccine. The time is overdue to totally rethink and redirect our current childhood vaccine program.

Augmented NAC Removes 99% of Spike Proteins

 

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Many people use ordinary NAC but recently it has been discovered that using Augmented NAC removes 99% of the C19 vax spike proteins and reverses the damage from the vaccine.  Although standard NAC is beneficial, it has limited absorption and is less effective for reaching brain cells.  The Augmented NAC is a superior form of NAC.

Dr. Tina Peers, a UK General Practitioner, explains how and why it works and how she gives it to all her affected patients. She says most of the negative physical symptoms they experienced after the C19 vax disappeared when they starting taking Augmented NAC and she recovered health.  She states that all of her own symptoms reversed and she intends to continue taking it on a regular basis. You can listen to this video of Dr. Peers explaining everything HERE. 

But Augmented NAC does even more than remove the self-replicating spike proteins from the Covid 19 vaccine.

According to the People's Health Alliance, Augmented NAC reduces oxidative stress by boosting glutathione and dopamine, protects brain cells from damage by regulating neurotransmitters, thereby supporting mental clarity and emotional stability.  It enhances mitochondrial function, boosting brain energy and focus.  It supports neuroplasticity improving memory and learning and aids mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety and OCD.  It is very useful in cases of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases as well. This was shown in a 2020 study published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. Also a 2021 review in Neuroscience & Biobehavioural Reviews also confirmed NAC's ability to regulate dopamine and suggests its potential for reducing ADHD symptoms and improving cognitive performance.

In addition it is excellent for heart health and one person claims it has cured their heart condition which was functioning at 45% and attained 100%! Augmented NAC supports cardiovascular health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which are the two key drivers of heart disease.  By boosting glutathione, the body's master antioxidant, it protects blood vessels from damage and reduces arterial stiffness.  It also lowers homocysteine levels, a known risk factor for heart disease, thereby decreasing the chance of strokes and heart attacks.  

Studies have shown that NAC enhances nitric acid production which helps regulate blood pressure and circulation.  In addition, evidence suggests that it may reduce the risk of blood clots as well.

However, to many people, finding something that genuinely removes the C19 self replicating spike protein is a truly wonderful thing.  So many have been damaged by that vaccine and millions killed by it.  I have been hearing that Augmented NAC is the very best product to remove this dangerous time bomb in people's bodies. 

The only other one I have heard of which also removes spike proteins is American Dr. Peter McCullough's The Wellness Company product called the Ultimate Spike Detox, which contains selenium, curcumin, bromelain, nattokinase, black seed extract, black pepper and dandelion but I personally believe, from reports I have heard, that Augmented NAC is better. Do make sure you if you buy it, that it is the one in the picture at the top of this article, as that is the correct one.

UK shoppers can order Augmented NAC with 10% off.  See the end of the article HERE.

Zeolite Detoxes Heavy Metals

 

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

Zeolite is a substance which forms when volcanic lava meets seawater.  It forms very porous small cages with a unique charge within the cage and on the surface.  This charge occurs when the minerals from the seawater lock into the structure and transform from molten rock to beneficial mineral. Zeolites gain and lose water reversibly without changing the crystalline structure, becoming molecular sieves.

Zeolite adsorbs and binds toxins, releasing radicals and heavy metals from the body and excretes them, thus boosting the immune system.  This means that it does not enter the cells of the body but merely attaches to them (as opposed to absorb).  It also balances the pH of the body, creating an environment where foreign cells cannot live.

As Zeolite has a negative charge it is drawn like a magnet to toxins, pesticides, radiation and heavy metals which have a positive charge and sucks them up into its structure.

Many serious illnesses are associated with the build up of heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, etc., and Zeolite will detox these out of the body.  We are constantly exposed to heavy metals, radiation and other types of industrial waste in our environment, causing harm to the body and making it become acidic.  In addition this can eventually cause cell death when cell membranes become clogged and suffocate.

Zeolite is also a highly effective Antioxidant because it neutralises free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with unpaired electrons, which are highly reactive and can do a great deal of damage to cells when they come into contact with tissues, DNA and cell membranes, making cells malfunction or die. Zeolite absorbs the entire free radical preventing it from causing further damage to adjacent cells. Therefore Zeolite is believed to be one of the most important substances for maintaining health.

This is why Zeolite is excellent for the gut and digestive system.  Also for the liver and kidneys because of its ability to purify and it will also boost your immune system. There is no healing crisis or sick feelings when taking Zeolite. This is because it has a strong structure which protects the bond between the Zeolite and the toxins, so nothing leaks out.

Anyone can take Zeolite as it has no adverse effect and is non toxic. If you have a chronic illness, it is best to take it three times a day at first but otherwise can be taken once a day. It depends upon the toxicity of the body but most people have high levels of heavy metal toxicity and it is likely to be connected with numerous health issues.

There are different types of Zeolite and not all are good quality. Some Zeolite may not have a high level of purity through contamination of the soil.  I buy the Kiki Health one which is an excellent brand that I thoroughly recommend. I do not see the Zeolite capsules on the Kiki Health website, which may have to be purchased through another company.  They do sell the Zeolite powder or Zeolite with Activated Charcoal powder.  Americans can probably find a good brand.

The best type should be the Zeolite-Clinoptilolite.  

Touchstone Essentials make Zeolite drops or a Zeolite spray which can be sprayed into small children's drinks and they will not taste it, as a means of giving it to them.  Older children can probably take the drops which are cheaper. This can be very effective to remove heavy metals due to vaccines and many people highly recommend doing this for children who are vaccine damaged. There have been truly astonishingly excellent life changing results reported!

Dangers of Calcium Supplements

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I have written about my friend who took calcium supplements for at least 20 years and the terrible side effects she experienced, becoming so stiff she could hardly move. See here. Even so, she took only natural calcium supplements, not pharmaceutical ones.

When people are diagnosed with osteoarthritis or osteoporosis, the doctor is very quick to prescribe calcium supplements.  I have heard that the pharmaceutical calcium supplements have made some people feel very unwell.  The natural health calcium supplements are better.

The truth is that in fact our bones are made up of 12 minerals, including Calcium, that is Boron, Chromium, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Phosphorus, Selenium, Sulphur, Silica and Zinc!

However, apart from young children, adults do not need to take any calcium supplements because there is calcium in literally every single food we eat!  It is not just dairy products but fruit and vegetables as well.  Since the knowledge of vitamin and mineral content in foods has been lost or never taught, people are in ignorance of it.  As mentioned in my dieting article, the book by Adele Davis 'Let's Get Well' lists all the vitamin and mineral content of foods at the back and is very interesting to know. 

I have also heard that old people given calcium supplements by their doctors become extremely stiff and unable to move.  The truth is that as we age we have more calcium in our bodies, not less.  This is why there are so many stiff elderly people around.

I would advise not taking calcium supplements at all, as there should be sufficient in your diet. 

Those people who have been taking them and become stiff, should try to detox the calcium by taking a calcium chelator, either EDTA, Chanca Piedra (an Amazonian herb known as 'Stonebreaker') or DMSO. They also say apple cider vinegar helps. The homeopathic remedy Calc. Fluor also removes excess calcium and should be taken in a very low potency, such as the 12x.

It is quite common for doctors giving people routine X rays, to see calcium deposits present.

My friend was so stiff, almost unable to move from taking calcium for so many years after incorrect advice from a practitioner, that it has taken her five years to clear the calcium build up and this has been a heavy load for her kidneys to detox.  Of course there is the obvious danger of kidney stones as well, which can be broken down and removed with Chanca Piedra. Chanca Piedra is also good for the kidneys.

The answer for strong bones is vitamin D3 in a sensible dose (2,000 i.u. a day), Vitamin K2, Magnesium, Zinc and a teaspoon of food grade Diatomaceous earth in water gives lots of Silica, which is a bone strengthener.  The Diatomaceous earth also kills intestinal parasites!  The other minerals that make up bones should be in your super multi vitamin if you are taking the right ones.  I use Mercola Wholefood Complex with added Multivitamin plus vital Minerals for Women.

In addition, be careful not to take very high dose Vitamin D3 as it will pull calcium out of your bones, which will add to the calcium load.  It must always be taken with Vitamin K2.

So please advise any elderly friends or relatives not to take these calcium supplements, which are often handed out by doctors like sweeties!

DMSO, the Safe and Effective Miracle Drug for Arthritis, Pain and Disability!

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

DMSO or Dimethyl Sulfoxide, was discovered and used in the 1970s and 1980s.  Doctors raved about its success in a large number of conditions but the FDA, worried about Pharma drug sales, got it banned!  This has happened with a variety of other safe and healing natural medicines.

It has recently made a big comeback and people are finding it cures a very wide range of conditions, such as severe arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, chronic back injuries that lead to disability.  It is a very effective and safe painkiller.

DMSO works for headaches, neck and back pain and strains, sprained ankles. It effectively heals the joints in rheumatoid arthritis. Hip joint problems could take a little longer as the blood circulation does not get into these large joints as easily, so it is better to rub DMSO on the hips directly.  However knee pain can be dramatically healed. It relaxes the muscles.

It is recommended to take immediately after a stroke, as it significantly increases blood circulation around the body.

DMSO removes edema and excess fluid around the body, particularly in the joints. Although the FDA banned it, it did recommend it for interstitial cystitis.

It works miraculously for osteoarthritis and for all chronic pain and disability, sometimes producing dramatic healing after use and has a 80-90% success rate!

In over 60 years of use by millions of people, DMSO has never been linked to a single death!

It is therefore far better to take DMSO as a painkiller, than NSAIDS or opioids, which are very dangerous and have killed thousands.

It is highly effective for healing wounds, making it very popular with sportsmen and women and creates healthy scars (actually removing excess scar tissue).

DMSO can be rubbed on the skin for any sore or stiff parts of the body but it can also be taken safely by mouth, as one small teaspoon per day, thereby reaching all parts of the body internally.  You can mix a small teaspoon of DMSO with apple juice or juice of your choice, which will take away the slightly bitter taste. You can probably increase the amount you take over time, to one teaspoon twice a day.

There is an unusual side effect of DMSO and that is a faint smell of garlic is produced by the body when you first start using it but which over time and frequent use, will disappear.  That's okay if you like the smell of garlic but the many benefits outweigh this!

You can buy the Organic one by Regency Organics (pictured) in different sizes.

DMSO is also a solvent, which can remove painful calcium deposits by liquifying the calcium for excretion in the urine, rather than removing them as calcium crystals, which can aggravate the kidneys and bladder. By liquifying the calcium deposits, they can be removed from the body more gently. A great number of people have excess calcium in their system, causing painful stiffness and calcium deposits are frequently picked up on X rays.

To read the full research on DMSO including a large number of studies, this is an excellent treatise on the subject by A Midwestern Doctor, who writes on a variety of medical subjects.

DMSO is a Miraculous Therapy for Chronic Pain and Musculoskeletal Injuries

How to Lose Weight Naturally by Eating a Healthy Diet

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

There have been thousands of articles written on this subject but I would like to tell you what I did to get slim and stay slim!

When I was a teenager in the mid-1960s, there was a fashion model icon named Twiggy, who was terribly thin and we female teenagers all wanted to look like her!  Years later, I realised that being so thin was actually not at all attractive and in fact quite ugly.  It made us look as though we were suffering from malnutrition and many girls became ill on the extreme diets they went on!

These diets very often consisted of starving ourselves to achieve the impossible goal of skinniness. Unfortunately I found out that they used to do that to pigs to fatten them up.  In other words if you go on a starvation diet and lose weight very fast, you will not only put all that weight back on, but you will put on even more weight than before!  It is very foolish to do this.

I understand some people for different reasons decide to go on a fast in order to detox their bodies, where they just drink water and eat fruit.  In the short term there is nothing wrong with this, as long as it does not continue for more than a few days.  I am talking about women who want to be very thin and starve themselves to achieve this.

For many years after Twiggy was in Vogue, the fashion for thin women continued.  It was a pity to lose all those feminine curves.  For older women, this kind of diet can have an aging effect on their faces.

So on the starvation diet, I would lose weight fast and then of course my willpower would desert me, I would be really hungry and I would put all the weight back on plus more!  I also noticed that every time I did this, the weight would come off more slowly than the time before. 

Anyway, I realised that if I was going on all these starvation diets, I really needed to know which super healthy low calorie foods I should be eating.  I came across this book, Let's Get Well by Adele Davis, which is still available today.  At the back it lists every food and which vitamins and minerals they all contain.  This helped me to make sure I was getting enough of them on my low calorie diet.

It is very bad for your body to yoyo like this, as your stomach shrinks when you starve yourself and expands when you overeat.  Yet the body thrives on a regular diet with regular meal times, where the size of your stomach remains constant and you always know when you have eaten enough.  This is the first goal you need to achieve, where you never overeat and you have no desire to do so.  Try eating more slowly, as this will help and also is much better for your digestion.

Eventually after years of dieting and counting calories (!) one day I realised that all I had to do if I wanted to be slim, was to simply eat Natural Foods.  This means no synthetic or processed foods whatsoever.  

So you can eat meat, fish, seafood, eggs, all cheeses, all vegetables including potatoes, all salad foods, all fruits, all nuts.  (This is not a Keto diet!)  For people who want to eat bread, yes, you can.  Just eat sourdough bread which is very digestible and more healthy than other breads.  If you buy organic whole wheat flour, you can maybe make your own bread.  I only eat butter and have never eaten margarine, which I do not recommend.

In addition, you can have chocolate but only the very dark at least 70% chocolate and I eat the Green & Black one, but I only have about 3 small squares of it after supper.  In the old days, I would want to eat the whole bar but I learnt to remind myself, that if I had a little, there would still be lots left for tomorrow!

You can also have a glass of red or white wine but only one glass or one beer.  It is horrible having to give up everything for a diet!  That's what puts people off!

If you desperately want cake, you can make one with organic whole wheat flour but without very sweet icing on it.  Refined white sugar is bad for us and I only use organic Coconut Sugar, which is great and I use it if I make a banana cake. Even brown sugar is basically just dyed white sugar!

The problem with most of our biscuits, cakes and bread is that it is made with genetically modified flour, which is not at all good for your body.  I buy organic digestive biscuits.  If you are in the UK you can get them from Waitrose made by Dove Farm.  This brand also makes spelt flour, and I still need to try making a spelt loaf, as it is delicious.  In the UK you can get Duchy whole wheat organic flour from Waitrose but you can also get these things from a good independent health shop.

Yes, I know these things are more expensive but remember you are going to be eating less! What you put in your body is so important because you literally are what you eat!

Start to seriously identify which is real food and which is not. You will find that eating these real foods will fill you up and they are healthy and good for you.  They contain vitamins and minerals necessary for your body. In the 1950s and before that, most people were slim because they all ate real food, as most of their food was anyway organic.  It was only in the 1990s that genetically modified fruits and vegetables started to be grown.

However, the point I am trying to make is that a diet doesn't mean you have to give up everything you like eating!  It always seemed that way to me in the past. You can have the things you like but just make sure you get the organic version and you do need to train yourself not to eat too much. 

Now I always make a joke that if everything in the supermarket was priced in relation to how many vitamins and minerals were in it, most of the products would be free!  Sadly our foods and drinks are full of very nasty additives, which our bodies do not know how to break down or digest and they often end up as excess fat.

Diet coke is an example.  It is full of aspartame, which is very bad for you and it does not help you to lose weight.  In fact most people I know who take it are fatter than ever, so it makes me wonder. In addition I met a diet coke addict who ended up in a wheelchair.  All the so called Soda drinks are full of sugar and unfortunately we really should not be drinking them, as sugar feeds cancer or causes diabetes.  Better to drink mineral water or pure fruit juice mixed with mineral water.  

There are laboratories that make food flavourings, additives, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, dyes, amino acids. Many of these are not at all good to eat and bad for the body. They come in lots of products in the supermarket, especially heat up meals and jars of sauce.  Some of these additives have been created to be addictive because the food companies want you to keep buying their products! 

Be careful with crisps, as they are coated with food flavourings, which are often artificial.  Food flavouring is a growing industry used to enhance the taste and sensory experience of foods and beverages.

You can have pasta but I would avoid pizza which has lots of additives.  If you make pasta, try to buy the organic pasta and I do not eat any of the pasta sauces in bottles.  You do not know what additives are in them.  It is quite easy to make a pasta sauce using tomato juice as a base and adding tomatoes or vegetables.  I do add basil pesto to mine, as well as olives and even grated cheese.  For cheese, try to not to buy the very processed types. Of course Parmesan cheese is lovely with pasta, you don't need much and it will last for ages in the fridge.

Unfortunately if you want to eat healthily, you will need to cook things from scratch yourself, so then you know exactly what is in your meals!

Things don't always have to be expensive.  You can make an aubergine curry by frying the pieces in coconut oil and then putting the curry ingredients in.  Again, I use a good quality tomato juice for the sauce. I buy organic brown rice to eat with curry, which is very nutritious and full of vitamin B for the nerves.  

You can also make soups by boiling up vegetables, blending them, then adding salt, pepper, even a bit of organic cream!  I buy organic Kallo stock cubes.

One of my favourite health foods is avocado and I often spread it on a piece of sourdough toast with butter and a little salt. I always feel so well after eating it. Make sure your butter comes from cows with no dangerous Bovaer in their diet.  I emailed to find out and get Castle Dairies butter from Waitrose, which is delicious.

Sometimes I make a mozzarella salad with slices of avocado and slices of tomatoes.  I then chop fresh basil over it and add sundried tomatoes finely chopped.  Salt, black pepper, olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar make it an absolutely delicious meal!

For salt, never use table salt which contains anti-caking agent and is very bad for us.  I use Himalayan crystal salt but sea salt or Celtic salt is also good.

We are told to avoid seed oils, which are very bad for us, people use them for cooking and they come in lots of different products.  I only use a good quality olive oil for frying and cooking, except when I use coconut oil.

Yoghourt is delicious but I am very wary of the fruit yoghourts, which contain high fructose corn syrup.  I buy organic plain full fat Greek yoghourt, add a teaspoon of organic strawberry jam (or whatever jam you like best), stir it in and there is your fruit yoghourt that you know exactly what is in it.  Takes only a minute to make. I don't worry about 'full fat' products.  We need fat and it is not fattening!

If you have a party or want to make a quick dip to eat with your kettle crisps, here are some of the dips I make, which are very quick and easy. 

Put a few tablespoons of organic Greek yoghourt into a bowl, crush a couple garlic cloves in and add some fine Himalayan crystal salt.  Stir and it is delicious if you like garlic!

If you like blue cheese.  Put a few tablespoons of organic Greek yoghourt into a bowl, add blue cheese, especially St. Augur which is very soft, a tiny bit of salt and stir it well.  Absolutely divine dip!

You can make the yoghourt dip with a teaspoon of Indian Lime Pickle, using only the sauce of it, not the actual pieces of lime.  Stir the yoghourt and Lime Pickle sauce and you have a lovely curry dip!

I also make a dip with good quality cream cheese and smoked salmon cut very finely in, with a touch of salt.

None of the above are fattening, except perhaps the cream cheese, although that contains no carbohydrates. 

Also the dips you buy in supermarkets are full of nasty weird ingredients and nearly always seem to add sugar! The ones above are delicious and pure, much nicer!

As regards milk, we buy the organic whole milk containing cream.  The ordinary kind may contain hormones given to the cows.  I do like my Earl Grey tea with milk and put one small teaspoon of coconut sugar in it.

I know it is like a minefield trying to avoid dangerous foodstuffs but over time you will get good at it!  Getting the Adele Davis book above is a good start, especially if you want to know which foods contain the most vitamins and minerals!

The worst thing about dieting is feeling as though you have to go without, but later you will realise clearly that some of the things you have been eating, are horrible and bad for you.  Dieting can mean that you think of nothing else but food, which makes it more difficult. Once you are in the right habits that will stop. 

I would also recommend not weighing yourself every day but maybe once a week.  It can become obsessive.  Better to judge your weight loss by how your clothes fit! 

So the way to get slim and stay slim is basically avoid all synthetic, processed or junk food.  Eat only real food and try not to overeat. This way you will lose the kilos slowly (which is the best way to keep them off for good) and eventually reach your target weight.  You will also feel much better if you eat healthy food.  It doesn't have to be boring and you don't have to feel deprived.  Eventually, it will become a way of life and then you will always be slim!

How to Effectively Remove Excess Scar Tissue

 

by Louise Mclean, LCCH.

I remember my Mother telling me that years ago she was advised by a nurse to beware of Adhesions, which was basically scar tissue that can block the bodies natural processes.  My Mother had abdominal surgery a couple of times and adhesions or scar tissue can block the digestive tract and be very dangerous.  This of course would mean repeat surgery when it happens.

For those people who have had Caesareans, instead of natural birth, it will be true for you as well.

There is a wonderful little homeopathic remedy called THIOSINAMINUM that very quickly dissolves scar tissue and will remove any blockage and pain almost immediately when you take it.  In fact I did have to give my Mother this remedy when the doctors thought there was a blockage in her digestive system and it worked perfectly!

Unfortunately over 30 years ago, I was forced into having a Caesarean for my second child and the scar tissue can thicken over time.  I have frequently used this remedy when I felt pain or blockage under and around the surgical wound.

The other night I felt a very sharp pain which I located as under my Caesarean scar, quickly took the Thiosinaminum 6c remedy and the pain and presumably the blockage disappeared very fast!  Homeopathy works really quickly when you take the right remedy!  But it could have escalated into a major emergency if I had not got this remedy to hand.

As scar tissue is considered to be on a gross physical level, I take a low potency, so I recommend buying Thiosinaminum 6c.  This is the best potency to use.

With homeopathy you take low potencies 6c or 30c, possibly 200c for physical ailments and much higher potencies for solely emotional and mental problems - 200c, 1m, 10m. (1m = 1000c. 10m = 10,000c).

Of course you do need scar tissue for the body to repair any surgical wound but it is only if it starts to become excessive that it will cause problems.

It is a very good idea to buy the Thiosinaminum 6c to have in case you ever have this problem because it can happen at the most inconvenient times and be very painful.  You simply have to establish the fact that the pain is located around and coming from under your scar inside your body, which is not that difficult to do.

According to the Homeopathic Materia Medica books Thiosinaminum also works for enlarged glands, lupus, strictures of rectum, opacities of the cornea, cataracts, fibroids and scleroderma.

"Especially good for arterio-sclerotic vertigo, tinnitus, catarrhal deafness with cicatricial thickening, formation of fibrous bands impeding free movement of the ossicles.  Thickened ear drum. Deafness due to some fibrous change in the nerve." (Homeopathic Materia Medica with Repertory, by William Boericke, MD.)

Thiosinaminum is a chemical called Allyl sulphocarbamide derived from oil of mustard seed. Trituration of the crystals.
