Hi Uny and everyone Greetings AngelofEventide -
I was just getting ready to log off and get some sleep, but I want to take a few minutes and answer your basic questions (and then gather more info). Normally my answers would include complete & lengthy explanations, but I'm going to have to be much briefer than 'normally' .
I have been "sick" for about 13 or so years now. The two conditions we have narrowed it down to are Lyme, Lupus or both. Have tested positive for both, but anyone familiar with these two issues knows it's not as cut and dry as that. Lupus can immitate Lyme. Lyme can immitate Lupus. Lyme can trigger Lupus, etc. 13 years is a LONG time to be sick - I'm sorry you've been through so much. Yes, "they" make these out to be very complex, but the cure for ALL diseases is much simpler than the 'complexities' - it's all about 'form & function'...repair, rebuild and solidify the foundation .and the body's healing schematics (with our help) can take care of the rest. It all about getting the body back into it's NATURAL homeostasis, balance and harmony (using only truly natural substances & protocols)...and letting the bodies advanced healing schematics and knowledge take care of the rest. I like this synospis: http://www.docsutter.com/pages/How-%22Cure%22-Happens.html
Anyway, for sure I know I am toxic. I can feel it. Over the years I have done tons of parasite cleanses, candida cleanses, several liver flushes, candida diets, no dairy, no sugar, no wheat, no f'ing flavor or life! Sorry, I am just so frickin' p.o.'d right now (got the Lupus diagnosis this afternoon and while it is not a shock to me, I am just so upset). I totally understand why you'd be upset...and I definitely understand about the 'no flavor or life'! No need to apologize here (emotional "flow" is a GOOD thing!) The other good thing is that you do NOT have to fit into their prognosis, and you CAN heal your body and be in control of your health & life. You just can't do it using "alternative therapies" that are based on "allopathic & scientific medicine & protocols" (that we already know don't work for allopathic medicine). Anyway, I am interested in doing the protocol but had a few questions.
1. Can I use a Rife while doing the IP? No. In natural healing we use natural substances and protocols/therapies, and allow the body to decide & generate the frequencies it needs at every variation/level of healing. "Forcing a frequency" is similar-kinda to forcing a boatload of heavy metals & poisons out of the tissues and into the bloodstream (chelation) before the organs of neutralization and elimination can neutralize & eliminate them. This is forcing of an action is not natural (and can be very harmful) to the body. The body can & will generate it's own perfect healing frequencies (just like the body can detoxify itself). "Forcing frequencies" is also kinda-similar to the various 'energy rebalancing' protocols & therapies. I do understand "Rife" and know of it's/his successes...but I also know that if it worked consistently, everybody would have a Rife machine and there'd be no illness. It's all much more complex than this (of course) - perhaps we can 'discuss it more' when I have more time.
2 After the program is completed, must one stay raw, or can they implement healthy, organic, lean proteins back in? We're looking at several months 'on the program' - not all will be juice-fasting, and you will be getting ample healthy organic "lean" proteins throughout each & every day (as long as you don't mean "lean meat"). Gerson's juicing & produce 'diet' ensured around 50 grams of protein daily. When you've done all the learning and all the healing, I see no reason why you can't have a very occasional 'meat meal' (if that's what you mean) - heck you can eat whatever you want after you're healed...but I think once you've done all the learning & healing, you won't want to :)
3. If one has candida, can you still do the fruit and molasses aspects of the protocol? You definitely want to read this: Candida Albicans - Intestinal Yeast Overgrowth - Bacterial Dysbiosis - Gut Dysbiosis Candida are saprophytes: *"An organism, especially a fungus or bacterium, that grows on and derives its nourishment from dead or decaying organic matter."They feed on decaying organic matter in your digestive tract - "sugar" is not their "main source of nutrition" (how many thousands of people have ingested 'zero sugar' for months on end, only to find this didn't 'starve them out'? a LOT of thousands). On the IP, you will be cleasning out all that 'dead & decaying organic matter' AND ingesting raw garlic daily (an ultra strong antifungal) that also contains inulin, which is a prebiotic. You'll also be wanting to drink/eat/juice fermented foods, water kefir (or kombucha) to replenish, rebalance gut flora. You can stay 'low-sugar' low quantity on the fruit juices if you choose, but the molasses is important (and won't cause nearly as much reaction when mixed with ACV and garlic). Also, you'll likely find that extra activated charcoal will relieve a lot of the typical symptoms.
4. How long can one stay on the program safely, eating so little? I think, perhaps, you don't have enough correct information. There have been many people that have juice-fasted for many months, but you don't have to juice-fast the whole time. But when you are, you'll be ingesting a gallon of juice daily, potassium/mineral broth, Superfood and herbal teas, you'll likely be getting (assimilating!) FAR more nutrition than you've ever had in your life. And during liver weeks, you'll be ingesting (on average) almost 4 tablespoons of olive oil per day...plus daily wheat germ oil and slippery elm porridge. And you can always sprout and juice raw nuts & seeds, too. If you haven't read this, be sure and check it out: JUICE-FASTING: The POWERFUL healing therapy!
5. Is the Superfood the Shultz Superfood? It's the same Superfood that Dr. Schulze formulated and used when he was in clinical practice. It's not the same as he sells on his website now.
6. Should one expect die-off or herxing? Not NEARLY as much as one does when doing separate cleanses without keeping a steady supply of bentonite & activated charcoal in their intestinal tract via the IF#2 (while ensuring 3 bms daily and ensuring -via other protocols- much improved circulation and removal of toxins & waste).
7. Any additional supplements you would suggest for Lyme and Lupus? Yes, there are several additions...the one that will be most beneficial for Lupus, Lyme AND Candida is extra Echinacea & Garlic. After I see your responses below (and my brain isn't going to sleep), I'll get you more information.
Thank you. You are MORE than welcome. Kir, there really is no such thing as an "incurable disease" (or diseases) - your body DOES have the capacity and knowledge to heal itself (the main thing we have to do is STOP putting things in it and on it that are unnatural to it, and start giving it the nutrition and restoration it truly needs to regain it's homeostasis/balance and harmony, so it's healing schematics can be free to work)
Healthiest of blessings!!
Uny
Kir

If you'd like my assistance customizing an IP for you specifically, then the first start is filling in the blanks below.
