Re: Individual choices to John
John how long have you been using the borax as shampoo? I think
parasites also play a part in the dandruff problem. I've used the borax as shampoo for about three weeks and I am just now begining to get some scalp relief. I didn't have horrid dandruff (as long as I used either tea tree oil shampoos which are expensive or shampoos that didn't leave residue) but I did itch and have what were some type of break outs when I sweated. The breakouts are lessening finally. I've switched to vodka as deoderant. I'd like to find some way to scent it as I think it stinks. Haven't made my own soap yet but I use borax instead so that isn't an issue. Baking soda as toothpaste. Laundry and dishes washed with borax and vinegar. I have dropped everything from my life that might have wood alchol in it.
These are fairy easy changes for me as I've used borax as a cleaner for years. I used to add washing soda as well if something was really germy or greasy. Used the book 'Recipies for a Green Planet' for the formulas with excellent results. Dr. Clark doesn't list washing soda as safe so I've not been using it. The only problem I've had so far is that borax makes my hair too hard to brush and tangles easily so I need some type of conditioner. Probably because it is long and has been dyed (more toxins ::flail::) a few times. I tried olive oil as a conditioner but it didn't work. Though I was vegetarian for about 10 years I can no longer do that as my blood
Sugar problem prevents it. Cheese is still my weakness. I am finding giving it up a real bummer.
I started
parasite cleansing the spring before last. I had been on my last
parasite cleanse for at least 5 weeks before I started these flushes. Hadn't seen any
parasites for over two weeks then I used the zapper and within a week I was passing more parasites. My third flush was done after using the zapper for over 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure I am
parasite free now, or at least I should be since I've been using herbals and zapper for over 10 weeks now. Except for candida which is probably the cause of the blood
Sugar problems. Apparently that is a little harder to get rid of and can't be completly gotten rid of till the
Gallstones are all gone. I am still subject to blood
Sugar problems despite all this parasite cleansing. Maybe my pancreas hasn't healed enough yet. But more likely till the
Gallstones are also all out and my liver has healed I'll still have blood sugar problems since the liver is also a factor in blood sugar levels. BTW there is one vague sentence in her first book that says that it might take up to 4 months to completly clear up a parasite problem that has led to cancer symptoms. In that reference she says that the paths between the cancerous area and the bowel have to heal up or the
parasites can reinfect which leads me to think that it might take up to 4 months to completly clean parasites out of our lives and be ready for a flush if we use your theories of when it is safe to flush.
As to the colon cleansing that might be a factor for other people but trust me I'm clean. My brother in law almost died when his colon burst last year so that was in incentive to keep myself cleaned out. But toxins may be key. I am an artist by trade. Can you imagine all the chemicals I have been exposed to over the years? Not too many now but there was a time when I thought I was immune to the dangers they represented. And that would have been a daily exposure during parts of my life. Plus I got very unhealthy 5 years ago when I had a lot of dental work done. I have a feeling when I can afford to get all the metal out of my teeth I'll be fine.
Yet, despite still having metal in my mouth and other toxins in my body, I am less ill with each cleanse. Especially now that I figured out how to keep my sugar up after taking the oil and juice. And I want to emphasize that I am only sick during the time the liver is actually about to contract. The sickness I feel is consistent with how I feel when my blood sugar levels are crashing. I sometimes throw up while not on the flush when my blood sugar crashes. I have had no nausea from taking the oil except for when I did the oil and lemon juice seperate method (very nauseous) and when I forgot and had a food with fat (slightly nauseous) in it early in the day.
Here we have the crux of the matter. How can someone be free of toxins if one of the main toxin removing organs of the body is congested with stones? I don't think it's possible. How can the colon be healthy if the liver isn't producing bile like it should? I personally think all of it is linked together. Yet toxin cleaning is second on her list of things to do. Are you saying that someone shouldn't do the flushes till the parasite symptoms are gone, hence possibly months?
And despite all these healthing changes I am curious to know how many people have done more of the toxic house clean up than what we have already talked about. How long did it take them? I suspect that unless they are single or without kids or cats, and working in a field that is toxin free that not many are able to do this in any type of expedient manner.
I myself still have paints in my house. Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of them and they aren't going to the garage because it's not heated. The cold would ruin them. In fact my studio is in my house. I haven't figured out yet how I am going to keep them out of the house because this is where I paint. I was planning on adding an addition to the house for a new studio and now I am rethinking how to add it so as to keep the toxin odors out. I haven't painted this whole month anyway because these cleanses have taken priority.
And despite everything I may say that agrees or disagrees with what you all are saying there are still people who have followed these cleanses totally out of order and produced good results without getting sick. There are people who eat during the cleanse and don't get sick. I am simply amazed that they can do that but they do it. While I choose to use Dr. Hulda's method as closely as possible I don't think it's the only way. Surely you all have read the other posts from people who don't follow the Dr. Clark method.
As an afterthought, I sure hope you don't think I can't handle a liver flush..... I was just saying that the reason I had blood sugar problems and hence a blood sugar drop during the flushes was because of toxic buildup in the liver and other organs. I am handleing them fine, with excellent health benefits and lots of stones. In fact the flush that produced the most stones happens to be the one that I felt sick throughout it all and wasn't the Dr. Hulda method at all. Produced about a cup and a half of stones of all sizes. It also happened to be the one that started healing my sinuses. And I have had no shoulder pain since my first flush.
The main reason I posted to begin with is I have a hard time when people present one road to health or anything as being the only way. I also have a hard time when artists tell me there is only one way to paint. I feel there is a tendency to jump to conclusions based on your own experiences rather than look at what everyone is experiencing.
Take care,
