I believe that except for few individuals that have poor immune systems, no one need to fear the flu.  The problem enters in that many more of us have weakened immune systems — by choice!!  Now who in their right mind would choose to have a weakened immune system?!  Mostly it is due to ignorance but partly due to carelessness.  You see, many of us take our body’s health for granted never thinking that what we do and how we eat has anything to do with how our body functions.  Oh how naive…

I am talking about empty food calories taking the place of real foods in our daily caloric intake.  Think  about it this way: do you think 675 calories of ice cream has the same nutrition as 675 calories of chicken caesar salad?  Not hardly.   Well, the salad would fill you up and satisfy you – feed your body whereas the ice cream just makes you feel good for a few minutes then you want something else to eat, right?

No, your body must have certain amounts of essential nutrients on a regular basis, some on a daily basis to stay in top form.  All athletes know this.  They leave off the “junk” food while training and competing because they know empty calories bog them down.  Hmmmm, sounds like maybe we should all eat like we are in training.

Maybe you don’t feel bad now… maybe you don’t know what it means to feel good because you have felt below par for so long.  One thing is certain, if you get sick every time the newest bug comes along, you very possibly have a “pooped” immune system.

There are other factors involved in keeping your body strong including getting enough sleep and managing your stress levels.  But you can get my free ebook that goes into that more in depth here.  I call it Beat the Flu and (possibly) Never Get Sick Again.  Get it here.

While I’m at it, take a look at my other blog where I share time tested natural cures at:  http://justnaturalcures.com Here I like to talk about how this amazing body can heal itself from all sorts of diseases simply by providing it good food plenty of rest and controlling stress factors.

I occasionally get comments on my article on Beginners guide to MMS so I thought I might update my own experience with it.

My family and I use MMS to brush our teeth.  We apply it to bug bites with great success.  Perhaps it would be helpful to take more often, I don’t know, but we get great results with it in any case.

When brushing my teeth, I have not had a negative check up in over a year.

A simple warning to those who think if a little is good a lot must be better:  not so with MMS.  It is easy to think you can handle more but be warned that your body will go into a strong detox with flu like symptoms for a day or so.  Not fun.  So, go easy and add a drop or so every few days till you reach the 18 to 24 drop dose.

Update!!  MMS has been determined to be dangerous by the FDA.

I think this has been due to incautious, irresponsible use of MMS which has brought many to the ER for flu-like symptoms. As many of you will recognize, this is in reality is an extreme body detox and will pass given time.  But because of careless users, the FDA is cracking down on sources and proponents of MMS.

Therefore, I can no longer advise you taking MMS for internal use. Use at your own risk.

Lord willing this will be a year of change – good changes.  I hope to trust in God’s grace more, love others more, be the mother I always dreamed of, wife too…

I have come face to face with my age this year.  Though it is not diagnosed, I have several rough sore moles so I am a bit edgy.  I am treating them with Vitae Elixxir (VE).  I will keep you posted with the VE treatments.  I did a trail treatment on some flat, keratosis cancers on my arms and they came out with “roots”.  So this treatment is more involved.

The one mole on my shoulder was as big as a tomato seed.  But after treating it with VE is has grown to the size of a dime!  Cancers are bigger than they look on the surface kind of like an iceberg – 1 part visible; 9 parts down below!

I guess I am going to take my own advice and do raw veggies and juices sort of a Halleluia diet.  I will be documenting this on my www.justnaturalcures.com so if you are interested in keeping up with it read about it there.

Keep me/us in your prayers.  And God be with you, too!

I found out the hard way that I cannot do a strict detox regimen.  Headaches, debilitating tiredness, nausea, etc.  All these made life miserable for a few days.

I have adjusted my plans to detox to a more gradual program, one that is less strict but effective in the long term.

Here is my plan.  I will drink fresh water throughout the day.  I will eat a good fruit based breakfast with an egg from time to time.  I will have small portions of whatever main course is being served but eat it with a large salad of dark leafy greens and mixed raqw veggies.

It will take longer but I can continue to  serve my family and know I am feeding my body well, too.

Here is what we plan to do:

• For the next four days we are eating only raw fruit and veggies.  I will use a light dressing made of ACV and a touch of olive oil/flax oil with herbs.
• We will drink plenty of fresh well water and herb teas.
• ON Monday, the 17th, we will go to just fruit and vegetable juices.  I will add Perfect food by Garden of Life to “fill in the blanks”.
• I am also doing interval training to help ramp up my metabolism.

I will keep you up to date with the progress as well as any modifications to the cleanse as we go along.

Of course you have to use caution with young infants as there is a concern that the botulism spores may be harmful to the their underdeveloped immune systems.  Botulism is not a concern in a healthy, mature immune system.

Apparently, this doctor in a town in Kansas has been curing folks of Type 2 or what used to be called sugar diabetes with a diet that restricts simple carbs and increases the healthy fats in your diet.

No drugs.  No herbs.  No surgery.  Just a controlled diet.  You will hear me say more than once that the human body “machine” wants to be healthy and spends 24/7/365 in an effort to remain in health.  If health is lacking it is due to the fact that our body either needs one or more elements that are lacking.  Or it needs to decrease/eliminate other elements that are destroying health.

Like a responsible owner of a car would strive to keep the engine in top shape, use the right weight of motor oil, tune up the ignition system, top off water, check tranny fluids, put in the optimal gasoline, etc.  As a responsible “owner” of our body, we must learn what makes it “run” in top condition.  We would never think of adding water to a gas tank or sugar to the transmission.

It seems that too many simple carbs (blah, blah, blah…) and not enough healthy fats are behind the problem!  So why don’t we make a change?!  Why do we continue to eat “junk” carbs and junk fats (in chips, burgers, and fries)?  Only you can answer that one.  I have to answer that one, too.  Personally, I like the taste and “conveniently” forget that such things will catch up with me…someday.

Well, catch up day is here for me!   I get sick sooner, illness lingers longer, I am stiffer in the morning and when I get up from sitting.  Now, mainstream would say, well, that is just natural aging.  I know better than that.  I know I can change that – I don’t have to be stiff, stay sick or even get sick in the first place.  I even wrote a book on the subject.  But I will say right here and now, I forget to take my own advice.

But articles like the one mentioned super charge me to get on it!  I hope it encourages you, too.  Sooner or later the “pain” of our complaints leads us to do something about it.  Some will turn to modern medicine with all its drugs and surgeries. 

I for one will remember a more gentle and long term cure is to eat foods my body recognizes and can use.  I will drink pure water and more healthful drinks.  I will  teach my body to breathe effectively so I can take in the free oxygen that is all around me.  I will take some exercise in some form - daily!!

“Here” is where Debi Pearl or one of her daughters has put together 12 full color lessons on 12 different herbs or spices used in herbal medicine.  Go there now and take a look at these amazing article/lessons.  And who can beat the price?  FREE!  They are also in PDF format so you can download them and look at them at your leisure.

That said, I have been taking it on and off for over a month.  I say on and off because it has been hard for me to take.   I have been taking it in water, though, and Jim recommends taking it in apple juice.   I guess it is because I have an aversion to the smell of bleach, which is a by-product of mixing up MMS with the citric acid or vinegar.  My husband and daughters don’t have a problem with it it’s just me, I guess.

Anyway, from my experience, MMS is making a huge difference in my immunity.  I just don’t get sick anymore.  [Now, I may get nauseous due to the MMS which just means I am taking too much.  I need to remember to back it down instead of having the "more is better" syndrome.]

What can you learn from this?  When you begin to take MMS, follow the dosage levels of 1 drop the first time, 2 the second time, 3 the third time, etc… till you get to a level that you  feel nauseous (hey, it only means we are throwing off toxins – while it is not comfortable, it is not bad).  When you begin to feel fine again a day or two later, continue to increase the drops till you get to your optimum level (roughly 3 drops for every 25 pounds of body weight).  It is recommended to maintain this level for a month. 

Then a good maintenance level is 1 drop for every 25 pounds daily.

Jim is now saying to use citric acid as the catalyst.  At first he was recommended apple cider vinegar (which I still prefer).  The reason for the change is that some of us are sensitive to ACV due to having a yeast over growth.  My feeling is that unless you know you have yeast problems, don’t worry about using ACV. 

Also, use half the amount of ACV than you use of Citric Acid.  I use a 1/4 teaspoon ACV to up to 12 drops; 1/2 teaspoon up to 24 drops.  Use twice that amount of citric acid.

Let me know what your experiences are with MMS.  Since this is so new, I think it would be great if we could maintain a site with testimonies on MMS.

Serious UPDATE from the editor!  Due to the fact that MMS has come under serious scrutiny by health officials and many many comments begging for advice, I have removed the article.  In its place I send you to the original article see link below.  Too many folks are taking MMS carelessly and it is no wonder that the FDA has slammed it so hard.  Use MMS at your own risk.
