Week # 3 on DDT Detoxification

To recap phase one of detoxifying from DDT:

Sima instructed me to stay at the same potency until I felt no more reactions; good or bad. The reason for keeping me on the same potency is because I have had reactions on the 30c potency and we want to completely erase the disturbance at this energetic level before we move to the next potency. The energetic imprints can be located at different energetic levels, depending on how deeply the disturbance entered the energetic field of the patient.

Excerpt from "Victory Over ADHD" a holistic approach for helping children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Reflecting on my childhood, I realize what likely caused my persistent illnesses and attention deficit disorder. The 15 amalgam fillings (containing mercury) were one contributing factor.

Fish oil does not improve cognitive function, according to new research. Researchers in England found that fish oil did not benefit the cognitive function of elderly adults after two years of daily supplementation. In a double-blind control trial, 867 people with a mean age of 75 years were assigned to either a fish supplement (200 mg EPA plus 500 mg DHA) or placebo (olive oil) group. Participants were given various tests for cognition including reaction time, spatial memory, and processing speed measurements. No significant differences were seen between groups.

The life-long solution to obesity and poor health is to discover, and then follow, the diet that is intended for people – there must be one for us, just like there is a proper diet for your dog and cat and all other animals.

Soy products are remarkably versatile. Manufacturers have found ways to turn them into soymilk, veggie burgers, hot dogs, ice cream, yogurt--you name it. One day, they'll probably turn soy into snow tires. Because soy products are so widely consumed, some people have raised the question as to whether they are safe. The biggest question mark was whether they affect the risk of breast cancer and, for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, whether they would help or harm their chances for survival. After years of research, science is weighing in. Here is what the studies show:

Occasionally, I get asked “what do you eat?” I understand that it is a natural curiosity especially for those starting out on their health journey. But a classroom or lectern are poor places to truly answer such a question and I typically demur. Actually, I have trouble with the question. In my opinion, we all need to tailor our diets to our personal needs and my diet should never be your diet. Just as on the outside we all dress differently, on the inside our organs and glands are also unique.
