Focus:
A deeper connection with the body, with this protocol, keeping an open mind to the communications from the body and welcoming this next phase of healing.
Repetition:
I am grateful for this journey.
I welcome my intuition, I love all versions of myself, I love all versions of my body, I am at peace with all ways my body communicates with me and I know I am healing.
Hints, Tips and Troubleshooting
This week is a list of hints, tips and some troubleshooting. All should be done in conjunction with the protocol as they may be ineffective without a healthy terrain in the body.
Akkermansia
You can begin taking Akkermansia now. If you need to use for obesity, you may take 6 per day, throughout the day. We cannot ferment this microbe into dairy. Otherwise, take one in the morning a few minutes after your herbal tea.
When You Are Sick
If you are sick, have a health issue arise it is OK. Remember that we are building a resilient body and this does not mean we never have to deal with anything, it means we CAN!! We want to support our bodies during this time and never suppress symptoms so that we can benefit from this experience and actually have better health when it is over.
I personally do not take anything for a fever until it is 104 degrees and for more than three days. I allow my fever to do its job so that my immune system can strengthen and I do not have more serious illnesses down the road. We use feverfew or yarrow to naturally and gently begin to bring down fever.
Please do not hesitate to take occasional medicines if needed. We can use herbals or even an aspirin or anti-histamine if needed for big symptoms and used occasionally. It is not the once-in-a-while things we do, it is the daily and consistent things that make a difference, whether for the betterment of our health or otherwise.
We rest, drink meat stock, kraut juice, warm beverages made of tea or salt and water and fast if the body is asking to fast. Use the tools we have learned to support the body during this time, breathing, laughter, rest, detox baths, welcoming symptoms with gratitude, enemas, sunshine, togetherness and nutrients. Use Green Pasture’s fermented cod liver oil with butter oil daily during illness and two weeks after.
If your particular symptoms require glutamate blocking, drink 3 cups of green tea daily, this works as well as any Rx that is on the market along with the protocol. The three foods of c**cer are glucose, Omega 6 and glutamate. The protocol takes care of the first two by lowering the intake, removing seed oils, and the green tea takes care of the latter.
The protocol will naturally reverse fatty liver, pancreas issues, viruses, neurological issues, auto-immune and many other issues that we do not have to target specifically. We will go into detail more about some specific issues in the future but for now, we want to see how the body responds with all the tools we are giving it.
Ketosis and Numbers
Ketosis in the body creates an environment that is anti-illness. Test your ketone numbers upon waking to know where your true numbers are, this is when your “tank is full.” Many things can affect your numbers throughout the day, even environmental things. If you find your numbers dropping even though you have not increased protein or carbs, know that the body is using the ketones to heal and rebuild.
Hormones
Let’s revisit our hormones. They are affected by environment more than anything else. And they all work together.
We have reversed or are reversing insulin resistance which will begin to balance our hormones. We use the sun and light therapy to correct circadian hormones. We use nutrients, fasting, detox, iodine and ketosis to support our endocrine system. We use the soluble fibre/chicory tea to remove recirculating hormones from our bile, St. John’s Wort and mucuna pruriens teas to help produce serotonin and dopamine.
If your detoxification system is now working well, you can also add in raw liver daily to your diet for additional assistance and oysters are also a fantastic food for hormonal and fertility health. If you need more time that is OK, the environment for a growing baby should be optimal before baby is conceived. We continue to do activities to balance our hormones.
You can use an oxytocin nose spray if you are experiencing difficult autistic symptoms or feeling “blah,” not bonding or crying easily or not feeling happy when seeing baby animals. If you cannot laugh easily, use comedy, cuddle with humans or pets, dance, ask for a massage, use sound therapy, make sure you are not skipping meditation.
If you are a male, be sure to have time alone daily and participate in activities that are traditionally performed by males, keep cuddling to 10 minutes or under, do not vent, and carry heavy things for women. If you are a woman, do talk things over with other women. This does not mean to gossip or reaffirm neural pathways that you are trying to change. But share an experience authentically without judgmental enhancements with the purpose of expressing an emotion and receiving support. Do activities or meet with other women once a week. Do activities that are traditionally female in nature. Cuddle pets and/or children often and if you are without any in your life, watch sweet videos of animals and children. Babies laughing is pure medicine!
FAMACHA Score and Spleen/Heart Support
If you have a low “FAMACHA score,” use beef spleen and beef heart to assist until your body is on track. The pathogen protocol will also be helpful and you may want to address parasites in the future when prompted. In a mirror, gently pull down your lower lid to see the colour of your inner lid. If it is pale and not a healthy red colour, your body needs some extra assistance for now. Dice beef spleen and beef heart and freeze in 1/2 cup portions, thaw and blend to drink at room temperature. Have with lemon juice, NOW brand Vitamin C if tolerated, or otherwise use the tapioca-based vitamin C. You may take the supplements if your budget allows.
Natural Antihistamine
If you need an easy and free anti-histamine, locate and identify plantago major or plantago lanceolata, which are both plantain weed, broad leaf or long leaf respectively. You may crush and use it topically, or juice it to use internally. If insect bite/hives/reaction swelling is significant, please use internally and on site, applying a new dose topically every two hours and taking 2 TBS internally every 2 hours while awake until you notice a decrease in symptoms. You may also use quercetin, DAO or beef kidney, bromelain or nettle tea to aid in histamine reaction.
Cough and Pain
Mullein tea can be used to help a dry cough become productive and the leaves burned near you and inhaled slightly (think incense) can be used to dry a wet cough. Christopher’s Stop Ake, an herbal supplement, can be used to assist in pain relief if needed. We prefer to use deep breathing, nature and rest as the regular pain management methods.
I would not use ibuprofen in my body unless it was a post-surgery situation or something similar, and none of my other strategies were working. I would not use acetaminophen. I would choose aspirin if possible. It is not the occasional things that have the biggest impact, it is the daily actions we do or do not do that affect us the most.
Antibiotics
I personally would only use antibiotics for life-saving reasons such as sepsis, bacterial meningitis, etc. For non-life-threatening issues, I would use the proper microbe and/or herb/homeopathy/nutrient. Do not underestimate sun, laughter, grounding, detox and togetherness. And if you must take antibiotics, it is ok. They have a place in our recovery, be grateful for them and do three months of microbial medicine. See Week 88 for microbial information after antibiotics, and use half capsules after the antibiotics are completely done. Our son would not be here without antibiotics.
Sleep and Relaxation Aids
Lemon balm tea, hops, mimosa tea or tincture, valerian root can all be relaxing. Onions on the feet, lard or goose fat on the chest, mustard powder on the chest can all be helpful during an illness.
Garlic
Garlic cloves, crushed and swallowed, are a powerful antibiotic. Begin at 4 cloves per day and increase if needed. I would only take that high of a dose for no more than 1 month. They can be crushed and applied to infected wounds as well.
Sinus Infection
For a sinus infection: use mineral salt and water in a neti pot. Blis Probiotics a few times per day and before sleep in the mouth, crush with a tiny bit of water and place in ears and nostrils. You can use 1/4 lozenge each dose.
Lugol’s Iodine
Lugol’s iodine can be used in the mouth, on wounds, on acne, for toe and fingernail issues, on sunspots, on tick and other insect bites, on spider bites, etc.
Warts and Skin Tags
For warts, use a fingernail file across the nail for a few seconds, then soak the wart in pure ACV for 2 minutes. Allow to dry and apply a drop of tea tree, a drop of lavender and a drop of oregano essential oil. Repeat a few times daily until wart is gone.
Apply Lugol’s iodine, then a piece of crushed garlic to skin tags, tape and repeat a few times per day until gone. Sausage tree salve and Lugol’s iodine have been found to be effective for the removal of skin c**cer, and black salve works both on the skin and beneath it.
Eyes and Vision
Eye issues can be assisted with 6 teaspoons of fermented cod liver oil per day internally for 6 weeks, “looking” at the sun with lids closed for an hour per day, and rubbing castor oil and fermented cod liver oil on lids before sleep. To improve vision, do exercises from “Take Off Your Glasses and See” by Jacob Liberman. If vision is very impaired, see David Webber’s “Seeing Clearly.”
Still Having Trouble Sleeping
If you are still having trouble sleeping, dip your face in ice-cold water 3 times for 15 seconds upon waking, humming for 30 seconds in between. Eat a few slices of raw carrot before your first meal.
Sore Throat
Dissolve mineral salt in hot water, then add cold water to bring it to a temperature slightly warmer than the mouth. Add crushed garlic and allow it to sit for 10 minutes for a sore throat. Gargle three times per day and use Blis Probiotics before bed.
Cold Sores
Raw honey will help a cold sore/fever blister to heal quickly.
Dental
Dental issues are usually sympathetic nervous system issues. Nutrition and minerals are needed for building blocks for the teeth. Kefir, ferment juice, probiotic or Blis Probiotic should be in the mouth just before bed every night.
Mouth taping to prevent mouth breathing while sleeping is to be implemented at this time. Mewing and chewing are to be implemented, please get Dr. Mike Mew’s app, use his free content or use the content of Oscar Patel or Jules Horn for widening the palate and keeping the tongue in its proper place. We will go over this more in the future but it is good to get familiar with this idea now. Mewing is great for high palates, tongue ties, forward head posture, mouth breathing, teeth crowding and serotonin production.
Oil pulling should be done twice per day unless issues are present, in which case increase to 6 times per day along with increasing body scan meditations to two hours per day. Olive oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, sweet almond oil, castor oil can all be used for oil pulling and fermented cod liver oil can be added for additional support for healing dental issues. You can take six teaspoons of fermented cod liver oil per day for dental and eye issues, try for 6 weeks. Plantain weed juiced and swished for 10 minutes per day will aid in cellular regeneration.
Store-bought or mass-produced toothpaste, oral rinses and medications made for the mouth can all be problematic for the microbiome of the mouth. You can brush with oil and/or baking soda occasionally, activated charcoal or nothing. You can also just use a small stick for brushing. Brush gently and be gentle with gums. A buildup of plaque during this journey and/or staining is perfectly normal. You can use a dental tool to scrape teeth at home.
Vaginal Health
If vaginal issues are still present, you may use 20 drops of iodine in water and hold it inside for 5 minutes, then release. This can be done daily as long as needed. Kefir twice per day is recommended away from iodine.
If yeast infection is persistent, you can add a whole garlic clove inside overnight. If it is still persistent, slice a section off the clove to expose the inside of the clove and know it will burn for about 30 seconds, leave in overnight, continue with kefir twice per day. Kefir inserted daily for maintenance is great, and eventually you’ll be able to forget about it because your microbiome will be rebalanced.
Kidney Stones
For kidney stones, drink up to 6 cups of chanca piedra per day and increase your calcium citrate or kefir intake. Rest, take detox baths and drink meat stock.
Mucus and Overgrowths
Mucus is not a problem, mucus is your friend and it is moving microbes out of the body no matter where it is coming from.
Overgrowths are not to be “cleansed” and targeted specifically with antimicrobials. They are protecting you from something or they are there because your terrain is not whole. For example, if you try to cleanse Candida (and it does balance near the end of the protocol), you will just release the metals it was trying to protect you from. Your body needs to be strong and when it is, it will do the job for you. Have faith and do the protocol, trust your body.
Parasites
If you are quite healed and need a little assistance for parasites while travelling or occasionally, use Now brand black walnut and wormwood or a homemade tincture of the same, 3 times per day for the month, ending on the full moon and doing 4 cleansing enemas and one coffee enema the day after the full moon. If you cannot do a coffee enema, you can choose to do another retention enema in its place. You may repeat as needed.
Glutathione and Microbes
Increasing glutathione can be done with coffee enemas, supplemental Biom Probiotics suppositories or Liposomal High Potency by Alphaflow. Please begin to plant the microbe Fermentum ME3 (RegActive brand is good) and you can make this into a yoghurt.
Mealtime Reminders
Do not have cold foods or liquids at meal times. Do not drink liquids (fermented dairy is excluded from this rule) 30 minutes before meals or two hours after.
Urinary Issues
If you experience bedwetting or frequent urination, this is perfectly ok as it is the body detoxing. A UTI can be reversed by taking D-Mannose every two hours while you are awake. Use Microgendx.com to see which microbe may be causing recurring UTIs and use the antagonist to remove pathogenic colonisation.
Skin, Dandruff, Odour
Use kefir or kefir whey topically for dandruff, fungal issues, underarm odour that is present, and do not forgo the daily application to skin, mucous membranes and intake.
Comfrey for Bruises and Breaks
Use fresh comfrey leaves crushed for all bruises, sprains and broken bones. Apply the leaves and tape on, changing every few hours while awake.
Migraines
Use St. John’s Wort tea, Stop Ake, additional minerals, coffee enema, 5.5 breathing, inquiry method and rest for migraines.
Weight and Fasting
Your body will change during this journey. We do not have to focus on weight gain or weight loss. You can lower fat if needed for weight loss or increase for weight gain. You may fast for 24 hours once per week. If you do have extra weight on you after 1.5 years, you may do a 72-hour water fast and I suggest using no screens, using technology as little as possible. Make it a very spiritual experience and prepare well for it, sleeping and being outside the entire time if possible. You will want to utilise the tools of apoptosis and autophagy — cell death and the “self-eating” mechanism that helps cells clean up, regenerate and support overall health. Day three of a fast is when the body creates new stem cells. This is recommended for loose skin as well.
Circulation and Heavy Legs
If you have blood pooling from a nervous system disorder or poor circulation, use a stationary bike every day, working your way up to 45 minutes; avoid going on walks. Heavy or swollen legs are often a B1 deficiency and can be a mineral imbalance. Rise up and down on tiptoes to help with this, increase rebounding outside with bare feet, elevate legs with bum against the wall and use a stationary bike daily increasing slowly to 45 minutes.
Brain Exercises
Begin additional brain exercises that are specific to any issues you may be having. There are many resources online and you can search by using “brain exercises for {memory, balance, problem solving skills, brain retraining, etc.}” and incorporate them into your daily routine.
I hope you find some of these helpful in your journey! Thank you for doing the hard work, the work only a fraction of the population is willing to do and for changing the world, one you at a time!!
