Cannabis and Alzheimer's

Here is a link to an article on the Natural News website, quoting several scientific studies that are showing some really positive indicators toward Cannabis for treating Alzheimer's.

I have suggested Cannabis (Hemp) essential oil for people with cognitive disorders, "brain fog", memory loss, and seizures; as well as pain relief and lung ailments.  Now we are beginning to hear from others in the Buyers Club who have begun using this amazing oil.

One member used a semi-homeopathic remedy of 1 drop Cannabis oil, 4 drops stevia, and 1 ounce of water.  With the very first dose, as it touched her lips, she observed the sensation of energy moving through her body, down to the Earth, and back again.  The remedy entered her lungs and chest, and a small cough that had been hanging on for 4 months (and would not clear up no matter what she did) was gone within a few days of beginning the remedy.

She has also experienced sleeping better within a few days; now her sleep feels very deep and regenerative.  She is also dreaming more, and remembering her dreams.  Best of all, she has reported a feeling of "brain fog" lifting, feeling much more clarity and mental focus.

Several people I know are using a Cannabis homeopathic remedy to support the process of letting go of addiction to the recreational drug aspect of this plant.  They are all also using high frequency organic foods to support the change, and so far each of them reports to be doing very well with the transition.

I have personally  been using Cannabis as a semi-homeopathic remedy since it first arrived, a couple of months ago.  I began by blending it with saffron and stevia in purified spring water.  The remedy has really helped me to release old physical stress patterns that had surfaced, connected with childhood experiences that are releasing at this time for me.  The remedy settles my mind into a relaxed and focussed state, while releasing muscular stagnation; and it does so very quickly within taking a dose of the remedy.

We would love to hear more from some of you who are using this essential oil yourself and for your clients.

Note:  This essential oil is not made from the Cannabis that contains THC.  It does not carry the "high" aspect of the recreational drug.  It is made from flowers of the Hemp plant, and contains cannabinoids,  which are legal constituents in  herbal remedies.

CEA levels

Do you have any experience with raised CEA levels on a test with someone using English Chamomile topically and taking OTC pain meds (or even blood thinners) type pain meds while on chemo pills (Xeloda)?

There is a lot going on here that could be causing the high CEA levels.

For our readers, CEA, Carcinoembrionic Antigen, is a protein that is found in the blood of human fetuses.  It is also found in people who may have certain cancers, some benign tumor conditions, and cancer that has returned after treatment.  Testing for CEA does not necessarily indicate that the person has cancer, but increased blood levels of CEA are an indication that further testing is necessary. 

My personal preference is working with people who have exhausted their options with western medicine.  When western medicine has given them all that it can, and there are no more options, people become willing to give the alternative path their full commitment.  And it becomes easier for a person to let go of the constant checking, testing, and proving that goes on as a matter of course.  

All of the testing that patients are subjected to, can become an emotional burden that breeds fear, especially when the test results do not match up with the improvements that a person is experiencing as they go through the intense herbal cleansing process to recover from cancer.  That said, I know that many healers are now working with people who are dancing between western medicine and alternative medicine, and there are special ways to support them.  

When a patient is taking a chemo drug that is killing off cancer cells, it very likely would raise CEA levels in the blood.  

Blood thinners change the liver over time, and change how the liver processes and breaks down proteins in the blood, which is also very likely to contribute to high CEA blood levels.  

I can not make a generalization about over the counter pain medicines, as I do not have any experience with this or know how it relates to CEA levels.

Chamomile essential oil, used topically,  could possibly contribute to higher blood levels of CEA.  It is absorbed by the blood and carried throughout the body when used topically, and it does trigger immune responses and activate the body’s cleansing mechanisms.  Cleansing may temporarily raise the CEA blood levels as toxins and cancer cells are broken down and eliminated.  

The thing to realize here is that the intention of cleansing is to gradually eliminate toxins and impurities, and gradually rebuild the internal environment into a healthy state of equilibrium.  If the CEA levels rise during certain parts of the cleansing cycle, they will certainly fall again if the cleansing is effective and doing what it is designed to do.  

If people are going to be tested during initial stages of cleansing, they should consider doing several tests over time to get an idea if the cleansing protocol is working, before taking any drastic action.  Cleansing takes longer than suppression; but cleansing has the potential to eliminate the cause of the condition, whereas suppression just keeps it suppressed in the hope that it will go away on its own.

I hope I have addressed your question--if not, please comment below.  

Many blessings go out to you.  Kathryn

Treating Warts with Essential Oils

Here is an e-mail I received recently from a Buyers Club Member.  The photos really say it all!


The amazing power of thuja in just 1 month. You are very accurate in your instructions of 30 days! This was straight pure drops of thuja oil (1drop) twice a day for a month.
I made a cream last week with thuja to put on while he sleeps to speed  up the process of removing the remainder of smaller warts on his hands. I'll keep you posted. Boy oh boy!!! Nothing short of amazing!! LOL

Thuja is a very potent oil that should be diluted for most uses.  However, when treating warts, it is most effective when used neat (undiluted) and applied directly to the wart.  

Warts are caused any a virus; it also helps to take an internal anti-viral semi-homepathic remedy or tea, and/or to receive spinal compresses with anti-viral oils such as lemon, frankincense, oregano, may chang, geranium, tea tree, etc. to avoid just allowing the virus to go dormant and hide out in the spine.  This combination of treatments can eliminate the virus entirely so that it does not return.

Buyers Club Update-July 2014

Hello members, we have just sold our final nebulizing diffuser.  We have been searching in earnest for a suitable alternative to stock, but so far have not found one.  We do have a couple of possibilities to consider.

We hope to have more information for you and/or a new diffuser to offer for the next order, coming in September.  In the mean time, we will be out of them for this order--sorry for the inconvenience!

In Gratitude,

Kathryn

Maintaining Healthy Teeth and Gums

Several of our members and readers have been requesting that we outline the program that we used to regenerate our teeth and gums, back in 2001.  We have continued this program with varying levels of commitment, since that time.

Our Histories

Michael was a smoker for 18 years.  He had orthodontal work done when he was young, with full braces, tooth extractions, and wisdom tooth extractions. He had cavities that had been filled with mercury fillings; and significant gum pockets with some gum infection.  He also had a couple crowns, and his teeth moved out of alignment when he slept.  He often clenched and ground his teeth when he was asleep.  Dental x-rays showed that he had a root canal or two in the past.  (In 2011 Michael had a restoration done which added more crowns.  At first, he felt as though he had failed, since he was unable to remineralize his teeth.  However, the dentist looked at his x-rays and told him that he had the best bone density and healthiest roots that he had ever seen!  Under the surface, all kinds of regeneration had been taking place).

I also had orthodontal work done as a child, with full braces, tooth extractions, and wisdom teeth extractions.   The work required small hooks to be drilled into my teeth, which created my first cavities, which were filled with mercury amalgam.  I also have discoloration on all of my teeth from fluoride in the water where I was born.

We started this program back around the year 2001.   Today, we are both very happy with the health of our teeth, gums, and bone structure.  Even the whiteness of my teeth has remarkably improved over the last few years.  Here is our tooth care program.

Every morning:  

• Begin the day with Oil Pulling.  Here is a great little article on how to do it:  http://wellnessmama.com/7866/oil-pulling-for-oral-health/   We swish for 10 to 15 minutes.  We use cold pressed sunflower oil for this, and have had great results.  Recently I have switched to Coconut oil, for a little difference in flavor.  (I see no difference as to the result).
• Follow with tooth brushing, using a natural toothpaste--the best ones are the ones you make yourself.  See MY FAVORITE TOOTHPASTE RECIPE below.
• Follow by swishing the mouth out with food grade hydrogen peroxide, diluted to about 3%.

During the day:

• Use floss or toothbrush after eating.  
• If you are dealing with gum infection or pockets, swab your gums with 10 drops of Marigold Extract (Calendula officianalis) mixed with 1/4 teaspoon raw honey.  Follow this in 5 minutes with swishing hydrogen peroxide as above.

Every Evening:

• End the day with tooth brushing, using your favorite home made toothpaste or tooth powder.
• ALWAYS end with oral irrigating;  we prefer the Oxyfresh oral irrigator, there is also a good one made by Water Pik.  This is really one of the biggest keys to keeping your teeth long into the future.  (My Dad started out with poor teeth as a kid, lots of cavities--then in his 30's he started using an oral irrigator every day.  He is 85 now and still has his teeth--thanks to Water Pik!).

Tea for regenerating teeth:

Teeth need lots of healthy minerals and trace minerals.  Calcium is a big one, but without the proper balance of Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium (not the kind you find in Morton's salt!) the teeth will lose calcium no matter how much of it you try to supplement.  Always look to the magnesium and sodium levels first if you are going to try to supplement your diet to re-calcify your teeth.

Many really good minerals are provided in this nourishing tea.  You can use this one for up to 3 months, then it is time to change the formula a little, by removing horsetail and comfrey, and replacing them with cleavers, plantain, and dandelion leaf.

• Mix together dried herbs:  1/2 cup horsetail, 1/2 cup damiana leaf, 1/2 cup raspberry leaf, 1 cup nettles, 1 cup dandelion leaf, 1 cup comfrey leaf*, 2 teaspoons clover leaf, 2 teaspoons yellow dock root powder, 2 teaspoons sarsaparilla root powder.  Mix well, store in a glass jar, and label.
• Use 1 Tablespoon of the above tea in 1 quart of boiling water.  Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then strain it and drink the whole quart through the day.  Drink the tea daily to support the regeneration of teeth and gums.

*Comfrey  is regarded as toxic by some sources.  It contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are known to irritate the liver.  Herbalists to not consider this amazing plant to be toxic at all--even though it contains this toxic substance in its list of constituents.  Because it also contains a number of balancing constituents that neutralize this effect, comfrey has actually been used to heal the liver and digestive system for many generations, without toxicity issues.  I encourage everyone to research the issue and make their own informed decision as to whether to use it or not.  The recipe will be effective with or without the comfrey added.

MY FAVORITE RE-MINERALIZING TOOTHPASTE RECIPE 

5 T. Calcium carbonate powder

1 T. Kaolin clay  (if not using baking soda, increase this to 2 T.)

1 T. Baking soda (I often make the recipe without this ingredient)

1 T. Pascalite clay

3 T. xylitol powder (or 13 drops stevia extract)

3 to 5 T. Coconut oil

10 drops Concentrace trace mineral supplement

A few drops of essential oils, your choice of Peppermint, Spearmint, Orange, Lemon, Cinnamon, Cassia, Clove, Myrrh, Lemon Ironbark, Vanilla, or Grapefruit.  (Nice combinations are Peppermint/Orange, or Cassia/Lemon).  

First, ground up the calcium carbonate in a blender or food processor, if it is in tablet form.  Add all dry ingredients into a small mixing bowl.  Mix together well.  

Add the rest of the ingredients, saving the coconut oil till the end.  Add one tablespoon at a time of the coconut oil, mixing after each one.  Stop adding it when you reach the desired consistency. 

Store toothpaste in a small mason jar or buy your own reusable toothpaste tube here.  If you use a mason jar, use a popsicle stick to scoop toothpaste out onto your toothbrush and avoid contaminating the paste.

Another great recipe for remineralizing tooth paste is here; check it out.

A Note About Regenerating Your Teeth

More and more dentists are believing that it can be done.   More and more people are doing it.  You can do it with just a little commitment, intention, and action!

Remember, you do not have to follow this program flawlessly to get spectacular results!  There are many days where I do only half of the things on the list, and I have achieved a level of health and regeneration to my teeth, that makes me smile.  Even if you commit to just one thing every day, such as using the Oral Irrigator, you will notice improvement.   And more will come in time, as long as you stay committed.

We welcome your comments--share your results with us!
