Six Miracle Treatments - Zero Prescriptions
Recover from UTIs, Arthritis, Hangovers, Food Poisoning, and more!
I’ve had it up to here with the medical establishment. First, they stole my health when they told me that a certain pharmaceutical was safe. That pharmaceutical destroyed my large intestine and happens to be categorized as “unavoidably unsafe.” Thanks Doc!
Then, when I was disabled by my symptoms, I was told it was all in my head. Doctors didn’t take me seriously until I was in emergency needing to have 75% of my large intestine removed. I suffered all kinds of severe autoimmune syndromes and symptoms ever since, culminating with a recent surgery that left me with a permanent ostomy.
My fear of pharmaceuticals and trauma from the medical establishment has led to me trying every possible natural treatment in an effort to avoid doctors and medications. AMAZINGLY, my journey has led to some incredible discoveries. There are treatments that work MUCH BETTER than the medicines doctors prescribe. Here are some of the supplements and protocols that made miraculously positive impacts on my and my family’s health.
COLLOIDAL SILVER (CS):
The BEST treatment for UTI, Pink Eye, and Burns!
TREATS: UTIS, PINK EYE, BURNS, WOUNDS, TOPICAL AND ORAL INFECTIONS, INGROWN HAIRS, BOILS CAUSED BY INGROWN HAIRS, CYSTS (ON THE BODY), MANY BACTERIAL INFECTIONS (TOPICAL)
I have heard that Colloidal Silver is good to take internally for health, but I have personally never tried it that way. Here are the ways that I have benefited from the use of Colloidal Silver:
UTI: Hands down the fastest and most effective way that I’ve found to treat occasional OR CHRONIC UTI’s (urinary tract / bladder infections) in women is with colloidal silver. I don’t know if this works for men but would be interested to know, if anyone tries. Soak a cotton pad in CS and press it against your pee-hole (urethra) every time you go pee or feel pain. Immediate relief and heals in 1-3 days, unlike antibiotics which often don’t even work and when they do, take a week or more to give relief.
Burns: Whether you burn yourself cooking or sitting in the sun, CS will provide soothing, immediate relief and will heal the burn very quickly compared to any other method. It shocks me that people are not encouraged by doctors to keep colloidal silver on hand for household burns. You can swish it in your mouth after burning your mouth on food or drink. Spray it on a sunburn or use a CS-soaked cotton pad to swab the burned skin. Pour some into a bowl and rest your burned finger there for 30 seconds. You will be AMAZED. Incidentally, hospitals use silver burns. It’s not just me. ;)
Pink Eye: The very best cure for pink eye that I’ve found is actually breast milk, but in case you cannot get your hands on some of that, colloidal silver is the next best thing. Spray CS directly into the eyes frequently. In fact, it helps for all kinds of eye trauma. Use it on your pet’s wounds and eyes when needed too.
Wounds, Ingrown Hairs, Boils, Cysts, Topical and Oral Infections: Soak a cotton pad and then put it over the infection with a bandaid to hold it in place. Women can put cotton pads soaked in colloidal silver in their vaginas to help soothe and heal yeast infections. Swish it around in your mouth to reduce pain associated with cavities and other oral infections, as well as to fight the infection. After swishing thoroughly, spit it out.
Side effects: The only side effect I’ve experienced is if I don’t change the cotton pad often enough, it is a wet pad on a wound. Wounds are supposed to be kept dry. However, I’ve found for some wounds, a CS-soaked cotton pad can provide a lot of relief and fight infection. I make the decision based on how the wound reacts when I take the pad away. There are reports that drinking too much Colloidal Silver can make you turn blue, literally. I never drank it, so I cannot comment on that. For external use, this shizznit is AMAZEBALLS!
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE):
The best treatment for rheumatoid AND osteoarthritis!
TREATS: Autoimmune (rheumatoid) and osteo- arthritis; kills parasites in the intestines; removes pathogens and heavy metals from the digestive system.
Also: improves digestion, strengthens hair and nails, increases rapidity of growth of hair and nails, detoxifies intestines.
I was completely disabled by arthritis. I had it in all of the joints of my body. My children helped me to get dressed and I lived in all-day, chronic pain 24/7. I was desperate to find a cure. I would Google “I cured my arthritis” and try every supplement that ever cured anyone else’s arthritis.
One day, I was scrolling Facebook and an FB friend had posted about Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth being good for arthritis AND digestion. I ordered it immediately and started taking it. Within 2 weeks, I thought I noticed a difference but wasn’t sure if my mind was playing tricks on me. By 2 months, I had significantly reduced my pain medications for managing the arthritis. And, by 4 months I wasn’t taking pain meds anymore. It still took some time for my muscles to rebuild and for me to walk normally again, but I had my life back.
Every person that I know who has tried DE for their arthritis has had significant improvement. I believe a clean diet helps as well. My mother takes it to manage her migraines.
Start with a half teaspoon and wean up over two weeks to one tablespoon. Take it every day in a glass of water or smoothie. I take mine first thing in the morning with water a few hours before eating to get the best results.
Side effects: I’ve never had any side effects and I don’t know of any. But just in case, you can wean up from 1 tsp, increasing over a week or two weeks up to 1 or 2 TBSP per day.
Activated Charcoal (AC):
The best treatment for a hangover!
TREATS: FOOD POISONING, HANGOVER / ALCOHOL POISONING, STOMACHACHE, COLDS, FLUS, ANXIETY CAUSED BY TOXINS, DIARRHEA, BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL PATHOGENS, HEAVY METAL TOXICITY, AND HERXHEIMER REACTIONS.
Also: cleans and whitens teeth, pulls toxins out of skin when used as a paste.
For a person with Crohn’s or frequent diarrhea, activated charcoal is amazing. It changed my life when I started drinking it every day. My health improved dramatically overnight. Activated charcoal detoxifies our bodies from poisons of all kinds by adsorbing pathogens and carrying them out in our poop. Some people use it for fasting. They drink water and take charcoal during their fasts to cleanse their bodies of toxins quickly and effectively.
Oral: Stir with a plastic or small wooden spoon, 1 tsp of AC into a glass of water and drink it down. You can also use it as a mouth rinse and spit it out.
Paste: Mix with coconut oil to the consistency of a paste and apply to affected area.
Side effects: CHARCOAL CAN CAUSE AND WORSEN CONSTIPATION. Take with lots of water at least two hours after and before meals, unless you have loose stools, in which case, charcoal will help to thicken stools and clear out whatever is causing the diarrhea. Charcoal is messy because it is a fine powder that floats into the air like dust. However, it is easy to clean and has never stained my clothes or counters.
Gluten-Free Diet:
The most important treatment for people with any kind of illness.
TREATS: POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARDIA SYNDROME (POTS), CHRONIC FATIGUE, INFERTILITY, LYME, FIBROMYALGIA, ALL DISEASES OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, LEAKY GUT, CHRONIC DIARRHEA, ECZEMA, CELIAC DISEASE, ALL AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS.
What is more important to you? Feeling some energy and vitality or eating a wheat sandwich? A lot of sick people find it very difficult to quit gluten. That is, until they try it. MOST people who try eating a gluten-free diet enjoy the difference so much that they don’t want to switch back. However, some of us don’t realize how important this one change can be for our lives.
The gluten-free diet is not a fad. It literally improved my disabling symptoms by 80% when I finally discovered it. I went from being unable to stand for more than 5 minutes without feeling like I was going to faint, to looking for jobs and dancing around ecstatically because within four days of becoming gluten-free, my health was so incredibly improved.
Doctors incorrectly tell us that we only need to eat gluten-free if our tests come back positive for Celiac Disease. I say, “Tell that to my symptoms.” My Celiac tests were not positive, and yet the difference in my health was dramatic. I had been applying for welfare because my marriage ended from the strain of my illness and I needed to find a way to support my children. Instead, I went out and found work. It was a miracle after years of seeing specialists and getting nowhere. I successfully weaned off all my medications when I went gluten-free.
The reason gluten is so hard on people with illnesses is that gluten from grains produced in North America are genetically-modified and toxic for human health. They are so difficult to digest that they cause leaky gut syndrome and require immense resources to digest. While our bodies are spending critical resources on digesting this toxic substance, our illnesses are worsening. Our bodies need a break from digestion to heal. If you truly want to heal from any condition, you will give up gluten quite happily because you will feel so much better.
Unfortunately with gluten, you cannot just “cut back” to see the difference. You must remove 100% of the gluten in your diet. Your gut will thank you later.
Side effects: If you go gluten-free and then have a cheat day, you may become very ill. It is like a smoker who quits smoking, then some time later they smoke a cigarette and it makes them sick. We become more sensitive to toxins when we do not have a tolerance to them created by exposing ourselves frequently. Personally, I prefer to feel well rather than keeping my high tolerance to toxic foods.
Fasting:
The best way to give our bodies a chance to heal.
TREATS: LITERALLY EVERYTHING CAN BE HELPED OR HEALED BY FASTING. PEOPLE HAVE HEALED CANCER, OBESITY, TUBERCULOSIS, AND MANY MORE CONDITIONS SIMPLY BY FASTING.
There are different kinds of fasts but my favourites are INTERMITTENT FASTING and 24-HOUR FASTING.
INTERMITTENT FASTING: This kind of fasting is to give our bodies long breaks from digestion so that they can focus on other important aspects of keeping us in balance. Pick what works best for you in terms of hours of fasting and your eating window. For instance, I don’t eat my first meal of the day until 12 pm or later and I stop eating at 8 pm every day. That gives me an 8-hour eating window. The key to intermittent fasting is to eat 1-3 meals during your eating window without snacking in between. Binge eating during your eating window will negate the benefits of fasting. Intermittent fasting also requires giving up snacking. Watch your energy improve dramatically!
24-HOUR FAST: This is actually a pretty easy and gentle way to detox our bodies. I used to do this once a week when my illness was at its worst. At the end of day one, eat dinner as usual. Take note of what time you’re done dinner. Do not eat again until the next day at that time. Some people drink water, or broth, or even juice during their fasts. I drink water, coffee, and tea.
The hardest part of fasting is when our tummies start to groan and complain that we’re hungry. How I get through those moments is by imaging that those hunger pains are actually the pathogens in my body dying. And truthfully, they could be. Pathogens are starving when we fast. They send signals to our brains to feed them. Instead of associating that feeling with hunger, I view it as the feeling of bad bacteria dying.
Side Effects: You may experience light-headedness or what many call “low blood sugar” symptoms. These are temporary as your body adjusts to not being constantly fed. We were never meant to eat all day. It is not only a negative trend, it is a health hazard. Our bodies NEED breaks from eating.
Longer fasts may cause more severe side-effects, such as herxheimer reactions (when pathogens die off too quickly for the body to cope with and expel them). Activated charcoal can help with Herx symptoms but I recommend caution when conducting your own prolonged fasts. It is better to be monitored by a natural healer with fasting expertise.
The Feingold Program:
Known as the “ADHD Diet.”
TREATS: ADHD, ADD, ASPERGERS, AUTISM, ALLERGIES.
The Feingold Program was accidentally stumbled upon when an allergy specialist, Dr. Feingold, started recognizing that certain foods seemed to heighten seasonal allergies and other autoimmune conditions, such as eczema. He identified the foods and chemicals that seemed to exacerbate allergies and started prescribing a diet free from these foods.
The miraculous result was that people with developmental and learning disorders, oppositional defiance, ADHD, Autism and other neurological challenges experienced dramatic improvements in their learning and communication abilities while on the diet.
I discovered this diet when my son was 5-years-old and out of control. I couldn’t leave the house without him embarrassing me. He threw 1-2 hour-long temper tantrums several times a day, lashed out violently towards his older sister, and talked about hating his life. I didn’t know what to do. He had a calm, loving home. No one modeled this behaviour. He wasn’t neglected or abused. Nothing I did to correct his behaviour or try to understand him worked.
Finally, one day it was something my mother said that changed how I looked at my son’s troubles. She said, “Children do well if they can.” In other words, if a child isn’t doing well, it’s for reasons out of their control. My son’s external life was peaceful and supportive. I realized something inside him was out of control. I immediately started looking at diets because the gluten-free diet had worked so miraculously for me.
I won’t bore you with all the diets that I tried that didn’t work, but the one that did work was called the Feingold Program. Overnight my son’s depression, anxiety, and violence disappeared. It took time for him to unlearn his bad habits of calling names in anger, but his outbursts were devoid of passion on the program and he stopped having temper tantrums. Over time, the negative behaviours disappeared and he is now a successful 19-year-old man working in San Francisco with people he used to idolize. I literally saved my son when I found this diet. I also saved my family years of torment and chaos.
If you have trouble finding information about this program, let me know and I’ll share what I have. Essentially, it requires giving up artificial colours, flavours, MSG, BHT, BHA, TBHQ, corn syrups, glucose and fructose syrups, aspartame, and certain fruits and veggies that are known to exacerbate symptoms. It sounds difficult to change all your food but it is much easier than dealing with the behaviours that our children exhibit when they can’t control themselves.
Side effects: Peace, cooperation, kindness, and happiness.
Note: When you or your child goes “off diet” and accidentally or intentionally eats something on the “no list,” as we call it in our family, a slip-up can lead to the previous symptoms of anxiety, depression, and inability to focus. In your attempts to stay ON DIET, you may experience pushback from your spouse, ex, parents, friends, teachers, and other people in you or your child’s life. I think it’s worth it, but it’s really up to you. Good luck!
I hope that one or more of these ZERO PRESCRIPTION treatments changes your life for the better like it did for mine!
