What is the Incurables Program? When should someone do this intense cleansing program?

The level and intensity of cleansing will be determined by the work you need to do. It is important when possible to build up to the intense flushing programs. Begin with the basic bowel cleanse for a week followed by two weeks of raw food while doing your first liver and kidney flushes. The next step might be a five day juice fast and liver flush. This powerful week of cleansing can clear many of those “knock’s and pings” accepted as a part of aging.

We all have issues in our bodies that bother us from time to time. That dull ache on the right side just under the rib cage. It comes and goes never too much of a bother. Nightly leg cramps… just stuff we have come to accept as a part of life. Everyone has headaches, right? Take a couple of aspirin to dull the pain. These discomforts all occur because of blockage, a buildup of toxic waste in the body creating blockage. Cleansing the body will clear out the cause for these little discomforts before they become something serious.

Full Strength Program

When you know there is a serious condition in your body it is time to do the full incurables program. The time has come to get those bowels opened, pull out that juicer and begin rebuilding your body with nutrient rich Juices. While building with nutrition it is important to begin cleansing the bowels, liver, and kidneys. Cleanse & Feed, this is how we assist the body in regaining a healthy state.
​
Keeping your liver actively pulling and dumping waste is key to removing any major disease. This is done by flushing the liver repeatedly. The intense program looks like this, castor Oil Packs over the liver every night, liver flushing every other week in addition to doing an ELF three nights a week during both the liver and kidney flushing schedules.

​Most Natural Practitioners warn their patients that it is normal to feel a bit under the weather during the first few days of any good detox program. Detoxing the body does not have to be problematic if handled correctly. A basic understanding of the cleansing process will prevent or quickly end any toxic issues.

What is a Cleansing Crisis?
A cleansing crisis will occur anytime the immune system is unable to properly deal with the toxins ready for elimination. A Cleansing Crisis can leave you feeling like you have been run over by a Mac Truck. The body can feel achy from head to toe, congested, nauseated, very much like the flu.

These symptoms let us know the immune system needs some support. Internally the body has been using the alkaline foods and herbs consumed to clear waste from the tissues and organs. This waste must now be moved up and out, where it will need to be neutralized by the immune cells. Once the immune system has done its job the liver and kidneys can filter the waste for elimination from the body.

Toxins the immune cells are unable to neutralize will not be released into the blood. This waste will be reabsorbed back into the tissue or organ. Our internal body chemistry functions in an alkaline environment. Our blood must maintain a pH of 7.4. If it drops below that to 7.2 we die.

The cells of the body in health are alkaline. In disease the cell pH is below 7.0. The more acid the cells become, the sicker we are and feel. Reabsorbing of the toxic “die-off” created during the cleansing process causes the body to feel toxic.
​
Prevention is the answer: Before beginning any cleansing program make it a habit to boost your immune system. Echinacea is the most effective immune stimulator in nature. Echinacea works by sending a chemical command to the immune system to produce more immune cells. With ample immune cells to deal with the detoxing waste the body will not feel any effects from the cleansing process.

Kidney issues seem to have always been a part of my life. As a child my parents neglect to properly care for my infected Kidneys resulted in serious damage to my entire renal system. A painful infection was allowed to go unchecked until my high fever forced a family friend to take me to the emergency room.

Until being introduced to herbs and natural healing in the early 1990′s doctor proscribed antibiotics was a regular part of my life. Since discovering the healing power of herbs I have taken no proscribed drugs for infection. Combining the infection fighting herbs into Herbal Extracts for my infections has proven effective every time they have been used.

Another Natural Healing Tool

The “Herbal Fomentation” introduces healing herbs directly into the affected area by applying hot towels soaked in a concentration herbal tea. These hot towels are then applied over the damaged or sick area, covered with plastic and heavy blankets to keep the heat in. The packs must be changed as they cool. Fomentations are an excellent way of introducing the healing herbs but way to messy and time consuming. Few people will set up and use these vital applications.

Hassle FREE Fomentation

We have learned to make use of another powerful natural healing tool, the Salve.

Salves are a way of introducing herbs right into the affected area of the body. Depending on the issue and salve being used they can be massaged into the area or applied as a flannel pack over the affected area. When packing the salve cover with plastic wrap, a towel and a moist heating pad for dramatic results on many conditions.

This week we are developing a new salve for use with chronic or inflamed kidney conditions. This Salve can be applied to flannel and placed directly over the kidneys. The herbs in this formula promote urine production and support the health of the kidney.

Kidney Salve Combination: Parsley Root, Juniper Berries, Marshmallow Root, Ginger Root and Burdock Root.

Dr. John R. Christopher provides an excellent understanding of what the Kidney’s really do:

“The duties of the kidneys are best described by calling them the filters of the blood.

“Your blood flows constantly through your kidneys to be purified or filtered. You might be surprised to learn that more than 500 grains of waste matter, acids and poisons have to be moved from the blood through the kidneys every 24 hours.  You can easily see, therefore, that on this filtering and eliminating depends your health to a very great extent. Let the kidneys fail to function properly and nature will call your attention to it right away.

“You will feel depressed and tired, restless at night, and pains in the back will show up. There might be scanty urine or a desire to urinate frequently. Your head will ache and many other aches and pains will be making their appearance.

“You really cannot be surprised that you do not feel well.

“Just figure your kidneys would do only half the work and eliminate only 250 grains of waste, what will become of the other 250 grains? They will be carried back into your blood and poison your system.

“Watch, therefore, your kidneys and deal with even minor irregularity promptly.

“To avoid trouble be careful with your diet.

“Americans consume daily 80 grs. of meat or nearly 3 ounces more of protein-thus attempting to dispose of about 35 grams more than we have capacity for. This overload gradually smashes the kidneys and throws them out of commission.
​
“Our kidneys cannot talk; they just have to stay mum until a hundred and one bodily disorders start us looking around for some mysterious cause of serious trouble. Then, as a rule, it is too late to apologize to the kidneys.”

Initiating our novice friends into the rewards of cleansing and healing naturally can be a bit intimidating.  We all faithfully spread the word just by showing up and being who we are.  Nothing is more validating than someone asking intelligent questions and waiting to hear the answers. 

Now is not the time to unload too much information onto your trusting friend.  Resist the temptation to plunge your friend or loved one into a heavy detoxing program.  

Stop thinking what you will say to them and just listen for a bit.  Why now?  What is happening in their life to cause them to want more information?  How can their issue be herbally supported?

Here are a few basic guides for beginners. 

• Bowel Cleansing: The Bowels must be open and working well.  There is no way one can start a detoxing program in a constipated body. 
• Boosting the Immune System: Use an ounce a day of Echinacea extract, four days each week, during any detox or cleansing program.
• Nutrition: Stop putting junk into your body and begin to feed your cells.  This is done with fresh juices and Superfood. 

Beginning to use herbal tonics for specific issues such as Female complaints, Diabetes or Heart issues can be added right from the start with excellent results. 

Following these suggestions will keep the detoxing backlash to a minimum while building a good foundation for the more intense detoxing programs to follow.  

Healthy body systems and Normal Blood Pressure is achieved by maintaining a healthy emotional life along with a balanced lifestyle of healthy food and daily work, rest, exercise, and play. 

Foundation for Emotional Health
We cannot control the emotional ups and downs life throws at us but we can control our reaction to them.  Building up a healthy spiritual foundation based on a belief that you are known completely and loved without reserve by the most powerful being in the universe is a perfect place to start. 

Many people do not worship a God of Love, their God is wrathful, waiting for any reason or weakness on their part to punish or destroy.  This perception of God is not only unhealthy but can actually affect the way you value and deal with yourself and others.  We humans are blessed with an innate law of worship.  We assimilate to, or become like that which we worship, and we all worship something.  The health of the body, mind and soul depend to a large degree on what we are modeling ourselves after.  If you would like a better science based understanding of the spiritual mind & body connection the “God and the Brain” seminar by Dr. Tim Jennings is an excellent resource.
​
Foundation for Physical Health
Our bodies need a daily supply of nutrition or they will shut down and stop working.  The best nourishment would be to follow the original food plan provided for our first parents; vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains and seeds.
 
The Question is asked: Don't I Need Animal Products to Be Healthy?
 
Properly planned vegan diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases….are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.— American Dietetic Association Volume 109, Issue 7, Pages 1266-1282 (July 2009)
 
Not only are animal products unnecessary for optimal health, an increasing number of nutritionists and health professionals are acknowledging animal products are harmful to our health. Meanwhile, a healthy vegan diet helps reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes. 
 
The China Study: by T. Colin Campbell is arguably the most comprehensive study on nutrition ever done. Campbell provides compelling evidence linking animal products to disease, including cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, etc. 

As humans most of us have little understanding beyond what we have experienced and feel is normal.   I believed it was normal and healthy to have only one bowel movement each morning.  This is how it had always been for me.  The healing journey I had begun that year was going to teach me many things I did not even know to question.  The Father and I were to take this journey together joined from time to time by other also on this path.  Looking back at the beginning of what is not yet finished, I have been privileged to know so many who have shared freely with me from their own experience. 

My First Bowel Cleansing
My introduction to Bowel Cleansing and the LBF #1’s was pretty normal.  My bottle of Capsules arrived with detailed instructions from my friend who had introduced me to all things natural healing.  As I unloaded the box I put all the items away one at a time.  She had sent Superfood, the #2 formula, Echinacea extract and the LBF #1’s.  I quickly started the Superfood and Echinacea but never touched the Bowel Cleansing products.  Two weeks later when it was time to begin the liver cleanse I still had not taken my first #1 capsule.  Why?  I figured my bowels were doing just fine and the bowel cleanse was optional.  Wrong! 

I’d been walking around for years with a roll of poop setting right under my bust line.  I looked five months pregnant.  Of course I didn’t know that roll around my middle was a stuffed bowel. 

Two weeks after receiving my package I was scheduled to fly to my friend’s clinic for a month’s stay.  When I arrived she wisely started me on the bowel cleanse routine.   Fourteen days into the program and my bowels were still not working well.  The thirteen capsules I swallowed each night had started something moving but it was not enough to clear thirty eight years of constipation.  My friend arrived in my room that evening with a castor oil pack.  She placed it over my colon, covered it with a towel and said good night. 

The next morning I could not believe how much poop was still in me after fourteen days of juice fasting and an enema in the morning and evening.   Under my breast I had been carrying a roll for years, now half the roll was gone.  That’s right; half my stomach was flat the other half looked five months pregnant.  Another castor oil pack was placed over my colon again that night with similar results the next morning.  My stomach was now flat.  The roll I had assumed was fat all those years was my colon filled with poop.
​
Staying open and willing to be taught can be the hardest part of healing.  All the answers do not lie within us, we must be willing to continue to learn and grow.  As long as there is life there is learning to be done.

Red Raspberry is a great agent for cleansing a canker condition of the mucous membranes in the alimentary tract, leaving the tissue toned.

In pregnancy the infusion, when taken regularly, will quiet premature pains, and will produce a safe, speedy and easy delivery. Raspberry leaves stimulate, tone and regulate (both the leaves and fruit are high in citrate of iron which is the active alterative, blood-making, astringent and contractive agent for the reproductive area) before and during childbearing, assisting contractions and checking hemorrhage during labor, relieving after-pains, then strengthening, cleansing, and enriching the milk of the mother in the post-delivery period.

Dr. Christopher recommended taking at least a daily cup of Red Raspberry tea throughout pregnancy.
He said that in addition to Red Raspberry’s good effects on the uterus it is also anti-nausea.
​
A woman who was expecting her ninth child often experienced nausea during pregnancy. When she suspected that she might be pregnant again she began taking the tea even before she began to feel morning sickness. She never experienced any discomfort so she wondered if it might just be an unusual or unhealthy pregnancy, so she discontinued the tea. Not long after she began to feel nausea! She quickly began to take the tea again and felt no discomfort since then.

Alfalfa: Many people consider Alfalfa an important herb to take throughout pregnancy.

If an expectant mother is suffering from morning sickness, she can eat Alfalfa sprouts in her diet, until the condition is under control.

Many people consider that a daily green drink consisting of Alfalfa, comfrey and fresh red-raspberry leaves is an excellent pregnancy drink; it is preferred to a tea made of the same substances.

After the birth, Alfalfa is sometimes taken to prevent hemorrhages. Some women have eaten Alfalfa after their births like candy in order to shorten the postpartum bleeding time.

Alfalfa is also thought to dramatically help bring the milk in for the nursing mother. It certainly enriches the quality of the milk and is much preferable to other hot beverages, such as regular tea, which can pollute the breast milk.
​
Alfalfa tea can be flavored with mint, orange peel, and honey.

​Kelp and Toxemia: Kelp, as might be expected, is also of use in the female organs. It will tone up a weak uterus and help produce a healthier baby, as the balanced minerals will be supplied fully with the use of Kelp. Some women who had lost babies in childbirth and others who had not been able to carry babies were helped by the use of Kelp by Dr. Powell's prescription of Kelp to carry healthy baby’s full term. Especially when toxemia threatens during the last stages of the pregnancy, Kelp, being a carrier of important minerals and a toner and an antiseptic, can help clear up an otherwise dangerous condition.

A research project done in the 1950’s by the American Cancer Society shows how it is cancer and tumors are able to develop in a body. Over a period of several years a large group of rabbits were swabbed daily on the ears with nicotine.   Every few months they checked several of the rabbits to see what was happening inside.  Here is what they found.

No tumors or cancer appeared until the eliminative organs were degraded to the point they were unable to properly remove waste from the system.  The real key here is the fact that before any form of cancer or tumors appeared in any rabbit it was observed that the internal elimination organs were greatly compromised. 

Try to get your mind around this proven fact: Developing tumors or cancer is only a symptom pointing to the need to rebuild the eliminative organs in the body.  The liver, kidneys, digestive system ect… are all in need of serious rebuilding. The cancer or tumor is not the issue, only a symptom of a degraded internal system.
​
Cutting out the cancer or tumor will not clear the issue from the body.  Not until the internal elimination organs have been rebuilt and are able once again to properly remove waste can a body be truly free from cancer.   One of the Late Dr. Christopher’s favorite sayings was, “cleanse & feed”. You must cleanse out the waste while feeding and rebuilding the system. This is where the entire Incurables Program proves valuable.

Trying to pass on the understanding of how to heal the body can be a daunting task.  When someone is dealing with a terminal condition the window of opportunity for healing can close very quickly in some cases.  While others with conditions may linger for years without showing much impact on their overall health. 

What make the difference?
One factor is, of course, the condition impacting the body.  Among the most serious and fast moving are Pancreatic Cancer and Lung Cancer.  The window of opportunity for clearing these conditions is often very narrow to nonexistent.  Even with the most aggressive natural healing programs often the diagnosis comes too late. By the time the condition has been discovered the disease has progressed beyond the body’s ability to deal. 

Another factor would be the individual’s constitution; the vitality within the person.  Someone with a strong body, mind and spirit will likely have a much easier time clearing the disease from his system. 

The Natural Healing Programs will vary little regardless the condition.   An example would be a case of hives or cancers; both are cleared through the same channels.  In most cases Hives are cleared quickly while cancer will take many months. 

What is it the body does?  One of the best explanations available is posted as a pdf file on the front of our website.  It is called “Health through Nutrition” by Dr. Joel Robbins

DISEASE AND ITS CAUSE
Disease or "dis-ease" is defined as a lack of health. Disease results when any cell is not functioning 100% of its designed duty whether due to trauma, toxicity, lack of communication or a combination thereof.  Disease is due to stress.

Whether due to ignorance or laziness, exposing the body to stress will produce a diseased state of the body. Stress is the only means of tearing down health resulting in disease, our bodies paying the price for violating the laws of nature (our wrong doings). We do not "catch" a disease or illness, we earn it.  We must "work" for disease.

Disease is nothing more than the body responding to the wrong we have done to it. It is the body’s attempt at keeping us alive in response to the wrongs we have inflicted on our bodies.

Pathological changes are the cell's response to stress. These changes or compensations allow the body to survive -maintain homeostasis- as long as the stress continues. These tissue changes which result in disease are the outward manifestation of internal compensation to stress. Until the cause is removed, the condition will remain in one form or another.

Treating Warts with Apple Cider Vinegar

I had a really stubborn wart that wouldn't go away even when my doctor tried to freeze it off a couple of times so I went to earthclinic.com and found a treatment that worked really well using ACV, so I decided to give it a try.

If possible, based on the location of the wart, get a small piece of cotton and soak it in some Bragg's or Spectrum ACV and place the soaked cotton ball over the wart with a band aid or some medical tape on top of it to keep it in place. You want to do this a total of 3 times throughout the day with a fresh cotton ball and ACV applied over the wart.  

If the wart is located in a place where a band aid or medical tape won’t keep it in place, which I have had happen before, then what you can do is carry around some apple cider vinegar in a small bottle with a dropper (like the one’s tinctures come in). Whenever you think about it or have a chance just pull out the bottle and place a drop of the ACV directly on the wart.
​
I have used this treatment 3 times both with and without the tape and it usually takes about 4-7 days and the wart will eventually turn black, shortly before falling off. It takes a little bit of persistence but any time I have used this method the wart has never returned.
