Dena determined that antibiotics should not be used. Next year, my daughter is going to college and, if treated with antibiotics, the bacterial infection would for sure come back next year. It might even continue to come back — issues like strep throat stem from eating too much sugar and not getting enough sleep. Sounds like college all over again!

The first protocol that Dena had her on was this: Oregano Oil, Emergen-C, Cherry Bark Syrup and Sambucus (Elderberry). She added a natural antibiotic with another vitamin that brings the fire out of the throat and moves it toward the belly for healing. Lots of warm liquids and lots of rest was all. Garlic was another ingredient that is anti-fungal and anti-infectious that when put directly on the throat begins to heal.

It took 24 hours for the fever to break. By Thursday, the fever was gone and her throat was better. Dena massaged her body, working on all the weakened kidney areas. By Saturday, she was a bit tired but had no pain and no fever. We kept her on the 4 doses a day for a week and a half. By the second week, we had stopped everything except Emergen-C and Oregano Oil, administered once a day along with a maintenance vitamin to boost her immune system.

Dr Nortin, M. Hadler, M.D., says that doctors who are leery of malpractice suits use what is called “defensive medicine” just in case to cover their bases. Also Tests are a lucrative practice. Lets not forget that spoiled demanding patients are to blame as well. Don’t we all want action and results immediately? Patients today have no patience; as we demand prescriptions, testing, blood work, referrals or a combo platter. We most certainly do not want a wait and see approach and certainly not a natural approach that might take weeks or even months longer to correct the issue that took years to develop.

Many Doctors are Pushing back and suggesting fewer scans, antibiotics, treatments and procedures that may not help in the long run. Back surgeries are a perfect example. How many people do you know who have been shot up with steroid injections or endured painful and expensive back surgeries only to find little or no relief?

The natural approach to bone, joint and back pain, which is all about inflammation would be changing to an anti-inflammatory way of life as well as building up the core strength and the use of a natural anti-inflammatory supplement regime such as EPA DHA and Ultra Inflamex

Dental X Rays are just as bad, do we really need X ray’s once a year? Although the amount of radiation is low the rule of thumb is that children should get x-rays once or twice a year, I opted for the two to three time a year plan. I mean honestly what is going to happen. My 15 year old has only had x-rays three or four times in his lifetime and guess what? His teeth are just fine. Don’t forget to ask for the throat/thyroid guard for you and your children.

Doctors latest rule of thumb on mammography is starting at age 50 then every other year after that. I prefer thermography, no radiation at all. In the book A Survivors Guide to Kicking Cancers Ass, I devote an entire chapter to scans and how they have been over-prescribed. I am happy to see that doctors across the board are starting to agree with this line of reasoning.

Even yearly pap smears are a thing of the past. The newest thinking is that cervical cancer takes ten to 20 years to develop so pap every three years works just as well.

My all time favorite, which I touched on in my last newsletter, is the desperate need we still have to reach for the antibiotic as soon as we cant rid ourselves of a common cold, flu, and sinus infection in a matter of two to three days. It’s ok to be sick! As a matter of fact it is quite good for us, helps to build our depleted immune systems. About 1 in 5 antibiotic scripts is actually given to treat sinusitis, doctors are pretty much throwing in the towel in on this one and all agreeing that antibiotics DO NOT HELP!!! Medical professionals say this, “ they only seem like they help because people start to clear up on their own accord during the time they are taking the prescribed antibiotic.” Much better for this is the concoction I created, the recipe is on youtube.

CT Scans and MRI’s are a medical miracle and can absolutely save lives in emergency situations, for example in the case of appendicitis or a broken bone. Over the past 15 years the use of these scans have tripled which means we have been exposed to twice as much radiation as we were in the 90’s. A CT scan can blast radiation equivalent to up to 70 standard x-rays at once.

Scans should be used for more urgent situations says the Choose Wisely Panel. To explore milder conditions such as sinus, fainting spells, headaches or any non-specific abdominal pain, start with ultra sounds, which use no radiation. If your Child is being examined demand a child sized dose of radiation, do not let them tell you this does not exists, it absolutely does and I demand that for myself, as I am a small adult.

This is exactly what the Choose Wisely Panel says: USE YOUR VOICE and ASK FOR YOUR NEEDS TOP BE MET!

The overall consensus by natural doctors and regulars is truly less is more!

The medical team replied, “no nothing”, they insisted that this little boy would now be imprisoned by 6 to possibly 10 shots per day to make his pancreas work as it should. The father of the boy asked if it would help to change his little boys diet. They said absolutely not, they offered no solutions and no help in terms of anything that might rebuild the immunity of the little boys pancreas.

The father emailed me. I went to whole foods with the family and between us we created a new healthier way of life for this young boy that would not only support his depleted pancreas/kidneys but would also reverse this dreaded childhood disease. This is exactly what happened. Within a week this young boy who was condemned to a life of needles, struggle and failing health was on his way to rebuilding his pancreas so it would work on its own making the insulin it needed.

This is truly how our magnificent bodies work when given the chance; it’s the same with so many other organs. When given the chance our thyroids can most often be brought back to life by way of natural products and seaweed/iodine, less sugar and caffeine and more greens! I have seen this in so many instances its amazing and sad at the same time that so many of us are misled down the primrose path of pharmaceuticals. Since Marcus Welby MD we believe that the doctor knows best. This is not always the case.

In this little boys case we eliminated all inflammatory foods out of his diet, all sugar, wheat and gluten and dairy. We chose healthy alternative packaged foods, lets face it, not many humans especially children will go 100% with out a packed food. We added much more living live fresh foods and watched him flourish.

I asked the parents to act as detectives as they weaned their son off of the chemical laden junk and introduced new healthier fare. When their son’s blood sugar would spike they would be observant in terms of what made it spike, like potato starch found in veggie chips, which was to high in sugars. When his numbers where too high the parents would immediately have him drink water exercise and urinate thereby excreting the sugars that made him spike. Within 30 minutes they would witness that this little boys brilliant body would work efficiently on its own as it would come down to normal range without the shot of insulin.

Remeber the Newsletter from last week? We must be patient as we allow our bodies to heal, disease didnt take one day to create. Disease takes months and even years to settle into the body. Healing takes place from top to botom, inside to the outside, from the greater organs to the lesser organs and in the reverse order in which the disease was created. so allow the body to take the time it needs to heal!

A Story of the Immune system: when the eye doctor told me that both of my kids needed glasses. I never put them in glasses. Guess what? The immunity of their eyes, yes the eyes have their own immune system, got stronger and stronger thereby creating two children who are now teens without the need for glasses.

This same science applies in so many instances. I encourage people to not only change their lives by changing their food first but to gain a new sense of themselves as they maneuver through their own health awakening journeys.

There are many ways you can deal with these, sometimes overwhelming feelings. First of all go walk outside and use your full breath as you inhale into your entire lung space. The lung space actually extends all the way down to your hip bones and all the way up to the tops of your shoulders.

Many of us are shallow chest breathers. This is not a good way to eliminate physical or emotional toxic build up. You may practice with a pillow or your hands lying on top of you belly, breath in a normal slow breath in as your belly rises up and then deflates, like a balloon. Do not try to breath; do not strain to breath or breath too fast or slow. Simply take regular deep breaths in and out as the belly rises and falls like the waves wash up on shore then retreat naturally.

At first you may only be able to take in a four count and release the same four count as you practice in bed at night you will train your lungs to expand naturally breathing in all the way to 8 then 10,16, 28. You would be surprised at how much oxygen our bodies can truly take in. a turtle take about four breaths per minute and lives 100 years while a dog pants like, well, a dog and they typically live 10-12 years. Id rather be the turtle.

Besides the healing benefits of the breath, beating on your lungs like King Kong opens the lungs to release old stuck toxic energy. Another benefit is the food we eat for fall set up our health for the long winter months. We start consuming the roots, which gives us strength to sustain. We enjoy warming herbs such as cumin, coriander turmeric and ginger to build our inner fire. Don’t forget to double up on your oils for the winter months.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FALL EQUINOX AND ITS CORELATION GODDESS ENERGIES

Mabon the autumn equinox is a magical time of balance and plenty. It’s a time to celebrate the earth’s bounty and to be thankful for the harvest that will sustain us through the coming winter. Autumn Equinox will help you deepen your understanding of Mabon and discover new ideas for honoring this ancient fall holiday. This is the most colorful and bewitching season of the year.

This season welcomes the Dark Mother, and celebrates that aspect of the Goddess which we may not always find comforting or appealing, but which we must always be willing to acknowledge. The suggestion is to decorate your altar with symbols of Demeter and her daughter with flowers in red and yellow for Demeter, purple or black for Persephone, stalks of wheat, Indian corn, sickles, baskets. Have a candle on hand to represent each of them using harvest colors. You may celebrate with a chalice of wine, or grape and pomegranate juice, organic of course

In reading  the book Cellular Awakening, How Your Body Holds and Creates Light, I have learned just how important “light” can be as it relates to our immune system as well as a strong endocrine (lymphatic) system.

The light that the book is referring to can not only be “brought in” by utilizing visualization techniques but also by eating a clean healthy pure foods rich in life force energy. These foods should consist of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and good quality fats such as coconut oil, avocado and nut butters and pure clean liquids.  The book also discusses our ability to share our light with others, just as the light is entering into our bodies we are also a source for the light to come through.

Today it can actually be shown scientifically that each cell in out entire body has the distinct ability to create light. Light enters through us from the universe in through our chakras, yes this has been proven scientifically!

The light then travels around our bodies through all the acupuncture meridians which are connection every  organ in our body which happen to be linked to distinct emotions, ex: Lungs relate to grief, liver to anger and frustration, kidneys to fear and anxiety. Read my book for more info on this fascinating subject.

The light turns into energy or chi (qui) and actually has the unique ability to heal us. The book speaks of our “light bodies” which is the “body” that exists within our physical body.

Now here is the golden nugget so READ THIS part….

If we become dehydrated, our cells shut down making it difficult for the light to enter into our cells which we need in order to stay healthy, happy and to absorb essential nutrients. Most of us do not realize when we are truly dehydrated. Part of the problem is when we don’t have a keen sense of our bodies we cant possibly listen to our bodies distinct language.

An imperative measure to make sure we are well hydrated is oils, the most valuable light enhancing oil is that of fatty acids omega 3! The beautiful thing about this essential oil is that scientifically it has the ability and potential to create electrons, which then accept the photons of light “which hold the message of the universe.”

The Cellular Awakening was a fascinating read. I loved how Barbara Wren looks at our bodies as you would a test tube, like a scientist you must check all the variables, such as dehydration, oil absorption, nutrient absorption and light absorption. Like a giant puzzle, These components all work together and have a distinct effect on our physical and emotional well being.

How do we know that all of these essential components are in perfect balance?  Simple, ask yourself, how do I feel? Are you tired, depressed, overweight, anxiety stricken, sluggish, sick all the time? This is not how your vehicle (bodies) should be performing. Check in with yourself, you might need to change the fuel, the oil, possibly the breaks or maybe even maybe an overhaul. What ever it takes to get back to physical and emotional health and well-being.

Dr.Denas’commentary…

This article is not only disturbing; it is sadly true in most cases. I have experienced the bullying from some doctors first hand.  Not only did my original surgeon botch what should have been a routine lumpectomy, he neglected to perform a frozen section to make sure he in fact completely removed the pea-sized tumor from my breast.

He was so belligerent when he finally called me five weeks later to let me know in a cold and callous way “I didn’t get it all”.  To add insult to injury the medical establishment then proceeded to administer the wrong chemotherapy for the type of tumor they found. Instead of giving me a choice they didn’t tell me the truth, it was the only chemotherapy they had at that time. Like lemmings, they repeated over and over, “its standard of care”.

Between this surgeon’s incompetence and the inadequate medical advice I received, I have now fought for over a decade to save my own life.  Never once have I received an apology or a discount of any kind from any of these doctors. Not when they nicked my lung in surgery, not when they didn’t listen to my intuitive prowess and yanked the breathing tube out to soon almost killing me and not for the botched lumpectomy for a pea sized pre cancerous tumor that has subsequently spread to the bone, lung, brain, and neck,  all at the hands of one egomaniacal surgeon who was always right.

The Doctors name is Dr. Witt from Rush Hospital, I am writing his name here in honor of my patient/friend who recently lost her battle and the 4 other patients I have seen whom Dr. Witt has made the same life-threatening mistake with.

I am certainly not saying that all doctors are the same. What I am saying is buyer beware. I teach my patients how to grow some balls and speak their truth to the “gods” that we have created out of the men in the white coats.

Doctors, like all humans, know what they know and don’t know what they don’t know… they are fallible.

We must be proactive participants in our health care process. I give more tips in detail about how to take the bull (doctor) by the horns, so to speak, as well as how to navigate through the perils of our sometimes-dangerous health care facilities, in my book A Survivors Guide to Kicking Cancer’s Ass.

I had the honor of spending the morning with Lee Patterson, a naturalist through and through.

Lee came to my infinity foundation class on gaining a new sense of yourself, as I was diagnosing some participants from the audience; I called Lee up to show what Perfect health really looks like.

I knew it the moment I saw him, he was balanced in all ways; body, mind and spirit. When I asked what he attributes his optimal health to at age 73 he replied, “my ongoing quest to understand and live harmoniously with nature.”

Lee works with his hands, as a mechanic, since he was at least 5 years old. At about 14 he started to use a pendulum. As he grew, he became an intuitive for not only people, but land as well. Lee came today to my home to work with the energy fields.

Lee claims his vitality is directly linked to his diet, which is rich in fermented foods, greens and pink Himalayan sea salt (which offers a trace of all the minerals that our body needs). People with heart disease don’t have to worry about the pink Himalayan salt as it has lower concentration of sodium chloride, even lower than most sea salts on the market. Lee suggests adding it to bath & drinking water, which offers the essential electrolytes and minerals we are all so depleted in.

To watch Lee work with land and home energies was like watching a modern day Einstein. Lee compares our bodies to a battery, we receive on the left side of our body and give out on the right side, so it is important to look at all the variables such as what direction you are sleeping in your bed and if your home and bodies polarity is on or off.

This can all sound like a foreign language if you are not used to hearing about energy fields, polarities and fermentation. I had the distinct privilege of having Master Lee show me how some of these concepts work. It is not only fascinating, it is the answer to many of our the physical, emotional and mental issues we are all facing today…including depression.

Lee’s final answer in our quest for optimal health is, “We are all just a small part of nature’s greater plan, we must find the balance between us and nature or we will end up with disease, pain and suffering.”

Health & Light,

Dr. Dena.

Wow! So exciting to see that the once dreaded word “cancer” no longer has to be associated as being a death sentence.

As often as I have been diagnosed, I am calmer now than ever before as I know how to not only live and thrive with cancer, I can conquer most of the dreaded side effects.

I attribute my survival for the past 11 years to a healthy terrain; I maintain a healthy balance between acidity and alkalinity. The alkalinity part is typically the hard part for most people. To accomplish a more alkaline environment in the body you should add greens to everything! Try arugula and watercress, my recent favorites.

Also I found drinking “Red desert clay” or some form of healing clay helps to not only alkalinize but is a powerful heavy metal detoxifier, promotes healthy stomach acid strengthens bones and immune function as well as alkalinize the bodies terrain to the max!

The final component I have been adding to my health regime as of late is fermented foods. These are a great way to build up your healthy intestinal flora, which is the absolute key to higher health. Most of us are so depleted in healthy bacteria that we are expressing with all manner of immune deficiencies.

No accidents, a brilliant expert in micro biology popped on the radio the other day as I was flipping through stations, he was saying how our children are actually missing a very important microbial bacteria from their systems due in part  to our paranoia with germs and obsession with anti bacterial soaps detergents etc. according to Blaser, some healthy dirt is actually good for us. Blaser also insists we must stop suppressing disease in our children and instead build the healthy flora in the intestine and let nature do its thing!  And no, yogurt does not offer a significant amount of healthy lactobacilli/flora  to even make a dent in our over compromised and depleted intestines/gut!
