I PROMISE, you have NEVER heard this explained or connected to you this way and it will be an epiphany unlike anything you’ve ever learned before. What I am about to tell you is the greatest discovery of my lifetime.

In the end, you will see what I mean by that.

Innate Intelligence: God’s Design

Background: I am a holistic doctor with 12 years of clinical and personal experience in health, wellness, and the experience with many conditions, including those conditions that have failed to resolve from, or continue to require, repeated standard treatments.

Welcome!!!

Before we begin, I would like to share with you my perspective on healing and health. Please stop and think about what it is (you) are. Think about it. Your “consciousness”, your “soul”, has taken permanent residence, with completely independent and operational control, inside an innately (insanely) intelligent, intricately Designed, self-healing electrical machine - except instead of being made of metal, you are made of minerals, aka dust. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” The breath of life being “electricity”. Our souls inhabit this electrical “avatar” made of the earth’s minerals, its elements.

This avatar didn’t always exist—it had to be Created. When the genetic material of your mother met the genetic material of your father at conception, through the Power of the Design of the greatest miracle on earth - Procreation, their DNA joined together to create a brand-new cell with a distinctly similar yet unique set of DNA. This reaction brought a new soul into this physical realm that we exist in. On this DNA are the written instructions to build, operate, adapt, and regenerate you. These DNA instructions if completely uncoiled and stretched out, would be over 2 meters in length—and it all fits inside the nucleus of each cell. For reference, the average size of the nucleus, the most inner portion, of any cell is about 6 micrometers, or 0.000006 meters in size. On this one strand of DNA there are 3 billion “base pairs”, combinations of nucleotides—molecules called adenosine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine—that connect like perfect lock and key, ultramicroscopic electromagnetic puzzle pieces (or did you forget that the periodic table is organized based upon the “charge” each element has; the difference between protons and electrons; positive and negative electromagnetic entities).

If you were to count every elemental atom in one strand of DNA, one every second consecutively until the end, it would take you 190.8 years to complete.

IT’S DETAILED.

Each nucleotide is a certain electromagnetic puzzle piece built with carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms and it takes approximately 114 billion atoms to create ONE complete strand of DNA.

Each and every cell in your body contains one complete strand of DNA.

And out of that DNA your Central Nervous System , your Master System, is also created. It controls all using nerves no different than electrical cables and sensors—Simply Incredible.

In 9 months from conception, that one cell and your DNA began to replicate and divide many, many times over, leading to the creation and construction of all the different types of cells necessary to form all the different tissues, to form all the different organs, to form all the different organ systems, to complete the manifestation of your physical body—about 2,000,000,000,000 cells (trillion) at birth—all working in symbiotic harmony together at the atomic level.

Over time we’ve become desensitized to this process of conception and birth because it’s now so predictable, automatic, and common, but to put it succinctly, the sheer number of precision details written in DNA to create a human body is so vast that it can be considered a mathematical and statistical impossibility; nothing short of a miracle—every single time it occurs.

While centuries of studying and researching the human body have not even come close to providing us a full understanding of the human body, we have learned enough to get a very thorough 40,000 ft view of how the body generally works and operates.

We DO know your body is a self-aware, self-regulating, self-adapting, and self-healing organism—perfect in its Design. Every person on this earth is living proof of this- how are you here? How are you STILL here?

And the instructions to run this seemingly miraculous creation are written in complete detail on each strand of DNA. Your DNA is VERY important which is why it’s protected inside the nucleus of each cell by the walls of the nuclear membrane to protect it from damage and change.

There are instructions for how to design, operate, adapt, and heal every cell, molecule, fiber, tissue, and organ in your body. Then there are instructions on how to connect and work together to form “systems”. Each cell, molecule, fiber, tissue, organ, and organ system that exists in our body contributes its functions and operations to the whole allowing you to survive, thrive, heal, and adapt in response to its environment here on Earth—each system very specific, necessary, interdependent, and vital to the whole.

While you’re alive you can think of the human body as having 2 states of existence.

1. Catabolism: the state in which you are using energy to break down molecules and tissue during use; degeneration.

2. Anabolism: the process in which you are using energy to build and rebuild molecules and tissues for future use; regeneration.

Generate = to build/make/create

Regenerate = to Rebuild/remake/recreate

Degenerate = to fall apart

Degeneration = the state (verb/vector; not a disease) of which you are simply not rebuilding as fast as your state of falling apart.

When you are awake and “doing something” with your human body, you are going through a state of catabolism. When you are asleep or resting, you are going through a state of anabolism. It’s because you sleep and can enter anabolism and regenerate that you are still alive today. How many days do you think you could survive without sleep or rest? Without the state of anabolism, the laws of entropy would invariably ensure your ultimate destruction. You can think of the anabolic state as necessary for your survival, health, and proper function.

To help simplify, think of this as a construction site where things are always being built, repaired, remodeled and updated—catabolism and anabolism.

Every construction site has a “boss”; a foreman. Their job is to delegate the instructions, make plans, coordinate the workers, order in supplies and tools, and control the entire operation from cleaning the site to the exact order and timing of production/function. They will even alter/change the working conditions so that each group of workers can operate as efficiently as possible.

This is your Nervous System and Neuroendocrine System: the brain, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord along with the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland which are part of the brain.

The instructions and blueprints the foreman uses to coordinate building and operating are written on your DNA.

Then you have the construction workers. They received direction from the foreman and also communicate back their progress and updates. These are every cell, tissue, and organ, each with their own specialties and abilities, directed to be used by the foreman.

Workers can’t build with nothing, they need parts, tools, and materials/supplies to build and maintain you. The supplies are your foods that you eat: macronutrients (carbohydrates/sugars, proteins, and fats) and they serve as the building blocks and energy necessary for building, and the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are the “parts and tools” for specific types of building.

In order to ensure the integrity of your site you also need to maintain and protect it by having a fence, or a wall; a secure perimeter – this is your symbiotic gut and skin flora, the skin, and the GI tract.

Since what you are building is important this construction site is going to have a management team, cleaning team, and an entire security team. This is your immune system controlling the fluidity of operations, the hiring and firing of workers, cleaning up the grunge and mess from work and the environment, inspecting and reporting on damage or anything not built/operating perfectly, and kicking out or destroying any vandalizers or anything that doesn’t belong like pathogenic infections. This group of workers also keeps a record, has a memory, and is constantly and diligently working to find faster and more effective and efficient ways to operate.

This construction site is an intricately and finely tuned electromagnetic supermachine.

So long as all the roles and jobs at the construction site are fulfilled the body can and will self-operate, self-regulate, and self-heal, AUTOMATICALLY. Proven in everyday life, just like if you get a cut on your arm, eventually the wound heals and disappears with new tissue present, all you have to do is keep it clean. So why doesn’t that happen for every cell and tissue in the body? Truth is, this process does happen for every cell, tissue, fiber, and organ on an automatic cycle. (If given the opportunity).

When any part of the body is completely healed, capable of fully functioning, and/or in an active state of rest it is said to be in a state of “homeostasis”. The word homeostasis derives from Greek, with home meaning “similar,” and stasis, meaning “stable.” Another way to describe this is being in a state of “ease”. If any part of the body is demanded to work for the benefit of the body, it comes out of homeostasis to do so. And any INABILITY to go back into complete state of homeostasis after working would then be considered in a state of “dis-ease”, or disease.

Over the years our healthcare has gotten better at detecting and giving fancy names to signs of these dis-ease(s). You might have pain, swelling, or high or low heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, temperature, liver enzymes, pancreatic enzymes, cholesterol, immune cell count, red blood cells, oxygen percentage, blood nutrients, cellular counts and markers- easily detectable, objective, and quantifiably measurable.

Maybe you have been told you have “pancreatitis” which is just “pancreas inflammation” or “tachycardia” which just means “increased heart rate”. All this is a translation from English to Latin prefixes and suffixes. Check this link here for examples. Sometimes when researchers discover a new “symptom” or “dis-ease”, they name it after themselves.

All of these are SYMPTOMS, just the “effects”, that a part, or parts, of the body is being attacked, is damaged, hasn’t healed, is dysfunctional, has been identified as such, and/or is under a state of repair thus is due to a direct response by the CNS for your health and survival. You can call this a “dis-ease” but it is simply a loss of homeostasis and an attempt to return to it.

There are many moving parts on the “construction site” and any one of those processes could be having problems causing or contributing to the state of “dis-ease”, or a constant or progressive state of damage, dysfunction, or work:

1. No energy or power.

2. Missing, altered, or destroyed blueprint and operational instructions.

3. Foreman unable to communicate instructions to the worker.

4. Workers unable to work or communicate with the Foreman.

5. The quantity of supplies, parts, and tools.

6. The quality of supplies, parts, and tools.

7. Dirty site.

8. Poor internal and/or external environment.

9. Constant barrage of damage from the environment.

These correspond in the human body as:

1. Lack of supply or use of energy.

2. Chemically or physically altered or destroyed DNA.

3. Disconnect between the nervous system or endocrine system from the body through mechanical compression or severing of nerves, blood vessels, or CSF flow.

4. Lack of macronutrients or micronutrients.

5. Poor quality of macronutrients or micronutrients.

6. Excess metabolic and/or chemical waste.

7. Altered physiological environment

8. Repeated damage from chronic pathogenic infections or overgrowth, plus the chemical and physical environment in which you live.

Over time, these problems add up, and the inability to fully return to homeostasis leads to progression of dis-ease, or disease. But when it comes to resolution—to have the ability to viably return any cell, tissue, organ to a state of homeostasis—all you would need to do, and should be able to, is simply address and resolve ALL these aforementioned “construction site” problems. The body would then simply take care of the rest, just as it was designed to do and just as it shows you on a daily basis.

(Now obviously this process doesn’t work if you’re actively having a life-or-death emergency such as a heart attack, stroke, mortal wound, broken bone, etc. then receiving acute medical care can prevent your death and/or decrease your permanent disability; let’s not be obtuse.)

But for chronic and progressive dis-ease this construction site approach is the most logical, correct, and effective way to restore full function and health. To suggest otherwise would be illogical at best, and criminal at worst. Not only is this possible, but it’s been repeatedly achieved successfully, many times over, for those who address it in this manner. Even if every other attempt you made has failed.

To properly run and operate a construction site there is a specific order in which you must address things, you can’t skip steps, and you can’t address only one problem at the construction site and not the other problems and expect to get anything “built” or have resolution of dis-ease.

You also simply cannot, as is the mainstream standard today, divide the body into individual parts (specialties), addressing only certain organs/tissues, and then just shut the CNS down, shut the body down, shut the symptoms off, ignore them, or remove the problem(s) as a means of treatment because doing so never resolves any problem.

They all work together as a single unit for your survival.

This should be obvious to our healthcare doctors yet this is how our current healthcare system has and continues to operate.

This topic of the central nervous system (the electrical system) and restoring its function (flow of electricity), the health and the communication to the workers, is one of the most studied yet (IMO) most misunderstood topics in healthcare.

Imagine trying to resolve any dis-ease, build or repair anything, without having proper and full communication from the workers to the foreman or the foreman to the workers.

Would it ever work?

No.

Yet 99.9999% of people are walking around today with undiagnosed percentage loss of proper communication. Most of them have had a loss resulting in a problem(s), big or small, for a very long time, decades even, with no resolution or full/proper diagnosis. One thing is for sure though, and that is the timing of onset, progression, and the severity of the condition have a 1:1 relationship with the percentage loss of proper communication.

Unless this communication is restored the body will NEVER fully rebuild or heal.

“The Foreman”:

Your Electrical System / Construction Site

In order to understand how something can degenerate, become dis-eased, or dysfunction you first must understand what it is, and what and how it does what it does. This article will take you all the way through the central nervous system (CNS) aka “Your Electrical System” and how the body is controlled and regulated by it.

Every single aspect of your body is controlled and regulated by the Central Nervous System and Neuroendocrine System.

1.     The Nervous System- Central Nervous System, Peripheral Nervous System, and the Autonomic Nervous System that control the processes, function, and healing of the entire body using nerves and neurotransmitters as information highways. This is a great way to achieve a goal quickly, in milliseconds, like with the snap of your finger (literally), and has brief effects.

2.     The Neuroendocrine System- Located in and controlled by the CNS, the hypothalamus, working in conjunction with the pituitary and pineal gland, controls most of the secretory organs and basic life functions like hunger, thirst, sleep, sex, stress and emotional responses using hormones, and acts for seconds/minutes/hours/days/months to have long-lasting effects.

1.     Central Nervous System (CNS)

• Consists of the brain, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord.

• Known as the Master Control system, it operates, controls, and regulates all vital functions, the entire body, and all organs and organ systems.

• Analyzes and assesses sensory information delivered to the brain from the body’s environment, detected and carried by the CNS and PNS.

• Allows, controls, and coordinates voluntary motor responses (movement) and maintains balance, coordination, equilibrium, and posture based on sensory information perceived from the environment.

• Regulates non-voluntary motor responses to sensory information.

• Can learn, associate, differentiate, problem solve, remember, etc. –anything related to perceived senses and applied motor responses.

• Oversees the regeneration process during sleep/REM cycles.

The brain and cerebellum:

The Brainstem contains ALL the nerves (information highways) of the spinal cord as they enter into the brain AND houses the nuclei, the point of origin, for ten of the twelve cranial nerves. Together this structure is responsible for many vital functions of life, such as breathing, consciousness, blood pressure, heart rate, and sleep (anabolism), as well as special sensory and special motor functions. You can continue to be alive without brain function so long as you have brainstem function (you’ll just be a vegetable), but without brainstem function you can not. (Note: locate the position of the pituitary gland in relation to the brainstem. Important for later.)

In this image above you can see 11 of the 12 cranial nerves.

1. CN1-Olfactory Nerve: Sense of smell. Located further to the front of the brain it has direct connections to the hypothalamus and the limbic system, which directly and strongly attach the sense of smell to long-term memory, emotions, and vital functions.

2. CN2-Optic Nerve: Vision.

3. CN3-Oculomotor Nerve:

   1. Constrict the pupils (parasympathetic)

   2. Focus on detail up close

   3. Moves the eye.

4. CN4-Trochlear Nerve:

   1. Moves the eye.

5. CN6-Abducens Nerve:

   1. Moves the eye.

      *****4 out of the 12 cranial nerves are directly responsible for you being able to see your environment.

6. CN5-Trigeminal Nerve:

   1. Sensory information to the head and the entire face, teeth, gums, and jaw

   2. Move the jaw

7. CN7-Facial Nerve:

   1. Move the face

   2. Run the glands of the face:

      1. Tear glands

      2. Nasal Mucosa

      3. Salivary glands

   3. Tastebuds

8. CN8-Vestibulocochlear Nerve: This is really two systems:

   1. The Vestibular System-

      1. Regulate balance

   2. The Cochlear System-

      1. Hearing

9. CN9-Glossopharyngeal Nerve:

   1. Contributes to the decrease of saliva production

   2. Sensory to the:

      1. posterior 1/3 of tastebuds on the tongue

      2. the entire throat

         1. gag-reflex

         2. swallowing sequence

      3. the middle ear which enables you to detect fullness from fluid buildup

      4. regulation of blood pressure by detecting changes in blood volume/pressure on carotid artery

10. CN10-Vagus Nerve: This is a BIG one—

    1. Runs some sensory, motor, and primarily parasympathetic (talk about that here in a little) input to the entire GI tract from the throat down to the last few inches of the colon as well as virtually every organ in your body.

    2. It also helps regulate the neuro-immunomodulatory center of the body controlling the regeneration and immune function.

    3. The epiglottis (flap that keeps fluids/objects out of your lungs and air out of your stomach)

    4. Vocal cords, esophagus, trachea, thymus, thyroid, lungs, heart, cardiac sphincter, stomach, digestive enzymes, pyloric sphincter, small intestine, colon, spleen, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, adrenal glands, pancreas, appendix, bladder, uterus, ovaries, cervix, vagina, penis, scrotum, and the testicles all receive all and/or significant part of their innervation from the Vagus Nerve.

11. CN11-Accessory Nerve:

    1. Helps the Vagus Nerve with swallowing and speech.

    2. Muscle control to the Upper Trapezius muscle and SCM which control the position and movement of your head—keeping it in line with the horizon to assist in balance.

12. CN12-Hypoglossal Nerve:

    1. Moves the tongue for:

       1. speaking

       2. chewing

       3. swallowing food

       4. breathing

The entire central nervous system is held buoyant (floating) inside the meninges (a three layer protective glove), and protected and maintained by the Cerebrospinal Fluid seen here in blue and moves about the CNS indicated by the arrows.

The CSF has 6 major functions:

1. Provides buoyancy and shock absorption (can’t compress a fluid; think hydraulics).

2. It is the medium for which to transport neuroendocrine hormones secreted by the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, the pineal gland and others to other areas of the brain and down the spinal cord to their target organs/areas.

3. It is the medium for which to transport neurotransmitters to other areas of the CNS.

   1. Neurotransmitters are similar to how a computer runs code using 1’s and 0’s except instead of 1’s and 0’s the CNS uses neurotransmitters; chemical yes’s and no’s; chemical present or not present = action performed or not performed.

   2. Examples of a few well known CNS neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, GABA, acetylcholine, and histamine, but there are also many others.

      1. Alteration in the amounts and transportation of these neurotransmitters directly lead to mental, emotional, cognitive, memory, dysfunction, dis-ease, and homeostatic decline/degeneration.

4. Carries specific CNS nutrients and healing agents.

5. Proper turnover and flow of the CSF is ESSENTIAL to prevention and healing of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Dementia, ALS, MS, CTE, as well as CNS tumors/malignancies.

6. Regulates homeostasis of the CNS. (Remember that word? Kind of a big deal…) It keeps the brain and brainstem and spinal cord fully healthy, regenerated, functioning properly, and in a perfect and specific state of environment.

7. Contains, and is the medium of transport for, the glymphatic system which is responsible for removing waste/toxins inside the CNS and keeping the “site clean”. Just like the body has a lymphatic system to remove waste/toxins, the CNS contains a glymphatic system to do the same expect it’s specialized for the CNS. So….how important is the CSF?

As mentioned before, the CNS contains the origins of the Neuroendocrine System: hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland. (Note the proximity to the CSF and the Brainstem)

The hypothalamic pituitary axis is an intricate pathway with a central role in maintaining homeostasis by integrating complex physiological and endocrine inputs, and neuronal and hormonal output. Disorders of the pathway result in a profound disturbance in blood pressure, thirst and electrolyte balance, body temperature, appetite and energy metabolism, reproduction, circadian rhythms and sleep, and the emergency response to stress.

»»Untreated, abnormalities of this axis are incompatible with life.

»»»»»»»incompatible with life……

Sensory information comes in and motor output comes out in response.

Examples:

Pituitary Hormones:

ADH: helps the body “retain water” through the kidneys. You may have heard of drugs being “diuretic” indicating they cause the body to “lose/excrete water”. This is one of the pathways in which your body regulates its blood pressure. More water retained = higher blood pressure, less water retained = lower blood pressure.

Oxytocin: contributes to the birthing process, the menstrual cycle, breast development, romantic attachments, relationships, trust, sexual arousal and orgasm, parent-child bonding, and love.

TSH: Stimulates the thyroid to make more T4, helping to regulate the turnover of tissues/cells, determine the rate of use or storage of energy; stimulates your “metabolism” and helps determine your BMR (basal metabolic rate) amongst many other physiological processes.

ACTH: These are your “stress hormones” that contribute to your state of catabolism and exist during states of “fight or flight” aka your Sympathetic Nervous System. Epinephrine and Norepinephrine (adrenaline) are your short-term stress hormones while Cortisol is your long-term stress hormone. ACTH also contributes to the production of melanin (tanning of the skin) and bone/muscle anabolism (building).

PRL: This hormone helps with the production, development, and secretion of breasts and breast milk before and after pregnancy.

GH: This hormone stimulates and controls the speed of the “building process” (anabolism) following catabolism, allows children and adults to “grow”, and has a significant impact on your BMR (basal metabolic rate).

GnRH: This hormone helps with embryonic development, puberty, menopause, sex hormone production (estrogen, testosterone, etc.), and the entire reproductive process.

Pineal Gland: also known as your “third eye” and the “seat of your soul” it has photoreceptors that help detect light, detect changes in your seasonal environment, regulate your sleep/wake cycles and your circadian rhythm (physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle). It will secrete the serotonin-derivative melatonin (different than melanin) which aids sleep/REM cycles, as well as secretes DMT (N-dimethyltryptamine) in large quantities at birth, death, and in deep meditation (prayer).

These neuroendocrine hormones are dumped directly into the CSF and transported towards their target destination.

The CNS also regulates the Autonomic Nervous System (involuntary; automatic). The ANS can be divided into two parts (remember, you exist in one of these two states at all times):

1. Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest and digest/homeostasis/anabolism)

2. Sympathetic Nervous System (fight and flight/active work/catabolism)

   

These two systems oppose one another. You don’t want to be running your Sympathetic NS while you’re in Parasympathetic mode and vice versa. This is why you’re not hungry or “in the mood” when you’re stressed out or exercising. It would also be quite impractical for you to use the bathroom while you’re running or fighting for your life.

Parasympathetic can also be considered your anabolic state (your building/regenerative state; your construction site) and your body’s homeostasis state, or better put: Parasympathetic allows the body to achieve homeostasis—your body’s perfect conditions and environment for achieving the next set of goals/work.

Homeostasis requires a precise physiologic environment and the health and full regeneration of cells/tissues/organs. When any part of the body is completely healed, capable of fully functioning, and/or in an current state of rest it is said to be in a state of “homeostasis”.

The word homeostasis derives from Greek, with homeo meaning “similar,” and stasis, meaning “stable.” Another way to describe this is being in a state of “ease”. If any part of the body is demanded to work for the benefit of the body, it comes out of homeostasis to do so.  And any INABILITY to go back into a complete state of homeostasis after working would then be considered in a state of “dis-ease”, or disease.

Degeneration —> Regeneration = Vitality

Degeneration —x—> Regeneration = Disease

The brainstem also helps regulate the immune system and its responses to dis-ease processes. It will help control and regulate system wide inflammatory processes by regulating cytokines. Remember how during COVID people talked about “cytokine storms” inducing inflammatory processes in multiple organs and organ systems? This process of inducing and regulating a cytokine response is regulated by the brainstem.

When you have damage or dysfunction to your cells and tissues, this information is relayed to your foreman and the foreman then sends instructions back through the immune system to set forth a regenerative process—this happens reflexively and is communicated back and forth from the foreman to the cell/tissue/organ until regeneration is complete with check-ups on a regular basis just to make sure.

Most of this work in neuro-immunomodulatory regulation occurs through the Vagus Nerve. (Did I mention that this nerve was a BIG ONE?)

Neural reflexes support homeostasis by modulating the function of organ systems. Recent advances in neuroscience and immunology have revealed that neural reflexes also regulate the immune system. Activation of the Vagus Nerve modulates leukocyte cytokine production and alleviates experimental shock and autoimmune disease, and recent data have suggested that Vagus Nerve stimulation can improve symptoms in human rheumatoid arthritis.

Simply put, if you expect to have a properly functioning Immune System, you must have proper communication with the Immune System and the Brain, and the CNS needs to be in full working function. (Communication with the foreman)

“Sickness behavior involves functional changes in mood, memory, cognition, and sleep, and it also activates the HPA (Hypothalamic Pituitary Axis) stress response.” In other words, when you are sick, it is your immune system that is telling your brain that you should lie down and take it easy. Whether you respond or not may have as much to do with the strength of the signal as with the strength of your will to keep going; no one knows.

“It’s certainly a two-way interaction, where the immune system signals the brain and the brain signals the immune system and the two, in concert, act as a rapid response system of the body to all sorts of external stimuli,” says Sternberg.

“The immune system can be viewed as a sensory organ,” she adds, “sending signals about pathogens [just as] the eyes send visual signals and the ears send auditory signals. The brain responds and produces hormones and neurochemicals that alter immune function.”

…..

The point of confluence for ALL these nerves (communication highways from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa), CSF, and a large portion of the brain’s blood/oxygen/nutrient supply, is right at the bottom of the skull through the Foramen Magnum and between the C1 and C2 vertebrae, a “functional unit” otherwise known as your upper cervical spine, and Atlas and Axis respectively.

The Foramen Magnum is Latin for “big hole”— they were really clever when naming this anatomical structure, seen here below:

The two lima bean shaped structures seen at the 9-12 o’clock and 12-3 o’clock, WEDGED for the purpose of maintaining additional anatomical stability and support positions of the foramen magnum are the bony articulations of the skull to C1.

C1 then wraps around the “Odontoid Process of C2” and is where the majority of rotation of your neck comes from.

C1 (Atlas/Top) and C2 (Axis/Middle) also have large (tapering in size) holes through their middles:

Notice C3-7 do NOT have a big hole:

That’s because C1 and C2 contain the brainstem.

Now that you have some understanding of what we are dealing with and how the construction site (your avatar) is regulated, operated, controlled, etc. by the “Foreman” aka your Central Nervous System aka Your Electrical System, let’s take a look at how physical trauma to the head and neck can set you on a course for a rapid or slow waterfall of progressive dysfunction/dis-ease in the next section: Miscommunication.

Miscommunication

Have you ever had a major head/neck trauma? Fallen down? Car accident? Got into a fight? Sports injuries? Concussions? Being a kid? Ever been born? Do they not YANK on the head and neck to pull you out at birth, sometimes with no regard? Sometimes in birth the babies simply get stuck or are turned the wrong direction. With a decent degree of force (but sometimes all it takes is a force in a certain direction) and now all of a sudden the upper cervical vertebrae are misaligned and not articulating correctly, they shift out of place, and encroach on that space where the blood vessels, CSF, and brainstem/spinal cord exist.

The first thing you’re going to compress is the CSF and blood vessels creating a narrower channel for the fluid to flow.

If you kink off a hose, even a little, do you not alter the rate, direction, and pressure of the flow?

>No. Pascal’s Law states that a force applied to a fluid will transfer in all directions equally. Think of the ripple in a pond after throwing a stone in it.

If you have a disruption or any kind of blockage of CSF flow into the brain and down the spinal cord, or a change in the rate, direction, or volume of the flow, will you:

1. Create a build-up of intracranial pressure from the CSF inside the brain?

   >Yes. Behind the eyes this is glaucoma. Behind the cerebellum it can result in Chiari Malformation.

2. Be able to fully and properly turnover the CSF to maintain its functions?

   >No.

3. Be able to fully and properly transport neuroendocrine hormones from the pituitary gland and the pineal gland to their target organs?

   >No.

4. Have a problem with ANY (and or ALL) of the neuroendocrine hormone pathways? (go back to Part 1 and look how many there are and what they do)

   >Yes.

5. Be able to fully and properly transport neurotransmitters in the CNS like dopamine (movement, memory and pleasurable reward and motivation), serotonin (mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting, and sexual desire), GABA (reduce neuronal excitability by inhibiting nerve transmission), glutamate (learning and memory) and all other neurotransmitters?

   > No.

6. Have potential for impaired cognitive function? Depression? Anxiety? Poor health and wound healing of all tissues including the brain? Decreased motivation? Decreased memory? Decreased restful and fruitful sleep? Decreased sexual desire? Mind racing; unable to shut it off? Stress? How many more can we list here? Don’t think I can fit an encyclopedia’s worth of information on this one article.

If you compress into the space of the CSF further with a bigger misalignment you can lead to compression of the transition of the brainstem and upper spinal cord. Fluids can’t be compressed (think hydraulics) but if a force is applied externally the force will transfer in all directions away from the compressive force (Pascal’s Law)—in this case the transition between the brainstem and the upper spinal cord…. that carries virtually every nerve from your entire body and also houses the major cranial nerves…. as well as change the direction and the rate/volume of the flow of CSF. Compounding problems.

If you compress a nerve, the nerve can no longer send an electrical signal properly, either sensory input and/or motor output, electromagnetic fields are disrupted, information is disrupted, control is disrupted, and it will result in pain and “symptoms” of dysfunction.

»This means everything that nerve attaches to, detects and sends information from, controls the function of, and otherwise regulates, regenerates, immunomodulates, and controls the homeostatic state of will also have a problem—even if it’s far away and you think it isn’t connected. It’s just a muscle. It’s just IBS. It’s just my heart rate/rhythm. Etc.

So any one of these major cranial nerves can be affected?
Go back and read (how many things do those cranial nerves do?).

What about the tissues these nerves travel to?

Compression of these nerves results in all of the aforementioned nerve compression symptoms/dysfunctions but can also lead to intense pain, numbness and tingling, as well as loss of strength and function of the tissues these nerves go to.

And lastly, how many major parasympathetic nerves exist in the upper cervical/brainstem?

Virtually all of them?

If you are compressing on parasympathetic nerves can they function properly?

>No.

Will you have a problem getting back into parasympathetic/rest-and-digest/homeostasis/anabolic state?

>Yes.

If you are stuck in Sympathetic overdrive, can’t get into PS/homeostasis/anabolism will you constantly be operating in a state of “fight or flight”?

>Yes.

What’s that otherwise known as?
>Dis-ease. Or disease.

How many dis-eases can be caused or perpetuated JUST by CSF/Upper Cervical/Brainstem compression due to misalignment? All of them?
>Think about that for a second. (and we’re not even done)

This compression isn’t some pinched nerve in your low back causing sciatica, this is your brainstem and confluence of all nerves and your electrical system- it’s a BIG PROBLEM that threatens your body’s survival. But when survival is at stake (your body’s number one goal is to survive) your CNS is willing to make sacrifices to keep you alive.

As an example everyone is familiar with—let’s take temperature regulation.

If you go outside in the cold weather and stay put your body will fight the change in external temperature in order to maintain its internal temperature. (Where does temperature regulation occur? In the hypothalamus just north of the brainstem.) You will start going through catabolism (burning fuel), your muscles will shiver in order to create heat as a byproduct, and your foreman will tell the blood vessels in your extremities to shunt blood back to the internal organs and the central nervous system. So what are the first things to get frostbite? Fingers, toes, ears, and nose—those with the least amount of blood supply, and those with the least amount of necessity for your survival.

This was a sacrifice the body made in order to survive. Your internal organs and nervous system are WAY more important than your ears and toes etc. You can live without fingers and toes but you can NOT live without your internal organs or nervous system. Therefore the body KNOWS there is a system of hierarchy of your tissues/organ importance and already ranks their values to your survival.

So, what’s more important than your Brain, brainstem, and CSF? What’s higher on the hierarchy?

>Nothing.

So, what’s the CNS willing to sacrifice to keep its function and survival?

>Anything.

And it does. It does indeed make a sacrifice.

Let’s take a look.
Do you think this person has an upper cervical misalignment? (Yes, they do.)

The problem of brainstem/CSF compression can be managed by altering the path of the neural tube—you get a kink and on one side you will see a lift.

Wherever the head goes, the body goes.

Wherever the upper cervical goes, the whole spine goes, the body goes, and it becomes something that every cell and tissue in the body is doing for the sake of maintaining your electrical system’s communications.

The brain will direct the paraspinal muscles to

1. Move the spine in order to open up the neural tube and relieve compression

2. Keep the electrical communication open

3. It will also direct the upper trapezius muscle, suboccipital triangle muscles, and the SCMs to contract to keep the eyes on the horizon (can’t traverse the world tilted) and stabilize the UC spine.

4. Respond to, adapt, and compensate for every trauma and misalignment to the UC spine.

Like a Rubik’s cube, when you turn the first side away from solved you can consider that the first trauma, and a separate trauma would be turning a completely different side. You didn’t remove the first, you added to it. You can turn the Rubik’s cube many times away from solved or only a few in life.

The spine will change directions for each one and hold on to them, stacked like layers, and it becomes something the whole spine is doing. Each layer has its own torque on the spine that brings it out of neutral, increasing energy into the system to hold it there.

This is otherwise known as your (compensatory) “Scoliosis”.

These images are all the same person and a real patient at my office. Do you think she has dis-ease? Pain? Where? A lot of places?

The vast and overwhelming majority of people who have scoliosis have a compensatory scoliosis. If you have upper cervical misalignment- you have a compensatory scoliosis.

(**The congenital form is due to malformed vertebrae causing uneven stacking of the next vertebrae above or below, but this is considered “rare”. )

These muscles traverse both sides of the spine, some big and some small, and when they asymmetrically contract they can create the specific and necessary tension to manifest the compensatory scoliosis. Everyone who has an upper cervical misalignment has a compensatory scoliosis. The degree of which is directly associated with the degree of UC misalignment.

These sacrifices, of course, have its own set of consequences because while the spine changed shapes and positions the force of gravity did NOT.

The spine is designed to be vertically straight (with built in normal front to back curves to increase strength) so that you CAN handle the ninety-degree, direct, compressive force of gravity on the body. Its vertebrae are designed to be cube shaped to handle it and disperse the force over a larger surface. Furthermore, there are ‘discs’ in between each vertebrae to act as shock absorbers. The disc contains a “jelly fluid” encased in many layers of connective tissue (annular fibers) wrapped around it similar to a Chinese finger-trap design (can’t compress a fluid; hydraulics).

But now the spine is not able to handle those vertical compression forces very well because their position has changed. On one side of the spine the connective joints and vertebrae are pulled apart and on the other side they’re compressed—experiencing asymmetrical dispersion of forces.

And if you squeeze a balloon on one side, what do you think happens?

On the gapped side the joint capsules and ligaments become stretched, and the ‘disc’ “balloons” out.

If this force continues, or is great enough, the fluid (that can’t be compressed) will push through and tear the annular fibers. If it reaches the outer edge it will cause a “herniation”. Due to the proximity of the spinal cord and spinal nerves exiting bilaterally at all vertebral levels of the spine this can cause a series of consequences of its own.

The greater the asymmetrical and compression force experienced, along with the duration and constant state of which the spine experiences these forces causes progressive destruction of tissues and “dis-ease”.

This is diagram is showing you some of the stages of “Degenerative Disc Disease”.

Depending on the degree of bulge/herniation of the disc it can cause the compression of the spinal cord or the nerve traveling out that side it and can lead to first pain, then numbness and tingling, then loss of motor function down the path of that entire nerve and all the tissues it goes to.

In worse cases, the nerve can be compressed coming out of the spine by the disc, and AGAIN as it enters through the foramen magnum—double compressed. Imagine how much function and homeostasis those tissues have from multiple compressions along the path of any nerve.

On the opposite side the opposite is true. Instead of the disc bulging out and the capsules/ligaments stretching, the joints on the other side are being overly compressed. Have you ever used your hands for work? Worked out by lifting weights? What do your hands develop? Callouses. A callous is the body’s response to these forces by growing more tissue in direct response to the stress/force placed on it in order to handle that stress/force better next time.

So if two bones are both experiencing stress/force at a joint what will the result be? Growth of more bone in response? A bone callous?

On x-ray, the more dense an area is the more white it appears, and the less dense an area is the more black it appears. Now find the joints (where one bone meets another) and look at all the extra white? This is increased bone density or “extra bone growth”; a bone callous.

The foreman perceives this scoliotic scenario as spinal instability and so to offer any kind of help at all it’s going to instruct the spine to start fusing together to create stability. The ligaments that attach each vertebrae start to ossify (turn to bone) and the ends of the vertebrae growing out due to the excess compressive force eventually meet up (stalactite and stalagmite) until they join together. These are otherwise known as osteophytes and bone spurs. And what do certain doctors say about bone spurs? Good thing or a bad thing? They say “bad thing—let’s remove them” ….but this was what your body was doing to stabilize its unstable spine holding its very delicate spinal cord (information/control highways).

Did they fix anything by removing them? No.

And if you thought we were done, we aren’t. This scenario hasn’t even taken movement into consideration yet.

Muscles move the body by contracting ONLY—they’re kind of like rubber bands—they contract. Muscles do not actively stretch; muscles are either actively contracted (shortened) or they’re inhibited (lengthened)—and since muscles are always on opposing ends of a joint they create opposing actions and this is how controlled movement occurs. Controlled by what? The foreman.

In order to control movement of a joint there has to be activation of muscle tissue on one side and an inhibition on the other. Therefore, this process is BUILT IN to your system— as soon as one muscle contracts there is a spinal reflex (non-voluntary) that inhibits the opposing muscle—this is automatic.

Knowing that information, when you have an upper cervical misalignment causing compression on your neural tube and its contents your body will contract muscles to move the spine over to “unkink” the flow AND will contract the muscles that attach to it to reduce the range of motion and adjust position while holding the head steady on the horizon to prevent it from getting worse. This means your upper trapezius muscles, SCMs, scalene muscles, and paraspinal muscles will contract and STAY contracted until the problem is resolved.

(How many people are constantly complaining about how “tight” and “tense” their upper shoulders and neck muscles are? How many times have you gotten a massage to try and loosen them up only for them to come back after a period of time? Has it ever worked long-term or fully resolved? Ever?)

If a muscle contracts what MUST happen according to your built in spinal reflex? The opposing muscle must inhibit (turn off). Let’s look at how this plays out in the human body:

The upper traps/levator scapula contract long term causing an inhibition of their opposing muscles the lower traps/rhomboids/serratus. These inhibited muscles’ jobs are to bring the scapula (shoulder blade) backward and down toward the midline creating stability of the thoracic spine and rib joints, while also stabilizing the shoulder joint. If the shoulders are not positioned down and backward then they are up and forward which means the next set of contracted muscles are the pectoralis muscles. If your shoulders are now up and forward where does your head go? Forward. So the SCM’s also contract to draw the head forward thus inhibiting the deep cervical flexors which are responsible for keeping the ears over the shoulders and holding the cervical spine in line with the rest of the spine. This system perpetuates itself, progressing worse and worse, causing more compressive forces on the spine resulting in more disc and joint degeneration issues.

The same thing can happen in the lower body. The upper cervical misalignment causes torquing of the whole spine leading to low back injury. The last thing that feels good is to extend and stand up straight on a low back injury and thus you sit down or bend at the hips to take the pressure off. The hip flexors contract leading to inhibition of their opposing muscles the glutes which stabilize your center of gravity and pelvis, and hold you erect, forcing you to stand up with your low back muscles (not designed to do this long term). The contraction of your low back erector muscles causes the inhibition of your core musculature which acts to stabilize your lumbar spine like a “corset”—core vs corset…. (the naming of these things, I swear).

If you will notice in the diagram above, all of the “inhibited muscles” are your “postural muscles”. They stabilize your midline and keep you standing erect so that you are able to handle the force of gravity as well as provide a stable foundation for which your limbs/extremities can pivot off of. If the muscles that move your limbs are now also being used to also stabilize the joints (double duty), all while pivoting off of an unstable midline, THEY will go through overuse injuries at the joint, muscles, or tendons. Rotator cuff, biceps tendon, labrum, SI joints, hip joints, hip labrum, impingements, patellar tendinitis, knee injuries, meniscus tears, ligament tears, tendon tears, muscle tears, …and on and on and on…

All of that - again - are just symptoms of a domino effect caused by an upper cervical misalignment. AND if that area’s nerves are also compressed at the upper cervical or at the spine, or anywhere they travel through overused and spastic muscles to get where they need to go, then the level of homeostasis, anabolism, and regeneration that occurs there is precipitously less in a direct ratio compared to the use + loss of communication with the foreman.

Weak muscles? Inability to properly move? Immobility? Lack of range of motion?Poor posture? Overuse injuries? Degeneration? Getting older? Yes, but those are SYMPTOMS— NOT the cause. The cause was the upper cervical misalignment.

You can have problems ANYWHERE along the construction site contributing to the level of degeneration, dysfunction, dis-ease, etc. Workers, supplies/materials, parts and tools, dirty site, poor management, lack of security, and vandalizers, but no matter what you do to address those issues, if you never address the communication issue then the best you can ever do is some percentage less than 100% in direct relation to the duration and level of miscommunication you have. If you go to a “specialist” who doesn’t work “in the whole body” and only address or attempt to correct one of these pieces of the construction site, does anything ever heal? No.

However, if you simply (properly) “unkink” the upper cervical spine and restore the integrity of the neural tube, thus freeing up the CSF/brainstem/spinal cord, what do you think will happen next?

The test allows for the body to re-establish communication, control, function, and the innate healing/regenerative properties: The whole domino-effect will undo and unravel itself in reverse order, and the dis-eased, degenerative, dysfunctional, etc tissues in the body that were a problem before will begin to heal, regenerate, resolve, and function properly, as written by your DNA.

THIS is called your “innate intelligence” and it exists for everything in your avatar from head to toe.

Perfect in design.

Sweet. How do you do that?

The Master Reset

Scenario: if you put a long-term tourniquet around your forearm, and then acquire an injury to the hand below, what treatment, therapy, surgery, drug, nutrient, rehab, chiropractic, etc is going to resolve the injury until you remove the tourniquet?

This is the same concept of what is happening to you, except instead of having these tourniquets around your arm, they’re around your brainstem, literally squeezing the life out of you. Some people have multiple tourniquets known as “layered misalignments” and “layers” acquired from multiple traumas in different directions creating misalignments on top of misalignments.

Further complicating things, there’s a “combination lock” on these tourniquets and to remove them, you must unlock them first.

How do you know you have this issue, aside from the fact that your body has all these symptoms?

1. Movement of your head and neck in one or more directions creates a sound of “Rice Krispies” or grinding.

2. There is asymmetrical and reduced range of motion, generalized stiffness or pinching sensations in the neck and the rest of the spine/ribs.

3. There is some sort of injury, dysfunction, dis-ease, of any kind, anywhere in the body, that will not resolve.

4. Scoliosis

Logically, if you want to correct any misalignment you’re going to have to first determine the correct “combination to the lock” — ie the precise diagnosis (3D positional coordinates) of each joint, and the angles of the upper cervical complex.

How might you determine this? Would you image it? Hopefully, if you went to a chiropractor with spine issues they would take an x-ray to see the current state of condition in your spine and body. As is the “standard of care” for spinal conditions and diseases.

Nowadays, technology is so advanced that you could take a Cone Beam CT scan and get a “3D image” that you can “slice and dice” using a fancy computer program to see exact locations, precision detail and angles.

Perhaps that would give you a better idea of where misalignment occurs.

But is this system consistent?

It’s important to note that a CBCT image, an x-ray image, MRI, etc will only show you static (still) positioning of joints.

But, What do joints do?

They move.

If you had a door that was unlocked, hinges attached, but wouldn’t open— Would you take a picture, a static image, of the door to diagnose this? No. You would attempt to MOVE it and then discover the hinges were rusty. By adding some WD-40 —voila! It moves again.

Additionally, could a “fixed/stuck” joint appear to be in alignment but doesn’t move properly? Yes. That’s a movement disorder. Would imaging detect it? No.

CBCT, x-ray, and MRI imaging are excellent ways to determine condition, pathology, and have a clear view inside the human body to see what’s there. But you can NOT use them to 100% precisely diagnose misalignment (a movement disorder).

The Test is THE BEST and most accurate and precise way to diagnose a misalignment using the body’s own inherent and built in reflexive systems to objectively show us what is true of the integrity of each joint of the upper cervical complex.

If done correctly, this test will produce 100% precise and accurate results, with 100% inter-examiner reliability, including fixed joints, and occipitalization. It can pick up a listing (misalignment combination) change if layered misalignments exist, or a new misalignment is acquired through trauma, as well can tell you if you are in alignment thus knowing when to leave it alone—“if it’s not broke, don’t fix it”.

Remember from the previous article when we talked about how upper cervical misalignment causes the CNS to direct the paraspinal muscles to pull the spine into a compensatory scoliosis that “unkinks” the neural tube? (This happens as part of the sacrifice to protect the CNS communication and vital functions.) Well those paraspinal muscles travel down both sides of the spine all the way to the top of each side of your pelvis. If one side is contracted more than the other what will that side of the pelvis then do? Shift/move up. What else is attached to your pelvis? Your leg. If your pelvis goes up, where does your leg go? Up with it. This gives you the appearance of having a “short leg”.

If you have been to a half-decent chiropractor you have discovered you have a short-leg. Some of these chiropractors will elect to put a “heel lift” in to correct the problem. Does this work? No. This actually makes it worse.

Some medical doctors will suggest they perform surgery on your leg to lengthen it. Does this work? No. (And it’s insane). Real patients of mine have had this procedure performed on them by MD/DO’s.

Some chiropractors will tell you that the short leg is coming from your pelvis and they need to adjust your pelvis to correct it. Does this work? No. How you do you know? Because it comes from your upper cervical spine and goes THROUGH the pelvis. As soon as you get off the table your short leg will return.

Has your chiropractor ever shown you that your short leg has been corrected?

Have you ever not had a short leg on the next appointment? No?

Have someone look right now— I bet you they’re uneven.

This short leg is not FROM your pelvis—it’s THROUGH your pelvis.

»It’s FROM the upper cervical.

In the Test I can go to each joint of the upper cervical spine, and knowing how they move I can stress them in certain directions either 1) into further misalignment or 2) back into proper alignment.

If the stress is further misaligning the joint, what do you think will happen to the short leg?

>It will get more short.

If is further aligning the joint, what do you think will happen to the short leg?

>It will improve, or balance out with the other leg.

If the joint is “fixed” and you push on it what do you think will happen to the short leg?

>Nothing. It’s stuck. No movement occurs.

Each joint will give you a specific stress measurement, and this is the combination used to unlock it— being 100% reflexive from the person’s own central nervous system—their electrical system.

As you work through every upper cervical joint in stress/motion testing (skull on C1, and C2 on C3) you will arrive, through binary algorithms, at an accurate diagnosis of the 3D coordinate positions and the functional integrity at each joint. This provides you with a “listing” or a “combination” to unlock the lock that holds the “tourniquet” around your brainstem.

Now that you know what it is, can any chiropractor fix it?

Well……

1: To adjust a joint in traditional chiropractic you need to move the joint along its joint plane and vector, all the way to the end range, and then gently and quickly push past along that vector. If they move the joint just past full range of motion it will make a “pop” or “crack” sound. This sound is a normal sound of a joint undergoing depressurization. This is different than “clicking” or “grinding” of ligaments and tendons over bones that can be repeated over and over again at request. Depressurization can only produce a sound if there is pressure inside the joint, and after releasing it the joint takes minimum 20 minutes before it can have pressure inside again enough to produce an audible sound upon adjustment.

2: In the lumbar spine, if you look at all the joint planes and vectors you will notice something. They are virtually all in the same plane and same vector, in parallel, designed the same to allow and produce a certain movement in your lumbar spine.

When you get to the thoracic spine their joint planes and vectors change from the lumbar spine to allow for specific thoracic spine movement but are virtually all still in the same plane and same vector as seen below.

And when you get to the cervical spine, between C7 and C3, their joint planes and vectors change from the others to allow for specific cervical spine movement but are all still virtually in the same plane and same angle.

Meaning, in general, you can adjust these areas, and get multiple “pops” and multiple joints to move without too much of a problem (a bit more complicated than that but you get the gist).

All the way up to the upper cervical spine (C3 to the skull) where the joint vectors and planes and movements are ALL DIFFERENT at each level. Further, the C1 joints under the skull exist and move in converging vectors—like a wedge. This is not only because different movements are necessary up there but also because these joint vectors and planes serve as anatomical boney locking mechanisms that provide built-in increased stability to PROTECT you from gross misalignment in order to maintain the integrity of the neural tube and brainstem.

Think about a car. If you were to turn the front two tires inward like a wedge to a converging point, where would you be able to drive? Parallel wheels can move readily and freely, while non-parallel wheels, and especially wedged angles, can not.

Meaning if you try to “adjust” one joint in the upper cervical spine using traditional chiropractic, and multiple joints move, you may have corrected the initial joint but you CREATED multiple other misalignments on the opposite side which now need to be corrected. On attempting to correct those created misalignments you may over adjust AGAIN creating misalignments on the opposite side AGAIN. Why? Because the joint angles and planes directly oppose one another. Around and around and around you go.

If the chiropractor adjusting you discovered your “scoliosis” to have specific side-to-side and rotation misalignments of the spine, and attempted to adjust it WITHOUT FULLY CORRECTING the upper cervical spine first, what will ALWAYS happen within a short amount of time?

It will come back.

Why?

Because the scoliosis and subsequent misalignment was put there ON PURPOSE by your central nervous system (due to the upper cervical misalignment) and in order to open Your Electrical System’s flow of electricity.

They know it’s going to come back which is why you’re instructed to come for the frequency and duration that you are. I don’t believe they want that to happen, I truly believe that most do want to fix you, and they know they can provide relief because when they free up any joint it makes people feel better, but it does indeed come back every time. So of course they are going to invite you back. They are either ignorant or incapable of correcting the nuances of the upper cervical misalignment complex.

Just as an example, due to the complexity of the upper cervical joint anatomy C2 and C3 joints can have 12 different combinations of misalignment, and the Skull on C1 can have 10 different combinations of misalignment. Each upper cervical complex (C0 on C1, C2 on C3) having the possibility of having any of the combinations of misalignment being paired with any of the combinations of misalignment of the other level makes people unique and their treatment should be specific to them.

Furthermore, a standard chiropractor is traditionally taught that because there is a thick Anterior Longitudinal Ligament running the front side of the entire spine that there can’t really ever be “forward misalignments”. Upon clinical evidence and further thought this is simply untrue. The ALL is in front of the BODIES of the vertebrae, not the joints, AND about 50% of my patients have anterior (forward) misalignments. Sometimes they have forward ones at one level and posterior ones at the one below.

Because the standard chiropractor is taught this they are also taught how to adjust by contacting the backside of your spine. This leaves the resulting force applied as invariably having a vector of some degree forward… if you are forward and get pushed more forward, are you better or worse?

Once the adjustment is performed:

1. How do they know the joints are in alignment? Are they going to re-image you? Rely upon symptoms and subjectivity?

2. When do they decide not to adjust? If you adjust an upper cervical joint that is in alignment do you make it better or worse?

3. What about all that excess radiation if you have to re-image?

All of these reasons are why a decent portion of the population tries chiropractic for their health care only to quit because they get adjusted and are made worse, not better, or they are going on forever without an end to their treatment plan or their condition. There may be long periods of relief of symptoms but invariably it returns at some point.

To adjust the upper cervical spine correctly it must be done in a certain way, specific to each joint and its precise position of misalignment, and it must be done in a certain order from least significant to most significant (neurological input). Starting with C2 minors then majors, and ending with C1 minors then majors. No bending, twisting, cracking, popping, or otherwise removing the spine out of a mid-line neutral position to avoid any injury or further unintentional misalignment.

However, currently, ALL upper cervical specific and traditional chiropractic techniques use some form or fashion of imaging as the final director of diagnosis. What are the odds that they will determine the right combination to clear the first layer? What are the odds that they are able to determine a subsequent listing change—a layer? What about objectively knowing when not to adjust?

While they are still going to make huge improvements and changes on people’s lives/conditions because they are focusing on the correct area, most will still inevitably fail to fully resolve some of their cases because their diagnosis is reliant upon a static image which gives you incomplete information at best. And incomplete information won’t fully “unlock” it.

With stress/motion testing, you do NOT have to image to determine if a patient is in alignment or out of alignment. When they are in alignment 1) the feet will be dead even (assuming no fracture along growth plates in the legs growing up or any surgery/fracture that created an anatomically short leg), and 2) when re-testing stress/motion at the specific joint planes and angles the legs WILL NOT MOVE; they will stay even. They will stay even as long as the upper cervical stays in alignment. Period.

Further, as you continue to live life after this first misalignment, and it was never corrected, you can have ANOTHER trauma in a separate direction. This can misalign you from an already misaligned position, and the spine below will also move to match it and compensate from an already compensated position. This is called a "layer" of misalignment.

When you are already misaligned at C1 and C2, the built in stability of joint integrity is not strong, therefore it doesn't always have to be a huge force to create another misalignment.

Sometimes major traumas can create misalignments that take a significant percentage of communication from you.

Some traumas will be minor and only take a small percentage of communication from you.

Each misalignment will take something specific and different from you, each adding and contributing to the total loss of communication.

And every time you add a misalignment and a compensatory scoliosis, you add energy to the system to activate muscles to contract to keep it there as you essentially increase the tension of the vice grip on your central nervous system, and large disruptions in Your Electrical System.

As far as the chiropractic profession is concerned, they do not know nor understand what a “layer” of misalignment is—they’re not taught this.

This is not one bone out of place or even multiple bones out of place that just need to be adjusted back into alignment. This is layer upon layer of misalignment and torque due to intentional compensation of the spine that matches each acquired layer of upper cervical misalignment, AND all of the traumas to the spine directly layered and added at specific moments in tension and time of the spine.

This is why if you do not correct the upper cervical spine first in this manner, you will never hold any adjustment to the spine below as they are all doing what the CNS is telling them to do INTENTIONALLY.

As a 12 year chiropractor who has searched under every rock to find the answers for people's health, with countless continuing education efforts and experiments on myself, I have personally found that The ONLY way to fix this situation is to start at the top and begin correcting the upper cervical misalignment(s) first. Don't forget, the top one is just the one that was from the most recent trauma that misaligned you, and it took something specific from you. Once that layer of misalignment is cleared that specific loss of communication that it took from you is immediately restored. The torque on the spine below that was holding it in a compensating scoliosis for that misalignment is immediately removed. But, All of the other torques for each of the other upper cervical misalignments are still there and they will start unwinding. All of the previous upper cervical misalignments will come back out of alignment in reverse chronological order and resurface at C1 and C2 as the spine unravels like a pez dispenser or a gun magazine, or a Rubik's cube in reverse order, however many turns away from solved you started from. The rate of which is dictated by how much you move, the degree of torque of the scoliosis, the degree of arthritic degeneration present, and any surgical procedures done that reduce motion of the spine.

But ALL can cross the finish line and remove all layers and have 100% open central nervous system.

How many layers of misalignment do (you) have?

How many can you have?

So far in my experience, most people will have single digit layers.

A few outliers can have quite a few more. It all depends on each person's unique life experience and how much trauma they experienced that misaligned them. Not every trauma will create a misalignment.

BUT... You can NOT have an infinite number of these so at some point, there are no more.

And since you are Designed to have built in anatomical stability of the upper cervical joints , you won't come out of alignment again at some point unless you have another significant injury to the head or neck. Sleep, work, daily activities, sport, weight lifting, and physical activity -- ie normal use of the body -- will not misalign you. You can injure tissue, but if not misaligned you will recover from it through the regenerative capacities of the human body.

It is important to note that a specific condition won't respond to this process until the layer of upper cervical misalignment that caused it resurfaces and is cleared.

And even if you manage to clear all of your layers in a short amount of time you STILL have to do all the Regenerating.

This is going to happen in a process that we call "retracing cycles" which is the 63 day, or 9-week, cyclical nature of healing built into your DNA. This is a precision operation your body does to heal you and it can be objectively measured and predicted in everyone.

You have been doing this 9 week healing cycle for your entire life, you just didn't know it. Every 9 weeks there is a 3 week span of time where your body ACTIVELY AND INTENTIONALLY inflames specific tissues in order to heal them. This will produce symptoms and pain that are specific to the degree of healing and the specific tissue(s) involved. We have been told our entire lives that these symptoms ARE the disease and we do things and take things to get them to stop. But these are not necessarily signs of THE disease rather they are often the signs of your body RESPONDING to the disease and trying to heal itself. Like a fever when you have an infection. Don't treat the fever... treat the infection. But I digress...

So, what does healing actually look like?

Well, as soon as you come in and fully clear an upper cervical misalignment, and restore a specific percentage of CNS communication, your brain will then recognize the need to heal and regenerate those specific tissues involved. This changes the vector of your health. You were in a state of progressive degeneration, and now your body will determine that it is in a state of progressive regeneration. This resets your healing cycle clock to day 0. Healing is a

Whatever communication you were given back, those tissues have to "wake up" and "come online". This process can be minor or intense depending on what percentage of communication was given back, and it will take 21 days (or 3 weeks). This is not healing yet, this is turning online and it will cost some energy to do! Think about a time where you sat down too long and your legs went to sleep, or you laid down and your arms went to sleep, once you stand up and decompress these nerve structures they "tingle" to some degree as they wake up. The longer and greater degree of compression the longer and greater degree of intensity of symptoms as they wake up. Except we aren't aren't talking about legs or arms, we are talking about your brainstem, so it could be ANYTHING. Expect some degree of fatigue as your body restores its functions.

Assuming you don't "throw your next layer" and maintain your alignment, you will have 3 weeks of stability immediately following.

And then we arrive at the last 3 weeks of the 9 week cycle.

For 70% of people, they will become "symptomatic" as they "retrace" through old injuries, diseases, degenerations, dysfunctions, and illnesses, inflaming them in order to heal.

This process will cost energy resulting in fatigue, and produce various degrees of symptoms and intensity. People tend to have PTSD as they think their conditions have returned but have NO FEAR as this process is TEMPORARY. It will only last for 3 weeks (21 days) and then you will repeat the cycle except without the initial 3 weeks of "turning online" symptoms.

The cycle will then progress forward like this where there are 6 weeks of blue (stability) followed by 3 weeks of red. 6 weeks of blue, then 3 weeks of red. On repeat for the rest of your life. Now you won't have to deal with the same type or intensity of healing each cycle as you will make significant and permanent headway in the healing process, so these do become easier over time. And eventually you do finish healing everything but this process usually takes 1 month for every year the original first misalignment occurred which could be birth, and we just assume it is to keep the answer conservative.

Now every 4th cycle, you will do major healing, tissue remodeling, function restoration, and regeneration. These active symptomatic periods will last for 4 weeks instead of 3, and are usually more intense. These cycles will be the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th, etc. cycles only and every cycle in between will go back to a 3 week symptomatic period. It looks something like this.

The other 30% of people will not be symptomatic during the "last 3 weeks" and instead will be symptomatic the "first 3 weeks" of the next 9 week cycle. Their cycles look like this:

You are either the "last 3 weeks" or the "first 3 weeks" and you can't be both. To determine which you are, you will have to be found 1) in alignment 2) symptomatic 3) on the schedule. Once this is objectively discerned you can map out the next years of your life and predict precisely when you will be symptomatic for healing and when you shouldn't be.

As a reminder, as each layer comes out it only gives you back what it took from you, and your body only heals what it has back. This may produce some frustrations if the layer responsible doesn't show up right away or quickly, but all layers do show up to those who pursue this until the end and clear them.

Every time a layer is cleared, you are adding to the positive progressive regeneration your body is capable of. This continues you on the upwards vector of healing and therefore does NOT restart your 9 week recycle clock. Everything is still based upon the very first adjustment date, assuming NO NEW TRAUMA occurred creating a NEW UPPER CERVICAL LAYER that would alter your healing vector.

When the specific percentage of communication is restored again after each layer cleared, there will be a 3 week (21 day) symptomatic period where your body has to turn online. This 3 week period of time can occur at any point in your cycle depending on when you have it cleared. It could be overlapping your retracing cycle, it could be the 3 weeks prior to your retracing cycle, and extend symptomatic periods. That isn't fair to some, but it will only be temporary so DON'T PANIC.

At some point you won't have any more layers to clear and you will stay in alignment. This will put you Into a very predictable groove of your healing (retracing) cycle and you will move through these like clockwork. Every day that passes by and you don't have new traumas, you will gain an inch of function and healing. Every 9 week cycle you will gain a mile. Some start out with only a few miles to go. Some have many many miles to travel. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other, show up with all your essential building blocks (nutrients), and clean you and your filters out... and VOILA!

If you have a human body — this works.

The proof is in the pudding.

This. Over and over and over again. Different patients, different compressions, different misalignments, different number of layers, different symptoms and levels of dysfunction/dis-ease/etc.

Same result—system wide healing, regeneration, and resolution.

Such a simple solution for so many complicated, compounding, and elusive problems.

Almost like God designed it that way.
Man screwed it up thinking we know better than what is written on our DNA.

We don’t know better than the innate intelligence of the human body. It is a self-regulating, self-adapting, self-healing supermachine that defies the laws of the universe (entropy) and death DAILY by STAYING ALIVE.

It can handle what you need - you just have to give it the opportunity to.

As you have seen in previous articles (click to read), the Central Nervous System controls everything in the body, so it also ultimately controls the healing process. Your inability to heal before was due to the lack of full access and communication through the CNS and the rest of the body. Once restored, then anything is possible and it’s the immune system that plays one of the biggest roles on the construction site of the who/what/when/where/how of defense/repair/rebuilding/regeneration.

Your body is made up of trillions of cells and they can’t all be regenerated and rebuilt at once, so the way your body organizes and coordinates the “boots on the ground” workers, materials, supplies, parts, and tools, is through a process everyone is familiar with, but few understand— inflammation.

The immune system always has “boots on the ground” (WBCs) identifying all potential problems within your body, and once identified and reported to the foreman they will initiate the inflammatory process through the release of certain chemicals called ‘cytokines’. (Remember the discussion(s) about “cytokine storms” in people with COVID?) Think of it like a chemical cell signal, a flare in the night-sky, for materials/supplies/parts/tools and all the worker cells to come and perform a certain action—defense, protection, repair, or regeneration—depending on what is needed and where.

But what do most people think about inflammation?
Good thing or bad thing?

The majority of people would tell you that inflammation is a bad thing—but why? Because when inflammation is present, the area with inflammation will have pain and symptoms that we were all taught are signs and symptoms of disease. While this is somewhat true, what is also true is that these are also signs that the body is AWARE there is a dis-ease process and is currently doing something about it. The pain is a warning that there is a problem there (so don’t do something stupid), the type of pain indicates what may be happening, the intensity of the pain indicates the severity of the problem, and the symptoms (specific to each cell, tissue, organ, etc.) are a combination of the signs of dysfunction, damage, and/OR…. the healing and repair process.

When you have an infection you might get a fever, swelling, redness, and pain, and then some other unique symptoms specific to where it is, indicating your immune system is fighting it and repairing the damage. Nobody likes a fever, but your innate intelligence knows that if you turn the heat up on pathogens they can’t survive very well—thus giving your immune system the advantage.

When you do direct damage to a tissue, have an infection, or degenerate, you might see swelling, redness, and have pain. Depending on where it is you may also have some other symptoms of dysfunction indicating your body is damaged AND is repairing the damage.

Either way, this is showing you how your body uses inflammation, NOT TO HARM YOU, but to HELP YOU.

Inflammation isn’t a bad thing.

What’s CAUSING the damage or degeneration, or the inability to fully regenerate, resulting in chronic inflammation is the bad thing. If you are unable to repair tissue, fight off infection, or regenerate you are going to have chronic inflammation. This results in chronic pain and symptoms.

“Inflammation is the immune system's response to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, toxic compounds, or irradiation [1], and acts by removing injurious stimuli and initiating the healing process [2]. Inflammation is therefore a defense mechanism that is vital to health [3]. Usually, during acute inflammatory responses, cellular and molecular events and interactions efficiently minimize impending injury or infection. This mitigation process contributes to restoration of tissue homeostasis and resolution of the acute inflammation.”

Doctors know this to be true. They know.

Inflammation isn’t just necessary, it’s VITAL.

Our current healthcare system, despite knowing this fact, focuses on trying to control, limit, reduce, or shut-off the inflammatory process, and/or control, limit, reduce, or shut-off pain signals (nerves) and symptoms—WHY?

They think that the body has lost the ability to control inflammation and thus the inflammation is now the culprit or contributing to the damage and dis-ease you experience. Well, unless your DNA changed, the last time I checked your immune system is responsible for healing you, recognizes what our own cells are, and the body innately knows how to self-regulate, self-adapt, self-heal, etc.

So will shutting off inflammation actually heal or fix anything?

Well…….?

The main difference between inflammation being a good thing or a bad thing, is whether or not healing gets accomplished. You could be missing the communication, missing materials and supplies, missing parts and tools, be unable to eliminate infectious processes, continued and repetitive traumas, and/or have an accumulation and continued exposure to toxins or metabolic waste etc.—and usually a combination of the above— resulting in repair/healing/regeneration not being accomplished.

When you are NOT healing, your dis-ease, your symptoms, and your pain will stay in the same spots, will be constant in their intensities, and become chronic because you will have a chronic and constant state of inflammation.

When you ARE truly healing, you will notice that your symptoms and pain will move, fluctuate in intensity, and lessen because the WBC’s (white blood cells) regulate and adjust the inflammatory process according to what is accomplished and the next set of tasks in healing.

A lot of people are not regenerating or fully healing and they have become accustomed to their pain. They are so used to living with it that they just accept it as their new normal, and adopt it as part of their identity.

When the brain-body communication returns to 100% then the CNS will resume full control over your avatar again, 100% accurate reports of damage and dysfunction are able to get through to the foreman, and 100% reciprocal and proper responses will be sent by the foreman to all the workers on precisely what to do.

As well, the CSF flow will fully return to normal which means the full and proper transfer of neuroendocrine hormones and neurotransmitters can occur, the full and proper clearing of metabolic waste/toxins out of the CNS can occur, and even the brain will begin to heal itself from all the damage it sustained— Dr. Scott Rosa (last article) mentioned in his video-interview that the neurodegenerative lesions seen on MRI imaging near the ventricles begin to disappear within days to months after correcting upper cervical misalignment.

Here is what true healing really looks like:

Fully restoring the neural canal leads to certain sensations in patients immediately following correction of UC misalignment:

1. When the CSF flow returns it is described as having a “cool water” “icy-hot” “fluid” sensation traveling up and down the spine, and into the head, presumably traveling to wherever CSF flows and all the places where it was previously shunted.

2. When the parasympathetic nervous system wakes up it is described as goosebumps, chills, feelings of temperature changes on different places on the body, and overwhelming relaxation/tiredness. Some people say their fingers and feet feel cold while their mid-line (head/face/chest/abdomen/pelvis) feels warm.

3. When any part of the peripheral (somatic) nervous system wakes up, just like when any limb that has “fallen asleep” before wakes up, it will experience “tingling” sensations.

4. When blood flow returns to any part of the body it is felt as an expanding and traveling “heat” sensation.

People routinely describe these sensations, many on the table immediately following the correction, and others later on during their appointment or later that day/week, each unique to the person’s specific condition .

People will have all kinds of interesting responses as their body and CNS connection is completely set free.

One thing that is the same across the board in all patients, upon sitting-up after the reestablishing the CNS communication, is a sensation of “disorientation”, “woozy”, “light-headed”, or being “dizzy”, etc. Your brain is receiving new sensory information and is formulating (in real time) new reciprocal motor responses to balance and orient the body with the reality constants, like: your vision, vestibular senses, gravity, and mechanoreceptor activity causing a change in how you perceive reality and respond to it. This response subsides within 30 seconds and the body stabilizes enough to be able to safely ambulate and balance.

With re-establishing this connection you will see system-wide healing processes begin. This means that any cell, tissue, organ, or organ system that was, in any way, unable to fully reach homeostasis, or was dysfunctional, degenerative, or dis-eased due to the loss of this communication and control, will now undergo a healing process— starting for most people within seconds, if not minutes.

While the control AND the healing start immediately, the healing won’t complete itself overnight, just like it didn’t take overnight for the state of the dis-eased condition to occur. And the healing STARTS with inflammation. With inflammation, you will experience “pain and symptoms”.

However, the reason you know these are healing symptoms is because they will fluctuate in their intensity—up and down. Remember, before, when you were unable to fully repair damaged or degenerated tissues, your body still made an attempt using “inflammation”, but since full healing never occurred you had a chronic and constant state of inflammation. This results in a chronic and constant state of pain and symptoms. With healing, you actually make consistent forward progress in the repair process and thus have fluctuating levels of inflammation. This results in a fluctuation of pain and symptoms. For most people the fluctuations happen an hour at a time—in and out—while moving around on the body. For others it can take up to 48 hours before improvement on the pain/symptoms in a certain location are felt. It is exceedingly rare and uncommon, but still possible, for these healing symptoms to last longer than 48 hours in the same state of intensity without a fluctuation. Therefore, the only way to truly tell if the symptoms are healing or injury based is to check the alignment at the feet. If the feet are in alignment, no movement on any UC stress tests, then ANY symptom (not otherwise attributed to a new a trauma) is considered healing and will later be proven to only be temporary. In other words, for some this process won’t be a big deal, and for others it will be a bumpier ride—each person’s experience will be unique to them and based on their specific condition and state of dis-ease process.

Because of this, these healing pains and symptoms have a name: “Retracing”.

It’s called retracing because once the neural tube compression occurs, each person’s subsequent catabolic breakdowns, ergonomics, traumas, degenerations, dis-eases, and infectious processes, etc. add up as they take a very specific winding road each day in their own lives. Once this is successfully performed on them, they will “retrace” back through every single one of those processes (at lightening speed) all the way back to the beginning— unwinding the exact same way they wound up in the first place.

With the ability to fully clear the UC spine, and documentation of thousands of real-life patients going through their own unique healing processes, one thing consistently seen is that the body heals and retraces in 9-week cycles—like clockwork. Think of it as approximately 2 months at a time.

For many people, starting on Day 1 and going through Weeks 1,2,3, the body begins to reorganize and recalibrate, as baseline physiology begins to improve, and the body comes out of chronic injury status. This can involve an inflammatory process. People report that they feel drastic changes in their condition.

At Week 3, the Immune System modulation will kick back in to gear, and some people will actually get sick (20%) as their immune system starts to attack latent infectious processes previously left unchecked.

At weeks 7, 8, 9 (end of month 2) the body is about to start the first true “retracing cycle” and all of the old pain and symptoms will come back (even though the patient is still in alignment). These symptoms will fluctuate and move again. While this can be unnerving, especially after feeling good for a few weeks, these symptoms will not be as severe as they ever were before, and they WILL noticeably fluctuate.

These retracing cycles will continue in weeks 16, 17, 18 (Retracing Cycle 2), weeks 25, 26, 27 (Retracing Cycle 3), and then a major retracing cycle will occur during weeks 34, 35, 36, 37 (Retracing Cycle 4).

At weeks 12-13 (3 months) of maintaining alignment, the UC spinal ligaments and soft tissues have likely majority healed, and stability only increases from here, thus making it more and more difficult to misalign. Despite seeing this stability in the patients consistently, most people will make some sort of suggestion that they believe they may have “come out of alignment” during each subsequent retracing cycle, and in particular in Retracing Cycle 4, but upon examination they will very likely be found to be in alignment. These retracing symptoms are temporary and they will disappear leaving the patient functioning and feeling better each time.

People have reported having additional traumas (moderate)—car accidents, falls, direct traumas, etc.— and STILL hold their alignments in as little as 2-3 months after UC correction and stability. IF they are in alignment people also find that they heal astonishingly faster from these traumas and will usually openly comment on how they noticed they weren’t as bad as they thought after the trauma, and that they were surprised at how quickly they recovered.

This is why in true healing you can not rely on how you “feel”, or any symptoms, to tell you whether or not you are healthy or healing. The true test of healing is examination of the function, not the symptoms, of the body. If the function is, and has, improved but the symptoms are there, they are healing symptoms. And when you are healing it is best to step out of the way and not intervene as much as possible because the body knows what it’s doing and our efforts to interfere in the physiological processes are only slowing it down (except in certain circumstances).

Each time a retracing cycle happens, the signs and symptoms of retracing become “less and less” (minus retracing cycle 4 where they pick up a bit) to the point where people will stop noticing they’re going through retracing after cycle 4. If they do notice, they don’t care because the symptoms are so negligible, and their function so much improved, that it does not prevent or interfere with anything in their lives. The cycles will continue on in the background, despite the lack of conscious awareness of it, for much longer. People will continue to rebuild, restore, regenerate, and heal until everything that can heal does heal.

It is estimated that for every year someone had this UC misalignment injury, that following correction they will experience one month of retracing/healing. Not to point out that it will take this long to feel good (everyone already feels REALLY GOOD early on as symptomatic relief comes first), but that even as satisfied with what they’ve accomplished in healing and how they feel, the body isn’t done yet and will take them further than they thought was possible.

The only thing we need to concern ourselves with, that can effect the rate of repair/rebuilding/regenerating, is:

Do we have adequate hydration?

Do we have enough quality materials and supplies?

Do we have enough quality parts and tools?

Do we have chronic infectious processes or flora imbalances?

Do we have a dirty site filled with metabolic waste, toxins, heavy metals, etc and need to clean it out?

Are we moving, using, and stressing (good stress) our body and its systems?

Each of these processes can impede the healing process, prevent building at the construction site, prevent and hinder operations, and it’s usually more than one.

If we restored 100% control to the CNS and then addressed the rest of the construction site, what’s standing in the way of you fully healing?

The next article will cover : “Quality Materials and Supplies” and will be VERY informative, insightful, and logical, with information that (I promise) you’ve never heard before but is true.

What you eat plays a significant role in your health, and it doesn’t have to be some complicated diet plan.

If you listen to mainstream healthcare workers, participate in diet fads, etc. you are probably (still) very confused on what it is you can eat, are supposed to eat, and how to be healthy. I can tell you for sure, based on assessing the health of the average person, that they don’t have a clue on what to do. It is NOT about what you “look like” so much as it is about how you “function”. If your focus is on providing the body EXACTLY what it needs, instead of eating for entertainment or vanity purposes, you will look the way you are supposed to and be very healthy.

Not only can you not manufacture matter out of thin air (you must eat, and calorie restrictive diets are the opposite of what you want to do), but the quality of the materials and supplies you provide your construction site to build with makes the world of difference. What to eat IS NOT complicated, in fact it’s quite easy. It all depends on what state of dis-ease you are in and what you’re trying to accomplish. Understanding what you’re attempting to do and where you are starting from dictates what and how you eat.

I don’t “cure disease”—this is NOT what we do.

What we do is we restore the communication, control, and function of the human body, then give it the opportunity by providing it everything it needs, and then let the body come out of dis-ease and heal itself. VOILA!

Self-adapting, self-regulating, self-organizing, self-healing machine.

Once it’s healed, I will then show you how to USE IT in ways you were not aware of.

From there it’s now a matter of Essential Nutrients, Detoxification, and Filter Cleaning!

EAT TO LIVE : WHAT YOU WERE DESIGNED TO EAT

Let’s follow the KISS (keep it simple stupid) application of this. Your human anatomy is designed and operates such that you are an omnivore—eating fruit, nuts, and animals. Unless you think God made a mistake in your design, or the design of this Earth, everything you need to heal and live is present on Earth today, now, and, outside of potential cooking right before consumption, it’s already in the best form you need for you to assimilate it for nutrient purposes. Every one of these foods you consume also contains many other symbiotic nutrients, nutrients designed to be in the presence of one another, and a set of DNA specific to that organism that grew it—as all food, including nuts and fruits, were once “alive” before we harvested them—they needed a set of instructions on how to exist and replicate. Your body recognizes that DNA as a food/nutrient and with all of the symbiotic nutrients can use it for the full benefit towards the regeneration and homeostasis of the body.

When going grocery shopping for food, people often struggle with what to eat because the stores are riddled with non-nutritious, refined, chemical ladened, crap-foods designed to be artificially flavor enhanced and full of carbohydrates (so you become addicted to the flavor and dopamine surge from sugar intake). It is the arrogance of humans, and the drive for profits, where they have sought to change the foods, genetically modify the DNA of the food, remove the inherent nutrients, and parcel things out to maximize profits, while filling them with toxic preservatives for increasing shelf-life, and flat out creating their own “food like substances”… whatever that means. These foods might taste good because they are filled with “artificial and natural flavors”, and they are NOT designed for you to eat to be healthy.

***You can have your opinions and like what you eat all you want but putting gasoline in a diesel truck simply doesn’t work no matter how many times you try. This isn’t opinion- it’s reality'; it’s the Design.

Here’s what you eat:

Organic Free-Range 100% grass-fed and grass-finished meats/fish: Most people don’t eat enough protein/meat by a lot, and it is the MOST IMPORTANT macronutrient you consume. It is used in rebuilding, repairing, operating, and regenerating ALL cells and tissues. A minimum of 1/3 of your daily food should come from meat sources of protein, and higher amounts can be consumed in place of lowering carbohydrate intake when treating dis-ease. (Protein and Carbohydrate calories per gram are the same—4.4 cal/g).

As a general rule of thumb: when there is (any) dis-ease (damage and dysfunction) of the human body there is going to be an increase in nutrient demand of protein. If you are short on building supplies, you can’t build. Consuming protein through non-meat sources will be wholly inadequate in volume of protein and amount of amino acids without overdoing the other macros creating an imbalance.

You are what you eat, and that includes the animals you eat and what they ate. Human intervention into mass commercialized farming has destroyed the quality of our food and meat sources.

In all cases, the animal should be grass-fed, grass-finished, never corn, never grain, and no chemicals/vaccines/drugs used on the animals—as unrefined, untouched, as God designed, as possible. Doing anything else can lead to dis-ease.

Seasonings/Flavor: Same as above without the peppers/pepper powder

GI DISEASE CAUTIONS:

• ***If the carbohydrate contains a shell/skin, cruciferous fiber, and insoluble fiber or otherwise “crunches” when you eat it, you must NOT eat it at this time because it is abrasive and will physically damage any intestinal wounds and increase intestinal permeability.

• ***If you are experiencing pancreatitis or pain or excessive bloating/gas after eating carbohydrates, you must NOT eat many carbohydrates or go to LOW FODMAP carbohydrates until the pain stops for over 2 weeks. WHY? Because we need your body to be given a chance to HEAL. If you stop feeling pain for 2 weeks then restart Carb intake slowly. If the pain begins again, you must stop the carb intake and wait longer until after the pain stops. (Iodine helps to kill off infectious processes and dysbiosis leading to pain eating carbohydrates)

• ***If you are experiencing GI OR COLON bleeding/Blood in your bowel movements, pancreatitis, and/or gallbladder/liver/intestinal pain after eating fats, you MUST NOT eat fats until the bleeding/pain stops for 2 weeks. WHY? Because the fats are acids, and they will erode your stomach lining and increase your bleeding thus not allowing it to heal.

• For the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas disease patients: we need your body to HEAL so they must be given a break and allowed to heal. If you stop bleeding/having pain and then start fat intake, do so slowly, 10g per day and increase by 5g per day until you reach your allotted fat content for the day which should be 30% of your caloric intake. If the bleeding/pain begins again, you must stop the fat intake and wait longer (4 weeks, if not then 6 weeks, if not then 8 weeks and so forth) until and after the bleeding/pain stops.

• It will take AT LEAST 1 year, if not 2 years, to heal a GI tract, WITH the this process.

• BE PATIENT. BE CONSISTENT. DON’T CHEAT. DON’T QUIT.

• It WILL come with symptoms, hiccups, and bumps along the way.

• The GI tract is VERY DIFFICULT to heal because you can’t not eat therefore there is always going to be “2 steps forward–1 step backward” as you move upwards in your healing.

• As you “retrace” through the healing process you WILL experience GI symptoms again and again despite long stretches of feeling good.

• Do NOT think for one second you are done when you have a 6 week period of little-to-no symptoms.

• IN THE END, you will heal your GI Tract. The point being that you are not doing this so you can go back to eating trash foods because that is what got you there in the first place.

DO NOT EAT THESE VERY POOR QUALITY MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES:

1. Fast Food, Restaurant Food, and Corporate Food (MAKE YOUR OWN FOOD)

2. Flour, grains, bread, gluten, pastries, bagels, pastas, rye, barley, or wheat or anything made from those things, etc

3. Soy, tofu, soy lecithin, soy milk, soy sauce, edamame, etc. NO SOY

4. Corn, corn fiber, corn meal, corn flour, corn chips, corn of ANY KIND or any alcohol made from corn

5. Legumes, beans, and peas. Peanuts are technically legumes, not nuts/seeds.

6. Any refined oils or vegetable oils such as canola oil, crisco oil, soybean oil, trans fats, and seed oils that are not fruit seed oils.

7. Refined or processed sugar, sodas, candy, energy drinks, etc

8. Artificial synthetic sweeteners—xylitol, erythritol, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sucralose/splenda, stevia, neotame, saccharin or diet anything, (monk fruit extract grown in Asia is acceptable)

9. Artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, and artificial colors

10. Refined and nutritionless foods like “fast foods” and “packaged foods”

11. Lettuce, kale, spinach, or any leafy vegetable, or green plant or grass.

12. Shellfish of any kind

13. GMO anything, or anything that ate GMO

14. Glyphosate, Atrazine, Pesticide, and/or other chemically laden foods

The (evil) corporate food industry (knowingly) puts these substances in virtually EVERY food they serve and sell, and they cause dis-ease, degeneration, and oxidative stress. It takes intention to avoid these items but you will be readily surprised how healthy you become if you follow this way of eating. They know these foods are awful, and without all the artificial and synthetic flavors/sweeteners you would know they were awful. But they have everyone addicted to the intense flavors and eating for pleasure/entertainment instead of health.

Don’t shoot the messenger— I am just telling you the truth—how it is.

Whole foods are the best way to go, but if you must eat things packaged then

Iodine: The Super Mineral

Introduction

For the purpose of this article, every time the word ‘iodine’ is used it is in reference to the elemental form I2 in its oxidation state, and ‘iodide’ is used in reference to Iodine salts (iodine atom bound to a different atom(s)). The most common iodine salt (iodide) is potassium iodide KI. For the purpose of this specific protocol I will ONLY suggest you use ‘Iosol Formula II’ which contains Iodine (I2) and Ammonium Iodide (NH4I), NOT Potassium Iodide, Lugol’s or Iodoral, or any other form of Iodine/Iodide, despite those forms/brands being referenced/used on other sites in their protocols, to avoid drug interactions and electrolyte imbalances.

Doctors have been using iodine for 200 years to treat a number of illnesses. Iodine contains potent antibacterial, antiparasitic, antifungal, anti-candida, antiviral, and anticancer properties.

It has been known for over 100 years that iodine is an element that is necessary for thyroid hormone production. It is also used by the breasts, ovaries, prostate, and ALL other glands. Every cell, tissue, organ, and organ system in the body uses iodine.

In 1948, there was a study (Wolff-Chaikoff) that erroneously (intentionally?) concluded that too much iodine was harmful to the thyroid. Reality was actually 180 degrees in the opposite.

The Western “Science” and “Healthcare”’s WAR on the most sacred ESSENTIAL mineral we need:

“Shortly after the Axis Powers capitulated and World War II came to an end, UC Berkeley dropped a bombshell in 1948, which became known as the Wolff-Chaikoff (W-C) effect. Where the swords of many nations failed, the pen of two men succeeded. The pen is mightier than the sword indeed. The most effective way to destroy a nation is to remove iodine from the food supply. The W-C effect resulted in the removal of iodine from the food supply and most likely caused more misery and death in the US than both world wars combined due to its negative impact on iodine consumption by the US population and on the use of inorganic, non-radioactive iodine in medical practice. “If you can’t beat them, join them, and destroy them from within.” The W-C effect is supposedly the inhibitory effect of peripheral inorganic iodide (PII) levels equal to or greater than 0.2 mg/L (10-6M) on the organification of iodide by the thyroid gland of rats, resulting supposedly in hypothyroidism and goiter.

US physicians swallowed the W-C forgery uncritically, which resulted in a moratorium on the clinical use of inorganic, non-radioactive iodine in effective amounts. However, this moratorium did not include toxic organic iodine-containing drugs and radioiodine-131. The iodophobic mentality prevented further research on the essential nutritional requirement for inorganic, non-radioactive iodine by the entire human body, which turns out to be 100-400 times daily the very recently established RDA. Prior to World War II and the W-C publication, US physicians used molecular iodine solution safely, effectively and extensively in both hypo and hyperthyroidism.”

Here is the actual Wolff-Chaikoff study performed out of the University of California Berkeley Medical School:

Right on the first page: “Long-Evans rats weighing 175 to 225 gm, were used throughout. They were injected intraperitoneally with various amounts of iodine in the form of KI (potassium iodide) labeled with I-131”

I-131 is otherwise known as radioactive Iodine - which just so happens to have been also “discovered” by the University of California Berkeley Medical School:

They go on further to state: “In no case was the dose of radioactivity great enough to produce deleterious effects on the gland during the intervals studied. Blood was removed from the heart while the rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (20 mg. per rat).”

Can someone point out to me what the “safe” amount of radioactive material is inside the body?
If the thyroid has an affinity for iodine, seeing as T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine/tetraiodothyronine) are made in the thyroid ONLY in the presence of Iodine, and that the thyroid has the potential to store and concentrate iodine in the thyroid, what would putting radioactive iodine into the body do to the thyroid? Cause it damage?

(Good thing we also use radioactive iodine for all our advanced imaging and PET scans to detect cancer, eh?)

Further, your body has an astounding ability to dictate how much of any nutrient it needs and regulates it through homeostatic negative-feedback loops. This works to have precision control over the physiological production of hormones and essential nutrient mineral levels in the body/serum/blood/tissues–it’s written on your DNA–without even thinking about it.

Nevertheless, they also completely misrepresented their study and the findings, suggesting that only very small amounts (micrograms) of iodine were necessary and that taking in more would have a deleterious effect on the thyroid/thyroid hormone production. Thus the W-C effect was extrapolated to humans and subsequently the medical, food, pharmaceutical industries went on to completely remove iodine from the treatment/diet/food/therapy outside of the miniscule form of iodized salt which wasn’t even enough to run the nasal defense mucosal system yet alone be sufficient to every other cell in the body that requires it.

As a tragic result, iodine was removed from many products starting in the 1970’s. (Dairy, flour, baked goods, bread and others) Iodine was left in salt in amounts just enough to help prevent goiter and cretinism. Iodized salt has been now shown to be wholly inadequate for nutritionally supplying what the human body needs.

The government set an RDA of 150 micrograms (mcg). This was determined to prevent goiter and cretinism. And yet, at least 100x that amount is needed to gain any anti-cancer properties. (15 mg daily). This has led to an explosion in breast and prostate cancers since then (where was it before?). The average Japanese citizen consumes over 13 mg per day. Japanese citizens have the lowest rates of glandular cancers (adenocarcinomas) in the world. This is due to their diet of seaweed, kelp, and shellfish which are all high in iodine. Westerners, in contrast, do not eat anywhere near the amounts of these seafoods the Japanese do. Finally, to prove this point, Japanese who immigrated to the US were studied and found to have similar glandular cancer rates to all other US Citizens.

This proves it’s not genetics.

It’s Iodine, an essential (absolutely necessary) nutrient to human vitality and function.

Don’t believe that statement? Go look at your non-iodized salt in your pantry. It says it right on the container as a disclaimer and a warning: “this product does not contain iodine, a necessary essential nutrient.”

Iodine is an Essential SUPER Mineral (absolutely necessary)

Functions of Iodine:

1. The primary use of iodine in the human body is the thyroid gland, where it uses iodine to make T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine/tetraiodothyronine).

   1. These hormones, both directly and through their impact on other hormonal systems within the body, affect every cell and organ in the body to control metabolic rate, heart rate, body temperature, brain development, muscle contraction, and skin and bone maintenance.

2. Iodine is also essential to the function of, protection of, and accumulated in:

   1. Ovaries-regulating estrogen/progesterone function

   2. Prostate-regulate the function of health of prostate and seminal fluid production

   3. Mammary glands-required for function and production of breast milk, as well as health of breast cells/tissue

   4. Endometrium-maintaining function and health of endometrium

   5. Uterus-maintaining healthy pregnancy and hormone production through uterus

   6. Testicles-testosterone production and sperm health

   7. Cerebrospinal fluid-immune function and protection of CNS

   8. Central nervous system-regulation of myelin sheaths, neurotransmitter (dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine) production/balance/regulation, immune function of the CNS, cognitive ability, memory (short and long term), and neuroplasticity (nerve growth)

   9. Pituitary gland-regulation of neuroendocrine (hormone) system

   10. Eyes-macula and retina health

   11. Salivary glands-oral mucosa and teeth/gum health, and prevention of disease and infectious processes

   12. Liver-liver function, detoxification, and protection from viral/fungal/parasitic/bacterial infections

   13. Entire GI tract-GI function, and protection from viral/fungal/parasitic/bacterial infections

   14. Sweat glands/Skin- health of skin cells, and protective barrier to UV radiation, melanocyte function, and prevention of pathogenic infectious processes of bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses

   15. Immune System- helps with WBC/RBC production, T-cell function, and P53 apoptosis that prevents damaged DNA cells/dysfunctional cells from replicating (ie cancer and all viruses)

   16. Reproduction: essential during pregnancy for the natural growth and development of an embryo/fetus/baby

   17. Antiseptic: THE strongest antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antiparasitic, antitumoral properties on the planet

Unfortunately, other than the thyroid, a proper scientific study to determine the correct amount of iodine for all the body has not been determined (because the “powers that be” over health and research are not interested in cheaper/unpatentable treatments/therapies).

However, numerous studies on various cancers and other illnesses have shown that iodine deficiency is directly correlated. It is for these health benefits that the iodine supplementation protocol is presented here, however it should be just one part of an overall, individualistic, holistic health plan.

Iodine is REQUIRED for running P53/P21/P16 pathways.

P53 activation in response to DNA damage leads to cell growth arrest, allowing for DNA repair, or directs cellular senescence or apoptosis (programmed cell death), thereby maintaining genome/DNA integrity. Senescence is a permanent cell-cycle arrest that has a crucial role in aging, and it also represents a robust physiological antitumor response, which counteracts tumor causing insults. This process is seen in how the body deals with:

1. Cancer

2. Neurodegenerative Disease

3. Adaptive “Autoimmune” conditions

4. Metabolic disorders

5. COPD/Lung disease

6. Viral infections

7. Radiation

8. Oxidative Damage

61. Cancer, especially brain, stomach, intestinal, reproductive organ, blood, thyroid, and liver

There is a thing called a “Hot Nodule” on a person’s thyroid. It’s very rare, but it’s like a piece of the thyroid that acts independently of the entire thyroid. It’s totally unregulated by any of the normal checks and balances the body puts on the thyroid. Introducing iodine to a person with a hot nodule can cause major side effects if not done slowly and appropriately. The only real way to diagnose a hot nodule is with medical imaging.

Commercially Available Forms of Iodine

1. Sodium Iodide (NaI) Iodized Salt

2. Lugol’s Potassium Iodide (KI)

3. Iodoral (pill) Potassium Iodide (KI)

4. Nascent Iodine Elemental (I-) (elemental iodine)

   1. 1 atom of Iodine

5. Iosol Formula II Iodine + Ammonium Iodide (molecular iodine) (I2 + NH4-I)

   1. 2 atoms of iodine, and 1 atom of free iodine after ingestion

The absorption of iodine/iodide is mostly in the small intestine and not the stomach.

• Sodium/and or potassium iodine

  • Most iodine products on the market today are either sodium and/or potassium iodine. Sodium and/or potassium iodine binds anatomically stronger than with any other element, therefore, the process of digesting and assimilating this combination is very difficult, which can lead to toxic reactions especially after high doses.

  • In many cases, products that claim kelp, sea dulse, potassium and/or sodium iodine, contain little of the actual mineral. In fact, the iodine potency is so low it is undetectable in a laboratory test.

  • Potassium iodide has also caused some side effect issues and some drug interactions. Potassium is a critical element in cardiac performance. Too much isn’t necessarily a good thing. If you go to drugs.com you can see a list of interactions.

• Ammonium iodide and iodine

  • The portion in IOSOL that is iodine, 43% is ammonium iodide and iodine, 57% is “free iodine.” By the time the IOSOL enters the stomach, the ammonium separates from the iodide and the remainder becomes 100% “free iodine” which raises the metabolism and restores the electrical balance of the body.

  • Ammonium iodide is immediately cleaved in the presence of hydrochloric acid in your stomach leaving nothing but free iodine and the base of all amino acids (proteins) known as ammonium which is readily excreted through the urine without toxicity or side effects. To date there are no known adverse reactions to ammonium iodide or molecular iodine.

  • The newer version of this mixture of iodide and iodine (one electron difference) is available called IOSOL Formula II. It replaces the potassium iodide with ammonium iodide.

DETOXIFICATION

Iodine is a POWERFUL Detoxifying agent

Iodine will force the detoxification of the body of all heavy metals, toxic halogens, pathogens, biofilms, viruses, and DNA damaged cells. This happens at a dose dependent rate, and along the progression of intake of Iosol Formula II you will “tip the scales” of detox multiple times based upon the molecular weight of Iodine present in the blood. At different doses of iodine there will be different detoxes that are possible and occur.

Not all detoxes occur at the same dose/level of iodine for everyone, and is based upon many factors of each individual including: the amount of toxins present in the cells and tissue, the amount of different types of toxins present, the state of disease present, and the rate at which the body decides to also use iodine nutritionally (not used for detox).

This detox is important because during those same 1970’s when Iodine was being removed from our lives, other (toxic) halogens were (coincidentally) increasing in our consumer products, foods, and cleaners.

We’ve had to deal with fluorine in our water supply all our lives. It’s also in the majority of our toothpastes. The dentist office offers a fluoride treatment when you get your teeth cleaned despite there being 0% nutritional value to fluorine in the body. Sure it will help with cavities but it will also cause fluorosis of your teeth. Then further it will calcify your pineal gland.

We have seen huge increases in brominated products in our lives. It has been added to baking products, brominated vegetable oils (BVO), pesticides, insecticides, a LOT of medicines, upholstery, automobile interiors, household products, etc. With chlorine, we get toxic perchlorates introduced into our bodies via city/tap water, various cleaning products, and swimming pools.

So what?

Well, these are known carcinogens, neurotoxins, and hormone disruptors. The other toxic halogens also attach to the iodine receptor sites in our bodies–Bromine especially as it’s close to the molecular weight of iodine. Our bodies are flooded with these other halogens effectively blocking what little iodine we are getting already.

When we start adding Iodine back into our bodies, it WILL displace these toxic substances for detoxification purposes. Iodine is NOT toxic like the other halogens, and is an essential nutrient that the body will use to your immense benefit.

An incomplete list of toxins in your body that iodine supplementation can displace/cause issues: all other toxic halogens, all other heavy metals including arsenic, lead, mercury, the radioactive form of I-131, virtually any poison, pathogenic die-off toxins, and viral/cancer apoptosis.

When the body begins this process these toxins will come out every exit they can: through your eyes, nose, back of your throat, GI tract, urine, sweat glands/skin, and mucous membranes. The liver/kidneys/lymphatic system/lungs will play a huge role in this process.

Partial List of common and normal signs of detox otherwise known as Herxheimer Reactions:

PAY ATTENTION: THESE WILL HAPPEN TO YOU (not all at once or even all of them at all) and they are NOT to cause concern or worry:

• Itchy skin/mild rash

• Acne

• Headache

• Brain fog

• Lethargy

• Insomnia

• Red and itchy eyes

• Runny nose

• Burning or Sore throat

• Metallic taste in mouth

• Dry mouth/Increased salivation

• GI bloating / ache / cramps / burning sensations

• Acid Reflux

• Nausea

• Constipation / Loose stools / diarrhea

• Increased urination

• Chills/Heat waves

• Body aches

• Increased dream intensity

• Minor bouts of anxiety and depression

• Cherry angiomas (temporary)

• Slightly elevated heart rate
  

Partial List of Signs of detoxing too fast (severe detox)

• Excessive Diarrhea for more than 1 day

• Hyperventilation

• Racing heart rate (above 140 bpm)

• Extreme lethargy-can’t get out of bed

• Any fever above 100F

• Tremors

• Delusions

• Confusion

• Pain under the right side of the ribcage (liver)

• Large Rash/Large skin reaction/Hives

• Severe anxiety/depression

• Dark thoughts/dreams

• Panic Attacks

• Heart Palpitations
  

In case of Severe Detox the toxins are coming out too fast. You need to pause iodine intake, increase antioxidants, salt, and distilled water intake, and wait for recovery. Once you recover you pick back up where you left off with iodine.

Note: none of these detox symptoms are due to the iodine itself as it is an essential nutrient that YOU CAN NOT BE ALLERGIC TO, rather to the rate in which toxins are coming out of your cells and into your bloodstream as they’re displaced and chelated by iodine. Further, specific detox symptoms will not continue at higher doses of Iodine once fully detoxed proving it was not caused by the iodine itself. Most of the Detox can be mitigated by slowing (yet still increasing) the rate of daily intake of iodine, pausing as necessary to recover and then continuing to increase the dose.

Various sources responsible for initial exposure to chemicals might be latent inside the glands, organs and other locations in the body, from environmental factors, medicines or foods. All toxins are naturally removed from the body, through the liver, and for a majority by simple urinary excretion via the kidneys. The rate of removal depends on the chemical, its distribution within the body, ingestion of added chemicals, and displacement. Further, adequate function of the waste system organs is essential to the detox process.

From this point, the supplementation of iodine as an essential nutrient does displace these chemicals into the bloodstream for expulsion, however, if excessive amounts are displaced at once they can overwhelm the removal capacity leading to the toxic symptoms listed above.

Two components reducing these symptoms are to slowly and patiently pace adding iodine, and reduce/stop adding new chemical toxins into your body.

• Common sources for bromides: baked goods/flour (potassium bromate), some colas/energy drinks/sports drinks (brominated vegetable oil), all fire retardant materials, some antidepressants, and some inhalers.

• Common sources for fluoride are fluoridated drinking water, certain foods (fish and tea leaves), and dental products.

• Common sources of arsenic and lead are from bioaccumulation in foods.

• Common sources of mercury are from dental amalgams.

Once you are fully detoxed, if you can keep a high amount of iodine in the blood it will act as a shield, a barrier of protection, to prevent these toxins from taking up space inside your cells and tissues.

A key component of your health is your awareness, assuming personal responsibility for your behaviors and choices towards good nutrition. As such you need to do research so you can make informed decisions about how to live your best life possible. You are encouraged to use these as the initial search for a much wider and encompassing research to develop your own health wisdom. “Only (you) can prevent forest fires”. - Smokey Bear

It is important for you to assume responsibility for your individual health. This responsibility means that (you) need to do research and be cognizant of all the data regarding not just the facts presented here, but the foundational research and knowledge, as well as your own personal environmental and lifestyle circumstances. Knowing what other illnesses, medications, supplements and other issues you have/use and are present is imperative to investigate, know, and mitigate adverse reactions.

THE LIVER

LIVER/GALLBLADDER/KIDNEY CLEANSE INTRO

Without an effective waste removal and detox system controlled by your vagus nerve in your brainstem, and assisted with essential nutrients, your body may become overwhelmed with toxins causing disease. Your liver/gallbladder and kidneys serve as essential organs to the health of the human body when it comes to waste removal, but even further, liver function is required for every cell and tissue in the body to be healthy.

Obstructive intrahepatic cholesterol biliary stones produced and stored by too many toxins over time, inadequate vagus nerve control over the liver due to direct compression at the brainstem, fatty liver disease, and decreased serum magnesium can significantly reduce the liver’s function resulting in a disruption of ‘homeostasis’, leading to dis-ease of every single one of the body’s cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.

This is akin to having a clogged oil filter and the resulting dysfunction and poor performance of the engine. If there is a dis-ease/disease process anywhere, you can link it back (in part or in full) to: CNS control, neuroendocrine dysfunction, nutrient deficiency, toxicity, oxidative stress, hormone imbalances, and infectious toxicity, and all of that can be linked back to liver dysfunction.

NORMAL LIVER FUNCTIONS:

1. Metabolize, manufacture, process, build, and break down: carbohydrates, fats/lipids, amino acids, protein molecules, vitamins, nutrients, enzymes, cholesterol, excess hormones, and all of the structural components and transporters etc necessary to rebuild and operate the billions of simultaneous chemical reactions taking place in trillions of cells in our body every day.

Your liver is a very special organ, however. Even after surgically removing up to 90% of the liver, it can grow back. The liver has a special regenerative property in this sense and is a built in necessity to the health of the entire body. If it gets backed up, everything gets backed up—including waste removal. Imagine never flushing the toilet, how fast that would become a problem. This is happening inside the human body as a product of our lifestyles, and it is affecting every cell and tissue. But, by properly cleaning out your liver through this specific protocol you can expedite the liver’s functions and let it heal entirely, thus expediting the healing and function of all cells and tissues. With this protocol we are going to clean out your filters by destroying and removing the cholesterol bound intrahepatic biliary stones and scheduled fasting, as well as flush the kidneys–safely, directly, and carefully.

This protocol is an improved version of the Andreas Moritz Flush by replacing the apple juice/malic acid intake with an herb with 10x the power and doesn’t affect the type 2 diabetics and cancer patients who can’t afford the increase in sugar intake. The protocol also sources from better and organic ingredients than what are recommended and has even expanded to create a “mini cleanse” version of this that some people prefer over the shotgun approach.

It is my professional recommendation that this protocol, while entirely safe if performed correctly, be directed specifically at each person based upon their present state of condition and not be taken as a broad brush generalized protocol. For those interested in performing these protocols please become a paid subscriber, submit your driver’s license and a selfie that matches, and send an email to us requesting an intake form for professional paid consultation on health history and what to do specific to you.

What if “cures” already exist?

By completing these processes, without attempting to stop or thwart the body’s functions, rather turning them on and assisting them, the body is quite capable of fully healing itself, regardless of condition.

Proof is in the pudding.
