Ultimate Health & Healing Tips

ULTIMATE HEALTH & HEALING TIPS
Happy Monday everyone!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Despite the rain, yesterday turned out to be a pretty beautiful day!  Today and next Monday will be my last days in my SF office, so if you are in the area, please let know to get you in before I’m gone!

I had the privilege of attending an intensive nutritional course this weekend from one of my mentors who is brilliant.  I posted a short video about it afterwards on my facebook page, so if you haven’t followed please do!  I share lots of information daily on there.  https://www.facebook.com/drrachelhamel/

I’m sure I will be posting more topics about the things that I’ve learned periodically, but I just wanted to give some tips and big points/facts that I soaked up this weekend.  It’s important to note, a lot of these facts have TONS of research backing them, and if you want more information on any topic as always please let me know!

TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK

According to a recent article published by the Harvard School of Public Health, PROPERLY prescribed drugs cause:

  • 2 million hospitalizations per year
  • 128,000 deaths per year

This makes RX drugs the 4th leading cause of death!

What is the number of reported deaths from vitamins, supplements, and essential oils per year?

ZERO

This is a funny yet frustrating point to me when I get patients paranoid about taking certain herbs, because they “heard” that is causes this or that.  Yes, you need training in botanicals, but looking at the big picture here, supplementation (whole food not synthetic) is so safe.

Did you know that when you overdose on Tylenol, a hospital will actually give you a supplement to clear it out?  N-acetyl cysteine.

The average number of prescribed RX’s in the U.S in 2006, was 12 per person, in the elderly it’s OVER 30!

$5.2 billion was the amount the drug industry spent in 2015 for direct to consumer marketing.  We all know how much superbowl ads are right?  Well this is more than all Super Bowl commercials in the last 51 years COMBINED!  We are all bombarded with these ads.

Drug Research is also TAINTED.
61% of drug studies in general reported results favorable to a new treatment.  For studies supported by pharmaceutical companies the number soared to 89%.  In other words, when the drug company is paying, 9 times out of 10 scientists find something positive to say, or nothing at all.

This is immensely true of the vaccine industry as well, who is backed by big pharma.

Did you know that a study by RAND which was one of the highest on the research hierarchy showed that flu shots were outperformed by vitamin d?! Actually flu shots proved to be no more effective than the placebo.  And you all know my views on flu shots and vaccines.  The risks are just too high with too much tainted research, and deadly chemicals.

These are top health scams that are centered on PROFIT not HEALTH: (In my opinion)

1. Infant Vaccines ( Not all vaccines)
2. Flu Shots
3. Cholesterol lowering drugs
4. Bone density drugs
5. Chemotherapy
6. Fluoride – DO not get fluorinated toothpaste, its a known toxin.
7. GMO Foods (Classified as a Class 2 CARCINOGEN.  This means potential to cause cancer)

Alzheimers Disease and memory problems continues to be on the rise.  One in three seniors dies with dementia. And by 20 years 1 in 4 people over the age of 50 will have some sort of AD. But why?

Half of the brain weight is in glial cells (immune system of the brain)
These glial cells get easily damaged from low cell oxygen, diet and toxins.  Our brain requires 25% of the oxygen in our WHOLE body!  (This is why its important to get cranial care after head injuries to make sure the oxygen supply isn’t shut off)

A good test to see if your brain is getting enough oxygen is to squeeze your fingertip until it blanches, and release quickly.  Immediate color should happen within 1 second. Also multiple toenail fungus is a sign as well.  This means that their is stagnation in the blood.

Basically, these glial cells are sensitive to INFLAMMATION in the brain.  When these die, we lose our brain endurance.  Yet AD drugs are proved to be no more helpful than a placebo!

The highest risk foods for inflammation in AD? GLUTEN and SUGAR.  They are actually labeling it now as Type 3 Diabetes, because of so much sugar found in the brain.  So the key here is to decrease brain inflammation.

I have a whole protocol, as for many of these conditions listed to help decreased the inflammation.  But one huge one is to cut out flour products.  Gluten reactions occur mostly in the BRAIN not in the gut..

Another huge brain inflammatory?  EMF.  According to the World Health Organization, radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer.  It now lists mobile phone use in the same “cacinogenic hazard” categorgy as lead, engine exhuast and chloroform!

This is huge.  Thats why I recommend never carrying a cell phone on your body.  Texting is usually better, than the phone up to your ear.  Bluetooth is also not great radiation wise.  Wired headphones is best. But limiting your exposure as much as possible.  Not using it before bed, and turning it to airplane mode when you sleep to not disrupt your sleep and brain function.
A company called Hedron carries a line of protectors you can put on your phone, laptops and even homes to help protect against EMF.  It’s not perfect, so you still need to limit useage, but it still helps!

Speaking of sleep, in your brain called the glymphatic system which is the immune system of your brain, works mostly during deep sleep.  Our brain removes 3 pounds of toxins per year!!!!
This is why getting adequate deep sleep is SO important.  Need help with your sleep?  I can help. * Side note, any foam mattress is loaded with chemicals.  Try to get an organic mattress and sheets. We spend like half of our life sleeping so it’s important to make sure we get good sleep!

According to the National Heart, Blood and Lung institute, 50% of all heart attack victims had normal cholesterol.  So how well does cholesterol access cardiovascular risk?  It doesn’t! And for those of you that read my fat newsletter you know cholesterol isn’t bad anyways.  In fact Statins, increase kidney failure by 40%!.  They also decrease CoQ10 in our body which increases our risk for cancer and neuropathies.
In the office we can do an extensive panel for CV health through blood work to actually see what is causing the cardiovascular issues.  If your Omega 3 levels are within normal limits it decreases your cardiovascular risk by 90%!
So much research is now stating that heart attacks are due to a vasospasm between the sympathetic and parasympthetic nervous system.
Other huge factors?

  • systemic inflammation
  • genetics
  • chronic, low level infections
  • STRESS
  • sticky blood
  • insulin resistance
  • quality of fats eaten
  • free radical damage
  • nitric oxide production
  • Birth control (which is a KNOWN carcinogenic)

A HUGE Take away point of this seminar is that ultimately we live in a hugely toxic world.  And we need to be continually detoxing ourselves.  It is a lifestyle change.  That is why when individuals get cancer, and then go back to doing what they were doing, or not even addressing why they had cancer in the first place, it comes back.  It’s a lifestyle!  Most people are looking for a magic treatment or magic pill once they get cancer or a condition, but it really is a lifestyle change. And for a lot of us our buckets are overflowing.

Overflowing from toxins, trauma and infections.

Toxins are HUGE.  That is why I always emphasize organic non GMO foods, beauty products and air smellies.  Each day billions of pounds of toxic chemicals are produced or imported in the US for commercial use.  Don’t think for a minute these don’t make it into our tissues.  THEY ALL DO.
Automimmunity is 1 in 3 people now.

89% of the 10,500 ingredients in personal care products are not screened for safety by the FDA or anyone else!  Talc for example found in johnson and johnson baby powder is closely related to the potent carcinogen asbestos! And we are lathering it on our children, while injecting mercury into their blood.  It’s no wonder kids are sicker and sicker.  The projected outcome for autism is 1 in 2 kids by 2020!  This is NOT acceptable.  Try essential oils and organic products for beauty.  Our skin is our biggest organ.

A lot of things are BPA free now which is great, but their are also BPT and BPC that aren’t taken out.  So use glass as much as possible.  A huge problem with plastics is that a study was done on rats in which the scientists injected rats with BPA and they became fat.  When they did a “detox” and got the BPA out, they went skinny again.  They did this over and over.  And the rats that were fat, also had fat offspring.  Which means you can transfer it through pregnancy.  This is a huge problem for our pregnant moms is they can pass that BPA toxicity into their children.  And so many kids toys, bottles, pacifiers are all plastic.

GMO, and glycophosphate which is a chemical found in roundup and an carcinogen is now found in 85% of our rainfall, and 90% in breastmilk.  It also creates a “leaky gut”.  We all have it in our bodies now at this point.  So it’s HUGE to detox and make it a lifestyle, and only eat organic and non GMO foods from your local farmers markets, or grow your own!  For you coffee lovers, most commercial, sun grown coffee fields require over 250 pounds of chemical fertilizers per acre!  GO ORGANIC!

Clean water is also important.  I have a list of great filters you can use in your homes.
*Tuna is also one of the highest meats with mercury.  So avoid is possible.

The instructor also believes that most every condition stems from a chronic hidden viral infection.  Doing the infection protocol I do, and knowing that so many have hidden epstein barr virus, I would say that I agree.

There was sooooo much more, these are just a little info that I had time to put together.  This is not to scare you, but our healthcare system is a sick system, and people are LOOKING for answers to get to the root causes.  That is why I am here, to educate and to help you see the true light in a lot of these things.  The best you can do is limit your exposure and talk to me about how to properly detox your body and maintain it!
Remember, drugs only mask symptoms NOT causes. I now have more tools to be able to properly detox these things, even out of the brain!

If anyone is interested in doing a group detox, please let me know!  As I usually do about two per year.
