DETOX GENE MUTATIONS and COMPROMISED DETOX PATHWAYS: How to Compensate for Compromised Detoxification to Become Symptom Free

Every January many people are eager to start some type of detoxification regime in the hopes of improving their health. It took me years of poor health after off gassing of new homes and suffering from MCS, EI, TILT, CF, IB, depression and more, before I was able to successfully detoxify my body burden and become symptom free, healthy and energetic. During the early years of my poor health I tried every detox remedy recommended by multiple natural health practitioners and natural health stores. These did nothing to resolve my poor health and chronic symptoms. It wasn’t until I learned more about the body’s detox pathways that I understood that mine were somehow compromised and I had to find other solutions. That is how ‘necessity became the mother of my invention’, botanical spa therapy herbal detox baths. After extensive experimenting on myself and later recommending my method to many clients over the years, this method has been a success, resulting in symptom free living and good health for not only me but also my clients.

The question of ‘why’ has now been answered for me in a scientific way and I think it will provide insights to the additional 40% of the population that may also have compromised detox pathways, either due to the MTHFR gene mutation or other detox pathway challenges. Regular detox strategies, which are readily available everywhere, may not provide you with the results you desire. Read on to better understand your body’s detox challenges. http://mybodycanhealitself.ca/wordpress/detox-gene-mutations-and-compromised-detox-pathways-how-to-compensate-for-compromised-detoxification-to-become-symptom-free/

Taming Food, Pollen and Drug Reactions using Laser Pen Acupressure Point Stimulation

My past allergy/reaction history has been intense. I am now 100% food allergy free and feel safe and comfortable in all of my environments without fear of reacting.

My immune and nervous system crashed many years ago after moving into a new home and suffering from toxicant induced loss of tolerance (TILT) due to the off gassing. My resulting inability to tolerate any chemicals and over 80 foods (revealed from blood food allergy testing) resulted in years of challenging physical and mental symptoms. My quest for recovery led me to many holistic strategies, since the regular medical system had no solutions for me. I have been 100% food allergy free for many years due to the successful NAET energy (neutralizing) treatments that I received. My ongoing sensitivities to all chemicals, multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) took longer to eliminate, however I was able to eventually feel safe and comfortable in all of my environments with an informed sense of vigilance for safety.

My inability to tolerate drugs without adverse reactions dated back to my teenage years due to multiple procedures requiring local anesthesia, anesthesia and pain management. This ongoing challenge felt like a hopeless situation, especially if I ever ended up in a case where I need a drug (e.g. injection, hospitalization). The big question, which I was routinely asked when filling out medical forms, ‘are you allergic to drugs’, left me with more questions than answers, since I seemed to react to multiple drugs. Was it a specific ingredient? Was it a carrier or preservative?

My recent broken tooth, resulting in a large chunk of molar breaking off, left me in a very vulnerable situation as my last previous dental visit, where local anesthesia was required, left me with a four day paralysis of the right side of my head, brain, face, throat and shoulder. It was an extremely frightening experience, especially on swallowing. I have had residual general paresis (nerve weakness/vulnerability) on my right side since that day especially when I consume anything with preservatives or additives.

According to Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology; “In most cases, nerve palsy begins instantly after local anesthetic injection into the retromolar region and usually resolves within 12 hours. However, in rare cases, onset of symptoms may be delayed for several hours to days. Dental infection or paradental foci is also believed to be responsible for the insult.”2

Reality time! That ‘serious situation in the future’, was here now, and it was frightening. I procrastinated for some time; I chewed on the opposite side of my mouth, avoided extreme cold foods. Then one day I had a very painful unsoothable jaw which persisted for several days and I knew I had to see a dentist. I googled for a holistic dentist in my area, hoping there would be alternate solutions to the local anesthesia that I dreaded.

I was fortunate to find a wonderful holistic dentist who understood chemical sensitivities. The dentist recommended I take Traumacare homeopathic tablets for the pain until my appointment, which was very effective in eliminating the pain. I explained my challenge to her and my past history and then also shared how I had been treated for food allergies using acupressure treatments and wondered if it was possible to eliminate drug reactions using a similar method. She brought out three different types of local anesthetic and watched me as I tested each just by holding them up to my sternum (you can find out how this works by checking out this post) . Local anesthetic vial number one, sent me falling backwards in a thrust that the dentist could see, as did local anesthetic vial number two. Local anesthetic vial number three did not knock me off balance but sent nerve tingles all the way up my arms, shoulders, chest, face and head, which stopped once I let go of the vial. The local anesthetic in vial three was Carbocaine 3% which is a no-methylparaben formulation to avoid allergic reactions on sensitive patients.

Read how my collaboration with my holistic dentist to neutralize my drug reaction to the local anesthetic using a laser pen focused on a series of acupressure points, allowed me to safely have my tooth extracted without and adverse reactions . . . http://mybodycanhealitself.ca/wordpress/taming-food-pollen-and-drug-reactions-using-laser-pen-acupressure-point-stimulation/

LAVENDER - a gift from 'God's Farmacy'

My first lavender harvest this year. Love the scent of lavender! What I love even more is the therapeutic benefits of lavender, my 'go to' for calming. Lavender is known for its ability to calm the nervous system, lift the mood and even lower blood pressure. I apply it to the inside and outside of my wrists and ankles which are high density classic acupuncture point areas, the back of my neck and anywhere else that I feel tension. The calming effect is pretty quick. Diffusing it on an intermittent cycle can provide restful sleep. Place some lavender or a few drops of lavender essential oil inside your pillow case for pleasant dreams.

If you haven't tried lavender yet for its therapeutic benefits, you are missing out on a natural self-help solution. Lavender essential oil is an easy way to get started. Learn more at MY GREEN MEDICINE CABINET at http://mybodycanhealitself.ca/wordpress/page_id2914/.

‘Bone Knitting’ Comfrey Salve DIY
After harvesting some comfrey and marjoram I am prepping my herbal salve ingredients. My chopped comfrey and marjoram leaves are brewing in the organic olive oil infusion. Recommended infusion time is 30 days. At that time I will strain the oil and add it to my melted beeswax.
After reading the research studies (find in my post) on the benefits of comfrey I decided that I would make some of the salve and apply it to my ‘sometimes’ vocal sacroiliac joints and lower spine for the anti-inflammatory and ‘bone knitting’ benefits. Since I often use marjoram essential oil for ‘stress and strain to pain’ relief for this challenge, I decided to infuse marjoram leaves in with my comfrey leaves.

Permanent Natural, Seasonal and Food Allergy Elimination

I was blessed in the past to be able to find a solution to eliminate my multiple food allergies. Finally there is a self-help allergy kit version of the expensive allergy elimination treatments I received, for food and seasonal allergies.

The method of food allergy elimination that neutralized my food allergies at the time, were NAET treatments, which used the body’s acupressure points and pressure to neutralize my body’s ‘skewed’, or excess/wrong responses to specific foods. The NAET treatments have held for me and provided me with the ability to feel safe eating everywhere without fear of reactions.

Dr. Ynge Ljung, an Acupuncture Physician, has developed a self-help DIY allergy elimination version kit and system that eliminated my multiple food allergies. Her easy to use kits and system can treat the whole family, thus taking the power of your health back into your own hands. There are also kits available for seasonal and environmental allergens, as well as an emotions kit. This testing is not suitable for those who experience anaphylactic reactions. I can provide guidance on helping your body to reduce skewed allergic responses. Learn more about the kit at https://www.theallergykit.com/?ref=elisabethhines
