Master Liver Gallbladder Flush

Dodhisattva — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:19:06 +0000

It is amazing to note that our Liver’s perform the great job of over 600 functions in our bodies. It is my innerstanding that our Liver and Gallbladder require cleansing and rejuvenation a few times a year. Whether or not your diet is “spot on” (it has been noted by great Natural Doctor’s, such as Dr. Gabriel Cousen’s of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center & Dr. Bob Marshall of Premiere Research Labs) that even in these individuals toxic substances are in fact in the body and are released from doing a flush of these organs. It is important to note that our environment and emotions play a role in the bodies health and well being.

In Taoist Yoga the liver represents the Wood Element and it resonates with the Spring Season, a wonderful time to cleanse. The gallbladder is the associated organ. The emotions of the liver on the positive side are Kindness and Generosity. The negative emotions are Anger and Frustration. The sound of the Liver is the Shhhhh sound. To heal and restore the liver breathing green light into that organ allows for it to heal. Imagine the green light of the liver over flowing into the gallbladder. Now blow out any black color or toxin while creating the Shhhh sound. This is a vital component to healing the liver and gall bladder meridians.

A great healing affirmation for our liver could be: Love and Peace and Joy are what I know.

A great healing affirmation for the gallbladder might be: There is joyous release of the past. Life is sweet and so am I.

(The above affirmations are taken from Louise Haye’s, “You Can Heal Your Life.”)

If you choose to do a liver/gallbladder flush the above affirmations and sounds with color healing are wonderful techniques to incorporate into the healing system.

This upcoming weekend I will be performing a flush of these two organs. I have experienced several flushes and find that Dr. Bob Marshall’s program is of the highest quality. Dr. Cousen’s adovcates his program as well, he uses the ortho-phos drops which I am not a big advocate of, but do what works for you.

My main protocol goes along side Dr. Bob Marshall’s approach and Dr. Gabriel Cousen’s with a few “tweeks” of my own.

For the last 4 weeks I have been preparing my Liver and Gallbladder with a morning elixir drink consisting of Gall bladder Nano Detox and Liver Nano Detox. These products contain healthy micro flora as well as Gold Coin Grass and Nanized Tumeric. Other supplements include: Gallbladder complex and Paracidin.

The reason for the preparation is to soften the stones in the gallbladder so they pass easy and effortlessly.

Other preparations have been Coffee enemas and Castor Oil Packs on the Liver and Gallbladder as well as the Kidneys.

Staying Alkaline during this time is highly beneficial and adopting a raw vegan lifestyle is a great idea.

Take good care of your Organs and Remember Smiling to your Organs is highly beneficial at reducing stress and maintaining health and longevity. The more we send communication to the organs that things are okay and all is well thru the inner smile of the Taoist Yoga approach we activate the true healing of the body. Do this anytime you are feeling stress or anxiety and breath long, slow and deep!

Please Note: If you do not have a gall bladder flushing is still important and highly beneficial to the Liver. The liver has taken on an extra work load!

Optimizing your Digestion

Dodhisattva — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:35:39 +0000

One of the key factors in optimal health is mastering digestion of the foods we put into our bodies. A few things to note are that as we age our HCL (hydro chloric acid) levels in the stomach weaken. Most people have weak acid levels in the stomach. If we are partially digesting our food this can cause fermentation in the stomach leading to gas, bloating, weight gain and ultimately more serious degenerative conditions.

Another key role in digestion is a healthy “gut” which means that the ratio to healthy bacteria and unhealthy bacteria is 2:1. When the healthy bacteria is flourishing our immune system is strong and healthy. This creates a healthy and happy brain as the gut and the brain are very connected.

Enzymes also play a key role in the digestion of our foods. Enzymes are, as Dr. Edward Howell once said, “the spark of life.” When you see someone whom is rich in enzymes you will see that they are light and bright. There aura or the energy field around there body is strong, healthy and pure, they heal quickly and have an abundance of energy.

Last but certainly not least our thoughts and the way we relate to our food plays a role in digestion. This is the most important and if you have any healing to do in your relation to food EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique or what is also known as “tapping” can also assist in clearing a less than optimal relation with your food. You can easily google or research that subject for more info.

Here are some simple KEYS to increasing your HCL levels, Strengthening the friendly bacteria in your “gut”, and enriching your body with enzymes.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar (Raw Organic Fermented)- A small dose of this taken before meals will increase the HCL levels in the stomach to assist your body to break down food in the small intestine.

2. Green Smoothies- A smoothie made of half a blender full of organic greens and a small portion of fruit will increase HCL levels in the stomach.

3. If these approaches do not work for you you can also buy HCL derived from beets from Premiere Research Labs.

4. Building the friendly bacteria in your stomach comes with letting go of antibiotics and introducing cultured vegetables to your diet. Cultured vegetables are very important to ensure healthy digestion! Making your own cultured veggies is fun and cost effective.

5. You can also buy a high quality liquid probiotic to assist the body. Remember that fermented food is the best way to get your probiotics.

6. Coconut Kefir water is a wonderful fizzy beverage that can be sipped on to heal the stomach. If someone has a history of antibiotics you can be sure the body requires lots of probiotic therapy.

7. Enzymes are available in all raw living foods. So any vegetable or fruit that is left in its natural state is rich in enzymes. If you choose to eat cooked food remember that there are enzymes you can purchase to assist in digesting denatured food. If you go to the Products page on my site you can find high quality enzymes.

These are a few tips that I trust will assist you in your journey to a happy, healthy life! Cheers:)

The benefits of Skin Brushing

Dodhisattva — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:03:12 +0000

The benefits of skin brushing are wonderful. Of course to feel and see results a steady and consistent protocol is vital.

What organ is the largest in our body? Yes, the skin. So if we are consistent in skin brushing to assist the lymph to get rid unwanted materials in the body we will then see great health benefits. It is said that 1 lb of waste per day is eliminated by the skin.

The skin really gives us warning signs of what is going on in the body. If there is a rash, bump, boil, pimple etc…we can be sure that our organs are out of balance and we must re set our bodies systems.

Dead skin cells and outdoor pollution as well as waste from inside the body can sometimes have a challenge getting out through clogged pores. The skin brush will help to move things along.

I suggest skin brushing towards the heart and start at your feet. Right after you have done some thorough skin brushing take a hot/cold shower to really get the lymph moving. It is so invigorating and youthifying..if that is a word:) The reason for this is it helps to regulate our nervous system maintain optimum adrenal function.

If you are looking to get rid of cellulite or fat you can be sure that adding 5-15 minutes of vigorous skin brushing per day over 30 days time you will see results. Think of it as a massage for your connective tissue. What is happening is stored matter is then released. This also causes stored emotions to come to the surface for release. What a true blessing!

If you do decide to start skin brushing today pick a skin brush made from all natural fibers.

Happy Skin Brushing Everyone!!

Detoxifying and Maintaining Radiance

Dodhisattva — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 19:59:26 +0000

I mentioned the Netti Pot in a recent blog and I wanted to just mention a great regime for daily maintenance of the body. Since we are surrounded by many toxic substances it is really important to adapt to the environment and honor the body at our best. Here are some things I recommend and do daily to clean out the channels.

1. Netti Pot Daily to clean out the sinus cavity of smog, pollution and all kinds of particles that get lodged in the sinus cavity. After you do this your breath becomes longer, slower and deeper.

2. Gargle with salt water, use a tongue scraper, floss daily and brush teeth with sodium bicarbonate and/or something similar. A high quality medicinal oil blend is also great for the gums. Ascended health brand is nice or make your own.

3. Coconut Oil Pulling in the mouth is really helpful for getting rid of toxic metals and other unhealthy bacterias. Do this atleast 5 minutes per day and at your best for 20 minutes preferably.

4. DMSO in the eyes can be a great benefit to eye health, it may sting a bit in the beginning but what goes in the eyes is going into the entire system. The build up that crusts in the inner eye can be from parasite waste and other unhealthy toxins expelling from the body. Clean up your body to get clear and calm!

5. Apply oregano oil or rizols to the ears externally and on other areas of the body. This helps keep the bug levels down. Parasites do not particularly enjoy either of these oils. Rizols are ozonated and very powerful, use your intuition when utilizing Rizols.

6. Take a clay bath weekly and also put high quality clay directly on the scalp for at least 20 minutes to pull toxins out. I like Morroco Methods Zen Detox scalp therapy but also use other clays. Zeo force is a nice one for the bath. Be sure to use filtered and clean bath water all ways! Buy a bath/shower filter NOW.

7. Stay in the Now, don’t think about things too much or over analyze, be present to the beauty of your NOW moment.

The 4 Truth’s of The Traditional Shaman

Dodhisattva — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:31:08 +0000

As taught by my Shaman Elder, someone whom has been practicing for over 50 years these Truth’s really resonate with me. She was taught by her Grandmother and now anyone that wants to connect with her can at http://www.shamanelder.com.
So the 4 Truths:

1. All Power Comes from Within. You can ask yourself the simple question, What am I doing or not doing to hold myself back from this thing that I want?

2. Everything is relative and connected. Your actions effect all things. So, positive energy, produces positive results and negative energy produces negative results. Learn to speak, think and act deliberately.

Practice each day for at least 10 minutes thinking only positive thoughts until it is automatic.

Learn to speak your truth to you, then to others and then to all things.

Basic Truth 3:

We are limitless, adopt an attitude like, “I can do this.” Our attitude is how our life is played out.

You create your reality and your reality is what you choose to believe.

Basic Truth Four:

Effectiveness is the yardstick of ability. It is what you do that defines you.

~So then, when you create your own reality based on the four truth’s you know it is your reality.

Cleaning the Sinus’s with a Netti Pot

Dodhisattva — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:52:06 +0000

The Sinus Cavity is a place where debris can become stuck and if you live in a city or anywhere really in the world you are faced with many pollution challenges. Smog, Chem Trails, Car Exhaust, Heavy Metals..these are just a few of the toxic materials we inhale daily. Because of this it is a great idea to get in the habit of cleansing the sinus cavity with a netti pot daily. It is like brushing your teeth. Daniel Vitalis recently spoke at the Longevity Conference 2011 on this very subject and he highly advocates the use of a Netti Pot. It pretty simple to do and all you need is a netti pot, high quality salt and clean warm water. You can find instructions and information on how to do a netti pot on you tube or other informative sites. Most Netti Pots come with instruction. The use of a netti pot is an ancient teaching. Just try it and see how wonderful the benefits truly are. Once you begin to get comfortable with it you can experiment with new extract powders to add to your Netti Pot. For instance, Black Shilajit might be a great way to de-calcify the pineal gland. This is a huge benefit and a low cost solution!

So go out and get yourself a netti pot, make it apart of your daily regime:)

Raw Green Smoothie Benefits

Dodhisattva — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:01:34 +0000

Raw Green Smoothies are an essential part of a holistic raw vegan lifestyle. Once the body has been properly cleansed with green juice therapy, probiotics, superherbs and enzymes we can begin to eat nutritious smoothies! These smoothies will further the cleansing and healing of the body as well as feed you on a cellular level. One of the key benefits to the green smoothie is the natural fiber you are getting by only blending and NOT juicing in your high power blender. This allows for better bowel movements and a healthy colon. We can also recognize that the green smoothie is a valuable way to increase or rebuild our HCL levels (hydro chloric acid) naturally with out supplements. Another way to build HCL is raw apple cider vinegar before or in b/t meals, this also assists in alkalinizing the system. There is a great book called Green For Life by Viktoria Boutenko. I highly recommend it, inside are wonderful recipes for green smoothies. Below is a favorite smoothie of mine in the summer time when peaches are ripe. I got inspired to make this one day and I trust you will enjoy it too:)

Cheers To Radiant Living!

Peachy Girl Smoothie
1/2 a bunch or organic romaine lettuce
1 large organic peace without the seed
1/4 to 1/2 of a habanero pepper (depending on how much you enjoy spice)
1 big handful of organic celery
Just enough clean water to blend

Blend on High and Enjoy out in the summer sunshine barefoot on the earth after running through a sprinkler:) Enjoy life!

Why Culture My foods?

Dodhisattva — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:58:45 +0000

Since my website includes cultured food recipes I wanted to give a brief explanation as to why this is of utmost importance in your daily routine as you create wholesome living foods.

Culturing your foods allows for the food to be “activated.” It allows friendly bacteria to proliferate and actually digest itself. This is much easier on our digestive system as we go to eat. It is a great idea to eat cultured foods with every meal to make sure you are digesting everything you consume.

So…as we ferment and culture our foods the health and friendly bacteria is created and it allows for bio-available food to enter the body. When our food is bio-available we are able to build strong muscle, hair, skin and bones. We can then start to manufacture our own metabolic enzymes and hormones. This will ultimately lead us to radiance!

Some foods that you can culture are: Coconut water, Nut and seed milks, vegetables to make sauerkraut, seed and nut yogurts, seed and nut cheeses. The list goes on and on. Enjoy cultured foods today and try our Probiotic Blend Powder which is Proteolytic, which means it breaks down the proteins into amino acids. Not all probiotics are proteolytic or medical grade. Get these probiotics and consume them morning and evening to re establish friendly flora in the intestinal tract. Use this probiotic to create your nut and seed cheeses and yogurts as well. For recipes please go to my website: Http://www.dodhisattva.com

Fresh Pressed Green Juices and Sun Herb Tea Fast

Dodhisattva — Sat, 14 May 2011 22:49:21 +0000

On May 10th I began an inspired hiatus from food and began a wonderful extravaganza of fresh pressed juices and sun herb teas made with green rooibos, horsetail and different medicinal herbs.

During this time the use of Aloe has been essential. You can simply cut the sharp points off and leave the skin on, then create your juice with plenty of greens and blend in your aloe gently to not disrupt the enzyme activity too much. Aloe as I have mentioned in other post’s is incredibly healing to the body.

I also am enjoying one enema every other day along with implants of either wheat grass or high integrity coffee (premiere research labs). From there I enjoy probiotics in liquid form as well as other medicinal things like pressed tumeric and sea weed powders to re-mineralize after the enema experience.

I also feel magnesium baths are crucial to reinstill the mineral content of the body. Drinking plenty of clean water with Raw Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar is enjoyable too.

Today my juice consists of fresh kale from the garden, cilantro, baby onions, garlic, tomatoes, celery, cucumber, tumeric and loads of love. This tastes nice and reminds me of a savory meal.

This morning I enjoyed watermelon juice with aloe blended in to soothe my digestive tract after an enema and coffee implant. To learn more about coffee implants please go to Dr. Gerson’s website.

Exercise has been wonderful and today I went for a long walk up corral canyon in Malibu where I could enjoy uphill, sustained walking for an extended amount of time to stimulate the lymph. There is plenty of wild food growing right there in the canyon to pick and enjoy for juicing such as: fennel, dandelion, edible flowers, aloe etc…

This hiatus from food will probably last 21 to 30 days depending on my body’s wants/needs.

Really what fasting from food does for me is give my body a chance to heal up and cleanse from years of unconscious living and eating. Also it is a chance to connect deeply with spirit and all of my creativity seems bountiful right now. I have many ideas flowing through which is spirit granting me access to the abundance, kindness, love, expansion, beauty, and receptivity that I already am. ”Access Granted.” Aahhhh Yes,…a wonderful feeling to be grateful for this life and all the divine moments.

Sun, Ocean Waves crashing, Clean Air, Love, Joy, Peace….Life is all about Intention.
