| 26 Jun 2008 | Safeguard Your Kids’ Teeth! – Holistic Dental Health Podcast | ||
Many of you are already familiar with certain concepts of holistic dentistry, such as: mercury is poisonous, root canals promote ongoing infection, flouride is toxic, etc. Since that information is widely available and there is LOTS of documentation on it, I wanted this teleseminar to be more advanced and specific. Left-click on the link to listen or read, right-click to download Click Here to LISTEN to the Holistic Dental Health Teleseminar with Dr. Hal Huggins, DDS, MSc Click Here to READ the Transcript of the Teleseminar So here is just a sampling of some of the topics covered and questions answered in this FANTASTIC teleseminar:
I have read and researched extensively on alternatives to modern dentistry and holistic ways of caring for our teeth, gums and improving our dental health – so I’m pretty confident when I say that NOWHERE else will you find this depth and specificity of information on what you can do to take charge of this area of your health. Dr. Hal A. Huggins DDS, MSc has both a Dentistry degree and a Master’s degree in Immunology, plus over 40 years of research and experience in Holistic Dentistry – both in an academic and clinical setting. I think the fact that he views dentistry from the perspective of “What does this do to the immune system?” is why he has been able to develop such powerful protocols. He is a wealth of helpful, healing information and he shares many key cornerstones of his dental health protocol here. This teleseminar blew me away, and that’s why I’m giving it to you as a gift. Use it to move your health to the next level. And share it with all your family and friends!

| 21 May 2010 | All About Colon Hydrotherapy | ||
Did you know you can get Hepatitis C, HIV or even a mycobacterium infection (MAP) from a colonic? Just like a colonoscopy, if the therapist does not use a disposable tip and tube, you risk disease transmission. Join me in this podcast with the renowned Bianca James from the Sydney Colon Health Clinic (she’s the one who helped Dr. Thomas J. Borody develop his fecal infusion protocol) as we discuss topics such as:
– what someone in any country needs to look for in a practitioner and how to find a qualified practitioner. – WHAT colon hydrotherapy is – perhaps you’re a newbie and know nothing about it and maybe even feel nervous about it. – size of tube, how many insertions, how long does it take, how do I feel afterwards, etc. – who should have it done and Bianca’s thoughts regarding frequency, etc. – Bianca’s opinion on raw foodists who recommend a colonic every day for a month and then once per month thereafter. Just click the play button below… My Personal Opinion on Colonics Note: I have to mention, that my personal opinion on colonic hydrotherapy is that it is not required or beneficial for normal, ongoing functioning. From my research and experience, I have to conclude that a good balance of healthy microorganisms in the bowel should not be messed with. There are certain instances where a colonic, or series of colonics can be beneficial: When you’ve been constipated for longer than 8 months, or in disease states (as Bianca discusses), colonics can be necessary for a period of time. But once the flora is balanced and healthy, I feel there are better tools to ensure digestive health and that colon hydrotherapy is too disruptive and should not be utilized on an ongoing basis. If you need to have regular, repeated, ongoing colon hydrotherapy or enemas in order to feel “clean” or to get your bowel functioning regularly, then you are treating the symptom, not the cause. Many ‘health gurus’ recommend daily enemas as the basis for health. However, this is a very good way to destroy the healthy bacterial flora in your bowel, damage the muscle tone of your intestinal walls and interfere long-term with peristalsis. Just use your common sense: Is there any healthy tribe of humans (no degenerative disease, tooth decay rate of less than 1%) that have been giving themselves daily enemas or colonics? You also need to examine the language used by those who recommend daily or weekly colonics or enemas – they will talk a lot about feeling clean and pure. This is not so much a physical phenomena as a spiritual/emotional one. Humans are teeming with bacteria. In most parts of the world we co-exist happily with parasites, viruses and fungus. Nature is not “clean”. The basis for the natural world and the natural life is mother earth – and healthy earth is filled with worms, insects, microorganisms, etc. So if you need to feel “clean” I would encourage you to look at your emotional/spiritual life – what lies have you accepted about being “dirty”? What traumas do you need to heal? Where do you need to forgive yourself? What guilt are you carrying? The secret to strong, ongoing bowel health is a healthy diet (that naturally nourishes, detoxifies and builds vitality), probiotics, exercise, and lots of joy and fun in your life. | |||
| 01 Jul 2010 | Natural Alternative for Bowel Strictures and Obstructions | ||
When I came across this novel therapy for non-surgical healing of intestinal strictures, bowel adhesions and bowel obstructions I could hardly believe what I was reading. After doing this podcast with one of the technique’s inventors, Larry Wurn, I am even more excited! As you’ll discover when you listen, this technique may also work for anal stenosis and possibly for malrotation and volvulus. I didn’t ask about it in the podcast, but I suspect it may also work for dysphagia (difficulty swallowing, tight, spasming or obstructed esophagus). In addition to listening to the podcast, you can also download an informative and inspirational chapter from Larry & Belinda Wurn, founders of Clear Passage Physical Therapy about their revolutionary, hands-on technique for loosening the tough collagen cross-fibers that make up strictures, scar tissue, adhesions, etc. – providing a fantastic alternative to surgery: “Adhesions form in all people as they heal from infection, surgery or injury. Modern medicine offers little relief, because surgery creates more adhesions. When physical therapist Belinda Wurn experienced terrible adhesion pain a year after cancer surgery, her doctors said that corrective surgery would only create more adhesions. Unable to cope with the pain and unwilling to undergo surgery, she and her husband (co-author Larry Wurn) worked with respected physicians and scientists to develop a non-surgical treatment that has cured many complex medical conditions, including cases of female infertility.” I hope to try out this therapy for myself sometime this year, so will write about it when I do. But in the meantime, be SURE and download this chapter from their book (it is amazing and so worth reading!) and listen to my podcast with Larry Wurn (press the play button). If you can’t afford this type of therapy, or you want something you can try yourself at home first, then check out our tried and tested methods for home treatment (to relieve pain and clear blockages) and also be sure and have a look at my experimental therapy for naturally dissolving strictures. For a visual demonstration of exactly how strictures, adhesions and scar tissue in the abdomen form and how to loosen them manually, see my video with Mary Cox, Physical Therapist from Clear Passage: | |||
| 28 Aug 2010 | Nanoparticle Trace Minerals Supplement | ||
The Minerals of Life Trace Minerals contain most of the minerals (64 in total) that used to be present in our soil, before industrial agriculture, mono-crops and widespread pesticide use degraded our soil. And they are all in a naturally-occurring, nanoparticle or angstrom sized form, for instant absorption into the cells, no digestion required. As Dr. Carolyn Dean MD ND wrote in my Infoletter, Good Health Is Real Wealth: “Physicists tell us that the size of the mineral channels in our cells, are between 4-5 angstroms in diameter. An angstrom is one ten billionth of a meter, a range between a nanometer and a picometer. If minerals are larger than this size, they are not readily absorbed through the cell membrane. What I call “dirt minerals” may be millions of times larger than the channel they are trying to enter. Colloidal minerals and ionic minerals, while they may claim to be smaller than dirt minerals can still be thousands of times bigger than angstrom minerals. Therefore, you not only need to take the proper type of mineral, but it also has to be in an easily absorbed form.” These minerals also used to be present in our water – when our water ran through natural rock and soil and wasn’t filtered and processed, like it currently is, to remove pollutants. So, whilst you can just swallow these Trace Minerals straight (1 tbsp/day), I feel the best way to take them is to mix them in with your water, or pitcher of herbal tea and drink throughout the day. This is because minerals help to alkalize the body, so I figure if you’re ingesting them throughout the day, it’s a good balancing mechanism. Of course, that’s not always possible, so what I also end up doing is just dumping them into a glass of water, or Emergen-C, cooled herbal tea, or an Absorb Plus shake. In my teleseminar with the manufacturer of Minerals Of Life, Jim Haszinger, Jim revealed that he often takes a lot more than the recommended dose. So it sounds like there’s some leeway in usage – but the recommended dosage on the bottle that should be fine for most people is 1 tablespoon per day, either taken straight, or mixed in water or juice. You can also blend them up in any kind of shake or smoothie – the taste is indetectable. On their own, taken straight, they have a taste, but it is so mild that all my kids just swallow it straight from the cap. I use the cap on the bottle to measure and 1 capful equals 2 teaspoons, so I give my 4 year old 1/2 a capful and my 7 and 10 year old kids a full capful. I take 2 capfuls per day. Click here to download my Nanoparticle Minerals Teleseminar with Jim Haszinger If you have a hair analysis done, you will most likely be deficient in certain trace minerals because we no longer get what we need automatically from our food (soil) or water – by taking a comprehensive blend like this one, you can address or prevent deficiency and also provide your body with one of the foundational building blocks for good health. Up until very recently, major and trace minerals were not available in this super-bioavailable form, so I recommended your standard powdered minerals (chelated whenever possible). But these naturally-occurring nanoparticle-sized minerals are so superior they just take supplementation to a whole new level. As Jim and I discussed in our teleseminar: “Jini: I want to jump in here real quick because when I did my research on nanoparticle-sized minerals and the whole nanotechnology thing – which as you already pointed out, is manipulating objects to that nanometer size – one thing I discovered is that the minerals in plants are automatically in the size of nanometers. As you said, you’re not manipulating, you’re about which form does this mineral already naturally exist in. I just want to kick in with that there. Jim: That’s correct. You’ll find in plants that some of the minerals will be colloidal-size and some of the minerals are already in nano size. That’s because the plant will pick up colloidal-size minerals and they’ll be there for a time until the plant can digest them and work them over and make them into a nano size and become part of the plant. You’ll have companies that will use minerals that they call ‘colloidals’ and the colloidal is much larger. Our minerals – if you line our minerals up in a vertical line or a horizontal line – it will take about a million of them, like one strand of them, it’d take about a million to make up a colloidal mineral. That’s how different they are in size. Well, the plant produces a digestive juice that works the colloidal minerals and digests them into the nano size – we’ll call it plant saliva. Digestive juice is folic acid. Going back now, let’s go back to our little lab – we set up a lab and that lab is where we put into practice what we have discovered about creating an environment and we create an environment in which the minerals will grow from scratch. They actually go back in time and become fetus minerals and they will develop into these little crystals and they are, as nature would have them be, in that nano size. All we do is harvest them. We just harvest it as a mineral. We just create the environment and just harvest minerals all the time and they are in nano size. So whenever you see the word ‘nano’ involved with our minerals, that’s what it is and we used that name down through time, I mean going way back. But now, the word ‘nano’ has got a much different connotation to it, I’ve had people be afraid of our stuff because of the name nano, but it’s not the same as the manmade nanos.” We are now carrying the Minerals of Life Trace Minerals in our Holistic Health Shoppe, or, you can purchase them from Jim at World Health Mall. For best results, also use the Bone Support nanoparticle minerals to prevent or heal tooth decay and prevent or heal osteoporosis. bottoms up! | |||
| 30 Aug 2010 | Nanoparticle (Atom-Sized) Minerals Heal Tooth Decay and Osteoporosis | ||
STOP PRESS!!! – April 2023 Update8 YEARS DECAY-FREE!My family and I have now been cavity-free for 8 years. Click here for all the details of my TOOTH DECAY HEALING PROTOCOL OsteoporosisI found studies showing that nanoparticle (atom-sized/angstrom) minerals are effective at maintaining and increasing bone density in mouse models: “The results of our in vivo studies indicate that administering nano calcium carbonate and nano calcium citrate can enhance the serum calcium concentration and maintain the whole-body bone mineral density in ovariectomized mice. These data suggest that nano calcium carbonate and nano calcium citrate are more bioavailable than micro calcium carbonate and micro calcium citrate, respectively.” My 79-year old mother and numerous LTYG Wellness Circle members have been using Bone Matrix to treat bone loss. Note: My mother’s bones have remained strong with good density. How Much Should You Take?For osteoporosis: some experts recommend 1 serving of Bone Matrix, 2-3x/day for 3 months if you are suffering from osteoporosis, then get re-tested. And don’t forget your daily Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2– also crucial for bone formation. Click that link to find out how much Vitamin D3 you should be taking (varies according to skin color and where you live). If you’re currently taking MultiAbsorb, it already contains Vitamin K2 at a therapeutic level, and 1000 IU (25 mcg) Vitamin D3 in MultiAbsorb Daily Essential and 2000 IU (50 mcg) in MultiAbsorb Immune Booster (so you can adjust Vit.D dosage as needed). Both versions of MultiAbsorb contain 50 mcg of both K1 & K2, so 100 mcg total. Dr. Andrew Weil MD says: “If you’re taking a daily multivitamin, it should contain some vitamin K2, typically 10 to 25 mcg, which should be adequate in combination with dietary sources if your bone density is normal. If you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, you should take a daily supplement providing 50 to 100 mcg of this vitamin.” Not many studies have been done on Vitamin K1, but I feel both are important. For example, Vitamin K1 supplementation retards bone loss in postmenopausal women between 50 and 60 years of age.But getting back to Bone Matrix… For regular users: 1 serving per day is recommended. My kids, husband and I take 1 serving per day and when my kids were younger they also ate a lot of raw cheese and raw (unpasteurized, pasture-fed) milk. You can take it straight, or mix it in any liquid, but obviously, I’m going to recommend you take it after you’ve brushed your teeth and swish it around for as long as you can and then swallow – you might as well protect your teeth at the same time! Follow instructions on the bottle. Normal Calcium Builds Up In Your ArteriesThe great thing is, you don’t need to worry about taking too much calcium when it’s in this naturally-occurring atom-sized form. The calcium in Bone Matrix is the same size and form as the calcium you would get from green leafy vegetables. Atom-sized calcium does not behave like powdered calcium supplements, which can build up in your arteries and cause heart disease: A report in the International Journal of Cardiology states that excess calcium building up in the aorta is the “main cause of hypertension in old age.” So this is really good news for people with osteoporosis or taking steroid drugs or other medication that puts you at risk for osteoporosis – because you can supplement at higher levels without fear of heart disease. We are now carrying a variety of atom-sized (nano) minerals in our LTYG Shoppe – including all the ones mentioned here. I wish you healthy teeth and strong bones! Oh and my next challenge?… I want to figure out how to regrow teeth! I’ll keep you posted…. Original Post 2010:Those of you who have subscribed to my blog for the last couple of years know that I have been desperate to find a solution to the tooth decay that has been plaguing my family. I had new tooth decay at every check-up from the time I became pregnant and throughout the next 10 years. Yes, I know that pregnancy and extended breastfeeding often result in increased tooth decay, but I had hoped my diet and supplementation would have remedied that. My two older children also had cavities; my 7 year old had 2 cavities and my eldest had 6 cavities by age nine! The only child who did not have any cavities was my youngest who had been fed raw cow’s milk from the time of weaning at 18 months. This rampant tooth decay plague was particularly galling when we were the only family I knew who ate unprocessed, organic food, fermented and raw foods and used stevia whenever possible. My kids ate the least candy and processed food of ALL their peers, yet their dental health was worse than many of their friends. What was going on? I won’t bore you with the extensive research and experiments I tried to resolve this issue, but a big lightbulb went off when I read a clinical trial out of the University of Maryland Dental School where they had mixed some of the minerals used by the body to make bone, in nanoparticle-size, together with the filling material, and used it to fill cavities in decayed teeth. And the result was a reduction in subsequent tooth decay in the teeth filled with this mixture. That got me thinking… I wondered: if the kids and I held a bone-building nanoparticle mineral supplement in our mouths and swished it round our teeth every night, would it have the same effect? Would it heal our tooth decay, or at least stop any new decay from forming? So I found the best nanoparticle atom-sized mineral bone and tooth supplement I could: Bone Matrix and we began holding it in our mouths after brushing our teeth every night, for as long as we could. This usually meant about 1-2 minutes for the kids and 3-4 minutes for me. Then we swallowed it. The kids took 1-2 tsp and I took 1 tbsp. After three months of this, we all went for a dental check-up and GUESS WHAT? NO MORE TOOTH DECAY FOR ANY OF US!!! I truly cannot express the absolute glory and elation we felt at finally being free of this scourge. Our next dental check-up was also clear. These nanoparticle minerals even healed over existing decay on my daughter’s front milk teeth. Her two front teeth had half rotted from drinking rice milk from a bottle after weaning (we didn’t have access to raw cow or goat milk at that time) and were a medium brown color. Well, these two teeth became white again and the dentist pointed out that they had also hardened up – the same as normal teeth. HOWEVER, at our third check-up, we switched to a new dentist who did thorough x-rays and what did we find? Tooth decay between certain teeth. My daughter also had new decay in a molar that just naturally had a deep crevice in it (easy for microbes to nestle in). Also – and here’s the important part – previously, as part of our healthy diet, my children had recognized the importance of limiting and avoiding sugar. After two clear check-ups though, my 7 year old daughter felt the minerals were a magic wand, so she could eat as much sugar as she wished! Of course, I continued to keep their sugar intake low at home, but as your kids get older and participate in sports, playdates, sleepovers, etc., you lose control of a large chunk of their diet. Previously, my children would control themselves when they were away from home – knowing the importance of minimizing sugar. My 10 year old continued to be careful with his sugar intake, but my 7 year old went a little wild and took on a no-holds-barred approach to eating sugar at friend’s houses, birthday parties, sporting events, etc. And guess what? Yep, at our third check-up she had 2 small patches of decay, whilst my 10 year old continued to have none. In that span, my 4 year old had also begun having playdates and joined a swim club and I noticed his sugar intake had gone up significantly and likewise, he too had one patch of pre-decay (softening) on one tooth. So whilst these nanoparticles minerals may be a missing piece of the puzzle in your battle against tooth decay, they certainly aren’t a magic wand and they don’t seem to affect tooth surfaces they can’t reach – like between teeth – and they can’t make up for a diet poor in nutrients and/or with continual sugar consumption. But if you’ve got the diet part handled, and you’re flossing well, then these minerals may result in a big improvement in your dental health. And one last caution: If you’re drinking whey protein shakes or elemental diet shakes, then be extra careful to brush and floss well around the gum line. Whey protein and maltodextrin are very sticky and if you don’t clean them off properly, you can get decay at, or just under the gum. Obviously, there is still a missing link in the tooth decay puzzle though – aside from diet, genetics, minerals, saliva pH, etc – that no one has identified yet. And I sure wish someone would! Well, I will keep going with our experiments and maybe the dental community will figure it out someday…. In the meantime, let’s press on and keep sharing information. 2023 UPDATE: Yes, I found the missing link in the puzzle!! My family and I have been decay-free for 8 years and counting! Here’s how we did it… | |||

Jini Patel Thompson interviews a PhD expert on WiFi and cellphone radiation – Dr. Magda Havas – and gets us clear answers as to what exactly we should be concerned about and how to protect ourselves and our children in this wireless age. There are so many misconceptions and misinformation when it comes to what is called microwave radiation / radio frequencies. So we’re talking about WiFi, wireless computers, cell phones, Nintendo’s, Wii, all of these wireless devices. We have journalists, telecom executives and government agencies saying things like, “Well, you don’t need to worry because a year sitting in a classroom near a wireless network is roughly equivalent to 20 minutes on a cell phone.” Or: “The health protection agency in the UK points out that a person sitting in a WiFi hotspot for a year would be exposed to only the same amount of radiation from a 20-minute mobile phone call.” If that’s true, then why do we have thousands of people diagnosed with electrohypersensitivity (EHS)?

| 18 Jul 2019 | How To Measure WiFi and Cell Phone Radiation | ||
How To Measure WiFi and Cell Phone RadiationAs the mother of three children – with thinner skulls, higher water content in their skulls (= higher conductivity) and undeveloped immune systems – it is very important to find out what levels of microwave RF radiation my kids are being exposed to, so that I can take measures to protect them where needed. So the first component of protecting your kids from wireless radiation involves testing and measuring their daily environment for WiFi signal strength – school, home, dance or gymnastics studio, friends’ houses, etc. Anywhere your kids spend over an hour continuously should be tested (in my opinion) so at least you can get a good idea of their daily radiation exposure. Baubiologie – standard Building Biology testing methods – lists RF safety readings in the home (especially in sleeping areas) in the following manner: No Concern – less than 0.10 microwatts/m2 (microwatts per meter squared) Slight Concern – 0.10 – 10 microwatts/m2- Severe Concern – 10 – 1000 microwatts/m2 Extreme Concern – greater than 1000 microwatts/m2 Magda Havas PhD recommends that (especially for children) microwave radiation levels do not exceed 0.10 microwatts/cm2 (per centimetre squared) and indoor areas do not exceed .001 microwatts/cm2. In my teleseminar with her, she said: “We did a study just last– a few years ago, itʼs just coming out this year, where we tested the response of the heart to microwave radiation and the arc exposure was 0.3 microwatts/cm2, so itʼs 3 times higher than that guideline that I just mentioned – and several of the people we tested blindly, so it wasnʼt a psycho-somatic response, they developed tachycardia which is a rapid heart rate and arrhythmia instantly as soon as we exposed them to the radiation from a cordless phone at 2.4 GHz. So, if adults start having those symptoms and I know quite a few adults who have them, they suddenly feel; their heart starts beating, they have this pressure and pain in the chest area, theyʼre having an anxiety attack, thatʼs how the interpret it, or theyʼre having a heart attack and they donʼt know which and it scares them incredibly. Well, children are now beginning to have these problems.” Once you know what you’re dealing with, then you can take steps to reduce or eliminate their radiation load – I’ll get into all that in a separate article. For now, let’s just look at what RF meters are on the market, at what price, and what each of them do to measure wifi signal strength – so that you can find the right one for your needs and budget. As a mom, you’ll likely want to test primarily for:
The Main Differences Between Meters The main distinctions between the different types of meters (and hence the price) usually boils down to 3 specifications:
If you can’t be bothered to read through the detailed meter descriptions below and you just want to know: What’s the cheapest, easiest meter that can measure pretty much everything? Then this Cornet 8 GHZ RF Meter (Uni-directional $179.90 + free shipping) will cover all your needs. This meter is much cheaper than the Tenmars below because it only measures radiation coming from one direction, whereas the Tenmars meter below measures radiation coming from all sides. This meter also only measures electrical and RF, wheras the Tri-Field measure magnetic fields as well. However, if price is key, then this is a very good choice, since it measures all RF devices (cell phones, cordless phone, WiFi, surveillance bugs, microwave ovens, etc.) from 1 MHz – 8 GHz. If you want the full-service radiation meter, so that you can measure everything in every situation, from one spot, then the Tenmars 8 GHZ RF Meter (3-directional, $345 + free shipping) is your best choice. Here’s an In-Depth Description of the Various Radiation Meters and their Pros and Cons: Handy Meter ($159.95) – This meter will measure radiofrequencies from cell towers, smart meters, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other wireless/cordless transmitters, as well as low frequency magnetic and electric fields from power lines, circuit boxes, lighting and appliances. This one only measures up to 100 microwatts/cm2, so there is a problem using in North America where our upper “safety” limit is 1000 microwatts/cm2 – you’ll know it’s unsafe, but you won’t know how bad it is. This one is also only single-axis, so you’ll have the tedium of having to measure at 8 different points/directions around in a complete circle – pausing at each new point to let it pick up the new reading – to get an idea of what radiation exists in any one spot. The good part about this meter is that it will give you the actual meter reading (e.g. 18 mW/m2) PLUS give you the color-coded ranges of safe/green-caution/yellow-unsafe/red. This meter covers 50 Hz – 8 GHz – so it will give you readings for most cell phones, wireless computers and cell towers. The newer generation of cordless phones and other technology on the 5.8 GHz frequency will also be picked up by this meter. More details here… (scroll down the page) Pocket PF5 Meter ($159.95) – Another really simple meter – but this ONLY measures electric and magnetic fields, which is either a beneficial feature, or a confusing one – depending on your needs. The PF5 measures electric and magnetic EMFs from house wiring, including those from appliances at home or at work, covering frequencies from 20 Hz to well over 50 kHz. This enables the PF5 to measure the higher frequency electric and magnetic fields emitted by induction cooking hobs, solar-panel inverters, ‘energy-saving’ compact fluorescent (CFL) lamps and LED lights. This one gives readings and has different colored lights: green-safe, yellow-caution, and red-unsafe. Electric fields range is 5 – 200 V/m and magnetic fields range: 0.2 – 20 mG, It is also really small (pocket sized) making it easily portable – which again, may be a positive or a negative, depending on what you want it for. More details here… (scroll down the page) ESI 24 EMF Monitor ($159.95) – This meter detects and displays all 3 EMF types at once: magnetic fields, electric fields, and radiowaves/microwaves simultaneously. It is fairly simple to interpret (there are red/yellow/green LED lights) – these lights indicate EMF level and are supported by a loudspeaker that gives an audible indication of field strengths. Sound frequency/intensity changes with increasing field strengths, but sound can be turned off if you like. This meter allows for quick and easy localization of the sources of different types of EMF. The display shows 5 different levels, ranging from extremely low (i.e. no significant radiation exposure) to too strong for prolonged exposure and distinguishes how much for each radiation type. Super easy and super sensitive. Electric fields range is 16Hz – 3kHz, magnetic fields range is 16Hz – 3kHz, and radiowave range is 50MHz – 10GHz. More details here… (scroll down the page) Trifield Meter MODEL TF2 ($168.00) – As you move up the price scale, you’ll notice you get more features and more accuracy. This meter is a 3-axis meter rather than a single-axis, like the meter above. This means that you don’t need to rotate around, but can simply stand in one spot and the meter will scan 360 degrees around you to give you the complete/total radiation level for that particular spot. This meter will test EMF pollution from “hot spots” in your home, office, or work environment so you can take steps for “prudent avoidance”. It’s completely self-contained, so no parts to lose. You get 3 meters in one – three axis for magnetic and extremely wide frequency response. This is actually an updated version of their original trifield model. Here are some of the upgrades:
This meter will also give you the actual radiation level, and measures up to 1000 microwatts/cm2. US and Canada upper allowable limit is 1000 microwatts/cm2. This meter covers 20 MHz- 6 GHz – so it will give you readings for most cell phones, wireless computers and cell towers. The newer generation of cordless phones and other technology on the 5.8 GHz frequency will also be picked up by this meter. More details here… 6 GHZ RF Meter (Uni-directional $119 + free shipping) – This meter is very reasonably priced and will measure 100 HHz – 6 GHz. It also measures electrical fields (power lines etc.) The only downside is that it is uni-directional only (not a tri-field meter). This means that you will have to rotate slowly in a circle, stopping and pausing at each point to get a measure of total radiation for any one spot. On the other hand, it makes it easy to pinpoint which direction the radiation is coming from! More details here… 8 GHZ RF Meter (Uni-directional $179.90 + free shipping) – This meter is much cheaper than the the Tri-Field below because it only measures radiation coming from one direction, whereas the Tri-Field meter below measures radiation coming from all sides. This meter measures electrical, RF, and magnetic fields as well. So if price is key, then this is a very good choice, since it measures all RF devices (cell phones, cordless phone, WiFi, surveillance bugs, microwave ovens, etc.) from 1 MHz – 8 GHz. More details… 8 GHZ RF Meter (Tri-Field, $345 – free shipping) – This meter is 3-axis (no need to rotate), it measures from .0001 microwatts/cm2 up to 3,000 microwatts/cm2 and it covers from 10 MHz – 8 GHz – so it will measure every wireless device around (including surveillance bugs!), plus leaving room for future technology developments. This meter also measures electrical fields. For the informed layperson (like myself) this is probably the best combination of needed features and ease of use. The downside is that this meter ships from Israel, so your shipping time is going to be a bit longer on this one (about 2 weeks). BUT the great thing is, the shipping is free! I have ordered from this company myself to test and everything went smoothly and the meter arrived in 2 weeks. As I said above, if you want to be able to test EVERYTHING, with ease – because this measures the radiation coming from all directions (tri-field), so you don’t have to keep turning and re-measuring, until you’ve measured a full circle – you can just stand in one spot, facing any direction and it will measure ALL the radiation coming from every direction to that spot – then this is the meter to get. More details here… For people who need to get more specific, there are more complicated meters for this, but of course, they are also much more expensive (thousands of dollars). You can also check with your local (or country’s) citizen action group as some have meters they will rent to you for a fraction of the purchase price – if they don’t have meters for rent, be sure and suggest this to them! Here’s also a list of helpful resources to get you started: Note: All prices listed are correct at time of writing, but of course, are subject to change. Detailed Techie Questions? Please note that I am not an engineer, nor an expert in this technology. I am just trying to figure things out for my own family and then sharing what I learn as I go along. So if you have any specific questions about RF Meters or anything technical, please speak to one of the sellers of this equipment (who I link to above), like Emil: Emil DeToffol Less EMF Inc 776B Watervliet Shaker Rd Latham NY 12110 USA +1-518-608-6479 We received some new questions about this recently: QUESTION: My 10 year old son and I have been reading your website because he is doing research for a science fair project. I need to purchase him a meter that gives him quantitative data for how much cell phone radiation occurs with a variety of phones. He will compare his data and present for the science fair. By no means, does this have to be 100% accurate, but he must give a good estimate and be knowledgable about the subject. I have seen the Cornet ED-75 as the one to get. I’m personally confused on the different meters out there after reading multiple sources. Could you help by letting us know from your experience which one would be the best, but not the most expensive? ANSWER: The Handy meter or Trifield model above would measure the full range of cellphones, and he can point it at the cell phone antenna to get the reading. I suggest he also measure cordless phones as many are very surprised that they can emit more than a cell phone (especially the 5.8 GHz ones). The ED-75 only goes up to 6 GHz, so it cannot measure some of the cellphones on the market. QUESTION: If I bought a uni-directional radiation meter, how would I calculate how much radiation a certain spot is being exposed to by the surrounding area? You mentioned starting north and turning the meter 15 degrees until it’s gone full circle. But then what do I do with the data to get an estimate of the amount of radiation in that spot? Do I add all the readings together or take the highest one? ANSWER: You just take the highest reading – because whatever side of your body is being exposed to that high level, doesn’t really matter – you are still being exposed to it and that’s the highest radiation that’s coming to that spot in the room.

| 12 Nov 2011 | Synergistic Healing – Meditation, Prana, EFT | ||
Annabel Fisher and I did a presentation together at the Canadian EFT Gathering a couple weeks ago – where I presented the theory behind combining more than one powerful healing tool together, for a synergistic effect that greatly maximizes the healing possible. Synergy is where 1+1 does not equal 2, it equals 5. So EFT + Pranic Healing + Meditation + Dialoguing With Your Body = WOW! And then Annabel led people through an actual Healing Meditation to experience what I was talking about. I’m very pleased to be able to share this powerful healing experience with all of you. Here is the video of my presentation first (so you know what it’s all about and what you will experience): Free Meditation For You! And then here is the MP3 download of Annabel’s Healing Meditation for you to experience for yourself (only listen to this while lying or sitting down – not driving a car, etc.!). If you also want my video presentation in audio MP3 format to share with others, you can download it here. For those of you who don’t know where the EFT meridian tapping points are (you will need to know these for the Healing Meditation), you can download the Basic EFT Manual here. Or, I have lots more info and free downloads for you on this site, for a good intro to EFT. Lastly, if you’re interested in the Healing Meditations for Deep Sleep or Rectal Healing that I talk about in the video, then you can get those here at the LTYG Shoppe. If you’re a LTYG Wellness Circle member, then just go to the site and download the meditations from the Resources section.

| 25 Nov 2009 | Acid-Alkaline pH Body Balance | ||
This is a wonderful opportunity for you to learn more about the details of achieving and maintaining an alkaline body pH. Digestive disease expert, Jini Patel Thompson interviews pH body balance expert, Maraline Krey, for things we can easily and simply add to our daily lives to improve our pH body balance. Maraline Says: “If you can shift your perspective of food and water from simply being fuel and hydration, and develop your understanding of “you are what you eat” meaning “maintenance and healing comes from what we ingest”, you will begin to understand why we, as a world, have become too acidic. Fortunately, we can control our own environments, the key is to know what is most important, how to convert acid into acid busters, and simply make “Small Changes That Make The Biggest Differences” – that you like better, taste better, and are better for you. You can balance using shortcut products, shortcut tips, knowing about alkaline/acid foods and drink. How quickly you become balanced depends on either your discipline or your budget – or a combination of both. This process can be the most fun you’ve ever had, nothing tastes as good as good health feels, and we have ways you can trick your brain into thinking one thing, but getting something healthy instead – honest!” Just click the play button below to get all the details… Or, if you have an iPod or mp3 player, you can subscribe to my podcast show on iTunes.

| 11 Dec 2009 | Raw Milk Diet | ||
Raw milk diets have been used since the 1900’s by medical doctors at the Mayo Clinic to cure a wide variety of illnesses from diabetes to colitis. In this podcast, I talk to Jim Ehmke CN, in the middle of my experiment with a Raw Milk Diet. Jim Ehmke has extensive experience using raw (unpasteurized) milk as a healing tool, so he has some great advice for me and a few interesting stories to tell too.

| 01 Feb 2010 | Natural Remedies for High Blood Pressure | ||
Before you take any medication for high blood pressure, you have to listen to this podcast! We will also explain how blood pressure works and therefore how the parameters for “high” and “low” blood pressure are determined. And if you are currently on medication, Dr. Silvio Najt (board certified cardiologist, with a specialization in emergency medicine) gives you easily-implemented advice for how to stop taking it and lower your blood pressure naturally. * Please keep in mind that English is Dr. Najt’s second language – although he did live and practice medicine for several years in the U.S. Just click the play button below to get all the details… Or, if you have an iPod or mp3 player, you can subscribe to my podcast show on iTunes.

| 03 Jan 2010 | Natural Remedies For High Cholesterol | ||
Dr. Silvio Najt is board certified in Cardiology (with a specialization in Emergency Medicine) and he shares with Jini Patel Thompson his views on “high cholesterol” and the mis-use of statin drugs. Prepare to be informed, amazed and maybe a little bit shocked….. Find out what you can do and what you can eat to naturally bring your cholesterol into a healthy range. And as a side note, if you have high cholesterol, then make doubly sure you are not using teflon-coated pans or bakeware – due to the link between PFCs and high HDL cholesterol. Please Note: English is not Dr. Najt’s first language (although he did live and practice medicine in the U.S. for numerous years) – so please be patient with his pronunciation. Just click the play button below to get all the details… Or, if you have an iPod or mp3 player, you can subscribe to my podcast show on iTunes. Then you will automatically get new episodes downloaded straight to your iPod. One last thing, my friend Carolyn Dean MD, ND also has an excellent approach to cholesterol, here it is: People often tell me about the pressure they feel from doctors to take statin drug medication for their cholesterol. The minute their blood test is above 220, their doctors scare them into taking drugs saying they can get a heart attack if they don’t. Then every chest pain or feeling of tiredness sends them into a panic. There is so much wrong with this black and white approach to cholesterol that it’s hard to know where to being so I’ll give you some facts in point form. 1. In 1913 a Russian study found that rabbits fed cholesterol developed yellow plaque in their arteries. However, the cholesterol they were fed was rancid and led directly to the abnormal finding. But by the time those facts were revealed, cholesterol’s fate was sealed. It became the bad guy and the “cause” of heart disease. 2. We require cholesterol as the main building block to make all our hormones. When cholesterol is down, so is your libido. 3. Cholesterol coats every cell in the body with a fatty membrane. This is especially important for brain cells. The brain is a very fatty tissue! 4. Cholesterol is an important antioxidant and when it’s elevated that can be a sign of toxicity. If your cholesterol is high, that’s when you go on a detox program. It’s NOT the time to take a toxic drug. 5. Cholesterol becomes elevated due to stress because stress produces toxins in the body that require cholesterol to act as an antioxidant. 5. When I was in medical school the “normal” cholesterol was around 250. The new “normal” cholesterol promoted by drug companies is under 200 with 180 being considered ideal. Hammering cholesterol down with statin drugs is the wrong approach. 6. Statin drug side effects are painful muscles and muscle damage, nerve damage, impotence and memory impairment. Muscle pain is treated with anti-inflammatories–that’s until they are taken off the market for causing heart disease. Impotence is treated with Viagra. And memory impairment is treated with Alzheimer’s drugs. It’s a win win for the drug companies. But what about you… What do I recommend? 1. Pay attention to your diet. I am not an enemy of eggs – see Point 1 above. Trans fats and rancid fats and oils (in baked goods and fried foods) are the main culprits in raising your cholesterol. 2. Magnesium is a mineral that acts like a natural statin and helps balance cholesterol in the body. 3. Detoxification with clay baths or footbaths. See my ‘resources page’: http://drcarolyndean.com/resources.html 4. Red Rice Yeast with CoQ10 is a natural plant statin and can lower cholesterol more naturally than statins. I recommend it if detoxification, stress reduction and magnesium aren’t enough.

| 21 Jan 2010 | All About Elemental Diets | ||
This is a great podcast with me (Jini Patel Thompson) and my assistant, Nicole Paull, called All About Elemental Diets. This is from our LTYG Wellness Circle, but we decided to make it available to everyone since we get these questions all the time. We discuss the most common questions, difficulties, tips and tricks for people wanting to go on an elemental diet. What are the viable alternatives to an elemental diet? For people who don’t have the money, or the time, or the willpower to do an exclusively elemental diet. We even tell you who should not go on an elemental diet! Nicole and I have been answering questions on the forum and doing private consults with people on The IBD Remission Diet for years (in addition to having both personally been on the Diet) – so we pull from a huge pool of experience with hundreds of different people. This is definitely information and insight you won’t find anywhere else – by the end you’ll likely know more about bowel rest diets than your GI! Just click below to download both the mp3 audio recording of the podcast and the written transcript.

| 28 Dec 2021 | Two Different Types of Constipation | ||
Before looking at treatments for constipation, it is important to first identify which kind of constipation you have. Through the course of my research, consultations with clients, feedback from readers, and my own struggle with constipation, I have come to identify two different types of constipation. Since I have not come across any labels for these in the medical literature (or perhaps I just didn’t read widely enough), I have made up my own labels to distinguish between these two different types of constipation. I call them peristaltic constipation and stenosis constipation. Of course, while most people seem to suffer from one or the other, there are people who suffer from a combination of the two. 1. Peristaltic Constipation This type of constipation can consist of many different symptoms or factors, but the defining elements are as follows:
Colonic massage can really help get your bowels moving and assist your body’s peristaltic mechanism. 2. Stenosis Constipation I came up with the name for this one based on the medical label of anal stenosis (narrowing, tightness or stricture of the anal canal). Stenosis constipation means that you experience one or more of the scenarios below:

| 04 Mar 2010 | Work As A Spiritual Path | ||
A January 2010 survey reported on CBS News found that only 45% of Americans liked their job. This means that 55% are not satisfied with, or dislike their job! This is a very high figure – why do so many people stay in jobs they hate? Freelance journalist Cosmo Dookelo has an answer for this: “In today’s regimented office environments, in any building type, security is paramount. In return for half a paycheck every other Friday, they are loyal to jobs they hate, and they come home to pour themselves into projects like model railroading, hang gliding, etc. at hobbies they love, all the time having to quell the voice in their heads that they OUGHT to be doing what they LOVE. They OUGHT To be experiencing God’s Favour. They OUGHT to do it whether they are paid or not. But instead they work to fulfill some other person’s goals, or to prop up another person’s ego all the while despising themselves for doing so. This makes the minutes tick by like HOURS. They had a vision when they were 10 years old that they would be an ATTRACTION and would do something IMPORTANT… and instead, because they seek the total security with (of) their resources, they repel people. They repel increase… they repel the good life and their lives become pleas for more poverty and want. You don’t solve this problem by chasing money. Americans hate their jobs because they hate themselves. They hate themselves because they are too cowardly to strike out and go hungry for a week, a month, finding the work that Needs Them, and that They Need. They are trapped in communities of negativity who simply tolerate them. Because of this, any new idea brewing might be stillborn it in someone’s mind. It rots there.” But can your business or your job be part of your spiritual journey? Can it actually be a healing process? Find out as I interview Mark Silver – a Sufi Master and Business Consultant.

| 31 Mar 2021 | How to Reduce Herxheimer Reaction & Detox Sensitivity | ||
Linsy’s Struggle with Herxheimer ReactionMy assistant Linsy is known around here as the Queen of Herx. This is because her healing journey involved just off-the-charts sensitivity and massive reactions to any kind of anti-pathogen or detox agent that resulted in the Herxheimer Reaction (pathogen die-off). In addition to her sensitivities, she had extensive food and environmental allergies. If all of this sounds familiar to you, then you will likely learn a lot of helpful tips and tricks from my interview with Linsy below. Linsy’s Healing JourneyAs someone who has walked a difficult pathway of healing from IBD, Linsy is now clear of any colitis symptoms. And her allergies and sinus issues are almost completely cleared up. She also continues to follow some of the protocols in Listen To Your Gut; taking ongoing healing supplements for her gut, while also being proactive on the mind/body aspects of healing. You can also download this as a Podcast, or listen to the audio here: Show NotesJini Patel Thompson interviews her assistant Linsy (the Queen of Herx) for in-depth info and strategies on how she dealt with her off-the-charts sensitivities and still managed to heal her ulcerative colitis using entirely natural methods.

| 17 May 2021 | Meditation with Horses for Anxiety, Loneliness or Fear | ||
Those of you who’ve been subscribed for a while know that sometimes I share healing experiences that I create with my herd of horses. Join us again today, as we take you on a guided journey to release anxiety, fear or loneliness from your body & mind. Followed by gentle music and being with the herd and dogs out in nature. You may also like to use this before bed to ease into sleep. If you prefer, here is the podcast audio-only version of this meditation: I co-created this guided meditation with the herd at the request of my son, Hugo, who landed in the UK on April 23rd and went straight into lockdown quarantine at the soccer (football) school he’s attending for the next two months. He was in a 12×8′ room with only enough floor space for a yoga mat, in solitary confinement for 7 days! Meals were dropped off outside the door. He was only allowed to leave the room to shower or use the toilet. His isolation was worse than an incarcerated criminal, because at least they’re allowed to go outside once a day and they leave their jail cell for meals. What governments are doing in the name of ‘covid’ makes me a tad crazy sometimes. How many children are dealing with split custody with their parents living apart? So they have to go into solitary jail cells just to see their parents? Madness! We negotiated hard and by Day 3 they allowed him outside (alone) for 20 minutes twice per day. On the flip side, I’ve been discussing with Hugo why he chose this experience… He could have quarantined with Dad for 10 days and then attended the school. But he was adamant that he just wanted to ‘get going’ with his destiny/passion (at that time, they told him school quarantine would only be 5 days). Why has he voluntarily chosen this difficult trial that could make even adults lose their mind? I don’t know when he’ll have the answers to that question, perhaps it won’t be for a few months or even a year, but this meditation, along with this other one (also with my herd), Lazer Tapping sessions, and a Zoom session with the horses have all combined to help him stay sane, avoid deep trauma and mature in a positive way. Life hey? The challenges never cease. Hopefully this video can go out into the YouTube universe and help many more people struggling with pressure, stress and isolation. And if you have kids or teenagers, definitely share it with them. They are all struggling, even though they may appear to be fine. | |||

| 11 Oct 2021 | How Past Lives Can Affect Your Current Life & Body | ||
Whether you believe in past lives, or not, is not really important. You may view time as linear, or you may subscribe to the more current view in physics of time as multi-layered, circular, enfolding into itself in multiple holograms, etc. You could view the whole concept of past/other lives as simply symbolic representations from your subconscious. It’s all good! I grew up in the evangelical Christian church (although my father is Hindu) and I didn’t believe in past lives either… until my health and my spiritual pathway ‘forced’ me into this exploration – as I talk about in the video below. If you have a chronic condition, or acute/severe condition or accident/trauma, or perhaps a very sticky yet negative relationship – these could all originate in past/other lifetimes. Or in the symbolic representations of your subconscious! Regardless, perhaps they are coming forward for healing… If you prefer, here is the podcast audio-only version of this video: This is one of the monthly LIVE Tapping Support and Q&A sessions included in my Lazer Tapping course membership. Join me for a FREE session today and see how it feels to your body. If you’d like to do past life regression therapy, look for a certified hypnotherapist that specializes in past lives. My children and I have all had sessions with Jenny Andrews and she’s fantastic!

The Effects of Probiotics on InflammationJoin me and Natasha Trenev, founder of Natren probiotics, as we answer another question from an LTYG reader. This week’s question reads: “Many people find dairy pro-inflammatory. Should people managing inflammation avoid Natren’s dairy-based probiotics?” Don’t forget to download my FREE eBook, What You Need to Know About Probiotics! Transcription: Many people find find dairy pro-inflammatory. Should people trying to manage inflammation avoid your dairy-based probiotics? Yeah that’s a loaded question you know dairy is one of the best suited culturing mediums for these bacteria that’s why they’re called lactobacillus meaning they are milk bacteria so that’s their favorite food if you’re not specifically allergic to dairy I would say take the dairy product it’s not going to cause more inflammation unless you’re specifically allergic to it. You’re allergic to the components of milk basically the the protein part the the lactose can be handled because your body can be reminded how to produce the enzyme and the bacteria will produce the enzyme for you but milk has the complete nourishment for these bacteria so that they can do the best job for you. And I’ve fought this for almost 50 years this business about anti-milk and you know the the cultures that were healthy consumed you know dairy products that were fermented with proper bacteria on a daily basis so if you don’t have an allergy to milk I encourage you to take the milk products. Can I ask you a quick question there do the dairy based powders so you have the the loose powder and then you have the capsules this is not Healthy Trinity we’re talking about the other lines, when they’re the ones that are cultured on dairy do the powders contain the dairy proteins. Yes they do but they’ve been fermented. And how about the capsules? When you when you have the powder inside the capsules does that same thing you just have less of the supernatant in the capsule than you do in the powder. Okay so that might be a place to start then to test your tolerance and for me because I have scar tissue in my throat i can’t swallow pills I just take the capsules I open them up and I mix them in room temperature water but that would be a great way to start testing. And also because I did a couple of very intensive teleseminars with a PHD in immunology and a bunch of experts on there where we talked about the whole issue of allergies and intolerance and you know how that is very much a learned way of being in the body. So you know we may be well we’ve been off milk for a long time or we’ve been consuming pasteurized gross milk products so our body said forget milk but we can. There’s a certain amount of re-education there that can take place by kind of like homeopathy introducing very small amounts so for me if I was wanting to do that I would start with maybe taking one capsule of the dairy based and mixing it with five or six capsules of the non-dairy and taking that together that’s a good idea. Yeah that’s a good thing you brought up you know we have the healthy start system which has all the three bacteria that’s found in the Healthy Trinity capsule so what we do is we have the same bacteria with different delivery mechanisms and different food so that those bacteria can interact with your body and we are unique nitrogen is still unique. I can assure you there is nobody that has our system or nobody that produces the bacteria with the supernatant which means the original fermentation and products which are so important to assist the bacteria to take hold on the intestinal wall and those compounds are also important as messengers and you know interacting with the 100 billion neurons in your GI tract which is the second brain and the immune system come on over to listentoyourgut.com and grab my free ebook what you need to know about probiotics.

| 13 Dec 2021 | Absorb Plus: Origins, Formulation, & FAQs | ||
I recently created this presentation about the formulation of Absorb Plus shakes on behalf of IMIX Nutrition, and it’s chock full of good info – so of course, I wanted to share it with the LTYG community as well! I go into a bit of my backstory, being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, and what drove me to create Absorb Plus – and I encourage you to watch if you’re interested in learning more about:
And if you’d prefer to listen to the podcast audio-only version of this video, here it is: Feel free to also download my free eBook, What You Need to Know About Elemental Diets, here. You can learn even more about Absorb Plus at AbsorbPlus.com. Shop all Absorb Plus lines and flavors here. **Note, we have had many readers write in asking if they can add more than the recommended number of scoops in their shakes – and if there are any downsides to this. In my book, The IBD Remission Diet, I talk about why I formulated Absorb Plus to have roughly 27 grams of protein per serving. I based that calculation on bodybuilders’ protein intake. Because if you ingest more protein than your body can utilize, it will excrete it via urine. Thus, I recommend my readers not ingest more than 1 shake per hour for efficient protein utilization. And be sure to drink your shakes slowly for maximum nutrient retention/utilization! | |||

| 17 Jan 2022 | My #1 Self-Healing Tool – Transform Pain, Disease, Fear, Poverty, Anxiety, Obesity | ||
I created this game-changer healing course specifically for my readers and others who are struggling with chronic health issues, disempowerment, lack of abundance, unsupportive relationships, and boring in-a-rut lives. Because our unresolved/unhealed crap holds us back! This is my version of EFT or acupressure tapping – and it has been the cornerstone of not only healing myself physically, but also healing relationships (even abusive ones), unleashing my talents, and bringing in the money-honey – even when 4 banks in a row had turned us down (I tell you that story in my International Bestseller, Listen To Your Gut). You’ve heard speakers and successful people say, over and over again, that the ONLY thing holding us back in life, is ourselves. IT’S TRUE. And this course will teach you how to laser-focus in on your particular blocks and saboteurs and release them! FEEL your emotions, put them into FLOW Let’s heal the pain & trauma that’s underneath the emotions Re-connect with your body & suppressed emotions. Transform negative thoughts, pain, trauma, poverty, into positivity! Lazer Tapping is an integrated mind/body/spirit healing modality; healing, shift, release or transformation takes places across all levels of the self. Many healers and shamans assert that all dis-ease begins first in the emotional or energy body and then is expressed through the physical body. In my own healing journey, I’ve come to align with an aboriginal belief that the spirit (or higher self) tries to speak to us, but if we don’t listen, then the spirit uses our physical body to send us the message. Because it is much harder to ignore pain, discomfort, malfunction, danger in our physical body, than it is to ignore intuition, gut feeling, or signs and symbols. Once you get fluent in Lazer Tapping you will be AMAZED at this powerful healing tool you now have at your fingertips! Literally. Come and try a FREE SESSION and experience it for yourself.

Mother issues and wounding – the heart-belly loop. Was your mother unwilling or unable to meet your emotional, physical, or spiritual needs? Did you not receive enough love or nurture from your mother? Let’s heal the physical and energetic link between our heart and our belly (Hara, Dan Tien, source of lifeforce energy) in relation to mother issues and wounding caused by our relationship with our mother. Even if you were given away at birth, you still spent almost a year listening, developing, growing, to the sound of your mother’s heartbeat. Your belly and her belly fully symbiotic through the umbilical cord.

| 28 Feb 2024 | Healing Your Body By Listening To Your Gut: Fresh Leaf Forever Podcast Interviews Jini | ||
Healing your body by listening to your gutIn this fascinating interview with Jini Patel Thompson, founder of Listen to Your Gut and author of multiple books, host Vai Kumar uncovers lots of impactful information about Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s, Colitis, Diverticulitis, and IBS). A very personal topic to both guest and host, this episode takes listeners through a multi-pronged approach to finding a balance and restoring the body’s equilibrium. Listening to one’s own body, intuition, tapping into our body’s defences and healing capabilities, are all great reminders from this chat. Subscribe to the LTYG Podcast on your favorite platform so you don’t miss an episode! Here are some Chapter highlights and notes from this conversation:

| 24 Feb 2023 | Why Did I Manifest This Disease? | ||
We had some GREAT questions come in from a member of my Lazer Tapping program (mind/body/spirit self-healing technique) and I just had to record a video reply! Why Did I Manifest This Disease?The question reads: “What kind of support can be offered specifically around diving into & processing the emotional baggage behind the crohn’s and the gut? What support is available for guidance on getting deeper into the emotions in the gut & the meaning behind having manifested this disease?”
If you prefer to listen to this as a podcast, scroll down, or access on your favorite podcast platform. I love the way she has already grokked the distinction of this particular disease. Because anyone familiar with the work of Louise Hay (looking at the metaphysical causes for physical illness/malfunction) already knows that where & what in the body is an important part of the message your higher self is sending you, via your physical body. Map your pathologyAs I say in the video, grab your journal and go through these questions. It doesn’t matter which health issue you have (why did I manifest this disease?), the exploration process is the same: 1/ What’s bugging you? When you look at your life, what do you wish could be different? – job, living situation, daily life What’s not working for YOU? What does your soul wish was different? 2/ When you look back on your childhood – go back to in utero if you can – feel into what was happening, imagine how you might have felt? Go through every childhood memory, write them down (bullet points are good). Go through your whole life to date. 3/ AFTER you’ve made that list, let it sit there for a few days, then come back and see where the common points are… Was there a recurring emotion? Did the same emotional state keep showing up? What themes do you notice? Any traits, patterns, or beliefs that occurred repeatedly? 4/ Use your favorite technique to connect to your body, feel for what’s there… It feels___________. Breathe. What wants to come forward today? What’s ready to be dealt with today? You can do this as a DAILY Practice. If you need help, check out my Guided Connection: Place Your Consciousness Inside Your Body 5/ Become mindful of your daily life. How do I respond to events throughout my day? When do I become stressed? Notice the FIRST sign of stress – develop your sensitivity to catch it when it first starts. Notice which people, situations, relationships trigger you. It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you respond. Become your own detective; notice what triggers you, and why? 6/ Notice what parts of your body feel painful. Start tapping on just the physical pain. FEEL into the pain and describe it; burning, throbbing, sharp, dull, aching, stabbing, sore etc. Give your pain permission to exist. Follow the pain if it moves around your body; if you become aware of new places that feel painful, tap on each new occurrence. If you haven’t tried Lazer Tapping yet, come do a Free session with me. I encourage you to actually WRITE DOWN your answers to these questions and create a roadmap for your healing journey. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Once you have the answers, you can use whichever mind/body/spirit healing modality you prefer: Lazer Tapping, hypnotherapy, craniosacral, somatic experiencing, etc. | |||
| 13 Mar 2023 | LTYG Podcast: Iodine, the Thyroid and Adrenals | ||
Have you struggled with thyroid issues? Do you suspect your hormones are out of balance? Do you do too much, have poor boundaries around your time and energy, and run your adrenals like a beat horse? We started this discussion with me asking Dr. Scott Tyler ND to tell us what’s in his personal medicine bag? What does he always have on hand and ready to go? This quickly segued into a meaty discussion on thyroid function and iodine supplementation (if you want to jump ahead to the iodine and thyroid bit, start at 5:00 minutes) – do NOT miss this one! Followed by a discussion of the adrenals and once again how the mind/emotions are integral to healing both thyroid and adrenal issues. If you’ve been struggling with thyroid issues; fatigue, weight gain, loss of memory, feeling cold all the time, hair loss – then you will find this podcast enlightening and liberating. Oh and BIG NEWS: If you’re currently on one of my StrictureHeal protocols (which use iodine) you no longer have to monitor your thyroid! Dr. Tyler will tell you why. Video first and scroll down to the bottom if you prefer to listen as a podcast (here or on your favorite platform). Here is some more support/evidence for Dr. Tyler’s advice: “Dr. Michael B. Schachter says, “The treatment dose when a person is iodine insufficient is generally between 12.5 mg and 50 mg daily. Preliminary research indicates that if a person is iodine insufficient, it takes about three months to become iodine sufficient while ingesting a dosage of 50 mg of iodine daily and a year to achieve that while ingesting a dosage of 12.5 mg of iodine daily. For those who are interested in maintained dosages after disease and deficiencies have been dealt with understand that your thyroid gland alone needs about 6 mg of iodine per day for optimal function; the breasts of a woman will need approximately 5 mg/day (women with larger breasts need more); and other body tissues such as your adrenal glands, thymus, ovaries, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland need about 2 mg/day. Thus for optimal wellness adults should consider approximately10 to 12 mg/day.” And from the prestigious Orthomolecular Medicine association: “Feeling tired, having low energy or depression, gaining weight, memory problems, having dry skin, dry mouth or immune system issues? There is good chance your body needs iodine supplementation. The recommended daily amount of iodine by Dr. G. E. Abraham is 0.1-0.3 ml Lugol containing 12.5-37.5 mg elemental iodine. This is the amount of iodine needed for whole body sufficiency, based on a recently reported iodine/iodide-loading test.” As I mentioned in the call, I use the potassium iodide we sell in the Shoppe and it is 25 mg per drop. I take 1 drop per day. At some point, I will probably drop that to 25 mg every second day. We close out the call with a discussion of the assault on natural healthcare that’s currently happening in Canada, the USA and worldwide. We discuss ways to resist and also to create a parallel reality outside of the illegal and draconian controls being levied on humans at this time. What’s in Dr. Scott’s Medicine Bag?In case of emergency or natural disaster, Dr. Scott has these items packed and ready to go:
BioDr. (Allen) Scott Tyler is a second generation Naturopathic physician, following in his father’s footsteps. He graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, in 1986, and has practiced in Langley BC since. He developed a keen interest in conditions that relate to metabolic dysfunction, particularly hypothyroidism. He has since co-authored a book, “A Pound of Prevention” in 1995 with his father Dr. Allen N. Tyler, and is presently working on a book of his own about thyroid disease. He participated in a private herbal product company in BC, “Bowen Island Botanicals”, that specialized in organic herbal tinctures. He served as vice president and a board member for 10 years with the Northwest Naturopathic Convention, chaired the Canadian Naturopathic Education and Research Society, and sat on several committees of the BC College of Naturopathic Physicians. Dr. Tyler established a free clinic for the homeless, in Langley at The Salvation Army, with his lifelong friend Dr. Ted Sleigh. In 2018 he joined the Boucher College Clinic as a supervisor. He believes that the future of the profession lies squarely in the hands of students and new graduates, and continues to teach regularly at his own office as a satellite clinic of the school. He has no plan to retire anytime soon, and so, continues practicing out of the oldest federally recognized commercial building (c.1889) in “Langley Prairie”, at Murrayville. He spends his free time on his hobby farm, where he lives with his wife and one of their two daughters, and her family.

| 28 Mar 2023 | Challenges & Solutions for Elemental Diet Success | ||
Join me in this video as I speak with Dr. Roy & Debbie Steinbock on the challenges and solutions for elemental diet success. Roy & Debbie have been prescribing and supporting thousands of clients through an elemental diet for over 15 years. They have tons of experience dealing with all the challenges people face and supporting them through the process. Check out the elemental diet success program here.My biggest takeaway from this call is learning that Debbie and Roy start people on anti-microbials (like wild oregano, olive leaf) one to two weeks before starting an elemental diet. This way, they can go through the die-off effect (Herxheimer) in stages and not confuse the die-off/detox with the elemental formula, or attribute their symptoms to intolerance of the shakes. Brilliant! If you’ve considered going on an elemental diet for SIBO, food allergies, IBD etc. then this discussion will give you some great guidelines to follow. We start by discussing what’s happening with children’s health; why are they sicker and diagnosed with so many formerly-adult diseases? And why are gut disorders getting harder to treat and taking longer to heal? Debbie and Roy outline what kind of clients benefit from doing an elemental diet, and for how long. They also go over the difficulties people encounter when they go on an exclusively elemental diet; both physical and mental/emotional. And how they support people through this process. I ask them if they have seen the same kind of success when people do a half elemental diet, or combine it with low residue foods? And then the Steinbocks tell us about their own personal experience with using an elemental diet for their own health. Listen as a podcast, or watch the video. Any questions, just post them in the Comments section below. Listen NowAND don’t forget to check out the Steinbock’s elemental diet success program | |||

Ready to see RESULTS in your healing journey? Dane Johnson and I have a lively discussion on the deeper healing of Crohn’s, IBS, SIBO, diverticulitis, colitis – or ANY long-term chronic illness! Dane calls me the Top G of IBD, which leads us to a funny little detour into Andrew Tate.* Then we do a real deep-dive into the mental, emotional, and spiritual components of dis-ease, and how to go to the next level in your healing journey. You can either watch the video, or listen to this as an audio below, or on your favorite podcast platform. “When you’re dealing with a chronic illness, you are in the unique position of having the opportunity to transform and alchemize the experience into something much greater, with tremendous benefits to you.” – Jini Patel Thompson Dane himself was very resistant to go into this aspect of healing; he talks about where he came from and what it took for him to finally be willing to walk this path that is absolutely crucial for long-term, complete healing. I hope you enjoy this conversation on the gifts of chronic illness as much as we did! And please feel free to share your story and any milestones in your healing journey below… *p.s. When I say that I see the role Andrew Tate is playing for young men and how it has value, I’m referring to his more recent persona as someone who encourages hard work, discipline, business education, physical fitness, and taking care of the body. I’m certainly not referring to his early macho persona of using and manipulating women. | |||

| 17 Apr 2020 | How Vulnerability and Authenticity Heal Us | ||
You may numb your feelings to protect yourself, but in actuality you’re just driving your pain deeper into your physical body. EFT expert Annabel Fisher interviews me (Jini Patel Thompson) on her radio show, and we discuss how moving out of numbing and into courageous vulnerability is the beginning of root-level healing for both your emotional/spiritual body and your physical body. I share stories from my own life, as well as process and share tools for you to get out of the numb zone and reconnect to your authentic self and true feelings. We also discuss the difference between being authentic and being vulnerable, as well as the appropriate (healthy) times or situations to dwell primarily in one or the other. Annabel intersperses our discussion with her previously-recorded interviews with two men (Brian Johnstone and Paul Zelizer) who discuss what being vulnerable means to them and what they have learned in their own process of opening their heart and sharing their full truth. NOTE: We reference the work of Brene Brown a number of times, so if you missed my previous post about Brene (where you can watch her excellent videos), then just click here to check out the fabulous Brene Brown.

| 10 Mar 2013 | Flower Essences Vibrational Medicine | ||
Flower essences are a form of vibrational medicine that has been used in Europe for hundreds of years. In this teleseminar, learn first-hand how this gentle, yet deep medicine works both to prevent and treat a variety of health issues. Flower essences – you may have heard of Bach Remedies, or Rescue Remedy – are well known and popular in Europe. As flower essence alchemist Katie Hess says: “Flower remedy elixirs are an aqueous solution that when taken internally or applied on the body, works through the acupuncture meridian system. The science behind it is called sympathetic resonance: when you have two tuning forks of the same key and strike one of them, the other tuning fork starts to buzz even though it’s not touching the vibrating one. This is because the invisible sound waves expand out, causing the second fork to vibrate in resonance. The same happens with flowers. They are emanating waves that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but that strike a chord within us and as we re-balance our bodies and minds we experience more clarity, happiness, and peacefulness. When people find this hard to believe, I ask them how a cell phone works. We don’t question a cell phone, because we hear the voice on the other end. The waves emanate from the phone and send information through space. So we see this on many levels in technology. The difference is that what the flowers and plants has profound health benefits.” Join Jini and Katie as they discuss how to best use and benefit from flower essences – both as prevention and in combination with herbs and diet for treatment. Katie also gives many examples of clients she has helped with particular health issues.

| 09 Dec 2014 | Crohn’s Trial Looking for Participants | ||
I’ve recently learned about a new, experimental Crohn’s treatment I want to tell you about. It involves stimulating the innate immune system to wake up, and clean up ALL pathogens in the body (kill all the bad bugs). The mechanism used to achieve this is by injecting components of dead E. coli bacteria into the skin (dendritic cells). The preliminary trial showed a promising remission rate, so they have moved into a full clinical trial. Dr. Gunn is looking for 24 more trial participants to test this treatment, and all travel and accommodation costs (from anywhere worldwide) will be paid for – maybe that’s you? I’ve done a teleseminar with the doctor in Vancouver (Dr. Hal Gunn) who’s holding this clinical trial and I have asked him every question I could think of. So if you’re at all intrigued, download or listen to this 17-minute interview where I ask Dr. Gunn to explain the pros and cons for us: DOWNLOAD QU CROHN’S TRIAL INTERVIEW Here are some of the questions I ask in this interview:
I asked Dr. Gunn 2 more questions after the call – here they are, along with his responses: JINI: What is the longest time you have tracked anyone who has used this treatment? DR. HAL GUNN: The first compassionate use patient began treatment with SSIs in Sept 2008. JINI: According to the data that you have (and your imagination) what is the worst-case scenario you can think of, in terms of possible long-term negative consequences, or complications of injecting components of dead E.coli into your skin? DR. HAL GUNN: Based on the composition of SSIs (i.e., killed bacteria), we don’t expect any long-term negative consequences or complications from treatment. In our compassionate use program, we treated 270 patients with cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disease with no long-term negative consequences or complications from treatment reported. However, like any drug or treatment, we will need to treat thousands of patients before we can determine, with certainty, that SSIs have a very good safety profile. Then – as those of you who know me are aware that I am very cautious – I asked a friend of mine who is a Medical Geneticist if he could think of anything else that could possibly go wrong for someone who received this treatment. He replied that the only thing he could think of that might potentially be a problem is if somehow the bacteria is not actually dead when injected. However, being that Dr. Gunn has been using this treatment on cancer patients since 2008, and this scenario has never occurred, I would suspect they have a good quality control process in place! Dr. Gunn addressed this concern: “Qu’s manufacturing processes are controlled and validated to ensure complete inactivation of E. coli in the production process, including retesting of the final SSI product consistent with high quality control standards.” Dr. Gunn is looking for 24 more trial participants to test this treatment and all travel and accommodation costs (worldwide) will be paid for – grab an application form, or ask any other questions you might have: www.qucrohnstrial.com ALSO, Dr. Gunn recently recently did an Ask Me Anything on Reddit and there are some great questions & answers there too. | |||
| 17 Jan 2015 | Inside the World of a Medical Intuitive – with Dr. Katharina Johnson | ||
The noteworthy thing about Dr. Katharina Johnson is that not only is she a Medical Intuitive, she is also a Medical Doctor (MD). And if you’ve ever wondered what a medical intuitive does – and how she melds that with the scientific MD side of herself… well come on in! Here are some of the fascinating things you will learn in this call:

| 04 Feb 2015 | Food Allergies & Blood Allergy Testing with Dr. Ellis | ||
Have you ever wondered what blood food allergy tests actually mean? When you order an IGE or IGA test, to test your blood for food allergies – what exactly is being tested, what do the results mean, and how reliable are they? This is NOT a cheap test to have done (around $250-$300), so if you’re thinking about ordering it, or if you’ve already had it done, I encourage you to listen to my teleseminar with Dr. Wendy Ellis where we discuss all the aspects of food allergies and testing:
I’m even going to show you the results of my own IGG4 and IGE test, so you can follow along and see exactly what we’re talking about. DOWNLOAD Jini’s Food Allergy Blood Test Results (so you can follow along) Now click the PLAY button below to listen in… *Note: The typed Transcript of this teleseminar is available here. Now that you’ve educated yourself on a doctor’s position/experience with blood allergy tests – are you left with even more questions? Did certain things just not ring true for you? Are you wondering if there’s more to this story than docs realize? I sure did! So I organized another call with 2 other experts with lots of experience – one sees patients, tests for allergies and guides them in dietary modifications and the other is a PhD in Immunology and Experimental Medicine. I thought, ‘Let’s bring both sides of this investigation together and throw all our questions and observations on the table and see if we can’t come up with some meaningful guidelines in this arena!’ Come join us for this Food Allergy Roundtable discussion! | |||
| 25 Feb 2015 | Food Allergy Testing Exposed! | ||
If the whole complicated mess about food allergies, food intolerances, blood allergy testing, skin pinprick allergy testing and what that means – i.e. what tests you should have done, who you should listen to, what impact (really!) does this have on your health – is driving you crazy… Then be sure and join us as we put our knowledge and experience together and sort through the maze of exactly what is known (hard scientific fact) and what experience has shown us, to come up with some useful, meaningful guidelines that you can put into action. After my teleseminar with Dr. Wendy Ellis on Blood Food Allergy Testing, although I learned a lot, I was left with even more questions! So now we’re going in-depth and totally open (no one’s pushing an agenda!) on this 2-hour roundtable discussion, bringing together: Jini Patel Thompson (me) – author of 16 books, specializing in natural healing for IBD & IBS. Debbie Sarfati Steinbock – Certified Holistic Health Counselor in Colorado with a lot of experience in dietary modifications. Dr. Shirin Kalyan – Director of Preclinical Research at Qu Biologics in Vancouver, a biotech firm focused on immunotherapy for cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Shirin has a PhD in Immunology and Experimental Medicine. Things we discuss during this call include:

| 02 Mar 2016 | A Short Film to Encourage You on your Healing Journey | ||
Some of you may have seen this short video already – I created it years ago as a resource for people to watch whenever they were feeling down, discouraged, or when it seemed like their Healing Journey was taking forever. I just re-formatted it and uploaded it to YouTube so it’s easier to watch and share.

| 26 Oct 2016 | Medicalizing Life’s Problems – Rather Than Solving the Root Issues | ||
Here’s a little story from Dr. Goldberg for you, to kick off this topic: “We had a 47-year-old female patient, who following the advice of her Holistic, Functional Gynecologist, had a complete hysterectomy, plus a bilateral mastectomy based only on having the BRCA II gene. This was followed by a year of Diflucan prescribed by a local Naturopath and being placed on Thyroid Replacement Therapy because her T3 level was one point below normal. She now has silicone breast implants to boot. Pretty frightening, all in the name of being ‘natural’. We are increasingly seeing this type of scenario.” Dr. Paul Goldberg specializes in chronic disease reversal and healed himself of severe rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis in his twenties. Now in his sixties, he continues to experience robust health, but his daily supplement list consists of nothing more than a multi-vitamin. WHY? Because his daily, normal life supports the innate healing ability of the human body. We talk about some of these “common sense measures” in this teleseminar. And I have to say, it gave me a tremendous feeling of hope and vision for something I have believed in and promoted for a long time. As Dr. Goldberg says: “Odd how we are expected to conduct large scale, double-blind, case control studies on the employment of sunlight, fasting, liquid diets, emotional counseling, extended rest and sleep, pulling people off poisonous habits (e.g. drugs, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, etc.) – what we view as common sense measures. Also, a great deal of time is given to each patient and effort is made to sort out etiological (disease-causing) factors.” For example, did you know that 1/3 of female patients are on thyroid hormone replacement – without the effort to first find out why the thyroid is unbalanced and employ natural corrective measures – and that it can take as little as 1 year (and as long as 7 years) of even natural or bio-identical thyroid supplementation for your own thyroid gland to atrophy and cease functioning? So how ‘natural’ are bio-identical hormones and dessicated pig thyroid (Armour Thyroid) if they cause your own thyroid gland to cease functioning? Having done two in-depth teleseminars on balancing hormones, this call really hit home for me in a number of areas – listen in and you’ll find out why and no doubt have a few ‘eureka’ moments yourself! Just click the PLAY button, or download it: Did you also know that in order to get your Vitamin D from sunlight, you shouldn’t shower for an hour afterwards – your body needs that fatty sweat layer to convert the sunlight to cholecalciferol? LOTS more gems in this call and hopefully you will feel empowered with renewed faith in the healing ability of your own body.

| 05 Oct 2016 | The Power of Feldenkrais Bodywork | ||
Back in June, I was woken up out of a dead sleep with RANCHO LA PUERTA sounding in my head and the words written out in my mind’s eye. What the what? Write it down. So I wrote down: Rancho La Puerta. And immediately went back to sleep. In the morning I googled it and turns out it’s a famous health spa that’s been around since the ’40’s – who knew?! So of course I booked to visit there in September for 4 nights. Rancho La Puerta – Tecate, Mexico One of the main draws of this health spa is the non-stop activities from 6:30 am – 7:00 pm; from cross-fit to pilates and everything in between. Perusing the list, my gut drew me to the Feldenkrais classes, offered twice a day. I booked into those, along with 1 private session with the instructor, Donna Wood. My gut leading was interesting to me, because I had a series of 10 private Feldenkrais sessions (where the practitioner just worked on me) about 15 years ago and it was nice, but nothing remarkable. However, as I experienced that week, the difference with the group sessions is the instructor gives the group verbal instructions only. She won’t demo anything, as the point is for you to explore and find it within your own body. And THAT is what I found so powerful; learning the dialogue and conversations between the different parts of my body. Spending 45 minutes learning how to lift my hip using only a foot pressing lightly into the floor with a slight forward movement of the knee – virtually no effort at all. And voila, my shoulders are now lying flatter on the floor! And more importantly, STAYED that way for 2 weeks until I did 7 non-stop hours of manual labor out at my barn. Donna Wood – Feldenkrais Maestro So I don’t know if it was Feldenkrais in the group session (vs private) that was so remarkable – or the instructor. Donna Wood is also a sculptor, black belt in Judo and Capoeira and dancer. So I suspect – like all therapies – that the practitioner plays a huge role in the experience/learning of this healing technique. You can share the benefits! Donna has SO generously provided 24 amazing Feldenkrais lessons you can practice at home – at no charge! I really encourage you to give this bodywork method a try and see what your body has to say about it. The brilliant thing about these Feldenkrais sessions from Donna is that you don’t need to have access to a computer – as they are audio-guided sessions. As I mentioned, Donna will not demo anything for you – even in a live session. YOUR body has to explore and discover the movement that feels good, that feels easy, that feels delicious. So being guided by these audios is very similar to what you’d experience in a live class with Donna – you just can’t peek to see what the other people around you are doing! The other difference is that in a live session Donna will tailor the class to the people present. There are thousands of Feldenkrais lessons, so if Donna sees that your knee is in trouble (she is able to just scan people’s bodies and see where the difficulties are), and someone else’s neck is really stiff, then she will tailor the class to help those people. So if you’re in San Diego (or visiting), definitely contact her to join in some of her live classes! I have grabbed the audio off each of her YouTube videos for you, so you can simply load them onto your mp3 player or iPod/iPhone and away you go. Here they are: Donna Wood Feldenkrais – Lesson 1 – DOWNLOAD MP3 Donna Wood Feldenkrais – Lesson 2 – DOWNLOAD MP3 Donna Wood Feldenkrais – Lessons 3-9 – DOWNLOAD Zipped File Donna Wood Feldenkrais – Lessons 10-16 – DOWNLOAD Zipped File Donna Wood Feldenkrais – Lessons 17-24 – DOWNLOAD Zipped File I would LOVE to hear from you, after you’ve done about 4-5 of these sessions and see if this bodywork is as transformative for you as it was for me. I would also be interested to hear from people who’ve already attended Feldenkrais classes with a different instructor – and then tried 3 or 4 of these sessions with Donna. HOW much difference does the instructor make? It would be cool to share our experiences, so don’t be shy! Just post in the Comments section below. | |||

What’s wrong with eating raw foods? And how are bacteria just like horses?? What did your great-grandmother know that you should know too? Fascinating deep dive into the healthy gut microbiome and fermented foods with world-renowned probiotic expert, Natasha Trenev, and me: “I’m only 12 minutes in, and this is already the most lucid and accurate explanation of the ecology of gut microbiome I’ve heard discussed. It’s rare to hear even practitioners discuss the species involved as organisms, in a true ecological sense of interaction with each other and their host and shuffling for space and resources that comes with that… and the consequences to our bodies under different stages of distress. If I take a deep breath when you ask me about fermented foods, or dumping a pile of probiotics in your shake after a round of Cipro, or start explaining why you’re having a histamine reaction after your friend told you to start slamming back Kombucha like its soda pop… watch this.” – Samantha Braun, Ecotones And if audio in your car, or on your iPod is more your style, you can listen to or download the mp3 audio here: If you have any further questions for Natasha or me – just leave them in the Comments section below!

Find out what’s wrong with using enteric-coated capsules for probiotics. And why the culturing substrate (intrinsic supernatant) is so important to the functioning of the bacteria inside your body, and directly benefits your digestion. Learn about competitive exclusion; the nature of bacteria is mutual antagonism – they produce compounds to compete with any other bacteria in their environment. This environment could be a pill, a bottle, or your gut. Did you know that if you culture your own yogurt – using a powerful starter culture like Natren’s – that yoghurt will contain about 100 million c.f.u per serving? By comparison, Natren’s Healthy Trinity contains 30 billion c.f.u. per dose. Join us for this talk to discover why we need so much more beneficial bacteria today then 50 or 60 years ago.

| 24 Jul 2019 | New Crohn’s Treatment Uses Dead Bacteria to Induce Remission – Podcast! | ||
You may have read our previous blog post about Qu Biologics (Qu), a Canadian biopharmaceutical company which has been conducting an experiment to treat immune-related diseases such as cancer and Crohn’s disease. Unlike current Crohn’s treatments which suppress immune functions, dealing only with symptoms but not the actual underlying cause, Qu’s treatment restores the innate immune function – reprogramming the innate immune system to rebuild barrier function. Jini recently completed a new podcast with Qu Biologics’ own Dr. Hal Gunn, MD, and Dr. Shirin Kalyan, PhD. Dr. Gunn is a pioneer in integrative cancer therapy, and Dr. Kalyan specializes in immunology & experimental medicine. During Jini’s call with Hal and Shirin, they touched upon key points such as:
