The Celiac Connection - But we didn't call it that back then.

27 years ago, two naturally oriented MD's removed all grains except rice from my son's diet. He was sick, doped up with steroids and antibiotics, and dying. My daughter and grandson cannot tolerate these foods either. Their genetic makeup is pretty much identical. Eczema, asthma, severe allergies, failure to thrive, etc, all tend to improve on a gluten free plan of action. We didn't call it Celiac Disease or gluten intolerance back then, but these two medically trained holistic docs knew thier stuff. They switched my son from cow's milk to goat's milk. I had to stop breastfeeding because I was pregnant with my daughter, and the new pediatrician recommended diet sucked the life out of my son. The simple dietary changes started to reverse diseases that have plagued my family and my husband's family for generations. Later, (mid '80s), a pediatrician in Connecticut did $10,000 in testing on my son and found he was lacking many enzymes needed to break down proteins in many foods. My newborn daughter was exactly the same. Genetics are very much at work here, as I've theorized and supported with research in my support group for decades. Now, there is scientific evidence to prove it, beyond the world of health enthusiasts. An illimination diet is the way to go with autoimmune, degenerative or any disease, because all disease feeds and thrives on inflammation. I not only illiminate gluten foods. I also eliminate high allergy foods such as corn and milk. I always encourage extensive allergy testing for clients as well. My kids/grandson are allergic to all fish/seafood, all nuts, eggs, milk and many environmental allergies. I also encourage and take allergy shots.

Acid Reflux & GERD

Improve Your Digestion and Nutrient Assimilation with 10 Simple Lifestyle Changes


Avoid antacids, especially if you have acid reflux.

Add more fermented foods to your diet, such as apple cider vinegar, organic red wine and brown rice vinegar.

Increase your citrus intake, with lemons and limes in water, tea and in freshly made lemonade, sweetened with grade B maple syrup.

Juice fresh fruits and vegetables daily. The live enzymes help to break down foods and increase nutrient absorption.

Drink aloe vera juice daily, to heal the gut and encourage good digestion.

Increase your intake of helpful bacteria with coconut kefir, fermented cabbage and supplements.

Add bacteria and parasite zapping foods and herbs to your diet, such as walnuts and herbs such as oregano and basil.

Drink pure water between meals, to flush out impurities and increase your metabolism.

Eat fresh salads daily, with dressing made with olive oil, lemon, garlic, cayenne and herbs.

Supplement with holy basil, phyllanthus and picrorrhiza daily, while detoxifying the liver at least twice a year.

You will be amazed at how the acid reflux, bloating, gas, constipation and other digestive related maladies improve with these simple to implement lifestyle changes.

Your overall health will also improve with less taxing on the organs, digestive tract and metabolism, while improving health with better nutrient absorption and assimilation. These changes also help to cleanse the blood and move stagnation in the body.

Sunrooms and Solariums

Sunrooms and Solariums
The Sun’s Healing Powers
Part 3

Modern houses have sunrooms that create a bright place to relax or have breakfast while reading a book.
In Florence Nightingale’s day, sunrooms and solariums were built to nurse people back to health. Ms. Nightingale believed in sunlight and air therapy. She designed hospital rooms to ensure patients got sufficient sunlight and air circulating through the rooms.
These sun filled rooms were in hospitals and clinics that treated deadly diseases with the healing powers of the sun.
People with tuberculosis and other deadly diseases were healing and getting better with air and light treatment, which was pioneered by Naturopath Arnold Rikli.
In the late 1800s, scientists began to take note of how sickness and disease improved with sunlight and fresh air hospital solariums.
Arthur Downes and Thomas Blunt discovered sunlight had anti-bacterial properties in 1877. Robert Koch showed in 1890 that sunlight kills bacteria.
Solariums and sunrooms became common place once these important discoveries proved that sunlight helps to heal disease.
Hospitals, clinics and even houses, were built to let the sunshine in and to circulate fresh air, to encourage health and to kill harmful and deadly bacteria, which led to disease and death.
Once antibiotics were discovered, solariums and sunrooms were no longer as popular. I always encourage clients who live in colder
climates to sit near a brightly lit, sunny window to absorb some sun into their vitiligo areas.
Sunlight encourages pigmentation in those with vitiligo. Its healing vitamin D3 helps to prevent deadly diseases such as tuberculosis,
Muscular Sclerosis, cancers, prostate and ovarian diseases, osteoporosis and heart disease. Sunlight speeds the healing process, and helps
to alleviate and prevent depression, studies show.
Soak up some sun safely.

Vitiligo -- A genetic and autoimmune disease

In the 1990's, I shared information on VSIG showing why vitiligo was more than just a benign, cosmetic disease, as conventional vitiligo experts believed. I shared research which led me to believe that vitilgo was truly an autoimmune disease and that vitiligo was genetic. I also shared information that led me to believe that vitiligo was a disease that was closely related to other more serious autoimmune and degenerative diseases.
I am happy to say, my postings on VSIG sparked a fury that fueled and funded a study that proved that vitiligo is an autoimmune disease and that vitiligo is genetic. Most importantly, this study proved that vitiligo is closely related to other far more serious autoimmune and degenerative diseases.

Children with vitiligo

Children's bodies heal and repair rapidly. It's so disheartening when parents give up, thinking there's nothing that they can do. Every child stands a very good chance of living vitiligo free, when given the proper diet and the proper nutrients on the skin. My friend Eric daughter Emily recovered most of her color, (except her feet), through dietary changes, and nutrients directly on the skin. Emily is now a college grad and teacher. A new dot of vitiligo showed up recently. I recommended picrorrhiza when Eric asked for some advice. Emily had fun during her college years and got off her regimen a little, which can encourage spreading. However, she is still a great testament to the healing powers of natural living and nutrients that encourage the body to heal itself.

One mom shared this note with me today via FB:
I have been on the list serv for about 10 years. My daughter L. is now 15 and has vit since she was 4.
