Full show notes @ https://thesternmethod.com/carol-lourie Dr. Carol Lourie is a Naturopath, Licensed Acupuncturist, Homeopath and Functional Medicine Expert who has been working in the field of integrative and natural health care for over 30 years. Carol takes a whole-person approach to healing using integrative tools that leverage the innate healing abilities of body, mind, and spirit.   ***Resources Mentioned*** Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicines by Dana Ullman The Path of Breast Cancer  Integrative Therapeutics Laxative Formula  Smooth Move Tea Oxypowder by Global Healing Center Total Gut Protocol from Microbiome Labs MegaMucosa Natura Health Products – Digest Mend Quercetin Ascorbate, Designs for Health D-Ribose, Designs for Health *** In This Episode: I’ve been trying to get Dr. Carol Lourie on the show for a while now but for whatever reason, the stars didn’t align. Well I can tell you, it was worth the wait! I brought Carol on to talk about homeopathy and cancer but we ended up talking about so much other good stuff that’s sure to help you on your own healing journey.    We talk about various fasting protocols to help improve the effectiveness of chemo AND protect your healthy cells AND reduce nausea! We look at homeopathic remedies to reduce the side effects of chemo and radiation, and Carol shares some of the supplement brands she uses in her clinical practice. Plus you’ll get some great recipes for healing smoothies and Bieler’s broth. It’s action-packed!      Is there a reason you’ve honed in on cancer? Carol has lost family members to cancer She looked after a friend going through cancer treatment. Over18 months  every appointment Saw first hand what her friend went through and where she could help with her naturopathic skills Began studying the enormous complex topic of cancer Studied with Donnie Yance of the Mederi Foundation  Specialized in breast cancer   What conferences were you at recently? Society of Integrative Oncology – Carol presented on intermittent fasting in clinic practice Attended Advanced Applications in Medical Practice put on by Dr Paul Anderson Dr Weber from Germany talked about using laser therapy to treat cancer  Uses very thin needles in the skin to apply the laser similar to acupuncture   You are a naturopathic doctor who focuses on cancer but you also have a homeopathy specialty… Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician, discovered homeopathy in late 1800’s. Started experimenting with sulfur, phosphorus etc which he diluted until just the energy of the compound remained This process makes homeopathy very safe. It won’t interfere with other treatments    Oncologists can be resistant to anything they perceive may interfere with chemotherapy Carol aims for a positive relationship with her patients’ conventional oncologists Advises her patients to follow this protocol around chemo infusions: 2 days before infusion stop supplements and start intermittent fasting One day after infusion start intermittent fasting 2 days after, no supplements – just bone broth and Bieler’s broth If you don’t get along with your oncologist, find a new one   What is Bieler’s broth? In the 70’s Carol’s friend underwent a huge amount of radiation therapy for cancer before being told nothing more could be done for her Found a chiropractor in New York who used Iridology detoxifying diet Introduced Carol to blended salads and Bieler’s broth Bieler’s broth recipe: Green beans, zucchini, white cabbage, parsley celery, leaks, onions Cook up and blend. No salt or pepper Basic environment in the body as opposed to acidic. Cancer and disease love acidic environment Less inflammation Blended salad recipe: Equal amounts of tomato, red pepper, celery, cucumber and lettuce Blend with extra virgin olive oil and organic lemon juice Lots of phytonutrients. Easy to digest Other therapies at the clinic included: 10 day water fasting Epsom salt enemas (tbsp. Epsom salt, dissolved in boiling water and add to enema bag) Philosophy was that Epsom salts pull toxins from the lymph Clinic philosophy was to take the patient back to the ‘cellular time’ before they contracted the disease Refeed properly after a water fast, otherwise benefits are lost Purpose is to reduce sugar component in body    What is the Warburg effect? Warburg was a scientist in Germany in 1924 He discovered that cancer most often choses sugar for energy Carol works with her patients to reduce their glycemic index and starve their cancer cells of glucose Intermittent fasting is very important when preparing for chemotherapy Helps chemo become more effective. When cancer cells are starved they see the chemo and the accompanying steroids as sugar and absorb more of these. This helps protect healthy cells What is your definition of intermittent fasting? Lots of different terms: Caloric restriction – restrict your calories by 40-50% Dr. Mosley’s 5:2 diet – eating for 5 days, fasting for 2 Dr. Valter Longo recommends reducing calories and reducing what you eat Carol recommends 600-800 calories per day, two days before chemo Bone broth, veggie juice and Bieler’s broth When you have chemo you want empty intestines. Uses laxative product such as Integrative Therapeutics Laxative Formula or Smooth Move Tea Goal is almost diarrhea. Don’t want to auto intoxicate – if you have fecal material in your body and you go for chemo the toxins remain in your body longer than necessary Ryan mentions the Fasting Mimicking Diet Ryan recommends Oxypowder by Global Healing Center   Do you practice classical or clinical homeopathy or something else? Many different approaches. Carol takes the approach most relevant to the person Looks at the whole person and how that person’s ‘dis-ease’ is affecting them. Their unique symptoms No one thing is going to help cancer. It is a very serious metabolic disease. Needs a lot of different protocols put together to address metabolic imbalance e.g. nutrition, mindset, targeted supplementation, iv therapy, lifestyle etc   How do you use homeopathy to mitigate radiation side effects Homeopathic Carcinosin is a breast cancer remedy Can buy from homeopathic pharmacy or practitioner Carol does remote consultations. Practitioner list on stermmethod.com Acute homeopathy good for mitigating the symptoms of conventional treatment It’s the symptoms that are important in homeopathy, not the illness To support patients going through radiation: Avoid anti-oxidants as radiation created oxidative stress Drink miso soup – 2 cups before 2 cups after Fast before Empty your intestines prior Afterwards drink green smoothie or juice Acupuncture Take prebiotics and probiotics. Carol recommends Total Gut Protocol from Microbiome Labs This protocol includes MegaMucosa prebiotic powder  Protect your gut when having chemotherapy too One of the best things you can do to keep your counts up Carol’s patients have better blood work Remedy for radiation burns is Cantharis – 60 or 30c Only take when symptoms are present. Listen to your body and follow the symptoms. If symptoms change may need Rhus tox (better with heat) or Apis mellifica (better with ice cold), Belladonna (skin throbbing – whole being is agitated) Available from Whole Foods Dana Olman’s book on acute homeopathic remedies Banerji Protocol can be used for protection against conventional treatment but it’s very individual so you need to see a practitioner Detox combination remedies available from BioResource but Carol doesn’t use combinations in her practice   Can homeopathy reduce side effects of chemotherapy? Yes. Must go into chemotherapy well prepared by doing all that is recommended above Mint or ginger tea to decrease nausea Ipecac – for nausea Phosphorus – vomiting on food ingestion Bryonia – nauseous if move Pulsatilla – need fresh air, crying a lot Neuropathy – Alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin B6, IV vitamin C to support through radiation Hypericum – tea and homeopathic tincture for nerve pain Borax - mouth sores, healthier intestines, better response to chemo Carol recommends Natura Health Products – Digest Mend (powder)   Healing smoothie recipe 1-2 scoops of protein powder. Whey or pea isolate protein powder, keto or collagen powder – depending on your diet Whey is very anti-inflammatory with lots of immunoglobulins. Recommends Natura, Designs for Health and Xymogen Pea isolate – Xymogen, Metagenics, Designs for Health – monk fruit preferred over stevia Apex and Biotics also good brands Water or organic coconut water or unsweetened nut milk 2 tsp Quercetin Ascorbate, Designs for Health 2 tsp D-Ribose, Designs for Health (Xymogen and Biotics also) ½ avocado 1tspn dark flaxseed 1 tbsp chia seeds ½ cup berries Ice (optional) If you need to gain weight, add egg yolk, nut butter, molasses or tahini  Could also add green powder or leaves (not spinach) Put everything into a blender and blend   Any last thoughts? Intense spiritual / emotional component to this disease – really important to address this how ever you chose Without addressing this it’s hard to fully recover Follow Dr. Carol Lourie Online programme called The Path of Breast Cancer  support@thepathofbreastcancer.com If you have a question or comment about this episode let us know below!!

This is a follow-up interview with Natura-brand founder and Mederi Foundation leader Donnie Yance. He offers a closer glimpse into the spiritual side of his journey. When you listen, you will her Donnie explain how liturgy, attitudes, and theology differ in the East and West, from an approach that is more comfortable with mystery in the East to a more brain-centered process in the West; the extensive variety of the prayer process and what different approaches can mean, from one style that's particularly healthy for the vagus nerve to what theologians mean when they say being quite enough to hear "God's whisper; and how the Mederi Foundation is able to bring the spirit and body together to treat the whole person. Donnie Yance is the founder, president, lead clinician, and chairman of the Mederi Foundation. The foundation works with cancer patients in conjunction with oncologists, but also teaches quality of life healthcare and provides tips to live longer. Earlier in life, Donnie spent time at a Franciscan monastery and other spiritual centers. This time informs his current healing practice. Still a Franciscan monk of the third order, he has extensive knowledge of numerous religious practices and explains some of the more meaningful elements. He recounts details like Eastern orthodox street greetings during the Easter season to how the Beatitudes differs from the Ten Commandments.  Finally, he describes his approach at the Mederi Foundation, how he delivers a handout to clients that explains his spiritual approach and what it means to heal the whole person. For more, such as tips to live longer, see his website and a blog at https://www.donnieyance.com/ and the Mederi Foundation site at https://medericenter.org/

Renowned herbalist and nutritionist Donnie Yance talks about plant-based treatments with a focus on cancer management specifically. When you listen, you'll better understand How plants, by enduring stress during growth, develop compounds that help humans bodies handle their own stress. Why plant medicine can work together with traditional cancer treatments for more effective care, combatting issues such as drug resistance and nutritional deficits. What plant medicine can offer you in terms of tips to live longer through Mederi's five-stage system. Founder, President, Chairman, and Lead Clinician at the Mederi Center, Donnie Yance has been involved in plant medicine for decades. He founded the Natura brand to make high quality botanical medicine.  At the Mederi Center, Yance works with cancer patients and their doctors from a quality of life and healthcare perspective under a specific order: first, they focus on the health of the patient with plant medicine to strengthen their healing capacity; then, they assess and alter accordingly the patient's micro environment and how it relates to the disease; and last, they targeting the cancer after identifying its molecular characteristics. Ultimately, the goal is to create a medicinal approach that does the most harm to the unhealthy cells with the least harm to the healthy. Yance uses his extensive knowledge of extracts and botanicals to inhibit the capacity of the cancer cells to build resistant pathways. The Mederi Center also focuses on quality of life, offering tips to live longer with better healthcare.  For more, see the Mederi Center web site at https://medericenter.org/as well as a video featuring a Mederi Center patient called "That's Not Your Story" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUVu354ujnc.

On todays podcast I talk to Tim Yandlow who has been studying and using nutrition and natural medicine since 1990 both to support his clients and to keep himself well and thriving. He is a biologist and a scientist who studied a huge range of topics from energy medicine with Barbara Ann Brennan to European biological medicine, nutrition in homeopathy with Dr. Thomas Rau and so many gifted practitioners for over 25 years, so Tim is a wealth of knowledge. In 2009 he had to tap into that knowledge because he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. We dive into Tim's diagnosis and how he had to utilize all of that knowledge that he had gathered to heal himself. The story is beautiful because we are not against conventional medical technologies, drugs, surgeries and radiation or chemo. In fact there's a time and place for everything, but if we can implement the nutrition first and all of these other healing modalities, everything that's included in lifestyle medicine, we can further help heal people and we can also prevent diseases. Almost 90% of diseases could be prevent if people were to live by the lifestyle medicine principles that Tim had studied in. So jump into this podcast learn as much as you can from Tim because he's really truly a gift to be sharing his experience with us. From there we are going to dive in to what it was like after he healed himself and touch on the story about his daughter which is also a remarkable.   Connect or follow Tim on his website   Tim's joke book "A Lawyer Named Sue" is due to be released at the end of the year.

IMPORTANT: Cancer is a serious and very scary disease. I know firsthand from being with my mom through her journey and ultimately passing from cancer. A lot of people out there, from conventional doctors and researchers to very alternative people are pushing very dogmatic views of what cancer treatment should look like. I do not believe there is ONE treatment for cancer, nor that we will find a "CURE" for cancer. As we discuss below, Donnie and I believe that a holsitic approach using any and all tools and approaches is the best way to treat cancer. Cancer is not a do it yourself disease, so if you are a loved one are dealing with cancer, make sure you have a good team on your side ======== In this podcast Dr. Gerstmar & Donnie Yance discuss: -No medicines are bad, but we need to understand them, and when they are appropriate. There are people who get tremendous benefit from conventional medicine, those who they don’t help, and those who are hurt by those treatments. The same is true for all medicines -Three types of treatment for three types of cancer - Go-go (aggressive cancer = aggressive treatment), slow-go (in-between; medicines carefully considered and often treatments at lower doses or specific timing), no-go (passive, slow growing cancer = little to no treatment) -The fearful atmosphere of medicine & reasons oncologists often won’t consider alternatives -True cancer care - treating the person + treating the tumor -Cancer is not cancer. Not all cancer is the same, and each person with cancer should be treated individually. Genetics alone are not enough to create a treatment plan. Genetics have to be considered in the context of the whole person! -The nervous system is a big driver of cancer growth. Sympathetic mode drives the growth of cancer. Poor HRV (heart rate variability) is a predictor of poor cancer prognosis -Cancer must hijack the microenvironment (area around the cancer) to grow. It will be unable to grow or become problematic if it is unable to hijack the environment. We must retake control of the microenvironment - inflammation, immune system, pH, nutrients, blood clotting -The heart must be the driver and the brain must come in service to the heart -The history of herbal medicines in he US and in particular Eclectic medicine -Surgery shouldn’t necessarily be the initial treatment. You might do treatment for 6-8 weeks before doing surgery. Cancer is a systemic disease, even when the tumor is local. If whatever we’re doing is effective than the tumor is going to shrink Links: www.donnieyance.com www.mederifoundation.org Book: Adaptogens and Medical Herbalism by Donnie Yance at http://amzn.to/2hIcg8c At Aspire Natural Health we are experts at helping people with gut problems and autoimmune diseases.
