Treating Babesia and Lyme Disease

Inside Lyme Podcast with Dr. Daniel Cameron

Welcome! Today, we're discussing the treatment of Babesia and Lyme disease, focusing on real patient experiences and effective treatment strategies.I had a patient who remained chronically ill six months after treating for Lyme disease. Despite exhaustive evaluations, she was still symptomatic. Her antibody tests came back positive for Babesia, although her thick smear and PCR were negative. She believed Babesia was asymptomatic since it wasn't seen in her red blood cells, but she was very symptomatic. Babesia is a parasite transmitted by the same deer ticks that carry Lyme disease. Some patients have Babesia parasites visible in their red blood cells under a microscope, usually seen at the onset of the illness for one to two weeks. In some cases, especially in the elderly or immunocompromised, the parasite can persist longer, leading to severe illness requiring intensive care." Some Babesia patients don't experience acute, life-threatening illness and might not have visible parasites in blood smears. Instead, positive antibody tests for Babesia, such as IgM and IgG for Babesia microti or Babesia duncani, can indicate the presence of the infection. I've seen positive Babesia duncani tests even on the east coast, suggesting the need for further research. I've had patients who, despite negative tests, improved after Babesia treatment. These patients often failed treatments for Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichia, and Bartonella for months or years, unaware that Babesia could be a co-infection. For Babesia treatment, I avoid quinine and clindamycin due to their higher rate of side effects. Instead, I recommend atovaquone combined with azithromycin, which is more tolerable. Atovaquone is marketed as Malarone and Mepron in the USA. Malarone is a pill, while Mepron is a thick yellow liquid. Malarone is generally less expensive and more convenient. Malarone also comes in a pediatric dose, making it easier to tolerate for patients with an upset stomach or those concerned about a Herxheimer reaction. I usually prescribe 30 days of atovaquone, longer than the 10 days suggested by some studies, as my patients often aren't treated at the onset of their Babesia infection." I combine atovaquone with azithromycin and discuss the risks of azithromycin versus untreated Babesia. If necessary, I consult a cardiologist to rule out prolonged QT interval and treat for the same duration as atovaquone." If a patient can't take azithromycin or if there's a possibility of co-infection with Anaplasmosis or Ehrlichia, I may substitute doxycycline. For patients failing atovaquone with azithromycin, tafenoquine (Arakoda) has been introduced as an alternative. Although it's currently difficult to obtain, it has shown some success in persistent Babesia cases." Atovaquone is often covered by prescription plans, and services like GoodRx can reduce the cost to less than $80 in some communities. This makes it a viable option for many patients. Conclusion Treating Babesia is often overlooked in patients with recurrent or prolonged illnesses. With ongoing research and new treatments, there's hope for better management and outcomes for patients with Babesia and Lyme disease. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more insights on managing tick-borne diseases."

I had a patient who was quite reluctant to consider antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease after being unabIe to tolerate his initial treatment. He was able to tolerate treatment by starting. with a lower dose of antibiotics. I have patients with issues with gastroparesis, leaky gut, diarrhea, candida, yeast, constipation, and irritable bowel that has made it difficult to tolerate antibiotics. I have patients who have had a Herxheimer reaction after an antibiotic for another conditions. A Herxheimer reaction also known as Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (JHR) is a transient clinical phenomenon that occurs in patients infected by spirochetes who undergo antibiotic treatment. I have patients who cannot swallow pills and others who cannot tolerate liquids. I refer my patients to specialists as needed to determine if there is another underlying cause for their difficulties with medications. I refer to gastroenterologist if rule out other causes for stomach problems. I refer to other specialists to rule out an autonomic disorder as a cause for their stomach issues. I also have patients who are still sick after changes in their diet and alternative medicine. I review the risk of antibiotics against the risk of remaining sick with Lyme disease. Some of these patients are still unwilling to consider antibiotics. I advise my patients to avoid alcohol and processed sugars.Here are a few treatment options I have incorporated in my practice for those willing to be treated. I introduce treatment slowly. I start out with single therapy rather than combination therapy. I have started patients with 50 mg of doxycycline instead of 100 mg. I have started with 25 mg of doxycycline at times with a liquid formulation. I have lowerd the dose of cefuroxime from 500 twice a day to 250 twice a day. I have prescribed Zithromax 250 every other day or every third day as Zithromax has a long half-life. I have lower the liquid atovaquone at 750 mg twice a day to atovaquone at 250 mg twice a day or a pediatric dose of atovaquone at 62.5 twice a day. The lower doses of atovaquone are available in an oral form combined with proguanil. I have start with once a day for some patient. I typically raise the dose if tolerated. I find the lower doses helpful in some patient without having to increase the dose. I have not found intravenous ceftriaxone as helpful as I would like. IV ceftriaxone enters the stomach through the circulatory system leaving me with the same gastrointestional issues. Moreover, intravenous ceftriaxone is not the treatment of choice for tick-borne co-infections.I follow by patients starting at one month to determine if they are tolerating the lower dose and to determine their response to treatment. I advise my patient to contact me if they are having problem with tolerating the lower dose to work out a solution.

There is a misconception that detoxing is not necessary, but raising awareness about the importance of detoxing and creating the right environment for the body to heal is crucial. Detoxing can lead to Herxheimer reactions if toxins are released too quickly into the system without proper pathways for elimination, emphasising the need for a gradual and informed approach to detoxing. Each individual's detox journey is unique, and it is essential to consider factors like lifestyle, history, and current health status before embarking on a detox program. BEST MOMENTS "Detox doesn't heal anything. The body knows how to heal. The body knows how to thrive."

Episode 77: Uncovering the Hidden Dangers: Mold and Lyme Disease with Dr. Diane Mueller

Breast Implant Illness

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 1, 2024 50:30

Mold and Lyme disease are two complex issues that significantly impact the body's immune system and overall health. To manage these conditions effectively, a comprehensive approach is essential. This means addressing not only the specific infections or toxins but also supporting overall detoxification processes, boosting immune function, and correcting any underlying health imbalances. However, treating these conditions can be challenging due to the overlapping symptoms and the potential for exacerbating inflammation if not managed carefully. Today's episode features Dr. Diane Mueller, a dual doctorate holder in naturopathic medicine and acupuncture and oriental medicine, who trains physicians and clinicians worldwide, promoting a holistic approach to chronic disease treatment. Join us as Dr. Mueller shares her extensive expertise in integrating traditional and modern therapies to address complex health issues. This is surely an enlightening discussion on how to approach chronic health conditions with a balanced, comprehensive perspective. Lyme disease, symptoms, and treatment options. I remember encountering a patient struggling with Lyme Disease and mold which was ultimately linked to a ruptured breast implant. This case emphasizes the complexity of chronic inflammatory processes, including breast implant illness, where factors like functional genetics, toxin exposure, and hormone balance play crucial roles. Dr. Mueller points out that symptoms of mold illness and Lyme disease often overlap, leading to diagnostic challenges. The dormant nature of Lyme bacteria allows it to resurface in mold-infested environments, particularly in individuals with genetic predispositions to mycotoxin accumulation. Once individuals are in mold-infested homes, their immune systems become overburdened, attempting to combat the mycotoxins. This internal stress can reactivate dormant Lyme disease, similar to how chickenpox can lead to shingles, but much more severe. Patients experiencing Lyme flare-ups may present various severe symptoms, such as neurological issues. Identifying the root cause often involves differentiating between toxicity-related problems and Lyme disease, necessitating a comprehensive approach that includes detoxification and potential specialist referrals. Symptoms of mold illness and Lyme disease can be so similar that they often go undiagnosed separately. When conventional health measures and toxin removals fail to alleviate symptoms, Lyme disease may be the underlying issue. Emotional and psychological stress, such as from trauma or physical changes, can exacerbate Lyme disease by strengthening bacterial biofilms and enhancing cell-to-cell communication, leading to symptom re-emergence. A holistic approach, addressing both biological and psychological factors, is therefore crucial for effective treatment. Lyme Disease, Co-infections, and Lymphatic System To support the parasympathetic state and reduce lymphatic congestion, a specific device called a Flip Presser from New Zealand is used. This device, which includes temperature and frequency settings, enhances drainage and promotes relaxation. Additionally, hyperbaric and red light therapies are employed. Bartonella, a common co-infection with Lyme disease, is often transmitted by ticks and potentially by mosquitoes and fleas. Bartonella affects the lymphatic system, invading white blood cells and causing symptoms like lymphatic congestion and cystic lumps. Lymphatic drainage can sometimes reveal Bartonella infections if patients respond negatively to the treatment. Dr. Mueller shares her experience with Bartonella, noting that treating the infection resolved the cystic lumps on her head. That's why it's important to take into consideration co-infections like Bartonella when dealing with complex cases involving breast implant illness, mold exposure, chemical exposures, gut dysbiosis, and hormone imbalances. This entails a need for thorough investigation when symptoms do not align with initial diagnoses. How Widespread Impact on the Body's Network can lead to confusion in Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Illnesses The widespread impact on the body's network can make diagnosing and treating chronic illnesses particularly challenging. When nerve cells die or biotoxins from mold and Lyme disease impair the body's ability to grow new capillaries, it affects every part of the body. This interconnectedness can make symptoms appear unrelated, such as problems in the big toe, gut, heart, and brain, creating confusion in diagnosis. Patients often experience frustration when their symptoms are misunderstood or met with skepticism from healthcare providers. Even if symptoms don't fit traditional patterns, underlying issues such as exposure to mold or Lyme disease can still be present. For example, someone without breast implants might still face systemic problems from mold or Lyme exposure, which can activate their immune system and trigger a range of chaotic responses. Therefore, it's essential to recognize and address the broader network of symptoms and exposures for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Mold Illness, Its Causes, and the Importance of Proper Inspection and Remediation Approximately 24% of the population has a genetic predisposition to mold sensitivity, making them particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of mold toxins. This genetic susceptibility means their immune systems struggle to recognize and eliminate these toxins, leading to an accumulation in their bodies. Without the immune system's ability to tag mold toxins properly, the body cannot signal the rest of the immune system to eradicate them, resulting in chronic exposure and related health issues. Although these individuals may not always exhibit symptoms, certain triggers can activate the gene responsible for this vulnerability, leading to the manifestation of mold illness. Various factors can trigger the gene expression that leads to mold illness. These triggers can include significant life events such as trauma, stress, infections, or exposure to additional toxins. In other cases, the trigger may not be as apparent, but the cumulative effect of these factors can cause the gene to express, leading to illness. This is often observed in patients with breast implant illness, where the implants can introduce additional toxins that exacerbate the immune system's response, turning a previously manageable condition into a severe health issue. The complexity of mold illness and related conditions like breast implant illness requires a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. Considering that patients often present with a wide range of pervasive symptoms, including cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, and numerous physical ailments, there's a need for an appropriate and effective treatment involving a combination of genetic and environmental assessments, testing for co-infections such as Bartonella, and employing holistic therapies like lymphatic drainage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and red light therapy. Additionally, emotional and psychological support is essential for managing these conditions. Patients often benefit from having a partner, spouse, or loved one who can help track their progress and provide a different perspective on their improvements. Specialized mold inspection and remediation are also critical, as many inspectors lack the expertise to identify and address mold issues effectively. Patients may need to invest significantly in thorough inspection and remediation to ensure their living environment is safe. This comprehensive approach is vital for addressing the underlying causes of mold illness and related conditions, providing patients with the best chance for recovery and improved quality of life. Home Inspections, Mold, and Air Quality The role of the home environment in health cannot be overstated, especially when it comes to mold. Mold can be found in any environment, from the tropics to dry regions like Arizona. One of the biggest factors in preventing mold buildup is maintaining proper airflow. Open-air environments with constant airflow, despite being less comfortable, can be better biologically for the body compared to sealed environments with locked-in humidity. Modern building practices aimed at environmental efficiency can sometimes inadvertently promote mold growth due to poor airflow and moisture retention. Simple home maintenance practices, like ensuring proper drainage away from the foundation and adequate ventilation systems, are critical in preventing mold issues. Also, regularly opening windows and using fans can help circulate air and keep the home dry. It's essential to address even minor structural issues in the home promptly because small leaks or damage to the roof, which are often overlooked, can lead to significant mold problems over time. That's why homeowners need to prioritize fixing these issues to prevent small problems from becoming major health hazards. For renters, collaborating with property owners to ensure the structural integrity of the home is maintained is equally important. Additionally, avoiding the use of humidifiers and ensuring regular ventilation, even during extreme weather conditions, can help maintain a mold-free environment. By taking these proactive steps, individuals can create a healthier living space, reducing the risk of mold-related illnesses. Mold Toxicity and Its Impact on Health Pollen and mold are significant problems in Austin due to the mild climate that rarely gets cold enough to freeze. This leads to continuous exposure to allergens, often diagnosed as "Cedar fever." However, it's essential to consider mold as a contributing factor. Improving air quality through proper home inspections, installing air filtration systems like Jaspr and IQAir, and increasing air circulation can be beneficial in managing the symptoms. Maintaining a clean diet also plays a crucial role in reducing allergy symptoms. For instance, avoiding specific foods like eggs can alleviate hay fever-like symptoms. The liver has a limited capacity for detoxification, meaning it can only process toxins at a certain rate. Therefore, controlling the quality of the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat allows the liver to better handle toxins we cannot control. Understanding the difference between mold allergies and mold illness is crucial. Mold allergies trigger histamine release, causing symptoms like runny noses and itchy eyes, similar to other allergies. However, mold illness involves toxin buildup in the body, leading to neuroinflammation and other severe health issues. Patients often request mold tests from their general practitioners after discussions about mold-related issues but are frequently tested only for mold allergies. Mold allergies are different from the toxic buildup caused by mold, which standard allergy tests do not detect. To identify mold toxins, specialized testing like that done by Vibrant Wellness is needed. Note that misunderstanding this difference can result in incorrect diagnoses and untreated symptoms. Consulting specialists with expertise in mold-related health problems is thus crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Treating Lyme Disease and Mold Toxicity in a Safe and Effective Manner Many patients come to us frustrated after trying numerous treatments with various providers, often without success. In fact, Dr. Mueller and I frequently see cases involving mold and Lyme disease or breast implant illness. This extensive experience equips us with specialized expertise. When addressing complex issues like these, it's crucial to have deep knowledge and curiosity, as we do. Dr. Diane, for instance, is an expert in mold and Lyme disease, while I specialize in breast implant illness. Patients often feel relieved upon receiving a diagnosis, eager to treat everything at once, but this approach can backfire, causing increased inflammation and slowed treatment progress. It's essential to prioritize foundational health aspects first. Ensuring balanced thyroid function, adequate adrenal hormones and a robust micronutrient profile provides the necessary support for the body before tackling root causes like mold and Lyme. Typically, it's more effective to address mold before Lyme. Mold exposure can produce a significant amount of biotoxins that the liver must process. If the liver is already burdened by other toxins, adding more from Lyme treatment can overwhelm it, leading to worsened symptoms due to toxin buildup. By reducing the body's toxic load and improving liver function first, we can better manage the subsequent treatment of Lyme and other infections, minimizing adverse reactions and promoting a more effective healing process. Sauna Use and Detoxification for Breast Implant Illness A patient who frequently used a dry sauna at extremely high temperatures, up to 200 degrees, experienced severe Herxheimer reactions due to heavy metal exposure from degrading breast implants. This intense heat led to the leaching of harmful chemicals from the implants, worsening symptoms such as neurological and thyroid issues. Herxheimer reactions occur when detoxification processes overwhelm the body, causing symptoms to worsen as toxins are mobilized. It's crucial to approach detoxification with caution to prevent these adverse effects. Excessive methods, such as high-temperature saunas, can exacerbate inflammation and delay recovery. Gradual and carefully monitored detoxification is preferred to manage symptoms effectively and avoid severe reactions. A measured approach to detox, avoiding extreme measures, allows for better symptom management and progress. Starting with low-intensity methods and slowly increasing them helps prevent severe Herxheimer reactions and supports more effective recovery. This careful strategy ensures that the body can handle detoxification without becoming overwhelmed.

Have you ever wondered if your detox routine is actually supporting your longevity goals? In today's episode of the Longevity podcast, Dr. Chris Shade shares a crucial insight: toxins don't just make you feel bad; they actually accelerate the aging process. We discuss the importance of detoxification for longevity and overall well-being. We emphasize the need to open the doors of detoxification before initiating any detox protocol and highlight the role of the liver, kidneys, bile flow, and drainage pathways in the detoxification process. Our conversation explains the concept of Herxheimer reactions and provides insights into how to manage them. We talk about the use of specific supplements, such as liposomes, binders, bitters, and progesterone, to support detoxification and address specific issues like mold exposure and viral infections. Overall, Dr. Shade shares the importance of detoxification for longevity and health. Dr. Chris Shade is the founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific. As an industry thought leader, his vast knowledge, intuitive understanding of chemistry and biology, and passion for wellness are reflected in our innovative supplement delivery systems, detoxification protocols, and patented mercury speciation and heavy metals tests.

Rebalancing your gut is a transformative experience but it's important to know that sometimes symptoms get worse before they get better. For some people, rebalancing can bring about uncomfortable symptoms that may seem counterproductive. This phenomenon is known as die-off, or a Herxheimer reaction. While it might feel discouraging, it's actually a sign that your body is healing.The term "die-off" or Herxheimer reaction refers to the process where harmful bacteria, yeast, parasites, mold and other pathogens in your gut die in large numbers. When you start taking Cleanse and Nourish and eliminate the foods that feed these undesirable overgrowths, they begin to die. As this happens, they release toxins into your body, which can lead to a temporary worsening of symptoms. These symptoms can include:HeadachesFatigueDigestive discomfort (bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation)Joint or muscle painSkin rashesAnd most common, the worsening of whatever symptom you had in the first placeHow long does it last? And what should you expect if you are pregnant or breastfeeding? Will the toxins pass through your placenta or breastmilk? Tune into this episode for tips to support your body through this process and embrace the healing that awaits on the other side.Links from episode:Episode 101: How to Prepare Your Body for CleansingThe Children's Gut Rebalance KitThe Women's Gut Rebalance KitBalance CBDThanks for listening!

Today I am addressing the "early steps" in combatting Lyme or mold. So, I begin by diving into the phenomenon of Herxheimer reactions, elucidating its occurrence following antimicrobial therapy initiation for Lyme disease. Through this, I explore the intricate interplay between microbial factors, such as the release of endotoxins (LPS), and host immune responses, leading to a cascade of inflammatory reactions. Moreover, I provide practical strategies that may help mitigate Herxheimer reactions, including gradual dose titration, anti-inflammatory supplementation, binders, baths, and support for the body's natural detoxification pathways (liver, lymph, kidneys, and more). Topics: 1. Understanding Herx Reactions - Definition and Manifestation - General Overview of Symptoms 2. Underlying Mechanisms of Herx Reactions - Host Immune Responses - Microbial Factors 3. Microbial Factors in Herx Reactions - Release of Endotoxins - Role of Gram-Negative Bacteria - Impact on Immune Response (LPS) - Example: Lyme Disease as a Model 4. Inflammatory Response - Pro-inflammatory Cytokines - TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β - Immune Response Propagation - Vasodilation - Vascular Permeability - Immune Cell Recruitment 5. Acute-Phase Response - Ex: Induction of Fever via the Hypothalamus - Systemic Manifestations and Other Symptoms 6. Phagocytic Immune Cells - Macrophages - Antigen Presentation - Cytokine Release - Neutrophils - Role in Early Innate Immune Response 7. Transition to Adaptive Immune Response - Specificity - Role of T Cells and B Cells - Immunological Memory 8. Implications of Inefficient Adaptive Immune Response Activation - Chronic Infection and Inflammation - Cause: Disruption in Antigen Presentation 9. Biotoxin Illness and Genetic Factors - Role of HLA Genes - Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome 10. Mitigating Herx Reactions - Slow Titration of Antimicrobial Therapy - Reducing Inflammation: Omega-3s, SPMs, Curcumin, Quercetin, Ginger, Boswellia, etc. - Supporting Clearance Pathways - Liver, Lymph, Kidneys - Hydration and Proper Elimination - Epsom Salt Baths - Use of Binders: Activated Charcoal, Chlorella, Cholestyramine etc. Thank you to our episode sponsor: ⁠Check out The Honest Tooth Here!⁠ Thanks for tuning in!

144: All About Magnesium: Frequently Asked Questions About Magnesium

A Parenting Resource for Childrenâ€™s Behavior and Mental Health

Magnesium plays a crucial role in detoxification and numerous chemical processes in the body. Magnesium deficiency is not just a matter of mineral imbalance; it has profound implications for cognitive and mental health as it is closely linked to cognitive and mental health issues like attention problems, anxiety, and depression. Understanding and addressing magnesium deficiency is crucial for promoting mental and emotional wellness, thus underscoring the vital importance of maintaining appropriate magnesium levels in the body. It is therefore important that we discuss all about magnesium so as to provide more insights about it.Magnesium's role in neurotransmitters and detoxification.Magnesium plays a crucial role in neurotransmitter function, particularly with serotonin and GABA. These neurotransmitters are vital for managing stress, attention, and mood. As we know, serotonin is essential for mood regulation, whereas GABA helps control excitatory neurotransmitter activity. If you're maintaining a healthy diet like me, it's still important to take magnesium as it helps smooth out these processes. Personally, it makes me feel calm since it helps with the balance of excitatory neurotransmitters.Magnesium also supports neuroplasticity. The brain's hubs influence conditions like ADHD and learning disabilities but I want to emphasize that it's not just about structural issues but also about the connections and communication within the brain. This is why some individuals don't respond well to medications. Thus, we should explore alternatives like magnesium, meditation, neurofeedback, and counselling before resorting to medication.Generally, magnesium is safe, but you should still be cautious if you have detoxification issues. Detoxification reactions may vary but it can likely make you feel unwell. In fact, there's something called a Herxheimer reaction, which occurs during infectious disease detoxification. Improper detoxification can be a significant barrier to mental health, and it's essential to be mindful of genetic variants and the overall health of your system. It is thus important to always consult with your healthcare provider. Magnesium supplements and their benefits for brain health.I've been a passionate advocate of magnesium for over three decades, and it's because I've seen the positive impact it can have on individuals, particularly children. In fact, there are various types of magnesium and in our "Multi-Mag Brain Formula", we've carefully selected different forms like magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium L-threonate, which can even cross the blood-brain barrier and have shown incredible benefits in improving attention, cognitive functioning, managing stress, anxiety, and mood.To complement magnesium, vitamin D and zinc are excellent choices. Vitamin D has become increasingly important especially when COVID-19 pandemic happened. The good news is that we're working on Brain Basics which will include essential nutrients I frequently recommend so make sure to watch out for that. When to take magnesium?Considering that there are various forms of magnesium, the best time to take magnesium depends on the type you're using. For our formula, taking it at night is common as it can help prepare for sleep and promote relaxation. If you're dealing with anxiety, you might consider the possibility of taking magnesium more than once a day to effectively manage your symptoms. In fact, many of my clients have reported significant benefits from incorporating an extra dosage in the morning or midday to further enhance their anxiety relief. This practice has proven to be a valuable addition to their daily routine, contributing to a notable improvement in their overall sense of well-being and mental health.Magnesium supplements crafted for mental wellness.Our...

A Herxheimer reaction (aka die-off) is essentially when a new protocol makes you feel worse before you start to feel better. This often gets confused with intolerance, which makes sense when gauging how a new protocol makes you feel. But to make sure you aren't jumping ship on a protocol that may actually be working for you, it's important to learn how to recognize the difference between die-off and intolerance.

There are Some Common Causes Why Children With Autism Have Trouble Focusing, however, as we do this there are natural supplements that can assist. We will discuss both. Know I am here to help you on this journey. Natural Supplements to Help Focus and Behavior Prescription medications come with negative side effects. There are natural ways to work with focus and attention issues. Always check with your practitioner for individual dosage needs. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential to brain function, concentration, and mood, energy, and they are anti-inflammatory. Take with food for best absorption. L-tyrosine is an amino acid that will help the ability to focus. It builds the neurotransmitter called dopamine. Take away from food. Do not use it if your child is in a PANS flare. SAMe helps with motivation 5HTP is beneficial for mood stability and better sleep (5HTP helps makes neurotransmitter called serotonin). Note: 5HTP works so well that you should not take it if you are on medications. Take away from food. Gingko Biloba for focus and memory Phosphatidylserine is a natural phospholipid compound found in high concentrations in the brain. Supplementation has shown improvements in thinking skills and memory. These next two have strong caveats with them so let me explain further… Probiotics Probiotics build good bacteria in the gut. This also crowds out the bad bacteria which interfere with immunity and clear thinking. You must start slowly with probiotics due to a die-off reaction that happens when too many bad bacteria die at once and release their toxins. Half of a capsule is plenty to begin as you watch for symptoms. Reduce the dosage if symptoms arise. Parents are rarely educated in the essential knowledge of die off reactions that can happen from detoxifying too rapidly and not having enough proper toxin support binders in place. When yeast “dies off” it releases toxins that can enter your bloodstream. This is also known as Herxheimer's reaction. It means that the liver cannot keep up with filtering out the toxic waste being released by the dying pathologic organisms. Symptoms of die off include irritability, headaches, fatigue and flu-like symptoms. Some people also experience either diarrhea or constipation.There may be heightened emotional outbursts or hyperactivity...

Introduction In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we had the pleasure of interviewing Jimmy Pemberton, a successful entrepreneur, musician, and Lyme Disease warrior. Early Life and Lyme Disease Awareness Born and raised just north of Lyme, Connecticut, Pemberton was aware of Lyme disease and its typical symptoms, such as fatigue and achy joints. However, his understanding of the disease was minimal until his own journey unfolded. As an athlete, and particularly as a golfer, he encountered ticks quite often, but he never suspected the significant impact they would eventually have on his life. Career and Pre-Lyme Life Pemberton led a fulfilling, hybrid life of building or helping others build companies, playing gigs in front of large audiences, and teaching students. The sense of fulfillment and excitement in his life started to change when his health took an unexpected turn. The Onset of Lyme Disease Symptoms Pemberton experienced a decline in his health shortly after taking a COVID-19 vaccine. He began to experience flu-like symptoms, which gradually escalated. Within 7-8 days post-vaccination, Pemberton started to feel unusually sick. The symptoms took a toll on him, both physically and emotionally, resulting in him ending up in the ER. Diagnosis Journey In the ER, doctors took notice of Pemberton's symptoms and suspected Lyme disease. A nurse practitioner, Beth Galon, suspected that Pemberton had Lyme for a while, and his immune system could no longer keep control over the Lyme post-vaccination. A subsequent IGeneX test confirmed his diagnosis of Lyme disease and Bartonella. Emotional Impact and Support The diagnosis and debilitating symptoms left Pemberton in a constant state of fight-or-flight, impacting his emotional well-being. However, he found comfort and validation in his regular appointments with his chiropractor, who was aware of his changes and consistently reassured him of his progress. The Healing Journey Pemberton began his healing journey with a slow start, avoiding pushing his body too hard. His healing process included regular sauna sessions to detoxify his body and lessen the Herxheimer reaction. He also found relief in cold water immersion therapy, which helped in resetting his nervous system. Spiritual Healing Pemberton also found solace in spiritual healing practices like meditation and Reiki. He turned to meditation to connect his mind, body, and spirit, while Reiki helped align his electromagnetic field, creating space for his body to heal. The Role of Nutrition and Exercise Proper nutrition and exercise played a crucial role in Pemberton's healing journey. He followed an anti-inflammatory diet and maintained a regular workout regimen. His functional medicine doctor ensured regular blood work every four to six months to monitor his hormones and vitamin and mineral levels. Current Status and Future Plans Currently, Pemberton is in remission and has resumed his regular life. He is determined to use his experience to help others battling Lyme disease. He believes in the importance of emotional support for Lyme patients and recommends resources like the Tick Boot Camp Podcast to guide them through their journey. Conclusion Pemberton's journey with Lyme disease is a testament to his resilience and determination. He highlights the importance of a multi-faceted approach to healing, incorporating physical, emotional, and spiritual practices. Despite the challenges, Pemberton continues to thrive and uses his experience to inspire and guide others on their healing journeys.

Welcome and Introductions: Stephen Davis, a guest on our Tick Boot Camp Podcast, shares his experiences with Lyme disease and the frequency delivery program on the WAVE 1, using the proven science of bioenergetics. Co-hosting the special interview with Matt is Ali Moresco, a close friend and a prominent figure in the Lyme community. Getting Into the Weeds of Frequencies: Before diving into the details, we discuss the last podcast Ali co-hosted with Rich, featuring Professor Schneider from Stanford University. The discussion centered around the use of wearables in diagnosing and potentially treating Lyme disease. Stephen Davis's Background and Journey with Lyme Disease: Stephen shares his background growing up in tick-infested Saskatchewan, and how he discovered bioenergetics as a means to help with Lyme and tick-borne diseases. He shares the heartbreaking story of his daughter's struggle with undiagnosed Lyme disease and how this led him to research and develop frequency programs, designed to restore her health. Exploring Healing through Frequency Application: Stephen shares how his grandsons, previously burdened by Lyme disease, severe ADHD, and autism, experienced a transformative recovery. Through the innovative use of frequencies, their debilitating symptoms vanished, unveiling a window of opportunity to heal and overcome. The Birth of FREMEDICA and WAVE 1: Stephen explains the birth of FREMEDICA and the development of the WAVE 1 device, which harnesses the powers of bioenergetics. He shares how his first trial of the device resulted in significant improvements in his daughter's and grandchildren's health. How Frequencies Work for Wellness: Stephen describes how frequency application works by essentially helping the immune system recognize pathogens and kick into gear to eliminate them. His Frequency Support Program on WAVE 1 offers information designed to strengthen the body, allowing it to target and eliminate the harmful substances inside our cells. Dealing with Herxheimer Reactions: Stephen talks about Herxheimer reactions, a common symptom experienced by those undergoing treatment for Lyme disease. He discusses how FREmedica addresses this issue in their programs to help patients cope. The Power of Lyme Support Groups: Stephen shares his experiences in contacting Lyme support groups and offering devices for trial. He believes the proof of the program's effectiveness lies in the user's experiences and recovery. Addressing Concerns About Frequencies: Stephen clarifies the difference between harmful frequencies, such as those from 5G and Wi-Fi, and the wellness frequencies used in FREmedica's technology. He assures listeners that their frequency delivery system is designed to benefit and not harm the body. WAVE 1's 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: Stephen talks about WAVE 1's program as a gradual progression towards wellness and their money-back guarantee policy. Their 30 Day return option demonstrates confidence in its effectiveness. Launch of WAVE 2: Stephen anticipates the launch of WAVE 2, an upgrade from the WAVE 1 device, with more functionalities. He shares his excitement about the launch and the potential it holds for helping more Lyme patients. FREmedica's Cost-Effective Solution: Stephen reflects on the cost of the devices and how it compares favorably to other practices like ozone therapy. He believes that the affordability and effectiveness of FREmedica's technology make it an excellent option for Lyme patients. Conclusion: Stephen closes the podcast by expressing his passion for helping Lyme patients and his commitment to continue improving FREmedica's technology. He extends his gratitude to the hosts and the listeners for their time and attention.

Detox has become a bit of a buzz-word so I wanted to clarify and explain a few things about what that actually means. Liver detoxification has 3 phases, but if you go through the first 2 phases too fast or skip the 3rd phase, you'll get side effects from a Herxheimer reaction. The Herxheimer reaction occurs when your liver has broken down toxins into intermediate substances, but your body is unable to get rid of them completely, so your immune system reacts.I have a series on my blog about cleansing and detoxing your life, which goes into some detail about this also: https://www.wholisticnaturalhealth.com.au/cleanse-your-life-p1/DoTERRA Wellness Advocate At Wholistic Natural Health Australia, we often recommend the use of high quality essential oils.

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.

If you've ever tried to treat chronic health issues and experienced a major 2-3 day flare-up then you've probably suffered from a Herx reaction. This reaction occurs due to whatever organism you're killing (parasites, Bartonella etc) suddenly releasing toxins into your bloodstream. Common symptoms include: Headaches, skin breakouts, fatigue, nausea, joint pain, and general flu-like symptoms. It can happen at any time, but happens far more commonly if you've started treating the toxins before effectively opening up your drainage pathways. This is why it's so important to treat chronic health issues in the right order! If you do experience a Herx reaction, immediately stop taking whatever the “killing” agent is to let the reaction clear. Then reassess if you've opened up your drainage pathways enough to continue the killing phase. Or maybe you just need to add more binders, or sweat more consistently. You'll also want to make sure you're feeding your mitochondria with enough energy (that's why I put all of my chronically ill patients on the Cellcore products BC-ATP and CT-Minerals). Then when you've recovered and you're ready to try again, titrate the killing agent slowly. For example if you were taking 10 drops of something, start with 1 drop and only increase after a few days of successfully handling each dose.

Haleigh Hekking is a 24-year-old model turned actor from Los Angeles, California, who's now become a fierce advocate in the Lyme community after her personal experience with the disease. Prior to Lyme completely changing her life, Haleigh was very social, focused on her career, and ran 5 miles a day. At the young age of 21, Haleigh had tingling hands and feet, shortness of breath, and fatigue resulting in a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) misdiagnosis. Haleigh was treated with "bubble ozone" and IV colloidal silver which relieved all her symptoms. About a year later, Haleigh just finished working on a show as a recurring character, was cast in a new movie, and then a "perfect storm" hit her causing her health to decline so much that she had to stop working. Haleigh was bedbound and had to move back in with her parents who once again became her caregivers. Her doctor suspected Lyme, but after an indeterminate Labcorp test and a subsequent IGeneX test resulting in a positive Lyme disease diagnosis, a positive Bartonella diagnosis, and an indeterminate Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF) diagnosis, her doctors still wouldn't officially diagnose her with any tick-borne illness. Haleigh finally found a doctor who properly diagnosed her and added Borrelia miyamotoi to the list of tick-borne illnesses. She was treated with prescription antibiotics and antivirals, as well as an herbal regimen of natural antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-modulating ingredients. Unfortunately, she experienced an extreme Herxheimer reaction and after treatment, she didn't feel any better. Haleigh then underwent a dark period where she didn't leave her room and she thought she was going to die. After a few months, Haleigh started to reengage doctors to seek help and found a game-changer treatment. Today, Haleigh is working with her new doctor on her next round of treatment and she's hopeful for the future. She is using her time and energy to advocate for the Lyme community and she plans on using her platform as an actor to bring attention to tick-borne disease. If you'd like to learn how a determined young actor who was featured in the popular movie Plane that just dropped refused to give up and is now changing the Lyme community, then tune in now!

ORN Dr. Jennifer Daniels show notes 10/24/22 Part one It's all about balance. Vegetables only and meat only for too long will make you ill. Experiment and try out diet stuff for yourself. Gout – probably not enough water or vegetables. Exhausted, tired, adrenal fatigue – eat more meat and liver. If meat is clean, most ill effects are from lack of water. The Netherlands proposed to kill 30% of livestock because of nitrogen in manure. In New Zealand, taxing animal emissions. Hidden documents prove globalists want to take over Russia. Globalists plan to Inflate their way out of the debt. Taking away meat is a war on the health of individuals. Don't want them to have the nutrients that make them mentally and physically strong. Insects provide physical but not mental strength. Health of ankles, legs, hips determine how well we age. Freeze tendons flat, cook in crockpot overnight on high. Cook meniscus with them. Chitin from insects said to be toxic to humans. Sensitivity to chitin happens when person doesn't have enough cholesterol. Use TREAT20 code for 20% off sale on Surthrival Colostrum. Breast lumps from caffeine. Stop coffee, take shilajit. Lipomas are a parasite. Poop 3 times a day, drink plenty of water. What we call aging is the process of parasites taking over the body. Herxheimer reaction happens when liver is trying to filter parasites and gets clogged. Effective ivermectin dosing is once a year. Rash is the toxins coming out of the skin that the liver can't handle. Best result with turpentine is once a month. See Candida Cleaner Report at VitalityCycles.com. Carly gets breast pain the day after ovulation. Increase cholesterol intake to increase internal barriers. Liver, bull testicles, brain are good cholesterol sources, take 2x/week. Eggs have cholesterol but don't have the minerals and nutrients to take advantage of the cholesterol. Soak liver in milk for a day before cooking to get rid of strong taste. Listener complains that her good diet isn't working for her anymore. Do stretches to get things moving. Tammy has heart racing, arrhythmia, shortness of breath, palpitations, swollen ankles, pulsing lip. Measure how much water you're drinking, increase by 1 liter. Need more salt. Black squid ink in broth every day, heel lifts, tippy toe raises. Robert asks about brown spots on the face. Caused by weak liver, not enough connective tissue. Increase intake of tendons, pig ears, hydration, poop 3 times/day. Is it okay to have rabbit pellets poop? Yes. Why do people over 70 have trouble sleeping through the night? Problem is parasites having exponential growth. Take ivermectin once a month, or turpentine twice a week. Concern about huge doses of THC in medical marijuana. Smoking it is harmless, but the pill is not natural. Don't want the FDA regulating it. Receding gums – take cow tendons and connective tissue. Boil up a cow or pig head. Beef, pork, or buffalo liver, boil up organs.

Key Ideas: Toxins are disrupting your body's processes and overloading your natural detox systems. True detoxing treats the root causes of your health issues. Anyone can experience exposure to chemicals and compounds that require detoxing. The Herxheimer reaction, also known as the detox flu, is an indication that you don't have the proper drainage support and binders in place to safely remove toxins.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about the use of Induced Native Phage Therapy in dealing with chronic infections. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. David Jernigan. David Jernigan, DNM, DC is one of the country's top innovators of precision bioenergetic testing and treatment technologies, with his most recent innovation, INPT (Induced Native Phage Therapy) possibly being one of his most important technologies to date. He is constantly pushing the limits of research and development with a passion to get ever closer to 100% cure rate. He was the first to publish a book on the natural treatment of people suffering from post-treatment Lyme Disease and is a published author of five books, with his best-seller being, “Beating Lyme Disease, 2nd Edition”. He is nationally recognized as a leader in the purest form of medical treatment philosophy, Biological and Bioregulatory Medicine. For 27 years, Dr. Jernigan and his team of doctors have only treated the toughest cases, with almost 90% of patients coming from other states and countries for his unique testing and treatments. He has trained doctors to utilize his powerful new technologies in his flagship clinic, the Biologix Center for Optimum Health, in Franklin, Tennessee, specializing in the treatment of chronic illness and previously considered incurable cases. Key Takeaways: What are phages and where do they originate? How difficult is it to find phages in our environment? Are phages always health-promoting? How does a phage lead to the demise of an organism? Does each bacteria or bacterial species have its own phage? How does INPT induce native phages? Can multiple phages be induced simultaneously? Does INPT lead to Herxheimer reactions? What was the success rate with INPT in a recent research paper? Do lab tests exist for Borrelia phages? Bartonella? Others? Can phages be used to address fungal colonization from exposure to water-damaged buildings? Are phages helpful in addressing Candida overgrowth? Might a phage be helpful in addressing MARCoNS? Do phages work for parasites? Can phages deal with viruses such as EBV or Herpes Zoster? Does the right phage for the triggering infection bring resolution to conditions believed to be autoimmune?

She uses Hair Mineral Analysis and other functional medical tests to design custom protocols for her clients. Wendy is also the host of the popular Myers Detox Protocol Podcast and co-host of the Supercharged Podcast with Harry Massey. Wendy's interest in nutrition began with the death of her father from esophageal cancer. Intuitively, she knew his chemo, radiation, and ten medications played a role in his premature death. It became her mission to find out what made him sick, why he died, what role medications played in his demise, and how she could avoid the same fate. The more Wendy learned, the more she realized that food, detoxification and natural healing modalities must be used to compliment the advances in modern medicine.

HOUR 1 Important Nutrients for Immune Support-Silver-- Carolyn Dean MD ND In May 2018 we introduced Pico Silver, our 20ppm concentration of stabilized silver ions in solution to our customers around the world and the results have actually exceeded our expectations! In fact, Pico Silver has become one of our customer's most favorite immune boosting formulas. You see, when you introduce stabilized ions of minerals into your body incredible things begin to happen. And, as the benefits of silver are well documented in medical literature, the benefits of a stabilized, ionic form of silver in Pico Silver make those same results even more powerful and immediate! It can be confidently declared and scientifically proven that the silver ion is far safer than antibiotics or any other antimicrobial ever created. It's still the go-to formula for healing even severe skin burns and preventing infection. In this regard, allopathic medicine knows that the characteristics of the silver ion far exceed the capabilities of patented antibiotics. Also, antibiotics cannot keep up with bacterial organisms' ability to mutate, nor do antibiotics work against viruses. In addition, antibiotics have many side effects, such as yeast infections. This is because antibiotics travel deep into the intestinal tract, where they kill the good bacteria along with the bad. It is also known and documented that taking antibiotics over a long period of time weakens the body's immune system. Here are some more fun facts about Pico Silver: Silver As A Nutrient Silver can be considered as a necessary nutrient in the body because it is systematically concentrated in the body to a much higher level than occurs in nature. Since most minerals have been proved to be depleted from our soil and water, the same can be said for silver. White Blood Cells and Silver It has been shown by various bodies of research on yeast overgrowth that infectious organisms have gained the upper hand and overwhelm our ability to keep them under control. Silver ions weaponize white blood cells (WBCs) to do their work. Silver assists the WBCs and the immune system to attack infectious organisms. Characteristics of Silver Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal. Silver ions are highly effective and the body's response is nearly instantaneous. The silver ion is an integral and important part of the body's immune system response to infections and disease. The DNA of the body is already pre-programmed to utilize silver to fight infections and disease. Silver ions are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to all of the tissues of the body and stored on the surface of white blood cells. The silver ion is bonded to the surface of adult stem cells and causes dedifferentiation of the adult stem cells into the embryonic state leading to tissue regeneration. New, healthy tissue growth is at least five to six times faster utilizing silver in wound treatment when contrasted with non-silver-treatment. The silver ion aids the body's ability to “find” the focal point of treatment, through the body's cell signaling mechanisms – its electrical conductivity. The silver ion aids the body's ability to “digest” the pathogen. The silver ion aids the body in the correction of the associated complex metabolic consequences associated with long-term infectious states. The effects of the silver ion in anti-aging approaches is very promising although clinical research has not been fully funded. The silver ion has a beneficial effect upon co-infections simultaneously. The silver ion will readily pass the blood-brain barrier, allowing for interface and intervention with neurological diseases such as ALS, MS, polio, spinal meningitis, and viral encephalitis. The silver ion increases the Red Blood Cell count. The silver ion is known to negatively affect bacteria through: lethal oxidation, an “intermolecular electron transfer,” resulting in electrocution; a binding and chelating to essential pathogen receptor sites, which defeats the pathogen's mechanisms of invasion into host cells; an ion non-dependent heightened catalytic action; and cleavage, which fragments (and thereby destroys) essential pathogen/proteinaceous structures. Once the silver ion ruptures a bacterial staph infection or certain fungal infections, the remaining silver ion particles begin to act as an antidote to the resulting poisons lessening the Herxheimer reaction. The silver ion has a very high therapeutic value because there is no known lethal dose for silver ions. Our customers are raving about the benefits of our Pico Silver. Here is one of numerous examples from Joan, a long-time customer. Years of happy marriage to a "smoker" created in me a chronic dry smoker's cough, back to back sinus infections spanning several decades and even now 7 years as a widow, I still hack as if I was the smoker. I began to add Pico Silver to my daily routine and I found myself just adding a teaspoon here and there throughout the day...not really aiming towards anything specific...but specific things magically happened: 1. Bleeding gums from rigorous brushing stopped. 2. My morning hacking sessions (rib banging)went from dry to extremely wet, where I let go of a lot of lingering mucus in my lungs which is now being expectorated appropriately. 3. I am normally do not sweat, but I began to sweat ... which kept my body temperature from spiking hot to cold, and back...I just felt great. 4. I no longer have ankle swelling in the heat which has been my norm. 5. I seemed to be able to actually control my bladder when caught short...with a mental command and it obeys. 6. Lastly, my taste buds woke up...everything is just delicious and I'm satisfied with smaller quantities. And I have lost 2 lbs without doing anything but adding Pico Silver throughout my day to my sea-salted water. This I attribute to the increased neurological impulses that Dr. Dean says silver amplifies as it works alongside ReMag and ReMyte! Thank you so much, Dr. Dean.

We offer ideas of ways to connect with what is ‘yes' or what our own truth feels like in our body or in our experience. We discuss how this is an exciting time as it is an invitation to grow beyond where we're at now. We liken this time to the great detox and what we often experience as the Herxheimer reaction when we're making progress. We talk about the importance of joy and allowing ourselves to feel this as a means to take us to a healthier state. Learning and growing can be joyful. We can achieve accelerated growth if we embody the lessons and principles we offer our children. We agree on how powerful it is to focus on the things that make us feel good and inspired, how this improves our inner state, which reflects outward. When we focus on what we wish to unfold in our lives, we at times will come up against how we get in our way, and this is the work of the healing path to achieve those things. We talk about the fact that when we aren't ready to do this kind of work that the opportunities will continue to present themselves in our lives until we are ready or until we do. We talk about defensiveness, what we can learn from it and how we can respond in better ways that lead to better outcomes.

Today on the SuperFeast podcast, Mason chats to holistic health coach and nutrition response testing practitioner Vanessa Fitzgerald about her healing journey with addiction, Orthorexia, Hashimoto's, and navigating her platform as a wellness influencer. What I loved most about this conversation was Vanessa's realness, discussing everything from her 13-year Adderall (prescription amphetamine) addiction to the pervasiveness of Orthorexia among people working in the wellness industry. Her candid approach to wellness is something Vanessa's known for, often using her influencer platform to talk about the uncomfortable truths that come with all facets of mind/body healing. Vanessa opens up about her work as a holistic wellness practitioner and why she's so passionate about helping others heal themselves from addiction, PCOS, mental illness, and auto-immune, the way she did herself. Make sure you tune in for this authentic conversation. "We're not healing you, you're healing yourself, but as practitioners, we're guiding you there. When I found this, I had never felt that good in my life. All my auto-immune issues started to reverse, and everything just felt better. And this is why I am so passionate about what I do". - Vanessa Fitzgerald Mase and Vanessa discuss: Adderall detoxing. Autoimmune healing. Perfectionism burnout. Addiction and withdrawal. Healing the gut; food as medicine. SOT chiropractic technique for post addiction. Nutrition Response Testing for the nervous system. Supporting the brain and nervous system through withdrawals. Orthorexia; a common eating disorder in the wellness industry. Ashwagandha and other tonic herbs for healing and rebuilding post addiction. Who is Vanessa Fitzgerald?

I wish I was actually physically in Australia, but this will do for now. Mason: (00:09) Yeah, you're feeling that you've been watching ... living vicariously through us, living in the- Vanessa: (00:14) Yeah. FOMO and Instagram, just watching all my Aussie friends move back home, and it just looks fabulous beach life, the food. I don't know. It feels nice. Mason: (00:24) You don't get arrested for going surfing. Vanessa: (00:27) That's nice. Mason: (00:28) That's nice. It's really nice. Vanessa: (00:31) That's really nice. Mason: (00:34) Verse LA, which is a crazy state. Vanessa: (00:36) Very crazy. Very crazy. Mason: (00:39) Yeah. It's like you guys are ... you're still at the epi-centre, that was always still like a magnet for the melting pot of LA where everything that has ... everything that comes over from any wisdom tradition intersects with the Western world mostly through LA, and it's just weird stew of figuring out how to integrate it without misappropriating and blah, blah, blah, you guys. I mean, it's a fun place to be, and then- Vanessa: (01:08) Oh, totally. But there's a bunch of misappropriation left and right. Everybody thinks that they've discovered the cure, which is usually from some other ancient tradition. Mason: (01:19) I mean, I talk about this a lot, and I know I've talked to you about influences and navigating that world and the pressure to become a mega expert and find the cure. I can only stay in LA for, I don't know, two weeks before I get- Vanessa: (01:38) Spontaneously combust? Mason: (01:40) Yeah. Pretty much. I mean, I get counter-cultured to the wellness saying in which I live in, and I'm like, ah, no, no, I just had this existential crisis. But I mean, how do you navigate all that? I mean, because you're moving and shaking, you seem to be doing it in a really centred way, and I want to talk about how it came about through the Adderall, real ... that's just on a hand on heart, authentic sharing, that's serious shit, getting that out there and helping people go through that. But how do you hold your centre in the Lala wellness waves? Vanessa: (02:15) Well, I feel like I've lost my, my centre actually lately. It's funny with the whole Adderall detox and all of that, I was kind of new to Instagram, and it was just so pure and innocent and exciting. It felt like a fun platform at the time, and I think once my practise kicked up and I became this practitioner, too many people were coming to me as the expert and the voice. I think as a recovering perfectionist, I just became paralysed and focused on my practice rather than like, well, I have to be perfect, I have to be super studied on every single possible thing there is from biohacking to hormones in order to be valid or even say anything on the internet, which is impossible, unless I were just to study all day every day. Yeah. Between that and then all of the political controversies starting with the beginning of COVID, I pretty much distanced myself from social media at the time and stopped engaging in DMs and stopped engaging in all of that, because it was all of this twisted information constantly. Vanessa: (03:33) Still to this day, nobody knows anything. It's crazy. Everybody thinks they know something, and then we find out six months, a year later, that was completely wrong, people are wiping down their groceries, for example, and now they're like, you don't need to wipe down your groceries, things like that. And then there were a lot of political movements last year and a lot of narratives that were circulating around Instagram, and I just decided to distance myself. That felt very grounding for me and more centering, I think I needed to find my centre because I was getting caught up in all of it. But no, I think it's a daily challenge. I do a lot of breath work, I try to have a healthy relationship with the platform, but in my honour, as much as I was, no, because I'm also trying to run my practise and be present with my clients. I think energetically, it takes a lot out of me to be talking and touching people all day long. And then at the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is get on and perform again. Mason: (04:37) That [inaudible 00:04:40]. I mean, I hope everyone's still entertained by me talking about this because I love this subject, and you just nailed a couple of things, which I think is like, this is the kind of information I like having getting out there into the health and wellness scene because it creates a capacity for transitions and awareness, especially when you go through that stage where ... I mean, I was just thinking, I was walking back from our cafe over to the office, and I was thinking about how I'm like, I am a CEO, I've got a four year old kid, I'm newly married, and so really feeling what that archetypically does and navigating that space. And then I expect myself to have an Instagram muscle man body, and my mentor is a guy that's like Chico [inaudible 00:05:26], so I expect myself to be able to do different wood splits. That's where I'm at. Mason: (05:33) A few years ago, I relate to the fact that I became obsessed with knowing everything that possibly was. And no matter what someone asked me, I could be an expert on that subject, and also burnt out and had to object from that identity. I use comedy, and now I feel like it's a pathology. I think you're transitioning way healthier than I ever did, but I had to extreme comedy to check myself out, and a progressive therapy and meditation and just trying to come back to reality. But it's a hard core. It's a skill that's lacking, and people don't talk about, and they keep on perpetuating that they know what's up. And so, I think it's awesome. I really value you talking about it, because you look at you, you're still doing it well, but you're distancing yourself from that platform or that persona, which I think is rad. Vanessa: (06:30) Yeah. Yeah. My ideal way to go about this platform now would just be fun and share whatever I feel is on my mind, but it's like, I feel this weight. Maybe it's self-imposed, but maybe it's also an energetic things that I'm taking up on, and everybody's trying to one-up each other. Sometimes I'm like ... Mason: (06:56) That's what LA is. And by osmosis, the rest of the wellness scene, it's just [crosstalk 00:07:04]. The whole health ... influencer, I never felt I related to the influencer, but I was an educator, whatever that means, a health educator. The level of competitiveness I felt as well in the early days, but then I started noticing swirling through the scene of everyone trying to one-up knowing new biomarker or some new biological pathway, or going, that's all wrong because I've got the ancient, holistic wisdom and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like going to war. Vanessa: (07:34) It is. It is going to war. That's exactly what it is. I feel like there has been a war that has been waged even more so this past year, and maybe I just woke up to it, but I was like, this isn't sustainable anymore, I got to figure out a new way of doing this. So I'm still trying to navigate that. But yeah, between therapy and breath work and all the things just to keep me sane, I've had my fair share of breakdowns especially this past year. Mason: (08:01) I think you go to war, I can speak for myself. I was going to war when I didn't have a boundary, and why didn't have the ability to go, "Hey, shut up now, because you don't know. Now just shut up." And the same when you get into questions, getting questions about just colon cancer and this and that, I've now learned how to work with practitioners and have appropriate conversations. I had to do that for my whole team as well, it's a very stressful thing to actually be there. And I can imagine- Vanessa: (08:32) Yeah, I can imagine too, but you have a product you're giving out, so people are probably looking to the products, the SuperFeast, is this going to cure my cancer? That's a lot. Mason: (08:43) It is. I mean, back in the day, they would be like, didn't associate me with the product yet. You'd get the people writing the most incredible symptoms and disease states too, just over an Instagram message. I assume, you know what that's like. Vanessa: (08:58) Oh, no, I get those all the time, and I get the cancer messages too, but I just say that I really can't. Actually, I'd be doing a huge disservice to say anything over a DM. Mason: (09:13) Yeah, this world's crazy. I mean, the going to war, I was thinking about, I said it on someone else's podcast yesterday. And I was like, especially when you get to the point when you realise you don't know ... when you're a hobbyist, for me, I feel like I'm a hobbyist in health. And that's an appropriate thing, I'm a hobbyist when it comes to Taoism and TCM. I'm not going to sit here and say I'm an expert. Therefore, you need to be able to take the piss out of yourself, or you need to be able to just be very evident that you are on a little bit of an exploration here, and people need to have the capacity to take you off the pedestal at any point. When you can't do that and you can't take yourself off the pedestal, I mean, you just get defensive and double down. And the latest one is like you know what, and everyone just needs to do what they need to do, and everybody is unique and you just need to eat right for you. It's like, well, that's a crazy bypass, and that's such a bullshit statement. Mason: (10:11) Anyway, I've been going more and more down this rabbit hole, I think that level of education needs to come forth, I'm stoked you're doing it. But let's hear about you. I think I met you just after the Adderall thing exploded. I think the majority of your detox was complete at that point, but you were just right on the upward curve of becoming known for it. Did you have an Instagram around general wellness, and then just start bringing in the Adderall reality? Or did you just launch straight off into Instagram detoxing Adderall? Vanessa: (10:59) No, I have a general wellness Instagram, but it was a very fluffy general wellness Instagram. I was always a little bit, I want to say shy, but that has to do with past high school trauma, putting myself out there. I was always very hesitant, but I dated an Aussie actually, who was always telling me, you need to be put yourself out there more, you need to just keep filming, keep taking photos, keep doing these types of things, because that's what the people want to see and you have a message to give. When I realised that I had a problem with the Adderall, because it had been so many years, and it was never ending and I couldn't even get out of bed without taking the pill- Mason: (11:45) Did that make you, because that would have been going on for a while, were you in denial for ages or did you always know that it was a problem? And then what got you over the line in being able to actually have the strength to do something about it? Vanessa: (11:57) I guess I never necessarily saw it as a problem because it wasn't like I was taking a crazy amount of it, but I would take it every day to function, and I just thought, oh, it's a prescription medication. It almost becomes so second nature that I wouldn't even think about it. It was like brushing my teeth, it was just a part of my life for so long. And I think what happened was it just ... well, I know what happened, was that the more I got into wellness, the more educated I became, the more I would choose expanders around me, who I wanted to be more like, whether it was jus embody more of this flow state or this ability just to be positive and loving and just present in a way that I didn't feel that I was. When I realised that, that's when I thought, wow, I'm taking speed all day, how could that possibly put me in a flow state? Mason: (13:00) I was going to say I didn't actually know what Adderall was when I was first talking to you. And I was like, okay, cool, some crazy American medication. It's speed. Speed for me, it makes me think it'd been made up into a little back shed bikey gang in an old walk that's never been cleaned. Vanessa: (13:21) Totally. Mason: (13:22) [crosstalk 00:13:22] speed with that clinical ... so it is prescribed? Vanessa: (13:26) Yes. And it says amphetamine on it. That's what it is. That's what Adderall is. Some people are like, I need Adderall, doctor, I need Adderall, and I'm like, you don't have an amphetamine deficiency. What is amphetamine doing for your brain? Cognitively, I honestly want to know, what is it boosting in your brain? Do you realise what amphetamine is? When you actually walk through the ingredient that is in this medication, you realise it's not this magical brain boosting drug as I see countless clients come in here, and all of a sudden, they're gaining weight rather than losing weight. They can't focus on anything, they're suffering from chronic fatigue, but they're still popping speed every single day, because it's just amphetamine, it's just like any other drug. You plateau on the drug, and also at a certain point, the drug is going to have a reverse effect because it's going to start to deplete your brain of dopamine. It's going to start to wear down your adrenals, it's going to start to cause a lot of gastroenteritis and upset in your digestion. Just like anything else. Mason: (14:29) Is it prescribed for ADHD or just for not getting out of bed? Vanessa: (14:34) Yeah. ADD, ADHD and sometimes depression. But it's funny, because Adderall can also cause depression. Mason: (14:41) Well, I mean, again, you deplete dopamine when you [crosstalk 00:14:44]. What did you find your first step was? Vanessa: (14:51) I knew that I wasn't going to do it if I just decided to just quit on my own and not tell people. I kept it a secret. I wasn't telling my family that I was still on it, my friends didn't know I was on it. I'd always sneaky, go to my or whatever to go take it constantly throughout the day. It was still just a very secretive thing. I knew that knowing myself, I had to be held accountable. I knew that I had to tell as many people as possible, and I thought, why not tell the 5,000 followers I had at the time that I have a problem and that I'm taking this drug. That was the very, very, very first step. I also knew that I was going to have to set myself up for eating very, very clean. I already knew all about brain fog and the interior nervous system in the gut, and just because of what I did for a living in my education around it, I knew actually what I had to do in order for myself not to feel run down. Vanessa: (15:57) So, I had set myself up for success, I had a bunch of groceries from the farmer's market lined up, I was ready to eat super clean. I had all of my brain boosting alternatives that I wanted to try out, and I also had a [inaudible 00:16:15] chiropractor, so it's a sacral occipital technique, basically just making sure I was structurally aligned, so enough cerebral fluid was slowing to my brain, and then I just went out with it. I told everybody, and I also gave myself a week to just sleep if I needed to take a nap or just do what I felt that that morning was necessary, because it had been 13 years and I didn't have this drug to force me to do all these things. I also knew it was very important that I stop drinking alcohol for a period of time, because I can't tell you if I even knew really what a hangover was, because I would just take Adderall the next day. Vanessa: (16:57) I knew that I had to stop anything that was going to make me want to take the drug, and I started there, and then I just took to Instagram. It wasn't live. It's not like I filmed it and then posted it right away. I posted it, and on day four, is when I started sharing because I was so afraid of what would happen, like are people going to attack me? Am I going to lose all respect? Is this sharing too much personal information? Things like that. I was questioning a lot, ruminating on it a lot. Then I talked to a few people that I respect and that have platforms and they were like, no, I think this is great. Go ahead. Do it, please. And then I did, and then it turned out that the first day, I had 800 DMs of people all saying ... 800, and I only had 5,000 followers at the time, but 800 DMs said that they were on Adderall too, or a drug similar to it. Mason: (17:59) Because I think I ... I mean, I just had to catch myself off on this scene. Did you know that there were a lot of people? Was it just something in America you know like, all right, cool, there's going to be a lot of people in that role, or is it a silent, secret little club that you weren't aware that ... I mean, obviously, you weren't aware that there were that many people, but were you aware that there were heaps of people that would have been dependent like you? Vanessa: (18:26) What I knew was in high school and college, a lot of people had this. I first learned about it from another girl in my high school grade, and there were girls in my high school and in college that were snorting it, and using it as a recreational drug. I knew that much, but I thought, no one that I knew, definitely no one in the health industry took this stuff whatsoever. And little did I know that almost ... I can't even tell you how many health coaches, Pilates instructors, spin instructors, life coaches, all wrote me saying that they were on it as well. Mason: (19:04) Just back to that, I mean, how did you ... because this is why I really like, and I say it, this isn't just a hand on the heart, I'm going to tell you something vulnerable, this is like a fucking drug addiction. I definitely don't judge the fact that there's life coaches and wellness, the thing that I know is everyone's got something that they're not really sharing and the level of anxiety it's going to because you is the level of perfection you're putting forward and then needing to feel like you're hiding something in the background, versus just being like, I got this little area, not on a pedestal, I'm just going to share about these kinds of things, know I've got skeletons and shit going on in the background as well. What did you see? All those people in the wellness industry, for them to come in the background and share with you, did they feel like they were keeping it a secret, or did you burst their bubble and actually let them know, maybe this is something that's not so good to be depending on? I'm curious as to what the theme of of how these people were feeling about that, living with- Vanessa: (20:25) I'd say 95% of people in the industry that wrote to me that they were on it were ashamed of it. Just the same shame that I felt, the same inner knowing that this is not right, this doesn't follow what I preach. I think if you're not really aware, which it's hard because it's a drug that completely takes you out of body, you're not in body. So when you're on the drug, you're not really aware of how it's affecting your life, and it wasn't until I started each day, I would learn something new that it was affecting like, wow, I really was annoying to be around in relationships, or wow, I was really aloof and not really engaging at certain events or parties, or I was very snippy and irritable, things like that. Or I was so self-conscious, I was confidently insecure. So, it gives you this, huh, I'm superwoman, and then you're a shell almost because there's no real foundation of confidence in there, because it makes you overthink and over analyse everything. Vanessa: (21:41) So I think once I also started posting that, people were like, "Oh my God, me too. That exact same thing happened to me." But they were all my own revelations, and I was actually realising as I was coming off of it, all I knew was that at the time ... I've done so much work on myself, but waking up at 30 years old with ... I think it was 30, 31, and I woke up and I was like, my another relationship just ended, my career is whatever, nothing to write home about. I was staying at my mom's, and I'm just like, I don't understand. I've been in therapy, I've done Ayahuasca, I've done all the things, all the healing modalities, everything you can imagine, why hasn't anything changed? And then when I was going to take the drug, that's when I looked at it and I'm like, well, this is the one thing that I haven't changed, that I haven't broken up with. Vanessa: (22:35) And if everything is energy, like in my practise, we believe that everything has a frequency and has an energy, well, if I'm putting this speed frequency in my body, what is that doing? How is that affecting the outcome of my life? How is that affecting my ability to manifest and be present in this world? Mason: (22:59) I mean, I do like social platforms when there's a ... because that's ultimately when you stop seeking, which is what you just said, and I've been such a chronic seeker, and then going like, well, come on, what the hell? I've done several plant medicine [inaudible 00:23:21], blah, blah, blah, I'm doing this, I'm doing this, I'm going to do this, maybe I'm doing this kind of meditation, I'm doing this big yang style of breath that everyone's into, and why isn't anything working. And if you're not just feeling like you have that self agency and that authenticity, there's always something that can be something festering. There often is in people that's on that platform or in the wellness scene, or in the entrepreneurial scene, or in the fitness or whatever it is. I mean, it's such an a non-sexy thing to capture and talk about. I think you're such a good example, you are able to hit it with something relatable and go through the process. Mason: (24:09) And what I feel like you're able to talk about is that skill to get to the point where you go, look, we just got to call a spade, a spade and acknowledge it's that. Despite all your stories, this is the thing that you're going to have to face. And it's probably not about that thing, there's probably a lot of stuff underneath it that you're going to realise that you are subconsciously compensating for, and you're going to have to go through a real long process, and it's going to be shitty, and it's going to be hard, and then it's never ever going to stop because you can't be healed of yourself. I really value it a lot. And then, did you have relapses, or how'd you go? Vanessa: (24:50) Well, I had to get rid of all my supply, so that I wasn't actually tempted. I'm not a fan of people coming to me wanting to detox off Adderall and alike, and still having a prescription in the house. It doesn't work like that. I know this because there have been such desperate times where I've wanted to go back so bad, but it's an addiction. And I explain to people, I use the word detox because it's buzzy and trendy, but it's not, it's a drug withdrawal. And a withdrawal is not linear, it's a roller coaster ride. You could be totally cool for the first three weeks, maybe a month, two months, and then all of a sudden, you feel terrible and you're really craving it again. But that's life, we can't wake up, we're not machines, we don't wake up and we feel amazing and perfect and all the things every single day. So, that's where the inner work comes in, and I've had to struggle with that a lot. Vanessa: (25:45) I used to use it just even to go out and socialise if I was too tired at the end of the day. And learning to live life without this drug, not to say that I still don't have cravings for it, I still have cravings to this day for it. I like uppers, I like caffeine, so I've been trying not to drink caffeine as often. I like that feeling of being awake and excited. It's an initial rush, it doesn't last. And then not only that, with that initial rush, comes a lot of anxiety, a lot of other things that piggyback on it. So, I still have those cravings, but just to recognise them and also to look at well, what have I been doing? Have I been sleeping? Am I doing things that are bringing joy to me? Are there certain things that maybe I can delegate to other people, because this is not my personal strength, things like that. Have I eaten well this week? Am I eating poorly, and perhaps my guts just bogged down? Am I eliminating? Things like that. I just have to check myself every time I start to think I have an Adderall deficiency. Mason: (26:53) Yeah. Do people from Australia write to you? For us, Dexedrine, which you said you have, and Ritalin, you guys have, I mean, there must be others. I know the friends who are like my druggie friends in high school that were also somehow ... in fact, they were failing chemistry in school, but then all of a sudden, became master chemists when they start talking to me about drugs. And so they'd be like, yeah, dextroamphetamine, [inaudible 00:27:26] Ritalin, methylphenidate, they're just racking out all these names. We had a lot of Ritalin in high school going around, but it wasn't that easy to access, and just those kids that would prescribe to, we'd make a bit of cash on the side. But I wonder how easy it is to get access at the moment, I think [inaudible 00:27:46] are a much easier to get access to, and they're the ones I still hear. Mason: (27:52) I think even at one point, there was something similar with legal in New Zealand to get over the shelf, and we'd have things, like we've got the stores called Happy High Hubs, and they ... I'm not saying they had it, but equivalent store would have little things that, but maybe weren't quite as chemical, maybe more plant-based. But I remember friends going over and getting those there, but a lot of friends in the bartending world took Dexis, a light little rush during a shift. I wonder, do many people from Australia write to you, or do you feel like this is something more North America based, that there's an addiction. Vanessa: (28:29) They do, but not the number of North Americans. I have a fair amount of Australian followers, but I don't see them writing as much, or they'll write me saying that their friend or their family member, so who knows if it's actually them or if it is a friend or family member that they're struggling with who needs help or that type of thing? Mason: (28:52) Yeah. I think we're way more stubborn about our addictions as well as a nation. I don't know what I'm basing that on, but I think maybe there's just some kind of ... I don't know. I do find that it's amazing. I've watched Americans just a lot of heart on their sleeve. Vanessa: (29:10) Oh, yeah. Mason: (29:11) ... me too, and we're a bit more maybe stubborn and proud, and we'll be like, no, nothing wrong with me. Thank you very much. Vanessa: (29:19) Yeah. I think that there is a little bit more pride in other countries than in America. Everybody here is just now trying to just be all vulnerable and have something in common with another person. And plus medication in the US is just, I think, unparalleled than other countries. Mason: (29:38) Yeah. More normalised for sure. But I mean, just talking about addiction alone, I'm definitely not going to equate getting off other addictions with what you went through, but nonetheless, I think obviously, there's going to be some certain parallels just worth being aware of, maybe not speaking to. But I think awareness around addiction, especially when you're in a place where you consider yourself someone who's really healthy, then to acknowledge that perhaps there's something that you're addicted to that either needs just managing and probably managing for a long time, if not the rest of your life, or you're going to have to cut yourself off, which is way more appropriate with something like an amphetamine. The process now, I'm just going to highlight that, even for my own relating too, because I got my little things that I really need to manage. When I get tired and stressed, I'll go back to them, and I'll just get really upset at myself at times and blah, blah, blah. Mason: (30:40) When it came to addiction and getting off, how did you consciously manage the ... supporting your brain, your nervous system. You talked about the Chiro that you were going to, I think that's really great advice to everyone coming off any type of addiction, could really ensure that they've got their body and skeletal structure in the right place. The dopamine, supporting that neurotransmitter. Would you mind jumping into how you say, whether you can talk clinically of what general things that you use to support? And by all means, if it's all personalised, let us know about that as well- Vanessa: (31:16) No. Yeah. To me, first and foremost, being structurally aligned was really important. This was the last pharmaceutical drug I was detoxing off of because I'd been on when I was 20, I think at 21 is when I stopped antidepressants, when I was 25 was when I stopped things Xanax and Ambien. I mean, I was on every drug. [inaudible 00:31:41], uppers, downers, in-betweeners, just medicated to the gills. What I found was that SOT chiropractic saved my life, and it's the sacral occipital technique. So, your sacrum is the base of your spine and your jaw and your [inaudible 00:31:57] are the top of your spine. So if either one's out of alignment, even slightly so, which can even happen during childbirth, because it's a traumatic experience, and I see it a lot with C-sections as well or forceps on the head, things like that. Vanessa: (32:11) This is your entire spine, so it twists on your nervous system, it twists on your digestive system, and then all of a sudden, not enough what we call cerebral spinal fluid is going to the brain. So not all parts of the brain are lighting up. They're not getting enough flow, enough fluid. Because of that, I realised that I actually didn't need anti-depressants and all of that, as long as I was able to stay structurally aligned. Once I started getting adjusted, I started feeling really good, and thus began my journey off of pharmaceuticals. I moved back to LA, and anywhere I lived, I always had an SOT practitioner. I lived in New York for 10 years, I had one there, I lived in Austin, I had to find someone in San Antonio and drive there. And then when I came back to LA, I had my guy who originally took me off of the first drugs, so I just basically was going to him weekly every other week, just to make sure that I was holding my adjustment. Vanessa: (33:07) Then what I would do is I knew that for dopamine, and also as a woman, a lot of us take it to stay in shape and keep our figures small and whatnot. So, I called friends to not meet me at a workout, they had to pick me up to go to the workout, and they agreed to do that, to hold me accountable to start exercising. I knew I had to exercise, and high intensity cardio just to get outside of myself, get that dopamine rushing, so I did that. I made sure that I went to bed no later than 10:30, and that I slept at least eight or nine hours. If I slept less than that, it was a disaster. I started with that as well. And then as far as things that I did for my brain, so anxiety, anxiety is one thing that you can actually experience coming off of Adderall as well, just because your brain still needs a minute to build the dopamine and reconnect those neurotransmitters that have been basically relying on this amphetamine drug. Vanessa: (34:11) What I did was I took this thing called Min-Chex, it's by a company, Standard Process, but essentially, it's just a lot of beef liver, and I find that that helps really calm anxiety in the brain, man, or woman. I started taking that and it helps tremendously with any anxious feelings that I was having. I started taking a lot of Lion's Mane Rhodiola as well, which was helpful. I was messing around with mucuna, mucuna, how do you say it? Mason: (34:42) [inaudible 00:34:42] Vanessa: (34:42) Mucuna, I was playing around with Mucuna. And then when I met you at Mind, Body, Brain Festival or conference, you gave me the neural nectar. You gave me the neural nectar, which is actually better, and to this day, better than any other nootropic, mushroom concoction. By far to this day, is the best thing. It has helped me so much, and I thank you for that. [crosstalk 00:35:10]. Yeah. No, it's better than anything else that I played around with. I had some bad reactions to a few products that I tried. I took things like pantothenic acid for my adrenals, and was just doing things to support the different parts of my body that I knew were being taken down by this drug, probiotics, things like that. I had a whole lineup, but really, it was Lion's Mane, Rhodiola, beef liver, vitamin D, Mucuna, cordyceps is really helpful for getting energy as well. Mason: (35:50) Yeah, that's great. You're highlighting a really good way to relate to the tonic herbs as well, the cordyceps and the Rhodiola and Mucuna. Vanessa: (36:00) Oh, ashwagandha was another one that I used a lot. What I learned about ashwagandha, because at first, when I was playing around with that, oh, this is for nighttime, but no, you can take it in the morning and you actually have a great focus, but not an anxious focus. It's a nice, smooth focus. Mason: (36:20) It's a really weird herb. It's an absolute powerful to yang tonic, but it's a nervine at the same time. It's like, what? I can't take it at night. I can take it at night, but I don't know, it almost makes me, I don't know, too groggy, and whereas I take it in the morning, I need to get up and go, but generally, my mind is just too crazy, and my nervous system's too crazy. That's why I can take those relaxing herbs in the morning as long as I combine it with something that brings a little bit of yang energy. So, I'm with you on that one, a lot of ashwagandha in the morning. Vanessa: (36:56) And Bacopa? I played around with Bacopa. That was fun. That did really well for me as well. Mason: (37:02) That's [inaudible 00:37:02] brain thing. You're just like in that convalescence stage, in the healing stage and the rebuilding. Clinically, that's when tonic herbs stop you from getting sick in the rebuild. That's the two sides of that story. I mean, it makes sense that they would be so effective in there. And the exercise, forcing yourself to go and do exercise, I think it's like ... that's what I need as well. Vanessa: (37:30) Basically, I had an exercise babysitter. I mean, I had to, because I thought I was convinced that I could not exercise, go to the gym, go to workout class without Adderall. There's just no way. That's what I used to get up and go, how am I going to get up and go then? I realised that I actually didn't need it. It actually is much easier for me cardiovascularly to get through the class because your heart's not beating faster than it should at the moment. Mason: (38:01) Yeah. The belief that you couldn't go and do exercise without Adderall. How did you feel? Would you have that feeling of like, it'd just be lethargy, and that I'm literally not going to have the energy to get through this? And would you be doing the making excuses? Like I seriously don't think it's healthy for me to be doing this today, as you got picked up by your babysitter and going there? Was it that extreme? That's what I think- Vanessa: (38:25) No, not at all. Because I find that that's a story, and I tell this to my clients too, it's a story, because I would sit there and go like, actually, am I really that tired? I'm not. At first, you are because you have the hangover effect of the Adderall. As soon as the Adderall starts to really start to leave your system, I'd say within a few days, that next day hangover ... because no matter who's out there listening to this, taking one of these drugs, you wake up the next day, and the reason why you crave it is because you have a hangover effect from the day before, and you need caffeine, you need something. So, I was replacing it with the bulletproof coffee recipe for caffeine, and sometimes just some [inaudible 00:39:07] tea. But without that hangover effect, I would sit there and go like, am I actually tired, or is this just a story I'm telling myself that it's impossible to move my body? Vanessa: (39:19) What I found is that the stories that we tell ourselves are so profound that they actually dictate what physically happens in our bodies. If we're sitting there, and every single day, if you were to wake up and go, I'm going to get cancer, I'm going to get cancer, I'm going to get cancer, and you're so convinced of it every single day, most likely you will develop cancer, because you're telling yourself that that's what's going to happen. And so, when I told myself, I got this euphoric feeling all of a sudden, like wow, how powerful am I that I can do this without this? Which is most people don't have a problem doing it without the drug. But at first, it was just very exciting. It was very exciting, it was all very new, and I felt like I was a newborn learning things again, but also feeling things for the first time that I hadn't felt in a long time. Mason: (40:14) I mean, that immediately brings up the ... if you say in comparison land, other people can do this every day without this thing, if you stay in that comparison, that's obviously going to be a stunting effect, I think that's [crosstalk 00:40:27] reminder. I'm curious, so you went into a convalescent stage into a healing stage, you're moving off by being addicted into a healing and to getting control of the addiction. How did you gauge when it was time to take the bubble wrap off yourself, take the padding, like you no longer in necessarily a healing, was it easy for you to change relating to this healthy lifestyle that you were like, I'm gone from healing, because I was doing something that was maybe a bit negative, to now I'm just actually just enjoying my own lifestyle? Was there any turbulence in moving from one to the other or was it a natural progression? Vanessa: (41:15) Well, it took me 30 days. I like to enjoy the occasional glass of wine or cocktail every now and then, I like to go out and have fun. I was very scared to do any of those things, I definitely put myself in ... I had kid gloves and put myself in a bubble. I wouldn't eat past a certain hour. It was hard for me to go out to eat. I had to be in control of all of my meals, just so that I wouldn't get some drowsy hangover effect from something. So, it took me about, I want to say 23 days, was the time when I went out to a restaurant opening, I remember with a couple of guy friends of mine, and I had a couple of tequilas. I went into it just knowing that life's going to happen, and I want to be able to live my life, and if I feel tired the next day, this is why. I just had to be very conscious, I had to go into it with intention rather than being reckless. Vanessa: (42:13) And so, I woke up the next day and sure enough, I had the craving because I hadn't had alcohol in a long time and your brain swells, so you're laying there and you're just like, but I just gave myself, I made it so that the next day I had no commitments the next morning, I just allowed myself to be. That was one thing, I started going out to restaurants slowly realising that that wasn't scary either, but I knew that I needed that state of just being cuddled for a little bit before I was able to do these things, because I had to understand all the negative effects that this drug had on me and all of the positive things that were coming of my life from being off the drug, because I also think that it energetically blocks you. So as soon as I was coming off, that all these opportunities are coming towards me, people were coming towards me, I just felt very magnetic. Mason: (43:08) I mean, I reckon that's cool. I think as you know, you see a lot of people, whether it's coming off substances or coming off a Western diet for ... you find veganism, you find keto, you find CrossFit, you find soul cycle, whatever it is, and you find something, or just a healing lifestyle that's really coddled, and you associate that with the healing. And as you alluded to, sometimes there's a fear for going outside of it because you're like, oh my God, this is wonderful. I mean, that's a very quick process that you went through, but it sounds like you did it well. I like those principles of being realistic and going in with intention and being really smart about it to step away because I mean, as you've seen a lot of people, then get addicted and too scared to step outside the modality- Vanessa: (43:58) Yeah, you cause addict for sure. I think it's a fear mentality, but I also know that fear really also holds us back. So fear would keep me in the mindset of wanting to take Adderall. It's the fear that I really had to work on, the fear around being out of control, but we are not. None of us are completely in control. If we've learned anything this last year is that we are not in control. There are many things that are outside of our control. And so, I just needed to realise that not to be afraid of that loss of control of every single thing being perfect in order for me to be able to function. That's not sustainable, that's not reality. I had to be able to work with the world and be able to dispel that fear so that it's not holding me back from whatever it is. Mason: (44:58) Well, I know a diet was a huge part for you, and you have a large focus, from what I can see, from when I've been following along in your adventures on diet. Tell me more about how you navigate that space, some of the principles that have worked for you, have, have you find a lot of your principles are just rock solid and you have your standards, do you find some of them are temporary? Have some of them become malleable? I'm curious to hear where you're at with diet because I do appreciate the level of sharing that you go to around your diet. I skirt around the conversation myself. Vanessa: (45:42) Well, I've learned a lot. I know what works for my body, and I've seen what works for a lot of people that have any addiction to Adderall or they're having depression or anxiety or some sort of cognitive function issue or adrenal depletion. But I myself learned that it's okay to change your mind. I used to be hardcore, intermittent fasting, I think I intermittent fast every single day for almost two years, and completely lost my period, and no longer was able to build muscle tones. I tanked my testosterone which was pulling from my adrenals. I didn't even have fatigue. I was just puffy and no period, and it was bizarre. I learned that intermittent fasting is not the set structure for everybody, and that's the only way to live. But that's what I used to do, I used to wake up with that bulletproof coffee with the D and the NCT and the whole night, and just live on that until lunch. Vanessa: (46:44) But my diet now, which pretty much has been the same since I got off, but for the most part, I'd say I was really strict for a long time, which was, I wouldn't touch a grain, so rice, quinoa, gluten, wheat, whatever it is, no grains whatsoever. And then, I would eat low brassica vegetables. I don't eat kale, broccoli and Brussels sprouts for the most part, so I would eat a lot of arugula and butter lettuce for my actual salads. I would eat things like, I don't know, asparagus, zucchini, certain things like that. Not a lot of cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, definitely no kale. The reason being is that I also had, have, had, who knows, my blood tests says that it's not there anymore, but TCOs, which gave me Hashimoto's. Vanessa: (47:40) When I was doing my research around Hashimoto's I realised how crazy kale was on the thyroid. So I just stopped eating it and I started feeling better, but it also affected my energy. I was feeling better and I was also less bloated and gassy. I'd eat one of those vegetables and I could fly myself to New York on the amount of gas that I would produce. [crosstalk 00:48:02]. I realised that's just not for me. That's what I really do. Basically, I like to eat as if I were stuck on a farm or in the wild and all I could do would be hunt, gather, fish, grow, pick, that type of thing. If I could do one of those things, then I could eat it. So I wouldn't snack a lot, not a lot of packaged foods, things like that, just things I grow up from the ground. If I want to starch, then it's potato, sweet potato, but for me, I tend to eat those things at night because they spike my insulin, and I usually get tired or they're just too weighty. Vanessa: (48:42) If I have them for lunch, I usually have a really bad crash afterwards. So, I'll eat those things at night, sometimes I try to eat them cold because they're more starch resistant. But other than that, I think before this podcast where you said, you I met a new boy, and that also changed the way I ate a little bit. I realised in my relationship with him is that he eats everything. He's like a dude, not into health and wellness. I mean, he'll listen to me go off at because [inaudible 00:49:15] when I see him eating certain things that make my skin growl, but other than that, he has really healed me when it comes to freedom around food. He comes from a Persian culture and they have this amazing rice dish called tahdig, and it's basically fried rice at the bottom, so fried and crispy, this crispy flat layer. It's so tasty and good. Vanessa: (49:42) What I've realised is with him, and through our culinary experiences and just, I don't know, I don't know if it's the feeling of being in a relationship where I feel safe and held and loved or what it was, but my rigidity around my diet, wasn't like, I can't eat that. All of a sudden, he's having some French fries, I'll have some of his French fries, and I would never have touched a French fry before. Like as if my body is going to explode if I touch that one French fry. Mason: (50:16) Yeah. It's like when you've been full Catholicized, and you think if you step outside the discipline of religion that you're going to go to hell, and it's this [crosstalk 00:50:29] experience, and you eat the chip, and you're like, hang on a second. Vanessa: (50:33) I'm still here, whoa. It was pretty eye opening. But yes, if I were to eat like that all the time, would I feel energetic and functional everyday? No, but am I able to have more freedom around food? 100%. Do I eat clean when I'm in the office? There's just no point in me having some cheap, fun, luxurious meal for lunch while I'm working, it's a waste. I usually just, Monday through Friday, I try to eat super clean, which is usually when I'm at the office, arugula butter lettuce with some maybe salmon and sardines or chicken or some grass fed beef or something that with olive oil and sea salt. My lunch is pretty boring during the week, but that also enables me to go out on the weekend and have fun and let loose a little bit because I am super clean for the most part. Mason: (51:28) I think that's awesome. I didn't realise you were at that point as well. Not that I think that's better or worse to be there, but I think that's another thing that needs ... there's some sophistication and nuance and maturity when educating people around health, because quite often, people will go ... what you've just shared, I think is really beautiful going like, there's some culinary engagement and there's something extra been layered on top of these principles you have around health, whereas so often, it's seen as a failure, you're not living up to the standards that you set. And so, even though people might easily move in that direction, it's like, okay, well, I gave it my best shot to be really perfect, and I just failed a little bit in that, whereas it's just, you're just opening up and you're blossoming a little bit, you're bringing in more colour and tone to the way that you eat, and if you're malleable in your principles, stick strong with your convictions, but allow them to be malleable and alter and change, you can really create a beautiful culture around food, having those experiences. Mason: (52:42) I'm the same. I went out purposely and ate the things I swore to myself I would never eat again. Vanessa: (52:50) I love that. Mason: (52:51) ... and just horrified of my indictment sometimes. Vanessa: (52:56) What I remember is when we got back from the conference too, we went to dinner, it was so refreshing that you ordered a glass of wine. I'm like, oh great, I can order a glass of wine because a lot of people in the wellness industry will be so ... they're not in AA by any means, but they're just so, they poo on this, that and the other, and it just becomes very judgy, and how relaxed you were having a meal was refreshing to me, because when you are around people in this industry, sometimes it becomes so intense. Mason: (53:32) Yeah. I definitely noticed myself sticking out a little bit at that second ... I don't know, Yeah. I think that was especially after the first one. And then that second one, I think I ended up having a dad's gone wild night. One of the [inaudible 00:53:53]. I think it was me and Dr. Dan, the gut MD, and my mate, Chris from Grizzly Bear. I was like, thank God for ... I really didn't give a shit about holding that identity the second time round, especially. And I was like, I'm not playing the game, I'm not playing the wellness game. And so, I've definitely felt the eyes watching and the little bit of that bit of judgement that comes about. I think fair enough that some people's path of wanting to create a glass house culture around their wellness principles, but I mean, there's so much lacking. I feel like that's the worst thing about LA, is you can insulate yourself within that health food store, and keto, intermittent fasting, I've nailed it, and you slowly change as the trends change. Mason: (54:59) But you can convince yourself that, because there's restaurants that cater to your dietary ideology as well, so easy to never ever step out. And that's when you start getting ... basically you start getting ... I considered myself having that to an extent, not comparing myself to other extreme eating disorders, but it becomes an eating disorder. Vanessa: (55:25) Yeah. Orthorexia is a real thing. It becomes where they won't go out to restaurants, like, what oil is this cooked in? You get so obsessed with just eating healthy and everything super clean that it really affects your everyday life. Mason: (55:43) Yeah. It's so healthy to challenge that. Even if you challenge it and go cool, I loved opening up, and I don't really ... I've definitely done things I'm like, I don't need to go back there, but at least I'm not opposed, I'm not detested by it. No need to be an opposition, and just almost [inaudible 00:56:05], it was releasing my judgement of the way other people live and eat, get over my superiority complex, those kinds of things. Vanessa: (56:15) Yeah. That was a road for me too. It's hard. And then it's hard because then I'll tell people now, and then taking them off Adderall and stuff, I'll be very strict with them, but that's because they're looking for a result and an outcome, and they're in the kid gloves stage. So I always try to tell people, this isn't forever, but this is for now. We got to be pretty strict. Because then that way, they can also see when they do have those moments, if they don't feel well, then they can at least, okay, well, I had a bit of fun and I was enjoying myself and okay, my guts a little sticky right now, so my brain's a little sticky, that type of thing, but I need them to be able to really see that and feel that. Mason: (56:53) That's the awesome thing about LA, is that it's easy to be in that healing convalescent stage and you feel safe and you feel understood. And there's a real beauty there, if it doesn't tip over and become extremist, which for majority of people, I don't think it does. It's just there's a click of it there and there's almost then get competitive of how obsessed can I get in my eating disorder. And some people, that's their path from there and they really enjoy that. I'm not putting that on everyone who goes down that route, but there's something really magical about LA in that as well. It's why I do like going there. I find that really inspiring. Before we jump off, tell me about your clinic. I just want to know how it's going, first of all, and then give me an insight into what you're working with, what kind of people you're working with, and whether you've got any space, because I know you're popular. Is it only in person or do you do it over video? Vanessa: (57:54) Yeah. It's funny, we've been open for a little over, I want to say three years now, and last year, was our biggest year yet. I think perhaps it's just because people realise how important health is, and they just all really wanted to get healthy, so people really started investing in their health I've found. This year we became a homoeopathic pharmacy, so we carry a number of different lines that are only carried by practitioners, anywhere from homeopathics to whole food supplement, to adaptogens, things like that. We're open four days a week, we see about 65 people a week, and we do both FaceTime and in-person, and we do something called nutrition response testing. Nutrition response testing is a form of applied kinesiology or essentially muscle testing, but what separates us from muscle testing is that we're really focused on the system on the autonomic nervous system, so we do certain checks on the nervous system first in order to align it in order to get the most accurate read possible. Vanessa: (59:01) Once we've run all the testing on the nervous system, we've done some heart rate variability testing, then we move on to the different organs. And just as acupuncture runs on radian points, all we're doing is running on organ points and using frequency vials to figure out what's irritating the body. We're only word of mouth, and some people come to us from Instagram, but we don't market ourselves, so we really just want people to have results. We're very result driven, and then therefore, they can tell their friends or family to come in. We use whole food supplements and homoeopathic remedies to help the body come back into balance, rather than pharmaceuticals and other things that can cause more side effects. We're just focused on that right now. Mason: (59:46) How long are you generally working with clients? Vanessa: (59:50) The initial session's about 45 minutes, and that's when we go through the health history and everything and then run our initial testing, and then the follow-ups are only 20 minutes. Mason: (59:58) And are you going anywhere, are people just coming to you for maintenance and long-term clients, as well as people just going through acute issues, and what kind of issues do you notice people coming to you with? Vanessa: (01:00:09) No one comes to me in the beginning, unless they're coming to me for something chronic. So yeah, I've got clients that have been with me for years, but maybe they'll come in for a monthly checkup or every two months, or all the female client who might have a bladder infection and then she'll have to come in, she doesn't want to take medication, so we'll help her with her bladder infection or yeast infection, things like that, or they'll get the flu, and they'll come in. But what we do is people come to us for chronic issues. So, it's usually they have a thyroid problem or PCOS or a hormonal problem that has yet to be diagnosed, they're missing a period, that's for the women. Men will come to me for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, problems with libido, wanting to get off Adderall, cognitive function issues. We have a lot of IBS and gastro problems anything, having to do with the gut, colitis, Crohn's, you name it. Vanessa: (01:01:06) We also have quite a lot of heartburn, acid reflux, chronic people, lot of eczema, acne and depression, anxiety, as well, what we consider a chronic issue. So, we'll help people with anxiety and depression as well. Mason: (01:01:22) Oh, shebang, and must keep you busy. Vanessa: (01:01:25) Yes. It keeps us very busy. I love what I do. It's great, it's been really effective, and the only reason why I am so passionate about what I do and stand behind what I do is because I was a patient of it myself for six years. So, I was actually in different corporate jobs in New York, and this just continued to keep changing my life. I believe in many modalities, and I think different modalities speak to different people, and you actually have to be energetically aligned and really believe in your practitioner and what you're getting yourself into in order for you to have a true healing experience, because we're just guides. We're not actually healing you, you're healing yourself, but we're guiding you there. And so, I myself, when I found this, I was like, wow, I've never felt this great in my life, and all my auto-immune issues are starting to reverse, and everything is just feeling better that I became obsessed with learning this technique. Vanessa: (01:02:23) At the time, I really had to fight to go into school because you had to be a licenced doctor. And so, I was working for this woman in Queens, in New York, and she got me into the school and then I apprenticed for her while I was going to school. So, it's just something that I'm really passionate about, and I don't believe anybody should go into, I think, any healing modality unless it's really done wonders for yourself, because in order to really stand firm in that ... because you have clients that come in one week or another, and they really don't feel well, but they're on your protocol. And unless you confidently stand behind what you do and you've had that experience of maybe some Herxheimer reaction or you've backed slide a little bit, unless you can stand with them and empathise with them, it's very hard to get around that blockage. Mason: (01:03:16) Yeah. And that's what you see in most healing modalities or medicine is a lack of empathy. Vanessa: (01:03:23) Yeah. Mason: (01:03:24) Awesome. I'm really interested to hear more about this. I know you've probably had a full day. What day is it here? I'm doing the math, Tuesday? Yeah, it's Tuesday here. Vanessa: (01:03:34) It's Monday. Yeah, we pick up again in about a half hour, and then we'll go till 6:30 PM tonight. 10 minutes. Mason: (01:03:43) Okay. All right. I'll definitely let you go. Thank you for lending me, V. Thanks, V. The best way for people to get in touch with you, is that through veeshoney on Instagram? Vanessa: (01:03:56) Yeah, veeshoney on Instagram, and then email is info@veeshoney.com if people want an appointment. If you're looking for employment, definitely don't DM, email. Mason: (01:04:10) Good call. Beautiful. Good to see your face, thanks so much for that. Vanessa: (01:04:11) You too. I hope to see you in person at some point. I'm dying to come to Australia and be one of those tourists in Byron Bay, bother in Byron Bay. Mason: (01:04:23) No worry. We're going to take you outside of Byron Bay, and you won't be a bother. We've got the hook- Vanessa: (01:04:25) I would love that. Mason: (01:04:26) [crosstalk 01:04:26] with the insiders. Vanessa: (01:04:29) I love that. Mason: (01:04:30) All right. Beautiful.

088 Can You Reduce Side Effects of Detoxes and Cleanses?

Health Mysteries Solved

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 18, 2021 23:22

The Investigation I hear it all the time. Someone goes on a cleanse to feel better but they end up feeling worse. Detox reactions, die-off reactions, or Herxheimer’s reactions are caused by a variety of factors such as toxin exposure, viruses, bugs, yeasts, and parasites. Cleansing or detoxing can be incredible for our health but some people do experience symptoms like headaches, fatigue, gas, bloating, congestion, and flu-like symptoms. Why We Experience Detox Reactions When your body has more toxins or infections present, or if it is a first cleanse, you may experience more physical reactions as there is more to clear out. Secondly, genetics can affect how someone reacts to certain factors involved in a cleanse. The way you detoxify, and how your detoxification pathways work can be related to genetic factors in your metabolic pathways. Thirdly, some people are simply more sensitive. It may be tougher for some people to cleanse, or they may need to take a different approach. Being sensitive to changes in the body and environment can make it hard to tolerate even the milder side effects of a cleanse but there are ways to mitigate it. Overall, it’s still very beneficial to do a cleanse as it assists your wellbeing and thankfully there are things you can do to reduce the potential for detox reactions. The most popular cleanses are a full-body toxin cleanse (liver or gallbladder) or a GI (gastrointestinal tract) cleanse. In this episode, I review each. What is a Liver Cleanse? Liver cleanses usually involve herbs like milk thistle and dandelion as well as nutrients like NAC and glutathione. They work by pulling toxins out of the cells and making them water soluble and then should be binding them up and excreting them. Typically the more toxins you have, the more that needs to come up; and if those toxin pathways are blocked, reactions will happen. Most liver cleanses come with diet instructions but I find that not everyone follows them. It’s super important to listen to the instructions if you want the cleanse to be effective. Steps for a Successful Liver Cleanse: Eat a clean diet (whole foods, avoiding all refined and processed foods for the duration of the cleanse). Make sure your bowels are moving (you might want to try magnesium citrate or Oxi powder if they are not). Be aware of sulfur-based supplements. You can do an organic acid test to see if you are able to handle sulfur well, as many cleanses use sulfur-based supplements like NAC and Glutathione. (If sulfur is an issue, try using molybdenum and doing epsom salt baths, and using herbs instead of sulfur-based supplements). Start slow. Some people like doing a half dose of supplements, then working up to the full dose. Doing a little bit and feeling good is still doing work, rather than doing a lot at once, and feeling unwell and then stopping. Find a cleanse that has a binder or add your own binder. Binders are like sponges, they absorb things by pushing the toxins out and catching them to carry out of the body. You can add charcoal, clay, or fulvic acid - I also like using Ultra binder by Quicksilver or Biotoxin binder by Cell Core. Try taking this first thing in the morning or at bedtime, and away from food as much as you can. Following these steps will ensure you are assisted when doing a full body toxin or liver cleanse, and help make things a lot more tolerable. Steps for a Successful GI Cleanse If you are working on your digestion and have Dysbiosis (an overgrowth of bugs in the gut) you’ll be using anti-microbial things in your cleanse. You’ll need to address the GI (gastrointestinal) Tract in this type of cleanse, compared to the full body (liver/gallbladder) cleanse I just spoke about. To address the dysbiosis, you’ll need anti-microbials (anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-fungal agents). A few examples of those would be (but not limited to): Garlic Oregano Pau d’arco Clove Grapefruit seed extract The goal here is to kill off the bugs in the gut while at the same time rebalancing the microbiome (increasing the good guys). Steps for a Successful GI Cleanse: Get your bowels moving first Make sure your bowels are moving FIRST. This step is crucial, because you don’t want to be killing off bugs unless the digestive system will be able to bring them out! Reduce your sugar Once your bowels are moving regularly, you’ll need to change your diet. Likely, it may feel drastic to completely reduce sugar if you’ve never tried it before, however you can still eat 1-2 servings of fruit and 2 servings of complex carbs (lentils, sweet potato, brown rice) per day so its not about avoiding all carbs. These bugs feed on sugars and so that needs to be reduced and processed carbs turn to sugar which is why those are also avoided. Break up the biofilm Another must is something to break up the biofilm in the gut. The bugs form this biofilm around themselves in order to protect themselves from being destroyed. This is why I’ll often recommend taking a biofilm disruptor for a week or so before starting the anti-microbial nutrients. Interfase by Klair or Biofilm Defense are two products I use in my practice. These products are essentially like enzymes but they are not meant for digestion. You’ll take these on an empty stomach so they go do the work breaking up the biofilms and outer cell walls of different bugs, that way the process is a bit more gradual. Support the digestion itself Make sure you’re emulsifying fats properly, have enough digestive enzymes, and that your stomach has enough acid to break down the animal proteins you’re eating. If you have a stool test, this will help you determine what you might need. You may need bitters to help emulsify the fats. If you ever feel bloated, gassy, or like food sits in your stomach, then you may be low on stomach acid. A betaine HCL will help resolve this issue with you. Start with half a dose of antimicrobials, don’t rush. This type of cleanse is a marathon, not a race. You’ll want to make sure you are doing what the body needs and getting things clear over time, especially if you are sensitive. I typically start my clients on half a dose and then have them work up to the full dose over a few days to get the body used to it. I also prefer not using the same herb for the duration of the cleanse and instead use synergistic formulas for 2 weeks each and rotate so the bugs don’t adapt to the regime. Add a binder (just like in the liver/whole body cleanse). You can add clay, fulvic acid, etc. as listed above, just make sure you take them away from food and medications. When I customize cleanses for my clients, I put these steps in place to minimize their detox reactions and help them have the most successful cleanse possible. If you are doing a cleanse on your own, following these steps will help you do the same. If you purchase a cleanse, make sure it includes some of the supportive elements I spoke about here, and if doesn’t not have everything, you can always get it separately if need be. Conclusion Understanding these different types of cleanse and detoxification reactions will help you reduce them. With reduced reaction, you should be able to enjoy the benefits of cleansing without too much discomfort.

Christina Kantzavelos (@buenqamino // @beginwithintoday) is a Lyme warrior, award-winning freelance writer/content creator, chronic illness advocate, and licensed psychotherapist. She was diagnosed with Lyme disease and co-infections in October of 2018. However, she struggled with debilitating symptoms and various autoimmune diseases for years prior. Her treatment has included a mixture of Eastern and Western modalities, nutritional changes, a switch to non-toxic living, clean beauty, DNRS (neural-retraining therapy), as well as a strong focus on self-care — such as journaling, painting, joining CoDA, and being out in nature. From being couch-bound and sensitive to just about everything (scents, food, EMFs), she is now back in the world, hiking again, and tolerating most foods and scents. Although she is still on the road to healing, she has made a conscious decision to choose an attitude and intention of thriving over an obsession with surviving — and hopes to share that with others. She is also the author of our favorite symptom tracker, the Begin Within Today journal, and the proud momma of a service-dog-in-training, Cowboy. Tune in as Christina shares: that throughout her childhood and into her teen years, she experienced migraines, chronic pain, panic attacks, digestive problems, and numerous other unexplained symptoms that she lost her brother to cardiomegaly when she was 19 that when she got checked for cardiomegaly, she was actually diagnosed with POTS that it took nearly 2 decades for her to receive her Lyme disease diagnosis after grad school, she was diagnosed with Celiac disease — and has been gluten-free ever since that her health continued to deteriorate to its lowest point in 2018, when she was first referred to a rheumatologist — who was also an LLMD that she doesn’t recall ever being bitten by a tick, but has been bitten by tons of mosquitoes…and reminds us that mosquitoes appear to be able to carry Lyme, as well that she was additionally diagnosed with giardia, Lyme co-infections, and had been exposed to mold she was also diagnosed with lupus, Sjogren’s, and mixed connective tissue disease — all of which appear to be manifestations of her chronic Lyme disease that treatment for Lyme knocks you off your feet — the Herxheimer reaction is truly horrific: “it gets worse before it gets better” that her parents had to begin caring for her before she even began treatment that she’s additionally been diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) that she now considers herself to be 60-70% better, and has redesigned her lifestyle to support healing from her chronic illnesses as best she can that she has always been her own best advocate, in no small part because her parents are immigrants that she and her parents worked through trauma together and in some ways, her illness has created that space for emotional healing that the people who take care of us are experiencing second-hand trauma a discussion of accessibility to healthcare in America how the Begin Within Today journal was born of her own experience that she has seen over 50+ doctors throughout her chronic illness experience the importance of reducing toxins in our everyday lives, from EMFs to diet

Have you attempted a gut cleanse or functional medicine treatment and felt terrible? So bad that you weren’t able to complete the protocol? In this episode we cover the topic of Herxheimer Reactions which are setbacks or symptom flares that occur during a treatment plan. In a gut cleanse, this is due to the endotoxins released by yeast and microbes when they break down during antifungal or antibiotic treatment. When the body becomes overburdened or overwhelmed by a sudden release of toxins the immune system goes on high alert, triggering systemic inflammation. In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss how to cope with a gut cleanse as well as elimination diets and other functional approaches that can drive Herxheimer Reactions.

In this episode, Sarah hears from Alexis Chesney, a naturopathic physician in Vermont who specializes in Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. She is also author of the book “Preventing Lyme and Other Tick-Borne Diseases”. Alexis became interested in Lyme disease when a previously healthy friend and colleague developed many mysterious symptoms which turned out to be caused by Lyme disease.Dr. Chesney describes some of the treatments she has found effective over the years including antibiotics and herbal medicines. She also explains a Herxheimer reaction, a worsening of symptoms, which is caused by toxins that are released when bacteria die off. She describes how she treats patients who are experiencing a Herxheimer reaction, including herbal medicines, diet and hydration. Dr. Chesney examines some of the other tick-borne diseases that she sees in patients including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Bartonellosis. She notes that Bartonellosis can also be caused by flea bites and cat scratches. Dr. Chesney shares her experience about some of the herbal treatments available for Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections, touching on the other forms that Lyme bacteria take including the round form and biofilm. She cites a book by Stephen Buhner as well as other resources available for those who are interested in herbal treatments. Dr. Chesney tells us why she decided to write a book about preventing Lyme disease, and how living and working in an endemic area made her more passionate about prevention. In her book she provides pictures of different kinds of ticks, so that patients and practitioners are able to correctly identify ticks and understand which diseases they may carry, and describes in detail many ways people can prevent getting a tick bite in the first place.Dr. Chesney shares with us a bit about her own practice, including collaborations over the years with an herbalist, medical doctors and currently a nurse practitioner. She points to the different roles practitioners have in a patient's care, including primary care physicians and specialists such as neurologists and cardiologists.

Mason: (00:06) Okay. Nirala Jacobi? Nirala Jacobi: (00:07) Very good. Mason: (00:08) Yeah, yay. Nirala Jacobi: (00:12) Yes. Mason: (00:13) Okay. Guys, got to do it in person today, which is- Nirala Jacobi: (00:17) What were the chances of that? Mason: (00:19) Considering you live in Wilson's Creek, I think they're pretty good. But in terms of the chances of doing it, two people, that's a party but I think that's a legal party at these times, isn't it? Nirala Jacobi: (00:29) These days, it is. Mason: (00:31) Oh, pretty legal. Goji is sitting in the room if you hear Goj wrestling around, but dogs don't count. Guys, we're talking about SIBO. We got the SIBO Doctor here. I'm following you on Instagram for, I think, like three years. Nirala Jacobi: (00:51) Wow. Okay. Mason: (00:51) Yeah. I've been aware of your work. SIBO has been one of those things I used to say, facetiously, that it got trendy about three years ago in terms of I don't know where you see the mass awareness come about in the naturopathic and medical circles or whether it's even really accepted in the medical circles but, obviously, you would have watched the trend occur and then the mass misdiagnosis and then realisation that we're actually able to test and find out that it is this SIBO, which we'll find out from you what it is. Why did it, all of a sudden, hit mass consciousness? What I see a few years ago anyway. Nirala Jacobi: (01:42) I'm going to go back nine years. I've been a naturopathic doctor for about 22 years now. I have practised in Montana and saw everything from heart disease to urinary tract infections to actual IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. We had really good result rates, but there was always a subset of patients that just did not improve. Then fast forward nine years ago, I sat in a lecture at one of our conferences and heard about SIBO. It was like a light bulb went on because it explained those cases that just didn't improve with conventional naturopathic approaches even to irritable bowel syndrome. Nirala Jacobi: (02:27) Then, I started to become an expert in SIBO. I moved here about 15 years ago, Australia, but I became an expert and started lecturing for other supplement companies and to practitioners and started a breath testing company because there was just nothing here at all about SIBO. I think one of the reasons why it has really exponentially grown the interest is if you think that about 11% of the world's industrialised nation has IBS. IBS, according to conventional medical texts and the conventional medical approach, has no real cure. Nirala Jacobi: (03:18) To find something that actually is the cause of IBS that is so profoundly responsive to treatment, I think, really gave hope to a lot of people. Now, of course, with that comes the fact that SIBO is often, as you mentioned, I do think there is an element of overdiagnosis. Everybody just basically treats according to the symptoms, which is not what I recommend at all. Because in that case, you can use antimicrobials and things like that for far too long. Nirala Jacobi: (03:53) I think it has to do with the fact that there really wasn't other options for people. They really improved when they began to treat SIBO, or I saw a dramatic improvement in my patients when we finally treated the cause rather than just giving probiotics and giving fibre and giving all of the stuff that we know how to do, and people were actually getting worse, not better with those approaches. That was really my journey into this. Mason: (04:22) That was probably about a time when I think naturopathic medicine got a little bit more integrated even. There were all these different pockets. All of a sudden, naturopaths, even though they were specialising in particular areas, became aware of just all these different specialisations, became I did say trendy for that reason, because it was about the end of that era where people were really trusting health coaches who would read up about the symptoms of SIBO and, therefore, put their clients onto an antimicrobial or whatever it was and just flying blind. You've got the breath test of your business where I see it's like if you're in Chinese medicine, you are doing pulse and tongue and the questions diagnosis. If you're in naturopathic medicine, you need that testing most of the time, I'd imagine. Nirala Jacobi: (05:25) Yeah. I'm a gastrointestinal specialist. I don't just do SIBO. I specialise in functional gastrointestinal disorders, so I do a number of tests. This, I think, is a big shortcoming of practitioners where they consider the finances of ordering a test for a patient. I always tell practitioners that I teach, "You're not their accountant. You don't know if they want to test or not want to test, but it's your job to give them the best options and the diagnosis," because if you're just reading, you're not going to get better because SIBO is a really distinct condition that requires a really strategic approach. There's different kinds of SIBO. Mason: (06:10) That's always what happens. Yeah. It's the same with PCOS or whatever it is. There's different arms. Obviously, there's different sources. There's mainly four major causes, is that right? Nirala Jacobi: (06:25) There's four major groups of causes. Mason: (06:27) Okay, okay. Nirala Jacobi: (06:29) But maybe what we should do is backtrack and really define what SIBO is, right? Mason: (06:33) Yeah, good idea. Well leading, you can tell you have a podcast. Nirala Jacobi: (06:35) Yeah. All right. Let's talk about ... so that people can really understand that it's not just bacterial overgrowth, and as soon as you kill the bacteria, boom, that's it, you're cured. In some instances, that's the case, but it's actually the exception rather than the norm. But SIBO stands for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It's a condition where bacteria that are typically usually found in the large intestine are, for some reason, found in the small intestine. Nirala Jacobi: (07:03) Now, the surface area of your small intestine is about the surface area of a double tennis court. Imagine having a massive bacterial overgrowth right where you absorb your nutrients, where you release your enzymes, where you do all of these different important digestive functions and, all of a sudden, that surface area is just chock-a-block with bacteria. These bacteria ferment the food that you're eating into hydrogen gas. There's a group of bacteria or a phylum called proteobacteria. The main gram-negative bacteria in that group are Klebsiella, Proteus, E. coli, those types of bacteria that are the biggest culprit for causing SIBO. Nirala Jacobi: (07:47) Why is this happening? This is how we get into the underlying causes. I think one of the main driving cause of SIBO is, imagine you've gone to Bali, you had a case of food poisoning, or if your listener is in America, you've gone somewhere else and you had food poisoning. You came home, it resolved, but then you still have ongoing digestive symptoms. Actually, over time, they become worse, you go to the doctor, they diagnose you with IBS. That is the classic scenario. Nirala Jacobi: (08:19) What happens there is the bacteria that caused the food poisoning are not the bacteria that are causing SIBO, but they're the bacteria that are damaging to the enteric nervous system, which is really the motility, the brain of your gut. You are meant to have this innate ability to clear bacteria from the upper gut, because the body doesn't want them there. You're supposed to sweep them all towards the small intestine. When you've had a case of food poisoning that results in this damage, you actually cannot effectively clear these bacteria from your upper gut. Mason: (08:55) What is it that's affected in the small intestine and it stops you from having the motility to move it out? Nirala Jacobi: (09:03) This part of the nervous system is called the migrating motor complex. It's a part of the enteric nervous system. Enteric just means digestive or your gut. It's basically the brain in the gut. This particular section of the small intestine is meant to clear these bacteria out every 90 minutes on an empty stomach. Imagine that you've had this food poisoning and it damaged that section or that particular part of what clears the gut out in the upper gut. Nirala Jacobi: (09:32) That actually can be tested with a blood test. We're trying to get it to Australia. Because of COVID, we've had some issues. But we do want to offer this test for people to test for these antibodies, because if you know that's the cause, the proper treatment for SIBO for you would be to have antimicrobials, whether that's the conventional antibiotics that are indicated for this or herbs. Then you must follow it up with something called a prokinetic, which is a medicine that aims to reset this migrating motor complex. That's probably the biggest group of people that have this as an underlying cause. Nirala Jacobi: (10:10) But then you also have people that just were totally stressed out for a long time. Chronic stress, as you probably have discussed this before, causes you to be in this chronic fight or flight. If you're in chronic fight or flight, you're not in rest and digest, it turns off your digestion. These natural antibiotic fluids, like hydrochloric acid, bile, digestive enzymes that are meant to kill bacteria are very poorly produced and, therefore, you suffer not just from maldigestion, but then also bacterial overgrowth. That's a different kind of cause of SIBO that then wouldn't necessarily require the prokinetics. Mason: (10:50) Like a stealthy, slow-grown... Nirala Jacobi: (10:54) Yeah, yeah. Mason: (10:54) I like that you're just actually bringing up those antibacterial fluids. I was going to ask you, and you did it straight away. Nirala Jacobi: (11:04) Yeah. Then the other one, there's more, the fourth group ... The first one would be a matter of a problem with motility. That is not just this, what we call, post-infectious IBS. It can also be hypothyroidism, other autoimmune diseases, mould exposure. All kinds of things can cause this problem with motility. Then you have these digestive factors, and not a big one because a lot of people don't think about this, but previous abdominal surgery that causes scar tissue known as adhesions that actually attach to the small intestine in the abdominal cavity and cause like a kink in the garden hose. That prevents bacteria from leaving the small intestine. Also for that, you would need prokinetics. You can see how it's so much more intricate than just, "Here are some antibiotics," or "Here's berberine and here's Allimax." Nirala Jacobi: (11:59) One last thing I'll say about SIBO before the next question is that there are two groups. I've mentioned the proteobacteria that produce hydrogen. There's another group of ancient organisms. They probably live on Mars, too. Honestly, they're like extremophiles. They live on the bottom of the ocean. There are these ancient archaea. They're not even bacteria. They produce methane. Methane, we know, causes constipation. If you're somebody that's been diagnosed with SIBO methane or SIBO-C or SIBO constipation, it's likely that your methane is high. That's a different kind of treatment. That's starting to be thought of as actually a separate condition. That's advanced SIBO discussion. Mason: (12:46) I like that. We always got this travelling of these bacteria up through the ... Is it the ileocecal valve? Nirala Jacobi: (12:55) Ileocecal valve. Mason: (12:57) Ileocecal valve. Is that a constant occurrence of reality? Nirala Jacobi: (13:00) No. Mason: (13:00) No? Nirala Jacobi: (13:01) No, that is not how it happens. These bacteria, they are normal in very, very small amounts. Nothing in your body is really sterile. Nothing really, even though we think it is, but it's not really. Mason: (13:17) But we've been told it is. Nirala Jacobi: (13:17) Yes, exactly. Mason: (13:17) Programmed. Nirala Jacobi: (13:18) Yeah. It's like modern medicine at the time thought that's what it was, but it turns out that one of the most famous bacteria that survives the stomach is H. pylori. We know it can survive very well there. But you have maybe 1,000 bacteria or colony-forming unit per mil in the upper gut, just below the stomach, the duodenum. Then as you progress towards the large intestine, actually, the diversity and the sheer number of bacteria increases. That's normal. Nirala Jacobi: (14:00) These bacteria, even though gram-negatives that cause SIBO, are actually not pathogens. They're called pathobionts. Pathobionts are organisms that you normally find in low amounts. But when they get overgrown, they become pathogenic. I often tell people, my patients, I say, "Your gut is like a white supremacists neighbourhood. It's just one kind of bacteria, and you need diversity and you need low numbers of those organisms." That's what we're aiming for. Mason: (14:36) There's, I guess, an as above, so below, we've sterilised everything in our environment, in our house, and we have low bacterial biodiversity there, we're going to see low bacterial biodiversity internally. Is there a particular macro or even micronutrient cycles that that gram-negative bacteria ... What did you say? What was the group? Nirala Jacobi: (15:02) The group is called proteobacteria. Mason: (15:03) Proteobacteria. Is there anything that would feed them excessively? Nirala Jacobi: (15:08) No, it's basically food. Those bacteria are usually found in higher amounts in the large intestine. They're normal there. A pathobiont becomes problematic when it outgrows its environment or the other bacteria in that location. They've actually just did a microbiome assessment study on the small intestine. I think the other reason, just to briefly sidetrack to get back to your first question, why is this such a big deal now, is because we know so much more. Nirala Jacobi: (15:44) The Human Microbiome Project that's undergoing, it's like discovering the universe, because what happened before we were able to actually understand what was happening in the small intestine, we couldn't culture out these organisms because they would die. They were anaerobes. They couldn't be cultured out. Now that we have this different technology that uses RNA and DNA, we can understand far more. Now we actually understand the normal microbiome of the small intestine a lot more. It's totally fascinating to be in this field of microbiome research. Mason: (16:26) Of the large intestine bacterial testing and analysis of the biome, testing has got a little bit more efficacy with that, is that right? Nirala Jacobi: (16:33) Oh, way more. Mason: (16:34) Way more? Nirala Jacobi: (16:36) Way more, because it used to be culture-based, it turns out it's like fairy dust of what actually is in the large intestine as a representation of the ... We know about Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. That is literally just 2% to 5% of your entire microbiome. There are so many more species that do fascinating things. Mason: (16:59) We've had the chat on the podcast a couple of times of why just throwing a probiotic in the gut is ... Quite often, you can get a little bit more sophisticated. Nirala Jacobi: (17:09) I think we're at that place now where ... I'm somebody who used to just do a probiotic. "Yeah, just a couple of Bifido, couple of Lacto, you're good." But now, I'm way more strain-specific. I would use Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 if you're constipated. I'm not going to necessarily give a whole combination of products, or I give you Lactobacillus rhamnosus if you have leaky gut and eczema, for example. It's a lot more fun now than it used to be. Mason: (17:46) Yeah, I can imagine. It's like rather than just having your shotgun, you got the Men in Black chamber. You walk and there's all different types of guns and grenades all over the wall, but in a more life-giving kind of ... Like a seed gun. Nirala Jacobi: (18:01) I like that. Actually, this brings up a really important point, is that even when I went to naturopathic medical school, it was taught to us that we could reseed the gut. Remember that? Mason: (18:15) Mm-hmm (affirmative). Nirala Jacobi: (18:15) We cannot do that. These Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, they are response modifiers. They actually do something that is not involving reseeding. If you've lost a lot of your native species because you were on chronic antibiotics for acne, or Lyme disease, or whatever that may be, if you've lost a lot of your species or have really reduced them, probiotics will not reseed what you've lost. You can't do that. It's a really important point because some practitioners still preach this method, but I had to really switch my thinking. I tell my patients, "I'm going to give you this probiotic for this symptom. I'm not going to give it to you because you're reseeding." You can't do that. Not if it's 5% or 2% of the gut. Mason: (19:01) In terms of it being for the symptoms specifically, is that because the probiotic is able to do it like having a short-term effect within the gut and then it's on its way? Nirala Jacobi: (19:11) Yes, exactly. Exactly. That's what probiotic research is really good at, is seeing what symptoms a particular strain can alleviate. Mason: (19:24) Obviously, we've touched that medication and antibiotics can be another reason why we could lead to SIBO and IBS. Nirala Jacobi: (19:33) Medications like proton pump inhibitors that stop stomach acid, there's some debate whether or not, but I have seen people definitely have a problem with SIBO after using chronically proton pump inhibitors, and others that are more slowing the gut down. Medications like opiates and things like that, morphine will really slow it down. But then that's pretty temporary, you're not going to see chronic SIBO with that. Mason: (20:05) Yeah. The stress factor, you're looking at a combination, mould exposure, stress, and antibiotic here and there, it's kind of a cocktail of reasons, I imagine. Nirala Jacobi: (20:18) This is always the overwhelming part for people. It's like, "Oh, my God, where do I even begin?" But this is where a really skilled practitioner can ... I actually have a questionnaire that you can get on thesibodoctor.com. That is a questionnaire about finding the cause for SIBO. You can download it, it's free, as is the diet that I've devised for SIBO. You can take that to your practitioner and it can whittle it down to what the possible causes are. It goes through these four groups of causes. Mason: (20:52) That's cool. Something that I really like about your approach is I'm hearing just on your website right here, you've got the patient course, practitioner course. Obviously, you're a practitioner and you've got a focus on the patient being able to understand it and get to the source themselves, getting, for lack of a better word, empowered around it, getting informed, and then bridging the way that they can then take that questionnaire and they can create a dialogue between them and their practitioner. Mason: (21:25) It's something we always ... You go there automatically. It's why I like your work. It's something we always try to do and talk about on the podcast when we're chatting with practitioners as well, because it diffuses it. You've even got great resources there of like once you've treated yourself, how are you going to stay out of that practitioner office, which it's overlooked quite heavily. I don't know what your thoughts are on that. Nirala Jacobi: (21:49) The SIBO Success Plan, which is the patient course, it's an eight-hour course that goes through everything from leaky gut to all these different things, it really was born out of a necessity. In a perfect world, everybody would have a practitioner that is SIBO savvy that can nail this thing for you. But I got calls from people or emails from people in Finland and from all over the world that just said, "There's no one here. No one can help me." This is the course that really had to be made for people like that. They don't have a practitioner. Mason: (22:26) You go straight to sibodoctor.com/sibo-success-plan/. So good. Eight hours? Nirala Jacobi: (22:35) It's eight hours because it's eight modules. One of the reasons I shouldn't say I love SIBO, because SIBO is a medical condition, but if a practitioner is listening to this, if you can master SIBO, you got the gut down. You understand practically most of the things that can go wrong with the gut, bearing in mind that there are other issues that are more anatomical problems and stuff. Nirala Jacobi: (23:06) But everything from, like I mentioned, leaky gut, the effects of stress on the gut, what to do when you're constipated, how to help yourself with different home treatments, I have an online dispensary guide that guides you through all the major products that are out there that are for SIBO, and pros and cons and stuff like that, and food sensitivities, histamine intolerance, salicylates, oxalates, SIFO. SIFO is small intestine fungal overgrowth, which often accompanies SIBO. There's a lot there that I had to cover to really make it comprehensive for people. Mason: (23:46) Do you do a leaky gut analysis on a patient as well? Is there always going to be a presence of SIBO and therefore- Nirala Jacobi: (23:55) Not always. No. Mason: (23:57) No? Nirala Jacobi: (23:57) The thing is SIBO can cause leaky gut. Mason: (24:00) Can cause... Right. Nirala Jacobi: (24:00) But just because you have leaky gut doesn't mean you have SIBO. But it is a major cause of it. They've even done research on, all right, well, one month after clearing SIBO, the intestinal permeability was also resolved. If you have the wherewithal and the fortitude to get rid of SIBO, then you can also get rid of leaky gut. Mason: (24:24) I think it's important that you said you do love SIBO because it's, as I mentioned before in the podcast, we're at that point where my mum, she's nine years post-aneurysm, 24-hour care, in a wheelchair all the time. We've done well to keep her off medications and keep her going well, but it's just this bloating that's been there and it finally got to the point where we're like, "Right, we got to test for SIBO," and so we've got there. We're doing the breath test thing. Is it five days? Nirala Jacobi: (24:52) No, it depends on if you're constipated. Mason: (24:55) All right. Nirala Jacobi: (24:55) If you're constipated, it's a 48-hour prep for this test because what we want to do is have bacterial fermentation really down, really reduced before you then start the test, which is a three-hour test where, first, you get up in the morning, you drink this very sugary drink. That's a prebiotic substance that promotes the growth of those bacteria that you've starved over the past two days, one or two days. Then you're measuring your breath every 20 minutes. If we see a rise of hydrogen or methane before 90 minutes, that's the window of SIBO. Mason: (25:36) Yeah. If you get the methane, then we're going into that real nerdy, new sector of SIBO. Is that right? Nirala Jacobi: (25:46) Yeah. [Laughing]. Mason: (25:47) For that instance, my stepdad, he's managing that and he's just looking at like, "All right, test, okay, we can handle it," and trying to get a bunch of carers to all unite and align on that and then looking at having the management of the diet. I think the SIBO diet is the thing. That's why I say I appreciate you saying that you love SIBO because ... But I am curious when you're approaching, how do you keep the excitement up with your patients when you're- Nirala Jacobi: (26:21) That's a really good question. I think that even just this morning, I spoke with somebody who has been ill for so long, and I'm not saying that just curing her SIBO is going to be the be-all, end-all. People are complicated. There's no one approach to it. You can have somebody who has childhood trauma. We know from studies that even childhood trauma can cause what they call adverse childhood events. It can cause a major shift in the microbiome, for example. Nirala Jacobi: (26:53) You can have somebody like that that you work with in finding a good practitioner around trauma and regulating their own nervous system. Then you have somebody who just discovered that their house was full of mould, or you have somebody who has an autoimmune disorder or chronic viral infection. It always is different presentations. It forced me to really become really good at all these different conditions, and that's why I think if you can really not just look at SIBO, but the underlying causes for me is where it's really at where I continue to learn also. Mason: (27:32) Yeah. I guess that's the exciting part, is knowing that you're not just going to have another random go at figuring out what's wrong with you, but you're actually ticking things off to be like, "Look, if it's not this, great. We know it's not this. We know it's not this. We know it's not moulds. That means you're getting closer." I think just the trouble is finding a good practitioner. Nirala Jacobi: (27:56) We have an answer for that. On thesibodoctor.com, we have also the SIBO Mastery Program for practitioners. After they've completed all three levels, they're eligible to be listed free as a SIBO doctor approved practitioner, so all the people that are listed in there. We had to purge a whole bunch. We had to start fresh from scratch this January. As we go along, this list will get bigger and bigger, but they all have taken these very extensive training courses that covers all of these topics. I think you're pretty safe. A lot of them do Zoom calls. I will say that. Nowadays, we're forced to do more and more virtually. Mason: (28:37) Which is amazing. Nirala Jacobi: (28:39) It's amazing. It has its drawbacks. I do, as a practitioner, a hands-on practitioner that does physical assessment and certain manoeuvres, I miss that part but- Mason: (28:50) Can you explain what the physical assessment and manoeuvres are? Nirala Jacobi: (28:54) In America, we're trained like physicians. We're actually like naturopathic GPs, if you will. We're trained in physical exams. I always enjoyed that part of my practise, too. Some people have things like the ileocecal valve problem, which is the valve between the small and the large intestine and it can be stuck open, and then you have this backflow problem with bacteria. You can easily manipulate that with using different manoeuvres, or the hiatal hernia manoeuvre, which is part of the stomach moving into the thorax. It's those kinds of things, as well as physical exam and stuff like that. You get a lot of information from looking at somebody's body, for sure. Mason: (29:39) Yeah, 100%. I can get the drawback, if we can get back to getting in-person as much as possible, great. Otherwise, if you're in Finland and you don't have a practitioner, "Oh, well, that's wonderful." Nirala Jacobi: (29:49) Honestly, well, 90% of my practise is virtual, and then sometimes I'm like, "Okay, stand up, lift your shirt, press there." That will have the work. Mason: (29:58) Yeah, you do what you have to do. Nirala Jacobi: (29:59) Yeah. Mason: (29:59) Do you ever recommend for people to be physically manipulating their own gut with massage as treatment? Nirala Jacobi: (30:07) That's a great question because let's hypothetically say ... Well, let me rephrase it. Yes, if it's for just the ileocecal valve. I do have a little video on my Facebook page, The SIBO Doctor, where I go through how to do it, how to actually release the ileocecal valve yourself. It's not going to be as great as when a trained practitioner does it, but it's good. The massaging of the gut, let's hypothetically say that you're a patient that's listening to this and you're like, "Oh yeah, I may have SIBO." Nirala Jacobi: (30:45) You may have had abdominal surgery for things like you may have had caesarian or you may have had your appendix out or you may have your gallbladder out or the myriad of other things that would be considered routine surgeries, and you have adhesions. That is not a good thing to massage your own belly because it can trigger more scar tissue formation, but light touch, we're just talking light touch. For that scenario, I usually refer to a visceral manipulation practitioner. Mason: (31:17) What's that? Nirala Jacobi: (31:19) Visceral manipulation, so the viscera are the organ up in the abdomen. It's extremely light touch but they are trained to actually feel the rhythms of these organs. Don't ask me what that is. Mason: (31:31) Actually, Tahnee, my fiancée, she's a Chi Nei Tsang practitioner. Do you know that? It's Daoist abdominal massage. Nirala Jacobi: (31:37) Oh, okay. Yeah. Mason: (31:38) We've talked a little bit about it. I was wondering whether that's what you were talking about. Nirala Jacobi: (31:41) Right. No. Visceral manipulation, as far as I know, there's a group from The Barral Institute and they have a very specific technique to very gently break down scar tissue or break up scar tissue. Mason: (31:58) Okay. That's good to get that resource because there's people listening to the podcast, like Tahnee's not practising and she gets asked a lot about doing abdominal massage, so to be able to tune in with another group of practitioners that are doing this I think will help a lot of people. All right. Well, that's going to be in the show notes, gang. When we do get to treatment and, obviously, the dietary charts, there's different phases of healing of SIBO? Nirala Jacobi: (32:27) No, so what happened is, okay, so in a nutshell, the food that promotes or that feeds the bacteria are foods that are high in fibre. That makes sense. Those are healthy foods that feed our own microbiome. That's why we want to eat them. In a case of SIBO, the bacteria are like miles further up so they're fermenting in the wrong place, and so you want to minimise those foods. Those foods are known as from FODMAPs, so Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. Did I miss it all? Did we miss one? Anyways, so these are fermentable fibres. Mason: (33:06) Forgot the A? Nirala Jacobi: (33:09) And. Mason: (33:09) Oh, okay. Nirala Jacobi: (33:13) I know, right? Those are the foods that typically are to be avoided when you suffer from SIBO. What I did is I took that diet from Monash. Fantastic work that they did over there to really pinpoint this. Before then, we didn't really know. I took that and put my own spin on it because I found even with that, people were reacting. I made it more restrictive, also added in SCD stuff and that type of thing, because I'm a very structured person and I don't like wishy-washy, vague treatment plans, and so I needed to structure it for myself. Nirala Jacobi: (33:49) What I found is that I got very good results by having a diet that was in two phases. Then I called it the bi-phasic diet. Phase one was the most restrictive part where you have almost no grains and no fruit and really the high-fermenting foods, and you are basically getting tested for SIBO and you're waiting for your test result. I was already seeing dramatic improvement by the time they came back and yes, indeed, the test says it's SIBO, so then we initiated antimicrobials. That then prevented a massive die-off reaction of just throwing in antimicrobials in a system that was still really activated. Mason: (34:33) Okay. You've got them going for, what, a couple of weeks now? Nirala Jacobi: (34:35) A couple weeks, yeah. Yeah. I really did it for practitioners so that they could also tailor it. It still has different food ... Some people are very sensitive to histamines when they have SIBO, and that means no fermented foods, so no sauerkraut, those kinds of- Mason: (34:55) That was very confusing for people, I think, about 10 years ago when capers and sauerkraut and body ecology diet and all that were going off real big time, and then some people will just get these intense levels of bloating every time they'd eat sauerkraut and kimchis and they wouldn't get it. They're like, "What's going on? This is a healthy food." Nirala Jacobi: (35:14) "Persist. Persist. Keep it up. It's just your body detoxing." No, it's your body reacting. Mason: (35:18) Yeah. Herxing became the ultimate. Just, "Oh, it's just a Herx." Nirala Jacobi: (35:20) Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Mason: (35:24) Is that normally enough to reduce the die-off from being too hard for someone just recently getting on the diet for a couple of weeks? Nirala Jacobi: (35:32) It depends. The other thing is if somebody's really constipated, I don't start antimicrobials until at least even with the aid of magnesium oxide or something, I get their bowels moving, because if you add in antimicrobials in a really constipated system, you really are begging for a Herxheimer reaction because the river is not flowing, there's algae growing, it's muddy, it's not moving, it cannot clear out these toxins. I get the system ready before I add in antimicrobials. Mason: (36:06) That's the most important part, is getting the river flowing. Nirala Jacobi: (36:11) If you're constipated. Mason: (36:11) If you're constipated. Nirala Jacobi: (36:12) Yeah, I would say that that's often when people feel really horrible, when they start something like that and it's just not working. It's ironic because with these archaea or these methanogens as we call them, these organisms that produce methane, once it's actually reduced by the help of antimicrobials, you can expect that the bowel returns to normal, but you can't expect it if you're using some form of garlic extract to combat your methanogens. It will take you a couple of months, or if not longer, to really reduce that level to such an extent that you can have spontaneous bowel movements. Mason: (36:53) What antimicrobials are you normally using? Nirala Jacobi: (36:57) When we talk about treatment, there's three kinds. You have your herbs. You have your conventional antibiotics, and these are very specific antibiotics that are not for ear infections or sinusitis. Then you have a third treatment called the elemental diet. Herbs are usually berberine-containing plants, some essential oils like oregano, clove, those kinds of things. There's a bunch of herbs that I use and an extract or a low-fructans kind of garlic. Garlic typically is a FODMAP food, but if we use it with a high-allicine content, we can use quite a lot of it without a problem for these archaea, and we know that they're really effective for that. Then when you look at antibiotics, you're looking at rifaximin, which is a type of antibiotic that stays in the small intestine, doesn't get absorbed, and it's bile-soluble so it works in that perfect environment. Mason: (37:57) Like the way doxycycline works, I think. Nirala Jacobi: (38:00) No, doxy is way more broader and you will absorb some of that. Rifaximin is not absorbed. It stays in the upper gut. Then you have neomycin for the methanogens. Some people use metronidazole or Flagyl, and I shy away from that because I think as practitioners, we're the custodians of our patient's microbiome and we have to really respect that. Some people, I have seen some shocking microbiomes, let me tell you, by just looking at stool tests and things like that. Stool tests will not give you any information about the small intestine but, very often, it's not like it's only in the small intestine. Problems continue on with the large intestine. Mason: (38:44) You're going to have an overgrowth most likely in the large intestine? Nirala Jacobi: (38:45) Yeah. I've seen microbiomes that are completely denuded, like a clear-cut rainforest, and you're trying to regrow it and no wonder they're so reactive. You had actually mentioned my last podcast guest on my show was the guy who wrote Fibre Fueled, Dr. B., Dr. Will B. Mason: (39:10) Dr. Will B. Yeah, that's what I call him instead of [mumbling]. Nirala Jacobi: (39:11) Bulsiewicz. I think it's Bulsiewicz. Mason: (39:15) Yeah, I can never... We were in Arizona. Nirala Jacobi: (39:19) Oh, right. Mason: (39:20) I met him at the mindbodygreen weekend. We had a we called it dads gone wild night... Nirala Jacobi: (39:28) Oh, do tell. Do tell. Mason: (39:29) Yeah, it wasn't that exciting. It was just me, the DJ, and Dr. B just having chats about the gut and veganism and getting on the gluten-free beers. Nirala Jacobi: (39:44) All right. That sounds like a hell of a party. Mason: (39:49) Yeah, it actually was. I think tequila made its way at some point, which is wonderful. Nirala Jacobi: (39:54) You were in Arizona after all. Mason: (39:55) Exactly. Nirala Jacobi: (39:56) Anyway, I really appreciated having him on the show because here he was, a gastroenterologist, epidemiologist, highly, highly trained specialist, and he had a sort of "Come to Jesus" moment when he really started to study the microbiome and started to work on it for himself. Now, he's like a complete convert about protecting the microbiome and regrowing it. I just think he's done a really good job with that book. Mason: (40:25) Is that where his book is coming from? From that angle or- Nirala Jacobi: (40:28) Fibre Fueled, yeah. I'm not his publicist, but I have the book and I read it and it's pretty good. Half the book is recipes, so vegan recipes, and how to regrow it. One word of caution, don't start with SIBO with that. We had this conversation. You can listen in on The SIBO Doctor podcast if you want to listen to the Feeding Your Microbiome. That shift is slowly happening. There's a lot more respect for the microbiome. I know of a lot of physicians who look back on medicine, on what it's done with antibiotics with real regret of like this was the wrong thing to do to just prescribe amoxicillin for every child's ear infection, or to prescribe for sinusitis, for these types of things. Still, to this day, it's happening day in, day out not just here but across the world where it's just way over prescribed, and it will catch up with you. Mason: (41:33) It's an important part of any practitioner's arsenal to be able to reflect on what they're doing and not be too concrete and make sure you don't have too much morality and judgement of yourself if you did just follow the doctrine at the time, but make sure you've got the capacity to... motility to actually move on to what's important, because I know I wasn't really up on the conversation on testing the microbiome and I think we were chatting about that. Mason: (42:01) Since then, I've got a naturopathic friend who he's basically moved a huge amount of his practise over to testing the microbiome and talking about how it takes out a lot of the guesswork, not only is it the antibiotics and seeing exactly the effect that they're having, which is great as well because you know what you've wiped out, but just dietarily as well, if it's vegan, high-carb, if it's carnivore or just high ... Whatever it is. Nirala Jacobi: (42:32) Yeah, carnivore, I would never promote. Never because it is so hard on the microbiome. It just is. That's basically just meat, and unless you live in countries where, for centuries, that's what you did and I just ... Anyways, that's digressing but they are, and we agreed on that. We totally agreed that most diets, really if it already has a diet, then it's a fad mostly. What we know is where people live the longest and, to me, that's evidence and that's the Blue Zones. Nirala Jacobi: (43:14) That's Dan Buettner's work. He wrote a book called the Blue Zones where people lived to be the oldest in the world, fully functional, still doing their daily work, very cognitively attentive, and very happy. There were seven hotspots in the world. They all had different things, but what they all had in common was 80% plant-based diet. For me, I'd go by that. I'd go by that. If people do well on veganism, then do that because the more plants you can eat, the more diverse your bacterial blueprint will be. Mason: (43:56) That's always with the Blue Zones. Yeah, I first heard about it ... The book I got was Healthy Till 100, I believe it was. That book included a couple of other places. I'll put it in the show notes, guys, the scientifically proven secrets of, I think, the world's longest living people. Vilcabamba was in there in Ecuador, which I think isn't in there with Dan's work but, otherwise, it's like Okinawa, Sardinia. Nirala Jacobi: (44:26) Yeah, and Loma Linda which is like eating processed vegetarian food. Mason: (44:33) I think that their faith gets involved. Nirala Jacobi: (44:33) Yeah, I don't know, but they got there in there, Sardinia. Mason: (44:37) Maybe they're just right. Nirala Jacobi: (44:38) Maybe. Well, who knows? Mason: (44:40) Maybe their prayers are just better than health. Nirala Jacobi: (44:41) Yeah, respect Loma Linda, California. Mason: (44:44) Oh, that's right, John Robbins was the author of that book I was talking about. I like him. He balances out, because I think the thing with Dan's work which always I'm like, "So good," then he's like ... because I'm only talking about his behalf and it's like because it's 80% to 90% plant food and then 100% is the obvious conclusion, which I don't find to be the obvious conclusion. Nirala Jacobi: (45:09) No, because I think and I will say if you look at the standard bi-phasic diet just to keep it in the SIBO spectrum, the standard bi-phasic diet is very animal protein heavy. Then I created a vegetarian bi-phasic diet, which is very amenable to vegans, and it's not just about taking the meat. That was a lot of work that I co-authored that with our clinical nutritionist, Anne Criner, here at our clinic. Then we have a third one which is the histamine bi-phasic. But there is something. Nirala Jacobi: (45:41) A lot of people have tried veganism and it's just like, constitutionally, they just couldn't do it. I don't know what the answer is for those people because there are some people that just they get weak. Dr. B would probably argue that he thinks that everybody can live like ... I think, I shouldn't speak for him, but I don't know. I find that everybody is a bit different. Mason: (46:09) Yeah, I'm with you as well. I find if you take one part of the body and solely focus on it, same if you're only focusing on the large intestine and the microbiome and not cellular, in particular cellular markers, then I can see how it would be really easy to justify a vegan diet. I was vegan and raw foodist for quite a while and then moved away from that direction and just was really questioning my need to eat a certain amount of domesticated vegetable and fruit matter. Mason: (46:46) Then once I got back into the microbiome, I've really come to peace and to terms with the fact that, "No, you know what, that's ..." I was really rocking. I was rocking with that majority of my well-being, and even moving back into lentils and legumes and beans, which had a huge chip on my shoulder about. But then just staying open to ensuring there's potentially ... Like in the Blue Zones, meats are normally a side dish, and I like that. Nirala Jacobi: (47:15) Yeah. I do, too. I know myself, I haven't eaten red meat in 40 years probably but I eat chicken occasionally. That's my one and only animal that I eat because also the carbon footprint. It's whole 'nother conversation, Mason. Nothing to do with SIBO. But in a nutshell, the diet is a therapeutic diet. It's not a stay-on-it forever diet. Mason: (47:40) Greaaaaat distinction. I'm going to have to get excited about the diet. I'm going to have to get my mum, because I'll let you all know how. Maybe if I can have a chat again, get you back on here after, I'm going to use all your resources, all the listeners are going to ... I'll keep you in the loop of where mum's at, especially. Nirala Jacobi: (48:02) Sure. Mason: (48:03) Yeah, I'll let you know on an intro at some point where she comes back with in the test. If it's positive, then we'll go on that journey together. With meat and impact. Have you tried a wild, invasive deer or anything from around here. It's like- Nirala Jacobi: (48:21) No, but I'm not opposed to it. I trust my body and I just have no affinity towards those things. Red meat, just no. Mason: (48:35) Yeah, that's fair enough. Nirala Jacobi: (48:38) We're really covering a lot of ground, but there's something about the whole blood type thing that I can tell you as a practitioner, that's been nearly a quarter of a century in practise that there's something about that. Blood type As tend to have a little bit harder time with digesting animal protein. Mason: (48:58) Is that just going back to the classic book, The Blood Type Diet? Nirala Jacobi: (49:02) Dr. D'Adamo. Mason: (49:03) Yeah, D'Adamo. That's right. Nirala Jacobi: (49:06) Yeah. Look, it's still got work to do, but I think there's elements that I certainly have seen be proved in practise. For me, I don't just need theories, I actually need evidence. For me, evidentially, I have seen that in practise, that people that are blood type O, they fade sometimes on a vegan diet because I don't know. I never got so fully into it that I can rattle off the science right now, but it has to do with rhesus factor and different ... Well, the theory was really that when we originated ... See, an evolution story. Nirala Jacobi: (49:47) When we originated in Africa, everybody was blood type O because you needed to be able to eat dead animals and stuff. You had a very forgiving type of blood type that was not very reactive. Then as we moved north and into Europe, it wasn't really economical to eat your animals, and so you became more farmers and started to grow things, and that was blood type A. Then as you move further north, you had natural refrigeration, and that was the AB type or the B type, which can handle dairy really well. That's the theory anyways. I can tell you that much. Mason: (50:22) It's a good theory. Nirala Jacobi: (50:23) It's a good theory. Mason: (50:23) That was always the thing with The Blood Type Diet. Nirala Jacobi: (50:26) It checks out. Mason: (50:27) It checks out. I remember The Blood Type Diet was a funny one because every practitioner I've talked to has said there is something to this- Nirala Jacobi: (50:35) Yeah, there's something to it. Mason: (50:36) But the science was never rock solid so it was open for criticism, yet anecdotally, it was on point. I love it. It's good to know. It's good to go into that world because as soon as you get into, as you said, you made that decision, it's why it's hard sometimes to listen to a practitioner talk about diet long-term because you know that the mindset is based on healing. Then as you said, this is a healing- Nirala Jacobi: (51:03) Therapeutic. Mason: (51:03) Therapeutic diet. Huge distinction because, otherwise, you stay in a "I'm sick" mentality long-term. Nirala Jacobi: (51:11) Right. Look, I always tell my patients when you travel ... Well, it's a different world now, but if you were going to see Paris, I don't want you on this diet. I want you to eat baguette and dip it in the cafe au lait. I want you to eat things that you enjoy. Most of the time, when people travelling and they suffer from food sensitivity, it actually miraculously goes away. Of course, celiac disease is a different story, but there is this element of you just having just more endorphins and your secretory IgA goes up and all of that, and people can tolerate a lot of foods that they would not normally tolerate in a happy setting and a happy live-your-life, I want you to drink wine if you're in Italy. Why restrict ourselves to this myopic thinking, it has to look this way? Mason: (52:03) It's refreshing. I like the way that you're bridging over there. It's something that I've always liked about your accessible approach because it's like bridge into what's actually going on and then I'm going to see your bridge out over there to live your life because, obviously, people do get addicted to being sick and something being wrong and then the fear of if I do something outside of the therapeutic- Nirala Jacobi: (52:23) There's a lot of fear. There's a lot of food fear and there's this whole new term of orthorexia. Mason: (52:29) Yeah, exactly. Nirala Jacobi: (52:30) That's a real thing. A lot of people are so concerned about having made some small error on the bi-phasic diet. I'm like, "You've made no error. It's fine." Not just the bi-phasic diet but also anything, really. They get very, very hooked on that they did something wrong, and there's a lot of food fear and that. Imagine, you're sitting down to eat your meal and you're already worried about the food. Sometimes, I tell people sit for two minutes and just appreciate the food, just take a moment and get into a rest and digest before you eat. Mason: (53:13) That's where the prayer comes in, the grace. Nirala Jacobi: (53:16) It used to be prayer, it used to be grace, all of that. That's all. It's a thing. Mason: (53:21) I feel like we go down this rabbit hole, that's probably another podcast talking about the orthorexia. I know it very well. I've had to go. I was so down the rabbit hole of raw foodism. I had to go and start eating things that I swore I would never eat again to start cracking myself out of just like that scrubbing myself clean with my diet. It's hardcore, and it isn't orthorexia, and it isn't eating disorder in varying degrees. But thanks for bringing it up, because especially when you're promoting a therapeutic diet, I always think the duty of care comes with making sure that people and patients are aware not to get stuck in it. Thank you for that. Nirala Jacobi: (54:00) My pleasure. Mason: (54:02) I had really a lot of fun chatting with you. Nirala Jacobi: (54:03) I did, too. We've covered a lot of ground. Mason: (54:06) We've covered a lot of ground. We run really fast on this podcast. Look, let's just repeat it again. The SIBO Doctor podcast, and it was episode 64 and 65 that we just talked about with Dr Will B. Worth probably checking out. Nirala Jacobi: (54:26) It's on iTunes. It's on everywhere. You can go to The SIBO Doctor and just look around. There's resources. All the guides are free downloads, the handout on bringing that to your practitioner in terms of what caused you SIBO. It's a free download. There's a lot of videos, lots of stuff. I'm on Instagram, Dr. Nirala Jacobi, the SIBO Doctor. Mason: (54:46) Perfecto. Thank you so much. Nirala Jacobi: (54:48) Boom. Mason: (54:49) Boom. Nirala Jacobi: (54:50) Mic drop. Mason: (54:52) All right. All right. That didn't work. That was a terrible mic drop. Nirala Jacobi: (54:55) No, that's a very sensitive, very fancy road microphone.

For those who had the pleasure of using a HF communications receiver 50 years ago, it was heaven lots of signal & little noise. These days you hear crud from switch mode power supplies and every conceivable electronic gadget made in China which does not comply with any EMC standards. I think it would be fair to say that 50 years ago every home probably had only one oscillator (LO in BC receiver) generating a detectable signal. These days each home probably has 100-200 or more oscillators all producing noise and the number of inter-modulation enormous. Not allowing electronic gear on air craft is all about avoiding EMC issues. Whilst two pieces of independent equipment may not cause a problem, the inter-mod products between them could easily cause malfunction of navigation or communication equipment."

HOUR 2 All About Silver-- Carolyn Dean MD NDThere is widespread controversy about the use of colloidal silver. Is it safe, is it effective, how do I know what product to trust?On tonight’s radio show, Dr. Carolyn Dean talks about the relationship between the body’s immune system and the natural element of silver.Silver can be considered as a necessary nutrient in the body because it is systematically concentrated in the body to a much higher level than occurs in nature. Since most minerals have been proved to be depleted from our soil and water, the same can be said for silver. Silver ions weaponize white blood cells (WBCs) to do their work. Silver assists the WBCs and the immune system to attack infectious organisms. And what is also known various bodies of research on yeast overgrowth is infectious organisms have gained the upper hand and overwhelm our ability to keep them under control.In fact, it can be confidently declared and scientifically proven that the silver ion is far safer than antibiotics or any other antimicrobial ever created. The characteristics of the silver ion far exceed the capabilities of patented antibiotics, which cannot keep up with bacterial organisms’ ability to mutate, nor do antibiotics work against viruses. In addition, antibiotics have many side effects, such as yeast infections. This is because antibiotics travel deep into the intestinal tract, where they kill the good bacteria along with the bad. It is also known and documented that taking antibiotics over a long time period weakens the body’s immune system.Along with its impressive function as an antimicrobial, consider these other characteristics of Pico Silver:· Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal.· Silver ions are highly effective and the body’s response is nearly instantaneous.· The silver ion is an integral and important part of the body’s immune system response to infections and disease.· The DNA of the body is already pre-programmed to utilize silver to fight infections and disease.· Silver ions are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to all of the tissues of the body and stored on the surface of white blood cells.· The silver ion is bonded to the surface of adult stem cells and causes dedifferentiation of the adult stem cells into the embryonic state leading to tissue regeneration.· New, healthy tissue growth is at least five to six times faster utilizing silver in wound treatment when contrasted with non-silver-treatment.· The silver ion aids the body’s ability to “find” the focal point of treatment, through the body’s cell signaling mechanisms – its electrical conductivity.· The silver ion aids the body’s ability to “digest” the pathogen.· The silver ion aids the body in the correction of the associated complex metabolic consequences associated with long-term infectious states.· The effects of the silver ion in anti-aging approaches is very promising although clinical research has not been fully funded.· The silver ion has a beneficial effect upon co-infections simultaneously.· The silver ion will readily pass the blood-brain barrier, allowing for interface and intervention with neurological diseases such as ALS, MS, polio, spinal meningitis, and viral encephalitis.· The silver ion increases the Red Blood Cell count.· The silver ion is known to negatively affect bacteria through: lethal oxidation, an “intermolecular electron transfer,” resulting in electrocution; a binding and chelating to essential pathogen receptor sites, which defeats the pathogen’s mechanisms of invasion into host cells; an ion non-dependent heightened catalytic action; and cleavage, which fragments (and thereby destroys) essential pathogen/proteinaceous structures.· Once the silver ion ruptures a bacterial staph infection or certain fungal infections, the remaining silver ion particles begin to act as an antidote to the resulting poisons lessening the Herxheimer reaction.· The silver ion has a very high therapeutic value because there is no known lethal dose for silver ions.With all that cellular power, you would expect the testimonials to be profound and pervasive, and indeed, they have been! Enjoy this testimonial from one of our dog-loving customers who used Pico Silver in a critical situation:Fred, our French Bulldog got loose and was hit by a car. We rushed him to the vet and they set his leg and placed in a cast with very specific instructions on how to care for his leg and keep his cast dry. We followed the directions to the letter but within 10 days his wound became septic and the vet wanted to amputate his leg. Fortunately, my buddy Gregg rushed over to my house with Pico Silver. We swabbed his leg hourly and added the solution to his drinking water. Within 3 days his wound was healed and the vet withdrew his recommendation to amputate.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Cody: Thank you for all that you do. I love your podcast.I have multiple chemical sensitivities. If I'm exposed to any chemicals I get severe brain fog, numbness, abdominal pain, seizures, etc. I've seen many doctors over the years, but no one has been able to help. Do you have any suggestions on how I can heal myself from this? I eat primarily vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds and do not take any medications. Cody: I've heard that you do not absorb vitamin c if you consume it with sugar. Does this mean if I eat oranges, kiwis, etc that I will not absorb the vitamin c? Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral!I hope you are safe and doing well. I have a question for my husband. When he occasionally takes naps after eating he wakes up with an upset stomach. He used to get this more often and would take a Tums. He thinks its normal because after having a ginger candy (healthier alternative to Tum’s), it goes away. It’s still happening and I want to find out what the under lying cause is. My husband is very lean and semi-active. He eats gluten (daily bread and cereal) and seldomly has dairy. A few years ago, he had a kidney stone due to high oxalates so he doesn’t eat spinach and limits other high oxalate foods. If he doesn’t want to test, what are some things he can do to figure this out? Clare: I suffer from chronic migraines, interstitial cystitis, arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am only 22 and just in constant pain and looking for a solution. Tammy: Hi , Stephen I am doing treatments for lyme and mold and feel I don’t detox well. I am very sensitive and herx with all the treatments. I think finding out I had mold recently is a key puzzle but I feel something isn’t clearing out the toxins and I feel pretty bad. any suggestion on what to get checked ? I have done so many labs that I think I could probably say yep I have done it check. I have my own personal pharmacy and supplement store at home I feel . Also some doctors say you will feel worse before you feel better and other doctors say you shouldn’t feel worse and if you do you should stop the protocol or treatment . What’s your belief ? Thanks Aaron: Hello! I've been really enjoying listening to the Cabral Concept podcast. After listening to episode #796 on candida, I did have a question: I believe I have some amount of candida myself evidenced by Tenea Versicolor skin rash, brain fog, depression, etc., and I want to try to take anti-fungal herbs like oregano, capryllic acid, etc, to kill the yeast. But I'm afraid that if I start taking them, the candida will develop a resistance to them over time, especially since maybe once a week I indulge in a desert like cake, or pizza or something that feeds candida. Do I need to have these cheat meals less often before I start taking herbal anti-fungals, or are the anti-fungals so strong that the candida won't develop a resistance even if I do have these cheat meals? Thank you! Aaron Anonymous: Hey, I'm one of your wellness practice's private clients (love Laura!) and the reason I remain anonymous is because I work for Allergan and they manufacture this product. I wanted to know your thoughts on the safety of CoolTone. It's rather new, but it's an MMS device similar to Emsculpt. What are your thoughts? Thanks! Malinda: What is the root cause of hernias? Is it a nutritional deficiency? I’ve searched your podcasts and have not seen this issue talked about. After my husband had a inguinal hernia, it seems everyone we talk to has had a hernia or multiple hernias, something I would like to avoid for my husband. Our bodies can’t possibly be that flawed. What can he do nutrition wise to keep intestinal tissue strong to prevent future hernias and what can he do to heal the tissue that was surgically worked on?

Tick Boot Camp’s guest today is Stela Sulzdorf. Ms. Sulzdorf is a 30-year-old yogi from the United Kingdom. She initially started to experience the symptoms of a tick disease when she was just 20 years old, and they forced her to drop out of the University of the Arts London. Her health declined even further in 2016, when she started to have flu-like symptoms and throat infections. She also developed chest pain, knee issues, and started to have seizures. When she finally received a positive Lyme test in February of 2019, she was prescribed Doxycycline. Ms. Sulzdorf had terrible Herxheimer reactions that increased her seizures.

Question: Question on Iodine, Fatigue, and Detox Reaction. Carrie: Remember, iodine belongs to the halogen family and other halogens can bind onto your PT or tyrosine. I have had this before where patients would take iodine and the iodine will push off the fluoride and the chloride and the bromide off of the tyrosine, and so it binds on and now you have essentially a detox reaction. People will say, "I get headaches. I've broken out in rashes. I'm really tired." Because the other halogens have come off the tyrosine and are now floating around your system. I believe in iodine. I'm not sold yet on iodine testing. I feel like there are so many rules of thoughts. But if I use iodine, I warn people of that, of the detox reaction. Chris: What are all the normal things you do for a Herxheimer reaction? Carrie: Wait a minute. Obviously lots of water, exercise, binders, so like fiber and charcoal or zeolite or whatever you're doing to bind this stuff up, clay, those supplements with that sort of stuff in it. Saunas are really good, sweating, dry skin brushing to try to help move it through your body while staying on the iodine. You want the iodine to bind to the tyrosine and not the halogen to rebind because you stopped taking it, which is going to rebind to your tyrosine. I've seen it take up to a couple weeks, depending how halogen toxic that you are.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: John: Hi Dr. Cabral! I occasionally get small red bumps near the last joint on my fingers (often close to the bed of the nail). They don’t hurt but can sometimes itch. I suspect that these could be from a food intolerance, although i haven’t pinned down any food that may be causing them. I’m wondering if you’ve come across this before, and if you have any answers for what may be causing this, as I’ve gotten these on and off for most of my life. Thank you! Lucy: Hi Dr. Cabral! My stepmom is suffering from a ganglion cyst on her palm. It’s not bad yet but she’s had surgery to remove them before and they keep coming back. I did a search on your podcast and didn’t see anything so would love to see if there are natural remedies for treating and preventing ganglion cysts! Thanks for all that you do! Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, First I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being someone I can trust to help me sift through all of the information out there on health, fitness, longevity and wellness. You're the best! A few years ago I started seeing a functional medicine practitioner. She tested my homocysteine levels which came back at a whopping 87! I am an otherwise very healthy 50 year old woman. I have tried various protocols to get my homocysteine levels down, and have been successful supplementing with very high doses of methylated folate, B12, TMG, etc. However, I am extremely sensitive to these methyl donors and become extremely agitated, angry, and anxious, so although the homocysteine drops to a 12 I am absolutely miserable. So I've stopped taking methylated Bs and the levels rise back up to the mid 40's. Is there any protocol you recommend to those of us with MTHFR SNPs who are struggling with hyperhomocysteinemia? Thanks so much for all you do. With gratitude, Lisa Anna: Hello Dr Cabral, I'm wondering if you can give me some advice regarding my daughter Florentine. She has a patch of dry/red skin (the dryness and the redness fluctuates) at the base of her neck. Also a small dry/pink patch on her arm. She has had these patches since she was about 2 months old and she is now 7 months. She is unaware of them. I saw a naturopath and have since eliminated dairy from my diet. This Friday will be a month without dairy and I don't think there has been any change. How long should I give it to be sure that dairy is/isn't causing the skin irritation?Kindest regards, Anna Janine: Hi Dr. Cabral, A few weeks ago I sent in a question for you about a recent cancer diagnosis. It is my second breast cancer diagnosis in eight years. I am extremely healthy and was really perplexed about why I was getting sick again. I thought maybe from having meat in my diet, and stress?.....Since then I had genetic testing done and I tested positive for the BRCA2 gene mutation. So I think my question has been answered! Liesl: Hello, Can you tell me all of the things that I can do to open my detox pathways (with no gallbladder and no exercise) that will not cause a detox/herx reaction? I’ve been stuck in this loop of being too sick to get well since 2003. Everything I’ve tried has made me too sick to continue. Thank you!

Herxheimer reactions are something that most people have experienced but they probably didn't know it had a name. In short, it's when the body is having sort of a cleansing crisis and certain symptoms get worse before they get better. Since each person's chemical makeup is different, there is really no limit to what form a Herxheimer reaction will take but some of the most common types of Herxheimer reactions can show up as pain, headaches, fever, chills, hives, or rashes anywhere on the body. Herxheimer reactions can be triggered by just about any food, ingredient, supplement or even certain types of medical care. These reactions happen mostly due to the fact that the body is already struggling (for some reason or another) to detoxify through its normal pathways. People who have autoimmune conditions will likely experience Herxheimer reactions frequently because their body is already some state of crisis and already struggling to excrete toxins normally. Also in this episode: • two of my goals to reach before 2019 • why regular doctors never mention Herxheimer reactions • why I want you to know that Herxheimer reactions are a thing • why having a liver and kidneys isn't always enough to sufficiently detoxify the body • type of Herxheimer reactions • Herxheimer reactions vs. allergic reactions • most common occurrences of Herxheimer reactions • how detoxification of the body is related • how it's related to junk food and headaches • why people with autoimmune conditions might experience Herxheimer reactions frequently Patreon Episode page Shop Facebook Instagram YouTube Order lab tests Please subscribe, leave a review and share this podcast with a friend!

Many SIBO treatments do a great job of killing your unwanted bacteria, but they don't necessarily set you up for long-term good gut health. In today's episode, we are going to go a little bit deeper into some of the herbs and natural supplements that can be used as part of your SIBO toolkit. My guest, Dr. Will Cole, is a leading functional-medicine expert and author of the new bestselling book, Ketotarian, in which he melds the powerful benefits of a ketogenic diet with a plant-based one. More importantly, he treats acute digestive issues like SIBO with the whole microbiome in mind. In today’s conversation, we dive deeper into his approach and cover so much ground, including: What effect non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s – like advil) can have on the microbiome the role of epigenetics in SIBO, meaning how our lifestyle choices can switch genes on and off how your microbiome is more than just your SIBO, and ways to support it overall histamine intolerance and how that effects your natural treatment plan Whether you should take probiotics while using herbs to kill your SIBO Biofilm and how to fight it Die-off symptoms (also known as Herxheimer response) and how to know if this is what you’re experiencing versus an intolerance of something in your treatment What supplements to take to prevent relapse How to use your diet as a way to prevent relapse Gut-brain connection: Stress management and how that influences SIBO And some other lesser known options like Helminth therapy For more info on each episode, plus gluten-free (low FODMAP) recipes, healthy living tips, and more, visit https://www.feedmephoebe.com.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about mold illness, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), and "Life After Mold". About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Lauren Tessier. Lauren Tessier, ND is a Naturopathic Physician licensed in the state of Vermont. She received her Bachelors in Premedical Sciences and Health Psychology from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston and later became a Naturopathic Physician at Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington. Her practice, Life After Mold, uses a patient-centered approach to help recover those that are suffering from mold-related illness. She combines naturopathic, functional, and integrative medicine to address the entire person. She is a Shoemaker Certified Physician specializing in the treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) which results from exposure to water-damaged buildings. In 2011, Hurricane Irene created an unimaginable flood in Waterbury, Vermont, and she was unprepared for what she would see next in her practice. Patients were ill with unexplained rashes, allergies that did not respond to treatment, fatigue, breathing difficulties, neurological complaints, headaches, nausea, and immune system dysfunction. When her normal approaches no longer worked for these patients, she dove deep into mold-related illness. Her practice is dedicated to helping those suffering with mold, biotoxin, and mycotoxin associated illness resulting from water-damaged buildings. As time passed, she came to the belief that the environment plays a role in all chronic illness. Environmental illness includes mold, heavy metals, glyphosate exposure, chronic infections such as Lyme disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Dr. Tessier is an Executive Board Member of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI) which aims to advance medical knowledge surrounding environmentally acquired illness. Key Takeaways: - What are some of the environmental factors that may predispose an environment to water-damage and the potential for mold illness? - What are some of the illness-creating substances that are found in a water-damaged building? - What are common symptoms of CIRS? - Are there basic screening tests that can be performed of an environment before investing in an IEP? - How important are the HLA haplotypes in CIRS? - Is there clinical value in urinary mycotoxin testing? - Can molds encountered in a water-damaged building lead to colonization within the body? - When considering binders, what is absorption vs. adsorbtion? - Why is bile flow important and how might it be supported? - What options might help reducing inflammation in those with CIRS? - Are there downsides of exogenous glutathione supplementation? - How important is eradicating MARCoNS in CIRS? - How might VIP and Synapsin be helpful in those with CIRS? - What triggers Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and how might it be addressed? - When someone feels significantly worse, what rescue items might help to move through a detox or Herxheimer reaction? - Is there a role for limbic system retraining in CIRS?

The Real Cause of Lymes Disease and Depression

Jim Goetz Dr. Mike Brandon Chantea Goetz The big announcement is that our BiohackHumans website now has an Insiders Only Section. Be the first to see world class workout programs, high quality recipes, videos, how Dr. Mike Brandon lost 30 lbs in 5 days step by step and m uch much more!!!! New Theories Behind The Real Cause of Lymes Disease and Possible Natural Treatments Jim Goetz Since the 1970's in the town of Lymes, Connecticut, individuals have been coming down with a mysterious illness diagnosed as many things. The symptoms are pretty much the same. They include: fatigue, muscle pain, weakness, twitching, spasms, restless leg syndrome, mental fog, joint pain, swelling, and tingling in the extremities. (These symptoms sounds seriously like every night after my three times per day workouts). Because of the grouping of symptoms, health officials believed they needed to find the cause of this new "disease". A few years later, an individual who had these symptoms stated they reported having a tick on them a few weeks prior to the symptoms occurring. Researchers found this specific type of tick to carry the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and "hallejuia" an answer was found (though it was based on mere observation). Lymes has traditionally been treated by using a very large dose full spectrum anti-biotic. Patients often get better at first giving doctors the impression that the drugs are working. This is called a Herxheimer reaction. That is symptoms reverse. Now with this dose of antibiotics, your body is also losing beneficial bacteria that your body needs to function and yes, even think. Unfortunately antibiotics at times casue viruses to strengthen. In this case, this is true. Recently there has been some speculation that Lymes disease is also caused by other bacteria such as Bartonella or parasites such as Babesia. None of these however or Borrelia actually seem to be responsible for the actual symptoms of Lymes disease. Someone may test positive for one of these bacteria or parasites and have Lymes disease but this again may only be another observational study and the two may have nothing to do with another. This is like someone observing an individual with a cold having eaten a pizza just the day prior and no other foods. Therefore colds must be caused by pizza. This simply is not the truth. The symptoms of Lymes disease are the same as those who have Epstein-Barr, HHV-6 and it's varous strains. Some also test positive for cytomegalo virus. These are all viruses!!! Exactly!!!!! Lymes disease may actually be a virus that most of us have that is actually triggered by events in life. All of these items in some way or another lower ones immune response. As a result, a dormant virus can take over. These possible causes include (but not limited to: -mold -mercury based dental mamlgam fillings -mercury in general -emotional events such as the loss of a loved one or traumatic event -bites or stings -virus enabling prescripton medications (see benzodiazepines) -overprescribed medications -recreational drug abuse -overly stressful chronic situations such as finances -lack of sleep -poor nutrition -chemicals in ones environment such as carpets or carpet cleaning products, paint, etc. -runoff -swimming (chlorine is highly toxic in pools as are red algae blooms in the ocean) Some natural treatments include but are not limited to: -thyme (kills viruses on contact). I often use this in a diffuser and breathe it in the room, especially in fall and winter. I have no proof it works but know I do not get sick often. -lemon balm (kills co-factors of viruses). It's also naturally soothing and used in many good bed time/ relaxation formuals. -zinc (lowers inflammation and may raise immune levels) If you put a zinc losenger in your mouth though and it tastes highly metallic, your zinc levels may already be normal and therefore risk toxicity. -licorice root (impairs viral movement and ability to reproduce) -L-lysine (same as licorice root). However, L-lysine is used during herpes outbreaks as it appears to be directly inverse to L-Arginine, a vasodialator. L- Arginine and foods containing this amino acid are to be avoided during times of outbreaks. -Lomatium root (removes pathogens from the body). -reishi mushrooms (increases lymphocytes, and neutrophils, which are white blood cells responsible for immune function). -silver hydrosol (kills viruses on contact) -astaxanthin (restores neurological function) This is found in krill supplements and Green Vibrance. Both area a staple in the diet of the madscientist himself. -nascent iodine (strengthens the encocrine system) Swing Away Depression and Anxiety Dr. Mike Brandon Jumping on a trampoline, swinging in the park, running in circles, and rolling down hills may sound like a day's summer schedule for a child, but what about as a way to help combat depression, anxiety, and memory deficits in us all. Our body's vestibular system is what helps us with our balance and equilibrium and allows us to do things like walking and standing upright, standing on one leg, walk across a tight rope etc. The majority of this system is small structures buried within our ears which works with our eyes and specific regions of our brain. It gets strengthened via body and head movements like rolling, jumping, spinning, and so forth. We rarely think about it unless there's an issue like becoming dizzy or losing balance, but clearly this system is important for us. Could you imagine trying to go through a day without being able to walk 10 feet without falling to the side? Science has found however that having a healthy balancing system may also help with stress, anxiety and depression. It appears that having vestibular dysfunction, like dizziness or vertigo, can cause increased anxiety and stress, and even the reverse with having excess stress or anxiety disorders could cause dizziness or vertigo. So clearly they are related, but why does that matter? There was a study that took college students and gave them “swing time” every day, meaning they literally went to a park, sat on a swing and swung back and forth for a while. This caused all participants to have a positive change on their emotional state with depression, stress, and anxiety. This led me to think about children and the importance of recess. Its been over the news the past few years when it was shown that increased play time increased academic performance. This could be a big part as to why. Children's brains are still developing, so having kids “just be kids” and run, roll, and jump, is quite important so they have a better chance at staying happy and coping with the stress that inevitably arises in life. Currently, kids don't play as much as they used to due to tv, video games, and similar activities, so their vestibular system which is linked to strong emotional control and satisfaction may not get fully developed. Add to that then how most of us as adults live rather sedentary lives and sit most of the day, so we aren't strengthening our equilibrium and balance systems either. The good news is, that it appears that even as adults we can help ourselves by “just being a kid”. So maybe I wouldn't advice grandpa to go hop on a merry-go-round or start doing flips on the trampoline, but gently rocking in a chair or standing on a wobble board for a while may help his occasional panic attacks or make him smile a bit more. It shouldn't be surprising then that most people enjoy things such as swinging and spinning. Everybody wants to stay young, and though we have yet to biohack a secret for that, there's clearly benefits by following a child's example in this case. So go make yourself a little dizzy, a little happy, and as always, BioHack on! References: Dalton, S. (2016, May 11). Youth Fitness: Exercise Helps Children Excel in School.
