JANUARY 25, 2024 FOODS TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the United States. Diet does play a crucial role in managing and preventing heart disease There are many foods you can incorporate into your dietary lifestyle
One food to start eating is Beet root It is excellent at lowering blood pressure due t its high nitrate content. Nitrates help to dilate blood vessels thus lowering your blood pressure You can consume beetroot in various ways- I low them raw in salads, or roasted as a side dish Some of my patients prefer to have beetroot juiced with other fruits I would just be careful not to put too many glycemic fruits in with the beet juice
I would encourage you to start eating spinach. It is rich in magnesium which also lowers blood pressure Low levels of magnesium re associated with high blood pressure So eat your spinch
Garlic from the Allium family is excellent at lowering blood pressure Garlic is added to every food dish in my household. Garlic is not only an anti microbial agents for viruses, bacteria etc but it supports the cardiovascular system
There are other foods that lower blood pressure as oats, bananas and dark chocolate

JANUARY 24, 2024 DETOXIFY WIT NUTRITION
As Hippocrates stated ‘ Food is medicine ‘ Food can also be used as a detoxification of metals. There are many foods and herbs that can be used. The one that most people Cilantro mobilizes mercury and other neurotoxins from the cell membranes but DOES NOT chelate Since this is the case the strategy is to have chlorella on board at the time of mobilization ( taking cilantro ) to more effectively chelate the metals out is Cilantro.
Vitamin C can be used as a chelator if given intravenously (IV) . However, vitamin C will inactivate the action of chlorella and cilantro therefore never do Vitamin C at the same time I prefer you do not use any Vitamin C on that day. You can use it
One herb that is an excellent chelator is Garlic. This is the Lily Family and Allium class- this includes garlic, onions and chives. Another great chelator are any vegetables from the Braccica family such as broccoli, watercress, cabbage and kale. These enhance excretion of metals
Two kitchen spices that chelate are rosemary and curry. Camilla sinensis known as Green tea is a chelator. The fruit I encourage to eat as a chelator is pomegranate. The one drawback is the amount of sugar in this fruit

JANUARY 23, 2024 META DETOXIFICATION
To detoxify metals from the body I use a variety of medications and supplements. I do use chelation therapy in the form of oral DMSA and IV EDTA. A chelator is a medicine that binds to the toxic metal and it is excreted from the body through urine. Chelate in Greek means t grab onto. The problem is that there are specific chelators for certain metals. For example EDTA is used for lead, whereas DMSA is used for mercury.
I do utilize supplements in order to detox. These are
Liposomal Gluthathioe 1000 mg daily or its precursor N acetyl cysteine 600 mg
Alpha Lipoic acid 600 mg
EPA/DHA 1 gel casule twice a day
Chlorella 1000 mg / day It is best to chew the chlorella as saliva will tag the chlorella naturally and deliver it to the most receptive areas
Spirulina - i use raw spirulina powder starting at 1 grams and increasing to 2-3 grams Sometimes depending on the situation or case I increase to 8 grams
Some of my patients use Quicksilver scientific to detoxify. I recommend taking the supplements separately The only supplements I recommend together are chlorella and spirulina

JANUARY 22, 2024 SOURCES OF METALS
Heavy metals cause illnesses What are sources of these metals? The most significant metal isLead mercury. The most significant type of pollution comes from dental amalgams. Fillings undergo both mechanical abrasion and electrochemical corrosion Mercury is released in the form of vapor and enters the body through breathing. When measuring fumes coming out of the mouth with many amalgams fillings, the value exceeds 480 times the accepted standard by security industry. The consumption of mercury contained fish is only 2 micrograms per day. High mercury alerts have been emitted for fish as in : sharks, swordfish, and tuna.
The other metals are aluminum, bismuth, cadmium, nickel and lead.
Lead is used for car batteries, plastic cups, fishing sinkers and old water pipes. ceramics. It is used in some hair dyes.
The major source of cadmium is cigarette smoke. Present in small products in some food products like dark chocolate. Cadmium that is present in the soil and easily absorbed by vegetables.
The sources of aluminum include tap water, kitchen utensils such as pots, food packaging, canned food, aluminum foil, hair dye and makeup Some cosmetic products include deodorants, toothpaste, vaccines and anti-acids Due to the high level of aluminum in everyday life we tend to see high aluminum in many patients. There are some studies of high aluminum in patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons’s Disease

JANUARY 17, 2024 HERBS FOR THE LUNGS
Many individuals this year have had respiratory ( lung ) viruses. It is far worse than previous years. I have a solution to respiratory viruses. Start using herbs
My first choice is the use of Propolis. I am fortunate to tincture my own from my bees ( Available at Botanical Bounty ) Propolis is good for all respiratory tract infections like sore throats, coughs, and even sinus infections Great for strep throat.
The next supplement I advocate for is NAC- N-acetyl system ( the precursor to gluthathione ) NAC helps open the airways. It acts similar to a steroid inhaler that asthma patients use. often use glutathione via a nebulizer to help these patients
Then I recommend a blend of different herbs. You could these as single herbal agets or even combine them.
These are
Lomatium - great fr pneumonia and COPD. I recommend regular use during this cold and flu season
Osha an excellent herb for the lungs
Mullein leaf and flowers- great expectorant properties
Elderberry tea /syrup
Chrysanthemum tea
Cleavers tea to drain the lymph systen
Goldenseal
Cat’s Claw
You see Mother nature has a variety of herbs to prevent , support and treat these respiratory viruses/bacteria—this way you do not drown in your mucous ( and get White Lung Syndrome )
