THE ULTIMATE CLEANSE
by Walter Last
Most
diseases are caused or aided by microbes and parasites. Due to antibiotics,
steroidal drugs and chemotherapy our natural intestinal bacteria have been
damaged and pathogenic microbes, especially fungi and mycoplasmas, are out of
control. Also microbes from childhood vaccinations may still be present, and
there tend to be infection foci in root-canal treated teeth and possibly in
scars from surgery. All of these greatly weaken our immune system and allow
pathogenic microbes to invade the blood and internal organs. Now we become
susceptible to frequent infections and immune disturbances such as autoimmune
diseases, allergies, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. It has now been shown
that pathogenic microbes are the underlying cause of basically all chronic
diseases.
A
common sequence of our health deterioration is as follows: antibiotics and other
drugs cause intestinal overgrowth with Candida and the conversion of its
harmless yeast form into its invasive fungal form. This, in addition to gluten,
invades the intestinal wall and causes Leaky Gut Syndrome, letting microbial
toxins and food proteins to enter the blood, cause allergies and weaken the
immune system. Now a wide variety of bacteria, viruses and parasites start
invading the body and affecting the weakest organs, those impacted by
nutritional deficiencies, by heritage or emotional issues. They may or may not
cause obvious infections but regardless, in most cases they form colonies
protected by biofilms.
Biofilms
are extremely difficult to penetrate or eliminate by the immune system or with
antimicrobial therapy. Here is a good presentation of bacterial biofilms.
Frequent locations of bacterial biofilms are the inner walls of blood vessels,
teeth and jawbone, hip joints or any infected bones, kidneys and bladder as
well as any surgical implants. In addition, Candida forms its own biofilm as a
covering of heavy, sticky mucus adhering to the intestinal wall, or in the
sinuses or inner ears. Biofilm colonies may become dormant when under sustained
attack, but gradually become active again when conditions improve.
Therefore
it is best to adopt a twofold approach for overcoming chronic conditions:
improve the environmental conditions that caused an organ system to become
susceptible to attack, and also use a long-term antimicrobial therapy and
strengthen the immune system to permanently dissolve the microbial colonies.
When the immune system does attack a microbial colony you may for a while
experience inflammation and pain as with an acute infection.
The
following program is designed for such long-term therapy. If, instead, you just
want to treat an acute or serious infection then use immediately high doses of
a variety of strong microbicides, and in addition alkalize the body and aim for
a high intake of vitamin C.
INTESTINAL SANITATION
The
first step of the ultimate cleanse is re-establishing a healthy intestinal
flora. For this we reduce the pathogenic microbes in the intestines with a
suitable microbicide before immediately afterwards introducing probiotics or
healthy lactobacteria. I prefer fresh, raw garlic which has powerful
antimicrobial and especially fungicidal powers. To minimize unpleasant
reactions, such as headaches, nausea and other gastro-intestinal discomfort it
is preferable (but not essential) initially to take the garlic together with a
strong laxative. This is called a flush. An effective flush is with a
tablespoon of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) or
magnesium chloride in a large glass of water. Drink some more water afterwards.
If
you are constipated or overweight you may even take 2 tablespoons when using it
for the first time to make sure that it quickly comes out at the other end. To
make it taste less bitter you may refrigerate the dissolved magnesium salts
overnight. In the morning you crush a large clove of garlic, mix and drink it
with a small amount of water, and follow this with the refrigerated drink and
some more water.
During
the following mornings you may use less magnesium salts or take a milder
laxative instead, such as psyllium. If you dislike garlic you may put the
crushed or chopped garlic into gelatine capsules. If you seem to be allergic to
garlic, then use another antimicrobial, such as 2 teaspoons of hydrogen
peroxide, olive leaf extract, pau d’arco extract or wormwood. Similar if you can
use garlic only during the weekend because of social restraints. Other
laxatives that may be used for a flush are Glauber Salz or sodium sulfate, castor
oil or senna. You may need to experiment with your chosen laxative to find the
right amount to take with garlic so that it is effective within a few hours.
Psyllium
is excellent and most recommend
for long-term use. If you are not overweight or constipated you may also start
the Ultimate Cleanse this way instead of using magnesium salts. Psyllium is
especially effective for removing endotoxins from the intestines and reducing
allergic and autoimmune reactions.
In
a large glass of water add a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate and a heaped
teaspoon of psyllium hulls, stir and drink immediately followed by more water.
Do this at least until you start with the systemic antimicrobial therapy but
preferably until you feel well again. If you suspect intestinal parasites later
also add MMS, wormwood, gum turpentine or essential oils to the psyllium.
Do this
Intestinal Sanitation for a minimum of three days but preferably for two weeks
before starting with the systemic therapy, and continue taking psyllium and
sodium bicarbonate until you feel well again.
The
Psyllium Cleanse is recommended to thoroughly clean out the intestines and with it
biofilms sticking to the bowel walls. For 5 days drink only fresh vegetable
juice, predominantly of celery and green leaves. Drink it spaced out and very
slowly. Add sufficient pure water to drink about 2 litres of diluted juice
daily. Instead of using juice you may puree a handful of fresh leaves at high
speed in a blender and drink without straining. If that is not possible you may
eat, spaced out, some green or tart apples or some raw vegetable salads.
Every 3 hours, or 5 times daily, take a teaspoon of
psyllium with a microbicide and sodium bicarbonate. Dissolve half a teaspoon of
sodium bicarbonate in a large glass of water, add the microbicide, and finally
a teaspoon of psyllium hulls. Stir and drink immediately, followed by some
more water.
As microbicide I prefer one that has the ability to
penetrate biofilms, such as chopped garlic, or several drops of Lugol's iodine
solution or non-acidified MMS (sodium chlorite). Molecular iodine has the
advantage of liquefying sticky mucus. You may also alternate remedies such as
garlic and Lugol's solution. Do not intentionally try to have bowel movements
during this time.
On the morning after the last juice day and at
bedtime the night before, take a tablespoon of magnesium salts in water, or
enough laxative to produce a strong bowel cleanout in the morning. If there is
discomfort during the cleanse from bloating or other intestinal problems, and
it becomes too uncomfortable, then just take a laxative or enema to flush it
all out and try again at a later time.
Probiotics
This
leads us to the next step: replacing the decimated pathogenic microbes with
desirable lactobacilli. This must be done in a massive dose 30-60 minutes after
each flush; otherwise the unwanted microbes may grow back to full strength
after the next meal. Commonly probiotics contain acidophilus and bifidobacteria
in addition to other lactobacteria.
These
bacterial cultures are available from health food shops as powders or capsules
that should be refrigerated. Preferably buy milk-free cultures, especially with
Type 1 diabetes and allergies. High-potency cultures contain 10 to 25 Billion
live bacteria per gram or per capsule.
However,
these dried cultures are dormant and relatively inactive as compared to
bacteria in fresh or live ferments. Therefore experiment with making your own
ferment. Initially you may use dry cultures as starter or buy fresh ferments
over the Internet (e.g. (www.grainfieldsaustralia.com,
use B.E.
Wholegrain Liquid). Try to obtain a wide
variety of different strains of lactobacteria that preferably have been grown
on vegetables and grains.
Also genuine fermented sauerkraut is good and you can easily find
recipes on the Internet. I do not recommend using commercial yogurt to sanitise
the gastro-intestinal tract because of the high content of mucus-causing
lactose and the limited strains of lactobacteria. Better for fermenting milk
products are Kefir grains which can ferment at room temperature, see http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html.
You
may ferment goats’ milk or even bee pollen. These ferments do not set as solid as
cow’s milk because of the lower protein content, but that does not matter as
the beneficial bacteria are in the liquid. You keep it warm for several hours,
and it is ready to use when it tastes somewhat acid and starts frothing, keep
refrigerated. Use a glassful of this liquid as a starter for the next batch. For individuals with Candida
it is preferable to ferment in a yogurt maker close to 40°C as yeast
fermentation increases at lower temperatures and can cause problems, this may
also happen with sauerkraut.
Commonly these ferments are rather acidic and may upset sensitive
individuals. In this case partly neutralise the acidity by adding some
bicarbonate until it is only slightly sour, or you may let the ferment stand
for a few hours with the addition of some dolomite powder and decant shortly
before use.
Take
a cupful of ferment after each flush, and possibly more before other meals.
Continue taking either cultures or ferment daily during the intestinal cleanse
and preferably during the systemic antimicrobial therapy. For more information
see www.health-science-spirit.com/HF2-5.html.
Prebiotics
Prebiotics
or the food that we provide for our intestinal flora may be even more important
than the probiotics that we can supply as supplements. These nutrients
determine which microbial species will thrive and which ones will not do well.
The easily digestible carbohydrates from sugar and grain products favour
Candida and other yeasts but can also lead to overgrowth of various bacteria in
the small intestines.
Commercially
available soluble but indigestible fiber, called FOS
or fructosoligosaccharides, helps to stimulate the growth of beneficial
intestinal bacteria. This is the fiber in fruit without
the sugar. FOS are mainly composed of several fructose molecules linked
together. Some commercial FOS in processed foods are made by a fungus, and yeast sensitive individuals may react to it.
The better type of FOS is produced by splitting the long fructose chains of
inulin derived from vegetable sources.
Generally inulin powder is the better supplement to
use for stimulating growth of bifidobacteria in the colon, and this is one of
the more effective ways of keeping Candida in the colon under control. Inulin is a fine white powder with a slightly sweet taste and
is more pleasant to eat and more beneficial than bran.
The
recommended intake of inulin is from 5 to10 grams or 1 to 2 teaspoons daily,
best divided. The amount should be increased gradually as it may cause loose
bowel motions and increased wind or flatulence. This cannot be entirely avoided
but experiment to keep it in acceptable limits.
Here
are some data for the inulin content in foods: Chicory roots 15-20%, Jerusalem
artichokes 14-19%, garlic 9-16%, dandelion leaves 12-15%, onions 2-6%, leeks
3-10%, artichoke leaves 3-10%, and bananas 0.3-0.7%
An
excellent health food to sanitise the intestinal tract is to blend a handful of
fresh green leaves at high speed in water, and drink this without straining.
You may also add spirulina and other supplements. The fiber
and chlorophyll of the leaves provides high-quality food for the resident
bifidobacteria in the colon.
Legumes
are high in a type of soluble fiber, raffinose, that
is only broken down in the large intestines. It is another excellent food for
bifidobacteria. Raffinose is a trisaccharide with the simple sugars galactose, fructose,
and glucose joined together. It is a soluble fibre and can be found in legumes,
members of the cabbage family, asparagus and other vegetables.
As
a side-effect legumes tend to produce wind or flatulence which can be reduced
by sprouting these legumes, or by soaking them overnight and replacing the
water before cooking. This also greatly improves the absorption of minerals by
reducing the amount of phytic acid in the seeds.
Lentils, peas and chickpeas usually cause less problems than beans.
SYSTEMIC ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY
Systemic antimicrobial therapy involves cleaning the
bloodstream, lymph fluid, and internal organs of pathogenic microbes. From the
wide range of available antimicrobials I have made a selection of remedies with
a good track record in natural medicine especially in regard to antifungal
properties. Unfortunately most of them are under attack by health authorities
in various countries, and you just need to go with those that you can obtain.
Useful remedies include olive leaf extract, pau d’arco extract, wormwood,
borax, MMS, kerosene, gum turpentine, hydrogen peroxide, coconut oil or monolaurin or undecylenic acid, colloidal silver, electronic blood purifier, propolis, extract
of Neem leaves, and the oils of tea tree, Neem tree, cinnamon, eucalyptus,
mustard, oregano, and thyme. Lavender
oil is especially effective with topical applications for fungus problems of
skin and nails. You may try using 1 to 2 drops of essential oil four
times daily ingested or kept in the mouth. Also try direct treatment of affected areas, such as douching, gargling,
enemas and skin applications.
Frequently, especially with Candidiasis, there is a
die-off or Herxheimer reaction during intestinal
sanitation or systemic therapy. You may feel weak and nauseous. In this case
temporarily interrupt or reduce the intake of antimicrobials, but make special
efforts to clean out your bowels. There is some anecdotal evidence that sipping
a liter of water with the addition of half a teaspoon
of salt may help eliminating headaches associated with a reaction.
It can be helpful to alternate between different
remedies in cycles from daily to weekly and longer. With this rotation it is
less likely that microbes will become treatment resistant. Also, if a strain of
microbes is resistant to one of the remedies it may be eliminated with one of
the others. Further, instead of using high doses of any one remedy you may try
moderate amounts of several different remedies taken at different times at the
same day, and you may also continue taking fresh raw garlic,
Depending on the severity of your symptoms you may
continue this systemic therapy at a high level for several months, or until you
feel that your microbe-related problems are under control. Then continue for a
much longer time, and in the case of a chronic disease if necessary for years
with a reduced maintenance dose. If symptoms flare up again, possibly caused by
stressful conditions, hospitalization or unsuitable diet, then just repeat the
high-dose systemic program.
High
doses of these remedies are not suitable during pregnancy, but neither is it
good if the mother has Candidiasis as this causes problems for the baby. In
this case consult a health professional. For an Internet source of some of the
recommended remedies see www.strideintohealth.com.
In the following herbal dosages are for average body
weight; overweight individuals may take more and underweight individuals or
children less. Even if systemic infestations with Candida and other microbes
are successfully eliminated there may still remain problems in isolated areas,
such as in skin, vagina or under toenails. These should be intensively treated
with local application of a wide range of remedies.
Iodine Therapy
Iodine
is an excellent fungicide and has a special affinity for mucous membranes which
are also an attractive hiding place for fungi. I prefer to start the systemic
therapy with Lugol's solution or similar iodine remedies. However, due to
pressure by health authorities it is now difficult to obtain this trusted
remedy, and you may instead start with one of the other recommended
antimicrobials. Those who can still obtain iodine may use the following
guidelines.
Full-strength
Lugol's solution, called a 5% iodine solution,
contains 10% of potassium iodide and 5% iodine. Each drop contains 6.5 mg of
iodine/iodide. If you have a 2% iodine solution then take 2.5 times more drops
than for the standard 5% solution. Iodoral tablets available in the US have 13
mg iodine/iodide per tablet. Iosol, an iodine/ammonium iodide remedy has 1.8 mg
of iodine/iodide per drop. Other names for Lugol’s solution are Aqueous Iodine Oral
Solution BP or Strong Iodine Solution USP. Iodine Topical Solution (USP)
contains 2% iodine and 2.4% potassium iodide. The following recommendations are for the standard 5% Lugol's solution,
if you use
another remedy then adjust the dose accordingly.
Presently
iodine solutions with more than 2.2% elemental iodine are banned in the US as
they may be used in the production of methamphetamine, although up to 30 ml of
Lugol's solution are exempt from this regulation. Standard Lugol's solution is
still available in
Before
starting take a drop of iodine in liquid other than just water to test for
allergies. With the standard program you gradually increase up to 10 drops of
Lugol's solution 3 times daily with food or drink. You may use more or less
iodine according to body weight. Continue for 3 weeks with the full dose, but
interrupt or reduce it during a reaction. After 3 weeks continue with 1 or 2
drops daily for much longer. Plenty of iodine helps to prevent and dissolve
cysts of any kind and helps tissue to regenerate. When on thyroid medication,
or with goitre or an overactive thyroid, it is usually beneficial to increase
gradually to 1 or 2 drops daily but initially do not go any higher. Also see Iodine:
Bring Back the Universal Nutrient Medicine.
DMSO
DMSO is not only an excellent microbicide in its own
right, it is also most effective in carrying other microbicides into
inaccessible places and penetrate biofilms in which microbes are hiding. It is
especially effective against mycoplasmas. Iodine dissolves easily in DMSO and
molecular iodine or Lugol's solution is the perfect addition, try several drops
of Lugol's in a teaspoon of DMSO and take in a drink several times daily or rub
onto the skin over infected areas. You may also try non-acidified MMS, hydrogen
peroxide and other remedies, but not
kerosene, gum turpentine or essential oils. For rubbing onto the skin over
infected areas dilute DMSO to about 50%. This is not only effective for quickly
stopping pain but also for eliminating microbes from skin, joints, sinuses,
inner ear, bones, infected roots of teeth, jawbones, cavitations, and stopping
fungus-induced hair loss.
The minimum purity of DMSO should be 99% and
preferably higher, medical/pharmaceutical grade is generally 99.9%. A suitable
combined oral and topical daily amount with chronic diseases may be 20 to 30 ml
in divided doses. Orally it is good to take in a drink together with specific
supplements to enhance their absorption. As with all supplements, It is also
good not to remain at the same dose for a long time but rather slowly cycle up
and down between a maximum and a minimum level. While DMSO is widely used in
most countries as a medical drug, in the USA it is only approved for the
treatment of interstitial cystitis. In Australia DMSO is a prescription poison
not to be used for treating humans but it can be sold and used for veterinary
purposes and as a solvent. For further information see www.health-science-spirit.com/msm.html.
Borax
Borax
and boric acid contain boron and are excellent fungicides with additional
wide-ranging antimicrobial properties, and also chelating fluoride and heavy
metals.
Dissolve
a lightly rounded teaspoonful (5-6 grams) of borax in 1 litre of good quality
water (no chlorine or fluoride). This is your concentrated solution.
Keep this bottle out of reach of small children.
One
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of concentrate is the standard dose with 25 to 30 mg of borax
and provides about 3 mg of boron. Start with one dose mixed with drink or food.
Gradually increase to the chosen maximum intake. The minimum effective
dose when used as fungicide is about 100mg of borax.
For
individuals with low to normal weight the recommended daily maximum amount is
500mg or 100 ml of the concentrated solution; drink spaced out during the day.
Heavier individuals may use a maximum of 1 gram or 200 ml of concentrated
solution. Take the maximum amounts for up to 1 month and then alternate with
another microbicide. However, continue taking a maintenance amount of 2 or 3
doses daily.
Borax
is rather alkaline and in higher concentrations has a soapy taste. You may
disguise this with lemon juice, vinegar or ascorbic acid. Also see http://www.health-science-spirit.com/borax.htm.
MMS – Sodium Chlorite
Sodium chlorite
(NaClO2) also known as Miracle Mineral Supplement or MMS, is very alkaline and stable
in solution but when acidified it forms the unstable chlorous acid and the gas
chlorine dioxide (ClO2) which are strong all-round antimicrobial and parasite
remedies. MMS is recommended for an initial clean-out, and is most effective in
high doses with acute and serious infections, but is not well suited for
long-term treatment of Candida and mycoplasmas, except for local applications
and when used in non-acidified form.
Start with 1 or 2
drops of MMS and gradually increase up to 15 drops daily. Mix the MMS with five
times the number of drops of lemon or lime juice or vinegar but preferably with
a more effective 10% solution of citric acid in water. You can make this
yourself by dissolving 1 part of citric acid crystals in 9 parts of water.
Three minutes after
adding the acids add half a glass of water, or possibly herb tea, or juice
without added vitamin C, e.g. apple or grape juice but not orange juice. Do not
take any antioxidant supplements close to MMS; generally keep them 3 or more
hours apart.
You may also mix
equal numbers of drops of MMS and 50% citric acid and dilute with water or
juice 20 seconds after mixing. This produces a much higher concentration of
chlorine dioxide with a very strong smell, and is especially effective with
acute infections. You make the 50% citric acid solution by dissolving a level
spoonful of citric acid crystals in a spoonful of water.
Acidified MMS acts
strongest on an empty stomach but that also easily causes nausea. Generally it
is better to have some food in the stomach and be able to take a higher dose.
If nausea occurs temporarily reduce the dose. Commonly nausea, vomiting and
diarrhoea may occur sooner or later and are beneficial for cleaning out but may
be avoided or minimized with the preceding intestinal sanitation and other
antimicrobial remedies.
With an acute and
serious infection you may immediately use a high dose, such as 10 or 15 drops.
You will vomit and be very uncomfortable for about a day but it may immediately
overcome the infection. However, for chronic conditions and general health
improvement it is best to increase by 1 drop each day until you feel some
nausea.
Then cut back by 2
drops and stay at this level for several days until increasing again by 1 drop
a day. In this way you gradually work your way higher, reducing and then
increasing again to keep nausea under control. You may reduce problems by
dividing the daily dose into a morning and a bedtime portion.
To quickly stop
nausea you may take 1 gram or more of vitamin C, but this also stops the
antimicrobial activity. To avoid or minimize oxidative damage I recommend
taking MMS only in the morning and evening or only once a day and use a
combination of antioxidants, including vitamin C, at lunchtime or several hours
away from the MMS. To minimize unpleasant side effects try to alkalize the body
before going on a course of MMS.
The main danger after
a high dose of MMS is from low blood pressure and hypoglycemic
shock due to fluid loss after vomiting and diarrhoea. If this should happen
take immediately a high dose of vitamin C to stop the reaction, lie down, and
drink lots of lightly salted and sweetened water. A general recommendation for
rehydrating after vomiting and diarrhoea is a fluid made with 6 level teaspoons of sugar and 1/2 level teaspoon of
salt dissolved in 1 liter of water, or alternatively use salted rice water. Also. Individuals
with G6PD deficiency, an enzyme deficiency with a tendency to haemolytic
anaemia, must avoid MMS and other oxidising substances.
If this MMS program causes
problems or is too difficult then you may try instead oral or rectal absorption
or non-acidified MMS as explained below.
The oral absorption method helps avoiding
nausea and is also effective with smaller doses. To 1 part of MMS add 5 parts of 10% citric acid and after 3 minutes
dilute with about 30 ml or a big mouthful of water, and finally add 5 to 6
parts of a 10% sodium bicarbonate solution to protect the teeth from acid
attack. This will give a pH of about 5, and one can keep it in the mouth for 5
to 20 minutes before swallowing or spitting it out. You make the 10% bicarb solution by dissolving one level spoonful of bicarb in 9 spoonfuls of water.
6 drops of MMS is a strong dose for oral absorption. For an acute
infection you may follow up with a second dose
As a general cleanse you may use this or a lower or higher dose for 2 to
3 weeks, best at bedtime.
The rectal absorption method is good with problems
in this area, such as rectal or prostate cancer, irritable bowel, and
infections, cysts and cancers of the female organs. First have a bowel movement
and an enema, and then try 2 activated drops in 250 ml of water. Hold for
several minutes, then expel, clean again with an enema and finally insert 4 to
8 activated drops in 250 ml water and hold for a longer time or up to 30
minutes. As with oral absorption you may also add some bicarbonate to make it
less acid. Protect the anus with some fat or Vaseline. There tends to be no
direct discomfort, but for several hours afterwards energy may be low, and
several cleanout bowel movements may follow. You may try this once a week with
gradually increasing doses.
Mouthwash: Dilute a teaspoon of MMS in 500 ml of water.
This is only slightly alkaline and tends to release small amounts of chlorine
dioxide in contact with acid-forming bacteria. It is also commercially promoted
as an effective method of removing bad breath or halitosis by oxidising smelly
sulphur compounds to non-odorous sulphates. Swish a mouthful around for a short
time, gargle, and spit out.
You may also combine
the stronger antimicrobial effect of oral absorption with the convenience of a
mouthwash: add a drop or two of lemon juice or citric acid to a teaspoonful of
mouthwash solution and immediately start swishing this in the mouth for a minute
or two before spitting it out. This has a relatively mild effect on the taste
buds. One teaspoonful of mouthwash contains about one drop of MMS.
Non-Acidified MMS: Medical-type patents describe the use
of stabilised sodium chlorite in oral, topical and intravenous applications for
treating autoimmune diseases and chronic infections, also hepatitis and
lymphoma. This also counteracts the neurotoxic effect
of acetaldehyde produced by Candida as it oxidizes this to acetic acid or
vinegar. This is also suitable for kidney and bladder infections. In these
cases the solution is not acidified! This is much less damaging to antioxidants
in the body than prolonged use of acidified MMS, and the incidence of nausea
will be greatly reduced.
As an average dose
try 5 to 10 drops (or half a ml) of MMS once a day after the evening meal or at
bedtime in a drink. However, non-acidified sodium chlorite. just like acidified
MMS, does react with glutathione in body cells. Therefore use it only for
limited periods, e.g. for one week every other week, and limit this program to
6 to 10 weeks (3 to 5 cycles) before a
longer break of one or more months. Alternatively use it 5 days a week for 3 to
5 weeks. During breaks use other antimicrobials instead. An occasional high dose of 20 drops can
destroy the bio-film protection of
Candida in the intestinal tract and cause large amounts of stringy slime to be
expelled through vomiting and diarrhoea.
Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDS) is now available over the Internet as a
concentrated solution of the gas in water. It is easier to take than acidified
MMS and does not seem to cause nausea. Because of it is strongly oxidizing I
recommend it mainly for short-term therapy of acute infections. For instruction
on how to make or use it see the Internet.
Olive leaf
Olive
leaf
can be used as tea or powder but more commonly as an extract. The
active ingredient is oleuropein. Preferably use up to 1000 mg of oleuropein
daily for acute infections or as peak level during the systemic program. Dried
olive leaf has about 30 mg of oleuropein/gram.
As
the tea is bitter you may use part of it as powder stirred in juice. Simmer 30
grams of dried leaves in 1 liter of water for 1 -2
hours, top up, strain and refrigerate, and drink 3-5 cups daily.
Preferably use
extracts in powder form and stir half a teaspoon in water or other non-protein
liquid two or three times daily and take before meals (oleuropein may be
inactivated by high amino acid levels). The normal retail form is as 500mg
capsules. In this case you may use up to 10 capsules daily. Commercial liquids
commonly contain only 4 mg of oleuropein per ml. In powder form olive leaf
extract commonly has 200mg mg/g.
Elenolic acid, one of
the hydrolysis products of oleuropein, destroys or inhibits the growth of many
kinds of roundworm, hookworm, tapeworm and flatworm parasites, in addition to
bacteria, viruses and fungi. Olive leaf extract is also used with cancer, HIV
and AIDS.
Wormwood
Wormwood is
effective against most microbes and parasites. Commonly used for Candida is Artemisia absinthium, but also Artemisia
annua or Sweet Annie can be used. Both herbs have different active ingredients,
and it may even be good to use a mixture of both. They should not be used during pregnancy.
To avoid the bitter
taste of A. absinthium stir a rounded teaspoon of powder in some cold water or
juice and drink immediately. Use a teaspoonful three times daily. However, the
bitter qualities of wormwood tea stimulate the digestive system - stomach,
pancreas, liver and gall bladder. It has been used as a folk remedy to cure
jaundice.
Therefore, in addition to taking it in cold
water, frequently drink some as tea during or after a meal. Make wormwood tea by adding 1 heaped teaspoon
of the herb (or 1 rounded teaspoon of the powder) to 1 cup of boiling water and
allow to steep for ten to fifteen minutes. You may sweeten the tea with xylitol or stevia, and add some
peppermint.
Generally,
it is easiest to take by getting it down quickly and, before breathing again,
drinking something pleasant afterwards. For children you may also use wormwood
powder in capsules (3 to 5 capsules 3 times daily), or use only Sweet Annie.
Kerosene
Kerosene
is surprisingly effective against Candida and mycoplasmas or cell-wall deficient
microbes while not harming our normal gut bacteria. It
may be easier to take than acidified MMS. Normal kerosene boils between 145 and 300°C, but the antimicrobial effect is
strongest between 100 to 200°C. The lighter fractions are mainly absorbed in the stomach and go into the
blood while those boiling above 200°C move mostly through the intestinal tract with a
laxative effect.
Apart from a suitable boiling range good kerosene
should also be low in aromatics, this is what 'low odour' means. To see if
products from other companies or in other countries are suitable go to the
website of the manufacturer and look up the Material Safety Data Sheet or MSDS.
It may not be sold as kerosene but rather as naphtha petroleum, hydrocarbon
solvent, white spirits or mineral turpentine. Look for petrochemical based
aliphatic hydrocarbons, and not half-synthetic isoparaffins or special solvent
mixtures available from art supplies as aromatics-free mineral turpentine.
A suitable variety of purified kerosene in Australia
is Diggers Low Odour Kerosene available from hardware stores rather than
supermarkets. Also, Diggers White Spirits and Diggers Mineral Turpentine are
available as low-odour products with the same chemical composition as Diggers
Low Odour Kerosene. The boiling range is from 149 to 194°C. With 190 to 230°C
the boiling range of odourless kerosene is too high for purifying the blood but
it could work for cleaning the large intestines.
Shell Chemicals has 2 suitable products
free of aromatics: ShellSol D40, with a boiling range of 145 - 210°C, and the
lower boiling SBP 100/140. BP
White Spirits, low in aromatics, boils from 142 to 200°C. These products may be
available in stores for building materials and paint supplies, larger hardware
stores, or from the Internet. A suitable
low-odour product in the US is Klean-Strip 1
Kerosene, see www.wmbarr.com/product.aspx?catid=35&prodid=71;
you can get it at Wal-Mart and various hardware stores. In Europe you can get
Shell-Sol D40, SBP (Siedegrenzbenzin) 100/140 and Gum
Turpentine (Balsam Terpentinoel) from http://kremer-pigmente.de/en (click on

low-aromatic product is not available then even normal kerosene may be used. It
is not more toxic but only has a stronger odour. The toxic benzene boils at
80°C and is not present in fractions boiling over 100°C.
Dosage and duration of a course are rather flexible.
One may start with a few drops of half a teaspoon, then continue with one
teaspoon for a week or two and gradually increase up to one tablespoon for a
week or two until ending again with one teaspoonful for a total duration of
about 6 weeks. The higher doses tend to cause diarrhoea and liver
detoxification. While this is basically beneficial, it can cause unpleasant
symptoms, in this case reduce or temporarily stop the intake. This may be
repeated as needed or one teaspoonful may be used periodically.
It is best taken before breakfast or at bedtime,
possibly with a small amount of molasses: lick some molasses to coat your tongue, then
take a spoonful of kerosene and wash it down with a small amount of drink and
food. For children it has been used as
several drops on sugar.
Turpentine:
Pure Gum
Turpentine was a trusted antimicrobial remedy for thousands of years. It has
been used as a teaspoon of turpentine mixed with a teaspoon of white sugar, but
start with only a few drops and increase gradually. Initially it may be used
daily for a week or two and then twice a week for several weeks longer or until
the problem is fixed. When I tried it out I was surprised how pleasant it
tasted, just like a pine-flavoured lolly. However, it can cause stronger
reactions than kerosene. I now believe that instead of using sugar, it is
better to take gum turpentine mixed with an equal amount or more of either
paraffin oil or olive oil. In higher amounts it can cause temporary balance
problems or brain effects, do not use more than 1 teaspoon as adult dose.

Alkalizing
Candida
tends to cause overacidity which in turn increases inflammation and pain. This
can be controlled with alkalizers such as potassium
citrate, sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate. Use half to one teaspoon
of bicarbonate in a glass of water on an empty stomach or 2-3 hours after meals
once or twice daily. Bicarbonate solution is also effective in direct contact
with fungi such as for rinsing the mouth, sinuses or vagina or as packs over
sites of fungal infection and tumours. Potassium citrate may be used in drinks
or directly mixed with food, use up to a level teaspoon 3 times daily. For
details see ALKALIZING with
Sodium Bicarbonate and Potassium Citrate.
