Natural Anti-septics & Anti-inflammatories: To combat any microorganism or parasite that could be contributing to the inflammation and to use natural products to reduce and shut off inflammation cycles.

Rife Machine: Using electromagnetic frequencies to target and kill specific pathogens, that may be causing the inflammation. The rife machine can also be used to directly target and reduce inflammation, help eliminate toxins from the body, support organs and tissues and promote healing.

Detoxification: Toxic accumulation places great stress on the Gastrointestinal system, and other organs like your liver. Toxins and pathogens also aggravate and inflame the lymphatic tissue found within your gut which sets off a systemic inflammatory response that works to lower your immune system and strip the body of resources and energy. Toxic accumulation can add up quickly from simple everyday exposures. These toxins and/or pathogens, can quickly overwhelm the liver and lymphatic system, causing toxins and foreign invaders to spill out into the blood, exasperating symptoms and giving these toxins access to other areas of the body like the nervous system, while affecting the function of vital organs. Working to “unclog” these eliminatory organs is step one. There are many herbs and foods that can promote lymphatic drainage, as well as infrared saunas, dry brushing and movement/ exercise as your lymphatic fluid relies on the movement of you skeletal muscles to keep it moving. Opening up the eliminatory and drainage pathways is the first step to all detoxification, because if these systems are clogged and you begin pulling toxins from the tissues it can create a further “back up”, spilling more toxins into your blood stream and creating more symptoms. Focus on making sure your bowels are moving, supporting lymphatic drainage, and supporting the liver, and then slowly begin detoxification to reduce inflammation.

Eliminating/ Reducing Inflammatory Or Toxic Foods & Environmental Exposures:

• Alcohol
• Coffee
• Antibiotics
• Eggs
• Meat
• Processed Sugars
• Whole grains
• Flour & refined foods
• Processed foods
• Eliminate pork (often contain pathogens and parasites)
• Fish (high in heavy metals and parasites)
• Toxins, solvents
• Birth control pills
• Heavy metals

Anti-inflammatory Foods

• Olive oil
• Avocados / avocado oil
• Spirulina
• Wild blueberries
• Other berries
• Leafy greens
• Flaxseeds
• Walnuts / walnut oil
• Chia seeds
• Brussel sprouts
• Dried parsley
• Kidney Beans
• Coconut / coconut oil

Anti-inflammatory Nutrients:

• Probiotics (70% of the immune system is located in the gut so restoring microbiome balance is important and helps combat microorganisms)
• Selenium and other antioxidants combats oxidation and damage to tissues, and strongly influences inflammation and immune responses.
• Vitamin A (aids in the regulation of the immune system, and modulates lymphocyte activation and proliferation etc.)
• Quercetin (abundant dietary flavonoid that has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, among anti-allergic, anti-viral and anti-histamine properties)
• Omega 3 fatty acids (important inflammation and immune system modulators)
• Fibre (keeps bowels moving)
• Glycine (regulates inflammation and improves enterocyte function in the intestinal tract)
• Zinc (promotes enzymatic processes and is important for the development of neutrophils, natural killer cells, macrophages… among other cells of the lymphatic and immune system)
