			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wrote yesterday<strong> </strong>about the issue of why we need to overcome <a title="Could you put that into your own words……" href="http://arcanum.ca/2012/01/12/could-you-put-that-into-your-own-words/" target="_blank">the limitations of false disease names</a> in Heilkunst diagnosis. Common conditions labels such as “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”, or “Social Anxiety Disorder” may get you into the right ballpark for a general understanding of a case, but actually hinders the possibility of a true diagnosis and cure of what lies at the root of that in each unique patient and case. This issue of false disease names has existed as long as the history of medicine, and wasn’t rectified until Dr. Hahnemann published his writings about Heilkunst medicine in the 19<sup>th</sup> century.<br />

<p>We recently watched a very illuminating documentary called <em>Orgasm, Inc.</em><strong> </strong>It illustrates how a number of pharmaceutical companies are in a race to be the first to bring to market an effective drug for “Female Sexual Dysfunction”. This movie illuminated very well the inherent problem in trying to treat such an abstract condition label, as if it were a singular medical entity, presumably always exactly the same for every woman, and always treatable by the same drug protocol. Furthermore, as with most other false disease labels, this has more to do with marketing, and making more and more women “eligible” for a drug which they may not need, and which often won’t help them.</p>
<p>Something I learned from this documentary, is how it is actually the pharmaceutical industry which proposes new condition labels to be officially approved, so that they can then develop new lines of profitable drugs designed to address these newly made up condition labels. Once the pharmaceutical industry successfully had “female sexual dysfunction” declared a new condition label, they set out to work on developing a new drug which could treat it.</p>
<p>It was upsetting to witness this process in action, and to realize that the whole pharmaceutical industry is built on such a game of artificial construction of condition labels, as a mechanism to develop ever more profitable lines of drugs which largely rob people of their health. Did you know that <em>iatrogenesis</em> (disease which is caused by drugs or other medical errors) is actually the number one cause of death in North America?</p>
<p>The cure for this massive disease of our medical system is to solve this problem of false disease names, by understanding Dr. Hahnemann’s teachings about how to apply curative remedies based on true diagnoses.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">But Lot&#8217;s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.<br />
Genesis 19:26</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">A few years ago, a very beautiful woman had first came in to see me for various complaints, including a sore neck, joints, migraines, chronic constipation and pain during intimacy.  A month later, she came back to see me for her routine follow-up and cited that I was a miracle worker as every one of her symptoms were completely gone.  She accredited it to the homeopathic remedies.  I smiled, knowing  that the quick results were more attributed to the increase in her daily water consumption.  She had replaced her 18 weekly coffees with about 2.5 litres of water!  It is amazing to me that most folks are actually chronically dehydrated and that technically, they don&#8217;t really qualify for medical remediation until we&#8217;ve assessed what percentage of their medical issues have to do with faulty regimen, especially dehydration.</p>
<p>It is still amazing to me how many folks still believe that other beverages like juice, milk, coffee and tea qualify as hydration.  Countless women have pleaded with me trying to justify herbal teas as a form of hydration.  Sadly, I’ve served countless children who hate the taste of pure water because it has always been sweetened and watered down with juice.  When a patient is unknowingly suffering dehydration I will explain that if a beverage contains too many TDS (total dissolved solids), then the body will read it and understand it as &#8220;food”, rather than water &#8211; no exceptions!</p>
<p>The body is constituted of around 70-80% of a jelly-like material that resembles the primordial ocean.  This mesenchymal layer, or the part of the embryonic mesoderm, consisting of loosely packed, unspecialized cells set in a gelatinous ground substance, from which connective tissue, bone, cartilage, and the circulatory and lymphatic systems develop.  We are mostly just congealed sea water, with a titch of minerals thrown in for colour, and we&#8217;d do well to bathe our innards to precisely the same degree that we bathe our outer chassis.</p>
<p>If you think about it, planetary systems have an orbit that they adhere to based on gravitational pull.  Our bodies, too, rely on dynamic, mass-free forces possessing a fluid-crystal structure which is sub-divided into different levels of density, frankly, to hold us together.  Physics states that the density of this fluid body is proportional to the density of any physical substance occupying the area of space that it is concerned with.  For example the watery domain will increase around large bodies such as stars and planets, acting as a refracting medium, affecting the speed of the propagation of light.  This medium is relied upon for conveying electromagnetic forces while adhering to the theory of relativity.  Rudolf Steiner stated, &#8220;As above, so below.&#8221;</p>
<p>You may be asking yourself, what the heck does this have to do with the 2-3 litres of water I’m supposed to chug down per day?  Well, I&#8217;m getting there.  Try to bear with me for a quantum second or two!  Quantum field theory states that all fundamental fields, such as the electromagnetic field, must be anchored at each and every point in space (including our bodies).  A field in physics may be envisioned as if you could see space filled with interconnected vibrating balls and springs (Reich&#8217;s orgone energy).  The strength of the field affects the displacement of a ball from its rest position.  If you like, read that last statement, again, and just let it congeal as an etheric impression on your watery body for a moment.  The theory requires for &#8220;vibrations&#8221; in, or more accurately changes in the strength of, such a field to propagate as per the appropriate wave equation for the particular field in question.  The second quantization of your quantum field requires that each of the ball-spring combinations be allotted a quantized (a measurable pole of strength) depending on its capacity to act as a harmonic oscillator, pulsation with excitation form the field corresponding to its elementary particles in space.  Crazy stuff huh?  That’s what I thought too!</p>
<p>Our bodies can only be attuned to energetic excitations from the universe, then, to the degree that it is able to shift, amble, contract, displace  and expand its harmonic oscillator &#8230; its watery body!  Even the vacuum theory cites a vastly complex watery structure and all calculations of the quantum field theory must be adjusted to the degree that certain bodies in the field are able to oscillate at stronger frequencies than others.  When you &#8220;distill&#8221; this all down, you will clearly see why my patient was able to resolve her ills simply by drinking more water.  She created motility where stasis was formerly beginning the stiffening, sclerotic processes just by propagating her “wave equation”.  Can you imagine how much fun I am to invite to your cocktail party?</p>
<p>Disease is a function of being cut off from &#8220;the big field&#8221; of communication, otherwise known as the domain of well … God.  The intellect, unhooked from its watery etheric impressions, has mostly mired us in matter, or salt!  The Genotype Silicea (the most intellectual of all of the Homeopathic Constitutions) will often display a strong preponderance towards the phenotypical state of grief or feelings of perpetual disappointments in love and romance otherwise known as Natrum Muriaticum.  These folks generally live in the past, just as Lot&#8217;s wife did feeling alienated and cut off from themselves and the Initiates of the higher domains as per Rudolf Steiner.  It is no accident, that the homeopathic remedy for grief, or living out of the past is Natrum Muriaticum, the Latin term for salt.  Protracted grief, over time, may start out producing emotional armoring, hardening of the attitudes, stiffness in the joints, constipation (holding on to old &#8230; um &#8230; shit) tumors, fibroids, cancerous growths and if the sclerotic effects are left untreated the final stage is rigamortis.  If you slice open a tumor, you will find it largely comprises a big ball of acidic sodium chloride in addition to other toxins.  This, really, is a hardened representation of the patient&#8217;s hardened and rigidified past.  The disease of Cancer was Lot&#8217;s wife&#8217;s lot in life!  Now, try saying that 10 times fast!</p>
<p>The astounding properties of 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecule forms the only substance in nature to be labile and flexible enough to be able to respond to varying temperatures.  Miraculously water will harden to ice, flow like a river, or vaporize like your breath on a Wintery day in January north of the 49th parallel.  Folks with the Cancer state of mind, generally feel chilled regularly with extremities like ice, while folks who are more healthy and orgastically potent create a renewable source of flowing warmth and heat.  You will notice it in their bright eyes, smooth, soft skin, and their open smiling face.  While pure pH balanced water is not a good conductor of electricity, the TV show &#8220;Myth Busters&#8221;  threw radios, hair dryers and electric heaters into bathtubs to confirm, or myth-bust, whether these things will really kill you or not. The electric heater released so much energy that it turned the dummy to charcoal and exploded the bathtub into a hundred pieces! It was hilarious.  Of course, it would be tragic if it were a person; but when it&#8217;s a dummy, it&#8217;s ROTFL funny, as my kids would say.  It is of interest to note that only contaminated city water will produce these results, picking up every current introduced to it!</p>
<p>If your mesenchymal layer is mostly salty, acidic and littered with contaminates, leaching potassium and creating a super-saturated domain, just imagine how you may be limiting your capacity to be quantized and vibrating to receiving quantifiable messages from The Field.  If most folks are actually dehydrated and potentially rigidifying from their own toxicity, what does this mean for their capacity to pick up resonant &#8220;vibrations?&#8221;  Wilhelm Reich, a Psychotherapist was originally Freud&#8217;s most favored student, until he recognized that the body&#8217;s capacity for orgonotic vibrations introduced through a device called an orgone accumulator was destroying cancer cells and producing more orgastically potent individuals.  A simple harmonic oscillator, quantization, produces excitations of the field corresponding to the elementary function of the orgasm.  What a concept.  Now you know the deeper reason why my patient began to enjoy pleasurable sex with her husband again.  I recall her exclamation that during that first month, after introducing proper water regimen, that her libido returned with full thrusters and that she hadn&#8217;t had that much delicious sex in years!  Giddy up!</p>
<p>In the teachings of Theosophy, Devas (powerful Devine powers) are regarded as living either in the atmospheres of the planets of the solar system (Planetary Angels) or inside the Sun (Solar Angels) (presumably other planetary systems and stars have their own angels) and they help to guide the operation of the processes of nature such as the process of evolution and the growth of plants (etherically, watery imbued organisms); their appearance is reputedly like colored flames about the size of a human being. It is believed by Theosophists that Devas can be observed when the third eye is activated. Some (but not most) Devas originally incarnated as human beings.  It is believed by Theosophists that nature spirits, elementals (gnomes, ondines, sylphs, and salamanders), and fairies can be also be observed when the third eye is activated.  While this capacity is mostly a function of an older consciousness, it is maintained by Theosophists that these less evolutionarily developed beings have never been previously incarnated as human beings; they are regarded as on a separate line of spiritual evolution called the “Deva evolution”; eventually, as their souls advance as they reincarnate, it is believed they will incarnate as Devas.  All this to say, that these beings possess etheric bodies (but no physical bodies) that are composed of etheric matter, a type of matter finer and more pure that is composed of smaller watery particles than ordinary physical plane matter.  So it all goes to say that if we are suffering an internal desert, we may be bereft from experiencing the salvation of a healthy mind, body and spirit.  Our oasis in the physical enables communion with our etheric body where we render impressions on this watery domain, suck up the impressions into consciousness and render them anew through inspiration, imagination, and illumination.  This process is only the function of human consciousness and if we are too dry and dehydrated, we remain mostly mired in matter imprisoned in our own salt.  Sadly we’re doomed to looking back with Lot’s wife.  Did the poor girl even have a name?</p>
<p>In Dr. F. Batmanghelidj&#8217;s profoundly accurate book, &#8220;Your Body&#8217;s Many Cries For Water,&#8221; he states, &#8220;When the human body developed from species that were given life in water, the same dependence on the life-giving properties of water was inherited. The role of water in the body of living species &#8211; mankind included &#8211; has not changed since the first creation of life from salt water and its subsequent adaption to fresh water.&#8221;  The human body has a major problem with its normal water regulation, caused by a gradual loss of thirst sensation. If you do become thirsty, it is too late, you&#8217;ve already become dehydrated.  Humans seem to lose their thirst sensation and the critical perception of needing water. Not recognising their need for water, they gradually become increasingly and chronically dehydrated with the progress of age. Batmanghelidj went on to advise Physicians that recognizing thirst signals of the body will undoubtedly produce complicated problems in the present way of treatment of these conditions. It is all too easy to assume these signals are complications of a serious disease process and begin to treat signal-producing dehydration with complicated procedures. Although water by itself will alleviate the condition, medications or invasive diagnostic procedures may be forced on the person. It is the responsibility of both patients and their doctors to be aware of the damage that chronic dehydration can cause in the human body. Dr. Batmanghelidj was very clear when he said, &#8220;These chronic pains include dyspeptic pain, rheumatoid arthritis pain, anginal pain (heart pain on walking, or even at rest), migraine and hangover headaches, colitis pain and its associated constipation.  The &#8220;view shift&#8221; dictates that all these pains should be treated with a regular adjustment to daily water intake. No less than two and a half quarts (two and one half litres) in 24 hours should be taken for a few days prior to the routine and regular use of analgesics or other pain-relieving medications.&#8221;</p>
<p>In closing, maybe think about the principles of quantum physics illustrated above and how they relate to cosmic wisdom that holds the planets in the cosmos (above) in conjunction with your body (below) in good physical and  spiritual equilibrium.   When we drink water, depending on the volume of water that enters the stomach, a hormone/neurotransmitter called &#8220;motilin&#8221; is secreted. The more water we drink, the more motilin is produced by the intestinal tract and can be measured in blood circulation (immune function or ontic, sense of the self). The effect of motilin on the intestinal tract, as its name implies, is to produce rhythmic contractions (Reich&#8217;s orgonotic pulsations) of the intestines &#8211; peristalsis &#8211; from its upper parts to its lower end. Part of this action would involve the timely opening and closing of the valves (labile flexibility also indicative of a labile state of mind) that are in the way of flow (watery formation) of the intestinal content (and the function of the orgasm). Thus, when there is enough water in the body for all the digestive processes that depend on the availability of water, the pancreas (the organ that metabolizes the sweetness in life) will produce its watery bicarbonate solution to prepare the upper part of the intestinal tract to receive the acidic content of the stomach. Under such ideal circumstances, the pyloric valve is also allowed to open (open on emotional level, think of acid reflux or indigestion) for the evacuation of the content of the stomach. Motilin has a major &#8220;transmission&#8221; role in co-ordinating this action. Motilin is a satiety hormone secreted when water extends the stomach wall.  Ah, relaxation.  All is well that ends well!  When operating in concert, we are able to transmit, receive and radiate information, beyond the veil, anchored to the measurable quantum divide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite numerous accounts of clinical success, homeopathy remains at the periphery of Western medicine. The expressed reason for its marginalization is that it violates accepted principles within the current biochemical paradigm. Through the process of potentization &#8211; - serial dilutions of a substance interspersed with vigorous shaking &#8211; - homeopathic remedies are often altered beyond the point of there being a single molecule of the original substance left. Subsequently, the claim that remedies (with potencies higher than a 12c or 12x) can have anything more than a placebo effect violates Avagardo’s number, which stipulates that the dilution at which no molecule of the original substance persists is 10 <sup>-24</sup>.<sup> </sup>The prevalent result: the efficacy of homeopathy is either discounted <em>a priori</em> as impossible or readily accepted in blind faith, reinforcing the persistent schism between materialism and mysticism.</p>
<p>Both reactions fall short of the ideal Hahnemann upheld when he developed homeopathy as the foundation of rational medicine. He was critical of close-minded dogmatism as much as he abhorred “blind empiricism.” Originally trained as a chemist, Hahnemann recognized that his use of “dynamized” medicine carried the health sciences beyond the explanatory force of chemistry. Rather than discount his findings or discredit the laws of chemistry, however, he focused his criticism on the over-extension of chemistry, which he found to have “taken upon itself to disclose a source at which the general therapeutic properties of drugs are to be ascertained.”<a href="#_edn1">[i]</a> Delimiting the explanatory force of chemistry, he stressed that it may help find the medicinal powers of substances, but it cannot reveal anything about its functions in the human body, which is of a living nature.<a href="#_edn2">[ii]</a> He recognized that, as a method originally developed to study inorganic material, chemistry was necessarily limited in its capacity to illuminate living processes.</p>
<p>Recently, a new field has developed in the life sciences, which reinforces Hahnemann’s delineation of chemistry, called biosemiotics. One of its central tenets is that living entities do not interact like mechanical bodies, but rather as messages. That is, living systems always exhibit certain organizational characteristics, which enable them to react to differences in their surroundings, and thus to “create” and exchange information. Without this basic difference between life and non-life, evolution as we understand it, would not be possible. In light of this observation, biosemioticians employ methods that follow the model of semiotics &#8211; - the study of signs, symbols, and their interpretation- &#8211; rather than applying the chemistry and physics of lifeless matter to processes created by life.</p>
<p>As the science of signs in living systems, biosemiotics invites the medical community to reconsider the physicalist terms in which biomedical researchers have traditionally explained the efficacy of medicine. If we endeavor to not only observe (with statistical precision) but to also understand the ways in which medicine informs the operation of the living organisms with which it interacts, then our explanations must extend beyond the physical laws operative in medicine to the information they introduce to living organisms. Within the biosemiotic framework we can legitimately question whether potentized medicines alter the health of organisms by locally controlling the physical laws according to which a diseased body is operating, a consideration that brings us beyond the limitations of physical discourse and into the domain of language.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone" title="Dr. Gersons Book, The Second Brain" src="http://www.thrivingandhome.com/0060182520.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="324" /></p>
<p>Rudolf Steiner was right on the mark when he said, &#8220;as above, so below.&#8221; We know that our colons share the same &#8220;atmosphere&#8221; as our brains.  Dr. Gershon recognized that Serotonin, the chemical that helps to renew us primarily through inducing healthy sleep, is actually propelled out of the colon.  Dr. Gershon wrote a book called <em><a title="&quot;The Second Brain&quot; By Michael D. Gershon, M.D." href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0060182520/?tag=arcawholclin-20" target="_blank">The Second Brain</a></em> which does a superb job explaining why the gut muddies the brain and nervous system if our digestion is distorted by disease and related conditions.</p>
<p>If you consider that 8-9 litres of water bathes the large intestine <em>daily</em>, extracting the last of the minerals and salts from our fecal matter before it exits the rectum, we start to clue in to how the toxins are also subject to this permeable wall and end up in our mesenchymal layer (we are 80% sea water).  With this in &#8220;mind,&#8221; we start to clue in to the fact that  the brain sits in this same fluid.  Only 6-7 tablespoons of water exit our bodies at one time with stool, so if we starve our system of the amount of pure water we need to consume every day, we are really creating a primordial mucky soup around our brain and organs from our own &#8220;undigested&#8221; shit!</p>
<p>When folks introduce probiotics, practice proper elimination techniques, eliminate processed grains and sugars from their diets, eradicate the diseases, including the heavy metals &#8211; voila! &#8211; they think better, are less nervous, and their focus becomes stellar.  Autistic children generally crave sugars to feed the yeasts and foci infections found liberally in the gut that coat the heavy metals (the yeast actually function to prevent heavy metal poisoning).  That is why it is absolutely imperative that chelation be done on the basis of principle and knowledge, which Heilkunstlers are wholly trained in, as you don&#8217;t want to trip the system to release the toxicity in the gut too fast, or you end up with a die-off nightmare.  Through principled medicine, the sugar cravings just slow, and the healthy relationship between the two brains is restored.</p>

<p>After the Christmas Holidays folks often come to us to ask us what is the most efficient way to go about a cleanse or detoxification.  Well, the answer is multi-faceted and a lot depends on what your present condition and goals are.  If you want to drop a few pounds, you can probably stop reading now and go back to what you were doing formerly before you opened this article.  The reason being is that you generally find whatever you lost, and so purification isn&#8217;t about losing anything.  It is about gaining something &#8230; the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">letting go</span> part will happen naturally.</p>
<p>Long before the germ theory became popular, ritual purification has been perpetuated culturally and religiously for as long as we&#8217;ve been around.  Orthodox Jewish women will go to the Mikveh after the last show of their menses on a monthly basis to cleanse any last trace of &#8220;impure&#8221; blood from their being before once again engaging in intimacy with their spouses.  Catholic folk engage in a mini-cleanse upon entering the sanctuary of the church by dipping their fingers into holy water and making the sign of the cross on their bodies.  Christians will also go through &#8220;Lent&#8221; which also means cleansing the body of certain foods that are not wholly serving their spiritual well-being.  Islamic individuals will use &#8220;wet&#8221; or &#8220;dry&#8221; cleanses with water, sand or earth after exposure to semen, menstral blood or vomit.  Typically, though, ritual purification was in preparation for a particular spiritual event.</p>
<p>In modern day culture, we&#8217;re not so typically guided by spiritual leaders who tell us when to cleanse and for what reason we would want to undergo this process.  We now have to develop this for ourselves.  Obtaining autonomy and sovereignty is the name of the game and the only way to truly hook into why we want to purify our body, mind and soul is out of principle.  If someone is suffering a lot of kidney discomfort and frequent urination, is it appropriate to do a kidney cleanse?  If someone has a gall bladder full of stones, what would be the result of a gall bladder / liver cleanse?  What happens if someone does a cleanse of these organs and they&#8217;re suffering constipation?  Generally the body won&#8217;t let go of anything until it is wholly convinced that there is something pleasurable coming in to replace it and it is best to sort out those targeted complaints first before stressing the body any further.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s say your goal is to simply feel lighter in your body and that you&#8217;ve been noticing some congestion around your liver.  Let&#8217;s say you have no other chief complaints.  If you did, it would be recommended that you seek the professional advice of your own Heilkunstler Physician to obtain the necessary remediation to support your regimenal efforts around detox and organ support.  Let&#8217;s say it is post Christmas, Passover, or EID and you had engaged in a few lovely little feasts with appetizers, wine and sweets for dessert over a number of days.</p>
<p>The first thing to ask is, &#8220;are the bowels moving?&#8221;  This is critical to ask because, if they are not, anything you are trying to cleanse from the kidney and liver systems are going to be dumped into the blood stream, it will swim around a bit and then reinfect those organs again, because there is nowhere for them to go.  If a person isn&#8217;t experiencing 1-3 fully formed snake-like bowel movements daily, then there is some work to be done on that front.  For our patients we use an awesome herbal based product called &#8220;Experience&#8221; that we order wholesale from our distributor, just like the health food stores do.  We can get it for you if you need.  Some folks will also use Triphala&#8221;, or &#8220;Psyllium husks.&#8221;  These products should be employed minimally and short-term until the body takes over it&#8217;s proper functionning.  In some cases, if things have been awry for some time, we&#8217;ve needed to ramp up the bowel cleanse to include a series of colonics as the 5-7 lbs. of undigested matter in the gut often needs to be addressed before the body starts being able to receive nutrition optimally during the cleanse.</p>
<p>Next, the kidneys are more available to undergo their regimenal purification.  We find that a <a title="The Master's Cleanse Book at Amazon.com" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1569756139/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&amp;m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;v=glance">Master&#8217;s Cleanse</a> is highly beneficial for this for 2-3 days.  First, lie on your tummy on a bed or floor and ask your spouse, relative or close friend to check for heat in either of your kidneys by placing their hand about half an inch above your skin just below the last rib of your rib cage.  You will know if there is congestion in the &#8220;hotter&#8221; kidney.  Also this kidney is generally slightly raised and  more tender if gently palpated.</p>
<p>Start your Master&#8217;s Cleanse in the morning. Upon waking, preferably after a bowel movement, mix the following ingredients in a glass and drink down:</p>
<ul>
<li>2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice</li>
<li>2 Tablespoons Rich Maple Syrup</li>
<li>1/10 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Powder – or to taste (as much as you can stand)</li>
<li>8 ounces (250 milliliters of Pure Water)</li>
</ul>
<p>Drink 2-3 litres of pure water all day and supplement with herbal teas as needed in the colder months.  In the evening, about 90 minutes before bed, it is recommended that you do a <a title="Salt Water Flush Master's Cleanse" href="http://themastercleanse.org/salt-water-flush/">Salt Water Flush</a>, using sea or himilayan salts. which will cause you to have the most amazing purifying bowel movements.  If this isn&#8217;t the result, you may need a colonic to get things properly flowing before continuing.</p>
<p>After this protocol, check to see that the kidneys are cooler by repeating the test above.  This will enable you to discern your success with the Master&#8217;s Cleanse protocol on the basis of observation and principle.  If the kidney(s) is/are still hot, or it has switched sides, consider seeing your Heilkunst Practitioner for further support with remediation before continuing.  If all is well, you can continue onto the Liver and Gall Bladder protocol for this cleanse.</p>
<p>At this juncture, you are looking for mostly cooked broths of vegetables with a concentration of green vegetables.  Bitter green vegetables are stellar for cleansing the liver and gall system.  You can make simple, beautiful soups starting with a base of organic coconut oil, onion and garlic.  Add beef, turkey or lamb broth if you are an O or B blood type.  Add organic brocolli, spinach, kale, collards, bok choi, zucchini, or anthing else on sale at your local organic market.  Supplement with Milk Thistle and Chlorophyll and you&#8217;ll support the liver and drag out any heavy metals at the same time.  You can stay on this part of the cleanse for all three meals as long as you feel comfortable.  Any liver discomfort should alleviate within a couple of days.  Don&#8217;t be surprised if you pass a couple of gall stones in the process.</p>
<p>Over the next few days, you can begin to re-introduce stir fried greens, organic ancient grains, and then more raw foods as you please.  The whole idea is to consume pre-digested foods first.  We are seeking to give the body a break at the front end, so it is more encouraged to eliminte the impurities at the &#8220;back end.&#8221;  We know that there is lots in the news about Raw Food Diets and these protocols certainly have their medicinal application and we do recommend lots of local raw foods during summertime cleanses, however, based on Rudolf Steiner&#8217;s understanding he suggests, &#8221; Suppose you [medic] are attempting curative treatment with siliceous substances; then put your patient for a while on a raw food diet [physic] and you will see how materially the effect of the silicon is increased because you are contributing further forces to its peripheral operation; you support its formative activity, its tendency to harmonize deformations.&#8221;  I will try to translate into English as he goes on to say that over time the body will start to break down from the outside if the raw foods are taken daily, long term, due to the overly spherical Silicon forces bearing down on the human being.  Over time, not enough radial forces will be generated internally through heat or the &#8220;building up&#8221; of the organism.  The sclerotic, breaking down, forces from the outside will be engaged with over time and the body will start to look more skeletal as the soft tissues start to break down.  The body eventually stops supporting it&#8217;s own skeleton and consciousness all together, and the soft tissues wither and the person unfortunately will die. They will literally perish from overwork as our physiology is not made to handle all that roughage long term.</p>
<p>On an encouraging note, during a proper cleanse, it feels delicious to use a natural brush for your skin before bathing.  Employing a far-infared sauna to encourage your skin, the largest organ of detoxification, to breath and pull toxicity out onto the surface to be scrubbed with your towel is amazing.  This will ease the primary functionning of the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system to do all the work for you as your body will be working hard to dump the toxicity it has held in abbeyance until now.  Salt water hot tubs and cold water plunges at your local Scandanavian Spa can be outstanding to get your lymphatic system pulsating those impurities out of your mesenchymal layer.  That is the sea water jelly layer you feel in between your skin and organs and lots of impurities can be stuck there.  If you don&#8217;t have such a luxury close by,  run a very warm to hot bath with epsom salts and then after 10-15 minutes stand up to a cold shower.  We&#8217;ve also found that Bowen treatments from an acredited Bowtech Practitioner has been really helpful to folks undergoing cleanses.  Call our office to speak with Carol-Ann, our office administrator, as she is training in this modality and will be able to advise you further.</p>
<p>A great book to read is <a title="Amazon.com Nourishing Wisdom" href="http://www.amazon.ca/Nourishing-Wisdom-Mind-Body-Nutrition-Well-Being/dp/0517881292"><em>Nourishing Wisdom</em>, <em>A New Understanding of Eating</em></a>, by Marc David.  He suggests, &#8220;you eat what you are!&#8221;  He cites a story about a woman who gets a job at a vegetarian restaurant.  In the short term, her health improved dramatically, however, over time things started to change for the worse.  &#8220;Strangely enough, once her health improved and reached its peak, she slowly dropped back to her previous state even though her diet was unchanged and the weather was still warm.  When she told me her story I was struck by one detail:  She had not prepared a meal for herself in close to a year.  In fact, her entire life-style for that time showed a strong deficiency in self-nourishing pursuits.  She had little social life, took no time off from the restaurant, and had no creative outlets.&#8221;  The author suggests that the client cook just one nourishing meal a day for herself and her results improved.  The moral of the story is that eating and cleansing is a very emotional business and we are here to help &#8230; chances are we&#8217;ve had an experience or two in this area.</p>
<p>Another resource that we&#8217;ve found very helpful comes from a patient and very close colleague of ours who let go of 40 lbs. shortly after starting Heilkunst treatment and no, she has not found it again.  Kylie Delfino is very outspoken about how she was helped to not only find her essential self through Heilkunst Medicine, in addition, en route she decided to thoroughly research Blood, Glandular and Ayervedic typologies to developing her own cleansing program.  Kylie left her thriving marketing consulting firm to start her yoga and cleansing practice.  The latter part of her business is called, <a title="The Nourished Self" href="http://thenourishedself.ca/">The Nourished Self</a>.  Her program is stellar.  We know because we followed her protocol and loved every minute of it.  Take a look at her site for if you are looking for someone to take you shopping to the local health food store, teach you how to make beet soup or guide you through a cleanse, she is brilliant and enthusiastic to boot!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From Dr. William Douglass&#8217;s newsletter:</p>
<p><strong><span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">First amendment</span> a last priority for some docs</strong></p>
<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever seen an old re-run of <em>Dr. Marcus Welby, M.D.</em>, you probably think you&#8217;re watching a depiction of medical care not just from a different time, but a different planet. The homey, personal attentions of Dr. Welby bear absolutely zero resemblance to today&#8217;s vast and faceless medical bureaucracy that shuttles patients through the system with all the TLC of a cattle drive.</p>
<p>There was a time when doctors like myself were saddened by the passing of this bygone era. But it appears that the current crop of docs doesn&#8217;t share my sentimentality. Case in point… some doctors are now asking patients to sign an agreement that they won&#8217;t post negative comments about their experiences online.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right: it&#8217;s a gag order to keep patients from letting other patients know that a doctor&#8217;s got a crummy <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc;"><span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc;">bedside manner</span></span>.</p>
<p><span><span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc;">Neurosurgeon</span></span> <span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">Dr. Jeffrey Segal</span> founded a company called Medical Justice to help doctors track and prevent online critiques from the patients. So far, about 2,000 doctors have signed on with Segal&#8217;s company.</p>
<p>If patients sign the agreement, they&#8217;re promising to refrain from posting any online comments referring to a given doctor&#8217;s &#8220;expertise and/or treatment.&#8221; Medical Justice then monitors the web and removes any online comments that violate the agreement.</p>
<p>If patients decide not to sign the waiver, Segal tells doctors to send them packing.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all very <em>1984</em>. It&#8217;s like agreeing to eat at a restaurant on the condition that you won&#8217;t tell anyone what the food is like. And I think it stinks.</p>
<p>Not long ago, I told you about a study of nearly 1000 breast cancer patients which revealed that about half of them said their doctor&#8217;s explanation of the condition, its diagnosis, and treatment options was insufficient, incomplete, or difficult to understand. If Dr. Segal&#8217;s company has its way, none of these women could pass on word of the shortcomings of these doctors to other potential patients.</p>
<p>In the last few years, the gap between doctors and their patients has widened considerably. It&#8217;s almost as though doctors believe that medicine itself has become larger than the people they&#8217;re seeking to treat.</p>
<p>Thankfully, some people are still determined to stand up for their rights. John Swapceinski created the web site <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ratemds.com/" target="_blank"><span>RateMDs.com</span></a> to give people the opportunity to anonymously rate their physicians. As you can imagine, Swapceinski has been pressured by doctors themselves and organizations like Medical Justice to remove negative comments — but he&#8217;s standing strong.</p>
<p>Doctors are &#8220;basically forcing the patients to choose between health care and their First Amendment rights,&#8221; Swapceinski correctly points out. &#8220;And I really find that repulsive.&#8221;</p>
<p>Swapceinski even intends to combat Segal&#8217;s Draconian patient waivers by listing the names of doctors requiring these gag orders on a &#8220;Wall of Shame&#8221; on the RateMDs web site.</p>
<p><span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">AMA President Dr. Nancy Nielsen</span> said that <span><span>online doctor</span></span> reviews &#8220;should certainly not be a patient&#8217;s <span>sole source of information</span>&#8221; when looking for a doctor.</p>
<p>Maybe not. But it&#8217;s certainly worth taking into account. And it&#8217;s certainly your right to do so.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in reading what other people have written about your doctor – or even in writing a review of your own – you can go online to websites like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.youreletters.com/t/1663765/52922987/1606700/0/" target="_blank"><span>www.ratemds.com</span></a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.youreletters.com/t/1663765/52922987/1606701/0/" target="_blank"><span>www.angieslist.com</span></a>.</p>
<p>Better do it now… while you still can!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone" title="Mumps Vaccine" src="http://www.scrumoftheearth.com/rugby_news/content/binary/Mumps.jpg" alt="" width="338" height="219" /></p>
<p>Take a look at the insanity being circulated at our local health department here in Ottawa. This is botched science at its best. The thinking being that if one dose doesn&#8217;t work, just give more! Sort of like spanking a child. Also, if Mumps is what is needing to be addressed, why are they also proposing to re-immunize against Measles and Rubella (German Measles)? The latter has not reared its ugly little head for over 50 years and has been in fact declared &#8220;eradicated&#8221;. In fact, it is the allopathic medical community that tries to take credit for this, but we know this little scourge just naturally found its way on the decline all by itself without any vaccine. I particularly love the part at the end of her memo when she cites, &#8220;<span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Fortunately, mumps is preventable through immunization, so advertising our clinics as much as possible is very important.&#8221; </span></span>Um, is she so entirely stupid to think that the audience she is writing to isn&#8217;t going to catch such an obvious contradiction? Hello???? As you all know we use safe, proven homeopathic remedies to cure the underlying cause and also apply the same principled, lawful science to prevent Mumps on the basis of Homoprophylaxis. We can do this safely and effectively with any childhood illness you would like to prevent in your child.<span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Dear OPH colleague;</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="en-us"><em><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Mumps is Back!</span></em> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">As you may be aware, the incidence of mumps has been increasing recently throughout Canada, primarily among postsecondary students.</span></span><span lang="en-ca"> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">There have been outbreaks of mumps in four other provinces, and infections are on the rise in Ontario. In response, The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care has implemented a one-time</span></span><span lang="en-ca"><em> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Mumps Catch-Up Vaccination Program</span></em><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> by offering free mumps-containing vaccine, called MMR (measles/mumps/rubella), through local Public Health Units.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="en-ca"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Four out of five people born in Ontario between 1970 and 1995 have received only one dose of the MMR vaccine, which may not provide them with enough protection against the mumps virus. After a new recommendation in 1996, most children in Ontario received two doses of the MMR vaccine before entering elementary school. To be fully protected from contracting mumps, two doses are required. Ottawa Public Health is encouraging all young adults born between 1970 and 1995 to review their immunization records, and receive a second dose of the MMR vaccine if this has not already occurred. Clinics will be hosted at all postsecondary institutions in Ottawa, and in various community settings, from January to March 2009. </span></span></p>
<p><span lang="en-us"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Mumps is a highly contagious viral illness that can have serious and permanent complications. Fortunately, mumps is preventable through immunization, so advertising our clinics as much as possible is very important.</span></span><span lang="en-us"><em><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The Community Immunization Clinics Program</span></em><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> would greatly appreciate your assistance with getting this information out into our community by sharing it with</span></span><span lang="en-ca"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> your community partners, friends and families.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-184" title="flu-shot-mismatch" src="http://arcanum.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/flu-shot-mismatch-150x150.jpg" alt="flu-shot-mismatch" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>Yes, folks, this is typically the scenario that arises every year.  If you listen closely you can hear the Center for Disease Control say, &#8220;Whoops, we missed the strain for this year&#8217;s flu shot &#8211; sorry.  Please try to overlook the fact that we&#8217;ve poisoned you, unnecessarily. Oh, and sorry also about your babies and your grandparents who also received virus from last year&#8217;s flu strain.  We now know that it didn&#8217;t work this year after all just like the year we also tried to administer the prior year&#8217;s flu virus without the Avian flu being contained, and now we&#8217;re going to scramble to make another one for 2009 to poison you again with just the right live strain, you&#8217;ll see, just so that we can make a ton more cash before March! Try not to notice the anti-freeze and the Mercury being injected into your bodies, those are just the preservatives we use. Try not to pay any attention to that fever or that little bit of paralysis you may suffer later, it&#8217;s not related at all.   Oh, and sorry that ADHD, Autism and Alzheimer&#8217;s are becoming epidemics, but we can never be sure what &#8220;gifts&#8221; we impart to humanity, because frankly, we&#8217;re entirely focused on getting this B-strain right before March.&#8221;</p>
<p>For the watered down media&#8217;s version, please see <a title="Globe and Mail article" href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090113.wlflu13/BNStory/specialScienceandHealth/home" target="_blank">this link</a>.<a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090113.wlflu13/BNStory/specialScienceandHealth/home" target="_blank"><br />
</a></p>
<p>As most of you know, you can receive the homeopathic dose, which causes no harm, on the principled basis of homoprophylaxis and that we&#8217;ve tracked 99% efficacy over the last 9 years.  The Center for Disease Control offers less than 15%.  The proof is in the pudding.</p>

<p>Did you know that Allpathic flu shots are being administered at drive-throughs and airports in the U.S.?  Did you know that the CDC (Centre for Disease Control) inflates the stats. saying that 35,000 people will suffer flu in a given year? Actually most of these individuals will in fact suffer pneumonia.  Did you know that the flu vaccine has no capacity to ward off pneumonia?<br />
Did you know that there is 25 mg of mercury (linked to mental illness including Schizophrenia and Autism) in every shot?  It is called thimerosal which is a preservative and 25 mgs exceeds the safe recommended amount as per the <a href="http://bit.ly/7LTJV" title="Dr. Mercola on The Flu Shot">Center for Disease Control (CDC)</a>.  In fact, you&#8217;d have to weigh over 500 lbs. for this amount of mercury to be safe.  The allopathic flu shot also contains other poisons like ethylene glygol (anti-freeze), aluminum (linked to Alzheimers and seizures), phenol (carbolic acid, dye, disinfectant), Formaldehyde (a known cancer-causing agent) and Neomycin and Streptomycin (used as antibiotics) have caused allergic reaction in some people.  The U.S. recommends these shots annually for all individuals, including babies from 6 months to 5 years.</p>
<p>During the winter is when most individuals might suffer the flu.  Proper regimen, including Vit. D, and exposure to sunlight, especially at dawn or at sunset.  By sun gazing safely at these twilight times, within  10 minutes you will receive over 4,000 units of Vit. D which is 4 times the daily dose required to help stave off the flu and other illnesses.  It does this by balancing the pineal gland which helps restore immunity by infusing you with inner light metabolism.  Just like food, to stay healthy and happy in the winter months, you need to metabolize light.</p>
<p>The other thing you can do is contact us here at Arcanum Wholistic Clinic and on the basis of Homophylaxis (safe, natural, true preventative bio-energetic vaccination) we can administer this for <u>free</u> to anyone who would like to receive it in the world.  It can be safely taken by anyone, including babies and the elderly, without causing an ounce of harm.</p>
<p>It is also a great boost to take a liquid supplement of Vit. D and they even make <a href="http://shopping.msn.com/specs/rainbow-light-vitamin-d-1-000-iu-sunny-gummies-sour-lemon-flavor-50-gum/itemid1069127679/?itemtext=itemname:rainbow-light-vitamin-d-1-000-iu-sunny-gummies-sour-lemon-flavor-50-gum&amp;fulldesc=1" title="Rainbow Light, Vitamin D 1,000 IU, Sunny Gummies, Sour Lemon Flavor" target="_blank">lemon flavored doses</a> of this liquid version of sunlight so that your kids don&#8217;t run screaming the other way!</p>
