Forbidden Doctor: Revealing Forbidden Health Secrets!

We all come into this great big world as tiny little babies—helpless, really, and completely dependent on our mothers to care for us, feed us, and keep us safe. And as babies in the womb, our guts—as well as everything else—are completely sterile. We are blank slates. The process of acclimating to our surroundings is so beautifully complex, so wonderfully crafted. Let’s take a look at that today as we marvel at the immune system and where it really all begins.

As we travel through the birth canal, we receive our first natural inoculation, collecting some of our mother’s flora—good or bad—in our eyes, ears, mouth. That flora, which makes up about 85% of our immune system, to a large degree, determines our future health. Those microbes and antibodies set up shop inside the walls of our gut as they pass through, and we have now begun the process of becoming one with the world, never to be completely sterile again.

Weary from life’s first major excursion, it’s time for a drink. Now it is important to note that Mama’s milk doesn’t start out as “milk,” per se. Those first few days at the breast are not so much about power-packed nutrition as they are about awakening our immune systems. That colostrum is vitally important to a strong, capable immune system, and begins to lay the foundation for a healthy life. And as a baby essentially has no immune system of its own for the first year of life, with every nursing, we are literally injected with everything we need to fight off the bad guys and support the good. It is training for how we will respond to the big bugs as we become independent from our mothers and eventually set off on our own two feet.

The medical field would have us thinking that the only protection we can have from disease, viruses, and bacteria is isolation. But I think we can all agree that from the beginning of it all—our entrance into this world—we are designed to be PART of the world. Yes, we are separate and important and creative forces IN the world, but we need to be one with it in order that we and the world can function as we are meant to.

So perhaps you’re thinking, “Well, that’s great, but I wasn’t born vaginally,” or “My mom never nursed me. I was bottle-fed.” Never you fear. The body is an incredible thing. Haven’t we told you about your “forbidden doctor?” The forbidden doctor is your body. The body is set, before birth, to restore and rebuild. That’s why we talk so much about “healing and sealing” the gut. It can be done!

Check out some of our other podcasts and blog posts on exactly what steps you can take toward beginning the process of restoring and rebuilding your immune system by way of developing a healthy gut. We’ve only just begun!

What We Talk About:

Your body does the best triage there is and nobody in the world knows what’s going on in your body—not even you—but your body knows.

How important the nervous system is. By freeing up the brainstem through gentle (no cracking, popping, or twisting!) NUCCA chiropractic technique, you improve your overall health.
How the major neurotransmitter of conscious thought—serotonin in the brain—is actually manufactured in the gut.
It all starts as babies. The first thing a fetus develops? The nervous system.
You can be your own forbidden doctor, and you can do it from your own home.
Why nursing is so important, especially the very first three days.
Why babies instinctually know to put everything they encounter into their mouths and how this teaches them to relate to the world around them, to be one with the world.
How and why if each kidney is healthy, the whole body works healthier together.
Ways one can avoid destroying or protecting precious gut flora.
Why stress is so bad for us (duh).
Even if you weren’t breastfeed as a child, you can still fix this. GAPS! It has wonderful side effects like--great energy, a strong libido, weight loss--just to name a few.
Forbidden information you are not allowed to know that will help you ward off infections or horrible virus’.
85-86% of your immune system is in the gut - start with healing and sealing the gut and everything else will take care of itself. You can start from your own kitchen.

What's Happening In Your Gut And Why You Should Care [Episode #4]

With all the hoopla—and rightfully so—sweeping the nation surrounding Ebola, Enterovirus D68, and other viruses reaching pandemic proportion, what little information public health officials provide in the way of prevention is sorely lacking. “Wash your hands,” “Don’t touch your eyes or nose with unwashed hands,” “Refrain from hugging or kissing those who are sick.” Come on, guys, give us a little credit! I don’t know about you, but when I see someone coughing or throwing up, kissing is NOT the first thing on my mind.

So today we want to talk about some ACTUAL ways to prevent infectious disease, beginning with understanding the immune system from the inside out. Hippocrates gave us some important information about where disease starts some 2,400 years ago when he said, “All diseases begin in the gut.” Yes, we have a lot of fancy, new medicines, treatments, and procedures, but let me tell you, this guy knew what he was talking about!

80-85% of our immune system is located in the gut. The rest is in our spleen, marrow, lymphs—but the gut is our first line of defense. First of all, it’s where we absorb nutrition so that we can rebuild the liver, lung tissue, even the skin. But the gut has another job, and that is to produce enzymes that kill viruses, bacteria, bad yeast, bad fungi—it keeps things in balance. It produces every antibiotic under the sun.

As people who live in the world, we learn over time who our neighbors, our family, our friends are; we know who is safe and who is not. But our immune systems are not so discriminating. They view every invader as a danger. If it’s not self, it’s the enemy.

So what’s a human to do? Stay indoors? Never shake hands with or kiss another human? Live in a bubble? No! That’s no way to live! Remember that our immune system is here to help us. So we need to do our best to help it help us. There is a way to set our immune system up for success—to have those cells ready at a moment’s notice to fight the battle against the enemy and win.

Our biggest problem is our Standard American Diet—SAD. And it is sad indeed! When most of the stuff coming down the pike is no longer technically what Mother Nature would consider food, the system begins to break down. Holes begin to form, and stuff gets through the walls of the gut and the bloodstream that should not be there. We begin to react to natural proteins in natural foods, like gluten and casein. We develop allergies to things we never had a problem with before. To protect itself, the body, in its wisdom, builds up a thick wall of mucous in the gut to prevent invaders from getting through the system, which is good... but it’s also bad, because now we aren’t absorbing nutrition and the immune system cannot function as it’s created to function.

So what are the first steps in healing and sealing the gut?

1. FAT. Chicken soup—the perfect soft, nourishing food, full of healing fat. Other good fats are butter and cream. Try butter in your coffee. I put butter in my chicken soup! Any way you can get it down, I’m all for it.

2. IODINE. One of iodine’s chief jobs is to pull fats into the cell membranes, creating soft, moist, supple membranes in order that each cell can release toxins and absorb nutrition.

We have a lot to say about the gut, and nearly all of it is forbidden information. It’s not complicated though, so don’t be scared! You can get started healing and sealing your gut, and consequently, strengthening your immune system today.

What We Talk About:

Learn forbidden information about how you can turn on your immune system even more through your gut.
Prevention is a lot more than washing your hands and sneezing in tissues.
Why there is a flu season and the real reason the fall seems to predominate for cold and flus.
Where does disease being? In the gut! Somebody told us that 2,400 years ago.
One of the largest conspiracies on the planet, why the FDA only promotes medicine and drugs, preventative care is censored and treated as voodoo. Where is your immune system?
About 80-85% of your immune system is in your gut. The digestive system turns over about almost every day, the inside lining of your mouth--the inside of your cheeks that touch the teeth--constantly new cells, constantly, all the time.
So what does someone do to avoid disease? Stay indoors all the time, never touch anything or anyone? Live in a bubble? No way! Isolation does not prevent disease.
The problem is the current lifestyle of Americans, being a rather sedentary lifestyle, a lifestyle of processed foods, a lifestyle of preserved foods has a very diminishing effect upon the strength of the immune system.
Why were you able to eat gluten before and not now? Learn how gluten is not the problem at all.
We discuss candida, heartburn, acid reflux, diabetes, leaky gut and more - and why all thes...

How To Strengthen Your Immunity - Part 1 [Episode #6]

Today we’re going to talk about “forbidden immunity.” Why is it forbidden? Well, there just isn’t a lot of profit in the propagation of healthy immune systems now, is there? Just a theory. But we’ll let you decide as we dive in a little deeper. We have looked at the foundations of gut health in previous blog posts, and we go into much greater detail in some of our podcasts, but today let’s take it a step further as we examine the basics of immunity.

All of life is a balance, and this goes for the gut as well, which houses around 85% of the immune system, so our focus is always on bringing back that balanced state, that homeostasis—the good, the bad, flora, viruses—because our bodies are designed to survive and thrive as one with the world around us. Prior to the 1940s, and the ushering in of the “drugs for anything, drugs for everything” era, honoring this balance and connection between the gut and immunity by healing with nutrition, herbs, and other natural modalities to, in essence, help the body help itself was standard issue medical practice. Over the years, this vital information has become virtually unknown, so we’re here today to bring it to light.

There are two arms to the immune system, as far as we know at this point in time: the cell-mediated response and the humeral response. Both are regulated to a staggeringly large degree by the health of the gut. And when they’re both doing their jobs, as nature intends, it’s truly a beautiful thing to behold. When they’re not, or when we try to medically force one system through a series of short-cuts—as in the case of inoculation—trouble is just around the corner.

So let’s start with the cell-mediated response. It’s made up of a network of white blood cells—beta lymphocytes, phagocytes, macrophages. These are the good guys who are ready and waiting to attack at the first sign of intruders, like a cold virus, chickenpox, or even Ebola. Their job is to destroy the bad guys.

Now here is a bit of forbidden information for you. At this point in the immune response, people are “sick”—the sniffles, a cough, a rash, a fever. It’s now that you will hear people say things like, “My body hates me,” “Oh, I feel awful,” or even “My immune system must not be very strong because I’m so sick.” But here is what you need to understand. These signs of “sickness” are really just signs that you’re healthy. They are evidence of a strong, capable, healthy cell-mediated response. The sickness is not evidence that you are being overtaken by the virus but rather that the virus is being overtaken by your immune system—that you are, indeed, alive and kicking!

Once the cell-mediated response has cleared the virus from the body, it’s time for the humeral system, also known as the antibody system, to follow suit. It takes about four to six weeks, but now the next time that virus makes an appearance, the cell-mediated system doesn’t have to do anything because the humeral response has created antibodies, which prevent you from getting sick. This is why you don’t get chickenpox a second time if you got sick with them as a kid.

I mentioned vaccines above. It’s not even about the potential dangers of vaccinating though. You may be a huge believer in vaccinating, and that is okay. Immunity is a well-choreographed dance between gut flora, white blood cells, antibodies. We are set to obliterate foreign invaders and rebuild the body. We are designed to absorb the good and excrete the bad. A healthy gut, and thereby a healthy immune system, can handle what life throws its way—colds, flu, bacteria, Ebola, toxins, and yes, even vaccines. So that’s the information that we hope takes hold in your mind and in your heart today. Let’s start there. Let’s rebuild the gut, strengthening the immune system, so that we can take on... and maybe even change the world!
