Let's Talk Detox

 

Have you ever done any form of detoxing?  If not, you may want to consider it.

There is a lot of talk out there these days about detoxing.  It is actually a pretty important piece of our health.  We are surrounded by toxins in everything we do.  From the items in our home, furniture, carpet, paint, candles, anything scented, laundry detergent and other products, self care products, tattoos, medications, cooking items, utensils, food storage and so much more.

These things are causing major health issues and we are not doing anything to support our bodies to get rid of these toxins.

 

One of the FIRST steps is making sure your lymph drainage pathways are open is a crucial piece and something you can easily do yourself at home.  I search lymph drainage and found several YouTube videos showing you how to do it.  Either with certain 'massage' to drainage areas or by dry brushing.  When you open these pathways, your body can then release all the ick you are detoxing out more easily!

There are many ways to detox, one of my favorites is fulvic/humic acid because it is a detoxifier and binder in one PLUS replenishes your minerals which is another key component to our health.

There are also teas, supplements, castor oil, diatomaceous earth and more, but make sure you are using a binder of some sort to help pull those toxins out of your body, otherwise they just continue to circulate.

Here are a few sources of binders:

My favorite is Fulvic Humic Acid because not only is it a binder, it gives you minerals and has TONS of other health benefits.  Check out my post with more info here.

Activated Charcoal is another.  It carries toxins out and is used in hospitals for poisons and more.

Pectasol - C is what I used during my active cancer treatment to bind all the dead cells.

Serrapeptase is great for clearing dead cells, scar tissue and more!  You can join this group to learn more about what it does. (***Note do not use if taking blood thinners***)

BUT there is a piece I want to talk about ~ when doing any detox you may experience what is called "herxing" reaction where you may experience flu or illness like symptoms from the toxins.  This is why going slowly and staying hydrated are key.

My Maintenance Protocol

 

As you may have read in an earlier post, My MD wants me to stay on chemo every other week for the rest of my life.

I had no quality of life while on chemo.  While I was blessed to have very few and mostly mild side effects, it obliterated my immune system so I couldn't be around my kids or grandkids, which for me is not living.  So why would I continue to stay on it just to "prolong" a life.

NEXT, I am in remission (his words) not only with a ctDNA test but with PET scan confirmation and another ctDNA test confirming this.  I KNOW this is in large part (if not all) because of the alternative methods of treatment I added.  My ARNP told me at the very beginning remission was "possible" with 6 cycles (3 weeks of treatment each cycle) or 18 rounds of chemo.  I was in remission in 7 rounds.

SO ~ Because my cancer is considered aggressive with a high rate of return, I will follow a maintenance protocol.

Many Other Uses for the Off Labels

 

Iver has a natural basis, but is not a natural product.  HOWEVER, there are very little side effects with it and TONS of uses beyond what the "alphabet" agencies have approved.

Here is some info from the frontline Dr's regarding uses and doses.

Here is a great article about it if you want to learn more.  The following info is from that article:

How to Calculate Iver Dose:

**Note that iver is available in different strengths (e.g., 3, 6 or 12 mg) and administration forms (tablets, capsules, drops, etc.). Note that ivermectin tablets can be halved for more accurate dosing, while capsules cannot.

The following prophylaxis approaches with ivermectin can be considered and applied based on patient preference, comorbid status, immune status, and in discussion with their provider:

1. ○Twice weekly iver mectin at 0.2mg/kg; can be considered in those with significant comorbidity and lack of natural immunity or immunosuppressive states or those with long COVID or post-vaccine syndrome who are not already on iver mectin as treatment
2. ○Daily iver mectin just prior to and during periods of high possible exposure such as travel, weddings, conferences, etc.
3. ○Immediate initiation of daily ivermectin at treatment doses (0.4mg/kg) upon first symptoms of a viral syndrome

Dr. William Makis recently shared success using Iver for Neuro issues, M S, Parkin sons, Memory issues like Alz heimers/de mentia and more.  Check out this video for more info (he talks about dosing in it as well) 

IF you are using Iver as a parasite cleanse, you will want a binder to help remove the dead cells and toxins.  You can use Fulvic Humic Acid OR Pectasol C.  I have used both, but now daily use the Fulvic because of the many health benefits from it as well as parasite detox and binding actions.

Hydrox y chloro quine (HCQ) ~ Epidemic of Fraud: Exposing Hydroxychloroquine Censorship

Long before hydrox y chloro quine became controversial, there was quinine—a bitter extract from the bark of the cinchona tree, native to the Andes. Indigenous people in Peru used it to treat fevers. Spanish missionaries brought it to Europe, where it became known as the “miracle cure” for malaria.

(HCQ): 200 mg twice a day for 5 days.

Fen Ben Dazole ~ Can be used in conjuction with Iver.  Does not cross the blood brain barrier, but can be taken with DMSO (as long as you are not on any prescription meds) OR you can use Meben dazole which does.

PARASITES ~ 

Here is a handy chart for helping figure out the conversion from kg/lbs for Iver dosing.

This website has some great info about parasite cleanse dosing as well as different options for meds to do that.

Here is another with a bit more dosing info.

I highly recommend the use of a binder with these.  These are killing parasites and when you kill parasites, the release toxins as they die.  If you don't use a binder to help carry the toxins, dead cells/parasites out, they will continue to circulate in your body causing other issues.  You may also experience what is called "herxing" (herxheimer reaction) as those toxins are released.  It is very normal and will pass.

Here are a few sources of binders:

My favorite is Fulvic Humic Acid because not only is it a binder, it gives you minerals and has TONS of other health benefits.  Check out my post with more info here.

Activated Charcoal is another.  It carries toxins out and is used in hospitals for poisons and more.

Pectasol - C is what I used during my active cancer treatment to bind all the dead cells.

Serrapeptase is great for clearing dead cells, scar tissue and more!  You can join this group to learn more about what it does. (***Note do not use if taking blood thinners***)

Walk A Mile In My Shoes Before You Assume Things... OR Just Ask.

 

I want to talk about something that was said about me and my journey recently.  

Someone who has never spoken to me about my journey and only knows what I have shared in my Facebook group commented that my chemo dose was a "placebo".

FIRST ~ that doesn't even make sense.  The word "placebo" by definition means "a substance having no pharmacological effect but given merely to satisfy a patient who supposes it to be a medicine."  SO my oncology team wasn't actually treating me?  I just wanted chemo? (Newsflash I didn't want chemo at all and wouldn't have been doing alternatives if I believed chemo was the answer).

SECOND ~ would I have lost my hair on a placebo?  Would my white blood cells, neutrophils and platelets have dropped so low I was having issues even being treated, catching stuff if I did go out, that took months to fight off and I couldn't see my kids or granddaughter.  Would I have dealt with gastro/digestion issues?  or Phantom smells?  While I didn't have many side effects, I did have a several.  One of the reasons my side effects were not worse was I was supporting my body with supplements.

While I will never put my health and life 100% into a Drs (or medical professionals) hands, I do trust my oncology team and their knowledge. They have listened to my concerns and worked with me and my health and wellness knowledge.  The looked at all the info, lab results, etc. each appointment and made the appropriate decision and allowed me to make the FINAL decisions.

Months before my diagnosis, around the end of my husbands journey I said I would never do chemo as there are many other ways to treat cancer without the side effects.  BUT when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, I knew there was no choice but to do it in conjunction with the other ways.  I have too much to live for.  I would never have gone through a procedure to implant a device into my body to deliver poison into it if I weren't going to give this battle my all.

Most importantly I am an open book, happy to answer any questions about my journey (and evidenced by this blog) have been loud and proud in order to bring awareness and help others.  So, if you have a question?  Just ASK ~ Don't talk about and assume you know my journey and treatment.

Natural Remedies I Use and Love

 

As I have shared in several previous posts, I prefer to treat as much as possible naturally.  Long before "medicines" came to be, plants, minerals and other natural resources were used as medicine.  It's not alternative medicine; it's the original medicine!  Please learn and advocate for yourself and your family.

I am always researching and learning before I use something and would never share anything that would be harmful.  With that said, please do your own research, these are things I have learned about, researched and use, but is not medical advice of any kind.  Even though they are natural, there can be contraindications if you are taking a medication prescribed by your Dr (for example, some may have blood thinning effects (like curcumin) and if you are taking a blood thinner, you wouldn't want to take something natural that would intensify that effect, until you got off of the synthetic.)

Here are a few of my favorite go to natural options:

First is my supplements.  They are good quality, natural supplements (nothing synthetic), that changed my life in so many ways and have overall kept me incredibly healthy for 12 years now.

Oil of Oregano is a natural antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal.  NOTE:  This is NOT an essential oil and is safe to take internally, though it is very strong.  This is what we used (along with our other supplements) in 20/21 when the c0 vid hit our house (I had houseguests and continued to "host" and was over it in 3 days).  You can get it in capsule form as well.

     

Mullein is a "wild" plant that grows in many fields.  It is great for respiratory issues and can help clear the lungs.  This is consumed as a tincture, tea or even smoked.  This can be gathered in the wild (if you do, make sure not to gather on the roadside as it is contaminated with exhaust, weed sprays, road spray, etc.).  You can use the leaves and flowers (the leaves do have tiny hairs, so if you steep the leaves, strain before consuming as those hairs can irritate).

Soursop I have started recently for my cancer journey.  It is a tropical fruit that grows in Hawaii as well as other places (though I have never seen it).  Its leaves are made into a tea or there are tinctures as well.

Black Seed Oil (or Black Cumin Seed Oil) ~ I have heard it said this is good for everything except death.

Castor Oil ~ So many amazing uses and benefits. It is a detoxer (many may think of the old use as a laxative), but will break up "lumps, bumps and adhesions" according to Barbara O'Niell.  Start slow to avoid "herxing" which is detoxing.  Can use with a Castor Oil pack with or without heat, a few drops in your belly button, topically for skin health.  Many say it will help grow eyelashes and even help eye issues when rubbed on eyelids.  Make sure it is Hexane Free and in an amber glass bottle. *DO NOT use if you have active cancer as it will bring blood flow to area and can cause growth or spread*

DMSO Great for pain and more.  This is a new one to me that I am beginning to research.  Here are several articles you can read.  BUT ~ Whatever you use this with, will be driven deeper into your body (for instance, a lotion on your skin), it will also intensify any medications you are on.  This is talked about in the Colloidal Silver group I shared below, several links and articles there.

DMSO Book is loaded with info about its origin, safety, uses and even recipes.

Humic/Fulvic Acid ~ This is loaded with minerals and helps to detox your body.  It is a great electrolyte, loaded with over 70 minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, enzymes and more.  It is Antiviral / Antimicrobial / Heavy Metal Detox / 70+ Essential Minerals every organ needs / Restores the Mitochondria / Anti-Inflammatory / Essential Amino Acids / Immune Booster / Improves Cognitive Function / Powerful Electrolyte / Helps eliminate parasites / NanoTechnology Detoxifier and much more

Epsom Salt ~ I add this with Baking Soda to the bath to help detox and absorb magnesium which we are all deficient in.  I get this at the store (unscented is best).  Safe for the whole family.  Not a bather?  A foot soak is just as effective.

Saline Nasal Spray (or Sinus rinse) ~ I prefer the fine mist spray as I don't feel like I am drowning.  This is my go-to at the first sign of congestion or sinus issue.  This can be found at the link I shared, at any drug store or Costco has a large size 3 pack and is my usual place to grab it.  We also have been using Colloidal Silver alongside this to treat nasal things.

My newest favorite is Colloidal Silver.  This is a natural Antibiotic, Antiviral, Antifungal and more.  Literally good for everything.  Can be ingested, inhaled with a nebulizer or used topically.  I have shared with people and get told "I don't want to turn blue".  I think we all have heard the story of the blue man.  He turned blue because he was brewing his silver with salt (which caused a reaction) and ingesting huge quantities of it.  Used as a medicine it is totally safe for you, all of your family members and even your pets.  NOW I did learn after I started my journey you only need 10ppm (which is the safest).  I started using it in June 24 when I got what appeared to be a bad case (the worst I have ever experienced) of pink eye.  I used 2 drops in my eye for 3 days and it was totally clear.  I then really started doing some research and found this group, full of info and testimonies.  Use the search feature to learn about specific issues and see testimonies.  There are also several articles about silver, its safety and many uses.  I am making my own and have it available for sale because good for so many things!  Send me a message if you are interested in purchasing from me!

I received this book for Christmas "The Forgotten Home Apothecary" and have been really enjoying perusing it.  I have made the Elderberry syrup to help support and boost my immune system and have more to make on my list!

I also refer to this book, "The Prescription for Nutritional Healing"

Some Research Links About Repurposed Options

Here are a few resources I found for "studies" and success stories.

There are over 300 studies published in peer reviewed literature!

World’s first peer-reviewed study on anticancer benefits of ivermectin, mebendazole and fenbendazole published in reputable journal – NaturalNews.com

Johns Hopkins Study: Anti-Parasitic Drug Slows Pancreatic Cancer in Mice | Johns Hopkins Medicine

 Fenbendazole Cancer Success Stories: 107 Case Reports Compilation (February 2025 Edition)

I shared about Joe Tippens before, where I originally learned of this but again to make it easy, his blog is mycancerstory.rocks and there is a Facebook group with the same name (don't look for Joe Tippens there as there are a ton of scammers trying to profit from his name).

As I mentioned, we have been also following Dr. Makis, an Oncologist from Canada with tons of success stories.  Not only with cancer but with many other health conditions such as Neurologic issues like MS, ALS, Parkinsons, Dementia and more.

Check out this Dr. William Makis interview ~ AMAZING information here.

Ivermectin for Parkinson's Disease and Dementia: Can Ivermectin play a key role in treating Parkinson's Disease and Dementia?

Here are a few resources I have found for more info on those.  First, he shares a ton of these stories on X (search @MakisMD) and he has been a guest on many podcasts sharing info.  I went to rumble and searched his name.

A few quick searches (I would use DuckDuckGo as it isn't tracking and blocking info) and the info is out there and easy to find if you want to.

I know it has worked for me and many others with my diagnosis, and many other diagnosis's and we feel led to share that with as many as I can!

Remission But You Need To Stay on Chemo for Life ~ WHAT???

 

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

That is truly what I feel about Drs these days.  Gone are the days when they truly cared about their patients and healing them.  Don't get me wrong we love our oncology team but most Drs only know what they were taught.  They don't take the time to ask "could there be a better way".  Of course there are exceptions to that, but they are often hard to find or insurance doesn't cover it or...

We started asking that 12 years ago, long before our cancer journeys.  I found a passion for all things natural health related as I shared previously.  Due to that, I knew there were much better ways than the "standard of care", many natural ways that don't take you to the brink of death, have worse side effects and leave lasting issues forever.  

They now have what is called "circulating tumor DNA" tests that are specific to specific cancers, mine was even typed to my cancer specifically and are more accurate than all the scans (which by the way, pump your body full of radiation, which can cause cancer (insanity?))  My ctDNA test on 12/31, came back ZERO - NO cancer in my blood. My NP wanted a PET scan to verify before declaring remission.  So last Thursday (2/6) I had that scan and on Friday I saw the results.  Today our Dr said "remission" BUT we will do chemo every other week for life.  WHAT?

I said No!  He was taken aback and didn't like that.  I said the NP said I could do every 3 weeks and only need today and 3 weeks from now.  He said he told her he didn't agree with that.  I continued to fight back, respectfully!  I understand his point, but he doesn't know I am using alternative treatments and supplementation, which I will maintain for life.  Infact, had this not been pancreatic cancer I never would have done chemo at all.  He did finally agree, that redoing the ctDNA test today (results in approximately a week), providing it is zero again (no doubt in my mind it will be) we can go 3 weeks.  So 3 more weeks we likely will have this discussion again, but I will advocate for myself (as I urge everyone to).

Please know I am still fighting, but continuing my natural regimen, possibly adding in many of the other natural options out there on occasion.  I will remain a survivor.  More importantly, our God is bigger than even cancer and He isn't done with me!

If you want to chat about my regimen (you can see it here) or about any of the other natural options I know of, please reach out!
