Detoxing Menopause

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Friday, September 30, 2011

I was a guest on a recent radio show called Magnificent Menopause and Beyond, Sept 8, 2011. We did a great hour called “Magnificent Magnesium.”

During the show I mentioned that menopause heralds a time when the body is no longer having it’s monthly “detox.” Therefore it’s beneficial to add your own detox. One of the hosts of the show just wrote to me and said she followed my advice and ordered the detox clay I recommend from LL’s Magnetic Clay. She said that she was surprised at how relaxing the bath was…but she said the clean up was awful and stressed her out.

I describe the clay I recommend and how to use it at my Resources link on my website:

“LL’s Magnetic Clay is a sodium bentonite clay for external use. The company has elaborate instructions for doing these baths using a pound of clay, which you can do…but for most people it’s way too complicated and uses so much clay it can clog up the drain. Which means you have to collect the clay after your bath and throw it in the garbage. Instead, simply blend up ¼ to 1 cup of clay in your blender with lots of water and pour that into your footbath or tub. Soak for 30 min and shower off. Do a bath or footbath at least three times a week. You can do more if you have time.”

Many people use a full pound of clay when dealing with severe health conditions but you can’t let that much clay go down the drain like you can when it’s blenderized.

I also use LL’s Magnesium Flakes in the same clay bath. Some people say that you “should” do the baths separately. Personally, I do them together to save time…you know I love multitasking…so I just let the body sort out what it wants to do with the clay and with the magnesium. I’ve had nothing but positive responses from people who use both products together, so why change something that works?

Too Much Medicine

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Wednesday, September 28, 2011

A recent survey of US primary care physicians revealed that nearly half (42%) believe that their patients receive too much medical care. More than a quarter of physicians surveyed believe that they themselves practice medicine too aggressively.

The survey was carried out because primary care physicians are on “the frontline of health care delivery” and “are at least indirectly responsible for initiating the cascade of health care utilization (testing, therapies, and hospitalizations) for most patients,” explain the researchers.

It appears that this survey confirms what many of us have been saying all along. That too much health care may be detrimental to your health. It’s well known that during times of doctors or nurses strikes, fewer people die.

My answer was to become an MD and an ND to have and offer the best of both worlds. I seriously thought that by now, 35 years after I entered medical school, that natural medicine would be the dominant form of health care. Unfortunately I was wrong. So that’s why I write books and articles, created a wellness program and do as many radio shows as I can to promote health.

Media: Here’s a show you can listen to today, September 28, 2011. It’s called Let’s Talk Books” at 9pm EST. Listen Live.

Healthy Snacking

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Monday, September 26, 2011

I’m asked all the time to recommend healthy snacks. So, here’s a nice email I just received from my friend Dr. Roby Mitchell that I’d like to share with you. The baker’s dozen list comes complete with a picture that you can see here.

“At home, work, or on the go, it’s important to not let yourself be sabotaged by hunger. A hungry brain is more vulnerable to bad choices.

1. Sea Cruncies are seaweed baked to a crisp. Excellent source of iodine. Eat them like chips.

2. Beanitos served with spicy guacamole.

3. The “Pepper Medley” is great to use to dip hummus. (A variety of green, red and yellow peppers.)

4. Wild sardines are a great source of fish oil.

5. Dried black currants look like raisins but are very different. Black currants are very high in antifungals(phenolics/anthocyanidins). The white grapes used to make raisins are not.

6. Add lemon to honey-flavored Greek yogurt to make a dessert that is better than key lime pie.

7. Wild Amazonian peanuts are also high in antifungals unlike those used to make most peanut products.

8. Pumpkin seeds are highly nutritious and promote healthy breasts and prostates.

9. Low sodium chicken broth can be used alone (15 calories) or to make a soup. You can even add a scoop of whey protein.

10. For breakfast, grind golden flaxseed and add blueberries and yogurt.

11. Paste almond butter on cut-up apples.

12. Spice dark pumpkin seeds with rosemary, oregano and cilantro.

13. Pistachio nuts are probably the most healthful you can eat. Get the low salt, unshelled ones.

Gradually restock your pantry so that you can only make healthful choices.”

Healing with Herbs

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Friday, September 23, 2011

A journalist just interviewed me about the recent medical journal article on the use of the herb saw palmetto for benign prostatic hypertrophy. The study concluded that “Increasing doses of a saw palmetto fruit extract did not reduce lower urinary tract symptoms more than placebo.”

She asked if I would tell people to stop taking saw palmetto because of this study.

Here’s my response:

A funny thing happens on the way to the research lab!

Things get twisted.

It seems to me that this study is similar to other herbal trials. Here’s how it goes: The pervading herbal wisdom is positive for an herb. People take it and some (if not many) people benefit.

Then science gets hold of the herb but usually uses a herb that is standardized to what scientists “think” is the most active ingredient. The final product is no longer a herb but a chemical that is usually only one small part of a herb.

Then the scientists test this “non-herb” on people using finer and finer criteria and “low and behold” it doesn’t do what the ancient herbalists thought it did. Lord Suffering Cats, they aren’t even testing what the ancients used at all! So, what do they expect?

On the other hand, my philosophy is to survey the ancient wisdom, use a whole organic herb product, and let the individual’s body decide if it’s suitable for them. Not everyone is going to respond to the same herb. Why would they? After all, there are thousands of herbs!

However, science wants to isolate the one chemical from the one herb and make it apply to everyone for their one diagnosis. They are doing an enormous disservice to herbalism and to people in general. They are making people distrust herbs because they are saying their use is unscientific. They cause people to stop using their natural products because they think that science is saying the herb is worthless…when what is “worthless” is the isolated chemical used in the study. It’s like comparing apples and grapefruit…which is even worse than comparing apples and oranges.

Don’t wait around for scientists to “get a clue” about herbs. Check with your local herbalist, naturopath or chiropractor and do your own “research.”

My eBook, Future Health Encyclopedia is full of herbal remedies as well as homeopathy, vitamins, minerals, nutrition and other natural treatments for hundreds of medical conditions.

Fallout from the Flu

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Wednesday, September 21, 2011

I’ve heard it over and over again. Some people who suffer an intestinal flu can end up with symptoms of IBS or gluten intolerance or even colitis. My sister, Christine Wheeler and I wrote about all this in our books IBS for Dummies and IBS Cookbook for Dummies.

What happens?

The virus or bacteria that irritates the stomach intestines enough to cause vomiting and diarrhea can momentarily strip the fragile disaccharide enzymes from the walls of the small intestine. Simply put, these enzymes digest sucrose, fructose, lactose and the glucose chains of some grains. In their absence, sugar, fruit, dairy, wheat, rye and barley remain undigested in your gut. These undigested foods ferment and cause gas. They also become fodder for bacteria and yeast in your gut.

If your intestines become irritated enough to cause “leaky gut” then some of these food molecules can make their way across the intestinal lining into the blood stream and act as foreign invaders causing allergic reactions. We know (from the study of yeast overgrowth) that toxic byproducts from feeding the intestinal flora can be absorbed and cause symptoms from brain fog to arthritis.

People who have symptoms that drag on after a flu can be improperly diagnosed with eating disorders, colitis, IBS, allergies, anxiety, depression, arthritis and chronic fatigue to name a few.

In my practice and in my books I tell people who have intestinal flu to:

1. Stop eating fruit, dairy and wheat until several days past the illness. Read labels!

2. Eat home-made soups and drink lots of clean water.

3. Get lots of rest. I call it “Lying Down Therapy.”

4. Take probiotics. I recommend Prescript Assist.

5. Detox the body with clay and magnesium baths to remove the viral, bacterial and yeast toxins. I recommend Magnetic Clay and Magnesium Flakes.

Even if you had a bad flu a long time ago and have never been well since, the above advice can benefit you. However, I should throw a disclaimer in here that you should not take this information as medical advice until you speak with a knowledgeable practitioner.

As for the flu vaccine, look at the Cochrane Database Review of 2010. Analyzing 50 studies, the authors found no evidence of benefit for influenza vaccinations and also noted that the vast majority of trials were inadequate. The only ones showing benefit were industry-funded yet those studies were more likely to be published in the most prestigious journals. They also found cases of severe harm caused by the vaccines, in spite of inadequate reporting of adverse effects.

NOTE: If you’ve enjoyed our IBS for Dummies books, feel free to write a review on Amazon. They are fantastic books that explain everything that may be causing IBS and what to do about it.

Medicalizing Sleeplessness

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Saturday, September 17, 2011

“The Medicalization of Sleeplessness: A Public Health Concern” is the title of an article in the August, 2011 issue of the American Journal of Public health. The authors address the fact that sleeplessness is being increasingly diagnosed and medicalized as a disease condition called insomnia. I call it “creating the disease and offering the cure.”

To come to this conclusion they examined the trend in sleeplessness complaints, diagnoses, and prescriptions of sedative hypnotics in doctor’s office visits from 1993 to 2007.

They found that complaints and insomnia diagnoses increased over time and were far outpaced by prescriptions for sedative hypnotics. They conclude that “insomnia may be a public health concern, but potential overtreatment with marginally effective, expensive medications with nontrivial side effects raises definite population health concerns.”

What do you do instead of taking sleeping pills? Magnesium? Clay baths?

Actually, it’s more than just taking a pill, even if it is magnesium. And more than just detoxing, even if it is clay. Magnesium and clay will definitely help but what if you’re not sleeping because you have a lot of electrical appliances in your bedroom that irritate your brain. A member of Completement Now! told me she hadn’t slept well for a year until she discovered the electrical box for new house was in her bedroom. She took the advice of Module 4 in my program and shuts off her electricity at night. You can obtain that module as well as Modules 1-3 for free by signing up for this newsletter.

Yes, it’s much more than just taking a pill to knock you out! What if the sugar you eat before bedtime keeps you awake? What if there is too much light coming into your bedroom at night? What if your stress hormones kick in at night and keep you awake? Sure, magnesium can help, and that’s where I start but I’d also advise you to look into your lifestyle.

To make it easy for you to modify your lifestyle I spent two years developing an online wellness program that holds you hand and shows you the way to a healthy life.

It’s All About Lifestyle

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Thursday, September 15, 2011

Here’s an unsolicited testimonial from a reader who just completed the two years of my online wellness program: Completement Now!

She says:

“I just wanted to thank you for all the effort and thought you put into your health modules. It has been a big blessing to me and I’m going back through them all now with a journal book, taking notes and seeing where I am with each one.

Some have been hard for me, like not washing my meal down with water. Many things have helped me right away like darkening my bedroom for better sleep.

I am going through some withdrawal without the weekly input but that’s why I’m keeping my notebooks around me constantly and going back through the info. I did put every page in a plastic protector sheet. Since I can’t sit at the computer long, it has really helped me to have them handy.

Here is a picture of them against the carpet I put in my bedroom last year at the exact same time as your module on carpets… I still say you spied on me….Ho’ponopono nothwithstanding! LOL. That was too funny.

Thanks again for all that you do.”

Since she loved it so much, I signed her up to repeat the whole series (for free) so she could keep enjoying the benefits.

Beneficial Mucus Elimination (BME) Weight Loss Cure!

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Earlier this year I videotaped a series of critiques on various “diet cures.” Mostly I dissed them all and promoted a balanced diet along with exercise and lifestyle changes. You can see the series at HowCast.com.

However, my recent brush with a cold left me on a minimal diet with the result of losing a few pounds. So I’ll share it with you as the BME Weight Loss Cure!

Here’s what I’m presently eating and drinking.

a. 1-2 shakes of protein powder (Calories 60) (and green powder (Calories 40) (from Tropical Traditions).
b. 1 nectarine: Calories 50
c. 2 oranges: Calories 110
d. Hot Lemonade (AKA The Master Cleanser): 1 quart water, 4 TBSP concentrated lemon juice, 1 TBSP maple syrup, pinch of cayenne, pinch of ginger. Calories: 60
e. 1 quart Costco organic chicken broth seasoned with Spike and cayenne and 1/8th cup chicken. I began drinking this after about 4pm. Calories: 30
f. Popcorn, from organic corn, popped in coconut oil, with added seasalt (no butter). Every 2-3 days. Calories not counted.

Total Calories: 350

Of course it helped to have no appetite as I was exuding gobs of mucus. However, I feel fine on it and am losing a half to a full pound a day. I think it’s a great detox to do if you don’t feel well.

Media: On my recent radio show about magnesium on Magnificent Menopause a question about Vitamin K2 helping to grow bones came up. I said if you eat lots of greens you get your Vitamin K. But the whole story is that Vit K1 comes from greens and is broken down in your gut by beneficial bacteria to Vit K2. But, in order for that to happen, you have to have those beneficial bacteria. To ensure a good supply of beneficial bacteria, I recommend the probiotic, Prescript Assist. It’s so powerful you only have to take one or two per week. You can also get Vit K2 from natto, cheese and curds or pills. But why buy pills when you can just improve your gut and let your body do what comes naturally.

Drugs versus Magnesium

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Saturday, September 10, 2011

Two things caught my attention recently and I just had to pass them along. A reader reminded me that many types of aspirin are buffered with magnesium, which some researchers say may be the actual reason why aspirin helps treat heart disease! Ain’t that a kicker!

So, a wise person might ask, why not just take magnesium if that’s what’s doing all the work anyway? But do your own research before you stop your drugs. Google buffered aspirin and magnesium and see what comes up.

The second thing was the FDA approving botox injections into your face and head for migraines! Compare this painful multi-thousand dollar approach with taking magnesium along with some feverfew and B6 for natural relief. I talk about magnesium for migraines in The Magnesium Miracle.

Migraines can also indicate a toxic overload, for which I recommend clay and magnesium baths. This past week I experienced a “beneficial mucus elimination” AKA-a bad cold. Every day for a week I did a clay and magnesium bath and I noticed that by the end of the week the clay at the bottom of the bath was no longer black but the original grey color. I have no lab tests to prove it but I’m sure it’s an indication that I had less toxins by the end of the week! I recommend LL’s Magnetic Clay and Magnesium Flakes.

Media: Last week on Sept. 8, 2011 I was a guest on the Magnificent Menopause radio show that you can listen to right here. Yes, we did focus on magnesium!

I also presented at Kathi Casey’s “Ultimate Back Care Summit – Natural Healing with 7 Masters”. My seminar was Tuesday Sept 6, 2011 but you can still access the archives. And you can continue with the rest of the series. You can also sign up for a very special offer of my online wellness program.

Eat Dirt, It’s Organic!

Carolyn Dean MD ND | Wednesday, September 7, 2011

The handsome reader (his words) who sent me the note about longevity being a benefit of getting your hands dirty in your garden just forwarded me an article about soil bacteria as a possible cure for cancer. Which gives us even more reason to use soil-based probiotics, bathe in clay and eat dirt.

As a new twist on the sarcastic phrase “Eat dirt, it’s organic!” I have tried a product called Edible Earth but find that it has so much magnesium, it gives me a laxative effect! So I only use it when I’m fasting because it’s designed for detoxification and to revitalize the entire GI tract. It’s also a great way to get all the known minerals. Most people can take it every morning an hour away from meals either alone or along with psyllium seed for bulk.

What does it do? According to LL’s, Edible Earth:

*Soothes and Purifies the Digestive Tract
*Remineralizes Cells and Tissues
*Promotes Bacterial Balance in the Colon
*Assists in Heavy Metal and Chemical Detoxification
*Augments Digestive Efficiency
*Supports Nutrient Assimilation in the Gut
*Alkalizes the Body

I get my soil-based Prescript Assist, Magnetic Clay and Edible Earth from LL’s Magnetic Clay.

Seminar Notice: It’s not too late to join Kathi Casey’s “Ultimate Back Care Summit – Natural Healing with 7 Masters”. My seminar was yesterday, Tuesday Sept 6, 2011 but you can still access the archives for another 24 hours. And you can continue with the rest of the series with the next seminar on Thursday, Sept 8. Also you can sign up for a very special offer of my online wellness program.

For you regular readers of my blog who’ve been sitting on the fence, you can sign up for Kathi’s Teleseminar. Then you can click on my Special Offer and receive Completement Now! for only $97.00 instead of $240.00. The two-year series normally costs $10.00 a month for 24 months. But for a short time only and for a limited number of new members, with Kathi’s offer, you get all 104 modules for less than a dollar apiece! It’s an incredible deal for a life-changing product.
