HCG Weight Loss Tip of the Day #9

As Einstein said, Our problems cannot be resolved in the same state of consciousness in which we've created them.
Remember while changing your weight, change your mind too. Changing habits is best begun by becoming aware.

If you used to eat in front of the TV, stop doing that. Start being a conscious eater. Start working on changes that will stay with you the rest of your life. Start working on changes that will keep you healthy and lean the rest of your life. Awareness of what you are doing is a big part of making the changes necessary. Your old habits didn't work. Make new habits that do. Experiment in being conscious. You'd me amazed in how much you do that you don't think about - it is just a bad habit waiting to wake up and be recognized so it can be changed.

HCG Weight Loss Tip of the Day #8

You are losing fat so quickly that your muscles may be a little weak. Nothing to be concerned about as it is just the fat that has disappeared that was interlaced with muscle tissue. It is being burned up so quickly that your muscle needs time to adjust back to its normal size. When you have lost that 3rd layer of fat, you will be amazed at how much better your muscles respond and work for you.

Detox, Detox, Detox and then .... Don't let another year go by

Don't let another year go by not knowing that you have options and acting on them.  The old saying "without your health, you have nothing" is so true.  See what Elly had to say about New Medicine. 

"My amazing journey through the detox program. What can I say, my life is now better than ever! My energy levels have sky rocketed, I don’t need naps, and I love the way I look. Dr. Edward and Dr. Julie are two truly amazing people. I started this program 2 days before Thanksgiving only because I mentioned wanting to lose 5lbs. If you knew what I used to eat before, you would be shocked that I could even make this change!

Monday, January 04, 2010 was my last day on the program and I lost a total of 21lbs. In size, I have lost inches in places I never knew I had any to lose. Everyone should take part in this journey of health. People tend to ignore the major issues going on in their bodies & remedy it with prescription medication – this is NOT the answer. One change in diet and hcG detox will cure most forever.

I hope that through my experiences, it will convince others not to keep putting this program off. It works, and I feel great! I’m looking forward to my new healthy lifestyle." Elly S

There is more to great health than just weight loss.   Find out more.  You too can be just like Elly ... visit New Medicine Foundation today and listen to some of what Dr. Edward W. Pearson is talking about and teaching.  If there is any thing that I can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to contact me. That is what I am here for.

Get A New Career and Job and Get Healthy All at the Same Time

This is a response to a letter I got - the sender was asking if there was anything they could do to get healthy and also become part of the movement and revolution that Dr. Edward W. Pearson is heading up.  This person has listened to his lectures and is in agreement and is currently unemployed.  This person was wondering if there was a way to work out a discount so they could get healthy and start a new business at the same time.  Thought I'd share what I told this person.  There is an important message here. 

I totally understand where you are coming from. I’m right where you are actually and had to make some hard decisions myself.

I don’t have health insurance either. I’ve been unemployed for a year although my unemployment was by choice because I could no longer live with myself knowing what I know about health care in America today. My daughter’s health at the age of 19 is the direct result of the sickness that has permeated our country in terms of greed. I had to jump in and become an example for her so that she could turn her life around from a nutritional standpoint and get on a path to health and wellness. I knew if I didn’t do something, not only would my health continue to go downhill myself – although be it slowly – she would be dying long before I would and that for me as a mom, is not an option. Not when the death would be the result of profiteers peddling bad food and medicine for the sake of a dollar in their pocket and big corporate profits.

So what I did was get a credit card with zero % interest for a year and I have used that as my source of paying for my health. That investment not only got me healthy and feeling like I am in my 20’s again, it also showed my daughter what great health entails and she is now on the path to getting healthy herself. For me, that is priceless and worth the effort it took for me to make this happen.

Aside from that benefit, I was also able to become a health style counselor for the New Medicine Foundation with direct ties to Dr. Pearson and his mission. I am now able to have income from something that I am passionate about. I am now able to help not just me and my family, but friends and strangers alike. It isn’t hard either. I just tell them my story about how I feel now that I am educated and healthy and I tell them how I got there. New Medicine provides everything for counselors to get started too; business cards, your own website, training, support. There is nothing out there in America today that compares to the opportunity that is being offered by Dr. Pearson. He is even waiving the counselor fees which pay for the cost of the cards and the website for a limited time in an effort to help people get started. We have to begin somewhere – he realized that and is working tirelessly to help us, help him, help humanity.

So I am sorry I don’t have better news for you. We would love to help in monetary ways but New Medicine also has expenses to pay and if we do it for one, we need to do it for everyone. The fees involved here, compared to what other medical modalities charge for inferior services, are cheap. People will spend more on car payments, insurance premiums, vacations and parties than they will on their health. This is the shift that needs to take place. We must make our health the number one priority in our lives. Without that, everything else is pointless.

I hope you understand where I am coming from and can find a way to come on board. We would love to have you as a counselor but more importantly, we would love to see you, yourself, get healthy and on track to living a balanced, disease and drug free life. After all, as they say, you have nothing if you don’t have your health.

If there is any thing that I can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to contact me. That is what I am here for.

Abundant happiness and great health always,

Here is a great short story to remind you that every situation has a purpose ... Carpe diem - aka - Seize the day!  Love to all, Donna

The Obstacle in Our Path ---- In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway.  Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.  Some of the King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.  Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables.  Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road.  After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand!  Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

IDKT-The Truth About Cholesterol

Get educated and save your life or the life of a loved one. This information was delivered in a recent conversation I had with the brilliant Edward W Pearson, MD, ABIHM. We were discussing the truth about cholesterol and statin drugs.
The Doctor explained the following which makes perfect sense to me:

1. There is really no 'bad' natural chemical in the body, therefore no "bad" cholesterol.

2. We become imbalanced and toxic with unnatural chemicals found in drugs, our food and water supply, etc.

3. High LDL / low HDL is a 'bad' ratio of natural compounds brought about by toxins and imbalances.

4. Cholesterol drugs do ONE thing, they artificially STOP / BLOCK the liver's enzyme and ability to create the LDL. This is an unnatural process.

5. LDL is being created as a natural response to stress / oxidation signals to the liver.

6. Simply stopping the production of LDL does nothing, and actually makes the body more sick.

7. The drugs are toxic, the liver is blocked and damaged (thus high liver enzymes), and the true causes of the high LDL, the stressors causing the signals, are ignored and even worsened.

8. Plaques in our arteries are actually like scabs and are made up of several compounds that are naturally there, responding to the problem in the "sick" arteries in the first place. The placque that is present is actually made up of white blood cells which are our key immune cells, platelets that help us to stop bleeding, LDL cholesterol which is an antioxident, along with a few other substances.

9. Antioxidants help prevent and/or repair damage to body cells.

10. By severely limiting the production of cholesterol the plaque can be a bit smaller, but the artery is still sick and now a host of other problems and side effects occur. If the same was attempted by reducing white blood cells or platelets, the side effects would be lethal.

OMG this makes no sense to me at all. Why would you stop the production of cholesterol if its function as an antioxidant is to slow or prevent the oxidative damage caused by substances called free radicals (these are the bad guy cells). I won't get into explaining free radicals other than to tell you antioxidants help to combat them. I'll save free radicals for another discussion. Seems to me that we need to find out what is causing the elevated cholesterol in the first place. Stopping its production is insane. As I see it, it is only causing further damage and leading to problems like heart disease, diabetes, immune issues, infections, and cancers.

Want to listen to the doctor speak further on the subject? Click here -
Cholesterol - Evil Nemesis Or Important Biomarker

As Dr. Edward pointed out, when the stressors are removed, which is what the New Medicine Foundation is able to facilitate, toxins are removed, deficiencies are restored and natural balance returns to the body. Amazing what a little detox, natural compound replacement and a ton of education can do in a matter of weeks.

And as Dr. Edward further stated, "to think, big Pharma recently killed numerous patients in a study to create a drug to raise HDL". With his expertise and guidance, LDL typically drops dramatically as a side effect, upwards of 50-60 points or more in a few short weeks while treatment significantly raises HDL naturally, something big pharma has yet to discover and can only boast death as the result of trying to find the answer.

Truly a BILLION people in the world have high 'LDL' cholesterol and blood pressure issues. These are very obvious body stress markers and lets face it, we are stressed in more ways than we can imagine. New Medicine Foundation has the answer with their three-pronged approach to health and wellness. They back their findings with very comprehensive scientific evidence and it's easy when you remove the toxins, balance hormones and get proper nutrition.

When will the insanity stop? It is my guess it will stop when we start to question and use logic as a guide when it comes to our health. When we realize and accept that our health shouldn't be used to keep the world economy afloat and the fat cats fat, maybe then the change that is needed will befall all of us. I am not a doctor, nor a rocket scientist but I tell you once you venture down this path, you don't need to be. As Dr. Pearson says "this is not rocket science". I assure you, if I can understand it, so can you.

Until the change happens, be thankful for people like me, Dr. Edward W. Pearson, the New Medicine Foundation and A Voice For Change. We are on the front lines helping to bring this information and education to the masses. To find out more, email Donna or visit the New Medicine Foundation website.

IDKT - Vitamin D More Facts and Stats

The facts on Vitamin D continue to come in. Here are some more "I didn't know that" facts and stats:

* Vitamin D is really a hormone.

* 3 out of 4 Americans are deficient in Vitamin D

* Heart disease, hypertension, cancer, TB, diabetes type 1 and 2, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle weakness, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, misco joint pain, the flu, and obesity are all being linked to vitamin D deficiency, as are asthma, allergies and autoimmune syndromes.

* Research is finding that a vitamin D deficiency can worsen the conditions of many cancers and may even be responsible for turning on the cancer process in the human body.

* Vitamin D may be a partial culprit in depression because it stimulates the production of serotonin.

* Vitamin D has been found to improve insulin sensitivity.

* Vitamin D has been found to help fat cells burn more calories.

* Vitamin D deficiency is extremely important to avoid in pregnant women. Studies have shown that children born to vitamin D deficient moms face an approx 40% increased risk of developing asthma and allergies before they turn 5.

* Studies have also show that low levels of vitamin D in utero can cause the fetus to develop weaker immune systems and lungs!

* The current RDI for Vitamin D is 200 to 600 iu's daily. Vitamin D experts from Europe and the US pleaded with government agencies to up their official recommendation to 2,000 iu's daily but fear that even that amount won't combat an already out of control deficiency.

* Vitamin D can be tested through the blood via a test called the 25 OH test. If your doctor orders the 1,25 OH test instead, tell him you want the 25 test as the 1,25 test can give inaccurate results.

* Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D

* My level was just checked and came in at 85 ng/ml. From what I can assertain from others, the average high/normal range should be around 50 ng/ml

* I personally take 5,000 iu's of vitamin D daily and will continue to do so.

* My 19 year old is taking 10,000 iu's daily and is beginning to thrive again after being deficient and constantly sick. She is a teenage cave dweller and doesn't get out in the sun as much as she should so this will help her stay in the healthy range.

To learn more, you'll soon be able to visit my new site and find out about my affiliation with the New Medicine Foundation. Dr Edward Pearson is the leader in understanding hormones, all of them and not just the misunderstood few. He is an educator and a pioneer and is starting a "health care" revolution leading the way to keeping us out of the "sick care" environment of current day medicine and pharmaceutical drugs.

HCG DETOX / WEIGHT LOSS TOOLS FOR SUCCESS

If you are contemplating the use of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) for detoxification and weight loss, below is a list of tools that can prove very beneficial to your overall weight loss success!

* Body weight scale for weighing yourself daily.
* Tape measure for measuring hips, thighs, arms, etc.
* Food scale indicating ounces for weighing food portions.
* Large roll of plastic wrap for wrapping prepared food portions.
* Package of small stickers for labeling calories on food packages.
* Calculator to figure calories per item and total daily calorie intake.
* Large bowl for holding your daily food rations.
* Daily food intake sheet and weigh-in/weekly measurement sheet.
* Assortment of fresh organic meats, vegetables and fruit readily available.
* Good non-stick sauté pan for searing meat (no oils or fats allowed).

It is helpful to prepare several days worth of varying food choices ahead of time. Have produce and fruit wrapped, calorie labeled and ready to go in a drawer of your refrigerator. Individually wrap and calorie label meat, poultry and fish and keep individual packages ready in your freezer.

Purchase organic when possible. Buy Australian beef or grass fed American beef to be assured of the leanest meat possible. Remember that the object of the hCG protocol during weight loss mode is to avoid all fat, as any fat in the diet will produce negative results because the hCG will go after that fat instead of the stored fat. It is best to limit beef consumption to one time per week.

You will most likely have to shop two times a week to assure you always have a fresh supply of pre-weighed, pre-wrapped fresh foods available. A list of permitted foods is shown in my book, The How to Book for HCG Weight Loss.

Keep a food bowl for your daily portions. If you have enough food wrapped and ready on a daily basis, it will make the process easier.

The other thing I suggest is not to share what you are doing with others. It will most assuredly be met with negativity. When individuals hear that you are only eating 500 calories a day, they are sure that it will just be a matter of time before you fail and gain the weight back. They are not educated and therefore are of no help to you in your efforts to lose weight.

Vitamin D3 – Know the Facts

I didn't know that (IDKT) Vitamin D3 has natural immune-boosting qualities that could reduce swine flu fatalities. The powers that be have scared the public into obsessive usage of chemically-ladened sunscreen to the point that it is causing vitamin D3 deficiencies in record numbers.
Did you know that

1. Dark skinned people require 10 times more sun exposure to make adequate amounts of D3.

2. A 70 old makes a quarter of the D3 that a 20 year old can make.

3. In higher latitude areas (Atlanta GA and North), even fair-skinned people won’t produce adequate amounts of D3 in the fall and winter months.

4. At times when it is completely cloudy, UV energy is cut in half.

5. Shade reduces UV energy by 60%.

6. If you are young, fair skinned, wearing minimal clothing and live near the equator, spending 20 minutes in peak sunshine would produce approximately 25,000 IUs of D3.

7. Your skin consists of immune cells and when these cells are exposed to sunshine, they convert inactive D3 into active D3.

8. Vitamin D3 is the only vitamin that the body can manufacturer from sunlight (UVB).

9. Vitamin D3 is necessary for bone health and deficiencies are being linked to depression, back pain, cancer, immunity issues as well as macular degeneration.

So now the question to ask is how much D3 is too much. To that I say, get your levels checked. From the research I did, even people consuming 2,000 to 4,000 IUs per day had test levels that were inadequate. I’ve discovered people taking 8,000 plus IUs a day just to achieve optimum blood levels.

Get your 1.25-dihyroxy D3 levels checked. It has been reported that a small group of people that supplemented with D3 had excessively elevated levels of calcium. This was particularly true in the African American population so why you are getting tested, make sure they include checking your calcium blood levels at the same time. It just makes good sense as part of your yearly healthy checkup.

I know there is a lot of controversy about vitamin D3. I for one take 5,000 IUs a day and have for over a year now. I for one get yearly hormone panels, adrenal and cortizol panels and a complete extensive blood panel done and have it reviewed by my physician. I’ll be 57 soon. I feel better now and look better than I have in years and I’m drug and disease free. Big Pharma won’t be taking any money from my bank account.

Now you know (NYK)! Pass it along and be A VOICE FOR CHANGE.

HCG Weight Loss Tip of the Day - #4

Make sure you keep your frig stocked so you never have to scramble for what you will eat. The easiest way to stay on the protocol and lose that weight effortlessly, is to always be prepared. Be a good scout ..... shop, weigh, wrap and prepare your food bowl for the next day, the night before.Wake in the morning and don't think about what you will eat. All you need do is grab and run.

Hint ....have a little toaster oven... use it to broil your protein - only takes a minute or two. I always have my meat presliced so when I'm done broiling - I broil on a piece of aluminum foil - I use the same foil to wrap my protein and then wrap that package additionally in a piece of plastic wrap. I grab my prepackaged veggie and my fruit and I'm good to go until dinner time. When I'm at work and I get hungry, my food is precooked and ready to eat at a moments notice.

HCG Weight Loss Tip of the Day - #6

If you eat steak every day, your weight loss will not be as significant. Make sure you switch that protein selection around. Lower calorie protein will allow you to eat a bit more vegetable, from a calorie standpoint. American beef is very high in fat content. If you do eat beef, make sure it is lean, organic grass fed beef if possible.

HCG Weight Loss Tip of the Day - #2

Using sublingual hCG? This tip works in the morning before you get up as well as in the evening just before you go to bed.

Set your alarm 15 minutes early and start your day by squirting your HCG and laying in bed while it goes to work. Lay there and meditate and/or visual the beautiful day that you are about to begin. Visualize the fat leaving your body; your cells detoxing. This should become a daily habit. Then get up and weigh in and record your weight.

Repeat this practice just before going to bed. Spray and immediately upon retiring for the evening. Turn out the lights and lay there while the hCG penetrates the area under your tongue and immediately enters your system. Again, visualize your cells detoxing. Give thanks for the healthy opportunity you have been given. Give thanks for your ability to stick with the program and get healthy.

HCG Weight Loss Tip of the Day - #3

If you didn't pick your food for the day the night before, do it in the morning.

The easiest thing to do is put your daily 500 calories of food into a food bowl that you store in the refrigerator. Then all you need to do is grab and go.

IDKT - Big Pharma and the Vitamin Takeover Revolution In Full Swing

NUTRIENT UPDATE - WE MUST CLAIM OR RIGHT TO CHOICE.

When I think of July, I think of Independence Day. We are coming close to losing our Independence and freedom of choice at the vitamin counter. If we don’t get our heads out of the sand quickly and unite as a unified voice and force, we may lose our right to freedom of choice over the natural and non-patentable substances that we have come to rely on today

I didn't know that (IDKT) .... the pharmaceutical industry supplies approximately 50% of the annual operating budget of the FDA? OMG, this is big. We have the wolf guarding the hen house. Who keeps the wolf in check?

The pharmaceutical industry has been experiencing a financial loss of revenue, comparatively speaking that is. Assets are declining due to the expiration of patents on various drugs. The doors are now open for other companies to produce low-cost generic substitutes meaning they are up against competition and or further declining profits. As they began to look at alternatives to protect their revenues, they discovered the competition posed by dietary supplements which are cheap in comparison to the cost of drugs. In doing so, the rumors began to circulate and a lot of misinformation began to hit the marketplace. Case studies are being altered and the rumor mill is filled with lies and deceit.

The wolf is loose and running amuck. We need to protect the hens before there are none left.

Here is a link to start the flow of information into your brain. Read it, absorb it and then take action in any way you can.

I need your help!

Action Alert on the Senate Food Safety Bill

ANH–USA has opposed the so-called Food Safety Bill as a threat to natural health and health freedom. As we reported to you in April, we have been working to improve the Senate’s version of the Food Safety bill. In particular, we succeeded in preventing language that would have committed the US to harmonization of food standards with the rest of the world under a completely flawed process known as CODEX. Now we need your help to promote two excellent amendments to the bill that would exempt small food producers and producers who sell their food directly to market (such as farmers’ markets) from new regulation.

Food Democracy & Fight Big Food





Summer is here and many have lost the weight this past spring and are enjoying their healthy bodies and healthy lifestyles. Now that the stored fat is gone and their bodies are sculpted naturally (no more cellulite), there is no turning back. My clients understand the importance of fresh, good quality, proteins, vegetables and fruits. Processed foods are becoming a thing of the past as they further realize how detrimental they are to their overall health. Spending more at the grocery store than they spend on medical treatment is coming back in vogue! Finally. Now we need to keep it that way. Our food supply is being taken over by corporate America. We need to support the efforts of those that understand the importance of an untainted food supply. I hope you are supporting your local farmers and I further hope you will support American farmers all over the United States. This 4th of July, make a pledge to stand up for our Independence and let your voices be heard.


The summer growing season is in full bloom – literally. This is the time of year when we begin to reap what we grow. I have two movements that I am backing and I am asking that you will back these causes with me. As Americans, we must speak up about what is important to us. I can’t think of anything more important than protecting our food supply. Please help me help us, all of us!


#1 Food Democracy Now!, is a grassroots community dedicated to creating a food system that nourishes families, sustains farmers, and protects our natural environment. FDN organizes its members through online campaigns and in-person actions on issues like organics, GMOs, food labeling, support for farmers, and many others.


Food Democracy


#2 Fight Big Food is dedicated to assisting our farmers all over America. Today family farmers face some of the worst times since the Great Depression. For years poultry growers have suffered under unfair contracts and unlivable wages, which has increasingly gotten worse over the past several decades due to increased concentration and lax enforcement of existing laws, such as the Packers and Stockyards Act. These joint Department of Justice/USDA hearings are an opportunity for justice, but farmers are being silenced by corporate agribusiness who doesn't want the DOJ to hear their story. They need your voice today. Please stand with them!

Tell FDA to Ban Arsenic in Animal Feed!


I just took action on this important FDA and health issue. I urge you to take action yourself and spread the word! Thank you for helping me be A VOICE FOR CHANGE. Love Donna

Tell FDA to Ban Arsenic in Animal Feed!
The chickens you buy at the grocery store are given feed with arsenic added to make them gain weight faster. Yes, arsenic—the deadly poison and carcinogen. A petition has been filed with the FDA to remove arsenic from animal feed, and today is the last day for public comment. We are asking you to take action on this important petition IMMEDIATELY!

The chickens you buy at the grocery store are given feed with arsenic added to make them gain weight faster. Yes, arsenic—the deadly poison and carcinogen. A petition has been filed with the FDA to remove arsenic from animal feed, and tomorrow is the last day for public comment. We are asking you to take action on this important petition IMMEDIATELY!

Arsenic-containing compounds are most widely used in chicken production, and most chickens receive arsenic–“fortified” feed. Most arsenic-containing animal feed additives are not used to treat sickness. Instead, these additives are commonly used in poultry production to induce faster weight gain and give the meat a healthy-looking color; the same techniques are used to a lesser extent in turkeys and hogs.

Last December, the Center for Food Safety and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration calling for the immediate withdrawal of approvals for arsenic-containing compounds used in animal feed. The petition was supported by a coalition of food and farm groups around the country.

Arsenic is powerful carcinogen. The government knows this; they state openly that “the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that inorganic arsenic is carcinogenic to humans.” And it is now well known that these feed additives lead to arsenic residue both in conventionally raised chickens—that is, chickens sold in supermarkets and restaurants across the country—and in the environment, putting our health at risk.

A public comment period on the petition before the FDA is now open—but it ends tomorrow, June 16. PLEASE TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY. Today is the last day to make comment!

Produce Water Out Of Thin Air

I didn't know that (IDKT)....there is a water system currently on the market that extracts water from the humidity within the atmosphere and makes it available for drinking, cooking, etc. There are larger units available too so that you can actually have your entire home or business hooked up to this incredible machine and bypass the use of any city or local water supply. It works by drawing air through an air filter and over a condenser that creates water droplets. The water droplets pass through the reverse osmosis process and multistage filtration system, and is then stored in the cold and hot tank. The water is regularly re-circulated through UV filters, ensuring pure, fresh water at all times. It is amazing, affordable, doesn’t require anyone to “set it up” as in plumbing, etc; you just plug it in and it starts working immediately. Wow, mineralized and alkalized pure water for pennies on the dollar. Check it out today, visit http://www.avoiceforchange.com/water.html

Weight Loss Tips, Hints and Inspiration

“Donna, My gratitude to you has no limit. I know that with your help I will achieve my final goal when I start the protocol again. I had tried so many diet programs for years and had no success. I was suffering from depression because of my weight problem. I just want you to know you have saved me from many future health problems. On my first protocol, I lost a total of 30 pounds in 40 days. I lost 5.5 inches from my waist. I look great even when I have to lose another 15 pounds. I feel very healthy and energetic. Thank you for your beautiful emails and support. All your effort to help me will be greatly appreciated forever.” —JC, Bellingham, WA

Preserve Fresh Fruits and Vegetables with Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide

I didn't know that (IDKT) .... food grade hydrogen peroxide is a wonderful disinfecting agent that can be used to prolong the life of fruits and vegetables and kill off harmful microorganisms that may have come in contact with those foods. Even some food packers are beginning to switch to the use of hydrogen peroxide, thereby eliminating the use of toxic chlorine. I found that using a solution of 1/8 of a cup of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide to a gallon of distilled water (transfer a smaller supply to a spray bottle for ease in use and store the remainder in a cool dark place), helps to eliminate the microorganisms. Just spray a little on your produce, shake off the excess and store the produce in appropriate containers in your refrigerator. Be careful not to re-contaminate the item once it is sprayed which can easily happen through human handling. You may want to consider wearing gloves. Taking this extra step when you bring fresh produce home from the market, is a great way to preserve freshness and overall shelf life.

I personally use food grade hydrogen peroxide. For more details on this procedure or to purchase 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide, contact donna@avoiceforchange.com.

Fight Toe Nail Fungus Using Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinegar - UPDATED


IDTK (I didn't know that) .... Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar could actually rid a toe nail of fungus.  I was not convinced but I was certainly willing to give it a try.  I figure I had everything to gain and nothing to lose so it was worth a shot. 

My quest started when I read an article written by Judy Stouffer, B.S., M.S., SFO and Michael Stouffer, B.S., SFO.  Actually Judy and Michael documented the procedure in an effort to combat their own outbreak of toe nail fungus.  They did it with great success.  I figured if it worked for them, it could work for me and then I would share the knowledge with my following.  

The recipe for success involves the use of 5% vinegar and 2% hydrogen peroxide.  You’ll need to dilute 3% hydrogen peroxide to a 2% solution by adding distilled water.  This will make the solution slightly less caustic on the exposed skin.  On day one, soak your toes in the vinegar solution for approximately 5 minute.  On day two, do the same thing but use the hydrogen peroxide solution instead.  Alternate days and continue this practice for three (3) weeks.  Keep alternating back and forth; one day vinegar and the next hydrogen peroxide.  WARNING:  never mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar together, as that forms peracetic acid, a caustic chemical with entirely different properties.

What the Stouffer’s found after three weeks, was that there was new healthy nail growth beginning to show up at the base of the toe nail.  After approximately seven months, healthy nail continued to grow from the base of the nail.  Remember they only did the soak for three weeks.  It seems as though the healing continued long after the treatment ended.  Approximately 15 months later, the entire toenail and nail bed were healthy and free of any signs of fungal infection.   More than 4 years later, the toe nail remains free of any signs of fungus. 

My outcome was a bit different.  I found that there was substantial improvement after three weeks which prompted me to want to continue, but in a different way.  I took two small spray bottles and labeled one vinegar and the other peroxide.  At night before I went to bed, I would spray my nails in the same fashion, one night spraying with the same vinegar solution I used for the soak and the next night spraying with the same peroxide solution.  Soaking my toes every night was just too daunting a task beyond the three week window so this has proven to be an excellent alternative.  I also increased the strength of the peroxide to 3%.  I had no adverse reaction to doing this.  The peroxide didn't bother my skin at all. 

My fungus has been with me for more than 40 years so it is taking longer but the improvement is undeniably remarkable.  I use a file to take the top layer of nail from my nail bed; just a light dusting with a nail file does the trick and seems to help the condition of the nail overall.  If you are wondering what type of file, it is an electric device similar to what they use in nail salons.  The fine tip file allows me to get to the entire nail. 

I feel like I’ve stumbled on the long lost solution to a common problem and I’m thrilled.  I still continue to spray to this day.  I just look at it as part of my daily grooming regimen.

Rid Produce of Pesticides and Sanitize Food Prep Surfaces on the Cheap


I didn't know that (IDKT) .... hydrogen peroxide and vinegar were great products useful for removing pesticides, micro organisms, fungi, dust and bacteria from fruits and vegetables. Both products are also excellent for use in sanitizing counter tops and wooden cutting surfaces as well. These products are natural and inexpensive and are not toxic to our environment. The procedure I found, was developed by Susan Sumner, a food scientist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Her disinfecting procedure uses white vinegar (or cider vinegar) and 3 percent hydrogen peroxide.

• Put the vinegar and hydrogen peroxide into individual dark-colored spray bottles. Do not mix them in the same bottle**. They must be kept separate.

• Spray your produce or work surface thoroughly first with vinegar, followed by hydrogen peroxide or vice versa.

• Let it set for a bit and then rinse the produce under running water or wipe the treated surface with a clean wet cloth.

It doesn’t matter if you spray the vinegar first or second, as long as they are sprayed one after the other. Once the produce is rinsed, you won’t have any lingering taste of vinegar or peroxide and neither is toxic so there is no need to worry if a little residual is left behind. Ms. Sumner found that the paired sprays work exceptionally well at killing E. coli bacteria, Salmonella and Shigella on heavily contaminated food and surfaces, provided they were used together. These products, when used one right after the other, were actually more effective at killing these lethal bacteria than chlorine bleach or any commercially available kitchen cleaning product.

** It is important to note that hydrogen peroxide and vinegar should never be mixed together in one container. This combination creates peracetic acid which is a caustic chemical with entirely different properties, which in this case are harmful. Peracetic acid has entirely different characteristics and would not produce the same results that hydrogen peroxide and vinegar produce when used individually in the fashion explained above.

I personally use food grade hydrogen peroxide. For more details on this procedure or to purchase 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide, contact donna@avoiceforchange.com.

For further information on Dr. Sumner's original research work, reference her articles that appeared in the scientific news journal, "Science News," published on August 29, 1996, and August 8, 1998.

Iodine - the most misunderstood nutrient

I didn't know that (IDKT) .... there was any therapeutic value of supplementing with iodine until I read in Suzy Cohen's book "The 24 Hour Pharmacist" that the cause of her "dry eye" was the result of an iodine deficiency. I ran to my local health food store and purchased some kelp and started adding 10 drops to my water a couple times a day. I was amazed that within a couple of days, I was no longer waking up in the middle of the night to put drops in my dry eyes. In fact, I don't use eye drops at all anymore.

And add to that, I no longer supplement with a pharmaceutical drug for my underactive thyroid condition. My thyroid is now functioning just fine.
