ELIMINATION PROVOCATION
A strict elimination diet is the most
powerful tool in medicine that can be
applied to almost any medical
condition.

The Stomach
Tylenol ®
In 1967, my pharmacology
professor told us that “acetaminophen
was too harmful to the liver & kidney
to ever be put on the market.”

Indole–3–carbinol (I-3-C)
 Proliferative estrogens implicated in head & neck
cancers, breast, prostate, uterine, colon & cervical
cancers.
 Hydroxylation pathway largely determines
proliferative factor.
 I-3-C promotes benign pathway, as does flax,
kudzu & soy isoflavones.
 For cysts or lumps or breasts large with little
firmness. Binds similarly, but more benignly &
effectively than tamoxifen.
Iodine test
 Thyroid drives detoxification (digestion in
reverse).
 Infection, excessive mucus or dominance of
proliferative estrogens linked with iodine
insufficiency.
 Estrogen dominace diminishes thyroid
function.
 Paint on skin silver dollar size tincture
iodine. Best to have a smudge remaining
24hrs later. If disappears sooner than that,
take pills or apply iodine until stain partly
remains 24hrs.

Sauna
Sunlight - the ultimate detoxifier?
Russian experiments - animals exposed to correct doses
of sunlight could clear wide range of toxins faster than
animals reared without sun.
Toxins studied: quartz and coal dusts, toxic minerals
such as lead, cadmium and mercury, liver poisons
(carbon tetrachloride) & pesticide neurotoxins.
Sunlight speeded up clearance of body toxins to from
double to as much as twenty times.
Best effect was obtained when sunlight exposure had
started some time before toxin exposure.
Ascorbate Flush
Buffered ascorbate one teaspoonful (4gms)
dissolved in 2 - 4 oz water or juice.
Try one teaspoonful every 15 minutes or if
you are quite ill, two teaspoonfuls every 15
minutes.
Press on to enema-like evacuation of liquid.
Do not stop at loose stool.

Healing
Friendly commensal bacteria
 Bacteria normally reside in intestines.
 Produce peptides to stimulate immunity &
reduce inflammation, keeping our ‘guard up.’
 Antibiotics or aggressive cleanses destroy
both beneficial and disease-causing bacteria,
temporarily stopping production of these
immune-modulating peptides.
 Tummy too clean is extra susceptible to food
borne infections as Salmonella & E. coli.

SPEEDING HEALING
1. Arnica homeopathic for injury.
2. Vitamin C, 1000mg sustained release, twice.
3. Pancreatic and plant enzymes, large frequent
doses, best on empty stomach.
4. Colostrum extracts in small, frequent doses.
5. Placenta freeze-dried is richest natural source of
anabolic and repair hormones.
6. Melatonin 1.8mg timed release at bedtime.
7. Avoid high glycemic foods, especially late.
8. Soaked seeds (quality protein) early & greens.
9. Plentiful water, avoid distilled. Plump cells.
MELATONIN: ANTIOXIDANT PAR
EXCELLENCE
Russel Jaffe, PhD.
 Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is
superior & ubiquitously-acting free radical
scavenger & antioxidant.
 1) Melatonin directly detoxifies a variety of
oxygen & nitrogen-based ROS & non-radicals.
 2) Metabolites that are formed when melatonin
scavenges radicals are radical scavengers (thus,
this antioxidant cascade greatly increases efficacy
of melatonin as scavenger).
 3) Melatonin stimulates a number of antioxidative
enzymes including SOD, glutathione peroxidase &
catalase which rid the cell of toxic agents.
MELATONIN: ANTIOXIDANT PAR
EXCELLENCE
Russel Jaffe, PhD.
 4) Melatonin inhibits pro oxidative enzyme NOS.
 5) Melatonin stimulates production of another
important intracellular antioxidant, glutathione.
 6) Increases efficiency of mitochondrial electron
transport, likely reducing free radical generation.
 7) Stimulates ATP product which enhances the
ability of cells to repair free radical damage.
 8) Readily absorbed via any route enters all cells
and subcellular organelles
 9) No known pro oxidative activity unlike some
other classical antioxidants & now known to be
available in edible foods (tart cherries).
Mercury & other toxins can hurt you
on the way in or on the way out!
 Experience rashes, fatigue, lethargy, nausea,
irritability, anger or mood swings?
 Vit C, NAC, lipoic acid & greens chelate toxins.
 During detoxification of heavy metals & other
pollutants, one may experience pain as
pollutants are stirred up & moved about & out!
 Keep exits open: water & fiber & cod liver oil.
 Chlorella & other greens, Vitamin C, NAC &
lipoic acid are powerful heavy metal movers,
best to begin regime gradually over first few
days & build dosage. Keep up multiminerals!
Baths
 Salt base: 2/3 cup sea salt, 1/3 cup
Epson salt & 3 heaping tablespoons
baking soda – or just 2 cups Epson salt.
 Sodium bicarb absorbs toxins, so you
do not reabsorb. Helps balance pH.
 Add only 5-15 drops of essential oils,
(20 drops in larger tubs) - one drop of
essential oil has 40 thousand million
million million molecules.
Baths promote sweating &
help cleanse.
 Best way to really sweat is to run bath
water as hot as you can stand it.
Running bath while sitting in tub allows
better tolerance of hotter bath water.
 Carefully get out, wrap yourself quickly
in flannel sheet & then warm blanket.
Lie down & remain still. Sleep.
 Enormous sweating typically promoted.
 Wash off in shower after wrap, to limit
reabsorption of toxins. Drink water.
 Broken many fevers > bath / salt base,
5 drops bay laurel +7 drops lavender.
Live a long life
Polymeal includes wine, fish, dark chocolate, fruits,
vegetables, garlic & almonds.
All best consumed daily, except fish (limited due to
mercury to 2-4 X / week). www.vitalchoice.com
Drinking 150ml of wine daily reduces heart & artery
disease 32%. Eating fish 4X / week cuts risk 14%.
100gms dark chocolate daily day lowers blood
pressure (systolic 5 & diastolic 2), risk down 20%.
400gms fruits & vegetables does same job of
reducing blood pressure as dark chocolate, & both
garlic & almonds lower cholesterol.
Purslane (portulacca) rich in EFAs & is green.
