Whole Food Nutrition

It’s your front-line defense in dis-ease prevention!


It’s a no-brainer that consuming a diet rich in whole fruits and vegetables would be beneficial for optimal health and wellbeing.  Unfortunately, in today’s fast-paced society, people often find themselves making sub-optimal food choices.  What can be done to off-set that?

What if there was a natural organic whole foods supplement that could help to prevent nutrient deficiencies and promote vitality?

In an ideal world, no one would need to take supplements because we would get all the necessary nutrients from our diet.  Unfortunately, even people who eat all organic may be receiving sub-optimal levels of anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, amino acids, and other vital nutrients.  This is due to the pollution of the air and the soil, depletion of nutrients from soil due to long-term farming, and poor digestion/assimilation factors (which can be caused by the way the food was prepared or the way that it is eaten, stress, genetics, or sedentary lifestyle).  Other factors that lead to sub-optimal nutrition include pesticides, additives, preservatives, binders, fillers, food coloring, and other "natural" flavors and chemicals that are added to food and drinks that are not fit to be consumed but rather increase the shelf-life of the produce or product.

To compensate for the Standard American Diet’s (SAD) low level of nutritional value and other factors that compromise optimal nutrition, it is often necessary to supplement with various nutrients.  Depending on the person and his or her genetic predisposition, there are specific nutrients that are necessary to balance the body, undo the damage done (detoxification), and prevent further damage from reoccurring (anti-aging). 

Many of these essential nutrients can be found in natural supplements!

As a naturopathic doctor and mother, my daughter and I take liquid vitamins (better absorbed).  I like to think of it as my health insurance (of course I eat well and exercise too).

Placenta Encapsulation

Placenta Encapsulation = Natural Post-Partum Depression Prevention!

As a practitioner of holistic medicine, I take pride in practicing what I teach.  When I was pregnant with my first child at age 32, I went to one of the birth centers where my midwife practices.  There I was introduced to the idea of having a doula or birth coach present at my daughter’s birth in order to help me through the process. 

                                                   
                                           Watch my 5-minute story onYoutube

A doula is a mother’s helper in labor. Her job is to keep mothers calm and relaxed so that they can allow their bodies to do what it is made to do, which is giving birth the natural way. 

I figured I would need all the assistance that I could get since I was determined to have an all-natural drug-free birth.  That’s right, I chose to say “No” to the epidural.

My doula provided courses to all her clients throughout our pregnancies to teach us what to expect during the pregnancy and afterwards.  It was nice to have the group support and learn with other soon-to-be parents.

Although my naturopathic university has a midwifery program and I was exposed to natural births and naturopathic post-partum care, I had never heard of placenta encapsulation before.  My doula educated me on some of the benefits which include:

     •  Reintroducing the nutrients in the placenta back to the mother’s body
      •  Decreasing fatigue and mood swings
      •  Preventing loss of hair
      •  Producing more breast-milk
• Easing postpartum hormonal imbalances and fluctuations

Since I already had a tendency to experience PMS D (premenstrual depression) I wanted to do whatever I could (other than pharmaceuticals!) to prevent the dreaded post-partum depression.  When I learned that placentophagy could assist with that, I was thrilled about this practical solution which animals do in nature.

One of my holistic health practitioners told me that her husband grilled up her placenta like a steak and she ate a meal that was cooked with it.  That didn’t sound too appealing to me but my doula encapsulated my placenta and taking 2 capsules a day to keep the blues away seemed like a smart plan to me!

Certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialists:
  • Follow strict OSHA guidelines
  • Trained in Food Safety Handling
  • Knowledgeable in the benefits of placentophagy
  • Certified in the PBi method of placenta encapsulation
  • Experienced professionals
  • Answer your questions
  • Give full postpartum support
My doula was with me for the entire 18 hours of labor.  You know, it’s called labor for a reason!  We labored in the shower, in a small pool, and all over my apartment!  I had terrible back pain and my doula helped me through it with massage, hot water, a yoga ball, and reassuring words.  

After my home-birth to a healthy, happy, & drug-free 9 lb 6 oz baby girl, my doula stayed with me and washed my placenta of all the blood and cut it up in my kitchen.  She brought a special small oven that stayed at my house so I could be sure that the placenta that I ingested was my own and not one made in China!

The next day when the placenta was all dried up, she used the Magic Bullet to grind the pieces into powder.  Next she sat at my table and carefully encapsulated all the powder that was produced.  I think I had about 70 pills.

I kept the capsules in the freezer and took them daily.  I felt like they helped me to recover.

My only regret was that I did not save any for 13 months later when my daughter weaned herself from nursing.  I did experience some post-lactation blues but it was definitely manageable! 

In the event that I am so blessed to have another child, you can bet that I will be doing placenta encapsulation again and that I will save some for later too!

Cancer CURE!

CANCER SURVIVOR ISAAC MENDA SHARES HIS MIRACULOUS STORY

  
How he beat the odds and cured his cancer with natural medicine and without chemotherapy or radiation!
The following is a true interview between Dr. Ahuva Gamliel and her patient Isaac Menda.  He shares his inspirational survival story with the intention of enlightening others of the potential to do the same.

AG: When and how were you diagnosed with cancer?  

IM:  First, I had a biopsy done on a swollen lymph node, on January 5th 2009, which came back as malignant.  Then, I was referred to an Oncologist at Mount Sinai who had me take a CT Scan, PT Scan, and MRI on all my upper body between January 15th and January 22nd 2009.  On January 25th, this Oncologist summoned me and informed me what the results were. 

AG:  What type of cancer was it and what stage was it in?

IM:  It was "advance stage 3 or 4 non-contiguous indolent Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma - follicular small cell classification" which is basically Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that was spread out in 4 areas but whose malignant cells divided slower than my good cells.  

AG:  What were the treatment options and prognosis?

The well-intended oncologist, whose beside manners were above par, informed me that there was no clear treatment option for me and that it was not treatable given my circumstances.  He stated it was "incurable." 

The oncologist did not have a prognosis either.  He said some people succumb quickly while others are able to live for ten or more years.  I asked the doctor what he thought "caused my cancer to develop in the first place?"  He did not know and suggested not to ponder why I was struck with this.

His suggested treatment option of "watch and wait" was a blessing since after researching this option the "do nothing" treatment had proven to have higher survival rates than those doing chemotherapy for my particular diagnosis.  He suggested I take a CT scan every three months for the first year to monitor the situation.

I remember saying to him "I guess doc, we are going to have a long term relationship or one for the rest of my life."  Without dismissing this doc, I am thrilled I have no future appointments to see him.  In retrospect, his suggestion to "do nothing" saved my life by giving me the time and self-responsibility to look for alternative ways to cure myself which, unbeknownst to me at the time, did exist.

AG:  What did you do?  Where did you turn for help? 

IM:  During the first two days after meeting the doctor, I closed my office and business in order to focus exclusively on my definitive purpose in life which was to cure myself and regain my health so I could move on with all the other unfinished business of life.   During these first 48 hours, I receiving words of encouragement from my immediate family and Rabbi Chay Amar (who also immediately checked and corrected all my mezuzahs while he had me go in his mikvah).

Then, I went home and prayed to G-d.  I thanked Him in detail for the great and privileged life I had lived thus far, for my parents, for all the marvelous experiences available to me, and a few others.  Then, I simply stated and accepted the following understanding: if it was my time to go, I would accept it with dignity.  I recognized it had been an enjoyable life and I would therefore not complain nor whine since others had it much worst; that although I could accept if it was my time, to consider the undeserved pain my parents would undergo to experience their son dying and implored to save them from this experience.

But, if it was not my time to go, I prayed to please help me find the way and method to heal. So I committed to place all my effort to regain my health and live with the most gusto as possible as if I had one year to live.  I booked future travel arrangements to see mountains in Israel twice, Costa Rica, Switzerland, and Austria, all within months.  So, with this newfound mental equanimity, I flipped open my laptop and logged on to internet and started navigating on the internet for books on Cancer.  I quickly purchased bought six or seven books on Amazon.  

After receiving the books from Amazon a few days later, I started reading.  Soon thereafter, I discovered one of the books in the mix, was a gem and held the key.  I discarded the other books and focused laser-like on "How to Cure Advance Stage Cancer" by Hulda Clark.  It was void of nonsense (well I had not eaten meat in 30 years, nor smoked ever, and exercised forever, so other books suggesting this road map this was not enough). Hulda Clark spoke directly about the cause of all cancers and the way to cure them.  I was floored and ecstatic when the second chapter spent, in detail, the cleaning of the mouth as the first step - meaning, all the metals (mercury fillings) and possible bacteria resulting from previous root canals performed in the mouth.  No other world famous doctor cancer author even came close to suggesting it all started in ones mouth, either what was implanted there or what went through the mouth.  This struck me as completely logical since the Torah states that you "will live or die by the tongue" and realized, if the almighty went through the detailed Kosher laws for our benefit, then I linked the mouth as our holiest physical space. So, trusting I had been divinely steered to Hulda Clark, I quickly started following her instructions to heal and bought her other two books: "The Cure for all Cancers" and "The Cure and Prevention for all Cancers."  She connected the dots unlike everyone else.  I sensed she was in the business of actually curing people for the sake of saving lives and not for economic gain.  

Although her books are complex and involved multiple steps, I started following her instructions and asking questions later.  In a nutshell, she stated something no other doctor or author ever stated.  

She said "You can get all your health back from any kind of cancer by removing unnatural chemicals via:1-Removing all unnatural chemicals from your mouth2-Removing all unnatural chemicals from your diet3-Removing all unnatural chemicals from your body4-Removing all unnatural chemicals from your home”

Although this is all there is to it and it sounds simplistic, every step involved serious lifestyle changes.  For example, the book states that in removing all the chemicals from the mouth, "finding the right dentist is your first and most important task.  The alternative dentists have been leading the movement to ban mercury from dental supplies.  Not only mercury, but all metal needs to be banned.  If your dentist will not follow the necessary procedures, then you must find one that will. Find the right dentist first, even if you must travel hundreds of miles."  

Low and behold, I had four mercury filling since I was a teenager (for 30 years) and I had had a root canal done haphazardly in Miami ten years ago that became infected with the bacteria "clostridium."  This toxic combination was seeping 24/7 for ten years into the rest of my body compromising my immune system without my awareness.  Cleaning my mouth took the entire first month.   After completing the dental work (only a handful of dentist in South Florida understood what Dr. Clark was saying), I proceeded to do Dr. Clark's 21 day Cancer Curing program.  At a cost of $2,000, I took about 200 vitamin and herb pills per day as described in her web for the 21 days.


 While I was doing this 21 day program, I started feeling much better, energized, stronger, and even told my parents I was certain I was curing myself.

Finally, on May 5th 2009, I went back to take those radioactive CT scans to diagnose the results. The results were unequivocal and unambiguous.  There was no detectable cancer activity in my lymph nodes and the four previous lymph node tumors could no longer be seen or found by the doctors.  

Recently, on December 13th 2009, I took what I expect to be my final CT Scan, and this one also had the same results as the one in May 5th. 

AG:  What were the most important lessons you learned from the experience? 

IM:  Take control of the things you actually have control over.  One does not really have control of the chemicals the government puts in our water, or toxic waste in far away factories, or what Obama decides to do about Iran, but you sure do have control of the toxic waste (E.P.A. claims it's toxic waste the minute it is out of your mouths) known as mercury fillings a few inches from your brain, inside your mouth.  Choose to drink water without chlorine or bad flouridation by having a water ionizer that eliminates these chemicals.  G-d has handed us many cleansers such as oregano oil.  Follow natural healers first, and if you find an MD who believes in natural healing first, start a doctor-patient relationship with such a doctor.

Recently, I encountered a dentist at the Waterways one night who lambasted me for suggesting to people that mercury fillings were dangerous.  He swore that the mercury alloyed was contained in the filling and that it simply did not vaporize into the body.  The cognitive dissonance he exhibited when I told him "he may be wrong" was an eye opener and dangerous. In fact, he is so convinced himself that he even had mercury fillings in his own teeth so at least he was not hypocritical.  These are the type of dentists, in spite of being well intended observant excellent people in other areas, that one must run away from as fast and far away as possible.  Think about the logic, if you see a child grabbing a quarter or nickel and placing it in his mouth to suck on, we adults immediately run to take it out since this is not a healthy lollipop.  Then, why should we live with any type of metal lollipop in our sacred mouth allowing our salivary glands to mix in and transport metallic stuff to the rest of our body?  Considering that mercury is the second most poisonous substance (after polonium), this is unbelievable.  I believe I read that nine countries in Europe have made "mercury fillings" illegal.  

AG:  What message/advice would you like to share with others?

IM:  To recognize that you must take complete responsibility for your health and become informed before submitting your body to drugs/chemicals that cause more harm than good.  That we were probably not created to ingest or place metals, especially mercury, inside our mouths, but most probably outside our bodies as jewelry.  The mouth is "holy ground" and beware of the chemicals that are placed through it from water and foods.  Every tooth is an organ by itself and one would not leave a dead or infected organ "hanging" inside of you (as in dead teeth).  Beware of doctors and especially dentists who "don't get it" and who do not suggest first an alternative healthy way of healing.  You have the right to "fire" your doctor and simply walk away when in doubt.  Find yourself a "metal free" or at least, a "mercury free" dentist.  Find a dentist who specializes in removing and replacing mercury, not just any dentist who claims to do this sporadically.  There is no room for error when removing and replacing mercury.

Regarding Cancer, I agree with those that suggest it is does not strike or infect someone like the flu where it arrives with little prior notice.  Cancer is a result of the immune system losing a long hard battle inside of us to toxicity.  This battle may have been raging for years or decades before the symptoms reveal themselves as cancer is the last stand where the body is saying "enough is enough."  At least, in two to three months, one may undo the damage of decades.  It helps to pray, to accept, to seek divine intervention and help from others as long as they don't create more havoc with more chemicals.

AG:  How long have you been in remission?  How often do you retest? 

IM:  I am cured after turning the balance of my body from a toxic to strong and healthy immune system balance by expunging cancer and its root cause following Hula Clark's protocol. Remission to me implies a possible temporary situation like something dormant with the probability of reawakening and attacking such as a hungry lion after napping.  The beauty of the body is that it prefers to heal itself after removing toxicity.  The Clark protocol goes after the root cause of toxicity and not only the symptoms.  With G'd's help, I expect my earthly mortality to be manifested in a manner unrelated to cancer and hopefully take many decades to prove.  In terms of retesting, I take blood tests every couple of months that shed some important markers.  Although I have Submitted myself to three CT scans in one year (the first to diagnose and the last two confirming healthy lymph system), CT scans are quite toxic imparting the equivalent radiation of 400 to 500 hundreds of X rays and these studies indicate that taking too many CT scans increases the likelihood of contracting cancer ( http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1818520,00.html
 and  http://chattahbox.com/health/2009/12/15/ct-scans-may-cause-cancer-study-shows/
 )  I agree with those that state CT scans should only be done in life threatening situations and not with the frequency oncologists prescribe.  In addition, there is a huge conflict of interest.  CT Scans are very profitable for the Cancer industry and the prescribing doctors while dangerous for the patient.  I prefer to be in situations that do not arise such embedded conflicts nor do I want o find myself questioning the integrity or financial needs of a doctor prescribing me anything.    My own body and its signals will indicate to me if something went awry such as was the case when this adventure began a year ago, with a hard swollen lymph node!  


AG:  Anything else you want to share that I didn't ask?

IM:  I am neither in the health industry, nor do I ever wish to have any economic benefit from others' misfortunes.  Yet, studies indicate that the third leading cause of death in America after heart related diseases and Cancer, is the medical industry itself (The China Study).  In fact, these were not misdiagnoses but rather, the supposedly correct prescriptions.

If I can help others by speaking to groups of people or listening to them and sharing with them one-on-one how I did it, I am available - you have my number.  So far, I am thrilled this has helped a few people.  One lady had found melanoma and had surgery scheduled to remove a piece of her ear lobe along with the malignant skin.  She postponed her surgery and instead, dove completely into the same program I did.  She had 22 mercury fillings.  The good news is that after completing this program, her melanoma trace was gone and her surgery cancelled.  Now that felt good!!

Pomegranate Power



Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food!

In both Jewish and Chinese traditions the pomegranate is seen as a symbol of fruitfulness or fertility because of its many seeds.  In the Jewish tradition it is thought that the 613 seeds in a pomegranate correspond to the 613 commandments in the Hebrew Bible.  The pomegranate is one of the few images which appear on ancient coins of Judea as a holy symbol, and today many Torah scrolls are stored while not in use with a pair of decorative hollow silver "pomegranates" (rimmonim) placed over the two upper scroll handles.  What is so special about this ruby red fruit?

There are nearly 400 research articles published in the medical databases on pomegranates!  These recent scientific studies document the beneficial effects of pomegranate juice, seed extract, and seed oil on everything from cardiovascular health to prostate cancer.  The powerful antioxidants in this delicious fruit have many health benefits from boosting the immune system to inhibition of breast cancer proliferation. 

Orally, pomegranate is used for high blood pressure, congestive heart failure (CHF), atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, cholesterol, HIV, tapeworm infestations, opportunistic intestinal worms and more.  It is also used for preventing prostate cancer, obesity and weight loss, and as an astringent, for diarrhea and dysentery.  Other uses include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), influenza, swine flu, periodontal disease, erectile dysfunction, diabetes, and even cancer.

Topically, pomegranate is used as a gargle for sore throat and to treat hemorrhoids.

One pomegranate delivers approximately 40% of an adult's daily Vitamin C requirement and is high in polyphenol compounds. These compounds are thought to reduce "silent inflammation," which research has suggested is at the root of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Pomegranate has a long history of use as food and medicine in Asia and South America. In the United States, pomegranate is typically juiced or the seeds are used as food. Pomegranate seeds may have phytoestrogenic qualities and may be used in hormonally-related conditions, such as menopause.  It is even used in holistic digestive formulas, joint health formulas, skin formulas and multivitamin formulations.

Since pomegranates are not always in season, in order to obtain their numerous health benefits, the extracts of the pomegranate nutrients can be taken daily in supplemental form.

Invest in Stem Cell Banking



If you were given the opportunity to take a small measure in order to potentially save the life of your children, parents, siblings, spouse or yourself, wouldn’t you do it? Well, the good news is that this opportunity does exist!

Every time a child is born this opportunity presents itself to the parents. It is called cord blood banking. Just after the child is born, the placenta continues to pump blood to the newborn for several minutes. This special blood is rich in pleuripotent stem cells, which can become any type of cell in the body. When the midwife or doctor carefully collects this blood, it can be stored or “banked” for future use by the family.  This may be the best health insurance available because there are over 70 different conditions that stem cells can treat or possibly cure! The categories of conditions include blood and other cancers, bone marrow failure disorders, blood cell disorders, immune system disorders, as well as genetic metabolic disorders such as the Jewish genetic diseases: Tay Sachs, Beta Thalasemia, Fanconi anemia, and Gaucher disease.
Currently, research is being done for future applications such as liver disease, heart disease, spinal cord and brain injuries, cerebral palsy, and diabetes.
If anyone in the family (who has at least 3 of 6 matching HLA protein markers with the newborn) develops a condition that is treatable by stem cell injection, there is hope for a cure. Many families have utilized this incredible technology to save the lives of their children and family members. For more information and to read success stories and testimonials visit www.cordblood.com.

Furthermore, there is an organic natural supplement that can be taken to increase the amount of stem cells collected. The supplement is called Stem Enhance. Two capsules a day of this kosher, organic, blue-green algae known as AFA will yield superior results for the family. The more stem cells collected, the more potential family members can be helped with the baby’s blood. For more information on Stem Enhance and to order on-line, please visit: http://optimalhealth613.stemtechbiz.com/ Please consult with your medical provider before starting this or any supplement to ensure that it is appropriate for you.

B12 or Be Fat!

Patient Testimonial

It’s hard to believe that just two years ago I weighed 186 lbs and was considered obese.  I’m 5’1” and now I weigh 126 lbs and I have great energy and stamina.  I feel awesome and I attribute my newly-found wellbeing to the Vitamin B12 injections I receive several times per week.

     When I saw Donna Brady, a 43 year old mother of three, interviewed by Fox News, I thought “If she can do it, I can do it!”

     I searched my area and I found a local holistic doctor who provides Vitamin B12 injections as well as many other services such as acupuncture and nutrition to assist with weight loss.

     So I made an appointment with my Doctor and I asked her why B Vitamins were essential for weight loss. “B Vitamins are depleted when people are overwhelmed or stressed.  Today everyone is stressed. As a result, they burn their nutrients and may end up with deficiencies that can cause fatigue, poor vision, skin problems, nervous system issues such as neuropathy and numbness, migraine headaches, balance problems, disorientation, irritability and even personality changes” she told me.

     Then she gave me a brochure that contained the following symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency:

-Pale skin (white spots may develop on the skin from melatonin becoming absent)

-Diarrhea or Constipation

-Gums that bleed in the absence of other dental problems

-Concentration problems

-Rapid Heartbeat

-Inability to catch breath, especially when exercising

-Memory loss

-Loss of the sense of smell

-Loss of Appetite

“Vitamin B12 injections assist people on the path to optimal health and wellbeing but it’s not a magic bullet,” my doctor told me.  “People must be willing to make the appropriate lifestyle modifications including improving eating habits and increasing physical activity in order to support their ultimate health goals. It’s about boosting energy and increasing awareness of healthier lifestyle choices for a lifetime.”

Boy was I ready to do whatever was necessary to lose weight and feel great!  She added that today 1 out of 3 Americans is considered obese with obesity defined as being 20% or more above one’s ideal body weight.  “Obesity is not merely an esthetic matter, it is a great health concern that increases a person’s morbidity and mortality because of their increased risk of many preventable illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers just to name a few” she said.

The brochure she gave me also said that Vitamin B12 is found naturally in meat products, eggs, and fish natural source and therefore vegetarians who do not supplement with this vital nutrient may be at greater risk for deficiency.   

According to the Fox News report, Vitamin B12 gives people an added boost at the gym and the weight falls off faster.  I find it’s been true for me.  When I have more energy, I feel better and the better I feel I lose more weight.  My only regret is “Why did I wait so long? I didn’t know there was hope!” 

     Pictured here is my inspiration, Donna who gave me hope that I too could find energy, increased vitality, and a new life thanks to Vitamin B12 shots.  Now I can enjoy my grandson in better health and wellbeing!  Thanks Donna!

I found the following information in the brochure to be helpful in understanding exactly how and why these injections work.

HOW LIPOTROPIC VITAMIN B12 INJECTIONS WORK

     Vitamin B12. B vitamins help the body to convert food (such as carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is "burned" to produce energy. B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins. They also help the body to metabolize fats and protein. Vitamin B12 gives a huge energy boost, which helps to burn calories.           

     The liver is the organ responsible for removing fat and toxins from the body, so if it is healthier, it will work better.

     Lipotropic means fat-loving. A lipotropic substance decreases the deposit, or speeds up the removal of fat (lipo, meaning fat and tropic, meaning stimulate) within the liver.

     This term describes the function of the three amino acids Methione, Inositol and Choline  that are essential for optimal liver health. This combination cocktail injection enhances liver function and increases the flow of fats and bile from the liver and gallbladder.    

     Methione is one of the sulfur-containing amino acids. It acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver and the body.

     Inositol is a nutrient belonging to the B vitamin complex. It is closely associated with choline. It aids in the metabolism of fats and helps reduce blood cholesterol. It also participates in action of serotonin.

     Choline supports the health of the liver in its processing and excretion of chemical waste products within the body. It is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol within the body. This is important for the healthy support of the endocrine, cardiovascular and hepatic system.

     Since B Vitamins are very safe and because they are water soluble any excess is eliminated in the urine.  A known contraindication, however, for the lipotropic containing injection is sulfa allergy due to Methionine being a sulfur-containing amino acid.  In case of sulfur allergies, Vitamin B12 may be administered alone.
