Session Overview
The Session Overview below is provided as a courtesy to those who prefer to read than listen, yet with each audio additional insights are given which round out the subject.
Preface - If You Have an Autoimmune Condition
The two conference calls above and the following article are devoted to providing a comprehensive outline for building a powerful immune system. There are a few modifications during the early stages if you have a known autoimmune-condition (people with an autoimmune situation should not take Immune Power or Digestive Bitters at first as these will stimulate your immune system. Instead, it is suggested to begin with immune modulators like Adaptogen & Mushroom Blend and Herbal C as these are more gentle at balancing immune responses); otherwise the program outlined below provides a framework for building your immune system to peak performance. In this way specific diseases do not have to be targeted; your body already knows what to do and will simply heal itself.
Given that your immune system is capable of manufacturing over 100 trillion antibody configurations effective at targeting any invading pathogen, your real goal here is not to fight a specific germ, fungus or virus, but to build the entire immune system to such a level of strength that it is fully capable of dealing with any and all pathogenic invasions. Just give your body the nutritional resources it needs to do what it does best, and your body will simply heal itself.
How I Stopped the Flu in 4 Hours
On the way to dinner I noticed the first sign: a sore spot developing in the throat. I then recalled having an unusual slight headache for the several days prior, but normal energy. I also recalled feeling acidic for the last couple of days from dining at restaurants.
Fortunately Barbara had our travel kit of herbs and spices with her, so once at the restaurant, I ordered Earl Grey tea (two bags) for the throat (tannins in the tea can knock out a sore throat in minutes) and from the formulas in our travel kit, I began a high level regimen of Immune Power, Sacred Clay and Earth & Sea Greens.
After dinner I immediately started running water for a clay bath and took another hefty round of herbal formulas and clay. In the middle of the clay bath that night, I felt the symptoms completely lift. Fortunately I was able to hit it hard as soon as the first symptom was felt. Once it has set in for an hour or more, several servings at high levels is typically required to build enough strength in the immune system to turn the tide back in your favor.
Rapid Power-Up Immune Building Program
To build power in your immune system so your body has the strength to clean house and take care of business, the following program is recommended to be taken every hour or two for 1-3 days, or until you feel stronger, more vital and alert:
Recommended every 1-2 hours:
a. 6-12 capsules of Immune Power
b. One teaspoon or more of Sacred Clay. Also see the Vital Health News Archive: Clay Water Mineral Drink
c. One teaspoon of Earth & Sea Greens
d. (Optionally: 1/4 teaspoon of Friendly Flora)
Then take one or two Sacred Clay & Black Beauty Baths (Bath Kit or Bath Packets) every day,
And as an option: an All Night Foot Poultice following the Clay Bath.
Take the above for 1-3 days, or as required to feel stronger, more vital and alert.
Two Powerful Internal Immune System Responses that Keep Us Healthy - Naturally!
1. 'Killer' T cells designed to "kill" virally infected or abnormal cells
2. 'Bulldog' B cells (my name for them :) can produce over 100 trillion different antibody configurations in order to neutralize antigens in the body
The point here is, your own immune system, when nourished properly, possesses the ability take care of ALL of your immune needs. Our job is to provide our immune systems with solid nourishment from earthen sources (herbs & clays rather than drugs), and to stop feeding it the food & drink that weaken immune responses (ie. sugars, acid food & drink, fruit juices, breads, nuts, most medical treatments, etc.). The purpose of a solid nourishing program is so your immune system can power-up and maintain maximum health.
About Flu Shots and Immunizations
The immune system does NOT need the introduction of artificially-introduced pathogens (such as what you will find in a vaccine) to generate antibodies. Normal environmental influences are sufficient to trigger the immune responses of the body. Each trigger will add to its memory database new antibody configurations which can then be rapidly produced in high volumes upon demand. This memory database is how your body remains immune to future exposures to the same pathogen. Your job is to power-up your immune system with solid herbal & clay nutrition, so your body has the resources to respond to any and every threat to your overall health.
You have the choice to "let Nature take its course" and do little on a daily basis to build a positive immune response ability, or you can act in an aggressive, preventative way to power-up your immune system such it is fully capable of addressing any and all invading pathogens as needed at anytime. Here are a few power-up suggestions:
Twenty Things You Can Do to Build a Powerful Immune System
1. Cultivate an awareness of bodily changes & be prepared with proper herbal support
Daily preventive amounts of Immune Power (8 caps per day). At the FIRST SIGN of any stress on your immune system, begin the Rapid Power-up Immune Building Program above. Some of the initial immune stress symptoms may include:
a. Tickle or soreness in the throat (indicating an acid condition in the body and weakened immune system typically from natural sugars, fruit, nuts, chips, coffee, environmental poisons, etc.)
b. Achy feelings, chills or fever (indicating toxic condition, weakened kidney, spleen & immune stress)
c. Lethargy, loss of motivation (indicating adrenal fatigue, candida overgrowth, blown out spleen or low thyroid typically from sweets, stimulants, etc.)
d. Fuzzy head
e. Slight background headache (or worse)
f. Sinus swelling, drippy or stuffiness
g. Bloating, heartburn, acid reflux
h. Inflammation in the digestive track (indicating low probiotic count, typically from former antibiotic use)
i. Fever blisters, canker sores, herpes outbreak
j. Scaly, inflamed patches or discolorations on the skin (indicating Candida overgrowth and liver toxicity)
2. Envision yourself in a perfect state of health, and then do the inner work necessary to become equal to that vision
Visions alone will not work. Decisive inner adjustments are essential to complete success. The Gentle Art of Self Healing explains how to permanently transform inner patterns in rapid and powerful ways. The image you choose of your desired end result will guide your process of inner clearings and revelations necessary for complete success.
3. Build long term immune system strength with Immune Power
Immune Power includes over 50 potent herbal immune system builders. Whole earthen herbs nourish the immune system into high states of health boosting your natural defense mechanisms for the preservation of health. Daily preventive amounts of Immune Power (8 caps per day) followed by the above high level immune building program beginning immediately upon the very first sign of immune stress.
4. Maintain proper pH balance
Stay alkaline by reducing the acidic/sugary foods, pastas, meats, breads and grain cereals in the diet and take regular amounts of Earth & Sea Greens (the fastest way I know to alkalize the body to 7.0 pH and keep it there)
a. A daily dose of two tablespoons of Earth & Sea Greens per day for maintenance purposes. The seaweeds in Thyroid Balance are also alkalizers
b. A high level dose of one teaspoon every hour of Earth & Sea Greens until feeling strong and alert
c. Do not drink citrus fruit juices (like grapefruit or orange juice - lime is OK, being alkalizing). Strong citrus juices will only worsen your symptoms and slow down your progress due to the sugars (which depress the immune system) and acid promoting properties of citrus fruits at a time when your body is already over-acid (low in pancreatic carbonate)
d. Drink unsweetened cranberry juice or consume other berries (like blueberries) instead of citrus juices
e. If it is Vitamin C you are after, take Herbal C instead – contains the most stable and most potent forms of 'C' in the plant kingdom (Amalaki Berry)
f. Eat asparagus every day to purge uric acid from your system
g. Avoid sugary foods, fried foods, breads, meats (except chicken soup with bones), coffee, colas, etc. which will depress your immune response and acidify your body
5. Detoxify on a regular basis
Take Sacred Clay for internal detox and to help neutralize pathogen loads.
a. A daily dose of two tablespoons of Sacred Clay per day for maintenance purposes
b. A high level dose of one teaspoon of Sacred Clay every hour in water, lime or lemon juice or in your Earth & Sea Greens, until feeling strong and alert
6. Enjoy clay baths for a whole body flush of toxins
Take a Sacred Clay & Black Beauty Bath (Bath Kit or Bath Packets) to detox and keep the body warm. Noticeable improvements are often noticed from a single clay bath. Toxins leave from every pore of the skin. Electrolytes enter through the skin boosting immune responses
a. 1/4 cup or more of Sacred Clay in the water and
b. 1/8 cup or more of the Black Beauty (or add one or two of the premixed Bath Packets)
c. Stay in the bath for 45 minutes to one hour or more, or as long as needed to feel better
d. OK to take two baths per day if necessary to move things forward
e. Best way to reduce detox reactions from an herbal cleanse or toxic exposure is to take a Sacred Clay bath with Black Beauty in it (for additional electrolytes)
7. Sweat Therapy
a. If you drink ginger tea (or other diaphoretic – sweat promoting – like Fire! if you dare, or Fire Subdued without the cayenne) before or during your bath, this will improve circulation and sweating; both of which are powerful ways to detoxify the body and shorten any recovery program. Strong circulation is essential for the distribution of nutrients, oxygenation of the cells and the removal of toxins/pathogens from the body
b. The famous "Cold Sheet Treatment" (Listen to the audio of this archive or Google this for instruction) causes eight hours of sweating for a powerful detoxification experience
c. Infrared saunas with a 15 minute Sacred Clay Bath both before and after the sauna is an ideal way to draw more toxins to the surface during the first bath and the sauna, then draw them completely out of the body with the second bath
d. Sweat lodge
8. Utilize foot poultices (foot packs)
Do an All Night Foot Poultice with Sacred Clay (it is like an 8 hour foot bath, only more powerful)
9. Get your sunshine and touch the earth
a. Spend as much time as possible in the sun (similar to what the animals do when they are sick) and eat organic mushrooms to get the maximum amount of Vitamin D.
Beware: Vitamin D increases calcium absorption in the body and can result in leg cramps as your calcium levels (used to contract your muscles) overpower your magnesium levels (used to relax your muscles) causing cramps. So, when increasing your Vitamin D through sunlight, reduce your high calcium foods like milk & cheese, and increase your high magnesium foods like Ancient Mineral Blend and sea vegetables.
b. Lie down on the grass or ground or walk barefoot (or sock footed) on the earth in order to ground and move static energy out of the body; this also brings vital healing energy from the earth into the body and calms restless leg at night.
10. Eat lightly but provide the body with complete super-food nutrition
Ease the load on your digestive system to provide more energy to the immune system. Modify the diet to reduce acid foods and increase alkaline foods.
a. Stop all citrus fruits and drinks, tomatoes, coffee, colas, sweetened beverages, fried foods, pastries, breads, grain cereals, bananas, nuts, eggs, cheese, meat and other acid food and drink
b. Consume Earth & Sea Greens (for complete super-food nutrition), salads, cucumbers, celery, organic mushrooms, avocado, veggies, brown basmati rice, red and black rice, soups, chicken & vegetable broths, Ancient Mineral Blend, and Himalayan Crystal Salt seawater brine solution (soley)
c. Consume 1-4 Digestive Bitters capsules (1/4 tsp. each capsule) with every meal – and, optionally, one capsule between meals to further increase the digestive powers of the body. This helps the body consume pathogens and undigested food.
d. Also as an option, add Fire! or Fire Subdued to your meals to increase digestive and circulatory power. Strong circulation is essential for the distribution of nutrients, oxygenation of the cells and the removal of toxins/pathogens from the body
11. Follow the natural laws of wise food combining practices
(See "OK, So What Foods CAN I Eat?".)
SBO's strengthen the body's immune responses and help to reduce heavy metals and pathogens.
a. Don't mix oils with sweets or starches
b. Don't mix fruits and nuts
c. Don't mix nut butters or fruits with bread. (Truly it is best to drop nuts from the menu altogether as they tend to promote herpes outbreaks, acidify the body, increase candida overgrowth and slow the digestion)
d. Take your Digestive Bitters
e. Stop eating bananas altogether – one of the largest candida promoters in the fruit kingdom
f. Minimize your citrus intake except for limes and lemons
g. Eliminate coffee, sugar, bread, meat and dairy during times of immune stress
h. Replace coffee with SumaRaj, Yerba Maté, Kidney Adrenal Builder and/or Adaptogen & Mushroom Blend
i. Eat more avocados, medicinal mushrooms and brewers yeast. Mushrooms require drying or heat to break down their cell walls for assimilation. Do not eat fresh raw mushrooms. (FYI: Mushrooms and Brewers Yeast (grown on beets, not beer), do not cause candida overgrowth. Candida overgrowth is caused by an excess of toxins, undigested foods, heavy metals, and high sugar levels. These are the foods for candida. Candida is a necessary body fungi. It is there to save your life. When you reduce its food sources, candida naturally falls back to background levels.)
12. Build the quantity of Soil Based Organisms (Friendly Flora) in your body
SBO's strengthen the body's immune responses and help to reduce heavy metals and pathogens. Your intestines should hold over four pounds of friendly bacteria for ideal digestion and immune response capability.
Slowly build up to 12-18 capsules (1-1.5 tablespoons) per day for 7-30 days to help reset the biological terrain in the intestines.

13. Eat Cultured Food with every meal
Cultured (fermented foods) build probiotics in the intestines assisting in digestion and immune health.
a. Cultured foods (sauerkraut, kefir, raw milk whey, coconut water kefir, coconut water vinegar, cultured papaya, rejuvelac, etc.)
b. Best to avoid the soy based products like soy based miso (use the non-soy miso pastes instead. Check the ingredients carefully)
14. Take adaptogenic herbs and nutritional mushrooms to modulate the immune system (Adaptogen & Mushroom Blend)
Adaptogenic herbs and nutritional mushrooms help to normalize immune responses in the body (whether over or under active)
15. Mineral-rich water – pure and simple – make it oxygen rich
a. Add some Sacred Clay, Ormalite, Vitallite, Ancient Mineral Blend, Earthen Ormus or Mineral Manna to your water to mineralize and purify it, then shake and swirl the water prior to drinking. Turbulence increases the oxygen content of the water and swirling restructures the water.

16. What about MMS and Colloidal Silver?
a. MMS has short term benefits (like hydrogen peroxide), but does not nourish the body's immune system sufficiently to cause it to be strong on its own over the long term. Nourishing super-foods, mushrooms, SBO's and herbs build immune strength with long term benefits due to their profound nutritional qualities.
b. (Colloidal) Silver is only one mineral out of the 90+ that you need to create mineral balance in the body. Taking a single mineral of any kind can seriously imbalance your mineral profiles. Better to consume whole earthen resources like Sacred Clay, Ancient Mineral Blend or Earthen Ormus and Immune Power. Earthen resources provide multidimensional benefits and uniquely designed nutritional compounds which tend to upgrade the vital performance of every necessary organ or gland.
17. Exercise – Take a brief walk everyday, which will provide:
a. oxygen
b. circulation
c. lymphatic drainage
d. quieting of the mind
18. Practice Heart Balance Chi Gong or other energy building exercises
19. One who sees nothing but the oneness of all life becomes immune to all disease
Why? Because this perspective can only be obtained with a completely open heart; opening the heart produces an active thymus gland (the source of your T Cells!)
20. How to get there from here?
a. Quietly connect with the Source of Life through your heart center
b. Contemplate the True Nature of Life (Innocence, Infinity, Presence and Love)
c. and Breathe!
