There is scientific data on virtually every recommendation. This does not make it relevant for you necessarily. You will likely need a combination of analysis & diagnostics to determine what recommendations are best for you and your current circumstance. It is wise to have 2-4 different forms of analysis.
This is a optimal manual to retain and review consistently.

3. Detoxification
(A) Identify current toxic body burden and begin appropriate detoxification protocols. (B) Identify and eliminate home and environmental sources of toxic body burden. (C) Reset the body’s biofield to eliminate stored emotional/physical trauma, which may suppress the body’s healing and detoxification functions.
4. Eliminate Chronic Infections
Eliminate chronic infections by identifying targeted anti -infective nutraceutical agents, often used concurrently with detoxification agents (external and internal).
5. Rejuvenating the Body’s Systems
Embark upon whole-body rejuvenation at the cellular level by using key nutraceuticals chosen for their ability to nourish the cellular matrix and perform comprehensive DNA repair.
Sequence of Detoxification
Basic guidelines to Optimal Health and healing chronic disease.
1. Kidney/Lymph Function
What is important is to insure the kidneys are
supported with nutrition prior to more extensive detox and infection elimination protocols.
2. Colon/Small Intestine Function
Digestive tract health is the biggest contributer to disease. Most abused and neglected organ.
Hierarchy of Healing Mind/Belief
Everyone is different, we simply want to provide you with a source of order so as to make your health journey simpler.
Your emotions/beliefs/intentions is the highest order
Environment

We take the Traditional Chinese Medical model which details the importance of at least 3 different forms of analysis/diagnostics. We prefer at least 3 different forms of analysis/diagnostics. Our main 2 methods are:
1. Quality Interview (with detailed intake form)
2. Quantum Reflex Analysis (Bi-Digital O-Ring Testing)
The 3rd will generally either be a specific kind of Blood Analysis, Saliva or Hair Mineral Analysis. There are many more we will refer to however given your circumstance and ability to search deeper are all variables we take into account. It can assist in the correction of your condition by choosing quality tests right for you. This simple yet powerful form of analysis, even with it’s limitations can shed light upon the underlying root cause to your circumstance and where to treat next. It is a way of assessing meridian health which assess organ and gland function along with dosage and remedy effectiveness for up-regulating organ function.

1. Decaying teeth. Old tooth decay (whether it is painful or not) can cause chronic symptoms in other parts of your body. Repair decayed teeth as soon as possible according to the Quantum Dental Protocol (developed by Dr. Robert Marshall). 2. Dead teeth. A dead tooth slowly releases putrid byproducts, which can cause chronic fatigue and other debilitating symptoms in your body. Rarely do you know when a tooth is dead. Get a Thermal Conductivity Test to check for dead teeth. If a dead tooth is found, have a root canal procedure according to the Quantum Dental Protocol.

5. Old root canals. Conventional root canal therapy typically uses gutta percha (which contains mercury, barium, cadmium and lead) to fill the canals. These toxic metals slowly leach into the body. Replace old root canal fillings according to the Quantum Dental Protocol. 6. Toxic dentures. Most common denture materials are toxic (both the plastic bases and the colorings). Replace your dentures with biocompatible dental materials according to the Quantum Dental Protocol.

14. Wrong bed orientation. Restful sleep at night is essential for good health. Place the head of your bed to face east, (so when you are lying down, the top of your head points toward the east) to allow the body to achieve maximum healing and repair during sleep in alignment with the earth’s electromagnetics. Misalignment can impede the healing and repair process of sleep. A bed facing north (sleeping with your head pointing north) can be particularly disruptive. Secondly, harmful EMF fields emanate about one foot out from the walls (due to AC currents) in the typical home. Therefore, place your bed one foot out from the wall to avoid sleeping in these fields (and also use a Circuit Protector.)

your body by using external clinical-grade clay packs. 6. Whole/Raw/Fermented Foods. There is a lot of discussion over how much raw over cooked over fermented. Our suggestion is to experiment. In general raw & fermented foods will be easiest on your digestive tract and increase longevity & immunity. Cooked foods are less likely to do so and demand more from your body to digest. The pancreas, stomach, intestines and liver all pay a higher toll to eat cooked foods. A big improvement is to simply eat whole foods again, some raw, fermented and cooked. Eat with the local seasons. If you don’t eat a lot of raw food than all the sudden eat nothing but raw food you will likely experience a Herxhimer Reaction and swear off raw foods forever. We find incrementalism is ideal, integrate more raw foods slowly.

If an E-Cise causes you pain discontinue its use and continue with the sequence of the remaining E-Cises. It is a great sequence of stretches to do for whole body range of movement and design movement. The sequence is very important. Click the blue highlighted words to be lead to a menu to teach you how to do each stretch along with the reasoning.
You will likely fall into one of four different categories of posture that all have their own set of E-Cises. The below abbreviated form is a general sequence for proper form and spinal alignment. You will want to get a hold of a copy of The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion to read about the self-diagnosis to determine which category you are best fitted for. Once you know this you will be armed with some powerful movements that can alter your posture. We recommend contacting a Biophysics Chiropractor to get assessed for any abnormal spinal conditions such as scoliosis, straight spine syndrome, lumbar hyperlordosis, thoracic hyperkyphosis, etc.

Breathe fully in as many dimensions as you can when doing stretches as this helps oxygenate tissue and charge fascial tissue
• Never stretch just in relation to your self. For example if doing downward dog put your intention in extending your spine all the way to the ceiling and floor or further. This creates more space for your spine and tissues to open and exchange

We recommend doing basic water enemas before proceeding to coffee enemas. Water enemas are for the colon whereas coffee enemas are targeted at detoxifying the liver by increasing the SOD and Glutathione S-transferase levels to effectively rid toxins. ALWAYS consume probiotics after any enema and use lukewarm filtered water as the base. Only use Organic Coffee.

There is debate whether one should feel detox symptoms. Some practitioners claim it is a sign that the body is taking on more than it can handle and you should never feel symptoms from detox. We’ve seen great success when clients have a Herxheimer Reaction as well as when they don’t. We prefer the latter however cannot promise it to each client.

Doctors Approval
• Ask your Doctor if you can switch from the pharmaceutical Potassium Chloride with this version? The version recommended should be healthier for you.
• Ask your Doctor if it would be wise at this point in time to consume at least 2 gelcaps of this Vitamin K2 a day? Urge him to read the brief abstracts to the right.
The following pubmed scientific abstracts are suggestive evidence and grounds for recommendation of K2 for those experiencing cardiovascular difficulties. However I simply do not know enough about clients on blood thinning medication and K2 so ask for the input of the doctor and print the following abstracts off and ask him if he would overview the data?
It is wise to approach it on the grounds of questions and observations. If a doctor gets upset with this approach then I would recommend you reconsider another doctor. It is one thing to act rude when asking questions and a whole different thing when you do so calmly with a genuine interest in their opinion of the data presented.

Conscious Eating (chew ALL food until it is liquid) Avoid ice cold water unless it is summer and your out in the heat If you eat melons do NOT combine them with any other kind of food Do not eat fruit with meals (unless apples, bananas or berries with oatmeal) Sip on tea with meals to improve digestion of the meal and ease digestive troubles Conscious Breathing (10 minutes minimum a day breathe consciously & slowly uninterrupted) Rinse mouth out 4 times after drinking juice (if you juice), this will save the enamel of your teeth from the acid When you increase foods with rich fiber content do not overdo it, it will take your intestines a few weeks to adjust to increasing fiber content so do so slowly • Do not drink water (unless hot) directly with meals (if anything drink a glass of water 15 minutes before a meal, but not during a meal as it dampens digestion) • • • • • • • •
