The Feast of Less:

How, Why and When YOU should do a Gall Bladder Flush:

The Candida Three: do you understand your battle with Candida?

How, Why and When YOU should do a Gall Bladder Flush

I am thrilled to treat this subject, which is not one that I have spent much time on in the past. Really, I just did general, non-specific liver and gall bladder cleansing in the past and that seemed to work just fine. Then, I ran into a situation where I needed to do a more intensive gall bladder flush as I was cleansing out systemic toxins after a time of stress which led to illness.

I realized that my body showed every evidence of overflowing organic toxins. These, your body will try hard to eliminate, but the primary organ of strength and elimination for them is the gall bladder.

I consulted with several respected colleagues/friends to help guide me. I did other things that are congruent for me to do. One of the several things that appeared as something that I really needed to do was an intensive gall bladder flush.

I looked around and found one that I felt would work for my situation. I had already been doing intensive healing and had been successful up to this point. Thus my body was ready to dump a lot, and had a lot of backed up toxins to dump!

When I did this short, simple cleanse, I literally passed more than 50 of the semi-soft (about clay-consistency) bright green bile stones. These stones are made of green bile (hence the distinguished color) cholesterol and toxic fats. They are not as irritating or hard as other types of stones you might get in the gall bladder, but they were enough to keep my gall bladder backed up and toxic (as well as my liver since the gall bladder is the exit for the liver). These stones together would have easily filled a cup or more by volume.

Then came enormous relief in how I felt and feeling like I had a new lease on life. After I got done, I knew I had to document and write about this issue for you, my readers.

The version I originally learned for a gall bladder flush is the most natural one, but it takes three days. I did not have that kind of time and patience in my situation, so I was directed by one of my colleagues to Hulda Clarke’s gall bladder flush.

I looked it over carefully and modified it to fit my unique knowledge and tastes and choices. The results were stunning, as I have mentioned.

So, with that teaser, let me take a commercial break.

I want you all to know about Traci’s Transformational Kitchen Recipe Collection. This newly revised edition of her more comprehensive original book has everything you need to make truly healthful food taste delicious. It gives so many tricks and tools and provides so many recipes that it just is a have to have for any household interested in healthy food preparation. It is easy to use with a lot of emphasis on preparing food quickly and simply from scratch. There are many totally raw recipes, many transitional recipes and many whole foods recipes prepared more traditionally.

You can buy this book for $39, down from over $63 for the old book. You can access all you need to learn more and purchase the book at www.bestfoodist.com

One last thing and then we will get back to the gall bladder flush: For those who would really like all the recipes in the more comprehensive book, we are leaving that book available for download and for purchase at www.lulu.com for ONLY ONE MORE WEEK. Then this book will be gone forever and those recipes will only be available in future update recipe packets. (note: if you go to www.lulu.com to get the book, look up "Traci’s Transformational Kitchen Cookbook" in the search window).

Thank you for allowing the commercial, but I could tell you were getting worked up about the gall bladder flush.

Let’s see, I was telling you about the gall bladder flush variation that I did and how well it works.

Let me back up and give you a little info on when and why to do a gall bladder flush.

Anytime you feel evidence of organic toxins building, it is time to flush the gall bladder (and maybe feed the heart with something like Richard Schulze’s Heart Formula). Organ toxins (I can hear you asking already) are noticeable in several ways:

Understand that most of these symptoms could come from other sources, but if you have a combination of these, you probably have a good enough reason to do a gall bladder flush. I am not a medical doctor, but then everything I am going to tell you about is either food or an over the counter medicine.

One more note here, if you started a healing program and discovered the above symptoms appearing, probably you have stirred up toxins for removal that are not being thrown off by the organs. In this case, a gall bladder flush is a very good idea.

If you decide that you need to do a gall bladder flush, the next step is to ask yourself if you are ready to do one.

If you have just come off of several years of pizza and root beer, I am not sure that I would attempt a gall bladder flush until you have readied your body. It is doubtful that your body will be able to perform much of a flush (though bodies often surprise us in positive ways, so I cannot tell you to not do it).

Preferable would be that you are following a healthy program at least as good as the light load program taught in Traci’s Transformational Health Principles (available at www.bestfoodist.com ). If you have, then you can probably do this gall bladder flush anytime. It is best if you have a couple mornings of nothing but fresh juice for breakfast, but if you are on the fruit until noon program, you do not need to do anything extra. You are ready to start the gall bladder flush any evening.

The last thing that should be in place before doing a gall bladder flush is a healthy bowel. It is hard to flush the gall bladder if the place it dumps into is toxic. Thus if you have slow bowel movements, you will need to take Richard Schulze’s Intestinal Formula #1 or Dr. Christopher’s Original Formulas Quick Colon for several days before starting the gall bladder flush. Take as much as you need to get your bowels moving at least as often as you eat, preferably more often. They need to be moving this well before starting the gall bladder flush.

Just like before, sometimes the body surprises us all. If you feel driven to do a gall bladder flush and do not have the time, patience or money to prepare everything, just do what you can and see what happens. I know of no adverse effects in those who were not ready to do it right, and often the effects are miraculous!

Things you will need:

Wintergreen pure essential oil (a high quality brand is obviously preferred, several are available on line)

Epsom Salt

High quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil (at least ½ cup per person)

Four yellow grapefruit per person

Richard Schulze’s L-GB Formula and his Heart Formula (optional, but useful)

Distilled or filtered water

A taste of sea salt (optional)

Step one: Eat only raw food that day and stop eating by about 2 pm. You can eat after 2, but it does work better if your system is empty. Definitely do not eat any cooked food after 2 pm.

Step two: At about 6 pm, take one tablespoon of Epsom salts in a cup of water. If you have it, put two to three droppers full of Richard Schulze’s L-GB and his Heart formula in the Epsom salts drink. The Epsom salts should be totally dissolved in the water.

Wash your grapefruit completely and then peel it. Cut off ½ slice crosswise that is about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick. Sprinkle it with about ten drops of wintergreen oil and eat it. The wintergreen oil and sweet juice will kill all sorts of parasites that will weaken and congest the lymph and liver and all systems.

Step three: At about 8 pm, repeat everything you did at 6 pm.

Step four: At about 9:45, repeat everything you did at 8 pm.

Step five: At 10 pm, drink ½ cup of your high quality extra virgin olive oil. Follow this by eating the rest of the grapefruit and two more. Make sure you chew each bite to just juice and make sure you sprinkle wintergreen oil on each full bite (so that you are consuming maybe 40 drops of wintergreen oil per grapefruit).

Notice: Wintergreen oil is potentially toxic and should not be consumed in anything other than drop-sized doses and not for any length of time. In a setting like this, I am unaware of any potential problems with it and it is a good deal safer than many things we ingest.

When you have finished the last of the grapefruit, put a little sea salt on your tongue if you want to help your system feel stable and strong.

It is important that you use the bathroom one more time and then go immediately to bed. If you can get someone to, it is a good idea to rub the reflex zones on the feet with castor oil as this will permeate the whole system and encourage movement and catharsis. It electrifies the whole body and creates vitality for healing. You need to get to sleep so that you can relax and get healing.

Step Six: In the morning, get up and drink one more cup of Epsom salts drink, prepared exactly like the night before.

You can then eat the last grapefruit with wintergreen and go back to bed or start your day depending on how you feel. I find that this program is actually revitalizing, rather than weakening.

Then, watch your bowel movements for stones. The green stones, like mine, will float. Some will sink like rocks and are much harder. There are screens you can buy to poop through so you can monitor any stones that come out if you would like.

This program is so easy and quick that anyone can work it into their schedule. It is relatively mild (though some might experience some nausea as the stones move) and very rich in experiential sensation. I could feel my gall bladder dumping what felt like a clumpy bowel movement (aren’t you glad I told you that) several times and even into the next day. It was a profound experience that resulted in immediate boosting of my vitality.

If you have questions, you are always welcome to email me. Good luck with deciding the next step to take with your cleanse.

Thank you for reading.

Your Friend,

 The Feast of Less:

When I first entered the natural healing field, I found many varied approaches to the same sorts of problems. I tried many of these and found them all to have a certain value that I appreciated.

One theme that was not varied, however, was the belief in giving the body more and more of what it lacked in order to make sure it could heal and perform and feel at its best.

After about ten years of practice and over 12 years of study, I am satisfied that there is another valid viewpoint that we should consider when approaching our own personal journey to health.

This viewpoint is the viewpoint that, generally, the body really needs less, not more, in order to be at its best.

Before I launch into this discussion, which will give you power to heal, be healthy and prevent all kinds of diseases, I want to give you a valuable announcement.

First, I am happy to announce that Kal’s School is getting wider publicity and some of its articles are being published to hundreds of thousands of people. Some of you are recent users of www.kalsschool.com as a result of this increased publicity. Thank you so much for joining us.

I also have noticed that www.kalsschool.com  now has more users in the Atlanta, Georgia area than outside of it. Because of this, I want to invite those of you that are in or near Cobb County, Georgia, to join us in our live classes. We have begun teaching Traci’s Transformational Kitchen classes, which is the curriculum for natural nutrition from KalsSchool and takes 10 weeks to complete, with one 2 hour class per week. The current class series is about 1/3 through and then it will be restarted. If you want to get involved with this class, you will need to contact me and get on my list of people to contact for the next series.

As far as I know, there is no comparable class for natural nutrition anywhere in the world and we work hard to keep improving it and increasing our gift of value to you.

Finally, at the end of this 10 weeks, we will also be resuming our natural healing and herbal medicine courses, starting with our Apothecary course. This is particularly valuable because you will not only learnt to understand and effectively use individual and combination herbs, you will also go home with actual products that we make together in class.

These classes are scheduled to resume early in April. In order to get more information about this, you should also contact me through KalsSchool in order to get on the list of contacts so that I can alert you when the final schedule is ready.

These classes are always on Saturday and may be attended concurrently (both the natural nutrition classes and the herbal medicine classes, one after the first on Saturday). They are each approximately 2 hour classes. The apothecary class is part of a 1.5 year curriculum and we plan to offer it again at the end of that time.

So, if you are interested in becoming a natural nutrition or herbal medicine expert, or if you are just interested in being the handiest healer or best healthy chef in your neighborhood or family, contact KalsSchool through the website and ask to be put on the email list for the Nutrition and Cooking classes or the Herbal Medicine classes. Then, I will let you know in time to plan for these life-transforming classes.

Now, back to our subject at hand: Less is More!

Here are a couple peripheral notices about this subject that I just need to free up before continuing:
1. I did not come up with this idea. Today there are groups of people, often living in planned communities, who live off of a basically healthy diet—nothing special—who consume basically half of what they should “need” for daily caloric intake. These groups very quickly go to a disease-free state and definitely outlive their standard-American counterparts. In fact, it is well known and well studied that if you start today and begin slowly starving yourself to death you will live longer than you otherwise would have. Young of studied species who were slightly starved through their developmental years and then allowed to eat as they chose in adulthood lived up to 15% longer!

2. Let me look at the other side of the issue for a moment. I believe that abundance is the natural state of human beings. I believe we should enjoy the rich abundance of the earth with gratitude, faith and peace. I believe we should rejoice in what is offered freely by nature and never look our gift-horse in the mouth, so to speak. I also believe that this abundance is best experienced by those who look beyond their immediate impulses (believing that there will still be enough later) and develop self-control of their immediate indulgent energy in order to secure higher rewards.

Having introduced those notices, we are ready to proceed.

Here are some points that will support the conclusion that I have already given you about the body doing better with less, rather than more:

1. When the body is given too much, it becomes exhausted, overloaded, tired and toxic. It does not digest well, largely because the digestive systems are exhausted from overload.

In this state, a person appears malnourished, but is, in fact, over-nourished in the extreme. Instead of taking a supplement, does it not seem logical to remove the burden first and then selectively feed and nourish and support the systems that really need the extra help?

When concentrated nutrients are pushed on the body, it is true that it can pick up more nutrition for weak cells. However, those concentrated nutrients often attract macro-nutrients that can put on weight, cause cravings for even more food and can actually add additional load to an already overloaded body system.

In my system of healing, I tend to use only whole plant super supplements that contain no isolated nutrients. Lots of nutrients are available, but natural barriers prevent the body from getting more than it is ready to handle.

2. Food is, before and after all else, a stimulant. Each food stimulates the body in some way. With such excess of stimulation the body overpowers the higher faculties of the mind and heart and spirit. In this condition, one finds that s/he has difficulty experiencing his/her authentic self.

That stimulation can be, and is good and useful, but it needs to be withdrawn from us from time to time in order to discover what is authentic about ourselves. In my program, regular fasting or fasting-type cleanses are encouraged as a matter of ritual. During this time the body finds things that can be found in no other way. I am persuaded that it does no small good to the spirit also.

3. From an empirical standpoint, those who clean their bodies out and begin eating foods that do not leave a residue, and at times of day when digestion is at its best find that they can eat less, poop more, feel better and go much further without exhaustion or immune system failure.

4. The leading cause of disease is acidity and residue in the body. This comes only from excess and from clutter that deposits in the body in a thousand different forms. Clean this out and you might still need help to heal this system or that organ, but you will find yourself pain-free and feeling okay.

5. Dr. Christopher used to get his cancer patients pain free in 48 hours by putting them on cleansing herbs (blood herbs and bowel herbs) and a juice fast. He would also give them slippery elm gruel and comfrey green drink—the closest thing to a super supplement that he personally used.

Those patients never got dense nutrition (beyond juices) and never got pain killers. Not all of them lived, some were completely riddled with cancer by the time they called him, but all of those who lived at least 48 hours died pain free with their wits about them, often months after it was predicted that they would die. Very often, his patients recovered completely, never to have a relapse. Clearly, excess is the problem, not deficiency.

6. Cancer starves to death much faster than you can. If you eat basically healthy food but far less than you need, cancer cells will starve to death at an accelerated rate, long before you ever do any kind of damage to yourself. This can sometimes be a cure all by itself, provided that the elimination channels are working as they should be.

In conclusion, most problems appear to be caused by excess, rather than by true deficiency. Even in countries where they are supposedly starving, closer examination by natural healers (you can read about such an instance in Dr. Mom’s Healthy Living by Sandra Ellis—a must for serious herbal students) reveals that parasites, which feed off of food stuffs that could not be fully digested, were the real cause of protein deficiency in many (if not all) of those villages. When people were purged of the parasites, normal health was restored.

Some problems really do need some support and feeding to heal. I have learned, however, that it is all but impossible to determine what the real needs of the human body are while it is overfed. Only when the person goes down to a minimum consumption of the healthiest kinds of foods can that person ever really know what systems and body parts and organs really need to be fed something special.

This is not, of course, an invitation to starve or do something radically harmful to yourself if you have a medical condition. Rather, I recommend following the guidelines of a competent health practitioner and maybe starting with Traci’s Transformational Health Principles and Traci’s Transformational Kitchen Cookbook, which you can read about at www.BestFoodist.com 

When you are ready and your body is beginning to come to life, then is the time to consider a fast, a time of eating less than you think needful and a time of learning about your body and your health and what about you really does need additional help.

When you know, then go to someone who will guide you in truly natural remedies, healing old pain and confusion and fine tuning your thinking. If you want, you can email me, and I will help you.

Thanks for reading.

Until Next Time,

p.s. A Life Changing Moment:
Take time and courage to heal some of the injuries of your past. Use your imagination and speak to your inner child who was taught something confusing and painful that is still affecting your happiness, peace and prosperity today. Feel it with your inner child, now that you are an adult and explain what is really true about that situation to your inner child, so you can both move on in harmony. Usually, this only needs to be done once, in order to be completely free of that pain and confusion.

p.p.s. please go to our Book Distributor and check out my recorded live classes available on audio CD. These are the best classes on herbal medicine and holistic healing that I have ever done and they will give you a great deal of personal health power. Look for disc one and two for some courses to get the whole class.

1. Eat a diet that has very low residue. This means eating foods that digest well and completely. The best instruction manual for this is Traci’s Transformational Health Principles, available through www.bestfoodist.com or on Amazon.com. It follows that things like having cayenne in water 15 minutes before each meal, sipping apple cider vinegar in water with each meal, chewing your food far better and eating light and early for dinner are all very important. It also follows that processed food, which might enter your body without digesting first, is well to avoid. Such undigested residue will feed yeast while leaving your body toxic. Undigested food always feeds disease and starves you.

2. Kill Candida directly. The very best herbal formula for this is Dr. Christopher’s Original Yellow Dock Combination. This original formula is no longer available (the slippery elm version is not nearly as effective), but the recipe can be found on the downloads page of www.kalsschool.com When I use Yellow Dock Combination (YDC), I use the powder and stir it into juice (that is right, juice that theoretically will feed the yeast—of course there is a yeast poison attached) by the spoon full a couple times daily. I also like to use a dropper full of bayberry tincture in an ounce of water two or three times daily (the last time right before bed).

3. Boost natural immune response. This could include a lot of things, including the diet mentioned above (which is really a refined version of the Mucusless Diet of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes). However, the direct approach that I use is an herbal formula that I make up myself called I-Charge. This formula is not available for sale anywhere currently, so you can also get the recipe from my downloads page on www.kalsschool.com I use three droppers of the tincture three times daily in cases of a very weakened immune system. It should be taken on an empty stomach.

Breakouts on the face (especially around the mouth) of pimples;

Eczemas and other dermatosis;

Swelling of lipomas (soft fatty clusters, usually near the sternum of sacrum or in the muscles of the back—though potentially anywhere);

Anger and rage;

Fear and other emotional extremes;

Extreme body-wide discomfort or sensitivity;

Bad breath;

Bloating after every meal;

Fungal infections in the skin.

Heart palpitations

Kidney Weakness or pain

Frequent urination

Nausea

Poor digestion

General weakness (in body OR disposition)

Poor Immune Response

Slow or poor response to a good natural healing program

Clustered or sluggish lymph
