Your Skin is Your Body’s Cancer Chance Report Card…

 

DB here! I would be concerned if I had a history of acne or any skin lesion. Your skin is the report card for how efficient and effective your body is processing all the toxins it is exposed to. Do you have a strategy to clean your body from the inside out? Do you think wearing a pink ribbon on your lapel is going to keep cancer from ruthlessly attacking your body? Has the American Cancer Society given you a logical plan to follow to prevent cancer? Do you think early detection is working? It surely isn’t preventing the problem.

Do you eat conventional meat? Do you drink tap water? Are your breasts tender with your menses? Do you have a heavy menses? Do you eat sugar? Do you want to learn more about preventing CANCER without medications? Many women are choosing to have healthy breasts removed because your mom had cancer!  Do you have a PLAN?

Join me May 30th for an in-depth workshop on Cancer PREVENTION.  Loated near Cleveland OHIO. Fly to CLE, stay at the one of two dozen hotels. Spend the weekend at Cedar Point or one of the Lake Erie Islands. Go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or one of the Several Museums while you’re here.  Go to the West Side Market in the afternoon. Make a day of it. Go to www.druglessdoctor.com for more details. We only have room for 40 attendees total and slots are filling up fast!  See you there! DB

Don’t just ‘Show Me the Beef’, Tell Me What’s IN the Beef!

 

Should it be WHATS IN THE BEEF versus SHOW me the BEEF?

 

DB here! I just read an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal. There was a story on an imported cheese store in NYC that was concerned that the price of cheese from Europe was going to be more expensive because of a new tariff placed on the importing of cheese from the European Union. Do you want to know why? The US is/was retaliating against Europe’s refusal to import American Beef. Conventional American Beef is loaded with hormones and the Europeans do not want it. Guess who is eating eat? We are, let me qualify that; the uniformed public is; I do not eat it, I eat organic.

 

Do you get warm or hot in the evening after meals that have meat as a part of the dinner? If you do, and it is not uncommon it could be the chemicals in your steak or roast beef dinner. If you have tender breasts, a heavy menstrual flow, or if you are a male, and you have swelling in your prostate impairing urine flow – I would make the educated decision to go organic. The chemicals in the products you may be eating can cause an abundance of xenohormones. Organic animal tissue is the only way to go. Also, I would avoid FARM RAISED FISH. Yes you read that right. They use chemicals in fish food to color the flesh and anti-biotics to prevent the fish from getting infections. OK, so what do you do? Stop eating conventional meat, I would minimize going out to eat, where they use processed, tainted meat products. Eat at home, buy the right stuff. DB

What you eat affects your GENES

DB here! I learned some very interesting nuggets at my seminar this weekend. The instructor made a couple of eye opening comments. I want to pass one on to you; we all have genetic potential abnormalities in our bodies that are not manifested yet. What am I saying; I believe from my experience many people have major health challenges because they are choosing food items, under stress or drinking beverages that are compromising their/your immune systems. OK, I will speak to you in English – we all have all the organisms in the world to create sickness and disease (figuratively). We more than likely have altered genes that are in control by the immune system. I am beginning to see especially with people who have cancer, MS, Lupus, and Rheumatoid Arthritis all have some major immune system crisis or series of crises. The most common would be the same factors that create a very acid state. Death or divorce Financial stress Loss of job Moving Poor diet – sugar For some – an abundance of Trans fat, and lack of iodine You may want to get pH paper from our site to check your levels of acid. Most stressed patients tend to be acid. You may not know how much iodine you do or do not have. If you have cold hands and feet, thinning hair, constipation, wide spaced teeth or high cholesterol you may want to get your iodine checked. You may want to get a roll of pH paper to check your pH see the link below. Take your flax oil every day; avoid snack foods – NO SUGAR. I cannot help the other areas in your body, but if you can control what you have power to do, then you have a better chance to stay healthy long term. If you are pregnant you may want to get more minerals in your body, including iodine. DB http://www.druglessdoctor.com/ProductsServices/AdditionalProducts/tabid/244/Default.aspx

Great Party Recipes!

 

DB here! What did you have at your Super Bowl Party? Why don’t you shake it up a bit, and try some real food!!

 

First Recipe: Now, if you have a grille, try some shish-ka-bobs, made with chicken breast, lamb or chicken sausage. Applegate™ has several products that are tasty and healthy. What I would do is this, here is your list of ingredients, green olives with pimentos, they will add some natural salt, cut up red, yellow or orange bell peppers, and they will add some color. Oh, by the way, I use bamboo skewers, the long ones. Large mushrooms, zucchini and the secret weapon, fresh pineapple. But Dr. Bob, you always say pears, plums and apples. Well, since you have been reading the BLOG, I wanted to tell you that when you put a chunk of REAL, not canned pineapple that is fresh, and the heat will dissipate some of the sweetness. It adds real flavor to the kabob. Also, get a large onion, this can be tricky, cut the onion in half and un-peal it layer by layer, so it looks like the skin of an orange. The onion will over lap the veggies. If you use Chicken try Frontier Poultry seasoning it is tasty. Of course you want to use Celtic Sea Salt®. What I also do is get some Braggs Ginger salad dressing. I would par cook the Kabobs for about twenty or thirty minutes at 320 to 350 F. This will get them ready for the grille. I would let them cook up on the grille; move them around so they do not get burned. Mushrooms can get toasty. I would then brush on the Braggs, do not put it on at the beginning. The flavor will permeate the meat and veggies….are you drooling?

 

Second Recipe: We have the kabobs, why don’t you make some Dr. Bob coleslaw. It is easy, get a red cabbage, (my favorite), cut it up with a sharp knife or food processor. Get some Safflower Mayo from Hain®, grate carrots, cut up a Gala apple, you could add some walnuts, or raisins for a switch. Mix it all together, add Celtic Sea Salt.

 

Third Recipe: Let’s try some Rice based macaroni salad. Go to your favorite health food store or conventional store healthy department. Get some Penne Rice pasta, follow the directions, when you are done cooking them, and leave them Aldante like my wife Debbie enjoys, put a table spoon or two of Safflower Mayo on the warm noodles. Rice pasta tends to get hard if you do not throw some fat on them. You can also use butter. Cut up a cucumber, onions, calamata olives, fresh dill or parsley, a hard boiled egg or two. You could put some cut up grilled chicken, for a little protein if you want. You could even add walnuts if you want. The olives add a bit of salt, the fresh herbs are awesome. Do you really want to stretch it a bit? Get some Goat Feta cheese, cube it, add it when you are done mixing everything. Don’t forget the Celtic Sea Salt®. You could add red, yellow or orange bell peppers for color. Radishes are great. The real secret is the FRESH herbs.

 

Fourth Recipe: What about Desert? Well, we have Nanas Cookies in our office; wheat, sugar and dairy free. You may be able to find them at your local market. Pamela’s has rice flour cookies with good oil and no sugar. If you are daring, go to the Healthy Living Link, scroll to recipes, click on deserts and use your imagination. No Plan is a plan to fail. Get out of the rut.

 

I would like to hear from anyone, tell me how it went. Go to www.druglessdoctor.com, and watch the other videos. You can make Brussel Sprouts, squash and even chicken soup. Try stir frying. Use lamb, with some brown rice. Fry you items with Rice oil, or coconut oil.

 

PS: Could you do me a HUGE FAVOR and link here and watch this short video as I explain Natural Chiropractic Healthcare. I really appreciate it……Thank you in advance……Pass this on to a friend. DB

We all know someone who “can’t get pregnant”, don’t we?

 DB here! Infertility is a huge issue today. Some may think couples are waiting to long, others do not know why. From my observation I can tell you from my point there are several reasons for infertility.

 

  1. Low thyroid
  2. Lack of adequate progesterone
  3. Sugar consumption
  4. Stress

 

The thyroid gland acts much like the gas pedal of the body. When the thyroid is not up to par, there will be constipation and congestion in the liver. The thyroid requires iodine. Iodine is not only used by the thyroid but the ovaries. Here is a real stealth issue most are not aware of; bromine, fluorine and chlorine sabotage iodine.  (Found in municipal water, white bread, soda…) 

That is why we complete urine iodine tests on females attempting to get pregnant. Now, someone may become pregnant, then the real issue, how long can they stay with child. The fetus needs enough progesterone to stay in tact. The challenge with sugar and stress, they deplete the adrenal gland. Many think the adrenal gland is insignificant, but every bit of hormone helps. That is also a reason we do the Adrenal Stress Index and Female Hormone Panels. Can I let you in a little known secret; wheat product or items with gluten can create adrenal stress. What does that mean Dr. Bob? Your pastries, cookies, bagels, Kaiser rolls, hamburger buns, Danish etc. can be a possible cause why you may have adrenal exhaustion and not be able to get pregnant or stay with child. One last item, I have noticed patients with progesterone issues have a greater chance to get chronic degenerative conditions like MS or rheumatoid arthritis. All of this is help-able and preventable. I would encourage you to tell your family or friends, also read my Hormone book, and even complete a Maestro. I have seen a tremendous response by making a few easy changes. DB

That’s Life

Click HERE to watch my most recent appearance on That’s Life with Robin Swoboda. 

You’ll be glad you did!

DB here!! Hello everyone, I would like to thank my son Dominic and wife Deb for typing the last two days.  It started last Thursday with a pain in my wrist.  I though I may have strained the tissues working with some patients. I took some products I normally would for a strain.  Two days later the pain was still there, with slight swelling, and a warm sensation.  I thought it may be bug bite!! I started taking a few different products from the office.  By Monday, the swelling in my hand/arm increased with more redness.  I discussed the situation with a nurse friend and went over the history, decided to take a anti-histamine and cortisone cream.  The final diagnosis today, after 25 gram of Vitamin C take via a drip bag, plus some other nutrients, and a med, the redness has subsided.  There is pain on the right lateral aspect of the wrist, I had extensive discussion conversation with my medical friend, and we came to the conclusion because of the localized containment of the lesion it is an insect bite, probably a spider.  I am typing this with a brace on my right hand.  I would just like to suggest, if you do have redness, and swelling and pain, monitor it closely.  I have been taking supplements all along, and the spreading of the redness was contained on its own, which was a blessing.  I am doing very well, and have taken it a bit easy because I need my wrist to see patients and to type to you all.  I take Agrisept-L ten drops a day, plus I take Collagen C which is 100mg of pure whole food C daily.  I do not eat sugar.  I know some of you may have had pain like this that could create a hospitalization for a week.  Just wanted you to know what is up. 

Go to www.myfoxcleveland.com, and  watch the program I had today with Robin Swaboda on Thats Life, you will love the nuggets you will learn. DB

Change? Yes you can!

DD here – in other words it is Debbie today!. DB has a hand injury and I will be filling in for a few days until his hand has more mobility – any prayers are appreciated – especially for strength, and healing virtue! Now, back to business. Yes, there is change in the air – and the only way to make a difference in your health is to make a commitment to CHANGE! One thing people always say to us is that it is so hard – but it is not, it is just different than the norm you have grown accustom to. The whole idea is making a new norm for yourself. Often people ask “what do you guys eat”. I think they think we do some unusual things that are unheard of. We both start the morning with a half of apple – I choose a bit of almond butter on mine to help me with some protein and also a bit of fat. I know that I need good oil – my body just lets me know – esp. during times close to my period starting – and yes, at 54 I still have a period – you know that the longer you have it – this is a good sign for cleansing health. Anyway, DB has carrots and sometime cucumbers with his apple and then a nut salad and other protein – like Applegate turkey to keep him thru the morning. We have a power salad for lunch – from mixed greens and spinach to tomatoes and cucs with cauliflower and broccoli – and cabbage – usually red, with whatever fresh herb we have around the house. I choose to put my flax seed oil on my salad and he uses a Braggs dressing. Dinner when there is just the two of us consists of a protein and veggies – brown rice or a whole wheat pasta is a treat. Bread isn’t even normally in our home! Maybe a brown rice tortilla, it is what you get used to – and what foods you know feed your body…. OK – more tomorrow. Have a wonderful night… DD

Foods that improve your appearance?!

 DB here!! I am preparing for a program on “That’s Life” in Cleveland this week.  It will be on, Thursay morning, check it out Thursday afternoon at, www.MyFoxCleveland.com, link to “That’s Life”, it should be there for you to watch.  Anyway, when I was investigating the nuggets for my segment I discoverd these other tips for you.  I know you will find them fascinating. 

 Oregano, thyme and parsley

10 Foods That May Improve Your Appearance // Parsley 

“If you have puffy bags under your eyes in the morning, you are almost certainly consuming much more salt than you need,” says Doris Day, M.D., author of Forget the Facelift: Turn Back the Clock with a Revolutionary Program for Ageless Skin (Avery, 2005). “Another problem is alcohol: It dehydrates you and can make your skin sag. The worst combination is alcohol and salt, which causes puffy dark circles under your eyes.” Dr. Day recommends reducing your sodium intake to eliminate bloating. Instead of salt, season your meals with herbs and spices such as oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley and garlic.

Deb and I have parsley on our mixed green salad every day. Here is a nugget, wrap you parsley with paper towel after it has been dried on your counter. Do not put it in your refrigerator damp.  The paper towel will absorb the remaining moisture, and it will stay for three weeks or so. You can put the parsley in warm water with lemon.  Also, do you know that oregano and parsley are pernnials, and you can actually pick them year round?   Bake a garlic by cutting off the top with a sharp knife, get a crock garlic baking dish with a cover.  Cover the garlic and put a bit of water on the bottom, bake at 350F until you smell the fragrance.  Squeeze the garlic cloves and add to your spelt bread or other sauteed foods.  Also, I do suggest Celtic Sea Salt in place of conventional table salt. It is very healthy. DB

Slow the Aging Process, Fast! – Part 2

DB here!! OK, you read the earlier nugget and started drinking more water; right? I would not drink distilled water myself. It tends to deplete the body of critically needed minerals. You need minerals to assist the flax oil in making prostaglandin number three which takes away inflammation. I suggest you use Celtic Sea Salt® liberally (replace your conventional table salt). Vitamin C is very important for the creation of collagen. As you know or know now collagen is important for skin health.

I have found a source of vitamin C that will not cause cold sores or fibromyalgia: Are you ready for this? Red, yellow and orange bell peppers. Eat at least one half of one a red, yellow or orange bell pepper each day. Cut one up and put it in a sealed container along with your half of an apple, and four or five baby carrots. Do you want to know a little known nugget? Of course you do!  If you get indigestion with green bell peppers it may be that your gall bladder/liver mechanics are off. If this is the case you should be eating a half of an apple every day, or get some milk thistle or dandelion root from our web site (www.druglessdoctor.com). Those two items help the liver gall bladder flow. Now, this is really important: your skin needs collagen. Do you want to know a great source of collagen food precursor that you can get in the grocery store? Read the nugget tomorrow… :)

Eggs, NOT EGG NOG!

DB here!! Well it is the day before Christmas Eve and most are scurrying around trying to get some last minute food items and gifts I am sure. Traditionally we make a huge batch of scrambled eggs on Christmas morning. Eggs are a great source of sulfur and protein. The egg yolk has lecithin in it which emulsifies the fat and cholesterol, much like dishwashing detergent. We also fry up some chicken sausage. I would suggest organic chicken sausage. I would much rather you have eggs and sausage then pastries and doughnuts. I fondly call doughnuts, “torpedoes” of death. You can also poach eggs. They are really easy to do, drop a dash of vinegar in the water and plop the egg in, let in cook a minute or so. You will know when it is ready. I would not drink eggnog. You are drinking instant calories, 250 per cup. OK one last nugget. I am making Turkey for Christmas Eve; I will sauté onions and celery today for the stuffing I will mix together tomorrow morning. I boil the neck in reverse osmosis water, and use the water from the boiling to add to the stuffing. I am going to add some raisins tomorrow just for the heck of it, maybe grind a few walnuts. Did you get your chestnuts? I will be cooking up some of those also. Check out the video. One last thing, Debbie just did four videos on cooking. Click HERE to check them out. We have rice oil, which we can send to you. It is light and tastes great. Try something different to eat this Christmas time. How about some kale, cut it up, dash some olive oil in, and throw it into a frying pan that you all ready have onions and mushrooms sautéing. Let me know what you try. Sweet potatoes are also…..very tasty. DB
