Natural Remedies That Harm, #9 Fermented Foods

4/24/2015

Well, it is obvious now that I don't want to be popular. My blog is less than 18 months old and in that time I have offended all across the board. Come to find out, people are very passionate and dedicated to the natural remedies they love. In my short time blogging I have enraged essential oil lovers (and I teach advanced aromatherapy), alienated people turned off by Christianity (and I love people and to hear about what they believe), and in this series alone have managed to distance myself from holistic families and practitioners who abide by 10 different practices (that actually work while secretly harming you) including:
coffee enemas
apple cider vinegar
honey
probiotics
fungus (mushrooms)
algae (blue-green, chlorella, spirulina)
lard and
bone broth
Next up: fermented food. 

Why do I say things people don't like about their remedies?  It is because I care. I mean, really, it does not change my life what you wash your colon with, if you eat fungus, or drink vinegar. It would be a lot safer to keep quiet about those things and bite my tongue while just promoting vegetables and writing about vaccine dangers. But the thing is, I can't. I really do love people. I am passionate about health. And after learning New Biology (TM) and watching people spring back to life while half in the grave set me on fire to help as many people and as many families as I can. One thing I do know: the blood does NOT lie. If you do practice any of these, find yourself a pH Miracle Certified Nutritional Microscopist and go look at your own blood. They can show you exactly how awesome (or in the case you do these things often, not so awesome) it looks. You can prove it to your own self. I share because I care. It would profit me far more to not mention these things. 

So here it goes...

#9 Fermented Foods
Huge among raw foodies and real foodies alike. What are they? Foods that have been soured by bacteria feeding on the sugars, creating lactic acid. The foods are rich in probiotics and preserved by the fermenting process also. They include kombucha, sauerkraut, tempeh, kefir, miso, cheese (including many raw, vegan nut cheeses), yogurt (vegan and non), and others as well.

1. Help digestion (because it is partly broken down and rich in enzymes that are thought to help digestion) also thought to increase nutrient absorption
2. Gut bacteria  (probiotic content) We already covered that entire topic here, so I will just skip to the other reason: it has already started breaking down so it is easier to digest, which brings us back to reason #1. We can really boil this into 2 reasons people do it, but I have even seen these 2 spread out into 8 reasons. 
3. They don't spoil as quickly

I'll respond to that with New Biology(TM) 101, part 2:
Only our teeth "digest" or break down food. The entire alimentary canal is an alkaline buffering system. The different organs along the path either produce liquids to buffer acids eaten (salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder), absorb nutrients from the food (small and large intestines), or eliminate waste (colon, rectum). If you really want to absorb the most nutrients from your already broken down food that is actually alkaline and will give your body rest while restoring health, drink a green shake or blended alkaline soup. 
Not having something spoil quickly is not a strong argument for health consumption. Just think of the "foods" that don't spoil - they are usually the butt of a joke, not endorsed for benefits. It is actually the alcohol created from the sugar breakdown by the bacteria that is preserving the fermented food. Alcohol in any form is extremely acidic and toxic and will not benefit your health whatsoever, but rather is more likely to cause cancer than cure you of anything.

​Gut health is extremely important, and I am 100% all for getting the gut healthy and all that does for the brain and rest of the body. I just do it in a way that won't sour your blood and tissues down the road. 

Can anyone guess #10?



The following is an example of what we see in blood in a person that drinks ferments. You might not know what you are looking at but it's gross.

We Need To Talk About Tetanus

We need to talk about Tetanus. 

Here are some basic facts about tetanus: it is treatable, rarely deadly, and the person actually has to have a deep puncture wound not only with rusted metal but also with infected farm animal fecal matter that has the bacteria. 

Tetanus is an anaerobic bacteria which dies in the presence of oxygen. If there was a deep puncture wound, generally from stepping on a rusty nail infected with the bacteria from cow, sheep, or pig manure, the bacteria could contaminate the blood stream. Wound care alone can prevent or eliminate the risk of tetanus. Milking the wound to make sure it bleeds well to rid the body of any possible contamination is key. A great way to do this is with warm water over the sink. I would do it for 10 minutes at least. Also, applying hydrogen peroxide will deliver oxygen to the wound and kill the bacteria. 

Vaccination for tetanus begins at 2, 4, and 6 months of age. These children are not even walking, let alone around manure and rusty nails. The reason we introduce it to babies is because in third-world countries where instruments are not sterilized to cut the umbilical cord, tetanus among infants is more common. 

If someone does get a deep, dirty puncture wound it takes 2 weeks for the spore to germinate into the bacteria and release the toxin, so they could get the vaccine after the injury if they wanted to. The diagnosis is entirely clinical. There are no blood tests or other tests to confirm it, it is based on suspicion and symptoms. I have heard stories in which people who scratched themselves with something metal in an area where neither feces or tetanus could live experience tightness in their jaw. I have also heard of stories where people afraid of freezing to death actually froze to death in warm situations because the merely thought they were freezing. Don’t underestimate the power of fear in how our body responds. I wonder how many cases of tetanus really were cases of fear? Tetanus is treated with antibiotics.

Recovery can take several weeks to several months. If there is an actual infection, the survival rate is about 87%. Between 2001 and 2008, 233 cases of tetanus occurred in the US, of those 13% were fatal. Vaccine status was only reported for 39.5%. Of those, 60% had been vaccinated against tetanus anywhere from 1 time, to as many as 4 times. So, you can STILL get tetanus even when you are fully vaccinated for it!

Another problem with the vaccine is that kids don't get vaccinated with just tetanus, they get DTaP which also has diphtheria and pertussis. Pertussis vaccine recipients can develop and/or spread whooping cough from the vaccine.

Here are the DTaP vaccine ingredients straight from the CDC website: 

DTaP (Daptacel)
aluminum phosphate, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, 2-Phenoxyethanol, Stainer-Scholte medium, modified Mueller’s growth medium, modified Mueller-Miller casamino acid medium (without beef heart infusion), dimethyl 1-beta-cyclodextrin, ammonium sulfate


DTaP (Infanrix)
formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, aluminum hydroxide, polysorbate 80, Fenton medium (containing bovine extract), modified Latham medium (derived from bovine casein), modified Stainer-Scholte liquid medium

No matter which version you get, you are injecting aluminum and formaldehyde into the body. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. Polysorbate 80 is a solvent that also causes cancer and is used in the vaccines to make sure the aluminum passes the blood-brain barrier. This causes brain inflammation and heavy-metal poisoning. 

Package inserts also list these side-effects for DTaP (not all are immediately seen): 

Serum-sickness 
all joints painful 
headache
nausea
vomiting
cardiac arrhythmias
tachycardia
syncope (fainting)
cranial nerve paralysis
neurological complications
seizures
encephalopathy
anaphylaxis
and Guillian-Barre' Syndrome…

"People who experience severe reactions most likely have high serum tetanus anti-body levels due to excess vaccination.” (1)

Are you more afraid of tetanus or the vaccine for it?
