Dr. Louisa Williams<\/a> gave a very interesting talk on Removing the “Obstacles to Cure”. The obstacles that she addressed were petrochemical-laden cosmetics and cleaning products and mercury amalgam fillings and toxic metal crowns. There are other obstacles as well, such as food sensitivities, (for example: dairy and gluten), and focal infections.<\/p>\n Here are some interesting facts:<\/p>\n ~ 1940 to 2000 – 87,000 new chemicals were synthesized in the US alone<\/p>\n ~ New chemicals are invented at a rate of 2000\/year<\/p>\n ~ 1950 – less than 10% of cornfields sprayed with pesticides<\/p>\n ~ 1993 – 99% of cornfields chemically treated with pesticides<\/p>\n According to the National Cancer Institute, as many as 98% of all cancers can be correlated to toxic chemical exposures. And only 5-15% of heart disease and cancer patients can attribute their disease to heredity. Our genes turn on and off with our epigenetic switches ~ from our environment (chemical exposure; diet; stress; exercise; etc).<\/p>\n She feels that because our sanitation is so good now that if petrochemicals hadn’t come into being, our lives would be so much better!<\/p>\n The #1 cause of death in America is allopathic medicine ~ drugs, hospitalizations and surgeries.\u00a0 Wow!<\/p>\n Louisa demonstrated a diagnostic tool called MRT ~ matrix reflex testing. It’s similar to muscle testing but is very sensitive and is an effective tool to determine correct therapies for each patient.<\/p>\n She also showed how it can be used to determine a ‘clean’ product vs one that has many chemicals. She has offered to come to another gathering to teach us how to do self-testing! She says she uses it frequently on herself to find out, for example, which brand of olive oil to buy when she is in the store.<\/p>\n The treatments for these “obstacles to cure” are:<\/p>\n 1. Replace your personal care products with non-toxic ones. Louisa has a “Best Bets List” on her website: www.radicalmedicine.com<\/a>. She also suggested checking out Environmental Working Group: www.ewg.org\/skindeep<\/a><\/p>\n 2. Take an effective binder to efficiently detox.<\/p>\n For mercury amalgam fillings and toxic metal crowns, she suggests having them carefully removed one quadrant at a time by a biological dentist. (Check www.marinnaturopathicmedicine.com<\/a> for recommended SF Bay Area biological dentists and for the “Clean Dental Material List”). It’s important to very carefully detox under the care of a holistic practitioner ~ don’t get constipated (80% mercury is excreted through colon); double the dose of supplements\/herbals; Karack’s oil pulling therapy with sesame oil for 90 seconds; redose your constitutional homeopathic remedy or Arnica 200C and Hypericum 200C; call your doctor if not feeling well.<\/p>\n Thank you Louisa Williams for your very informative and engaging talk!!<\/p>\n By Karen Hamilton-Roth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dr. Louisa Williams gave a very interesting talk on Removing the “Obstacles to Cure”.
