New Year, New You! Understanding Detox in 2014

It's a New Year which means a New You right?

There is so many detox programs and diets to follow these days so how do you know which one is right?

I don't want to talk about other detox programs, weight loss or multi level marketing companies and what they should and shouldn't be doing. I can assure you though that true cellular detox is not an easy fix if you do it the right way. It takes time.. its takes patience and lastly & most importantly it takes prayer!

True cellular detox, weight loss, hormone regulation begins with the 5 R's...

Removing The Interference
Regenerating the Cell Membrane
Restoring Cell Energy
Reduce Inflammation/Oxidative Stress
Reestablish Methylation


If you want to detox the right way you must understand TRUE CELLULAR DETOX! There is a lot of companies out there today pushing 10 day cleanses with supplements, foot bathes and more. How do you know what works? I can assure you that an inexpensive detox in a box isn't going to get you well the right way.

Watch the video below for understanding True Cellular Detox":



Changing the way you eat is such an important factor for true cellular detox. You need to avoid inflammatory foods and eat foods that are high in good fats.

Still heavy metal detoxing

It has been some time since I detoxed heavy metals and I started another round yesterday (11/23/12) of DMSA every 3-4 hours at 100mg. What a mess I still am! I can't tell you that since I started that I felt better, I wish I could and at times I do but this round of detox is rough. There were times yesterday I felt like crawling out of my skin and other times I had moments of feeling amazing so give or take it's been a rough 2 days thus far but yet thankful for God’s grace to keep pushing on. It's been long overdue and I probably shouldn't have waited this long to get back on which is why I am probably having more symptoms than usual. For first time readers, heavy metal detox has its ups/downs. For example my mom just started a round as well and she feels great! Her vision has improved her sleep and her overall wellbeing and mood has drastically changed in 48 hours. I am probably moving a lot of metal around right now, which is why I am experiencing more symptoms. Remember when you have all your amalgams removed your brain starts releasing metals. It usually holds onto them but when all amalgams have been removed something in your brain realizes this and your brain starts to release these metals into your body. The symptoms I started having back again (past few months that just kept on getting worse) were painful migraines (not necessarily more migraines just more painful ones), bad menstrual cycles (painful cramps), really bad PMS, and not a day where I felt really good. I was going for a couple months where I felt really great and then I just started to have less and less of those days again. I also plateaued with weight loss (what else is new!) despite diet and exercise. Also the ones around you the most will start to tell you that it's time to get back on detox. Its amazing how they see a difference in you and they may know nothing about detox but they know you must get back on. haha. Mood swings of rollercoasters is usually a big sign for me! (sorry to those who I affected, much love & appreciation to you for knowing and loving me so much to guide me and be a light!) It's amazing how many people out there suffer from these symptoms yet run right to medications, over the counter medications or worse surgery to fix an issue that requires a simple concept of removing the interference and allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Thanksgiving just passed and I am so thankful for the people God has placed in my life to lead me down the right path in getting well. I know it may seem crazy to some of you. At first, I had thought the same thing but really and honestly after being to so many doctors this is the only things that has helped me and transformed my life. Yes, it’s a hard road to go down but the results outweigh anything else I have ever tried. Also quick note for anyone who is just reading this for the first time: Proper protocols need to be followed prior to ANY amalgam removal. Proper detoxification also needs to be followed as well. Please just don't attempt this yourself without consulting with a detoxification specialist first. If you have any symptoms below you should consider starting heavy metal detoxification. I will warn you though; once you start this process you can't just stop. It needs to be followed consistently especially if you are just starting out. It's not an easy process but I can assure you, if you suffer from any symptoms below you probably need to detox. Starting in January I will be offering a heavy metal detoxification program. You must not have any amalgam fillings to participate in this class. This class will go over the proper detox protocols, understanding detox pathways, how to support those pathways and more during heavy metal detox. We will also go over the big question "How long does one have to detox for?" The program is $300/per person which includes 3 group consultations and unlimited email support during the 3 month detox. You can pay $100/per month each time we meet if you'd like. Supplements are NOT included in that price. If you do not live in Pittsburgh and live out of state or area I can have Skype available if you'd like to participate. This will start January 17th and we will meet at 8pm (EST) but you must RSVP (only 10 spots available) by January 11 by emailing me heatherhosilyk@yahoo.com. You must email me if you want your spot saved and you must be amalgam free! If you are experiencing any symptoms below you should consider my group program: Anxiety Chronic Fatigue Socially Withdrawn Is Easily Irritable Candida (itchy ears & other places) Shows Aggressive Behavior ADD/ADHD symptoms-hard time concentrating/staying focused Has Frequent Nightmares Has Problems Sleeping Has Mood Swings Memory Loss Insomnia Gastrointestinal problems, such as constipation, diarrhea, poor appetite, or weight loss/gain

Happy New Year

It's been a long time since I last blogged and I have been wanting to write to you all but time has gotten the best of me. I wanted to give an update on my detoxification progress thus far. I took a break from DMSA for a while because I felt really good but then I started getting more frequent migraines and painful menstrual cycles again.

I recently started taking DMSA the past 2 months and every time I do a round (4 days on 10-15 days off) my migraines aren't as bad and my menstrual cycles are not as painful. I am not doing anything different then before, just continuing to support my kidneys and my liver on off-cycles and taking a multivitamin and fish oils along with Vitamin D. I also stay regularly adjusted by my chiropractor which helps a lot.

I use to feel really good when I went on a round of DMSA but this last round I could not wait to come off. I hear that symptoms can can be different each cycle with how you feel good or bad. I just didn't feel like myself this last round of DMSA and I felt all out of sorts. It scares me when I get feelings like that because I fear of going back to where I was 4 years ago. Good news, when I was sick 4 years ago that feeling was 10x worse then the feeling I experience now. I also had a bit of anxiety which I haven't had in a long time but again it was not as bad as it was 4 years ago when I was originally sick. I was able to push through it with prayer and it was on/off in a matter of no time. Where before, it would stick around for a few hours or even days. I call those spells "bad butterflies" because that is exactly what it feels like.

I am excited to share that my irregular menstrual cycles and hormones seem to get better every time I detox but I am also discouraged a bit hoping I would have been done by now. I think I have at least another year left of detox if not 2. I understand it takes time and I also know God has purpose in this.

The main reason I wanted to blog is because I am hoping it may encourage anyone that may have taken a break or had been discouraged at some point in their detox. Hang in there and keep pushing through,the end results are worth it! I don't know what I would do without prayer, friends, family and of course my main support God and His word. I also want to encourage any women out there with hormone issues at any age. Heavy metal toxicity is no joke and is half the reason women today have issues with their hormones. You hear a lot about thyroid disorders and issues in women. Heavy metals, particularly mercury, love the thyroid and pituitary gland. Your thyroid and pituitary gland is like your control tower for your hormones. My suggestion if you haven't already, get tested right away. I will state that this process is not easy, detoxing heavy metals, but is it worth it-yes! I have been drug free for over 6 years now, and getting healthier and healthier as time passes by-it is worth it! And every little step I take, I get better. Remember, anything that is good for you is always hard work. This process is hard work, and it takes dedication, time, patience and yes moments of not feeling so well. But every little step you begin to take to improve your body the right way, the better you will feel and results are priceless!

So hang in there to all of you are detoxing and saying to yourself "when am I ever going to get better!?" ...and don't make 2012 full of resolutions that last the first week in January, create a list of goals & make the effort to make your goals lifestyle changes and stay focused. The results from lifestyle changes are more effective long term. If you need a coach to help you through this or even get started I can help.

I will be teaching a few classes into the New Year at The Natural Center for Health (www.tnc4health.com). Group classes on Cellular Healing Dieting and Paleo Dieting & Elimination Dieting. If you are interested please contact me so I can get you more information on dates, times, and cost.

Happy New Year!

DMSA Round 20

It's amazing how you know when you need to start detoxing again!

So many bizarre symptoms, ulcers in mouth, weight not moving no matter how hard I work out or how many days of the week I work out. My menstrual cycle off, my sleep off, my gut... ohhh don't let me get started with my gut!
Bloated, constipated, diarrhea not to often but hey it happens. Gas, just feeling like nothing is moving.
Day 3 of DMSA and I finally feel better. I slept a lot this round.
I have this weird feeling behind my left eye. It kind of feels like when you have a sinus infection and you have all this sinus pressure. It's like a headache behind my eye. When I move my neck or hit trigger points it feels better. So it's definitely neurological and we know that heavy metals are neurotoxins-toxins that attack the nervous system.

Day 3 I woke up at 3am to go to the bathroom and then couldn't seem to get back to sleep but I eventually did. Then I slept in. Woke up feeling good but still tired and hard to get out of bed but overall good.

Tomorrow is Day 4 and I am going to stick it out for the entire day of Day 4-pushing to Day 5, which is the most that I've ever been able to stay on thus far! I am totally in God's hands and that is the best part about all this. He is watching over me and healing me.

This is the 1st round every I have felt this good-THANK YOU LORD-Amen to the Road Back to Health! It's all a matter of time and allowing the body to do the healing from here on out!

Merry Christmas

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has left special footprints on my heart these past few years. Thank you to all who have blessed me this year alone. This past year has been an incredible journey with bumpy roads and ups and downs yet God is still so good through it all. Sometimes all it takes is a smile or an email or text message to create such joy. Or how about a conversation with someone you love to make the day brighter.

It's incredible how 1 son born to this world has sacrificed His life for me and you. It brings many tears to my eyes as I type this for all He has done for me- He is Christ our Lord. He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. Luke 1:49-50 This is Mary's reference to the virgin birth which we need to celebrate every day, not just this time of year.

THANK YOU JESUS ... THANK YOU FOR CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Heather

Watch this beautiful video below to be reminded of the reason for this season!

To perfume or not to perfume?

The skin is the largest organ in the human body.One of it's primary functions is involved in the body's immune system.It acts as a an anatomical barrier from pathogens.Why would a healthy person want to bypass this important part of their immune system with an injection of a pathogen(and other toxic substances) directly into their circulatory system?

Did you know the word "fragrance" alone consists of 500-800 chemicals, which are carcinogens, neurotoxins, aldehydes, phenols, phthalates, ethanol, and the list is almost endless. None of the fragrance chemicals have ever been tested for safety, and they qualify as hazardous waste. It’s not just about air fresheners it’s about the ingredient “fragrance.” The worst part about today’s chemicals and products is that they do not even list the ingredients.

Most everything that says "fragrance" is typically produced synthetically-usually anything marketed to make something "smell good". This includes both cleaning supplies and air fresheners. A recent government report targeted these fragrances of 1 of 6 categories of chemicals that should be given the highest priority for neurotoxicity, testing along with insecticide, heavy metals, solvents, food additives, and air pollutants. Eight-four percent of the ingredients used in fragrances have never been tested for human toxicity, or have only minimal testing. These chemicals cause neurological damage, multiple-chemically sensitivity and increased immune response.

I use to wear perfume, use lotions from all those bath and body places, have those tree air fresheners in my car plus different glad plug ins in my home along with burning candles of every scent. I didn't know then what I know now and I didn't know the reason behind why I didn't feel good. I just thought it was just certain health issues and that was who I was. Air fresheners aren't the only reason I was sick but they added onto my burden of the other things.

I still use lotion (healthy and non-toxic lotions) and I even have an essential oil perfume I use from Whole Foods from time to time. Beeswax candles with non-lead wicks are what I use when I want to burn candles. I am just more cautious now and read the ingredients of everything I put on my skin and body.

Tip: Ladies when you buy beauty products, perfumes, lotions, research the ingredients and take it a step further and research the word "fragrance" and make sure its essential oils if you are making a switch. A lot of products today say "organic" and still use fragrance which is not good! I say this a lot in my blogs but please take note just because it says organic doesn't mean it is any better for you!

Ladies to research your beauty products go to this website and see what's in your lotions and make up. You want to stay under 5. 1 or 2 is best.

Understanding Neurotoxicity

One of my biggest challenges is trying to explain an illness to my family and friends that is not like any other illness approved in allopathic medicine.

My goal in this part of my blog is to break down to the best of my ability what happened to me in an easy to understand kind of way so everyone can hopefully understand why I am going through what I'm going through and why my goals are set to where they are set with health. I have both scientific backing and examples to help everyone understand below what is going on in Neurotoxic individuals.

A Neurotoxin is simply something that is "toxic" to our neurological system. ie: heavy metals, biotoxins such as mold, fibromyalgia, lyme, other infections or nerve stress such as physical trauma, emotional trauma, spinal misalignment's.

Your nervous system controls every part of your body. Hence why I am so passionate about ANYTHING that interferes with our nervous system.

Did you know that our bodies do not know the difference between emotional trauma, physical trauma and chemical stress? Isn't that interesting? Trauma is trauma, that's all our bodies know.

So what happens to our bodies when our bodies are faced with "trauma"?

Nitric Oxide + Superoxide = cellular oxidation & INFLAMMATION= drop in ATP (brain fog, poor digestion, etc) and glutathione. When this happens there is an increase in NMDA (NMDA is released through glutamate receptors which are most abundant in the brain and upper spinal cord.) Glutathione is a substance naturally produced by the human body through the synthesis of certain amino acids in the liver. It's also used by virtually every cell of the body to neutralize toxins.

What is NMDA? NMDA is a glutamate receptor, is the predominant molecular device for controlling synaptic plasticity and memory function. Activation of NMDA receptors causes the spinal cord neuron to become more responsive to all of its inputs, resulting in central sensitization. NMDA-receptor antagonists, such as dextromethorphan, can suppress central sensitization. NMDA-receptor activation not only increases the cell's response to pain stimuli, it also decreases neuronal sensitivity to opioid receptor agonists.

If you don't understand the science above, really all you need to understand is "INFLAMMATION" and that it causes disease.

What is inflammation? Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants.
Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement of plasma and leukocytes (especially granulocytes ) from the blood into the injured tissues. A cascade of biochemical events propagates and matures the inflammatory response, involving the local vascular system, the immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue. Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation, leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation and is characterized by simultaneous destruction and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.

Example 1: A person gets in a auto accident and ends up with fibromyalgia. WHY? The abnormal amounts of NMDA which feeds into an already stressed system causes this to occur which ultimately causes an abundance of INFLAMMATION-chronic inflammation.

Inflammation wrecks havoc in so many ways. Ultimately the main goal is getting to the "CAUSE" as to why a person is chronically inflamed and avoiding things that cause more inflammation in the process.

What causes more inflammation when a person is already chronically inflamed?
Grains, Sugars, more stress (emotional, toxic, nerve).

Examples of trauma:

Emotional Trauma=death in family
Physical Trauma or nerve stress=car accident
Heavy Metals=vaccinations, amalgam fillings, metals from mom, environments, etc.
Biotoxins=Mold, Infections, Lyme


Example 2: So you have someone who has 13 amalgams in their mouth which started being drilled in at age 9 along with emotional trauma, along with nerve stress along with toxins from mom (by the way whatever mom has carries onto baby) along with bad diet, along with more emotional trauma, environmental toxins, and more fillings and you have a sick patient who starts developing, GI issues, gallbladder issues, overweight, sleep issues, anxiety, etc.

So what did the medical community do in this case? They wanted to remove the gallbladder, prescribe prescription medication, vaccinate them because it's been a long time since they've received up-to-date vaccinations and send them on their way instead of getting to the cause.
That was a simple version of what happened to me.
