Re: Intro & Raw Milk Source Suggestions-supplements

Filippa,

Unfortunately I haven't unpacked all the way from moving yet, and

my copy of Rubin's book doesn't seem to be with the rest of my

health and cooking books. Also, his protocol varies a little

depending on the illness you have. For CFS, which I had, it was

pretty extensive. I've graduated from some of it, so I don't know if

I can remember the original protocol exactly, but I'll give it a go.

AM: Perfect Food (a fermented green drink) and SuperSeed (a

fermented fiber drink)- I added a shake with Goatein protein

powder later

Before breakfast: 6 Primal Defense, 3 RM10, 3 FYI (for your

inflammation)

With meals: Omegazyme enzymes

Before bed: Perfect Food and SuperSeed and 6 Primal Defense,

3 RM10, 3 FYI

Diet: eat the NT way, esp. chicken soups/broths, coconut oil,

smooties with raw eggs and raw goat yoghurt.

As well as recovering from CFS, I was recovering from 9 months

on high doses of Prednisone, and was at risk of losing my vision

in my right eye (steroids weren't helping). My hormones function

was almost nonexistent when I got off of them. Low adrenal,

Low thyroid, my pituitary (I think... could be a different gland) was

shut down and wasn't signalling them to release hormones.

That's a common effect from steroids, and it's hard to get it to

switch back on. In fact, it's so dangerous to have surgery after

getting off steroids for over a year that they would have to put you

back on them in order to survive the surgery. (no healing

hormones).

Despite the lowest health of my life, within months of the protocol

people were commenting on the color in my cheeks, and how

much healthier I looked. I have NEVER had color in my cheeks

or lips without makeup. The only day I spend on the couch (a

common occurence before) is once/month when I get cramps!

To recover from the hormone imbalances I took licorice extract,

dessicated adrenal, thyroid cream, pregnenolone, and DHEA.

Not necessarily all at the same time. I used muscle testing to

determine what I needed when. It was a little scary, since some

of these had warnings about not taking them before the age of

40, but I listened to what my body wanted, and the difference in

my health is amazing.

I have taken supplements in the past (lots and lots), and they

never really seemed to help much. They also upset my stomach

and made me burp. GofL never did this. It was interesting that

muscle testing led me to hormone supplements that absorbed

through the skin or under the tongue mostly. Because you can't

assimilate what you can't digest! I believe Gof L (and Standard

Process, which has great supplements) were the first

supplements I could actually digest.

It's worth it to get the book, Patient Heal Thyself. If you're in the

U.S., health food stores give them away with a purchase of

Primal Defense. Lot's of online vendors do the same. I collect

them to give away to people with chronic illnesses that I meet.

The protocol is expensive AND extensive, so desperate and ill

people are probably the only ones who are going to be willing to

try it.

BTW, as soon as I started the protocol, the lesion on my retina

went inactive, which 4 months of Prednisone could not

accomplish. I believe vit. A deficiency was a huge factor in my

eye disease (I can't convert beta-carotene to A- carrots make me

turn orange). Also around the time my eye started to heal, I was

craving pescado frito, fish fried with the head on (fish heads

great for eye health!). Previously thought eating something with

eyeballs was GROSS. Muscle testing said I needed to eat liver

(this was before I even made the vit. A connection and I was

surprised by this answer). I told my eye surgeon I was eating

liver and he told me not to eat too much because it was

dangerous! And Prednisone, one of the most devastating drugs

out there, isn't? LOL.

Anyway, sorry so long. I'm afraid I'm a bit passionate on this

subject...

Hope this answered your questions, OK, Filippa.

what supplements did you find most helpful? Also, is it possible

to give a brief outline of Rubin's protocol?
