How to Manipulate, and Correctly Interpret, Your Blood Tests

How To Manipulate, and Correctly Interpret, Your Blood Tests

Blood tests are a horrible way to measure the health of your bowel and body, and as such, they are a very dangerous tool for assessing your health, as well as your progress with this program! (In fact, I keep threatening that in the future I will not work with clients who insist on having these done!)

Blood tests are a measurement of your body’s reaction to un-eliminated acids.* They reflect the amount of acids in your blood, but they do NOT reflect the strength of your bowel, or the amount of acids stored in your organs—leading to disease and death. They measure the “amount of trash in the middle of your kitchen.” They do not measure how many holes are in your trashcan or how much trash is stored in your kitchen cabinets or closets.

Your blood tests could be misleadingly good if your bowel is super unhealthy and you eat a high protein, low cleansing diet that keeps the acids in your organs. Your kitchen could look very misleadingly clean if you have tons of trash stuffed into your kitchen cabinets and closets. On the other hand, if six months into this program you have 25% fewer “holes in your trashcan”—i.e. a stronger bowel bacterial environment, and you have 25% fewer acids (or trash) in your organs (or kitchen cabinets), but you take too much bentonite, or two to three days before the test you eat a lot of fruit or less protein than before you started this program, your body will dump more acids into your blood then you can eliminate and your blood test will look bad—even though YOU ARE HEALTHIER!!! If you clean a big pile of trash out of your closets and dump it into your kitchen—more trash than you have space in your stronger trashcan for--your kitchen will be a mess. For a doctor, or you, to then conclude that you, or your house, is worse or less healthy than before is entirely wrong.

Your blood test has absolutely ZERO correlation to the health of your bowel or body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Until your bowel and body are super healthy, your blood tests will be bad if you eat a cleansing diet or take the wrong amount of bentonite.

If you do these lousy tests and they are worse than before, you are not less healthy than before!! In 95% of the cases this means that you have reduced your protein intake too quickly (you guys keep doing this against my very urgent advice that you not do this!), or that you are taking too much bentonite and moving old acids into your blood faster than you can eliminate them (ie your stools are worse in form than they were on day one, a situation you are told to correct by me, or in Chapter 8 of my book.)

How much of the Bowel Strength or acidophilus you tolerate is a key indication of the health of your bowel bacterial environment, and pH tests are a key indication of the health of your organs. These “tests” give you an accurate, and safe!, measurement of your health.

You have a much greater chance of healing your bowel and body if you choose not to have these tests done.

To manipulate your blood test levels—if you still insist on having these horrible tests done—take 3,000 mg of calcium citrate the day before, and day of, your test, eat a high protein, low carbohydrate diet the day before your test, and take the right amount of bentonite that results in perfectly well-formed stools, and NEVER get these tests done if your stools have been loose, soft, or more than 1x/day and NOT 100% perfectly formed!

Finally, when a variable on a blood test comes out too high, it means you need MORE of that nutrient, etc., not less! For example, if your TSH levels are too high, your doctor will prescribe MORE thyroid hormones, not less. Why they can’t figure this out with other variables is beyond me, but clearly they haven’t, so you must take this into your hands. Time and again, if a client’s iron levels, or calcium levels, etc come back elevated on a blood test, these are brought back into normal range with larger amounts of iron and calcium, not less!! If you run into this situation and need my knowledge and support to correct your levels, let me know.

Likewise, if your vitamin B-12 levels come back too high, it does not mean you are taking too much, it means you have too little. Increasing your B-12 levels substantially will improve these levels. If your progesterone levels are too high, you are not ingesting too much progesterone! If you take the correct amount of an increased amount of progesterone (and NOT the synthetic kind your doctor will sell you, but the natural kind mentioned in my book), these levels will normalize. I have seen this happen time and time again!!

If your blood test is bad it does not mean that you do not have a healthier bowel or body. On the other hand, if your blood test is better than before, it does not mean that you are all of a sudden healthy, either!

If you are still confused, or need more support about this information, re-read pages 41-45 of my book, “This Works, Crutches Don’t,” and keep an eye out for future emails, as well as videos, regarding this very much misunderstood, dangerously so!, topic.

* This is true in 95% of the cases. A few variables, like PSA levels, are not reactions to un-eliminated acids, but rather, are the result of an unhealthy bowel bacterial environment—which you are improving with this program (ie, eventually these will come back normal!)

To Ensure Success, Use Crutches While You Heal!

Taking an aggressive amount of Bowel Strength (or probiotics, like acidophilus) is a necessity for achieving a healthy, symptom-free, addiction-free, long-living and thin body. But your bowel is home to 100 trillion bacteria, and recreating this beyond-enormous environment takes time. Very few of you will succeed in accomplishing this feat if you do not use crutches along the way.

Those of you who do or have used the crutches I recommend in Chapter 10 of “This Works, Crutches Don’t” have found a significant and immediate reduction in headaches, aches and pains, sugar cravings, bad Pap smears, and PMS. You have seen your skin look better right away, your energy increase, your stools dramatically improve, and your weight go down. You have begun sleeping through the night. You have gotten pregnant immediately, felt great during your pregnancy, and given birth to healthy babies. You have seen your blood tests improve, and even just the other day, adding the right crutch to the program kept a 16-year-old girl from having to be admitted to Children’s Hospital.

So I am concerned when I hear that some of you are not using these crutches and relying only on the bowel Strength or probiotics. The chance you will have the patience to wait years to see and feel the benefits of this are extremely low. I wonder if you read my book and did not read Chapter 10, or if you did, perhaps you did not read it very carefully? The necessity of using crutches while you heal is clearly emphasized in this chapter. If you are not using calcium, bentonite (especially bentonite!), progesterone cream and vitamin B-12, you need to start these immediately (per the instructions in Chapter 10).

If you need more help with this, or if you try these crutches and do not get immediate results from doing so, contact me to schedule a 30 minute visit so I can help you find the right crutch at the right dosage. (Scheduling information can be found on the scheduling page of my website at www.ThisWorksCrutchesDont.com.

Crutches do not heal your body, but they help give you the patience needed to heal!

Eat "good" fat to lose weight, feel better, and to improve your blood tests

Fat Intake, Weight Loss, and Symptom Reduction (as well as improved blood tests)

Excess, un-eliminated acids in you blood (left there because your bowel is not yet healthy enough to eliminate them), cause your body to retain water and fat (your weight goes up), trigger reactions from your body to protect against these (causing symptoms) and trigger reactions from your organs (that cause elevated cholesterol and other blood tests variables, like TSH and liver enzyme levels—to possibly increase.) Because ‘tis the time of year that weight is especially on everyone’s mind, and you will be hearing a zillion ads and commercials marketing the “will always fail crutch approach to weight loss!”—I will state this boldly in regard to your weight:

Fat does not make you fat. Excess acids in your blood do!

A lack of exercise, too many carbs, and a lack of willpower are not the cause of excess weight—excess acids are!

Hence, until your bowel is healthier and better able to eliminate acids from your blood that cause weight, symptoms, and bad blood tests, it is helpful to minimize the acids in your blood in other ways.

The foods you eat have a profound effect on the acids that are present in your blood.

There are several “ways” to reduce the acids in your blood with your diet. One, reduce the acidic foods that you eat. This reduces the “new” acids that enter into your blood. Two, eat foods that are not cleansing—that do not cause the old acids in your cells/organs to be discarded into your blood.

Healthy fats satisfy these two requirements.

Healthy fats include olive oil, cold/expeller-pressed oils, nuts and seeds and their butters, avocadoes, and butter! These foods are non-acidic, or very low in acidity. This reduces the new acids entering into your blood, which reduces symptoms, weight gain, and bad blood tests.

These fats are also not cleansing, They do not cause old acids to dump into your blood from your cells/organs. For now, this is desirable, and it means fewer symptoms, fewer weight problems, and better blood tests.

Additionally, by eating more of these fats/foods, you are very likely to eat less acidic, cleansing foods that trigger symptoms, weight gain, and bad blood tests.

So eat more of these healthy fats, and your weight will go down, your symptoms will reduce, and your blood tests will look better.

How much should you eat? Eat a lot more than you think. A long-term, healthy diet is comprised of about 25% fat—that is quite a bit! It may mean that you eat 2 tablespoons of butter, ½ avocado and 2 tablespoons of olive oil a day—or more.

Remember, you need to re-program your brain to rethink the cause of weight gain, symptoms, elevated cholesterol, etc. Acids in your blood that have not been eliminated by your bowel cause these (and these can be reduced by the foods you eat. Healthy fats fit into the category of foods that reduce the presence of these weight producing, symptom-producing, cholesterol-producing acids!).

Diet Tips For Your Success (sourdough bread products)

Foods To Help Heal Your Bowel and Body

Sourdough bread products

Sourdough bread is easier to digest, and less acidic, than white, wheat, and even whole wheat bread. These qualities of a food make it “healthy” for you. When foods are easy to digest, they require less of your body’s energy to break them into utilizable components. This means that there is more energy for healing activities, like eliminating acids from your body. If you were eating all day long, you would not have time to work and earn money to pay your bills. Your body also does not “survive” well when it is busy digesting food all day long!

The easy digestibility of sourdough also makes it a better choice for people who do not digest gluten (wheat) very well. If this is you may find that you do not experience symptoms after eating sourdough as you do if you eat wheat (although in cases of a very unhealthy bowel, even sourdough will not be tolerated, so this is something you will need to be watchful of).

Being relatively low in acidity, it also means that when you eat sourdough, very little new “trash” enters your body. With less new trash, your body can focus on getting rid of the old trash that causes weight gain, organ weakness, symptoms, cravings, and illness.

The end result of a low acid, easy to digest diet is that there are fewer acids in your blood, and fewer acids in your blood means less symptoms, less weight, and better blood tests.

Put another way, weight gain is not caused by excess calories, fat, or a lack of exercise—it is caused by excess, un-eliminated acids in your blood.

Excess, un-eliminated acids in your blood cause many of your symptoms.

Blood tests reflect the un-eliminated acids in your blood, and they will be worse—TSH, cholesterol, liver enzyme levels, etc—the more un-eliminated acids there are in your blood.

Until your bowel is healthier and better able to eliminate acids from your blood, a low-acid, easy to digest diet will help minimize their presence there, and therefore will minimize your symptoms, weight problems, and bad blood tests. Used correctly, sourdough can help you achieve these results.

Therefore, let me expand upon and clarify the recommendations in my book for eating sourdough products. One, there is “good” sourdough and “bad” sourdough (just as there is good salt and bad salt, good fats and bad fats, etc.) The good sourdough is made from a sourdough starter. The bad sourdough is made from yeast. Check the ingredients label on the bread bag or ask the bread shop where you purchase this if a starter or yeast is used. Avoid sourdough made with yeast. For the most part, sourdough products in the grocery store or at restaurants are made form yeast and are not very healthy for you. Sourdough products made with a starter are more readily available at health food stores and bread shops.

Secondly, even though sourdough made with a starter is healthy for you, it is cleansing because it is high in carbohydrates. This means that it sends acids from you cells into your blood and bowel, where it will trigger symptoms, weight gain, and bad blood tests if you cannot eliminate these acids. Therefore, if you start this program and avoid bread and carbs, do not immediately introduce sourdough into your diet. On the other hand, if, when you start this program, you are eating other breads, pastas, bagels, and other carbohydrates, you will look and feel better if you replace as many of these with sourdough (or rice too, of course!). So if you usually eat a sandwich on wheat bread and can make one with a good sourdough, you will look and feel better doing so. If you usually have a bagel for breakfast, replace it with some good sourdough toast, and you will look and feel better.

If you are lucky, you may be able to find other wonderful, good sourdough products in your town and at your health food store, like sourdough pizza crusts, bagels, pancakes, or crackers. And if you are really lucky, you live in San Francisco, sourdough heaven!.

P.S.--I even had a client tell me that when she visits Mexico, most of the breads are made with sourdough, as is true in Europe and other parts of the world where a lot of bread is eaten, and people are not suffering with the same weight and health problems we are.

P.P.S.—just today, I read about a baker in France who became obsessed with baking the best bread in the world. His recipe? Sourdough bread. He sold $10 million worth of it last year! If you are ever in France, get some, and tell me what you thought about it! (it is called Poilane bread).
