REVOXIL I don’t know about you…but that picture just makes me sick.  I worked with a veterinarian for many years.  It was there that I realized parasites totally creeped me out.  We routinely checked for them in animals.  For some reason it seems to be lost in the conventional medical community.  Common sense dictates that if its a problem in animals and we have animals then just that thread of thought along would tell us to at least be aware that it could be a problem!

Chances are that you probably have them.  For the most part they are no big deal.  There are so many things within our system that we can handle without any issues.  However, many things can cause anyone of them to go out of balance.  These can include bacteria, virus, yeast and fungus.  Our systems are in a delicate balance and there are things that we do daily without realizing it that can cause them to be imbalanced – then something like the parasites can actually become problematic.

Parasites are gross little bugs that sustain off us, their “host”.  They set up shop in our bodies and become very comfortable and complacent and don’t want to leave. They can be very difficult to get rid of – so please be patient as it will take time.  One of the main symptoms of parasites is fatigue.  This is due to the fact that they place a tremendous amount of stress on the body and are actually consuming and causing the body to expend tremendous amount of energy to try and combat those pesky little critters.

If you are looking for a cleanse, a parasite cleanse in a great place to start.  Parasites can cause a whole “host” (no pun intended) of symptoms.

• Anemia
• Respiratory & Breathing Issues
• Headaches & Migraines
• Skin Issues such as Eczema
• Liver and Gallbladder Issues
• Fatigue
• Weight Gain or Weight Loss
• Yeast Infections and Candida
• The Whole Array of Digestive Issues – bloating, constipation and diarrhea

The product that I recommend for folks to use to get parasite issues under control is called Revoxil. What an amazing product! It contains all the ingredients that are so effective at returning the system to homeostasis (balance) from a parasitic perspective without the difficulty of having to swallow nasty tasting herbs. This product is a highly absorbable and extremely utilizable gel capsule that is incredibly easy to swallow.

Be sure to take it with a bit of food.  It is not uncommon for you to “taste” garlic due to the high concentrations present in the capsules.  However, rest assured that it is working.

The nutritional support in Revoxil will help your rid your body of disease and fatigue causing parasites with a proprietary blend of black walnut hull, wormwood, garlic, clove seed and catechu seed from Healthwalk.

Donna Gate’s of Body Ecology (www.bodyecology.com) has some staggering statistics on her site about parasite…I have included the main one’s below…

If you thought parasites were only in undeveloped countries, you may be surprised to find out how common they are in the U.S., for example:

• According to the Centers for Disease Control, Trichomonas, a sexually transmitted disease, is the most common parasitic infection in the U.S. accounting for 7.4 million new cases annually. ¹
• More than 60 million people in the U.S. are infected by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which causes the disease toxoplasmosis and can be symptomless, cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph gland or organ damage.²

2 Toxoplasmosis. Centers for Disease Control.

Please be advised that the general consensus on implementing a parasite eradication program but be a commitment of 4-6 months. Then 1-2 months per year there after to maintain good health. It is not uncommon for parasites to be reintroduced to the system. Even in the U.S. parasites are everywhere. We can even get them from our pets.

The recommended dosing from the manufacturer for Revoxil is one (1) capsule three (3) times per day for thirty (30) days.  After thirty (30) days take one (1) capsule daily for ninety (90) days. Then take a hiatus from the Revoxil.  This is an aggressive anti-parasite program.   It is not recommend to begin such a protocol without assistance from a healthcare practitioner who is well versed in these holitic, non-invasive methods of wellness. Click here now to setup a consultation with Dr. Skip to guide you through this process.

Please keep in mind that once you begin a protocol of this nature it is very common for the adage “you may get worse before you get better” to hold true.  If you start to feel sick or worsening of your current symptoms, decrease the dosage to your level of tolerance and then slowly work back to the originial dose.  This is just another example of why you should have someone working with you on your path to health and wellness.

Be Well!

No way…it can’t be! There is nothing available that will do all those things safely and effectivly. You guys are starting to get to know me by now and I am all about the detoxification of the organs of elimination.

 [singlepic=19,320,240,,left]

I advocate sweating, lymphatic drainge, massage, colon cleanse, liver cleanse, etc.  There are so many methods that should be employed to keep us healthy.  While these things are beneficial  if you are sick, it is so much more helpful to your body if you do them while you are healthy.  This will also assist in keeping your immune system in tip-top shape.

There is a product called Royal Breakstone that I have used for many years both personally and with my patients that is very effective for cleansing the liver, kidney and bladder.  It is a highly effective option for those of you who don’t want to or can’t do an actual liver flush.

Alcohol-free Chanca Piedra liquid extract, contains vegetable glycerin.  Each milliliter (ml) contains 1 gram of the extract of dried leaf.

Traditionally uses now supported by scientific research:

Promote healthy liver function
Promote a healthy gall bladder
Support good digestion of fats
Promotes healthy digestion
Promote healthy kidney function

Chanca Piedra are spanish words, “chanca” meaning “to break” in and “piedra” meaning “stone”.  It is the name given to several different varities of small shrub-like plants in the Phyllanthus genus family.

These species of botanicals have been proven in scientific research to have antihepatotoxic, antispasmodic, antiviral, bactericidal, febrifugal, and hypoglycemic activity.

Some Traditional Uses

Chanca Piedra got its name because according the herbal tradition of Peru, where knowledge of rainforest remedies spread to the Incas, it was used to break up and expel kidney stones as well as gall stones.

It has been used to assist with the stimulation of bile and to promote healthy functioning of the liver and gall bladder.

It has also been used traditionally to help clear obstructions within the internal organs of the body by promoting the elimination of mucous as well as the elimination of the stones.

In areas throughout South America, Chanca Piedra is used to treat a wide aray of medical issues…such as, edema and excess uric acid, flu, colds and constipation, prostate issues, increase menstrual flow, ulcers, expell worms from body, irritable bowel and poor circulation. Just to name a few :-)

This is a great product that I routinely put folks on because it is so effective at what it does, especially in conjunction with an entire wellness protocol.  If you have any questions about this product or its uses please don’t hesitate to AskDrSkip.

Other actions that have documented by using Pau d’Arco have shown that it is a hepatotonic – which means it tones, balances and strengthens the liver. It is also an immunostimulant, its benefits will also strengthen the body’s immune system, which assists heavily in preventing liver disease. Claims have also been made that it assists in removing poisons from the liver tissue, as well as promoting healthy liver function. From a Naturopathic perspective this is a fundamental organ that must be healthy to maintain a body that is in homeostasis. Having a clean and healthy liver means many things – healthy skin, nails, stomach and blood.

If you search the web you will find an overwhelming amount of information available on this miraculous herb. I like this product so much because it is loaded with amazing properties and minerals. It can be used to virtually sustain life because it is practically a food. We are not using this to forcibly to make some “change” within the body – we are gently helping the body to return to its natural healthy state of homeostasis.

When selecting a brand to use for medicinal purposes, please be extremely selective as to which product you choose. I have used several brands and the one that I use at home and recommend exclusively is from Blessed Herbs – is it available in the on-line store and in our clinic. I chose this company for their high quality control and stringent selectivity of the herbs and the processing.

Pau d’Arco is the most useful when it has been made into a tincture. That just means that after the herb has been harvested it has been soaked in an alcohol. Soaking it in the alcohol extract the most potent ingredients and helps it to be assimilated and utilized by the body most effectively. The benefits of this amazing plant are endless…

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask! Good luck!

It’s that time of year when everyone seems to have what you often hear referred to as a “sinus infection”. While this is somewhat of a misnomer – this problem is most often due to the consumption of dairy (including anything that comes from a cow) and an imbalance of the bacteria in the intestinal track.

Studies show that sinus infections are not bacterial in nature and the root cause is often a fungus – the overuse of antibiotics continue down the path of perpetuating the so called infection. In Chinese Medicine the underlying cause is known as “damp” and the actual nature of the antibiotic is inherently “damp” as well… thus perpetuating the infection. Much the same way that consumption of milk perpetuates mucus.

One of the most benefical ways to help boost your immune system is to take a probiotic. Healthwalk makes one of the best that I have ever used. So if you suffer from Acid Reflux, Allergies, Candida, Digestive Issues and Frequent Infections, then BioNue is the probiotic for you.

BioNue can assist by introducing friendly bacteria that modern lifestyles so often take out of our bodies. A hearty blend of broad-spectrum probiotics, BioNue can also nutritionally support your body’s normal ability to fight the pathogenic bacteria that you may consume in your food.

With the food that is continually consumed to our detriment – coffee, dairy, high fat and sugar intake, refinded carbohydrates, etc. the health of your body unravels. While these changes happen a bit more slowly when we are younger… as we age the “signs and symptoms” begin screaming at us instead of whispering. Symptoms are the body’s way of telling us that something is wrong… headaches, constipation, diarrhea, joint pain, loss of memory, anxiety, depression, etc.

When we ignore them and continue doing the things that are causing the problem, disease ensues. These symptoms are not normal in that they are trying to clue us in to problems.  Over time we have learned to cope with them and almost find them to be normal because we have been dealing with them for so long.  Suddenly, you realize that you no longer feel like a healthy person.   Folks let me tell you – you do not have to feel this way. Please be proactive and make these positive changes today.

If sinus problems are an issue you must also consider the use of a neti-pot. Doing this procedure with some sea salt once daily will help offer tremendous relief for the sinus symptoms. Don’t forget… almost all allergy issues are directly related to problems in the gut!

The Following article was written by Dr. Garry Gordon, a physician and someone I hold in the highest regard. I consider him a mentor and listen intently when he speaks. I have been utilizing his protocols and products with my family and patients for many years. One thing is for sure where Dr. Gordon is concerned…he cares about one thing – YOUR HEALTH! He is one amazing man on the front-lines, fighting your health and health rights. Products that are created or recommended by Dr. Gordon WORK! Its just that simple. It would be my pleasure to help educate you on health and health care matters if you have any questions about products or protocols discussed here.

Below is an article written about a product that my fellow doctors tease me, that if didn’t exist or was pulled from the market… then how could I continue to practice!

There is seldom a condition that I can think of that wouldn’t benefit from the on-going use of Wobenzym.

Please read his article very carefully, and please don’t hesitate to make an appointment with me if you have any questions about implementing anything that I discuss into your health regiment…

Wobenzym® is backed by millions of dollars of research. While this research has been primarily done in Europe, there are FDA – approved studies under way in the United States on the effects of Wobenzym on Osteo-Arthritis and Multiple Myeloma. Studies in Europe have documented an average lowering of C-reactive protein levels (a marker of chronic infection in the body) of 30%!

New research, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, has documented that higher levels of C-reactive protein have up to 6 times the incidence of death from heart attack and stroke as lower levels. This obviously means that long-term use of Wobenzym® can be life saving.

In addition, it has the well deserved reputation of being the leading natural safe alternative for anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Ibuprofen. Anti-inflammatory drugs kill over 25,000 people each year in the U.S. and send many more to the hospital needing care for side effects, such as bleeding ulcers. In contrast, Wobenzym® is sold in over 40 countries, has been used by millions, and has killed no one!

Olympic teams use Wobenzym®. This is because it works so well, as shown by a 50% reduction in reported injuries, and because it remarkably enhances healing after injury. This is partly due to the RUTIN’s (bioflavanoids) ability to prevent the discoloration and local pain associated with traumatic injuries. For these same reasons, leading surgeons now routinely prescribe the use of Wobenzym® to prevent bruising and edema and the associated pain for their post-surgical patients.

Focused on treating the molecular causes of many health problems, Wobenzym® has been shown beneficial in virtually every health problem.

To become familiar with Enzyme Therapy, we recommend reading Enzymes, A Drug of the Future, by Dr. Heinrich Wrba.

Wobenzym®, acting synergistically with our oral chelation product Beyond Chelation Improved^TM, has been shown to:

Substantially reduce the incidence of fatal blood clots now known to be induced by the sudden breakdown of vulnerable plaque. 

Increase feelings of well-being because of its antioxidant and cholesterol lowering effects.

Allow fewer heart attacks or strokes because of anti-thrombotic, anti-spasmodic and anti-arrhythmic abilities.

Promote longevity due to the control of many of the molecular bases of aging.

Improve results with arterial blockages caused by Herpes and CMV. 

Provide protection from environmental toxins in the air, water and food.

Be beneficial when used to treat Autoimmune, Rheumatic and Cardiovascular Diseases, Inflammations, Injuries, Infections, and Tumor Illnesses, Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis, Joint and Muscle Pain, Herpes and Other Viral Infections, Cancer and Hepatitis C, Recurrent Miscarriages and many other Degenerative Diseases.

THE REAL PROOF IS IN YOUR RESULTING HEALTH!

Wobenzym® is formulated with natural nutrients that work directly in the bloodstream. It is SAFE and effective with NO DETRIMENTAL SIDE EFFECTS. It can be taken regularly and with confidence to reduce pain and enhance the functioning of organs and bodily systems.

Wobenzym® must IDEALLY be taken at least 30 minutes before meals or 60 minutes after meals. An excellent time to take it is just before bedtime and immediately upon arising. Keep the bottle next to your toothbrush. A common maintenance dose is 5 tablets twice daily, although the Cancer Treatment Centers of America routinely suggests 10 tablets 3 times a day.*
