Mercury can cause a bewildering variety of problems. In fact, one of the major criticisms of amalgam illness is that it is cited as the cause of so many things. But, like the parable of the blind men and the elephant, mercury can indeed cause many diseases. Modern physicians are not trained to find the root cause of a sick person’s problems. They are trained to translate what they see into latin, look it up in their textbook, and apply a cookbook treatment. With a toxin that poisons fundamental metabolic processes different people will experience different symptoms to start off, depending on their own individual biochemistry. As the poisoning becomes more and more serious, further symptoms surface and the modern doctor adds more diagnoses – a patient who starts with depression might later be considered to have hypothyroidism, allergies and asthma in addition. But no thought is given to why one person should develop more and more “diseases,” when a single diagnosis – chronic mercury poisoning – could account for them all.
Some of the “diseases” a modern physician might mistakenly misdiagnose chronic mercury poisoning as are:
Addison’s disease, Allergies, Alzheimer’s’ disease, Anorexia, Anxiety, Asthma, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Autoimmune disease, Bipolar disorder, Borderline personality disorder, Bulimia, Candidiasis, Chronic fatigue, Colitis Crohn’s disease, Fibromyalgia, Environmental illness, Gastritis, Insomnia, Infertility, Hypothyroidism, Hypogonadism, Sleep disorders, Yeast syndrome, Sciatica, Schizophrenia, Irritable bowel syndrome, Juvenile arthritis, Learning disabilities, Manic depression, Panic attacks and many more
Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and Treatment is a practical guide to getting well. It does not stop at saying you MIGHT have mercury poisoning if you have one or more of these. It tells you how to find out. Quantitative diagnostic procedures are included so that you can decide whether your problems are due to mercury poisoning or not.

You’re in the OFFICE, you’re in a MEETING, you’re in your CAR, you’re PICKING up the kids from school, you’re SHOPPING, you’re on the BUS, and NATURE CALLS
You want to answer, you’re desperate!, but you have to wait until you get home, or find a toilet somewhere. A lot of people find it difficult to use other people’s toilets or public toilets. So the call of nature is usually held. When you eventually go the stools are dry, hard and difficult to pass. This can also be painful. One of the most common reasons your bowel goes on strike is because of lack of fibre, oil and water. “Does that ring a bell?” If you drive a car it should! The bowel needs these elements to drive you to the toilet – get it? In order to produce soft, smooth, painless stool oil, fibre and water all need to be in balance.
If you do no exercise then your constipation can be exacerbated.
Conditions such as,
• Diabetes (when body develops a defect either with insulin production or insulin action on the blood sugar level.)
• Depression (an altered state
• Irritable bowel (causes sensitivity of intestinal nerves)
can contribute to constipation. Certain drugs/medication prescribed for these and other conditions may add to restricted bowel action.
When should you consult your GP
Although not pleasant, constipation is usually not grave, but be mindful that it can sometimes signal a serious condition such as colorectal cancer or just obstruction of the bowel. If it carries on for more than 2 weeks or more, and you notice excess mucus or blood in your stool, maybe there are signs of fever, severe abdominal pain or weight loss maybe alternating with diarrhoea, then please consult your medical DR.
Be aware that blood pressure drugs, diuretics, codine or morphine based painkillers, antidepressants, antiacids and certain drugs containing aluminium & calcium can cause constipation.
Important pointers:
• Get regular exercise, walk daily, add good fibre to your daily diet – soaked flax seeds are an excellent source of omega-3
• Do not ignore nature’s call, if you do you can start a back log resulting in severe constipation
• Never ever try to force a bowel movement. This could result in extremely painful haemorrhoids (piles) or anal fissures. These can narrow the passage of the anus. Straining on the toilet can also have a strong effect on the heart. This can have a very negative effect on your blood pressure and could even bring on a heart attack.
Last resort
Laxatives – be very aware of how dangerous it can be to take any product which has an over stimulating action on the bowel. Over the counter laxatives can be quite violent on the bowel. The herb Cascara Sagrada is milder than over the counter laxatives and is very effective. Do not take for longer than two weeks, after this you should consult your health care practitioner who should take the time to help you with your meal plans and an exercise programme. By over stimulating the bowel with any laxative you will loose vital minerals such as water, potassium and salt.
Note: Cascara Sagrada must not be used by children or pregnant women.
A teaspoon of Epsom salts in warm water can be taken at 6am in the morning followed by a large cup of hot lemon and water. This can be taken for 2 weeks max. Remember to use ONE teaspoon only – this treatment is very effective.
Giving yourself an enema is also useful, safe and effective. We are happy to give you the suppliers we use for good enema bags.

Poor liver function can exacerbate some allergic conditions, asthma, skin eruptions, hay fever etc.
Middle age people have more digestive problems because their enzyme activity is less and they are usually eating foods that are enzyme less. They eating more bread, cooked foods, in some cases more alcohol and more sweet foods. When these dead foods are removed from the diet thereby taking the overload away from the liver, then the problems gradually improve.
In auto-immune disease e.g. poly-arthritis and systemic lupus, if the diet is high in foods containing synthetic chemicals, colours, preservatives, in fact all artificial sweeteners and flavours, snacks and crisps, colas, soft drinks, and packaged foods. These foods (it is questionable if they can be called food).
These chemicals build up in the liver. They by-pass all the protective fillers (which would normally act as barriers keeping them out). The toxins then have easy access into the blood stream.
The chemicals then incorporate themselves into various body organs, the joints, the muscles. After a while the body system becomes chemicalized. The immune system can no longer recognise chemicalized cells as a natural part of our body. It sees it as foreign thereby they will de destroyed. Antibodies are produced which will be attack your own body cells. This is a summary of auto-immune disease and explains the paradox that fools our immune system into attacking the very tissue that it was originally programmed to protect.
Click here to see
LIVER CLEANSE PICTURES!!
If you are suffering with an auto-immune disease you should definitely consider the 7 day liver cleanse to dechemicalize your body. It will reduce the toxic over load upon your immune system. Patient who have had lupus have reported a 90% “cure” both by blood test and symptomatically after following the 7 day liver cleanse and continued afterwards incorporating the method and lifestyle of the liver cleanse diet.
Gall bladder disease which is coupled with gall stones causes intolerance to fatty foods. You can experience fatigue, vomiting, upper abdominal pains which radiates into the back and upper right shoulder, nausea can follow. The whole experience can be severely distressing and uncomfortable. Please note how the liver and the immune system are intimately related; they are dependant on each other. If one is unhappy so is the other.

· Filed under Liver Detox ·Tagged Beechcroft retreats, energy, function, glucose, liver, Merlee Harris, nutrition, sanctuary of light, vitamins

The liver synthesizes glucose from the sugars and carbohydrates that we eat. Glucose is the most important substance in our metabolism. It could be called ‘pure energy’ and is used by the cells of our body for just that purpose: energy, as it is absorbed directly into the cells. Excess glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen and is readily converted back into glucose if and when needed by the body. Our liver also stores super energy nutrients like Vitamin B12 and Iron, which are essential to the life processes of the body.
The liver also manufactures vitamins, clotting agents and amino acids. It makes cholesterol which is necessary for the production of hormones and other metabolic chemicals. It also produces lipoproteins which allow fat to be transported through the blood stream. (High cholesterol in the blood is usually caused by excessive intake of animal fats and rarely due to liver malfunction). The liver also stores other vitamins like vitamins A, D, E and K as well.

The body is really no different from a car. Like any machine, if you want it to last and give you years of trouble-free service for the maximum duration, it requires regular and routine maintenance.
If you want to get the most miles out of your car then you have to follow a routine and preventative maintenance programme, like regular change of oil and oil filter every 5,000 miles, change of air filter every 10,000 miles, a tuning and service every 25,000 miles and so on. Any mechanic will tell you that if you want your car to last for a long time and remain in good condition you must take care of it.
Likewise, it is the law of Nature that if you do not follow a routine maintenance programme using the proper fuels and fluids, if you do not follow a routine preventative maintenance programme … the machine that is your body will break down.
Your body, like your car, uses fuel to run and as it runs it creates waste products, like the exhaust of your car. In order to ensure your body machine runs at its optimum level, it is important to use the best fuels and periodically cleanse the internal parts. This is very important even if you happen to live in the best of environments. Sadly, for the greater part, most of us live far from the best of environments. The problem is, despite the fact that most of us in this day in age live to about 70 to 75 years of age, medical scientists agree that if properly nourished and maintained, the human body should last for about 125 years! They argue that the only reason that it doesn’t is because of our lifestyles. We lose approximately 50 years from our potential lifespan because of the air we breathe, the fluids we drink, the foods that we eat … and the lives that we live. We are killing ourselves 50 years too early! And though we may not be able to change the air we breathe or the lifestyles we live, we can change the way we live, just by changing the way we eat and drink, allowing ourselves the time to give our body machine the maintenance and service it needs … and living healthily to our full potential.

If your anus is
• itching,
• there is a painful swelling that hangs like grapes
• there is blood
• and if its painful when expelling a hard stool
than you may be experiencing haemorrhoids (piles). The most common type develops inside the anus; these can sometimes bleed but not be painful. The external ones are painful. They can sometimes become prolapsed and protrude from the anus – looking like a soft lump.
It is said that long sitting, ageing and pregnancy can all contribute to haemorrhoids. When straining to perform a bowel movement you can make the haemorrhoids worse.
If you are looking for comfort and relief try these top tips:
Add a good handful of Epsom salts into your bath, stir, dissolving the salts well. Immerse the area into the bath – this should help to constrict the haemorrhoid. You may want to try a sitz bath. You can have a sitz bath with any part of the body, i.e. hips, hands, feet. For the purpose of this article we are concentrating on the lower part of the anatomy.
If you have a bidet than use it by placing your bottom in a full bowl of arm water, sit for 10 minutes in the warm water, drain the bidet, refill with cold water and sit for 5 minutes. When you’ve finished alternating between hot and cold (do this for half and hour) than completely dry the area.
What you’re trying to achieve is shrinkage of swollen vessels, providing enormous relief.
Remember
Please dab the area – do not scratch
You can also try sitting on ice. Put some ice in an old pillow case, make sure the ice is first placed in a plastic bag, and then simply sit on it. Ha ha Lovely! Soothing!
A bag of frozen peas can also be used – I would not however suggest serving it to your friend after use. Remember if you go down this route wrap the peas in a cloth.
Soak a piece of natural cotton wool ball in distilled witch hazel. Apply this to the area; it is very rich in tannins, which helps to contract the blood vessels.
In the affected area a generous amount of silver gel can be applied and it is extremely soothing. It will also remove any bacteria & impurities from the haemorrhoid, giving it the best chance to heal.
Vitamin E and wheat germ can also be applied. Comfrey or calendula will soothe and promote healing. Another school of thought is grated potato. (Again don’t make chips with this after use). The potato is very astringent and soothing.
One last tip which I’m sure you’ll enjoy is to put your feet up because by raising the feet it takes blood away from the area and also alleviates pressure. Stretch yourself out and relax!
It’s important that one of our major organs of detoxification which is the liver is looked after. Visit our website to find out how you can achieve a much better way of healthy living, cleansing, de-toxing and to find out how we can help you to achieve -www.beechcroftretreats.com.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES FROM
SWINE FLU
WITH BETA GLUCAND AND SILVER SHIELD
YOU will be aware that the recent outbreak of SWINE FLU has now been declared a pandemic. Dr Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organisation, has warned that the swine flu virus first identified in Mexico cannot be contained, as the number of cases identified globally grows by the day. today
History shows us that flu pandemics occur approximately every 30 years. After this time the genetic make up of a ‘flu virus changed so much that immunity built up from previous strains becomes irrelevant, so that herd immunity, our main defence against pandemics, has become negligible.
Antibiotics are no use in treating viral infections and the right vaccines to protect us against the latest swine flu won’t be ready for 6 months which could be too late for many. The best defence against such infections is a healthy immune system. Some natural substances are known to promote healthy immune function, the most effective being beta 1-3, 1-6 glucans, a polysaccharide derived from baker’s yeast.
Silver Shield gel and silver shield liquid can also be used to provide protection both topically and internally.
The importance of the innate immune system is highlighted by the fact that many species are unable to develop antibodies via acquired immunity, yet are still able to withstand exposure to infectious organisms.
It is thought that in the ultra clean modern environment in which most people live in industrialised societies, there is insufficient exposure to the microbial products that in the past would have acted to provide natural stimulation of the innate immune system.
The importance of the latter has been highlighted in research by Dr Paul Clayton, recently featured in the Daily Mail, which demonstrated the high level of exposure to beta glucans in the Victorian diet and environment, and the health benefits that this subsequently conferred on their immune function.
Beta 1-3, 1-6 glucans are non toxic and non allergenic, and no significant adverse effects from their use have been reported. It should be noted that the effectiveness of different commercial beta glucan supplements may vary widely.
Dosage – 200mg (1capsule) for protection. In the face of exposure elevate this to 10mg/kg/day. (I.e. if you weight 60kg you will need 3 capsules per day.)
To order your silver shield protection call today on 01952671600 and Quote reference 255558.
