Dr. Klassen’s Corner – Spring cleaning

Throwback Newsletter: From March 2007

Spring cleaning is right around the corner. While you are cleaning an accumulation of a years debris in your home, why not think of an internal cleansing of your body as well. Detoxifying the body of built up toxins, parasites, candida and other contaminants the body accumulates may help prevent illness by improving body functions.

The brain and body tissues function at optimum levels when they are highly oxygenated. Wheatgrass has been found to have over 100 elements needed by man. It is very high in oxygen. It helps with blood purification, liver detoxification and colon cleansing along with many other benefits. You may receive these benefits in the use of CHF #28 Greens.

Parasites inhabiting your body can also cause much damage, without you even knowing it. Studies show that there are 1,000 different types of parasites that your body will be host to at least once in your lifetime, if not more. There is a tendency to only treat the symptoms: chronic fatigue, skin rashes, muscle and joint pain, weakened immune system, forgetfulness, food allergies, colitis, water retention and many others, without considering that parasites may be the root cause of health problems. The CHF#41 Parasite may help to clean up those parasites and CHF# 39 Oral Chelation may help to remove heavy metals from the body.

Candida can also cause many problems. It may cause symptoms such as frequent stomach pains and digestion problems, skin problems (skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, acne), foggy brain, trouble concentrating, constant tiredness and exhaustion, anxiety, mood swings, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anger outbursts, irritability, headaches, itchy skin, intense cravings for sugars, sweets, and breads, and other problems. CHF#44B Candida may help to kill the bad bacteria in your blood in conjunction with CHF#35 Acidophilus, CHF#35C Chewable Acidophilus, or CHF#35PP Plus Probiotic which may help to put the good bacteria back into the system.

As you’re cleaning a year of dust and grime around the house, let it be a reminder of the importance of cleansing your body as well.  After all, aren’t you worth it?

Medical Mythology: “How Sweet It Is”

By: Dr. Glen Mahoney, from February 2007

The chemical giant Monsanto created Aspartame and they sell it by the ton as “Nutra-Sweet”, “Equal” and “Spoonful”. This is great for their bottom line, but is it good for your health?

When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86° F, the molecules break down into two molecules of amino acid (phenylalanine and aspartic acid) and one molecule of methane. The amino acids are okay. The methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT okay. Anyone old enough to remember bath-tub-gin will attest to this fact.

The toxic (POISONOUS) effects of methane are caused by its conversion first to formaldehyde (Yes! embalming fluid) and then to formic acid (the ouch of a fire ant sting).

The person who uses three or more 12 oz cans of any “Diet Drink” a day and a great many people do, can expect to suffer from aspartame disease. What are the symptoms of aspartame disease? They read like a medical text book and include fibromyalgia, shooting pains, muscle spasms, cramps, joint pain, vertigo, headaches, depression, anxiety, speech, visual problems and memory loss.

If this reminds you of the health problems from “Desert Storm”, where cases of Diet Coke sat for days in 120° F heat, you are not alone.

The idea has occurred to many others. How sweet it is, but only for Monsanto.

Fortunately, the symptoms of aspartame disease are usually reversible, especially if corrected in their early stages, i.e.- Stop Using Poison.

Does Monsanto know this? Does the F.D.A. and A.D.A. know this? How could they not know if the Country (you may insert “Hick” here if you so desire) Doctors of Aberdeen, Idaho know?

If it’s all the same to you, I will stay on fruit juice for my sweet addiction.

P.S. As an after thought: As our children become more obese and the use of “Diet Drinks” becomes greater, what will happen to the future health of the “Good Old U.S. of A?”

Scents You Should Know…The Basic Care Kit

There are 10 basic oils that are essential to keep on hand. These oils include Lavender (EO35), Tea Tree (EO74), Peppermint (EO57), Chamomile (EO11), Eucalyptus (EO22), Geranium (EO26), Rosemary (EO63), Thyme (EO73), Lemon (EO37), and Clove (EO17). Each month we will begin to highlight each of these different oils and some of the wonderful uses and benefits you could receive from them.

Starting off the list is Lavender which is extracted from its flowering tops by steam distillation. It is a very widely used oil which may help in several areas of health, such as acne, boils, burns, dermatitis, eczema, bites and stings, muscle aches and pains, asthma, bronchitis, throat infections, cramps, nausea, flu, headaches, depression, insomnia, stress, and the list goes on. It may be applied in several ways including using a carrier oil, steam, compress, flavoring, or used directly on the body. For instance, if you were to burn yourself, run the burned area under ice cold water for approximately 10 minutes, then apply two drops of lavender oil directly to the burn. Next, apply five drops of lavender to a cold, wet compress and cover the area. To relax from a stressful day, mix 10 drops each of Lavender, Geranium, and Palma Rosa together. Drop between six to 10 drops of the mixture into a warm bath and soak. It will help “take all your worries away”.

What’s Up Doc?

Q: I have trouble sleeping at night. What can I do?

A: Calcium helps relax our muscles (the brain being a muscle) and magnesium helps relax the nerves. Try taking four capsules of CHF#2 Cal-Mag at bedtime. That is why Grandma drank a cup of warm milk at bedtime. If that does not work, you may try CHF#19 Relax by taking two capsules at bedtime.

Q: What can I do for age spots?

A: We suggest taking CHF#12 Liver to cleanse the liver of toxins and CHF#88 Revive which may help to reduce aging of the skin. For women, it may be hormonal as well, try adding CHF#66 Female Hormone Cream, and CHF#27 Ovary/Uterus.
