Have you heard about Alpha Lipoic Acid?

Renowned for its numerous restorative properties, addressing various health ailments, it can be combined with other herbs, foods, and supplements to achieve optimal results.

Notably, Alpha-lipoic acid is celebrated for its antioxidant properties, including heavy metal detoxification, weight loss assistance, cardiovascular health, and inflammation reduction, making it a valuable compound.

Alpha-lipoic acid is an organic compound and a biological antioxidant, playing a crucial role in numerous metabolic and enzymatic reactions, typically found in the mitochondria of plant, animal, and human cells.

From an antioxidant perspective, it protects cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, heavy metal contaminants, vaccine damage, thyroid and liver issues, etc.

Research has shown that Alpha-lipoic acid supplements can aid in weight loss, particularly in obese individuals. However, it is essential to note that lifestyle changes, liver and thyroid focus, and habit modifications are necessary for sustainable and healthy weight loss and maintenance.

Alpha-lipoic acid has been utilized in holistic therapies for some time, but its popularity is increasing due to the impacts of contamination from various sources. Consequently, determining the exact dose, efficacy, and quality of the supplement can be challenging.

For those seeking to reap the benefits of Alpha-lipoic acid but are uncertain about the specific dosage or health issue to target, increasing the intake of foods rich in Alpha-lipoic acid may be a viable option.

Foods naturally high in Alpha-lipoic acid include organ meats and liver, spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, peas, rice bran, brewer's yeast, potatoes (unpeeled but washed free of pesticides), and carrots (skin on preferable) 🍎🍅🥦🥕🍠. The exact dose of Alpha-lipoic acid that is safe to take varies based on individual factors, such as age, health status, and tolerance.

It is crucial to consult with a holistic practitioner prior to introducing Alpha-lipoic acid supplements. this is for educational purppses not medical advice.

🌿 Ever Heard of Oxalates?

They're natural compounds found in many healthy foods, but there's more to the story and their becoming red flags more and more.

Oxalates can bind to minerals like calcium and may play a role in kidney stones and even thyroid inflammation. When oxalates build up in the thyroid, it can lead to something called oxalate dumping, a process that may trigger discomfort and inflammation.

And here’s something often overlooked folks, it’s not always about the gut. So many people focus on gut healing (which is important!) but forget to consider the thyroid, especially when symptoms persist. Oxalates can quietly accumulate in the thyroid, leading to chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalances that go unnoticed for years.

So if you’re doing “all the right things” for your gut and still not feeling better, think thyroid.

The good news? There are simple steps you can take:

🌿Get your thyroid function checked & reduce high-oxalate foods gradually, sudden changes can make symptoms worse.
🌿Introduce magnesium-rich foods or supplements to help block absorption
🌿Cook your greens well to lower oxalate levels
🌿Drink clean, filtered water to support kidney health and detox pathways

Your body knows what it needs. The key is learning how to listen. 💧💚

👇 Have you been focusing on gut health but still feel off?

It might be time to look at the thyroid. Let’s chat in the comments.

🌿 Castor Oil Packs anyone?

This ancient remedy is a Root-Cause Wonder.

Ive used them for years successfully for many ailments the most dominant was PCOS cysts.

I used certified organic, cold pressed and Hexane free with a face washer cloth and a warm heat bag. You can use cloth or purchase a washable wrap if desired.

Here's just a few benefits.:

🌊 1. Detox Without the Drama: Lymphatic Flow Unleashed

Forget harsh cleanses. Castor oil packs gently support the lymphatic system, your body’s natural waste-removal crew. Helps mobilize your lymph fluid, move stagnation, and boost white blood cell production. Also great for reducing puffiness, inflammation, and immune sluggishness.

🔥 2. Your Liver’s Love Language: Warmth, Oil & Circulation

Castor oil packs speak directly to your liver’s needs, helping it process hormones, toxins, and stress. This may support better bile secretion, enhanced enzyme activity & Detox-related symptom relief (like irritability, breakouts, or PMS )

💡 From a Root cause lens: When the liver’s stuck, everything slows down, energy, mood & hormones.

🚽 3. Move It or Lose It: Gentle Gut Stimulation

Feeling backed up, bloated, or crampy? This age-old remedy helps wake up your digestion. By placing a warm, oil-soaked cloth on the belly can activate peristalsis (which is a bowel movement reflex), ease tension, and reduce gut inflammation.

🌺 4. For the Womb Wisdom: A Nurturing Tool for Hormonal Harmony....

Used over the lower abdomen, castor oil packs may support menstrual cycle regulation, reduce cramping, and ease symptoms tied to fibroids or cysts (that was me). By changing my diet and water source I no longer suffer from PCOS. Packs are also a beautiful way to tune into your reproductive health and promote pelvic circulation.

Think of Castor Oil pack modalities as a sacred pause: Rest, reconnect, and support your cycle, gently and naturally.

Your body will thank you. 🌿💦💦

🌿 Is Mold Impacting Your Health?

Fatigue. Brain fog. Sinus congestion. Joint aches. Allergies.... for many, these symptoms can sometimes be linked to hidden mould exposure — in the home, workplace, or even food. Mycotoxin issues are therefore more common than you think.

In my world, I look deeper than symptoms. A root-cause approach means supporting your whole body to heal itself:

✨ Step 1: Remove the Source - 🧹 Clean and remediate mouldy spaces, 💨 Use HEPA filtration, 🚫 Avoid mould-promoting foods (aged cheeses, peanuts, alcohol, processed foods)

✨ Step 2: Support your Detox Pathways - 💧 Stay hydrated with filtered water
🔥 Encourage gentle sweating (sauna, movement), 🥗 Eat fibre-rich foods
🌱 Use natural binders under guidance (charcoal, chlorella, fulvic/humic acids)
⚖️ With professional support: EDTA for heavy metal + toxin load

✨ Step 3: Introduce some Herbal Allies
🌿 Milk Thistle, Dandelion, Burdock → For Liver & detox
🌿 Astragalus, Echinacea, Reishi → Immune strength
🌿 Garlic, Oregano Oil, Pau d’Arco → Antifungal support
🌿 Mimosa Pudica Seed → Gentle gut cleanse
🌿 Wormwood + Black Walnut → Strong antifungal/antiparasitic (short-term, guided use only)

✨ Step 4: Consider some Whole-Body Support
🌍 Grounding (bare feet on earth) to reduce stress & balance immunity
🧘 Breathwork, yoga, meditation to calm the nervous system
🍵 Nutrients & antioxidants (turmeric, berries, green tea, zinc, magnesium, vitamin D)

💚 Healing from mould isn’t overnight — it’s a process., but with the right root-cause approach, your body can move from survival → thriving.

⚠️ Note: Herbs like wormwood, black walnut, and EDTA require professional guidance. This post is for education only and not a substitute for medical advice.

Something to consider?

Where would you start?

🕊️🕊️ What Every Parent Deserves to Know About the MMR Vaccine

If you're a parent, please take a moment to read. This isn't about fear. It's about awareness and it's not meant to be controversial in nature. This Isn’t an Anti-V post. Rather, it’s pro-informed consent., pro-parental rights and Pro-child safety.

Too many families have learned the hardest way possible that “safe and effective” doesn't mean risk-free.

You are not “crazy” or “irresponsible” for asking questions or selfish for wanting more time. You are a parent, and you are allowed to say: “Not today.” “Not all at once.” "not at all" or “I need more information.”

Some children don’t make it, some change overnight, some are never the same. For many parents, the connection becomes clear only after a routine vaccine appointment, and its often the MMR. We as a family have a v damaged child from MMR which has taken years of speech therapy and ongoing care.

💉 What You Deserve to Know About the MMR Vaccine:

🧾 Ask for the package insert. - It’s not the brochure in the waiting room (rare), or the provider saying "its all good", it’s the full document that lists reported side effects, ingredients, contraindications, and more. You have the right to see it before making a decision.

🧪 Research the ingredients. The MMR contains live viruses (measles, mumps, rubella), human albumin, fetal cell lines, neomycin, sorbitol, gelatin, egg protein, aluminum and other substances. Know what’s going into your child’s body.

🗓️ If your choice after research is to proceed then know that spacing vaccines out is an option. You can choose to delay or space out shots, especially when multiple are scheduled at once. The standard schedule isn’t one-size-fits-all. You wouldn't give your child the entire antibiotics script at one time, so this is no different. Also, think also about pre and post appointment immune system and detoxing.

So many parents now speak out, not because they want attention and yet are being labelled anti V, (horrid), but more because they live every day with the weight of what they wish they'd known sooner. Their stories aren’t rare, they’re just rarely shared.

💔 Some children are no longer here to tell their stories, some never got to speak at all. But we can speak for them. And we can protect the ones still with us, by making fully informed, unpressured choices.

Please take the time and ask the questions, and please do your research and decide what is best for your child.

JUST IMAGINE......

If chronic diseases were actually cured…Big Pharma would lose its most loyal customers.

Let’s be honest right, they don’t make money off healthy people and sadly they profit from lifelong patients.

Just think about these few examples:
• Acid reflux? A daily pill instead of addressing diet.
• ADHD? Meds for years, often starting in childhood.
• Cholesterol? Statins forever, but no root-cause care.
• Insomnia? Sedatives, not true sleep solutions.

A cure or lessening medication need, may be a one-time fix, but managing symptoms? That’s decades of revenue.

Now ask yourself the following:
• Why are natural therapies dismissed as “woo”?, why is food barely discussed in med school, why do holistic doctors face censorship?

Because health doesn’t pay, but sickness? That’s a goldmine.

💰 What we have isn’t healthcare. It’s a business, built on keeping you just sick enough. Often Not true healing through root-cause approaches, herbal remedies, holistic care, or ancient wisdom that addresses the whole person.

🧠 Think critically, your best health might start where the prescription need reduces or ceases maybe.

This post is meant to be educational and thought-provoking, not to suggest your current treatment isn’t right for you. Rather, it’s an invitation to consider what natural or complementary approaches might help you return to wellness or reduce symptoms in a holistic way. 💦🌿

Promote healthy blood pressure by incorporating nutrient-dense foods from your garden, local farmers market, or grocery store.

Washing your produce thoroughly is essential to minimize pesticide and herbicide exposure, regardless of organic certification.

Noteable foods for blood pressure management include Swiss chard, commonly known as Silverbeet in Australia, and Urugula, also referred to as rocket leaves.

Nature always provides. 💦💫💦

MEDICAL SCANS? What to know.

I’m not a fan of scan, in fact, I avoid them at all costs, but the past 18 months I have endured 4. I even refuse contrast when possible. But sometimes, scans like CTs, PET scans or MRIs are necessary.

When that happens, I make it a priority to support my body before and after to minimize any lasting effects, especially from the radiation or contrast agents that can linger in the body.

Here’s what I use and why:
🌿Glutathione Liquid (sublingal) – Known as the body’s master antioxidant. It helps neutralize radiation-induced free radicals and supports liver detox pathways.

🌿Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) – A powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and helps regenerate vitamins C and E.

🌿Apple Pectin & Fiber-Rich Foods – Bind to heavy metals and radioactive particles in the gut and help eliminate them.

🌿NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) – Boosts natural glutathione production and supports detox, especially for the liver and lungs.

🌿Activated Charcoal, Chlorella, Spirulina – Excellent for binding and clearing out toxins and contrast dye remnants.

🌿Milk Thistle & Vitamin C – Support liver function and protect against cellular damage.

🌿Melatonin (taken before scans) – Shown to reduce radiation-induced DNA damage and enhance antioxidant defenses.

🕒 Before a scan: I take melatonin, take my Glutathione, ALA, and boost my antioxidants (like green tea or resveratrol).

After: I hydrate heavily with ionised high 9.5ph water from my machine, load up on soluable fiber, take NAC and ALA again, and use binders like EDTA, chlorella or charcoal to help flush everything out.

We can’t always avoid these procedures, but we can support our bodies through them. This simple routine gives me peace of mind, and helps my body bounce back stronger.

If you’re navigating medical imaging, this might help you too but always chat to your holistic practitioner before introducing any supplementation 💪
