AHA has lied since 1974. How many doctors actually make people better? Do you eat from the AHA pyramid? Grains are inflammatory (enriched products will make MTHFR worse), peanut butter is high in oxalates, sugar (added), seed oils (unless natural), so many processed foods are bad for us. Anything in a box.. not good.

Eat real food!!!

I was recently networking with someone and the discussion went to eczema. Here is some helpful advice:

Core Concept of Eczema- Chronic Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is the underlying mechanism connecting all these conditions. It can be triggered or worsened by poor diet, stress, toxins, infections, lack of sleep, and a sedentary lifestyle.

1. Diet & Lifestyle Triggers

These are the root causes that initiate the inflammatory cycle:

Gluten, dairy, sugar, processed foods

High omega-6 / low omega-3 intake

Caffeine, alcohol

NSAIDs, antibiotics, birth control pills

Poor sleep & chronic stress

Sedentary lifestyle

Environmental toxins

Gut microbiome imbalance (dysbiosis)

2. Leaky Gut (Intestinal Permeability)

Poor diet and stress damage the gut lining, causing it to become "leaky":

Tight junctions in the gut lining open up

Undigested food particles, toxins, and microbes "leak" into the bloodstream

Triggers an immune response → systemic inflammation

Key drivers: gluten, alcohol, stress, infections, antibiotics

3. Immune Dysregulation & Food Sensitivities

Leaky gut confuses the immune system:

The immune system starts recognizing food proteins (e.g., gluten, dairy) as invaders

Leads to IgG/IgA-mediated food sensitivities

Symptoms are delayed, making them hard to detect

4. Systemic Inflammation

The immune system stays on high alert, causing chronic low-grade inflammation:

Cytokines released → affect tissues and organs

Worsens gut permeability → vicious cycle

5. Inflammation-Based Conditions
🤧 Asthma

Inflammatory cytokines affect airways

Gut–lung axis plays a role

Eczema

Leaky gut → increased histamine release

Inflammation shows up on the skin

Joint Pain

Inflammatory markers (e.g., TNF-alpha, IL-6) attack joints

Common in autoimmune cases (RA, PsA)

Food Sensitivities

Continued exposure worsens inflammation

Symptoms: bloating, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, pain

All Conditions are Interconnected
Poor Diet/Stress
↓
Leaky Gut → Immune Activation → Food Sensitivities
↓ ↘︎
Systemic Inflammation → Eczema, Asthma, Joint Pain

Healing Strategy (Root Cause Focus)
Diet:

Eliminate common triggers: gluten, dairy, sugar, processed foods

Add anti-inflammatory foods: leafy greens, berries, omega-3s, fermented foods

Consider an elimination diet or Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)

Lifestyle:

Manage stress (meditation, breathwork, therapy)

Improve sleep (7–9 hours, regular schedule)

Move daily (gentle exercise like yoga, walking)

Support Gut Health:

Probiotics & prebiotics
Bone broth, L-glutamine, zinc, collagen
Address SIBO or candida if needed

Test, Don’t Guess:
Food sensitivity testing (IgG) (only helps the now)
Comprehensive stool analysis
Zonulin levels (for leaky gut)
Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR)
CBC, CMP, Cellular Microtesting

Going carnivore for a time and eliminating dairy, grains, sugar, processed foods, and seed oils can significantly reduce or eliminate symptoms related to:

Food sensitivities
Leaky gut
Joint pain
Eczema
Asthma

Why This Works (Physiologically)
1. Removes Common Triggers of Inflammation

Dairy, grains (especially gluten), sugar, seed oils, and processed foods are among the most common dietary triggers for:

Gut irritation & permeability

Immune system dysregulation

Histamine release (eczema, asthma)

Autoimmune flare-ups (joint pain)

By eliminating them, you reduce immune burden and gut inflammation.

2. Carnivore Diet = Ultimate Elimination Diet

Removes all plant-based compounds that may trigger immune or histamine responses (e.g., lectins, oxalates, salicylates, FODMAPs)

High in nutrient density (if done correctly: organ meats, bone broth, collagen-rich cuts)

Reduces exposure to anti-nutrients and gut irritants

Gives your gut lining time to heal (tighten junctions)

3. Rebalances Gut and Immune System

Starves bad gut bacteria (many thrive on sugars and carbs)

Reduces intestinal permeability (less endotoxin/LPS translocation)

Calms overactive immune responses, especially in skin, joints, and lungs

Conditions That Often Improve on Carnivore / Elimination
Condition Why It Improves
Leaky Gut No gluten, grains, or seed oils = less damage
Joint Pain Anti-inflammatory effect, removes trigger foods
Eczema Reduces histamine & food immune reactions
Asthma Less systemic inflammation, gut-lung axis calms

Food Sensitivities Gut healing allows the immune system to reset
But—Here’s What to Watch For:
Nutrient Balance

You need organ meats, bone broth, fat, and collagen to avoid deficiencies (esp. vitamin C, magnesium, electrolytes)

Add electrolytes and high-quality salt...

The HOCATT (Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Technology) is a wellness device that combines several therapies into one session, including:

Ozone therapy

Carbonic acid therapy

Infrared sauna (hyperthermia)

Electrotherapy (PEMF)

CO₂ absorption

Aromatherapy and oxygen inhalation

(IMMUNE SUPPORT)
Let's break down how the individual components of the HOCATT might have potential relevance to cancer care—used as a supportive therapy, not as a primary treatment.

🔬 Potential Ways HOCATT May Be "Good" for Cancer – in Complementary Use
1. Ozone Therapy
How it works: Ozone (O₃) is a highly reactive molecule that may increase oxygen delivery to tissues and stimulate the immune system.

Cancer connection:
Some in vitro and animal studies suggest ozone may help improve oxidative stress regulation and support immune modulation.

May improve tissue oxygenation, which could support normal cellular metabolism and inhibit tumor hypoxia (a condition that makes tumors more aggressive).

Not proven to shrink tumors, but may assist with fatigue, immune function, and quality of life.

2. Carbonic Acid Therapy
Carbonic acid (CO₂ + H₂O) is absorbed through the skin and may help vasodilation (opening of blood vessels), increasing circulation and oxygenation.

Theoretically helpful in:

Supporting detox pathways

Enhancing immune cell activity

Again, this is supportive, not curative.

3. Infrared Sauna (Hyperthermia)
Hyperthermia (raising body temperature) has been studied for its role in sensitizing cancer cells to chemo/radiation and promoting apoptosis (cell death) in some tumor cells.

Benefits:

May improve circulation

May reduce pain and fatigue

May enhance the body’s stress response, improving immune function

Thermal therapy is already used in some cancer centers in Europe and the U.S. as adjunctive therapy, often under medical supervision.

4. PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields)
May help with:

Pain reduction

Cellular repair

Improved mitochondrial function

Some studies show anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerating effects, but evidence in cancer treatment is limited and not definitive.

5. Detoxification & Immune Modulation
Many cancer patients explore HOCATT for:

Improved lymphatic flow

Removal of metabolic waste

Increased energy and better sleep

Supporting immune resilience during chemotherapy or radiation

✅ When It May Be Considered
As a complementary therapy under the guidance of a qualified integrative or functional medicine doctor
For:
Cancer-related fatigue
Detox support during chemo
Pain management
Immune support
Mental well-being
Disclaimer:::
HOCATT is not a treatment for cancer, but it may offer symptom relief and immune support as part of a complementary care plan.

🧠 Why High-Dose IVC Might Help in Cancer
1. Pro-oxidant Effect (in tumors)
At high levels, vitamin C becomes a pro-oxidant, generating hydrogen peroxide in the extracellular fluid.

Cancer cells, due to lower catalase (H₂O₂ detox enzyme), are more vulnerable to this oxidative stress → may trigger cell death.

2. Chemo/Radiation Sensitizer
High-dose IVC may enhance the effectiveness of certain chemotherapies (e.g., cisplatin, paclitaxel) and radiation by:

Increasing oxidative stress in tumor cells
Decreasing damage to normal cells
Improving treatment tolerance

3. Supports Immune Function
Vitamin C enhances NK cell activity, T-cell proliferation, and phagocytosis.
May help in immune recovery after chemo.

4. Quality of Life Improvements
Clinical trials show:
Reduced fatigue
Less nausea and pain
Better appetite and mood
Improved physical function

Colorectal cancer: IVC with chemo (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI) → improved tolerance and reduced tumor progression in some cases.
[Nielsen TK, 2017]

Ovarian cancer: IVC + chemo (carboplatin/paclitaxel) showed fewer side effects and trends toward improved survival.
[Ma Y, 2014, Sci Transl Med]

Pancreatic cancer: IV vitamin C + radiation/chemo showed safety and possible synergy.
[Chen Q, 2008; Doskey, 2016]

Glioblastoma: Preliminary results show IVC may improve sensitivity to radiation.
[Allen BG, 2019]

Effect Cancer Impact
H₂O₂ generation Selectively toxic to cancer cells
Mitochondrial damage Promotes apoptosis
Anti-angiogenic May reduce tumor blood supply
DNA demethylation support May reactivate tumor suppressor genes
Collagen synthesis Strengthens tissue barriers

Safety and Side Effects
Generally well-tolerated when administered properly.
Common side effects:
Thirst or mild dehydration
Temporary fatigue
Nausea (rare)
Vein irritation (rare)
Screening is critical before use:
G6PD deficiency → risk of hemolysis
Kidney impairment → risk of oxalate kidney stones

Benefit Evidence Strength
Tumor cell toxicity Strong (in vitro, animals)
Chemotherapy/radiation sensitization Moderate (early clinical)
Quality of life support Moderate to strong
Tumor shrinkage or survival benefit

Who Might Consider It?
Patients undergoing chemo/radiation who want to reduce side effects
Patients seeking immune support or quality-of-life improvements
Those with few standard options left and looking for supportive care

When you are blessed by several patients. Shout out to Rebecca, Ervin, Peggy, and Linda. It restores and warms the heart! They blessed me with some homemade goodies and flowers, and help with the clinic 💐 🥰

I wanted to thank everyone for your patience and understanding while rescheduling your appointments. Here is an update on my husband:

Update on Rob. We would like to say thank you for all who have prayed for him. God has heard your prayers! He was discharged from the hospital and is doing well.
He was in Afib (new onset), turned into heart failure, pulmonary edema, 30 pounds of fluid around the upper body, and an acute kidney injury (with no urine production or output).
Not sure what caused it, but a weakened heart, high blood pressure, maybe teeth, who knows.
He was given iv medications to revert the afib, it didn't help and he continued to swell with fluids. They tried to pull off the fluid for support, but the kidneys were not working (no urine in the bladder or output). They decided he was becoming more symptomatic and needed to do a cardioversion. They did a procedure to check for blockages and pressure in the right side of the heart, there was a lot of pressure and fluid, but no blockages. They shocked his heart (cardioverted, stopped his heart to reset it), that worked to eliminate afib. His heart, although very agitated started to perfuse his body, which means his kidneys started working, produced urine! They gave him lasix (although too much, too fast (that's another story), which pulled off 25 pounds of fluid. He was on bi-pap to push out the fluids in the lungs, he started to feel better. His blood pressure is still high, he has resistant hypertension, meaning meds don't really help. He did have some pretty severe side effects from the fluid loss, but recovered quickly.
We came home. Overnight he lost another 3 pounds of fluids (good) without medication. Today he is tired and weak, but overall well. Trying to keep him from doing too much!
Thank you for all the prayers, please keep them coming if you think of us!

The clinic should be open for normal business next week.

Hi everyone. I want to let you know my family has had a medical emergency and the clinic hours may be off for a few days. I have received many calls and emails and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and patience! Prayers are also appreciated

Update:
My Husband went into afib (new onset) turned into hert failure, 22 pounds of fluid in 2 days, liver injury. And an acute kidney i jury with bery little to no urine production. They tried medication for two days with his body getting worse. Today they McR the decision to cardiovert (shock his heart) and see if they could know out afib. It worked. Due to his heart no pumping correctly all rhe orhwr i jurie happend and he will need to recover from those.

Thank you all for your understanding and prayers
