And welcome everyone to today's Whole Body Detox Show. I'm David De Haas from Living Waters Wellness Center. Living Waters Wellness Center was formed after we discovered how to heal my body from multiple symptoms, including allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue, back pain, psoriasis, acne, hives, yeast infections, and finally cancer. And I did it all naturally. After 20 years of trying numerous different treatments, medical treatments, cleanses, iridology, muscle therapy, acupuncture, acupressure, homeopathy, naturopathy, those experiences led us to discover that recipe that led to become known as the Four Natural Laws of Healing. Combining multiple natural healing modalities to fully detox and cleanse the body and allowing the body to take the perfect nutrition to fully restore the body back to its innate health. This became known as a 10-day healing retreat. We've helped thousands of people, just like you, get their health restored so they can live their life to the fullest.

Today's episode is going to be about chickenpox and shingles vaccines, and I'm taking my information directly from Dr. David Brownstein's Natural Way to Health newsletter, which you should be a subscriber. You get that over at Newsmax. They can give you a subscription to that. I just find his information so spot on and very entertaining and informing at the same time. I've had chicken pox, I've had shingles. You know, I grew up in the 60s and 70s, and I think I think we all got the polio vaccine, a few others, but uh we're gonna talk about natural immunity. We're gonna talk about are these vaccines safe, when they come into being? What should you be doing today if you do get shingles? Because I've had shingles, and uh my mother's had shingles and a few people in the family, so I got some interesting stories to share what we did naturally to help our own shingles, and what do we do with our kids? Well, I can tell you our journey started in uh in the uh see man was born in 86. My next daughter was born in 1990. By 1991, we figured out that there was definitely something going on with my young daughter who was always having fits and just pass out and eventually found a homeopath who said, Do not ever stick here with another needle again, or you may kill her. And it shocked the heck out of us because what we grew up to know is that, well, vaccines are this great, great thing, right? They're gonna provide immunity. Well, you know, there's never been a double-blind crossover placebo study against a a uh an inert uh a group that did not have a shot of some kind. They've always compared these uh vaccines to other people who have taken a different shot or a previous shot. So uh I'd call that fraudulent. I don't know what you call it, but I'd call it not truthful. So we're starting a lot out of this issue today. Uh so let's talk about what is shingles? Well, it's a viral infection caused by the Versilla zoster virus, V Z V, the same virus that causes chicken pox. So, as he mentions here, when we were kids, uh, I'm guessing he's probably near my age, we got chicken pox. In fact, he was always encouraged to get it. Go visit somebody who's got the vaccine, or who, I'm sorry, who's got the virus, get infected, spend the week or so to just go through it, and you're gonna have lifetime immunity. So that's what we did back in the day. But this uh VZV survives in a latent state within the sensory nerves around the spine. Specifically, it can live in a suspended state in the dorsal root ganglia or the cranial nerve ganglia within the skull. If a problem occurs within the immune system, VZV may reactivate and cause herpes zoster, also called shingles. The disease often manifests as a one-sided body rash with clear vesicles on a reddish base. The rash can be accompanied by burning pain that may be severe or even debilitating. So, how does it develop? Well, it's a double-stranded DNA virus surrounded by a lipid envelope. A lot of big words there. VZV infects cells by finding its envelope within the cell membrane. The DNA in VZV is protected in a capsid, a protein shell that surrounds and protects this DNA from degradation once fused with the cell membrane. The viral DNA is then transported into the host nucleus where it begins the process of replicating. So this means VZV integrates with human DNA in order to use the host cell machinery to make copies of the virus. Well, chicken pox is a highly contagious infection before the vaccine was placed on the childhood vaccine schedule in 1995. Chickenpox is a very common childhood disease. We all expected to get it and recover uneventfully in a few days. There was no fear of the infection. In fact, families would have chickenpox parties, measles parties, I remember it well. The reason we did this is because we won lifetime immunity, as I mentioned earlier. But as noted, VZV can remain latent in nerve tissues around the spinal cord and can reactivate to cause shingles. So the symptoms of chicken pox include red itchy bumps on the face, chest, and back. A few days after the appearance of the bumps, they form clear, fluid-filled viscals that turn into small blisters. Scabbing of the blisters is the last stage of the illness indicating the disease is on the way out. Fever, headache, loss of appetite, and fatigue can also accompany the rice. Now, was it fun to have it? No. It was not fun to have it, but it was just part of what we went through. And because child most children were expected to develop disease at some point, there was no mandatory reporting of chickenpox. It was just assumed nearly all kids would be infected eventually. So it got licensed. The VeraVax chicken pox vaccine was licensed in 1995 for use in children 12 months and older. The advisory committee on immunization practices recommended routine vaccinations for all healthy children in 1996. Still continues to this day. When it came out, um I'm gonna skip that part. So Big Pharma started promoting this, and I think this was pr pretty cool what he uh So when Dr. Brownstein uh was in residency at that time, Big Pharma came out and started promoting the chicken box vaccine. Because healthy children rarely suffered severe, serious adverse effects from the infection and gained lifelong immunity when they recovered. Well, how they could promote this because people that they needed the vaccine. Well, they did an ad campaign, of course. And the main selling point was that parents wouldn't have to miss work to take care of a sick kid. Both mainstream media and medical journals were inundated with articles professing the benefit of the vaccine. It made economic sense. They wrote, Parents become we're not having to lose wages, won't miss work. Anyway, as he writes here, he says, I wasn't buying it and he followed his gut. But are kids healthier today? Well, not really. Uh a few decades ago, in 1980, kids got seven different vaccines in a total of 24 doses. Now they get 19 vaccines with at least 73 doses. Yet today, more than 50% of the U.S. children suffer from at least one chronic disorder. Uh back in 1970, it was, he writes here, 20%. I think in the 60s it was 6%. Uh and so we've been on a trajectory of sick, increasing sick kids ever since then. So what's in it? What's in the vaccine? Because of the live vaccine, Varabax does not contain a preservative, which is a good thing. However, each dose contains monosodium glutamate. Yeah, the same thing found in some foods. Uh-oh. Well, what can that cause? So they're supposed to ensure that these vaccines are safe and properly studied for safety and efficacy, but I wouldn't assume anything. In fact, MSG has never been studied in randomized placebo-controlled trials to determine that it's safe to infect into living beings. So you might assume, as we talked about earlier, we might assume that MSG, which is uh the uh preservative they're using in the vaccine, is safe. But as we mentioned in the previous segment, it's never been proven. So researchers have used injectable forms of MSG in mice to damage areas of the brain, so that post-MSG-induced brain damage could be studied. Well, another study in rats found MSG injections promoted the development of tumors. So when the FDA reviewed the alleged health hazards of MSG in 2019, the authors of that study stated although MSG is generally recognized as being safe, there's that grass word, by food safety regulatory agencies, several studies have questioned its long-term safety. The purpose of this review was to survey the available literature on preclinical studies and clinical trials regarding the alleged adverse effects of MSG. The authors conclude that further clinical and epidemiological studies are needed. In fact, research has linked to tumor in genesis, that's the transformation of normal cells to cancer cells and cancer growth, increased oxidative stress and genotoxic effects in lymphocytes, that's your white blood cells. The safety of injecting MSG into a child has not been properly studied and is not supported by current scientific evidence. So, moms and dads, listen up here. You're taking a risk by having something that has not been fully studied put into your child. Well, 55 years ago, researchers reported that high doses of MSG caused significant neuronal damage in the hypothalamus and retina of neonatal mice. It has also been shown to cause excitotoxicity in the brain visa overstimulation of glutamate receptors, which can lead to neuronal death. Multiple other peer-reviewed reports have reported brain damage associated with MSG use. But they put it in our food as well. And lots of foods, guys, if you look, monosudum glutamate, and they use other names today as well. We've mentioned this on the show in the past. And some of you probably have severe allergies to it. So the problems with the vaccine that are associated with it. The package insert for VeraVax indicates that chicken pox occurs in 5% who received the vaccine. In addition, one of the original arguments for the vaccine was that those who received it would have immunity against shingles. That has been proven false. Shingles occurs in people who received the chickenpox vaccine at similar rates as those who recovered from natural infection with VZV. And the chickenpox vaccine is not without risks. Possible adverse effects from VeraVacs include anaphylaxis, aplastic anemia, autoimmune disease. And don't we see a lot of that today? Encephalitis, Goliam Barr syndrome, meningitis, neocrotizing retinitis, stroke, transverse myelitis. In addition, seizures occur, seizures occur, get this, and about one in 940 children vaccinated with the VZV vaccine. Approximately 33 cases of permanent disability or death from chickenpox vaccine are reported to the vaccine adverse event reporting. And we know that only about 10% get reported. That's not a good thing. We'll come back in a moment. You've been listening to the whole body detox show. I'm David Dahas from Living Waters, LivingWatersCleans.com.

SPEAKER_03 11:59

I'm Diane Hawkes, and I'm here at Living Waters. I was recently re-diagnosed with breast cancer. And so I came here knowing that I had a lot of toxins and parasites because I have spent a lot of time in barns and with animals and livestock. And so after being here and spending time doing the colonics and the biomed and the T-Zone and the wonderful nourishing food, I feel really empowered and healing from any of my issues that I've had. So I'm very grateful for Living Waters.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

Hi, my name's Tammy, and the reason I came to Living Waters is because I'm almost 64 and I was thinking it's time to be proactive in doing some preventative healing. I don't have any major issues that I'm aware of, but I was feeling kind of sluggish and thought, you know what? It's time to do a cleanse. So I called a friend of mine and told her I was going to go up to Montana and do a cleanse there. And she said, no, you gotta go to Living Waters. They are the best. So I called up and I got in right away. And I've been here for 10 days and it's been absolutely amazing. I have had such a great time with the staff. I tell you, the staff is incredible. They're fun and they just make you feel so welcome. And I love the products. I love all the different things that we did. And I feel so amazing. Like before I got here, I was just feeling kind of blah. And now I just feel like I'm like, I'm 34 again. Anyway, that's my story. Thank you, Living Waters.

Talk to a healthcare professional and see if cleansing is right for you. Welcome back to the show. David Dehas from LivingWaters Cleanse, LivingWatersCleanse.com, and the whole by D Talk Show. Today we're talking about the chicken box vaccine and shingles. So for you folks in my age range, just boomers, getting shingles is not a fun thing to have at our stage, but most of us have got immunity, lifelong immunity, because we had the chicken box. But what happens when we do get the shingles? And today in this show, I'm going to disclose before we get off here today one what you should do if you do get uh shingles. Should you get the shot that's out there? We'll talk about that too and what's going on there. Studies have shown that as a few of 1% of serious adverse effects from medical interventions are reported to various. Just 1%. Therefore, 33 reported cases could mean more than 3,000 serious adverse reactions are occurring each year. On the other hand, chicken box is not a totally benign illness. A child who becomes ill with chicken box can also suffer serious consequences. As with any medical therapy, the risk and benefits must be weighed in order to make an informed decision. I concur. So he goes on to write that he never saw shingles affect a child seriously. And I think that's true in the group that I grew up in as well. I mean, we all got it, we all had it, and um you know, again, a small sample population in the community that I was in, but it wasn't really a big deal. And the cool thing was is that if you got infected, and if you were around some of your your grandmother and your grandfather and your aunts or uncles, well, guess what that helped with their immunity. So when the child would become ill with the chicken pox, the young would appear on expose the adult's immune system to VZV. And because the chicken pox vaccine was so successful, 60% to 85%, at keeping children from becoming ill with chicken pox, the decline in adult exposure to the virus has resulted in an increase, get that, an increase in shingles cases in both children and adults of all ages. So you get the vaccine and now you don't have the natural exposure, the natural immunity going on. So what the downstream effect of that is you're increasing people eventually having shingles. A 1998 study found that during a period of increasing chickenpox vaccination, shingle rates were up, went up 90%. Let me read that again. The 1998 study found that during a period of increasing chickenpox vaccination, shingle rates went up 90%. And a 2000 California study reported an 18% increase of shingles in adults ages 20 to 69 during high rates of chickenpox vaccination. So from this and the other data, it has been determined that periodic re-exposure to chickenpox infection plays a significant role in maintaining immunity, immune suppression of VZV, and inhibiting reactivation of the virus. So he goes on to write here. Yeah, it's a great thing. A vaccine for shingles, shingrit. Well, it's a great business model as he writes. First vaccinate with Verivax, children from a relatively benign disease, chickenpox, cause an increase in cases of another illness, shingles. And then develop another vaccine, shingrix, to present the problem caused by the first vaccine. And then he writes, count the money. So shingrix is indicated for the prevention of shingles caused by VZV reactivation in healthy adults 50 and older, as well as those 18 and older who have immunodeficiency. The vaccine contains recumbent VZV along with the adjuvant, AS01. The adjuvant is a form of bacterial lipopolysaccharide, a known endotoxin. Yes, the word endotoxin, that's part of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. This is an extremely toxic substance which enters the bloodstream. It has been demonstrated that LPS, that's the lipopolysaccharide, can cause a cascade of inflammatory cytokines, immune system proteins leading to fever and widespread inflammation. This can lead to septic shock, multi-organ failure, and death. Small amounts, one microgram to two micrograms, can cause systemic inflammation. The literature on ASO1 is incomplete. In fact, he couldn't find any safety studies in which it was compared to a true placebo. Shocking not. Oh my gosh, ladies and gentlemen. Trying to tell us it's everything, it's fine, nothing to see here. Meanwhile, you've got a lot of problems that have come up, and of course, it's all coming to life.com, 208-3789-911. Personally, he says I've had two cases of shingles, both of which were successfully treated with this therapy. All my pain resolved within hours, within hours of injection. So daily injections with one milligram of hydrooxocobalamin, that's vitamin B12, for 30 days will benefit patients. L lysine, in a dose of 1,000 milligrams twice per day, can help stop VZV from replicating. And early use of antiviral medications, such as acclovir or vacclovir, I probably butchered those names, has also been beneficial. The earlier the treatment for shingles is started, the better the results will be. So as he writes here, when I was in med school, I was taught to memorize the CDC schedule. And, you know, that's that's the sad part, but you know, so many holistic physicians they're waking up and coming to the conclusion that it's all not what it appears to be. Now, I'm going to tell you David's story about getting shingles. And uh this happened to me back in 1991, a lot of stress in my world. I tore my ACL and my meniscus, and I'd got the shingles, and it was around my waist. I saw a homeopath and he looked at me. He told me, Well, don't go do surgery for your uh knee right now. You might not wake up after anesthesia. And then uh I think he gave me a small remedy, and I don't, it's been so long ago, I don't remember if he did or didn't, but at that time, but I had my wife had two grandmothers. So this is a tale of two grandmothers. One grandmother got the shingles and she took the drugs, and she was miserable for over a year. The grandmother too, who gave us a book called Life Prevention, she was always giving us this little information about you know how to heal the body naturally. She decided, she'd been she drank cayenne pepper. She would put a capsule of cayenne pepper, she just break it apart, put it in water, drink it every day. And her shingles went away in just a few weeks. When I got it, it was miserable. They prescribed me the drug, and I thought about it for a moment, started to take it, and I thought, you know what, grandma number two, I'm going with what you're doing. So I did the same thing. I used the cayenne pepper. And we've talked about cayenne pepper in a previous episode. Cayenne pepper is the most written-about herb. If you don't know about cayenne pepper and all the things it does, you need to be taking, I mean, cayenne pepper, you should be taking every day, really, I believe. And I don't take it every day, but nearly. Uh and I got I put all my foods. So cayenne pepper and my shingles went away very quickly. So let's just talk about we're coming into the season, the cold and flu season. You know, should you get the vaccines? What can you do naturally to prevent getting sick in the first place? Well, just a few things. First of all, I had Dr. Thomas Levy on uh uh about 10 weeks ago, I think it's episode 275, and And he wrote a book called Curing the Incurable. And everything out there can be healed with high doses of vitamin C. So if you get it, I would probably not only look at this ozone injection, which he talked about, but I'd be taking vitamin C just every day. I would take probably a thousand milligrams. If you get sick, up it. We teach you here at Living Waters when we come through our 10-day healing retreat. I teach you how to muscle test so you can muscle test for how much you should take. So you want to look at that. Come back in a moment for our fourth segment, and we're going to talk more about what you can do to increase immunity naturally.

That's 208-3789911. The preceding examples may not be typical of your experience, may not be right for you. Talk to a healthcare professional and see if cleansing is right for you. Welcome back on the show. I'm David DeHas from LivingWatersCleanse.com on the Hold by D Talk Show. Today on KIO Talk Radio, we're talking about shingles. We're talking about smallpox vaccines. Should you get the shingles vaccine? If you missed any parts of the show, you need to go over and check out the whole podcast at wholebody detalkshow.com. We've got 290 episodes up now. This last six years, we've got a lot of information over there for you to understand how to detoxify and properly heal the body naturally. There's a lot of information on our website as well, livingwaterscleanse.com. As we finished up here on the last segment, as I mentioned earlier, the literature on ASO1, which is in the vaccine, on the Schingrix vaccine, they found no safety studies. He couldn't find any. Well, Schingrix vaccination is associated with Gullian Barr syndrome, Gulane Barr syndrome, as well as immune system disorders such as angioedema, that's sudden swelling, and hives, in addition, acute inflammatory inflammatory myelating poly neuroopathy, they're labeling that AIDP, a condition in which the immune system attacks the myelin sheaths of the peripheral nerves. That was recorded after injection. Is it safe to inject LPS into a living being? No. Understanding the effects of this adjuvant should lead any physician or patient to question the safety of the shingles vaccine. The package for this shingrix states that in 2.3% of cases, serious adverse effects report up to 30 days after vaccination. According to the FDA, serious adverse effects include hospitalization, life-threatening circumstances, congenital anomaly, birth defect, or death. But how effective is the shingrix? According to the package insert, the vaccine is 97.2% effective. As Dr. Brownseed has written before, that kind of relative risk number is used to embellish the effectiveness of medications. Even the FDA stated that relative risk numbers can make poorly performing therapies appear to be more beneficial than they really are. In the case of shingritz, the absolute risk benefit, a more instructive assessment of a therapy's effectiveness was get this. 2%. 2%. That means 98% of those who received the vaccine got no benefit in the study. 98% got absolutely no benefit. You know, you just got to play with the maths, folks. You just got to play with the math. Of course, shingles can be a terrible disease, but the shingles vaccine can also cause all side effects. Knowing your absolute risk reduction from vaccination along with the potential side effects will allow you to make an informed decision about whether or not to receive shingriks. And again, when you go to get these, ask for the if you're if you're on that side and say, you know, I like my vaccines, I want to get my shots, ask for the package inserts and then read it. Well, I think it's paragraph seven gives you all the warnings you need to know. And then think, critically think about it. So Dr. Brownstead's been treating shingles for decades. At the first sign of disease, the characteristic rash or pain in the area of skin that receives nerve signals, injecting ozone gas along the nerve root near the spine has proven very successful. Ozone's amazing. I found this to be quite enlightening. I am a big fan of using ozone. We have an ozone machine here. I've used it on myself for my mold issue. Uh I've used it for healing from some uh you know common cold and flu stuff. I've used it for some ear issues on my mom. Ozone's amazing. So I found this interesting that they can do an injection along the spine and be successful. And I I know some people here in town who are do who do that. So if you want to know, you can reach out to the office. And we've been talking about boosting your immunity and what you should do. Should you go out and get this uh vaccine or should you not? And I think if you've listened to me for the last three segments, you've come to the conclusion like I have. Why would you when you can take care of it very easily with uh ozone therapy or vitamin C, or let's talk about just general prevention. Usually shingles is going to pop up because you've been stressed. And I know this will be true after 20-some years of helping people, teaching people how to use nutrition and other things to heal their body naturally, that there's always a factor of what happened emotionally. What was the stressor that caused this? In every situation, there's always been a stressful event sometime in your life, and maybe it didn't appear physically or manifest physically until later life, maybe 20, 30, 40, 50 years later. I've seen it happen 60 years later. So, stress, you know, what's going on? What are you doing on a daily basis to practice and keep your stress down? Are you meditating? Are you singing, humming, dancing, go out and put your feet in the grass or in the dirt? If you can sit out and read a book for 10 minutes a day or five minutes a day, you're grounding, you're getting those negative ions into your body. Do things that are fun for you. Shake your booty. If it's dancing, dance. You got to do those things to make yourself happy. And happiness, I can't remember the episode, but Dr. Cousins shared with us in that episode. I'll put the notes in the show link on the Whole Body Detox Show podcast. He laughed his disease away. He bought a whole bunch of VHS tapes back in the 90s, went to a hotel room, plugged them in, and he just laughed his buns off every day. I like to chop garlic. I put garlic in everything, but I chop garlic, and I would start out with maybe a quarter teaspoon to a half a teaspoon, chop the garlic up, raw garlic, chop it up, and just swallow it down, put it in some applesauce, swallow it down whole. Garlic is antifungal, antiviral, uh, antibacterial. Garlic is a natural uh antibiotic that you can take. And I, again, we mentioned in the previous segment uh taking cayenne pepper and vitamin C, high doses of vitamin C, go listen to that episode with Dr. Thomas Levy, episode 280, I think it's 275. And uh then, of course, colon hydrotherapy. You know, if you're constipated to any degree, and you know, 98% of you listening to the show today are constipated. And how what's the definition of constipation? Well, if you're eating, uh let's say you're eating three meals a day, that's 21 meals a week, and you're pooping maybe once a day, you think you're great. Well, let me ask you this. What's happened with the other 14 meals? They're sitting somewhere in your body. So imagine this for a moment. Have you ever pushed poop through a screen door? Well, neither have I. But imagine a poop being squished through a screen door. When old poop, old fecal matter is sitting in the colon, the colon's got a tube about two and a half to three inches in diameter. That tube, though, can expand to as big as 16 inches. And I've got pictures down here showing you colons that have been taken out of people who were every bit of that. Maybe had 50, 60 pounds of just old poop in there. Well, now what happens is that that old poop is now getting into the blood system because it swishes into the tissue, gets in the blood, gets up to the liver, gets systemic, it gets into your lymphatic system. And a sign of that is if you've got armpits, if you smell your arm, you go, oh man, my armpit, woo-hoo, bam, I gotta get some deodorant on that. No, that's a sign. That's a sign that you've got poopy lymph in your lymphatic system, and the lymphatic system has 45 pints of fluid. Compare that to 10 pints of blood in your body. So it's a big system, 800 lymph nodes. And if your armpits are stinking, you got a lot of stuff in your colon. I remember the first time I did my first 10-day retreat. I went onto a basketball court. First of all, my muscles didn't ache. I ran like I was 19 years old. I couldn't believe it. I played for two and a half hours, got done, you know, sweated profusely, and you know, and I didn't smell at all. It's like, what? It's like, wow, that's amazing. So, and we've known that to be true, and we've been doing, you know, we've been down this road. I've been doing colon hydrotherapy for 30 years. Look at the first effective way to heal is take care of the gut. Like Dr. Bernard Jensen said, he had a ranch in California, treated over 350,000 people. He could have 160 people a day on his ranch doing colonics, including the great Dr. Gerson. Come up every year and do a 10-day. And he says, you know what? If you want to get well, you've got to begin with the gut. And that's what we've seen as well over the years. I don't care what issue you have, until you heal the gut, you're gonna be chasing symptoms. You're gonna be doing taking all kinds of things. I've had people come in here, been sick for years. Some people in wheelchairs, some people with walkers, and and you know, when they get done, they're walking out of here. They're better. Uh you know, their face goes from gray to pink. They feel so much better, they get their activity back. So I would be doing those things. And the other big thing is you need to be taking a good quality vitamin supplement. In the show notes of the podcast, I've got a link that says David's favorite supplements. Go over and hit that link, it'll take you where you can set up a little wholesale account to get my favorite supplement wholesale. I would do that. So be taking a good quality vitamin supplement. Stay away from the sugars. When you eat sugar, that decreases your immune system for about four to six hours or longer. So, and if you're a sugar addict like I used to be, the best thing for you to do is come to a 10-day healing retreat. Your addictions, whether it's sugar, candy bars, smoking, any of the drugs, whatever it is, it's an emotional chemical addiction. And the beauty of our 10-day healing retreat is that when we clean out the body, we're not just detoxifying the colon. Everything upstream now has a place to travel. So if you've got lung issues, if you're coffinant, hacking, and maybe you've got asthma, I'm gonna tell you I've had so many people with asthma, pneumonia even, come in, and what that one guy was hospitalized. And I says, What are you doing? Get in here, come and do some colonics. You're gonna feel so much better. And you know what? He did he did three to four colonics, and after the first one, he felt tremendously better, but he he kept going. And he said, You know, I not only am I feeling better, Dad, but I'm sleeping for the best I've ever slept in a long, long time. So everything upstream, your liver is hurting because you've got that poop going through the screen door, if you will, into the tissues of your colon, getting into the liver, now it's in the blood, and now you've got dirty toxic blood. And some of you, your hormones are out of whack, your adrenals are out of whack. Your liver does so much for you, but when it's taking these toxins, and it's got to store them someplace because if you're constipated, it's not gonna put them through the intestinal tract because it's gonna be recycled back to it anyway. So maybe it'll store some of those toxins in the fat, the subcontainous tissue under your skin. And those of you with hive, psoriasis, uh, skin issues, and you know, you can't figure out why. Well, it's the downstream. It's what's happening in the colon. Now the liver's toxic. Just had a client here this week. Oh, yeah, my liver, my liver enzymes are off. Well, of course they're off. The gals have been constipated for a long time. They put on accutane for two years, they put her on antibiotics for a year, now you blew up the gut microbiome. It's the wrong way to go about it, my friends. Look at it, I've been I've been sick of my life, really, really, really sick. I've had cancer, allergies, asthma. I almost, you know, the hantavirus almost died from that, but I've healed everything naturally. And you can too. Go over to the website, livingwaterscleanse.com, invest 60 minutes to watch that video.

Because if you cleanse it, I don't care what age you are, if you cleanse your body, you're gonna live better, you'll think better, memory gets better. I mean, all these things get better once we get the toxins out. I'm David Haas, Living Waters, LivingWatersCleanse.com 208 3789911. Until next week, have a blessed week, my friends.
