Detox & Heal
(Day 9)
Chapter 1: Healing Is Possible
When I Realized Food Wasn't the Problem
When we cured Jennifer in 2016, I had spent over 30 years researching health and immunity and biohacking, almost a decade blogging about natural health and running the world’s largest health blog network.
Over that time, I was exposed to a firehose of information from hundreds of natural health bloggers, researchers, authors and experts. From 2016 until today, in 2025, eventually, all of the puzzle pieces fell into place.
After I witnessed Jennifer's recovery, I had to dig deeper for answers.
It's Not the Food
My observations led me to a pivotal realization: it's not the food. It can't be.
Not primarily anyway. The natural health community’s obsession with food as the primary culprit for chronic illness is a fundamentally flawed paradigm.
I'm talking about gluten, dairy, sugar, carbs and other dietary triggers that people react to. Just because you react to something doesn't mean that thing is the problem.
Isn't it weird that humans lived on gluten and dairy for thousands of years and now, in the past few decades, we suddenly can't digest them?
Food and nutrition are only part of the puzzle. The root cause of disease is toxins. Real healing requires detoxification.
It's the Toxins
If the strictest version of Paleo, the Autoimmune Paleo diet (AIP) didn't fix her, it wasn't the food.
Her miraculous and almost immediate results after eliminating fluoride revealed that environmental toxins, not food, were the root cause. This completely shifted my perspective.
Gluten isn’t inherently harmful; we react to it because our bodies are overloaded with toxins. The constant fight against these toxins causes us to go into an auto-immune state, where the body starts attacking itself.
It isn't just gluten – the same applies to dairy, nightshades, sugar, and any other so-called trigger foods.
It Goes Beyond Nutritional Deficiencies
The work of pioneers like Dr. Weston A. Price, who emphasized nutritional deficiencies, is valuable. However, his conclusions may not have been correct.
He came to the conclusion that it was nutritional deficiencies that caused illness. While that is absolutely true, it's not the whole truth. It is only part of it.
Dr. Price studied secluded communities around the world who were eating traditional nutrient-dense foods and had no evidence of degenerative disease.
While Jennifer probably had a nutrient deficiencies, eating a healthier diet with more nutrient density didn't solve her issues. Her body was burdened by fluoride, a toxin accumulating in her bones and organs. She was unknowingly consuming fluoride in the water she was drinking, in medications she was taking, and in the food she was eating.
The Vitamin C Hypothesis
Fast-forward to January 2022. My husband called me from the doctor's office. He had just gotten a heart scan. The scan showed an ascending aortic aneurysm, which is a life-threatening condition. It's a weakening of the aorta, the main artery to the heart. If it ruptures, you can instantly die.
In an effort to save him, I started researching how to heal heart disease. All the mainstream articles said to eat more fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C.
I found article after article about Nobel Prize winning chemist Linus Pauling and his theory linking vitamin C deficiency to heart disease.
So I went to the grocery store and loaded up the cart with fruits and vegetables. I started serving my husband lots of salads and fruit juice.
It Didn't Add Up
But I was skeptical. After all, the mainstream media had just ushered us through a massive psyop. Starting in 2020, they pushed the COVID virus hoax, masks, social distancing, and quarantine in an extended manipulation to get us all to take a vaccine that injured and killed millions of people.
So if all the mainstream articles online were saying vitamin C was the answer to heart disease, then that couldn't be right.
And, in 2022, heart disease was the leading cause of death. Heart disease had been the leading cause of death in the United States since 1921, and globally since the 1950s.
Linus Pauling: Abject Failure or Lying Crook?
Linus Pauling had started advocating for the health benefits of vitamin C in his 1970 book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold. He expanded his vitamin C claims as a cure for cancer in 1979. And in 1989, he claimed that vitamin C was the cure for heart disease.
So if Pauling had realized that heart disease could by cured by vitamin C back in 1989, why was heart disease still the number one cause of death for over 30 years? And cancer has been the second top cause of death for the same amount of time. And we still don't have a cure for the common cold.
Linus Pauling's vitamin C hypothesis had zero evidence to support its veracity. Decades later, everyone was still dying from the diseases he said vitamin C could cure.
In other words, Pauling's hypothesis was an abject failure.
Or worse, it was a lie foisted upon the people.
Even worse, a misdirection to keep people sick and spending a fortune on drugs and surgery. In which case, he was a crook and a liar.
If Monstanto Says Raw Milk is Bad, Then Raw Milk is Good
This experience with Linus Pauling and vitamin C reminded me of how I came to find that raw milk was good for you. I was having trouble producing enough breastmilk for my daughter. I later found out it was because my doctor had put me on birth control pills – which I later found out can dry up your milk supply.
I was forced to temporarily supplement my milk supply with commercial baby formula, which I very quickly figured out was utter garbage. Not only was baby formula loaded with harmful vegetable oils, I read that it was contaminated with toxic chemicals like lead and arsenic. I had to find another way to feed my daughter.
That's when my Great Uncle Roy sent me a link to the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF), with a warning not to feed her soy formula. That led me down the rabbit hole of learning how to make homemade formula. WAPF recommended raw milk.
I started researching raw milk and found articles ranking at the top of Google, talking about dangerous it was. As I dug, I realized those articles were on sites run by dark money front groups that were funded by Big Ag companies, Monsanto and Cargill.
That was all I needed. I thought to myself, "If Monsanto says raw milk is bad, then raw milk must be good."
A Sign from God?
One day, a friend of mine, one of my homeschool antivax mom friends, texted me and asked, "Have you heard of MMS?"
"Yes, I think so, but I'm not sure what it is. Some kind of supplement?"
She said her naturopathic doctor had told her about it and she was thinking of giving it a try but wanted to know what I thought.
I believe that God talks to us every day. I believe he answers our questions and He's always trying to guide us. And I had been asking for a cure for my husband's heart disease.
So I pay attention to things like this. I thought, "What if this is a sign?"
So I started researching MMS.
MMS and Chlorine Dioxide
MMS is an acronym that stands for Miracle Mineral Supplement.
If you look Miracle Mineral Supplement up online, the top search result on Google leads to Wikipedia, which says:
"MMS is a branded name for an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide, an industrial bleaching agent, that has been falsely promoted as a cure for illnesses including HIV, cancer and the common cold."
Industrial bleaching agent? Sounds bad.
Falsely promoted as a cure? Oooh... sounds promising.
Wikipedia Lies
Ha! Why do I say that? Well, go look up vaccine on Wikipedia:
"A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious or malignant disease. The safety and effectiveness of vaccines has been widely studied and verified."
Their source for the safety and effectiveness of vaccines? The CDC. Pulleeease. The same people who lied to us about COVID and the poison death shot.
Now, let's read what Wikipedia says about raw milk:
"Raw milk or unpasteurized milk is milk that has not undergone pasteurization, a process of heating liquid foods to kill pathogens for safe consumption and extension of shelf life."
Their source for that claim? Bill Marler of Food Safety News. A guy who makes money off of food poisoning lawsuits. Biased, much?
Raw milk is dangerous deadly poison, but the vaccines are safe? Sure...
Bottom line: We can no longer trust Wikipedia or Google or any website or social media platform online based on their track record of actively suppressing and censoring information about the hazards of the COVID vaccine. Full stop.
What is MMS Actually?
Okay, so let's go back to MMS...
I'm walking you through this not to give you a complete understanding of MMS. We will dig into that in depth in Chapter 4. I'm covering this lightly now to help you understand how we are lied to.
By analyzing the lies, we can unravel what they are trying to cover up, and in turn, reveal the truth.
Wikipedia tells that MMS... "...is made by mixing aqueous sodium chlorite with an acid (such as the juices of citrus fruits or vinegar). This produces chlorine dioxide, a toxic chemical that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and life-threatening low blood pressure due to dehydration."
A toxic chemical that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and life-threatening low blood pressure due to dehydration?
So let's first look at the two parts that are mixed together to make MMS.
Most MMS (chlorine dioxide) kits contain two bottles: Part A (sodium chlorite) and Part B (hydrochloric acid).
What is Sodium Chlorite?
Okay stick with me... this will get a bit scienc-ey but I promise I'll speak in plain English and it be simple to understand and will make sense.
Sodium chlorite is a chemical compound that is essentially a form of salt.
Sodium Chloride vs. Sodium Chlorite
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt, and it has a neutral pH.
Sodium chlorite (NaClO2, with a T instead of a D) is also a salt, but it's alkaline instead of neutral.
Regular table salt, sodium chloride, has a neutral pH, like water or milk. Sodium chlorite, on the other hand, has a basic or alkaline pH, somewhere between baking soda and ammonia.
What Happens When You Mix Sodium Chlorite with an Acid?
You know how when you mix baking soda (which is alkaline) with vinegar (which is acidic), you can use it for cleaning?
Similarly, you can use sodium chlorite (an alkaline or base substance) with an acid to clean and disinfect. It's basically a chemical reaction.
When making chlorine dioxide, sometimes citric acid is used to make chlorine dioxide, but most people these days prefer hydrochloric acid.
What is Hydrochloric Acid?
Hydrochloric acid is stomach acid.
What?
Yes!
So when you mix sodium chlorite (a stronger, more alkaline form of salt) with stomach acid – kaboom! You get a disinfectant gas inside your body.
Imagine eating something that is basically a more alkaline version of salt, that mixed with the acid in your stomach, and would create a chemical reaction to form a gas inside your stomach that work powerfully to kill parasites, bacteria, fungi, and any other things that could hurt you.
The Censorship of Andreas Kalcker
As I started looked more into chlorine dioxide and MMS, I was led to the work of Andreas Kalcker, a German scientist whose 2019 book, Forbidden Health: Incurable Was Yesterday, is still banned in bookstores including Amazon at the time of this writing. (I highly recommend reading that book – you can get it on his website.)
Not only is Kalcker's book censored (which means there's a good chance it's telling the truth), but he himself is buried on Google.
Until recently, when you typed his name in to Google, it would show negative articles about him, calling him a quack and a scam artist. They show him now, but they still will not link to his website. And they are linking to books supposedly by him that he says he is not selling – and had no part in selling.
Now compare what you find on Yandex – his website comes right up at the top:
In my experience in the past several years of extreme censorship online, the more censored something is, the more likely it is to be truthful.
If the establishment dismisses health solutions as “dangerous” or “unscientific,” it often signals they’re onto something powerful. Kalcker’s insights into chlorine dioxide, a tool for detoxifying the body, confirmed what I was beginning to suspect: toxins, not food, are the primary drivers of dis-ease.
My Big Ah Ha Moment: Andreas Kalcker & Oxidization
One day I was binge-listening to video interviews with Andreas Kalcker on Rumble when I heard him say something that was just like the moment in The Wizard of Oz when Toto pulls back the curtain.
He said that chlorine dioxide is oxidizing. All of a sudden it make sense. Chlorine dioxide is an oxidant. Vitamin C is an antioxidant.
No wonder Linus Pauling was pushing vitamin C for the corrupt Medical Industrial Complex. It does the exact opposite of what we want!
If God designed the body with hydrochloric acid in our stomachs which combines with alkaline salt to create chlorine dioxide, and chlorine dioxide is oxidizing, then vitamin C would kill that oxidation.
In fact, Kalcker and other chlorine dioxide experts have said that if you ever have a negative reaction with chlorine dioxide, you can just consume some vitamin C to counteract it. I'm not saying vitamin C is bad for you. It's just not as good for you as they say. It's a distraction.
Oxidation is Detoxification
And this must be why, I thought, they were always pushing heartburn drugs on us. They reduce stomach acid. Which would cause the opposite of what we want.
I'll be going into depth on all of this in future chapters. Suffice it to say, when I realized that chlorine dioxide was an oxidizer and vitamin C, an antioxidant, was the main thing they were promoting as a cure for heart disease and cancer, I knew I had hit upon a goldmine.
If they were telling us we needed vitamin C, which is an antioxidant, then we must need more oxidation, not less. Which makes a lot of sense when you realize that is the oxidative action of chlorine dioxide that detoxifies the body.
So maybe it wasn't the food that was making us sick after all. Maybe it was the toxins. And what we really need is to detoxify.
Detox Speeds Healing
My own healing from rheumatoid arthritis took two years because I relied solely on diet and supplements. I didn't know anything about detoxing.
Jennifer’s faster recovery proved that detoxing specific toxins, like fluoride, could yield results in a matter of weeks.
Today, with advanced detox tools (explored in Chapters 4-6), we can potentially heal even more rapidly by addressing metals, parasites, and other toxins with multiple detox methods.
In the next chapter, I’ll introduce the paradigm that ties this all together: the interplay of microbes, metals, magnetism, and malnutrition.
Healing is possible, but it starts with recognizing that food isn’t the main problem. Toxins are. By detoxifying our bodies, we can restore our natural resilience and reclaim our health from a system designed to keep us sick.
