Dear Dr. Kim: What is the importance of
juicing and how can it help in healing cancer?
Juicing primarily
vegetables offers the body the much needed nutrients for survival while taking
the load off of the organs and digestive system, allowing the body to heal.
Tumors live and especially thrive on foods such as sugars, yeast products,
vinegars, mold producing foods and are nourished greatly by proteins. When
eliminating these foods and by relying on juicing the cancerous growths are
then forced to starvation, the tumor dies and the body (YOU) live. It is
however vital that you focus on vegetable juicing rather than fruits as fruits
are a natural source of sugar and accelerates cancer growth. Keep in mind that
raw uncooked vegetables are loaded with live enzymes and live food brings life
and dead foods bring death.
Dear Dr. Kim: What can I use naturally
to stop a fever?
A fever IS NOT part of an
illness but rather one way the body eradicates an illness. It IS part of the
cure NOT the cause of an illness or infection just as vomiting and diarrhea
are also. These are the bodies natural cleansing responses to toxicity that
does not belong in the system. Fevers should only be halted if excessively
high or continuing too long. If you medicate to halt any of these responses
you will be allowing the illness or infection to thrive in the system and
therefore will be ill much longer than needed. ALLOW YOUR BODY TO CLEANSE
NATURALLY! Now, if a fever should exceed 103-103.5 degrees, then cool the body
as needed with tepid water using cloths or Epsom salt baths. Apply peppermint
oil, which is very cooling, to the spine, chest, abdomen and feet. Drink
plenty of fluids including water, peppermint tea, juices and broths. Keep
covered and warm so you can sweat out the toxins. Only medicate as a last
resort. See your health care provider if the fever persists more than 3 days
or if these suggestions do not control the fever, as there may be a more
serious problem that needs attention.
Dear Dr. Kim: Can I use natural
therapies for my pets?
Of course you can!
Anything that can be administered to us can also be given to your pets, but
should be given in doses for their size. Obviously we cannot expect to give a
10 pound furry friend the same dose as a 150 pound human. Pets can be healed
physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually just as we humans are. Our
pets can be healed of cancer, arthritis, skin, eye and ear disorders, bad
breath, parasites, viral infections such as parvo ( My own dog was healed
after we were told she would never survive the virus and to take her home to
die or put her asleep...I refused, treated her and the vet was amazed that she
survived and was up and running 3 days later), emotional trauma, behavioral
problems in which you can utilize Bach flower remedies, etc... and they love
bodywork and relaxation treatments such as Reiki, massage and acupressure.
Home births are another must for our special four legged friends. Choose a
comfortable place with a soft blanket, relaxing music, candlelight, essential
oils and use massage during the birthing process. This is very much
appreciated, just ask my “PO-PO” cat. She has come to me all four times
for her birthing as she knew it would be a comforting experience for her.
Extremely gratifying for both of us. Trust me, your pets will love the
pampering you give them and will appreciate the healing qualities of natural
medicine and therapies.
