I want information referring to detoxification methods people here have used/heard of

I'm with you on that! It's a pet peeve of mine whenever I've gone to a practitioner and s/he says to discontinue all supplements I was already taking and switch over to their brand, with no regard for how much $$ I'd already spent or the possibility that some of those supplements might suffice just fine.

It can be a tough balancing act. For example, many people who come to see me have already tried- or are taking- probiotics. But often times I would recommend different strains, a different dose, or both.

I usually leave it up to the patient to decide. I just give them the best theory and recommendations I feel I can muster. I like to have DNA microbiome analysis done whenever possible... but insurance doesn't always cover it and the test is $500 out-of-pocket.

You probably wouldn't be surprised to learn that a fair amount of people just want me to "tell them what to do." Those tend to be the most frustrating cases...

Which is fine, but she still had this "I am the leader" mentality.

I just always found that so strange... didn't Jesus teach that the "Kingdom of God" is within us, and not to trust anybody that encourages us to look outside of ourselves?

Everything? Dogs? Cats? Horses? Mice? Rats? Babies? Young children?

No no... I meant "everything" to apply to every treatment. Not everybody that receives the treatment.

Alternative practitioners, on the other hand, are usually more resistant, because they are already so embedded in some protocol. I believe many of them turn it down because (perhaps subconsciously) they are afraid of being put out of business.

Yeah- that's why I am leery of developing a formal protocol. But I do like options... and for the same price as my initial visit a person could get my "Gut Rehab Kit" and try it out for two weeks. It's not something that is meant for people to be on forever and ever.

Also, I think you might be onto something with the fear of losing business by getting people well. I think that applies across the board- to both mainstream and alternative practitioners.

It is one of the reasons why we started another business. The practice only provides about 15% of our total income... just enough to pay for itself and my student loan bills. And of that income, only about 15% is from the actual sale of supplements.

I freaking HATE promoting my practice. Usually, I just write articles and do SEO on my website, and people find me through the Internet or word of mouth. But it can be frustrating knowing that there are all these other practitioners out there who have no scruples about playing the Pied Piper with their patients....

Knowing that our DISinfo could cause someone to DIE who otherwise might have been healed?

I know what you mean! That is exactly how I feel when people from the raw juicing community encourage everybody- especially very sickly and weak people- to consume massive amounts of fructose, and dangerously low quantities of protein. It's like... don't they even CARE enough to understand the basic nutritional needs of the human body before guru-fying themselves all over the Internet?!

So I've had to just accept that those who choose healing will find our machine, and those who fall for the slick advertising of the junk, have, on some level, chosen illness and maybe even death.

Yup. It all comes down to acceptance and control.

I had always interpreted that to mean emotional and spiritual battles, rather than bloody wars. I hope I wasn't wrong on that, because that would totally suck if 4D still has rampant violence. How would that be any better than 3D, in that case?

Oh gosh yes... I am quite sure the bloody wars will end! And besides... once fully established in 4D... will bodies even have blood?!

But you were talking about people trying to outdo each other... so that's what I was getting at... emotional and mental battles.

I dunno about spiritual battles though... what would that even mean? A love v. light "deathmatch"?!
