You have blisters filled with a watery fluid that itch like crazy. Could it be a plant poison like poison ivy? You treat it, but the itching doesn’t stop, and the desire to scratch is overwhelming. The usual remedies - creams, soaps, lotions, sprays aren’t working. The eruptions are commonly found on the back of the neck, the scalp, elbows, knees, back, hairline, groin or face. I have also seen them on the inner arms and behind the knees. Intense itching or burning is often felt before the blisters appear.
The cause of this symptom could be gluten or gliadin intolerance, and these vesicles are Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH). Intolerance to gluten, the amino acid sequence found in gliadin (wheat, barley, rye, and other grains), can go undetected, and cause damage to the lining of the small intestine, specifically the microvilli. These microvilli secrete enzymes needed to digest lactose, maltose and sucrose. Initial symptoms of the poor digestion of these sugars could include gas, bloating or diarrhea, and can exacerbate Irritable Bowel Syndrome as well as Autism Spectrum Disorders. A food-sourced enzyme called DPP-IV can break down the peptides that are created by undigested gluten, gliadin, or casein. Loomis Formula GMH-3 mitigates lower bowel discomfort and itchy skin, especially as seen in IBS and Autism. The area along the outer thigh is the Visceral Stress Reflex Point. Another interesting use of this formula is to assist in the digestion of Genetically Modified Food. Look for my next Blog for further discussion!

In November, 2019, I saw my first COVID-19 patient. Her family had just returned from vacation on an airplane that came from China. Within 3 days of their return, she and her husband both became very ill. She complained of sore throat, earache, unrelenting cough, chest pain, fever and nausea. Her lymphatic visceral stress reflex points were very sore. She tested positive for virus, bacteria, mold and chemicals.
We used a plethora of Loomis Enzymes targeting her visceral stress points that were the most reactive. She and her husband were very weak, but she had enough strength to care for him until he was hospitalized and diagnosed with COVID. Her symptoms lingered for five days. He suffered for four weeks. At the time, I had never heard of COVID-19. Later, in her blood work, we would discover that she had antibodies! Now, more than a year later, people ask me for a "protocol" to treat COVID and its variants. My response is "anything can cause anything". Virus, bacteria, mold and toxins can enter any hole, and settle in any system or organ that isn't strong enough to fight it. As we have all seen, some people are asymptomatic, but still test positive for COVID. During this pandemic, don't touch your eyes, nose, ears, or anywhere you can invite The Virus in, without first washing your hands. (Although not commonly discussed, COVID and variants are sexually transmitted.) Practice the "accordion breath", that we teach here, to pump your immune system. Have a relative or friend measure your chest expansion before and after. Diminished chest expansion can be helped with Loomis Formulas #8 and #11. Learn to identify areas of discomfort in your body, and call us for a urinalysis and a palpation. It only takes a minute to determine which organs and systems are on overload, or need to be nourished. It only takes a minute to determine if you are trying to fight off virus, bacteria, mold and/or toxins. There is no better way to mitigate sickness than with food-sourced enzyme formulas! There are no side effects, we can mix and match them to your specific needs, and you can monitor your own progress with Visceral Stress Reflexes. We are often asked this question at the initial appointment, because people are used to taking supplements that have no apparent effect. When you leave our office after your first visit, you will be equipped to monitor your own progress. You will have a copy of the Body Map, with pertinent “points” to check daily, weekly, or whenever you think of it.
For example, we often see someone hold their shoulders and stretch their neck. We immediately know that they are experiencing stress, and this person is burning off essential fatty acids in an effort to meet the challenge. If they check their Body Map, they will find that this “Universal Stress Point” can be calmed down by taking a dry essential fatty acid. In the Loomis World, taking Loomis Enzymes #8 would alleviate this physical discomfort - usually within the hour - because there are enzymes in each capsule that immediately deliver nutrients to a deficient system. Another way to monitor progress is to keep a copy of the Signs and Symptoms form, and occasionally review the responses in the document. Some symptoms you won’t even remember having - guaranteed! “Supplements” are liquid, powder, capsule, granule or pill. People will use supplements in an effort to provide the body with the nutrition they’re not getting from food. Unfortunately, most supplements are not from a food source. For example, carrots are a food source for vitamin A. Most vitamin companies have extracted the active ingredient (Vitamin A) from the food (carrots) and made a synthetic copy of this substance. By law, they can call this “Vitamin A”, because it has the exact same chemical composition as the Vitamin A in the carrot. However, the body will use the food-source Vitamin A completely differently than the chemical-source Vitamin A as it goes through the process of digestion and assimilation.
Another vitamin worth looking at in this manner is Vitamin D. Most softgel capsules of vitamin D come from irradiated lanolin from sheep's wool. This is not a food source, and could act like a drug in your body. Look for the herbs fenugreek, and horsetail, and eat food that has a high vitamin D content such as shitake mushrooms. Vitamin D can be converted from the action of sunlight on the skin, and if you put the shitake mushrooms in the sun, gill side up, they will have more V-D as well! In a post by the New York Times in May, 2002, I found the first written confirmation for the general public of the danger of radioactive fallout. The article claimed that the average exposure from nuclear testing, medical radiation, x-rays and other procedures was 20 milliGrays per capita between 1951 and 2000. Since then, we have had Japan’s nuclear crisis, so that number has risen.
Shortly after Chernobyl, the people of England had a run of strange symptoms that didn’t add up to any particular diagnosis. And if they did, the proven method of treatment didn’t work. It was the World Radionics Association that determined the source of stress was the fallout. Healthy cells are negatively charged most of the time, and bounce off their neighbor cells like the north ends of two magnets. This allows space between the cells for transportation of nutrients to the cell and waste away from the cell. The danger of radiation toxicity is that it affects the electron transport system in every cell wall. This system keeps the charge of the outer cell wall negative until the cell has produced energy as a result of taking in nutrients. The cell wall then becomes positively charged, the electron transport system opens up, and the waste and energy leave the cell, allowing new nutrition to enter. The cell wall then becomes negatively charged, and the process starts over again. If the cell wall gets stuck in a positive charge, it will stick to its neighbors, creating abnormal cell growth. Nutrients would be unable to enter the cell, waste would not exit the cell, and the cell would die. Hazel Parcells recommended a detoxifying bath for environmental radiation and x-rays. Dissolve one pound of sea salt and one pound of baking soda in a tub of very warm water. Do the bath at night, and stay in the water for a maximum of 20 minutes, or until the water cools. If you experience any discomfort like excess heat, headaches, or an acute exacerbation of chronic symptoms, drain the tub and get out. Do the bath three times in the first 30 days, and then once a month thereafter. My experience with enzymes is THEY WORK. If they don’t, try this bath. On your enzyme regimen, the nutrition is getting TO the cell. Be sure it’s getting INTO the cell! Whole food Vitamin C has six parts, and ascorbic acid is only one of them.
Here are the others: 1) Ascorbigen - the protein portion of V-C whose co-factor is copper; 2) Rutin - also known as Vitamin P, which prevents capillary fragility; 3) Bio-flavonoids - teams with Rutin and supports immune function; 4) K-Factor - helps with coagulation and clotting of the blood; 5) J-Factor - works with iron aiding the transport of oxygen….leaving ascorbic acid. If you drew a circle and divided it into 5 parts, the sixth part would envelop the entire circle. This represents ascorbic acid, which protects and preserves the other five parts of Vitamin C. Ascorbic Acid is an anti-oxidant that prevents the other 5 parts of soft vitamin C from spoiling. It is hard - almost crystalline. The human body can handle only 50 mg of ascorbic acid at a time. More than that and we run the risk of tissue damage! Use food sources of Vitamin C, such as US grown organic fruits and vegetables, or the herbs high in vitamin C as found in OPT, NSL or ADR formulas by Dr. Loomis. You’ve heard the list: sugar, white flour, chemical additives, alcohol, sugar substitutes, chocolate, coffee, and so on.
What you rarely hear about is the truth of using fluoride. Dr. Richard Olrie explains that the valence of fluoride replaces the valence of iodine. The magnitude of this fact is only beginning to show its effects on the human body. The thyroid gland uses iodine to “talk” to other glands and systems. Twenty-two of the iodine pathways from the thyroid gland have been replaced by fluoride. This looks like sick thyroid symptoms, and is seen in children of younger and younger ages. Eliminate fluoride from your toothpaste, mouthwash, dental visits and water. For thousands of years we have known that calcium and magnesium builds strong bones and teeth. Believe it. Get your needs met through foods and food source supplements. Ask about the tooth healing diet. The body holds what it needs in suspension. The rest falls through the body with the help of gravity. White blood cells, the organs of filtration, and the vascular system pick up the (toxic) waste, or it winds up in the soft tissue – especially in the abdominal cavity, the hands and the feet.
Elimination of these substances occurs naturally in a healthy body, but if your body needs help, use my system of infrared saunas, colonic enemas, lymphatic support, and therapeutic enzymes to detoxify. |
