Herbal supplements work most effectively on an empty stomach but if you must take any supplements with food make sure that the food does not contain protein. An item I frequently recommend, especially for parents with little ones that need supplementation, is taking the supplement with unsweetened applesauce.

Yes, you can take your missed dose as soon as you remember. Do keep in mind though you need to take it 1 hour outside of any food or supplements and 2 hours before or after medications.

Take it as soon as you remember. If it’s the Cytocatch dose, you can take first thing in the morning, you’ll just need to wait an hour before eating or taking any other supplements.

If you have any extra capsules that remain, it means you’ve missed a dose somewhere in the protocol. You can take the remaining capsules at the end of your protocol to finish your detoxification dosage.

You may experience anal itching, vaginal itching, itchy or blotchy skin and GI issues. If this occurs, stop detoxification and start taking larger doses of anti-candida products and Probiotics. Once symptoms diminish you can start back on detoxification and may need to include an anti-candida protocol along with your detoxification protocol.

Great question… and the best way to know is to Test, not guess! We utilize a micronutrient deficiency test to determine your current status of the key micronutrients in your body. The micronutrient testing offers a unique means to scientifically assess the intracellular requirements of micronutrients that play an important role in your overall health. Our tests measure the biochemical status of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, providing us with a powerful clinical assessment tool to determine your supplementation needs.

Yes, the only caution is the CytoCatch portion of the detox system. This is working to bind up toxins, and we do not want it to bind up the good stuff. Make sure you take other supplements and food at least an hour outside of the time you are taking CytoCatch. Taking your CytoCatch dose right before you go to bed can help avoid any timeline issues.

Yes, there are no contraindications with supplements and OSR.

Many of our clients use this remedy at home: Mix 2 Tbls raw apple cider vinegar with 8 oz water (can also add 1 Tbls of raw honey for taste and sore throat) and Sip mixture. Can take up to 3 glasses per day. See more options at www.earthclinic.com

This is great news! Getting your sugar levels under control is of great importance. With regards to your insulin, you will need to work with your prescribing doctor to adjust dosages according to your current needs. Be sure to contact your doctor’s office right away to notify them of your excellent achievements!

Typically an exacerbation of your already occurring symptoms. Sometimes you may see your symptoms get temporarily worse before they get better.

This is usually a result of sugar withdrawal. The first week on your new eating plan can be difficult depending on how much sugar and refined carbohydrates you were previously consuming. The good news, it usually last only a week or so. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Tips to help; eat small meals more frequently, increase your antioxidant intake, and increase your glutamine intake. You can also try natural anti-inflammatory nutrients (turmeric, cayenne, bromelain, white willow bark, licorice root, devil’s claw, ginger, boswellia).

Cut out all forms of sugar and grains from your diet. The first week is usually rough, but after you cut these out of your diet, you’ll be amazed at how little you actually crave sugar. It’s then much easier to say no to sugar as well. This is when your body can truly go into fat-burning mode. You’ll learn more about this by attending one of our nutrition workshops, hormone classes, or during your consultation with tmihealth.

Be sure to increase fluid intake with any supplements to prevent constipation. You may also want to increase your fiber intake to be sure you are including a good balance of fiber in your daily regimen. A great fiber source is Mila, the chia seed. Learn more at: www.lifemax.net/tmihealth You can also increase your intake of magnesium to “bowel” tolerance. This can have an impact on constipation. I’ve seen this help many of my clients.

My first recommendation is to come off all dairy products. Once we allow the body to heal itself, then we can slowly introduce dairy back into the diet. However, I only recommend raw dairy, especially for my lactose intolerant clients. Raw dairy contains the necessary enzyme, Lactase, to assist your body in breaking down lactose. Other options are Almond Milk, Coconut Milk, and Hemp Milk… make sure you get the "unsweetened" varieties, otherwise these too can have sugar added to them.

Until you reach the results you want to achieve. For some, this may be a few months, for others a few years, and then there are those that may do best on this type of eating plan for the rest of their lives. I happen to be one of those types.

Raw milk is safe and will provide the best nutrition possible if you are consuming any milk from an animal. It’s the only type of cow or goat’s milk I recommend. Raw milk is the natural unaltered milk usually from cows, goats or sheep. It is not heated above the animal's highest body temperature which is usually 101-105 degrees F. (38 degrees C.) Raw milk is not pasteurized, homogenized or frozen, nor has it been altered with additives, chemicals, light or homogenization. When raw milk is obtained from a healthy grass-fed cow, the risk is no more than consuming a tomato from your local grocery store. Studies have shown that children who drink raw milk have lower rates of allergies and asthma. The flavor is rich and complex, and the health advantages abound. People who were lactose intolerant find they have no problems with raw milk and raw dairy products, digestive issues usually clear up, energy increases, immune systems strengthen, and people feel better. Pasteurization, the process where the milk is heated, kills the beneficial bacteria, healthy enzymes, and proteins. Once these are gone you are drinking "dead" liquid and it is of no benefit, and might actually cause more harm than do any good to those who drink it. It even kills off the enzyme lactase which is needed to properly break down lactose, no wonder we have a rise of lactose intolerance in this country with the high consumption of pasteurized milk.

There are many sources to obtain raw milk, but depending on the state you are located in and the laws associated with your state will determine the ropes you must go through to get it. Resources for raw milk include: http://www.realmilk.com/where.html

Stevia is the best sweetening alternative. This is a natural sweetener, it comes from the stevia plant which produces intensively sweet tasting substances called "steviol glycosides". This is extracted from the leaf of the stevia plant which is very sweet. Stevia does not have an impact on your sugar/glucose levels. It’s very concentrated so alittle goes a long way. The Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni is a perennial plant that can reach 4 ft tall and is native of the highlands of central southeast South America covering portions of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. My favorite stevia product line is by Stevita. Their website is: http://stevitastevia.com/

Another alternative is Xylitol. This is a great alternative for baking and recipes since it substitutes almost equally for sugar in measuring amounts for a recipe. Pure xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. Xylitol is not actually a sugar, but a sugar alcohol. It differs from other sweeteners such as sorbitol, fructose and glucose because the xylitol molecule has five, instead of six, carbon atoms. Because xylitol is only slowly absorbed and partially utilized, a reduced calorie claim is allowed: 2.4 calories per gram or 40% less than other carbohydrates. Years of testing have confirmed that xylitol is the best sweetener for teeth. Xylitol use reduces tooth decay rates. Xylitol is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are fruits, berries, mushrooms, lettuce, hardwoods, and corn cobs.

NO!!!! The chemical Sucralose, has become the #1 artificial sweetener used in food and beverages. Splenda/Sucralose is simply chlorinated sugar! The lethal science of Splenda = A poisonous chlorocarbon. Chlorine is a highly excitable, ferocious atomic element employed as a biocide in bleach, disinfectants, insecticide, WWI poison gas and hydrochloric acid. Chlorocarbon’s are all Deadly! Use Stevia or raw honey instead. Remember… the pink, blue, and yellow packets are NOT safe!

I’m not a big fan of the Truvia product due to its other "ingredients" listed. Truvia is chemically pure Rebaudioside A, derived from genetically modified plants. I do not recommend consuming anything from a GMO (genetically modified plant) product. Truvia also lists "Natural Flavors" on the ingredient list and we do not know exactly what those are. I have had many patients do great with stevia products, but then when they try Truvia they have skin reactions, GI disturbances, headaches, etc. I would recommend a more pure stevia product.

The best stores are your natural and organic grocery stores that offer one stop shopping. Some of my favorites include:
Whole Foods Market, Earth Fare, GreenWise, Trader Joe’s. These store locations will vary depending on your city. You can also check out your local farmer and produce markets and co-op’s for the best fresh and sustainable products for your area. There are many online retailers too. Here are just a few:
www.luckyvitamin.com
www.sunorganic.com
www.bmorganics.com
www.eatwild.com

When you buy conventionally grown products you are getting products that use pesticides, hormones, steroids, GMO’s, and chemical fertilizers that hurt the farmers, the soil and ultimately your health! Every dollar you invest in organic product supports your health. I encourage everyone to buy organic as much as possible. The most important category to buy organic products is anything coming from an animal (meat, dairy, eggs, etc.) and produce. Top 5 reasons to buy organic: It’s good for you, it’s better for our planet, kind treatment to animals, encourages wildlife, and is GMO-free (genetically modified organisms).

Yes, in moderation and it needs to be organic and preferably caffeinated. The decaffeinated coffee has been more processed.

Wow Green cleaning products are the best alternative source. This is what I personally use at home and in my office.

We utilize a urine toxic metals test with a chelation challenge to determine the heavy metals and amounts currently stored in your body. This helps to predict the current body burden of metals wrecking havoc on your system.

Your test kit should have instructions for collecting, packaging, and shipping your test specimen. You also need to follow the "challenge" dosage protocol designated for you. If you are having trouble remembering any of the steps to complete this, please watch the detailed video below with instructions on completing this test:

Yes, we must go after the root cause to achieve healing in the body. Our clients with ADD or ADHD have nutritional imbalances and neurotoxicity which leads to neurological damage. We must determine the root interference and remove it from the body. Once we do this, and give the body the right nutrients it needs, it can begin to heal itself (the God-given ability our bodies have). Visit our Children’s Health page to learn more.

Yes, we work with many clients battling Celiac Disease or symptoms similar to those associated with Celiac. The first step is diet changes, this alone can help the body decrease the immune reaction that is leading to the immediate concerns. The next step is to look into a root cause, many times toxicity being the main offender, and also considering malabsorption. We would need to complete further testing to determine what deficiencies are occurring, what systems have dysfunction, and is there an underlying interference (physical, chemical, or emotional).

Yes, we frequently offer free educational classes and workshops in our office, on the web, and we speak at many organizations and venues including corporations, schools, churches, and police and fire departments.

Education before you vaccinate! I believe that parents need to make informed and educated choices about all healthcare options for their children, including vaccinations, and that they deserve the freedom to make the choice that works best for their family. This is a very personal decision and unfortunately not one I can make for you. I can tell you that many of our vaccines still contain toxic substances, and the amounts of these going into a child during a single visit has its consequences. I also urge you to research your states guidelines for vaccines and entry into school. Many states have exemptions available for numerous reasons to allow your child to enter school with or without the vaccines. Please do your homework to find out the specifics for your area and know that you do have options. Here are several resources to help you:
