Native Diet
★★★★★
Once they began to eat the white man's foods, they soon progressively became very ill, even faster than the white man. Things like canned goods, white flour, sugar, denatured foods destroyed their immunity to disease. Something to consider here and now. It wasn't the lack of immunity to civilized man's diseases that killed them, as we are told. It was the loss of immunity which arose from straying from their protective native diet that left them vulnerable to such diseases-- for which they then had no immunity whatsoever.
Native diets were simple, often wild, raw foods, like treenuts and berries (hey, fruits & nuts, like CA), raw milk, wild game and fish, roots and greens, grasses, and some cultivated crops, grains, and livestock. Real foods like mother's milk, blackberries, squash, oats, acorns, chestnuts --all exerted substantial protective qualities on these indigenous peoples who ate them.
These studies went back as far as the 1500's, and said that these peoples knew extraordinary strength, stamina, health and immunity, great old age, total ease at giving birth, and their teeth were like porcelain, set in wide dental arches (like wider pelvises).
The soil minerals came through the plant foods, and green live grasses, the best way to get them --where they don't calcify the arteries. Maybe we could amend our soils to achieve such super foods again? Just by adding compost, mulch, worms and trace minerals? Just a thought.

Eliminate Sugar
In one sentence, all you have to do is cut out as much sugar from your diet as possible. The more sugar that is cut out, the faster the healing. It is that simple. I cut out the sugar, cured myself but lost a bit more weight than I wanted to. Having declared myself cured, reintroduced sugar to my diet to help put weight back on, which I did, but the polyps came back too. I am currently off the sugar again, polyps have gone again. Twice cured with the same reasoning is enough proof for me that this works.
I did not want to have a medical operation and went looking for a natural cure. I turned Net Detective and researched nearly every website on nasal polyps to gather clues to form a theory. I have absolutely no medical qualifications whatsoever and the theory I am about to outline is just that, my own personal theory. Here we go.
The root cause of nasal polyps is not bacterial, it's fungal. The prime suspect is Candida Albicans, which everyone has to some degree. The good bacteria in your body assist to control bad fungus. Which is why antibiotics don't work because by killing all the bacteria in your body, including the good bacteria, there are none left to control the fungus.
Fungus are extremely clever little critters. They feed on sugar and produce Ethanol as a waste product. The Ethanol confuses the receptors for the Thyroid which tell it to shut down production of Vitamin D. A Vitamin D deficiency weakens the immune system and causes lethargy. Lethargy increases cravings to eat more sugar for an instant energy boost and the condition then compounds as the fungus population grows and prospers.
But wait, there's more. A white blood cell called an Eosinophil goes in to battle the fungus but with a weakened immune system, they fail dismally to win the fight. It seems they act like suicidal cluster bombs - they go to the foe and blow themselves up to take out as many of the foe as they can. When this happens in the nose, they irritate the nose membrane, the cells in the membrane fill with fluid and voila, there they are, a medical case of nasal polyps.
Operations to remove polyps, nasal sprays, potions, lotions and nasal rinses only remove the symptoms temporarily and they are not cures. The cure therefore, is to break the cycle by removing the food supply to the fungus, which is sugar. Ethanol levels thereby diminish, the Thyroid receptors kick start the Thyroid into production of Vitamin D again, which then improves the immune system which then assists the attack of the Eosinophils to win the battle of the nose.
Okay, so that's my theory. I'll admit it may not necessarily be entirely accurate in the finer details but having said that, the one thing I am sure about is that reducing sugar in my diet has eliminated my polyps. I haven't discussed my theory with my doctor, fearful of being either laughed out of his office for being ridiculous, or being thrown out for being too close to the truth and cutting out a source of his wages, and the wages of his expensive Ear Nose Throat Specialist mate who gave me useless antibiotics.
It is impossible to remove all sugar as nearly all foods have it to some extent. Just try to reduce it as much as possible so at least there is no excess for the fungus to frenzily feed on. An obvious deletion from the diet is white sugar added to coffee and on cereal - don't add sugar to anything, totally delete that option including any and all sugar substitutes. Also cut out completely ice cream, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, lollies, honey and fizzy drinks. Even fruit - I have exchanged apples and bananas for raw tomatoes. On packaged foods and drinks, I won't buy anything with more than 10% sugar content. There is usually a per 100g contents list on the package, just look at the sugar level and if it's more than 10g per 100g, don't eat it. The preference though is for levels below the 5% mark because the more sugar that gets deleted, the faster the healing.
From going no sugar, the time taken to full recovery for me on both occasions has been about 4 weeks, with every passing day getting better and better. As an added bonus, you can save a fortune on tissue paper let alone the costs of sprays, potions, lotions and the big one, the operation.
I lost weight dramatically the first time but not this second time. At a guess my metabolism has adjusted to derive more nutrients from real foods rather than depend on sugar. My diet now is fresh meat (never packaged), poultry, fish, bacon and eggs, vegetables (including fried potato chips), milk, bread, nuts (especially almonds), pizza, strawberries and cream. Even beer is okay. It's a bit like a caveman diet, but with benefits.
To conclude this post, as a suggestion, if anyone is willing to take my "no sugar" theory up, from the day of their decision, to start a daily diary and keep a record of least their weight and a degree of difficulty from 1 to 10 to breathe through the nose during the day and also the night before (1 would be very easily the nose, 10 would be mouth only). Count tissues used if you can, that would be a fun number. Some feedback would be nice as this is the first time I have shared this idea on the internet. Good luck.

With this omega-3 combo in the body, one can then tolerate sunshine, and in fact, can convert the sunshine itself, within the body, into life energy for bodily processes. It allows the body to begin healing directly from the sun on the body! Light as healer, and as sustenance.

Before you get to cancer you get disease. It can be in many forms. What we are all missing is that you need an alkaline diet or you will be sick.
Apple Cider Vinegar is alkaline and those who take it unknowingly are actually making their body more alkaline and thus get better. The saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" was correct. Apples are alkaline and thus keep our body disease free!!
Here is an excellent website of what foods make the body more alkaline. We should all incorporate these into our diet every day for health.
This from the website:
See the following table to determine your (pH) level of acidity. Table categories show beginning, intermediate, and advanced symptoms. This is only a partial list.
BEGINNING
~ Acne
~ Agitation
~ Bloating
~ Cold Hands & Feet
~ Food Allergies
~ Hard to get up in the morning
~ Lack of Sex Drive
~ Mild Headaches
~ Panic Attacks
~ Rapid Panting Breath
INTERMEDIATE
~ Asthma
~ Cold Sores
~ Colitis
~ Depression
~ Excessive Hair Loss
~ Fungal Infections
~ Hives
~ Migraine Headaches
~ Numbness & Tingling
~ Stuttering
~ Swelling
~ Urinary Infection
ADVANCED
~ Arthritis
~ Cancer (All Forms)
~ Crohn's Disease
~ Hodgkin's Disease
~ Learning Disabled~ Leukemia
~ Lupus
~ Multiple Sclerosis
~ Schizophrenia
~ Tuberculosis
Go the website. Excellent info on what foods to eat and what foods to avoid. I am printing this list out and it will be my bible! Interesting our water is acidic so adding the bicarb soda to it makes it more alkaline.
By the way, on the subject of what governments and big business tell us I am reading a very interesting book: The great food gamble, by John Humphrys. This book is about the British reality, with reference to the USA but I think that would interest everybody all over the globe who is concerned about the use of pesticides and the way our food is grown. It is very well written, reads easily and I got it for next to nothing on Amazon. I thought that you or someone else might be interested! Amazing facts..... That said this is a difficult subject here at home as my husband works for a big pesticide company. We have our arguments, as you can imagine...... But he is retiring soon and wants to become an organic farmer, so for the time being I tease him quite a lot (taking care that he doesn't feel bad about his professional life and anyway, although he is a scientist he never developed the stuff himself, works on the organization side of things, luckily! And if he had been able to choose his profession freely... He swears that he would have become an organic farmer earlier on!

People have luck with this or that remedy and don't realise the one thing in common with all the remedies is that they alkalise the body.
If all we need is an alkaline diet then anything alkalising to the body will cure cancer or disease. It is a liberating thought. Worth noting all herbs are alkaline.
Alkaline
The average person's diet should be about 80% alkaline-forming and 20% acid-forming, that being the meats, starches, and those kinds of foods. If a person is more physically active, they can handle a bigger percentage of acid-forming foods. Having the proper pH throughout the body, acidic where it needs to be acidic and more alkaline where it needs that is so critically important. I know--been there, done that. My adrenals and then thyroid crashed and everything went to hell, including my pH levels. I tried everything for several years to get it back up to normal but nothing worked until I started taking bottled seawater and within about a month my pH was finally back into a normal range. Truthquest2 is my website and I included a page on pH because it was a critical part of my own healing process. Before I got it back to normal, I had developed two "lumps" removed by black salve (one is documented on the site) and have had no trouble of that kind since, although working on my pH was only part of a much larger healing protocol... but it was an important one.

Eliminate Sugar
I don't see where you really cut out sugar much if you were eating those things. Maybe eating better over all caused you to lose weight. Perhaps being thinner put less stress on your body, allowing your immune system to work better to get rid of the polyps?
Just a thought.
:-)
Eliminate Sugar
Starches and fats I don't care about (except Trans fats that I really do prefer to avoid). I have targeted sugar as the only food source that feeds the fungus that cause the polyps. The first time I went "no sugar" I was 56kg at the start (and had been diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency by my doctor, which was the only problem he could find that I had, so that became part of the jigsaw puzzle that I put together) so I was already thin anyway but had a bad case of polyps. I scarily bottomed out at 52kg before I reintroduced sugar to regain weight and am currently 55kg and the polyps are gone again. A net sum of 1kg loss in weight hasn't destressed my body and eliminated the polyps, it can only be the sugar.
Eliminate Sugar
Eliminate Sugar
Also worth noting, studies show sugars like high fructose corn syrup not only make triglycerides to be stored as stubborn fat, but also suppress immune function substantially.
As for natural sweeteners ---honey, blackstrap molasses, and stevia are favorites.
Eliminate Sugar
Your comment about "sugar suppresses immune function substantially" supports my theory about feeding the fungus that causes that (via the Thyroid causing Hypothyroidism, which is an underactive Thyroid function, which is whereby the immune function is reduced and also a Vitamin D deficiency both of which I was diagnosed to have had, by my doctor). Thank you for that. Anyone else reading this thinking where is the Thyroid anyway, picture it as a very small double handed grip around your upper wind pipe.
As for natural sweeteners and considering that fungus don't care what type of sugar they are being fed or where it comes from, the weight of an average teaspoonful of table sugar is about 4g, 1 tspn each of honey is 5.7g of sugar in 7g (81% sugar) and molasses is 3.7g of sugar in 6. 7g (55%) both of which are more or less the same as a tspn of table sugar and therefore no reduced sugar benefit whatsoever. Both of those products are definitely over my preferred limit of 5% and absolute limit of 10% sugar content. Artificial sweeteners I avoid like arsenic. Just Google "stevia good or bad" and your head will spin where to look first. If it was good, why is bad even an option. Cheers.

Meat
This makes perfect evolutionary sense because we evolved as a species as hunter gatherers. We evolved eating both plants and animals. There are certain proteins and such you do NOT get from plants alone. I wish this was NOT true but my experience agrees with Judy`s....Oscar
Meat
To be a healthy vegetarian, there has to be some research or learning involved - mostly simple things such as which plant products have enough protein, etc. Having a rotation involved helps, using one bean/lentil one meal, a different protein the next (like eggs), etc. That way if you're short on one nutrient, you're more likely to get it in the next meal. There's a lot of sites online that can help with nutritional needs.
But I doubt that I'll ever be full fledged vegetarian, either.
Improving Mitochondrial Function
Many folks got restored w/ Mangosteen and Acai, now Red Grape extracts are in the mix. Athletes in particular, in the attempt to reduce fatigue and burnout, have found the citrus bioflavonoid Quercetin to be very effective. DMG is also effective in restoring immune, detox, and mitochondria function. CoQ10 and ALA decline w/ disease and aging, so supplementing these is always beneficial.
Improving Mitochondrial Function
Many people take high fat low carb for two reasons. They have heard that carbs are bad. A few endurance athletes try to lose body fat for improved performance. They have won two important events during the previous two decades. The mitochondria can only burn small amounts of carbs when fat is high. High fat high carbs would cause insulin, carbs, and nutrients to accumulate in the plasma causing diabetes and heart disease.

It just makes common sense to utilize a variety of both plant and animal proteins as your lifestyle and taste desire, not indulging anything. As for supplementing, Whey is considered the overall best, but many like the egg isolates as well. Liquid Aminos are less "messy" (concerning mixing) and simply need some filtered water or juice to down them with; many of these L.A. products are "predigested" meaning the liver doesn't need to metabolize them for utilization (which is good news for people in compromised conditions).

So, the article states that his woman cured her candida from eating bananas? Are you serious? Bananas can only feed the fire for candida. Bananas are healthy fruits but not when you have a systemic candida overgrowth. All anti-candida diets call for the complete elimination of sugar. That includes sugar from fruits.
Now, I've gotten a lot of helpful information from naturalnews.com but this one doesn't fit the bill so to say. Please give opinions about this. My main problem with the article is the candida part. I just don't believe eating bananas only got rid of this woman's candida issues. Thanks & God Bless!

It just so happened that I went to see Daniel Vitalis speak (a marathon talk! ) who is well-known in the raw world. Someone in the audience brought up Weston Price's work and posed the question to Daniel about many of the well-known people in the raw food world secretly adding in cooked food, etc. Daniel then went into speaking about his revelations about his own health and after reading Price's work, he radically changed his diet. That was the first I'd heard of this work and immediately began to research it. It made so much sense that I immediately began embracing this way of eating. During the winter I make bone broth, we use raw butter, grass-fed beef, eat fermented foods and use other principles of his.
We definitely notice a difference in our health and vitality. I would encourage others to study his works. Best to you, Lisa

To the surprise people who are suffering from chronic ailments, find immediate dissappearance of most of the symptoms when completely stopping GMO foods from their diet.
And in north america most of the foods are GMO. So far we have been eating only GMO foods. To eliminate GMO we have to go to truly organic foods which is very costly at least 4 times.
Is there a way to counter the side effects consumed GMO foods? My 2 cents, is to take lots of Milk Kefir and other probiotic foods.
I expect some golden recommendations from fellow contributors.

I've also just read about a court case in America where an organic farmer discovered that his crops were GMO. The only cause must have been the GMO crops growing nearby, so the farmer sued Monsanto. Monsanto then responded in kind by suing the farmer for using their agri-product without a licence!! Add to this that the organic farmer can probably only afford an ordinary lawyer whereas a huge, rich company like Monsanto can afford an army of big and expensive lawyers who know how to twist the law and you can perhaps appreciate that the organic farmer concerned doesn't really stand a chance in hell of winning the case.
I also note that China has also just bought huge amounts of Roundup-Ready GMO products from Monsanto to feed her huge population. This will also have massive health impacts on the Chinese populace in a few years and soon I have little doubt that the whole of Asia will be growing GMO crops too. It's bad enough that Round-Up Ready crops are GMO, but it is also doublty horrific that the weed-killer used with these crops was originally derived from Agent Orange in the 1970s. The reason we need robust GMO crops is to feed an overpopulated world. That is the main argument given by governments and by agri-business. Of course, the real reason has to be agri-dominance and profit (discreetly mingled with heavy corrupting influence).
And I'm afraid that I also have little faith in food products that are just labelled "Organic" now. Purchasing such products does not put me into any sort of comfort zone at all. Organic farming is big business now. I was studying the rules and regs of the FDA the other day when I stumbled upon some startling evidence buried quietly in their regs which was both surprising and most shocking. I found out that the FDA's current definition of "Organic" foods actually allows for 5% of any additives you like in any food which is labelled as "Organic" - which can be fungicides, pesticides, heavy metals, bad halogens or anything you like. On further research I realized that this really made complete sense because you simply cannot assure that ordinary water for plants or crops from any reservoir or water table in America is natural and pure anymore and even the rain in America is polluted and acid now. How many people know these facts about the "Organic" label?
So if you really want to eat completely organic foods now then you must always buy foods that are labelled (by law) "100% Organic".
I live in the semi-provinces of the Philippines where I am unable to buy organic foods and most people who live here would simply assume that the local food produce here is both virtually organic and pesticide-free in such a primitive region. But I have also seen the many Monsanto and Syngenta test farms here in my region -- and they are truly prolific. So, as far as I can see, the only possible way to avoid incurable auto-immune diseases later on in life is to go preventative and continually detox the body everyday as advised on this website.

Thus, I do my best to empower myself otherwise. I look at labels, I shop at Whole Foods here in the states, which unfortunately, is not cost- effective for many. I know it's expensive but my health is worth it since I avoid doctors and medications. I have to be proactive in preventing problems and keep my immune system strong! There is a petition circulating which I signed recently requesting Trader Joe's to commit to carrying exclusively/ only meats that have no antibiotics/ hormones because as of now, Whole Foods is the only store that can make that claim.
I also make sure to constantly detox by using sodium thiosulphate which you recommended, methylene blue, taking far infrared saunas on a regular basis of at least once a week, using EMF protection and eating cleanly with organic foods (with the understanding which you pointed out). I have to agree, detoxing constantly is the only way we can really control this situation. Dr. Brian Clement who owns and runs Hippocrates Health Institute speaks extensively regarding this!

But altering the DNA, which is the GMO, is fundamentally changing the building blocks of any any produce like wheat, corn, chicken, milk that nature has given for us and this is atrocious.
Our body is created to adapt to this natural products, It can't even take a refined food, imo refined food is a slow poison.
Big companies are trying to monopolize and monetize in every possible way. Need to feed the growing population is a lame suggestion.
Countries has to increase the agro lands to feed the world.
I think the farmers around the world need to be educated to deny the GMO cultivation. If china and india continue to produce GMO foods then there will be a silent health catastrophy in the next decade.
