Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hi Janet, There is an experienced Chinese lady offering Acupuncture on site at The Hippocrates Institute in West Palm Beach www.hippocratesinst.org It is a living food detox centre where I spent 3 months learning to be a Hippocrates Health Educator. They also have other therapies and classes for teaching the patients about their mental, emotional and spiritual issues and general info and classes on envrionmental toxins etc. There is a doctor continually on site. They follow through the cases with full blood tests as well as live blood cell analysis and dark field microscopy. Patients/guests can stay there or have therapies as an outpatient I believe. They are not only experienced but specialize in people with serious illness such as people with cancer of any type at any stage and have totally phenominal results. The Institute has been going 50 years and attracts people from all over the globe and is relatively near Fort Lauderdale (it used to be in Boston). The results I saw there defied anything I had ever seen in 20 years travelling the world studying Natural Medicine including China. As an example most diabetes mellitis patients they treat there don't need their medication after only 2 days!!! The very complicated cases can take up to 3 weeks and it's permanent! Having done their practitioner course I now use and teach their methods in combination with TCM and the results I am getting is beyond my wildest dreams! But it requires full patient participation especially with diet and detoxing. If you have any questions do feel free to contact me on/off line. All the best Nadia Nadia Brydon MRCHM. Dip Ac. MNIMH.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 It is undoubtedly true that fasting can accomplish some amazing things, and maybe with grass juice rehabilitate the Islet cells or whatever, but the chief demand of the raw food cult is tunnel-vision. I was with them a long time ago first in Boston and then working their mini-farm, and the spiel right down to the live blood cell analysis is virtually unchanged over 25 years. Brian C. always had the True Believer in him to make for great salesmanship, and there is influential power in unwavering certitude, but they have no qualms about boasting of cures when the temporary remission that frequently follows such drastic change is more like it. " But it requires full patient participation especially with diet and detoxing " hits the nail on the head, because it can be brutal and intolerable to many, who are then berated for their lack of will. It is irresponsible to refer Cancer patients to be hustled, unless they do so with full awareness that it is experimental, and almost certainly more rough going than chemo and rad. In my opinion, anyway.

Diabetes isn't really about the pancreas failing to make insulin. Diabetes is more about insulin resistance. What a program like the Hippocrates pogrom does is decrease insulin resistance which reduces the need for insulin supplementation. As a side note, as far as I can see,,,, many chronic problems people have these days is related to inefficient fatty acid or sugar metabolism. Deal with those and most people feel better, last longer and many diseases will mysteriously go away. Live food programs do help restore metabolic efficiency in many people and therefor will " cure " many problems I agree it is not a cure all and blindly believing it will cure what ails ya no matter what is dangerous and foolish.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Dear Alon, Apart from the adjunctive acupuncture support (as well as other CAM therapies) the main foundation of the treatment is principally dietary. It is not TCM diet although in my own practice I try as best I can to translate the diet into TCM philosophy which actually works quite well for me. The point is it works for most of my patients who are inspired to do it so I use it. To find out more fully I suggest you go to their web site : www.hippocratesinst.org. However I will relate here a little of the program which is the foundation for people with any pathology to whatever degree including people with diabetes. Hippocrates puts everyone on the same basic detox with variation and changes according to particular needs. The detox is for 3 weeks and is called the 'Life Change Program'. The basic program is Breakfast: juiced watermelon juice (not for diabetics) or juiced cucumber. Diabetics get a hot cooked bowl of sprouted Quinoa. 11am juice of cucumber and celery (celery not for hypertension as the sodium raises blood pressure). Lunch is a huge buffet of 50% living sprouts such as Alfalfa, Radish, Onion, Cabbage, Broccali, Fenugreek, Mung, Mustard, Sunflower and so on. Plus a huge all you can eat buffet of salads and only raw food (this is not very TCM but with the 50% living sprouts which is vibrant with active Qi which is warming, transporting, transforming etc works very well in tonifying the spleen Qi!). all different salads with seaweeds, sauerkraut, garlic, dressings, radishes, nuts or avocados and so on. 4pm is another juice of cucumber and celery. 5.30 pm is another buffet identical to the lunch time one. Fasting on cucumber and celery juice is every wednesday broken at 5.30 pm with a green raw soup. Diabetics do the fasting or not depending on their blood sugar levels. Every morning and afternoon each person is expected to juice themselves 2 oz of wheatgrass. Highly advised during the detox is twice daily water enemas self administered followed by implants of 4 ozs of wheatgrass. Also occasional colonics are advised. Diabetics are advised to eat as much live sprouted Fenugreek seeds (Hu Lu Ba) as they can as it is extremely helpful in reducing blood sugar levels. They are also given Fenugreek seed drops in a non alcohol glyercine base. However they are advised not to eat the lemons (freely available on the buffet counters) as this raises blood sugar levels. Each person is seen by the doctor on arrival and blood test is taken on arrival and leaving and at other times if necessary. Live blood cell analysis and dark field microscopy appointments are also made for before and after the detox program. Throughout the day and evening there are on going lecture programs on taking responsibility for one's health. Plus mineral pools, gym, hot and cold plunge pools etc. The maintenance program is a water enema once a week, juices daily and continuation of the living sprouts and raw foods as much as possible. This depends on the needs of each individuals health challenge. People with cancer are advised to remain quite strictly on the program until significant health elevations have occurred. This may be only 3 weeks or could be 3 months. It is a taught program which you learn and take home and utilise at what ever level you wish. Obviously people only on oral diabetic medication do much better much faster. ie those on Glucotrol and Glucophage as well as Avandia and Orbinase are generally off their medication within 3 days. Insulin dependent type II takes more time and management but generally after 3 weeks they can be off medication. The % of success I cannot say but it is significant. If you are interested I suggest you telephone the Director; Brian Clements and ask him or his wife Ana Marie for the stats. They also have success helping children and people with type l diabetes who often no longer need insulin. My friend who was on 2000mg of glucophage started the detox with blood sugar levels of 180, which dropped in one day to 140 and by the third day she was down to 500mg of glucophage and 2 days after that was completely medication free and has been ever since. She has to be vigiliant as she is still severely obese but her blood sugar is fine now and this was 2 years ago. She doesn't eat much raw and living food now because of a hectic life but feels much better when she does include some of the Hippocrates raw and living foods. She did say that during the first three days she needed apples in the middle of the night because of her blood sugar but that only lasted 3 days. On the program they also use digestive enzymes and some herbs as well as algaes and seaweeds etc.as required for each individual. Personally I prescribe TCM herbs alongside the dietary program to my patients accordingly. I teach them how to do a modified version of the above (unless they have cancer in which case I suggest they go to Florida for 3 weeks) which they can do according to their lifestyle. Frankly the changes in my patients is inspirational but they have to be self motivated and it's not for the faint hearted.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Dear Alon, Yes! Interesting isn't it? As a Western Herbalist I too was taught that celery SEED (Apium graveolens) is helpful in reducing hypertension. However the actual Celery PLANT/VEGETABLE at Hippocrates they have found that it definately raises BP. The Ayurvedic energy of Celery veg (sorry don't have the TCM to hand) is Astringent, sweet, salty and Pungent and cold. It is high in Sodium therefore would retain water except that as an action celery is diuretic! also astringent and a nervine. The SEEDS are hot, stimulant carminative, emmenagogue, antispasmodic. In Ayurvedic medicine the salty taste is made up of fire and water and is Heating in TCM it is Yin and Cooling! descending and sinking. Ayurvedic says the salty taste is heating because it is irritating and burning ie when rubbed on open wounds. In TCM the salty taste is regarded as cooling because it is heavy, sinking and inert. Both agree it is moistening and water retaining. Anyone got any further input on Celery seeds or veg? Nadia Nadia Brydon MNIMH. MRCHM. MAR. Dip Ac.BRCP.
