Dara Dietz: September 2020

In August of 2017, I begun a weight loss journey that ended around January of 2019 with the loss of 240 lbs.  It has been six years since I stepped back from my weight loss program to learn how to maintain what I had accomplished.  Against all odds I have not regained any of the weight lost.  The emotional work I needed to do has taken six years but I’m ready to finish this weight loss journey begun exactly 9 years ago this month.

My goal is to lose another 75 lbs. or more.  I’m not certain where I should set my ending weight, it will be a matter of what seems right, I’m thinking somewhere between 145lbs. and 165lbs. So onward and downward. 

Here is what I’m doing, and it works perfectly.  Here are the resources for those who want to do the reading. 

Life in the Fasting Lane

How to Make Intermittent Fasting a Lifestyle—and Reap the Benefits of Weight Loss and Better Health, by Dr. Jason Fung, Eve Mayer, Megan Ramos,

 The Obesity Code

Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss; By Dr. Jason Fung

Dara Dietz 2014 Before Weight Loss

When I begun my journey in 2017, the only book available was the Obesity Code, it is an excellent resource for understanding the value of fasting.  Life in the Fasting Lane, really maps out how to set your program up.

My Current Fasting Program:

I began doing 23 hours fast every day.  What this looks like is you eat one meal each day, allowing only an hour during the whole day to consume food.  The rest of the day you are fasting.  So, you are basically not eating for stretches of 23 hours each day. This routine did not work well for me. 

The pounds were not moving away at a rate that suited me, so I decided to fast every other day.  In real time here is what it looks like, I eat food for two hour every other day, so, I’m fasting from 2pm on Monday until 12 pm on Wednesday.  This is a 46 hour fast.  I find it painless, and the scales show a nice weight drop of around 2 to 4 lbs. for each fasting period.

A two-mile walk is a nice beginning to my day.  I seldom miss it rain or shine.  This walk is not about weight loss, as you will find when you read the two books above, it is about mental and physical health.  Your body needs to move to be healthy. 

Each morning, I consume my teas of the, Weight Support, Brain Food, Mood food and Echinacea formulas. I choose to add a splash of almond milk to my teas including on the days I fast. I also take my psyllium husk fiber each morning fasting or not.  The fiber keeps your bowels comfortable.  The LBF #1 Capsules (poop pills) are taken sometime around 5pm every day.  If my bowels are not working well, I’ll go ahead and use the ascorbic powder to give them a little push.   

Drinking all the tea or lemon water I can remember to drink throughout the day will ensure better results the next day.  If I find myself dealing with hunger pains I’ll have a nice cup of hot tea with the Digestive tonic, and some more brain formula, with a little almond milk.  Sip it and my tummy feels better very quickly. 

The Food Program for the days I eat is high protein, fat and fiber.  Absolutely no cheep carbs.  Nothing with sugar, white flour, or wheat flour, really if it is processed it is not going to work.  Wednesday for my meal I had, 4 pieces of toasted Ezekiel bread with olive oil and smashed avocado topped with Seasoned Salt and chopped onions, a nice salad with vegetarian bacon bits, cucumbers, onions, olives, red wine vinegar and olive oil. For dessert a bowl of fresh cherries. I found this satisfying. 

On Saturday I enjoyed 3 Chickpea flour patties, green beans, 2 slices of Avocado toast and a bowl of cherries.  You can find the recipe for the patties on my blog.  One day last week I had a pasta casserole make with chickpea pasta, pasta sauce, Mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, olives, chopped garlic, Tofu sausage, (the only one they make without sugar added).  This is good and can be eaten with cooked vegetables or a side salad. 

Hopefully you get the idea; good food made well, following the plan of high protein, fats and fiber.  Lots of great ideas out there.

I began this program 3 weeks ago, around the end of July and have lost 16 lbs. to date.  Read the two books recommended above and come join me for the end of my journey.  The fasting approach to weight loss works, since ending my active fasting program in 2019 I have not regained any of the weight lost. 

Herbal Healing, Pain, Joints & Injuries

Soft Tissue Injuries: Sprains & Strains

Dara Dietz

Herbal first aid for soft tissue injuries.  Sprains or strains of the joints anywhere on the body can cause painful inflammation.  The first step would be to ice the area if there is any chance of internal bleeding or bruising.  Arnica oil will prevent bruising from forming when applied directly after the impact. 

Note: Arnica Oil should not be applied directly into an open wound. 

An additional aid for internal bleeding would be to take a dose of Cayenne, a glass of hot lemonade would be helpful. This is a cold drink consisting of 16 to 32 ounces of water,  1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp cayenne, Lemon juice and Maple syrup to taste.  

Note:  Cayenne aids to equalize blood pressure allowing the body to control any bleeding more quickly. https://daradietz.me/2016/05/30/when-how-to-use-cayenne/

After the ice pack has done its job or if not Icing is required, as in the case of overuse of a joint, or any case where there was no impact or concern for internal bleeding, apply a pack with a good Healing Salve with anti-inflammatory properties.  A good combination of herbs and essential oils could be,  Comfrey Root; Marshmallow Root, Marigold Herb, Beeswax; Essential oil of Rosemary, Lavender, Frankincense and Helichrysum

For the full healing salve, with the herbs and essential oils and how it’s made, see A Healing Salve to Keep on Hand.

Apply as a salve pack over the abused or damaged joint for a couple of hours.  This combination of herbs will knock down the inflammation around the damaged area and allow healing to happen more quickly.  Also this will aid in keeping the discomfort from increasing.  (Remember, pain comes from blockage, clearing the blockage will knock down the pain.)

A good herbal combination to aid in restoring the damaged joint is Dr Christopher’s BFC formula.  His combination of herbs supports with the nutrition to “knit” the body back together.  BFC, Stands for Bones, Flesh, and Cartilage, this herbal combination of, White Oak Bark, Comfrey Root, Gravel Root, Mullein Leaf, Marshmallow Root, Black Walnut Hulls, Wormwood, Skullcap, Lobelia is an helpful aid for providing the body with the nutrition needed to repair damage to the Bones, Flesh, and Cartilage. 

Doing a Simple Salve Pack

The formula can be applied as a salve pack over the affected area.  It is also wonderful as an herbal extract taken as a cup of tea internally.  Leave pack on overnight, depending on how extensive the damage continue to use allowing the area to “breath” without a pack for 6 to 8 hours each day.

Herbal Healing, Skin, Wounds & First Aid

Stopping the Itch Naturally

Dara Dietz

Lots of itching is going on this summer.  Ant bites, poison ivy, you name it the cause dose not really matter, the itch is awful.  Here is the quickest way I have found to clear the itch and knock out the inflammation.

All you need is Hot and Cold water to initially stop the itch.  I have found the shower with a handheld shower head works the best.  Something about the moving water over the affected area.  Adjust the water to as hot as possible without scalding yourself.  This will pull the fresh blood into the area and it really scratches that itch without wrecking the skin.  After a minute or so of hot water change to completely cold, do this quickly, now blast the area with the cold driving the blood deep through the affected area.  This will allow the toxins causing the inflammation to be cleared by the body and flushed out of the system. 

Doing 7 “hots” and 7 “Colds” changes, seems to be the best.  A minute or so with the hot and a minute or so with the cold. The itch will be gone.  Repeat this as needed to relieve the itch if it returns. For me the relief has lasted for hours. Hydrotherapy

After the hot and cold, hydrotherapy, I like to apply a nice Herbal salve to support the body in clearing the reason for the itch.  A good Healing Salve herbal combination to try is, Comfrey Root; Marshmallow Root, Marigold Herb, Beeswax; Essential oil of Rosemary, Lavender, Frankincense and Helichrysum. 

When the issue is persistent or severe, a liver flush may be helpful.  The liver being the vacuum of the body can be supported in its work of clearing the cause of the itch.  The ELF is often helpful when supporting the body to clear most issues affecting the skin such as eczema or hives just to name a few. Herbal wisdom has found any issue that affects the skin can often be helped by clearing the liver.  How to do an ELF

When the liver, the body’s vacuum bag is full, the liver decides to vicariously detox through the skin.  The organ, which is the skin, is unable to handle the serious toxic waste thrown out by the liver and quickly breaks down.  Clearing the liver will encourage it to detox the waste out through the proper channels (The bowels), saving the skin from this detoxing duty nature never intended it to do.

Simple but effective natural supports should not be underrated or ignored.  The longer the body is allowed to push this toxic waste from the liver out through the skin the more difficult it will be to redirect the body and liver to stop abusing the skin.  It will have become the “normal” after years of skin issues.  As with anything in life change of habit takes time and effort.  Clear these issues quickly by supporting the liver with regular detoxing programs.

Natural Support for Vertigo

Dara Dietz

Here is an update on my healing Journey for Vertigo.  Understanding what is causing the Vertigo has been very helpful in discovering how to support and clear the issue. 

The cause for me is: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) which is the most common cause of vertigo, and it’s often caused by calcium crystals that detach from their normal location in the inner ear. These crystals can then move into the semicircular canals, which sense head rotation, causing the canals to send the wrong signals to the brain. This confuses the brain, leading to the vertigo symptoms that include:

  • A spinning sensation when the head position changes
  • Falling out of bed or losing balance when getting up
  • Falling when tilting the head back or forward while walking
  • Nausea and vomiting 

There are several positional exercises you can do that are said to be helpful in clearing the symptoms from Vertigo.  After trying them and not finding them to be as effective as the herbal supports or topical application we will not discuss them in this article.  Members have shared their experiences; some have found them to be very effective.  My best suggestion is to try them for relief as some have said they are helpful, detailed instructions can be found on Youtube.

Herbal Supports that have proved very helpful in stopping the symptoms are:

Brain Food formula: 1 to 2 tsp. in a cup of hot water.  I add a little almond milk to my teas. 

NF Formula: ½ tsp in with the brain Formula. 

For a full write-up on a good brain formula, with the herbs, proportions and how to make it at home, see Circulation Is Everything for a Clear Mind.

Cayenne: 1 tsp.  This I add to make what I like to call my Hot Lemonade.

  • 1 tsp Cayenne
    • 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider vinegar
    • Lemon Juice to taste
    • Maple Syrup or Honey to taste.
    • 16 to 32 ounces of cool  or cold water 

The Cayenne can be taken in a few swallows of water or can be added to the Hot Lemonade.

Topically to aid in clearing the crystals I have found using the Charcoal/Flax Poultices over both ears to be really effective.  Three applications seems to be the key. 

Aid to Clear or Prevent Vertigo

Apply the Poultices over both ears for three hours three times.  My experience has been the symptoms have ended after the third application.  Unfortunately every time I have to visit the dentist the issue begins again. My Dentist appointments are on Thursday afternoon, each time it has taken until Saturday afternoon for the vertigo to start up again.  After my last visit we began applying the poultices as a preventive on Thursday night and Friday during the day.  There was only a very mild bit of vertigo on Saturday afternoon.  It seems to have worked very well as a preventive.  I still have two more visits to the Dentist before all this work is done.  I’m not looking forward to them but after the excellent results after this last visit it appears we have a very good game plan to deal with the issue.

The Poultices is held in place with two wide sweat bands.

Herbal Aids for Clearing an Infection in the Teeth and Gums

Dara Dietz

After breaking a tooth and having it extracted the infection occurring within the tooth and gum area was very difficult to clear.  All the regular infection work was not clearing the white pimple, indicating a pocket of infection in the gum above the extracted tooth area. 

In addition to the infection in my gums I was also dealing with a debilitating case of vertigo.  The more aggressive my infection work the more concentrated the vertigo became.  Clearing the infection from my head caused intense feelings of anxiety, loss of my balance when standing or walking, and was affecting my blood pressure. 

Between the Cayenne and Brain Formula all the vertigo issues were held under control.  Before this occurred I limited my Brain Formula to just one dose a day.  The dose needed to support me through this issue became 1 to 2 teaspoons two or three times a day.  On a few occasions I took this large dose twice in an hour when needing to seriously knock down the onset I could feel trying to get a foothold.  There was absolutely no backlash from using the increased amount of the Brain food Formula since it is not a detoxing formula.  No waste is dumped into the system for removal by the liver, kidneys, or bowels.  This is a food, or feeding combination of herbs for the brain. 

The infection support that finally cleared the pocket of infection from my gums was doing the Charcoal/Flax Seed Poultice over both my ears.  Well into my third week of infection work for my mouth I began to feel some discomfort in my left ear.  Concerned that the infection could be spreading into my ears I applied the Infection poultice (charcoal/Flax Seed) over both my ears using two large three inch sweat bands angled low around my head and over both ears to hold them in place. 

The poultices were left on for 4 hours before replacing with a fresh one.  I continued to apply them during the day over a two day period.  The first three caused my ears to become very sore.  It felt as thought the ear tissue itself was full of toxins.  I applied some healing salve to knock out the inflammation, which provided complete relief from the soreness.  By the fourth application of the infection poultice the white pimple on my gum was completely gone and my ears were unaffected by the poultice. 

While doing all this infection work I also did several ELFs (Emergency Liver Flushes) to support all the waste my liver was processing out.  It took nearly a month to completely clear the infection.  When I had my follow up appointment with the dentist after taking a full set of x-rays she said I was infection free and that the extraction site was healing beautifully .   

Doing the Infection poultice over my ears was the key that finally pulled all the infection from the gum area.  I will admit to being surprised it was so effective on the gum area when applied over the ears. 

With this in mind a good suggestion for clearing stubborn  gum infections would be in addition to the regular infection work to use the Infection poultice over both ears for topical support of the area.

Herbal Support for Hemorrhoid’s

Dara Dietz

A good Definition of a Hemorrhoid: Veins or blood vessels in and around the anus and lower rectum become swollen and irritated. This happens when there is extra pressure on these veins. Hemorrhoids can be either inside your anus (internal) or under the skin around your anus (external).

Both Varicose veins and Hemorrhoids are evidence of a nutritional poor food program. Stopping the intake of junk foods, that leach calcium from the body, will begin to clear the underlying cause allowing these conditions to thrive in the body.

Sugar in the form of candy, beverages (pop, coffee, etc), pastries and bread are the basic cause of this condition. These leach out the calcium from the body. Other culprits are white flour, tobacco, and liquor. One of the first places the leaching starts is in the veinous structure of the body, drawing off the supporting calcium. This is turn weakens the veins, causing varicose veins, which will, if allowed to continue, become phlebitis.

Here is a pdf providing several herbal suggestions to aid in reducing the inflammation and stopping the discomfort which often accompanies hemorrhoid’s.

Member Testimony

A member recently shared a hemorrhoid herbal remedy that worked beautifully for her.

She had developed a rather large prolapse hemorrhoid. After looking through suggestions for knocking down the inflammation and discomfort she decided to use her Rosemary Essential oil and castor oil over the prolapse area. She combined two teaspoons of castor oil with 5 drops of Rosemary EO, mixed well and applied over the area.

The results were that by bedtime the inflammation was reduced by 50% and the discomfort stopped when the mix was applied. Sounds like a winning herbal suggestion worth trying.

Vertigo Testimony

Dara Dietz

Learning something new is always a blessing, the part I wish I could skip is the discomfort that often precedes the acquiring of the knowledge.  Several weeks ago I bit down on a date seed and broke my tooth.  Not a lot of pain or discomfort at this point.  I was able to get right into the dentist who referred me to an oral surgeon and was told the earliest available appointment was sometime in March.  To shorten this part of the testimony I will say,  I found a great dentist who does it all.  The tooth was pulled, it came out in four parts, not fun. 

Onto the learning something new part.  I developed a severe case of vertigo.  My husband did a little research online and discovered it is common to develop vertigo after oral surgery.  Something about messing with nerves in your head.  Not being new to this issue I was using Cayenne to clear the woozy head spinning, nausea, feeling awful, issues.  It just was not working well at all. 

If it had only been a little light headedness I could have gotten thought somehow but the Vertigo was also affecting my blood pressure.  Those spikes were serious.  My husband and I prayed asking the Lord for answers.  I finally decided to call the paramedics, the blood pressure had to be addressed.   

Now I can share how well the Lord answers prayers.

The two men who arrived had been working as paramedics for a long time.  The one truly understood my aversion to doctors and hospitals.  He had some understanding of herbs and believed in their power.  Understanding that I had been using the cayenne without effect he suggested I use herbs that work to dilate the blood vessels.  What herb is best for this, he asked.  Ginkgo biloba, of course, was my answer.  With that information in mind I took a full teaspoon of the Brain Formula, which is mostly Ginkgo.  Everything cleared in a matter of minutes.  The Father will answer us when we call for help.  He sent someone with the answers I needed in a way I never expected.

So here is what I have learned this past week.

Using any source of caffein will bring on vertigo.  No Coffee, Green or black Tea, or Chocolate as they are high in Caffein which is a vessel constrictor. 

Using the Brain formula & Cayenne have completely cleared the symptoms of vertigo.  My dose has been 1 teaspoon two or three times a day. 

I’m also doing a strong infection program as the broken tooth became infected before it was pulled. 

In the past Cayenne alone was enough to clear the head spinning episodes I occasionally had.  Understanding how to truly stop the issue is impowering .

Cleansing & Flushing, Herbal Healing, My Opinion

Targeting & Clearing Toxic Congestion  

Dara Dietz

Nothing is more frustrating than to invest good money and time into a project just to discover what you are doing is making the problem worse.  When the project is healing or clearing congestion from the body the result is often more than frustration, it can also include added discomfort and pain. 

Knowing what herbal aids will do the work needed to clear an issue is only half the answer.  The body must also be prepared to move the waste out of the affected area for elimination from the body.  When there are any obstructions preventing the “die-off” from being removed the toxic waste will be reabsorbed causing pain and discomfort.  

When beginning any healing program the Liver and Kidney’s must be cleared with a good flushing program.  The Bowels must be open and working well.  The Immune system needs to be boosted ensuring that there are enough immune cells to deal with the “Die-off” that will be produced by the cleansing, healing, Herbal Supports.

Using the Salves, Hydrotherapy and herbal supports allow the congested areas to be saturated with the healing, detoxing herbal supports.  Flooding the damaged, congested areas with the nutrients to rebuild, heal, and strengthen speeds the detoxing, healing process.

Using the “First Week” Flushing programs the body will be enabled to clear the congested areas of the body allowing you to use the Salves and Herbal supports without the worry of a back-lash detoxing issue.

Clearing the Liver with an ELF will ensure the internal vacuum is able to pull the waste from every part of the body, clearing the toxins out of the system for elimination through the bowels.

Clearing the Kidneys will ensure these two filters are able to effectively clear toxins from the blood without the backup of puss and gravel which can cause, edema, painful joints, (urea crystals);  and not least of all, the blood pressure to be elevated.

During the healing process it may be necessary to repeat the ELF and Ultimate Kidney Flush several times.  Anytime the herbal supports that were working, stop working, its time to clear the Liver and Kidneys again. 

Keeping the bowels open and working well ensures all the toxins the Liver is dumping onto the bowels is being removed from the body.  If the toxic waste is reabsorbed while sitting around in the bowels waiting for elimination, this can cause flu like symptoms, which can manifest as a toxic headache, over body aches and inflammation.

The best advice when clearing any issue from the body is: Keep the Bowels open and working well, the Liver flushed, and the Kidneys clear with regular flushing.

Brain, Nerves & Sleep, Herbal Healing, Mental

Herbal Support for the Sympathetic Nervous System

Dara Dietz

This past week I received an early morning call from a distressed  member.  Throughout the night he had found it impossible to fall asleep.  Every time he would begin to dose off his body was emotionally jarred back to wakefulness.  He described it like a gunshot going off in the room causing his pulse to shoot up, throwing him straight into an anxiety attack.  He used the Nerve Food formula he had on hand which aided in calming the anxiety but was not able to stop the body from sending out the alarm signals throwing him into “Fight Or Flight” mode.   

The fight or flight response is an automatic physiological reaction to an event that is perceived as stressful or frightening. The perception of threat activates the sympathetic nervous system and triggers an acute stress response that prepares the body to fight or flee.

His description of events brought to my mind an herbal remedy my father, Dr. Carlous Mason Dsc, had used when his patients had been stuck in an Adrenal spin, (aka Fight or Flight Mode) unable to calm down.  His specialty was Low Blood Sugar and Diabetes.  I remember he used Uva Ursi, as an herbal support that worked very effectively. 

Uva Ursi, an herb that is commonly used to support the renal system.  It’s valuable in any formula supporting the Kidneys, Bladder or for men, the prostate, it is also an excellent support herb for any diuretic formula.    Uva Ursi, is not a nervine herb, which are the herbal supports used as sedatives, calming to the nerves, and food to rebuild nerve tissue.  When dealing with a body unable to calm down the first thoughts would be to use a calming blend of herbs to settle them down.   I’m so grateful our member already had my “go-to” favorite blend of nervine herbs on hand for emotional support and  anxiety attacks, allowing both of us to know nervine herbs were not the answer for ending the adrenal spin he was in.

Uva Ursi is not a detoxing herb, it is extremely uncommon to have any detoxing backlash from using the high dose of 6 to 8 capsules, Dr. Mason, recommended to shut down the sympathetic nervous system, which is activated when the body is unable to calm down from the “Flight or Fight” Mode. 

After sharing Dr. Mason’s herbal suggestions with our member he decided to pick up a bottle of Nature’s Way, Uva Ursi capsules.  I received a text from him later that evening.  He shared that an hour after he had taken 8 of the capsules he was finally able to fall asleep.  He slept deeply for four hours.  When he awoke he felt calm, all the anxiety was gone.  He decided to use the herbs again that night and has no issues to share with repeated use of the high dose. 

Herbal common sense would suggest using this herbal support when the body needs the help to shut down the sympathetic nervous system.  It is not a nervine herb to be used to settle the nerves or induce sleep on a regular basis.

With the permission of Dr. Tim Jennings I have posted two articles from his blog that explain the changes in the body when the Sympathetic Nervous System is activated.  Which by the way shuts down our ability to reason clearly.  Living in fear prevents us from being able to make good decisions.

Understanding Dis-ease

Dara Dietz

Trying to pass on the understanding of how to heal the body can be a daunting task.  When someone is dealing with a terminal condition the window of opportunity for healing can close very quickly in some cases.  While others with conditions may linger for years without showing much impact on their overall health.

What makes the difference?

One factor is, of course, the condition impacting the body.  Among the most serious and fast moving are Pancreatic Cancer and Lung Cancer.  The window of opportunity for clearing these conditions is often very narrow to nonexistent.  Even with the most aggressive natural healing programs often the diagnosis comes too late. By the time the condition has been discovered the disease has progressed beyond the body’s ability to deal.  

Another factor would be the individual’s constitution; the vitality within the person.  Someone with a strong body, mind and spirit will likely have a much easier time clearing the disease from his system. 

The Natural Healing Programs will vary little regardless the condition.   An example would be a case of hives or cancers; both are cleared through the same channels.  In most cases Hives are cleared quickly while cancer will take many months. 

What is it the body does?  One of the best explanations available is called “Health through Nutrition” by Dr. Joel Robbins

DISEASE AND ITS CAUSE

Disease or “dis-ease” is defined as a lack of health. Disease results when any cell is not functioning 100% of its designed duty whether due to trauma, toxicity, lack of communication or a combination thereof.  Disease is due to stress.

Whether due to ignorance or laziness, exposing the body to stress will produce a diseased state of the body. Stress is the only means of tearing down health resulting in disease, our bodies paying the price for violating the laws of nature (our wrong doings). We do not “catch” a disease or illness, we earn it.  We must “work” for disease.

Disease is nothing more than the body responding to the wrong we have done to it. It is the body’s attempt at keeping us alive in response to the wrongs we have inflicted on our bodies.

Pathological changes are the cell’s response to stress. These changes or compensations allow the body to survive -maintain homeostasis- as long as the stress continues. These tissue changes which result in disease are the outward manifestation of internal compensation to stress. Until the cause is removed, the condition will remain in one form or another.
