If you have kids or grandkids, you can just start passing on this wisdom. together, or we can all get healthier. What I want to do is talk about the work of Dr. Hans Heinrich Reckeweg, a German physician who the HEEL remedies were based upon. If you don't know what the healing remedies are, that's okay. I'll tell you about them another time. But what I want to do is talk about his philosophy of homotoxicology. The way he looked at health and the way I look at health care from this viewpoint. We have six phases of when we get exposed to a toxin and what our body does. The first phase is excretion motion, and excretion can be tears, it can be mucus, it can be your nose running, it can be sweating, it can be puking, it can be pooping, or diarrhea. It's the body's way of saying, This doesn't belong here. I have to get rid of it. Unfortunately, in our society, we've been taught this is uncomfortable, which, yes, it is, but we've been taught we don't have time to deal with this. This is not good. This is scary.

Let's take an antidiarrheal or antiemetics to stop the throwing up, or let's take something to just shut it down. We're going to decongestant. We're going to dry up the mucus, and we don't let our body do its natural thing. Also, increased urination can be a sign of excretion. Instead of letting our body's wisdom excrete and get rid of the toxin, we shut it down. We don't do very well on excretion. Then we go to the next stage, which is inflammation, and inflammation is itis. We have sinusitis, bronchitis, or cystitis. Acute inflammation. We talk a lot about inflammation being a bad thing. Chronic inflammation is a bad thing. But one of the reasons we end up with chronic inflammation and why chronic inflammation is related to so many chronic illnesses—neurogenic diseases, cardiovascular disease, cancer, autoimmunity—is because we don't let our body inflame acutely when it is a good thing in what we want to be doing when our body innately. Again, this is all about the innate wisdom of the body harnessing it. What do we do? We take Tylenol, we take aspirin, and we shut it down. We're afraid of fevers. Don't let little Johnny or little Amy have a fever. Get that fever down. Make them comfortable instead of riding the fever out instead of encouraging the body.

How many of you still get a fever? How many of you get a good fever? How many of you can get 102 fever or 103 fever? If we allow our body to excrete and we allow our body to inflame and get a fever. It is such a gift for ourselves to burn off these toxins. If you take nothing else if you just start looking at, I can make time for a fever; I can make time to be sick. I can make time for my body to do its thing. Because when we don't, we go to the third stage. We're in the connective tissue now. is the inflammation, the itis phase. We go to deposition, and this takes place in the extracellular matrix. If you hang out with me long enough, you're going to learn what the extracellular matrix is. Because this is truly where health begins and ends. This is where the cells get their information. This is the soup that the cells are floating in. This is the highway that brings the nutrients and oxygen to the cells and takes away the waste and the toxins. This is such an important part of health, and if we haven't excreted or burned off, we then get deposition.

This could look like gallstones. It could look like a weight you can't lose. It can look like chronically swollen lymph nodes. It can look like a cyst. It can look like eczema; it can look like so many different things depending on where your weak link is and how your body is going to express the disease. We have these first three stages. If we don't handle our toxins by allowing our body and supporting our body to do its thing, we cross this imaginary what's called the biological divide. Now these toxins are getting into the cells. Now we have what's known as impregnation. The toxins are now in the cell. They're disrupting function. Now disease processes are going to look more serious. Now instead of acute bronchitis, we have chronic bronchitis or chronic cystitis. We have these chronic infections. We have coronary heart disease. We have rheumatoid arthritis. We have toxins in the cell. From this impregnation, we go to degeneration, which is considered irreversible. Now, I don't believe anything is irreversible in my 23 years of work with patients who have been told they're going to die because they have end-stage cancer, and we have turned it around.

I don't believe that. I always believe in options, opportunities, miracles, and possibility. I want you to, and within reason. Sometimes the cure is that it's time to go, but not always. We always have to be open to possibilities. But this degeneration now in the cell, we're having this destruction of the cellular enzymatic functions, the energy production. We're looking at disease processes: congestive heart failure, Alzheimer's, COPD. The diseases are getting more chronic and more severe. Lastly, we go to dedifferentiation. Now we have free radicals running wild and oxidative stress running wild. We have the destruction of organs and tissues. This is where we see cancer. This is where we see cancer. One of the things I always hear is that I do a lot of work with patients who have been given a cancer diagnosis. Like clockwork, during that first visit, when I was taking their case, one of the things I always hear is, I don't understand Dr. Stills. How did I get cancer? I never even get sick. This is what I explained to them getting sick now—not talking about excreting and getting sick and fevers chronically or every month or every other month, but a good sickness once a year, twice a year.

Let's exercise your immune system; let it work itself out; let it stay in shape, and so it is very important. I often put it at the top of my patients's to-do lists. We're going to get a fever. We're going to get sick. You haven't been sick in seven years. It's a little weird, but your naturopathic medical doctor is at the top of the list. We want to get you sick, so we must keep this context of what toxins do and how there's a progression when we're thinking about detoxification. I hope that by looking at it from this perspective, you realize that it would be silly or unrealistic to think that, just drinking a green drink every morning is going to help me detoxify. Or doing this five-day detox skid is going to get all the heavy metals out of my body. Toxins burrow into our fat cells. Why? Again, the innate wisdom of the body's cells will keep you safe. These toxins are very harmful. Let's put them in your fat tissue where they can be stored away and not affect you as much.

If you're having trouble losing weight, it could be your body protecting you because you have so many toxins in you. Yesterday we talked about the thyroid, an autoimmune disease; one of the biggest drivers of autoimmune disease for the thyroid and Hashimoto's and for other autoimmune diseases, MS, and so forth, is mercury toxicity, and so we have to; I can't talk about the teeth. We have to look at our teeth. Do we have fillings in our mouths? If we have fillings in our mouths, we have to get them removed. We have to get them removed properly; it has to be done by a biological dentist who is trained in smart mercury amalgam removal. You can check iaomt.org. It's funny; I can hear the garbage truck outside, so it's like they're coming and taking the garbage. I'm talking about taking the garbage out of your body. Detox and detoxing. You can go to iaomt.org. You can look for a dentist. I can't vouch for all dentists. When you get into deeper work on root canals and cavitation, it's important to find a qualified dentist. But for the most part, if you go to iaomt.org and find a doctor trained in smart mercury removal, you should be able to trust them to remove your mercury.

Don't remove it from a well-meaning family dentist. You will get more exposure, and it can be much more harmful. But that's just one example of how heavy metals, particularly mercury, can be driving toxicity and the diagnosis of disease. When we have our mercury removed, I see this all the time. Patients have had their mercury removed, and I'm wondering, did anyone check you to see what's left and what your body stories are? They're, no. When we checked, there's always a body store because the faucet was dripping; when you remove it, the faucet is turned off. But what about all the dripping that was going on for all those years? We always have to go back in and pull the metals. This is not a three-day project. This could be a year or two years. We want to open up the alimenteries. We want to make sure the blood is flowing. The fascia is unrestricted. The matrix is clear, the lymph is flowing, you're pooping, your liver is working, your skin is open, and your kidneys are functioning. There's a lot that goes into setting the body up to detox before we start the detox process.

I hope this has been helpful. There's a lot more to the story. I'm just again giving you some pointers. When we do heavy metal testing, pre- and post-urinary provocation is the gold standard. That's how it needs to be done. What else can I tell you quickly? Those organs I just talked about. We have to open them. When we do that, we start feeling better automatically, that ensures when we do start pulling toxins, they are excreted out of the body. That was the first stage of human toxicology excretion. We don't want to just play whack-a-mole and pull toxins from one place to another place in the body. We want to make sure we're doing this wisely and that we're doing it safely. It is B.S. that when you're detoxing, you're going to feel worse, that you're going to hurt. That is just someone who hasn't taken the time to set your body up for a proper detox. When you are detoxing properly, when you have a guide such as myself, you feel good. We do it kindly, and we do it successfully. 

I hope that has helped get you started on the detox journey, and we will be sharing more. I'll be sharing more as the days come. I want you to think about what I talked about in the beginning. Do you let your body excrete? Do you let your body have a fever, and can you start doing that? If you haven't, it is never too late to get healthy. Every choice we make, every thought we think, is always moving us either in the direction of illness or the direction of health. We have that choice. Don't think you blew it. It's never too late. We can grab the opportunity, get healthy, and have an amazing, sacred second act where we are consciously having a plan. Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly for moving these toxins out of our body. Enjoy the rest of the day and get another day. Every day is just, I'm, oh my God, every day is just so amazing. There is not a bad day; there is not a bad injury. They are all chock full of information from me to you to help you on your journey. I'm sending you all the love, and I'll see you soon.

Hello. Welcome to day five. I'm Dr. Sharon Stills, your host, here to kick you off with my little mini-infused wisdom and knowledge for you all on your journey. Before you listen to the amazing talks we have in store for you today. It's so hard. I get to come talk to you for 15 minutes every morning, and I'm always asking, What are the topics I'm going to talk about? There are so many, it's hard to narrow it down. But today I'm going to talk to you about detox because detox is a huge topic and I want to do it just a little bit of justice in these 15 minutes that I have with you now. First, I want to just set the record straight. There is no magic pill. I wish there was, but there is no magic bullet. Just drink this drink every morning. Just take these supplements in this kit for five days, and you will detox. Detox is very complicated and has to be done with patience, wisdom, and appreciation for how the body works. What I want to share with you today is a framework about detox that hopefully can start to change the way you act in your life and with your family.
