How I Would Prepare for Surgery:

I was asked today what I would do to prepare for an upcoming surgery.  Here was my response:

What is being operated on?

This is only what I personally would do:

I would find out if they plan to administer antibiotics, which they likely will.  I would tell them a “no” on that, and would gradually up my vitamin C intake in the form of ascorbic acid, prior to the surgery, then maintain the levels during and after, and very gradually bring them back down down over the next three weeks, taking less and less each day until I was back to square one of either minimal or no vit C, switching over to camu berry powder instead as a food source vit C at that time.

You can read about how people do this from places like the Vitamin C foundation and some of Linus Pauling or Thomas Levy’s work.

The main idea is free radical and infection control.

I would then use my colloidal silver for the same purpose just before and then after for a week or more daily, the smallest dose I could take just as a great back-up to control infections.  I’d use it topically in the area as well, depending on where the incision is made, to help heal the incision and control infection via stem cell stimulation which silver ions will assist with greatly, speeding up skin repair time.  A shame you could not access the TBD silver, it’s amazing.  I know it’s available there, I just don’t know where.  Hopefully yours is comparable.

Those are the first things that come immediately to mind for an operation.  Then of course water/salt (I’d stay on a saline IV for as long as possible, until I could get home for clean spring water and crystal salt) and super-clean diet with clean proteins like raw whey to help the body recover, and greens/sprouts or quality green whole food supplements.

My Teeth-Brushing Routine:

Oral health is so crucial.  Everyone knows my stance on the silver/mercury amalgam fillings, as well as root canals.  I opted for an extraction in the past few years due to not wanting my first root canal.

I do not mean to concern anyone about root canals…you can do your own research.  I just opted to avoid them due to having past illness issues, and desiring minimal possibility of a festering infection in my gums, due to the lack of circulation present when a root canal takes place.  Was just too much for me to risk, in light of managing illness.

It is theorized now that a great many systemic issues start in the mouth.  Seems to always boil down to a mouth or colon origin.  And in many ways it just makes sense.  With the mouth, we have one of our primary entry points for foreign objects entering our bodies.  The input sublingually is enough of a concern, but surely the gums and where the teeth meet the gums presents another entry point.

The idea is to (hopefully) not get TOO paranoid about infectious issues.

But with the toxic world we now live in, and the interrelationship between toxic environments and germs…I choose to be conscious of all of these things to assist my immune system, and in turn my energy reserves, as much as possible.

I brush with a very soft-brisled tooth brush, and I brush in circular motion, in each direction, forward/reverse.

My “toothpaste” is, believe it or not, coconut oil.  Sometimes I’ll spray some of my magnesium oil on it.  After brushing with either, I spit into the trash, instead of down the sink for the same reason one would not put animal fat/grease down…just to help avoid any potential clogging down the line

Once or twice a week, I will take an organic strawberry, mash it down into a near-liquid, and add an equal part aluminum-free baking soda in, stirring it into a paste.  I will brush with this for five minutes, very gently, and ultra-slow.  The strawberry has whitening properties, and the baking soda is a great alkalizer.

Between brushes or before social events, I’ll swish with no more than 3% H2O2, perhaps with a little spring water mixed in, and then rinsing with spring water.  H2O2 creates a powerful oxygenation, so I would not use any stronger H2O2 to protect the gums, and I make sure it’s a pharmaceutical grade H2O2.

A drop or two of straight organic peppermint for breath freshening, or cinnamon which is a great anti-bacterial.

At social events, organic cloves…one or two popped in the mouth and allowed to dissolve (it takes a while) is a great spice for breath freshening with an at-times intense spicyness that does the job well.

“On My World”:

Where I come from, there is a different way of living.  One that I hope starts to catch on here on this world:

All produce available anywhere is grown above what we would call “organic.”  So there are no options outside of clean, pesticide-free food, because pesticides don’t exist there.  There are other natural means of deterring insects from eating the foods.  And there is no need for a government-granted standard, since everyone agrees to the standard as is.  All want the most healthy foods they can have.

My world is one of compassion first.  It is the primary focus when any problem is encountered, as compared to focusing on consequences and/or punishments.

All food available everywhere is inherently healthy.  A variety of foods exist, with plenty to choose from.  But the first focus is on how the foods may impact most people’s bodies, and measures are taken to assure foods are uplifting for most.

The educational system has a strong focus on health and well-being.  The system, much different from the one here on so many levels, understands the interconnectedness of all, body/mind/spirit/etc, and therefore the vital importance of maintaining the bodies we are born in on a daily basis to ensure optimal performance.

There is no money.  There is exchange, and a form of “commerce” of sorts, but it is arrived at via complete participation and agreement of all.  There are no separate entities that benefit from the exchange or involve themselves in private interactions.

There is a birthright to all, assuring everyone alive of adequate food and shelter at all times.  This is a world-wide effort, since the importance of each and every person is held to such a high standard.

Nature is as much of a focus as the health of the people.  There is an understanding, again, that there is an intimate inter-relationship between the people and nature, and it therefore is held with high appreciation and respect.
