Remove. At High Mountain Wellness Center, we have effective options for internal cleansing to help eliminate parasites and detoxify your liver, which can result in less fluid retention, reduced inflammation, improved memory, greater bladder control, a better balanced pH, a stronger immune system and significant pain relief. The options we offer include:

1. Quantum Biofeedback. Your one-hour in-office individual session focuses on reducing stress from pathogens, using targeted frequencies to weaken and disrupt the health of the pathogens, while also supplying immune boosting frequencies to help your body reject parasites, fungi, molds, viruses, harmful bacteria and spirochetes.

2. Ionic Foot Bath. The Ionic Foot Bath is a water detoxification system that cleanses, balances and enhances your body’s electromagnetic energy field.

3. High-spin water. Pathogens and toxins have protons that spin to the left (counterclockwise). Healthy tissue and beneficial organisms have right-proton spin. The High Spin water floods your body with beneficial right spin, which effectively disrupts the environment for pathogens, while supporting healthy body functions.

4. New Moon Sub-Space Parasite Cleanse and Detox Sessions. Subspace sessions are sent remotely; that means that you enjoy the session in the convenience and comfort of your own home. At new moon, the body’s capacity for detoxification is at its highest. You will receive a 2-hour detox and parasite cleansing protocol via subspace session. You don’t need to do anything, just relax and drink plenty of water. Monthly we will email clients a reminder for the next session date a few days in advance, along with helpful ideas for incorporating cleansing into your daily routine.

Re-inoculate. Probiotics* are the key here, as these “good bugs” feed on the baddies we are trying to control! Without beneficial bacteria in your gut, your body can’t produce some key vitamins, like biotin, or vitamin K. A deficiency of vitamin K can be as big a risk factor for heart attack as smoking!

Replace. As you get older, your stomach is less able to produce acid. You need stomach acid to absorb minerals and vitamin B12, a vitamin that is essential for producing red blood cells in the bone marrow. A simple solution for this problem is to take a tablet of hydrochloric acid* with meals.

Repair. Digestive enzymes* are activated by stomach acid to break down food into its constituent parts. Antacids impair the function of these vital enzymes. Your digestive system will heal itself when you eliminate the use of acid-blockers and antacids, and use enzyme supplements at each meal.

Reduce your chemical overload. Toxins come from many sources, including: food, water, air, plants, organisms, chemicals, toxic metals, noise, weather, altitude, radiation, electromagnetic fields, geopathic stress, excess body chemicals, even emotional trauma. Just like you clean the junk out of your packed-to-the-ceiling garage before you can park your new car in it, If you want to heal your gut, get rid of the toxins that most harming it.

Restore. Restore your body’s health through good nutrition, exercise, increasing fiber, chewing thoroughly and other wellness habits.

Repent. As you progress through this process, you will learn some new things about yourself, get healthier, and feel better than you ever thought you could! That should make it easier to commit to your new healthier lifestyle, and not return to the lifestyle choices and habits that previously made you sick.

*Probiotics, digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid tablets are all available at health food stores.
