Avoid Detox Insanity: Drain & Detox First For Mold & Pathogens.

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

If you’re constipated and you don’t open the pathways of detoxification before you are killing pathogens, those toxins will recirculate and get reabsorbed back into your system. The toxins are delivered again to your liver, which has to process them all over again. This can happen with the same toxin...

These Are The Signs You Need A Deep Liver Cleanse.

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

If your liver cells are damaged by toxins, bacteria, parasites and so on they explode and release enzymes into the bloodstream, which can cause elevated liver enzymes. When too many liver cells have exploded, they leave an empty space in the liver. The liver replaces these empty spaces with fat,...

Improve Digestion, Elimination AND Peristalsis....Feel Better Again!

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Peristalsis is a wave like muscular contraction that squeezes food through the digestive tract and intestines to be digested. Things like Mold Illness, Lyme Disease and Parasite Infections can affect peristalsis. Hypothyroidism also affects peristalsis and motility.  Pathogens slow, interrupt, and stagnate digestion by blocking how your body processes food,...

Bile movement is needed for digestion, elimination, hormones and mycotoxin elimination.

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Mycotoxins congest bile.  If bile is stagnant, it can be a breeding ground for parasitic infections and viruses.   Bile helps you preserve the vitamin D that you gained from sun exposure during the warm summer months. Bile helps you preserve vitamin A and all the other fat soluble nutrients....

How Binders Work.

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Here is some good information on Binders from Allison Vickory. I've added some of my own thoughts on the subject as well. How Binders Work: Binders are fibers that sit in the gut. When the liver processes toxins, it binds them to bile and excretes this into the gastrointestinal tract....

A word about binders.

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Binders only work if they can keep their bind and carry the bile out through stool. If you are not moving your bowels, that bind can break, releasing the mycotoxin in the gut where it can cause more damage than when it was bound. If you are constipated, you'll need...

Your GallBladder is NOT an Optional Organ....Despite What You've Been Told.

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Keep Your Gallbladder Healthy and Free of Stones. Your gallbladder is an organ that is considered to be part of the digestive system, that is, it is needed for proper digestion and the bile it stores is needed for effective elimination. We, and our doctors, seem to undervalue the job...

Hair Can't Survive An Unhealthy Liver.

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

An underperforming liver struggles to metabolize the essential nutrients, vitamins and hormones involved in hair growth.Hair is primarily made of a tough, fibrous protein called keratin, and small amounts of lipids (fats), water, and trace minerals. Keratin is composed of long chains of amino acids, which form strong, insoluble fibers that provide strength, elasticity and stability to your hair.

Mold Illness & Constipation

Karen Fitzpatrick-Dame, ChhC, AADP

Constipation is a big problem in the mold sick community. The reason is that mold blocks the whole digestive system. Vitamin C, Magnesium and Senna all work in the lower part of the colon. But mold is blocking between the stomach acid and the bile making and bile flowing and that is why it is important to use BILE MOVERS.
