Abnormal body functioning is called dis-ease.

Dis-ease is derived from two words, dis and ease.

An allergy is a red flag, the body is full of toxins.

To the body toxins in excess, always result in abnormalities.


Toxins clog cell membrane walls. Clogged cell walls are then unable to absorb enough nutrition and minerals to support normal cell, organ and body functioning. In a healthy body cell and organs are in perpetual dialog electrically and chemically. Toxins reduce and block benefits from food and nutritional supplements. This leads to anemia and lowered vitality.

Allergies, is a signal something is poisonous to the body. Body: "Hey, I’ve had it, I’m loaded up. I can’t take any more." Lab tests have shown that people with allergies are toxin dumps. Their body is loaded up with all kinds of toxins. Filled to the brim! Giving the body something against a specific allergy is equivalent to a dog chasing its tail. Is working on specific allergies barking up the wrong tree? What happens when we flush away all toxins? Laboratory test show that after toxin flushing, allergic reactions cut down drastically. Using natural toxin cleaners (free radical scavengers) is the only solution. Clean out the body and the allergies will be minimized or gone altogether. An allergic body is like a tea cup filled to the brim with toxins, the body rebels.

Why does a body form tumors? A poll of medical doctor and Vet friends agree with me that toxins are the bodies way of encapsulating diseased tissue to protect itself. Tumors are the body's defense mechanism in action. Cutting out the tumor is only a temporary solution. It doesn’t solve the real problem. What caused the tumor in the first place? Toxins! Eliminate the toxins, you eliminate the bodies need to form tumors. Why doesn’t western medicine see this?

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY ON CANCER, TUMORS, ITCHING AND SCRATCHING, INFECTIONS, EAR MITES, FLEAS, EARLY AGING AND ALL OTHER CHRONIC AND ACUTE HEALTH PROBLEMS OCCURRING WITH PETS AND PEOPLE

As a full time homeopathic and herbal doctor for the past 30 years, I have seen a steady increase in what is a basic problem with pets and people. Toxicity of the body. I will try to answer the following questions.

What is considered toxins?|

Why are bodies so toxic?

Where do toxins come from?

What is the best way to prevent toxins?

How do we get rid of toxins?

How can we help pets and ourselves prevent cancer, tumors, early aging and many diseases?

What kinds of toxins are there? First, to address every type of toxin would be impossible. I would like to place toxins under two categories and point out the destruction they do inside the body.

1.  The metal poisoning types, arsenic, lead, mercury, aluminum, etc.

2. Toxin types derived from petroleum-based products, paint thinners, benzene, toluene, synthetics, and other chemicals, and electrical toxins (EMF).

Why do toxins bring anemia? Toxins coat cell walls leaving a sticky, thick, greasy, pasty glue hindering greatly vitamin, mineral and enzyme absorption and most importantly natural cell reproduction. The blocking of normal cell reproduction causes premature aging and disease. You might be giving yourself or your pet the best vitamins, enzymes and minerals available but due to toxins blocking the way it’s near impossible for any nutrient to be absorbed. This results in anemia and vitamin mineral deficiencies.

Toxin coated cell walls cause excessive dryness and moisture to body areas. This results in various skin and itch problems. This uneven water distribution within the body drastically reduces proper natural flushing action of toxins out of the body.

A healthy body with low toxins usually contains the proper balance of trace elements, minerals, and vitamins to naturally flush itself. In addition an even distribution of water in the body will result in optimum absorption of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Cells are able to reproduce and replace themselves.

Toxins scar and burn cell walls. This damage hinders vitamins, enzymes and minerals from being absorbed. To help reverse this destruction comfrey and aloe head the top of the list.
Scientists just discovered a gene responsible for flushing out toxins from body cells. They inserted this gene into fruit flies and to their amazement found the fruit flies life span double. Could keeping the body cleansed from toxins be the key to longer life in all life forms?

Toxins are forerunners to parasites, fleas and ticks.

Nature’s pests naturally seek a run down host to ravage and plunder.

What can I do to prevent or fight off any suspected parasites, giardia, Lyme, candidiasis or organism?

The drain on the body from unwelcome invaders raises havoc to body chemistry. These predators cause the body to become even more acid than it may already be. A wonderful natural offensive would be the daily introduction of apple cider vinegar. Vinegar sweetens the body and making it less inviting to unwelcome pests. Example. When you pour a little apple cider vinegar in a greasy pan the fat is immediately dissolved into a suspension. A similar action happens to body toxins and blocked up waste in the body. This dissolving action is one of the best toxin flushers.

Grandma’s old-time recipe. Sweeten the body. A number one acid neutralizer. With pets start with one drop in their drinking water and double it each day. In this way they will get used to the strong taste and learn to like it. Work up to about a 1/2 ounce daily for medium-sized dog. Smaller animals, use 1/4 ounce daily. This natural approach is the first step in helping the body flush away toxins. Parasites, bacteria and viruses do not to thrive well in low acid bodies. A few drops of vinegar in your pets drinking water will also help bring a glossy coat. Vinegar is also helpful to help the body fight arthritis and dissolve inorganic calcium in the joints.

Hair analysis has shown that whenever toxins are present there are abnormally high levels of parasites, candidia, viruses and retroviruses. In many cases Lyme is present. From Massachusetts to California and out as far as Japan we tests have found Lyme viruses showing up whenever parasites are present. We believe there is a connection between parasites, bacteria and viruses. Maybe they party together! Lab tests shows a variety of viruses, retroviruses, neuter-viruses, candidia, and Lyme present when parasites are found.

Body pollution and its myriad of destructive entities bring on many health problems. A lot of pets have chronic ear infections, mites, itch, flea and tick problems. Often that nasty little parasite Giardia is also present. The energy draining Lyme and Candidia virus counts climb. Bacteria counts rise, infections manifest, wounds heal slowly, there may be oozing or runny eyes and sores. Itching and scratching, (a sign the body is working at eliminating toxins). Boils, tumors, loss of hair and skin problems are a red flag to high toxin levels.

Given the opportunity "Mother Nature" will jump at the chance to heal herself. Why not use the bodies own defense mechanism?  Isn’t that what a vaccine does! Homeopathic medicine accomplishes the same thing, only in smaller non-toxic doses. You can’t fight "Mother Nature" but you can help her. My grandmother said: "For every disease brought on to man or beast, Mother Nature holds the cure." Supply the body with the best toxin flushers, throw in enough easily assimilated food source vitamins, select the appropriate minerals and the body will jump at the chance to heal itself. This is the only way to achieve robust heath.

Vitamins, supplements including all-natural vitamins and supplements?

Who is to say our bodies are absorbing those expensive pills and capsules we gulp down by the handful? Tests have shown that most vitamins pass through the body without being dissolved. Public toilet cleaning companies report mounds of vitamins left behind after cleaning and sanitizing. They even report that the many pills still show the manufacturer's trademark. Disgusting and enlightening, I hope. Are you or your pet paying for something your body isn’t absorbing?

Let me continue. There is bigger problem with all vitamins, herbs, pills and capsules. What about the manufacturing process used to create these products? How toxic is the binder? All pills have binder products to hold them together. Plus what chemicals are used in the manufacture process? Weekly I receive vitamins, natural vitamins, pet food, water samples, to test for toxins and heavy metals. People are amazed at the high levels of toxins (aluminum, arsenic, mercury, lead, chemicals, etc.) found in their samples.

Thirty five patients of mine are heavily involved in multi-level natural vitamin marketing groups. They all ask me the same question. "Why are the products I sell not giving me the same energy boost they once did?" Their hair analysis shows high levels of mercury, lead, aluminum, paint thinner, touloul, benzene, formaldehyde and dozens of other lethal carcinogenics. Needless to say they are amazed. Six months on a cleanse, repair, vitamin, mineral and trace mineral program they all report more energy then they had in years, require less sleep, feel better, and friends keep telling them how good they look. Again could it be toxins?

I advise my patients that the least processed (steps) a food or supplement has gone through the better. Organically grown, freshly picked, eaten as close too its raw as possible is always best.

I have found that the least toxic and best foods go in this order.

For pets the zoo quality raw meat with ground up bone and gizzards, is number one best.
Also I suggest to pet owners, use a mix of different top brand pet foods. What essential nutrient missing in one may be present in another. Cover your bases. Personally I give my pet tribe brands (lab tested) which have the least toxins, growth hormones, antibiotics and have the highest nutritional values. In general tests show expensive is not necessarily the best. I suggest pick any top three brands pet food, mix together or alternate when feeding pets.

For produce use fresh, frozen raw or slightly cooked. In the vitamin mineral supplement family use only natural types, read the list of ingredients. Make sure it is a total food source vitamin or mineral supplement. If the label says things like beets, rose hips, green pepper, and things that grow, you may have something good. Words not found in a plant or mineral dictionary I wouldn’t feed myself or my pets.

Here is an off the wall tip. When buying bread for your use, buy the bread where the first few words on the ingredient label do not say enriched.

To summarize. If you have a choice, if hasn’t grown from seed or not completely natural (found in nature) you don’t want it for your pet or yourself. Try your best to avoid all life shortening toxins no matter how small the amount.

Please remember, toxins in the body block very important trace minerals from being absorbed. Some of these minerals are responsible for equal water distribution throughout the body. Toxins clog up and block natural assimilation of vitamins, enzymes and minerals resulting in the body running anemic. We hear of thin bones. This lack of calcium causes the body into cannibalizing itself for calcium and nutrients including it is own skeletal network. When a body cannot get material from outside sources to repair itself, it looks to itself for the necessary nutrients.

The survival mechanism is incredibly cleaver. The almighty designer and programmer did a good job. All is not lost. Reversing this vicious circle by providing plenty of good fuel, is easy. Pets and people have amazing resiliency as long as we don’t wait too long. An engine can only run so long without oil. Waiting until a body is infested with tumors and cancer is almost impossible to reverse. Catch it early and it’s easy. Provide it with the materials it needs and its internal programming will do its best to rebuild itself.

Is there a lack of elasticity of tissue because of missing trace elements? Cellular structure must retain a specific elasticity and resiliency. When trace elements are deficient, tissue sags and bulges similarly to a worn out nylon stocking. This deficiency shows when wounds are slow to heal, bruises remain, bumps quickly show black and blue, aneurysms, etc. Lack of trace elements often leads to this condition. Calcium Fluoride is one of many essential body trace minerals responsible to maintain elasticity of body tissue.

Toxins also accumulate in the fatty cells followed by the body turning too acidity. Glands get loaded with toxins and you have the perfect environment for parasites to have a field day. Lymph glands swell trying to confine infectious matter, in an attempt to protect the body from the spread of infection. The glandular system slows down. The endocrine system and the thyroid become more inactive. This can also lead to over or under weight problems. Once the thyroid goes on strike; acting like a monarch on the throne becoming a road block, preventing what little nutrients are left from being distributed to organs and other essential areas. Not only does the body need to be cleansed from toxins thus allowing passage of essential building materials but the thyroid needs nutritional help. At this stage don’t forget that the finest vitamins, herbs and foods will only pass through and never help this starving toxic sludged up body. People wonder why in spite of taking the best, natural supplements and foods they don’t feel better!

I have had some very interesting meetings with medical doctors’ one of which is on the Board of Directors for Internal Medicine in Washington, D.C. He emphatically agreed with me that cancer cannot and will not, survive in a body free of toxins. Now why isn’t this widely publicized?

What is the best way to cut down on toxins? Toxins abound everywhere. From invisible electrical beaming (EMF), airborne contact through skin and ingested. Little by little it builds up. Continual flushing is important. Water, plus nature’s free radical scavengers is the only answer. Lab tests show the inner pine bark from the northern pine one of the best toxin flushers. Fresh vegetables are excellent. Try to use the least processed food source products possible. Organically grown vegetables, raw or slightly cooked is best. Cut down or eliminate anything shrink wrapped, canned, frozen or products containing any preservative. Green and yellow colored vegetables and fruit are the best toxin cleansers.

Water! Water! Water!

You cannot force a pet to drink more water. An incentive to drinking more water for you or your pet is to have plenty of clean (parasite-free), cool drinking water available. Spring fed bottled water within 200 miles of your location, recently moving water is the best.

I’d stay away from reverse osmosis water, it’s too processed and has hardly any minerals, it’s simply not natural. Two to three quarts is the minimum daily dosage to help maintain an average sized adult. People should compensate with additional water when drinking teas, coffees, soft drinks and alcohol. These drinks dehydrate the body and hold in toxins.

When you have a choice, choose the water, food, herb, vegetable or products raised and grown as close to your area as possible. The body needs to have compatible vibrations for more effective assimilation of nutrients.

Question: Dr. Jordan, why is it that I take all these herbal supplements and I still feel tired? (A question I’m often asked.)

Computer tests have shown that when a body takes herbs, over time the herbs are not being assimilated. One reason, some herbs are so strong they burn and scar the cell walls and absorption is blocked. Another reason is the extractors used to prepare herbs is highly toxic. After following a detox regime followed by natural supplements containing the compounds to repair and rejuvenate cell walls, herbs can then be introduced back into the body. A hair diagnostic can measure if toxins are removed and what herbs can safely be brought back into the picture to help the body. Herbs should only be taken in moderation and never indiscriminately.

Getting rid of toxins? Besides water, try getting your pet used to watermelon. Cut up the red and some of the white part, throw it in the blender along with the seeds. The melon, red, white part and seeds are good for pets and people and is a wonderful natural toxin cleanser.

Introducing new tastes! Introduce anything new very slowly, starting with a tiny amount like 1/8 tsp. to 1.4 tsp. doubling the amount every two days. In no time even a fussy pet should be taking it readily.

More Natural toxin cleansers: A wonderful body toxin cleaner is the juice of fresh lemon. Not the lemon juice in the bottle. It’s too processed and may contain toxins. Begin giving your pet just a drop or two in their drinking water and doubling every two days.

When toxins build in the body, so does the acidity level. A perfect atmosphere for parasites, bacteria and fungus.

Another little known toxin cleaner is fresh ground ginger on food or in the water is very helpful to the kidneys and the liver.

Cranberry juice (for people only) is a good free radical scavenger, read the label. I do not like to use it because it has corn sugar in it. It is your call. It is better then drinking cocoa cola.

More toxin-cleanser body boosters:

Usually any kind of leafy green vegetable or fruit are very good free radical scavengers. If someone has the ambition, wheat grass water is a good cleaner.

Green tea is very good free radical scavenger. It tastes mild and is good for pets and people.

I do not like to give pets any salt or products containing sugar.

Ground up garlic is very good for toxin cleansing. If your giving your pet homeopathic remedies hold off on garlic or it will cut down the action of most homeopathics. A clove a day is a good maintenance health schedule. To a small pet, grind up a clove or a pinch if in powdered form or 1/16 of a teaspoon adequate.

Brewer’s Yeast is very good to help add natural B complex vitamin and energy and good against the parasites. If your pet has candidia problems or any infections ask your practitioner first.

Minimize giving your pet acid type foods like tomato lasagna, Italian foods, and encourage more of the rice mixes with meat raw or cooked and raw bones. Don’t give your pet raw ham bones. Beef bones are the best. If your pet likes it, give the broth of chicken, beef, calves liver is healthy and helps fight infection.

Another natural antibiotic is colloidal silver. Make sure you don’t use too strong a dilution. 9.9 PPM is plenty strong. I have had shelters giving their animals up to 40 PPM and these poor creatures were plagued with infections. Silver to strong will kill the good bacteria thus preventing any infecting fighting. 9.9 PPM of colloidal silver in small amounts 4-6 times a day is the magical number. The best dosage is three or four times a day in one quarter to one teaspoon amounts. For small pets (kitten size) three to five drops, four to six times a day. The larger animals, 70 pounds and up, half teaspoon, four to six times a day. A healthy animal give colloidal silver twice a day. There is also colloidal gold which is good for bones and arthritis problems.

Damage control: Now as the toxins are being flushed out we have cell walls and body organs that are scarred and burned from toxin damage. We need to supply the body with the trace minerals it needs to repair itself. Comfrey, Menekudu a variety of green vegetables and body essential trace minerals are at the top of the list.

Good diet for pets. The animals’ digestive system in cats and dogs can easily digest raw meat. Their digestive system is able to handle it safely. The healthiest animals, resistant to parasites and bacteria, fungal problems and fleas were fed zoo quality raw meat. This is more than just raw meat but includes the intestines and bones of animals. There is a company that can ship this frozen product to your door. Pure raw meat is not enough nutrition for a cat or dog. Your pets' ancestors ate the gizzards first and the meat second and left the bones for last.

With our food products becoming more and more processed products, we are being exposed new lists of toxins. Plastic, petroleum-based products, formaldehyde, out-gassing from wrappings, exhaust gasses, emissions, houses, furniture, chemicals including thousands of new toxins (carcinogens). Some we breathe in, others we consume and more is absorbed through our skin. We cannot run from it. Nevertheless, we must take steps to protect ourselves and our pets by counteracting with toxin cleansers, body and organ rejuvenators and all the natural minerals, herbs and fresh wholesome food at our disposal. We must learn to live and accept life as it is.

I thought everyone knew the danger and harm of aluminum, yet we go buy a pie at the store on an aluminum plate. I just received a call from a client who just read this article and thought she would do some checking in her kitchen.  To her amazement she discovered that the rice milk product she had been using for her children came in a box with an aluminum lining!  She couldn't believe it.  She told me she's going back to buying the goats milk from the farmer down the road.  "Thanks to your article", she said, I would have never thought of checking the inside of the milk container for aluminum.

Have you used that dried soup mix?  Does it have an aluminum lining inside the bag?. Oh, you might say it has a plastic coating!  Lab tests have shown aluminum lined containers coated with plastic is no barrier from preventing this debilitating poison from leaching into our food.

Do you buy that all natural top brand toothpaste? Take a close look and see if it doesn’t have aluminum in the cap? 

Aluminum, according to the AMA (American Medical Association) is one of the principle causes of Alzheimer’s Disease. Aluminum is well known amongst European health practitioners, to cause dementia, brain and mental problems. This occurs with animals as well.

Itching, skin conditions, tumors, cancer are signs of toxins. It’s a sign the body is trying to pass out toxins away from vital organs. Clean out toxins and you get rid of the problem. Doctors agree and it makes sense. Nature has the materials to clear away toxins and keep them flushed out. It’s now up to you and your pet.

If you would like more information on where to get these products, help on a health maintenance program or have any questions please give me a call.

Your comments and suggestions are most welcome. Robert Jordan DHM
