"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."

Confucius (551 BC – 479 BC) was a Chinese teacher, editor, and philosopher. By Simran Khurana (Updated March 18, 2017)

The table below requires mobile phone users to manually adjust the screen for optimal viewing.

Each chronic patient has different needs. (Therefore, the frequency of therapies and supplements is individual.)

Recommended Lifestyle Habits.

Minimize your medication intake. You should seek professional advice to prevent contraindications if you take medicine regularly.
Avoid or minimize smoking & drinking alcoholic beverages. Alcohol and smoking are harmful, suppress the immune system, and gradually destroy liver and lung cells.

Frequency and timing, the intensity of treatments, and the dosage of supplements are individually adjusted.

You should listen to your body and act accordingly. Sometimes, the body needs to rest. Take your time and rest until you feel capable of proceeding.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions concerning recommended dosages and timing before meals or on an empty stomach.
The body's regeneration process occurs mainly during sleep. That is why I took antioxidants like milk thistle and bentonite before sleep.

Liver & gallbladder flush, in particular, entail considerable risks. (With many benefits.) Please follow all instructions very carefully.

Link: Liver and Gallbladder flush. Instructions, Benefits, and Risks.

Nutritional habits.

Drink lemon juice (Without sugar) and one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with warm water on an empty stomach every morning. It cleanses the kidneys, dissolves bile stones in the liver and gallbladder, helps keep weight down, and boosts the immune system.
Eat an abundant, balanced variety of diets. The balanced-varied diet is the most suitable anti-inflammatory diet.
Drink only natural beverages, without artificial additives or sugar & milk.

Symptoms during the recovery period.

Be aware that there are ups and downs in the process of self-healing. Sometimes, recovery is challenging. It does not mean that it is not working. The last stages are the hardest because the immune system is becoming more responsive, and therefore, the symptoms might worsen, but it comes with many minor signs of recovery. (Light fever and fatigue are signs that healing is in the process.)

Frequently asked questions and answers:

Acupuncture is available in my area, but nutrition is a problematic issue.

I recommend that the chronically ill (even the healthy) stick to an anti-inflammatory diet whose principles are detailed in the chapter on nutrition. At the same time, I recommend using a naturopath to create a personalized diet. It is essential to emphasize that there are quite a few schools of thought regarding nutrition, so you will probably not find uniformity in the recommendations.

Is the load of the self-healing therapies not excessive?

I am a very extreme case that does not constitute an example considering the scope and frequency of the various treatments. Chronically ill patients are supposed to listen to their bodies and perform therapies at a pace that suits them. The most critical part is not to break and return to the medicine cabinet.

Is it possible to deviate significantly from the frequencies you recommend?

The frequencies of the different therapies must be customized. In cases where there is doubt, it is advisable to consult a naturopath.

Is it possible to perform therapies using the self-healing method while taking medication?

Self-healing therapies can also be performed for those taking medication, but it is advisable to reduce gradually or all at once (responsibly) the taking of non-critical drugs.

I don't feel like I can cope without guidance in various therapies.

I recommend that chronic patients seek the help of a naturopath, especially in the early stages of lifestyle and diet change.

How did I manage all these tedious tasks over the years?

I gave myself enough time and managed everything like a military operation. With precise schedules, perseverance, and determination, with the understanding that I have no choice! I broke down on average twice a week for those asking, but I kept going.

Challenge Yourself, Your Knowledge and Intuition:

Summary table of natural therapies suitable for chronic patients.

1. Why do chronic patients often require a variety of natural therapies?

Chronically ill patients often need to make far-reaching lifestyle and dietary changes. These changes require abundant leisure, a rare commodity in modern times. Most chronic patients are looking for relatively easy solutions.

I can't reduce my work hours.

Each type of therapy has a different mode of action and range of effects.

I settle for a dietary change without carbs and sugars.

I bike to work at least 4 times a week.

See my suggested, most suitable answer »

A more detailed explanation:

1. The most suitable answer is answer number 2.
Recovery from chronic diseases often requires simultaneous treatment of body, mind, and spirit. Caring for the body is divided into three main parts: change in diet and lifestyle, physical activity and movement, and mechanical detoxification. The complexity of the human body and immune system usually does not allow full recovery from chronic diseases through any single treatment but only in various combinations.
