All Rights Reserved. Page 7 www.timrobins.net What is this eBook going to do for me? This eBook is quite literally going to change your life. You are about to discover in minutes, what has taken me years of researching and testing. I am about to introduce you to cutting edge methods for strengthening your immune system and improving your health, many of which you have probably never heard of before. This book is meant to be used like a REFERENCE book, not a novel. The focus on each section is HOW to do the healing steps correctly. I have tried to keep background information about each method to a minimum in order to make the eBook as concise as possible. If you want to know more about the background of each method just click on the associated links that will take you to independent health websites. The Scope of this eBook Rather than write a huge all-encompassing compendium on health, detox or nutrition, this is a quick and focused „how to‟ guide that will assist you in taking action and getting good results as soon as possible. I have selected what I believe to be the core protocols (set of steps / guidelines) and core products needed to maximise your level of health. Every method and product listed here is of natural origin and safe for your body. There are no pharmaceutical drugs being recommended here, nor is there anything that only a doctor must prescribe. Instead, I am recommending natural non-toxic methods that work WITH your body, not against it. It is through these scientifically validated methods that I have seen some incredible healing transformations in hundreds of people. Health is something that we must continually support and nourish. Just like a physical building, health requires ongoing maintenance in order to last longer. Neglect supporting your body and it will break down. But Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 8 www.timrobins.net when you know HOW to support your body and mind, you can achieve shining physical health and a more peaceful mind without too much effort. So whether you are already very healthy and want to maintain so, or if you are very sick and want to get back to health… or if you are somewhere in between, these tools, steps and products will be of excellent value to you. How is this eBook structured? This eBook is divided into three main parts according to needs: Chapter 1 introduces key concepts to understanding health better Chapters 2, 3 & 4 focus on HOW TO cleanse and detox the body Chapters 5 and 7 focus on HOW TO nourish the body and mind Finally in Chapter 8 are my recommendations for some outstanding books, DVDs, audio and health/personal development websites. Are you ready? OK, let‟s begin… RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 9 www.timrobins.net Tim‟s Story Years ago I used to be afraid of sickness and disease. Like many people, I had witnessed my beloved relatives die from illnesses which I knew nothing about and it left me feeling fearful and helpless. I witnessed my much loved grandmother die from cancer and my grandfather from an inoperable ulceration of the stomach. I knew little about health then and I wasn‟t able to help them in the ways that I wished I could have. Years later I witnessed my brother battling a life threatening bacterial infection in a hospital. I remember seeing groups of learned doctors scratching their heads not knowing what to do in order to stop the antibiotic-resistant infection from spreading further. Again I felt frustrated, helpless and in disbelief that there seemed to be such limited options available to him in a world class hospital. I remember at the time how my gut feeling was telling me that there must be other methods that could heal him; but I had no idea what such a solution could be. Yet I somehow felt certain that nature must have a remedy for every illness. The deaths of my grandparents and near death of my brother sparked a passion in me. A passion to learn about the body, about disease and about the most effective ways of supporting the body‟s natural healing capabilities. Although I had thought this passion was a something new at the time, I now see that its roots had been laid down in earlier life experiences. When I first started school aged five, so my mum reminds me, I suddenly developed a nasty chest infection and ear ache. The family doctor prescribed two rounds of antibiotics, but a year later and the infection still kept returning. My mum, god bless her, saw that the antibiotics weren‟t working and decided to try a different route. She took me to a reflexologist and completely changed my diet to fruit and vegetables. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 10 www.timrobins.net After just a few days of fruits, vegetables and some reflexology the infection and earache vanished. From then on if any such aliments began to appear this was the first line of treatment and I never had to experience a chest infection again. At the age of 10 our family moved to a new area and I began to get a wheezy chest during the summer. The doctor said it was asthma and prescribed a Ventolin inhaler. Not accepting this diagnosis, my mum again took a different route and put me back on the fruit and vegetables, with some immune-boosting supplements and plenty of swimming. Within a few weeks, I was cycling to school regularly without any breathing problems at all. So from my earliest experiences I have seen firsthand how aliments and illnesses can be reversed through better diet and with some simple practical measures that support health. In many cases I have seen how a natural and supportive approach produces far better healing results than the medicines promoted by mainstream medicine. I haven‟t been in a hospital for any medical procedures since my birth. I haven‟t taken any antibiotics since I was 14 (I‟m now 33). Likewise I don‟t get flu, coughs, fever or any such illness. For years I had assumed this was normal; but I now see how unusual such a disease-free life is. In more recent years I have been captivated with testing advanced healing methods, many of which are unheard of by most people. These are the tools that I am so keen to share with you. They are safe, affordable and, most importantly, effective. These empowering steps will help you to be in the driving seat of your own health. There is no better way to inspire positive change in others than by first making positive changes in oneself. Are you feeling curious to know more? I hear a „YES‟, come on, let‟s go further… Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 11 www.timrobins.net Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Thinking Differently About Health Thinking Differently About Health “The superior doctor prevents sickness; The mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness; The inferior doctor treats actual sickness.” Chinese Proverb In this chapter you will learn: A useful analogy for health About toxicity and detoxification About deficiency and nutrition Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 12 www.timrobins.net What is health? A wise woman once explained health to me in a way I have never forgotten: she spoke of the four broad dimensions to health: physical health, mental health, emotional health and spiritual health, and how they can be compared to the tyres on a car. All four tyres need to be well maintained in order for the car to be stable. Unless all four dimensions of our health are equally supported, we experience an unstable journey through life and health suffers as a result. It is these four dimensions that make us uniquely human. Our physical body enables us to move around and interact with the physical world. Our mind enables us to reflect, consider and plan for a more prosperous and rewarding life. Our emotions enable us to feel and experience the richness of our relationship with our self, with others and with the world around us. Finally, our spiritual dimension enables us to experience meaning in our life, which can often lead to a deeply peaceful sense of connection between one‟s self and one‟s universe. Each of these four dimensions within us require proactive and ongoing support in order to function at their best. Knowing HOW to support each dimension is essential for living a happy and rewarding life. This eBook will provide you with some powerful methods for HOW to heal and strengthen your physical body. Towards the end of the eBook, I‟ll touch on some powerful tools for emotional and mental support, but 95% of this book is focused on how to supporting your physical health. Before we get into the „how to‟ part of this book (Chapter 2 onwards), I would first like to introduce you to two key concepts about health. Don‟t worry, it‟s not complex and it won‟t take long….. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 13 www.timrobins.net Key Concept 1 Supporting Health vs. Fighting Disease The first concept that I‟d like to share with you is simple in nature, but if you start to live by this it will make a profound improvement to your health and well being: Supporting your body‟s health is not the same thing as fighting disease in your body. Fighting against something that we don‟t want is not the same as supporting what we want more of. For example, fighting against persistent migraines with painkillers is not the same thing as feeding your body with the necessary nutrients so that the headaches disappear naturally (or never occur in the first place). The first method fights against something we don‟t want, the second approach remedies the problem by supporting the body with what it needs in order to be healthy. Another example could be fighting an infection with antibiotics rather than feeding your body with the necessary nutrients so that your immune system can heal the infection itself. The antibiotics often bring secondary harmful side effects, whereas supporting your immune system with increased nutrients can enable it to wipe out the infection without any side effects at all. A healthy immune system will also prevent most infections from occurring in the first place. One approach is fighting; the other approach is supporting and healing. The body hates to be fought against, but it responds very well to being supported and enabled to heal. Although the pain of recurring migraines or persistent infections may feel like our body is against us, I have come to realise that our bodies are not Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 14 www.timrobins.net against us; quite the opposite, our body wants the best for us and it wants to serve us well. But our body needs certain things in order for it to serve us well. Knowing what the body needs is one of the most empowering and useful things you can ever learn. In this book you are going to learn over thirty proven, effective and natural ways to rebuild and support your health. Applying these steps and over the coming months will enable you to create a powerful immune system that will keep you disease-free for years to come. Some immediate benefits of having a nourished and vibrant immune system are: greatly increased energy levels, younger-looking skin, better sleep, less physical aches and pains, a clearer and calmer mind, better memory, faster healing times, better moods in adults, better behaviour in children plus a more positive emotional outlook on life in general. Plus great health also makes you far more sexually attractive. More importantly, having a nourished body and healthy immune system is the greatest protection against the biggest killers of the western world: cardiovascular disease, heart attack, stroke, cancers, diabetes, obesity and respiratory diseases. As you will come to see, this is not opinion or hype, this is medical fact as demonstrated by over one hundred years of research into nutrition and its role in maintaining health. The Conventional Medical Approach It‟s worth mentioning here the approach to health found in this eBook is significantly different from the approach that conventional medicine takes. By „conventional medicine‟ I mean traditional western medicine as is taught in medical schools around the world. This is the type of medical training that your family doctor is probably most familiar with. This is the type of medicine that is practiced and applied in hospitals throughout the world. This type of medicine is more technically known as allopathic medicine. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 15 www.timrobins.net Merriam-Webster's Medical Dictionary defines allopathic medicine as, “a system of medical practice that aims to combat disease by use of remedies (such as drugs or surgery) producing effects different from or incompatible with those produced by the disease being treated.” In other words, allopathic medicine mainly focuses on discovering new chemicals and surgeries designed to fight the processes of disease. This approach does not focus on preventing disease; it focuses on fighting it once it has appeared. It waits for the disease to appear first and then it takes action. Don‟t you find that a rather backward or incomplete approach to health? This is similar to waiting until your car engine blows up before deciding to take it to the mechanics! Or comparable to waiting for a war to begin and then relying on the killing power of your weapons to win it, rather than focusing on building harmony and preventing a war from happening in the first place. Doctors and nurses are therefore very knowledgeable about how to identify and label diseases once they arise, but their focus is on treating them once they have occurred, not on how to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Yet this „fight the disease‟ approach hasn‟t produced good results in treating any of the biggest chronic (long lasting) diseases that most people are dying from. With all its billions of dollars worth of machines, medicines, vaccines, surgery, procedures and aftercare, allopathic medicine is currently unable to cure the major killers of our time: cardiovascular disease, cancers, diabetes or obesity. Don‟t you find that shocking? Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 16 www.timrobins.net The allopathic approach of fighting disease just isn‟t working. Back in 1971, some 40 years ago, President Nixon declared a „War on Cancer‟. Four decades and tens of billions of dollars later and there is still no sign of a cancer cure from a pill, vaccine, surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Likewise, the allopathic survival rates for most cancers are still as horrifyingly low as they were 40 years ago. Having witnessed the rapid physical and mental decline of a loved one as they go through such harsh interventions as chemotherapy or radiation treatment, many families are left questioning just how much of the decline was due to the cancer and how much was due to the barrage of toxic treatments that the were administered as a supposed remedy for the cancer. Could it be that this approach of fighting disease with toxic chemicals is missing something crucial to the reversal of disease? Pharmaceutical drug companies make their money by developing medications that can be patented and owned. Naturally occurring substances (such as minerals, vitamins and other organic matter) cannot be patented, so such substances are of little commercial interest. Yet ironically, it is these naturally occurring substances that tend to offer the most effective and safest remedies to disease. The pharmaceutical industry funds a large percentage of all the medical research that takes places worldwide and this research carries through into medical literature. It is this medical literature that doctors and nurses must study to obtain their medical degrees. As pharmaceutical companies make their money selling drugs, and not nutritional or lifestyle advice, you can guess what is taught in medical schools. Simply put, this is why most medical doctors understand little about the power of nutrition, detoxification or the impact of stress. Their medical school hardly mentioned these aspects of health, so asking their opinion on such topics often results in a less than enthusiastic response! Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 17 www.timrobins.net Why is it like this you ask? Well, you can most likely guess the answer. There just isn‟t much money to be made in educating people how to prevent diseases themselves through lifestyle and nutrition. It is far more profitable to wait for people to get sick and then sell them expensive drugs and surgery to help manage their disease. With such little interest in understanding the underlying causes of disease, it is little wonder that allopathic medicine has such a poor track record for reversing chronic diseases. That said, if your health is in a state of emergency allopathic medicine may be exactly what you need in order to save your life. After being hit by a car, suffering a heart attack or discovering you have a life threatening infection inside you, the procedures and medicines of the allopathic approach can be quite literally life saving. Allopathic medicine certainly has its place, but there are far more effective ways for preventing and reversing chronic diseases. In the western world it is chronic diseases, rather than acute (short lasting) disease, that most people are suffering and dying from. Chronic diseases include: Alzheimer's Arthritis Asthma Cancers Candida infestation Cardiac failure Cardiomyopathy Chronic infections Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME Coronary artery disease Crohn's disease Diabetes mellitus types 1 & 2 Eczema Epilepsy Hypertension Hypothyroidism Multiple sclerosis Obesity Parkinson's disease Rheumatoid arthritis Schizophrenia Systemic lupus erythematosus So lets now move on to learning more about how where disease comes from in the first place. By better understanding the causes of disease we will be far better able to prevent and reverse it. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 18 www.timrobins.net Supporting Health vs. Fighting Disease continued… Rats and Rubbish Another useful analogy for understanding the difference between fighting disease rather than supporting health is that of rats and rubbish (or „trash‟ if you are American/Canadian). When the rubbish men don‟t collect the rubbish, it builds up on the streets and soon enough rats will appear and start breeding around it. The rats are there as a result of the change in the environment (the rubbish) that has been allowed to develop. When there was no rubbish on the streets the rats were hardly noticeable, perhaps rarely seen at all. But as soon as the environment changed in favour of the rats (the rubbish started to build up) the rats soon arrived and began to thrive. Yet, clear the rubbish away and the rats lose their source of food and shelter. It doesn‟t take long before the rats disappear and seek out a more hospitable environment to live in. We can eliminate rats by keeping the streets clean, thereby making the conditions unfavourable for the rats. By maintaining clean streets we also prevent the rats from reappearing in the future. No toxic poisons were necessary to kill the rats, instead the conditions were changed and the rat infestation was eliminated naturally. Now let‟s transfer this rats and rubbish analogy to the human body. The „streets‟ are our tissues and organs, the „rats‟ are infectious microbes like cancer cells, bacteria, fungus, parasites and viruses. The „rubbish‟ that these microbes feed on consists of the junk foods and toxins that accumulate in the body over time. It suddenly makes sense why we get sick – our internal „streets‟ are dirty, congested and toxic. They make the Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 19 www.timrobins.net ideal breeding grounds for microbes to set up shop and spread. The more they breed the more harm they do and the sicker we become. Our blood and organs become dirty and congested when we eat a diet which is low in essential nutrients, add into the mix daily mental and emotional stress and there is a recipe for an environment in which disease and illness can spread. Often, when someone is very sick they go to the hospital where they are prescribed strong medications and invasive procedures which violently „purge the streets of the rats‟. These methods often do work to remove most of the rats; but not all. Yet by failing to address the underlying environment which allowed the rats to appear in the first place, recolonisation will almost certainly reoccur, it‟s just a matter of time Allopathic medicine can be excellent when an emergency intervention is needed, it clearly saves millions of lives per year around the world, but such forceful methods are best to be minimised whenever possible. The long term side effects of drugs often outweigh their short term benefit. Clearly, fighting chronic disease with chemical drugs and invasive procedures is largely an ineffective way to be healthy for the long term. We are more likely to be healthy by doing things that support health, rather than by fighting the diseases that we don‟t want. Health can only be developed and strengthened by taking steps that support health. With the hundreds of different diseases in the world today, would it surprise you to learn that there are just two underlying factors to ALL diseases? With regards to your own health and the health of your loved ones, knowing what these two factors are could be the single most important health discovery you have ever made. Want to know more? It‟s time for Key Concept 2: Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 20 www.timrobins.net Key Concept 2 Toxicity And Deficiency Are The Underlying Cause Of All Disease The great German physician Dr Max Gerson was well documented for reversing many so-called „incurable diseases‟ in his patients, including hundreds of advanced cancers, through a combination of detoxification and nutrition alone. Dr Gerson achieved these seemingly miraculous healing results without using any pharmaceutical drugs, surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Oh, and somewhat surprisingly, he was curing cancers and other such diseases over 50 years ago! (For more information about Dr Gerson, his work and his healing program you can find multiple recommendations in Chapter 8.) Dr Gerson believed that all disease is a result of just two underlying factors: toxicity and deficiency 1. The remedy for toxicity is detoxification 2. The remedy for deficiency is better nutrition This eBook will provide you with proven, affordable and safe methods for detoxifying harmful chemicals and pathogens from your body and then highlight some of the most beneficial nutrients for you to put into your body. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 21 www.timrobins.net Toxicity A toxin is something that is life-harming. Technically, a toxin is a poisonous substance produced by organisms such as bacteria, fungus, yeast, viruses or parasites. But in this context I will also extend the definition to include manmade poisonous chemicals (technically known as „toxicants‟ or „poisons‟) such as heavy metals (e.g. lead, mercury, arsenic etc), chemicals (such as cleaning chemicals and petro-chemical products), gases (such as carbon monoxide) and radioactive materials (such as uranium). Toxins come from many everyday sources such as: aluminium cookware amalgam fillings factory fumes drinks and foods packaged in plastics drinking water (unfiltered) food additives and preservatives foods heated in a microwave household cleaning products pesticides/herbicides (sprayed on crops and around your home) pesticides sprayed in and around houses seafood (heavy metals) toiletries vaccines vehicle exhaust emissions Yet surprisingly, the topic of toxicity, or toxicology as it is known, is not routinely taught in most allopathic medical schools. Research has shown that doctors in the US and Canada receive an average of just 5-6 hours study on toxicology over the average 7 years of medical training! Doctors who are prescribing toxic drugs are not being taught much about the dangers of toxicity to the body! Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 22 www.timrobins.net Test this out for yourself; try asking your doctor about sources of toxicity, such as heavy metals, and their specific effects on your health. He/she most likely won‟t have a detailed answer for you. When the body is slowly poisoned by an ever increasing level of chemical pollutants it affects hundreds of intricate bio-chemical processes in your tissues and cells which collectively compromise the immune system. Toxicity is a slow and often undetected way that we are being poisoned by the pollutants around us and gathering inside us. Gradually, and sometimes rapidly, our immune system becomes less able to function efficiently and pathogens begin to take root. Bacteria, fungus, yeasts, viruses and parasites are able to grow and spread without much of a battle from the tired and weakened immune system. These pathogens in turn manufacture and spread their own toxins throughout our blood and tissues. This leaves the person feeling increasingly weaker and weaker, becoming ever sicker. This is the essence of the disease process. This is also what many people mistakenly call „growing old‟! Getting too old, or getting too toxic? Here‟s a thought…. what if the process we normally call „aging‟ isn‟t so much to do with how many years you have been alive, but instead is more to do with how toxic your body is? As people age the skin wrinkles, aches and pains increase, energy levels decrease, cognitive function decreases (you lose your brain power), „aging spots‟ form on the skin and the body becomes more susceptible to disease. Is this because we are growing old, or is this because we are becoming increasingly more toxic every day we are alive? Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 23 www.timrobins.net Most nutritionists and holistic medical practitioners are in no doubt that what most people think is „just getting old‟ is actually the process of us getting more polluted and our cells decaying at an accelerated rate as a result or toxicity (both physical and mental/emotional toxicity). How can this be proven? Simple, just detoxify the body of burdening toxins and watch the years come off in just a few weeks. Energy levels return, libido increases, the skin starts to glow and feel firmer, aches and pains vanish, memory improves, a new passion for living life often appears and falling sick becomes an uncommon event. The sad fact is that our world is now so polluted that avoiding toxicity is not an option, regardless of where you live or how healthy your lifestyle. Toxicity is one of the two main components all disease. Here are just a few symptoms of toxicity, see how many you can find in yourself: aches & pains ADD/ADHD addiction allergies anxiety asthma bad breath bad memory bad skin depression digestion issues fatigue high blood pressure inflammation irritability learning difficulties low energy migraines night sweats poor eyesight poor sleep recurring infections sensitivities slow healing tinnitus water retention weight issues If we don‟t take action to remove these toxins periodically the overall impact can often lead to the formation of more serious life-threatening diseases such as: cardiovascular disease, cancers, respiratory infections, epilepsy, arthritis, Alzheimer‟s, Parkinson‟s, autism, Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME and type-II diabetes to name just a few. So toxicity is clearly something to be taken extremely seriously, it is quite literally a life or death issue. The remedy to toxicity is detoxification. Knowing HOW to detoxify your body safely is truly life saving information and a KEY FACTOR in preventing and reversing serious diseases. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 24 www.timrobins.net Deficiency The second part of what Dr Max Gerson attributed to the cause of all disease is DEFICIENCY. Deficiency means to lack or to not have enough of something. Living in the 21st Century most people are dangerously deficient in the nutrients that are essential for a healthy functioning body and brain. Although most people in the western world are eating more than ever before, ironically they are at the same time becoming increasingly deficient in life-giving nutrients. Deficiency arises when we don‟t eat nutritionally dense foods, or if we are so toxic inside that the majority of nutrients consumed are used up in counterbalancing the harmful effects of the toxins, thereby not leaving enough nutrients for our system to function optimally. A major factor in the body‟s internal deficiency comes from the external deficiency of nutrients in the depleted farmland in which our crops are grown. Surprisingly, obesity is also a sign of chronic deficiency. Although obese people clearly eat plenty of food, the nutritional content of their diet is typically very depleted. Correctly supplementing your nutrient intake is a core part of shedding excess fat and returning your body to a state of slimness and health. Not only are our foods now hugely lacking in essential minerals, vitamins and nutrients, but our habits have also accelerated the rate at which our body uses up the few remaining nutrients we have in our body. Alcohol, for example, depletes vitamins such as B5, B6, B9 and B12. It also depletes essential electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. If you Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 25 www.timrobins.net drink alcohol regularly but aren‟t putting nutrients back in regularly, it‟s very likely you are deficient of these nutrients. Or, for example, if you are deficient in magnesium (as research shows most people are) you will more often get migraines, headaches, cramps, spasms or „restless legs‟ at night. Without this essential mineral your heart will be under increased stress and your blood pressure will become elevated as a result. Research also shows that a long term magnesium deficiency leads to massively elevated rates of cardiovascular disease, heart attack or stroke. By feeding your body regularly with the nutrients it needs you can slow down, and even reverse, the aging process. Your skin will look and feel better, your mind will be clearer, your memory better, you will balance your weight more easily, your mood will improve and your energy levels will sky rocket. In other words the quality of your day to day life will be much happier and more enjoyable. The correct way to reverse disease and sickness is by removing harmful toxins, whilst providing the nutrients in which the body is deficient. In essence it‟s that simple. In providing nutrition to the body we enable the body to not only reverse the symptoms of disease, but to also prevent such diseases from so easily occurring in the future. It‟s a win-win result. It just takes a little daily effort on your behalf. All you need to know is WHAT nutrients your body needs and HOW you can get them into your body as easily, affordably and pleasantly as possible. Now we move onto the heart of this eBook – the HOW TO chapters, in which you will learn HOW TO detoxify the toxins and replenish your body with nutrients. Each recommended item begins with a „Quickview‟ Q & A page to help you get a broad understanding as quickly as possible. RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved.

[for links with cancer]” From: The President‟s Cancer Panel Meeting Summary, 2008 In this chapter you will learn about: Proper hydration Pulling toxins out for pennies a day Cleansing the colon and liver Flushing the liver Intestinal cleansing Heavy metal detoxification Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 27 www.timrobins.net First of all, take a deep breath and relax…none of this is going to be painful or scary, trust me, I‟m not a doctor! For many people just the mention of removing toxins can sound daunting or extreme, but like many things in life, when you actually try it for yourself, it really isn‟t that scary at all. In fact, it becomes fun and very rewarding. I feel fantastic after doing any of the detox methods listed below. Each method makes a noticeable difference to my energy levels and my overall feelings of well-being. Having done all of these steps for years to support my own health, I have discovered a great relationship between me and my system: the more I invest into my body and mind, the more my body and mind support me through the ups and downs of life. Are you ready to learn these powerful steps for yourself? OK, let‟s begin! Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 28 www.timrobins.net Pure Water Pure Water – Hydrating For Health Quickview Why should I do this: because without water no cell in your body can function properly. The blood turns sticky, inhibiting the immune system from functioning effectively and causing organs to dysfunction, thereby allowing disease to spread. What are the benefits: clearer and calmer mind, better memory, more energy, better digestion, younger skin, weight loss, increased ability to handle stress, to name just a few! What conditions can this help: relieves neck and back pain, headaches, migraines, constipation, bad skin, weight issues. Studies show increased hydration significantly reduces the risk of breast cancers, bladder cancers and colon cancer! See here for more details. What is it: pure filtered water What do I need: a water filter and a non-toxic water container (see below) How does it work: hydration is an essential part of every cellular function in the body, without enough of it everything stops working well How long will this take: seconds, just fill the glass or bottle and drink How often should I do this: every day of your life When should I do this: start with a large glass upon waking and then another large glass every 90 minutes or so throughout your day How much should I drink: aim for 1 fl. oz/ 30ml for every 2lbs/0.9kg of body weight. This equates to around 2.3 litres per day for a 155lbs/70kg person. Further information: video interview with health practitioner Andreas Moritz (10 minutes) Where can I get this: filters and bottles from amazon.com, ebay.com, specialist websites, shops Cost: Low to medium, depending on the quality of the water filter you buy Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 29 www.timrobins.net About Drinking Water You have probably heard it many times before „we don‟t drink enough water‟ and it‟s true. Without enough water our blood dries up and turns to a consistency more like ketchup. Red blood cells can‟t carry the oxygen and nutrients as easily, white blood cells can‟t get about to destroy invading microbes and toxins can‟t be easily flushed out. Sticky dehydrated blood is the perfect „fertile soil‟ in which disease spreading microbes will appear and spread. So let‟s find a practical solution to help you have good quality water on hand throughout the day. It requires just 2 things – a good quality water filter and a non-toxic water container to keep it in. Firstly, forget drinking tap water. If you didn‟t know already, all tap water contains toxic pollutants such as chlorine, fluoride, sediments, heavy metals, chemical compounds, residue from the tonnes of pharmaceutical drugs flushed down toilets every year, cysts and infectious microbes. In short, tap water is typically dangerous to drink and can cause the body a host of complications such as hormone imbalance, migraines and skin disorders. Here is a study from the International Journal of Cancer, showing how ingesting chemicals found in tap water have been attributed to a 50% INCREASE in bladder cancer! Here are two brief videos for further information about what is in tap water and why drinking it should be avoided: Video - Dr Joseph Mercola - The dangers of tap water (7½ minutes) Video - Dr Mercola & Dr Robert Slovak - chemicals in tap water (7 ½ minutes) Pre-bottled water is not much better either, as most plastics leach (leak out into the water or food contained in them). Many plastics contain chemicals such as BPA which mimic human hormones causing issues Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 30 www.timrobins.net such as structural damage to the brain, hyperactivity, abnormal sexual behaviour, increased fat formation, early puberty and disrupted reproductive cycles. See here for more info: Scientists Warn of Dangerous Chemicals in Water Both tap water and bottled water frequently contain fluoride. The addition of this toxic chemical to our drinking water has caused much controversy around the world. I encourage you to learn more about this by watching this free 5 part interview: Video - The Fluoride Deception, with Christopher Bryson ( 28 minutes) Video - Dr. Mercola & Dr. Paul Connett - the dangers of fluoride in water (43 minutes divided into 5 segments on Youtube.com) The Declining Thirst Signal Scientific studies show that the older we get the more dehydrated our body becomes. When children are thirsty they instantly announce it and adults provide liquids for them. But as we age we push aside nature‟s callings for hydration because we are busy with other things. After enough years of delaying our response to the call of dehydration this „thirst mechanism‟ begins to break down. By the time we are in our thirties this mechanism is already greatly reduced and by the time we are in our forties and fifties the thirst mechanism can be virtually undetectable. In other words, as an adult we typically don‟t even know when our body is thirsty and in need of water. The way to remedy this, and the way to reactivate your natural thirst signal mechanism, is to start drinking 2-3 litres of water every day. Start with a large glass first thing in the morning upon waking and continue to have a glass at least every 90 minutes throughout the day until you go to bed. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 31 www.timrobins.net The 90 Minute Alarm You will benefit greatly from setting an alarm to go off every 90 minutes to help remind you to reach for the glass and drink it. Depending on your preference use a watch alarm, mobile phone alarm or create a repeating reminder which pops up on your computer. Which ever way, you need to retrain your mind to remember to drink water at least every 90 minutes. If you have a tendency to get out of bed to pee in the middle of the night, it may be wise to stop drinking water by 8pm. However, there is an exception to this guideline: do your best to minimise fluid intake during mealtimes to just 1 glass. It is best to drink a glass of water 15-20 minutes BEFORE your meal, and then 1 hour AFTER your meal. Drinking too much liquid with meals tends to dilute the stomach acids, thereby inhibiting the digestion process. Which filter should I buy? Here are a few filters that I recommend: UK/Europe Budget – Mid range – Mid range – Entire home – The Aqua Optima Filter Jug Under-sink Water Filter The FW1000 Under Sink Filter The Aquasana Rhino USA/Canada Budget – Mid range – Mid range – Entire home – The PUR DS-1800Z 2-Stage Water Dispenser Watts 3 Stage Undercounter Filter with UV The Berkey Light The Aquasana Rhino Tips: Buy a water filter and leave it in the kitchen at your workplace. You‟ll then have access to all the fresh water your body needs throughout your working day. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 32 www.timrobins.net The Best Ways To Carry Your Pure Water Choose glass, stainless steel or other specifically non-toxic water containers whenever possible. Avoid plastic water bottles, even the ones that are supposedly BPA free and water friendly. Every water bottle I have ever sniffed has given off chemical type odours. Don‟t take the risk of drinking from plastic - we do enough of that already. Make sure your personal daily water bottle is plastic free. I recommend buying a dedicated water container as it not only reduces the chemicals entering your system each day, it is also a lot kinder to the environment by reducing the volume of plastic bottle waste. Where to find a non-toxic water bottle Sigg Water Bottles: www.sigg.com Sigg water bottles can also be found on ebay.com and amazon.com Or try searching „stainless steel water bottles‟ Sigg‟s 1.5 litre water bottle Tips: Some water researchers have highlighted potential health risks with drinking water from a „reverse osmosis‟ filtration system. Personally I choose to avoid such systems and stick with traditional multistage filtration systems instead, such as the ones listed here. See here for more info on the Dangers of Reverse Osmosis Water My recommendation: buy a large Sigg Water Bottle, fill it each morning with water from your filter and take it to work with you. See if you can finish it by the end of the working day. Job done!

If done regularly oil pulling has been shown to help reverse a number of serious diseases What conditions can this help: Headaches, bad breath, dry mouth, gum disease, skin disorders, reverse the symptoms of cancers, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and fibromyalgia/auto-immune diseases What is it: Oil pulling is a simple and inexpensive way of pulling toxins and bacteria from the mouth using sunflower or cold pressed sesame oil What do I need: Sunflower oil or cold-pressed sesame oil (not toasted) How does it work: The oil breaks down and binds with toxic chemicals and bacteria which are then spat out How long will this take: Ten minutes twice a day How often should I do this: Every morning and evening When should I do this: Build this into your daily routine, possibly while showering to save time What evidence is there: www.oilpulling.org/oil-pulling/ www.mayoclinic.com/health/dental/DE00001 Cautions: Just make sure you don‟t accidently swallow the oil at the end of oil pulling, make sure you spit it out Where can I get this: Local supermarket or online Cost: Low. Just the price of a bottle of oil Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 34 www.timrobins.net About Oil Pulling Are you ready for some truly amazing information? Did you know that there is a proven, safe, inexpensive and highly effective method for reversing or improving a wide range of conditions including things such as acne, organ disorders, auto-immune diseases, menstruation problems, fever, certain forms of paralysis and serious chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes! What do you need?......just sunflower oil or cold pressed sesame seed oil. Known as „oil pulling‟ this simple technique can be traced back to before the 2nd – 3rd century BC through the Indian tradition of healing known as Ayurveda. In recent times the powers of oil pulling have been well documented by Dr F Karsch MD. Dr Karsch has revived and promoted this simple method of healing through detoxification using household oils. By moving such oils around the mouth for 10 minutes or so the oil gradually breaks down as it absorbs toxins and harmful micro-organisms (bacteria, parasites etc). Once the oil has turned to the same consistency as water you SPIT IT OUT and then brush your teeth with toothpaste as you would normally. Research shows this oil pulling is also effective at reducing plaque and the symptoms of gingivitis (bleeding gums). Oil pulling is also reported to have helped people reverse serious diseases and infections. People have reported positive results on wide range of conditions such as bad breath, eczema, back pain, lowering high blood pressure and relieving constipation. You may find all this hard to believe, but for the price of a bottle of one of these oils, what have you got to lose? Go on, give it a try every morning and evening for two weeks and then pass judgement. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 35 www.timrobins.net Benefits of Oil Pulling When I first heard that the state of your teeth and mouth is directly related to your overall health I initially found it hard to believe. I couldn‟t see how teeth and gums could have any connection with, for example, the heart or the lungs. Traditional Chinese Medicine has long recognised the direct links between the mouth and the organs of the body. See a video here: Video - How Tooth Decay Affects The Entire Body Video (2 mins) It has taken conventional medicine longer to recognise such links. A 2009 consensus paper on the relationship between gum disease and heart disease was published concurrently in the online versions of two leading publications, the American Journal of Cardiology and the Journal of Periodontology. It states that periodontitis (a bacterially induced, localized, chronic inflammatory disease, that destroys connective tissue and bone that support the teeth) affects 30% to 50% of all Americans. Research has shown similarities between the bacteria found in the mouth and those found in coronary plaques. This bacteria appears to significantly contribute to narrowing of the arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis) which often leads to heart attack and stoke. Both gum disease and coronary heart disease are characterised by an imbalanced immune reaction and chronic inflammation. So the more bacteria and viruses you have in your mouth, the more they get passed down into your blood where they will cause inflammation, infection and illness throughout the body. Regular brushing and flossing, while helpful to some degree, tend to just push these pathogens around the mouth rather than actually removing them. Oil pulling, however, is a safe, non-toxic, affordable and effective way of actually removing pathogens and harmful toxins from the mouth, thereby preventing and reversing such diseases. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 36 www.timrobins.net How to do Oil Pulling 1. Choose either sunflower or cold pressed sesame seed oil 2. Olive oil tends to be too thick to move around the mouth easily 3. Take 1-2 tablespoons (depending on which feels the right amount for swishing around your mouth) and hold it in your mouth 4. Start to move the oil around as vigorously as you can. Move the oil all around the mouth, moving it through the gaps between the teeth and under the tongue etc. It‟s quite a work out for your tongue and cheeks, so you may need to take breaks for short periods during the process. But keep the oil in your mouth throughout. 5. Keep moving the oil around until you feel it break down and become more like the consistency of water. 6. Normally this takes around 10 minutes of swishing, depending on how toxic your mouth is. The more toxins there are in the mouth the faster the oil breaks down. 7. Once totally broken down and feeling just like you are swishing with water, spit the oil out. Do not swallow any of that oil - it‟s full of microbes and toxins! 8. Brush your teeth as normal 9. Do this each morning and evening for best results.

Page 37 www.timrobins.net Coffee Enemas The Liver and Colon Cleanser Coffee Enemas – The Liver and Colon Cleanser Quickview Why should I do this: To support a liver overburdened by alcohol, tea and coffee, fats, drugs and a colon overburdened by undigested food What are the benefits: Improved liver function, improved colon function, lower toxicity levels in the liver and colon, improved blood quality, improved cognitive function, increased immune response function What conditions can this help: Liver toxicity, constipation, headaches, skin conditions, hangovers and it provides good general system detoxification What is it: Cool coffee is fed by gravity into the rectum through a small soft tube attached to an enema bag. This is an effective and affordable way to gently cleanse the liver and colon What do I need: Organic coffee, filtered or distilled water, a cooking pan, an enema bag kit, a towel, a cushion or pillow, a clock and a magazine/book to read How does it work: The caffeine stimulates the liver to release fatty deposits and toxins into the sigmoid colon ready for elimination. How long will this take: 40 minutes or less How often should I do this: For maintenance 1-3 times per week, as part of a cleanse or treatment of an illness see a coffee enema protocol FAQ here When should I do this: In the morning at a time when you can relax Any side effects: You may get a slight buzz from the caffeine Cautions: not advisable if you suffer from adrenal fatigue or exhaustion, better to do just pure distilled/pre-boiled water enemas instead. Where can I get this: Enema kit online, organic coffee in supermarket Cost: Low. Just the price of coffee & one time purchase of enema kit Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 38 www.timrobins.net About Coffee Enemas OK, coffee enemas……..so let me guess what you are already thinking…… “No way in hell!” Am I right? Well, I understand where you are coming from, the idea of sticking something where the sun doesn‟t shine is not the most comforting of thoughts! However, I can honestly say that of the hundreds of people that I have encouraged to try doing a coffee enema, I have never heard a single person tell me that they hated it or that they‟ll never do one again. In fact, quite the opposite! Everyone that I have ever introduced coffee enemas to (including my friends and family) have continued to do them without any further encouragement! Why? Because contrary to what your mind might imagine, coffee enemas are simple, not messy, not smelly, not painful, not embarrassing (as you do it by yourself), they have noticeable health results and they happen to make you feel GREAT! The cool coffee is put into the colon using an enema bag (see photo). The caffeine finds its way to the liver through the hepatic ducts, there it stimulates the liver and the gallbladder. This stimulates bile production which in turn helps to flush the liver out. Cholesterol deposits, chemical toxins and microbes are then flushed out into the sigmoid colon and expelled.

Page 39 www.timrobins.net How to do a coffee enema What you need: Must be organic coffee, powered or instant, but only organic Saucepan (or a percolator may be used) Fine sieve / coffee strainer Distilled or filtered water An enema bag kit Lubricant gel – may come with kit or you can use sunflower/coconut/olive oil, baby oil, Vaseline, ozonated olive oil Clock An old towel to lie down on and cushion for comfort A magazine or book to read for entertainment Directions: 1. Measure 1.5 litres / 6 cups of distilled or filtered water 2. Pour out and heat 500ml / 2 cups of distilled or filtered water in a saucepan. 3. Once boiling, lower the heat and add 2 table spoons of organic coffee power. Stir gently. 4. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes. 5. Filter the coffee, through a filter or sieve, into a jug 6. Add remainder of room temperature water to the coffee in the jug 7. You will now have around 1.5 litres of cool coffee. Allow extra time to cool further if required. 8. Take the jug to your bathroom and lay out the old towel on the floor. 9. Take out the enema bag and make sure the clip is tight on the pipe preventing any liquid from passing through. 10. Pour the coffee into the enema bag. Hang the bag on the door handle or anything else around 3 – 4 feet /1 meter off the ground. You don‟t want it too high as this increases the speed that the coffee comes out. Slower is better. 11. Lie down on your side, remove the tip cap from the enema tube, lubricate 10cm/4 inches of the end of the tube with oil/gel. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 40 www.timrobins.net 12. Insert the tube slowly into your rectum. Once in release the flow clip and watch the level of the coffee in the bag slowly go down. 13. Adjust flow to a comfortable level so that you do not feel internal discomfort. Slow may be easier to take/more comfortable 14. Allow in 1-2 cups to begin with and then clip the tube so the flow stops. Gently remove the tube and lie it down somewhere clean (don‟t let it touch the floor as it may pick up harmful microbes). 15. Lie back and relax. Read a book or magazine to help pass the time. Once you feel an urge or cramping sensation get to the toilet and expel everything into the toilet. 16. Aim to hold it for 10-12 minutes at a time, then expel into the toilet 17. Once you have eliminated this first 1 or 2 cups, take another 2 cups. This time the cramping/spasm sensation will take longer to happen as the body is already used to the caffeine. Don‟t force yourself too much. Go gently and allow yourself to hold it each time for a comfortable period and then expel into the toilet. 18. You can try lying on your left side for the first time and then on your right side for another. You may notice different results or sensations by altering which side you lie on. 19. Listen closely for a squelching sound coming from your mid right side, this is bile being released from the gallbladder. This is a sign that you are complete, (although you may not hear it every time). 20. Once you have used and expelled the entire contents of the enema bag simply run clean tap water through the bag and tube to clean it out, wash everything and leave it somewhere airy to dry. 21. For extra hygiene spray the inside of the enema bag and the tip of the tube with 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or Colloidal Silver. Tips Ideally do a coffee enema in the morning, before breakfast Avoid coffee enemas in the evening or after meals Avoid instant coffee brands as many contain hidden additives, preservatives and other chemicals. Go for organic coffee only. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 41 www.timrobins.net Liver/Gallbladder Flush Deeper Cleansing For Your Liver Liver/Gallbladder Flush – Deeper Cleansing For Your Liver Quickview Why should I do this: because the liver is the body‟s main filter, it‟s been working hard for you for decades and it needs a good clean! What are the benefits: improved liver function, more energy, reduction/elimination of allergies (if repeated enough), better skin, stronger immune system, reduced risk of chronic disease What conditions can this help: gallbladder stones, liver pain, gallstone attack pain, lower back pain, migraines, allergies, skin conditions, brain fog What is it: a safe method for flushing out fatty deposits that accumulate over time in and around the liver, gallbladder and interconnecting ducts What do I need: Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate), extra virgin olive oil and citrus juice (lemon or grapefruit) How does it work: the Epsom salts open up the elimination channels, while the olive oil and citrus juice cause a flushing reaction in the liver, this flushes out stones and fatty deposits into the colon for elimination. When should I do this: to treat liver toxicity issues or as part of a regular preventative cleanse. How long will this take: about 24 hours, choose a day prior to a day off work. How often should I do this: at least once a year, but more if you are dealing with a persistent illness. Many people do 4-10 flushes over 4 months for superior results. Cautions: stick to the measurements & times in order to prevent queasiness Where can I get this: Epsom salts from a chemist/drug store, olive oil & citrus from supermarket or online such as www.ebay.com Cost: Low, typically all 3 ingredients can be purchased for under $20 Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 42 www.timrobins.net About Liver/Gallbladder Flushes OK, how are you doing so far? Enjoying the journey? I hope so. Now we come to a more deeply cleansing detox method well known for its ability to flush all sorts of deposits including calcified stones from the gallbladder, hepatic ducts and liver. It takes just an afternoon, that evening and the following morning to do. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body. Like the brain, we simply cannot live without one and there is currently no way to compensate for the absence of a liver in your body. Without any liver function our lifespan would be reduced to less than 24 hours! So it makes good sense to take care of the liver your have inside you right now! The liver is responsible for many crucial processes including the processing of fats, sugars and cholesterol. The liver also helps to regulate hormones. The liver‟s other main function is to filter out toxins that find their way into our systems (which is primarily through what we eat, drink and absorb through our skin every day). Yet, after years of consuming thousands of meals and drinks, fatty deposits start to accumulate in the biliary tubing that connects the gallbladder and liver. These deposits grow larger with mineral deposits and over time form into pea sized stones. These stones are often soft and squidgy if touched, but if left long enough they can actually calcify and become as hard as stones! As the stones grow and become more numerous, the back pressure on the liver causes it to make less bile. It is also thought to slow the flow of lymphatic fluid. Imagine the situation if your garden hose had marbles in it. Much less water would flow, which in turn would decrease the ability of the hose to squirt out the marbles. With gallstones, much less cholesterol leaves the body and cholesterol levels may rise. Gallstones, being porous, can pick up all the bacteria, Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 43 www.timrobins.net cysts, viruses and parasites that are passing through the liver. In this way "nests" of infection are formed, forever supplying the body with fresh bacteria and parasite stages. The gallbladder is there to produce bile which is a key part of food digestion. Although the liver does produce bile by itself, the amount is far less once the gallbladder is removed. This results in poorer food digestion, which in turn results in faster weight gain. You can read here about people who have battled with controlling their weight ever since having their gallbladder removed: www.gallbladderattack.com/gallbladdersurgery.shtml www.steadyhealth.com/Weight_gain_after_gallbladder_surgery_t87221.html Most people start to feel pain in their gallbladder as the stones accumulate and push against the organs, often blocking the flow of bile and other juices. So surgery is often recommended as a „cure‟ to the pain. Yet according to a study published in The British Journal of General Practice 2004;54:574-79, it was found that having the gallbladder surgically removed (cholecystectomy) does not always relieve upper abdominal pain even in those with proven gall stones. It was this very flush that saved a family friend from having to have her gallbladder removed a few years ago. I remember hearing her telling me on the phone in an upbeat manner that the doctor had recommended she have her gallbladder removed as ultrasonic scans showed it was filled with stones. I was quick to point out to her that many people who have had their gallbladder removed report serious challenges in being able to control their weight afterwards (due to the massive reduction in bile production). After some further explanation and encouragement she went on to do the very liver/gallbladder flush recommended here, and the following morning she passed out several dozen green pea sized stones into the toilet bowl. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 44 www.timrobins.net As this was her first of any such detoxing the flush did leave her washed out for several days, and usually this would not be the best method to begin detoxing with, but in this instance time was in short supply. Nevertheless, she went to the hospital the following week for a presurgery check up. The doctor examined her with the ultrasound device, but he couldn‟t find enough stones to warrant surgery and the procedure was cancelled. As a result she still has her gallbladder. So rather than having your gallbladder removed (see photos here) it makes much more sense to flush it out so that it can, with time, get rid of the accumulating stones and repair its proper function. Your doctor may insist that it needs to be removed, but it makes good sense to try all noninvasive methods first. Here are some photos of stones that I passed out after a single liver flush that I did recently: Videos about the Liver and Liver Flushing Video - The liver's functions and why it is essential for good health Video - Gallstones, bile, enzymes and better health through liver flush Video - Overview of how to do a liver flush Video - Detoxing the liver to help reverse obesity Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 45 www.timrobins.net How to do a Liver/Gallbladder flush What you need: Extra virgin olive oil Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) 4 lemons or 2 large grapefruits A cheap plastic sieve (if you want to catch what comes out of you for a closer inspection!) Sufficient food for a totally non-fat, oil-free breakfast and lunch Hydrogen peroxide (3% strength) or colloidal silver solution (used to sterilize the enema bag after use) Directions: (from www.curezone.com) Choose a day like Saturday for the cleanse, since you will be able to rest the next day. Take no medicines, vitamins or pills that you can do without. They could prevent success. Stop any anti-parasite program and kidney herbs, too, the day before. Eat a no-fat breakfast and lunch such as cooked cereal, fruit, fruit juice, bread and preserves or honey (no butter or milk). This allows the bile to build up and develop pressure in the liver. Higher pressure pushes out more stones. 2:00 PM. Do not eat or drink after 2 o'clock. If you break this rule you could feel quite ill later. Measure 4 tablespoons (tbs) of Epsom salts and add to a jug or jar. Then add 4 cups of water to the jar. This makes four servings. Set the jar in the refrigerator to get ice cold (this is for convenience and taste only, the colder it is the less bitter it tastes). 6:00 PM. Drink one serving (1 cup) of the ice cold Epsom salts. If you did not prepare this ahead of time, mix 1 tbs. 1 of cup water now. You may also drink a few mouthfuls of filtered water afterwards or rinse your mouth. Get the olive oil and grapefruit out to warm up. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 46 www.timrobins.net 8:00 PM. Repeat by drinking another cup of Epsom salts. You haven't eaten since two o'clock, but you won't feel hungry. Get your bedtime chores done. The timing is critical for success. 9:45 PM. Pour 1/2 cup/120ml (measured) olive oil into a new glass. Wash grapefruit/lemons twice in hot water and dry; squeeze by hand into the measuring cup. Remove pulp with fork. You should have at least 1/2 cup/120ml, but up to 3/4 cup/180ml is best. Add this to the olive oil. Close the jar tightly with the lid and shake hard until watery (only fresh grapefruit juice does this). Now visit the bathroom one or more time, even if it makes you late for your ten o'clock drink. Brush your teeth and get ready for bed etc. Don't be more than 15 minutes late. You will get fewer stones. 10:00 PM. Drink the potion you have mixed. Drinking through a large plastic straw helps it go down easier. You may use oil and vinegar salad dressing, or straight honey to chase it down between sips. Have these ready in a tablespoon on the kitchen counter. Take it all to your bedside if you want, but drink it standing up. Get it down within 5 minutes (fifteen minutes for very elderly or weak persons). Lie down immediately. You might fail to get stones out if you don't. The sooner you lie down the more stones you will get out. Be ready for bed ahead of time. Don't clean up the kitchen. As soon as the drink is down walk to your bed and lie down flat on your back with your head up high on the pillow. Try to think about what is happening in the liver. Try to keep perfectly still for at least 20 minutes. You may feel a trail of stones travelling along the bile ducts like marbles. There is no pain because the bile duct valves are open (thank you Epsom salts!). Go to sleep, you may fail to get stones out if you don't. Next morning. Aim to wake up around 7am. Upon awakening take your third dose (1 cup) of Epsom salts. If you have indigestion or nausea wait Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 47 www.timrobins.net until it is gone before drinking the Epsom salts. You may go back to bed. Don't take this potion before 6:00 am. 2 Hours Later. Take your fourth (the last) dose of Epsom salts. You may go back to bed again. After 2 More Hours you may eat. Start with fruit juice. Half an hour later eat fruit. One hour later you may eat some non-fatty/oily foods but keep it light. By supper you should feel recovered. After The Liver Flush How well did you do? Expect diarrhoea in the morning. If you decided to use a sieve to catch the stones use a torch/flashlight to inspect them more closely. Look for the green kind since this is proof that they are genuine gallstones, not food residue. Only bile from the liver is pea green. The bowel movement sinks but gallstones float because of the cholesterol inside. Count them all roughly, whether tan or green. You will need to total 2000 stones before the liver is clean enough to rid you of allergies or bursitis or upper back pains permanently. You may repeat cleanses at two week intervals. Never cleanse when you are (acutely) ill. Sometimes the bile ducts are full of cholesterol crystals that did not form into round stones. They appear as„chaff‟ floating on top of the toilet bowl water. It may be tan coloured, harbouring millions of tiny white crystals. Cleansing this chaff is just as important as purging stones. Tips Some people recommend drinking lots of raw apple juice in the week leading up to the flush to soften the gallbladder stones. This is probably only necessary if you are over the age of 40, as until then the stones are unlikely to have calcified Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved.

Page 49 www.timrobins.net About Healing Clays Now we come to another totally natural, safe and proven method for gently pulling out the toxins and pathogens that prevent us from experiencing optimal health. One of the most researched healing clays is called Bentonite. Bentonite is a naturally occurring mineral rock which is mined and used for its powerful absorbing abilities. Indigenous cultures have been eating clay for thousands of years. Native Americans call it "Ee-Wah-Kee" meaning "The-Mud-That-Heals". The Aztecs and Aborigines are also known to use the healing powers of edible clays. Eating clay is a worldwide practise that has seemingly been happening since the dawn of time. Once you experience the rapid healing benefits for yourself, it is little wonder why mankind has been doing this for so long. Did you know that your stomach and intestines, or gastrointestinal (GI) tract to be medically correct, is the home for more that 50% of your immune system? Yes, over 50% of your immune defences are in your intestines! Yet the great majority of people living western lifestyles have a GI tract which is sluggish and polluted with toxic chemicals, undigested food and harmful parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungus and yeasts. As many health researchers will tell you, if you take antibiotics they will tend to kill a broad spectrum of bacteria inside us, both the bad and the good bacteria in our gut. By wiping out the highly beneficial „good bacteria‟ (known as flora) this leaves the GI tract unprotected and harmful yeasts are able to rapidly spread as a result Video - how antibiotics wipe out the good intestinal flora (4 minutes) These yeasts can eventually change form into a more harmful fungus (such as Candida) which produce extremely toxic by-products and can Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 50 www.timrobins.net eat into the lining of the intestines, giving rise to many chronic infections and illnesses. So although the antibiotic treatment may have killed the initial harmful bacteria, it paves the way for a systemic yeast and fungal infestation to follow. Women in particular are susceptible to yeast and fungal infections, both in the GI tract and vagina, so knowing how to reverse such a systemic condition is extremely useful. If you constantly feel tired, drained, suffer from skin disorders and have spells of erratic emotional outburst I highly recommend reading this book: Candida Albicans: Could Yeast Be Your Problem? by Leon Chaitow As well as making some important dietary changes, consuming calcium Bentonite for limited periods of time can be of great help in bringing the GI tract back into a healthy balance. Whether you are male or female, cleaning out the GI tract once in a while will be of great benefit to you. This will help to revitalise your digestion, strengthen your immune system and greatly enhance nutrient absorption. I have eaten Bentonite clay throughout every 7-10 day detox cleanse that I have ever done; and I‟ve done about 14 detoxes over the past 10 years. Bentonite is normally mixed with an insoluble powdered fibre called psyllium husk. The indigestible psyllium husk helps the clay move through the GI tract, facilitating the gathering of toxins and harmful microbes along the way. Although you can buy Bentonite clay from many sources, there are different grades and types. When using Bentonite internally it is Calcium Bentonite that must be used. When wanting to pull out toxins through the skin (in a bath) , you must use Sodium Bentonite clay (see pg 61). Sodium Bentonite has a much stronger magnetic charge and can therefore only be used externally, never internally. So, don‟t confuse the two! Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 51 www.timrobins.net I recommend a brand of high grade Calcium Bentonite called Edible Earth, which can be purchased from www.magneticclay.com or from sellers on Ebay.com.

Mix between 1 – 4 teaspoons of powdered/liquid clay into water (depending your preference or state of health) 2. Pour into a shaker bottle and add 1-4 teaspoons of psyllium husk. Shake well and drink immediately. 3. Drink an extra glass of water to help it go down 4. Drink the mix at least 1 hour before or after meals. 5. Don‟t take supplements or medications near to taking the Bentonite, as most of them will be absorbed by the Bentonite, rather than by your body 6.

See links below Cost: Low to High depending on product and your level of toxicity (see below) Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 53 www.timrobins.net About Heavy Metals Heavy metals are some of the most toxic substances in the world. They permeate their way right into our cells and tissues and they do not decay. Although heavy metals do occur in nature, by far the greatest and most dangerous source is from man made pollution. You have probably heard that our seas are now totally contaminated with heavy metals, and therefore so are the fish in it. Sadly this has meant that eating sea food too regularly can now be seriously dangerous for your health! You may be shocked to learn that your body, like the sea, sky and land, is also full of heavy metals. Our tissues absorb heavy metals from endless sources each and every day. Here are just a few for you to consider: Factory fumes (lead, arsenic, cadmium to name but a few!), nuclear energy/research plants (uranium/plutonium), lead based paints, pesticides sprayed onto the crops we eat (arsenic), car exhaust fumes (lead), amalgam fillings (mercury), aluminium cooking pots and pans, birth control pills (copper), cigarette smoke (lead & cadmium), margarine (nickel), bleached flour (aluminium) and vaccinations (mercury). Although they tend to accumulate slowly and in microscopic amounts, the cell-permeating qualities of heavy metals mean that heavy metals don‟t easily get excreted from our system by the normal methods of sweating or by passing urine or faeces. They do not breakdown over time and they are poorly eliminated by the body. Over the years these heavy metals build up and begin to interfere with the hundreds of vital processes in the body. They damage nerve function they compromise the immune system (thereby opening your body up to invasion by bacteria, fungus, virus and parasites) and they cause extensive brain damage (contributing to diseases such as Autism, Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 54 www.timrobins.net Alzheimer‟s and Parkinson‟s). Heavy metals are also notorious for their role in non-physical symptoms such as depression, anxiety, poor concentration, poor memory, lack of sex drive, mood swings and chronic fatigue. Heavy metals cause a huge number of other symptoms, here are just a few for you to consider and see if you recognize them in yourself: Brain fog – state of forgetfulness and confusion Chronic infections such as Candida Chronic malaise – general feeling of discomfort, fatigue, and illness Chronic pain throughout the muscles, tendons or soft tissues of the body Constipation, bloating, gas, heartburn, and indigestion Dizziness Food allergies Gastrointestinal complaints, such as diarrhoea Migraines and/or headaches Mood swings, depression, and/or anxiety Nervous system malfunctions – burning extremities, numbness, tingling, paralysis, and/or an electrifying feeling throughout the body Visual disturbances Heavy metals also act like fertilizers for many serious chronic diseases such as cancers, heart disease and brain diseases.

All Rights Reserved. Page 55 www.timrobins.net Am I depressed or am I polluted? Heavy metal toxicity can produce vague symptoms that sometimes are mistaken for other chronic conditions such as autism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, and a host of other serious mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. So it makes a lot of sense to discuss heavy metal toxicity with your healthcare professional before accepting any diagnosis or treatment for a serious chronic condition. HOWEVER, bear in mind that unless your healthcare provider is exceptionally knowledgeable, he or she is very unlikely to have had any significant training in heavy metals toxicity. Therefore the average family doctor is likely push the topic of heavy metals aside as they have little understanding of how pervasive and destructive heavy metals are to the body‟s health. So, regrettably, the „average‟ allopathic doctor is very unlikely to recommend you either test for or try detoxing heavy metals. How much heavy metal might your system be carrying? Take a moment to think about what levels of exposure to heavy metals you may have had over your life. Did you previously or do you still: Live in a house with lead water piping? Live next to or commute in constant traffic? Work as a dentist or dental assistant? Work in a gas station, as a mechanic, with petrol powder tools? Work in an industrial environment (such as a metal worker) Live near factories, fumes, sources of smoke? Have amalgam fillings in your mouth? (the black ones) Have had multiple vaccine injections? Do you smoke? Do you eat sea food regularly? Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 56 www.timrobins.net If you answer „yes‟ to any of these points above you are likely to have a level of heavy metals in you that is significantly higher than in most people. Even if you answer „no‟ to all of these points, you are still certain to have some heavy metals in you right now. Pulling Heavy Metals Out Heavy metals are notoriously difficult to remove from the body as they permeate the cell membrane and become lodged in the cell itself. Even 30 consecutive days of juice fasting is unlikely to rid your body of such poisons! If a person was exposed to heavy metals as a child, and let‟s say that person is now in their 60‟s they will STILL have those same toxic heavy metal poisons inside their body! This is why we need help by way of chelating substances. To „chelate‟ means to bind with or connect with. Chelation therapy is the term used to describe the treatments designed to remove heavy metals from your system. Certain substances have properties which naturally bind to heavy metals in the body, thereby making them easy for the body to excrete. The most well known chelation therapy is a synthetic amino acid called EDTA, which usually comes in a liquid form and is put into the body using an Intravenous (IV) drip. It is effective, but studies have shown that it also strips the body of essential minerals. A full course of IV EDTA is usually around 60 treatments. Each treatment costs at least £60/$100 and takes 4 hours to administer by a nurse or doctor. At 2 treatments a week it would last 4 months and cost at least £3000/$5000. That makes it a very expensive, inconvenient and inefficient methods for removing heavy metals. So, instead of IV EDTA I highly recommend these 5 alternative methods for pulling heavy metals from the body. They are all non-toxic remedies, without side-effects which can be done in the privacy of your own home. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 57 www.timrobins.net How to remove Heavy Metals Choosing the right product for you Having tested many chelating products and methods myself there are five listed here which I believe to be the most effective and each is supported by scientific data. It is not necessary to do all five but you may choose to combine some of them. I highly recommend that you do at least one of these every year, even if you have no signs of illness, as prevention is better than cure. Different bodies respond better to different things. That is why I have listed a selection. I encourage you to look into each of these products and trust your intuition as to which one is right for you. All of them are safe and highly beneficial, so you can‟t make a „bad choice‟. Note: The far infrared sauna can be safely combined with any of the other four products. The skin is our largest organ and sweating is the most effective way to remove toxins from the body. Saunas have been used for thousands of years and sweating has been proven to be effective for cleansing, relaxation and for boosting ones general health. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.

HMD (Heavy Metal Detox) Drops What is it: A chlorella and coriander (cilantro) based tincture which is 100% natural, backed by a 3 year, $1million, 350 person study Recommended for: All ages and all levels of health What evidence is there: Video - an interview with the creator of HMD (6 minutes) How do I use this: 50 drops in a glass of water 3 times per day How long will this take: A standard course lasts 90 days. It should be done each year for maintenance. Those with high toxicity may need to take it for longer and ideally under supervision of a toxicity expert Where can I get this: HMD global website Cost: Medium, approximately $118 for a 90 day supply Tips The creator of HMD drops has also created two highly complementary products called Lavage and Chlorella pills. If you suspect/know that you are very toxic, it would be a good step to also take these products. They both assist with elimination of the metals once the HMD pulls them from the tissues into the bloodstream. Thereby helping to avoid unwanted detoxification reactions. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 59 www.timrobins.net 2. Zeolite Powder What is it: 50 million year old natural mineral which has a cage-like structure that acts as a sponge to mop up toxic heavy metals, chemicals and pathogens. Recommended for: Everyone as it is gentle on the body and research suggests it is safe for all ages. It can be taken for months at a time What evidence is there: Scientific study 1, Scientific Study 2, Video - The difference between powdered and liquid Zeolite products How do I use this: Add one to four teaspoons to a glass of filtered water each day. Take at least one hour before a main meal. Although you can also get zeolite in capsules, I recommend pure powder, as it easier to mix and to swallow. How long will this take: Can be taken as part of an intensive cleanse in higher quantities or on an ongoing basis in lower quantities Where can I get this: Worldwide shipping – www.iherb.com (The „Zeoforce‟ brand seems to be the best value zeolite powder) Cost: Low, around $25 per 500gm (enough for 1 teaspoon per day over 2.5 months, or 4 teaspoons per day for a 3 week cleanse) Tips When buying any zeolite powder for internal use make sure you are buying zeolite which is at least 95% clinoptilolite powder. This is the best form for detoxification purposes. Never buy liquid zeolite, it is very diluted and very expensive! Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 60 www.timrobins.net 3. Magnetic Clay baths What is it: Magnetic clay (Sodium Bentonite) is a natural clay with powerful magnetic properties, only to be used externally. Recommended for: people who suspect high levels of toxicity in their system e.g. people working around paints, solvents, engines, post vaccines etc, and people whose liver/kidneys may be too weak or too constipated to handle internal detoxification What evidence is there: www.magneticclay.com/science.php How do I use this: Add the clay sachets to your bath to draw heavy metals and toxic chemicals out through the skin. For adults: www.magneticclay.com/guidelines.php For children (IMPORTANT) www.magneticclay.com/children.php CONTRAINDICATIONS AND CAUTIONS: The contraindications for clay baths are a heart condition, high blood pressure, taking prescription medicine and pregnancy. Always consult with your doctor if you are on medication, have a chronic condition or have a special health concern. How long will this take: there is no fixed answer to this, it depends upon your levels of toxicity. An „average‟ course may consist of 2 baths per week for 1 to 3 months, depending on your levels of toxicity. See the Testing section below on how to test your levels. Where can I get this: Their website is: www.magneticclay.com Cost: around $49 for a box of ten sachets (approx. 10 baths) Tips: To help you choose the best magnetic clay bath for you and your loved ones, I recommend you speak with the staff at Magneticclay.com on the phone. They are incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 61 www.timrobins.net 4. EDTA Suppositories What is it: EDTA is an organic compound which has been used in mainstream medicine for over 60 years as a heavy metal chelator, typically in an intravenous form. EDTA suppositories are the do-it-yourself home version which gently release into your system while you sleep. Recommended for: general heavy metal toxicity, prostate or cervical issues, calcified coronary artery disease, people who value the convenience and simplicity of suppositories How do I use this: Insert a single wax based suppository into the rectum before going to sleep. What evidence is there: http://www.chelationhealthproducts.com/Suppositories%20vs%20IV%20Study. pdf How long will this take: A standard adult course is considered to be 90 days, although this may be longer if your body is heavily toxic with metals. Adults should insert a 850mg-1500mg suppository per night. Where can I get this: www.chelationhealthproducts.com (Kelatox) www.drvitaminsolutions.com (Vitaltox) Tips If you or your partner work a lot around metals it is highly recommended you do a course of 90 days of EDTA suppositions: mechanics, metal workers, welders, assembly line workers etc. These EDTA suppositories cause many people to sleep very deeply. If you feel a bit queasy during the day you may choose to use the suppositories every other night and just continue for longer If your budget is tight then I‟d recommend you start with Zeolite powder instead. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 62 www.timrobins.net 5. Far Infrared Saunas What is it: Far infrared sauna is a special type of sauna that uses far-infrared waves to heat the body instead of steam or heated rocks. The body starts to sweat at a much lower temperature and releases significantly more toxins than through normal heat induced sweating. Recommended for: Everyday detoxing (including heavy metals and chemicals), excellent for people with high blood pressure, heart disease and other chronic illnesses, or people exposed to toxins through their environment on a regular basis How do I use this: Far-infrared saunas can be purchased, self assembled in under 1 hour and set up in your home, garage or out building. What evidence is there: see here for lots of info: www.detoxifynow.com/FIR_sauna.html How long will this take: One hour. Twenty minutes to warm up and take a warm shower and then forty minutes in and out of the sauna Where can I get this: UK www.theultimatesauna.co.uk/farinfared.htm www.theultimatesauna.co.uk USA www.hightechhealth.com www.amazon.com Cost: from $800 - $3000, depending on build quality and size (1-4 people) Tips Remember to drink plenty of water before during and after the sauna so you don‟t get a headache, at least 1.5 litres. Try adding a teaspoon of C-Salts vitamin C powder to the 1.5 litres of water for further detoxing benefits and to keep your electrolyte levels sufficient. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 63 www.timrobins.net Testing For Heavy Metals Heavy metals are somewhat tricky to measure. It is currently impossible to know the exact amounts of heavy metals in the body. The only sure way would be to measure the metals in the ashes of a person once they have been cremated (but by then detoxification is of little interest to the person!). Measuring heavy metals is complex due to their permeating nature. Hair, blood, urine and stool samples can all be used to detect and measure levels of heavy metals, but such a test will only measure the amounts of metals in that sample being tested, not what is inside the rest of the body. If you do a metals test, then start taking a chelating product and then test your metal levels several months later, the readings should be HIGHER not lower. This is because more metals are being successfully pulled out, thereby making the readings from the sample higher. Our bodies will never be totally free or heavy metals, nor will our bodies ever be totally free from harmful microbes. The best we can do is to keep them both at bay. Knowing that the test results will never be zero, I personally don‟t spend money on heavy metals analysis anymore. I invest my money into at least one chelating product per year and use it as it recommended. If you are generally healthy you might choose a similar approach and decide to invest straight into a quality chelating product. Yet if you have been dealing with an on going chronic illness or auto-immune type of disease, you may well want to test for heavy metals to find out if any in particular are excessively high.

Well in this chapter we have covered hydrating the body with pure water, pulling out toxins from the mouth with oil, flushing the liver and gallbladder, cleaning the GI tract out and lowering the level of heavy metals toxicity within us. Now, in the next chapter, I‟d like to share with you some simple steps for helping you to minimise the rate at which your body absorbs new toxins in your daily life. It‟s all about reducing toxicity in your life… Ready for more? Ok, let‟s go…. RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved.

All Rights Reserved. Page 66 www.timrobins.net Reducing The Toxins In Your Daily Life Firstly, please notice that I use the term „reduce‟ toxins and not eliminate toxins. The reason for this is that we really cannot eliminate toxins from re-absorbing into our bodies. We are surrounded by toxicity in the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and bathe in and from the 80,000+ chemicals we come into contact with in daily life. For example, many people have no idea that the toiletries they are using every day are filled with cocktails of toxic synthetic chemicals, many of which have been shown to cause cancer, disrupt hormones and damage cell membranes in lab animal tests. So the best we can do is to keep the toxic levels within us reduced. Fortunately there are some very practical and effective things that you can start doing to get immediate benefit. The good news is that there are some excellent non-toxic alternatives that not only work well, but many of them work better and leave your skin feeling much more alive and vital. These products tend not to be so well known, and you probably won‟t find them in your average chemist or supermarket, but thanks to the internet they are available and affordable.

Page 67 www.timrobins.net Changing Your Toiletries Changing Your Toiletries – Non-Toxic Alternatives Antiperspirants Firstly I recommend never using an antiperspirant. Antiperspirants actually stop your cells from being able to sweat; this is not good. To use a product on a daily basis that blocks the natural functioning of your body (in this case sweating) is never a good idea. Antiperspirant products have been found to contribute to cancers, Alzheimer‟s, lymphatic diseases and more. These products also contain aluminium, in the form of aluminium chloride or aluminium chlorhydrate, both of which have been shown to contribute to breast cancer. Deodorants So deodorants are definitely preferable to antiperspirants. However, like antiperspirants, many deodorants also contain aluminium chloride or aluminium chlorhydrate. Research shows that aluminium can pass straight through the blood brain barrier into the cortex of the brain, where it wreaks havoc with neurological functioning. I suggest you immediately stop using standard brands of sprays or rollons (unless they specifically say that they are aluminium free) and find a deodorant which is free of aluminium chloride / aluminium chlorhydrate. I have used an alum-based crystal deodorant rock for the past 4 years and recommend them to everyone: UK Men – Pitrok Crystal Deodorant Women – Crystal Deodorant Stick USA/Canada Men – Crystal Deodorant Stick Women – Crystal Deodorant Stick Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 68 www.timrobins.net Stop using alcohol-based mouth wash You may be as surprised as I was to discover that alcohol based mouth wash products are being increasingly linked to cancers in the mouth. While alcohol may be effective at killing pathogens in the mouth, it is now strongly linked to making the lining of the mouth more susceptible to cancer causing substances. Further to the alcohol, the other chemical agents are questionable to say the least. Best to avoid them altogether and choose some natural products instead. See the evidence here: Australian Dental Journal – alcohol in mouth washes and oral cancer link Natural News website article Manufacture of Listerine sued over mouthwash cancer fears Acidic pH of mouthwashes shown to strip enamel off teeth! I recommend you instantly stop using alcohol based mouth washes and try either an alcohol free mouth wash product or try some of these methods instead: Alternatives Oil pulling (see pg 34) Gargling with ozonated water (see pg 76) Swish 1-5 drops of diluted oil of oregano (see pg 87) Colloidal Silver (see pg 89) Brush your teeth with baking soda (pg 123) Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 69 www.timrobins.net Stop using lead-containing lipstick Lipstick - Stop using lead-containing lipstick A study in 2007 and follow-up study in 2009 by the FDA (America‟s Food & Drug Aministration) tested 20 brands of lipstick. They found the heavy metal lead in EVERY product they tested. The FDA report summarised the 2009 study, in which even higher levels of lead were found than is the 2007 study, with these apathetic words: “Lead levels found by the FDA are within the range that might be expected from lipsticks formulated with permitted color additives and other ingredients prepared under GMP conditions.” Allow me to translate: „We know that these products contain a highly toxic heavy metal, one which is proven to wreak havoc throughout the human body, but toxins in lipsticks are so commonplace that we are not going to take any specific action to ban this from happening!‟ By stating that the levels are within the „permitted‟ levels suggests that the levels are safe, but there is no such thing as a „safe level‟ of a heavy metal in the body. Every molecule of heavy metal causes damage and harms our health. So the agencies set up to protect our health know that we are being slowly poisoned by products which they have checked, yet they fail to take protective action on our behalf. More than ever before it is left up to us, the consumer, to research and cross check the products we buy. Hopefully you will start to cross check products more closely before putting them on or into your body.

Page 70 www.timrobins.net Remove All Amalgam Fillings – A Gift To Your System Removing Amalgam Fillings – A Gift To Your System It‟s almost too horrific to be true! How did the dentistry industry manage to convince health authorities that putting one of the world‟s most toxic substances into our mouths could be a good thing? Amalgam fillings (the black ones) contain around 50% mercury. Mercury is listed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a „hazardous waste‟. The EPA lists strict and detailed protocols for the disposal of mercury when being handled as industrial waste. In other words, if a company produces mercury as a waste product and needs to get rid of it, they must meet a protocol of rigid laws and guidelines before being able to bury it deep into the group in thick vaults designed to never to be opened again! This is because mercury is considered to be one of THE MOST TOXIC heavy metals in the world, second only to Uranium! Mercury permeates into all living tissues and is extremely difficult to remove from cells. Yet you could go to a dentist tomorrow and have mercury embedded into your mouth for the price of an amalgam filling! If you have, up until now, followed your dentist‟s reassurance that there is no proof that amalgam fillings „leach‟ (come out into your body) mercury then I encourage you to educate yourself by watching these powerful videos and documentaries: Video - „Smoking Teeth‟ – mercury vapours coming off amalgam fillings (8½ minutes) Video - 60 Minute‟s „Is there poison in your Mouth?‟ (25 minutes) Video - Panorama‟s „Poison in the Mouth‟ documentary (40 minutes) Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 71 www.timrobins.net And if you are in any doubt that mercury is a highly toxic poison, then watch this shocking video produced by the University of Calgary. It clearly shows mercury actively destroying brain neurons under a microscopic magnification. How mercury causes brain neuron degeneration (4½ minutes) This is also a useful website to learn more about mercury and its effects on the our health: www.mercurymadness.org How To Get Amalgams Removed Properly Please pay close attention to this part. Having your amalgams removed can be a very dangerous event! I repeat, having amalgams removed CAN be a very dangerous event, sometimes causing more toxic damage to the body than leaving them in. How? If the dentist does not follow a strict extraction protocol there is a chance that parts of the amalgam filling can be swallowed or that large amounts of fumes can be inhaled while being drilled out. That is why it is very important you find a dentist experienced in removing amalgams. I would actually advise AGAINST having any amalgams removed UNLESS your dentist is well experienced at amalgam removal AND follows ALL of these steps listed in this 10 step protocol for amalgam extraction. Here is a 10 step protocol for removal of amalgam fillings. The importance of proper amalgams removal cannot be stressed enough. Likewise it is also crucial that you are taking at least one of the heavy metals chelating products listed in the last section of chapter 2 before, during and after any amalgams you have removed. Ideally you should be taking a product such as HMD, zeolite powder, magnetic clay baths or Detoxamin / Kelatox for several weeks BEFORE Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 72 www.timrobins.net the extraction date and then continue for 2 to 3 months AFTER the extraction date. There are numerous reports of people developing autoimmune diseases (such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME, MS or Crohn‟s disease) within 3-6 months after having amalgams removed. An autoimmune disease is what can occur when the body becomes so polluted that it gets confused and starts attacking its own cells. For more information about the connection between mercury and chronic diseases see here. By taking a good quality chelating product before and after the extraction date you enable your body to eliminate any mercury vapours that it may have absorbed during the extraction, thereby massively reducing (perhaps eliminating) the chance for such diseases occurring. I would encourage you to seek the professional opinion of a holistically trained „biological dentist‟ as they are trained to recognise the wider health connection between the teeth and the overall health of the body.

Of course they must be a good thing, they have wiped out diseases around the world, haven‟t they? They are the best way to save lives and protect us from dangerous diseases, right? Well, many medical doctors and medical experts think not. Vaccines are often laced with dozens of toxic poisons such as squalene oil and mercury! They are also filled with foreign DNA, RNA and proteins that are being increasingly linked to allergies, auto-immune disease and autism. Furthermore, many vaccines are allowed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be contaminated by several dozen other viruses and bacteria and still be considered safe for humans!

In this context I would say that such fear is a healthy thing. Being afraid of highly poisonous vaccines is Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 74 www.timrobins.net intelligence at work. But this doesn‟t mean you need to live in fear. There are many proven alternatives to vaccines. Effective Alternatives to Vaccines There are thousands of parents around the world who are raising healthy happy children that have never been vaccinated. If deciding against vaccinations sounds „risky‟ to you, it is most likely because your mind has been conditioned to believe otherwise. Millions of dollars are spent every year in advertising to „remind‟ us of how good vaccines are. Many people accept this as fact, without considering the alternative options. It‟s worth remembering that we have survived for over 100,000 years on earth as humans without vaccines. The number one alternative to a vaccine is to build a strong immune system! This is what nature has given us as our defence to disease. When properly supported our immune system is incredibly powerful, far more so than we give it credit for. If we contract an infectious disease the body instantly builds natural defences against the invader called antibodies. So long as you are supporting the immune system with nutrition, detoxification and perhaps some antimicrobial products (as listed in the next chapter) there is little need for vaccines. Further to these preventative steps, the most common alternative to vaccines are homeopathic remedies. They are safe, proven and used by thousands of people all over the world.

Page 75 www.timrobins.net Ozone (O3) Cleaning Without Chemicals Quickview Ozone – Nature‟s Perfect Cleaning Agent Why should I do this: To clean your fruits, vegetables, drinking water or anything else that needs cleaning/disinfecting without the use of toxic chemicals. What are the benefits: Your fruits, vegetables, meats and drinking water will be much safer to consume as the toxic load and germ load will be hugely reduced What conditions can this help: It will help to prevent illnesses arising from the consumption of toxins found in pesticides/herbicides etc, as well as from harm arising from yeasts and fungus growing on vegetables/fruits/meats. What is it: Ozone is simply activated oxygen, O3 instead of O2. Oxygen plus electrical charge equals O3 How does it work: Ozone breaks down and instantly neutralises harmful chemicals or harmful pathogens by oxidising them. Ozone is almost unique in its ability to kill ALL known bacteria, fungus, yeast, virus and parasites. What do I need: An ozone generator, with silicone pipe and bubble stone When should I do this: As part of your daily food/water preparation How long will this take: 5-20 minutes depending on the size of container How often should I do this: Whenever you want to clean foods or water in a safe, non-toxic and chemical free way Cautions: Be careful not to take in a deep breath full of ozone as it will irritate the lungs. Have a window open in the room when ozonating. Otherwise it is harmless and generally safe to be in contact with. Where can I get this: Aqua-6 Ozone Generator, http://www.sota.com, „Enaly 1000BT ozone generator‟ on ebay.com Cost: Low to Medium. From $70-$400 depending on quality and brand Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 76 www.timrobins.net About Ozone Ozone seems to be poorly understood by many people. Some people mistake it for a toxic gas; others think it is some sort of harmful chemical concoction. Ozone is simply „activated oxygen‟; the result of oxygen and electricity coming together. Its chemical structure is three oxygen molecules bound together, making O3, instead of the usual O2 that we breathe every second we are alive. Ozone is created naturally in the atmosphere when the sun‟s rays or lightning „energise‟ oxygen and cause it to rupture its molecules. The normal two molecule bond (O2) can form into a 3 molecule bond (O3). At this point oxygen becomes ozone. Ozone is not a stable molecule. After just 20 minutes of being created it will have already broken down by 50% or so. It breaks down into O2 (oxygen) and O1 – a single oxygen molecule. This single oxygen molecule is extremely useful to our body as it energetically wants to bind onto another electron. When exposed to harmful pathogens (virus, bacteria, fungus, yeasts etc) or harmful toxins (chemicals, poisons and other pollutants) it pulls electrons off them, thereby oxidising them and rendering them harmless! No chemicals, no poison, no side effects. Just „activated‟ oxygen at work. For an excellent presentation on ozone and oxygen therapies watch this free online video with health researcher Ed McCabe: Video - Ed McCabe discussing the many benefits of ozone (48 minutes) Ozone therapy is commonly practised in countries such as Germany, Russia and Cuba with incredible healing results. Correctly applied it reverses cancers, heals burns without a scar and reduces viral loads in the blood down to undetectable levels. Yet in the UK and USA doctors can get into trouble for using it with patients as it is considered a „fringe medicine‟. There is sadly much politics within the industry of medicine, Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 77 www.timrobins.net which means that what is best is not always what is promoted. By far the best documentary yet made on the medical applications of ozone can be found here. It makes a very compelling case for further research into this highly effective and incredibly safe form of medicine: Video – Documentary trailer – Ozone: A Medical Breakthrough (3 mins) The DVD can be purchased here: www.o3medicalozone.com Ozone generators There are two basic types of ozone generators – those that use ambient air (the natural air around us) or those that are fed by pure oxygen from an oxygen cylinder. Without question the purest concentration of ozone is produced by an oxygen-fed generator as it is combining an electrical charge with 100% pure oxygen. Generators being fed with the ambient air will only be able to use the oxygen found in our air – approximately 20%. So oxygen fed generators are approximately 5 times more potent. However, for the purpose of cleaning fruits/vegetables/meat or purifying water for home use, ambient air ozone generators are more than adequate. For a concise introduction to the features and benefits of using an ozone machine to clean your food and water I recommend you watch this 13 minute video.

You may also want to invest into a silica air filter to help keep the generator running in good condition for longer. See the link below for more of Enaly‟s products: stores.ebay.com/ENALYOZONE Some uses for an ozone machine Sterilize/Energize Drinking Water: Run ozone through an 8oz glass of water for approximately 5 minutes, preferably chilled for best results. For larger amounts of water ozonate for longer. Drink immediately after ozonating. You will feel the results instantly. Food Sterilization: There is no better or faster way to sterilize meat, seafood, fruits or vegetables. Simply fill a bowl with cold water, add your food and place the bubble stone in it for about 10 minutes. Your food will taste fresher, especially seafood, and it will make your vegetables extremely crisp. Toothbrush Sanitization: Virtually ALL toothbrushes are infected by bacteria and other nasty microbes. Soaking your toothbrush in ozonated water for a few minutes destroys all the pathogens on the bristles. Ozonated water is also good as a mouthwash for mouth and yeast infections. Athlete's Foot: Ozonate a container of water that is large enough to fully submerge your feet. Then place your feet in the water while continuing to ozonate for at least 20 or 30 minutes.

Page 79 www.timrobins.net Chapter 4: Chapter 4: How To Safely Eliminate Pathogens How To Safely Eliminate Pathogens "Illnesses hover constantly above us, their seed blown by the winds, but they do not set in the terrain unless the terrain is ready to receive them." Claude Bernard (1868), known as „the Father of Modern Medicine‟ In this chapter you will learn: What pathogens are & how they spread Why we need to eliminate them How to safely eliminate them Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 80 www.timrobins.net Pathogens – what are they & what do they do? What are pathogens? The word „pathogen‟ is a collective term, used to describe any disease producing agent – typically referring to harmful bacteria, fungus, yeast, virus or parasites. Pathogens are harmful by nature. They live in our system in our blood, tissue and organs where they thrive off our nutrients and in return spread poison and disease. Unlike the flora in our gut (so called „good bacteria‟) which is essential for our health, pathogens give us no benefit and frequently cause us harm. The more you can lower the amount of pathogens in your body the better. Whist your immune system can handle such a task when it is properly supported through nutrition and exercise, the fact is most people don‟t get good nutrition nor do they exercise regularly. On top of that everyone has some level of toxic pollution in their system which further compromises the immune system, making it an easier environment for pathogens to breed and spread. Pathogens enter our bodies via the food we eat, water we drink, air we breath and the things we touch. We cannot avoid them, so trying to do so is futile. But we can take precautions and steps to help minimise our exposure to them. This is what we will be investigating in this chapter. The vast majority of human diseases are rooted in some form of microbial activity. In other words bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infections are at the root of a great many diseases and ailments. These pathogens live and breed inside us, but only if the conditions within us are suitable for breeding. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 81 www.timrobins.net This is crucially important, so let me say that again: pathogens can only grow and breed in conditions that support growth and breeding. If you know how to change the conditions within your body you can reduce and even eliminate any form of pathogen. This is an understanding that most allopathically trained doctors fail to recognise. Think about it: why does mould grow so rapidly on damp towels but so slowly, if at all, on dry towels? The conditions must be there for the pathogens to grow. Why does one person suffer from a yeast infection and another person doesn‟t? Why does one person constantly battle with ear infections and another never? Why do some people‟s bodies support the formation of cancers and other people‟s bodies don‟t? The level of impact that pathogens have on your health comes down to the internal conditions within your body, in particular the strength of your immune system. Infectious micro-organisms proliferate as a result of the internal environmental conditions created by your diet, lifestyle (stress levels) and toxicity levels. Yet, this view flies in the face of allopathic medicine. Your doctor is likely to suggest the exact opposite, such as “there‟s a virus going around at the moment”, or “this is flu season”, thereby suggesting that the germs are lurking „out there‟ and that they can strike anyone at any time. This simply isn‟t true. Whether you develop an infection or not is not to do with what is floating around „out there‟ so much as it is do with what is happening inside you „in here‟. If your immune system is compromised by stress, toxicity or deficiency you will have inadvertently created the perfect conditions for that pathogen to spread inside you. It‟s the internal conditions that determine your levels of disease, far more than the external factors. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 82 www.timrobins.net The good news for you is that your internal environment is largely under your control! What you choose to put in your mouth or what you choose to avoid is a major factor in the state of your internal environment. (More on good foods vs bad foods later in chapter 5.) Likewise, knowing what supplements and products support the immune system is some seriously empowering information – and that is exactly what you will learn in this chapter! So, to echo this crucial point again: when we are nutritionally deficient and filled with harmful toxins (physical and emotional toxins), our immune system is unable to operate effectively. It doesn‟t take long for opportunistic micro-organisms to take root in various parts of our system where they then multiply and spread, causing even more dysfunction and disease in our system. Here is a non-exhaustive list of some diseases which are caused by or prolonged by pathogens: AIDS Gonorrhoea Mumps Arthritis Glandular fever Nail fungus Athlete‟s foot Gingivitis Peptic ulcers Cancers Heart disease Pneumonia Candida Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E Polio Chicken pox Herpes Psoriasis Chlamydia HPV virus Rabies Common cold Influenza Salmonellosis Conjunctivitis Legionaries‟ disease Shingles Dengue fever Leprosy Rubella Diphtheria Malaria Tetanus Ebola Measles Tuberculosis Eczema Meningitis Verrucas Fibromyalgia MRSA („Hospital superbug‟) Warts Gangrene Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 83 Yeast infections www.timrobins.net What is the allopathic approach to treating infections? Western medicine attempts to kill pathogens in the following ways: Bacteria Parasites Yeast/Fungus Virus - with antibiotics and vaccines with vaccines and other poisons with antifungal poisons and antifungal creams allopathic medicine tells us that there are no known cures for viral infections! As you can see above, allopathic medicine tries to treat pathogenic infections with toxic poisons. While such poisons can be effective at killing the intended pathogen, they often end up harming healthy cells too, thereby creating side effects which may also require further „medication‟. If this approach worked it would be wonderful for mankind, but the reality is that the side effects of such poisons frequently outweigh the beneficial effects of reducing the pathogens in the body. Toxic chemicals medicines, prescribed and administered by well intentioned doctors, overload the liver and destroy the vitally important beneficial intestinal flora, thereby wreaking havoc to the immune system, which in turn opens up the chance of secondary infections which then spread unhindered throughout your entire system. If you are in a life threatening situation with a serious infection antibiotics may well save your life. But for long term chronic illnesses their benefits are limited and they are often harmful to your overall health. But fear not, there are some wonderful alternatives that kill the bad guys without causing any harm to you. Yes, non-toxic natural antibiotics!!

Page 85 www.timrobins.net About Ozonated Olive Oil Ozone has already been mentioned in the previous chapter as being one of the most effective cleaning agents known to man. It kills 99.9999% of all known pathogens, but rather than poisoning them with toxicity (such as with chlorine or bleach), ozone kills pathogens by oxidising them with harmless oxygen molecules. However, it has a short life. Ozone lasts in water or in the air for about 20-30 minutes before breaking down into O2 (oxygen) and O1 (a single oxygen molecule). So in order to make better use of it you need to „trap‟ the ozone molecules into a gel. This is where olive oil comes in… Pure ozone gas is bubbled through extra virgin olive oil for 2-3 weeks continuously! Eventually the ozone transforms the chemical structure of the olive oil into a white paste with a similar consistency to Vaseline. This gel is then kept in the fridge to help preserve the potency of the trapped ozone molecules. You can then apply this wonder gel to any cut, burn, infection, rash, blemish, acne, gums, nostrils, ears….you name it! Ozonated Olive Oil is an effective treatment for inflammation of the skin, and mucous membranes, dermatitis and is used primarily for: Acne Bacterial infections Bed Sores/ Leg Ulcers Dermatitis Fungal infections Fistulae Gingivitis Haemorrhoids Impetigo Insect Bites/Bee Stings Psoriasis Ringworm Shaving rash Skin Yeast Sweat Gland Infections Vulvovaginitis It is also helpful for the post-surgical treatment of wounds to prevent secondary infections.

Page 87 www.timrobins.net About Oil of Oregano Oil of Oregano is considered by many to be a wonder substance. Perhaps nature‟s most effective anti-microbial agent, Oregano oil is both highly effective and proven safe for human internal and external uses. Numerous university studies have shown that Oil of Oregano is a highly potent purifier that provides many benefits for human health. Oil of Oregano is a natural substance that is extracted from the wild oregano plant. Two key compounds found in it are carvacrol and thymol. Studies have shown that both of these compounds have significant effects on harmful microorganisms that cause many illnesses in humans. It is important not to confuse Oil of Oregano with common oregano that is used as a spice for cooking. Common oregano is typically Origanum Marjoram, while Oil of Oregano is derived from Origanum Vulgare. Oil of Oregano can be purchased as either a liquid or as capsules/tablets. In both forms, it is important to verify that the oil is derived from the proper potent oregano plant, and that the carvacrol concentration is at least 70%. Oregano oil is a potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic oil that can reduce pain and inflammation and effectively fight off infections. Very useful for: Digestive problems Improving respiratory health Increasing joint/muscle flexibility Internal & topic infections Nail fungus Oral hygiene Strengthening immune system Skin infections Guidelines for use: Pure concentrated oil – if pure concentrated oil, add 1-3 drops to a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and swallow or apply to skin Oil capsules: - take as recommended by the manufacture For more details on how to use oil of Oregano: www.homeremediesweb.com/oil_of_oregano_health_benefits.php You may also want to read the book: The Cure Is in the Cupboard: How to Use Oregano for Better Health, by Cass Ingram Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.

Page 89 www.timrobins.net About Colloidal Silver Colloidal Silver (CS) is a 100% natural antibiotic. It consists of just purified water and millions of electrically charged silver particles. Silver is a natural anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal mineral. It disables harmful microbes but is harmless to healthy cells. A „colloid‟ is any substance that has been reduced to microscopic particle size and is suspended in a liquid. This process is done by passing electricity through pure silver electrodes while they are immersed in a container of pure water; otherwise known as electrolysis. By reducing the silver to a microscopic „colloid form‟ the surface area and absorption rate are maximized. Silver does not remain in the body; the body uses what it needs and expels any excess through the urine. Silver is NOT a heavy metal, it is a noble metal (along with gold and platinum). Silver does not permeate the cell membrane and can therefore be easily excreted by the body. Silver is a totally non-toxic metal and is listed as such by health agencies around the world. The silver ions carry a positive magnetic charge, and most harmful bacteria carry a negative magnetic charge, so they are attracted to one another very quickly. Once contact is made, the silver ions bind to the pathogens and deactivate their respiration function, and the pathogen swiftly dies. I have been producing literally thousands of litres of colloidal silver since 2006. I can wholeheartedly confirm that it is as close to a miracle product as anything else I have ever experienced. I don‟t know of any other product that is lethal to pathogens and yet can be safely sprayed directly into the eyes, cuts, burns, genitals and mouth without causing any harm or stinging at all. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 90 www.timrobins.net Once you start using it you‟ll rapidly realise just how versatile it is. Like many of the friends and people I know who also use it, I couldn‟t imagine living without it now. I really encourage you to discover the many benefits of colloidal silver! Won’t colloidal silver turn my skin blue/grey? Ever since first discovering colloidal silver for myself, I have been searching the internet and books for any evidence of dangers or risks associated with it. After years of extensive research I have managed to find just ONE reported issue. And in fact, this is a non-issue as it does not relate to colloidal silver itself. There are a few dozen reports on some people whose skin has become discoloured after drinking HUGE amounts of IMPURE electrically generated silver solution for MONTHS OR YEARS at a time. This impure form of silver compounds, in large enough doses, results in some of the impurities being trapped in the skin, where over time it can eventually cause discolouration. The discolouration of the skin through impure silver compounds is medically known as argyria (pronounced A-GEE-REE-A). When the average person hears of this they typically run a mile from colloidal silver, convinced that a single tablespoon will turn them grey! Nothing could be farther from reality. Argyria can ONLY occur if you are drinking MASSIVE amounts of IMPURE colloidal silver for EXTENDED periods of time. If you make colloidal silver with water that contains minerals (such as nitrates or sulphates) the silver ions will bind to those minerals creating silver compounds such as silver nitrate or silver sulphide. The body has a very difficult time detoxifying such compounds and will deposit them in the layers of the skin. Even then, you still need to drink dozens of litres of impure silver solution for months for visible signs to appear in the skin. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 91 www.timrobins.net The truth is that not one single person has ever had their skin change colour from drinking pure colloidal silver. Simply apply common sense buy consuming only a pure product and stick to recommended dosages and you will enjoy all the healing benefits of colloidal silver risk free. Here are some useful guidelines to follow: If you are buying a colloidal silver product, it should be: Made using purified or steam distilled or purified water only Made using 99.99% pure silver only Be no more than 20ppm strength Have no colour to it, just pure crystal clear like water Take a teaspoon to a tablespoon per day as a preventative Adults - no more than 8 tablespoons per day during sickness Children – no more than 3 teaspoons per day during sickness Use it in moderation, either during „flu seasons‟ or whenever you feel symptoms of illness appearing If you are making your own colloidal silver: Use ONLY steam distilled/purified water (NOT tap, mineral, filtered) As an additional measure, invest into a Hanna Instrument‟s PWT digital ppm tester to ensure accurate strength Ideally the water should have a reading of less than 1.0 on a Hanna PWT digital meter Use only 99.99% pure silver electrodes Never add salt or anything else to the water Follow the production guidelines of the silver generator you buy Consume only when crystal clear or light champagne colour Follow the dosage guidelines already mentioned above To learn more about colloidal silver go here: www.naturalnews.com/colloidal_silver.html www.silver-colloids.com Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.

Page 94 www.timrobins.net About The Silver Pulser I have owned a Silver Pulser since 2006 and it has proven itself invaluable time after time. Not only has it kept my free of any serious infection, flu or fever in that time, it has also helped many friends rapidly overcome infections including: flu, fever, throat infections, allergies, blood infections, Candida overgrowth and the associates symptoms of: cloudy thinking, depression, constant craving for sweet foods/sugar etc. Every person who has used it daily for a week or more reports clearer thinking, better sleep, brighter skin and feeling considerably more energy. The Silver Pulser is made by a company called SOTA Instruments in Canada. The schematics of this device come from the pioneering work of a physicist called Dr Robert C. Beck. To read an interesting summary of Dr Beck and the events that led him to create this incredible device see here: http://www.sharinghealth.com/bobbeck.html In short, Dr Beck was presented with paperwork of an approved US patent for a device that claimed to be a cure for HIV/AIDS! Startled by what he read, Dr Beck spent months designing a simple electronic device based upon the information in the patent. The device emits micro-currents (very small amounts of electricity) from two electrodes which are held in place over the two main arteries in the wrist. Such micro-currents have been shown to safely disable (i.e. render harmless) all sorts of pathogens including fungus, yeasts, bacteria and even viruses! See the actual patent here: US Patent # 5,188,738 This fascinating field of health is known as electromedicine. Although most people, including many experts and specialists, have never heard of electromedicine it has been practised for around one hundred years already. Ever since the early decades of the 20th century, pioneers have been reversing the „irreversible‟ and healing the so-called „incurable‟ with various forms of energy-based devices. Of the many devices available, Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 95 www.timrobins.net the Silver Pulser is widely considered to be one of the most effective and best value devices on the market. To give you a clearer idea of what this simple little device can do, here is a before and after photo of live human blood as shown under a dark-field microscope. Prior to using the Silver Pulser the red blood cells are stacked together, (in a formation is known as rouleaux) which is a nonspecific precursor to the presence of disease. Healthy blood should look like a clean flowing river, not a sticky swamp! Highlighted with the red arrow in both images is a neutrophil (a type of white blood cell which forms a large part of the immune system). Notice how in the „after‟ photo it has roughly trebled in size! It also has plenty more space to go out and „get the bad guys‟! To see a neutrophil in action, check out this incredible video. Before using the Silver Pulser After 2 hours of ‘Pulsing’ You don‟t need to be a doctor to decide which blood you would rather have pumping around your body! Great health simply isn‟t possible with dirty, sticky or infected blood. Likewise, disease has a difficult time appearing when the blood is clean and vibrant. The Silver Pulser is an affordable, safe and intelligent way of cleaning your blood and for creating the underlying conditions for radiating health. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 96 www.timrobins.net The micro-currents disable harmful micro-organisms while also appearing to stimulate and energise the immune system; a powerful combination! Why Choose The Silver Pulser? 1. Delivers great results. In my experience this little device disables infectious germs in the blood with incredible efficiency. 2. User friendly. It‟s easy to use, you simply strap it onto one forearm, turn it on and forget about it. Other devices require both hands to hold onto electrodes through the treatment which is highly impractical. The Silver Pulser allows both hands to be kept free. 3. Affordable. At under $250 it is not a bank breaker; an investment for life which can be used by you, your family & friends for years. 4. Versatile. The Silver Pulser is not only a blood cleaner, it also makes what many to believe to be one of the greatest natural antibiotic liquid in the world…colloidal silver! (as discussed just a few pages ago) Making Colloidal Silver The Silver Pulser transforms from a blood cleaning device that is worn on the arm, into a colloidal silver generator. It comes complete with 99.99% pure silver rods. It is for the colloidal silver production that the power cable is required, make sure you order one (with a plug for your country) as it doesn‟t come as standard with the Silver Pulser. Once you own a Silver Pulser then all you need to buy is purified water from a pharmacy or from online. Where can I learn more about electromedicine & colloidal silver?

Page 98 www.timrobins.net Nourishing Your Body For Optimal Health Although no two people are identical, there are some things that we are all negatively affected by, such as infections and toxins. Likewise there are certain nutrients that are essential for health. I have compiled a list of these specific nutrients along with the most effective and most affordable ways to get them into your system. In an ideal world we would get all the nutrition our body and mind needs from the food that we eat. While this may have been the case for our great grandparents, in our modern times of intensive agro-farming, depleted soils, mass food processing and rampant pollution, much of our daily diet is nutritionally empty. Further to this, as I‟m sure you can testify, we are living in a stressful world which places huge additional burdens on our mind, emotions and immune system. The higher our stress levels the faster our body burns up nutrients. If the nutrients aren‟t there for the body to burn up, the body starts to breakdown at an accelerated rate. This leads to premature aging and more frequent sickness. All the more reason we need to give our bodies some extra nutritional support. Nowadays we NEED to supplement our bodies with additional nutrients to compensate for the lack of them in our foods. Let’s Be Realistic Whilst we all know that eating more raw vegetables will make us much healthier, the reality is that a raw diet takes a huge amount of time (and expense) to maintain. Most people simply don‟t have the time, motivation or money to eat large amounts of raw food every day. So let‟s be smart and find a quick, affordable and easy way to ingest large amounts of raw nutrition on a daily basis…. Are you ready to discover a life changing solution that does just this? Well, keep reading amigo, things are about to get seriously empowering…! Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 99 www.timrobins.net Green Smoothies Maximum nutrition – minimum effort Quickview Green Smoothies – Maximum Nutrition, Minimum Effort Why should I do this: because the body needs nutrients in order to function correctly and to be healthy; and most western food is nutrient deficient What are the benefits: you can consume a large amount of nutritious greens in a quick, easy, affordable and delicious way What conditions can this help: increased nutrient intake will help to prevent alleviate and reverse ALL illnesses and ailments What is it: 50% green leaves (spinach, kale, beet tops, carrot tops etc) 50% fruit e.g. banana, apples, pears, mango, avocado etc. and some filtered water What do I need: a blender, a variety of green leaves, a variety of fruit and a glass of filtered water How does it work: the blender breaks down the greens and fruit into a liquid form, making it easy to digest and highly absorbable When should I do this: in the morning as your breakfast, or at any other time to suit you. Make extra, put it in a thermos and bring it to work. How long will this take: under 10 minutes to prepare, make, drink & clean up How often should I do this: the more often the better, you can‟t overdose on natural forms of nutrition, so aim to have at least one green smoothie per day Cautions: none, just be careful when using the blender! Where can I get this: blender from online or an electrical store, fruits and greens from your green grocer, garden or nature Cost: see below for some blender recommendations: Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 100 www.timrobins.net Blenders vs juicers The big difference between a blender and juicer is that plant fibre put into a blender remains in the blender, whereas in a juicer the plant fibre is separated and removed. Plant fibre is an essential part of bowel health, without it our bowels become sluggish, clogged and bowel-related disease will start to appear. Constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, diverticulitis, colitis and some colorectal cancers are far more likely to occur as a result of a fibre deficiency. Fibre is also essential for lowering cholesterol, lowering risks of heart disease, stabilising blood sugar and supporting the proliferation of good flora in the intestines. Yet the average westerner gets just 10-15grams of daily fibre, compared to the 32grams per day that leading health experts recommend! Green smoothies are an efficient, nutritious and delicious way to rapidly increase your fibre intake. There is a range of blenders to choose from. I have found that nearly all blenders will make a good green smoothie, even the hand held kitchen aid blenders will work. Here is a selection of some blenders that I have researched and consider to be the best buy for your money: Recommended blenders: UK/Europe Budget – Budget – Mid range – High End – Duronic BL400 Blender PhillipsHR2020/50 Philips HR2094 Blender Vitamix Total Nutrition Centre Blender USA/Canada Budget – Mid range – Mid range – High End – Black & Decker BL10450HB Oster 6812-001 KitchenAid 5-Speed Vitamix 5200 Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 101 www.timrobins.net About Green Smoothies Eating a plate of raw green leaves is not very appealing nor is it very tasty! This is where a standard food blender comes in very useful. Health pioneers such as Victoria Boutenko are introducing thousands of people around the world to the pleasures and health benefits of Green Smoothies! By blending approximately 50% fruit with 50% green leaves and adding a glass of water, you get all the nutrients of the greens but only the sweet taste of the fruits! These delicious drinks are so nutritious and balancing to the body that they form a crucial role in preventing and reversing disease. Don‟t delay; start making green smoothies a part of your daily routine. Green Smoothies have the following benefits: 1. Nutrient dense – you are taking raw greens and raw fruit which means a huge percentage of the nutrients inside will be absorbed by your body! This really is a super-food in a glass! 2. Highly alkalising – thanks to the chlorophyll in the greens 3. Packed with fibre – unlike vegetable juices from a juicing machine, smoothies include all the precious fibre that green leaves and fruits have to offer. This keep the intestines clean & your bowels regular 4. Helps to balance blood sugar – thanks to all that fresh fibre 5. Easy to make – all you need is a food blender, fruits, green leaves and a glass of filtered water 6. Easy to consume – you can consume far more greens in a single sitting than you could comfortably manage if you had to chew through it all using your teeth 7. Easy to digest & absorb – the blender does all the work in breaking the food right down, so your stomach gets a well deserved break, making it a highly absorbable and bioavailable Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 102 www.timrobins.net 8. Easy to clean up – It takes less than a minute to rinse out the blender jug and throw away the peelings 9. Affordable – just the initial cost of a blender, then just the cost of fruits and leafy greens (many of which you can get free from nature) 10. Taste fantastic – on top of everything else, green smoothies taste DELICIOUS! There is no effort or will power required to drink them as the fruit makes them taste divine.

I recommend Rainbow Light‟s Once-a-Day multivitamins. They also have a men‟s and a woman‟s formula and other formulas for specific ages and stages of life. The ingredients are plant based and well proportioned How does it work: The nutrients inside the pill are quickly broken down in the stomach and absorbed into your system in the intestines When should I do this: In the morning as part of your morning health ritual How long will this take: Less than 1 minute How often should I do this: Once a day, whether you consume a green smoothie or not Cautions: Men must avoid multivitamins with iron. Avoid all synthetic vitamin vitamins (such as Centrum), always choose „food state‟ vitamins/minerals Where can I get this: www.iherb.com, www.amazon.com, www.rainbowlight.com Cost: Low. Around $30-$40 for a 3 months supply. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 104 www.timrobins.net About Multivitamins As you have already read a number of times, our health NEEDS vitamins and minerals in order to prevent and reverse disease. We must either provide these nutrients through 1) a consistently nutritious diet (unlikely), 2) by way of supplements or, 3) we do neither and become deficient and get sick. Of these three, what‟s your choice going to be? As nutrition is not taught nor promoted in conventional medical training, asking your doctor‟s opinion of supplements is often of little use. Many doctors are still of the opinion that supplements are a marketing gimmick and largely unnecessary, yet medical literature proves otherwise. For example, a recent study has just measured the impact of supplementing vitamins B6, B9 and B12 in a group of 271 seniors (all over 70 year olds) with mild cognitive impairment. They all showed signs of age-related memory decline, but were not yet diagnosed with Alzheimer‟s. They gave half the group the vitamin B supplements for a two year period, while giving the other half a placebo. They performed MRI brain scans at the start and the end of the trial, making it perhaps the most thorough piece of research on this subject to date. Results showed a dramatic decrease in brain atrophy (shrinkage / wasting away) in the group given the vitamin B supplements, by as much as 53%! In other words the vitamin Bs slowed down the rate of brain shrinkage by as much as half! Without any expensive drugs or risks of side-effects, just with simple vitamin B supplementation! In covering this study the media described the amount of vitamins given as being „mega doses‟, yet the doses given can be found in any good quality multivitamin or vitamin B complex pill! But, because such amounts are several hundred percent higher than the Recommended Daily Allowance, they are therefore mistakenly considered to be huge doses! Do yourself a massive favour and take a high quality (plant-based, nonsynthetic) multivitamin each day. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 105 www.timrobins.net Vitamin C Your Immune System’s Best Friend Vitamin C – Your Immune System‟s Best Friend Quickview Why should I do this: Because vitamin C is essential for a healthy immune system, but our body cannot produce it itself, so it must come from our diet What are the benefits: Less colds, flu and infections, younger tighter skin (vitamin C is vital to collagen production), a healthy nervous system, reduced chances of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease What conditions can this help: Flu, fever, colds, infections, skin conditions, poor circulation, constipation, allergies, heart disease, cancers and most ailments What is it: Vitamin C, otherwise known as ascorbic acid, a potent antioxidant How does it work: Simply put 1 teaspoon of vitamin C powder in a glass of water, stir, allow it to settle and then drink What do I need: A good quality vitamin C powder, preferable pH buffered to help reduce the acidity associated with pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) When should I do this: In the morning or at night is best. I use the vitamin C drink to wash down my other supplements each morning. How long will this take: Less than 2 minutes How often should I do this: Every day, but especially during winter months, times of stress or when wanting to reverse a chronic disease Cautions: First seek advice from a qualified nutritionist if you suffer from gout, kidney stones, sickle-cell anaemia, iron storage disease or if you are pregnant or nursing Where can I get this: I recommend Nutri‟s C-Salts Vitamin C Powder or a cheaper option is: Now Foods C-1000 Cost: C Salts is $36 for 735grams, over 180 teaspoons of 4,000mg each, roughly a 6 month supply. Now Foods C-1000 is $17 for 250 tablets. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 106 www.timrobins.net About Vitamin C Vitamin C is an essential part of everyone‟s health. Our body requires the constant presence of vitamin C to help with a variety of key functions including: Immune support – keeps your white blood cells strong and active Antioxidant – helps neutralise harmful oxidation in the body Enzyme function – helping scar tissue to heal, cartilage renewal Collagen synthesis – essential for healthy skin If you smoke, eat fast foods or are under regular stress in your life (show me someone who isn‟t!) then it makes good sense to take vitamin C on a daily basis. It is virtually impossible to „overdose‟ on vitamin C. The body takes what it needs and passes the excess out through the urine. However, when deciding how much vitamin C to take do not follow the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) as set by the government health agencies! The RDA for most nutrients, vitamin C in particular, is so ridiculously low that it seems like a joke. Did you know that the RDA amounts are based upon the minimum amount of a nutrient necessary to prevent a deficiency disease from occurring in the population! Yes, that means that what you are recommended to take each day is in fact just enough to prevent a deficiency disease, such as scurvy, from occurring in your body! Enough nutrients to prevent serious disease is not the goal here folks, we are in need of an ABUNDANCE of nutrients so that all of our system has plenty to use whenever it needs them. US and UK RDA for vitamin C is between 60-95mg per day. Yet pioneers in the field recommend around 4,000mg per day for healthy functioning, and HIGHER amounts when under extreme stress or illness. That‟s over 40 times more vitamin C each day that government health agencies are recommending you to take! Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 107 www.timrobins.net The scientist most associated with vitamin C was the twice-Nobel-prize-winning Linus Pauling. Pauling spent decades meticulously researching the healing power of mega doses of vitamin C. His research showed how vitamin C mega-doses can be used to reverse cancers, heart disease and many other chronic illnesses without side effects. Pauling personally took between 13,000mg - 18,000mg of vitamin C per day himself as a preventative measure! He continued to take such amounts up into his 80‟s and 90‟s. Suddenly it is clear that the USA/UK RDA of 60-95mg per day is a ridiculously low amount to recommend people. Yes, just enough to prevent scurvy, but no where near enough to support outstanding health. Linus Pauling maintained his quick wit and razor sharp intellect right up until his death aged 93. I very much doubt he would have maintained such mental brilliance for so long by taking the government‟s RDA of vitamin C and other nutrients. What do you think? Yet getting sufficient vitamin C from foods alone is unlikely. A glass of raw orange juice, for example, provides around 124mg of vitamin C. You would need to drink over 30 glasses a day to get the 4000mg that a single teaspoon of C-Salts™ powder provides! Furthermore, if you were to try drinking that much orange juice, the high acidity and high sugar content would cause serious detriment to your teeth and your waistline.

Page 108 www.timrobins.net Magnesium Chloride Oil The Miracle Relaxing Mineral Quickview Magnesium Chloride – The Miracle Relaxing Mineral Why should I do this: Because magnesium is considered to be one of the most important minerals for our health and well-being, and most people are deficient in it because of the western diet and lifestyle. Magnesium chloride oil is the best form of magnesium for the body to absorb (through the skin). What are the benefits: Better sleep, better brain function, calmer mind, stronger bones, relaxed muscles, healthy heart, magnesium enables over 300 different metabolic processes What conditions can this help: High blood pressure, heart disease, arrhythmia, cardio-vascular disease, muscle cramps, restless legs, headaches, migraines, osteoporosis, arthritis, acidosis, constipation What is it: A naturally occurring magnesium solution found deep under ground How does it work: A handful of magnesium chloride oil is rubbed into the skin, or magnesium chloride flakes can be added to a bath What do I need: A natural source of magnesium chloride oil (see below) When should I do this: Mornings and/or before going to bed How long will this take: Less than 1-3 minutes to rub over your body How often should I do this: Every day after showering/bathing Cautions: If you suffer from kidney disease or serious heart disease consult with your doctor first. Avoid rubbing into damaged skin, cuts or burns as it can sting. Best to dilute with 50% water if stinging occurs. Where can I get this: USA/Canada – www.magneticclay.com UK/Europe – www.bronzeagenutrition.com Cost: Low – around $30-$40 for 500ml, enough for 3-4 months of daily use Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 109 www.timrobins.net About Magnesium Chloride Oil Magnesium is considered to be one of the most important minerals in our body. Necessary for over 300 metabolic processes to take place, magnesium is not only essential but greatly lacking in our modern diet. Magnesium levels are decreased in the body through taking pharmaceutical medications, drinking alcohol or coffee and by eating any form of white processed food (white sugar, white bread, white rice, white flour etc). If you eat any white processed foods at all it is almost certain that you will be deficient in magnesium. Magnesium deficiency contributes to migraines, muscle spasm, nervous disorders, restless leg syndrome, osteoporosis and more alarmingly arrhythmia, heart disease, high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. The best way to absorb magnesium is not by eating magnesium supplements, but by rubbing pure magnesium chloride oil into your skin. This is known as transdermal magnesium therapy. The magnesium is rapidly absorbed by the largest organ in your body (your skin) and magnesium levels can be fully replenished after three to four weeks of daily application. A family friend recently told me about his restless legs while lying in bed at night, so I recommended he try magnesium chloride oil. After just three days of application his wife called me to thank me for “saving their marriage”. To their great surprise he was no longer doing night time kung fu in bed and they were suddenly able to enjoy sleeping peacefully next to each other. Magnesium deficiency is also hugely associated with cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, arrhythmia, palpitations, high stress levels and anxiety. If you know someone with such aliments I highly encourage you to buy some good quality magnesium chloride oil as a gift. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 110 www.timrobins.net Most people do not realise that magnesium is essential for the uptake of calcium in the body. Without enough magnesium in your blood calcium cannot be properly absorbed by your bones, so it therefore tends to become deposited in the blood instead (making harder work for the heart). Western countries are at particularly high risk of cardiovascular disease as their diets are high in calcium and low in magnesium. The countries with the highest calcium to magnesium ratios (meaning high levels of calcium and low levels of magnesium intake), have the highest incidence of cardio-vascular disease. The top of that list is Australia, where they have a very high calcium intake and very low magnesium intake, cardiovascular disease is running out of control. The bottom of the list is Japan, where the magnesium levels are much higher and the numbers of cardiac disease and extremely low. In Japan, people eat much more sea vegetables, such as seaweeds, spirulina and chlorella – all of which provide high levels of magnesium. Ironically many westerners take calcium supplements and consume high amounts of dairy for fear of diseases such as osteoporosis (brittle bones), not knowing that it is a magnesium deficiency that they should be addressing. Contrary to popular belief, it is a magnesium deficiency that most contributes to weak bones, not a calcium deficiency per se. (For more on this topic, download an MP3 interview with Dr Mark Sircus below) Not only are calcium supplements largely unnecessary (as there is plenty of calcium in the standard western diet), but recent research shows that people who regularly take calcium have a 30% likelihood of suffering a heart attack! The added calcium minerals make the blood much thicker and therefore harder for the heart to pump. The eventual result is either a Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 111 www.timrobins.net heart attack, stoke or cancer (due to depleted oxygen levels in the thicker blood and narrower blood vessels).

All Rights Reserved. Page 113 www.timrobins.net About Omega 3 Oil (fatty acids) There are certain nutrients deemed „essential‟ as they are absolutely necessary for good health yet not produced by the body. Such essential nutrients must therefore come from our diet. If our diet is lacking in these nutrients our health quickly suffers. Unless you are eating oily fish, such as mackerel / salmon / sardines, three times per week you are likely to be deficient in omega 3. Omega 3 is considered by many health experts to be one of the most valuable nutrients for overall health. Omega 3 is needed in particular for good brain function, better memory, reducing stress, reversing depression and anxiety, relaxing the nervous system and improving the function of the digestive tract. Omega 3s are also well known for their anti-inflammatory properties, helping injury and swelling to heal swiftly. Certain foods such as nuts and flaxseed also provide high levels of omega 3s, but in the form of alpha-linoleic acid. Certain fish and krill, on the other hand, provide omega 3 fatty acids in the form of DHA and EPA, both of which have been proven to reverse heart disease. Therefore fish or krill based omega 3s are largely considered to be superior to plant based sources of omega 3. In the western world cardiovascular disease is the number one killer, followed by cancer. These two chronic diseases are both preventable and reversible, and omega 3s are an essential part of both processes. What’s the evidence: Video – What does EPA and DHA do for our health?

All Rights Reserved. Page 115 www.timrobins.net About Probiotics Probiotic bacteria are the so called „good bacteria‟ or intestinal flora that can be found in a healthy intestinal tract. These microorganisms help to break down the food we eat into its most basic elements, thereby maximising digestion and absorption. Intestinal flora also help to break down food matter in the process of digestion, helping it to pass more quickly through the GI tract so that the waste can be eliminated efficiently. Probiotics enable greater absorption which is a huge determinant of how healthy you are. Probiotics contain enzymes that help to extract the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients from our food thereby helping our intestines to absorb more nutrients from our food. Probiotics also contribute greatly to the functioning and effectiveness of the immune system. As mentioned before, over half our immune system is located in our intestinal tract! If you want to be resilient against flu and infections you had better support a healthy environment in your intestinal tract. This highly beneficial flora in the intestines is frequently wiped out when large amounts of antibiotics are taken. This leaves the gut without any of its natural defence against harmful bacteria, yeast and fungus. It doesn‟t take long for these highly toxic pathogens to spread through the intestines where they disrupt digestion, poison our system and contribute to a large number of disorders like yeast infections, skin rashes, stomach ache and poor digestion. Although probiotics are found naturally in miso, kimchi, unpasteurised living yoghurt and fermented soy products it is in such small quantities that they are of small benefit in this context. In the stressful and rushed lives that most of us lead, taking a good quality probiotic supplement each day is the most effective way of keeping our digestive tract in tip top condition. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 116 www.timrobins.net It is essential to take a probiotic supplement that is proven to get past the corrosive effects of stomach‟s hydrochloric acid. Cheaper probiotic supplements may well get burnt up in the stomach acid, making them virtually useless. Conditions that will respond well to taking probiotics: Acne Allergies Smelly bowel movements Candida/yeast infection Chronic fatigue Constipation Depression/foggy brain Diarrhoea Eczema, psoriasis Frequent colds/flu/infections Gas High cholesterol Indigestion Irritable Bowel Syndrome Leaky gut Regular stomach upset Symptoms of autism Symptoms of lactose intolerance Ulcerative Colitis Vaginitis Garden of Life produce excellent probiotics – Primal Defense and Primal Defense Ultra.

Particularly needed for people over 40 and anyone suffering from digestion related issues or chronic diseases. Enzymes are excellent addition to taking probiotics. What are the benefits: Higher rates of absorption of protein, carbohydrates, fats, minerals & vitamins. Less bloating/pain when overeating, eating on-themove or eating late at night. What conditions can this help: Indigestion, bloating, constipation, gas, acne, eczema, Crohn‟s disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, autism, multiples sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut, diverticulitis, allergies, depression, cancers What is it: Broad spectrum enzymes that the body requires in order to break foods down so they can be assimilated and utilised. How does it work: The enzymes start working as soon as they come into contact with chewed food that enters the stomach, breaking food down to enable feeding hundreds of metabolic processes essential for good health. What do I need: A good quality digestive enzyme. Having tested several brands, I am most impressed with the XXX brand. If you want/need the very best go for the Gold. If you need a good mid-range product try the Digest. When should I do this: Before each meal, especially lunch and dinner. How long will this take: Less than 1 minute How often should I do this: Every day, and especially when experiencing discomfort in your intestines. You can safely take enzymes indefinitely. Cautions: None that I am aware of. Start with a single pill before meals and test. You might need 2-3 pills per meal if your digestion is very sluggish.

Page 118 www.timrobins.net About Digestive Enzymes As the English nutritionist Patrick Holford mindfully states, “Contrary to popular belief, you are not what you eat, you are what you can absorb.” While buying, preparing and eating good quality food is an excellent thing to do, it may not be enough. If your digestive system is too weak to breakdown the food you put in it, the majority of the nutrient goodness will pass straight through you and into the toilet! Digestion actually starts in the mouth, with good chewing and plenty of saliva. The chewing breaks the food down into smaller and more digestible pieces and the saliva contains amylase that immediately starts to break down starches. Yet many people hardly chew their food at all, and then quickly wash it down with a large drink of cold liquid (iced drinks are a major cause of indigestion). This causes a huge amount of work for the stomach, and you‟ll often end up feeling suddenly tired after the meal. This is because blood is being sent from around the body to the stomach to help deal with the overload you have just given to your poor stomach. Added to this, the majority of the processed and cooked meals that we eat most days are very low in enzymes, if not empty of them altogether. So our system gets given heavy processed foods without the necessary „little helpers‟ that are needed in order to utilize the food. Then add to this the harmful effects of work and family stress. Most people in the western world can hardly find time for breakfast or a regular lunch, so they scoff some processed foods down quickly while mentally worrying and fretting about the latest looming deadline or issue. This elevated stress level releases adrenalin into the blood stream which further suppresses appetite and inhibits optimal digestion. The result of all of this put together, and then repeated daily for years, is that large masses of undigested and unassimilated food ends up slowly squeezing its way through the many meters of intestines. We end up feeling sluggish, irritable, constantly tired and prone to illness. The longer the food stays inside us, the more it starts to putrefy and breed bacteria, fungi and parasites. The gas produced by these parasitic organisms smells foul… so if you are producing foul smelling gas this is a Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 119 www.timrobins.net good indication that your digestive tract is in poor shape and in need of some digestive enzyme help. Over the age of 40 most people suffer a significant reduction in enzymes. If you have been experiencing digestive problems get some enzymes! Tips: Keep a second bottle of digestive enzymes in the car so you have them to hand when going out to eat. Go through the list of „1- Ways To Improve Your Digestion‟ found later in this chapter Conditions that respond well to taking digestive enzymes are very similar to those aided by taking probiotics. If you have suffered with poor digestion for years I recommend you take both: probiotics and enzymes: Acne Allergies Candida/yeast infection Chronic fatigue Constipation Depression/foggy brain Diarrhoea Eczema, psoriasis Frequent colds/flu/infections Gas High cholesterol Indigestion Irritable Bowel Syndrome Leaky gut Regular stomach upset Smelly bowel movements Symptoms of autism Symptoms of lactose intolerance Ulcerative Colitis Vaginitis Enzymedica produce excellent digestive enzymes. If you want the very best get the Digest Gold. If you want/need a good quality enzyme at a lower price go for Digest. If you have trouble digesting fats/oils, or you are battling excess fat, get Lipo Gold. Video on digestion and benefits of digestive enzymes: Video – Why do we need digestive enzymes?

The more acidic your blood the more disease will spread, and unfortunately most of the foods people are addicted to are highly acid forming in the body. Mental and emotional stress also alters the body‟s pH, making it more acidic. What are the benefits: More energy, better digestion, stronger immune system, better skin, less sickness, more vitality, clearer thinking What conditions can this help: Acid reflux, arthritis, cancers, flu and fevers, high blood pressure, heart disease, infections and for lactic acid aches What is it: Several products are known to have highly alkalising results: bicarbonate of soda and apple cider vinegar are two of the best How does it work: Both of these products produce a naturally occurring alkaline pH in the body. What do I need: Here are two effective options: 1) Bicarbonate of soda powder with lime juice and water and/or 2) Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in water When should I do this: In the morning, before food. During times of illness. How long will this take: Less than 2 minutes to prepare and drink How often should I do this: Daily, or as part of a cleansing program, or in times of excessive symptoms of over acidity Cautions: If you already have weak stomach acid/poor digestion, the ACV protocol may be a better choice as it is slightly acidic and will help digestion Where can I get this: www.iherb.com, www.amazon.com, www.ebay.com Cost: Low. Around $5 per bottle of bicarbonate of soda and around $15 per bottle of ACV Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 121 www.timrobins.net About Alkalising Your Body Another factor to take into account when pursuing outstanding health is that of pH, the acidity and alkalinity of our blood and tissues. pH stands for „potential of hydrogen‟ and it is a measurement of the acidity versus alkalinity of a substance or environment. For optimal health our internal environment should be just over the neutral mark, about 7.3 which is slightly leaning towards the alkaline side of the scale. Unfortunately, the foods that we enjoy consuming the most tend to be the most acidic! Sugar, fried foods, carbohydrates, meats, coffee/tea and alcohol are all highly acidic. Whereas the foods we tend to crave the least are highly alkalising: leafy greens (such as spinach and kale) and green vegetables (such as broccoli and cabbage). For a list of acid and alkaline forming foods see here: www.energiseforlife.com - acid vs alkaline foods list Ideally we should aim to stop eating all those acid-forming foods and commit to eating organic vegetables for the rest of our days, but such drastic action would be a highly stressful journey for most people! Instead, it makes much more sense to take a few additional steps each day to help keep your pH leaning towards the alkaline. It doesn‟t require you to abandon all of your favourite acid-forming foods, it just takes a little self-administered biochemistry to help balance your internal pH. Video – Dr Robert Young discussing the role of pH in health Video – Dr Robert Young discussing the pH miracle for diabetes Video – Dr Robert Young discussing the role of pH in weight loss There are two excellent alkalizing foods, both of which can be often found in a kitchen cupboard: organic apple cider vinegar and sodium bicarbonate (a.k.a „bicarbonate of soda‟ or „baking soda‟) Not to be confused with baking powder. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 122 www.timrobins.net Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Although apple cider vinegar is acidic in itself, when ingested it creates an alkalising residue in the body. It is frequently taken by athletes to help prevent and reverse excess lactic acid in the blood, tissue and muscles – a natural biproduct of intense exercise. Apple cider vinegar also has broad spectrum antifungal properties and can be used as part of an anti-Candida program when taken orally with water and also added to a distilled water enema. The most trusted brand is Bragg‟s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. For more details on how to use apple cider vinegar go here: www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/acvinegar.html www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/alkalizing_formulas.html One of the most trusted brands of apple cider vinegar is Bragg‟s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, available in health food shops worldwide and online. See www.amazon.com, www.iherb.com, www.ebay.com Sodium Bicarbonate The second great alkalizer and re-mineraliser is sodium bicarbonate. This simple compound is naturally alkaline and can be easily absorbed by the body. Sodium bicarbonate can be taken safely on an ongoing basis as a gentle way to help keep your pH balanced. Take a moment to watch the videos below and read through some of the links, to help you better appreciate how beneficial taking sodium bicarbonate can be for your health. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.

The Lime or Lemon Bicarbonate Alkalising Formula This simple formula will normalize many biological parameters including balancing of the body‟s pH and revitalising the antioxidant properties of vitamin C (so make sure you are putting vitamin C into your system too). It is a wonderful alkalizer that balances and energises the entire system. 1. 2. 3. 4. First, squeeze one whole lime or lemon into a glass. Slowly add 1 teaspoon of aluminium-free sodium bicarbonate Wait until fizzing stops, then top up the glass with filtered water Can be taken once or twice a day, morning and/or evening before bedtime, ideally on an empty stomach See here for some more alkalising ideas: www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/alkalizing_formulas.html Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.

However, there are some useful tips and guidelines to follow that will make a positive contribution to your health regarding food. You may well have heard some of these guidelines before, but they are worth repeating as making changes in our diet can often require regular reminders. 10 steps to better eating 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Replace white with brown: bread, flour, rice, pasta and sugar. Choose foods in their „whole state‟ (unprocessed and fresh) Choose organic produce when available/affordable Choose dairy products from goats and sheep, never from cows Food preparation: a. raw = most nutritious b. steaming = next best c. boiling/baking = less nutritious d. frying/microwaving/fast food = nutritionally empty & most toxic 6. Make at least 60% of your daily diet fresh fruits and vegetables 7. Eat fruits/vegetables that are in season and grown nearby 8. Get a balance of proteins, carbohydrates and good oils each day 9. Rotate your foods, avoid constantly eating the same dishes 10. Practise basic food combining principles Further to this, if you look on the ingredients section of any food label and it lists lots of unpronounceable words, don‟t buy it! Here is a list of a few such nasty ingredients that you want to avoid: Aspartame Butylated hydroxyanisold (BHA) Butylated hydrozyttoluene (BHT) Monosodium glutamate Propyl gallate Potassium bisulfite Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.

As you embark on your journey of supporting your physical health in new ways, it makes great sense to also support these other dimensions to some degree. In this final „how to‟ chapter I am going to introduce you to three extra tools, each of which is highly efficient at creating positive changes in the body and mind. I have personally gained great benefit from each of these tools and my hope is that they deliver similar benefit to you too. I have selected just one tool for each of the following areas: 1. developing better physical fitness 2. creating positive changes in your mind 3. releasing and resolving emotional stress I will be releasing future information products (eBooks and videos) which will go much deeper into how to resolve mental and emotional stress, but for now I would like to introduce these tools to you so that you can begin to get some benefit from them sooner rather than later.

It also has two other essential factors for exercising: it is affordable and convenient What are the benefits: Lymphatic detoxification, weight loss, increased stamina, toned abs & legs better balance, more energy, greater mental focus What conditions can this help: Exhaustion, lethargy, irritability, depression, frustration, anxiety, weight issues, arthritis and back pain What is it: A mini trampoline, which you repeatedly bounce up and down on How does it work: Bouncing strengthens the heart, develops muscle growth and, in particular, the moment of weightlessness at the top of the bounce moves the lymph through the body thereby helping in full body detoxification What do I need: A rebounder and a 1.5m x 1.5m space to place it in. Infirm, unfit, obese and elderly people would be advised to buy a rebounder with a built in hand rail for added balance When should I do this: In the morning is best, doing it before bed may make you restless as it is very energising How long will this take: Start with 5 minutes and aim to gradually increase your rebounding time to a solid 15 to 20 minutes at a time How often should I do this: At least 3 mornings per week Cautions: First check with a health professional if you have any pain you think might be made worse by rebounding. Start slowly and gently. Begin with just a few minutes and build up at your own pace. Most people are chronically dehydrated, so drink plenty of water before and after.

Page 131 www.timrobins.net About Rebounding There are many forms of exercise, but some stand out as being more effective than others. Rebounding is recognised as one of the most beneficial forms of exercise ever discovered. It is also one of the safest as there is no shocking impact to the joints (such as with jogging), thereby avoiding damage to the shins, knees and ankles. Rebounding has been famously recommended by NASA as “the most efficient form of exercise yet devised by man”, and that endorsement alone should be enough for you to at least give it a go for a month. It involves standing on a mini-trampoline and repeatedly bouncing (or rebounding) up and down for 5-20 minutes. This form of exercise produces many health benefits: Health benefits of rebounding moves the lymph, aiding in detoxification and immune support raises the heart beat, strengthening the cardiovascular system strengthens the muscles of the legs, hips all at once helps to reduce arthritic pains and joint deterioration reduces and reverses the symptoms of osteoporosis does not impact the joints with any shock impact develops balance and coordination Practical benefits of rebounding very efficient way of keeping fit great way to quickly balance intense periods of work/study can be done in the convenience of your own home can be done regardless of the weather/outside temperature an affordable piece of equipment doesn‟t require additional equipment to be used requires less then 2 meters square to set up very safe for your body, low chance of injury takes up little room when stored on its side Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.

( 3 minutes) Video – Examples of rebounding from a training DVD (4 minutes) Video – Benefits of rebounding with Dr Hans Gruenn (5 minutes) Video – 30 minute rebounding routine: intermediate level and up How to make it easier to do regularly? As you surely know already, making a habit of regular exercise is something easier said than done; that‟s why rebounding is such a great exercise to do. It is one of the few exercises which you can do in your living room or bedroom in front of the television. Personally, I love to start my day by putting on some uplifting, inspiring or educational video and watching it while rebounding. Before I know it, 20 minutes has passed in a flash! At other times, when the weather permits, I take the rebounder outside and enjoy the sounds of nature while bouncing up and down. After just 15-20 minutes of rebounding my head feels clear, refreshed and relaxed. The rebounding motion seems to work wonders on the entire body and mind, leaving you feeling ready to start your day the way you would like to. It‟s also a great way to re-energise the brain and body while in the midst of a busy day in front of a computer or at work. Another motivational method to try is to rebound while listening to your MP3 player. Again you might choose to listen to some uplifting music or some empowering audio. Personally, I love to fill my head with inspirational audio programs, check out Soundstrue.com for such audio. Rebounding will give you a headache if you are dehydrated, so drink a large glass 10 minutes before and immediately after rebounding. Ladies with large breasts are advised to invest into a sports bra to avoid unnecessary pain. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved.

Positive subliminal messages are proven to activate this massive potential power that lies underneath the surface of the conscious mind. What are the benefits: Faster and easier changes in your habits, thoughts and behaviour without having to consciously „try harder‟ What conditions can this help: Breaking negative habits and thoughts, building empowering habits and positive thoughts, overcoming fears / phobias / worries / stress / frustrations, accelerated physical healing, enhanced mental/physical performance in sports/business/relationships/skills What is it: Purpose-designed subliminal MP3 audio tracks that can be played on any MP3 playing device. Each track is encoded with specific messages. How does it work: Inaudible positive statements which are hidden within music/sounds. The conscious mind cannot detect them so they pass directly into the sub/unconscious where they are readily accepted as being true What do I need: High quality subliminal audio, preferably which focuses on the specific topic you‟d like to change/support When should I do this: Anytime: morning, midday or evening. How long will this take: Many people report noticeable changes and improvements after listening for just 20 minutes a day for 2-4 weeks How often should I do this: Every day or as you choose. There is no evidence to suggest you can „over do it‟ with positive subliminals. Cautions: For best results don‟t cram in too many different topics at the same time, better to focus on one specific topic for several weeks at a time Where can I get this: www.realsubliminal.com Cost: Low. Around $10 per topic. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 134 www.timrobins.net About Subliminal Support It was psychologist Sigmund Freud who first compared the human mind to an iceberg. The part that we are aware of, can talk about and compare is the conscious mind. The irony is that, as this is the only part that we are aware of, we mistakenly assume that this is all of who we are. So it comes as quite a surprise to most people when they learn that most experts estimate the conscious mind to be about just 5% of our mind; the other 95% being the mighty unconscious mind. Yet we are not taught as children, nor as adults, how to tap into this vast potential source of power. Instead 99.99% of our efforts to create change come from conscious effort. This is the realm of willpower, discipline, positive mental attitude, trying harder, making lists, hoping and doing other conscious tasks in an attempt to force old habits out and build new habits in. This can be done, but it is very hard work! It makes much more sense to draw upon the colossal power of the unconscious mind. One way of doing this is through subliminal influence. By playing subliminal (consciously undetectable) positive messages into the ears powerful changes can be made without any conscious effort being required. While the conscious mind is aware of just the audible sounds coming in, the unconscious mind is able to detect and „absorb‟ the hidden empowering statements. Examples of such statements could be, “I feel relaxed and calm” or “I find speaking in front of crowds easy and enjoyable” or “I fall to sleep easily every night”. I have found a website that offers over one hundred different specific topics to choose from, each product has individually tailored wording in order to create better, more specific, results. The website is www.realsubliminal.com I have used several of their downloaded MP3 products and I have experienced noticeable benefits in the areas of self discipline, financial abundance and feeling more compassionate towards myself. For just $12 Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 135 www.timrobins.net or so per program it is affordable and well worth trying for at least a few weeks. I recommend choosing a single program, purchasing it, downloading it and putting it onto a portable MP3 player. Keep the MP3 player with you and play the subliminal tracks throughout your day whenever time permits. Each program also has a silent track, with which there is no audible sound at all, but it still contains the powerful subliminal messages. You can set your MP3 player on loop and have the silent track play continuously throughout the night while you sleep! If you are looking for deeper behavioural changes in a shorter period of time I would encourage you to invest into a course of sessions with a qualified hypnotherapist. Therapeutic hypnosis has been used for over one hundred years to help people improve their healing capacities, and emotional wellbeing and to enhance performance. Athletes, sports professionals, performance artists, business professionals and individuals undergoing surgery without anaesthetic have all demonstrated the incredible power of activating the potential of the unconscious mind. Considered by many to be the most talented golfer of all time, Tiger Woods is well known for undergoing performance-enhancing hypnosis prior to his golf tournaments. If it‟s good enough for one of the world‟s greatest athletes, it‟s certainly good enough for us mere mortals. If you would prefer to work with a professional hypnotherapist, you would do well to begin searching through these recognised organisations: UK + Global - www.hypnotherapistregister.com USA - www.aaph.org Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.

Page 136 www.timrobins.net Emotional Freedom Technique Emotional Relief At Your Fingertips Quickview EFT – Emotional Relief At Your Fingertips Why should I do this: Because EFT is the simplest, most effective and most immediate way to release emotional and mental stress What are the benefits: Immediate and lasting relief from a wide range of mental, emotional and physical pains What conditions can this help: Anxiety, worry, phobias, frustration, anger, resentment, excessive mental chatter, low self esteem, migraines, persistent physical aches and pains. The list of conditions EFT will help is almost endless What is it: A therapeutic emotional version of acupuncture, where the meridians energy points are stimulated with tapping rather than with needles. How does it work: As the energy points are stimulated, energy moves through them which immediately decreases the intensity of mental/emotional stress, providing relief from emotional blockages What do I need: Either a skilled EFT practitioner or the desire to learn EFT yourself. Most EFT practitioners can work over the phone or Skype When should I do this: In times of prolonged stress, very useful during relationship hardships, death of a loved one or the end of a relationship or when old negative mental or emotional patterns keep resurfacing How long will this take: Results are often immediate, but deeper lifelong issues may taken several sessions for lasting results How often should I do this: As and when you welcome some stress relief Cautions: Sometimes tapping can stir up unresolved emotions from the past, which can feel unnerving, so use the assistance of a certified EFT practitioner to help you release any persistent issues that arise Cost: Medium. Most practitioners charge $60 -$100 per 1 hour session. Lifechanging results often occur in just a few sessions with a skilled practitioner. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 137 www.timrobins.net About Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Oh my goodness, EFT, where do I begin? EFT is quite simply one of the most incredible healing tools that I have ever discovered in my entire life. EFT is a therapeutic tool that helps people to let go of unwanted feelings so that they can experience greater internal peace and relaxation. Unlike psychotherapy or counselling which tries to understand problems analytically, EFT works on the deeper level of releasing the underlying energetic patterns that keep us stuck in emotional issues. It can be considered an emotional version of acupuncture, but without needles. Specific acupuncture points are stimulated by tapping on them with the fingers. The tapping activates the body‟s energetic system, otherwise known as the meridians (as shown in the photo on the previous page). While tapping these points you focus your mind and words onto the issue at hand, whether it be a mental, emotional or physical issue. Then something incredible happens; the energy starts to move and the emotional intensity begins to disperse and decrease. Problems, pains and worries start to melt away before your very eyes! It sounds like hocus pocus doesn‟t it! I used to think the same….until I experienced the most welcome relief of EFT first hand. I still remember my first EFT session with a practitioner at a healing centre. As he led me through certain stressful parts of my life story while tapping, I simply couldn‟t compute how these long held issues were melting away in front of my own eyes. I left that session a changed man: lighter, happier and on a mission to learn this life changing technique for myself! Not only is it highly effective in the hands of a skilled EFT practitioner, it is also incredibly easy to learn for your own self use. I don‟t know of another Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 138 www.timrobins.net therapy with which anyone can release their own emotional and physical pains (such as migraines, joint aches, tight chest etc) with such little training. EFT can be learned and beneficially applied to a real life issue by anyone in less than 20 minutes! If you have fingers to tap with and the capacity to remember just 10 specific tapping points you are well on your way to being able to learn and apply EFT on any issue you choose. After a bit of practice you‟ll be able to apply it on friends and family to help them too. I have used EFT to eliminate in myself: physical pains, sea sickness, getting rid of a spider phobia, cravings, releasing emotional stress following the break up of a long term relationship, quietening an overactive mind when wanting to get to sleep, releasing the intensity of several painful childhood memories and I continue to use it on a regular basis should any unwanted emotions appear from day to day. Because EFT works on releasing the energy behind emotions, it does not require you to have to understand intellectually why the problem is a problem in the first place. There is no clever psychoanalysis necessary when doing EFT, you simply feel the emotional pain and put some words to it while tapping the EFT points around your body. I firmly believe that „emotional toxins‟ (such as anger, fear, guilt, resentment, shame, etc) are MORE detrimental to our overall well being than any physical disease and just as toxic as any other toxin already mentioned in this eBook! I am convinced beyond any doubt that emotional toxins are a key underlying cause of physical disease. Yet, tell your doctor that you are feeling depressed or stressed and he/she is likely to offer you a prescription drug to chemically manipulate your brain! Suggest to a doctor that your emotions could be causing your physical sickness and many doctors will reject such a „wild‟ suggestion as nonsense without giving it two seconds of consideration. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 139 www.timrobins.net Allopathically trained doctors often misinterpret „negative‟ emotions as being some sort of random or inconvenient annoyance which should be pushed aside or kept at bay chemically (i.e. Prozac, Zoloft etc). Whereas holistically trained practitioners tend to recognise emotions as being important communications directly from your unconscious mind. They also tend to place greater value on the role of emotions in our overall health. Emotional feelings tell us what is going on within our unconscious mind. Ignore your emotions or try to suppress them at your own peril! Painful emotions and negative thought patterns can easily form into habitual patterns of unwanted thoughts and destructive behaviours. Such patterns will keep playing themselves out until some form of therapeutic intervention is made. EFT is one such therapeutic intervention. It is simple, fast, effective and (like acupuncture) it works whether you believe in it or not! I encourage you to try something new by gifting yourself a couple of EFT sessions with an experienced/certified EFT practitioner in the coming weeks. Start by watching this introductory video to EFT: Video – Official EFT Introduction video (8 minutes) Video – How to do EFT tapping on yourself, with Tim (15 minutes) Where can I find a certified EFT practitioner?

All Rights Reserved. Page 140 www.timrobins.net Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Putting It All Into Action Putting It All Into Action “The journey is the reward.” Chinese Proverb In this chapter you will learn: Ideas on where and how to begin How to choose products How to create a future vision of success Some ideas on sharing this with others Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 141 www.timrobins.net Where To Start So here we are, equipped with lots of new tools and protocols to experiment with. With so many new options available to you it should come as no surprise if you find yourself asking, “But where do I begin with all of this?” The great news is that there is no universally correct answer to that question. That means there is no single right answer. That in turn means whatever steps you start with you can‟t go wrong! All of the tools listed in this eBook work well with each other. There are very few instances I can think of where you shouldn‟t mix certain tools together and I have put cautions where protocols should not be used together. As you begin to bring some of these new tools into your life, I encourage you to practice something that may sound strange to you. I‟m going to suggest that you feel into where to begin rather than just thinking about where to begin. You are surely familiar with „gut feelings‟ or an „intuitive sense‟, as you most likely experience such feelings every day of your life; but acting on them is a different issue altogether. If you have experienced such gut feelings about any of the products or protocols covered here, I urge you to act on those feelings without too much mental analysis. All of the tools in this eBook support health and all of them are considered safe for the great majority of people to use and benefit from. Nevertheless it is always wise to consult with a professional health practitioner prior to making any significant changes to your diet, supplementation or lifestyle. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 142 www.timrobins.net Design Your Own Health Timetable I encourage you to take 10 minutes or so to create a personalised plan/timetable. From this plan you can choose and order the tools/steps which you want to begin with. There are several general ways to approach designing a personalised health plan. 1. You could start with your existing timetable and look for times when you can fit additional steps into it or around existing commitments 2. You could start from scratch and build a new weekly/monthly program which incorporates the tools of most interest to you 3. You could start by designing a program around an existing health challenge you are dealing with, prioritising the outcome you want Don‟t try to squeeze everything from this eBook into your life all at once. Too much change too soon is rarely welcomed by the body or by the mind. As they say, “Rome was not built in a day” and neither is good health. So start with things that are comfortable, affordable and realistic to your current situation. Rather than sprinting with hope of reaching a finish line just over the horizon, I encourage you to go slowly and to enjoy the journey. There is no finish line or fixed destination to aim for. Instead, physical and emotional well-being is a journey to be experienced and appreciated throughout your life. Creating Your Health Timetable & Health Rituals Creating A Morning and Evening Ritual The more you practice doing something the easier it becomes to do. A ritual is something we do so often that it becomes almost automatic, like brushing our teeth. Such steps can require frequent reminders and lots of mental effort in the beginning, but after some repeated practice, it takes on a momentum of its own which allows us to do it every day without much effort. On the following pages are examples some morning and evening rituals that you could try doing: Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 143 www.timrobins.net An Example Morning Ritual An Example Morning Ritual Upon waking up: 1. Drink a large glass of filtered water (2 minutes) 2. Use a rebounder (5 to 20 minutes) 3. Do oil pulling while showering (10 minutes) 4. Brush your teeth (3-5 minutes) 5. Rub magnesium chloride into skin after showering, before getting dressed (3 minutes) 6. With a glass of filtered water, take: (3 minutes) o 1 multivitamin tablet o 1 teaspoon of vitamin C powder / 2 x 1000mg pills o 1-2 omega 3 capsules o 1-3 probiotic capsules 7. Make and drink a green smoothie (5-10 minutes) 8. Pour any extra green smoothie into a thermos and bring it to work (2 minutes) 9. Fill your water bottle with freshly filtered water, ready for work (2 minutes) Enjoy an energised and productive day at work Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved.

Notice any lingering worries or frustrations from your day and apply some EFT tapping to them (5-10minutes) 7. Listen to a subliminal mp3 (15-30 minutes) Enjoy a good night’s sleep Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved. Page 145 www.timrobins.net Example of How to Support Your Immune System During Sickness An Example Of Supporting Your Immune System In times of infection, flu or fever: 1. Drink a glass of filtered water every hour. Dehydration is a core part of any sickness so keep your fluid levels high. If you have an ozone machine, ozonate each glass of water for 5-10 minutes before drinking. 2. Take 3-5 drops of (pre-diluted) oil of oregano onto your tongue in the morning, lunchtime and evening. 3. If the problem feels more in the stomach/intestines, you may also want to take 1-3 tablespoons of Zeolite/Bentonite clay with psyllium husk in water per day. Avoid taking any supplements/remedies for at least 1 hour after taking Zeolite or Bentonite clays, as the clay will absorb them before they can deliver any benefit to your system. 4. Colloidal Silver can be drunk throughout the day, or sprayed into ears, nose, throat and eyes if necessary. See the Colloidal Silver section for dosage guidelines. 5. If you have the strength for it, a coffee enema is recommended as it will clear out toxins in the colon and help to detoxify the liver. 6. Apply the Silver Pulser for up to 2 hours per day. Drink plenty of water during and after to help flush out the disabled pathogens. 7. Avoid meats, dairy, fried foods, white breads, biscuits, sugar, tea, coffee, alcohol and soda drinks. If you are hungry have a green smoothie. Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins. All Rights Reserved.

You have reached the end of this eBook and the beginning of a new path towards greater health and well being. As you embark upon your own personal journey, I encourage you to dear some of the following in mind: Transforming your health is a process that takes time. So move steadily at a comfortable pace. We are often our own worse critic. Notice when you are placing too much expectation on yourself or on your progress, take a deep breath in, let it out, smile and let go of all that expectation. Not everything works in the same way for everyone. Your body IS different from those around you, so take time to notice how each change you make effects YOUR health. If you have tried many body-oriented treatments and protocols but a certain condition is still not responding well, try approaching it from another angle – the mental/emotional aspect. EFT sessions can play a key role in physical, mental and emotional healing. Find like-minded people to enjoy this journey with. Pledge a commitment for better health with a friend and do it together. Keep referring to this eBook and investigate the relevant links I wish you great joy and fun along your journey towards new found health, greater energy and a happier mind. I shall be launching a range of related „how to‟ videos over the coming months, so visit my website – www.timrobins.net to sign up for further details. Wishing you well, Copyright © 2012 Tim Robins.
