This chapter explores the common causes and remedies for muscle cramps, emphasizing the importance of identifying the underlying cause, such as magnesium deficiency or dehydration. We discuss how modern agricultural practices have led to mineral deficiencies and suggest taking magnesium supplements, like Bioptimizers’ Magnesium Breakthrough, to address this issue. Hydration is also highlighted as crucial, with recommendations to start the day with water, possibly enhanced with lemon or mineral salt, to prevent dehydration. The benefits of regular water fasting are also covered, highlighting how it allows the body to heal and reset by reducing the digestive load.

(0:23:59) – Understanding Back Pain and Detoxification (8 Minutes)
This chapter explores the journey into chiropractic and the broader understanding of spinal health. I share my personal story of discovering chiropractic after experiencing its benefits as a patient, which led to a career dedicated to addressing not just pain, but underlying spinal issues that can progress without noticeable symptoms. I discuss my efforts to establish chiropractic education in Latin America and my experiences sharing spinal health insights through various media outlets. My journey also includes overcoming severe mercury toxicity due to improperly removed dental fillings, which sparked an interest in functional medicine. I outline my detoxification process and emphasize the importance of liver and gut health, using methods such as colonics, saunas, and natural binders. For those interested in detox protocols, I provide resources on my webpage, emphasizing the need for awareness of parasitic levels and heavy metal toxicity.
(0:32:07) – Optimizing Wellness Through Spinal Health (7 Minutes)
This chapter addresses the importance of early intervention in managing biomechanical problems, especially in young athletes, to prevent long-term damage. I draw an analogy between misaligned car wheels and untreated spinal issues, emphasizing the need for regular check-ups with chiropractors or physiotherapists. Sharing my personal journey, I recount my own back surgery experience, a microdiscectomy, and how it led me to create an e-book, “Stronger Than Ever,” to guide others post-surgery. Despite challenges like mercury toxicity and chronic diarrhea possibly stemming from early antibiotic use, I stress the value of learning from health crises to prioritize wellness through detox, exercise, and maintaining positive relationships. Ultimately, I encourage embracing surgery if needed, believing in the body’s resilience, and fostering a mindset of continuous improvement and energy conservation.
(0:38:38) – Balancing Gut Health Naturally (4 Minutes)
This chapter explores the importance of maintaining a balanced biological terrain to combat parasites and improve overall health. I highlight the benefits of using natural remedies, such as Parox by Symbiotica, a natural antibiotic, and spore-based probiotics like Just Thrive and Seed, which are essential for promoting gut health. We also discuss the role of diet, emphasizing the need to avoid acidic foods, processed items, and simple carbohydrates that lack nutritional value. To support an alkaline environment in the body, I suggest using good quality baking soda and alkaline water with a pH of 9.5. Furthermore, I share insights on how mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be beneficial, particularly in cases of mercury toxicity and anaerobic conditions, by introducing oxygen to the bloodstream.

We share personal stories of its impact, including a transformative experience with a family member’s cancer journey. Additionally, we touch on the importance of fundamental lifestyle factors such as movement, hydration, and nutrition in maintaining health and promoting longevity.
