<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8216;How to get well and stay well&#8217; </span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">protocol</span></strong></span></p>
<div>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>Make certain you join the  Livingnetwork <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/yahoo_group1.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Yahoo e-mail group</span></a> for much needed support throughout this process. Participation is free and this is where you can ask questions, share information and offer support. The value of these support groups cannot be underestimated. Since no medical questions can be answered by us<strong>,</strong> for legal and practical reasons, the forum allows you to converse with each other about these protocols and any other health-related information.</em> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Go through each cleanse/test systematically and slowly. Don’t take short cuts – it can take a long time to detox your body and if you go too fast you will ultimately slow things down (people with serious illness e.g. cancer and HIV/AIDS may need to go faster). Committed people usually take approximately two years to get through this process. Oral chelation deserves special mention, because this is always a slow process no matter how ill you are. Incorporate each of the other steps as you are able too, depending on your individual situation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Continue cycling through the organ cleanses twice a year ideally (<a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/annual-cleansing-calander/">see annual cleansing calendar</a>). The ultimate reward is sustainable good health, especially when accompanied with the appropriate lifestyle changes. DO NOT neglect the <a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/dr-clarks-clean-ups/dental-clean-up/">full dental clean-up</a> – it is the most important part of the process, along with addressing your water. Results will be limited if your dental work is not done. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It is helpful to have a copy of  <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/books.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></a><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/books.html">Dr Hulda Clark&#8217;s </a><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/books.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">books</span></a> on hand if you wish to take full advantage of the cleansing protocols. Organ cleanses are not new, they have formed part of cleansing procedures used by mankind for thousands of years, and were only lost with the advent of ‘modern’ medicine. They are used by natural therapies across the board for health optimisation, are inexpensive, and exceedingly effective. Cleansing is just like taking a shower on the inside of your body. Why wouldn’t you want to?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/parasites.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Parasites</span></a>, blocked organs and <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/dental_clean-up.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">dental  issues</span></a> can mimic (or cause) almost any health condition you can imagine and you could find yourself ‘curing’ ailments that you thought, or were told, you ‘had to live with’. Cleaner organs allow your body to self-regulate and heal on its own, and many of the so called age-related illnesses are simply due to parasites, dental issues (toxicity) and/or blocked up bowels, kidneys and livers. Organs that are functioning optimally without the paralysing effect of toxins are your best guarantee for optimal health. Water that is free of toxins is the most important fuel for your system. Your body is fully capable of keeping itself healthy as long as its vital organs are regularly cleansed. </span></div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Remember, it has taken a long time for the organs to accumulate waste within them to levels that interfere with their function, and it can take some time to clean them too. The effects of the cleanses are accumulative and become more effective with each successive one. A common mistake is to stop the process before the real changes have had a chance to take hold which often requires a multiple of cleanses to have been completed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are only able to  start with, and maintain, the <strong>parasite cleanse</strong>, that is a great start, and it will benefit your health immeasurably! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Please take responsibility for your own health and decide if you resonate with this work before engaging in it. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">We<strong> </strong>have found the following approach to  be the best global approach to <strong>getting well and staying well. </strong><strong> </strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The basic principles of this protocol are:</span></strong></span></div>

<h4><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Further explanation of each  step:<strong> </strong><strong> </strong></span></h4>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>1. </strong>Obtain a <strong>stool test </strong>with an appropriate practitioner<strong> </strong>to properly assess bowel ecology and function. This is an excellent way to assess the beneficial flora and non-beneficial pathogens, that are present in your gut. The stool test will determine if you have overgrowth of any ‘bad’ bacteria or yeast, such as candida. The medical term for this is gut dysbiosis, which means, an altered gut ecology. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Other factors that can be assessed by a  good stool test include: gut inflammation (<em>&#8216;Cal protectin&#8217;</em> is the  inflammatory marker), bowel cancer (<em>&#8216;M2PK&#8217; </em>is the cancer marker), leaky gut &amp; gut  immunity (&#8216;<em>Sec IgA&#8217;</em> is the immunity marker) and ulcer causing bacteria  (&#8216;<em>Helicobacter pylori</em>&#8216;). Using the test results can make a substantial difference quickly to your sense of well-being and health. Stop all pro-biotics and other non-essential supplements a week before your stool test.<br />
</span></p>
<div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If there is any reason why you cannot get a stool test at this stage, simply begin to take a good quality/high potency <strong>pro-biotic </strong>daily. Maintain this for a few months, follow a <a href="http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu2_2_1.php">candida diet</a>, and consider yeast elimination strategies e.g. oregano oil, grapefruit seed extract, coconut oil etc (take care with introducing these products too fast to avoid die-off symptoms).<em> </em></span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>South  Africa:</em> Contact <a href="http://www.synexabioanalytics.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Synexa labs </span></a>for more information about how to contact a practitioner in South Africa for a stool test. The cost of the stool test includes proper treatment with certain beneficial bacteria that are not commercially available, such as physiological (good) E.Coli. At the bare minimum request that the following be tested: Flora, Sec IgA and Cal Protectin (about R1100). </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>USA</em>, the best test is the <a href="http://www.metametrix.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Metametrix</span></a> GI Effects  stool test, and can be ordered without a doctor through <a href="http://www.directlabs.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Direct Labs</span></a>.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>2. </strong><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">Once you have done a stool test,</span><strong> </strong>start the<strong> <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/parasite_cleanse.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">parasite  cleanse</span></a></strong><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><strong> </strong> (taking these herbs before the stool test may influence the result). We suggest that you do not use Dr Clark&#8217;s </span><strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/zapper.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">zapper</span></a></strong><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">, until all the dental metals are removed.</span> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It takes 3 weeks to finish the parasite cleanse and thereafter you shift to <strong>maintenance dose </strong>(a once-a-week dose) to remain parasite-free indefinitely. Once on the maintenance dose, you are always ready to start the organ cleanses. Many people do the initial parasite cleanse and don’t continue with the maintenance dose, but since we are constantly picking up parasites it is a futile approach. Until the parasites are dealt with, you don’t really know what you are dealing with from a health perspective.<br />
</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 60px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong> </strong></span></div>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/zapper.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">zapper </span></a>is a small hand-held and portable bio-electronic device powered by a small 9V battery. It was developed by the late Dr Hulda Clark, and is one of the main thrusts behind her popularity. It introduces a specific frequency into the body that has the effect of killing pathogens within minutes, by resonating with their signature frequencies. This works in the same way as when an opera singer reaches the resonant frequency of a glass object, causing it to shatter.<br />
When parasites are killed in the body with the herbal parasite cleanse they release their own parasites, bacteria and viruses – the zapper mops up released pathogens, plus the electrical current reaches into places that the herbs can’t get to. You should ultimately take your weekly Maintenance parasite herbs all together in a single dose during a zapping session, however, our experience is that all metals should be removed prior to incorporating the zapper into your parasite clearing program.<br />
When used in  conjunction with the <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/parasite_cleanse.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">parasite  cleanse</span></a> the combined effects are extremely potent, whether you are  intending to maintain good health, or to cure <em>dis-ease</em>. Investing in a zapper is like investing in a life-time supply of the most effective anti-biotic ever known , that no ‘bug’ within reach of the current can resist and is safe for you and your whole family to use.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">When you start the parasite cleanse, if you have no metals in your mouth, zap simultaneously for 10 days in a row, and then zap properly once-a-week when you take the maintenance herbs. That is the minimum zapping, but you can zap more frequently if you desire, and especially if ill.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>3. </strong>Go to an x-ray department  or dentist and order a <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/pan.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Panoramic (PAN) x-ray </span></a></strong>so you know what ‘dentistry’ is present inside your mouth. You do not need to get a doctors approval for this and make sure the machine is new enough to give you digital copies, which are best so you can keep them on file and e-mail them around for support.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Panoramic x-rays can be done at some dentists and will give you a clear indication what dentistry is in your mouth – root canals, metal crowns and mercury amalgams (silver fillings) and mercury tattoos (mercury lodged in gum tissue). Cavitations from previous extractions will seldom show up on x-ray and can NEVER be ruled out by an x-ray. It is best to get a digital PAN and get the dentist to e-mail you a copy for future reference.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>4.   Begin tracking </strong>your  <strong>daily temperatures</strong>. The thyroid and the adrenals control your metabolic temperatures, and they are in turn controlled by your hypothalamus. Mercury preferentially poisons all three. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Learn why your body temperatures are so important by reading the <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/body_temperature.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">body temperature  page</span></a>. The normal <strong>healthy </strong>body has an <strong>average </strong>daily temperature of 37 degrees Centigrade (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). This is obtained by taking three oral temperature readings (taken under the tongue) at 9am, noon and 3pm – and then obtaining an average (by adding the three temperatures together and dividing by three). Whether you are living in Antarctica or the Kalahari desert, your temperature should be 37 degrees to be optimally healthy. However, when your metabolism is in trouble your temperatures will vary. They could be: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">fluctuating/variable average temperatures (indicating <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/adrenals_thyroid.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">adrenal system  problems</span></a>) or </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">low average temperatures (indicating <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/thyroid_problems.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">thyroid system  problems</span></a>) or, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">low and fluctuating (indicating thyroid <span style="text-decoration: underline;">and</span> adrenal system  problems).</span></li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Ideally you should be on some adrenal and thyroid support (if you need it) and your temperatures should be moving towards <span style="text-decoration: underline;">37 and stable </span>before beginning the dental clean-up and oral chelation. However, since this is not always practically viable (since it can take a long time to achieve this), nor possible, due to the interference of hypothalamic control by mercury. At least make sure you are on some form of adrenal support before starting the process (even using an Adrenal Cortex/Glandular support will go along way to preventing a &#8216;dental-induced collapse&#8217;). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">To measure temperatures, obtain a <a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=70&amp;products_id=207"><span style="color: #0000ff;">mercury-free  thermometer such as the Geratherm</span></a> (digital  thermometers are not accurate enough). To start the process,  download: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/files/temperature_chart.pdf"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Metabolic temperature graph and  recording page</span></a>. This graph can be printed and  used in order to create easy temperature graphs. Also, go to <a href="http://www.drrind.com/tempgraph.asp"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Dr Rind’s metabolic  temperature</span></a> page for an in depth explanation  of what to do. And/or download.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>5. <a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/chelationnetwork/hairtest/ordering-a-hair-test/">Order a </a></strong><a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/chelationnetwork/hairtest/ordering-a-hair-test/"><strong>hair test </strong></a>to check your toxic  metal load and saliva &amp; blood tests to assess your <strong>adrenal </strong>and <strong>thyroid </strong>function.<strong> Hair tests </strong>are wonderful screening and diagnostic tools. They can give you a lot of information about your general health and pick up many hidden toxic elements which are often behind health issues. They are advised by Andy Cutler to check for mercury poisoning that causes ‘deranged mineral transport’ in your body. Other metals and toxins are also tested for, which can also be the roots of illness. Hair tests can give you an overall indication of your mineral balance and pick up adrenal and thyroid issues long before they appear on lab tests.<strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>6</strong>.  Assess your <a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/hormones/adrenal-fatigue/"> <strong>adrenal </strong></a>and <a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/hormones/thyroid-problems/"><strong>thyroid </strong></a>function  individually.<strong> </strong>For adrenals  use cortisol saliva tests and for thyroid use blood testing.<strong> </strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">It is strongly advised to make certain that your adrenals and thyroid are in good states of function before beginning</span> the <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/dental_clean-up.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">dental cleanup</span></a> (see  below), and <span style="color: #0000ff;">chelating metals </span>out of your body.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This is the most commonly overlooked problem and can make a big difference to your overall health. Healthy adrenals and thyroids support your detoxification process.<strong> NB</strong>. The first and most important  tasks for chronically sick people is to fix their<strong> gut</strong> and  support the <strong>adrenals and thyroid</strong>. Think<strong>, &#8220;I need to address my gut</strong> <strong>and </strong><strong>hormones first&#8221; </strong>when you begin. Getting these two elements right is most helpful and will make you feel A LOT better and support effective detox.<strong> </strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Adrenal tests: </strong>Request a <strong>four-times-a-day cortisol saliva test</strong>,<strong> </strong>called the Adrenal Stress Index (ASI).</span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In <em>South Africa</em>, use <a href="http://www.synexabioanalytics.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Synexa labs,</span></a> who offer ASI testing  now.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In USA, use <a href="http://www.diagnostechs.com/">DiagnosTechs</a> through your doctor, or use <a href="http://www.directlabs.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Direct Labs</span></a> on your own. </span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Thyroid tests:</strong> Track your temperatures as noted above, and order ALL of the following<strong> blood tests</strong> at the same time:TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Thyroid Antibodies (both), Ferritin and Vit B12. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>7</strong>. <strong>Clean your organs</strong><strong> &#8211; Bowels, Kidneys and Liver.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">You can begin cycling through the organ cleanses soon after completing the parasite cleanse and consider completing at least one cycle of organ cleanses before beginning the dental work.<strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/bowel_cleanse.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></a></strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/bowel_cleanse.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Bowel Cleanse </span></a>- </strong>1 week duration. You will often notice a near immediate effect on your digestive health i.e. removes bloating and gas. Flattens your tummy and lifts your mood. Clean your bowels at least twice a year. <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/kidney_cleanse.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></a></strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/kidney_cleanse.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Kidney Cleanse</span></a> </strong>- 6 week duration. You may only notice an effect after a few weeks of the Kidney Cleanse. Cures most Lower Back and hip pain. Clean your kidneys twice a year.<strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Liver Cleanse</span> </strong>(Liver and Gall  bladder flush) – 24 hours. Make sure you only do this <strong>after </strong>the <a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/dr-clarks-cleanses/parasite-cleanse/">parasite cleanse</a> or once you are on the parasite maintenance program. And for best results complete the bowel and kidney cleanse first. We recommend only doing one liver cleanse just before beginning your dental work. Liver cleanses can mobilize a lot of toxins and some mercury-toxic people can struggle with them. They are however a powerful way to unblock your lymphatic system and can open your detoxification pathways quickly. Thereafter, clean your liver twice a year, or more often if desired.<a href="http://www.drclark.net/pic/lf_stein3.jpg"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span></a></span>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.drclark.net/pic/lf_stein3.jpg"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Each liver stone </span></a>is capable of hosting a colony of parasites. Nearly everybody who has not done a liver flush before will have these inside them contributing to their illness. They are essential to remove. The body has no way of removing them without your help and it represents a constant strain on your immune system leading to illness and premature aging. Neither the immune system nor zapper can reach into these stones to kill the invaders present there. </span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">PLEASE NOTE:</span> Andy Cutler dissuades liver cleanses and suggests they are too hard on the liver. If you are following his chelation protocol carefully you should consider avoing this option.<strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>8. </strong><strong>Certain </strong><strong>foods </strong>can be making you ill.</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Especially consider that you could  have a <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/sulfur_sulphur_foods.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">sulphur (sulfur) intolerance </span></a></strong>and may be reacting to foods high in sulphur content. This is particularly true for mercury poisoned people, as sulphur tends to mobilize metals which cause oxidative stress and cause you to feel ill. Do the <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/sulfur_sulphur_foods.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">sulphur elimination test </span></a>by avoiding all sulphur foods for 10 days and then sharply adding them back and checking your response. THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT TO FIND OUT AS IT CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF UNECESSARY SUFFERING.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Consider also an <strong>IgG food intolerace lab test </strong>to  locate your specific trigger foods, such as the <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/files/Imupro_brochure.pdf"><span style="color: #0000ff;">ImuPro</span></a> </strong>food intolerance test. Once you have a copy of your results  discuss them with a good ‘<strong>Nutritional Therapist’</strong>. We do not advise consulting ‘Dietitians’, as they are more concerned with <span style="text-decoration: underline;">calorie-restriction</span> and advise unnatural alternatives (such as margarine or sweeteners), as opposed to Nutritional Therapists who advise more naturally occurring foods.</span>

<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>9</strong>. Complete the <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/dental_clean-up.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">full dental clean-up</span></a></strong> as advised by Dr Hulda Clark. You should already have  had a <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/pan.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">panoramic x-ray</span></a></strong> (step 3) and will be aware of what dental components are present inside your mouth. Once your adrenals and thyroid are supported, complete your <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/dental_clean-up.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">dental clean-up</span></a> </strong>and follow  mercury amalgam removal with proper <strong><a title="www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/oral_chelation1.html" href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/oral_chelation1.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">oral chelation </span></a></strong>(to remove metals  from your body). Remove <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/cavitations_and_protocol_for_routine_extraction.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">root canals and  clean cavitations </span></a>(infected holes in the jaw  bone in previous extraction sites) and follow the <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/dental_aftercare.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">dental  aftercare</span></a> program after surgical procedures,  and tackle mercury amalgams and chelate after that. Make sure your dentist  adheres <em>strictly </em>to the <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/mercury_amalgam_removal.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">mercury removal  protocol</span></a> as described by Dr Hal Huggins, or  wait until you find one that will before you attempt it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Make sure you have  read <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/day_of_dental_visit.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">what you need  to do on the day of a dental visit</span></a> before  each appointment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>VERY IMPORTANT: It is better to leave your mercury amalgams in place than to allow them to be taken out incorrectly! Also, you cannot chelate if you still have a chance of any mercury in your mouth, such as mercury tatoos or amalgams hidden underneath crowns.</strong></span></p>

Replace metal crowns with <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/metal-free.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">metal-free  options</span></a>. Failure to complete this program can  leave focal (primary) sources of infection and toxicity.<br />
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DENTAL CLEAN-UP CANNOT BE UNDERESTIMATED and major organ cleansing should not be initiated without this step, as it can open up the detox pathways and start draining infection and &#8216;gunk&#8217; that the body has tried hard to store away. Ensure that if you are going to detox your organs, that you do the dental work also.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> The rule of dentistry has been to save a tooth at all costs, when it should be: ‘don’t keep anything in your mouth that impacts negatively on your immune system’. It is often the difference between illness and true health and when ignored can be the cause of failure or limitation with your health.</span>
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>from The Roots of Disease: Connecting  Dentistry and medicine by Robert Kulacz and Thomas Levy<br />
“The hidden infections found in all root canal treated teeth continues to be arguably the most significant cause of many serious degenerative diseases, most notably cancer and heart disease. It is our opinion that the evidence clearly shows that many, if not most, significant diseases and medical conditions get their start in the dentist’s chair. Some of the dental procedures performed every day by practicing dentists certainly initiate many, and worsen most, medical conditions.<br />
Root canal treated teeth are not the only sources of dental infection, although they are probably the most significant in terms of severity of the diseases they cause. Cavitations are another major contributing source of dental toxicity that remains virtually unknown to the vast majority of practicing dentists world wide…<br />
The case histories that we have cited are nevertheless very real, and the number of people affected by the toxicity of cavitations exceeds even the number of people affected by the toxicity of root canal treated teeth. The vast majority of people that have ever had teeth extracted, especially the larger teeth such as the wisdom teeth and the molars, are suffering from the toxicity of these gangrenous holes in their jawbones. This also means that older dental patients who may feel that they have ‘escaped’ the many toxins associated with modern dental care when they finally get full mouth extractions and dentures have only traded one form of dental toxicity for another form. The denture wearers uniformly have an enormous amount of cavitation-related toxicity. In isolated patients, cavitations toxicity can be as bad or worse than root canal treated toxicity… It appears that any dental infection, whether it is gum-related, root canal-related, cavitation-related, abscess-related, or implant-related, has very consistent and serious medical consequences.</em></span>
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>A focal infection seeds microbes throughout the body. The mouth continues to be the most significant source of these seedlings.”</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>10. Begin <a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/chelationnetwork/oral_mercury_chelation/">oral chelation</a> </strong>as advised by Dr Andy Cutler, once you have removed metals from your mouth. Go slowly and take your time, building up the dosages as you go. Ensure that you have joined the <a href="http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/frequent-dose-chelation/">Frequent Dose Chelation Yahoo group</a> for support and guidance during this process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Remember: Everything starts with the  parasite cleanse.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Many people cannot comprehend the importance of the dental cleanup to their health. While you are getting your head around it, simply begin the parasite cleanse. Then move through the other organ cleanses and support your adrenals and thyroid while you prepare for your dental work.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><br />

<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Address your <strong>drinking <a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/the_secret_of_water.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">water</span></a> </strong>as soon as possible. Dr. Clark’s latest research points to polluted water as being the most important cause of ill-health. Everybody should take responsibility by challenging their local Water Departments to ensure that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Food-grade bleach</span> is being used to  sterilize our water at check-points, rather than<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> Laundry Bleach</span>, such as Jik (with added brighteners, whiteners, azo dyes, metals etc.) Most tap water is heavily polluted for reasons noted <a href="http://livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/water/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">here..</span></a> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Food-grade bleach</span> should be used by  your local water department instead of regular <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Laundry Bleach</span> varieties. We urge you to contact your local Water Department to check and confirm that Laundry Bleach is NOT being used at your check-points. Chlorine gas is first used at the main reservoir to sterilize our water. Then as it is channeled to the rest of the suburbs where further liquid bleach is added at check-points if the chlorine levels measure too low. It is there where the big problem lies. We need to make our Water Departments country-wide AWARE of this most vital issue. Read the <span style="color: #0000ff;">water section </span>for more information on obtaining safe drinking and cooking water in the interim. Dr Clark has just informed us that she has created a water filter that can remove the cancer-causing pollutants. As soon as we have more information on these filters, we will post it on the website.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Take  appropriate safe <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/daily_maintenance.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">supplements </span></a></strong>throughout,  especially while oral chelating. Hulda Clark says it is most important  to<strong>, </strong>feed your <strong><a href="http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/drclarknetwork/daily_maintenance.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">White Blood Cells  (WBC’s)</span></a></strong> from the onset with Hydrangea root, Rosehips and Brazil nuts (or Hazel Nuts). Continue feeding your WBC’s indefinitely to keep your immune system strong.</span></li>
