Your Altered Microbiome and Its Effects on Disease

7 Organs You Must Detox First Before Weight Loss Can Become Permanent The holidays often bring the trifecta of overindulgence—foods, sweets, and drinks that leave us feeling sluggish and heavy. By January 2nd, many people start thinking: Should I get a new gym membership? Try keto? Paleo? Vegan? The truth is, no matter how disciplined your goals, weight loss will not be permanent until you address the root cause: toxic overload. Why Toxins Are Stored in Fat Cells Your body has an incredible system for handling toxins, but after years of processed foods, polluted air, pesticides, and chemicals, the liver eventually becomes overloaded. Think of your liver as a furnace filter. At first, it traps and processes toxins gracefully. But just like the furnace filter you forgot to change, eventually it gets clogged. Once that happens, your body needs a backup storage system —so it shuttles toxins into fat cells. Those fat cells become like an “overflow garage” full of old junk you’ve been meaning to clean out. If you want lasting fat loss, you must first clear out the toxins. Signs of Toxic Overload Before the weight shows up, your body often sends signals: Aching, arthritic joints Brain fog Hormonal imbalances Thyroid dysfunction Skin issues like hives or psoriasis These are signs your detox pathways are struggling. The 7 Detox Pathways You Must Open You cannot simply burn away fat cells without first clearing the body’s detox “garages.” The key organs and systems are: Colon Small Intestine Lymphatic System Kidneys Lungs Skin Liver Your liver is the conductor, performing hundreds of processes daily, including cleansing the blood. Your lymphatic system alone contains 45 pints of interstitial fluid, constantly pulling toxins from tissues and dumping them into the blood for the liver to filter. When the liver is overloaded, toxins get rerouted into fat cells, making lasting weight loss impossible. Why Weight Loss Often Fails If you’ve ever lost weight only to gain it back—or hit a plateau where stubborn areas refuse to budge—the culprit isn’t lack of willpower. It’s toxic load. Until you open the detox pathways, especially starting with the colon (the body’s biggest “garage door”), the body has nowhere safe to send the toxic debris. Once the colon, small intestine, liver, and blood are cleared, fat cells can finally release their stored waste. The Path to Real Change Permanent weight loss is not about another trendy diet. It’s about cleansing and restoring your body’s natural detox systems so fat is no longer needed as a toxic storage unit.  At Living Waters, we help clients begin with colon hydrotherapy, then support the small intestine, liver, and lymphatic system to restore balance, energy, and health.

"All disease begins in the gut." – Hippocrates If you struggle with chronic symptoms, there’s a high probability that “Leaky Gut” is at the root of your issues. Common Symptoms of Leaky Gut Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Anemia Asthma or seasonal allergies Bloating Canker sores (mouth ulcers) Chronic joint pain Candida overgrowth Autoimmune conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto’s, Lupus, Psoriasis, or Celiac disease Chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia Digestive issues (gas, constipation, bloating, diarrhea, IBS) Epilepsy Food allergies or intolerances Hormonal imbalances (PMS, PCOS) Lactose intolerance Migraines Depression or anxiety Gallbladder issues Gastric ulcers Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis herpetiformis) Thyroid disorders (hypo- and hyperthyroidism) Ulcerative colitis Vitamin/mineral deficiencies Unexplained weight gain or weight loss Instead of chasing symptoms, it’s time to address the root cause. What is Leaky Gut? Your intestinal tract is massive—about the size of a tennis court when stretched out! Its surface is lined with villi, tiny finger-like projections that look like “shag carpet.” In a healthy gut, these villi have tight junctions that allow vitamins and minerals to be absorbed into the bloodstream for cellular repair. But poor diet, stress, and constipation can damage this lining. When old, undigested food sits in the gut for days—or even years—it causes tiny tears in the intestinal wall. Think of it like leaving food in your refrigerator for weeks. The stench and toxicity that builds up there? The same thing happens in your gut. When undigested food, toxins, and pathogens leak into the bloodstream, the immune system reacts with inflammation, leading to autoimmune responses and disease. Stress: The Hidden Culprit Stress is one of the biggest drivers of gut dysfunction. When you stuff emotions and carry worry in your gut, your nervous system automatically absorbs the impact. Combined with poor digestion, this toxic load causes the intestines to swell. The colon, which should be about three inches in diameter, can expand to as large as 16 inches! The average person carries 12–15 pounds of old, rotting fecal matter in their intestinal tract—sometimes for years. When neurons in the gut are covered in waste, nerve signals can’t fire properly. This leads to dysfunction everywhere those nerves connect: arms, joints, head, thyroid, skin, and more. In short: if you’re full of old poop, you’re going to feel it everywhere. Healing the Gut: A Multi-Step Approach At Living Waters, we’ve developed a proven process to help heal the gut. Here’s where to begin: Colon Hydrotherapy – Several sessions hydrate and dissolve old fecal matter. Consistent treatments strengthen the muscles of the colon and restore peristalsis (the natural squeezing action that moves waste out). Herbs, Fibers, and Clays – Your colon hydrotherapist may recommend natural supports to break down impacted matter. Correct Bathroom Posture – Modern toilets work against natural elimination. Use a small stool (like a “Step and Go”) to elevate your feet and mimic a squat position, allowing easier, more complete bowel movements. Add Fiber – Increase whole food fiber to feed healthy bacteria and support elimination. Restore the Microbiome – Especially important after antibiotics. Work with your therapist to rebalance gut flora at the right pace. Address Candida/Yeast Overgrowth – If you’ve had antibiotics, you may have symptoms like fatigue, carb cravings, itchy skin, or a coated tongue. Support Gut Repair – Bone broth, targeted supplements, and avoiding wheat, gluten, processed foods, and (at first) fermented foods are key. Reduce Stress – Yoga, breathwork, or pulsed frequency therapy like Ondamed can help reset the nervous system and accelerate healing. Take the First Step After working with thousands of clients, we agree with Hippocrates, Dr. Bernard Jensen, Dr. Harvey Kellogg, and many others: all true healing begins with the bowels . If you’re ready to stop chasing symptoms and start healing at the root, colon hydrotherapy is the most powerful place to begin. Call Living Waters Wellness Center at 208-378-9911

Over the years of consulting with thousands of people, I’ve noticed one consistent pattern: nearly everyone knows their symptoms, but very few understand the cause . The truth is, all symptoms are the result of inflammation, and at the root of that inflammation is toxicity. The 4 Natural Laws of Healing Toxicity can be addressed once you follow these four foundational steps: Cleanse the Colon Cleanse the Small Intestine Cleanse the Blood Deliver Perfect Nutrients to the Cells As V.E. Irons once said, “If you had a clean colon, you wouldn’t have your dis-ease.” Dr. Bernard Jensen, who treated over 350,000 people, affirmed, “Bowel management is the key to healing any dis-ease.” And Dr. Harvey Kellogg, gastrologist and surgeon, famously remarked, “The only place you will see a perfect colon is in a textbook.” Why Colon Hydrotherapy? Think of it this way: you can’t take out the garbage unless you have a clear path to the door. In the body, that pathway is your colon. The most effective way to truly cleanse the body is through colon hydrotherapy. This simple, safe procedure changed my life and saved the lives of many in my family. Without it, I wouldn’t be here today. The speed at which inflammation and toxicity leave the body through colon hydrotherapy is nothing short of amazing. You can even watch how the procedure works on our website: www.livingwaterscleanse.com . What I’ve Witnessed From my vantage point, I’ve seen countless people who once felt hopeless about their symptoms experience a dramatic turnaround in their health. No matter the dis-ease, healing begins with the colon . Here’s why: The colon and small intestine are connected to every organ through a vast network of nerves. Your gut contains more neurons than your spinal column. How your gut functions determines how you feel and how you live. Most people are constipated and carrying around 12–14 pounds of rotting, putrefying fecal matter. This toxic waste seeps into your tissues, blood, and lymphatic system. The Truth About “Normal” Bowel Movements Some people brag about having one big bowel movement a day. But here’s the reality—if you eat three meals, where are the other two going? A truly healthy bowel should evacuate after each meal. Others may go every 1–4 days, once a week, or even once a month! Over time, this creates a toxic backlog that the body struggles to handle. Magnesium supplements, stool softeners, or laxatives may work for a while, but eventually, they stop being effective. The Gentle Solution Colon hydrotherapy gently and effectively clears out the old, impacted fecal matter. With regular sessions, your colon can be reconditioned to function properly again—helping you eliminate waste naturally and consistently. If you’re ready to experience the relief and healing power of a clean, healthy colon, we invite you to take the first step. Call our office today to schedule your consultation: 208-378-9911

There is nothing safe about breast implants. Women with implants often experience symptoms such as: Brain fog Joint pain Hair loss Dry eyes Chronic fatigue Persistent flu-like illness With silicone implants, leaking gel can migrate into organs like the liver and lungs—where it cannot be surgically removed. The toxins are released silently and insidiously, and as the implants age, the body undergoes destructive anatomical and biochemical changes. Saline implants are not safer. Their valves are rarely airtight, allowing bacteria, yeast, and mold to infiltrate. Once the shell begins to leak, toxins spread throughout the body. In both cases, detoxification is the only path forward. A True Story: Candace’s Experience I recently interviewed fellow Colon Hydrotherapist Candace VonBuren, who received her first set of implants at age 20. At 29, she replaced them with a new set. Ten years later, she underwent yet another replacement. But with every surgery, her health declined. She battled fatigue and illness that no treatment could resolve. Finally, she made the decision to remove her implants for good. What the surgeons found was shocking: both the silicone and saline implants were moldy. Mold is one of the most dangerous toxins to the human body. Before and after her explant surgeries, Candace supported her healing with colonics and detox therapies—and continues to do so today. The Truth: There Are No Safe Implants Over the years, we’ve welcomed many women to our 10-Day Healing Retreat following their implant removal. Each of them has expressed the same thing: they were deeply grateful they chose to detox and reclaim their health. The decision to let go of implants is often emotionally and mentally difficult. But once free of them, women rediscover what it feels like to have a healthy body—and with it, the freedom to truly live again. How to Detox After Implants We have a proven protocol to help clear implant-related toxins from the body and support full recovery. 👉 Listen to Candace’s interview at www.WholeBodyDetoxShow.com .

I’m not sure which is worse—cancer or psoriasis. Having faced both, I can tell you they’re not only uncomfortable, but also deeply worrisome. What I’ve learned is that both conditions stem from the same underlying issue: a toxic, overloaded body. And both respond to the same solution: detoxification. How Toxins Build Up Every day, our bodies are bombarded with toxins—heavy metals, chemicals, viruses, and yeast like candida. The liver works hard to protect us, binding toxins in bile and storing them safely. But when the liver becomes overwhelmed and runs out of space, those toxins don’t just disappear. Instead, the body looks for new hiding places. Toxins may end up in fat cells, lodged in subcutaneous tissue, or even contributing to tumors, cysts, or polyps. Often, you won’t notice anything until your skin starts to show the signs—itching, cracking, bleeding, or oozing. I know this from personal experience. My own psoriasis was severe, and I’ve lived through the frustration of trying to manage it. Why Conventional Treatments Fall Short Dermatologists often prescribe expensive creams or injections to suppress symptoms. And while they might bring short-term relief, the psoriasis nearly always comes back—often worse than before. That’s because the root cause hasn’t been addressed. The Path to True Healing The solution, I’ve discovered, is simple—but it requires commitment. By following the 4 Natural Laws of Healing , the body can begin to detox, repair, and truly heal: Clean the colon Clean the small intestine Clean the blood Give the body perfect nutrition When you detox heavy metals and eliminate yeast/candida overgrowth, the body is free to do what it was designed to do: heal itself. This is where deep tissue cleansing comes in. Tools like Colon Hydrotherapy, Ondamed Pulse Frequency, and targeted supplements can act as superheroes, helping the body clear out toxic buildup and restore balance. My Experience & Hope for You I battled psoriasis for years. It was painful, discouraging, and isolating at times. But through detoxification, I learned how to heal my body from the inside out. It’s no longer a mystery.

Over the years, I’ve consulted with thousands of people and helped them overcome their dis-ease. The one consistent commonality? They knew their symptoms but had no idea of the cause. All symptoms are the result of inflammation , and inflammation is caused by toxicity . The good news is that toxicity can be addressed—once you understand the 4 Natural Laws of Healing : Cleanse the Colon Cleanse the Small Intestine Cleanse the Blood Deliver Perfect Nutrients to the Cells 👉 Watch our webinar to learn how you can heal naturally. Wisdom From the Experts “If you had a clean colon, you wouldn’t have your dis-ease.” – V.E. Irons “In treating over 350,000 people it is clear that bowel management is the key to healing any dis-ease.” – Dr. Bernard Jensen “The only place you will see a perfect colon is in a textbook.” – Dr. Harvey Kellogg, Gastroenterologist & Surgeon Why the Colon Matters You can’t take out the garbage unless you have a clear path to the door. In the body, that path is your colon . The only true way to deeply cleanse the body is through water and colon hydrotherapy. Colon hydrotherapy has saved many lives in my own family—including mine. I would not be here today without its benefits. This is a simple, safe, and affordable procedure. You can even watch a demonstration of how it’s performed on our website. The speed at which inflammation and toxicity leave the body is nothing short of amazing. Just listen to our clients share how they reversed their symptoms—proof that the body can heal when given the chance. What I’ve Witnessed From my vantage point, I’ve seen countless people who had lost hope regain their health—sometimes very quickly. It doesn’t matter what the dis-ease is: healing must start with the colon. The colon and small intestine are connected to every organ by nerves. Your gut actually contains more neurons than your spinal column. How your gut lives determines how you live. Most people are constipated—packing around 12–14 pounds of rotting, putrefying fecal matter. And yes, I hear the stories about “one big bowel movement a day.” But what about the other two meals? Ideally, the body should eliminate after each meal. Many people are going every 2–4 days… some once a week… some once every two weeks… and incredibly, I’ve met people who only go once a month! This old waste doesn’t just sit in the colon—it seeps into your tissues, blood, and lymphatic system. If you’re relying on magnesium or stool softeners, there will come a day when they stop working. Why Colon Hydrotherapy Works Colon hydrotherapy gently and effectively clears out old fecal matter, helping recondition the colon so it can return to doing its job—eliminating waste on a regular basis.

It was 2 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon, the day before we began our 10-Day Healing Retreat. I suddenly had a strong feeling about a client who had wanted to attend our retreat back in December but couldn’t because of her schedule. Something told me to give her a call. When she answered, she was crying. I asked gently, “What’s going on?” Through tears, she said, “I’m in the emergency room. I have bleeding, pus, and I’m in a lot of pain.” I replied, “Let’s get you in and get your body healed. Would you be open to joining this month’s retreat?” She said yes—but added, “I can no longer drive.” Shortly after, her husband agreed to bring her to Living Waters Wellness Center. That very evening, he helped her onto the colonic bed for her first session. It was rough—years of toxins and constipation were surfacing. But it was the beginning of her healing journey. She joined our 10-Day Retreat. A few days later, her husband was diagnosed with RSV, and she also became sick. Even so, she pressed forward, cleansing, resting, and healing. Each day, she looked stronger. By day nine, she came into my office glowing with excitement: “Look at my shoes, David. I haven’t been able to wear these since my wedding five years ago. Back then, I could barely squeeze into them without socks—now I’m wearing wool socks, and they fit perfectly! I’ve lost two pant sizes and a full cup size in my breasts.” Her face was pink and radiant. She was smiling ear to ear. The pain that brought her to the ER was gone—completely gone since day three of the retreat. She continued: “My anxiety has lifted. I feel calm and able to respond to drama instead of reacting.” “I haven’t needed pain medication since day three.” “Even when I got RSV, I never took OTC meds. I let my body heal naturally. I only needed my inhaler twice.” “Emotionally, I feel lighter and clearer.” “My insulin needs have dropped by 5%.” “My muffin top is 75% smaller. My arms no longer squeeze into my shirts.” With tears of joy she finished, “I have missed this version of me for nearly five years. Thank you for making that call!” ✨ Would you like to experience your own healing miracle? ✨ Visit www.livingwaterscleanse.com to watch our webinar The 4 Natural Laws of Healing.

1 cigarette puts out 1 quad-trillion free radicals. The average person right now is smoking the equivalent of 20 cigarettes per day without lighting up thanks to the endless smoky days caused by fires.

It was 1999 and I had a rental home that stunk of cigarette smoke and dog poop. The tenants had just left and I had no idea how I was going to get the stench out of that home without burning it down. And then I learned about the FreshAir by Vollara. My buddy told me about this Ozone feature that would miraculously clean up the smell. I was very skeptical but I placed the machine in the home that weekend and turned it on high and left. 2 Days later I was shocked. The FRESH AIR made an amazing difference. Oh and then he said " Yea it even helps eliminate dust. I said yea right. But you know that amazing little machine helps eliminate dust and my favorite part as someone who used to have a slew of allergies was my home always smelled like a fresh rain storm. Needless to say I have had several of these units in my home and office every since. Oh and this weekend I bought a truck from a smoker. Now I never every buy cars used by smokers. But the seller had masked the smell and at first I thought it was just too much of some car cleaner he used. But you can't forever mask cigarette smoke. I have had the machine in my "new/used 1999 truck for about 48 hours. I haven't even had the upholstery cleaned yet and amazingly enough its knocked out years of smoking.Something else we had to deal with was mold due to a leak in a bathroom. I learned that NASA uses these little devices and they have been proven to eliminate mold, even through the walls!!!!!!!
