Founding of Haven Holistic Health Center
[00:01:26] Dr. Orton and Dr. Orata established Haven, a holistic health center in Chicago, to address the lack of truly holistic healthcare. They focus on creating individualized health programs to educate and empower people to optimize their health and recover from chronic illness.
[00:01:45] Dr. Orton criticizes the practice of "green allopathy" in alternative medicine, where supplements are prescribed in the same way as drugs without addressing the underlying lifestyle issues that contribute to chronic illness.
[00:02:36] Emphasizes the need for health plans that address foundational lifestyle factors, such as daily habits and mindset, which are crucial for achieving and maintaining health.
[00:03:31] Dr. Orton advocates for the Gonzalez protocol, which focuses on lifestyle changes rather than just advanced technology or supplements for treating degenerative diseases and cancer.
[00:04:42] Mary Beth Gonzalez, the president of the Gonzalez Foundation and Dr. Gonzalez's wife, took time to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the Gonzalez protocol to honor her husband's legacy.
[00:06:32] Dr. Orton adheres strictly to the Gonzalez protocol regarding enzyme therapy. He explains the history and importance of enzyme potency and stability as established by Dr. Gonzalez.
[00:08:34] The Gonzalez protocol includes an individualized diet, supplement regimen, and detoxification routines. It is a holistic approach designed over decades to support body healing from cancer and other diseases.
[00:13:42] The protocol involves metabolic typing to tailor supplement doses to each individual's needs, emphasizing the balance of acid and alkaline in the body, and choosing the right forms of nutrients.
[00:17:55] Dr. Orton details the process of determining an individual's metabolic type through symptoms related to the balance between sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest or digest) nervous systems. This assessment is crucial to the Gonzalez protocol.
[00:18:01] Sympathetic dominant individuals may exhibit symptoms like constipation and high blood pressure, while parasympathetic dominance might present with diarrhea and autoimmune issues. This helps in guiding dietary recommendations, such as the need for red meat to acidify an overly alkaline system.
[00:20:51] A lengthy questionnaire developed by Dr. Kelly assists in evaluating a wide array of symptoms to avoid misclassification of metabolic types.
[00:22:08] Dr. Orton explains the complexity of accurately measuring the acid-alkaline balance in the body, mentioning experimental tests used in their practice and ongoing validation of Dr. Kelly’s blood work correlations.
[00:23:53] Discussion on the use of sodium bicarbonate injections for treating solid tumors, which are generally overly acidic, and the importance of metabolic typing in cancer treatment.
[00:26:01] Solid tumors tend to be too acidic while immune system-related cancers (like leukemia) tend to be too alkaline. This influences the application of the Gonzalez protocol and other treatments like sodium bicarbonate injections.
[00:28:21] Dr. Orton is open to the use of SEAC tea and other herbal remedies but emphasizes the importance of not overwhelming the system with too many treatments at once.
[00:31:02] Pancreatic enzymes are endorsed for preventative measures against cancer, but they must be paired with detoxification practices like coffee enemas to manage waste products.
[00:32:05] The protocol's effectiveness may vary with different types of cancer, influenced by factors such as blood flow to the tumor, with leukemia being notably responsive due to its presence in the bloodstream.
[00:34:23] Tumors in areas with poor blood flow, such as radiation scars or primary liver cancer, may be more challenging to treat, requiring longer timeframes or adjunctive treatments like bicarbonate injections.
[00:35:13] Dr. Orton clarifies the differences between the Gonzalez and Gerson therapies, particularly in their approach to treating acidic versus alkaline cancers.
[00:35:54] Juicing is included in the Gonzalez protocol for cancer patients, albeit less intensely than in the Gerson therapy, to provide a digestible source of nutrients and enzymes.
Juicing and Metabolic Types
[00:36:53] Dr. Orton clarifies that under the Gonzalez protocol, carrot juice is considered neutral and is recommended for all metabolic types. Parasympathetic types, contrary to avoidance of alkaline foods, can still consume fruits, especially tropical ones, for their enzyme content.
[00:37:20] Although parasympathetic dominant individuals need to emphasize acidic foods, they can still include certain fruits and neutral foods like carrots in their diet. However, they should avoid highly alkalizing foods like green leafy vegetables and citrus fruits.
[00:38:46] Dr. Orton addresses the common misconception about the acidity of citrus fruits. Despite their acidic taste, they have an alkaline effect on the body, making them suitable for sympathetic dominant individuals.
[00:39:59] Dr. Orton dispels the myth that sugar feeds cancer, referencing Otto Warburg's research. He explains that Dr. Gonzalez's high-sugar diets, consisting of natural sugars from juices and fruits, showed no evidence of promoting cancer.
[00:42:39] While beets have different properties, carrot juice remains the foundation in the Gonzalez protocol, primarily for its concentration of beta-carotene, which supports the immune system during cancer treatment.
[00:43:30] Pancreatic enzymes are highlighted as special due to their signaling mechanism that inhibits the proliferation of undifferentiated cells, similar to fetal development, rather than just digesting tumors.
Dr. Stills shares her journey from pediatrics to becoming a recognized cancer specialist, highlighting the use of innovative European biological medicine and the Kelly protocol in her practice.
She delves into the importance of the lymphatic system in cancer progression and the connections between dental health and systemic diseases.
Dr. Stills also underscores the power of managing the autonomic nervous system and advocates for emotional therapies like family constellation therapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to address deep-seated emotional patterns. Central to her approach is the concept of mindfulness and its role in cancer healing, urging patients to integrate these practices irrespective of their conventional or holistic treatment path.
