Many of you have been following me on facebook and know that I recently traveled to the Andes in South America.  Since I was going to a developing country – Peru I decided to take some aid with me to ensure that I didn’t get sick and could thoroughly enjoy my journey in Peru.  There were several concerns about going to Cuzco, Peru-

1)  bacteria exposure

2) altitude sickness

3) exposure to any known social diseases

However, today I am going to focus on the bacteria exposure.

Bacteria exposure or what I would like to describe as microbial exposure occurs when you enter a different country.  Let’s face it, their bugs are different than ours in the states, so your system wouldn’t be acclimated to theirs.  It happens often, when one goes to a foreign country, one sometimes gets sick to their stomach and the body eliminates the bacteria as best as it know.  Most often the stools become loose or turn into the traveler’s diahrrea OR one may find themselves worshiping the toilet bowel as they spew out chunks of the latest meal consumed,  which is known as Montezuma’s revenge.

Here are some keys to help you avoid Montezuma’s revenge:

1)   avoid drinking tap water because this is the main source where the microbial exposure comes from

2)    avoid eating raw foods because it is likely that they clean the raw foods with tap water even at the 5 star resorts that claim that they have filtered water

3)   Take charcoal, grape seed extract, a good probiotic, and/or a digestive enzyme to help your system cope with any unconscious exposure

If you already take these supplements, you will want to increase your dosage to 3X so that your system is able to ward it off without any symptoms.

Energetically, you can also hold your middle finger, because in the modality, Jin Shin Jyutsu, the middle finger helps the liver and since the liver is the organ that filters all of the toxins out of the system, it is the one that needs help.

Understand that the skin is like a big lung for the body.  The skin absorbs everything…so if you have any open wounds, cuts, etc then it could potentially be a vessel to carry the bugs to your internal system.  So following the third key above is the secret to avoiding Montezuma’s revenge.

I believe that I might have been exposed when I ate one of the bag lunches that was prepared from one of the Qero’s home.  The tomatoes on the sandwich might have been washed with their tap water at home.  I had already been taking charcoal ( Prime Defense by Garden of Life) and Quiet Digestion a Chinese Herbal Patent Formula that I distribute by Health Concerns.  My energy had started to drop on Sunday, while touring Macchu Picchu.  I could feel a something going on in the pit of my stomach.  Being the Chinese Medicine Practitioner that I am, I listened to my pulses and I heard the liver pulse screaming at me.  I gave my self a double liver flow and I was good to go.  No sign of Montezuma’s revenge at all!

Please note the simple alternative for you is to hold your middle finger.  Yes, just wrap your right fingers around your left middle finger and vice-versa to apply to the right side.
