It has been a year since I have been following naturopathic physician Dr. Garrett Smith’s “Love Your Liver” low toxin, high nutrition diet, so I am sharing an update about my results so far. If you have not read my blog post about discovering Dr. Smith’s health program, you may want to read it first, at the link below:

Nutrition 3.0 and the Recovery of Health

Before I get into my personal results though, I am sharing news regarding three people I have known personally in my life who followed the natural route for cancer treatments and despite their best efforts, still experienced disappointing outcomes.

Cancer Case #1

The first person I knew who followed the natural path for his cancer treatment was a fellow parent at the Mountain School preschool my children attended in the late 90s / early 2000s in Silicon Valley. Several parents at the school rallied behind him and brought to his home what he asked for: fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juices from the local health food store. He told everyone he was going to make it; he had a positive outlook, he had the right attitude. But he did not last long and sadly, passed away quickly. (It actually shocked me how quickly he went after his diagnosis.) He was only in his 30s.

Cancer Case #2

The second person is a young boy my older daughter played with at around that same time. Both children were healthy 3-year-olds when I met the boy’s mother through a note she posted on a bulletin board at the local Whole Foods. Around that time, she was becoming a raw food chef, and became a serious devotee of the raw food lifestyle promoted by David “Avocado” Wolfe and numerous others. We lost touch with each other a few years later when she moved out of the area. That boy would have been 29 years old today—the same age as my oldest daughter.

About a year ago I looked her up online and found out her son had been diagnosed with cancer at age 13. She had collected donations from the raw food community so she could send her son to the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida for three weeks of natural cancer treatments. The boy received three weeks of raw fruit and vegetable juices, saunas, other therapies, and even wheat grass enemas. He came home from those treatments and died less than a week later. He was only 14 years old. WHY?!

Cancer Case #3

In February this year (mid-February 2024), I learned through a friend that homeopath and homeoprophylaxis practitioner Cilla Whatcott died from cancer at age 69. I had met her at a conference she put together on homeoprophylaxis in 2017. She was a friend of a friend.

Cilla was diagnosed with cancer, checked herself into a cancer clinic in Mexico to be treated with “natural therapies,” then came back home. The treatments in Mexico managed to hold the cancer off for a while, but then the illness came back even more aggressively. Why did the cancer come back more aggressively (as often occurs after pharmaceutical chemotherapy treatments) after she received “natural” treatments that were claimed to heal her?

Three Time’s a Pattern

For me, three occurrences make a pattern. It’s also the point when a clear and logical-thinking person would begin to question if “natural” should be the only driver of care in the alternative health community—because as you can see from the results above, it is clearly not working! Also, was the root cause—which I believe to be toxicity—ever really addressed? Surely, other relevant factors must be at play here, and this is where I introduce you to Dr. Garrett Smith’s toxic bile theory. “Natural remedies” are not effective or good enough. There are other factors and principles that come into the equation and Dr. Smith has already developed them.

I understand, after learning Dr. Garrett Smith’s toxic bile theory over the last year, that the root cause of the cancers above—toxicity—was never actually addressed. Also, I do not believe that traditional mainstream allopathic cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, “early detection,” early treatment, etc.) OR traditional mainstream naturopathic cancer treatments (raw fruit and vegetable juices, vitamin injections, antioxidants, “superfood” supplements, Rife machine treatments, magnets, etc.) reverse cancer or even remove any toxicity from the body. Although it is true that both allopathic and naturopathic solutions often have temporary results (when toxins are pushed deeper into the liver), the cancer always returns, often more aggressively than before (because toxins continue to be ingested and the liver can only take so much). This is because the ROOT CAUSE of disease—which is toxicity—is and was never addressed, either during the treatment or the “maintenance” period afterward.

It may seem hard to believe that toxicity levels are not reduced during naturopathic treatments. After all, one of the promises of natural therapies is the detox result. But why else would the outcomes be similar? Could it be that many of the natural therapies themselves are—unknowingly—toxic?

Over the last year, I have come to understand that many of the natural therapies themselves are quite toxic. We may think natural treatments are healthy when it’s possible they are nothing of the sort. According to toxic bile theory, many natural treatments are toxic to the liver / body. Just because something is “natural” or “plant-based” does not mean it is free of toxins / poisons. I will not get into the chemistry here as it is outside the scope of this post, but chemists do acknowledge that pro “vitamin” A substances in foods metabolize into retinaldehydes (and that aldehydes are toxic), then into retinoic acids (that are even more toxic), one of which is used as a chemotherapy agent. And this can easily explain the three disappointing cancer results above.

If you want to know more about the chemistry, read the short excerpt below.:

It doesn’t matter what the source of vitamin A is.  Beta-carotene (from carrots, for example) turns into retinol and retinaldehyde in the body in the presence of fat.  Retinyl palmitate from animals turns into retinol in the body.

All retinol will eventually be turned into (metabolized into) retinaldehyde, under normal conditions. All retinaldehyde would then be turned into different retinoic acids:

All-trans-retinoic acid (Pharma’s Retin-A)

9-cis-retinoic acid (alitretinoin, the chemotherapy drug)

13-cis-retinoic acid (Accutane, isotretinoin – A nasty drug that has many terrible side effects).

All of the vitamin A you take into your body, whether from food or creams on your skin or supplements, will eventually be turned into retinoic acid.  Proof of the chemotherapy effect is in the people who get cancer, binge on carrots and carrot juice, and their hair falls out.  It’s the 9-cis-retinoic acid from the carrots that makes their hair fall out and increases their overall toxicity.

Several years ago, I remember having a disagreement with a fellow Cornell alumnus who had studied biology about the large scientific study that showed that giving vitamin E supplements to study participants actually had a negative impact on their health. I argued that the vitamin E the participants were given was synthetically derived, which was the reason for the poor health outcomes. (After all, this is what many naturopaths, especially those selling supplements, were saying.) My friend, on the other hand, claimed it didn’t matter since they were chemically identical. Several years later, now that I have a whole new understanding of “vitamins” and toxins—thanks to Dr. Smith—I can get what my friend was trying to tell me.

Toxic Bile Theory

Toxic Bile Theory was developed by Dr. Garrett Smith over the last five and a half years. Dr. Smith has a naturopathic medicine clinic in Tucson, AZ about 15 years now. During first 10 years of his practice, he was disappointed with the results he and his patients were getting from what he had learned in naturopathic medical school. Then, five and a half years ago, he had a major epiphany, a rude awakening involving naturopathic medicine that caused him to make significant changes in his clinical practice. Since then, he developed toxic bile theory and is finally getting the results he and his patients have sought for a long time.

Dr. Smith is the only naturopath I follow anymore, as all the rest of them—99.99% in my opinion—are still under the complete influence of Rockefeller medicine. It does not matter that they are naturopaths, because vitamin science itself was invented by the Rockefellers and MERCK—and heavily influenced by them.

Over the last 30-plus years, I have followed a number of naturopaths, naturopathy was my health advice go-to, but I also was not all that thrilled with the results. And now I see that mainstream naturopathy consists of a bunch of lame, disjointed theories and often silly and dangerous fads. Contrast this to Dr. Smith’s toxic bile theory, which I believe is the central, unified theory for good health.

The answer to cancer (and any other illness or disease) is in toxic bile theory and Dr. Smith already knows what to do about it, too.  Below are links to two videos where you can learn about toxic bile theory. I believe toxic bile theory is the central, unified theory of good health.

Two Examples of Dr. Smith’s Contrarian Views

I will touch on a couple different ways Dr. Smith is a contrarian when it comes to mainstream health ideas. His contrarian views will either resonate with you, or they will not. This may help you decide whether Dr. Smith’s principles and views are for you.

Case #4 – A Heart Attack

Less than a month ago, a friend’s son-in-law had a heart attack during a yoga class. He was 44 years old and had not received the vax or any boosters. The heart attack came on during a Bikram hot yoga session. Paramedics were able to revive him, but he died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. He left behind a wife and three teenage boys.

Hormesis

Many “health gurus” promote the idea of hormesis, where you stress your body in different ways (such as with hot / cold thermal stress, physical exercise stress, stress from lack of food and fasting, of starving yourself, etc.). “Hormesis theory” says these stressors help to “jump start” your body’s functioning. My thinking is: Did God create a faulty system that needs to be prodded and pushed into working the way it should?

Dr. Smith does not promote hormesis and does not advise that you get any additional stress. He believes we have enough stress in our lives already, especially these days. Minimizing stress on the body is the goal, including stress on the body from toxic food and supplement toxins.

Muscle Testing

Another contrarian view of Dr. Smith’s involves the practice of muscle testing. He believes that muscle strength testing is not an accurate way of assessing whether a particular substance is good for your health in the long term.

This is because muscle testing measures muscle strength in that moment, not necessarily long-term strength. You can get a temporary, short-term boost in strength with substances that are harmful to your body over the long term. Short-term results do not necessarily equate to long term results.

Another reason is the test’s erroneous results. For example, when Dr. Smith was a patient of another doctor’s, he found that one month his muscle test showed he should avoid gluten. Then after avoiding gluten for a month, the following month’s test showed he could go back to eating gluten again. Then it was back and forth and back and forth, yes gluten, no gluten—like a pendulum. Really, who would use such a crappy test?

Instead of muscle testing, Dr. Smith advises a better measure of what is good for your body to be your body’s level of calmness. This makes complete sense. Several years ago, back when I followed naturopath Dr. Peter Glidden, he advised measuring your pulse rate after ingesting a test food (one food only at a time) and comparing it with your resting pulse rate before ingesting the test food.

The test would go like this: In the morning, before eating or drinking anything else except water, I was seated and rested for several minutes first, then measured my resting pulse rate. Then I ate the food I was testing (that was already at the table in front of me, as you are supposed to remain seated the entire time), measuring my pulse rate every 5 minutes for a minimum of a half hour after eating the test food. If your pulse rate goes up by 5 points or more after ingesting the test food, you are “sensitive” to that food. And the greater the variation in pulse, the more toxic the food you are testing is to you.

I remember doing this test twice, with eggs (a food high in “vitamin” A). Both times, my heart rate went up by more than 5 points. (For comparison, on another occasion you are welcome to do this test with a food most people are not “sensitive” to, such as a banana, apple, or chicken breast.)

Anyway, if these two contrarian views make zero sense to you, or annoy you (because you happened to learn something different or cannot accept that “health authorities” could have lied to you), Dr. Smith might not be right for you.

One Year on the Love-Your-Liver Program: Results

The following are some results I experienced so far after following Dr. Smith’s Do-it-Yourself Love-Your-Liver program for one year:

  • I have not used any lip gloss since around May of last year, as my lips are no longer dry or chapped, even in the winter.
  • Same for my elbows and heels; no lotion or moisturizer is needed. Elbows are smooth like a baby’s, no rough skin.
  • I have not had a single incident of indigestion in about a year. (Before Dr. Smith’s program, I would sometimes get an unpleasant feeling of indigestion, even when I ate single foods on an empty stomach. I noticed this with eggs, sardines, cheese, even goat cheese, and chlorella algae—which all happen to be high in “vitamin” A! No more indigestion since avoiding these foods!)
  • I notice I have more energy now, even when I do not get the proper amount of sleep.
  • My brain is clearer and less foggy, even on days when I get less sleep than usual.
  • My seborrheic dermatitis—especially recently—is starting to get much better. (This is significant as I had this dermatitis on my scalp, forehead and nose area since my late teens. My scalp has completely cleared up, and my face is almost there.)
  • Although I had some headaches initially when I began my detox last year, I have not had any headaches this year.
  • The older halves of both of my thumb nails are rougher and have more ridges than the newer halves. The newer halves (the last 3 or so months’ growth) look smoother, clearer and healthier than the older halves.

As I reduce the toxins in my liver and body I will see more and better health results, including the slow reversal of my Dupuytren’s Contracture. Dr. Smith has explained the root cause of Dupuytren’s in a couple of his videos, how it can be reversed, and it makes complete sense to me. Basically, your body will heal on its own—when it is low in toxins and receives the (only a few) minerals it needs.

Draining the toxins from your liver will take some time, especially if you are no longer in your 20s or 30s. But it is worth it! A year, or two, or three will pass by in no time anyway and you’ll be glad you’ve been following the detox program for that long. It does not matter what condition you have. It does not matter that your condition is considered by the mainstream to be “genetic” or “rare.” You can begin to reverse it by following the Love Your Liver program.

Lastly, Who Are You Following?

When Covid started, we were told, “be careful who you follow,” as we have been lied to for so long and our health has been under attack for a long time. Even investment banker and former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the Bush administration Catherine Austin Fitts, who was charged with repairing the department’s reputation in the aftermath of the savings and loan crisis, in an interview August 12, 2021 with Del Bigtree on the Highwire, stated that Covid is not about a virus, it is an agenda involving banksters, big money and reducing human life expectancy. (This is consistent with the narrative I have noticed recently being pushed by some individuals, including some doctors, that you should be happy if you get to be in your late-sixties—because that is considered old age.)

BTW, in March 2020 when I was sent home from work, I knew this. I knew the lockdowns were not about some so-called virus (viruses are not what they say they are anyway). Rather, it was an evil power grab.

This is why I am so glad to have found Dr. Smith as an ally and guide to truly better my health, and I am happy to be able to share my experiences with you.

Lastly, you may want to see a video of Dr. Smith from four years ago at this link below:

In this post I am sharing something nutrition-related that I have been up to the last two months, since around March 7th. I believe you will be fascinated with this information—as I was when I first got introduced to it.

I have been seeking this information for at least 10 years now, for one specific health condition, much longer if I include other complaints I had, such as low blood sugar and dermatitis. You see, it is about 10 years ago that I wrote a blog post about trying to reverse my Dupuytren’s contracture, which is a tightening of the ligaments of one or more fingers. For me, it was affecting my left-hand ring finger. I believe I finally found my answer.

The last 10 years I tried the gluten-free approach as well as supplements that are supposed to help with arthritis (gelatin, collagen, minerals, etc.). I tried homeopathy and psycho-emotional release. The Autumn of 2020 I even tried a two-month-long smoothie and juice cleanse. The practitioner promised it would dissolve the calcium deposits and soften the tissue. But the opposite happened at the end of my eight-week “cleanse”: my Dupuytren’s contracted an additional two or three degrees. One morning I woke up, felt a tightening sensation in my ring finger, and witnessed it happen right in front of my eyes.

Family members were concerned. Why haven’t you had the surgery done? Why did you let this go on for so long? What is wrong with you?

How could I explain that something in me was having me hold out for discovering the solution to the reversal of this condition? Perhaps I could be the first person to actually reverse Dupuytren’s syndrome? After all, no one seemed to know anyone who was able to reverse this stubborn condition. Surgery and / or drug injections were the only treatments the conventional medical side offered, and the condition often reappeared because the root cause was not addressed. The alternative medical side did not have any real solutions, either.

What’s more, something in me also had the suspicion that us humans were being poisoned. I remember a conversation with my cousin last summer at her home. “What do you think is making people sick if it’s not the virus,” she asked. “Poison; people are being poisoned,” I said, to which she just laughed.

Well, I hope I don’t have to explain about some poisons. Everyone knows about glyphosates in foods, “fortified” foods, pharmaceuticals and fluoride in tap water, air pollution, heavy metals, experimental and not-so-experimental poky-jabs, and on and on. But I did not know at the time that there was a poison affecting us all, of which we were completely clueless.

Anyway, the beginning of this year, I prayed to God for an answer to my Dupuytren’s. I had tried everything. I did not know what else to do. Then one evening at the beginning of March, when I was on a Telegram group that I follow for news, a member posted a comment that piqued my interest. He commented with something like, I don’t think these people are open to learning about true nutrition.

I responded immediately and asked him, who do you recommend has true nutrition information? And this is how I found naturopathic physician Dr. Garrett Smith.

Naturopath Dr. Garrett Smith’s New Paradigm in Nutrition

Dr. Garrett Smith is a 47-year-old licensed naturopathic physician in Tucson, Arizona. For the first decade-plus of his practice, he used all the tools that naturopathic medicine had to offer, including a variety of medical treatments, dietary approaches, supplements, and cleanses. He was open-minded and experimented with them all, trying everything on himself first, before offering it to his patients.

Yet when he was honest with himself, he was disappointed with the results. He found that nothing he did increased health in the long term, either for himself or his patients. There were some short-term benefits, as there usually are, but things just did not work all that well in the long term. (Exactly the way drugs lose their effects after taking them for a while.) Yet Dr. Smith would not give up in his search for the answers to true, long-term health.

A Canadian Engineer’s Astounding Health Recovery

About four years ago, after reading an interesting article a colleague had shared with him, Dr. Smith found what he was looking for in the form of an early-50s structural engineer who had reversed his kidney disease, full-body jaundice, and eczema. Four years prior, Grant Generoux was sent home by his kidney doctors to “make arrangements,” as their only option for treating his kidney disease was dialysis. They gave Grant a few months to live without it. If he went on the dialysis they recommended, he would get three to five years.

But Grant minded the eczema even more than the kidney disease, so he took a few hours to do some research in between appointments and created a spreadsheet of foods known to aggravate his eczema. This is when he discovered the common denominator in those foods: Vitamin A. And instead of the dialysis his doctors were recommending, Grant went on a super-low Vitamin A diet.

Grant has been on a super-low Vitamin A diet for over eight years now. His blood Vitamin A level has been below the detectable range for quite a while already. His health is improving all this time, as is his muscular strength. No more kidney disease, jaundice, eczema, and no more early dementia symptoms, either. His doctors have never seen kidney disease reversed, ever. Grant is currently 60 years old.

Grant’s noble goal is to be on his super-low Vitamin A diet for 10 full years, to prove that Vitamin A is not a vitamin, but a poison, and to remove its status as a vitamin. Amazing, huh?

Grant has a blog where he has kept track of his low Vitamin A journey. He also has three free eBooks you may download. Grant’s first book describes his health journey. The second one develops the ideas that Vitamin A is not a vitamin and that both Vitamin A and most drugs are poisons. Grant’s third book makes the case that breast cancer is the result of chronic poisoning, primarily Vitamin A poisoning. Here is the link to Grant Generoux’s blog:

Dr. Smith Develops the Vitamin A-is-a-Poison Hypothesis

Some years ago, a friend of Dr. Smith’s showed him an article about Vitamin A toxicity. Not long afterwards, he also learned about Grant Generoux’s kidney disease reversal. This is when Dr. Smith began to further develop the Vitamin-A-is-a-poison hypothesis into a comprehensive “toxic bile theory.”

Dr. Smith helps people detox from Vitamin A and other toxins as quickly and as safely as possible, so they can finally regain their health. He has helped people with their skin issues, chronic fatigue, infertility, autism, Lyme disease, osteoporosis, and many other diseases. He even reversed a client’s Type 1 diabetes. Pretty much every health condition out there can be helped on a low Vitamin A diet. Plus, people lose weight and inches off their midsection, and gain bone- and muscle mass without even trying. Earlier this week, Dr. Smith completed his 92nd weekly “Nutrition Detective” YouTube livestream.

The Love-Your-Liver Paid Program

Or, like me, you may jump in and sign up for his paid online course, the Love-Your-Liver program (in the Membership tab on his website). This course is a complete and detailed do-it-yourself program. If you have any questions, you may ask them on his weekly livestream. Or you may wish to get more support and sign up for a consultation.

I started getting into Dr. Smith’s Love-Your-Liver program around March 7th. I still have not gone through the entire course, but have significantly changed my diet according to the program’s guidelines. I have a small testimonial to share about my experience so far:

“I have been following the ‘Love Your Liver’ guidelines for about six weeks now and already see improvements in my skin. It is no longer dry. In fact, in the winter I always applied lip gloss several times a day to keep them from becoming too dry, but recently went a few days forgetting to put it on. My lips and face are not dry, and the dry, scaly skin on my legs has gone away. Also, a pockmark from childhood chicken pox that was over the last few years constantly irritated from me picking at it (because it was expelling a bit of whitish material) is now healing. (OMG!) I am sleeping better, too. I know this program works and am looking forward to discovering other positive effects.”

About a couple weeks into the program though, after pouring over pages of reading material and watching hours of video, I decided to stop at a local health food store for a few items. The entrance was packed with mountains of super-high Vitamin A foods.

High Vitamin A foods

This is when it hit me. I walked around that health food store as though I were walking on the Moon. Both sides. Both sides of the medical system (conventional / alternative) have been duped, and whoever is in charge of this clown show has been doing, is doing, their utmost to make us sick.

This post is getting long so I will end it here. In my next post, I will go into the details of why I believe Dr. Smith’s program will reverse my Dupuytren’s, as well as increasing my general health. I hope you sign up for Dr. Smith’s free course and share this post with your friends and family.

Remember, light is shining more and more on this planet and people are finally re-membering (putting all the pieces together) how to heal themselves. The way I see it, God will not rob you of the incredible and empowering opportunity to do it for yourself, to pull ourselves up out of the hole we dug ourselves into.

God bless you and your family!
