Sustainable Health: The Seven Steps Blueprint for Optimal Health

By Dr. Darren Schmidt, D.C

Over the 29 years of studying and practicing nutrition, I  have developed a seven-step blueprint for optimal health. My expectation is that patients will start to experience positive physical changes within a few weeks when following this regimen. As an example, I just helped a patient reverse her terrible heartburn 100% and get off the prescription drugs in four months.

Diet

The first step is making sure your diet, and therefore your body, is not loaded with sugar and carbs. If you have too much sugar in your blood from a high carbohydrate diet, organisms throughout your body will eat that sugar, flourish, and cause harm to your tissues. You have to starve these bad bugs by keeping their food supply, sugar, very low. Not feeding pathogenic bacteria which destroys your tissue is something everyone needs to do. 

I have also found that many people suffer  from anti-nutrients found in plants. They get symptoms such as heartburn, sore muscles, mucus production in the sinuses or throat, and other symptoms. Oxalates, Salicylates, Phytates, and Gluten are examples. If you have trouble with certain plants, search the name of the plant and the word “anti-nutrient” to see what comes up. Avoid these plants if they cause you trouble. 

My third, and last point on the diet, is that meat is not a cause of cancer or heart disease. 95% of nutrition research is survey, which provides opinion, hypothesis, and claims that meat is “associated” with these diseases. The 5% of research that is actual science shows that meat is protective or has no effect on these diseases. Don’t be afraid of eating meat. 

Energy Production in Our Cells

The second step of the seven-step blueprint is about enhancing energy production in your cells. Have you heard of ATP? That’s the energy your body makes in the cells. There are ways to enhance this so you can have a great immune system, remove toxins from cells, and be able to walk around all day without fatigue. Ketosis is one way to increase ATP production. Also, there are supplements that work to enhance ATP. Removing toxins and pathogenic organisms that create chemicals that harm the cells is important to restore maximum ATP production. You might ask, what symptoms do you get when your cells and body lack energy (ATP)? My answer is all of them. Any and all symptoms can occur when your cells don’t have the energy they need . 

Organs of Excretion— “Drainage”

The third step is making sure the “organs of excretion” that clean your body naturally are working well. These include the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, colon, sinuses, skin, and lungs. Herbs and nutritional supplements that support and enhance these organs are helpful here . 

Intestinal Parasites

Now you are ready for step four: cleaning the intestines of parasites, mucoid plaques, biofilm, and other garbage. It was only five years ago when a particular product called Para 1 came onto the market that does this really well . You see the results in the toilet. It is the best product for this I’ve ever seen in my 29 years of studying and practicing hardcore holistic nutrition. Most people need this cleaning. Why? Because you live on planet earth. 
Body Cleanse

Step five is cleaning your whole body from head to toe of a variety of organisms including parasites . There is one particular herbal supplement called Para 3 that is really effective at getting parasites out of the whole body. Myself, and many of my patients, have been through this step and have blown parasites and other super gross things out of the nose. About 60% of our patients actually see parasites come out of their body. Some of the parasites are microscopic and they cannot be seen. 

Detoxification

Step six is called “Powerful Detoxification.” Now you can detoxify your body of metals, plastics, chemicals, and radiation. When people take this step with the right supplements, their body, stool, and breath start smelling like plastic, burnt rubber, and other chemicals . These supplements are called “binders” because they bind to toxins and pull them out of the body. 

You know it is working when these smells from your body occur. Sounds gross? Toughen up! It’s how you get better. The other option is to take chemical medications to cover up your symptoms—but that is not healing. 

It is important to do these steps in the correct order because parasites (steps 4 and 5) harbor toxins so decreasing parasites has to come before powerful detoxification (step 6). The first three steps prepare your body for a deeper cleansing. 

Last But Not Least—The Cells

Step seven is when we finally get to the cells… all the cells in the body. There are about 80 organisms and toxins that live inside your cells—this is called ※Lyme disease .”  These organisms include microscopic parasites, fungi, bacteria, prions, viruses, and even some toxins. These pathogenic organisms come from any biting insect and is thought to also be spread in our food supply. They can cause tremendous harm. Not everyone needs this step because not everyone is really sick. A lot of people go through the earlier steps and get so much benefit that the cells can heal themselves from the inside. If you do need to complete step seven, all previous six steps need to be done first to have long-term beneficial results. 

Doing these steps incompletely, or in the incorrect order, is the main reason why complete healing does not occur—even if someone applies all the therapies available in the natural healthcare realm.

Everyone is used to taking in nourishment from supplements and diet, but if you have a four-foot tapeworm in your gut, what’s the point? You have to get that out first. If your body is saturated with plastic or other chemicals, why bother with a simple multi-vitamin? Spend your time and effort at getting the toxins and bad organisms out. Good organisms are not harmed throughout this seven-step program because no broad-spectrum antimicrobials are used.

I have run a lot of urine tests and found everyone is overloaded with chemical toxins such as herbicides, pesticides, plastic, and exhaust. Your focus needs to be on returning your cells, tissues, and organs to their natural state. After you have detoxed all toxins and pathogens, add in nutrients on an ongoing basis to optimize organ and cell function .
