Q&A from Smoothie Shred facebook group 12/20/18

[@sherminerosa]

Hi Dr Goldner. You're awesome. I'm a lupus patient from 2012 on 400mg plaquenil and 20mg prednisone with other supplements. Then I was put on azathioprine which I had to stop because it was affecting my liver and kidney. I've been following you for some time. Overtime maybe last 2-3 years I've made gradual changes in my diet like cutting out all animal products, dairy, oil, sugar, flour, pasta, grains and refined foods. From the time I cut out meat I haven't had any protein in my urine which I was getting every time I did my bloodworks. Also, since cutting out dairy as well I haven't had excruciating menstrual cramps. I dreaded my cycle every month. Thank God pain is a thing of the past. Now it comes and I don't even know. Good stuff. Anyway, for breakfast I had large bowls of a variety of local fruits in season and pumpkin and breadfruit porridge with bananas, dates, flax and chia seeds. YUMMY. For lunch, I had ground provisions, beans/ peas with a large salad. For dinner, I'd probably have a fruit. I drink lots of water throughout the day. I did that for months and I was able to taper the prednisone to 7.5mg. Until Oct 2018, I told my husband I will do large salads only for lunch. I did it for a month and decided to do smoothies for breakfast as well. Miraculously, 3 full glasses of smoothies kept me til lunch. And the large salads kept me til dinner. Sometimes, I ate not because I was hungry but just because I started losing weight. To me it wasn't good because I'm not big. Anyway, with support from my husband to not worry about it, I brushed the thought aside because I was seeing results. I was able to taper to 2.5mg prednisone with no pain. I thank God I haven't had pain or swollen joints since Jan 2018 when I decided to have a slice of plain cake. Worst mistake ever but I haven't had junk food since. In addition to the change in diet is having support. Apart from God, my greatest support has been my husband who jumped on board with the salads only for lunch and also doing the green smoothies for the 6 weeks with me. That's so unheard of and so cool. I sooo love this guy. Also, I exercise, get 8 hours of sleep most days in a ventilated room and spend quality time with God for strength. In November 2018, my wonderful husband gifted me with a vitamix and an omega juicer. I started the 6 week protocol right away. I do 1pound of a variety of greens. Half pound for breakfast and the other half for lunch. And I do vegetables and fruit juices for dinner. I was able to taper to 1.25mg with no pain. I will be ending week 5 tomorrow and looking forward to week 6. Right now as I write, today is 6 days since I haven't taken prednisone and I feel normal. I give God all the praise. Oh! I forgot to mention I stopped the plaquenil late November because it was making my eyes very waxy. I just never replenished when it finished. I will still continue the green smoothies at the end of the 6 weeks when I reincorporate plant based foods into my diet. It feels good not to be popping tablets every morning. I am on my way to reversing lupus and healing myself with the Power of God by eating the way He recommended originally. Looking forward to my bloodworks after. With all that said I'd like to encourage every lupus patient to give the 6 week green smoothie protocol a try. All you have to lose is just money spent on vegetables and a blender. So what?!

[@ahliyahabibullah317]

hi thanks lot sister u give me courage after reading ur comments me too lupus patient I'm on 10mg prenidsolone n plaqunil an celcept also I'm fed up wiz zis medicine now

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your story to inspire others to take back their health!

[@kimj4133]

Shermine Rosa I was instructed to take plaquenil & prednisone 2yrs ago when I got lupus diagnosis however I did my research never took plaquenil only took prednisone when I was in severe pain 2yrs later I feel great change your diet change your life!!! Hope all is good with you stay strong Let go Let God!!

[@quar08]

Thanks for sharing this! I’m going to start the protocol by my own. I’ll see my doctor in 6 weeks so I let you guys know. Thanks for encouraging me to do this. Thanks a lot dr G. The World needs more people like you, god bless you guys.

[@fmjules0569]

I am loving what am reading and hearing...To God be the glory!!!..I am also a victim of lupus....thanks for all the info

[@cerenadefalco7684]

I'm very happy to see this video. I backed off the diet a long time ago because my doctors said I didn't produce enough red blood cells. With what I was eating I didn't have iron so I started eating read meat to compensate. This set me in a downward spiral and just this morning I got out of the hospital because of a horrendous flair up. I'm going to do this again and I'm going to the classes. I don't know how to build my red blood cells but I'm going to take notes and do this the right way this time.

[@freezermealswithlisa]

I am so grateful for this video and your smoothie shred group your gift to us all, all the free information God Belss you both!

My Endocrinologist said I can not take vaccines because my body can’t fight it off so I could get what they were giving the vaccine for.

[@Trenchant468]

Sjogrens dental question: over brushing can be it’s own problem, and if you’re sipping all day, it won’t solve the issue. The xylitol gum makes sense, and you can add baking soda to your water mouth rinse, but spit it out. I’d suggest drinking a set amount every hour, followed by a water/baking soda swish or gum, or both. Then focus on water intake between shots of smoothie.

[@risakmendkhar2776]

I m happy to see a person especially a doctor who was a patient and a survivor of lupus nephritis...and helping others to get back to live... I m lupus nephritis patient and on steroids and other immuno suppressive drugs... How can i join the Q and A program

[@ashleycerullo1456]

I was fully raw for 2 years and got better then worse. I kept getting dizzy and having severe histamine reactions to things like oranges and spinach. 5 years later after 2 more kids and keto for 3 years and I'm much better, but I still feel my best with green juices and smoothies. I wish I could live off them for eternity lol

[@CalmVibesVee]

I have histamine issues and understand this struggle. As we heal our gut this can heal too but i think it takes awhile. You can do green smoothies low carb 💚. I dont use spinach (oxalate sensitive). I use the darkest romaine - usually Sprouts has the best i can find, also arugula, celery, cucumber, etc. I’m recovering from horrific sibo. Im currently finding my kale, flax/chia threshold as my microbiome & bowel function heal. Lots of water in my smoothie. I eat and blend lots of iceberg too because i love it.i hope you can find a balance with your green juices again.

[@rivkasassler1143]

[@tonymaurice4157]

Animal products are bad! Keto is the worst!

[@wallyevans4228]

expensive to make appointments as r some other plant based docs. I understand ones health is worth every penny but most people don’t have $400 to thousands to spend.

[@BrookeGoldnerMD]

That is why I help the public for free as much as I can! You can watch and learn my protocol for free right now, come to free Q&A sessions and watch and learn with my channel. So many people have messaged me that they healed without ever meeting me with my free content.

[@wallyevans4228]

Thanks for replying dr Brooke …I wasn’t picking on you …as all plant docs are expensive for the avg person. Thanks for all u do and ur free classes.

[@mackenziebrady8710]

I’m surprised about what you said about vaccines considering your other conclusions about health. Have you read a vaccine insert? I would also be curious what your thoughts would be about the film Vaccines Revealed.

[@BrookeGoldnerMD]

Yes I spent a lot of time reviewing the research before deciding to vaccinate my kids - I have healthy skepticism considering my history with illness. The research is overwhelming that vaccines save lives. That is why I vaccinate. I base all my actions on results, and the results convinced me. My kids have done well with them. I understand it can be scary to make medical decisions nowadays - we must make the best decisions we can.

[@rubyellis.5472]

Vaccines do cause autoimmunity. Not one single vaccine has been safety tested against inert placebo. Vaccines are considered to be "biologicals" not "drugs" and do not go through the same safety studies as drugs do. Vaccines 101 | Dr. Sherri Tenpenny kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHXKaHaLnZpmr9U

[@rubyellis.5472]

Deaths from vaccines decreased before vaccines were invented. So the vaccines were not responsible for the decrease of deaths. korenwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/charts-and-graphs-1024x715.png Deaths from disease deceased before the vaccines were invented. vaclib.org/intro/present/njpage6.gif

25:00 "Merck lied about this (Gardasil HPV) vaccine. It deceived the regulators. It deceived the public. The vaccine, there is no proof that the vaccine does anything to solve the problem of cervical cancer. There is indications the vaccine actually gives you cancer. And if I am misstating anything - I know what I am talking about. And I'm saying this, not on belief, but because it's true. And I'm saying it that way, so that Merck will sue me if I'm saying something wrong. And they won't." ROBERT F. KENNEDY Jr. Press Conference - The Science of Vaccines Forum kzbin.info/www/bejne/borJZWCGZ9aVftE&feature=emb_title

[@rubyellis.5472]

Listen to the extreme lengths the Center for Disease Control CDC goes through to prevent scientific researchers from accessing vaccine safety data. The CDC commits fraud regularly in covering up studies that show vaccines are not safe and not effective. Geier & Geier: Autism Mercury, Thimerosol & the VSD (2005). Father and son wanted to do a vaccine safety study using the CDC (Center for Disease Control) VSD (Vaccine Safety Datalink) study & Verstraeten thirmerasol study. They are the only researchers who have ever been allowed to view the VSD data kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmGVha18jtlnqKM

great video. Doctor Goldner, I know eating green veges all day is good for me how much flax seed in a day is allowed I don't want to overdo it... thx u

[@JenniferHernandez-vh4iw]

I just came across your page. I just made a massive green smoothie. It's good! I know you mentioned 1/2 cup of flax seeds or chia. I don't know if u follow a low fat high carb or what your rule is. I know flood as much nutrients from greens in. I reversed pre diabetes and chronic migraines and inflammation. But i need to finish losing my 15 pounds i have sitting here. It's been months since ive lost anything. I thought changing things would help. Cause i also found myself putting bad processed stuff in my mouth and that needs to stop. So i was just trying to learn more about your plan. U should make a recipe book! I been just trying to watch videos and read up on your stuff to learn more. What else do i eat ? Are u raw

[@BrookeGoldnerMD]

the rapid recovery protocol is all raw but not required. Adding the raw components is a great first step. The rapid recovery protocol is also the rapid fat loss protocol so do that with HIIT exercise and fat falls off quickly!

[@JenniferHernandez-vh4iw]

@@BrookeGoldnerMD is there more info on that? Okay like 3 weeks ago i did raw but didn't lose not 1 pound lol so i got discouraged. In the raw world they believe in very low fat. That's why i was asking u if your plan is low fat. I honestly never done completely raw so that first week im like what the heck do i eat...?? as i kept looking into it lots of raw videos they ate lots and lots of fruit. Maybe that's why i didn't lose. I felt great and felt thin Haha lots of restroom..💩 but no budge on scale. I do workout thank you! I just got to learn your plan so i can be on board and not confused.

[@BrookeGoldnerMD]

@@JenniferHernandez-vh4iw No my plan is very high in fats from omega-3 fatty acids (chia and flax) and unlimited avocados. My plan is not a typical raw diet, it is a specific plan to optimize cellular metabolism and health.

[@JenniferHernandez-vh4iw]

@@BrookeGoldnerMD do u know were i can get more information? To learn about it

Hello I haven’t been officially diagnosed with lupus but I have all symptoms and I’m on medication to treat it but I’m sick and tired of the side effects of the prednisone and I don’t want to deal with this all my life. I’m 14 and I want to get better and I was wonder how I could get in contact with you to follow this diet plan.

Yes of course, you can make an appointment at GoodbyeLupus.com. I would love to help you recover your health.

I know that you don't specifically work with cancer patients (and I know why... which will hopefully change soon) and you have a background with regard to leukemia. Have you worked with someone who was diagnosed with AML? If you were in their shoes would you think rapid recovery done 100% would be the way to go or including some cooked foods like beans or tofu? Maybe cycling the 6 week program every 4-6 months? Or back to back? Much love to you and your fam!❤🌱💛
