Secret Knowledge – to understanding how adverse health conditions can develop. Conquer these and you achieve Vibrant Health.
In our quest to share information and assist you in healing, we are offering a full series of articles on Secret Knowledge to Vibrant Health. Each article will cover a specific topic to help assist in understanding different conditions, why they occur, how you can help yourself heal and of course products that will align with each topic.
But we are adding a twist to the series in honour of Dr Hulda Clark and Louise L. Hay – two amazing icons that have blessed us with amazing modalities of healing.
Honouring Two Icons of Healing
The one, Dr Hulda Clark, who has over 80 years or more research behind her protocols dealing with physical and emotional aspects, toxins and parasites. Few figures in natural health have left a body of work as detailed, structured, and courageous as Dr Hulda Clark. Her research challenged conventional thinking by identifying root causes of disease rather than focusing solely on symptom management. Through decades of investigation, clinical observation, and application, she developed protocols that restored the body’s ability to heal itself by systematically removing obstacles to the healing process.
Dr Hulda Clark’s work was not philosophical guesswork. It was grounded in repeatable patterns she observed across thousands of cases. She identified parasites, environmental toxins, heavy metals, and organ congestion as consistent contributors to chronic illness and disease progression. Her greatest contribution was not only what she identified, but how she structured healing: detoxification must follow order.
Her protocols emphasised that the body heals when interference is removed. This principle remains the foundation of my work today through Herba Farmacy – Natural Healing Modalities and handmade manufactured products. Our purity, quality and superiority of strength is a key ingredient paired with energy work, respect of each component we make use of and the love and care we pride ourselves in when manufacturing.

And Louise L. Hay, an amazing teacher and motivational author who has given us a gift of clear vision and tools by aligning emotional issues to physical ailments.
We invite you to join us on this amazing journey of self-discovery, self-healing and sharing… to achieve the health status we are meant to live in: VIBRANT HEALTH.
Series No 1 – It All Starts with Acidity
Acidity – the silent debilitator of health
Currently, there is a new thought process developing in our world about health. You may know about it, but do you understand it and how it works? Traditionally we have been programmed to believe that the body is a faulty machine that needs to be fixed, monitored and changed, either through chemicals or rather invasive methods. We have been taught that we must suppress all symptoms with chemicals and thoughts that are quick fixes. They do not heal you; they suppress your symptoms; they teach you to ignore the messages that your body sends to you to take heed of something happening that is out of balance.
This new thought about health has actually been around for some time now… Holistic Health. The pattern of thought now is that your body is very capable of healing itself. This is achieved by your participation. You are the one who feels your body’s cries of pain and discomfort. World famous Louise Hay was one of the first teachers to help us understand and listen to our bodies by aligning every illness, dis-ease and ailment with an emotional issue or thought process. By looking inward at how we think, speak, act and feel we are beginning to understand that health is a holistic modality. Complete and long-lasting healing comes from many angles, and it is up to us to make the necessary changes to align the balance of our bodies. This is done in three parts: the foods and liquids we consume, the products we use on our bodies and in our home, and finally what we believe, think, feel and say. By applying all these modalities to our lifestyles, we honour our bodies as the magnificent creations they truly are. We can continue to fight our bodies, or we can start to trust them once more. We can begin to believe our bodies are whole, unique healing organisms that only require our attention and support to maintain vibrant health.
To begin the series of Vibrant Health our first topic is ACIDITY!
Why Acidity Matters
Would it surprise you to know that a huge amount of your painful ailments, dis-ease and illness originate with acidity? Your body is very complex and advanced in its make-up.
One of the key understandings in the development of the science of health and its maintenance is that the body, when properly nourished and oxidative stress reduced, can repair itself to an extraordinary degree. The problem of living in today’s timeline is that our lives are filled with stress, toxic exposure, bad nutrition and fast-paced living. Short of optimal functioning, our bodies struggle to maintain balance and vibrant health.
Acidity is responsible for the largest portion of our ailments. When our pH is acidic, our oxygen levels drop. Your “Inner Oceans” – blood/water – are defined as the balance between electrodes and oxygen. Oxygen is the healer of the body and is the hallmark of immune defences. Oxygen destroys pathogens and rids the body of all unwanted debris. Without oxygen the acceleration of erosion to connective tissue, cell structuring, hormones and enzymes is very evident. DNA strands get crippled, and a body with low oxygen and high acidity leads to inflammation which in turn leads to dis-ease. We need oxygen to burn carbon, add to it Vit D (sunshine) and now the oxygen can be delivered through the alkaline blood to the rest of the body.
To maintain vibrant health the pH should be between 7.35–7.45, which is slightly alkaline. Maintaining this range is crucial for optimal bodily functions.
Let’s look at the inflammation alongside acidity. You have an acidic body that is now low in oxygen (remember alkalinity carries oxygenated blood through the body); this produces inflammation, the first signal to us that our bodies are struggling to heal or maintain a balance. If we (as discussed earlier) suppress the symptoms (through chemical painkillers which you have been conditioned to do), the next phase the body will use to get our attention is erosion. Erosion is the wearing down of joints/muscle/cells/cellular structures/ageing etc. This will now reflect in our systems as painful conditions like arthritis, inflamed joints, tense tight muscles, torn tendons and ligaments, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, acid reflux, kidney issues etc.
Acidity and lack of oxygen, plus a toxic internal environment, will eventually lead to crystal deposits. These deposits create a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and parasites. These unwanted passengers will over time excrete huge amounts of waste products, hatchlings and eggs into your blood stream, joints, muscles, cells and organs. These critters are very resourceful and will hide in the most unlikely places to avoid being detected. So, this follows that to detox at least twice per year, change the diet to living, clean, nourishing food, hydrate well and reduce toxic intake in food and body products is a primary and easy action to put in place.
Drinking sufficient good quality re-mineralised water assists the kidneys to successfully rid the body of excess acids and unwanted by-products. Water directly nourishes the cells, supports the body’s natural detox organs and systems and helps reduce acidic conditions.
Building a sufficient base to neutralise acids is of the highest importance, as these acids are temporarily stored in connective tissue and muscle walls awaiting to be neutralised. If the neutralisation does not happen, we get “chronic overload” – high levels of acid in the blood that disturbs the catabolic pathways (building and breaking down of molecules). Your cellular structures depend on the right pH for optimal form and function.
Stomach pH 1–3, Pancreas pH 10, Intestines pH 6–7 are a few indicators – see the chart below:
The heart distributes c.7500 litres of blood through approximately 95 000 km of blood vessels every day. Blood stimulates all the organs and tissues, transporting oxygen and nourishment to every single cell in the body. High acidity levels and lack of good quality water reduce the heart’s ability to flow and pump correctly and thus prevent the blood from reaching the tiny capillaries. The result is a lack of oxygen to the system which encourages pathogens, parasites and fungus to grow. (Remember, illness like cancer cannot grow in alkaline systems.)
The body lacking oxygen and high in acidity will resort to survival mode. This is when the body starts to draw what it needs from bone, muscle, and organs. It will do this to create a base (from the nutrients it can draw) to try and convert from an acidic system to an alkaline system. This is where the issue gets serious. Conditions that are very painful will reveal themselves in all the above-mentioned ailments and more: gout, kidney congestion, gall and liver issues, back pain, to name a few more for you.
To understand that acidity is a rather important topic is putting it mildly. Simple applications that are easy and effortless that you can apply will save you many hours of pain and discomfort. The simple solution is to synergistically work with your body, not against it.
Dealing with Acidity – Products that Combat Acidity
Here are a few tips to assist you in alkalising and cleaning your system, and tagged on behind are our products we recommend you use. There are so many products that are excellent to assist you on your journey of vibrant health.

Dietary Changes
Cut out all gluten, wheat, sugar, coffee and tea. Change your diet to one that feeds and nourishes your body with living foods (salads, fresh veggies) and alkalising nutrients. Kick the junk and fast foods industry, it only harms you. Use coconut oil for cooking in place of margarine and butter; it can handle the high heat without carcinogenic factors. Use it for oil pulling to maintain healthy gums, teeth and salivary glands and reduce cholesterol levels naturally. Use olive oil for cold applications only.

Exercise and Movement
Exercise at least twice a week – yoga, walking, cycling, Pilates or Tai Chi. My favourite, and I can attest to the functionality of it because I have applied it myself, is Qigong. A simple and easy system to follow that will deliver surprising results. I injured my back and developed two compound fractures. The discomfort and pain were unbearable. I applied the Art of Qigong Ren Xue, specifically designed for injury and gentle movements… I have full mobility back, no pain and an added bonus – vibrant health.
Hydration
Drink living water that is re-mineralised – minimum 2 litres per day is important to flush your system of toxins and acidity. We have a marvellous piece of equipment that I personally use called a Water for Life – Structured Water Device H3O2.

Mould Control
Small pinch of Bicarbonate of Soda on the back of your hand, sniff through one nostril, then repeat in the other nostril. Kills off all mould or pathogens in the nasal passages and throat.
Bicarbonate of Soda 100g reduces acidity in the system and assists alkaline blood high in oxygen to be transported through the body.
Inflammation Control
Turmeric is probably one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory herbs around. Not only does it remove fluoride from the system, it fights inflammation, is stronger than Ibuprofen as a painkiller without the side effects, kills off tummy flu in two doses when combined with Fennel and Lugol’s, reduces pain in the lining of the stomach, and in The Golden Drink boosts the immune system and feeds our cells. Turmeric capsules: 2 per day.
Organic Turmeric Capsules
Ginger is regarded as one of the best anti-inflammatory and painkiller herbs for arthritis and migraine headaches. It is widely used for nausea and builds strong immune systems. It has proven to be a powerful herb to fight cancer. Available in tincture or capsule form.
Organic Ginger Capsules
Lugol’s Iodine, which has been around for centuries and is well known for its medicinal benefits, is one of the 67 (to date) identified minerals that are essential and crucial to life and health. But sadly, Lugol’s Iodine is not as well known in households as it should be, given its paramount importance for good health. Iodine deficiency is present in 99.99% of the populace today, and what is worse, the deficiency in most people is huge. I was so humbled by this liquid when we assisted a client in saving his hand after being diagnosed with gout.
Lugol’s Iodine Solution 50ml
MSM is especially popular as part of an arthritis diet and supplementation plan to treat arthritis, osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease since it helps form connective tissue and repairs joints, tendons and ligaments. It also builds back and increases bone density. MSM serves as an important source of natural bio-available dietary sulfur, a mineral that plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and elasticity of connective and other tissues. It is an important component of proteins found throughout the body, such as in hair, nails, skin and tendons.

L-Cysteine is essential in the body due to its main functions, which include reducing inflammation, joint health, arthritis, anti-ageing ability, boosting the immune system and combating osteoporosis. Cysteine is an amino acid needed by the body to make proteins, which perform numerous life-sustaining functions in the body. Cysteine occurs naturally in foods and is also manufactured in the body if sufficient methionine is available.
L-Cysteine 500mg
Sleep Patterns
L-Ornithine – difficulty sleeping can seriously impact your well-being and affect your ability to function in everyday life. While self-help techniques, certain medications and herbal remedies can offer relief from your symptoms, L-Ornithine supplementation can help promote sleep.

Immunity
Echinacea stimulates the overall activity of the cells responsible for fighting off all kinds of infection. Unlike antibiotics, which directly attack bacteria, Echinacea makes our own immune cells more efficient at attacking bacteria, viruses and abnormal cells, including cancer cells. It increases the number and activity of the immune system cells.
Bone and Muscle Health
Borax – 20 Mule Team® Borax is 100% natural and 99.5% pure (there is about a half of 1% of naturally occurring trace minerals). Once removed from the ground it is washed, dried, and boxed for consumers. 20 Mule Team Borax comes from California where one of the world’s largest deposits was discovered in 1913. By using Borax in a drink mix, a wonderful natural dose of boron is derived to build back bone and muscle. Borax 20 Mule (suggested brand, Dr Hulda Clark) made into a drink delivers sufficient boron to build back bones and build muscle.
Stomach Acid
Hydrochloric Acid – the acidic environment in the stomach is vital to the proper dismantling of foods and the subsequent absorption of nutrients. Taking hydrochloric acid (HCL) supplements can promote optimal acidity. Most people use HCL 5% drops.
The Zapper
And last but not least of all, The Zapper is a lifetime tool that builds immunity by boosting the white blood cells into super cells. It kills off parasites, fungus and viruses and is used alongside ALL detox products. It enhances supplementation, enhances detox ability, is a magnificent painkiller, fights daily fatigue and boosts energy levels.

NB: Please bear in mind we are not suggesting you take all the above aids to balance your acidity levels, but have given suggestions that will assist you in making informative choices to eliminating your pain and discomfort.
The Emotional Side of Acidity – Louise Hay
To add to the above information, Louise Hay has assisted us in understanding the underlying emotional issues that acidity produces. In short:
- Pain – longing for love or to be held; stuck in pain and guilt
- Back Pain – represents support of life; carrying a heavy burden, unable to support self
- Bone – not sufficient support in life; life is heavy and difficult
- Gout – impatience, anger and need to dominate
- Heartburn/Acid – fear and rejection
- Inflammation – anger, frustration in your life
- Kidney Stones and Kidney – anger, criticism of self and others, failure, lumps of unresolved anger
- Joints – inflexibility, ego and pride, stubbornness, and being stuck and not willing to move
The understanding for all of us is that we have to be brutally honest with ourselves to be able to heal permanently and completely. To look deep within our own being and evaluate what ails us is our job and responsibility, and through this we reach a breakthrough into health, happiness and freedom.

Hi Desiree
I loved your article on acidity. Personally, I have found that keeping myself and my family alkaline is a massively beneficial thing to do on a daily basis, with profound benefits in health. We keep sickness and low energy at bay and enjoy really great health.
The article makes so much sense and after reading it, we make sure we take more alkaline mixtures more often, rather than less often. You can even eat the odd bad thing or have the odd bad day, but make up for it just before or just afterwards by alkalising the body again as soon as you can. That way, we shouldn’t attract any pathogens or parasites to feed off us and make us ill.
Many thanks
Pippa
Reply from Desiree Campher: You have got it! Most thoughts are that health is a JOB. It is our inherited right to be healthy, strong and powerful beings, but we have to do the work and take responsibility for our choices. Thank you for your support and passion. We need more like you and your family to be examples of what the Dr Hulda Clark protocols are capable of.
Congratulation!
