Dr. Parcells was once interviewed by Alternative Medicine Digest many years ago and shared her Top 12 Long Life Keys. Here they are for your consideration: For the first 105 years of her unusually productive life, Dr. Parcells has been a local legend in New Mexico, but with the imminent publication of her memoirs, Life in Balance, (co-written with Joseph Dispenza) by a major New York publisher she is poised to rapidly (become deservedly) become a national legend. No matter: when you’re 60 years ahead of your time and you know the secrets of long life, you can afford to wait until your twelfth decade for recognition to catch up with you. As Dr. Parcells quips, “Don’t say die; say damn, and keep going. Dying is easy, but it’s living that’s difficult.” This technique will rid the food items of harmful toxins, chemicals, sprays, and poisons, and it will noticeably improve the flavor and shelf life of the foods.

Bathing is viewed more for relaxation than detoxification as a general rule. The focus on bathing enjoyment can be observed worldwide in the plethora of artificially scented, hormone disrupting bubble bath concoctions that are sold in stores, year around. This means that the key to longevity and healing involves paying attention to acid and alkaline balance, and we should try to introduce more acidity to the cells by using nutritious food to do so, not by eating junk food, of course. Moving into energy medicine, she explored homeopathy, light and color therapies, Bach Flower remedies, radionics, and other modalities, and grasped the unity of body/mind/spirit medicine long before its reinvention in the New Age. Ever humble, she never took credit for cures, preferring to quip, ‘Only taxidermists and undertakers do curing.’Peroxide will kill any anaerobic germs in the water and on your skin. Use coconut oil on the skin after baths, if your skin feels a little dry. If you want to do a pregnancy detox, consult with your healthcare practitioner before commencing any cleansing bath routine.

She had spent her life, like so many others of her generation, dependent on and trusting in the advice of conventional physicians, yet now they had abandoned her as untreatable. They gave her a bottle of useless tablets, warning her she could drop dead any minute and waved her goodbye. I never heard of her methods not working,” said Sam Berne, O.D., the Santa Fe-based author of Creating a Personal Vision: A Mind/Body Guide to Better Eyesight (Color Stone Press, 1994). “Her reputation was impeccable. She didn’t work with disease. She just cleaned up the body.” And she never spoke of “cures.” “Only taxidermists and undertakers do curing,” she told Dispenza. “As for miracles, no it’s just nature’s way.” Before cooking with them, soak all your fruits, eggs, meats, and vegetables in a bath of Chlorox and water, at the rate of 1 teaspoon Chlorox to 1-gallon water. Make sure it is the old-fashioned, pure Chlorox; this is hydrochloric acid, not chlorine. Divide your foods into the following categories and soak no longer than the time listed: leafy vegetables (10-15 minutes); root vegetables (15-30 minutes), thin-skinned berries (10-15 minutes), heavy-skinned fruits (15-30 minutes), eggs (20-30 minutes), thawed meats (5-10 minutes per pound).As she healed her lungs, heart, and kidneys, she came to appreciate how crucial is the electromagnetic energy in foods. “In fact, I learned that this electromagnetic energy is life itself.” She also learned that it is necessary to carefully preserve this life energy through correct methods of food preparation, combination, and cooking. For Dr. Parcells, “correct” means scientific, so she devised unique ways of actually measuring the energy values of foods, body organs, and states of wellness and illness. Then she calculated how to match these 3 factors to optimize health. Raymond Dextreit, the French naturopath who popularized the clay cure in his own country, says that clay “transcends its purely physical properties. Most of the poisons in the body,” Dextreit notes, “are positively charged, whereas clay has a negative electrical attraction. These toxins cannot resist being drawn toward the clay.”

Taking a hydrogen peroxide bath is mildly drying to the skin. Using some natural body lotion in the form of coconut oil or tissue oil after your bath is recommended. How Detox Baths Work Her mission is dedicated to helping families effectively incorporate the principles of ancestral diets within the modern household. She is a sought after lecturer around the world for conferences, summits, and podcasts. Prepare a fresh batch of Chlorox water for each category of foods; dispose of baths after use. Soak all Chlorox-water treated foods in a freshwater bath for 5-10 minutes before using. “This treatment has been used for the last 30 years by many families, saving them untold expenses for illness with no unfavorable reports,” says Dr. Parcells.

All you need is a large bowl or basin about a foot deep.

Dr. Parcells’ line of research and practical results were years ahead of mainstream so-called science, and they still are. Today she is tutor to several hundred M.D.s who study regularly with her; she likes to watch their skepticism change into true belief. “They start off scoffing but they end up praying,” she says with a giggle. If you catch Dr. Parcells indulging in giggles, she is just as likely to get somber about the unbelievable decline in the quality of the Western diet and the equally awesome deterioration and polluting of the environment-all of which she has witnessed firsthand and documented in the last 60 years.Dissolve 4 cups of aluminum-free baking soda (source) in a regular size tubful of water as hot as you can tolerate. Use more as needed if your tub is oversized. Stay in the bath until the water has cooled which will take approximately 45 minutes. Do not rinse after the bath. Simply towel dry. Dr. Parcells’ system of scientific living and kitchen chemistry begins and ends in food. Almost everyone knows today that the quality of our vegetables is shameful compared to what it used to be, and even buying organic vegetables is no guarantee you will be getting high-quality nutrients in your diet. That’s because our soils are grossly impoverished and poisoned, worn out from several generations of agribusiness chemicals. According to the Epsom Salt Industry Council, a simple soak is beneficial to the heart and circulatory health, can lower blood pressure, helps ease muscle pain and eliminates harmful substances from the body. It also improves nerve function by encouraging proper regulation of electrolytes. Hydrogen peroxide baths are indicated for detoxification, inflammatory, autoimmune and degenerative diseases and cancers. Small amounts of hydrogen peroxide can activate several genes that are responsible for clearing tissue debris and improves venous and lymphatic circulation.

We often recommend the use of Epsom salts, essential oils, and herbal infusions for peroxide bath soaks.
