Experiences with imuno – a benefit to the immune system

Imuno™ – The Solution

This is the product and where you can buy it.

A year and a half ago, I took 3 high dose imuno suppositories over the course of a week. At the end of the week, all of a sudden, the skin glands of my face had tiny pockets of pus come out of my pores.  An hour later gunmetal gray powder came out of my pours as well.  I had to scrub it with a face cloth.  By taking too much at one time, it popped through the pressure system of the cranial nerves and “blew a bit of dust through the pores”.

My body calmed down and the heavy metals moved out in an orderly fashion with no event or healing crisis.  I have never had so many heavy metals move at once.  I was delighted.  For me, that means, I got rid of it and it won’t hurt me when I am older.  But on the ground at that moment, it was as if a train going down my spine filled with train cars of heavy metal.  It went to the back of the sacrum and then and out through the colon.

This migration was not uncomfortable.  But I was also not at “full function” with mental acuity.   I simply sat there and waited for the train to pass.  When it did, my brain was bright and clear!  The heavy metal was aluminum and apparently came out from the brain stem.  I rejoiced.   I am grateful to get the metals out.

One of my customers was able to move out of a devastating condition in a few months.  When I got my own imuno, I called him to see what he was doing.   He told me that he was taking 11 drops of Rerum (this was a while ago and would be like 8 drops of imuno) twice per week in a nebulizer.  That seemed like a very small price to pay to have disease removed.  I asked my husband to do it with me.

We got out our brand new nebulizer, the vial of imuno, and a syringe.  We took the product out of the vial with a syringe to keep it sterile.  We counted out the number of drops that we wanted from the syringe.  I put some tape over some side holes of the mouth piece.  I used it under my nose.  We put the drops straight into the cup of the nebulizer, turned it on, and took a few inhalations until the liquid was gone.

The nebulizer is like a fish bubbler.  It just pushes air through tubes.  So when we want to inhale, we turn the motor on and keep it on until we are done inhaling then turn it off. I usually hold my breath until I feel the exchange is complete then breath out and take some normal breaths to get comfortable.  After a rest, we take another breath from the nebulizer.  I usually let all the air out and really empty my lungs yoga style before inhaling the imuno so that I can start through the whole breath from the beginning.  It didn’t take many more than 4 breaths all total!

The treatment left a dazzling clean spot the size of a peach in the center of my bronchial tubes as well as another ball shape inside my sinuses.  It is beautifully clean and amazing feeling!  I could breathe and exchange oxygen so maybe 80% better for a little while until my breath went back into a slower more sedentary pattern!   I began to investigate why I felt so good.   I  exercise so it wasn’t about being in shape or getting more oxygen into my body.  It was something else.

The second dose was 3 days later and it was even more telling!  I breathed in the imuno, it sailed right through the nice clean part, and spread out into the next adjacent area which became all sparkling clean!   It was like blowing up the balloon, the clean part was now bigger by 1/3 of an inch more in both my lungs and my sinuses.

I enjoyed that clean shiny feeling for a few days.  Then, three days later, I was ready for some more.  I took another dose with the same result. Wow!  My head was much clearer than I ever saw it!

The next dose began to challenge my willingness to heal.  I felt a little tired.  It didn’t feel uncomfortable but I was working!   So I waited until the 4th day to see if I could change it up.  This is when I realized that the crisp clean line between clean and whatever I was before, got a tiny bit fuzzy.  I knew that I preferred the clean hands down!  I knew that I wanted to go back to 3 days.  So I did.

Soon, the clean line got to my heart and to my diaphragm, and then my liver.  It was still cleaning, but now I could feel it kind of working harder.  Not quite grinding but something like that and the stream of waste was a bit harder to manage to get it out.  Not uncomfortable, not overwhelming because the Bravo Yogurt had cleaned me out so well.

Here is when I realized it was like driving a manual transmission.  I no longer could drive in first gear.  I had to take a little less power, so I reduced the drops to 5 and kept my 3 day pace.  This gave me more energy to use in my life and limited the resources I had to spend to move old viruses and toxins in the liver.  I went to sleep dreaming about having a majorly clean body.  I was delighted because I could function.

The next phase was much like going from 2nd to 3rd gear and eventually to 4th gear.  This was more like balancing the amount of energy I had in my day and how much I could give to the ongoing imuno process.  I had to have resources to move the stuff out, keep it nice and clean and then continue to move out the waste from the areas it was released into.  As long as I didn’t get too much going that I had to “wait for the train”, I was fine!

Although it seems counter intuitive, I had to take less and less as I went on.  I just didn’t need it because I needed my energy to move the toxins out.  It was working, I just can’t push it.  That’s the wrong thing to do.  A gentle stream or torrential flood over the banks?  I take the happy and gentle cause that’s what I want in my life.  Mind you, as the balloon got bigger, the size of it’sexpansion increased.  Atthe beginning, an increase yeildedmuch less than it does 6 weeks into this.  Much more toxic release was created, and I wanted to keep on 3 days.  My drops lowered and lowered!  My body got more and more dazzling.

There are times when my shiny new friend was grinding through the removal of denser material.  I am not going to stop that action!!!  It is the best thing that has ever happened to me because I don’t have to support this.  The microbiome and the imuno in the inate immune system are supporting it and the use of those together makes sure that everything is good.  I just needed to know how to pay attention to how much I need.

PS.  taking breaks wasn’t as fun as I thought.  It’s like being a really good athlete, you don’t really want to stop stretching out and working the body.  You can slow down but not stop.  So I just kept taking less and less.  When I get to a minimal dose, I went to the suppositories, then back to the nebulizer, then to the salve, then back.

I am really happy.  My life got so much easier to manage.  I had to keep checking to make sure everything was alright.  I might have taken more naps, but everything was getting better and better while things got easier and easier.

4 Ways to Take Bravo!

4 Ways to Take Bravo!

When you are considering how to best use Bravo GcMAF products, one must look at where you need it the most! Finding the area in your body that is in the most distress can also be the area that can be most benefited. However, I can easily build a case for all of these methods!

So much Bravo, so little time!

See your health practitioner and use your common sense. Don’t over-take Bravo because you will need to remove the toxins it cleans. We highly recommend using Bravo Protocol with all of the methods below and not to use more Bravo than is comfortable over the long term.

Sure, you can have 8 cleaning crews in your home working day and night but it would exhaust you! Sure, you can stand at the pitching machine, responding to the pitches with your helmet and bat but would 5 pitching machines pointed at you be as much fun as one? Limit your use of Bravo to the amount that is fun, easy to manage and don’t worry; it will all get done! Like exercise, yoga or music lessons, you will grow better at taking more Bravo bit by bit.

The 4 Methods of Taking Bravo

1 Yogurt 

– Slowly sipping, swishing and swallowing the yogurt assists mostly the upper part of the body! The brain, nerves, throat, thyroid, heart, lungs, esophagus, and the walls of the stomach all receive the most.

Over time, the beneficial bacteria permeates to the connective tissue, muscles, and nerves giving us comfort and the feeling that everything is contained and manageable.

Our immune system, supported by a ketogenic diet, slowly clears out the potential heat/inflammation and residual infections which may fester. The beneficial bacteria move in to cool and insulate the nerves, making our thought process clearer, deeper, and more focused. I am not a doctor! This is just what I experience while taking Bravo. Experience it for yourself over time.

I personally experienced the effect in my intestines while taking yogurt, so I know the yogurt reaches there too. I also experienced my thought processes going from being able to handle one thing at a time to two, three and even four parts of the same analysis at once! It reminded me of being in college. (and that I wasn’t doing it anymore!) I personally gained lots of mental function from taking Bravo!

2 Capsules 

– The enteric coated Bravo Concentrate Caps speed past the stomach acid for delivery to the area of the pancreas, small intestine, liver, tubes of the digestive system, the stomach and even the spleen and kidneys getting it coated, cleaned, and brightened more quickly than yogurt alone.

The Bravo Concentrate holds the complete action and nutrition pattern of Bravo GcMAF yogurt in capsule form and is made from prepared Bravo GcMAF Yogurt which is dried at a low temperature and it is not from starter powders mixed together. It can stay stable without refrigeration making it great for travel.

For me, I feel brighter! It is like the lights “turned on” in that area and I had no idea how much my pancreas needed attention and how quickly it cleared up after years of not tolerating any sugars!

3 Suppositories – 

Taking a suppository brings Bravo GcMAF action to the colon, bladder and reproductive system which can harbor low-grade infection. Bravo Coop offers different strengths in the suppositories to help you find the right daily level for you.

For me, the suppositories seemed to transform this area into a lighter and more breathable feeling. Also, I felt the whole colon, duodenum, stomach, esophagus, and soft palette feel more connected and awake. I even experienced an increase in being able to taste my food!

I went from not liking the idea of suppository use, to not wanting to miss this wonderful experience!

4 Topically on the Skin – 

Have you tried this yet? Take a small amount (1/2 tsp) of Bravo Yogurt and apply a thin layer to the skin of your face and neck and let it dry. Soon your skin will feel like a baby’s skin! It feels hydrated, full, strong and happy. I experienced fewer wrinkles and that it was easy to do!

The skin is the primary defense of the body. It defends against bad microbes among other things. The skin is also the brain of the body, according to Bruce Lipton, a Stanford cell biologist, in The Biology of Belief. Immune support in this area allows us to stay in touch with reality and defend ourselves effectively.

I have always “fed” my skin naturally, with aloe vera, fresh seed oils, and coconut oil. Now that I have Bravo to use as a natural emollient lotion, I get so disappointed when I forget this step! It is such a benefit!

How to mix applications of Bravo – With all 4 types of applications, the dosage approach stays the same.

– Begin slowly with a very small amount (approximately 1/4 tsp) x 2 times per day for 1 week and then build up each week a bit more, as in 1 tsp, 1 TBS, 2 TBS. – 2 x per day. etc. Dr. Ruggiero suggests not taking more than 1/2 cup per day, however, I take far less. If you are mixing applications, you still stay under this guideline. Perhaps one dose is one application and another dose is another, or you start in your area of concern and branch out to other applications when you are taking more.

– After the first month, follow your doctor’s advice or if alone, use your body’s lead but you want your body to feel great.

– If you are taking too much, you may feel overwhelmed, too much to respond to or too busy.

– If you take too little or are not eating well enough, you may not feel anything. You may not feel any benefit, energy, or “brightening”. If this is happening, clean up the diet, take vitamin D, hold to your startup for 1 month, then you may consider taking tiny increments until you feel great and then hold at that level.

– When planning to mix different Bravo applications, common sense prevails. If you are currently taking “x” x 2, for example, stay within your daily dosage even if you are applying it several different ways. Any combination as long as it doesn’t exceed the daily amount.

– The start-up amounts for both capsules and suppositories are for sale in “start-up kits”. This makes it easy to increase over the first month of use for either application.

– When using capsules or suppositories, look on the Bravo Coop site for products in the application you wish to use that are similar to the level you are currently taking.

Enjoy!

Q&A

Q:  What is the equivalent dosage of the capsules?

A: The capsules have dosages that equal the yogurt’s for example . . .   1 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon, 2 tablespoons, etc.   What ever dose you take in yogurt, you can take it as a capsule instead.  if you are comfortable taking 2 TBS of yogurt, twice per day, you can take two tablespoons of yogurt, capsules or suppositories as a mix and match twice per day.  Just don’t take more than you are comfortable with.  If you can’t feel it – don’t push it!  More is not better. For example, if you are taking 2 TBS of yogurt you would want to stay at 2 TBS per dose but it won’t matter if it is yogurt, or caps.  You might take a  2 TBS capsule  and 2 tbs suppository  mix and match.

You can even get fancier and split it.  If you take 2 TBS per dose,  twice per day.  You might take split doses with different items.  such as 1 TBS yogurt and 1 TBS capsule in one dose and the same at the other dose.  Or mix it up.  a 1 TBS suppository and a 1 TBS capsule at same dose.    You are still taking 2 TBS at each dose.

Q: Would be o.k. to start with a quarter teaspoon of yogurt PLUS one capsule twice a day or whether that would be too much?

A: That would be too much.  The first month is about building up slowly.  Why?  Because the yogurt grabs onto the tissue and shimmers it and the tissue detoxifies.  Your body needs to move that toxin out.  The more you take, the more territory will be renovated.   How many cleaning crews are you comfortable with? More is not better.  Be comfortable and have easy access to happy good living.  Feel great while getting better.  If you have to work too hard, you might get discouraged and there is no reason for that.

Q: Since the capsule gets down further, and I’m trying to address my colon, maybe this would be o.k?

A  if you are trying to address the colon, why not take suppositories?  Just be careful to regulate the dosage.

Q: Do the capsules also have the GCMAF and are they the same potency as the yogurt?

A:  Neither the yogurt or the caps technically have GcMAF.

All of the above methods have the essential ingredients to create a live microbiome who then produces the GcMAF.

It is that essential microbiome that we are building and the doctor’s formula of ratios that we are protecting.

To me, it seems like we need to continue to feed and replenish it.  If I stop taking it, it slowly fades based on my diet.

I observe mostly when I travel or run out for a few days.  Our bodies are big!  It takes a lot of product to fill all the places and get between the nerves and connective tissue, etc.  I find that the yogurt is always working.  No worries about that.  Just don’t let it die like house plants and pets by not feeding it and providing what it needs.  I consider replenishing it when I take more because it has the food in it, (colostrum) and the housing (probiotics) and the cute little beneficials.

Again, my experience is that the Yogurt has it all and is readily available. It will go in and start homesteading right away.  The capsules have to rehydrate and come alive which it does but it takes a while.

I experience the capsules as a “brightening” through my solar plexis area .  (Pancreas, gall bladder, small intestines, bottom of the duodenum and diaphragm.   I experience how happy my body is to have this interaction and the fade when I don’t take the capsules.  I started the yogurt a year and a half before the capsules came out so if my gut was going to fill up, it would have already.  Taking the capsules was like turning on a new room in my body which had not seen Bravo before.

I hope this helps.  It’s an amazing feeling to be brightened!!!  I won’t stop taking the yogurt.  I also take somNon-dairy bravo at times.   I am experimenting now to measure if it reduces inflammation.

In terms of potency, the caps can have different potencies.  We don’t want to overwhelm a new area and it seems that each place I use it, it starts a new colony so the rules apply but only in terms of how it detoxifies.

Q: I’m not sure what to order.  I’ve only ever taken 2 tablespoons (one capsule before bed every night).  Do you think I’d herx too hard if I took 4?  Not sure if I should try upping the dose, or just stick to what I’m used to.  Any advice would be helpful.

A: Short answer: Your body likes 2 TBS.  I would stay with that.  You are happy with what you are doing.

Long answer: If your body wants to and you have a good sense of that from listening to your inner needs, you can take 4 TBS sometimes simply by taking 2 capsules at that time.  I found that when my immune system “opened” and filled up my body like a space of connective tissue, it did need more.  It was a short lived demand. This is an advanced immune move that took many months to get to but a good diet, lots of greens and protein, low to no carbs and lots of breath and exercise will really help to keep your body clean.  By opening up, your immune system can open up biofilms and take out the complete colony of unwanted microbes.   Then the tissue “re-orders” that area back to healthy divine tissue.  That’s when the good guys need to move it.  The Microbiome moves in.  I think it has a big “S” on its chest.

How do you want to keep your Bravo Yogurt culture warm?

There aren’t detailed instructions here.  Just some help with understanding the culturing.

Hi, I am Mimi.  I make at least 2-5 gallons of yogurt for sale to customers every week since the beginning of 2016 when I started to sell it.  I have been through everything I can think of in terms of making it.  I also end up using marginal products that don’t come out right.  I, therefore, have grown attentive to doing it right and have a healthy respect for what is likely to fail.

Everyone gets a bit excited to bring home Bravo Yogurt.  Some are big culturing people. others have never considered a double boiler or tasting something to see if it is done.  Yet we all need to make Bravo Yogurt.  There are as many ways to make it as there are people.

Usually, I can go over the basics with people and they understand but consistently, we need to talk about what will work to culture the yogurt.  I have settled on the best recipe for culturing through trial and error with thousands of people.  It is 93 degrees for 12 hours.  Within that is a range.  88 for more hours will work, etc.  I just don’t know what that hourly amount will be.  It must be tasted to determine.  Does it get cooler at night?  how much cooler?  on and on.

I have come up with a solid way to make the yogurt and I have come up with the description of a “taste method” to help out knowing when the culture is done when we are off roading.  Warning: don’t just pick a recipe from the internet from Bravo Yogurt.  There are some out there which are for older recipes that don’t really relate.  Try to stay current.  Have a question?  Ask me.  mimi @ bravocoop dot com.

The first part of making Bravo is the milk.  Raw, fresh and whole.  As close as it comes to the real thing.  Then we will heat it to 160 to 185 to home pasteurize it and to remove the casein which is the stress hormone complex residing inside the milk.  If the milk is pasteurized, it will still need to be heated and the skin that comes to the surface must be removed.  Don’t eat this.  It’s really all the noise from the barnyard. Once it is removed, the milk is a clean canvas and ready for the powders.

Keeping it warm is where people need to use what they have.  For example, you may not have all of these, but choose the one that works for you!!

Once you find the method you want to use, it’s important to calibrate as needed.  To calibrate, test a bowl of water with a thermometer.  If it is near 93˚ you are okay to try the good stuff.  Otherwise, water in your container and put it in your warming environment. modify as needed.  It may need to be re-adjusted with the seasons.

  1. Gas ovens have a pilot light –
    1. Modification – closer or nearer to find right temp
  2. Proofing function – an option on some electric ovens
    1. Check the temp & timing for your brand
  3. Oven light bulb (only- no heat used)  –
    1. Modification – closer or nearer to find the right temp
    2. Use a post-it “Keep the light on!  Bravo!”  That’s how I got our tag line.
  4. Instant pot  – It must have a Yogurt button
    1. Test the temperatures with thermomenter
    2. If it doesn’t have an adjust button, use the yogurt button again
  5. Yogurt machine –  – see www.bravocoop.com FAQs How to Make
    1. These are factory set at 110˚ but you can use them if you lift the vessel off of the bottom (direct heat) using something 1″-2″ high to create ambiant heat.  Rack?
  6. Reptile mat from pet store
    1. Modification – closer or nearer to find the right temp or use a towel to wrap.
    2. Setting directly on this is how it is built.  Usually it is radiant heat at the right temp
    3. Not very expensive and easy to store.
  7. 40 oz Thermos King
    1. Heat your milk or your water test to 93 degrees and put the lid on – measure in 12 hours.
    2. Inexpensive, diverse uses, no electricity needed. unbreakable
    3. The downside, it has to be covered with a lid and may benefit more oxygen.

Failed projects

  • Don’t use boiling hot water suspended inside a cooler due to bacterial growth.  Use dry heat!
  • On the counter for 2-3 days, the milk could go bad before it begins to culture.  unnecessary failure has been observed
  • Dehydrator ( I have trouble with the noise)

Advanced projects

  1. Drift after “culture” is established
    1. Culture the yogurt for 12 hours at 93˚ to establish the culture
      1. You can use a Christmas tree light  timer at the plug to turn it off at 12 hours.
    2. Let the temperature drift to room temp for up to 5 hours.
      1. Since all the organisms have different culture rates, this makes them happy.
      2. It also lets you sleep or get home from work, etc.
    3. Make it easy for yourself  – at 7 pm (dinner) and collect it at 7 am (breakfast)
    4. Use an internal timer like the Instant Pot or an Iris Osama yogurt machine

What will Bravo do for us?

Q What does Bravo do for us and why would we want to use Bravo Yogurt?

 

MimiHeadshot-1519565417.jpg

Written by Mimi Castellanos

Bravo yogurt is made from very high-end probiotics: some call them “royal strains”.  They are arranged into a formula with yeasts and kefir and other more active ingredients that are catalysts that make it work.  Dr. Ruggiero made 324 experiments until the product ratio performed the desired results.

What happens is that viruses don’t leave when our cold or flu is over.  Sometimes we rush off too soon without a complete recovery and the viruses remain in small colonies.  These colonies slowly grow in the background and flare up when given the right environment or a big load of sugar.  (Thus our flu season is right after Christmas)

Our opponent, the virus and other bad microbes,  are small but they are very clever about their survival and existence.  They hide themselves and their nests in biofilms which are like glue.  They glue everything until they discover what works for them.  They discovered that gluing the whole Vitamin D channel is particularly helpful to them.  (Not so much for us!!)  When they glue down door 420, the immune system doesn’t come on and get after them!

Within the vitamin D channel, behind door 420 is a protein that when released, turns on the immune system!  It is called GcMAF.  When this door being glued the immune system does not turn on when we call for it.  Thus the virus and biofilm intentionally stop us from helping ourselves to be well, clean and safe. 

With microbes living inside, our consciousness may feel invaded and we may feel that you are loosing an “unknown” battle. Our consciousness is not wrong but it is often hard to understand that it really is happening somewhere.  Like in dreams, we try to assign a possible reason for this feeling.  This is like a sum total of impulse communication from many cells who are then at that moment calling out while they are at the mercy of the invading microbes.  You may come to the wrong conclusion and the war will continue unchecked if we aren’t very attentive and investigative.

Decoding these messages from the cells and responding to them is pretty easy!! Just don’t ignore it.  Do anything to help the cells and that will get you moving in the right direction!  Eventually, they will have the strength to show you their issue. Drink water, jump around.  Look at them.  Look at what you are eating.  Exercise. Release your darkness.  Do things.  Learn things.  Don’t stop until you make those cells feel better.   You need to get the disease out and you are the one who can tell where it is.  Your body can’t do it without YOU.  Gratitude will follow. 

I talk to a lot of people.  They all use the same products.  Some get well, others don’t get it.  I also use the products.  But sometimes, they don’t work as well as other times.  It isn’t my diet that makes the difference.  If I am really busy doing something else, I may slip into a state of compromised health.  When we get too busy, we get sick. I realized   I also realized that I am using my full power somewhere else and the sheer energy use will cut power from all other systems, including digestion, respiration, and the immune system.  Take care to rest, keep inside your limits and stay involved with your health.  Don’t stop this when you are well.  You will keep improving!

Bravo yogurt creates a microbiome which is easily damaged by antibiotics, prescriptions, acidic food, or stress. We need the microbiome.  It makes functional molecules for our metabolism and processing.  It helps us be connected to the world around us and so much more.  It’s like a good, protective, and nurturing parent for our body.

There isn’t any GcMAF in the jar you are taking, but it does show up when it gets to joining with the mucosa in the gut and making a microbiome.  There actually is supposed to be more beneficial microbes than anything else in our body.  These microbes come in with good quality food like the veggies with white powder on it.  That’s the probiotics.  Originally. it is built from breastfeeding where much of the immunity comes in installments and matures with the baby.  Without a microbiome, the body is defenseless.  Antibiotics can single-handedly clean out a microbiome in just 5 days!  It takes months and months of targeted probiotic therapy to restore the body’s microbiome.

The effects of not having a microbiome from taking antibiotics are important. It will leave a change in the overall feel of your body.  Antibiotics will leave you feeling empty and powerless.   After all, you lost your partner.  The way you can tell is the same way you feel yourself to know you are sick or well.  If you have a sickness, you can feel it.  Flu will leave you feeling wonky and distorted but without rest, TLC and chicken soup, you may get better but you may not notice that 10%  wonky feeling that’s left over and still growing inside.  When you take Bravo, the leftover virus (called the viral load) leaves.  This makes you much less able to get sick from colds because you don’t have a viral layer growing inside.  Removing the virus also removes the 10% wonky feeling.  If you give Bravo the time to remove all the viruses, you just feel better and better!

For me, after the viruses were gone, it began insulating my nerves and connective tissue.  It might be a lesser function for the priority of the body, but for me, I could think better and more clearly.  I could analyze a problem from 4 different directions at once again.  Then I realized, oh my, I am down to 1 angle of analysis.  Oh my, the greater realization is that I didn’t even notice my abilities were less.  UNTIL BRAVO BROUGHT THEM BACK. Again, if I had quit before the body was done, I would not have had those wonderful results!

Eat yogurt and take probiotics can’t do this by itself.  Dr. Ruggiero did 325 experiments to get Bravo Yogurt to create a microbiome that specifically makes GcMAF.  The microbiome sets up in the mucosa and starts to turn on the immune system in one area at a time.  This is another reason to go slowly.  (How many pitching machines do you want to respond to at once?).  Due to the fact that the immune system is something that is in the whole body and it is turned on and recovered a bit at a time, you will feel more and more alive as it moves through these systems.  Once it does, it actually mounts more complex issues like a connection to the global microbiome.  Stay with it.  It’s awesome.

Bravo Yogurt goes into our upper bodies down to the stomach acid.  That would be our mouths, head, esophagus, diaphragm, hearts, lungs and spines.  That’s a lot to cover!  Enteric coated capsules work far beyond the stomach and land in the solar plexus region.   Suppositories also help the lower colon, bladder, and reproduction.  The pelvis feels the echos of viruses 6 generations back and is quite uplifted by the Bravo suppositories!!!  I was a hard sell on using suppositories.  Unconsciously, I didn’t want to disturb that area. Now I realize how thick the body is at the hips and pelvis and how hard it is for the body to regulate immunity there.  I became really happy when I started using suppositories. Taking yogurt doesn’t do it.

Bravo also goes into the muscles and travels through them as it grows our colonies.  It can really help long term colonies that weaken muscles over time.  Rotator cuff melts when heat and rage are present.  E coli causes stomach ulcers similarly.  The immune system just needs some TLC, and long term dedication from you to do its job.  Don’t be a creative type that flits away.  You will feel abandoned and deeply uncared for.  That feeling of being cared for comes from YOU CARING FOR YOURSELF.

Bravo comes through.  It eventually has time to clean out all the systems including the Vitamin D channel and gets your immune system back on naturally.  Keep taking Bravo because there are always areas of toxins that need to be removed.  We don’t live in a vacuum.  Our house gets dirty, the grass in the lawn grows and weeds are inevitable.  Good quality growth is reasonable and must be monitored.

Q:  What do we have to do alongside taking Bravo?
A:  Dr. Ruggiero calls for a blood cleaner called Rubia cordifolia, aka,  Bravo Protocol which we made available for you.  Along with that, green leafy vegetables, vitamins & minerals, Vit D2&K2, and I like DHA with it too.  And lots of water so your body can transport things.   The body’s immune system loves plants and proteins.  Not so much the carbs which burn hot and dirty.  The doctor recommends a ketogenic diet which is much like paleo. 

 

Q: Is is important that we don’t eat a lot of yogurt or fermented things that could change this formula?

A: Yes.  It is possible to “flood” the formula with strains that change the ratio of the product’s formula.  You could bend it far enough that it won’t make GcMAF!  If you are used to something, take them at different times of the day and limit the amount if you do the “flood” method.

Q: There are people on the media that are publishing formulas to make GcMAF.  Do they work?
A:  I looked at this in 2015 (when I first looked at the product) because I always try to do a better job for less money. I personally couldn’t do that with this product, because it has not only a proprietary formula which is extensive but each ingredient is expensive and would have to be purchased by themselves.  Further, the doctor definitely had his intention of loving and healing locked into the product.  I found that the pricing was actually reasonable and much more direct than trying to fudge it.   I found myself just wanting to stand beside him and support him!!  In my heart that was the best option.   I decided, I never wanted to be without a microbiome and this is clearly the best way to do it and my machinations were unnecessary and uneventful.  The product has intention, strength, and power that imitations would never have.

Q What does this microbiome actually do?

A. The microbiome grows into the tissue and fills it with what it needs.  It brings oils, insulation, food, cleaning power, better and smoother communication, focus and makes things warm and friendly.  These are things that can’t be made by the body alone.  As it grows into an area, it brings with it what the body needs like synthesizing supplies into new tools for the immune system in each individual area it moves into.

Q:  Did the inventor Dr. Marco Ruggiero have inspiration when inventing the formula?
A:  Yes.  There was a study in Tunisia where they had people with HIV positive blood tests.  They gave them a specifically built yogurt and they got better.  (Better as in blood test with no presence of HIV positive.)  This was an area in Tunisia where food was difficult to find and yogurt was difficult to produce so they did a second experiment as the starting powder.  It didn’t work.  (The process does involve some interaction with lactoferrin.)  The capsules we sell and make are literally yogurt which is dried and put in an enteric capsule, not the starting powder. It takes a day to reconstitute in our bodies and then feels all glowing and bright.

Q: How did you know the microbiome and immune system were killing viruses?

A: For about 6 months (after being on it about as long) I felt flush like 10% of a flu every time I sat down.  I didn’t feel it all the time, or in the same place and not when I was busy.  This gave me another big clue.  The immune system needs time when I am resting to work.  When I am too busy, it waits, waits, and waits.  This isn’t how it works.  I go back to the baby breastfeeding and napping.  The perfect combination!

What’s under the hood?  Dairy Bravo Yogurt – Ingredients

Dairy Bravo Yogurt – Ingredient Panel

Ingredient panel on the product but a look under the microscope shows at least 40 strains.

There are three packets of powder in each set which we call a 1 pack.  It makes 4 cups/1 quart/1 liter of product.

The first month is started very slowly to condition the detox pathways.  We use small amounts, therefore, only 2 cups are needed per person.  To make 2 cups, follow the same recipe but split the milk and powders in half and put the unused powder in a ziplock in the fridge for next time.  You can freeze the right amount the milk to defrost when needed.

This is the current packaging.  There are older packaging concepts and recipes on the web which may not apply.

Prior to May 2019 there are reports of 40 different strains in the product.  This claim is not  backed up anywhere, but it is published.  Now it’s clear!! We got a bigger microscope!!

May 2019 –  There are more than 300 organisms!  Profound words by Dr. Marco Ruggiero sent to Bravo Coop as an exclusive.

In the process of carrying advanced research on our products, we conducted an extremely detailed analysis of the microbial composition of Bravo using a novel tool that exploits the most advanced concepts of molecular genetics.  We used the Axiom Microbiome array that is a chip covered in short DNA sequences that are specific to certain target organisms (a total of approximately 12,000 species are included). In short, this assay can detect up to 12,000 different microbes with extremely high specificity and sensitivity.

After having performed the current genetic analysis, we found out that there are not only approximately 40 strains, as we had been repeating for all these years. There are more than 300 (three hundred) different microbes, the highest number ever recorded in a probiotic.  (The discrepancy, in our favor, derives from the fact that under a microscope, as we had to do in the past, we could not distinguish the sub-strains, the plasmids and the phages (see later) that only the current genetic analysis can differentiate between these.)

Just to give you an example, imagine that you want to catalog the animals in a zoo. A superficial analysis (analogous to what we did with a microscope on Bravo) will tell you that there are monkeys, dogs, horses and so on. But a detailed analysis (analogous to what we did with the Axiom Microbiome array) will tell you that among monkeys you have gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and many other types of monkeys; among dogs, Chihuahuas, Great Danes, German shepherds and many others; among horses, Arabian pure-breeds, Mustangs, ponies, English heavy horses etc. At this point, you will be able to say that in such a zoo there is a great variety of animals; that zoo is much richer than a zoo that only has gorillas among monkeys, Chihuahuas among dogs (even though usually there are no dogs in zoos, but this is fictional), Mustangs among horses.

The Axiom Microbiome array was performed by the most reputable company in the field, Eurofins, and we believe it has legal value as far as claims are concerned since this type of analysis is also used to rule out the presence of pathogens. In other words, if we claim that Bravo is unique because it has more than 300 different microbes, and someone asks for proof, we can back this claim with the Eurofins’s analysis.

I am sure you realize that these results put Bravo in a completely different league, or better, in no league at all since no other probiotic can honestly make such a claim.

This is because Bravo, at variance with all other probiotics in the market, was designed since its inception as a means to reproduce the complexity of the healthy human microbiota.

However, it is not the sheer number of different microbes (more than 300) that is utterly impressive, but rather the biodiversity that makes Bravo even more unique. The genetic analysis revealed that Bravo, in addition to probiotic microbes, contains a great number of plasmids and phages.

Plasmids are self-replicating small DNA molecules that carry genes that benefit the survival of the organism and can be transferred to other living beings. Bravo not only contains a very high number of live probiotic microbes; thanks to the presence of plasmids, the probiotic microbes in Bravo are also able to communicate with each other and with the cells of the human body with mutual reciprocal benefits.

Thanks to the presence of plasmids, we can say that Bravo not only contains an incredibly high number of live probiotic microbes but also that these microbes are able to talk to each other and to our human cells. No other probiotic can make this claim.

However, even more, interesting could be, for its ramifications, the presence of phages.

Phages are the microbes that colonize the microbes; they can also be defined as “the microbiota of the microbiota”. The study of phages and how they relate to human health represents one of the frontiers of molecular medicine.

Phages are the most abundant organisms in the biosphere and have been of interest to scientists as tools to understand fundamental molecular biology, as vectors of horizontal gene transfer and drivers of evolution, as sources of diagnostic and genetic tools and as novel therapeutic agents.

Phages impact immunity directly, in ways that are typically anti-inflammatory. Phages modulate innate immunity via phagocytosis and cytokine responses but also impact adaptive immunity via effects on antibody production and effector polarization. Phages may thereby have profound effects on the fighting of bacterial infections or cancer growth by modulating the immune response.

Thanks to the presence of phages, we can now explain all the almost incredible clinical results that you and we have seen with Bravo.

In Bravo, probiotic microbes live together with plasmids and phages in a complex network of communication, a symbiosis that is reminiscent of the origin of life on Earth.

As you may know, we live in a microbial driven world that only exists because bacteria and Archaea tempered the previously hostile environment on early Earth to create atmospheric conditions that allow eukaryotic life forms such as humans to flourish; it has now become evident that phages were, and still are, responsible for wellbeing of microbes, which themselves impact environments at large.

In other words, if it were not for the phages – the microbes of the microbes – life would not exist, and this is why they are so important for our well being and the well being of the environment.

I hope that these notes of mine are helpful for your efforts to further highlight the unique properties of Bravo. Dr. Pacini and I are very grateful for your continuing support and we hope that having demonstrable proof of the uniqueness of Bravo, will further strengthen the success of the product.

Bravo Yogurt

Each 1 liter packet uses 4 cups of milk with 3 packets of powder. 

  • Starter (silver packet)
  • Powder (small white packet)
  • Colostrum (large white packet)

Bravo Packets can be purchased as

  • 1 pack     (1 set)
  • 3 packs   (3 sets)
  • 13 packs (13 sets)

 At www.bravocoop.com

The powders are very stable and can be shipped without any refrigeration, however, the life of the powders will be extended by refrigeration. If you need less yogurt, you can split the powders in half and make 2 cups at a time.

To make yogurt you will also need:

  1. Large pot for heating milk
  2. Large glass bowl
  3. Thermometer
  4. Medium size strainer
  5. Metal cooking spoon (not wood)
  6. Cover for bowl
  7. 1 quart of milk

The thickness & texture of the final product can vary depending on the source of the milk.  It is best to use an organic, whole, non-homogenized cow’s milk or raw milk if possible. Use the best you can find.  If you have dairy allergies you can use the dairy yogurt on your skin for all the same benefits.  

Do not use “Ultra Pasteurized” (UHT) milk, since the high temperature breaks the milk proteins.  Do not use milk with added  preservatives, hormones, or other chemical substances.  Do not use fruit, rice, soy, almond, or coconut beverages. Bravo Yogurt Kits do NOT contain, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sugar, gluten, soy, egg, rice, starch, hormones, or antibiotics.

The integrity of the Bravo is supported by dark green leafy veggies, ketogenic diet & food based minerals.  Antibiotics will diminish Bravo’s microbiome.  The use of kefir, other yogurt, yeasts should be taken at a different time of the day.

Habka dhaqanka

Qof kastaa wuxu helaa habka ugu habboon ee loo sameeyo jawi diiran si uu u dhaqmo caanaha. Waxaan u isticmaalnaa 93 darajo 12 saacadood. Markaad aragto habka aad si fudud ugu noqon karto. Tijaabi fursadahaaga marka hore marka aad ku jirto baaquli biyo ah iyo heerkulbeeg.

Fursadaha suurtogalka ah waa:

Foorno leh JUST nalalka iftiinka ah. Isku hagaaji si aad u hagaajiso heerkulka.

Mashiinka jiirka – hoos ayaa aad u kulul. Isticmaal xayirad xadhig ah ama duub cajalad leh si aad uga ilaaliso saxanka kuleylka tooska ah. Ciriiri caano fadhi oo leh hawo nadiif ah.

Iris Ohyama yogurt samee ayaa dejiya wakhti iyo wakhti. Si sahlan loo isticmaalo iyo wax isbeddel ah marka laga reebo qalabka wax lagu dhejiyo.

Culturing Method

Everyone finds their own method of making a warm environment to culture the milk.  We use 93 degrees for 12 hours. Once you find your method it will be easily repeatable. Test your options first with a bowl of water and a thermometer.         

Possible options are:

  1. An oven with JUST the light bulb on.  Adjust distance to adjust temperature.
  2. Yogurt machine – the bottom is too hot.  Use a wire rack or a roll of tape to keep the bowl off of the direct heat.   Warm the yogurt with ambient air.
  3. Most instant pots have a yogurt button.  Use the yogurt “lesser” adjustment for the heat setting and set the time for 12 hours. Put the bowl inside on a wire rack.
  4. Iris Ohyama yogurt maker sets temp and time.  Easy to use and no adjustments except for a voltage adapter.

Waqtiga iyo Heerkulka

Heerkulka wuxuu go’aamiyaa waqtiga loo isticmaalo dhaqanka. Nidaamka dabka, hubinta dabka waa inuu isticmaalaa 93 darajo 12 saacadood. Tilmaamo badan oo internetka ah ayaa laga helaa habab kala duwan & waqtiyo kala duwan. Wareegyada qaboojiyaha leh wakhti dheer ayaa khatarta ugu weyn ee caanaha ka dhigaya xumaan iyo guuldarada isku dhafan.

Time and Temperature

The temperature determines the time used for culturing.  A solid, sure fire approach is to use 93 degrees for 12 hours. Many old instructions on the internet are from different formulas & from different times. Cooler temps with longer times have greater risk of the milk going bad and batch failure.

Goorma ayay tahay?

Isticmaal habka dhadhanka si aad u tijaabiso qalab. Caanaha iyo budada waxay u dhaqmi doonaan dhadhan adag. Marka isku dar ah waa 100% silican oo aan lahayn wax caano ah oo caano ah, waa la sameeyaa. Haddii dhadhankiisu uu leeyahay tang, waa la dhammeeyaa. Taasi ma saameyn doonto qaaciddada laakiin isku day inaadna joogtid 100 boqolkiiba silky.

Caanaha riyaha ayaa leh maaddooyinka dufanka yar yar waxayna u egtahay in ay had iyo jeer noqoto sharoobada, taas oo ah mid caadi ah mana saameyneyso qaaciddada. Markaad isticmaasho caano caansaan ah, waxaa jiri doona kareem dabiici ah oo aan wax saameyn ah lahayn.

Marka badeecadu ay gaarto dardargelinta la rabo, jooji ilaha kuleylka iyadoo la isticmaalayo timo gudaha ama dibadda ah. Heerkulku wuxuu u socon karaa dabaasha qolka dhowr saacadood haddii aad huruddo ama meel ka baxdo. Ka dibna dhaqanka ku rid qaboojiyaha ugu yaraan 2 saacadood ka hor isticmaalka.

Doneness

Use the taste method to test doneness. Milk and powder will culture into a silky taste.  When the mixture is 100% silky with no raw milk taste, it is done.  If the taste has a tang, it is over done. That will not affect the formula but try and stay with the 100% silky. 

Goat milk has smaller fat molecules and tends to always be syrupy, which is normal and doesn’t affect the formula. When using raw milk, there will be naturally occurring cream which  doesn’t affect the formula.

Once the product has reached its desired doneness, stop the heat source  using internal or external timers. The temperature can drift to room temp for a few hours if you are asleep or away.  Then put the culture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before use.  

Kaydinta

Ku kaydi weel dhalada leh dabool leh. Yoogurtu waxay socon doontaa qiyaastii 2-3 usbuuc oo galaas ah. Miraayadaha Miron ee mira-dhalada iyo talaagada nadiifka ah ayaa badanaa waxay labalaabi doontaa wakhtiga casriga sababtoo ah tamarta muraayadda. Haddii aad dhadhamiso qaniinyo fiiqan, jilicku wuu lumay.

… Faahfaahin dheeraad ah ee BravoCoop.com waxay leedahay talooyin

Storage

Store in a glass jar with a lid. Yogurt will last for about 2-3 weeks in plain glass.  The violet Miron jars and a clean fridge will usually double the freshness time due to  the energy of the glass.  If you taste a sharp bite, the yogurt has spoiled.

Using Bravo Yogurt

Month One 

The first month using Bravo is about slowly coating the mucosa membranes and the detox pathways until they shimmer. Take your dose when you are sleepy, open and relaxed. Like hand lotion, more is not better because excess won’t absorb.

  • 1/4 teaspoon 2x per day for a week
  • 1 teaspoon    2x per day for a week
  • 1 tablespoon 2x per day for a week
  • 2 tablespoon 2x per day for a week

Month Two

Explore your ideal dose.  Too little, you won’t feel refreshed.  Take too much and you’ll feel too busy. Take the right dose and you will feel great.  Then be disciplined to stay with that dose and the ketogenic lifestyle.

Month Three

In the third month, you will be killing bad microbes and parasites. Don’t let them trick you into keeping them alive and falling off the upward path to health.

Study finds that fear can travel quickly through generations of mice DNA

Study finds that fear can travel quickly through generations of mice DNA The Washington Post 5/2/19, 1:35 AM. – Health & Science

By Meeri Kim December 7, 2013

A newborn mouse pup, seemingly innocent to the workings of the world, may actually harbor generations’ worth of information passed down by its ancestors.

In the experiment, researchers taught male mice to fear the smell of cherry blossoms by associating the scent with mild foot shocks. Two weeks later, they bred with females. The resulting pups were raised to adulthood having never been exposed to the smell.

Yet when the critters caught a whiff of it for the first time, they suddenly became anxious and fearful. They were even born with more cherry-blossom-detecting neurons in their noses and more brain space devoted to cherry-blossom-smelling.

The memory transmission extended out another generation when these male mice bred, and similar results were found.

Neuroscientists at Emory University found that genetic markers, thought to be wiped clean before birth, were used to transmit a single traumatic experience across generations, leaving behind traces in the behavior and anatomy of future pups.

The study, published online Sunday in the journal Nature Neuroscience, adds to a growing pile of evidence suggesting that characteristics outside of the strict genetic code may also be

acquired from our parents through epigenetic inheritance. Epigenetics studies how molecules act as DNA markers that influence how the genome is read. We pick up these epigenetic markers during our lives and in various locations on our body as we develop and interact with our environment.

Through a process dubbed “reprogramming,” these epigenetic markers were thought to be erased in the earliest stages of development in mammals. But recent research — this study included — has shown that some of these markers may survive to the next generation.

“When I was in school, this was against Darwin — it was ridiculed,” said University of Pennsylvania neuroscientist Christopher Pierce, who was not involved in the study but previously discovered an epigenetic inheritance related to cocaine. Male rats whose fathers were exposed to cocaine chose to ingest less of the drug than those rats whose fathers never took cocaine.

Study finds that fear can travel quickly through generations of mice DNA – The Washington Post 5/2/19, 1(35 AM

Pierce says he believes this is an adaptive effect — because cocaine is a toxin, the fathers passed down information to their pups that would help them survive and avoid the substance.

In the past decade, the once-controversial field of epigenetics has blossomed. But proving epigenetic inheritance can be a daunting, needle-in-a-haystack undertaking. Researchers need to measure changes in offspring behavior and neuroanatomy, as well as tease out epigenetic markers within the father’s sperm.

The DNA itself doesn’t change, but how the sequence is read can vary wildly depending on which parts are accessible. Even though all the cells in our bodies share the same DNA, these markers can silence all the irrelevant genes so that a skin cell can be a skin cell, and not a brain cell or a liver cell.

“This fine-tuning of gene expression occurs by epigenetics,” said postdoctoral researcher and study author Brian Dias of Emory’s Yerkes National Primate Research Center.

For instance, methyl molecules can bind to the sequence and block access to genes. Other proteins called histones act like spools for the 2 meters of DNA, about 6.5 feet, crammed into every tiny nucleus in our bodies. Some areas are so tightly wound up that those parts unreadable.

Dias combined his interest in animal development with neurobiologist Kerry Ressler’s focus on the mechanisms of fear learning. They taught two groups of male mice to fear odors by zapping their feet with an electric shock every time they blew scented air into their cages. The experimental group became afraid of cherry blossoms with a hint of almond, and the control group feared alcohol.

After three days of fear conditioning, the cherry blossom mice later reproduced. The resulting offspring, having grown to adulthood, had a heightened jumpiness to the cherry blossom smell, despite never having been exposed to it. They had no overreaction to alcohol.

They could also pick up on lesser amounts of cherry blossom in the air, which reflected their changes in olfactory and brain anatomy. When Dias stained only the cherry-blossom-detecting olfactory neurons blue, he saw significantly more of them coding for that smell as compared with the control mice.

The researchers also artificially inseminated females using the sperm from the original fear-conditioned mice, to attempt to get rid of any possible socially transmitted effects between the fathers and the females. The results were the same, suggesting epigenetic inheritance rather than the environment.

The findings were also verified by comparing the epigenetic markers on the DNA of sperm, specifically on the gene responsible for detecting cherry blossoms. On the sperm of the “cherry-blossom- fearing” mice, there was less of the methylation that can silence genes, possibly pointing to a mechanism of how the information got passed down.

Pierce was impressed by the thoroughness of Dias’s and Ressler’s study.

“It’s a compelling finding,” he said. “The fact that epigenetic changes happen in mammals is just amazing.”

Does this mean we as humans have also inherited generations of fears and experiences? Quite possibly, say scientists. Studies on

humans suggest that children and grandchildren may have felt the epigenetic impact of such traumatic events such as famine, the Holocaust and the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“Those are really powerful studies — unfortunately so, since the effects have been detrimental to subsequent generations,” Dias said. But because environmental factors for human subjects can’t be controlled, it is difficult to parse out the effects of epigenetics alone.

There are some who are skeptical of even mammal studies of epigenetics, and Dias believes they are rightly so since the field of epigenetics is still relatively new.

“We’re still scratching the surface,” he said.

Glyphosate interferes with the essential amino acids pathway in plants

Zach Bush:  Glyphosate has interrupted and interfered with the essential amino acids plants were providing to humans.  
 
How did it do this?  It did it thru blocking an enzyme pathway called the shikimate pathway.
 
Wikipedia:  
The shikimate pathway (shikimic acid pathway) is a seven step metabolic route used by bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, some protozoans, and plants for the biosynthesis of folates and aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan). 
 
This pathway is not found in animals and humans.  Animals and humans require these amino acids.  Hence the products of this pathway represent essential amino acids.  They must be obtained from organisms which are not animals; or, from animals whose diet includes lower organisms who do have the shikimate pathway and can make these amino acids.
 
 
Monsanto claims Roudup is safe because it interferes with an enzyme pathway only present in  bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, some protozoans, and plants .
 
So Gly kills the pathway in plants that makes teh essential amino acids humans need. 
 
He details the snowballing effects on infants of loss of healthy bacterial biome. 
 
He says if you go 100% organic, in three weeks, some chronic symptoms begin backing off.
