Guest guest Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Have you tried the liver and gall bladder flush that Will has posted in the Files? It has helped me along with GAPS. I had to go through it several times to notice a difference. Also, dandelion root and Yogi detox teas help support the liver. blessings, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi , A few questions, which you don't need to answer if you don't feel comfortable sharing, but may be helpful in finding an answer to your original question. Are you on the GAPS diet for a reason other than to lose weight? Do you have symptoms that make targeting your liver a priority? In my experience I've found that it's best to find out what's going on in my body specifically, rather than going with a one-size-fits-all regimen (such as a cleanse.) Sure, cleanses have their benefits and can be helpful, but if you're ignoring a different or perhaps bigger problem you will not get the desired results. In fact, you could exacerbate another problem in the process. Our bodies are one big machine and we need to keep the big picture in mind, rather than hyper-focusing on one small system within before knowing what's going on with the other systems. Have you had any bloodwork done? Do you have any deficiencies (vit D and magnesium are big ones that come to mind, but there are many possibilities) that should be addressed? Any symptoms of another organ being more highly burdened? I believe that our bodies default to healthy weights when everything is working properly and we maintain a healthy diets, which is why what works for one person (a certain diet, a certain cleanse, a certain supplement, etc.) may not work for another. Each body has different chemistry and deficiencies and overloads. If you can find what your body needs (possibly a cleanse, possibly a lifestyle change, possibly elevating certain nutrient levels, maybe a combo) the weight will likely fall off as a result. Yes, exercise can help, but I would first/concurrently get a better picture of what's going on in your body and address any issues that you find rather than waiting for more obvious symptoms to appear.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hey Alyssa - My entire family has been doing GAPS, under the leadership of my amazing wife . We've gone through the entire intro and are now in maintenance mode. We have found it incredibly beneficial. It was amazing to see how our two boys changed in their overall behavior and health. Losing weight is not the primary focus of doing GAPS. I have a history of gluten and dairy allergies (except for raw milk). My extended family have extreme intestinal issues. Last year, my brother had his colon removed from his body temporarily to allow it to heal. Both him and my father have diverticulitis. For me, GAPS has been a way to permanently modify my lifestyle to avoid the health manifestations I've seen in my extended family. Someone had previously recommended that I check out the liver cleanse that Will posted in the files section of the TFMN group. Upon close observation, it looks like it originally came from " The Cure for all Diseases " by Hulda Regehr , Ph.D., N.D. Reading through her explanation of the liver cleanse, it sounds like a beneficial thing that people should do twice a year. Cleansing the liver, removes the body of 100s-1000s of gallstones that can cause allergies in people. It seems compelling enough of a case to consider it. Has anyone does the liver cleanse in Regehr's book? ------------------------------------------- Berry thematthewberry@... ------------------------------------------- On Jun 23, 2011, at 11:04 AM, Alyssa wrote: > Hi , > A few questions, which you don't need to answer if you don't feel comfortable sharing, but may be helpful in finding an answer to your original question. > > Are you on the GAPS diet for a reason other than to lose weight? > > Do you have symptoms that make targeting your liver a priority? > > In my experience I've found that it's best to find out what's going on in my body specifically, rather than going with a one-size-fits-all regimen (such as a cleanse.)

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 GAPS is a lifestyle change based on the study of Dr. Natasha -McBride. It comes from her book Gut and Psychology Syndrome. You can check out more information on it at gapsguide.com or Dr. NCM blog at http://www.doctor-natasha.com/ blessings, > > > > Have you tried the liver and gall bladder flush that Will has posted in the > Files?
