Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Sheila, after changing my diet to eliminate allergic foods, I noticed a difference as much as a week later. I have intestinal problems, and have been periodically detoxing and cleansing for the past few years. After I changed my diet, most of the bloating I'd had went away. I just feel better. I don't crave sugar like I had. I'm not on any meds (except Armour). I do take homeopathic treatments and some supplements. I'm very sensitive to medications. Thyroid meds are some of the few that don't affect me adversely. But I do much better treated holistically rather than through conventional medicine. Philosophically, I'm more inclined this way, too. My naturopath is not an M.D., but she is an N.D. I'm in California and the law will change here in 2004 so that naturopaths will be able to prescribe a limited number of medications. The best way to find someone to treat you is, obviously, word of mouth. But if you don't know anyone in your area, look in the phone book and the web. Interview these people either in person or the phone. Above all, listen to your instincts. You'll know who and what you connect with, and who and what you don't. Like anything, there are definitely those out there who aren't reputable, but just seeking to make a buck. I always listen to my instincts and they haven't proven me wrong yet. One thing that helped me greatly with the constipation is that several years back, I had a series of colonics. You have to be careful there, because many of those who do it, or who do anything, will convince you that you need more treatments than you do. Not all, but some do. I stopped the colonics when I knew I was ready. The thing it did for me was to stimulate the peristalsis in my intestines so that I started going on my own. I had been going once a week on Sat. So the colonics helped re-teach my intestines what they should've been doing for me naturally. After that, I periodically cleansed with an herbal fiber concoction twice a year to keep me clean and moving. Hope this helps. I'm going to keep off the computer for a few days because my carpal is acting up, but I wanted to get back to you. Hugs, Eileen Re: homeopathy How long did it take, Eileen, did it take before younoticed a difference?You still take Armour, as I recall??
