Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi Connie, That's what I thought i had a hole in my stomache I thought it was dripping acid all over my intestines it turned out to be H.Pylori.I was put on a double dose of antibiotics and bismuth then I had an endiscope and all was clear.I still have the burning of the intestines but my stomache is doing aot better.I just started the fungal defence last night and after I have done that 2 week course I will be on the primal defence.Why not try it, like me what have you got to loose.I also recieved a book with the order called patient heal thy self it's got some good info in it about eating as well, what to eat and what not to eat.Or just give them a call and ask them what would be suitable for you they are good at answering questions.The Fungal defence is 27 dollars.I got the big bottle of primal which was 54 dollars the girl told me to stay on it for 3 months.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi Cath, It's the 180 size bottle Cath.I asked how long it should last which was a silly question really she said depends on how many you take,lol.On the fungal defence i asked if i should take the same amount as someone twice my weight and the answer was take 3 quarters but it's safe to take full amount.Fungal defence was done for someone around 150 lbs.At the moment i am 105lbs.I am going to do the kefir smoothie and add all sorts to it to see if i can put some weight on.We had to drive a round trip of 100 miles to find the stuff . Hope this helps Ros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Dear Connie, You said: <<n the process of helping my son i have neglected myself and as a result have become very sick. I have had fungus in the past and have kicked it, but that was quite a few years ago and one sick kid in between it all. I fear that bad eating habits and all the stress may soon lead to my demise. I can't afford a nutritionist, so i hope that maybe someone can tell me what is happening. Long story short hear i know that it is a whole in the gut and fungus reeking havoc on my body. I can no longer take any vitamin C or drink carrot juice. It seems that the more time goes on the less i can take or do to help myself. Certain things bring on needle pricking quick sharp pains. When i lie down to go to sleep it seems to get worse. Luckily, i have discovered that i can rub Castor oil on my stomach and that allows me to sleep. If not for that i would be insane from lack of sleep. I'm really scared and am wondering if anyone knows if there is something that i can do to fix all of this. I can't take caprylic acid anymore either or psyllum hulls. All the things that helped me in the past i can't take. Can anyone tell me what to do? What is happening? Is it cancer? Has anyone dealt with this before or heard of anyone that has?>> ** It is not a good idea to ask for a diagnosis online. All you'll get are guesses. My guess is that you have an ulcer. For the fungus, I unreservedly recommend you look at Fungal Defense http://www.primaldefense.net/fungaldefense.htm Ulcers are very common. We've learned a great deal about them in the recent past and there's very good news about their cause and cure. The common symptom of peptic ulcers is burning and discomfort in the upper gastric area at the base of the sternum before meals, sometimes after meals, or at night. The pain can radiate to the back or the chest. This pain can sometimes be relieved by more food or an antacid. But many people don't have any symptoms at all until they have a bleeding or perforated ulcer. The most common traditional treatments for ulcers are antacids and histamine-Z (H-Z) receptor blockers. These medications may help heal the ulcer but do not alter the conditions that caused it in the first place, so the medications have to be taken over long periods-sometimes for life. Since long-term use of H-2 receptor blockers has been associated with increased risk of stomach cancer, the " cure " may be worse than the disease. Ulcers are also aggravated by irritants that damage the stomach's protective lining, or by an increase in the production of stomach acid. The key culprits are: Spicy and acidic foods. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are gastric irritants when taken regularly, as for arthritis. Smoking, which increases the production of bile salts, highly irritating to the stomach. The combination of smoking and aspirin has a particularly damaging effect on peptic ulcers. Alcohol, which stimulates acid secretion and aggravates existing ulcers. A diet high in sugar, which also stimulates acid secretion. Food allergies, which can irritate the stomach. If you have recurring ulcers with no other recognized cause you should investigate the possibility of a food allergy. While too much sugar in the diet or a simple food allergy might not be the single cause of an ulcer, they are, in my experience, conditions that encourage the development of ulcers. If you do have an ulcer that won't clear up, investigate food allergies. If you have recurring ulcers, be sure that your sugar intake is cut down; this measure has helped many of my ulcer patients. At one time ulcer people were told to drink milk and eat a bland diet. We know now this was bad advice. If you have an ulcer, don't depend on milk for relief. While a glass of milk may temporarily soothe your ulcer, it will ultimately make it worse by causing a rebound in stomach acid. (Antacids, made with calcium carbonate [Tums, Alka-2] will make you feel better temporarily, but they might have a rebound effect on the production of stomach acid.) Diets that are high in fiber have been found to be much more effective in healing ulcers and preventing their occurrence than soft diets. Gradually increase your fiber intake. Linoleic acid, found in unprocessed grains such as maize, also contributes to the healing and prevention of ulcers. It can be supplemented by taking evening primrose oil. Another natural compound used in ulcer therapy is a derivative of licorice known as deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), which stimulates the production of mucus that coats and protects the digestive tract. One study involving DGL focused on forty patients who had been referred for surgery because of acute and persistent pain, in spite of prolonged treatment with conventional drugs. Half the patients received 3 g. of DGL daily for eight weeks, the other half received 4.5 g. daily for sixteen weeks. Though the higher dosage was more effective, they all showed significant improvement, and none required surgery within the next year. DGL, can be purchased in health food stores. Supplements of vitamins A, E, and C are also helpful in the therapy and prevention of ulcers. Raw cabbage juice has a remarkable track record in helping people with peptic ulcers. One quart daily of fresh cabbage juice, taken in divided doses, can be enormously effective. In one study, patients taking this amount had total healing of their ulcers in ten days. This is my preference along with the Fungal Defense. Though stress is no longer considered the only cause of peptic ulcers, it's clear that stress, or the way we react to it, does play a role. Regular exercise is a good antidote for stress, as are breathing exercises and various relaxation techniques. Some communities have clinics for those who do not have medical insurance. In other cxommunities, the ER often serves this purpose. You would be wise to at least get a diagnosis. This does not obligate you to treat yourself any way you don't want to.
