Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 hello - replying from Australia Pfeiffer are correct - an abdominal X-Ray is very simple - standing up or lying down - takes a few moments only and will show areas where faeces is impacted - the tiny hair like structures (villi) in the small intestine become clogged with faecal matter and this prevents absoption of nutrientsinto the body - in order for the waste matter to pass into the large bowel plenty of water each day 1.5 - 2 litres if your son can manage it will help if blockages show up your biomedical doctor will know how to treat them - it's usually a long term activity to clean the transit areas completely and for the bowel to regain it's elasticity ...but the best method is water plus plus plus Pfeiffer are excellent ...in Australia we follow Pfeiffer and DAN ... all our biomedical doctors incorporate both Protocols as they dove tail quite well . Many of our parents have had the same problems you are experiencing with your son - who will be feeling very toxic with the daily overload his body is carrying without complete evacuation ...but don't be worried about the X-Ray - it's very straightforward and will not harm him No you don't need any other type of examination --our kids have these X-Rays and it's amazing the number of children who even whilst going to the toilet daily still have impactions ...and even more who have unsuspected yeast/candida probs hope this helps a bit and if you'd like any more help let me know and I will put a message out on my Biomedical Autism Group and gets some answers for you bless you all - jan brenton janbrenton@...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hi Jan, Thanks for the input. My question is that if a person has been constipated for years, it's clear, without the xray, that they are impacted. So why should he be exposed to the radiation to an area that is already fragile? People who don't move their bowels regularly are candidates for colon cancer. I don't see why he can't be treated for impaction without the xray. I don't think the xray will reveal anything that would indicate the need for one treatment over another. He already drinks at least 2 quarts of water a day, just to get down all the supplements. a H.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 An x-ray can show intestinal obstruction (from a variety of sources for a variety of reasons), scar tissue, diverticulosis, tumors, abnormnal gas collections, and various structural problems. Is there a doctor at Pfieffer who will discuss with you the range of conditions for which they hope to screen by use of the x-ray? It sounds like you are being handed an x-ray request without any discussion of reasons why it is being requested. Sorry about the multiple posts, but I'd like > > > everyone's opinion.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 , You hit the nail on the head. I really have to get back to them. They usually only give you the nurse to speak to, who is just a middle-man. I love them for their biochemical balancing, but I don't like working with them for these types of things. If someone can convince me that there is a good reason to do they xray (other than to confirm that he is impacted after 6 years of constipation), I'd be more inclined to go ahead with it.
