Right,

this is clear headed thinking; there is no "disease" just like

"reflux" was created by Pharma.. Pharmaceuticals have created another "disease". In the meantime, our cultural causes for the symptoms of IBS go unexplored. But frankly, for IBS, the right brand of acidophilus: the "pearl-looking" pills in several brands seem to work best for my daughter.

We are missing the ingredients in A. in our diets as a rule and killing them off in antibiotics, I suppose. Still, my daughter's so called IBS came from the poisons of vaccines,. and have been lifelong. Only A. in various forms has worked in a lasting way although we have tried all the socalled IBS meds.

Hyperactivity describes a symptom. True healers help address symptoms. A good

doc once told me that docs just rule out the dangerous diognoses then guess at

one left...labeling helps pharmaceutocals but not people trying to alleviate

symptoms. was tested for probs with foods and came out a bit toxic from

farm sprays and slightly allergic to broccoli so we started washing grapes more

and eating less broccoli which she loves.

I also tried a diet of no wheat but no effect there. In any case she had no

allerg to it...also she was tested for the condition which isan allergy to

breads and cassein and no positives there.

She is truly intolerant to lactase so eats none. Also takes the enzyme in case

in other foods she has an exposure...

Thanks and blessings,

I agree with you. I wish doctors would be more skeptical when

diagnosing a condition without further investigating symptoms, diet

and other testing. The best example is the diagnosis of

hyperactivity in my son, which for years the doctors wanted to

control with meds. We did Abilify for 3 yrs, and he gained 20 lbs

and developed borderline diabetes. Thankfully we discovered the

root cause for his hyperactivity last year.

Had I not discovered through lab testing that he is sensitive to

over 50 foods and highly phenolic foods, we may still be on that

path. It took a naturopath doc (ND) to tell us to try an elimination

diet, and the results are astounding. I guess for some, however, a

pill is easier than making meals from scratch and reading every

ingredient label. I work full time, and at times it is a pain but

this is the path I have chosen for his wellness.
