Re: Aloe, Boswellia, Fish Oil

[Guest guest]

Have any of you had much luck with natural supplements like Aloe, Boswellia, or fish oil? Or natural treatments like accupuncture? I would like to avoid all meds if at all possible, so I'm thinking of ways to supplement the diet naturally. Any thoughts would be appreciated!Alyssa

I take Boswellia when I feel achy or when I feel like my intestines

are inflamed (usually when I've eaten a no-no). It does help in my

case. However, some people are sensitive to the binding agents in

herbal tablets or preserving agents in herbal liquids. It's something

to be looked at carefully.

I take the Boswellia Complex from Standard Process. I'm sure there

are other high-quality bands out there.

Aloe vera is not SCD-legal because of polysaccharides, and other

junk.

Boswellia is a resin, and also contains polysaccharides. It is not

SCD-legal.

I use salmon oil, evening primrose oil, s.boulardii, and l.

acidophilus.

The thing which you must realize is that large numbers of the stuff which

is traditionally recommended for gut issues contains starch, sugar,

starchy-mucilage, and other things which appear to produce amelioration

of the symptoms, but which, in fact, feed the bad bacteria in your gut

and ultimately make matters worse.

I use acupuncture for me and my fur children. I found it quite

helpful.

my son takes 3 fish oil in the AM, 3 at night.. He also takes permability facotrs, L glutemine powder and probiotics. His integrated medicine Dr wants to take him off his Imuran in Sept.. a year after being diagnosed and not eating dairy, wheat, beef or corn. I think he is doing well from all these not the imuran to be honest.
