Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I hate to say something simplistic and stupid, but I have not heard anybody mention using palin old epsom salts internally. It is a saline laxative and should give results VERY quickly.. I was once constipated for 10 days when I was rather young, and ended up with diverticulitis. I suspect this was form all the pressure going on from just those few days. Diverticulitis can be very painful. ~inga _______________ on 9/23/04 3:10 PM, annejakus2000 at JakusKA@... wrote: Our daughter used to have horrible problems with constipation.

It dosnt taste or clump up like Metamusil and you can put it in anything and never know it. It has been keeping my daughter regular for about 6 months now. delideger <delideger@...> wrote:I hate to say something simplistic and stupid, but I have not heard anybody mention using palin old epsom salts internally.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I would get a doctor visit in too. They just might give him an enema but it would be nice to know nothing is seriously wrong. I'd like to share what seems to help my system. I had tried laxatives with senna in it and found it not to work very well. It also leaves me with a constipated start after using it. What I found to be more helpful and mild is a product with rhubarb in it. No Senna! My granddaughter 9, did well with a product with rhubarb in it also. Right now the product I am using is called Cleanse Max II. It had a daytime formula that helps cleanse the blood. I don't use that anymore, I didn't feel it did anything for me. I just use the Cleanse Max once a month for a couple of days. My hormonal cycles stops me up each month. My granddaughter did not use the product I am using. Her mother got her something for children and I looked at the ingredients and noticed the rhubarb in it. It will empty you out completely but gently. Another thing that is helpful is eating red beets. Not the can stuff. I bought some and roasted them in the oven and they taste much better. It moves your bowels also. I read that it has some kind of hormone in it that triggers the bowels to move. It does for me. I never liked red beets in all my life until I tried to made it by roasting it. Tastes great just plane without adding sugar or any fixings to it. Flax seed is supposed to provide a bowel stimulating hormone too. Grind some fresh seeds up and toss it on top of breakfast or chew directly.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Geeze....I am brand new to this site, so what I am saying may come accross dumb, but based on what you wrote: I've tried to find a Dr. and/or info on metals, chelation, etc. but have only found dead ends. I've heard info on vitamin/mineral supplements, but have not been able to find any adequate, valuable, reliable info on the subject. .....it sounds like perhaps you don't have Cutler's books yet. Again, pardon me if I am saying something stupid here that you already know. If I am not, you should get his book(s). ~Inga ___________________ Maybe on 9/24/04 8:47 PM, Sheila at sajerde@... wrote: > Dear Sheila: > > > Have you tried magnesium? Dana suggested it to us and worked like a dream. > > Regards, > > Dino > HI Dino, No, I've not tried magnesium, or anything that was non-medicinal. I guess I should set the record straight, I thought about how things sounded *after-the-fact*. MY son is on 10, yes ten, meds per day (some twice or 3 times per day). He has been " ill " and has been on as many as 17 meds per day. MY ultimate dream? To have him live a med- free life. As I said, he's only 5 years old, and I just can't see him living an entire lifetime taking that degree of meds each day. My original post on this subject...was to hopefully help the parent that posted understand why their child had not had a bowel movement in 6 days. It took me 6 weeks to get an answer for my son, and that's a long time for this type of problem. And, most dr.'s, especially those that are merely *family practice, general, internal, pediatrician, etc.* type dr's, are not knowledgeable enough to make such a diagnosis. Generally, the child will need to see a specialist, and the next question, at least for me, was what type of specialist. Identifying the problem is the first step. Then, I explained our current method of intervention. Yes, it works and we're doing good, but ultimately, it's not my first choice for a solution. My son has been diagnosed with all of the following... Autism/PDD ADHD Allergies (both food and inhalent) Asthma Hiatal hernia GERD (reflux) Acquired megacolon Severe, recurring middle ear infection and has had a history of excessive colds/flu's, bronchitis, phneumonia, etc. Pretty much all of these I have found some sort of connection to the Autism/PDD diagnosis. And, the way I see it, if I can *CURE* the autism, all the rest of these will disappear. Therefore, we won't have to take any of these meds. I figure if we were all created to take all of these drugs, they would grow naturally on trees or something. Therefore, pumping my son's body full of things that are not natural, in my thinking, is poisonous. ***BUT, to find an immediate fix, what else can a parent do? I've tried to find a Dr. and/or info on metals, chelation, etc. but have only found dead ends. I've heard info on vitamin/mineral supplements, but have not been able to find any adequate, valuable, reliable info on the subject. So, back to your question, I don't know anything about magnesium, what it helps, how much to give, how to obtain the product, etc. Please, if you can provide more info, I'd be tickled to learn all that I could.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I have not seen anybody mention the use of the ZAPPER on this site. I have been using one since the bginning of the year, and most of my candida like symptoms seemeed to have disappeared. If it works for that, then it is working for other " critters " as well. You might want to read up on Hulda 's work to or look up the " TERMINATOR ZAPPER " None of this is a substitute for unloading the body of toxic metals, but in your case, the use of somethng like this sounds like a possible option. I am new here and no expert...simply sharing what little info and experience I have had. ~Inga ______on 9/25/04 8:36 AM, danasview at danasview@... wrote: > Then, I explained our current method of intervention.

Milk is a common problem for almost all of the things you listed above. There are also other common problem foods, but milk is the most common. > So, back to your question, I don't know anything about magnesium, > what it helps, how much to give, how to obtain the product, etc. > Please, if you can provide more info, I'd be tickled to learn all > that I could. I buy magnesium from my local health food store. Start by giving about 100 mg extra per day, and work up from there to maybe 500 mg, see if it helps. Magnesium is a common deficiency, and lack of magnesium can cause constipation, leg cramps, and several other issues.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 That's okay Sheila. Tomatoe stains do wear off, lOL. ( I have seen my share of them, LOL) Look up http://noamalgam.com/ G E T T H E B O O K by Cutler. (He is probably smiling right now as he visits this site regularly.) This book is hands down, the most comprehensive I have found on the subject. Period. He has a couple of other books, which I am sure are great too, but I have not read them. ~Inga _______________ on 9/25/04 10:29 AM, Sheila at sajerde@... wrote: Inga, I must be newer than you, and what you said IS NOT stupid, but what I'm about to say may be...I've never heard of Dr. Cutler!

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I felt the same way and could not order his book right away. I lost all my financial support and became very ill and unable to take care of myself at the same time, and so I undersatand. I could not even tolerate the DMSA myself when I first startedm but in general, but I believe the protocol has been saving my life and I am gradually (very slow but ALSO very steadily) getting better. There is some info in the files at the site. I have not gone through much of it myself yet, but have been directed there by other people. That would be a place to start. Stay close to this site and get his book when you can. Since you have little or no money, you will want to make sure that what little you spend goes in the RIGHT direction, and is not wasted on a worthless doctor's visit. Can anybody tell her if she need to get one of Andy's other books instead? I only have AMALGAM ILLNESS and can not find the copy right now. He also has a book on autism, right?!?> Can anybody help her out with this? ~Inga ____________ on 9/25/04 12:59 PM, Sheila at sajerde@... wrote: > > Look up http://noamalgam.com/ > G E T T H E B O O K by Cutler.

Seems like it described me as much or more than it did my son. Unfortunately for me, I am a single mom of 2 and unable to work due to our ongoing problems. Deadbeat (I mean " Dad " ) has yet to help us with a penny, so we are surviving by the small amount of assistance we receive and the kindness of strangers and my mother, when she's able. So, $35.00 may as well be $350.00 to me at this time. I will try to look up what I can online, at least I have an idea of *WHAT* to look for.
