Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi Ken! Thanks for that info. Do you think the iodine will prevent the whatever it is from killing off my stomach lining as it dies? I can't think of anything else it could be other than the pathogen which intially killed off my tastebuds. If I don't zap or pulse, my stomach returns to normal (ie doesn't hurt when food is in it and produces enough acid to digest stuff) It takes several weeks for that to happen after I quit trying to kill whatever it is, so you can see that I am a bit leery of doing something that will only kill it without protecting the cells around it. > > She'll likely just tell you to get some Lugol's Iodine.

Well, whatever is in my stomach *was* getting killed by zapping apparently, since zapping made the problem worse. Later, I also started using a magnetic pulser (from Bob Becks work, which, with a 9 " depth projection, targets exactly those kinds of areas) which made the problem especially bad although it has been very helpful with my friend's liver infection. I know I was killing something in there since I was experiencing the same tingling kinda burning sensation I got while getting rid of an eye infection earlier. My friend also reports feeling something similar when he pulses his liver area. And I always take probiotics after zapping or pulsing or taking goldenseal root (also a great herbal solution to bacterial infections although not recommended for more than 2 weeks at a time). I find the multi-strain probiotic works just fine despite what Duncan was saying about them. I do kinda wonder, since goldenseal root doesn't cause this stomach lining problem if maybe it is a fungal infection of some sort. Didn't Dr. mention a bread mold or something that would release quite a toxic poison when it died? I have looked thru her book a number of times trying to find that reference again but can't seem to locate it. > If you want to protect your GI tract, I would take 1 TBSP L-glutamine > powder along with 1 TSP probiotic powder in water 30 minutes after dosage > with Lugol's, etc. The L-glutamine will begin the healing process for your > GI tract and the probiotics will recolonize your mouth, throat, and > intestines, keeping candida in check and making you overall healthier, > especially if you've ever taken antibiotics/penicillin or even birth control > for that matter.

Not only are they part of the whole 'put a bandaid on the broken leg' medical mentality, but if I don't have enough acid in there already, taking such things would only make things way worse, it would seem. If I am really desperate, I take a swig of seltzer water, which helps (I know, wood alcohol). I do know I can get the L-glutamine at a health food store, but do you get the iodine and HCL at a pharmacy? or? Thanks! Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur 888-533-7007 www.BestZapper.com www.BestWithoutDrugs.com Re: Re: Best zapper? (Ken) Well, as I said, it coats the lining of the GI tract as it moves through so I would say theoretically, that this " barrier " will provide ample protection against whatever is attacking your stomach, whether it be salmonella, shigella, h. pylori, etc. I must stress that if you are allergic to iodine, you obviously should not use Lugol's iodine, nor any other iodine for that matter. We all know, or should, that zapping is ineffective against parasites located in the stomach, intestines, eyes, lymph, and blood as they are protected by their surrounding tissues and therefore will not help stomach parasites. That is where the iodine comes into play. You may want to give it a triple-bang by using the Lugol's along with Black Walnut Tincture and Colloidal silver. This should definitely do it. Make sure you replenish your good flora with probiotics as these antiparasitics are indiscriminatory and will kill them as well. If you want to protect your GI tract, I would take 1 TBSP L-glutamine powder along with 1 TSP probiotic powder in water 30 minutes after dosage with Lugol's, etc. The L-glutamine will begin the healing process for your GI tract and the probiotics will recolonize your mouth, throat, and intestines, keeping candida in check and making you overall healthier, especially if you've ever taken antibiotics/penicillin or even birth control for that matter. If your stomach isn't producing enough acid, supplement with betaine hydochloride (HCL). Take one tablet every ten minutes until indigestion is gone. Obviously, if you are taking antacids or proton pump inhibitors(Prevacid, Prilosec, etc.), STOP! This not only ruins digestion it protects any bugs in your stomach by shutting off the acid supply that would normally hinder it's growth and activities.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I agree with you about the benefit of the current not reaching into the intestines sparing our good flora, but what benefit do we receive by it not reaching our stomach? There are NO beneficial organisms found in the stomach, only harmful ones like H. Pylori, salmonella, and shigella. This is why the Lugol's must be used to " coat " the lining of the stomach in order to kill these bugs that like to burrow into our stomach and create ulcers and all other sorts of problems. The blood is protected from the zapper's current by the blood vessels and the lymph fluid is protected by the lymph vessels just as the bowel contents are protected by the colon. You don't see this as possible? Ken -- Re: Best zapper? (Ken) " We all know, or should, that zapping is ineffective against parasites located in the stomach, intestines, eyes, lymph, and blood...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi, Ken, I do not agree with your statement of their being no beneficial bacteria in the stomach and only harmful ones. Even if that were the case, I do not agree with consuming Lugol's iodine on a regular basis. I consumed Lugol's iodine for a few months about 6 years ago and felt terrible and couldn't digest anything properly. I have a video of Dr. conducting a 2 hour syncrometer demonstration in Ft. CO in 1999 and she talks about digestive tract bacteria a little. I got the hint that (ascaris) and it's ability to mess up our iron metabolism is really the biggest problem with indigestion do to lack of stomach acid. She quoted that the consumption of hot peppers is probably what keeps the Mexican population healthy because they eat (ascaris) by the handful she says on the video. I have also found that developing a taste for hot peppers has banished my stomach problems that I used to have. I think it is extremely important to keep (ascaris) in check with hot peppers. I prefer the Habanero peppers. One single Habanero pepper will be enough for several meals because they are so hot and contain so much of the compounds that seems to kill (ascaris) and deliver good digestion. A little sliver the size of a wooden match head can be all it takes to make the mouth hot and get the stomach juices going. I have been experimenting with hot peppers for a few years now and have found that pickling them or fermenting them is not good for me. Anybody who knows what Tabasco sauce tastes and smells like knows the fermented " essence " I am speaking of. I have had best results with fresh peppers and Dr. highly recommends fresh Jalapeno seeds for (ascaris)as well. This fall I am going to try freezing a whole bunch of Habanero's peppers and hopefully they will last me the entire year. My plan is to take one out of the freezer and thaw it out, cut a sliver off before each meal, zappicate it and I think it will still be fresh for killing (ascaris) and allow me good stomach acid and digestion. Dr. also on the video says that the reality of the flora in our digestive tract is really dependant upon the p.h. of the stomach and really WHAT you eat. She says that no amount of taking supplemental bacteria is going to establish a health flora if you do not correct the p.h. environment. It what appear that once you get the (accaris) under control with hot peppers like Habanero's then the stomach problems naturally correct themselves. That has been my experience. Proper iron metabolism seems to be extremely important in keeping the digestive polarity proper to load stomach acid in the stomach and kill bad bacteria and facilitate protein and fat digestion. Also what you eat is very important. If you consume raw salads all day and cooked pasta you are going to have lots of stomach problems because you alkalinise your digestive tract which should be acid and all these bad bacteria will grow. They thrive in this environment. I can't get into all the major aspects of stomach digestion and acid/alkaline balance of the digestive tract because it is very complicated. We all do not eat the same foods due to diet philosphies so my suggestion is to check out this new website by Aajonus and read the 2 online books to understand how p.h. of the stomach and dietary principles affect the stomach. You may not agree with eating raw foods but at least you will understand how the digestive tract works in relation to food. He has the best arguments and theories I have read on the digestive tract: www.wewant2live.com Corey > > I agree with you about the benefit of the current not reaching into the > intestines sparing our good flora, but what benefit do we receive by it not > reaching our stomach?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I was not aware that regular zapping does not include the blood and lymph. I guess it travels primarily along the vessels like you mention. Of course this is not a problem because I can simply place a slide of a drop of my own blood or throat mucous on a plate and plate zap my blood or lymph. To get some lymph I just swallow a few times so my throat is dry, tip my head back and twist my neck back and forth, I can usually sense some lymph drop down into the back of my throat. If I can't get any than I know I need to eat some raw eggs to make some healthy lymph fluid or I need to zap and bring the pressure down in my upper sinuses. Then the lymph will flow down my throat. I zappicate ALL food that I eat including raw eggs and other raw animal foods so that I am not getting any harmful bacteria.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I don't recall recommending regular iodine consumption. Lugol's iodine is simply what Dr. recommends to eradicate the parasites that are difficult to kill in the stomach. For the record and to straighten any confusion I may have caused, Lugol's Iodine should only be taken when one has reason to believe that they are infested with one them so long as there are no allergies to iodine, of course. If you don't agree with my belief that there are no beneficial bacteria in the stomach, which species live there? Anyone with some specifics on this one? Ken -- Re: Best zapper?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Dr. is quite specific that the blood is what the zapper DOES activate. The blood vessels are very conductive, as is the colon wall due to its salinity. The bowel CONTENTS are not zapped as much because white blood cells should not be in there if you are at all healthy.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Ken, I am not sure which species live there. I based my conclusion on the fact that why would our stomach be designed to harbour only bad bacteria? To me that seems like a major creation flaw!

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hi Corey, I've been through the entire raw foods diet but after a while modified it to about 50% raw and now I eat lots of fermented foods & fish and occassionally organic chicken & eggs. I was interested in your studies bout peppers. I've always had digestive problems, though I eat very healthy foods. I've taken lots of digestive enzymes but did not seem to resolve the problem. However, a few weeks ago, a Korean friend taught me how to make kimchi. As per Nourishing Traditions (and makes sense to me), it's good to eat fermented or pre digested foods with meat so that it becomes easier to digest the meat. Anyway, I started eating kimchi regularly, esp. when I eat fish or eggs. Bout the only time of the day that I don't eat kimchi is breakfast. My digestive system has improved a lot ever since. And I'm wondering if it's the peppers in the kimchi on top of it being a fermented product. I used to get a lot of gastric problems and I often hear gastric sounds coming from my stomach area. But no longer. I am just starting to realize that the problem may have been because I ate too much raw foods. Any other suggestions to improve stomach acid and digestion in general?
