Guest guest Posted March 25, 1999 Report Share Posted March 25, 1999 My wife had stomach cancer and had her stomach removed a year ago. Recently she has had trouble with gas and not having normal bowel movements. She went into the hospital where they put her on IVs for two days and things started to get back to normal, but she is back to having pain and gas. Does anyone know about this? Anyone had a similar situation? Anyone know where to look for information on this sort of problem. Thanks Zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 1999 Report Share Posted April 28, 1999 Hi, I've been reading the archives for this group and decided to join. I have some questions about information I've come across here and about bowel/parasite cleanse in general. I decided to try an herbal cleanse (walnut/wormwood/cloves) after I found out that I had round worm (ascaris) and was prescribed mebendazol. Which I took. But I came across the herbal cleanse, and once I was done with the mebendazol, I thought I'd try the herbs too. I'm on day 16 and even though I'm not sure if the mebendazol took care of the roundworm, it's obvious that I've got other parasites (worms and flukes in addition to endolimax nana and blastocystis homini (sp?) that the lab said I had, but the doctor said doesn't need treatment!). So I'm really glad I'm doing the cleanse and want to make sure I'm rid of everything. Which brings me to my questions: In a previous entry someone posted information about non-colloidal copper water. The information (which I eventually found to be from the on-line seller of these waters, http://www.wateroz.com/index.htm) says that non-colloidal copper water kills all parasites. No one followed up on this. Is there more information? Also, I read somewhere (can't remember where) that an extra strength walnut hull enema can help kill parasites in the colon. But there was no recommendation for how much tincture to use? I have been using Rainbow Light brand black walnut tincure, does anyone know if it is indeed potent? Are there any recommendations for good brands? I've been consisering using ozonated olive oil and l-cystine (after CoQ10) to make sure that the roundworm is gone. But I prefer to buy things in a store as opposed to on-line. I live in the bay area. I've looked at some health food stores but haven't found it. Does anyone know of a local source? Thanks for any help. I'm still in shock over the parasites. And glad I found this list. _________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 15, 1999 Report Share Posted May 15, 1999 Hi, I'm in England, and would like to introduce myself. I'm 40, and had always considered myself fairly fit, but over the years was building up in my body the effects of stress, hard living, drinking, eating rubbish processed foods, and my exercise and relaxation time was shrinking from year to year. I went through about 10 years working for a corporation and feeling pretty unhappy about myself, my life, my acquaintances - in fact, nothing was right. Then a couple of years back, I had an illness which nearly saw me off - my weight dropped by 35 lbs (from a fit 170 lbs to begin with) and my digestive system had virtually packed up. I recovered through the help of an enlightened physician and my own will power and it's been a long road back to a semblance of health. In many ways I feel better now than in those stressed-out years, and have put together a daily 'plan' of diet, supplements, exercise, therapy and self-help methods which I will share with anyone who is interested. The fact is I enjoy my life greatly now, although I'm not totally free of physical problems. But my latest health check says that I'm free of any nasty illnesses and can look forward to a ripe old age. I look forward to hearing about others' experiences in this group, and wish to learn more about good health regimes adopted by others.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 1999 Report Share Posted May 15, 1999 Please give us more information on the Sedona method for dealing with suppressed feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 1999 Report Share Posted May 15, 1999 Nowadays, in fact for the past few years, I have followed a daily regime thus: I eat three meals a day, always at the same time (7 am, 12;30 and 6pm) and follow what is known here in England as the Hay Diet. It may have other names, but basically entails eating one carbohydrate meal, one protein meal and one fruit meal, all with plenty of fresh salad / vegetables. I don't know why this works, and physicians think it's nonsense, but I recommend it. I eat no meat, just the occasional fish, but mainly a vegetarian diet. Before each meal I have a small pot of live yoghourt with a tablespoon of wheatgerm mixed in. this is great for the digestion. I don't smoke and have given up alcohol almost completely. I drink about 2 litres of mineral water a day. I take the following supplements daily: Milk Thistle, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, 3000 mg Vitamin C, CoEnzyme Q10, Fish Oils. I exercise a little, mainly walking and stretching. I meditate daily for 20 minutes in the morning and evening. This I found difficult when I was ill but persevered with it even when I thought that perhaps 'I wasn't doing it right'. I also practice the Sedona method for spontaneous release of suppressed feelings. This I would recommend to anyone as a real way of gaining a positive 'can do' attitude, which is all-important. Let me know if you want more details of this. I have eliminated some stressful areas of my life, and now run my own business. I spend more time with my family, and most days feel great. I always try to get to bed before 11 pm and generally sleep about 6 hours which is enough. And lastly, I find time for all the things I really enjoy in life, and savour those moments.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 1999 Report Share Posted May 15, 1999 Anyone wanting information on the Sedona method could try mailing release@.... There is a course of audio tapes which takes about a week or so to complete, and starts working (well it did for me) after the second tape. Basically the method incorporates the following: - It gets you to understand your feelings and emotions (e.g. fear, grief, anger) as they arise. - Instead of suppressing the feelings (which has repurcussions on all areas of health), or expressing them which can be almost as bad, you release them in a very simple and powerful way. I found this actually had an almost immediately beneficial effect on my digestive system. - After a while, you get to release feelings spontaneously throughout the day. It worked for me in clearing out layers of old resentment and guilt, and then I felt able to focus more of my energy on the things that matter to me - health, relationships, etc. Hope this is of help.

I know most people have a huge problem with this, but if you will keep an open m,ind, and give it a try, you just might be surprised. Garlic is supposedly a toxic poison. It does have some good qualities...antibiotic/antiviral, etc, but most people don't know that it is supposed to be a deadly poison. Like rattlesnake venom, you can eat it with no readily apparent reaction, but if you get just a little directly in the blood stream, it is deadly. Seriously. Some natives dip their arrows or needles in garlic. When you eat garlic, according to Dr Beck, it desynchronizes your brain waves. This is supposedly easily demonstrated on an EEG machine, or on a good bio-feedback machine. Try going for 3 weeks without any, and then take some and see what happens. You just might be surprised. > I exercise a little, mainly walking and stretching. > I meditate daily for 20 minutes in the morning and evening. > This I found difficult when I was ill but persevered with it > even when I thought that perhaps 'I wasn't doing it right'. > I also practice the Sedona method for spontaneous release of > suppressed feelings.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 1999 Report Share Posted June 26, 1999 Thank you for the welcome! I'll be happy to tell you where I've come from and where I am now. Five years ago, I was so wasted from fibromyalgia and arthritis' overall pain and inadequate sleep that I could no longer hold a thought in my head. I remember reading the same page over and over, just trying to get it to 'stick'. I'll just list the rest that I can remember: Arthritis, especially hands and hips TMJ Hypothyroid condition Weak wrist Frozen Shoulder Insomnia--neck pain so bad I couldn't lay my head down on the pillow Poor bladder control Chronic nasal back drip PMS Heavy, painful menses Chronic Fatigue Three cancerous breast lumpectomies and two courses of radiation Throat would close off--had to constantly sip water Bruise really easily Uterine fibroids Positive PAP smears Several pre-cancerous uterine episodes ----and had the affected cells frozen off twice Massive gas and digestive problems Itchy skin Allergies to pollen, animal dander, pollution, fumes, feathers, dust, many foods Chronic colon problems--6 months of diarrhea; two colonoscopies Constipation ALL THESE SYMPTOMS DEVELOPED ON A LACTO-VEGETARIAN DIET! THAT CLEARLY WASN'T ENOUGH FOR ME. Constipation coats the intestines so nutrients are poorly absorbed and holds ingested foods so long that they turn to poison which is reabsorbed into the bloodstream. I believe that caused the rest of my problems. Dr. Paavo Airola ['There is a Cure for Arthritis'] found a very strong link between constipation and arthritis. I imagine the same applies to fibromyalgia, candida--maybe all the 'chronics'. How about you?? I'm curious about the link between constipation and other diseases. I'd appreciate hearing. With a letter from my doctor, I applied for Disability. Then I met a guy who was fascinated by my predicament because he had had a life-diminishing body situation, also---and pulled himself out of it by his dietary choices. He read books to me about individuals who had guided his choices. He said he thought I could gain paradise health by gradually shifting to just raw fruits and starchless vegetables, and that he would do the diet with me. At the same time as was going-- " Raw! Raw! Raw! " , an Ayurvedic practitioner was soothingly reading my pulses, and telling me that my constitution wasn't hardy enough to eat raw foods--that I needed cooked food, warmth and sweetness in my life! Which would YOU have been drawn to? , of course! He'd actually HEALed on what he was offering---NObody else was offering anything but temporary relief. So I added raw fruits and vegetables to what I was already eating---and had a massive gas attack! But I held to it, drinking up to a gallon of peppermint tea with maple syrup a day, which did help alot. Then, about two and a half months after starting, my elimination kicked in, the gas passed, [chortle] and my body had made the switch. What I did was to gradually add more organic, non-starchy vegetables, green, leafy salads and fruits to my diet, and ONE BY ONE, eliminate hard-to-digest and clogging-up type foods to which I was accustomed such as all salt, grains, dairy products, meat, fish, tofu. All these foods clog up your system, back up into your circulation and create problems with all the systems of your body. This switch was completed over several months. For the past four and a half years, I have eaten organic fruits and vegetables and NOTHING ELSE. It was 80% raw the first few years; for the past three months and going strong, it's been all raw. Wouldn't recommend doing it faster than feels right! I'd tried all raw out briefly now and then, earlier, but for me, it took until now to feel great, physically, with all raw. I'm weighing in a little light these days, but when my body is cleared of everything it wants to unload, I am confident that I will be at whatever is my optimum weight. I know that it sounds very radical to have no concentrated protein or starch in my diet, but these foods are difficult to digest, are constipating, and will bring your health down if you don't have a strong enough digestive fire to break them down. When your health is compromised, you need to get back to the basics concerning food choices: fresh fruits and starchless vegetables. THESE HAVE THE MOST AVAILABLE, MOST EASILY ASSIMILATABLE PROTEIN ON EARTH! [They also provide the richest nutrition in all other areas as well. So you don't need as much as is usually recommended.] I've come to accept from many knowledgeable sources that cooking proteins and starches renders them nearly impossible to digest--that they sit fermenting and rotting because they can't be moved out quickly enough. Recently, I added flax seed oil to my daily salad for the essential fatty acids. I added flax seed, soaked overnight, to further improve elimination. .. I FEEL THAT ALL FORMS OF CONSTIPATION INCLUDING DIARRHEA ARE THE BASIS OF DISEASE. I might mention that over the years, I had been advised by an herbalist to use several teas; by an acupuncturist, several tinctures, homeopathic remedies and ointments; by a Chinese Medicine practitioner, chicken, Chinese medicines and teas; by M.D.s, an armload of vitamin and mineral supplements. ..Seeing no dent in my ill health, I dumped all forms of supplements when I began to include fruits and vegetables and to eliminate cooked starches and the last vestiges of animal proteins from my diet. My health has made quantum leaps for the better! I'm climbing mountains; can do hefty physical work; dance vigorously several times a week. My concentration is much improved, though 'mind fog' perhaps will be the last vestige of fibromyalgia to go. A daily salad rich in dark greens such as dinosaur (or 'black') kale, sprouts, spinach, arugula, boy choy--with freshly made avocado/lemon juice/scallion/garlic dressing is what I added to my diet which made the most difference of all. I also juice vegetables, orange juice and wheat grass daily. Twice or three times a day, I use reverse-osmosis water that I purify further in the sun to make a quart of lemonade made with juice of one organic lemon and 1 T. organic raw honey. I bone-deep believed that these changes would pull me through! Surely my mindset is powerfully working for me. It certainly kept me going through days when I needed the boost of a home colonic or during an arthritic flare up. Reports from others on this path offer reassurance that flare ups are a sign of healing. Healing looks like the disease, only for a briefer period of time. If you are eating harmful things or are burdening yourself with stress, it may be disease. If nothing harmful is going in, most likely, it is a flare up that will quickly pass. As far as I'm concerned, THIS IS THE CURE FOR FIBROMYALGIA! I have nothing to sell or gain. I'm sharing this because I want to offer what has already been a miracle in my life. I'd be glad to share information sources--books, menus, my personal recipes, etc., if this approach appeals to anyone. This way of life was a joint (pun intended!) effort with my friend, . Having a juicing buddy with whom I prepared meals and bought in bulk was immeasurably supportive. But what it really comes down to is doing it for your own life, in awe of having a body this time around. We're in this together. Have heart! I believe you too can heal!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 1999 Report Share Posted June 26, 1999 > I FEEL THAT ALL FORMS OF CONSTIPATION INCLUDING DIARRHEA ARE > THE BASIS OF DISEASE. True enough, as far as it goes, but definitely lacking... It is not constipation in andx of itself, it is the lifestyle that creates the condition of constipation. Forgive me for being a stickler for details, but failing to define the source of a problem is the biggest problem that we have as a species. We are much too quick to say things like 'Guns kill people', or this germ makes me sick', when we should be looking at the sources of the problem - Guns require a finger to pull the trigger (and a mindset capable of pulling the trigger while it is pointed at someone), and germs requirea certain condition of the body to be able to flourish. > I might mention that over the years, I had been advised by an > herbalist to use several teas; by an acupuncturist, several > tinctures, homeopathic remedies and ointments; by a Chinese > Medicine practitioner, chicken, Chinese medicines and teas; > by M.D.s, an armload of vitamin and mineral supplements. > .Seeing no dent in my ill health, I dumped all forms of > supplements when I began to include fruits and vegetables and > to eliminate cooked starches and the last vestiges of animal > proteins from my diet. I agree with this completely, with certain clarifications... There are exceptions to every rule, and there are certainly some cases where the wise use of certain supplements and foods that you might not want to make a permanent part of your life can dramatically help clear up a problem you might be having. Superfoods (spirulina, chlorella, dehydrated green grass juices and bee pollen/royal jelly are the main ones) are something that I would strongly recommend to anyone taking the raw path (which I am striving to do), because of the fact that the condition of our soils are so deteriated that raw fruits and vegetables contain far less of the nutrients that they did just 100 years ago. A good enzyme supplement would go a long way to speeding up the process of detoxification, as will the use of certain digestive tract cleansing systems like Dr Schulzes and/or Arise and Shines. There is also a diet that can dramatically enhance weight loss - and when combined with some superfoods and a lot of enzyme supplementation can be very healthy - and that is Dr Atkins low carb diet. It is very heart/artery healthy (contrary to popular belief), and though it is high in animal protein, as a temporary weight loss diet, it is almost effortless once you have gotten past the carb withdrawals (2-3 days). His main peeves are the simple carbs (processed sugar/sugar products and processed flour/flour products) which accounts for just about everything on the average supermarket shelf. > My health has made quantum leaps for the better!

This was after six months on a carefully monitored, all-raw vegan diet. I had to add some cooked food and animal protein in order to feel better and stop the shedding. Now I have shorter hairs throughout my scalp where the hair started regrowing, so the loss wasn't permanent. OTOH, my skin was gorgeous, I loss a ton o'weight and felt energetic. Which I still do, by the way. Irene Very funny, y.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 1999 Report Share Posted July 1, 1999 Marcus, I'm excited to have struck a chord within you! I agree, lifestyle is of course the basis of constipation. Perhaps the basis of lifestyle is our belief system. I will send you my daily diet plan. I've just emailed friend , inviting him to respond to your letter, as well, and to write up our book list to share with you. The JEANUINE-RICHUAL DIET PLAN Use 100% organic ingredients! I. 7:30 AM Lemonade Juice one lemon 1 to 2 T. honey Stir into 1 Qt. filtered water II. 8:00 AM Wheatgrass/OJ Juice 8-10 oranges [16 oz.] Juice 1/4 tray wheatgrass [2 oz.] Optional: Put 1/2 inch piece of gingerroot and one Fuji apple through WG juicer Combine and enjoy! III. 9:00 AM Carrot Juice 2 pounds carrots [around 8-9 carrots] 2 stalks celery 1 small beet 1/2 cucumber Optional: 1-2 cloves garlic IV. 10:00 AM Orange-Banana Smoothie Juice 6-7 oranges [14 oz.] Blend with 4-5 bananas Optional: 1T. spirilina V. 12:00 noon Sauri Rolls 12 leaves of dinosaur (black) kale, bok choy, romaine or green leaf lettuce Ripe avocado 12-24 soaked sundried tomato halves [available from Jaffe Bros.--(619)-749-1133] Place 1/12 of an avocado and a piece or two of tomato in a leaf, roll up, and enjoy! VI. 2:00 PM One Quart Lemonade or Herbal Tea with honey VII. 5:00 PM The Daily Salad Avocado Salad Dressing Juice 1/2 lemon with a spoon Mince a clove of garlic and a scallion and set aside to soak in lemon juice. Prepare dried dulse: Remove seashells Soak 5 min.; drain; soak in new water 5 min. again [to remove all salt] Squeeze away water and mince. Stir into lemon juice. Mash 1 whole avocado into the above. Add 1 T. flaxseed oil While this is marinating, prepare other salad ingredients: Finely grated carrot, dinosaur kale, romaine or green leaf lettuce. bok choy, arugula, spinach, sprouts, celery, tomatoes, soaked sundried tomatoes, red bell pepper [green is unripe and hard to digest], and cucumber. Since constipation is such a widespread health issue, Soaked Flaxseeds, eaten whole, with juice of 1 lemon and 1 T. honey may be eaten daily with benefit. Just be careful to drink it at least two hours after eating anything else and wait at least one hour after drinking it, before eating anything, or there may be compromised digestion, with a gassy reaction. An alternative recipe [Perhaps the Omega 3 oils are more available?]: Flax Shake 6 T. flaxseed, soaked 5+ hrs. in pint water 1 lemon and 1 T. honey [or juice of 2 oranges] Blend. Some Mucusless Cooked Foods can be eaten later in the day from the raw foods during the perhaps lengthy transition to all raw. [Ours was 4 years.] They should not add any residue, and should the cleansing process get unpleasant sometimes, one can use them to slow it down to a more comfortable level. Recipes: Jahmbort [Vegetable Goulash] [Even though the more quickly digested salad is eaten first, I used to cut up food for cooking--setting aside short-time cookers--while I was preparing salad so the onions and shitakis can be simmering while I work. I added the rest of the vegetables 10-15 min. before I wanted to eat them.] Some mucusless vegetable possibilities: Garlic, onions, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant. shitaki mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes. We varied the flavoring with lemon juice, fennel, basil, oregano, and/or Glen Muir tomato paste [or any other organic paste made only of tomatoes] Steamed Artichoke or Baked Potato [if using them. They are minimally mucus forming. Potatoes can also be in the Jahmbort.] Each of these is delicious dressed with lemon juice or the above avocado salad dressing. Now that I'm no longer sick and at home, thanks to my lifestyle changes, I carry the mid-day food around in my car with me, in a cooler! Please tell me more about yourself!

Guest guest Posted September 5, 1999 Report Share Posted September 5, 1999 HI My name is Annette I have been suffering with bowel problems for at least 20 yr.. now. My doctor has categorized me with lazy bowel, and suggests more fiber and water. Nothing I have done to date has seemed to help. I learned about bowel cleansing from reading info on the net. It seems very interesting and makes a lot of sense, but there seems to be so may products on the market to do this, how do you choose what is right for you. I am so tired of feeling sick and tired. A year or so ago a friend suggested Herbal fiber blend and Barley green, which I took faithfully for about two months, but I ended up in worse shape. I don't know if it just wasn't long enough or what. Does anyone have any suggestions on products or methods, or readings. I'm more confused on what direction to take than ever! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
