Re: parasite and liver cleanse

[Guest guest]

Hi Helen,

Good for you for all you are doing to improve your health after the

years of abuse I am sure your body has undergone :-) I work at an

alcohol & drug treatment facility & know how challenging it can be to

reclaim your health. I just want to say blessings on your journey to

great health. Keep up the good work.

I was happy there was no tumor, but still frustrated of why I could

not eliminate. FINALLY (after 3 years), a colo-rectal surgeon

suggested he thinks I might have this condition called " Anismus " .

This is where the muscle above the anal sphincter contracts instead

of relaxes when you are trying to have a BM or pass gas. The

contracted muscle completely blocks the passage in the colon - so

you can push till the cows come home, but stool will only get

impacted up against the colon wall. The muscle blocks the ability

to get the stool to the rectum. (So in a way - it IS a bowel

obstruction). The bad news is there is no cure for this condition,

but the good news is biofeedback to retrain this muscle is 60%

successful.

Smooth;

I checked into this a little on Medline and it certainly is a very strange and

frustrating condition. I just wanted to thank you for bringing this to the

group's attention.

3 I am considerably overweight and although I have stopped eating sweets,

alcohol products and red meat, cut way back on all meat and starches and

switched to whole grain products I seem to have actually gained a pound or

two. I am eating more fruit but only one or two a day and nothing really

different just slightly more.

My lifestyle has been pretty unhealthy for the last 10 years but I am in

reasonable health I think considering extreme alcohol abuse (last 40 years),

and very poor eating habits among other things.

Any insight inot the above would be appreciated.

Thanks Helen

Helen;

When you start on a course of change in eating habits there is going to be a

very likely increase in weight as the body starts to adjust. But, one thing I

would like to point out is that not eating meat isn't necessarily a good thing

since it provides us with proteins and lecithin. Eating lean red meat goes a

long ways towards weight loss. Meat, like anything else, must be eaten in

balance with other food groups. Check out the information in regards to

eicosinoids in the following links. I think the one is very well written so as

to help you to see too that you need to have a good intake of fat too. It's just

not saturated fat like that which coagulates from meat like in the case of bacon

grease. One part hardens as it cools and the other will stay liquid.

The liver is the fat burning organ of the body. The colon is the waste and

nutrition medium. The liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small and large intestines

all work synergistically. When you consider them all together it isn't just the

one item with which you are dealing. It is all of them.

The heart is in the mix but is more of a user organ of the processes of these

other organs. Most heart disease is traceable to problems caused by the liver

and bowels not working as supposed. This is in difference to heart disease of

which is genetic or caused by other damaging factors besides toxicity in one

form or another.

A very good book by Dr Cabot that is very informative regarding the

liver, bowels, heart and weight loss is " The Liver Cleansing Diet " . This is a

very simple book to read. has written this in a format for the layman to

understand. It is 80 pages of basic information and then the rest is pretty much

a dieting plan for the liver and bowels. Once the process is realized it is

possible to follow this diet in principle by simply realizing what is good to

eat for the liver and bowels.

This is false IMO, it is always a good thing to stop eating meat. Meat has

nothing

in it that we cannot get from a plant based diet. There is ample protein just in

vegetables, you can add lentils or beans if you wish. You do NOT need any meat

for

protein or for lecithin. This is also available in a non animal form. Saturated

animal

fat is NO part of a healthy diet.

Hello Dale

Thanks for the info.

I do not see the links you mention? Having a bit of an off day so

probably I am missing something.

Good news about the meat as I have been thinking about a steak off

and on. Now if I can only justify having ketchup with it

I suspect I am not eating quite enough. I have a hard time eating in

the morning and I am trying not to eat to heavy in the evening so my

body thinks it is starving perhaps. I am working on it but it is

very hard to choke back even a muffin and fruit. Bizzarre eh.
