Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 For anyone with digestion problems, I'd highly recommend checking out a particular brand of enzymes and a great book or website on them in general. But this brand, Houston, has been a miracle for a lot of parents with autistic children. Many have tried different brands but find this one to work, however like all else not for everyone. Children with autism are turning out to have some real serious leaky gut/digestion problems and for some, this gives them more ability to expand their limit diet. Here's the sites: https://host6.websitesource.com/houstonni/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=2127af020ae91a489c11d6326d309406 www.enzymestuff.com RE: Re: a reorientation HI, In 1999 I went from extremely sick, could not function, to feeling fantastic overnight, from changing my diet to low carb high protein (just veg and meat and eggs). But, as soon as I put something else back into my mouth, all the symptoms came back with a vengeance. I have tried to do the same thing about 3 times over the last few years and each time I either did not feel better or felt worse. So, it certainly was not the answer for me. Granted, I was not on the inulin, but if the diet worked at first and did not later, there is more going on than just candida. SO I think you are wise to think the diet is just controlling symptoms, I think that’s all it did for me and I was miserable eating all that meat. Focusing on the timing of food consumption helped me tremendously. Duncan – I understand what you are saying about timing not being important to candida, but I don’t think that is entirely correct. If I digest my food before the candida/bacterial overgrowth can , I don’t get symptoms, if I don’t then I do. I get symptom if I eat late at night or between meals. So, in my case timing does matter. It seems to be digestion that is the key for me, not the overgrowth per se. It seems like the overgrowth is there due to the poor digestion.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hi sue, The colonics are’t bad at all. I read during mine. The only uncomfortable part is sometimes the water can make you feel a little full. You are doing a good thing for yourself. They take about 1 hour and ½. I’m not well yet, but I’m 37 years old and I think I’ve been sick my whole life. I functioned ok until 5 years ago, but I started with the indigestion at about age 8 ( a lot of burping). So I’ve had that many years of toxicity build up. My digestion is much better, now I have to keep flushing and doing other things to get the congestion out of my lymph and blood. I did my first flush on Saturday and on Monday had my colonic. I have been getting really dark circles under my eyes since February 2003. I took parasite meds then so maybe that was the last straw for my liver. Anyway, both yesterday and today the dark circles are significantly less than what they have been , I’d say 50% less. I take this as a sign my blood is cleaner. So, even though I don’t feel 100% I think the healing has begun. When is your first flush ? Re: a reorientation Thanks for the advice . I found a colon hydrotherapist and have scheduled an appointment for a couple of days after the flush. I am a little nervous and do not know what to expect ... ! I am also trying to following the sleeping patterns and ayurvedic dosha balancing foods. I usually adopt change gradually. For some reason it takes time for me to embrace major change. I'm not sure why I have not checked out andreas' list before now. I've heard it mentioned many times on this list. I guess I did not question his advice when I read it in his book. After the great reviews people on this list have given his advice, I did not ask too many questions. I don't mean to sound desparate for a solution, but since I feel so out of touch with my body I welcomed andreas' certainty about how the body should work. Thanks for the advice. I'll linger on his list and see what challenges others are going through. How are you feeling?

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I am at the same point as you. I have lost so much weight and life as a result of my strict candida diet. I can't sustain it anymore. I'm 29, want to have children soon but can't until i get well. So i am focussed now on eating a good balanced diet - not too many carbs and sugary foods and i'm going to follow s book closely. I am going to start with a 3-day fast and then do the liver cleansing as he suggests. I have done one already and although it was very unpleasant i did feel much better. Can you tell me exactly what you are doing for your Kidney and Colon cleanses? Thanks for any help and best wishes - i know exactly how you feel, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I had dark circles for the longest time too. Doing the flushes got rid of them.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hi , I just did my first flush last night / today. I did not get many green stones, only a few. I had a very difficult time drinking the epsom salts. I could taste the bitterness even if I closed my nose with one hand. The colonic is tomorrow, so i'll see if there's anything left. Sorry to hear that you've been sick for so long. I started experiencing symptoms since I was 19. 10 years later, my symptoms have increased drastically. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling slightly better after the liver flush. I read a lot of the posts on andreas' list and many people mentioned that their first flush was not so successful, but they started seeing results on the 2nd and 3rd flush. Some got many stones on the 6th, 7th or 8th flushes. We'll see what happens. Good luck to you. I look forward to hearing about your progress. take care, sue. > > > > I agree Rick, that it does not, but by attending to the absolute > > > basics > > > > we are much further ahead than if we do not.
