OK here's a protocol (finally)

[Guest guest]

Sorry Cat, I haven't sent in a protocol for them to link to, but for

what it's worth just did a basic one for a paying client with Crohn's

disease. It doesn't include molybedenum, but it does mention a trace

mineral complex like montmorillonite, which will contain some:

----------------------------

To start it off, a couple of things that bowel disorders have in

common can be adressed to produce pretty uniformly positive results,

and both amount to a food approach that is missed or contradicted by

medicine.

About 96% of bowel disorders contain a component of dysbiosis that is

at least aggravating the condition if it didn't cause it. Dysbiosis

only means bad bacterial fluorish that incidentally produces a rather

large toxin load, which is irritating to the bowel lining 24/7.

Actually, medicine, probably the antibiotics, contributed greatly to

the Crohn's and dysbiosis.

Dysbiosis is corrected mainly by low-carbing and taking either high-

inulin foods or powdered inulin to the amount that is missing in the

modern diet, about 4/5 of optimal levles or about 12-15 grams. It's

blatantly non-toxic but can increase gas production for a couple of

weeks.

Most cases of illness including toxin-driven illnesses have

systemically depleted the master antioxidant and detoxifier, and in

local pockets as is seen in arthrits and Crohn's disease lesions, the

glutathione can be also completely depleted, which allows a large

amount of inflammation and free radical damage. This is serious in

any degenerative or inflammatory disorder and in Crohn's the

unchecked free radical damage irritates and perforates the bowel

lining probably even more than the original irritant because damage

proceeds like a chemical reaction until it is quenched, and the

required glutathione has been depleted.

So, we use a basic program to reduce the toxin load in the first

place with inulin, which feeds the good, probiotic bacteria so they

can control bowel ecology. We also use undenatured whey and selenium,

which produces the glutathione, which reduces irritants as well as

the actual free radical damage, which occurs in cascades until they

are quenched anyway. Glutathione is also an immunomodulator that

controls the inflammation caused by the immune response itself.

To add to that, because we know that carbohydrate foods feed bad

bowel ecology, we go low-carb to help starve them out. Rather than

listing the hundreds of foods that are OK on a low-carb diet, you

should learn which few are not OK: potatoes, corn, all sugary and

starchy foods, sweet potatoes, yams, sugar beets, most fruits, that

kind of thing. I think the rice will impair your progress. It seems

well and good but your probiotic bacteria do not used it half as fast

as candida and bowel pathogens do, and I think you've probably been

maintaining the infection with it.

Some of the comments on my feedback page are from people with Crohn's

who successfully used the approach; you should feel a material

improvement in 10 days to a month, and continue to improve for two or

three months.

If you choose to use an effective but relatively expensive

supplement, I'd recommend a high-dose probiotic along with the inulin

to seed a starter culture perhaps faster than you would without it.

This is not absolutely required but will speed up the reconditioning

of the bowel ecology. Here's an example on my site; you could use 5-

10 capsules of my first choice, 20 caps of the others, or a third of

a pouch of VSL#3 with the inulin:

undenatured whey: http://tinyurl.com/cuzcc

The glutathione created by undenatured whey and selenium is also used

directly in the ATP energy reaction; not only does it reduce the

toxin load that impairs energy production, it increases actual energy

production and recovery too. More info on glutathione is in my

references; even if you don't read them you can see in Dr. Gutman's

and the FDA presentations that low glutathione is uniformly bad and

actually all degenerative processes rely on glutathione being low.

I don't think that IBD running in the family is a concern because so

does a diet low in glutathione precursors and low in inulin, the two

main factors that will reliably lead to disorders.

I can suspect that you'll probably need a potassium supplement; I

use " No-salt " no-sodium salt, and I don't use table or celtic salt at

all. Salt is antagonistic to potassium, and I'd recommend that casual

exposure to salt is plenty.

A degree of malabsorption always exists in bowel disorders, so you'll

need a little extra vitamins and minerals until you heal. I'm not a

nutritionist as I told you but these doses are fairly low and

probably currently depleted anyway.

* Zinc, 50 mg daily

* selenium 400-600 mcg daily

* undenatured whey 70 grams, (about 2 heaping tbsp, twice daily)

* inulin, a heaping tsp, (about 4 grams), three or four times with

meals.

* vitamin C - 2,000 mg at least twice, preferably 3x daily

* b-50 complex with folate also at least twice

* vitamin D, about 4,000 IU daily

* vitamin A, 10,000 IU daily

* vitamin E, 400 IU daily

* trace minerals, perhaps montmorillonite

* potassium, about 2 grams with your food, as " No-Salt " or some such.

You might initially need a few to several caps of betaine HCl with

each meal, until you start secreting adequate stomach acid again.

Give some consideration also to chromium, vanadium, and also calcium,

magnesium, and boron.

With regard to the achy feeling and brain fog, etc. Those symptoms

are from toxin and free radical load and they'll be reduced as you

reduce toxin production and quench toxin load. The liver and kidneys,

the detoxifying organs, are the biggest and second biggest users of

glutathione.

Lactose intolerance is eliminated by correcting bowel ecology with

inulin. That explains the on and off of the condition. Using inulin

to increase probiotics allows them to eat the lactose so you don't

react to it. So, traces of lactose in the undenatured whey will be OK.

Asthma, as you'll see in the glutathione references, is a condition

of toxin load usually depleted glutathione in the lung tissue.

Adequate glutathione will also reduce the sinus problem. You'll be

using undenatured whey, but you should know that the sinus and the

lungs can absorb glutathione directly, and glutahtione is available

as Mucomyst, a prescription asthma inhaler. This does not increase

systemic levels so perish the thought.

Blood pressure and other stress symptoms are increased by any

physical stressor including malnutrition and toxin load. You might

not be on the BP meds for long

> I have been taking these supplements Tribulus 500mg, VitaminD3,

> Acidophilus, Vitamin C 100mg, Vitamin E 400iu, Alpha Lipoic Acid

> 600mg, Vitamin A 10,000iu, CoenzymeQ10 150mg

The tribulus will not increase metabolic rate as well as an HGH

increase does. This might be an entirely new approach to you but it

should be interesting reading:

http://members.shaw.ca/SomaLife-gHP/

Keep taking the lipoic acid; it recycles glutathione, but does NOT

provide the missing precursors in the undenatured whey and selenium.

The CoQ10 may not be necessary for long; it also helps to recycle

glutathione but usually the body creates enough of it and it's mainly

useful if you're taking drugs such as statins that deplete CoQ10.

You can take as much undenatured whey as you need to stop the flares;

once glutathione is replete you shouldn't get them, and any excess

will go to healing the leaky gut syndrome that is invariably present

in bowel disorders.

Let's not assume for the time being that you have a serious systemic

candida; this might remain a non-issue.
