A client of mine is 43 and has suffered horribly from lupus since she was 29 years old.

No, it did not. I realize that there might be some backlash to this, but colloidal silver is a wonderful product for multiple issues, but sometimes an antibiotic is necessary.

hello, I was suffering from chronic constipation for almost a year. I am a male age 70.I also had difficulty with passing stools even though I eat high fiber and take Metamucil daily. Since I have diverticulosis the doctor scheduled a colonoscopy. That test was basically normal but the amazing thing is that it cured my constipation and restored my normal bowel habits. I can only assume this was due to the cleansing effect of the colonoscopy prep. I wanted to report this and ask if this kind of thorough bowel cleansing has helped others. Larry   [End]

lam27: Answer is ...hiatal hernia causes vomiting, burping, food sticking in the esophagus. Treatment: slowly drink a full glass of water before you eat, and the weight of the water will sink the stomach back down below the hernia. Also, eat fats which oil the food to slide down easier. Eat slowly and calmly since stress seems to cause the hernia to rise up above the stomach. Meat seems to stick like velcro, so eat fatty meat with lots of fat and in tiny bits mixed with other foods.   [End]

Diverticulitis affects the way a person tolerates alcohol, while alcohol consumption can lead to complications of diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is a condition characterized by inflamed or ruptured diverticula, which are bulging sacs in the lining of the large intestine. In general, alcohol negatively impacts even healthy individuals, but for someone with diverticulitis, the effects of alcohol may be greater and much worse.   [End]

your body creates plugs to scour the colon. In order to allow this to happen, you want no food of any kind. Fiber roughly scrapes the colon. all ”-itis” diseases are caused by pH imbalance, which leads to your inflammation. Diet change, transitioning to raw food, is your best bet.

Supplements are not a good idea during a water fast. Your condition will improve or go away if you fast for a long time. Post fast diet is very important for any health issue.

This is often a controversial subject, but most, including myself, would say that a water fast is water only. The reason behind this is that anything else can confuse your body into thinking it will be receiving food. If your body thinks it will be receiving food, it is less likely to start the process of catabolism and cleansing that is what we are looking for in a water fast. In my earlier days with fasting when I was just experimenting, I tried taking supplements and ended up with a serious stomach ache. Never did it again. Plus taking anything besides water can awaken your hun ...

Folky, Congratulations on completing five days. I agree that you should let the body take care of your stuff stuck in your colon. There are few things you can try.

When dealing with candida infection, successful treatment is done in two phases.

The second phase is the restoring phase where the good friendly bacteria found in probiotics and fermented veggies and kefir restore the microbiome of the gut to health.

For about a year I’ve been battling changes in my bowel movements, after a antibiotic treatment. Starting to wonder if it was even related to the treatment. I seen a doctor yesterday, and she feels my digestive tract is ok, however she agreed to refer me to a G.I. doctor. I had also been noticing little red dots on my arm, which I thought was petechiae.

I noticed yesterday, after I went on a sugar bin ...

I experienced a little bloody stool yesterday night but it got better quickly. I’m guessing it’s something like a fissure, there was no pain. I’m going to easily digestible foods until I can see a doctor on Monday, I’m probably being paranoid, but just want to be safe. Any recommended supplements? I took some licorice root to soothe.   [End]

i have same issues. i most of the time vomit out whatever i eat or drink. this is annoying. i noticed that it decreases if i divert my attention some place else. and it abnormally increases when i am upset. so i figured out that it is because of depression. it is GROSS!   [End]

Do any of you have any recommendations for an ND who is well versed in GI issues that will do phone consultations? Ive searched my state online but no one local has great reviews. I am in the US. Thanks   [End]
