Puzzling dillemnas...!

Here's the first dillemna:
My body does not deal with fats very well. Sure, I get liver pain all the time, but there is something special about fats. They are not dealt with properly, even though I only consume "fats that heal". They are immediately sent to storage without giving me a chance to use them --in a most uncomfortable manner, I might add. They also give me liver pain.
Okay, so no big deal, right? I just cut out all dietary fats in my diet until I get my liver cleansed and functioning better. However, in order to feel functional, I HAVE to take at least 400 drops of Grapefruit-Seed-Extract a day --this is a lipid. I am screwed if I do not take this. Really. Like I wouldn't be able to function at work or anything (I'm a preschool assistant teacher, so I need to be able to function!)
Second dillemna: I don't understand WHY I am so dependent on Grapefruit-Seed-Extract as opposed to any other anti-parasitic herb. ( I know that it's parasites and not candida because no other antifungal has any effect on me, and my doctor confirmed this through kinesiology.)
It's like the Grapefruit-Seed-Extract immediately nuetralizes the parasitic "reaction" that I get after eating when they start to feed --fatigue after eating, feeling drained, brain fog, and an annoying "gnawing" feeling inside my chest and throat area. Also a fake hunger for carbs.
Could it be that GSE kills a certain kind of parasite that I have better than the other herbs?
Should I just cut out all dietary fat other than GSE? Does anyone know of any substitute for GSE that works similarly that is NOT a lipid?
I thank you all for your patience with all my questions! Your replies are very much appreciated!!!

I know I will be of no help to you but I am hoping maybe someone who reads this will know something about Fats. I am 115 lbs and 5'6 and about 3-4 yrs ago I started getting fat (Cellulite) on the backs of my leggs. Any idea why?
Could this be from my liver not digesting fats?
If so I am hoping that after finishing my liver I will sholve this problem.

This is a reply to # 128,869Could be the liver not digesting fats well and also not detoxifying well...cellulite is a combonation of fat and toxins.

This is a reply to # 128,873So then in theory, it would be possible for a person to be fat WITHOUT cellulite? (If a non-toxic, perfectly healthy person just decides to eat A LOT of food?)
How come you never see these people? Or do they exist mostly in other countries, like Africa where maybe there aren't as many environmental toxins but the women force themselves to get fat for beauty and status? It makes sense, though, since even back when I was "healthy", I was always very slim and trim, yet for some reason I would always have cellulite (lots) on the back of my thighs. No one would believe it when I told them! So as I progress in my cleansing, can I expect to loose this cellulite problem?
Where ARE these toxins that cause cellulite, anyway? Are they INSIDE the individual fat cells, and if so, how did they get there? Which cleanse will actually flush these toxins out of the fat cells? Is there a cellular level cleanse? Just curious how it all works.
Oh! by the way, Ptree, I should probably make sure my pipes are flowing first before doing the liver cleanse? Or can I count on the Epsom Salts make sure of this happening?

This is a reply to # 128,876You can be fat and not have cellulite and you can be thin and have cellulite. Toxins are stored in fat...in terms of the cellular structure, I couldn't tell you...but as you clear the toxins you should see improvement in the cellulite. The liver is your primary organ of detoxification and this process occurs in two steps: Phase I & II. In phase I the fat-soluble toxins are converted to intermediaries and in phase II they are made water-soluble so that they can be eliminated. If your liver is not funcitoning properly this conversion is not completed and toxins accumulate. Actually, some of the intermediaries that occur in phase I are more toxic and damaging (including altering DNA!) than the original toxins...and many people are phase I dominant. All the cleanses can help to reduce your toxic load...but the liver does most of the work on a cellular level. The function of the liver and the colon are both essential to detoxification and good health...and, in my opinion, are the most important cleanses.
Cellulite is far more common in women...estrogen-dominance is also a problem for many women and also influenced by the funcitoning of the liver. Connection?...don't know, but possibly.
Dry skin brushing is a great way to reduce cellulite...go to the Bowel Cleanse Archive forum for more info.
Don't wait until your flush to get things moving...do something about it right away so that you feel better. The longer you remain constipated the worse you will feel. The Epsom Salts should definitely have you racing to the loo...but don't wait until then!Advertisement

This is a reply to # 128,869Hi. I am having the same problem recently. From the research I have done, I believe that it is excessive estrogen.
When the liver is congested it cannot process hormones so you end up with excess hormones floating around
in your system. It should get better as the liver is cleaned out.

This is a reply to # 128,863Scarlet,
All the references that I have checked suggest a MUCH lower dose of grapefruit seed extract...at most 15 drops 5 times a day for a therapeutic effect and not as a maintenance dose. I don't know if this could pose a problem for you or not...something to consider.
Also, the problems you describe after eating are not only associated with parasites...they can result from many dysfuncitons of the digestive system. Since Grapefruit-Seed-Extract is extremely bitter, and since bitters can improve digestion...I wonder if that is why the Grapefruit-Seed-Extract helps with your symptoms.
Cutting out all dietary fat is not the answer and can produce some significant problems...you need essential fatty acids and several vitamins are fat-soluble.
Address your constipation and liver congestion and your digestive system should improve.- A Question for PTREE on Herbal Bitte... #97091

This is a reply to # 128,874So if it is something bitter that I need for digestion, what do you suggest I take? I can't even function without my GSE, it seems --it helps so much. But only in the large quantities!
Chinese bitters?
Actually, I just looked in my cupboard right now and found some Metagest herbal bitters.
It has Betaine HCL and Pepsin in it. Also some Gentian root. Might this be helpful to me?
Out of curiosity, Betaine Hydrochloride, Pepsin or Gentian root don't have any fat in them, do they? I am actually prepping for my first liver cleanse this Saturday and am currently attempting to build up some "bile pressure" for the big day!
PTree, thank you so much for all your help.

This is a reply to # 128,911Gentian is very bitter...and great for digestion. The Metagest formula is quite good...as long as you need the extra HCL. If you have any burning or stomach discomfort, you may have enough or too much stomach acid and will need to use a formula that doesn't contain it. Pepsin is a digestive enzyme...there are several. No fat in any of them...
If the Metagest doesn't work for you there are several herbal bitters formulas available at health food stores...and I believe there is a recipe for them...maybe on the Recipe forum. I don't know what is in the Chinese bitters...probably bitter herbs, huh?!- BRING ON THE BITTER!!! #97091

This is a reply to # 128,917Hey PTree!
I tried some Metagest tonight. It helps me a bit, but only if I down over twelve of the little suckers! Still no burning in my tummy. I could easily down a bunch more I think, but I don't want to overdo anything. I gotta work tomorrow!
Am I lacking HCL or what? What does this mean? Is there no bile in my stomache for it to create its own acidic environment? Does this mean my liver is not producing enough bile? Or does bile have nothing to do with the stomache???
I feel like its not enough bitterness for me in the Metagest. Are the things you suggested more intense by any chance? I am Soooo longing for my Grapefruit-Seed-Extract solution, since it works wonders, but I can't because it's a fat and I am prepping for the liver cleanse...!
Bring on the bitter! --Ann.
