Hello - I am replying to your post as best I can. And I've got more thoughts, clues & questions for you :)
====================
""Do you have a juicer? If so what kind? ""
Yes, I have a Breville which is the newest and an old Champion which I do not use. Time to dust off the Champion, the Brevilles (being centrifugal) produce a VERY low quality of juice. More reading so you'll understand how important your Champion is:

--------------------------------------
""you say the pictures were "all red", I assume this means you've been told you have a bleeding ucler. (???) I'm going to continue with that assumption.""
I always get a copy of any tests from doctors, including cd's of the films - well, the report I have was mailed to me from the doctor - it has 5 images on the paper - they appear light red.
The 1st one states under the picture:
Medium hiatal hernia
The 2nd one states: Gastro-esophageal junction
The 3rd one states: Narrow band image
The 4th one states: Ulcers in the stomach body
The 5th one states: Ulcers in the stomach body
Yet nothing about "bleeding ulcer"...hmmm
Then they go on to say:
During the procedure we found the following:
Normal mucosa in the duodenum (biopsy) no blood in the mucosa
Ulcers in the stomach body (biopsy) but not "bleeding ulcer"
Erythema in the antrum compatible with gastritis (biopsy) see below
Medium hiatal hernia that's an easy fix and something most people develop when they've never done any colon cleansing.
Normal mucosa in the esophagus (biopsy and dilation) and no blood in the mucosa of the esophagus either. Otherwise normal EGD to second part of the duodenum For those that don't know, here is the definition of an EGD:
Often called an upper endoscopy, this is a medical test in which a thin, flexible, plastic tube with a tiny camera and light at the end (an endoscope) is slid down the esophagus and perhaps into the stomach, so its inner surfaces can be seen and examined.
This procedure OFTEN result in irritation, harm, rupture and various complications. The camera/light/tubing was shoved through the pyloric sphincter of the lower stomach and pushed all the way to the lower duodenum (this could have impacted the areas where the gallbladder & pancreas at the duodenum). "They" call it a 'simple test', but #34548 has reported his condition worsening since the procedure.
http://curezone.com/upload/_N_Forums/Natural_Heali/stomachDuodenum.jpg
With the correct knowledge, we can heal ourselves simply by discussing the symptoms and applying the cure. There's generally no need for invasive, harmful tests & procedures.
Various (applicable) Definitions of Erythema:
abnormal redness of the skin resulting from dilation of blood vessels (as in sunburn or inflammation)
diffuse or patchy redness of skin, blanching on pressure, due to congestion of cutaneous capillaries.
Redness of the skin caused by blood clogging in small blood vessels.
is a capillary congestion which gives rise to reddened skin.
Erythema is the name given to red skin due to increased blood supply and may be applied to any red coloured dermatosis. Erythema
The "antrum" is:
The portion of the stomach where food collects prior to passage into the small intestine, also contains the acid secreting cells.
the bottom part of the stomach near the pyloric sphincter
Questions: since blood from the esophagus, stomach, and most of the upper intestinal tract usually appears as "coffee grounds" in the fecal mattter, I need to ask if you have you seen any "coffee grounds" or other evidence of blood in your stools recently?
It seems to me, these tests indicate ulceration & a hiatal hernia, but do not indicate bleeding ulcers. Did the doctor TELL you the ulceration was bleeding?
-------------------------------------------
You say: ""Get outside barefoot and in the sun 2x daily for at least 15 minutes per session.""
Well, I live in Florida and was taking vitamin D supplements for some time because I was always too sick to really enjoy the pool here, the sun, etc. Well, for the last two months I have sunned in the pool on a float, 1/2 an hour on each side - I am tanning but my purpose was to really raise my vitamin D from 27 to way up - well I had these blood tests taken about a week ago (I belong to Life Extension - and I have no insurance, but their blood tests are a fraction of what you would pay through a doctor - I hate them all ((doctors)), but that's a long story) and my vitamin D went from 27 to : "Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy 28.8 Low ng/mL 32.0-100.0" - at least it is going up but it is still low and I was thinking of perhaps taking vitamin D supplements again. Please do not add supplements to complicate this picture. The liver & kidneys are responsible for the sythesis of sunlight into Vitamin D...and you are obviously not assimilating/processing nutrients.
Vitamin D as acquired from the diet or produced in the skin is biologically inactive. It must be metabolized by the liver to produce 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. However, this compound is also biologically inactive under physiological circumstances and must be activated by the kidney to produce the final vitamin D hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. This hormonal form of vitamin D plays an essential role in stimulating intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus
, in the mobilization of calcium from bone, and in renal reabsorption of calcium.
Attempting to treat a "symptom" (lack of Vitamin D) by supplementing Vitamin D (especially in a form that is unnatural to the body) may or may NOT succeed at changing the leve of Vitamin D in the bloodstream. But that changes nothing but a test result...it doesn't tell you if the Vitamin D is being properly assimilated and utilized at all. It's like putting a piece of duct tape over the oil light on your dashboard. Oh sure, everything LOOKS okay now, but that doesn' mean the problem is fixed (or that one didn't just make it worse). #34578, please keep getting out in the sun. And we'll start working on your liver & kidneys whenever you're ready.
--------------------------------------------------------
Briefly, I have been on bio-identical hormones on and off for several years - my levels were so very low, of course. Yet another situation of not addressing the CAUSE of the symptoms. I had an EXTREME hormone imbalance in my early 40s (and horrendous menopausal symptoms). It ALL disappeared after ONE colon cleanse. Why? because the sigmoid colon wraps directly around the uterus & ovaries and when even the slightest bit swollen, squeezes them 'out of function'. My "test" would have shown I needed hormones, but what I needed was to UNsquish my uterus & ovaries. Had I plowed my body/bloodstream with hormones it did NOT need from a source that is NOT natural, I would have done a LOT of harm (even though...I may have bandaided the symptoms, with that piece of duct tape over the oil light).
And I have been taking Hydrocortisone (which is a hormone) for adrenal fatigue - I also take Armour thyroid and have a phone consult appointment with my doc in Colorado tomorrow. She started in conventional medicine/research but has gone over to alternative. ***
Oh, you didn't mention Hydrocortisone before. Hydrocortisone can easily cause ulcers.
Hydrocortisone makes your stomach and intestines more susceptible to the irritating effects of alcohol, aspirin, and certain arthritis medications. This effect increases your risk of ulcers.
Your doctor may tell you to use an antacid between meals to protect your stomach from getting an ulcer.
Other common side effects: Itching or hives, swelling in your face or hands, swelling or tingling in your mouth or throat, chest tightness, trouble breathing. Bloody or black, tarry stools. Coughing up blood, or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. Dry mouth, increased thirst, muscle cramps, nausea or vomiting. Gaining weight around your neck, upper back, breast, face, or waist. Pain in a joint or tendon,such as your wrist, elbow, or ankle. Shortness of breath, cold sweat, and bluish-colored skin. Swelling in your hands, ankles, or feet. Unusual bruising. Unusual thoughts, feelings, or behavior.
*** As hundreds/thousands of people on CZ have learned (as well as a large percentage on this forum) "alternative medicine" is generally no more healing than allopathic...they just use band-aids that are a bit less toxic (but many times just as disruptive to the body). The term "alternative medicine" has it root is the phrase "Complementary Alternative Medicine"...that is, medicine that is designed to complement allopathic medicine.
I don't know how deep your knowledge is regarding 'conspiracy realities', but most CZers have at least some knowlege. So put what knowledge you have into this thought: The greatest and most successful healers of all times have been persecuted, arrested, jailed and harrassed. That's because their methodology and works were a THREAT to allopathic medicine, profit and the plans of the Posers That Be. Yet we are freely able to go to "alternative practicioners" and they are not persecuted in any way. Why is that? Because alternative medicine is NOT a threat. People don't get healed and experience vibrant health from taking supplements, they just end up with 16 bottles of supplements instead of 16 bottles of pharmaceuticals...but they end up even more 'broke' because insurance won't pay for the supplements. Speaking of which, if supplements worked and saved the insurance companies money? Insurance companies would pay for supplements!
I have been following alternative medicine for years but never follow through with my protocols - Thank heavens you haven't followed through with 'alternative medicine', you might be worse! I certainly hope someone informed you that Hydrocortisone is brutally addictive, and it stops your adrenals from working. Hence one must wean off of it VERY slowly, because your adrenals that were simply "stressed" or "exhausted" before, are now virtually non-functioning
and of course if you do not integrate or keep up with anything, you will never see results. You wouldn't have liked the result in keeping up with a more stringent regime of supplements, tests and 'bandaiding. I think also there might be a parasite problem but I will not bore you with the details of why I think this. It is too lengthy, right now, to explain.Virtually everybody has a parasite problem. Many cultures de-worm themselves regularly...but Americans only de-worm their pets & livestock :( On our doctors are DISMAL when it comes to parasites.
Also, I am not vegan but vegetarian - however, in the last few months I have had a desire for meat but will only eat the grass fed, organic chopped sirloin from Whole Foods a few times a month. There are those that keep pushing me to eat meat saying that is why I am sick and then you look at the millions of vegetarians all around the world including here in the U.S. who are perfectly healthy. You are likely sick for a variety of reasons (as I'm sure you're starting to understand). In a nutshell, our bodies are as intricate and supercharged as a Ferrari or the Space Shuttle, and due to our toxic planet, lifestyles and horribly disrupting stress & EMFs, our organs have been running at top speed, 24 hours a day for DECADES...without the SLIGHTEST bit of regular maintenance. Our bodies have the programmed schematics and ability to heal themselves (IF we are willing to do the work it takes to get them back to the point that those healing schematics are able to kick-in...by cleansing/restoring ALL the organs, detoxifying and giving our body the energy it needs to heal itself via juice fasting and superfoods...while using the NATURAL herbal remedies that do NOT disrupt natural homestasis and push the body further away from it's ability to restore itself). True healing doesn't come out of a bottle (it never EVER did). Healing is an action word :)
And, I have had colonics over the years as recently as one month ago but cannot afford them anymore. I also had a couple of tests run by Genova Labs for heavy metals and was shocked at how high some metals like cadmium were in my body. I followed with quite a few chelation treatments which brought their levels down but not completely. Cannot have any more treatments - cannot afford them any more. You don't need to have expensive colonics, nor do you EVER have to have body/kidney/liver stressing chelation to rid yourself of heavy metals and toxins. You need a a safe, organized, logical 'system overhaul' and to do the maintenace that should have been done for decades. The miracle? That no matter how long or how bad the symptoms, the healing schematics in our body will ALWAYS work. But it's necessary to have an organized system, and it's crucial to do our best to do as much as we can, all at the same time (that way the results and energy come to us MUCH faster). The following is from another post:
Doing one cleanse at a time, can sometimes work against you. Think of it like restoring an automobile that's been driven hard & fast for 20 years without much regular maintenance. The exhaust is clogged, the fuel lines are filthy, the oil/filter needs changed, the carburetor needs calibrated and cleaned, sparks & plugs changed & gapped, alternator fixed/adjusted; overall suspension aligned; new tires needed, brake pads replaced., etc. If you cleanse the exhaust & fuel lines (similar to the colon & parasite) before cleansing the oil/filter and carb (liver & parasites), you end up filthy fuel lines and clogged exhaust before you get the carb/oil/filter done. New tires & brake pads before an alignment? A waste of new tires/brake pads. If the alternative is 'shorting or weak' that stresses all the system parts. The human body is no different. It's always much more effective to 'put it up on blocks' and do a full body cleanse/restore, than it is to do it one at a time. Yep, it's more work, but it's FAR more effective (and you'll get MUCH more life out of the car by doing it that way). Remember: in this toxic/poisoned world, our bodies are like high-performance automobiles CONSTANTLY in overdrive (generally running on VERY low grade fuel with extremely little maintenance). There's no truly safe/healthy protocol (maintenance) we can do, that's as extreme as the totally unnatural conditions we live in.
As for juicing, it is very tiresome when you are already fatigued but, I will do my best. Now that you've given me more information, it's obvious that we have a LOT more work to do that just healing a bleeding ulcer (if there even is one). Juicing will be a great help to you, but it's FAR from "the answer". You're going to need to start cleansing & healing your organs (all of them, but ESPECIALLY your colon & digestive tract), start weaning off the Hydrocortisone and get yourself a LOT more information...so that you can get EXCITED & MOTIVATED to heal yourself. You CAN do it...there are a LOT of people on this forum that will be right here doing it with you (and supporting you). Whenever you're ready for that information, let me know. I've got some videos you can buy/watch (and there's some online)...and you can ask ALL the questions you want (and take as much time as you need to 'get your ducks in a row') IF you decide to heal yourself naturally.
Sorry for the lengthy post but I wanted to fill you in with as much info as I could. I appreciate the information - it made everything MUCH more clear.
Thank you - I will have to read all those links at some other time - I have copied them into a file and will read them one at a time. You're more than welcome! And I want you to know...I did not tell you all this to discourage you (although when one is weak & "sick & tired", it's likely discouraging). The reason I told you this is so that you can start to believe that you CAN have vibrant health once again, and do & be ANYTHING that you want to be. This program is based on the works of two natural healers that successfully cured THE most insidious and advanced incurable diseases CONSISTENTLY. It will heal anything and anybody!!
Blessings aplenty - Unyquity
Hi Uny (I see that is how you are addressed): Uny, Unyquity, "hey you" - I respond to 'most anything :)
Well, again thank you for all the input. You're welcome
I did read a few of the links on the cayenne and have been taking it for about 4 days now and I truly see a difference in the pain I hope you've stopped taking capsules (they are not NEARLY as effective), and that you're sure the cayenne you're taking is organic. Non-organic herbs are grown in third-world countries and generally doused with DDT and other pesticides, then redoused with MORE pesticides (and possibly irradiated) when they hit our customs docks...that's around 95% of ALL herbs on the market in the US. Our alternative world is just as bastardized as the allopathic world. The last thing on earth you want to do is stuff your stomach with an herb that's laden with carcinogens! that has been in my stomach since that idiot doctor did the endoscopy - sorry, but my hatred for the medical profession in this country is something borne from experience, family experience and death and much more!!!!!!! It will never change. That's perfectly alright; "they" destroyed my mother with psych-drugs (and left her alive to live in sheer hell & misery). I'm none too fond of them myself!
Anyway, I think it is important to know that I am a female who is 59 years old. I did buy a huge bag of carrots and beets at Whole Foods GREAT! - It will take me a little bit to organize and implement a true program from morning to bedtime, because I am trying to get my fatigue taken care of but, I WILL DO IT - I am a very stubborn Taurus and do not give up easily once I put my mind to something. Wow, a stubborn Taurus...now THAT's someone that WILL "get 'er done"! Good for you. It'll be great to get your "true program" decided upon and worked out.
I wish I could show you the five photos on the photocopy of the results that werre given to me but, over the years, I have done more reading than posting on CZ and so don't know if it can be done. I don't need to see the pictures, what the doc reported is clear enough.
I do want to mention also that my stomach becomes so quickly full and bloated when I eat even just a little and I cannot eat any more - I should be half the weight I am considering what I eat but it will happen. I guess that is the gastritis? I don't think so (well, the gastitis is a symptom) - that's likely the hydrocortisone and the fact that you desperately need a seriously thorough colon cleanse. It's normal to have 3-5 bowel movements daily...and the fact that you have a hiatal hernia and all kinds of various/nagging symptoms is indicative of the "main tubing" being toxically slugglish and impacted. The key to health really IS a health colon. Every time you've eaten ANYthing with a toxin in it, a very thin layer of mucous was made by your intestinal tract to capture the the poison so it wouldn't assimilate. That'd be great IF we were pooping 5x a day (like every other animal in nature that lives in the wild), but our colon is compromised from the minute we started on solid food (which is when we STOPPED having 5 bms a day and generally went to one a day or less). So all those captured poisons and mucous build-up in the colon, constricting all the tubing (and all that putrefying, acid, toxin-laden junk) gives off LOTS of gas...putting UPward pressure on all the tubing on top of it (that's basically what causes bloating and hiatal hernias). But the worse thing? Every bit of food and water that gets assimilate has to soak through all that putrefying poisonous filth before it assimilates...hence one assimilates VERY little of what they eat, and everything they eat actually poisons their body. And all that's assimilated heads DIRECTLY to the liver (so it burdens the liver too).
Also, my vitamin D (hydroxy 25) in November of 2008 was upwards of 38 (and that was taking 5,000 units of vitamin D3 a day) - I subsequently stopped, preferring to get the D3 from the sun instead and like I said, was shocked to see that even with every day in the sun for 2 months, it WENT DOWN - but DID go up from 27 which was a test done in January 2009 to the current 28.8. We can change the results on ANY test by taking unnatural drugs or unnatural supplements (there's nothing natural about synthetic vitamin D supplements, sorry). If one takes insulin, it changes the blood sugar levels...but it does NOT heal the pancreas, nor does it stop one from developing EVERY symptom and horrendous result of diabetes. All it's doing is changing the level of Vitamin D in your bloodstream....that doesn't mean you won't have symptoms of a lack of Vitamin D. The same is true of changing your hormone levels with Hydrocortisone ...it doesn't heal your adrenal issues (it just slaps a big ole piece of duct tape over the symptoms...and ALWAYS makes the situation worse that it was). Like I mentioned, IF your kidneys & liver were fully functioning, the sunlight (especially in TX) would provide you ample Vitamin D. That the sunlight didn't raise your blood level indicates your liver & kidneys are compromised...it doesn't mean you need a supplement (but that's what the scamming b*stards in "alternative medicine" want you to believe). It sells millions of dollars of supplements, but it doesn't heal ANYbody.
----------------------------------
You ask: Questions: since blood from the esophagus, stomach, and most of the upper intestinal tract usually appears as "coffee grounds" in the fecal mattter, I need to ask if you have you seen any "coffee grounds" or other evidence of blood in your stools recently?
I always check the toilet after having a BM - well, I cannot honestly say I have seen anything like coffe grounds before however, several weeks ago I had a tough BM and when I finished I looked and was shocked to see at the edge of all the fecal matter (which was not formed because I take vitamin c and some Ionic Fizz to have BM's) I saw a clot of blood that was about 1 inch in diameter and very bright red blood. I was shocked and when I used the paper again did not find blood either from the recturm or vaginal. I took a photo and discussed it with my doctor yesterday on the phone - she thinks it is a hemmoroidal (sp?) tear which it might very well be. Then about several days later another blood clot appeared after a BM but this one was smaller and not bright red but rather a muted red. Blood that looks like blood is from the lower intestines or colon. Blood from your upper GI or stomach looks like coffee grounds.
--------------------------------
You say: Hydrocortisone makes your stomach and intestines more susceptible to the irritating effects of alcohol, aspirin, and certain arthritis medications. This effect increases your risk of ulcers. That was a quote from a pharmceutical website (drugs.com, if I remember right) - 'sorry I didn't note that.
I do NOT take drugs either by prescription or over the counter other than my Armour Thyroid, a necessary blood pressure pill until I can get my BP to normal, and the hydrocortisone which is not a drug but rather a hormone. 'Sorry to be the one to have to tell you, but hydrocortisone most definitely IS a "drug" :( :( :(
A drug used to relieve the symptoms of certain hormone shortages and to suppress an immune response.
www.mdanderson.org/patients_public/about_cancer/display.cfm (from another website: Hydrocortisone requires a prescription, and is sold under the brand name Cortef, as well as the generic names such as “Hydrocortone”) It's not a 'natural' hormone; it's a synthetic copy AND it's a steroid...it's very dangerous and I already listed all the major side effects...including causing stomach ulcers. You've been lied to if you've been told it's a simple, natural hormone. Read through this to see all the horrendous effects it has on the body as a whole: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortisol (My cousin is an RN and her husband is a pharmacist :) Also, I am not a drinker, just a rare bottle of beer or glass of red wine, but not a lover of alchohol - just socially. Moderation is ALWAYS the key.
However, I used to take a big strength of aspirin every day, as they constatnly tell you, for protection of the heart - I did this for several years but stopped around the beginning of 2007. I am sure this aspirin every day did damage. Your stomach would have repaired itself from aspirin damage LONG before now (if your body was in a good state of health)
----------------------------------------
You say: Your doctor may tell you to use an antacid between meals to protect your stomach from getting an ulcer.
I have never taken antacids in my life and never will! That's great - but they likely would have prevented you from developing ulcers from the HC (hydrocortisone).
-------------------------------------------
Lastly, I was never told by the doctor that I had " bleeding ulcers " because I never went back for a subsequent follow-up visit as requested, as the endoscopy. Reason for this was that prior to going for the endoscopy I called twice and asked how much it would cost because I had no insurance and had to know the cost. Well, both times they quoted me a reasonble figure which I could pay.
After the endoscopy, I started getting bills for 5 times the amount originall told and which I paid immediately on my visit for the endoscopy. Well,, I have made a thousand phone calls and refuse to pay what they are now asking for. She proceeds to tell me that the amount I paid, which is what they quoted me, was for, (in her words "verbatum") the procedure - then she went on to explain "being put on the gurney for the procedure"...
Can you believe this??? What I would like to express I cannot on this forum - it would be deleted but I think you understand .Yes, I fully understand...one of the reasons I have this forum is to enlighten folks to the evils of allopathic and alternative medicine. So, I never had a follow-up and thus we are assuming the bleeding has to be from the stomach. Hmmm, but your report said nothing about bleeding, it did say you had an inflammation that presents itself as red tissue, and you report no evidence of upper GI blood in your stools.
-----------------
OK - I guess that's it for now - I will start my juicing tomorrow - I read on one of Dr. Schultz's papers about a woman in ICU who was told she needed a blood transfusion but did not want one - she asked for 24 hours - Dr. Schulz juiced carrots, beets and I think something else for her - took the containers to the hospital where she was and had her drink all the juices he had made for her all day long into the night. Then, he states, that the next day her hemoglobin came back sky high, higher than a man's. That's correct! And I think you will feel much better when you start juicing beets & carrots (assuming you can assimilate the nutrition). Just so you know, having studied Dr. Schulze the way I have, he liked put several tablespoons of Superfood in every jar of that juice, too! (maybe not, but it's definitely likely). You just get that ole Champion dusted off (so you can get all the nutrition and enzymes for all the trouble you're going to) and you'll likely be feeling a bit more energetic real soon. (Dr. Schulze uses a Champion, too).
I will sign off for now and am willing to start cleansing - I will follow your guidance - again, I so much appreciate all your help. Just let me know when you're ready to order what you need, and I'll get you a list of things I think you need and we'll take it from there. You're more than welcome.
And, by the way, what's with the "sarcastic" remark to me from "healingwithhishands" or whatever that name is.? My god, is that really necessary? It certainly makes you hesitate to post anything. I'm sure it's one of those "computer monitor cyber things" :( healinginhisWings is lady (about your age) that I would call "an innocent". She's not jaded or sarcastic in any way, and one of the most sincere people I know. She was likely just trying to indicate it was sweet of you to be so kind & appreciative. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think she has a sarcastic bone in her body.
Blankets of blessings, AK...HEAL ON!
Unyquity
'Sorry for the delay (you can betcha, it hasn't been my fault...grrrr ).
Okee, dokee - listed below is "basically" the full 30 day program...but this is 'barebones' - it will need to be customized specifically for you and whatever issues you have (that maybe I don't know of yet). I realize you'll likely have a lot of questions, so I always offer folks one personal phone call to get everything straight (even if that takes a few hours )...so perhaps it'll be easier to do the 'customizing' once we've had a chance to talk. I've added 'customization' for you based on what I know already in red.
First, unless you feel you are dependent upon (as in, you might feel withdrawal symptoms, or you know you feel horrible if/when you stop taking it)...any type of supplement that's a synthetic, an isolated substance away from it's natural plant, a 'standardized extract' or anything that's not 100% natural and organic...tighten the lid and set 'em aside (and start thinking about who you want to give them to). There are no substances/supplements allowed on this program (unless they are 'complete foods') - no rock based minerals either (especially not calcium!)
Here is the basic protocol that everyone does for the first 30 days. It's known as the Incurables Program...but you don't have to have an "incurable disease" to do it - it should be called the "get yourself healthy from absolutely anything" program :) You will find almost all of the things you need in the Herbal Apothecary link at the top of every forum page.
30 days solid of colon cleansing and digestive tract healing. You will using the products known as Intestinal Formula #1 (IF#1 herbs that 'make you go', if you need them), and Intestinal Formula #2 (IF#2, a fiber blend containing herbs that provide fiber/bulk, herbs that soothe & heal the intestinal tract, and bentonite clay & activated charcoal that will adsorb toxins as they are being released, and toxins/poisons from your bloodstream). Here are the ingredients and how you will do it: http://curezone.com/schulze/handbook/intestinal.asp#1
--Diet: You will be juice fasting (be sure you read the juice fasting link [posted before] so that you can understand why), for the full 30 days of the program, or for as long/often as you can.
Jucing in canning jars...http://curezone.com/foods/juices.html
(above is a MUCH easier way to juice/fast than trying to juice for every meal/day - you can juice up to THREE days worth of juice in advance by using the 'canning jar' method. It's what we ALWAYS do).
You may have all the Potassium Broth http://healingtools.tripod.com/thn8.html#potbroth
(or similar recipe) that you would like, and specific herbal teas for your condition (or just because you like/want them). Your goal is a gallon of juice, plus potassium broth and herbal tea daily (few people can ingest a gallon of juice daily, but that is the goal). All water will be either distilled or RO filtered. When not juice fasting your diet will be STRICTLY vegan and as much raw food as possible. Absolutely NO:
white sugar, white flour, coffee, tea (green or black), processed food of any kind or unhealthy oils. NO microwaved food or water.
--You will also be removing and replacing all toxic cleansers and personal hygiene products, with healthy natural products. This can be done in 'one fell swoop' by using Miracle II products. I have a source for THE best prices available anywhere. If you're interested, here's the link:
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1410447#i
--Nutrition and 'fuel' for your body to heal - Superfood. 6 Tablespoons daily when in 'healing mode' (2-4 Tablespoons daily for 'normal life'). Each 14 oz baggie of Superfood provides 2 Tablespoons daily for 30 days, so you will need 3 baggies. When juice-fasting or vegan eating, you will choose Superfood Original (not Special Blend)
The typical way to make/take this: mix as many tablespoons as you want into each 'smoothie' and add 8 oz of juice, 8 oz of water, 1 piece of fruit and a bit of ice (if you'd like), blend and drink.
--10 days each month you will be kidney cleansing (two 5 Day Cleanses). You will need the 10 Day Kidney Cleanse Package for this, and here is basically how you do it: http://curezone.com/schulze/herbal_5day_kidney_cleanse.asp
(the words "tonic" & "tincture" are interchangeable - and the diet recommended does not have to be followed 'to the letter' - besides you'll be juice fasting)
--12-14 days each month you will be liver cleansing, healing & flushing. You will need the 10 Day Liver Cleanse Package for this (you *can* choose either package...the one with Blood DeTox Tincture or without the Blood DeTox Tincture). The Blood Detox tincture is not essential towards cleansing your liver, but it is a very strong 'help' to keep your blood clean and support your organs while you are cleansing). You will be doing two Five Day Liver cleanses (which work as a "prep"), followed by a full liver flush on the 6th or 7th day. Here are the ingredients for the 5 Day Liver cleanse and how you do it: http://curezone.com/schulze/herbal_5day_liver_cleanse.asp
And here is a chapter on Cleansing Your Liver from Dr. Schulze (that tells his way to do the 'big flush'). When you get to this stage, please post and let me/us know, and we'll tell you of other possible ways (and tips) to do the 'big/full flush'): http://curezone.com/upload/_N_Forums/Natural_Heali/SYL_CleansingTheLiver_Sect...
Here are the ingredients & action of the Blood DeTox Tincture: http://healingtools.tripod.com/detoxform.html
--You have the option of using the Blood DeTox Tincture for 2 weeks (which you would get with the 10 Day Liver Cleanse package) and the Echinacea Tincture for the other two weeks OR using the Echinacea Tincture for the full 30 days. I highly suggest you use the Blood DeTox Tincture for 14 days and the Echinacea Tincture for the full 30 days, but the choice is yours. Echinacea is THE strongest immune-system bolstering herb on the planet, and combined with the raw garlic cloves you will be taking daily, it will likely obliterate any deep-seated infection issues you have.
--30 day of Parasite cleansing
--Daily CalciumTincture
--Daily Black Walnut Hull Tincture
--Dr. Christopher required daily BF&C and B&B, but Dr. Schulze did not (BF&C is for "rebuilding"; B&B is for any/all things "neurological")
--Daily St. John's Wort Tincture (highly suggested for mood stabilization)
--Daily Nerve Sedative Tincture (or other herbal calmer/sedative, to "take the edge off", relieve stress, and ensure a sound sleep)
--Raw/organic Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 tablespoon, 3x daily
--Organic Blackstrap Molasses (or local raw honey), 1 tablespoon, 3x daily (mixed with Apple cider Vinegar) The Blackstrap Molasses is MUCH higher in minerals
--Therapeutic hot Cayenne Powder and/or tincture. You will work up to 3 teaspoons daily of the Cayenne powder (starting at 1/8 teaspoon 3x daily and working up). The tincture is not necessary, but it's MUCH easier to acclimate to this 'top hot' grade of Cayenne with the tincture. The tincture is also good for many emergency purposes (the powder works just as well for emergency purposes, but it's easier to carry around and/or dose with the tincture).
In a nutshell, cayenne regulates the circulation of blood throughout the body, as well as regulating blood pressure (if bp is low, cayenne will raise it; if bp is high, cayenne will lower it). Ensuring adequate circulation of blood throughout the body is essential to healing. Cayenne powder is also a very effective antiparasitical, and it increases peristalsis.
Cayenne also stops bleeding (any kind/any where), stops heart attacks & strokes, heals bleeding ulcers...it also relieves anxiety!
--Speaking of circulation, you will be doing 1-3 hot/cold showers daily (plus hot/cold therapy to any specific body part or organ that is malfunctioning). A hot/cold shower starts on hot (as hot as you can stand it) for two minutes, then you totally turn off the hot water and do cold for one minute - then alternate between hot & cold 5-6 times, and end on hot. This will vastly improve circulation and 'flow' throughout the body (including emotional flow, lol).
--Raw Garlic 3-5 raw cloves of garlic daily MINIMUM. This can be chewed (ack! my hubby Rocky53 can actually do this! ylech), or chopped finely and mixed with juice. Another poster (Tierra) found it was easiest for her to get down by adding it to coconut oil. Whatever works for ya - just get it in!
Garlic is THE strongest antibacterial-viral-fungal & parasite killer in the natural kingdom. It's benefits are countless (it always strengthens the heart, cleanses the arteries and regulates blood sugar)
NOTE: regarding the Cayenne, Garlic, Parasite formula, Apple Cider Vinegar and Blackstrap/Honey...it is MUCH simpler (rather than trying to take them all separately) to just put them all together and take them all at once. We call this the "ACV Bomb", and it should be taken before every meal. It is also more therapeutic to take them all together.
--Castor oil packs over the liver (or other areas where there is damage or congestion that need healing)...nightly: source http://shop.caycecures.com/castoroiltherapy.aspx
You need either the organic/cold pressed, or hexane-free cold pressed castor oil, and a 100% natural fiber cloth (and a heating pad or hot water bottle, or other way to apply heat)
--Coffee Enemas, daily. You will want S.A. Wilsons Organic Coffee designed especially for Coffee Enemas, and you can get the perfect enema BUCKET kit (not hard to fill/clean bag) for only $6. http://www.sawilsons.com/
Here is the most comprehensive "coffee enema library" on the 'net (for your reading & learning):
http://www.sawilsons.com/library.htm
In a nutshell, coffee enemas cleanse the liver, remove free radicals from the bloodstream (hence restoring energy and allowing the body to heal faster), and they are EXTREMELY beneficial for pain relief. Coffee enemas are NOT for cleaning the colon (although they do increase peristalsis...the muscular, squeezing action of the intestinal tract).
--High enemas are recommended every two days - after the high enema you can "implant" herbal tea, wheat grass juice, or something like aloe gel...anything your body needs to help heal and/or detoxify. Here's what a high enema is, and how you do it: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1405781#i
--The Cold Sheet Treatment :::insert scary organ music here::: lol. http://web.archive.org/web/20061115072256/healingtools.tripod.com/thn10.html
This is to be done weekly, but many people will not do it or try it. It's purpose is to induce a fever as well as being a STRONG detoxification process. When we have a fever, our immune system/cells go 10x faster and stronger for every degree the temperature raises. This 'induced fever' and the bolstered immune system, will work to correct and heal what only IT knows is wrong and what pathogen or invader it needs to destroy. Dr. Schulze/Christopher would tell you, you HAVE to do it - I will tell you...you're cheating yourself if you don't do it, but I understand why people don't want to do/try it.
If you plan on doing the Cold Sheet Treatment, you will need a 2 oz bottle of Cayenne tincture and a 2 oz bottle of Lobelia tincture, plus the Cold Sheet bath herbs and the Cold Sheet tea.
--Skin brushing - daily (with a natural fiber brush)
--Exercise - no matter what your condition, you will exercise until you either sweat or pant 3x daily. If this takes only 2 minutes, then that's what you do. Lots of stretching, walking, and just MOVING are essential to health and life
--Deep breathing - for at least 15 minutes a day (if not 3+x daily) do extremely deep breathing. There are zillions of methods for this, but all that's important is that you breath so deeply that it hurts! Be sure NOT to raise/elevate your shoulders, but draw the air deeply into your lungs and "gut". We can live months without food, days without water, but only minutes without oxygen. Back in the 1970's, the level of oxygen in the air was 30+%. Now it's estimated to be 18% in the country and only 12% in the city. Want your body to heal? BREATH DEEPLY OFTEN :)
--Barefootin'!!! Daily our bodies are PLOWED with very toxic frequencies of various kinds. Our bodies are basically electrical machines, and these frequencies can be extremely harmful. The earth is a natural 'ground', and when we put our barefeet (or socked feet) on the earth, the earth WILL pull out these toxic frequencies (which play havoc with our bodies, sleep rhythms/patterns, emotional state and stress). 15 minutes daily (at the minimum) absolutely NO exception.
--Sunbathing/Heliotherapy - The goal is an hour a day (working up to that for the fair skinned), completely naked. The sun is an incredible healer and source of Vitamin D. Do your best for 'completely naked' :)
Just like each individual organ and system of our body is dependent on the health of every other organ & system of our body, our 'trinity self' is also co-dependent. Our emotional & spiritual health also impact the health of our body (just as the health of our body impacts our emotional & spiritual health).
You will want to be implementing (or eliminating) as much of these things as you can:
--EFT http://emofree.com/
(if you've never heard of this, please watch the video on the home page)
--DITCH the television - it's negative and radiates horrible amounts of toxic EMFs - replace it LIVING.
--"Trashing", while you're cleansing your body, clean out the emotional garbage in your home. We all have things that are trashing the house (that we haven't touched in years) and some that everytime we look at them, is a total downer. TRASH THEM ALL!
--Relaxation - do absolutely NOTHING - relaxation isn't playing video games or doing hobbies or watching TV, it's doing NOTHING. It's feels great to do nothing, do some of it :)
--Express yourself - not your fake self, but YOURself
--Positive Affirmations
--LAUGH!!! LOVE!!! PLAY LIKE A CHILD!!! Remember what it's like to FEEL emotion and then let it out.
--If you've got a partner that you enjoy, then have more sex!
--Reach out and help someone. --Forgive someone (and yourself) every day
--No matter what your Belief System, reach 'outside the box' and spend some time each day drawing closer to The Spirit that animates your body and is the core of your life.
--REJOICE and Love Life. Our bodies are the ONLY machine on the planet that can be totally abused by all the horrendously 'wrong fuel', lack of maintenance, and TOTALLY unnatural and toxic/poison environment and still be functioning. It's a MIRACLE that with only a few months worth of effort, we can restore our bodies to total health. Healing is a JOY, not a pain in the butt. CELEBRATE LIFE.
--Dr. Christopher started each day by opening the window/door, looking out (or going out) and shouting, "It's WONDERFUL to be ALIVE!". I highly suggest we follow the great doc's fine example. Seriously, try it! You'll be AMAZED with how it makes you feel
--As both of you are likely aware, I have not yet had a chance to compile every persnickety detail of this program, so there may be some tiny things missing from this post - but this is the basics, and more than enough to get you started on the road to restoring yourself to vibrant health.
This program (the IP by Dr. Schulze) was originally offered as 12 VHS Videos & a 650 page manual. It retailed for around $400. It can occasionally be found on eBay (but generally without the manual, and the manual is 'where the meat is'), but it has also been burned onto DVD with the manual burned onto CD. If you'd like me to help you locate a set, then please email me: unyquity@pcsia.net
Dr. Schulze's "Natural Healing Crusade" videos are available online. Watching them would be of GREAT benefit to your health and healing. Here's a post that tells you where they are: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1394438#i
Product list (for easier ordering):
For daily coffee enemas, 2 pounds of S.A. Wilson's ground organic coffee (and an enema bucket kit): S.A. Wilson's Enema coffee for coffee enemas
Castor Oil (and 100% natural fiber cloth), for castor oil packs: Castor Oil Therapy
In our Storefront (under Complete Packages) 30 days of IP: http://marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com/StoreFrontProfiles/DeluxeSFItemD...
Separately:
--under "Other Formulas"
1 IF#1 Capsules (100) you may need more, depending upon how many daily you need to take to achieve 3 bms daily.
1 8 oz Cayenne/Capsicum Powder (work up to 1 teaspoon, 3x daily)
1 Kidney Stone/Inorganic Calcium Flush (recommended during one of the Kidney Cleanses)
2 8oz Bottles of Parasite Blend
1 IF#2 "30 Day's Worth" (ground flax seed or whole flax seed, your choice) NOTE: this contains activated charcoal & bentonite clay - it will adsorb a small percentage of the Armour & Hydrocortisone...so you want to take your pharmaceuticals an hour away from every dose of IF#2. During this program is a good time to start weaning off both of them (if you want to). You will NEVER be able to restore your adrenals as long as you are on Hydrocortisone - every day you are on it, it makes them weaker and weaker :(
3 Superfood (Original) 3 = 6 tablespoons daily
When doing the Cold Sheet Treatment you will need:
1 - Cold Sheet Tea for every bath (add your own fresh Ginger root)
1 - Cold Sheet Bath Herbs for every bath (OR another 4oz Cayenne Capsicum Powder, and use your own ground/hot brown mustard seed). Either way you will add your own fresh Ginger root
If doing the Cold Sheet Treatment, you will need 1 2oz bottle of Cayenne Tincture #1 or #2 (#2 is even hotter yet) and 1 2oz bottle of Lobelia Tincture
under "Specific Cleanses/Packages"
1 10 day Kidney Cleanse
1 10 day Liver Cleanse (with or without the Blood Detox)
under "Tinctures"
1 4oz of Cayenne Tincture (optional for some if using the powder)
2 4oz bottles of Echinacea tincture
2 4oz bottles of Black Walnut Hull Tincture
6oz of Calcium Tincture (I suggest upping it to 2, 4oz bottles, but you can get by with just 6oz)
under "Single Herbs/Items"
1/2 pound of Bentonite Clay
1/2 pound of Activated Charcoal
1/2 pound of Slippery Elm Bark powder
Customized for you:
Daily Slippery Elm Porridge/Gruel - you can have up to 3 cups (this is to heal your stomach ulcers, sooth your stomach & digestive tract, give you extra nourishment, and to assist with parasites. Here's how you make it: http://healingtools.tripod.com/slpelmgrl.html
(much better tasting if you substitute apple juice --or some other kind of juice-- for the water). If you want to have 1 cup a day (1 tablespoon of Slippery Elm powder for each cup), you'll need a little over 1/4 pound (we have it in our Storefront under "Single Herbs-Items" in 1/2 pound & 1 pound quantities). If you'll be having 3 cups daily, you'll want the 1 pound size. Slippery Elm is good for a million different things - so it's a "must have" for all of our herbal 'medicine chests'.
Parasites - While cayenne & garlic are very good for parasites, if you know you have symptoms of an infestation, it's good to 'hit them harder' (especially while doing this 30 day healing protocol). In our Storefront, under "Other Formulas", you will find 8oz bottles of our Parasite product (aka 'UnyWorm'). You will need 2 8oz bottles, and that is enough for 1 tablespoon daily (1 teaspoon 3x daily). This is a 'starting dose'
Activated Charcoal Powder - Because you live in such a toxic state (I'm SO sorry about your precious kitty!), and because you've never a done any "deep cleansing", you'll feel MUCH better during all of this if you add something to adsorb the vast amount of toxins you'll be releasing. So I suggest you add one teaspoon of Activated charcoal to each of your five daily doses of IF#2. 1/2# will be more than enough - it's in our Storefront under "Single Herbs-Items". HOWEVER, adding more activated charcoal WILL adsorb more of the two pharmaceuticals you are on - so if you decide to do this, be prepared to feel a "cut" in dosage. (of course, this is a great way to start weaning yourself off of them...but I'm not clear whether or not you want to do that).
Ashwagandha Root Powder - if you do want to get off the Hydrocortisone and start healing your adrenals, this is the best time to get started. If you do want to start weaning off, you want to order 1# of organic Ashwagandha Root powder from Mountain Rose (2nd link below), and start taking 1 tablespoonful (with juice) 3x daily. Here's some links so you can understand just HOW beneficial it is for your adrenals (and for weaning off Hydrocortisone). Ashwagandha is also VERY good for thyroid health:

http://intelegen.com/nutrients/stress_cortisol.htm
Blackstrap Molasses - for iron & minerals (you supply) 1-3 tablespoons daily (can be added to Superfood)
Yellow Dock Tea - for a STRONG, easy assimilated source of iron. 3-5 cups daily (1 teaspoon of herbs to 8 oz of distilled water). In our Storefront under "Miscellaneous" choose (qty 1) $15 (and put in the 'note' section, this is for 1/2 pound of Yellow Dock root.
