Please help with my brother's very c...

† Cross †
First post here. The following is pretty long but please read through it as it may save my brother’s life! (He had a suicide attempt last year and is again suicidal due to the gut symptoms).
His problems started 12 years ago with chronic constipation. He did everything imaginable to no avail. 5 years later he developed anxiety/panic disorder. We finally found the “nutritional medicine” route earlier this year.His current chronic symptoms are:
Gut: Constipation / extreme painfull heaviness after small amounts of food...this is the most severe symptom! It literally is preventing him from eating!
Brain: Anxiety, panic disorder / extreme racing mind / jumbled thoughts / foggy brain / no concentration / poor memory (this could be from past ECT treatment)
Body: chronic fatigue (very debilitating!!) / headaches that radiates to the face / shortness of breath (no asthma).
Inflammation: plantar fasciitis in both feet / epididimytis / mid-thoracic / acne.
The following has been revealed:
- Fecal microbial analysis (CDSA): Dysbiosis - strep and clostridium overgrowth / no e.coli / no lacto / low concentration of bifido. No candida.- 3 day stool parasitology: showed no parasites (inc. B.hominis and D.Fragilis).
- Functional liver detox profile: phase 2 detox is sluggish (this showed up on liver detox profile and live blood analysis)
- Hair mineral analysis: high copper and selenium / low iron / low chromium and vanadium. (does this combination indicate any specific problems? someone mentioned liver?)- Live blood analysis/clot retraction test: Leaky gut / liver problems / protein mal-digestion. (The pathologist was very adamant that the liver should be fixed as it showed up as very sluggish)- Organic Acids: confirmed intestinal dysbiosis and also amino acid mal-absorption.- Endoscopy (March 09): No H.Pylori. Minor dyspepsia. This may have changed as he was prescribed NSAID's for 6 weeks and then went on to hydrocloric acid for 4 months straight after, could this combination have caused much more damage to stomach/duodenum??- Standard bloods are all within range. His low iodine and vitamin D have been supplemented and are okay.
- Haven’t done the adrenal stress test yet.
Treatment so far:
- 3 rounds of Erythromycin antibiotic for strep overgrowth / probiotics to restore good bacteria (Customprobiotics 4 strain D-lactate free) / e.coli strain to colonise e.coli in gut / alkalii drink to alkalise the gut.
- Liver detox to commence only once eating increases! The eating is the biggest hurdle at the moment!!!
- Amino acid therapy for brain problems.
The amino acids have eased the anxiety somewhat but after 2 months, results a quite limited, so I assume the brain problems are coming from gut/liver.* Here is what has been happening since May 09 (this is when the eating deteriorated due to painful heaviness):1. He frequently experiences the fullness before any food has entered his stomach. Every morning despite a good bowel movement, he feels this fullness that prevents him from eating breakfast altogether, or having a very small amount e.g. half a banana.2. After eating, instead of the fullness reducing as the stomach empties, the fullness actually grows steadily, over 30 minutes to 3 hours.As an example: He had a glass of veg/fruit juice and got very painful heaviness for hours.3. He never gets belching or reflux, so stomach emptying is probably not be the issue.The particular thing is that he felt a lot better while on the anti-biotic and once finished, this strange fullness returned. He keeps telling me that he feels like he is deteriorating! He can’t even have fluids anymore without getting this pain afterwards, which is really scary!We are trying to arrange another endoscopy and hydrogen breath test for SIBO to rule those out.Please PM me if you need further information of need to clarify any of the info.If anyone has information on what may be causing this painful fullness (stomach inflammation/ulcer, liver/gallbladder problems? Etc) please post here. I would be forever grateful!Thank you,NeilUpdate of symptom I forgot about: he has had a white coated tongue for many years. He has to brush the coating off everyday. Also recently had dental problems, caveties came out of nowhere. The dentist was useless, just filled them up but couldn't help with the cause etc.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,503,531Look into Iodine supplementation and consider trying that before considering Miracle-Mineral-Supplement would be my advice.
I believe Miracle-Mineral-Supplement can be harsh on the stomach and should be a last resort that you'll probably never need if you pursue nutritional and other natural methods
I'm not really into hair analysis but does he take supplements containing selenium. If so it's best to take selenomethionine
Learning gentle exercise methods is also a good idea.
My favourite is qigong. They can induce relaxation better than trying to sit still.
One good simple one is walking slowing and keeping your mind on the soles of your feet.
Qigong can be very effective at calming the mind and improving digestion if done daily - Re: Please help with my brother's ve... LuellaMay

Hi Neil,
I may only be able to help partially and I hope you get some other responses which may shed light on your brother's condition.
With regard to the constipation, what is his diet like? He should do away with sugar, processed foods, junk foods, fast foods, etc. Eat a mostly raw diet, comprising of 80% raw, 20% cooked. The cooked portion should consist of chicken, fresh water fish, and turkey. Turkey contains L-tryptothan and will help with his anxiety. No vegetable oil or canola oil. Use only olive oil, flaxseed oil, and coconut oil. By the way, this diet will also help with his anxiety. People suffering from anxiety also tend to be hypogycemic and this will control his blood sugar.
A question I am going to ask you is, has he had emotional problems of one kind or another throughout his life? Emotional problems can wreak havoc with one's health. Let me point out the following symptoms that you listed:
extreme painfull heaviness after small amounts of food...this is the most severe symptom! It literally is preventing him from eating!
This could very well be caused by anxiety. Some people who suffer with anxiety disorders tend to drastically lose weight where they can even become "wasted" simply because they just cannot eat.
The following are definitely all related to anxiety:
Brain: Anxiety, panic disorder / extreme racing mind / jumbled thoughts / foggy brain / no concentration / poor memory (this could be from past ECT treatment)
Body: chronic fatigue (very debilitating!!) / headaches that radiates to the face / shortness of breath (no asthma).
The disconcerting factor in all this is that he has attempted suicide and is again suicidal. Is he undergoing some type of therapy?
Below are supplements that may help your brother, they are excellent for relieving anxiety. However, I do suggest that he have someone to talk to that can guide him through emotional healing, whether it be from his physical symptoms or something far deeper.
l-Theanine
L-Tryptothan
Colloidal Gold - This is an excellent supplement. It literally preserves the health of the body, mind, and spirit. It helps stabilize any chemical imbalances in the brain and lifts depression. You can get this at http://www.utopiasilver.com. They have a first time buyer offer where you get one free bottle for every 8 oz bottle ordered, but you must call to receive this offer. After that, by using their coupon code LR001, you will receive a 15% discount if it is not on sale. Actually, this is good for all of their products. I take this supplement daily.
Plant Derived Trace Minerals - Trace minerals are crucial. Many times the cause of anxiety is due to a deficiency in these minerals. They also help to correct any chemical imbalances.
Hawthorne Berry Syrup - This will help with a racing heart and will calm panic attacks. What exactly does he feel when he undergoes a panic attack? The reason I ask is because a person having a panic attack feels as if they are about to die. It is highly unusual for someone who suffers from panic attacks to be suicidal, as this is their greatest fear.Iodine supplementation is crucial. Many times anxiety is due to a deficiency in iodine. I take SSKI and magnascent daily. The best source that I can refer you to is from Trapper at the Iodine Forum. That is where I get my iodine and they will guide you as to its use.
Bach's Flower Remedies will help him to relax. Go down the list for the remedies that will help in his particular situation.
Also, what helped me immensely was a product by the name of Mind Soothe carried by http://www.nativeremedies.com.
These are my suggestions. It looks like a large part of his symptoms are anxiety based.
I wish you the very best,
Luella

This is a reply to # 1,503,549Hi Luella,
Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
His diet for the last few years has been very healthy. He is vegetarian but we eat a lot of legumes, beans, lentils etc so protein is in decent supply. No junk food and he is off Sugar and caffine. These changes have made no difference.
His constipation is sort of under control. He is able to go once a day after doing a routine of hot fluid followed by specific stretching to build the pressure. This method started working after the anti-biotic was started.
He has gone through 5 years of psychiatrist therapy for anxiety and at the end of the day, the anxiety has come about from the gut issues, not the other way around. I say this because the anxiety started about 4 years after the gut problems. He finished uni and got his dream job and then the gut problems and anxiety got really bad after that.
He has been taking 2grams of l-tryptophan and 1.5grams of GABA everyday for 2 months and its only helped somewhat. His symptoms (gut and anxiety) eased while on anti-biotics but after a week of completing final course, the symptoms returned with a vengence!
The fullness issue is the most concerning. I know from observation that its not anxiety related as he actually was eating much better while on anti-biotics and then gradually his symptoms have returned.
The chronic fatigue has only developed over the last year or so. Before that, he had okay energy levels, not great but he wasn't bed ridden.
Panic attacks are different to what I have read about. He gets these "painful surges" of fear in his chest. These have reduced a lot from the tryptophan but other brain problems are still very active.
He has been taking Iodine for months and it didn't do much except raise the Iodine spot test result.
Thank you again for your help. I still feel that his brain problems are coming from the gut rather than the other way around, given the history of symptom development.
I have read that liver problems can cause dysbiosis and it makes me wonder cos the patholigist said that the Acne drug roaccutane causes liver problems and my brother was on this drug for about 3-4 months and the gut problems started about 3 months following this.- Re: Please help with my brother's ve...

Whoaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing that your brother was given roaccutane. Bingo! I believe you have found the culprit for everything. It not only causes severe loss of appetite but also all the above-mentioned conditions you described, including psychiatric disorders and suicidal tendencies. Bless his heart. How long has he been off this drug? To start with, he's going to have to do some heavy detoxing and the following is a liver cleanse that will help:
Five day liver cleanse.
-
It is best to have day 4 on a Saturday or at a time when you are staying at home.
-
Day 1: Drink 1 liter (4 cups) of apple juice during the day. Eat as normal otherwise.
-
Day 2: Drink another liter of apple juice. Eat normally
-
Day 3: Drink a 3rd liter of apple juice. Eat normally
-
Day 4: Do not take any sold food after lunch time
-
6pm - Take one level tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water
-
8pm - Take another tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water. You may find that you already have to take a trip to the toilet before the 8pm Epsom salt.
-
10pm - Mix one half glass of olive oil and three quarter glass of freshly squeezed grape fruit juice by shaking it very well in a jar with a lid so that it mixes well and immediately get into bed after drinking the mixture. You will probably make more than one trip to the toilet during the night as well as during the next day.
-
Day 5:
-
6am: Take another tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water
-
8am: Take one final tablespoon of Epsom salt in a glass of water.
-
You will find that many gallstones from the liver will be passed and one will notice them in the toilet. They will vary in size from about pin head size to 10mm. Gallstones in the liver are a major cause of many health problems.
The above liver cleanse can be repeated every month until one finds that for two months in succession no more gallstones are passed. The liver will then be clean. (You can read about this in much more detail in Andreas Moritz's book ' "The liver and gallbladder miracle cleanse" which you can download from his site at www.ener-chi.com)
Other things to do for the liver:
-
Coffee enemas - help open the bile ducts so bile and toxins can be released properly.
-
Coconut oil - a wonderful item everyone should take, it helps maintain a good bile flow.
-
Beetroot juice - is also good for the liver and bile flow.
-
Turmeric - is a cancer fighter itself, especially for smokers, and it helps regulate bile flow.
-
Milk thistle - is a must as it helps protect the liver and actually regenerate it
-
Alpha lipoic acid - another liver supplement that also helps fight cancer
-
Selenium - a third liver supplement that is good against cancer too.
-
In the Berkson Clinical Study, three women who were facing liver transplants or chemo with interferon (a horrendous treatment with very low success rates for hepatitis and cirhossis), took milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid and selenium, modified their diets a bit and got some daily exercise and restored their liver functions to normal.
Besides cleansing and detoxing your body, also cleanse your environment to the greatest extent possible of pesticides, herbicides, household cleansers, air fresheners and other manmade chemicals. In an ideal world, you would move to the country where there was plenty of fresh air and sunshine and less stress. In the real world you may not find that possible, so eliminate common toxins in your household, workplace and other places you spend time.
Neil, I would also try to find a naturopathic or holistic doctor to help him with this detox. Give him lots of love and understanding. I cannot imagine what he is going through.
I wish you all the very best,
Luella

This is a reply to # 1,503,596Thanks Luella!
Well, the roaccutane was 12 years ago. The pathologist thought it was the start of the whole situation. It may have affected the liver which then affected the gut and the whole thing exploded from there.
The liver detox is ready to go. Its a 3 stage protocol from a nutritional doctor. basically to kill bacteria, parasites etc and then to repair the gut and then lastly to detox the body.
But before we can start any of this, he needs to start eating more but he can't do this as eating/drinking causes a build up of pain the the gut. The funny thing is that just 3 weeks ago, he was better as he was on anti-biotics but after that, he started probiotics and the pain has returned...it basically stops him from eating.
We also need to repair his leaky gut before we can do any other gut or liver stuff. From what I have read, the liver detox comes last as a lot of people have had bad reactions to the detox due to the leaky gut.
He has been taking glutamine with aloe juice for a couple of months and its done nothing, I assume this is because he can only handle 2grams a day without getting constipated.
Given the roaccutane was so long ago, does this change your suggested protocol? Sorry, I should have been clearer with the timeframe.

Hi Neil,
Although the roaccutane was given 12 years ago, it could have been the catalyst to many of the symptoms that he has now. Of course, as I said, my reply may be a partial solution. Roaccutane does have long term effects and is so dangerous that I do believe that it was recently pulled off the market. The protocol that I described in my first post should help with the anxiety and depression, although it looks like he may also need to detox. Definitely also incorporate the liver cleanse in the above post.
Now, has he had a problem eating for several years, or is this a recent thing, because this is one of roaccutane's side effects. And I really have no idea why his eating would improve while taking the antibiotic.
Nevertheless, the suicidal thoughts concern me and whether drug induced or not, this is something that must be addressed. We want to do all we can to prevent a needless tragedy. My best advice would be to seek a holistic doctor or naturopath to help you with all these issues. I believe your brother needs hands on monitoring.
My Best,
Luella

This is a reply to # 1,503,690Oh, I see. I read your post a bit incorrectly. You are saying exactly what the pathologist said in that the roaccutane was the catalyst to the whole situation.
A question I have is, can a bad liver cause dysbisis? How does the liver affect gut flora and leaky gut?
Here is a brief history:
1997 - chronic constipation starts / eating remains normal and activity also stays normal (he was very into body building at the time).
2002 - HUGE weight loss, lost 12Kg in just 1yr. Eating drops dramatically, intake basically halved.
2002-2009 - eating is small but consistent.
May 2009 - eating falls dramatically and ALL symptoms sky rocket.
We are just so lost as to what caused this drop. One thought I had was that he was given those NSAIDs for 6 weeks and then straight after that he started HCL supplements, so maybe there is some inflammation/ulcer in stomach/duodenum. Im going to arrange a couple of scans for him next monday.
I am also going to organise a hydrogen breath test for small intestine bacterial overgrowth. The one thing I don't understand is why this "painful heaviness" grown over hours instead of decreasing. I wonder if this is liver/gallbladder pain, or if it is a strange interaction with bacteria in the small intestine?
Edit: He just advised me that over the last couple of days, his stools have been like "pellets". This is strange as it hasn't happened before, as long as he isnt constipated, his stools are soft and well formed. Does this give any clues?- Re: Please help with my brother's ve... LuellaMay

This is a reply to # 1,503,715
Hi Neil,
I wish I had the answers to your questions, but truthfully, they are beyond my knowledge. That is why I have advised that you seek professional help. Preferably not mainstream, but holistic. Conventional medicine will simply pump additional drugs into your brother and, most likely, never find the cause.
One thing I will suggest though, that may very well help, is colloidal silver. Colloidal silver kills all one celled organisms. It is known as "nature's antibiotic." You can ingest as much as you want, you cannot overdose, and there are no side effects. Who knows, if his lack of eating is due to some type of microbe, maybe this will help? My suggestion would be that he drink two ounces a day, together with taking probotics to ensure that the beneficial bacteria in the intestines remain healthy and active. My source of colloidal silver is Curezone Sponsor http://www.utopiasilver.com. It is of very high quality made by sophisticated means. They have a first time buyer offer where you receive one bottle free for every 8 oz bottle ordered, but you must call to receive this offer. Their number is at the top of the home page. After that, by using their coupon code LR001, you will receive a 15% discount if it is not on sale. Actually, this discount can be used for all their products. So it is also cost effective.
I wish I could be of more help to you and I wish you the very best in your quest to help your brother.

This is a reply to # 1,503,831Thanks, Ill look into using silver.
Also, I have read that people who do a detox before they have healed leaky gut and dysbiosis often have really bad reactions as the gut/body can't handle the toxins being expelled. Would the liver/gallbladder flush cause the same sort of unwanted effects?

This is a reply to # 1,503,577The problem may be heavy metals. Has he ever been vaccinated? Does he have mercury fillings? If so, please investigate the Dental health, dental support, and chelation: cutler Support Forums on Curezone.
If you have heavy metals, you have parasites. Most tests for parasites don't work. The best way to tell if he has parasites is to do a round of quality parasite killing herbs like http://www.humaworm.com/
If he has parasites the humaworm will kill them and he will see them in his bowel movements. There is also an Ask Humaworm support forum at Curezone.
Vegetarian diet will hurt your health if you stay on it long-term. Try to introduce meat to his diet. He doesn't have to have large servings, but you need meat in your diet to maintain your health.
Be careful with iodine! All of the Curzone Iodine fanatics will recommend massive doses and refuse to believe that it can cause negative symptoms. With the symptoms you describe, your brother may not be able to tolerate it well. Always keep your Iodine dose small enough so that you experience zero negative symptoms. Iodine can move heavy metals and other toxins in your body faster than you can handle.
Adaptogenic herbs can help a great deal with chronic fatigue. Please check out The Truth in Medicine forum.
Anti-Biotics will destroy your healthy gut bacteria. Not doubt this is contributing to the constipation. Is your brother able to tolerate taking probiotics? If so, you can learn about kefir at the Kefir Grain Support Forum. If he can't tolerate probiotics he can always take pre-biotics that promote the growth of healthy bacteria. FOS is available at just about every health food store and online. From your description of his constipation symptoms I would start with FOS.
Finally please look in to liver flushing. There is a Liver Flush support at curezone with an extensive archive.

This is a reply to # 1,503,606The hair mineral analysis didn't show up any issues with heavy metals. None of them were even close to being borderling high, they were all low. He has one small mercury filling but this was put in after his problems started so I don't think that is the cause.
He also did the 3 day parasitology and nothing showed up. It was through a local lab that specialises in parasitology and they also look for b.homminis and d.fragilis. They also look for ova and none were found.
The funny thing about Iodine is that he started on 2 drops of Lugols and after 10 days, the symptoms went crazy, constipation and anxiety and lethargy just sky rocketed! But im not sure if Iodine can do this.
The anti-biotics actually helped with the constipation. The doctor told us that strep overgrowth created constipation issues so the Antibiotics would have presumably killed strep and eased the constipation.
Im guessing it was the probiotics that caused the worsening over the last couple of weeks cos this is the only change he made after completing the anti-biotics. Unless the anti-biotics just gave a "bandage" effect and the original symptoms have returned?- Re: Please help with my brother's ve... Jonsher_uk

Does he still take iodine? did the symptoms improve
or did you stop because of the reaction?
Iodine doesn't do it but it can mobilize toxins like bromine that could but that's better than leaving them in the body where they continue to cause problems. If you regulate the dose, maybe use SSKI and a little magnascent iodine, plus selenomethionine, vitamin C and magnesium in sufficient amounts this could well result in eventual improvement.
In his case obviously if the symptoms aren't bearable then you have to take care not to overdo it but persist with what is tolerable. Sometimes also more is better than a little
You could also try more and back of entirely if necessary then repeat and see if you get less of a reaction. This would be better than continually flooding the body with toxins it can't deal with
I eventually used up to 10ml of Lugols but only in Iodide form at higher dosage. I previously had ulcerative colitis.
I'm not suggesting you use that much, but it's not the Iodine that's the problem, rather the lack of it in the past
Sure it does initially cause symptoms with toxin release and I built up very slowly but it does also improve digestive function. Now I've used it for over a 15 months and I'm better than ever.
I agree with the suggestions about coconut oil, turmeric and beetroot . I use a lot of those too.
Triphala is also a good herbal formula for detox and bowel regulation, you can take enough powder to induce a good bowel movement, only problem is the taste of it- Re: Please help with my brother's ve... nkm83

This is a reply to # 1,503,984Thanks Johnser.
Well, the thing about Iodine is that he had never taken it for 12 years and then started taking it. He stopped it for a while after the symptoms increased but then re-commenced it and there was no change to the health or level of symptoms. I personally don't think it will do anything more than increase the Iodine spot level.
He takes about 3 grams of triphala daily to maintain bowel movements but constipation is not the biggest problem at the moment, although it has been the most chronic symptom over the last 12 years. The biggest issues are the inability to eat due to the pain after eating. It is literally stopping him from eating.
I don't know whether this is physical (stomach/duodenal ulcer or inflammation) or a reaction with small intestine bacteria or leaky gut. Although, is leaky gut in the small intestine or large???
We have a good doctor here who found the dysbiosis and a good pathologist with personal service who helped me to interpret her test results (she found the liver issue and leaky gut). However, im worried that they may not know all the ins and outs of treating a severe problem like this. I think I may need to find a good naturopath in Sydney who works much more wholistically using herbs etc.- Re: Please help with my brother's ve... Jonsher_uk

This is a reply to # 1,504,083Iodine doesn't work overnight and it can do a lot when it builds up to the right level so I'd give it time.
I'd take a good look at qigong(chikung).
If theres no physical signs of cause of the pain then the cause can be a blockage in energy flow and blood congestion.
Specific exercises for the area involved can be used to treat it. Also acupucture could help.
I still believe Iodine will help though , I feel it may help remove blockages also.
Pain in chinese medicine is due to two things blood stagnation or energy stagnation. Blood stagnation results from energy stagnation and also inflammation. Blockages can also have emotional causes especially around the solar plexus area where tension can build up or a drug could cause this too.
The drug he took all that time ago may well have been the initial cause and affected his liver. Then problems snowball throughout the digestive system
Going to a good energy healer or qigong therapist could also help if you can find one locally.
I hope these suggestions are helpful.
I had the worst bowel disease imaginable and now I am symptom free, so believe it can be overcome

This is a reply to # 1,503,531The human body is so complex. Have you ever heard of Electrodermal Screening? It is a way to get a full body analysis which may reveal just what is causing your brother's illnesses. More than likely his health is compromised by multiple irritants ie. candida, parasites, viruses and/or bacteria.

This is a reply to # 1,503,956Thank you.
We have done the Electro-interstitial scan which did highlight the stomach and liver as problem areas. We know the liver is a major issue but not sure about the stomach. It may be inflamed but not sure if it goes any further than this as the scan is not diagnostic.
We have got confirmation that there are no parasites, yeast infection and no h.pylori. We do know there is major dysbiosis going on. Strep and clostridium overgrowth, no e.coli, no lacto and low bifido.
Its just this strange painful heaviness that starts very soon after eating and lasts for hours that has us at a loss.
Im keen on doing the stomach, duodenum and small bowel scans to exclude physical things like ulcers, inflammation etc. I am also going to arrange the small intestine bacterial overgrowth breath test.

I have been asked to intervene as being of help to your brother and from what I have read from your posts I sincerely believe that I can. I have 30 years experience in Natural Health and have cured my own and very serious health problems.
From the symptoms you have described........
#1. Constipation.
#2. Inflammation.
#3. Chronic Fatigue.
#4. Mental health issues such as Brain fog/memory/anxiety and so on.
#5. Weight loss with coated tongue.
#6. Fullness of the stomach/abdominal area.
#7. Intestinal Dysbiosis and also amino acid mal-absorption.
#8. Headaches.
.............the well intentioned advice in this thread is very good, but no diet or supplement is of any use to the body unless it can be properly utilized and absorbed. This can only occur if the body is receptive to nutrition and there is a demand for nourishment via hunger/appetite: and I mean genuine hunger.
Your brother is not receptive to external nutrition and where this is indicated by a coated tongue and inflammation along with Intestinal dysbiosis and amino acid mal-absorption. Feeding is only adding to his woes.
The real remedy for his ailments is to rest his body and digestive tract completely; this means no external nutrition. This allows the body to rest and restore its functioning powers, whilst simultaneously cleansing his body of accumulated toxins.
This can only be accomplished by undergoing a water-only fast taken according to thirst, and allowing the self-healing powers of the body to do their work.
Absolute rest is vital, and this means complete bed-rest for a minimum of 20 days on water only.
These are just SOME of the benefits of fasting.............
#1. Mental clarity is improved and brain fog is lifted.
#2. Rapid, safe weight loss is achieved without flabbiness.
#3. The nervous system is balanced.
#4. Energy level and sensory perception is increased. The longer the fast, the bigger increase in energy and vitality. You normally need less sleep.
#5. Organs are revitalized
#6. Cellular biochemistry is harmonized.
#7. The skin becomes silky, soft, and sensitive.
#8. There is greater ease of movement.
#9. Breathing becomes fuller, freer and deeper.
#10. The digestive system is rejuvenated and becomes more effective; the peristaltic action of the intestines (the cause of a natural bowel movement) is stronger after fasting.
#11. Fasting retrains your tasting sense back to more healthy food as acute sensitivity is restored.
#12. Fasting can increase confidence in our ability to have control over our lives and our appetite, and that our body is self-regulating and a self-healing organism capable or establishing balance when given the possibility to do so.
#13. Normal metabolic and cell oxygenation are restored.
#14. Detoxification - as soon as the body realizes that it's fasting it will begin to eliminate those things that cause disease, such as fat cells, arterial cholesterol plaques, mucus, tumors, stored up worries and emotions.
