Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Have been taking 3-4T of VCO for several weeks now but the only thing I notice is an increase in energy. Now, I am thankful for this, but the VCO is very expensive and I don't know that it's worth it if the only improvement is an increase in energy. I exercise, drink lots of water, eat whole grains, etc, etc. Haven't lost any weight, still all bloated. Any ideas??? Thanks.- Re: More energy, but that's about al... vidalia

This is a reply to # 662,331not sure what you have done so far but.....colonics, colon cleanses, liver flush, kidney cleanse and what about eliminating the White Sugar , white flours?? you can also buy these detox foot pads- i have them and they really work. i know this is a lot but you need to be patient and continue if you want to see a difference. definately do this- buy Andreas book on the liver cleanse. go to his forum to find out how to buy it. you will learn a lot that can help you and his flush method is the best in my opinion.

This is a reply to # 662,332You might read Bruce Fife's book, Eat Fat, Look Thin. It talks about how coconut oil helps you lose weight, and much, much more. It tells why vegatable oils are unhealthy, nutritionless and artery clogging (olive oil is not a vegatable oil, common misconception--it's a fruit oil like coconut oil but with different structure). Also I noticed you said whole grains, do you use sprouted grains? To lose weight faster cutting out all grains will get you there more quickly as well as of course Sugar and white flour. Also all of those "diet" foods with artificial sweetners are a no no. Their side effects are many, including actually weight gain. Also I'm sure you are but taking a tablespoon with each meal helps the weight dissolve faster than taking all of your coconut oil at one setting.
Liver cleanse is great as well as other detoxing methods. I've found that my body has quite a lot of toxins still from poisioning and that try as I might it is very hard for me to lose weight too. Getting my body into homestasis has/is difficult, and I believe it to be the key as nothing else alone has solved the problem for me. Once your body acheives homestasis the pounds just melt off because your body is healthy. I listened to ElectricLife's audio tape, it made more sense to me than anything else I have read in several years. My mom gave me her tape, but I see on their webpage they charge $1.50 but it was so informative. As soon as my tax refund comes I plan on buying these products. All I go on right now is what I heard and it made so much sense to me since I have not tried the products yet. You can read about them at http://www.electriclife.net/main.asp?new_customers.htm if you are interested. Hope this helps some, best of luck to you, Caitlin Lorraine

MoreThis is a reply to # 662,332If you are eating grains, then I definitely wouldn't stop taking coconut oil. Grains have been known to be one of the top foods that have mycotoxins (a type of fungal). Coconut oil is an anti-fungal that may possibly help fight against the mycotoxins. Perhaps you should lay off the grains; they may be causing bloating. Try eating just lean meat, fresh veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, and water.

This is a reply to # 662,335Thanks, everyone.
Many questions - will try to remember them all.
Yes - have replaced all the bad oils, except when I go out to eat, which is about twice a month.
I have that Bruce Fife book, which I really like. Have started drinking my water w/ Sea Salt (per his suggestion) and it sure does make me feel good. Eliminating grains is really hard for me but will give it a shot if things don't pick up here soon.
Have done several Liver Flushes but I think I'm running out of stones to flush (each flush is less and less productive - have tried all the tricks to no avail). I've done a few colon cleanses: will see improvement but then go back to where I was before (bloated belly & such). Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Haven't tried foot pads but that is next on my list.
Sorry for rushing - am pressed for time today but I wanted to respond because I really do appreciate all of you taking the time to give input :-)- Re: More energy, but that's about al... sunnydisposition

This is a reply to # 662,336sounds like the contined repeated bloating might be a food allergy , esp since you say it goes away after colon cleansing and then returns.
wheat is a common allergy... try eliminating it for a week and see what happens?- Re: More energy, but that's about al... roselinville

This is a reply to # 662,337Thank you for the suggestion but I don't think that I have food allergies . I did a Master Cleanse for 12 days and my belly did not get any smaller. When I did some colon cleansing, I expelled a fair amount of mucoid plaque and my belly did get somewhat smaller, then after awhile it went back to looking 7 months pregnant. Am I just re-depositing mucoid plaque?? I almost never eat white flour but I do eat something sweet for breakfast every day (like jelly on my toast). I also drink a glass of milk every day, which everyone says is a no-no, but my bones hurt if I don't (it seems silly taking calcium supplements instead - doesn't Nature intend for us to get our nutrition from food?). Anyways, I'm stumped.- Re: More energy, but that's about al... RedPlanet

This is a reply to # 662,338If you want calcium, eat spinach. It has hundreds of times more calcium than milk. If it's protein you need, eat nut butter, like raw almond.

This is a reply to # 662,342Dear Roselinville,
I wanted to respond to your post, because your symptoms sound very similar to mine - looking literally pregnant on a very healthy Diet and receiving only short-term relief from doing fasts and expelling lots of mucoid plaque (I did the Arise and Shine cleanse). These symptoms stumped me for years. It is only recently that I discovered I have intestinal parasites. I don't know if you have looked into this yet, but I encourage you to do some research and see if this could be your problem. www.innvista.com is a good site to look at for parasite cleansing.
As an aside, I spoke with the biochemist at a top coconut oil company, and she indicated that 3-4 tbsp is in many cases excessive, even though that amount is recommended to everybody. She said that she herself only consumes approx. 1 tsp per day, and felt that 3-4 tbsp. was too much for a lot of people. Ultimately, you will be able to listen to your body and decide how much you really need.
Best,

This is a reply to # 662,343Thank you for responding. I tried taking this stuff, "Para-Free", that has Black-Walnut , Wormwood , & cloves. I did it for 10 days (per instructions on the bottle), but I didn't notice anything unusual in my bowel movements. I have started doing the Holistic Horizons Bowel Cleanse - maybe I should use the Para-Free in conjunction with the HH?? Conventional medicine has no answers for my situation, so I am more than willing to consider other options.

This is a reply to # 662,345That sounds like a good idea, Roselinville. I would do the parasite cleanse in conjunction with the bowel cleanse. I would also make sure that your herbs are pure and of a high potency. The quality of herbs can make all the difference in the cleanse.
I just finished my first parasite cleanse. I used the herbs from Hulda Clark 's company (1.866.drclark), and used a Black-Walnut hull tincture instead of capsules. The Wormwood is super strength. Nonetheless, while the cleanse started to aggravate the parasites (ie. I could feel them twitching and poking me at times), it took me three weeks before I passed anything in my stool - and it was not that obvious. I can still feel some bigger ones inside of me.
My next step was to contact Great Smokies Labs (1.800.522.4762)(Great Smokies is one of the absolute best labs for accurately diagnosing parasites) and asked them for a list of practitioners in my area who use them. I have just linked up with a practitioner and am completing the stool test right now.
I am looking forward to the results.
What other peculiar symptoms are you experiencing? Does your stomach get itchy after you eat? How are you sleeping? Do you crave certain foods? Do you feel tired after you eat?
I will be happy to share any information and experience with you that I have to offer.
All the best,

This is a reply to # 662,346Thanks, Healthie. Have you noticed improvement since completing your parasite cleanse? Did you do the cleanse continuously (and for how long) or did you take breaks? (I have read about doing both - no clue as to which is better). My sleep is OK; my food cravings are grains and sweets.
Does your tummy look less bloated? That's the thing that upsets me the most - I look like a stuffed sausage in my jeans and have to wear loose tops to cover it up.

This is a reply to # 662,347Dear Roselinville,
Boy, have I been there with the bloating. A year ago I had people who had not seen me for a few months ask me if I was pregnant (Needless to say, I was not). As for jeans, forget it...skirts with elastic waistbands and gracious tops are all I wear. I find that it looks much more elegant.
I wish I could tell you that the bloating is gone since I have stared the cleansing, but I have only been cleansing for 3 weeks, and I know that I still have many parasites to eliminate. I can understand you might be skeptical that parasites are the true cause of the bloating, and it is wise to research different possibilities. At this point for me, I feel that parasites have been the primary cause of all of my symptoms (especially after starting to see them in my stool).
I do not know if it is better to cleanse continuously or with breaks, but I would imagine that it is kinder to the body to take breaks. After all, it is our bodies which ultimately eliminate the parasites. My plan, for example, having finished the initial cleanse, is to pursue the maintenance cleanse (which is just one dose of the herbs per week), but to do maybe 6-8 days straight of the herbs around the full moon every month (the time when parasites apparently detach themselves from the intestinal walls in order to reproduce - hehe).
However, as I mentioned, I am finally hooking up with a practitioner for a more systematic approach. I spent over a year and exorbitant amounts of money trying to address this entirely on my own with many well-intended and creative methods of cleansing and supplementation, only to find myself more informed but with the same symptoms I began with.
As for the sweets and grain cravings, they have improved since I started eating raw garlic. I had them so bad that they would keep me up all night until I gave into them, and then they would not subside no matter how much I fed them and how full my stomach became. Eating raw garlic has helped me very much to eliminate the sweet cravings when they arise.
Best wishes,

This is a reply to # 662,348I am wondering if a castor oil pack would help? It sounds very simplistic but I was reading some interesting things on the casor oil forum. I am going to try one tonight, I get bloating as well almost everytime I eat and can last for a long time. I see if it helps.

I read the book 'Fit for Life' by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond many years ago.
Although I dont always keep to the food combining rules -
when I do though, I feel so much more energetic; I maintain a flat stomach and generally feel better all round. When I ignore the rules I generally get bloated,gas and feel sluggish.

This is a reply to # 662,338You need a certain magnesium to calcium ratio in your body. One of the problems with milk is that it's way too high in calcium in comparison to magnesium. When you consume calcium, you need to take magnesium with it. Otherwise, too much calcium causes the body to not absorb magnesium properly into the bones. There is a misconception about bone health to begin with. Many people think of calcium when bones are mentioned. There are far more nutrients your bones need besides calcium. My mother has corti-costeroid induced osteoporosis, so I have researched bone health extensively. I have found that there is more calcium and magnesium in green foods such as broccoli than there is in milk, and furthermore, these nutrients in plant-based foods are much more absorbable than those found in milk.

This is a reply to # 662,331Hi
You seem to be doing all the right things and "well done you"!
Perhaps, on the outside, there is not much showing but I'm sure that on the inside there is alot going on. Your cholesterol count is probably down for a start although you are eating a "saturated" fat! Metabolism might be changing to bring your body fat in ratio and your skin, hair and nails might surprise you.
As for losing weight, why not try the "masters Cleanse" for 10 days or so to cleanse the bowel and kidneys. Thewn maybe a liver flush?
Go to cleanses and read up.
Take care
Suzie

This is a reply to # 662,331I had similar problems before gallbladder surgery (before I knew it was a problem even) and I would be huge. Some times it would go down and be a big relief but I started taking swedish bitters in the gel cap form and it worked pretty well. I wish I had found this site before having surgery. It only made me feel worse and I have worse IBS than before. I even still have pain there at times. I don't know why swedish bitters work but they help A LOT for me. I would go and make them do an unltrasound of your abdomen if none of these things work, just to see if there is an obstruction or something else.
