I like juices, citrus or juices like carrot blends
with spirulina in them. Of course, it may take a long
time to restore balance to good gut flora. I hope
you are still doing a candida protocol...

What I am also wondering however, or thinking, is perhaps
your Ileocecal Valve may be malfunctioning and that
if you can learn to close it manually, you may find
the progress you are seeking.

My chiropractor taught me how to do it, since he
found mine was sticking open and it is a common problem
he said. There are instructions below. I do it laying
on my back and by massaging and pressing in and up
towards my left shoulder, it is possible to feel it
close.

So, for your consideration~~

Ileo-Cecal Valve

The Ileo-Cecal valve is a small muscle located between the small and large intestine. Found only on the right side of the body, this one way check valve allows our food to pass into the large intestine for further processing. The proper function of this valve is to open and close upon demand. When this muscle sticks in the open position it causes a backwash from the large intestine into the small intestine, allowing fecal matter to be used in the making of blood. This has great consequences as the small intestine is where the process of creating the blood/fuel to feed the body begins. When this muscle is stuck closed, the process of eliminating waste will be hindered. Both of these conditions are very toxic and can cause a problem anywhere in the body there is blood.

These conditions are related to eating improper food and/or emotional stress and can seriously affect the performance of the whole body. Low blood/fuel can also cause the valve to lose its tension and stick, usually in the open position. This situation can be identified by the whining sound in the individual. The liver meridian travels directly over the IC valve, so excessive amounts of alcohol consumed will stress this valve causing it to stick open. The result is one of the main causes of hangovers.

Technique for Correction

Use the same procedure to correct an open or closed valve.

At the area of the valve, (in two inches and down two inches from the top of the RIGHT hip), massage with medium pressure, in a rotary motion for five seconds. Then using a closed fist, briskly stimulate reflex area (right upper arm) for 10 seconds.

The correction may be performed as often as necessary.

If you want healing, then juice green veggies, like spinach, Celery and carrots. Carrots make the juice sweet, or skip the carrot and add a small amount of dandelion greens..you can't beat dandelion greens for healing the liver!

If you want cleansing, then do fresh citrus juices, like grapefruits, orange juice, or try pineapple which again is sweet..so it's up to you. I love grapefruits for cleansing.

Don't eat fatty foods, not even nuts or avocado during the daytime, have your fat in the evening, when it will release the bile. If you eat fat all day long, you are going to be releasing bile all day long.

Let us know what you do and how it turns out! You might try a parasite cleanse in addition to your addition of juicing.
