[buried post] for Anja...The Whole Program?

(originally from here/buried: http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1481535 so I brought this back to the top)

 

For Uniquity Greetings of health, Anja!

- I know I've seen your posts in other forums over the past couple years, but can't remember where exactly. Yes, I've been CZing for around 4 years (and researching/self-experimenting for a few before that).  I wondered if I could pick your brain...'sure can, I'm happy to share. I'm currently mostly surfing and occasionally posting in the iodine supplementation forum, as I'm working with Dr. Brownstein and taking Lugol's & Naturethroid for what he is calling Hashimoto's, nodular enlarged thyroid, hormone imbalance. I am actually seeing him again tomorrow and I'll be asking him what he's currently recommending for candida, bowel stuff, liver/GB, etc'Hope you're seeing good results.

Perhaps now would be a good time to explain the difference between truly/fundamental "natural health & healing" and the various "alternative alternatives" that frequently call themselves 'natural'.  Knowing that you've been around the block a time or two (or three or four, lol), I'll do my best to be as brief as possible (but brevity is NOT my long suit, as you likely know if you've read very many of my posts).  This difference between 'natural & alternative' is FAR bigger than most realize - this post (especially the first 1/3-1/2) explains how that happened: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1372970#i  This thread explains the various faults of science (upon which virtually all of alternative medicine is based): http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1417382 (of particular importance in that thread are Grzbear's & my posts).

Our bodies are hardwired with schematics that provide the ability to heal from any disease (and virtually any trauma)....the main function of the body is to heal & live.  These schematics are so complex that even teams of the most advanced researchers (with the most advanced computers) have yet to even come close to understanding exactly how our liver & kidneys actually do what they do (they admit this)...and as far as the brain, science is a million light years from grasping anything but a small percent of it's functions & capabilities.  On top of that...we are "trinity beings": body, soul & spirit - a physical body with a soul of reasoning, emotions & personality; animated by a spirit/energy that continues to be indefinable & immeasurable. Every aspect of our trinity is dependent upon the other; every system and organ in our physical body is dependent upon the others; and it's all dependent upon the zillions of cells & microorganisms throughout our body (and that's just the "known" cells & microorganisms - "science" doesn't even address the very real truths of pleomorphism and presence of somatids -see the second link above). 

In a very tiny nutshell?  The cause of all disease is the natural schematics of our body being thrown out of kilter; the cure for all disease is restoring the body to it's natural homeostasis (homeostasis = The state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and function correctly), so that natural schematics of our body can work.  Frustratingly to most all that are seeking healing, the vast majority of substances that we call 'supplements' (and many protocols/procedures used by alternative medicine) do NOT restore our bodies to natural balance & homeostasis...in fact, they generally throw the body even further from homeostasis...and can actually cause additional harm

For example, what is likely THE supplement that is THE most innocent, and most UNLIKELY to do any harm or throw the body out of it's natural balance, and adversely effect homeostasis?  Vitamin C, right?  We all know that if we take more than our body needs, we easily urinate away the excess (our body keeps/uses only what it needs).  Here's the truth: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/398167/VitaminCunknown.txt

And this: http://www.thedoctorwithin.com/vitaminC/Ascorbic-Acid-Is-Not-Vitamin-C.php

And this: Isolated/Standarized Extracts of plants & herbs

Imagine what happens in our bodies with a daily dose of Vitamin C AND (what a typical 'alternative patient' takes) the 'out of balancing' effectsof 5-10 various substances that are not whole foods/plants and are isolated away from the various alkaloids & phytochemcials that Nature included in the original plant/food...that are being prescribed via various tests based on "science", by those whose knowledge comes from "science"...and what that does to the natural homeostasis of our body.  And you have a game of chance I refer to as "supplement roulette".   It doesn't take much looking around CZ to realize there are very few winners :( 

 

How in the world is our body EVER supposed to fight & keep up the daily influx of toxins from our environment (and radiation and EMFs...), lack of oxygen in our atmosphere, lack of vital nutrition & enzymes while desperately trying  to rebalance itself from the myriad of UNbalancing UNnatural supplements we're ingesting (and figure out how to utilize them without the natural alkaloids & phytochemicals that are necessary for utilization)...and heal itself from decades worth of past imbalances (and damage from the same)?  It can't.  But it sure sells a heckuvalotta supplements and keeps a lot of "alternative practicioners" in the money.

Even though these various supplements & substances may be less toxic than pharmaceutical chemicals, they can sometimes be just as dangerous and ineffective. Why? Because using a supplement (any substance that is unnatural to the human body) to squelch or ‘band-aid' a symptom is like putting a piece of duct tape over the oil light on the dashboard of a car (without adequately addressing the cause of the oil light). Certainly the symptom (oil light) will no longer be visible or annoying, but that symptom is the only way our body has to cry out for our help. Virtually always, band-aiding symptoms with unnatural substances will further unbalance the body, worsen the original problem and create new symptoms & disorders.

Most of us have a VERY hard time understanding/believing/grasping this...generally it's those that have journeys/pathways like you list below, that are the ones willing to look past 'the science' (which we've ALL been conditioned to depend upon).  I was lucky (even though I've slipped 'into my conditioning' along the way), when I first started along my healing pathways that I had my mother-in-law as a mentor (cured herself of Stage IV liver cancer), so my foundations were built on the programs & protocols of the greatest healers that ever lived...that were consistently able to cure the most "incurable" of all diseases.  And upon those healers, the protocol I teach/suggest is based.   Dr. Christopher & Dr. Schulze used NO substances that are unnatural to the body (unless one gets persnickety and classifies juices, herbal tinctures & teas as 'unnatural') - yet they were able to cure cancer, MS, MD, ALS, regrow vertebrae that had been dissolved/destroyed by cancer and Dr. Christopher actually had a patient whose leg/foot had 'withered' & shortened due to polio...and her body restored/regrew the leg and foot to match the other.  This link (an interview with Dr. Schulze...please feel free to skip my "allopathic comments" at the beginning) will be very beneficial in understanding some of what I'm hoping to convey: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1413289#i

Onward:

 

I have been all over curezone for a good 10-12 years, and I have done many different protocols including liver flushing (about 12 of them over a period of a few years), colonics, bowel cleanses, even some UT, parasite cleanses, homeopathy, herbs, supplements, candida diet, Body Ecology Diet, Specific Carbohydrate Diet (which is the best approximation of my current diet), mostly raw, or some version of a non-processed diet for many years.. and I'm still struggling with what I feel at this point is long term chronic infection with yeast/fungus, pathogenic bacteria & parasites which are likely contributing to the hormonal issues and pelvic congestion, lymphatic congestion, bloating and digestive issues, vaginal infections, near lifelong chronic headaches esp. with my period....etc. (mother and grandmother the same). I always check 'past posts' of posters that I'm not familiar with their history.   6 years as 'Anja' was just too much for me to wade through...but I could see by the various forum/changes you've definitely "been there done that" - and from what you're reporting, the healing that you deserve (and that your body is definitely capable of) is evading you.  I'm sorry your road has been so rough :(  And yes "congestion" is something that is at the root of all disease.  When our natural schematics are thrown off balance/out of kilter (if we could sum it up), we have a basic "lack of flow".  When you think about it, there's virtually no disease that's not related to some type of congestion or blockage.  Pasteur's "germ theory"?  Even HE admitted he was wrong - germs don't cause disease anymore than mosquitoes cause a pond to be stagnant...it's BECAUSE the pond is stagnant, that there's an overgrowth of mosquitoes...and the same is true of pathogens/parasites and overgrowths within our bodies.  Basically still feeling sick and toxic most days ...but ...you CAN win this battle - your body does has the ability to heal itself - it just needs your assistance in ways you've not yet been exposed to.(and according to recent hair test, no mercury/heavy metals). That's great! The one thing I haven't tried yet is fasting. I get headaches when my blood sugar gets low (there's no reason for your blood sugar to EVER 'get low' when juice fasting), but wondering if I should at least attempt a juice fast.  This is one of THE first things I suggest everybody reads (regarding juice fasting - Dr. Schulze, from the Save Your Life manual):  JUICE-FASTING: The POWERFUL healing therapy!

http://curezone.com/upload/_N_Forums/Natural_Heali/JuicerInformation.doc

HOWEVER (and this is MAJOR!!!), doing these protocols 'one at a time' or "mixing and matching" generally NEVER gets us where we want to be.  The reason for this is pretty simple actually, but likely the HUGEST thing overlooked by "science"...and that is this:  EVERY system/organ of the body is dependent upon ALL of the others.  For example: go to a naturopath or MD with 'fluid retention' and virtually always they'll address the kidneys (that's kind of a 'well duh', eh?) - but the kidneys may not the root cause of the issue at all...or they might be...or their malfunctioning may only be a symptom of other things being wrong with other organs/systems.   If the kidneys are not being supplied with enough oxygenated blood flow, they cannot function correctly (causes: blood that is too thick/sluggish, any/all arterial issues, heart issues, the lower colon being even slightly swollen/impacted --which presses on the kidneys preventing adequate blood flow-- dehydration, hardening/calcification in/of the kidneys, liver issues, autonomic nervous system, etc., etc.)  That's just one example of hundreds/thousands of possibilities...but I'm kind of getting off point.  My point (from a previous post):

Doing one cleanse at a time, can many times work against us.  Think of it like restoring an automobile that's been driven hard & fast for 30 years without much (any!) regular maintenance...and really (REALLY!) cheap fuel - many times 'fuel' that was definitely not even designed for the car!   The exhaust is clogged, the fuel lines are filthy, the oil/filter needs changed (desperately), the carburetor needs calibrated and cleaned, sparks & plugs changed & gapped, alternator fixed/adjusted; transmission rebuilt (or at least overhauled);  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 ever get the carb/oil/filter work.  But if you do the oil/filter/carb before you cleanse the fuel lines and get the gunk out of the exhaust and deal the points & plugs, the plugs'll be corroded again before you know it.  New tires & brake pads before an alignment? A waste of new tires/brake pads.  If the alternater is 'shorting or weak' that stresses all the system parts....the electrical flow through the engine is no different than the electrical flow through the body.   Change to high-grade fuel before cleansing and restoring the damage from the cheap fuel?  :::sigh::: That can end up being a waste of fuel (too rich for the compromised system to handle).   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.  And it's only MDs and "alternative practicioners" that believe we can deal with one system of the body at a time.  EVERY system/organ in the body depends upon every other.   (Perhaps those analogies weren't "mechanically/technically perfect", but I'm sure you get the idea).   In one of Dr. Schulzes interviews he talks about how many people say: "Well I did a colon cleanse; I did several liver flushes already; yeah, I juice fasted a few years ago; yes! I did hot/cold showers; I tried the vegan thing; I took herbs...none of it worked!"  And Dr. Schulze replies, "But did you ever do everything TOGETHER?"

I should mention I'm married to a guy who does therapeutic bodywork and I've been getting this kind of work for years, along with good chiropractic, That's just fantastic!  What a blessing that must be :) and we are really baffled that I'm not in better shape by now, though I'd probably be much worse off without that work and what I've already done.  Perhaps by now you're starting to be a bit UNbaffled? I don't get enough regular exercise - the one area that's my biggest failing, and it has probably set me back, but it's been tough to motivate with chronic headaches and fatigue.  Yes indeedy, that's very likely...flow of oxygenated blood is essential to health.  You'll be happy to know that on the IP (short for Incurables Program), you get to "start where you are".  You need to exercise 3x daily "until you sweat, pant, or your face turns red"...and if it only takes 2 minutes to 'get there', then 2 minutes 3x daily is where you start...and you work up from there.  We also utilize daily cayenne and hot/cold showers for circulation.

I need to figure out a truly proper and effective protocol for cleansing and restoring balance, since I don't think I've ever had it. I agree completely!  I was sort of sick even as a kid, and it's basically gotten progressively worse (I'm 42 now and basically structure my life around my dietary restrictions, headaches, menstrual cycles), though I have had some good results with things I've done so far. But it sounds like you've got a ways to go before you're experiencing the vibrant health (and freedom!) you deserve (and that your body IS capable of achieving!) Currently I'm taking Barefoot's LBB (good product) and have been regularly using that for several years. I'm glad to hear you're maintaing bowel activity...3-5 bms daily is what is natural & healthy (the very first link elaborates more on that) I had the "black ropes" appear maybe 6 or 8 years ago with a combination of his de-wormer and an herbal/psyllium colon cleanse product from the health food store, kicking around the idea of trying that again, though the dewormer felt VERY strong and possibly kind of hard on my liver.  If you've been taking LBB for years and haven't achieved a natural 3-5 bms daily, then you're DEFINITELY correct about needing to cleanse again (and do some intestinal strengthening/healing).  ALL cleanses should be done: once VERY thouroughly...(on this protocol "thoroughly" for the colon/bowel = 30 days on the IF#1 (or LBB if you prefer) AND the IF#2 (which is a VERY healing/cleansing fiber blend, with far more than just psyllium)...and then we should 'maintenance cleanse' 4x yearly (I prefer a week on each solstice).  And yep, some type of de-wormer is essential...we have a liquid, MH's is good and so is HumaWorm.   

Do you have a link to a protocol with time lines, dietary suggestions, products? below :)I've still got a cupboard full of half jars of everything under the sun. My most recent purchase was Lauricidin, since it sounded to be very antimicrobial, and my hunch is I may need something like that. I felt awful on a very small dose, which either means die-off and my liver can't handle it, or maybe too much along with the iodine, not sure. Likely all of the above.  We shouldn't be chelating poisons from our tissues (iodine & other substances do this) and killing off critters until our organs of elimination are open, flowing and working at their best.  There's a REASON our bodies store the poisons in our tissues, it's because the organs of elimination and neutralization cannot deal with such a daily heavy load.  So if we choose (in all of our "scientific wisdom" :::smirk:::) to dump vast amounts of these stored toxins into our bloodstream (that our bodies already KNOW they can't deal with even a smaller daily quantity), then we feel like hell (AND we further compromise and overwork our organs of elimination...that weren't able to keep up in the first place).  The reason we have a proliferation of 'nasties' is because we have too much stagnancy and filth in our bodies...they have food, so they proliferate (and in the case of candida, cleaning up the filth in our bodies is their purpose/function).    More about the yeastie-beasties here: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1477571#i

Many people ask, why can't I do a particular cleanse now, then I'll follow your basic program next month. This approach not only doesn't work, but it can make you very ill.

One of the basic rules of Natural Healing, and I teach this all over the world, is you FIRST must open up, strengthen and tone the elimination organs, especially the bowel, liver and kidneys. Why! The whole purpose of doing any type of cleansing or detoxification program is to get the toxins out of your fat, muscle, and blood.

The point is, how are all these poisons supposed to get out of your body! Evaporate? I don't think so. These toxins once dissolved must be eliminated by your bowel, liver, and kidneys, and if these organs are not ready to handle the load, you may wish you never thought of getting healthy. I have seen many patients who attempted to do deep cleansing programs before their bodies were able to eliminate waste and they didn't get well, in fact they got worse.

What can happen is that all these toxins and poisons that you begin to dissolve and remove have no place to go, recalculate, reabsorb. I am sure you all know someone who started to do a deep cleanse and felt worse instead of better.

I looked at the ingredients of your products and they look similar to Schulze but maybe a little different? Absolutely!  What minor differences there are, are because he has changed (or stopped making) several of the products that he used when in clinical practice.  I'm not interested in what he "theorized" and came up with to "sell"...I'm interested only in the products that he (and Dr. Christopher) utilized when they were healing (and designed specifically for the purpose of healing, and used them to heal thousands).  This is one of the things I LOVE about both of their products/formulas.  They did NOT start off by designing/formulating something to sell...they used their herbal knowledge to HEAL people, and over the years honed and refined their products to be effective for the hundreds/thousands of people they actually HEALED.  Then, after the Powers That Be arrested them and prevented them from healing, they turned to educating and selling what they'd used successfully for decades.  THAT is the kind of product I feel comfortable making & offering to others.  Maybe it's time to try a new protocol, I think you should definitely give some consideration to giving your body the opportunity to have ALL systems functioning & healing at the same time...one at a time certainly doesn't seem to have worked for you in the past. which hopefully at this point is affordable... I could probably have paid cash for my house if I could get back what I've spent on supplements and natural doctors over the past 20 years. :::sigh::: You, and hundreds/thousands of other CZers over the years :::sigh again:::  We do our best to keep the prices as low as possible (most are 35-40% less than Schulzes).

If you've got a link to a recommended protocol, or have any suggestions, that would be lovely!

Posted below (from a post I posted yesterday to someone inquiring about the  full program protocol http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1484754#i) is a link to what all entailed (I've edited it slightly for you).   Frustratingly (you can not IMAGINE how frustrating!) this forum was opened 2-3 weeks "early" (I had planned on "writing the books worth" of FAQs and the complete protocol and 'forum description' before the forum was opened - and when I awoke one day and Webmaster had already created/opened it (at there was questions) I did not have the foresite to tell him to close it (I just figured I'd be able to get it done somehow).  That mistake (5 months ago) was HUGE on my part, but I'm dealing with it best I can...and I sincerely apologize for not having all the information & data in one place.

Anja, I understand this may likely seem/be VERY overwhelming.  The videos I suggest below are very beneficial...particularly the SYL series (check your inbox).  I certainly do NOT expect anyone to 'take my word' for ANYTHING, but I do want EVERYONE to have an opportunity to take the time to research the protocol used by THE greatest and most successful healers of this century (hopefully before they're "overwhelmed")

SO, the basic protocol for everyone (no matter WHAT their symptoms or issues) is here: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1438129%23i

...and then we customize/add whatever you need for your specific issues. 

We have (in our Herbal Apothecary here: Herbal Apothecary ) all the products you need (the full IP is listed under Specific Cleanses/Packages), plus (likely) anything we'd want to customize for your particular issues.  We don't have the organic enema coffee & bucket (which you can get here - you'll need approximately 2 1/2 pounds for 30 days : S.A. Wilson's Enema coffee for coffee enemas ) and castor oil (which you've likely already found locally).  If not, you can order it here: Castor Oil Therapy

The other things you need (like wheat germ oil, apple cider vinegar, blackstrap molasses, ginger root, etc) are things you should be able to find locally - if not, let us know, and we'll be happy to share where we order things when we can't find them near us.

Information:

--On this site you will find all KINDS of information about the various cleanses and products on the IP:  http://healingtools.tripod.com/DS_pages.html  This is THE largest "Dr. Schulze" site on the internet (and we all extend our thanks to Tom Harrelson for all the selfless work he does to maintain it!). 

--In the tan area/bar atop every CZ page is a bar of small links...toward the right hand side is one for Schulze.  Click that, and start reading any/everything you can (and have the time for).  :::grin/wink:::  Between  these two links, you will find a vast amount of information and answers to a lot of questions.

--Dr. Schulzes Natural Healing Crusade videos: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1394438#i

Sooner or later (sooner is better :::grin:::) these are "must see" videos - but I always like to warn folks, that Dr. Schulze is EXTREMELY "charismatic" (those that aren't familiar with him could easily consider him "radical" or extreme)...and these videos were filmed at his Natural Healing Crusade...where healers and students from all over the world were lucky enough to have the opportunity to hear him in person.  These people are already familiar with Dr. Schulze, his mannerisms AND his protocols...and watching these really is (in many ways) like seeing an evangelical preacher! lol  (we have these videos burned onto DVD in our Storefront under Media, if you'd rather watch them on your television).

Dr. Schulze also created another set of videos (that are much more geared for people that are NOT familiar with natural health & healing), and INCREDIBLE for those that are.  This set of videos (originally 12 VHS tapes) and a 650 page manual/binder was called the Save Your Life set....and was retailed for around $400.00 (we frequently abbreviate this set as SYL).  It is no longer offered commercially.  Sometimes the videos can be found on eBay (but it's rare to find them with the manual). 

It is not "required" to watch these videos or have this manual to heal yourself...but I've never met one person that watched them, that wasn't thrilled that they did (and most of us have seen them several times).  So if you'd like to, avail yourself to them whenever you've got the time :)  And most folks would be very frustrated trying to do the program without them.

****

BTW, I saw Dr. Brownstein yesterday and he thinks based on observation and my blood tests 4 months ago that I'm low in iron/anemic, so I got an herbal supplement for that, which will hopefully help the fatigue and maybe level off the weight gain. The thyroid is still nodular, but not as enlarged, so the Naturethroid and Iodine must be helping. I also saw a bodyworker afterward who I visit occasionally, she's pretty intuitive, and she thinks I have parasites in the small bowel and colon, and they've migrated to my ovaries, etc. through a "leaky gut." No big surprise there. She actually thinks the candida is sort of a companion to the parasites rather than the primary problem. I asked Dr. Brownstein what he was recommending for candida these days, and he suggested Citrucidil, which I've used in the past, oregano oil, and that the Lauricidin I bought was a good product. Other than that, to "clean up my diet," which is always the most frustrating recommendation because it's very clean for a long time, 98% better than most americans, but maybe I need to cut out fruit and any tiny amount of grain, etc.   I wish & hope for everyone (no matter WHAT their methodology) that their choices for health care will work out to their best advantage and provide the healing that they/you deserve.  But I don't feel all that confident that you'll get much more than the typical 'temporary bandaids' that you've had in the past.  For example, while there's no doubt in my mind that iodine is a significant aspect of thyroid health, I'm also very aware that many people have gotten complete relief from enlarged thyroid from using Poke root, and/or Dr. Christopher's Mullein/Lobelia combination (neither contain iodine), so iodine is not ALL that the 'thyroid is about'.  I don't disagree with a 'test' that came back low in iron, but without knowing what all supplements you're currently taking (and have taken) AND whether you're getting the oxygen you need to adequately 'fuel the hemoglobin', the test could indicate a 'false result' (example: Vitamin C can actually raise the level of iron in the blood and lower the level of copper, so if one is taking just that one supplement, they can end up "testing" that they need to supplement copper and need IP6 to lower their iron...when neither is true, and if they take those things, they'll create even worse imbalances).  There's also this possibility (from a past email to someone else):

Anemia, Lungs, Iron...just like calcium, it appears we have a case where the organic/good forms of iron are essential to respiration (the 'red'/corpuscles in red blood cells is correlated to iron content, the red blood cells carry 02).  Hence (of course) anemia = various lung/breathing stresses AND (the opposite can be true) that diminished lung function and inadequate oxygen can equal issues with iron levels. Excess iron build-up in the lungs (can be caused by smoke, and likely non-organic iron supplements) is very detrimental.   As is the elasticity and structural functioning of the lungs themselves.

As always "science" always claims to know 'which came first' in the chicken/egg scenario :::sigh::: but many times they have it backward completely.  It's possible that a LACK of elasticity and proper structural function of the lungs themselves, can negatively impact our bodies ability to process/utilize iron, no matter how much we ingest in whatever forum  So many times we find that when science says "lack of X causes Y", the truth is that "diminished function & lack of flow through Y actually causes lack of X". 

And :::grin & a wink::: since we know you don't exercise much, there is a likelihood of your lungs being compromised and hence, a lack of oxygen throughout your bloodstream.  Once again (always) addressing the cause is what creates the healing.  Altering the readings of a test result doesn't address the cause at all...folks take insulin and have perfect blood sugar levels on their tests (but still die of diabetes); folks that take statins have perfect cholesteral tests, but still die of heart attacks and clogged arteries.

Still, herbal iron (organic is essential!! for herbal supplements) is unlikely to cause a problem...and you might actually need it.  (or you might just need better assimilation of what you ingest...and since there's obviously some colon compromise to be dealt with, that's also a strong possibilitly, methinks).

No doubt, parasites/candida overgrowths can cause all kinds of problems, but killing them without addressing their root cause isn't healing (it's only a temporary bandaid)...and if your organs of elimination aren't open/flowing, then the die-off compromises your body, too.  The lower colon wraps directly around the uterus & ovaries.  If it's even the SLIGHTEST bit swollen (and it likely is if you're not having 3-5 bms daily without herbal assistance), then your uterus and ovaries ARE being squished...and NO organ can function properly if it's squished out of shape and not getting ample oxygenated blood flow.   Here's "my story" about that:

I also had PCOS and extremely harsh period & early menopausal issues (I was 45/46)...and extreme acid-reflux.  Every month (this all encompassed 2 weeks of every month) - I'd gain 6-10 pounds of water weight; I had hot flashes and night sweats constantly; I'd been infertile my entire life; swollen breasts; mood swings that would have made a rabid drill sargeant jealous; obvious & extreme hormone imbalances; cyclic acne...and horrendous cramps & clotting (I have an extremely high pain tolerance, but had to take 4 ibuprofen every two hours around the clock for 2 1/2 days monthly to be able to function).  For those 2 1/2-3 days I had to use two super-plus tampons at one time and I had to change them every 2-3 hours. 

I did the colon cleanse 7-10 days, and didn't think much of it.  The acid-reflux was gone (yay!) and I felt MUCH better (yay!)...but I attributed that, at least in part, to our change from toxic foods to organic.  Then one day I went to the potty, and lo & behold, I'd started my period.  HUH?  That's just not even POSSIBLE!  I've had a "week's worth of warning" and a full day of cramping before my period started for years!   The flow (instead of being brownish and full of clots) was brilliant red, healthy, with only little tiny clots...and I had virtually NO cramps (I took no ibuprofen, had only about a pound of fluid gain, virtually no mood swings, no acne...wow).   Oh yes, the IBS went away, too.   I actually had no idea what had happened, I was just 'blissed out' (and of course, so was my husband).  It wasn't until months later that I learned how the lower colon wraps around the uterus & ovaries...and likely all my life, they'd been squished out of shape. This compression also causes a lack of blood flow/oxygen and can be responsible for all variety of female diseases, fibroid tumors and even cancer.  (my cramps were so bad in high school that you could see my uterus squeezing/cramping - and sometimes it even caused vomiting).

80% of Dr. Schulzes female patients with ANY type of female/hormone issues were totally healed after a thorough bowel cleanse.  BUT (myself included), if I don't do regular maintenance cleanses, I start getting 'squished' again, and the symptoms start returning.   With all systems/organs being interconnected (particularly hormonal systems and levels) when the ovaries are compromised and not functioning, that likely affects other hormonal and endocrine systems.  Like Dr. Christopher was so fond of saying: to truly heal, we sometimes have to get to cause behind the cause! 

 

Anyway, thanks again, and really - I appreciate any input, but no big deal, don't feel like you have to drop other stuff for it.   You're more than welcome, Anja!  As I expected, "brevity didn't happen", but hopefully I've offered enough information that you can start 'digging in' and getting to the root causes of your issues.  I'm spending the next 3-6 days adjusting my sleep schedule (and hopefully doing a LOT of catching up), so I should be able to answer your questions MUCH faster than I answered this post. 

The one thing I'd like to request (if I may), is to please remember that that 'science' upon which allopathic AND alternative medicine is fully based, is NOT ADEQUATE or complete, nor does it take into the consideration the myriad of variables of the way our organs, emotions, energies and supplements interract.   But we DO have the works of the greatest healers that ever lived...and the tens of thousands of consistently/positive results.  And to me, that's FAR more impactful that 'science'...so impactful and so real to me (and my husband) that we've devoted the rest of our life to helping others find and see the truth that we have.

I found this quote yesterday: "If the Truth is clear, what is the use of meditation?"...and it's SO appropriate for natural healing (AND "natural life").  So many times (for so MANY reasons) the "obvious" is ignored and we spend (waste, actually) our time contemplating deeply for answers that are right in front of our faces...and we'd seem (and likely apply them) if we weren't so busy looking at the 'details & distractions'.

 

Healthiest of blessings -
