Re: Some questions...

1. This question is out of the blue, yet it greatly concerns my quality of life at the moment. A hiatal hernia(mild case) can be adjusted by a chiropractor – true or false?

Around last year August I had this non-stop burping problem (I won’t delve into what caused it but in a nushell, it happended after I went to bed with a really heavy stomach). Acid reflux is not a problem. I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia via an upper GI endoscopy. I was given stomach anti-acid blockers by the gastrointestinal specialist, but I chucked them in the bin. Instead, I turned to a chiropractor who claims he knows how to “adjust the organ”. I went for two sessions, and the problem (i.e. non-stop burping) indeed went away before it lately resurfaced. It's been about 5 months since my last visit to the chiropractor.

Yes, I just adjusted somebody's yesterday with good results.


2. Until a person’s digestive system starts to function properly (i.e. free of candida, adequate stomach acid levels, etc.), ingesting fiber is going to do more harm than good – true or false?

False, fiber provides fuel for intestinal cells. Raw veggies can be harder to digest due to inadequate amounts of cellulase enzyme being produced to properly process them. Does anyone ever wonder why people who eat raw veggies have so much gas?


3. Are sea vegetable and grass powders (e.g. kelp, spirulina, chollera) allowed on the Plan? I’m not talking about those superfood combinations which has a lot of vegetable varieties and other stuff in them, but just a single vegetable (e.g. kelp powder in which the only ingredient is kelp).

Used sparingly, it might work. I advise avoiding most until Week 9. Tweet
