>>>>I am familiar with Christopher Schulz methods. Although, not as much as others here. I started off on the Christopher methods to help with my digestive issues but quickly found trying to kill something with anti-microbial herbs were temporary at best.

Like I said above, I am familiar with Schulz/Christopher.. but don't ever recall reading anything about them talking about the benefits of fermented foods.<<<<

Perhaps you'll be surprised to learn that Dr. Christopher did teach about the need for healthy/balanced intestinal flora - below are some quotes from his publications (although not all can be attritubuted to him directly)

...(regarding carrots): "...They constitute a powerful cleansing food. A large amount of carrot carbohydrate is one of the most effective means of changing the intestinal flora from a putrefactive to a non-putrefactive type."

From his Woman's Herbal: These vitamins are present in whole grains, brewer's yeast, and seaweeds.  Your body will manufacture its own B-vitamins as it needs them if you maintain a proper intestinal flora, which is done by taking sauerkraut, yogurt, acidophilus culture, or rejuvelac

God engineered breastmilk to satisfy the needs of your infant.  He also supplied immunity to disease through the antibodies from the immune system of the mother.  It establishes appropriate intestinal flora, which can be a benefit throughout the child's life.

Your intestinal flora may need replacing, which can also cause imbalance in the system.  However, taking yogurt probably will not do the job, because most yogurt consists of only one strain of bacteria which, while useful, might not be the one that you need.  A multi-strain acidophilus is better.  Even cheaper than that is Rejuvelac, which is made by soaking one cup of wheat--previously washed--for forty-eight hours in three cups of water.  Use the same seed to make a second and third batch, not rinsing the seed in between.  These batches need soak only twenty-four hours.  This Rejuvelac, as you can see, is really cheap, and yet provides the ferments which can help restore proper intestinal flora.

From a discussion on kelp & seaweeds: Dr. Black said there may be present in the intestinal tracts of the Japanese people a specialized bacterial flora, giving the seaweeds a greater nutritional value.  The bacterial flora are the beneficial bacteria which live in the intestines and manufacture certain vitamins there, as well as helping in the digestion of food.  Dr. Black says that in digestibility tests with cattle it has been found that when seaweed is first introduced into the diet, it is completely undigested and appears unaltered in the feces.  After a few days, however, no seaweed is found in the feces.  So it seems that the bacteria in the intestines have an important part in the digestion of seaweed.  In Japan it appears that children develop the proper intestinal bacteria since they are fed seaweed products since infancy (RodC:710).

That's all I can find quickly regarding Dr. Christopher (from a CD I have - and that was just once through, searching only on  the word "flora") - frustratingly, there's no CD compilation of Schulzes publications for me 'search fast' so you could see all his references.  But in the Save Your Life manual (again, I only had time to search on the word 'flora'), Dr. Schulze says: What is amazing is that, at the same time, garlic actually enhances our friendly bacteria and improves ourintestinal flora and digestion ...which of course, we know is true because garlic is ultra-high in inulin (prebiotic) and it's actually used in some countries to replenish gut flora (I think the study I saw was from India).

Of course you likely know that both Christopher/Schulze were "huge" on Slippery Elm (another prebiotic) - and that's somethine we always include (recommended daily). 

And just like Christopher 'upgraded' the works/protocols of his mentors (to keep up with the more modern challenges), Schulze did the same to Christopher's.  And now on this forum, we're doing our best to 'upgrade & enhance' to adjust the protocols effectively for the higher and more severe candida issues (that they didn't see at the levels we do now, due the increase in antibiotic usage and the incredible amounts of irradiation and life-destroying pesticides, gmos, and fluoride in/on all our food & water).

>>>And this is feremented vegetables, not packed capsuled probiotics. Which would address a lot of the underlying immune deficiencies.<<<  Of course!  Natural probiotics are much more effective (not to mention being virtually free of millions/billions of 'dead cells' that throw the body yet another curveball).  And of course, healthy gut flora is strongly correlated with a healthy immune system!

>>>Perhaps implied, perhaps not.. I believe the fermented vegetables would clear up at least 80% of Teresa's digestive problems, thus improving the efficacy of the rest of the things she is doing to restore her health.<<<  I agree 100%.  I'm sure she'd appreciate all the tips you have for how to effectively afford what she has limited money to buy or transportation to 'get there to buy it'  (when non-pasteurized fermented foods are so difficult to find, and pricey when they are), and/or how she could make and ferment her own while living in a home/house that's not her own (where the owning inhabitants are extremely, let's just say "limiting").  In many ways she's a MUCH more "valiant warrior" than her posts cause her to appear.

>>>Teresa may have physical limitations, but she is not mentally challenged. My post on the schulz/christopher teaching was more along the lines I think people get pulled into their charisma and lose sight of the forest among the trees.<<<  I agree 100% (that she is not mentally challenged).  Teresa is FAR too experienced and much too intelligent to get "pulled into their charisma" or lose sight of anything.  Although some people DO get 'pulled into their charisma' just the same as people can be 'blinded by science'. 

I've never heard of "hot yoga", I'll have to check that out!  Hyperthermia/inducing a fever is HUGE for assisting/bolstering the immune system (that's something that's done weekly on the IP).

Blessings,

Unyquity
