Someone wrote that Psyllium is better for cleaning out the intestines BECAUSE it’s a soluble fiber -- he added ”which expands” as the basis for it being better. This is totally backwards. It’s NOT as good as flax seeds (ground of course) BECAUSE it’s soluble. Flax seeds are a combination of both soluble and insoluble fibers -- plus a good source of Omega 3’s. Soluble Fiber can be digested (because it’s soluble) and enters into the blood stream where it helps to lower blood cholesterol and slows absorption time of glucose into the blood stream, thus lowering blood sugar levels ...

In this case...the purpose of eating the beets is to determine what your transit time is...how long it takes you to digest food.

Enemas can actually help with detox symptoms by expelling toxins from your body faster. Colonics are far more effective than enemas...enemas usually only reach the sigmoid colon, but colonics can get all the way to the cecum. Plain filtered water is fine and may be the best if you are prone to detox reactions. Coffee enemas are great, but they release a lot of toxins from the liver which may increase your reactions.

You can take fiber (psyllium) indefinitely...although you may not want to take higher doses of it...it won’t harm you, but you’ll probably get tired of taking the shakes so much.

This is what I know about asparagine: I was wondering if you or anyone you know has had any experience with using it. Main Functions: Asparagine is made from Aspartic Acid plus ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). One of the two main excitatory neurotransmitters. Glutamate, made from glutamic acid, is the other. Among their functions as neurotransmitters, of particular interest is the fact that Aspartic Acid and Asparagine have high concentrations in the hippocampus and the hypothalamus. The hippocampus is a part of the brain that plays the main role in short-term memory, while the hypo ...

To alkalinize your body eat lots and lots of fresh veggies and fruits and start juicing. Add sea vegetable to you diet. Also find a good liquid mineral supplement that includes trace minerals. Drinking a glass of water with fresh lemon juice in it will also help...even though the lemon contains citric acid it has an alkalinizing effect on the body. Cut down on proteins and stay away from processed foods, sugars, dairy, flour products, alcohol, coffee, chemical exposures...and learn to manage stress well. Deep breathing exercises can help to alkalinize the blood. There are so many d ...

You got me. What’s a face food P? I see more and more credible research going against soy, what is your take on it? One other thing, have you heard of using the amino acid L. Asparagine to help the liver to detoxify ammonia(from candida)? So many questions...so little time.   [End]

You don’t need any additional herbs for the colon cleanse. As for diet...the ’cleaner’ the better...stay away from the ’whites’...sugar, flour products and dairy...and go easy on face foods or soy. Lots and lots of veggies and fruits...if you tolerate them well...and fresh juices, too.   [End]

Hey Friend, It’s been a hectic week. Doug has been mentioned every day in the papers somewhere. My sister (doug’s aunt) was on t.v with her kids talking about doug. She had a piece of a back board that he shatterred while showing off to his brothers. His dad, (Gordon) was on tv last night being interviewed talking about what a great experience this is. It’s been a hectic week, but all good. CSPAN said that the Raiders are in trouble because they had to pay all their veterans and didn’t spend any money to get a tight end. Oh I’m mad, but that’s why they play the game. Let’s jus ...

My doctor prescribed a cream that I used for four weeks with no success, she said I just had inflammation of the rectum/possibly some minor fissures that should go away. Now I am wondering if this problem could be internal. I am getting very frustrated and am trying desperatley to rid my self of this problem once and for all.

All our bodies are different. I also have horses, and since they get more parasites, it’s easier to see and monitor. Parasites love sugar, so they make you crave sugar, since this food has not nutrional value, it can do nothing but make you unhealthy and in some people overwieght. I can tell you in horses, when they are loaded with parasites, they lose muscle tone,(no hind end, bony back, no muscle tone on their shoulder), but end up with a big fat belly. This is because the parasites take all their nutrition and leave only used food for them. Besides the fact that the parasites ta ...

Could parasites cause a person to eat more so that excess weight gain would occur? If so what exactly is it that happens? I ask this question because at first it would seem if parasites were robbing one of food there would be less consumed resulting in weight loss if anything..   [End]

Can I stay on my birth control pills while on the cleanse? Should I start the parasite cleanse at the same time or should I wait until I am finished with the cleanse?

Southern Belle, Always wearing gloves and safety glasses. All measurements of lye, water, oil and anything you put in the soap are exact and weighed to make sure every single bit of every molecule? of lye is matched up with the proper amount of oil so you don’t get a ”lye heavy” soap. I use a lye calculator on-line.

Boy, it sounds like you are serious about improving your health! That’s great! If you go to your local health food store, you will find several colon cleanses and they are all good. One cleanse that a lot of us have gotten good results from is using a tablespoon of liquid bentonite clay and 1 teaspoon of psyllium husks. You mix in water and shake. Drink quickly because it will gel. Drink a couple of these a day and you will see results. You can read previous posts on this forum and see what kind of results people have had from using the B & P shakes. You might want to try sever ...
