Guest guest Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Hello, Danette. Welcome to the group. There are usually some very intelligent people here ready to answer questions right away -- so I am surprised that your questions have been allowed to wait so long. I am sorry, since I know you are under a lot of stress and probably in pain as well. I did some research, since I don't know a whole lot about pancreatitis, and thought I'd better gain some knowledge before I gave any advice. What I found was: " What causes pancreatitis? Acute pancreatitis is usually caused by drinking too much alcohol or by gallstones. A gallstone can block the pancreatic duct, trapping digestive enzymes in the pancreas and causing pancreatitis. " ....from a site called Mama's Health Anyway, since I'm going to kindly rule out the idea that you've been drinking too much alcohol, let's just go with the idea that you probably have a gall-stone blocking your pancreatic duct. If that's the problem, then you really really need to be doing a cleanse. If I were you, I'd get busy drinking apple juice and taking large doses of Vitamin C while I researched CureZone.com and figured out which gall-bladder cleanse would work best for me. To ease your immediate pain, you might want to drink some warm water with a tablespoon of Epsom salts dissolved in it at three hour intervals from the time you first get your hands on some Epsom salts until you have taken at least three doses. You could also apply heat to your painful abdomen to help relax your tensed muscles and (hopefully) your blocked ducts. A couple of capsules of Valerian herb before bed would help keep things relaxed while you slept. Buy some lemons and some olive oil (extra virgin, cold-pressed) and prepare yourself for a rather unpleasant 24 hours or so. If you have any experience with giving yourself an enema you might read up on those at CureZone.com and do one or two to help clean yourself out for the flush. I did a simple Epsom salt enema with my first cleanse and it worked well. If you have to wait a day or two before doing the cleanse I would make sure that your diet includes a lot of raw garlic and onions to help your body fight off infection that might result from the inflamed pancreas. Vitamin C is also very important to help prepare your body for your cleanse. But since your situation is acute I would do my best to arrange to do a flush right away. The recipe I follow goes like this. I eat a fat-free menu the day of my flush. I stop eating anything after 2pm. At 6pm I take 2T of Epsom salts in warm water and do an Epsom salt enema right afterwards. After that I do not drink anything until I am through taking all of my olive oil. At 7pm I drink 1/4c olive oil followed by 2T lemon juice. Every fifteen minutes I drink another 1/4c olive oil followed by fresh lemon juice until I have swallowed 2 cups of olive oil and a cup of lemon juice.(The olive oil can be taken at 20 minute intervals if nausea makes it impossible to follow the strict 15 minute interval). I keep the lemon juice and olive oil right by my bed along with the measuring cup and spoon, and I lie down between doses. When I am done with the olive oil and lemon juice I roll onto my right side and go to sleep. It is important to stay on your right side and stay in bed for at least 6 hours (unless diarrhea or vomiting makes this impossible) to allow the olive oil and lemon juice to work on your gall-stones. I spend the next day at home, near a toilet, and count my gall-stones as they are released (in the toilet) so I can come here and brag about how many gall-stones I flushed out this time. This process relieves me of my minor abdominal pain and makes me feel like I'm really doing something important for my health. So far it hasn't made me feel like I'm just brimming with energy, but maybe sometime down the line it will work. Once you've done a cleanse and hopefully flushed out any stones that are causing your acute condition you might want to check out the other cleanse protocols... ridding your body of parasites, the liver cleanse, etc., and see if you need to include them in your regimen.
