What do you mean that Happy Colon is extremely mild? Did it work for you? The bottle says take 3 caps. a day, one before each meal. However I take 6 a day and I have anywhere from 2 to 5 bms a day. Before taking it I went once or twice a week. _____________________________________________ I guess it is mild compared to like the Shulze #1. My grandson could never take that. I never take the H.C. or anything else except when I am doing a cleanse. I buy other things from NATR where I get the H.C. and I am extremely happy to have found something a child can take. I think I will try it for several days and see how I feel. I'm glad it works so well for you. In the catalog I get from NATR, people give glowing reports from it. Take care.

I am so sorry you have to take so many meds, but also wonder what all that aspirin and ibuprofen is doing to your stomach...it is so bad for the stomach lining...do be careful, hopefully with a good nutrition/herbal program you will be able to get off some of the medications. You may want to consider drinking aloe vera juice on an empty stomach between meals and at bedtime as it is a contact healer. As for Cascara Sagrada, it has a strong laxative effect, and one reason it has that affect is that it increases the flow of bile...and bile helps with moving of the bowels...I am not sure it alone will break down a stone, but it will keep bile moving through the gallbladder, so perhaps it will help. Will be interesting to hear how your tests come out later. Personally, I have tried taking it, and my digestive system is so very sensative that even if I take 1/2 or 1/4 a capsule full, I can plan on spending most of the next day in the bathroom :-( Have a bit of a case of IBS and it is to stimulating, so I take a milder herbal combination. The cascara that I purchase from my store is a bit less $$: http://www.mynsp.com/web/meydrech/products.jsp?stocknum=1708 I hope that you feel better soon! L.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 > Hi all: This is the first time that I have written to you. Many years ago I was diagnosed with arthritis and started taking ibuprofen at 600mg 3x a day. The last couple of years its gone to 800 mg 3x a day. Hi Pam ~ I have found the zapper has taken away my carpal tunnel and understand many find it very useful for arthritic conditions. I took ibuprofen for quite awhile and it ate my stomach. I can no longer take any aspirin of any kind. Hope you can find a viable solution to all those medications. .s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 My gallstone is suppose to measure at 3cm. and I am not crazy about taking out my gallbladder as the doctor suggested. I plan to finish off the bottle of a 100 capsules. I plan to have an ultrasound done to see how I faired in taking Cascara Sagrada. I also plan to do the flushes (kidney, gallbladder and liver). Have yoiu considered checking with a herbalist shop in England? Maybe they have something similar there? Or order Cascara Sagrada? Let us know what the outcome is. Have you considered flushes? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you so much for any information that would be helpful. farscape667 <farscape66@...> wrote:How long do you plan to take the Cascara Sagrande?

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Don't get discouraged if your stone doesn't go away overnight. You may have to commit to a long range plan of attack (Or it could pop out on the first flush you do - that's the ideal!) My stone was measured at 2.3 cm and I have been working on it for about 10 months or so. It's still there, though I hope in smaller form now. I hope to get around to an ultrasound before too long to see what sort of progress I've made.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Lynn, I think I’ve heard that you can’t take herbs every day for long periods of time, for some reason. Someone told me you should just take them 2 weeks at a time, then be off them for about 3 weeks. I guess because your body would get too dependent on them? Not sure, anybody else ever heard of that? Maybe your constipation problem would be better fixed with plant-based enzymes and probiotics. Carol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.bluegreensolutions.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: pearlmoon@... [mailto:pearlmoon@...] I have some of this herb or should I say bark. I gather from this article that if I take a cup or two of tea made from this (sweetened with honey of course) every night before bed, my body won't become used to it? Is this something I could use on a nightly bases along with senna leaf? I have some of both herbs and I thought I might make a tea before bed each night and it might help me. I have a bit of a problem with constipation since I had my son 18 years ago. I don't like that full feeling and I've been taking laxatives now and then over the years to help. I hate taking pills like that and don't want to if I don't have to. I'm wondering if this would be a good idea for me. Thanks. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
