Re: Does anyone have this problem?

Hi Amber,

The coating on the tongue happens when one is full of toxins. It is

really evident during the master cleanse while in full fast mode, during

which the toxins are circulating around in the blood and are needing to

be evacuated. During fasting it may clear up in a 10-15 days or longer

depending on the condition and health of the person. There are websites

that show how the tongue shows the health and what parts of the body

they pertain to.

All basically saying the same thing. Check them out and see if it helps

you figure what is happening.

Wow, thank you for those links. I've done some searching, too, but never came

up with such good pictures.

I can believe that. I had a major pesticide poisoning in Feb. 2003 and it has

affected my heart, lungs and bones. I did major detoxing at that time. Even

had to move out of my house for awhile. I have lost half my lung function

because of it and the Dr. wanted me on oxygen 24/7. I have refused to do that.

I used to cough, gag, choke and vomit every day. After 4 years of it, I'm

finally over that. I do still get out of breath at times. I believe my GB

attack was also linked to the pesticides. I'm tremendously better now, finally.

Except for the tongue problem. I'm taking a variety of antifungals and

probiotics. Anyway I'll hang in there and hope it eventually gets better, too.

(Oops, I noticed this was still in Draft and I had not actually sent it. So

it's out of order.)

WOW! Tongue biopsy to determine coating on the tongue. Their bag of tricks is

almost empty. glad to hear you declined. There are plenty of books on Chinese

tongue diagnosis. Extremely accurate. If you have a good TCM practitioner in

your area they will be able to tell you everything immediately. -D

I live in a very small town in a rural area. I don't even know what a TCM

practitioner is. The tongue is still coated and got worse when I started taking

more antifungals. Evidently something inside my body is wanting to get out. No

biopsy for me. I'll see if I can find anything on Chinese tongue diagnosis.

Thanks.

Wow, I've never heard of this before. Thank you so much. I'll have to really

study that info.

Amber,

Have you tried Oil Swishing to clean the tongue off?

http://www.loaves-n-fishes.com/oilswish.htm I have done this for years and find

it very helpful. When I first started I did use the Sunflower Oil. I now use

Caster Oil and find it works faster and pulls more toxins. I wouldn't recommend

Caster Oil to start with due to taste and texture. The Sunflower Oil is a very

light textured Oil with a very light taste. In my opinion, this is why it is

recommended.

Just an idea that might help you detox.

Would olive oil work? I have that but not the other oils.

I have tried Olive Oil and it just tastes too bad and burns the tongue too much

to leave it in the mouth long enough to work. Be sure your oil is cold pressed

whichever you choose to use.
