Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 He has had sinus trouble ever since a 6 month period of repeated antibiotics and other drug. This was back when he was only about 3 years old. He has taken way too many drugs ever since then. About 6 months ago he developed eczema. He now appears to be having some sort of chemical sensitivity problem. This has just come up in the past couple of days so I don't have all the information or answers yet. I suspect that he is internally swimming in toxins. Also, I realize he is a young teenager, but I think that 12+ hours of sleep every night is a bit much too. I remember saying that needing too much sleep is a sign of liver congestion. Unfortunately, his diet is not the best. He is O-sec. The meals he gets at my house every other week at least comply with the type O secretor food lists, but his mix and frequency are not what they should be. When he is at his mother's house I suspect he gets the std. American type meals, even though I have tried to influence her to shift towards the BTD. She is O+. Don't even get me started on what they serve for school lunches. Many of my health problems have improved or gone away since I started taking better care of my liver.

Don, No suggestions for treatment itself, but as an approach, I'd be wanting to find the cause and remove it, as the main objective. Meantime, a good liver supplement I can suggest is Livotrit-Plus which is an ayurvedic herbal remedy to support the liver. Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc; AASCA; MCSSA; D.I.Hom.

Drugs and antibiotics and also vaccines - tend to overbalance the delicate balance of immune system cytokines so that there is overactivity on one side (where Th-2 helper cells are made in the bone marrow) and way too little activity in the thymus side (where Th-1 helper cells are made in the thymus, spleen and lymph). The result is a predisposition to chronic conditions from a TH-2 skewed immune system. Those include allergies, sensitivities, and a host of other potential problems as time goes on. His liver might or might not be having a hard time but his adrenals are probably stressed and in need of support. They help the balance of cytokines not to get worse than it is. Supplements that can help this are: Pantothenic acid in large amounts Vit B6 Vit C (as ascorbic acid or ascorbyl palmitate not ester-C) and also Moducare. Moducare is a supplement containing plant sterols and sterolins that helps the immune system rebalance so the thymus can do its job. The thymus is not looked after well by modern medicine which tends to act as though it is not there - pity - as it is the first line of defence against chronic conditions including allergies (eczema is one). Pantothenic acid (aka calcium pantothenate) got my own son right from allergies - he had to take 1500 mg a day to get right. So it is the first aid aspect with the other vits. The moducare is a more longterm approach towards prevention. Any time you take one B vitamin in quantity - like B6 or pantothenic acid as here - it is wise to also take a general B vitamin supplement to keep the B vits all available, else the ones not supplied can become deficient. I surely sympathize with the lack of control you have over the diet of your son - that has to be so frustrating. Maybe you can influence it with jerky snacks etc. Tricky.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Is milk thistle the edible part of a milkweed (the type of milkweed that monarch butterflies like), the white part in the middle of the flower pod? I had a brief wilderness survival lesson once as a teenager where we all tasted it; not too bad, tasted like dry carrots but with no sweetness.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Thanks Elan, you are as always, full of info.and ideas!!! A regular physician told me my liver function was OK and a somewhat recent sonagram did not show any gall stones. What I meant when I said I had not done any flushes to any uncomfortable degree, I meant I did not do any harsh flushes that would make you sick. I have taken filter and flush tablets over the years and ate tons of coconut oil. I also do fresh lemons. I joined this group because arthritis is starting to set into my little fingers and my right foot is in a lot of pain frequently. Also my mother has serious osteoarthritis and is on heavy pain meds. for this. Her toes are all deformed and her hip pains so she can harldy sleep. So thought I would see what I could learn about arthritis that I might not already know. My humble opinion is that the entire family on my mothers side, (of 12 children, 4 have died of cancer and 2 had stones disease) was born with a stubborn generational candida that is the cause of the cancers, stones disease and arthritis. I am pretty sure I am correct about this as every family member I have checked (even my daughter and her children) interestingly all show a lot of candida on the tongue. There seems to be no getting rid of it. Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Grease, including lots of olive oil makes me vehimently sick with racing heart and vomiting. Flushes require lots of olive oil.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Steph, What kind of doctor told you your liver function was okay, and how does he know? When I went to the dr for gall bladder problems, they never said anything about my liver function, but now I know it was horrible. Sometimes their standards aren't high enough or they don't know what they're looking at. I also did not have gall stones, but a completely unfunctioning gall bladder. Since then, I have tried numerous things. Most applicable to your case, I started having gall bladder pains after drinking one weekend so I decided to do my own detox. I ate no food and only drank green tea, detox tea, and acv/honey for two days. By the end of the detox I got a fever and started to get UTI symptoms which quickly went away with cranberry supplements. But the result was more than I could ask for. After only two days, the arthritis symptoms I'd been battling for 3 years were completely, 100% gone. I have slowly figured out it is not disease that causes arthritis, but diet. If I eat very little wheat products, I do much better. I have also read that poor liver function can lead to arthritis, and it would make sense since so many people out there have clogged up livers and so many people have arthritis. I would definitely check the diet for foods that you might not tolerate well, and also check out the book Eat Right 4 Your Metabolic Type- it might have some insight for you as well. HTH!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 By conventional standards you may be eating " right " but what I've learned through trial and error and doing lots of reading is that some people NEED meat as well as dairy in order to be healthy. There is not one right diet for everyone, which is what conventional medicine pushes: low fat, low carb, etc. Some people need more carbs than others, some people need more fats than others. So while you are eating " right " you could be eating the wrong foods for your body. I had chronic fatigue for about 3 years so I totally know what it's like to feel crappy for no good reason. And eventually, I listened to my body and ended up eating the foods that it needed which helped improve my shot adrenals- which was part of the problem. And dairy is a HUGE part of that. Daily I drink raw milk, eat raw yogurt, two scoops of ice cream...and I weigh 115. My cholesterol is in the low 100's. Weight gain is another symptom of liver problems. When my liver needs " help " I gain weight in my gut as well as notice more blood sugar crashes. And don't forget that toxins from your environment get into your body and not just from food! I think if you start looking at foods that YOU should eat you might start feeling better. The Eat Right 4 Your Metabolic Type is a good place to start. (Also, do you have any amalgam fillings?)

Have you ever looked into the work of Dr. Weston A. Price, Sally Fallon or Enig? http://www.westonaprice.org/splash_2.htm It's important to bear in mind that meat products that come from factory farmed animals that are unnaturally and cruelly confined, fed genetically modified, pesticide and herbicide laced soy, corn, cottonseed and other inappropriate foods, and repeatedly dosed with antibiotics and synthetic hormones, are ENTIRELY different qualitatively than those that come from animals that are raised humanely, allowed to move about freely and graze on chemical-free pastures of green grass, and never given any drugs or hormones. People have been eating meat and unpasteurized dairy products from naturally raised animals for eons. But it's only in the past 100 years or so, since the beginning of the industrialization and chemicalization of our food supply, that the incidence of cancer has grown to become the epidemic it is today. So although you say meat has been proven to cause cancer, I think it's really important to put such a statement into perspective, and perhaps not throw the baby out with the bathwater. >Meat > is also very hard to digest and it is an acid forming food. I'm not so certain about what evidence there is to support the idea that meat is hard to digest, although this is a common perception among those who have chosen not to eat it. And as for certain foods being acid forming, this may be so, and yet there are plenty of other foods that can be eaten which are alkalizing to help balance things out. In the end good health really begins with being well nourished, as high quality nutrition is the foundation upon which the body is able to maintain balance and homeostasis within. And it's only when that inner equilibrium is knocked out of kilter that the body's innate ability to heal and regenerate itself becomes compromised, leaving us vulnerable to the onset of chronic degenerative disease.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I read about it in the book " Eat Right 4 Your Metabolic Type " and can't remember how it works. Basically for people who have shot adrenals, they are the foods recommended to improve this condition. High cholesterol foods mainly and low potassium. He also pushes oregano oil and something else I can't remember right now. The author is Dr. Cass Ingram and he has written many books. With your dairy allergy perhaps you can increase your red meat, another suggestion...of course it will need to be the good meat ) Oh yeah...he also says that the person with this body type, you should use a lot of salt. I'm going to check the book out again when I have more time. Evie > > Evie, can you elaborate on the connection between adrenal glands and dairy? I don't consume dairy due to my dairy allergy issues.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 You are using conventional " wisdom " to dictate a healthy diet, which is irony at its best! Perhaps meat that has been purchased at your local grocery, which was likely used for the studies you put your faith in, have been proven to cause cancer. But that is an entirely different meat than what is suggested by anyone who suggests meat for a healthy diet. Meat is not hard to digest, either. It digests more slowly, but when you combine the right foods with it, digestion is not hindered at all. Nor does it " back you up " as most vegetarians insist.
