Prebiotics

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've just brought some acidophilus which has FOS in it. I cant remember if

we've discussed it here, so excuse me if we have, but I've just read the

literature and Im pretty excited about it. The studies show that it

increases iron and calcium absorption among other things, and improves the

bioavailability of essential nutrients and stimulates the growth of the

good bacteria.

Hi Kate,

Where did you purchase? Was it online? I'd like to

purchase something like that with iron.

In a Townsend newletter they had a study/article on prebiotics.

I briefly read the study/article at the health foodstore.

Prebiotics (food sources for good bacteria) are

FOS, Inulin and Lactose. They gave prebiotics a thumbs up.

However, if you have more bad bacteria than good prebiotics alone

will not solve the problem. You will still need both.

Hi Bob. How do you know your gut flora is bad? Great Smokies test?

There is not doubt that there is an emotional component to this stuff. I am

now using a product which I believe is the strongest thing out there. It is

called Seigen. Website is _www.seigenusa.com_ (http://www.seigenusa.com)

I just went to a lecture by a local ND. He said that taking slipper

elm every day as either capsules or a tea would pull out and remove

all mucus, even from the brain. I didn't get a chance to question him

further on this but he said it will pull it from the lungs, stomach

and brain, then said " anywhere it is stored " .

I'm not sure about that (never heard of mucous on the brain), but if it's a

good prebiotic....

To answer 's question, he really didnt say. I think he may have

mentioned something along the lines of any undigestable fiber products. I'm

sure inulin would have been on that list.

The speaker was so good I bought his book. He says of slippery elm

that besides being good for pulling mucus out, it is anti-inflammatory

and astringent. His book is very interesting in that it addresses the

emotional reasons behind illness, and the symbology of illness along

with the symbology of the herbs/supplements. I think this is a big

missing part of treating illness and he's one of the first people I've

heard address this.

My ND recommended slippery elm to me. She said put 1 to 2 tablespoons of

powdered elm into a glass of water and let it sit for 10 minutes and then drink

it on an empty stomach. I couldn't find the powder outside of capsules, but did

find some plain powder online and it is soooo inexpensive. I bought 1 oz for

under $2.00.

I've read on Oil of Oregano lables that it's recommended that you take

probiotics while using that herb. That seems to corelate nicely with Kerry

Bone's suggestion.

Thanks for posting this. I may try this protocal since it's been a battle of

ideas that have driven me to the point of saying screw it, hand me a beer

lol

I've also been taking FOOD GRADE 35% hydrogen peroxide a few times per week.

About 8 drops to an 8 oz glass of water. The full-strength of this product is

SO strong, gloves ***MUST*** be worn while handling it, but once diluted it is

safe. Every time I drink it, die off occurs. It's suppose to kill all bad

bacteria and is VERY cheap. It was only $5.99 for a bottle that'll last a few

years.

A gal at Whole Foods says the H202 is very contraversial so the store won't

carry it, but she did recommend another product. An oxygen one that's similar

to the hydrogen peroxide w/out being so strong. I bought that and figured it'd

be a great test to alternate them.

It may absorb or slow other medications so needs to be taken away from them

by at least 2 hours. It also needs to be taken with plenty of water or will

cause constipation - it sets.

Not that I know of. Slippery elm has been used for centuries. You

can eat it as a gruel. It was given to sick people who couldn't keep

regular food down, as it is very nutritious and also soothing to the

stomach and bowels. When my husband had bowel cramps from

diverticulitis he took slippery elm in water twice a day (1 or 2 large

heaping tablespoons in a half glass warm water) to sooth the bowels

and stop the cramping.

Sounds familiar although I haven't read the other posts yet. I basically

need a protocol written out in abc which I can follow initially and then find

out what works for me.

[Guest guest]

Yes, slippery elm is very cheap and good to have on hand. you never

know when you'll need it. It can be used to sooth bowel cramps, when

a person can't keep anything down, for coughs/sore throat.

A light beer shouldn't really be a problem anyway, should it? 3g of

carbs per in a miller lite. Duncan makes sense about alcohol being a

waste product of candida anyway so should it really make much of a diff?

[Guest guest]

The slippery elm is for inflamation of the gut. It's beneficial because those

with candida tend to have " leaky gut, " and the soothing nature of Slippery Elm

can aid in healing that.

I bought a bottle of slippery elm capsules, but then saw an ND and she said to

drink it as powder - 1-2 tablespoons per day, so I tried opening the capsules

and it took about 8 of them to fill one tablespoon!!! lol So, the bottle would

only last about four days.

You can buy powder online for cheap.
