Guest guest Posted August 4, 1999 Report Share Posted August 4, 1999 I was just going to comment on the post about ulcerative colitis about some books I would buy and keep on hand for reference when conditions like this come up in oneself or loved ones: Prescription for Nutritional Healing-- and Phyllis Balch Healthy Healing-- Rector-Page The Encyclopedia of Natural Remedies--Louise Tenney Optimal Wellness--Ralph Golan Healing with Whole Foods-- Pitchford The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine-- Murray and ph Pizzorno Nutrition Almanac--Lavon Dunne My local library county chain has many of these, but you can buy them from amazon.com, Super Crown, etc. If you can come up with $100 or so you could buy half a dozen and keep them on hand for research. I look up a subject in that many and get a general consensus. Then I feel like I know enough to begin to deal with the problem. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 1999 Report Share Posted August 19, 1999 Ten years ago I met a girl who had to drop out of university just before her last semester due to ulcerative colitis. The doctors had given up on her. She had lost her colon at 16, so there was nothing left to cut, and the prednisone wasn't working. What is a poor doctor to do besides give up and tell a patient good-bye? Well, I put her on a program of improved diet, massage therapy, self-affirmation for the psychological component, and in a couple of months she had gone from over 25 bowel movements a night (hence no sleep) to only 5-7. But, the thing that we tried in desperation put her over the top, and proved to be the magic pill. I had read that cayenne will heal any ulcerated wound inside or outside the body. I believed in it, but she had the faith to try it. She started on one 00 cap of 35,000 BTU cayenne on the premise she didn't have to try more. To make a long story shorter, the cayenne took her overnight to a maximum of 1 bowel movement a night. She upped the dose a little, but start at one. I would also look for a strong emotional component, particularly one of too much emotional responsibility too young. In the case of this girl, her parents had a game where, when one of them wanted the other to do something, they said to the daughter, " Go make your mother (or father) do this, that or the other. " The parents thought of it as a loving game, but as Dr. Gnott always said, " Children believe what you tell them!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 experimental colitis Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy WESTPORT, Oct 02 (Reuters) - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may offer a new option in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease unresponsive to other therapies, according to researchers in Israel. Dr. D. Rachmilewitz of Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem and multicenter colleagues induced colitis in rats by either flushing the colon with 5% acetic acid or by " ...intracolonic administration of 30 mg trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid (TNB). " Some of the rats were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (100% oxygen at 2.4 atmospheres) " ...for 1 hour twice on the day of colitis induction and once daily thereafter. " Control rats were not exposed to the oxygen therapy. In rats exposed for 7 days to hyperbaric oxygen, the extent of injury was significantly reduced by 51% in rats with colitis induced by acetic acid and by 62% in the rats administered TNB, compared with control rats. " [C]olonic [nitric oxide synthase] activity was significantly decreased by 61% compared with its activity in untreated rats, " the researchers report in the October issue of Gut. Generation of prostaglandin E2 was also decreased following exposure to hyperbaric therapy. Previous work has linked mucosal prostaglandin E2 to the intestinal damage associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Although other investigators have proposed a therapeutic value for hyperbaric oxygen in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, the Israeli team is the first to elucidate the biochemical mechanisms underlying this therapeutic benefit, according to the report. The rat models differ in some ways from human inflammatory bowel disease, Dr. Rachmilewitz and colleagues acknowledge. However, " ...in the experimental model the inflammatory response resembles, in many aspects, the sequence of events in [inflammatory bowel disease]. " Therefore, they researchers conclude that " [hyperbaric oxygen] may be considered in the treatment of patients with refractory inflammatory bowel disease. " Gut 1998;43:512-518.

A 35 year old friend of mine claimed he had that. I gave him some of my activated charcoal and colloidal silver to try. He claims it cured him. He even said the warts on his feet even disappeared. I also lent him my violet ray generator for his warts at the time, so I don't know for sure if the charcoal and CS were solely responsible for curing them or the violet ray, or both.. That was two years ago. Since then, I have only purchased for him a pound of charcoal and a gallon of silver. He now has a low opinion of doctors. I don't know if it works for everybody. Just be aware that charcoal will deactivate most medicine if taken in close proximity, and CS can interfere with anti-biotics also.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Dear Carol, Dump the Prednisone and forget the immune suppressants. Hubby needs ozone insufflation three to five times per week for 10 - 30 minutes per session. He would also do well to take some aloe vera at the same time. See http://www.aloeessence.com for quality uncut aloe vera powder. Eighteen years is a long time. Naturopathy uses the general yardstick of 6 weeks for every year, so he is looking at probably two years to recover totally. The process will be accelerated by dealing with the emotional problems and stress which are the underlying causes. I have a bit of experience with ulcerative colitis, having suffered with it for four years myself. Best of Health!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Dear Jim Your experience is inspiring incredible and miraculous and thank you also for telling us about cayenne which iI have avoided all these years thinking it was red pepper or at least the equivalent. Now I intend to try it on a modest scale as a general purpose helper. You and my wife and I began also with Adelle in 1958 and since then, as with you, a never -ending trail.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Carol, WHat I am about to say sounds counter-intuitive at first, but bear with me. I have been practicing/teaching simplified acupressure & therapeutic massage for about 25 years as a layperson. The Chinese call it a " barefoot doctor, " where one's knowledge and skill is their only credential. I make no claims and charge no money, so I haven't been arrested. Mostly, I give counsel. I have been studying books about nutrition abot 40 years, since Let's get well, by Adele ; alternative therapies; brain research both orthodox & mindtech; both mystical & scientific metaphysics, and a host of other subjects which deal one way or another with life as we know it & how it affects our health. ABout twelve years ago I met a 21 year old girl who had just dropped out of Columbia one semester before her journalism degree because of ulcerative colitis. They had cut out her entire colon at 16 (is there no limit to allopathic butchery?). She was having over 20 bowel movements a night! The MD's gave up on her. She had no where else to go. She was physically & mentally exhausted & almost clinically depressed. Then she walked into my store. I started her on a better diet mostly by quitting light alcohol & tobacco consumption, coffee, junk food & eating salads daily. It was about all I was going to accomplish in a short time. I got her to make a positive affirmation tape and play it in her ear thousands of times, all day every day. And, I Taught her acupressure & therapeutic massage so she could teach her boyfriends in the future and never be without regular bodywork. While all of these things got her down to about 5 bowel movements in 3 weeks, she hit a plateau that lasted another 2 weeks. I felt we could do better. I had read, I believe it was in Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss, maybe not. But it was a respected herb book, whatever it was, that told how cayenne was " dscovered " in the western world by an English MD who spent decades treating the people on some Island -- I believe it was near Sumatra. THe people there ate cayenne like candy, including the children, every day. All day. It stressed that while cayenne burns like a pepper, it is not a pepper. Peppers are all irritants, whereas cayenne is a soothing herb that will heal ulcerative wounds inside or outside the body! So, I told her about it and suggested she take one capsule with a meal & if it didn't work, how bad could it be? She had grit and blind faith in a respected herb book. And it worked! In three days she went down to a maximum of 3 nocturnal bowel movements a week, if any, and remained there for the several years we stayed in touch. Her parents think I walk on water. I just read good books. ;-) I took 9-12 capsules of 90,000 BTU cayenne daily for 5 years. It's a good remedy for what ails you. The important thing about taking capsules of cayenne is to take them in the MIDDLE of a meal. You must have at least 3 good sized bites of food before and after taking the capsules. You can work up to 4-5 at a time if you want, three times a day. But, I recommend no more than 1-2 at a time unless you are fighting off a flu or some other infection. Have your hubby try it, he'll like it! No joke! jim Carol wrote: > > Hi! > > I am wondering if anyone can help.

When I sold cayenne in the office, it said right on the bottle that it was healing to the stomach. It seems to be hard on me going through. Did that girl have any early sensitivity? I would like to take it every day, but have such a sensitive stomach. I can't take ascorbic acid, betaine hydrochloride, protease or sometimes even vitamin O. I get the " hot dumps " when I take cayenne, but that usually passes (heh) quickly. I can't believe I don't eat enough food around it. (You'd understand if you ever saw me eat.) I've had increasing problems with colitis, esophagitis, and gastritis in the last year even staying away from known irritants. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Kathy, Don't know what effect it has on leaky gut. Didn't know about that when I took cayenne. I switched to SBO's many years ago to prevent & cure infections. But, It helps with candida. SBO's work better, IMO. No reason one can't do both. Cayenne with meals & SBO's between. jim Liam E McCarthy wrote: > > Jim, > Do you know if this is useful for leaky gut or yeast overgrowth in the GI > tract?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2000 Report Share Posted October 27, 2000 , Yes, I have a suggestion: keep on using that new ozone sauna! ;-) I assume from your words you mean you are of a robust size? Doesn't matter. Do you take cayenne in the MIDDLE of the meal? Do you have more dehydration symptoms other than weight & GI disorders? And, what issues are you bottling up?

(tell yourself, not us ;-) > jim I hope to do a sauna tonight. Robust? Well, I'm 210, 5'7 " , so I guess I'm stocky with my weight showing on my belly and my face. I've always had broad shoulders so I look like a weight lifter but I'm not. I do have headaches, more when the fronts are blowing in, or the mold count is high. And, you know, I did have some real things bottled up until recently, and after reading that book, " A More Excellent Way, " I'm doing a lot better in that area. Astute observation there, Jim, as always. I drink a lot of water, take good nutrition, but the entire GI tract has gone way downhill over the last year or so. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
