Re: Digestive Issues

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne,

I don't think I have the skill to help you on this one.

All I can say is that if you have no cortisol you will be getting reactions to

foods you might not normally have a problem with.

Also, if you have gut inflammation you will use up masses of cortisol.

With adrenal problems you don't release enough HCL in the stomach to get the

digestion going, so you can try supplementing that. I take 10 drops with each

meal, and ascorbic acid helps too.

Ultrasound can't see liver stones that have not 'calcified' in the gall-bladder

yet. I have removed upwards of 15 000 liver stones, (before I knew it was

contraindicated in mercury toxicity by Andy). I couldn't believe it. The first

cleanse removed two handfuls of worms (ascaris) and about a thousand stones. It

was dramatic and never happened again to that degree, but that sight changed my

life and opened me up to new perspectives about what was happening to my health.

I use parasite herbs (cloves, wormwood and blackwalnut tincture) to kill

parasite and fennel and turmeric according to Dr for bowel cleansing. I

would certainly NOT attempt a liver cleanse in your state of health, but perhaps

you could get some parasite out you?

Have you ever tried a whole-food source like Barleygreen? (that is what it is

called here). Really fantastic. It helps me a lot, I take it before meals, I

think it is the enzymes in it that help.

I'm sorry you have such a restricted diet. All I know is that before chelation I

would eat and it would just sit in my stomach and i would get tired, very tired

after a meal. I had several food reactions. These are all gone after a year of

chelation (and a few other things). Once the mercury gets out of those enzymes

hopefully they will start working again for you.

Good luck,

Dean

Digestive Issues

I haven't had complete testing for gluten & casein sensitivities, but there

are some odd digestive issues that perhaps someone can shed light on. Most

practitioners didn't want to do the testing because these foods did not cause

constant diarrhea.

Wheat: seems to paralyze my digestive tract, especially processed flours. I

may need to go, but can't feel the appropriate urge, as if muscles can't

contract or nerves are desensitized? Slows digestive process, makes me

irregular, ultimately with hardened stools. If yeast is involved (i.e. bread),

severe inflammation invariably develops, and processed/bleached flours cause

itching all over within an hour or two.

Dairy: doubled over cramping after 1/2 hour to an hour or so. Also

constipating, eventually resulting in IBS symptoms with alternating

diarrhea/constipation.

Nuts/seeds: slow to pass and come out in the same condition they entered. For

soy, I eat a little bit of tofu or tempeh infrequently - also hard to digest.

In short, I have to eat at least 60% vegetables & some fruits; raw is best & a

very large green salad is best. Alternative grains are essential & bean flours

usually avoided. Well cooked bean/rice dishes are ok now for protein in addition

to basic meats. High fat foods seem to go nowhere & make me uncomfortable for

hours; transfats are out of the question unless I'm willing to suffer. Sugars

are kept very low or they most certainly bring on candida symptoms. If I deviate

much from this simple diet, it seems my entire digestive tract gets inflamed

within 24-36 hours and it takes at least a week to heal again. Stress will shut

my system down completely & bring on horrible inflammation. There's no noticable

problem that's unique to sulfur foods, so I do eat them. I underwent extensive,

year-long cleansing for candida & parasites 4 years ago, but these issues

remained. Ultrasound & CAT scans did not show gallstones. I take 3 caps

Oxycleanse nightly to keep regular,

and that's been very beneficial. I haven't been able to reduce use of multiple

digestive enzymes. It's been five years since making the dietary changes

described, and I guess this diet pretty much boils down to the 'cave man' thing.

It's great to have things mostly under control, but my diet is extremely

difficult in social situations.

The diet seems to tie in closely with what's recommended for Crohn's disease,

although I believe that also should cause diarrhea. Is it possible this is

another autoimmune disease I developed? Or are these symptoms typical of

chronic, long-term mercury toxicity & the likelihood of many years of excess

candida growth? I'm certain 3 years of tetracycline, for acne, in high school

set some of these problems off.

Can I expect improvement with chelation?
