Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi Kim I have discovered a doctor's recommendations to go with our body's own natural rhythm to reestablish our normal digestion process. It is quite simple but may change the order in which you eat your food. It's only my second day and already I feel a change. Here is the info: How to Strengthen Your Body's Own Enzymes The enzyme supplement industry has grown immensely in the past decade. Enzyme therapy can be a useful tool in the healing process for many ailments. But there is another approach that many have found useful in healing – it's strengthening your bodies' own ability to create enzymes. Enzymes are still theoretical in how they work, but one thing is known – that they do work. It is this not knowing exactly how they work that creates many different enzyme products and ways to use them. I have worked with hundreds of people that were using enzymes to help their digestion. They did a lot of good while nausea and gas were reduced and digestion felt all around better. The problem was that many of these people felt they were addicted to the enzymes only to be a slave to them for the rest of their lives. The following program is what was used to help the client wean off of enzyme supplements and in turn help their bodies' to become stronger on it's own. The program is summed up in three basic steps… • The days of filling up on a big breakfast of fatty foods and starches are gone since we know this makes us sluggish. Your body is basically " cleansing " itself in the morning. Your liver is burning fats and your body is attempting to dump waste. After your morning glass of fresh water, fruit is the best thing to help your body's morning flushing process. Have one or two pieces of fruit either for breakfast or at least 30 minutes before eating protein. • Your enzymes weren't active this morning since it was flushing time. They are on a steady rise to functioning at their strongest around noontime. This is a natural circadian rhythm that can get mixed up just like the hormonal rhythm. To help your body restore its natural noontime strength, eat a raw veggie salad for lunch every day for at least a week. Add a handful of sprouts of beans for protein. If you prefer, have animal protein – but no larger than the size of your palm. • After this lunchtime, your body's digestion and metabolism are on a slow and steady decline. By dinnertime, your digestion has slowed, as your body is getting ready for rest. So have steamed veggies for your evening meal, which are easier to digest. • The lunch and dinner veggies are important. Many people believe they are full of digestive enzymes. If this were so, people would be able to eat raw veggies any time without problems. But the reality is that many people feel the effects of eating too many raw veggies when their system isn't ready for it – gas, bloating and even discomfort. I believe that eating your foods in the above manner helps your body to rebuild it's own digestive enzymes. I have seen this method work time and again to help people make their own bodies stronger, and in some cases, even transitioning to an all-raw diet while keeping the discomfort at bay. This doesn't mean that enzyme therapy isn't useful because it is, otherwise it wouldn't be so popular. However there is another way that many are unaware of. No matter what your health program is, keep the following rule in mind; when you work against your body's natural rhythms or replace your body's natural functions, you make it weaker - when you work with the body's natural rhythms, you make it stronger. There's more to the article, let me know if you want the whole thing offline. Cheers, *************** > > So, I just do without. It has taken some trial and error -- and time on SCD -- to get my digestive motility functioning reasonably smoothly. I still have problems, given my neurological deterioration, so keep water enemas on hand for the really severe episodes of constipation. Most of the time, though, the combination of Miralax plus magnesium helps. I am accustomed to constipation discomfort (pain) and bloating, though. > > Kim M. > SCD 5+ years > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
