Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 I have not tried a male fern/slippery elm fast, but there is slippery elm in Essiac (Caisse's) tea which I recently started taking, and I have been having massive bm's ever since, full of hundreds of flukes from very tiny to as large as my thumb. This is in some ways disappointing, because I thought I was past that stage, but if they are in there, I'm glad they're coming out. So I would say, yes, slippery elm must be effective (it's one of four ingredients in the tea) and I wonder why I've never seen it recommended to expel worms before, with all the two and a half years of research and label-reading I've been doing. Two of the other essiac ingredients I also never saw specifically indicated for worms: burdock and sheep sorrel. Only rhubarb I've seen (and used--male fern, too). But there is something in the combination of essiac which, added to my already extensive herbal/homeopathic protocol, is giving those disgusting flukes a run for their money. May be the slippery elm.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2001 Report Share Posted July 8, 2001 http://www.coconut-info.com/purchase.htm I found this site for young coconut oil and am wondering if it is as beneficial as fresh. For those of us who have not found coconuts yet. Does anyone know? Christel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin>> Hello Robin: Do you buy the tea already prepared? Or do you buy the ingredients and make your own? I would like to make it, it doesn't look difficult to do.

It smells and tastes sweet to me. How would I know for sure if it is causing candida growth? +++Hi a. That's wonderful you got relief from the slippery elm. Do not be concerned about it with regards to candida, since it is more helpful than harmful, and I don't think it is harmful anyway. > Also, I've been eating a lot of cassia cinnamon. It is so sweet > tasting that I was wondering if I should use another type of cinnamon or do the anti-fungal properties outweigh the sweetness? +++You shouldn't be eating " a lot " of it, since it is a spice and should be used in small amounts like all spices. +++You can switch to another kind if you wish, but again don't be overly concerned about it. +++The important things are: giving your body " proper nutrients " (this diet plus all supplements), eliminating foods and toxins that feed candida, and eliminating toxins in general. +++Please do not become worried about each and every thing. Besides, candida is only cured by building up your immune system, and that takes time and patience. Just don't overdo anything, and all the while get proper nutrients, and you'll do fine.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hi Cordell, I did a message search at our group site (you can do the same) to find out what Bee has said about slippery elm. She doesn't comment directly to it that I can find but whenever someone mentions it she steers them back to HCl only. You can do a massage to your hiatal hernia to adjust and help it out. See this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig11.php Jackie > > Is slippery elm ok to take on the Candida diet? I've noticed since taking more HCL after I eat that my digestion is really good, and I get less cramping in my stomach (which may have been due to undigested food?). However, i'm now getting more discomfort on my left side right about where my esophagus is. Slippery Elm seems to relieve this discomfort. I'm pretty sure I have hiatal hernia cause sometimes I can manipulate the area to where It doesn't " burn " as much. Before I started taking HCL I still had the hernia, but not the burning so much. Anyways, I've read that slippery elm has polysaccharides, and I'm concerned it may feed Candida. Although the relief on the discomfort is great... > > Cordell > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Do any of you use slippery elm? My son is having a bad week and I wonder if it's the slippery elm that we tried (and stopped since this happened) or if there's something else going on. It's hard for us to tell because if he was glutened (and two freakin' molecules will do it - so who knows if he touched something somewhere), it'd be a good week and more like 10 days for full recovery.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Extra enzymes, yes. Charcoal, no. I cannot get the pills into him, and he won't eat anything dark.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Have you tried mixing it in a drink, with an opaque glass and giving him a straw to drink with? That's what we do and our guy doesn't even know he's getting it. The dark glass covers the color of the charcoal (in whatever) and the straw ushers it to the back of his mouth so he swallows it w/o the grittiness. Works like a charm for us. nancy j > >From: West >Subject: slippery elm > " " >Date: Tuesday, April 27, 2010, 9:19 PM > > > > > > > >　 > > > > > > > > > > Do any of you use slippery elm?

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Interesting. I actually don't know if he has oxalate problems. We're still pretty new to this and haven't had that tested. Thanks!
