What am I doing wrong?

[Guest guest]

Have you tried the SAM I suggested? Also, are you

getting your essential fatty acids? Lack of them can

really make you depressed. I think it was Tom that

suggested gettting your thyroid checked. Your

symptoms do suggest a sluggish thyroid. How's your

morning body temp?

Why are you eating so little?

Eat 20% protein like turkey with 80% veggies. If you are able, eat a

WIDE variety of veggies. Lettuce and spinach do not provide everything

you need vitamin-wise. Can you eat grains?

I also agree with Pamela on the fatty acids. I take 1-2 tbsps per day

of Barleans Cold pressed flax oil. You could also eat ground flax

seeds or eat salmon to get fatty acids.

I went on the Body Ecology Diet and it really worked for me.

See my other posting about it. There is a book but you can follow the

basics without having to buy the book...e-mail me if you want more

info. I can type out some notes.

I started my son on Mito cocktail. At first his bumpy skin stated

disappearing as well as his cracked lips. His stools also became

better. After a while the bumps have come back. I thought it may be an

underlying yeast issue so we started GSE, OLE, Biotin and Candex, This

gave my son about a week of good stools with some black flecks. He has

been on this for 3 weeks and the bumps are still there and now his

stools have become mustard colours very smelly and soft.

I feel like I should be a bit more aggressive with the treatments. I

just don't understand why the improvements disappear after a while.

Hi Ina,

Bee explained what is going on with you but I also wanted to remind you that I

had warned you that garlic and onions contain a lot of sulfur and are considered

to be " anti-fungal. " They WILL contribute to your detox symptoms. You might

consider cutting back on how much of them you eat. You can also safely eat other

low carb veggies that are part of the " approved " food list.

Then, I introduced pork and bacon and reduced my veggie servings to the point

that there are days when I eat only garlic

I think I detoxify through my mouth too, cause there are mornings when I have a

yellow coating at the base of my tongue. For many years I've had a white coating

on my tongue in the morning, which I thought was related to bile/liver.

I'll try the hydrogen peroxide solution as a spray. If I apply it like that I

should be careful not to bleach my eyebrows, even if diluted with water? And

should I let it dry on my skin or wipe it with a cotton pad after a while?

What can you say about Rose Hip seed oil, which is supposed to be good for

scarring? I'm guessing it should not contain sugar, right? You're recommending

Rosehips in vit C so maybe it's good for the skin too.

" It is unique among vegetable oils in containing retinol (Vitamin A), and is

also high in vitamin C. Rose hip seed oil is high in the essential fatty acids -

linoleic acid or omega-6, and linolenic acid or omega-3. It is commonly used in

skin care products. It is used for a variety of skin conditions, including

dermatitis, acne and eczema, for mature and sun burnt skin as well as brittle

nails and wrinkles. Rose hip oil is also frequently used to heal scarring and

diminish photo-aging. " [from wikipedia].

> +++My body was different, since I detoxified mostly through my stomach, my

mouth and my vagina. Also at one point during my candida program I detoxified

through my eyes for 3 months.

> +++Hydrogen peroxide is very healing because it is oxgenating. One of our

members reported using the spray on her skin which greatly improved it. But it

won't necessarily speed up healing since most healing comes from within with

mainly " proper nutrients. " I can't say it reduces scarring. If scars are going

to lessen it would come from within too.

+++Hi Ina. There are many toxins we have gotten in our mouths that have to come

out, including fluoride, chemicals in mouth washes, toothpaste, breath mints,

lip balms, lipstick, etc. that contained chemicals and fluoride. Also fluoride

treatments by the dentist, and novacaine (which makes the gums and face become

numb when they come out). My brother thought he was having a stroke when one

side of his face, gums, nose, mouth, etc. went numb, but instead it was

novacaine being released.

+++Yes, protect your eyes and eyebrows. You can let it dry for awhile and if

your skin is still wet, wipe it.

+++Don't use the Rose Hip seed oil. Instead apply ascorbic acid crystals

(vitamin C) mixed in water on your skin.

+++But again healing comes from within so treatments aren't necessarily going to

cure or help, but they won't do you any harm either.

Bee, may I ask why you don't recommend Rose Hip seed oil? (it is cold pressed).

From the description, it is high in retinol and vitamin C, so looks like a

perfect combination of cod liver oil and vit C for the face!

Maybe it's better to make my own combination using cod liver oil and ascorbic

acid crystals?

Oh, and I found hydrogen peroxide 10%. Even if diluted 50-50 with water I still

can't use it on my face? Will it be too damaging/powerful?

+++Hi Ina. It is much too strong to use a 50/50 mixture. Add more water than

H202 if you use 10% - I can't think of what that ratio would be this morning;

10% is more than 3 times as strong as 3%.

Bee

[Guest guest]

I don't think a 50-50 mixture of 10% hydrogen peroxide would be dangerous,

but that is a fairly high concentration. I'd try a 3:1 or 4:1 of distilled

water:H2O2.

Ok, I'll do the math for the correct ratio

Bee, I have some other questions regarding supplements. I bought Calcium and

Magnesium both from NOW in powdered form and I was wondering if I can mix them

and then dilute them to take both at once. Does the liquid for dilution matter?

I have to tweak the amounts of Calcium/Magnesium powder I use as per directions

on the bottle, so what is better? To use less or more if I don't adjust the

right amounts?

If I have 2 meals a day this means I can take Vit C 2,000mg twice a day?

And please reconsider my above question on rose hip seed oil (message #88041).

Thanks

Ina.

+++Hi Ina. Zack responded to your message with the approximate ratios, so look

for his message too.

+++Yes you can do that. No, it's okay whatever amount of liquid you want to

have with it.

+++Get as close as possible.

+++You can if you wish, as long as taking that much at one time doesn't cause

you to get loose stools. Splitting up doses lessens the possibility, or

starting with smaller amounts and gradually increasing them.

+++There is no need to use Rose Hip Seed Oil, so why bother.
