Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I am up to 8 pills of Betaine Hydrochloride at each meal and have not noticed a difference. I am taking for at the beginning and 4 though out. What else can I do? I have tried the saurkraut too with no change. Please keep in mind I am a nursing mother.

I was hoping it would help the constipation though. No luck yet. I have started doing the massage and boy does to hurt and it feels like a golf ball. I am not sure what else I should be looking for.

I meant that dehydration issues that are *due to just the inability to retain sodium* only resolve when a person drinks water with sodium (or more specifically water with sodium chloride). I SOOOO agree with you that there are many more factors that can and do cause dehydration. For example, if someone has a vitamin deficiency, or has poor nutritional habits, or has candida issues, or... having sodium chloride with water will be of little benefit as there is a lot more involved than just sodium chloride. > ==>Also minerals and chloride are very important.

You don't think I was trying to suggest that someone just does part of your program and ignore the rest? My post was meant to highlight the electrolyte drink and one of its benefits as it relates to dehydration and constipation issues. I was in no way implying that someone just do one part of your program and ignore the rest. I would have hoped you would know that I would never dream of doing that, as I so believe in the healing nature of your program. > ==>The focus must be on " giving the body what it needs to do its > job " and the adrenals will eventually normalize... Yep, again, I'm with you on that too. " ) Jecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more than that means a person should be doing other things to improve their digestion, rather than just taking HCl. > > > > ...have you looked into whether you have adrenal fatigue? > > > > ==>All candida sufferers have adrenal fatigue and most have > > malfunctioning thyroid too.

It is best to be as specific as possible otherwise it can easily be misconstrued. > I SOOOO agree with you that there are many more factors that can and > do cause dehydration.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 > > How important is this? This is the only supplement I didn't buy because it seems I could potentially have to take so many with every meal and that I won't be able to afford it. What ever function it has I know mine isn't working right because I have 0 energy and digestion is garbage. Does anyone know where to get it really cheap? > +++Hi . You pay for quality, and this is an investment in your health, which is so important compared to other things in life. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
