Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 The only thing that I can think of is that hernia is related to B6 and zinc defiency, mercury can cause both. mt Mercury does block the enzyme that is needed to process B6 and lots of other things, plus also causes zinc deficiecies commonly by effect on cell membrane permeability and other mechinisms. but I wasn't aware hernia had to do with B6 and zinc. mercury does affect muscles however by its cellular metabolic effects, so that could be a factor Mostly indirect and hard to prove.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Corrine... unfortunately I'm not going to be much help on this one... you'll have to wait for Don in the a.m.... or someone else in the group... However, here is a website that might help. http://www.healthlinkusa.com/147B.html I'll do some further looking though tonite.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Is your friend overweight? Sometimes this will help the situation.. Here is some info I have in the files on hernias... INGUINAL HERNIA The groin is a natural weak spot for all upright people. This is much more so for men than women because the testicles start out being on top of the kidneys and travel down into the scrotum before birth. In their travels they leave a tract. Usually this tract closes up or fibroses, but occasionally it fails to close and sometimes remains wide open. This results in a groin hernia or tendency to hernia development. Even when the tract is fibrosed, it tends to be weaker than normal tissue, and thus is likely to give after years of repeated pressure. This is why hernias are commoner at the extremes of age - in the young and again in the old. In the young we see those hernias which have been left open since birth, and in age we see those which have given way to life's repeated pressures at a time when general tissue weakening is beginning to tell. Here is info for after surgery that I have Herbal treatment is directed at supporting recovery once your child is home from the hospital following surgery to repair the hernia. It is not intended as a substitute for surgical treatment. The following two-week program is useful for a child recovering from hernia surgery.Days 1-3: Twice a day, give your child one dose of an Echinacea and goldenseal combination formula. This herbal remedy helps to detoxify the chemicals remaining in the blood after anesthesia, as well as to support the immune system and prevent a possible infection from developing in the surgical wound.Days 4-6: Three times a day, give your child one dose of astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous). This healing herb, with its rich concentration of trace Minerals and micronutrients, helps to strengthen the immune system.Days 7-14: Three times a day, give your child one dose of American ginseng . This is another excellent source of trace minerals and micronutrients that will help to strengthen your child's internal defenses.Note: Neither astragalus nor American ginseng should be given if a fever.or any other signs of infection are present. Gotu kola is very useful for wound healing and is a good general tonic. Give your child two to three doses daily until he is fully recovered.Note: This herb should not be given to a child under four years of age. Herbal dosages are as follows: Newborn to two years. One dose equals 3 drops of tincture diluted in 1/4 cup of water, formula, or breast milk, or 2 to 3 teaspoons of tea. A nursing mother may also take an adult dose of the appropriate herbal treatment. The herbs will be transmitted to her baby through her breast milk, filtered and diluted to the appropriate strength. Two to six years. One dose equals 6 to 10 drops of tincture diluted in 1/4 cup of water, or 1/4 cup of tea. Six to twelve years. One dose equals 10 to 20 drops of tincture, 1/2 cup of tea, or 1 tablet or capsule. Twelve years to adult. One dose equals 20 to 40 drops of tincture, 1 cup of tea, or 2 tablets or capsules.

Corrine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Corinne, If you are looking to avoid surgery, in my medical opinion, I don't think there is any alternative. Usually, when something like this happens, and it is not repaired, it can get much worse. After surgeries, to expedite healing, I use an infrared emitter, and a magnetic pulser. The combination of those two things work great, but either can be used independently.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 How big is the hernia? Do you really need the surgery? Have you tried hydrochloric acid with pepsin? Sometimes small ones will disappear. Any stress can be an ms trigger but if you need the surgery, stay on the LDN. It is the time you need it the most. Think of it as a safety blanket.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Usually the set backs are do to stress from surgery and from the other drugs that you use for pain etc. Check the list of things that you do not want to take with LDN and present them to your doctors.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hi Kathy; The Dr. said, at least 3/4ths of my stomach is in my chest, the Dr. said, if I don't have it done my stomach could twist, and that could be bad, I was given Prilosec & Acipfax which seems to help some. The Dr. said after surgery I shouldn't need any pills.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I still think for the next couple months you should try mega amounts of plant based enzymes along with a tablespoon of white apple cider vinegar. If that help, then get some hydrochloric acid with pepsin and drink lots of aloe, dandelion, ginger, red clover, take some primal defense and see if you still need surgery in a month. Also, someone here in the group gave you some excellent recommendations about propping your head up, not eating late and staying away from offending foods. Maybe this surgery can be avoided or maybe not but you owe it to yourself to give it your best shot.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Sorry for nosying in here... I'm not SURE, but this might be called an "Interstitial Hernia." I get them, and a chiropractor has actually pulled it out a few times ---hurts like HECK. He says it's where parts of your abdomen overlap inside. I lay flat, he stands above my head, leans down and digs his hands deep into my upper gut ---and pulls towards him. (It hurts bad enough to scream.) It gets really hard above my naval and burns and gnaws with pain, and it makes that whole area feel hard. This does seem to fix it temporarily, but it's reoccurred with me a few times. I'm too chicken for surgery... Good luck! Brigite In a message dated 7/20/2006 3:43:42 PM Eastern Standard Time, unicorn0692@... writes: Hey ,Well I'm not sure what type of hernia it was it was kind of a last minute thing. I went in on Tuesday to see Dr. Feng for my consult and just asked her to look at my bellybutton which normally was an iny but the top half of it had protruded out. I just thought it was a minor thing well it turned out that during one of my pregnancies the muscles above my bellybutton split and left a three inch gap which caused the herniation. So she suggested I just fix it at the same time so I did. Of course I have not been able to look at it yet but she said it went really well and I trust her. I was nervouse but the nurses are so nice they helped me relax. Honestly the most uncomfortable part is the binding. It's really tight and she said it's important to keep it that way for at least two weeks. As you know you'll be in good hands. I'm sure she will do a great job for you. I'm glad to have gotten it all done at once. The Wild Oats store is great. We shopped there before my surgery so that I could be stocked up with good food.Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
