Re: alkaline + probiotic vs antibiotic; Epsom salt..

[Guest guest]

Duncan is right on alkaline-forming. Acid-based is from too much meat, dairy and

grains (could I venture to say, unproperly cultured dairy; should not replace

raw veges etc components of balanced diet..)..

antibiotics kill the " bugs " in the gut, both good and bad. Too much antibiotic

use is also a way to encourage the wrong kind of candida growth. (Been there,

done that..) Primal Defense by Garden of Life, best price on iherb.com is best

probiotic on market I have found..

 

Epsom salt is used as a diuretic [sp]; that is, to cleanse the GI system..(It's

right on the package label...) I had a gut bug for 11 days that gave me the

runs. Nightmare. MD said can't do a thing for it, be gone in 7 days.. Well 11

days later I thought to go to Whole Foods. Bought some charcoal caplets. Lady at

cash register heard my plight ( I felt half dead) and said " Put a tablespoon of

Epsom salt in a cup of water and dissolve it, chug it and your body will rid

itself of that bug!!!!!! " Well, I did what she said--do not repeat do not do

this if you have to be anywhere because you *will* be in the bathroom for a

minimum of 2 hours. Could take hours more depending on your system. But your

body *will* clease itself this way. Then of course you need to also megadose on

your acidopholis [sp]. like Primal Defense 'cause that got flushed out too.

Recommend using Epsom salt in a worst-case scenario; but boy, it helped save my

life!!!

 

Dried juice of young barley plants (Just Barley found on  iherb.com for best

price and lowest heat dying I have found) is a great standby for active people

who need veges/ways to alkalyze [sp] the system. NB: Ease into these, they

*will* detox your system especially when taken on an empty stomach!! [Take

Primal Defense on empty tummy too...]

Artz, yes, the diet we use on this list is alkaline-forming and I have

no doubt it helps.

, Primal Defense containd bacillus licheniformis, which is

associated with cancer. It's kind of creepy that people will use it at

all.

Duncan -- THANKS for your reply and for the info on the alkaline diet.

I'll do a search to find it.

-- by bugs in the gut, do you mean something akin to

parasites. bad gut bugs, or do you mean a flu bug??? Thanks for the

info on Epsom salts, but I'm not really understanding what you used it

for though it sounds like something quite beneficial.

I have wondered if I have some kind of parasite problem and if that is

contributing to my health problems... fibromyalgia, candida and

Psoriatic arthritis... right now I feel a bit overwhelmed. Got the

last diagnosis recently and I'm trying to determine whether or not to

go on humira (some dangerous potential side effects).

Thanks for any further info.
