Glad to see you are doing some emotional work in addition to the physical changes you are making. I think that is where your true healing will lies. You may want to check on your various health complaints and see the corresponding chakra for the emotional issues usually related to it and work on journalling out what you think your body's message is to you.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2000 Report Share Posted March 15, 2000 Hi Diane, I'm no expert on health, so I won't presume to know what is happening in your situation... but I have found that my illnesses originate in the emotional (or some other?) body, and filter down into the physical if the issues that are causing the disruption aren't dealt with and released. It's always a reminder to me when I'm not running at optimum to slow down, go inside, and take some time to pamper myself. Something I like to say to myself when I feel something coming on, is *Wellness Shines From Within Me!* sort of like a mantra. This is a powerful reminder to myself that I am choosing this condition, and that I can choose another, more desirable condition at any time. It sounds like you are dedicated to taking good care of yourself, and that's definately a good thing! I wish you the best in health and wellness!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2000 Report Share Posted March 15, 2000 Hi Diane ! I'm Gabi , new on this list and I had the same problem last year. I stopped smoking, got lots of vegetables, vitamins, Spirulina capsules and so on but I got one cold after another. This ends suddenly, when I started to drink about 1 - 1,5 L Kombucha a day. I don't know if this will help you. Do you know kombucha? It's a kind of kefir, which grows with tea and sugar. I think it's the acid in it. For that you could also try to drink this amount of apple juice. Not the acid from Oranges or citrus fruits !! Hope this will help a lot Love and ligth Gabi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2000 Report Share Posted March 17, 2000 Hi Redtail: There are also other possibilities, and I will offer you some. I would encourage you to continue to provide your body with all the water and nutrients it craves (just make sure you are not drinking *too much* water, it can cause an electrolyte imbalance in your body), but in addition, you might like to explore homeopathy. One of the main principles of homeopathy is the idea that taking a small amount of something will help you develop immunity or resistance to it (sort of like taking a small amount of snake venom over time to develop a tolerance to snake bite). While you were not " taking care " of yourself, you may have been inadvertantly exposing yourself to things that were doing this for you. However, in " raw form " and in the amounts you were exposed to, they would cause more problems eventually than benefits. I say this because I used to smoke cigarettes, and I was never allergic as long as I was smoking. When I quit, the smell nauseated me, the smoke burned my eyes, and I developed wheezing when exposed to them. Tried smoking again, and voila, no more problems. I don't know why this experiment worked, but I know that it is not worth smoking; it is better for me to avoid being around smoke altogether. Working on your emotions will also bring out histamine responses in your body, such as malaise, " hayfever " , rashes and diarrhea. Your body may be trying to figure out what to do with all the good things you are giving it (remember Lucy in the candy factory? :-) I have noticed that when folks go on a fast, or an intensive of some sort or start a new activity, they will " purge " . This happens a lot in weekend seminars; a couple of folks will inevitably " get sick " . Be kind to yourself, avoid spicy foods, take baths with sea or epsom salts, and hang tight. Things will get better for you. Oh, and you might like to explore the possibility that you are having a reaction to your vitamins/minerals. If you are taking an " over the counter " multivitamin/mineral supplement, you may not be getting what you need in the right amounts... maybe not enough, maybe too much. We forget that something as simple as Iron can cause constipation, and that the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E & K) can cause toxicity. And if you are supplementing with more Vitamin C because of the colds, you might be irritating your bladder, because what the body doesn't use, you tinkle out. My stepmother developed bladder pain and a rash from taking mega VitC. If you are into the supplements, look at them carefully alongside your diet and use them *as supplements* in their individual forms. redtail29 wrote: > I am on my 4th day of drinking 1.5 quarts of water in the morning.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 Kim: Garlic seems to have many immune boosting and antimicrobial properties. I have not tried using it for an antihistamine, but frankly, I eat a lot of raw garlic and I don't imagine it is nearly as harsh as chemical antihistamines, which really dehydrate you. I will admit, Ken, that my husband and I are very omnivorous and neither of us are prone to allergies or colds. It may be that you have a particular food allergy to complex proteins like red meat. Kim, I can't really give you medical recommendations, but it certainly wouldn't hurt your daughter to try garlic, since it is a food substance. I wouldn't take her off any prescribed meds without consulting a medical professional, however.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 Hi Kim, Kyolic can be purchased (inexpensively) at any health food store. A capsule or two after breakfast should be very helpful.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Healing with water: the work of " water cure " pioneer Dr. Batmanghelidj Tuesday, January 18, 2005 Those of you who are familiar with the work of the late Dr B. may own his book called " The Water Cure, " or " Water for health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty. " He's also the author of " Your Body's Many Cries for Water. " Essentially, Dr. B is the foremost authority on the relationship between the consumption of water and states of health or disease in the human body. As he explains in great detail in his many books, most common diseases (for which there are a variety of names such as asthma, arthritis, hypertension and so on) are really just names given to patterns of symptoms created by the body's drought management system. When the human body begins to get dehydrated, it initiates a drought management system that seeks to conserve water. The symptoms characterized by this drought management effort are given disease names by conventional medicine and then treated with toxic prescription drugs. Here's a straightforward example of what I'm talking about: the brain must be kept hydrated at all times. So the body, when it is lacking water, will do everything possible to keep supplying adequate water to the brain. This involves limiting the loss of water in other areas of the body. As Dr. B points out, simply breathing causes the loss of a significant quantity of water each and every day, depending on the climate in which you live and your level of physical exercise. If you are experiencing chronic dehydration from not drinking enough water, or from drinking water-depleting drinks such as coffee, beer or beverages containing sugar, your body tries to prevent respiratory water loss by producing histamines which close off the capillaries in your lungs. Through the constriction of these capillaries, water loss is reduced, but of course breathing is made far more difficult. It's important to understand that the body is doing this on purpose. The body is producing histamines as a strategy, not as a disease or something gone awry. The body wants to constrict the capillaries in your lungs because it is trying to save your brain. What is conventional medicine's answer to this production of histamines by the body? Well, of course, it is the prescription of antihistamines, or drugs that are designed to counteract the histamines produced on purpose by the body in order to conserve water. These antihistamines then open up the capillaries in the lungs, making breathing seem easier. As you can see here, then, the conventional medicine approach treats nothing but the symptoms, and in doing so it counteracts the body's own intentions and strategies in trying to conserve water. What patients with asthma really need is lots of water on a regular basis, not histamine prescription drugs. As Dr. B explains in his books, the same sort of destructive cycle of medical treatment is taking place with other diseases as well -- most notably hypertension and arthritis. Many of the prescription drugs profitably marketed to doctors and patients today are, in effect, various forms of histamines which counteract the body's efforts to conserve water. What we need to be doing as a population, of course, is simply drinking more water. But there's more to it than just that -- we also need to stop drinking beverages that deplete our water supplies. Believe it or not, most beverages that are consumed by American consumers today actually don't offer hydration; drinking soft drinks results in a loss of water in your body, not a gain in water. Once you drink one can of a soft drink beverage, you feel like you still need more, and thus the body is trapped in a never-ending cycle of craving for hydration that simply cannot be met by consuming soft drinks. What your body truly craves is water. Caffeine is also another water-depleting drug. Consuming caffeine in any form, whether soft drinks or coffee or pills, creates a diuretic effect in your body, which means your body begins to eliminate water through urination. Sadly, most Americans continue to drink alarming quantities of soft drinks, coffee and other beverages that actually deplete water from their systems. There's another fascinating point on chronic dehydration and weight loss that's worth mentioning here, too: many people who are attempting to lose weight end up in a state of chronic dehydration because they don't want to drink water for fear that it will add " water weight " to their bodies. They actually impair their body's ability to metabolize fat because they're afraid to drink enough water on a regular basis. In reality, being fully hydrated is a prerequisite to weight loss. If you want to lose weight, you have to give your body enough water so that it's no longer in a state of emergency. When the body is in a state of chronic dehydration, or a state of emergency, it will not let go of fat supplies easily. It wants to hold on to everything it can eat or drink. The only way to convince your body to let go of body fat, and start metabolizing body fat, is to drink a lot of water - enough water so that your body feels safe in letting go of unneeded calories. (Remember: water has zero calories, is low-carb, and has zero grams of fat, so drink up!) It's also interesting to note that many people who go on short term diets and who think they're losing five or ten pounds over a couple of days are really only losing water weight. They haven't lost any body fat at all but they have managed to put themselves in a state of chronic dehydration that will inevitably lead to weight gain once they return to normal habits of eating and drinking. Getting back to Dr. B, it's curious to note that he's a conventionally trained medical doctor, and yet, like so many of the doctors I interview on this site, he has the calling of a true scientist. He has the willingness to venture beyond modern medicine and explore the true causes of health and disease. In doing so, he has pioneered the understanding of how water can create health (or lack of water can create disease) in the human body. This is groundbreaking work and Dr. B deserves to be widely recognized for his contribution to medical understanding. And yet, that is precisely what is not happening. Rather than being nominated for a scientific prize, Dr B has been marginalized by the conventional medical community. His critics refuse to recognize the true role of water in the human body. And, of course, the tremendous financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry and the " sick care " industry (also known as the healthcare industry) all have a vested interest in making sure that doctors treat diseases with extremely expensive prescription drugs and high profit medical procedures rather than low-cost substances like water. This is an important point: there's no money in the treatment of disease with water, so there's no motivation for any organization whatsoever to reveal the truth about the role of water in preventing chronic disease in human beings. Why would a pharmaceutical company or a doctor or a hospital tell you that you can prevent arthritis, asthma, hypertension and other diseases by simply drinking water? They wouldn't. And they don't. Medical schools don't even teach it. Diabetes is also another disease that is strongly influenced by water consumption. And the diabetes industry is a multi-billion dollar industry of sickness treatment and prescription drugs. Why would that industry want to tell people that all they need to do is drink more water and avoid drinking soft drinks in order to greatly improve their health? The answer is that there is no motivation whatsoever for any medical industry or group or drug company to tell people the truth about water and human health. Not only that they're not willing to tell the truth, they're also not willing to intellectually accept the truth about water because it runs counter to their profitable paradigms of disease treatment. In other words, an executive working at a pharmaceutical company, who's making millions of dollars a year from the sale of pharmaceuticals, cannot psychologically accept the idea that diseases could be prevented or reversed by drinking something that would be freely available to the public. The thought doesn't even penetrate that person's belief system. And yet the truth of it all is that most illness in the United States can be easily prevented by strategies that are inexpensive or even free of charge. Two of the most powerful therapies for health and disease prevention are pure water and natural sunlight. I've written many articles about sunlight, about how it prevents and even reverses mental disorders, schizophrenia, prostate cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis and even nervous system disorders. And that's available free of charge, all you have to do is walk outside and get some sunshine on your skin. Now, with the work of Dr. B being published and widely available, we also know that water is one of the most powerful healing substances available to each and every consumer in the United States and around the world. It's virtually free; all you need to do is keep drinking it, and don't wait for your thirst perception to tell you when to drink more. You have to make a commitment to hydrate yourself throughout the day on a regular basis. At the same time you have to make a commitment to avoid drinking beverages that result in dehydration, such as soft drinks, sport drinks or any beverage with caffeine or added sugars. That means avoiding cow's milk, fruit juices, beer and alcohol, fruit punches or any other drinks that simply don't substitute for the healing power of pure water. The bottom line to all of this is that Dr B is a true international hero when it comes to having the wisdom to recognize the fundamental causes of disease and the courage to speak up about it and tell the truth as he sees it. If we had more doctors like this in the world, our world would be free of 90% of all chronic disease. The healthcare industry would be a fraction of its current size, and the pharmaceutical industry would be practically nonexistent. We'd all be healthier, happier, and we'd live longer. We would have less violence in society, lower crime rates, stronger families, better educational outcomes for our children, and we would even experience great increases in our collective quality of life. This is the promise we can have if we accept the fundamental truth that health is our right, and that many highly effective health strategies are freely available to us right now. At the same time, we must also reject the current sick care treatment system that prevents and suppresses information that would help people get better and that profits handsomely from a population that remains chronically diseased. Even after his passing in late 2004, Dr. B remains a pioneer in the fight for restoring freedom and fundamental health to the human population, and I strongly encourage you to go to http://www.amazon.com or http://www.barnesandnoble.com or your local bookstore and check out the books by Dr. B. They represent some of the most interesting reading you will ever find, and once you read his books you will never go back to drinking soft drinks, coffee or fruit juices ever again. These books will change your life, and if you follow the strategies they offer, they will even help you prevent chronic disease for a lifetime.
