The book is called " Eat Right For Your Type " I can look in my over 2000

need it.

Dear Janice,

 

Actually, the best for the immediate relief of acid reflux would be the Intestinal Cleanse #2 Formula. The Panther Piss should also be taken to help handle the condition on a more permanent nature, but your IC#2 is the immediate handling. Both PP and IC#2 can be taken in fruit juices and work wonders on children. Just remember your 150 rule as far as dosages are concerned.

Is Panther Piss the best thing to take for acid reflux?? And appx. how long before there would be a sign it is working? Also is this pallatable to a child - can it be mixed in juice?TIAJanice

[Guest guest]

thanx Doc

as this child is severly physically disabled I need to be as

cautious as poss (she came to see me tonight and only then did i see

the extent of her disabilities)

I can see the PP being ok but possibly not the intestinal at the

moment (this is all fairly new stuff to the parents).

I have started her off on aloe vera juice which has added

chamomile/papaya/slippery elm and also suggested slippery elm powder.

her gullet on tests shows as inflamed so my thought was to 'heal and

soothe' first

any comments?

I know this may sound funny but I raise orphan lambs

and one day I went to town and left my girls to feed

them well they made the milk to hot and burned the one

lambs troat ( what they swallow down) well for the

last week I have been giving him stuff to sothe and

heal it along with a natural antibiotic. He is getting

better and has stsrted to eat solids again. So in your

case I would stay away from anything strong and give

soothing and healing things. What you listed sounded

good. Hope it is better soon.

The antibiotic I gave was one I made affter some

reserch it is made with thyme, Wild Oragano and

Yarrow. In my case I grew my owen and tintured them

but one could buy the tintures already made and mix

them when in a need to get them right now Mine has

been in this tinturing form since last fall I just

pour some off as needed. I used equal parts of the

herbs.

Dear Janice,

 

When one is using the IC#2 in doing a cleanse of the intestinal tract, one is taking 1 heaping teaspoon of the IC#2 every two to three hours = 5 or 6 times a day. This ensures that the entire tract has the formula in it througout. This gives a person the famous "Roto-Rooter" effect of cleaning out the diverticuli, removal of some polyps and old fecal casings, etc.

 

If you take it 4 or less times throughout the day, you do not get this effect, but you will still get a healing and mildly cleansing effect. This formula has Slippery Elm Inner Bark Powder and Marshmallow Root Powder in it which are your two most effective tissue regeneration herbs and they are also very soothing to the entire gastro-intestinal tract including the stomach.

 

IE. Heartburn can be handled in under two seconds with a heaping teaspoon of the IC#2 formula in a glass of water.

 

Hope this helps ;o)

 

Love,

 

Doc

The "150 Rule" is the best way I know of to evaluate dosages for anyone, including children. It is based on a person's weight.

 

Most herbal dosages are based on the average weight of 150 lbs. What you do is take a person's weight and put it over 150 to make a fraction. You then reduce that fraction down to its lowest common denominator and that gives you the individual dosage for anyone.

 

IE. If a child weighed 75 lbs, you put 75 over 150 as a fraction thusly: 75/150 This reduces down to 1/2 = a half dosage for that child. So if the recommended dosage for an adult is 2 dropperfuls 3 times a day, the dosage for that child would be 1 dropperful 3 times a day. Get the idea???

 

This also works if a person is overweight. Let's say you had a someone who was a little chunky = 300 lbs. You'd put 300 over 150 and get: 300/150 = 2 This person would get twice the dosage of the normal adult. IE. 4 dropperfuls 3 times a day.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Love,

 

Doc

Hi Sara,

 

What is his diet like now and how has he tried to change it? Does he eat a lot of meat? Does he eat a lot of processed foods? Fried foods? Does he smoke, use drugs, take any medications other than those listed, use alcohol, drink coffee, tea? What kind of water is he drinking and what is in the water? Does he exercise at all? All the herbal treatments, or any other kind of treatments, are not going to do anything until the diet and life style are thoroughly reviewed and eliminated as suspects in this condition. Of course I realize that it could very possibly be hereditary in which case I would suggest that he stay completely away from fried greasy foods, fatty foods, processed foods. Or any other foods that create excessive acid in the system (hard to digest foods). But as I am not a dietician or medical type person it is only an opinion and suggestion. I am not qualified to treat anyone (No shingle). It is just my opinion that the majority of mans physical problems stem from his diet. I hope sincerely hope that your friend is able to overcome his problem without having to resort to using the chemicals the pharmaceutical companies are trying to tell us are good for us. Be in peace and light.

Sincerely,

 

Always your humble servant in light,

Don Eitner

[herbal remedies] Acid Reflux

Heya trusted herbal folks: I just found out that one of my dear friendshas a case of GIRD (gastro-intestinal reflux disease) that's so bad hecan't work. I would really like to help him. He's only 22 years old, andhas suffered with it since he hit adulthood. He's tried modifying his dietevery which way to no avail, and he tries to drink lots and lots of water,but nothing seems to help. Right now he takes a perscription to help easethe pain, but that's all they (the docs) have been able to do for him. They're saying it's partially hereditary; his dad has always had bad acidreflux too. My buddy was in the army and is in darn good physical shape,but he found out recently that his cholesteral is really high--overall275--and so they're putting him on medication for that too. (Wonder ifthose are related?) Can anybody recommend any herbal treatments for the poor guy? Links tosources of further info would also be very much appreciated.

Hi Sara

 

I think I can offer some relief for your friend. I have a friend who has a

hiatal herenia. I found out years ago of a remedy that doesn,t require

medication but, a modifiication in diet. Don Eitner post was a good advice

to stay away from greasy food. Which is hard to do if you love fried chicken

and deep fired breaded mushrooms etc.. I was passed on advice from a person

who had acid reflux due to a hiatal hernia to " Tell her to learn to sleep in

a recliner, the type that adjusts to three positions and lean it out as far

as it will recline. Eat light or don,t eat anything before 2 hours of

retiring. Than lay in your bed as you intend to sleep,relax and if your

lucky the acid won,t come up to lie in your throat -- *gravity* keeps fluids

down in the stomache in a more upright position. After the stomache has

digested its food during the night and a emptyness is felt you may crawl

back in bed to sleep the rest of the night - otherwise gaviston and

peptibismel is suggested but usually helps part of the time and can be

harmful with its association of charcoal and other minerals that can damage

to liver if relied on to frequently. My friend has tried this and it works

it is also good for (drainage) from the sinuses. This method is used only

when the acid is felt in the throat upon lying down in especially acidy

foods - my friend alternates her sleeping patterns to fit her course of

eating habits and knows about now which choice to use to keep the acid

reflux at a minimal. And cut way down on pan fired foods. Hope this helps

and can stave off harsh medications or surgery.

Definitely ask this fellow if he has ever been on an SSRI type medication,

including Prozac, Luvox, Zoloft, Celexa, or Paxil. These often cause this

condition. If they are a factor, treatment is much different, and more

difficult. It involves extensive screening for food allergies, and a very

strict diet based on what is found. This may mean even using tapioca bread

instead of wheat, and other extreme changes like that.

 

For those who have escaped this modern initiation ritual, treatment can be

very simple. If drinking enough water and cautting out caffiene haven't

helped, then some peppermint tea should help. Also there is this wonderful

Chinese herbal pill preparation that works wonders. It has two names: Bo

Hai, or Po Chai. It is available at almost every Chinese store in the Universe.

 

BTW, there is no such thing as GIRD according to the strict definitions of

allopathic medicine. That's due to the fact that this is not a real disease

-- there is no causative agent as such. The prescription medicines used to

treat it are technically psychiatric medications. This means that they work

on brain chemicals, fooling the system into producing less acid.

Ultimately, long-term use of these can cause even worse problems, including

cancer. What happens is, a lot of food ends up going through the stomach

undigested. This in turn can promote problems further down the line in the

intestines, as food ends up rotting there. Conventional treatment of

digestive disorders is a real mess right now.

Well something thqat helps me a lot with GERD/Acid reflux is Green Magma, or Veggie Magma. The natural enzymes in it help with digestion. I have had acid reflux since my last pregnancy and things just didn't get back to normal after the preg. I had wicked heartburn during the preg, and after the preg I kept feeling like i had a lump in my throat and food backing up into my esophagus. I think I actually have low stomach acid which causes the food to come back up. So anyway to Green Magma hellps me and my mother in law who first told me about it after she had bouts of acid reflux.

Also for me avoiding dairy helps.

Thanks for the great info, Michael--I didn't know about the SSRIs, but I

guess I'm lucky, because I was on them and I didn't get acid reflux! If he

has taken anything like this, should I send him to an ND (or a

nutritionist?) Where do you go for screening like that? Thanks again!!
