hello all

[Guest guest]

Hello, sorry I haven't been posting lately. I have started a seasonal job at a gift shop, so we'll see how that goes. I am not used to being on my feet this much. I hope everyone is well. Kathy, if you are reading, do you think you can check in here or in private to tell me how you are doing? Thanks,

 

Please feel free to post anything that interests you.

Take care, Kel

I want to apologize if I came on too strong about allopathic drugs. I am

very biased against them from my own personal experience with lupus. I have

found that they all make me worse in the long run. I took a lot of medicines

throughout the years, Plaquenil, Prednisone, Trazodone, all kinds of

antidepressants, Naprosyn, you name it. They ALL made my lupus worse in the

long run. They may help symptoms temporarily, but activate autoimmunity,

just like candida does. Kel is totally correct in saying that candida is a

very serious problem. I know I have it and it contributes to my lupus.

 

The Gerson Therapy is an excellent therapy for anyone, including those with

lupus. However, as Kel said, it is very demanding and, as she indicated,

someone with lupus should only do 2-3 enemas a day and the rule of thumb is

2.5 juices per enema. Personally, I can only handle 1 and a half enemas, but

without them, I feel horrible. I do want to stress that it is important to

have a naturopath or Gerson certified physician or nutritionist overseeing

your case, so that they check your blood test results, etc.

 

Regarding food allergies, they can be deadly. I would recommend having a

blood food allergy test done. Skin tests are not accurate for food

allergies.

 

I am not a close-minded know-it-all, even if I might sound that way. It is

hard to convey things via e-mail; a lot is lost in the translation. I am

just a sick person like many of you who has gone to hell and back. If my

experiences can help even a tiny bit, then what I say is worth something. I

feel I have found something that truly heals people and I am excited about

communicating that. I just want to help others avoid some of the mistakes I

have made throughout the years.

 

Best to everyone,

Amelia

Hello All

 

It is said in the 2000 Gerson Book, The Gerson Therapy, that people

with lupus and autoimmune diseases need to start out the therapy

slowly, only doing 2 to 3 enemas a day, and perhaps substituting

chamomile for coffee if possible. Lupus occurs because of tons of

toxins including the biproducts of estrogen. Plus, estrogen

stimulates the systemic growth of candida and the candida die off

itself can be brutal. I hope no one leaves the group. I am the owner

and I welcome all input, whether natural or allopathic by nature. I

am one to have a free-speaking group. Although I do gravitate toward

natural healing, I am also interested in what people say about " man-

made " drugs. Most, if not all, man-made drugs are the molecular twins

of NATURALLY occuring " drugs " . For instance, in lupus, the drug

Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) is a simulated version of the

composition of the bark of a tree which I believe is called the

Chinchona tree in South America. Apparently, a company cannot make

enough money from selling the real bark and so the drug companies

make their own, which is obviously inferior to the real thing. Most

doctors are ignorant pawns of the drug companies. When looking for

natural healing info and protocols, I find a good thing to do is to

follow the people who live a long life. It is a simple way to look at

it, but the proof is in the pudding. Dr. Johanna Budwig lived to her

90s. Dr. David Kelly (whom I believe cured his own pancreatic cancer

in his fifties) lived to be 80ish or beyond...and Charlotte Gerson,

is close to 90 now.

 

Something that is bothering me at this time is the

gastroenterologists' general lack of knowledge and acceptance of

candida as a potent autoimmune trigger. How many gastroenterologists

would offer their patients an acidophilus supplement? It seems,

nothing has changed from my twenties when the gastro doctor I had

said that my bowels bleeding had NOTHING to do with the food I ate.

Now I know the colitis I had all those years was due to food

allergies (wheat and milk), bad bacteria in bowel, and stress. But

the main culprit was the FOOD. Unbelievable. And to all of you who

have arthritis, when I give up wheat and milk, I do not have

arthritis. So hopefully, this will help you as well.

 

I hope no one leaves the group. I am glad the person who was taking

cymbalta is feeling better. I do not know much about this drug. As I

said before, I am open-minded. Amelia is as well, but she just needed

to know the details of how the Gerson Therapy didn't work for you. IT

is a rigid therapy which I have never attempted in its entirety due

to my autoimmune problems, but I believe in the simple, common-sense

approaches within it. Take care, Kelly
