Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hi Lauren, First let me welcome you to the list. This is a very good and friendly list. We all like to share wisdom, thoughts, and recipes. We also like to help out one another. That being said I would like to offer you my two cents worth of help and advice. Well now, I would suggest that we need to get the machinery working properly that helps to process foodstuffs and raise our metabolism. This would entail cleansing your liver and gall bladder as well as doing a bowel cleansing. I would also suggest doing the total body cleanse. If you are gaining instead of losing then you are either eating wrong or something isn't working right or both. Do you eat flour products, ie pasta, breads, rolls? What about nuts and seeds? Legumes? If you are then you most likely are not eating them sprouted which means you are taking in quite a bit of enzyme inhibitors, which will inhibit your own bodies enzymes as well. 'Doc' just put up an article in the files about this that you can access. You will also find all the info you need for liver & bladder cleanse, bowel cleansing, total body cleansing and much, much more besides. I know you will find help and assistance here. If not from me than from many of the other, more then helpful advocates of natural healing, of which there are many. Again welcome to our list we are glad you joined. Don - Lauren Bastow Herbal Remidies Tuesday, September 17, 2002 12:51 PM [herbal remedies] Intro and Questions Greetings all, my name is Lauren. Mt husband's name is Jeff. We have 1 son named Hayden but we often call him "big man". I started using natural medicine after doctors nearly killed my sister with their "it's all in your head" and have some antibiotics treatments. They also had me antibiotics on and off for 2 years. My sister found a midwife that was very holistic and well now we are herbal folks. My husband is very supportive of natural treatments and of other "weird" things we do as pertains to the opinion of mainstream society. My question in this. In the past 3 months I have been subject to violent mood swings. I am spiraling deeper and deeper into depression. I refuse to go to a shrink for obvious reasons. I have also had rapid weight gain in the past 2 months in spite of a good vegetarian diet and exercise. I have never been able to lose weight. Everyone else in my family can lose their baby weight but mine is like a turd that won't flush. I don't want to go to an allopathic doctor because most of them couldn't find a root cause of a problem with 2 hands and a flashlight. Does anybody have any experience with symptoms like this ? I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you all so much for making this list possible, without things like this, we would al be slave to the medical profession.
