[Guest guest]

Basically a question for Len but if any forum member would like to pile in,

please do so.

 

Len (et al) Enthesitis and Inflammation of the lungs due to Ankylosinsg

Molly, did you mean me? (ien)

 

Thanks for contributing to my medical vocabulary,

I had never heard of enthesitis. The medical term

suggests inflammation of something put into

something, , and that is exactly what it is:

inflammation of the point where a bone inserts into

a tendon or ligament.

 

There are many good natural anti-inflammatories!

One of the very best herbs for the lungs is Una de Gato.

It supports both the lungs AND the large intestine,

which is its partner meridian in Traditional Chinese

medicine.

 

Una de Gato supports the entire intestinal tract, and is

known as " The opener of the Way " .

 

Una de Gato is immunity modulating.

Somehow it manages to support both people with

auto-immune disease and people whose immunity needs a

boost.

 

This is not that surprising when one considers that ANY

auto-immune condition has leaky gut as a contributing

or causative factor. Chicken and egg thing, who cares

what came first, we can address the problem without

knowing that!

 

With any auto-immune condition you want to ask:

what food sensitivities does this person have?

 

Dr. Phil Bate has excellent instructions on how

to figure out food sensitivities on his website.

Enzymes, enzymes, enzymes! Here is why:

 

Picture your food as little Lego constructions.

In order for your body to build new cells, organs

etc. all the little Lego bricks have to be taken

apart, so a new construction can be made with them.

The individual " bricks " pass through the lining

of the small intestine into the bloodstream.

 

If digestion is incomplete it is like having clumps

of 2 or 3 bricks still clinging together.

 

Imperfectly digested food particles can cross the

thin intestinal lining, damaging it in the process,

and end up in the blood stream where they don't

belong.

 

This alerts the immune system.

It sends out the troups, white blood cells, to kill

the invaders.

Great. Now you have clumps of so-called immune

complexes floating around your blood. Dead white

blood cells who have done their job with their

cargo of indigestible proteins.

 

What to do about this?

Figure out which food your body reacts against,

AND use enzymes, both with food and in between

meals.

 

Enzymes are like little workers that take apart

the stuck together particles.

Taken with meals they help you to digest your

food better, and in between meals they go to

work as scavengers in your blood stream, and

clean up all the junk that is floating around and

causing inflammation.

Dr Viana Muller has excellent information on

Una de Gato on her website.

http://wholeworldbotanicals.com

 

Her version does not quite have the intense power

of the liquid spagyric extract, which you will

find here: http://wildhealing.net

 

Finally, last but not least, let's remember that

ankylosing spondylitis was the illness that Norman

Cousins cured himself of with the help of laughter

and massive vitamin C.

He wrote " Anatomy of an illness " .

 

So, bring on the Marx brothers, and use some

Emotional Freedom Technique along with whatever

else you are doing!

 

The following link goes straight to a case history

where EFT made a difference in Ankylosing Spondylitis.

There. That's my two cents. Keep us posted please!
