much bleeding in stool, dizziness, and arrythmia

[Guest guest]

dear group,

 

thank you for this forum. my beloved boyfriend is having some serious

health problems and he absolutely refuses to go to the hospital or see

a doctor of any kind. he is extremely stubborn.

 

he is 39 and for the past 10 years he has had blood in his stools.

for the past week, it has intensified. he is losing so much blood

(bright red) that he feels very dizzy to the point where the walls are

spinning and his heart is beating funny.

 

he is a chronic drinker and the bleeding is exacerbated by it. also

caffeine exacerbates the bleeding. two days ago he drank a lot of

coffee that made him so jittery that he said he needed to drink three

32-oz of beer to calm himself down. then the next day, he bled and

bled and bled.

 

he knows that alcohol and caffeine make him worse yet because he is

addicted to alcohol (he had traumatic childhood), he cannot stop.

 

he is a professor at an esteemed university in a social science field

and because of his PHd though non-medical he feels he is more learned

than doctors. he thinks he has super-powers. however, he loves dr.

weil and dr. perricone (even dr. laura!), yet he refuses to see an

alternative practitioner for his bleeding. he says he will read to

cure himself and he will abstain from alcohol. he always says this but

he is always drawn back to alcohol.

 

the irony to all of this is that other than his drinking, he is a very

healthy person. he eats organically and naturally; he's into wild

food. he also is a gym rat, plays basketball everyday, and lifts weights.

 

despite his condition, he went to the gym yesterday and played bball

hard. he was too weak to lift weights though. then when he came

home, he sufferred greatly. he seems to think that if his body can

play bball, then there is nothing wrong with him.

 

his uncle died of alcohol-induced internal bleeding at age 59. he

refused to get help, told no one of his condition until it was too

late. my boyfriend is only 39 but i fear that his blood loss and

extreme stubbornness is going to kill him.

 

i am so sorry for this sad email, but can anyone offer me some advice?

what can he do to help his bleeding? what can he eat? what

supplements can he take?

 

in summary 39-year-old male with these symptoms:

toilet bowls full of bright red blood

extreme dizziness

arrythmia (heart beating incorrectly)

 

he's an alcoholic and he's addicted to caffeine.

he has normal stools, not diarrhea, says blood is on the end of his

stools.

 

thank you very much,

 

cessy

Although some here might be able to point you in a direction that may

give you some ideas, we in all honesty cannot know what is wrong with

your boyfriend's health. It might be minor or it might be more. What his

specific health problems are must be determined before it can be corrected. He

needs to be diagnosed by a competent professional. What you are asking is way

beyond the scope of this group.

 

I suggest that your boyfriend seek help with his drinking and help

from some type of health professional to determine exactly what are

his problems. And if he will not listen to you, what exactly do you

think this group could do?

 

We cannot legally or ethically diagnose and treat someone here by

email. Number one it is illegal in the USA. Number two most of us are not

doctors or other health care providers. Number three, it is almost impossible to

do by email through another person.

 

It may be up to you and others in his life to encourage him get help.

 

good luck

thank you for responding. i'm sorry that i went beyond the scope of the

group. i just wanted to hear if there were any natural remedies that i

could suggest to him to stop the bleeding. or even what he could take to

help him replenish the blood that he has lost. immediately, i am most

concerned about his blood loss.

i wasn't looking for a diagnosis and i don't believe that i asked for one,

but you're right, to know what he should take requires a diagnosis first.

in general, though, are there some natural ways to deal with blood

loss? thanks much, cessy

---Gee, your friend hasn't much choice, but to stop drinking. If he

desires this, A.A. is one way that works for many. Because it

affects family & friends, alcohalism is best with alanon groups for

support & recovery of folks close to the situation. The condition is

grim, there are alternatve medicines of value, but death or stopping

drnking is the otions I know. Steve

No Cessy, You didn't specificaly ask for a diagnosis. but it was kinda

implied the way that I read this email. Otherwise why tell us his

symptoms family history, drinking, etc. if not to imply to ask for a

diagnosis? And if all that you wanted was what generally helps

replace blood loss, why did you not just ask that question only?

 

 

To answer your new question:

first.

Yes there is. It is to find out what is causing the blood loss and

then to correct that problem. In my opinion to do that will almost always

require examinations and diagnosis. After that then treatment.

 

 

When we have loved ones who might be ill, understandibly we want to do something

to help. but helping with treatment would require that one knows the cause of

bleeding to be able help.

You don't seem to like that answer, but I do not see any other answer

possible. If you want to help him, my suggestion is to get him to some health

professional to determine what is the reason for the bleeding.

Hello Cessy,

You can be prepared though. When he faints from the

blood loss you can have all the pertinent information ready for the

emergency health care professional to be able to examine him and

diagnose his problem. Getting help for a person who is unconscious

is part of the implied consent laws and is one of your options. -

Hi Cessy,

 

I can relete to your feeling very much. because I had a boyfriend who refused

to see doctor when sick too, and now till have a friend with boyfriend of the

same.

 

Alternative medicine to replenish his blood is not a solution. I suggest you

seek professional help to learn how to pursuade/influence him to make him quit

drinking, and get him to the hospital for a thorough checkup. Its not an easy

job, chances of failure is high, but no harm trying, right.

 

Gook luck & you take care of yourself too.

Irene

I must agree with your boyfriend. I have not consulted with a

doctor in over ten years although if I ever had (God forbid)a

serious condition such as your boyfriend is experiencing I might

reconsider and choose a different course of action. In my opinion

medical facilities are dangerous to your health. There was a piece

on the evening news regarding the fact that men with prostate cancer

would live longer without seeking the approved treatments (chemo and

radiation) I was shocked to hear this coming from the mainstream

media! Your boyfriend and I certainly have something in common

cessy. I do my own diagnosing and as you can guess my choices are

all geared to a natural approach to healthcare and I wouldn't have

it any other way. He should begin a vitamin and mineral regimen,

including milk thistle and dandelion and possibly schizandra for his

liver. He liked dr. weil, have him do a search on weil's website. He

has a lot of herbal suggestions for alcohol addictions!

I'm just curious what sort of alcohol he is drinking now. Also I'm

wondering if he or anyone else is aware that beer is genetically

engineered in the USA? This makes it all the more dangerous!!

I'm certainly not encouraging him in his addiction, however here is

some additional info which may prove useful in the event that he is

trying to stop ( and I hope he is able to phase it out with dr.

weil's suggestions).

 

 

" Since beer and wine ingredients do not have to be labelled,

manufacturers dump in a variety of unhealthy chemicals as

preservatives, flavor enhancers, etc.. Natural food stores often

sell alcoholic beverages without lots of chemicals.

 

Certain American beers like Coors and Anchor Steam have no

additives. Many German and Austrian beers are also toxin-free.

 

Try to find wine at natural food stores that do not have additives

and are grown with organic grapes (since grapes are sprayed so

heavily when they are not organic). Stores like Whole Foods Market

usually carry

natural beers and wines. In addition, the Organic Traveler's Guide

to the Wine Country may prove useful for finding organic wines from

California. "

 

Hugs,

Much appreciation JoAnn. My bf drinks beer. Before that he was addicted to

wine (2 bottles a night), but he phased the wine out to beer which he says

is less potent. He has bought wine at whole food before and i'll let him

know about the beer.

 

It's so maddening bc he's so healthy in all aspects of his life but the

drinking.
