What should I do?

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed with Barrettes esophagus, I had a scope today to confirm

and the doctor sent off a couple of biopsies. Is there anything I can do

to cure, stand off, or make better?

Thanks,

Hi Donna,Barrettes esophagus is the result of damage to the esophagus by prolonged GERDES. The thing is, that this condition can lead to cancer. My first recommendation would be to start taking oleander in order to do everything you can to prevent the onset of cancer. You can get it at http://www.sutherlandiaopc.com or you can get Rose Laurel OPC Plus from Utopia Silver. The only difference in the two is that Rose Laurel OPC Plus contains 33% more oleander and may be more effective against cancer. Also, Sutherlandia OPC is shipped from South Africa and takes approximately 10 days to reach the United States. You

may also want to include the recommendations found on A Natural Anti-Cancer Protocol. Slippery Elm should also help.I am going to repost the remedies for Acid Reflux:/Acid_Reflux.htmHugs, Donna <dscroggs44646oleander soup Sent: Fri, March 12, 2010 6:39:11 PM What should I

Donna, I forgot to mention. If you decide to order Rose Laurel OPC Plus from Utopia Silver, using coupon code LR001 will give you a 15% discount if it is not on sale. Also, should you order $100 worth of products, you will receive a free bottle of colloidal silver.Please keep us posted on the biopsies.Hugs,Donna <dscroggs44646To:

That's a really big question!

 

My husband went thru this a few years ago. He'd been taking prescriptions for

GERD/acid reflux for over 10 years. During that time, he didn't check in with

his specialist and just had his GP refill his Rx. He also didn't follow the

doc's advice to:

*avoid eating less than 3 hrs before lying down

*eat more frequent, smaller meals

*avoid cigarettes, coffee, chocolate, fried foods, and foods that trigger GERD

response

*lose weight

*sleep with head of bed elevated

 

That's what I remember off the top of my head for doc's advice. He ate what he

wanted, regardless of any health considerations. He consumed enormous

quantities of coffee, dairy, sweetened foods, fast foods/processed foods, and

preferred to `wolf down' large meals which put him to sleep immediately after

eating. He ignored all doctor's advice and warnings.

 

When he was dx with barrett's, the doc scared the cr** out of him, telling him

he needed to take drastic measures because esophageal cancer was likely and had

a poor prognosis.

 

The biopsies revealed stage 4 adenocarcinoma. He ended up having drastic

surgery to remove the top of stomach and part of esophagus and started chemo as

soon as he was recovered.

 

That was four years ago. He was out of work more than 6 months. He is just in

the past year recovering some reasonable body weight, though he's still

painfully thin. He's also finally recovered enough muscle strength to feel

marginally confident about passing physical requirements at work. He still

struggles with `chemo brain'; only time will tell if it is temporary. He says

it continues to improve very slowly. He continues to require regular visits to

a surgeon to have the scar tissue at the top of the resection `stretched',

because it tends to tighten enough to make swallowing very difficult and can

actually prevent him from being able to eat. These are `maintenance'

treatments, after this surgery.

 

As an EMT, he's a dyed-in-the-wool, 'better living thru chemistry/prescription'

kinda guy. He went strictly according to standard protocols in treatment. I

thought several times he wasn't going to make it. Through all of this - and the

10 years prior that he was suffering with GERD – he refused to consider changing

his habits of when and how much he ate, to avoid unhealthy/chemical-laden foods

and beverages, and to consider that there were health-supporting

supplements/foods/alternative remedies that might help more than the

prescriptions ever did.

 

The biopsies will tell whether you have active cancer to deal with. If you need

resection surgery, like my husband's, because of active cancer, you will need to

make a decision about how to proceed. No one can make that decision for you.

 

I urge you to evaluate how you eat and what you eat. I urge you to consider

going all organic, and to do the research that makes this an informed change. I

urge you to begin complying with the advised dietary changes for barrett's and

GERD, as a starting point, if you haven't already done so. Tony's got great

advice on this. I urge you to do the research needed to find a way to replace

any anti-acid prescriptions with non-toxic alternative remedies, to consider

that lowering stomach acid production might be a mistaken primary approach to

this issue and that eating the right foods and improving the health of your

digestive tract might yield better results. If you can't do this before

surgery, and surgery is required, then seriously consider doing this as soon as

possible after surgery.

 

Tony's complete suggested protocol is excellent for support of the oleander

remedy's effectiveness, but also to address inflammation and to support the

healthy function of various systems. Inflammation is a critical factor in

healing. Tony's COMPLETE protocol suggestions are excellent for the support of

healing in a body overwhelmed by unhealthy foods, toxins in our environment, and

any illnesses that may yet be undetected. I firmly believe that inflammation is

a clear indication of the failure of multiple systems to function properly (not

just the obvious disregulation of the immune system), and inflammation is a

universal underlying factor in cancer.

 

For those of us who are overweight, this is also a healthy eating style that

will help the body to regulate itself to a healthy weight. In spite of our

culture's general position that being overweight is the reason so many Americans

are ill, I am of the firm conviction that being overweight is a SYMPTOM of

illness and that restoration of health restores healthy weight. Phil rapidly

lost a dangerous amount of weight, as a result of his surgery and chemo.

Changing eating habits will promote the healing process and allow weight loss

slowly and gradually. Tony's suggested protocol supports this.

 

Learning to eat in a way that doesn't stress or relax the lower esophageal

sphincter is important.

 

My husband is now beginning to consider voluntarily making those long-resisted

changes.

Before you get too deep into all the GERD technology, get a Heidelberg test from a wholistic practicioner if you want a scientific answer to what is causing your Barretts. That will tell you if you are producing too much or not enough stomach acid. If not enough, then the food just sits there bubbling up into your esophagus. If you want to go lo tech, get some HCL+pepsin at the health food store and try that with a meal. If you are low in stomach acid, which is probably the cause, then no more reflux. If it causes burning, just dilute with a large glass of water. It works, I have done it on myself and my wife.Ted--- On Sun, 3/14/10, D Ann <angelport wrote:D Ann

My experience is that most any HCL available at a reliable supplier (health food store) does the job. They usually come in 400-600mg pills. Also, FYI, one of the listed side effects of the GERD meds is pneumonia, because the neutralized stomach contents can't be digested, and bubble up the esophagus, and down into the lungs. --- On Mon, 3/15/10, Donna <dscroggs44646 wrote:Donna <dscroggs44646Re: Re: What should I do?oleander soup Date: Monday, March 15, 2010, 10:40 PM
