Guest guest Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I hate to keep saying the same thing, but I truly believe that the best thing she can do is to completely stop eating any and all processed foods. Eat ONLY whole, unprocessed, organic foods (that means no pop, no McDonalds, nothing out of a box, etc.) Just doing that will stabilize her blood sugar. You may also be surprised at how many other symptoms improve with this change. Once she has stabilized on whole, unprocessed, organic foods, she might consider the juice cleanse. The type of juice determines the impact on blood sugar as well.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I think getting her body cleaned up will help the symptoms of hernia. As far as the diagnosis itself, I'm NOT a doctor, I'm NOT a health professional, I'm not anything official - this is just my opinon. I believe that hiatal hernia is one of those conditions that gets GROSSLY overdiagnosed. When a doctor can figure out no other solution, they diagnose hiatal hernia. Their solutions are drugs and surgery. They rarely address overall diet (at best they say avoid this and this). Our bodies are designed to be healthy. We've trashed them with an onslaught of non-food and environmental chemicals. - and then we wondery why they don't work right - let's go in a FIX IT! I'm sorry, this is a little rant I go on now and again, probably far more than you wanted to read. My personal opinion is that COMPLETELY changing her diet to real, whole, unprocessed food will help her symptoms.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hi All, I'm Sherry aka s.a.m a newbie to the list. I just had hernia surgery 11/24. About 8 years ago I went in for a pain in my left side and a very distinct lump. The doctor said he thought it was just a fatty tumor and to leave it alone unless it began to grow or hurt bad. Well it did so in I went and once he got in there it was a large hernia. Well he sewed the patch on the muscle wall so the intestine couldn't push through. I'm still sore but glad it's over. I've had a lot of intestinal problems over the years since I was a kid. I was always very constipated and when I was about 20 all of a sudden found I no longer had the urge to have a bowl movement. Laxatives were to no avail so I had to resort to enemas. I'd been to many many doctors including natural ones. I always as a kid ate tons of raw veggies and apples, plums, pears which didn't help either. In 1990 I finally found a doctor an internist who stumbled across a "white paper" on my problem. Many women have way way to much intestine. So I went in and had surgery. Wow! A person is supposed to have 6 ft. of large intestine. I had 18 ft. They removed the excess and I could once again go normally but it only lasted 5 years. Now I'm back to enemas again and have been the organic natural unprocessed food route but that apparently isn't the problem. I've been talking to a naturopath who owns a large company. I've taken all the various herbal things, done the colon cleanse all to no avail. When I had my hernia surgery I asked my surgeon if the intestine could have stretched that much and if it were possible I had to much again and he said no but taking enemas will not hurt anyone and he thinks they are actually good for a person and the naturopath agrees. I'm very tired of having to take enemas in order to have a BM but it is a condition I have to live with. I do take an herbal laxative which worked for awhile but don't anymore. s.a.m maddress herbal remedies Saturday, December 17, 2005 8:50 AM RE: Herbal Remedies - hernia question I think getting her body cleaned up will help the symptoms of hernia.As far as the diagnosis itself, I'm NOT a doctor, I'm NOT a health professional, I'm not anything official - this is just my opinon.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hello, I am sorry that some of the replies do not have a clue as to what they are talking about, e.g., hiatal hernia is actually in the region of the diaphragm where the esophagus enters the stomach -- in this case, either a part of the esophagus itself or a part of the stomach (possibly other abdominal tissue) protrude upward through a weakness or tear in the fascia surrounding the esophagus -- HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LARGE INTESTINE. For a more regulatable herbal laxative try "Senna leaves" For a more drastic herbal laxative try "Da Huang" -- you will go whether you want to or not. In either case, seep or boil the herbs in water and allow to cool and drink -- do not take pills or capsules of the herbs since humans are not ruminants (like goats, cows, etc.) we cannot digest cellulose and therefore will get little or no benefit from whole or ground herbs. You may want to check with an MD to get a "barium scan" to see if there is an obstruction or cohesions, etc. in the large intestine (regretfully may require a barium enema).

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Sherry, I just read your post and I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. I do know that cascara sagrada will make your bowels move. Also as I was reading, I was thinking about mucus, perhaps a layer of mucus has turned down the nerve endings in the bowls or perhaps you should look in the files for the brain and nerve tonics. I'm just thinking out loud here, it's how I problem solve. But if it's nerves that give the signal to the bowels to work, then that might be a good place to start. I would still maintain the organic as much as possible and also definately do the Total Tonic from the files, but definately think about the nerve repair or brain stuff.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I can tell you what work wonders for me is doing a fast and working on the colon with Formula #1 and #2. When I did that from day 16 to day 37 on the fast I had 14 feet of black hard solid stuff come out and believe me by that time on a fast you do not have lose stuff floating around. When I returned to eating I would eat and poop, I would wake up and poop, it was great I never had a colon that worked that way. I got all that old built sludge that was stuck out of me.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hi Debra, OK, what the heck I've tried everything else over the past 38 years. The catalog that I get "my stuff" from has something called "colon enhancer" It says: Take this product for 3 months. When taken as directed, it will loosen the tough, mucous coating on the intestinal walls and help dislodge it out of the body. It contains black walnut hulls, golden seal root, organic wheat grass, citrus pectin, bentonite, psyllium seed husks, vitamin C. You take this according to your weight. The problem is it says the weight scale is on another page but it's not there so, I'll have to call. Since I'm having knee replacement surgery soon I'm not sure I should do this before I heal up enough to get to the bathroom in a hurry. I'll be using a walker for 6 weeks followed by a cane for another 6. Is this similar to what is in the archives?

A person is supposed to have 6 ft. of large intestine. I had 18 ft. They removed the excess and I could once again go normally but it only lasted 5 years. Now I'm back to enemas again and have been the organic natural unprocessed food route but that apparently isn't the problem. I've been talking to a naturopath who owns a large company. I've taken all the various herbal things, done the colon cleanse all to no avail. When I had my hernia surgery I asked my surgeon if the intestine could have stretched that much and if it were possible I had to much again and he said no but taking enemas will not hurt anyone and he thinks they are actually good for a person and the naturopath agrees. I'm very tired of having to take enemas in order to have a BM but it is a condition I have to live with. I do take an herbal laxative which worked for awhile but don't anymore. s.a.m maddress herbal remedies Saturday, December 17, 2005 8:50 AM RE: Herbal Remedies - hernia question I think getting her body cleaned up will help the symptoms of hernia.As far as the diagnosis itself, I'm NOT a doctor, I'm NOT a health professional, I'm not anything official - this is just my opinon. I believe that hiatal hernia is one of those conditions that gets GROSSLY overdiagnosed. When a doctor can figure out no other solution, they diagnose hiatal hernia. Their solutions are drugs and surgery. They rarely address overall diet (at best they say avoid this and this). Our bodies are designed to be healthy. We've trashed them with an onslaught of non-food and environmental chemicals. - and then we wondery why they don't work right - let's go in a FIX IT!I'm sorry, this is a little rant I go on now and again, probably far more than you wanted to read. My personal opinion is that COMPLETELY changing her diet to real, whole, unprocessed food will help her symptoms.Terri-angel <godblessedmewithanangelherbal remedies Subject: RE: Herbal Remedies - hernia questionFri, 16 Dec 2005 22:30:16 -0800 (PST)> > yes..you are right and she has been changeing her eating im very > proud of her actually b/c she was one of them ppl that it was hard > to convince what she was actually doing to herself but she > relized it and has been making changes..thank you for replying...so > do u think that with the hernea's this would also help?? or does > anyone else know...??

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 One time many, many years ago I actually swallowed a dozen Exlax. Nothing happened, everything turned to liquid but I never got the urge to poop so had to spend the entire night on the floor in the bathroom flushing. Sherry - Gina Kopera herbal remedies Sunday, December 18, 2005 7:59 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - hernia question I can tell you what work wonders for me is doing a fast and working on the colon with Formula #1 and #2. When I did that from day 16 to day 37 on the fast I had 14 feet of black hard solid stuff come out and believe me by that time on a fast you do not have lose stuff floating around. When I returned to eating I would eat and poop, I would wake up and poop, it was great I never had a colon that worked that way. I got all that old built sludge that was stuck out of me.
