cleansing and other concerns- please advise

[Guest guest]

I have similar issues. I have been desperately trying to find a way to cleanse my system but so far I havent found one I would be able to use including the #1 and #2 colon cleanses listed here. I have trouble chewing and swallowing because of myasthenia gravis and that has aided in bringing back candida troubles since my abilities to eat foods I should be has become so restricted. I'm finally strong enough that I have started eating a good salad for lunch or dinner daily which has worked on its own quite a bit to keep things "clearing out" thankfully however I desperately want to completely flush my body well. I am forced to take a considerable amount of rx medications - believe me, I refuse many of the less needed ones, like the antidepressant they want me to take as a "precaution" as I have no depression or any symptoms of it, in fact I am an unusually chipper person which shocks many because of how ill I am - but the worst is having to take the prednisone and the mestinon which without using I was in the ER from inability to breathe so I'm sure you understand why I allow those meds. I am on minimal doses of them also, just enough to keep me out of the er or drs office.

 

I take as many antioxidants as I am able to, some are not good to mix with either MG or the meds for MG but I really would love more ideas. especially if anyone knows what I can do to reduce the weight issues from the prednisone since I can barely go to bathroom independantly let alone exercise in any way. someone had told me something about a lemon water mix to drink in the am and pm but I lost the info before I was able to use it. I don’t know much about it but is much of the weight gain water retention? that is the impression I have gotten from others. would taking cranberry help to keep the water ret. to a minimum?

 

what was the herb that induces you to sweat out toxins? I think that might be helpful as I cant get hot to sweat as the heat worsens the mg so I cant take hot mineral baths or use saunas etc. and needless to say I'm not even sweating out stuff daily and that cant be helping either. one other thought is could I use some kind of body wrap to pull toxins out, like bentonite clay combined with other things, either just applied to whole or parts of body or in a lukewarm bath?

 

this is really of major importance to me and I desperately would like to hear anyones thoughts on this. especially on weight issues from prednisone as my weight is now worsening my condition as it was hard to balance before and drag my weight and body but now I weigh around 200 pounds and im only 5'6" and my normal "healthy" weight has always been about 135-150 as I have a m-lg frame and HAD good muscle tone from exercise and always being quite active in life.

 

this is all so freakish to me. I never took pills in life, I refused to take painkillers offered , virtually forced, on me after the c sections of my kids. the nurse became angry with my refusal and we compromised by me taking tylenol , childrens at that! lol, they werent happy with me needless to say and I was lectured every 4-6 hours on why I NEEDED pain killers! I kept saying why do I need something to kill a pain that’s bothering you more than me? oh well- anyways , I just want to rid my body of all these poisons and get it working properly again! please help!

Hello Melisa,

 

The very minimum you could and should do is use the Total Nutrition daily. This will give your body the basic building blocks, which it would need to start repairing itself. Even if you took nothing else, this will already start your body's healing!! From what I gather, the TN alone will already start the cleansing and healing process: it's just a VERY slow method of doing it. The Total Body Cleanse will do it much faster plus has built-in solutions to prevent you getting too many healing crisis - which you do expose yourself to when doing it the slow way, or any other way. It is however a very good solution if you simply cannot do any other detox, and is certainly better than doing nothing!

 

By the way, the Intestinal Cleanse #1 is in capsule form because it is too hot to take as a powder - it is the only one of Doc's products which is encapsuled and for that reason.

 

love

thank you- I just have trouble finding things I can use that arent going to interact badly with myasthenia gravis. it can be rather tricky. at one point I was advised to take large doses of magnesium and it nearly killed me literally by sending me into myasthenic crisis. so my main hangups are magnesium sneaking in to things and anything that boosts the immune system as its already overproducing which is causing the trouble. so I had to give up echinacea and such because it was causing everything to worsen and fast! very scary.

 

I have been so happy to see how much hot pepper is used in these formulas. I love most hot peppers. I prefer cherry peppers but I like haberneros as well, I just think the cherry ones have a little more flavor, not just kick. I will have to look at the recipe for TN again but I can remove or substitue items correct? I recall seeing a few I cant use. this has been my biggest hindrance all along. basically the good old position between a rock and vry hard place! it can seem impossible to manage because of this.

 

again thanks
