Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Dear Jenny, There's a wonderful company called Arise & Shine that make products designed to clean the system. They are raw food advocates but also believe that the average American does not have the intestinal track to handle a raw food diet. The people who work for them are very knowledgeable and could make suggestions. www.ariseandshine.com Nina I have a question for you guys: How does one regain health when the digestive system is in SAD shape. I have two friends in their 40's who would dearly like to improve their health, but they are in pretty bad shape after eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) for all these years. One of them will double up in pain if she so much as eats a piece of raw food such as banana. Apparently she was tested and she said her system doesn't produce any enzymes and she cannot digest raw food. The second one got all excited about eating raw food but her digestive system is so broken down that raw foods tear her up inside and she had a stool sample and there is blood in her stools from eating raw food. What can they do now? Juice fast? Colon cleanse? What is the first step when someone is so far gone? Is there a book recommendation I could give them?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Soundse like someone like that should be under the care of a good naturopath.
