If it's really long, put some spaces between the paragraphs to make it easier to read--you have much to share and since you are typing it one time for Blondie anyway, why not let us all take a look?

I vote post it!

Since I have been asked by a few BB members to post the yeast detox I thought too wordy, I will heed my suggestion and post it too.

Here goes:

The following is a detox I've taught to a few hundred people and it works well. It will address the yeast and other issues from the inside out and works in support of classical homeopathy. GWS is a shifty bugger but don't get spooked, you will be more effective calm.

Your husband's immune system is challenged so, you want to make the mechanical aspect of living as simple as possible so that his system can be focused on healing and getting back to normal.

Read through until you get to the good part and..the treats!

Simplify food: meat/chicken/pork etc. are hard to digest and contain tons of chemicals (steroids and antibiotics, BGH and By-pass feeding) and permeates most guts causing the immune system to work too hard and exhaust its reserves.. A quick detox diet is:

5-6 meals/snacks of steamed/baked veggies and distilled water for 9 days with the middle 3 also containing: a small amount of deep/cold water fish or beans (20%), brown rice (60%), a small amount of raw salad (10%) and a small amount of nuts, dried fruit or seeds (10%).

No dairy in any form, no seasoning, no sauces, spices, food colorings, sugar, soda, etc... By going from 3 days of steamed/baked veggie to 3 days with brown rice and then back to 3 days of veggies the intestines will be scrubbed and cleaned, elimination will increase--hopefully to 3-4 a day--necessary in order to detox and not a bad lifetime model, and the toxic load diminished.

No aluminum cookware, no microwave cooking or reheating.

Distilled water cleans the kidneys and does not contain the high number or organochlorides found in normal American tap water.

American milk makes excessive mucous, sucks calcium and protein out of the bones and delivers 200X the toxic level of iodine to the thyroid ( read Milk the Deadly Poison). Margarine is digested like latex paint.

A teaspoon of sugar greatly slows down the metabolism and soft drinks contain 12 and more teaspoons per drink...artificial sugars are just poison period.

With all this detox the "plumbing" must be in good working order. Please don't be embarrassed but I have talked a great many people into coffee retention enemas/colonics and it is a real aide to cleaning out the colon without resorting to harsh pharmaceuticals and purges...some people prefer a colonic (go to a health food store to find the colonic therapist in your area) but that can run $60-$90 a session and you might need 1x a week for 9 weeks or more.

In America where color cancer is the #2 killer, the subject of food, water and elimination is critical...

The 3rd area of support concerns eliminating the chemicals/drugs he is putting on and in his body. Even aluminum in cookware can have a negative effect on health so you can imagine what aluminum does going directly into your body from a deodorant. The fluoride in the toothpaste is compromising (turn the box to the back and read where you should "contact a poison control center immediately" if a pea sized amount is swallowed by a 6 yr. old...(what other "health" product do you know with that warning?) So you get the idea.

The above is the "more work, less money, deeper working" method...here's another approach:

Use food combining: Meat and Veggies OR Veggies and Grains (never meat, veggies and grains) fruits are isolated 2 hrs. or either side of a meal (except watermelon) No dairy, nothing with the consistency of yeast. No yeast bread--try Spelt or Essine bread, pasta only 1x a week.

Switch all foods to organic--use Coleman Beef from big stores like Food Emporium, and buy the rest from a healthfood store. Increase cooked veggies. Drop all dairy and sugar in any form (except watermelon). Ditto all unnecessary drugs, personal hygiene products and soft drinks/caffeine.

Use digestive enzymes w/each meal (must have protease, amylase, lipase)

Use 2 high potency Acidophilus (billions of good bacteria per capsule) and N.A.C.. (n-acetyl cisteine--an amino acid/precursor to gluthione) every morning on an empty stomach with a full glass of distilled water

1 Tbs psyllium husks in 8 oz distilled water each night or 4-5 capsules of psyllium husks on an empty stomach--this will change the consistency of the stool and release gas pockets (yeast) but everything settles down in 3 days

Coffee retention enemas/same info as above concerning OTC drugs etc.

He may need magnesium (6mgs to every lb of body weight) and an equal amount of calcium citrate. No iron unless your Dr says he is anemic and then use Floridix liquid (delicious and all absorbed with no toxicity)

2000-3000 mgs Ester C w/bioflavanoids (throughout each day)
400 E (at same time as C)
100 mgs CoQ10 (w/E or a fatty food)
1000 mgs l-carnitine (taken w/CoQ10)
1 Tbs mixed EFAs (fish oil, flax and borage)
Curcumax--Bromelain/Tumeric (enzyme and Indian spice) (between meals)
High potency vitamin/mineral--Lifeforce is good (no iron) (with meals)

So here's the treat, with both protocols you can have as much watermelon as you wish but chew the brown seeds (cleans kidneys) and the good part is that you will see results from the 1st day.

His troubles are undo-able...not with pharmaceutical silver-bullets but with care and love.
Whuf...Good luck, you can do it!

Thank you, Ben, for posting the yeast detox (and thanks Jarf for encouraging Ben to share on the BB)! My husband did end up having the cyst surgically removed. The surgeon sent it out for biopsy since he hadn't run into such a nasty cyst before. Apparently, it had three separate chambers which were all infected. We don't have the results of this biopsy. My husband had Epstein-Barr syndrome about 12 years ago and then encountered the mysteries of the Gulf War in the early part of this decade. He underwent interveneous hydrogen peroxide treatments after the Epstein-Barr debacle. These seemed to help him. I'm going to put the entire family on the detox since we are dietary calamity at this point! Thank you again for your replies.

Incidently, this is the first discussion group of any kind I have been a part of. You have all been very kind. I would like to continue the discussion of GWS in general. Would it be a good idea to post that topic specifically or keep going here?

You must thank Jarf for the detox programme. Jarf, I have one question, inregards to the colonic. As far as I know Chamomilla does an equally good job as coffee and is less aggressive, Would you in this case not think that could be better? and as I said (and you may have seen) when I get private E-mails I discuss them on the BB, unless the person involved prefers I do not. Generally I respect the privacy of the person, even if I answer on the BB, as I feel that they contact me because they may fell awkward if the details are posted, unless they state that they do not mind. is everyone satisfied by that?

The problem Ben with replying to Private E mails on the BB is that no one else knows what on Earth it is all about. Is there a reason why you don't reply to them personally as it seems pointless replying on the BB. If you, with the patient's permission could give a brief synopsis, of the case we could all follow what is going on. Thanks

Alright I will ask if there is any objection to that. Very valuable observation, which I did not consider, thanx

Hey! Jarf, thank you for the detox program. Sorry about the confusion.

Ben, With colonics, I send clients to a professional who uses only disposable equipment and clear water (filtered) with changes in temperature and gentle massage of the abdomen. Afterwards she offers an implant of acidophilus (bifidus) or an oxygen product.

The reason I encourage a mild coffee enema is because it removes the false mucosa lining in the colon which forms due to:

improper food combining, excessive food (especially animal products) inadequate chewing and incomplete breakdown in the stomach, "bad" bacterial overgrowth in the small intestines resulting in poor assimulation and finally, under stimulation of the peristalic action of the colon due to inadequate chewing.

Apparently by age 50 (unless we are speaking of 3rd world countries which tend towards starvation as the main problem but otherwise have healthier intestinal tracks) most of us have 7-20 lbs of plaque built up on the walls of the intestine which is home to parasites, fungus, bacteria, etc.

It has been my experience that coffee retention enemas disolve this plaque, but I have not truly made a comparison. I thought the chamomile was used for a "flush" of new matter but if it can also work on plaque then I will suggest that possibility to clients.

I have been told that in India, coffee is only taken in this manner but when I visited that astounding country, I forgot to ask--do you (or anyone else) know if that is true?

The problem is what to use when they have taken a homeopathic since both the above are antidotes. So far I just have them use plain distilled water, any other suggestions?

Also, I vote w/Ricky about sharing a case...the big question is if it's ok with the person posting the problem...which would be blondie.

Soooo, blondie, (you're welcome for the detox) what say you about the above?

[This message has been edited by JARF (edited 21 July 1999).]

Instead of coffee or chamomilla, salt can do the same. If you add some salt to the clear water, you may find that it also clears out the intestines. I do not jnow if that would release the plaque.

In my time in India I have seen both coffee and chamomilla used, as far as i know with equal success in removing plaque. Some yogis swallow a piece of rope and are able to expell it through the anus in less than 10 minutes. They then proceed to drag the piece from either side of the body up and down, to clean the intestines, but I do not think we need to resort to such extreme measures here. Told it only as a curious anecdote.

Jarf, posting replies to any emails on this subject is fine with me. ... They swallow rope????
