Here's what I have to give you from my experience. The digestive system was a big problem for me. Doc's program here stresses 2 things: get the colon on line and clean the liver. That means the rest of the body will clean out when you do that. That's the lymph, (the liver filters the lymph, too, as well as the blood), blood and tissues. You may find you have to clean out your liver, too, so we start taking Barefoot's dewormer and do it for 2 weeks before we start liver flushing. If you have to do that, then stay on the dewormer and just do the program here. It will clean your body of parasites and get your liver working right again. The body produces fat to have a place to store the toxins. Of course, diet and exercise has a lot to do with it, too. OOps, I heard you say you have candida. If you've got that, you've got other parasites, so if you want your health back, you'll be doing Doc's program here.

I did a lot of Barefoot's Lower Bowel Balance when I started this program. For some, it may take the colon junk off the walls. It didn't do it for me, but I'm sure it helped kill a lot of parasites in my digestive tract, the berberine in it helps the liver. For me, it was the Schulze product that got the junk off the colon wall. I think it was the bentonite in #2 formula because 12-15 polyps shriveled up and fell off. I lost approximately 10# of the colon wall junk. Schulze's #1 formula helps the peristaltic action of the colon to start working right again--that's moving the food along so constipation is not a problem anymore. I'm sure Barefoot's LBB does the same thing. For the Schulze colon products, follow his protocol and take the #1 formula to bowel tolerance. You can take it before bed or in the daytime, if you have to. After the junk came off my colon wall, I had to lower the dosage to one capsule at bedtime. The Schulze #1 product is a lot like Barefoot's LBB. The junk on the colon wall can back up into the small intestine. I think that's what happened to me. I had bad colon problems for 20 years and probably before that. If you've taken any kind of drugs, they can do a number on your digestive system.

Getting the colon and digestive system to work optimally again is going to take some time, if you've had any kind of big problem there for any length of time.

I did what I had to do one day at a time. All this is a process that works, only you have to be attentive to your problem and work on it. Don't be discouraged if it takes longer than you initially anticipated. Much of this program takes longer than one origianlly anticipates, but it works to get you back to health.

I used quite a bit of the aloe vera to heal my colon after I got the junk off the wall. That's a bit laxative and may help a lot. I found it soothing. I also used slippery elm tea that was soothing and healing. You can live on that for a while, if you have to. It's got nutritive properties.

I don't think I would do the psyllium right now. The colon cleanse is a 30 day cleanse. Not interrupted--40-50 capsules a day of the Schulze #2 and enough of the #1 formula to keep you going every day.

You can't get rid of too many toxins at once. You've either got to clean out the liver first or the colon first. Some can do both at the same time, if they're not too bad off.

If you're doing the liver flushing, then take either the Barefoot LBB or the Schulze #1 formula to keep you going. Your bowels have to be moving every day in order to be able to do the liver flushes. Otherwise you'll just be absorbing the toxins back into your body and it will make you sick. I had to start out with the liver flushes because my liver was shutting down.

It sounds like you have quite a congested liver, too, so you'll want to keep going with that. But, you have to keep your digestive system eliminating all the while, too. My body told me when it was time to do the big colon cleanse. I got most of the liver decongested, then started what is the 30 day cleanse with the Schulze products. I did that in the middle of doing this program. I'm still doing a bit of liver flushing and still working on the colon to get it working the best.

EDIT: Diarrhea is nothing more than a bad case of constipation. (Sorry, I'm always doing so many things at once, I often miss some important points!) I had diarrhea for 20 years. I took the Barefoot's LBB even with the diarrhea and it helped. The medical separates diarrhea from constipation. That's not the way it is. Diarrhea IS constipation. I even took some pancreatice digestive enzymes that helped. You might have to do that as I know how much it helped me. Digestive enzymes will also help get rid of the toxins in other places like the organs other than the digestive tract. That's if you take them between meals. You may need them with meals right now.

Hi, again,
I had to decide what was the most pressing issue--was it my colon or was it my liver? No doubt, it was my liver.
I did the liver flushes for about a year, then my digestion started acting up again. That was the clue to start the colon cleanse and get the junk off the walls of my colon. I also had candida that was contributing to this.

I had been taking the LBB off and on--hit or miss--for a year. I had gone thru 3/4 of a bottle of the 500 capsules. That was the sort of preliminary stuff I was doing for my colon before I did the Schulze colon cleanse a year into this program.

I was still liver flushing, but the colon needed to be cleaned out when my digestion seemed to be upset again. Keep in touch with your body and try to decide what it is telling you at any given point in time. I also had candida. It's good to take something for that thru the program. Olive leaf extract, coconut oil--cook with it or take it from a tablespoon, caprylic acid--there are products out there that have caprylic acid in them as does the coconut oil--grapefruit seed extract, pau'd arco tea or goldenseal tea. Rotate the products or herbs. I didn't do a whole lot of that thru the program, but found I had to concentrate more heavily on it at the end of the program. I've been doing this over 2 years. But I am getting my health back.

When your colon is rid of the junk on the walls, then it's time to re-seed the colon with the good probiotics. You can also take them before your colon is cleaned out. They help you break down and absorb your food. You'll do that better after your colon is cleaned out.

If you're doing this program, don't forget the other stuff you need to do, too. Celetic sea salt for the major and trace minerals, B1 for the adrenals and something for your thyroid like the dulse or Barefoot's tree iodine. A complete amino acid complex has the liver detoxifying methionine in it as well as the rest of the amino acids that detoxify, help rebuild, help with the depression when you go thru this. Protefood. I added some extra taurine to that, too.
