Thankyou, my instinct tells me that your recommendations are the way to go. I am just so sick my liver cannot seem to handle any detoxidfying. If I was to start with juicing do you have any recommendations. I cannot handle fruit as the sugar increases symptom which I suspect is due to candida. Raw foods and enzymes give me terrible attack over the gallbladder liver. IN October of last year I was attempting to address my hernia which was causing severe burning over the chest and under the ribs which lowered my oxygen level by 30percent PFT.Due to the inflammation I couldn’t breath properly. ...

Thanks for your information. I agree with you 100 percent. Intolerance to wheat is just one of the several sensitivities I have developed since the exposure to sulpha. I have been gluten free for 10 days now fingers crossed. The burning through the body and intoxicated feeling when I wake is the most debilitating. Diarrhea definitely exaberates the condition immediately. Thanks again I will check out the videos Kathy   [End]

Hi thankyou for your response. My intuition tells me you are right about the blood purification. My liver is very weak.I ended up with hepatitis from taking apple cider vinegar trying to detoxify. I am uncertain to what a blood zapper is. Do you know where I should start or which forum. Thanks again Kathy   [End]

Hi, thanks. This may seem like a silly question I am just trying to visualize. I have castor oil here at home. Do you soak the cloth in warm castor oil? Do you warm it up and cover with saran wrap. How long do you leave it on and what is it’s purpose with the liver. Thanks so much for the information. Sincerely Kathy   [End]

Hello everyone, I feel very grateful to have found this sight. After reading several of your stories, my heart goes out to you for your pain and suffering and am thankful for all of your insight that has aided in your recovery. I am going to write my story as briefly as I can in hopes that by the grace of god someone may be able to share some guidance. I am a 42 year old woman who has a long history of allergies to sulpha drugs beginning at the age of9. I recovered within a months time. When starting university at the age of 22, I was prescribed Bactrim which is a sulpha drug for a U ...

Thankyou, yes I have posted my question on many forums. I will take your advice and post on this site. In regards to bowel cleansing any suggestions. Colonix or DR. Schultz. I agree with your theory of the antibiotic being the trigger. The only problem is I am so sensitive now. A homeopathic put me on 1 drop of R7 to open the liver and It increased my symptoms so much. Would juicing be better? How do I heal if everything keeps circulating back into my organs. Thanks so much. Kathy   [End]

Thankyou. How do you make a castor oil pack? I once had a buscapam injection for the liver prior to an MRI. The burning I experience went ten fold through the body. The next thing I remember is I could not get up from a headache so severe they rushed me for a ct of the brain, thinking I may have a bleed. It is another reason why I feel the burning is coming from an immune response or liver. The burning does not feel like nerve damage, it is an internal heat that burns badly all throughout the body. For example if I lay on my back and sleep it will intensify on my back from lack of circula ...

Thankyou for your kind words. I am uncertain about coffee enemas as I have been so weak and diarrhea exaberates the burning. I have reacted to every herb I have tried. I do agree with you that it is a toxic issue, I just don’t know how to start the healing. I have found myself on my knees praying for strength when my son was 2 as the pain was so unbearable. It Is comforting to know that someone else can relate Thankyou again and I wish you well in your recovery.   [End]

Neurontin is an antiseizure drug that for some reason blocks the pain receptors in the brain that causes nerve pain. There are many antiseizure drugs available older and newer. Gabapentin is the real name and lYRICA Is another. If you research anti-siezure medication for nerve pain there is alot of information. Prior to the neurontin I was bedridden with pain. The pain is still very debilitating however; I am able to cope a little better. I am unable to reach the recommended dose due to side effects with me. I believe most people tolerate these two fairly well. Do you have a neurologist? M ...

Thankyou for sharing. The nerve pain is throughout the whole body almost like a chemical rush of some sort. It is so bizarre. I cannot sleep with blankets as the heat will incease the burning however it does not appear to be sensory on the skin. If I forget to take my neurontin after 4 hours I can feel an internal burning sensation, nauseau and shakiness. I so wish I could take magnesium. I have tried so many and the smallest amount will cause diarrhea. All vitamins and minerals cause a reaction. Have you tried Neurontin for nerve pain? My mother takes it as well for her MS and has helped ...

Hi snobetty, thanks. It is reassuring to know someone can relate. In the same sense, I feel for you as I know the amount of suffering it causes. The burning is debilitating. Do you have any suggestions. The diarrhea was definately caused by the antibiotic and never calmed down. It is always after eating. Thanks xx Kathy   [End]

Hi Dr. Jeff, I was wondering if you feel juicing would be to much on my body with the state it is in. I read that juicing would be a quick and safe way to detoxify. I am just hesitant as the ACV put me in the hospital. Thanks Kathy   [End]

Thankyou natway and snobetty for all of your insight. I think you are correct with dieting. The only concern I have is with juicing. The naturalpathics have expressed that juicing would be way to quick for me as I am so toxic. I would be a little nervous as applecider vinegar brought my liver enzymes to 40 times the normal. I react to all fruits other than apple. May be a candida problem as well. I feel diet may need to be slow with no raw foods due to gallbladder pancreas dysfunction. I am just not sure what to eat. I know I do well with rice and fish. I could try juicing, I am just not s ...

Hi Dr. Jeff, I wanted to quickly inquire. Do you have any thoughts to why apple cider vinegar would cause a high elevation in liver enzymes. Also, several naturalpathics have suggested HCL for low stomach acid. I have tried enzymes and products with HCL that instantly cause water diarrhea and cramps resulting in weakness and an increase in burning. Do you know why I cannot take any of these products. If I had candida which led to food sensitivities which led to leaky gut, liver dysfunction and adrenal fatigue, where do you start if you have an overactive immune system and cannot tolerate a ...

Hi, As you mentioned, a diagnosis is not per say as important as recovery. There were no stresses in my life at the time. I was overjoyed with our new born son and the antibiotic exposure was immediate. I was rushed up by ambulance within 24 hours. There is actually an ongoing law suit due to the fact that it was well documented that I was severely allergic to sulpha and was dismissed. The diarrhea is always 10 minutes after eating and begins with cramps. It is like my body is expelling something it doesn’t want. The pain definately feels deep like nerve pain. Fibromyalgia was ruled out. ...

Hi there everyone, I apologize if all of my questons are overwheming. If my condtion started with candida, then peristed to food sensitivities and then adrenal fatigue, where do you start? Everthing I have tried has caused a severe allergic response increasing symptoms. I have seen 5 naturalpathics who are perplexed as I react to supplements they have given to babies. Increases the diarrhea which increases the burning throughout the body, fatigue and muscle weakness. Apple Cider Vinegar landed me in the hospital away from my toddler for a week due to hepatitis of the liver. I am so lost. T ...

Hi thankyou for your suggestion, You are absolutely right. Here is my problem. Following my first reaction I developed several sensitivities to foods and chemicals. I never took responsibility for my own health and continued eating a normal diet while working as a social worker for special needs. After my son was born and they gave me a Sulpha Drug, the diarrhea was around the clock. Approximately a week later, it was like a trigger. I awoke to burning throughout my whole body. I Would stand over my parents bed crying in the morning as I was shaking with prufuse sweating as the burning was ...

Hi Dr. Jeff, thankyou I will try the recommendations. The Gabapentin has been used for pain as it is often prescribed for neuopathy. The buscapan was only given during mri to highlight the liver and gallbladder and not used as therapy. I wish I could discontinue the Neurontin as it has so many unwanted side effects. I will try your suggestions and write back. Thanks again. Kathy   [End]

I do okay with fish, brown rice including rice cereals, almond butter, squash, spinach if cooked, nothing raw. Any fragrances in creams, ...

Thankyou for sharing your story. My heart goes out to you as well as my prayers. There have been days I have found myself on my knees crying in prayer as I have a toddler to take care of and my body physically is unable. I have alot of support from family as well. I hope you have a strong support system. I am fortunate to have an openmind family physician who has wittnessed the events following the reaction. He has sent me to every specialist we have thought may aid in care as well as ordered several diagnostic tests. Blessings Kathy   [End]

Hi DR. Jeff, Thankyou again for your thoughts. The first symptoms I experienced following the sulpha drug were diarrhea every hour or so with a feeling of the flu. About a week later I awoke with burning in the face which spread throughout the body. It felt like something triggered. The antiseizure drug they have me on gabapentin, apparently blocks the nerve receptors some how decreasing the pain. I cannot reach the full dose due to side effects I experience. The Buscapam was an injection given to me prior to my MRI as they were looking for problems with liver gallbladder. There were no ...

My DLCO is at 53 on the pulmonary function test with moderate restriction. My father suffers from familial pulmonary fibrosis and he is the 3rd sibling in his family to be effected with the disease.CT is gold standard and has been ruled out with me. As percautionary I have been referred to the Itertistinal Lung Disease Unit in Toronto. All of my other blood tests I believe have been in normal range other than C-Dimer and T-Cells. I grew up in Sudbury Ontario. I have not tried Gabba. Caffeine causes instant diarrhea as with most foods especially wheat, dairy and fatty foods. Sincerely, Kathy

Hi Dr. Jeff, I also wanted to briefly mention that my family Dr. has attempted to treat me with prednisone in the past however; my bowels could not tolerate more than 2 days.
