I had my gallbladder out 3 years ago, before I knew about alternatives. It is VERY important once you get it out to not eat any cooked fats. These fats pollute your liver and will cause more stress on your body. I think butter/ghee and coconut oil are fairly safe for cooking, but try to keep the majority of your fats raw (that includes nuts and nut butters). I like juicing stuff like carrots and beets everyday to help clean my liver too. Also, taking a bile salt supplement when you eat fat will help you digest and process fat, since your gallbladder usually does that job (and now it’s g ...

I accidentally ordered online dried Peruvian Olives - I love olives so I bought a whole bunch of raw ones and these were advertised as black Peruvian olives. I added them to my order, not aware that there were dried. Nevertheless, I’m now stuck with 2 jars of dried olives that I don’t even like very much. They don’t have the same succulent texture and taste as regular olives, they’re rather bitter. Any suggestions on how to use these suckers up?? (I don’t have a dehydrator)   [End]

I tend to agree. Too much fibre can just clog up your bowels even more if they’re not working (there are always exceptions, of course). If you own a dehydrator, you can take the carrot and veggie pulp and blend it with soaked flax seeds to make raw crackers.   [End]

I don’t know! I was previously told by doctors that I couldn’t possibly get a period at such a low weight, yet here it is!

Depends on the type of scars. Are the pitted/indented or just marks? Is your acne in remission or are you still breaking out? I’d really ask you to ignore the very pessimistic poster above.

Are you sure what you have is acne and not some sort of other skin disease? That might be worth looking into. A naturopath might be able to help you, look for one that knows a lot of thing like iridology, herbals, reflexology, ect. You might also want to look at dermatology again if you’re truly desperate. A different dermatologist might be able to help. Not every doctor or naturopath is the same - each have different talents and abilities and technology at their disposal. It may take some searching to find the right one for you. I went through 3 chiropractors before I found the one ...

Cleansing stimulates a detox reaction - for some, they detox through their skin, creating pimples. Best thing you can do is throughly cleanse your body’s other methods of detoxing, like the bowels and liver, so they body will use those more often to excort toxins out of the body. The body usually uses the skin to detox only when the other methods of detoxing are too clogged up with poisons and parasites to get rid of everything that’s toxic the body. Also, detoxing can create an emotional response, called an ”emotional detox”. This can create a lot of stress and whacked out hormones ...

”How do your insulin receptors stop working effectively? .... This is a natural consequence that occurs when you don’t exercise and move the way you were designed to. Your body dynamically makes this adjustment because the receptors are not being used. This is very similar to what happens if you lie in bed for a few weeks; your muscles start to atrophy. Some have called this the “use it or lose it” phenomena. So when your insulin receptors become desensitized the only way your body can adjust is to make MORE insulin. You become an insulin hypersecretor. Why Is This Important? O ...

I can’t think of any reason not to eat the cherries, other than they’re very cleansing (especially blood purifying) and you may get a strong cleansing reaction. Pineapple is very cleansing too, the only downside is it can cause sores in your mouth (the enzymes digesting your tongue! heh) I can’t eat raw pineapple straight, I have to juice it for this reason. But some people (like myself) are more sensitive to this. The question I would ask myself is: WHY am I craving so much pineapple, and so many cherries? What’s in them that my body seems to need?   [End]

Remember, while it’s important to eat mostly raw food in your diet, it’s more important to cut out the processed stuff with sugar and additives. If you want to eat steamed vegetables topped with olive oil, or a baked yam or squash with your salad, go for it. It’s better than eating vegan cake or margarine, that’s for sure. Do what you can handle.   [End]

”my ed started after i lost weight from an infection. i couldnt eat much and after i recovered from the infection because of antibiotics” Have you considered the fact that your constipation isn’t really related to your ED then, and maybe more the infection and antibiotics? You might benefit from a really good colon cleanse and a parasite cleanse. Antibiotics tend to kill all the good bacteria and allow for parasites to enter your body. After a few months they can colonize your body as they breed and mess you up. I’m assuming you drink enough water too, right? 8 glasses a day? No proc ...

It’s not uncommon, since the intestines lose muscle tone from lack of use (no food, no digestion, no intestinal contractions) and those who purge are often dehydrated, which can also lead to constipation. Also, look at the foods you do eat - sometimes people with eating disorders will only eat junk foods like suckers and hard candy when they do eat. The sugar and lack of fibre (fruits, vegetables) can lead to constipation.   [End]

Anything can throw your digestive system off. For me, unless I see my chiro every 2 weeks I get a little curve shape in my spine (like a small C) instead of it being completely straight and I can’t digest anything. Who would have thought that the straightness of the spine could affect digestion?! If you’re worried, you could always do a juice fast or just juice everyday for breakfast to help clean your gallbladder. I’ve read people claim apple, pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon are beneficial for the gallbladder. Or do a gallbladder flush, if you’re so inclined. Listen to your intuition!

Noooo. The oils likely didn’t make you break out, rather the MSM in particular and any other cleansing you were doing probably did. Your liver needs to be cleaned out, especially after taking all that chemical medicine from your prescription. The breakout was likely caused by the internal release of toxins (some from your prescription) coming out through your skin. You will break out, but it will pass. You need to do an all over cleanse: colon, parasite, liver, kidneys, ect. Have you tried juicing?   [End]

NO. No recovered eating disorder sufferer or responsible naturopath would ever recommend you water fast at this stage. When you have an eating disorder your electrolytes are severely at risk of becoming imbalanced (if they aren’t already). This can lead to heart problems and even death. I speak from experience - I have had heart problems resulting from an ED. I also find many of the eating disorder suffers on here want to fast just to loose weight but use health as an excuse. Begin to eat healthily and normally and then maybe consider a short juice fast. Your body is already lacking nut ...

Nearly all protein is acidic, which is fine. you need a balance of acid and alkaline foods. Hemp is very good for you. Most nuts and oils are acidic too. I disagree with some of that acid/alkaline chart though, Whey Protein Powder has been nothing but acidic for me when I used to take it. It gave me horrible acid reflux. I haven’t had that problem with hemp at all.   [End]

Hi! I wouldn’t take kefir, btw, it’s a fermented dairy product and likely won’t make you feel very good if you’re heavily infested with parasites. You can buy probiotics in the refrigerated section of your healthfood store - take 1 tsp 3 times a day in juice or water :) And keep th bottles sealed tight and refrigerated. You should only take probiotics after you finish Humaworm though, or before you start and then resume taking them once you’re done the Humaworm. If stress is a problem for you, I would definitely take a good multivitamin (wholefood multi if you can), that’ll contain all ...

You’re welcome!! :) Basically, parasites can live in your system and eat all your nutrition, so your body won’t gain weight. Usually severe cases are caused by a pretty bad infestation and a tapeworm (or more than one) to boot. I’d suggest you start cleansing ASAP. Humaworm is easy to take, it’s just some capsules that you order from him (www.humaworm.com - go to his forum and ask him specifically about your problem too, ask if you should take some special extra-strength version that he can hand-mix for you). You take 2 capsules in the morning a half hour before eating, and 2 capsules a ...

If it’s an acne mark, it’ll just fade away. If it’s an actual scar and it’s raised, then it’ll turn white. If it’s flat and doesn’t have a purple tone, it’ll probably just fade away.
