Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 May I ask how it was determined that you had leaky gut? Was this a regular dr? - NAWCHEM Tuesday, May 18, 2004 5:48 PM Re: No Luck One Love, I have been diagnosed with leaky gut syndrome, as well as rosacea. How do you heal it? My doctor gave me a metagenics cleanse powder and glutamine but I only did it one day, by 2pm I was in bed with a killer headache and heart palpitations and exhaustion. I didn't know what was in the powder that made me feel so awful, my hair started falling out the next day. He also told me to avoid all the foods I had antibodies to for 3 months. I had antibodies to white sugar, yeast, chocolate, nuts many vegetables and fruits all dairy and grains except corn. I only made it 18 days. If I'm not perfect do I have to keep starting over? I have noticed that eating a lot of these foods makes my flushing much worse. nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I have just completed my 7th liver cleanse. The first 5 had no success (no stones) whatsoever. I then had an appt with Andreas Moritz who gave me what he called " the big guns' protocol. The 6th cleanse produced about 20 smallish stones. The last cleanse produced nothing..at all!...I follow the Pitta reducing diet, my rosacea has not improved..except for the laser treatment I did last year..that did help alot. I've always avoided certain food triggers. A week ago I started having some mild soreness in what I think is my liver, a friend thinks it's my kidneys but I don't have any other signs of a bladder infection..in fact have never had any bladder issues...so I decided to do this last cleanse..without success. I am stumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Dear VT Thank you for sharing your experience. I admire your persistence. I take the attitude that for every problem there is a solution. Based on your experience, I highly suggest you see a doctor of Chinese medicine for a precise diagnosis of your specific pattern of imbalance. This requires pulse and tongue analysis, plus health, diet, and emotional history. There is a reason for your experience and it can be determined through diagnosis. Chinese medicine excels at diagnosing specific imbalances. Internal organs are the main focus in relation to health. The model of nature is used to identify imbalances. There can be numerous types of imbalances with names foreign to western medicine like liver fire rising, damp spleen, kidney yin defiency, etc. Two good books on this subject are The Web That Has No Weaver by Ted Kaptchuk and Between Heaven and Earth by Harriet Beinfield Your experience reminds me of a person I corresponded with who was not having much results with cleansing and diet modification. After numerous emails, I found out the person had candida, leaky gut syndrome, compulsive behavior disorder, in addition to rosacea and acne. Discovering the person has leaky gut syndrome was key. This changed the approach to restoring balance. Leaky gut syndrome allows food to be passed through the intestines directly into the blood stream. The number one concern in this case is to first repair the intestines from leaking with specific herbs, otherwise cleansing and diet may not be effective. If you feel inclined, it would beneficial for all of us to hear what specific pattern of imbalance you have according to Chinese medicine. This may change the healing strategy. I would be happy to make suggestions after hearing of your diagnosis. Make sure to have the doctor identify the details of your pattern of imbalance. I would suggest continuing with the basics of cleansing, diet modification and walking. Your persistence will restore your health. Please keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 One Love, I have been diagnosed with leaky gut syndrome, as well as rosacea. How do you heal it? My doctor gave me a metagenics cleanse powder and glutamine but I only did it one day, by 2pm I was in bed with a killer headache and heart palpitations and exhaustion. I didn't know what was in the powder that made me feel so awful, my hair started falling out the next day. He also told me to avoid all the foods I had antibodies to for 3 months. I had antibodies to white sugar, yeast, chocolate, nuts many vegetables and fruits all dairy and grains except corn. I only made it 18 days. If I'm not perfect do I have to keep starting over?

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Thank you for the information OneLove, hopefully I will regain my health THIS YEAR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Yes my doctor is a regular MD originally an orthopedic surgeon. He became interested in alternative types of healing when he found that chiropractic and yoga worked so well for some people. He practices holistic medicine on those that are up for it. Upon my rosacea diagnosis I had allergy testing: scratch test, injections and antibodies. The antibody test was IgE(allergies) and IgG. The only antibodies I had were IgG to foods which means that my body reacts to those foods like an outside attack such as a virus. I had an unusually high number leading to the diagnosis. I had a severe case of Ghiardia about 6 years ago which can lead to leaky gut syndrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 What is leaky gut? What are the symptoms? How do you know if you have it? Also, any thoughts on hair falling out? thanks Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi Carol You can find information on Leaky Gut Syndrome at the following two links. http://www.wrc.net/phyto/autoimmune.html http://www.gsdl.com/news/1999/delete/19990227b.blk/index.blk.html Hair loss can have numerous factors. The western perspective has factors like hormones, genetics, and nutrition. The eastern perspective has factors like internal energy balance and condition of internal organs. Massaging the scalp with coconut oil is one general treatment. The protocols for this group are also a plus. I would use a shower filter if there is cholorine in your water. To determine which factors may be causing your condition would require the diagnosis from a doctor of Chinese medicine. Best regards OneLove original message What is leaky gut? What are the symptoms?
