Emergency!!! Need reply right away!

June 23, 2002

I had a seizure this morning. My husband gave me a dose of lobelia which did immediately stop it. However, in giving me the lobelia, I bit off 1 inch off of the tip of the dropper. He tried to get it out of my mouth but before he could, I, of course, chewed it up and swallowed it. Is there anything I can do about internal bleeding? Is there anything I can do that would flush the glass out of my system without cutting my insides up?? Or is this a situation where I will have to go to a medical emergency room to take care of?? I know what I can do for the seizures myself-- I have a handle on that. I know what has been going on that has triggered it. I was trying to take care of it before now but my measures weren't strong enough. I am trying to keep out of a hospital emergency room because they would try to put me back on my pharmaceuticals and although they may control my seizures they do come with side effects that do not help me at all. So, any suggestions that could help me take care of this the naturopathic way would be greatly appreciated!!

Dear Becky,

You need to immediately switch over to all raw foods, and take 6 heaping teaspoons of IC#2 every 2 hours for the next 3 days. This will get it all out. If you have less then 2 bowel movements a day, you should also take the IC#1 to ensure you don't plug up on the IC#2. The Cayenne in the IC#1 will also stop any bleeding should you cut the internal wall of the intestines at all. If you do not have the makings for IC#2, then go to your local healthfood store and take 1 tablespoon of psyllium seed and husk every two hours up to 6 times. Add to that some slippery elm bark if you can lay your hands on any.

Call me tomorrow during my office hours if I can be of any further help.

Love,

Doc
