Herbal Remedies - Wife may have ulcer

[Guest guest]

Poneyboy it sounds like wife could have a hiatal hernia.I went undiagnosed for years and finally a doc did a scope and saw it.The main thing I would recomend is that she avoid caffine,coffee and choclate because of their acid content.I have heard alphalpha is good but it didnt work for me.Good luck to your wife

you may want to try getting some DGL (deglycerized licorice) at a health food store and have her chew 2 tablets before eating and also to have some powdered slippery elm in some yogurt to help heal the gut. Red Clover infusion is also very gentle and healing for the acid in the stomach.

My wife complains of nausea, and stomach cramps a lot, she has made the necessary changes to her diet as I brought out and things have not got better, this has been going on for some time. she gets acid also. I remember when I had ulcers it did the same thing. at the time I went to a doctor. however we would like a natural treatment. I thought of silver, but I would like ur thoughts on this. what is good for this kind of problem.

yes the vertbage...

With the many things going on with your wife, I really feel a total cleanse is needed..and a consultation with doc... The other question is does or is she willing to do what is necessary to be healed. In the past emails it sounded like she may not be.

ok...... FIRST THING... DECAF COKE IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS You might as well be drinking acid... Sorry! In fact coke is the worst...IMO.

Vitamin C....

It's my opinion when taking that much of one vitamin without any others you can have problems.. If you were getting it naturally it would be different.

Here is some info I have on hand... you might want to do a websearch...

 

Taking doses upwards of 15,000 mg - this large over time can result in diarrhea, stomach cramps, and nausea. These unpleasant symptoms are from the vitamin being unabsorbed in your intestinal tract. Besides, it's a waste to take such a large amount because the more vitamin C you take, the less your body absorbs.

Other purported possible side effects associated with high vitamin C intake include:

 

kidney stones reduced Vitamin B-12 and copper status increased oxygen demand becoming a pro-oxidant (a substance thought to promote cancer, heart disease, and stroke, the opposite of an antioxidant)

 

Vitamin C is a very powerful antioxidant increasing interferon production ( a serum within the human body that fights disease) and stimulates T cell activity. It's powerful antioxidant properties reduce lipid production in the brain and prevent free radical damage throughout the body. Humans evolved eating whole foods -- grains, roots, tubors, nuts and some grasses. Today when we isolate individual vitamins, minerals or supplements and utilize them without their working components, the body cannot always maintain its balance. This is especially true in the liver, which becomes confused in its metabolic role, with disharmonious effects differing from person to person.

Some researchers claim that unlike many other mammals, humans have lost their ability to manufacture Vitamin C and that large doses are needed to keep us healthy. Japanese research suggests that Vitamin C is generated from healthy human intestinal flora. Proponents of megadose Vitamin C say to determine your needs by taking the largest amount possible without inducing diarrhea. For many individuals, the dose may be as high as 10,000mg. Doses above 1,250mg have been proven to reduce chromium uptake and reduce the availability of calcium. This biounavailable calcium, a component in artery plaque caused by high dose Vitamin C, may be part of the problem. Possible solutions One solution which is always available to us is to use more whole foods. That would include herbs, high in natural Vitamin C, which do not create the problems that synthetic forms may. Try some green pepper, parsley, dandelion greens, watercress, broccoli and mustard greens -- all at least three times higher in Vitamin C than a glass of orange juice. Herbs high in natural Vitamin C are garlic, fennel, goldenseal and kelp. Another alternative would be to use the new patented Vitamin C, Ester C. Regular Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, stays in the body for only a few hours following ingestion. Ester C is chemically bound to a brown fat, esterified. Fat, which is slower to digest and metabolize, holds Vitamin C in the body up to 24 hours after ingestion allowing you to take much smaller doses yet maintain higher levels of Vitamin C in the body. Megadoses of supplements -- be it Vitamin C or others -- should always be used with caution.

I have got her talked into doing a cleanse, she is going to start slow however. our biggest factor right now is cost, so we are dealing with things one thing at a time, I realize her health is #1 thats why she is going to do what she can on the cleanse and do all she thinks we can afford. She handles the food budget so I leave it up to her what to get and when in that dept. We do our best to only get the best organic and best foods we can, however when we are at our last dime things do have to be put off. she went to the store today to get the stuff to start part of the cleanse. so I'll keep u informed. Let me ask u a question, do u think her vit c can be having any effect on her tummy. she takes about 15,000 a day I asked her to back off for a few days to see if it helps, what do u think about that? it was hard for me to get her to take

vit c and now she hates to stop even for a few days. I also told her to lay off the every once and a while soda, or if she just feels she has to have a coke drink decaff. she is not as into the natural way of doing things as I am, and right now it is hard for me to go total because of cost. our budget will get lots of leeway in march so things will get better, trickel down effect, just takes time to kick in. I don't lack much in getting my diet in total shape, and my wife's is not too bad but she is not as dedicated as I am. but she is willing to do the cleanse.Poneyboyherbal remedies , Suzanne wrote:> yes the vertbage...> With the many things going on with your wife, I really feel a total cleanse is needed..and a consultation with doc...

I have been taking 6 to 8000mg. daily of vitamin C for several years,

just as Linus Pauling suggested, it should be of high quality. This

is what I use:

It is called 'Emergen-C' -as close to natural as can be. It is

available at Trader Joe's and:

Hi Poneyboy,

 

I just had a couple thoughts on your previous post as well. In regards to your wife's soda habit, as Suzi mentioned, the stuff's POISON! If you search the archives there are some recipes for ginger ale. You might see if you can get her to switch, at least. The other thing, however, is you mention the issue of money to do a cleanse. Well, you'll have more money for the cleanse if she stops drinking soda! LOL! Honestly, though, giving up just a few "evils" which are actually harming the body can make other resources available. Also, the 3 day juice fast really doesn't cost that much. I think you'll find it's cheaper that whatever you would normally be eating for 3 days, especially if you go out to eat at all.

 

Anyway, those are just a few thoughts. Hope it helps!!

Kelli
