I have problems with pooping, diabetes, high blood pressure and kidneys. Enemas make me feel so much better. I was on a roll and had to stop the enemas temporarily. The salt water flush (is that what you call it) helps a lot and I believe the castor oil does as well. I know I'm constipated. I always say " How do you spell relief? S H I T T I N G. LOL!!!
As you'll see in my next article, all those conditions can be traced back to constipation. Yes, enemas are magical, but taking time off from them can help them become more effective during the next round. The salt water flush makes me feel uniquely clean inside, but the castor oil really digs in the crevices to grab a lot of parasites and yeast.
I am not necessarily wanting to have to do this protocol daily, forever, unless that is how you keep an colon clean and cleared. (?) That is why I am wondering what diet/food should eaten be to maintain a healthy colon. What is the signs one has achieved it and how to maintain it. With out having to have a "colonoscopy". 😅 I mean, if I could regularly chase a fairly healthy meal (not having to be too choosy all the time) with a cup of tea in order to keep a healthy colon, than I'd say that's the winner.
It takes YEARS to remove all the waste, but you don't need to have it completely empty to before you feel well enough to back off. It's really about how well you feel. If you have ZERO nagging issues, then feel free to stop. Unfortunately, I can't give you all the information here or I'd be writing for another half decade. LOL. Hopefully it'll make more sense in the book.
There's no specific chapter for it because throughout the book I talk about the many ways people end up with the problem and therefore what to avoid doing going forward. While I don't have plans to sell any courses or books afterwards, perhaps that's a different product I can create, even if redundant. As it is, the book might be considered overwhelming because I focused on introducing ideas and protocols most people have never heard of. I suspect people will save hundreds of thousands of dollars on healthcare, body care etc with this little book -- if they actually follow the instructions and don't confuse matters by introducing conventional protocols that probably conflict with it.
The ACV is with the mother in it and I then drink it diluted: Tabsp. ACV in 8-10 oz of water. Sometimes just those two and sometimes with added honey/monkfruit and cinnamon/cayenne pepper. I'm starting to add a pinch of Celtic salt with it.
This article had me giggling. I’m sorry you endured all that but happy you are sharing what worked for you. My biggest issue is I’ve been to naturopaths and did all the testing, starving myself to death, keto, gluten free, dairy free, yeast free BS diets that made me angry. I have no gallbladder which I blame keto for ruining. My uterus is gone but still have my ovaries. I’ve never had eczema and my skin is actually great but I do have wrinkles haha. Anyway it’s all new to me about the poop stuff although I’ve seen some stuff about it. I’m not constipated. I have the opposite issue lol.
I hear ya! There are naturopaths, and then there are naturopaths, if you know what I mean. The first group are like dietitians who choose the path right out of high school OR are conventional doctors who spot what they feel is a money-making opportunity, but no real understanding of the natural path. A good naturopath understands disease etiology deeply and isn't ashamed to continue doing research. You have no idea how many times I wanted to kill people because of the stupid diets I followed in good faith that they would heal me.....
As for the opposite issue, I've found three main reasons: either the body is attempting to flush entrenched fecal matter that is clinging to the intestinal wall, the intestines are so encrusted that nothing can be assimilated or absorbed (possible cause of wrinkling), OR it's caused by medication.
In about 1980, a study of autopsies showed that 80% of cadavers with NO HISTORY of constipation in their medical records had severe *subclinical* constipation. In one case, the colon weighed a whopping 40 pounds! Another was 12" in diameter with just a pencil's width of space for fecal matter to pass through. And that's when people ate way better than we do today and had manageable schedules where they could carve out enough time to go.
It's hard to say that keto was the cause of the gallbladder. Surgeons are like butchers who get paid by the cut. There are so many variables that could have caused this, such as the types of fats you ate before keto, which are plastic, indigestible, manmade substances, or a bloated colon that presses up against other organs of the abdominal cavity until they contort, then hurt when they try to do their jobs.
I actually had intestinal surgery, a CT scan and a laparoscopy, but no one ever told me. That's what pisses me off. I KNOW they saw it because they were in there!
Thank you for sharing the story, Adrienne, of your long process to living healthier and happier! I am sorry it took so long.
I do have a question about fermented food and gut health. Do you make something like, kimchee, part of you regular diet?
Also, I dealt with occasional constipation as a child, especially after I would over do it on a favorite food of mine, cheese. And I also think that my water intake was not enough, contributing to constipation at those times.
As an adult, not so much, although, recently after binging on celery, apples, and dried friut while traveling, I came home and felt an awful pain in my gut. It took about a week to pass/get over. (It felt like a lump right above my pubic bone, so lower center abdomen.) I never did do, what I would call passing poo in a constipated form, hard etc. I did get an enema, but for what ever reason didn't use it.
Moving forward to today, I first drank a cup of Acv with cinnamon and monkfruit sweetener. Then, had about 3 large cups of half caffeinated coffee with 2 poo and loose stool to follow. Then, drank a cup of the Chinese dieters tea and had cramps 2 hrs later and loose stool with chuncks. My loose stool continued for about 3 hrs, with 5-6x to use the BR. I also made a pot of Green Tea and drank that throughout the rest of the day with water, occasionally. I also ate food, so this wasn't a food fast.
Thank you for the sympathy! I kinda feel like it was "destined" to be my journey because I do apparently have a different way of putting different ideas together. I also find it hard to memory hole experiences... although I do often forget some things. But going through all that has enabled me to bring a different perspective to the issue. Not that others have not written about it, but I have been able to put it together with other hidden information, especially around diet.
I don't think the cheese was actually the problem. The cheese just made you notice it. Water also doesn't necessarily produce a bowel movement, at least not in the way that we are told. As I said, it made my issues way worse. What you experienced with all that fiber is pretty typical of being subclincally constipated. All this is explained in the book.
Did you drink the ACV pure or diluted? Sometimes monkfruit, especially if it's not pure, will give you the runs. Generally speaking, diarrhea is beneficial in that it's the body trying to remove the hardened or otherwise toxic trash. Is this protocol something you plan on doing long term? Or was it just a one-off? But getting those chunks out is good. Again though, you're barely scratching the surface. There's a lot more stuck in there.
My next article will explain that noticing constipation happens after it's been building for a long time. Our bodies learn how to shunt it into intestinal crevices. It'll probably post next week.

Ah, ok. Is it OK to do the salt water flush daily until I start the castor oil again?

I really hope your book includes how to maintain a healthy and un-plugged intestinal track. 🤎

Looking forward to the book! Hoping it's sooner than later, for all of us! 😁👍
Me too!
