I had similar digestive issues and found much useful information in "Allergies and Candida" by Stephen Rochlitz, PhD. He covers much about HCl and digestive enzymes being part of the down ward spiral that can lead to Candida Overgrowth. He also has an interesting set of Meridian Balancing moves that helped him recover from his near fatal CO. I have done them and they are pretty impressive for the little time it takes. Sometimes one session is enough.
The idea behind them is that many of us lack left right and mind body integration. Perhaps because of playpens, walking shoes and walkers, lack of cross crawl (as opposed to the initial lateral crawl) the integration / coordination did not happen. I always felt a little clumsy and the moves did make me feel like I was learning all over again. They were difficult at first but then easy. The book is out of print but he has a website and the book might be around in used book stores. Garnet On Tue, 2004-02-10 at 23:48, Wayne Fugitt wrote: > Evening MA, > > >Hi Wayne.
