Hi, Vwolf21, Thanks for sending the post about "Grandma". I am working on
diet and supplements with a chiropractor in the next town. And I have an
appointment with a gastroenterolgist on April 11th to see what his take is
on the bowel removal. This is a clinic that deals only with
gastroenterology. I suspect the doctor I will see there would be likely to
have had more experience with the type of bowel I have, the extra length and
floppiness. Even if he joins the others in recommending removal, I will
not do this readily. I plan to continue to work on diet and other things
before doing anything so drastic. Ruth

total large bowel removal sounds very drastic.
Is there something that the very wise and knowledgable people here can
help
you with?
Anyone? V
About three years ago, my daughter-in-law's grandmother, a little old lady
in
her eighties, but vivacious and ACTIVE, was stricken with a mysterious
bowel
condition. They put her in the hospital, in Tijuana, where she lives.
They
treated her with antibiotics from here to there -- and I don't know what
all,
but were not making any headway with her infection. Her condition was
going
from bad to worse. In frustration, finally they told her that their
recommendation was the removal of her large intestine and placement of a
colostomy bag.
She was very sick, but she was not about to give them a "yes," for that.
She
thought about it for awhile, and said, "Thanks, but no thanks. I would
rather
die with my body intact." And she went home.
I had been reading The Maker's Diet, by Jordan Rubin not long before that.
He was wasting away and near death at age 19, with no cure or hope in
sight,
and received recommendations the same as Grandma got. Only fortuitous
circumstance kept him from going through with it, and putting him in touch
with someone
who took him in hand and gave him what he needed to heal himself. Six
months
later the picture of the healthy young man in his book bears scant
resemblance to the cadaverous picture of him at his sickest.
I asked Carol if Grandma would be willing to try some of the things in the
Maker's Diet, and if she had someone to help her stay on a protocol.
Answers,
yes to both. I hiked up to the Vitamin Shoppe in our neighborhood, bought
the
book, a bottle of Primal Defense, their goatein and a couple of other
products, like greens powders (spirulina and chlorella) and flax oil. I
also sent
along some colloidal silver and real kefir, with kefir "grains" to make
more.
There may have been one or two other things in my rescue package, I am
sorry, I
cannot recall perfectly. I was just a do-gooder, flying blind, you know --
not an expert.
Cutting to the chase. In a week or two, Grandma began to feel a little
better. (I would check once a week with my daughter-in-law.) Appetite
seemed a
bit low. I suggested whatever constitutes "comfort food" in that culture.
(For
me, it would have been milk toast, macaroni and cheese, puddings, etc. -- I
don't know what is comfort food in the Mexican cuisine!) That helped.
After
about a month, she reported that Grandma had gotten bored with being cooped
up, went out and took herself for a drive all around TJ! She has been
fine
ever since, and kept her colon intact, happily. We see her once a year at
a
family gathering for New Years and that little old lady looks to be in
perfect
health.
The cost of the CARE package was about $115. I don't know that the CARE
package was the reason for her cure, but if it was, it was a pretty
reasonable
price to save a little old lady from the fate she would have faced
otherwise.
