Has No Life - Lives on TB
Okay, now that I posted this in the H&H forum, I found this one that seems more appropriate, so I'm reposting here.
"Fuzzychick" told me that this type of question should be posted here. Thanks FC!
I'm reading a book called "Natural Cures," and doing a lot of internet searching. A lot of what I'm reading makes sense to me, and there are some things I'd like to try. So I went to a couple of health food stores today (no big ones around here) and picked up a few things that were recommended in the book. But I really don't know what to do first, or the "dosages" of some of the stuff I bought. I was hoping someone could give me a little advice.
1. Mangosteen juice
2. Colloidal Silver
3. Coconut oil (raw, organic)
4. Apple Cidar Vinegar
5. Digestive Enzymes (this contains "porcine bile extract" - that sounds really nasty!
6. A "Super Colon Cleanse" made by Health Plus - this states that you should stop taking it if you have loose stools or diarrhea. I thought that was the whole purpose of a colon cleanse???? The book recommends colon cleanse, liver cleanse, kidney cleanse, candida cleanse, etc. I thought I'd start with the colon cleanse.
I also picked up some "natural" shampoo, toothpaste (no fluoride), deodorant, etc. Don't need any help trying to figure out how to use those ;-)
I have three main goals for pursuing "alternative" treatments:
1. Get off of my prescription meds (currently Flonase for allergies, Elavil for fibromyalgia, Coreg for heart palpitations - no heart disease, and maxide for fluid retention)
2. Lose weight
3. Feel better. I have pain all the time (fibromyalgia, plus some back injuries and surgery), I have no energy, I crave junk food and sweets, I have a lot of trouble sleeping and just generally don't feel like I think I should. I'm "only" 53, but I feel like I'm 80.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
