******************************************************

This is an absolute must-have resource for anyone with IBS or IBD. Dr. Carolyn Dean MD, ND specializes in Candida albicans overgrowth (yeast) treatment. She has written a whole book on it, actually!

And in this teleseminar she shares with us her super-effective treatment protocol, along with tips and special insider info for those really stubborn, or hard-to-define cases of yeast infection.

She outlines her special yeast-scrubber-sponge formula of bentonite clay, psyllium seed (or aloe vera if you prefer) and caprylic acid. This protocol is so effective because it absorbs and removes the 178 toxins given off by yeast, as well as the yeast itself. This prevents that awful die-off effect – that can make you sicker than the original infection!

This is then followed by high dose probiotic supplementation. Read the rest of this entry »

Those of you who have read Listen To Your Gut, know that I don’t think too highly of Peter D’Adamo’s book, Eat Right 4 Your Type. Well, I recently came across this brilliant review of the book that fully outlines why the science in his book is a just a tad “hinky”.

But the real bonus contained in this book review by Sally Euclaire Osborne MS, is the excellent information she imparts on:

• How to resolve hydrochloric acid (HCL) deficiency
• Allergies and Leaky Gut Syndrome
• Gelatin’s amazing ability to heal the intestinal lining

Those of you who have my book, The IBD Remission Diet, know that bone broths (which contain very high levels of gelatin) are a crucial component of the Diet. When I write the 2nd edition of The IBD Remission Diet I will include an entire section on exactly why and how bone broths (and gelatin) contribute to healing the gut and the whole body.

But for now, here are the really pertinent excerpts from Osborne’s book review article on gelatin, HCL deficiency and Leaky Gut Syndrome: Read the rest of this entry »

Those of you who have been struggling with Candida albicans overgrowth know that it usually takes a multi-pronged approach to heal this condition.

If you have IBS, you most likely have a Candida (yeast) overgrowth in your gut.

I’ve got a great teleseminar booked with Dr. Carolyn Dean – who is both a medical doctor and a naturopathic doctor. She is also the author of about 15 books – and two of her specialities are Candida and Safe Detox Procedures.

Tuesday, November 25th
6:00 pm Pacific Time

Dr. Carolyn Dean has written a book about Yeast treatment and she is also an advisor to yeastconnection.com. She has worked with hundreds of patients personally, getting Candida overgrowth under control.

Another area that Dr. Dean specializes in is safe detoxification procedures. Again, anyone with a chronic illness, or who has taken prescription drugs (or who lives on this polluted planet!) needs to detox their body. However, if you detox too rapidly, too harshly, or at the wrong time, you can trigger a flare and rapidly become ill. You have to pursue detoxification in a way and at a pace that your body can handle. Dr. Dean has worked extensively with hyper-sensitive people with chronic illness and autism, so she is the ideal person to guide us through this necessary, but delicate procedure.

Imagine that: Being able to detox without it triggering unpleasant reactions or making you feel sick for a while! Read the rest of this entry »

Anyone who’s healed themselves of a gut disorder knows that the food you eat is vitally connected to your health. This is why healing usually involves dietary modification and restriction for a period of time.

Some health experts advocate staying on a particular or restricted diet for the rest of your life (for example, The Specific Carbohydrate Diet by Elaine Gottschall) because this diet worked to heal symptoms and alleviate the original condition.

However, the process that facilitates healing is not necessarily a good regime for ongoing health. In fact, since healing involves often intensive measures to correct an imbalance, isn’t it just common sense that if you continue with the intensive treatment past the midline, you will negatively throw your body out of balance the other way?

The problem however, is psychological. Read the rest of this entry »
