RE: [AlternativeAnswers] Re: Question on Traditional Chinese Medicine

Hi Lucia!

Small steps, one thing at a time. I used to set myself up for failure by
taking on too much at once, changing everything. I would start eating
differently, quit drinking soda, exercise like crazy.all at once. Never
worked, I'd be exhausted and feeling really crappy (because my body was
adjusting to things and dropping toxins too quickly).

While I was in school I was talking to my Ayurveda professor, and he told me
what I already knew.I had to give myself time. So I started with smoking.
Once I quit smoking and felt sort of OK with it, I went to soda. By then I
was feeling "ready" to quit drinking soda, I knew how bad it was for me and
hated that I was 'hooked.' So I stopped drinking soda, and it actually went
really smoothly. The difference was I was already through the nicotine
addiction before I started dealing with caffeine/sugar withdrawls.which made
all the difference in my success rate.

So don't get discouraged, just do a little here and there. Every day, or
once a week, or whatever your "schedule" tells you, change something else.
Quit a bad habit or pick up a new healthy one.but give yourself time to get
through it before you undertake the next change.

Most importantly, if you slip, don't beat yourself up. I quit smoking four
times over 10 years. Just be persistent, eventually it will "stick." :-)

What's that adage, life is not in the destination, but in the journey?
Enjoy your trip to a healthy and beneficial lifestyle!

Hello Shannon,
Thanks for the reply. A change in life style has been on my mind lately, but
I cannot get a hold of it. Am working on it, though.
Best wishes,
Lucia

RE: [AlternativeAnswers] Moving Bowels......suggestions please

For Izabel: most times omega 3 oils, such as fish oil, will most likely help solve the problem. Take 2 capsules at a time or 2 tablespoons of liquid if you cannot swallow the large capsules. Most people can take 4 capsules a day but with the elderly 2 may be the limit. Also, a product called calm is fast it is magnesium citrate--this works quickly and efficiently. Yes, the barium used for the CT scan may cause constipation. Good luck!

Try applesauce. Make sure you buy the unsweetened (organic if possible).
That usually does the trick for almost everyone I know, even when prunes
won't. My grandmother used to eat prunes, she loved them but they didn't
move her bowels as they are well-known for. But applesauce would work for
her every time.

My Mom is about 80 y/o--she is on blood pressure meds--she eats good--drinks
a lot of fluids and is quit active.
For the last couple of weeks she has been complaining of bloating,
feeling like she has not fully evacuated when moving her bowels.
She normally has one or two good movements a day--so I'm not sure what to
think of this.
I have given her MOM--Dulcolax Suppositories, prune juice.. nothing seems to
work--she is still having some issues.
I was wondering if this might have something to do with the CT Scan which
she had 3 weeks ago--she took that white chalky stuff and says she might not
of gotten it all out? The scan was non eventful.
Her doctor has examined her--says nothing is wrong--but she is still feeling
like she is clogged up-- I would like to try and get her bowels to move
naturally for I would not want her to get impacted and have to go to a
specialist/hospital to have anything removed .
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank-you

Fresh pineapple or papaya will work; or bromelain/ papain supplements.

You can go to something like a senna tea, magnesium helps, or psyllium husks.

The senna tea works for me brew it the night before and drink before bed. Get up in

the morning and go.. Good luck she sounds like she is doing pretty good overall. Sara
