My question is this: Will your methods work with some one who is 76 years old, has heart problems, has several stents, and a heart bypass operation. She is also in severe pain from a hip replacement operation that went bad on her, and 2 back operations. This is my mother, and I'd like to try to help her, but she has so many problems it seems almost impossible to help her. What do you think?
There's always hope but they have had a field day with your mother so I really don't know what to tell you. She's probably on a wide variety of meds too.
The big idea behind Medicare is to make a ton of money off the old folks. Meds, meds and more meds, surgery, tests, tests, and more tests. All payable by Medicare.
If you can get her off the meds the best thing I've seen that help the old folks is colon cleansing. Barefoots LBB and the coffee enema do wonders for the elderly. Just getting them off the meds does wonders also and may be all she needs.
Yes, she is on a lot of meds, and I know she needs to get off them. But convincing her will be difficult. She thoroughly believes in her meds. I'd like to "wean" her off the meds by getting her to feel better, first, if possible. Maybe a series of colonics, like I read about elsewhere on this forum. That might work.
She is convinced she needs to go into "assisted living", but I am very fearful of that. I don't like those places, as I fear it will totally demoralize her.
Anyway, thanks, your thinking on the subject seems to be in line with mine.
Wean her off meds? Here's a shot in the dark, but I am asking it, anyway.
What types of meds is she on?
Possibile to do it, only a long process requiring a lot of perseverence and dedication on the part of the person doing it and a lot of family support.
She's on all kinds of meds - cholesterol drugs, pain killers, laxatives, pills for her ulcers, you name it, probably antidepressants also. And you're right, it would take a lot of perseverance on her part, and I don't honestly know if she's up to it.
But I just watched my dad die from cancer less than a year ago, and I'm convinced that he didn't have to die that kind of a death. So I'm trying to convince my mother that there is another way. Whether she is willing to work with me or not, I don't know yet. But I have to have a plan.
HI:
I know the pain killers and the antidepressants are the hardest to get off of, but the post above where I asked Doc about where the cut-off point was for getting the elderly off drugs (Doc's answer) is a winner. This program will help get rid of the toxins in a much faster way than just trying to wean a person off an addictive drug and give only someting like vitamin C as a detoxifier for the body.
Some good, distilled water on a daily basis helps flush out the toxins.
Some of the proteins or amino acids in the Protofood by Standard Process Products are also body detoxifiers. Drugs deplete nutrients from the body, so, if I were going to work with a person on that basis, I would definitely feed a complete protein at the same time.
The ulcers I found out are caused by bacteria (H pylori) or other abnormalities--in my case--bile that was too strong for the lining of the stomach that just kept coming out into it and the duodenum after gall bladder surgery. Zappers are good for bacteria and viruses. I am not sure about the Barefoot dewormer for the viruses and bacteria.
As to the lasix or other "water" pills, once the liver is starting to come back on line and the kidneys are kept open with some of the Schiulze's detox tea or a stone-breaker like the GCG/chanca piedra mixture (in a case where there might be kidney stones), I can see where that would rectify itself.
I expect to see my own cholesterol numbers in the lower bracket as far as the LDL is concerned after doing the liver flushes in a small amount of time from now. I wouldn't ever consider taking a drug for that. I would keep my liver cleaned out.
As to the laxatives, the colon cleansers are a no-brainer for reversing that one.
Yes, I think it is do-able.
I would definitely have the procedure down in my mind and then confront a loved one with it in a caring and supportive manner. Then I would follow up on the positive decision that person makes to try this program, and then do quite a lot of support and help. I feel like I have to be a good "teacher" and know what I am talking about if I am going to confront a person with this program outlined by Doc in his Natural Healing Paradigm and get them to have confidence in me and the program, too. Of course, I am an example because of the positive things I have done to my body with this program. People can see that I am better.
Hope this helps you.
Yes, thanks so much. It definitely does help me. It kind of confirms what I was already thinking, and it gives me hope that it actually might work.
I know I need to come up with a plan, first, so that I can present it to her. But since I have never been seriously ill, I cannot use myself as an example. I'll have to use testimonies of others.
I'm also considering colonics (I read Azurite's Resurrection post about the 92 and 93 year old couple that were helped so much by the colonics). But I've searched, and cannot find a colonics place anywhere near us. But if her health would improve, it would be worth it to drive a long distance.
My thoughts and prayers are with you with your situation with your mother. My mom is
the same age and losing her mental abilities, I am lucky that she is not on any drugs
but it is a battle to keep the medical people away with all there pills, tests, and BS.
Where did you find Azurite's Resurrection post about the 92 and 93 year old couple that were helped so much by the colonics). I have been looking high and low for it.
There is a lady here in town who does give colonics so if I can get my mom in there, she has agreed to put the coffee in there.
That is a great testimony for colonics for elderly. It is not however what I was expecting, was hoping for more evidence that they helped Alzheimers and confusion.
My mother walks nearly everyday a mile or so, she is at home alone, though I am there every day to fix her evening meal and take care of the house and all the bills and such. she just had a accident with her car, she ran right thru a traffic light and got hit, she really had no idea where she was even at.
To rpnj and dsr, how fortunate your mothers are to have such loving support.
drs, I found one recent blog enty on L-Carnosine effective in Alzheimer's, maybe this would be of interest. I know I read something recently, but for the life of me I can not find it now. If I come across I will let you know.
My mother passed from this and I know well how hard it is to watch the continuing degeneration. My father also had it along with Parkinson's but much much later in life than my mother.
Thank you for your kindness and concern. Sorry to hear of your parent's passing. Yes it is so very hard to watch them slowly lose anything that resembled them selves.
Thank you for the link on L-Carnosine it looks like a miracle supplement and probably will give it a try.
