On September 21 st, my mother went into a Hospital in Florida. I was with her at the hospital from September 22 to October 2nd when she was released. I just returned on Monday, October 13th after training her care taker and hiring a replacement.
I slept at her bedside at the hospital and monitored whatever she was given. She developed an ulcerated bed sore for which the wound management people could not find a viable approach. I used BF & C developed by Dr. Shultze's teacher Dr. Christopher. It was so much better than what the nurses were using that the Dr. wrote an order allowing me to apply the BF & C to my mother's wound. A PEG feeding tube was inserted into her stomach.
Incidentally, I found that the use of Cardizone created terrible effects on her and was able to persuade the cardiologist to stop it. It appeated to me that the justification for using it, rapid high beat, had been contrived. We're now monitoring my mother's vital signs three times a day and her heart beat doesn't go over ninety. After the visiting nurse came, who had been a Dr. in Peru, she only suggested adding Gatorade to mother's regime because she's anemic.
I brought her home with the help of a student who was completing a three month course in health care and for more than a week, I either provided 24 hour a day care for my mother or trained the young man to do so.
As my mother had an impacted bowel, our worse problem came about when it blocked up. We used four saline solution Fleet enemas and magnesium citrate to relieve the blockage as directed by the gastroenterologist. As it was clear that the gastroenterologist had no suggestions on getting mother's colon to work properly. I started Mother on Dr. Shultze's Intestinal Formula # 1. I started at 1/2 a capsule, then a capsule, and as of today, mother is being given seven (7) capsules a day through her feeding tube. The capsules are opened and mixed with water.
Our objective is to keep her from impacting. She has started to move her bowels to the consistency of pudding. When we initially unblocked the impaction at home, we were able to get solid stool from her. Unless someone can suggest another protocol, we'll keep adding one capsule a day until she passes solid stool.
She is being fed the juice of fresh fruit in the morning, freshly squeezed vegetable juice at lunch and freshly squeezed fruit juice at night. Also, she's being given Dr. Shultze's Echinacea Plus which has resulted in her hands and feet feeling warm to the touch for the first time in years.
She's also on a high carbohydrate high protein drink which has 800 calories in 12 oz. If anyone can suggest a better drink, please, let me know.
We're increasing to 1,000 calories in 15 oz. and working toward feeding her that twice a day. Any suggestions that will help to improve her quality of life will be appreciated. She is also being taken our for about an hour a day. Otherwise, because she is still recovering from the bed sore and pharmaceuticals, she sleeps a lot. She also eats by mouth and has portions of sandwiches, Zuchnni and Tomato soup and ice cream.
If anyone has experience with patients having bowel impactions and being fed through a tube. Please, let me know of your experience. I'm most grateful to at least have a chance to regulating her bowels with Intestinal Formula # 1 rather than waiting for them to impact and then using enemas.
Which protein/carbo drink are you feeding her with? Is she getting a good blend of fats? Do you have a juicer?
Could you feed her kefir perhaps instead of the icecream?
Does she enjoy watching videos or listening to music?
For personalized help I would recommend Gloria Gilberre ND as a consultant. She could help through phone consultations and could be a reasonable asset. If your interested I'll track down her phone number.
Hi:
A colonic would be too stressful according to the gastroenterologist. Fortunately, very erarly this morning she had her first normal bowel movement without fleet enemas or citrate magnesium. We're up to eight capsules of intestinal formula # 1 and will stay there to see if that's the right number.
We've jucing two fruits in the morning, three vegetables which include one large tomato, and two fruits (different from the morning) at supper time.
At this time, I prefer she have animal fats because she weighs some where between 85 and 95 lbs. She's lost about 50 to 60 lbs. in the three years she's lived with my sister.
The name Gloria Gilberre doesn't mean anything to me. But I appreciate the suggestion. I'm just following Shultze's format and providing her at present 1600 calories plus 72 grams of protein. She'll be up to 2000 calories by next week. She's also getting Gatorade at the suggestion of the MD. Although they have her on Digitalis, it seems to have eliminated a tendency for fast heart beats. Once her colon problem is ok she can be weaned away from that.
As far as fats go, she's not getting any other than from regular food which she can easily swollow when she wants to. She eats Tomato Zuchinni Soup, Turkey sandwich, etc.
But, the quantities are very small. She's getting most of her nourishment from the PEG.
Hi, I would suggest you get some virgin coconut oil, cold pressed, and give that to her. It is used in hospitals for sick babies and the elderly because it is a medium chain fatty acid and provides energy without being a strain on the body to digest. And it tastes good. There is a coconut forum here on curezone but more indepth information can be gotten at Dr.Mercola's web site, mercola.com by doing a search for coconut. There are excellent articles too at nexusmagazine.com and further information at tropicaltraditions.com which is where I bought my coconut oil. It has nutrients similiar to mothers milk and would be a good addition to her diet. Omie

im surprised you didn't get deleted. do you have a job? i was in your same situation at 24. do not get a credit card. do you have a car? i understand your frustration. your parents are frustrated with you. your first priority is to get money. don't bother stealing. reality is very hard to accept. don't bother with suicide. the only way in life is to adapt to your situation. temporary agencies are helpful. take this one step at a time. your parents will try to rush you, but if they are not kicking you out, then you have time to save money. if possible, you might go in with someone on an apartment. this is what you are thinking of, i guess. spend your time looking for a job, cause money surely will help you to have some hope. this situation is in your hands, and if you do nothing, it will only be the same or worse. if you think you will only quit your job, don't let that stop you from trying, cause as i said taking action is the answer. your parents are not in control of your future, only your present. people saying you are living off of your parents probably makes you feel even worse, as you already know this fact too well. have you ever done something that was very painful, but you did it anyway, because you wanted to get through it? this is the same. if you have to cry as you take each step, that's fine. you're going to be crying longer if you don't. it's like clawing your way uphill. but once you reach the top, it's all downhill from there. if you want more advice, i am usually on andrea's moritz forum. god bless you, and i will pray for him to open doors for you.
