My grinder’s brand is Black&Decker. I recommend you to make your kefir at home. Storebought kefir did not help my symptoms, but my gut has improved after I started making kefir at home. It is so easy, easier than grabbing a bottle from the store periodically. I recommend you to visit the kefir grain forum here so that you can figure out where to get live kefir grains (used for fermentation). You only need to get kefir grains once, and they provide you with kefir drink for your lifetime. I consider my kefir grains as pets that I keep at home.

for constipation: using a coffee grinder, freshly ground 2 tbsp flax seeds everyday, mix it with yogurt (homemade) and eat. make sure to drink enough water during the day, but not during eating food and until 1 hour after eating. this above recipe is a great way of alleviating the constipation problem, and meanwhile you’ll be getting probiotics. in addition, kefir (homemade using kefir grains) is an easy and cheap way of getting the best quality probiotics, and is well known to be nature’s best source for probiotics.   [End]

Yes, pork and any pork product is forbidden in Muslim culture as well as jewish culture. Also the meat&poultry there does not include blood. The two religions instruct that the blood should be drained from the meat of the animal right after it is killed. This avoids getting infected with bloodborne parasites.. Also.. the only seafood that can be eaten according to Muslims & Jews is the fish that have scales.. no shrimp, lobster, etc.. since they are the scavangers of the sea, and hence they are not clean.. reminder: pigs are scavengers of the earth, and most nonfish creatures in the sea ...

I am no expert, but I think that you should stop probably all supplements and try to heal your intestines. Slippery elm tea would help reparing the internal lining of the intestines.

i am not an expert, but I can tell you that coffee enemas are known as the king of all enemas since they provide major detox to both bowels and liver.

Liver is supposed to be clean and functioning well so that it can secrete enough bile which in turn gets rid of candida.. so if you haven’t done coffee enemas, I suggest you to first research about it and then do regular coffee enemas.. It really improves bowels, liver function, and helps liver heal itself.. note: candida can reach the liver ...

I had heard a similar method for removing intestinal worms. you fast for 2 days.. and take some laxatives to completely empty your bowels. then you fill a small tub with milk and LOTS of sugar.. then sit in this tub naked for a few hours.. the worms will start coming out of your anus to feed themselves.. the point of fasting is to starve the worms.. you take laxatives to empty your bowels so that the worms can later try to reach the milk/sugar solution without any barriers.. I never tried this method but I guess it must be worth trying.. and it maybe better than trying to pull worms ...

Oil pulling’s benefits are twofold. 1-if you swish any oil in your mouth for a while, your liver will secrete bile. Oil’s type doesn’t matter. 2-oil will pull toxins from the mouth and whitens teeth.

Bad bacteria should definitely be out, but is there no good bacteria that resides in the mouth?? Just brain storming... I understand that in the above person’s ...
