Hi Shelley, I wrote to you a while back w/the news of my pregnancy and you suggested I start adding cod liver oil to my diet along w/organic butter. My question is how much cod liver oil should I take daily? I read somewhere that cod liver oil is high in Vitamin A & I need to be careful of vitamin A intake especially during pregnancy. Is this true? I’m almost at my third trimester and would like to start taking it for my baby’s brain development. I’m anxious to hear what you have to say. thank you, susie   [End]

Hi Shelley, Thanks for your response! I will tell her to take her antibiotics and I’ll send her some lecithin. But why is her hair falling out? Is this related to the ulcer or the parasite? What do you recommend for the parasite cleansing? Should she wait until her ulcer subsides to start on the parasite cleansing? Is it safe to be on the broth fast while she’s taking her antibiotics? She’s going to be here on Dec 7 and I really wanted to help her through some major cleansing. Can the bowel cleanse wait till then? Can you please give me specific instructions on how to take Ch ...

Hi Shelley, My mother-in-law who lives in Hungary has got bad parasites. The doctor said it was ”helicobacter pylori”. I looked this up and it’s a type of ulcer. She’s also got some form of parasite and her symptoms include extreme bloating, sleepless, and just recently major hair loss. The doctor prescribed antibiotics for the ulcer but she’s not sure what the best cure is. I think parasite cleanse, bowel cleanse, and a liver cleanse will be good for her. She’s bit overweight and she’s had stomach problems for a very long time. She gets very full after eating a very small amount of ...

Hi Shelley, I wrote to you couple of weeks ago after I discovered I was preganant and you told me to start taking wheatgerm oil & cod liver oil. I’ve been doing both and have been feeling well. I don’t have morning sickness just some mild nausea when I’m hungry but other than that, it’s been a pretty smooth ride so far. My due date is May 6, 2005. Can you tell me what I can expect as far as the baby’s personality? Some Chinese birth chart reads I will have a girl. I’m an aries myself and was curious about the sign Taurus. thank you, susie   [End]

Hi! Thanks for suggestion on the mercury removal. I’ll definitely remove them later. For now, I’ll just get my cleaning and a good check-up. They did use a cover from my neck down so I’m not too worried. thanks again, susie   [End]

I can’t thank you enough for all the support you’ve given me through this forum. You’re a kind, wonderful person! I’m very excited and look forward to the next 8-9months. I’ll try the Solaray’s Spectrum, the cod liver oil, wheat germ oil and ofcourse the teas. I’ve already been drinking the teas but the peppermint tea warns pregnant women from drinking it. Is this true? Should I try ginger? I’ve been having some nausea and I heard eating saltine crackers should help. Thank you Shelley!! susie   [End]

Hi Shelley, I told you I was going to take the pregnancy test. Well, I did today, and I’m pregnant. The heartburn that I’ve been experiencing, I guess was from that. I’m a little shocked because I wasn’t expecting it eventhough I’ve been cleansing to prepare myself for being a mom. I’m excited though! I was recently at the dentist to get a check up and I had full x-rays taken. But I had no idea that I was pregnant. Is this ok? I was also going to get my mercury fillings removed this week, is this a bad idea? Should I start taking folic acid supplements? If so, do you have any bra ...

Hi Shelley, I’ve been having indigestion & heartburn. And my tongue is coated white especially towards the back. I wrote to you asking for a personalized protocol. Do you remember? I’m really starting to get the kind of indigestion I had couple of yrs ago and I’m not sure what triggered it. I haven’t really been stressed or anything. Should I take some ACV w/water? As you suggested, I went to wholefoods today and got some Garden of Life’s Omegazyme and Lecithin. I’ll start taking them right away. Will this help w/my digestion? You mentioned about my hypoglycemia, and I thought may ...

I fogot to mention that I purchased a greenstar juicer recently and plan to juice wheatgrass, carrots, and other veges & fruits. Is this not a good idea since you told me to avoid raw food except for occasional salads? Should I return the juicer? I’m going to start on your protein shake to get more digestive enzymes and lecithin. Do you think one shake a day is sufficient? If so, should I make it a meal, like for breakfast? Is it good to drink the protein shakes during the PC or should I wait until I finish? thanks a bunch, susie   [End]

Shelley, Do you suggest Clarkia or Colonix? I was just on drnatura’s website, reading up on the Colonix program. What do you think if more effective in removing bigger parasites? I guess I’ll look into enema bags. What kind of enema do you suggest? I’ll also try the epsom salt w/water for my kidneys. Will celtic sea salt work too? I was taking this during my MC and it flushed everything out. thanks, susie   [End]

Thank you for responding so quickly. I was afraid that I had parasites and the idea is really creeping me out. I will try the Clarkia but are there any precautions I should take? Do you have any experience w/parasite cleanse? I’m just not sure what to expect and I’m really afraid of what I’ll see coming out. Should I buy the Clarkia online? If I start the parasite cleanse this week, should I continue w/the P&B shakes or should I wait until I finish the 14days of PC? I also have no clue about enemas and colonics. Is this absolutely necessary in PC? Should I go to a professional? Y ...

Hi Shelley! I’ve been reading your FAQs and I found them to be very informative but also brought up many new questions. I would love it if you can do an analysis and customize a protocol for me. I will try to provide you detailed info. I’m 33yrs old, female, of asian descent. I took the dosha test and I’m a Vata and a little Pitta. Not all the descriptions as a Vata describe me but most of them apply. I’m 5’4” and 105lb. My weight has been pretty consistent all of my life. I might be considered underweight but my bones structure is very thin to begin with. I’m sorry but I don’ kn ...

Shelley, Will flaxseed oil do? I purchased some recently and have been taking it w/yogurt. If taking cod liver oil, do I put it in food? Is it very fishy? Also, do I need to take folic acid supplements? If so, which do you recommend? I bought some by rainbow lite brand and it’s making me a little nauseous. thanks, susie   [End]

I took your advice for the bladder infection and bought some 100% cranberry juice and drank it all day and I feel better already. Thank you so much! You mentioned before that I should start taking cod liver oil because I’m planning to get pregnant. What is this for? Is it just for the fat in the oil? I also wanted to know if I’m considered underweight. I’m 5’4” and 105lb. I’d like to get your opinion. I much appreciate your input. susie   [End]

Hi Shelley, I started taking P&B shakes yeterday and I think I have a bladder infection coming on. I feel like I have to go to the bathroom constantly & woke up many times during the night. And it kind of has a burning sensation towards the end. I’ve only had bladder infection about 3 times in my adult life but I’ve had numerous yeast infections. Does this have something to do with the P&B shake I drank yesterday? Should I discontinue? I’m concerned and I really don’t want to take any antibiotics. What can I do at this point? worried, susie   [End]

Dear Bharati, I too had some adult acne especially when I stopped taking my birthcontrol pills. Recently I did a 7 day MC and found this product through the forum here called Epidermx. It’s a home microdermabrasion kit and it’s done wonders for my skin(I had very oily skin) and my existing scars are slowly disappearing. I’ve been so happy w/the results that I bought some for my friends too. You can check the product ingredients online, just look it up on google. I hope it will help you for your special wedding day! susie   [End]

Hi Shelley! Thanks for responding. I will look up Colonix and compare the two. I guess I can always try the P&B shakes and Clarkia. I did buy some psyllium & bentonite at WholeFoods awhile ago but been waiting to find out if they’re safe. Sometimes I think I’m going overboard with all these cleansings because I’m not really sick or have an ailment. But I do lack energy & vitality at my age(33yrs old) and I’d like to get in top shape before having children. This forum has been very helpful & encouraging. And thank you again! susie   [End]

I was looking for colon cleansing products and discovered a website ”thelifetree.com” and found a product called InnerClarity. It’s a little expensive but sounds effective. Does anyone have any experience with this product? They also have a parasite cleanser and some of the ingredigents are black walnut, cloves, pumpkin seeds, and etc (without the wormwood). If anyone has any comments, it would be very helpful. thanks, s.   [End]

I’ve also had some teeth sensitivity. Do you think it might be from the maple syrup? I’ve been doubling my dose for the syrup because I’m underweight.

I’ve been very tired and would like to know when to expect the surge of energy. thanks for sharing, s.   [End]
