Recurring Bouts Uncontrolled Diarrhea
Let me begin by thanking you for all your informative contributions to the Earth Clinic site. Keep up the great work.
I am in day 10 now of constant diarrhea. I have had bouts like this before and would so like to find a way to restore my digestion and this is why I am writing you. I originally was diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity they called dermatitis herpetiformis. My only symptoms were the small water blisters so I took note of it and made a half-hearted effort to avoid it. I have been a vegetarian since 1969 but still have consumed dairy - mostly cheese, never milk. Interestingly I just found out on Earth Clinic that caesin and gluten are very similar which might explain gluten outbreaks on my skin even when I have been quite sure I wasn't taking any in.
Sorry for rambling. My last bout of this in 2009 landed me in the doctor's office here and the theory we ended up with was that I was borderline celiac and that my advancing age (64) was causing more reactive outbreaks like this. The doctor guessed that by not strictly avoiding gluten (and probably continuing with dairy as well) had weakened the vilii of the intestines to the point that we found Blastocyctis Hominis and these were helping cause my problems. I finally got better then by using MMS.
I'm having another bout now and I've tried things that have worked before including, raw cabbage juice, ACV, anti-inflammatories like boswelia, devils claw, turmeric and slippery elm. So far, this time nothing seems to make a difference. It's like my body goes over the edge and won't come back until it decides it wants to - no matter what I try. I've previously done a colonoscopy with a GI doctor here and all he came up with was IBS.
So I don't know for sure what I have. Is it more of the same? Something wrong with my pancreas, gall bladder or liver that's been undiscovered? Should I take MMS again and see? I've also been thinking of getting back on a Master Cleanse and letting the cayenne pepper, syrup and lemon juice have a crack at it for ten days - at least I won't have to take a laxative tea. ;)
Any thoughts or input you can offer? My first goal is to just stop the diarrhea. One time in the past a doctor gave me bismuith (the active ingredient in pepto bismol) but I got black stools and it really isn't working on fixing the underlying cause.
Please give me some input as I respect your opinion.
Sorry for late emails, holidays and problems in Thailand, and I simply cannot handle this volume of emails but will try!
The one major thing is the intestinal villi is non existent is the key to all the problems, and its not in medical literature either. But the clue is you are a vegetarian and it leads to multiple amino acid deficiency, the primary ones are threonine which helps the intestinal villi, the lysine is the most common deficiencies in humans due to cooked foods, especially more so in vegetarians, and one especially is quite common, vitamin K2 m4, which is actually the source of deficiencies as people no longer take butter (especially the raw kind). The pasteurized butter do have some vitamin K, but with pasteurization it destroys most of the lipase anyway, and some of vitamin K2 m4. The disinformation promoted by other websites about vitamin K2 menaquinone 7 and vitamin K1 in form of phylloquinone is not the ones you will take, because it does little to your health.
One quick simple test of vitamin K2 m4 deficiency is if you take butter (three small slice) for a whole month (I think it can be taken more), the wrinkles disappear overnight (in case of raw butter) and about one month for vegetarians as they have extreme vitamin K deficiencies, which the main reason now (I always update my knowledge-base) why Americans (at least) have more wrinkles than Europeans. It might sound trivial, but the same effect happens in your intestinal villi, they shrink or become virtually non-existent. So to restore intestinal health, it is vitamin K2 m4, lysine (to help collagen) and threonine to allow the permeability and growth of intestinal villi back to health. The problem is quite widespread especially with anti soy campaigns in U.S. because that is also the source of vitamin K, especially fermented ones, the regular soy also works, but only if you take prebiotics (not probiotics) such as leeks, onions, garlic, and carrots, then they increase the environment for intestinal health, the bacteria will produce in fermented Natto, a vitamin K2 m7, by bacteria subtilis, but I suspected other bacteria converts to vitamin K2 m4, in the gut, if prebiotics combined with soy milk is taken. However the simplest way is take raw butter, next is supermarket butter (pasteurized) then soy, in the order of importance. This is why vegetarians appear older then the meat eating people, they have vitamin K2 m4 deficiencies, as this is what is found in all animals, the m4 kind but not the K2 m7 or K1 kind. People who eat organ meats partially cooked, such as the liver or intestines also do have some vitamin K2 m4. The problem about U.S. nutritional database is they DON'T CHECK FOR K2 menaquinone 4, they only check for phyloquinone K1, and people concludes there is no menaquinone in animal meats.
The threonine is taken at least 1000 mg x 4 times a day, the lysine is 1000 mg x 3 times a day, the raw butter if you can find one, is taken at 3 (teaspoons or slices) a day should get the intestinal villi back in working order. There is a couple of things you have to be aware, melatonin is actually produced more in the intestines then the pineal glands, it is probably produced for regeneration of tissues in the intestines, but I will usually take it if there is some form of sleeplessness. We all know omega 3 with the EPA and DHA reducing the inflammation, so its probably taken once every other day for that.
Those deficiencies have to be addressed first, and the problem of boron deficiencies is the other one, that causes fungus along the intestinal tract. Now most Westerners who come to Thailand have very red skin, that is the fungus. Boron is taken at least one pinch a day for a month, and sodium molybdate is the other one that helped relieved inflammation of the red skin and intestinal tract. It is caused by a fungus and nutritional deficiencies as mentioned regardless of the names of these symptoms, you need to look at the cause of it, not the symptoms, and too often doctors give names based on symptoms or appearance, not the players.
The other that helps clear the fungus fast without resorting to MMS, is the hydrogen peroxide 3% one capful per liter of water, to use as a drinking water throughout the day. If the body is toxic, then it needs to be taken at most every other day, once the body toxic load is less then it can be taken as 5 days on, and 2 days off. If you have to take MMS it doesn't address the iodine deficiency issue, it make it worse, as it is a chlorine and plants and animals it stunts their growth, at the very least I would try lugol's first say 2 drops a day, or a mixture with MMS, but I don't generally use them, except topically or sterilization if bacteria only. And measure your pH saliva and urine, it should both 7.0.
