the coffee enema and 1 hour sauna i did today seem to relieve my stiff shoulders and muscles..how often should i do this? 1 x week? does eating oatmeal with flax seed be sufficient to put my intestinal flora back into fighting form? thought i saw worms in the toilet after my coffee enema, does this mean i am free from worms for a few weeks or months now? does ozoning or making my raw veges and juiced fruits keep the parasites away or only regular water and coffee enemas? or does a pill work to rid my kid's body of allergies and parasites since she is too difficult to be convinced to have a water and coffee enema?? thanks for answering my concerns 1 by 1 cuz they are all interrelated and will give me a clear picture of what action to take to be free of worms....

Hmmm, you sound like my friend Shaar. There is a lot of medical "information" about such things in magazines on the internet and on the radio. Some of these things work and others may not. Let me give you the best information I can without being judgmental regarding the "alternative" medicine practices.

GERMS .... are microorganisms (visible with a microscopr) and consist of viruses and bacteria. They are different from parasites. Bacteria can be killed with antibiotics. Viruses are not "alive". Antiviral medications inactivate the virus activity or enhance the body's immune defenses.

WORMS...... are visible with simple magnification. Common parasitic worms infecting seafood are:
o- Nematodes or roundworm
o- Cestodes or tapeworms
o- Trematodes or flukes

Parasitic worms that can infect humans include:
o- the roundworms (nematodes) Anisakiasis and Eustrongylides
o- and the tapeworm Diphyllobothrium.

You seem to believe that the oatmeal, flax and coffee enema, will flush parsites out of your colon. You should know, however, that the parasites burrow into the wall of the digestive tract and it is fairly difficult to dislodge them. Usually a person ingests the larva of the parasite and then the larva grows to an adult inside the GI tract. So laxatives and enemas will not rid your body of parasites.

Laxatives and enemas stimulate nerve endings in the large bowel, which is also called the colon. The residue in the colon (indigestible fiber and other non-nutritive material) as well as lots of water will be expelled by the action of laxatives.
Laxatives and enemas cannot stimulate the small intestine, the part of the GI tract where food is digested and where nutrients and calories are absorbed and therefore, where the parasites burrow.

By using laxatives and enemas routinely:
o- You can upset your electrolyte balance. Electrolytes are minerals like sodium and potassium that are dissolved in the blood and other body fluids. They must be present in very specific amounts and exact ratios for proper functioning of nerves and muscles, including the heart muscle. Laxatives and enemas (and also forced vomiting) can upset this balance by flushing essential minerals out of the body, resulting in muscle cramps, tremors, spasms, irregular heartbeat, and in some cases cardiac arrest. The heart stops, and unless the person receives immediate emergency medical treatment, s/he dies.

o- Laxatives and enemas (and also vomiting) remove needed fluid from the body. The resulting dehydration can lead to tremors, weakness, blurry vision, fainting spells, kidney damage, and in some cases death. Severe dehydration requires medical treatment. Drinking fluid may not hydrate cells and tissues quickly enough to prevent organ damage or death.

o- Laxatives irritate intestinal nerve endings, which in turn stimulate muscle contractions that move the irritant through the gut and out of the body. After a while the nerve endings no longer respond to stimulation. The person must now take greater and greater amounts of laxatives to produce bowel movements. S/he has become laxative dependent and without artificial stimulation may not have any bowel movements at all.

o- Laxatives and enemas strip away protective mucus that lines the colon, leaving it vulnerable to infection.

o- Enemas can stretch the colon, which over time becomes a limp sack with no muscle tone. No longer can it generate the muscle contractions necessary to move fecal matter out of the body.

So, you may reconsider reliance on laxatives and enemas.

ALLERGIES.... are a reaction in the immune system and have little to do with the use of laxatives.

Saunas, hot packs or even ice packs can relieve stiff muscles. Ice packs are more commonly used in physical therapy.

Read the articles below for more information about seafood parasites.

INTESTINAL FLORA - The human digestive system is naturally inhabited by billions of bacteria called the intestinal microflora. You begin acquiring this internal ecosystem in infancy and by the time you've reached adulthood, there are as many as five hundred bacterial species in the colon alone. The commercial yoghurt product available in supermarkets called Activia manufactured by Danon contains a live culture of the bacteria Bifidus regularis. If you eat one container for 14 days, the bacteria will become resident in your colon and provide you with health benefits including reduction of bowel transit time.
http://www.activia.com/bifidus.asp
http://www.activia.com/pdf/Act_scientific_summary.pdf

Another product manufactured by Dannon is a yoghurt drink, DanActive which contains a live proprietary strain of the bacteria Lactobacter casei. There is a good explanation of the role of probiotics in the GI system at their website:
http://danactive.com/danactive_how_intestine.html

ROLE OF HEMOGLOBIN - You might want to know that the way oxygen is transferred to body tissues is by red blood cells not by dissolved oxygen. It is a molecular process. The transfer of oxygen is accomplished with the swapping out of carbon dioxide from the tissues and depends on pH and levels of 2,3 DPG. Oxyhemoglobin carries oxygen to the tissues and unloads the oxygen then bonds with carbondioxide to form deoxyhemoglobin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%2C3-bisphosphoglycerate
You can draw your own conclusions about whether oxygen can be directly absorbed through mucous membranes in the vagina, colon or ear.

RAW FOOD ....Cooking destroys bacteria and parasites. Did you read about the salmonella recently found in peanut butter or the E. coli O157:H7 recently found in spinach and other vegetables? Just because something is vegetable or organic does not mean it is germ free. You may consider cooking your food the fish, vegetables and meat.

I think that you are trying to maintian a healthy lifestyle based upon the information that you have read. Perhaps more reading will give you a better basis for making food choices. My friend Shaar has read a lot about the topics that interest you from books she has gotten in the health food store. Certainly the food in the health food store is not harmful, but it is expensive and may not deliver all that it promises.

OZONE THERAPY - Here is a link to what you are consiering with "ozoning". If you read through the other material you may have enough information to read it more objectively than before.
http://www.silvermedicine.org/ozone-story-infection.html

Ozone, along with reactive forms of oxygen such as superoxide, singlet oxygen (see oxygen), hydrogen peroxide, and hypochlorite ions, is naturally produced by white blood cells and other biological systems (such as the roots of marigolds) as a means of destroying foreign bodies. Ozone reacts directly with organic double bonds. Also, when ozone breaks down to dioxygen it gives rise to oxygen free radicals, which are highly reactive and capable of damaging many organic molecules. Ozone has been found to convert cholesterol in the blood stream to plaque (which causes hardening and narrowing of arteries). Moreover, it is believed that the powerful oxidizing properties of ozone may be a contributing factor of inflammation. The cause-and-effect relationship of how the ozone is created in the body and what it does is still under consideration and still subject to various interpretations, since other body chemical processes can trigger some of the same reactions. A team headed by Dr. Paul Wentworth Jr. of the Department of Chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute has shown evidence linking the antibody-catalyzed water-oxidation pathway of the human immune response to the production of ozone. In this system, ozone is produced by antibody-catalyzed production of trioxidane from water and neutrophil-produced singlet oxygen.

Ozone has also been proven to form specific, cholesterol-derived metabolites that are thought to facilitate the build-up and pathogenesis of atherosclerotic plaques (A form of heart disease). These metabolites have been confirmed as naturally occurring in human atherosclerotic arteries and are categorized into a class of secosterols termed “Atheronals”, generated by ozonolysis of cholesterol's double bond to form a 5,6 secosterol as well as a secondary condensation product via aldolization.:

You need to see a doc about ALL of your concerns. First of all, if you got worms from eating sashimi, then you ate it at the wrong place, and that's really gross. A coffee enema will not kill ANY germs. Eating oatmeal with flaxseed WILL NOT put your intestinal flora back into balance, you need to go to a health food store and get some acidophilus, along with other enzymes and bacteria, if you want to put your system back in whack. If you saw worms, you still have worms. Nothing will keep parasites away except prevention. Please don't abuse your daughter by giving her a coffee enema. Above all- GO SEE A DOCTOR IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE AN INTESTINAL PARASITE!!!

You mean that disease and sickness is a punishment from a god, or a vehicle god uses to impart lessons? I think most theists are willing to accept germ theory as long as medicine works for them. It's only in despair that they turn to god instead of doctors.

Fresh water fish should always be cooked (catfish, crappie....). Ocean fish may be eaten raw when fresh (salmon, tuna..). This is because the worms that live in marine systems are not able to survive in humans. If you didn't get food poisoning from raw ocean fish, then you should be fine.

http://www.answers.com/topic/food-poisoning - symptoms of various types of food poisoning are here..they recommend a stool culture to diagnose.

Kids often get parasites from playing in the dirt, or coming into contact with animal feces that is infested. There are many medications, which your doctor can recommend once the type of worm is determined.

Home remedies might work under certain circumstances..however, there are many different types of illnesses and types of worms. I would seek a medication that is prescribed by your doctor.

WOW.

Thanks for scaring the hell outta me. Um, too many enemas will disrupt the intestinal flora, so I wouln't reccomend it regularly.


See a doctor.
