Healed/Healing Lifelong Digestive Problems

[Asa]

Well, after four+ years raw and still suffering from residual digestive problems, I finally bit the bullet and got a colonic. (Gravity method, $55)

I found the therapist off of Natalia Rose's list. The therapist was great, didn't try to sell me anything, etc. but did recommend taking magnesium citrate tea every evening, taking triphala 2/day, and considering a parasite combo. (Neither of us were certain that I had parasites, just as a precaution.)

So, I followed her instructions and and happy to report that SHE COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE! I swear, the difference between before and after the colonic/recommended supplement regime is as drastic as before and after eating raw.

Sounds great!
A few questions ...
What kind of digestive problems did you have?
What the parasite combo is made of?

i'm surprised you still had digestive issues after being raw for 4 years. have you been 100% raw all that time?

[Asa]

Yup. Raw helped my digestive issues, but did not completely heal them.

Constipation, slow digestion, bloating, that sort of thing. Unless I ate only fruit, and still sometimes even then.

The parasite combo I'm on is called Para-Shield, made by Gaia Herbs. It contains black walnut green hulls, sweet wormwood, pomegranate seed, gentian root, coptis rhizome, ginger root, and clove oil.

4 years 100% Raw huh? then why are you posting a COOKED soup recipe?

[Asa]

Why are you trying to antagonize me?

Your behavior seems more in violation then the recipe that I tried to post. You can see my response on the other thread.

Yes, I have been raw for a long time. I do occasionally use veggie stocks or tea which I simmer water for. I also use nutritional yeast.
