Hi Scott,
I have a couple of questions for you...
1. If I am getting weekly colonics during the cleanse in addition to daily 60 min. sauna treatments and dry skin brushing, should also be taking a daily colon cleanse to help speed up toxic elimination? The woman that I'm going to for colonics says that the weekly colonics is more than enough because of the herbs added to the water and the effectiveness of the colonics???
2. Do you recommend ingesting activated charcoal capsules daily and is this safe for children? both my 4 1/2 and 2 year old have candida and many many gut issues right now. I'm trying to heal them naturally because I don't see western medicine as an option. It's been a long year and fortunately I found your book for some natural ways to heal them.
3. I LOVE ume vinegar and celtic sea salt. Can I overdue it with daily sodium intake? Can I overdue it with excess sodium for my kids as well? I put the sea salt in everything from water to all the food we eat. We love the sea salt. I'm trying to train my childrens taste buds to love seaweed and umeboshi everything. Since ume is high in sodium, I was concerned that I was giving everyone too much??? I personally don't feel bloated at all from all this sodium.
Thanks so much for your help. |

A gentle herbal colon formula is always a good idea. I think I understand the sentiment that your colon therapist is saying (mainly, no need to over do it with supplements), but especially during a cleanse, when your body is dumping massive amounts of toxicity out through the colon, I think it's a very, very good idea to add a colon supplement to the mix.

Charcoal is about the most innocuous and neutral substance we could put into our bodies. It's fine for kids. To speed things up, I'd get some Allimax™ and add one capsule per day to their regimen. It's not cheap, but it's the most effective extract I've found for getting rid of fungus, yeast, and bacterial overload. A month on Allimax can quite improve kids' health. And it sure beats pharmaceuticals.

While our culture is currently going through a concern about salt, I look to the Japanese health and salt intake for my gauge. They traditionally ate a lot, and did very fine. Of course, we can overdo salt. But I think it's easy to know if you're eating too much: you get grumpy. Ultimately you'll need to use your own judgement, but I'd say it's not a big concern, especially you're accessing the best quality salt you can find. |
