My last visit to the doctor
There comes a time when we must not only be aware of our bodies, but aware of what our bodies need. They tell you to be prepared when you go to the doctor to share and discuss all of your problems so that the doctor can better determine your problem and your needs. Well, I strive to do this successfully, but I continue to be amazed at how often information falls on deaf ears.
I want to present a recent problem I had where my doctor said, “Well, there is no treatment for this, and you just have to wait for it to pass.” I thought, “Wait till it passes! That’s easy for you to say. You don’t have this problem. I was headed to the lab for some tests, I thought, why bother coming here and spending my time and money on this?” .
Diagnosis Murder
He later diagnosed my health problem, after I went for laboratory tests, and sent it to me through a nurse. It looked like she had something called pityriasis rosea. He also noted that there was no treatment and the oil could last 1-2 months!
My first thought was: “No treatment?” If they could find the condition, why couldn’t they determine a treatment? This was a very foolish foundation. How could I affirm that there was no remedy before seeing the results of my laboratory? Impossible.
Thank goodness for Google. I looked up pityriasis rosea and he simply reiterated my doctor’s diagnosis: “There is no known solution and just wait.”
second opinion
According to the American Dermatological Association, it is a rash that occurs most often in people between the ages of 10 and 35, but it can occur at any age. The cause is unknown. Pityriasis rosea is not a sign of any internal disease, nor is it caused by a fungus, bacteria, or allergy. Pityriasis rosea often does not require treatment and usually goes away on its own. However, treatment can include external or internal medications for itching.
The rash can last from several weeks to several months. It can occur at any time of the year, but pityriasis rosea is more common in spring and autumn, creams do not help because it is not a fungus. My doctor prescribed me for itching and told me to use calamine lotion.
Once again I thought: “There is no treatment and how can it last for several months.” The appearance was deplorable and the itching unbearable. I could hardly bear this another day.
Third Opinion and Walla!
I did further research and saw that this was associated with a similar problem known as rosacea. Very similar in appearance and guess what? There were recommended treatments. Vitamin B, enzymes and PROBIOTICS! Especially probiotics. And, it seems that there are some bad bacteria involved in the problem. My experience is that when there are bad bacteria, probiotics are simply used as a solution.
Implementing Plan B
The recommended dose was 4 billion active organisms twice daily. I started right away with 2-500 million size capsules and repeated every 4 hours 4 times a day. I increased it the next day to 4-500 million organisms twice a day the next day. The first day there was little to no change. But, on the second day I started to notice that the itching wasn’t as bad and the areas that were causing me pain didn’t hurt as much.
I thought about why I was having this problem, now. I had recently completed a natural herbal colon cleanse and used probiotics throughout the entire process. So why was my body experiencing this kind of problem after an herbal colon cleanse? I had been feeling great just a few days before the skin problem broke out. Get it? burst
Who would have thought
I was not satisfied with my findings. I went back to Google and found an article that was a revelation. The article stated that the author, who was a reputable authority on colon cleansing and probiotics, gets questions about the need to take probiotics during and after a cleanse. And his answer is simple: Yes, definitely, we should take a probiotic during and after the cleanse.
GOOD! I was never told or read before that I had to continue probiotics after colon cleansing. During a colon cleanse, beneficial bacteria and toxins are removed. The cleanse pushes all the junk out of our bodies, but it doesn’t discriminate between toxins and good bacteria. As a result, there is a bacterial imbalance in our GI tract, which can cause many other problems.
We MUST replace the good bacteria
You see, there are billions and billions of different microorganisms and bacteria that coexist in our gut. This vast system of bacteria works together and is crucial to the overall health of our bodies. It directly and indirectly affects almost every other organ in our body. If there is an imbalance, we feel sick, lazy and sleepy. We will not get all the nutrients we need, as our digestive system loses its efficiency, so we suffer from malnutrition. The waste does not leave our system properly, so we have skin problems.
To replace these friendly bacteria, most cleansers take a probiotic during the cleanse. Usually the probiotic supplement is taken 2-3 times a day and one hour before or after the colon cleanser. Of course, the specific procedure differs depending on the probiotic, so be sure to read the listed guidelines. It is also recommended to continue taking probiotics after finishing the cleanse.
Probiotics should be taken during colon cleansing, as well as other cleansing or detox regimens such as liver, kidney, and especially candida. Everyone on a cleanse regimen always takes probiotics to replace the beneficial bacteria and maintain a healthy colon by populating the intestines with beneficial bacteria.
the pot of gold
That was my problem. I did not continue the probiotics after the colon cleanse. To make a long story short, I continued the probiotics for another week and the problem was gone. I spoke to my doctor about the findings and she dismissed them without comment. She simply said that the skin problem passed in 3-4 weeks as expected. I told him that the problem didn’t start to subside until I started the probiotic regimen.
Remember, the colon, intestines, gut or whatever has a huge impact on our health. We can’t overlook the importance of a healthy colon, but we now know that we must replace the good bacteria or other problems may arise. There is a great marriage between colon cleansing and probiotics. The probiotics continue after the honeymoon is over to finish the job properly.
