My life would have been so much better if I had known this decades ago. Now my focus is to heal from level 6 of 12 liver cirrhosis. May God continue to bless the work you do.
Hello @pmctee. Thank you for sharing with us, and don't be so hard on yourself. We are grateful that you have this opportunity to make better health choices even if it's later than you would have liked. The old saying goes "better late than never" 😊 We pray for the best in you're health journey!
Mrs. O’Neill, May God bless you and your team in continuing to disseminate this knowledge and with the gift of articulating so clearly. Thank you so much.
Barbara, Yeshua's angels around you are pouring out His favor, protection, blessing and grace on you & through you. My minds-eye/pineal/God receptor also sees the fallen angels assigned to you trying their best to stop God's will & what he has ordained to be at such a time as this. It's like trying to hold back Victoria Falls! Peace & love, you wonderful woman!! 💛
I cried during the explanation of the phases, hearing the explanation of phase 2 was what i need to move forward in my knowledge of liver healing! Protein!!! So simple yet so complex! Thank Dr. Many blessing!
Lately I have been accompanying videos and more videos of DRA Barbara O Neill and I am loving all the information she gives about how to take care of health, I am learning a lot about nutrition with these videos. Thank you very much for posting these videos, a big hug from BRAZIL, RECIFE a Dr BARBARA and everyone involved.
I just reply to John Knowles...its long but detail how I came off bipolar and anti depression meds kind of a cold turkey (meaning I wean myself off in 1 wk) BUT I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR ANYONE TO DO THIS WITHOUT THEIR DR ADVICE... You see I have to be my own Dr and Detective..

Hi Barbara, what a blessing it has been to watch these videos. I have been trained very briefly on Medical Missionary work and have had my own health issues. There is so much misinformation on the internet and it can sometimes be so confusing. When I got terribly sick 4 years ago I turned to that wonderful book called Counsels on Diet and foods. God truly has given us so much insight as a people and I am praying that the more SDAs may start to appreciate this light. God bless your ministry and would love to meet you... Maybe not in this Life but in heaven. God bless and press on till Jesus Comes. Lots of love from South Africa.
Great complements. We as a people need to encourage each other to get back to the true source of knowledge, which is the law and the testimonies. We all that have made a choice to be in good health needs to have a direct communication with this woman as a consultant and health lecturer or advisor. Be in good health there in south Africa
Absolutely LOVE listening to you.. since I’ve discovered you, I’ve changed to plant based meals.. everything you say & the way you explain it makes so much sense. Thank you Barbara for sharing your knowledge. ❤

Liver: Carbohydrates overload (cereal, bread, bagels, cakes, pie, cookies, pasta, rice, potatoes, rice, and sugar). Carbs foods break down and make glucose and gets sent into the cells. Liver first sends the glucose to cells. Then second to glycogen to pyruvate, oxygen anaerobic as muscles start working. Glycogen, then the excess so that isn’t used for energy, it’s stored in fat cells. On high carb diet, body stores excess in fat cells. Another name for carbs is starch. Fiber, protein and fat William Benty in1850, then Atkins diet- if stop the carbs, body will loose the fat. A lot of energy, uweight just fell off! So, Now we have a lot more Palio, Keto, etc. Body needs these essentials- 50%protein 50%fat. Carbs are ok if they are the right kind and not in excess. Drop carbs to heal diabetes! If you do the formula, you’ll get the results. Cancer cells can’t survive in presence of oxygen! Cancer loves sugar if you deprive cancer cells glucose they don’t survive! 12 weeks no fruit even at first, to heal from cancer. Food- Protein- Carbs Grain- high- high Legume(beans)- high- med. to low Seeds- high- low Nuts- high- low Get you Protein from Legumes(beans), instead of meat. It’s not the butter on bread, it’s the bread. Cholesterol: HDL Carries away the bad LDL Repairer and Rebuilder LDL delivers fat to the brain, which it needs! Can plug up hole to keep from bleeding to death, it’s repairing but the original problems are caused from smoking, alcohol, sugar, mold, other harmful things, that your body tries 5o use the LDL cholesterol to repair, it shows as build up and is blamed. What causes heart disease? Damage to the arterial wall! The Great Cholesterol Lie Breast milk is very important for brain development and immune system for newborn children and animals. Vegetarians can get heart disease. LDL plugs up the holes, it’s just trying to repair what’s wrong, because LDL repairs. It’s not cholesterol that’s a problem! Mercury poisoning from fish and mercury fillings, causes memory loss Ancel Keys found 11 countries that appeared to support his claims, it’s not the fat, it’s the carbs. Cholesterol level use to be normal 300 now they are saying keep cholesterol under 200! The liver needs the protection of good fats in diet for neurological, brain. Without essential fats, these fat soluble foods to prevent and heal these brain/neuro things, like Parkinson’s, MS, Depression, Schizophrenia, and other illnesses that are caused by not enough good fats, such as coconut oil, olive oil, etc.(?) 2 Day fast better than longer fast. Why??? Protein- vegetarians, use pea proteins.
I'm very pleased in that, I've found so many connections from her dedication in knowledge hunting in which I am . I pissed to be quiet honest with you all , Just having problems with the free choice source has integrated into his imagination for us . To see earth the way it is, human behavior is dug in. You have awakened. You have the un awakened. God is playing every role , but doesn't know it , Thank you Barbara,
Knowledge is never old, listen to this amazing undiluted truth, many lives would have been or saved from going down to the grave. The surface money making ventures of today's practitioners have contributed to the unprecedented deaths of many whose lives would have been preserved had they been told the courses of sickness and how to get rid of many complications invading the human race. God bless the woman
Yes, peel the pineapple BUT don't throw the pineapple rinds away - the yeast on the pineapple rind starts off a fermentation party to make Tepaché out of! It's good - tastes like pineapple beer.
I was a vegan for a long number of years but I became sick early on and it continually progressed until I began to eat meat. Now a lot of these foods that she's speaking of cause a lot of problems for me so I wish she would address things like a histamine intolerance or leaky gut syndrome because these kinds of foods legumes and a lot of vegetables are very irritating to your intestines if you have issues like that.
Hi Barbara, I'm so grateful that we stumbled upon your videos. My husband has prostrate cancer and we've been working hard at beating it through diet and lifestyle changes. For about 8 months we did the Gerson Therapy and had a slight decrease in his PSA. We flipped to the Keto diet in Sept. 2018 and had a huge drop and we were so elated, but since then ( he has a PSA test every 6 weeks or so) he's had a huge jump. A big part of the Gerson Therapy is coffee enemas. How do you feel about this? or how would you recommend detoxing his project manager? God Bless you and the work that you are doing!

Greetings from Serbia. I felt a kidney tumor under my fingers from the front. They removed the tumor, thank God, but the kidney remained. Tell me, Barbara, what should I eat and drink? Thank you.
I eat potatoes, sweet potatoes fruit including lots of bananas and I keep the fats low. I'm not overweight at all. Too much fat in the blood prevents the glucose from getting into the cells which is the cause of diabetes. Too much fat causes a fatty liver, too much fat thickens the blood and lowers the oxygen in the blood. A fatty liver and thicker blood puts a strain on the heart as it has to work a lot harder to pump the blood through the fatty liver. We run on glucose not fat! Eat enough carbs to maintain your weight and keep the fats low!
I’m confused how do you throw away the brown water away but keep the water you cooked your beans in . What sauce are you talking about ? Thanks are you saying just to wipe away the sticky brown stuff that accumulates on the pot away,you call that pot liquor but then you say after cooking with three quarters full of water you’ll have your pot liquor

I beg to differ with regard to carbs. Abraham made a meal of bread, milk, and meat for the 3 visitors that came to his tent, one of which turned out to be God. Its the Glysophate they spray on the wheat in the US that everyone is allergic to.
Do you know anything about hyper PARA thyroid…not the thyroid but the 4 parathyroids? I was diagnosed but the docs have no reason WHY or HoW it happens let alone how to heal.
Hello Barbara, I am breastfeeding I stop sugar I only used 100% honey, I limit my carb in take. I had chronic constipations for years. I listen to your lectures, now I don’t drink water/tea with meal and I chew my food. Now I have BM twice a day. Thank you. I also take probiotics 10 billion mornings. I take Omega pills. The other night I got gallstone attack very painful. I don’t know what’s causing the gallstones it’s because my organs start function now and it’s confused? Please help. I don’t want have surgery to remove it. Thank you
Mizzfm1 Dear Mizzim1, That is good news that you are seeing improvements in your bowel movements. The years that you were not eating right are the cause of your gall attack. Castor oil compresses can help to break up the stones. Liver herbs like St Mary’s Thistle And Dandelion can help as well. Regards, Barbara O’Neill Misty Mountain health director
Thank you for responding. It’s same to take these while breastfeeding? I heard castor oil not safe while breastfeeding is that true? I really appreciated your time.
Mizzfm1 Dear Mizzfm1, It is not safe to ingest castor oil, but it is very safe to apply to the skin over the liver area, as you would to help Recover from gall stones. Even though your body is functioning well now, the stones can be the result of many years of constipation. Liver herbs can help. St Mary’s Thistle and Dandelion are 2 of the best. They can be bought in a tabletform. Regards, Barbara O’Neill Misty Mountain health director
Perhaps this will help you: THE COLON Dr Kellogg was the Health director of the Battle Creek sanitarium in the mid-1800s and wrote many books on health. He is on record as stating that 3 intakes of food a day, should equal 3 evacuations. Once a day being constipation. Even when the following lifestyle and dietary principles are implemented, some colons still remain sluggish, or overactive. The cells lining the colon can develop these habits and need help to develop habits of regularity. The Colon has a mind of its own, and will not follow your commands! Gentle stimulation can encourage regular movement and reestablish habits of daily evacuations. We will now discuss what stimulates and what inhibits.
*BREATHING High chest breathing can contribute to constipation. Abdominal breathing uses the diaphragm and gently massages the colon. The habit of high chest breathing robs the muscles covering the colon of this necessary stimulation The abdominal muscles were designed to aid in the breathing process. Weak diaphragm, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles; poor posture; tight belts and clothing around the waist all inhibit abdominal breathing. This means less oxygen delivery to the cells, thus less energy. Stand tall, and breathe from below the belt to help your colon. These muscles are like all muscles in that the more they are used, the stronger the become. *SUNSHINE Lack of stimulation can contribute to constipation. The sun stimulates blood supply wherever it touches. Allowing the sun to touch the abdomen and thus penetrate deep into the colon, stimulates blood supply to the whole colon. Expose the abdomen to the sun for at least 15 minutes as often as possible. *STOP THE CAUSE Caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugar, chemicals, and drugs all have a dehydrating effect on the colon thus slowing down and inhibiting transit time through the colon. These substances also can inhibit the action of the healthy bacteria. In some cases, even kill it off, like glyphosate, antibiotics, pain killing medication, statin drugs, the contraceptive pill, and refined sugar. Meat, dairy and refined foods lack the fiber which is necessary for stimulating peristalsis, and so are contributing to constipation. In the process of hybridizing wheat in the 1950’s, the gluten or protein structure was changed. The result was a very complex structure making it very difficult to breakdown in the gut. Constipation or diarrhea can be the result. An integral part of conquering any bowel problem, is to cease wheat. *REST All organs of the body work in cycles. They love regularity, and the colon is no exception. It is affected by what is happening further back in the gut, especially the stomach. As we have one stomach which averages 3,1/2 to 4 hours at digesting the food we eat, leaving 5 hours between meals gives the stomach and colon rest times. Eating lightly, or not at night allows the stomach to sleep when we sleep. This also effects colon rest, and helps to restore regularity. To do this we need to eat breakfast like a king (insulin sensitivity is at its height in the am) Lunch like a queen and tea or supper like a pauper. Between the hours of 9pm and 2am, hormones are released from the Pineal gland in the brain. These hormones are responsible for rest and healing every cell in the body. The colon included. The Circadian rhythm is the rhythm that our brain runs effectively on. It is set by early morning light and sleeping between 9pm and 2am. Artificial light, especially from screen, in the hours we should be sleeping, disrupt Circadian rhythm. The gut is Circadian, Evening bugs are different to morning bugs and they all have different functions. *EXERCISE Lack of exercise contributes to constipation. Exercise causes movement in the colon, as well as increasing blood flow to the colon. The most effective exercises are rebounding, Pilates, swimming and brisk walking as all these movements involve the core or abdominal muscles. The seeping breathing that results from high Intensity exercises also strengthens the diaphragm. This in turn directly effects the colon as it is situated behind these muscles. Daily exercise is essential for effective colon function. High Intensity Interval Training takes all the exercises to a higher level and has a more profound effect on the colon. *POSITION The Wrong position when evacuating can cause constipation Throughout Asia and Africa, for thousands of years, squatting was the position commonly used when passing a bowel motion. Still today in many areas in these countries the toilets are a hole in the floor. Science now shows why this is a superior position. In the last section of the colon, the rectum, the colon has a slight kink. This kink is the result of the muscle, puborectalis, holding this part of the colon up. There is still some space for the contents to pass through. The design is to prevent accidents. Sitting for the daily evacuation can contribute to constipation. When sitting on the “throne”, puborectalis remains firm, but in the squatting position, this muscle relaxes which causes the colon to open wider allowing the full evacuation of the rectum with great ease. As this position prevents great pressure on the anus, it not only aides in the healing of all colon problems, but also prevents and helps to heal hemorrhoids. *FOOD As previously mentioned, meat and refined carbohydrates contain no fiber. Lack of fiber can cause constipation. Fiber is required to not only stimulate peristalsis but also to sweep the many little grooves and folds that make up the structure of the colon. The highest fiber foods are vegetables and fruit. All plant foods contain fiber, so this includes whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Fiber also encourages the growth of the “healthy bacteria” in the gut. Called Probiotics. Legumes need a 12-hour soak, thorough rinse, brought to the boil and rinsed again. Then long slow cooking. This process increases the body’s ability to digest them effectively. Nuts and seeds need to be chewed to a cream state. Whole gains are best cooked in a slow cooker to ensure a thorough breakdown of the starch granules, or ground to a flour and cultured with the sourdough method of making bread. This predigests the starch and protein in the grain. Cultured foods ensure a proper balance of microbes in the gut as well. An imbalance dramatically effects colon function. Refined sugars, including alcohol and refined grains feed pathogens and can inhibit the function of the healthy bacteria living in the gut. Constant eating wipes out many healthy microbes in the colon. All drugs, vaccines and chemicals disrupt the fine balance of microbes in the gut. Cortisone, statin drugs, antibiotics, contraceptive pill, pain killing medications and glyphosate can kill off the healthy or beneficial bacteria in the gut. Miso, Kefir, sour kraut, yoghurt are some of the cultured foods that can help to restore and maintain the healthy bacteria. In the 1950’s wheat was put through intensive cross breeding to produce a plant with a higher yield of grain. The aim was to help resolve the starvation crisis in Mexico, India and Africa. This higher yield was achieved, but what was never addressed was the effect of this grain on the gut. In the hybridization process a very complex gluten or protein structure was created that is very difficult for the gut to process. One of the effects of this altered structure is that it can contribute to constipation and all bowel problems. *WATER. Dehydration can be a large contributing factor in constipation. One of the main functions of the colon is to take water out so that stools are formed and the contents can be passed with ease. On an average, the body loses 2 ½ liters of water a day, 2 liters must be replaced, the other 500ml can be supplied by our fruits and vegetables and herb teas. In a state of dehydration, the body takes more water from the colon in an attempt to maintain full blood volume in the arteries. As a result the contents of the colon loses its much needed moisture and the contents can become dry and hard, making it difficult to pass the stools, thus contributing to constipation. Caffeine, as a dehydrating agent, is a major contributing factor today to constipation.
*THE MIND “Tight mind; tight colon” said Margaret Wright, she was one of Australia’s leading experts in Colonic irrigation. Stress, anxiety and worry can all have their effect on the colon. For some It results in constipation, others may react with diarrhea. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (and the colon!) Proverbs 17:22 Laughter, love, joy and peace relax the colon. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, he whose mind is stayed upon Thee, because he trusteth in Thee” Isiah 26:3. Peace of mind, relaxes the colon. Stress in the life needs to be addressed when conquering all bowel problems. NATURAL TREATMENTS The human body has been designed to heal itself and it will heal, if given the right conditions. We have discussed what not to do and what to do regarding diet and lifestyle. Now we will discuss some treatments specific for encouraging healing in the colon. ||||CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES Castor oil compresses over the abdominal area for at least 5 hours a day, for at least 5 days a week. This oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has the ability to break up lumps, bumps and congestion. This treatment can be used for constipation or diarrhea. Moisten a few layers of cloth with the oil. This oil is so thick it can take about 20 minutes to soak through. When applied to the area, cover with a sheet of plastic to protect clothing. As a compress, this can be reused maybe a dozen times before discarding. Each day a little more castor oil may need to be added. #HAEMORROIDS Often a result of pressure overload on the last part of the colon resulting in “a bubble” of the colon wall coming out the anus. Sometimes there can be several. Constipation and pregnancy are the 2 main causes. This is a very uncomfortable condition and can be quite painful. Drinking more water and eating more fiber in the diet to soften the stools can help prevent and heal from hemorrhoids. We will now discuss a few natural remedies that can bring relief and help to heal. SUPPOSITORIES For HAEMORRHOIDS 1)Castor oil suppositories can be made to bring relief and heal hemorrhoids. A cotton ball is soaked with castor oil and molded into the shape of the little finger. It is then frozen, this may take 2-3 days. The suppository is then inserted into the anus as far as able just before retiring at night 2)Aloe Vera suppositories can also be made for the above condition. The Aloe Vera leaf is peeled and strips are cut approximately the size of the little finger. These are frozen; when solid they can be inserted. as the castor oil suppositories, just before retiring at night. These 2 suppositories can be alternated each night. HYDROTHERAPY Sitz baths, described in the hydrotherapy chapter, not also speed the healing of hemorrhoids, but can bring a lot of relief. #CONSTIPATION Unfortunately, constipation is often a result of the fast food age and too common today. Usually a result of lack of fiber and dehydration. In the Temperance section, the main dehydrators were quoted. As Quoted earlier, Dr Kellogg stated, “3 meals a day should equal 3 evacuations a day. 2 meals a day should equal 2 evacuations a day” We will now look at how the colon can be encouraged to reset the regularity pattern. lll/ P.A.N.I.C. Promptly, Answer, Nature’s, Immediate, Call. An important part of returning regularity is to listen to the body and resist the temptation to delay answering the body’s call to evacuate. |||/ COLON TEA . This tea is a combination of herbs that gently restore and revive colon function and contains = 1 part Cascara Sagrada 2 part Licorice 3 part Buckthorn These roots and barks are mixed in a jar. 1 teaspoon of these herbs is gently simmered in a cup of water for 10 minutes. The dose changes from person to person. Some need 1/2 cup a day and a severely constipated person may even need 3 cups a day. If 3 cups are required, they are best taken morning, noon and evening. Most people find that a cup taken before retiring at night will help to encourage morning evacuation. Taking this tea regularly, combined with the lifestyle and dietary principles discussed, can cause a turn around with constipation. As these points are implemented the person will find they need less and less of the tea. This may take 4-6 months, depending on the severity of the situation. lll/ CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES These can be worn overnight. Castor oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has the ability to help breakup old matter and cleanse the colon. |||/ COLONIC IRRIGATIONS Colonic Irrigation is a bowel treatment using warm water. The treatment takes 45-50 minutes and warm water is gently running in and out for this time through a network of tubes. This has the effect to soften old buildup on the walls of the colon and to clean out any pockets of accumulated waste. The colonic can also loosen the hard covering on diverticulitis. This treatment requires a trained therapist with the required equipment to be administered. The Colic irrigation can aid in the healing of all colon problems. ENEMA At home a person can give themselves a warm water enema. 1,1/2 cups of water at a time. This can quickly relieve constipation initially. Also, 4 enemas in a row at 10-minute Intervals can have a similar effect to a colonic irrigation. Ill/ SITZ BATHS This treatment is explained in detail in the Hydrotherapy section and entails sitting in alternating hot and cold baths. #COLITIS, CHRONES DISEASE, IRRITABLE BOWEL DISEASE, GASTRITIS. All these conditions are an indication that there is inflammation in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the same conditions as previously discussed, apply to encourage healing. Implementing these lifestyle and dietary principles will contribute to healing the gut. An important exclusion is to eliminate anything that may irritate the colon wall in its inflamed state. The most common foods to do this are wheat, oats, dairy and refined sugar. It can take at least 2 months to see the effect once these foods are ceased. lll/ HERBS Slippery Elm is the powdered bark of the Slippery Elm Tree. It is slightly glutenous in structure when mixed with water. This is one of the reasons that it soothes and heals as it lines the gut. Slippery Elm also contains a growth stimulant which stimulates rapid healing in the lining of the gut. In a crisis, if the person has chronic diarrhea, Slippery Elm can be taken every 1/2 hour. As the frequency of bowel movements eases, so can the dose. Taken before breakfast, and before retiring at night is the usual maintenance dose. 1 teaspoon is stirred into 1/3 cup of boiling water, then 1/2 cup of cold water is stirred in. This ensures no lumps in the mix. Aloe Vera is another “slippery” herb that also coats and soothes the lining of the gut. It also contains a growth stimulant. Aloe Vera juice can be bought, or the leaf can be peeled and blended with a little water or juice. Ginger and peppermint tea both contain anti-inflammatory properties and can be drunk freely to help relieve the inflammation. lll/ PROBIOTICS Often there is an imbalance in gut flora. Initially probiotic supplement may be needed. Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidus Bacterium are the 2 permanent bacteria’s in the gastrointestinal tract. All others develop from these 2. A supplement containing at least 5 billion of each should be taken 3/4 hour at least before breakfast. Including cultured foods in the diet can also help much in maintaining the necessary microbial balance. Sour Kraut, Miso, Kumbucha, Kefir and Yoghurt (the last 2 can be effectively made on organic soy milk and coconut milk). lll/ CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES Castor oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has a cleansing and soothing effect as it penetrates deep into the colon through the abdominal wall. The compress was explained earlier and can be worn overnight, or for at least 5 hours a day. lll/ SITZ BATHS. This treatment is explained in detail in The Hydrotherapy section in this book. It includes sitting in a hot tub for 3 minutes and a cold tub for 30 seconds and is continued until 3 hot and 3 cold have been completed. The reason it plays an important part in healing the gut is found in its ability to increase the blood supply to the area. Ideally Sitz baths should be done twice daily, at least once, if this is not possible. As these principles are introduced into the life, the colon will begin to revive and restore its function. Remember we are creatures of habit, and the colon can develop habits. “Nature’s process of healing and upbuilding is gradual and to the impatient it seems slow. The surrender of hurtful indulgences requires sacrifice: but in the end it will be found that nature, untrammeled does her work wisely and well.” Page 127 Ministry of Healing by Ellen White.

I eat only HIGH ALKALINE FOODS..NO HYBRIDS..NO GMO..NO PROCESS..NO MEAT NO FISH NO DAIRY NO SUGAR..I WILL SAY I AM HEALTHY ..but I have a dry cough in the middle of the night I use honey...
Loved the lesson. My bowel has always been slow no matter what I do. Changing my diet with all the advice and it is the same. Do you have any suggestions. I have a low carb high fibre diet with water and salt. Any advice would be appreciated.
CONNECTING WITH THE COLON Dr Kellog was the Health director of the Battle Creek sanitarium in the mid 1800s and wrote many books on health. He is on record as stating that 3 intakes of food a day, should equal 3 evacuations. Once a day being constipation. Even when the following lifestyle and dietary principles are implemented, some colons still remain sluggish, or overactive. The cells lining the colon 3can develop these habits and need help to develop habits of regularity. The Colon has a mind of its own, and will not follow your commands! Gentle stimulation can encourage regular movement and reestablish habits of daily evacuations. We will now discuss what can stimulate and what inhibits proper colon function. *BREATHING High chest breathing can contribute to colon problems. Abdominal breathing uses the diaphragm and gently massages the colon. The habit of high chest breathing robs the muscles covering the colon of this necessary stimulation The abdominal muscles were designed to aid in the breathing process. Weak diaphragm, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles; poor posture; tight belts and clothing around the waist all inhibit abdominal breathing. This means less oxygen delivery to the cells, thus less energy. Stand tall, and breathe from below the belt to help massage your colon.These muscles are like all muscles in that the more they are used, the stronger the become. *SUNSHINE Lack of stimulation can contribute to a compromised colon. The sun stimulates blood supply wherever it touches. Allowing the sun to touch the abdomen and thus penetrate deep into the colon, stimulates blood supply to the whole colon. Expose the abdomen to the sun for at least 15 minutes as often as possible. *STOP POSSIBLE CAUSES MICROBE DISRUPTION Stimulants- Caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugar , chemicals, and drugs all have a dehydrating effect on the colon thus slowing down and inhibiting transit time through the colon. These substances also inhibit the action of the healthy bacteria. In some cases even kill it off. Chemicals- Chemicals can enter our body in many ways and greatly compromise and disrupt the delicate balance of our gut flora. Roundup or glyphosate is used as a herbicide. Unless your vegetables are organically grown, they probably contain this toxic chemical. Beware of the chemicals in washing detergents, cleaning solutions, soaps, toothpaste, personal care products, perfumes. Little by little they are coming into the body and interfering with the precision balance in our gut microbes. Most drugs kill the friendly flora, antibiotics, pain killing medication, statin drugs, the contraceptive pill, to name a few. The Microbes role- When our intestines have a nice thick mucosa lining, populated with healthy microbes, they are able to- -release the B vitamins from our food, -guarantee absorption of the nutrients from our food into the blood, -protect the blood from harmful pathogens and partially digested foods( including lectins), --nourish the cells that line our gut. Meat, dairy and refined foods lack the fibre which is necessary for stimulating peristalsis, and so are contributing to diseases of the colon. In the process of hybridising wheat in the 1950’s, the gluten or protein structure was changed. The result was a very complex structure making it very difficult to breakdown in the gut. Constipation or diarrhoea can be the result. . *REST All organs of the body work in cycles. They love regularity, and the colon is no exception. It is effected by what is happening further back in the gut, especially the stomach. As we have one stomach which averages 3,1/2 to 4 hours at digesting the food we eat, leaving 5 hours between meals gives the stomach and colon rest times. Eating lightly, or not at night allows the stomach to sleep when we sleep. This also effects colon rest, and helps to restore regularity. To do this we need to eat breakfast like a king ( insulin sensitivity is at its height in the am) Lunch like a queen and tea or supper like a pauper. Between the hours of 9pm and 2am, hormones are released from the Pineal gland in the brain.. These hormones are responsible for rest and healing every cell in the body. The colon included. The Circadian rhythm is the rhythm that our brain runs effectively on. It is set by early morning light and sleeping between 9pm and 2am. Artificial light, especially from short range screens, in the hours we should be sleeping, disrupt Circadian rhythm. The gut is Circadian, Evening bugs are different to morning bugs and they all have different functions. *EXERCISE Exercise causes movement in the colon, as well as increasing blood flow to the colon. The most effective exercises are rebounding, Pilates, swimming and brisk walking as all these movements involve the core or abdominal muscles, which cover the colon. The deep breathing that results from high Intensity exercises also strengthens the diaphragm. This in turn directly effects the colon as the diaphragm is situated at the top of the core muscles. Daily exercise is essential for effective colon function. High Intensity Interval Training takes all the exercises to a higher level and has a more profound effect on the colon. *POSITION Position makes a difference. Throughout Asia and Africa, for thousands of years, squatting was the position commonly used when passing a bowel motion. Still today in many areas in these countries the toilets are tiled and flush, but a hole in the floor. Science now shows why this is a superior position. In the last section of the colon, there is a slight kink. This kink is the result of the muscle, puborectalis, holding the final part of the colon up. There is still some space for the contents to pass through. Puborectalis serves an important role is preventing “accidents”. When sitting on the “throne”, puborectalis remains firm, but in the squatting position, this muscle relaxes which causes the colon to open wider allowing the full evacuation of the rectum with greater ease. As this position prevents unnecessary pressure on the anus, it not only aides in the healing of all colon problems, but also prevents and helps to heal haemorrhoids. *FOOD LECTINS In Genesis 1: 29 we find God’s design for food for humans. “ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it shall be for meat.” This covers grains, legumes and seeds. The fruit of a tree yielding seed is the nuts. It is true that these seeds and nuts contain lectins. Lectins are a plant protein, put there by God as a defence mechanism, integral to the plants survival. Lectins only really pose a problem to the human gut if- -the gut mucosal lining and flora are compromised, -and the “seeds”are not properly prepared as food. We have already covered the various chemical and foods that can destroy the gut flora. Unripe fruit is much higher in lectins. We should always be sure that fruit and vegetables are eaten when ripe. Soaking, rinsing well and pressure cooking grains and legumes kills the lectins. The Sour Dough method of making bread kills the lectins in the grains. The nightshade group of vegetables are particularly high in lectins, this includes potatoes, capsicum, eggplant and tomatoes. Europeans traditionally, skinned and deseeded tomatoes when cooking them. The skins and seeds of the tomato and capsicum are where the highest lectin content is found. FIBRE Fibre is required to not only stimulate peristalsis but also to sweep the many little grooves and folds that make up the structure of the colon. The highest fibre foods are vegetables and fruit. All plant foods contain fibre, so this includes whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Fibre, especially vegetable and leafy green fibre, encourages the growth of the “healthy bacteria” in the gut. Called Prebiotics. Legumes need a 12 hour soak, thorough rinse, brought to the boil and rinsed again. Then long slow cooking or pressure cooking. This process increases the body’s ability to digest them effectively as well as killing the lectins. Nuts and seeds need to be chewed to a cream state. Whole gains are best cooked in a slow cooker to ensure a thorough breakdown of the starch granules, or pressure cooked. Grains can also be ground to a flour and cultured with the sourdough method of making bread. This predigests the starch and protein in the grain. The sour dough culture kills lectins. The grains containing no lectins are sorghum and millet. Cultured foods ensure a proper balance of microbes in the gut as well. An imbalance dramatically effects colon function. Sauerkraut, yoghurt, kefir and miso, are some well known cultured foods In the 1950’s wheat was put through intensive cross breeding to produce a plant with a higher yield of grain. The aim was to help resolve the starvation crisis in Mexico, India and Africa. This higher yield was achieved, but what was never addressed was the effect of this grain on the gut. In the hybridisation process a very complex gluten or protein structure was created that is very difficult for the gut to process. Gluten is probably the most famous lectin. Spelt, Kumut, Einkenhorn are all variations of the original wheat and have not been hybridised.
*WATER. Dehydration can be a large contributing factor in a compromised colon. One of the main functions of the colon is to take water out so that stools are formed and the contents can be passed with ease. On an average, the body loses 2,1/2 litres of water a day, 2 litres must be replaced, the other 500ml can be supplied by our fruits and vegetables and herb teas. In a state of dehydration the body takes more water from the colon in an attempt to maintain full blood volume in the arteries. As a result the contents of the colon loses its much needed moisture and the contents can become dry and hard, making it difficult to pass the stools, thus contributing to constipation. *THE MIND “Tight mind; tight colon” said Margaret Wright, who was one of Australia’s leading experts in Colonic irrigation therapy. Stress, anxiety and worry can all have their effect on the colon. For some It results in constipation, others may react with diarrhoea. “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (and the colon!) Proverbs 17:22 Laughter, love ,joy and peace relax the colon. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, he whose mind is stayed upon Thee, because he trusteth in Thee” Isiah 26:3. Peace of mind, relaxes the colon. Stress in the life needs to be addressed when conquering all bowel problems. NATURAL TREATMENTS ------------ The human body has been designed to heal itself and it will heal, if given the right conditions. We have discussed the conditions that the colon requires for healing, regarding diet and lifestyle . Now we will explain some treatments for specific diseases in the colon. ||||CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES This compress is a common denominator to aid in the healing of the conditions about to be discussed. Castor oil compresses can be applied to the abdominal area for at least 5 hours a day, for at least 5 days a week. This oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has the ability to break up lumps, bumps and congestion and also adhesions and scar tissue. Wherever castor oil penetrates it cleanses and stimulates healing. This treatment can be used for constipation or diarrhoea also diverticulitis. TO MAKE THE COMPRESS Moisten a few layers of cloth with the oil. This oil is so thick it can take about 20 minutes to soak through. This cloth pad is then applied to the abdominal area ( hip bone to hip bone, belly button to pubic bone). When in place, cover with a sheet of plastic to protect clothing. Often the clothing, in the form of underpants, can hold the compress in place. As a compress, this can be reused maybe a dozen times before discarding because it is not absorbing anything from the body, but rather, acting as a vehicle to hold the castor oil enabling the skin to take it up. Castor oil penetrates through the skin, then moves deep into the body. Each day a little more castor oil may need to be added. #HAEMORRHOIDS ---------- Often a result of pressure overload on the last part of the colon resulting in swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. Constipation, obesity, and pregnancy are the main causes. This is a very uncomfortable condition and can be quite painful , and sometimes accompanied with bleeding. Drinking more water and eating more fibre in the diet to soften the stools can help prevent constipation. We will now discuss a few natural remedies that can bring relief and help to heal. SUPPOSITORIES For HAEMORRHOIDS 1)Castor oil oil suppositories can be made to bring relief and heal haemorrhoids. A cotton ball is soaked with castor oil and moulded into the shape of the little finger. It is then frozen, this may take 2-3 days. The suppository is then inserted into the anus as far as able just before retiring at night 2)Aloe Vera suppositories can also be made for haemorrhoids. The Aloe Vera leaf is peeled and strips of the clear gel are cut into the size of the little finger. These are frozen; when solid they can be inserted into the anus just before retiring at night. These 2 suppositories can be alternated each night. HYDROTHERAPY Sitz baths have been used for centuries, especially across Europe are an effective way to increase healing in the pelvic floor area. Two tubs, big enough to sit in are needed, one for hot water and one for cold, with ice cubes. The hot is sat in for 3 minutes, then the cold for 30 seconds. This whole procedure is repeated 2 more times. Ensure that the hot is kept hot. Sitz baths are described in more detail in the hydrotherapy chapter . They not only speed the healing of haemorrhoids, but can bring a lot of relief. These can be done at least once a day, twice if possible. #CONSTIPATION --------- Unfortunately constipation is often a result of the fast food age and too common today. Usually caused by a lack of fibre and exercise, also dehydration. Irregularities in lifestyle and also inability to deal with stress can be contributing factors. In the Temperance section, the main dehydrators were listed which also play a part in constipation. As Quoted earlier, Dr Kellogg stated, “ 3 meals a day should equal 3 evacuations a day. 2 meals a day should equal 2 evacuations a day” We will now look at how the colon can be encouraged to reset the regularity pattern. lll/ P.A.N.I.C. Promptly, Answer, Nature’s, Immeadiate, Call. An important part of returning regularity in the colon, is to listen to the body and resist the temptation to delay answering the body’s call to evacuate. When the body says go! We must go! |||/ COLON TEA . This tea is a combination of herbs that gently restore and revive colon function and contains = 1 part Cascara Segrada 2 part Licorace 3 part Buckthorn These roots and barks are mixed in a jar. 1 teaspoon of these herbs is gently simmered in a cup of water for 10 minutes. The dose changes from person to person. Some need 1/2 cup a day and a severely constipated person may even need 3 cups a day. If 3 cups are required, they are best taken morning, noon and evening. Most people find that a cup taken before retiring at night will help to encourage morning evacuation. Taking this tea regularly, Combined with the lifestyle and dietary principles discussed, can cause a turn around with constipation. As these points are implemented the person will find they need less and less of the tea. This may take 4-6 months, depending on the severity of the situation. lll/ CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES These can be worn overnight, or for at least five hours a day for five days a week. Castor oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has the ability to help breakup old matter and cleanse the colon. |||/ COLONIC IRRIGATIONS Colonic Irrigation Therapy is a bowel treatment using warm water. This technique takes 45-50 minutes and warm water is gently running in and out of the colon for this time, through a net work of tubes. This has the effect to soften old buildup on the walls of the colon and to clean out any pockets of accumulated waste. The colonic can also loosen the hard covering on diverticulitis. This treatment requires a trained therapist with the required equipment, to be administered. The Colic irrigation can aid in the healing of all colon problems. 3 treatment are often advised over a 2 week period. ENEMA At home a person can give themselves a warm water enema. 1,1/2 cups of water at a time. After the water is taken in to the colon, the person can lie on their back and massage their abdomen, endeavouring to hold the water for approximately 10 minutes. They can then sit on the toilet to evacuate.This can quickly relieve constipation initially. 4 enemas in a row at 15 minute Intervals can have a similar effect to a colonic irrigation. Called a high enema, by the fourth enema, the whole of the colon can be reached. Ill/ SITZ BATHS This treatment is explained in the Haemorrhoids section, and is described in more detail in the Hydrotherapy chapter. Testimony Sue came to the retreat to improve her health. She had worked as a psychologist for 40 years, but had been plagued with constipation most of that time. To help manage her condition she would take a medication once a week to cause an evacuation. Every day at the retreat, for 5 days, Sue had a Colonic Irrigation treatment. Each night she applied a castor oil compress to her abdomen. To produce 2 evacuations a day, Sue found she needed to take 3 cups of Colon tea over the day. By the third day, the whites in Sue’s eye became white instead of a dull “off”white. The skin on her face lost the “grey”look and became pink. Sue testified that she felt better than she had felt for years. Even her mind was clearer. To the extent that she wondered how many of her depressed patients might be constipated! Sue left our retreat a very satisfied customer, looking forward to the future instead of considering retirement. The effect of diet and lifestyle was an eye opener, and Sue was keen to implement what she had learned as she returned home.
@@LivingSpringsRetreat This is an entire naturopathic lesson. Brilliant! Only natural healers can be this generous with knowledge. I've never seen such a response to a question on any RUclips channel. Ever!
GM, Sister Barbara, do you have Lectures on Thyroid issues for a Family member, I'm implementing all you have for Diabetes and all it entails now! 2 meals a day Intermittent Fasting w/a bit of Ketogenic Nutrition. 🌈
We need some unprocessed complex carbs. All real food work together for our good. People are fat because of processed nutritionally depleted "food", puffs, artifical colors and flavors, processed sugars, etc. Hormones are jacked and insulin resistance. I got sick on keto and my hormones crashed. Once I started adding in some more healthy carbs, my body stopped thinking it was in famine and started letting go of fat. Hormones started to balance out again.
Hi Cynthia, You may find this helpful: H-PYLORI This green vegetable was listed as one of the most effective natural remedies of h-pylori bacteria in a medical study conducted in Japan. Broccoli sprouts contain compounds known as sulforaphane and ellagic acid that have antibacterial properties. These compounds dissolve in the bloodstream and kill the harmful bacteria gradually. Raspberry, strawberry and blueberry contain phytochemicals that fight against all types of bacteria in the human body. Ellagic acid in raspberry has been identified as a disease fighting compound. This compound in berries is so strong that its effects can be utilized by the human blood no matter how the fruits are cooked or refrigerated. The antimutagen substances in berries fight against the offending bacteria in the stomach and help cure stomach problems caused by h pylori bacteria. The extracts of cinnamon release urease enzymes in the bloodstream. These enzymes stop the catalyzing functions of the h pylori bacteria and prevent them from causing inflammatory reactions inside the stomach. In fact, if a patient of ulcers is administered with a small dose of cinnamon extract, it is said that the functioning of the h pylori bacteria in his/her stomach will immediately stop. If you cannot take raw cinnamon for its pungent flavor, add its extracts in tea or hot water and drink the solution. Goldenseal is known to work wonders against a Helicobacter pylori infection, due to its high content in volatile oils and alkaloids. Ginger and garlic pastes have been identified as good antiseptics that heal the harm already caused by h pylori bacteria in the stomach. Coconut is the most popularly used fruit to cure infection caused by h pylori bacteria. This fruit has antiseptic properties. You can also use coconut oil as an alternative. It not only kills h pylori bacteria, it also reduces pain and inflammation caused by the helicobacter pylori. Clove & Tea Tree Oil Remedy Clove oil has shown inhibitory action on the development of Helicobacter pylori infections, keeping them at bay. It also has the effect of reducing the feeling of discomfort in the gastric mucosa. You can also try sea buckthorn oil which is also amazing in protecting the stomach linen. Clove oil is a powerful natural antibiotic, which is why it’s one of the most effective herbal remedies for Helicobacter pylori.
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the worlds leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Please help don't know what to do without my gallbladder I have heartburn daily apple cider vinegar digestive enzymes low fat no choc.no caffeine no citrus oxbile dgl. Ugh ! Suggestions pls.
Heartburn can be lack of magnesium or low hydrochloric acid, or eating too much or too late at night. It is a matter of trying different things and seeing what makes a difference, which is the benefit of attending a health retreat. In order to evaluate your case more thoroughly a 1:1 consultation would be best.

Hi Barbara Is it safe to do a liver detox if you are sick? My liver is toxic and the easiest detox I came across was 3 days only apple juice and the 3rd night you have 1 cup olive oil and 1 cup lemon juice. Please help. I am in extreme pain and desperate
Dear Amanda, The simplest Liver detox is described in the Liver chapter in my book, “Self Heal by Design”. Unfortunately the apples of today are almost totally deficient in Malic acid, which is the acid that breaks up stones. If you are sick, the Liver detox will help, especially if used in conjunction with the liver herbs listed in my book. Regards, Barbara O’Neill
@@conniefisher5369 Yes I did recover within the 3 days I did the flush. I was back at work on the 4th day. I was actually misdiagnosed because I had in fact gallstones, and the liver detox I describe above flushed and cleaned the gallbladder. I also did the castor oil compress for about 6 months to make sure that the gallbladder is clear. I followed the instructions for the compress as Barbara explains in her video. Regards and best health wishes to you on your journey
Dear Carl, Allergies can arise after a child is vaccinated. Peanuts, wheat and dairy can also be the source of allergies, even in other foods.

DIABETES ----- It is estimated that 500 new diabetics are diagnosed daily in Australia. This is acknowledged to be a lifestyle disease. 400 years BC, Hippocrates, called the father of medicine, makes no mention of diabetes. In his excellent book on the history of sugar, “Sugar Blues”, William Dufty shows that diabetes began to appear as refined sugar became part of the diet. But something else has appeared in the modern diet that has contributed to the explosion in diabetes. In his book, “ Wheat Belly”, Dr William Davis explains how wheat went through intensive cross breeding in the 1950’s to produce a plant with a higher yield of grain, in an attempt to help food shortages, especially in Mexico, India and Africa. Dr Norman Borlaug, a Minnesota trained geneticist, received a Nobel prize in 1970 for this hybridised wheat which can produce 6-8 times the grain compared to the original wheat plant. But what was never addressed was the effect of the hybridisation on the wheat’s various nutritional components and the corresponding effect on those who eat it. So urgent was the cause of world hunger, that these products of agricultural research were released into the food supply without human safety concerns being part of the equation. One great change that happened was on the wheat’s starch structure. The intense cross breeding created a starch structure that has an effect to raise blood glucose levels even higher than refined sugar. The starch is Amylopectin A. To compare. Amylopectin B is in potatoes and bananas and it is relatively high on the GI list. Amylopectin C is found in legumes. Low on the GI listing. Considering this, when one contemplates how many, especially fast foods, contain wheat and sugar, it is no wonder we are seeing a pandemic of diabetes. Every drug has a side effect, and some side effects of some medications can effect the the pancreas. In the four decades where I have been helping people to manage their diabetes I have seen diabetes develop after vaccinations and also after taking a course of antibiotics. Not everyone who is vaccinated develops diabetes and not everyone who takes antibiotics develops diabetes, but there are some who have. There can be numerous causes for Diabetes, the refining of sugar, the hybridisation of wheat, coupled with the overuse of these products and the side effect of many drugs are all contributing factors. Investigation in every case is necessary to ascertain the cause. Sometimes it is obvious, sometimes not. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS ------------- PURE AIR ----- Pure air contains 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. Oxygen is the most vital element needed for life. Every one of our 100 trillion cells requires oxygen to produce energy. When our pancreatic cells are deprived of oxygen it compromises their ability to produce insulin. Chemical fumes, mouldy air, stale air and waste from industry and motor vehicles can all effect the amount of oxygen our cells receive. Our Beta cells need oxygen to effectively produce insulin. SUNSHINE ----- As the sun hits the skin a few things are happening. The suns rays warm the skin, this increases the circulation of the blood which is the oxygen carrier. Over exposure to the sun burns and damages the skin, and so discretion is needed. Also light skin should only have very brief exposure. Dark skin needs 10 times the sun exposure as light skin. As the ultraviolet B rays hit the skin, a form of cholesterol just under the skin is converted to Vitamin D. Vitamin D is required by every cell in the body, and the pancreatic cells are no exception. TEMPERANCE ------- Temperance means not taking anything into the body that will harm, and taking in moderation the good things. All good things should be done in moderation. There are some things that must be eliminated to conquer diabetes. REFINED SUGAR In his book “ Sugar Blues”, William Dufty shows that there was no Diabetes on this planet until sugar was refined. Sugar cane in its natural state does not cause a dramatic rise in blood glucose levels as the fibre slowly releases the glucose. But on the other hand, refined sugar contains nothing to slow the release of high amounts of glucose into the blood. This dramatic rise in blood glucose levels demands a corresponding high release of insulin. This constant whiplash of blood glucose levels is one of the main causes of wearing the pancreas out, contributing to diabetes. CAFFEINE The effect of caffeine on the nervous system is similar to the effect on the nervous system in a crisis. In the book “Caffeine Blues”, the author likens having a cup of coffee to meeting a tiger on the path. A crisis! In a crises, the pancreas releases glucagon, which is insulin’s partner in controlling blood glucose levels. Insulin increases glucose entering the cell which causes a drop in blood glucose BG levels while glucagon causes a release in stored glucose to raise BG levels. When a crisis arises, glucagon is released to raise BG levels supplying the needed fuel in a state of heighten activity (crisis). As taking caffeine mimics a crisis response, glucagon levels increase. This is a further drain on the pancreas. Caffeine is often found in combination with refined sugar, giving momentum to the whiplash in BG levels. WHEAT As previously noted, Dr Norman Borlaug is credited with developing the exceptionally high-yielding dwarf wheat of today. The starvation crisis certainly was relieved, but no animal or human safety testing was ever conducted on the hybridised wheat. The intensive cross breeding of the wheat, produced a starch structure ( Amylopectin A) that raises blood glucose levels very high, very fast. To give a comparison, Amylopectin B is the form of starch found in bananas and potatoes. This starch raises BS reasonably fast. It is reasonably high on the Glycemic Index.GI. But as the starch in legumes, Amylopectin C ,gives a much slower and steadier release of glucose. It sits quite low on the GI reading. As a result, the hybridised wheat of today has a disastrous effect on diabetes. Refined sugar and wheat go hand in hand in many foods, cereals, cakes, doughnuts, biscuits, cookies. These two foods are like kerosine to a fire in the case of diabetes. DAIRY Dr Colin Campbell, in his book “ The China Study” reveals how cows milk can contribute to diabetes. The research shows that in people who are unable to break down the large protein molecules in milk, find some of these molecules are getting into the blood. The body then creates antibodies to deal with these. The problem is that these milk molecules are very similar in size and shape, to the beta cells in the pancreas. The antibodies have been found to begin attacking the beta cells. Thus contributing to a reduction of insulin production, as the beta cells are the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. EXERCISE ----- Inactivity is a contributing factor with Diabetes. With our hi tech society today, many people spend long hours sitting. Not only the muscles become sluggish, but also the internal organs, including the Pancreas. Lack of activity also compromises the uptake of glucose at the insulin receptor sites on every cell. When the high carbohydrate/ refined sugar diet is consumed in conjunction with a sedentary lifestyle, this further contributes to the compromised working of the Pancreas, and insulin/ glucose absorption on the cell membrane.
REST --- Every organ of the body goes through rest and work cycles. The hours between 9pm and 2am are the hours that rest and regeneration are the most effective. These cycles are set by, 1. Temperature. The coolness of the evening tells the body that sleep is near. 2. Light and dark signals are carried through neuro chemical pathways to the brains body clock. The setting sun is an indication to the body that night is approaching and so too sleep. 3. Sleep pressure. Sleep pressure slowly builds all through the day, and as the day nears its end, the sleep pressure build up in the body produces the tiredness that invites sleep. Sleep is vital for the regeneration of the pancreases beta cells while we sleep. With the increase in use of iPads, Computers, mobile phones and television viewing, of an evening, sleep is compromised in the average person. Dr Matthew Walker in his book “Why We Sleep” quotes the studies that show the average person in the industrialised countries today are experiencing 5-6 hours sleep a night. He shows how 8 hours is not negotiable for every function of the body to work effectively. Not only that, the average retiring time is 11-12 midnight. The most important hours are the hours before midnight. This lack of sleep is an important factor when discovering why the Pancreas is being compromised, and failing to function efficiently. FOOD ---- Every cell in the body requires a consistent, steady fuel supply to ensure the optimal functioning of each organ. The Glycemic Index( GI ), of food is an index, or reading on how quickly the glucose in the food is released into the blood stream. Eating low GI foods can make a big difference to diabetics as it prevents surges in BS levels. A refined diet, containing high amounts of processed food, mainly wheat and sugar, produces an inconsistent fuel supply in the blood. These foods also sit high on the glycemic index list. Pasta, bread, biscuits, cakes, cookies, pretzels, doughnuts, cereal, pies, pizza, rice, fried potatoes, refined sugar, to name a few, can all be considered high carbohydrate containing foods. The great highs in BS levels that these foods produce, demand corresponding great highs in insulin to bring BS down. These levels are brought down by swiftly delivering the glucose to the cell, then glycogen store then the left over as fat. Often, this fast delivery of glucose out of the blood, results in low BS levels. ( Hypoglycaemia) The response to this by the person is- more sugar. So these highs and lows continue, effectively wearing out the organ that is responsible for controlling BS levels- the pancreas. WATER ---- Water, next to oxygen, is the most vital element needed for life. Every cell, every organ requires water to be able to function efficiently. Diabetes is effected by dehydration in a few ways. The Pancreas requires adequate hydration to be able to produce insulin and glucagon. These are the 2 hormones that balance BS levels. Insulin increases the cellular uptake of glucose. So reducing BS levels. Glucagon raises BS levels when they drop too low. In a state of dehydration the production of these two hormones is impaired, thus compromising the balancing of BS levels. Often the body can not decipher the difference between hunger and thirst. The hunger sensation many experience between meals is often thirst. Water enables access to glycogen stores between meals which helps to maintain the status quo is BS levels. Dehydration greatly impairs this process. This explains why only water should be taken in the distance from one meal to the next. Unfortunately many today are dehydrated, not only from lack of water, but also because of the dehydrating effects of coffee, tea and the many soda and caffeinated cold drinks on the market. STRESS ----- Worry compounds all problems. Research today is showing how anxiety, stress and worry can all effect BS levels. These emotions place a heavy fuel load on the body, easily exhausting supplies. In a well functioning pancreas, it is up to the task of adjusting and adapting to such a demand. But with a compromised pancreas, such as in the case of Diabetes, the pancreas is often unable to meet this increase in required fuel, and hypoglycaemia can result. Learning to value each moment helps to fade future fears and dissolve past pain. God has just given us one day, and tomorrow He will give us another day. In fact He has just given us one moment, and soon we will have another moment. Practise valuing each moment and be thankful that you have been given a body with an inbuilt ability to heal itself, when given the right conditions. Now give it the luxury of time. TO CONQUER DIABETES. ------------- PURE AIR ----- Each cell requires oxygen and glucose to produce energy. When the energy cycle has oxygen it can deliver 18 times more energy compared to the energy cycle being deficient in oxygen. Increasing the oxygen content in the body, not only increases the energy delivery at the cellular level, but also increases the Pancreatic cells ability to make Insulin and Glucagon. Ensure that the quality of air that is being taken into the body is of the highest quality, by assessing and eliminating exposure to chemicals and mould. Particularly the bedroom. We spend a third of our life in this room. Not only bedding needs to be checked, but also the quality of air that comes in through the window. The open window is a must. In areas that have snow and extreme cold making the open window difficult, an air purifier or negative ion machine may be necessary. EXERCISE ----- The most powerful way to oxygenate the body is exercise. Exercise contributes to conquering Diabetes in a few ways. The increase in muscular activity, increases the demand for glucose in the cell. To accommodate this rise in glucose requirements, the membrane around the cell develops extra insulin receptor sites. As insulin is the key that unlocks the door to allow the glucose’s entry, more insulin means more glucose to give more energy. Exercise stimulates the liver to release the glycogen stores. These are little molecules of glucose stored in the muscle cell. When released they supply fuel to the cell which helps maintain BS levels. Exercise increases blood flow around the entire body, this includes blood flow to the Pancreas. The increase in blood flow to the Pancreas means more oxygen, more water, more nutrients and an expulsion of more waste products. Exercise wakes up the Pancreas! SUNSHINE ------ When the skin over the Pancreas is directly exposed to the suns rays, the warmth increases blood flow to the area. The increase in blood flow to the Pancreas means more oxygen, fuel and water. These are the very elements required by the Pancreatic cells. The suns rays penetrate deep into the body stimulating life, vitality and health to every cell touched by its healing rays. Vitamin D has 2,500 receptor sites on the DNA of every Pancreatic cell. This can a,so boost Pancreatic function. Sun must be a part of the lifestyle principles to conquer Diabetes. TEMPERANCE ------- Keep the good things in moderation, but there are some articles that must be eliminated to effectively conquer Diabetes. For reasons previously mentioned , wheat, caffeine, alcohol and refined sugar need to be eliminated from the diet. Initially, even unrefined sugars, need to be used very sparingly, if at all, until the Pancreas begins to function properly. This includes maple syrup, palm sugar and honey. Stevia is a natural plant sweetener that does not cause an insulin response. REST --- It is at night, while we sleep, that healing accelerates. Specifically from 9pm and absolutely 8 hours a night. To encourage healing in the Pancreas, we should be sleeping 9pm to 5am. Or 8pm to 4am, or sometimes 10pm to 6am. These are the most effective 8 hour stretches. To protect our cells, especially brain, and of course the Pancreas, wifi should be turned off in our homes no later than 8pm. This deters the damaging habit of being on computers, iPads and mobile phones after the sun goes down.
THE STOMACH Much misunderstood and much over worked is the poor old stomach, and yet the efficient or inefficient functioning of the stomach effects digestion all the way down the gastrointestinal tract. As a result the whole body, even every cell is effected. To understand the stomach, we need to consider the entry point, the mouth. MOUTH ----- The mouth is the only part of the gastrointestinal tract that we have say over. 1)We have say over WHAT goes in 2)We have say over HOW MUCH goes in. 3)We have say over HOW LONG it stays in the mouth. 4 We have say over HOW OFTEN or WHEN the food goes in. 5)And we have say over the ENVIRONMENT we are in as we eat. 1)WHAT We choose whether we eat nourishing, wholesome food, or refined and devitalised foods. The nourishing food aids the body in efficient function and repair, whereas devitalised foods not only prevents proper function and repair but an also cause damage to cells. The 3 essential food groups are Fibre, protein and fat. FIBRE- all plant foods contain fibre. PROTEIN- the best protein is the seed of the plant, as it contains all nutrients necessary for growth and life. Legumes, nuts and seeds are ideally eaten every meal to access the life giving properties in these seeds. FAT-the seeds of plants also contain high quality fats. Coconut and olive are the 2 fats extracted from the flesh of the plant and so high heat and chemical equipment are not required to extract the oils, as are in the case of the hard seed. Best to obtain the oils from the seed by eating the seed/nut. We also choose whether we drink with our meals. Large amounts of fluid effectively dilute the digestive juices in the stomach, inhibiting digestion in the stomach. To avoid this, it is best to cease drinking 1/2 hour before the meal, and resume 1,1/2-2 hours after the meal. 2)HOW MUCH The stomach can only hold so much food. Overeating burdens the stomach as only so much gastric juice is released each meal. It is just physically and chemically impossible for the stomach to efficiently digest huge amounts. This burden calls on extra forces from brain and muscles and the person feels fatigue and sleepy. It is best to stop eating before the “full” feeling. 3)HOW LONG The teeth are designed to masticate, or break into very fine pieces, our food. This produces a larger surface area for the digestive enzymes to work on. It also allows the brain to monitor what food types are in the mouth, which enables messages to be sent to the appropriate organs giving them time to prepare for the coming different types of food. Whether this be protein or starch or fat. When food is not effectively chewed, all the aforementioned processes are compromised. 4)HOW OFTEN The stomach takes 3,1/2 to 4 hours to digest the meal. It is important to grant it sufficient time to do this. A rest of one hour after this gives the gastric glands time to replace the gastric juices in preparation for the next meal. This requires a 5-6 hour break between meals. Dr William Beaumont in his groundbreaking discoveries in the early 1800’s showed this. His book “ Experiments And Observation on The Gastric Juice and The Physiology of Digestion”, rocked the nutritional world when he proved the need for breaks between meals. The book was first written in 1833. I have the 1959 edition. He discovered this in a very unique way. Dr Beaumont was called to an accident in a trading store. An 18yr old man ( Alexis St Martin), had sustained a gun shot wound to his right side which had injured his stomach and some of his ribs. He eventually healed but was left with a hole in his stomach like a mouth. Dr Beaumont saw he opportunity and began experimenting. He would use a silk thread with a piece of food tied to the end. At intervals of 1-2-3-4-5 hours he would check the stage of digestion of the food. He found that digestion averaged 3,1/2 -4 hours. There were exceptions depending on the food eaten, how much and whether stressed when eating. He meticulously documented his findings in his book. The book and experiments are still quoted in most Anatomy and Physiology books today. Modern research confirms his findings. Dr Michael Mosely in his book “Fast Diet” talks of allowing the stomach to rest between meals. He also refers to Time Restricted Eating (TRE). This is eating twice in a 6 hour period out of the 24 hour day. Allowing the stomach to have about an 18 hour fast. 7:30am breakfast and 1:30 lunch. Or some choose 9am and 3pm, it all depends on what works for you. This program is proving to increase insulin sensitivity in the cell, improve the metabolic rate, give better quality sleep and is a powerful tool in weight loss. For this distance between meals to be achieved with ease, meal must contain high fibre ( plant based diet). Include generous amounts of protein ( legumes, nuts and seeds) and healthy fats ( nuts, seeds, avocado, coconut and olive oil). Hunger between meals is usually a thirst indicator. 5)ENVIRONMENT As an old book states “Cast off care and anxious thought when you sit to dine”. Meal times should be a relaxed and happy time. If rushed or stressed or controversial issues are discussed at the meal table, the brain effectively blocks the release of Hydrochloric Acid, thus compromising digestion.
CARDIAC SPHINCTER ----------- The swallowing action closes the trachea and ensures the food travels from the mouth, and down the oesophegas, then through the Cardiac Sphincter, which is the muscle that acts as the gateway into the stomach. The Cardiac sphincter is a double layered muscle and is designed to prevent food from the stomach coming back up into the oesophegas. This muscle sits directly in the middle of the large muscle that sweeps across and under our ribs called the Diaphram. As with all muscles, this maintains its strength by use. GERDS( Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) Poor posture, high chest breathing and weak abdominal muscles can all render the diaphragm muscle to become weak. This can contribute to a condition called REFLEX or HEART BURN or often GERD. Late evening meals can cause the contents of the stomach to push against the Cardiac sphincter as a person lays down to sleep. When this situation continues night after night, it eventually weakens the muscle contributing to GERDs. Stress tightens muscles and the Cardiac sphincter is no exception. When the Cardiac sphincter is relaxed it is closed, when it tightens, it opens. Stress contributes to GERDs. Allergy to foods like wheat, dairy, peanuts and refined sugar can exasperate GERDs. Low Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) can also be part of the cause of GERDs, as when the food is not digesting efficiently, fermentation may result, causing gas to push against the Cardiac sphincter. To HEAL from GERDs The main meals are best taken at breakfast and lunch, to allow an empty stomach at bedtime. Exercises that target abdominal strength can be implemented, also ensure abdominal breathing to encourage diaphragm strength. Address stress in the life and take steps to reduce it. A magnesium supplement can be taken with each meal and just before bed to relax and encourage closure of the Cardiac sphincter. Hydrochloric Acid can be boosted to increase stomach digestion and so reduce the possibility of fermentation. That will be discussed in the next section on the stomach. If there is any irritation in the oesophegas, Slippery Elm can be taken just before retiring at night. This will effectively coat, soothe and contribute to the healing in the lining of the oesophegas. STOMACH ------ Finally we have arrived at the stomach. As can be seen, the points previously discussed greatly effect what happens in the stomach. The stomach is the only place in the body that is acid. The stomach is lined with folds and these folds contain glands. 2/3 of these glands release mucous, which serves to coat and protect the stomach lining from the Hydrochloric Acid. It is at the very base of the folds where the other third of the glands are situated. These are called the pareital glands, and these glands release Hydrochloric Acid HCl, and Pepsinogen, and the Intrinsic Factor IF. HCl plays a few roles. HCl contains anti fungal, anti bacterial and a wide range anti microbial activity. This serves to wipe out any unwanted yeasts and pathogens that may have entered the stomach.. HCl also connects with Pepsingen in this Acid environment to produce Pepsin. Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks down protein. Pepsin can only break down protein in an acid environment. B12 --- B12 is a bacteria, as such it is found in the teeth when we wake in the morning. Only small amounts, and we receive a little with our first glass of water in the day. As a bacteria B12 is also found in rainwater tanks, on home grown organic fruits and vegetables and also in organically grown root crops. But most B12 deficiencies are a result of low HCl levels and low levels of IF IF plays an essential role in the absorption of B12. B12 is linked with an R protein in food. In the stomach, HCl releases that union. From there, B12 and IF travel separately until the Illium ( the last part of the small intestine) where IF and B12 connect and are absorbed through the intestinal lining into the entero-hepatic circulation. This system, that includes the liver, is where B12 circulates until it is needed by the body. Low HCl ----- Low HCl can effect digestion in a few ways. One of the symptoms is slow digestion and also bloating, as the food begins to ferment. Let us first consider what causes this. #Drinking with meals, especially large amounts, effectively dilutes the HCl. To remedy this delema, the body slows digestion, and the stomach endeavours to eliminate this extra fluid by absorption in an attempt to return to the required acid levels. Only then can digesting the protein be resumed. When the habit of drinking with meals continues, eventually HCl levels are bit by bit depleted. #Eating in a stressful environment also effectively blocks HCl production. #Eating every couple of hours exhausts HCl supplies. #Overeating and eating a large meal late at night both contribute to depleting HCl levels. The last 2 points prevent the stomach being able to have periods of rest. To boost HCl, ------ A/. bitter herbs can be taken just before each meal in the form of a hot tea. 1/3 cup of the hot tea stimulates a release of more Hydrochloric acid. BITTER TEA The bitter herbs are a mix of 1 part Gentain , 1 part Dandelion root , 1 part Licorace root, 1/2 part Golden Seal. 1 teaspoon of this herb mix, and 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger are gently simmered in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes. This can be made ahead of time, kept in the fridge, and heated as needed. B/. 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper in a little water can be drunk just before the meal. C/ the juice of a lemon in in a little hot water before the meal As well as these simple remedies, it is also important to Adhere to the dietary and lifestyle principles previously discussed. HELICOBACTER PYLORI Every body has helicobacter pylori. When the hydrochloric acid levels in the stomach are low, for reasons previously discussed, then this bacteria can multiply causing nausea and discomfort. The remedy is to increase the Hydrochloric acid levels in the stomach, as just described, and this will kill off the excess helicobacter pylori, bringing back a state of healthy balance in the stomach. This may take a few months, depending on how chronic the condition is.

I cried during the explanation of the phases, hearing the explanation of phase 2 was what i need to move forward in my knowledge of liver healing! Protein!!! So simple yet so complex! Thank Dr. Many blessing!
I became emotional too while listening to these infos.
Lately I have been accompanying videos and more videos of DRA Barbara O Neill and I am loving all the information she gives about how to take care of health, I am learning a lot about nutrition with these videos. Thank you very much for posting these videos, a big hug from BRAZIL, RECIFE a Dr BARBARA and everyone involved.
You are very welcome..Each one teach one. Do your own research be your own advocate I just did a long post just above yours ..you can read it ...
I just reply to John Knowles...its long but detail how I came off bipolar and anti depression meds kind of a cold turkey (meaning I wean myself off in 1 wk) BUT I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR ANYONE TO DO THIS WITHOUT THEIR DR ADVICE... You see I have to be my own Dr and Detective..

Thank you so so much your videos have helped me tremendously I've been living this life all wrong. Barbara O'Neill you've changed my Life ❤️😘
Hi Barbara, what a blessing it has been to watch these videos. I have been trained very briefly on Medical Missionary work and have had my own health issues. There is so much misinformation on the internet and it can sometimes be so confusing. When I got terribly sick 4 years ago I turned to that wonderful book called Counsels on Diet and foods. God truly has given us so much insight as a people and I am praying that the more SDAs may start to appreciate this light. God bless your ministry and would love to meet you... Maybe not in this Life but in heaven. God bless and press on till Jesus Comes. Lots of love from South Africa.
Great complements. We as a people need to encourage each other to get back to the true source of knowledge, which is the law and the testimonies. We all that have made a choice to be in good health needs to have a direct communication with this woman as a consultant and health lecturer or advisor. Be in good health there in south Africa
Absolutely LOVE listening to you.. since I’ve discovered you, I’ve changed to plant based meals.. everything you say & the way you explain it makes so much sense. Thank you Barbara for sharing your knowledge. ❤
Barbara your the smartest lady i have ever heard on health, Love listening to you!
For 2 months i was living in a off grid situation and wanted to cut back on refrigerated items etc. and YOUR AVOCADO toast,,, is my absolute favorite, i am addicted, i ate mostly this for my main meals lunch and dinner and i have lost 2 pant sizes! in 2 months and ive not once been hungry!! yes ive eaten more than just the avocado toast but really been focused on what goes in. thank you barbara for all you do
Can we have the recipe please!
I gotta try this!
I thank God for putting His wisdom in you to be spread for the healing of men and sin 🤗🤗🤗
I wished you had books on all your teachings. It would be good for those who are not able to come to your place.
These videos are mighty helpful! I think the only thing we are missing is actually being fed by them, and learning what they eat
She does have a book
Thank you for enabling informed choices on nutrition, putting health control back into our own hands..
O'Neill says it here: 37.5 The TRUTH shall set us free! Love YOU, Barbara O'Neill ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for the wit and wisdom and wonderful way to have of telling us this ESSENTIAL information. Thank You very much!
Excellent presentation!!!!!!

So helpful and graciously presented... You are a treasure. Thank you!
Liver: Carbohydrates overload (cereal, bread, bagels, cakes, pie, cookies, pasta, rice, potatoes, rice, and sugar). Carbs foods break down and make glucose and gets sent into the cells. Liver first sends the glucose to cells. Then second to glycogen to pyruvate, oxygen anaerobic as muscles start working. Glycogen, then the excess so that isn’t used for energy, it’s stored in fat cells. On high carb diet, body stores excess in fat cells. Another name for carbs is starch. Fiber, protein and fat William Benty in1850, then Atkins diet- if stop the carbs, body will loose the fat. A lot of energy, uweight just fell off! So, Now we have a lot more Palio, Keto, etc. Body needs these essentials- 50%protein 50%fat. Carbs are ok if they are the right kind and not in excess. Drop carbs to heal diabetes! If you do the formula, you’ll get the results. Cancer cells can’t survive in presence of oxygen! Cancer loves sugar if you deprive cancer cells glucose they don’t survive! 12 weeks no fruit even at first, to heal from cancer.
Food- Protein- Carbs
Grain- high- high
Legume(beans)- high- med. to low
Seeds- high- low
Nuts- high- low
Get you Protein from Legumes(beans), instead of meat.
It’s not the butter on bread, it’s the bread.
Cholesterol: HDL Carries away the bad
LDL Repairer and Rebuilder LDL delivers fat to the brain, which it needs! Can plug up hole to keep from bleeding to death, it’s repairing but the original problems are caused from smoking, alcohol, sugar, mold, other harmful things, that your body tries 5o use the LDL cholesterol to repair, it shows as build up and is blamed.
What causes heart disease? Damage to the arterial wall! The Great Cholesterol Lie
Breast milk is very important for brain development and immune system for newborn children and animals.
Vegetarians can get heart disease. LDL plugs up the holes, it’s just trying to repair what’s wrong, because LDL repairs. It’s not cholesterol that’s a problem!
Mercury poisoning from fish and mercury fillings, causes memory loss
Ancel Keys found 11 countries that appeared to support his claims, it’s not the fat, it’s the carbs.
Cholesterol level use to be normal 300 now they are saying keep cholesterol under 200! The liver needs the protection of good fats in diet for neurological, brain. Without essential fats, these fat soluble foods to prevent and heal these brain/neuro things, like Parkinson’s, MS, Depression, Schizophrenia, and other illnesses that are caused by not enough good fats, such as coconut oil, olive oil, etc.(?)
2 Day fast better than longer fast. Why???
Protein- vegetarians, use pea proteins.
Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for this summary. I still eat grass fed meat though. I don't tolerate legumes.
I love Ms Barbara ♥️🙏So powerful

Love the Fawlty Towers-esk intro music. What a fantastic presentation again, thank you for posting it!
Knowledge is never old, listen to this amazing undiluted truth, many lives would have been or saved from going down to the grave. The surface money making ventures of today's practitioners have contributed to the unprecedented deaths of many whose lives would have been preserved had they been told the courses of sickness and how to get rid of many complications invading the human race.

During my abdomen ultrasound, we have found out that I have a Fatty Liver. We should take care of our internal project manager. Thank you, Barbara. ❤
Yes, peel the pineapple BUT don't throw the pineapple rinds away - the yeast on the pineapple rind starts off a fermentation party to make Tepaché out of! It's good - tastes like pineapple beer.
Just fantastic!

I was a vegan for a long number of years but I became sick early on and it continually progressed until I began to eat meat. Now a lot of these foods that she's speaking of cause a lot of problems for me so I wish she would address things like a histamine intolerance or leaky gut syndrome because these kinds of foods legumes and a lot of vegetables are very irritating to your intestines if you have issues like that.
You are amazing… thank you for you are an angel xx
Thank you so Much 💫

Hi Barbara, I'm so grateful that we stumbled upon your videos. My husband has prostrate cancer and we've been working hard at beating it through diet and lifestyle changes. For about 8 months we did the Gerson Therapy and had a slight decrease in his PSA. We flipped to the Keto diet in Sept. 2018 and had a huge drop and we were so elated, but since then ( he has a PSA test every 6 weeks or so) he's had a huge jump. A big part of the Gerson Therapy is coffee enemas. How do you feel about this? or how would you recommend detoxing his project manager? God Bless you and the work that you are doing!

80/10/10 diet is the only thing that has healed me.
Please look into methionine. It's an amino acid cancer must have to grow. Its most abundantly found in animal products, especially chicken. I hope you found a solution that worked for you.

Thank you so much. May the lord keep blessing you!!🎶🎼
I eat potatoes, sweet potatoes fruit including lots of bananas and I keep the fats low. I'm not overweight at all. Too much fat in the blood prevents the glucose from getting into the cells which is the cause of diabetes. Too much fat causes a fatty liver, too much fat thickens the blood and lowers the oxygen in the blood. A fatty liver and thicker blood puts a strain on the heart as it has to work a lot harder to pump the blood through the fatty liver. We run on glucose not fat! Eat enough carbs to maintain your weight and keep the fats low!
Incredible
Dear Barbara o Neil which protein and fats are good for us
Finish cooking beans out of the water! Brilliant!
Sorry, can u please explain what's the best way to cook beans
I’m confused how do you throw away the brown water away but keep the water you cooked your beans in . What sauce are you talking about ? Thanks are you saying just to wipe away the sticky brown stuff that accumulates on the pot away,you call that pot liquor but then you say after cooking with three quarters full of water you’ll have your pot liquor
why aren't chick peas, avocados and coconut oil even referenced regarding getting high clean fat?
Aah it's the ALKALINE WAY OF EATING..this is my foods you are asking about..i follow Dr Sebi Alkaline foods and my life and philology has changed for the better ..i love Dr Sebi ..Barbara Oneil..dr Morse ..Dr Arikana ..i was able to kick and dump my depression pills and bipolar pills to the curb in one week..

How do you cook the beans so they don't make you sick?
I beg to differ with regard to carbs. Abraham made a meal of bread, milk, and meat for the 3 visitors that came to his tent, one of which turned out to be God. Its the Glysophate they spray on the wheat in the US that everyone is allergic to.
Do you know anything about hyper PARA thyroid…not the thyroid but the 4 parathyroids? I was diagnosed but the docs have no reason WHY or HoW it happens let alone how to heal.

Do you peel your potatoes when you cook them?
Hello Barbara, I am breastfeeding I stop sugar I only used 100% honey, I limit my carb in take. I had chronic constipations for years. I listen to your lectures, now I don’t drink water/tea with meal and I chew my food. Now I have BM twice a day. Thank you. I also take probiotics 10 billion mornings. I take Omega pills. The other night I got gallstone attack very painful. I don’t know what’s causing the gallstones it’s because my organs start function now and it’s confused? Please help. I don’t want have surgery to remove it. Thank you
Mizzfm1
Dear Mizzim1,
That is good news that you are seeing improvements in your bowel movements.
The years that you were not eating right are the cause of your gall attack. Castor oil compresses can help to break up the stones. Liver herbs like St Mary’s Thistle And Dandelion can help as well.
Regards,
Barbara O’Neill

Thank you for responding. It’s same to take these while breastfeeding? I heard castor oil not safe while breastfeeding is that true? I really appreciated your time.
Mizzfm1
Dear Mizzfm1,
It is not safe to ingest castor oil, but it is very safe to apply to the skin over the liver area,
as you would to help Recover from gall stones.
Even though your body is functioning well now, the stones can be the result of many years of constipation. Liver herbs can help. St Mary’s Thistle and Dandelion are 2 of the best. They can be bought in a tabletform.

Love these videos! I've tried following the food recommendations but seed and nuts trigger my IBS makes it so hard to eat healthy
Perhaps this will help you:
THE COLON
Dr Kellogg was the Health director of the Battle Creek sanitarium in the mid-1800s and wrote many books on health.
He is on record as stating that 3 intakes of food a day, should equal 3 evacuations. Once a day being constipation.
Even when the following lifestyle and dietary principles are implemented, some colons still remain sluggish, or overactive. The cells lining the colon can develop these habits and need help to develop habits of regularity.
The Colon has a mind of its own, and will not follow your commands! Gentle stimulation can encourage regular movement and reestablish habits of daily evacuations.
We will now discuss what stimulates and what inhibits.
*BREATHING
High chest breathing can contribute to constipation.
Abdominal breathing uses the diaphragm and gently massages the colon. The habit of high chest breathing robs the muscles covering the colon of this necessary stimulation
The abdominal muscles were designed to aid in the breathing process.
Weak diaphragm, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles; poor posture; tight belts and clothing around the waist all inhibit abdominal breathing. This means less oxygen delivery to the cells, thus less energy.
Stand tall, and breathe from below the belt to help your colon. These muscles are like all muscles in that the more they are used, the stronger the become.
*SUNSHINE
Lack of stimulation can contribute to constipation.
The sun stimulates blood supply wherever it touches.
Allowing the sun to touch the abdomen and thus penetrate deep into the colon, stimulates blood supply to the whole colon.
Expose the abdomen to the sun for at least 15 minutes as often as possible.
*STOP THE CAUSE
Caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugar, chemicals, and drugs all have a dehydrating effect on the colon thus slowing down and inhibiting transit time through the colon. These substances also can inhibit the action of the healthy bacteria. In some cases, even kill it off, like glyphosate, antibiotics, pain killing medication, statin drugs, the contraceptive pill, and refined sugar.
Meat, dairy and refined foods lack the fiber which is necessary for stimulating peristalsis, and so are contributing to constipation.
In the process of hybridizing wheat in the 1950’s, the gluten or protein structure was changed. The result was a very complex structure making it very difficult to breakdown in the gut. Constipation or diarrhea can be the result.
An integral part of conquering any bowel problem, is to cease wheat.
*REST
All organs of the body work in cycles. They love regularity, and the colon is no exception. It is affected by what is happening further back in the gut, especially the stomach. As we have one stomach which averages 3,1/2 to 4 hours at digesting the food we eat, leaving 5 hours between meals gives the stomach and colon rest times.
Eating lightly, or not at night allows the stomach to sleep when we sleep. This also effects colon rest, and helps to restore regularity. To do this we need to eat breakfast like a king (insulin sensitivity is at its height in the am)
Lunch like a queen and tea or supper like a pauper.
Between the hours of 9pm and 2am, hormones are released from the Pineal gland in the brain. These hormones are responsible for rest and healing every cell in the body. The colon included.
The Circadian rhythm is the rhythm that our brain runs effectively on. It is set by early morning light and sleeping between 9pm and 2am. Artificial light, especially from screen, in the hours we should be sleeping, disrupt Circadian rhythm.
The gut is Circadian, Evening bugs are different to morning bugs and they all have different functions.
*EXERCISE
Lack of exercise contributes to constipation.
Exercise causes movement in the colon, as well as increasing blood flow to the colon. The most effective exercises are rebounding, Pilates, swimming and brisk walking as all these movements involve the core or abdominal muscles.
The seeping breathing that results from high Intensity exercises also strengthens the diaphragm.
This in turn directly effects the colon as it is situated behind these muscles.
Daily exercise is essential for effective colon function.
High Intensity Interval Training takes all the exercises to a higher level and has a more profound effect on the colon.
*POSITION
The Wrong position when evacuating can cause constipation
Throughout Asia and Africa, for thousands of years, squatting was the position commonly used when passing a bowel motion. Still today in many areas in these countries the toilets are a hole in the floor.
Science now shows why this is a superior position. In the last section of the colon, the rectum, the colon has a slight kink. This kink is the result of the muscle, puborectalis, holding this part of the colon up. There is still some space for the contents to pass through. The design is to prevent accidents.
Sitting for the daily evacuation can contribute to constipation.
When sitting on the “throne”, puborectalis remains firm, but in the squatting position, this muscle relaxes which causes the colon to open wider allowing the full evacuation of the rectum with great ease.
As this position prevents great pressure on the anus, it not only aides in the healing of all colon problems, but also prevents and helps to heal hemorrhoids.
*FOOD
As previously mentioned, meat and refined carbohydrates contain no fiber.
Lack of fiber can cause constipation.
Fiber is required to not only stimulate peristalsis but also to sweep the many little grooves and folds that make up the structure of the colon.
The highest fiber foods are vegetables and fruit. All plant foods contain fiber, so this includes whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Fiber also encourages the growth of the “healthy bacteria” in the gut. Called Probiotics.
Legumes need a 12-hour soak, thorough rinse, brought to the boil and rinsed again. Then long slow cooking. This process increases the body’s ability to digest them effectively.
Nuts and seeds need to be chewed to a cream state.
Whole gains are best cooked in a slow cooker to ensure a thorough breakdown of the starch granules, or ground to a flour and cultured with the sourdough method of making bread. This predigests the starch and protein in the grain.
Cultured foods ensure a proper balance of microbes in the gut as well. An imbalance dramatically effects colon function.
Refined sugars, including alcohol and refined grains feed pathogens and can inhibit the function of the healthy bacteria living in the gut.
Constant eating wipes out many healthy microbes in the colon.
All drugs, vaccines and chemicals disrupt the fine balance of microbes in the gut. Cortisone, statin drugs, antibiotics, contraceptive pill, pain killing medications and glyphosate can kill off the healthy or beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Miso, Kefir, sour kraut, yoghurt are some of the cultured foods that can help to restore and maintain the healthy bacteria.
In the 1950’s wheat was put through intensive cross breeding to produce a plant with a higher yield of grain. The aim was to help resolve the starvation crisis in Mexico, India and Africa. This higher yield was achieved, but what was never addressed was the effect of this grain on the gut. In the hybridization process a very complex gluten or protein structure was created that is very difficult for the gut to process. One of the effects of this altered structure is that it can contribute to constipation and all bowel problems.
*WATER.
Dehydration can be a large contributing factor in constipation.
One of the main functions of the colon is to take water out so that stools are formed and the contents can be passed with ease.
On an average, the body loses 2 ½ liters of water a day, 2 liters must be replaced, the other 500ml can be supplied by our fruits and vegetables and herb teas.
In a state of dehydration, the body takes more water from the colon in an attempt to maintain full blood volume in the arteries. As a result the contents of the colon loses its much needed moisture and the contents can become dry and hard, making it difficult to pass the stools, thus contributing to constipation.
Caffeine, as a dehydrating agent, is a major contributing factor today to constipation.
*THE MIND
“Tight mind; tight colon” said Margaret Wright, she was one of Australia’s leading experts in Colonic irrigation.
Stress, anxiety and worry can all have their effect on the colon. For some It results in constipation, others may react with diarrhea.
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (and the colon!) Proverbs 17:22
Laughter, love, joy and peace relax the colon.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, he whose mind is stayed upon Thee, because he trusteth in Thee” Isiah 26:3. Peace of mind, relaxes the colon.
Stress in the life needs to be addressed when conquering all bowel problems.
NATURAL TREATMENTS
The human body has been designed to heal itself and it will heal, if given the right conditions. We have discussed what not to do and what to do regarding diet and lifestyle. Now we will discuss some treatments specific for encouraging healing in the colon.
||||CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES
Castor oil compresses over the abdominal area for at least 5 hours a day, for at least 5 days a week. This oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has the ability to break up lumps, bumps and congestion.
This treatment can be used for constipation or diarrhea.
Moisten a few layers of cloth with the oil. This oil is so thick it can take about 20 minutes to soak through. When applied to the area, cover with a sheet of plastic to protect clothing. As a compress, this can be reused maybe a dozen times before discarding. Each day a little more castor oil may need to be added.
#HAEMORROIDS
Often a result of pressure overload on the last part of the colon resulting in “a bubble” of the colon wall coming out the anus. Sometimes there can be several. Constipation and pregnancy are the 2 main causes. This is a very uncomfortable condition and can be quite painful.
Drinking more water and eating more fiber in the diet to soften the stools can help prevent and heal from hemorrhoids.
We will now discuss a few natural remedies that can bring relief and help to heal.
SUPPOSITORIES For HAEMORRHOIDS
1)Castor oil suppositories can be made to bring relief and heal hemorrhoids.
A cotton ball is soaked with castor oil and molded into the shape of the little finger. It is then frozen, this may take 2-3 days. The suppository is then inserted into the anus as far as able just before retiring at night
2)Aloe Vera suppositories can also be made for the above condition.
The Aloe Vera leaf is peeled and strips are cut approximately the size of the little finger. These are frozen; when solid they can be inserted. as the castor oil suppositories, just before retiring at night.
These 2 suppositories can be alternated each night.
HYDROTHERAPY
Sitz baths, described in the hydrotherapy chapter, not also speed the healing of hemorrhoids, but can bring a lot of relief.
#CONSTIPATION
Unfortunately, constipation is often a result of the fast food age and too common today. Usually a result of lack of fiber and dehydration. In the Temperance section, the main dehydrators were quoted.
As Quoted earlier, Dr Kellogg stated, “3 meals a day should equal 3 evacuations a day. 2 meals a day should equal 2 evacuations a day”
We will now look at how the colon can be encouraged to reset the regularity pattern.
lll/ P.A.N.I.C.
Promptly, Answer, Nature’s, Immediate, Call.
An important part of returning regularity is to listen to the body and resist the temptation to delay answering the body’s call to evacuate.
|||/ COLON TEA .
This tea is a combination of herbs that gently restore and revive colon function and contains =
1 part Cascara Sagrada
2 part Licorice
3 part Buckthorn
These roots and barks are mixed in a jar. 1 teaspoon of these herbs is gently simmered in a cup of water for 10 minutes.
The dose changes from person to person. Some need 1/2 cup a day and a severely constipated person may even need 3 cups a day. If 3 cups are required, they are best taken morning, noon and evening. Most people find that a cup taken before retiring at night will help to encourage morning evacuation.
Taking this tea regularly, combined with the lifestyle and dietary principles discussed, can cause a turn around with constipation.
As these points are implemented the person will find they need less and less of the tea. This may take 4-6 months, depending on the severity of the situation.
lll/ CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES
These can be worn overnight. Castor oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has the ability to help breakup old matter and cleanse the colon.
|||/ COLONIC IRRIGATIONS
Colonic Irrigation is a bowel treatment using warm water. The treatment takes 45-50 minutes and warm water is gently running in and out for this time through a network of tubes. This has the effect to soften old buildup on the walls of the colon and to clean out any pockets of accumulated waste. The colonic can also loosen the hard covering on diverticulitis.
This treatment requires a trained therapist with the required equipment to be administered.
The Colic irrigation can aid in the healing of all colon problems.
ENEMA
At home a person can give themselves a warm water enema. 1,1/2 cups of water at a time. This
can quickly relieve constipation initially.
Also, 4 enemas in a row at 10-minute Intervals can have a similar effect to a colonic irrigation.
Ill/ SITZ BATHS
This treatment is explained in detail in the Hydrotherapy section and entails sitting in alternating hot and cold baths.
#COLITIS, CHRONES DISEASE, IRRITABLE BOWEL DISEASE, GASTRITIS.
All these conditions are an indication that there is inflammation in the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, and the same conditions as previously discussed, apply to encourage healing.
Implementing these lifestyle and dietary principles will contribute to healing the gut.
An important exclusion is to eliminate anything that may irritate the colon wall in its inflamed state. The most common foods to do this are wheat, oats, dairy and refined sugar. It can take at least 2 months to see the effect once these foods are ceased.
lll/ HERBS
Slippery Elm is the powdered bark of the Slippery Elm Tree. It is slightly glutenous in structure when mixed with water. This is one of the reasons that it soothes and heals as it lines the gut. Slippery Elm also contains a growth stimulant which stimulates rapid healing in the lining of the gut.
In a crisis, if the person has chronic diarrhea, Slippery Elm can be taken every 1/2 hour. As the frequency of bowel movements eases, so can the dose.
Taken before breakfast, and before retiring at night is the usual maintenance dose.
1 teaspoon is stirred into 1/3 cup of boiling water, then 1/2 cup of cold water is stirred in. This ensures no lumps in the mix.
Aloe Vera is another “slippery” herb that also coats and soothes the lining of the gut. It also contains a growth stimulant.
Aloe Vera juice can be bought, or the leaf can be peeled and blended with a little water or juice.
Ginger and peppermint tea both contain anti-inflammatory properties and can be drunk freely to help relieve the inflammation.
lll/ PROBIOTICS
Often there is an imbalance in gut flora.
Initially probiotic supplement may be needed. Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidus Bacterium are the 2 permanent bacteria’s in the gastrointestinal tract. All others develop from these 2. A supplement containing at least 5 billion of each should be taken 3/4 hour at least before breakfast.
Including cultured foods in the diet can also help much in maintaining the necessary microbial balance.
Sour Kraut, Miso, Kumbucha, Kefir and Yoghurt (the last 2 can be effectively made on organic soy milk and coconut milk).
lll/ CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES
Castor oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has a cleansing and soothing effect as it penetrates deep into the colon through the abdominal wall.
The compress was explained earlier and can be worn overnight, or for at least 5 hours a day.
lll/ SITZ BATHS.
This treatment is explained in detail in The Hydrotherapy section in this book.
It includes sitting in a hot tub for 3 minutes and a cold tub for 30 seconds and is continued until 3 hot and 3 cold have been completed.
The reason it plays an important part in healing the gut is found in its ability to increase the blood supply to the area.
Ideally Sitz baths should be done twice daily, at least once, if this is not possible.
As these principles are introduced into the life, the colon will begin to revive and restore its function. Remember we are creatures of habit, and the colon can develop habits.
“Nature’s process of healing and upbuilding is gradual and to the impatient it seems slow. The surrender of hurtful indulgences requires sacrifice: but in the end it will be found that nature, untrammeled does her work wisely and well.” Page 127 Ministry of Healing by Ellen White.

CONNECTING WITH THE COLON
Dr Kellog was the Health director of the Battle Creek sanitarium in the mid 1800s and wrote many books on health.
He is on record as stating that 3 intakes of food a day, should equal 3 evacuations. Once a day being constipation.
Even when the following lifestyle and dietary principles are implemented, some colons still remain sluggish, or overactive. The cells lining the colon 3can develop these habits and need help to develop habits of regularity.
The Colon has a mind of its own, and will not follow your commands! Gentle stimulation can encourage regular movement and reestablish habits of daily evacuations.
We will now discuss what can stimulate and what inhibits proper colon function.
*BREATHING
High chest breathing can contribute to colon problems.
Abdominal breathing uses the diaphragm and gently massages the colon. The habit of high chest breathing robs the muscles covering the colon of this necessary stimulation
The abdominal muscles were designed to aid in the breathing process.
Weak diaphragm, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles; poor posture; tight belts and clothing around the waist all inhibit abdominal breathing. This means less oxygen delivery to the cells, thus less energy.
Stand tall, and breathe from below the belt to help massage your colon.These muscles are like all muscles in that the more they are used, the stronger the become.
*SUNSHINE
Lack of stimulation can contribute to a compromised colon.
The sun stimulates blood supply wherever it touches.
Allowing the sun to touch the abdomen and thus penetrate deep into the colon, stimulates blood supply to the whole colon.
Expose the abdomen to the sun for at least 15 minutes as often as possible.
*STOP POSSIBLE CAUSES
MICROBE DISRUPTION
Stimulants-
Caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugar , chemicals, and drugs all have a dehydrating effect on the colon thus slowing down and inhibiting transit time through the colon. These substances also inhibit the action of the healthy bacteria. In some cases even kill it off.
Chemicals-
Chemicals can enter our body in many ways and greatly compromise and disrupt the delicate balance of our gut flora.
Roundup or glyphosate is used as a herbicide. Unless your vegetables are organically grown, they probably contain this toxic chemical. Beware of the chemicals in washing detergents, cleaning solutions, soaps, toothpaste, personal care products, perfumes.
Little by little they are coming into the body and interfering with the precision balance in our gut microbes.
Most drugs kill the friendly flora, antibiotics, pain killing medication, statin drugs, the contraceptive pill, to name a few.
The Microbes role-
When our intestines have a nice thick mucosa lining, populated with healthy microbes, they are able to-
-release the B vitamins from our food,
-guarantee absorption of the nutrients from our food into the blood,
-protect the blood from harmful pathogens and partially digested foods( including lectins),
--nourish the cells that line our gut.
Meat, dairy and refined foods lack the fibre which is necessary for stimulating peristalsis, and so are contributing to diseases of the colon.
In the process of hybridising wheat in the 1950’s, the gluten or protein structure was changed. The result was a very complex structure making it very difficult to breakdown in the gut. Constipation or diarrhoea can be the result.
.
*REST
All organs of the body work in cycles. They love regularity, and the colon is no exception. It is effected by what is happening further back in the gut, especially the stomach. As we have one stomach which averages 3,1/2 to 4 hours at digesting the food we eat, leaving 5 hours between meals gives the stomach and colon rest times.
Eating lightly, or not at night allows the stomach to sleep when we sleep. This also effects colon rest, and helps to restore regularity. To do this we need to eat breakfast like a king ( insulin sensitivity is at its height in the am)
Lunch like a queen and tea or supper like a pauper.
Between the hours of 9pm and 2am, hormones are released from the Pineal gland in the brain.. These hormones are responsible for rest and healing every cell in the body. The colon included.
The Circadian rhythm is the rhythm that our brain runs effectively on. It is set by early morning light and sleeping between 9pm and 2am. Artificial light, especially from short range screens, in the hours we should be sleeping, disrupt Circadian rhythm.
The gut is Circadian, Evening bugs are different to morning bugs and they all have different functions.
*EXERCISE
Exercise causes movement in the colon, as well as increasing blood flow to the colon. The most effective exercises are rebounding, Pilates, swimming and brisk walking as all these movements involve the core or abdominal muscles, which cover the colon.
The deep breathing that results from high Intensity exercises also strengthens the diaphragm.
This in turn directly effects the colon as the diaphragm is situated at the top of the core muscles.
Daily exercise is essential for effective colon function.
High Intensity Interval Training takes all the exercises to a higher level and has a more profound effect on the colon.
*POSITION
Position makes a difference.
Throughout Asia and Africa, for thousands of years, squatting was the position commonly used when passing a bowel motion. Still today in many areas in these countries the toilets are tiled and flush, but a hole in the floor.
Science now shows why this is a superior position. In the last section of the colon, there is a slight kink. This kink is the result of the muscle, puborectalis, holding the final part of the colon up. There is still some space for the contents to pass through. Puborectalis serves an important role is preventing “accidents”.
When sitting on the “throne”, puborectalis remains firm, but in the squatting position, this muscle relaxes which causes the colon to open wider allowing the full evacuation of the rectum with greater ease.
As this position prevents unnecessary pressure on the anus, it not only aides in the healing of all colon problems, but also prevents and helps to heal haemorrhoids.
*FOOD
LECTINS
In Genesis 1: 29 we find God’s design for food for humans.
“ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed: to you it shall be for meat.”
This covers grains, legumes and seeds. The fruit of a tree yielding seed is the nuts.
It is true that these seeds and nuts contain lectins. Lectins are a plant protein, put there by God as a defence mechanism, integral to the plants survival.
Lectins only really pose a problem to the human gut if-
-the gut mucosal lining and flora are compromised,
-and the “seeds”are not properly prepared as food.
We have already covered the various chemical and foods that can destroy the gut flora.
Unripe fruit is much higher in lectins. We should always be sure that fruit and vegetables are eaten when ripe.
Soaking, rinsing well and pressure cooking grains and legumes kills the lectins.
The Sour Dough method of making bread kills the lectins in the grains.
The nightshade group of vegetables are particularly high in lectins, this includes potatoes, capsicum, eggplant and tomatoes.
Europeans traditionally, skinned and deseeded tomatoes when cooking them. The skins and seeds of the tomato and capsicum are where the highest lectin content is found.
FIBRE
Fibre is required to not only stimulate peristalsis but also to sweep the many little grooves and folds that make up the structure of the colon.
The highest fibre foods are vegetables and fruit. All plant foods contain fibre, so this includes whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Fibre, especially vegetable and leafy green fibre, encourages the growth of the “healthy bacteria” in the gut. Called Prebiotics.
Legumes need a 12 hour soak, thorough rinse, brought to the boil and rinsed again. Then long slow cooking or pressure cooking. This process increases the body’s ability to digest them effectively as well as killing the lectins.
Nuts and seeds need to be chewed to a cream state.
Whole gains are best cooked in a slow cooker to ensure a thorough breakdown of the starch granules, or pressure cooked. Grains can also be ground to a flour and cultured with the sourdough method of making bread. This predigests the starch and protein in the grain. The sour dough culture kills lectins.
The grains containing no lectins are sorghum and millet.
Cultured foods ensure a proper balance of microbes in the gut as well. An imbalance dramatically effects colon function. Sauerkraut, yoghurt, kefir and miso, are some well known cultured foods
In the 1950’s wheat was put through intensive cross breeding to produce a plant with a higher yield of grain. The aim was to help resolve the starvation crisis in Mexico, India and Africa. This higher yield was achieved, but what was never addressed was the effect of this grain on the gut. In the hybridisation process a very complex gluten or protein structure was created that is very difficult for the gut to process. Gluten is probably the most famous lectin.
Spelt, Kumut, Einkenhorn are all variations of the original wheat and have not been hybridised.
*WATER.
Dehydration can be a large contributing factor in a compromised colon.
One of the main functions of the colon is to take water out so that stools are formed and the contents can be passed with ease.
On an average, the body loses 2,1/2 litres of water a day, 2 litres must be replaced, the other 500ml can be supplied by our fruits and vegetables and herb teas.
In a state of dehydration the body takes more water from the colon in an attempt to maintain full blood volume in the arteries. As a result the contents of the colon loses its much needed moisture and the contents can become dry and hard, making it difficult to pass the stools, thus contributing to constipation.
*THE MIND
“Tight mind; tight colon” said Margaret Wright, who was one of Australia’s leading experts in Colonic irrigation therapy.
Stress, anxiety and worry can all have their effect on the colon. For some It results in constipation, others may react with diarrhoea.
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (and the colon!) Proverbs 17:22
Laughter, love ,joy and peace relax the colon.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, he whose mind is stayed upon Thee, because he trusteth in Thee” Isiah 26:3. Peace of mind, relaxes the colon.
Stress in the life needs to be addressed when conquering all bowel problems.
NATURAL TREATMENTS
------------
The human body has been designed to heal itself and it will heal, if given the right conditions. We have discussed the conditions that the colon requires for healing, regarding diet and lifestyle .
Now we will explain some treatments for specific diseases in the colon.
||||CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES
This compress is a common denominator to aid in the healing of the conditions about to be discussed.
Castor oil compresses can be applied to the abdominal area for at least 5 hours a day, for at least 5 days a week. This oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has the ability to break up lumps, bumps and congestion and also adhesions and scar tissue. Wherever castor oil penetrates it cleanses and stimulates healing.
This treatment can be used for constipation or diarrhoea also diverticulitis.
TO MAKE THE COMPRESS
Moisten a few layers of cloth with the oil. This oil is so thick it can take about 20 minutes to soak through. This cloth pad is then applied to the abdominal area ( hip bone to hip bone, belly button to pubic bone). When in place, cover with a sheet of plastic to protect clothing. Often the clothing, in the form of underpants, can hold the compress in place.
As a compress, this can be reused maybe a dozen times before discarding because it is not absorbing anything from the body, but rather, acting as a vehicle to hold the castor oil enabling the skin to take it up.
Castor oil penetrates through the skin, then moves deep into the body.
Each day a little more castor oil may need to be added.
#HAEMORRHOIDS
----------
Often a result of pressure overload on the last part of the colon resulting in swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum and anus. Constipation, obesity, and pregnancy are the main causes. This is a very uncomfortable condition and can be quite painful , and sometimes accompanied with bleeding.
Drinking more water and eating more fibre in the diet to soften the stools can help prevent constipation.
We will now discuss a few natural remedies that can bring relief and help to heal.
SUPPOSITORIES For HAEMORRHOIDS
1)Castor oil oil suppositories can be made to bring relief and heal haemorrhoids.
A cotton ball is soaked with castor oil and moulded into the shape of the little finger. It is then frozen, this may take 2-3 days. The suppository is then inserted into the anus as far as able just before retiring at night
2)Aloe Vera suppositories can also be made for haemorrhoids.
The Aloe Vera leaf is peeled and strips of the clear gel are cut into the size of the little finger. These are frozen; when solid they can be inserted into the anus just before retiring at night.
These 2 suppositories can be alternated each night.
HYDROTHERAPY
Sitz baths have been used for centuries, especially across Europe are an effective way to increase healing in the pelvic floor area. Two tubs, big enough to sit in are needed, one for hot water and one for cold, with ice cubes.
The hot is sat in for 3 minutes, then the cold for 30 seconds. This whole procedure is repeated 2 more times. Ensure that the hot is kept hot.
Sitz baths are described in more detail in the hydrotherapy chapter . They not only speed the healing of haemorrhoids, but can bring a lot of relief.
These can be done at least once a day, twice if possible.
#CONSTIPATION
---------
Unfortunately constipation is often a result of the fast food age and too common today. Usually caused by a lack of fibre and exercise, also dehydration.
Irregularities in lifestyle and also inability to deal with stress can be contributing factors.
In the Temperance section, the main dehydrators were listed which also play a part in constipation.
As Quoted earlier, Dr Kellogg stated, “ 3 meals a day should equal 3 evacuations a day. 2 meals a day should equal 2 evacuations a day”
We will now look at how the colon can be encouraged to reset the regularity pattern.
lll/ P.A.N.I.C.
Promptly, Answer, Nature’s, Immeadiate, Call.
An important part of returning regularity in the colon, is to listen to the body and resist the temptation to delay answering the body’s call to evacuate. When the body says go! We must go!
|||/ COLON TEA .
This tea is a combination of herbs that gently restore and revive colon function and contains =
1 part Cascara Segrada
2 part Licorace
3 part Buckthorn
These roots and barks are mixed in a jar. 1 teaspoon of these herbs is gently simmered in a cup of water for 10 minutes.
The dose changes from person to person. Some need 1/2 cup a day and a severely constipated person may even need 3 cups a day. If 3 cups are required, they are best taken morning, noon and evening. Most people find that a cup taken before retiring at night will help to encourage morning evacuation.
Taking this tea regularly, Combined with the lifestyle and dietary principles discussed, can cause a turn around with constipation.
As these points are implemented the person will find they need less and less of the tea. This may take 4-6 months, depending on the severity of the situation.
lll/ CASTOR OIL COMPRESSES
These can be worn overnight, or for at least five hours a day for five days a week. Castor oil penetrates deeper than any other oil and has the ability to help breakup old matter and cleanse the colon.
|||/ COLONIC IRRIGATIONS
Colonic Irrigation Therapy is a bowel treatment using warm water. This technique takes 45-50 minutes and warm water is gently running in and out of the colon for this time, through a net work of tubes. This has the effect to soften old buildup on the walls of the colon and to clean out any pockets of accumulated waste. The colonic can also loosen the hard covering on diverticulitis.
This treatment requires a trained therapist with the required equipment, to be administered.
The Colic irrigation can aid in the healing of all colon problems.
3 treatment are often advised over a 2 week period.
ENEMA
At home a person can give themselves a warm water enema. 1,1/2 cups of water at a time. After the water is taken in to the colon, the person can lie on their back and massage their abdomen, endeavouring to hold the water for approximately 10 minutes. They can then sit on the toilet to evacuate.This can quickly relieve constipation initially.
4 enemas in a row at 15 minute Intervals can have a similar effect to a colonic irrigation. Called a high enema, by the fourth enema, the whole of the colon can be reached.
Ill/ SITZ BATHS
This treatment is explained in the Haemorrhoids section, and is described in more detail in the Hydrotherapy chapter.
Testimony
Sue came to the retreat to improve her health. She had worked as a psychologist for 40 years, but had been plagued with constipation most of that time. To help manage her condition she would take a medication once a week to cause an evacuation.
Every day at the retreat, for 5 days, Sue had a Colonic Irrigation treatment. Each night she applied a castor oil compress to her abdomen. To produce 2 evacuations a day, Sue found she needed to take 3 cups of Colon tea over the day. By the third day, the whites in Sue’s eye became white instead of a dull “off”white. The skin on her face lost the “grey”look and became pink. Sue testified that she felt better than she had felt for years. Even her mind was clearer. To the extent that she wondered how many of her depressed patients might be constipated!
Sue left our retreat a very satisfied customer, looking forward to the future instead of considering retirement. The effect of diet and lifestyle was an eye opener, and Sue was keen to implement what she had learned as she returned home.

We need some unprocessed complex carbs. All real food work together for our good.
People are fat because of processed nutritionally depleted "food", puffs, artifical colors and flavors, processed sugars, etc. Hormones are jacked and insulin resistance.
I got sick on keto and my hormones crashed. Once I started adding in some more healthy carbs, my body stopped thinking it was in famine and started letting go of fat. Hormones started to balance out again.
Can we drink smoothies or juices with out food or should we drink it between meals?
Dear Maria,
As the juices have no fibre, they are best between meals. But smoothies can take the place of a meal as they have fibre.

Any suggestions on how to naturally get rid of H pylori I’ve been diagnosed with it and not being able to get rid of it. Thank you God bless
Hi Cynthia,
You may find this helpful:
H-PYLORI
This green vegetable was listed as one of the most effective natural remedies of h-pylori bacteria
in a medical study conducted in Japan. Broccoli sprouts contain compounds known as
sulforaphane and ellagic acid that have antibacterial properties. These compounds dissolve in the
bloodstream and kill the harmful bacteria gradually.
Raspberry, strawberry and blueberry contain phytochemicals that fight against all types of
bacteria in the human body.
Ellagic acid in raspberry has been identified as a disease fighting compound. This compound
in berries is so strong that its effects can be utilized by the human blood no matter how the fruits
are cooked or refrigerated. The antimutagen substances in berries fight against the offending
bacteria in the stomach and help cure stomach problems caused by h pylori bacteria.
The extracts of cinnamon release urease enzymes in the bloodstream. These enzymes stop the
catalyzing functions of the h pylori bacteria and prevent them from causing inflammatory
reactions inside the stomach.
In fact, if a patient of ulcers is administered with a small dose of cinnamon extract, it is said that
the functioning of the h pylori bacteria in his/her stomach will immediately stop. If you cannot
take raw cinnamon for its pungent flavor, add its extracts in tea or hot water and drink the solution.
Goldenseal is known to work wonders against a Helicobacter pylori infection, due to its high
content in volatile oils and alkaloids.
Ginger and garlic pastes have been identified as good antiseptics that heal the harm already
caused by h pylori bacteria in the stomach. Coconut is the most popularly used fruit to cure
infection caused by h pylori bacteria. This fruit has antiseptic properties. You can also
use coconut oil as an alternative. It not only kills h pylori bacteria, it also reduces pain and
inflammation caused by the helicobacter pylori.
Clove & Tea Tree Oil Remedy
Clove oil has shown inhibitory action on the development of Helicobacter pylori infections,
keeping them at bay. It also has the effect of reducing the feeling of discomfort in the gastric
mucosa. You can also try sea buckthorn oil which is also amazing in protecting the stomach linen.
Clove oil is a powerful natural antibiotic, which is why it’s one of the most effective herbal remedies for Helicobacter pylori.

I wonder what Barbara thinks of the Keto diet? It's very popular with the likes of Dr Berg, Dr Ekberg and Dr Berry.
She is okay with atkins, which was the source of all these diets
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the worlds leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
My doctor said that my liver looks like 80 years old. But I'm 40. Why?
Atkins died overweight his Diet good for 6 months you need good carbs potatoes rice corn beans

We will forward your questions to Barbara O'Neill and get back to you as soon as we can.
Heartburn can be lack of magnesium or low hydrochloric acid, or eating too much or too late at night. It is a matter of trying different things and seeing what makes a difference, which is the benefit of attending a health retreat. In order to evaluate your case more thoroughly a 1:1 consultation would be best.
If I ask, will you help me. I need your help, Barbara?

Is it safe to do a liver detox if you are sick? My liver is toxic and the easiest detox I came across was 3 days only apple juice and the 3rd night you have 1 cup olive oil and 1 cup lemon juice.
Please help. I am in extreme pain and desperate
Dear Amanda,
The simplest Liver detox is described in the Liver chapter in my book, “Self Heal by Design”. Unfortunately the apples of today are almost totally deficient in Malic acid, which is the acid that breaks up stones.
If you are sick, the Liver detox will help, especially if used in conjunction with the liver herbs listed in my book.

Would you please address Nut allergies. Two boys, 9 years apart, both came down with nut allergies. What do you think please, Dr O'Neill? Thank you.
Dear Carl,
Allergies can arise after a child is vaccinated. Peanuts, wheat and dairy can also be
the source of allergies, even in other foods.
Keep them away from all nuts, they possibly will grow out of it. They can eat seeds which
will provide all the nutrients that nuts do.

DIABETES
-----
It is estimated that 500 new diabetics are diagnosed daily in Australia.
This is acknowledged to be a lifestyle disease. 400 years BC, Hippocrates, called the father of medicine, makes no mention of diabetes.
In his excellent book on the history of sugar, “Sugar Blues”, William Dufty shows that diabetes began to appear as refined sugar became part of the diet.
But something else has appeared in the modern diet that has contributed to the explosion in diabetes.
In his book, “ Wheat Belly”, Dr William Davis explains how wheat went through intensive cross breeding in the 1950’s to produce a plant with a higher yield of grain, in an attempt to help food shortages, especially in Mexico, India and Africa. Dr Norman Borlaug, a Minnesota trained geneticist, received a Nobel prize in 1970 for this hybridised wheat which can produce 6-8 times the grain compared to the original wheat plant. But what was never addressed was the effect of the hybridisation on the wheat’s various nutritional components and the corresponding effect on those who eat it. So urgent was the cause of world hunger, that these products of agricultural research were released into the food supply without human safety concerns being part of the equation.
One great change that happened was on the wheat’s starch structure. The intense cross breeding created a starch structure that has an effect to raise blood glucose levels even higher than refined sugar.
The starch is Amylopectin A.
To compare.
Amylopectin B is in potatoes and bananas and it is relatively high on the GI list.
Amylopectin C is found in legumes. Low on the GI listing.
Considering this, when one contemplates how many, especially fast foods, contain wheat and sugar, it is no wonder we are seeing a pandemic of diabetes.
Every drug has a side effect, and some side effects of some medications can effect the the pancreas.
In the four decades where I have been helping people to manage their diabetes I have seen diabetes develop after vaccinations and also after taking a course of antibiotics. Not everyone who is vaccinated develops diabetes and not everyone who takes antibiotics develops diabetes, but there are some who have.
There can be numerous causes for Diabetes, the refining of sugar, the hybridisation of wheat, coupled with the overuse of these products and the side effect of many drugs are all contributing factors.
Investigation in every case is necessary to ascertain the cause. Sometimes it is obvious, sometimes not.
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
-------------
PURE AIR
-----
Pure air contains 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen.
Oxygen is the most vital element needed for life.
Every one of our 100 trillion cells requires oxygen to produce energy.
When our pancreatic cells are deprived of oxygen it compromises their ability to produce insulin.
Chemical fumes, mouldy air, stale air and waste from industry and motor vehicles can all effect the amount of oxygen our cells receive.
Our Beta cells need oxygen to effectively produce insulin.
SUNSHINE
-----
As the sun hits the skin a few things are happening.
The suns rays warm the skin, this increases the circulation of the blood which is the oxygen carrier. Over exposure to the sun burns and damages the skin, and so discretion is needed. Also light skin should only have very brief exposure. Dark skin needs 10 times the sun exposure as light skin.
As the ultraviolet B rays hit the skin, a form of cholesterol just under the skin is converted to Vitamin D. Vitamin D is required by every cell in the body, and the pancreatic cells are no exception.
TEMPERANCE
-------
Temperance means not taking anything into the body that will harm, and taking in moderation the good things.
All good things should be done in moderation.
There are some things that must be eliminated to conquer diabetes.
REFINED SUGAR
In his book “ Sugar Blues”, William Dufty shows that there was no Diabetes on this planet until sugar was refined.
Sugar cane in its natural state does not cause a dramatic rise in blood glucose levels as the fibre slowly releases the glucose.
But on the other hand, refined sugar contains nothing to slow the release of high amounts of glucose into the blood. This dramatic rise in blood glucose levels demands a corresponding high release of insulin.
This constant whiplash of blood glucose levels is one of the main causes of wearing the pancreas out, contributing to diabetes.
CAFFEINE
The effect of caffeine on the nervous system is similar to the effect on the nervous system in a crisis. In the book “Caffeine Blues”, the author likens having a cup of coffee to meeting a tiger on the path. A crisis!
In a crises, the pancreas releases glucagon, which is insulin’s partner in controlling blood glucose levels. Insulin increases glucose entering the cell which causes a drop in blood glucose BG levels while glucagon causes a release in stored glucose to raise BG levels. When a crisis arises, glucagon is released to raise BG levels supplying the needed fuel in a state of heighten activity (crisis). As taking caffeine mimics a crisis response, glucagon levels increase. This is a further drain on the pancreas.
Caffeine is often found in combination with refined sugar, giving momentum to the whiplash in BG levels.
WHEAT
As previously noted, Dr Norman Borlaug is credited with developing the exceptionally high-yielding dwarf wheat of today. The starvation crisis certainly was relieved, but no animal or human safety testing was ever conducted on the hybridised wheat.
The intensive cross breeding of the wheat, produced a starch structure ( Amylopectin A) that raises blood glucose levels very high, very fast.
To give a comparison,
Amylopectin B is the form of starch found in bananas and potatoes. This starch raises BS reasonably fast. It is reasonably high on the Glycemic Index.GI.
But as the starch in legumes, Amylopectin C ,gives a much slower and steadier release of glucose. It sits quite low on the GI reading.
As a result, the hybridised wheat of today has a disastrous effect on diabetes.
Refined sugar and wheat go hand in hand in many foods, cereals, cakes, doughnuts, biscuits, cookies. These two foods are like kerosine to a fire in the case of diabetes.
DAIRY
Dr Colin Campbell, in his book “ The China Study” reveals how cows milk can contribute to diabetes.
The research shows that in people who are unable to break down the large protein molecules in milk, find some of these molecules are getting into the blood. The body then creates antibodies to deal with these. The problem is that these milk molecules are very similar in size and shape, to the beta cells in the pancreas. The antibodies have been found to begin attacking the beta cells. Thus contributing to a reduction of insulin production, as the beta cells are the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.
EXERCISE
-----
Inactivity is a contributing factor with Diabetes.
With our hi tech society today, many people spend long hours sitting. Not only the muscles become sluggish, but also the internal organs, including the Pancreas.
Lack of activity also compromises the uptake of glucose at the insulin receptor sites on every cell.
When the high carbohydrate/ refined sugar diet is consumed in conjunction with a sedentary lifestyle, this further contributes to the compromised working of the Pancreas, and insulin/ glucose absorption on the cell membrane.
REST
---
Every organ of the body goes through rest and work cycles.
The hours between 9pm and 2am are the hours that rest and regeneration are the most effective. These cycles are set by,
1. Temperature. The coolness of the evening tells the body that sleep is near.
2. Light and dark signals are carried through neuro chemical pathways to the brains body clock. The setting sun is an indication to the body that night is approaching and so too sleep.
3. Sleep pressure. Sleep pressure slowly builds all through the day, and as the day nears its end, the sleep pressure build up in the body produces the tiredness that invites sleep.
Sleep is vital for the regeneration of the pancreases beta cells while we sleep.
With the increase in use of iPads, Computers, mobile phones and television viewing, of an evening, sleep is compromised in the average person.
Dr Matthew Walker in his book “Why We Sleep” quotes the studies that show the average person in the industrialised countries today are experiencing 5-6 hours sleep a night. He shows how 8 hours is not negotiable for every function of the body to work effectively.
Not only that, the average retiring time is 11-12 midnight.
The most important hours are the hours before midnight.
This lack of sleep is an important factor when discovering why the Pancreas is being compromised, and failing to function efficiently.
FOOD
----
Every cell in the body requires a consistent, steady fuel supply to ensure the optimal functioning of each organ.
The Glycemic Index( GI ), of food is an index, or reading on how quickly the glucose in the food is released into the blood stream. Eating low GI foods can make a big difference to diabetics as it prevents surges in BS levels.
A refined diet, containing high amounts of processed food, mainly wheat and sugar, produces an inconsistent fuel supply in the blood. These foods also sit high on the glycemic index list. Pasta, bread, biscuits, cakes, cookies, pretzels, doughnuts, cereal, pies, pizza, rice, fried potatoes, refined sugar, to name a few, can all be considered high carbohydrate containing foods.
The great highs in BS levels that these foods produce, demand corresponding great highs in insulin to bring BS down. These levels are brought down by swiftly delivering the glucose to the cell, then glycogen store then the left over as fat. Often, this fast delivery of glucose out of the blood, results in low BS levels. ( Hypoglycaemia)
The response to this by the person is- more sugar. So these highs and lows continue, effectively wearing out the organ that is responsible for controlling BS levels- the pancreas.
WATER
----
Water, next to oxygen, is the most vital element needed for life. Every cell, every organ requires water to be able to function efficiently.
Diabetes is effected by dehydration in a few ways.
The Pancreas requires adequate hydration to be able to produce insulin and glucagon. These are the 2 hormones that balance BS levels.
Insulin increases the cellular uptake of glucose. So reducing BS levels.
Glucagon raises BS levels when they drop too low.
In a state of dehydration the production of these two hormones is impaired, thus compromising the balancing of BS levels.
Often the body can not decipher the difference between hunger and thirst. The hunger sensation many experience between meals is often thirst.
Water enables access to glycogen stores between meals which helps to maintain the status quo is BS levels.
Dehydration greatly impairs this process.
This explains why only water should be taken in the distance from one meal to the next.
Unfortunately many today are dehydrated, not only from lack of water, but also because of the dehydrating effects of coffee, tea and the many soda and caffeinated cold drinks on the market.
STRESS
-----
Worry compounds all problems. Research today is showing how anxiety, stress and worry can all effect BS levels.
These emotions place a heavy fuel load on the body, easily exhausting supplies. In a well functioning pancreas, it is up to the task of adjusting and adapting to such a demand. But with a compromised pancreas, such as in the case of Diabetes, the pancreas is often unable to meet this increase in required fuel, and hypoglycaemia can result.
Learning to value each moment helps to fade future fears and dissolve past pain. God has just given us one day, and tomorrow He will give us another day.
In fact He has just given us one moment, and soon we will have another moment. Practise valuing each moment and be thankful that you have been given a body with an inbuilt ability to heal itself, when given the right conditions.
Now give it the luxury of time.
TO CONQUER DIABETES.
-------------
PURE AIR
-----
Each cell requires oxygen and glucose to produce energy. When the energy cycle has oxygen it can deliver 18 times more energy compared to the energy cycle being deficient in oxygen.
Increasing the oxygen content in the body, not only increases the energy delivery at the cellular level, but also increases the Pancreatic cells ability to make Insulin and Glucagon.
Ensure that the quality of air that is being taken into the body is of the highest quality, by assessing and eliminating exposure to chemicals and mould.
Particularly the bedroom. We spend a third of our life in this room. Not only bedding needs to be checked, but also the quality of air that comes in through the window. The open window is a must.
In areas that have snow and extreme cold making the open window difficult, an air purifier or negative ion machine may be necessary.
EXERCISE
-----
The most powerful way to oxygenate the body is exercise.
Exercise contributes to conquering Diabetes in a few ways.
The increase in muscular activity, increases the demand for glucose in the cell. To accommodate this rise in glucose requirements, the membrane around the cell develops extra insulin receptor sites. As insulin is the key that unlocks the door to allow the glucose’s entry, more insulin means more glucose to give more energy.
Exercise stimulates the liver to release the glycogen stores. These are little molecules of glucose stored in the muscle cell. When released they supply fuel to the cell which helps maintain BS levels.
Exercise increases blood flow around the entire body, this includes blood flow to the Pancreas. The increase in blood flow to the Pancreas means more oxygen, more water, more nutrients and an expulsion of more waste products.
Exercise wakes up the Pancreas!
SUNSHINE
------
When the skin over the Pancreas is directly exposed to the suns rays, the warmth increases blood flow to the area. The increase in blood flow to the Pancreas means more oxygen, fuel and water. These are the very elements required by the Pancreatic cells.
The suns rays penetrate deep into the body stimulating life, vitality and health to every cell touched by its healing rays.
Vitamin D has 2,500 receptor sites on the DNA of every Pancreatic cell. This can a,so boost Pancreatic function.
Sun must be a part of the lifestyle principles to conquer Diabetes.
TEMPERANCE
-------
Keep the good things in moderation, but there are some articles that must be eliminated to effectively conquer Diabetes.
For reasons previously mentioned , wheat, caffeine, alcohol and refined sugar need to be eliminated from the diet.
Initially, even unrefined sugars, need to be used very sparingly, if at all, until the Pancreas begins to function properly. This includes maple syrup, palm sugar and honey.
Stevia is a natural plant sweetener that does not cause an insulin response.
REST
---
It is at night, while we sleep, that healing accelerates.
Specifically from 9pm and absolutely 8 hours a night.
To encourage healing in the Pancreas, we should be sleeping 9pm to 5am.
Or 8pm to 4am, or sometimes 10pm to 6am. These are the most effective 8 hour stretches.
To protect our cells, especially brain, and of course the Pancreas, wifi should be turned off in our homes no later than 8pm. This deters the damaging habit of being on computers, iPads and mobile phones after the sun goes down.
THE STOMACH
Much misunderstood and much over worked is the poor old stomach, and yet the efficient or inefficient functioning of the stomach effects digestion all the way down the gastrointestinal tract. As a result the whole body, even every cell is effected.
To understand the stomach, we need to consider the entry point, the mouth.
MOUTH
-----
The mouth is the only part of the gastrointestinal tract that we have say over.
1)We have say over WHAT goes in
2)We have say over HOW MUCH goes in.
3)We have say over HOW LONG it stays in the mouth.
4 We have say over HOW OFTEN or WHEN the food goes in.
5)And we have say over the ENVIRONMENT we are in as we eat.
1)WHAT
We choose whether we eat nourishing, wholesome food, or refined and devitalised foods. The nourishing food aids the body in efficient function and repair, whereas devitalised foods not only prevents proper function and repair but an also cause damage to cells.
The 3 essential food groups are Fibre, protein and fat.
FIBRE- all plant foods contain fibre.
PROTEIN- the best protein is the seed of the plant, as it contains all nutrients necessary for growth and life. Legumes, nuts and seeds are ideally eaten every meal to access the life giving properties in these seeds.
FAT-the seeds of plants also contain high quality fats. Coconut and olive are the 2 fats extracted from the flesh of the plant and so high heat and chemical equipment are not required to extract the oils, as are in the case of the hard seed. Best to obtain the oils from the seed by eating the seed/nut.
We also choose whether we drink with our meals. Large amounts of fluid effectively dilute the digestive juices in the stomach, inhibiting digestion in the stomach.
To avoid this, it is best to cease drinking 1/2 hour before the meal, and resume 1,1/2-2 hours after the meal.
2)HOW MUCH
The stomach can only hold so much food. Overeating burdens the stomach as only so much gastric juice is released each meal. It is just physically and chemically impossible for the stomach to efficiently digest huge amounts.
This burden calls on extra forces from brain and muscles and the person feels fatigue and sleepy. It is best to stop eating before the “full” feeling.
3)HOW LONG
The teeth are designed to masticate, or break into very fine pieces, our food. This produces a larger surface area for the digestive enzymes to work on. It also allows the brain to monitor what food types are in the mouth, which enables messages to be sent to the appropriate organs giving them time to prepare for the coming different types of food. Whether this be protein or starch or fat.
When food is not effectively chewed, all the aforementioned processes are compromised.
4)HOW OFTEN
The stomach takes 3,1/2 to 4 hours to digest the meal. It is important to grant it sufficient time to do this. A rest of one hour after this gives the gastric glands time to replace the gastric juices in preparation for the next meal. This requires a 5-6 hour break between meals.
Dr William Beaumont in his groundbreaking discoveries in the early 1800’s showed this. His book “ Experiments And Observation on The Gastric Juice and The Physiology of Digestion”, rocked the nutritional world when he proved the need for breaks between meals. The book was first written in 1833. I have the 1959 edition.
He discovered this in a very unique way. Dr Beaumont was called to an accident in a trading store. An 18yr old man ( Alexis St Martin), had sustained a gun shot wound to his right side which had injured his stomach and some of his ribs. He eventually healed but was left with a hole in his stomach like a mouth. Dr Beaumont saw he opportunity and began experimenting. He would use a silk thread with a piece of food tied to the end.
At intervals of 1-2-3-4-5 hours he would check the stage of digestion of the food. He found that digestion averaged 3,1/2 -4 hours. There were exceptions depending on the food eaten, how much and whether stressed when eating.
He meticulously documented his findings in his book.
The book and experiments are still quoted in most Anatomy and Physiology books today. Modern research confirms his findings.
Dr Michael Mosely in his book “Fast Diet” talks of allowing the stomach to rest between meals. He also refers to Time Restricted Eating (TRE). This is eating twice in a 6 hour period out of the 24 hour day. Allowing the stomach to have about an 18 hour fast.
7:30am breakfast and 1:30 lunch. Or some choose 9am and 3pm, it all depends on what works for you. This program is proving to increase insulin sensitivity in the cell, improve the metabolic rate, give better quality sleep and is a powerful tool in weight loss.
For this distance between meals to be achieved with ease, meal must contain high fibre ( plant based diet). Include generous amounts of protein ( legumes, nuts and seeds) and healthy fats ( nuts, seeds, avocado, coconut and olive oil).
Hunger between meals is usually a thirst indicator.
5)ENVIRONMENT
As an old book states “Cast off care and anxious thought when you sit to dine”.
Meal times should be a relaxed and happy time. If rushed or stressed or controversial issues are discussed at the meal table, the brain effectively blocks the release of Hydrochloric Acid, thus compromising digestion.
CARDIAC SPHINCTER
-----------
The swallowing action closes the trachea and ensures the food travels from the mouth, and down the oesophegas, then through the Cardiac Sphincter, which is the muscle that acts as the gateway into the stomach.
The Cardiac sphincter is a double layered muscle and is designed to prevent food from the stomach coming back up into the oesophegas. This muscle sits directly in the middle of the large muscle that sweeps across and under our ribs called the Diaphram. As with all muscles, this maintains its strength by use.
GERDS( Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
Poor posture, high chest breathing and weak abdominal muscles can all render the diaphragm muscle to become weak. This can contribute to a condition called REFLEX or HEART BURN or often GERD.
Late evening meals can cause the contents of the stomach to push against the Cardiac sphincter as a person lays down to sleep. When this situation continues night after night, it eventually weakens the muscle contributing to GERDs.
Stress tightens muscles and the Cardiac sphincter is no exception. When the Cardiac sphincter is relaxed it is closed, when it tightens, it opens. Stress contributes to GERDs.
Allergy to foods like wheat, dairy, peanuts and refined sugar can exasperate GERDs.
Low Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) can also be part of the cause of GERDs, as when the food is not digesting efficiently, fermentation may result, causing gas to push against the Cardiac sphincter.
To HEAL from GERDs
The main meals are best taken at breakfast and lunch, to allow an empty stomach at bedtime.
Exercises that target abdominal strength can be implemented, also ensure abdominal breathing to encourage diaphragm strength.
Address stress in the life and take steps to reduce it.
A magnesium supplement can be taken with each meal and just before bed to relax and encourage closure of the Cardiac sphincter.
Hydrochloric Acid can be boosted to increase stomach digestion and so reduce the possibility of fermentation. That will be discussed in the next section on the stomach.
If there is any irritation in the oesophegas, Slippery Elm can be taken just before retiring at night. This will effectively coat, soothe and contribute to the healing in the lining of the oesophegas.

Finally we have arrived at the stomach. As can be seen, the points previously discussed greatly effect what happens in the stomach.
The stomach is the only place in the body that is acid.
The stomach is lined with folds and these folds contain glands. 2/3 of these glands release mucous, which serves to coat and protect the stomach lining from the Hydrochloric Acid.
It is at the very base of the folds where the other third of the glands are situated. These are called the pareital glands, and these glands release Hydrochloric Acid HCl, and Pepsinogen, and the Intrinsic Factor IF.
HCl plays a few roles. HCl contains anti fungal, anti bacterial and a wide range anti microbial activity. This serves to wipe out any unwanted yeasts and pathogens that may have entered the stomach..
HCl also connects with Pepsingen in this Acid environment to produce Pepsin. Pepsin is the enzyme that breaks down protein. Pepsin can only break down protein in an acid environment.
B12
---
B12 is a bacteria, as such it is found in the teeth when we wake in the morning. Only small amounts, and we receive a little with our first glass of water in the day.
As a bacteria B12 is also found in rainwater tanks, on home grown organic fruits and vegetables and also in organically grown root crops.
But most B12 deficiencies are a result of low HCl levels and low levels of IF
IF plays an essential role in the absorption of B12. B12 is linked with an R protein in food. In the stomach, HCl releases that union. From there, B12 and IF travel separately until the Illium ( the last part of the small intestine) where IF and B12 connect and are absorbed through the intestinal lining into the entero-hepatic circulation. This system, that includes the liver, is where B12 circulates until it is needed by the body.
Low HCl
-----
Low HCl can effect digestion in a few ways. One of the symptoms is slow digestion and also bloating, as the food begins to ferment.
Let us first consider what causes this.
#Drinking with meals, especially large amounts, effectively dilutes the HCl. To remedy this delema, the body slows digestion, and the stomach endeavours to eliminate this extra fluid by absorption in an attempt to return to the required acid levels. Only then can digesting the protein be resumed. When the habit of drinking with meals continues, eventually HCl levels are bit by bit depleted.
#Eating in a stressful environment also effectively blocks HCl production.
#Eating every couple of hours exhausts HCl supplies.
#Overeating and eating a large meal late at night both contribute to depleting HCl levels. The last 2 points prevent the stomach being able to have periods of rest.
To boost HCl,
------
A/. bitter herbs can be taken just before each meal in the form of a hot tea.
1/3 cup of the hot tea stimulates a release of more Hydrochloric acid.
BITTER TEA
The bitter herbs are a mix of 1 part Gentain , 1 part Dandelion root , 1 part Licorace root, 1/2 part Golden Seal. 1 teaspoon of this herb mix, and 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger are gently simmered in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes.
This can be made ahead of time, kept in the fridge, and heated as needed.
B/. 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper in a little water can be drunk just before the meal.
C/ the juice of a lemon in in a little hot water before the meal
As well as these simple remedies, it is also important to Adhere to the dietary and lifestyle principles previously discussed.
HELICOBACTER PYLORI
Every body has helicobacter pylori. When the hydrochloric acid levels in the stomach are low, for reasons previously discussed, then this bacteria can multiply causing nausea and discomfort.
The remedy is to increase the Hydrochloric acid levels in the stomach, as just described, and this will kill off the excess helicobacter pylori, bringing back a state of healthy balance in the stomach.
This may take a few months, depending on how chronic the condition is.
Barbara, can you talk more about fruit please. Thank you
Dear Lola,
The amount and type of fruit each person consumes is largely dependent on their health status.
