HIATEL HERNIA, ACID REFLUX, IBS, STOMACH POLYPS
06/20/2008: Paloma writes: "Can someone help me. I have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and suffer acid reflux constantly. Also, I have irritable bowel syndrome, stomach polyps and I had colon resection surgery due to diverticulitis. I have been reading the comments regarding the use of ACV & baking soda, grapefruit seed extract, and lemon and baking soda. These suggestions make sense to me because I strongly believe that all of these problems may be caused by a virus/bacteria. Due to the different problems that I have what combination of these can I take. Also, I believe that I should use a colon cleanser but I am not certain what product I should use. Please, please help me."

12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS
09/15/2007: Lori writes: "My 12 year old is underweight with ulcerative colitis...
"... usually 1/2 a lime (approx 4 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime) with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/4 glass of water is taken twice a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime. A drinking water with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in 1 liter of water and a twice or three times a week vitamin B complex (its usually called B50, where most B's are B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8 are 50 mg, except for folic acid is 50 mcg and B12 50 mcg) should resolve the problems in a matter of 2-3 weeks.
Would this work for my daughter with her being on meds for her UC? She's on Asacol, azithioprene ( Imuran) and prednisone. I need to get her health back. She also has receding gums. I sent you an email on that subject."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "If ulcerative colitis, essentially it is the zinc and magnesium will offer the best way in killing the hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria. Alkalizing discourages their growth. It also happens whenever constipation occurs first. Once it sets in the wounds of ulcerative colitis are relatively slow to heal. A small coconut oil, my help some healing when added to food as it creates a barrier between the foods and the esophagus for example to allow some healing. Zinc supplements, and sometimes a small pinch of zinc oxide mixed in water will absorb the hydrogen sulfide.
Vitamin B complex will help with the appetite, but does not directly deal with ulcerative colitis, but does help with underweight condition. In some instances 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in one liter of drinking water will reduce the incidence of ulcerative colitis as the salt somewhat discourages the microbial growth."

ULCERS IN COLON AND RECTUM, LOSING WEIGHT
08/24/2007: S. writes: "HI ,,,, I'M S____ _____FROM KARACHI PAKISTAN. I HAVE BEEN PATIENT OF ULCERATIVE COLLITUS SINCE 3 YEARS. I M 20 YEARS OLD. DOCTOR MY DISEASE IS NOT IN CONTROL.

IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR CURE OF UC? CAN I GET RID OF FROM THIS DISEASE FOR WHOLE LIFE I AM WAITING FOR UR REPLY THANX."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "The Cause of Ulcerative Colitis is due to sulfate reducing bacteria which creates hydrogen sulfide. At higher concentrations, it destroys the tissues. The environment needed for growth is a pH of 7 or below, but at pH above 8, the bacteria is suppressed. To neutralize the hydrogen sulfide requires zinc oxide and zinc supplements, to increase the alkalinity of the intestinal tract requires magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia), but blood is required to be more alkalize.
Mouth ulcers are based on the same principal. They also tend to be sensitive to high salts enviroment. Foods high in sulfur and sulfates creates growth. Sodium citrate, baking soda, are helpful. Nitrates rich foods are helpful as they are antagonistic to sulfates rich foods, Most irritation aspects of the hydrogen sulfide should be reduced greatly with the zinc oxide and they can be taken with a bath. Low oxygen environment makes them favorable to growth. Magnesium are also helpful in reducing certain opportunistic bacteria such as the staphyloccus as they also destroy tissues through flesh eating action. Low sulfate food might be helpful.
When foods are improperly digested, sulfur rich foods become a food source for bacteria to grow on and as a result, creates hydrogen sulfide, which can be reduce by taking humic acid, 1/ 4 teaspoon once a week or taken regularly until the ulcerative colitis heals. Sometimes ammonia in urine is an indication of improper digestion and the fact of adding humic acid reduces that too, and hence the value of using humic acids added to the water necessary to reduce cloudy urine and ammonia smelling urine which indicates improper digestion of product. In fact Texas A&M University found ammonia in animal wastes was reduced by 64% as well as reduction of sulfur rich foods such as corn and straw in hogs. It is this that cause the ulcerative colitis where Hydrogen sulfide destroys the delicate tissues of the stomach lining. The color of urine was also reduce and more colorless and less odor. Vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin Bs (in particular vitamin B5 and the need to lower some phosphorous diets too.
In general, the remedy I would likely to concentrate on is 1/16 teaspoon of zinc oxide plus 1/2 teaspoon of milk of magnesia plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 glass of water taken twice a day. Some immediate relief of ulcerative colitis should be experienced. The dose is not a perfect one, but it seems twice a day, once in the morning and once before bedtime is helpful. If the remedy causes somewhat of a diarrhea or laxative effect, then I would likely reduce the milk of magnesium and baking soda by 1/2. I am have a good feedback on this one, although there simply is not enough feedback I would like to receive from this remedy. I believe the remedy should be taken only 4 days out of a week should be generally be sufficient.
As always, some changes in diets especially reduction in acid forming foods (bread, meats, pizza, cheese, etc) and most of all no oily and fatty food especially no sugar. Otherwise it would worsen the condition. Artificial sweeteners are acid forming just the same and a sea salt should be replaced instead of the use of common table salt as common table salt is too acid for people with ulcerative colitis.

HOW LONG DOES BAKING SODA AND WATER TAKE TO WORK?
11/16/2006: Paul writes: "Ted, I have made some good impovements with the Baking soda and water cure for ulcerative colitis. I was wonder, Does this take a while to fully heal the colon? Can I continue to take baking soda until I feel the colitis is gone? Should I try taking this more times a day to speed up the healing process? Thanks in advance for your feedback, Paul"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Paul: The baking soda is what I refer to an unrecognized deficiency that our body needs. My body consumes at least 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda per day, and if it runs out and the food or water does not have the necessary bicarbonates, the body is forced to produce itself through various shortcuts that has unfavorable effects.
Assuming your acid stomach digests the food, the acid food must somehow be neutralized by this acid and it is the intestines that does bulk of the work. I mean it is about 20 feet long compared to only a mere 6-10 inches of stomach. Whenever the intestines does not have the required bicarbonates, harmful acid gets absorbed into the system, causing havoc. For example, a food rich in oxalic acid, without the necessary bicarbonate to neutralize to form sodium oxalate, will go into the body and react with the body's calcium to produce calcium oxalate. This will cause kidney stones, or if excess acid occur in intestines, without the available means to neutralize it as such, it is the intestines that get digested, and may even cause ulcerative colitis in a very few instances.
As such, baking soda is a dietary food just like water, and the body needs it all the time. You need not take everyday, since the body, works in cycles, and therefore you can take it between 3-4 days and don't take it for 3-4 days also. However, in the event that you are sick, usually it is wise, in my opinion to take it for about 5 days and 2 days of no bicarbonates.
Therefore you should continue taking it with some brief off period to allow the body to rests or adjust itself.
Should you take more? This all depends on your urinary pH. An optimum urinary pH is between 6.5- 7.4. If your urinary pH is below that take more of the bicarbonates as necessary to raise it to normal figures. Normally, you can check your urinary pH after 1 hour of ingestion of baking soda to monitor whether you actually took enough of it. So yes you can take as many times as you wish, if the urinary pH are still below normal values.
The fish in aquarium shops are often healthier because they have all the proper tools to keep them healthy depriving ourself of such health. So you need to do what you do to the fishes, namely buy a litmus paper to check for your urinary pH instead of the fish tank for once. Another helpful way is to reduce your drinking water's chlorine by adding some dechlorinator, also sold at fish shops. The fluoride additive in drinking water can be neutralized by adding a pinch of borax. The safety record of borax is good, it's toxicity is fairly close to that of an ordinary sea salt. People always asked me why is the sperm counts for most developing countries goes down year after year, the answers easy: you have been drinking fluoridated water. But also fluoridated water in general may slow down healing of ulcerative colitis as well as chlorine too. Just neutralize both of this and it will help healing faster. Ted"

Answer- try turmeric. Go to Turmeric Cures webpage of Earthclinic. My wife tried turmeric and she's happy."
05/08/2006: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "There are several simple ways you can deal with ulcerative colitis. While I don't have the luxury of having any medical equipments or tests, most of the problem can be handled by just understanding certain causes and this should deal with a great majority of ulcerative colitis conditions. While I don't know the exact causes of everyone, I have seen people being cured based on certain possible causes as follows. You will find the remedies is amazingly simple:
If the issue of ulcerative colitis is one of a specific strain of pathogens, usually baking soda (bicarbonate deficiency) is by far the most common cause.
Method 1. The reason is simple. For the intestines to function it must be in an alkaline condition. If it is in acid condition, the intestines would digest itself and certain pathogens would grow because they tend to grow best in an acid medium. When this happens, the ability for the body to absorb minerals and other nutrients becomes immediately impaired. I will suggest two ways to alkalize yourself and you determine which ones works best for you. 1. One half tablespoon of baking soda in about 1 glass of water on AN EMPTY stomach for at least 1-2 hours. If you were to eat anything salty during this period, you will go into an immediate diarrhea, so please avoid eating anything during this 1-2 hour period, bot before or after, especially salt! 2. For my own conditions, I find alkalizing myself almost on a daily basis that using 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid usually works best for me. This is taken best before going to bed or very early morning, but again refrain from eating at least 2 hours after taking it. Other formulas are possible such mixing baking soda, malic acid, vitamin C, and citric acid together, where final pH or solution is around 6-7.5. If this works for you, you need to take this, at least for rest of your life (it is cheap and safe) to maintain a stable pH for your body. The solution usually is effective at the most 2 days, but in practice taking once or twice a day is best. Measuring your urinary pH will usually tell you that how well it is working or whether you do in fact have a bicarbonate deficiency.
Method 2. Of course if the above doesn't work, but they usually do to some extent, then you could have another form of bacteria, which tends to be more active and related to IBD (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). In which case an amazingly simple remedy would be to give yourself 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon SEA SALT(always start with small doses first!) in one full glass of water. Only ONE DOSE is needed to be cured and the pain and other things should slowly subside over the week with most noticeable pain reduced in the first 30 minutes. The sea salt acts as a hypertonic solution (as opposed to hypotonic solution) to kill the bacteria. Again sea salt must be taken on empty stomach for 1-2 hours. This means that the last time you eat was about 1-2 or more hours or that you will eat in more than 2 hours from now. Hypertonic solutions are effective in killing osmotic sensitive bacteria.
Method 3. Of course if the conditions of the first two don't work, but you find that method one works slightly better, then we would be looking at getting a higher alkaline solution such as 1/4 teaspoon of potassium carbonate in 1/2 glass of water. Of course, this is for the more bioweapons disease if you needed to go this way, such as Gulf War Disease which resulted in a ulcerative colitis. I am sure this is not needed, but I just want to mention here since I once had a condition which called for this kind of treatment for my sore throat or sore stomach that nothing seemed to be working.
Method 4. This works more in killing off the pathogens through the use of benign minerals such as Magnesium chloride and I have seen that after taking this improvement can be seen amazingly enough within 15 minutes. This is when the intestines or stomach becomes non-functional in which case magnesium chloride worked. The usual doses for my own test were about 250-500 mg. on 1/2 glass of water. If it works, you can just go 1000 mg later on or add more if you respond better. I can't guess at your conditions because I don't know your weight, but just try 500 mg. based on your conditions. If that is not better, then I have seen royal jelly to respond best when magnesium chloride solution did not worked. I used one half teaspoon of fresh frozen royal jelly. Should you feel better from the above four, especially method one, you need to get your intestines to heal or regenerate itself. The best way is just to take 1 tablespoon of aloe vera oil 1 tablespoon of evening primrose oil and then take lecithin. Finally, take B12 shots, vitamin Bs, magnesium and copper, selenium and zinc especially. This should clear most of the conditions. The secret in effective mineral supplements is the bioavailability of them and how the tablet can quickly dissolve in the stomach or a glass of water in less than 15 minutes, 30 minutes tops.
Again, I am living on the other side of the world, so people here and your area might respond differently, but this is what I found, at least where I live to work the best. I never take doctor's medication if I know these worked and they seemed to work for me. However, should I take it and found these are working then it may very helpful to stop taking them. I found some of my friend got morbidly obese just taking certain doctors medication. Apparently suppressing the body's immune system is not the way to a healthy body. The body is out of balance, but it is probably not the immune system. It may be a simple things such as pH, mineral imbalance, vitamin imbalance or even salt imbalances! In the long run, taking fulvic acid has more broader spectrum of minerals then most mineral supplements on the market."
