Natural Remedies for Pancreatitis: Herbs, Diet, and Supplements

She was still in the hospital when my mom purchased both and began give her 1/3 cup of each 3 times daily ...she has 1/3 of her pancreas left....Immediately the first day in doctor came in the room and reported her amylase levels and all test levels were normal...He has since begain addding this to his patient regime for pancreatitis treatment...my grandmother's uncle age 70+ also used this treatment in the hospital following an acute pancreatitis attack.. he recovered within hours....

Give it a try...My sister was dying...Years of substance abuse and fatty diet was killing her pancreas...she is alive and well at 30..

I woke up one day not being able to tolerate sweets. My blood sugar was going haywire. Nausea. Pain on left side radiating to back. Palpitations. Indigestion. Loose stools. Feverish etc. Research told me this was pancreatitis. Possibly caused by gallstone blockage. (It happens when there quick weight loss/gain.) I tried everything-ACV, Apple juice, baking soda, enzymes, aloe/papaya juice, lime juice...nothing worked. So got bhumiamlaki (chanca piedra). One cup of tea and could feel the gall stone blockage melting away!! The symptoms are fading now, even though apparently recovery can take up to 6 weeks.

Now I'm focused in healing - gymnema and neem help, aloe/papaya also helps along with Amla juice(Vit C) and activated charcoal poultices. Hopefully my pancreas will be brand new soon. But I will never be without my chanca piedra again. Hope this post helps others.

I was not getting better and by the third day on this regimen I started feeling a change. I also used grape seed extract, turmeric plus ibuprofen to bring the inflammation down. I am planning on following the low fat diet and no alcohol for the rest of my life. Please understand you must too, in order to get well. It is an adjustment but if you value your life, you have to make some positive changes. Good luck to all!

If weight loss is desired, there is a much simpler protocol, just avoid the sugars, fats and carbohydrates. When Dr. Atkins died, he did have a high cholesterol level. So obviously fatty liver can be from high fat meats, and fatty liver can occur. Hence granulated lecithin 1 teaspoon twice a day is taken also to restore liver to it's normal state, by removing the fats using a fat emulsifiying lecithin. In any case if you want to market any latest weight loss fad, it has to be complicated enough that people will buy book, too simple is simply unmarketable. Weight gain is generally seen as too much sugar in the system is converted to glycogen and fats, and fats are simply that, the body has great difficulty converting fats to energy, while proteins has little or no energy content and hence doesn't make you fat in general. However, as in all sugar, carbohydrate and protein they make your body acid, and the first organ to go is the pancreas since that's the major organ that has the most bicarbonates and hence are sensitive to acid forming food.

In addition, there are key amino acid more directly lated to weight loss, these include, l carnitine and often taken together with alpha lipoic acid, but also glutamine and glycine, and now and then arginine and lysine. These are the common supplements I used for weight loss. Certain amino acid are inhibitory and act as appetite suppressant such as taurine and glycine. Some minerals are appetite suppressants such as boron that I see most often. I don't generally use excitotoxins such as phenylalanine as it tends to damage the nervous system and weight back come back with a vengence. That's cause these excitotoxins damages the nervous system by overexciting them. The same can be said for monosodium glutamate, in low amounts they increase appetite in high amounts they have opposite effect, but that damages the hypothalamus and causes lifelong obesity. This is why scientist inject MSG into weanling rats so they can become obese. The same effect is also true whenever vaccinations are given to babies and they sometimes do add monosodium glutamate into these vaccinations.

One particular mineral besides boron that acts as mineral appetite suppressant is the zinc. Preferably I used zinc acetate, other forms such as zinc sulfate tend to induce vomiting. I believe it's the sulfate, and can be found also in epsom salt such as magnesium sulfate. Some may not be effected, but quite many Thais here seems to initiate vomiting after taking them in two or three hours will initiate vomiting. Generally zinc acetate is taken for only 50 mg per day for only one week, then I just stop them so that there's no exccessive zinc buildup and may take it again whenever the need arise a month or two.

juice 1/2 medium size beet (raw) 3 to 4 apples (raw), serve over crushed ice . My daughter liked to have died with e-coli 0157. When she was pulling out of the illness her body was so contaminated that she had severe pancreatitis. This simple drink cured her pancreatitis within 2 days.The crushed ice is optional.

Effects of using symbiotics in the clinical nutritional evolution of patients with chronic pancreatitis: Study prospective, randomized, controlled, double blind.

Dos Santos PQ1, Guedes JC2, de Jesus RP3, Santos RRD3, Fiaconne RL4.

Abstract

Patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) present malabsorption and changes in nutritional status. In this prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blinded, intervention study, developed at the Clinic of Pancreas, we aimed to assess whether the use of symbiotics changes the nutritional status, the biochemical data and the intestinal rate of these patients. The intervention consisted of administering 12 g/day of symbiotics composed of Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and fructooligosaccharides to the intervention group and 12 g/day of medium absorption complex carbohydrate to the control group. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee of College of Technology and Science - FTC under the number process 0528-2008; reg. 498 e was registered under ClinicalTrials.gov. We evaluated 60 patients and the intervention lasted for 3 months, with monthly monitoring. A statistically significant reduction was observed in the results by day in relation to the initial frequency (x = 2.3) and the use of symbiotics in the second (x = 1.47) and third (x = 1.37) months (p = 0.001). In the control group, there was no significant change in this frequency (p = 0.157). The results showed an increase in the levels of hemoglobin (p < 0.001), hematocrit (p = 0.001), red blood cells (p < 0.001), total lymphocyte count (p < 0.002), serum magnesium (p < 0.001), albumin (0.001) and total serum cholesterol reduction (p < 0.001) with the use of symbiotics. The changes were not observed in the nutritional status of both groups.

CONCLUSION:

The use of symbiotics improved the clinical and laboratory profiles of the evaluated patients with CP, favoring the best clinical outcome, and may be a therapeutic option because of the low cost and therapeutic effectiveness in this population.

Melatonin has a very good safety profile and is naturally produced by the body suggesting lower potential for allergic reaction. Here in the states, it is readilly available and inexpensive. Melatonin acts as a potent antioxidant that scavenges multiple forms of radicals in the body, but also improves the bodies own highly potent antioxidant system while potentially helping to reduce an excessive inflamatory response. Melatonin is also protective of the major organs. Here are a few studies suggesting the benefit of melatonin for pancreatitis that you can print and discuss with your doctor. :

But the lack of inositol wasn't the problem for the pancreatic symptoms rising. It was my primary diet of Long Chained Fatty Acids. I was eating lots of grass fed beef, eggs, tons of GLA (found in primrose, borage and current oil) . Long Chained are found in meat, egg yolks, avocados, olive oil, GLA and fish and fish oil - you can research this further. Coconut Oil and Palm oil are medium chained fatty acids and are the oils of choice.This article (link below) explains why Long Chained Fatty Acids, as well as alcohol, and the ensuing calcium release causes pancreatitis. It's more on the scientific life but if you can bear through that, you will see what actually causes pancreatitis - Long Chained Fatty Acids, Calcium.....

http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/31621/title/The-War-Within/

And on Inositol:

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01514942

The above link on inositol targets mostly how it is used for insulin resistance, but you can goole it for anxiety or depression and liver detoxification. For me using inositol eliminated complete my low blood sugar bouts, which causes huge stress hormones to be released.

He could not eat solid food for over 6 weeks and subsequently lost weight rapidly early on. He was one of the lucky ones that makes it home after the surgery and over a month without eating surviving off of IV. I had spent 2 months from diagnosis until post surgery release researching what to do. The standard medical process said they had nothing to offer him and basically sent him home to die, so we had no other options anyways.

I believe with all my body that at the root of all cancer, cancer cures and modern diseases are four main things: quantity of cellular oxygen, quality of cellular nutrition, type and amount of toxicity and level of acidity.

These things can be easily tackled in multiple ways. His entire protocol is centred around extreme increases in oxygen and nutrition and extreme decreases in toxins and acidity.

The Cancer Centres and doctors have all said "He should have been dead months ago and does not even appear on their results grid" His weight and energy is stable, he is getting stronger, eating normally, pain free, exercises and walks daily, sleeps well, has great color and is living an entirely normal life. He is entirely symptom free now.

I believe we owe his outcome thus far to his extremely positive attitude, prayers and an extensive natural protocol to address the four areas above.

I stay away from sugar, bread and everything that contains starches as well as alcohol and deserts, cakes etc.

Once a day I have a smoothie with a few strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, goat milk and stevia to satisfy my "sweet tooth". Otherwise I eat a lot of salads with lettuce and I add cabbage /bell peppers/carrots/tomatoes etc whatever is in my yard / fridge. My energy and concentration is best with a mixed salad and meat, like some chicken or fish, beef or lamb. In the winter time I cook often vegetable soups or miso soup to stay warm and I steam a lot of veggies. I eat goat or sheep cheese as desert to keep me longer satisfied. I drink lots of water and unsweet ice tea or hot tea. Once in a while I have a glass of dry wine. Unsweet black or green tea and lettuce is very good for the pancreas because of its "bitter" taste.

I also take every day twice baking soda mixed in water, which prevents beforehand any trouble with the pancreas. My salad dressing consists of organic apple cider vinegar, Herba mare (= salt herbmix available at health food stores or online) and flax seed oil (refrigerated).

Since I am on this "diet", I never had any trouble with the pancreas again, and my "genetically extremely high cholesterol level" has been normal ever since. This diet freed me also from weight problems and cravings.

After I sent you the email, I sent the article to my friend, a former geneticist at the CDC. I would like to share with you and the readers his response to me. After which I will give feedback on what now I believe can be the cause of Pancreatitis - in children, people who don't smoke or drink or consume large amounts of meat.

Here is the response to the article from my friend, former CDC geneticist:

"Good try if only you know a little about biochemistry.

It's not the length if the fatty acid side chain. The research shows that it's fatty acid ESTERS.

How does the body make an ester out of fatty acids? Ethanol! (alcohol)

Ethanol, while it's true that many people that drink alcohol do not get pancreatictis, this is probably because they have more robust mechanisms. Mostly in the liver, that are designed to interfere with this reaction in the body.

if your hypothesis were correct, everyone on a ketogenic, atkins, rosedale, or paleo diet would have pancreatitis"/

So, after receiving this feedback from my friend, I thought, why would children, non smokers, non-drinkers get pancreatitis? And why did my symptoms go away with eliminating long tailed fatty acids?

Let me answer the last question first: Because I had eliminated all fats, giving my pancreas a break. But here is where it get's interesting, please bear with me.

I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease in 2005. I was bit in1992, so I had was was clinically called, Latent Lyme Disease. It was serious for me - lots of symptoms in my CNS - Central Nervous Symptom, and no true cure in traditional medical field for Latent Lyme Disease - intravenous antibiotics, just make the Lyme spirochetes, and their cofactors go deeper into "hiding", and may come out later in life when the immune system isn't as strong.

After hanging on for about a year with Lyme Disease, I found a "clinic", only taking patients by word of mouth, that someone had reported to me that this Clinice had cleared her Lyme Disease. My first visit to them, they told me that I had so many hookworms in my pancreatic duct, that I was about to get Diabetes. They cleared the hookworms, and subsequently cleared the Lyme and it's cofactors. Hookworms? I have pictures of me at 3 years old on the dirt with my dog.. hookworms live in the soil.

So going back to parasite infection in the pancreatic duct and what Hulda Clark's protocol of mainly clearing Liver Flukes. According to her, Liver Flukes are on all raw veggies and harmless enough - until one is exposed to Isopropyl Alcohol. This agent causes the liver flukes to digest the lining around them, to then, reproduce in the digestive tract as real agents of concern. in other words. liver flukes are harmless, until exposed to rubbing alcohol, which cause the activation of the larva to come alive and then become harmful liver flukes.

So what I am taking now, instead of Humaworm, Hulda Clarkes zapping and or wormwood conception, is potent oreganal drops, from the wild mountains of Greece, google it on Amazon, to kill parasites.

If you decide to order it, please read carefully the reviews. It is so potent that is can burn holes in you skin. I carefully put 4 or 5 drops in a gelatin capsule and down it with a huge glass of water, and sometimes with aloe vera juice, inner filet only. This oregano oil will kill any parasite in the body, but has to be used regularly. Perhaps Humaworm will be just as good, but haven't used it, so don't know.

Keep in mind that when you kill any unwanted organisms in the body too fast, you might have a Herxheimer reaction, as such go slow..... If with children, I personally would use the Humaworm, and lots of water.......Oregano Oil is for the big timers.

Hope this is helpful!

Supplementing Zinc & Niacin will help alcohol detox.

The normal dosage is 3 tablets twice a day on an empty stomach. When I have it really bad, I take 3× 5 pills. It saved my life. With this supplement, I can eat a normal diet.
