3 things I'd recommend taking….

#1. Swedish Bitters: The origins of bitters class of digestive medicines go back to the ancient Egyptians, who may have infused medicinal herbs in jars of wine. This practice was further developed during the Middle Ages, when the availability of distilled alcohol coincided with a renaissance in pharmacognosy, which made possible more-concentrated herbal bitters and tonic preparations. Many of the brands and styles of digestive bitters reflect herbal stomachic and tonic preparations whose roots are claimed to be traceable back to Renaissance era pharmacopoeia and traditions.

Digestive bitters are typically consumed in many European and South American countries either neat or on the rocks at the end of a meal. Many, including popular Italian-style amaros and German-style Kräuterlikörs, are often used in cocktails as well.

The Austrian Herbalist Maria Treben in 1940's as a young girl at the time, was introduced to this recipe when she was very ill with typhoid fever (commonly known as Dirty Water Disease) in a WWII camp in Bavaria, Germany, caused by contaminated meat. Complicated by other painful ailments contracted as a World War II refugee, Maria plight is detailed later in this book. The "medicine"given to her by a Nun was accompanied by a transcript of an "Old Manuscript" which explained in 46 points how this tonic would heal virtually all illnesses.

After it helped her to recover, she made Swedish Bitters mix into a very popular remedy in her book “Health through God's Pharmacy” and said the following: These drops heal every illness. It sounds almost like a fairy tale, but it is true.

#2. Recipe for a healing tea which is a natural remedy for many diseases, it kills parasites and cleans the body of toxins:

Rob's Tummy Busting Recipe – Good for upset stomach, bloating, gas, travelers diarrhea, minor stomach pain, bacterial infection of the stomach, food poisoning and other digestive issues.

1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed powder
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup of warm water

Mix all the ingredients together.

Note: Increase Effectiveness: To increase turmeric absorption in the body, add 1/4-1/2 tsp. Of ground black pepper.

Why it works?

Turmeric may help people with ulcerative colitis stay in remission. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the digestive tract where symptoms tend to come and go. In one double-blind, placebo-controlled study, people whose ulcerative colitis was in remission took either curcumin or placebo, along with conventional medical treatment, for 6 months. Those who took curcumin had a relapse rate much lower than those who took placebo. Turmeric fights inflammation, while ginger has anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties.

Ginger also has plenty of medicinal qualities that can relieve certain health conditions. Ginger is known for its anti viral properties, inflammation, nausea, vomiting, asthma, dementia, ulcerative colitis, cardiovascular diseases, platelet aggregation and cholesterol, osteoarthritis, anti-cancer, stimulates the immune system and can help with digestion and many others.

Ginger and cinnamon are regarded and used as spices and herbs to make meals more flavorful. But they are also found to be rich in medicinal properties. Among the many benefits of cinnamon and ginger include aid in digestion, anti-viral properties, high blood pressure, diabetes prevention, cold, flu, weightloss and pain relief among others.

The data strongly suggest that cinnamon is a potent anti-inflammatory herbal medicine that can be used to treat inflammatory bowel disease.

Fennel seed is used for a number of digestive problems, like constipation and gassiness, notes research, and contains active compounds that may help reduce spasms and cramping. Ginger, on the other hand, can potentially relieve symptoms of nausea, according to a systematic review published in Food Science and Nutrition.

#3. Slippery Elm Bark Capsules (can be taken with #2 remedy also).

Slippery Elm Bark contains mucilage, a substance that becomes a slick gel when mixed with water. Mucilage is the most abundant constituent of slippery elm bark, but the tree also contains starch, sugar, calcium, iodine, bromine, amino acids, and traces of manganese and zinc. It coats and soothes the mouth, throat, stomach, and intestines. It also contains antioxidants that help relieve inflammatory bowel conditions. Slippery elm also causes reflux stimulation of nerve endings in the gastrointestinal tract leading to increased mucus secretion. The increased mucus production may protect the gastrointestinal tract against ulcers and excess acidity.
