thank you for all of your suggestions! I got myself a whole bunch of nettles and combined those with a bit of peppermint, burdock root, dandelion root, licorice root and lavender buds and have been drinking that tea twice daily. It seems to be amazingly nourishing and healing. The applesauce and yogurt are of course staples and I have done a bit of the slippery elm as well, though it is my friend who has IBS who has really had some results with the Slippery Elm. He says thank you as well!

I have taken the curing pills many times and strangely they always seem to upset my stomach more than they cure. I don't know why, could just be my body chemistry. I think with most intestinal situations like this is seems like the best thing to do is allow whatever the irritant is to pass through and continue to support and nourish the body as it detoxifies. On a bit of a different note, this has been one of the most intense spiritual cleanses I have ever experienced in my life. I have had some very vivid visions and have made some major shifts in my life path in a very short time span as a result of being so ill. I guess it just goes to show that our bodies are truly wise and are always giving us pieces of wisdom, even if we don't always want to listen =)

so much love to all,
~AiO~
