The Curious Case of Chronic Diarrhea, Plus One Natural Antidote…

Here is a subject that people do not like to talk about, think about, read about, nor  personally experience, much less to write about…  However, according to the U.S. Department of  Health and Human Services, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), studies show that nearly 20% of the adult population suffer with some sort of  functional gastrointestinal disorder.

There are many labels given to gastrointestinal disorders—colitis, mucous colitis, ulcerative colitis, spastic colon, nervous colon, spastic bowel, irritable bowel syndrome, and Crohn’s Disease, to name a few.  The most common symptoms include:

  • abdominal pain or discomfort
  • changes in bowel habits, i.e. diarrhea and/or constipation
  • cramping

Along with the many names associated with diarrhea, comes an equally long list of possible causes—bacterial overgrowth; body chemicals that go awry; brain-to-gut signal problems; food sensitivities; gastrointestinal motor problems; genetics (this is oftentimes used as a scapegoat answer); hypersensitivity; and mental health problems.  Don’t you just love it when your problem is placed into that infamous “all-in-your-head” type of category?  If you’d like to learn why those in medical occupations label so many diseases as mental ones, read my book WARNINGS of Disease: Your Body Uses Symptoms to Communicate.

The bottom line is, researchers have yet to find the root cause of the problem.  Why? Perhaps they don’t want to find the exact cause…  Here’s something to think about—there’s little money to  be made after finding causes of disease.  There is more money to be made doing research, in the practice of medicine, in the development and sales of pharmaceutical drugs, and performing surgery.

That being said…  When a person is suffering they want, and oftentimes demand, immediate relief for their symptoms.  Many are unwilling to devote the time it takes to isolate and eliminate the exact reason  as to why their body is signaling with distress.  Keep in mind that distress signals are a body’s way of saying that there is something terribly wrong with its intake.

So, back to the subject at hand—chronic diarrhea.  Someone in my family had been experiencing chronic diarrhea for several years.  They tried prescription and over-the-counter remedies, and doctors had performed numerous medical tests to find out what was wrong.  However, like many medical procedures that are performed in this day and age, the tests came back “inconclusive.”  I suggested taking dried egg shell powder, 1/2 teaspoon, two times a day, based on information that I had read.  They reluctantly agreed to try it, but it worked!  Their chronic diarrhea stopped within 3 days of taking egg shells, and they are quite pleased with the outcome.

If you’re suffering with chronic diarrhea, here’s an all-natural remedy that you might want to try if you’re not allergic to eggs:

  • Only use shells from fresh, organic eggs
  • Rinse egg shells well
  • Dry egg shells in oven at 350° for 8 minutes; or use convection oven set at 325° for 8 minutes; allow egg shells to cool
  • Grind egg shells into a fine powder using a coffee grinder
  • Take 1/2 teaspoon of dried egg shell powder twice a day mixed with water, organic coffee, organic tea, or fresh juice; or sprinkle egg shell powder over food.

If you try this remedy and it works, please let me know.  It would be good for other sufferers to hear of your successful outcome, too.

The case of the ingrown toenail and its natural remedy…

Back in the early 1990’s, I developed an ingrown toenail. It was extremely painful and became horribly infected. As most people do, I sought the services of a podiatrist. As can be expected, he recommended drugs and surgery. Isn’t that what doctors are trained to do?

Back in the early 1990’s, I developed an ingrown toenail. It was extremely painful and became horribly infected. As most people do, I sought the services of a podiatrist. As can be expected, he recommended drugs and surgery. Isn’t that what doctors are trained to do?

At the time, I did not have a full understanding of the human body and how it works. I didn’t realize that every time we get a symptom, our body is speaking to us and trying to tell us what is wrong. So I succumbed to the doctor’s advise. He surgically removed part of my toenail (big mistake) and put me on antibiotics (another mistake.)

Over two decades later, I recently developed another ingrown toenail. Why is this significant? If you’ve read my book WARNINGS of Disease: Your Body Uses Symptoms to Communicate, you’ll see that in 1996 I changed my diet and lifestyle habits and was completely healed of over 35 diseases; 100 symptoms disappeared; I lost 60 pounds; and I quit taking 23 prescribed drugs. I’ve been healthy since then and continue to lead a healthy lifestyle.

I’ve learned over the years that every symptom the body sends forth is a definite form of communication. It’s up to each of us to listen to our bodies and to remove the offending source of our discontent. With regards to this recently developed symptom of an ingrown toenail, I went into sleuth mode and quickly ascertained a couple of things.

I used to wear nail polish (toxic chemicals) all the time. My nails were never without polish. When I experienced the first ingrown toenail, without reasoning I quit polishing my toenails. My son was recently married and I decided that I should have painted toenails for the occasion to go along with my new silver sandals. (Turns out that this was bad decision.) I bought some nail polish and polish remover from a health food store that were supposedly non-toxic. I thought all would be well.

Two weeks ago, I decided to use the polish once again. As it turns out, that was another mistake.

I did some research on the nail polish ingredients and found that they are toxic in nature. I could kick myself for not doing this first! After pondering the ingrown toenail and the toxic ingredients for awhile, I put two and two together: the ingrown toenail was the result of wearing toxic nail polish. I am now officially done with ever wearing nail polish again…

Last night, the pain in and around my toenail became increasingly worse. Since I’m not used to pain anymore, I actually felt nauseous from it. The side of my toe was also red and swollen. These are three of the “Five Cardinal Signs of Inflammation” that the body uses to communicate. If the offending cause of a symptom is not removed, sickness and disease take hold. You can read more about the 5 Cardinal Signs in my book.

I knew that I needed to find a natural remedy ― fast! So I went to the Internet to do some research. I found a remedy that was all-natural, one that sounded like it had potential. I changed it up a bit and here’s what I did:

1) Soaked toes in approximately 1 quart of warm water mixed with 2 tablespoons of sea salt for about 30 minutes.
2) Taped a liberal slice of organic onion to the toenail of the big toe. Put a sock over the foot and then went to bed. I could actually feel the pain subside after the onion had been on my toenail for about 10 minutes.
3) This morning I removed the sock and onion, and was able to easily clean out the toenail bed and clip the offending nail.
4) Taped a fresh basil leaf over the toenail.

I’m happy to report that the ingrown toenail, and all pain associated with it, are now GONE! 🙂

The basil is still taped to my toenail and I will remove it tonight. I’ll also soak the toe again tonight in salt water, for good measure.

I love playing detective and finding the root cause of a problem, and I LOVE A NATURAL REMEDY! I’d also love it if you’d read my new book. 😉 My mission in life is to help people realize that toxic chemicals, those that we consume through processed foods, drugs, and other products, are causing us to be sick, diseased, and overweight.
