The stomach and GUT will be lined with rotting waste, unwanted bacteria and foods that was not digested properly in the stomach. The causes still remains the same - foods such as dairy eggs, gluten, meat, seafood consumed over a long period of time with heavy fats and proteins that weakens the bile and the hydro chloric acid in the gut. With weaker stomach acids and and ineffective weak bile, the food does not to get digested properly and leaks into the intestine while the pathogens feed on them . Overtime it reaches the colon which is the final dumping ground. This causes inflammation, pains constipation, diarrhoea and can also result in piles, fissures and yeast infections on the excretory organs. Please understand germs are not to blame. The come to decompose and feast on rotting matter. That’s natural law of decomposition. 

To heal this condition., It is best that you start cleaning the  GUT, which in turn will clean the liver, which in turn will be ready to absorb and deliver nutrients throughout the body and eventually cleaning the intestine as well.  If the previous organs in the process have done their job, the colon will not have to take a hit. it’s very important that the liver starts doing its job to heal any kind of intestinal issues/organs of excretion so that the unwanted food , pathogens and heavy metals doesn’t end up in the intestines and colon. Ideally these are supposed to thrown out naturally after altering its state, but when they end up as-is, they attract more issues in the colon which the colon might not be geared up to do 

When body organs are clean, they do their job perfectly well. With a right lifestyle this can be achieved . You must switch to a low fat plant based lifestyle. Low fat here because fats also come in low % from raw foods like fruits vegetables and greens. 

This is what I suggest because have helped a very severe case of gut who was suffering for more than a year.  It’s possible to heal with patience and discipline.

Kindly stay on —2-3 lts of fresh juices both from fruits and vegetables tender coconut, vegetable juices. Kindly be on this for 1 week. Any pathogen has to be naturally flushed in a liquid environment and do not attempt to water fast or dry fast. You must not be dehydrated in such cases. In acidic dry environment they multiply faster.

If you want to eat something, please eat only fruits. If you want something hot, drink hot water that’s infused with lime ginger cinnamon and cardamom. Load yourself with these only . 

 Stay on liquids for a week and fruits if hunger is unbearable. Drink liquids when u feel hungry.

You might see the symptoms, continue the liquids for one week or more if needed. With this the gut will be flushed out naturally and the body will restore back. Remember that not all toxins would have gone even if your symptoms have gone. The longer your condition the longer it will take. Don’t rush to eat cooked. 

Then onwards you have to maintain as below. 

To avoid this in future, avoid all diary meat. Veg juices and greens till 12, fruits only next, followed by vegetable and greens  , night 30% grains and 70% veggies steamed as a lifestyle.  No packaged ready to eat junk, eat a whole food plant based diet. No refined oils. No white sugar or brown or any fancy sugars. Just dates or moderate amount of jaggery occasionally. Avoid any form of processed sweetened foods

Also remember that if you are emotionally disturbed in any way, remove that. Practice gratitude and forgiveness. It’s best for your body. Show love to your body while it heals. Trust that this will work. 

Be blessed

Hi there, 

Acidity is a common stomach problem which can be rectified with minor lifestyle modification and change in food habits. Here are some of the advice you may follow ;

• Chew your food properly before swallowing, it'll make the food particles easier for absorption without adding burden to the guts.

• Eat-in smaller quantity. Overeating or heavy meals can trigger acidity. One way to maintain the balance is to eat only when you're hungry. 

• Follow regular eating time. Maintaining a long gap between each meal can let to excess gastric acid secretion triggering acidity.

• Chewing a slice of ginger or drinking a ginger juice or tea for several times a day can help neutralise the acidity.

• Add a few fennel seeds in water and boil them. Drink it for two times a day. You may also chew them.

• Pineapple juice is highly recommended for acidity due to the bromelain present in it which helps in controlling the acid.

• Add dietary fibres in your plate, consume more fruits and vegetables 

• Avoid spicy, oily junk foods, carbonated drinks or sodas, caffeinated drinks, smoking and drinking alcohol.

 • Utilise 45 minutes to an hour a day for physical fitness. This will help maintain your body structure, improve metabolism and reduce stress.

drink lemon water daily
