DIARRHOEA:
Diarrhoea is a condition that involves the frequent passing of loose or watery stools – it is the opposite of constipation and can have many causes, which may be infectious or non-infectious.
Causes of Diarrhoea:
• Viral infections: Generally viruses like noro-virus, rotavirus and adenovirus are responsible for diarrhoea caused by viral infections. They are accompanied with mild abdominal pain, frequent loose bowel movements and low fever. In diarrhoea caused of viral infection, there is usually no passage of blood in the stools.
• Bacterial infections: cause more serious cases of diarrhoea. These infections are caused by unhygienic food or impure water. Symptoms include vomiting, fever and acute abdominal pain with potential blood passage in the stool.
• Medication: Antibiotics, chemotherapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and medicines prescribed to treat high blood pressure and irregular heartbeats may also cause diarrhea, or a very loose stool.
• Intolerances to certain foods: Some people are intolerant of different types of sugars like lactose (from milk), fructose (fruits, mainly fruit juice) and some artificial sweeteners. Others may be intolerant of all milk products. In such conditions consumption of these foods even in small quantities can lead to diarrhoea.
• Other causes: In certain cases anxiety or psychological pressures can also lead to diarrhoea as well as surgery of digestive system organ.
• Gastrointestinal diseases – such as IBS, Diverticulitis, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohns disease, Celiac disease can all have constant diarrhoea as part of the symptoms.
PLEASE NOTE: Turmeric is not the same as CURCUMINOIDS – Curcuminoids are a highly potentised extract of Turmeric (Maximized Curcuminoids are potentised 1,000 x) Maximized Curcuminoids were initially formulated at 250mg of Curcuminoids but due to requests from practitioners it was increased to 1000mg. This is because it is so poorly absorbed & so it is needed in high dosages & because they were finding that the benefits were only felt at a much higher dosage.
For bacterial infections or GI Tract symptoms: (for Viral infections – see GIGARTINA below). Curcuminoids are powerful antioxidants derived from the orange pigment of turmeric Curcuma longa, where it occurs in amounts of 2-9%. Maximized Curcuminoids provides 1000mg of the active ingredient, Curcumin, which is the part of Turmeric that has all the healthful benefits. However, it is a volatile oil that is poorly absorbed in the body, which is why it is needed in such high dosages & undiluted by the Turmeric itself. Curcuminoids have traditionally been used to support digestive & intestinal health, liver function, cancer prevention, environmental protection, skin health & anti-aging, post-surgical recovery & the urinary tract.
Diarrhoea is often a result of bacterial infections, viral infections, parasitic infections, or autoimmune problems such as inflammatory bowel diseases. Maximized Curcuminoids address all of these issues. Without the need for antibiotics, anti-inflammatories or pain killers. as well as being a natural anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial & pain reliever – it would immediately (within an hour or two) relieve symptoms greatly. A magic wand!
GIGARTINA RMA:
A special blend of 5 species of organic, wild harvested RED marine algae (skottsbergii, tenella, stellate & 2 others)
Helpful in treatment of:
Gastrointestinal Viruses, such as;
Rotavirus, Norovirus, Adenovirus, & Astrovirus (all known to cause viral gastroenteritis).
Sulphated polysaccharides form a shield around the cell membrane & stop the virus from adhering or entering the cell & duplicating itself within that cell. Sulphated polysaccharides not only stop the virus from spreading via its parasitic action, but also block & destroy the virus before it enters the cell.
The Gigartina genus of Red Marine Algae improve the body’s immune response to viruses, effectively suppressing herpes, flu viruses etc. especially in the initial stages of an attack. It strengthens the overall immune responses of the body & resulting health.
GREEN VIBRANCE VERSION 14.0:
A powdered concentrate of 73 valuable & targeted ingredients.
• 15 x Nutrient dense plant concentrates
• 4 x Sea vegetables providing iodine & trace minerals.
• 700mg Sunflower lecithin (non-GMO) for cell membrane & nerve support
• 5 x High fibre foods & prebiotics
• 8 x Antioxidants & circulatory support
• 7 x Antioxidants & liver support nutrients
• 3 x Adaptogenic herbs
• 3 x Immune support nutrients
• 12 x Dairy-free probiotic cultures (25 billion)
• 6 x Digestive enzymes
• 500mg CALZBONE, 2000i.u. Vit D3 & Phyto-Boron for skeletal support
• Phyto-Chromium & Phyto-Selenium
• Tonics – Ginger root powder & Cayenne pepper powder
• Supports a healthy digestive tract, thereby improving nutrient absorption, digestion & assimilation of all foods into the cells where they are needed for cellular repair & regeneration.
• Delivers a host of trace nutrients that are so often lacking in modern diets, in order to build healthy & vital cells. Improves circulation & cardiovascular health (& oxygen into the cells) in order to deliver those nutrients to every cell of the body;
• Supports a vigorous & efficient immune system
• Supports directly or indirectly the other body systems (i.e. musculo-sketetal, neurological, integumentary (skin), respiratory, urinary, endocrine & reproductive.)
• Contains sufficient natural plant fibre to assist in clearing of the sludge covering the villi, which line the intestines & are needed for improved absorption of nutrients, as well as better bowel functioning & toxin elimination.
Green Vibrance only benefits symptoms of diarrhea when they are related to a virus or GI tract disease such as IBS, Crohns, Celiac disease etc. The probiotics “good guys” in Green Vibrance fight off the “bad” bacteria & allow balance to be restored in the gut.
It is not recommended for a bacterial infection during the acute phase, as increasing the bacterial load in the gut (good or bad) can increase the diarrhoea. (See relevant protocol)
KREBS ZINC:
Krebs zinc is bound to 5 organic acids for maximum absorbtion. Five organic acids feed into the Krebs cycle in order to keep in running: citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid & alpha ketoglutanic acid. Since each cell generates energy throughout its life, the need for those 5 organic acids is constant. They are the “fuel of life”, as long as we are alive; there is a steady requirement for these five acids. Therefore, zinc that is bound to them is preferentially absorbed from the intestine, transported through the blood, delivered to the cells where it can be utilised. This is bioavailability as it should be.
Without adequate zinc, critical systems become flawed. Sense of taste becomes less acute (an early warning of zinc deficiency) or disappears, damaged tissue won’t heal, digestion falters, growth & development grind to a halt, bones weaken, & ageing accelerates. There is 25 times more zinc in white blood cells than in red blood cells, which is a clear indicator of zincs importance to immunity & disease resistance.
Zinc is extremely important for digestive health. It is required for all digestive enzyme production. It is also required to rebuild the fast-growing intestinal tissue & for the production of bile, & liver & pancreatic secretions. Ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, yeast infections, colitis, & many other digestive problems often have to do with low zinc.
