FINALLY A DIAGNOSIS FOR MY GUT ISSUES!!!

This is from my blog over on Substack called Don’t Speak Health, health news we’re not supposed to speak about. I’m reposting it here today because I’ve had a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH with my gut issues and I wanted to share my joy with all of you here as well.

Disclaimer: This article is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

It’s called Maganblase and like I said above I’ve never heard about it until yesterday and I didn’t get the news from the Medical Doctors, I got the answer from my Chiropractor!

That makes sense because he is an unbiased doctor coming into the picture with a fresh perspective, whereas the medical doctors had already thrown their hands up and had given up on me. They could tell me that I had slow digestion but beyond that they had no answers.

As I was telling the Chiropractor about the issues I’ve been having with my guts the last few days he asked me if I had ever heard of Maganblase. I said no I haven’t and after he examined me and made his adjustments to my neck and back he took me to the xray room to show me what he had found on my xray’s from 2 years ago (I’ve had this condition for 3.5 years). Here is what it looks like on an xray. It was identical to what showed up on my xrays!

“Magenblase” refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by postprandial fullness, pressure, and bloating, often relieved by belching. It is caused by an enlarged air bubble in the stomach. The syndrome can sometimes be mistaken for angina pectoris, with left-sided chest pain, shortness of breath, and palpitation.

This is what has been causing my issues for the last 3.5 years. Now that I finally know WHAT it is I’m dealing with now I can pray against it and research it to figure out WHY it’s happening in the first place. Some of the preliminary research I’ve done says that it could be caused by anything from an enlarged spleen to carcinoma of some kind but I would think I would have other issues if those were the cause. For the most part I feel pretty good with the exception of when I get those large gastric air bubbles.

The other part that’s confusing to me is that the belching always happens before and during my bowel movements. It almost seems like my body is trying to get rid of toxic gasses anyway that it can and maybe I have a pathway that’s blocked so it comes back up through belching? I’m not sure but it’s a new area for me to research now that I know what I’m dealing with. I’m considering trying a weekly coffee enema to help move things along but that’s a whole new area of research.

At the end of the day I feel like I’ve reached a huge breakthrough and I give credit to the power of prayer and God answering that prayer more than anything else! It was Him guiding my steps that brought me to the right Chiropractor after 3.5 years of suffering. Don’t think that the 3.5 years in length is lost on me either. I’ve been through a sort of trial by fire, a personal tribulation if you will and it has built my faith exponentially. Once the shock wore off yesterday I have been ecstatic and my symptoms have suddenly reduced! I will be thanking and praising God throughout the day that much is certain!

None of the allopatchic doctors could tell me what was going on, even after so many tests, scans and xrays. At the end of the day all they could do was tell me my digestion was slow and the rest must just be in my head. Here, take these poisonous pills and stop whining was essentially what they told me in the end. Not one of them saw the gas bubble that was so obvious to my Chiropractor. It jumped off the film for me as well. It’s amazing how blind the MDs can be because of their refusal to look at anything outside of the box. It’s like they’re chained to their physcians desk reference book and anything outside of that doesn’t matter.

So after 3.5 years and all kinds of “cures” that didn’t work and tests that gave me no answers I got my answer from the power of answered prayer. Don’t ever give up, keep the faith no matter what happens! I almost gave up on the Chiropractor because I didn’t think he was doing me any good but God told me to keep going when I prayed. This reminded me to NEVER give up because you might be right next to your breakthrough and you don’t want to miss it!!! If I had canceled my appointment for yesterday I would still have no answers today.

I used to pray and worship through the belching if I could because I refused to let this defeat me. It put me in the hospital once and urgent care many times but nothing they offered did the trick. Don’t be afraid to seek help outside of the box! Seek out a naturopathic doctor like a Chiropractor and do your own digging online. You have a vast library to look at so use it!

I will keep researching my condition and I will give you updates when they’re warranted. God bless you all and I pray you all find the answers you’re looking for as well.

The Power of Cinnamon, Milk Thistle and Cloves for Fighting Parasites

This is from my blog over at Substack.com. It’s called Don’t Speak Health News. Here you go!

What you see in the pictures above is a product I’ve been using for a decade called Cinnergy. It’s what I’ve been using to keep my type 2 diabetes in remission along with a no refined sugar no ultra processed foods diet. It’s also great for cleansing the liver daily. What I didn’t know about was it’s ability to fight parasites and how it’s being recommended for people who are detoxing/cleansing from parasites!

Cinnamon is believed to have antimicrobial and antiparasitic effects. It has been used in traditional remedies for millennia, such as decoctions, to help combat intestinal worms and other parasites! It contains compounds like eugenol and cinnamaldehyde that have antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiparasitic effects! Studies suggest that cinnamon can:

  • Reduce the parasite load. Cinnamon extracts have been shown to significantly reduce fecal cysts (gross) and intestinal trophozoites in infections like Giardia lamblia. It damages parasites by causing structural injuries, leading to their disintegration and elimination.
  • Inhibit Larvae Movement. Cinnamon essential oil can stop parasite larvae from migrating within the body and damage their digestive systems, ultimately leading to their deaths.
  • Support Gut Healing. Cinnamon promotes intestinal healing by reducing inflammation and aiding in the repair of mucosal damage caused by parasites.

There was a time period of about a year where I could not take my Cinnergy supplement because it would make my gastritis (excessive belching) go crazy! Now I know why Cinnergy had that effect, it was killing off the parasites and I was probably driving them crazy to boot! As the parasites die off or reproduce they excrete toxins into our bodies and make us sick. I had to make modifications to my diet in order to even eat back then.

Milk Thistle is often used for parasite cleansing primarily due to its liver supporting properties. The active compound in milk thistle, silymarin, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective (the ability of a substance to protect the liver) effects, which helps the liver detoxify and generate cells. Since the liver plays a key role in filtering toxins and processing waste, including those released in a parasite cleanse, milk thistle can support this process.

Additionally milk thistle may aid in removing some parasites when combined with other herbs like Oregano grape root, Cinnamon and others including black walnut, wormwood and cloves (more on cloves in a minute). Its immune boosting properties may also help the body combat infections more effectively. However its direct antiparasitic effects are less well documented than it’s liver benefits. That’s one reason I’ve been taking it all of these years, to protect my liver. Now I know it’s also helping to get rid of my parasites! The liver cleansing effect is important to help get rid of the parasites AND to help cleanse the liver from any drugs you’re taking like Ivermectin or FenBen.

Now for the cloves, a deadly enemy for parasites and their eggs!

Cloves play a significant role in parasite cleansing due to their strong antiparasitic properties, primarily attributed to the compound eugenol. Here’s how it works.

  • Disruption of Parasite Metabolism. Eugenol interferes with the energy metabolism of parasites by inhibiting key enzymes, this leads to reduced ATP production, ultimately killing the parasites.
  • Egg Destruction. This is the primary reason I’ve been using it for, to kill off the eggs and prevent them from hatching. That breaks the life cycle of parasites and reduces reinfection risks.
  • Damage to parasite structure. Clove extracts can damage the cutical and outer layers of worms, leading to their death. This corrosive effect is particularly effective against nematodes like Haemonchus contortus.
  • Broad Antimicrobial Action. In addition to targeting parasites, cloves also combat bacterial and fungal infections that may accompany parasitic infestations, further supporting gut health.

I don’t make a dime off of any sales as he doesn’t have an affiliate program so I’m not trying to make a buck, just trying to help anyone I can with it. Remember everyone is different so it may not have the same effects on you.

As for me and my gut/parasite issues they are 90% better overall since my latest cleanse. I will continue with my Cinnergy and cloves and keep working at it. Blessings to you all!

Nature’s Remedy for Severe Gut Problems

My journey back to spiritual and physical health

Let me start by saying that Jesus Christ supernaturally healed my enzyme production and that is why I can digest and absorb food again. Without His healing of my enzyme production I wouldn’t be having the success I’m enjoying today.

As many of you know I’ve been fighting a gastroparesis issue for the better part of 3 years and there hasn’t been much relief until now.

For those who aren’t familiar with gastroparesis it causes extreme bloating and gas/belching. If I didn’t belch it out it would FORCE itself out via dry heaves so I didn’t have much choice but to belch and it would go on for hours on end.

It caused a ton of problems including nutrient absorption (good news was I lost some extra lbs.), but urination and bowel movements were impossible until I had gotten rid of enough gas which means I got little sleep etc. Nothing I did seemed to work for very long and that included going no carbs and full protein but the bottom line was I wasn’t digesting my food well due to a gut bacteria imbalance and type 2 diabetes complications including nerve damage. This caused SIBO infections and more belching which led to antibiotics, whose relief proved to be temporary at best.

They also put me on a drug called metoclopramide, which is essentially an anti-vomiting drug that is used to treat issues like my belching. It’s designed to help with emptying the stomach which was one of the major issues I have/had. It helped me a ton but I had to double the dose and that can cause other issues. The problem with this drug is that it can cause seizures including a grand mal seizure which I didn’t want so I had to find the natural alternative. That search would lead me to what I feel is my cure.

Fast forward to this last week when I got some much needed answers after another session of prayer. The Most High directed me to GINGER as natures’ alternative to that anti vomiting drug. Then He directed me to Manuka honey as it has many more antimicrobials inside of it which help to kill off the bad bacteria or fungus and promote healthy bacterial growth! That led me to the recipe that I started using this week and WOW what a difference it has made in my life! Here is that recipe, adjust it for your own needs and taste.

I use 8oz hot water, 1 TBSP Honey, 1 TSP cinnamon, 1 TSP ginger, and squeeze 1 slice of lemon into it. I make this drink first thing in the morning in order to set my guts up for success and so far it’s working great! I’m not taking ANY DRUGS ANYMORE!!! ALL PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE MOST HIGH!

I hardly belch anymore and when I do I always know what’s causing it, like my probiotics clashing with some bad bacteria (or too much coffee lol). The bottom line is that I’m 99% better than I was even a month ago when it was at its worst. I can sleep through the night now without having to sit in the bathroom at 2am, I can eat and ABSORB my food now without fear of a massive belching session an hour later, no matter what I ate.

This was a hard life lesson in maintaining or NOT maintaining your physical health. I neglected my health by eating fast food and processed foods for convenience like the rest of the modern world in the West and I paid a very high price for doing it. I blame no one but myself for the condition I found myself in and God used it to discipline me as well. Self control is a fruit of the spirit and I had NONE for a long time when it came to food (and coffee lol).

There was definitely a spiritual component to this as well and that was about self control and having discipline. In 2 Corinthians 12, 7-10, Paul talks about the “thorn in the flesh” given by a messenger of Satan lest Paul be exalted above measure (given too much credit) and when He asked Jesus to remove it Jesus’ reply was “my grace is sufficient for you”, and that was the same answer He gave me when I BEGGED Him to remove the sickness from me. That’s when Paul learned the lesson in verse 9.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. AMEN! Until I learned this lesson myself I would get no relief! Praise God I learned it!!! I’m now on my way to a full recovery in Jesus’ Holy name!

One other lesson I had to relearn was to BELIEVE YOU RECEIVE when you pray!!! No, I’m not talking about the prosperity Gospel or the “name it and claim it” movement, but rather solid believing FAITH. It’s a knowing deep down that you will receive what you asked for because it’s within God’s will for your life. YES He wants you to be well and to bless you but He may be trying to teach you something life changing through your suffering as well.

I know one thing’s very certain, my walk with the Lord is stronger and closer than it ever has been and it’s growing by leaps and bounds every day! This sickness forced me to rely on the Most High and His grace, strength and power, not my own and definitely not big pharma. I will admit that big pharma’s pills did force me to do some research to get my final remedy, so that was a plus.

That’s it for now. I pray that you found this useful and that it will help someone solve their own issues and deal with whatever problems life has thrown your way. Trust first in God, it all begins and ends there! Blessings to you all!

PS for more information on Manuka honey here is a link to a video I found on YouTube that shows you 10 benefits of this honey! Yes it’s expensive and it cost me almost everything I had left in my account but it has been so worth it! Ask God to provide and He will! https://www.youtube.com/live/oc14M7kjj0M?si=s_3FPMoyrooIsAUp
