ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Our grandson has been suffering from Ulcerative Colitis.  His ulcers are in the lower part of his large intestine so it is very difficult to treat.  If the bleeding is heavy you can bleed to death.  The following suggestions are worth trying when all else fails:

The number one goal is to keep the colin quiet and calm the body down.  Digestive enzymes are important.  Drinking Gateraid at least twice a day helps restore the water and electrolytes that are lost.  It is important to coat the bowels by increasing food intake to 4 or 5 small meals a day along with a protein drink.  A Probiotic is helpful also.

Volarian can be purchased at a Nutrition Store.  You can put a drop in a little bit of water and take it before going to bed.  You can use two drops if one drop isn't enough.

Chamomile Tea helps to calm the body down and can be drank a few times during the day.

1 tsp. of Colloidal Silver can be taken before eating.

Do not eat foods containing:
     Gluten, seeds, roughage which means any food that has to be chewed a long time such as lettuce & celery.  You can put those foods into a blender.  Do not eat any legumes such as beans, peas, carrots without blending them as the body can't break down the shell.  Do not eat bananas, peanuts or raw eggs.  The intestines are susceptible to diseases you get from eating raw eggs.  Do not eat artificial foods, sharp cheddar cheese and hot seasonings.

Eat more foods that are soft such as mashed potatoes, real butter, cottage cheese, custards.

Meal Replacement Protein Drinks help give you the nutrients you need.  Drinking them slowly during the day helps keep the intestinal tract coated.

Please let me know of any other ideas of things that might work for you.  We are open for any suggestions!

7 Tips for Great Looking Facial Skin

In looking for beauty products that help my facial skin look young and vibrant, I have followed these 7 basic steps in how to properly care for my face.  I have used a numerous selection of different products, from expensive to not so expensive over the years and decided to share my basic ideas of my understanding about our facial skin.

1.  Cleansing our facial skin twice a day is so important.  I like a cleanser designed for the skin.
2.  Exfoliate 2 or 3 times a week using a facial scrub.   Tues. and Friday work well for me.
3.  Toning helps restore the skin's pH balance.  I use a toner after each cleanse twice a day.
4.  A renewal serum is good to use after the toner twice a day.
5.  Moisturizing twice a day with a day cream and a night cream help to keep your skin soft.
6.  Using a masque twice a week on opposite days as the facial scub.  The masque helps to tighten the skin           and get rid of extra dirt build up.  Sat. and Wed. work well for me.  
7.  Add Eye cream twice a day to keep the skin around the eyes from sagging. 

Hopefully, this will give you a guide to follow to keep your face looking young and healthy.
