My ayurveda experiment is over.
It was a partial success but also a failure in that - here I am.
They did seem to nail down the nature of the problem which was a type of air imbalance where the lower colon has too much air element and it exerts upward force on the entire rest of the digestive tract - so the working theory is that this could be the cause of my gall bladder /stones problem.
I bailed on Peat diet last tme because of too much animal products. I do like some, but too much is too much.
I just read a post here about getting the liver in order with more protein, choline and something else can't remember. I think what I need is stuff to keep the bile soluble and also to dissolve what's in there, I have the bile stimulant part down and usually try to avoid any bitters and too much fat unless I'm doing a flush.
So I have endless bloating in the intestines, gall stasis, worms every 6 months or so - passed some monsters this year. Too much body heat (probably liver heat) even though I'm borderline hypothyroid still though I can usually maintain proper body temp.
I went back to beets and soaked them in horseradish/vinegar paste ... gall bladder attack. Vinegar seems to worsen my gallbladder situation a lot.
still doing liver flushes, but something never seems to empty enough either from my liver or gallbladder.
Good things from ayurveda were to avoid beans, cook everything well done, and avoid certain fruits and vegetables which all help to manage the bloating problems but it would be nice to lick the problem.
Edit: I thought I would mention this since people here are interested in thyroid function...
This goes back many years when I started taking iodine and selenium. Both would give me some strong reactions if I took too much, iodine would make me feel wired and selenium felt sort of good at very low doses as if it was helping in the t3 conversion process but I could never take more than about 5-10mcg comfortably - maybe it felt like it was stressing my adrenals or something. Anyway I've gone on and off those supplements for years and years and it seems every time I go back to it after some healing has taken place I can take more and more comfortably. Last attempt I was able to take 200mcg selenium which is what 'normal' people are supposed to be able to handle and I took a f-load of lugol's with it. Probably brazil nuts are better to do slow and steady, I don't eat much seafood.
Also I made a lot of progress with my lower back, it looks like it is strongly correlated to intestinal problems and nightshades, so dealing with those I'm almost pain free even though the vertebrae likely are not healed yet.
