Beat pancreatitis naturally

Beat pancreatitis naturally

by Dr. David Jockers

Pancreatitis is a severely painful chronic inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. It happens when the pancreatic enzymes become activated within the pancreas and begin digesting the cellular wall. Beat pancreatitis with natural healing strategies.

The most common signs and symptoms of pancreatitis include severe upper abdominal burning pain that often radiates into the back, nausea and vomiting that worsens with eating. During an acute attack, the individual goes into a state of dehydration and blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate spike. Chronic pancreatitis will often lead to low energy, nutritional deficiencies, diabetes and pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatitis and gall stones:

Pancreatitis is most often associated with excessive alcohol intake and gallstone formation. When gallstones get large, they obstruct the pancreatic duct from effectively emptying their enzymes into the small intestine. Pancreatitis is characterized by blood amylase or lipase levels four to six times higher than normal.

When the pancreas is hyperstimulated (alcohol or excessive eating) or when the bile-pancreatic duct is obstructed (gall stones), it increases pancreatic duct pressure and activates the enzyme trypsin. When intracellular protective mechanisms to prevent trypsinogen and trypsin activation are overwhelmed, it leads to activation within the pancreas, auto-digestion of the pancreatic gland and resulting inflammation. This can result in severe pain common to acute pancreatitis and chronic symptoms associated with chronic pancreatitis.

Steps to prevent pancreatitis:

The best action steps to prevent pancreatitis flare-ups are to follow an anti-inflammatory nutrition plan that is free of sugars, grains, high fruit consumption and processed foods of any kind. Meals should focus on good fat sources, antioxidants, clean proteins, fiber and fermented foods.

Be sure to avoid all common food allergens, alcohol and caffeine, as these can trigger further problems. If you have pancreatitis, gallstones or are at risk of getting these, be sure to make coconut oil your primary fatty acid. The small and medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are easy to metabolize and do not depend on high amounts of pancreatic enzymes or bile. Use other good fats in moderation to reduce stress on the gall bladder and pancreas.

Load up on superfoods:

Consume good fat sources such as coconut, avocados, raw chocolate, extra-virgin olive oil and sprouted seeds. Loads of phytonutrient-rich vegetables, lemons and limes and organic herbs should be used. This includes red onions, which are rich in anthocyanins and quercetin, and dark leafy greens such as kale, collards and spinach, which are loaded with lutein, zeaxanthin and chlorophyll.

Clean proteins include organic poultry, 100% grass-fed beef and wild-caught fish. Great sources of fiber include sprouted chia, flax, hemp and pumpkin seeds. The best fermented foods include sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar, kombucha, coconut kefir, fermented herbal botanicals and fermented raw dairy from 100% grass-fed cows.

A lifestyle build around superfoods and intermittent water fasting for periods of 16-24 hours daily is especially helpful. Intermittent fasting allows the digestive system to rest and heal. During the fast, drink as much clean water, green drinks, herbal teas and herbal antioxidant extracts. No calorie-rich foods or high-sugar fruits should be used during this period.

Steps to alleviate acute pancreatitis:

If you are suffering with acute pancreatitis, then you will want to do a water fast with antioxidant extracts. No solid food should be consumed during this period and absolutely no high-sugar, protein or fatty foods, as these all require specific pancreatic enzymes to digest.

The best herbal extracts for pancreatic function include turmeric, milk thistle, holy basil, ginger and dandelion. These herbs are best taken in a fermented form with organic acids, enzymes and probiotics for optimal absorption. Drinking lemon water and organic herbal teas is also highly recommended to soothe the pancreatic duct.

One could also juice lemon, ginger, dandelion, cucumber, celery and kale and make a powerful anti-inflammatory green drink. This should help soothe the pancreatic duct and allow for healthy secretion of pancreatic enzymes. The individual should rest and can do coffee enemas to help move out toxins and relax the pancreas and gall bladder.

How the coffee enema works

Author: Craig Stellpflug

Coffee enemas cause the liver to dump toxins, stimulate toxic bile flow out of the liver, promote glutathione production (via palmitic acid), dilate capillaries in the liver to nourish liver cells, promote pain reduction in the body, infuse lots of antioxidants, stimulate the liver to expel accumulated fats - all the while stimulating the detoxifying enzyme system in the liver and small intestines.

A coffee enema uses strained, cooled coffee water infused into the colon to stimulate the liver to release bile and dump accumulated fats and toxins into the colon for elimination. Coffee enemas are an integral part of most successful cancer battle plans and are known to also relieve rashes, depression, confusion, general nervous tension, allergy related symptoms, severe and chronic pain while helping the body fight disease and cancer.

Take good care of your liver and it will take good care of you.

Coffee enemas to the rescue

Max Gerson was the first to propose that coffee enemas had a positive effect on patients with cancer. Gerson taught that improved circulation and tissue integrity would prevent the spread of cancer and destroy malignant tumors. Although coffee enemas primarily facilitate excretion of toxic wastes from the liver, these enemas also flush out fat from the liver. Coffee enemas also promote the absorption of vitamin A, enabling patients to use copious amounts of vitamin A - especially when combined with juice fasting, which plays a vital role in immune function.

"Coffee enemas are not given for the function of the intestines but for the stimulation of the liver." ~ Max Gerson

In cachexia, use coffee enemas to help control cancer weight loss

Author: Craig Stellpflug

A new study out of Heidelberg University shows that the liver is the organ that controls severe weight loss and muscle wasting (called cachexia), due to cancer. "Doctors used to believe that cancer re-programs metabolism focusing all energy into tumor growth," says Prof. Dr. Stephan Herzig, of the German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg University. The latest research shows that cancer doesn't cause deadly cachexia, but rather plays a role in low lipid levels due to the liver releasing insufficient amounts of Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), which facilitates the transport of fat in the bloodstream.

"Our results prove, for the first time, that dramatic loss of body mass may be controlled by the liver," says Stephan Herzig.

Cachexia often presents with an inflamed fatty liver and affects about 70 percent of cancer patients. Cachexia is characterized by dramatic loss of body weight regardless of caloric food intake and is the most pronounced in patients suffering digestive tract and lung cancers. Victims can lose up to 80 percent of body fat and skeletal muscle with consequent muscle loss producing profound weakness, immobility and eventual death in patients. About 20 percent of all cancer deaths are a direct consequence of cachexia.
