My last visit to the doctor

There comes a time when we must not only be aware of our body, but also of what our body needs. They tell you to be ready when you go to the doctor to share and discuss all of your problems so that the doctor can better determine your problem and your needs. Well, I strive to do this successfully, but I’m still amazed at how often information falls on deaf ears.

I want to present a recent problem that I had where my doctor said to me, “Well, there is no treatment for this, and you just have to wait for it to happen.” I thought, “Wait for it to happen! That’s easy for you to say. You don’t have this problem. Was I heading to the lab for some tests? I thought, why do I even bother to come here and spend my time and money for this” .

Diagnostic murder

Later, she diagnosed my health problem, after I went for lab tests, and sent it to me through a nurse. It looked like he had something called “pityriasis rosea.” He also noticed that there was no treatment and that the ailment could last 1 to 2 months!

My first thought was, “No treatment?” If they could find the condition, why couldn’t they determine a treatment? This was a very silly foundation. How could I say there was no remedy before seeing my lab results? Impossible.

Thank goodness for Google. I looked for pityriasis rosea and simply reiterated my doctor’s diagnosis: “There is no known solution and you just have to wait.”

Second opinion

According to the American Dermatological Association, it is a rash that occurs most often in people between the ages of 10 and 35, but it can occur at any age. The cause is unknown. Pityriasis rosea is not a sign of any internal disease, nor is it caused by a fungus, bacteria, or allergy. Pityriasis rosea often does not require treatment and usually goes away on its own. However, treatment may include external or internal medications for itching.

The rash can last from several weeks to several months. It can occur at any time of the year, but pityriasis rosea is more common in the spring and fall, the creams do not help because it is not a fungus. My doctor gave me a prescription for the itch and told me to use calamine lotion.

Again, I thought, “There is no treatment and how can it last for several months.” The appearance was deplorable and the itching unbearable. I could hardly bear this another day.

Third opinion and Walla!

I continued to investigate and saw that this was associated with a similar problem known as rosacea. Very similar in appearance and guess what? There were recommended treatments. Vitamin B, enzymes and PROBIOTICS! Above all, probiotics. And it seems that there are some bad bacteria involved in the problem. My experience is that when there are bad bacteria, you just use probiotics as a solution.

Implementation of plan B

The recommended dose was 4 billion active organisms twice a day. I started right away with 2-500 million capsules in size and repeated every 4 hours 4 times a day. I increased it the next day to 4.5 billion organisms twice a day the next day. The first day there was little or no change. But, on the second day I started to notice that the itch was not as bad and the areas that were causing me pain did not hurt as much.

I thought about why I was having this problem now. I had recently completed a natural herbal colon cleanse and used probiotics throughout the process. So why was my body experiencing these kinds of problems after a herbal colon cleanse? I had felt great just a few days before the skin problem broke out. Get it? Exploded.

Who would have thought

I was not satisfied with my findings. I went back to Google and found an article that was a revelation. The article stated that the author, who was a reputable authority on colon cleansing and probiotics, receives questions about the need to take probiotics during and after a cleanse. And his answer is simple: Yes, definitely, we should take a probiotic during and after cleansing.

ALL RIGHT! I had never been told or read before that I had to continue probiotics after colon cleanse. During a colon cleanse, beneficial bacteria are removed as well as toxins. Cleaning pushes all the garbage out of our body, but it does not discriminate between toxins and good bacteria. As a result, there is a bacterial imbalance in our gastrointestinal tract, which can cause a host of other problems.

WE MUST replace the good bacteria

You see, there are billions and billions of different microorganisms and bacteria that exist together in our gut. This vast system of bacteria works together and is crucial to the overall health of our body. It indirectly and directly affects almost all the other organs of our body. If there is an imbalance, we feel sick, lazy and sleepy. We will not get all the nutrients we need, since our digestive system loses its effectiveness, so we suffer from malnutrition. The waste does not leave our system correctly, so we have skin problems.

To replace these friendly bacteria, most cleaners take a probiotic during the cleanse. The probiotic supplement is usually taken 2-3 times a day and an hour before or after the colon cleanser. Of course, the specific procedure differs depending on the probiotic, so be sure to read the guidelines listed. It is also recommended to continue taking probiotics after cleaning is complete.

Probiotics should be taken during colon cleansing, as well as other cleansing or detox regimens such as liver, kidneys, and especially candida. Everyone on a cleansing regimen always takes probiotics to replace beneficial bacteria and maintain a healthy colon by populating the intestines with beneficial bacteria.

The pot of gold

That was my problem. I did not continue on the probiotics after the colon cleanse. To make a long story short, I continued on the probiotics for a week or so and the issue was resolved. I spoke to my doctor about the findings and she dismissed it without comment. She simply said that the skin problem passed in 3-4 weeks as expected. I told him that the problem did not start to subside until I started the probiotic regimen.

Remember, the colon, the intestines, the gut, or whatever, it has a huge impact on our health. We cannot overlook the importance of a healthy colon, but now we know that we must replace the good bacteria or other problems may arise. There is a great marriage between colon cleansing and probiotics. The probiotics continue after the honeymoon is over to get the job done properly.
