While you pursue tests, work on improving the gut flora, try cutting out all sugar, alcohol, coffee, wheat, corn, soy, eat nonfat yogurt with live
cultures (no sugar or fake fruit added) no deep fried foods, choose healthy fruits and wash them with soap and water and eat whole nuts (not peanuts)
be sure you are getting enough protein 100g, potassium 4200g and a complete complex nutritional diet and watch your carbohydrates to keep them below
your BMI typically below 2000 calories and see if you feel better after 48 hours then stick with it. Parasites live off the sugars and the only good
way to kill them is to starve them over many months. Antibiotics are very problematic since they kill good stuff too. Blood tests will be helpful to
know but they won't cure you and few doctors will tell you how to cure yourself with improved diet. The corrections you may require demand you
carefully manage your diet and environment. Start by writing down your diet in a diary for example use myfitnesspal.com and/or a simple handwritten
journal.
It's also required that you wash your clothes, towels and bedding every day and drink about 8 glasses of water. Report back how you are doing...

why every day?
wouldn't it be more sanitary to avoid clothes all together? avoid towels and air dry. and avoid all beding by turning up heat and teaching oneself
to sleep standing up.

I'm not a doctor like some Nomads ;-) But no doctor will tell you this:
General tiredness and malaise accompanied by food craving is often a symptom of parasitic and bacterial proliferation due to general gut flora
dystopia associated with eating high carbs, drinking alcohol, eating modern wheat and refined sugars which is a surprisingly common diet but not often
discussed. Symtoms include tiredness, bloated feeling, hunger cravings, fungal bloom such as athletes foot and candida, acid indegestion, skin rashes,
itching at night etc...
A good approach is to drink lots of water, wash bedding, clothing and towels daily or at least change laundry daily. Keep clean clothes in sealed
plastic. Parasitic eggs and fungus can survive and be passed to your body for reinfection in the clothing etc... and can reinfect humans even while
you are doing well to fight it, that is why anti-parasitic medicines are almost never successful. The medicines can also create a weakened intestinal
environment where bad bacteria and parasites can reflourish after a brief die-off. Increase anti-oxidents such as garlic, tumeric, black walnuts with
husks and raw coconut. Eat non-fat yogurt live acidolpholous cultures if possible but no added sugars.
Many people in Baja don't use hot water often enough to wash clothing and bathe or fail to keep a clean environment since that's hard to do in Baja. A
hot shower is excellent.
Wheat (as we discussed recenty here) was modified many years ago and brought to Mexico, this wheat has caused health problems for many people today.
The wheat creates a dystopia of flora in the gut eith increased yeast and bacterial imbalance where unwlecome bacteria bloom and create an enviornment
where parasites who live on glucose can also flourish. The parasites and intestinal dystopia cause people to feel weak, bloated and also feel cravings
for wheat and sugars. Mant studies show parasites actually cause brain/behavioral changes. Cutting the wheat and sugar (and alcohol, rice, corn, soy,
dairy and coffee) out entirely as much as possible will quickly return the body to a better balance and cause the bacteria to change, yeast to reduce
and parasites will quickly find an unwelcome environment. Soon energy will return, skin improves, fungal infections reduce and acid indegestion and
ulcers will reduce to nearly non-existent. Many problems will go away with a strict diet of no wheat, sugars, corn, soy, rice and no alcohol (sugar)
and no coffee which is acidic. Use clotrimazole or other over the counter antifungal creams, powder or spray to reduce external skin problems like
athletes foot.
Many people report feeling better almost immediately. Once you improve over a period of months you can reintrodice some items gradually but choose
carefully.
Make a list of good things to eat and start each day with a large healthy meal of good food. Track your nutrition with a diet diary and be honest with
yourself about what you are eating. Take time to shop for healthy foods.
If you are in your 60's or 70's and you haven't fasted at least once, you are an excellent candidate to do so to cleanse, detox and reduce an
envornment for bacteria and parasites. Everyone should try to reduce their diet once every six months to cleanse plus use an anti-oxident supplement
such as psyillium husk and diatomaceous earth to remove toxins and parasitic and bacterial die-off.

hogwash! but amusing...
the most amusing piece was this hilarious tidbit: "every six months to cleanse plus use an anti-oxident supplement such as psyillium husk and
diatomaceous earth to remove toxins and parasitic and bacterial die-off."

Thank you for bringing attention to a serious health issue that many westerners are unaware. General health is a serious issue for many and doctors
are often only capable of prescribing commercial medicine as opposed to detoxification and diet information so your western doctor won't tell you what
you need to know to live healthy, they only address illness with presecription medicine and they often fail at that.
Diatomaceous earth is used in many dry foods you eat daily such as flour, it is harmless to humans but kills parasites instantly. It is required to
store dry foods and reduce parasitic infestation in rice, flour, corn etc... You are eating diatomaceous earth in some quantity and it is helping you
from parasitic infestation already. In fact, diatomaceous earth is among the only proven ways to kill parasites from infesting food supplies, it is
fed to animals as well, put in common dry stored foods and all kinds of stored foods we consume.
The real issue is that people are unaware that they don't need ivermectin or powerful medicine to kill parasites they need diatomaceous earth which is
readily available. Seniors who are unaware of the requirement for detox who have gone 70 years with no effort to detox are certainly at high risk and
most have parasitic infestation that harms them and they are putting the other people and children they come into contact with at risk and those who
fail to address the issue are certainly sufffering from inflamation, pain and discomfornt uneccessarily.
There are other options, but the idea is the same, you need to remove build-up of metals and bacterial waste and parasites once in a while and
powerfeul medicines are not the solution. I think this is failrly well known now. Most importantly cut out extra sugar, high fructose corn syrup,
sodas and diet drinks and drink clean water. Good luck

Spoken like a true expert. Now how does that relate to hydrology, professor? Me thinks that when you get out of your field of supposed expertise,
you might want to be careful calling someone a quack.

It looks like you're off by 3 orders of magnitude - recommended daily intake of protein is close to 100g. Athletes need over 100g.

Yep. I'm not an expert by any means, just a participant, yes protein average required per day for about 180lbs moderate activity is about 100grams
double for highly active people. But you should maintain a diet diary and check for your body weight, activity and check against blood test and
BMI/BMR charts the recommended varies for each person based on body size/activity.
The main point in response to the original poster is that a regular detox is required for general health.

Regular detox, or at least gut cleaning is a must. With something natural. Diuretic herbal mixes. Fennel tea once every few weeks - DH/DW will hate
when you do it, alright, give him/her a cup too, or open the window

As Mula says, Dr. Buenaventua Diaz at Fidepaz Hospital is an excellent choice. His specialty is internal medicine, and it sounds like the right match
for your symptoms. Cleansing, diet, etc. is no substitute for a diagnosis by an MD, and it sounds like you need to see one. Hope it goes well for
you.

Your white blood cell count is normal, platelets are a little on the low side though not dangerously low, just get the tests done in a lab and they
will give you the reference range, only if the results are outside the reference range you need to see a doctor...more important what is your fasting
blood glucose? | Quote: | Originally posted by goodhealthyoga

If a person doesn't feel well and for whatever reason they suspect they may have liver or spleen problems and possibly hepatitis they should go to a
doctor, not a lab.
Dr. buenaventura Lopez would be the person to see, and he will determine what tests are needed. If it turns out that nothing is wrong, the cost of
the appointment will not have been wasted, as he will be an established patient of an excellent doctor for future concerns.

I don't remember mentioning laxatives or diarrhea, though mild laxatives like prune juice or pears are a good thing, after certain age. Does it make
you feel cleaner? It's a funny question. Dirty soapy water on the floor doesn't make you "feel" cleaner, but your place becomes cleaner afterwards.
Though about gas brewing I'm not sure myself - can be good to some people; but laxatives and diuretics is a different thing.
We are deviating here; the OP might have some problem beyond simple "maintenance" and needs a doctor's advice.
