Treatment for Diverticulosis

July 27th, 2009

Modern medical system in most cases prescribes surgery to remove the diverticula. But the surgical removal of old diverticula does not prevent the formation of new ones. The best way to treat the disease is through natural methods. The treatment should aim at improving digestion, decreasing gas information, building stronger intestinal walls to resist the formation of diverticula and relieving stress to avoid tension building up in the body. Also, diet plays an important role in this treatment.  The emphasis should be on high roughage diet consisting of seeds, nuts and whole grains, vegetables and fruits. Seeds may be consumed in the sprouted form. Cooked cereals like millet, brown rice and oats are beneficial. Sour milk like yogurt and buttermilk, potatoes and flax seeds should be taken daily in adequate quantities.

The patient should take small and frequent meals. He should avoid refined and processed foods, tea, coffee, condiments, pickles and animal foods. If the disease is accompanied by constipation, all measures should be adopted for its eradication through natural methods. Purgatives should not be used. If constipation occurs despite the patient adhering to the diet of natural foods, warm water and enema should be used to cleanse the bowels. If the patient is overweight, he should take a diet of natural foods aimed at reducing the weight. Also, the use of bran is considered highly beneficial in the treatment of diverticulosis or diverticulitis. Also, certain vegetable juices have been found beneficial in the treatment of diverticulosis. These include juices extracted from carrot, beet and green vegetables. The best fruit juices are those extracted from papaya, apple, pineapple and lemon.

Diverticulosis and its Symptoms

July 27th, 2009

Diverticulosis is a condition of the colon, in which the muscular wall gives way in places and allows the mucous membrane lining the large intestine to form pouches. These pouches are known as a diverticula, a name which comes from the word “diverted”. They become lodging places for decaying particles of food or faecal matter. The disease by itself is of no consequence. Sometimes, however, dicerticula become inflammed, as they do not have muscles in their walls and cannot empty themselves. This condition is known as diverticulitis. This disease is usually established by means of X-Rays. It usually occurs in the middle and later years. The main symptoms of diverticulosis are pain in the left lower side of the abdomen, diarrhoea or constipation or alternation of the two and bleeding. Attacks may recur over a long time.

Severe complications may arise from the tendency of obstructed diverticula to perforate and thus give rise to peri-colic abcess, peritonitis or fistula to bladder, vagina or other parts of the guts. Inflammatory masses may form and may result in obstructive symptoms which closely resemble carcinoma of the colon. Such complications may require surgical treatment. People suffering from diverticulosis frequently develop anemia. The bacteria in the diverticula, caused by the stagnant food and faecal matter, appear to grab all the B Vitamin and folic acid from the food and prevent it from reaching the blood. This condition is corrected when these putrefactive bacteria are destroyed by a generous intake of yogurt oracidophilus milk, provided the diet contains folic acid. The patient may also develop other intestinal and general problems due to the increase if toxins generated by this condition.

Diet in Disease

July 23rd, 2009

During any disease, a diet is very essential. A breakfast may consist of fresh fruits, lunch may comprise raw vegetables with acid and sub acid fruits and for dinner, raw and cooked vegetables or light starchy vegetables like beet, carrot, cauliflower, egg-plant and squashes may be taken. Sweet fruits may be added to this diet after seven days.

Foods are classified as acid-producing or alkaline-producing depending on their reaction on the urine. Calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium present in foods contribute to the alkaline effect while sulphur, phosphorous and chlorine contribute to the acidic effect. Depending on the pre-dominating constituents in a particular food, it is classified as acid-forming or alkaline-forming.

The effect of foodstuffs upon the alkalinity of the blood depends upon their residues which they leave behind after undergoing oxidation in the body. It is an error to presume that because a food tastes acid, it has an acidic reaction in the blood. For instance, fruits and vegetables have organic acids in combination with the soda and potash in the form of acid salts. When the acids are burnt or utilised in the body, the alkaline soda or potash is left behind. Hence the effect of the natural fruit acids is to increase the alkalinity of the blood rather than reducing it.

Treatment through colours

July 12th, 2009

A correct and balanced diet is essential during the treatment of diseases through chromotherapy or colors. The patients should take food items with analogous coloring. The various colors contained in different food items are -

Red : Beets, raddish, red cabbage, tomatoes, watercress, most red-skinned fruits, red berries and water melon.

Orange : Orange-skinned vegetables and fruits such as carrot, orange, apricot, mango, peach and papaya.

Violet : Egg plant, berries, black carrot and purple grapes.

Yellow : Lime and lemon, sweet lime, grapes, pumpkin, melon, banana, mango, yellow apple and guava.

Purple : Foods having both blue and violet coloring.

Green : Most of the green vegetables and fruits such as gourds, spinach, plantain, lettuce, pea, green mango, gooseberry, pears, beans, etc.

Blue : Blue plum, blue beans, blue grapes, etc.

There are some contradictions to color treatment which should be borne in mind while adopting this mode of cure. For instance, the red colour would be injurious in a naturally inflammatory condition of the system, and in case of people with feverish and excitable temperament, if the red light is employed for too long and frequently, then it may produce dangerous fevers. The danger can be obviated by using the red light for a few minutes at a time or by placing a wet bandage over the head. Similarly, yellow should not be used when the nerves are very active or irritable. Yellow or orange reddish tones may prove injurious in fevers, acute inflammations, delirium, diarrhoea, neuralgia, palpitation of the heart and any condition of over excitement.
