Lago, if you're cooking those potatoes in one of those plastic roasting bags, you might wanna rethink that one. Cooking in plastic is a real good way to get a not-so-healthy dose of xenoestrogens in your food.
Just sayin' ...

Melizzard I don't cook them in the bag. I use the bag to mix,shake all t he ingredients up. I actually lay the slices down on a cookie sheet or foil. I have been using wax paper in the microwave for years instead of plastic wrap. I will edit the post.0

Hi Ladies. The Kangen water is akaline water. It is not meant to treat, cure ,or heal anything. If you have an opportunity to drink the water without anyone pressuring you to buy a machine please try it.

Caerus-Sunflowers The reason bananas are good is because of the potassium. Potatoes and apricots also have a lot but don't eat the skin of the potato because it's high in fiber.. Check to see what other foods are high in potassium. Stay away from high fiber foods when you are having the issue.
I have the other problem due to IBS.

Caerus--HERE is a link to the bowel management program from MD Anderson. And HERE is a link with more info from them. I'll have to read through it again, there is more info than I saw before. I was going to start the program using citrucel, but then things got better so I didn't. But, like I said, I'll look through it again and see how I can make things better.0

Thanks SusanK8 for the information.

Just had to chime in. I am a Japanese living in Japan. I can tell you that NOT everyone here drinks Kangen Water. Very few people do. Everything about Kangen Water is hypothesis, nothing has proven to be efficacious yet. In fact, the Japanese authority called JFTC issued a cease and desist order against a few manufacturers that were selling this type of water and the machines for misleading representations and deceptive advertising back in 2005. It may be good for your health but is certainly not worth a big money.

Thanks Timtam for telling us how it really is--over here they hypo Kangen water so much and they always quote "Japanese" studies--but who over here can read them?

Oh, so nice to see TimTam here! I've missed you, girl! And thanks for chiming in. If "alkaline water" doesn't treat, cure, or heal anything as mscal says, then WHY spend the money on it?

Caerus--oops! Apparently the links didn't work! Sorry! If you google md anderson bowel management and md anderson bowel program you should find helpful information! If you don't find it I'll try sending you the links again.0

I have to bring this up, because it's been suggested to me several times, and each time I cringe at the thought, but does anyone do high colonics? Aside from my western attitude towards potty talk, it makes sense to me, but I am squeamish at the thought. I take supplemints, fish oil, garlic oil, multi (w/o iron), biotin, probiotic, calcium/D3, and I'm on Tamoxifen. I need to exercise more, I used to lift weights (actually found my lump because of my determination to bench 125lb) and run, and swim...(hoping to do a tri sprint next year again) My body is just different now. It doesn't respond the same, and it's not just since the dx...it started three years ago with an awful job. I guess it could be my age too, 38, but everything is just different. I really think cancer is as much about an imbalance as anything, but I'm a pretty moderate person and high colonics just seem extreme...anyone out there give them a yea or nay?

After growing up with my grandmother whose solution to any and all illnesses was an enema, I will never have another even if I really need to.

I may be full of poo but not in the way a high colonic will take care of.
Seriously, one of my body's favorite ways of dealing with stress is diarhea so a high colonic just seems redundant

Growing up castor oil was the thing. Guess they thought a good poo would fix anything.

I had a friend who did colonics for a while back in the 80s. The theory is that our bowels are just full of parasites and their eggs. That everything we eat and digest is infected with parasites, therefore we are, too. If we are, it's not the type of parasites that are seen on routine stool samples/lab analyses.
No one's sticking a big hose up me and then washing out my gut. Some people swear by them--feeling less bloated and "toxic". I'll "cleanse" in other ways.

Barbara too funny even if I have been battling the big C since surgery 2 weeks ago. (I prefer a probiotic/stool softener myself) 0 -
I'm not sure where to place this so here we go. Saw my BS today, he told me to go home and read this article:

Hey, I just had a colonoscopy yesterday and it sounds like the prep is just like a high colonic. I can't say that I lost weight or feel particularly cleansed but the drugs they give during the procedure are fabulous.

I had my colonoscopy April 27th. Anyone who would voluntarily drink that toxic waste is a little nuts IMO.
Why do they give you a print outs of your colon? Do they think this something I should share with my friends on facebook?BTW I don't have to go back for 10 years! Maybe they will develop better tasting toxic waste by then.

lago DH had one 12 years ago and then had another one this last year. He said the prep was vastly improved if that gives you any hope. The first one was so bad that is why it took twelve years for him to do another one. He has family history of colon cancer and is suppose to get one every 5 years.

I finished radiation today and am starting mistletoe injections on Monday. I am also doing Low-dose neltrexone and a bunch of supplements. I'll let you know how the mistletoe goes!

If I get this right, the high colonic people want to kill off whatever lives in the gut and the probiotic people want to reestablish it. . . . riiiiiiggggghhhhhtttttttttttttt.
I had my first colonoscopy last year. I did not lose ten pounds. . . .
