Diverticulitis is a disease that occurs when small pouches in the colon that bulge outward become infected or inflamed. These pouches are called diverticula, and the condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis.

 

Diverticular disease is common in developed countries where highly refined low-fibre diets are common. The disease is rare in countries of Asia and Africa, where people eat high-fiber vegetable diets.

 

Most people with diverticulosis never have any symptoms or discomfort. Mild cramps, bloating, constipation, tenderness around the left side of the lower abdomen, fever, nausea, vomiting and chills may occur.

 

Diverticulitis can lead infections, perforations or tears, blockages, or bleeding. These complications require treatment and you should see your doctor.

 

We particularly recommend the addition of Plant Sterols and Sterolins to the diet.

 

A good nutritional programme is essential - please see our Dietary Guidelines page.  With the exception of Digestive Enzymes, and Wild Yam all of the natural remedies we recommend for the digestion are contained within The Core Regime - a proven nutritional programme that improves health naturally. By addressing overall health in a holistic manner.

 

Primebiotic contains the highest quality, nutrient dense, green superfoods, pre-digested with 13 synergistic live bacteria. Multi strains of bacteria are far more potent than merely supplementing with one or two strains of bacteria. The potent mixture of superfoods, cereal grasses, micro-algae and kelp, provide many health benefits.  Cereal grasses are high in chlorophyll, vitamins, protein, minerals, and unique digestive enzymes. Micro-algae contain significant amounts of lipid, protein, chlorophyll, carotenoid, vitamins, minerals and unique pigments and Kelp provides all the nutrients from the ocean - nature's most complete nutrient 'store', exposing these wonderful ingredients to the probiotic process enhances their inherent ability to promote the growth and reproduction of friendly bacteria.

Daily consumption of powdered barley grass juice will help provide your body with essential nutrients that promote health and vitality. After taking powdered barley grass juice daily for as little as one week, many people report an increase in energy, better looking hair, skin, and nails, and increased regularity - all signs of good nutrition.  

 

If you eat cooked food Digestive Enzymes are definitely required to help maintain health. Digestive enzymes are present in raw food, but destroyed by cooking, in order to digest and absorb food, the body has to work hard.   Typically by the time we reach our 40's our internal glands and organs are beginning to fail to produce enough enzymes.   Simply put, this results in poor health or outright disease.    To help reverse these diseases and move towards optimum health we need to supplement with digestive enzymes.   The only other way to protect ourselves is to eat a 90 to 100% raw diet (see Dietary Guidelines)

 

Zell Oxygen can justly be described as an essential supplement.  A more balanced and fundamental approach than oxygen therapy, and in almost all cases an essential part of a regenerative programme.    A Superior Method of Oxygen Therapy that has many years of successful clinical use behind it.Due to its specific enzymes it compliments  a full spectrum of natural vitamins and minerals formulation such as Primebiotic

Wild Yam helps to maintain a balance of hormones in the body and is a perfect example of the old saying  'Let your food be your medicine' (Hippocrates, 'the father of medicine').

 

The Trobiand islanders, who attribute much of their radiant health to its regular consumption, regard it with reverence.   Yam has a long tradition as a natural remedy in herbal medicine.

However, its range of action far exceeds its traditional herbal role. Scientific research and clinical trials suggest that yam is a "super-food" - a food capable of improving the health and well-being of the majority of people and in some individuals proving tremendous in its health and elevating effects.
