I recently went to a Naturopath for adrenal help. He's skilled in ayurvedic medicine and TCM along with naturopathic. Anyway, he basically feels that the gut should be treated first followed by everything else. The problem is, he put me on a ton of supplements and a lot to kill the gut bacteria and then wanted me on NO carbs.
After about 3 days, I became really sick. I was put on this stuff called NEEM for the gut. It basically gets through the biofilms and kills yeast, parasites, etc. I started to itch really bad on it and had to stop it. But, I was also put on Butterbur and a few other things like Ashwangda.
I find that the more I take, the sicker I get. I can't handle too many supplements or meds. Going off carbs was too much for me and I started to become weak. Really weak. I am allergic to milk and my options for food are limited. Eating nuts, protein and just veggies was making me feel sick and I didn't want to see another nut again. I can't have yogurt due to the milk allergy and goat's milk, I am also allergic to.
I had to call him and tell him, I can't do this. I have to have carbs, I am weak and also that the supplements are just too much.
He feels that because of my liver, I am unable to handle things. So, now he is sending me milk thistle, which I already have, but he wants me on his. This is expensive and I am exhausted and confused.
I am really not sure what to do. I am tired, sleepless, I have horrible allergies, I have lost a ton of weight. I feel awful. The trees are budding and my nose is running like crazy.
I need to tell him, I can only do one thing at a time and really not push it. It's too much on my body.
I feel like no one gets this. You walk out with a gazillion supplements and you become sick. My body is not keen on being pushed. They make it sound so easy. "Treat the gut, the other things will fall into place. Here, here's a ton of supplements....take 10 pills in the AM."
Now, I am so sick.
I can handle TCM really well. Herbs, but that's about it.
For 25 years, I have been on a quest to get better. Not well, but better, but the more I try....and the more time goes on that I have been ill, the more I am unable to tolerate "stuff."
I used to take about 25 vitamins a day. Now, I can't do that. My body has gotten worse over the years.
Does anyone have any advice? I am so frustrated.
