Can Candida be resolved?
December 29th, 2009 | 
Author: Candida can be resolved using a multi-pronged approach. Cleansing both the colon and the liver is a starting point. Add to this probiotics, high potency multi-vitamins and diet changes. Once the bad bacteria is removed and replaced with good bacteria the body begins to heal itself. This along is not enough to keep the Candida from returning. Dietary changes must be made so as not to feed the bad bacteria, which would allow the return of the Candida. Simple sugars, and for some people gluten products should be limited or avoided.

Can people with hepatitis C still use a liver cleanse?
Yes! People with Hepatitis should do a combination of both colon/liver cleansing. As the liver is our bodies filter for fats, waste, and toxins, if the liver is not functioning properly neither is any other part of our bodies. Cleansing this vital organ helps to improve overall health in people with Hepatitis. Another helpful product from Puristat is the Advanced Supplementation, it is a high potency multivitamin and mineral supplement which aids the body in receiving nutrients it may not be getting from foods. One of the things that people with Hepatitis have issues with is proper digestion of foods and fluids. This can lead to malabsorption syndrome. The Advanced Supplementation helps to combat the malabsorption and feeds the body at a cellular level. This cellular feeding in turn helps the body be able to heal itself.

Can gluten intolerance increase with age?
Lactose and gluten intolerance can increase with age. As we age, our digestive enzymes may begin to decline which can lead to intolerance of gluten products. We may also experience environmental issues which can cause the intolerance, such as parasites, digestive diseases and disorders.
Colon cleansing and digestive enzyme supplements along with switching to a gluten free diet may help. Visit www.puristat.com for more information.
Is too much vitamin C harmful?
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that supports normal growth and development and helps your body absorb iron. Since our bodies do not produce or store vitamin C it is important to include foods which contain vitamin C in our diets.
Typically, a glass of orange juice, cup of strawberries, a medium orange or a serving of broccoli will provide enough vitamin C for the day. Any extra vitamin C will be flushed from the body in the urine. It is still possible to have too much of a good thing. Too much vitamin C from your diet is unlikely to harm you. However; too much vitamin C from megadosing on supplements can cause nausea, kidney stones, diarrhea, or gastritis.
How much is a megadose? 25 grams or 25,000 milligrams of vitamin C is considered a megadose.
Does taking laxatives cause liver problems?
While occasional use of laxatives can help to regular the digestive functions of the colon, habitual use should be avoided. Laxatives can be habit forming, and because they are a chemical, they can cause the liver to become sluggish, and build up a resistance to the laxatives themselves. An on again off again approach with dietary modifications is the best practice. Regular colon cleansing/liver cleansing can help with bowel elimination and regularity.
I don’t have a gallbladder-should I still cleanse my liver?
Often I am asked should I still cleanse my liver if I don’t have a gallbladder. The thought that without a gallbladder there would no longer be a possibility of stones in the liver is incorrect. You can still have stones in the liver or in the common bile duct. It is also possible for the liver to accumulate toxins which should be cleansed.
Puristat’s combination colon and liver cleanse along with digestive enzymes is the best choice for a healthy digestive system.

I have diverticular disease, what changes can I make to avoid further attacks?
Dietary factors can influence the frequency and severity of diverticular disease recurrences. A diet high in fiber can help as well as high vegetable and low meat intakes. There are some studies indicating that obesity may be associated with increased severity of diverticular disease. Physical activity, specifically jogging or running, has been reported to protect against symptomatic diverticular disease. For mild conditions many healthcare practitioners recommend adequate fluid intake and high fiber diets. Fiber supplements and a high potency multivitamin and mineral supplement can also prove beneficial to strengthen the digestive system and ease constipation.
Regular routine colon cleansing including probiotics to rebuild the good bacteria has proven to be of great benefit.

Can food allergies cause weight gain?
The American Diabetes Association explains that for some people certain foods can trigger an immune system response which can lead to insulin resistance, this in turn causes the body to store fat.
