I am so amused at thread number 4 - this in-liven/fast tract is really growing around here. It also amuses me that Kelly has learned so much from me that she now goes around telling people it is only food, so if they were taking supplement X, would broccoli have a negative impact????

Personally, I think Jessalyn would really benefit as she has digestive issues, cannot break down food properly to get the nutrients to absorb them. Now this is going to sound gross, but in essence this is what in-liven is......

Let us say you ate a whole lot of lovely organic food that naturally contained probiotics (as it would have before we chemically killed everything with pesticides) - you eat them, they digest in your stomach and small intestine...then just as they are about to be absorbed into your body, we somehow got them from your intestine to Jessalyns.....so her body did no digestive work but here is all these lovely nutrients just waiting for absorbtion into her body...instead of you having done the digestive work, the probiotics in in-liven do this digestion.

Unless there are particular foods that Jessalyn shouldn't eat, I think she will benefit greatly from in-liven. Imagine taking a plate of organic food and concentrating it into a teaspoon....predigesting it so her body doesn’t have to do any work…

The only time I have not allowed someone to take in-liven is when they are on warfarin to thin the blood - these people are also not allowed to eat a lot of green leafy veggies and salad (ie food) and so no in-liven (full of green veggies and really a food, nit a supplement) but they can have fast tract.

As far as constipation goes, I have only had one client with that experience - but she ignored the slow and steady start I recommend and went onto a heaped teaspoon straight away - usually, I am happy to say, in-liven has the opposite effect - softer stools.

As for yourself - you can go straight onto in-liven - we all did when that was all we had - but now we have fast tract, we prefer to start with that as it is gentler - but either way, whatever suits you, will be good.

Hope this helps
