After Three Decades Suffering from Poor Digestion, One Year of Focused Effort Brings Breakthrough!

Mark Virkler's picture

Once you live through something, you can speak with more confidence concerning it. I have just successfully restored my intestines. Gluten, sugar, and low HCL in my stomach allowed for a bacterial overgrowth in my intestines, which then allowed for a candida overgrowth, which then caused a leaky gut, which then caused a re-occurring skin rash. All have been resolved now, without drugs. Praise God!

I have written about improving digestion and restoring a leaky gut. Since all disease begins in the gut, there is no way you can give too much attention to resolving your gut issues. I lived with poor digestion for 35 years, because I did not focus long enough on it to understand it and resolve it. Very unfortunate.

I have been astounded at how long it has taken me to understand digestion and fix it, along with the resulting overgrowth of intestinal bacteria, candida, leaky gut, and then a  resulting skin rash. It has taken a year of focused effort, but it obviously is worth it. So take a year if necessary, and wrestle with any gut issues you may have, and don't stop until they are resolved, naturally and without drugs, as drugs often create even more problems. 

A summary of the key things I do

To maintain proper intestinal flora I take 2-3 probiotics in the morning on an empty stomach.

To experience good digestion 

With a snack or meal, I consume the following. The amount is based on 1) how big the meal is and 2) how much liquid I am going to drink with the meal.

  • Digestive enzymes (1-3) 1/3 of their product line goes on sale every month, so get on their newsletter.
  • HCL (1-4) 1 with a snack, 2 with a small meal, 4 with a large meal (If you take too many you will feel a burning in your stomach. In that case gulp down a full glass of water to dilute your stomach acid, and then don't take that many HCL again at a time. Never take HCL on an empty stomach.
  • Lactaid (1-2 any time we consume dairy) Available in your grocery store.
  • Here is a full blog I have written on enzymes.

To maintain a healthy colon

Since I continue to consume a bit of bread and sugar, and these both feed the issues, my counter-attack is to continue to take two tablespoons of aloe mixed with two tablespoons of colloidal silver once a day. Colloidal silver kills bacteria, and aloe carries the colloidal silver all the way to the colon so it is effective there, plus aloe heals the colon wall.

I also take two SF722 capsules once or twice a day (kills fungus and bacteria in the gut), and this Candida Cleanse daily (kills Candida). (Incidentally, the SF722 can be applied topically on a rash being caused by a fungus or bacteria within, as can Tea Tree Oil or coconut oil, which in this article is shown to fight yeast infections. Coconut oil can be taken by the spoonful internally or added to coffee and consumed. Explore coconut oil's amazing health benefits.)

Afternoon energy drink

At 3:00 PM when I am looking for a pick-me-up, I mix a scoop of each of the following into about 8 oz. of water:

And if you want to add other things, by all means, go ahead. We do Turmeric, Fulvic ionic minerals, B-12Cellyte

Anxiety and stress stored within my cells

This was healed by Clearing Cellular Memories - A Prayer Workshop For Healing Emotional Roots to Diseases, and it resulted in improved sleep and health.

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation ebook

Unlocking fresh revelation daily - by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know? eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used various methods for discovering truth such as: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so.

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
