Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that can be mainly caused by liver and gallbladder dysfunction or excessive alcohol consumption.

Difficulty eliminating bile can cause a blockage and raising the pressure in the pancreatic ducts.  Thus, usually lead to back up of pancreatic juice and predispose the pancreas to congestion and inflammation.

The pancreatic digestive enzymes, which trapped inside, start to digest their own pancreatic cells causing congestion, inflammation, pain, cysts and finally death of tissue of pancreas gland. It leads to pancreatic insufficiency with weight loss and producing bulky, greasy, foul-smelling stools with oil droplets as well.

Successful treatment of chronic pancreatitis is generally difficult, requires a team approach and practitioners of alternative medicine can be very good players in this process.

One of these approaches has been used for 250 years and has a great deal of scientificall research by European doctors. This is Karlovy Vary healing mineral water prepared from the Genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt

The properties of this water are completely unknown by the American public and medical professionals. Most North Americans tend to think of mineral water as something to drink either as a snack or with meals.  Yet, Karlovy Vary Healing Mineral Water is not just something to drink when thirsty.  This “magical” water contains healing properties for a variety of chronic disorders, as well as for chronic pancreatitis.

For hundreds of years, thousands Europeans with poor functioning of the pancreas or chronic pancreatitis have been drinking healing mineral water in the mineral spa. The Czech town of Karlovy Vary has been a famous international healing resort since the 1700s. Europeans call the local mineral water the “healing gift from the earth” or the “miracle mineral water.” In 1764, a special method was discovered that made it possible to distribute the water throughout the world. Czech doctors determined that the water manufactured from the genuine Karlovy Vary thermal spring salt had identical healing properties as the spring.

Positive benefits of the Karlovy Vary water are brought about by a beneficial complex composition of potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, sulfates, bicarbonates, chlorides, and a lot of trace minerals such as zinc, cobalt, selenium, lithium, copper and more.

According to European doctors, the most important action of the water is to enhance production and flow of bile and pancreatic juice, and decrease pressure inside the pancreas. Additionally, the Karlovy Vary Healing Mineral Water supplies the pancreas with minerals and bicarbonates, the main ingredients of the pancreatic juice.

The water promotes the manufacture and release of digestive hormones which regulate the digestive process in the whole gastrointestinal tract. The digestive hormones signal to the pancreas the amount of enzymes and bicarbonate that will be needed to digest protein, sugars, starches, and lipids arriving from the stomach into the duodenum.

According European doctors drinking Karlovy Vary water made from the Genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt alleviates pain, dyspepsia, malabsorption, and loss of fat with stool (steatorrhea).

Karlovy Vary water made from the Genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt is a safe and effective non-drug alternative remedy for chronic pancreatitis.

The injuries we pick up when playing sports fall into two main classes. In contact sports, there are serious risks of broken bones, torn tendons or ligaments, or strains. The other less physical sports leave it to the players to damage themselves by repeating the same muscle movements excessively. So tennis, badminton and squash players find repetitive strain injury to their elbows. Runners damage their knees. Focussing on the muscle injuries, strains and tears always have the same pattern. You damage the tissue in the muscles or ligaments, and this produces inflammation. Pain, swelling and loss of function follow.

For a professional athlete, being unable to turn out for the team or to play the next big tournament can have serious financial implications. Doctors who specialize in sports injuries are therefore employed by all the top teams in football, baseball and soccer. The plan is always to get the stars back on the field again as quickly as possible. Except this can be controversial because, sometimes, treatment is accelerated for a particular match rather than for the benefit of the player’s long-term career. Many top players have had their careers cut short by knee injuries when their teams owner’s were too ambitious for success.

The inflammation is actually the first stage in the healing process. It encourages the growth of scar tissue that binds the torn tissue back together again. Doctors interfere in this natural cycle. The problem is simple. The average cycle of inflammation lasts about five days but, sometimes, it can go on too long and this delays the resumption of training. Thus, the first response is rest during the one or two days following injury. Therapies vary. Pick from heat, cold, compression, elevation and, where money is no object, the use of expensive technology like hyperbaric chambers. Drugs can be used to dull the pain, reduce the inflammation and so speed up the healing process. If the player is finding the affected muscles tensing up, skelaxin is the standard response the relax the affected muscles.

It’s important to understand that painkillers, anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants do not treat the injury itself. Their only effect is to make you more comfortable during the initial phase of the healing process. Assuming surgery is not indicated for a more serious injury, say to the knee, your body will (slowly) heal itself. Except, of course, where money, status or pride is involved, people will spend the money and invest the time to improve on the natural process. Although everyone should always wait before resuming training, the passion and commitment that makes good players into the best also drives them to take shortcuts.

So, with the help of skelaxin during the resting phase, the player can slowly move on to stretching exercises and, initially, gentle exercise to regain mobility in the affected area. It’s best if no painkillers are used. Pain is a very useful warning you are trying too hard. There’s a serious risk you will aggravate the injury if you resume full training too early. Unless there’s a particular reason why you have to play, you should only move through the training regime at a safe pace. The risk of long-term damage and even longer layoffs is waiting to overtake you. In all this, you should be guided by your doctor and physical therapist. Assuming they are offering independent advice, they should guide you back to a long and successful playing career (whether as a professional or an amateur).

The pancreas is an elongated and tapered gland that lies across the back of the abdomen behind the stomach in the loop of the duodenum. It secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum and hormones, such as insulin, into the blood stream.

 Digestive enzymes are released from the cells of the pancreas into a network of ducts, including the pancreatic duct. The pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct at the ampulla of Vater also known as the hepatopancreatic ampulla. The sphincter of Oddi (the valve between the ampulla of Vater and duodenum) regulates the flow of bile and pancreatic juice through the ampulla into the duodenum, as well as preventing the entry of duodenal contents back into the ampulla of Vater.

 For example, the main reason for development of pancreatic diseases, especially pancreatitis is the problems of liver and gallbladder. Why? When there are the difficulties with secretion or elimination of the bile they can cause back up in the pancreatic duct and predispose to congestion and inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreatic digestive enzymes, which trapped inside, start to digest their own pancreatic cells causing congestion, inflammation, pain, cysts and finally death of the tissue of pancreas. Thus, pancreatitis can result from a failure of pancreatic secretions to drain properly.

The pancreas also secretes large amounts of sodium bicarbonate, which protects the duodenum by neutralizing the acid that comes from the stomach. The sodium bicarbonate also makes alkaline environment for proper function of digestive enzymes and normal function of the sphincter of Oddi.

This area is a central gate to many liver, gallbladder and pancreas problems. Many scientists believe that the Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD) is a culprit of the pancreas diseases and opposite, the proper function of this valve is a right way to healing congestion and inflammation of the pancreatic gland.

European doctors have been used healing mineral water preparing from the Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt for pancreas, liver and gallbladder diseases for more than 250 years. Despite its popularity among patients in Europe, this therapy is still largely unknown in the United States and Canada.

How it is work? This healing mineral water preparing from the genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt stimulates the stomach and small intestine (duodenum) for releasing the digestive hormones. These digestive hormones regulate the whole digestion, promote secretion and elimination of bile and the pancreatic juices, and control the proper function of the bile and the pancreatic ducts and valves. 

Beside that, Karlovy Vary Healing Mineral Water supplies the pancreas with minerals and bicarbonates, the main ingredients of the pancreatic juices.  Healing mineral water preparing from the genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt may help with two major problems -pancreatic pain and pancreatic insufficiency.

 Czech scientists found also that the water can promote secretion and increase the activity of pancreatic enzymes in healthy volunteers, people with chronic pancreatitis, and patients after gallbladder removal.

This healing mineral water contains almost all minerals and trace elements which are important for human body. Water prepared from the genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt heals inflammations and repairs malfunctions of the digestion. It promotes energy, immunity and helps with removing harmful substances.

 According to hundred-year-old experience of European doctors the most important thing is the drinking of this water under supervision knowledgeable health practitioner.

It can be useful to many different professionals: medical doctors, naturopathic physicians, herbalists, acupuncturists, nutritionists, chiropractors, and colon hydro therapists and for thousands people with the pancreas diseases.
