Swollen Feet

[Guest guest]

Hi Peggi,

I bought last week the new book from Dr. Hulda " The cure for all

Advanced

Cancers " .

On the backside of her book Dr. Hulda claims the cure of 97% ( in words

ninetyseven) of all advanced cancers with her therapie.

If that is true, the cancer-problem should be solved. Why people still have to

suffer?

Maybe anybody in this group has more experience with Dr. s therapie and

can help you with informations.

God bless you

Hi Peggie,

Likely that the waste, and toxins that are being produced are not leaving the body efficiently through the kidneys, and thusly building up in the lower extremities. Find ways to support all organs of elimination, the lungs, kidneys, colon, and skin.

1. If you can find a practitioner of homeopathy, and get the UNDA brand of juniper communis, that would help immensely, or email me for a referral if you don't have anybody local.

2. Also, use juniper berry extracts to assist the kidneys. I use www.cedarbear.com for my herbal liquid extracts because of their unique extraction methods.

3. I use Umeken Plum Balls by http://www.mountainark.com/public_html/catalog/ume.html, to alkalize (neutralize acids) the blood quickly, and to support the kidneys. This is an excellent tonic for the kidneys.

4. DNR (http://www.dnrinc.com) makes a homeopathic product called KBL-514EX that works very well. It's designed for the kidney, liver and bladder.

4. Personally, I use Rose Tea, by Sulin to keep my kidneys strong. This has been the cheapest and easiest way to strength the kidneys, as teas are the most effective when dealing with the kidneys.

I've used all of the above, because each of my clients have differing philosophies and concerns. Whatever your support is, continue with it as you go through the cleansing process. Build up the kidneys. Ask any oncologist, and they will tell you that most people don't die of the cancer, they die of organ failure, like the kidneys, liver or lungs. Surprise! Those are the organs that can't deal with the waste that cancer creates in the body.

Prayers for your husband.

If you'd like, I'll send you a box of Rose Tea, free of charge, so he can get some immediate relief.

Be well,

Strengthen the organs of elimination, so when your "method" of "killing" the cancer is successful, you don't die of organ failure.

Be well,

Be well,

Hi,

Wonder if anybody could help!

My husband (lung met to bones & brains) off a fast programme. Since last Saturday, he started on Cantron. Also on Immunical, Flaxseed oil, Noni juice, Apple cider vinegar with honey. Feet suddenly swollen, although still able to drive. Experienced migraine lately, although in the past, his head never seems to be giving him problem.

What could be the cause of the swelling, is there anything we could do about it? If anyone out there knows something, I would really appreciate your advise

Many thanks

Hi ,

Thanks for responding so quickly,

Could any type of rose tea do? Or is there an specific type. I am residing in Singapore. Could you recommend anybody here? If the herbs that you have mentioned cannot be found here,(I will try to source for them locally first) are there any other alternatives?

Regards

Peggie

Thanks for your feedback.

What is Umeboshen paste and how is it applied? Would any rose tea do?

Umeboshi plums are a delicacy of Japan, and added to rice balls commonly.

They are excellent alkalizers. Eat about a teaspoon at a time, 2X a day, that's 2 teaspoons. THAT'S a LOT. Put on a cracker is ok.

Rose tea is the NAME of a tea, that has liver and kidney herbs in it. It is not actually roses.

Hello everyone,

lately I have some pain in the bottom of my heel it feels like pins and

needles going in I was wandering if this is part of the as.

Krae

[Guest guest]

Jeff, I haven't read about it as a side effect of Enbrel. That's

interesting that it's happening to you too. I was having trouble with my

ankles before Enbrel as well, but it does seem to be getting worse. Don't

know if the Enbrel is causing it, or if the Enbrel just isn't working like

it should, or if I just have to give it more time.

Do you find anything helps your feet and ankles? I have wrap around ice

packs. Boy am I sick of icing my ankles. I know I should elevate my feet

above my heart, but for some reason I hate doing it. Do you find elevating

your feet helps you?

Janet

[Guest guest]

I am not sure from the email I saw which of you has the purple shade of red

on the feet, but GET A DOC ON THE PHONE! It could be very serious! My dad is

on diuretics and pressure pants in addition to Jobst stockings for symptoms

like that! Venous insufficiency was his diagnosis.

[Guest guest]

When Reiters started 27 years ago it hit my feet and heels first with my

eye's ... My legs and ancle's where swollen as far as the skin would streach

....

Warm Wet Towels with heating pads where the only thing that took them down in

a hospital in about 10 day's ... back then I was hospitalized many times

for Reiters ... And my heels where so tender and peeling skin off the bottoms

3/4 inches thick ...

Just some Input ...

[Guest guest]

> Do you find anything helps your feet and ankles?

No, Janet and that's what has me concerned..not only swollen , but

often numb..plus they turned ugly to the point of being

unrecognizable as my feet..i sometimes look down at them and ask

myself how i ever got so messed up..like talking to my feet is going

to help..i've spoken to several doctors and they've tried to assist,

but no good..i too had a slight problem with swelling before Enbrel

but not like this..I'm very glad you posted your experience..i'm

going to skip a week on Enbrel and see what happens...my last

infusion was Tues, so i'll wait awhile before next shot..couldn't be

any worse, I think...

jeff

[Guest guest]

Jeff,

I'm so sorry to hear about your foot problems:( *HUG

I hope someone can come up with some good ideas to help you.

Myself, I've had swollen ankles on an off for a while but never that bad

as you have---I have less problem now that I'm not sitting at a computer

desk but stretched out on the bed.. legs wise.. as I type.

> Jeff, I haven't read about it as a side effect of Enbrel.

Do you find anything helps your feet and ankles?

I didn't until i read your post about possible connection between the

two..So my last infusion was 10 days ago and the swelling is almost

completely gone, along with all discoloration...NOW that having been

said, just because it seems to have worked for me, don't anybody else

try a thing without first consulting your doctor..I had reached the

point where the swelling was getting out of hand and along with

purplish discolorarion, i became a little concerned about

circulation..to say nothing of discomfort..It wasn't even a close

call for me and the results have been temporarily remarkable..i don't

know how long my feet and ankles are going to remain this way, so i

take one day at a time...jeff

[Guest guest]

Jeff,

I'll be interested to hear if you do worse or better with a week off Enbrel.

I'll be taking a week off in mid-June when I'm traveling and will be

interested to see what happens. I'll probably take more prednisone.

I did a terrible job with my Monday injection of Enbrel. I hit a vein in my

stomach and blood went everywhere. Then, because I was running to the

Kleenex box, which I should have had next to me, to try and stop the blood

spray, I left the uncovered needle sitting there and when I came back my cat

was climbing gingerly over it, as she climbed up on the table. She doesn't

seem to have gotten a needle stick, thank God. Then, this morning I took

her into the groomers and while talking to the groomers, I stupidly balanced

her big carrier precariously on the little counter and it fell to the floor

with her in it. It flipped in the air first. Fortunately, they had all

their dirty towels in duffel bags waiting for the laundry man and the

carrier bounced off that first which cushioned the blow. That poor cat. I

took her out of the carrier and held her close. I hope she's OK. I don't

know who was more scared, her or me.

Does anybody know if you hit a vein and bleed a lot right after your Enbrel

injection does the medicine come back out or does it still get into your

system? I should call the Amgen nurse advice line and ask them.

Regards,

Janet in SF

Is it your feet swollen or your ankles? Some people

will get swelling in the lower extremeties from simply

eating too much salty food or it can be a symptom of

something more serious. It's not something that a

doctor is going to be able to tell you much about from

that one general symptom. My ankles frequently swell.

It's usually because of too much salt. I make note of

anything that has changed - food, activity, pain, etc.

and I generally watch it until my next MD appt. unless

it gets to the point of discomfort or I have other

things going on besides the swelling ankles. This is

simply what I would do. We each have to decide for

ourselves (along with our MDs) the level of

responsibility we are comfortable assuming.

Edema can be caused by many things, including poor circulation, often a result of diabetes, etc. Can be retention of fluids or other things. I recently started to have swelling in one foot and ankle. As I am over weight, I am focusing on my weight... also the fact that I sit so much .. between work and my commute, I believe mine may be due to circulatory issues. It can be quite painful. If you want to learn more.. research EDEMA.

Hello With me, it was Congestive Heart Failure secondary to Dilated Cardiomyopathy.   Fairly serious stuff but they have drug programs that help these days.Definitely point out that your feet are swollen to your Doctor on Monday, make sure he listens carefully to your heart (he'll be listening for rice krispies crackling noises).   He'll ask you if you've been sleeping well.   He may want a chest x-ray, ultimately the only sure way to diagnose it is a doppler echocardiogram.   Of course it could be something else and it's usually better if it is something else.Regards,On Nov 5, 2006, at 1:45 AM, Granada wrote:what can cause swollen feet and do i need to worry before monday before seeing my NP of neurologist??

Edema is a sign of Congestive Heart Failure.. but not always associated with that.. it can be many things and only her doctor can advise her of that. I don't know her medical history or whether she has any heart conditions. She should read about EDEMA and understand that there are many conditions which cause this condition, congestive heart failure being one of the more serious. I believe it is also a symptom of kidney problems.. the condition is very common and can be caused by about anything including just being overweight.

I started to drink dandelion root tea when it happened and it helped a bit to relieve the excess fluid.

I agree with , you need to discuss this with your doctor and make sure he checks out the situation.

So far, only my feet and it happens when i am sitting too much or when I lay in bed and then it is one foot over the other, which I think is strange. My right foot.

It is uncomfortable and I can notice it. All the nurse told me is if it went up into my legs and if I can't get my shoes on.

If it keeps up, I will let the doctor know. I keep wondering if it is the verapamil that I just got put on, it is a side effect, though weird that it would affect one foot and not the other and when I lay down sometimes.

I know I am overweight.

I have had poor circulation before and also since I take zomig and I have cold feet doesn't help.

Just strange I would get it laying down in bed all night.

electrolyte drinks a day and adding salt to my foods. I'm taking 600 mg

Magnesium and 600 mg Calcium. I am still getting leg cramps most nights but

cramps would go away. I've tried taking more magnesium and I think (fuzzy

+++Hi . First, ensure you are using the correct ocean sea salt, and not

just any sea salt.

Also since nutrients all work together ensure you are taking all of the

supplements in the correct doses and that you are taking the correct kind,

particularly cod liver oil OR fish oil, depending upon your sun exposure.

Having leg cramps does indicate an imbalance in minerals, mainly cal/mag.

Ensure you are taking the correct kind of cal/mag too.

If you consume any green drinks (chlorophyll) or similar products, or are

drinking too much tea they will act like a diuretic making your body get rid of

water and also wash out electrolytes (minerals) you are getting from the ocean

sea salt, foods, etc.

Also you should be consuming water that contains its natural minerals - not

distilled, reverse osmosis or softened water. Softened water is particularly

bad since it is high in sodium which washes minerals out of your body. I

recommend using regular tap water and a Brita Filter.

Also ensure you aren't drinking something that is high in sodium like club soda,

selzers, etc. or taking too much baking soda.

I hope that helps you sort things out.

The best, Bee

Thanks Bee for your help. Yes I take Celtic Sea Salt.

I'm taking 2 T of Garden of Life CLO. I just started trying to get some

sun, but I've only been outside 15-20 minutes for the last 2 days. Would that

make a difference?

I take Now foods powdered Magnesium Citrate and Now foods powdered Calcium

Citrate. I've had some bone broth soup the past few days but didn't lower my

calcium supplementation when maybe I should have.

I'm not taking any green drinks or drinking much tea.

I drink the Swiss tap water and leave it out for 24 hours or boil it for

1/2 hour. I've read that the water is low in chlorine.

No baking soda in my diet at all.

Thanks for your help. I'm still perplexed as to what is causing this.

+++No that shouldn't make a lot of difference. Also to get enough sun exposure

85% of your body needs to be exposed and you need to be out during the optimal

time of day.

+++If you have 2 mugs (close to 3 cups) in a day you don't need to take any

cal/mag, if your bone broth was cooked long enough, and soaked in lemon juice

before cooking it, etc.

+++Are you taking any kind of medications or drugs, hormones, birth control

pills, etc.?
