Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 I imagine you will get many suggestions but my first thoughts are to use any blood cleansing herbs. You'd need to look up what they are but parsley, pau d'arco, cilantro?, lemon?, etc. etc. And not eat anyting that is hard on the body to process but make all of these blood cleansing things your foods for a while until you see progress. Of course any liver cleansing herbs too. Things like dandelion and milk thistle. I hope your husband is well soon. B.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Hi Shanti, I'm curious. Is your husband taking any medication? When doing the protocol on the 4 hrz., one is not to take any medication, vitamins, etc., that could be toxic. Although, some say you can take them immediately after doing the blood electrification and ONLY then. This way it gives your body a good 24 hours to filter everything out before doing the BE again. Is he able to do a liver cleanse? Although Beck says you don't have to do any cleanses, I've found the BEing did not clean out my liver. When I later did the liver cleanse, I found I had been packed with stones in the liver. That was way after I had finished the Beck protocol. If he is able to do the cleanses, I would suggest that first. When you start with the Beck protocol, the liver can become over burden with all the toxic die-off the BE causes. I personally think the cleaner the liver is, the better it is to handle the process. I would also suggest, if you do start up with the Beck protocol again, I would start very slowly and see what reaction he has. Try only 5 minutes and wait and see how he can handle that. After a few days, if he can tollerate that, you can increase it a few more minutes. Still I have never heard of what you've mentioned. I hope things work out for you and your husband. Take care, Gail HELP PLEASE! > hello, > > We recently started using the beck blood electrification machine. > After a few days my husband startd turning yellow and became very > weak.

Do you think he could have been exposed to something while in India? I know that Gail asked you if he was taking any medication and that would be an important factor. All drugs, herbs, alcohol, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, and some vitamins must be discontinued for at least two days before starting and for the duration of blood electrification. This minimizes substances in your blood which may become toxic at 20 times their normal levels. I hope you find an answer to your problem.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Hi Shanti, I really feel sorry your husband & hopes that he get's well. It appear's that your husband has had one heck of a bad reaction- (probably because of alot of of nasty bugs) to using the Beck protocol and probably needs a boost to help him and his liver prior to recommencing the Beck protocol. Although I am not a doctor I would look at the following: 1. Juicing- typically- 1/2 a beetroot, large handful of spinach, 3 large carrots, brochili- small size floret, and 4 celery stalks - this will give him a boost 2. Alfalfa-(tablets) will strengthen & tone up heart lungs kidneys & liver. 3. Liver support- Milk Thistle, Artichokes, 4. Detoxification- Ozone-should also be able to help in this matter check out http://www.oxytherapy.com/ basically you need to detoxify his kidneys & liver before recomencing Being Beck recommends that you drink alot of water preferably ozone after treatment. Although you could try Homozon. I hope that this helps Regards >From: " shantimalai " <shantimalai@...> >Reply- > >Subject: HELP PLEASE! >Date: Thu, 07 Mar 2002 00:02:20 -0000 > >hello, > >We recently started using the beck blood electrification machine. >After a few days my husband startd turning yellow and became very >weak.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 It sounds like Effexor withdrawal, which can go on for months. Your doctor probably weaned you off too fast, as most doctors do becuase they know little or nothing about the dangers of these stupid drugs. Effexor produces withdrawal every bit as bad as Paxil withdrawal and there is not much you can do about it except ride it out.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Dear Kim, congratulation on getting HBO. It does do miracles. My son, Devon, is paralyzed from the neck down since he was 3 1/2. He is now 7 years old. His heal cords are perfect. He did wear AFOs for a while until we met Ray Cralle. I'm sure you'll hear his name mentioned more. When we would remove the AFOs (orthotics) from Devon's feet, his feet would spring down into a " streched " position as if he were trying to point his toes as far as they would go. As time went by, they would get more tone and less flexibility. The doctors told us to be prepared to do heal cord surgery sometime in the future to lengthen his heal cords. I know Botox is always going to be temporary. My wife knows even more about the downside of Botox. Ray Cralle showed us a simple and effective technique to let his own body correct itself. Keep in mind, Devon is paralyzed. By stimulating certain muscles, his feet and ankles would flex themselves, therefore keeping his heal cord elastic. His last PT evaluation, the therapist who hasn't seen Devon for over 6 months, noted how much more range she could get out of his feet and ankles than when he was only 6 months post paralysis. Ray Cralle's located in Delray Beach, Florida. His phone number is 561/276-9643. I'm sure he would be glad to consult with you. Please let him know I refered you. Sincerely, Caouette from California. PS. Devon was on Baclofen. I don't know if you know what that is, but it is to reduce spasticity and tone. Since going to Ray, Devon is no longer taking Baclofen or any other drugs. The same thing we're doing for his heal cords, also eliminates about 70% of his spasms. My email is Jcaoue1030@... if you have any other questions that I might be able to answer.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Kim, I was really impressed with how great Jaxon did. We miss him already. If at all possible, I would wait until after the next round of hbot. One disadvantage of doing botox while doing hbot is blocking those signals from the brain. This is a time that those signals need to be free flowing so hbot can take effect. In other words, if Neurons are to begin developing, improving, and doing their job they must be able to transmit and recieve the signals freely through the nerves. So many times I have seen Botox cancelled after doing hbot. If there is a serious problem then Botox may be the way to go, but I would suggest waiting at least 3 months after the hbot and if you are thinking of doing hbot again, I strongly urge you not to have botox for at least 6 months before the hbot. Botox is a deterrent, not an enhancer. It can slow the progress which may be achieved with hbot. Give Jaxon a big hug and tell him I promise to have the train running next time. And maybe he will be willing to ride the tractor also. [ ] Help Please! > Hello, > > I need some input here as soon as possible. I have a son who will be 3 > years-old tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Kim- I would agree with on the suggestion not to receive the Botox if it isn't entirely necessary. It has been my experience that the " Botox-Free " patients tend to respond a bit better than the patients receiving the injections. If you really are pleased with the results from the HBOT and are excited about the future treatments, I would recommend that you hold off on the treatments and allow the HBOT to work to the fullest potential. Also, this will allow you to better gauge the " true " results of the HBOT by the end of the treatments. -Jay Jay A Rain, DMT, CHT Director South Coast Hyperbaric Medicine & Woundcare Center 3 Professional Park Drive Webster, Texas 77598 281.554.8848 " He Heals most Successfully those in which he has the most confidence " - Galen Re: [ ] Help Please!

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hello , Thank you so much for your response. I am especially pleased to hear how well your son has progressed. What an encouraging story to hear. I do recognize Ray's name. I did e-mail him and let him know you gave me his name. I am awaiting his response. I am just trying to gather as much info. from all sides as I can, so that when I talk to the ortho. I know what I am talking about. I do know about baclofen and how wonderful is that that your son no longer needs it! Awesome! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and will try to post how the visit goes on Tues.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Jay, I do thank you for your response. It truly helps to hear from people with experience with these children. I too, feel that I would rather be working with one variable than two. I hhope that Jaxon's Dr. will be reasonable with me and if we have a " protocol " (i.e., allow some time, reassess in a few months, etc., ) we will all be on the right track. Thank you for your post.

If there is a serious problem then Botox may be the way to go, but I would suggest waiting at least 3 months after the hbot and if you are thinking of doing hbot again, I strongly urge you not to have botox for at least 6 months before the hbot. Botox is a deterrent, not an enhancer. It can slow the progress which may be achieved with hbot. Give Jaxon a big hug and tell him I promise to have the train running next time. And maybe he will be willing to ride the tractor also. [ ] Help Please! > Hello, > > I need some input here as soon as possible. I have a son who will be 3 > years-old tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi Ruth, Internal shivering is a unique symptom of adrenal fatigue. Try to get cortisol tested as well as thyroid. I agree that your symptoms all fit the thyroid picture, most especially the low temps and inability to cope with temperature extremes. ----- Subject: Help please! Hello everyone, I have been referred to a consultant by my doctor as he needs help deciding what to do with me basically! The consultant is a general medicine consultant and I have an appointment this friday. I have had two TSH tests which have both come back 'normal', (2.4 and 2.8) the second one was supposed to be T4, T3 and antibodies as well but laboratory refused to do it on the grounds that a GP requested it, not a consultant and the TSH result was 'normal'. My doctor has agreed that these tests need doing based on my symptoms and has said I need to get the consultant to do them when I seem him. He keeps mentioning M.E but has agreed that no stone should be left unturned before diagnosing M.E. He's also told me not to waste this opportunity as I wont get another one. Based on my symptoms (below), what specific tests should I ask for? I'm confused about the dfference between total and free. Should I ask for reverse T3? The only other tests he's done are a FBC which were 'normal'. I want to appear intelligent but not tell them how to do their job lol. I'm aware that my symptoms could be a whole manner of things which is very frustrating, it has taken me 5 years to get this far and looking back I think I've been ill for far longer but didn't realise. I've taken the anti-depressants, all of which made me feel worse especially prozac and not because I've wanted to or even because I felt I needed to, I took them to shut everyone up basically. This is because I have a 'history' of depression which was caused by bereavement but they just seem to love dragging that up. I suppose it's the easy way out for them but it's done me no good, nearly killed me in fact. Some stupid doctor gave me anti-depressants that are dangerous for kids and 'hey presto', I tried to kill myself three weeks later just as they were starting to kick in. Finally they have decided that I am right to be concerned and that my symptoms are not down to depression. Anyway moving on, I need to make the most of this appointment to see the consultant so if you have any ideas, feel free to tell me :-) Take care, Ruth x ps sorry about long post! Too hot or too cold, never `just right'. Hands and feet nearly always cold. Slower nail and hair growth. Headaches/migraines. Quite severe PMS/PMT Difficulty waking up even after a good nights sleep. Wake up with a blocked nose and a `fuzzy' head. Constantly tired, need for excessive sleep but never feel refreshed. Muscles and joints ache, feel weak and exhausted. Recurrent thrush. Weight loss seems to be impossible after losing quite a lot of weight (3 stone) then putting most of it back on again despite loss of appetite. Always thirsty, even after large amounts of drinks. Frequent urination even when I haven't drank a lot. Feel `jittery' and dizzy if not eaten anything for a couple of hours. Find it hard to hold a conversation, mind drifts and don't `hear' what has been said. Daydream a lot, not really `here' half the time. Heavier periods and shorter cycle. Ringing in ears, static noise, sometimes have problems hearing. Stomach cramps/bloating. Bloated feeling occurs every time I eat even if it's a snack. Water retention, ankles and wrists swell. Bruise really easily, frequently notice bruises and I have no idea how it happened. Feel irritable. Weight gain despite loss of appetite. Poor memory, used to have a good memory. Pre-eclampsia during both of my pregnancies. Unusual to have it twice? Low milk supply after both of my babies' births, tried for months after they were born to breastfeed, tried pumping, herbal remedies, breasting councillors, nothing improved supply. Low milk supply has been linked to thyroid problems, possible cause? Have blacked out on a couple of occasions, fear for my children's safety when this happens when I'm on my own with them. Stabbing pains just below ribs on the right hand side, very similar to when I had pre-eclampsia. Shooting pains in legs when walking up stairs etc. Joints 'click' and are stiff. Find it hard to brush my hair in the morning, muscles in arms are stiff and can't hold arms up for long. Slightest bit of exertion causes exhaustion. If I overdo it, I wake up the next day with severe aches and pains all over my body and I have flu-like symptoms (shivering, fever, headaches etc), this lasts for one or two days. Sometimes I have to stay in bed. I used to be quite active and strong. Cold sweats at night, no apparent reason for this. `Internal shivering' even when central heating e.t.c on. Low temperature on waking 35.4C. Struggle in the summer with the heat, have to stay out of direct sun. Pins and needles in lower arms/hands and feet. Messages are not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult with a suitably qualified practitioner before changing medication.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I have used a point probe in my mouth with great success. I also use my Scalar Laser. I use any setting that has to do with pleo stabilization or anti bacterial but also I work on the bone and intestinal health. Be sure to work on the adrenals and that all the nutrient, minerals and  fatty acids are addressed. Remove any entities that maybe in the mouth ;~} and send them into the light of the highest good. I like propolis rinses or Oregon grape for helping with oral infections, Clove is also antiseptic and kills pain. Tea or tincture, or find them on the SCIO and support that way. Kim On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 7:33 AM, yvonne walker <yvonnelilianwalker@...> wrote:  I had major mouth surgery on 23rd September - all my lower teeth were removed and cavitations found, which were curretted and biopsies taken - the results have just come back - definite NICO/Osteonecrosis.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Hi , Never use a product unless you know what's in it, and have worked out what the effects are. In relation to anything that comes from China, be very wary, as I have seen a number of chinese products that have been contaminated. Most recently, a "natural" hormone from a reputable Drug company that sourced it's active ingredient from China because it was cheaper. On analysis, it was found to be contaminated with mercury and cadmium; the product caused hives and rashes to come out on a lot of users; and of course the medicos blame the natural product and argue that their bent unnatural proteins are better. Age related cell degeneration can play a large part in bone degradation (and teeth are bone which a lot of people seem to forget); the way to alleviate or reduce further cell degeneration is to use OPCs pycnogenals and resveratrol. The latter can be found in very high levels in polygonium cuspidium. Metagenics has a product with these ingredients. As far as killing bugs in the jaw is concerned, I have had very good results using a magnetic pulser, and also with the scenar with judiciously placed electrodes. A pulser can be obtained from Sota Instruments, but it is desirable to have the magnetic field from the pulse stronger than from their instrument. (Although their instrument will help). Washing your mouth out daily with antimicrobials is also beneficial (H2O2, colloidal silver, garlic, rosemary and other antimicrobial herbs) It is also necessary to examine your overall health. In general terms acidic interstitial fluid can affect many processes in the body. Alkaliners are useful in that event, but one can overdo that process, and I have seen some people negatively affected by too much alkalinity - so balance is the key. Manganese is needed for good teeth, and there can be many causes of mineral imbalances in the body. B vitamins are also required and a large number of people have problems with the enzymes converting B6 and B9 into active forms. You will also need to check for other bone health indicators, like Boron, Magnesium, and the steroids known as vitamin D and vitamin K - K is a protein activator and is needed to use D; D also comes from the HMGCoA path in the liver (cholesterol) and more than casual sunlight on skin is required to produce it, after which it is further metabolised in both the liver and kidneys - there are a number of factors that can interfere with this. Other elements are also involved eg Calcium, but avoid Calcium Carbonate. There are some good products around to help you, but some which will either not benefit you or can cause harm. Also, there is much information on the web, but rarely do I find an approach that considers all issues. Remember, look at causative factors, not just symptoms. Work with everything, emotions, energetics, nutrition, structure, biochemistry, all body systems and body electrics. Look at the metabolism, ask if it is sympathetic or parasympathetic dominant, treat, and ask why.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Dear ; Dr. Alastair Bourne has a special recipe for strenghtening the bones; which is based on an eggshell and lemon juice. That should be a good basis to do something in fysical. Avoid ALL sugars, and processed flour products, Besides that I think you need homeopathic treatment with Acidum fluoricum or Calcium fluoricum to boost up the coagulation of new bone tissue. Also: the herb Symphytum is known to heal and restore bone tissue. So go on and do your homework. Maybe you need some extra Bach's rescue remedy after such a surgery, don't you think?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I use colloidal silver. Some use medical grade hydrogen peroxide. I believe it is 30percent grade then you mix it with water. I also use ozonated water. You might want to check polarpowermagnets.com and see if you can use negative magnets- the medical type not the kind they sell everywhere. Dr Philpott has a great book on magnets. He is the guru of magents.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I had numbness of legs and arms 3 nights in a row, waking up from sleep with a fast heartbeat.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Ruby: If your heart is racing, you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperthyroid. How long has it been since your TSH has been tested? And, what were your numbers on your antibodies? I am still recovering from a total thyroidectomy that I had in July of this year. My antibodies one week prior to surgery were almost 24,000, and the norm should be in the range of 0-60. Gotta watch those antibodies because if they get high like mine, they attack the gland like it's a foreign object, and finally, you do end up hypo. When the surgeon opened up my neck, the gland was completely black and ink blue on the interior. That's Hashi's, it completely destroys the gland. My endo kept me on the 175 mcg of Synthroid and in September, I started experiencing the same thing, only added to that, thyroid toxicity, and severe psychosis. Since I was on too high of a dose of Synthroid and had no thyroid gland, the excess Synthroid was going straight to my pituitary gland. I thought I would slit my wrists or jump off a bridge. Come to find out, that instead of my surgeon and endo thinking I would be even more hypo, I ended up severely hyper. My TSH was in the negative numbers. I still have Hashi's, but the racing heart rate is something to watch out for and I still get it every now and again. The numbness would be a concern. Since my experience in September, they had to lower my Synthroid and now I'm okay, but I was having severe cramping in my feet and that racing heart rate. OMG - the cramping was like electric shocks. Do you have Hashi's? 2.55 would be consider getting on the hypo side, but that can fluctuate. With my Hashi's, and probably most all Hashi's, I would fluctuate from severely hyper, losing about 90 pounds each time, then I would go hypo.. After the cycle ends, you're hypo because the gland basically dies. I'd get in as soon as possible to have your Free T4, Free T3, third generation thryoid tests, your TSH and your antibodies. Get your Vitamin D tested as well, and have them do the C Protein test for your heart. ________________________________ From: benzo4321 <ruby.none@...> hypothyroidism Sent: Sat, December 26, 2009 7:14:04 AM Subject: Help please!
