Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Welcome , From my own experience, my headaches are caused by a herniated disc in my neck.. Have you looked into this? This is what my spine doctor has told me. This list is extra special cause there is tons of information, support and respect for one another. Go ahead and vent, cry, laugh, tell a clean joke or two.. maybe even three when you think someone needs a good healthy giggle. You are going to love each and everyone of us.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Hi and welcome to the list. The doctors think that my daily headaches are a form of migraines. I hope your headaches are getting better. I think that the focus of this group is support and information. Welcome to the group. #3 Re: New to List Hey B., I am just joining this list and just read your email. I don't know what type of headache you have as I said I am new to this. However, I have head an ongoing headache since June of 2000 which I believe is part of fibromyalgia. I have taken lots of drugs for it but not the one you mentioned. Can you tell me what the focus of this egroup is? Is it to offer support to others and to swap info on what works? Looking forward to hearing from the egoup.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi Sheila, welcome to the list! I am very sorry to hear about your daughter. Life really changes when someone close is diagnosed with a certain condition. I will like to suggest that if you have not yet done so, then maybe you may want to devote some time to doing a thorough web search on cystic fibrosis on the Web? Knowing more about what you are dealing with sometimes can put you on the right track, thus reducing your fears and be able to offer more support to your daughter. Of course, not forgetting yourself too... if you need any support or help, just feel free to write to this list, we are here to help and lend an 'ear' whenever we can! Hugs, Ling Singapore Type2 diabetes, occipital neuralgia New to list Hello, I am new to the list, so I thought I would introduce myself and stop lurking. My name is Sheila and I live in Texas--which is very, very hot at this very moment. I am 30 years old and happily married (9 years) and I have two beautiful little girls. Makenzie is the oldest (4 1/2) and Madison (Maddie) is 18 months old. On July 2nd, 2001, we were told that our oldest daughter has Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Of course, our whole world has been turned upside down. We have yet to find out if the youngest has it. She will be tested on August 9th. Does anyone else on this list have CF? Or does anyone know much about it? I am glad I have found y'all--forgive my Texas slang.... If I have missed giving out any pertinent info. feel free to ask me. I am not shy.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Thanks Ling for the welcome. I don't know what it is about me and computers but I have the hardest time searching on the web. Is there a trick to it?? I am one of those people who always has to do the Search Help. LOL But, I have found a great group of doctors at Cook's Childrens Hospital in Fort Worth, TX. They have given me tons of info. and videos. They also do lots of counseling and hook you up to support groups and a social worker. I think we will even be doing some genetic counseling and as Makenzie gets older I am sure the counseling will change to her needs. > Re:New to list > > Hi Sheila, welcome to the list! > > I am very sorry to hear about your daughter.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Hi Sheila, I think you are doing great! use the search engines... just type in the key words and that usually yields a great deal of results. Have you tried drkroop.com? maybe healthanswers.com? You may like to visit websites by established medical schools, they are often more reliable.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 > If any one could please give info regarding the picture, I think his name was Richcardo Gil? I would like to get in touch with him by email if possible so I could ask some questions regarding the halo >brace and why he needed to have it. Regarding Mr. Gil, I believe the brace he is wearing in the picture is the result of an accident he suffered while he was an actor. He was featured in a recent special on either the Discovery Channel or The Learning Channel. Here is his web address: http://www.ricardogil.com There may be an email link found there.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 Amy; First rule for us Os: eat more protein! You mention substituting for wheat when the real culprit is that we eat too many carbs. I've had great success eating meat and vegetables, very little grains or fruit. Again, too many carbs. More general rules: eat your body weight in grams of protein, total carb intake should only be 35% of your total calorie consumption, drink more water. Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 I don't want to eat more protein!!! I don't really like it.... I am also very active, I ran a marthon in October and really don't know how I could function on 35% carbs?? I also have a nutrition degree, so I have a hard time accepting " high protein " is the way to go. It was my understanding that it is not that bad to eat the neutral grains, and the beneficial/neutral fruits?? I don't think I can drink anymore water, I already drink about a gallon a day. Thanks for the tips, I look forward to more comments/suggestions. >From: " Maskell " <kmaskell@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: RE: New to list >Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 21:28:00 -0600 > >Amy; > >First rule for us Os: eat more protein! > >You mention substituting for wheat when the real culprit is that we >eat too many carbs.

Protein is the fundamental of eating for a type O. > It was my understanding that > it is not that bad to eat the neutral grains, and the > beneficial/neutral fruits?? It depends on your goals. Check out the serving amounts. Protein: Meat and Poultry: 6 - 9 servings per week (7 - 12 for a non-secretor) Fish & Seafood: 4 - 5 times per week. Eggs: 3 - 6 times per week Carbs: Grains: 1 - 6 times per week (0 - 3 for a non-secretor.) Our ancestors didn't have grains to eat; our bodies lack the enzymes to digest them so they are stored as fat. Pretty much the same with dairy. Our ancestors ate meat and some vegetables. > I don't think I can drink anymore water, I already drink about a > gallon a day. My trainer recommends 1 oz of water per pound of body weight. It takes some getting used to, but you can do it. Water flushes toxins and fat out of your system. If weight loss is a goal, water is essential.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 Amy: I think you'll find a lot type O's like myself who experienced lots of benefits from high protein, low carbs. I don't have the ratios that or have, but I've been surprised how that protein vs. carbs really is the core of the issue for me. Weight loss, energy level, immune system strength are absolutely related. I gained 40 lbs from age 27 to 32. I've lost 35 by following the O-type diet about 85% for 2 years. I rarely suffer from sinus or cold anymore (which was nearly constant before). My energy level is great. I'm even a non-secretor (don't follow much of it), but I do try to keep carbs down and find I eat less and less as time goes on (except for chocolate which I love/am addicted to). stephen www.xiveren.com Sam: I only know you got the wrong man. Jack: Information Transit got the wrong man. I got the *right* man. The wrong one was delivered to me as the right man, I accepted him on good faith as the right man. Was I wrong?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2001 Report Share Posted November 29, 2001 Welcome Amy - Please reread page 52 in ER4YT. This is cutting edge info and unfortunately that is not what is thought in schools. On dadamo.com, look in the archives to see how people's time improve once they change the macro nutrient ratio. I know one young girl who felt just like you do (well this is how most feel in the beginning) and after changing her diet she cut off lots off extra time from her previous best. The bottom line is: There is nothing we can say to you that will change your believe system. It never works. What you should do is try it for yourself. Eat your weight in protein with little starchy carbs (squashes are preferred) and lots of HB fats. I can guarantee you rapid fat loss and more energy. Otherwise you will struggle for ever. Obviously the extra starches have deposited as fatty tissue. One healthy way to get rid of them: ER/LR4YT. love RE: New to list >Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 21:28:00 -0600 > >Amy; > >First rule for us Os: eat more protein! > >You mention substituting for wheat when the real culprit is that we >eat too many carbs.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2001 Report Share Posted December 1, 2001 Amy, I feel I need to do a few more carbs also - but, only during times you will burn like the marathon. The protein will build your strength and endurance and recovery. Of course, the carbs should be mostly HB (highly beneficial)fruits and veges. The more bad carbs you eat the less you tend to like what is good for you. Unfortunately, you nutrition training will only make it harder to learn to do what is best for your health. I have been studying all kinds of diets and natural health for 30+ years and blood type is the best way to go. Just be aware that there can be slight individual variations. On water - I find the best rule is 1/2 body weight in ounces daily. Also best when consumed in small increments every 1/2 to 1 hour throughout the day. Of course, the exception is when you have extra need like heavy training or work when you will lose more thru sweat and such. Don't resist change - just start working in beneficial changes and as you see the difference it will become easier all the time.

I have 7 ports because most of my weight was carried in my abdomen Hi Carmen!!! You, Marlo and I made it to this list at about the same time. Like you, I'm pinching myself! I forgot we both belong to the same club, the 7 PORT CLUB. I had to have 2 extra ports also, because of an extremely enlarger liver.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Nina... precocious puberty is diagnosed when a female shows signs of puberty prior to age 8 and a male prior to age 9...many times it appears for no reason whatsoever and other times it can be linked to a problem in the brain as in the case of my daughter's cyst.
