new to list

[Guest guest]

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.

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.

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.

Wishes,

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,

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.

Sheila

[Guest guest]

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.

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. Will try to mail

you some links

take care

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,

[Guest guest]

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.

I ran a marathon, too, on 40% carbs. Protein is the fundamental of

eating for a type O.

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]

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).

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

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.

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. I'm so grateful that Dr. O took the time to do it Lap.

instead of open. Talk to you later!

I hate to sound illiterate but what is precocious puberty and what are the

signs? I am using the word precocious in the everyday definition, but it

just doesn't appear to fit the wording.

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.

Thank you for the explanation. Sometimes I am not really sure about some

subjects that come up, the interesting thing is that I find that alot of the

things that come up, are things that my daughter does. Again thanks for the
