I have Reactive Arthritis. My best friend hd great results wwith

Enbrel. She said it was great and had her life back.

Unfortunately,she died six weeks ago after a bout of pneumonia which

she got in a vacation in Florida and was a coma for over a month. But

she swore by the Enbrel, and called it " my miraqcle drug " . maybe you

should give it a try. Others swear by it to.

I am back on immuran

Kathy, I had to go off one of the immunosuppressants after my kidneys started

showing changes. Imuran can effect the kidneys. If your doctor is checking it

on a regular basis and feels it won't get any worse..it might be okay to have

a few blood cells in urine. Most of the Dmard meds have some side

effects...some more than others. Taking NSAID with Dmard can put extra stress on

kidney

and liver...and it is important to get regular blood workups because of this.

Don't know about the meds aspect of it, but last time I had blood in

the urine, it was from kidney stones... might want to get your

kidneys looked at. If you can rule out kidney stones, then you can

look at possible meds issues.

Whether you should eat a food or not on the BTD has nothing to do with

carbohydrates. It has to do with how that food affects you physically. The

diet is

for improving your health. Weight loss is a byproduct. If you also happen

to be wanting to lose weight, you should limit your carbs.

Hi ,

Welcome to the group. I don't know my secretor status for sure, but I do know

that I feel better when I avoid all grains: oats, spelt, rice, wheat. I do eat

nuts though: almonds, walnuts, etc.

I do a combo of Eat Right & Atkins. I keep my carbs quite low and I find this is

what works for me in terms of energy and keeping my weight down. I choose

proteins and veggies that are compatible with my blood type. This has also

helped me to drop 3 dress sizes. I don't know what that means in terms of weight

loss. Others have estimated a 30-40 pound weight loss. Don't know for sure, as I

avoid scales like the plague.

Because I keep my carbs low, I don't tend to eat much fruit. I don't miss them

actually. During the summers I do like to have some berries and apricots. But

other than that, it's veggies and protein.

Your last post mentioned corn .. corn is a poison, just like wheat. I know that

it inadvertently ends up in some of the prepared food that we eat, but at least

try and avoid the obvious. I puff up like blowfish if I eat any corn or wheat.

It's not pretty! And it's painful.

Good luck .. there are many knowledgeable and helpful people in this group.

Is cream okay because it is not homoginized?

Are there others on this list who eat lots of fruit?

Are there suppliments that you take daily that you find helpful?

For example, I have been taking l-carnitine since it is found only

in red meat and I'm making huge leaps just eating turkey and fish at

this point, after 20 years as an ovo-lacto-vegitarian.

Those of you who have fine tuned your BTD, have you maintained your

optimal weight long term? I will get ahold of the Live Right book.

I was quite confused until I got and read LR4YT and then I could'nt put it down

and found it sooo fascinating! [i'm just about to buy another one cos I can't

find it - think dh borrowed it and left it at work!].

The secretor bit is important but at the beginning you can't tell necessarily

what is or isn't an avoid for you as your system might be so overloaded that it

really needs time to detox from things before they show as a no-no for your

system.

The only way to really know is to do the test and then eat for whatever it says

you are.

Good luck, it's a journey and some can rush it but for me it's a bit at a time

but it's getting better - just have to work harder on the milk chocolate

front!

I think NB stands for Neutral-Beneficial.

I stay away from rice anyways .. too many carbs.

I assume cream is an avoid. It doesn't have anything to do with homogenization

or pasteurization.

Being a secretor means you secrete your blood type antigen into other body

fluids, like saliva. It's good to find out. Go to http://www.dadamo.com. Click

on " The Blood Type Store " in the green area at the top of the page. Then click

on " Home Testing Kits " and order the saliva secretor test. The test requires you

to collect saliva in a container they give you and send it to a lab.

Ginger,

Rice is a neutral. If you want to loose weight you need to eat lots of greens

balance your fats, get the right balance of protien, and stay away from grains

for the most part.

Where is the term neutral-beneficial coming from? I've never heard it. Rice is

You might be able to get a secretor test from a naturopathic doctor who

recommends the blood type diet or from the instructor if there are any BTD

classes or workshops in your area. I wouldn't expect a regular doctor to have

it.

Me either. Too many carbs too concentrated.

Here's my suggestion Mickey!

DO YOU consume cereals, breads, and drinks that are " enriched " with

so-called vitamins? If so beware! As most of these items are enriched with

synthetic chemical vitamins. In fact MANY nutritional supplements sold today are

synthetic, causing various problems and possibly even illness to unsuspecting

people who believe that they are health conscience and doing the right thing.

Many experts believe that we live longer or die shorter depending on whether we

take natural complexes or synthetic vitamins (chemicals). Some believe that

natural isolated vitamins may not be much better than a synthetic or manmade

chemical vitamins. In one experiment, rats given synthetic vitamins died sooner

than rats fed no food at all! " Both the recent Finnish study, published in the

New England Journal of Medicine and the Agnes Faye experiments at the

University of California, Berkley in the 1940's SHOWED that taking synthetic

vitamins is worse than starvation. Though synthetic vitamins have the same

molecular structure, they are a mirror image of the natural. A mirror image?

This suggests that they are identical in every detail. But a mirror image is the

exact opposite of the real thing, in this case, the natural vitamins. On top of

all this, if you've been taking pills or tablets, it has been shown in studies

that only 10% to 20% of the products may be absorbed. (see 1996 Physician's Desk

Reference, pg.1542). This means for every $100 that you spend, you are literally

flushing up to $80-$90 down the drain! Some manufacturers even use a chemical

called DCP to hold all the ingredients together to form the tablet. DCP is not

capable of breaking down completely in your body. This is enough reason to start

taking a good liquid vitamin supplement. http://www.healthgotit.com This can

lead to large undigested molecules floating through your bloodstream. Which can

cause plaque to form on the walls of your veins. Worst of all, there are no

regulations requiring vitamin manufacturers to list weather DCP is in their

product or not. Your vitamin pills may contain DCP and you will never know. In

order to produce these synthetic vitamins they use heat and chemical solvents

like ether, toluene, and benzene. The high heat can cause nutrients to lose

their action potential making them even more unusable to the cells in your body.

One can only be angry to think that all this time they have been taking their

daily dosage of vitamin pills which can do more harm than good. Have you ever

stopped to think why you do not feel much, if any, benefits after taking vitamin

pills on a daily basis? It is amazing that they can still call these chemical

concoctions: Vitamins. If someone were to buy you a toy dog and tell you that it

is a real live breathing dog would you believe them? Of Course Not! You can

obviously see the difference. This is not the case with vitamin pills. The truth

is, most people do not know what is in their tablets. The average person does

not own high-tech equipment for examining vitamin and mineral pills. This is why

vitamin manufactures are getting away with using cheap inexpensive synthetic

vitamins. Some pills even contain oyster shells, carbonates, oxides and

dolomitesinorganic or metallic substances, which are basically ground up rocks,

which our bodies were not designed to digest. There is hope! All the information

above is not the case with Life Force Liquid Nutraceuticals. We believe the

answer to supplementation is liquid dietary supplements

http://www.healthgotit.com and especially those that come from plant life.

Liquids have shown a documented absorption rate of up to 98%, so you feel the

difference almost immediately! Body Balance, our #1 product, has been called the

" Product-Of-The-Decade " ! Life Force International uses the harvested LIVE

NUTRIENTS (non-synthetic) in 9 sea vegetables from cold pristine ocean waters.

These areas produce sea vegetation that contains over 120 naturally occurring

phytonutrients! This oxygen-rich exceptional whole food supplement and

antioxidant synergistically combines virtually every trace vitamin, macro

mineral, trace mineral, amino acid, essential fatty acid and enzyme needed for

optimal health. Recommended by thousands of health care practitioners.

Why Should You Take Body Balance?

page down 1/2 way and listen to pharmacist's testimony

<http://www.healthgotit.com/liquid-vitamin-testimonies.htm>

what do doctors have to say?!

Contains Over 120 Phytonutrients -Amino Acids -Essential Fatty Acids

-Enzymes Also Contains Trace Amounts -Vitamins -Macro Minerals -Trace Minerals

Supports the Immune System -Fortifies the body with essential nutrients needed

for optimal health Supports Metabolic Processes -Facilitates Digestion Helps

increase Oxygen at the Cellular Level -Promotes Energy -Promotes Stamina

Excellent Source of Antioxidants -Contains Antioxidants shown to have anti-aging

properties Other Benefits -Facilitates Elimination -Improves Absorption

-Enhances Assimilation -Nourishes -Improves vitality -Promotes a feeling of

well-being Oxygen at the cellular level is essential to growth and life, and

Aloe Vera, found in Body Balance, contains more oxygen molecules than the fluids

of ANY other plant. Liquid Vitamins are the way to go. www.healthgotit.com Did

you know that calcium has been shown to douse bad acid in the body? Are you

looking for a good liquid calcium supplement? Another Life Force product is

OsteoProCare which is a great tasting liquid calcium supplement. OsteoProCare

also contains two well-known and highly prized compounds, glucosamine and

chondroitin, for supporting healthy joints You should note that not all forms of

calcium are equal. For example: Calcium Lactate and Calcium Phosphate is like

plaster. Calcium Carbonate in pill form has the consistency of chalk and can

take the body up to 20 hours to absorb just 5%. The problem with those forms of

calcium is that it is hard for the body to break them down for proper

absorption. OsteoProCare uses Calcium Oratete which is ALREADY in liquid ionic

form which allows for quick and easy absorption. Calcium can not be absorbed

without the presence of Vitamin D. That's why OsteoProCare contains Vitamin D3

as well as over 40 other important nutrients. Oh yeah...How does Body Balance

Taste? Obviously anything this good for you could not taste good too, right?

Wrong. Body Balance contains Black Cherry which has shown to support healthy

uric acid levels in the body and Bee Honey which both make Body Balance taste

delicious! Do you believe that eating 3 meals a day consisting of the proper

amounts of each of the 4 food groups will give you 'good health' and 'long

life'? Click on " Next " below for some interesting information.

[ ] questions

Has anyone tried cell salts and with what results?

I am planning to give my daughter the Bioplasma cell salts, which

are a combination of all 12 of Dr. Schuessler's biochemic tissue

remedies.

Also, we got the results from Enterolab on gluten sensitivity. All

tests for which we tested her came back positive:

Gluten-Fecal Antiglandin IgA 106units (normal is < 10)

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 77 units (normal is < 10)

Fecal anti-casein IgA 90 Units (Normal is <10 Units)

Fecal anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA 23 Units(Normal<10 Units)

Fecal Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (dietary yeast) IgA 16 Units

(Normal Range <10 Units).

She does not have the celiac disease gene, but has the gene that can

predispose her to celiac disease.

This is after her blood allergy tests came out negative, even for

the foods mentioned above. I am confused. Does any one know of

additional tests that can confirm that indeed she should have no

wheat, dairy, eggs or yeast in her diet? She does not have any of

the signs of celiac disease.

It will be hard to get protein in her new diet, as she does not like

meat, fish, nuts, beans.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thank you,

Mickey

I suppose it would be built mostly of wood -- probably even built

of healthy / non-toxic materials. Also, it sounds like some people

are sensitive to actual locations on the Earth, as some places are

inherently unhealthy from a " geopathic " standpoint while others are

healthy, so one could consult a dowser. But I'm of the opinion that

it's probably easier and cheaper to take what you've got and " fix "

it with air purifiers, EMF protection devices, etc. grounding, and

replacing any energy-efficient flourescent lighting with the

old-fashioned kind. Although this may require a lot of trial

and error to see what works.

I think a metal roof could definitely cause problems, although

I suppose it's possible that grounding it might help?

Hi all,

would like to know how to best build myself, as there are plans in the air for

some cabins. maybe a nice haven for people like us for the future. especially

wiring and stuff as well, well the whole thing. pretty long term plan, but i

would like to do it right as it is pretty remote here and apart from the

overhead powerlines in the towns and on the main road, sources like towers are

far away..

Most structures here still have metal roofs, corrogated zinc usually, and i

cannot say i feel it has affected me, even ungrounded.

Love and Light
