Hi !

I took the advise of our FIber Queen and started adding more and

more to my intake. I use a tablespoon of citrucel morning and night,

add Benefiber to every possible drink, and sometimes pop a fiber

drop (forget the name, hard orange candy next to the others on the

shelf) whenever I remember. This has really helped me a lot, as my

tummy is real happy, no need for stool softeners - and it's supposed

to help with weight loss.

I've found a case of " yuks " can often be soothed with a cup of hot

green tea with an added tablespoon of Benefiber. My theory is the

yuks come from " vacancy " I don't perceive as hunger. If it isn't

time for a feeding, I use the tea and fiber and feel soothed.

One huge lesson I have learned is that we have to learn our own

bodies. Conflicting advise doesn't mean someone is wrong, unless

something conflicts with our manual or Dr's advise. It's much more

likely to mean our systems are different and what's working for one

may not work for the next. I was pretty much a mess when I tried to

follow everyone's advise all at once.

Your tummy and manual will guide you! Tj

> Hello Group,

every day and what type? I know the citrucel but I have also been

hearing you talk about benefiber? Is it possible to be getting too

much fiber?

Good Luck! I hope the surgery works out for you.

Will I have to invest in a new hearing that is digital? Does anyone on

the list have experience with this?

Judy,

I did not wear my hearing aid for several months after I got my ci

(Nov 2004) so I could give my new ear a chance to learn; you will find

others that have worn theirs from the beginning and some who never put

them back on at all. I began wearing mine and now hate to be without

it; I have no speech discrimination but it helps round out the sound

and gives me some hearing on that side.I had both analog and digital

aids and I find that I do better with my older analog ha; not sure why

but the digital seems more distored with the ci. Do what your dr says

about the wearing the aid but I would try it both ways and see what

works for you. Good luck on your journey; I would do this again in a

heartbeat. Andi

[Guest guest]

Good question there.

I stopped wearing the hearing aid in the other unimplanted ear as soon

as I started using the implant processor. It is a matter of

preference, you can try it as soon as you get activated. I found that

the sound I was getting through my hearing aid in the unimmplanted ear

was far too distorted compared with the implanted ear sensations (it

was a frequency transposing hearing aid) and I was already stressed

out/confused by all the stimuli entering my brain at the same time, so

I decided then and there to ditch the hearing aid. I hated having the

ear molds, the itchiness, the feedback with the hearing aid. I don't

think I'll ever return to a hearing aid having known the benefits of a

cochlear implant for 9 months... the joy of hearing with an implant

alone is priceless. Two hearing aids, ugh. Lord knows how much I

have been missing all those years!

I've been wearing a hearing aid in my nonimplanted ear since my CI was

activated.

During the first two months following my activation I wore a digital hearing

aid. It allowed me to hear low frequencies and gave speech more of a natural

sounding quality.

Two months later I started having alot of difficulty localizing sound even

when my digital hearing aid was turned all the way up. I suspect this was

because my formerly " better " (nonimplanted) ear was becoming weaker

while my formerly " poorer " (implanted) ear was becoming stronger. (I could

have also lost more hearing, but I don't know for sure. My hearing hasn't

been tested since last summer.) From that point on, I switched to my analog

hearing aid and have been using it ever since.

,

You will have to find out from your insurance company if they cover weight loss surgery. If you donot have a BMI of 40 insurance companies will most likely not consider you a candidate even if they have coverage for the surgery. Call and find out.

To determine if you are a candidate for surgery we need to know your BMI, if you do not know it just send me your height and weight and I can tell you if you would qualify. If your BMI is in the category for surgery to be considered the doctor will have to learn more about to approve you for surgery.

Its my understanding that water conducts electricity so yes I suppose it

would soak up ambient EMR and EMFs... I have also heard that the levels

of Chi, Prana, whatever you want to call it, are higher just before it

rains, which would be helpful too. I think rain is a very healing

phenomenon - not sure why exactly - but there's always something we

don't know isn't there - and its exciting to go on a journey to find out

more.

Questions

I'd like to know if many of you feel better when it rains.

We just had a huge rain - for here - Alberta, four inches and I felt

great when it was raining. Does it take the electricity away from the

house?

Love to hear your comments.

Judy

[Guest guest]

Rainfall almost always makes me feel better, especially heavy rains.

I've noticed the energy in an area feels more " friendly " when it's

raining.

With respect to wireless and satellite transmissions, rain provides a

diminishment of signal due to signal scattering and absorption. It's

called " rain fade " or " rain attenuation " in the telecom sector, but I

call it wonderful! Anything that reduces the local microwave

pollution brings relief for me. Your recent heavy rain probably

dropped the wireless signal strengths down around you and could be one

reason you felt better.

Jen,

The only case of full blown pertussis I have seen was in a fully vaccinated

child... So... take that for what it is worth. :-) Also, we have had rubella

in a vaccinated child in our own family. I am so glad that she has life

long immunity now.

[Guest guest]

Yes, . You might notice that many kids who have been vaccinated for

chicken pox get it. My nephew is totallly vaxed and has 0 immunity for

pertussis (and non-vaxers get blamed for that one all the time). So being

immunized increases your chances of immunity (although usually temporary), but

does not guarantee it.

To elaborate on what Sheri said, on the flip side, vaccinations can also

overstimulate immunity in which case you not only have antibodies, you have

autoantibodies poised to create innumerable health problems through the

autoimmune disorders so many children mysteriously come down with. Inoculations

corrupt the immune system in one way or another. It ia a given.

So in other words you body is over protected to where it reacts (or

fights against) anything and everything. Over stimulating the body?

Kind of like an allergy?

Jen c

[Guest guest]

Here is a link from Sheri Nakken's website about " Questions about Effectiveness

of Vaccines " " ...basically what vaccines do is GIVE YOU A CHRONIC CASE OF THE

DISEASE and therefore you can't get an acute case of it because you already have

it - but a chronic form. A form that is always stimulating the immune system as

it has no way to leave the body. The disease is given by injecting into the

child/person - and then goes right into bloodstream - bypassing the normal route

of entry for the disease and the normal defense mechanisms that would be

activated before it reaches the deeper organs and tissues (which it reaches

right away with the vaccines). "

Read more about it here: http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm#chronic

Hi Jen,

Yes, more or less. An allergy is a perfect example of an autoimmune response. it

gets worse than that. While the part of the immune system that produces

antibodies is over responding, the other side that produces T-cells to gobble up

the virus that has been injected is suppressed disabling it from total

elimination; hence, the stealth virus is born.

Jen,

No, seriously, I shouldn't make light of it. It can be difficult to fathom.

Initially I declined inoculations because of the instinct we've all been talking

about today. Since then I have spent years trying to figure it out how the

process really works. Believe it or not it is only now beginning to really make

sense to me. Once you understand the immune system, everything else seems to

make more sense.

Right, Anita, and what I forgot to say in my haste to quiet down my toddler, is

that even if you have " partial amd temporary immunity " , it's never worth the

damage the crap in the shot will do to your child's body. And most people here

believe (although it's evident that I still struggle with this!) that the shot

doesn't do squat to protect you one bit. If your body, mind and spirit are

weakened due to stress, poor diet, etc... then your odds of contracting

something are greater. Similarly, if you eat well, practice proper hygiene, get

plenty of rest and live in a loving environment relatively free from stress, you

should be able to fight off most anything.

As most of these dear friends know, I'm pretty much of a basket case so I get

sick a lot. LOL Plus I've been poisoned with all the vaccines that were out in

the late 60's and early 70's plus boosters.

Rain also helps to improve the earthing/grounding of objects which might be

absorbing EM radiation. Trees are great for this! Sue feels so much less

aggravation when in our local woodland and lakes. Conversely, usrs of radio

equipment and satellite dishes have had to cut trees back to improve the signal.

Hello,

you are right with this observation that rain diminishes the ES symptoms. In

elektroacupuncture I can measure the biological negative effect of a mobile

phone. This disappears when i put a layer of water of at least 2 cm inbetween.

Taking a fruit from trees in the vicinity of phone masts and measuring them

in elektroacupuncture, they are charged negative. But taking a fruit from the

other side of the tree showing away from the phone mast, it is charged much

less negative. This is due to the water contained in the leaves, that absorbs

part of the radiation. Using a metallic shielding does not diminish the effect

in

electroacupuncture, but it is turned positive while without this shielding it

was negative. This strange behaviour only can be explained through the Tesla

waves found by Nikola Tesla around 1890.

But no one seems to draw the right conclusions out of this observation, they

ignore it or laugh at it and continue suffering from EMF.
