Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hi Marti, she needs to see a gastorenterologist. White stools typically indicate no bile (which has a drak pigment) in the stool. This may be caused by the liver issues, and/or gallbaldder disorders. Some forms of liver degeneration respond very well to a combination of milk thistle, lipoic acid, selenium methionine and other supplements. Blake Weird question Hi all, I had a conversation with my cousin today about about health issues and I found out that she has white stools and the Dr's are stumped. Has anyone here had issues with that or know the cause? She has liver and heart issues so her stools rotate in color between normal, bloody(black) then white. She has tried to figure out a pattern between how she feels or what she has eaten but no pattern has emerged. Any ideas? Blessings, Marti Z.

This jives with the symptoms she mentioned - pain on right side, poor digestion, stool color. This will help her tremendously.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Marti That is called the startle effect. I used to experience it regularly. mjh " The Basil Book " _http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/_ (http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/) Posted by: " marti_zavala " _marti_zavala@... _ (mailto:marti_zavala@...?Subject=Re: weird%20question) _marti_zavala _ (marti_zavala) Sat Oct 7, 2006 3:33 am (PST) What is the name or cause of the jerking motions or jumping when falling asleep. I am not talking about restless leg syndrome, it is more of an overall body thing. Like waking up with a start but it happens when you are about to fall asleep. I used to call it " the sizzles " because it felt like electric sizzles down my limbs and in my torso. I would like to get to the bottom of this and take supplements to protect my brain or nerve endings. I think it must be neurological.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi Marti, I get it too, but I don't iknoe the name. I also have the 'arms shooting out sideways, as if falling over backwards reflex'. Do you have this too? It's he same as newborns have,I've forgotten the name, they're supposed to loose it in the first few months of life. It's often occurs in dyspraxia, but my reading doesn't mention re-aquiring it in adulthood. I was speaking with a mother of an Autistic boy with a different reflex that should be lost in the first months of life. He's had a therapy that involves running a paintbrush down his spine. he lost the reflex and aquired much improved balance, co-ordination and motor function. She's trying to find the details for me. > > What is the name or cause of the jerking motions or jumping when > falling asleep.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi Marti I don't usually have the energy to post but just wanted to tell you my perfectly well partner does this and that is exactly as he describes it. It is very annoying because he wakes me up most nights doing it! If you come up with anything let me know. Is it more of a guy thing for example?

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 , Foxhillers says it is the startle syndrome and yes, it is just like the newborn reflex. I had this problem when I first got sick and it is starting to resurface again along with other things that had gone away. Currently, my balance is off to the left rear only. If I start walking, I feel as if I am going to fall to the left rear. It is more whole body rather than just arms. I would be interested in the treatment you mentioned. Keep me posted if you can.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Marti! Hi! I have this jerking problem too! I usually get it in my head though. Just as you start to relax it hits. The head jerks! I read somewhere that it is part of MCS. I don't recall having had it in a while, but when it starts i usually get it really bad.

I searched sleep myoclonus and this seems to fit. If you are having this problem at times other than sleeping then you could have myoclonus (without the subset " sleep myoclonus " ) or what mentions above.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 , I would definitely throw it all out and find another scoby and always keep a back up under tight seal. Your bottle scoby that is somewhere, is that your raw brew? If it is you can make another scoby out of it. Do your routine cleaning and pour your raw kt in a jar and cover it like you would brew a batch. In a week or so, you should have a baby and you can use that and the fluid to make a new brew. Good Luck! P > > > I went away and left my kt scobies in strong KT in > > the cabinet, in the > > glass jar, with the cloth held down by a rubber > > band.
