Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Tracie, Buy rice pasta, quinoa pasta, spelt pasta, etc., and eat to your heart's content. Just have it with what's good for O's, and stay away from the usual stuff. You can find this kind of stuff in health food stores.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Hi , These other kinds of grain pastas need some getting use to. They are an acquired taste (just as your wheat pastas were in the beginning when you were forming your own food lists as a child). But believe it or not, the more you eat them the more you will like them. Eat small amounts at first, then after about a year of eating the " other " pastas, they will taste most excellent to you. Good Luck and hang tough! aloha CB Hi Everyone!! I'm trying to change my eating habits to be more benificial. Unfortunately, I am an avid pasta eater. I bought some pasta made with rice flour in hopes that it would equal it's avoided cousin. Wow, was I wrong. It was not good at all. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Hi, Try spelt pasta, as a cousin to wheat the taste is similar and it cooks/holds up much better than rice pastas.The brand I use is called Vita Spelt, the color is darker than wheat but it's the only real difference I've noticed.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 Maureen, I was planning to try to contact Dr. Parisier this week about another matter. But I also know of someone that is a patient of his up in NY. My husband knows a couple whose grandson had a choclea (sp?) transplant done by him a while back. I will ask my husband to call them to see what he can find out. Good Luck! I'll update you as soon as we find something out. don't give up on seeing him -- I understand he's excellent. > just got back from my 10 year olds family care dr.(the dr that diagnosed cholesteatoma)I went to him because brian has had 4 surguries with 2 different specialists(????)they thought they got it all every surgury.he didn't want to see him again for 6 months . I felt his hearing was getting even worse,so talked to the family care dr about referring to another dr, he agrees good idea, although now he said after looking at his ear for me it has grown back quite large(from only 5 months ago) I wanted him to see this dr parisier in nyc but acording to his receptionist he dosn't except any insurance except medicare????????? i said you have got to be kidding???? I don't understand this???? does anyone know anything about this? please help,he sounds like a good dr,but the insurance thing ,,, now i'm not so sure,do you know anyone who has gone to him? I am in ny Thanks maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 I can only say good luck Rosie and my prayers are with you. I do not understand the medical system in USA but here in Australia your brother would be admitted to a public hospital probably immediately. Although you don't have a choice of surgeon the cost is covered by our Medicare system. Keep positive thoughts and it will be ok. Audrey Help! Hi everyone! I've been really busy and haven't had a chance to visit much, but have been trying to keep up by reading the digests as they arrive via email.I received this rather desperate email from a woman that visited my web site today:"hi my name is rosie mitchelll my brother is 38 years old he has been diagnosed with cholesteatoma its eaten a place in his skull the size of a large egg we are trying to get help for him with the surgery he has no insurance and has no way of paying he cant find anyone to finance it please if theres any help out there and you knwo of it please contact me 704-394-6929 his name is roy centers and he lives in texas his number is 940-549-2228 please help him if you can thank you so much rosie"I wrote back and told her I would post the email here, and that I would also contact Vinny's doctor to see if he knows anyone in Texas. If anyone in the group has names and addresses for qualified surgeons that may be able to help these people please send the information to me. I told her that I would write to and contact doctors on her brothers behalf since I am not in a position yet to help myself. Hopefully we'll be able to find a doctor in Texas with a big heart -- if not, maybe somebody else with a big heart that might be able to help with the bill. Sounds like he was another 'late' diagnosis!Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 Hi , I'm not sure about Texas. I know each state pretty much controls the medicare and uninsured problems. In PA an individual without insurance can get insurance through the state medicare system (at least my daughter was insured through the state medicare system until she could get a job with benefits). The insurance only covers urgent medical needs and you can select your own doctor. There also was a bill passed by our legislature that would help with uninsured/underinsured hospital expenses. The individual, not the hospital, had to apply for the assistance. This usually took place after the hospitalization. Texas should have some kind of " hotline " that Roy can call to get more information. If not, try calling the hospitals or the state insurance agency for ideas on how to get aid. Don't give up. The phone book should have " blue pages " for state and federal agencies that could provide help. There may also be nonprofit organizations that will assist. What about the doctor that diagnosed him? Doesn't he/she have any ideas about where aid can be received? If the c-toma is as bad as it sounds, Roy needs help now. I wish I could help more but advice is the only thing I can give you.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 Hi , Larry and I still owe over $3500 from his first surgery in December of 1999. After that we qualified for the Oregon Health Plan. Prior to his 3rd and 4th surgeries, I had to quit my job and Larry had to cut down to less than half time to qualify for any assistance. I wish there was an easier way. I mean, what do you do, not have the surgery and wait????? I am afraid this may be the story for the rest of my life, considering how aggressive c-toma is. Larry has an appointment on Tuesday the 30th, and I am just dreading it. I hope this person is able to find help easier than what we had to do. Michele > Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 One of the other group members (sorry, I've forgotten who) suggested a research hospital which I believe is an excellent idea. I've done some research and I found many sites that may be of help. I have listed a few at the end of this message. Try contacting any (or all of these), do additional research, and contact the representative for your district. Perhaps parishioners at your brothers church can offer some ideas or suggestions. Someone should be able to point you in the right direction. Use whatever means you can think of to get information on medical assistance. If all else fails, your brother can probably get a second mortgage on his home to pay for the surgery. Please don't send the x-rays to anyone. They are only needed by the medical community.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Hi Connie, That is some excellent information for healthcare in the state of Texas. Looks like I need to compile information like this on each state so that newly diagnosed people have some resources on this site for their particular state. Any idea on how to make this easier on me? What sort of search string did you use. I could use it for each of the 50 states. Boy, I'm starting to feel like I'm getting overwhelmed with all of the things I would like to gather for this site, but I am determined. Rosie's friend seems to be going through what we went through the first time. It shouldn't be that way.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Rosie, We had no insurance when my husband was first diagnosed. We were fortuneate enough to find a physician that would work with us financially, and got a grant from the hospital that covered the hospital costs only. Physician and anethesiologist we are still paying - sometimes only $10/mo. A nurse practioner diagnosed my husband and then contacted the doctor and explained our situation. Good luck and please keep us informed.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 Michele, I used " healthcare in Texas " as my search string. Perhaps the Health Department in each state government could provide information. Also, most phone books have " blue pages " that lists individual offices under the Health Department. I believe compiling data for all 50 states will be an overwhelming task for one individual. I suggest that, if you have the time, you list eligibility requirements for Medicare/Medicaid and provide a link to individual state Health Departments. This way, you can provide valuable information in less time and each participant can seek out the information they need.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 I agree with -- That is definitely information that needs to be made available, and easily accessible. I will start compiling information to have on my web site as well. I haven't had a lot of time to update it recently, but hopefully after the next few weeks I'll have more time and will be able to make a lot of additions and changes. ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the really smart ones among us, I believe that most of us are here because we've been in a similar place healthwise. I have also come to believe that our diet effects our health far more than I ever thought. The diet will, at least, make her feel better. Being 44, she might also look at things like hair dye, meds, and other items that might be putting toxins into her. The doctors will treat her pain and throw pills at her.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 This sounds like menopause, fibroid tumors or endometriosis. Many people do not know that aching joints can be a symptom of the hormonal changes that occur in our bodies as we get older. Weight gain is also common as ladies go through this stage of life. Though she is technically " young " to be going through menopause, women go through it as early as in their thirties. The painful periods are a concern, however, and she should see a GYN who is not " knife-happy " for a full evaluation, hormone panel including cortisol levels, and ultra-sound. Fibroid tumors and endometriosis are painful, and could be leaving her with lowered iron levels and a toxic body. Going off of the pill could mean that her progesterone levels are low, too, which can also cause fibroid tumors to develop. A good book for her to read is by Dr. R. Lee, called WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT PRE-MENOPAUSE. He also has a book that is called WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT MENOPAUSE, but I like the first book I mentioned better. It took me awhile to find a doctor who understood the principles Dr. Lee presented, and who practiced them, but once I did, I have been much healthier! Of course, I do believe that she will feel better if she learns her blood type and adopts a diet consistent with her needs. Lectins which build up in our bodies can create arthritic conditions, as well as other health problems. I hope this is helpful to both of you. I am speaking from personal experience, not theory. Best wishes, Carrol donnamae58@... wrote: A good friend of mine, let's just say her name is..Monika, has e-mailed me about alarming health issues she is having. She does not understand why this is happening to her: FYI she is 44 years old, probably 50 lbs overweight, but works out a lot so is a very " fit " looking person, though pretty big. She also is not on the blood type diet, I do not know her blood type. She eats a very well balanced diet, no junk, few sweets, lots of veggies and water, but probably very high in grain type carbs (breads, pasta). She recently went off the pill, and has been having cramps so bad she ends up crying on the floor (and this is a pretty tough cookie!) She repeatedly gets colds, which turn into major chest colds that she can't shake for weeks. She is now getting terrible pains in her shoulders and upper arms. She has been to the doctor, does not have arthritis, yet Jointritis is the only thing that gives her relief. She believes these issues to be all unrelated, her doctor has no idea of what is going on either. I think they must be related, she must have a systemic issue of some sort or another. Any ideas what could be going on, who should I refer her to, and could this be an " Adrenal Fatigue " issue? I am seeing her tonight, will find out her blood type, and talk to her about ER, but I think her issues go beyond diet. She is really suffering. I hope someone out there can help!

Hi, I am an O Secretor and wonder if any of you out there have any remedies for not only treating mosquito bites but also for preventing getting them!!! I would appreciate any help you may be able to offer Thanks Carolyn -- This message has been scanned by AVMail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I can't recall the reason why, but it sure does reduce ones sugar level. Bodybuilders have known about it and have used it successfully. Re: Help!

I have heard that taking B vitamins will help keep mosquitoes away. I don't know if that is true or not.

Yeah, the blood-sugar levels turn 'em on. B-vitamins, from what I've heard the B1 in a large dose works well. From my experience it is legit. Wanna tease the Minnesota State Bird? Eat a banana before... although the mighty nutritious banana has B vitamins it will make you the most popular mammal on the block! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Here is what I found on Heidi's column. " Here's an email message sent to me deep in the heart of West Nile Virus mosquito land, aka Louisiana: " It's about that time folks--so thought I'd send out this reminder!!!! OK, mosquitos...prepare to be repelled!!!!! Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets...Best thing ever used in Louisiana..just wipe on & go...Great for Babies Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day April through October . He said it works. He was right. Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it. Every one he has talked into trying it works on them. Vitimin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.) If you eat bananas, the mosquitos like you, - something about the banana oil as your body processes it. Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitos will be much less interested. This is going to floor you, but one of the best insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods every day), is Vick's Vaporub. Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off a smell that bugs do not like, so plant some in that garden also to help ward off bugs without using insecticides. " tough guy " Marines who spend a great deal of time " camping out " say that the very best mosquito repellant you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about half and half with alcohol. One of the best natural insect repellants that I've discovered is made from the clear real vanilla. This is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico. It works great for mosquitoes and ticks, don't know about other insects. When all else fails--get a frog! " I take a huge multi-mineral-and-vitamin supplement everyday (includes B1), and I'm not much bothered by mosquitoes, although I don't go out of my way to be out when they're out. Shay " -- " Hi Heidi, To add to the mosquito question...on a local radio talk show (which I missed part of)on West Nile virus, a lady phoned in to say that if you take brewer's yeast mosquitoes don't like the taste of your blood. At my nearest health food store, she was sold out of it that week! she added that any B vitamin will also work. Anyone else heard of this? Jayne " The last one also goes along with what said. And people in this small town farming area that I'm in say if yo get the Avon Skin So Soft with the bug repellent in it, that will keep the bugs away. --- Original Message ----- From: " & Carolyn Hart " <twoharts@...> < > Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 7:08 AM Subject: Help! > Hi, > > I am an O Secretor and wonder if any of you out there have any remedies for > not only treating mosquito bites but also for preventing getting them!!! > > > > I would appreciate any help you may be able to offer > > > > Thanks > > Carolyn > > -- > This message has been scanned by AVMail. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
