Guest guest Posted December 11, 1999 Report Share Posted December 11, 1999 Greetings, all, Oh dear. I'm sure my looong, off-topic posting must have had something to do with Dusan posting the list guidlines. I do get going sometimes and I apologize. Suzanne, DO let me know if your doctor agrees to have your stones analyzed! I'm most eager to take some of mine to my doctor for that purpose, assuming I manage to do the flush successfully. It's just in my curious nature to what to know stuff like that. Yesterday I took my puppy to the vet with conjuctivitis and Bob (the vet) took a sample of Robbie's eye goop and stained it for me and we looked at it under the microscope. It was fascinating, leukophages eating up the cocci (but not fast enough, alas) and other stuff. I continue to think that analyzing stones would enable me to speak to the local medicos in their own language. I mean, it would be rather irrefutable evidence, wouldn't it? So, if she does agree to do an analysis, please let me know the results, if you feel okay about that. You can send them to me privately if you prefer. Thanks for the lemon juice in the Epsom salts tip, by the way. Anything to help get it down. I'm probably going to do my first cleanse this week. My sweetie has to get me more apple juice. I don't think a half gallon will do it. Slainte to all and my apologies again if I've offended anyone. This list is great and I certainly don't mean to be its token bull in the china shop.

Dusan´s posting had nothing to do with you, I can assure you. None of your postings to this list have been off-topic in any way. > I continue to think that analyzing stones would enable > me to speak to the local medicos in their own > language. I mean, it would be rather irrefutable > evidence, wouldn't it? I think that the probable outcome of such a test would be that they say that the stones are NOT gallstones. Especially if they know how the person got the stones out. I think that trying to convince MDs that the liver cleanse works and is a better alternative than removing the gallbladder, is a waste of time. It is better to spend one´s time convincing one´s friends, relatives and acquaintances that the liver cleanse is a good thing to do. That is often very easy to do, and by doing that you will change their life, and health, forever. Best regards, Ulf ulftage@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2000 Report Share Posted January 24, 2000 Good Morning Rochelle: I have IBS and I found relief when I read the book Eat Right 4 Your Type. Not only did I get relief from pain but I took off 15 pounds in a month. What we don't realize is a lot of these foods we eat are poisins to our body. I found this book to be full of knowledge in regard to the history and the diet for your blood type. I wish you well.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2000 Report Share Posted February 17, 2000 Hi Kent, I hate when a Dr. says " oh its probably just nothing. " If it bothers you that much I would keep searching for an answer. Best wishes, Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Thanks to both of you for responding. I also went to the Thyrodine web site and noticed one of the symptoms on the list is 'strange feelings in neck or throat' I feel better seeing it on paper. And yes, I'll definitely keep searching for an answer. It sounds like I should start with a new Doctor. And if anyone else has suffered through this and found treatment that works, PLEASE let me know! Thanks again, Kent > From: SHARingME2@... > > Hi Kent, > > I hate when a Dr. says " oh its probably just nothing. " If it bothers you > that much I would keep searching for an answer.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2000 Report Share Posted June 3, 2000 Dear Majorie: Your white blood cell count should be somewhere between 4-6,000. If you get an infection, usually bacterial, your body tries to compensate by increasing your white blood cells, to fight whatever you have. In the case of medications for cancer, and many viruses, the medication will surpress your white blood cell count. If you were not HCV positive, the lowering of your counts could be dangerous because you lose the ability to fight routine infactions. But, although you are at more risk for infection, you are taking medication that the body naturally produces to help in the fight. Everyone on the combo therapy experiences lower red and white cell counts. Its not the greatest, but also nothing to worry about at this point. The general rule is that as long as you don't show any other signs or symptoms of infection, and try to stay healthy, as long as your white count is between 1 and 8-9, (thousands), you just watch it. Hopefully, you'll stabilize soon, but expect that you will probably run between 1.5-3,000 while on therapy. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 I think if any of us spent the millions of dollars that Gore (and Bush) spent on this campaign, and it came down to a difference of 200 some votes, you would be interested in those other 19,000 votes. This has never been an issue before because there has never been an election this close........I'm tired of Gore getting bashed for this when we all know damn well Bush would be doing the same. The only reason the votes are being counted to begin with has nothing to do with Gore....it is Florida LAW. Aside from this, though, they aren't even interested right now in those 19,000 votes. All the democrats want is a count on the votes that weren't thrown out. We all realize the overseas votes are not all in either so let's all (meaning the nation) sit back, relax and wait to see what the final count is.......NEXT WEEK.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 AMEN! From: FWB@... Subject: Re: Re: [NetWits] Gently political Okay, I can't be quiet ANY LONGER!!! I certainly agree with Granny - if the voters don't know where to punch the hole, they shouldnt be voting! BUT...the ballots ARE legal in the state of Florida. There are different rules for " color in the oval " ballots and the " electronic " ballots. These ballots were approved by the Democrats, the Republicans, and the proper state officials - the lady in charge of the voting in the county in question is Democrat!! There were fewer votes for Buchanan in that county this time than there were in 1996. There were MORE ballots thrown out this time than there were in 1996 more more people voting also. And do we know how many of the ballots thrown out were thrown out because of a presidential mistake? could there be some that were improperly punched for local elections as well as improperly punched for state elections? Every county has ballots thrown out because individuals don't take the time to acquaint themselves with the ballot. In Florida, all sample ballots were printed in the newspapers PLUS mailed to each individual registered voter!! I say - count the ballots that were properly executed and let the world continue!!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 I agree and have been wanting to say that. Of course, Bush would be hollering if it was the other way. Bush said that Gore should bow out, but since Gore has evidently won the popular vote nationally why doesn't Bush be a gentlemen and bow out . We know neither one will do that. I'm just so sick of the whole thing. And if any of you think Bush would support anything that would help our kids I have a nice bridge for sale. Cheap.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 I was listening to Public Radio (an incredible program from Boston called " The Connection " ) and they said that the person who won the popular vote and the electoral vote have been different twice in US history. Both times were in the 1800s.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hi Connie I have not had knee replacements but have had both hips replaced at different times. I can certainly relate to being so scared.....I was terrified before the first one. However, I was so limited and the pain so bad that it was time to do something. Both surgeries were so worth it.....they gave me my life back. Good luck and I'm confident you'll be glad you did it. Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hi, I just found this site. I'm going in for surgery August 26th for a total knee replacement. I am so scared. You hear so many horror stories that it really does a job on you. I'm 52 and I have done the shots and have gone through the process. I WORK FULL TIME SO IM REALLY HOPING this will be the right choice for me. Some days I can hardly make it through the day. My doctor said I will probally be out of work for 6 to 8 weeks. I would really love to hear from people that have already been through it with some kind words of wisdom. Take care. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie I just went through it last week (8/4). The operation was on Monday AM and I was making my first pass in a walker on Tuesday AM. There was significant pain but meds have helped that a lot. On Thursday AM I was discharged and sent home. By pushing the PT and the motion machine, I am up to 105 degrees ROM and walking about the house on a single crutch. The pain is easy to handle and most of the time is less that what it was before. I am pushing to be driving next week and hope to be back in the shop soon. I researched as much as possible before hand and had many good questions for the doctor so I had no real worries. I researched the doctor and had nothing but good reviews on him so that helped the confidence. I have been told by several that he is the best in town and several PT people told me that he is only one in the area they would trust. The only major problem I have is that I have read through most of my books. There was a big stack just for the time but that is now a small stack so a trip to the library is in order. TV is just too stupid to spend any time with. Awl Knotted Up - Custom woodworking Don Bowen donb@...
