Guest guest Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Hi Kari, Welcome to the group! We have a member here, Christi that got Tricare to pay for her daughter's band. I emailed her, I'm sure she'll reply to your post soon. It is usually best to get an authorization or a denial from the ins company before you go. If you don't follow their procedure, they will deny you on those grounds. If you call your Cranial Tech office they will tell you what you need to do. At 5 months she still has time. Even if she gets banded at 6-7 months you will still see some really good correction!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 Kari- I'm sure Christy will reply to your post. She got Tricare to pay for her daughter's two bands. My brother runs the home office for a US Congressman and has caseworkers who work with constituents with Tricare issues all the time. You might want to call your Congressman's home office in addition to doing as Christy suggests. Cranial Tech can help you with your insurance. If you ahven't been there for your consult yet, I would suggest getting in touch with them too. My son was banded from 5-8 months. He had moderate plagio with significant facial and ear asymmetry. He looks great today. You would never know he had any problems. You should see some great improvement. Good luck with your insurance fight!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 The majority of your symptoms is also adrenal insufficiency or fatigue especially when you present with advance conditions of this disease such as lupus. If you are hashimoto's you have autoimmune thyroid disease and this is usually the case as well. If you are not hashimoto's than your CFS could be the cause of your diseased state. So you will have to treat that as well. And yes you can be all of the above-- CFS, hashimoto's and thyroid disease with adrenal involvement. Getting on the correct hormones, vitamins, diet is a MUST--- You can join our group and start reading posts and links/files. your symptoms are typical of our posters!!!! you are not alone!!!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 The parasite cleanse immediately relieved my 'fibromyalgia'- I wonder if I was misdiagnosed (for over 6 yrs)- pain all over. All the symptoms have been gone for over 4 years because of my coming across Dr. Hulda and maintaining gallstone removal and paracleanses. When I started the first paracleanse, my extreme 'fibromyalgia' pains (shoulder, leg, ab, hips); instead of hurting, it kind of itched. It was great to feel this instead of the pains! I was in bad shape, couldn't move sometimes- docs thought m.s.; sometimes I couldn't brush my hair or even feed myself without shaking the food off the fork. This protocol has helped me immensely, I don't shake anymore, I can stand on my right leg, which I couldn't before, boils disappeared, insomnia gone, bowels regular, migraines gone, everything the doctors linked to fibromyalgia, to my belief, the gallstones and junk were causing all the pains. Somewhere, Dr links shoulder pains and alot of the pains fms cause, she says the stones can cause. Life has changed so much for me, the change of lifestyle is worth it, the grody consumption of oils, worth it- I believe that the small pebbles and sands of gallstones accumulate, and each time I flush, a few expel at a time. The epsolm salts keep them from getting stuck...and it will take years to rid them all. Each person is different, so always follow your heart. Reading is the best answer- read everything- all....
