Hi Group,

Who's Troy? (And I don't mean " Helen of " )

[Guest guest]

I don't think it's safe to open anything from Troy. We get all sorts of

e-mails from this source, and many of them are from cyber-places I don't

want my kids going. I'm pretty sure he is related to Helen, and I suspect

he has a very large, mischevious horse!

Hello Pepi

Not a stupid question at all. Just got rid of some myself, but I don't

usually make it public! I thought I could get away with just throwing out

the opened packets, but the little b.....s hide in places you can't see,

just like spirochetes! They had even eaten into unopened sachets and sealed

plastic bags. The only way is to throw out everything, in ALL the

cupboards, yes, ALL of them, and then disinfect and keep every item of food

stuff in sealed hard plastic containers with labels on - for ever. Food

keeps better like that anyway. They seem to reproduce best in dried, wheat

or grain products in my experience. For someone with lyme, or any other

disabling chronic condition, keeping food like this anyway, saves an awful

lot of wasted effort when preparing meals - things are easier to find and

access, and there is less cleaning round to do, which I am always glad

about. Of course only the best homes get weevils!

Take care - Sheila

[Guest guest]

Thank You Sheila, I was afraid someone was going to suggest throwing

everything out and starting over This cupboard is 8' t and 4' wide,

and FULL to the max. Oh well! Thanks again Pepi

In Pasadena, Texas there was recently a case where a woman living in well to do

area, in a nice brick home, who kept her yard neatly trimed and her house

looking beautiful....all that, except for a darkened back room where she kept

her autistic son in filth and with nothing but a mattress. No one besides her

knew that he was there. He was kept naked all day. He got injured somehow in

his leg and the leg became infected because she didn`t take him to the doctor.

He died from starvation and infection. She did call the paramedics, but he was

already dead. She wanted her privacy. She didn`t want anyone to come into her

house to help her son. If someone had known about this going on and had called

the authorities, he would be alive today. We need to speck up when action is

needed. Albert d701@...

Hi my name is Vicki Lowery mom of 5 year old who has autism. That is

on e of the most disturbing stories I have ever heard of dealing with child

abuse and neglect. I was in tears reading it. Please tell me that monster of

a woman was given a life sentence?? When did this happen to that poor child??

I agree, people need to speak up when they feel something is not right, or

when something is definetly going on thats wrong. We all need to protect

these children if their own parents dont and do not take care of them. Please

as a nation lets protect our children. Dont ignore if you feel something is

wrong. The worst thing about this story is the child was helpless, and unable

to defend himself, or tell someone. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING THAT HAPPENED TO

HIM!!! Everyone please spread the word on noticing whats going on in this

world with child neglect and abuse. God forbid anyone would ever hurt my

child and I had to find out on my own because he couldnt express himself and

tell me, I cant even explain what I would do!!! God bless...

I believe I have read, too, that a lack of essential fatty acids can also

result in itchy skin.

Hi Cooky,

Flax seed would be just fine for her to take while pregnant. It's a very

healthy food item for everyone to have in their diet. I'd also advise her

to eat smaller meals more frequently, avoid anything too fatty or spicy and

not to lie down for at least a couple of hours after eating.

Hugs

Hi Cooky,

Is your daughter drinking her eight glasses of water a day? That usually

helps with reflux.

Thanks . Her eye is still swollen today. I feel so bad. It was the 1

bookshelf we missed when anchoring. Thank goodness it just had light things

on it. The bad thing is she didn't learn anything. A few hours after

getting home she was climbing on top of the kitchen counters. I just hope

her story prevents it from happening to others.

I take three milligrams at bedtime and find it is very helpful. I also avoid all caffeine after noon and have very little in the morning as well. Melatonin is effective within 15 to 30 minutes of taking it, and is effective the first night. You can use it to "train" yourself to fall asleep better. It doesn't MAKE you sleep, it encourages natural sleep.

[low dose naltrexone] OFF topic

Is there anyone here on melatonin and if so how many mgs do you take and how long did it take to start working? I took some last night and it (sublingual melatonin) had the effect of sucking on a mint Approx. had 1 1/2 hrs sleep last night and am desperate to improve that.Kathy H.

[Guest guest]

Thanks for responding . Guess I'll have to pursue something else

cause it didn't work for me. There is effexor that did work; actually

just made me feel very normal, mood wise, less anxiety and a fairly

good sleep. Just didn't want to go the pharmaceutical route

again....but sometimes its needed.

I checked this out at snopes.com and have pasted in a short excerpt from

their detailed explanation and opinion about the warning. For more info, go

to http://www.snopes.com/

Ellen

(FROM SNOPES.COM):

The item quoted above is another example of a " crime warning " message that

is difficult to classify as either true or false. The scenarios it describes

are possible, and someone, somewhere, might very well have been victimized

by them, but on the other hand the message provides no details of time,

place, or person, to use in verifying these tales, and the scenarios

proffered are generally too implausible to be of much legitimate concern to

the average person.

[Guest guest]

Cooky, I hope you don't think I was being critical of you for sending this.

Not at all. But I thought a check at one of the " urban legend " sites would

be good. (I've been criticized by personal contacts in the past for not

checking something out and I ended up with egg on my face, so that's why I'm

careful now. But I did send it on to my personal list.) As the blurb on

snopes.com points out, it's probably an awakening to a lot of people to keep

tabs on their credit cards and not be careless with them. I appreciated the

alert, to tell you the truth, and I'm sure everyone else did too. Thanks!
