Keep in mind that whether you're using city water or well water it's best to boil the water for a few minutes even if you intend to cool it to use for sun tea. For city water this gives it a chance to throw off chlorine and for well water this will insure any bacteria is killed that could affect the culture. As for slimey tea, this indicates there was significant yeast activity which probably caused a greater degree of bubbles in the second batch which makes the culture lumpy and holey. The clearing of the tea occurs toward the end of the activity when the yeast bloat or die off, sinking to the bottom. All of this is natural and all of this can be controlled to a fair degree.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 For BFL purposes, you shouldn't change your set rep/pattern just because you're on a machine. If you can do several sets of 20 reps it means your weight is much too light. You're missing out on those heavy and challenging sets of 6 and 8 along with the high-point where you switch exercises. It's normal for the muscles to fatigue differently when you change exercises or change the order. That's the reason you switch things up at least every 4 weeks. You see more dramatic results because the muscles are doing something they're not used to.

For instance I swapped up which machines first, not doing the same muscle first each time. From what I had written down, toward the end of the workout the last reps, I noticed I couldn't do the same weight with the same reps. Now if I had done that exercise FIRST I truly believe with no fatigue there would not have been a problem. Does this make sense? Am I right to swap up which upper body exercise I do first?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Misty hi. My name is Ursula and I have a 9 yr old daughter with CVID (Common Variable Immune Deficiency). CVID is a combination of antibody deficiency, IgG deficiency and/or IgA/IgM deficiency. She has received IgG replacement since she was 2 1/2. Except for a brief year off at 4 yrs old to retest her system. Since August she has taken the IgG by subcutaneous route under her skin in her stomach. She does this weekly in smaller amounts. She had a port in the beginning but lost it to infection. Plus several central lines and PICC lines. She's done well over the last 2 years except for 1 chest infection. She has some Endocrine and GI issues which right now aren't being linked to her PID but who knows. Welcome and feel free to jump in and ask any questions.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Welcome to the group, Misty! The first few months looking for and getting the diagnosis are always hard. Anytime you need to kick, scream, cry, stamp your feet or simply vent, this is a great place to do it. Do they know if Jake's condition is permanent, or is there still a chance that it is due to a slow to mature immune system? My son has X-linked Hyper IgM Syndrome (no IgG or IgA). He takes daily antibiotics, allergy and asthma (though he doesn't have asthma) medications. Prophylactic medications are pretty commonly used for the IgA deficiency as IVIG does not replace the IgA. Sam was on IVIG from 1998 til January of this year, when we switched to Subq method of infusion. Do call the Immune Deficiency Foundation. They have lots of good info that will help you, including a phone number for use by physicians of children with primary immune deficiency. (I have a sheet of paper that lists that number, as well as all of Sam's doctors and the various medications he is on that I take with me on trips to ER, since they don't often run into immune deficiencies.) If you have any specific questions, ask away. There is a wealth of information contained in these moms. Those that learned the hard way would love to make it easier on the " newbies " . God bless, Wenoka (Mom to AMY - 10, wants to be 18 / Sam - 8, Hyper IgM / Christi - 4, attitude disorder) Hello Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself..my name is Misty and I am the mother of 2 Rylee is 7 and in perfect health and then I have Jake age 3 and he was diagnosed with Selective Antibody Defiencey in Nov. His IGA levels were almost nonexistent. He has been undergoing IVIg every two weeks since Nov and in January he had to have a Port put in. All of this is new to me since my daughter is so healthy! I really do not know much about his condition so if anyone could shed some light on it for me it would be great!! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 HI! We still are not certain wether Jake's condition is permanent or not we are hoping not but will deal with it if it is. He is doing so well on the IVIg. Jake has been sick since literally the day he was born from the operating room he was taken to the nursery for an IV of antibiotics and fluids and put under an oxygen tent..from there things got worse. He is only 3 and he has had sinus surgery 3 times tubes in the ears 2 times a PICC Line a Port and NUMEROUS to many to count..hospitalizations, that have lasted a week or more at the time. All of this is not even counting all the test he has been put through in ton at the Medical Univ(the PH Probe was awful). We have a wonderful Immunologist along with other Drs. So far he is responding well to the IVIg he has only had two Sinus infections since Nov which is great for us!! they were pretty nasty ones though. Thanks for welcoming me and I look forward to becoming friends with all of you it really helps to know that there is someone in the same boat as my family and that their are people here who understand what we are going through. Jake is a trooper though!! Thanks again! > Welcome to the group, Misty! > > The first few months looking for and getting the diagnosis are always hard.

This is . Mom to Blake (we met at teh clinic on Friday). Hopie Jake is having a great week. It was nice to meet you & hear your story!!! We can sympathize with you as far as the testing, Ph Probe & finding out what is actually going on with your little one. Blake is a very complicated boy with a medical book all of his own(seems like). Although he is completely homebound, he is a very bright child. He has his Aspie moments & then again you would never guess he has the " issues " he has to deal with on a daily basis. (mom to Blake, 13....CVID with Complete T-Cell Dysfunction...15Grams IVIG every 2 weeks, Asthma, GERD, Asperger's Syndrome(Autism), ADHD, Sensory Motor Skills Delays, A rare Blood clotting disorder, Loves to read......Hates Math....thinks he is 21 yrs. old!!!!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > Welcome to the group, Misty! > > > > The first few months looking for and getting the diagnosis are > always hard.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hi Misty, Welcome to the group. It's amazing the information that you can acquire here. My name is Janet and we have an 8 year old with XLA. He was diagnosed at 5 and he gets infusions every 4 weeks. The difference with IVIG is amazing. We are not totally normal (you can tell when he is running out of juice that last week) but he is soooooooo much better than he was. It sounds like your little guy has been through a lot in his short life. Most of the moms here can relate. This is a great place just to lurk and pick up info or vent and get ideas. We understand. Janet - mom to 8 years old - XLA. Also mom to some others - (the teenage girls I chose not to claim as mine at the moment.)

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Dear Misty I don't think I said hi yet, I am also new to this group and have been so busy that I haven't said Hi to the other newbies. So Hi to all I may have missed. My Son has a similar diagnosis, he is five. We have five children total, two who are chronically sick. Our baby is 14 months and undergoing testing due to infections and currently has cellulitis of his finger, not a good sign. Anyway these children's bodies don't make immunoglobulins, a protein that fights off infection. For some reason or another their system has a defect in the immune system, this is why they get ill often. IVIG replaces IGG so they can have a better chance at staying healthy. How is Jake doing now that he gets IVIG? He is staying healthy and tolerating it well? Please feel free to email me personally, if you would like I could give you my phone # if you want to talk more in depth about this illness, what I said above is pretty basic. ajunes@... Another great resource is the Primary immune Deficiency foundation and they would be helpful also with any questions you may have. wwwprimaryimmune.org or 1-800-296-4433 Take care Amy Junes Hello > >Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself..my name is >Misty and I am the mother of 2 Rylee is 7 and in >perfect health and then I have Jake age 3 and he was >diagnosed with Selective Antibody Defiencey in Nov. >His IGA levels were almost nonexistent.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hola Eva! I don't know if i qualify, but I'm mexican/belgian, living in Barcelona, (although I'm moving to Brussels in 2 weeks). I have a 6year old ASD girl and a 3 NT girl. My (6) is practically out of the spectrum, we're thrilled. Welcome to the group. Careful with the dmps if you have serious candida because you might not see the good things if the yeast gets out of control. When you are moving metals they are excreted via urine and yes, caca! and yeast looves good food. Also make sure you have very correct mineral levels because dmps not only moves mercury but zinc, and magnesium (among others). Chelation is no " simple " therapy, be careful. We got a big scare with dmsa with mine (she went temporarily blind) and it was only thanks to Owens in Sulfur stories that the blindness was temporary... So I take chelation VERY seriously.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Eva, Did you know there was a Spanish speaking autism group? I think it's something like autismo mercurio on the . Eva, I think it's great you are on this list. The autism problem is finally breaking the language barriers! I lived in Germany for twenty years and noone knows of the autism mercury connection there. I hope Kirby will translate his book into German, French, Spanish and Chinese so that we get all the bases covered. Hello Hello,Sorry, my english is pathetic...My name is Eva. We live in Spain. Our child (born may 2002) is in the ASD. We have a girl too(born sept 2000), she's NT.We have started with TD DMPS last week-end; we have'nt tell it our DAN! doctor for the moment, because she considers previously it's necessary to apply the diet for the candida during several month. She displease me, but there's not another one here:-( I would like to know if there's also someone from Spain in this group.Thanks,Eva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickly go back through the posts ( " Messages " ) in this group regarding adrenal tumors, their diagnosis and whether they are creating your condition. It is sometimes the cure to take out a gland. But at least half he time, it is not, and you end up back where you started, or worse. The wrong meds are often prescribed, actually lengthening or worsening the condition. Dr Grim, our adviser, is expert on these matters, although he is a little busy right now, you can see his comments about the necessity of adrenal venous sampling with ACTH stimulation, low sodium diet and spironolactone 2-week tests, and other things prior to surgery. Don't rely on bloodwork, 24 hr urines and CT scan only. His " evolution " piece is in the files section, along with some other stuff that has saved many of us from common medical ignorance. The alarming thing is most doctors are completely unaware of this well established Dx method. I am studying the phenomenon now, and finding what is regarded as " common medical industry opinions " which rely on water cooler and golf course gossip rather than checking the facts. You will also (in messages) find his list of questions about your history, and current meds, etc. Answer those asap, and send to him at lowerbp2@...

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hi, I don't know what data you refer to. Yes, with amazingly familiar-sounding problems. Could you explain this reference?
