Guest guest Posted March 8, 2000 Report Share Posted March 8, 2000 You can also get solorized sea salt in the water softener section. Mortons sells it. I was a Sams last night and they had a $40 lbs bag for 2.99. Just make sure it's just salt not a rust remover type.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 Hi everyone, I sent the article off to Bud with Chances' picture....Maybe this can be an idea for other CMTERS' to do especially ones with kids call your local paper and tell them about what is going on with your kids or even yourself and ask them if they would enlighten their readers about this disease....This may be a good way to get CMT out more into the public view....It is definately a start here in Northwest Indiana. Have a great day everyone!! CSCluv** http://community.webtv.net/cat926/CATHYSCOOLCATCORNER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 I hope this helps, copied it from one of my sites: Essential Oils and Absolutes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Essential oils are pure, natural oils extracted from fresh plants. They are 75-100 times more potent than dried herbs and should be used with care. They are also sensitive to sunlight and should be stored in a cool, dark area. Absolutes are prepared perfume material, highly concentrated. Use them on the skin, in the bath, in a humidifier, on a light bulb, in potpourri, or in your hair. Some people are sensitive to certain oils and can have allergic reactions. We cannot be responsible for individual body chemistry. Safety Precautions: Essential oils should not be used internally unless possibly heavily diluted. Pregnant women should avoid the following oils: Pennyroyal, Mugwort, Marjoram, Sage, Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, Tarragon, and Cypress. The following list of uses are suggestions only. Always consult a doctor if you suspect a serious illness. With a few exceptions, do not use undiluted essential oils on the skin. Test for sensitivities. Suggested Methods of Use: The dilutions quoted below are for adults (maximum 3%). Halve them for children, and use them at quarter strength for infants. MASSAGE Always dilute oils before applying them to the skin. Use a carrier oil such as Evening Primrose, Rosehip seed Oil, Kukui nut Oil, Jojoba Oil or any other pure, unblended vegetable oil (remembering that some vegetable oils may have an undesirable smell or consistency, e.g. Olive Oil). Do not use " baby oil " , as this is a mineral oil, and unlike vegetable oils will not be absorbed by the skin. 1% dilution: 5-6 drops essential oil per ounce of carrier oil. 2% dilution: 10-12 drops essential oil per ounce of carrier oil. 3% dilution: 15-18 drops essential oil per ounce of carrier oil. BATHS Add up to a maximum of 15 drops of pure essential oil to a bath full of warm (not hot) water. Float the oil on the surface and stir with your hand before relaxing in the bath for 10/15 minutes. For a hand or foot soak use 2 to 3 drops in a bowl of warm water. INHALATION Add 3 - 5 drops of essential oil to a bowl of hot water, cover your head with a towel and inhale the fragrant steam. IN A ROOM BURNER Use 2 to 3 drops of essential oil in water in the reservoir of your oil burner. Since most burners rely on a lighted candle for heat, never leave them unattended or where children can reach them. COMPRESSES Float 2 to 5 drops of essential oil on a saucer of water (warm or cold as appropriate). Pick up the film of oil by laying the compress material across the surface of the water. Apply to the affected part, and cover with cling film. This may be left in place overnight. Please remember to treat essential oils the same as you would drugs. Keep them out of reach of children and pets, and store them in a cool dark place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 Hello all. I'm going to have to wait with my battery change. Cardiologist and MD say no good to do it while I have a bronchial bug, which is better but far from gone. Just to let you know about this. I guess, according to my docs, you don't change the battery when someone is sick. I'm to have it once my bronchial bug goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just moved from Calif. to Ark. and here they have such a wonderful lake with a " 2 mile " walk about actually marked for walkers. The ducks & geese enjoy the lake,and as soon as the rain lifts, I'll go down there and start slowly with my walks. I know I can't walk the full 2 miles, but I can start and thats the first step. I only wish I had a walking buddy to go with. I drink at least 1 gallon of water usually every day, and I don't eat breakfast, but I do drink a soy-protein shake w/grond flax seed. I try to have a healthy luch & dinner, it's those comfort foods a night that get me all the time Eleanora, Congrats on your freedom of 5 days ciggarette FREE.. YIPEEEEEEEEE for you. I know you can do it, just take one day at a time, one victory at a time, soon you'll have a month under your belt and so on.. smile 256/-/150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" off label " as it is referred to is a major stumbling block for physicians. While doctors prescribe off label medication all the time, they tend to do it with drugs or therapies they are familiar with. As you said , you do not have a pediatric neurologist or physician with experience in HBOT & neurology. So it is somewhat understandable that doctors are reluctant to prescribe or treat something called " off label " and something they have never heard of. Removing the negative connotation of " off label " will bring us all one step closer to being able get HBOT accepted. Dr. Bill Duncan (from Congressman Istook's office) and Dr. Harch (President of the IHMA) worked with a chamber manufacturer and the FDA to get their labeling changed so that they no longer can be considered treating " off label " . While there will still be controls on marketing the use of chambers, this is a major victory for our field in that patients treated in this chamber cannot be considered treated " off label " . This is a major step forward in getting doctors to understand that this therapy is safe even if they are not familiar with it. Removing the term " off label " is step one, gaining mainstream medical acceptance is step two, and finally receiving acceptance from insurers is step three. It is a long journey but one worth taking and the first step has already begun. Sincerely, R.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 Ken, besides the question of only one specific manufacturer having additional applications declared " on label, " where can a copy of this new list be obtained? It would really help me attract a pediatric neurologist. -- ston, RN Earlier Ken wrote: > > Dr. Bill Duncan (from Congressman Istook's office) and Dr. Harch President of the IHMA) worked with a chamber manufacturer and the FDA to get their labeling changed so that they no longer can be considered treating " off label " Lois Bowen-Arizona replied: > >Ken, I'm not sure if I understand your message completely.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 Dear Ken, Would you please elaborate further on this? Was their label extended to include neurological conditions, or on the contrary, made as unspecified as to include all the possible indications? Which manufacturer?, if it is not secret... How would this modification be extended to other chambers, given the current restrictive FDA rules? Thank you and all of those involved, for your efforts in advancing our field beyond the incapacitating limits other organizations have left us within. Even apparently limited gains can be far reaching, as they serve as precedent, thus positively affecting future scientific developments, there and abroad. Best regards.
