Do you know if the gloves come in larger sizes?

I know they come in some sizes rather than one size fits none. I

think maybe S, M, L, XL ???

I have had a Tempur-Pedic pillow for five years and I love it. It is

time to replace it. If you forget and leave it in the car when it's

cold, it will freeze hard as a rock!!!! (experience--LOL) It seems fine

when it warms up but I've wondered if doing that (at least twice)

shortened its life.

Jerry,

O type people are prone to low thyroid activity. The O diet helps heal the

body, therefore abiding by it daily will help the body get back to the way

it should be, over time of course.

Diabetes is another O factor and the O diet controls the hinders of insulin

producing foods from destroying our insulin levels.

If you are ill eat only the beneficials, if not then do not eat the avoids.

But if you have any problems at all, then do stick with the diet.

I think not working the O diet, would negatively affect the thyroid. Several

avoids on the O diet, supress thyroid activity, and cause tendency to weight

gain. I think thyroid problem will be exacerbated by improper diet. I know

caffiene, colas, all the things which are bad for O's are bad for people with

weak or low thyroid function. Conversely, the adherence to this diet

probably will set ideal body condition for best thyroid recovery, and

function.

Ann,

I'm glad I finally feel warmer, spent $ on thyroid test after thyroid

test and still felt hypothyroid. I take Kelp suppliments too..I think the

best thing I did (and felt the best) is when I got dairy and wheat out of my

diet for good...bread killed me insulinwise

The least inexpensive way to test your thyroid is to use a basal thermometer

and test the same way you would for ovulation. If the temp is below 98.6

then it is off and needs adjustment. Any thyroid supplement will help. AND

SALT IS A GREAT SUPPLEMENT as it contains the iodine needed for the thyroid.

Hi Deb,

When I was trying to get pregnant I used to to check on my temp. most of the

month it was about 36.3-36.5 centigrade which is about 97.5-97.7 that means

I need to take iodine? can you recommend any?

Thanks Sari

A simple solution I did for Tim when sleep was hard to come by. I just

turned his doorknob backwards. I make sure that everything in his room is

childproof and lock him in. That way I don't have to worry about nocturnal

roaming. He has always been good at entertaining himself and I have always

used a tape recorder with soothing music. Since he knows he can't get out he

doesn't try anymore. He just plays by himself if he wakes at night. Sharon

>last few months. Most particularly, his sleep habits have altered

>dramatically. There are several nights each week that he sleeps only 3 -4

>hours. At bedtime he can become extremely aggitated and will yell for

>hours,

>laugh histerically, run through the house and then collapse in exhuastion.

>Last night he was up until 2:00. The night before he awoke @ 3:00 and

>stayed

>awake all day, without a nap. Then there are several days in a row

The only way we have ever been able to do much with Tim's teeth is general

sedation. We usually do it when he is getting new tubes in his ears. An

opthomologist can also examine eyes when he is out. I also try to get as

much done as possible while he is out. He hates drinking VERSED the

premedication. We have found the best thing for him is to just take a few

whiffs of the gas in the operating room since he is used to breathing

treatments daily this doesn't frighten him. They put in the IV after that

and he has almost no emotional tramua.

The last Brain Stem Response(BSR) or (ABR) hearing test we did in the

audiologist office we used chlorahydrate. By the time he took in enough to

put him to sleep he was out all day and I mean beyond the ragdoll stage. He

couldn't walk straight for 2 days afterwards. We will not be trying that

again. I would much rather have him in an OR with an anethesoligist(who I

always forwarn because of Tim's asthma). He is usually awake and watching

movies a couple hours later in those cases. That is our experience with

office procedures versus Operating Rooms. It seems more serious in an OR

but there is lots more backup if you need it. Sharon

Yup. We saw big name neurologist at Children's in Boston right after putting

my daughter on a g/f, c/f diet. He scoffed at vitamins and dietary

interventions, and told us vaccines were perfectly safe. He encouraged us to

keep vaccinating. He told us studies show kids in developing countries, who

aren't vaccinated, have the same rate of autism as kids in the U.S. Either he

was lying, or he really believed this.

He assured us nothing could be done for my daughter, and he insisted her

educational needs would be " overwhelming. " Delivering this news seemed to

give him pleasure. He ignored the huge goiter on her neck, as did a string of

other MDs. He was useless.

We were recommended yesterday to go to neurologist at Children's.

May be it is the same one?! I would rather not spend my 1/2 day

there if he is useless. Can you please tell me who it was?

Now that's a horror story! I know the feeling though, how many times have I

had to educate the docs? How many times do they say, we don't know what to

do, and where is it in the LANCET? How many times have they asked me, did

you get that off the internet? How many times were obvious things starring

me in the face and they thought that was just " autism " . How many times have

I had to explain what autism is, and the huh? look is always there? How

many times do I have to exert myself and painfully educate others about why

there kid should not get a vaccine? How many times have I typed my fingers

to the bone to tell one more mom that it sounds like autism? How many times

have I had to teach school personnel they are people too? How many times

have I had to relearn things about autism? How many times are we thrown

something " new " ? How many times have I tried that something new and it

didn't work " ? How many times have I had to put my finger up a doctors nose

and tell him where to stick his initial consulation? How many time have I

explained to good ole mom and dad that I am not going to put my kids in

danger if I don't vaccinate? How many times do I get a honk from behind

when I have a bumper sticker that reads...Autism, you can have it too....DPT

MMR!!! How many times have I asked for support and dont get any, namely

insurance companies!? How many times have I had to pay one more medical

bill? How many times have I been informed that it is helpless, go home and

cry? How many times have I told the pediatrician to run a test and it came

out with a raised eyebrow, well that's interesting? How many times have I

asked pediatricians, now what about this information, where do we go from

here? How many times have I gone to conferences? How many times have the

conferences been evenly divided...ie, biomedical or

theraputic/educational...and they never come together? How many times have

I flown on a plane to go to that doctor who had a waiting list for 2 years?

How many times have people remarked...is that genetic? How many times have

I sat up until 2 in the morning on the internet becuase I read something

that fit my kid? How many times have I gone to AMAZON and and NOBLE

web sites...yes, they know...autism? How many times did I kick myself for

putting faith in the allopathic doctors I so readily pay for nothing? How

many times have I run to a new idea in autism? How many times have I

needled my kid with one more test or told them to pee in the cup? How many

times have I seen my kid suffer a seizure? How many times have I screamed?

Cried..numerous.. How many times did that create tension in the family?

How many times did I fight the system? The system being, education,

medical, professional and put in a few here or there just people? How many

times have I felt that I am on overload? How many times did I have to drop

what I was doing and just LIVE? How many times have I bought supplements

(into the thousands of dollars)? How many times have I poured shit down my

kid? How many times did it work? Sometimes, not all the time? How many

times have I been to parent meetings where I just look around and all I see

is TIRED? How many times have I percieved that these parents just LOVE

their kids? All the time.....

And they say, all these things will give you experience........
