Wondering

December 5, 2006

In California nursing and pharmacy programs, they don't mess around with

the cheaper, immunoassay test. They are testing for so much stuff, they

do GC/MS with every test. And why would they worry about expense? You

and I are footing the bill! Carte blanche.

I didn't know that they did that on etg samples. Does

Not sure what you're saying, Robin. Maybe my post came across as saying

that there are no 'false positives' with GC/MS. Technically, there

aren't--The molecule is actually there. It is a 'false positive' for

relapse (if, indeed, an alcoholic beverage was not consumed and the EtOH

was ingested/absorbed/inhaled unknowingly or unintentionally). Is that

what you were getting at?

Hi, . I am on probation in CA and am an RN and I tested positive in

Sept and Oct. My levels were 540-780 and I didn't drink and still can't

figure out what it's from. They said I was in violation of probation and

am now in a 21 day intensive outpatient program. I am afraid to eat,

breath, etc. Sincerely, Diane

December 9, 2006

Diane, did they impose treatment based ONLY on those positive Etg levels? When did they make you go to treatment? Certainly at those levels there should not have been a 'no-questions asked' attitude of action...esp after the SAMHSA advisory came out. Just trying to get a take on what is happening and if the advisory has changed things.

Yes, , it was recommended by my probation monitor to enter

treatment. I met with her on Nov. 29th and began treatment Dec. 6th.

It is on my contract that I had to enter a place by Dec. 15th. She

hasn't mentioned anything about the SAMHSA report. She just said the

board wants it less than 500 and that was that. I still need to speak

to the MRO for Compass Vision. I was on Toradol IM and looked on the

label and saw it has 10% alcohol in it. Does anyone think that is the

culprit? I called the place that makes toradol but they didn't think

it would interfere with any testing. I had mu Dr. change the med to

pill form so we'll see if that changes anything. I hope I am posting

this correctly. Thanks for listening. Diane

So sorry to take so long to respond to your email. There is nothing immoral

about loving someone with autism. Although it is a different kind of love,

every parent on this list loves someone dearly with autism. And people with

autism want love and companionship. Now they have biological issues that make

it

hard for them to be in that type of relationship...for some they have sensory

issues and can be physically uncomforatable with physical affection. This

won't mean they don't crave it...it just means they have a hard time tolerating

it. Think of someone who has broken their foot but loves to play football.

They can't tolerate being on that foot, but it doesn't mean they don't want to

play football. So it can get confusing. Some don't have those physical

issues but they do have other issues such as it being so much work for them to

communicate that it just exhausts them. It isn't that they don't want friends

or

boyfriends or girlfriends...it's just exhausting. I mentioned just 2 of the

problems but other parents are probably like me and are just praying that

someone will love them dispite their challenges.

One reason you may be having a hard time with this is because you worry how

others will feel about it. I am 44 years old and just now getting past

worrying how others will perceive me or look at me. Peer pressure is a powerful

thing. But I'm learning to be true to myself and I know life will be MUCH

better

when I do. So the answer to your question is NO it is not morally wrong to

love someone with autism any more than it would be wrong to love someone in a

wheelchair or someone who is blind. they are people who need love but they have

challenges.

My advise to you is two fold. First, if you want to have a relationship with

this person, you need to learn everything about autism that you can first.

Study hard. It will not only help you to understand this other person better,

but you can help others understand as well. It will prevent a lot of

difficulties that could be avoided by getting that education. I can not

emphasize

this enough.

Secondly, I hope you are are Christian because God promises to teach and

guide us when we seek Him. He can help you through this. First and foremost

you

must be obedient to the Lord and He will put the pieces of your life together

as He knows is best. God has no " grandchildren " , only children. My point is,

that you are nearing adulthood and once you are an adult, this is who is to

be your guide for the rest of our lives anyway. Our parents are supposed to

raise us and point us toward our true father who takes over where they leave

off. He will protect you, teach you, etc. when you seek Him with all your

heart.

This doesn't mean that when you become an adult, that you don't respect your

parents...but it does mean that you do follow God first and foremost above

all. He will arrange your relationships for you. You never want to go anywhere

the Lord knows is wrong for you. That may be with this young man or it may

not be...I have no idea. So for now, while still under your parents rule,

begin by praying and studying. Then it will all fall into place.

I do not have amalgam fillings but do have lots of problems with ears

oozing, swelling internally to

swelling in jaws, (I dislike this the most) large bumps and sores behind ears,

Not in my case... I only had one filling (yes, it was an amalgam), got

it when I was in the Coast Guard back in the early eighties... then had

it replaced with a composite about 15 years ago. The dentists that did

it seemed very competent, but this was pretty early in the learning

process about these things (at least for me)...

She did do muscle testing, and I was actually very surprised at how

differently my muscles reacted to the different materials on the tray

(about 50 of them) - although kinesiology has always been suspect in my

mind, due to its nature - too much room for mental influence to play a

part - both intentional and unintentional (on the parts of both tester

and testee)...

Sherri-Lee,

I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

I did/do get discharge when doing ear insufflating. The problem I

had was doing too much too fast.

I realize we have to go through the detoxing, but I also think one

has to go at their own pace rather than trying to go at a pace others

think they should go at.

I've also notice when I do other forms of ozone the same day I do ear

insufflating, I get way more discharge. Stands to reason as you

would have more ozone in your body as a whole.

The other day I did 1/2 hour vaginal insufflating, followed by 2

minutes ear insufflating in each ear, and then that evening did a 30

minute sauna. My ears drained, and drained, and drained, and

drained.

I want to concentrate more on ear insufflating because I have so much

brain fog so often. Even if I have to go slowly (have said I'm on

the 15 month plan: 1 minute increase each month until I reach a total

of 15 minutes insufflating), I'm determined to concentrate on my

ears/head. And if I'm still having a lot of trouble when I reach the

15 month mark, I will withdraw from that program and enroll in

the 'however long it takes' program.

I think I have underestimated ear insufflating. I'd been

concentrating more on saunas and vaginal insufflating that I'd

neglected my ears. Probably got a lot going on in my head that needs

to be addressed.

Question: Does one ever get to the place where they don't get a

discharge from their ears when insufflating?

Gail,

I am saying that you are always sounding like you are trying to avoid the

discomfort of healing and I am encouraging you to endure it anyway, because

of the rewards at the end.

Having now seen how much other ozone you are doing I am not surprised at

your reactions. When I was doing a lot of ozone, the worst reaction always

came out from the most tender and loaded place, for me the ears. Easy to

dump out of and very loaded with candida and very tender. I would suggest

not doing your ears on the same day as a sauna and doing more time.

I doubt at the end of 15 months on your plan that you would have achieved

real healing and you will still have to tough it through the discomfort

anyway only it will be 15 months from now. I hope I am wrong, but my

experience doesn't support that.

That's all:-)

Honestly, Gail. I do not think so. My reasoning is that as much as we crank up

and become more cognizant of our daily pollutants via food ingested,

environment, cosmetic substances such as shampoos, lotions, etc. we cannot avoid

them altogether. Doing so would be tanamount to livng in a bubble which none

of us do. I do believe that as long as the body harbors these contaigens, the

body when exposed to Ozone will release them. Also, the longer we avoid,

postpone or minimize the purging, the more it will build and the worse the

outcome will be as when we readdress the process.

It will, imho, always be a work in progress.

Just a thought - it might be easier transitioning if you increased it by

15 seconds each week, instead of a full minute each months...

Good idea, . Thank you for suggesting it.

What I am actually doing this time around it simply really, really

listening to my body in order to go at it's individual pace.

When I first started ear insufflating, I did exactly what you did.

Started at 15 minutes 3 times a day. Did not have any reaction until

about 2-3 weeks, and then you know the story, I'm sure. I regret I

didn't get more informed before starting and that I ended up quiting

altogether. It's taking quite a while to get over the scare of it.

Everything swelling shut was the scariest for me.

The 1 minute increase monthly is just a time frame I'm giving myself

to allow myself a tolerable rate to detox. It's not set in stone,

tho, and is actually going faster than I thought it would. As of

today, I'm up to 2 & 1/2 minutes in each ear, and it's only been

about 5 weeks. It hasn't been too bad doing it this way, and as the

oozing slows down, I simply increase a little to start it up again

and so on, always keeping a very close eye on how much swelling is

going on.

Another thing I'm doing this time around is taking 800 IU vitamin E

daily, making sure to take it long after insufflating. I actually

started taking it for gum disease, but noticed it is really pleasant

for the skin: gums, ears, & skin in general, so the chapping that

often comes with insufflating is not bad at all.

I'm so anxious to get my brain back, and hope this will contribute to

that. It does seem to be waking it up some.

Oh, also, thank you and Edith for responding to my amalgan question.

I thought that might cause a need for more detoxing, but since the

two of you also had severe reaction insufflating and don't have

amalgan fillings that tells me the reactions is other forms of toxins

in the head being detoxed.

*** Well, like I said in another post, the first time I started ear

insufflating I did way too much too soon. There was the usual itch,

redness, drainage, but it was the swelling that really scared me

because everything closed up, ears, eyes, & throat, so I'd have to

say the swelling, for me, is the biggest tell-tale. And the way I

decide when it is time to increase is because the drainage slows way

down to almost a stop, so I increase the length of insufflating by 30

seconds. However, I might even decrease that to only 15 seconds and

simply observe the effect it has on me.

*** I've used them in the past and they are great, but I get really

bad charlie horses when using the activated charcoal. Even when I am

careful to take it 2 hours before or after eating/supplementing. For

me it's a problem.

> - to see if I can speed up getting the crap out

*** I am soooooooo excited about what I am learning about pacing

myself. Let me explain. While watching Ohpra, she will often have

her personal trainer (the one that helped her lose weight), and also

her favorite cardiologist on the show. What the cardiologist said

about weight loss is, 'most people feel like they have to go on an

intense diet in order to lose weight, but really all one has to do is

decrease their daily caloric intake by 100 calories, and the weight

will start to come off.' 100 calories is simple an apple or a piece

of whole wheat bread, nothing big at all. And the weight trainer

said, 'the bottom line is you have to have more going out than coming

in calorie wise.'

*** I believe the same principle can be applied to detoxing! It's

the same thing, so when you say 'speed up getting the crap out', all

you really have to do is make sure more is going out than coming in,

and it doesn't even have to be that much more. By that I really mean

just a steady amount that will not overwhelm you, while all the time

making sure more is going out than whatever you are exposed to is

going it, but it does take patience!

*** I also realize everybody's personalities are different. Mine was

always the kind that just jumps in; sink or swim, and I to be healed

now! <chuckle> That just seems to be human nature because most

people want things done now. That was the mistake I made when I

approached ozone. I thought a sauna would do it all, and I jumped in

without doing any cleansing, etc. Same with the ear insufflating.

*** I am absolutely loving ear insufflating now. I don't know if it,

or the piracetam, or the combination of both is working, but

something is, and I'M LOV'N IT! My plan is to work up to 15 minutes

daily (I have no desire to do it 3 times daily), no matter how long

it takes, and then to just keep doing it. My brain is getting

better, and once I get it back, I'm going to do all I can to keep it.

*** Please keep up posted on your progress.
