Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I was with my dad and his wife a week ago. I shared every minute with them because I had to sleep in the same hotel room. I needed some time alone yesterday so I've been granted my wish. I have had my nieces and brother over and I have been crammed in a car with them too much and have seen my brother come to my house too much. There are some days where I just want to be alone. Otherwise I'm okay. Mostly it was just my routine was out of whack and I just got back on it yesterday. That's helped me tremendously. Kim <6emini@...> wrote: You are not alone by any means!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 That sounds like a circus. Families anymore are just excuses for being hateful. Counselors are just excuses for friends. If the economy were aimed in different directions and certain jobs banned alot of people would have a decent workplace and wouldn't have to worry about going to a crackpot psychologist or income tax etc... Most people have no idea and it's caused by the media, the corporations, the drugs and the odd-wealthy jobs like psychiatrists and psychologists. environmental1st2003 <no_reply > wrote: "Does anyone here know what it's like to have a dysfunctional family?"Yes. Although if you were a casual visitor, or even a relative, you would not know that our family is dysfunctional.Currently...My mom is an alcoholic. My sister, though she has been diagnosed AS denies she has it. She has been unemployed for over 18 months now and not really looking for another place to work. My dad is actually fairly normal these days, although in constant denial about my AS and my sister's. He also has no problem keeping my mother stocked with booze. In the past...My mom was an alcoholic. My sister was a brat. My father used to get violent and smash things and do things like throw dinnerware through the TV screen. I have teetered on the edge of nervous breakdowns at various times in my life. Counseling helped the last time, but it did not solve the underlying problemsm which in a way make things worse. All it did was push off the inevitable breakdown for a while.For what it is worth, we are here for you.TomAdministrator Stay in the know. Pulse on the new .com. Check it out.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Most people are gladly swallowing their strychnine and their politicians' mistakes and accepting the fact that their lives have been turned to worthlessness. That's the easiest thing to do I guess. To top it off though I have to listen to them talk about the most mundane things that have no relevance to advancement in the scientific sense.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Someone ran over my foot today. I was walking my bike across the end of a neighborhood road to the other side of the sidewalk to the store to get my tire aired up. He bent my front wheel, ran over my right ankle and right after I pulled my foot from under his car he put his car in reverse and stopped it, got out. I was on the ground sitting on my bike tire making a motion to get up. I finally decided I could stand. He said he didn't know I was there and asked if I was okay. I told him I was alright and to not worry about it. People might ask me why I did that and if they have to ask I'm not giving them the answer. I just got back from the hospital and the X-ray revealed no broken bones, just a sprained ankle. It was a green 96 subaru station wagon. I asked the doctor if I could run. He told me I could and that that would probably help. I guess what I'm trying to say is that people are guilty of stupidity and of trying to make others look stupid to have an excuse for their own lack of mental exercise. environmental1st2003 <no_reply > wrote: I find that if you try to talk to people about anything that is happening in the world, or even in their own communities, they stare at you with blank eyes.I believe this is attributable to people getting the news over the internet.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 My front bike tube is flat again. The wheel is bent and the wire rim of the tire is poking out.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 I took copper with amino acids last night. Tomorrow I'm jogging again. I'm walking without a limp and so forth.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Yes, if the tires were metal it would have been an entirely different matter. Rubber conformed somewhat to the shape of my foot thereby lessening the impact. Of course, like Tom had mentioned the full force of 2 tons didn't pound into my foot. Honestly I was just glad that I was able to walk it off. I stopped limping today and am running tomorrow. Copper with protein is a good anti-inflammatory and a good tissue builder. I also took vitamin C with glucosamine chondroitin to help speed up the process. I as well had always wondered what would happen if a car went over my foot. I guess yesterday was my lucky day. mikecarrie01 <mikecarrie01@...> wrote: Well, that was scary, Nick. Glad it was just a sprain.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Yes, the human body is composed of mostly water, ash and so on. Copper goes into the liver. Of course some gets through the nephrons and could cause damage in certain cases. Too much manganese is one of the worst things that can happen because it reduces dopamine is a possible contributing factor to ALS. I've heard too much iron can cause the body to literally rust. Megadoses of vitamin C inhibit copper absorption and/or form cuproenzymes that form tissues. One risk associated with high copper and low magnesium was acceleration of tumor growth/higher death rate. Aluminum causes imbalances in iron. Iron makes the body acidic. Many antacids contain aluminum. Antiperspirants contain aluminum. It's a possible cofactor in breast cancer. One of my thoughts is that the adrenals and other parts of the sympathetic nervous system play a larger part with metals than one might guess. Monoamine Oxidase utilizes carbon and destroys dopamine. Deprenyl stops the MAO-B enzyme thereby reducing the possiblity of Parkinson's disease. In England it is sold to people who don't have Parkinson's as an effective antidepressant. The important thing to remember when ingesting heavy metals is to have more than one purpose for it and to ingest the cofactors at different times throughout the weeks or months prior to taking the metal. It's also important to know signs of toxicity. The kidneys are a concern and I'm eventually going to research the filtering mechanisms. Potassium of course isn't the only thing that kidneys need to stay healthy. environmental1st2003 <no_reply > wrote: Nick,The human body is mostly water, carbon, calcium, potassium and a few trace elements. I should think that making sure that all the elements were present in their proper percentages and that all the elements needed to be introduced to the system to keep the body functionally optimally would be all that is necessary for good health (always taking into consideration that each body is different and may have different chemistries for that reason), unless a virus or bacterial element infected the body somehow.Isn't introducing all these elements and compounds into your system risking setting off a chemical imbalance and possible toxic reaction?At the very least, doesn't it tax the organs designed to filter out precipitated and superflous amounts of elements and compounds that would otherwise oversaturate the system?TomAdministratorRe: Re: Strychnine Chromium is also antagonistic to copper. I take 50 mg zinc gluconate daily. I've taken copper to the point of waking up with tinnitus (ringing in ears). I quickly took several hundred milligrams of zinc and over 40 grams of amino acids together. In an hour the ringing had ceased. One of the reasons I've taken it is to increase norepinephrine and to help increase the bioavailablity of oxygen. Stay in the know. Pulse on the new .com. Check it out.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I've had my blood tested for aluminum and copper. It didn't show up because the tests are no good for either of the two and they hide in the tissue, not the blood. Thanks for the site. Over 10 mcg daily is hazardous according to studies. I am careful and realize that some of these experiments haven't worked exactly in my favor. Copper is one where I could just quit while I'm still ahead. I think I might just go back to chlorophyll instead of the source I'm using now. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/copper/index.html Here's one site on copper. It doesn't list all the information about copper but, it's somewhat informative.
