Re: Introduction

Hi Kellie

I'm Liz, not ML, but also have a child on methotrexate. Her current

dose is 15mg (.6cc), given by injection once a week. The dosage for the kids

varies depending on size as well as how well they are responding. some kids

do very well on as little as 7.5mg. Unfortunately, , 9 yrs old, has not

been able to successfully go below her current dose. While on oral

methotrexate had a lot of trouble with nausea and vomiting, but since

switching to injections a couple years ago things are much better. The

decision to use methotrexate for our kids is never an easy one, as I think

all of us worry about putting the kids on these meds. But the difference it

can make in quality of life is amazing!

Hope this helps a bit. Let us know how is doing.

Liz

Thanks for being supportive! I am so happy to have made it, and so happy to

have the friendships with all of you guys! I am sorry I have not been keeping

in touch as much as before, but I suppose I have gotten my life back so to

say, and I don't spend a lot of time on the computer. I do think of you all

OFTEN and hope only the best is happening for you all too!

Debbie and -

thanks for " enlightening " Debbie! haha. And boy oh boy does have

it right that it won't always be in a bathroom. That is the absolute worst

when you simply have to try to let ahem, something, escape and there are

others around. You get kind of good at " the look " - i know you all know it.

The look where you look around like you are trying to figure out where that

repulsive smell is coming from as if you didnt just proiduce it! And since

females don't ordinarily create that degree of odor - I can usually pass it

off on the nearest innocent man! Sorry guys!!!! I know I am not the only one!

My poor husband has been blamed more often than I think even he realizes! LOL

Anyway, best of luck to you all!

Seems that getting him to allow you to " play " along with him when he has

these favorite toy items would be an important step. Some of his SIB and

tantrum behavior might be coming from past experiences in which adults have

taken these precious items away from him. You can probably shape better

tolerance to your involvement by teaching him that you will not be taking

such items away during his allowed stim time. First, just touch the toy

quickly and reinforce him. Gradually add more interaction time with him, and

eventually you should be able to work on directing the stimmies to more

appropriate and interactive play (with you modeling more appropriate use of

these toys.)

Perhaps his programming needs to be reassessed. Do you think he is finding

program time as aversive, and working simply to escape it through intensive

stimming?

Is it possible for you to attend a Partington workshop? He emphasises the

importance of establishing a good working rapport with the child before and

during program work. " Children should run to us, not from us. " And he

offers specific techniques for developing what he considers the ultimate goal

of intervention-to produce happy children who possess the skills required to

enable them to become successful learners. ISee http://www.behav

ioranalysts.com/ for info on training and support offered through Dr.

Partington's company.

If I had to do it over again, I would run, not walk, to learn about his model

of intervention for my son. It is a very sophisticated and child friendly

application of the science (behavior analysis).

Good luck.

When I make my fisherman soap, I use anise as the fish seem to like it. That

could be used in a spray.

For my hunter soap, I use essential oils that are indigenous to our area. For

instance, oakmoss, Texas cedar (Not Virginia cedar),sage etc. My customers

swear by it.

My son-in-law has bagged his biggest bucks since using it.

Subject: hunter's spray

I know about the hunter and fisher soaps to remove human scent but I had

a thought of making a spray in a bottle to take hunting. Does anyone

think this idea would work or just exactly what ingredients would be

best for it? There are a lot of hunters in my area and I thought maybe

this would be a bigger market. Thanks

Hello everyone,

Is everyone here who sells abiding by this? I didn't know about

this requirement until brought it up - I am so pleased to be

using organic alcohol - no way I could switch to denatured.

On another legal issue, is it true as someone mentioned here that you

must list all your ingredients? I'm pretty sure I've seen perfumes,

edt, etc. that don't.

Thanks for any comments.

Well, farther on in that thread I think we decided that my assertion

was wrong and that there is no violation of Federal law if you use tax

paid beverage grade alcohol to compound fragrance products for sale.

Glad was able to clear this up, e. His dialogue with Marcia was

very helpful. Sent them both to their references, and they did a good job

of sorting it all out.

I got no dog in this hunt.  I don't care, because I did the research, and I don't use it.  But please don't suggest that 2 little innocent kids WITH DIABETES be fed it.

 

 

" Depending on the source and processing method used, agave syrup can, therefore, contain as little as 55% fructose, the same amount found in high-fructose corn syrup -- in which case the syrup would offer no advantage.

What is the " Real " Truth about Agave?

If you knew the truth about what's really in it, you'd be dumping it down the drain -- and that would certainly be bad for sales.

Most agave " nectar " or agave " syrup " is nothing more than a laboratory-generated super-condensed fructose syrup, devoid of virtually all nutrient value, and offering you metabolic misfortune in its place.

Unfortunately, masterful marketing has resulted in the astronomical popularity of agave syrup among people who believe they are doing their health a favor by avoiding refined sugars like high fructose corn syrup, and dangerous artificial sweeteners.

And if you're diabetic, you've been especially targeted and told this is simply the best thing for you since locally grown organic lettuce, that it's " diabetic friendly, " has a " low glycemic index " and doesn't spike your blood sugar.

While agave syrup does have a low-glycemic index, so does antifreeze -- that doesn't mean it's good for you.

Most agave syrup has a higher fructose content than any commercial sweetener -- ranging from 55 to 97 percent, depending on the brand, which is FAR HIGHER than high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which averages 55 percent.

This makes agave actually WORSE than HFCS. "                  ~Mercola
