Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Just for your info. Comfrey is a plant that usually will grow near the different poison; as if God in his wisdom knew better. The rash is caused by contact with an oil (urushiol) found in poison ivy, oak, or sumac. You could take the leaves of the comfrey plant and wipe it over the area that the oil has touched your skin. It would ease or help you not get the rash and the itch. Maybe that's why the gel worked so well.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hello Wanda, It is great to hear from you. This is one reason the comfrey works so well, it is also because of the Aloe-Comfrey combination. The healing properties of both plants are extraordinary. I used some last night on a bug bite and I was once again amazed at the healing properties. It seems to be the only thing I have found that actually soothes and heals this way.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi Holly, I have no idea about psoriasis and the comfrey/aloe gel -- one of the few skin conditions (psoriasis) that I've not had! It certainly can't hurt to try, though. However, the LifeLift exercises are absolutely gentle and you can do them at your own pace -- if you can't execute any part of it, you just do what you can. They can be done standing, sitting, lying down, etc., etc. I think (from what I've read here on this forum) that they are much more gentle than either oxycise or BodyFlex -- and I don't see any reason that you couldn't work around your arthritis -- much of their " power " comes from the breathing/lifting, not from the exercise itself (correct me if I'm wrong, Rashelle!)....

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thank you Bonnie. I can always count on you to send a great message. You are correct in your comment that the " power " comes from the LifeLift breaths, not from the movement of the positions. As usual, you are right on!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi Holly, I too have psorisis. I haven't had a flare up in over 5 years though, although I do know it stays in your system always. I do know that psorisis is not really a skin problem as much as it is caused from problems in the digestive tract. I believe that Lifelift can help in that area, as the breaths alone help with digestion. Just as a side note, the last time I had a flare up I used Head and Shoulders shampoo on my legs( the area that shows up with sores ) every time I took a shower and it seemed to help it to clear up pretty quickly. Hope this helps. Kelley hlaibson@... wrote: In a message dated 7/26/2005 1:46:48 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, rashelle@... writes: The healing properties of both plants are extraordinary.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi, Yup the little girl is coming up with all behaviors that works for her- to be alone. My 2 cents being the mom of a 10 year old with autism: You could probably use being alone in the room for a few minutes as a reward. Everytime she complies to your request, she could be sent to her room for a specified amount of time. And overtime she should begin to enjoy what's been presented to her. Hope that helps, Suman wrote: There is 1 message in this issue.
