3 months. We ended up changing peds and he was DX right away. Within a month

we were referred to neurosurgeon at the U of Chicago. He has been in

pT/helmet treatment since Jan. Come Thurs, he will be casted for THIRD

helmet. Neuro left this decision to us but felt that he would still benefit

from extending his wearing until Nov. There has been major improvement but

has some flatness on top half of head. No, we are not expecting a perfect

shape but if there will be more improvement we figured, why not? Our

decision was also swayed because we have been fortunate enough that ins co

has pd at 100%. Not to mention, the helmet has saved him from falls since he

has yet mastered his walking skills.

Pt is coming along nicely. He

is

still having pt 2x per week. Next week he will be eval by OT. They are not

concerned about delays but feel that water ther would get him over that last

of the hurdles. He has been standing for longer periods and getting daring

enough to take a few steps alone. It may be really soon before he is running

around by himself, hopefully! He took a nasty spill at PT and seemed a bit

scared to get up and going again. We'll see.......Belinda(Indiana)

See your name on the cures for cancer help line - way to go - Happy to see your

following up on all these natural cures etc.

We are about to launch our soy product & have lots of testimonials &

survivors going. A group of doctors have offerd us a clinic to operate out of

as well as conduct a series of certified clinical trials.

A bonus to this isoflavone rich product is it's ability to build bone

density. Turned out to be a plus we did't count on.

I hope all's well,

Hi my name is Suzanne and I live in Ontario, Canada.

I have had liver disease for over 13 years. At first I was diagnosised with "Fatty Liver" and was told that it would not get any worse, so I should not worry.

My liver enzyme readings remained elevated constantly for 13 years but even though I saw 3 different specialists nothing was done except for the blood tests.

In January 2000 I went to see my new doctor. I told him that my liver disease was bothering me again - I was constantly tired and the pain seldom went away. I was again told that there is no "pain" with liver disease. I insisted on having blood tests done and they were still elevated. The doctor did not feel that I needed to do anything. In early April I went back to see him and insisted that I be referred to a specialist. He told me I was probably suffering from depression or stress. I still insisted an appointment was made for Aug. 2000. In July I ended up in the emergency department and the doctor on duty consulted with the gastro specialist on call and after several blood tests and noting that my palms were bright red I was told to see my specialist immediately.

I managed to get a cancellation with my gastro. specialist within 2 days. After more blood tests she said that I had N.A.S.H. Then the blood tests showed perhaps I had autoimmune liver disease. After months of blood tests, MRI's, CAT Scans, Ultrasounds, and a transjugular biopsy (which was all scar tissue) and a colonoscopy, I was diagnosed with Cryptogenic Cirrhosis.

I had a heart stress test and more ultrasounds and now the pathologist has diagnosed me with "burnt-out" autoimmune cirrhosis and perhaps I also now have PSC. I need another test to diagnosis this, something called a ERCP.

I would like to know who else suffers from the pain that Doctor's insist "you don't have" with liver disease. Also has anyone had the ERCP test?

Moonbeam...I have accused you before of being humorless...and you still

are. My comment on the Iraqi doc was meant as a joke.

Only you took it wrong. One must be wary

of humorless persons...sorry. I have been

a faithful advocate of DMSO for over 30 years,

for everything from sore throat to muscle aches

and pains and used to sell it in 4 oz jars in an

aloe base (70 % strenght DMSO) until the

FDA made me stop years ago. I used to

buy it from france in one gallon tubs. Of course

everyone sells it now. best, JR

Can anyone explain to me why email would bounce? I check my mail

Anyone shed any light on this problem?

Hello,

Does anyone have a problem with their p.a. affecting their jaw? I am

recently having lots of trouble eating/chewing. Its very uncomfortable on

the left side of my jaw.

Any input would be appreciated,

Thanks,

[Guest guest]

Yes. In retrospect, a PA flare of my left jaw was probably the first

manifestation of my PA, and occurred several years before I was

finally diagnosed. In my experience, rheumatologists are usually

skeptical until they see the bone spurs, etc., on an X-ray. Many

others here have also mentioned jaw trouble. You might want to check

some of the prior postings from the previous couple of months.

Hi Ben, I`ve written a bit about the diet here on Okinawa - if you have any questions thatthe archives don`t answer then feel free to ask. Since you are interested in Chinese medicine and are studying it you may be interested that some people here eat chinese wolfberries(lycium chinensis - gou-ji-dzu) as part of their diet(my mother-in-law does). Shitake mushrooms are commonly used in stir fry. Okinawa has it`s own indigenous herbs that have not been studied much also. Turmeric is commonly used. There is a plant here (Tora no o) `Tiger Tail` that supposedly makes negative ions and creates a field of good chi. It is used indoors and outdoors for `luck` (i.e. remove stagnant chi). I have made an alcohol (sake) based herbal infusion tonic was made here by an okinawan herb shop for longevity. Some of the herbs in it (that I have translated) are as follows: Reishi Mushroom-purify the blood, lower cholesterol, support immune function. Monkey`s Chair Mushroom- treat arteriosclerosis, improve constitution, lower cholesterol. Rose Hips Turmeric- liver support, blood pressure support, diabetes and stomach ulcer treatment. Wolf Berries- skin support, treat fatigue and tired eyes, skin support. Sarakacha- a kind of orange- for allergies, cough, asthma, colds. Ousei-a root of a type of lily- for diabetes. Licorice Kuubi- a type of oleaster - for allergies, cough and asthma. Fruit of Gardenia- for menopause, feminine problems, digestion/intestinal disorders, lower back pain. Elf Clover- diabetes and kidney trouble. This is a translation of the shops literature that my wife made. I make no claims for the above herbs etc etc ad naseum. (There is my disclaimer). Thought that might interest you since you are undoubtedly studying herbs in you TCM classes. The following is simple - it is Chinese and not Okinawan - but it may interest you: Wolfberry Wine Lycium chinensis - 10 grams Rehmannia glutinosa - 10 grams Polygonum multiflorum - 10 grams Builds the blood - improves sexual function. Nourishes vital fluids, boosts kidney yin, prevents premature aging.May be used by men and women and is suitable for long term therapy. Steep herbs in one litre of spirits for 2 months. Take one fluid ounce twice daily on an empty stomach. For long term use, increase the quantities to 60 grams each and use 6 litres of spirits.. (That`s from `The Complete Book of Chinese Health and Healing` by Reid. A pretty decent book even though he says it is mostly Taoist but is actually a mixture of Chinese and Western holistic health strategies.).. Note to list members: It`s best to consult a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner for an evaluation before you take any Chinese herbs. Depending on your condition taking herbs of one type may increase health problems that you have.. I would HIGHLY suggest that anyone interested in longevity (which on this list in all of us) do some research on what the Chinese say helps you live longer... Interestingly enough the Okinawan lifestyle has a lot of what the Chinese consider good for longevity.. Not worrying.. Being in nature (gardening and eating food that is home grown in common here).. Plus there is a lot of sunlight here and the ocean is everywhere.. Eating modest amounts of food without a large portion of it being meat.. Community bonds.. Respect for elders.. The people here are very `Taoist` in thinking without ever having studied Taoism...

Brain images reveal effects of antidepressants Posted Wednesday, February 05 @

19:16:50 EST The experiences of millions of people have proved that

antidepressants work, but only with the advent of sophisticated imaging

technology have scientists begun to learn exactly how the medications affect

brain structures and circuits to bring relief from depression. Researchers at

the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UW Medical School recently added

important new information to the growing body of knowledge. For the first time,

they used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)--technology that provides

a view of the brain as it is working--to see what changes occur over time during

antidepressant treatment while patients experience negative and positive

emotions.

and circuits to bring relief from depression.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UW Medical School

recently added important new information to the growing body of knowledge. For

the first time, they used functional magnetic resonance imaging

(fMRI)--technology that provides a view of the brain as it is working--to see

what changes occur over time during antidepressant treatment while patients

experience negative and positive emotions.

The study appears in the January issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry. UW

psychology professor son, Ph.D., psychiatry department chair Ned

Kalin, MD, research associate Irwin and research assistant

Anderle were the authors.

The researchers found that when they gave the antidepressant venlafaxine

(Effexor®) to a small group of clinically depressed patients, the drug

produced robust alterations in the anterior cingulate. This area of the brain

has to do with focused attention and also becomes activated when people face

conflicts. Unexpectedly, the changes were observed in just two weeks.

" Conducting repeated brain scans in these patients allowed us to see for the

first time how quickly antidepressants work on brain mechanisms, " said son,

who also is director of the W. M. Keck Laboratory for Functional Brain Imaging

and Behavior, where imaging for the study took place. He noted that the findings

were surprising because patients don't usually begin noticing mood improvements

until after they have been taking antidepressants for three to five weeks.

The researchers also found that while the depressed patients displayed lower

overall activity in the anterior cingulate than non-depressed controls, those

depressed patients who showed relatively more activity before treatment

responded better to the medication than those with lower pre-treatment activity.

This kind of information may be extremely useful to clinicians someday, Kalin

said.

" We expect that physicians in the future will be able to predict which patients

will be the best candidates for antidepressants simply by looking at brain scans

that reveal this type of pertinent information, " said Kalin, who also is

director of the HealthEmotions Research Institute, where scientists concentrate

on uncovering the scientific basis of linkages between emotions and health. One

third of all patients treated with antidepressants do not respond to them, and

of those that do, only about 50 percent get completely better, he added.

Virtually all previous studies analyzing brain activity in depressed people used

PET (positron emission tomography) and SPECT (single photon emission computed

tomography) technology. With these imaging systems scientists were not able to

obtain pictures with the same resolution as that which is now obtainable with

fMRI, which provides a " working snapshot " of the brain.

The Wisconsin team used fMRI's capability to capture brain activity as it

occurred to record subjects' reactions as they viewed pictures designed to

stimulate negative and positive emotions.

" We believe that we can uncover the best indicators of treatment changes when we

present research subjects these emotion challenges, " said son. " The

pictures activate the individual circuits that underlie different kinds of

emotional responses. "

UW emotions researchers have been using fMRIs with emotion-challenging pictures

for several years in an effort to understand normal and abnormal brain responses

to a range of emotions. They theorize that in depressed people, reactions to

negative emotions are similar to, but more exaggerated than, reactions that

non-depressed people have, and that the reactions may be more difficult to turn

off.

" We all experience some sadness from time to time, but in depression, the

responses may be sustained and out of context, " said psychiatrist Kalin.

With the HealthEmotions Research Institute, the Keck Laboratory for Functional

Brain Imaging and Behavior and the Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience, UW is

home to a critical mass of some of the foremost emotions researchers in the

world.

It's probably unlikely, though it if there was any chance of blood to blood contact, which it sounds to me like there was, it would be possible. There is an incubation period, I'm not sure what it is, but certainly within a couple of weeks to a month if the person that was scratched feels they could have had blood to blood contact, I would recommend they get tested just for their own piece of mind. -dz-

Dear ,

Don Croft's Terminator Zapper is the easiest I've seen- you just turn it on and place it on the body, and it's small enough to be carried in a purse, briefcase or even a pocket. I got mine a few years ago through the Global Light Network, but I think he has a website- just run a search on cloud 9 or cloudbusting or terminator zapper plus Don Croft in the search.

Hope this helps,
