Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Laurel. What might I be the last person to do? Okay, I have an appointment with Dr. Jace on the 19th. I quickly gave him some history. He thought maybe that the reason I got the E cancer was due to the P converting more to Estrone. Not that it was a P positive cancer. And that I'm metabolizing the E (could be into Estrone) and this is why I can't get my numbers up. Not sure what this all means but sounds like he will do a slew of tests while I"m down there. Mentioned a glucose test which makes me uneasy as I think he does metobolic type testing and they might use grapefruit juice to test? or , can you enlighten me on this one? I have to fast before I go. This is going to be tough as my appointment isn't until 10am and I have to drive in the LA traffic which is stressful. Hopefully this isn't going to mess with my anxiety . But I really want to find out what the heck is going on. My teeth look less gray now, so not sure what that was about. Maybe it was something when I switched diets? Here's my favorite foods if I went for it. Popcorn with a stick of butter Pepperoni Pizza Steak Watermelon with salt Chcolate chip ice cream Chips and salsa- Actually I love mexican food Salted Sunflower seeds Bread and butter Looks like fat and salt and spicy. Not sure what this all says. I have no idea what makes me feel better or worse at this point. I have been so confused with everything for so long, I have no idea. I do know some E will help get rid of headaches. Today, I'm feeling really edgy and anxious and snappy. Not sure if it's going back to the patches from the cream or if it's from my recent cut in Valium. The last few nights I have taken a tiny bit of Calm before bed. Don't know if it helps or not. I have no idea if Calcium helps either. I have tried it all. I think I will take a warm bath tonight with a bit of vinegar in it and see what that does.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Okay, no vinegar at night. If I take a hot bath ( I try not to get it to hot) with epsom salt my heart pounds. I am going to try 3 different baths, vinegar, e salt, nothing. And see what happens. It does not take much to make my heart pound. I can bend over and my heart will pound. I get short of breath very easy. I can't do sauna's, makes my heart pound. I do think I need red meat. I'm not really crazy about chicken or turkey but eat it. I just remembered I LOVE pork bacon. I just started eating it again. (organic, no nitrites). I like my meat med rare And horseradish and wasabi. I do not like sour stuff, no pickles, even plain yogurt or kefir is to sour for me. Magnesium doesn't seem to do much unless I take to much and then I get diarrhea. I also have Mitral Valve Prolapse which adds to the picture.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Liz, You have to fast before your visit to Dr. Jace but only for 6 hours. So, if you're seeing him at 10:00 am, you can eat for the last time at 4:00 am. That worked for me because I was up then but may not work for you. But, if hunger really kills you, you could wake up at 3:30 am just to eat something and then go back to sleep. They do not use grapefruit juice. The glucose test is a finger prick test. The only substance they gave me to eat or drink was a chocolate whey protrein drink at some point and then they do some other tests after that. So, that will kill the hunger and you don't have to wait until you are done with the whole appt. to eat.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Laurel, I have had heart pounding forever. This is not new for me. I remember once I went to the Renaissance Fair in Calabasas (this was the real one and was a hoot) and it was always in early summer. I was just a teenager and the heat bothered me then. I remember almost fainting from it and my heart pounding. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I have always been really skinny. I think I never was had enough E in me as a girl to develop breasts and such. I have most likely have had something since birth or maybe after all the vaccines I received as a child. I look at pictures of me as a 5 year old and look normal but when I hit 8 or 9 I started getting skinny. Parasites? I had a ton of dental work done when I was very young, teeth pulled, spacers, x-rays (and I don't think they were that careful in those days.). So I think it's a cumulative thing I have here and some birth things and maybe some genetics. I wish it were as easy as just adding some acidic food to my diet or taking it away. BTW - I have always been told I need to eat more alkaline food. (This is from the people who think anyone with any health problem is to acidic). I really appreciate your brain storming and all the information you bring out. Liz __________________________________ Liz Vernand www.ojaipaintedminis.com You taste buds are a big clue!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hi Gals, I wholeheartedly second for myself what Liz says about her body, i.e. getting skinny around 9 or 10, always lacking real "go-power", so to say, a quiet, hesitant, introvert child with frequent health issues... With 16 I got all my teeth inlay-ed (lack of calcium absorption ability, and little to eat after the WWII). Easily stressed by just daily life, the body forever trying to "cope" as needed, and becoming acidic. I've never had the perfect ph- number, even when I tried hard with a "perfect diet" - in fact I seemed to crave/need some acidic food to give me strengh, ="umph", to push myself. Strange creatures we all are, each with our own, mostly unconscious/secret reasons/challenges to "explore and master" life in one way or another....Anyway, it's nice to sometimes find company with "another weirdo like ourselves", since we seem to be the "one and only creature troubled this way" among our family and friends, who can only shake their heads in disbelief, when they ask us to share our physical "hang-ups". Love, Charlotte _______________ RE: brain perk up technique Laurel, I have had heart pounding forever. This is not new for me.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 And Laurel, you say you're alkaline ? I - an " acidic " blood girl - have used the skin brushing trick for 25 years morning and night, can't exist without it... And it takes about 2 hours in the morning including floor exercises, shower, and the Alan Bates' eye-sunning treatment (against dry eyes), and tea and a piece of fruit, (EFAs, DMAE and Gingko for brain and vascular), before I'm ready to fully brain function. Best help is a " wake-up " call in the morning, while still debating with myself to get up or not - yet! - because that raises the blood pressure right away...LOL. No telephone talk at night before bed, or I can't fall asleep... Before boring you much longer, - Here it's bedtime.......

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hi Charlotte (-: I had bad teeth as a child too. At 6 I got a root canal! I look at my reaction to this extremely acid diet (with supplemental calcium, phosphoric acid, and apple cider vinegar, and red meat and wild salmon and no leafy green veggies) and realize there was no way I was going to be normal in this culture! Who would tell a kid to eat meat all day and chew on bones! Well, at least not these days. Maybe you just couldn't get enough calcium for your needs!!!! I spent my first 7 years in Alberta in the 60's with lots of food. My teeth were a mess too. Just so you know. You can't test blood PH with ph test strips. The saliva, the urine, and the respiration are our body adjusting. We can tell by looking at the ANS and how we respond to acid or alkaline food. If you are nearly drinking acid when under stress, then you are very likely a carnivore. A diet full of meat and root vegitbalbes is very acid forming which a meat eater needs. It gives the carnivore the push and lights up the brain. Karima noted that perhaps the carnivore woman has a different hormone profile? From what I understand the hunter gatherers didn't need as many babies as the herbivore. I haven't talked to any carnivore women who were really glowing in pregnancy. I had huge placenta that reduced me to a being that would have been better in a cave for 9 months. The parasympathetic system is forefront in the night and is the system of repair and rebuild. The carnivores that I know have great muscles. Nuimom is a carnivore. She is little wee, but she said she always used to make muscle so easily, before she got slammed by P. Dr. G says the carnivore gals are P dominant or at least don't get enough E because the glands don't get enough stimulation and their livers clear the E out so fast at night. Carnivore women need to eat the whole animal to be balanced and healthy. Well fed carnivores can be the healthiest people on the planet (look at the Canadian Inuit), but feed them poptarts and cherry coke and they turn to alcohol to grasping to get something to get to wake up the brain or turn off the pain. )-: All creatures out of our element?BTW, parasymps tend to wake up in the evening.

With 16 I got all my teeth inlay-ed (lack of calcium absorption ability, and little to eat after the WWII). Easily stressed by just daily life, the body forever trying to "cope" as needed, and becoming acidic. I've never had the perfect ph- number, even when I tried hard with a "perfect diet" - in fact I seemed to crave/need some acidic food to give me strengh, ="umph", to push myself. Strange creatures we all are, each with our own, mostly unconscious/secret reasons/challenges to "explore and master" life in one way or another....Anyway, it's nice to sometimes find company with "another weirdo like ourselves", since we seem to be the "one and only creature troubled this way" among our family and friends, who can only shake their heads in disbelief, when they ask us to share our physical "hang-ups".

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Are you sure you are an acid gal? If you can't get to sleep and you love acid food I'm hearing carnivore which means your blood is more alkaline than a balanced woman. Do you like meat? BTW, have you built up your calcium yet? LaurelAnd Laurel, you say you're alkaline ?I - an "acidic"blood girl - have used the skin brushing trick for 25 years morning and night, can't exist without it... And it takes about 2 hours in the morning including floor exercises, shower, and the Alan Bates' eye-sunning treatment (against dry eyes), and tea and a piece of fruit, (EFAs, DMAE and Gingko for brain and vascular), before I'm ready to fully brain function. Best help is a "wake-up" call in the morning, while still debating with myself to get up or not - yet! - because that raises the blood pressure right away...LOL. No telephone talk at night before bed, or I can't fall asleep...Before boring you much longer, - Here it's bedtime.......Charlotte------------------------- brain perk up technique> This is for the extreme alkaline gals.
