Re: a couple of questions from cosima about epsom salts baths and nystatin supposito

[Guest guest]

Cosima, a doctor has to prescribe Nystatin suppositories for you, they

aren't over the counter.

As for the food, please don't stress over this right now. I noticed

when I still had my implants in, if got myself into a bad emotional

state, my symptoms increased. Especially the numbness in my

fingertips, which has gone away. I've seen reports where some

vegetables do retain their nutrient value if they're cooked, although

there might be some compounds that you might get from raw vegetables

as opposed to cooked, I think it's better to eat them cooked than to

not eat them at all. On the following website, I checked the

nutritional value of carrots raw vs. cooked, and they are still high

in vitamin A when cooked,

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/. Perhaps you can look

at what you like to eat and see if it's still nutritional to eat it

cooked. If eating foods raw is distasteful to you or if it's going to

cause you undue stress, keep eating them cooked but maybe you could

just make a nice salad with some of the vegetables that you like raw.

Last night I remembered something my mother-in-law used to prepare,

she made an escarole salad with lemon instead of vinegar, and olive

oil, and salt (we can use sea salt), and it was incredible! I was

surprised to see how tasty lemon juice with olive oil was on a salad.

Just avoid junk food and processed food, drink your water, and kiss

your worries up to God. Your surgery is coming up in a few weeks, so

just look forward to that and we're here to get you through it. If

there are certain medications you need, don't worry about them for

now, and see how you feel after your explantation. Then if you're

still feeling poorly, you can experiment. I went into an early

menopause a few years back, I think I was 41 or so. For two years I

didn't take any hormones but certain things would put me into hotflash

city - like synthetic vitamins, and Diflucan!! About 2 years ago my

gyno gave me a prescription for the pill to replace my hormones. It

worked well until I got the implants, but after that I felt like I

wasn't tolerating the pill very well and a few weeks ago I

discontinued it. I'm doing ok without it. I've been eating flaxseed

which apparently has some natural estrogens in it, so maybe that's

helping. The most important thing is getting the implants out of your

body, because right now they're still wreaking havoc on your system.

The implants are a catastrophy, by all means, but please try not to

worry too much about the other stuff right now and try not to get

yourself into a state of mind where you think everything is hopeless.

My mindset was that everything was hopeless before I had my implants

out, but once I was explanted I felt differently. Before I had my

implants out, I was having panic attacks quite frequently, but in the

5 weeks since I've had them out, I haven't had a single one. The

Cipro sounds like it might be adding to your anxiety, but you're in

the home stretch and should be off that soon - and as someone else

suggested, maybe you need to contact Dr. Kolb and tell her about the

halucinations, because she might want to switch you to something

else.

Cosima, just for grins I went to the website I told you about, and

first I checked Collard Greens cooked, then I checked that same

vegetable raw. Well, the vitamin A and lutein content INCREASED

DRAMATICALLY when you cooked it, so if this information is accurate,

then you're doing yourself good by eating them cooked.

Monistat is sold over the counter . . . Maybe that

would help.

ok, no wonder i couldn't find that stuff. and yeah, i knew there were

some foods that needed to be cooked in order to get their nutrients

because you just can't eat them otherwise. like rutabegas, you just

can't bite into one and chew.they're very hard. but i got a little

confused about all that while reading the posts.which happens a lot

lately. thanks for all the advice and support from you guys and for

putting up with me.

The vitamin content may increase but the natural enzymes that are in food

are killed by cooking at high temperatures. If you must cook vegetables,

lightly steam them to keep their vitamin and enzyme content high. Also, use

the freshest produce you can. Produce loses it's enzymes and vitamins the

longer it sits.
