Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Hello! I'm back after being out of town for the holidays. I just tried the website for the poll, but it seems to want a password. Is there information about this that I missed while I was away?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 Nope, you have to go to egroups and sign up properly. I shifted you over to get everyone off the Topica site and in so doing, you missed the opportunity to sign yourself up. So just go to the area which asks you to sign up and you can create your own password. Jill I'm back after being out of town for the holidays.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 If you have time, could you include small descriptions of what each of these remedies is? I'm not familiar with several of them. You could either post them to the list or put them on a webpage. Just a thought. Thanx! --le New poll for ceda > > Enter your vote today!

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 Dear , I am a registered nurse as well as a nutritionist with natural health certifications. I have EDS vascular type, so my remedies would be different than yours, but if you want to email me with information about the type EDS you have, any important medical history, any allergies you have, and any medications you are on I would be happy to see if anything is appropriate for you. I would suggest for anyone a good natural multiple vitamen and Vit C, which helps with all types of EDS, as far as the easy bruisability, and all types do have higher risks of vascular problems than the general population. Please feel free to contact me either by email at smginleyrn@... or by phone in the US @ . Please leave a message if I don't answer because my sister is in the hospital with a stroke right now and I am up at the hospital keeping everyone on their toes, because they all like to pretend they know about EDS, when they don't. Love to hear from you. Ginley, RN, CNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 Hi -- Ok, I tried going to the poll webpage but am having trouble getting it to work with my screen reader. You asked which of the alternative pain remedies on your list that I have questions about. Looking over your list, I'm not familiar with more than half of them. I use aroma therapy all the time -- love good smells, and they can be relaxing and distracting from pain if the pain isn't too bad. I've never tried accupuncture. What is the difference between massage therapy, accupressure and therapeutic touch? Chiropractors never helped me much. Can anyone suggest some good herbal remedies? Anyway, rather than retype half your list, I've marked all the ones I want more info on with ** (see below). Thanks for any info. --le New poll for ceda > > > > > > Enter your vote today!

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 Hi . I can answer the Reiki question/therapeutic touch. (e H feel free to jump in here!) I am a Reiki practitioner Level II. It is a Japanese form of healing/therapeutic touch that taps into the universal energy that is all around us. By putting " hands on " a person, the energy is transferred to that person. It is very relaxing. My speciality is acute/chronic pain. I can reduce and/or take away pain a person is feeling by putting my hands on that area and sending them energy. Ayurvedic Medicine is an herbal medicine from India. Very effective I'm told. Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
