Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi Krista, When I went to my family physician last week he ran a CBC, thyroid panel, and he also wanted to check my vitamin levels. I'm going to the naturopath tonight at 6:00 pm so I'll let you know if he does any additional testing.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi Krista, I had swollen lymph nodes in my armpits which Dr. Kolb removed. I wouldn't resort to that w/ yours...in fact had I read more about it before surgery, I would have said no. After reading up on it and talking with my chiro's they suggest lymphatic massage and using a rebounder (mini trampoline). I bought my rebounder at Wal-Mart for only $20 and it works great. Apparently just rebounding for 3 minutes allows one complete flush/circulation cycle of your lymph system, clearing out the toxins. In the beginning I tried to bounce for 10 minutes...very boring but if you turn on music, it's not so bad.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have had those groin lymph nodes swollen at times, think it is just part of the autoimmune stuff.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Forgot to add...the blood tests I had run were ANA (autoimmune antibodies), SED (sedimentation rate), ESR(not sure), thyroid Free T- 3 and 4, thyroid antibodies, Vit D, Vit b-12, CMV (cytomegalovirus), EBV(epstein barr virus), zinc, cortisol, heavy metals, tons of tests at infectious disease for obscure things like very rare autoimmune diseases, AIDS and syphyllis (a waste of time as I already knew I didn't have those, but the docs insisted). In addition to the above, Dr. Mercola is checking all vit levels by blood and I'm doing a 4 day stool test to check for fungi and pathogens. I also did an organic acid urine test and a saliva test to measure cortisol. Oh, I also had a hair analysis test for heavy metals which is really important. If you have heavy metals, you need to address those because it's more difficult to get rid of the fungus with the presence of the metals...ionic foot baths and supplements take care of the metal detox. - PH > > > > I still have some terribly swollen lymph nodes in my groin that I > want > > to get checked out.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Lynda- Were your lymph nodes like small gumballs? I have two that are small like little gumballs. They've been there for the last 4 months or so. I think I'd just feel more comfortable getting them checked out. I'm sure it is nothing to worry about, but I just want to ease my mind. ~Krista > > >I still have some terribly swollen lymph nodes in my groin that I want > >to get checked out.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 PH- Yeah, I'm definitely not intersested in getting them removed. In Jordan's book he also talks about the diet helping with your lymph system, clearing out clogged lymph nodes (which seems like what I have.) I like the idea of a mini trapoline! Maybe I'll give that a try! Love, Krista > > > > I still have some terribly swollen lymph nodes in my groin that I > want > > to get checked out.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks PH. I will have her run as many of these as she thinks necessary. I'm pretty sure she'll run anything that I'd like her to. Thanks! Love, Krista > > > > > > I still have some terribly swollen lymph nodes in my groin that I > > want > > > to get checked out.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 No, just swollen and very tender.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Krista, Isn't his personal story awesome?! In the beginning of this illness I wanted to move to San Diego and live on the beach like he did so I could get well from the fresh air and sun. It's just not the same in the city. Leighland, the woman who wrote Breasts to Die For moved to a remote beach in Hawaii and feels that swimming in the ocean daily helped her recover. It's so hard to detox the way I need to...oh, that reminds me...my sister went to a candida detox retreat somewhere outside of Denver or Boulder. I'll let you and all the other Colorodians(???) know where it is! Love, PH > > > > > > I still have some terribly swollen lymph nodes in my groin that I > > want > > > to get checked out.
