Yes, Marty, you will survive.

I had my THR on 1 June, and it's getting better all the time. Today,

as usual, I walked 40 minutes without support, and I didn't limp

most of the time. One has to really concentrate on not limping at

first, and sometimes trying not to limp hurts--as least it did for

me--but it's getting easier all the time.

Don't forget to exercise after your operation. It takes discipline

and sacrifice, but it's worth it.

Best of success to you in the hospital.

Hi Mona, here's a list of docs in Maine. I have actually been to many of

them! Joe Py DO was the best but he closed his practice, I think I will be

looking for a new doc soon. I would really discourage the lapband

procedure--I have seen many people on here who should have had proper

thyroid treatment instead. Doc doesn't sound too great to me. You might

have better success on Armour thyroid. http://www.armourthyroid.com

year...it's so beautiful up there...I grew up on the coast of Maine...my doc

is in Winthrop Maine...she is a great doc but she is a 'by the book' kind

and after 10 years ...treating my thyroid is a 'last resort' requested by

ME! not suggested by her...she wants me to try the new 'lap band' surgery...

http://www.obesitylapbandsurgery.com/index.html I am not ready to blame food

believe I have no control over what I may or may not be doing to my body...I

seldom overeat...I am a very busy person and play with 4 active children

three days a week...I was always very thin most of my life then about age 35

I started gaining weight and getting very depressed and cold and couldn't

get enough sleep...now at 46 I'm over weight...and hate my body...but I

Hi Vicky

See if this article does not offer you some insights:

http://www.life-enthusiast.com/amino/vickery_autism.htm

partial quote:

Autistic children have been identified with high toxic metal levels, low

levels of metallothionein (MT), with metallothionein (MT) systems that don't

work, with low levels of glutathione and zinc, with low levels of sulfur and

with malfunctioning digestive systems (including leaky gut and food

allergies). Various different theories for the cause of these malfunctions

were proposed: genetic predisposition, nutritional deficiencies in pregnancy

or the toxic effects of infant immunizations. Regardless how this condition

came about, the challenge remains to somehow enable these impaired systems

to function normally.

Hi Katt,

Welcome, this site is very nice and they will answer your questions as

best they can. Everyone here is very helpful. There is also a chat on Sat nit 8

pm Eastern that has lots of nice people. It stays on until no one is

left......you never know how long. go to Lyme Disease Audio and sign in under

the

lyme chat.

Hang there, this illness is overwhelming. But now that you are learning

you will be able to understand why you feel so bad. I do hope you are getting

treatment.

Hugs,

Connie, Michigan

[Guest guest]

Hi Katt--

I'm pretty new here myself, but there is so much information to read, as I guess

you've been doing. I was diagnosed five years ago of having multiple tick bites

and I tested positive for Lyme. I also was on Cipro. I now have Fibromyalgia

with the Chronic Lyme Disease and I'm in pain every day. I manage somehow, just

like we all do.

I just wanted to say 'Welcome' and hope to be reading more from you.

Peace,

Ed

I see from your post that your son suffers from candida. My 3-year

old son was just diagnosed with it. I've been reading The Yeast

Connection, but this deals primarily with adults, and says little

about children. Can you recommend any good books about childhood

candida?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Interesting site - my comments re the following article..

-----------

*Men and mobiles: calls to take caution*

Mobile phones bring convenience and peace of mind, but the benefit of

always being contactable may have a downside. New research shows men who

regularly carry their mobiles near the groin, on a belt or in a pocket

could potentially have their sperm count reduced by as much as 30

percent, ACA reports.

The study, conducted by Hungarian researchers, suggests male fertility

could be affected by the radiation emitted by mobile phones. It also

found the sperm that did survive exposure to radiation showed abnormal

movements.

Dr Merry, vice-president of the Australian Medical Association

(AMA), says men shouldn't panic; rather the findings serve as a warning

to think carefully about what they do with their mobile phone.

" You want to be safe rather than sorry, " says Dr Merry. " Who knows if

this will have long-term implications for Australia's reproductive

future? _I think in the short term it's probably better to keep your

mobile phone in your jacket pocket or somewhere away from your groin._ "

---------------

So Dr Merry.. should I keep it near my heart then? - or my kidneys? - or

my liver, or lungs, or where exactly?, Or does the mobile phone only

single out and do damage to sperm?? Dr Merry sounds like he lost the

plot a long time ago.. They have solid evidence of cellular (no pun

intended) destruction and the concnsus us to move the damaging item to

somewhere less likely to be attributable to damage by mobile..

Ack - its so mindless..

Anyhow - I look forward to your progress in this field :-)

Cheers

Pete

Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back online. Excellent point.

However, there would be no reason to move the phone anywhere if

people used a Cell Chip Clearly, this is one reason why my company

reprints this article!

I'm still learning, so I really appreciate the knowledge here. Maybe

you can help me understand why so many people flat out refuse to

believe that EMF is dangerous? It seems like some have never heard of

EMF and others choose not believe. I cringe every time I see children

on a phone, but I don't feel comfortable saying anything. What is a

good way to get the information out?

Unless people experience illness due to EMF and realize it is causing it, it

is a big challenge to convince people that EMF is bad, and all those

convenient devices are causing illness.

My wife, even after she has seen how bad EMF has been for me, still walks

around with two cell phones turned on (one personal, one work). She wanted

to give my son a cell phone and I put a ban on that idea.

I think it is difficult to force-feed people that EMF is bad for them. We

can just hope that if information is presented the right way, and people

that get sick from EMF notice this valuable information so they can get

relief, that the word will continue to spread. Perhaps it will take

somebody in a very influential position or a major lawsuite to open up the

general populations eyes to the magnitude of this problem.

It seems that Europe is leading the way with governments noticing this EMF

issue.

Glenn

What kind of withdrawl symptoms did you experience from vioxx?

Welcome to the group!!! I

Cristen

[ ] New here

hello.

my story is pretty long so i'll put in highlights now and fill in the

blanks if others want to hear more.

i am 32 years old and suffered with thyroid problems for the last 12

years. in dec 03 i had a total thyroidectomy. it was very

successful. since that time we are discovering many new diseases in

my body that the thyroid was 'covering up'. a lot of the symptoms are

the same.

so i am recently diagnosed with RA, Sjogrens, osteopenia, some liver

problem we havent figured out yet, and other medical issues. i was

taking vioxx for the last 3 years and had to stop taking that. the

withdrawl was horrible!!! my rheumy put me on plaquenil 200 mg

2x/day. it has only been 3 weeks so i'm not really feeling relief yet.

i also have weight issues and need to loose about 40 pounds, but am

afraid of the pain i'll be left with so dont want to exercise. a

paradox? any ideas on this?

here is something ironic...i live in the desert and was told it was

good for arthritis pain, but recently went on vacation to mexico and

found the humidity was helping me out more. now i'm not planning on

moving but has anyone else found that humidity helps arthritis?

so, any help you can give me would be great. i'm new to arthritis and

am looking for a local support group in my town too.

thanks,

julie

Hi Tia:

I too have been battling Candida for a long time. It was getting

progressively worse and about a year ago I started experiencing what I

called a " racing heart " . It would wake me up in the middle of the night

(cardiac arythmia (sp?) I think it's called) Anyway, it really, really

scared me. Then I noticed that it usually coincided with an evening out and

having a social glass of wine or a drink or two.

I stopped drinking.

Then I did a lot of research and realized that my liver was probably under

stress. So I started cleansing as well as doing liver flushes. After 4

LF's, I indulged in a gin and tonic one evening last week - my first drink

in a year. And am glad to report that there was no racing heart.

You might investigate cleansing your system. Read the archives here and

also go to www.curezone.com where they have scads of info.

To your improved health - p

Pearl:

I know my racing heart was once caused by anxiety. And anxiety can be

caused by many things - in my case it was an infected tooth. Once removed,

the anxiety and racing heart disappeared.

Good luck in your search for the cause.

Hi Coleen,

I am feeling sad that your DH has stomach cancer - blessings to you

both.

I am new to the group also - just joined today. I do not know anyone

who is

using or has used Hulda 's remedy for curing cancer.

I want to suggest that you get Dr. 's new book, which has lots of

new info on her

research over the last several years - " The Prevention of All Cancers " .

If you can locate someone who can perform Syncrometer testing on him,

that

would be a great way to know what you need to do all the way around -

deal

with the malignancy, stop whatever is suppressing his immune system,

etc.

I don't know where to look or go to locate a tester. Maybe some

others in the

group can help out with that.

Also, I just recently came across a blood testing service that is

unique, and has

been used by many with cancer to help them get well. This may be a

valuable

alternative for you, if you are not able to get him tested with the

Syncrometer.

Go to this web link: www.yourfuturehealth.com or call 877-468-6934

(toll free).

The woman who developed this service has written a book about how she

came

to develop this, and how it has been a Godsend for many with serious

health

challenges. The info provided to you will tell you what you need to

do to deal with it

- natural stuff - lifestyle, supplementation and food - what to do and

what not to do.

The book is " Normal Blood Test Scores Aren't Good Enough " , by Ellie

Cullen.

There are several case histories of people with cancer in this book.

I like her

vision and philosophy a lot - I am going to use her preventive testing

service

myself. I have no involvement with this service other than being a

customer.

Know that your husband's cancer can be cured. Keep asking questions,

and

trust that the answers for your need will be forthcoming.

[Guest guest]

Hi guys and welcome,

Self health just introduced a syncrometer for sale, it's called the

zincrometer. And there were a couple of people on here previously that

had used the 21 day program for cancer...do search the archives and try

to find those emails. Best of luck,

Just adding the coconut oil won't do any good unless one has

a healthy diet to begin with. Coconut oil helps speed metabolism

but if one is eating all the wrong foods, it won't do much good.

One of the keys to losing weight using coconut oil is to replace all other

vegetable oils in your diet with coconut oil. A little olive oil is okay,

but the main oil in your diet should be coconut oil. Polyunsaturated oils

and hydrogenated oils and everything that contains them should be completely

eliminated. Also, you need to eat healthy and don't overeat.
