Guest guest Posted September 20, 1999 Report Share Posted September 20, 1999 Theda, Saw your note about being paralyzed at night. It was explained to me that anyone with a chronic disease has more then just physical and mental disorders going on but a spiritual/energetic componet as well. Having those sensations could have to so with the electrical pathways in the body being " plugged up " , esp. if your also having bad vivid dreams. All tests for that would be negative because lab tests do not deal with those factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 1999 Report Share Posted November 11, 1999 Responding to issue of CONJUNCTIVITIS and eye wash with ozonated water,etc------ - I have used for years EYEBRIGHT FORMULA by Dr. . There are two different choices: EYEBRIGHT HERBAL CAPS (usually with green label/lid) or EYEBRIGHT FORMULA (yellow label/lid) by Nature's Way (who bought Dr. 's formula). The correct choice for healing is the FORMULA, because it has many agents such a cayenne which regenerates healthy tissue. Is does sting a little, but is powerful healing/cleansing agent. For soothing only, I use the simply Eyebright. -- Boil 2oz water, open 1 cap/dissolve. Stand for 10min. Strain. Use as eyewash with eyecup or three-four dropperfuls in each eye. Eyes are a unit and must always be treated simultaneously. Naturally apply more to afflicted eye. -- Store in refrigerator when not in use. Best to heat mildly (on pilot light of stove) the amount for each use. It can be applied every 2-3hours when infection present. -- This formula may also be used to treat all eye diseases, especially to prevent cataracts also. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please note that I am just sharing what all I have experienced, OYAGAMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 << Recently I have developed an extremely itchy scalp, and nothing seems to help. There is no dandruff, my scalp just itches like crazy. I started doing some internet research & realized that it may be linked to my tendency to develop yeast infections--I DID just recently stop taking anti-biotics, and I currently seem to be developing a vaginal yeast infection as well (I know y'all really want to know that, right?). >> Hi and welcome to the list! Yes it does indeed sound like you came to the right place. The itchy scalp is most certainly a yeast-related symptom. You'll have to follow a candidiasis diet and yeast-killing supplement program to really get rid of it, but a great spot treatment for itchy and/or flaky scalp is Welleda's Rosemary Hair Oil, which you can look for in health food stores or can probably order online somewhere. This by itself or mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil or grapefruit seed extract and rubbed into the scalp (left on a couple hours or overnight) does wonders for the scalp as well as gives you shiny hair! You can also try using apple cider vinegar as a scalp treatment. Take care! Jami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 In response to Stacie, it is my understanding that the only problem with being shocked in water is if you pass out. You won't shock anyone else or get burned. I have twice been held while being shocked, and the people say they can feel my body jump, but they don't feel any electrical current.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 I was shocked 5 times when my baby was 5 months old and in a front pack. I got the front pack off after the third one(it was the first time I'd been shocked, I'd only had an icd for 6 weeks). He slept through it all.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Fran, I have heard you tell this before and again I just think it is amazing. I think you are amazing. I can't imagine dealing with a icd and a baby. Did you have your icd through your progeny? Its stories like your and that make me realize that I can do it. My gosh I was in my forties before I needed a icd. As hard as it was for me to cope I can't imagine having small kids to cope with let alone a baby. You give me inspiration and make me think hey girl friend get a grip. Bless you! Crabby old Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Sharon-Actually I did not have my icd through my pregnancy. I had a relatively easy pregnancy (though I was 36 - some of us put things off longer than others. I did have pre-eclampsia and was induced, but even that was not so bad. I knew soon after my son was born that I wanted to have another one. But when he was just a little over 3 months old, I had my sudden cardiac death episode. Furtunately it was in the stairwell of the clinic where I had been for a well baby check. I did not drop him, but I fell. His crying saved my life. My diagnosis is postpartum cardiomyopathy, a very rare thing, and having more babies runs a risk of 60-75% of more and worse heart problems. As it was, my cardiac arrest was frightening for everyone and totally out of the blue. Initially, it was not clear how long I had been without oxygen, but as my husband would say, " it took more than that to shut you up. " Originally he was told I would be in the hospital for 6 weeks and in rehab relearning to talk for 6 months. I was in the hospital 2 weeks and wen t home with my new equipment. I probably recovered more readily because I believed I had to for my son. I also am lucky, because I was left with an occasional episode of Vfib and not other problems. And with an icd, an occasional episode of vfib won't kill you. So, it is pretty amazing. And next month that boy turns 10 on the release day of the Harry potter movie so you know where I'll be. My experience in having an icd is that many people have amazing stories and many people persevere and that little gadget keeps them alive through episodes so they can persevere the rest of the time. And while it's inspiring in some ways, most of us are just doing what we have to do to live our lives.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2001 Report Share Posted October 2, 2001 Fran, A hardy Happy Birthday to your son, and please enjoy the movie. I am sorry that you had to deal with such problems at such a young age, but I am very glad you coped so well. In a way knowing that soon I will be Grandma for the very first time has given me a great deal of strength and more determination than ever. I want to play an active part n this child's. My daughter and I are very close and we do a great many things together. Her husband is terrific and can usually persuade grumpy old hubby to tag along. I am already looking forward to a trip to Disney. We never had the money when the kids were younger to go places like that. But know look out world. I have started my own version of an exercise program and also using my cardio glide which I was told to be very careful on. I also have a special little puppy (he was severely inured at birth) and he and I are learning to walk and a slow pace. I am proud to say that when I went to the doctor the other day I weighed in 27lbs less that I did at the beginning of the year.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 > We have also done the Roux-en-y on 16 yos. They all weighed in the 400 pound range. Their wt loss has been fine but diet, supplement and exercise compliance has been fair to average. That is worrisome for long term nutrition issues that can arise.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Remember that much Italian food has always been GF and lactose-free. Eating GF in Italy is far, far easier than it is here. So, just hunt around and you'll find plenty of GF Italian food. H. In a message dated 3/13/06 8:44:33 AM, louise_gd@... writes: I would love to know more about The Spaghetti Factory.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 sent out the link to their menu - the actual name of the restaurant is The Old Spaghetti Factory. I will try to call them this week sometime. I am excited, too! However, Maggiano's in Santana Row in San is another Italian restaurant you can feel comfortable eating in. They usually carry g-f pasta, but I always bring some to make sure I am not disappointed if they run out. Have the waiters ask the chef which entrees' sauces are g-f. I usually order the Rigatoni D chicken marsala dish and my daughter usually orders the fettucine broccoli alfredo. Both are excellent dishes.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 We make a lot of italian food at home. My favorite side dish is Bette Hagman's french bread with a fresh basil, high quality olive oil (From the milkpail) and balsalmic vinegar dipping oil. Yum! There are a wide variety of pastas and polenta, risotto etc. available that you can make yourself... > > I would love to know more about The Spaghetti Factory. > > Would you be willing to do some research on them and > > let us know what you find?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I use it without problem. BRM has a gluten free dedicated line that include the GF labeled packs and the almond flour (a problem for most of us parents). if a gluten free grain is NOT labelled GF, that doesnt mean anything, only that it is NOT from the dedicated line and samples were NOT tested. I guess by tests and trials, you'll approve the level of xcon. Or not.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I haven't really found any polenta that contains gluten... Was there gluten in the imported Polenta? Of course cross contamination could be a problem... I haven't bought any of the boxes recently, but several of the prepackaged premade polenta tubes are labeled as GF if I remember correctly.. Actually I just picked one up from Trader Joes. > > We make a lot of italian food at home.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yeah- if I'm going to use the tube I slice it and top it with something, and then bake it in the oven like a little corn pizza. For a creamy polenta I use the box stuff. > > Ah, but it's great for grilling and sauteing.
