You could check by

getting a bicycle HGH test or ITT test and catrosyn (misspelled) stimulation

test.  These tests would determine if you have a blunted dynamic hormone

response/ HPA-axis (which is a sign of a brain injury).

-This may indeed show brain damage is present, but I don't think it proves

it. With CFS we are talking about something no one can define and if one

could then we would have a cure. Unfortunately, CFS may be caused by all

kinds of things for different people and b/c that is the case, perhaps there

is something in your body that cannot be found with any test Cheney can run

on you and that causes the blunted response you get from a hormone test.

Just to give you an example of why you should be more open-minded to this is

the following:

Muscle testing I did 2.5 weeks ago found I had mercury poisoning in my lymph

(I don't have the notes in front of me but I think this was the case). This

is the same muscle testing (whether you believe in it or not, and whether it

eventually helps me or not remains to be seen so I am perfectly open to it

not helping as I am always skeptical about anything helping due to my history

of trying things and nothing working) that found heart valve problems in the

nurse's autistic son (this nurse is now treating me under the protocol set up

by the N.D. who muscle tested me but is living in Orlando so I can't continue

to see her). Now, mercury poisoning will not show up in my blood nor in the

hair analysis, but muscle testing shows it's in my lymph. If I am able to

get rid of this mercury then maybe I can relieve some of my CFS. But the

mercury alone is probably not the problem as the muscle testing also showed I

had blockages in my adrenals (both outer and inner cortex), parathyroid,

thymus, and suffer electrolyte deficiency. If this muscle testing is correct

then I have my own set of circumstances that are unique to me and

cumulatively cause my CFS. I know I can't prove my point very well using

something as theoretical as muscle testing (certainly not a science) but it's

a good analogy at least. Anyways, brain damage can't be " proven " by a couple

tests any more than this muscle testing " proves " I have wrong with me what

the muscle testing shows I have wrong with me.

Hi all,

I have been having stomach problems for the last few days. I have trouble

swallowing and also I have stomach cramps, running to bathroom and generally

feel crummy. I went to the family doctor and he didn't know what was going

on. My liver specialist is kinda far from me. I called and he said to lay

off the actigall for a while. Also my itching is driving me crazy. Am I

making a mountain out of a molehill? Anybody else going through this?

For itching, ask for a prescription for Atarax. The itching could be a symptom of something that needs to be dealt with, and your doctor needs to talk with you about it.

I went through the same thing except having to run to the bathroom. My dr gave me some nexium for the stomach and also levbid for the cramping. Swallowing sometimes is hard but not always. The only time I was itching was when she put me on Vioxx. Good luck. Ann Re: [ ] Digest Number 1886 Hi all,I have been having stomach problems for the last few days.

I'd still want to double check.... there's a difference in safety for 'wash

off' products... soaps and cleansers...and " leave on " products like

lotions, creams and balms.

Hi

Do you know hat sort of exercise they are doing? My Sammy needs them too

>>>My 4.6 year old Aspergers DS has been incredibly chewy for the last 7

months, he is putting all sorts of things(especially toys) in his

mouth. I added Zinc which I have been giving him for the last 20 days

about 30mg every night, but there has been no change in his chewing,

his chewing is less at home but more in social situations, also he

grinds his teeth all night long.

How long does Zinc take to have an effect, has someone actually

seen chewing stop with Zinc?<<<

My son is also a big time chewer, although it seems to be getting a little

better lately. His zinc levels have been tested and are normal. He also gets

zinc in his vitamin. Sammy's problem is more of an oral motor issue. He just

doesn't have enough awareness (for lack of a better word) of his mouth and

mouth positioning for sounds/words, etc. He just seeks more oral input, thus

the chewing. We have been taking him for oral motor therapy and they have

also been doing more of it at school and it is making a difference. He is

definitely chewing less and he actually ate one piece of a meatball and one

piece of chicken piccata the other day, which was HUGE for him. Have you

ever had your son oral motor skills evaluated for this? For Sammy, it was

pretty obvious when you look at his mouth position (usually slightly open

mouth). His nutritionist picked up on it while he was sleeping in her

office! She is convinced the oral motor therapy will help improve his very

picky eating as well.

Good luck.

, I'm jealous of those white counts...LOL...just kidding :-)

WOAH...way to go on the response your daughter gets! We're doing a happy dance

if my

boys WBC goes into the normal range when they are sick (i.e. 5.0 and we're

doing lots of hoops and loops)

If you are using hcg that comes in 10,000 IU vials and you

reconstitute it in 10cc of water, it will 1,000IU of hcg per 1cc.

500IU would be 0.5cc.
