Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi Bee - just wanted to check. When I first wrote you about this, I asked if I should avoid them for now and you mentioned that I should ride it out as it is my body's way of getting rid of the toxins. I do think I seem to be quite sensitive to lemons. So do I ride it out and drink the required 6 electrolyte drinks in hopes that this goes away faster? Or because I am more sensitive to lemons right now, should I avoid them for now? I don't want to rush things, but I do want to be healthier sooner than later - will the electrolyte drinks help this happen faster? Or should I wait a bit until my body heals in other ways first? Thanks, Suzanne > +++Hi Suzanne. Like Jackie wrote some people are more sensitive to lemons, so they need to stay off them for awhile - that's mainly because of the fructose/sugar in them even though it is very low in lemons. > The best, Bee > > 1) Since starting the Electrolyte drinks (I haven't been having 6 a day, more like 3 a day) I have had nasty hives that are so itchy I can't sleep. They cover entirely my breasts, my mid back, my shoulders on my back and the back of my neck?!?!?!? I knew I had a severe reaction to citrus, so I was just avoiding it. I understand this is a skin reaction to toxins trying to get out of my body, but how long can I expect this to happen? Will it continue to happen until my digestion improves? I lather in coconut oil and have epsom salt baths, but it doesn't really help. It is always here, but the itchiness intensity changes. Most times I cannot sleep due to the itchiness.

You should avoid the lemons for another 2 months, and then try them again - but start with less drinks per day and gradually increase them. In the meantime add 1 1/2 teaspoons of ocean sea salt to your foods after cooking them so you get enough. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Kansas, Not to be harsh...but you cant fix stupid.....is his neuropathy a result of back problems or his diabetes? Smoking makes you generally unhealthy.....diabetes is probably why your hubby has nerve problems....you are correct..it is his life..but when you are married to someone..his life and your life become one...so what he does very much affects you....as far as the drinking....well not only should he not drink with the pain medication....drinking and diabetes do not go together..

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Smoking and diabetes equals loss of limbs, toes, feet, etc. Tell him that. And listen to Debra. Smoking also makes bad backs worse, it denies your spine of any nutrition. Like deb said...you can't fix stupid. ________________________________ From: Debra <i_ownaberner@...> spinal problems Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2009 8:55:50 PM Subject: Re: few questions Kansas, Not to be harsh...but you cant fix stupid.....is his neuropathy a result of back problems or his diabetes?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010  I just got Glenn's results of the hours and hours it took be diagnoses with AP. The report is so long and I am reading through it. Some of the writing in confusing and perhaps someone here might help me understand this comment. *** Glenn's scores were above the cut-off for communication, reciprocal social interaction, and the combined algorithm; in addition, his scores for play, stereotyped behaviors, and interests were consistent with an autism spectrum disorder. *** Then she goes on to say how he fails to look at them in the eye, how he turns away when questioned, how he is unable to read their facial gestures, interact with them in play, how he drops conversations with them in mid-sentence. How his speech is somewhat limited in pitch and variation and on occassion his intonation was unusual. *** I guess I would assume that if he were above the cut-off, I would understand it as he meet or exceeded that number that he didn't fall in the guidelines of Aspergers? or does it mean that if he exceeds that scale he falls into the guideline of Aspergers? Am I reading this wrong? There are several thing she refers to him being *above the cut-off* and then she goes on to explain details about how he failed to interact, talk to them, communicate, and other things.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I would say in this case that "above the cut-off" means he met the level showing Asperger's in these areas.
