Guest guest Posted September 26, 1999 Report Share Posted September 26, 1999 Brit- does one have trouble with the sugar/peroxide insecticide solution attracting ants? Might it kill all the other insects, but encourage ants to proliferate?? Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused.. > Hi The difference is how it is given and absorbed. it is the same medication, but it is injected into a muscle so it doesn't go through the stomach and intestines for absorption. It goes directly into the blood stream via the muscles. I had to switch to IM metho as my body was not absorbing to po pills properly, thus it wasn't affecting my body. That is the only difference, although some say they have less side effects Im than PO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 Hi Kathleen, I have a great interest in herbs and did some research on wormwood. This is what I found: The parts of the plant (or flower if that is what it is?) that are used are the leaves and the tops. Their chemical & nutrient content in wormwood is Absinthol, acetylene, artemisic, ketone, essential oils, flavonoids, lignin, phenolic compounds, pinene, and thujone. It acts as a mild sedative, expels worms, increases stomach acidity, and lowers fever. It's useful for vascular disorders, including migraines, and for intestinal parasites. It's often used with black walnut for removal of parasites. I did find a BIG caution: It is not recommended for long-term use, as it can be habit-forming and it should never be used during pregnancy, as it can cause spontaneous abortions. I hope this helps some. I've had great success in cleansing and detoxifying my colon of and bowels by using a regiment of lemon juice cleansing enemas followed by coffee enemas. It's really very simple and it has made a big difference in my health. The one made out of lemon juice also restores the PH balance. If you or anyone would like the receipt's and the procedure (since you must have the right ratio of lemon juice to bottled water and the coffee one is made quite differently than you'd make a cup of coffee!), feel free to e-mail me at: Nan2594@... Hope this helps, Kit Message: 1 Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2000 14:10:40 EST From: " Kathleen " <kathykellyis@...> Subject: Re: Request for advice >Hi, I have two questions, hope someone can help.

Read my last post again, about testing AM cancer treatments, Art. All that I am asking of alternative cancer promoters is, essentially, " how do you know that your product/services work against cancer with any consistency? " . It's not brain surgery. Perhaps I haven't made this clear. Double blind studies are needed to test out things like treatments for headaches, which will often go away by themselves before a pill gets a chance to work. My wife has poor eyesight and has taken antacid tablets for her headache by mistake on a few occasions. They seemed to work, but I can't recommend them. > > OK, let's take stock.

Also the latest figures actually show a small drop in death rates from cancer. But I agree it looks bad. We know a fair bit about some of the factors causing the above. For example, smoking and lung cancer. Smoking is also strongly associated with a great many others - pancreas, oesophagus, oral cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer. When it is completely eliminated the incidence of many cancers will drop. Doctors have tried, but governments are hooked on the revenues, and people like the freedom to do themselves harm. Regarding the increasing risk of breast cancer, also a big factor in the above figures, the advent of easy contraception is undoubtedly one factor in any overall increase in the incidence, as women are having fewer children, and deferring pregnancy until later and later in life. These are known factors in breast cancer, independently of any effect of O/C itself. Other modern factors are increased body weight and fat intake. Dietary factors and exercise appear to be important in many other cancers. So if there is any breast-beating to be done it is perhaps about the difficulties of changing social behaviours that contribute to cancer. Incidentally the incidence of some cancers is falling eg stomach cancer-- we don't know why. We know also that most cancers are related to ageing. People are living longer and consequently getting more cancers. Regardless, life expectancies are steadily increasing.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 !! I've been wondering where you've been! I got your latest newsletter. Great job, as usual. You guys put out a quality product! And, thanks for the family pic. Your family now has a place of " honor " on our fridge! I happened to catch an article not to long ago by Dr. T. Berry Brazelton (ever see him on TV or read his columns? I guess he's our generation's Dr. Spock). He was saying that for prematurity adjustments, you not only count however many weeks early the baby was, you also count the amount of time they spent in NICU! Never heard that before. Using his formula, that makes S & P almost 8 mos behind, and more in line with their actual developmental delay of about 12 mos (last time they were tested, anyway). Just curious to see if you'd read this anywhere. Everyone else just uses the however many weeks early formula. Regarding talking, I think there are a bunch of us w/3 year olds that are frustrated by their lack of speech! However, S & P babble incessently (mostly to each other). THEY seem to understand each other, but the rest of the world (i.e. me and Mike) don't have a clue!! They are starting to sign more spontaneously, but, they can be stubborn about that too. If Mike is eating pretzels, they, of course, have to share. If he asks them if they'd like " more " , generally will sign " more-please " . Sam just looks at you with an expression like " he got some, how come I didn't " . is saying more things that sound like words to me. As usualy, once he gets rolling, I know Sam won't be far behind. Hope all is well w/you and yours in the Great White North. Has Spring-Sprung yet for you? Take care- Judi-Mom to Sam & , 3, Identical Twins __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 My Heart and prayers go out to both of you and your husband. It is a sin Goldy, that your husband had to find out the hard way of what you were trying to tell him. you need to find new Doctors to help you. So many out there still do not know enough to help and A Medical DR. isn't what you need. A Gastroentologist is what you need. You also need a good therapist to put you on anti-depression meds. My Husband has this disease and he is on Zoloft there are others out there and some work and some don't it is trial and error for this. The Zoloft works for him he is on an even keel and seems to be able to function better at home and work. His attitude is much better. He is not able to have the treatments so at least he has this. DR. said something about transplant in the future but who knows?? I have learned that the Patients need to tell the Doctors all there is to tell about how you feel and etc.. Otherwise they have no idea at all. Please don't give up . Goldy is your husband a candidate for treatments? Take Care, Irish~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 I think the possibilities are endless with enough response from the public. I would make the main issue her right to live and continue with making the judge aware of the miracles that have happened with hbot. Get your neighbors and friends to take time to write a letter also. In addition, several people are writing the the Tampa papers about this case. The big thing is to make it a very high profile case. If everyone on this list would put yourself in Terri's shoes and then decide if you can spare enough time to write a letter to this judge along with a postage stamp, you could have a part in saving Terri's life. Hartsoe Handicap Vehichle Information Just wanted you all to know if you are lookinf for a vehicle for a wheelchair lift stay away from Chevrolet. We bought a Chevrolet and had a lift installed several months ago it has been in the shop more than we have had it to use it is a new Van as well. We broke down the other day and we have extended warranty as well as road side assitance and rental car agreement we were on the side of the road with Katlyn in the car and when we called Cheverolet we told them this they said sorrry sir we can tow your car in but you will need to find a way home because we dont Give rentals untill we diagnose the problem if there is a after market Item installed such as the wheelchair lift. Oh this was Crazy. I went off needless to say because we were ont he side of the road. Tammy Carrington helped me get it took care of but we never heard of such. Just wanted you all to know. I hear the best place to go for a hanicapp van is Braun there expensive but if you break down they deliver a van to the location you are at.
