Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Hi Jelena, my name is Connie, I have about a months supply of Ribavarin and 2 weeks supply of interferon that I can not use at the moment because of problem with medical insurance. I would be glad to send it to you but I am not sure to how. They medicinces need to be refrigerated. Also, I don't know but maybe Commitment to Care would possibly help you. I am looking for their address for you. Maybe someone who sees this will know their address. Another place you can write and they may be able to steer you in right direction. I hope it works out for you. God Bless. Be in Charge Intake Initiatives 1250 Bayhill Drive, Suite 300 San Bruno, CA 94066-3049 I will also forward your e mail to an organization that is also helpful with information.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 Hi April: I have a lot of the same symtoms but my worst one was itching (constantly). It was so bad that my skin bled. My husband also had the itching but he always test negative for Hepatitis (what a relief). I have been on the combo for 6 months and have had ALL the sides but I never had any from the hepatitis, just the treatments. My doctor has me on the combo for 48 weeks no matter how good my blood tests are. I guess the longer you are on the medication the better chance of it not recurring you have. I've heard so many different opinions on that. I have a 1 year old and a 15 year old (step son). This summer I will have have 2 other step children (16 & 13). What a challenge this will be! My 1 year old keeps me going. I really don't know what I would have done if I didn't have her smiling face to look forward to every day. Things DO get better or they have for me. The shots are not what I had planned on doing 3 times a week at 37 years old but it does get to be a routine. Happy Easter! Grace and Jessie need advice >Hi all, > I know i don't post much I do read though I am so new >o all this that I relly am to new to contribute much. >I am still waiting to see the hepotologist for the >first time I don't know my viral load or genotype or >any of the other things I read about on here At least >not yet I do have a question latly my right leg has >been extremly swollen from my toes to my knee and when >i have been sitting for a half hour or longer I can >barely stand up I ache so bad in my legs Now I have >extremly light colored stool that has been too regular >for me normally Is any of this hep related and is any >of it a big concern that I should be going to see my >family doctor or can it wait till May 2 when I see hep >doctor.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 on the same token as that, i was wondering what books and sites you recommend i send all my relatives in the medical field to? my grandmother is a nurse an uncle who is govt. funded nutritional researcher, who BTW had a heart attack from eating poorly, but thats another story, and my aunt is a head nurse/physician's assistant. they promised me a good lecture for not getting sean his shots. well i can give it back (lecture), but what i really wanna do is shut them up, and they generally what i have to say about medical issues doesn't mean much to them :-) *smile* chris <snipped> Sherri - > what I need is just 1 or 2 of the books that you think are the best. > I can't give her a list of things to read.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 I have to say that it is not something we really discuss with our families much. When we did not circ Raiden my mil was supportive at first then because she is a huge Dr fan and Dr was against it, she suddenly tried to "educate" me. I was SO ticked. My husband told my fil and he knew that my mil was out of place and talked to her. She apologized and said " I am sorry, I did not realize you had done the research..." UGG So it is our business. And if they ask I will tell them, but I doubt they will. Besides, I know she (mil) thinks I am nuts for doing a homebirth...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 Maybe someone can come up with a Dr. shot so we'll all become immune to her. I'd take that risk! sindea wrote: I have to say that it is not something we really discuss with our families much. When we did not circ Raiden my mil was supportive at first then because she is a huge Dr fan and Dr was against it, she suddenly tried to "educate" me. I was SO ticked. My husband told my fil and he knew that my mil was out of place and talked to her. She apologized and said " I am sorry, I did not realize you had done the research..." UGG So it is our business. And if they ask I will tell them, but I doubt they will. Besides, I know she (mil) thinks I am nuts for doing a homebirth...Sindea http://www.geocities.com/camerasindea/HURFamily.html www.hurphotography.com Hmmmm...how about "I'm the PARENT that's why!!!"

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Hi Kandice, >Where do I go from here? I don't want to go to a medical doctor. >I don't believe much in medical-type cancer treatment if that is >what it is. But if I don't go mainstream, will I be in trouble >for neglect? If it were me, I would go to a medical doctor to get diagnostic tests done. If you don't get a diagnosis, it will chew you up inside. This does not mean that you have to allow medical treatment, if you don't feel it's right. It could be absolutely nothing. Wouldn't you like to know if that's the case? I was diagnosed with gallbladder disease. One doctor told me I should have it out, I told him I'd like to try some alternatives. That was my choice to make. A medical doctor cannot/will not do procedures against your will. Getting a diagnosis will make it easier for your Naturopath to come up with a treatment.

That probably doesn't sound very helpful but it would be difficult for anyone to attempt to suggest a remedy without know what needs to be treated. Why not start at your Naturapath who, I would have thought, would be able to help in someway even if it is only to suggest other places to get help. -- Steve - Cheltenham, UK --------- In love and light we are In darkness we are no less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Go to the medical system and see what it is. They can blood test and tell you immediately and remember that 90% of all lumps on your body are benign. Once you identify the problem then think about the treatment. Good luck and don't mess around, go get it checked. Regards . Need advice Hi, My 11 year old son came to me and asked me why he has a " bump " under his nipple. I felt it and it was pea sized and hard. He says it only hurts when he messes with it and this was the first time he noticed it. Where do I go from here? I don't want to go to a medical doctor. I don't believe much in medical-type cancer treatment if that is what it is. But if I don't go mainstream, will I be in trouble for neglect? What are my options for dealing with this " bump " naturally? I have a Naturopath who has dealt with a couple of my other kids for allergies and eczema and such. Is this a good place to start? What should I be doing as far as cleansing and diet for him? I just really don't know where to begin... Thanks for anything you can offer.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 It could be his hormones also, check with the Nat. Dr. first & see what he says he's at that stage where his hormones are changing, is there a discharge from the nipple? i babysit a little girl who had hard lumps on both sides of her breasts and her Dr. said they were her hormones & was not uncommon. good luck! let us know.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Oh, for pity's sake! I'm a man and for once this is something I already know about. Listen, this is not abnormal. This happened to me as I started puberty. It is in fact a hormonal thing but it's natural and will go away in a time period from a few weeks to a few months. When I was younger my parents bought me a book entitled something like, um, " What's Happening To My Body: Changes of Puberty " ... that's not the right title, this was 15 years ago at least (1984ish?) but you get the idea. The book warned me that this might happen, and when it did happen several months later I was completely calm, having been forwarned. It doesn't mean that the boy in question has cancer nor is he getting breasts or such (as the book warned such boys might fear), it's just a natural thing. You don't start growing hair on your chest etc without some chemical rearranging. So you may tell him an older guy (27, 28 this month) said it's a safe and good thing, and you might shop around or go to the library to give him a book like I got, that was one of the most useful things it told me. My wife says: " Of course, any bodily change is worth watching, and it's hardly a bad idea to take your kid to a naturopath no matter what the initial reason, just for peace of mind " --how can I argue with such wisdom? But I really do know about this and can only assure you from first-hand experience that this isn't something to worry about. --Park >From: naturalmom@... >Reply-candidiasisegroups >candidiasisegroups >Subject: Need advice >Date: Fri, 01 Sep 2000 21:55:16 -0000 > >Hi, >My 11 year old son came to me and asked me why he has a " bump " >under his nipple.
