Moe,

Unicity/Rexall has a product called the " paraway pak " and

it is used to get rid of internal parasites naturally and

safely without a bunch of chemicals that can wreck havoc

on your liver,, isnt it already hurtin enough?

I am using it after a trip to mexico and at that time did

not know I had hep c,, drank a lot of alcohol and a lot

of jello shooters ( made with water) oops,, got bugs,,

and it is clearing it safely... One of the problems with

a chemical that kills the parasites is that many times

they are still attached to your intestinal wall and end

up having to die and them break down , and rot in your

gut, and that makes its own toxins etc,, this product

makes the parasite let go and then you naturally

eliminate it before it dies or as it dies and so you dont

have to wait until it totally breaks down before it it

totally eliminated.. much safer.. If you want more info,,

let me know,, jackie

Dear Moe,

Thanks for your in depth response, it is very interesting in terms of

the "allergies" as well, I have been using "greens" but it has soy

lecithin in it, so i'm avoiding it for now. I'm taking an herbal

preparation with wormwood and oregano that my chinese doctor gave me for

the H pilori, the toxoplasmosis is supposed to be harder to get rid of...I;'m

interested in getting rid of them because she says my immune response in

my gut is very low and this is taxing my entire immune system. Also

allergies to wheat and soy if i'm eating them are interfering with the

digestion /absorption of Dr. zhangs herbs which i am taking. will

let you know what happens, we had decided not to pursue antibiotics, even

my gastro agreed.

Subject: question

I am wondering if anyone has had any experience

with the following. I

have been looking for "an obstacle to cure"

with my herbal program,

Chinese, etc. meaning what is preventing

them from working and I was

recently diagnosed with allergies to wheat

and soy as well as two

parasites, does anyone know about getting

rid of them without

antibiotics?

Thanks

Kay,

Dr. Young would say that it's

acid, in a nutshell. He's saying that the body is self-healing,

including allergies when it's alkaline, not acid.

This is a huge oversimplification, and for space reasons, not suitable

for this venue. He goes into it in depth at

http://www.innerlightfoundation.org.

As for parasites, they can

not live in a mineral rich body, and a mineral rich body is an alkaline

body. MSM works wonders regarding parasites because it strengthens

the mucous membranes of the body providing resistance to foreign invaders.

Think of MSM as a coating of teflon on your intestines, preventing parasites

from taking hold, but that's still a bandaid that misses the whole picture

of why the parasites are there.

Parasites are needful when

the body is broken down, and in an acid condition. When Dr. Young

talks about an acid condition, with regard to "germs" or parasites, he's

saying that they simply can't exist in an alkaline environment. There is

not need to KILL parasites, as there is to remove the environment that

they thrive in. The healthy body is the cure, not the parasite cleanse,

or whatever herbs kill parasites. He calls this the New Biology.

When the body's fluids are properly balanced, the body heals spontaneously.

Bam. Poof.

He further says that the toxins

produced within an overly acidic, oxygen deprived body contribute

significantly to what are often called symptoms of allergy. In addition

,the absorption of undigested proteins is a major cause of allergy conditions.

A weakened digestive system, which prevents the total breakdown of amino

acids is the primary cause of food allergies. His remedy is SuperGreens

and Prime pH. And that, is simply, the NEW BIOLOGY. (see his site

above for more info, and my site below for his incredible InnerLight products.)

The body is the cure. Herbs

are only useful to bring into balance what is out of balance. They

have never been the "cure".

Not sure if it is any help, but according to the R.G.A. publication I

referred to earlier in the week ( " Living with Restricted Growth " and a

subtitle of " A Community InformationLeaflet " .), dwarfs are usually between

3'6 " and 4'8 " .

Hi,

I will answer this briefly as these are not layterms but the description will

make it clear:

1.what else besides liver problems would make your enzymes go

up (ALT and AST)

A: Heart attack, gall stone and bile duct stones,post -surgery, post-anesthesia,

High lipid levels in blood.

2.hep C from I.V drug use and contaminated

needles

A:

1)Per se using drugs by iv route or using unwashed or dirty needles, will NOT

cause Hep C.( drugs dont have the virus).

2)Repeatedly injecting yurself will also NOT cause HepC

3)IV drug usage is linked with sharing needles with other people , that causes

contamination of needles and can then transmit HCV, HBV or HIV.

4)Conataminated needle means..contaminated with another persons blood or fluids

so it may have a virus.

Dr Sharat Misra MD,DM,FACG

This question came up in a conversation in a group where hep ws the

topic--what else besides liver problems would make your enzymes go

up (ALT and AST) Also, another question, was u read and i hv several

times that u " can " get hep C from I.V drug use and contaminated

needles. This turned into a big discussion as one person stated that

he either got from someone else or he gave it to " himself " . I hv had

a couple people say that. Now, logic to me would be the virus would

hv to be there to start with b4 anyone cd get it. As far as the guy

giving it to himself, and asking for an explanation on that statement

he said with his i.v. use even though he used his own needle and no

one elses that he gave it to himself because there is always the

matter of " dried blood or blood left in the needle that u can't even

see but it is there and he says that wd be how he gave it to himself.

I am still of the mind the virus had to be there first no matter

what.Also, I hv read many articles that says u can get it from i.v.

drug use and contaminated needles. Well, that sentence always

bothered me because I understand how u get it thru drug use but now

as far as the contaminated needles, do these articles mean that the

needles were dirty from say dirt, just unclean without the virus

being there but getting it just because the needle ws dirty. There

again logic tells me still yet -that the virus would still hv to be

on that needle. I hope I am not coming off as being stupid-some of

these things i do ask, i do feel stupid, but this became such a big

discussion yesterday that i feel the need to ask and get some answers.

Any and all responses welcome.

Thanks

Cheri,

You can go to: http://www.carbonbased.com/cbcblood.htm and look

up blood tests, what is normal and abnormal, and what it could mean.

As for contaminated needles - that expression is used to mean needles

that have been already used. A new needle is not contaminated, but

once it has been used it is. That doesn't mean that the virus

suddenly starts growing there. You are right, it had to come from

somewhere else first. He couldn't 'give it to himself' if he didn't

already have it.

Becki!!!, Hi hun !!! I use the off brands myself quitew often, although I do know that with some mediactions the generic for the name brand is not quite up to par ex. Synthroid ...the generic is not equal to the name brand ) this got me in lots of trouble once. But as for using store brands over name brands well if the truth be know its ussually produced in the same factory but just issued a different label. They have to list all ingedients so read the labels and then beings is only 3 and I've not heard you say his weight , well I would at least talk to my pharmacist, because it might be that at his weight and age, that he is already on the max. dose that is safe. So we wouldn't want you to inadvertently cause stomach problems or some other type reaction that might be brought on by a little too much for his size ! My mom is a nurse and she always told me that most people under mediacte themselves in the case of say taking tylenol for a headache or fever. She says that that's like not taking it at all, if your under dosed. So just check with the pharmacist and know david's weight when you call. I agree with you about the money, my mother resorted to purchasing coated aspirin by the thousands for me when I was ten through the nursing home she worked for. I took 40 a day for aprroximately 6 years. A thousand at a time was about 3/4 the price of 100 at a time. Wish you knew a nurse or someone that could get a large supply like that for you!! Pharmacist may be able to order you in a huge bottle too !!!!!!!! omg I was going to just give my opinion lol I need some of those chinese finger traps that I was explaining to Donna's youngest son today lol!!! Love you guys, :):):)Tree:):):) question hey gang,its Becki, I got a question about Ibuprofin. takesover the counter childrens motrin,it is such a rip off.He goes through8-10 bottles a month at $6 a bottle that is $50-$60 a month. canswallow a Clarinex pill,and he can swallow his Plaquenil pill,all withno problem.I was at Wal Mart today and was looking at adult Ibuprofinwhich comes in 200mg pills. takes 200mg 4 times a day.I bought 250pills for $4.97 it will last 62.5 days saving me $95 every two months.Myquestion is,I bought Wal mart brand,the only active ingrediant is 200mgIbuprofin,would there be any differance between a generic Ibuprofin andsay Motrin or Advil?I know this question sounds stupid but you know theold saying,if its to good to be true it probably is.The money I wouldsave will pay for all his other medications,and our membership to theYMCA,where can swim in the indoor pool and get some goodexercise,plus leave about $30 a month which would pay for privateconsult PT once a month now that school is almost out and he wont beable to recieve it untill this fall when school starts back up.Thisswitch would be very good on our familys pocket book,his Motrin was hismost expensive medication.Thanks a bunch.

Becki,

Hi, there is absolutly no difference in motrin or ibuprofin. They are the same exact drug, but "Motrin" , "Advil" are just name brands that sell at a higher price. Wal-Mart brand ibuprofin is the same thing, so, I agree, if its cheaper and he can swallow the pills with no problem, them give him those. It will save your pocket book ALOT!!!!! Good Luck!!

Hi Becki,

I agree also; since they are the same active ingredients I would use it too. Dosen't seem like there would be a difference at all and It seems like I saw that on the news one time that generic brands are just as good as the name brand so good luck and take care. Oh, and everyone Happy Mothers Day! Jona,mom of na 2 poly

Generally when you fill your prescriptions the pharmacist will

substitute a generic . Most insurance companies insist on generics.

They are generally as effective. I always buy the generic. Our

daughter takes Zantac. The name brand is quite expensive. I can't

remember the price. It was about $10-15 for a weeks supply I think.

At Costco I can get a couple month supply for that price (or less)

generic. If you have a Costco or Sams or similar they are even better

than WalMart. But if not go with the WalMart. Save the money. use it

for something good. Or for something fun!

PS I am a nurse and we always use generics unless there is only a

name brand

Hi Becki!

The only thing that is different from the "brand" and the "off brand" is the fillers that they use to make up the pill. If your child can tolerate the off brand GO FOR IT! The active ingredients is the only part of the medicine that is important.

Have a sunny day!

Hi maria,

Bri's ped. rheumy told us to do the range of motion. Each joint 20 times a day. Even if you can only get them to do 3 or 4 at a time as long as by the end of the day you have done each affected joint 20 times in range of motion. Meaning; taking her foot, one at a time and moving it in a circular motion, very slow and gently. Then hold her foot up(working the ankle joint) and then down. Bending and straightening her leg(working the knee because of stiffness, and she use to couldn't bend her legs straight out) And just each joint in a range of motion gently and slowly. And you can also gently massage their muscles. And we are not lucky enough to have the aqua therapy where we go unless it's something I don't know about cause shes so young but I havn't never asked either. Hope that helped. Hope Rob is doing ok with all this. He is in our prayers Jona and Bri 2 poly

I am going to try to get him to do exercises in the morning and at night as a habit for life (I hope!). As well as joining the local pool and swimming several nights a week. I have been doing some simple stretching with him morning and night, but was just wondering what kinds of routines you all do.Thanks

Hi, . Now that Chris' pain is better controlled, he feels better and is able to do more. We joined a health club in order to get him moving. He has really done well, and is thinning out (although growing taller seems to be what has helped in that respect). He is able to swim, walk or run on the treadmill, use weights and exercise machines. His self esteem has really improved and is even talking about maybe playing sports again. He goes at his own pace. Plus he does yard work around the house now that he can walk without a limp again. The meds are what has really helped him. That and the pt he received when he was first diagnosed. That started the ball rolling for him. Michele

A question for anyone,

The below quote came from a doctor discussing

synthetic thyroid.

My question: If a person who had normal thyroid

function took Armour

thyroid, would it hurt them?

Jim

" no scientific evidence (lab numbers) that I need it.

She said that

doctors use the abnormal lab result numbers to

determine the dosage

amounts. Since my numbers are " normal " , she wouldn't

know how much to

prescribe, and I could have awful side effects. "
