<<< and that the reason my family had it is because I was making them

hysterical. >>>

one of my daughter's teachers told her that just because her mom has it

doesn't mean she does . . . like it was any of her freakin' business .

.. . makes me wanna spit . . . they're so clueless . . . but my dr has

agreed to see her - can't get her in till dec 21, though.

last dr i took her to, after $1,000 not covered by my ins., and nasty

throat and swollen lymph, in spite of all the evidence staring her in

the face for 3 mos., finallly said, she " wasn't seeing evidence of it " ,

" she doesn't fit the criteria " , and we " both need counseling " .

could we just do one huge class action suit against 99.9% of the AMA LOL

but actually, it starts with the CDC and NIH not taking it seriously,

doesn't it. and then doing nothing to correct our " image " . . .

lol, on a rant today, i guess . . .

Dear Oyagama,

Does the light device cause die-off symptoms, or is it gentler?

RESPONDING TO " DIE-OFF BY LIGHT ENERGY " ......

MONO-CHROMATIC/RED LIGHT WAVE'S PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO REGENERATE HEALTHY

CELL, WHICH IS A SLOW PROCESS AND SUBTLE.

I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE'S BLOOD COUNTS NORMALISE (EVEN SEVERE CASES OF CANCER AND

LUKEMIA) AFTER 45DAYS' USE.

THE MOST RAPID EFFECT IS PAIN RELIEF, ESPECIALLY FOR BURNS.

Good luck to -stay with this site-it is soooooo helpful.

How blessed you are to have encountered an enlightened psychologist

I thought I was in the early stages of Alzheimer's and two mental health prof

wanted me to start on antidepressants. I refused and tried the whole list of

mental health professionals registered with my HMO to query their knowledge

of the relationship between candidiasis and various emotional/mental health

related sympatalogoy- none were really acquainted with this. I was lucky to

find,in my HMO, a nutritioist working with a doctor as a team to treat cand.

Because of my own experience with mental impairment due to memory loss/brain

fog, I had ceased to function in one of my specialities as a mental health

professional -as a psychotherapist. Now with a lot of spiritual grace and

support particularly from 12 Step programs (any 12 Step will do the trick)

observance of a supportive diet , a change in my relationship and attitude

toward foods I was addicted to e.g.sugar and bread- and a strong desire to

feel well again, I am on the road to recovery. I mention the 12 Step programs

bec there are so many available to EVERYONE, they are cost effective and one

gets the message that all the Gurus and medics under the sun can not help any

of us until we make that decision to invest in ourselves. It took me two

months to get to a place where I was prepared to even accept the fact that I

needed to change my dietary habits and that NO ONE except me could do it -and

I was not very willing! I was reacting like a spoiled pampered " poor me "

victim child.This site has been a tremendous help to me . Everyone's contrib

has been great- I would like to give a special word of thanks to Margaret

whose contribution has always been so gracious and professional and coming

from a place of love and I am in awe of the time and attention you have given

to this site so again- I hope what goes around comes around for you and

everyone else

I have another very important piece of my recovery info which I will add on

later in week

Thanks to everyone and if I do go back to practising psychotherapy, I

guarantee I will be a very knowledgable person in the area of candidiasis!!!

Thanks again to all of you and blessings

Sivasankar,

Did I get that right? ::whew::: From what I have noticed (and I may be

wrong) but mostly we are people that are in the process or have had joint

Wow. I love this chat group! Thanks to all of you who responded so quickly about

The Cologne Clinic and Dr. Gorter. I got his name from a Dutch friend, whose

kids went to Waldorf School (so the Rudolph Steiner connection makes sense). I

figured nobody would have even heard of the guy!

I appreciate's 's comment about alternative and complementary medicine. The

first thing i did after my diagnosis last October was contact a Chinese Medicine

doctor. The Pine Street benevolent Clinic, across the bay, is quite well known

for their work with cancer patients. However, for me, just having permission to

be still, in a very relaxed state, with the aid of the needles, feels like one

of the best things I can do for myself (and I would never have given myself

permission for this weekly indulgence if not for my diagnosis). I take herbs and

I drink wheatgrass daily (I am going to the Optimum Health Institue for two

weeks later this month). I eat lots of organic vegetables, I jog, and I do yoga

2-4 times a week-Bikram style. I have no expectation for magical cures, but I do

hope, that since I am stage 0 currently, that I can prevent some degeneration.

Our lives, food, air, water, communities, have become so aberrated over the last

hundred years or so. Of course there is no way to really tell if it's there's a

placebo mind over matter thing going on ... or is it the wheatgrass, or the

chinese herbs, or the acupuncture, or the yoga or no pesticides and humanely

raised chickens and beef ... wish there were some real clinical trials using

these things ... but it sure feels better to me to know that my healing

originates with something that works WITH the body and nature instead of against

it.... but then again, if the time comes, I'll fight with all the tools

available. (I am a hospice nurse, so believe me I see a LOT of the affects of

assorted medical treatments. I hear good stories and not so good.) But I do

feel like I am trying to treat my body with respect. I wish it was covered by my

medical insurance!!! :-)

My Chinese medicine doctor made no promises. In fact, he said what was most

important is being able to maintain positive changes in lifestyle. He gave me a

list of suggestions based on my personality and history and it made a LOT of

sense. I felt like he had a crystal ball after he 'read my pulses' and came up

with his analysis and recommendations. There ARE patterns that get us where we

are, internal and external. In most cases, with our diagnosis, we have a little

time to gently make changes and if we are lucky avoid the more drastic ones ...

but if we do the more drastic ones ... we can still support our healing by

making some of the positive changes that have needed to make to take care of

ourselves. Sometimes things like staying away from toxic people, jobs, food,

environments!! I read a bood called " Why I survive Aids " by Niro Markoff

Asistent. I recommend it. If I were to summarize it would be to say that healing

is a lot about RELEASE. Check it out!

Best to all and thanks for the response.

Question: I didn't know CLL/SLL could be 'cured'. I thought at best symptoms

could be supressed ... so I am confused about Bettie's report of complete

remission. What does it mean?

[Guest guest]

Hey, Rita. Great information here. " Complete remission " does not mean cured.

It simply means that all the nodes are back to normal size and I now have a

chance to try to keep them that way by whatever means I choose to try. Cancer

cells are so tiny that there will be some lurking around that won't show up on

CT scans. (I did not have a PET scan) However, since SLL is indolent, a report

of complete remission means I may have a long time (dare I hope for YEARS?) of

no problems. Bettie Jane Grant
