Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Dear Elena My heart cries out to you, especially these last couple of weeks. I was bed and pain and cognitive bound before I started the oral SAM-e two years ago. I had an effect with my very first dose of one 200 mg enteric coated tab of SAM-e..... my dose was slowly increased and now I take between 800 and 1600 mg per day (and, sometimes I miss several days and am ok) depending on how I am functioning. On another list, it is said that TMG (trimethly glycine also known as Betaine) should have the same effect as it is also a methyl donor. So, Elena, there are two options to your injections. I know you are in south america and getting things can be difficult for you. How can I help?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Hi Leslye:), Thnx for the kind words. Sometimes I hit the mark and sometimes I'm sooooo far off the mark that it hits me! lol All in all, I'm a thinker and from all my posts, right or wrong, left or right, top or bottom, I hope they stir its readers to think for themselves and not because their click of friends told them what to believe, and then to possibly see another angle to the current isssue at hand. An angle they may have never thought of or even thought existed. luv, grady " Thinking is the best way to travel. " Pinder of the Moody Blues > Very well said, Grady. You really got to the crux of this whole issue. Leslye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I've got Hashi's too - what books have you ordered a few books about folks that cured Hashimoto???? Would be interested to find out. I am researching so I can get this goiter smaller and feel better! Just finished reading Thyroid Power - good book! Thanks guys!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 The book is " How I reversed my hashimoto's thyroiditis hypothyroidism " by Dirgo. The essence of the book is a better diet (food & specific supplements) to support the body's immune system to rid of the problem plaguing the thyroid. It took me just about an hour to read the book, short one. Most of the stuff is already discussed on this forum but there were a few things I was not aware of that the author seems to believe helps in the recovery. One is to stay away from simple and complex carbs, for that matter all carbs. A diet rich in protein and fats will regulate evenly the demand for insulin by the body thereby minimizing the stress to the body form the insulin swings carbs tend to create. Two, regular exercise of some sort. Now that for me is easier to type it on the keyboard than to actualy do it. I will do once a week then twice a week to graduate to 3 to 4 times a week. I'll keep y'all up to date on that one. Three, CoQ10 is said to enhance the Krebb's cycle and therefore the immune system. Four, rest as much as you can. Fifth, drink lots of good clean purified water. If you can afford it, reverse osmosis or distilled water. Sixth, Vitamin E, Garlic Seventh, Blue Green algae like Spirulina. Eigth, Good digestive enzymes so that the food you eat is digested properly. The more raw foods you eat the better. Myself I drink about 6 to 8 cups of Kefir daily, along with raw milk and raw eggs & brewer's yeast. Lately my diet has been mostly liquid to further decrease the stress I impose to the body to give more energy to the immune system. I can tell you that I have more energy more frequently. I WILL BEAT THIS HASHIMOTO!!!!! It is just a matter of time. The summation of the book above is a very shortened one and really does not do justice to the book. I got mine at Amazon.com at about $15 with free shipping since I ordered total over $25. BTW, also it is recomended to record and plot your temperature daily to get feedback on how you are doing. I have been doing so for about 2 weeks so far. When I run a 10 day average curve to it, I can already see an improvement. Usualy at this time of the morning, my fingers are still cold and they are not right now. I now and feel that I'm making progress and I thank you all for being part of that success and support.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 said: I'll definitely have to order all 5 books on audiotape. , this is Marcy, your friendly neighborhood librarian, weighing in here. You are in for a treat. Jim Dale, the man who narrates the Harry Potter tapes, is one of the seven wonders of the world. Listening to the series is a totally different experience from reading them to oneself. The tapes are absolutely superb. Not only is his voice crystal clear, even with the British accent, but you will soon find yourself able to recognize which character is speaking. How he does it I cannot imagine, but he is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most recent tape - over a hundred distinct different character voices. For anyone who has reached the point of being able to understand speech, I highly recommend this wonderful audio experience. As far as I am concerned, being able to listen to the HP tapes is a perfectly valid reason for getting a CI!

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Marcy, When I was growing up I used to *love* listening to talking books! I used to sit for hours on end listening to all kinds of magazines and books. Sometimes I read books 2 or 3 times because I was memorized by the sound of a person's voice and how they read text aloud. Unfortunately as my hearing loss worsened, talking books put me to sleep because I had such a difficult time hearing and understanding them. I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't purchased any talking books as of yet. I used to receive talking books through the National Library Service for the Blind, but they stopped sending them to me after I lost my hearing. I really should start ordering them again -- and get myself to a local bookstore where I can purchase audio books. Being able to hear different narration and characters would be a real delight for me because the books recorded for NLS were only read by one person. I guess I've become so used to reading books in Braille for the past 10 years that I haven't taken the initiative to order or purchase audio books. One thing I know I'd love to hear is King narrating one of his books. LOL! You mentioned that the narrator of Harry Potter has a British accent. I'm fascinated by British accents. I'm not sure why. Someone I know in the blind community lives in the UK and has a similar accent. His voice is so relaxing to listen to. It's funny how accents used to be a real problem with hearing aids, but with a CI they are a joy to hear! What you described about a narrator giving each character it's own distinct voice/personality is fascinating and something I *know* I'd enjoy! I think it's time for me to make a trip to the local bookstore so I can start reading Harry Potter and all of the other titles I've missed out on over the years! <smile> Implanted: 12/22/04 Activated: 1/18/05 Deafblind/Postlingual BTE hearing aid user 20 years Severe-profound hearing loss 10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Producing coconut oil by fermentation method does not necessarily need to be heated. Fermentation method has several variations and unique " techniques " of processing, i.e., one method chills the milk then let it ferment. Careful processing does not need the oil to be heated when it separates. The easiest traditional method is heating the milk to extract the oil at extremely low heat like 70-80F but it takes more than 8 hours for the oil to come out. And this was done using just one nut. This method has no moisture at all and the oil does not change and lasts for years. Clear, no smell, no color, possibly no vitamin e, but it is a very very good oil. There is another traditional/fermentation method wherein the milk is fermented and when the oil appears on top it is harvested and bottled. This method sometimes contain moisture. Some would heat their oil at very low temps to remove the moisture before bottling or run it through a centrifuge machine. Heated oil has coconut taste. Color depends on heat setting, higher heat gives yellow color. The key to a successful almost no moisture vco is " technique " and lots of perseverance and patience and it is not easy.
