Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Hi Frank, So far, this is proving to be a very helpful group for me. I am really interested in the kombucha tea and kefir sites that posted. I have been reading there and want to try the tea. I have rheumatoid arthritis and I am using the antibiotic protocol and some herbal supplements as well. I would love to hear others successful treatments of RA.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Dear Esther, I hope you enjoy making kombucha. The second website on kombucha given in my previous message is one of our member's here. http://www.kombu.de/english.htm His name is Gunther W. Frank and he is the author of a very good book on the subject.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Dear Lisa, Wow you have quite a list also. I hope you can find some help here. As I said before, I will try and help, but the majority of help will probably come from the many knowledgeable members here. I don't have all of the answers nor do i claim to. I have read though that just about all of these symptoms could have one major root cause and be inter-related. Also, myself and others here will try and find some information for you to examine about some nutritional or herbal things that you might want to consider. I had many of the same things also. As time goes on maybe we can see how much of the diseases we have are inter- related as well and a lot of the remedies are goingto be similiar nutritionally.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Yes - my friend has high cholesterol and that is not an area that I've done any research in.... I've cleared the most severe PMS through Candida clearing and would be happy to talk to anyone about this.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Dear Group, This may seem minor to some, but it's not to my daughter. My daughter has a RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury) that is extremely severe. In her case it is severe Tendonitis from her hands to above her elbows. It has been almost a year and a half, now, and she still can't function very well in a lot of ways. She is in almost constant pain, she can't carry or lift things, she can't cut with a knife for food preparation. When she tries to any of these things she re-injures herself and has more pain. She has had three doctors tell her she's never going to recover from it. She is currently going to a specialized chiropractor who also uses some oriental disciplines, he has helped her more than any one, but she still has a long way to go. She is on disability - which is going to run out pretty soon - and she is desperate. She is afraid she will never be able to work and support herself. She is fairly young - 31 - and she feels like her life is over. We are open to all suggestions. Has anybody had similar problems and dealt with them? Thank you, in advance, for your responses.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2001 Report Share Posted October 26, 2001 Dear Jan, I would recommend that you explore a good nutritional supplement program. I will try and find you a web site that could explain without the commercial claim or exagerations. Also I suggest you go back to yestedays posts and read the ones on arthritus. Joint injury, inflamation, and repair are what we are talking about . Frank Gettingwell, Jan Bolen <jurimed> wrote: > Dear Group, > > This may seem minor to some, but it's not to my > daughter.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2001 Report Share Posted October 27, 2001 Dear Lisa, Yes, If the group will help, we will try and find some answers in these areas. I used to see these as all seperate diseases and causes. Now I see them as possibly inter related and could be caused by one problem. We have to try and help each other with research and trading information. Then it is up to each of ourselves personally to find and try the things that will make us well. Thanks for being part of our group. good luck, Frank --- viscusi1family wrote: > dear frank. > it would be great if you could cover some of these > areas too. > > crohns disease > osteoarthritis > rhumatoid arthritis > gerd (gastrointestinal esphogus reflux disease) > migraines > anxiety > depression > joint aches and pains > lactose intolerance > asthma > excema > > thank you very much ....lisa > > Make a great connection at Personals. http://personals.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 When in doubt take some of the pulp and eat it. Mixed with a little juice. I learned the nutrients are more accessible by juicing but the fiber til has many benefits Good health to you, Virgie322001 Be kind to animals, hug your pet every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 Shell, You are getting all the good stuff with the juice, you just took out the fiber. Carrots contain beta carotene and 8 other carotenes, this is why I think its so much better to take whole foods that an isolated component. Tom andy.mich [andy.mich] Sunday, October 28, 2001 9:43 AM Gettingwell Re: your suggestions for areas of discussion? Hi, I'm new to the group and although I'm not suffering from any disorder, I want to be healthy and eat good stuff. On Friday I happened to be in a shop when an ex-demonstration juicer was on sale, so I bought it. I wondered if anyone can help me to know if I get as much of the beta carrotine out of the carrot once it's juiced as I do eating a raw one? Sorry I'm quite new to the health foods. Love Shell.

Anyhow to my list:MSM,Artichoke,Dandelion Rt,Garlic, Kelp,zinc,bee pollen,kava kava,feverfew,cayenne,vit c,echinacea,cat's claw,Blue Green Algea,boswellia,glucosamine/chondroitin,chelated potassium,hawthorne berry,pycnogenol,flaxseed oil,selenium,b-50,cranberry,DHEA,co q 10,milk thistle, butcher's broom,green tea,black cohosh,bilberry,spirulina,chromium picolinate,a women's multi and a menopause supplement. Now my question is should I quit taking any of these or add anything different(I am checking into Kombucha). Also,I could not find the Willard Water in the Swanson catalog that I have,is it only on the web site? I am also taking these rx meds...prilosec,baclofen,neurontin,vioxx,remeron,zyrtec and guaifenesin.I know I'm probably overdoing it in some areas so any suggestions are welcome.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Wow. That's a lot of supplements and rx's. I make and drink Kombucha every day. It is a great detoxifier.
