Guest guest Report post Posted August 21, 2001 A diagnosis of Lupus just doesn't come out of the blue. It's not like smallpox or polio, where you have a definite cause involved. Lupus should only be diagnosed after a number of symptoms have been spotted over a period of time (usually 6 months) AND everything else has been eliminated. So it seems like a good idea to question whether or not this diagnosis is legitimate, since you say that you don't have any health problems. The main recommended pregnancy herb is a weak raspberry leaf tea. My wife used that intermittently, as a replacement for her normal favorite iced tea. She had few problems, and we managed to have an unassisted home birth last year.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 19, 2001 Merry Meet Cheryl, Glad to have you aboard, Also glad your interested in Reiki, I'm am going for my 3rd degree in reiki aat which time I will be a reiki master and teacher. I also have done some reading and studying upon wiccan.I was told not long ago by my friend and mentor Dr. Steven Hairfield that i was leaning toward wiccan . He says I was one in a past life.I am not sure as I have not felt or sensed this . I do know i was very psychic and that it is getting stronger in this life.I hope we can talk more. Merry Part, Love and Light, Vivian ----- Original Message -- --- Cheryl Reed Wednesday, December 19, 2001 9:40 AM Introduction Merry Meet everyone! My name is Cheryl Reed; my craft name is Ciera. I am a 46 year old, female Wiccan from Michigan. I was very excited to find this list and I actually found it because listed it as an editors pick. I have gone through a few of the recent messages in the archives and know that I am going to enjoy being a list member. (and yes, there are wierd people of all religions, but I assure you that I am quite normal!) I work in a photography studio as my "pay the bills job" and I run a non-profit dog rescue which specializes in puppymill dogs as my "run up the bills job". I, myself specialize in Chinese Cresteds. I have always felt that I have been "different". When I found my path religiously and started delving into all the other occult areas I started to understand why. I have been given some very wonderful gifts which I am starting to develop. I am very psychic and I have always been able to heal my own body at a remarkable rate. I used to have dreams of laying my hands on people and healing them when I was young and in fact if someone was ill or hurt I would actually lay my hands on them to help. My family called it my "Jesus Complex". I was very excited to learn about Reiki as I feel that it might be my calling and hope to start Reiki classes in the future. I believe that I have been a witch in all my previous lives, because as I learn more about the occult, it feels that I have always known it on some level. I really look forward to being on this list. I think it will help my growth tremendously. Thank you all for being here! Bright Blessings!

Guest guest Report post Posted March 31, 2002 > I'd like to hear of others who are in the same situation and what successes > they've had. I guess I'm looking for support and ideas. Many fibromyalgics turn out to have a mercury problem. Huggins reports this in " Uninformed consent. " I discuss it (and what to do) in " Amalgam Illness. " It was also the subject of a clinical trial reported on the web and done in Scandinavia where 90% of fibromyalgics who had their fillings replaced got better. Often the fibromyalgia symptom is controllable by other means. E. g. exclusion of allergens - but then what is it that made you sensitise to everything? Mercury, which is what is used to get allergic animals in lab experiments? Also hydrogenated fat exclusion works wonders for some. Hormone problems can be at the root of it too - in men it is a cardinal sign of low testosterone. Low cortisol will also do it, though lots of other stuff happens with that. > > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 1, 2002 Dear Allen, Truehope is the best news anyone with bipolar disorder could ever have. Wish more people knew about it. Take care. Anna Allen Darman [sMTP:allen_dar] Tuesday, March 26, 2002 12:31 AM Gettingwell Introduction Dear group: I would like to introduce myself to this group. My name is Allen Darman. I have undergone a profound natural recovery from over 30 years of being ill from bipolar disorder. This recovery began in mid 1997, and I am completely well today. From time to time I will share what I know about getting well from bipolar disorder via natural means with this group. The gist of my understanding of the most common underlying biochemical dynamics of bipolar disorder can be found on the home page of www.alternativementalhealth.com under " Natural Treatment of Manic Depression Explained " by Allen Darman. Also perhaps worthy of mention here is that the site www.truehope.com is worth a solid review for anyone that is bipolar. This supplement has often helped with manic depression as well as a number of other CNS and/or " psychiatric " conditions. Lastly, Dr. Sherry Rogers books contain a great deal of insight in regard to depression, manic depression, environmental illness, and a host of other health conditions. These books can be found at www.prestigepublishing.com. " Depression - Cured at Last " was enormously helpful to me in my recovery from manic depression. All the very best, Allen Movies - coverage of the 74th Academy Awards® http://movies./ Getting well is done one step at a time, day by day, building health and well being.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 7, 2002 Hi Kelley, Welcome, I'm Kim and I host an aromatherapy chat on AOL as a volunteer. I've wanted to get into doing an online e-shop myself, but don't have the funds to stock essential oils here at home. I'm in Wisconsin also, I'm in Marinette close to Menominee, MI the UP. It would be cool to own an aromatherapy shop and it's been a dream of mine. I wonder how does a person get the funds to get a business going like that. My credit sucks because I have debts I haven't been able to pay so I can't foresee myself getting a loan. I do have credit with one mail order wholesaler though. If you like Kelley feel free to email me privately. Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted March 8, 2003 Sorry, I lost my motherboard and am still without a computer. Borrowing a friends. But basically this drink comes from the Amazon and is made of two plants. Its probably the purest drug there is, possibly similar to organic mescline...it purifies the body, has a healing effect, and knocks ones mind away leaving one with a powerful sense of ones being....how you come to this drink and what you are ready for determines a lot of the experience.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 2, 2003 Dear Stephanie, a warm welcome to you! Crystals work very well with Reiki and other energy-systems. It also happened that the longer I worked with crystals the more I remembered how I used to work with them in many lifetimes before. Working with crystals has been part of this life now since over twenty years and my love is still growing. I feel blessed being able to learn from them. Bright Blessings, Argante sunserenity wrote: Hello All, My name is Stephanie, I am a Reiki and IET practitioner. I have been brought full circle over the last year on my healing journeys. In high school, beaded stone bracelets were all the rage, and instead of buying all ones I wanted (believe me I wanted all of them) I started to make and sell them. As the fad ended, I stopped making them. I wore mine until one by one they were discarded. During this time I also collected small semi precious stones that I carried around with me because they made me feel good. Five years ago an Asian friend took me to a Feng Shui jewelry store which was selling stone bracelets that enhanced the intention and healing within the wearer. I bought three and have been wearing them for five years. A year ago, I was introduced to Reiki. Well, I cannot begin to say how that has changed me. I feel reborn, set on the road that I was meant to follow. Since then, I have been taking many different healing classes. After a particular attunement, I could no longer wear my bracelets. Then the light went off, I could not wear them due to the intention or energy pattern I had programmed them with was of my " old " self. Not at all what my higher self knew I needed to do. So on a whim, I went to a bead show and during that show I realized I have been lead to this road before many times, I was just not aware/open to the message that was being given as I am now. So, I have started my own business making healing/intention bracelets and jewelry and I have begun to study crystal healing. After reading a few of the articles, I went to my silk pouch I carry and realized, I already have my beginners collection, they have been with me for years. So, that is my spiritual story. Aside from that, I live in New Jersey I am a single Mom. And I look forward to getting to know all of you! Stephanie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 2, 2003 Stephanie, Welcome home, smiles..... Somehow I feel that I know you sister. We are on the same path I am also a completley changed person since allowing myself to find my way home to Reiki, what a blessing!! The crystals and the information I get from them for peronal use and healing use for others sureley seems like it has been with me for many past/future lifetimes and is not something I seem to be able to put aside as it grows more with each passing day. I thank you for sharing your story with us all. It has me smileing here. Namaste' Tanya , sunserenity@a... wrote: > Hello All, > > My name is Stephanie, I am a Reiki and IET practitioner.

I was opened up to the energy of crystals while I lived in Queensland, Australia, and thought perhaps I was moving away from them when I returned to the UK. But they are turning up in droves so I am forced (ha-ha, twist my arm!) to keep working with these lovely spirit beings. Have also visited the Netherlands but many, many years ago.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 28, 2004 Hello Vicky, Wow, that's great that your friend came here, I think Montreal is opening up alot, and Ayurveda will start thriving here soon (we seem to be a little backwards with certain things, it's slow, but eventually it get's here!) Is your friend an Ayurvedic practitioner? I am not currently practicing. Right now I'm a single mom, and have my little guy 24/7, so it has left me with little time (or energy!) to start my practice. My main interest are in general Ayurved and woman's care, but Ayurdoulas are so needed too. So, we'll see where my practice leads(needs) me. Take care!
