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.

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

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!

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.

Dear Allen,

Truehope is the best news anyone with bipolar disorder could ever have. Wish

more people knew about it. Take care.

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

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.

hi chloe!

it wil be interesting to hear what others have to say, but i was a complete

newie,maybe a year ago.

you will learn at the right speed for you,dont worry-everything you need will

come at the right time....

as for stones coming to you,i would say that if you are attracted to,or " hit

it off " with a stone,it is right for you. do what feels right for you.

[Guest guest]

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.

Dear Hawk/Ron

just to say hello and welcome...

Hope you get as much out of this, as we all do - and yes, there is much you can

learn and share here.

This is my most favourite group, really caring, friendly and supportive, with

lots of info to share about healing and crystals.

Keep an eye out for Rosequartz's attunements and new crystal snippets, they are

very informative and really useful...

Ps. We all have our bad spelling days! lol

Love, light and blessings

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

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!

[Guest guest]

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'

Hi, Edda - Just to say hello and welcome to a lovely site - I am a Reiki Master

and live in the north of England. 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.

Welcome Radhika: One of my best friends just moved away from Oregon to

Montreal. Are you a practicing postpartum doula now? Vicky York

[Guest guest]

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! RadhikaVicky York <vmyork wrote:
