Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Chelation therapy is a course of several treatments of an IV drip with the man made amino acid EDTA (which is used as a preservative in some foods). It was originally used to treat people who had (for example) lead poison from working in certain factories, and it was found to help clear the arteries of heavy metals and also, plaque, hence it is used for opening clogged arteries as an alternative to by-pass surgery in conjunction with minerals/vitamin therapy to replace wht may be depleted. ACAM on the web lists doctors that are trained in this modality in various areas.

I am under the care of a ND (just started) and she took me off of everything (almost) that I was doing and is starting me over. I was taking lots of different herbs and supplements and drinking lots of different teas. Thanks for any info.

That is the way it does to me all the time. I have a bottle that they use to spray decongestant up your nose but I emptied it and washed it out . Then I placed saline water and 8 drops eucalyptus oil and 2 drops lavender oil in it and shock it I spray this up my nose as I sniff and hold the other side shut as often as necessary . 3 sprays to a side. You will have the urge to blow your nose do it . Mine clears up in 4-5 days. My sinuses are running and they are burning like crazy. I am sneezing and am miserable. To top it off I have a lump in my armpit that hurts and is red. HELP! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Mindy Kittay Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Thank you - I will definately try the hot/cold shower. Mindy Kittay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 Dear Beth, I should also have added that the Herbal Snuff would be a good idea!! See files for recipe for this. By hot I mean turn the shower up as hot as you can for as long as you can then to cold as cold as you can for as long as you can. You will involuntarily shiver - that is good. Then back to hot and then back to cold. If you are going to bed - or have af ever - finish off with the hot shower - then wrap up and relax. It is also good - if there is a fever -to have ahot cupof some herbal tea. Ginger is good. The fever is the bodies handling of infection and should be helped. By hot and cold showers youare getting the blood and endrocrine system moving and helping your body heal itself................Love Penny (it is a very old therapy - used by nearly every race in the past by various means. The Indians had their swet lodges and the Swedes would have saunas and then roll nekkid in the snow - in Europe Hydotherapy has long been known as a cure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 I've never been told to do the hot/cold shower, but I've done it instinctively lol I'll use a hot stemy shower to help me sweat it out, then add the cold water to " rinse it off " then go back to the comfortable side of hot to normalize it before gettting out. Go figure xoxoxo Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 With Hep C, tolerance for all environmental factors tends to be less. I have done many environmental assessments on homes in the Colorado mountains, including locations near Aspen, Woodland Park, and Boulder. Even in these places fungus can grow, and be very difficult to detect and clear. One of the things i want to investigate is the relationship between fungus and geobiological energies in homes. We now know that geobiological energies are always more intense in mountain environments. So there are several possibilities in your case.
