Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 Hi Dawn, since no one has replied to you yet that I have recieved , I thought I would say something. Why not have a look in the files and get some ideas and inspiration? I remember Doc Ian saying he gets everyone, EVERYONE, to do the Total Body Cleanse first and most of their problems disappear, even serious ones. He is not around just now I dont think, but its in the files. There aint going to be some simple herb or one thing which is going to help. Or get those videos people have been talkng about, the Schultze videos. You cant patch it up, you have to start from the bottom and work your way up, be thorough. But you will definitely feel better.So many medications leaves a lot of toxins and interactions. Your case sounds so complex, but really naturopathy, herbalism, natural helaing is very simple. You take the gunk out of your body, dont put any more in, and your body works better! When it goes out of balance, you use herbs/ diet/ other things like hot/cold/ showers to bring it back into balance. But you have to do the work first, and get the gunk out- cleanse.And get your diet clean. just some suggestions to get you going love Peela ===== May the long time sun shine upon you, all love suround you, and the pure light within you guide your way on.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 This appears to be a difficult situation. The answer lies in lots of education. And you will certainly find a lot of ideas and facts on this list! The more you know, the more you can take control over your own health. That makes people feel better right off. The drugs you listed may be causing more harm than good. It's going to take a while to untangle that mess, because none of these should be discontinued suddenly. Effexor is extremely dangerous, and has been implicated in some violent incidents recently. If you're getting off any drug, get unhooked from that one first -- but GRADUALLY! Celebrex is very controversial right now, and it's not certain that it has long-term effectiveness. I don't know anything about Medrol. Tylenol can affect the kidneys. There have been a few instances here and there of people having sudden kidney failure from this. I don't tend to trust Citracal, because the calcium in that formula does not appear to be well balanced with other minerals. (At least its calcium is more easily metabolized than many other prominent brands.) Most of the prominent calcium supplements found in drugstores have serious problems. It is generally better to search, and find calcium that's well balanced with magnesium and other minerals. Actually in my experience each person has to experiment a while to find the ideal calcium supplement. Water intake is a big problem. Many people with chronic rheumatoid arthritis are not drinking enough. You would do well to search your memory for times when there were significant variations in water intake, and see if those times correlate with changes in your condition. Rage, depression, and suicidal feelings are best regarded as spiritual problems. These days, that's not given enough attention. And of course there are a few folks out there who can infiltrate a church and get half the congregation well on the way to a nervous breakdown. It is very important, especially in a situation like this, to carefully consider any spiritual data you're given, see if it squares with what you know to be totally right, and refuse to rely on interpretations from anyone else.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 Calcium hydroxyapatite is the calcium that i was trying to think of (many posts ago) when the subject was about " the only calcium supplement that not only has been shown to stop osteoporosis, but reverse it " as it matches the bone matrix form of calcium; though I'm sure it's expensive compared to most of what's out there! \ \In Health, Steve ----------------------------- This appears to be a difficult situation.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 Dawn, Do you meditate..... I mean do you find that quiet place within yourself to talk with God. He can help you if you reach out to him and give him your problems. You don't need to carry these problems by yourself. I agree with Michael about getting off the drugs gradually and one at at time.. I would suggest calling Doc and having a chat with him. Suzi Get email alerts NEW webcam video instant messaging with Messenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
