Guest guest Report post Posted July 3, 2008 You're so welcome, Carrie. I wish you well in your journey and congratulate you on even being willing to see this different. A lot of people don't do that. They react and stay stuck in disease mode instead of getting up and figuring out what might help. You're teacher is right - yoga can be an exercise or it can be a great body *and* mind work out! Applying yoga principles to living seems to me to be only a good thing. Take care, Cindy Cindy Kirchhoff http://LivinginRhyme.com Reclaim your power and your passion for life; reclaim your health , charles.wesley wrote: > > Cindy > Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. You are right, Yoga is great exercise, but ive been learing from my teacher how you can take the yoga philsophy and principles and use them in your everday life. SO that should help on my journey as well. Anyway, hope you have a good evening. > Carrie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted June 27, 2009 This is usually caused by a clogged liver. I would suggest doing complete body cleanses including liver and blood detoxes. You may have to do several over a period of time. Irene On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 3:23 PM, sherbet93 <sherbet93 wrote: > Hello all: > I am not really all that new, as I joined the group in 2007...

Guest guest Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Hello Kim, Have you ever practiced any kind of body cleansing? I suggest that you discuss with your naturopath the best way for you to fast as well as the best way for you to take some herbal formulas to clean liver, kidneys, bowels, arteries, etc. Is this doctor paying attention to your nutrition? My best to you, Rena - sherbet93 Friday, June 26, 2009 3:23 PM " New " member Hello all: I am not really all that new, as I joined the group in 2007... I just never had the energy to write! A bit of my history: I have always been rather sensitive to medications and other substances such as caffeine. I was abused as a child and starved, and it probably led to adrenal issues and other nutritional problems. When I got older I married into an abusive relationship and ended up trying a lot of antidepressants before I landed on Nortriptyline and Klonopin for a lot of years. I got divorced ten years ago and during the process I was in a relationship and got pregnant, at which time I had to withdraw from the psych meds cold turkey. I had been on 75mg Nortriptyline and 6mg of Klonopin, which was an enormous dose, especially since I am a small person. Anyway, going through the drug withdrawal was absolute hell for several years. While in the midst of that, doctors diagnosed me as hyperthyroid and removed most of the gland. After that they gave me no medication for replacement for six years. I became more and more ill over the years but I didn't have health insurance for a long time and when I did manage to see a doctor they told me my thyroid test results were fine. I finally pushed a doctor into giving me thyroid medicine a couple of years ago. Since then my symptoms have improved but not enough. I still suffer from fatigue, hair loss and a lot of sleeping difficulties, among other things. Finally a couple of months ago I gave up on endocrinologists and began seeing a naturopathic doctor. She is testing all the things I've wanted to have checked for so many years- adrenals, vitamins, neurotransmitters etc. I am low in iron (ferritin) and Vitamin D, and many of my neurotransmitters are out of balance, as well as my adrenals. My biggest difficulty is that my sensitivities are so much worse than they were before I had to deal with the psych meds and withdrawal. Everything my doctor tells me to try that is supposed to help I am sensitive to and have reactions so I can't take it! Well, I am taking 50mg iron daily and 1000 IU Vitamin D as well as getting out in the sun for more D. I was already taking 100-300 mg 5HTP to help me sleep at night, as well as a multivitamin/mineral supplement in the morning. I also take a calcium/magnesium/zinc supplement at night to help with sleep... But my doctor has suggested rhodiola, dhea, ashwagandha and l-theanine, all of which I react negatively to. This is so frustrating! How can I heal if I can't take any of the substances that are supposed to help me heal? Anyway, sorry such a long message but wanted to introduce myself.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 30, 2009 Kim, Have you tried EFT? It can help with almost anything and may get you rebalanced. Another possibility would be NAET but shop around for a practitioner. Not all get good results. I hope you're eating organic food only and avoiding chemicals. You didn't mention iodine. Are you using any? What about essential fatty acids? Fish oil, hemp, borage, etc? Are you low on iron or why are you taking so much?

You're calling these headaches " migraines " but what you're describing is a " frontal headache " . Frontal headaches are often a sinus problem, but your doctor says that you don't have sinusitis, but you take an anti-allergy medicine that " helps " . Acupuncture treatments are cumulative too. Sometimes, the effect takes a fw more treatments, especially if the headaches are in fact due to sinus problems which is going to look like " phlegm damp " in Chinese medicine. But I don't know if your acupuncturist is treating that or not. The best way to figure out how long it will take to help you is by taking note of your responses to the treatments. I have not felt better in regards to my headache, but yesterday and today > my body has felt very relaxed and I can feel the qi energy flowing thro > ughout my body, which from what i Have researached, is a good thing. > That's a nice effect, isn't it? When the qi is better flowing, the dampness will be less likely to congeal in your nose/sinuses. That can help the headache, but dampness is usually a more slow problem to resolve, not a 24 hour thing. > Also, I have a new sulfite allergy, so I told them about that too and > treated that as well, but I dont know how the acupuncture is suposed to help > with that, like is it preventative or helps with allergy reactions ? > Yeah, it isn't specific to sulfites, but any allergies. What it is doing and its mechanisms, I honestly don't know. Even more important than " allergies " is the pattern of the symptoms, that's what Chinese medicine seeks to fix. > If anyone can help fill me in on some info that would be great. I plan on > going weekly or every two weeks for treatment. > I hope that's enough frequency. Seems a little sparse to me, but the best thing you can do is monitor your own situation and that will tell you how things are going after a month or so. -- , DAOM Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. http://twitter.com/algancao Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted November 22, 2009 I am a new member, I do holistic medicine with my family, and I also do Reiki and use crystals, I would like to learn more from this group. I have a couple of questions, 1 what is a good crystal for lack of focus in school work? also what are your thoughts on Moldavite? Thanks!

Guest guest Report post Posted November 22, 2009 Hi Kelli, Welcome to the group! I think that Lepidolite is a very good crystal for students, because it encourages calmness and relaxation. I pasted some info about it underneath. About Moldavite, I don't actually own one yet, but I am also interested in it and would like to know more about it. From what I read, it seems that it's the stone for instant transformation, but I was warned that I must be grounded before attempting to use it because it's a very powerful stone. Lepidolite:Properties: This is the stone of rebirth. Useful for transitions in life. Helpful in times of stress and coping with stress therefore, creating calm and relaxation. Lepidolite is used to help ease the transition fromaddiction. Gently eases intensity of our emotional feelings, mood swings, depression, manic-depression, worry, and anxiety. Brings hope, relief, gentleness, self-love, patience, self-forgiveness, unworried sleep, mental/emotional balance, and well-being. This stone is particularly good for students as it is helpful for studying, learning, manifesting, change and awareness. This stone is used for self-criticism, when we become down on ourselves, lepidolite allows us to see for ourselves who we really are and the potential that lies within us. To enjoy the benefits from this stone, meditate with it in your hands on a daily basis. Lepidolite balances Brow Chakra with new spiritual love. It speeds up decision making, stimulating the intellect and encouraging independence and free and clear thinking. Scanning this stone around the Aura will allow you to locate discomfort and dis-ease anywhere in the energy field.
