Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi Marji; Debra has a wonderful support group of friends in her life and our little church. We belong to a ladies group that is small in number but huge in love and spirit. Her meditation is in her prayer and she is indeed a prayer warrior in her own right. I would hate to have her go on Prednisone. She is already on a fairly strong sterroid and she detests it as it makes her hungry and that's half her battle...food. I'm getting her in contact with a good man in our area that does bowel cleansing and we both know that dis-ease comes mostly from the bowels. With her condition both hot and cold affect her. Going from one degree of temperature to another is what seems to set it off. She can't seem to win for losing so it seems. I'm glad you did find a Doctor to help you even though it was a nasty path of relief. You've passed along some wonderful tips and I'll send this on to her as well. Thanks again for helping!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi Dawn; I am a reflexologist and she gets a weekly treatment from my little fingers. :-) She literally lies back and enjoys a relaxing and healing session. Trust me Dawn...when I first started on her feet she was FULL of toxins and it showed. I could hardly put any pressure on her foot and now she is pretty much to normal and only crystals and pain in the areas I know she has problems with. I agree with the massage though but she seems to get her down time with me. I do in home sessions where my clients are most comfortable in their own surroundings so if they do go to sleep I quietly slip out of their home and allow them the healing sleep their body needs. Thanks for responding. Always ~ Kim > > Has your friend ever considered getting a massage? They work wonders for relieving stress and helping with the detox processs. > > Just make sure she drinks plenty of good clean water! > > Dawn E.
