Wow I just joined and I got lots of messages to read. anyway I have a few questions but first a little about me. I'm 37 an about a year ago I ate anything I wanted and took anything the doctors gave me. I have two illnesses, One of which I don't even know if I can bring up I may have misunderstood the message. The other is IGA Neph. anyway I was on about 12 different meds about a year ago and my wife got pink eye and we took her to the doctor. and it cost us over $300 to not get the right help. I did some research and we tried eyebright, and silver and 10 days later she was well. So i was convinced,. So I started changing my diet, came off sugar for the most part and stopped all white and refined foods and started to take herbs and vit. I did my research. I was soon down to 3 meds. these 3 I don't ever think I can come off of. they are lamictal, risperdal, and altace. anyway I lost 63lbs and I feel much better. now my problem. about 5 months ago I ripped my shoulder muscle and had to go to hospital and was told it would heal in about 3 months. They gave me drugs but I did not take them. and I still have not healed. I know protein will heal it faster but I can't have over 30gs of it a day due to my IGA Neph. so is there any herbs that I can i take to help heal my muscle and rebuild my muscle and heal it faster? That is my question. now on to my wife's question. she had a hestorectortmectory about 10 years ago and was on HRT up until about 3 years ago. she has tried some herbs to help but the ones she has tried cause her hot flashes to get worse. any suggestions as to what can help her with the hotflashes and moods she takes ST. johns wort when she can remember, and I try to get her to take omega 3 fish oil but she thinks it causes her face to break out so she won't take it, so I need some suggestions here also. sorry I went on so long.

Well I don't eat any white flour of any kind, only whole wheat and

very little pop, about 1 a week except for this last week, but it is

usually one a week or less. no ice cream. other than the one a week

pop no sugar. no street drugs of any kind. about one beer every

other month. I also have bipolar I that's the illness I did not know

if I could bring up. I take lamictal and risperdal for it. I take

altace for my IGA Neph a kidney illness. I eat as much organic food

as possible. we try to buy organic milk when we can if I don't have

it on hand I drink soy milk, organic soy milk. no red meat at all.

some fish, no pork, some chicken, lots of vegies fresh and steamed,

lots of fruit. I tried to juice but our juicer is a bad one we are

going to buy a good one soon and pick it back up. as far as

prepackaged foods. I cook nearly ever meal we eat and every thing I

cook is from scratch not from a box. non smoker can't stand to be

around the stuff. so not use cologne I hate it. I do eat lots of

cheese and butter, not margine. no coffee if I do it will be decaff.

as well as the pop I drink decaff. also the tea, and herb teas I

drink are decaff. I eat fried chicken maybe once a month and I fry

it in conola. other than that I never eat fried I don't even eat

fries. I sleep about 6-7 hours a night, I can't sleep any longer my

body does not want to I just can't make myself sleep any longer. No

cakes or pastries of any kind. no candy. no junk food to speak of. I

eat a trail mix that I get from the herb store. the only juice I

drink is orange juice. never done a cleanse. probably need to though.

Now for my wife she has a better diet then me, the same stuff that

is on my list above but less bread. she takes no meds has depression

and thats why she takes st. johns wort and i want her to take fish

oil. I hear vit e and flax seed oil is also good for her but I just

heard it from a friend, not read anything on it. the only thing she

has had done is her historec. other that then no surgerys. she has a

lot of muscle pain and achs. and her back hurts a lot. Oh we also

eat no salt in our diet. she could defently use a clense but we

really don't know how to go about it. her bowles move about once a

week and then she needs help with it. I go on a daily basis, but she

is doing good to go once a week. so any tips in that area would be

good also. we both have improved our diets in the last year

imenstly. and came a long way. I hope all this helps.
