, I did find that the post partum bleeding did get worse on days that I

did more. I couldn`t drive then and had to use the bus and our home was a

good way from the bus stop.

Maya is high maintenance and I am really glad she was the 4th child and not

the 1st. It took until she was 2 to sleep in her own bed and she now sleeps

through generally 3 out of 7 nights. I find that she is very agressive

towards her sisters but not other children, she finds it hard to handle when

they get too close. Probably something to do with me keeping her away as

much as possible from other children. I also find that I have to tell her

several times not to do something and her behaviour is no where as good as

my other daughters at that age. To be fair they have been through so much

and I am sure they do tend to take their frustrations out on us. We have

probably also let them get away with things because they have been so ill.

With Dr`s she is very weary of them and when she last had emla cream on she

knew what was coming next and started to cry.

On a funny note. This morning we had baked beans for breakfast. Shortly

afterwards Maya started to sneeze repeatedly and kept saying " beans nose " .

She kept wiping her nose and I figured that she must have a bean up her nose

and her speech went really nasally. After 3 hours trying to decide what to

do I phoned a helpline number and they suggested I take her to the ER

because of her previous medical history. Whilst putting her shoes on she

handed me a very mucousy baked bean. Phew, what a relief!!!! I had already

spent 3 hours there on Thursday after she had an absence seizure.

did this also, but only for the first few times and then she realized

it wasn't going to hurt and she didn't cry with the cream. I had to have some

blood draws around that time and I made a big deal about how it was going to

hurt a little because " I don't get to have EMLA cream " or something like

that. Then I would be sure to point out that I was okay and it only hurt for

a second, but that I wish I got EMLA (saying it like she was really lucky).

Now she's so good at it she doesn't cry even without EMLA, and I give her the

choice before we go. I ask if she'd rather have the cream or feel the stick.

Lately she's been choosing to take the stick without EMLA. My big, brave

girl.

We have found that the more choices we give

concerning his treatment the more in control he

feels. For example Elma cream or not. When scheduling

his every three week IVIG he looks at his calander for

school and we talk about what would be a good day to

miss in that week. Telling the nurses where he feels

the good veins are. Telling them when he is ready to

be poked, he counts to three says a quick prayer then

says now! Within reason we let him be the one in

control........although he knows mom, dad and doc have

the last say.....this has taken alot of the stress out

of treatments.

We have been at this for 5 years..... is now 11

and IVIG is just something he does, no big deal!! The

nurses now let him take the needle out.

Anyways just my .02 cents The more involved they

become the less afraid........

le

11 Selective Antibody Def., IVIG every three

weeks for 5 years now. 6 surgeries in 2 years before

being diagnosed, one more when trialed off IVIG...NONE

while on IVIG also Syringomyelia

Hi Liz,

Thank you once more for your interesting post on cell salts. Re the taking

of Natrum mur, I take 1 teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt (the greyish dampish

coarse version) in one glass of (distilled) water once a day, I guess that

would be very similar to the Natrum Mur.

I'm interested in learing the ratio of magnesium citrate and calcium citrate

that you take.

Thanks

Hanneke-Australia

>>: Re: cell salts

>>This is not cell salts, but,

I began using magnesium citrate and feel much better with my

bowels. I don't know if this is short term or not. Someone

mentioned that they used this and I thought I would try it. I used

other forms of magnesium and I guess they were not digesting or

absorbing. I then bought a bottle of Calcium citrate to go with it

because it is logical that the calcium I was taking was doing no good

either. I took coral calcium and didn't notice any change.

To the person who suggested this, THANK YOU! I have been taking this

every day and it assured me of not slowing down. Even though the

doctor gave me Miralax, I did notice firms stools after passing the

soft pleasant ones.

Hanneke,

Nothing is dead fixed yet. I began taking 100 mg of magnesium citrate

and noticed a bowel change but felt leg crampy with taking only

magnesium. So I went out and bought a bottle of Citracal which has

calcium citrate, 250 mg plus 125 IU of vitamin D. The back of the

bottle says the calcium is 500mg. (sigh!) I guess this means we are

absorbing half.

My doctor once mentioned that we should take our minerals in the

evening before going to bed because that is when the liver uses

them. But I read other stuff so I don't know if it is detrimental or

not. I also read that if you take magnesium and it gives you the

runs it means that you are not absorbing it. So that kind of creeps

me out, I am hoping that I am replacing what I don't have and getting

the fullest benefit from it. I am not getting the runs though, just

soft movements.

I am wondering if our daily diet is in extremely low supply of

magnesium in all forms because I have one son with borderline

constipation, a daughter- in-law and a granddaughter all with this

problem. Mine is the greatest.

I still want to get to the key issue here, that is why I like to

utilize the cell salts too but I can't judge right now. I had this

stinking hemorrhoid removed and I have to stay on this prescription

and can't experiment.

Give it a try to see if it works at all for your body.

Does anyone know how many different kinds of magnesium the body needs

and what their uses are?

About the calcium and me. Any kind of calcium I take results in my

fingernails getting so white that they look like they could glow in

the dark. So I am thinking I might have enough natural calcium

floating around in my system from diet alone. So I opted to use the

Citracal at 250 mg. My GYN suggested some years ago that us females

should have 1,200 mg of calcium a day. Didn't mention what kind to

take and that you need magnesium to utilize it. So I am supplementing

in lower dosage and see if there is any change and if I need to

increase it.

Hi, I am new here. Have started my 7 yr old son (mild asperger's) on the

enzymes and God, is he doing terrific...some adjustment I can tell is taking

place and I am watching that and waiting for things to settle to decide what

is what and what I need to do further...am thinking that there might be a

yeast issue. He has been allergic/intolerant to everything on the planet

which I knew was leaky gut but didn't know that there was all that much we

could do about it until I hit your website and book. He has in the past

responded tremendously to the removal of foods and the addition of

supplements - he is equally responsive now...so for us there is clearly a

gut/brain axis. My husband - who also has some AS traits - also started on

the supplements and he says he feels much better and now also takes them

regularly. After seeing what is was doing for them, I also started taking

them and am noticing that I feel more energized and clearheaded...on the

flip side, I am also noticing over the past couple of days (I have only

started to take them regularly over the past couple of days) a need for more

sleep...I know that I said that I am feeling more energized so the comment

may not make sense...what I mean is when I need to sleep, I need to sleep.

When I am awake, I am awake. Previously I would tend to be a little more

groggy throughout the day. Am wondering about this statement from :

" 2. Detox. The breakdown in food and 'healing' enzymes may be doing

may be cleaning out a lot of gunk. They may be improving pathogen

control as well as improving the body's ability to detox. The night

wakeing is associated with yeast/bacteria die-off, too many phenols,

and metal toxicity = all related to detoxification.

. "

Could detox also present a need for more sleep?

Am slowly making my way thru 's book. We had the problems with

'inconsistency' with my son and I definitely feel that it was the veggie

caps vs gelcaps issue and timing and am waiting for my HFS to get some

gelcaps...

TIA - I am learning so much as I lurk here and am blown away at the

improvements in our son - soooooooooooo grateful...thanks,

Ann

Christa-Could you give the name of your case and how you were able to get

Worker's Compensation in a public school from mold exposure? My Worker's Comp

case was outright denied and my school district terminated me for reporting

the mold. I have had no income for two years and was refused disability.

[Guest guest]

My worker's Comp claim is from the 1st exposure working within a basement at a police dept. I have just triggered my symptoms again at the college I am attending. No, workers comp is only for those who get exposed on the job. If you are a teacher then workers comp should cover you.
