Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 I have early signs of developing prostate problems. Their is a product called Beta Sitosterol that is supposed to be 300 times more potent than saw palmetto. Has anyone tried it? I have ordered some from a new coop and there is a very good report on it there. It is located at http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=14352 They only have 4 products right now but will be adding more. If enough of us request it, maybe they will do some special supplements for children with G-tubes? Also, if you order anything Miracle Mountain will get a small commission which is only 1/2 percent but it will help our kids. Their prices are really cheap. 90-500mg Omega-3 salmon gel-caps for $1.98 and a Multi vitamin with ginseng for $1.98. I have been taking saw palmetto and have not seen any difference in the swelling which is my only problem right now but I would like to do preventive maintenance. Any other suggestions? thanks Hartsoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says for best results, drink " 1 heaped teaspoon 1/2 litre of boiling water, infused for a short time (like regular tea). Only 2 cups a day are taken, 1 cup in the morning on an empty stomach, 1 cup in the evening, half an hour before a meal. " Go to Google and type in 'Small Flowering Willow Herb prostate' .

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Rick, You need to look into a PASS plan for Jan. I don't know how it all works, but it allows people to work well above the SSI/SSDI limit and still retain their medicaid coverage ( a huge concern) My bosses son who is 33, has worked at Microsoft in the mailroom for 10 years, he makes well above minimum wage, but still retains his medicaid eligibility. There are some things out there to make that happen :-) M.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 ... I think you misread the previous post. na stated that HSS is the #2 hospital in the country. I suspect that she's quoting from this: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/health/hosptl/rankings/specihqorth.htm While we're on the subject, one of the most interesting values on the chart is Nurse to Patient ratio. For spine surgeries, the higher values would definitely be more desirable. As far as I know, there's no ranking of physicians. There is " America's Top Doctors " (a book and website). I was at a physician's house this weekend, and noticed that he had a plaque from ATP. I asked about it and he said that he got it because he donated a lot of money. I honestly don't know whether he was yanking my chain or not, but I would take any ranking of physicians with a grain of salt. For every doctor, no matter how great, you're bound to find a few patients who had horrible outcomes. And, for every hack, I'm sure you'll find patients who think that they're gods.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 My knee cap was out of place becasue of the lateral muscle...which is why they cut it...and that being out of place is what rubbed the cartliage which caused all the probelms for the CP...but no the x-rays never showed anything...even the bone since it was under the knee cap...But they seem to think that the bone being damaged had to be due to a fall directly on that knee, where all of my weight was focused...but i don't remember a time that i fell on my knee...basically the only pain I have now is from where he drilled out the bone. If it does not repair itself by summertime he is going to go back in and drill out more bone and try to fix it that way. But I really trust my doctor and i think that is what really matter's. He is the team doctor as well for the Tennessee Titans (NFL Football team) and has done wonders for some of the players so i beleive he will have me back running around in no time...and i hope so becuase i am only 24. But i really don;t think that i have a lot of the CP symptoms anymore which is a blessing becuase it was aggraving, now i just have other probelms i need to fix... > > From: chondromalacia treatment > Date: 2006/01/31 Tue PM 04:20:08 EST > chondromalacia treatment > Subject: Digest Number 1176 > > There are 2 messages in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1.

I'm sory to hear that. When you say that your knee cap was out of place, couldn't they have known this from just feeling around; or even just looking at your knee before surgery? Did they tell you how and why the bone was missing? and was this the main contributing factor ofor your CP? > > Good luck with the rest of your recovery > > james > > smitha5@... wrote: > I recently had arthoscpic surgery more for an exploratory surgery. My x-rays showed that everything looked fine. My MRI showed that some of the cartlidge was damaged. Once in my knee there was much more damage than anticipated. So i reccommend surgery if there is any doubt. I ended up having a lateral release because my knee cap was majorly out of place. Had lots of catlage removed and ended up having a large piece of bone missing under neath my knee cap. I may have to have a second sugery to replace that. But i was told that I was lucky to still be as active as i was before surgery becasue it was so bad...However, we would have never known if i would not have had surgery since the MRI or X-Ray didn't show anything. I am not 5 months post op and have began working out again...I still can not run or jump but I am able to be active and a majority of the pain is gone and the only pain i have left is from my bone...GOOD LUCK > > > > From: chondromalacia treatment > > Date: 2006/01/29 Sun PM 02:57:21 EST > > chondromalacia treatment > > Subject: Digest Number 1174 > > > > There are 3 messages in this issue. > > > > Topics in this digest: > > > > 1.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012  , thanks for that! When you say organic puffed rice, do you mean the kind you buy in the grocery store? I always like that. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 You are welcome, GL. Yes, I mean the kind you can get in a store, but rather than opting for something like " Rice Crispies " , look for an organic puffed rice. The ONLY ingredients should be " organic puffed rice " . Most rice is " enriched " which means sprayed with all sorts of " vitamins " of questionable origin, so opting for an organic brand will avoid such things. You can also find organic puffed millet, puffed quinoa, etc. I find them at Earth Fare and Greenlife and Whole Foods-they are usually in a bag, rather than a box, and are usually found on the lower shelves where the regular cereals are. Having a plain " base " such as puffed rice, allows YOU to choose what goodies-berries, dates, nuts, seeds, etc. go in to it! > > Vitamix Enthusiasts, thanks for that! > When you say organic puffed rice, do you mean the kind you buy in the grocery store?
