Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I treat them as a vegetables, not as a fruit, but would you really want to eat a tomato with a mango?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 I am an A, so veggie or fruit, I treat it as an avoid. If you go back to the archives you will see lots of new members who know very little about nutrition. In many cases food combining paid a big part in their recovery. BTW, I started eating " healthy " when I was 18 years old. I am now 40. Never been to a doctor. I happen to know my own body better than others know theirs. Sorry.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Dear txbluebelle, Please do not regard this advice as official or definitive in any way! I would have to read your entire certificate of coverage and any other relevant documents, but I think your interpretation is correct. The arthritis is excluded, the over-the-counter meds do not count . . . and the MRI per se would not seem to constitute " treatment, " given its diagnostic nature. What concerns me is that a doctor must have ordered the MRI for a particular reason, right? And did that doctor then record a diagnostic code and prescribe anything in connection with the diagnosis? If not, you should (theoretically) be o.k., but I suspect that if you have a potential trouble-spot, it lies in the " context " of your undergoing an MRI, and especially in the content of any medical records relating to that MRI. I will try to check into this a little more. If I'm not mistaken, Texas has some protections for " insureds " that other states do not. Please feel free to write to me privately, if you want, and share some particulars such as the name of the carrier and whether this is group insurance or an individual policy and so forth. I hope you are getting some real, substantive coverage that will help you to get what you need! This certainly sounds promising. > > , > > It looks like I MIGHT be getting medical insurance soon.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Kathy: Between the ages of 6 and 7, my son had 7 positive strep tests. What we came to find out is that his tonsils were so pitted that the normal antibiotics (zithromax - he's allergic to penicillin types) were only killing the surface bacteria and that would reduce symptoms for a while, only to have the bacteria in the pits regenerate and start a full blown infection again. Our pediatrician ended up treating him with a 10 day course of Clyndimiacin (VERY strong antibiotic) which finally seemed to kill the strep. We then had his tonsils and adenoids removed, as the ENT said this would be 98% effective in preventing new infection. BTW, the ped said his tonsils looked normal to her but referred to an ENT anyway, and it took the ENT approximately 3 seconds to tell me his tonsils were severely pitted and enlarged! We were very hopeful that once this treatment had been completed, the OCD and tics would be gone. In fact, he did dramatically improve around this time, but we will never know for certain wether it was the strep treatment, the amazing ERP therapist we found or the medication or a combination of the 3. Six months after the tonsillectomy he was doing so well that we had ended therapy and took him off medication. We were sure he was " cured " ! Well, then reality set in. Without the meds he was back to OCD, rages, meltdowns etc. Back on medication, which he has been on ever since. (first Celexa, now Prozac)There are a few theories about this. #1 - that the ongoing strep infection and resulting inflammation of the basil ganglia went on so long that it basically wore pathways in his brain function that became somewhat permanent even when the infection and inflammation were gone. #2 - That the strep infection only exacerbated the symptoms of a disorder that was already present. His original diagnosis was GAD before any of the strep was found. Retrospectively he showed symptoms as early as 18 months! #3 That he really had an undiagnosed strep infection at age 3 that went untreated, so the inflammation course really had lasted 4+ years (see theory #1). At any rate, he's 91/2 now and living with OCD and tics, but functioning fairly well. We've all come to accept that this is part of him that he'll be living with probably the rest of his life. We've grieved, he's grieved, and we continue to muddle our way through (see my post about the medication question?). BTW, he's never had another strep infection since his tonsillectomy and even at his worst now, it's no where NEAR what he went through that period of time he was so sick. As I posted earlier, we have him on a medication named DVAP for the nighttime accidents, and it's been very effective - helped his esteem a lot! Hope this is helpful. in MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 , It is amazing to me the similarities in your son and my daughter's story. My daughter had positive strep continuously from July 2003 until Dec. 2003 with not one negative strep test. She was between 5 and 6 at the time. The antibiotics simply would not get rid of it. They finally took her tonsils out with strep. Afterwards she had another round of antibiotics and as far as we know has not had strep since. When she was 3 and a half she had a respiratory infection and sudden onset of tics. She literally woke up one day with tics. Pretty quickly after that she stared to show sensitivity to clothing and other compulsive behaviors. I truly believe that she had untreated strep at the time and like your " theory 1 " - she has some permanent effects from the long term infection and inflammation. Thank you for sharing you story. I'm glad your days are better than they used to be and I hope they continue to improve. Don't we all! Kathy in GA Mom to > Kathy: > > Between the ages of 6 and 7, my son had 7 positive strep tests.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 RTD = ready-to-drink, like the Myoplex ready-to-drink shakes in the little cardboard juice box containers. MRP = meal replacement, either bars or shakes I can't remember if there were any other common ones referring to supplements.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Well, I wouldn't exactly say no other choice because it makes the bars and shakes sound so sinister. MRPs and RTDs are very helpful for us busy souls who despise cooking yet need to keep the protein flowing. I wouldn't be able to get enough food or protein a day without them. I try to balance it out with 3 whole food meals and 3 MRP/bar/RTD meals a day. Protein totals equal about 150 grams per day(I weigh 120 but prefer to err on the high side instead of low). So by all means use them. The thermic effect of whole food is good but it doesn't burn enough calories to get excited about. Stasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hello Shivani, I mean the following: When somebody is exposed to elektrosmog, the body *inhales* this elektrosmog. It does not matter whether it is electrical AC or DC, magnetic AC or DC or electromagnetic waves. Those fields go into the body. Some people may react instantly; others after half an hour, and still others after 8 hours or 24 hours afterwards. So, it is quite possible, that people with sleeping disorders in a radiationfree surrounding (shielded, etc.) may experience that, because of the exposures over daytime. There is some sort of jet-lag. Once the body is in disorder, it may take a while, before everything is settled back to normal. That is also different for every person. For some, it may be quick, for others it may take one or two days, for others, they need a week to come bye. Only the person self may determine whether the symptoms of exposure are diminished or not. I am looking at certain neurofeedback machines which may measure that phenomenon.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Thank you! Yes, I've been following BFL since I finished the challenge. I was happy with the end results, so I've been experimenting with maintenance - eating more food, playing with different recipes, less tracking of measurements (both food portions and body measurements It's been going very well - I'm physically right where I was when I finished the challenge. I switched up the cardio for a month by using a different interval pattern, and my palm and fist might have " grown " a little, but other than that I still follow BFL by the book. > > I was wondering if you've continued living the BFL way pretty much since your first challenge and what kind of results you've been seeing? Have you tweaked things at all? Your progress pics blow me away, I look at them for motivation!!! Great Job! > heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
