Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 I was looking at your ped rhuemy list and thought you might want to know that Dr. Helen Emery is moving her practice to Oregon. I see her at Shriners in Sacramento Ca and she has not said that she is moving there but I did get this information from my CCS nurse in Tehama County and I also so it posted in another pediatric rhuematologist list. I still hope she is going to come down to Shriners for their once a month clinic; but i have a feeling that she will be phasing out of it. However if this information is correct it will be a great thing for those of you who live in Oregon as she is a fabulous doctor.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 In a message dated 10/8/2004 9:16:27 PM Eastern Standard Time, gallstones writes: > Has anyone experienced or witnessed someone finding relief from > hormonal and acne problems from liver flushing? I am considering > starting up a series, but would love some more input before doing so. Hi a, Can only speak from personal experience. I am a 44 year old woman going through the early stages of perimenopause, which is like puberty in reverse. Your hormones go pretty haywire (well, for many women, anyway) and it's not uncommon to have an exacerbation in pms symptoms, as well as a plethora of other symptoms (night sweats, hot flashes, crushing fatigue, migraines, palpitations...you name it). That was the case for me and I dreaded those two weeks every month, which left me pretty well incapacitated. There was no support from my gyn (a woman exactly my age who admitted to me that she was menopausal), who told me it was 'just pms' and there was nothing she could do apart from put me on the bc pill. I left her office feeling like a scolded, silly child and that I must be crazy to think I could be starting the change of life. Well, that's the background, anyway. I did my first flush in March, as I was having GB probs - namely colic - that was also increasing in frequency, which I now understand is very much related to estrogen dominance. After my flush, I was totally amazed that all my pms symptoms all but diminished to nothing the month following and have remained that way. That's not to say that all the other change of life symptoms have diminished. I have noticed an increase in some other perimenopause symptoms, but I can honestly say (apart from the palpitations, which are a little unnerving, though benign), I would rather have these than the debilitating pms. The other thing is that with my flush, I also started taking conscious responsibility for my diet. This has played a huge role, too. While the liver flush cleansed me of a fatty, sluggish liver and GB (allowing my liver, I believe, to get rid of excess estrogens), I found it of high priority to get my diet in shape, as well as including healthy supplements and to begin a regular exercise regimen. Flaxseed oil is particularly good for hormonal imbalances, as well as for healthy functioning of the liver and GB. Can't really comment on the acne issue, as I'm a bit past that stage now, but wish I had known about flushes for my daughter who actually went on a course of Accutane, twice, for her cystic acne. Although the drug worked, the side-effects of that were miserable for her, but at the time we were unaware of any alternatives and had tried pretty much everything else. in retrospect, would definitely have tried liver flushing and diet modifications, first. Not sure that flushing will promote period regularity, but it certainly goes a long way to rid the body of fatty buildup that blocks breakdown and excretion of excess hormones. This I can attest to from my own personal experience, though I would say that flushing goes hand in hand with careful diet, otherwise its like cleaning out your septic tank and then stuffing it with rubbish again...(Weird analogy, but you get the picture). All the best to you with your flushing experience. Let us know how it goes for you and, if you see any improvement in your acne! It's so valuable to have these personal accounts available to us all, as what better evidence is there than this when no funding is available for scientifically run clinical trials? The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so to speak. Peace, n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi ,Yes my husband knows he is depressed and is being treated. My husbandhas had a heart attack about two months ago. I think all the stress fromhome was one of the main stress in why it happened. Physically he isdoing a lot better, mentally he knows he can have no added stress. Well,this isn’t happening. School just started back, episodes after episodeshave been happening. My husband snarls at my son until the last two daysI have seen a major change in my husband. I think he realizes he has tobe more patient with my AS son. I think it all boils down to my sonbeing so gifted and high functioning Autism can be very confusing. Myhusband tends to think it’s all my son and not the AS. I am confusedmyself. I as in tears last night due to trying to get my son to do hishomework. I warmed dinner three times and I finally left it up to him tofinish his work or no playstation. This finaly worked but because itwasn’t neat enough, my husband kills all the good work he did do bytaking away his privilege of playing games. I can’t win here. I did feelfor my son after so many hours of persuasive talking of trying to gethomework accomplished. I just told my husband in private, I can’t dealwith this, this year. I don’t know what IM going to do or what options Ihave but I can’t get that stressed out myself everynight just to getwhat we need him to do, done. Of course hubby doesn’t understandthat….thinks I should sit back and let him take over, too harsh he is.Is it something I am doing wrong?Debs in Bama Debs, I have the same problem at home. We are two weeks into school and my son keeps ending up in detention because he won't do his work. My instinct to handle the situation was the complete opposite of my husband's (step-father). I spoke to my son's neuropscyhologist and she said the behavior is a normal 9-year old, the problem is, as I expected, he doesn't "get" the consequences, therefore he's not trying to control is behavior. I didn't tell my husband "I told you so", thought I wanted to badly. Instead, I just gave him the instructions the doctor gave me. However, my husband is still barking his orders when I'm not present. They are different than mine. Forcing me to choose sides, and confuse the message to my son that my husband and I are a united front. I don't know what to do. My son is starting therapy again next week. I think I'll ask if we can have some family therapy as well. I don't know how to make my husband stop being so harsh. I'm trying to make everyone happy, but no matter what I do, it's not working. I feel so torn between the two. I'm so glad I'm not alone. I've been dealing with this for so long. My son's father is very much in the picture and he's the same as my husband. He as never accepted the Autism and because our son is so high functioning he tires to "drives" the Autism out of our son. The poor kid just gets it where ever he goes. I'm the only one that seems to support him. Thanks for listening. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 and Debs, I am right there with you too. My husband is my son’s father but by adoption not biology. I deal with all the same issues both of you are dealing with in the department of parenting differences. Just wanted to let you know that someone else was there with you too. -Charlotte From: Autism and Aspergers Treatment [mailto:Autism and Aspergers Treatment ] On Behalf Of Hays Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2005 10:41 AM Autism and Aspergers Treatment Subject: Re: Digest Number 1937 Hi , Yes my husband knows he is depressed and is being treated.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Everybody, thanks for the info on HPV, dysplasia, et. al. But what is Infra-red Coagulation? Posted by: " Norm Stuart " ns02@... <mailto:ns02@...?Subject= Re%3A%20Get%20your%20butt%20checked> norm_w_stuart <norm_w_stuart> Wed Apr 4, 2007 2:10 pm (PST) Aldara is one of many treatments to use. My Doctor too uses Infra-red Coagulation to remove high grade dysplasia and Aldara to treat low grade dysplasia. Some patients who do not respond to Aldara are later treated with Infra-red Coagulation. And patients treated with Infra-red Coagulation, after they are healed, are often then treated with Aldara to control a recurrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 The halogen light Infra-red coagulation is too destructive as a removal technique for low-grade anal dysplasia. Acids or immune activation drugs like Aldara are effective and less destructive. > >> > Everybody, thanks for the info on HPV, dysplasia, et. al.
