Thanks Giles. I have one of the special keyboards to use with my laptop. It

totally messed up the system however so I had to abandon it. I have a shield

under my laptop, but I work at it all day

The only thing i can recommend is to use a separate keyboard on your computer so

you are are as far away from the EMF make sure there is a little as possible

wireless in the office, cable everything for the net, and dont be near any light

bulbs that flicker thats a good start.

As for gadgets out there, dont rely on them. You will improve if you give your

body time to recover especially at night which is so important.

Diets, just eat heathy it cant hurt, I haven't heard of anyone out there who has

found a magic pill yet?

Reki and Qi Gong helps me, cope and understand energy.

Hope this helps.

I would like to introduce myself. I do not have the serious effects that many of

you may have. But I feel it in my body as aches pains and headaches in a deep

way. My work requires computer hi speed connection and so I am looking for

whatever suggestions for protection and remediation anyone can suggest that is

tangible. I have tried most of the things on the market and don't know how well

they really abate the frequencies. I also council clients on how to improve

their health and EMF is an ever growing concern for them as well and I want to

learn all I can to help them as well. Thank you! Lynn

I have my wifi disabled and use ethernet. I don't understand all the

technical info though. I live way out in the country where cell towers are

not too good. A well meaning techie friend installed a cell phone

repeater/amplifier in my house. That night I experienced sleep disturbance

and cramping pain all over my body. I shut it off that night and do not use

it except when someone needs to temporarily. I think it is more the cell

phone frequencies that I am sensitive to.

I notice my fingers hurt a great deal and get cold from typing all day. I

do have a pair of shielded gloves but they are not always convenient.

Computers always misbehave or crash around me. I live in retrograde Mercury!

Hi Lynn,

So do you think it is your highspeed internet connection that is causing you

the most trouble? I find the highspeed internet connection is the worst when

it is actually being used -- that is for downloading or uploading for

extended periods of time. Also, I've found that the higher speeds of cable

were worse than the lower speeds of DSL (also, there are software

applications which will " throttle " your speed, and I've found that these do

indeed help if you lower the peak speeds).

I have NOT found improvement by using specially shielded ethernet cables (I

assume you are using ethernet and NOT wireless!).

I have found improvement by using different computers using the same high

speed connection, so there is some contribution from the computer and/or the

network card (perhaps a 10/100 connection is easier to tolerate than a

10/100/1000 connection? I don't know)

Also, I've had some luck with EMF protection devices with the highspeed

internet -- quantum products, earthcalm, etc.

Okay, what about the phones in your house -- are they wireless or wired?

(people here usually do better with wired phones). What about dimmer

switches -- those can cause people trouble. And energy-efficient

compact florescent lights -- these are worse than the old incandesent

lights.

And if you're using a laptop, using an external monitor, keyboard and

mouse can help merely by getting yourself further away from the laptop.

And people with lots of money can use fiber optic cables,

so some of the damaging frequencies don't travel along the wires

from your laptop to your monitor/keyboard/mouse (but this would

require digital outputs: DVI for the monitor, and USB for the keyboard

and mouse)

I am a working stiff.not lots of money! I do not have a land line.I work

with a VoiP phone. I do have a cell phone but don't keep it on me or stay

on it any longer than I have to. Yes there are dimmers about the house. I

deelectrify my bedroom at night. I do not use any of the curly

fluorescents. I do have a couple of regular fluorescent lights in the

utility room but do not stay under them.

I'm glad to hear you are recovering...it sounds like you still have a long road

ahead of you.

Get lots of sleep!!! I actually went back to work before I was ready and it

wasn't until week 3 that I felt myself...so over the weekend I then came down

with a cold. I think it's due to me being still tired/run down. It hurts like

#@!! to sneeze and blow my nose. My house is a mess and my Christmas decorations

aren't up yet. Might not get done at all.

My nodes on my surgical side are still HUGE!! You can see them stick out of my

neck like an adam's apple. Dr. Antonelli said it was due to the filtering of the

staph infection and it's a good thing. Yes, they do hurt!

Hang in there and we'll all continue to be here for one another

if it was holding on to anything or not. So he is giving it until may or june in

That skin is

my grand list, he said we will try everything before doing the have to and I

really appreciate him for that. The Doctor also told my husband and myself that

I waS actually useing that skin ball for conductive hearing that's why I was

Bless your heart you have had a terriable time of it! I am so sorry that it had to go that way . But I tell you what I really think that this thing is more traumatic to the body than a the dr's want to think. When I woke up I truley thought I was in h@#$. My ear felt like it was coming off and my head hurt so bad I actually cried I am usually much tougher with pain( worked a year with a dislocated hip, that is lifting people who are overwight and non-mobile) but this thing made me cry! I am with you sister and hey if those decorations don't get up this year no big deal take whatever minutes you can get and rest the kids will never remember it. Take it easy, Malerie

Hi,

The only doctor that can determine what is best for you is a true Scoliosis

specialist, not a sports doctor. If you go to the Scoliosis Research Society, I

think the website is www.srs.org, they have a doctor search option where you can

look for someone in your area. I was operated on 32 years ago and my doctor is

retired so I cannot offer any ideas, but please go to the site I mentioned as it

can point you in the right direction. Also, if at all possible, get three

opinions before making a decision. Find out how many surgeries each doctor

does, you want someone who does them often. They should be certified in

scoliosis surgery and treatment. I wish you the best of luck, there are options

for you, you just need to find the right doctor. What area of the country are

you in?

Hello

Hi, I am new here and I have scoliosis diagnosed at 18 back in 1991 or 1992. I

was told that there was nothing that could be done at the age I was. Now at 36 I

am having severe back and neck pain. I think my diagnoses is double s curve at

45 Degrees. I have taken every kind of medications to treat pain or

inflammation. Nothing seems to work. I take Lortabs but they are getting where

they don't help. Exercise just makes the pain worse. I now osteoarthritis in my

neck and back and it just aches all the time. I have been to a sports medicine

doctor that is suppose to be a scoliosis specialist. But he took x-rays, MRI and

just said physical therapy is about all I can do. He said that when the pain

gets so bad that I can't get out of bed then he said that maybe we could do

something. So that is my story... Pain, Pain, and more Pain!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear RaeRae

At 19 there was something a scoliosis doctor could have done if your

curves were large enough. Now, again, a scoliosis doctor could evaluate your

situation and do surgery if warranted. A sports doctor is not the kind of

doctor you need. He can not help you now or later. Check out SRS.org and

find a qualified doctor where you live. A spine is not something you want to

be handled by anyone else.

Hi everyone. I have read the info in the files but I am still confused, wondering if anyone has any insight for me.I was just diagnosed with some type of auto-immune hyperT.

I think your ND is brilliant. do you have any more info on the iodine?

is it lugols solution? can you figure out the dose?

Hi, I was told that I was probably born with scoliosis that was never discovered

until I was 38. But I was ask many questions about any tramatic events during

my adolescent like a car accident, bad fall, etc.my curves were probably in the

20 and 30 degree range until it started progressing, within a year my top curve

was 66 degrees and the bottom was 78 degrees. Generally that don't consider

surgery unless your at least 40 degrees.

Hi Liz

Glad your able to post again.

I broke my back also in 1980, and after several surgerys and much suffering, I

can kinda walk again.

I hope your doing well.

Do you know what happened to Sherry Villers, the old owner of this group?

Do you have any contact with her?

Me and Scarlet are the new owners, trying to keep this group active.

We also run the group -

http://health.dir./group/ / - and have linked this

group to that one.

You can join us there if you like.

I have built a huge links library, and we have a great bunch of people there.

Sorry about the moderation.

My family was the same. In fact, they thought I was nuts.

It's all good though. And now that I'm back and they see that I'm down nearly 30

lbs in just over 3 weeks, I don't think they know what to say. It's not really

talked about anymore in terms of worry, just - how much have you lost now? Wow,

I can really tell, especially in your face. Stuff like that.

Dr. Aceves and his staff are very professional and on top of things. I was

skeptical going into this, but I am a believer now.

They will take care of you, don't worry. The only minor downside is the

language barrier with the nurses, but you can get around that with the

english/spanish translation sheet they provide to you for common requests and

responses.

Hi,

So many of our families are not on board with us having the surgery or going to Mexicali. They are concerned about you and that is quite normal. You DO NOT need to have their permission to do what is best for you. You are the adult and have the right to make your own choice and this is an excellent one. So go ahead with your plans. Tell them that you understand their concern, but you are going ahead with your plans and you would like their support.

This is a very safe, and great place to have your surgery. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) says that Dr. Aceves has less of an infection rate at his hospital in Mexicali, that ANY US hospital. Some older people tend to believe that every thing is bad and dirty in Mexico when it comes to doctors. This is soooooooooooo wrong and we need to educated some of these people. You are going to a complete Hospital with all the latest equipment and doctors who's skills are by far better than a lot of US doctors. You are NOT going to a clinic like some of the weight loss surgeries are done at in other board towns. You will have excellent care. If I were sick and thought I could get back to Dr. Aceves in time, I wouldn't think twice about going back to him to have him take care of me. You will NEVER find a doctor in the US who will give you as great of care that you are going to receive from Dr. Aceves and Dr. Compos.

So I want to you realize this is ALL about YOU and NO one else. It really doesn't matter what they think or what they want. You have to do what is right for you.

I am more than happy to talk with any one from your family and explain any question that they will have. Give them my E-mail Suzannesh@... and have them send me an E-mail with their questions. Most people on this board would do the same thing.

Hugs,

Suzanne

During the day ALL the nurses when I was there spoke excellent English. It is only at night that this is some language barriers. And you can work around that pretty easy.
