I had class III acne and cystular acne all my life til 1987. On a dare, i

tried " Biogime " . (now called " BIOZHEM " ) It works. You will notice an

improvement overnight. YES, overnight. I am 48 years old. I had acne from

age 11 til 35. I have had dry ice, retin A (20 years before it was popular)

acid etching, cystular injections, and scar revision. It works for me and I

recommend it to all my clients. It will cost you about $100 and some change

to get into a 5 step system. Takes about 2 minutes to use. If you can't

afford/don't want to afford that, I recommend an oatmeal marshmallow lye

soap. Personally, I would work two jobs seven days a week and eat cardboard

to afford the Biozhem. It's that dramatic.

Be grateful you didn't go on Infergen,

it was soooo bad, 10 times worse

than combo. I'm a non-responder

to both! Now in the running for new

clinical trials on a PEG variation.

Good luck, cyn

Dear Cyn.....

I was told by a heptologist in Seattle, that if I'd not responded to

interferon and to the combo, that I'm probably immune to the stuff by now.

And not to bother. Just take Actigall and sit back and wait. And check back

with the U of W to see what's new in trials occasionally. I talked with a

lot of doctors before deciding that if there was anything left I could try,

I'd better do it now. So there'd be no regrets later.

I just wasn't able to. But that gave me such relief! Now I can continue

with my life, as it is, without thinking " am I gonna be worse off for trying,

end up not in remission but much worse from treatment.

I was never even considered for the PEGylated.........something to do with my

blood again. Or was it that you had to not have used any interferon first?

Can't remember why! Nothing new there!

Good luck if you try it...............but from what I've heard, it probably

won't work.

You're probably immune to it by now too.

Luv, Simone

Dear All:

One of the things that I have found, and been strongly committed to

is that every person I see, treat, or correspond with, is an individual,

with different " body chemistries " . What that has translated into is that

different people respond very differently to many medications. I use

this policy for everyone and tell them that up front.

I have also seen patients on interferon experience different

reactions when they take any medication. Whether it be benadryl, which I

have seen patients experience a sedative effect at times, and, the next

day it makes them hyper. No one knows exactly why, nor can any of us

predict a pattern beforehand.

Even different brands sometimes work differently from day to day.

So, never make any assumptions on medications, herbal therapy, etc. Even

the norms that are used in day to day medicines, when taking the

interferon, or combo therapy etc., may have an unpredictable affect. If

this happens to you, let your provider know. Also, keeping a diary of

what is happening in your life, foods, stress, and the weather,

sometimes demonstrates a pattern, and can be used to avoid some of these

side effects.

Hope this helps. Marty

In reviewing the dialogue between Narda and Tammy on June 1, I just wanted

to be sure you were aware that there is NIOSH funded migrant and seasonal

farmworker occupational injury surveillance currently going on in the

Northeast (from Maine to land) by the Northeast Center. This

surveillance is health center-based, and also incorporates emergency room

and outreach worker encounters. If you would like any further information

on this study, please let me know at Grichard@....

> Summary of

> AN ASSESSMENT OF WORKER TRAINING

> UNDER THE WORKER PROTECTION STANDARD

>

> Alice C. Larson, Ph.D.

> Vashon Island, WA

>

> FINDINGS

>

> 1. Is Wps Worker Training Happening?

>

> * It is not clear how many workers have been trained or the number of

> employers doing WPS worker training.

>

> * Those least likely to train their workers are smaller establishments.

>

> * The major providers of WPS worker training are agricultural employers or

> their direct agents (including supervisors and labor contractors). The

> second primary training source is AFOP AmeriCorps Members.

>

> * The most widely used medium for training is a video.

>

> * There is concern over quality of training.

>

> * The training tools and materials developed by EPA seem adequate.

>

> * Many feel workers should be retrained within a time frame shorter than

> five years.

>

>

> 2. What are the Barriers to WPS Worker Training?

>

> * Providing WPS worker training in strict compliance with the law is not

> considered to be extremely difficult; however, training seasonal and

mobile

> workers is problematic.

>

> * Employers are not convinced of the need for worker training.

>

> * Many employers say giving WPS training to seasonal workers will make

them

> afraid to work in agriculture, or they will use the information to file

> ungrounded complaints.

>

> * Employers attach many liability-related concerns to providing WPS worker

> training.

>

> * Employers and worker-related trainers disagree on whether workers are

> interested in or learn the information and if they change their unsafe

> behavior as a result of training. Differences in viewpoints may be

> attributable to the differing roles each group has with workers.

>

>

> 3. What is the Extent of State Level Activity Around WPS Worker Training?

>

> * SLAs have less time to spend on WPS, lack staffing and funding, and

> therefore, emphasize worker training less now than when the regulation was

> first enacted.

>

> * WPS training requirements, as of 1997, were not greatly enforced by

SLAs.

> New guidance from EPA emphasizing enforcement over compliance assistance

may

> or may not change this situation.

>

> * Lack of enforcement may affect lack of training.

>

>

> 4. Are Training Verification Cards Used and Accepted?

>

> * Training cards are not widely used or emphasized (except in two states

> where state cards are mandatory).

>

> * The quality of training represented by state distributed EPA cards can

> differ greatly. Each state trains, certifies trainers and monitors

training

> differently.

>

>

> RECOMMENDATIONS

>

> * It is recommended that EPA reconvene the WPS Focus Group to discuss

> overall WPS implementation successes and barriers as well as address

several

> of the specific recommendations presented in this study.

>

>

> 1. Increase WPS Worker Training

>

> * Incentives, such as Worker's Compensation pay back programs should be

> provided and other benefits identified to encourage more employers to

> educate workers.

>

> * Smaller agricultural employers should consider engaging a " human

> resources/training " contractor to assist in meeting regulatory compliance

> including required worker training.

>

> * General liability concerns of agricultural employers around WPS worker

> training should be identified and addressed.

>

> * WPS provisions requiring worker training should be enforced. Affected

> parties should meet together to establish effective and reasonable means

for

> enforcement and assure investigations are thorough and fair.

>

> * EPA should revisit the idea of requiring recordkeeping as proof of

worker

> training.

>

> * Labor contractors should be targeted for train-the-trainer efforts and

> encouraged to educate their crew members. Agricultural employers relying

on

> labor contractors to provide WPS worker training should specify this in

> their contractual arrangements and make sure contractors train their

> workers.

>

> * The AFOP Farmworker Environmental Education Program, which sponsors

> AmeriCorps Members providing WPS pesticide safety training for workers

> should be enlarged and helped to increase its effectiveness.

>

> * Non-profit organizations, insurance companies and other agents should be

> encouraged to provide quality WPS training to workers.

>

> * " Success factors " of model states and training programs should be

> documented and publicized.

>

>

> 2. Utilize More Effective WPS Worker Training Methods

>

> * An effective and efficient method to provide WPS worker training which

can

> reasonably be delivered by agricultural employers or their representatives

> should be developed.

>

> * A formal field comparison of the three primary methods to present WPS

> worker instruction should be conducted to judge the success of each in

> imparting information and encouraging behavioral change.

>

> * Agricultural employers should be encouraged to utilize AFOP AmeriCorps

> Members as a viable no cost means to effectively train their employees

under

> the WPS.

>

>

> 3. Examine and Publicize Evidence of the Need for Training Workers on

Basic

> Pesticide Health and Safety Issues

>

> * Research and anecdotal evidence concerning the need for workers to

receive

> basic pesticide health and safety information should be gathered from a

> variety of sources and promoted.

>

> * The information used in support of the WPS requirement for worker

> training, the sense that REIs are not sufficient to guarantee worker

safety

> and the rationale for continuing training 30 days after conclusion of the

> REI should be emphasized.

>

> * Behavioral patterns and beliefs in Mexico and other home countries of

the

> majority of migrant and seasonal farmworkers that might lead recently

> arrived workers not to view pesticide safety as " common sense " should be

> documented.

>

> * Additional research should be undertaken to assess the level of

pesticide

> health and safety knowledge among different groups of workers and profile

> those least likely to have this information as a means to target more

> comprehensive training.

>

>

> 4. Design More Systems To Provide Effective Training for Short-Term

> Agricultural Workers and Establish a Trustworthy Method for Training

> Verification

>

> * The WPS Focus Group (whose members include SLAs, farmworker service

> providers and advocates, agricultural association representatives,

extension

> service personnel and others) should be reconvened as a forum for

discussion

> of a workable training verification system.

>

> * A national level card system administered by EPA using certified

trainers,

> set instructional guidelines and a card that represents quality education

> should be developed.

>

> * Liability concerns of agricultural employers around training

verification

> systems and acceptable documentation should be researched and addressed.

Thanks so much for updating us, . I am so sorry you have had to

go through all this. I look forward to learning more about your

situation.

Best,

I think what you're looking for is:

The canalith repositioning procedure: for treatment of benign paroxysmal

positional vertigo.

I have used it a number of times for BPPV(one very severe) with good

results. The reference for this technique is:

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1992 Sep;107(3):399-404

The abstract follows...

Epley JM.

Portland Otologic Clinic, OR 97213.

The Canalith Repositioning Procedure (CRP) is designed to treat benign

paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) through induced out-migration of

free-moving pathological densities in the endolymph of a semicircular canal,

using timed head maneuvers and applied vibration. This article describes the

procedure and its rationale, and reports the results in 30 patients who

exhibited the classic nystagmus of BPPV with Hallpike maneuvers. CRP

obtained timely resolution of the nystagmus and positional vertigo in 100%.

Of these, 10% continued to have atypical symptoms, suggesting concomitant

pathology; 30% experienced one or more recurrences, but responded well to

retreatment with CRP. These results also support an alternative theory that

the densities that impart gravity-sensitivity to a semicircular canal in

BPPV are free in the canal, rather than attached to the cupula. CRP offers

significant advantages over invasive and other noninvasive treatment

modalities in current use.

>>> Lemon balm ( officinalis) in fresh and freshly tinctured form is a potent antiviral. People frequently underestimate with power of this bountiful grower. Most of it's healing power is lost in the dried state, what remains is a pleasant flavor.

Hi Ursula

Welcome to the group. I see we are from the same city, sorry we had to meet

like this, but you will find this group a great souce of information and

support. If you like, maybe we could meet and compare diseases, or just have

coffee, it is good to finally meet some one else near by who is taking glivec

and dealing with cml

Hi Dane

good to hear things are still going well. I had magnesium problems early after

the transplant, they got better as my counts returned to normal. 62 days is

great, when can you plan to go home, is it after 100 days, or is it related to

counts. Keep up the good work
