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.

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.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2000 Report Share Posted February 3, 2000 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.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2000 Report Share Posted June 22, 2000 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@....

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 , 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.

Great dried and used in a bath tea! .. .. >>> 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. mjhhttp://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 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 Judy T wrote: 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 Judy T --------------------------------- Find local movie times and trailers on Movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
