As to the teeth, well mine isn't complying very well either, but that isn't going to keep me from believing that I can regrow new teeth. Just need to find out what the body needs to do it. Are you experiencing any other problems along with Sjogren's Syndrome like Lupus, Scleroderma, RA etc.? Just curious to know if you only suffer from Sjogren's or if you also have one of the other ailments that usually go along with it. Also what, precisely, is your diet like? Keeping your body in a more alkaline state will result in less harmful bacteria and more good bacteria. Overall this will help your body greatly as there is less chance for infections to set in so less chance for your WBC's to attack your moisture producing glands, as well as, your organs. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Boy you have yourself a handful. LOL Have you tried Capsacin cream for your neuralgia? There appears to be some research supporting its use in helping to relieve the pain anyway. I believe that the Nerve Herbal Food Formula would help your MS and the Antispasmodic formula would help with the neuralgia. Has to be better than the anit-seizure meds and probably more safe with less side effects. Ah falafel, one of my favorites to be sure. However, eating too many beans is not doing your body too much good. Have you tried juicing at all? Beets and wheat grass are excellent blood cleansers and beet juice is great for the liver especially if mixed with carrot and cucumber. Carrot juice is also very good for the blood as is apple. Apple is also very good for the lymph. Celery juice is a good nerve tonic. All in all I would say that doing some juice cleansing/detoxifying/healing might help you on your way to much better health with less problems. You might also consider lecithin and either Hemp seed oil (food grade) or Udo's oil for the omegas. Very important for the nerves and helping to rebuild and protect the myelin sheath. Another benefit of juicing will be giving your body the organic minerals that it needs to repair and rebuild the damage that is done. You should also make sure that you are getting enough potassium in your diet and preferrable organic potassium which you will get with juicing your veggies. Don't eat them drink them. Easier on your body and gets the minerals and vitamins where they need to be much quicker. You might also wish to add some plant enzymes into your diet as well. Your body needs all the enzymes it has to do what it needs to do to keep your body functioning. Don't waste your digestive enzymes (you only have a limited supply). Selenium and other anti-oxidants will help to minimize damage from free radicals caused by viruii, bacteria, yeast and toxins. This is just my thoughts right now. If you wish to discuss this in more detail or have any questions feel free to ask. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Hi Jan, I was reading your list of diagnoses and the first thing that came into my mind was that you should really read about Vitamin C. Many of the conditions you mention are considered to be forms of scurvy. Another thing to read up on is water and the correct water/sea salt balance in your body and how much you should be drinking. If you decide to go with Vitamin C, I'd recommend a powdered C (C Crystals) taken in a juice you like. I'd use a minimum dosage of 3 grams (3,000mg) taken in divided doses throughout the day. If ascorbic acid is too much for you there are other forms of ascorbate that are non-acetic. I'd steer around Ester-C though after some of the articles I've read on it, besides it's pretty expensive. As to your TN, I really understand. I have a friend that has that and has had to use some pretty nasty stuff on it. He finally had a gamma knife operation as pharmaceuticals were just insufficient (all the way to morphine) to cope with his pain. He still has some twinges and still uses Tegretol occasionally but not as bad as before. Something herbal you might try would be a capsaicin cream as Don suggested. It will 'scramble' the nerve impulses somewhat if the problem is near the surface. They use this a lot in the nerve pain for shingles (herpes zoster?). Be careful not to blister your skin though as some of the stronger ones can do that. Another thing would be to start consuming oats. Oats are a nervine tonic if NOT cooked. Place them in lukewarm water the night before and have them for breakfast. That will help strengthen your nervous system. I'd also avoid refined sugar as it has a tendency to increase pain from what I've observed. Use honey or agave nectar, maple syrup or similar. For those that aren't aware of what Trigeminal Neuralgia is or the pain associated with it, think about this: Have you ever eaten ice cream too fast or drank something really cold too fast? Remember the pain in your head from that? From what I understand THAT's about what TN feels like!! A good place to start on Vitamin C is: http://www.seanet.com/~alexs/ascorbate/197x/stone-i-med_hypotheses_1979-v5- p711.htm Another good site: http://vitamincfoundation.org/ Here's a quote from this site: " Overall, we found, 12 percent of Americans had vitamin C deficiency, " said Hampl. " Normally, doctors and other health professionals think of scurvy as a disease of the past, but our research has shown that this really isn't true. " Scurvy, or vitamin C deficiency, is associated with low-grade inflammation, fatigue, limping, gum bleeding, or swollen extremities. Vitamin C depletion can also lead to a multitude of other health problems and diseases " Another is: http://www.megalink.net/~vitac/downloadpage.html This has a free downloadable book (MS Word format) called " Ezekiel's Medicine " . This one is well researched and VERY informative. Another is: http://www.watercure.com - read some of the articles here. I bought one of his books. Even though he is an M.D., his research and reasoning is fascinating. And the last is: http://www.doctoryourself.com - this one has all kinds of stuff on it. Good read!! Hope that helps someone somewhere. Hope you feel better!! Skip On 3 Jul 2004 at 12:12, Janelle Witter wrote: > Oh yeah I have diagnoses besides Sjogren's. Multiple > Sclerosis, fibro, Hep C.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Here is what I've found from Dr. s disc , Don I believe has his book and may know the exact ratios... if I were trying to make it without knowing I would probably try equal parts but double to triple the oak bark.. but wait and see if Don knows. Suzi Herbal Tooth Powder- Dosages: For severe cases place this powder combination between the lips and gums (up and lower) around entire tooth area and leave onall night, six nights a week (as well as brushing regularly) until improvement is evident. Then continue on with regular tooth brushing with this herbal food combination. Original Formula Ingredients: Oak bark, oat straw, comfrey root, horsetail grass, lobelia, cloves, peppermint - Oak bark being larger quantity than the rest This formula is used to help strengthen the gums (bleeding and pyorrhea-type infections of the gums), and assist in tightening loose teeth. This type tooth powder will brighten the teeth's luster and make for a healthier mouth. For severe cases place this powder combination between the lips and gums (up and lower) around entire tooth area and leave on all night, six nights a week (as well as brushing regularly) until improvement is evident. Then continue on with regular tooth brushing with this herbal food combination.Pee Tee <peetee1965@...> wrote: On the subject of teeth, the 'other group' was doing some chatting about it recently and zeb had talked about some tooth powder but wouldn't give the recipe but he did mention dr. christopher so I did some searching.
