Sheri,

It's good to see your perspective on this. I have

noticed a similar pattern with my children (although

not as much lately) when compared with another family

that we're close to. Their diet is pretty awful and

their lifestyle isn't exactly the picture of health.

Their children rarely have colds however and this has

been (not very nicely) pointed out to me every time

one of mine had the sniffles. It never bothers me

though, because what I've come to realize is that your

body builds up a tolerance to things. Just as a

person who smokes their first cigarette chokes and

gags and coughs, their body is saying nope, not a good

thing to do. But after they do this enough (ignoring

their body's signals) the body pretty much gives up

trying to warn them and moves on to trying to adapt to

this new toxin that is now present in the body.

I noticed a similar pattern when considering our

diets. When someone in my family starts to seem

congested, or otherwise " off " , I immediately look for

the reason why. It is a signal to me that we have

slacked off in some area. Usually, they aren't

drinking enough water, or their diet has consisted of

too much starch and not enough fresh fruits/veggies.

Those are almost always the culprits (although of

course there could be other factors). Eliminating

starchy foods (breads, tofu, etc.) and drinking more

water, or eating exclusively live foods always fixes

the problem. When my husband and I were younger,

before we changed our lifestyles, we ate the typical

American diet. Mcs, processed foods and Pepsi.

We rarely ate vegetables (and when we did they were

cooked to death) and I can say for myself, almost

NEVER drank water. To imagine existing like that now,

I can hardly comprehend it. But I'm saying all of

this to say that you would think we would have

constantly been sick. Eating no real foods, no live

fruits or vegetables, no WATER... we used to have

colds occasionally, as most people did, but our bodies

were certainly suffering on a much deeper level. How

could my body warn me about the levels of starches in

my diet when that was all I ate (along with animals

and animal by-products).

Peace & Blessings,

<<Chelly,

I'll try to answer this from a homeopathic

perspective. It is GOOD

that a

child gets sick - its hard to understand. But it is a

sign of a

healthy

immune system/vital force that the body is able to

produce symptoms to

throw of the disturbance (that is called illness).

Your friends child

is

dealing with a chronic illness and can't get minor

acute illnesses as

his

disturbance is deeper and the body is dealing with

that. That is not

good,

as he is not able to throw of the same disturbance

that he probably

has.>>

Hello all,

To those of you in Phila area, Collegeville etc, I am in Wyomissing, Berks

County - home of Vanity Fair outlet complex (suburb of Reading)

Migraines - I've had them for years. Rheumy tells me that part of the

reason I get them is that there is so much arthritis in my neck and the

joints swell and pinch off the blood vessels and therefore blood supply to

the head. I've started about a year ago with Imitrex injections for

migraines. I don't use them often, but it surely is nice to know that I

have something in my medical cabinet that I can take. They are in a plunger

form of injection and easy to use - must use them before the migraine takes

over to do the job. This drug doesn't have the let me sleep for 3 days side

affect..........I get a rush or warm feeling within a few minutes of the

injection, I try to lay down about a half hour and the pain is gone and not

the drowsiness that typically comes from migraine meds.

I can't say that I've had headaches from MTX or Remicade.

I am new to this group. I love the way that you all conect and share your stories and successes and challenges.

What info do you have or can offer links to about HIV/AIDS? If what I read is correct, ldn stops/slows progression of illnesses, doesn't cure it. If viral load is high, would it stop/slow progression, then allowing immune system to begin to recover and have more ammunition to continue the fight?

Thanks for your voices.

I think in the last 4 or 5 pages of this message board there was someone who

posted his results with LDN in HIV or AIDS. Click on previous link and scan the

past seveal days for the HIV/AIDS topics.
