A number True enough... it doesn't address the " bad hiring decision " of being treated by an idiot, nor the lunacy of allowing the idiot to continue treatment. > I think the point Dr. Conn was making is that some doctors are selling > overpriced supplements that a consumer could buy on the outside at cheaper > prices. As for all these poor doctors who need this extra income as you I understand that. That's part of a competitive environment. It's kind of like, why do people pay $2 per book more at amazon.com than they do at book.com? Because they want to. And that want can take the position of " trust " , " selection " , " convenience " , etc. It is seldom " uni-dimensional " Are they being gouged? I suppose only they could righteousy answer that question. > claim, I personally haven't noticed too many doctors driving a beat up ol' > car like mine recently, unless they happen to work in rural America and take > food for payment. That's simply due to not being " in " that particular business. An extraordinary large percentage of Doctors and Attorneys end up in bankruptcy due to a lack of formal training in business. (Not accountants though, interestingly.) A fact that has not been lost on supplement companies nor on pharmaceuticals. Why is it, do you think, that when a Physician writes a script for an MRI he may send you to a " particular " one, even though it's not the most convenient to you? Try the words " limited partnership " . Now apply those words to radiology, microbiology, laboratories, et al and you get the drift... it's like a giant octopus, except it would be something like a " millipus " . > Hopefully, you realize I am generalizing to make a point.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 Well I think I killed something!!! That pineapple diet took something apart. Pieces of what looked like skin showed up in the bowel when I took my coffee enema. Unfortunately I don't have a coliander to collect this stuff and examine it, so I can't tell if it all came out. Next battle is the roundworm family! --- About toxicity symptoms, I find coffee enemas are most effective. This way the toxins are not recirculating...however, if you have never done one, it is best to use some sort of liver tonic (such as milk thistle) before hand, as well as start with a cleansing enema, followed by the coffee enema. --- About wormwood, I agree with Patty. Everything in moderation. Yes it is toxic, and usually it is taken in combination with other herbs to lessen the toxicity. Wormwood is also a sedative. However I have taken it alone in tea, and not noticed any problems. Apparently it can become addictive...but I don't know about that...cause it tastes awful!!! --- I plan to use Paragone...when I can find it for my 5yo. Right now I use GFSE (grapefruit seed extract) to control her candida. --- BTW my husband just tried some senna leaf tea and passed ropies also...WOW what a powerful cleanser! That's after 1 cup. --- This is great list...I'm so glad I found it...where else can you talk about such matters? Donna P.S. I just checked Prescription for Nutritional Healing and it doesn't say anything about wormwood being " toxic " ...but it does say... " Should not be used during pregnancy, as it can cause spontaneous abortion " ... " Can be habit forming with long term use " . _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 This message is for : I went into PubMed, the site I mentioned in my last post and did a search for cognitive function and chemotherapy....the site is acting really screwy lately and did not bring up pertinent studies. However......I next did a search for you and HIT THE JACKPOT!!! Here's what you do: go to http://www.google.com, and do a search for " cognitive function impaired by chemotherapy. " Hit the google search button and VOILA!!! Many, many studies are cited. Some mention breast cancer, right up your alley. Say, many CONGRATULATIONS to you on your upcoming college degree!! I'll say a prayer tonight that God will restore your thinking to before the chemo. As more and more time goes by, you will see improvement according to what I've read. Also, get yourself pronto on a sugar-free diet!! You can still satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit and fruit juices and dates, and raw almonds, which are sweet. I used to be a sugar junkie. I lost 20 lbs. mainly by cutting out sugar, which is totally empty calories. Don't even be tempted!! Grocery stores are notorious for being sugar drug pushers with every aisle laden with candy bars!! It takes real will power, but your health is worth it. Best of luck!!

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 I agree, Granny. I have to admit, last night there were storms rolling in, and I could just see having dinner 1/2 way done, and power going out, so I got Arby's for dinner. But we don't do that too often, as the boys really like veggies, and you don't find them " out " as much. We do sit down and eat together, though. Dean works 3rd shift, and he will get out of bed to eat with us and go back to bed an hour later if he has to...When the boys played soccer, I was their coach, and at 4 years old, they were involved 1 day a week, for an hour. My husband helped me coach, as 9 four and five year olds can be a handful... I had the freedom growing up to play a backyard game of whiffle ball every day for about 4 years, with all the neighborhood kids. I also played Soccer, as did my brother. He switched to Football, and was an Allstate athlete...When he got to college, on a football scholarship, of course, he was so tired of having it shoved down his throat, he drank himself out of school...Not to mention having 2 surgeries for brain aneurysms, and later being told it's a good thing he quit, one more tackle could kill him, period... One more thing...When my parents were still married, I remember family softball games in the front yard, we used boat cushions for bases, and the families on the block were involved, too. My grandparents would even drive 15 minutes there to watch, and that was a lot, for them... It was a happy time, and we were together..After the divorce, all of the family play stopped, and I try very hard to give my children a sense of the good times...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 We incorporate much more adults playing with the kids. Our baseball boys challenge parents to games every year, our neighborhood has adults against the kids games at the firestation. At my son's baseball practices they always had some dads on the field helping, not just the coach. I don't know who loves it more, the kids or the dads ... I also can't tell who are cockier!! ;-) I find it sad that my son's team has more parents watching them practice than other teams have show up for a game. We have seen totally empty bleachers for other teams, parents drive up and drop off their kids. But I have no idea what needs to be done at their homes. I just wish those parents could be having as much fun as our side is!! ;-) Cheryl in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 My daughter is 3 and has always been above average (70%). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 My daughter w/ BPES was an 8lb baby, but has always been on the smaller side of the growth curves. We did growth studies as an adolescent and all was normal, so the endocrinologist didn't believe in altering nature. At age 22, she is 5'2 " & healthy...just a lot shorter than her 6'5 " brother & 5'10 " sister. I don't think slow growth necessarily goes with the syndrome. blepharophimosis Slow growth (physical)? Hi ~ Its been awhile since I've posted here. My daughter Halle has BPES and is 16mos old. At her check up 3mos ago, her weight was in the 5th percentile which concerned the doc a bit. She said she wanted to check her again in 3 mos - which was today. Halle's appetite had improved considerably and I was certain her weight would be way up. I was totally shocked when they told me she had actually lost a bit of weight. She's now in the 3rd percentile (18.1lbs and 30 " long). The doctor is wondering if its related to her BPES. She is running a bunch of tests to ensure that there's not some reason she is not gaining weight. She is otherwise very healthy and very active. She has not been sick and seems to have lots of energy. They want to check her for Cystic Fibrosis and had her wrists x-rayed to check her bone growth. They also want her food monitored and recorded for 2 weeks and took a urine and stool sample to run other tests. I am so worried now. My other children are small as well and until today was certain that's all it was. But now I am very concerned. Has anyone else experienced a slower growth with their Bleph babies? Thanks for anyone's opinions or experiences! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 It sounds like your daughter is healthy and she is on the small side, but you mentioned your family is on the smaller side. She is so young, babies go through lots of changes in size. take care Beth > My daughter is 3 and has always been above average (70%).
