Re: Digest Number 608

[Guest guest]

I wanted to bring to your attention an advertisement in a recent issue of

BackPacker magazine. Inside the front cover of the December issue of

" BackPacker " Magazine features an ad for NIKE ACG (All Conditions Gear)

introducing their Air Dry-Goat athletic shoe.  The ad is black print on a

red background and does not copy well.  This is the paragraph that I would

like to bring to your attention.

" Fortunately,  the Air Dry-Goat features a patented goat -like outer sole

for increased traction, so you can taunt mortal injury without actually

experiencing it.  Right about now you're probably asking yourself,  " How can

a trail running shoe with an outer sole designed like a goat's hoof help me

avoid compressing my spinal cord into a SLinky on the side of some

unsuspecting conifer,  thereby rendering me a drooling,  misshapen

non-extreme-trail-running husk of my former self,  forced to roam the earth

in a motorized wheelchair with my name, embossed on one of those cute little

licence plates you get at carnivals or state fairs,  fastened to the back?

I've made many phone calls this afternoon to try and find some answers to

this... to speak to someone who could explain how this could have happened

from a company like Nike.... Of course,  he was given the complete

run-around... no one would give him any names of persons of respondsibility

let alone a last name...but they said that they would print a retraction in

BackPacker.... welll...who cares... NIKE needs to be held accountable as

does Wieden and Kennedy (the advertising agency).

They need to be blasted for their unsensativity to all persons let alone the

Disabled.

Listed below are contact information for Nike,  Wieden and Kennedy (Ad

Agency) and BackPacker Magazine..

So .. if you could .. Please write.. tell them how you feel of such an

outrageous ad... WHAT could they have been

thinking......

LENNY: Please keep us posted on your

experience with the Sputnik. Did you

get the standard one or turbo?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I didn't see on their website any listing for a " turbo " model.

If they make one, thats the one I need. Maybe my parasite needs a jolt of 20

volts before he'll let loose.

Lenny

ps tell me how to get the turbo model. The package the sputnik came in has

russian, can't make out one word except Ag on the label. Must mean it is silver

plated for higher conduction.

Lenny, 5 1-gallon enemas in quick succession sounds pretty harsh to me.

I've taken enemas for many years in-

cluding gallon ones, but I try not to

overdo it. If you feel the need for so

much cleansing you ought to consider

getting a colema board.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have a colema board, just not using it. The clear plastic tip somehow

irritates and causes real pain. They need to make a tip like the one in the

faultless enema bag. It isn't so

irritating.

Another reason, the parasites seem to have grown and caused a partial blocking,

I can only seem to hold tight and massage through this blockage by the enema (a

series). The colema board

doesn't wash through it. So for my problem the enemas work more effectively,

until the parasite blockage comes loose, then!!! back to normal.

Lenny,

I have a colema board that I got thinking it would work better for me that an enema bag also. But, I personally get better results using a high enema. I, like you take quite a few in a row and get great results. I have recently adapted my colema board to have better results for me. I woke up with this idea and wrote it down. I think I was solving the problem in a dream. What I have done is to replace the plastic tip from the colema board with tubing that is about a foot long. I use aquarium air tubing. It fits perfectly in the colema board area where the plastic tip used to fit. It is soft and flexible so I and insert it like a high enema. It works great. Might be worth a try for you too. The tubing is cheap. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sputnik.

Thanks Karma,

I will have to get some tubing that will size up and replace that hard

plastic irritating piece.

Need more info to answer/address this question. Have

you had experience with enemas? You refer to 'many

layers of mucoid plaque'...can one infer that you (or

whomever you refer to) do not take enemas and that

this build-up has occurred over time? and, if so, do

you know the underlying cause of the mucous build-up?

Enemas have limited affect in removing layers of mucoid plaque.

Verified by iris exam.

These layers have built up over years unknowingly.

Enzyme and alkaline buffer enemas help but are so far limited in

removing much mucoid plaque.

Search is for effective multi layer elimination of plaque.

I have a similar body type (some of my muscles tend to be bulkier in

appearance even though I'm not incredibly strong (especially biceps,

shoulders, and quads)). For the past few weeks, I've been going to an hour

long stretch class once a week. It seems to be helping and it feels good.

,

I don't think this is a silly question at all. For my son learning

that one carrier phrase can have more than one correct answer has been one of

the more difficult parts of his program. But it's VERY important to be able

to do that. And now he's finally really got it! And we can say things like:

" Tell me a type of animal " " Lion "

" Right, can you tell me another animal? " " Elephant " and if you asked him

again 15 minutes later " Tell me a type of animal " he might say " dog " . We

taught him that by doing tact to intraverbal transfers for many possible

answers to each carrier phrase and then differentially reinforcing *variety*

in his answering. He learned that if he said " dog " every time he got a

" That's right " , but if he said " Hippo " or " Lizard " or something like that he

got " Wow!! That's a great answer!! " and big reinforcement.

Your has learned " something you eat " and " food " are intraverbally linked,

which you reinforced because it's not wrong, of course. He's learned that

one answer leads to reinforcement for that carrier phrase. But you can still

teach him " Tell me something you eat " and " banana " or " pizza " or " apple " by

prompting him with a known-tact flashcard after you've asked the question

(tact to intraverbal transfer). You'll have to be quick to prompt him

before he can answer " food " though and then try to get a transfer trial as

quickly as possible to the new " answer " . Hope this helps.

Barb,

At first I thought the rt. sided weakness might just be a worsening

progression of her disease. As her initial seizures would affect only her

right side. She would lose consciousness, eyes roll to the right and have

trembling on only the right side. Sometimes only the right hand/fingers. That

was before we started Carbatrol. At that time she also had a normal baseline

EEG.

After we started the Carbatrol (about 3 wks after). we began seeing a

progressive weakening of her rt. side which lead to total avoidance of the

use of her rt. side. We would try to place something in her rt. hand and she

would reach to the total opposite side and take it with her left hand

instead. Her seizures also got worse and she began having new atonic seizures

multiple times daily. (Up to 7-8/day) At her worst, she had been on the

Carbatrol for about 6 wks. Between the 3rd and 6th week I'd been

communicating with the Dr's office over the phone and they kept increasing

the Carbatrol, thinking she just wasn't on a therapeutic dose. We then went

back to the hospital for another long term EEG and our Neurologist told us

that the baseline EEG was now abnormal and that, the increased seizure

activity, and the rt. sided weakness were all being induced by the Carbatrol.

He commented jokingly.. " We sure made her worse....did I order that " ? (I

wasn't laughing) He said that there is a small percentage (maybe more, huh)?

of children who will react that way and unfortunately they have no idea of

knowing who that will be in advance.

We quickly weaned the Carbatrol, and titrated up the Keppra over the next 10

days after which time her seizures stopped and the rt. sided weakness

disappeared, so it appears that he was correct. (Although we did also change

her diet and started supplements at the same time.)

Interestingly enough, although she's now walking, talking, no rt. sided

weakness, and seizure-free. She does appear to be left handed. My husband and

I are both rt. handed. I'm sure that's b/c her " seizure center " is in her

left parietal lobe. Your right, it's very interesting stuff...

[Guest guest]

Yes, I don't recall if she was married, but her SO let us know that this happened. I guess they were going on a trip, he said that she died doing what she loved to do, I don't know how much solace that is, but I guess it's some. That must've been when you were very ill. What a shame. -dz-

Good Morning everyone.... ;o I got e-mail from a friend last night and I happened to mention thatI had not heard from Arlene.... ACE as we all knew her. She was in ourgroup....

Dear Meghan,

Your question about the downside of CIs caught my eye. I can't think

of one. Even after 6 years it's startling how completely the world

goes away and my tinnitus comes roaring back when I take it off at

night. I may want to fiddle with my CI programming, but I'm really

profoundly grateful for the CI enabling me to continue in the

life/relationships I formed for 49 years before I became deaf.

Hello--

The below reminds me of a theory I read, suggesting that ADHD is a kind of

sleep deprivation. According to this, people with ADHD have problems with

their sleep, and have problems waking up in the morning. Supposedly, a part

of their brain, that puts brakes on certain behaviors, is half asleep and

can't do the job, so stimulants wake it in order to let it prevent

impulsiveness or distraction.

Possibly that might hint that a protocol to improve sleep might reduce the

ADHD, in such a case.

Also, I have seen kids diagnosed with ADHD who just have a lot of powerful

stuff going on at home. If Mom and Dad are threatening to split up, Dad is

beating Mom, Dad is drinking a lot or Mom is a drug addict, Junior is likely

to act out.

Thanks,

Gene

, I'm no expert on this stuff, but I can't see why taking LDN would

interfere with birth control pills or estrogen, in general. I haven't

gotten a period in two years now, but I'm assuming that women out there

taking LDN are still getting their periods. Dr. Bihari knew I was in

menopause when he prescribed LDN and knew I was taking black cohash, a

natural form of estrogen. Sorry for the delayed response, but I've been

dealing with computer viruses, getting updates, etc.
