Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Dear , do you think it's worthwhile to maintain a perfect pH balance in addition to following the 45% protein suggestion? Does it matter to O's who are naturally on the acid side? Dear Cheryl, agree w/ you on those poor starving ones - at least the oats/whatever is keeping them from starving to death... too bad meat + veggies can't reach them,,, but maybe when I send my donations I'll request that addition to their diets or that the $ goes towards farming development.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Hi Arlene, Thanks so much for your post and for telling me your personal experience with the stiffness and the LDN. I will do some more research on this subject as I prepare to initiate my own LDN therapy. Glad to hear your husband is on Armour. It is a good hormone. It has a bit too much T3 for my body chemistry so I add Unithroid for extra T4. Unithroid is the reference drug for the Almighty $ynthroid and is the only synthetic T4 drug that has never had potency or recall issues. If he has an autoimmune Thyroid disease he may find the excess T3 is too much for his system. Most of us Hashi's patients have a bit of a difficult time converting and utilising T3. Have his ND watch his Free T's carefully. And stay away from $ynthroid! That is nasty stuff peddled by a nasty pharmaceutical giant. Yes! I would love to learn more about the BBDiet. Please send me any info you have. I have studied naturopathy and nutrition for nearly 15 yrs now but have not heard of that particular diet. Is it similar to the Eating for your Blood Type diet? I hope your DH has found as much on-line support as you have. If not, tell him that www.thyroid.about.com is an excellent site. also has thyroid forums for each state. I belong to the Washington forum and it has been a blessing to be around others with the same health issues as myself. I am the only ThyCa survivor but not the only one with an Auto Immune disease. Best to you both, Lara Message: 18 Date: Sat, 15 May 2004 12:15:56 -0000 From: " alcha508 " <alcha508@...> Subject: Re: Relax , take a Deep Breath ,then give me a Reply! :-) Lara I have MS and have only been taking LDN for 30 days, so i can't answer a lot of your questions, but I'll try at some. I am stiff when I get up in the morning, but usually stretching/floor exercises help. I am starting to get relief in other areas from the LDN and will continue to take it. I believe it has lifted my general well- being. I do have pain, but I also have a high threshold and don't take anything for it. I believe tho that one of the guys said he's taken Tylenol 3 and it worked for him. I have a codeine based pain prescription but haven't taken it since starting LDN. I think on the low dose naltrexone. org site it's recommended not to take it, but we're all different. I had a lot more numbness/tingling before, but when I started the BBD (Best Bet Diet), my numbness basically subsided, in most cases. If you are interested in finding out about this diet, I can give you some links. Away from the LDN, my husband has a thyroid condition and has for several years. He just saw a doctor who practices natural medicine and has started on Armour Thyroid meds. These are natural and not all doctors prescribe them. He used to take Synthroid or Levothroid. Since starting the Armour, he has felt better than he ever did before on the other meds. I'm sorry I can't answer more, but I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Thanks, Alobar! --- Coconut Oil wrote: Put the bucket up on a counter. Take a sharp knife. A non-flexible blade like a hunting knife is best, but any good kitchen knife will do. Face the bucket. See the little notches all around the rim? Insert the tip of the blade into a notch from the top with the blade facing you. Pull the knife, like a lever. The point of the blade is the fulcrum. The knife edge will cut thru the tab below the notch. NO back & forth sawing should be needed. Just one pull of the lever. Then rotate the bucket, and repeat the lever action on each of the notches around the rim. With bucket still on a sturdy counter, reach over the bucket & gasp the lid so fingertips of one hand are on the flange between 2 of the cut tabs, and the fingertips of your other hand are on the flange adjacent to the fist hand. Pry the lid flange away from the side of the container while lifting up. Wrists are on top of the lid, stabilizing everything. Writing this all down, it sounds much more complicated than it really is. I am an old guy with not a lot of hand strength, and I manage it. By the third bucket, you will be an expert.
