Guest guest Posted April 10, 1999 Report Share Posted April 10, 1999 Hi Dr. Barbara: Thank you for this information on hypnosis. How old is your son? It is wonderful that he sees you as such a good resource when he is stressed. I am very interested in your emphasis on staying calm. If there is one thing which I have noticed which really helps it is this and yet it can be almost impossible to achieve during an OCD attack. Do you have any suggestions or tips as to how I can at least seem calm when all hell is breaking loose? We are getting much better at this with practice and any advice on improving this will be invaluable. My son is now 12 and we have been advised to encourage him to develop his own methods rather than referring to mom when things are tough. Some professionals alluded to my being overinvolved and enmeshed and his having separation issues, etc. IN fact I was told not to touch my son lovingly during therapy and to leave him alone in his room and not to rub his back or use other bed time rituals to help him get to sleep. He would toss and turn for hours. A lot of this advice seemed a bit counter-intuitive to me, what do you think Dr. Barbara? Thanks for the plug for Hawaii, we need the promotion and tourism boost. Actually since we live here and my son has some difficult OCD thinking around being here, I will have to substitute his other favorite locations like Boston or California. Thanks for all these tips and the reminder to focus on the positive. That has helped immesurably especially during times when it was so hard to find anything positive going on.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 This is a reply to the message telling us that fluoride can slow down your thyroid. So can HRT....the estrogen part anyway. So can Vitamin C in large doses. I forgot that last week and put myself through a real spin. Pam, I am an O too, 55 years old, overweight. I just started the diet 2 1/2 weeks ago. I'm at the point where if/when I slip, I REALLY feel it. Forgot and had a half cookie. Wheat! Felt the result for 3 days. It's educational. I'll watch out for wheat now. I agree with you that the exercise makes the biggest difference. I already was swimming which was making me feel awful afterward but was strengthening muscles. Discovered my body much rather I do exercise that makes me all hot and sweaty. It must clear out the lymph and make the much overloaded spleen happier. Just got a biycle. Riding that is great for getting hot and sweaty. After a while, I want to take a dancing class. Maybe folk dancing in the dead of winter... or ballroom dancing.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Aikya, Well, this O hates to sweat, but I truly am learning to hate it less. Thanks for the info on Vit C and thyroid. How much does it take to cause a slowdown. I routinely take 1500 mg a day and much much more if I feel a cold coming on, which is only every two or three years.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 1999 Report Share Posted October 16, 1999 Pam, Sorry, I am behind on my e-mails. I have taken 3000 mg. of Vitamin C and had no hypothyroid effect. Just pay attention to your body. If you are taking extra because of a cold coming on (and you know that has helped before), increase the dosage from 1500 mg slowly...as opposed to going from 1500 to 10.000 mg. After the increase seems to have done its thing, decrease slowly back to 1500. Like a good Type O, I have blood clotting irregularities that are corrected by vitamin C. If I increase my dosage, I have to taper off or I begin developing bruises (not caused by injury) and sometimes bleeding here and there. I have to increase the Vitamin C then before any kind of surgery or the doctor or dentist will have to deal with a lot of bleeding and it will continue after the surgery. I have to slowly decrease afterward also or the bruising etc. happens.

Just a stupid stumble carrying a 20# bag of cat food in the dark and not paying attention to where I was walking. I twisted as I went down and just snapped my femur. Surgery the next day and in intensive care for another 24 hrs because my BP went down to 50 over 30 and they couldn't seem to get it up. I questioned the doctor and he just said it was a bloody surgery, femoral artery you know, and not to worry. Two years ago I had to have a bilateral hip replacement. I spoke to the new doctor at great length and told him several times about the BP thing. They took a pint of my blood to use after surgery. They recycle your own blood from the surgery for 24 hrs and then remove the machine and give you your pint back. It took another pint (I hated taking strange blood) and still my BP was about 90 over 50 after a week. Once I got home it got better. But thank goodness I took the Vit C. I don;t have any bruising or tummy problems with it. Thanks for the info. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2000 Report Share Posted January 5, 2000 Hi Toni - Congratulations on completing your website! I think it looks very professional, and I particularly like the " About Us " section. Your customers will, I am sure, enjoy it, too. After all, if people take the time to search for finely made toiletries and candles, then they will be pleased to learn the history behind your business. Often, enthusiasm is difficult to transmit, but you definitely succeeded here. A couple of suggestions you may want to consider: Include an order form for folks who may wish to order via snail mail. (There will always be those souls who prefer to do it the " old fashioned way. " ) Also, I didn't find any reference to shipping and handling charges or tax rate for your state (if any), but maybe I missed it? Also, I think you need to blow your horn a bit more to convey to potential customers why your handcrafted items are better than others, i.e. to " sell " them and convince them that they really need to buy yours over someone else's. Maybe one or two sentences on each product page with some information on special ingredients and benefits. (You did some of this with your bath fizzies). Is one bath product more helpful to aid muscle aches than another? Is one better for sensitive skin? etc. etc. Make it as easy as possible for your reader to decide to purchase from your line. On the whole, you've got a very nice site for yourself. I was impressed with the variety of items that you provide from which to choose and your headings, i.e. " bath exotics, " are excellent. Best of luck with the site. Please keep us informed on how you do!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 Joan: No apologies needed....as long as the comment was made by YOU....LOL...I was upset because I thought Dr. Capone made the remark, and felt it was an " intrusion " on the list for a professional to comment on us parents' reactions and opinions!! It's okay for the parents to vent....we have an excuse.....raising our special kids is a tough and ongoing challenge.....so if we " goof " and say stuff we don't necessarily mean, it's understandable.....as you know, I myself have made many " goofs " here on the list...if only because I am passionate about how I feel for our kids....

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Jolene... The vast majority of spinal patients, at least here in the U.S., do not have a respirator after surgery. If a patient is sick enough to be on a respirator, they have all (or at least most) of their needs taken care of by medical technology. The patients are also medicated so that they are not very aware of what is happening. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 Good post Ken, I too am nearing the end stage time of this disease. I know if I had a chance to clear like the 30 to 50% are doing from meds I would take at least a good first shot at it. It is no fun in the end stages is it? We do not want to scare others and I was totally holistic before diagnosis and was almost cirrhotic even with herbs, which I still use of course as that is where my real heart is. Unfortunately there is not any easy cure here or any cure at all or we would know about it in the holistic and traditional realms. If herbals are not working to decrease at least the inflammation (alt and ast) then we need to find a new regime. I was taught that taking any good thing too long is not the best way to go, but to have one or two alternate plans and use them alternately is actually better for the body. Who knows? I was taught by a network of great underground folks who had success (me) with cancer when all else failed. I was cancer free for over 15 years and now have rising alphafeta protein levels again which are liver markers for carcinoma but I am still here so am not complaining at all. As biopsy is only dangerous mostly in the cirrhosis stages due to bleeding I hope to never discourage others from knowing about the shape the liver is in by either biopsy or endoscopic methods. It is not pleasant that is for sure and it is invasive, but then this virus is nothing to mess around with and an early shot at is is the best time to try, not when you get too old or too advanced. Good luck, are you on the transplant list? I advocate with and for HCV persons and have helped a couple of transplant persons a bit with the help of networking across America. I grow my own herbs and veges organically and have made tinctures for over 25 years. I planted my annual milk thistle and feverfew and Echinacea last weekend. I do not mix any of these with Interferon products except milk thistle. I do not believe in compounds, due to often having too many choices for a diseased system to make, but do them individually as I was taught to get optimum benefit from them individually. I drop my tinctures into just below boiling water levels to get the alcohol out as much as possible and these do not seem to aggravate my liver at all. So far so good. I think that individual based treatment is the way to go as this is such a eco -individual based disease really and is affected by our total life style issues. I used to live in and near orchards at the time when ddt was still used and many other pesticides. Now the studies are showing these residues stay in the body ( I knew that a long time ago as I showed very high levels of DDT in my system when I had cancer in the early 80's) Unfortunately they store in the old liver and are suspect of a cause for cancer with HCV now. Still a controversy but then so was milk thistle and inf at first and I still have feelings on taking noxious drugs of chemo nature but elevated alt and ast are not good. At least it buys us time by decreasing the viral load and thus giving relief to the liver for a while. I find our eating habits are very important and we have terrible eating patterns which are at the soul of who we were and are today from lifestyle once again and unknowing nutritional facts in the past. We can all just do what we are guided to do and help as many along the way as we are able to with our energy levels. Hugs to all and hope you are feeling well today......

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Devin, have you considered making an " all-in-one " type product, that has the active ingredients of both Peptizyde and Zymeprime in one capsule for those who choose to use both? Of course still have them available individually as well. What do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 The Merck Manual on page 822 talks about Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis... " results from poorly functioing white blood cells that allow infections from fungus Candida to develop & persist in infants & young adults.May cause Thrush as well as infections of mouth,scalp,skin , & nails. More common in girls than in boys. Severity varies.Some develop hepatitus & chronic lung disease. Many have endocrine problems such as under active parathyroid glands. Can be treated with nystatin or clotrimazole...or with ketoconazole, or amphoterician B...Although disease is generally incurable, bone marrow transplant was successful in a single case.
