Question

December 22, 2007

Joyce, isn't it better to mention you added a file to the group so that everybody know it is in the files? I keep much mails in my inbox but if I know it is mentioned and saved in a file I'll safe space in the mailbox.

As there are much mails on one day, not everybody follows them but a mail with info about an uploaded file can maybe bring more attention to it. Just an idea hé! Joyce and , I really appreciate how much time you spent into the group. Also to the members of the group, exploring a bit the files can give enough solutions to some questions. Just a hint to both sides that everybody needs to put some energy in a group to keep a good balance.

Meanwhile I wish everybody a fine christmas and a happy new year!

Sugar, you did fine. What I want to know is how many people are accessing the files and looking for their selves to see what we have. When you reposted the article on soap, it was in the file already. When she asked for a shampoo, that told me she hadn't even looked in the files. Now, if the files are not being used, why am I going to such an energy/time involved effort to create them? If they are not going to look in them, then I am wasting my valuable time and energy, and I will quit with the files. That's all. So you posting that, actually was good for me. It told me to look closely, am I wasting my time? We will have to see on that. Love you, Joy

hi e,

thank you for the input. It is my pleasure to work

with such a fine group. I look forward to the comments

of our members and the requests of information.

When we upload files, we do tell the group, but if we

have many files we upload, we only send out one

message as to not bombard the group with notification.

With the Christmas holiday upon us, so many of us our

busy visiting friends and relatives, and preparing and

all that fun stuff. It is hard to soak up all the

information at once, that is why the files are an

important reference like a library.

Thank you for being a part of our group, and have a

happy christmas celebration.

Blessings,

Michele

Tommygirl,

You need to increase your intake of minerals when you do foot baths because the good minerals get pulled out along with the bad ones. I don't know of a strict guideline, but what I do is to double my daily intake just on the days I do a foot bath - along with drinking a lot of water.

How often, or long, you will do the foot baths will vary too. . . The Ionic Oasis people say you can do them every 48 hours. . . That may be OK for the first few foot baths, but after that, I would limit them to no more than weekly. As you do them, you should see an improvement in the water color - indicative of how much is being pulled out. As you begin to draw less stuff out, you can increase the interval between foot baths. . . I've been told that it may take as many as 40 foot baths to see a significant difference. Hopefully it won't take that long, but I can see myself doing them for years to come. Regardless of how careful we are, we must deal with a host of environmental chemicals on a daily basis.

If you're interested, check www.ionicoasis.com for info . . . then order the same units from ebay for about half the price. These foot baths are the least expensive and the most durable I've seen. It doesn't have a pretty suitcase, or computer to track your time . . . but it works great!

Hugs,

Rogene

thanks for the information - at this point I am not taking any kind of supplements. I am just not sure where to start. Is there any multi-vitamin that is recommended or is it best to take several specific ones?

Thanks,

Beth,

There are many good supplements. I prefer the Garden of Life brand. You can find a full line, at a discount on www.vitacost.com.

Be sure to read the labels carefully though. If you're sensitive to silicone, you'll want to avoid the forumulations that include silicone dioxide. ly, I don't think you need ALL their supplements. . . The very best is Primal Defense.

Some of the ladies here can recommend products they use. . . Avoid the cheap brands . . . This is one instance where you get what you pay for.

I highly recommend "The Maker's Diet" . . . by Rubin. Rubin is the developer of Garden of Life. The book is much more than a "diet" book. It will help you understand why a healthy diet is essential. Understanding makes the switch much easier. Following the diet to the letter would be tough - but you can ease into it by finding foods you like before giving up all the other stuff. Some of our ladies are going to start following his diet program after the first of the years. You may want to join them.

thanks so much for the link....I also just purchased the makers diet book and plan to try to ease nto it as soon as possible.. I may jump on board with some of the other ladies as soon as I get the book read and understand what it is.....

I also want to make sure I am taking the right supplements while doing my foot bathes....the last thing I want to do is make myself worse because I am not doing something the right way.

Thanks for all your help.....

Love,

Beth

Hi Steph,

I had swollen eyelids but it was pretty minor. It eventually went

away. I believe it is thyroid related (or can be.) I don't remember

how long I had them, but it was sporadic and very unpredictable. I

thought at first it was my eye makeup. Have you tried switching makeup?

That may help in the meantime. But hopefully it will resolve with your

thyroid treatment.

You can take armour thyroid with anything else...no effects (though you

should take it sublingually, or else on an empty stomach). Make sure

you take 3600 mg of caprylic acid a day for 2 weeks minimum, and you

should have that candida under control.

Hi Patty, I'm on 30 mgs of armour. Do you think it's good starting

off on a low dose? Also, do you reccommend any supplements for

adrenal fatigue? So far I haven't been able to find one. Thank you

Steph,

Anytime you are dealing with hormones, it is good to start off on a

low dose and work your way up. You don't want to blast your

endocrine system suddenly with alot of hormones. Give it about 6

weeks or so to settle in. Then you can decide if it is a high enough

dose for you. I am taking 60 mg myself presently, but I've worked my

way there.

Did you read the info about how to take thyroid meds that was

posted? You may want to keep a copy of that and refer to it

occasionally.

For adrenal fatigue, I have a folder in our links section labeled

Adrenal Info, and it has quite a bit of info to help you there. The

question you need to know the answer to is, do you have elevated or

depressed cortisol levels? That answer will only change one

recommendation as far as the supplements go. Otherwise they are all

the same.

Here they are:

Vitamin B5 500 mg three times a day

Vitamin B6 50 mg twice a day

Vitamin C 3000 mg three times a day (I take 500mg every hour)

Vitamin E 800 IU per day

Cayenne 1 cap 3 times per day

Gingeng 1 cap 3 times per day

If you have high cortisol, then you add Phosphorylated Serine, 500 to

1000 mg a day.

If you have low cortisol, then you should take licorice root extract

in the morning and at noon, or bio-identical Cortef (which is Rx only)

If you want to take a single adrenal support supplement, there are

many available at the health food stores, but I don't know of any

specfic one I would recommend. Perhaps those who have taken the

Standard Process brand can recommend one also. I did notice that

many of those supplements contain bovine extracts and tissues, which

gives me just a slight pause, but if it works, then it works!

Only you can be the judge there.

Hope this helps!
