Mel,

I took my daughter to play groups and traveled with her starting at 6

weeks. What I did was nurse...she stayed home if she did feel up to par

(ie. didn't sleep well due to teething, etc)...during winter I bought

the liquid echinacea (it is by weight) and I would give the drops/her

weight prior to going to the playgroup once a week..(kind of a little

extra support)...then I would give vit. C..Hyland's sells vit. C 25 mg.

tablets(about 50 mg. or so/day if we were going out...of course we live

in CT and it can get cold so I would dress her appropriately. A

naturally oriented doctor also recommended Bee Propolis (this is a

natural antibiotic and what the Queen Bee lives on) I would give her a

couple drops a week....and I increased it as she grew older. The

biggest thing was washing hands and I watched her carefully. If another

child put a toy in their mouths...then I would put it in the sink..that

way the germs would not spread. If the child was over at our house and

they put the toy in their mouth then I would disinfect and rinse well

once the playdate was over. Just some ideas. I think your child will

probably be much healthier than theirs. The only real healthrisk is

with the live vaccines (ie. polio, chickenpox, etc.)...that comes back

to hygiene and not putthing toys in the mouth that was in another childs

mouth.

Wow, thanks for all of the good advice. It all sounds pretty easy and next

visit to the health food store I'll pick up all of this stuff.

Mel,

One thing I really recommend getting is a book called Smart Medicine for

A Healthier Child by Zand et al. (I forgot to mention it...it is a SUPER

resource for the middle of the night cough). It is a GREAT reference

book and goes through each of the diseases (ie. tetanus, whooping cough,

etc) and different methods of treatment and descriptions of the

diseases.

Patti,

Your acquantence should try to use whole foods many of them raw to detoxify

the whole body.

Don't rely on only one ingredient or one therapy even to do the " trick " -it

ain't a trick.

It may

even be the optimal treatment. Over 50 Years ago Dr. Max Gerson,MD proposed

a

treatment for cancer, with a central element being reliance on fresh organic

fruit and

vegetables juices. The scientific medical literature contains many studies

confirming the

benefits of whole fresh foods benefiting populations who consume them in

larger amounts.

Recent studies in the Medical literature include " Nutritional Factors in

etiology of brain

tumors-potential role of N-Nitrosamines,fat and cholesterol " in the American

Journal of

Epidemiology,1997,Nov 15;146(10):832-41. They found almost double the risk

among

people who had a high protein intake, half the cancer with low sodium

intake. Increased

fat and cholesterol was correlated with higher rates of glioma, but not

significantly related

to meningiomas. Some studies of individual vitamins and supplements

sometimes lack

the benefit of the whole food. Our present state of technology does not

really know all the

chemicals that nature has endowed with cancer preventing powers. You are

better off

concentrating on the whole fresh fruit and vegetable juices.

If you are a cancer patient I would only eat organically produced foods. No

foods from

cans, jars etc.Lest you think I am going overboard see the International

Journal of

Cancer,1993,Feb 20;53(4):561-5. Processed meat significantly increased the

risk of

glioma.They no longer have the live enzymes that your body needs. I have

attended

meetings of a roomful of people at the HEAL group in New York City who state

that they

have overcome terminal diseases such as cancer and AIDS just from eating a

Raw food

diet. The doctors and scientists will say this is anecdotal and I don't know

who tried it and

failed. They have a technical point. But patients are not interested in

keeping score of

scientific debates.

If you want more information on this and other alternatives look up the

website of

Null the health broadcaster and nutritionist: www.garynull.com

HEAL can be reached at tel.# 212-873-0780 or you can write to PO Box

1103,Old

Chelsea Station,New York,NY 10113

The Coalition for Health ucation which has a similar outlook can be

reached at

212-722-7901. They meet at Planet Health,319 E. 9th Street,New York,NY

10003.

The only thing I can say is that if I had Cancer I would surly try this

approach. You can

also try more than one therapy at a time. I doubt that this would interfere

with

antineoplastons or chemotherapy etc.

If you want to be on my Email distribution list, just let me know what part

of the country you live in.

Good luck and don't get discouraged by negative people. YOU

CAN DO IT!

I'm guessing, but they're probably not getting through because only list

members can post to the list, and since the " from " address wouldn't register

as a member, the post would be rejected. Try putting your own email address

in the 'from' and see what happens.

If all else fails, send the card to yourself, then forward that message to

the list.

Moonbeam,

I don't want to attack you. I don't want to blame (bullying) you. I wanted

to write your protocol at my website, but I wanted also to write who is

behind this protocol. I mean when a doctor writes these things it has a

greater 'impact' to people than when I, a non-medical specialised person,

writes things. Maybe that 's not honest but it is the reality I'm afraid.

That's why I wanted to know who is behind Moonbeam. Because I thought you

were a medical specialist or doctor or something like that, but if you are

not is no problem for me and I think your research etc. in this group is

still valuable. But no problem if you want to stay anonymous. You will have

your reasons for that. (this is not cynical meant but just a fact, I can

understand why somebody want to stay anonymous)

I've made the choice not to stay anonymous. That's why I've made the

documentary and that's why I started the website. I felt the need to share

my experiences and the experiences of other people because I think they

could help others in their fight against cancer.

I don't collect or earn money with my website, I earn my living with making

documentaries and video films for educational purpose. I'm independent and

have no connections with other organsiations or companies.

For the rest you can take a look at my website (with a picture) where you

can read my whole story from the last six years about my cancer and how I

cured till today. My website is just nine months online but already now one

of the most visited cancersites of the Netherlands. Funny that the quakers

in the Netherlands try all the time to put me in the box of the

quakermovement and alternatives and you think I'm a member of them. Moonbeam

I'm no member of any organisation, I'm just a happy human being who cured

with a lot of luck and a special intergrated treatment from an inoperable

and incurable cancer.

Finally I must say it feels quite uncomfortable that all I ask you or what I

try to make clearer in what you say that you feel my words and questions as

an attack. Also the words you use and what I feel behind those words feel

quite uncomfortable I must say (but maybe my feelings are wrong). I don't

know why you get so easy angry to me but I will not ask you questions any

longer if that gives you more peace in life.

Sue,

for years I pulled out my hair with amanda and math. If I held up five

fingers and asked her how many, she would have to count them all. She always

needed to start from the beginning of a problem and that takes forever.

Well she is now in 5th grade and MULTIPLYING 2 digit numbers!!!!!!! She is

using her little fingers to skip count and doing great. We teach her some

tricks (like the nines) and sometimes she needs the visual like drawing a pic

or using some manipulatives.

All in all this is what I can say about math - it just happened!!!! All

these years always starting at the beginning - one, and now you should see

her go. So is also calculator trained and not very dependent on it. Usually

she just wants to check herself on the calculator. She still has trouble

with time and money, but is getting much better and knows hour and 1/2 hour

no problem. She can also count all her $$$$ (and she's got plenty) by

twenties, then tens, fives and ones.

well I know this isnt going to help much, maybe just patience and repetition

is the answer, because i dont know how it happened!

Hep c affects the joints and muscles, joint pain can also be caused by a condition called cryoglobuline- this is caused by antibodies attaching themselves to the hep c virus.Tell his Dr. because they may want to test him for this because it can also cause problems with blood vessels.

Are you using fragrance oils or essential oils and are you adding these

undiluted to your bath or have they already been diluted with a carrier oil.

You should take care in how much you add but more information is needed on

your blend and what it contains because there are some essential oils that

you need to be more careful with than others because they may be skin

irritants or photosensitizers etc. I think you can over do the fragrance

oils too due to the chemicals used so care needs to be taken there too.

Is this what you were asking or are you asking how to make a blend?

I also have this food POUCH(As my doctor called it)The only thing that helped me before surgery was to let food build up and then GULP diet coke really fast and it pushed the food down.

As for pain medication I use a product called MELTLETS(These are made by a company called CROOKES HEALTHCARE LTD)They melt on the tongue and taste quite nice to be honest.

All the best

a question

Hi folks,

I am new to your group and have gained much already reading other postings. I have only been aware of my diagnosis for about 15 months and have gone through a depression stage and am now finally coming to terms with it.

Two questions. Are there many of you who have a oesophageal diverticulum [ a bulge out of the oesophagus like a bubble] I have one about in the middle and it seems to complicate my life even more. I certainly can't use water to help get food down. The water gets to about half way and then shoots right back. I don't know it this has anything to do with the diverticulum, but it is a real problem as I can now eat less and less with out choking. I seem to taste some foods for ages.

How do others cope with medication -- pills in particular.? I have very high blood pressure and am on 3 different types of medication. A small pill, one larger and a capsule. I also have bad arthritis and must at times have pain pills - those are big tablets which seem to carve a track down. I have found that if I cover the pills/ capsules with milk free margarine [i'm allergic to milk] then it does help, but not all the time. Some capsules one can open and sprinkle the contents onto food, but with others the stuff tastes so awful you can't swallow it. Then some pills/capsules are that way because the contents is irritating and should only be dissolved in the stomach.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. What operation did you have? Did they repair the "Pouch' or just slit the oesophageal sphincter (myotomy) to make it open wider? I Have had the myotomy but they did not repair the diverticulum (Pouch). I am now having more problems 14 months down the line than before. I cannot gulp water or coke or any liquid and battle to swallow small quantities. It just comes up again.

I shall look out for Meltlets.

I also have bad arthritis and must at times have pain pills - those are big tablets which seem to carve a track down. I have found that if I cover the pills/ capsules with milk free margarine [i'm allergic to milk] then it does help, but not all the time. Some capsules one can open and sprinkle the contents onto food, but with others the stuff tastes so awful you can't swallow it. Then some pills/capsules are that way because the contents is irritating and should only be dissolved in the stomach.

Thanks for your help.

It is the essential ingredient that makes them fizz, and I think

we've decided that the best way to get it is to order it:

Thank you Traci so much for your help. I hated to sound like a dummy

but the only way you find out answers is to ask the questions. *smile*

No problem. Stick around for a few days, and then you can get the next one

;) Oh, and I forgot to add: fruit fresh is not the same thing as citric

acid.

Glad the list and all here have helped you.

Start with my webpages

http://www.nccn.net/~wwithin/vaccine.htm

Mercury links there

HIB links there

Very rare HIB in breastfed babies.

It is way overhyped with the rest. I, as a peds nurse, never saw it.

Everybody is different. If everyone is happy and healthy, I'd leave well

enough alone. They'll sleep longer when they need to.

I would say it is not worth obsessing about 1 hour of sleep. Quality of sleep

and waking up rested is what is important.

Remember, the books are guidelines. Everyone will have individual variations.

My question is about sleep. LR4YT says A's need a minimum of 8 hours

of sleep, but my DH is incapable of sleeping more than 7. My MIL (an

AB) only sleeps about 6 and our children seem to have inherited this

trait. Our 5yo only sleeps 9 hours and the 2yo sleeps 10, naps

included.

I agree, we are all different. When I am feeling my best, I only

sleep about 6.5 to 7 hours a day.

(The A board is a sorry business. There was quite an active one for

a while, but it deteriorated after some sort of spat. There was

periodic activity, but one day it just disappeared. I wrote to

, but got back some form letter!)

more often than not, that time for me is in the evening. i literally decide to go to bed. our bedroom is off the dining area -- next to the kitchen. i have been known to go to our bedroom and close the door and go to bed. we do have a tv in there -- so i get comfy and watch tv. but that closed door really helps.
