Guest guest Posted October 25, 1999 Report Share Posted October 25, 1999 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. " Melyssa R.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 1999 Report Share Posted October 27, 1999 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. " Melyssa R.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 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.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 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. Gr.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 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! ~ Mom to 11 DS and 7 NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 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.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 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? Gwen D. A Question Hi All I need help with info on making my own scnted bath blends...How many drops per etc... Can anyone help?

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 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 UK. 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. Joan Johannesburg South Africa jpearse@...

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 , 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. Regards, Joan Johannesburg South Africajpearse@... a question Hi folks, I am new to your group and have gained much already reading other postings.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 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. Re: a question > > Thank you Traci so much for your help.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Diane Are you making Cold Processed goat's milk soap? If so, they need to dry 2-3 weeks, not days. Put the soap on a screen and air dry for 203 weeks before wrapping. hth Sherry www.herbalsoap-healingcreams.com Natural Care E-books, booklets, spreadsheets, free downloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 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.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 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. linnsmama <mtnmusicmama@...> wrote: So it looks like there is no A board and the ABO board is not very active.

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. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 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!) Judy > > So it looks like there is no A board and the ABO board is not very > active.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 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.
