Debbie,

I found this resource for you on Vaccination in France:

I hope it is of help!

Hi Carla and thanks for the link!

My partner is french and not the father of my children, he does not

have any children of his own and has never questioned the issue of

vaccination before - he thinks I'm crazy but I'm slowly informing

him. Anyway he was kind enough to contact the french immunisation

group for me and they were of some help although a bit vague. If I

had been able to speak to them myself I may have received better

information but my french is sadly not good enough yet, so I had to

rely on my partner to make the enquiries!!

So far, I haven't had to produce any documentation for the school,

which is amazing - it seems we have just managed to slip through the

system!! Lets hope it stays that way, our fingers are crossed!!

Thanks again, Deb

Blimey Debbie, Natural guru!

Interesting to hear of people with older children as mine's just a

baby (16ms). She's non immunized as well. Only had one pg scan and

home water birth as well. Also vegetarians, just put a big weird

sign outside our door.

I tend to keep a low vaccine profile and leave it up to people for

themselves but make myself available if they want to know. What i

can never understand is the benefits outweigh the risks theory or

the must vaccinate theory. it seems illogical not to consider

individual circumstances/health or variations dependent on geography

or age etc. if i had vaccinated, I'd at least say yknow, personal

choice and all, or that i could see not everyone was in the same

position/one rule for all etc. It would be ok if it was a minority

but parental freedom is increasingly becoming limited, and

instruction forced directly or emotionally upon us. Makes me angry,

as if we are not concerned paramount with the very issue of health!

It's so sad the avoidance element and as you say rather stupid

considering they feel their children are infact protected!, and to

an extent i worry about such reactions for myself. At the end of

the day though, we shouldn't concern ourselves if we know for

ourselves the right course, that is the most important thing.

Welcome, Debbie. I think you have hit the nail on the head with this statement!

If people start questioning their dr. on the subject of vaccines, then what else

might the dr. be wrong about? Horrors! These infallible creatures might

actually be wrong about something? Sad that people would rather take the chance

of being wrong than to question their dr.

Welcome Laurie,

Congrats on the loss so far and for making it into the 200's.

Tons of people here talk about Sansone. Maybe I should check

her tapes out.

I have been walking more lately because I'm a surprise pedestrian

(broken car), but no formal exercise plan right now.

Again, welcome.

Laurie congrats on making the 200's. How did you celebrate? I love sansone tapes. Keep up the great work.

Welcome Laurie!!!

I recently made the same milestone as you. I'm celebrating by

keeping up my eating plan and stating a more ambicious exercise plan.

Congrats on yours... one of my brothers gave me his step aerobic

tapes and stepper and I am doing the warm-up section on one tape 2

times a day and that's plenty aerobic for me! Plus I'm walking at

least 30 minutes a day.

I recommend you see a dr, if you haven't already, for your achillies.

Others may have some advice.

Again... welcome to the group! This is a great place to come to.

Congrats! When you've been working as hard as any of us have, even something

like this is cause for celebration!

>tried the Sansone 1 mile tape and

> actually finished it on the first try!

Let me add my " me, too " to those who have been praising 's tapes. I

have about 10 of them now, most of them 1 mile in length. My favorite is the

Express one, whre you can finish the one mile 'walk " in about 12 1/2

minutes, but on lazier days I like her Older Adult walk, about 1 1/2 miles

plus some simple weight work, but it takes around a hald hour to do.

>I've been suffering with achilles tendinitis for the last

My note on this came before this one.

I can't answer this, but I can direct you to a group devoted to Kutapressin.

According to what I've read there, most people don't feel worse at first

before improving, but some do.

Hi :

You and I have talked via regular e-mail, but for the others, I'm

Mike 43 yoa in SW Virginia (Salem). Been an Achalasian since I was

13. HM in 1976, due for Ectomy on Sept 14th. Little worried about

that, but I figure it's inevitable so do it now instead of 20-30

years from now when it will be twice as bad (both the condition and

the procedure).

Welcome to the group. It is good to have you here. I wish you the best on your weight loss journey.

Blessings,

New to this group

Hi All...I just joined this group a few days ago. I'm 61 years old and currently weigh 337 lbs. I've tried every diet imaginable and have been using a non diet approach since Feb. 2006. I started at 349lbs. I'm convinced in my heat that non diet is the way to go for me. When I stick with eating when hungry and stopping when satisfied, I tend to lose 1-2 lbs a week. I'm a Christian and am benefiting greatly from Thin Within's approach that brings God into the process. Tis good to find a group of folk who have 100+ lbs to lose and using a variety of approaches.Looking forward to giving and receiving in the days ahead.

Hi and welcome over here (( waving frantically )) - I told Miss about this group over on the TW group the other day - I agree it's refreshing to get new ideas and have support of folks that "are in the same boat"

Welcome . This group is great because everyone pretty much does their "own" thing. The support here is great. Blessed be,

October 3, 2006

Hi , Welcome. Yes you will find many people using all different

approaches to weight loss here. What works for one might not work for

another but what does seem to help us all is to have the extra support here

that maybe alot of us don't have at home. Glad to have you here with us!

This was addressed for my son through a sleep institute. There are tons in

the US. There are like 6 within a half hour of the very rural area where we

live so I don't think it must be too hard to find them. The treatment did

help the circadian rhythm but unfortunately it really hasn't helped him feel

any better.

if she got CFS after a flu-like illness, such as mono, i would strongly suggest

she see dr. a. martin lerner in Michigan and begin appropriate treatment with

antivirals and/or antibiotics.

Hi, I am new to the group and am on here for my sister who has had CFIDS for

about 22 years (since age 16). She has been unble to work for about the last 6

years. She also has fibromyalgia and a host of other diagnoses. Over the last 22

years she has tried many traditional and non-traditional treatments. Recently

she was talking to someone at her insurance company about circadian rhythyms,

who suggested she get her circadian rhythyms checked out. Does anyone know how

she would go about doing this? Are there any doctors in the US (or abroad) who

have treated CFIDS patients in this regard? Any websites we can go to? Any help

you can give me would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you!

Maybe a sleep lab would be the place to start -- I was dx'd w/delayed

sleep phase disorder (or something like that - it was 15 or so years

ago...) and sleep apnea.

Sleep/wake schedules can also be influenced by hormones so that should

probably be checked too..

Hi,

The Fibromyalgia center was a big help. They have several across the US.

Mostly they got me working on the immune system.

To sleep a cup a yogurt and an air cleaner are big helpers.
