--- Hi Beth and Welcome!

It is so good to see someone else from NC (I'm in Durham). One of the

best sites is www.hussman.org. I'm there at least once a week reading

and rereading stuff. I would also suggest www.FitDay.com or

www.DietPower.com to track your food intake. I didn't start doing

that faithfully until about Week 6 and I have seen that it makes a

difference. I am on C1W9D7. Stay with it; this program really works

as long as you work it!

You've got the right attitude. Beginning again has happened to many,

and success can also happen again. BFL never goes out of style.

Glad you introduced yourself and hope to hear more from you. I think

your goal is fairly realistic if you stick to the BFL principles

wholeheartedly. Let us know of your progress. Glad you're here.

Welcome Lelia!

Don't you just love that sore feeling! I'm totally addicted to it. Particularly

after lower body workouts.

This is a great group and you'll find lots of support here.

Newbie Introduction

Hello:

Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I am 39 years old, I've

been married for 20 years in August and am the mother of three, 17,

13 and 4.

I did BFL about a year ago, was VERY successful and lost over 40

pounds. For some insane reason in the past year, I put it all back on

and then some. Why, would someone do something stupid like that? I

wish I could tell you...but here I am starting again. I have a real

goal this time in that I want to lose 50 pounds by my 40th birthday in

March and I don't want to follow in my mother's footsteps and be

worrying about my weight all through my fabulous forties!

I joined a new gym in March (24 hr fitness). I didn't start out doing

BFL though, just working out a couple of hours everyday. I've lost

about 15 pound doing it that way. But haven't lost anything for about

4 weeks. I decided I would go back to BFL this week. Yesterday I did

the lower body weight workout and today I was REALLY sore! But I still

went in and did my 20 minutes of cardio, I think I even hit a level

10. I can barely move...but I feel great! The other way of working

out I never felt anything, now I KNOW it's working.

Sorry to ramble, I hope to get to know you all better.

OOOF I've been there so many times!!! But what is nice to see is that

you've alredy put it behind you and are on track again. That is the

important part.

Sorry to hear about your health concern. I have IBS and I feel

incredibly better if I keep my eating on plan. Hopefully this will

help some of your symptoms also as I've heard PCOS (is that the

correct lingo?) is no fun at all

Hi Kersten and welcome!

From what you described re your son's GI problems and ezcema we had a

very similar situation and it was greatly helped with SCDiet. Have you

tried it at all? If you scroll down messages a page or two there are few

good links re this diet.

Eszema in particular is sign of allergies (actually our son's cleared

completely when we stopped gluten). Stan here always recommends IgG food

allergy test and food elimination in combination with SCD.

Good luck,

we have entered the Early Intervention System receiving ST, OT, DT, and

PT. He is GFCF and has a DAN doc who I am not too impressed with.

Secretin Infusions were attempted once, but DAN doc couldn't get a

vein-and blew three in the hour long process. He also only believes in

homeopathic chelation-whatever that is-he says we are not there yet even

though 's testing came back horrific. has major yeast

problems, ezcema, and bm issues causing open sores. He is verbal, but

chelate. ANY input is greatly appreciated. Should I start giving him my

Hi, --welcome! Don't feel guilty for vaccinating--feel angry that you

were duped. I also did the same, vaccinating my first two then stopping as I

became aware of why my oldest had problems.

Now I know that vaccines are not necessary in order to ensure my children's good

health. In fact, they are dangerous and ineffective. Perhaps you'll come to the

same conclusion as you do your research. Good luck!

There is no good with any vaccines. Vaccines only cause disease, disability and

death.

The members who had polio. If they took polio shots or pills thats why they got

polio.

If they didn't get the shots and got polio, the polio shots would not have

prevented the polio.

As no vaccine can prevent a disease.

Do you believe that your children who got vaxed didn't get a disease because

they were vaxed. If so thats just a conclusion. There is no Doctor in the world

that could prove otherwise.

As far as polio goes I and 40 plus million kids did not get polio shots back in

the 50s and we didn't get polio.

But 200 kids who got the shots were permanently paralized and 10 died. Thats

what I call facts.

Hope you do your homework and make the right decision.

Your children are depending on you. If you leave it to a Doctor and your kids

suffers, the doc will just deny it and you will be left with a boatload of

guilt.

Hi, I am , SAHM to (5/fully vaccinated), Josie

(3/vaccinated to date) and Jayson (7 weeks/has recieved one hep . I

am newly learning about vaccines...that they can have adverse affects,

that there are other options, that we are not told the whole truth

about them, etc. Of course I am outraged (again) that our government

is bought out w/o the true interest of our (our kids) well being and I

am feeling very guilty that my oldest received ALL of them without me

thinking twice. My youngest is due for his 2 month shots in 1.5 weeks

and I am trying to go through each reccommended one to make an educated

decision on getting them or not. He definitely will not get any more

Hep B (I am hating that I let him get the first one at 2 weeks even

though I really didn't think it was necessary). I have also decided

against the Rota. I haven't decided about the DTaP, but he will not

get it this early for sure. I would like to hear good and bad about

Hib, PCV, DTaP and IPV though. I have several family members who had

Polio and had life long effects, so it is hard for me to just not get

it. Do any of you choose some vaccines or alternate schedules? Any

advice or encouragement is very much appreciated!

Welcome!

<<My youngest is due for his 2 month shots in 1.5 weeks and I am trying

to go through each reccommended one to make an educated decision on

getting them or not.>>

I highly recommend reading each of the package inserts

(http://users.adelphia.net/~cdc/index.html), read the description (tells

you how it's made and what is used in making it - chicken eggs,

formaldehyde, MSG, aluminum, anti-freeze, depending on which vaccine it

is), then look for the section on Adverse Reactions - these are the

reactions that the manufacturer will admit are possible if you or your

child receives the vaccine. Of course there are many reactions that

they won't admit, you can look up the vaccines in the VAERS database

(http://vaers.hhs.gov/) for those.

<<He definitely will not get any more Hep B (I am hating that I let him

get the first one at 2 weeks even though I really didn't think it was

necessary). I have also decided against the Rota.>>

Yay!

<<I haven't decided about the DTaP, but he will not get it this early

for sure. I would like to hear good and bad about Hib, PCV, DTaP and IPV

though. I have several family members who had Polio and had life long

effects, so it is hard for me to just not get it. Do any of you choose

some vaccines or alternate schedules? Any advice or encouragement is

very much appreciated!>>

Do you know if your family members who had Polio had received the

vaccine? For the other vaccines, read the package inserts, look up the

diseases on WebMD and look at the usual course of treatment. Most of

the diseases can be treated at home and are not a big deal for a person

with a healthy immune system. I choose not to vaccinate at all.

Good luck and if you have any questions, I'm sure someone here will be

able to answer them. :-)

Hello all. Forgive me because I suspect that this message may be a little longer

than you would like as I am not really sure what is relevant and what isn't.

I'm a 41 year old female who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 14 years

ago. I have been treated with levothyroxine ever since and am currently on a

daily dose of 100 micrograms.

About 6 years ago I was diagnosed with CFS/ME and lost my job because of it 5

years ago. I have been unable to work since.

I have suffered with depression all of my adult life and have been on too many

types of antidepressants than I care to remember but am currently using

venlafaxine. It keeps me stable-ish but below par. The specialist has referred

to my depression as being drug resistant.

I have a whole host of symptoms; brain fog, exhaustion, tight and aching

muscles, severe headaches for which I can find no trigger, pins and

needles/numbness in my fingers when I grip things (carpel tunnel syndrome has

been ruled out). My 'thermostat' seems shot; coming in from outdoors may result

in me feeling far too hot when other people seem fine. Just doing the washing up

can make me sweat so badly that my hair gets wet. Walking at any kind of pace

gives me severe cramp pains on the outside of my ankles. I have been told this

is because my calf muscles have shortened, though been given no explanation as

to why. I tried the stretching exercises prescribed for quite some time but

found that the next day I was back to square one.

I believe that some of these symptoms could be due to untreated hypothyroidism,

but the sweating thing surely isn't. That may be a side effect of the

venlafaxine though. What do you think?

I saw my GP last week for new painkillers for the headaches and tested the water

by saying I may be looking into treating myself with NDT. She seemed willing to

at least monitor me. There is also the possibility that my psychiatrist may be

persuaded to consider T3 treatment. But I am so confused as to what to do next.

Ideally I would like to see a recommended doctor who will look after me properly

as my ability to concentrate and assimilate information is really not what it

once was.

I would so appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance,

Sharon
