Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Jill Add some coconut and coconut oil to your 'fudge' and myabe some crushed nuts. Can't afford either the hybaric oxygen chamber or the Scharffen Berger brand cocoa powder but have found other brands to give good response I find that SAM-e also helps me with dopamine. mjh " The Basil Book " _http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/_ (http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/) Also, I flood my body with catecholamines, in the form of Scharffen Berger pure cocoa powder. No sugar at all. I melt butter into it. I eat it like fudge. So I may be ramping up precursors to dopamine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Adrienne All cocoa powder is bitter. That's why sugar and fats are added and then it is called chocolate instead of cocoa. I mix my unbranded cocoa powder with cocoa butter and coconut oil, some coconut and nuts. I get my bulk cocoa pwder from www.ameriherb.com mjh " The Basil Book " http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 And, that is why I am probably still alive. I've written often here over the past five or six years about SAM-e's importance to my improvement. Now, if I could only get my brain to work on a deeper level again. Used to do research and could synthesize and make leaps of intuition to good use. By the way, I first learned about coconut oil, cocoa butter and cocoa when I was in the hospital recovering from cowpox for a month. A foreign born doc taught me about them. mjh " The Basil Book " _http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/_ (http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/) SamE is crucial for dopamine synthesis.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hey that's an idea, my coconut oil insteda of butter, would be healthier. Thanx for that idea.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 The reason I get Scharffen Berger is I tolerate it well. Many of the unsweetened cocoa's are dutched or have additives. I cannot tolerate Ghiradelli (sp?). And it is available here in NY...I hadn't looked on the web for cheaper sources. The other reason is that when tested, Scharffen-Berger was one of the top cocoas in terms of healthy flavanoids. There is a lot of good research on cocoa's beneficial effects, including on blood vessels, staving off heart disease etc. > > Adrienne > > All cocoa powder is bitter.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have cocoa butter here, because I was goinig to make my own essential oil capsules (which I have not done. But I should mention that a very nice and potent eucalyptus oil I had, served its purpose in another way. My stupid building, which for 18 months now has been undergoing demolition/construction en route to being ahigh end luxury building, and is now half luxury (marble lobby, chandeliers) and half slum (my hallway is a wreck of hanging wires and half-done construction) seems to have gotten a moth infestation in the basement. I can smell the napthalene whenever they go down there. Somehow a moth or two found its way into my closet and had a field day with my silk camisole...and each night, a new moth appeared, one time a baby moth). Well being chemically sensitive I had to find a natural solution. I smelled all my oils, and decided on the eucalptus--and a google search later revealed this was the right choice for moths. I soaked a cotton ball and left it in the closet for about an hour a day (the smell filled the whole apartment!) I haven't seen another moth since. I don't know if it killed larvae eggs or the moths simply fled. Anyway, I am going to try my extra virgin coconut oil in the powder tomorrow. Why did the doctor mention this combo to you? I wish I would become very rich. I would create a nonprofit and loan out hyperbaric chambers to folks who needed them. > > And, that is why I am probably still alive.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 My friend and I have a home hyperbaric chamber. She has Hep C, and I...who knows what? She was starting to get liver damage and some chirrosis. Her last test was performed a month or so ago. Her viral load has increased dramatically as the chamber isn't good for viruses, BUT...Her liver function test is remarkably better, the damage is reversing, and all this with an increasing viral load. It should be the opposite, and the only difference is the HBOT. We think we're healing her liver with it which is counterintuitive considering how bad the load of virus is getting. This is anecdotal remember, but we're convinced. jill1313 <jenbooks13@...> wrote: I have cocoa butter here, because I was goinig to make my own essential oil capsules (which I have not done.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I know of someone who avoided a liver transplant with hyperbaric (clinic). She should be taking a lot of glutathione, IV, etc, and precursors. Glutathion einhibits hep C. Also AHCC--that mushroom complex product, good for hep c. > > > > And, that is why I am probably still alive.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Frito I had brain fog, it possibly was my first symtom (i.e. I would get into the car and be driving, and completely forget where I was going.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 It is very important ! I have found myself lately in a state of narcolepsy while driving, never, ever had such an experience before, I found myself suddenly in another driver's lane and waking up, it may have only been seconds, however, enough time to die. This was not once but twice on one of my long distance work assignments. I first attributed to leaving my car purposefully in very sunny and hot parking lot, then some of my residual spraying chemicals from the past and present in a more enhanced and activated state causing this frightening mental state. Then I also noticed intermittent memory loss, concentration, listlessness, depression.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I can only relay what I experienced. With all the cleansing, it got really better. But my doc also added egg lecithin specifically to address my issues with brain fog. The amount was 1200 IU capsules, two each up to 2-3 times per day until addressed. I still take 1 capsule per day today. My brain fog resolved after about 3 days of the 2 capsules each 2-3 times per day. What have others here used that they have found successful? Please post, there are so many effective methods that I have run across. Maybe, I'll just have to go back and try and find some of them. Very happy you are getting better.....frito Re: Brain Fog FritoGood idea!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have experienced these very same things. I actually thought or think I have narcolepsy. I'll feel ok and then this overwhelming grogginess comes over me and I could be sitting up and just go to sleep with my eyes open kind of. I go to gas station and pay for gas and drive away without getting it. Yikes. I was just thinking about this when I woke up wondering what is wrong. Also the depression and lethargy is worse than ever. lou From: fritolay66 <fritolay66 (DOT) com>Subject: Re: Re: Brain Fogbird mitesDate: Monday, July 21, 2008, 8:31 PM Hey Z....it has been resolved for some time now.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Thank you Frito, This information is very valuable to me as the brain fog I experience is terrible. It's hard when you have little kids who depend on you. I can't remember where anything is. Hopefully these suggestions will help. I think my biggest problem is that I have not tried any internal cleansing. Thanks again for all of you posts. Blanca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have a friend who has bad brain fog. Today we were out for a walk and she could hardly get a sentence out without struggling to find words. She is a patient of Dr Peatfield's and she is treating her adrenals, thryoid, etc, as best she can considering she has a serious heart condition and has to be careful to balance all her various treatments. My question is: what factors have people found have helped with their brain fog? Is it to do with poor circulation, low blood sugar or what other factors? What has made your brain fog worse, and what has made it better? Thanks, Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks Sheila for your suggestion and for the useful link. I shall send it to my friend for her to read. I don't think it can be for lack of T3 for 2 reasons. Firstly, her blood tests always show high levels of Free T3 compared to the Free T4, so she must be converting OK. Secondly when she first started on Armour she was able to diet and lose 2 1/2 stone without too much trouble, which I think shows the T3 is getting to the cells. She does suffer from very serious low blood sugar problems, so I wonder whether it is related to that? Also, I have just read the webpage you sent a link to. It says vegetarianism can cause high copper, and she is a vegetarian. Miriam > The brain needs both T4 and T3 to make it function.
