Hey , I've heard pro and con on them.. never used them myself. What specifically is the dr hoping they do for your SO? Is your SO taking super tonic... good natural antibiotic... I would do alot of research on collidal minerals and make your decisiion... there are alot of them out there..

Hi Suzi,

The homeopathic pharmacist is a little german woman, who scrawled on

the box ( " after treatment - for Zest " I believe! LOL. So I think

she's looking to boost his energy. It's been almost a year and the

poor guy still is lethargic and just has no motivation towards

anything. It's hard to get him moving, and he used to be SO active

and so bouncy. He's taking oregano oil when I can get him to do so,

and now a few homeopathics, arnica, lymphomosot, and a couple others

by HEEL.

Heading down to MY natural pharmacy today to see what I can figure

out from the helpful folks there.

Need to get some supertonic going again, haven't had any for a while!

YIPES!

Be well Suzi and take care of yourself!

And what did they do when they diagnosed his mono? Did they proceed to

break his fast and suppress his symptoms? He would have been much better

off continuing with his fast until all symptoms went away by themselves.

Suppressing symptoms only drives the illness deeper into the tissues

making it more difficult to get at next time around and he will probably

have a next time around though it probably won't be diagnosed as mono

but something more drastic.

All the colloidial minerals he will ever need should come from the raw

living foods he should be eating. Most any colloidial minerals one buys

are inorganic. Just because they are colloidial does not mean that the

cells can use them. It only means they are small enough to pass the cell

membrane but if they are not organic this won't occur anyway.

Eat more salads and raw fruits. Eat more greens and vegetables raw.

Has he been checked for the Epstein Bar

virus? Possibly chronic fatigue syndrome hmmmm. Mono can be devastating to

some people. Sometimes it is even fatal. The good news is he is out of

immediate danger, the bad news that it may be a chronic condition has set in OR

it is just gonna take him longer to recover.

Re: Another Question - Colloidal Minerals

Hello Don,

It took 4 doctors and over 10 days for us to finally find someone who

diagnosed him properly. His tonsils were so swollen, that he was

choking on himself at night, and I lay awake waiting for him to stop

breathing. he was in so much pain he'd cry in his sleep, and that's

when he could even GET to sleep. He was running a fever of 104F for

at least 7 days and I couldnt' even get fruit juice and crushed

ice " slushies " into him. I even tried miso soup and clear broth and

couldn't. He was listless and could hardly move. His

throat/tonsils/tongue was so swollen, it was starting to push out of

his mouth and he couldn't talk. Finally, after 3 emergency room

visits, a general practitioner at a walk in clinic did liver

enzyme/function tests and determined he had one of the worst cases of

mono that he had ever seen. (the guy was in his late 60's at

least).

He prescribed him some heavy duty pain killers (morphine

derivatives), and although normally niether of us take medications,

says the only thing that allowed him to continue was the pain

relief. I " ve never seen someone in that much pain before, even after

surgeries etc. There's nothing to do with mono except to wait...but

the lethargy has just stuck with him and I'm trying to figure out

what to do to help him get back to his old self.

I know that you say to fast etc, but god...it was excruciating to

watch him suffer like that and I was afraid he was going to

dehydrate.

So...he still sits with the lingering lethargy. (He works night

shifts on his feet so that doesn't help)

Thanks for your wisdom, support and advice Don, it is ALWAYS

appreciated!

ps. getting fruit and veggies into him is almost impossible. He

likes a few, but not raw. He also will only eat apples and grapes

and bananas. I " m TRYING to introduce more..and juices...but it's a

slow go.

THanks Don, Suzi and Janet for your thoughts -

Don,

He has been eating a lot like I have, although he LOVES meat. He

would eat it and it alone if he could.

We eat a lot of lightly steamed veggies, salmon/tuna/halibut, brown

rice. He won't touch other grains that I eat like quinoa or

millet. HE also likes sweets and fried foods. Ack. I'm TRYING to

slowly change his diet, but when I'm not around, he either eats

crap, or DOESNT eat. He eats like a typical teenager. HE does like

juice and seltzer water, but even getting water into him is tough.

I've been telling him that not eating regularly, and not drinking

enough pure water is detrimental to him, and his body cannot perform

properly, but doesn't seem to make much of a difference. He's a

high performance athlete, or was, so most of his life he survived on

lean chicken and salads and carbs. NOw I think he wants to ignore

all of that.

So. COmplete nutrtion - check. I've got a juicer now too, so i'm

working on some healthy juices, but he is too used to store

purchased juice.. I'm TRYING though.

Supertonic is in the works as well.

Thanks SOOOO much for the support. Sometimes I think I " m fighting

an uphill battle, and I find it difficult to do what I'm doing, with

him on the sidelines mowing down crap.

Thanks!

ps. coffee, sometimes. Maybe 1x a week? Not much at all he's not

really into it. I haven't had a drop of it in over 5 weeks either!

[Guest guest]

Ask him if he wants to go thru that sickness again/ Try fresh apple juice.. he won't go back to store bought. Try couscous (sp).. .he may like that ... try jimaca instead of fries.

Seltzer water, why do we put CO_2 into our bodies when our bodies work

so hard to keep it out? Okay, sugar is a biggie here. Worse than any of

the others stuff he is eating. Fried foods probably comes in second. If

one is going to eat crap then one should expect to feel like crap. Sugar

is a major stressor for the body. Stress is the number one killer of the

adrenals which affect the thyroid and other glands. Listless and tired?

Might be part of the reason right here. The body can only perform to the

extent of the quality of food put into it. The less quality the food the

less optimally the body will perform.

It has been said that gross proteins, fats and carbohydrates are the

food of cancer. The human body does not gross animal protein to survive.

The human body does not need complex carbohydrates to survive. The human

body does not need animal fats to survive. The human body does not

utilize any of these in any efficient manner. Speaking from my own

observations the human body had a most difficult time with attempting to

digest animal flesh, complex carbs and animal fats.

Now the human body does not use protein. The human body uses amino

acids. Why complicate the process? All amino acids used by the human

body are in free form in plants and fruits. They are not bound up into

complex proteins. The human body only uses glucose as its fuel, it does

not use potatoes or spaghetti. These complex carbs are very difficult

for the body to break down even though they are cooked. Why complicate

the issue? Eat fruits and you get pure glucose that needs to breaking

down or converting. All the fats the human body needs can be found in

fruits and veggies. We don't need to attempt to break down toxic animal

flesh for its fats. And to add insult to injury here, we cook this stuff

and make it even less available to the human body.

I know you have heard all of this from me before. Who knows, maybe he

will read it and come to an understanding. Then again maybe he won't.

Number of times through equals certainty. The light bulb turns on for

all of us eventually.

Just keep plugging away . That is all you can do. He has to make

the choice himself. Just do what you can to assist him and don't rag on

him about it. Nature takes her own course and brings us all to

understanding eventually.

Thanks Don,

I appreciate your support and words. He's young, so I guess that I

wasn't all that open at that age either. Perhaps the light bulb will

flip on at some point! Until then, I keep doing the best I can do.

I've gotten some Oil of Oregano into him a bit, and we're working on

better eating habits now. I'm starting to eat fruit again, and am

itching to use my juicer!! I still am eating meat, but not as much

as he, for sure. Currently we have a stock of grain-fed buffalo from

his family, which we cook rare. I figure that's better than grocery-

store beef or chicken. If meat at all.

Best to you, and again, thank you much for the support!!!!

Just keep plugging away . Eventually he will come around. When he

gets really sick and tired of being sick and tired he will make the

necessary changes in diet and lifestyle.

We all do.
