Guest guest Posted July 9, 1999 Report Share Posted July 9, 1999 Hi : There are a several other tick-borne diseases, and babesiosis is one of them. This is a parasitic infection of the red blood cells (a cousin of malaria). How do you know you have it? You have to be tested for it. As to your question about: what are the symptoms? they are similar to Lyme Disease and if you also have Lyme Disease, the symptoms for Babesiosis are not as predominant. If you would like more information, e-mail me at DAKAS@... and I will be more than happy to send you more information! kathie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi Elaine, Great to have you back, but I'm sorry you've had such a rough time. When you're ready, I'd love to hear more about what happened. Thanks for asking about my mom. Her surgery is scheduled for May 13th. I'm heading up on May 9th. She's having both the right hip and knee replaced. She's also moving into a new house on June 1st, which means I'll be coming back from the hospital each evening and and I will be boxing up the contents of her apartment. She's wanted a house for a long time, and needed something single story. I'm glad she found it, but the timing could not be worse. My brother Jeff is going to have to help out, no matter how busy he is. I don't want to end up in bed all summer due to overdoing it during the month I'm in Atlanta with her. The good news, I think, is that she'll only be about a block from Jeff. Hopefully that will translate into her having more help once I head back home. Hope you're doing better! Love and hugs, Carol [ ] Back again My sincere apologies to those of you that so kindly answered my messages and that I did not respond back. I assure you it was not out of not caring. I do appreciate the kind and encouraging messages I received. Unfortunately I've had a very rough time and my trip to UCLA did not go as planned. I will be sharing with all of you my experience in the hope I can spare some of you what I went through. My recuperation was also much slower than I'd anticipated. Meanwhile I am back, I am trying to get caught up on reading my email, and attempting to participate once again. Heidi, how is " Tad " . Is your tummy getting bigger? We'd love to see a picture (or did I miss something and you have posted a picture??). Judi, hope your ankle heals quickly and completely. You've had more than your share of illness and accident. Your grandchildren are beautiful! You have a lovely family. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Know you must love holding the babies and caring for them. It is wonderful you are there to help out so much. Your daughter is extremely fortunate. You and your family are living proof that no matter how heavy our cross gets, the Lord is there to help us through. God bless you all. Carol, how is your mom? Isn't her surgery coming up soon? I'm sorry, I'm not remembering the date. Debs, how are you doing? I hope I haven't missed a post with your update. To everyone, i'm sorry I'm not remembering to ask individually about each of you. It's not from lack of caring, it's from being in a " fog " and the late hour. I know there are posts I want and need to respond to, but will have to go back and re-read. Names are not my strong point and I don't want to write the wrong message to the wrong person and embarrass myself even more. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Glad that you're back, Noreen. I think they're supposed to be teaching compassion to med students now, LOL. If they did in the past, very few who took that class did well. Maybe a few CME courses are in order for those who didn't get it the first time - and we'll do the grading!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Noreen....Reading your post I must confess to anger.....I know many have family members that cant or wont try to understand, but it makes me mad and sad to read how you are treated. I think I would look for the most vivivly colored ear plugs I could find and everytime they started insert them....I am sorry on top of everything else you must also deal with this.....I havent tried Tai Chai, but I do water 3 days a week, and pilates stretching and it does make a difference. There are times when I cant get there, but it does help and you realize how much when you stop. I think Tess had a good suggestion, as any movement routine will help.....Good luck and I hope you post what you decide on and if it helps. My husband has that lovely phrase of morbib obeisity.....hate that phrase....and I tell him it is the person INSIDE we love.....so when they are concentrating on the outside person, remember it is the inside person that is loved......hoping you have better days...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 , Noreen and all, the Patient Partners programme covers in great detail about compassion and it is comforting for me to see these young med students listening to this message. During the class we also talk about function since a doctor rarely mentions it to his patient and it is so important for the patient to tell the doctor what limitations they have and how they cope day to day. Hopefully, with this information the doctor can refer them to an OT or PT and the Arthritis Society for additional help. Noreen, I have had RA for 18 years and if anyone should know what it is all about it should be my better half. However, when discussing my new scooter, he said and I quote " Well if we put out all this money, I hope you use it, suppose the next ortho fixes your ankle? " Some people, and unfortunately, it is usually family members that just don't get it. We just have to keep trying to educate them.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Noreen, Welcome back from lurkland. I've been visiting it myself lately. My house is undergoing renovations and my computer has been getting shuffled. It makes me angry when I hear people placing blame on being overweight. I was skinny when I was DX'ed with RA. I was 5'6 " and only 104 lbs. Congratulations on your weight loss. Try not to let the remarks get to you. They just don't get it. a > Hi, I've been off in lurking land for awhile.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hey Rhonda, It's always good to realize that you atleast know what to do to make yourself feel better. It's a tough battle, but you know how to fight it now, and you know that there is a silver lining. You've done it once, you can do it again, this time even better then before. Good luck to you, not that you need it ;P -B.B. Back Again Hello Everyone, I don't know if there is anyone here that was around when I used to post. I have been gone for a while and now I am back. For a while last Fall and throughout the winter and spring, I did really well on my Candida diet. I was almost symptom free. I lost a lot of excess weight and I felt and looked really good. Sadly, that isn't the case now. I have let the diet slide. I have gained about 20 pounds. I have horrible sinus congestion, a constant sore throat, pain in my ears and rawness inside my mouth. I am cranky and lethargic. Plus, I seem to have no control over my eating. No matter what I wake up telling myself ( " Today will be the day that I turn a new leaf " ...) before too long, I am eating mountains of sugary and starchy treats. Since I started my Candida program last year, I have never returned to eating dairy products or wheat. In fact, I have eliminated all grains containing gluten after a vicious episode in March. After eating only spouted grain and spelt for many months, I decided to have a small piece of white birthday cake at a friend's party I ended up in the Emergency with what the doctors suppose was a celiac incident. I guess, in short, I need the motivation to start my program again. I was quite successful and after the initial die-off, I felt better than I ever have in my life. During that time, I trained a ran my first half-marathon. I am hoping some words of support might help me start this process again. I might go to the health food store today and start taking Fungal Defense again. That seemed to help me before. If you can share any thoughts or words of inspiration, I would appreciate it!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hi Rhonda - and welcome back. I've been hanging around this board for over a year now - that's after battling Candida for 15 years (though at first, no one in my neck of the woods had heard of it - I found a book overseas on Candida Albicans which opened my eyes). After many failures with staying on the program, last fall I decided to " get serious " about eliminating the Candida and I went on the " diet " for five months - and didn't cheat (even at Christmas). And then got a tooth infection and got sick again. This made me rethink the diet. Obviously it wasn't the whole answer. Yes, the diet is good - no sugar, no white flour, yada, yada, does keep my symptoms under control - but the fact is, it isn't a " cure " for what ails you. And you have to stay on the regiman forever in order to feel well. (As you have already found out). I had to ask myself why the Candida was so persistent . In the end, I had to agree with the burgeoning theory that the Candida remains persistent for a reason - it's there to help us cope with toxic overload. So, bottom line, I think you have to take steps to get rid of the toxicity by cleaning up your system - colon, kidneys, liver, lympth - the whole magilla. And that's what I have been working on and I have to say that I am seeing some real progress. So, yes, you can do this again. But do it differently - think of doing some cleanses. Was it g who advised the following? " Develop a plan; Make it happen; Give yourself time; I CAN DO IT!! " And you can do it. Here's to a new day and a new beginning for you. Chuck the cookies and haul out the Stevia. YOU can do it! Cheers - p > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: girlfromns Hello Everyone, > > I am hoping some words of support might help me start this process > again.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Thanks for the kind words everyone. Penny, Asli...you are so correct. The diet is not the ultimate answer for me. I am generally such a solution oriented person, that in any other area of my life, I would be more focused on getting the the root of the issue and solving the problem. Why I have convinced myself that a difficult to maintain food regime is the answer I don't know....maybe the lack of other viable solutions made it seem like the only way. I will look into a few cleanses and do more research. I want to also review the times when I felt best in recent years as well as the times when I felt the worst and see what trends I can pick out. This time of year (mid August to end October) seems to be the worst time of all for me, phycially and emotionally. I need to really look at the big picture and stop beating myself up! Its great to know there is somewhere to turn. Thanks for being there. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diflucan is extremely hard on the liver and your doctor should have tested you before and every month while you are on it. IMO raw garlic, oil of oregano, etc. are more effective than any drugs and won't harm the body. ==>Read the articles on Thrush and Sinus for help with that awful feeling in your mouth. ==>I'm glad you're back Joyce!

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi Nithya, I've been thinking of you lately, wondering how you've been and how school is going (hopefully that doesn't sound too creepy! LOL!). It's nice to see you back here again! Hopefully you will get back into the swing of things with regards to the program. I also had the feeling that my thyroid was 'off' because of my symptoms. I had had several different doctors check it out, but nothing ever showed up. I think the tests aren't necessarily sensitive enough to pick up everything. Bee's program will certainly help with it. Here's an article about thyroid: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/treat19.php Check out the Success Stories, too.

You can get right back on the band-wagon again, but ensure you do not makes changes to your diet too fast. Also go easy with coconut oil, starting at a low amount and only gradually increasing it so your die-off symptoms aren't so bad. > > 1.) Is it ok to use bamboo steamers when steaming veges? I have heard that people, especially yeast sufferers, shouldn't because mold can grow on bamboo steamers. If these arn't a viable option what can we use to steam veges? Are stainless steal steamers ok? +++Bamboo steamers are fine to use. > Also with mold I have heard that we should not at all use tea bags beacsue of possible mold contamination. Is this true? +++No, I don't think tea bags are a problem for mold since you put them in hot to boiling water anyway. > > 2.)Should we get stainless steel reverse osmosis filter rather then a plastic one because of the dangerous chemicals that plastics can release into water? +++I don't believe it is worth the expense and problems to use reverse osmosis filters, unless your water is totally offensive. Reverse osmosis water is totally devoid of minerals, so you have to add minerals to them. I think it is better to " get those minerals " which are natural in tap water and can't possibly be duplicated in mineral drops - so I recommend a charcoal filter like Brita instead. > > 3.)I have heard that large magnetic fields (generated by alarm clocks Tvs etc) are not good for immune depressed people, like people suffering from a yeast infection. Is this true and do electric toothbrushes induce a large magnetic field? +++Yes, that is true, so you should do what you can to move electric appliances away from your bed about 4 feet, i.e. lamp, clock radio, etc. But don't be overly concerned since most people who are successfull on this program haven't removed electromagnetic fields, yet they still get well because " proper nutrients " are much more important. +++However, you should not use an electric toothbrush. <snip> > > 5.) Bee I know that you say we dont need to rotate foods whilst on your diet, but is it ok to eat exactly the same foods everyday for the same meal(ie same breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday of the week. I am asking this beacsue it is just easier for me as a student to stick to and learn how to make one set of staples everyday. +++Yes, it is quite okay to eat the same foods every day, etc.! > > 6.) Also do you think that it would be a good idea to get a air dehumidifier, air ioniser and air filter to get rid of toxins and chemicals? +++They aren't necessary for most candida sufferers; some who get severe reactions to environmental molds, dander, dust mites, etc. may need to. The most important thing for health is " proper nutrients " - my diet plus all supplements, so concentrate on those.
