He goes back to college, hopefully, the end of August, he has been out almost 2 years and we feel with the Lamictal he is taking , he is ready to try again.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 , This is the fight I had with the Behavior Specialist who insisted that knows exactly what he's doing and has everyone fooled. When he was diagnosed with Autism, I told the guy " Had you fooled too huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " What a jerk he was. This was the guy who told us he NO sensory issues either as he freaked out when the school bells rang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Margaret, My prayers are with you. My step son had juvenile diabetes and it's not fun. There has been a lot of medical progress with diabetes though and there are alot of new methods that make it easier to take injections and test blood. There coming out with a stickless way soon. There is also the insulin pump that only needs to be changed every three days to avoid taking shots every day. There are alot of new options, and new things coming out every year.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2001 Report Share Posted November 30, 2001 , I'm thinking of starting enzymes for my 23 month old son. Can you please send me the files that i will need to know proper dosing and what each enzyme breaks down. Also i would be interested in the magnesium, Epsom salts and if you have a file on taurine. My son does get sandy stools at times and usually his epilepsy acts up at the same time. > [ ] Digest Number 491 > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 RBD and expeller pressed co are totally different from each other. RBD uses chemical to remove color, taste and odor. Expeller just sort uses high heat 400F on copra to get the oil out. I don't believe they use chemicals. Re: Digest Number 489 Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 19:41:21 +1100 RBD oil oten goes through a long process to get to the mills where it is produced into copra, I have seen photos of copra in Fiji out in the hot and humid tropical air, covered in mould. This is part of the reason it has to be Refined, Bleached and Deoderized. If you saw it in this form you would think twice before eating it. Below is a description of the copra problem from www.kokonutpacific.com.au. It not only describes what copra goes through, but the affect it has had on Island communities. The copra problem Conventional coconut oil comes from dried coconut flesh, called copra. Copra is dried in a wood-fuelled kiln, or in the sun, over a period of a few days. It is time-consuming, dirty, lonely, arduous, fuel-intensive and low-paying work. Many farmers consider it a form of slavery. Copra is bulked up at an export port and shipped to a large industrial oil mill - often in Europe or Asia. Unhygienic drying, humid tropical conditions, bulk shipping and long distances, result in lengthy delays and the growth of moulds on the copra. Sometimes this leads to aflatoxin contamination. Copra oil extraction requires large-scale, high-pressure, expensive, energy-intensive equipment. Unhygienic copra means that the resultant oil is normally of low quality with a Free Fatty Acid (FFA) level of 3% or more. (FFA is one measure of rancidity of oil). Thus copra oil requires refining, bleaching and deodorising (RBD) to create a commercially acceptable product. The refining process uses hydrochloric acid, solvents and steam to strip out the contamination. Some residual solvents remain in the oil. The process also removes the natural volatiles and anti-oxidants that give pure coconut oil its unique flavour and aroma. The total process from farm to refined oil can take many months. The residual copra-meal is only suitable as animal feed but, even here, care is required because it can be contaminated with carcinogenic aflatoxins. The tropical world has over one billion coconut palms, producing over 50 billion coconuts each year. And yet, because of the low income earned on the world market from coconut products, many coconut groves are run down, with nuts and old trees lying where they fall, encouraging plant disease and insect pests. With fluctuating copra prices, farmers only harvest their nuts when prices are high or when they are in desperate need of cash. For many remote islands with plenty of coconuts, copra is still a risky venture because of the infrequency of shipping services Something to think about, Ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Diane I am a little confused about what you are trying to say here. I had a look at the T.T site. What they are selling is Expeller Oil and is not the same thing that is generally referred to as RBD oil produced from Copra. They also clarify the difference between RBD oil and their Expeller Oil on their site.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Sorry Ian, I thought people were mixing this up as being the same. There is a way to get non smelling and non tasting coconut oil and with the Expeller one we have it. I just wanted to let others know.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Hello group--I've been quietly watching and monitoring messages since meeting Will at the Slow Foods Benefit for Shephard's Choice last winter. Occasional messages about fish prompt me to bump it to the next level, so I'm writing to the group. Our website has been posted on the trad. foods site since January, I think. We offer the freshest fish available, and do it every week year round. Many of you prob. have seen our products at numerous local coops. Corporate buying policies have nixed us from outlets at Lunds and Byerlys where we were well represented for 15 years. I'm not sure the best way to interface with the group and get products to you, but would love to get something going -- esp. after the vicious kick from Lund Food Holdings. We catch and process fish Monday and Thursdays, for delivery into town Tues. and Fri. each week. Except holidays. We do fresh dressed, filleted, and smoked Rainbow Trout, and also smoke wild salmon. We don't do a retail route, as that'd be impossible, but have a low minimum (10#, 15 to outlying areas) in case people can put together collective orders, or work out a drop site for several members. Our prices are $4 for dressed whole fish; $5 for head and tail on filets; $5.60 for headless trimmed fillets; $7.35 for whole smoked (!! recommended); and $8.95 for smokedheadless filets. Smoked salmon is $10. We are also open Weds and weekends for fishing, picnicing and to purchase fresh fish. Check out our website at www.starprairietrout.com! Thanks, & let me know ideas about distribution.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Perfectionism: Well let's call it a survey. My answer is yes, at least that's what my boss tells me. EVERYTHING in my house is organized: Music CDs in alphabetical order (but doesn't everyone do this?) but I have 3 walk in closets, each organized their own special way: One for biz clothes, One for Shirts, Summer PJs and Lingerie (yes, I hang all my panties and bras), the other for Shorts/Skorts/Skirts, Slacks, Winter PJs, and work our cothes. Then of course each category is organized by style, then each style organized by color (ROY G. BV... the rainbow). I have 6 sock drawers again organized by color and style. Right now I'm working so much that my coffee table is covered in clutter as is my dining table. Makes me NUTS! Recently some of the guys at work were giving me a problem for not having projects done (Demanding Job, other companies hire a MINIMUM of 3 full time people to do what I do). I said look, you know I don't have time! I'm one person and I can't clone myself. You will always be able to tell my work load by the cleanliness of my office. I still haven't unpacked from our move 18 months ago. You all know it drives me crazy and I like stuff in it's place, so obviously I don't have enough time. I do believe the next time they harrass me, I'll have to make a reference to Monk (yes, love that show!). While all PWCs seem to have FMS, I don't know how many of you have CFIDS, but one thing is for sure, this is not an illness for the meek. You have to be one heck of fighter and very disciplined to get well and stay well. The one thing that really PISSES me off is that I have this illness. Hear me out, this isn't about narcisim. We all know there are people that really are just lazy and have no drive. There are people living off family/welfare/etc. by choice, not necessity. I truly understand there are a lot of different reasons for this and many times these people are victims, so I want to show them some respect and acknowledge that some people are truly victims of circumstance, but as for the others who wouldn't work no matter what opportunities they were given, they are proof life isn't fair. Why on earth can't they be cursed with this friggin illness? They don't want to do anything anyway. I'm so driven I have to force myself to leave work, force myself to go to bed, force myself to try to just sit and relax in front of the TV without logging into the office from my laptop to do more work. I guess my point is that for the Perfectionist, having CFIDS is about the closest thing to hell on earth I can imagine (next to flying Palmetto Bugs... a phobia I'm trying to overcome) I would think it's the same for any Perfectionist who has any illness that it literally disabling. Well I guess the silver lining is that I really thinkj it takes a perfectionist to beat this thing. There are so many things we HAVE to do vs. others who just SHOULD do, e.g. Alkaline Diets, Plenty of Sun, Exercise, Rest... you know... the work to live a healthy life, while everyone around us can abuse the heck out of their bodies and still be able to get out of bed every morning. That said, I'm not so sure that non-perfectionists participate as much in taking responsibility for their own health.... so it's probably less likely they'll be doing all the online work like others. Some people just accept it and sit there and wait for the " magic pill " so I think it's less likely they'll ever network with others, so we're not likely to hear from them... making this little poll a bit skewed. Okay, so I'll never see everyone's reply (no time), but I bet it will be interesting to see all the other Monks out there and everyone's quirky storieds! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
