HELP!!

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I had a long-time recurring athletes foot problem. It got cured with VCO in a

week. I applied liberal amount on it morning and evening. As maintenance, I

apply VCO on my feet 1 to 2 times a week in the morning before I wear shoes.

This problem completely gone for more than 2 years now.

I make sure after washing my feet or shower that I use a hair dryer to

make sure they are really dry,esp during the 'season' of summer. BUT

not too hot as this makes your feet sweat again. So Low heat about a

400mm away so that its just above body temp. then VCO,but only a small

amount. But thats if there are signs of a problem.For 9 months of the

year,no problem,but if i dont dry them properly during the humidity,Im

in serious trouble. I wear sandals as much as possible as well.

[Guest guest]

, Is it possible that you need a fill? Also, remember, plateaus are very normal. All of us have them multiple times. Some will last longer than others. Since you have lost so much already, your body may have grown accustomed to the new eating habits you have established as well as the routine exercise you do. If you haven't already done it, perhaps it is time to re-evalute those areas too to sort of "trick" your body into that weight loss mode again. Cut back on what you are eating and crank up your exercise to a more stringent level. We constantly have to increase our exercise if we want to get more out of it. I don't know if all of this will work but this is basically what I find that I have to do.

OMG you are cruisin on your weight loss! Wow you have lost

104 lbs in 10months and I see that you are in onederland!!! I am so

freakin excited for you, and congrats on your accomplishment!!!. It

almost seems like a record!! :-) Give your body some time to adjust,

it is probably totally readjusting. Someone told me that when you

loose that much weight that even your organs have to reposition to

where to were supposed to be. I am just so proud of you, I cant

believe it!! :-)

I was just on a 4 week plateau, and I was so frustrated. I was

working out really super hard and watching what I was eating. And

finally my body gave way of pounds after not loosing for a month. It

was so frustrating! But I was loosing inches, because my clothes are

all huge on me. And then boom, I lost 10lbs. So, hang in there your

body will release again!! :-) Just keep watching those cals and

working out. I even took a week off of working out and I still

lost. I was talking to a jenny Craig consultant (one of my clients)

and she said that you have to do something to " shock " the body. and

for me after working out like a maniac, I think not working out for a

week shocked my body.? I dont know what else to tell you, because I

Just went through it myself and I was banging my head on the wall

trying to figure out when I would loose again!!!! But I eventually

did.

Do you have recent pics of you, cuz I want some pics!! :-)

take care and keep us posted, especially if you find any new secrets

about breaking plateaus!! :-)

hugs,

And again, I am so proud of you!!! :-)

HI . :-) I would love to go the bash this year. I missed it

last year. I did get a fill at the bash fill special and I got to

see Nina and some of the other bandsters. It was so great to see

them! and it is really amazing how much Nina is like family. When I

saw her it was like I had known her forever. That is what the Dr. A

family is like, they are like family in my eyes!! :-) So, this year

I would really love to go!! :-)

Oh so sorry, dear Heidi,

Look I do really think you should go yo the emergency room URGENTLY and get

checked out. It sounds like some acute brain inflammation, kind of encephalitis

type picture?? A bit like can happen in Lyme disease rarely. It might be the

autoimmune process flaring, viral ,like herpes simplex or a drug effect or

interaction. Are you on a biologic? The hallucinations particularly should be

taken as sign of brain irritation unless proven otherwise

Think you were the one with another frightening symptom about a week back

suggesting nerve inflammation. Do PLEASE get checked out and get better.

Kind thoughts are with you and your caring husband,

#1?I do not think they can tell if your baby is going to die, just by?looking at

one ultrasound.??Sounds like they really didn't know anything at first, then you

say they think it will be dwarf.????I would not give up hope!!!? They may just

be looking at a healthy dwarf baby!!!? I know a couple who was told their baby

would be double dominant and not survive ...Today, she is a successful high

school student....

#2 If you are a little person (?) you would probably need to have a

C-section....

#3)? I would definitely refer to the websites that were mentioned in the prior

e-mails...I'm sure you will find some very helpful information...If your doctor

is willing to share your history?he has on you and your baby, with an LP

specialist, that would be good too!!

Good Luck!

Hi Jess. Welcome to our group. Your cravings are very common for all candida

sufferers, since candida feeds off of sugars/carbs which makes you crave them.

We all understand what you are going through.

<snip>

> Anyhow up until the beginning of this year I was really fit (going to the gym

nearly every day) and felt great. Now I am constantly tired (I can barely get

out of bed), I get muscle cramps, My joints ache, I have acne (which I didn't

even have as a teenager), itchy feet and skin (like I have bugs crawling

underneath my skin), terrible night sweats, gas, bloating... the list of my

symptoms goes on. I can pretty much tick off nearly every one on the Candida

checklist. But worst of all I am severely depressed and for no reason. I feel

like I don't want to leave my room and have even had suicidal thoughts. I really

need to get out of this dark hole that I'm in.

+++You can get out of the dark hole you are in by doing my candida program (diet

plus supplements), which provide your body with what it needs to build up your

immune system, which is he only way candida is cured.

>

> I had never heard of Candida before and only came passed it a few days ago

when I started researching my symptoms. I have blood tests booked in a couple

days to check other possibilities but from all my research this Candida thing

seems the most likely culprit.

+++There are no tests that can confirm the presence of candida - see this

article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro3.php

>Since I've read that western doctors don't support the Candida diagnoses who do

I go to for help with finding the appropriate medicines?

+++There is no one that has success treating candida like this program, because

doctors, nutritionists, naturopaths and other holistic practitioners believe you

can cure candida by killing it off, but it doesn't work that way. Like I said

above, candida is only cured by building up the immune system, mainly with

proper nutrients (my diet plus supplements).

>

> I know the main part of this treatment is diet. And I plan to start it

tomorrow. But like I said my sugar cravings are extremely intense and I know the

detox is going to be very difficult. Is there anything I can take to help with

[Guest guest]

You sound just like me!!! I'm so sorry you're going through all of this. It's

an extremely difficult battle!! You can win, though!

Start slow....don't cut everything out of your diet all at once. That almost

never works. Start out slowly, first losing grains, then sugar, then cheese,

then nuts, etc...go at your own pace! It isn't a race...you'll get there when

you get there.

Every time you find yourself wanting to eat something you shouldn't, ask

yourself if this is a healthy food? Is this going to make you feel good or

bad?? Then tell yourself it's just food and think about how much better you'll

feel about yourself when you treat your body well but eating something GOOD for

you.

I cannot stress enough how important coconut oil is in your diet! I have a

smoothie for breakfast five times a week and it really helps curb those cravings

early in the day! I make my egg smoothie with alcohol free coffee and vanilla

extract. Tastes a lot like a vanilla latte. There are ways to make things

taste good without eating those over processed foods we crave, but are toxic to

our bodies!!

I completely understand the anxiety you have around food. Because this diet is

so strict, one almost acquires anxiety like one with an eating disorder.... " this

food is off limits! If I have one little piece I cannot contain myself and eat

the entire container! " Right...? You must center yourself and get over your

fear of losing control around food. Remember, you are in control of your life!

You can make conscious decisions to become healthy! You'll find that you have

so much inner strength. Much more than you've ever imagined. Just remember to

breathe! I used to think of Candida like an enemy and I hated it, which in turn

made me hate myself. I've recently decided to befriend it and actually have

compassion towards it...thinking about it as a living organism which is

struggling to survive. I am sad that I have to kill it, but that's the way of

the world. I know that sounds completely crazy, but it's actually worked!!

I've managed to make peace with myself and in return my body is responding much

more to treatment! You CAN do it!

As far as finding a doctor, good luck....I've yet to see a doctor who believes

in Candidiasis. I've been waiting to see a local holistic doctor since October

and FINALLY got an appointment to see her in mid July. I'm lucky enough to live

in Northern California where people lean towards alternative healing. Ask

people in your area...anybody you know. If you work in a public place, ask your

customers.

You are not alone. Don't forget that! We're all here to help! Giving up won't

solve anything. Just means you've lost the battle.

Stay strong! Good luck! I wish you the very best.

Weclome Mel...

The school needs to be better at watching for and curbing any instances of

bullying. Lots of times staff are not too aware of ASD issues and advocating

effectively with intervention. Maybe start with them and finding out if they are

open to educating all the students as a whole on differences and acceptance of

others unconditionally.

Best wishes and maybe someone else can chime in with other responses.

Hi Krista,

That is a great book! If you read through pages 126-140, it talks a lot about

" Adjustment, Side-Effects, and Troubleshooting " . The subheading " How Can I Tell

if This Reaction Is Good " can be found on page 139. Have you tried Enzymedica's

Virastop? I can send you some information and samples if you would like. Feel

free to ask me any questions.

a week and 1/2 of good behavior and then one day (after eating both gluten and

dairy -- coincidence or not??) he just goes back to being oppositional. I'm

keeping a food and behavior diary but I don't know how everyone else seems to be

I am so freaked out after 3 mos on Tasigna my hair is falling out!!!!!!!!!! I

noticed that the hair on my legs and under arms was not growing. My hair is

fairly long, my thinking is, if its not growing and falling out, I am going to

be bald. I am having nightmares about this. Did this happen to anyone else?? I

also have a very itchy head. I am on 800 mg a day and I think it is too strong

for me. I have told my Onc that when my BCR/ABL tests come back on Tues if I am

at zero I intend to go down on this dosage he indicated that he didnt agree....

hm we will see. I was not yet on zero after 3 yrs on Gleevec hence the change

(I know you dont agree with this Zavie) but my QOL was fairly poor too. My QOL

is so improved although there have been ups and downs over these last 3 mos my

fatigue level is much better.

I also have sore eyes that are quite often yellowish. Should I have some sort

of test done to test my levels of absorption (Lottie question).

also have a very itchy head. I am on 800 mg a day and I think it is too strong

for me. I have told my Onc that when my BCR/ABL tests come back on Tues if I am

at zero I intend to go down on this dosage he indicated that he didnt agree....

hm we will see. I was not yet on zero after 3 yrs on Gleevec hence the change

(I know you dont agree with this Zavie) but my QOL was fairly poor too. My QOL

is so improved although there have been ups and downs over these last 3 mos my

fatigue level is much better.

I also have sore eyes that are quite often yellowish. Should I have some sort

of test done to test my levels of absorption (Lottie question).

Love to all

Hello, I have been on Tasigna a year now, and have had my share of side effects.

I have noticed in the last 3 months losing loads of strands of hair at a time,

thinning, and now hair totally stopped growing. I am 47, but losing your hair

like this is very upsetting. I have always tried to take good care of my hair,

and if we were on IV chemo this would be expected (also hard to deal with, I'm

sure). I just starting to take vitamins for my hair, but haven't noticed a

change yet. I baby my hair now. Use no more tangles and only comb it gently.

Because of all my side effects, including this one I am considering switching to

Spyrel...I just don't know. Your definitely not alone with this one. Last time

it was delivered to me, it finally listed hair loss as a side effect. Let's

keep in touch. Prayers to all.

[ ] HELP!!

I am so freaked out after 3 mos on Tasigna my hair is falling out!!!!!!!!!! I

noticed that the hair on my legs and under arms was not growing. My hair is

fairly long, my thinking is, if its not growing and falling out, I am going to

be bald. I am having nightmares about this. Did this happen to anyone else?? I

also have a very itchy head. I am on 800 mg a day and I think it is too strong

for me. I have told my Onc that when my BCR/ABL tests come back on Tues if I am

at zero I intend to go down on this dosage he indicated that he didnt agree....

I have the same dose, 400 mg. in the a.m. and 400 in the p.m. I have that

itchy scalp -- it drives me crazy! -- but not the hair loss. I started out

at a half-dose, then went up to the full dose a month later. Did you do

likewise?

I had some hair loss with Gleevec, body hair and also the hair on my head,

although I have enough for five people so the loss was not discernible to

anyone but me.

At first everything was great on Tasigna. Then I got walloped with fatigue,

nausea and headaches. That was about at the three-month point.

I guess at this point it's been about six months, and I don't have the

fatigue anymore, and only slight queasiness and occasional headaches. So

maybe your hair loss will subside?

I can definitely appreciate your panic! That's a big one to deal with.

Very best of luck Donna -- let us know what happens.
