Guest guest Posted March 17, 2000 Report Share Posted March 17, 2000 Joan, Plasmapharesis is a technique to wash the blood and remove the antibodies. They centrifuge it to separate the plasma. In my searching for both Prosorba and Remicade, I saw the term used with one of them. But of course I can't find which article I read it in! I am pretty sure it was Prosorba. Sorry I can't find more difinitive answers, but I'm still looking. Are you getting any closer to starting Enbrel? I keep hoping your infection problem will clear up so you can start it. a ----- Original Message ----- From: Joan <cdx7159@...> < onelist> Sent: Friday, March 17, 2000 9:06 AM Subject: [ ] QUESTION > From: Joan <cdx7159@...> > > Does anyone know if plasmapharesis (sp) is similar to the Prosorba > Column treatment for RA?

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 Tammy, My Evan uses a pacifier. I used to feel guilty about it, even though he doesn't have it in his mouth constantly or anything. My mother-in-law is a speech therapist (for 25 years) and she told me that pacifiers can be good. She had read studies saying that all that sucking does help children strengthen their mouth and jaw muscles. Evan has mild plagio and has never really had facial asymmetry so I can't really address whether or not the pacifier/bottle ues helps with that. I don't think the pacifier or bottle will do any harm but I suppose it is truly questionable whether it will do some good. Like with everything else, follow your instincts! Good luck.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 >Does anyone know how the oil gets into your gallbladder and ducts? It doesn't. Only bile and intrahepatic stones does. Oil only makes liver produce extra bile, and makes GB contract itself with strongest possible force, suppose GB has any force left after fighting 20,30 or 50 years with stones. Oil goes through intestines (stomach->duodenum->small int.->colon) and may get absorbed by intestines if it stays long enough inside, and if intestines are able to absorbe that amount, and if amount of bile is sufficient enough to break oil down into absorbable drops. The same oil that is absorbed (fatty acids) can be used by body (liver) to create bile acids and to create future gallstones that will come out in the next few flushes. >>Does the oil go up? No. Only parasites knows how to go up common bile duct, from intestines, and only when there is not enough bile to flush them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 I am checking some advice that someone gave me just to make sure it is accurate. If the common bile duct is 7mm and the stones are between 5mm and 1cm can they pass? I a wondering how posible this is. >> ________________ , Our bile ducts are pliable. I think most things in our bodies are. The magnesium citrate or ES (mag. sulfate) helps because they relax the bile ducts. Sometimes if I'm having a bit of pain, I take some magnesium that I get from the health food store. And I have taken a bit of ES when I didn't have any, (thanks to Agnes) which has also helped because of the magnesium. Let me say that I've passed a stone that was about an inch in diameter, and some almost as large. Does this help? Hope so!!! Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2002 Report Share Posted January 11, 2002 < Cholesterol stones will also become somewhat mushy during a flush because of the oil-juice mixture. _________________ Barry, I tend to agree here. I've only had one sonogram, and that was over a year ago. But since then I've gotten rid of some pretty heafy stones. Dr. Cabot said the organic apple juice softens them. I tend to agree with her, because I try to drink 1 quart a day for at least 5 days before the cleanse. I think it really helps.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Hi , I've done Dr. 's liver cleanse, which uses epsom salts. The epsom allows the stones, of any size, to pass painlessly. There are other cleanses which do not use the epsom, and people report all the time that they are passing stones painlessly as well. Although the common bile duct is narrow, it stretches to accomodate the stones, with the help of the ingredients (epsom) in the liver cleanse. You don't have to fear that it will be a painful process! Adrienne --- leesina33594 <leesina33594@...> wrote: > I am checking some advice that someone gave me just to make sure it > is accurate.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Hi , The common duct from the liver to the intestine is even smaller I think. Also, the cystic duct from the GB to the common duct is only around 2mm in size. How does a 1cm stone pass out of the GB? First of all the Epsom salts helps to dialate the ducts. Also, the ducts are not like solid straws. They are very flexible and can flex to accomodate a stone during a flush where the oil lubricates the stone as well. Cholesterol stones will also become somewhat mushy during a flush because of the oil-juice mixture. I hope this helps alittle.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 The availability of a good implement to eliminate hand weeding would be much appreciated. This is a particularly big issue right now in California. California, which outlawed the short-handled hoe more than 20 years ago, is finding a resurgence of growers who have substituted hand weeding. Two groups that might be helpful to your inventor: 1) UC which has an ag health and safety program that " invents " and tess out new implements; and California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation that is an advoacy group, working on outlawing the practice of hand weeding. Both have websites.

Thom (Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Health Program, NYS Dept. of Health) ------------------------------------------------------------------ There are several MHS " Super Grantees " throughout the States that Josh could contact. The best way to research who they are is through US Dept of Health and Human Services web site. He can simply do a search under " Head Start Bureau " to begin with and navigate until he finds the listing. We (Agri-Business Child Development) are a delegate agency of East Coast Migrant Head Start (a super grantee with admin offices in Arlington Virginia). We have 12 MHS centers throughout NYS; we are the only provider of MHS services in NY. There are about 18 other delegate agencies such as ours up and down the east coast that receive funding from ECMHSP. There are super grantees in California as well (reference to his email). I am connected (networked?) to all other ECMHSP delegate agencies through periodic ECMHSP meetings (and other meetings and trainings) throughout the year . There is also a National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association (based in Arlington) that Josh could contact for further info; they have an annual conference that most programs attend.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hello! My left hand is worse than my right, I can hardly make a fist in the morning until I take the 5 mg of Prednisone. Also, I had been dropping anything that was in left hand before I started having RA symptoms, but now it's much worse. I mentioned this to my Rheumy, but he didn't seem too concerned. Also, I am doing really well, except for my left heel, some days I can hardly step down on it. I called the nurse last week and told her, but I have to wait until the end of this month to see to Rheumy again. I am un to 8 MTX, had the stomach ache for a week, but that's gone now, just have bad headaches and am very, very tired now. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 While RA usually affects both sides of the body it often affects one side more than the other. I'm right handed and when I start to flare I often lose strength in my right hand and have to use my left hand or both hands for strength. If it lasts more than a day or so I take extra Prednisone to tide me over till the other RA medicines take effect. I don't think you're that unusual and also increasing the Methotrexate is a good way to try to correct it. If it gets worse, call your doctor and if you get no response, see a different doctor.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I take my MTX just before bed. That way I can sleep or relax through any problems. But so far, no problems with it. I can never make a fist unless I mold it with my other hand. They just don't close by themselves. But the pain level is pretty manageable. I do drop things a lot though. And open a jar or something, forget that.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Jacy, About opening jars -- I'm sure tons of people have suggested this already and maybe you even have one, but just on the off chance no one has and you don't, I figured it can't hurt to say it. They make Jar Opening devices that work absolute wonders. The one I have looks kind of like a plastic wrench with a big strip of rubber attached to the end. You loop the strip around the top of the jar and then you can use your entire upper body strength to turn the wrench, not just your hands. I've even been able to clutch the wrench between my forearms and turn it that way on really bad days when my hands wouldn't close into a grip. It has a groove down the middle that you lay the rubber strip in so you can adjust the length of the loop to fit any size jar top. I use it to open regular jars, soda bottles, pretty much anything. It's a lifesaver. I can't even open a two-liter bottle without it. There are other kinds of devices made for the same purpose but I always had trouble with them until I found this particular model.
