Guest guest Posted December 5, 2000 Report Share Posted December 5, 2000 Sue: I had 4 or 5 acupuncture treatments during my last bout with Lyme disease......it definitely can give a boost to your immune system and get it working up to par again. I do credit the acupuncture along with Biaxin/Plaquenil with bringing me to 2 1/2 years in remission ). You might want to give it a try. It certainly can't hurt.........NO those needles don't hurt........they are as thin as hairs. Happy holidays to everyone. Mona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are taking part in the new research study at s Hopkins using a modified form of the Atkins Diet. If your children have not success at seizure control with at least two medications they may be able to become part of this research group. There is also another study being done for adults using the modified Atkins Diet. Anyone interested should contact Dr. Kossoff at ekossoff@... or call the Epilepsy Center directly and ask for his office - and talk to Dina is assistant. My son has been on the program for about a month and a half. He is using no other seizure meds - only the diet. He has gone from 100+ petite mal seizures a day to roughly zero. He no longer wears training pants all day long - not even to bed. I know this will not be an answer for everyone but it will likely help some of you. I am sure it would be more helpful that using things that add mercury, antimony, aspartic acid, lithium, copper etc. to our kids already overloaded systems. > > .. .. >>> My son has been seizure free for eight months now...... and, basically. a couple of years ago I further refined his diet using only healthy brain fats, minimizing all other fats and grains. He is still on pharmaceuticals which we will be withdrawing. THe complication is that he now has an aggressive form of cancer and I am concerned about destabilizing an otherwise more functional body and brain. He also lost sixty pounds, gained 12 years ago when he began to take Depakote. He gets flaxseed oil mixed with yoghurt for bioavailability, fish oil (10 grams), virgin coconut oil, and olive oil as part of his daily diet. We have always had a good diet of real food carefully prepared which is now more finely tuned. So, taking part in the above research is the simple change to which you refer? We were not fortunate enough to find a neurologist to support us, but reading helps. mjh http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Mjh: Okay we buy some aloe vera because we agree it's phenominal, with the most oxygen molecules than any other plant, which is desperately needed at the cellular level for cell regeneration, now we go buy our minerals, and toss them in, and then we go buy our " pill form " vitamins that we now must crush and put into hot water because we know by themselves they will only be absorbed at a 10-20% rate, then we hope and pray that the amounts we have tossed together are now synergystically combined like Body Balance. a live whole food supplement and anti-oxidant in a base of aloe vera with a blend of nine different sea vegetables. A good tasting liquid that combines over 120 synergistically combined, naturally occurring vital phyto nutrients, including virtually every vitamin phyto macro minerals, phyto-trace minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and enzymes necessary for optimal health. It's been around since the 1980's, because it works, also recommended by thousands of doctors! No chemical preservatives are added. To help preserve the natural nutrients and trace vitamin complex, ingredients from phosphates and blueberries are added It really doesn't make sense when you look at your time and investment your making, with no guarantee of total satisfaction and/or the ingredients you have paid for somehow becomes synergystically combined to produce the proven testimonial results from 1000's of people and over 6000 doctors!!??! We haven't even gotten into the facts about the binding agents used to compile the synthetically manufactured vitamins and minerals that keeps them together in the " pill form " that stays behind in your system, that the billions of dollars a year " pill form " vitamin manufacturers could care less about and don't tell. When enough people wake up to being taken by these pill manufacturers and demand the best, like purchasing BodyBalance, then and only then will the Centrum sellers change their way of manufacturing and catch up to the 21st century!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 mjm, We tried Neuro Bio Feedback at the Institute for Children and Families in West Chester PA. It was very expensive and did not help at all. We tried weekly treatments for over 6 months. It was like flushing money (lots of money) down the toilet. I read Symphony of the Brain and I have no doubt Feedback can be helpful for some people. It just was not the answer for us. We tried Homeopathy - three different practitioners - one an M.D.. We tried Bio Chemist Sutton. We went to Pfeiffer Treatment Center. We tried three different Christian Science Practitioners. We tried a Neurological Chiropractor. A world famous Chinese Herbalist, A Chinese Acupuncturist Doctor of Oriental Medicine. Telephone consultation with Braverman M.D. Three different Neurologists, A Nutritionalist -who btw used liquid minerals - this made things much worse - everyone please be careful when adding minerals- liquid or Centrum whatever to a child's system - they rarely need the extra heavy metals such as copper (despite the belief about zinc balance) they definitely do not need mercury even in a tiny dosage or antimony and most people with seizures do not need extra lithium in their systems.. I only stumbled into the thought of using the Atkins Diet once more as I was researching the idea of using IV IG which was going to cost several thousand dollars a treatment. I figured I would give it a shot despite Dr. Braverman's admonishment that it would only cause him to lose weight. BTW he hasn't lost an ounce because he eats lots of healthy foods all day long. At this point my son is on 10 grams of carbs a day. He takes Garden of Life Perfect Food plus additional compounded formulas with mega doses of B vitamins, zinc (no extra copper), also Cal-Mag, Magnesium Glycinate, Pro-biotics, Nystatin, DMG, Glutitionine, Cod Liver Oil. This is his only medication. In the past we have used Zarotin, Depakote (biggest nightmare of my life), Lamictal (second worst), and Zonegran. I am not writing this down as a recipe for anyone else to use. I know everyone is on their own journey with this stuff and each person will benefit only from the proper thing for them.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 , My daughter was always hungry on the keto diet, though it worked for her for a time. She was allowed 8 grams of carbs per day. Are total calories restricted on the Atkins version? Is he eating lots of meat and cheese products? Who determined the amounts of vitamins for compounding (and how - blood tests?) Hope you don't mind the questions. Sandy Re: [ ] Digest Number 1587 > mjm, > > We tried Neuro Bio Feedback at the Institute for Children and Families in West Chester PA.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Sandy, The carbs are the only thing restricted but like on regular Atkins we deduct all the fiber which allows for some lettuce, green beans, celery and the like. The calories are not restricted at all. This is so much more simpler than the traditional Keto Diet. He is very happy on the diet because as I said he is able to eat lots and often. He does eat a lot of cheese, antibiotic free burgers, nitrate free hot dogs, bacon, and sausage, he also eats eggs, mineral water, there is a Kool Aid product that is colored only with Beet Powder that he enjoys too that I sweeten with pure Stevia. The compounding is the formula prescribed for him by the doctors at Pfeiffer Treatment Center. The Neurologist was pleased with the prescription when he read it so he made no changes to it. The blood work from the Neuro I cannot recall exactly what all the tests were for - Cholesterol and such as well as ruling out any signs of kidney or liver problems. The Perfect Food I added myself because I am concerned that the vegetable amounts are still too small. Now we are going to begin to gradually increase the amount of carbs and experiment with carb sources but we will proceed with a lot of caution. I probably mentioned it already but if you think you or a child you know may be a candidate for this program they are still searching for people - adults and children.
