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 :o). 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

You have missed the point here in your BodyBalance zeal.

THat's OK as it is important to be passionate about something.

The point I was trying to make.... again..... is that people with financial

challenges should be able to get a comparable effect from aloe vera juice and

liquid minerals, both readily available at WalMart, KMart and most drugstore

chains.

A couple times a year I get a gallon of area vera juice.

Sometimes I get a quart of liquid minerals... we eat lots of fresh veggies

and leafy greens including a number of seaweeds, they are a 'gourmet' item. (I

even feed them to my plants).

I guess I can combine the two in one container, but it's easier to serve them

separately. No big deal. The stomach knows what to do with them.

And, for folks with a lot of tablets on hand, I have suggested here before

that they crush them, add them to very hot water and stir to dissolve. Some

folks find that this gives a better response. Especially if folks have a

gut/absorbtion problem.

I have to explain that I am not trying to put Don down, it is simply that in

the last two years I have spent in excess of $40,000 which my family can not

at all afford on Doctors, Homeopaths, Chiropractors, Vitamins, Treatment

Centers, Biochemist, Nutritional products and consultations, Acupuncture,

Neuro-Bio

Feedback, and products that have been pitched to this group....My son has been

seizure free now for over three weeks, and from what...an idea I had wanted

to try 1 1/2 years ago that Dr. Braverman in NYC told me was dumb. So go

figure? Trust your own instincts as a parent everyone and trust God to lead you

in the proper direction...and good luck to us all.

..

>>>

Did you do Neurfeedback yourself for your child or was it done

professionally? Neurofeedback has been successful for many in dealing with

seizure as told

in A Symphony in the Brain and research, etc.

What was your simple idea?

How old is your child and what kind of seizures, what kind of pharmaceuticals?

before and I didn't want to be repetitive. 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: 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! Don

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.

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,

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.

Hi Rhonda, what is an OE? I did go to my settings and under privacy there is no option "do not allow attachments". Maybe sbc doesn't support that option.

OE is Outlook Express.

How about your personal firewall or anti-virus software?

It wouldn't be under the privacy tab, it's under the security tab

Now you tell me what sbc is
