Newbie ~~Hi Nikki

[Guest guest]

Tell me what your diet is like? what are you eating on a regular

basis? do you eat at home? eat out?

From what I know to be true for me,

we are sick because we are under-nurished, in essence we are starving

because the food we are eating is NOT giving us what our bodies need

to heal themselves. I was raised knowing that if the body has the

right nutrition/tools ( with a very few exceptions) it can and will

heal itself.

Look up and google INFLAMATION of the body and there is a place you

can begin. The inflamation in this country is killing us.

Also go to this website:

www.earthclinic.com/CURES/pH.html

Also a place to begin...if the bodies pH is not nuetral it is either

alkaline or acidic...this is where a lot of the problems begin. We

are out of balance.

I hear your wanting to just give up and let it take over. I have

felt that same way in the past in my life. Hang in there just a bit

longer and maybe we can begin to see a light at the end of the

tunnel ;-) Join my board TotalHealth2008 in yahoo...as well as this

board, and keep educating yourself on your issues.

Another thing I have to say is medical doctors are trained in

symptoms and what drugs take care of what symptoms...so if you're

looking to heal the body, you almost certainly would benefit from

a " alternative " doctor.

Armour is the " natural " pig thyroid medicine...I chose armour because

on levoxyl my hair fell out, including all of my body hair...no

shaving..no eye brows, no eyelashes...it was NOT pretty!

Be well,

~Amy~
