Guest guest Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 My heart goes out to you. Had your daughter been diagnosed with a thyroid problem prior to this? I lost my Mother many years ago to the opposite type problem,. hypothyroid and the depression it causes. She committed suicide at 35 years old. This disease is a killer just usually it is a long drawn out thing. YOURSELF is who needs care too! You say you have been on & off thyroid meds for two years? Once diagnosed with thyroid disease, you always have it. You need to take care of yourself to care for your grandchild. Hugs from the heart for your daughter. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WVFat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hi Larry . The elderly are so wonderful!! I am sorry you have this disease...it is very scary!!! After having it for a long time (1972)..I have found out these things: 1(Most people do not know what it is like to be sick for more than 5 days and when they say..you don't look sick say to yourself(you don't see my illness..I don't see your brain ) 2.) The worst part is temporary(even if it is 2 years.) .. I have had days I could not pick up anything..or walk or drive a car .. had fevers high ones for months on end...now I am 90% fine and that is great!! My flares lasted 8 or 9 months..others have them longer..I have been good in remissions..others not so great. The first flare is usually the worst. It can change a bit everytime. 3) Rest rest rest..make sure in the future your family understands this...they might not get it later on. 4)Use this group..it is more than a big help!!! We even have parties(conferences..or cyber parties)..they are fun Many hugs to you your family and friends..By the way..tell us more about what s going on...any relief yet???

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I don't get to write the loop too much lately - trying to play catch-up financially and that takes bunches of time unfortunately and the goal seems further and further away. Oh well. Welcome to the loop - sorry you had to join us this way. I'm a southern neighbor, Hollywood FL. You will be very glad you live in the south - got stills while living in Chicago area and the cold was awful for me. Much better in florida with the heat. I read a later email from you about returning to work. BE CAREFUL!!! That was said yelling. I went back to work very soon as I'm self employed and can only make money if I'm working. The steroids really mess with your head, floaty-forgetful-tired-emotional-and on and on. You do a physical job and need to KNOW what you know and sometimes the prednisone doesn't allow you to do that. Plus, you have people's lives literally in your hands. What happens if your muscles or joints give out and you're helping someone walk and can't help them cuz you're out of commission. I'm in sales on the phone and computer and I know that I've lost sales because of Stills. I don't think as quickly, can't come with comebacks to their objections as effectively, but mostly I find that when I should be totally focused on work, too many of MY thoughts are about the drugs and the side effects, the pain and what to do with it, the money and how to pay the health insurance and on and on. Not much room left upstairs with all those thoughts messing with me to actually make much money selling unfortunately. So, my gut reaction to your question about going back to work soon is NO. If you can possibly help it. If you're the breadwinner in the family, you may not have a choice. I didn't. While I'm not the breadwinner, my husband and I are partners in some of our business and he couldn't do his stuff without me doing my stuff. So I did the best I could and it kept a roof over our head and food but that was about it. We owe bills up the yingyang now. I'm 52 and have had stills since 1998. About once a quarter, I need a complete weekend to sleep, just did that yesterday and today (couldn't make it to the weekend this time). Fortunately I now work for a guy who's great about that and all the doctors appointments. One last note about returning to work too soon.... I was in the hospital with a " fever of unknown origin " . this was my first hospitalization of my life. I freaked out. My fever had hung around for about 6 weeks by this time but the spikes were higher now - up to 103degrees. They kept me about 10 days. My poor hubby (fiance then) didn't do any of the financial stuff and one day he comes to my hospital room with all the financial stuff so I could pay bills and figure out where the money went. All the nurses laughed but the reality was we divided the work such that I couldn't do his and he couldn't do mine. Stupid! Some of the financial decisions that I made that day are still coming back to bite me in the butt (along with the shots daily). My brain was just not working properly enough to make the decisions that needed to be made. All of these years later, I do much better mentally, but it isn't the way it was pre-stills unfortunatly. But when your brain is constantly fighting pain, it can't be all there.One amazing drug I'm on is Kineret. Just started 6 weeks ago and it's given me a few glimmers of my " old brain " first time in years and years. I'm hoping the longer on Kinneret the more that will happen. It's already helping me with the stills tremendously and I am incredibly grateful. While you're at home you may want to begin to think about what you could do that's not as physical or mentally demanding as the work you do. Maybe training others to help themselves more. Like in this group, that might be a start although most of us are financially broke now. But we'd give you terrific referrences if you do that. Like, I really need to start doing water exercises. The Kinneret is helping so much I decided to start swimming more. I used to go to the YMCA for arthritis swim but that's too much money for me and I work during those hours. I was thinking of going 2 or 3 times and writting everything I remembered and going on my own with hubby in our complex pool. I'd buy a book with lots of pictures, diagrams and instructions with charts for keeping track progress, schedules, etc. So, I lied, that wasn't the last thing. But you asked a huge question Larry. I wish you the very best of luck. Please don't overdue it - you'll feel it later. And sometimes you need to change careers. I was a writer, published a book and sold over $50,000 worth. Today, it's hard to stay focused to write letters sometimes. So a book is out of the question. For now. So instead I do short sales pitches at work, little bit of paperwork and I'm done. Some weeks I do terrific and other weeks I come home with zero check - straight commission sometimes sucks! It's quite an adventure, sometimes I feel like I'm in the wild west and I just fought the buffalo, now I rest and then come the bad guys, I fight them off, rest and then the bad guys friends come to get me. It's not an easy life, but it does seem entertaining somethings how I keep bouncing back. Went out with a friend last night who is so amazed at all the little things we do to eeck out a living. He was the choir director at the synogogue I belonged to in Chicago. My husband has fibromyalgia so he has similar problems. My friend says it is like those punching bags that you hit and they pop right back at you. Things knock us down and somehow or another we find something new to stand up to. So that's my speech for this evening. You are now officially welcomed by me to the stills loop. Be well Larry.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I checked out Capitol School as well and know some people there. I have heard good things as long as you fit the profile. First of all, I think they only go to 2nd grade. Also most of their kids did not qualify for special ed services from their school district. Two people I know that tried to get into Capitol with HFA or PDD-NOS were told they needed the Horizon program (or whatever they call the ABA program these days). mychele_chapin wrote: I am new to this group and I am SO excited that I found it. I live in Bastrop and I have a 8 year old PDD son. I am looking for alot of information or thoughts please. First a support group???? Does anyone know of any social groups for his age? He is really lacking on social/play skills and I would like to find something for him to get into. Also, anyone heard good/bad things about Capitol school in Austin. I took my son for consideration for next year but I was a little disappointed in what they told me. Just curious on others feelings and whether it was just the way I read into it. My son needs more hands on educational teaching rather than what the public schools can provide. Are they any suggestions? Im also going to look into St. Francis this summer, but I may also just keep him where he is also. The school provides good services, speech, ot, AT and counseling but its just the academics, how they teach that he has a hard time with. Thanks so much for your help!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 ---yes these can help Tell me what you think if you will about this info and what you do with this info you will need good analytical skills btw Tackling asthma Certain principles can be employed in dealing with this problem ,this information is mainly taken from the Edgar cayce research material and also combined with other principles. Principle 1 One of the most important principles outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important treatment. Principle2 According to the book asthma a complete guide by Professor brostoff and gamlin Who have reviewed thousands of pieces of work by various departments, doctors, and researchers, there is a vast amount of knowledge on the subject. Those people interested in the subject would I feel do well to consult their book ISBN 07475 4043 8 These are some of the findings Numerous people have benefited greatly by doing yoga. By identifying their own common triggers or allergic reactions people's lives can be helped greatly. Strengthening the breathing muscles has also been of great benefit and research has proven this point. Check that you are not taking drugs that make your asthma worse Such as aspirin and in some people, certain drugs for glaucoma, high blood pressure, angina, migraine and thyroid problems. Avoid chest infections. Protect yourself from pollution indoor and outdoor. Check your workplace for allergens and irritants, this accounts for a great many problems. Peak flow meters put people in touch with their airways and give an early warning of asthma attacks. Review your drugs the amounts taken and the inhaler devices, some people go on taking these drugs for months without need. Professor brostof recommends osteopathy treatment Vigorous exercise is highly recommended, studies have shown that people who do exercise require fewer drugs Lose weight, studies have shown people who are more overweight have a higher chance of developing the disease. There appears that there is good evidence now that the western diet with its high fat and salt intake and low fruit and vegetables is part of the reason for the epidemic of asthma. Swimming does seem to help some people with reports of peak flow improving after having done the swim, other reports indicate that the humidity helps the airways. Factors which seem to encourage asthma- according to our learned professor 1.Allergens from dust, pet's pollen, moulds either in the mothers blood during pregnancy or in the air at birth. 2.Natural antibodies in the mothers breast milk 3.Other microbes 4.Natural bacteria in the gut, which can be altered by taking antibiotics. 5.Parsitic worms 6.Vaccinations 7Toxic chemicals from tobacco in the mothers bloodstream if she smokes when pregnant. 8Irritants such as tobacco smoke and nitrogen dioxide in the air that the baby breathes. Edgar Cayce approach to healing Asthma There are quite a few principles which cayce advocated 1.All healing comes from the infinite – that means from attunement and harmony with our spiritual source 2. At the same time each person must take responsibility for his or her health and healing process. No one can simply sit back waiting passively for healing to occur. 3.All healing is the changing of the vibrations within no one can hate his neighbor and not get stomach upsets as a result. Thoughts are real and have weight and value. 4.Cayce warned people about certain drugs and talked about them as palliatives that deceive the soul with half-truths and temporary relief. 5 He also mentioned that the very best treatment procedure could bring about a temporary worsening of conditions. If we did not recognize this we could give up just as there was a change in our health. Emphasis was also placed upon self-acceptance. As we rid ourselves of self-condemnation we make room for healing forces to work. Optimism and hope .We are encouraged to expect healing Patience, we must be willing to invest whatever time and trouble it takes. 6 We are encouraged to use creative visualization to stimulate our own healing, which usually takes more than a few sessions. 7.A commitment to a purposeful life .Not just any purpose but one which reflects care for other people. To help balance our karma. 8. There appears to be quite a few causes for this problem.Cayce gave 73 readings for 23 people and specified the causes to have its origin in the neuralgic stimuli which were touched off by either lesions and adhesions in the bronchi and larynx or by pressures exerted in the autonomic ganglia and their connections with the cerebrospinal system. In other words spinal problems were involved occurring mainly in the dorsal and cervical area. Poor spinal misalignments combined with certain other factors such as stress or poor diet would also cause the bronchi to constrict bringing on an asthmatic attack. Frequently congestion would result and toxins which were not fully eliminated from the lungs would cause a reaction in the kidneys and liver. Glands associated with the assimilation system would also come involved. An interesting exercise was mentioned for strengthening the lungs, this came I believe from Harold reilly he found that by blowing up several balloons a day this aided conditions of asthma, emphysema and other disorders. In certain cases the elimination process had been disturbed so The eliminations, which may have been disturbed, have to be brought back to normal and in balance with the assimilations. The deep and superficial circulation which is often disturbed should be restored. The glands of the body should be brought also into balance. Irritation of an external nature should be eliminated. Dietary adjustments should be made, which are very important with a severe restriction of sweets, only honey once a day was allowed no white bread potatoes tomatoes or dried beans or rice. All fruits vegetables and nuts were desirable Fowl of fish for protein. Colonics should be given weekly for 2-3 weeks then perhaps once monthly. Enemas could be used if colonics were not available. Atomidine can be given in a series this is to balance the glands one drop daily in half a glass of water for five days stop for three days then to two drops daily for five days stop for three days. Then back to one drop daily then a rest and start the regime again. These factors applied in a therapeutic regime need to be done with patience and persistence. Acute attacks of asthma were controlled in various ways although it is implied that when other forms of therapy have begun the attacks would become less severe. Calcidin 1-5 drops in 5 ounces of warm water sipped every 15-20 mins is one suggestion. Atomidine 6 drops in a tablespoon of water sipped entirely once every 6 hrs is another. Special inhalants were also advisee such as to 4 oz of grain alcohol add oil of eucalyptus 20 mins, rectified oil of turpentine 5mns,compund tincture of benzoin 15mns. Apple brandy fumes from a charred oak keg were also recommended this was prepared by taking either a 1- 2 gall charred oak keg and filling it with pure apple brandy just half a gallon. Drill 2 holes in the top and breathe the fumes twice a day, the keg should be placed near a heat appliance of some kind to enable the fumes to come off readily. This acts as a purifier of tissue but also allows the tissue to be revivified. Of interest to a male adult General advice was to avoid sweets entirely, as these would cause irritation and also avoid tea and coffee or any of that nature 36-42 osteopathic adjustments applying heat at the same time. Calcidin recommended. 4. Ensure your diet is good raw salad once a day ideal or 5 portions vegetables or fruit daily ensure adequate protein women 60 grams day men around 70grams. Ensure you get adequate minerals all of them particularly calcium and magnesium, iron in the right proportions and combinations. See Adele book lets eat right to keep fit ISBN 0046410171. Ensure adequate water intake of the order 1-2 litres per day that's right water. Blood sugar make sure you are not suffering low blood sugar as this can very quickly affect your mood. Also according to a known therapist who says that some of her patients had food intolerance's or reactions to certain foods which were a significant contributory cause of depression .when certain foods were taken out it seems immediate results were found. So it might pay you to have a test done on the relationship of your foods and you. It seems a great many benefits are obtained when you cut out foods that don't suit you. 12 Spiritual healing, Reiki, find a good healer - but someone you feel an attunement with at a soul level otherwise you can have negative results making your situation worse. We are know witnessing one of the great turnings in our century where old healing practices are re-emerging such as Reiki healing, Colour healing, Seichim, Spiritual healing, Osteopathy, Massage and many others. Some of these are thousands of years old, Spiritual healing is one of those. It is exactly the same kind of energy used by Jesus in so many of his healings. Put simply Spiritual Healing, Reiki is the transference of certain energies through a channel which could be a person or an animal or even the planet, the wavelengths of this healing energy are well outside the limits of most scientific equipment but a lot of people can feel this energy . The energy in my experience has been very uplifting and beautiful which can touch and vastly influence parts of us such as the spirit or soul or our mental selves and our physical selves. It can bring a steadiness and balance and sense of well-being second to none .Its limits as to its use are in the realms of the infinite. A very simplistic analogy would be to liken it to a massive energy reservoir which can be tapped into by people and animals which act as the conduits of this energy and like wires of electricity some of which are bigger than others and so therefore big wires can transmit more energy than smaller wires. Bearing this point in mind the reader can soon appreciate that going to one healer can be vastly different than going to another as it is with so many things whether it be dentists, doctors, policeman or what have you. Spiritual Healing is natural healing energy, which is present in this universe. Spiritual healers work in many different ways to some it is the laying on of hands onto a person or animal, to others it can be sent through the power of thought. To be even in the presence of some healers can have a profound and beneficial effect on people and one wishes that there were more people giving off just as beautiful vibrations as these people were this world would truly transform it. p In asthma , " JUST ANGEL " <angel_has_ms2@y...> wrote: > hi my name is lori and i am 34 yrs old. i have multiple sclerosis and > asthma, lately i find it harder to control my asthma..i am using my > nebulizer machine every 6 hours and i just got a peak flow meter but > thenumbers werent set. is the lower yellow/red suppose to be set at > 250? and green/yellow at 450? can someone help me. i also take > singulair and advair. thank you.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 ---on the m.s front see Multiple sclerosis Be sure that you have read carefully the cayce philosophy page as missing any one of the principles there could cost you in some form – we know we have done it. One of the most important principles overlooked by thousands if not millions of people outlined by cayce and others where people are suffering from any condition is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this would bring faster results. This is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute their own karma. See other pages on this particularly important aspect. Multiple sclerosis is a disorder involving the inflammation and degeneration of the myelin (a fatty material that insulates nerves) in the brain and spinal cord. The loss of myelin is accompanied by a disruption in the ability of the nerves to conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain. This results in symptoms including balance and coordination problems, weakness (especially in the legs), visual disturbances, fatigue, bladder and bowel problems, and cognitive and emotional disturbances. These are extracts of the report which was prepared for the advisory board of physicians based on the Edgar cayce readings. Cayce gave a total of 100 readings for 69 separate people. Definite diagnosis was difficult in some of the cases because of a lack of medical history. However it appears from the report that 34 cases have a high probability of being M.S.Twenty two cases seem to be less certain and 13 cases seem to point to other illnesses and in many of these cases Parkinson's was most probable. M.S. A Drugless therapy approach. Cayce sited the causes of M.S.as being varied but briefly it was the lack of gold in the body which caused a glandular imbalance which in turn caused a hormonal deficiency.This hormone was said to be vital to the proper functioning of the nerves. Also it can be stated that even with enough gold present in the system the body still has to have the ability to use it, it was this ability that was lacking in some of the cases that cayce dealt with. The body has to have the ability to absorb or assimilate the gold. Genetic factors would come into play in dealing with these issues. Some people having a greater capacity to absorb gold than others it would appear. The destruction of the myelin sheaths probably occurred because of the poisons within the cell walls from the lack of the nervous forces. The effect of the incorrect mental attitude which had its effect upon the body especially the glands was also cited as a causative factor in a few cases. People must be positive in their thoughts and their words and their actions frequently cayce mentioned this to many people indeed where some people had a lack of progress cayce frequently pointed out it was because their attitudes were holding them back. They had to be prepared to serve others, to have a willingness to aid. Treatment Took the form of 1.Application of the atomic effect of gold into the body using the cayce invention called the wet cell appliance, the gold is not given orally but given as a vibration using electrical wires, this cayce electrical invention was mentioned in hundreds of cases and was used with great success.The wet cell appliance can be made or bought, those wishing to make one of these devices would be well advised to consult the book The radial appliance and the wet cell battery by Doug s and Mcmillin of the meridian institute, this book or the machine itself can be purchased from john walsh at the Edgar cayce centre England or from the Heritage store at Virginia beach or from the A.R.E.headqarters Virginia beach. The wet cell solution was to be prepared in the following manner, to 1.5 galls of distilled water add 2 pounds of copper sulphate, 1 oz of concentrated sulphuric acid 30 grams of zinc, 0.5 pound of willow charcoal. The gold chloride solution should be used at a strength of I -3grains of gold chloride to 1oz of distilled water in the solution jar to which the nickel pole goes through, however in as many days iodine trichloride was to be used on alternate days from the gold solution. Spirits of camphor was advised in 13 cases and sometimes all three solutions were to be used in a three day series.The nickel plate was to be placed on the umbilical lacteal duct centre which is located on the right upper quadrant of the abdomen a point of the distell end of the gall bladder. Various positions were to be used along the spine for the copper plate but the most frequent position was the ninth and tenth thoracic vertebrae and at the level of the fourth lumbar.The wet cell was to be recharged every 30 days and was to be used each day for between 30-60 mins. The best time for this to be given was before retiring at night though not an absolute rule. The strength of the gold solution varied between 1-3 grains of gold chloride in the distilled water. The amount of sulfuric acid varied between 1 and 1.5 ounces. Sometimes willow charcoal was to added to the wet cell and sometimes not. 2.Massage was to be given immediately after the wet cell treatment starting at the base of the skull and then working down the spine and out to the bodies extremities using a circular motion and sometimes massage was recommended to the chest and abdomen also. 56% of the case studies were to use a combination of oils consisting of 2 oz of peanut oil mixed with 2oz olive oil and a quarter oz of lanolin.25% were recommended an olive oil base plus peanut oil with various combinations and amounts of Russian white oil, oil of cedarwood, oil of sassafras root, oil of pine needles, nujol, lanolin, oil of wintergreen, tincture of benzoin, tincture of myrrh, whithhazel, spirits of camphor, spirits of turpentine, mutton suet and oil of mustard. The most frequently used oils were the first seven used in the preceding list. Preferably given daily for no more than an hour. 3.Iodine therapies in the form of iodine trichloride by mouth was recommended in 6 cases and eating seafood as a source of iodine in the diet .In about 53% of cases some form of iodine was recommended. 4.Dietary changes were particularly advised, Low fat, foods containing B Vitamins wheat germ or brewers yeast, seafood and any light meats to be boiled and no fried foods. Daily Raw vegetables such as watercress carrots, celery, beets and salads with gelatin. Also many fruits were to be eaten. 5. A hopeful and positive prayerful attitude from the patient and the helper was emphasized and considered essential. 6. Cayce emphasized this is a long term process giving three to seven years as being the norm to gain recovery. 7.A helper to administer the wet cell treatments and give the massage is almost an essential ingredient in achieving the consistency of treatment which is an essential element in achieving success. 8.Where possible the patient is to do everything they can to help others in whatever capacity they can. Cayce frequently mentioned that this will bring faster resultsThis is a great ingredient in helping all people to transmute karma. See other pages on this particularly important treatment. Although not specifically recommended by cayce for ms, Spiritual healing has the capacity to be very beneficial in all illnesses- see other pages on this fascinating subject. The original files on M.S. can be obtained through the A.R.E.at www.are-cayce.com More specific details of the wet cell ,oils, diet and massage can be obtained through the A.R.E. or one of the many thousands of Edgar cayce web sites. There are two must have books Reba Ann karps book encyclopedia of healing ISBN 0446 30981-8 which gives lots of treatments on all manor of diseases. And the Edgar cayce handbook for health by Harold reilly and Ruth hagy brod Isdn0-02601960-4 Obtained from the cayce centre Actual readings and details of the wet cell appliance can be obtained through the A.R.E.or the Edgar Cayce centre up in Durham 13 prospect terrace, new stanley, CO Durham, England DH9 7TR 01207 237696 E mail cayce.walsh.@... ask for one of the circulating files on M.S. The meridian institute, www.meridian institute.com/ ran by a team of doctors undertook a research project to explore the cayce protocol, details can be obtained from their site but after just six months all people doing the protocol had improved. A brief summary of the meridian institute research project that had nine participants. This was undertaken over a 6 month period following the cayce protocol. Physical symptoms were assessed both by physiological measurements of the autonomic nervous system (galvanic skin response and heart rate variability) and by subjective questionnaires. Mental/emotional/spiritual states were assessed by subjective questionnaires. Subjects who followed the protocol consistently (but none completely or perfectly) averaged moderate improvement in MS symptoms over six months, on both subjective symptom checklists and questionnaires, and objective measurement of GSR. Three out of the seven reported major improvement. This rate of improvement was consistent with the typical Cayce prognosis of gradual improvement over an extended period of time. Continuation for a full year and attention to complete compliance with the protocol should produce even stronger results. Multiple sclerosis is a disorder involving the inflammation and degeneration of the myelin (a fatty material that insulates nerves) in the brain and spinal cord. The loss of myelin is accompanied by a disruption in the ability of the nerves to conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain. This results in symptoms including balance and coordination problems, weakness (especially in the legs), visual disturbances, fatigue, bladder and bowel problems, and cognitive and emotional disturbances. In conventional medicine, multiple sclerosis is thought to be an " autoimmune " disease, in which the body attacks its own cells and tissues. Heredity, infectious, and environmental factors may all play a role. As an added treatment Spiritual healing is well advised .See the information on this fascinating subject on the other pages. Colloidal silver and M.S. Here is the journal of one person's experience with Colloidal Silver. I would caution you that if you decide to try this, be sure to use only the highest quality CS and one with the smallest particle size. If you search the Internet for Colloidal Silver, you may find an article from the medical establishment about one lady whose skin has supposedly turned gray from taking CS. BUT...she obviously took some with a very large particle size and she must have taken way too much of it. Don't let this propaganda scare you away from CS. The FDA, the AMA and other forces in the medical system - especially the PharmaCartel - want to stop Colloidal Silver production and use simply because it is an incredibly cheap and effective germ killer and remedy for many ailments. Feedback I have been on Betaseron since it came on the market 6 or 7 years? I would say it did as promised, I have had no exacerbation since I began the injections. However, everyday I hate to get up to see what additional symptom I have to add to my list to get used to. My right had is numb, my feet, especially my toes are numb. When I get hot or tired my right leg does not lift well. It drags when I walk. After a day at work, I practically have to crawl to my car. I must hold on to a wall at all times. I really should use a cane. I cannot even go up a curb without holding on to someone or something. No way can I climb a ladder. When I sit for any length of time, My legs stiffen and get spasms and I have to wait awhile before I can walk. It appears that I have had too much to drink. I really should use a cane, but usually I can take my companion's arm to get to my car. If I sit on the floor for any reason, like play with my grandchildren, I must first get on my knees, then on all four's, then finally I can get up. Just like a cow. I cannot use help getting up from the floor, I need more control. I sit on the floor as little as possible. When it is hot, I must wear a cold pack vest or I cannot walk. My feet are hot all the time, and I cannot sleep unless my feet are uncovered. I have night paralysis. I must throw my body in order to turn to another side. My legs are locked in the fetal position and it is a real chore to get them unlocked and able to walk. I must use a cane to get to the bathroom during the night. It is about ten feet from my bed. I drank 2 oz of Silver water twice a day - in the morning & at three PM. Day four I begin to drink 8 oz of Silver water two times per day. I seem to have more energy and the end of the day seems to come a little later. I do not drag as much to my car. Day 12 the night paralyzation seems to be easing. I can get out of bed with more ease Day 14 through Day 18 my fingers and toes are tingling more and more. My toes are aching. As the days go by my fingertips seem to be aching, also. Day 20 I seem to have surreal feelings in my fingers. It's like a far away out of body feeling. They still ache. Day 21, I am getting out of bed much easier and quicker. I climbed a ladder at work, and I am not nearly so tired when I leave work. I can actually walk to my car without holding on to the wall. I did some things on the floor at work, and was able to get up without too much trouble. Week four, The bottom of my feet are tingling, I could feel cool bathroom tile on bottom of my feet. My legs ached all night. It was very painful, I wanted to scream out. My legs hurt a great deal. The next morning I was able to walk further than I had in years. Mike and I walked about four blocks that morning. I feel stronger and stronger every day. Week five, More and more feeling in both fingers and toes every day. Less surreal and more natural. Both toes and finger get cold. Week 10, Seem to have small changes every day. Again my toes ached for several days, then I had more feeling in my toes. It's as though I have a non-feeling pad at the bottom of my feet, but feeling all the way around. Lie an animal's paw with the padded bottom. It seems I hurt for a few days, then something feels better. Week 12, I feel like a caterpillar in a cocoon. I wonder if they have pain during the metamorphosis. The bottom of my feet are no longer numb, the fingers on my right hand tingle only at the very tips. I don't even think about lifting a heavy container with my right hand. For years, I wouldn't dare lift, or I would drop whatever I was holding. I poured coffee from a pot without even thinking about it, until I noticed myself. Doing it. There is NO WAY I could be working the hours I have this Christmas, if not for the water. Last year, I had to wear my cooling vest all day every day, and when I went home I could barely walk to my car. Some days I literally dragged my right leg to get to my car. I had to hold on to the building to get around the corner and into my car. When I got home I actually crawled on my hands and knees to get up the steps. This year I never once had to wear my cooling vest. I walk normally to my car at the end of the day, and the steps are not too much of a problem. I still go up one leg only, but it is stronger. The fatigue is minimized, also. I've worked many more hours this year than last. Week 14: I started making my own water about three weeks ago, and I've had to send samples to San for testing. It seems the probe they sent me was not working to full potential, and for about a week I was drinking water with very minimal amounts of silver. After the week I KNEW IT! I was regressing. Things were not working so well, again. I was regressing. Thankfully we figured out the problem and within a couple of days I was back on track. Thank God. This set back has convinced me even more. As if that were possible. I have my life back. I will never give up silver water. Week 20: Christmas Week. I had 16 people for dinner Christmas eve. I had 7 people for dinner Christmas day, I worked 11 hours the day after Christmas, and I had 14 people for dinner the next day. That is four days out of four I entertained at my house. I can't remember when I did something like that. I still have night paralysis, but not nearly as bad as it used to be, and I have a lot of stiffness still when I sit a long time, but nothing near as bad as it used to be. My energy level is very high. Week 24: It seems I was at a standstill for the last several weeks. I didn't see much improvement, but then I saw NO back sliding - Just status quo. This is OK with me if I don't improve much. I've come such a long way back. However, the stiffness & night paralysis could improve. I drink at least 16 oz of water per day. Some days when I have a lot to do, or am especially busy I will drink 24 oz. Week 28: I have been drinking 24 oz of water almost every day. The night paralysis is lessening. It is not taking as long for my legs to get moving in the night or in the morning. More of the numb parts of my body have feeling. I am a retired chiropractor, massage therapist, and registered nurse. I developed multiple sclerosis (MS) during the summer of 1991. Some of my symptoms included numbness, blurred vision, difficulty swallowing, tremors, muscle spasms, depression, fatigue, failing memory, slurred speech, and bladder dysfunction. Following Cayce's recommendations over a period of about two years resulted in the gradual disappearance of ALL my MS symptoms. I wrote a 120 page, illustrated book about my experience, The Edgar Cayce Way of Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis: Vibratory Medicine, which may be read online without cost or obligation by visiting http://members.tripod.com/~dudley_delany/index-70.html If you are a member of the A.R.E., you can purchase or borrow a set of Cayce's readings on scoliosis, Circulating File 456F, by calling 1- USA A number of years ago, a physician undertook an in-depth study of the Cayce material on MS. The results of his efforts are presented in a monograph entitled Medical Research Bulletin on Multiple Sclerosis. To purchase a copy of this publication, call 1- USA In my opinion, Edgar Cayce's approach to treating scoliosis has great potential and merits most careful consideration.
