Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 sorry about this. perseveration strikes and i cannot get on with life until i post. um. its those pesky cats again. mine likes cows milk a lot. she is given water and turns her nose up at it, even leaping up to try and knock milk carton out of grandson's hand if denied. and if the young of an animal has no mother, sometimes another variety of animal will suckle the baby. we had a dog who fed 2 kittens along with her pups. they needed supplements though. it wasn't good for them. btw i have a milk allergy so i am not doing this to spite you. just have to get it down and send to move onto other thoughts. __________________________________________________________________ Pre-order the NEW Netscape 7.0 browser.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 , Nenah, Moria - and Everybody - I am so moved by your posts. I have to explain. I have 2 " supposedly " identical-twin 7-year-old boys named and Zachary. Zachary was rushed away from me at birth. The nurse had a look of horror on her face. I found out later he subsequently had an " emergency tracheotomy " . I do not know how long he went without oxygen. His father believes he was oxygen deprived - and it makes sense to me, considering how he is. Zachary seems to have autism. He also has Moebius Syndrome, which means he has something wrong with, or has underdeveloped cranial nerves. Because of that, he can't make facial expressions at all. He can't even smile. Moria's and Nenah's posts make me wonder - do you think oxygen, or the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, might be able to fix or regrow them??? Zachary also has something called Oromandibular-limb Hypogenesis Spectrum, which means he has no hands, a micro-sized or non-existent tongue, no bottom lip, a severely recessed small jaw, a deformed foot, and he cannot swallow, suck or eat. He was placed on a ventilator and stayed on it most of his life - after he stopped breathing 5 times in his first 2 years. And he also has a feeding button surgically implanted in his tummy so he can get be fed. After he was born, I had what seemed like a nervous breakdown, along with some devestating symptoms from Hep C, and I couldn't handle all the medical aspects of keeping him alive at the time. Suctioning his trache made him turn purple - and my knees buckle at the sight of it, yet it was a constant and necessary aspect to his care. So I/we felt we had to place him in a nursing home for the time being, which was a living nightmare for me, thinking of what he was going through. Even though he seemed to have some very efficient coping mechanisms. When I finally got myself well enough, and after he was rushed to Children's Hospital with severe dehydration because the nursing home wasn't caring for him properly - I finally got the courage to take the medical training required to take him home and care for him on my own. After reading your posts, I'm wondering - do you all think oxygen can help him? ? Do you think we could apply to receive benefits under your Special Needs Club to get this chamber? I don't know what it is - or even if we have the space for it in this small apartment, but I always dreamt that Zachary would somehow come out of his isolated world - and into ours. I even dreamt he would smile at me someday. And talk to me - and walk to me. Even grow a jaw and hands. I've just always believed in this as a possibility. After all - chamelions are able to regrow their tails, so why would this not be possible? After reading this set of posts - I'm wondering if this can really happen for him. Does anyone have any further thoughts or info on this for me? Do you all think this is possible? Am I being unrealistic with these hopes and dreams? If cells and nerves can really regenerate - why *isn't* this possible?? Please tell me what you all think. I plan to follow up on a red light LED and look into what a hyperbaric oxygen chamber is. And I tried EFT on myself and know it works, so I'll be using that on him as well. Thank you for the link to download the manual for free Nenah.

In addition to HBOT, I would recommend that you take Zachary to an osteopath who is (additionally) trained in cranial osteopathy. This is a form of physical manipulation that is used to correct for pressures in the joints in the head bones. (I'm not sure that is the best description. It can be misalignment, but I'm not sure what words to use here.) Ideally you want to find someone who has done LOTS of cranial exams, who can feel his head and spine and tell you about whether adjustments would be helpful. This is a very appropriate therapy for some, but is not needed by everyone. For example, kids whose heads get squished during birth would often benefit. You can find a couple of links to practioners and additional info here: http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/HOW_TO_find_doctor.html Look for the section about cranial sacral and cranial osteopathy and cranial manipulation. > Because of that, he can't make facial expressions at all.

Well, I think HBOT is pretty amazing stuff. As Jill said, it has helped many kids with Cerebral Palsy. I know it has helped lots of people with strokes. So I think we are in " the right ballpark " here. However, individual people are unpredictable. Healing is always unpredictable. I don't know what would happen with Zachary. But I love your attitude of looking for healing--- that is the starting point. Without that attitude, nothing is possible. With that attitude, your chances are good, because you will always seek out and move toward healing. > Zachary also has something called Oromandibular-limb Hypogenesis > Spectrum, which means he has no hands, a micro-sized or non- existent > tongue, no bottom lip, a severely recessed small jaw, a deformed foot, > and he cannot swallow, suck or eat.

Do you think > we could apply to receive benefits under your Special Needs Club to get > this chamber? Well, here is the bad news, and there is lots of good news to follow up right after it. HBOT is REALLY expensive. There is mixed opinion about the " mild " chambers (which is the kind that Jill is talking about). A small one costs about $10,000 new. Less used (etc). A bigger one, big enough for you and him together is $15,000 or $20,000. There are other costs also, such as oxygen. Also, you need a prescription to buy these chambers, so that also costs something. Now, a " hard shell " chamber (which is the kind that is not " mild " ) costs way more than this. People do not usually have them in their home, although a few lucky souls do have them in their homes. Most people pay by the hour -- sometimes travelling to remote corners to go to a clinic that has this available. In the US the general price is $100 to $200 per session. Initially I heard that people do 40 sessions. Generally. I've since learned that many people do several SERIES of 40 sessions each. I'm sorry, the only way I know how to explain this is to explain it, and it is painful to me. The cost is truely amazing--- it is SO much money. So, hopefully that is about the end of the bad news part. The good news is only sort of " better than that " . Not especially good, but at least somewhat better than the bad news. Okay, here are some good parts: There are a few places that offer HBOT (in hard shelled chambers) for less money. You can find them from the MUMS list. Here is the MUMS list: http://www.netnet.net/mums/hbolist.htm Now, the MUMS list, in itself, is very good news. Do go read this website--- it is full of hope and inspiration-- the kind that is REAL-- made by real people out of hard work. Next, there is always some possibility that you could somehow find someone who has a chamber and will let you use it. While this is certainly a longshot, it has been known to happen. Start reading this list: NeuroHBOT/ and also this list: lyme-mildhyperbaric/ Personally, the mild chambers make sense to me, because I can at least IMAGINE being able to buy one (expensive but not totally impossible) -- and, once in your house you can use it a LOT, where the treatments in a clinic cost money every single session. This seems very important to me. There are debates about whether the " mild " pressure is " as good " as the higher pressure (in a hard-shelled chamber), but in the real world few people can actually get as much time in a hard shell as they would ideally like. So that is a factor. Another good point, Jill already brought this up, is that you can sometimes get a chamber used. I would not suggest that you even start to consider this until you know more about HBOT, the issues and costs involved, and so on. The people who sell mild chambers also sometimes have demo units (slightly used) for sale. Ask me more about this if you want, I have price-shopped a bit. I would recommend that you buy and read the book Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/- /0895297590/qid=1080715815/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-2225431-8820900? v=glance & s=books I think this is a very good book, and it will help you understand in general how HBOT works. I probably bought it used from http://www.half.com There is also a list about HBOT and medicaid--- the list is about people trying various strategies to try to get HBOT treatments paid for. This seems to me like a real long shot, but there are people following the details of this issue. This list is: medicaid/ Okay, I hope you are not totally overwhelmed yet? Ozone also may help your son in ways that I can't predict. He has a number of complex chronic conditions, so improvement in just SOME of them could mean a lot of positive results. As I'm sure you appreciate, this is not an " all or nothing " undertaking. > I don't know what it is - or even if we have the space for > it in this small apartment, but I always dreamt that Zachary would > somehow come out of his isolated world - and into ours.

Please know at all times that there are people who believe this with you, and who are rooting for you and for Zachary. My personal belief is that all illnesses can be healed--- although we do not always know how to enable this. So I don't believe that every individual WILL heal, but rather that no condition is hopeless. Many times we never find the key. But that does not mean to me that the body cannot heal. Your writing is amazing to me -- the simplicity of it, and that you have maintained this hope in the face of caring for Zachary for years. I want to say again that I do not know what level of change is possible for your son, in any circumstance, or through any therapy. I am not " predicting " anything. I would like to pass along some inspiration to you--- which, of course, I cannot guarentee. I can only pass on to you something that inspires me. So here it is, please take it as a gift, that is how I mean it: http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/LOVE_LETTERS.html Oh, and do follow up on the MUMS group--- I think that may lead you to many additional worlds of help and inspiration. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank > you for the link to download the manual for free Nenah. God Bless You > All and Thank you So Much for being here! > > Jodi Hi Jodi. Wow, that's some story. No wonder you're exhausted! As you say...anything's possible! I remember reading in a book by Becker how a little boy (around 9 years old), having seen how his pet salamander could regrow a limb, spent a summer partially regrowing one of his toes that had been severed in a lawnmower accident, because no one had told him he couldn't! In your case, since your boy is so little, you must be his will. What you truly believe and feel will likely become what HE truly believes and feels, since all consciousness is linked and you and he are linked the most. I would try anything likely: hyperbaric, the LEDs, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). I also have a meditation to help restore the Divine Blueprint; if you email me privately I'll send it to you. You might also want to contact Kurt Ebert and custom order one of his " Tree of Life " discs that can be played on a CD player with a silent antenna 24/7. A mother did it for her Down Syndrome child starting from when the girl was about 6 months old; and now the girl looks developmentally normal and has exceeded her intellectual range of kids her age (she's about 2 years old). No guarantees...but the website explaining the technique is http://www.the-tree-of-life.com/ Having said all this Jodi, there is a chance that your little boy will never be " normal. " Perhaps this happened so you could learn all you can about healing and become well-educated and a healer/teacher of others. Perhaps he will smile at you and gain use of his body. I don't know. It's a challenge to do all one can, while remaining neutral (unattached) as to the outcome. I try to do this every day of my life. Many blessings to you on your journey.

Thank > you for the link to download the manual for free Nenah. God Bless You > All and Thank you So Much for being here! > > Jodi Hi Jodi. Wow, that's some story. No wonder you're exhausted! As you say...anything's possible! I remember reading in a book by Becker how a little boy (around 9 years old), having seen how his pet salamander could regrow a limb, spent a summer partially regrowing one of his toes that had been severed in a lawnmower accident, because no one had told him he couldn't! In your case, since your boy is so little, you must be his will. What you truly believe and feel will likely become what HE truly believes and feels, since all consciousness is linked and you and he are linked the most. I would try anything likely: hyperbaric, the LEDs, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). I also have a meditation to help restore the Divine Blueprint; if you email me privately I'll send it to you. You might also want to contact Kurt Ebert and custom order one of his " Tree of Life " discs that can be played on a CD player with a silent antenna 24/7. A mother did it for her Down Syndrome child starting from when the girl was about 6 months old; and now the girl looks developmentally normal and has exceeded her intellectual range of kids her age (she's about 2 years old). No guarantees...but the website explaining the technique is http://www.the-tree-of-life.com/ Having said all this Jodi, there is a chance that your little boy will never be " normal. " Perhaps this happened so you could learn all you can about healing and become well-educated and a healer/teacher of others. Perhaps he will smile at you and gain use of his body. I don't know. It's a challenge to do all one can, while remaining neutral (unattached) as to the outcome. I try to do this every day of my life. Many blessings to you on your journey.

And would making several jars at a time be feasible with this method? .. .. >>> Sam's Club has a high quality Braun handblender for about $35.00. Don't get a low powered one. Why would you make several jars at a time? What volume? For large batches you might be better off with a good food processor. mjh http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
