I'm 45, the hubby is 48, we are grand parents of three sweeties. I wanted to say that it IS NOT all downhill after 40..and you will see all kinds of great results inside and out. The hubby and I have both lost 40+ pounds...lots of inches, and now have lower blood pressure and heart rates...increased flexibility, energy..basically a whole new improved perspective on aging. Try not to compare yourself to the folks on the video. Work on being the best that you can be.. and I'll bet you will end up pleasantly surprised. I sure was. The first few months when I would stand in my guard position and throw a punch at the mirror..I would end up laughing because it just looked plain silly. Now that my form is better, I'm more focused and know just how much energy is behind that punch...I sometimes scare myself! Lol. Stick with it..it will take years off of your age..mentally and physically! -whose favorite roll model from the tapes is Marcelyn, the 75 year old woman, who can get her foot above her head at the peak of her cresent kick. If she can do it at 75..I can't think of a single excuse why I won't be able to someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Just thought I would pop in and say hello. My name is and I have a 10 year old son named Cody who has autism and if anyone is dealing with autism and the onset of puberty let me know because I am about to pull out what little hair I have left! Anyway, thought I would say hi and look forward to chatting with you soon! ~R~ Hi R, welcome to the group. I have a almost 12 year old son, Asperger’s,OCD, history and dog lover along with a multitude of other interests. He has been home schooled since fifth grade. Though not easy, this has been the best thing we could have done for him. I have a summer business so don’t write to often, but wanted to say welcome. Ask any questions and if no one responds do ask again….Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hi Carol Welcome to our group.. I am becomming an ND (naturopathic doctor) and have a long background in emergency medicine. Please believe me when I say that there is nothing on the planet that is 'natural' that will cure this disease,,, I would know if there were.. the natural stuff can help the liver hold its own in some cases but it wont cure it.. The only tx that can kill this virus is the current pegged INF and Riba,, at THIS TIME. There are many things in the drug pipeline that look promissing but Colloidal Silver is not one of them. Silver might be helpful topically but there are NO real studies to show that it can cure hep c even tho it does have anti-viral properties. The only thing I know that can help the liver is alpha lipoic acid, Milk thistle, schizzandra... I sure hope your son and his wife will read a lot and learn about this disease and can make an educated decision about tx. Liver failure is an aweful way to die. There are ways to get treatment from the drug companies themselves. The do set aside the meds for those who have no insurance, so they would need to write to Scherring and to Roche and see what they could do for them.. But they must have liver biopsy first to see how much damage and they need to know their genotype also.. If they are overweight and geno 1, then the scherring product has shown a bit higher odds at getting this dragon.. but if one is other than geno 1, not overweight, I think either will do altho some pple say side effects are less with roche , but then again, we have heard some very serious sides from Roche's product that we didnt see with Scherring.... So first off they need to know what genotype they are and what stage of damage they have before deciding what else they could do... Just my 2 cents and Im sure others will come along and give you some other ideas.. welcome to the club, jackie carolfst wrote: Hi, my name is Carol and I joined you because my son, age 36, has just been told he has hep C. He has been a drug user and his wife, also a user, has it. He has no insurance so he can do nothing as far as extensive tests or prescription drugs. I've been reading about alternative treatments and some of the silver meds seem encouraging. My question is about others at risk. My son is living with me at this time and so are my 2 grandchildren. Are we at risk from just living with him? I think not, but I need to make sure I'm protecting my grandkids who have been in my custody for 3 years now. Thanks for your input.
