TURKEY DAY

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

At the top of my " Thanksgiving " list this year are all of you & the FEW docs

who acknowledge existence of lyme & appropriate treatment regimens! (Also

for the rife folks!)

Thanks for being you - you're so wonderful - I can't even express how much

all of your help has meant to us!

Blessings & velcro hugs,

(Chicago)

PS - Has everyone sent in their letter & signed the guestbook at Boston

Herald - thanking them for exposing " Dr. Bum Steere? "

<A HREF= " aol://5863:126/mB:109640:3135 " >Boston Herald Lyme article and

Guestbook</A>

Also - have you all emailed senators asking to reopen lyme hearings? Kennedy

& several other are trying to do so! Let's give them a hand by providing

numbers in requests.

Senate.org (takes a few seconds - just a short request is all that's

necessary. They count numbers of requests!)

I've been emailing EVERYONE I know - on all other lists I belong to, etc. -

asking them to do the same - lymies or not! VBG! Let's hope they all pitch

in & help to make a difference for everyone either now afflicted or those who

could/will be in the future!

Hi Kay,

I hope your little ones are all better soon! Just to let you know that

traveling with kids at Thanksgiving does get easier. We, too, since the

twins were about your triplets' age have traveled about 6 hours to my sisters

house in Idaho for Thanksgiving. This year was the best (they just turned

6). In the past, I have had to watch Sara every second, so she would not get

into anything dangerous in a non-childproof house, plus they have ponds near

their house, which is still a bit of a concern; although, this year, she just

wanted to be with her cousins, so where they were, she was; and I remember

the years of no-sleep during Thanksgiving and the time Sara woke up with

croup and I had to get her into one of my sisters' showers.

I admire you for making the trip and I hope you catch up on your rest; and,

it is true, home is a wonderful place to return to!!

Marcia

Mom to Sara (DS) and (6) and Lucas 10

I guess that it depends on how careful you wish to be! For me, I find that if i

give myself a little latitude especially on special occasions that I am like to

be able to be more compliant the rest of the time. This is not to say that I

would go hog wild but ....I would have a little of what i love most. For

example, I would have a little of the turkey dressing, not worry about the

amount of wheat flour in the gravy for that day, and would eat the punpkin part

of the pumpkin pie because it is something I really love. Actually I would

probably make a modified pumpkin dessert using almond milk, molasses etc. - no

whipped cream because i don't love it.

and I would probably have a drink...What does not work for me is to get into

feeling deprived and then sorry for myself and left out....This way I am making

choices that i can live with. With this kind of thinking though the pitfall is

in defining too many days in the year as " special " and therefore I can have a

little of this and a little of that! Been there done that!

I guess it depends on how healthy your body is at the moment. If I had CFS or

some other problem for example then I would be much more careful.

I tend to get rather obsessive about things and then have trouble sustaining in

the long term so this seems to work for me. Just my opinion! Each to his/her

own.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Ann

PS: I am in Canada and already had our Thanksgiving a long time ago.

Hey O's -- Happy Thanksgiving! Now remember: No white mashed potatoes, be

careful w/bread-type in stuffings, no wheat in that pie crust, no corn

syrup in the pecan pie, no dairy ice cream or whipped cream, stay away from

beer, distilled liquor + white wine.... if you do indulge : remember to take

your deflect !!! Love,

Anti-adhesion therapy with DEFLECT

Posted By: D'Adamo

Date: Saturday, 27 May 2000, at 6:48 a.m.

In Response FRUSTRATION???? ()

NOTES ON DEFLECT

1. Deflect isn't going to allow you to regularly consume avoids any more

than a bullet-proof vest can't protect your head, arms or legs. It may have

some value as a 'morning-after' pill, but beyond that I would not posit...

2. It is used to primarily repair lectin damage, typically by lowering the

activity of lectins in the gut and blood. Some lectins are are not food

derived (such as bacteria, Candida, pollen, or even our own immune systems)

and dietary avoidance will not inhibit them.

3. One way this repair mechanism works is by 'prying off' lectins which have

already adhered to cellular receptors, such as insulin. Since insulin

blockage by dietary lectins has been linked to both insulin resistance and

obesity, using DEFLECT can help accelerate weight reduction in

diet-compliant individuals by speeding up the time it takes for the

regeneration of new insulin receptors or the 'cleansing' of the old ones.

This can take upwards of one year in some individuals who just follow the

diet, and explains why some dieters do not see weight loss in the early

stages of the program. It is because of this 'lectin-locking' function that

many other diets (which do have accelerated weight loss in their early

stages) cause their followers to lose muscle mass and fat -when what we want

is to lose only the fat. If the weight loss in ER4YT is occasionally slow,

at least it is healthy: Losing only body fat means that that a person's

weight loss can sometimes be only 50% as rapid as other programs which are

destroying muscle and fat. The problem is that muscle is hard to get back,

and any drop in muscle mass results in a lower metabolic rate, leaving the

dieter more likely to gain back the weight, but this time only in body fat.

4. Many lectins can amplify the effects of auto-immune disease, such as

thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, schleroderma, fibromylagia and pemphigus.

Research shows that some of the lectins which can cause this may actually be

manufactured by the body itself (serum lectins). By acting as sacrificial

molecules, Deflect can block this action.

5. Many people with 'food sensitivities' or 'leaky gut' have a phenomena

called 'active endocytosis' where prior lectin damage results in an

intestinal absorption surface that actively scoops up macromolecules.

Because these larger molecules are very antigenic, then tend to increase

local inflammation and thus increase the leaky gut. Again, by acting like

'sacrifical molecules' Deflect can block this, while also inhibiting

bacterial adhesion to the gut as well (bacteria use their own lectins to

attach to the intestines) a secondary cause of leaky gut. The amino sugars

in DEFLECT can also help prevent re-infection by H. pylorri and many

gram-negative bacteria which cause bladder infections, by flooding their own

lectin receptors, thereby preventing adhesion, the first step needed for

infection.

6. The amino sugars in Deflect encourage healthy bowel flora, although they

don not provide a source of flora themselves. These same amino sugars are

healthy enhancers of joint gliding surface and synovia as well.

Just catching up on being away from a computer since last Thu!

Anyway, I ate with my parents, aunt, uncle & cousin in the dining

room of the retirement place where they my folks in San . Very

nice place, and I had shrimp cocktail, prime rib, asparagus, peas,

and pumpkin pie (without the crust). It was very good, and I wasn't

groggy after. Like the rest of the family. <smile> I think I kept

with the plan pretty well, considering where I was. Temptation lurks

in every cupboard at their house...
