My supplement protocol already online as a URL

http://www.folkarts.com/idef/supplement_schedule.htm ),

I should add that I restricted my cholestrol intake to < 30 mg/day

immediately after onset (because I had a severe PSYCHOLOGICAL reaction to

several foods that were all high in cholestrol ... and decided that my body

was trying to tell me to avoid those foods! In hind sight, this low a

cholestrol intake probably caused me to avoid blood thickening foods)

I'm working on a summary of treatments for acute mountain/altitude

sickness - which includes no coffee, no alcohol, eliminate smoking etc... I

believe that we need to treat CFS with the same rules (working off model of

mycoplasma induced blood thickening that severely drops oxygen in the

blood)... I will post the URL when done... It was interesting to not that

nitrous oxide in the blood increases with altitude sickness -- exactly what

many CFSers experience...

A boy about that age held the door for me at the post office the other

day. It was very refreshing to see that chivalry is not dead. Sue

Ken, I can so relate to your childhood with alcoholics. Mine was no

easy ride, but I survived it and that was my main goal. I vowed to

be different from them and have done that to this day, not drinking,

not smoking, and being good to my children. I would just tell

myself as a child that I am NOT going to do that to my children if I

am blessed with them which I was. I am soooo sorry that they robbed

you of that. However, you did survive and that is so important. I

have gone through lots of therapy to deal with my isses and the most

important thing I have taught is that sometimes we have to cut out

those that are related to us by blood because they are bad for us

and they are NEVER going to change. You cannot change others, only

yourself. I found my family members that drink are poison in my

life and did just that, cut them out. I have limited contact with

them and always on my own terms, no alcohol is allowed, no smoking,

etc., and I prefer to visit them so if they become verbally abusive

I can just get up and leave. They have come to accept my resolve in

not taking their verbal abuse anymore. At first, I admit it was

heck, but I am a stronger better person today and my life is better

because I have this group and wonderful friends and of course my

spouse and children. I surround myself with those who love me for

me and do not abuse me. I hope you can do the same. There are some

fabulous books out there. One is called " Adult Children of

Alcoholics " I believe, good reading. I hope this helps and I hope

that you will just stop focusing on your past family and focus on

your family of today, i.e., the RA group, your spouse, friends, good

people. Forget those that hurt you. They are not worth your time

or energy. I know this sounds harsh, but you do not deserve to

continue to be verbally abused or emotionally abused. YOU are in

control of your life, NOT THEM. Remember that always.

Good luck.

Tracie
