I'm looking for a few things to get her started.Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should only be eating raw living foods and drinking raw living vegetable juices. She should also be using the pancreas formula in the files. She can reverse this and beat it if she truly desires to. But she will need to be totally dedicated to healing herself and not relying on others to do it for her. Get her to join the list and we can all help and be a support group for her. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Do you eat cooked foods? Meat? Refined sugars? Dairy? Animal products? Refined flours? Lots of carbohydrates? Processed foods? Cooked grains? Nuts? Seeds? What do you drink? Coffee? Teas? Milk? Water? Sodas? Fresh Juices? Store bought Juices? Give me some info to go on here. Well wearing high heels can and does do some serious damage to the human body. What kind of shoes do you wear now? Any? You eating any raw garlic, ginger, taking any cayenne? What type and how much exercise do you get? You eating only raw foods (green leafy veggies and fruits)? Peace be with you Kaitlain. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I've had my implants out for almost eleven years . . . the peripherial neuropathy in my feet/legs is only now betting better. Due, I believe, to far infrared therapy. At one time, after my hubby had left for work, I was still in bed. I stretched one leg out, and felt somebody in bed with me . . . Turned out to be my other leg! You can test for peripherial neuropathy by having someone stroke your foot with something like a light fishing line (monofilament thread), or with a small, fine paint brush while you keep your eyes closed. You will probably find there are areas where you can feel, and others where you can't. This only becomes a problem when PN is so advanced that you don't know where your feet are beneath you - giving you a lot of trouble walking, or if your feet are injured and you don't know it. If implants are the only cause of PN, it should stop progressing once you get your implants out. However, there are other causes of PN . . . like diabetes. From what my daughter (occupational therapist) tells me, infrared therapy is the only therapy that is scientifically proven to improve PN, even after only one treatment.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Welcome to the club....I was really, really hoping that everything would just disappear when I got explanted! I guess I had unrealistic expectations too, but I think we all do, because we want healing so badly. Not to mention the fact that this was all very new territory....there weren't that many stories of healing going on at that time. I think we have a little bit better handle on the healing process at this point, at least for those who pursue detoxification relentlessly. It would be a tragedy if we didn't know how to deal with this devastation, wouldn't it? (after how many years of having implants on the market? Like 40?) You can have hopes for recovery...there is nothing wrong with that, and in fact, you NEED to have hope that you can get better. And that is what we can offer you...hope, because so many of us have really gotten better. It just takes a little bit longer than we'd like it to, but that's the opportunity for learning that has been presented to each one of us. It is a very, very valuable opportunity....always look for those silver linings in every cloud! Mine was getting closer to God and realizing what was really important in life. It's definitely not boobs. Hugs, Patty > It's funny, I've been like this (with multiple neuro symptoms for years) and > I wanted it all to disappear with the explant...unrealistic, huh?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Jeanne, It's all about adopting as healthy a lifestyle as possible and detoxing, detoxing, detoxing. This usually takes a lot more time and discipline than we'd like. However, if you'll ease into your new lifestyle by changing one item at a time, while you incorporating healthy items, you will find that it's not that traumatic a change. It's also important to reduce the number of chemicals/toxins in your every day life. Here are some of the healing therapies we've found help us. /files/Healing%20Therapies/ There are only a few conditions that I can think of right now that may require medical assistance . . . thyroid dysfunction (probably hypothyroid), a sleep disorder (goes with fibromyalgia), or a mycoplasma bacterial infection (responds to antibiotic therapy). Otherwise, there are no magic medications. You especially want to avoid steroids! The more aggressively you adopt a healthy lifestyle and detox, the sooner you'll feel better. I say this because it seems that when women are sick with implant related illness, the idea of doing anything seems overwhelming, not to mention confusing! Just start with the changes that you are ready to handle now. As you begin to feel better, you'll find that it becomes outline your program, create a schedule and list the products you need to support it. When you start taking new products, try one at a time and add another one every few days. If you do everything at once, you may react and not know which one is, or isn't, working for you. You also need to understand the herx effect. . . This is an increase in symptoms when you start moving toxins out. . . Don't be alarmed. Just know that the your herx is debilitating. You want to herx, but not to the point it becomes an aversion. Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up if you fail to follow your guideline from time to time. We all do! Keeping a daily journal describing what you're doing and how you feel. When you have a setback (as we all do) you can look back and see how far you've come. That will motivate you to keep going. If you have any questions about the healing programs, ask questions. The programs are there because we've tried them and found they help. If you come across other programs that you find are beneficial, please share them with us. I hope this helps!! Hugs and prayers, Rogene --- Gmmjfa@... wrote: > Thanks, Rogene.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 - Jeanne Yes, I would since a large percentage of us have. Neuropathy is one of those things that comes and goes for most of us even post explant. I had alot before and still have it sometimes now. It is gone most of the time. I think you can definitely expect an improvement at some point post explant, and there is a good chance that eventually it will disappear altogether.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Jeanne not necessarily. Some women have reported an immediate improvement in their neuropathy symptoms. I had severe brain fog and mine improved rapidly. So did the various stinging pains in my head and the terrible pains in my hands and feet. But like I said earlier, these often wax and wane. I get the symptoms back, but nothing like they were and then they leave again. STay encouraged. kathy > It's funny, I've been like this (with multiple neuro symptoms for years) and > I wanted it all to disappear with the explant...unrealistic, huh?

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Jeanne, I had neuropathy very BAD with my implants and it has improved tremendously after explant. It has been 2 weeks since my expalnt and on a scale of 1-10 my neuropathy was a 10 before , now about a 3-4!! There is hope after implants > I was curious if anyone had experienced neuropathy before explantation.
