Vitamin C before and after will help prevent infection and speed

healing. The vitamin C is a catalyst in a reaction that results in

growth of cellulase, which holds cells together. I've heard good

things about colloidial silver as well.

For your child, mine frequently got tummy problems from drinking

water while wading in streams. s. boulardii clears it up very

quickly. It's a non-colonizing yeast that has a flush of growth

after you take it that overwhelms a lot of bad bacteria and crowds

it out. It also takes part in some sort of reaction that protects

the intestinal lining from toxins from bacteria in the gut. I get

it from wwww.myvitanet.com, where it comes in capsules that I let

the kids just chew up. It tastes like nutrtional yeast.

still fighting a flu virus (after a week). Fever comes and goes,

loose stools, upset tummy, vomit only a couple times. Been to the

doc, she says it's just the flu and give liquids, let it run it's

course, etc. I thought the anti-viral effects of the CO would help.

I'm also making chicken bone/feet broth. Any thoughts?

something to make him not so cranky!! I should take it too.)

emptive nutrition advice for quick healing and reducing the risk of

infection (the thought of being cut open in a hospital creeps me

out. There are germs and sick people there, for goodness sake!!!)? I

couple people I know got Staph from hospital visits. I don't want to

be one of them.

Cut way the heck back on carbs for awhile leading up to the surgery.

That'll reduce the risk of infection. Also, make sure to maximize

your intake of fat-soluble vitamins, C, probiotics, and nutrition

generally. And get plenty of sleep!

Also, do you know what time of day the surgery is scheduled for?

I don't know yet. They told me the day but not the time. Aren't surgeries

usually scheduled for early in the day?

Not necessarily. See if you can influence the time of day.

What day of day is good and why?

I would vote for as close to first thing in the morning as possible. Your

surgery is a lot less likely to be postponed and your surgeon will be

" fresh " and attentive - meaning he/she isn't going to be in a hurry to get

home b/c it's towards the end of their day.

I have Sjogrens.I don't use gum at night because I am afraid I'll choke. I

keep water at my bedside. I also have terrible problems with my eyes. I use

lacrilube for my eyes, eye drops during the day and Restasis twice a day. I

still have problems. I even had my tear ducts plugged to try to make my eyes

less dry.

There is a group for Sjogren's. It's called Talk Sjogrens. You can

subscribe:

_TalkSjo-subscribe _

(mailto:TalkSjo-subscribe ) Most people with RA have

secondary Sjogrens- but that doesn't make

it any less pleasant. The members are very nice and helpful.

The second has to do with Sjogrens Syndrome. I usually take a fresh piece of

Trident gum at bedtime and leave it in all night in case I wake up needing

to re-hydrate. Sometimes just a chew or 2 is enough but I keep a bottle of

water just in case. I've had more than 2 times I've awakened to find the gum

stuck tight to the roof of my mouth as if it were in my fingers. I can easily

go

for an hour without anything to swallow. Does anyone else have it this bad?

And, is there a group that works with that topic? I'm too lazy to look for it

myself. <g>

Hi,

I have sjogren's pretty bad also. I eat crushed ice constantly. My

husband bought me an ice shaver and it has been great. I take a cup of

ice with me where ever I go. I make a large cup at bedtime and when I

wake in the night with my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth I just

grab a handful of ice. It's great!

them myself, BTW. Should I consider taking he Vit B shot a few days

after the MTX or not? I'd hate for it to be counterproductive.

Hi, I've been mostly lurking here, but am interested in whether the

protocol would help my 12 y/o son. My heart goes out to you all who have had to

deal with so much with your children. Luke just has Asperger's syndrome. His

deficits are mainly social (he's gifted, but a bully magnet), ADHD-related, and

behavioral (very oppositional and depressed). There's a strong family history of

ADHD and nerdiness, as well as arthritis and fibromyalgia. Early on, we

discovered that we (I and 2 of my kids) should avoid dairy but haven't been

strict about it. Gluten would be a major battle. Would this protocol be

appropriate for him? And how do you find a doctor in your area?

My other question is about ABA. Luke has been in a behavioral hospital and now a

day treatment program utilizing ABA. However, he's so depressed that he doesn't

even care about the rewards we're offering (things he used to enjoy). His new

antidepressant should be kicking in by now. Shouldn't he be getting emotional

support, and being encouraged to do fun activities, etc. instead of having to

earn them?

Thanks for the advice,

Carol

Every child is so individual, but my son is definitely a kid. He

responds well to the protocol. He also responds really well to Floortime

type interventions and did not respond well to ABA.
