Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Welcome Kathy! You have made a very wise decision! As you are new it would be wise for you to realize that this does take committment, which it sounds like you have :-) and dedication. Stay in your points range even though sometimes it might seem like not much is happening and don't be discouraged if you have a week with a small loss or none at all. It happens to everyone sooner or later. Before you know it, those 30lbs will just have melted away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Can't answer 1 and 3, but can answer 2. I've had no stomach issues at all on Cortef, but I always take it about half an hour after eating. --- ramonmel77 wrote: > Hi, I am new here & I have a lot of questions. > 1) Has anyone followed the protocol in 's > book, 21st Century > Stress syndrome?

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hi I've been chelating per the Cutler protocol for about a year (on and off). It's hard to be sure how much metal is actually being removed without doing all kinds of expensive tests, but I believe it's a good way to chelate mercury. But as it relates to adrenal issues, I just finished a saliva cortisol test showing moderately weak adrenals. Whether Hg is the cause is unknown (but quite possible). -m > 3) Has anyone tried heavy metal chelation with any success? > > Thanks, I look forward to your responses. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi Karla, Yes, LC means low contact/little contact. Don't let your brother/mother put you on the defensive about not calling. Sometimes it doesn't seem to work so well to try to explain -- and you don't owe anyone an explanation. Just let your actions speak -- and say things like - I've been very busy, I've been tied up with lots of things, etc. Any time they draw you in, your words can be used against you! And, yes, finding a GOOD therapist can be invaluable. Stay in touch with this board, too, and you'll get lots of support.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 that is a great list. For my dad I avoid all family functions. I just can't stand the way he tries to bait me when we are in public or around family. None of my siblings nor my mother have ever acknowledged the seriousness of this so I don't feel obligated to show up. I generally don't enjoy stuff like this anyway so it is all good.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hello everyone, I'm new here, and thought a quick introduction might be a good idea. We are both in our late 60's and up until recently, relatively healthy. My husband was diagnosed 5.5 years ago with Parkinson's but that was recently changed to LBD. My father died from Parkinson's so I am very familiar there, but LBD is new to me. Being a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (retired), I had to research to learn what was happening, and what we have to look forward to. It is not easy seeing a person you love and have known most of your adult life make the changes we are experiencing, but you all know that. I am concerned about how we will manage in time to come. The cognition has already become a real problem. Communication between us is also hard with the mumbling making it hard to understand him, and his hearing is also impaired. I find this very frustrating at times, but I will get through this. Honestly though, I am tired of yelling and, saying " what? " , " you have to speak up/clearer " . I realize there is no answer for this as he is refusing a hearing aid and he can not help the mumbling. He is still working, self employed, but, the LBD has started to affect the business, with financial difficulties a result. This is necessitating that he retire in the very near future. Family is there, but, they are not accepting the severity of the dementia and cognition problems. I keep trying to instill this, however, I feel like I am talking to a brick wall. He has his good days, and, when it is a bad day, he just gets quiet, which is normal for his personality as he has always been a quiet person who does not talk much. He has them believing he is just fine. Thanks for letting me vent. I'll probably lurk for a while to learn more. Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
