Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I don`t know what to say.You made me cry happy tears.Thankyou,and i`m not going anywhere.Hard to get on sometimes. > > Tina > > It is my view that CFS and Fibro are similar conditions to ADHD and Autism. The main difference is that we being from the last generation and our mothers not exposed to the same level of toxicity as we have been, we did have some gut bacteria and therefore developed more normally whne younger, but many children being born today to women that have these illnesses are actually being born with a far worse gut state than we were and further more they are immediately after birth being introduced to toxins ie via milk formula, mothers milk which is toxic from the diet, immunizations, antibiotics and so forth, hense we see the epidemics of these illnesses in children and they appear more severe than what say I and others here experienced as children. We know we had these illnesses or a similar thing, some of that is not all of us, but we perhaps did not have them at the same level as is appearing in this generation > > I also believe CFS Fibro and similar illnesses are a pre-alzheimers pre-parkinsons or pre-cancer state, and perhaps other degenerative illnesses too > > We are all on a continuum and this is why the therapies that work for one illness are working for them all, they are essentially the same thing, caused by the same things and that is poor diet, high toxicity, medications that interfer with gut bacteria and the immune system and stress > > All of us as mothers, and carers really need to get to grips with Bees work, the Weston Price foundation studies and the GAPS diet. These organisations have already figured out what we need to know and to be honest beyond what these websites are saying there is not a great deal more we need to know because these women, these mothers have cracked it > > This is not a genetic thing it is a generational thing being passed down not by us, not by our genes, nor by our infections, it is being passed down because the food chain and the toxicity in our environment is weakening the gut and if a person has a weak gut they will have a weak immunity and that weak immunity leads to degeneration in the brain, nervous system and else where. If we rebuild the gut using the correct nutrition and avoiding the toxicity that all these fantastic scientists keep giving us, we will all get well, and our children will get well and the coming generations in our families will be well also, and from this we can then pass this on to other mothers > > But this is where we need to start with the mothers. The mother has to be the rock of the family the happy at peace rock, not the driven to distraction rock. we have to be the one that is well, because when we are well we can move mountains much more easily than we can when we are poorly > > I do not use anything other than the diet to get me well keep me well. I use NLP and stuff to assist the healing but it is only assisting, it is not curing. the diet is not just curing the illness it is taking away my future illnesses too. My family all have Parkinsons or other low dopamine illnesses. I first managed to reverse this in me and from that learning have been able to heal the others > > I do hope this is making sense. I do know this sounds too good to be true but there are women, mothers, all over this internet who have got themselves well and cured their family with the diet alone > > I love you so and I know you deserve this, please please please stay with us, you are a good good woman > > Love joanne > > > > > > Tina said............... > > > > > Yes,this looks simular. > > .........................................t part of my NLP thing includes eye rolling.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I know what you are saying.I am kind of going through this with my husband and my family.They don`t go along with what i`m doing.Last night we got into it.My salvation,is him going to work,becasue i don`t want to be around him all the time.It is stressfull.When he was on vacation,the same time the kids were home,after 2 weeks,i`m lucky to have any sanity left.If he decides to leave me,I don`t care.As far as how it will affect my daughter,I care about that,but,even if i`m poor,and have piece,that is better to me.I`m not the wife he wants.Someone too stay in the kitchen all day,baking from scrath and be ready to put out when he walks through the door.I have been 26 years raising kids.18 with a special needs child and had a late in life baby.I`m not spending all my free time in the kitchen.Don`t know where I would go though,if we break up.I have not worked in years.Finding childcare would not be easy to get a job.My son is almost a legal adult,so I would be paying for adult care and child care,and that would take my whole paycheck,or probably cost more than I even would make.If,I get anyone to call me at all.If you have been out of work for along time,they don`t even bother with you. ________________________________ To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Fri, March 9, 2012 7:18:14 AM Subject: Re: Re: Tina:  Tina I am experiencing some of the same right now.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I know there was story not too long ago of this care provider that robbed a lot money from the old man she was caring for.She had worked at a local photography studio.She took a lot of photos of my daughter.Then,the store kicked them out.Not sure why.I am afraid of abuse,which is why,I have not had respite care,and the thought of a group home,scare me to death.Especially,since he has no form of communication.The thing is,people are toxic ticking timb bombs.Eating GMOS and processed food,and not sure they could handle a meltdown.Maybe,they would just be cruel for no reason.I don`t trust very many people.I`m not going to be able to take care of him forever.I`m pushing 50 now.Do I feel confident,he would be ok in a group home?No,but not much I can do about it. > > > > Tina > > > > http://www.msgtruth.org/autism.htm > > > > This article explains how MSG can raise glutamate in the nervous system and > >worsen fight or flight, Autism Epilepsy etc, it also affects CFS and Fibro > > > > MSG and glucose both raise glutamate > > > > Glutamate is excitory and my experience with it is that it wore me into the > >ground.

I am fortunate that my priest does. He has celiac and eats much the same way as me. he has had cancer 3 times but made excellent recoveries every time. He is 70 years old but has the manner and spirit of a much younger person. sadly there are not many like him, not as wise or as cheerful. The Parkinsons, that is the result of not eating saturated fat. We are heading for an epidemic. There are other factors, ie eating grains is not a good idea, nor fruit or pasturised milk products. We have a line of parkinsons on my dads side, and guess what, my aunt who has married into this family, her family have no trace of parkinsons, but she has eaten our way, and bingo, yep she has it!!!! Her son reminds me of my dad more than anybody so he is a potential, his wife has crohns and she eats the traditional way of our family too. So the moral of the story is, when marrying into our family check out the diet!!!!! The 12 steps might help your friend. It is very hard to give up carbs if we are addicted. Being around others with the good sense to do the same helps. My family all have addictions cigarettes food alcohol, drugs prescription drugs etc. One thing we are taught when we are at 12 step groups is how to detach from the addictive lifestyle. I used to get enraged at all this addiction, so mad it sent me batty, and sure enough before the day was out I was binging on a chocolate cake because of it LOL Now I do not get drawn into anybodies addictions, not even my childrens addictions. I expect everybody in the world to have addictions, that way if they dont then it is a bonus. I allow folk their space, and let them all get on with it. My addictions are the most important thing, because I know that my addictions are the only thing that can ger between me and my God It all sounds kinda tough when you first enter 12 step groups, it sounds heartless, but it isnt. the fact is some of us have made our mind up the days for suffering are over. Nobody else can walk that path with you. I know i have to walk it alone. and count my blessings that I am a good example to folk and know some will see the light through me. for them that dont, even my children all I can do is ask god to send them another helper My mom is drinking less, my sister has cut back on her prescription drugs, my dad has lowered his L-dopa and eats well, my children eat well, my son has given up smoking, my daughter does not drink but has not given up smoking. I never nag any of them, I just get on with my quitting and it does set the standard. But Tina, we are different to other folk, we have the Holy Spirit helping us, all of these folk they have to turn to Him too. Some will some wont, we have no control over it. But god does hear our prayers and if we make room He does bring in helpers for them, proper helpers helpers, not silly fools Anyway, I think you know what I mean since I sense the Spirit is with you Love Joanne ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Friday, 9 March 2012, 13:04 Subject: Re: Re: Tina:  She does nt even know how to use a computer.She was a teacher,but hasn`t taught for 20 years.Her husband has this old dinasaur of a computer,it is his.When she has tried to get on it,she keeps getting pop ups and doesn`t know how to get them off.I have offfered to help,but,it seems,she always has an excuse,or she doesn`t feel good.I know,she probably doesn`t feel good,but,she had a lot of good days there for awhile,she could have got on then.I don`t know,if she will do the diet.She grew up on potatoes and mac and cheese.Everyone around her eats the foods she loves and hard for her to stop eating them.Hard for me,but,I think the being in pain for 20 years might be evenough to motivate me to try it.I mentioned something to her about what Jesus says to getting well.Prayer and fasting?Her father is a pastor,so she knows what he says.Funny,to me,how these pastors and people that grew up in the church know so little about healthy food.Her dad has parkinson`s.None of them try fasting,or eating healthy or prganic.I know it can be expensive,but cutting out all the junk food helps save money like you said,but I can`t get my husband to eat this way,so I have to buy and prepare seperate meals.So does she. ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Fri, March 9, 2012 7:32:21 AM Subject: Re: Re: Tina:  I know what you are saying.I am kind of going through this with my husband and my family.They don`t go along with what i`m doing.Last night we got into it.My salvation,is him going to work,becasue i don`t want to be around him all the time.It is stressfull.When he was on vacation,the same time the kids were home,after 2 weeks,i`m lucky to have any sanity left.If he decides to leave me,I don`t care.As far as how it will affect my daughter,I care about that,but,even if i`m poor,and have piece,that is better to me.I`m not the wife he wants.Someone too stay in the kitchen all day,baking from scrath and be ready to put out when he walks through the door.I have been 26 years raising kids.18 with a special needs child and had a late in life baby.I`m not spending all my free time in the kitchen.Don`t know where I would go though,if we break up.I have not worked in years.Finding childcare would not be easy to get a job.My son is almost a legal adult,so I would be paying for adult care and child care,and that would take my whole paycheck,or probably cost more than I even would make.If,I get anyone to call me at all.If you have been out of work for along time,they don`t even bother with you. ________________________________ To: " fibromyalgiacured " <fibromyalgiacured > Sent: Fri, March 9, 2012 7:18:14 AM Subject: Re: Re: Tina:  Tina I am experiencing some of the same right now.

I am a good person with good intention and a big heart and very capable too, but in this crazy world often that is not enough and so I do my best and then have to say Lord I have done my best, now it is over to you Love joanne ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Friday, 9 March 2012, 11:40 Subject: Re: Tina MSG and glutamate  Years ago,I went to a DAN practioner and had him on different diets,but,he is a picky eater.Since my husnand has the food he wants in the house, will get into it.I had him on an Adkins type diet for years trying to get rid of candida.Another problem is school,where they go out in the community and take them out to eat.They don`t always fowwow the diet.He gets new teachers and AIds and they don`t know his diet.The only way he is getting glutamate is if it is in the french fires he gets.I don`t know if I can get him off them.He is nearly grown,so helps himself to what he wants.Got into it with my husband last night.Had to go out of town for vision therapy.Was late getting home.Had my eye dialated.Getting some new glasses.I know,I should be doing the exercises too.Takes along time to do them with my daughter.I need tinted lenses for my light sensitivity.It is better with coconut oil,but I still have it.I`m thinking my kids will need tinted lenses for the Irlens syndrome. > > Tina > > http://www.msgtruth.org/autism.htm > > This article explains how MSG can raise glutamate in the nervous system and >worsen fight or flight, Autism Epilepsy etc, it also affects CFS and Fibro > > MSG and glucose both raise glutamate > > Glutamate is excitory and my experience with it is that it wore me into the >ground.
