Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Joanne, I think you should start making youtube videos, I bet you would have a huge fan response! Hugs, Carol To: fibromyalgiacured From: joannesford@... Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 10:28:15 +0000 Subject: Re: They are going to be checking me for ulcers in my small intestine. When I do not know, the NHS in England is .................... I cant even tell you. Anyway, I may have ulcers, I may not. I may have had them at one time or they may well have gone. All I can tell you is all my troubles with my bowel have gone, except when I have a flare, like I did two weeks ago but even then it was only very mild , what you need to undestand is what caused your ulcers. I know the doctors have many different explanations but the fact is this, ulcers only occur in the gut of people that have a lot of toxicity and who have an imbalance in their gut flora. this could be any toxicity, mercury, aliminium, radiation, sugar, starch, some kind of medication you have been taking etc, and the bacterias that are not working as they should be........................ well their are 2 trillion of them so I wont bother naming them all or trying to fathom which ones are not working correctly in you, instead I will say to you this. Feed your immune system your immune system was given to you by God and it is perhaps the most intelligent part of you and certainly the most valuble part of you when it comes to your health. Your immune system is capable of curing you of anything. How do I know. I know because there is no such thing as an incurable disease, people get cured from incurable diseaeses every day Now how can I be confident that feeding the immune system is the answer. I know that feeding the immune system is the answer because when I visit other sites I listen to other peoples shares and always, over and over the people that are gaining the most recovery are those minmising their chemical medication and instead focusing on nurturing their immune system. I have seen this everwhere I go, and better still I have seen it with myself and with other people in my life Now I dont know how much you follow the threads here but most of us are low carbing, and the same folk that are low carbibg in general eat only natural food and take certain supplements (In my case the supplements recommended by Bee) When we eat in this way and use the supplemnts also, drink plenty of water and use sea salt etc, our body just naturally go into detox mode and best of all it stays in it So what does this mean. Well it means that antioxidents travel through our body brushing up the toxicity, rather like a vacuum cleaner. As it collects the yucky stuff it takes it to our lymph nodes and other detoxing pathways and simply ensures that the next time we pee the toxins are taken out of us. yes, we dont really see or feel anything regarding this this just happens. Also if you use saunas or epson salts the body can more easily remove toxicity through the skin. If we sweat this removes toxins too We do not really notuce the actual detoxing apart from that we might pee more because we usually drink more water Where the change that we will notice might occur is in healing reactions Where as right now you may struggle with bowel problems these more than likely will start to improve but instead you might have other healing reactions, ie sweating, or a rash or feeling nauseus etc. It is hard to say what healing reactions you will have we all have different, but the good news is these are usually milder than our illness and whilst we are having the healing reactions we can actually see our symptoms from our original illness decreasing Now if you have read the posts that I have posted this week you will see that in the main I am insisting on Ketosis. That is eating less than 30g of carbs a day and eating a very lot of good fats daily. to understand this you will need to study Bees site more It is not always essencial to be in ketosis to get recovery and indeed a lot of people cannot achieve it, but if you are able to, in my view your body will detox muxh more effectively. anyway if you have a go andfail, do not loose sleep, just come back here and tell us what is happening we might be able to help you get a better result the main thing you need to remeber is this. as your body lets go of the toxic stuff in it its need for pathogens will go right down. Over the weeks and months your immune system will sort out all the pathogens in your gut and your ulcers will deminish. Just like my gut problmes have, I amy or may not have ulcers with my small bowel, but to be honest it does not really matter now, my bowel is healing anyway. And I have seem people with far worse gut problems than I had (And i had a lot of gut problems) and they have healed their gut, fibro and other problems using low carb, natural food and the good supplemnts Bee recommends I do hope this is helpful see my other emails as to how I get into ketosis. This process never takes more than 4 days and although i have to rest on those days it pays dividens once i am back in ketosis Love Joanne Subject: Re: [lyme disease tests/Joanne/Robin/ketosis To: fibromyalgiacured Date: Sunday, 13 March, 2011, 19:15 Hi, I am asking how you know you are not in ketosis during low carbs. The test strips are not always an indicator. Joanne can seem to know by how she feels, but I cannot see the results of that in my case. Also tiredness is an indicator when you are going low carb, as it takes a few weeks(or longer) for the body to start burning the fat. There has been some times especially at the beginning when I felt I needed more rest, but overall my energy level is much better. Some people feel worse in ketosis for a while as you are doing more detoxing. I think I have been in ketosis most all the time for the past 2 years. I get less than 50 grams carbs. There has been a few times the muscle pain got worse for a short time, but over all my pain lever was reduced. Bee does say if the healing reactions get too severe we can increase the carbs a bit, but I try to not increase them even with the buckwheat as mentioned by her, as I think staying in ketosis is the best in the long run. You may not have been getting enough fat, especially coconut oil-65 to 80 % calories should be fat. The sea salt does not bother me, but I get very little salt from other sources.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 ok Joanne. thanks Joy ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Mon, March 14, 2011 12:58:30 PM Subject: Re: Rosemarie is right about detox programmes that use vegetables, fibre and so on. I steer clear of anything like that The main things I use a coconut oil, lemon juice sea salt and water. but these are all part of Bees programme and everything, more or less I do in regards to detox is under her guidance. There are people on her board that have colitis and crohns and other issues like this, really they would be able to advise you better than I can My bowel problems have basically cleared up using her programme but mine could simply be IBS. When I was at the hospital last my consultant told me he supected crohns because of the joint problems I am having and because the ileocal valve problem I have can occur with Crohns. But as ever, with the NHS, he is now abroad and nobody knows when he will be back. I have a new consultant that I see in two weeks but whether or not he will refer me for tests for this or not I do not know. I can tell you another placve where you would be able to speak to more folk with Colitis/Crohns etc, in addition to Bees board. there are lots of people with these conditions at www.kickas.org I went there about my arthritic problems (quit a few people in my familiy have Reactive Arthritis and they discuss that in detail there) but what I found out there, that I did not knowis that many people with Arthritis have Crohns/Colitis etc this was all new to me at the time. Many of the folk their with these conditions along with the Arthritis and some with Fibromyalgia were using carol Sinclairs low starch diet and some were using the Selective Carbohydrate Diet and some were using Bees diet. I looked at all these options and settled with Bees diet, but the other two diets I have mentioned do also help people with Crohns/ Colitis etc and the people on that site would be more than happy to send time explaining to you the pros and cons of each But listen I am no expert but really I do think juice detoxes, vegetable detoxes, indeed any that include large amounts of fibre, etc are not great, I really do prefer the coconut oil etc. bee can advise you a lot more than I can regarding all this Love Joanne > > From: cindy_martian <cindy_martian@... > <mailto:cindy_martian%40yahoo.com> > > Subject: Re: [lyme disease tests/Joanne/Robin/ketosis > To: fibromyalgiacured > <mailto:fibromyalgiacured%40yahoogroups.com> > Date: Sunday, 13 March, 2011, 19:15 > > Hi, > I am asking how you know you are not in ketosis during low carbs.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yes this is all great information Joanne. It seems like most of our food intolerances are carbs like you said. I read that is true because many of us don¹t have the DNA to deal with grains. There are grains in bread, pasta, and rice etc. Some of us, many of us, are throwbacks in our DNA to meat eaters who hunted meat and ate only vegetables/roots from the ground and berries. Grains were not introduced to many northern countries and so some of us my don¹t have the ability to tolerate it. For example, my heritage is Norwegian. Very northern country with that DNA. They don¹t have a long growing season so they existed mainly on meat with only short summers for berries and vegetables etc. of couse this is a huge generalization but if you want to read about that you can look up Eat Right For Your Blood Type. A book that¹s out there. When we have food intolerances, then we eat that food, we can swell up, retain water in the tissues, and that is painful to us. Water retention looks like fat on our bodies. We can have 20-40 pounds of water on our midsection from bloated tissues that pushes the fat out from our bodies. If we removed the food we can¹t tolerate we can lose inches and pounds so fast it will make you feel in awe. I lost 30 pounds once in about 25 days. And I felt amazing. I was juicing vegetables only. Celery, parsley, tomatoes, watercress, any vegetable I felt like using that tasted good. Think V8 juice, or green juice. The problem was I could not live only on juiced veggies forever. I did it for about a year and I felt fantastic but of course I couldn¹t maintain it forever. I thought I had to do that, living ONLY on juiced vegetables. Not true. I did not know about food intolerances. But this nutritionist I am reading talks about the veggies, food intolerances and eating low carb. Lazarides. WWW.health-diets.net is her website. This made so much sense to me. Now I know I can juice veggies like before but also eat others foods and I can stay low carb as well. She shows you how. I¹ve always struggled with ten pounds that won¹t budge, gaining 3-4 pound sometimes in one meal, and the next suffering tons of pain. I can barely bend my fingers sometimes and I can never get my rings off without soap or cream on my hands because my hands swell so badly. My ankles are always swollen. So to try and deal with that I am right now juicing celery and parsley with tomatoes, cilantro, greens. Watch out for tomatoes though. They may be a food intolerances for many people because they are acidic. I already can get my rings off. My ankles are still swollen but its only been two days. My lower back has less pain when I bend over too. So I am very very hopeful again. I can go back into my history and see why sometimes I felt so amazing, and sometimes why the pain increased so badly. Ketosis definitely made me feel better. Well guess what? I did not have any food intolerances in that food plan then. But I find it very hard to stay in ketosis now. I did it for 5 years though with no water weight at all. I stayed unbloated and felt far less pain. I know for a fact dairy is a foood intolerance for me. As is wheat. Wheat for me is a huge problem. My sister also suffers with wheat intolerance will get migraines if she eat wheat/bread/pasta. So I avoid crackers, bread, pasta, rice, and any dressings that have wheat in them. This helped me a lot!!!!!!!! So, great information Joanne. I just wanted to add my two cents.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi joanne: I am so sorry to hear how you are feeling. I grew up in Canada with your exact same medical system and yes they do write everything down. And yes it is permanent. My sister had an incident with a doctor who prescribed a drug to her that she was allergic to and he had it in his file but he forgot. That¹s what he said to her. He forgot. She almost died. I said why don¹t you sue him. She said oh no, once you do that no other doctor will take you. How¹s that for helpless. I once read that many fibro people feel helpless. They grew up feeling helpless, with abusive situations. That¹s what exacerbates the illness now in the present. I think you feel helpless with your husband and your father. At times. Not always. When you don¹t feel helpless you are up, and busy and feeling great. So, I think maybe, when you feel helpless, try and remember who your real father is. Turn to God when you are feeling helpless. We are never helpless in reality. We are just helpless against this man made world and worldly problems. But when we get there, in the end, who will feel the results the of their life and be happy about it? Also, if I was you, I would lower my expectations from the medical community. It sounds like it has become a total bureaucracy of parasites who live off the system for their menial jobs and its the only power they have in their life. They too feel helpless when they meet fibro people like us. They don¹t know what to do with us and when they feel helpless they get angry, they say hurtful things and sometimes they think they are helping you. I have a mother like that. She will say really hurtful things and tell me its for my own good. I have to toughen up she says, I have to learn to roll with the punches she says. Well I never did learn to do that but I did learn to turn to God for my comfort. Then I don¹t feel helpless. I hope this helps. I know that you know that we are all here for you. We do understand your frustrations and your helplessness and your anger and your grief. I can only say I am praying for you, I am sending you love and God is in your heart with you right now.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi : Nice to hear from you. Its always nice to hear that others are doing all they can to avoid drugs. I have not heard of one person who gets relief or is helped by drugs. My sister also almost died from them 2 years ago. I don¹t even take aspirin. I have a sluggish liver and aspirin makes me worse, more tired and bloated. So I just put up with the pain. However, I juice raw veggies and that really makes a difference in my life. I also make veggie soups and eat organic. When I eat otherwise I notice how bad I feel. My digestion is not good so enzymes also really helps. Eating a lot of vegetables, cooked or raw, plus enzymes might clear up your hemmoroids permanently. I used to have them really bad. Also, if I ate cheese they would come back and really badly too. So, if you eat cheese quit that for awhile and see if it makes a difference. Also try the veggies and see if you don¹t get past this problem I would like to know the results ok? I hope you have great day down under. rosemarie > > > > > > Hi Rosemarie and Joanne, > Lovely to hear from you both and I wish you all the best. > I've found the only help I can get for the Fibro problems is 1.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi Rosemarie and Joanne, Lovely to hear from you both and I wish you all the best. I've found the only help I can get for the Fibro problems is 1. Being Positive at all times, and 2. Forget the Doctors. I hardly ever see them anymore. What for?? The only thing I take these days is Magnesium, Tramadol and Aspirins. The crap they fill out in prescriptions is one thing I'd never ever take anymore. I would have to get a prescription for Tramadol so I don't worry about that now and I feel so much better for just sticking to mainly the Aspirins. The Magnesium is wonderful and helps my muscles calm down. I don't do acupuncture anymore either but I do my own massage of arms and legs or wherever else it needs. I only take about 1 aspirin a day as well. I used to take heaps of Panadeine Forte and overdosed on that and almost died. Yesterday I was massaging my arms and it really helped. I sleep well these days and wake up refreshed. A positive attitude sure helps too. I thank God every day for His ever present help. My only problem is haemmorroids, and that's what I use the aspirins for. I've had them for years but the Aspirins help them to recede. I could have an operation but I'm afraid of the anasthetic unless the Doctor could just use a needle to deaden the pain. When I had my gallbladder out years ago the surgeon warned me always to let a surgeon know about my condition re:- anasthetics and their danger. So Aspirins and some personal massage on my muscles is what keeps me going as well as a positive attitude and a bit of laughter. I am so blessed to have two beautiful dogs who love and adore me and my son who is now in his early 40's who is on a carer's pension for looking after me (just helping me in the house and driving me to the supermarket. He's great) Well going back to bed now. I got up early and it's a cold day/night. I love autumn and winter though. It's easier to keep warm than try and cool down here in Australia.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Excuse me but i am one of those people that are helped by drugs, in fact it was just put to the test when i was out of meds for 8 days waiting for medicaid to approve and they have a glitch and it took that long to fill. so i knew my meds were working when i didn't have them. so please don't make blanket statements that can hurt or unfairly influence someone else.    Tree ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Thu, March 31, 2011 7:02:18 PM Subject: Re: Re:  Hi : Nice to hear from you.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I forgot to eat all but one meal yesterday, had just gotten back from my trip to oklahoma. I'm glad my daughter was with me. I did great (her and I) on the way down. but on the way back I let her down. then got home and slept, for got to eat. at midnight I started throwing up. mind you while I was there I had a variety of food, and I usually dont' have a variety of food. so I don't know why I threw up unless it was having one sandwich in a 24 hour period. This morning i am still shaking. that can't be good.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi nancy. I would just watch your current state. If you return to normal in 24 hours you just upset your system temporarily by not eating for such a long time. But if it continues for a couple of days I would consult someone to see what¹s going on. I think with fibro when we expience a trauma, like not eating, traveling, exhaustion, emotional upsets etc, it can manifest in such a myriad of ways it gets confusing and upsetting. We never know what¹s next or why and I have finally just gotten used to it. I wait it out and see what happens. It usually resolves into the same old stuff. Then I tell myself, ooooooh, its my fibro again. Let us know how you get on by tomorrow. rosemarie > > > > > > I forgot to eat all but one meal yesterday, had just gotten back from my trip > to > oklahoma. I'm glad my daughter was with me.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 thanks Joanne. i read the posts every chance i get but I don't usually say much. i try to take as much help as i can. i got my hard back book the adkins diet while I was on vacation. I ate without bread while I was gone. and i haven't been eating much. i don't crave food. now at home I have gone back to the bread and the stuff in the middle because I have not made my house (kitchen) ready for the changes i want to pursue. I was glad today wasn't a work day because I was afraid of the rest of the day because of my vomiting. I have eaten twice today. and I will eat again before bed. I don't dare not eat now because of what happened last night, and since I don't know why it happened. I am going to eat three times a day. I am still not good at what food to take that don't need refrigeration to work with me, just in case I really need to eat. going to begin taking water with me. i know that. I really appreciate you guys, when I feel like my family just looks at me like " not again " then I know where to turn. i'll keep reading and you guys keep posting and I'll post when I need help. I was kinda raised to not need help. but that's another subject.

I do know a bit about the nutrition that can help but not really much about the medications or other treatments. Nutrition takes time. I found that when I first changed my diet I got cravings. My symptoms were better but I got cravings, even withdrawel sometimes, headaches, the shakes and so on. To cope with this I had to spend a lot of time in bed. I could do. My children were grown up and although my husband is very poorly, he is still quit sensible. he does not pester and asks for help when he needs it so I can always be relaxed around him because I know there are no mind games Another thing I had to do was get real selfish. not cruel or anything like that but really in tune with myself. I had to think all the time in the most gentle and loving way what my needs were. I started to nurse myself like I was a wee child. I dis not let other people know. If people know you are taking care of yourself they like to spoil it LOL I know that sounds synical but I have noticed that folk often do not like me doing well and changing. Folk from my past see me as a servent, somebody that meets everybodies needs. To change and get well I had to kind of pretend I was not changing too much, when I was with folk that would sabbotage my efforts, but whilst I was with them I was constantly planning how soon I would do something for me. Eventually I manged to get away from all the nutty folk in my life. It took a long time but I did. I now run my own business and I dont really have to answer to anybody. This took tonnes of stress off me Like I said it was hard at first because I had no support. My husband would have supported me if he could, but he could not, but to be honest in some ways it was better that he could not help me because it made me more determined But i had to stop being grimly determined. Have I ever told you how angry I used to be. I was a wapping nut LOL. I was angry sad frustrated, full of guilt full of blame resentment, every negative feeling you could imagine. when I look back to that time I have to be very empathic towards myself, I was a very poorly person and nobody had ever helped me with my illness and I did not know that this inner turmoil was making things worse for me, well I di know, but I did not know what to do about it Coming here helped. Back then there was only a few of us Jill, , RoseMaire, Carol and I think, but not many others. I used to just sit in the background reading. I was kind of ashamed of how messed up I was, I am not just saying it I was one proper messed up cookie. But in the end I did share and all the folk I have just mentioned helped me more than you can ever imagine I had already started low carbing and was doing well with it, but I was still addicted to starch and when I ate it I had really bad flares. I had given up smoking but still craved cigarettes, and I was really bad with the diet coke. and I am telling you you have no idea how many meds I was on. I know you could not guess because I could not guess, The doctors had me on all sorts Jill helped me a very lot with the addiction stuff. She belonged to a support group very similar to mine and it was great to be able to share my experiences with that program with somebody here that new what i was talking about RoseMarie helped me intergrate more and more good natrual foods into my diet. It seems so obvious now that I should eat natural foods but this is how green I was when I came here, I did not know eating natural could help , is a true friend to me, she has on many occasion help me out, especially with my spiritual life. I love her deeply, she is one of a handful of people that does understand me in this area of my life. cindy is another person that supports me with my spiritual understanding and she also helps me with my diet. It was cindy that tomd me about Bees diet and Carol, who I new the least then, is now becoming one of my main advocates. Carol is working hard with the diet too and she and i seem to have ever so much in common. Like the others she is a real freind And then there is you. You come and go. you have been with us so long, i do hope our shares help you. I know that in the early days I fould a lot of what was shared here was a bit 'out there' a bit 'above my head' a bit 'too deep' but as time has gone by I have really beun to appreciate just how loving and supportive this site is, there really is no onther site like it.

Help you like we do each other All my love Joanne Subject: GC Maff To: fibromyalgiacured Date: Wednesday, 30 March, 2011, 14:53 Hi everyone, Me again, during some research online last night I came across several articles and youtube videos stating that a compound called GC Maff is the cure for xmrv and hiv and various cancers, but the likelyness of it becoming available to everyone is slim to none. However there is a doctor in Belgium right now in Brussels treating some patients with it. His name is Dr. Kenny DeMeirleir . If you want to look all of this yourself just type his name into the Youtube search engine and you can watch these latest videos.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I am getting the things on the list after work today, because I will have money today. i read one email that says there is flavored cod liver oil, if I had the chance I'd rather sample them both to see which one is less icky, but I don't suppose that will be an option, thanks so much for all the love you send my way Joanne. God has always been a part of my life, and I always rely on HIM, and He knows that, every day , every breath I take. thanks so much! Joy ________________________________ To: fibromyalgiacured Sent: Sun, April 24, 2011 4:58:57 PM Subject: Re: Re: All i hope is that this diet works for you and you end up enjoying it as much as I do. It has given me my life back and the freedom from all that pain and brain fog means I can enjoy life now too I am one of the lucky ones, because so long as I stick to the diet and the supplements my illness goes very very mind, and it means i have spare time LOL (For 20 years I had no idea what speare time was) Anyway, as I gained this spare time I started to journal, and I started to work out what I want out of life. Little by little I was able to build up my business. It was hard, well not hard, time consuming, thats the right word, but little by little in my spare time I built my business up. Imagine my delight when I could say 'up yours' to working for other people LOL And as my business grew, more and more great things started happening. I was able to aford a car and other things we needed and because I was in control of 90% of my life I became a very content person Anybody, anybody in the world could do my business. Perhaps not 100% the same but something similar I am sure All I do is go to the wholesalers and other places and buy what ever is worth it for 50p. And then I go on the market, throw the whole lot on, so it looks like a big jumble sale and hang up a sign saying everything is £1 (or 6 for £5). I go to markets where I know there will be lots of immigrants and they love my bargain stall, they just love it LOL I know other people that do stuff like this. One friend makes cakes and sells them, another grows plants and sells them, another makes jewelry Most of these friends still have a job and just do this one day a week or something like that. But me I do it all the time and I love it Whilst I am trotting around these markets I meet load of good spiritual folk who I regard as my friends and these people help me out no end. they give me tonnes of stuff for half price and they tell me where to go to get bargains for myself, like for food and clothes It is so freeing and I really think most people with fibro need a job where they feel free It is not easy, because whilst we are building up a business we also need an income, so also need to work but hinestly when we do not have much pain and our symptoms are lower all this gets much easier I think about you a lot throughout the day and I pray to God and I ask him to help you with your diet so you can get well and have the chance to change your life. I know God can and will help you with thi because he has helped me so very very much, in zillions of ways I want so much to just give you this what I have, and to give it to everybody that visits this site. I so wish I could. but listen God is with you and He will help you with this I just know He will when you struggle , we all do you know, at first we all do struggle. We buy the wrong things, we eat the wrong things, we cannot understand so many things, and it can be so frustrating, but when you struggle please think of me, and know I struggled terribly for many years but I got there in the end , you have so many friends here and they will really help you, really help you. The folk here on this site know so much that is worth knowing. I often just burst into tears because I suddenly realise how lucky I am to have all these wonderful friends. And you have them too, and honestly, hand on heart, there is no better, no more fun treatment for fibro than these things we do here I send you all my love with fingers crossed Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Love Joanne Subject: Re: Re: -Codliver oil To: fibromyalgiacured Date: Sunday, 24 April, 2011, 21:10 I haven't purchased it yet, that will be tuesday. i wasn't aware I had the choice of flavors.
