Re: Help for my Mom

[Guest guest]

Have you used Blue-Emu? I know when the knees are bad you can hardly walk. I had

arthroscopic surgery in my left knee because it was so bad I could hardly walk.

After a few weeks of physical therapy I have been able to walk normal again.

My Mom is 83 and has RA in both knees. She had a cortisone shot in June that

lasted only 2 weeks. She hurts so much sitting, laying and walking. Both knees

are swollen. She needs a good rub, so please give me some suggestions. We have

already tried Deep Heat and Icy Hot.

Glad I found this group.

I feel so bad for your mother and her suffering.  I buy " Bio-Freeze " at the

Physical Therapy where I go.  If you ice the area, then apply the Bio-Freeze,

it takes away the pain for a few hours.  It is a wonderful product for RA.

 

I hope this helps her.

 

Hugs,

Google: Antibiotic Protocol and " Frequently Asked Questions about the Antibiotic

Protocol.

5 years ago, I was dx with Scleroderma, a terminal disease which was complicated

by Pulmonary Fibrosis. Plus I had R/A & Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.  I was

told I had 5-6 months to live as my lungs were so sclerosed, I could not

breathe.  I went on the Antibiotic Protocol and today I am in complete

remission.  Not a sign of any disease whatsoever.  Try it Zoe~~~~Dolores

O24 is the best topical anti-inflammatory using natural oils that I've tried.

You can find information about it at www.024zone.com . It is cheaper to buy

from the site, but Shopper's Drug Mart in Canada sells it.

Zoe,

Try eliminating all night shade plants from your Mom's diet as well and see

if it helps; i.e., tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, & eggplant. Regards,

Hi Kathy,

So nice for your support and so happy that you do what you do and get results, I

have been down, that, all the things she should do road but she does not do it

consistently (as she feels very deprived). My only hope is that my own

improvement will build her confidence. The sad part I grapple with is she would

rather read her story books and chat about the news with people when she gets on

the computer and so she does not take the matter into her own hands as you and

I have which baffles me especially since she is a retired teacher (no lack of

smarts there but maybe a ton of brainfog and confusion). She wants everyone to

look after her and I just can't do that with my own health to recover. I want to

pull my already thin hair out sometimes.

You are even sweeter for checking out sites for me and I read that one when she

was first diagnosed and excitedly told her but it went in one ear and out the

other, I hate to say it but she can be a bit of a martyr but I won't give up.

She saved my life when I was in the hospital with Thycan.

Hi ,

I take LDN for fibromyalgia and it's turned my life around. I started LDN

before I started iodine, and it may be that I would have gotten the healing

I needed with just the iodine, but many of us are so ill that the assist

the LDN gives is needed to have healing. The way it works is that it

blocks the opioid receptors on the cells temporarily with the tiny dose

each day, which prompts the body to produce more endogenous opioids, or as

they are known, endorphins, which are the chemicals the body uses to heal

itself. So the mechanism is as close as Pharma ever gets to holistic,

because it simply allows the body to produce more of what it then decides

how to use to heal itself. Science is discovering that a severe deficiency

of endorphins is a shared characteristic of many if not all autoimmune issues.

If the iodine protocol will work for people, that would be my first choice,

but LDN is a good choice if more help is needed.

my best wishes,

--
