Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Hi Jan, So good to see you again here. Just recently NAET has come to my attention again. My physician's assistant brought it up as an option; and because of comments from Marge (very knowledeable lady who is moderator of The Road Back Foundation), I am looking at it with new eyes. Marge reported on the Bulletin Board that it has had a profound effect on getting rid of her allergies -- and this lady has been through much, about 20+ years of arthritis and now is doing extremely well. I'm sure she would be happy to discuss this with you. bg > Hi all, > I've not been chatting much, but I read your posts periodically. I have a question. Does anyone use human growth hormone, or do you know anything about it? I'm trying to determine if it would be something good to add to my son's treatment for JRA. He's 15. > Also, unfortunately, we had a bone density scan done on his hips and spine, and his lumbar spine has osteporosis, and his hips have ostepena. We've put him on miacalcin in addition to the calcium, magnesium and D (he was already getting some of this, but now more) along with isoflavones. His age is in his favor, but obviously we're disappointed that this has happened to him. He's completely off the prednisone, which caused this problem. One of those things I'd do differently if I'd known then what we know now - I would never have put him on that much prednisone. But we go from here.... > He's looking and feeling good and swimming 3-4 times a week, building muscle mass back in his body. His joint pain is lessened. greatly, and his energy is much improved. He's still on Vioxx (37 1/2 mg, down from 50mg/day) and cortef, 20 mg. (natural cortisone) and minocin - 100 mg. 2 X day every day. > Also, has anyone done an allergy elimination diet for the purpose of identifying allergies to foods and food sensitivities? We're preparing to do that, and I'm overwhelmed with trying to figure out what he CAN actually eat. Any practical suggestions from anyone who has done this would be appreciated. > > Thanks, > Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
