Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Dear Joe, Excellent! Thank you for your list from your site and Techlectures. You are so very generous. Dear Onlookers, Please add to this list what is in your every day world. As the list becomes even bigger I shall make a tutorial (alphabetized).

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Hi: Yes, this is handy, thank you. But some of the questions are intended for pharmacists, right? I hope so.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 Dear Yes some are intended for pharmacists to learn while in pharm school but then that is the University of Washington. Washington requires their techs to go to school. Perhaps Dora can expound. But my point is going to catch you offguard, and yet will be steered to those who have read my latest postof TL regarding techs taking phone orders. IF a tech wants to take phone orders then he/she must have a pharmacists knowlege base. Enough said and not much directed to you.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 I'd have to look at it again but I thought some of the questions concerned which meds to dispense. That's why I thought the questions had to be intended for a pharmacist. I'll go through it again and look for the questions I panicked over.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Gene: They refer to the way you set up scripts in a very cool add-on to brainmaster software called BMscope. (delightful name) But anyway it is an extremely flexible program that you write scipts for to train as you want to train and reward as you want to reward. Using it is arguably the best way to do a " squash " or ratio training with the BMR. (frequency/frequency)*# is part of a scrip and means (frequency1 divided by frequency2)times a number to scale the side of the display on the screen. I believe in the script mary was working on she was doing l.beta (which tells bmscope to look at that value in the brainmaster output) divided by r.beta. This kind of script would be used to work on the typical overactivated right or back or of the brain. The most frequently used display with this program is just a moving dot which leaves and osciliscope line behind it and an added tone. Very simple, very clear, and supprisiningly interesting to a wide variety of people. If you are interested go to http://www.robinsnestsoftware.com/ and get your free copy. Don't be discouraged by the learning curve..it's a bit steep at first and then you will be eaisly goofing with scripts. Best wishes, Dave Kempston > Hello-- > > What do the abbreviations here mean? In particular, (frequency/frequency)*#. > > Thanks, > Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Thanks to some previous messages the last two days we have been doing that, perhaps you missed the messages, there are three or four messages I think with abbreviations spelled out. Look on 3/5/05 most have abbreviations in the subject title. I agree in the future if we use an abbreviation we should spell it out the first time after listing the abbreviation. Then it will have an explanation when used after that in the same message. OR, , I suppose there could be a page somewhere? On ? that explains abbreviations..? Just an idea. Otherwise I think any of us using them in a post should spell them out the first time they are used. Happy Sunday to All.................... Kurt Abbreviations I've been reading the posts for a couple of months and am so frustrated most of the time because I have no idea what people are talking about because of all the abbreviations used. It seems that when I read even a short post, I find myself referencing CLL Topics and Google just to find out what the abbreviations mean and sometimes neither of these sources help. Could we please spell out the words once in the post and then use the abbreviations? It's just hard to follow the content when switching back and forth trying to figure out the abbreviations. It seems that many of you have been dealing with CLL for years but when someone is new it takes a while to pick up the lingo. I'm trying to educate myself as quickly as possible but I'm sure there are always new people joining who also are clueless. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" " I agree! I am also on the group: · CLL-Researchand Advocacy where lots of wonderful information is posted. However, I can't understand the ramifications or significance of 99.9% of what is posted on this list as I cannot understand the verbage. I sometimes post and ask if someone would clarify, but no one ever responds. I have done a pretty good job of educating myself about CLL, but sometimes there's really no point in disseminating information if the vast majority of the readers have no idea what the bottom line is, much less more complex understanding of the subject matter.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Here's a list of some that I can think of off the top of my head-- maybe keep a list of the ones you are seeing: GSE--grapefruit seed extract, although I personally think we should start using GFSE for grapefruit seed extract and GSE for grapeSEED extract. OoO--Oil of Oregano GSH--glutathione TTFD--tetra,somethingsomething-- basically means a transdermal (through the skin) allithiamine cream. Not a " chelator " by definition, but seems to help children excrete heavy metals. DMSA--dimercaptosuccinic acid-- a chelator (to remove heavy metals) DMPS--dimethyl(?)propanosulfate(?)--a chelator (also metal removal) EDTA--disodium edtate something...--a chelator (also metal removal) ALA--alpha lipoic acid -- considered a chelator (also metal removal) td--transdermal, means applied through the skin Mg--magnesium Hg--mercury NDF--nano colloidal detox factors-- a spray that is reported to chelate PCA-Rx-- peptide chlathrating agent-- a spray that is reported to chlathrate (different than chelating, but purpose is to remove heavy metals) dh, dw, dd, ds--dear husband (or other descriptor that is not so nice), dear wife, dear daughter, dear son. As in my ds has been... HTH (hope that helps), FWIW (for what it's worth), it's all JMHO (just my humble opinion) BTW (by the way) :-) W > Hello. > > Since I am really in this group, I am not getting all the abbreviations > everyone is doing in there emails.

The problem with doing that, is when you go to your health food store to find some, the bottle says GSE in large letters, not GFSE. So people might not know that the GSE is what you want if you are looking for grapefruit seed extract to eliminate yeast. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Comments interspersed. S S Abbreviations Posted by: " Saratica " saratica@... oboykw Mon Aug 18, 2008 10:01 pm (PDT) What is " AS " ? *In this context it means Asperger's Syndrome. Sorry - I'm sure it's simple but I can't figure that one out. I figured it must be Autistic something but I just came upon a disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis, so now I'm thinking maybe that's it? There are a couple of others I haven't been able to figure out, too: OSR *Oxidative Stress Relief, a product being developed by Boyd Haley. HBOT *hyperbaric oxygen therapy IVIG *intravenous immunoglobulin OLE - olive leaf extract? *yes IV Ca EDTA *intravenous calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (a really bad idea for mercury toxic folks) ASD *autism spectrum disorder(s) But I got these: OOO/OoO: Oil of Oregano TMG: glycine betaine or tri-methylglycine DAN: Defeat Autism Now ATEC: Autism Treatment evaluation checklist Thank you!
