question

[Guest guest]

Hi lG, Wanted to let you know that is doing what Mika's is now. He is

asking for or taking enzymes on his own so he can have milk on his cereal. Even

in the morning he is asking for enzymes so he can eat breakfast at school. AND

being honest about it. His teacher asks him if he had his enzymes and if he

forgot he does not get to have milk at school. He actually told her he forgot.

WOW!!!

Sounds like the kids are doing great. Tell them Gramma is proud of them!!

yes. she is.. we just went and found her a bathing suit for this

summer. got a size 7. she is in the 50th percentile in height, but

in the weight she had fallen right off the scale, but now is around

the 5th percentile range. a little higher.

still very thin but even the doctor noticed that when he saw her,

*just looking at her face* " youve gained some weight this time " .

so this time the gain was noticeable. FINALLY!! after 4 yrs of not

gaining 1 pound, but gaining height.

Yes. he was the " sneaky " one. he does not do it anymore that am

noticing. and if he does. it sure is not enough to cause him any

reactions, so am believing him that he is not sneaking anymore.

yes. am trying hard to help the children understand that everyone

sometimes makes mistakes, says things that are not right, (good

example of mine own self here) but when we do these things, it is

important then when we notice that, to try to look at what happened

and try to make it better.

when he feels better now, he has been accomplishing this so well. am

so proud of him. daughter has much more difficulty with this. she

will look right at what she is doing and say " no am not " . lol

but that is what mika did at age 9 also. )

> >>>his symptoms seemed to come and go.he would get better and then

> start to feel badly again.

this was all in one day. from the one problem food he had in town,

he had nachos with some zesty flavourings. if he has plain tacos now,

he can tolerate it well with enzymes, but the ones with the strong

flavours (zesty nachos think it was ) this is what it was.

> Have you isolated out any problem foods?

some yes. alwqays knew about milk being a problem food. and am

seeing that the hotdogs, are a big no-no. also nachos, and still food

colourings of any sort. also, orange juice, (which he still craves)

along with grapes, and tomatoes, (but he hates tomatoes anyways).

but there are other foods that are doing things we just cant figure

out which is doing it, he gets very itchy skin, and little rash which

michelle is getting also, and doctor noticed that yesterday and said

it was exzema. personally also got a spot of what had always seen as

exzema before all of a sudden after the weekend, but dont know why.

ate fish, but have eaten fish before. but didnt eat this type of fish

but could that be it? thought that fish was fish, no matter which

species one eats.

There may be one food in

> particular that he still cannot eat even with enzymes.

yes the nachos was the problem yesterday. what am not understanding

is why the negative reaction would start, continue for a while,and

then he woudl settle right back to " normal " and then after a while

(like an hour or so) the reaction woudl start again. like a fever

going up anddown. is that wierd? or is it that have never noticed

that before and it is common.

makes sense. think that is propably a part of his problem. will try

to look further into it when summer holidays start and is easier for

monitoring exactly what he is eating and what he isnt eating.

>>>Given the apparently central role of the neurotransmitters

Enzymes are probably a pretty good method because they promote gut

healing and getting the most nutrients out of food. Serotonin can be

enhanced by eating more tryptophan containing foods (I can forward

you information on exactly how that happens if you like). Even if

you take supplements, enzymes enhance the ability of the body to

absorb and use them. With a damaged gut, a bunch of these

supplements can pass right on through.

I'd love to know how to enhance Serotonin through eating certain foods! Is

turkey one of them? Hard to get in Oz, we don't have the traditions here. Now,

I've been known to ask a few personal questions here myself so don't

be afraid. This is the best source I know of!

I'm not sure there is a tie in between T levels and the refractory

period. I also think it depends if you are talking about intercourse

or orgasms. Sometimes the second go around requires a lot of manual

stimulation that wasn't required the first go around. I'd say

anywhere from 90 minutes to five hours is a " normal " range, but I

suspect a lot depends on your age too. Seren.

" For those of you that get all or most of your testosterone from an

outside source, what is your recovery time between orgasms? For those

of you that had working testicles at one time, does it take longer

than before? "

My recovery time has been much shorter on TRT than without it. I'd

say with just T alone my recovery time is 12 hours, but with 25mg of

viagra it's 4-6 hours, and with yohimbine added, about 1-3 hours.

Before TRT it was probably a few days to a few weeks. If I do

some aerobic exercise my recovery time is shorter too, but too much

exercise has the opposite effect.

[Guest guest]

Offensive? What could be offensive Jim? We are all like brothers

here! And we probably know more about each other than a flesh and

blood brother would know!

I'm 57 and my testicles were supplying testosterone to my body until

about 2 years ago when they began producing a minimal amount of the

hormone.

Mentally my recovery time is instantaneous. With the external source

of testosterone feeding my brain, I go around all of my waking hours

with a mental hard-on!

Physically is a different story. My brain is ready in minutes but my

body takes about 24 hours. Although with in those 24 hours I have

experienced some " dry " orgasms (that is a very extraordinary and

unusual feeling), but definitely orgasms. There is alwo copious

amounts of pre-cum, but no ejaculate. So, even though my body is not

ready, my brain makes my body work anyway. There just are not any

bodily fluids ready to spurt from my penis for at least 24 hours.

See what you have to look forward to!

Murray

T2, Have you any other numbers besides T and E levels? For most of us

those two factors are not out of range (depending on age and how your

body feels). While some may feel a level of 900 is too high, others

may feel great at such a level - especially as E is low. Very low. It

may be possible that something else is at work. Maybe I'm wrong by a

voice in my head said 'isn't that a really low E realitve to T? "

I know that total estrogens is also coming into popularity among the

doctors who treat hypogonadism with real passion. A desirable level

is <103 as I recall. See where yours are, as well as prolaction, free

T, and % free T, etc.

It's worth a try.

The best way I could think of describing the difference between a Flare and

Normal PA activity is that, for me, " Normal " means i have constant aches and

pains in my toes, ankles, achilles tendons, calves, knees, and fingers - a pain

that is tolerable if uncomfortable at times and a little worse in the morning.

A Flare for me is when one of the aforementioned areas becomes so inflamed that

it is not possible for me to operate normally. The last " Flare " I had started

June 5, 2002 - it crippled my right knee for a month before we got that under

control, then it moved to my left knee for a month, then my left ankle. It was

October before I could walk normally again, albeit with much more pain and

stiffness than I had prior to June 5. The Flare was so bad that I could not

bend my knee or even think of bending it without excruciating pain. Normally it

is sore, but useable.

I should mention that prior to the June 5 Flare mine were always relatively

minor, usually effecting only a toe or perhaps a knee for a day or two. Because

of that I always thought the pain was from old athletic injuries or overuse from

running. It was not until the June disaster that I was diagnosed with PA (after

two months of being on crutches).

Regarding excersizing during a flare- all I can say is good for you if you are

able to exersize during a flare!

Hope this helps.

Depends on the probiotic, one type and can give with them with no apparent

decline in effectiveness but the other I give away from enzymes. In general,

I think most people give them at different times just to be sure

I assume you mean the probiotic capsule? Actually, I think some bacterias

marti

[Guest guest]

>>>Am I defeating the purpose of some of these things, like the

probiotics and such???????

This comes up from time to time and the only real concern is between

enzymes and probiotics. And the answer is: depends. Depends on the

probiotics product and the enzyme product. I did a pubmed search

several times. As you mentioned, some probiotics are acid-loving

(acidophilus) and it isn't a concern, but in other cases it was.

Also, some strains of some probiotics were not as effective

nor 'attached' well in the presence of proteases. Probiotics consist

of proteins after all. But there was a lot of variability. Some

manufacturers enterically coat their products to in order to protect

them, some find this isn't necessary. Best move is it read the label

on the probiotic product and follow that. Or give them apart just to

be extra sure. I give probiotic at bedtime.

Did the chat work out? It does work, but I get lost pretty easily

with all the conversations interweaving.

/files/Selecting%

20Enzyme%20Products

Here is the link to a file that might help answer some of your

questions. There are lots of files full of info. Basically, enzymes

are something your body makes naturally, but when this ability is

compromised (which is the case with many spectrum adults and

children) taking enzymes when you eat helps the body do what it

cannot do naturally. Autistic individuals often have damaged guts so

the food leaks out into the bloodstream. Peptizide(works on gluten,

casein, soy...proteins) from Houston stops the whole peptide problem

many autistic individuals have. Many people are able to leave the

gfcf diet behind with this enzyme. Enzymes are very important

because without them the body does not digest/utilize food properly.

Alot of children and adults are defficient in vitamins and minerals

either because they are not absorbing them properly, or because there

are so many foods they cannot eat/tolerate. Enzymes can fix this for

many. You can order them...they are not medicine and you do not need

a prescription. We use Houston's. Hope this helps.

It sounds like maybe the Enzyme Complete is addressing other food

issues your son has, and the extra enzyme is causing a withdrawal

effect. I would keep the lower dose, or maybe increase to 1-1/2

capsules, and see if you notice any difference.

The A-5 and the B-5 Zapper Models were designed and built from specifications

directed by Dr. Hulda herself. However I have had problems with the A-5

zapper continuously beeping no matter what I do - whether it's keeping the cuffs

moist or tightening it around my wrists.

I am much happier with my B-5 zapper. It is the most basic zapper unit, based on

the directions in Dr. 's books. It does not have a timer, but I use my own

kitchen timer instead. It also comes with the copper handles, instead of the

wrist cuffs. Someone mentioned to me in the past that the copper handles are

still the best way to get conductivity. Apparently the wrist cuffs are okay for

those who have a hard time gripping the handles for a solid 7 minutes, but it's

no match for the conductivity we get from the copper handles.

I got my zappers from http://www.huldaclark.com

IF anyone gets one there, keep in mind they are slow in delivery because of

Nearly *all* -based " zappers " are built that way...the exception would

be like the $10 zapper which uses a different timer chip...for example.

Does the timer chip make a difference in the efficacy of the zapper. What is

As long as it meets the requirement per s specs it should not pose a

problem...those specs being...

" Any positively offset [DC] frequency kills all bacteria, viruses and

parasites simultaneously given sufficient voltage (5 to 10 volts), duration

(seven minutes), and frequency (anything from 10 Hz to 500'000 Hz). "

In this case as long as the chip puts out the postive offset and frequency

you're good to go...

A5 or B5? Ask the manufacturer......
