Guest guest Posted December 15, 1999 Report Share Posted December 15, 1999 Somish, I was very interested in your osteopenia situation as I have osteoporosis already documented at age 39 (I am now 41). Because of gastric paresis from CFS I can't take the fusomax. I have an osteoporosis specialist that I see semi-annually, Dr. Rosen. He is an endocrinolgoist and and national specialist in osteoporosis and he started the Center for Osteoporosis. I am going to e-mail him your notes (without your name) and ask him for his response on this. I'll let you know.....best, E >Message: 17 > Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 18:57:56 EST > From: SOMISH@... >Subject: ph alkaline ?+ ioonized calcum levrels ? +osteoporisis ? > >hi all, > had my vit d levels, parathryroid levels and ionized calcium levels >taken as osteopenia.(try to rule out obvious causes) But, felt years in bed >sleeping , being thin, heredity accounted for itlack off weight bearing >activities could account for it. >(step just below osteoporsis) > anyhow, my md was trying to figure out why my unbound portion of >calcium (ionized calcium) was so high.(the bound portion is bound to the >protein in the blood) usually one would have a low albumin level to account >for it or maybe some medication or suppliments was competiting for the >calcium binding cite found on protein., or calcium levels low , or how much >calcium i was using in all my suppliments etc etc. > finally, ruled out obvious reasons all negative for me and he said: >alkaloisis can cause high ionized calcium levels so i know i have alkalosis >as my urnine ph as measured by a strip in the am, is always acidic.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2000 Report Share Posted May 5, 2000 Hi Janna I haven't posted for weeks due to a bad flare & hospitalisation for 1 week - but after having read you story I just wanted to let you know that my first joint to get really bad was my right elbow which at one stage I couldn't straighten much past 90 degrees (my Rheumy used to measure it with a protractor!!). This lasted for about 18 months. I still have a little pain & grinding in the joint but less swelling & much more movement - all I would recommend is that you do not make my mistake & stop using you arm because of the pain. The muscle in my right arm now is quite wasted & I think will take some time to build up again. But please do not dispair. I had steroid injections in my knees a week ago & feel like a new woman - I can run up & down stairs (well almost anyway) and actually sat on the ground at the weekend whilst on a picnic with my children. Keep well Petra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2000 Report Share Posted September 11, 2000 Hi my name is Claude. What is the difference between a tissue cleans and a colon cleanse? What herbs can be used for a tissue cleanse? What herbs should I use for a blood and liver Cleasne? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 Leah, I wish I could have kept up with the full inclusion, but fighting the teachers became too much and when I saw that as got into the older grades, the friends he had in the past, passed him and no longer wanted to come over to the house or hang out with him anymore. They are older now and into older things that are above . They''re also riding bikes around town, skateboards in the street without their moms tagging along and going over to other friends houses without their moms. They're still real nice to and will say hi and help him out, but no more phone calls and birthday parties are rare for a boy at this age. I am actually seeing him feeling comfortable with kids that are on the same level as him and has made friends who are asking for his phone number and giving theirs to him. He actually has a girlfriend who he talks about all the time in his limited speech, but it's getting him to talk because he's happy and excited and can't wait until Monday every weekend, begging me to let him go to school on the weekend. It makes me wonder if I had done the right thing pushing the full inclusion all these years. I want him to be happy as well as appropriate and I feel I've given him the best of both right now. How'd the IEP go, I'm behind on my EMails and will probably find out as I get further along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Hey Jeff, Thanks for the info on Stavia, I don't think I'll be going to that extreme for my sugar lolol. I can see me now, I get a wiff of that smell and get sick! Ewww. No thanks, I don't even care for sweets anyway. Thanks for the info though, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Ferris and , Stevia is an herb derived from a Juniper-like shrub grown in South Americaa and is used as a non-caloric sweetner. It is available in a number of different forms, an herbal powder (green in color), a white powder, and in an herbal solution. I have read that it is " 100s of times sweeter than sugar " and is a common sweetner overseas (I have read that in Japan Stevia is used in 80% of non-sugar applications). I have used the herbal powder and though it was sweet, the herbal smell didn't quite work for me. Earlier this week I saw some white powder Stevia at my local Co-Op Market. This is the first time I have seen it in this form, though I haven't yet tried it. Stevia is most often found in health food stores and is usually sold in a small bottle and runs from between $5 and $10. It can be used as sugar in most situations though it should be used in the quantities like Equal packets (you don't need a teaspoon of Stevia for a cup of coffee). Here are a couple of links with info about Stevia: http://www.healthfree.com/stevlife.htm http://www.holisticmed.com/sweet/ That is about all I know about Stevia, hope it helps. -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2001 Report Share Posted January 14, 2001 It is true that it uses stevia, It also contains phenylalanine which I associate as aspartame.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 I've been told beta glucan is only fat soluable rather than water soluable. I will be using it together with the flax seed oil and cottage cheese. Any thoughts on this? Ketan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unaware of any harmfull side effects, the lethal dose is about 40 pounds or 18 kg, compared to a daily usage rate of 0.003kg so if you take 6,000 times the recommended amount it might cause a problem. This compares favourably to table salt, where only 600 times the daily amount is lethal, or to a drug where 6 times the usual amount might be toxic. With yeast derived or mushroom derived beta glucan there is no need to worry about things like water solubility or fat solubility. It is well and easily absorbed by the body, but should be taken on an empty stomach, 40 minutes before other food. moonbeam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Hi everyone, My name is and I work at NCFH, but I am also currently working on my thesis for MPH school on barriers to breast and cervical cancer screening among M/S farmworkers. I am seeking studies that deal with Cancer and Migrant Farmworkers in general, and then specifically on breast and cervical cancer and FW's. I have some already, but was wondering if I had missed any that you as a group may be aware of. I would really appreciate your help. You can reply to me at saavedra@....
