nursing

February 8, 2000

,

I am nursing also, and have health problems, I like you haven't dared to

try anything I don't think its worth the risk, but anyone with more info

would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

I am a nursing mother. I read Huldas book about five years ago. I've always

known that certain things were bad for you, but could never quite put my

finger on it. Thank you Hulda. I was not really ill, so to speak, but I was

not healthy either. Today, we eat no processed foods and use no chemicals.

(We, being four children, myself, and my husband.) It has been extremely

difficult and has taken much commitment, as you know.

After my first parasite cleanse, my life changed. Since that time, I have

commited myself to the use and study of herbs. Now, as to what goes on with

your milk during these cleanses, I cannot say, but I can tell you my

experience. My baby will be one tomorrow. She is very happy and healthy and I

would never do anything to jepoardize her health. After not doing a cleanse

of parasites for the entire pregnancy, I was starting to feel grossed out,

knowing there were living parasites in me. After nursing her for almost a

year, it was almost unbearable. I had never tried the other cleanses like

kidney, but felt quite comfortable with it, after reading the books several

times and becoming familiar with herbs in general. So I went for it, first

the parasite cleanse, full blown. Guess what? Judging from her bowel

movements, I think it is safe to assume that she, along with myself was

cleansed. Simple as that. Then, the kidney cleanse, my first. I can say the

same for it. No side effects, no crying, no cramps, nothing, except the color

of her stool. It became tar like. That was a few months ago. She has been

great since then. I think she is actually happier than ever.

I can tell you that my kidneys are/were very dirty. My previous lifestyle had

guaranteed that! I can actually feel stones, tons of them. Someday, I will be

able to cleanse them.....when I'm done nursing I think, since so little is

known about the effects of such a profound cleanse on the nursing child. (?)

I am very comfortable with almost all herbs, after watching them cure almost

anything and never once seeing a negative side-effect. None of my six family

members has been to see a doctor for many years, or even had a so much as a

cold. I even had my last child at home. I contribute our health to herbs,

nutrition and knowledge.

Long live Hulda. I hope that I have helped you. Foggs

Thanks so much, Foggs. Sharing your experience is very helpful. I still haven't

decided whether to cleanse right away or wait. I plan to get pregnant again

this year and am considering the parasite and kidney cleanses before the

pregnancy.

I have a few more questions about your cleanses but I'll email you personally,

if that's alright.

Thanks again for your input,

Hi,

Ironically, nursed on his good side more than the bad. His nanny

gave him his bottles on his bad side, so be careful of that! I still

fell bad that I didn't come home to nurse him. :|( didn't start

bottles until after 3 months though.

Obviously, nursing is a very personal decision, but if I had my life to live over again, I would nurse as long as I could. My son developed sleep issues, food allergies, & other problems as soon as he was weaned. In some cultures, children are nursed till age 7, & while most of us won't go that far, nursing has a lot of benefits... Particularly if you beef up your milk with super nutrition. A lot of us think our lives will be easier once our children are weaned, but life won't get easier if you are suddenly confronted with these other issues...AnneOn Dec 16, 2009, at 9:18 PM, noel becker wrote: It's hard to say how/when the goiter started.

Noel,

I heartily agree with Anne. I

nursed my first for a year, but his immune system was not functioning yet,

which my natural doctor said is very normal. He said that 50% of children have their

own functioning immune system at one year of age, but the other 50% don’t

develop it until two years of age. My first son was healthy that first year,

but then got majorly sick every time I took him out of the house. It was horrible

being trapped in the house for a year, and having him on high antibiotics if I

took him out and he got sick.

I gladly nursed my others 2+

years. Everyone gave me a hard time for “being tied down”, but

going about normal life with a healthy child at my side was far easier than a

weaned child who was unable to go out of the house and was crabby sick.

I am a nurse too. My experience is a lot like Sheila's. My hearing went down to

the point that work was pretty impossible (and I was worried about the risk,

liability etc). Then I got CI 2003, did very well, but when I changed to a more

challenging environment (and with further progressive hearing loss in my hearing

aid ear), felt I wanted/needed more, especially since I couldn't hear in noise

or if I was too far from others, plus I was still isolated from my coworkers in

terms of communication difficulties. Anyway, my fingers are crossed as I just

had second CI surgery 2 wks ago, got activated Mon, and am working hard on

rehabbing that second ear (am noticing improvement every day, but I forgot about

this part since I have long had such excellent CI correction on the one side)

Sheila, please tell us what kind of stethoscope you are currently using. I used

a Starkey 3 in past (that was my third amplified stethoscope). And by the way,

do you both know about amphl.org (association of med professionals with hearing

loss, it's excellent)

Deborah

PS: some states offer free college tuition (state universities) for those with

hearing loss, unfortunately I did not know that when I did my last degree until

AFTER I finished (I want a refund of all those fees!)

> Hi

> I currently work on an inpatient physical rehab (very busy) unit. My last job

(the first since the CI) was on a short stay/telemetry unit (insanely busy). I

use the phones- the portables at work were an issue at first. I have a special

stethoscope. It took a little time. After my first CI, although I did great, I

still felt hearing impaired. After the second, I am doing awesome. I always

wanted to get a higher degree, but was too busy trying to cope with my hearing

and just " hang in there " . I am now working on my Bachelors, then hopefully, my

Masters. BTW, I am 43 and have been a nurse since 1997. Hope this gives you a

little hope:)

Hi Deborah

sorry so long to respond, way behind on emails. I use a cardionics e scope.

(just do a cardionics search) There are several ways to use it- direct connect

to CI, neckloop or silhouette w/t coils or headphones. Is the Starkey for use

with the CI? I've heard of amphl- don't you have to pay to belong? How do you

find out which states offer free tuition? (I live in MI) How's it going with

your CI and what type of environment do you work in? Nice to " meet " another

bionic nurse:) Take care, Sheila
