CINNAMON AND HONEY...THE MIRACLE CURE

[Guest guest]

Gabby,

I know you have good intentions by sending links that other parents

may find useful, however, I would respectfully request that you send

links that are actually useful and not hocus pocus. Surely you don't

believe that cinnamon and honey really can cure hearing loss as stated

by the message you posted below (towards the end of article). Hearing

loss caused by sensorineural damage cannot be cured by honey and

cinnamon. While I am in agreement that there are some holistic and

alternative treatments that are valid and effective, links and

articles such as those below and especially the other one sent on

brain scans performed on 30 second videos/pictures are really just

plain silly nonsense. I am not sure what you hope to gain by sharing

that kind of stuff here since it has nothing to do with apraxia, and

nothing to do with important info/alerts for parents regarding our

children.

Messages like this just clog up this list group.

Again, I am not flaming you, I am asking you to weed through your list

of links to share to those that are actually real and effective.

Miracle cure

> [Facts on honey and cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey

and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the

countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a

" Ram Ban " (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey

can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

> Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in

the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.

Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17

January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be

cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

> HEART DISEASES:

> Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead

of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the

cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.

Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process

daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of

the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart

beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated

patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and

veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon

revitalize the arteries and veins.

> ARTHRITIS:

> Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of

hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon

powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a

recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found

that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one

tablespoon honey and half teaspoon cinnamon powder before breakfast,

they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated,

practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a

month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around

because of arthritis started walking without pain.

> BLADDER INFECTIONS:

> Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in

a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the

bladder.

> TOOTHACHE:

> Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons

of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied three

times a day until the tooth stops aching.

> COLDS:

> Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one

tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for

three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear

the sinuses.

> UPSET STOMACH:

> Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears

stomach ulcers from the root.

> GAS:

> According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed

that if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of

gas.

> IMMUNE SYSTEM:

> Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system

and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have

found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts.

Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight

bacteria and viral diseases.

> INDIGESTION:

> Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before

food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

> INFLUENZA:

> A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural

ingredient which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from

flu.

> LONGEVITY:

> Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly,

arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon

of cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea.

Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and

soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increases and even a 100

year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

> PIMPLES:

> Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder

paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it

next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes

pimples from the root.

> SKIN INFECTIONS:

> Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected

parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

> WEIGHT LOSS:

> Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty

stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder

boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight

of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly

does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the

person may eat a high calorie diet.

> CANCER:

> Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced

cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients

suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon

of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three

times a day.

> FATIGUE:

> Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more

helpful rather than! than being detrimental to the strength of the

body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal

parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research,

says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and

sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the

afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to

decrease, increases the vitality of the bo dy within a week.

> BAD BREATH:

> People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one

teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their

breath stays fresh throughout the day.

> HEARING LOSS:

> Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal

parts restore hearing.

> Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and

cinnamon sprinkled on it! } ]

Cinnamon and honey provided health benefits long before prescriptions

became available. Cinnamon has antibacterial properties. I can see how

the hearing loss improvement could occur as anyone who regained hearing

loss after antibiotic treatment can attest to. I am not saying run out

and get cinnamon and honey over seeing your doc but if you are like me,

and can no longer tolerate antibiotics, it is nice to have options. I

am thankful for the post.

Actually, I used this post yesterday because had some stomach pain.... no pain

remedy in the cupboard so I tried the honey and cinnimen drink. It worked

great!

Hearing loss from damage to the cilia in the ear is not possible.

There is current research with birds to try to grow back new cilia in

damaged cochlea but cinnamon and honey cannot cure nerve deafness. I

should know, I have hearing loss myself which is hereditary in nature,

thus I can tell you for a fact that cinnamon/honey curing hearing loss

is just plain ridiculous and this kind of posting does not belong here

on this apraxia related board. Sorry to come across as being blunt,

but evidence based information should be posted on here for parents

who can actually do something for their kids.

Can you not just DELETE the messages that she sends if you dislike them so

much?

I think several of us have stated over and over that these sort of emails

interest them BECAUSE of their child being Apraxic and wanting to find natural

or homeopathic methods to help them.

I see that her messages are perfectly fine and on topic as well. If

someone doesn't like them-- the delete button should be used, because the

benefits

to many others here far outweighs the negatives to the few

Seeramona,

There really is no place for such rude behaviour here. I have no issue with you

and kindly request that you not address me in this type of tone. I write

" continuously " on this board on the subject of apraxia and dyspraxia and have a

LITANY of posts that detail many, many exercises, therapies that absolutely

address Apraxia and dyspraxia!

Sometimes I suspect that there are lurkers on this board who only chime in when

they have a rude or hostile comment to release and little else! Get some

manners please or please do not respond to my posts.

Janice

[Guest guest]

I don't feel that people just chime in to make a rude comment, who has time

to do that. With all the daily things people have to do in theie lives and

to take care of their familles that seems like a fairly big waste of time. I

think the thing is to be more open minded. Just because a post is not

completely about apraxia doesn't mean others don't have an interest in it. It

is an

open board, no one said you cannot post things about other disorders, since

apraxia is common with many other issues for these kids. Everyone has the right

to express their feelings. I remember once I was told I was too touchy and

sensitive, so I got over it, take to heart the person responding, if you don't

believe it or agree with it, just ERASE. I think more time is spent spewing

defensive comments back at other people that didn't even mean to be rude in

the first place. Jen

Again, facutal information on electrodermal screening that you

used,with no relevance to apraxia and possibly dangerous to our

children when inappropriate or misdagnosis of illness. Again, needs

to be posted to a different group, not here.

Scientific Study

In a double-blind study, British researchers compared its results with

a Vegatest device to those of conventional skin-prick testing in 30

volunteers, half of whom had previously reacted positively for allergy

to cat dander or house dust mite. Each participant was tested with 6

items by each of 3 operators in 3 separate sessions, a total of 54

tests per participant. The researchers concluded that Vegatesting does

not correlate with skin prick testing and so should not be used to

diagnose these allergies. The authors estimated that more than 500 EDS

devices were being used in the United Kingdom to assess sensitivity to

potential allergens [8].

The Australian College of Allergy has concluded that " Vega testing is

a technique of diagnosis without scientific basis. " [9] In 1997, a

biomedical engineer found that placing ampoules in the honeycomb of a

Vegatest I device did not affect the device's readings [10]. This is

not surprising, because glass is not an electrical conductor.

Government Regulation

The FDA classifies " devices that use resistance measurements to

diagnose and treat various diseases " as Class III devices, which

require FDA approval prior to marketing. In 1986, an FDA official

informed me that the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health

had determined that the Dermatron and Accupath 1000 were diagnostic

devices that posed a " significant risk. " [11] No such device can be

legally marketed in the United States for diagnostic or treatment

purposes. A few companies have obtained 510(k) clearance (not

approval) by telling the FDA that their devices will be used for

biofeedback or to measure skin resistance, but this does not entitle

them to market the devices for other purposes.

EAV devices are not biofeedback devices. Biofeedback is a relaxation

technique that uses an electronic device that continuously signals

pulse rate, muscle tension, or other body function by tone or visual

signal. In biofeedback, the signal originates and is influenced by the

patient. In EAV, the signal is influenced by how hard the operator

presses the probe against the patient's skin. (Pressure makes the

electric current flow more easily between the device to the patient's

skin.) The now-defunct International Academy of Bioenergetic

Practitioners encouraged device purchasers to bill insurance companies

using biofeedback codes [12]. I believe, however, that doing this

could result in prosecution for insurance fraud.

The FDA has banned importation of EAV devices into the United States

and warned or prosecuted a few marketers [13] Foreign and state

regulatory agencies have also taken a few actions [13]. However, no

systematic effort has been made to drive them from the marketplace. As

a result, these bogus devices are being used by many chiropractors,

acupuncturists, dentists, " holistic " physicians, veterinarians,

self-styled " nutritionists, " and various unlicensed individuals . The

most common use is for prescribing homeopathic products. They are also

used to determine " allergies, " detect " nutrient deficiencies, " and

locate alleged problems in teeth that contain amalgam ( " silver " ) fillings.

Significant Risks

EAV devices pose several serious risks. The transmittal of false or

misleading health information can cause emotional harm, a false sense

of security, or a false set of beliefs that can lead to unwise

decisions. During the past ten years, more than 200 people have told

me about their experiences with EAV practitioners. In most cases, they

or someone they knew wasted hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars

for the test and recommended treatment. In some cases, the person

tested became very frightened and wound up undergoing expensive

medical tests that showed that the diagnosed conditions were not present.

Unnecessary follow-up procedures can also be a serious problem. I know

of several patients who had healthy teeth extracted after being

misdiagnosed with an EAV device. In another case, a man who consulted

a physician about rectal bleeding and abdominal cramps was examined

only with a Dermatron and told that his colon was fine. Unfortunately,

the man had colon cancer—which was not diagnosed until at least seven

months later when he consulted another doctor. Two others I know about

had advanced cancers were erroneously told they were cancer-free. One

of them was sold 33 products to get rid of " parasites " and other

nonexistent problems. One victim who tried to get a refund was told

that the products had been electrically specifically modified for her

and could not be used for anyone else.

The strangest report I have received came from a parent who, after

reading an earlier version of this article, telephoned to described

how his five-year-old daughter had been tested by an unlicensed

practitioner. When the child became restless, the test was continued

by probing the parent's hand while the parent held the child. The

parent also noted that the practitioner appeared to manipulate the

results (seeking a " 50 " reading on the device) by moistening or drying

the child's finger while testing to select the appropriate remedy.

from

http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/electro.html

and

http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Electrodermal_Screening.asp

What is the evidence?

Available scientific evidence does not support electrodermal screening

(galvanic skin response) as a reliable aid in diagnosis or treatment

of cancer or other illness.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that any device that

is used to diagnose or treat diseases be proven effective before it

can be marketed. None of these devices has earned FDA approval for

diagnostic use, although several are registered as " galvanic skin

response detection devices. " The FDA has warned several manufacturers

to stop making false claims about diagnosis, and has banned some

devices from being imported. Various licensing boards in the US have

disciplined licensed practitioners who have used electrodermal

screening for diagnosis or treatment selection. In spite of all this,

the devices are still frequently advertised and promoted as diagnostic

tools.

Are there any possible problems or complications?

Electrodermal screening itself is relatively safe, although people

with implanted pacemakers should avoid electrical current. However,

misdiagnosis and improper treatment may cause problems. For example,

people have had healthy teeth removed based on recommendations from

this type of screening. One man was told he did not have cancer, when

in fact, he did. His treatment was delayed for several months because

of misinformation.

Relying on this type of treatment while avoiding or delaying

conventional medical care may have serious health consequences.

I think we're seeing this more and more, and it's quite frustrating.

I see these posts that say something like

" I just don't have TIME for all these posts that are off-topic " and I just

want to laugh-- because it's usually someone with 1-2 kids who's saying this,

and it's the LAST thing you say to a mom to 8 who has 2 special needs kids and

who homeschools! LOL

There are many techniques that we moms who have 'successfully' recovered our

apraxic children that we have used that are not considered mainstream. Fish

oils, special diets, electrodermal screening, homeopathy, chelation,

neurodevelopmental therapy, listening programs to stimulate the ears and

auditory channels, work on sequential processing, HBOT therapy, etc. etc. I

note that you took one post of mine with regards to electodermal testing and

used it as a basis for scorn..... I myself have called it 'voodoo' science that

worked for us! I still don't understand why or how but I am not the only person

on this board or other boards who have used it with incredible success.

What about all of the posts that I have submitted in the past that detail core

body exercises, tongue exercises and hand exercises? Those items have no

'proof' associated with them..... but we all know that they work!

The list goes on and on. I did 9.5 years of mainstream 'system' speech with few

results. If I had just stuck to that premise, my son would still be stuck in

special education and not speaking clearly, articulately nor proficiently today.

He'd still be using 2-3 word phrases! Today, my son gets all A's and B's in

school, has many friends and is considered a 'regular' guy.... we are quickly

making gains in his hands via continued core body work, working his visual motor

systems along with the supplementation of piracetam. HE is recovering via a

combonation of biomed and therapy..... and so are many like him! How is

mainstream only working for you? Because it didn't do much for us! I don't see

many on this board or other boards who actually recover their children from

dyspraxia/apraxia without doing some biomed.... at the very least in the form of

fish oils and some with this along with dietary changes. Sticking to only

mainstream therapy doesn't provide recovery as far as I can see. But this is

just my observation and humble opinion after reading thousands of posts from

other moms.

The health of our children plays a HUGE role in their apraxia. Hypotonia,

auditory tonal processing issues, food allergies and sensitivities as well as

chemical sensitivities are of paramount importance. Addressing the issues of

the immune system which is often the root cause of the problem DOES help the

child regain lost function.

With my son in particular, his apraxia is resolved but he continues to have

issues with nasal voice production. Guess what? When we do a couple of saline

washes in his nose or we use Mucostop, this clears right up! The ENT was of no

assistance here.

It has taken me many, many, many years to realize that what I actually had was a

'sick' child and the apraxia, dyspraxia were actually 'symptoms' of illness.

They were a result of a medical problem which adversely affected his body....

not a manifestation by itself. I couldn't heal my son from dyspraxia and

apraxia without addressing the underlying root causes.

The body is a whole, functioning enterprise and while perhaps some of these

posts could be labled OT, they are helpful to some and don't deserve scorn or

ridicule.

Anything that helps the body and the immune system is right on target for many

of our children. When you actually do the labwork and the physiological

testing, you discover this and realize that our kids definately have some major

health issues.

This is WHY vitamin E and the fish oils help. This is WHY addressing diet and

food intolerances help. This is WHY addressing candida, yeast, bacteria,

parasites and other 'nasty' items do help the child. They are not in themselves

the recovery but they help the child function to optimal levels..... clear out

the blocked nasal and auditory passageways, stimulate those passageways

intensely, do the oral motor therapy..... and low and behold, baby step by baby

step..... normal function begins to emerge for many children.

If you don't want to receive information that others find in their research that

they believe others might enjoy, then press the delete key. Some of us do find

this information pertinent and useful to helping our kids and their immune

systems..... and thus affecting their apraxia. If you feel that your email is

getting 'clogged' then why don't you change your system to digest mode? That

way you can choose what to read and what not to read.

I do caution that you may actually learn something from those that have been

there and do actually have recovered or recovering kids. Try to open up your

horizon a bit because you never know what you may find that could help your

child. I never in a million years associated food intolerances, vitamin

deficiencies or a compromised immune system with my son's apraxia..... but in

the end it turned out to be true!

By the way, those at QuackWatch are Quacks themselves! Anyone who has read

their stuff over the years and has half a brain has learned that they are full

of 'it'. Just my humble opinion. You should read what they say about

chiropractors! They are just a bunch of fear mongerers and their stuff is not

worth the time of day.

Note that cinnamon helps greatly with the control of blood glucose levels and

thus does have therapeutic affects for the body. The diabetic world has known

this for many, many years. Some of our best health sollutions come from food

rather then a pill!

The FDA classifies " devices that use resistance measurements to

diagnose and treat various diseases " as Class III devices, which

require FDA approval prior to marketing. In 1986, an FDA official

informed me that the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health

had determined that the Dermatron and Accupath 1000 were diagnostic

devices that posed a " significant risk. " [11] No such device can be

legally marketed in the United States for diagnostic or treatment

purposes. A few companies have obtained 510(k) clearance (not

approval) by telling the FDA that their devices will be used for

biofeedback or to measure skin resistance, but this does not entitle

them to market the devices for other purposes.

EAV devices are not biofeedback devices. Biofeedback is a relaxation

technique that uses an electronic device that continuously signals

pulse rate, muscle tension, or other body function by tone or visual

signal. In biofeedback, the signal originates and is influenced by the

patient. In EAV, the signal is influenced by how hard the operator

presses the probe against the patient's skin. (Pressure makes the

electric current flow more easily between the device to the patient's

skin.) The now-defunct International Academy of Bioenergetic

Practitioners encouraged device purchasers to bill insurance companies

using biofeedback codes [12]. I believe, however, that doing this

could result in prosecution for insurance fraud.

The FDA has banned importation of EAV devices into the United States

and warned or prosecuted a few marketers [13] Foreign and state

regulatory agencies have also taken a few actions [13]. However, no

systematic effort has been made to drive them from the marketplace. As

a result, these bogus devices are being used by many chiropractors,

acupuncturists, dentists, " holistic " physicians, veterinarians,

self-styled " nutritionists, " and various unlicensed individuals . The

most common use is for prescribing homeopathic products. They are also

used to determine " allergies, " detect " nutrient deficiencies, " and

locate alleged problems in teeth that contain amalgam ( " silver " ) fillings.

Significant Risks

EAV devices pose several serious risks. The transmittal of false or

misleading health information can cause emotional harm, a false sense

of security, or a false set of beliefs that can lead to unwise

decisions. During the past ten years, more than 200 people have told

me about their experiences with EAV practitioners. In most cases, they

or someone they knew wasted hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars

for the test and recommended treatment. In some cases, the person

tested became very frightened and wound up undergoing expensive

medical tests that showed that the diagnosed conditions were not present.

Unnecessary follow-up procedures can also be a serious problem. I know

of several patients who had healthy teeth extracted after being

misdiagnosed with an EAV device. In another case, a man who consulted

a physician about rectal bleeding and abdominal cramps was examined

only with a Dermatron and told that his colon was fine. Unfortunately,

the man had colon cancer-which was not diagnosed until at least seven

months later when he consulted another doctor. Two others I know about

had advanced cancers were erroneously told they were cancer-free. One

of them was sold 33 products to get rid of " parasites " and other

nonexistent problems. One victim who tried to get a refund was told

that the products had been electrically specifically modified for her

and could not be used for anyone else.

The strangest report I have received came from a parent who, after

reading an earlier version of this article, telephoned to described

how his five-year-old daughter had been tested by an unlicensed

practitioner. When the child became restless, the test was continued

by probing the parent's hand while the parent held the child. The

parent also noted that the practitioner appeared to manipulate the

results (seeking a " 50 " reading on the device) by moistening or drying

the child's finger while testing to select the appropriate remedy.

from

http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/electro.html

and

http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Electrodermal_Screening.asp

What is the evidence?

Available scientific evidence does not support electrodermal screening

(galvanic skin response) as a reliable aid in diagnosis or treatment

of cancer or other illness.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that any device that

is used to diagnose or treat diseases be proven effective before it

can be marketed. None of these devices has earned FDA approval for

diagnostic use, although several are registered as " galvanic skin

response detection devices. " The FDA has warned several manufacturers

to stop making false claims about diagnosis, and has banned some

devices from being imported. Various licensing boards in the US have

disciplined licensed practitioners who have used electrodermal

screening for diagnosis or treatment selection. In spite of all this,

the devices are still frequently advertised and promoted as diagnostic

tools.

Are there any possible problems or complications?

Electrodermal screening itself is relatively safe, although people

with implanted pacemakers should avoid electrical current. However,

misdiagnosis and improper treatment may cause problems. For example,

people have had healthy teeth removed based on recommendations from

this type of screening. One man was told he did not have cancer, when

in fact, he did. His treatment was delayed for several months because

of misinformation.

Relying on this type of treatment while avoiding or delaying

conventional medical care may have serious health consequences.

[Guest guest]

Oh, Janice, THANK YOU for this posting! I saved it to go through all of

the techniques you've listed with a fine toothed comb (if and when my 3

yr old sleeps) because we're still just getting our ducks in a row as to

how to help him. I want to try everything I possibly can for

that is drug-free. I am VERY grateful for these postings, including

this cinnamon and honey one. I am mostly a lurker - don't care for that

term, though, because it makes me think of someone plotting something -

but I DO learn a lot and try to apply it to . So thanks.

I am not sure why skipping a posting that one does not care to read is

such an issue. If anyone does not agree or does not wish to try

something, no one is going to force them. But lots of people appear to

want these kinds of topics, including me. It's a matter of choice.

Skimming the posting or topic isn't that time consuming - and believe

me, I have very little time online and I skim quite often. I often

wonder why the few sometimes control, or try to control, the many - not

just in this instance, but in everyday life. I am going to look for

the group that addresses homeopathic treatments for apraxia. I

don't know why I haven't come across that before, but I'm glad for the

suggestion, regardless of the manner in which it was delivered.

So I hope everyone on this board will continue to post their findings,

discoveries, new therapies, even theories because trying new things is

the only thing that leads to change and progress. All of us here need

one another's perspectives and experiences. If reiterating the same

information was all this board, and topic, was all about, we'd never

grow in our knowledge of what our kids need and how to help them.

PS My MIL is doing the cinnamon and honey tea for her cold - she's

actually better after 2 days.

HBOT therapy, etc. etc. I note that you took one post of mine with

regards to electodermal testing and used it as a basis for scorn..... I

along with the supplementation of piracetam. HE is recovering via a

Janice: I have found your posts extremely helpful in learning about

alternative treatments as well as the support you have provided to

parents that are starting on their path with apraxia. Please know

that you, and many others on this site are wonderful and I

appreciate all the info you have imparted. Just thought you should

know that. Kris W

I agree, if you are not open to DELETING a message. I find so much great

information that is natural that heals my son. These messages shoudl not be

taken personally if you dont belive it.

Re: [ ] Re: CINNAMON AND HONEY...THE MIRACLE CURE

Can you not just DELETE the messages that she sends if you dislike them so

much?

I think several of us have stated over and over that these sort of emails

interest them BECAUSE of their child being Apraxic and wanting to find

natural

or homeopathic methods to help them.

I see that her messages are perfectly fine and on topic as well. If

someone doesn't like them-- the delete button should be used, because the

benefits

to many others here far outweighs the negatives to the few

Couldnt have said it better myself Janice. For all of you who are new or

continue to read this thread, please take note that Janice's dilligence

along with several others' has played a major part of my son's recovery. I

applaude these Mother Warriors who dedicate their time and energy into

open-minded resolutions that are Natural. I also continue to commend those

who take the mainstream route, as that is their choice. My results have been

tremendous over the last year and a half. My son was severly apraxic and is

now functioning perfectly to the untrained eye. He is 3 and a half with a

full vocabulary, clear articulation, and building a strong core daily.

The good news is that we all have Choices. And it is your choice to read.

Bio med is not going away, as so many mainstreamers do not find the answer

in chemicals. It is remarkable that some of the top Doctors in the nation

rely on Nutritionists to solve health issues where chemicals leave off. Dont

forget how the studies are funded folks!

Only the best to you all on your search for healing.

CURE

Again, facutal information on electrodermal screening that you

used,with no relevance to apraxia and possibly dangerous to our

children when inappropriate or misdagnosis of illness. Again, needs

to be posted to a different group, not here.

Scientific Study

In a double-blind study, British researchers compared its results with

a Vegatest device to those of conventional skin-prick testing in 30

volunteers, half of whom had previously reacted positively for allergy

to cat dander or house dust mite. Each participant was tested with 6

items by each of 3 operators in 3 separate sessions, a total of 54

tests per participant. The researchers concluded that Vegatesting does

not correlate with skin prick testing and so should not be used to

diagnose these allergies. The authors estimated that more than 500 EDS

devices were being used in the United Kingdom to assess sensitivity to

potential allergens [8].

The Australian College of Allergy has concluded that " Vega testing is

a technique of diagnosis without scientific basis. " [9] In 1997, a

biomedical engineer found that placing ampoules in the honeycomb of a

Vegatest I device did not affect the device's readings [10]. This is

not surprising, because glass is not an electrical conductor.

Government Regulation

The FDA classifies " devices that use resistance measurements to

diagnose and treat various diseases " as Class III devices, which

require FDA approval prior to marketing. In 1986, an FDA official

informed me that the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health

had determined that the Dermatron and Accupath 1000 were diagnostic

devices that posed a " significant risk. " [11] No such device can be

legally marketed in the United States for diagnostic or treatment

purposes. A few companies have obtained 510(k) clearance (not

approval) by telling the FDA that their devices will be used for

biofeedback or to measure skin resistance, but this does not entitle

them to market the devices for other purposes.

EAV devices are not biofeedback devices. Biofeedback is a relaxation

technique that uses an electronic device that continuously signals

pulse rate, muscle tension, or other body function by tone or visual

signal. In biofeedback, the signal originates and is influenced by the

patient. In EAV, the signal is influenced by how hard the operator

presses the probe against the patient's skin. (Pressure makes the

electric current flow more easily between the device to the patient's

skin.) The now-defunct International Academy of Bioenergetic

Practitioners encouraged device purchasers to bill insurance companies

using biofeedback codes [12]. I believe, however, that doing this

could result in prosecution for insurance fraud.

The FDA has banned importation of EAV devices into the United States

and warned or prosecuted a few marketers [13] Foreign and state

regulatory agencies have also taken a few actions [13]. However, no

systematic effort has been made to drive them from the marketplace. As

a result, these bogus devices are being used by many chiropractors,

acupuncturists, dentists, " holistic " physicians, veterinarians,

self-styled " nutritionists, " and various unlicensed individuals . The

most common use is for prescribing homeopathic products. They are also

used to determine " allergies, " detect " nutrient deficiencies, " and

locate alleged problems in teeth that contain amalgam ( " silver " ) fillings.

Significant Risks

EAV devices pose several serious risks. The transmittal of false or

misleading health information can cause emotional harm, a false sense

of security, or a false set of beliefs that can lead to unwise

decisions. During the past ten years, more than 200 people have told

me about their experiences with EAV practitioners. In most cases, they

or someone they knew wasted hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars

for the test and recommended treatment. In some cases, the person

tested became very frightened and wound up undergoing expensive

medical tests that showed that the diagnosed conditions were not present.

Unnecessary follow-up procedures can also be a serious problem. I know

of several patients who had healthy teeth extracted after being

misdiagnosed with an EAV device. In another case, a man who consulted

a physician about rectal bleeding and abdominal cramps was examined

only with a Dermatron and told that his colon was fine. Unfortunately,

the man had colon cancer-which was not diagnosed until at least seven

months later when he consulted another doctor. Two others I know about

had advanced cancers were erroneously told they were cancer-free. One

of them was sold 33 products to get rid of " parasites " and other

nonexistent problems. One victim who tried to get a refund was told

that the products had been electrically specifically modified for her

and could not be used for anyone else.

The strangest report I have received came from a parent who, after

reading an earlier version of this article, telephoned to described

how his five-year-old daughter had been tested by an unlicensed

practitioner. When the child became restless, the test was continued

by probing the parent's hand while the parent held the child. The

parent also noted that the practitioner appeared to manipulate the

results (seeking a " 50 " reading on the device) by moistening or drying

the child's finger while testing to select the appropriate remedy.

What is the evidence?

Available scientific evidence does not support electrodermal screening

(galvanic skin response) as a reliable aid in diagnosis or treatment

of cancer or other illness.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that any device that

is used to diagnose or treat diseases be proven effective before it

can be marketed. None of these devices has earned FDA approval for

diagnostic use, although several are registered as " galvanic skin

response detection devices. " The FDA has warned several manufacturers

to stop making false claims about diagnosis, and has banned some

devices from being imported. Various licensing boards in the US have

disciplined licensed practitioners who have used electrodermal

screening for diagnosis or treatment selection. In spite of all this,

the devices are still frequently advertised and promoted as diagnostic

tools.

Are there any possible problems or complications?

Electrodermal screening itself is relatively safe, although people

with implanted pacemakers should avoid electrical current. However,

misdiagnosis and improper treatment may cause problems. For example,

people have had healthy teeth removed based on recommendations from

this type of screening. One man was told he did not have cancer, when

in fact, he did. His treatment was delayed for several months because

of misinformation.

Relying on this type of treatment while avoiding or delaying

conventional medical care may have serious health consequences.

This is all very fascinating to me!  Thanks for sharing!  Is there a recommended

brand or type of cinnamon and honey to use?  Organic?
