the diagnosis?

Hi, I wouldn't wait to get help. If your state is like Florida, it can take a

while to get a proper SLP through Early Steps (EI program here). If your

granddaughter is having some problems, it's much easier to start addressing them

immediately rather than take a wait and see approach. I compare my son with

others like him and he is light years ahead because I came in and hit it hard

when I first had my suspicions. Please don't wait. Talk to her parents and

coordinate a game plan to attach the root cause. Talk to your early

intervention program and set up an evaluation. Get her all the help she

deserves. Even if it's not apraxia (and I pray for your sake it is not!), she

could be due some services that would help her " catch up " with her speech.

All the best!

Jim- I've been thinking about your situation, but don't know what protocols you

are on or what you have tried. I think I would sip Essiac tea in small amounts

continually, for one thing. My aunt had terminal lung cancer 10 years or more

ago and opted out of chemo because she felt so bad, did Essiac tea, and her

tumors shrank, she is still around.

My personal favorite way to stop pain is heat, I use either heating pads or

infrared ceramic heat lamps made for warming reptiles, ceramics on top of a

metal coil. I think mine came from Pet Discounters. There is an expensive IR

heating arc on www.excellentthings.com, I've seen an anecdotal account of a

woman using one for a short time before going in for abdominal cancer surgery.

The surgery revealed her tumors had all shrunk or disappeared.

Blessings to you, I would also use positive faith confessions based on healing

scriptures.

don't want to eat because it hurts so bad after I eat. Supplements hurt worse

than normal food.

or intestines. It did show a possible tumor in the left adrenal gland. It did

show multiple mets in the menasis (sp?). The doctor said that this is probably

what is causing the pain in the guts because it is cutting off the blood supply

to the guts.

worked for a year is now useless because I can't get any food or supplements

down.

any food I eat. I am in agony after eating it. I am so sorry, (Budwig

moderator) for picking fights with you in the past over supplements / no

supplements regarding Budwig. But for some reason, the FO/CC hurts really bad

after eating it for me -- probably a rare allergic reaction of some kind.
