Sherre,

I will send this to your personal email as well... but has been

slow lately in making changes to accounts, including new accounts.

You will eventually start recieving individual emails, but in the

meantime I would suggest just keeping the website linked so you can

keep up on the messages.

Blame . Many others on the unofficial moderators' llists are

complaining fo the same problem - new subscribers not getting any mail,

people are trying to unseb and still getting mail 3 weeks later, changes

from Individual to Digest or no mail (or vice versa) taking a week or more

to take effect.

All I can suggest is to give it time and read the messages on the web site.

Annoying, I know, but that's about all you can do for now until wakes

up again.

Sorry.

wafasn2,

Before you can tackle the flow rate - you need to know how much drug is in

the bag. You will have 10 mL of a 1:5000 solution - a ratio solution is solve

d similar to a % solution - it is the amount of drug: total amount of carrier

substance. Ratio and % solutions are either compairing the weight of drug

to the weight of the total product (w/w) in which case the unit of measure is

in Grams, the weight of the drug to to the volume of total product (w/v) -

xGm/xmL or the volume of drug to the total volume of the product (v/v) - mL/mL

A 1:5000 solution has 1 Gm of drug for every 5000 mL (1 Gm/5000 mL). To

simplify this - convert your grams to mg- 1 Gm = 1000 mg. You now will see you

have 1000 mg/5000 mL. Reduce your fraction :: 1mg/5mL.

If you are going to inject 10 mL of solution into the IV bag, you will have

2 mg of drug in the entire bag (1mg/5mL = xmg/ 10 mL).

Now that you know how much drug is in the bag (2 mg) we will look at what

the order is for:

5 mcg / min.

A flow rate is Volume/time (mL/hr or mL/min). We need to determine the

amount of drug as an equivalent in volume. We need to know how much volume is

in

the bag (500 mL). You have 2 mg/500 mL (there is 2 mg of drug that is

injected into the 500 mL bag - we will not count the addition of the 10 mL - it

is

inconsequential - overfill/10% rule, or the tech could withdraw it from the

bag).

The order has the drug in mcg - we've found it in mg = convert:: 1 mg = 1000

mcg

1mg/1000 mcg = 2 mg/x mcg; x = 2000 mcg.

You have 2000 mcg /500 mL.- you now need to find out what volume 5 mcg is

equal to - then you can substitute it in the order:

2000 mcg/500 mL ( I would again reduce) = 20 mcg/5mL (you may reduce further

if you like)

20 mcg/5 mL = 5 mcg / x mL (this is from the order)

x = (5 mcg*5 mL)/ 20 mcg = 25 mL / 20 = 1.25 mL :: 5 mcg = 1.25 mL

Substitute (5 mcg/min) = 1.25 mL / min (this is your answer)

Hope this helps :-)

I spritz mine a very little with witchhazel when I add any colorant/scent to

help it mix better in a big bowl with a wire wisk. Then I put my salts on a

cookie sheet in a warm, turned-off oven for a while until I am sure that they

are completely dry. It can clump if stored in an airtight container when not

completely dry (as well as get ickys growing in it).

Hi I made baths salts a week ago. They where fine till today. Some

Hi, Emilie. Sorry to hear about . The only thing that really works

for when his back hurts is warm showers and Celebrex. You may need

to up her dose of Naproxen. When the dr sees her, she will probably do

the test where she has bend over and checks the spine

flexibility. There is a name for the test which I never remember. The dr

marks a spot on the back (like with a pen) and then has the child bend

over. Then they measure. At first when the dr did this test, did

not do well; he couldn't even touch his toes. Now when they do it he,

most of the time, can without a problem. He is doing much better. Chris'

pain is a symptom of his spondyloarthropy. I hope feels better

soon. What about trying an electric blanket instead of a heating pad?

Some kids have good results with those. Hugs, Michele ( 18,

spondy)

Need Help Please

Hi everyone,

had been doing well off meds since June. Now we are back on

Naproxen for the second time in 2 months. My concern right now is she is

having pain along her spine in her back that she hasn't had before. We

are scheduled to see Dr. Rothman on February 7 since she is out of town

all next week. My question is this.. What can I do in the meantime for

her back pain? The knees that are hurting I am used to. I have tried a

heating pad and she will not tolerate it at all. I am at a loss as to

what to do. The baths are not helping either. I am also worried that if

this is now affecting her back, what does that mean for the future?

I appreciate any and all advice.

Thanks,

Emilie ( 6 Poly)

ODD = Oppositional Defiant Disorder

( ) NEED HELP PLEASE

Well, my meeting did not go quite like I expected. In fact my

daughters teacher of record REALLY must not like me, because I talked

to her the day after the meeting and I had made a comment regarding

my health (I have autoimmune cirrhosis, peripheral neuropathy,

fibromylagia, and quite a few others..but you get the jest.) and her

teacher honestly asked me if I had ever considered letting someone

else raise Kati and that it might be the best thing. She also told

me that I needed to help from home like grounding her from TV, etc.

I was floored. Well, today I went to the school to see if I could

get the minutes from the meeting and when the secratary was helping

me, here comes the teacher. She actually then asked me who had

diagnosed Kati and that she doesn't see Kati as having anything but

ODD (I don't even know what this is..

[Guest guest]

Dear Ginger,

Hugs to you....

Most teachers try very hard with our kids. then there are some that think

they either cured them, or know more than the doctors do that diagnosis them.

I would re-write everything that was said and Ask her to put in writing to you

what qualifications does she have to DX your son? How much training does she

have in Autism and where was she trained? Ask for a meeting and go with an

advocate just for support/witness & help taking notes.

I am so sorry that teacher said that to you. From what you said about your

health, you sure don't need added stress, which the teacher is now causing.

were you able to get the minutes from your meeting?

I can't believe administration didn't speak to that teacher for what she said

at the meeting. It sounds like you are on-top of things and your not letting

her get away with speaking to you like that. best luck to you. Hugs again!!!

explained to her that even my youngest son has AS and that I have

friends online who have daughter with AS and it seems that there is a

huge difference in symptoms and I don't believe enough research has

been done against girls. WEll, I am going to file several complaints

about the meeting and now these comments. If any of you could email

me your child's story/symptoms/obstacles and possibly some forms of

treatment/school adjustments that have worked, I would greatly

appreciate it because I could use as many experiences as possible

right now for Kati's case. Happy late NEw Year to all.

Wow Ginger. She is a specialist in the field of Autism?? Where did she get her

degree? That was very rude of her to suggest you can't take care of your own

child. ODD is Opsessive Defient Disorder. She's positive the child will not make

it passed high school. Now she sees into the future? That in it self is very

negetive thinking. I sure hope she doesn't tell your daughter any of that crap.

I would file a complaint also. Take care,Betty

ODD is Oppositional Defiant Disorder. How old is your daughter? Does she receive

SpEd services? Does your daughter have an FBA/BIP in place? If not, this would

be a request I would make of the District. Included in the BIP would be positive

behavior supports/ accommodations that would be put into place to help with your

daughters behaviors in school. It sounds as though you are dealing with a lot in

regards to your health. Perhaps it would be helpful to you to get suggestions of

positive behavior interventions you could use at home. It is important to have

continuity between school and home.

ODD = Oppositional Defiance Disorder. " ODD is a condition in which a child

displays an ongoing pattern of

uncooperative, defiant, hostile and annoying behavior toward people in

authority. The child's behavior often disrupts the child's normal daily

activities, including activities within the family and at school. " - WebMD

Search ODD

" She actually then asked me who had diagnosed Kati and that she doesn't see Kati

as having anything but ODD. "

When did this teacher graduate from medical school? Or is she a Ph.D.

psychologist? Is she qualified to dx ODD?

I would make the school aware that the teacher does not have the right to dx, or

contradict actual dx, but only make observations to support the case of the

school. This is another one of many reasons to have an IEP in place.

There is a book called 'dance of defiance' which describes a mom's

journey and also what ODD really is. The mom is working on her phd in

social work at the moment... i bought for several reasons but it

helped me define in my own mind what ODD really is... and is not...

there are real differences of course and the teacher has very little

biz laying that statement out there as a matter of course.

There are several ODD . I signed on to them when I wanted

to learn more about it. below is a link to the book.

My big comment (Besides wanting to slap that stupid (Sorry) teacher

you are dealing with is, she is calling your daughter Oppositional

Defiant (disorder) and I am saying that teacher sounds pretty

oppositional and like a B (with a scracthy spot, if you catch my

drift!) I am not impressed with her at all.

My son had Adhd and ODD as a diagnosis first , then eventually it

became Asperger Syndrome.

She had no right to insult you like that, and I hope you don't let

her walk all over you at all. We can be nice, but we don't have to

let any one walk over us.

If I had to deal with people constantly trying to control me, I

would have ODD symptoms, too.

I have three boys and they ARE ALL so different, yet all diagnosed

on the autistic spectrum.

If she has seen one kids (especially girl) with Aspergers, SHE HAS

SEEN ONE KID with A.S.

My oldest seemed unable to handle the classroom environment. He was

constantly climbing on kids and became very defiant when it came to

writing.

My suggestion would be to find out what it is that is making her

become 'defiant' or (better word) upset. Something causes

everything. We just have to figure out what that is. (Then,

hopefully we can stop it)

If the teacher says " nothing. " Don't believe her. At the same time

a nice Functional Behavior Assessment might help. She may need a

plan to deal with any crisis that gets her upset (find out the

warning signs of her getting angry, find out what to do in those

cases, etc)

I sure hope this helps.

Keep trucking and keep everything in writing and keep strong ;-)

One of the phrases last year's teacher used with my son (in the

stages of a meltdown) was " I control you. "

Charming.

And now I joke with my son about things like that.

What did you do when he said that?

Scream.

And so did he think that was effective?

But we were at a bookstore and I mentioned the teacher by name, and

ds told me I wasn't supposed to talk about it in public. Which I

shouldn't.

Don't tell me that Aspies have no tact.

This teacher needs to lose her job and I will tell you why.

She has discriminated against you based on your medical condition. She

has no legal or professional right or reason to suggest that anyone

else parent your child other than you. You need to file a big fat

complaint against her based on her discrimination and ethical

practices. She is also doing your child more harm than good since she

won't work with you on your daughters issues. She passed judgement and

seems to think that is enough. Don't stand for this, my friend, file

those complaints and I will be praying for you.

All the best to you,

Dave

I actually wrote a reply to this yesterday and the darn computer froze up and I

lost it. Don't you hate that?

Before getting rid of evil teacher, I would make good use of her. I have found

that teachers or therapists who hate your kid can be really useful because they

will tell you all the problems your child is having. granted, they do it as if

they are tattling on a bad boy, but you still get a great idea of what kinds of

problems your child has at school. So I would sit down with evil teacher and

ask her to expand on why she feels your child won't graduate high school. Make

her get down to specifics - what exactly does she do in class. Make a list.

This can be a great help in writing a more appropriate IEP that addresses her

specific needs.

2 things I can also think up to deal with know-it-all types. One is to make a

joke of it, as if you feel they are joking and not serious. So if teacher says

someone else should be raising your dd, laugh and say " is there a big market for

kids with learning problems out there? " I don't know - my dh is usually the one

good with quips on short notice. But that is just such an ignorant thing to

say. So the second way I usually deal with these types is to have my notebook

out and write it down with great show....in other words, let the person know you

are writing down exactly what they are saying. I will even repeat each word as

I am writing it. And then use it in your follow up letter. If you ever have

to go to due process or even mediation, you can produce these letters that

document a pattern of harrassment from this teacher. If you are requesting that

your child get a different teacher, you have the documentation to prove the

need. Without writing follow up letters to these issues, you have no proof and

teacher, if confronted, will just tell everyone that you are overly emotional or

that you took it the wrong way.

I actually had a crappy IEP meeting the last week of school before Xmas in which

I explained that my 10 you ds was stressing out from all the problems he is

having at school. The teacher replied, " Maybe having him stress out isn't such

a bad thing " under his breath in a sarcastic manner. Obviously, he is clueless

(sarcastic, but clueless.) And I used that in my follow up letter with a list

of reasons why stress is a problem with people with HFA. But I can almost bet

he will be more careful in how he talks to me in the future. And if not, I

will have a long paper trail to back up whatever I want to do about the problem.

( ) NEED HELP PLEASE

Well, my meeting did not go quite like I expected. In fact my

daughters teacher of record REALLY must not like me, because I talked

to her the day after the meeting and I had made a comment regarding

my health (I have autoimmune cirrhosis, peripheral neuropathy,

fibromylagia, and quite a few others..but you get the jest.) and her

teacher honestly asked me if I had ever considered letting someone

else raise Kati and that it might be the best thing. She also told

me that I needed to help from home like grounding her from TV, etc.

I was floored. Well, today I went to the school to see if I could

get the minutes from the meeting and when the secratary was helping

me, here comes the teacher. She actually then asked me who had

diagnosed Kati and that she doesn't see Kati as having anything but

ODD (I don't even know what this is..I know what OCD is, but not ODD)

and that Kati is a very defiant girl and she really doesn't think

she'll make it. I thought she must be talking about college, but

then she says In fact I'm positive she'll never make it past high

school. GRRRRRRRR!!!!!! I played it kewl, but I am so frustrated. I

explained to her that even my youngest son has AS and that I have

friends online who have daughter with AS and it seems that there is a

huge difference in symptoms and I don't believe enough research has

been done against girls. WEll, I am going to file several complaints

about the meeting and now these comments. If any of you could email

me your child's story/symptoms/obstacles and possibly some forms of

treatment/school adjustments that have worked, I would greatly

appreciate it because I could use as many experiences as possible

right now for Kati's case. Happy late NEw Year to all.

Hi, I dont know if this is any consolation to you or not, but I

notice when Ive been two weeks into the programme without any cheats,

something weird starts happening. Like my system then starts to try

and eliminate toxins that have been stored and I start getting really

sick with what I believe is detoxification. I believe that once the

body has been getting what it needs and is ready, it starts to deal

with the deeper problems and gets to work.

I could be wrong and wouldnt want to take chances on your health, but

this does happen to me and I even taste metals as well, which shows

my body still contains other toxicities that need addressing and Im

sure this could mean anything like virus and stored chemicals and

whatever else. I get really sickly as well and can look like hell

and I believe its a case of hanging in there through this really

difficult stage...

Thank you, Adam, for your kind reply. It is good to know I'm not alone

in going thru this. Maybe the first weeks are the hardest ones on the

program. Today I'm doing better. I slept fairly well and since I've

cut back on the VCO and on the other supplements my stomach has

settled. Could be that I've increased them too fast. When did you

start the program? Are you on the full dose of supplements/VCO already?

All the best,

Ellie

Hello Elli!

Consider this post a barrel full of encouragement! You can do it! " )

I would say that if you are having that much difficulty keeping food

down, and you look that sick, you may want to try the nine day program

found in the file

C) Digestion & Digestive Problems, Help for

It might help settle things out for you and get you moving on the

right track. Don't give up, its hard, very hard, as many of the

people on this group could tell you, but we would also tell you how

much its worth the effort. You can do it!

me feel grossed - and I don´t know of anybody who could help me with

doing these. Also, I can't take the high fats yet. What should I do?

I'm thinking about getting off the program but my mind tells me it is

not such a good idea...

==>Hi Elli. Because you have a history of stomach ulcers and GERD

you do need to take hydrochloric acid (HCl), because ulcers and GERD

are caused by low stomach acid. The symptoms of high stomach acid

and low stomach acid are exactly the same. Sauerkraut is even better

than taking HCl because it stabilizes stomach acid; it acid is too

high it lowers it, and if it is too low it raises. Eat at least 2

tbls. of a good unpasteurized sauerkraut found in the fridge at the

health food store (do not buy the Bubbies brand because it heated

which destroys the goodies in the sauerkraut).

> Is this all caused by die-off? Should I lower the supplement

==>Yes, upchucking can be die-off symptoms because candida in your

stomach is being killed off creating more toxins. Upchucking is a

way for the body to get rid of those toxins. I also had ulcers,

GERD, and a hiatal hernia, and at one point during my candida program

I could only eat 9 foods; I had no choice because everything else

came back up. It is interesting that my supplements did not come

back up however. But I did not have the benefit of this high good

fats program 20 years ago.

==>I couldn't do my 1st enema either, so my mother helped me. After

that I found it was very easy. Confronting it was worse than

actually doing it. Cancer clinics in Mexico have all of their

patients do coffee enemas. The bulb syringe (8 ounces) is the

easiest to use.

==>There are other good fats other than coconut oil, which is highly

antifungal (butter is less antifungal), including Extra Virgin Olive

Oil, lard, chicken and goose fat, fats in seafoods, etc. and of

course cod liver oil.

==>Hang in there. Things do get worse before they get better.

Natural healing is not a steady uphill climb towards health. It has

its ups and downs particularly in the beginning. If you saw a photo

of candida in the stomach you'd understand why you are getting so

sick - I cannot find one right now.

==>The only way to cure candida (which will also cure your GERD and

ulcers) is to build up your immune system with nutrients so it

becomes strong enough to " make " candida change back into the friendly

organism it is supposed to be in the body.

Hi Ellie, your welcome.

I started the programme months ago now but have had issues along the

way with cheats which are a stumbling block to my improvements. Im

working on this though and had been doing really well but cheated on my

birthday (3 November) because I got weak and decided if I was going to

cheat, Id cheat good. Well in doing that I got pounded and Im still

being pounded and its been approx 12 days on diet now and im still sick

as a dog. Its never worth it, not even on your birthday ;-)

Im not on full supplements, havent got the money. I concentrate mainly

on diet and do what I can with supplements when I can get them. But

yeah I believe the few few weeks or even longer or the hardest to get

through and hang in there with. Its a real time of testing, becuase so

many times you feel chronically ill during the process of healing that

it's a feeling that you're not succeeding or things are worse or just

not getting better. And that's the time I believe that most healing is

going on and maybe too fast sometimes for us to cope with. Good thing

to slow down on some of the antifungal stuff and glad to hear you have

had some relief. Keep on, and try not to ever cheat. Cheating for me

throws me back to square one and my body has to start from scratch in

going through the process of healing again.

Hi Adam,

sorry to hear that you are still suffering from your birthday treat.

I feel with you. Just a little slip in the diet and then weeks of

suffering... You're right the cheat is not worth it.

It looks like the time at the beginning is the hardest, at least

this is what I've taken from the files and the messages here. Hope

it will get better after a couple of months... time goes by slowly

when waiting for better times, doesn't it?

But we have a positive outlook, we have our health to gain. It's

worth taking the trouble and then being healthy again.

Take care,

Ellie

Bee, thank you so much for your encouraging words. Yes, I'll hang in

there... one day I will be better. I'll get the HCI for my digestion

and eat sauerkraut (my Dad makes it fresh - yes I'm a Kraut from

Germany )

What kind of enema should I do for the first time? A plain water one

or the coffee enema? I did the Vitamin C treatment today and reached

bowel tolerance with 4000 mg. It makes me feel better now.

Thank you for all your dedicated help and support and all the work you

put into this - you have an unbeliefable wealth of info here and I'm

so grateful I found you and this site. It is a true blessing.

Ellie
