Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I believe I have already stated my views as to whether or not this group needs a moderator to approve messages. In case you did not receive that communiue, I'll repeat myself. We could use a moderator to get new people onto the system quickly, and deal with any problems. However, we do not need a monitor moderator to approve (or disapprove) messages. We have been taking care of posting to the group just fine, and if you have set up the group to only work with your approval, it should be changed, because that is not what we want.

" Ask Ira. We had been discussing approving " new posters " rather than " posts. " To me, the setting that would best insure approval in a timely manner would be " automatic. " Perhaps he intends to read them all first. I wouldn't. Truly moderated lists have relatively little traffic, because no one likes to get the response from the moderator telling them whether their submission has been approved or not. Some like that sort of bottleneck. I don't and would certainly not propose to impose it here, although I do participate as a contributor to such lists and have never had a " submission " rejected. It is also a heck of a lot of work for the moderator. When moderating a list, I would only volunteer to step in when there were problems. Perhaps a better title would be " facilitator.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Chuck- I think that there has been a misunderstanding on my part here ....  When I said this to Ira: > I appreciate all that you are trying to do for this group. Most of the > things you said sounded fine to me, but I really don't like the idea of > needing someone to approve our posts.... You said: " That would not happen here. " So it seemed to me like you knew something that I didn't, or that you understood exactly what Ira's post meant. So then, to try and understand, I said: What exactly did Ira mean in his post then when he said: " i also set up the control to notify me of all posts so that i can approve them in a timely manner. " And you replied with: " Ask Ira. " I didn't understand that what you meant (I think) in the first response was: " I'm really not sure what Ira meant by his post, but I myself know that we won't have to have someone approve each post here. " Geez, Re: Re: hello , You wrote: > > Okay, that sounds good. > > What exactly did Ira mean then when he said: > > " i also set up the control to notify me of all posts so that i can > approve them in a timely manner.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Ira, Thank you for taking this on. I know with all that you are dealing with it can be difficult. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I do have to agree with Roni in that I do not like the idea of a moderator sensoring our posts. What we are doing is working and we have been able to communicate our disagreements to inappropriate posts effectively. I am not sure I would stay with the group if one person had power over all our posts. There is valuable information out there from everyone. It would be a shame to possibly miss something because one person may not think it needs to be seen. I appreciate you wanting to take this on but I think, if possible majority should rule on this subject.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi , Welcome I too have " spirited twins " (fraternal boys) who just recently turned 4, plus an older 7 year old son to boot! It has been chaos and survival mode since my twin boys were born. I am just now getting to a place where I can look honestly at my own self care and take the baby steps to make the necessary changes. There is a wonderful book (has nothing to do with Candida,), but everything to do with self care and would be a great support for anyone with health challenges, called " The Pace of Grace; the Virtues of a Sustainable Life " by Kavelin Popov. This book combined with this group, Duncan's whey/inulin/selenium/probiotic protocol and the wonderful book " Body Ecology Diet " by Donna Gates have really helped me begin to heal, though it is all in baby steps. Honoring what you can do and not allowing the guilt to control you when you don't care for yourself the way you know you want to. Instead, looking at the guilt as a messenger that a change needs to take place and then letting it go. Sending you a warm welcome. May you find what you need here. Be Well, Azalyne >Hi.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi , Diflucan is something that some people on the list have felt has helped them. Some others feel that it may kill some of the weaker yeasts while not killing the stronger form and then the void is later filled by the stronger yeasts. Also, you need to be careful with these meds if you have any liver or gall bladder complaints. But the trick here is to do your homework and see what works for you. Diflucan can also be a long term med. The diet is not that difficult to follow, but you need to be consistent with it.Check out previous posts to help you get up to speed. Understanding that little ones will take up so much time, just try to ease into it and do what you can. Maybe by starting to stay away from sugars, high glycemic foods and grains to start. Just a suggestion there are many here far, far more experienced than I am. BTW. Where and what is the Whitaker Wellness Center? Be well, <Rn2b@...> wrote: Hi.

Hugs Dee [ ] Hello It has been good to read all of your posts, and I too have been out of sorts too. I hope that all of you too have a blessed New Year! I finally saw my GI and things are looking up for me! My lft's had risen drastically and she had me do labs each week.....originally , she had me on weekly for 3 MONTHS!!!! YIKES....but now she has given me reprieve for twice a month! YEAH! My GI put me back on the 6MP after she had some of the typical AIH labs which showed that I was beginning a flare. Since I have lost all of this weight...(108 lbs now,) I will do just about anthing to NOT take prednisone. Now that I am on the 6MP, I am responding. My total bilirubin is the key....it was going up, but now it is down and I am thrilled! Bottom line, I did not go into a flare, and am back on the 6mp for the rest of my life...and that is OK.

I also start back into flares within 1 to 2 yrs after stopping the Prednisone.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yes, Sue, undenatured whey is anti-inflammatory in three ways at least. -- by virtue of being an imnmunomodulator that quiets an overactive immune response. -- by quenching inflammation caused by free radical cascades (oxidative stress). -- by breaking down inflammation-causing toxins. You could also call it anti-inflammatory by virtue of suppressing some pathogenic organisms in the gut that would cause inflammation by producing toxin load at the bowel lining.

We are thinking of moving to the city as we live in a town which they call a city but its not! We are moving because as soon as my fella gets sick they cannot deal with him here in Geraldton Western Australia, so therefore we have to travel 500kms just to see his rheumy and other specialist doctors in Perth Western Australia. And as you know when you are not working, because I myself are on a disability pension for a bad back, you just cant keep coming up with the cash to go to and from every time shit hits the fan. (so to speak). My Partner has just about tried everything, no doubt like a lot of people out there with PA and Humira is his last resort, so fingers crossed.
