Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Hi Jeannine! That was great advice about plateau breaking by going back to the stage one diet for a few days! I am going to give it a try. You are just shrinking away!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Hi Sandy -- Yes, I am still losing weight but now the skin is starting to get really loose. I remember you asking me if I thought I would ever have plastic surgery and, at the time, I thought I would be OK but now, I'm not so sure. I really need to start working out. I try to stay active but I really think if I did weight training that my skin would shrink up some. I remember it did in the past. I have been smaller than this and weighed about 2o-25 lbs more. It's worth a try anyway but I am a bad exerciser. I never really liked it. I really don't want to be all flabby though. Well, I'll let you know how it goes. Take care --Jeannine >From: " Sandy Bangle " <dbangle@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: Re: Jeannine >Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 13:43:27 -0500 > >Hi Jeannine! > >That was great advice about plateau breaking by going back to the stage one >diet for a few days!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi Jeannine I work for Enzymedica's education department. Poor baby to have to go through all that! As a couple of people suggested always go low and slow when introducing a new product for him to take. Which kid's digestive enzyme are you giving him?

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear what your son is going through. Unfortunately it's not unusual for the medical industry to throw up their hands when their arsenal of drugs doesn't suppress symptoms long enough for them to declare a " cure. " The symptoms aren't the problem. Your son's body is crying out saying something is wrong. Suppressing the symptoms with drugs is NOT going to lead to health. It will compound the problem as the body's disturbance gets pushed deeper inward leading to stronger symptoms. My son was on a similar tailspin when he was a baby/toddler. Starting at age 6 months and for the next several years, he was on an antibiotic almost monthly. He ran fevers up to 105, too. He was fully vaccinated during this time as well. Nothing broke the cycle of illness until we said enough was enough and turned to homeopathy. He hasn't been on an antibiotic, Tylenol, or anything in about 6 or 7 years now. We don't use conventional medicine at all anymore. They did nothing but keep our family in a cycle of sickness. Hang in there. There IS hope and true healing available, but it won't be through conventional medicine. All the best to you and your son. Kay Can anyone shed some light on this for me ? I can not find a doctor who will take this seriously and help us figure out what is wrong. My son has constant fevers - Friday night it went to 105.3 and we went to the ER - they ran every test imaginable and came up with nothing. Sent us home with Tylenol This is not the first time we've been to the ER with a high fever He also is sick every single month - literally for the past 12 months he has been sick and they have given him an antibiotic each time. Croup, strep throat and sinus infections - he's been on 21 antibiotics total now and he's is only 3 years old !! Every single month I take him to the pediatrician 3 -4 times for fever and cold symptoms and he either has strep, croup or sinus infection. This weekend in the ER is was horrible, the IV was brutal and so traumatic - he cried for 7 hours. I can't take this anymore - the doctors don't have answers and we've seen 4 immunologists and the refuse to do the food intolerance test because the regular food allergy test and skin test come back normal but I asked for the intolerance test which shows delayed results and they said it's a waste of my time - won't show anything - how do they know that ? He has a fever over 100 every single day - every single month - and they keep telling me to just give Tylenol. UGH Can anyone help ???

Unfortunately it's not > unusual for the medical industry to throw up their hands when their arsenal > of drugs doesn't suppress symptoms long enough for them to declare a " cure. " Jeannine, Since your son has been on so many antibiotics he more than likely has no gut flora left which in turn causes ill health. While you're waiting to find out which direction you're going to go at least get this little one on a good probiotic and L-Glutamine which is an amino acid and is a gut strengthener. You may also want to consider some slippery elm bark given about 20 mintues prior to a meal which will coat the intestinal tract which has got to be inflammed. Grains in the diet also cause inflammation. I know for some diary may cause problems, whereas even though Kefir is diary it also has a lot of good flora and fauna to help heal. Good luck.
