Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 << linda satx >> Low body temp. In the PBCers it is very common..many of us have a now " normal " temperature of about 97.3. So as long as your doctor is aware of it I wouldn't worry. You need to worry if it goes up to 100 degrees...... <A HREF= " http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/coldbody.html " > The Cold Body Page</A> http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/coldbody.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Chronic low body temperature, also known as 's Syndrome, is related to many syndromes. It is found in many cases of allergies, apathy, chronic fatigue, " brain fog " , " personal failure " , depression, dizziness, hypoglycemia, lethargy, passive/aggressive syndromes, skin and joint conditions, sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, past sexual abuse, yeast problems, porphyria, and many other poorly defined chronic low health states. Obviously, not all chronic problems are related to chronic low body temperature; but it may be prudent to measure one's body temperature on a routine basis to see if this is a possibility. >ETC. >>>>> Joanne C.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 Hi Ronnie! Geoff Crenshaw here. Thank you for the very detailed report of your visit with Dr. Franco. Those of us who have never had the " pleasure " certainly appreciate your accounting! I hope these notes will help you... > Message: 14 > Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2001 22:10:36 -0800 > From: " Ronnie " <ronevans@...> > Subject: A Visit to Dr. Franco...Xrays overdose? > >> WHY ALL OF TH X -RAYS? I have never really been concerned with the cost of the consult. Good lawyers and good medicine are expensive. I am concerned with EFFICACY, SAFETY, and COMPETENCE. My wife has been ill since we got home. I am not entirely sure it is not because of excessive x-ray exposure. I'm also concerned with cumulative exposure. Is there anyone out there with a radiological background? Have we just increased our cancer risk factors dramatically? Is their technician and equipment competent? WHY NOT AN MRI? I've had 2 last year. << 1. X-rays will specifically show bone structures in a unique and inexpensive way as compared to CAT scans. MRI's (magnetic resonance imaging) use a very strong magnetic field to force water in tissues to turn a specific direction, similar to tidal flows due to the gravitational force of the moon. As such, MRI's, although they do image bone, are specifically for " soft tissue " imaging ... and they are still quite expensive. 2. Your wife's illness is most likely due to fatigue coupled with the drop in her blood count. It would have been better if you had eaten something prior to returning home. (I'm assuming you did not as you did not mention it.) After that, the usual routine for post-plasma donation would have been in order. In her weakened state it would have been easy for her to catch a cold, flu, whatever, not to mention she was already a sick lady when you went in and that much blood draw is quite an extreme shock to the system. Concentrate on rest and blood-building food ingestion techniques and avoid all refined sugars, sodas, teas and coffee for awhile. 3. Modern x-ray devices use approx. 1/100th the rads of those from only 30 years ago to image the same area with better results. If you are concerned about radiation exposure (which is what x-ray exposure is) you can have tests run at a local clinic of your own " rad " count. Caution is always good and x-rays are often used without necessity to limit exposure to " lawyeritis. " However, very few people truly end up with radiation poisoning due " only " to the number of x-rays they receive -- as compared to the number of people who get x-rayed. 4. MRI's ... 2 in 2 years. MRI's are an as-yet not well-known area of long-term consequence. Do not assume blithely that MRI's are by their nature safer than x-rays. It is a different issue altogether. HTH!

Do all the MDs on the Road Back referral list > automatically give you this many X-rays or is it peculiar to this clinic? I have heard people say that Dr. Franco gave them the most thorough examination they had ever received in their life and that includes the X-rays. While other doctors may take as much trouble with their diagnosis of a patient, I haven't heard of any as thorough as Dr. Franco. Chris.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I agree on not putting canola oil on the body! I think sunflower oil can be a nice oil although I have a preference to almond oil. I did a mix of brown sugar and sea salt and was very pleased with the results. I added some shower gel for body and slight (very very slight) sudsing. The oils pretty much stopped the sudsing but it felt cleansing. Ground almonds can be nice, too. I've put them in soap.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Please have your daughter try LDN. I'm sure it doesn't work for everyone, but my daughter is 41 and has secondary progressive ms. September of 2003 she started LDN. Before she started she couldn't read, her speech was terrible, she couldn't walk, was dizzy when she bent over, slept most of the time and generally felt terrible. Since LDN - she still can't walk, but now can stand, "march" in place and take a few steps, never feels dizzy or sick, catnaps a few minutes once in a while during the day, her speech is totally normal, she can read slightly larger than usual print and can when she really wants to she can read the small print in the tv guide. In short, she is a million times better. I think too much damage has been done - she's been secondary progressive for several years - and she may not get everything working, but before she started LDN I was thinking that I couldn't keep her with me at home and look after her myself. Now I work all day, she has a caregiver come in for an hour at noon to check on her and things are working out fine. She hasn't had anymore progression that we can see and when she wasn't feeling well one day I checked with the doctor to see if we should stop the LDN for a while and his response was "Never stop taking the LDN!!". This from a doctor who was very skeptical when we asked him to prescribe it, said it couldn't hurt but probably wouldn't help. I would advise anyone with ms to try LDN - it's done wonders for us. Just had to give you my two cents worth. Good luck!Bonnie>From: " Feole" <nanfeole@...> >Reply-low dose naltrexone ><low dose naltrexone > >Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Digest Number 1179 >Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 12:34:03 -0500 > >First time responder....my daughter, now 48, was dxd about 8 years ago with >secondary progressive MS.
