>>>, have you considered looking into Colloidal Silver. I did and bought

a

generator and now make my own but there are many on line that make their own

for a very minimal price. Have many web sites and belong to the silver list.

Here is just one :

http://colloidal-silver.com/ Peace,

Its been on my mind; your the first I know of who tried it and obviously its

helped you. It's on my list, along with 'pro and Olive leaf extract. For

the last 2 months I've been seeing this holistic doc and he's got me on 8

supplements and the natural zone diet. There's this stuff called

" springreen " that he just raves about; says its one of the best new products

to ever come out for CFIDS. I've felt slow & steady strengthening of my

system with this guy so I'm gonna follow his protocol until the progress

stops; or I'm cured and surfing 8 hours a day. The springreen definitely has

been a factor; he told me to take 6 per day; but a week ago I moved up to 10

or 12 per day and feel a bit better as a result. Anyway thanks for the

suggestion; if you have some time maybe tell more about what its done for

you. Best wishes~~

I am having a terrible time with my feet and ankles swelling. The rheumy says it is not the PA but my primary care physician says it is. Do any of you have problems with your feet or ankles swelling????

I have had problems when taking Vioxx. One thing to consider is whether any of your medications could be causing the symptom.

My husband do both the cardio and weights at night. With two small kids it

works well for us as we do the workouts after they are in bed. And since he

gets up before I do for work, this allows us to work out together and keep

each other accountable. Better to consistantly work out a night than to

sporadically work out in the morning is my thought. He's had great results.

My results have been pretty good (we're in week 10) but I'm noticing big

improvements this past week.

The one downside in doing cardio at night is its hard to not have eaten for 3

hrs prior. We dont even try. I figure I just wont lose the fat as

efficiently as working out on an empty stomach.

So, yes, you can still do the program at night.

Oh my gosh Cheryl. 4:30am!!! What time do you go to bed at night? I am

not a morning person. Having the kids wake me at 7 or 7:30am is bad enough!

I get up at 4:30 as my training sessions are M,W,F at 6 a.m. I do it early because as a medical transcription service owner I need to be home and online and working no later than 8 a.m. My work keeps me busy pretty much throughout the day and leaves me no time in the evening for working out as I usually have to catch up the afternoon dictation! I actually am in bed by 10 - usually falling asleep on the couch by 9!!!

Sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do!!

Dear Webmaster,

I feel as if the feat news is becoming the main part of the group. If

I wanted to subscribe to it, I would. An occassional article would be

interesting, but when the entire digest is feat news then something is

wrong. Could you please help correct this? Thanks

There was a great article in last weeks Newsweek on Hep C, in fact it was on the

front cover. And now this in Ohio. Maybe hepatitis c is finally getting the

attention. More attention, more research/

Another thing my TSH went as high as 8.5 while under treatment but returned to

normal after. I was lucky. It stil sometimes runs on the higher side of normal

and as I get older it may quit on me. It waselevated from a med I took in the

80s but returned to normal by early 90s'

Hope all are doing as well as can be expected. Oh yeah, did I read that ginger

could be good for inflammation.? i'm searching for a liver friendly substance I

can take for my arthritis.

Take care,

Liver friendly herbs for joint pain are Reishi Mushroom, turmeric and

Ashwagandha.

But I swear by MSM...I've been taking it for years and my arthrititis

never bothered me....since being unemployed I haven't been taking it and

my arthritis started bothering me again about a month after I went off

it...btw, it's not instant, it takes 3-4 weeks before you start noticing

a difference. You can do a search on the internet for MSM and get a ton

of information.

Yes, you remember right, ginger is good for inflammation. It is also good

for the nausea that accompanies treatment and this disease. I get a

standardized form from Nature's Way through i-Herb.com. They have some of

the best prices I've found.

Unfortunately Ohio article had misinformation about HCV. We don't need

that, we need more articles like the Newsweek one.

Hi

I don't mean to cut in but my son Will has myoclonic seizures and he

typically has more myoclonic sleep, but when there is a big change in the

barometric pressure or it rains alot he generally will have seizures.

Hi..

Yes, I've heard of SAD and researched it over and over. The thing is..I don't

get depressed. But my seizures get worse...much worse. Where I may go into

status one day in summer before ovulation, I'll go into 3 days of status.And, I

have more nocturnal seizures in the winter. Needless to say I don't look

forward to winter..not even the Holidays. I've even studied

chronobiology..looking for clues. I guess I asked the wrong question. I want to

know how our chemistry changes with the seasons...besides Melatonin... However,

when Zoe suggested I look at SAD..I did again.. and I ran across some

interesting research..not written for the layman however.. dealing with

Fractal and Chaotic Dynamics in Nervous Systems and Low Dimensial Chaos.

http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/ciszewski99application.html Another site however

made sense to me and got me thinking.. although they were theorizing and I

didn't agree with everything..it explained what may possibly be happening.

http://www.naples.net/~nfn03605/dheamig.htm So tell me what you think. Maybe my

problem is opposite of SAD. Maybe, and of course I'm theorizing myself, and

would have to have tests run, but maybe my melatonin levels are all ready low

and then in the winter when my body is asking for even more, my seizures get

worse because my body isn't able to produce. IF this is the case..light therapy

may still help..just fooling my body into believing it doesn't need more.

*sigh* Mark is lucky, I wish my education matched my curiosity..I'd be off and

running. Where this diorder may be miserable, it definately is not boring. This

also brings up another question. My accupuncturist was able to manipulate the

energy all ready within me...and without supplementation was able to stop my

early morning seizures....how? To answer the other part of your question..I have

lived all over.. right now I'm in Utah. Last year I was in Florida and before

that I lived in Yuma for some time...about the sunniest place on earth. Sorry

for being long winded... but I'm curious what you think about my theory.

I know they both increase. Barometric pressure especially is a big factor in my

seizure activity. The year I lived in Florida was the worst year of my

life......so far that is...
