Need Input

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just ran accross something that I find interesting.

Last year some of 's symptoms included:

Being hungry all the time.

Temperature was below normal usually ~96.

Of course she has nocturnal seizures which indicates an abnormal sleep

pattern.

Exessive sweating and then all of a sudden she stopped sweating entirely.

Fluctuating emotions.

All these things are regulated by hypothalmic function. Yet her focal origin

is frontal lobe.

Can anyone give me any input on how all this could fit together?

Carrol,

The decreased temperature, I think, was due to the dental amalgams. Prior to

getting them she was normal body temp. I remeber reading some where that Hg

toxicity for some reason lowers body temp. Maybe it is because it does damage

to the hypothalamus?

This whole thing is like a huge puzzle, like one of those bought at a yard

sale with missing pieces, haha...

I wonder if the hypothalamus has the ability to repair itself if given time?

If you all run accross anything in reference to this please let me know.

And Carrol, thanks for all the encouragement, most of the time when I run

accross material that relates to our situation I try to keep in mind that

there are others who may benefit from the material and it is good to know

that someone is using it.

Dear Tracey,

This is really interesting. I could relate to all of 's symptoms here

except that I usually struggle with not wanting to eat, even when I need to. My

body temperature generally is about 94.7 -- I threw away three 3 thermometers

before I finally believed this! My husband makes fun of me because I don't

sweat; I also don't handle the heat well at all. And, I'm an insomniac, having

major problems in my sleep.

The hypothalaus is located at the base of the brain. My medical dictionary

says:

" some of its fibers continue into the pituitary gland. Practically all

secretion of hormones from the anterior and posterior portions of the pituitary

gland or hypophysis is controlled by the hypothalamus. Nearly all parts of the

nervous system help to control the stimulation of the pituitary gland by the

hypothalamus. Every reaction the person or animal has, from pain to pleasure,

affects the hypothalamus, which in turn activates other systems.

The hypothalamus also plays vital roles in regulating body temperature,

controlling female rhythm, determining sleep and wakefulnes periods, stimulating

circulation and regulating the amount of food intake. "

The book went on to explain further that if the pituitary gland is removed,

" artificial administration " of hormones is very important. I suppose that I had

been viewing the subject of the hypothalamus somewhat passively, believing that

fluctuation of female hormones was normal. Rethinking it, however, and the

close proximity of the hypothalamus to the brain, it seems logical that there is

more to this than meets the eye.

Once again, Tracey, I think you're on to something!

Best wishes,

Carrol

My son just finished his first year of confirmation in our Lutheran Church.

I ordered a ciriculum from online for people with sp needs. It has a pic of a

man with DS on the front. I scanned a copy of the Lutheran Catecism that the

class uses and taped it on the front. It's way bigger than the other kids,

but has the same info.

I talk to the teachers ahead of time. We study what they are going to do in

class at home the week before. Then it's not new to him when they introduce

it in class.

We had discussions with the minister how to do this. and I were

thinking of just Homeschooling him in this area, but the minister was advocating

for

him to be in the class, as much for Maverick as for the rest of the kids.

If she wants to email me privately, I can share the info that I have.

Gwen,

There should be some committee for children or youth at the church- not the

elders who decide. She should have a conversation with the pastor directly.

My daughter will receive Confirmation with her peers this June 6th and has been

attending classes, which get modified as necessary- they will be going on a

weekend retreat in 3 weeks and I got an extra adult to accompany on the

retreat.

Confirmation in a Lutheran Church, I believe requires some statement about

why a person wants to join that church and will they follow Christian values and

perhaps participate in some service- join the choir, help out at events, etc.

IMHO, the elders dont get to decide- the family does and if that is not

working, well there are always other churches.

Yup....that's the committee that totally excluded Maverick from the youth

activities at our church. Not at all a supportive group of people. If they

haven't approached the parent, KNOWING that they have a child of confirmation

age

and suggested ways to involve her, they probably aren't.

And yes, you do hear bitterness here. LOL...the head of our youth group is

the same person who is his sp ed resource person at school. GO FIGURE!

And even more to 's comments, is why are they deciding to refuse the grace

of God to this child? I think I'd have a heart to heart with them and get these

elders to explain it.

The first thing I would ask church leaders who are unwilling to cooperate- " What

do you think Jesus would do in this situation? " Excluding anyone goes totally

against what Jesus stood for in his ministry! Darcy

Have you ever tried her on regular Adderall instead of the XR? My son

takes Adderall which helps him a lot, but when we tried the XR he was

an emotional wreak. He cried over nothing and his self esteem was

terrible. I would definitely suspect the XR. Try something else for a

while and I don't mean another extended release - he was the same way

on Concerta. Hope this is helpful.

Have you considered the Feingold diet. It has great results with kids who are adhd. Since we have gone GFCF and organic my kids behavior has really improved minus the junk.

Hi! I have a daughter who is 8. She does what your dd does, but

has much more control over it. I've learned a few strategies over

the years, and they helped to teach her how to control her feelings

over time.

Did you know that one human body close to another will begin to

mimick the breathing pattern of another? It's true. When your dd

is what i call " melting down " , try getting her sitting in the floor

with her back to you. If she has something she likes for you to do

to her, like stroking her hair, do it, talk calmly, reassure her you

understand, and your sorry she is mad, sad, etc. Deep pressure

massage is great during this. I target large muscle groups on my

dd, like her hips and thighs(i had to do this to get her to sleep

for years...another time the breathing trick works...barely breathe,

and let her body follow, and she will sleep), and massage deep into

the muscle slowly, and firmly. Keeping her close to you is key, so

she can hear your breathing, and overexaggerating slow deep breathes

will help her calm. This is not quick...in the beginning, it could

take thirty minutes to get to the point where her brain took over on

the breathing, but it learned over time to get there. You must

remain calm and supportive through the whole thing, but this

breathing thing works on most people.

I used to exaggerate my emotions when talking to her about

emotions. I used lots of visuals with words, and i used my own

emotions throughout the day to teach her more appropriate means of

getting control of her feelings.(whoever thought they have no

feelings really never knew an autistic child).

Stay in control...and girl, i know that's hard:0). But, she is

learning from you how to control herself. It is absolutely

essential to help them learn how.

Have you got a crash pad? We dont need one any more, but we used to

have a mattress that was loaded with pillows. I'd get her onto the

mattress, and put pillows on her and roll around with her until she

forgot she was mad. Include her sister in the game, and maybe

someday, she will initiate it during a meltdown.

About the meds. The Autism Research Institute has some studies done

by parent report on thier website, although they may have a biased

viewpoint in some areas, i thought that it was comparable to what

i've seen for myself by parent report. The last med the doc tried

with my dd(we just started last year), was horrible. I took her off

at the end of the third week, because she was not my little girl any

more. I took one of them the next day, and thought, no wonder she

felt so horrible! I could not believe i had given that to her after

experiencing it for myself. Research, research research, meds,

whether for your daughter, or yourself. Doctors do not tell you all

you need to know about anything, and meds are included.

The diet mentioned...we did that strictly for years. I do believe

it is one of the greatest helps we had, and we only removed red

dye and casein products.

Does your daughter have any friends? I see that as a huge

frustrator for mine. We're looking for one, if you want to get

together some time:0).

Hugs,

Scarlett

In my humble opinion, you need more real food. There is not much protein in

string cheese. I would also say to add more vegetables. I think you would do a

lot better by adding more food as compared to just a protein bar for many of

your meals. It would also help if you gave us more stats. What are your goals.

How tall are you? Are you drinking enough water? Getting enough sleep? What does

your cardio look like? Are you only doing lower body for weights? I would

definitely NOT go light on weights!

wrote: I have been stuck at 21% bodyfat for about 5

weeks. I am at the end of week 10 and I am still wearing the same jeans I

started in (very discouraging). My husband is convinced that I am building too

much muscle in my legs and that is the problem and wants me to go light on the

weights. I don't know what to do but I am really struggling!! Here is a

typical day for me:

Eats

M1 oatmeal, 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg

M2 protein bar or apple 2 string cheese

M3 chicken salad w/ low fat dressing sweet potato

M4 cottage cheese and yogurt

M5 protein bar

M6 string cheese or protein bar

I lift about 60 lbs max when I do my squats and do my leg workout as prescribed

in BFL. Help!!

[Guest guest]

The string cheese I eat is sargento and it has 6 grams of protein per stick so

that is 12 grams for both. I didn't think I needed more than 12 grams for a

snack. My goals is to be smaller and look better I also want to gain

control over my binging habit and that is considerably better. I am 5'4, drink

80 ounces of water at least a day, sleep at least 7 hours at night. My cardio

is 3 HIIT workouts on an empty stomach I also jog 2-4 miles about 4-5 days a

week. I do weights just like BFL recommends upper and lower body. The only

place I deviate is with extra cardio.

Thanks

I " m with Tara. Your meals seem insubstancial and you have NO veggies

listed. Also, water is a key ingredient in fat loss. I am up to 3

liters a day, even on my free day, and I think it is one of the

reasons the scale is moving for me.

I don't ever recommend anyone go " light on the weights " , mostly

because I don't believe that with out using artificial help you can

'build too much muscle'. Most likely you've built some nice muscle

and burned some fat...legs stay the same, but you are stronger and

healthier.

Did you say what size you started at? You say you have been stuck at

21% for five weeks, so you must not have been that high to begin with.

Everyone will tell you that it is very difficult to drop into the

teens in BF% (I, personally, have yet to have that problem). You

might be at a point where doing some of the body builder tricks are in

order, calory cycling, carb reduction then loading...all that stuff.

With out more complete stats its a little hard to guess.

The chicken salad is chicken with salad greens, that counts as a veg right? I

also have sweet potato listed and I thought that was veggie too. I started at

29% I think but I am using calipers on my own and am just not really sure. I

weight 157-156 depending on where I am at in my cycle. I am going to work on

adding more real food. I actually thought I was doing okay on that <grin> I

love my quick and easy protein bar I must admit.

Thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it.

It looks like a pretty classic " swell up " menu. Lots of cheese and

bars, very high sodium, big lack of fruits and vegetables. If you

increased your fruit and vegetable content and got rid of some of the

processed stuff you would probably be amazed. Most people report

dropping 3-5 pounds the first week they switch to a " lean out " menu.

Do You Want to Lean Out or Swell Up

http://www.skwigg.com/id55.html

Remember, nutrition is at least 80% of your results, and it becomes

even more critical when you're trying to break into the teens. There

are two ways to lower your percentage of body fat. One of them is to

lose fat, but the other is to gain muscle. If your husband's idea

about you easily and miraculously gaining lots of muscle were true,

your body fat percentage would be dropping like a rock. It's much more

likely that the low-protein, carb/sodium heavy meal choices are your

sticking point.

Are you cooking any chicken or turkey or lean beef yourself? It's much

higher in protein and lower in sodium than the pre-packaged stuff. Try

to eat more things without nutrition labels and bar codes - meat,

fish, poultry, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans. Try something

more like:

egg whites, omelet veggies, cantaloupe

protein shake, banana

veggie burger, lettuce, tomato, avocado, apple

chicken breast, big field green salad, olive oil vinaigrette, pear

steak, sweet potato, steamed asparagus

protein shake, strawberries

If eating on the run is an issue, it's just a matter of taking an hour

once or twice a week and prepping it all, doing some cooking, washing

some fruit, throwing it all in tupperwares and ziploc bags so it's

easy and portable when you need it.

There's also a big lack of healthy fats in your current diet, so you

might throw in some more things like cold water fish, olive oil,

avocado, and nuts. That will also improve your fat loss. And don't

forget free day. It can stall your progress if it's a little too free.

Hope that gives you some ideas.

Rock, this group is unique in that we know how to get results the

others do not; our approach applies as well to IBD as it does to

candida.

I mean, from what I've seen few other groups have a clue about

biological support, most are allopathically-oriented, and most won't

give up their carbs because the meat-and-potatoes mindset is mired in

that " bread is the staff of life " kind of thing. So, the groups are

social pockets of people whose only support for each other amounts to

listening to each other grumble and compare notes about the side

effects of their medications.

Several people are getting the more open minded souls on those lists

over here to candidiasis. The group colitiscrohns for example is

better informed now I hear, and we probably have some of their

members over here now

No I haven't tried it at my house and the only thing I know about it is that it did kill the dust mite and mold spores at my son's house. He has allergies and asthma real bad. Rita

Hi,

I need some input from the group.

I have Stage IV breast cancer with mets to the bones. I have been

doing alternative for one year.

Now the cancer is in my lymph nodes in my chest and it is closing the

Superior Vena Cava that drains blood from my head. I have been

having pressure in my head and lots of coughing for the past four

months, so that is why.

I have wanted to avoid chemo and have never had it, but at this point

I don't think I have a choice.

Please, I don't want suggestions on other alternative methods at this

point - I will try and pick up on that later. Anyway, I have pretty

much run out of money in that department.

My doctor is going to talk to me about my choices for chemo.He also

said I could choose radiation, but I think that would be worse

because of the area of my heart.

My question is: What can I do to alleviate the bad symptoms of chemo

while I am taking it. Any particular supplements, etc. I would

really appreciate advice in this area - especialy anyone who has gone

through chemo and found supplements or whatever that helped a great

deal.

Thank You,

Hi ,

I'm stage 0 breast cancer - so my experience was very different than

yours.

What kind of alternatives have you done? Is the cancer hormone receptor

positive?

Most oncologists will discourage you from doing any supplements - even

eating fresh fruits and veggies - while on chemo. Many supplements will

counteract the affects of the chemo. And because you will become

susceptable to bacterias, etc, fresh fruit and veggies are discouraged.

I did radiation and was actually okay with it. It took me awhile to

wrap my head around it, though. Since my cancer was on the right side,

the radiation would not hit my heart. Your situation is a lot different

than mine, so I can understand your concern.

My best to you.
