Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Jigna, Actually the TWO are considered the BEST combo by ME in my study guide book review which is in the files section. However I also review other books and two other combinations. But I have always maintained these two be used together. Nice to see another professional likes the same combo, Fred! The tutorials on this site are specifically for studying for the PTCB. Most have been made by myself. Some by Dora and other Texperts or from internet sites and material. The LINK section also provides some links to other study sites and material that can/may help . Having a PLAN to put in ACTION for studying is the FIRST and foremost thing that one can do to ensure better preparedness for the exam.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Anyone have a Cancer protocol that they feel may help. Also anything that could help with gaining weight. A highly nutritious food is the coconut. One of the only fruits with a high level of readily digestible protein. The thai coconut will contain alot more and sweeter variety of juice than the hawaiian. This product may or maynot contribute to weight gain. But, at this juncture, weight is not the main issue. A person cannot keep claiming a condition and hope to get rid of it. Has the parasite issue been thoroughly covered?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hi Bobby; welcome in --here's the protocol that I cobbled up: To start it off, a couple of things that bowel disorders have in common can be adressed to produce pretty uniformly positive results, and both amount to a food approach that is missed or contradicted by medicine. About 96% of bowel disorders contain a component of dysbiosis that is at least aggravating the condition if it didn't cause it. Dysbiosis only means bad bacterial fluorish that incidentally produces a rather large toxin load, which is irritating to the bowel lining 24/7. Actually, medicine, probably the antibiotics, contributed greatly to the Crohn's and dysbiosis. Dysbiosis is corrected mainly by low-carbing and taking either high- inulin foods or powdered inulin to the amount that is missing in the modern diet, about 4/5 of optimal levles or about 12-15 grams. It's blatantly non-toxic but can increase gas production for a couple of weeks. Most cases of illness including toxin-driven illnesses have systemically depleted the master antioxidant and detoxifier, and in local pockets as is seen in arthrits and Crohn's disease lesions, the glutathione can be also completely depleted, which allows a large amount of inflammation and free radical damage. This is serious in any degenerative or inflammatory disorder and in Crohn's the unchecked free radical damage irritates and perforates the bowel lining probably even more than the original irritant because damage proceeds like a chemical reaction until it is quenched, and the required glutathione has been depleted. So, we use a basic program to reduce the toxin load in the first place with inulin, which feeds the good, probiotic bacteria so they can control bowel ecology. We also use undenatured whey and selenium, which produces the glutathione, which reduces irritants as well as the actual free radical damage, which occurs in cascades until they are quenched anyway. Glutathione is also an immunomodulator that controls the inflammation caused by the immune response itself. To add to that, because we know that carbohydrate foods feed bad bowel ecology, we go low-carb to help starve them out. Rather than listing the hundreds of foods that are OK on a low-carb diet, you should learn which few are not OK: potatoes, corn, all sugary and starchy foods, sweet potatoes, yams, sugar beets, most fruits, that kind of thing. I think the rice will impair your progress. It seems well and good but your probiotic bacteria do not used it half as fast as candida and bowel pathogens do, and I think you've probably been maintaining the infection with it. Some of the comments on my feedback page are from people with Crohn's who successfully used the approach; you should feel a material improvement in 10 days to a month, and continue to improve for two or three months. If you choose to use an effective but relatively expensive supplement, I'd recommend a high-dose probiotic along with the inulin to seed a starter culture perhaps faster than you would without it. This is not absolutely required but will speed up the reconditioning of the bowel ecology. Here's an example on my site; you could use 5- 10 capsules of my first choice, 20 caps of the others, or a third of a pouch of VSL#3 with the inulin: Inulin and selenium: http://tinyurl.com/2m29z undenatured whey: http://tinyurl.com/cuzcc The glutathione created by undenatured whey and selenium is also used directly in the ATP energy reaction; not only does it reduce the toxin load that impairs energy production, it increases actual energy production and recovery too. More info on glutathione is in my references; even if you don't read them you can see in Dr. Gutman's and the FDA presentations that low glutathione is uniformly bad and actually all degenerative processes rely on glutathione being low. http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/glutathione-references.html I don't think that IBD running in the family is a concern because so does a diet low in glutathione precursors and low in inulin, the two main factors that will reliably lead to disorders. I can suspect that you'll probably need a potassium supplement; I use " No-salt " no-sodium salt, and I don't use table or celtic salt at all. Salt is antagonistic to potassium, and I'd recommend that casual exposure to salt is plenty. A degree of malabsorption always exists in bowel disorders, so you'll need a little extra vitamins and minerals until you heal. I'm not a nutritionist as I told you but these doses are fairly low and probably currently depleted anyway. * Zinc, 50 mg daily * selenium 400-600 mcg daily * undenatured whey 70 grams, (about 2 heaping tbsp, twice daily) * inulin, a heaping tsp, (about 4 grams), three or four times with meals. * vitamin C - 2,000 mg at least twice, preferably 3x daily * b-50 complex with folate also at least twice * vitamin D, about 4,000 IU daily * vitamin A, 10,000 IU daily * vitamin E, 400 IU daily * trace minerals, perhaps montmorillonite * potassium, about 2 grams with your food, as " No-Salt " or some such. You might initially need a few to several caps of betaine HCl with each meal, until you start secreting adequate stomach acid again. Give some consideration also to chromium, vanadium, and also calcium, magnesium, and boron. With regard to the achy feeling and brain fog, etc. Those symptoms are from toxin and free radical load and they'll be reduced as you reduce toxin production and quench toxin load. The liver and kidneys, the detoxifying organs, are the biggest and second biggest users of glutathione. Lactose intolerance is eliminated by correcting bowel ecology with inulin. That explains the on and off of the condition. Using inulin to increase probiotics allows them to eat the lactose so you don't react to it. So, traces of lactose in the undenatured whey will be OK. Asthma, as you'll see in the glutathione references, is a condition of toxin load usually depleted glutathione in the lung tissue. Adequate glutathione will also reduce the sinus problem. You'll be using undenatured whey, but you should know that the sinus and the lungs can absorb glutathione directly, and glutahtione is available as Mucomyst, a prescription asthma inhaler. This does not increase systemic levels so perish the thought. Blood pressure and other stress symptoms are increased by any physical stressor including malnutrition and toxin load. You might not be on the BP meds for long > I have been taking these supplements Tribulus 500mg, VitaminD3, > Acidophilus, Vitamin C 100mg, Vitamin E 400iu, Alpha Lipoic Acid > 600mg, Vitamin A 10,000iu, CoenzymeQ10 150mg The tribulus will not increase metabolic rate as well as an HGH increase does. This might be an entirely new approach to you but it should be interesting reading: http://members.shaw.ca/SomaLife-gHP/ Keep taking the lipoic acid; it recycles glutathione, but does NOT provide the missing precursors in the undenatured whey and selenium. The CoQ10 may not be necessary for long; it also helps to recycle glutathione but usually the body creates enough of it and it's mainly useful if you're taking drugs such as statins that deplete CoQ10. You can take as much undenatured whey as you need to stop the flares; once glutathione is replete you shouldn't get them, and any excess will go to healing the leaky gut syndrome that is invariably present in bowel disorders. Let's not assume for the time being that you have a serious systemic candida; this might remain a non-issue.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi ! I suggest you stop taking it for a while ( say for the next 5 days). When you start to fell better, you try taking it again but at a lower daily amount ( say, starting at only 1 tbsp per day, then increasing to 2 tbsp after a week). At the amount you're ingesting daily, this could be above your saturation level, resulting to your problem. Thus, try not exceeding 3 tbsp. Ok, but others may have a better recommendation on your inquiry. All the best, Sev Magat OLIVE NYAKAMA <mazolie@...> wrote: Ive been using vco for more than a year now and have seen all the benefits.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have been using it for nearly 8 years no and I have never had any diarrhea in that time for any reason that I can remember. I have been a little soft a few times but normally have 3-4 movements a day all of which are like large marbles of various sizes and float so well that sometimes they do no want to flush.I have been told on many occasions that I need to drink a lot more water. I probably average close to 2 liters a day. I do not take the oil as a therapeutic protocol but use it in many things. Probably average 2-4 tbls a day but seldom would make 5-6 tbls.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Tammy, I am so sorry. I feel your pain. I have had 2 nerve block injections this past summer. I have a bulging disk that is pinching a nerve. I am currently taking Neurotic that relieves some of the pain. I can sympathize with the sitting. If I sit too long my leg has a shooting pain down the back of it and when I get up I can barely walk. Keep applying for disability. Has your doctors written letters stating your injury and requesting disability for you? I have been on disability years ago for anorexia,don't give up. It took me a while to get on it myself.

Unfortunately I had tons of evidence, but had to get all new records, because anything performed before you filed, or maybe it's before you couldn't work anymore, is inadmissible. I had 2-3 years of MRI's Cat Scans, Injections, P/T , Acupuncture, operations you name it, but they didn't count, because I did the honorable thing, and Tried to work. The lawyer didn't cost me anything up front. They took 25% of my settlement or $4500 whichever was more, that's it. It was worth it, because I know people who have tried it for years without a lawyer. To me the lawyer was worth every red cent. Start at your county or city assistance office first. They can even provide free legal service to get you the food stamps if your denied. Hope this helps some.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Dear Dave, I just had to add something to an email you wrote. You wrote that you had to get new records because anything performed before you filed was inadmissable for SSDI-that may be a state ruling. I had to quit work in August of 2003, had my back fusion in November 2003, filed for disability in February 2004, and received it in June 2004. They used all my medical records from when I first started going for the back pain. I have a friend in Oregon who had the same thing happen to her as I did, she started her claim in Nv. like I did. But it took her over 3 years to get her SSDI. From what I understand , almost everything differs from state to state. My friend in Oregon can get better supplemental insurance, and better rates than I. My insurance agent said that's also a state thing, and people back east have to pay much higher rates for Medicare supplemental. I guess I'm supposed to feel lucky, but I mostly feel cheated with what they charge for supplemental, and dental care. Hope you don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to correct you, just add what happens in my state. Take care, hope you're able to sleep, it's almost midnite here, and I'm not even drowsy. Another sleeping pill nite.. Jeannie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Finette: I had really bad vertigo for ONE day, last winter. It was really scarey, so I can't imagine what it is like every day for you. I had a milder vertigo yesterday and it got scarey again, thinking it might get worse. I am a little better today, but not good. I was thinking it is from a flu virus or something. NOT sure though. I don't take any of the abx to destroy my immune system though, and with lots of herbs and vitamin C in the form of C-Salts; I feel they are helping me keep from being worse. Hope you get better, Jim. ### FinRussak@... wrote: Dear friends Please help my son and myself with prayers and post requests onto all Lyme related sites as I am still too ill to do so myself. Many have been asking about me and I thank you all. I post as FINLR or FIN24 or FINLYme24 and almost always sign my name which is unique enough to not mistake. I have relapsed badly. I had to stop minocycline due to vertigo and vestibular damage on left ear and it has worsened ALL neuro and cardiac symptoms. I am now bedbound and dictating this to a helper. It is so bad that last week we resumed the mino knowing like chemotherapy it is a BIG risk...I had to choose between DYING from the LYme or losing ability to be upright and hear due to further ototxicity. In the end It may not help anyway. HOURS to days of room spinning/total losses of equilibrium, malabsorption/wt loss and cardiac symptoms have besieged me. and now endocrine and vascular probs too. I need health aides and after going thru 16 in 2 weeks it seems that alas no agency nearby can provide someone with any level of training or experience of chronic illness let alone the language ability to call 911. If anyone knows of an agency in central NJ email my duaghter at samantha.russak@... and say it re: finette--we have tried Comfort keepers, anita's angels and a few others...theyre best at senior citizen 'babysitting' and few have real cert CHHA's---with my condition and need for walk/transport help thats important. I have seen the ED at least a dozen times in past 3 months. Scrambling among specialists who say " well, youre worse but not bad enough to fit you in by the year's end " and now enjoy phlebitis in every vein they tapped/IV-ed Needless to say Im looking for a new lyme friendly neuro, primaty care and EDS/CT Dr. Evan has also worsened after trying EVERYTHING including Buhner. He often cannot lift his head from his bed for days. he is back on several abx and neurontin due to severe nerve pains And yes my Mother and sister have renewed their efforts to convince me that if only Id really WANT to be well I could wish it, and that my refusing to do so teaches my son to accept illness as well! and so I am now without " family " ? SIGH the only blessing is that my estranged husband has become newly committed and takes me to appts, sits with me in ED's and during MRI's and helps as best he can! Its VERY stressful on all of us especially with him working long hours, 2 hrs away in NYC, and with tax season approaching fast ( he is an acct). and he lives 3 miles away..with his own life. I cannot answer emails, my daughter tried to delete the over 1000 clogging my box but she is still at ASU grad school and I cannot ask her again. For those I have grown to care so much about over the years, I am listed -phone-in whitepages.com ( Finette Russak NJ). If you get the machine my head is in the bucket---again. Im sorry if I cannot answer. I BEG those who dont care, to NOT use the phone to harass me. I am generally available 12 noon t0 12 midnite EST- other times and in between Im sleeping on main level on recliner as I have to live and sleep at no less than a 70 degree angle to lessen the spins. I havent slept more than 3-4 hrs at a time in 3 months! I fear I may not be strong enough to make it past the winter as this is my THIRD very bad relapse and I have a LOT more things going wrong now!!!! So far I have heard 10 specialiats quit saying Im too complex and too beyond help and too many things in too many areas going bad!! But stubborn me is emailing every major hospital for dept heads and begging for consults...and plus Im way too AFRAID of dying...to give up yet. I pray that ALL of you are as well as can be hoped and that we ALL have FULL recovery soon!!! And please forgive my absence...I think about many of you often, miss you and pray for you.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Sounds scary! Also sounds like what hearts can do when they're bombarded with too much thyroid hormone. Did you have your levels checked in the hospital? If not, I'd get a free T4 test asap. nissa On Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:58:06 -0000, " gypsey " <oceangypsey@...> wrote: > ok..i have been a member of the hypo list for a long time....here is > my problem....just recently i have been having period of rapid heart > beat....and sensation in my heart...sort of a pinching...and sometimes > a flop....actally went to the er last nite..but by the tiem i got > there it had stopped for the most part..and all they found on the > moniter was slightly high sinus rhythm..111...but for an hour before i > got there, it was pounding out of my chest and really fast....can i be > going hyper ..after 3yrs. of hypo and on meds for hypo?i am really > kind of scared,that it could be thyroid brought on heart disease, from > not being diagnsed for a lot of years before...thankyou, for any of > your responses....jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 HI Jeanne I take generic synthroid. Also I take Cytomel. I felt better before I took the RAI. My internist had decided to start me on Tapezole and I was feeling much better. I was very anxious and eager to take the RAI which I didn't recognize as one of the symptoms of hyperthryoid. I was afraid - frightened it would be thyroid cancer...afraid to research it for fear of what I would find out, and afraid to let it go....so I really rushed into taking RAI much to my later regret. Glad you are getting your test results. Post them here and see what the crew think...
