Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Welcome Bill. I'm still new and trying to figure this out myself, so I can't offer you anything other than a warm welcome. --- surfgent <billk@...> wrote: > Shortly thereafter I learned of the > D'Adamo " Eat > Right for Your Type " Blood Type Diet (Type O) which > I have been > compliant with for 1.5 yrs. After a major but mysterious illness about 6 years ago (the doctors concluded that it was some weird virus picked up traveling), my MD talked me into this diet.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Hi Bill, Welcome to our friendly helpful group. A Happy New Year to you too!

Bill, I'm glad you found us and I trully believe we do have the answers, especially in diet and helping the body heal itself.

Good for you Bill! That's very well done! >Shortly thereafter I learned of the D'Adamo " Eat > Right for Your Type " Blood Type Diet (Type O) which I have been > compliant with for 1.5 yrs.

Some Avoids are Pork, Dairy, Wheat & Corn. I am very familiar with this diet. While it has helped many people I do not recommend it because it gives people a false impression that it will solve all of their diet issues, which may not be the case. However it is a good idea to follow diets that originate prior to the present day degenerative diseases, i.e. cancer, heart disease, diabetes, candida, etc. - which is also prior to processed foods. > Following the diet has definitely helped some of my conditions, >BUT, I found that my IBS and digestive related problems to worsen. >I attributed this to a possibly weaken/conjested liver and >difficulty digesting my high protein - low carb diet.

What leads you to believe your liver is still weakened/congested and that you have difficulty digesting your high protein/low carb diet?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Howdy, Glad you found us. I'm sure we will be able to help you. I have MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity)testing postive to over 30 chemicals used in cosmetics. I was very wary of spraying my house (and using all the things I am putting on my skin) but realised that I was going to have to. I'm lucky I had a great PCO who has kept at if for me and really used some spray combos that have GREATLY reduced the numbers in my house. I can send what he did to you if you email me at . And the sprays didn't seem to bother me too much, at least on the surface. If you go the spray route you also have to hit your body hard too. I believe that it is my body that eventually reinfects my environment after being sprayed. Just start reading a lot of the posts here and you will find some very successful stratagies to help you. I have a series of baths in various things that have really helped me alot. My body was totally infested so it has not been pleasant at times when a big purge is going on. Or is it a quick process getting them out, it takes a while if you have been infested for a while. Many of us here us the new hope line of products at espbotanicals.com. They seem to be very helpful in purging these out of us. I'm sure some of the more knowledgable folks here will chirp in and make some very helpful suggestions. bob > > In mid August I was doing yard work and became very itchy.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi Laurel, I think that most of the people participating in this group have become hosts for these organisms (we may not all have the same bugs) and that's why we feel so much crawling on our skin, and in our ears and noses. The bugs are somehow breeding inside of our bodies, possibly in the deep layers of our skin, and then exiting through our pores. Yes, I believe we reinfest our environments with our infested bodies. In fact, I believe I was the source of my severe home infestation, because I was providing food and lodging for the mites, and possibly collembola as well. I live on Maui, and a woman who lives nearby has this website that is informative to read: http://www.stopskinmites.com/index.html She recommends some products that she is a distributor for, but you don't need to buy any of those things -- she has kindly provided her knowledge for free. Regarding gluten, I believe eating gluten was making my problem worse, at least when my problem was severe. I have many allergies, and an asian digestive system that doesn't tolerate gluten and dairy very well. Eliminating gluten while my problem was severe helped. I'm able to eat it again now, although I don't eat much because I'm more of a rice eater. If you have time, it is helpful to go back to the past posts, so you can get an idea of what others have done, in a chronological context. I wish you well. myrtle > > In mid August I was doing yard work and became very itchy. I noticed > red marks on my rt. arm. There were single dots and some in lines.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 like I said the nutra eval should give you the answer we seek. It will give you a metabolic profile that show your immune system, neurochemsitry of the brain, heavy metals, nutients and the proper ratio, amino acid, metabolites of protein, carbs, fat, issues with liver detoxifcation, also hidden gut factors as well. Since you have good insurance it will be well worth the 169.00 because its a $1300 other wise. Cash up front its $700. Once this data comes, I will go work on looking at the imbalnaces coming up with some more pieces to the puzzle. This test has really open doors to patients who other drs where stumped on. Genova does a great explaination of things in the report, but leave out alot of vital information which is essential for proper recovery of the patient. > > Hey Guys, > > I'm currently working with HAN and he told me about how great this site is.

I went to my PCP about 4 yrs ago talking about most symptoms of low T aside from sexual symptoms. He told me I was clearly depressed and prescribed my zoloft. I trusted him and after about 3 yrs I woke up one day and said WTF, why am I taking this? Don't need it and it hasn't done a damn thing. Around that same time, my sexual sides started up and have been off and on for about a year or so now. > > I'm not trying to compain too much, but my issues are VERY up and down. Some days I feel HORRIBLE and two days later I feel AMAZING. > > Currently, my symptoms are as follows: > > - ED (can perform most days but rarely " full strength " and is lost during orgasm - have orgasmed without erection) > - Penis super shrinkage at times. Does not hang fully flaccid most times. Also, shrink and bends different directions with more prominent veins. But other days, fully. > - Long refractory period (like a couple of days) except for the odd day where I can go 3x (on cialis) > - Morning erections (there most mornings but half of what it should be at best) > - Libido (50/50 from day to day. Unless I'm in the middle of it, I could take it or leave it) > - Terrible short term memory (can't remember things form like 5 seconds before) > - Can't concentrate (my boss has said something) > - Pelvic spasms and urinary issues > - Depression/Paranoia > - Intolerability (for everyone at times and I hate being touched -other times is the opposite) > - Penis and testicle pain > - Premature ejaculation (gotten worse) > - Dry Skin (Dandruff no matter what I use) > - Fat deposit in lower abdomen and upper legs (despite being lean everywhere else and eating super clean) > - Night Sweats (not every night, but some nights there's a puddle) > - Joint and muscle aches (hip, lower back, calves - popping and cracking in joints) > - Lack of muscle fullness/hardness (comes and goes day to day) > - Cold hands and feet at times (sometimes I'm colder than others, other times I'm way too hot – hands always numb before everyone else in the winter outside) > - Parts of my body hot to touch other parts freezing at the same time (penis and testicles sometimes very cold to touch) > > Low dose cialis is all it takes for me to be 100% normal sexually. Without it, it's usually weaker or inconsistent (morning erections and sexually). > > HAN and Dr. O have been awesome so far and I'm so grateful I am in their backyard. I do have some numbers that made me jump to conclusions (low e2, low dht, TT in the low 400's) but HAN has been awesome at grounding me and helping to look at the bigger picture. Just the minor adjustments we have made so far have made me feel better - so I know we'll figure this thing out sooner or later. > > Good luck to everyone! > > - > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
