Guest guest Posted January 15, 1999 Report Share Posted January 15, 1999 I agree with Marta 100%. Keep the list loose, friendly and welcoming. And above all else, I firmly belive in humor. Without having humor in my life, I would be a depressed, raving, lunatic. :-) I thank my husband every day for being the clown he is because he has kept me going. Humor DOES help! Maybe if someone posts a joke or a funny, they could just put in the title that it is " humor " and then if someone isn't in a funny mood that day, they can just delete without reading. Marta, my two votes are with you. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 1999 Report Share Posted January 16, 1999 I like the idea of putting 'humor' in the title line, it is still there for us if we want it, but easy to sift out if we get annoyed or pushed for time. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 I have a friend who's mom has lyme and now non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. All of her lymph nodes where swollen, and her one kidney has stopped working and the other is at 85%...........she has undergone chemo...........and is doing better.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 - I have now heard of non-Hodgkins lymphoma and lyme a few hundred times now..... funny, it is becoming more frequent too. Here are some abstracts about it. sue in nj sue massie " Lyme borreliosis mimicking central nervous system malignancy: the diagnostic pitfall of cerebrospinal fluid cytology. Kielich M, Fiedler A, Driever PH, Weis R, Schwabe D, i G. Department of Pediatric Neurology, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, furt/Main, Germany. mkieslich@... We report two children with acute loss of neurological functions and signs of an increased intracranial pressure. Imaging techniques ruled out space occupying lesions, whereas CSF cytology indicated CNS involvement of a non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the form of abnormal lymphocytic pleocytosis with malignancy criteria fulfilling lymphoid cells. CSF protein electrophoresis and Borrelia burgdorferi serology revealed neuroborreliosis which was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy. The malignancy mimicking cytology is based on a blastoid transformation of B- and T-lymphocytes due to the antigenic stimulus of B. burgdorferi infection. Lymphoid cells in the CSF of a patient with acute or chronic neurological symptoms raise the differential diagnosis of inflammatory etiology versus CNS lymphoma. Monomorphism and higher quantity of the lymphoid cells point to CNS lymphoma. A lower quantity and polyclonal pattern of lymphoid cells associated with an elevated protein fraction caused by intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis suggest an inflammatory etiology.

Szyfelbein WM, Ross JS. Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts. Lyme disease is a multisystem disorder resulting from infection by the tick-borne spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. Fever, chills, malaise and headaches; a characteristic rash; and subsequent polyarthritis typically herald the onset of this condition. Neurologic involvement may occur with skin and joint manifestations or present alone as meningitis, cranial neuritis, and radiculopathy known as Bannwarth's syndrome. We report the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytomorphologic and immunocytochemical features of four patients who presented with isolated meningitis, cranial neuritis, and painful neuropathy without initial history of specific skin rash or previous tick bite. Initial CSF findings of significant numbers of markedly atypical plasmacytoid mononuclear cells suggested CSF non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma. Immunocytochemical studies on CSF specimens, however, revealed polyclonal surface immunoglobulin patterns consistent with an inflammatory reaction. Follow-up clinical history and/or peripheral blood serologic testing for antibody titers with B. burgdorferi antigen confirmed the diagnosis of Lyme disease in all four cases. We conclude that Lyme disease may present as atypical spinal fluid lymphoplasmacytic cellular infiltrates that simulate malignant lymphoma and that appropriate immunocytochemical studies and peripheral blood serologic testing be performed to establish this diagnosis and direct appropriate therapy.

Department of Dermatology, Boston University School of Medicine, Massachusetts, USA. Cutaneous lymphomas comprise a spectrum of diseases characterized by infiltration of the skin by malignant lymphocytes. The clinical manifestations of cutaneous lymphomas vary, and they can mimic benign dermatoses, as well as nodal or visceral malignancies with cutaneous spread. Cutaneous lymphomas are divided into T-cell lymphomas and B-cell lymphomas. Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas include mycosis fungoides, Sezary syndrome, lymphomatoid papulosis, CD30+ large cell lymphoma, and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. The extent and severity of skin manifestations in cutaneous T-cell lymphomas are prognostic indicators of extracutaneous involvement. Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas comprise 10% to 25% of all primary cutaneous non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and are classified according to their cell of origin. Most cutaneous B-cell lymphomas have an indolent course and excellent prognosis when compared to their nodal counterparts. Many fact ors have been implicated in the etiology of cutaneous lymphomas, including chemical and drug exposures, as well as microbial agents, such as the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human T-lymphocyte virus-1 (HTLV-1), and Borrelia burgdorferi. Immunohistochemistry and lymphocyte-receptor gene rearrangement studies are useful in distinguishing malignant from benign conditions. *********************************** 1: Infection 1992 Jul-Aug;20(4):201-6 Related Articles, Books, LinkOut Solitary borrelial lymphocytoma: report of 36 cases. Strle F, Pleterski-Rigler D, Stanek G, Pejovnik-Pustinek A, Ruzic E, Cimperman J. Department of Infectious Diseases, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Slovenia. Thirty-six cases of borrelial lymphocytoma were detected during the period 1986 to 1990 in Slovenia. Borrelial lymphocytoma was located on the ear lobe in 17 persons, ten female and seven male, with a median age of 12 years (range 2-56). Fourteen of these 17 were children under 14 years of age. A tick bite was remembered by 15 patients a median of 30 days before borrelial lymphocytoma developed. The most frequent month of onset was September. Erythema migrans preceded or accompanied borrelial lymphocytoma in eight cases. In 15 cases, eight female and seven male, borrelial lymphocytoma was localized on the mamilla. Median age of these patients was 42 years (range 15-72). Twelve had a tick bite about 45 days (median value) before the onset of borrelial lymphocytoma, which occurred most frequently in August. Erythema migrans was reported in 13 patients and preceded borrelial lymphocytoma in ten cases. In another four patients borrelial lymphocytoma was localized on the nose, scrotum, upper arm and shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 i have an old aquaintance who had lyme and i heard thru the grapevine was diagnosed with lymphoma. i have to contact him. i still hope and am operating under the belief that the " fear of lyme " syndrome can be as destructive and inhibiting as the actual disease and that lyme can be controlled naturally or -at minimum- needs to have full lifestyle support to stay in remission. -- sincerely william meyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you will get the most out of your liver cleanse. Also you should consider doing a kidney cleanse first, which will help remove toxins from your system and make the liver cleanse easier. you can do a kidney cleanse any time.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 > > > Hi all! > I'm wondering if it's okay to eat grape and cherry tomatoes. I love them, but they are a little sweet. ==>Yes, you can eat them in moderation. > > Also, is it okay to use Coconut Oil that is cold pressed instead of expeller pressed? ==>Yes. > > Okay, three questions...I'm experiencing diarrhea which I've never had before. Is this a normal reaction? At what point should I be concerned about it? ==>Diarrhea is the body's way of getting rid of toxins, which are mostly candida toxins at this point. Ensure you eat well and consume enough fluids to replace what you are losing. It will help if you eat 1-2 tablespoons of sauerkraut or kimchi with every meal. You should take measures if you have diarrhea more than 5 days by taking probiotics - Dr. Mercola recommends 5 billion units every 30 minutes. > >Thanks for everything!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 > > Hello Bee, Please answer two questions: > > 1. Is it possible to ingest too much cholesterol? I know you advocate eating eggs, butter, bacon, etc., but is there an upper limit to my daily egg/butter consumption? I am a pescatarian (I cannot buy organic meat where I live), and I have begun to eat a lot of eggs since I started following your method.) ==>No it is not possible to ingest too much good fats from Mother Nature's foods, nor by consuming the high saturated fats recommended on my program. You wouldn't be able to eat more fats because you wouldn't be hungry after you reached your fat threshold. To understand more read the articles listed in this section " Know Your Fats " : http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/index.html Also read the article about Stefansson and his friend doing a year long experiment in a hospital under doctor's supervision eating 75% fat and meat only: http://www.biblelife.org/stefansson1.htm At the end of the experiment they were healthier than when they started, without taking supplements of any kind. > 2. I drink 1-2 quarts of garlic/lemon juice tea a day. Will I damage the enamel of my teeth by sipping on this throughout the day, bathing my teeth with lemon juice? ==>Lemon juice can be hard on the teeth but since it is in water I do not think it would cause a problem. This program has been known to re-build and smooth out enamel on the teeth. You should also be putting a good ocean sea salt in the water like my Electrolyte Drink which is 1/4 tsp. ocean sea salt and the juice of 1/2 lemon in 6 ounces of good water.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I've read that trt can cause your falice to shrink. Is there any truth to that? Also those of you who self inject have you ever had problems traveling (internationally) with yur t and syringes? Has customs ever thought they were illegal drugs?

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Right you are. I was low on T for probably 20 years or more and that shrunk mine by over a inch. Now there are lots of places that I would like to loose a inch or two but that wasn't one of them. I have noticed a few weeks after starting hCG that a lot of my body flab is tightening up. Like legs, arms, everywhere. I can't be totally sure it was the hCG that did it and not just getting better control on estradiol that I had started before the hCG but if it was that I didn't notice it until a few weeks after starting hCG. Also my nuts are increasing in size. Having been low T for so long with out knowing it they had already shrunk even before I started TRT I don't think they got any worse after I started. That's my story and I am sticking to it. Brett Re: Two questions > Relax buddy, I doubt there is any legit documentation that TRT will shrink > your member! Quite the opposite really, you will get bigger better > erections..!!Now if your estrogen levels get 2 high it can temporarily > make your gear shrivel up, but as soon as it is in check u r right as rain > again. and as long as you have a script 4 what u r carrying u shouldn't > have any problem traveling with your medication. > > >> >> I've read that trt can cause your falice to shrink.
