Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Kathy I wish to god my pubic hair would thin! shoot then I would not always be after it with the razor blade. I hate pubic hair, I thin mine out, it just seems so much more clean to not have all that hair there. That seems like it would be unrelated, as long as your not losing hair on your head, I would just trim it down and be happy! hugs , " mikat828 " <mikat828@y...> wrote: > - > > > > thanks for your reply.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Annie the olive oil really doesn't bother me in small doses. I think you will see some benefits even if you do it once a day. When the tbsp is mixed with the lemon juice, it isn't as bad, and I don't mind it much at all if I add a little maple syrup. Milk thistle is an herb, not a dairy product. It has much research behind it and is an excellent liver protector and detoxifier. It has even been known to save lives when people accidentally ingested poisonous mushrooms. The olive oil/lemon drink is used by some doctors as part of their protocol to reduce herx pain. I first read about it on Gabe Mirkin, MD. site. Then I read about it on other sites--including ones for people with autoimmune illness. Also, the candidiasis website really touts the liver cleanse---which is also on curezone.com. Hulda uses the liver cleanse as part of her protocol. The liver cleanse also uses olive oil--in a larger amt.--and epsom salts. Many people have excellent results withthe liver cleanse. Patty has done the cleanse more than once. I have done it once and had very good results. It needs to be done more often than that however. Thanks for the comments on sugar and Christmas! Thing is now I am craving chocolate again!! I am just like an alcoholic--I am fine until I have some and then the craving starts all over again!

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 thanks paula. i've had really bad tendonitis in my left foot. i had tarsal tunnel surgeries a few years back. my dr was then busted for cocaine. i've had problems even before the surgeries, but i get a swelling on my ankle about the size of an egg and it gets quite painful. they did a 2nd ultrasound and again determined that the tarsal tunnel area looks normal, but i do have an extra bone in my foot. they say it is common and some people don't do anything about it. but if it is bothersome, they remove it, (pea size) saw a little off the bone in front of it an re attach the tendon there. it doesn't sound like a lot of fun. the 2 dr's told me it's no big deal and barring any problems....(i just looked and said, you don't know who you're messing with!!)he said we will do it out pt hospital and he'd run an iv antibiotic and give me pills. i would have the surgery on a wednesday, be back to work with many restrictions monday.(sure) wear the boot 2-3 weeks, then surgical shoe for a couple then back to tennis shoes. i just bought a pair of sandals for the first time in 8-10 years!! i have been in tennis shoes for 7 yrs now!! i just started walking more and really trying to get my social life back. now they want me to sit again. i may just decide to live with this pain. the thought of them opening my foot again in the same area is not really what i want to do.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I am so confused. I was positive on several bands, but band 31 was the highest. I think I have chronic lyme, I've been sick since 1986. I dought if I will beable to find a good lyme doctor here. I don't even know where to begin with this. I should find a good lyme doctor and be sure that I even have lyme. The tests from IGeneX western IgG and IgM both say positive on them, and I had a infectious disease doctor look at it and he said it was very positive. I have all the symptoms of lyme and get very sick when I stop taking antibiotics. I always thought it was the antibiotics that were making me sick, but it's actually when I stop taking them that I get really sick. I have never been treated for lyme, but for staph infections and sinus infections. I need as much information as I can find on chronic lyme!!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Kathy, As soon as you go off the ABX then you will become m ore aware of the symptoms because during the ABX treatment you are supressingand killing some of the lyme bacteria. You also probably have candida since you have been on so much ABX and that will be more obvious also. I also had the ABX cycle for years, every 4 weeks I would have another infection and feel good, then after 1 weeks start getting sick again. I did not know I had lyme at the time. I have recovered with using a major nutritional program that targets the immune system getting stronger so that it fights its own battles. I will stay on it forever, if these things are just dormant, I want to keep them that way.If you want to go alternative then you can write me about things you can do. Kathy wrote: > I am so confused.
