Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 Dear Kim You've probably already shared this - but what bowel cleanse do you use? Is it the same one you use for your son? Also, what age/weight does a child have to be to use the cleanse? Many thanks Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 Dear Robin G I loved what you wrote - especially: I know that this sounds unbelievable but it is true. These people should be sweeping floors for a living, some should be jailed. So very true!! Doctors are so puffed up with pride. I love to share what I've learned if it will help somebody. You're right about the liver poisoning chemical, too. Oh my. And...... they're getting worse. Viva la naturelle!! Bring it on......

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 Patty, thanks for your reply and the reminder about Dr. Gerson. I will certainly revisit his information before I embark on this new protocol. Problem is, there are many protocols out there. Each one involves much time and expense. I would like to find the best one I can before I invest my resources of time and energy. Have you had person experience using his methods or other methods to cleanse the bowel? Thanks, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 Awesome! By the way, I did take a sample of my son's to the doctor. Some doctors will help you...but the trick is not to tell them what you are doing right away. Just tell them that you have found what you believe to be worms in your stool and you would like it checked into. When the doc decides to treat you tell him you would rather treat it herbally. My doctor was really good about it. But he doesn't see homeopthy as a threat and knows that if I feel that what I am doing isn't working I'll be back for a prescription...

I am tempted but I'm afraid they will think that there is something wrong with me...because I'm eliminating so many without their meds. >> If you bring in samples of one of the two hundred or so parasites classified in medical labs and the lab identifies it, your doctor will not think badly of you. If you bring in any one of the couple of thousand more that have not been classified, then your lab and your doctor will probably treat you like you are crazy and/or mentally retarded. Because that is the way these people are educated. They are taught that what they learn in school is the gospel and ONLY truth. So if you have something and they can't identify it, well, it simply doesn't exist and there's something wrong with you (mentally, I mean). My worms (flukes) are oval shaped ranging in size from one-quarter inch to an inch and a half long, and in color from tan to dark brown, occasionally reddish or black. They are simple oval when small, when medium size they often develop a kind of tear drop shape which, the point of which, when they are larger, often develops into a tail. Some have one long tail, others develop several short tails. At my worst stage of infestation last year it was not unusual for both my boyfriend and me to see 50 to one hundred of these at a time in one b.m. I have brought speciens (not stool samples, SPECIMENS) to two different labs including supposedly the best parasite lab in New York AND to supposedly the best tropical medicine doctor in New York. All came back negative. All responded, " not a human parasite " . None were curious to know what it was. It wasn't in their list of things to look for so it simply didn't exist in their opinion. And they weren't motivated to send it off for further analysis, since (I suppose) that would mean contacting a research facility which would get the glory instead of them if a new species were discovered. So since there was nothing in it for them, they chose to ignore it. I know that this sounds unbelievable but it is true. These people should be sweeping floors for a living, some should be jailed. However, if you have a parasite which has been previously identified AND if you are tested under optimal conditions so that it shows up on their tests, they will be happy to prescribe a liver-poisoning chemical for you which will quite likely have only short-term effects and you will suffer a relapse within a few weeks. That would be the red-carpet treatment. Sorry if I sound bitter but I am. Robin G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The polyporous and the semen catechu I never heard of, they are two new ones on me, That, it seems to me, is a good thing, because the standard stuff has really not been working one hundred per cent for me. There are some other common antiparasitic herbs such as quassia which are not in the product, but no product has everything. Being on for one week then off for one week is also not standard. I did see this course of treatment the one time I took allopathic antihelminths, though. I think it would mean that the manufacturers expect the effects to be very strong and cause a virtually complete die-off in the first week, then they want to get any remaining eggs and stragglers during the second round after a week of rest. From my own expereince, since my bugs are so resilient, I am apprehensive about the one week lag. But it no doubt works for others. I will no doubt give it a shot one of these days. Right now I'm using the Sputnik herbal program from Ireland, it seems to be working for me. Robin G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Hi, I used a disposable drinking straw to see if there were any in my son's stool. There was. Some also look like white Shredded Wheat. I don't know what kind any of them are. Has anyone ever taken these samples to a doctor to see what kind of parasites they are dealing with? I am tempted but I'm afraid they will think that there is something wrong with me...because I'm eliminating so many without their meds. I must say, I haven't felt this good in years! I have never done a parasite cleanse and have been passing many (something's I'm not even sure are parasites). I have more energy, eat less and less often, pain in shoulders and neck are almost gone, I'm not constantly thirsty, my heart isn't constantly pounding, AND my sinuses, which have been a chronic problem, are almost cleared up! I'm even going to roast a stuffed chicken today just to smell it cooking! What bothers me the most is for three years I have been going to the doctor for the same problems. I have been put on medication and tested for everything. I'm continually told that there is nothing wrong, I have even been told it is stress and put on meds! Now to me the symptoms were obvious. I thought I'd share this because for the first few days I was so sick I almost stopped taking the parasite cleanse. I thought it was the herbs but it was the pests dying off. Then one morning I woke up and life was great! If anyone is thinking about embarking on this, stick it out you will feel fabulous! And it is well worth $20 a bottle. Now for the liver!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Helen, My son is using the same thing. He is 12 and takes 2/3 the dose. My daughter who is 6 takes 1/3 the dose. They are both getting results. They said that children under 5 shouldn't take it because of their development (being very fast before age 5). This doesn't make sense to me...why develop quickly with parasites??? Seems to me it would hinder something along the way. Maybe someone has a better explanation??? Anyway here is the site again. http://innercleanse.com/Parasitecleanseframes.html Be well, Kim Dear Kim You've probably already shared this - but what bowel cleanse do you use? Is it the same one you use for your son? Also, what age/weight does a child have to be to use the cleanse?

Yes, I have his book, which is a very intruiging read, and have juiced many, many carrots, apples, and other greens. I have never had cancer, so I cannot say I have had personal experience with a cure. However, there is no doubt in my mind that if I ever do get cancer, I will not be seeing an oncologist or any other kind of cancer specialist--I will be going to a Gerson Clinic. I have done the coffee enemas, as well as my husband, and we both feel that they are highly beneficial in removing toxins and making us feel better in the long run. Sometimes when I do a coffee enema after a period of not detoxing, I notice an increase of symptoms related to toxicity. Which only tells me that the coffee enema is doing some moving of stuff around and I need to keep doing it more. I hope this helps you some!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Aimee, I don't know if there is a waterbed mattress that fits a regular frame or not, but I can say that Kelsey (age 3) has a waterbed and it really does help morning stiffness. Although for the past few weeks she's been sleeping with me more than in her own room (my husband works nights). She fell out of her bed one night, didn't get hurt, but scared her, and ever since she won't even sit on her bed. I think the motion of it scares her now. She sometimes sleeps in her sister's room on her bottom bunk bed, which is a full size bed, and my other daughter sleeps on the top. Anyway, that's just an issue we're in the process of working on now! lol I can relate to how you feel about the lab work... when Kelsey had hers done in April it took 3 adults to hold her still, not to mention they had trouble getting a vein, and afterwards we got all the way in to car and the nurse came running out... they only got about 1/2 the blood they needed. I was soooo mad!!!! I had quite a few choice words, but I remained fairly calm and let them traumatize her all over again. It was awful!!! Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Thinking about how Kelsey suddenly seems afraid of her waterbed... we are seriously thinking about changing her bed back to a regular bed. Does anyone know if it would be safe to use an electric blanket? I just don't think I could feel comfortable using one for a 3 year old. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Hi Aimee, Sorry, I can't help with your water bed question. We've never had that type. I can relate to the needle stuff, though. After a long time of struggle (3 years) I think Josh finally just gave in to that. Since then, it hasn't been as hard anymore. He doesn't like it but he stopped fighting it, resigned himself to it. Maybe one day Karl will reach that point. It definitely doesn't help when after the ordeal's over, they realize they've forgotten some of the ordered tests! Josh went down to 10mgs of prednisone almost a week ago. He had been doing really, really great. It was definitely time. His last SED rate was the lowest he ever had ~ 22! The first couple of days the reduction didn't seem to have much after effect. Today, 4 days later, he woke up feeling really sore ... AGAIN! And though he doesn't have a fever, he does have the rash. On his chest. Such a bummer. I had in him in the car, ready to go to school. Dropped Kayla off at her school. Drove to Josh's. Talked some more and we figured we'd go to the health room. First time meeting the school nurse at his new school. Told her about his JRA and his recent decrease in steroids. Asked about their policy and how it might differ from his elementary school's. They have only one leather cot at this school, instead of 2. And it's much smaller than the other school's health room. She made Josh feel comfortable and said he could rest there or else go home and come back in later if he feels better. So, I opted to take him home, after putting in a homework request. I really wish we didn't have to go through this same familiar routine again this year. But there's no easy way out of it. I hope Josh (and Karl!) starts feeling better soon. This morning Josh said his entire body was sore. After school yesterday he wasn't overly active. And he got over 9 hours of sleep last night. He's napping on the couch right now. I'm hoping that he'll adjust to the lowered dose quickly and will be feeling well soon. Will probably take him to school when he wakes up. I know, like you said, that laying in bed isn't great ... but kids with systemic JRA seem to really need their rest when their bodies are having symptoms like this. Josh was going in slow motion this morning. Sad to see that again, after a few trouble free months Oh, well.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 electric blankets are good But my choice never was to use them kids have little accidents theres a blanket out now my sister has several they feel like velvet they are so warm it might be better to invest in one than a electric blanket but its just my choice not to use one but i am also in the south and it dont get all that cold everyday another reason is when my hubby said he would love to have a electric blanket i said no he is cold natured and i am hot natured but he wet the bed one night and when i felt it i told him NO WAY are we getting one NOW lolololol he soaked that bed good to and i worried the kids would wet the bed lolololol BUT he said he was dreaming about being out on the lake with his dad Robbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Aimee, You can buy a waterbed in most any size but they do require a particular frame to hold and support the matress. Look in the news classified adds, there are often such items for sale. (just be sure it does not leak if you buy a used one) [ & Skyler] Question Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a waterbed matress that fits on a regular single bed? Do you have to have a special frame? i am having a lot of trouble getting karl up in the morning. His doctor doesn't want to increase prednisone right now and he is waking up very stiff.I was thinking a waterbed mattress might keep him from getting stuck in one position.I hate making him go to school in the morning but I know that staying in bed all day will not make things better.On the complaint end of things, I took karl in for blood work last week. He absolutely hates it and has to be held down by two big guys.Guess what...they forgot to do his sed rate and we have to go back for more!!!! I want to punch somebody really hard for that. I won't though, I'll just make sure they get it all next time.EMLA doesn't help him much at all. He says it doesn't help with the feeling he gets when they pull back the plunger.Aimee (Karl's mom)For links to websites with JRA info visit: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Village/8414/Links.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Aimee, I have never heard of a waterbed matress that fits on a single bed. I know we bought a used one through the newspaper ads. You can usually find a used one pretty cheap, with a heater in it. I do recommend it, Sleeping on the heated water helps prevent from getting so stiff. We also have a jaquzzi, which loves. Whenever something is hurting her she goes and soaks in it. The water temp. is 100 degrees. When we bought it the doctor gave us a precription for it so we did not have to pay tax on it. And we bought a used one also so it didnt cost as much as new. Hope this helps a little and I hope Karl feels better soon. B > Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a waterbed matress that > fits on a regular single bed?

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Robbin, Thats why I'm not too much on using an electric blanket for Kelsey. I have one of those velvet like blankets, and it is very warm. I think I may get one of those to fit a single bed for her. We're gonna keep trying to get her back in the waterbed, but as of right now she won't even sit on it, much less sleep in it. We live in Salem VA (Roanoke Valley), right in the foothills of the blue ridge mountains, so it gets pretty cold here in the winter. That waterbed will be wonderful for her this winter, so I'm hoping we won't have to change her beds. Thanks for the advice, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 I bought Alana a full size waterbed which has made a huge difference for her. If you can fit it in the room its great. They can't really do waterbeds with a twin its too narrow.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Robbin, She fell out of bed in her sleep, which is why I think she's really scared of it at night. I pile big pillows on the floor by her bed just in case it were to happen to help break the fall, and my husband used to make fun of me for it, lol, but if those pillows wouldn't have been there she could've hurt herself. One day I caught Ashleigh, my 8 year old, and her friend in Kelsey's room on the bed trying to bounce each other off! lol For anyone thinking of getting a waterbed, I would NOT recommend getting the " super single " size... thats what Kelsey has (we didn't buy it, it belonged to my sister in law) and its just too narrow. I think thats why her bed is so darn bouncy! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
