HELLO ALL
Hey Group
just wanted to drop a post since i havent for a few days because i have
been babysitting a freinds kid. anyways this year has been one of many
challenges. like in march i had a very severe pneumonia and also keto
acidosis at the same time and i ended up in the hospital for almost 2
weeks. and then last month i had a kidney stone which passed
successfully. and then thursday i went to the doctor because i have
been complaining about pain in my right arm for the last year and 3
months and i could get nothing done about it. well this time my doctor
had xrays taken of my neck on thursday when i went. and on friday the
doctor called me at my house and said that the xrays show i have a
compressed fracture of my spine. and that i have to undergo an mri to
see what the damage is or how bad the injury is. and i will update that
info when i get the mri results after i have it. anyways i would like
you all to keep me in your prayers and i hope everyone is doing well
and all the mothers had a great mothers day take care and god bless

Hi Kirk,
Arthritis. Oh, no. Diabetes too. And what other degenerative disease is
closely connected to misfortune? Parkinson’s disease, poor vision…. ? I
think you are not lucky. Arthritis got you. Eat your plant. Take a teaspoon
of olive oil. Unless one is born with a severe defect, or is already terminal,
with proper management, I hope all your sysmtoms will go away. Pray. Chee

Hey Rachel
yes i did get the results of the mri. and they showed i have
arthritis. but last friday i had a docs appointment and i missed
because i wasnt feeling well and overslept and yesterday i called the
doc to make another appointment and the billing company has frozen my
account with the doctor so i cant make another appointment because
they say i owe $320 and when i pay that i can make another
appointment. like who do they think they are to refuse seeing you
because you owe them money since when did the docs become so greedy
if they dont get paid they dont see you like what has this world come
too. well hope you have been doing well take care and have a great
weekend kirk

Hey Rachel
right now i just take ibuprofen.they did not tel;l me what kind of
arthritis it is. and i am not sure what could of caused it it could
of been when i was hit by a car when i was 12 years old. i am not
really sure. it has been really hot here like in the high 90s but we
did get some rain this weekend. when you have high blood sugars do
you ever notice them because i have them and do not notice them at
all. but when they go low i really notice because i get really
sluggish and pale looking and i sweat profusely like i did monday

I agree with you Rachel in a general sense but I’d like to point
out that once one is detoxified and has the correct nutrition
including supplements, the herbs are not needed for their desired
effect anyway.
I disagree with the notion that herbs are subtle.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:48 pm
Oh Rachel,
What herbologist did you consult?
Herbs can be very un-subtle and a good herbologist knows his/her
phytochemistry well enough to give you a gentle herbal detox for
example, though my preference is of course for a homeopathic level
detox. It is gentler but more powerful.
A good herbologist (and it takes many years of study to become one) is
not fighting it - the herbs are used to *help* your excretory organs and
eumunctories to eliminate the toxins. But to do it properly the herbs
should be selected for you specifically. For example my own detox uses 6
different herbs at two different potencies each, selected in herb type
and potency for my specific situation. It took a few weeks on the regime
(about 6) to get rid of about 20 lbs of edema for example.
> Now, many people need something
> stronger like a drug to combat all the toxins within us.
No just a more competent homeopath or herbologist.
There are way too many pretend ones who have no degree or proper formal
qualification in their profession!!!
No. The more out of balance we are, the more well matched the herbs or
homeopathy has to be to our specific situation - and it takes a
professional level of competence to do the matching - guesswork and
anecdote magazine stories will not cut it.
"Stronger things" are more than likely adding a new layer of suppression
and not doing any detox.
A correctly selected gentle detox is permanent too - you don’t have to
keep re-doing it (each time the suppression fails!)
Namaste,
IRene

I second Rachel’s post; I’ve also seen a lot of people go for the
fad supplements, some of which might normally do something if one
wasn’t malnourished and carrying a large toxin load.
Most of my work is in detoxification, antioxidants and
nutritional balance. Most who begin with that find they start
getting better and may need no drugs or designer herbs to cover
their symptoms.

How about plenty of water, a super green food supplement, cinnamin, garlic,
onions, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Add in beans and legumes, and some nut
butter. Would that be a good start. Greg

As long as you don’t forget the basics, Greg; cold-processed
whey, potassium salts on the table instead of table salt,
calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, wild fish oil, and liver flushes.
The nut butter is highly inflammatory unless you only use a tiny
amount. Take precautions generally against eating too much
inflammatory omega-6 oils as well as increasing EPA and DHA omega-
3 oils (NOT by using flax oil).

Since when?
IT depends how you make your nut butters. If you use fresh raw nuts they
are highly ANTI-inflammatory:-))

I agree but walnuts and almonds do not have "too much" omega-6 and we DO
need omega-6 as well as the omega-3′as which I like to get from fish oil.

There we are in full agreement.
The only vegetable oil to use is Extra virgin olive oil - mainly for the
omega-9 (oleic acid) and powerful antioxidant content. This is very
anti-inflammatory unlike most veg oils. (It’s why all those
Meditterannean types are so healthy compared with Americans!)
Namaste,

it has been awhile since i have posted on here. so i will give you an
update on me. all last weekend i did not feel well at all. and actually
i still dont feel well. on thursday night i went to bed and started
having some shortness of breath and it went away after awhile. but when
i awoke friday i was fatigued and weak and that lasted all weekend long
and i also felt nauseous and close to losing my lunch. and yesterday my
sugar was good i had a 146 and a 215 which is good for me. but i went
to the med van to get some medication and discussed the weekend with
the doctor and an ekg showed that i have another block on the left side
of my heart. but the doc said i didnt need to go to the er. i really am
not having that much chest pain and the pain doesnt radiate anywhere
but being diabetic when we have symptoms of a heart attack diabetes
will mask some of those symptoms. so just keep me in your prayers and i
will update whats going on as soon as possible take care and god
