TED'S REMEDIES FOR 4 YEAR OLD WITH MS AND A.D.E.M.

03/13/2010: Alison from Bothell, Washington writes: "Ted,

I have read many of your posts and others over the last few years and put much of the information into action with fantastic results. This forum has been life changing and empowering for me. I am hoping that you can share your knowledge and opinion on A.D.E.M. MS, myelin and herbal supplements and alternative therapies.

I was reading your posts on MS and trying to see how it can apply to my son and A.D.E.M. Can the addition of curcumin, selenium and other supplements at this point, fatten up his myelin? Are there other supplements, herbs, dietary changes that could be helpful. Dosage? He is 4 and weighs 30lbs.

My son was 12 months when he had an fulminant episode of A.D.E.M. Acute disseminated Encephalomyelitis. An auto-immune attack to the myelin sheath much like MS but not progressive. It happened 9 weeks after a DTaP and flu vaccine. It is not clear if this was a factor. Never the less I have stopped vaccinating. As as a result of the A.D.E.M. he had severe neuro-motor regression. It is my understanding that he had to re-myelinate and re-cable the brain connections. He is now four-years-old. He has mild-moderate delays in gross and fine motor skills. He has cognitive delays and severe delays in his expressive language. Apraxia. He has mild hemiparisis on his left side. He is non-verbal. 50 percent of patients recovery completely. Many recover in 3-12 months. It has been three years now.

We recently did a constraint induced therapy where a cast was put on his right arm(strong side) to force him to develop his left side. We notice amazing improvements not only in the use of his left hand but also in cognative, speech and sensory awareness. He had global improvements in all areas of development.

He is on a seizure medication, levetiracetam . Although has not had a seizure since he was in the ICU during the attack, he remains on the anti-convulsive as precaucionary as he is also on methylphenadate, a central nervous system stimulant. We have notice tremendous development since he started taking it. Our neurologist in Mexico says that the methylphenadate brings down the threshold for seizure and that if he began to have seizures it would be a major set back for him. We may switch piracetam in the future when he is off the levetiracetam. Piracetam is not available in the US but not illegal either. His EEG's have shown tremendous improvements since he started the methylphenadate. Almost typical.

What is your opinion on HBOT, hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? Initially I found my 12 month old unconscious, not breathing, beginning to turn blue and had to revive him with CPR. Maybe his brain was deprived of oxygen for a period of time? Some of the off label use for it is for cerebral palsy, MS, Stroke and near drowning.

We have cut out MSG, aspartame, diary and processed foods in our diet for more than a year now. I muscle test most store bought foods before adding them to the family diet. We have also been seeing a Neurolink practictioner that runs a chelating protocol on my son.

Any ideas you could share would be greatly appreciated."

COULD MAPLE SYRUP AND BAKING SODA MAKE CANDIDA WORSE?

03/13/2010: Ted writes: "Re: Maple Syrup and Baking soda.

Candida feeds on sugar, regardless of with or without baking soda. The baking soda gets neutralized far to quickly to do any dent to the candida for the cancer, but the sugar has loads of calories that the fungus or cancer can feed onto. It makes the problem worse. The best form of alkalizing is to take both the baking soda and the potassium bicarbonate, or a stronger form sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. Fungus doesn't get killed easily and the ones that Alternative medicine community are familiar with is Dr. Simoncini's work, which uses Baking soda.

Unfortunately baking soda's buffering ability is very limited and cannot reach certain areas such as extremities and internal organs, bones, etc. It's alkaline effects do not last long either, such as 1-3 hours on the average for a person who is acidic.

There is a simpler way to treat candida, which is basically avoiding all sugar, fruit juices, calcium supplements (fungus feeds on them!), and oily foods (blocks body's immune system).

There are a couple of things I used to get rid of the fungus, when those foods are avoided, first is alkalizing, taking baking soda 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon after every meal, and once before bed time in 1/2 to 1 glass of water, which is relatively low dose and a mild remedy, the other is all drinking water a person will drink shall have hydrogen peroxide 3% 1/2 to 1 capfuls per liter of drinking water, added together with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt in each of the drinking water. The hydrogen peroxide kills the fungus by oxidation.

The other thing I used is to add borax, to the same drinking water, which is 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per liter of drinking water. Borax flushes out candida and fungus in general.

Finally, if desperation is there, then avoid dinner, this will get digestive juices recirculated into the body systems and digest the fungus that way. Candida feeds on sugar, and hence it's important the blood sugar is always below 100, above that they will take advantage of the extra food. Finally when eating food, our foods, ESPECIALLY our drinks, are sugar laden and so it's important to avoid sweet fruits and sweet fruit juices, and drink plenty of water during meals, in which case it will reduce the sugar concentration that goes to the blood. And if a person does have sugar problems, then it's important to reduce the blood sugar to below 100. Three things I always used for sure (besides alkalization), is 1) chromium supplements 5 mg in form of chromium chloride 2) lecithin granulated 1 teaspoon with every meal 3) vitamin B3 niacinamide before sleep, usually 250-500 mg.

In any case, maple syrup is useless in treatment of cancer and candida, it feeds on sugar and the alkalinity of the baking soda is too weak to kill it. I have seen too many people getting worse off after taking this, especially diabetics."

FAMILY WITH HISTORY OF CANCER

03/13/2010: Ted writes: "For preventive, and even if a person does have breast cancer I am having successes in at least stopping or reversing the breast cancer. Basically it's taking vitamin C sodium ascorbate 1000 mg x 4, 1 capful of hydrogen peroxide 3% per liter of drinking water with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Lysine 1000 mg and aspirin 500 mg is taken hourly for six times only for 1-2 days. Most people with breast cancer have a terrible wisdom tooth where the lymphatic drainage goes to the breast. The metal wire in bras should be removed. It blocks circulation and is an antenna for picking up electromagnetic radiation unfavorable for the breast as this may be cancer causing from such exposure.

Mammography for tests can cause cancer from the high x ray radiation through that method. The more you check the more you will likely to get it. Hydrogen peroxide clears the lymphatic systems, thats why some people have a bad smelling pee on taking hydrogen peroxide a couple of days when starting this and the lymphatic swells dries up after a couple of days on the hydrogen peroxide. A maintenance dose of lysine is possible with 4000 mg per day as the bare minum dose in prevention, plus 4000 mg of sodium ascorbate in divided dose over the course of the day x4 for example at 1000 mg. It's best to take in hourly sequence. Works the best. Such as 1000 mg lysine plus 1000 mg vitamin C hourly for four hours. This is your basic breast cancer protocol for prevention and reversal.

It's important to avoid yogurt, calcium, tapioca, high calcium foods, take plenty of magnesium (as in magnesium chloride or trimagnesium citrate) which seems very helpful. A diseased lymphatic system is helped with a good 1.5% hydrogen peroxide used as a mouthwash for people with a bad wisdom teeth or cavities which drains to the lymphatic systems to the armpits and the breast. Sugar and oils from vegetable oils has to be completely avoided.

In Thailand where most people can't afford health insurance anyway but the worse thing that can happen is the conventional medical system simply doesn't work except such removal. It will never work in removing cancer if the cause is viral. Only works mostly if it's fungus. I believe it's fungus that's why it's not fatal, but can leave bone growth and fungal infections and some arthritis. However, a fungus caused cancer (from aflatotoxins) can be eliminated by borax supplementation at 1/8 teaspoon perhaps once a week as prevention and daily alkalization of baking soda after meals three times a day as the bare minimum in such prevention. The biggest enemy against the fungus is the alkaline, but in particular is the potassium, such as potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate. Baking soda also helps but nearly not as effective as potassium bicarbonate, in general both are taken, in various forms such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate are taken together. A stronger form longer lasting are the citrate forms. Avoid nitrite rich foods found in overcooked foods, grilled and fried. Cured meats heated are the worse and causes cancer.

Your genes pretty much won't mutate into cancer if homocysteine found in blood tests are kept low at 6 or less, through supplementation of trimethylglycine and choline in particular, as it provides proper methylation. To lesser extent will be folic acid and b12 since they are taken in much smaller quantities, so the body needs to have much more methyl donor taken in much greater quantities such as 4000 mg of trimethylglycine and perhaps choline at 1000 -2000 mg due to greater methyl donors in choline and hence less quantities are needed. I am sure there are several other issues. I had a case of a woman whose breast cancer was in the extremes both the breast swelled like a porn star and the lymph node swell in two armpits area and the pain goes all the way to the spinal column. It took two weeks to tame, but the breast were much smaller, much like a preteen woman, just through taking lysine, aspirin, vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide mostly. I later added tannic acid but at low dose of 1/4 teaspoon per liter of drinking water taken now and then to allow white blood cells to see them and an additional bloodroot tincture now and then, when it gets bad. In any event she did have a few flare ups, but mostly from eating bad food, alcohol, fruit juices, bananas, french fries, tapioca and potatoes. Fruit juices and bananas and pineapple are high in sugar, French fries, potatoes are high in calcium and yogurt and milk has to be avoided. This includes fried chickens and all vegetable oil laden food found in salad dressings as well. I am sure I havent quite cover everything, so this is just the highlights to breast cancer prevention and it's treatment, a basic summary"

IS THERE A TREATMENT FOR CUTANEOUS CANDIDA?

03/12/2010: Jamgirl from New Rochelle, New York, Usa writes: "I contracted cutaneous candida several years ago - it is present only under my arms and breasts. (At least this is what I was told. If I have it on the skin, does this mean that I also have it internally?) I was prescribed 3 creams - with only temporary relief. After the first two years my gp finally said, "Oh, there is no way to cure this. It will be with you forever!" Several times I went "nuts" because of the itching and scrated the skin - now I can feel that I damaged the skin and it seems to be permanently irritated. Is there any treatment? I have post Lyme symdrome (Lyme went untreated for 7 years), fibromialgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome, and some arthritis."

WOULD EDTA BE HELPFUL FOR THYROID ISSUES?

03/11/2010: Lilliana from Orlando, Florida writes: "My question is for Ted. Through independent research I have found that many of us with thyroid disorders also exhibit common symptoms of fragile bones and very stiff neck and shoulder muscles. I'm not sure if this is an effect of the thyroid medication or the condition itself. In either case, it seems that displaced calcium is at work here. Would it benefit a thyroid sufferer to supplement with EDTA to relieve symptoms?"

PETROLEUM DUMPING AND CANCER IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN

03/10/2010: Laurie from Wolverine, Mi writes: "Ted

Thank you, your knowledge has helped so many people. I moved to Northern Michigan about 10 years ago and since I have noticed so many people here that have cancer or have died of cancer. Some people think it is a coincidence, other agree. It is a beautiful area sandwiched between the great lakes, with lots of trees, lakes, rivers, you get the picture. I heard from some locals that petroluem dumping occured many, many years ago here, in my searching I have found no proof of this. I spoke with a guy the other day who said there were three sulphur dumps in and around our location and that he believes is causing all this. There is and has been many respitory/emphesiuma cases, it seems some areas people are sicker than others. There also has been throat cancer, alot of kidney/bladder cancer and breast cancer. Most people in general here look pasty and pale. The location in question is less than a 3 mile area. We personally have a well and septic as all due around here,which I test annually; it usually comes back high calcium carbonate/magnesium with no adverse issues. I will continue my search for real evidence, but would like to get your thoughts. A side note, our family has had sickly issues as well.

Thank you & God Bless
Laurie"

ADVICE REQUESTED ON CHOLESTEROL CONTROL

03/10/2010: Satish from Huntersville, Nc, Usa writes: "Dear Ted,

I am a young man of 50 and seem to be having an imbalance in my cholestrol levels. Details are as under:-

Ideal
Measurement Value 7 Dec 09 4 Mar 10 Change % Change
Cholestrol mg/dL <200 263 231 -32 -12%
HDL mg/dL >60 51 39 -12 -24%
LDL mg/dL <100 168 160 -8 -5%
Tryglycerides mg/dL <150 218 161 -57 -26%
LDL/HDL <2.5 3.3 4.1 0.81
Cholestrol/HDL <4.2 5.2 5.9 0.77

Lifestyle changes that brought my cholestrol down were - 30 minute Elliptical 5 times a week, daily Far Infra Red Sauna (1hour), lots of fruit & vegatables and a little bit of water & Celtic Sea Salt cure.

The three concerns I have are:-

1. HDL went down from 51 to 39
2. LDL has gone down only marginally from 168 to 160
3. My doctor is advising me to go on Crestor and I would prefer balancing my cholestrol levels through natural means only.

Please advise as to what you consider is best for me.

Thanks,

Satish"

COULD MAPLE SYRUP AND BAKING SODA MAKE CANDIDA WORSE?

03/06/2010: Green Eyes from Junction City, Ks, Usa writes: "Candida- Maple syrup /baking soda

Dear Ted, I am fighting a systemic yeast infection which has just about taken over my life with pain and sickness. I have been diagnosed with Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalga, menneires disease, Tmj, and Systemic Candida. My question is after trying many different remiedies I thought I had found one that seemed to be working. Then, I read that it is not something you agree with. I have been taking maple syrup and baking soda... 3:1 ratio. I read in the cancer section that it could in fact make cancer worse. Is this true for candida too? I have been taking it for about two weeks and I am now very concerned. Even though I do not have cancer, could it make the Candida worse or even worse change the fungus into cancer? Since, cancer can be a fungus? Thank you"

Ted, (Or anyone with info)

My friend's daughter is a diagnosed schizophrenic. Unfortunately they did not have insurance so she is under state care.

The doctors have been putting her on Clorizal(sp). Her mom is convinced that she is more paranoid now. She rarely will leave the group home she is in and when she does she is always terrified eventually. The staff says she is getting better.

Has anyone had this same experience with the symptoms getting worse.

Ted, do you have any idea how to counter act these anti psychotic drugs?

CAN YOU TAKE EXCEDRIN WITH FOOD GRADE PEROXIDE FOR MIGRAINES?

02/28/2010: Ted writes: "Dear Tyler:

The best cure for migraine headache I have found is caused by the lack of potassium, or too much sodium, from chloride intakes. Most often it's the potassium. The dose for potassium that I have tested that worked consistently and you should notice a marked headache reduction is 1/8 teaspoon to 1/4 teaspoon of potassium citrate. This should reduce the headache in about 5 minutes. If it comes back take another one. If potassium is not available, then it's the taurine, an amino acid which balances the potassium/sodium issue. Still, the third possible remedy perhaps, but not as impressive is the electrolyte packs which contains potassium citrate as it's ingredient, but not necessarily the potassium chloride. I don't generally use pain killers, and it's rare that I actually do (even the people I know including cancer pain). Acidity causes pain, osmolyte imbalance with excessive sodium and chloride, causes pain, by putting pressure on the cells that causes hyper osmolarity. All these idea actually came from a simple high school biology knowledge, but somehow, people still use pain killers. Magnesium and potassium are both intracellular fluids, which increases pressure inside the cells, but potassium is more related to electrolytes issue then the magnesium. By increasing the intracellular nutrients, including malic acid, vinegar, which is part of the citric acid inside the cells, but most notably the potassium, the headaches goes away usually in about 5 minutes or at least a noticeable reduction in less than 5 minutes. In case of taking excessive amounts of potassium overdose (the symptoms are excessive sweating and weakness) it will usually take less than a minute or two to stop this, is to take the sea salt, usually about 1/8 teaspoon in a small cup of water usually does it. I used both aspirin (brand name excedrin, bayer, etc.) and ibuprofen more like an antibiotics rather than a pain killer. That's beause the aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid) has an ability to dissolve bacteria and viruses, in about 30 minutes. But because of it's ability to reproduce (viruses espeically), and the aspirin is effectively neutralized after being digesting the virus, it's effectiveness don't last over an hour, but averages being neutralize mostly in about 35-45 minutes. Hence it's taken an hourly dose, or what I prefer a 4 dose 55 minute dose of asprin, usually four doses to complete the kill (including both the viruses, chalmydia, and most bacteria). The lack of sanitary measures (picking your noses with a unclean hands! lol) will get the viruses coming back. Ibuprofen, is a class of propionates, which acts more like an antibiotics and hence I use this against infection, rather than a pain killer, since commercially other propionates are used as a food preservatives, which works on the same principle as killing bacteria also.

Finally the last cure of headache I used, but this take 24 hours to work is just 1000 mg x 4 of vitamin C, but without the calcium. Calcium initiates headache, because it impairs intracellular fluids.

In whichever remedy that's used, I still don't find pain killers to work better than resolving the cause of headache, which from my observation is a deficient potassium, taurine, magnesium, and vitamin C, in that order, while having excessive levels of chlorides (chlorine, salt), and calcium.

Ted"

32 YEAR OLD WITH GOUT FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS - HELP!

02/28/2010: Ted writes: "Dear Ryan:

Baking soda doesn't cause high blood pressure, it tends to lower blood pressure. Sodium retention is caused by high chlorides and body tends to increase sodium to keep chloride low. Therefore the cause is chlorides, found in sodium chloride (salt), chlorine chemicals (bleach), most chlorides, sulfites, and basically high oils.

A low dose lithium will do it, but at only 1/100 of the dose they use in lithium carbonate, which is about 2.5 mg, instead of 250 mg of lithium carbonate currently in used. Coffee is the main problems I found causing the uric acid, in practice. Meats is possible, but in practice I found it to be from coffee and possibly tea. The body acquires more uric acid if you don't drink water during meals. If you want to lower gout, the body has to be alkaline first, such as urine pH is around 7, and saliva pH is around 7.3. Otherwise most medicines won't work.

32 YEAR OLD WITH GOUT FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS - HELP!

02/27/2010: Ryan writes: "Ted,

I have had gout 8 years. I am 32 years old. i have been misdiagnosed several times because of my age. The doctors i have been to in the U.S have not helped me much. originally they put me on allinpurnal 100mg, then they gave me 300mg. That worked for about 6 months. Then they gave me colchicine to get rid of the gout. well the allinpunal wasn't working and i was tired of getting the gout so i started taking the colchicine daily to prevent gout. It worked for about 3 months, then i started taking 0.6 mg twice a day. That worked for another 3 months. The problem with that is once i got a gout attack i could not take the colchicine to get rid of the acute attack.So they put me on indomethacin to help with the gout. The gout started progressively getting worse and more frequent about 2 years ago. Now i get the gout every 4 days and it can last up to 2 weeks. I have recently tried natural remedies such as Brolmein, vitamin C , vitamin B5, vitamin E, and potassium pills. I also tried celery seed, devil's claw, and black cherry juice. The black cherry juice was a success, but it was short lived, it worked an several attacks. For maybe about 7 months but now that does not work anymore! Its almost like my body becomes immune to the remedies. Is this possible? I have also tried your baking soda remedy, it seemed to do OK. but i was worried about high blood pressure from continued use? Finally about 6 months ago i changed my diet to NO red meat, NO seafood, and eliminating foods with high purines in them. Still no success, I cant work because of the gout, cant enjoy foods, and have nearly no social life due to being bedridden 4 days a week!! I have read several of your posts and thought i would email you direct. Is there anything else i can do?? PLEASE email me back if there is anything else i can do. Should i try to go back on the baking soda 3 times a day?? If so do i try it with apple cider vinegar?? PLEASE help???"

IODINE DOSAGE FOR A DOG?

02/26/2010: Mary writes: "Dear Szuki:

So good to see you care enough about your dog to go to this extent. I take Lugols Solution at 10 drops per day. to prevent breast cancer and pain in breast.

since I had it in the house I decided to give it to my little minature pinchers.

My naturopath recently returned from an immunology conference where he learned that we are all very deficient in this amazing nutrient. Since our soil is depleted our food is.The dosage he learned is one drop every three days for a newborn.

My dogs are 10 pounds so that would be safe for them.

I just put the drop directly on their raw meat. They do not even notice it. An excellent resource which wil make you feel safer giving your dog lugols solution is the Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care by CJ Poutin. Although it does not mention iodine in the form of Lugols it does mention it."

TED'S OPINION ABOUT ALKALINE VS ACIDIC?

02/25/2010: Dj from Pdx, Or, Usa writes: "Ted,

There have been a number of discussions lately on an alkaline body vs an acidic body.

A few have read DC Jarvis and he is a proponent of an acidic body. You lean more toward alkaline.

Could you please end some of the confusion? Which PH balance is better, alkaline or acidic? Are their certain ailments that one or the other is good for fighting? Eg: Alkaline is good at fighting off cancer but acidic is better for fighting the common cold?

Thanks for helping to clear up some of the confusion."

HAS TED UPDATED HIS CEREBRAL PALSY REMEDIES?

02/21/2010: Gemini from Los Angeles, California, Usa writes: "Dear Ted,

Do you have any new updates to your Cerebral Palsy remedy? Do you feel that the nootropil was a major factor in the improvement of those you have helped with Cerebral Palsy? There are some studies showing that nootropil (piracetam) caused an improvement in children with Cerebral Palsy, by alleviating spasticity. I have not found any studies where hydergine has been used to treat Cerebral Palsy. I do know that hydergine and nootropil (piracetam) work synergistically. Have you had any recent exceptional successes treating children with Cerebral Palsy?

Thanks"

COMBINING CARBS WITH PROTEIN: IS ACV AND BAKING SODA HELPFUL?

02/20/2010: Joyce from Dallas, Tx, Usa writes: "Dear TED from Bangkok, I have a question about combining Starchy Carbs with Proteins, as in Meat & Pasta. I hear this is the worst combination because it creates a neutral atmosphere in the stomach and does not allow enough stomach acid to build up, in order to fully digest both the carbs and mostly the proteins of that meal. It complicates digestion and inhibits the proper absorption of minerals and utilization of energy from carbs, which can cause vitamin deficiency and improper storage of carbs as fat. So, if this is true then would taking Baking Soda with ACV everytime I eat Spaghetti & Meatballs or Steak & Potatoes, would Baking Soda and ACV help to counteract against it or not. In other words, is it best in your opinion to take Baking Soda ACV, whenever I feel the urge to cheat or rather "TREAT" myself to a good old fashioned american meal like Meat and Potatoes or Pasta?"

STANNOUS CHLORIDE FOR HAIR REGROWTH

02/20/2010: Joyce writes: "I purchased the Stannous Chloride from Ebay. In the search field, just type in "Stannous Chloride", make sure you spell it right. Only one dealer will show up. My hair loss has stopped and my hair feels fuller. Also, I am growing more hair on my eyebrows now. I followed Ted's instructions and only took it for 3 days at the dosage that he specified. I noticed my results the next week, with my eyebrows being the most noticable. It is very strong and I had to plug my nose when I took it because it had such a strong taste. But the hair loss has stopped. What can I say, Ted's Awesome!"

GRANULOMA ANNULARE REMEDIES NEEDED

02/20/2010: Squirrel writes: "I've had granuloma annular for about 7 years now. I found that by taking vitamin d and calcium and magnesium supplements my skin lesions disappear. I think it has to do with the magnesium and or calcium. When I was tested for my vitamin d levels they were found to be low. The type of calcium / magnesium supplement I'm using is called Intracal. You can find it online. I take about 2000-4000 IU of vitamin d daily."

ORAL LICHEN PLANUS

WANTING TO KNOW TED'S OPINION ABOUT MMS2

02/17/2010: Virginia writes: "Hello,

would like to know if MMS1 after activated then adding water, can be taken sprayed directly under the tongue. I have heard this method goes directly to the bloodstream. It was also a easy method for me on the go. I have used a 10drop ratio with citrus acid in a small 2oz spray bottle. I waited the 3minutes, filled rest of the bottle with bottled water not tap water. I sprayed this concentrated solution under my tongue spraying in intervels throughout the day. Seemed to get sinus clogging and clearing and then severe headanches down the back of head and neck that stayed for several days. After stopping the intake symptoms disappeared. Is this a side effect that something is being killed or side effect of the method too quick into blood stream. Thks for your help."

BURNING AND HOARSENESS IN THROAT, MENOPAUSE A FACTOR?

02/17/2010: Delene writes: "I am in my mid 70s. I have had gerd, a hernia and reflux since I was 17. I now have severe Barrett's esophagus. I have had problems with yeast infection all my life, I also have very tender joints particularly the lower back, dry mouth, skin, eyes, vagina and a lot of complaints to numerous to mention, but it was mildly annoying. My doctor took me off my compounded hormones he said I was to old for hormones, the compounded thyroid has been taken off the market under the pressure of the FDA at the same time and I was on several supplements and because of the economy I dropped them temporarily. I went down like a rock, hot flashes, night sweats, exhaustion, nervousness, etc. Then the HORSE VOICE started and I began feeling like I was carrying a "wet sack of sand" on my back I could barely walk and I gained 15 pounds; this all happened in the last two months. I belong to another blog which is world wide and has several doctor that write to people and they all said the same thing, "You have sjogrens syndrome and to have stopped your hormones and thyroid caused you to have a flare". I looked it up, thinking, "Oh right", and to my surprise it fit. I had been tested for Lupus and was told that I had Fibromyalgia, I also was told at my age things happen and you have to learn to live with it. 1 in 500 women mostly post menopausal have SS and it is very hard to diagnose because it resembles many other things including RA; and testing for SS is very long, not mention uncomfortable. This note is very long, I know, but it might also be you. I also drink ACV with raw honey and it helps some.

Bless, Delene"

NON-STOP BLEEDING WITH LARGE CLOTS

02/15/2010: Tandiwe writes: "Hi there. I am 40 years old and have suffered with extreme menstrual cramping and clotting since my periods started. I get prescription pain killers from my GP.

Evening Primrose Oil seems to have cleared up the clotting. I started taking it 5 months ago and the 1st period after this had alot less than normal, the 2nd period after that had none at all!!!! It was amazing. Unfortunately I then had a loop diathermy of my cervix which has meant that I stopped taking the OEP as it thins the blood and so the clotting returned and the periods were excruciating (almost hospitalised with pain).

In the past the only pain free months I have ever had were when I was a vegan.

Hope this helps, tandi"
