Hey all! I could use some advice. As some of you know, I have been fighting some health issues for quite some time. I have been to more doctors and specialists then my memory can hold and take so many pills that I am called the Department Pharmacy at work.
I have come to you - oh great and all knowing people of healthy stuff, for advice. Zip and Chris know that I have a few permanent conditions that I don't want to share, but I have some really odd non-related stuff as well.
1. The corners of my mouth crack and bleed for no reason. My son says it scares him because he is afraid that it means that my mouth is getting bigger. Anyways, I have seen multiple causes for this - but no real cures. Are there any vitamins that I should be taking to help at least prevent this?
2. I have NO energy, I am nearly always half asleep no matter how much I drink cofee.
3. I have no apetite. A few of my meds cause this - but is there something out there that I can take to stimulate my apetite?
4. My immune system sucks eggs - this is due to a few meds too - but is there anything *natural* that I should take to try to boost it?
And on a side note - pay no attention to Zip when she starts yelling at me to go to the doctor - I hate going to the doctors.
;0)
Thanks for any ideas you offer!

Yikes. I guess like any other product, there is the creme de la creme out there. Be careful out there.
Here's an interesting herbal resource site.
Mine is 47.. I always have to tell the docs to expect it.. that its normal for me..
That's pretty mellow...
I can also send you to a site later for a nutritional drink that is having great results. And I can turn you on to a good cleansing substance made from a zeolite mineral. The substance grabs toxins and flushes them out of your system. And, unlike using chelation therapy, this zeolite will not remove calcium or other beneficial minerals, which have to be replaced. i want this info too please.
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...
Very.. but my personality doesnt reflect it ;P
A coffee enema?? Gad!
i want this info too please. I'd appreciate the information, also.
The lady that manages the local 'Vitamin Shoppe' franchise used coffee enemas as part of the protocol she used to reverse ovarian cancer. Might be a good time of year to try it out with all those holiday blends hitting the market. (Bad...bad.)
Ditto...he sent me some great info a few months ago.
Heh, that is a low price too. You can spend 5000 to 7000 dollars on a bicycle. I want a Maverick American ML7 which will be in that price range to build up (the frames are over 2000 alone) and it is the finest mountain bike ever designed and manufactured. http://www.maverickamerican.com/ Being a road racer and tourist all my life I have never ever owned a suspension framed machine. That will be my first. It is an American design, and no suspension bicycle has ever been designed so well, though other manufacturers have been paying to use their innovative designs. As for being careful, why th heck do you think I relocated back to Eugene from Portland, Oregon in the first place? ;-) Ten percent of people in Eugene go to work on bicycles and bicycles are more common here then anywhere else I've been to in the United States. We have more bike shops then the Portland and Portland is a huge bike center too. The thing I hate about Portland is that the growth of bicycling has exploded so much in PDX, there is a war between cars and bikes right now. It can be dangerous up there. In one incident I had a large old American car try to hit me deliberately twice, the second time a passenger tried to open the door on me because they didn't like my California stop on the designated bike route I was on. I was on a quality mountain bike and hopped the curb, rode up the sloping lawn of the house there and did a fast reverse and dented a tail-light fin with my numb-chucks which hook together and look like a bicycle pump. I got three dents in before they gave up and quit the field of battle. I am no one to fuck with. If someone thinks I am an easy target on a bicycle, they are a fool. In any event, I prefer safer Eugene to Portland as it is already too much extra weight to have to carry a quality set of locks, never mind the ordinance I was carrying up there.
wow, great information, innie. where do you get black walnut hulls?
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...
do you do these essential oils orally?

quit the microwave. bad news and it probably just undid the good green tea nutrition.

I wish LanceArmstrong had done his training in Oregon, anywhere in Oregon, rather than Austin - I may be the only person in this town that doesn't own at least one bike.
micro-waving food is bad?
Psalm 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
see innie's #78

Not sure about Mr. Turtle, but I do. MAKE REAL SURE they can be consumed...the oils that I take internally have a 'Supplement Facts' label on them, whereas the ones designated for diffusion or other external purposes do NOT. However, I am not sure that is an industry-wide standard. Be VERY CAREFUL with this...even oils applied to the skin can cause a lot of pain if not mixed with a diffusing oil...take it from one who has made such unpleasant errors in the past.
Yes, Austin is a huge bike town too. They have a 'Bicycles not Bombs' branch there which is much of the same mindset as 'Food not Bombs.' We get Austin people here occasionally and every one I've met are awed by our bicycle path system and always say they wish it was as bicycle friendly in Texas. Lance Armstrong is a rock star here. You don't get a "Lance who?" response to his name or image here. He would draw a major crowd and the full media attention if he showed up in Eugene. The Tour de France gets page one coverage here, and local races always draw a major crowd. If you guys ever get tired of Lance, by all means, send him here. We would dearly love a local like him around.
wow! I had no idea about microwave cooking.
Psalm 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
a thread not to be missed, Mom.

It only takes a couple minutes to heat water in a tea kettle. We've all been duped. I still use the microwave at work sometimes.
ok! i'll probably go out and spend a fortune on all these things, take them a couple of weeks, then they'll sit on the shelf while i forget what is good for what. ;)
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...
Lance gets lots of love here, as well as state-wide: there's talk that he could go into politics and do quite well - although his recent divorce would be a negative in some circles. Whatever else, his life-story to date is nothing less than an unbelievable miracle.
Yikes. I guess like any other product, there is the creme de la creme out there. That's about what my favorite mode of transportation is worth too... Some notable similarities: *Mine also has health benefits. If you don't believe it, try giving it a spin for a few miles one day. The next day you'll discover muscles you didn't know you had. *You don't need a license to ride it. *You never have to stop at a gas station. *It doesn't add to the environmental pollution problem. But there are some notable differences too. Among them are: *Mine weighs 1200 lbs more. *Mine is capable of auto-pilot, which could be handy in the event that for some reason you are incapacitated and unable. *Mine is very much less restricted in where you can go. Some people are like slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, except to put a smile on your face when you push them down stairs.
I don't know if a health food store or herbal remedy place would carry them or not. I don't have to go far - I have a big black walnut tree in my backyard ;)

nice photos of good R & R
My great-nephew won the "bucking bull" (really a barrel with a saddle on it) contest at the State Fair this year in the three-year-old class - we're looking forward to getting him going on a pony next year when the family should be in their new house on the family farm in north Texas.
HAHAHA I bought some pills one time that were touted as being good for the memory... But I forgot where I put 'em ;)

Riding horses is something I dearly miss. And I've never got to do it very much since I was a kid. I'm afraid I'm still much of a novice at it.

Here's one place of tons of places to buy.
That's really cool!!! Congrats, you have a natural in the family!! He'll love it!!! Won't be long, and he'll be gone for hours at a time with his best friend in the whole world... Our lives with horses are rich with feeling. If you've ever... choked back tears watching a new foal wobble to his feet for the first time... or watching your good horse wobble to his feet after surgery... or seen the ends of the reins float straight out as a reining horse spins beneath them... or chuckled to yourself as you watched a tiny tot on a patient pony trot through a barrel pattern at a saddle club playday... or felt the building tremble as an eight-up hitch of feather-legged giants towed a hand-carved beer wagon into the arena... or had your heart stop when you saw your horse lying motionless in the pasture on a sunny day -- and waited breathlessly to see an ear flicker... or cheered at the screen when The Man From Snowy River slid Dunnie down the mountainside, or when Seabiscuit made his final surge to best War Admiral... or cruised along the highway and seen a horse in the pasture and wondered what he's like to ride... or pictured him as a prospect... or sucked in your breath as a horse and rider approached a six-foot wall... or sworn a solemn oath to your horse that together you would triumph... or flipped through the TV channels and stopped when you saw a horse... even when it was a commercial... or laughed aloud when you rubbed your horse's face and he rubbed back... or gotten chills hearing Dave Johnson's "...and DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME!" (Or "Run For The Roses" circa 1980 ish?) or stood in awe at your horse in morning play as he sprinted around the pasture, then stopped, head erect, and snorted defiance at the rest of the world... or been thankful to see wild horses grazing casually at the foot of a hill... or felt calmed by the sleekness of a silky haircoat beneath your hand... or felt your jaw drop as you watched a Lipizzan perform a capriole... or if you've ever seen someone in the grocery store wearing a certain kind of hat or boots or buckle, or have a certain cut and length to their jeans... and felt some remote kind of connection... or felt warmed by a soft-nicker greeting you as you entered the barn... If you've ever been moved by any of these feelings, then you've seen the awesome power of God's creations.

Indeed, all true.
Man...is that ever a great resource. There is such a wealth of information on this thread re: health issues; I am bookmarking it, and suggest everyone else do the same.
good idea
I have had experience with people who have that sort of competitive personality. Steve Prefontaine used to live down the street from me and owned a gold MGB (the car he crashed and died of suffocation in). Mom bought an MG Midget and was off at the office and driving the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Steve gave a quick knock on the screen door the week she got it and said hi as he walked in without an invite. He commented on the Midget and scooped up the keys on the table in the dining room and said he was going to try it and that he'd be right back. Me and my brother had not said yes or no, he just grabbed the keys and drive off with it. I called Mom and told her and there was silence at her end for a minute. All she said was, "call me when he comes back." I did and put him on the phone. All they did was talk for half an hour about sports cars. After that, Mom would tell everyone who broached the topic of her car with pride that Steve Prefontaine himself had driven her car. Go figure. I was on the road in Connecticut when the news about his death came. I barely made it to the side of the road to stop I was so grieved. We sure miss him here in Eugene. He too was a great man, a firebrand, a trend setter and a free independent spirit. We were lucky and blessed to have him. I sure miss him.
You are killing me here today...my wife and I LOVE 'Whole Foods' markets; everyone should shop there, if you are fortunate enough to have one nearby. (Click here to find out.) While living in the Upper Connecticut River valley; we would travel 240 miles ROUND TRIP just to shop at the Whole Foods market in Hadley, Mass. (The only reason I would visit that sewer.) Shopping there is almost a religious experience for those of us who don't have local access to one. I just found one in Greenville SC (coincidentally; home of my favorite chicken wing/cold beer establishment), and am more than willing to make the trip just to shop there. For some odd reason, there is NO ACCESS to any establishment selling nutrional/healthy FOOD in East Tennessee. No wonder the medical cartel rules this area with an iron fist.
Feeling tired and loss of appetite without a concomitant loss in weight and poor immune system - have you been tested for hypothyroidism? You need a physician to administer the tests - TSH and Free T3 and Free T4 levels. There are other symptoms of hypothyroidism which you may or may not have - hair breaking or some hair loss, pale dry skin, outside edges of eyebrows thinning, nails not growing or splitting if they do grow, consistently low body temperature than normal, cold intolerance, constipation, memory loss.
are those pics of you and your horses? if so, can i come visit? ;)

A good liver cleansing will also help. Some use a coffee enema in extreme cases, but I think you might try Alpha Lipoic Acid and Milk Thistle extract. Both have been shown to be liver cleansing and regenerative substances.
