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!

Part of a wonderful tribute - thanks. We were fortunate to see a Lipizzaner's practice session while in Vienna - I believe it was even more amazing than watching one of their touring shows because you could see all ages, and all stages, of what they go through to achieve the perfection that they take on the road. Cutting and roping quarter horses, Tennessee Walkers, Arabians, and the American thoroughbred are my "favorites."
No, I wouldn't want to put pics of my horses on the web.. I don't want Homeland Security to be able to identify my getaway vehicle... What, you wouldn't come visit otherwise?? ;)
Some people are like slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, except to put a smile on your face when you push them down stairs.
algore did very well when he invented the internet. The Herbs Place is indeed worthy of bookmarking.
I feel very lucky that I made it long enough to slow my ass down - besides, I have no desire to make any new cop-type acquaintances while on the road. I've had the MGB, BMW, Mercedes SL and other rigs that could have been my demise, back when. Now, my pick-up gets me where I need to be in a timely enough manner.
One thing I learned way back from my HomeEc teacher mom, was that if you want some product stocked in a store, go to the manager and ask for it. Here in Austin, the "organic" sections of the groceries seem to be growing daily as more people are learning of the crap that's in many of our food-stuff, and are willing to pay a bit more for better quality product.
Few people realize just how amazing the feats those magnificent beauties perform really are. They make it look so simple and natural in their "road shows". If cost were no object, it would be a lot easier for me to name the very few breeds I wouldn't care about owning, rather than the ones I would.. I'd love to have a Cleveland Bay, Friesan, Salerno, and of course a Shire... BTW, the largest horse ever on record was a Shire named Samson - he measured 21.2 hh, and weighed 3360 lbs!!!

The locals aren't interested. They like it deep-fried, with plenty of lard, to boot. I give up..."pearls before swine", and all that.
I use the lavender for surface wounds. I use the peppermint, a drop in a glass of water, if I have a queasy stomach. The lemon I mostly use for cleaning all kinds of things -- a drop in the dishwater, bath, cleaning furnitive. A little of all of them go a long way.

Somebody here mentioned something about parasites, but I'm not going through 134 posts to find out who. Best thing for that, probably, is wormwood. DO NOT USE THE ESSENTIAL OIL. It's poisonous, not to mention unbearably bitter. Tea's fine. Just type "wormwood parasites" into Google and you'll get all kinds of info.

As pricey as they are, they need to go a long way. Commercial grade lemon and orange oil are great for furniture as well as stainless steel surfaces, I learned way back while working for PizzaInn. FWIW
The nutritional drink is called Vibe. https://www.enivamembers.com/? ID=286225 Here is an mp3 also http://ourbest4u.com/audio/1025 06vibe.mp3 And this one with Dr. Burba, a Naturopath for 33 years. More product info:http://www.enivamembers.com/zvibe_1.aspx?ID=286225 Also, from the nanotechnology people who brought you the Energy Enhancer patch, we have the Skin Care system which has a Glutathione patch that is the master anti-oxidant and detoxifier. It recycles Vitamin C and E, CoQ10 and CoA. You can see more here: http://www.lifewave.com/nanopower19 Click on the Skin Care system. The patch may be ordered alone. You do not need to get the whole Skin Care package. This patch increases glutathione by 300% in 24 hours. The closest competitor is 30% in 30 days. I will hold off with the zeolite product for now since the Vibe is so much better. And the glutathione patch is a monstrous success as far as results. Even people who have quit smoking 20 years ago can smell the nicotine coming out of their skin.

Lemon makes things smell good and it disinfects. Great for wood, too. I put a couple of drops in a water spritzer, and it goes a long, long way.

I have another use for lavender...combine a few drops with a mixing oil, and massage it into your wife/girl friend's back. Two essential steps: make sure the phone is off the hook, and your kids are nowhere around (preferably a friend/relative's house).
Lavender smells great, and it drives women nuts. Check out a lavender cologne called Puig.

sounds like a soothing cure
I "googled" it, but I'm a bit confused. The Quorum? The splash? The unisex one? Inquiring minds, and all that...
They're all nice, but I just liked the plain old cologne. It tends to be a bit expensive, but on the Internet you can find some pretty inexpensive prices on it.

My wife LOVES lavender, so I will give it a try. Thanks!
BTTT Just so you do not miss the info.

my source for coconut milk powder. i put a tablespoon in my one cup of morning coffee. it makes it thick, frothy, and delicious.
You should try coconut rum in coffee.. gawd its so good :P
where do you get it?
Hi Cappy! I read an article about the sides of the mouth being cracked and/or chapped, and they say this is often caused by too much yeast in the system. Yeast can also make a person feel very tired, and some people, especially if their immune system is not up to par can have this condition. Most people associate yeast with vaginal yeast infections, but men can have this condition too, often it will reside in the intestines and other parts of the body. You can buy those healthy bacterias (can't think of what they are called now) that are healthy for the gut and keep yeast in check. In Europe they used to sell small bottles of this in their grocery stores, and I'm sure you can find it in health food stores near where you live. They sell it in pill form, but the liquid form works better as the bacteria survive longer in liquid. I just saw this thread and have not read it yet, perhaps someone else has already written about this, but it wouldn't hurt to buy some of this stuff and see if it does not help clear up the problem. This might sound gross, but you could also buy over the counter yeast infection cream and put dabs of it on the sides of your mouth before going to bed, and that would most likely help clear up the cracking at the sides of the mouth. I am often tired too, and will have to start working full time soon. It's tough to always feel tired, and have to deal with a family and a job, that in itself is enough to wear a person out. Good luck to you, I am sure there will be many helpful hints in this thread, maybe I'll run across some info on fatigue as I need to increase my energy level as well.
Probiotics can be found at http://www.vitacost.com . Five billion microorganisms per cap is what they claim - my tummy should be crawling with'em.
Probiotics is the remedy for yeast infections. There are many good products. The idea is to populate your gut with the good bacteria. These bacteria then keep the bad bacteria, such as Candida, under control. But you have to keep up with it since our diets do not give us what we need to keep the good bacteria thriving. Also, taking drugs and antibiotics will kill the good bacteria and allow the yeast to take hold.

Sure looks like SE Utah there, Innie. Ceader Mesa area. Is it?
Where are you? Are you allright?

Another thing, I don't know how old you are, though it seems I've heard you're one of the babies here. It's now known that when women reach their late 30s (don't know if you are there yet), their bodies don't produce as much progesterone as they once did. This can cause fatigue, PMS, insomnia, grouchiness, and weight gain. Many women in their 40s are affected by this, and they now have bio-identical natural progesterone cream that you simply rub on your skin (anywhere on your body where there is thin skin) and it soaks in and helps to relieve some of those symptoms. This past year I started having problems with insomnia, and occasional bad moods and such, and I found a pharmacy in Anchorage that has bio-identical hormones that they compound, so you know the stuff is fresh and an exact dose. I started using their progesterone cream and it has helped somewhat with the insomnia and other things. They now make bio-identical estrogen too, but most women don't need that until after menopause, and many women decide they don't want to use any hormones. You can buy progesterone cream over the counter, they probably have that at health food stores also. Some brands are better than others, many are just as good as the natural bio-identical progesterone compounded at pharmacies. The pharmaceutical hormones, such as progestin and premarin are not natural to our bodies, and many women can't take those as they cause too many unwanted side effects. For instance I was never able to take birth control pills. In order for the pharmaceutical companies to make a profit on women's hormones, they have to change the molecular structure somewhat in order to have a patent. The big pharms don't like compounding pharmacies as they make natural hormones which women's bodies soak right up and use correctly, because they are a competition to their adulterated hormones which aren't as good since they tend to have the side effects. However the natural progesterone has no bad side effects, is easy to use and is also amazingly cheap. There is information on the internet about this, along with brands that are good, the progesterone has to be in a cream that makes it absorb in the body, and the expiration date is very short, so these are important factors when choosing a brand to use.
There's very little sun here now and many people in this area don't have enough vitamin D. I know they sell vitamin D pills, but I wonder if it's best to take it in the form of cod liver oil??
It's the quickest and least-tasty way. Otherwise, fish like salmon is the best. I use cod liver oil in the winter, as much as I hate it, but in the summer I get 20 minutes of sun a day and eat fish.

Just a reminder that at 9:30 PM EST (I would call in at least 5 minutes before) Dr. Burba will be conducting his VIBE overview call. If you have Questions for him you can email them to him at burba@fone.net but I would try to get them in to him by 7 PM EST. The Number for the 9:30 PM EST Call is 1-712-338-8100 PIN: 33767# Already with the new VIBE 2.0 I strongly agree with others that the flavor is much better when it is added to water or a juice. So, if you have not yet ordered your VIBE 2.0 Bottle/Box or Bottles and you do not have a sponsor/upline go to: https://www.enivamembers.com/?ID=286225.

ANYONE HEARD FROM CAPPSMADNESS SINCE SHE POSTED THIS?
The mind once expanded by a new idea never returns to its' original size
thanks. that's good information.
This election was a planned step back to take two steps forward.
https://www.enivamembers.com/?ID=286225 Here is an mp3 also http://ourbest4u.com/audio/1025 06vibe.mp3 And this one with Dr. Burba, a Naturopath for 33 years. http://ourbest4u.com/audio/0413 06drb3.mp3 More product info:http://www.enivamembers.com/zvibe_1.aspx?ID=286225 Also, from the nanotechnology people who brought you the Energy Enhancer patch, we have the Skin Care system which has a Glutathione patch that is the master anti-oxidant and detoxifier.

You do not need to get the whole Skin Care package. This patch increases glutathione by 300% in 24 hours. The closest competitor is 30% in 30 days. I will hold off with the zeolite product for now since the Vibe is so much better. And the glutathione patch is a monstrous success as far as results. Even people who have quit smoking 20 years ago can smell the nicotine coming out of their skin. There is a free sample available of the LifeWave patches, your choice: Energy, Rest Quiet, or IceWave — a full week's supply plus a DVD — FREE. Click on the small Free Trial banner on this page. You can watch the short video if you choose or just click the button to be taken to the page. I urge any and all of you who read this to take the opportunity and try the patches. IceWave is a pain control patch, and I am trying that one myself (paid) since I have not as yet. Rest Quiet is the sleep patch which works well for me and even helps with snoring and will make you dream, vividly even. The Energy patch is still a good deal, and I have some good personal testimonials about it. Only new people can get the free sample, so if you are already a member, you cannot get it. (Sorry, Lod. Use the free sample thingy to send some friends to your site to get theirs.) And don't forget to check out the Vibe information. I was on the call last night with Dr. Burba and it was very enlightening. Here is a list of things you can do to share Vibe with others, 7 Easy Steps for Sharing VIBE. And there are a few phone number with info and conference call numbers, like last night, there as well.

yes, your mouth is cracked and bleeding due to a vitamin c deficiency, also called scurvy. try either dr. raths vita c forte with vitacorp plus, which is the best, or get alacer triple gram III and take several thousand milligrams a day. if the amt you take never causes diaherreah, then you are using it up pretty much. so you cant take too much. good luck.
bookmarked!
My advice is to partake of copius amounts of marijuana. Although this will more than likely not fix the problem, you will be so stoned as to not care. I don't mean to make light of your illness, just trying to add a little humor. I wish I could give you some advice, but I've none to give.
Glad to see this thread pop up again, lots of good info on it.
YEAH!!
Ad you know.. I had some similar issues .. and it was a vitamin B deficiency.. caused by stress for one thing.. vitamin B deficiency can cause mental confusion ... exhaustion .. cracking mouth and tongue.. hair loss..
...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.

I've got blond hair and blue eyes, and the last time I saw the doctor (in the winter) he tested the Vitamin D in my blood and told me I had only half what I should have. He told me to take cod liver oil during the winter. So I did, and the change in how I feel during the winter has been very noticeable.
