RE: Digest Number 634

Hi Snoshoe

Thanks for replying. It's good of you to ask your friend if she knows of
anyone :-) I've also placed an ad on the ElectrosensitivityUK message board
and there should be an ad in the next "Circuit" newsletter (UK based) self
help group. So like yo say, you never know. Thanks for the advice about my
neck and spine. I do find a massage and trying to sit straighter helps to
relieve it but the inflammtory pain is my immune system out of whack and it
would great if I could fix my immune system. I am considering immunoglobulin
injections to help with the candida/viral problems.

Thankyou for thinking good thoughts for me and the candle, it's most kind of
you :-)
Rachel

Well, it may be a longshot, but you never know. Have friend that was
former UK citizen, I'll ask if she knows anyone there that might be
interested.

I have that burning in my head/neck/spine at times. I've found it is
most often due to a chemical weed or bug exposure. I've found
nothing that helps it whatsoever, I just take milkthistle and
whatever I have to support liver and hopefully clear it out sooner.
Usually takes 3 days when it happens. Sometimes pinched nerves also
involved in neck. Have read many, many people with CFS have had neck
injuries, and it causes spinal stenosis? -impedes the flow of the
spinal fluid. Surgery can often correct it, but awful scary to me
that close to spinal cord and at the top of your neck. Rather try
Perla's idea of loosening that area up.
On some people pushing that vertabra in, where the usual is not the
natural position for that individual can cause heart attack not long
after.

Will burn a candle for good thoughts for you. Helpful or not as
people believe, the good wishes are there. :)

Hi Marc

>>The chronic infections/candida is something that I treated mostly
with citrus seed extract and probiotics. Also seaweed/aloe vera
supplements like Seasilver helped improve my candida and also my
ES. Also I've taken a lot of heavy metal removal products (e.g. NDF)

I've tried a lot of natural remedies some help more than others, but I've
yet to come close to a cure. In addtion I use a lot of Nizoral prescription
shampoo for my candida related problems. I find aloe vera helps but I'm
allergic to citrus products and I've tried the silver but got a very bad
reaction it as I have poor kidney function.

>>>I'm curious if you have had a lot of mercury dental fillings (or your
mother did)? Some of your symptoms seem like they could be mercury
related.

Yes I have a lot of mercury fillings which I want to have removed but can't
afford to do right now. I agree that a mouth full of mercury must be
exacerbating everything and hindering my immune system. Many thanks for the
list of EMF protection products, I will look into these. Glad to hear you
are a lot better than you were. It's good to know people can make
significant improvements:-)

Regards
Rachel

Yes, everyone has their own allergies and sensitivities that makes
their own situation unique. When I said "Seasilver" I was referring
to a seaweed/aloe product, not colloidal silver (in case that is what
you thought). I've also tried a variety of colloidal silvers, and
never found them to live up to their claims (not for me, anyway). They
do seem to help a bit during a cold/flu, but that's about it.

It sounds like you may be too weak right now to deal with the
unavoidable exposure to mercury during removal, so it may be
just as well that you can't afford it now.

Note that the Quantum Products offers a free download of software to
make your computer feel less harmful, so you can judge whether or not
this technology works for you without spending any money. If you
don't notice anything from the software, then you probably
won't notice anything from any of their other products:

Also, way back in the beginning of my recovery, I recall that I got
some good benefits from taking things which raised my body pH.
I used products like Active H, which you can get in the UK here:

http://www.crystalenergy.co.uk/anti_oxidants/active-h.html

But since this is a rather expensive supplement, note that there are
lots of ways to raise your pH... some people use Willard Water, some
use calcium supplements, and some simply eat more asparagus!
