Still searching for you...

I know. hope his family is okay and all.

(((JF))) Hang in there God is not deaf, he might be lining things up for your answer. He loves you.

Yes and if a pharmacutical sales person came in five minutes before you with a NEW drug... Then, the Doctor says, "Well let's try this and see how it works for you..." So we are at the mercy of the drug ealse person and the insurance customer service. I am glad we have Doctors I just do not think they have all the answers because in my life they haven't.

Yeah, behind some of those well educated Doctors, is a minimum wage earning insurance customer service rep making decisions about our health care! Yes, frightening....

Yipee! Laleo is back! Yeah! (jumping up and down!) I will try again.

Loved the stories!

Chiropractors: I was in an accident and was regular in visiting an orthopedic surgeon. We tried exercise, pain pills and muscle relaxers. I could not pick up my purse I could not bend my neck to brush my teeth, I was in pain constantly. I had to use a contraption where weights were hung off my neck and I had lay with these weights around three or four times a day if memory serves. My surgeon sat down with me and told me the only thing left was surgery but that ran the risk of being paralyzed. HE TOLD ME of a chiropractor who did "manipulation under anesthesia". HE said I should consider it. It was a NEW procedure but there had been GREAT results. So, I did it. I was put in the hospital for a few days and they knocked me out and adjusted my neck. At the end of the few days, I was "fixed". I could pick up my purse, bend over the sink and live without pain. The other man who had the procedure done was a "rug layer" (It was his company) and he had injured himself two years before and could not work. At the end of the week he returned to work. It was so amazing that the "medical spot" on the news heard of it and arranged an interview with me. They showed parts of my "procedure" that were taped for training others on television as well as my new found mobility. And that Huntington Beach Orthopedic Doctor recommended him. California is progressive. Not everything is hokie. The known science of the day is not always right. Once they swore the world was flat. They used to think that foods had larva within until they discovered food free of flies simply rotted away. Not to long ago you science guys swore there was nothing smaller than an atom then you split the atom and behold stuff was in there. For years they told people not to eat eggs because they would ruin your heart. Thus “eggbeaters” were created. The healthy "science egg". The whole time the holistic folks were saying “eat the egg in its entirety” because the lecithin in the one part will emulsify the cholesterol in the other…. Then, all of a sudden eggs were healthy again in the (much of the) medical community. Western medicine puts each part of the body into a separate category. Such as the ear Doctor thought I was going deaf as a result of tinnius when it was a infected tooth/gum/jaw which was the cause. Eastern medicine seems to look at things in their entirety and I think that to be more prudent. Now, I do not believe that dancing around a fire wearing a head dress will bring rain, but I do think opening my mind up to different ideas may provide health. It is okay if you are more boxed in --- in your beliefs. You gotta find what works. My search for what works just takes me outside the box. And yes, there may be strange ideas that do not work outside that box, but there maybe something that does work.

Gotta tell you, I would pay $200 for electric shoes if they stopped my ear from ringing. And if they stopped it from ringing you could hand me 1000 tests that say it does not work, but if my ear was clear of the horrible noise leading to deafness or insanity, I would not care about your tests. Chiropractors were considered "quacks" for years because the medical community enjoys surgery -- bigger bucks. But a chiropractor put my neck back together when the medical community failed. The medical community also laughed at Dr. Atkins for years. Now all of a sudden the carb thing is valid and people are loosing weight. The holistic medical community was snickered at when they told women NOT to take premarin (hormone) as the medical Doctors were pushing all of us into it. (Incl. me). Then, about 10 years later they announce it does cause cancer and makes women FAT and do NOT take it. Sometimes the medical community has to catch up with the holistic community before they scoff and dismiss things.

This will sound dumb but I have no kids... What is T ball?

I love the Renasince Fair (I do not feel like looking up the spelling) Okay the fajata's wil be a mix of chicken, steak and shrimp with green peppers and onions. Flour tortillas

Here is Tom getting ready to make a cell phone call.

Diazbro You are hot and funny! :)-->

So make out master, what do you do that makes you the master?

Hey buddy, I miss you! I just went to e-mail you and your e-mail is down or gone or something. I miss your thoughtful, well-written posts.

Where did he go?

That is the way I understood things, but then again, I belonged to a cult. Work Wolf or Mark S. may know... facts and scripture and all...

Ala It must be Freudian. I must really like him. CC- I am sorry you have to deal with an "innie" as a spouse. How awful... And I am sure they are praying for YOUR deliverance! Wewerescammed Welcome back and you can lead songs. (But you will have to check with the new Way prod Manager - CoryDJ) Are you related to Scammie? I miss him too. Ala, Wahington W, Catcup and Dmiller can run international outreach. Cherish Child you up for new Prez? We can have our first meeting at Outandabout's house.

WW I think I recall those guard things... I will have to look... Thanks

A few years back a neurologist was discovered with a brain tumor and before he died he was warning the world about the dangers of cell phones. He stated he KNEW that is what happened to him. My hubs wants to get rid of our home phone and just have a cell phone. I remembered what that Doctor had warned and went in search of any findings and found several. All very interesting... If I am going to die I think I would rather about ten different ways then brain cancer/tumors. That has got to be up there with the worst ways to go.

Thanks for the info. BTW, I have missed you.

Thanks everyone for all the info. I guess I will stop the peroxide. But the sweet oil did soothe my ear and stop the noise. I must say, now that the noise has stopped, I can hear better than before the candle thing. Dmiller The candle is like a cone it goes almost to a point with a little hole for the smoke to come out, it would be difficult, but not impossible for the wax to fall through the hole INTO your ear.

Wacky I found this, it sounds interesting. (Except that they also left the "z" out of recognise and organi"z"ation -- the "z" thing makes me nuts) http://www.craniosacral.co.uk/whatiscst.htm What is Craniosacral Therapy? Craniosacral therapists recognise health as an active principle. This health is the expression of life - an inherent ordering force, a natural internal intelligence. Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle and profound healing form which assists this natural bodily intelligence. It is clear that a living human organism is immensely complex and requires an enormous amount of internal organisation. Craniosacral Therapy helps nurture these internal ordering principles. It helps increase physical vitality and well-being, not only effecting structural change, but also having much wider implications e.g. improving interpersonal relationships, managing more appropriately etc. Dr William Sutherland, an American osteopath, discovered intrinsic movements of the bones of the skull around the turn of the century. His further research revealed different rhythmic tidal motions in the body. These movements, which can be measured with delicate scientific instruments, are a direct expression of the health of the system. As research continued it became apparent that these movements are inextricably linked with not only physical health but also mental and emotional health. Palpation of these tide- like motions allows Craniosacral therapists to facilitate change in areas of restriction. This restriction of movement corresponds to a lack of the capacity of the life force to express its self-healing. This absence of health may result in disease or a sense of something missing or numbness. The whole of our life history is held in our physical form. An integral part of this work is the patient's developing awareness of how their story is held and how it unfolds. We are a unit of life function and this is completely respected in Craniosacral Therapy. The work can address issues in whatever way the client wishes; physical aches and pains, acute and chronic disease, emotional or psychological disturbances, or simply developing well-being, health and vitality. Craniosacral Therapy is so gentle that it is suitable for babies, children, and the elderly, as well as adults; and also in fragile or acutely painful conditions. As a whole body therapy, treatment may aid almost every condition, raising the vitality and enabling the body's own self-healing process to be utilised. The following is a list of some of the common conditions treated; Arthritis Insomnia Asthma Lethargy Autism Menstrual pain, PMS Back pain Migraine Birth trauma Post-operative Bronchitis Problems during and after pregnancy Cancer Reintegration after accidents Cerebral Palsy Fall or injury Colic Sciatica Depression Sinusitis Digestive problems Spinal curvatures Drug withdrawal Sports injuries Dyslexia Stress related illnesses Exhaustion Tinnitus and middle ear problems Frozen shoulder TMJ (jaw) disorders Hormonal imbalances Visual disturbances Hyperactivity Whiplash injuries Immune system disorders The work can be profoundly relaxing, exhilarating, deeply moving or involve a resolution of old material. Sometimes the benefits are not immediately noticeable but become obvious on returning to a familiar environment. Sessions are usually between 40 - 60 minutes in total.

George you quoted where your article said they opened the candle that was burned out in the fresh air and it was identical to the one in the ear. That is not the case with my friends nor me. The open-air candle did have white crumble wax in it but not the brown earwax. The ones in my ears did have the brown earwax. Also, last night I put "sweet oil" in my ear and the ringing stopped. Valerie- The tinnius is a horrible malady. About five years ago my other ear had loud buzzing all the time. I about went mad. I went to an audiolist who told me I had tinnius and would go deaf. Well, I would have preferred deaf over the ringing. I also used white noise to get through a day or a night sleeping. A fan in the background was the best for me. I went to an ear specialist who then told me about an ear product like a hearing aid, which manufactured a white noise to help me exist. I read all I could to heal myself naturally and I kept reading most people with this malady die of suicide. And it was a consideration as the noise (like a trapped bee) was testing my sanity. In the meantime, I had to go to a pariodontist (gum guy) and he found I had a "hull" of a piece of pop corn stuck up (way up) under my gum which had led to an infection and the deterioration of my jaw bone. When I had surgery to remove the infected part my ear no longer rang. Apparently, I was HEARING my jaw being eaten away by infection. The gum guy said 90% of his business is from popcorn hulls. Makes me reconsider my snacks.
