&amp;gt; Sort of along a similar thread, I heard some bizarre thing that men go&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; through a similar thing that women do when it&amp;#039;s about that time of the&lt;br /&gt;&#13;

Nah!  Mine is a pain in the ass all the time&lt;br /&gt;&#13;

Re: of course...&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; of course the cavities might have something to do with sugar intake! :)&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt;      My parents severely limited my sugar intake as a child, and made me&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; brush and floss daily... So, presently, I have no cavities!&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Welll Gabby, that depends a lot on a good dental program and visits, also gen&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
genetics plays am important part.  I live for sugar products :)</description>

Re: actually...&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; Does anyone know of a calcium supplement for young children?  My youngest&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; (4), has refused milk and most dairy products since she was a baby.  ( She&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; wouldn&amp;#039;t even take formula after I quit nursing her)...now the dentist is&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; telling me thats why she has so many cavities.  I need to find something I&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; &amp;gt; can give her.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Her dentist should get a grip, the child probably needs flouride treatments&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
and vitamins with flouride.  Particularly if you live in an area that does&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
not treat its water and you have your own well.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Check with any dietician and they can give you a list of foods high in&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
calcium.  How about milkshakes and ice cream?</description>

greetings!&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
I have written a text file, called CHAKRA, and it is perhaps the best&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
SELF HEALING ritual you can perform. It involves only you and your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Although much of the process involves a self induced pentagram in your&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
sub-conscience, it is truely remarkable. It can, and WILL improve your&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
health, happiness, and inner strength.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Anyone who is interested in obtaining this remarkable, non-chemical&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
healing ritual, please let me know.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
It is derived from an ancient Egyptian ritual, used to confirm the faith&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
in the gods of the Earth; Fire, Air, Water, and Dirt.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;

I know that Alfa-con tablets which are made from alfalfa contain calcium but&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
i don&amp;#039;t know how likely it is that a young child would take them. Broccoli&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
gives calcium.  How about putting dried milk powder in her mashed potatoes?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Also, corn tortillas made with lime water are a good source of calcium. Try&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
giving her low fat corn chips made out of tortillas. She should instinctively&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
want SOMETHING which is good for her! even if it&amp;#039;s dry dog food.....which i&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
heard of some kids craving...it has bonemeal in it...&lt;br /&gt;&#13;

Thankyou for this information: I have come to be sceptical of many of the&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
drugs foisted upon us. I do take prescribed medications from time to time but&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
am always reading alternative methods to get healthier results.  Right now i&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
take a coated aspirin a day since having a heart attack july 10 plus a&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
vitamin E capsule, 2 bone and joint defense tablets from Barth&amp;#039;s catalog.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
These seem to truly help me with bone and joint stiffness and pain. My friend&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
took a natural healing class for 4 months and advised me to take 2 or 3&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
capsules of cayenne pepper a day with meals for lowering cholesterol and&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
keeping the heart on track. She said take one just before eating and it&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
shouldn&amp;#039;t bother you. i bought the empty capsules at the health food store&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
and fill them myself with cayenne pepper (about 70 heat units).&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
     i took a thalium treadmill test for my heart today and seemed to come&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
thru with flying colors! Oh, bye the bye, I gave up coffee and coffee mate&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
since caffiene can cause vascular spasms. I now drink Postum with some&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
soymilk powder in it and a little honey. I&amp;#039;m 62 years old. Good health to you!&lt;br /&gt;&#13;

   <title>Allergy Drugs Stimulate Tumor Growth</title>

&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
In the _Journal of the National Cancer Institute_, May 18, 1994 issue,&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
researchers at the Manitoba Institute for Cell Biology in Winniped,&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
reported that cancer tumors grew faster and larger in mice injected with&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
the common anti-allergy drugs loratadine, astemizole, and hydroxyzine.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
The FDA stated that they were concerned over this finding, but would not&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
stop people from using antihistamines.  Homeopaths have known for years&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
that antihistamines are one of the classes of drugs that produce&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
dysregulation systemically, and are not at all surprised to see that the&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
dysregulation can extend to the genome.</description>

From the medical journal _Pediatrics_, May 5th, 1994 issue:&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
A randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing homeopathic redicine&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
with placebo in the treatment of acute childhood diarrhea was conducted&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
in Leon, Nicaragua.  Eighty-one children were included in the trial.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
The treatment group had a statistically significant decrease in duration&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
of diarrhea and the number of stools per day.</description>

   <title>HOMEOPATHIC FUNCTION DOCUMENTED IN DOUBLE-BLIND</title>
   <description>From:    Tater Bug @3147 *1&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
To:      All @ *0&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Subject: HOMEOPATHIC FUNCTION DOCUMENTED IN DOUBLE-BLIND&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
The following is taken from Deepak Chopra, M.D.&amp;#039;s text _Quantum&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Healing_, pages 118-120 of the original hardbound edition:&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
The vast difference in scale between medicine and quantum physics safely&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
kept the two sciences on separate ground until 1987, when a French&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
immunologist, Jacques Benveniste, performed an experiment that is&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
outrageous to all nonquantum views of the world.  On the surfact, the&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
experiment becan innocuously.  Dr. Benveniste took a common human antibody&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
called IgE and exposed it to certain white cells in the blood called&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
basophils.  It is well known what happens when these two interact - the&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
IgE antibody clamps firmly to speciic receptor sites and waits.  What it&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
is waiting for is an invading molecule floating by in the bloodstream&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
that needs to be defended against.  In this case, the invader is not a&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
germ but an antigen, a substance that causes allergies.  (Lengthy&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
discussion of allergic response omitted to save space.)&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
This sets the stage for Dr. Benveniste&amp;#039;s experiment.  He took some human&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
blood serum full of white cells and IgE and mixed it with a solution&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
prepared from goat&amp;#039;s blood that was certain to trigger the release of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
histamine.  This second solution contained an anti-IgE antibody.  When&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
the IgE and the anti-IgE hit, the reaction in the test tube went off&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
exactly as it would in a person with a bad allergy, and large amounts of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
histamine were produced.  [Typist&amp;#039;s note:  No big deal so far - perfectly&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
normal immune system reaction.]&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Benveniste then diluted the anti-IgE tenfold and added it again - still&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
the same reaction.  He kept on diluting, time after time, and as&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
before, from 40 to 60 percent continued to react.  This was surprising,&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
because he was well past the limit where the solution should be&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
chemically active.  He diluted the anti-IgE even more, making it a&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
hundred times weaker each dilution, until he knew that there was no&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
anti-IgE at all.  His last dilution contained one part antibody to 10 to&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
the 120th power parts water; if written out, this number would be&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
expressed as 10 followed by 120 zeroes.  Using a constant called&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Avogadro&amp;#039;s number, he confirmed mathematically that it was impossible&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
for the water to contain a single molecule of antibody.  When he added&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
this &amp;quot;solution,&amp;quot; which was not just distilled water, the histamine&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
reaction was set off with the same power as before.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Although his result was, in medical terms, an absurdity, Benveniste&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
duplicated it seventy times, and asked other research teams to repeat it&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
in Israel, Canada, and Italy - all came up with the same result.  They&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
all discovered that you can trigger the immune system with an antibody&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
that isn&amp;#039;t there.  His results were reluctantly published in the June&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
1988 issue of the prestigious British journal _Nature_.  Its editors&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
frankly declared their repugnance at the result, stating quite rightly&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
that &amp;quot;there is no physical basis&amp;quot; for it.  The human white cells were&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
acting as if the anti-IgE was attaching them from everywhere when in&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
fact it was nowhere.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Medicine is reluctant to walk through the quantum door, even though this&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
experiment clearly opens it.  (Lengthy discussion of homeopathy omitted&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
to save space.)  In July 1988, a month after publishing his findings,&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
_Nature_ sent a team of investigators to France to view Benveniste&amp;#039;s&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
experiment and clear up their disbelief.  He was unable to consistently&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
duplicate his results in their presence; some trails worked flawlessly,&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
others didn&amp;#039;t.  Subsequently, _Nature_ repudiated his work, calling his&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
results a &amp;quot;delusion.&amp;quot;  A heated controversy arose that has not been&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
settled to date.  Benveniste still stands behind his work, and his&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
original paper has been signed by twelve other researchers in four&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
countries.  Since the ability of water to remember is inexplicable, its&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
ability to forget can hardly be held against it.  These may be two sides&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
of the same coin.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
(Typist&amp;#039;s note:  this last point is addressed admirably by Dean Black in&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
the opening 30 pages of his book _Fine Tuning_, which discusses in&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
detail the application of chaos theory to human health and health care.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
It reviews systems analysis views of mechanisms of health, and raises&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
the point that there are far more variables in play than we would like&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
to admit, including the expectations of experimenters.  Since many of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Dr. Chopra&amp;#039;s patients have experienced complete disappearance of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;quot;incurable&amp;quot; metastatic carcinoma after being trained in mental&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
techniques such as meditation, Chopra would certainly support the mind-&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
set of the patient as being one of the primary determining factors in&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
health care.  The understandings involved here make the failure some of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Dr. Benveniste&amp;#039;s experiments to replicate fully in the presence of hostile&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
observers quite understandable.  It also makes even more clear the fact&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
that most of the medical community - people like Dr. Chopra excepted - does&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
not grasp anywhere near all the mechanisms of experimental design.  The&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
scientific method and double-blind investigation are not refuted; it is&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
simply that we are only beginning to understand the mechanisms involved.)&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
(More typist&amp;#039;s note:  it&amp;#039;s an interesting perspective on the mentality of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
medical &amp;quot;science&amp;quot; in _this_ country, at least, to note that the discipline of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
homeopathic health care is the official state health care system of Belgium,&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
is practiced by 56% of the medical doctors in France, and is utilized&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
extensively by the British royal family.  God forbid that such should occur&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
here, not for the patient&amp;#039;s sake, mind you, but for the catastrophic loss of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
income, power, prestige, and job security that would occur in the medical&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
health care industry and the public found out that they have been &amp;quot;protected&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
from health care options which are far more effective, far less damaging, and&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
exponentially less expensive than current practice.  That would be as&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
horrible as letting chiropractors get away with healing people!)</description>

   <title>RE: MEASLES VACCINE AND I</title>

&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Re: RE: MEASLES VACCINE AND I&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; Catch 22:  When not taken, the human body has a helluva lot larger chance of&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; developing measles then when off the antibios.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; If there is an alternative cure for Measles, please post it here!  Not a&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; doctor, but I would like to know!  Until then, unfortunately, I have no&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; choice but to give the antitoxoid to my children to build the immunity.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&amp;gt; BTW, isn&amp;#039;t this a similar principle to homeopathy?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Actually your Catch 22 is not correct.  Much recent research clearly&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
demonstrates that antibiotics cause suppression of immune function, thereby&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
increasing opportunity for infection.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Antitoxoid is not an issue with measles.  The measles vaccine involves the&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
virus itself, just like the polio vaccine.  Toxoids and antitoxoids are an&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
issue with such problems as tetanus.  Tetanus is not a virus but a bacteria&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
which produces toxins.  The body is affected by the toxic byproduct of the&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
bacterial infection.  Antitoxoids are effective in preparing the body to&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
resist the effects of these toxins, but have nothing to do with protection&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
against contamination/infection.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Homeopathic preparations have served the same health care function&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
(biologically) as vaccines for 200 years, without the nasty side effects.  If&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
you wish to research this, check out European medical journals, since&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
homeopathy has been suppressed in this country for nearly 70 years.</description>
