Gosh Barb, what an inspiring post!  I've saved it to reread when
I need it.

Didi anyone see a news report SUnday night about drinking water?
 I didn't but a friend of mine told me about it.  Of course they
talked about things like drinking distilled water over a
prolonged period will kill/wash out all the good stuff in your
system, and that mineral spring water is the best thing to drink
(and after that, tap water, but I don't think I good joke mine
down - so much chlorine it's like drinking pool water), and then
it was stated that recent research has concluded that the human
body needs only 4 8oz. glasses of water/day to function
optimally: apparently they stated that any more than this is
detrimental.  Well, I drink an awful lot more than that -
usually around 96oz. or even a little more - to flush out
toxins, especially when I'm detoxing something.  This report I'm
sure is scaring alot of people.

ANy comments?

Dear Janet,

>From my research into thyroid disesase which has been rather
extensive 
due to
my mother-in-law having it to the point doctors scared her into 
thinking
she had only 6 months to live over 12 years ago.  The nodules
indicate 
infection as in Hashimoto's disease.  

First line of defense is fight off the hidden infection and the
nodules
should dissappear.  Other symtoms of graves disease can be
contolled 
with
diet.  For hypo you avoid goitrogens and with Graves you would
want 
them,
and these include all the members of the crucifer family. 
Cabbage 
juice
alone can stun the thyroid into underfunctioning.  

Learn where the points of the body are for the thyroid from
reflexology 
books
or accupresure books and rub these points religiously.
  
Remain calm and act on nothing out of panic and never, ever give
up and 
go
into hoplessness.  As for hypothyroids or those destoryed by
medicine
alternating hot and cold  packs over the thyroid all day long to

stimulate
blood flow and therefore more antibody activity to the area.  
Sleep in
magnetic collar.   take up qigong, I realize that this is not an
easy
quickfix, but getting well from many disorders has to become
like a 
career. 
It is just the way it is.  The quick fixes of drugs and surgery
lead to
long term problems that are harder to fix or nearly impossible
to fix 
or
reverse.  So consider all this time to heal self a longterm
investment 
in
yourself and your well-being, no whining about learning a lot of
new 
things
and having to work at them.  I was a basket case several years
ago, 
facing
living in an environmental medical unit or riskin a fatal asthma
attack 
if
I took off my filter mask.  I no longer need masks or inhalers
or air
filters or medicine on a dialy basis.  I still have asthma but 
know 
more
how to treat it than any MD and more than I ever did as
respiratory
therapist many years ago, and I will cure it totally when I get
time to 
get
NAET treatments, but it was a terrifying time when anything and 
everything
could trigger spells where I   could not breathe.  I hid in my
bedroom 
for
months and read up on allergies and the immune system and began
a 
jouney
that led me fully into the camp of alternative medicine.  But it
was a 
lot
of work and it is still a lot of work as I still have a lot of
problems 
not
yet resovlved and know way of knowing how I went from being a
healthy
athlete to a an ashtmatic, with fibromyalgia, arthritis,
sinusitis, 
with
apparent low thyroid and so on all almost over night and add in 
polycystic
ovary disease to boot.  And carpel tunnel and bone crippling
heel 
spurs,
and  myopia.  I have had a lot of problems to work on likely
that were
tirggered by environmental toxins I was exposed to when I was
ignroant 
of
the threat.  That led to low thyroid that led to
underfunctioning 
immune
system and other bad aspects of diet and I was a mess.  Now that
I am 
more
knowledgable I am slowly with daily intensive effort reversing
all 
these
problems.  I am even revesing what few visible signs of aging I
have
accrued.  My fine lines are reversing, and the HGH sutt is
helping,
Colloidal silver helped a lot in beating back a tendancy to
chronic
cystitis and frequent attacks of acute bronchitis.  Now I am
feeling 
and
starting to look 15 years younger, it is all a lot of work and 
discipline
but worth the effort.  I want to look as I did when I was 17 for

virtually
forever and I now know that is is possible, it  just takes work.
 LIke
maintaining a classic car, you gotta wash and wax em and tune em
a lot 
and
grease them and change the oil and belts.  ;Same with us.

TOo many take health for granted and think the body should run
on 
autopiolet
whle we abuse it for our pleasure.


Well enought of this rant.  But I am greatful that colloidal
silver 
existed
as it led me further downt the road of knowledge that I am on
and it 
led me
to meet nice and interesting people like all of you here, even
you 
grumpy
ones.
