I have been very impressed with my ionic foot bath, with quantifiable results. I was wearing a compression garment on my neck and chin for lymphedema after 2 surgeries for thyroid cancer that had spread to lymph nodes up to my jaw. After the first session with the foot bath the compression garment was loose on my neck for the first time - all the fluid started draining from my neck - and then it got tighter and tighter as it drained from my face down to the neck area. It is the only thing that has gotten the lymph fluid to drain, including an hour of manual self lymph drainage massage ...

I don’t know about therapain - but Traumeel works great (a homeopathic cream). I get it at the health food store. The other thing I use for pain is a Qi Gong Machine - it puts out random low-frequency sound waves. I don’t see the one I bought on the internet now, but there are lots of them out there. Even my husband is impressed with how it reduces pain, and he’s not into any of the new age stuff. He was pretty surprised that it actually works. I’ve used it for 10 years or so.   [End]

I just loaded up on Candida-causing foods for 3 days before doing a stool test, so there would be lots of stuff for them to look at. I had wine, ice cream and sugar cereal with milk.

Are you lying on your left side, and taking 15 minutes or so to get all the coffee in there? The cramps can happen if you let it in too fast. I open the clamp and count to 5, then wait until I’m sure that’s settled before letting a little more out. I have read that you’re only trying to get the coffee to the sigmoid colon, where the hemorrhoidal vein makes a closed circulatory system to your liver.   [End]

I paid $2,000 for my ionic foot bath, because I was so impressed after one session at a friend’s house. I was 4 months in wearing a compression garment on my neck and chin (with a 2-inch band over the top of my head) for lymphedema after they removed lots of lymph nodes going up to my jaw, that were calcified from thyroid cancer. My first feeling after the session was of being lighter - and other friends have said that too. Maybe because heavy metals are being drawn out? On my hour drive back up the mountain after the session, the compression garment was really loose on my neck for t ...

I’m not an expert by any means - you can get an ozonator from Dr. Katz for $150 - http://www.therabreath.com/productdetail.asp?cat=7&pid=128. I got a medical grade one because I wanted to put the ozone in a steam sauna as well as in water. You don’t add salt, and the distilled water should be cold (kept in the refrigerator). The ozone only lasts for 20 minutes or so. Mine came with a 1/2 gallon bottle with a charcoal filter. You ozonate the water for 20 - 30 minutes.   [End]

I’ve been going through menopause and bad night sweats for over 10 years now. A saliva test (while I was using biodentical hormones in a cream form) showed my estrogen was way too high, at cancer-causing levels.

I wish I’d thought of that when I was going through the staph infection. I did use ozonated water compresses to stop a shingles outbreak, after it had broken out 3 times in 3 months. And in addition to stopping the blisters from breaking out, it also stopped the pain in the nerve below a rib that was residual from the shingles infection. That was 2 weeks ago - and the skin went from ready to turn into blisters back to healthy skin, and the pain hasn’t come back.   [End]

My Dr. thinks the saliva test is much better than blood for estrogen/progesterone. The lab sends back your hormone levels and the estrogen to progesterone ratio and what they should be.

Any time a change is made to your hormones, do another saliva test in a month or 2. I got the saliva test from the compounding pharmacy where my biodentical hormones are made.   [End]
