Oh yes Pat, i had breast cancer. The book recommended by my doc is " THE ACID ALKALINE FOOD GUIDE" A quick reference to foods & their effect on pH levels. Dr. Susan E. Brown & Larry Trivieri, Jr. There are many books on the subject out there, however this is it, he says :)
thanks, me too. then i went to agency nsg for big bucks and experience and now i'm older and wiser and working homecare. i miss the comraderie of the units. linda rn
yes i have clicked on forum Pat, but like for instance how your response to my comment went straight to my page and its not visible as a continuous thread. i find the threads hard to follow because of this. Is there anyone else out there that is finding this?
I think we've found someone who could be an amazing homeopath to see living not too far from us. Panserbjorne on MDC gave her the thumbs up (she knows her) so I think we're going to try and see her. (Her name is Joette Calabrese, and here's her info if you want to check her out: http://homeopathyworks.net/bio.html )
So please don't worry about my last comment on here re: homeopathy.
I hope you are doing well, and that all has gone/is going as smoothly as possible with everything.
I LOVE the water kefir! It tastes delicious! The grains are multiplying really fast! I'm not having as much luck with the milk kefir grains though. I wonder if I did anything wrong. They're just not multiplying. Do you have any advice on that?
I've been thinking of getting a 2nd opinion on River's homeopathic treatment. We have one other 'classical homeopath' locally, but I'm finding it hard to find any info a/b him. I'd love to speak w/ someone I *know* others have felt was helpful. I was wondering if there was any possibility your homeopath does phone consults, and if she'd be willing to one w/ someone from NY. LMK what you think! Or if you know anyone who has someone to recommend in upstate NY...
Pat,
I wanted to come by this week to get some kefir grains from you, but I've been sick. I'm hoping to come by next week. I just wanted to let you know I'm still interested, just not feeling well.
>>>What I read about the Carbo Vegetabilis does sound appropriate for underlying GI issues. I'd feel comfortable taking that alone, along with the dietary changes and see how he continues to improve.<
Re-reading, I see what your recs. are Pat--thank you.
>>>And symptomatic treatment is such a Westernized perspective to be inseparable to comprehend an alternative way.<
Yes--he did not seem to care as much about all of the little details I shared with him that make up River--the idiosyncrasies you mentioned I share--which really bothered me. His psychology background may be where the allopathic mindset is coming from.
>>>Our homeopath trusts that homeopathy works without changing any other variables. <
This makes a lot of sense to me.
I think I'll make an appt. with someone else to get a 2nd opinion.
Ahhh--I'm so frustrated. Thank you so much for your input and for checking with your homeopath. Here is the homeopath's background: http://drpeechatt.webs.com/drPeechatt.html He's also a natauropath, so maybe that is where the other treatment is coming from?
So maybe I should find a different 'classical' homeopath? That is what he calls himself...I know we have a couple others in the area, but I don't know anything about them. I'm wondering if I should discontinue the treatments then--River slept all night last night again--which is not my goal at all, but something I've been surprised by and was *hoping* was a sign that his gut is healing...Arg! I'm not sure what is going on...
Thanks Pat--I've got lots to think about and look into!
He told me to continue daytime nursing, but to try nightweaning. I can see how they'd be getting less toxins in w/ less nursing if their getting it through our milk...I'm certainly not ready to think a/b weaning though (I will when River initiates it...), but I'm glad to hear that's not what *you* recommend.
River actually slept all night w/out waking to nurse last night, so maybe the homeopathic remedies + the diet changes are making changes in that way?? We'll see if it continues! I was shocked when I woke this morning to my still-sleeping little man! It's really not something I've cared about or felt needed to change, but if it happens (sleeping most of the night w/out waking to nurse) I'll be ok with it! ;)
Thank you for checking w/ your homeopath about the recs. I received--I'll keep you posted on our progress!!!
Pat,
I put a post up yesterday and haven't received any response. Maybe I put it in the wrong place. I put it under the candida heading because I couldn't find one for metal detox, and I also have candida issues. Should I put it under a different topic?
Julie :)

Here is my mini update after seeing the homeopath:

I didn't *love* him (personality wise), but I'm very hopeful that the treatments he's recommending will help River...
