Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Hi Cheryl, The NAET treatments I did were for several things but mainly my asthma and allergies . I had to travel over 2 hours to get to the practitioner. I went weekly ( sometimes twice a week, sometimes for double treatments)for almost 2 years, much to my DH 's bitter opposition.I finally had to say that was it. The price was going up and the practioner kept saying your going to finish soon but soon spread out over a year at the end.I think I saw some improvement at first , but after awhile I began to think it was all a mind thing. All the other patients that were being seen around the same time I was being treated, never seem to get finished either. Have you had any experience NAET? I don't know if I would go the expense again, if I had the money. FWIW,Rosanne > > > You mention that you recently did some NAET allergy treatments.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Hi Paul , Thanks for you kind response. And I don't mean to be insentive But--- been there done that. I take enzymes, I have taken very high doses of non-dairy acidophilus(I'm allergic to milk) for years for chronic yeast in years past. I haven't taken it lately maybe I need to start taking it again. And I have avoided antibiotics at all cost for the last 10 years.Several times I've gone on severe Candida diets for 9 months at a clip. I can not do that diet again.I'm always starving and start to slip under 100 pounds. I don't think I could handle that again. But you gave me some food for thought, so I will talk to my chiropractor about different kinds of enzymes,( if what I'm taking is good enough.)And cut back on sweet things in my diet. (However I have not had the symtoms of yeast lately, that I had in years past.) The Aciphex is a medication that a reg. Dr. precribed for the excess acid. I'd rather not take it but it's the only relief I get.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 Hi, Have you ever had your diaphragm tested? Some of the symptoms you describe sound like they could be caused from a birth defect in the diaphragm (i.e. rupture/hernia). This could also partially explain your Asthma. This condition can be tested with a simple x-ray of the chest area, or in a general gastroscopy. allay , " rosieann69 " <rosieann69> wrote: > Hi, > I've been luking for awhile ,I'm always reluctant to come out of the > woodwork when I sign on to a new group.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2002 Report Share Posted January 4, 2002 I have a similar problem and have been prescribed pantaprazole for life. It is good but expensive. I do forget to take it now and then and the problem reoccurs. My doctor told me that my asthma medications lead to loosening of the sphincter muscle at the opening of the stomach which has lead to the acid reflux and the scarring. Apart from the medication I was also advised to elevate the headside of the bed so that my head is elevated when I sleep. Helps. I never bothered about my condition and kept popping tums, other antaacids and renatidine until i read about gerd. Had an endoscopy and was advised high dose of antiobitoics to kill the bacteria (H Pyloric - they do a special test during endoscopy) that lives in acid - also damages stomach lining and pantaprazole. It is a serious matter and one needs to be careful and take all precautions. Well as usual I forgot to take my medication y'day and felt the acid coming up after having a good meal of pizza. Instead of taking the medication I squeezed some lemon juice in half glass of warm water, added salt and had that. I felt good and the acidity was gone. Thanks for that post. Sincerely, Varun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
