Guest guest Posted March 13, 2000 Report Share Posted March 13, 2000 Hi Josef, I just read about your daughter and her neurological problems. Have you ever heard of Dr. Upledger, D.O. and his work with Craniosacral Therapy? If you search on the internet for the Upledger Institute located in Florida, you may find some fascinating things. He has done, and the clinic there continues to do wonderful work and research with children and adults with a variety of neurological difficulties. There is also a European Institute, I don't know where it is, but I'm sure the web site could tell you.

I am searching for help for my daughter (age 12). I am trying to find opinions and informations how to improve health status of her. She has neurology problems from the birth - development delay, speech problems with hyperactivity. She had three epilepsy attacks last year. Neurologist say: there are no evident patological changes in the brain infrastructure. On the EEG there are no specific Epi-symptoms but the right hemisphere is more active then the left. With help of child neurologist knowing about holistic medicine (rare case in our country) we discontinued the using of chemo-medicine (Tegretol) and trying to use another methods. I have attended Shiatsu nad reflexology courses. I am using also Reiki, flower remedies for her. This with diet, mineral and vitamin supplements caused improving of health status. During 9 months she had only 1 seizure. If anybody could help me with advice or opinion I would be very happy. Many thanks. Josef P.S. I apologize for my poor english. Thanks.

Thus it is normal that your glucose levels go up toward morning, but ask your doctor if the early mroning level is too high.

She does not want me off the drugs she feels are good for me & her time is very limited (I go to a charity clinic) so I feel she is not the one to talk with. Yes, I realize there is a diurnal rhythm, but I also notice that wen I am not able to get a fell night's sleep my body ups the blood sugar to help me get functional. Likewise if room is chilly, my morning blood sugar is also a bit high. Again, I feel my body is releasing sugar to warm me up.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Interesting. I shall have to give it a try. I now wear socks to bed because of poor foot circulation & chilly feet. Makes sense.

Hi Alobar, try wearing 2 pair of socks, and putting a little cayenne pepper in the 2nd pair, and i mean a little. You can always add more if need be. Also, sprinkle some in your shoes etc. Regards, Dorothy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Thanks for the tip, Dorothy, but as I do not have much feeling in my feet, I am nervous about what you suggest. I struggled with a non-healing diabetic ulcer on my foot for over a year before it healed up & do not want to do anything which could cause more problems.
