What is Wrong with My Daughter?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I've been a member of this group for quite a while, but admit I am

mostly a lurker. I am now hoping for some help from those with

holistic health knowledge.

My daughter, age 26, is located in Germany with her husband (Army).

Before she left the states she was diagnosed with a bi cornuate

uterus. She found this out because she was trying to get pregnant and

was having irregular periods. She also started developing a lot of

hair on her face and chest, and significant weight gain.

The Army doctors did blood and urine tests for irregular hormones and

thyroid, and all tests came back clear.

Since she has arrived in Germany (January 07), she has been to the

emergency room 4 times because her husband thought she was bleeding to

death (she will go a week where she can't even go out because her flow

is so heavy). Her periods last 3-4 weeks. She has now lost 40% of the

hair on her head, while continuing to grow it in all the places it

shouldn't grow on a woman. She works out every day at the gym or runs,

yet she gains 5-7 pounds a month. She eats no junk food, cut out all

excess sugar, and cooks from scratch.While as a teenager, she was

prone to breakouts, she now has to take two showers a day because she

says she is " dripping oil " and her face, chest, and back is suffering

severe acne. On top of that, while losing her hair, she also has small

sores on her head.

All tests were redone in Germany, and they can not figure out what is

wrong with her.

She is absolutely miserable, and it is beginning to take a toll not

only on her self image, but her marriage also.

If anyone could help guide us to where she could go for help, it would

be immensely appreciated. Conventional medicine is not helping.

Thank You for Listening,

Linda,

 

I'm so sorry for what your daughter is going through -- it sounds

miserable. I'll keep her in my thoughts.

 

Have they tested specifically for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)? That

sure seems like a possibility, based on her symptoms. Then again, you'd

think the doctors would have immediately tested for that and ruled it out.

They haven't found ANY abnormal hormone levels? Is she close to any

acupuncturists where she is? Even without a diagnosis, that may be a good

avenue for her to try.

Hi

I was just about to post this link for you when Susan replied with the

same thoughts!

Hope the doctors sort this out for your daughter. It must be a

worrying time for her not knowing whats going on with her own body.

My thoughts are with her.

And if they have ruled that out, suggest to them they should look at the

pituitary gland and the hypothalamus.

Wow, this is serious and I cannot believe that any of her tests are

coming back normal. Clearly there is a hormonal problem. I don't

know if she is still trying to get pregnant, but women with this

condition have frequent miscarraiges, accompanied by excess

bleeding.

She needs to see an endocrinologist for sure, and an OBGYN that will

work a bit more agressively to diagnose the problem. I assume they

have done ultrasounds and an MRI. I am surprised that no one has

suggested surgery.

Linda,

 

First off the tests that the Dr.s do have a range of " normal " if you fall

within that range they tell you, that you are alright. Now, If your

daughter is having such horrible periods and stuff such as that. I pray for

her. I suggest she go to an endocrinologist or a DO. Or a Compassionate GP

cause what it sounds like is they are not looking for subclinical diagnosis

of anything. Her normal maybe different than that accepted as normal for

the " world " I was subclinical hypothyroid for years. I gained weight when

I breathed. My problem was exacerbated by the ssri Effexor. It sounds like

she is in super crisis. If I were your daughter I'd go into the Dr.s office

and say. Look. There is something severely wrong with me and it's not

psychosomatic. Have them test for a pituitary tumor. That can sometimes

cause symptoms that look like hypothyroidism. Then she should have them

test for PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) That has the other symptoms...

Weight gain, hair growth on places she doesn't want. Then have them test

for Hyperaldosteronism. That causes hair loss on the head (male pattern

baldness, irregular periods, weight gain and hair loss..) Also, it sounds

as if she needs some iron replacement just from the amount of bloodloss

during her periods.

 

There are other things to test for other than Thyroid that can cause all of

these or any combination of these, also ask your family members if anyone

suffers from any and all of these symptoms. This may help. If she is

adopted, find her parents and ask them. If they aren't alive, petition for

their medical records based on her biological tie to them. There is a way

to find out what this is... And it may be frustrating to deal with Dr.s who

do not want to treat her and truly find out what is wrong, but she has to

stay with it. And tell her that I'm lighting a candle for her.

 

Also, you can type the symptoms that you described into one of the medical

search engines and see what it comes up with. I'll do some research on my

end and see if I can find out anything that might help.

[Guest guest]

Thank You Everyone for your thoughts and concern.

She has been tested for PCOS and thyroid, they came back negative. Her

OBGYN is having her check her temperature daily to see if she is

ovulating or not.

I have felt for a while now that it's hormones, but all the tests come

back normal.

I truly hope I did not offend members on this list with how graphic I

was. It was not my intention. It's just that I know there are so many

knowledgeable people here, and I feel I am at my wit's end.

Hi Linda! Coming out of lurkdom here to say that I'm so sorry to

hear about your daughters problem, and I'm sure being an army wife

in Germany only makes things more difficult--HOWEVER--she needs to

see an endocrinologist ASAP! There are some conditions that can

only be diagnosed by a good endocrinologist. She has a lot of

symptoms (although not all) of Cushings Disease, which is considered

to be a rare disease, but in actuality, Cushings occurs more often

than is documented, it's just VERY often misdiagnosed, and symptoms

are treated, rather than treating the one central cause of the

symptoms--Cushings, which means there is a tumor either in the

pituitary gland, or adrenal glands, pumping massive amounts of

cortisol thru the body, and cortisol does some serious damage to

every system in the body. It's not even that easy to find

information about Cushings Disease or Syndrome on the internet,

because it is more often diagnosed in dogs and horses, but if you

really look, there is some good information out there to get you

started in either ruling it out, or getting a correct diagnosis.

 

Pam in Gettysburg, PA, whose sister was cured of Cushings two years

ago!

[Guest guest]

I am also a lurker, but my heart strings were strung on this one. I

JUST wrote an article yesterday to a naturopath.

 

There are a few possibilities as far as treatment. What would have to

manifest either by accident or on purpose is her system would HAVE to

become alkalized and her endocrine system lifted. Now this sounds

easy and pat, however...

 

Although it is true that an acidic body is a sick body and a balance

MUST be acheived in order to ever have good health PERIOD, the reason

for almost ALL illness is the endocrine system.

 

You can have hormone levels show up normal because they are there,

but are not actually being converted. i.e. T4 to T3 for thyroid (ADD,

ADHD and ect., or DSEA being converted to estrogen, progesterone,

androgen ect.)

 

The vaccines she recieved going over to Germany did her no earthly

good either. Of which she had no choice. But she must clean those out

of herself now.

 

Talk about getting back to the basics here. I am a HUGE advocate of

eating clay and drinking clay water, and could give you several PhD's

and Masters degrees why. Yes, eat what you were made from! Perfectly

balanced with 70 minerals in the exact dose we need them, how

convenient huh?

 

Russia used french green clay when Cherinobyle melted down mixed in

chocolate bars for their people. This is why only 100 thousand people

got thyroid cancer with the complete nuclear plant melt down. They

also fed it to their animals.

 

Here it is used for horses and cows as it prevents scours and colic.

NASA used red dessert clay from Death Valley for their astronauts to

CURE and prevent osteoperosis. I will give you a site to pass on and

a little place to price out clay books on how to properly use it.

 

One of my favorite facts about clay is in a hospital study they used

clay water to wipe down one of 4 walls. That wall stayed STERILE (not

JUST cleaner) 3 days longer than any of the other three.

 

I have done a mini study on the uses of clay, roughly 800 hours. Soap

and soaking are awsome but by far not the only method of clay use. In

fact clay will draw out any venum, snake or otherwise. I use in on

bites and stinks all the time. Animals lay in it for this very

purpose and have for centuries. She needs this clay, there are

several places to buy online, but in Germany she should not find it

difficult to find any of the helpful bentonites. Sop up those toxins.

http://www.eytonsearth.org/purchase-buy-healing-

clay.php<http://www.eytonsearth.org/purchase-buy-healing-clay.php>

 

They even discuss the IMPORTANCE of using clay during pregnancy.

 

Wilderness family coconut oil for the endocrine. No other oils but

olive should be used to cook with. google this oil. Then google for

cheapest prices. The food grade type mountainroseherbs.com sells at

20.00 a gallon plus shipping tastes like coconuts. They have one that

does not. Let her know how important this particular item is!

http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/virgin_coconut_oil_centrifuged

..htm

 

*****Towards the bottom of that page in the left hand column there

are raw glandualrs listed of which she can use AFTER the homeopathic

pellets.

 

Don't stop reading there, google, google and more googling on coconut

oil! Make sure to stress the importance of this food. I was so

shocked when I went to my homeopathic vet two months ago and he

recommended it for my animals, which I already used for them! It is

anti fungal, anti viral, anti bacterial and helps the thyroid, heart

and on and on. It lowers cholesterole so do not be fooled by the fact

that it looks like lard. You get NRG from it immediately 100 percent

pure protien the body DOES NOT recognize it as fat.

 

She needs to look into liver/gall bladder flush, and make sure to

squeeze/flush her LIVE-r a few times like you would a dirty sponge.

This will bring the relief her stressed liver needs since it has

tryied to pick up the slack for every other gland that is not working

at the moment. It will also kick start the pituitary gland the MASTER

gland of the endocrine system. The liver and the pituitary work hand

in hand.

 

http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/liver/default.asp

several flushes to choose from, some better than others. I recommend

 

At the same time look into this company for homeopathy.

http://www.elixirs.com/prodSearch.cfm?

ProductName= & ProductCategory=Glandular+Support

Contact these people for help in using the product properly. I got

astounding results very quickly.

Tell her to use the first aid method first and then maintance. Use

lower dose to stimulate for a few weeks then a higher to support.

When she is supporting with homeopathy then she can use food, herbs

and vitamins that also lift the endocrine system. Like avacado, gotu

kula, ashagadwa, aspargilus, goji berries...

 

The homeopathic multiple glandular is best, shouldn't do one gland at

a time, along with the DSEA. These are not hormones, they are ENERGEY

from. Later she can work one gland at a time.

 

Medico tests are hardly ever accurate for hormones or thyroid. Hair

loss is thyroid/adrenal. Irregualr periods thyroid. I could go on and

on with every illness out there but you can see where this is going.

The edocrine and the nervous system run and rule the body. They work

together when the body IS NOT acidic. The liver picks up the slack,

even for sugar troubles the precious LIVE-r tries.Edocrine disrupters

are...

 

Chlorine, breathing shower mist, pools, bathing, paper plates,

bleaching laundry actually soaks through your skin. Use food grade

peroxide instead. Filter out chlorine ANY way you can including and

ESPECIALLY the shower. Germany does not use chlorine, no country is

stupid enough to except this one.

Pesticides.

Plastics are a huge disrupter and we even get this in our water and

meat when " they " drink the water.

google endocrine disrupters.....

http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/qendoc.asp

 

Sources of hormone are tap water (urine recycled from sewage plants

of women taking hormones and butchers flushing animal (cow, pigs ect)

blood and ect down the drain, dumping into lakes and rivers. We can

not effectively remove hormones from water, so it is the next big

gov't chore. In the meantime buy a glass distiller.

Lots of hormones also in white flour, meat, eggs, milk. She will have

to again google " avoiding hormones " for example for a better more

refined list.

 

Google a nice acid/alkaline balancing chart like this one.

http://www.chimachine4u.com/AA.html

Bottom line is to BALANCE alkalinity. Hard but wayyy possible and way

worth it. To see arthritic pain leave forever is HUGE.

 

Grains are terribly acidic and not healthy to eat for any human or

animal unless sprouted first. Here is a good meat source for those of

us state side. eatwild.com

 

Any and all animal protein is acidic EXCEPT raw organic eggs and raw

goats milk, these are alkaline. Raw Goats cheese here we come!

 

Nuts are acidic unless sprouted which is why sprouted almond milk is

so common. Rice milk, soy milk and ect are all acidic. Have to cut

corners and alkalize when and where you can to leave room for meat on

that balanced dinner plate.

 

There is one site out there was called Summers that sells sprouted

flours. Health food stores sell sprouted noodles and breads already

if you can afford to buy these things. Here you go!!!

http://www.creatingheaven.net/chmenu.html

 

I know you want to help her. I do too any way I can and I do not even

know her. But in the years I have learned sometimes people just want

what appears to be the quick fix as each disease comes up for them

for the lack of getting to the root. Sometimes too people just like

treating symptom as hard as that is to hear.

 

There is so much that she can do to help undo the damage she has done

to herself. But in order for her to do that she will have to take

responsibility and " invest " in herself, for herself. Research, money,

time...we can not do it for them any more than we can an alcoholic.

Sometimes people just do not want to invest, or will only invest

until it gets slightly better, or will only do things if " others "

invest for them, and sadly they tell us they want to get better

because it is what " we " want to hear. We must remember, that is THEIR

choice and we all have one, but for her there is hope and help if she

wants it.

Linda,

Two things will slow the flow VERY quickly. Coconut oil and lemon,

fresh squeezed. I have had to give it straight before. This is just a

quick fix. Quick fixes are not good because they are easier to do than

changing the real problems, but in this case!

If she can handle eating the oil off the spoon which I believe they

call dobblers, that's great. For some CO can cause gas, although not

griping, and for some it can cause diarrhea. 4 Tablespoons of coconut

oil is recommended a day. Our hearts and bodies need absolutley 2

tablespoons of medium or long chain fatty acids a day (fat free is

killing us). So tell her to start with 2 and work up to 4. Some (like

my neighbor) uses much more a day than that, but they have bigger heart

issues and need more. It WILL slow bleeding fast and gets right on

lifting the thyroid. It will even make those who run cold (thyroid)

warm. ;-D Simply awsome stuff. The health beni's are too long to list.

I am going to find out how to make a liquid soap out of it for my dogs

and us.

I swear it sounds like an underactive thyroid. I had bleeding problems like

that when I was a teenager trying to go to school.

What is Wrong with My Daughter?

 

 

 

Hi Everyone,

I've been a member of this group for quite a while, but admit I am

mostly a lurker. I am now hoping for some help from those with

holistic health knowledge.

My daughter, age 26, is located in Germany with her husband (Army).

Before she left the states she was diagnosed with a bi cornuate

uterus. She found this out because she was trying to get pregnant and

was having irregular periods. She also started developing a lot of

hair on her face and chest, and significant weight gain.

The Army doctors did blood and urine tests for irregular hormones and

thyroid, and all tests came back clear.

Since she has arrived in Germany (January 07), she has been to the

emergency room 4 times because her husband thought she was bleeding to

death (she will go a week where she can't even go out because her flow

is so heavy). Her periods last 3-4 weeks. She has now lost 40% of the

hair on her head, while continuing to grow it in all the places it

shouldn't grow on a woman. She works out every day at the gym or runs,

yet she gains 5-7 pounds a month. She eats no junk food, cut out all

excess sugar, and cooks from scratch.While as a teenager, she was

prone to breakouts, she now has to take two showers a day because she

says she is " dripping oil " and her face, chest, and back is suffering

severe acne. On top of that, while losing her hair, she also has small

sores on her head.

All tests were redone in Germany, and they can not figure out what is

wrong with her.

She is absolutely miserable, and it is beginning to take a toll not

only on her self image, but her marriage also.

If anyone could help guide us to where she could go for help, it would

be immensely appreciated. Conventional medicine is not helping.

Thank You for Listening,

Linda P

I can't help but think that their could be something wrong with the glands

themselves. Has anyone took any type of picture of them or done anything to look

at those glands. The hypothelmus is the control center for the pituitary gland

and is our link between the endocrine system and the nervous system which tells

the other glands what the body needs. I am curious to know if there is a

malfunction in the glands themselves. Maybe one is too small or is damage

someone. I would also tell her to find civilian doctors because some military

docs aren't all that great. Has she tried any type of Lymph massage or any

alternative ways to stop this. What is she eating exactly? Did this start here

in the USA or did it start elsewhere? Was she exposed to something we don't know

about?

I'm at a loss medically and as someone mentioned, you might want to

venture away from the military doctors because they can be pretty

lame. Also, I want to strongly suggest that she find a Reiki

practitioner and that IN ADDITION to whatevery they find medically that

will help her, but since they don't know at the moment, it wouldn't

hurt to get some Reiki treatments twice a week to help balance her

out. It sounds hormonal and any herbal or homeopathic treatments that

would help to bring her hormones back into balance will help also.

 

Send her healing vibes.

Linda,

 

I have no advice for you or your daughter just prayers and good wishes. No

you were not too graphic, you were just telling us the information you had

because you have no real diagnosis or treatments yet and you are at your

wits end and you are asking for help. Basically all you were doing was

giving people the information they would be asking for.

 

Blessings,

Gosh Linda that sounds absolutely horrible. Has she only seen the

military doctors? I am an ex military wife and never liked the

military doctors they didnt seem as knowledgeable. Has she been

checked for endometriosis and polyps, has she had ultrasounds done?

Has she considered having (i dont know the proper name) her uterus

cauterized partially to decrease the flow? It is a new type of

treatment for women with excessive periods but I dont know how it

affects having children. Has she been referred to a specialist? Has

she had allergy tests done? Has she detoxified her liver, kidneys

etc? Just trying to think of all the possibilities i can. She will

be in my prayers.

?? Most of the answers were my advice - a good endocrinologist & keep searching

for a dr that has answers - there is one out there.? My son was lucky that the

first radiologist came up with his rare bone disease (only about 150,000 cases

reported) otherwise there is no telling what diagnosis or treatement he would be

receiving right now.? Please keep us informed on how she is doing.
