Dear all,

If you are like me who use a neti pot to try to guard against cold and flu viruses the natural way, i read this artilcle today and it totally freaked me out. I am sure the studies will reveal more later on but for now, i am not going to be using my neti pot with tab water!!

Hi ladies

Its been hard to reply since work and life has just been so busy for me lately. 

Hi everyone,

What do you think is best to buy - organic (which may have plenty of accrued air miles) or local (fresh, eg, veg) produce which is not organic? What do you do?

What is the deadline for holiday herb orders from BoMa Med?  I saw it posted on BoMa Herbs a few weeks ago.  Today, I didn't see the holiday order deadline.  Thanks :o)

For a while, I have been having a pulsating heartbeat sensation in my vagina just as I almost get to sleep. I also jerk when I go to sleep. At times the pulsating feeling has moved around and been less strong, like in my stomach. Last night, it was in my bladder. Just as I tried to go to sleep, I would feel a heartbeat there that made me feel awful, like if it stayed on permanently, it would feel like a terrible bladder infection. I also seemed to be having a bad flair last night but I hadn't eaten anything different.

I started my treatment with Matia on 09/15/2011. Now I am just past my 3 months into treatment. I want to post my status because when I first started I always wanted to know from other patients, how long it takes to start feeling better.

So here is how I am doing…

In 3 months, I cannot believe how much I have changed physically, emotionally, and how educated I have become in regards to chemicals, food processing, the gut, etc…

I seem to be having less peeing problems now, for the most part, and more indigestion or IBS problems. The pain is digestive related but it is felt where the bladder is. I used to feel more pressure/burning here. But then I realized the pressure/ burning was digestive. Now it seems like, or today, it seems like  I can tell more that it is digestive and that it will subside as the food moves through. I wonder if this is a good sign or one that I'm about to start experiencing more pain.

I am having such a hard time not freaking out about my hair. I don't think I have been this scared in all of treatment. My hair is just falling out in the front but it is so bad. It is not really breaking off but it just fell out and it is gone. I know Matia says it will grow back but I really do wonder.  It is starting to get very noticable.  I am wondering if I should get hair extentions in the front and then cut bangs. I have started eating so many vegtables and a wide variety to get as many nutrients in as I can.  I am freaking out! It is so crazy to me that it is happening.

I also wanted to ask if any of you had taken Cipro right before your symptoms started? I believe that it induced my panic attacks, or contributed to them greatly, before my initial symptoms.
