Makingway...I am very interested in your post about hemp oil. I followed the link but couldn't find the nutritional info. What am I doing wrong? Would like to know more about hemp oil and its benefits.

From the main page you click on the 'Bulk Ingredients' list. Then on 'Carrier Oils'. Then click on the D-L page link. Scroll down the page and you'll see Hemp oil. To see the nutritional values you have to click on the 'Learn More' link. It's under where it reads Hemp Seed Oil, next to where it says 'Photo'. It's in another color of text, so it's easy to miss.

mimi999-ask your onco about phytoestrogens. Both of mine and my BS said to not take them. That even though they are a natural products that they make your body produce estrogen thus that is why they are marketed for menapause symtom relief. If you are ER+ this would not be good.
I had a hysterectomy (uterus only) 16 years ago. About 5 years ago my gyno started runinng the blood hormone test on me to be able to tell when I am going through menapause. My med onco also ran one along with all his bloodwork and said that he would do it yearly for the same reason. My docs have said that the hormone test will fluctuate bacause that is what our hormones do but they can still get a good idea what is going on with your body. I have never had a problem with my insurance paying for it. Have always had the blood test did not know they make a saliva test.

Claire: I add cinnamon, cardamon,ginger and raisons to my oatmeal and at the end just a bit of maple syrup and coconut oil. I also take a bag of frozen blueberries, heat them with a squeeze of lemon juice and grated rind, ginger & maple syrup and cook it till it's thick. Then I finish off the oatmeal with a scoop fo cooked berries and some slivered, toasted almonds. Heavenly!

Patty, Dr. Raschid is going to do a live chat for us, once we she can get some time! So is a doc I know who specializes in iodine and thyroid. He is going to do a webinair, and will cite some of the most recent research. If you have any questions, let me know and I will make a list and make sure those are answered first. We just got the live chat set up, it is at the bottom of the middle section. How about everyone join me on Friday at 9 pm central and we can give it a test run. It will be so much fun to chat with everyone!

Hi Friends~Do any of you have any knowledge of OSTADERM-V? It is a product a friend recommended to me when I mentioned dry skin, vaginal dryness, moodiness. It looks pretty natural and seems to be using bio-identicals...but I am very nervous about anything smacking of estrogen.

http://www.evitalhealth.com/Ostaderm_V.html

Urea is a form of formaldehyde and parabens are both known carcinogens.
That stuff looks toxic for sure.

Luna-Way to go Luna! LOL
MBJ-I only live 45 mintues from you. I'm tempted to show up for breakfast
Vivre-yep, those ingredients are suspect. I can't believe the stuff companies try to pass off as 'healthy'...

So much great information here-Thank you ladies! A friend from the UK sent me this article and I apologize for the length as I don't have the link:
how there could be a connection between root canals and bc?...how does pulling the tooth (ugh!) help?
"Cavitations are infected areas in bone surrounding the roots of teeth. They usually come from infected matter in root canalled teeth. When a [dentist] does root canal therapy (RCT) s/he sterilizes and fills the vertical pulp canal - about an inch long - and leaves infected the approximate 3 miles of dentinal tubules that cannot yet be treated....full of infection - that will continue to release toxins, viruses, etc. into the blood stream for the rest of your life....Infections from this source affects your entire immune system.... The infection exudes from the root to the supporting jaw-bone....I wrote the Forward to...George Meinig[‘s] _The Root Canal Cover-Up_" Jerry Mittelman, DDS, FAPM, Editor, Holistic Dental Digest; "For...our report `Can Root Canals Make You Sick?'" email jmittelman@nyc.rr.com and include your mailing address.
"I have had a number of patients with breast cancer, all of whom had root canals on the tooth related to the breast area on the associated energy meridian." John Diamond, M.D. (www.johndiamondmd.com) ("the reason being that dead teeth [which root canals are] will scatter toxins throughout the body, apparently following the meridian that they lie upon")
"infections persist for years without the patient's knowledge...toxins leak out and depress ...immune system....Weston Price...former Dir. of Research for the Am. Dental Assn. [14 years] [found] that if teeth that have had root canals are removed from patients suffering from kidney and heart disease, these diseases will resolve in most cases. Moreover, implanting these teeth in animals results in the animals developing the same kind of disease found in the person from whom the tooth was taken. Dr. Price found that toxins seeping out of the root canals can cause systemic diseases of the heart, kidney, uterus, and nervous and endocrine systems...research has demonstrated that 100 percent of all root canals result in residual infection" (_Alternative Medicine_, BurtonGoldberg.com, 1993, pp. 81-83).
"Dr. Price observed that angina pectoris, phlebitis, hypertension, heart block, anemia, and inflammation of the heart muscle are frequent side effects of root canal therapy....he would sometimes see heart patients with outwardly normal-appearing root canal teeth resolve most or all of their symptoms upon removal of those dead teeth [Hal A. Huggins, DDS, _The Price of Root Canals_, 1994]....research shows that dental infections are behind hardening of arteries, heart attacks, strokes, and spontaneous preterm births (Morton Walker, DPM [1999] _Elements of Danger: Protect Yourself Against the Hazards of Modern Dentistry_, Hampton Roads, p. 40).
"although her (root filled) tooth looked fine, [Price] advised this arthritic patient, to have it extracted...All dentists know that sometimes arthritis and other illnesses clear up if bad teeth are extracted. However, in this case, all of her teeth appeared in satisfactory condition and the one containing this root canal filling showed no evidence or symptoms of infection. Besides, it looked normal on x-ray pictures. Immediately after Dr. Price extracted the tooth he...embedded her tooth under the skin of a rabbit. In two days the rabbit developed the same kind of crippling arthritis...in ten days it died. The patient made a successful recovery...could then walk without a cane and could even do fine needlework....he repeated this procedure many hundreds of times. He later implanted only a portion of the tooth to see if that produced the same results. It did. He then dried the tooth, ground it into powder and injected a tiny bit into several rabbits. Same results, this time producing the same symptoms in multiple animals. Dr. Price eventually grew cultures of the bacteria and injected them into the animals...He put the solution containing the bacteria through a filter small enough to catch the bacteria. So when he injected the resulting liquid it was free of any infecting bacteria. Did the test animals develop the illness? Yes. The only explanation was that the liquid had to contain toxins from the bacteria....injecting half the animals with the toxin-containing liquid and half of them with the bacteria....the group injected with the toxins got sicker and died sooner....the rabbits [mostly] develop[ed] the same disease the patient had...Only occasionally did a rabbit develop a different disease -- and then the pathology would be quite similar, in a different location"
George E. Meinig, DDS, FACD, _Root Canal Cover Up: A Founder of the Association of Root Canal Specialists Discovers Evidence That Root Canals Damage Your Health_
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/11/16/why-you-should-avoid-root-canals-like-the-plague.aspx"I have never seen a healthy root canal; they all create disease in the body. Read `Root Canal Cover-Up Exposed' by [dentist] George Meinig. I teach dentists how to nurse an abscessed tooth back to health without doing root canals" Lee Cowden, M.D. (1 of the physicians I most respect), 8/3/10
Anecdotes:
"chronic headaches for 20+ years....5 root canals....She had them extracted...dentist had to open all the windows...The smell was of death....After they were removed...headaches were gone for good." www.notdoctors.com"I developed ovarian cancer six months after my first root canal....I cracked a tooth...infection in my gums. That led to a second root canal. My tumor marker immediately doubled, and tumors jumped in size, etc. Had the teeth extracted. The older one stank, and the second one had a cyst full of pus beneath it. Two months later, my tumor marker is dropping rapidly" RhodaMead@yahoo.com, 6/3/07

Re: the question of whether peanuts are safe:
I can understand avoiding peanuts, as peanuts have the possibility of harboring alfatoxins (mold). However, these alfatoxins also have the chance of occurring in grains, milks, tree nuts, and spices. The U.S. - although lax in other nutritional areas - has pretty high standards for avoiding alfatoxins. So I guess like anything else, you have to weigh out the good and bad....in this case, the possibility of alfatoxins vs. the certainty of nutrients. Everybody's got to choose their own food boundaries, I suppose

MBJ-Thanks for the post. Have you had any removed? Are we supposed to just deal with having no tooth were the root canal was? I have 2 crowns. One is covered in gold. Someone told me that was even worse! I don't think I can afford to get them removed
I have NO dental insurance. I still have the old mercury amalgams. I'd like to get them replaced also.Any suggestions?

Fairy - I called a local florist in Raleigh. They said it would be $21.44 to send one single rose. If anyone in interested call 1 800 447 5435. Great idea! You are so sweet and thoughtful

MBJ, I recently ordered the book you are talking about, Root Canal Cover Up. I had posted a couple of days ago, over on the fungal thread that I have had my root canal since I was about 12. Two years ago I had it capped because it had started to chip and break. One year later I was diagnosed. It's interesting that Makingway said she heard it was worse to cap them. I had never heard that before but that's when my fatigue all started...right after I had it capped.
Makingway, My biological dentist is going to pull mine. He offered 4 options: just leave the space empty, get an implant (I have opted out of this one as I dont want the metals involved), A bridge (he doesn't like this idea because he has to drill into the teeth on each side to fit it) and somewhat of a new concept-having an orthodontist move the two teeth behind it forward to fill the gap. Of course there is expense involved but even if I do nothing at all about the empty space, I'm looking forward to getting the tooth out!
Sdstarfish, I still eat most nuts but I have cut peanuts out of my diet because they have been found to contain mold. Molds/fungus put off lots of different mycotoxins, aflatoxin just happens to be the only one that the US has guidelines for.
Here are the USDA guidelines for aflatoxin-
20 ppb For corn and other grains intended for humans, immature animals (including
immature poultry) and for dairy animals, or when its destination is not
known;
20 ppb For animal feeds, other than corn or cottonseed meal;
100 ppb For corn and other grains intended for breeding beef cattle, breeding
swine, or mature poultry;
200 ppb For corn and other grains intended for finishing swine of 100 pounds or
greater;
300 ppb For corn and other grains intended for finishing (i.e., feedlot) beef cattle
and for cottonseed meal intended for beef cattle, swine or poultry.
The grains that are contaminated above 300 ppb are approved for making the alcohol we drink.(Beer, wine, liquor)
Consuming any of these products (peanuts, grains, corn/corn by-products, peanuts, alcohol, grain fed meat) on a regular basis results in a slow chronic poisoning so I try to steer clear of all these!

I had numerous infections during my reconstruction (ended up with 8 or 9 surgeries). My PS and I are convinced it was because of a root canal tooth that the 3 levels of dental docs all thought was fine or healing. After the "perfectly fine" tooth was removed...no more infections.
I posted several times about it on Natural Girls between Sept. 11 and Oct 1, 2010.
I also posted several times on Root Canals and Breast Cancer from Sept 2 to 11th, 2010.

makingway: Hi neighbor! I haven't any idea how they deal with replacement of teeth. I have been putting it off because I am only allowed to have so much work done thru MediCal, which doesn't allow for much. If you have insurance, MediCal is supposed to fill in the gaps in your insurance for women with BC and ovarian cancer. Dental insurance is pretty inexpensice. I have two gold crowns that have been there for over 30 years and many other crowns made with metal. I don't recall ever having a root canal until recently.

Luna5: I read about the connection when I was diagnosed but it seems my root canal was on the opposite side, unless I am remembering wrong.
I'mpositive: Thank you for the info on how they deal. Sure don't want to go around having people think I am a crack addict due to missing teeth, LOL!

MBJ - I had a root canal and it was also on the opposite side of the BC. The one and only thing I did was carry my phone in my bra.... Yikes. I know that was such a stupid thing to do but when I went to ball games or walking I didn't have any other place to put it. So, in the bra it went and that's exactly the spot of the BC. Has anyone else had this? It could be just a fluke but I'm not so sure that it was. Of course I did have other underlying hormone issues too.

samsue, I have thought a lot about cell phones. I never did carry mine in my bra, but if you think about it, if you are on the phone, you are pretty much holding over your breast. I have been thinking this could be one of the reasons so many more women are being diagnosed?
0 -
Wow, Samsue: Never really thought about the cell phone connection. There are so many things combined that could have caused mine, it's hard to say. I was in a auto accident and my injury is the same place where I had BC.

Wow, haven't thought about that in ages. My tumor was right where my chest hit the stick shift 28 years ago when a drunk driver hit us and rolled us down an abankment.
