I know a doctor who says you don't need to suffer from that.
Check out Dr. Joel Wallach or Dr. Glidden they get people off the kidney transplant list all the time.

I would research Dr.Robert Morse N.D. "Detox Miracle sourcebook" is really informative.

Update - the Pro hadn't come into the store where I was supposed to see it yet. They thought it was coming in last week, but alas, no go. Now they tell me end April *shakes fist* This is at Top Line in Westfield, NJ. I've added Thermador to my list, however, after visiting the store again. I kind of may take off KitchenAid and Electrolux because I do NOT want electronic controls. Also, now seriously re-thinking the need for dual fuel. After a long discussion with the sales team at the appliance store, I came to the conclusion that my style of cooking may not warrant having it. I tend to mostly cook on the stove top and almost never ever do any baking of things which would require convection, let alone the precise nature of the dual fuel. Running the extra electrical line could be problematic in the house I've purchased (nearly 100 years old) anyway - let alone the extra cost. And - get this - they also told me you don't really save all that much time in cooking with them. For instance, when making a turkey which would normally take 4 hours, it probably would come out in let's say 3 hours, 15 minutes BUT it takes 3x the time to warm the oven up, so you're really NOT saving much time there! Frankly, I'd rather have my oven heat up quicker on a daily basis since I hardly ever cook anything which takes that long!

Still Having a Very Rough Time...

I feel for you. We sometimes talk about what it would be like without the other. I don't know how I would handle it. We are close and do everything together. I can't imagine the loneliness one feels. I saw my dad live like that for 3 years after my mom passed. Other than times in the hospital is their later years they were together every minute of everyday for 66 years. He tried to hide it from us but we could see how lonely he was even with our huge family around. You never get over it, somehow it just gets easier and you are able to enjoy the memories with a smile instead of the heartache. I know it's easier said than done...but take some time for yourself. I'm glad your seeing a counselor.

Hi Bulldink, I've been wondering about you. I've been dialysing three months now and I'm feeling a lot better. Still have my ups and downs, but it's not as terrible as when I started. Hope your holidays are happy and you get to spend them with people you love! All the best from Jannie

Having trouble w eggplant seed germination
Q

At 70 degrees, germination may be delayed; I agree with Dan's recommendation of 80 degrees. That is the temperature I use... and even then, germination will vary, depending upon variety. If an increase in soil temperature fails to improve germination, then other possible causes are (1) non-sterile media, (2) over-watering, or (3) you were given bad seed. Number 3 is not an outside possibility, if the source was non-commercial. BTW, I gardened in San Diego for many years, in the 80's and 90's... I still miss being able to grow things year-round.

Bulldinkie, by now, you've discovered that this is NOT the forum for real medical information or help. I wish you the best, but this forum isn't the best place!

bulldinkie, I fully agree with sushipup, this is not the forum for "real medical help.

Please do not follow through with the above stated suggestions.

It is so difficult waiting for an available organ for a transplant, but the answer is not bogus medical ideas that could cause you serious harm that could/would prevent you from being able to have a kidney transplant.

Please talk to your doctor about how you are feeling and ask if there is some kind of support group that you can attend, professional help that can assist you in dealing with your emotions and what you are dealing with and feeling.

What ever you do, please follow sound medical advise not the bogus stuff that you are hearing here.

I wish you the best and good luck, this is not the place to seek some medical help.

If you have any organ failure is a symptom of and underlying problem and just changing the organ dose not fix the underlying problem.
The medical system is a failure but there are still people who will not recognise it.

>>Bulldinkie, by now, you've discovered that this is NOT the forum for real medical information or help.Why then you & littleonefb are still here?

I don't think any health forums on internet one can trust, each one of us still needs to research everything in detail.
Pretty sure, bulldinkie knows that too.

If I was on my last leg with no medical advancement, ..I surely would appreciate to read "any" information.

Good Luck bulldinkie!

Hi Bulldinkie
I totally get where you are coming from and it is hard to hear so many different stories. Of course, stay with your doctors but it doesnt hurt to hear others stories. A few years ago, my health was in a horrid spot and my medications were getting stronger and stronger and did look into alternative medicine and it has been great. I also empowered myself to learn about everything that surrounds my condition(s) and not just listen to do exactly as I was told by anyone - natural or not. It is amazing what the power of knowledge can do for you. I frequent a website and todays real life story was about a woman who has had kidney disease all her life. Most people who post their stories do engage in the comments and would probably communicate with you. I still use my doctors to monitor my bloodwork to make sure everything is good and yay, it is. There is no reason why you would have to dump conventional medicine if that is something you are not comfortable with. I do wish you luck as I know it very difficult looking to a bleak outlook. Another lady in GW helped me out with this too and I am honestly just trying to extend some info that has, what I think, altered my quality of life and am extremely grateful for it. I saw your post last week but had nothing to offer but given I came across that story today, I thought I would post it for you, in case you were interested.
