Well, FUCK YOU.  YOU can BE GOD of your stupid herpes support FUCK off group.  You obviously have no compassion for people who are suffering…..you are sick, and love taking it out on people..and I’m not going to give you the opportunity to SHIT on me anymore. FUCK OFF, jerk-wad!

Dear xs: What an angry person you are!  I’ve read your posts, and if I remember correctly, you said you have children.  I wonder what they think about you. Someone that has a mouth like yours and uses such words in a posting, surely has to also use that kind of language in real life. I read your post re. your accident and am sorry you had to go through that experience.  Following a trauma as you experienced, you must have had many months of physical therapy.  It seems you need to spend as much time on the anger inside of you.  I think your brain was so badly affected that you have forgot how to communicate with maturity.  But then again, maybe you never knew how to communicate with maturity.   Get a grip xs. You are definitely not endearing yourself to anyone.  Know this…..if you want people to believe in what you preach (homeopathy), try to use big people’s words instead of foul language. I’ve always felt that people who use language such as yours, don’t have enough intelligence to think clearly.  You obviously wanted to get people’s attention.  Well, you have, but in a very negative way.  You have made me discount all you have preached.   Sincerely, Huginlady

Response:

<snip I just read an article this weekend in the Sunday Chronicle that MORE people receive  ’alternative’ types of treatment (acupuncture, homeopathy, etc.,), than receive traditional western medicine!  Not only that, but the ‘cure rate’ is much higher.

<snip If I read the same article, it was written by Tedd Mitchell, M.D. and his exact statement was "Americans make about 630 million visits to providers of non-traditional medicine each year  – that’s more than the number of visits to all primary-care physicians".  That statement is quite different than the slant you give it.  Since there are many other doctors other than ‘primary care’ docs, and also, if I go to a doc once and get my problem alleviated I wouldn’t go back for the same purpose. You’ve said yourself that "homeopathy takes time", so many office visits and consultations would probably be necessary.  And NOTHING is mentioned about "the ‘cure rate’ is much higher".  Nothing at all.  But again…I could have read another article.  The title of the one I read was "You can teach your old doc new tricks".  Same?  If not, please list the title and author of the article you’re referring to.  I’d like to read it. Hang in there -G

Response:

Dear Guy,

Whew! Finally found it (when I’m gone for awhile, my silly aol download thingy downloads all the posts but in reverse order–this post was at the bottom of all the posts this time). Would you be up for a real challenge?

My view of challenges is that they often speak more of the challenger than the one challenged, regardless of whether the challenged individual accepts or rejects the challenge. I have to admit that my ‘debating’ skills are weak, as although I am a highly intelligent person (and humble as well ;^)….I lack the kind of formal schooling which would help me get across to you certain ideas and facts regarding the subject of Homeopathy.

You lack the "debating" skills?  This isn’t really the place to debate things like this. You’ve been asked for proof of your "cure" statements. Please provide them. That’s all that’s necessary.  You don’t need to gather points to win a debate–just provide the sources that you read about these cures.  Not the rumors, or the words of others that ‘believe’…but the sources.  Surely, you as a "lay practitioner" of homeopathy aren’t practicing this ‘art’ on only faith that it works.  I’m not a "lay" anything, but when even my friend who’s spent almost 20 years treating STDs (herpes in particular–since that’s kinda her specialty) say something about something doing such and such, I ask her where I can read the study.  Normally, after about the 3rd request (she’s kinda busy), I get an email with the study particulars.  She KNOWS I’m gonna ask that tho, cause I don’t just take someone’s word for things like this.  That’s ALL that’s been requested of you.  Show us the research particulars that prove to you that homeopathy can cure these things. My challenge to you (and other unbeliever’s) is this: Spend one week (just 1) reading and posting questions to the Homeopathic online ‘list’ type forum.  Then, let’s talk again on alt.support.herpes. You must first sign up at the following link before posting to the list: Webpage of the Homeo Study Group – http://members.xoom.com/HomeoSG/ (Go directly to the bottom of the page where it says "Click to subscribe to homeosg".)

I’ll read some there.  Thanks. The Founder, Dr. Suriya Osman, is a highly respected member of the Homeopathic community.

But how is she considered by the world at large?  Because I’ve got bad news. Jim Jones was revered in his own organization.  Did you know that the head of the KKK is a "highly respected member" of that organization?  Just because someone is "highly respected" in their own organization doesn’t necessarily mean all the pistons are firing.  Although her approach to Homeopathy is similar to mine (highly intuitive), she also possesses a brilliant mind and all the necessary skills of a talented and well-versed, well-schooled, scholar.  She is just one of the many brilliant minds you will find posting to our little Homeopathic list.

You know, xs…I’ve gotta ask.  You’ve mentioned this "highly intuitive" thing a few times now.  Does that mean "without formal education, so I’m guessing", or what?  Have you been to a school to learn homeopathy or just read some books and some websites and treated yourself, 1, 2 or 3 or your ex hubbys and your 5 kids (since birth)? Hang in there -G

Response:

Spend one week (just 1) reading and posting questions to the Homeopathic

online ‘list’ type forum.  Then, let’s talk again on alt.support.herpes.< Well, it’s pretty obvious to me that the people who would answer questions on the above forum are people who subscribe to this type of thing.  It would be like asking a Ford dealer who makes the best truck….. Intelligence has nothing to do with it, and I don’t think anyone really wants to "debate" this topic…all everyone keeps asking for is some "proof,"  some medical studies, anything besides an opinion….. I can rub a potato on my warts and bury it in the ground (old wive’s tale!)…maybe the warts will go away, but they will go away eventually on their own….like hsv symptoms (NOT the virus!!!)  So what "cured" me, the potato or the nature of the virus?  There is no way to tell! I know of several "cures" for hiccups…sometimes they "work" sometimes not…..so what actually "cured" the hiccups…the sugar/glass of water/etc. or was your diaphragm just done spasming? And as far as immunity being a cure (someone else’s theory), that makes no sense either….how can you be cured of something you never got?  If you’re immune you’re immune.  Period. K

Response:

Of course everything you stated is complete speculation.   And to think that doctors are "afraid" of homeopathy because they fear they might "go out of style" is completely laughable.   Not even you could  possibly believe that. But then again, maybe you do. The basic lie in what you stated is that the homeopathic remedy is taken "in a very small, predetermined dosage".  There is actually NO active ingredient in homeopathic remedies. You can state your belief all you want, but unless you start making at least some rational sense, no one except the gullible and desperate will believe you.   The only reason there is not more outrage towards the homeopathic community, is that sugar pills, (which is what homeopathic remedies are), can’t hurt you.    The sad thing is when someone avoids a helpful medical treatment for an ailment, and wastes their time, (and money) on homeopathy. I would love to see those double-blind studies proving the effectiveness of homeopathic  remedies, (see challenge thread above), after all if homeopathy worked, it would prove itself just fine in that type of study. -Patrick P.S.  Your pattern of posting is becoming quite predictable: First you offer bogus advice about homeopathy and herpes, then you get defensive, without any proof or facts, and finally you flame and insult. BTW, here is a helpful working definition of insanity: "Insanity":  =  Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Sorry if this blows your little mind. xs Hi xs, Can you please fill me in on this homeopathy thing? I have no idea what it is as I am fairly new to this virus. Homeopathy is an ‘alternative’ way of treating herpes (and many other diseases).  It is ‘alternative’ to Allopathic, traditional western methods of healing.  It is based upon the theory that "like cures like".  If something is causing itching, then take (in a very small, predetermined dosage) something which will CAUSE itching, which neutralizes the itching (or disease). It is very safe and extremely effective.  Minute amounts of a ‘toxin’ (say poison oak) are mixed with sugar and shaken vigorously.  This shaking ‘vitalizes’ the remedy.  Then the mixture is divided in 1/2 and each half is again added to an equal amout of sugar (or other non-toxic substance). This ‘dividing, mixing and shaking’ determines the ’strength’ of the remedy. The remedy becomes STRONGER each time it is divided and shaken!  Thus the less there is of the original ‘toxin’, the more powerful the effect of the remedy.  This blows away most of the scientific-minded. There has been much experimentation and examination of *how* Homeopathy works.  You can find information about Homepathy on the net .  Just type in "Homeopathy" into your search engine….and check out the sites. The sites that "Patrick" has posted (here on the alt.support.herpes list) are sites which claim that Homepathy is either a ’sham’ or, even a ‘dangerous’ alternative.  This is simply not true.  When Homeopathy is employed by a Practitioner, it is safer far than traditional western medicine.  That is one reason *why* they are so afraid of Homepathy (most doctors)….they fear they will "go out of style"…and in fact this is true!  I just read an article this weekend in the Sunday Chronicle that MORE people receive  ’alternative’ types of treatment (acupuncture, homeopathy, etc.,), than receive traditional western medicine!  Not only that, but the ‘cure rate’ is much higher. Sweetie asked: Have you tried it, or know anyone who has? I have been using Homeopathy on myself and my children (all 5 of them) for over 20 years.  I am now a Lay Practitioner of Homeopathy.  I do not charge a ‘fee’ for my services – I am extremely proud to be a part of the Homepathic community.  By promoting Homeopathy, I feel I can best serve the people of our planet. And did it work?  Thanks for your help. Yes, it is an excellent method of medical treatment.  I have cured such ailments in myself (and others) such as: Cystitis (urinary tract infections), Poison Oak, Asthma, Food Poisoning, Pneumonia, Septicemia; even mental ailments such as Depressions and Mania can be effectively and gently treated and cured with this wonderful method!   It is gentle and sometimes requires patience (time) to complete the cure.  This disturbs most Americans, who do not know the first thing about patience!  That is why they want the "quick-cure" of Allopathic medicine. Homeopathic remedies are available at your local Natural Food Store.  See if you can find remedies made by "Boiron" (you can probably look them up on the net too – and NO I do not sell their products.  I am not ‘advertising’). They are always fresh and have been making remedies for many many years. If you are serious about taking a closer look into Homeopathy, please email find and direct you to a Professional Homeopath in your area of the world. Give it a try!  There is NOTHING to lose, and EVERYTHING to gain.  I have seen these tiny little remedies bring people back from the brink of death…and experienced this same phenomenon myself.  It is a very serious method of treatment.  It has been used for centuries by people everywhere in the world, to treat Malaria, Sepsis and even Tuberculosis!

Ah, but there IS a cure for herpes.  Always has been.  Always will be.

help you out. Oh, I already know to come to you, Yosh!

Hi you all! I have been lurking your boards and wanted to share my story. I  have had two laproscopies and one laparotomy in the past 7 years. Before my  last one I told the doctor that I was sooo tired and I couldn’t exercise and  this hurt and that hurt and there was only maybe 4 or 5 days out of the month  that I felt well. I was gaining weight due to inactivity and I always felt  like I had the flu. She did the lap and foung the endo on my bladder and  around the uterus. I thought great! Another 2 years of relief. Well the pain  was so severe after the surgery that I became very depressed. So the doctor  says your just going through a stressful time, here is a script for xanax.  Well I got crazy inside. That $%^ !!!!! How dare she ignore my pain. I  gave her specifics. My ankle joints, my knees, my elbows my bladder, my  irritable bowel, my flu like malaise and my severe abdominal cramps when I  ovulate and the week before  and during my period of unequivical hell. P.S. I  ended up in the hospital with a rapid heartbeat due to some reaction to a  parasite herb that I thought would help with the endo and they knew me by  name. I burst out crying and then they asked me all my symptoms. "Oh, you have  fibromyalgia, classis symptoms" I went to a rheumatologist and it turns out  that this is an autoimmune disease that is associated with endo. Why didn’t my  gyno know about it. Why did she choose to make me feel insane? The ignorance  of these doctors is incredible. They loop this fibro with chronic fatigue  syndrome, and they loop the cfd with gulf war syndrome.  If any of you have  any of the extra symptoms that I mentioned (also asthma, food sensitivites,  chemical sensitivities). Check out the fibro boards. You might be surprised.  And there are treatments, many. No cure, but treatments. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL. Star

Response:

Hello Star, No you are not alone on the endo/fibromyalgia merry-go-round. I had a hyst 8  months ago for endo. I still have trouble with endo. and now have been  diagnosed with fibro. as well. Not one doc. ever mentioned the connection  between the two. I had to figure that out myself. It comes from our hormones  being out of whack, a lack of restful sleep. Surgeries are also a common  trigger of fibromyalgia. I do post on the aol fibro boards. Lots of info.  there. We are not crazy. Crazy with pain yes. Mentally out of it….NO. I do  wish more docs would discuss the obvious connections and let us know that  having the two are a possibility and not let us flounder on our own. Take  care. Email me if you like. I am trying to get a good balance of meds and  supplements to get the fibro dragon tamed down. Getting the endo beast to back  off is another thing altogether. Take care. Peace, Birgit P.S. My fibro. doc said to avoid surgery….HAH!!!

Response:

Wow, this is weird. My mom figured I have fibromyalgia years ago but the docs I was seing at the time ruled it oout. Mind you, they never run any tests to make it certain. I have more or less constant pain in heelbones, knees, elbows, wrists (sometimes can’t get a frying pan of the stove) shoulders, muscleache, lower and upper backache. I have also noticed lately that some fabricsoftener that I have normally used now makes me itchy or give me thrushes. Same with showercreams. I had to stop using the one I had been using for years as mys skin would itch all day and my navel would have some liquid coming out of it and feel inflamed. I am tired 24 hours a day. Have headaches and even migraines. Slight physical work will make me feel worn out and I love to work out! I have been tested for thyroid, musclereumatism, arthritis and God knows what but all turned out negative. Allthough pain is getting worse, not just endo related cramps but all over my body. My hipjoints sometimes hurts so bad I can hardly walk. I’m 32 Years old and my body behave as if I’m 92. I’m too young for this and I ask myself daily what I have done to deserve this. Cheers, Tatti

Where is everybody?

Question:

I have to agree…I think that a news group for foster parents is a wonderful idea!  I know in my area I atend monthly training/support meetings but it would be nice to have an outlet to ask questions of others, to share experiences etc…sometimes being online and not face to face is a very good outlet.   I am new to AOL and interneting, but I would love to see this group succeed. BTW, I am currently the foster parent of TWO teenagers, 14 yr old girl and 12 yr old boy…

Response:

Do you know any foster parents in New Jersey.  We are really new to this and would like to be in touch with someone who understands the system. You sound like you have a tremendous amount of patients and love for choildren.  I can see how you would be burned out.  When do children ever have rights these days?  Karen

Response:

I agree with you and therefore thought I might share briefly our history as foster parents.  My husband, Kevin and I have been foster parents for over seven years and have had over 50 children live with us in that time.  We currently have five children living with us….three adopted, two foster entering permanency planning.  All of our kids are special needs children, both emotionally and physically, but aren’t most foster children these days?  Between just these five, we are constantly dealing with ADD/ADHD, compulsive obsessive disorder, attachment disorder, cancer, asthma, food allergies, ODD, just to name a few. I also serve as President of our local Foster Parent Association and talk with a lot of foster parents about "the system".  IMHO, it stinks!  It doesn’t work for the children’s best interests but for the parents’.  It gives them more than enough time to get their lives together and gives them many more chances when they don’t do it the first couple of chances! We are about done being foster parents because of the system and its effect on the children we’ve cared for.  We will still do emergency care and respite care, but foster care is not an option. We’d love to hear from other foster parents from around the USA and abroad about their experiences and stories.  Let’s make this newsgroup a supportive one…not a silent one! FOR THE CHILDREN….Deanna in Pennsylvania

In order for this to happen, people like yourselves are going to have to start sharing your stories.  I would begin, but I am not yet a foster parent.  If someone would share a story or a problem, I believe there would be response, and response, and response, and it would no longer be a "silent and lonely place."  Peace be with you.

Response:

I know where everybody is–we are in the mailing lists and bulliten boards.  They are full of help and support.  I only recently found this. The foster parent mailing list is excellent.

Response:

Hello all!  I don’t understand why more foster parents aren’t using this newsgroup.  I know that the lives of foster parents can imitate a roller coaster sometimes. . . . .and, when I first found out about this group, I thought it was such a neat idea.  A place where foster parents can come and bring their problems, their questions, their comments. . . and just sound off about anything at all.  But there aren’t ever any posts here.  Why?????
