N.D. - Naturopathic Doctor

Did your "arthritis" appear about the same time you had fillings placed?  RA is the first thing "they" thought I had (age 16).  Glad yours is gone!  Did you do something else to help yourself, or was it strictly mind-over-matter?

Some people have a mouth full of amalgams and seem to be fine.  I did have other mercury sources (mining pollution, toxic fish) but also am just one of those people who are super sensitive to the substance.  Other factors I consider relevant are:
no colostrum as a baby
poor diet through childhood
extreme psychological abuse through childhood

All of which means my immune system was challenged from day one.

More like fear over matter.  I was just too plain scared to hang on to any illness like that.  And no, the fillings far preceeded the arthritis.  Didn't go for menstrual cramps or morning sickness either.  All that stuff is just too neurotic and I didn't have time for it.  I like feeling good, and if it's anything my mind can control, (and I do believe there are things that are not all in your mind,) I will put effort into eliminating the illness.

The psychological abuse was probably the worst thing of all the things you mentioned.  Depression will absolutely weaken the immune system.  And even in animals.  I've seen dogs grieve to death after the loss of their master.  I had a cat that adopted another cat -- and he was neutered too.  Anyway, he and his buddy were inseperable until she got hit by a car and died.  He hardly ate after that, became ill, and in less than a month he was dead too. The mind is a powerful organ.

I too believe most illness originates in the mind.  I think it's fantastic that you were able to pick up and hold your own reins.

Having worked with animals quite a bit, I've seen the effects of depression on them.  Most of them respond well to some extra TLC.

I think it's safe to say that this would apply to the "human animal" as well.

I find that both are benefitial. Giving TLC and receiving. Especially with a PYT. (Sorry, just a little Michael Jackson.)

Hmmm.  I think Michael may have a different concept of PYT -- at least I hope so.

T.L.C. (tender loving care) P.Y.T. (pretty young thing)....It's an old M.J. song. You know, before he was a white woman. You're right, PYT may have a whole new meaning with him now. Hehehe

I once saw a doctor that insisted that I become more "active" because my prostate was enlarged. I was married at the time and sex was very seldom (bad marriage) and I was always just too busy to take care of myself. My question is.... If there is not enough ejaculation in a span of time, do the testicles back up and into the prostate? Why was this diagnosis made on me? I'm only 32 and shouldn't have an enlarged prostate. Could there be another reason?



There are three types of enlargement of the prostrate.
One is due to congestion due to insufficient sex.
The other is due to changes in hormones as men age.
The third is due to a cancerous growth.

You seem to fall into the first category.
Actually, the doctor should have used the term congestion instead of enlargement.
