4/26/2016 6:47:14 PM | Hi all - this is Lady T here and I wanted to chime in on this momma thread- I have read most of the comments in this thread - but apologize if I repeat anything! First - as a mom who nursed (not with MD - but years ago) - I also believe we nurse to give more than nurtrients to our babes - it is (as noted by those in comments below) for attachment, immune function, relaxation, comfort, psychological development - etc. - and we can bond and do much of this with bottles - but I think the research is very clear that breast is best. Breastfeeding also helps the mom's uterus shrink back down and many believe is important for the momma in so many ways (yes - we know that - but helps to remember) and it helps with mom hormones etc. I also agree with JohnB about formula - there have been recalls we never hear about and some is made in China- and well - I "did" use some formula in the 90s - but thankfully not too much. So if you need to - first do your homework on the brand you choose - I also like the point Mel made about those moms with AIDS not having enough to feed offspring - makes sense - plus - I have learned so much about AIDS in my own study of MD and feel we have the viral and fungal sludge similar to those with AIDS - but MD also has the six insects and various nematodes (or body bugs and worms) - yuck! So it is different but similar and hopefully in time MD will be recognized - remember AIDS and Lynme were dismissed for years..... And the pill "cocktail" that AIDS patients take includes a big amount of viral inhibitors - which I find very interesting - and when I learned about that - I started taking L- lysine every day! I also got away from taking this trio amino acid - (orthinine, arginine and lysine) because I think the arginine brought out vital stuff in a not helpful way (sometimes bringing stuff out is a good purge and we herx - and so in those times it is good - but this trio amino acid was bad for me - I could tell!) and so when I realized logos thymic formula had the perfect blend of these amino acids - (and more) I "rested" back into the protocol and only took L-lysine every day (still do take it - and I rotate brands for this). Another reason why I like the Mel's protocol is because my brain started to "hurt" manipulating my own protocol and so trust me it is worth the moola folks. Okay - back to the mom mode stuff! So if it was me - I would nurse for sure. That experience was priceless for me. But back in the 90s I only nursed my second son under a year because I went back to work full-time - and he is robust and strong. I also soon stopped working full time and for many many years we read at night for at least an hour - or up two! So lots of bonding and chill time - among other things. I am glad I did not have MD back then - but I would have been strong if I did! So I ended up having MD when one son was at college and one in HS (was not as tough as a nursing mom - so hang in there) A quick personal story - before I got sick I used to rub my teen son's feet sometimes - he is a strong athlete and sometimes it would help recovery - Years ago -'I actually got library videos and know how to give good massages - also have gotten many and just enjoy giving and getting them! We even have a real massage table (got it for 150$) So that is what I missed so much with my athletic son - that touch with the teen- even tho my other son (college) never liked foot rubs- so anyhow - it was in my second year of MD when I gave my son his first foot and calf rub (my hubs will also do this for him and so it was nice to have that) it was pretty awesome to do that again! I cleaned hands real good and just prayed and prayed i was not contagious! But I honestly think he would have already had it if he was going to get it! He has no fungal stuff in his gut and has a strong well-developed immune system - which is why I think h never got it! Ok- so I would suggest that nursing moms drink kefir for their probiotics - but if it were me - I would take the full protocol - probiotics and all - and then nurse away - I would feel like my body was filtering as needed but I would NOT take chaparral and red clover or other things - but the wellness kit (in my very humble opinion) would be a-ok! I think Mel's protocol is mild and ever so balanced - and it works slowly, but effectively. Really - can't say this enough - but the formulas with each logos item has been well designed. Like the herb most folks take for liver support is "milk thistle" - which is great for liver - right? But it actually works better with other herbs combined!! and my favorite herbalists always suggess an herbal blend for liver formulas - and I think I logos has this great bio available formula that does way more than plain milk thistle ever could (natures way has a top rated thislyn formula, but like logos more) Each logos item has this "balance blend" going for it. Another side note - when I was in a tough phase of MD - and believe me when I say I lived the nightmare days and the parched phases - whew) Well this one week, I actually felt like MD micro stuff was moving through my milk channels! One day - I felt all this stuff in the breasts - so similar to when milk would come in- and I had not felt that since 90s - and I was pissed cos now the critters were just invading my entire body! But that was stopped and wellness came! ;) In closing, be sure to read, read, read - as Mel always says - I know it is hard with kids and Brain fog and being sick and all this - but make time (find a way) to scour and soak up info! You see - when I did this - I read with meals and at night and here and there - read snippets whenever I could - I got SO encouraged ! - but I also ended up gleaning things I used later! Things I did not know I would use - some stuff was added in my mental storehouse that became a resource! For example - I read that one momma had her daughter taking half (or a bit less) of the Mel's protocol - and it was healing her! And when it came time for the MMS- the mom here would add pure grape juice (I think) and then taught the daughter this saying "don't think just drink" - and it would help the little girl get it down! I told my hubs about this and sometimes when he would see me taking my pool water - um I mean my mms for the day - ha! Which is now in two servings - but my hubs would tease and say "don't think, just drink" "don't think just drink" and we'd smile! So do you see? I never would have known I needed that resource - but because I was skimming and reading - i was more empowered! So while it is nice to ask questions and start threads here - it is CRUCIAL to read back posts- and not just on your main topics! Ok - hope everyone is having a nice week so far! I know I have posted a lot this month and I will be taking a break when April ends - but I promise to start my own thread first! For sure! In the meantime - I pray for everyone reading right now! I pray for all to be encouraged and to stay stable! This is a whacko affliction and it gets even worse when the medical community misdiagnoses as delusional - argh! one mom in this thread said she was scared cos they did not have health insurance - well it might be to your advantage to "not" because the mainstream healthcare does NOT know how to treat this - and in my humble opinion allopathic care is not helpful for chronic diseases and illnesses like this because they are taught to treat and manage symptoms! They are not taught to get at root causes! But Mel's protocol is designed to eradicate the root causes by ridding and rebuilding! If I could start all over again from day 1 - I would have used my faithful sonnes #7 and the super colon cleanse from health plus inc (not if I was nursing - in that case - I would have used Yerba prima fiber with sonnes clay) and that would have gently helped RID the body of gunk and then I would have taken logos wellness kit with it right from day 1! However - -I eased my way there (more in my story thread later) and praise the lord I am here to share a few things now! It feels good and your day can come too! Be encouraged and stay the course - quoting mr Mel again- it is the sum of the parts - Let's all read this again- It is the sum of the parts!! All the little things add up So keep at it - the small things add up - and you do what you can for this day! take deep breaths and enjoy this day for the very gift of life that it has to offer! Be in the now as you fight for wellness and let God - who loves you so much - let his grace fill you up and replenish your spirit soul and body! ;) |
