I, Karl Loren, offer to answer every personal letter I receive, personally. I get many letters and enjoy answering them. Most of these letters ask for health advice in some way or another. It is not unusual for me to give some answer, but to ask the writer more questions and respond to the answers to those questions.
Nowhere is this more true than in the area of diet.
I've found that people are usually very eager to engage in a dialogue with me, and when the dialogue is about their health, or their diet, or their medicines -- they are particularly eager to tell me what's going on -- and to report back what they think about what I may have suggested.
I've found that if I just send out information about diet I don't get much back, but if I first ASK the person, "What is your diet?" I get a flood of data back. Then, seeing the diet I can make specific comments, and ask them to read the section that YOU are reading right now.
This page is part of the more than 3000 pages I've published about the Karl Loren Diet. I rather doubt many people will read all these pages! But, you can read the main article, (click here), and that page has links to hundreds of other pages -- some of those, in turn, have links to many more.
So, I will often "give advice" on diet by suggesting a person read the main article, but I often also give them a reference to one page (such as this one) where I have something quite specific to their interests.
With this background, I want to now present a remarkable story.
I won't use this person's real name, but will call her "Mary."
I copy in below, the actual verbatim messages I received from Mary, and my responses.
I think you will find this quite instructive -- and helpful.
Mary first wrote to me, asking about my oral chelation
formula. She listed lots of medical drugs she was taking and mentioned
that within a few more days she was going to visit her doctor again and that he
had told her that he would prescribe for her an anti-depressant drug.
Well, I have an established policy that I won't sell any of my vitamins to any person who is taking a psychiatric drug. Click here to get the full explanation for why I feel this is necessary for me.
I have another strong policy -- when someone has what appears to be a very complex health problem, is taking many medications, and seems desperate -- I announce that the more complex the situation, the more simple my advice will be.
Invariably these very complicated health problems are exactly the wrong thing for me to address in detail. Perhaps a doctor would do that?? I don't. I suggest to this complicated case that only a simple solution should be used.
That simple solution almost always starts with my urging
the person to drink more water.
Isn't it amazing that almost all sick people don't drink much water?
Then, my next action is to ASK what is their diet. I don't tell them, first, what they should be eating, but I ASK what they ARE eating.
I get back the most amazing catalogs of junks foods, candy, coffee, and excess carbohydrates -- you can't imagine how terrible these diets are -- of these very sick people.
You can see that PERHAPS my vitamins would help this person, but the much more honest thing for me to do is to address the most basic of their health problems.
Not drinking enough water,
and,
Having a terrible diet!
So, I did this with Mary -- her symptoms and condition were terrible. You might be a bit surprised at the sheer volume of communication involved here -- you are welcome to get the same!!!!
From this point downward, Mary's words are in black type and mine are in blue.
Dear Karl, I have talked to you before and my daughter XXX talked to
you about me, I believe last week. I have ASHD, diabetes, arthritis and
hypertension I am 66 years old. I ordered your book and I am about half way
thru it, just got it Monday. I want to know if I can stay on my meds at least
temporarily and start oral chelation.[Karl:] yes, indeed. I could not much stay in business if I were "ordering" or even "suggesting" that people get off their medications. There is no conflict between the usual drugs and the oral chelation formula.
I want to know also if there is the least possibility that it can damage your kidneys.
[Karl:] No danger. Intravenous chelation uses an artificial amino acid -- EDTA -- and as it enters the body it must be handled as a foreign substance and processed quickly through the kidney-- so there is a strain on the kidney -
Oral chelation includes EDTA, but only 5% is absorbed when you take it orally -- no strain on the kidneys -- the other ingredients, such as cysteine, remove the metals more slowly with no strain on the kidney.I know your book says it is never too late but I feel it is pretty late for me.[Karl:] Not at all. Did you see the testimony of the 84 year old man who just started my formula? I have had many customers well past 70 before they started. I'll send it separately. [click here]
My heart rate drops to about 40. My ears started ringing when I was in the hospital two weeks ago for another angiogram and have not stopped ringing since. Now, I have a
problem in that I have an appointment with my primary physician this coming
Tuesday and he insists he is going to put me on an anti=depressant.
[Karl:] Now, an anti-depressant is a psychiatric drug -- meant to control your "mind" -- although not a single psychiatrist knows what the mind is.
An anti-depressant does only one thing -- it makes you become more like a vegetable. From the viewpoint of the doctor you become more "manageable" -- a terrible indictment on doctors.As a matter of personal philosophy, once a person is taking a psych drug, I refuse to sell him anything of mine until he is off that drug. [click here]Any primary care physician who prescribes a psych drug is guilty of malpractice.I am a nurse, I am retired but my life is very full of friends and family and
a handicapped foster child whom I love dearly. I know myself, I know I am
not depressed except that my physical condition makes me feel bad.
[Karl:] Feeling bad is not necessarily being depressed. You surely have seen how these psych drugs affect people? Stay away from any.
I don't feel I need an anti-depressant to complicate things with my other meds. I know my daughter sent you a list of them but I am on a lot of calcium for
osteo, also taking Vitamin E, ASA, and multiple vit. daily. I also want to
know if chelation would mix with what I am taking.
[Karl:] As I said, the answer is yes.
I have some osteo so must continue the calcium I guess. I get so angry with him for not finding out if I have an aneurism or something else, and blaming it on depression, when I know in my heart I am not depressed. I have been drinking 6 large glasses of distilled water a day since she talked to you. BP still jumps to 199/135 but then drops again. I don't know what to do anymore. My friend keeps calling and telling me to order heart healty vitamin from GeroVite.[Karl:] That company mostly sells fraudulent products.
I am really afraid now. The Dr. that read the angiogram said my heart is stable at this time but I feel horrible. I do have the stent in my left anterior descending
artery. Please advise me. xxx@aol.comPS I don't know that I can swallow 30 pills a day, is that for everyone?
Karl:] 30 pills is my Super Life Glow formula. Most people get the "Life Glow Plus" formula, 20 per day -- spread out into 2 to 4 batches.I know a man that took IV Chelation then had a massive heart attack, threw clots everywhere, damaged his kidneys, and had to go on dialysis.Please advise and if you have time please answer my questions for me.
Thank you. Mary
[Karl:] You may certainly call me if you wish -- on my toll free number -- any day of the week, any hour. If I'm not here, the machine gets it -- or someone else -- if I'm here, I'll be pleased to talk.
Karl Loren

Thank you for your reply.
I tried phoning you this am but I had to leave a message. I was into your book until 3 AM because I was so ill I thought I would probably die last night. I keep telling them, I feel like someone is blowing up a balloon inside my chest or upper abdomen and it feels like it gets tighter all the time. They don't seem to listen. I agree with you about the anti-depressant and I am not going to have it.
If I were depressed, I would be happ to approach him and tell him so. But I am ill.
I want to know and you can answer by email how long would I be on the Life
Glow Plus before I could discontinue the anticholesterol drug Zocor safely.I read about the Mevacor in your book and I am sure they are kin. Chapter
Nine made my hair stand on ends. Somehow I came to think that you are doing
this so people will know. You say some powerful things. One thing that
bothered me is that the one man wrote and said he had a tough time taking his
meds and the chelation also, I think I will be in the same boat. The
stomach seems to burn badly (maybe an ulcer or something from long term
aspirin therapy) I wanted to tell you that my heart Dr. warned me on my
first visit to him five or six years ago about chelation. I had not even
thought of it before reading your book. Now I am tempted to have an egg, or
two, which I have not had for five years. I am on a diabetic diet also, it is
just terrible and hard to lose weight because of the carbs. I am half way
through your book and feel it is all true, because of your extensive
documentation. I will not accept the anti-depressant when I go on Tuesday.
If you would rather answer by email please do so, it makes no difference. I
guess what I want to know basically is will it irritate my stomach to be on
both and how soon can I stop the zocor. My last cholesterol was 157 but my
good is only 39 and my bad was under 100. The assure me if I stop the Zocor
it will soar because I am making too much in my body.Regards, Mary

I want to know and you can answer by email how long would I be on the Life
Glow Plus before I could discontinue the anticholesterol drug Zocor safely.[Karl:] This is mostly a medical question. First, no matter how harmful Zocor might be, it will not greatly interfere with the oral chelation.
Next, the best way to make this decision is on your own -- consulting as you need to and wish, with your doctor or anyone else. Ultimately you are the ONLY one responsible for your health -- not the doctor, not me.
You can get whatever data you can get, and advice too, but ultimately you make the decision.Mechanically I usually suggest that you reduce your use of various drugs, slowly, not abruptly. If you change only one thing at a time (keeping all else uniform -- but reducing one drug) -- and there is no adverse effect -- you can then continue to reduce that drug.If you feel some adverse reaction to smaller dosage of some drug, then put it back if you wish.Even if you trust me on this, it is far better to trust yourself -- learn more if you wish, but be your own counsel!
I read about the Mevacor in your book and I am sure they are kin. Chapter
Nine made my hair stand on ends. Somehow I came to think that you are doing

[Karl:] I often eat 6 to 10 eggs per day -- raw.
But, I am not ready to advise you on diet until I hear what your current diet is.I can tell you that whoever tells you eggs are bad for you?? That is a person to avoid -- he means you harm, even if he is only ignorant.I am on a diabetic diet also,
[Karl:] Ah! Tell me!The "official" diet of the American Diabetic Association is EXACTLY the wrong diet for a diabetic. I have about 3000 pages on this subject -- won't even tell you where yet -- tell me what you are eating.it is just terrible and hard to lose weight because of the carbs.[Karl:] Of course!

guess what I want to know basically is will it irritate my stomach to be on

Here is Mary's official American Diabetic Association diet:
Karl,
I am eating a crumpet for breakfast,
have been using fat free I can't believe its not butter, and a slice of fat free cheese, one-half cup of
orange juice, 1 cup of coffee with powdered skim milk. (I never use whole milk,
not even 2%.)
The crumpet is a 13gm of carb so counts as one, the orange juice is a carb and the milk in the coffee is a carb.
For lunch I have 2 pieces whole wheat toast and 2 ounces of chicken or turkey breast, one-half banana.
The bread and banana are my three carbs. For supper I have a three inch baked potato, 2 ounces boiled chicken or broiled fish, 1/2 cup veggies plain, and a small salad with fat free dressing.
If my sugar is ok at night I have a few wheat crackers (reduced fat) and some fat free cream cheese or 2 spoons of peanut butter. If the sugar is too high I sometimes have just 12 strawberries.
Total 1200 calories a day.
They tell me that if I eat 3 ounces of chicken that would count as one carb. I have drinking a half gallon distilled water daily for about a week. I have cut out one medicine and was taken off the cardiazem two weeks ago. I thought if I started the chelation, and took the Zocor every other day that I would be able to get off it in a month or so.
I feel like I need it soon. My only other alternative is to try to go to the Cleveland Clinic for a second opinion and I feel this would be a waste of my time. Could I start the vitamins now in a smaller dosage and increase them as I see how I do? Or do you think my problem is too complex for the vitamins?
I am desperate for help.
The diet above is a sample, some days for dinner it is just a cup of beans and 1/3 cup of rice. That is 3 carbs.
I hope this helps you understand.
Regards,
Mary

[Karl:] These are exactly the wrong things for anyone to eat -- and a diabetic will be dead eating such a diet.
Mary, you now have a great deal of reading to do, but I want you to start reading at:That short page links to a longer page -- that demolishes the honesty and integrity of the American Diabetic Association -- they tell you it's OK to eat sugar and carbs, and to NOT take chromium.You need chromium in your diet -- I don't sell it -- any health food store.You need FAR, FAR more proteins, and far less carbohydrates.And margarine is a killer -- you must have read that in my book. Butter is fine -- the lies about butter causing high cholesterol are just lies -- and you have low cholesterol anyway.Your juice is like pure sugar -- don't drink fruit juices -- particularly processed or bottled (even when they claim "fresh"). Eat the whole fruit, but never the juice.Coffee? No good for your stomach--( Never use whole milk,not even 2%)
[Karl:] Raw milk would be very good for you -- not pasteurized. it is hard to find in most places. I go to a lot of trouble to buy raw butter, raw cream and raw milk.The crumpet is a 13gm of carb so counts as one, the orange juice
is a carb and the milk in the coffee is a carb.
[Karl:] This is a deadly diet. Get off of it immediately. You need eggs -- I get at least 5 or 6 every morning -- raw. you can start with two, at least, better three, cooked any way you like them, in butter. Toast? Not really of any value to you. meat with breakfast? fine -- steak would be far better for you than bacon or sausage.For lunch I have 2 pieces whole wheat toast and 2 ounces of chicken or turkey breast, one-half banana.
The bread and banana are my three carbs.
[Karl:] You are being killed. The chicken is OK, but the bread and banana are building up more carbs -- not good for you in your condition.
For supper I have a three inch baked potato,
[Karl:] bad news. Knock out potatoes. Eat vegetables -- raw is far better, but even cooked is better than potato.
Avoid pastas. Avoid grains. Certainly avoid junk foods and sodas.2 ounces boiled chicken or broiled fish, 1/2 cup veggies plain, and a
small salad with fat free dressing.
[Karl:] Eat real meat -- you will enjoy it more. Boiled chicken? Terrible taste. xxx, the joy of life has left you -- let me bring some joy back to your life.
Fat is not bad for you in your condition -- heated fat is bad, and it's hard to find and use unheated fat, but fat would be better for you than all those carbs. When you are ready, find sources of unheated fat for your diet -- you can find it if you look.I have, in the past, recommended the Atkins Diet -- it would be a good start for you -- but I don't recommend it now -- my diet is on the page I suggested you go to.If my sugar is ok at night I have a few wheat crackers (reduced fat) and some fat free cream cheese or 2 spoons of
peanut butter.
[Karl:] You have to turn your thinking around -== it is all on that diet page -- and links to more than 2000 pages of other material related.
If the sugar is too high I sometimes have just 12 strawberries.
[Karl:] The strawberries turn into sugar in your blood stream -- you can't do that as a diabetic. Some number of people have been lying to you.
Total 1200 calories a day.Karl:] Some evil person is advising you -- how much do you weigh? Do you really need to lose weight? You cannot live a healthy life on 1200 calories -- this is dismal news - but the real problem is that someone is pushing you onto this diet. who?
Do you have a lot of money someone wants???They tell me that if I eat 3 ounces of chicken that would count as one carb. I have drinking a half
gallon distilled water daily for about a week.
[Karl:] That's a fair start-- one gallon is far better. Drink it slowly -- all during the day -- don't drink it cold.
I use a 32 ounce bottle with a pop-top -- pull the top open, suck about 3 or 4 ounces of water -- every 20 minutes.You'll urinate a lot -- that is very good for you too.I have cut out one medicineand was taken off the cardiazem two weeks ago. I thought if I started the
chelation, and took the Zocor every other day that I would be able to get off it in a month or so.
[Karl:] These are up to you.
I feel like I need it soon. My only other alternative is to try to go to the Cleveland Clinic for a second opinion and
I feel this would be a waste of my time.
[Karl:] It would be a waste of time.You need a diet change -- very urgently.Could I start the vitamins now in a
smaller dosage and increase them as I see how I do?
[Karl:] Yes, IF, IF,IF you tell me that you have started eating a sane diet.
Or do you think my
problem is too complex for the vitamins?
[Karl:] Not now! I can't imagine a worse diet -- and you don't need anything more than a change in diet.
I am desperate for help. The diet above is a sample, some days for dinner it is just a cup of beans and 1/3 cup
of rice.
[Karl:] Oh, Mary! That is killing you.
That is 3 carbs. I hope this helps you understand.[Karl:] I do understand!
I also understand that you don't have a single sane health advisor around you.
Hang in there, xxx, get going to read my diet material -- let me know how you can start on the many suggestions there -- let me know.Warm Regards,Karl LorenRegards,

I will go to the web site and read the diet.
I am willing to do anything but do need to lose about 50 lbs. I was really working on it, then had knee surgery last March and was unable all summer to do more than sit
with a painful leg propped up.Thank you so much for your letter. It is so good to know that someone is interested. I will try your diet and watch my blood sugar. I check it several times a day. And if I can start the vitamins I think I could do a mile or so on my exercise bike to start out,
then later do the treadmill as I did until the knee surgery.I think the vitamins would help me build up my tolerance to the exercise. But I need to
know if I start the diet, which I will, could I start out with 7-10 of them
a day and build myself up to the 20 a day.Regards,
Mary
Karl,
I have a couple of questions,
Which of your formulas would you
think I should order. I live on social security and a small pension but
I could afford the more expensive one for a time, if it would help me more.
So answer me how you really feel that would benefit me most. If I
tolerate them
well starting at five a day, I thought I should order the better formula but I
will leave that up to you, because you know them best. #2 question, someone
asked me who is 77 and just has arthritis and urinary frequency,
otherwise healthy, if your formula
would help them as a preventative sort of thing?
and if so which would they order? and how many would they take a day?
I have one more question: I am supposed to be on 2000 mg of calcium a day because of the osteo test I had done, and I take a multivitamin daily, would I be able to stop taking the multivitamin if I am on yours and continue the calcium, I take 2 Caltrates and one 500 mg Calcium every day.
Sorry I have so many questions
Mary
Dear Mary
Never to be sorry for many questions.
The Life Glow Plus is fine for your start -- much less expensive than Super Life Glow. If you have plenty of money, and want the best -- get Super Life Glow.
But, you, Mary, are going to have much more improvement from diet change than from using my vitamins -- so start with your biggest effort on diet change and just add in the LGP.
Yes either of these formulas is BEST taken as a preventive. Who knows how much blockage he has? Or how fast it is increasing -- more than half of the deaths in the US are from heart disease, and another big hunk from cancer. When you understand this formula you'll see that it is a powerful preventive for both heart disease AND cancer.
Between LGP and SLG the first criteria is money. If you were going to leave a lot of money to your children, I would suggest you spend it on yourself first -- get what you can afford.
Calcium? Multivitamin? You can undoubtedly stop the multivitamin when you are on my formula.
The calcium you are taking is not helpful in preventing or reversing bone loss -- the form of calcium in my Bone Dense Calcium is the only one proven to actually add bone mass. it is expensive, but so is osteoporosis, death by.
It isn't quite clear what type of calcium you are taking -- but it is undoubtedly NOT "Calcium microcrystalline hydroxy appatite."
Start with your diet changes -- really get into those. Add in LGP to improve your all-around vitamin situation and improve blood flow -- later you can get my calcium.
Cordially,
Karl Loren

I just found a question that you asked me that I have not answered, you
asked who advised me on the diet.They sent me to a dietician nurse at St. Elizabeth Hospital to talk to me about my diet and she advised me.
Also the Dr. said 1200 calories and she left out as much as she could of fats because of the blockage in the arteries.
I read a lot of your material last night but have not come to the foods you suggest yet, so I am going back to it today.
And I still have about a third of the book to read. I am still
curious how I can get unheated fat, since I am sure I can not eat raw meat or
eggs, but can eat raw veggies.I know butter is unheated, but if I heat it to fix egg in would it become bad or unhealthy for me? I need to find the foods you suggest in the diet.
Mary
Dear Mary,
Who is "they" who "sent you" somewhere?
It was a nurse who gave you absolutely wrong advice. Her advice on eggs was evil -- there is no other word for it.
Fat in your diet does NOT cause fat in the arteries -- this is just false information. It IS true that millions of people believe this to be true, because thousands of doctors tell this same lie -- but it is still not the truth just because lots people believe it.
But, some doctor said 1200 calories was all you should eat??? When you are sick you need at least 150 grams of protein per day!
I don't suggest specific foods. I do suggest that most people don't eat enough proteins -- you don't!
The government maliciously changed food recommendations some years ago to increase the recommended amount of carbohydrates, and reduce proteins. This diet causes heart disease and diabetes -- it is hard to grasp the magnitude of the evil being done to people by these government actions -- and behind them are the drug companies.
Why?
Because the more sick you get, the more drugs you consume. They don't cure anything, but they make lots of profits for the drug companies.
You think of much of this as "free" because of insurance -- and so-called "health insurance" is just a guarantee of sickness.
Mary, there is a great deal of reversal of beliefs you will have to go through before you can become healthy -- it won't be easy because you have been "taught" by dozens of people that you trust -- and that teaching has been wrong.
It is YOU who have selected them to listen to -- so that is even a bigger job you now have -- to find more honest people to listen to -- to get your facts from.
Frankly, I am not entirely optimistic for you. I know that my suggestions can help you -- what I don't know is whether you have the ability to overcome the lies you have swallowed!
Unheated fat? Don't try to do step 100 when you haven't done step 10. Take this on a gradual gradient -- get off sugar completely -- get off junk foods -- get off sodas. Improve your diet a lot before you even start thinking of "unheated fat."
Well the terrible truth is that milk is heated when it is pasteurized, thus butter made from such milk is already full of free radicals. But, when you use butter to fry foods, you make it worse. You are right.
Better would be soft-boiled or poached eggs -- you see, though, that you are trying to fail by indicating that you can't do step 100 =-= when you haven't done step 10.
This is common in my experience -- and needs to be addressed.
So, it is not worth anything to suggest specific foods. You must learn the difference between proteins and carbohydrates -- increase proteins, decrease carbs. Amongst the carbs, get off of processed types, go to more complex carbs.
Don't make it so difficult that you will have an excuse for failure.
Good luck,
Karl

Hi again Karl,
Do you think I can still have a
weight loss with the fat in
my diet?
I mean if I do not go overboard with it?
You asked about TV, well I watch the news at night and once in awhile a decent movie, of which there are not many. Once in awhile I watch Mash, no soaps, no talk shows, just a couple of comedies on Mon. night. Not much TV at all.
I am on the computer some with
friends and interested in genealogy. I have to take one half sleeping
pill to sleep, and if I get up at five AM to go to the bathroom, I
often cannot go back to sleep, even though I went to bed at one or two am.
No fun. I used to be able to
sleep eight hours with no problem. I think all
the meds keep me jittery.
I want to see his face on Tuesday
when I tell him I refuse to take any anti-depressants. We have been
close friends for forty years and I worked in his office for eight years, and
he always wants to tell me what is wrong instead of me telling him. So I
FULLY intend to set him straight on that matter on Tuesday because I don't
have a single sign of
depression.

Dear Mary,
I think you continue to worry about step 100 when you haven't gotten to step 10. Losing weight? Not to worry about that for now. You need to get feeling better -- that may add some pounds. So what!
Have you tried melatonin for sleep? I don't know what your "sleeping pill" is, but there are many non-drugs aides to sleep.
Drinking a powdered calcium, in a drink of water, at night, is very relaxing. There is a commercial product called "Calm" that is good. I often drink a cup of warm calcium and a cup of warm magnesium (for balance of the two) at night.
Small amount of exercise just before bed is great -- taking a shower or bath just before bed is great.
Sleeping pills? not good.
My advice about that doctor, on Tuesday. Let it go. You will never change his mind and all you will do is get him angry at you.
It would even be better to say nothing -- but you will do as you wish, I know. Let me know how it works out.
Karl

I am going to be ordering vitamins also for my husband that I
mentioned to you yesterday.Since he has only urinary problems and some arthritis in his knees, how many should he take per day? Also should he be on shark cartilage also or is it in the vitamins also?
I will also be ordering your book to be sent to his daughter in Indiana.
One more question, I am using distilled water that you told my daughter I
should use. We can get either distilled or steamed distilled, which one is
better?I think that is all I need to know for awhile and thank you. I read your
whole book in one week. That's pretty good for an old lady.Regards,
Mary

Well I kept my Dr's appointment today and told him right away that
I was not going to accept any anti-depressants.Good for you!
He said he would not argue with me but thought I would feel better if I did. I had mentioned the chelation to him before and he asked me where I was going to get it, and said it has never been proven to help anyone, that is why it has not been
approved.This is the typical arrogant attitude of an man who is not only ignorant, but refuses to learn the truth.
He said if it did help people it would have been approved.
I told him I did not think so that the drug companies would prevent it from being
approved. He did not answer me.Doctors are hearing more and more of this type of comment -- they are actually very worried about it, but have no clue as to what to do.
You might be interested that on the 6PM news last night, they had a segment on IV Chelation and showed a Dr. in Kentucky giving it to a dozen or so patients. They said they could not show his face because it was black market because it is not allowed in Kentucky.
I doubt it is illegal in Kentucky. You can go to
and enter in a zip code for any area of the United States, and find an intravenous chelation doctor near there -- there are well over 1,000 of these doctors practicing in the US today.
But they let some of the patients talk and they all had glowing reports on
how much their health has improved. And the channel it was on did not make
any bad comments about it, in fact they were complimentary. But I did not
know a Dr. in Ky gives it.I know there is a Dr. Jim Smith in Ohio that does and they interviewed him last night on that same program, He had glowing reports from his patients also and must have had a dozen or so sitting there all with their IV going. They could show his face because it is allowed in Ohio I think.
It is just too hard for me to go so far for it with the handicapped foster child I have who has lived with me for 15 years. She has a G/J tube for feedings and is blind, and quadraparesis, due to being dealt a massive blow to the head at the age of 5 months, by her stepfather. She is a beautiful girl but getting heavy and I have been so ill, trying to care for her.
Mary, this may be hard for you to accept, but there is every possibility that you cannot care for this girl until you get your own health in better shape. You owe it to HER to get in better shape yourself.
My doc asked me why I was drinking so much water and I told him to wash
out all the toxins he has put in there for decades.Maybe there is hope for me, do you think?
Yes!
I am waiting patiently for the vitamins I ordered yesterday or the day before.
Let me know how it goes!
Regards, Mary

Yes, I received your message.
I started with only four vitamins on Fri. because it was late afternoon when I received them. Sat. Sun and today I have had 12 each day will go to 15 in a couple of days, then to 20.
I was thinking about stopping my water pill, my feet only swell in the summer
anyway. What do you think, I know you don't make those decisions for us,
just wanted your input. I am drinking about 2/3 gallon of distilled water
daily.Of course I am still ill, and the old ticker is jumping out of my chest (it feels like it) so I hope when I get up to 20 maybe after a couple weeks I will feel better. I don't know why your messages would have been returned, sorry.
Regards, Mary
