I have developed an itchy rash on most of my body and it’s continuing to spread. I started low carb dieting again and was on day 11 when it started. I’d gotten into Ketosis on the third day as I was only eating a total of 20 net carbs. (I use Keto urine strips for validation) I lost five pounds in 1 week and then on day 11 developed this rash. Everything I research says “Keto Rash”, which isn’t getting better even with increased carbs of 100 plus. It’s getting worse and Benadryl nor the steroid otc creams help. (I’ve since stopped them both) Here’s a little history too.... back in Septemb ...

Okay, I suspect that this situation has been resolved, however, I would like to add some thoughts in here for whomever it may help. I’ll first state that I am NOT a medical or psychiatric professional. This is a situation that I have read about elsewhere. All of the issues here are very typical of them. The fear,embarrassment, starting as teens, and parents thinking it’s laziness. I’ll address the last two. I’ve seen a number of posts elsewhere of kids who have started wetting as teens. The first thing of course, is to get the parents to realize that it’s not laziness (in most cases). Ther ...

Hello, My 2 cents :-)) Homemade kefir: 1 cup daily (build to 1 cup at a slow pace). Homemade kefir has 24-36 probiotic strains. One cup contains approx. 1 trillion of beneficial bacteria. Kefir will bring upon a quite inhospitable environment to the unwelcomed. Herbal tea: not only for parasites, but to flush toxins by uping your water intake to at least 4 litres/day.

A friend of mine had a rash on her arm and she had tried everything she could think of to get rid of it to no avail. I gave her some colloidal silver for a sore throat and, much to our surprise, it also cleared up her rash. Perhaps the extended use of antibiotics has caused the candida to flourish. Craving fats tells me you are probably deficient in omega rich fatty acids such as you get in olive oil, coconut oil, and flax oil. I recommend brushing a couple drops of 2% iodine into your your tongue to get rid of the thrush. Take colloidal silver to see if it will clear up the rash. Add flax ...

I don’t know about the dosage of neem. The wormwood I take is called artemisia annua. There is also artemisia absinthum. I take between 7 and 10 capsules without problem. Plus clove and black walnut. You have to see for yourself, but I personally believe pharmaceutical drugs are much more toxic. You have to take really a lot of raw garlic, like a handful or more, if you can do that socially. About the papaya being GMO, never heard about that. I just started taking the seeds and have strong symptoms. So I will keep taking it until the symptoms go away.   [End]

About the dosages. You can and should take more of the herbs, just play it by ear. The recommendations are usually too low. Since You don’t have that much money, why don’t you start taking food things that can help you? Garlic, pumpkin seed, pineapple, papaya seeds. With raw garlic and pineapple alone I could get big ascaris out. It has to be a lot though. And for a long enough time. Enemas are good. You have to cleanse out the colon.

Dear X: This is NOT a unique issue, but unfortunately, your mother is not looking at it logically and is causing you some undue stress.

So you first need to address the mess with real adult diapers that could make the ”spill” invisible to all others. If you are only loosing a few ounces of fluid, incontinence pads may be all you need. Second, call your do ...

For the past couple of years, I have been undertaking a sort of rejuvenation of body and spirit, moving slowly (at my pace) but can say that I have grown more in the past 2 years than in the previous ten. So many of the points in the book, have already come to me, and so many new ones are so encouraging, it is good to know I have been making many good ”mini-discoveries” and moving in the right direct ...

The inner child is our true self, when innocence reigned, and all things were possible. The inner child knows no pain, for we shelter it - with walls or masks, or attitudes. The inner child is happy and imaginative and loving in its purest form. The inner child dances, a magical dance that only the imagination can construe. For true enjoyment, the inner child must emerge, and embody our present self with its delightful views and enchanting attitudes. When someone allows through pure love, for the inner child to surface, they are permitted a glimpse of a most elusive bein ...

emotions are not right or wrong they just are. its not a quesiton of the inner child is correct, its just a matter of thats how the inner child feels and it okay that the child feels that way, doesn’t mean right or wrong, just that its okay to feel that way, tell yourself that its okay, that how i feel, the emotions are there, its okay to feel, its okay to feel that way, i acknwledge those emotions, they are real, and its okay. also tell your inner child that you understand that your inner child is actually really angry about something else, things that may have happened years ago, and ...

Hi, Excuse me for interjecting - I want to share with you some things in thinking they may help. I am a parent of three young children - they have elicited in me a life lesson in learning how to deal with my wounded/magical inner child and emotions. There is a ’technique’ called Emotion Coaching. I just read a fantastic book about it. It’s written for parents. Title is : ’The Heart of Parenting: Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child’ by John Gottman. After reading most of it, I got the bright idea to do this technique with my own ’inner’ child.... The technique would seem ver ...

I just want to know what to say to that Inner Child or wounded Inner Voice when the e-mail isn’t answered: Should I agree with the ”Child” because she is incapable of lying -- and say ”You’re absolutely right as always, inner child, that mean bitch really does hate you” What does a nurturing parent do? Once, when I was a child and some friennds were mean to me I don’t even remember going to my Mom or step-father for support. I just locked myself in my room. What should I tell the Inner voice when she’s devastated by not gettin an e-mail?   [End]

i htink that is a great question. i am one of those people most consider ”mature” and all that. but like you i have those inner insecurities and emoitonal demands that sometimes just won’t shut up. i think you might really get something out of the link i provided in the post just below, its a site devoted to the inner child and issues thereof, i learned a lot by reading thru some of the articles there. personally i think that sometimes you have to give your inner child free reign, BUT! you have to do so with eyes wide open watching exactlyt o see what the ramifications of your actions a ...

It is said we should nurture and cater to our Inner child and listen to our inner child, Does that mean the Inner Child always tells the truth-- Does that mean we should do whatever the Inner Child feels like doing. Sometimes, when I e-mail someone, (usually the same person)and I do not get a reply in a reasonable amount of time (which means IMMEDIATELY!!!) I get upset and hurt and I rail that the person does not like me. A part of me — is it my Inner Child— wants to write a mean e-mail to the person railing at her for not liking me. A couple of times I have written to her asking if ...

I have never really heard of this, but of course, it seems completely logical that the ”starry-eyed and bushy-taled” innocence of the child is inside (whether crushed or forgotten) of us and happiness is only a matter of reuniting the two. Reunification is not just a noble effort, but it would seem to be ”the meaning of life”. It seems that the declaration of ’SELF’ is dependent on CONSCIENCE (the tree that Adam and Eve ate from) and how accountable we decide to be to it. The innocence of the child is due to a lack of evil intent (evil is illogical because it destroys harmony, objectively, ...

I hope that peoplekeep posting here to keep it dialoguing daily, I am completely NEW to ideas about an inner child, but I am fascinaited. somehow, it wants to make sense to me. Please share more! And where do I start learning more about this. I sure like the idea of being what I love. And I am far from that in so many ways. I am far more made up of being what is beneficial (or so I think) at the time. Help? Thanks, Delta   [End]

It was totally unexpected as it was a guided imagery that I use for the eight gates. It was the image of myself when I was about three or four years old. She was exceedingly happy to me. The experience left me a bit unnverved and I’ve not done the meditation since then.   [End]

Would love to hear more if you’re willing to share. What did your inner child look like? How did you feel when you saw her? Was anything said? Do you think you’ll be able to meet her again? Will this change how you perceive yourself now? This is fascinating!   [End]

I had not meditated in a long time. Today I was doing some imagery meditation through the eight gates. I’ve started on the first and while taking my astral shower, my inner child appeared right in front of me. I had not planned this for this meditation in terms of guiding myself through. It just happened. It was truly amazing.   [End]

I can hear the tenderness in your voice. This is part of who you really are! What about the imagining/building do you like best? ... Discovering a historic building style? ... Finding the materials? ... Miniaturization? (Tiny things?) ... Far away adventure? ... Travel? ... Play-acting? ... Time for yourself? ... Your play friends? ... Constuction? Design? ... Something else? Colors? Climate? Plants and trees? Water? The box under your bed intrigues me. That sounds like a very private treasure box. What do you like about that? A delicious sec ...

That brought back the memory of mine that is somehow similar. I used to play with playmobil with others and alone for hours and hours at a time. However this was filled with imagination because we didnt have that much stuff then and most of the things we build ourselves. Like a multistorey house by using cassette tapes as walls and putting books on top. There were no boundaries and there was nothing i couldnt play - I always found the right thing to use. But the best and most precious experience in this was that I dived into different world as if i was living in them. I forgot time and sp ...

Hi, Lori, The therapist’s book I read part of (in 1985/86), acknowledged the person ’listening’ to the memories/needs of the inner people. They called it ’the adult you are becoming’, probably because that is where the responsibility for healing and growth must be placed. They also suggested that one NOT do exercises alone, in case, I suppose, remembered feelings tend to overwhelm reason. They suggested to do exercises only with a qualified therapist. If I remember correctly they also suggested that exercises be time-limited...I think it was 15 minutes, max. I did it by mysel ...

I have a middle-schooler and two pre-schoolers in the house so they definitely help keep me ’childish’. Occassionally I like to paint or draw abstracts. I like to sing. I like to play silly games with my children....like we had this one game where we called out things that ’rocks’ could do that they ordinarily can’t....and really, fully picturing the image was hilarious. We would each take turns saying something new that rocks could do. For example, ”Rocks take baths!” or ”Rocks drive cars!” Or ”Rocks climb trees”! I know, so silly, and so funny! I don’t know how we came to that g ...

Hi, Fledgling Thanks for posting your experiences about all of your ’selves’ and especially sharing listening again to your inner child. I too am focused on healing the wounded inner child and just encouraging the inner child...melding the child and parent. Interesting I haven’t come across the concept of the three in this way...child, parent, adult. But I do resonate to a more spiritual/’christian’ view of mother, father, divine child. I am curious about Wishcraft. I actually bought this book several months ago but have not read it. Only went through the first couple chapters. ...

That’s a good one, Aclays! Imagination! Tell us more. Building stuff? How crazy were the games? Who was the craziest...you or your brother? What did you like best? You have a magic wand, and ten minutes. What do you do first? Do tell, won’t you? You’ve got me curious! fledgling   [End]

Mine would definitely have to be my imagination. When I was a kid, for years my brother and I entertained ourselves all day long building legos and having huge lego wars, building huge castles, or we’d go outside and play some of the craziest games. For the life of me I can’t remember how to have an imagination like that. When I hit about 13 I decided that I was to grown up to play legos or any of those ’stupid kid games’, so I blocked them all from myself and just spent time reading and other hanging out at friends houses playing video games. If only I’d known the disservice I was doing t ...

Apparently http://www.wishcraft.com is down today. Try again tomorrow. The site has been up for years, and I’m positive it will be up forever. It will be worth the wait, I promise.

What an excellent idea for a forum! Since 1984, my best, most fun, and most effective experiences have centered on the inner child, parent, and the adult I am becoming. At first, it was a picture of myself at age 16 that spurred a loss of 65 pounds in about 7 months. I figured that every cell in my body knew what it took to be 16 years old. I was 46 at the time, and I decided that I wasn’t going to ACT like a sixteen year-old, just be as healthy as one. It worked, along with throwing out white flour and white sugar, but now I need to renew the memory! The second experience wa ...

I think children are much better people than adults They are stronger They are innocent They love unconditionally They are like scattered pearls The child is like a blank slate What ever you do to make an imprint on this child it will stay with him forever The children of the world are heavens children- what happens? God has a way of working things out even though we dont know His wisdom. Anyways- lets all remember to love, have patience with, and protect the children, amen.   [End]

I think it’s a good idea to keep a photo of yourself as a child where you see it often, especially one that reminds you of a happy time. I have one of myself about 3 or 4 years old, lying in a hammock with my grandmother and both of us wearing big grins. I have a couple of cute snapshots of me as a toddler on Christmas morning that I like to put out for Christmas, along with a plate my son made that says, ”Merry Christmas mom and bad” The best thing for bringing out your inner child is spending time with a child. It’s very instructive (and entertaining) to watch how they operate kind ...

I figured i’d start out with this question so we can all share each other’s input on this! my idea to allowing the inner child to come out in us is this: 1- Creativity. Think outside the box and not do things because everyone else is doing it. In response to why you are making something a certain way-- just say ”Because I can” 2- Dance! Even if you arent comfortable doing this in public, just move around and sing and let your silly side come out when your home. Great when doing housework and great for keeping your muscles limber :-)   [End]

The more work I do with the Archetypes and integrating the shadow side of the particular Archetype I seem to keep coming back to my child and a fear...I am happy to see this forum! Each week we have some speaking to the core and the visualization of bringing that part that has been ignored ot spearate,. either to look good-or to ”be good” back into the fold. It amazing the healing that reaching out to shadow self allows   [End]
