Self diagnosis during an illness is something that we might prefer, or do we? How many times have you gone to your local GP and said "well actually doctor I've got this, that or the other. I looked it up on Google" only to be met with a blank stare and another "here we go again" from the doctor. I wonder what the doctor's really think? What do you do members, does it work, is it too scary, should we go pre-armed with a little bit of information? |

A little bit of information can be scary/dangerous! |

I eventually found it on the internet, it turned out to be Aquagenus Pruritus, basically it's very itchy skin after it's got wet and the air temperature is lower than the water temp. I've had it since my early teens, so self diagnosis via the internet can work........Sometimes. Regards.

Because if I'm dieting and the lab reports show something good from it, I'm more apt to stay on it. But I have an Primarly doctor that says the only way to get rid of tryglycerides is to walk, walk , walk, well, I read on the net that they can be "genentic" as much as diabetes, and Lupus, other genetic problems...which I know of an gal that has Lupus also. I would think that practicing doctors would have as hard an time keeping up with the latest technology as do others that have a full time job in professions, so while goggling helps to fill people in on the latest...its but part of the whole in treatment perhaps. Now, let's get to earthquake sensitivity...whcih gets rather wild discussing it sometimes, our body's are manily composed of water and electromagnectic via nerves. And like astrology which says certain areas affects certain parts, if your the least bit having problems healthwise, your going to beware of your sensitivity in your body...and most true sensitives will agree that it goes in your body north to south as does the earth...headaches, Alaska, left upper, Russia, Right upper toword eastern reagions of the USA/yellowstone..so forth down to your legs, being South America. I get an additional dose of this off near by radio towers I think.I'm pretty sure I'm also on an ley line in this area ...I know we sit on what was an over ground creek in the winter time..now an drain in the street flowing between my and my neighbors house these days in underground piping...Water enhances electrical forces...one reason many old churches sit over water..kind of like sypses that wear gold chains, it also conducts eletrial forces.I had one gold crown taken out because of picking up radio frequencies through it. Earthquakes and weather in general, give off electrical properties, and air pressure, and the new techonolgy they use also does likewise.In fact so much so there's an place in Germany now sells special wallpaint to stop many of them inisde houses and buildings, so others can't steal company secrets off each other...and to help relieve many sensitives of things like cell phones, microwave ovens, remotes of any kind. Charoltte King was one such pioneer in the field, bu thtere have been many others. To say your an sensitve is like standing befor ean firing line to many conventinal people. But ask any animals, they have this knowedlge. Or Granny wiht the old bones that ache hours befor eth ebad weather arrives. I fyour an sensitive, you have to take into consideration what your picking up as much as any health symptom you might have in life also. I wen tto the hosptial one time, thought I was having an heart attack then, found out later and got an copy of it, they had microwave pulsed over our area. I would assume to control people, make them sick, so they could not vote that day. I was asked one time that I should of let my fish become an Governemtn project they were so sensitive, their fish tank and an radio I had next to it were plugged into the same curcuit. They day fo the Dec. Sumutra quake that was so devestating some years back, the night before my fish tank water turned purple on me. I found out from testing the water at the aquarium, it was made from an algea bloom, caused from excited stressed out.fish.In the years I had my fish, they were never wrong as to the big quakes beforehand, with an algea bloom. Most earthquakes give off an Preizo-electrical current underground that surfaces before the quake happens above ground.Some people call them earthquake lights.There si something about my near-death expereince that has made me sensitive to such things.I understand it has something to do with the peaneal gland also.What all this leads up to is I've had to learn my sensitivity from true health problems. Right now my ears are ringing off the wall from this inoming storm ..low barometric pressure most likely. Other things live learned is "ear tones" mean water event. "heat" means volcanic.I learn as I go.Both gamma Ray sand solar Rays bother me also...but much of this I keep to myself daily. Let's just say I'm "aware" many times. This saved me also, I got to California on an vacation with my hubby one year, and thought I'd go hug an tree as I had recently read about doing and when I did, got some prety distrubing "vibes" ..visions of the ground falling away from under me..they didn't go away, they increased..until I asked to head back to Oregon, we got home.. the next morning the earthquake where one bridge span fell on top the bottom one in San Francsico... had we been still traveling, there's an good chance we would of been on it when the quake happened. Learn to trust your as they call it "intuition" sometimes.. |

I found I had 250 leathal illnesses and only had 25 minutes to live. That was 20 minutes ago, I will never do that again. Goodby dear friends. Lol Edited by: Peter Evans at:26th October 2009 23:34 |

So you look that up and horror of horrors, you have that too. You have so many dire complaints that you rush off to the doctor,only to find that there is nothing wrong with you at all. The black blotches are just indian ink stains, and the pink ones are stains from the strawberries you just scoffed. Lol |
