Writes; "I
am a 66 (Next Aug. birthday) year old woman that has
dermatomyositis. I am taking prednisone, methotrixate,
plaquinel, synthroid and a fluid pill. I started a rash
in August, 2005 and my muscles enlarged around November,
2005. After taking 60 ml of prednisone daily, my muscle
went back to normal. My skin rash has increased mostly
over my shoulders and arms with a few patches on my
face, knees and hips. Over the counter, I take a
multi-vitamin, fish oil, stool softner, folic acid,

I answer all health questions to
the best of my ability using what I gleaned from
20-years as a Medical Office Nurse and Administrator
along with my education in
nutritional and alternative modes. I am not a doctor and
you should not think of me as one.
Just lived many years while observing
the life and health of many in the world
around me...
Q & A is for your information and education only and in
some instances to give you a different perspective on a
particular problem!
My wish for you, in the use of the information gained
here, is that you will apply it in a smart and safe
manner in order to enhance your life and not harm it!
Not to be used in place of your judgment but in
addition to... Even though I daily watch people become
healthy with the information imparted nothing works 100%
of the time for 100% of people...
I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a
problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope
that will be your attitude as well!

ANSWER:
Not a fun thing to suffer from Evelyn? First I would
like to say that if you are taking tablet form vitamins
or supplements it's highly unlikely that your body is
absorbing them. Even without this problem most pills are
not utilized well. About 20% benefit is known for
someone in your age range as normal IF they are
absorbable, which most are not? That IF is very large
because most tablets have additives that stop them from
being absorbed properly so you are throwing away your
money while not benefiting from them. That said;
I don't know exactly what you are looking for. Are you
wanting to stop the chemical treatments and switch to
alternative natural treatment or to learn what
dermatomyositis is or? Here is an explanation of what it
is, how the traditional medical world treats it and what
you can do alternatively...
Dermatomyositis is one of a group of acquired muscle
diseases called inflammatory myopathies (neuromuscular
disorders in which the primary symptom is muscle
weakness due to dysfunction of muscle fiber). The
disease, which has a somewhat severe onset, affects both
children and adults. Females are more often affected
than males. Dermatomyositis is most often characterized
by an accompanying rash or more often, precedes muscle
weakness. The rash looks like patchy, bluish-purple
discolorations that affects one or all of the following
areas; face, neck, shoulders, upper chest, elbows,
knees, knuckles, and back. Some people may also develop
calcium deposits, which appear as hard bumps under the
skin. The most common symptom is muscle weakness,
usually affecting the muscles that are closest to the
trunk of the body. Eventually, people have difficulty
rising from a sitting position, climbing stairs, lifting
objects, or reaching overhead. In some cases, muscles
further away from the trunk of the body may be affected
later in the course of the disease. Problems with
swallowing (dysphagia) may occur. Occasionally, the
muscles ache and are tender to the touch. Affected
individuals may also feel fatigue and discomfort and
experience weight loss or a low-grade fever.
Traditional treatment is; prescribing a steroid drug,
such as prednisone, usually the first line of treatment.
Immunosuppressants, such as azathioprine and
methotrexate for those whom prednisone is ineffective.
For some intravenous immunoglobulin is administered.
Physical therapy is usually recommended to preserve
muscle function and prevent muscle wasting.
One thing for sure... you cannot stop the prednisone all
at once as the withdrawal symptoms can kill you....
I went to Dr. Garland for his expert opinion and
recommendations on natural alternatives and his reply is
below...
Good luck,
Lena
Dr. Garland's answer:
Lena this is a very difficult problem but not
hopeless... It requires a multifaceted program and one
that can be extremely successful when followed. It is a
condition that requires treatment inside and out...
1.: SHARK LIVER OIL to
normalize immune function, which is severely impaired.
2.: LIQUID MINERALS
(1 teaspoon) in carrot juice three times a day for high
Magnesium and balance to speed the body to work
efficiently.
3.: ALPHA LIPOIC ACID for high antioxidant action,
double dosage, which is listed on the bottle, if she
gets them from you. (Lena can arrange for this)
4.: OREGANO OIL GELCAPS for immune boosting action,
double dosage, again if she gets them from you as
different brands have different amounts or oregano oil.
(Lena can arrange for this)
5.: SISTER HILDEGARD SEA BUCKTHORN CREAM that works
wonders on the skin eruptions. (Lena can arrange for
this)
6.: DAILY PHYSICAL THERAPY to stop muscle wastage.
7.: IMMUNE BOOSTER DIET, which is elimination of all red
meat, chicken, pork, milk, cheese, ice cream.
8.: MAKE SURE CHLORINATED/TREATED WATER is discontinued
in both bathing, cooking or drinking!
City water systems
have chemicals that exacerbate this condition and
stopping that can be of great benefit...
Lena you can arrange for all these except the Physical
Therapy, which I hope her doctor has already arranged...
If not at least she should start with walking as much as
she can at a good speed, which will help with the muscle
tone as well as the immune system balance...
Before she starts this natural protocol instruct her to
call you so you can guide her in withdrawal of those
chemical drugs safely so she can achieve the most
benefit from the protocol. As you know taking both
chemical and herbal/nutritional at the same time will
slow the progress so she will need to work them together
in as short a time as possible so she can start to heal
as soon as possible...
This will require following by me on a weekly basis for
at least the first few months as changes may be needed
from time to time and she can do it as the others do by
emailing or calling you.
Thank you for asking me to help and you being there for
these people and giving them hope for a healthier life.
Dr. W. Garland

WHAT DO YOU
NEED?
Do you
know what you really need? I'm not talking about
material things. I mean, what do you need to make your
life all you want it to be?
Author Stephen Covey says that people all share four
basic needs: the need to live, to love, to learn and to
leave a legacy.
We need to live. Not just to breathe but to live life
fully. Dr. Philip Humbert asks, "What remarkable,
extraordinary and amazing things will you do with this
wild and wonderful miracle, your one and only life?"
We need to love. We also need to be loved. As
anthropologist Margaret Mead puts it, "One of the oldest
human needs is having someone wonder where you are when
you don't come home at night."
We need to learn. And not only for a few years when we
are young. We must be life-long learners who never stop
growing, never cease to improve. For when we no longer
grow, we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we die.
Finally, we need to leave a legacy. It is a basic desire
to want our lives to count for something. In the words
of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "To laugh often and much; to win
the respect of intelligent people and affection of
children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate
beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a
little bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
These are four needs that must never be neglected. Live
fully, love completely, learn constantly and leave
something worthwhile behind. It is the path to success.
And to joy.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================
Small And Powerful
These will be fresh out of our
garden in the next few days so it's only fitting that they be
this week's food of the week…
One of the earliest things ready to eat in our garden are these
little red and small elongated whitish radishes with a bite. I
don't remember them being so hot as a child from our garden. Is
it the ground here makes things hotter or what? Some are sweet
though so guess not?
Radishes have often been considered more as decoration and
garnish than a food, except by those who grow them. Radishes are
actually members of the cruciferous (cabbage, etc.) vegetable
family and all parts are edible, including the greens. Because
they vary in quality, radishes are usually classified as winter
or summer plant. Small ones of bold red, pink, purple, white or
red and white are usually considered summer radish by some. They
may be globe-shaped or elongated, can be fiery hot or tastefully
mild.
Most common varieties here in the U.S. are usually round, but
can also be ovoid, cylindrical, or turnip-like in shape. They
can be the familiar red or white, red and white mix, pink,
purple, and black; but the flesh is almost always white.
However, there are some stunning varieties that have produced
such dramatically colored flesh as black and white stripes or
red, green, purple, or fuchsia. Mustard oils are responsible for
the tangy taste of radishes not the ground they grow in, or so
I'm told.
The most popular, in my part of the world anyway, are red globe
radish or Daikon, a general term for a group of long white
radishes. So this information is mostly about those two
radishes...
The Red Globe is low in calories and an abundance of flavor and
crunch. Daikon radishes are similar in nutrients to the Red
Globe.
A good source of Vitamin A, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Pantothenic
Acid, Calcium, Iron and Copper, and a very good source of
Vitamin C (ounce for ounce about 42% as much as an orange),
Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium and Phosphorus.
Radishes are known to relieve indigestion and flatulence, as
well as being a good expectorant. Like other cruciferous
vegetables, radishes contain sulphurous compounds that have
anti-cancer properties. They also contain salicyclates,
compounds similar to aspirin and, therefore, should be avoided
by those with aspirin sensitivities.
The pre-bagged radishes have a longer refrigerator life than
those sold with their greens still attached as the greenery
leeches nutrients from the bulb.
Daikon radishes are said to aid the digestive system, especially
in the digestion of fatty foods. It is a common ingredient in
Japanese cooking and is always grated and added to tempura
dipping sauce. Young daikons can be eaten raw but the larger
(more than 8 inches long) ones must be cooked. Always peel
daikons. Cut up and simmered in stews and soups, daikon tastes
light and refreshing rather than heavy or starchy. Daikons are
often cut into paper-thin slices by talented Japanese chefs.
Daikon greens are delicious too. They can be washed, stacked,
rolled as a scroll, and cut crosswise. This produces thin
julienne strips which are traditionally salted and left standing
for an hour. The moisture is squeezed out. The leaves are then
chopped and stored in glass jars for up to a week in the
refrigerator. The Japanese stir them into warm rice, they can
also be added to soups and other recipes. Of course my
sister-in-law has always cooked the greens of the little red
ones as well and added garlic and a splash of lemon juice… very
good!
Some other varieties of Radishes include:
Beauty Heart; is often sold as a red daikon, and has a striking
fuchsia flesh, but can also be green or purple with crimson
striping. It is grown mainly in China and treated more as a
fruit like an Asian pear.
Blanche Transparent; (Transparent White) is a long, small, white
radish and important only in the region where it is grown. It is
similar to the winter radish in appearance and taste.
Cherry Belle; is round with crisp, white, mild flesh and can be
harvested three weeks after planting.
China Rose; is bright red, with white flesh and a good flavor.
D'Avignon; is rose-colored with a white tip, crunchy, and
extremely hot.
18 Day; is a fast-growing French breakfast type.
French Breakfast; is an elongated radish that sports red
shoulders and a white tip. It is milder than the red globe, but
just as crisp. If left too long, it becomes hot and woody.
Long Black Spanish; is dark skinned and extremely hot. Round
Black Spanish is similar, but globe-shaped.
München Bier; is a tasty green which can be eaten raw or stir
fried.
Palatinate Giant Radish; is one of the largest varieties, but no
different in taste from its smaller relatives.
Scarlet Globe; is a popular mild variety.
Short Top Forcing; is bright red and excellent for winter sowing
under cover.
California Mammoth White; is larger than the White Icicles,
oblong in shape, with an average length of eight inches and a
slightly pungent flavor.
Chinese Misato Rose; is a round Asian radish about four inches
in diameter. Cream and green colored on the outside, it has a
beautiful rosy-pink interior.
Easter Egg; comes in pastel shades.
Since our favorite way of eat them is raw and fresh I have no recipe so pop them
into your mouth and enjoy the health benefits…
Enjoy
