Aloha Jack, Rob and Mike D.,
Thank you all for your input on the nebulizer... I haven't ordered one
yet, due to other health problems cropping up that same week....
Mike, which one did you purchase..??
As I mentioned in an earlier post...I ordered and received the Terminator
zapper from Don Croft.
The first few days, I wore it inside my socks while at work. Whatever the
reason, my skin itched and I started scratching till it was all bloody from
knee to ankle, both legs. Then a horrible allergic reaction set in and
skin on both legs "bruised" (turned black & blue) and became
infected...possibly from scratching.
I suspect I may have become allergic to Iodine in seafood which I also ate
that same week..??. I've eaten shrimps, crabs and lobsters all my life
without any reactions. I lost my thyroid over 20 yrs. ago and have been on
Synthroid ever since. Why this sudden onset of allergy is beyond my
understanding. Could killing the parasites and pathogens have changed my
body chemistry..?? Affected the medication..?? Or perhaps, it's the zinc
from the pennies..?? I really don't know. I tried shrimps again last week
and a mild itch returned that same day.
At any rate, the only way I could use the Terminator was on the soles of my
feet or the palms of my hands. Anywhere else on my body and I would itch
terribly (and I would scratch).
Other than that itch, I have seen very good results from using the
zapper. It appears that I may have also carried a chronic low grade
infection in my kidney/bladder..?? After a few days of zapping, the urine
became very clear...not cloudy like before w/ very strong odor and very
yellowish.. Mild arthritic pain in fingers joints of both hands, knees and
hips have diminished or gone away totally. I am not gassy/bloated after
meals anymore. The tummy seems a lot flatter... (I'm 60 yrs old)....LOL
Two weeks or so ago, I developed carpel tunnel symptoms and excruciating
pain in my right arm and wrist. Up till a week ago, I wore the zapper on
the soles of my feet every night while I slept. Starting last week I slept
w/ the zapper in my right hand palm instead. Well, as of 3 days ago, the
sharp pain and swollen wrist went away and I am now pain free. (I did not
take any pain pills...they always give me dull throbbing headaches, but I
did wear a wrist brace during the day).
I still can't use the mouse on the computer though. I tried it last night
and the pain and slight swelling came right back. This morning, after
sleeping with the zapper on my right hand, the pain is gone again. I'm
only typing with my left hand as I don't want to use my right hand at
all... <grin>.
Warmest Regards,
Helena
PS - I also increased my daily intake of CS to 16 ozs since the start of
that itch. It might also have helped...??
