further refining my treatment plan

I had scheduled a meeting with my GP (who is an acupuncturist) for this afternoon right after the ultrasound, on purpose.

I have a kind of complicated regimen I have been doing, seeing actually two acupuncturists, this one and also another one who is a fertility specialist.

We decided that the approach the fertility specialist has been taking has not been aggressive enough (and also getting there was a pain and was adding to my stress). So I am going to work more intensively with my GP, who is going to put me on a more aggressive course of Chinese herbs -- more "blood breakers." She is going to add some more homeopathy, which we had been experimenting with lately.

Also I'm going to continue my work with the Body Talk / Reiki person as I feel like it's helpful (more on that later, have been meaning to write about it). I had been getting abdominal massage from the assistant of the fertility specialist, but for that I'm going to try switching to the Mayan abdominal massage, which I had written about in a previous post.

So feel like we have a good plan to step up the activities. Let's see how it works!

Hi there, thanks for keeping us up to date. for the seaweed, i thought i'd share a simple way to incorporate them in your diet. if you eat lunch at home or prepared at home, simply soak some wakame in water the day before for 5 minutes and used it in place of salad for your lunch. personally, i like the taste of wakame, so i don't even add dressing. it's a quick and easy way to add seaweed to your diet and it's quite filling too so one tends to eat less food with it and it helps with controlling one's weight.

cheers.

Hi there.
I'm a fibroid shrinker from Copenhagen, Denmark - and I have been reading your blog the last couple of days, browsing as I have, the web for any good alternative fibroid shrinking methods.
And you sure get on with the work. Very inspiring!
I'm 43 years old and I had my fibroid diagnosed 1,5 years ago...and I have been fighting of surgery from day one.
I don't understand how some women without to much reflection let their uterus go?

At the moment I'm working with my diet and meridian work. Daily maintenance is yoga (I have been doing Iyengar yoga for years and I do a special program for abdominal problems).
I'm a massage therapist and a psycho therapist so I also dig into the mental and spiritual issues of me getting this darn thing in the first place! What is it, it wants to tell me??!

Anyway. I want to ask you, if you have heard of a product called Vitalzym by World Nutrition?
It's an American product and since I'm in Europe I have no chance of getting any references on this. Is the real deal or is it just a money maschine?

Thanks,
Charlotte, Cph - Denmark
