Before responding, please consider the following:

1. I am not, nor have ever identified with being a New Agist
2. I have not read, up until two days ago, any spiritual/religious material except the Bible.
3. I have always identified with being a Christian; although certain excerpts of the Bible tends to confuse me.
4. I have been suffering with many different illnesses for several years and had two separate surgeries last year.
5. Upon hearing I should have a third surgery for a third completely unrelated issue I decided instead to seek the assistance of a homeopath and a chiropractor (I was actually bed ridden from having severe back pain).
6. After seeking treatment every known illness from which I suffered stopped the day I began taking the homeopathic medicine. I had also altered my diet (vegetarian) and eat 90% organic prior to this time.

Something else happened after I began taking the medicine. I began having ascension symptoms. The typical stuff… falling through the bed, out of body experiences (semi-conscious), mild and extreme vibrations, visions when going off to sleep/waking up/going about my day to day life, and simply feeling different (amongst many other profound experiences). Upon reading some material I learned that I could have possibly been feeling this for years, but due to being in a negative vibrational state it manifested as very painful experiences. I recall even seeing a neurologist to figure out what was going on with me. Now these vibrations and other experiences are more enjoyable for the past two months. I should also note that I have had many profound spiritual experiences since I was a child that suddenly stopped for many years and began again with greater intensity after taking the homeopathic medicine.

My question is, have we been ascending for years? Are we all ascending? When did this start? Is it possible that this could have started a very long time ago, but just now being recognized? Based on my symptoms I am assuming I have been going through this for at least five years, and possibly many more.

Thanks for your input! Please, no negative responses or unrelated references to reading the Bible and praying. I do refer to the Bible and pray to the one God constantly… not just three times a day.
Thanks for your input guys; however, I don’t recall making a claim that the world will be ending in 2012. If you simply don’t have an answer, please move on and click on another topic. Thanks for your time.
Sorry guys… don’t have sleep apnea nor any other form of sleep disorders, nor any form of psychosis for that matter. I have never had a full out of body experience, just feelings of leaving my body and returning and memories of having visited places that are far from my kitchen. Looking for intelligent answers only.

I’m a first time mom and I am finding it harder now than ever to get my baby on a schedule. At first it was so routine, wake up , eat, play, sleep. Now he’s just all over the place. He’ll eat 5oz first feeding and last feeding, but during the day 2oz-4oz and I never know what it’s gonna be. He drinks water sometimes. He won’t take a pacifier to calm down. When he was up to 3 months he loved his pacifier, now he throws a fit when I put it in his mouth. I’m just trying to establish some sort of schedule for him. Does anyone have an example of a daily schedule they have their 5 month old child on? I’m new to all of this, and the doctor just shrugs the shoulders and says, it’s normal; he’s doing fine. It’s hard though because when his routine is screwed up, the whole house’s routine is screwed up! Is he not sleeping enough? By the time he’s over tired and screaming his head off with his little eyes shut because he’s exhausted, he’s frustrated, I’m frustrated…he’s hungry because he didn’t eat his meal, tired because he hasn’t slept…poor baby. I just feel so bad that he gets so miserable. Also, a lot of the time when he does FINALLY falll asleep it’s only for like 20-30 minutes…then some times it’s for 1-2 hours….I just never know what he’s gonna do, and I wish there was something I could do to help him get regulated. I make sure I rub his gums, because he is starting to teeth. He screams when I use baby ambisol, so we skip that. I found some homeopathic tablets that disolve in his mouth, he LOVES those…Any suggestions to help my little guy get full and get some rest??

I have been on an ever increasing dose of Xanax for the last 5 years. I am now at 3mg/day. I have been at this dosage for maybe two years now. It doesn’t seem to be working anymore, and I’m looking for alternative, homeopathic suggestions. I am under the guidance of a psychologist and psychiatrist and have a good network of doctors, but I am at a loss right now. I can’t sleep, eat, sit still, anything. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone out there may have. I am considering homeopathic alternatives but don’t know where to start.

Often times I have trouble falling asleep. I have a “racing mind” and have a song or poem stuck in my mind, so I could not fall asleep. I knew I had to get up early, so I was laying there for about 3 1/2 hours trying to sleep. What are some ways that can help me sleep easier? Would listening to music quietly help me sleep, or would it make my mind repeat things even more? Also, do you know anything about homeopathic medications for sleeplessness, and do they work? (I do not want to take anything that will make me dependant on it)

My daughter’s first tooth cut through a few weeks ago and the doc said the second is right behind it. well the other night she slept 4 hrs and screamed the whole time she wasnt sleeping, there was nothing to sooth her. i gave her some tylonal after i just couldnt take the screamin anymore. She was better the next day and yesterday she even slept almost through then night only woke up once, and only for like 2 min just enough to get covered back up and and have the paci in her mouth. but lastnight she didnt sleep again. she fell aslep at like 2 and at like 12 i found myself crying right along with her. i know its not good to cry also because it doesnt calm them down but i was starting to break down. I hate seeing her cry or unhappy or in pain. i think she has 3 teeth coming in and i know she is in a lot of pain. i think i see 2 top teeth and a tooth next to the first one. She wont eat her cereal only her fruit or veggis and is still crying. We have tried everything from teething toys, teething rings, home made popsicles from juice, cold washcloths, baby orajel, the homeopathic stuff, the taablets, and even whiskey. Im at wits end and have no idea what to do. I hate seeing her cry like this and work herself up. any advice??

Constant Itch on the scrotum area, only on that area and all around it. Sometimes its in one spot, other times its on another spot, and sometimes all around. It seems to be worse at night when I’m trying to sleep. In fact I don’t get good sleep at night anymore due to it. I’ve first developed symptoms about 12 years ago and it gets worse and worse from month to month. It seems to not bug me so much when I have a cold. Oftentimes its so severe that I feel like ripping my balls off….I really feel like dying sometimes, It has negatively effected every aspect of my life…sexual and otherwise
I went to 4 Dermatologists, 2 Urologist and Planned Parenthood, and talked to a few Neurologists during the past 6-7 years. I was prescribed about a dozen powders and creams, none worked. (unfortunately I didn’t keep records of the names then). There has never been any pimples, rashes or other outward signs on the scrotum, unless its due to me itching it. Sometimes it gets “raw” and “dry” when I itch it constantly, but its impossible not to scratch what itches. I would compare the sensation to having an extremely bad case of poison ivy all day every day.
The current dermatologist had me on Gabapentin (Nuerontin) that was effective for about a year and a half. I would take 3 pills 800mg a day. Sometimes I would take more if the itch was uncontrollable, maybe 4 or 5 pills. It worked for a while but I would be lacking energy all day everyday. I would have restful 8 hours of sleep, then wake up take the 1st pill and half an hour after waking up and I would feel like going back to sleep again. I lacked energy and motivation. Another thing I noticed If I drank 2 or 3 beers I would be severely hung over the next day. I stopped using Gabapentin due to the side effects. The over the counter medicines I used are:

1-Pramosone Hydrocortisone Cream (it was actually prescribed Small and about $110)
2-Lamasil
3-Lanacane – Numbs the itching/pain sensation
4-Baking Soda (heard that this worked if you made a paste out of it)
5-Corn Starch (same as the baking soda)
6-Ice pack to numb the lower stomach area where the nerves are
7-Ecerin
8-Avon Anti Itch Therapy
9-Gold Bond Body Powder
10-Vingear
11-Icy Hot (burned really bad but after it worked for an hour)
12-Micatin
13-Aveeno Oatmeal Bath
14-Neuragen (homeopathic, figured Id give it a try since it states it works for nerve damage)
15-Nasal Spray (controlled substance) RX by the dermatologist
16-Dreft (baby detergent)
17-Dove Soap – dermatologists suggestion
18-Hypericum Perforatum Homeopathic
19-St Johns Wart Oil
20-Benadryl Original Strength Cream
21-Gold Bonds Medicated Anti Itch Cream
22-Doxepin (Sinequan) – RX Topical (external) treatment of itching skin disease 23-Lice Shampoo
24-Honey – Natural Medicine
25-Nix Lice Shampoo
26-ActivOn
27-Quercetin 500 – inhibits the manufacture and release of histamine and allergic/inflammatory mediators
28- Milk – Contains Capsaicin a natural
29- Half Detergent/2 Rinse Cycles (Second cycle no detergent)
30- New Comforter/sheets for bed
31 Accupunctur
32 Vegecol Organic Facial Cleansing Lotion For Sensitive Skin
33 Advil Liqui-Gels
I’m in desperation to cure this problem even temporarily, as long as its not Gabapentin. The only thing that numbs the pain is Lanacane, and Gold Bond sometimes works too. Lanacane is by far the best although it has some severe side effects. HOT water in the shower and a bath is the only thing that totally soothes the problem, but only during the duration that i’m in the bathroom.
This seems to be a neurological problem. I don’t currently have health insurance so I’m hesitant to see a specialist like a Neurologist especially if all the other doctors can’t do anything to help

I’m not sure what to do. The other night, my boyfriend woke me up and told me I was snoring and that it was keeping him awake. Normally he wouldn’t mind, but he has to get up at four in the morning to go to work. He says he still wants to sleep beside me, but I can’t bring myself to go to bed with him when I know if I snore (which is embarrassing, since I’m a woman) I’ll keep him from getting his much-needed sleep. He works in a warehouse lifting boxes all day and needs a certain amount of sleep to keep up his strength. My question is, what can I do to prevent myself from snoring? Is there a homeopathic remedy, or a certain product I could try? I was thinking about those Breathe Right strips, but am not sure if they work. Please help!!!

When I pet my cat he gets really pissed and growls. We just got a new kitten about 2 months ago and he seems to be irritated by her. They play and sleep together, but sometimes he just gets really mad at her. Lately though, he is secluding himself and he is growling at everything. I can’t even touch him without having him look pissed or growl at me. He has always been a little touchy, but this is getting bad. Is there anything I can give to him like a homeopathic remedy or is there anything that I can do for him to make him know he is loved and doesn’t need to be mad?
