* VERY IMPORTANT* JT SERIOUSLY NEEDS ANY IDEAS OR HELP, ANY INFO YOU MIGHT HAVE

Does she have a low heart rate as well as low blood pressure? I know she's only 20 but have the doctors suggest a pace maker to increase her heart rate and cardiac output?

Don't know if it's related to her sinoatrial node (natural pace maker) or what... just chucking ideas out here... :)

This is probably treatable, but I'd imagine that with it being serious most doctors will shy away from doing anything 'aggressive' to it, especially with her being young.

This may seem obvious mate but has she seen a consultant neurologist?

Not to my knowledge... I think the biggest thing they have noticed is that its a specific age group of females 18-27

I've found out some info for you JT. The product you're after is confectionary derived from the licorice plant root - most of the licorice flavoured products in the US are typically flavoured with anise oil. The Scottish connection is probably due to the fact that there has been medical research conducted here in Edinburgh regarding the effects of glycrrhetinic acid - one of the active chemicals in licorice.

There is a Finnish brand which is sold over here in most chemists called Panda which is one of the market leaders made from natural ingredients. It's available in the US also. Here's a link:

Another thing you might consider is buying some of the actual root. Here's a link:

Thanks for the links MD...... :coolclick: to you

JT,

sorry to hear this news. It must be incredible painful for your parents especially to see their "little girl" (she'll always be that in their eyes) suffer through this.

BigRagu had GREAT advice. Allopathic medicine is just finally starting to realize the value of these old quackerie practices. I would go for spinal adjustments immediately. It certainly can't hurt.

A ton of crap has also been linked to leaky gut. God only knows how though.

She's in my prayers bro.

Thanks Von... Its not very Dramatic but its in everybodys mind... She shows not effects physical wise she is as normal as can be, the pain and frustration lies in the fact that its an unknown about treatments, I mean she could be fine or she can have a stroke no one knows right now :-\

But I call her at college everyday and tell her I love her ;)

:coolclick: #561 apprecite the prayers, and the suggestion on the Chinese Medicine

We are being upbeat as much as we can, I talk to her every day to make sure she is doing the things the Doctor told her, as far as he diet and stuff... Shewent to the doctor today with severe cramps in her calves.... She drinks alot of water but the body dosent want to retain its vital nutrients :-\

Whats good JT Rock?
So what's the latest on the condition of your sister?
Don't think I've forgotten you and your fam. I've been inlcuding your fam. in my prayers....
I hope all is well.

You've probably heard this before but what about red wine? That's said to have many perks including raising blood pressure. I don't know how signficant the increase is or how fast it works but little remedies like that just might make the difference.

Hey JT,how is everything???? It's been a month since we heard from you my man. :-\
