Quoted from OzlemW Hello, I am a newbie for this exciting BTD and this forum. I have a long story, but I will try to write short.When I gained 20 pounds within less than four months, I have started dieting low carb diet until my blood sugar level started to drop very low and I stopped it sametime I started to feel very tired and went to doctor and get some blood test done, after regular check up and everything doctor checked and found out that I have mono, I am 35 year old female. My EBV IGM 430 and EBV IgG 3599 which is both very high. Then feeling extreme fatigue. This still continues after three months past and last month my test has been repeated and numbers went down to 2492 and 89 which is one of them still high. Doctor says I am still recovering, when I check all the internet sites mono only takes at most 6 weeks, not 3 months.. I get very discourage and sad. I am hoping this BTD would help me. My blood type is B.Sorry being too long, but if anyone has any idea or experience about mono or fatigue I really would like to hear.
Quoted from OzlemW One of the hardest one's for me give up chicken, tomatoes, coffee( when I need caffein) and try to find those breads good for B type.
Quoted from OzlemW My doctor checked my thryoid level, even though tsh level is a little high, the other values came up normal, doctor thinks it is okay.. Checked my B12 level it is high actually it is good. I know it is mono and it will take long time to go away but I am so frustrated to feel that way, tired all the time. I will go to dentist and get removed my silver fillings which I have read a lot about mercury poisoning, I have those fillings such a long time, but I think it is good to not to have in any cases. I also read a lot about Candida, I have no idea what is that, but I may should get tested to find out if I have it. I want to figure out this fatigue is just to mono or something else.. Like I said I am very frustated.
Quoted from OzlemW I was in Whole Foods yesterday, wondered around with all the "good, healty food, and expensive" and looked for Essene or ezekiel bread Yaman and I couldn't find it, ...

Former Brazil football star Zico has resigned as coach of Iraq's national team, saying the country's football association has failed to abide by the terms of his contract.
"I have sent an official communication to FIFA and IFA (Iraq Football Association) saying that I consider my contract void because IFA has failed to fulfil its conditions," he wrote in a statement on his website.
"I will give further details soon." Zico, 59, who has only been coaching the Iraq team since 2011, was supposed to take them to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
In the qualifiers Iraq is currently third in Asia's Group B, with five points after five matches. It is behind Australia only because of goal difference.
The first and second teams in each group qualify automatically, while the third team goes to the playoffs.

Poyet Builds Relationship With Fans
Gus Poyet has described the Black Cats' near sell-out away following at Swansea as 'incredible'.
Up to a 1,000 fans will be making the 700-mile round trip to the Liberty Stadium.
Gus Poyet: "It's incredible for the fans to go all that way.
"That's why it's so important for us to build a relationship with our fans.
"Our aim now is to make sure that the long way back for them is a happy one.
"That in some parts is in our hands but of course Swansea will also pay their part and it will depend what we do and how we play.
"We're going to try everything we can to please the fans."

Act NowLegislation is pending in the U.S. Senate that will meet the twin goals of preserving coal mining jobs and addressing climate change. Sponsored by Sens. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) and Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), it is the only legislative initiative before the Senate that sets reasonable, achievable goals for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions while allowing time for technological advances to be developed that will make it possible to capture and store carbon. That will mean the United States can continue to use its most abundant energy resource--coal--to generate electricity far into the future without adding additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The UMWA urges all members and supporters to contact their U.S. Senators and urge them to support the Bingaman-Specter legislation. Click here to get the e-mail address of your Senators. Coal Miners Against SB 357!Date: February 11, 2015 "The only thing cutting safety ever does is put miners' lives on the line and put more money in coal operator's pockets," said President Roberts. "When safety standards are cut, miners die. It's that simple." If you live in West Virginia, please contact your House of Delegate Representative(s) and tell them to oppose the new anti-safety legislation, SB 357. Click here to get their phone number. Don't know your House of Delegates district? Click here. Fight West Virginia SB 337!Date: February 2, 2015 The new leadership in the West Virginia legislature has not wasted any time trying to turn back the clock on labor laws that have protected UMWA brothers and sisters for generations. If you live in West Virginia, please contact your State Senator and tell him/her to oppose the so-called Right to Work bill, SB 337. Click here *linked* to get the phone number of the West Virginia State Senators. Don't know your State Senate district? Click here. "West Virginia SB 337 should be called the 'right to work for less' bill," said President Roberts. "That is what will happen to workers in West Virginia if it passes. It will weaken every union's ability to represent members in the workplace. And it will mean that some workers will be able to avoid paying union dues while still getting the benefits of a union contract. It's just another way for the bosses to divide workers." EPA Fight - What You Can Do To Make Your Voice Heard!Date: October 7, 2014 The rally and marches against the EPA in Pittsburgh, Pa. and Washington, D.C. are just the start of our efforts to oppose their proposed rule. We need our members on the ground in the coalfields taking action, writing letters and getting community support. Click here for more information about what you can do.

CAN'T SCARE ME, the Story of Mother JonesDate: May 5, 2011 The UMWA is sponsoring performances of a one-woman play titled Can't Scare Me: The Story of Mother Jones, written and performed by Obie-award winning actress Kauilani Lee. The Washington Post critic Jane Horowitz wrote of the performance, "Lee makes the early miners' and steelworkers' strikes feel real and immediate, especially the murderous violence unleashed against unionized workers in the early 20th century." "CAN'T SCARE ME, The Story of Mother Jones," tells the moving story of Mary Harris "Mother" Jones and her activism to help organize a broad spectrum of American workers in the early 20th century. Written and performed by Kaiulani Lee, who transforms into the legendary labor activist, the drama illustrates Mother Jones' fight for children and workers' rights across the United States. The performance incorporates the loss of Jone...s' husband and children from yellow fever; the great Chicago fire, out of which she emerged with her own fire to help organize the unorganized; the famous Children's March to protest child labor; and the coal mine wars of southern Colorado and West Virginia.
