Rachel, are you reading a book by Harvey Diamond? That sounds like Fit For Life stuff! I followed his advice for YEARS. I juiced twice daily. I was healthy, and very skinny ... probably because of all the vegetarian eating and lots of wheat! I didn't have an ounce of cellulite following that diet and I had already had all our kids ... even skinny people have cellulite when they're storing all kinds of bad stuff in their bodies. Harvey Diamond has some kind of chronic disease ... maybe agent orange? His newer stuff is not vegetarian, so I think it's better balanced for most of us. I believe he controls his disease entirely with natural stuff.

There are lots of "natural hygenists" out there. Back to Eden is another good book with the same priniciples.

I also like that one written by that guy who's a naturopath .... Doctor Heal Thyself? Is that the title. I really like his stuff, and I think it's better balanced as far as protein goes.

I generally avoid dairy ... but I like my lattes ... you are right about the soda. The only time I get it is with my popcorn at the movies, and even then I have them fill the cup all the way with ice so it gets watered down because it's too sweet. This is all the stuff I used to be really into ... now wonder I was able to fight the Lyme so well all these years! I'll have to dig out my juicer ... at times I'd juice so much and always use a carrot base that I'd have to lay off it for a few days because my palms would turn orange! :blink:

One of my favorite things that H. Diamond wrote was that cows have four (I think it's four) stomachs to digest milk ... some humans who drink milk look like they do! :lol:

I've noticed that when I hit enter it spaces farther down than it used to, like it's double spacing. Maybe you're hitting enter the same number of times, but it's double spacing. Try just posting without hitting enter after the last word of your post and see if that helps. I found the same thing happening to me ... never realized I hit enter after the last word till I started seeing those large spaces.

Anyways, it doesn't make what our friends do any better does it?

Nope it sure doesnt! :lol::lol:

I guess what I was trying to say is that when you get both aspartame and msg in your system at the same time...your reaction will be more severe if you're sensitive.

I think it might *seem* like alot of people can eat this stuff and not have any problems...but in actuality I think that these are the types of things that pile up and over time we end up sick. Its not *just* from the MSG alone...but the neurotoxins in our food are just another thing that puts added stress on our bodies and our liver. When we start getting problems with high toxicity we dont detox as well and so these poisons are circulating around our bloodstream instead of getting eliminated.

I think the more toxic we are the more of a noticeable affect these chemicals are gonna have on our health. I believe they are having a negative effect on the body WAY before the body breaks down. Some people might not ever reach the point of becoming overly toxic and getting chronically ill but it doesnt mean they are OK with these chemicals. They still can cross into the brain and cause damage over time.

People dont know this stuff though....I wouldnt know any of it had I not got sick. I cant really blame people for being in the dark about whats in our food. I would still be eating unhealthy and most likely... if I read *any* of this stuff I would roll my eyes and dismiss it.....cuz I was "invinceable" and I could eat junk all day long and be perfectly fine. :rolleyes:

I never looked at ingredients before and to be honest I didnt know that pasta was made from wheat.....I didnt know what the heck gluten was.....and I probably wouldnt have cared much if someone tried to "inform" me. So yeah...my own ignorance got me here....and I'm not so "invinceable" afterall. :ph34r:

Guess I had to learn the hard way. :(

Well, about 15 minutes later they called me and she had signed it! WHAT??! Was she in the office the whole time? I've been waiting for them to fax it ever since then .... so for over an hour. I was going to write this in once I found out what the results were ... but still waiting ...

Carla...that Dr. sucks!! Want me to punch her for you??? :lol:

Is she the same one who wanted to do "voodoo" on you.....saying your "baggage" is causing your illness??

If it is....I'll punch her twice.....just for being moronic. :lol:

Ummm....I always thought I was doing my body good.....I drank milk practically everyday of my life...I *had* to have it with meals. It was a powerful craving I had for milk and its still *in* me to want a glass of milk that badly. The rest of the time I drank soda. :ph34r:

Me too...I crave milk even though I haven't had any for years.

So yeah....water is the best thing for your body as long as its pure through distilling or reverse-osmosis filtering. Tap water is BAD. It says even if you filter it with Brita systems (or something similar)....the water is still not good. Bottled water sometimes contains impurities or is simply dead from processing and storage.
Oh good, the water I drink at work is reverse-osmosis...that's good. Bad is that I use a Pur water pitcher at home...I've been wondering the last few days (since BioSET) whether the discussion we had a few 100 pages ago about coconut filters applied to it, and now after what you just said, maybe I'll just buy distilled water, lol.

Sheeeesh....no wonder why those of us with candida do so badly with fruits. :blink:

I serously cant deal with mycotoxins and molds....I think I've gone hyper-reactive to the stuff cuz of all the candida inside me. :(

The BioSET test made sense of most of my food intolerances for me. All that stuff showing up in the tests about mycotoxins, yeasts and molds....its for real. There was a tiny bit of mold in my cottage cheese section at work. I saw it growing underneath the grates where I stock....its been over a week and each day it spreads more and more. Each day I started having stronger reactions while working in that area. :blink:

I was kind of in denial about it....but then yesterday I got a pretty bad reaction and didnt feel very good for a couple hours....there was nothing around me....except that mold. Today I had the janitor clean the whole area....and I didnt get any reaction. :)

Stupid mold. :angry:

And yet, I still can't leave the stupid fruit alone. STUPID MOLD! I know (or am nearly 95% positive) that I have mold inside the walls in my bathroom. I ALWAYS test positive for mold...I did on my scratch skin test, and I did on the first food allergy testing I had done, and BioSET went crazy with the molds for me. I've been in denial. :ph34r:

Wait a minute, WAIT A MINUTE!!! Milk has MSG??????? I must have missed something.... :blink:

Alison...there are two types of MSG. One type is the one that is called monosodium glutamate....the one that is added into foods to manipulate our brains and our alter our taste buds. <_<

It made from free glutamates which comes from food like corn and beets. Usually corn because it is very high in natural glutamate and very plentiful and cheap. In its "natural" state the glutamates are "bound"....they are a natural chemical in alot of foods and not harmful to our bodies.

When natural glutamates are processed they are no longer "bound" and they become "free" glutamates. They highly process glutamate from corn in order to make MSG. So its something that started out natural but became a man-made chemical.

Milk is high in natural glutamates.....but once its processed the glutamates are freed.....so it *does* contain some amount of MSG due to pasteurization and processing. Its not necessarly good for us.....but people wont really react to it unless they've already developed a very low tolerance to MSG.

They like to say that MSG is harmless and comes from natural sources....but it just aint so. <_<

Its like saying cocaine is harmless because it too came from a natural source....but noooo....once its been processed and turned into a *drug* its certainly not something that we would choose to put into our bodies. :blink:

Except my kid ... you can come punch him for me ... I don't want to go to jail. He's been forging my husband's initials on his "refrigerator reading" every day, every week, all school year! We just busted him yesterday ... the little brat. He's already had one detention for forgery, this time I believe he'll get an in-school suspension ... but that's for a second offense, what happens after months of offenses??? Anyway, he needs a punch more than the doctor.

They finally faxed it, then I had to wait for Adam to get home and get done with dinner to post ... all my co-infections tests were negative. It seems very strange to me since I have the bartonella rash and babesia symptoms ... especially since I herxed when I took an herb known to affect babesia.

Since it's an Igg and Igm test, I wonder if it has false negatives? Especially since my exposure was so long ago.

Carla.....the tests for co-infections are just as tricky as the tests for Lyme. The infections can be there but not show up. They will sometimes show up later on. That one guy I corresponded with had all 3 co-infections but only one showed up in the first test.....several months later a second one showed up and months after that....the third one showed up. Infections can hide behind each other so they may show up later on in treatment.

Co-infections are a clinical diagnosis also.

It's so tricky. When I started taking artemisia, I herxed within two days, very badly, in fact the worst yet. Artemisia is specifically for babesia, which I have the symptoms of ... so this makes a lot of sense. I really seemed to have a babesia herx since I had four night sweats in one night from it! I'm still trying to recover from the herx. I don't know about you, but I get a lot of muscle aches ... flu-ish aches.

Hi Mango!!

What are your thoughts about dairy??? :lol::lol:

Well let me tell you what I think...

just kidding. :lol:

Speaking of pasteurization though...I read a fun fact about that not too long ago. Apparantly Pasteur himself determined just before he died that pasteurization was an unnecessary process. As I'm typing this I'm thinking how dorky it is that I find random facts about pasteurization interesting. Hmmm...I wish I could cite the source of that fact. I think I heard it on Paul Chek's "You Are What You Eat" cds, which contained some of the most fascinating nutritional info. I ever heard. I guess I'm just nerdily (can that be a word?) fascinated by that kind of stuff.

But yeah Rachel, I was excited about your anti-dairy post :lol::ph34r:

Oh and juicing is the best! My juicer is seriously one of my favorite things :ph34r: I love it :D I sometimes have the exact same carrot problem as you, Carla :lol:

That's been a few years ... :ph34r: I was just talking to Adam about Fit for Life and how we should go back onto it. I know it was very helpful in the past. I'm sure it was a significant part of why my Lyme was in remission for so long. After I mentioned Harvey Diamond, I looked him up ... he has a my space, just use his full name and the usual type my space address. He has kept his Agent Orange symptoms at bay using his diet and supplements. I remember doing lots of detoxing on the diet. I'm going to give it a try to see if it boosts my energy.

He has a certain way of eating fruit ... it makes it so it doesn't ferment in your system and feed the yeast ... so he says you can eat it with candida. I still ate it in moderation on the anti-candida diet, and it didn't bother me.

Hi Everyone. I wish I felt good enough to read everything I missed and to catch up. What's new with everyone, any new discoveries or happenings?

I hope everyone is feeling and doing well. How are all of you? Have you stopped herxing Carla?

I've been herxing for about 4 days now and feel horrible. Does anyone ever vomit when they are herxing? Icky questions, I know. But sometimes I feel like it's going to happen. I also have this weird thing where I get these headaches and my eye twitches REALLY bad. It's more like an eye spasm. LoL. It's the weirdest thing ever. Anyone ever get that?

Well, anyways....i hope all is well.

Peace, I'm feeling a lot better, but still bad. I didn't do anything but rest today, but I didn't hurt as much. I get nauseous sometimes when I herx ... especially after I eat. This time I also had a headache, which I never get.

I get the eye twitching, but haven't lately.

Hope you feel better soon!

But yeah Rachel, I was excited about your anti-dairy post :lol::ph34r:

Yeah...and all that coming from queen of ice cream. :lol::ph34r:

Hear me now!.....when I can eat alot of "wholesome" foods and "drink" my veggies and eat a yam or sweet potato without getting all crazy...I gonna give up my ice cream! Well...except for an "occasional" treat. ;)

I'm gonna join your campaign Meredith.....although I probably wont hang up anti-dairy flyers on the restroom doors. :lol::lol:

All I know is I've read some pretty bad stuff regarding dairy. I know that I LOVE milk, cheese and yogurt and pretty much *everything* dairy......its like some kind of drug....more addicting than wheat.

I ate dairy everyday and I'm pretty much the poster girl for a body overtaken by bad bugs and yeast. <_< It cant be a good thing that I was feeding my body. :unsure:

Also...I never took antibiotics....ever. I have no recollection of ever being on them except for when I was already getting sick. I took them alot the first year of being sick but never before that....nor did I take *any* type of prescription or even over the counter drugs. People who are "invinceable dont need medications. :P

If my gut bacteria got all out of whack....it was probably from all the dairy and meat products being loaded with antibiotics and bad microbes. :angry:

All those Big Macs and huge glasses of milk.... :(

:lol::lol:

Yeah.....we need more stomachs so when one goes bad we can rely on the others. Then when 3 go down and we only have one left we can quit eating dairy (and the other bad stuff)....we can "save" our last stomach and live healthy from that point on. :P

The book I'm reading is about balancing your pH to regain your health. Getting out of an acid state and making the body more alkaline and healthy. Its called "The pH Miracle".

I read a book called "Patient Heal Thyself"....by Jordan Rubin. It was a long time ago when I was in a fog so I dont recall most of the book. I got kind of turned off because he promotes the Garden Of Life supplements in his book.....and they happen to be his own line of supplements.

Not to mention that they are very pricey. <_<

But yeah.....if you take them....you'll get better. :rolleyes:

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
