Dear Andrea,

I will keep you posted! I hope he gets this job! We are all nervous wrecks. Mom is worried because after 30 days, she will have no coverage for her prescriptions. She is on a lot that she cannot just go off of.

Dear tom,

I responded to Micah. I also gave him my beginner's guide. That should help him a lot! One lady told me that it was the best wedding present she and her fiance have received! :lol: It is so wonderful these people appreciate it so much! This truly warms your heart!

Sincerely,

Jin

Dear Susie,

Those llamas you need to be careful with! :unsure: They sure do spit! HEINOUS! Llamas will have a goober the size of Texas in your hair before you know it! Never turn your back on them! Evil is what they are! :P

I always get annoyed at people who baby talk to their children and animals. They wonder why they grow up stupid? Hello! :blink: My mother goes around saying things like "Him's a pretty booooy!" (Too bad there is no gagging emoticon!) That would be perfect for this instance. People should get arrested for that crap!

It is one thing to baby talk a bit. However, there should be a limit. People who own dogs have trouble getting dates. We spend our time standing out in the yard saying "Go poo-poo, go poo-poo!" Gee, I cannot figure out why we do not appear attractive to members of the opposite sex either! :rolleyes: Most of the time, when I am out with the dog, I just say "Crap already! I have stuff to do! Stop looking stupid and staring at me!"

Sincerely,

Jin

You are so funny!! Always enjoy your posts but this one cracked me up THANKS

That's neat!

What do you think of LED? I know you were skeptical at first, but that you did have some detox effects.

AndreaB Contributor

This is from a site that talks about breast cancer and mammograms. I think there is a lot of good info on this page, but didn't think it wise to copy the whole thing.

For the complete page click the link.

Genetically Modified Foods. These dangerous foods have never been studied for safety as they are unnatural and surely cause disease (immune system dysfunction, cancer, allergies etc.). They are not labeled so you are eating them without any ability to protect your health. Wheat - 80% GMO, Corn - 65% GMO, Soy - 80% GMO, etc. Dr. W. Lee Cowden reports that nearly every person with a chronic illness is allergic to soy.

The truth is that the high estrogen content of soy foods is clearly carcinogenic[2]

Andrea, thanks for the link and Claire, what do you think?

I would say, or specualte that a lot of my problems weither they be psychological or physical, are connected.

I just got out of a relationship with a man who happend to be a psychiatrist.

Wow did he have issues! Seirously. But he was a good doctor.

He wanted me to accept that my problems might not all be from being "poisoned" by chemicals and that they were emotional etc. Because thats what his training is in, and that is what he believes.

I just wanted his vaildation that I was having physicall pain, and he said that "yes I dont doubt you are in pain, but when you are in a bad mood and I ask you how you are feeling, all you do is say, its because I have a headache, or jaw pain, or something physical, you never express how you are feeling" After hearing what he had to say, and resisting it for a while, I just gave in and said, ok fine I will try to express how im feeling emotionally, not physically, and it helped put things in perspective a bit.

I know that sometimes I can be absolutly correct in my preceptions about things, but inacturae in my conclusions.

When I become stressed I find myself becomeing negative, and blaming my frustrations on the external world, getting irritated by people and their behaviours, letting things get under my skin.

Even talking about people behind their backs. Which I am not proud of.

I do this much less now that I have been taking care of myself emotionally, I realize,,, what am I thinking? That person has nothing to do with my feeling bad, Its just a distraction for me from looking at my own feelings and processing them myself.

People can agree and disagree with what I say, but really all I can do is speak how I feel on behaf of me. And not tell other people what to do and what their problems are, and that I KNOW what is going on with them, because I dont really KNOW, more often than not I would merely be projecting.

I had some free time on my hands, so I thought I would write.

Have a great weekend yall.

Thanks for reading my post.

Let me further clarify the baby talk thing...I actually DON'T baby talk to babies or kids. :lol: They get talked to like anyone else. But I am a fool for animals, especially dogs, and, well, let me say that if I were invited to the White Hosue for dinner, and someone let the dogs out, I'd be on that floor in a minute formal and all. :P:ph34r:

I think it was Donna that called me a Suffragent !! ROFL

Yes, I believe it was and I still call you Suffragent!

There's a band? I've thought all along you were in a choir! Did the word "choir" mutate while I was out?

Yes, I sing with the choir and a small group but there is also a band. The band plays while the choir sings congregational songs, but doesn't usually play when we sing our big song, or when the small groups sing. At some point our small group will have to rehearse in the big auditorium with the mics and all...the band will be coming in during the whole thing (they practice after us)...so that will be my next challenge.

Dear Claire,

Wow, really? That page is the same as the one for your ART practioner? Who would have thought? That is cool. :D LED is fascinating stuff! You do not hear about it much.

Dear Barbara,

I am glad you enjoyed my little mini column! ;) That is what it is there for! The Ten Commandments of Thyself will be on later. I meant to post them earlier this week, but never got to. This week has been full of turmoil with Dad losing his job and all kinds of other things. You know how that goes!

I hope you are doing well! What have you been up to? I know you were feeling better last I heard. How did your 4th of July celebration go? I know you were looking forward to seeing your family.

Dear tom,

You missed me again! I slept pretty late today. My body is like on swing-shift or something. You know how that goes! I am off and on here and there. AIM is something I have also been using for communication with classmates.

You are probably in SJ right now! Maybe a trip to a jazz club would be nice! If you get custody of the car, that is! :) Hopefully, you will find a good apartment while there. Let us know how that turns out!

Dear Andrea,

Thank you for posting the LED information! That is hecka scientific! ;) I wish more doctors were interested in this detoxification approach. It is very doubtful any are where I live. This is good to learn of for future reference. I may have mercury poisoning, too. Learning more now will help me later!

That GMO soy article sure was scary! The fact that GMOs are causing food allergies and illness is not surprising. I was talking to another pal of mine about that. He cannot tolerate GMO corn.

The organic stuff sets fine, though. Frankenfood is dangerous!

I found the fact that GMOs can interfere with neurotransmitters (such as serotonin, neuroepinephrine) particularly interesting. That could explain many cases of Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, as well as ADD and ADHD. Those chemicals control this activity in the brain. I did a lot of research on these things. Brain chemistry really is delicate. The food we consume has a dramatic impact on our brain. Alzheimer's being caused by these substances is new information. I am so glad you posted this!

Dear Donna,

I love animals of all sorts! I would be like you, on the floor (formal and all) if the dogs came in at a Whitehouse dinner! :lol: Have you seen those adorable little Scotties? At Christmas time, they have a Gingerbread house made, and even the President's dogs are made out of chocolate for it!

The confections for the event (among the decorations and other things) are truly amazing!

Dear Christine,

I agree that emotions can cause physical pain. I often get headaches, and I am sure my parents cause some of them! As you said, I do not think most people realize psychiatrists and psychologists have their problems, too. Just because it is their profession, does not mean they have it easy. I read somewhere that certain emotions impact certain parts of the body.

Organs can be badly effected by anger, hurt, fear, and all of the other feelings. Projection is something most of us are guilty of. I think it is natural to take out your feeling on those around you.

You cannot keep it pinned up forever! Eventually, you just blow up! I have a bad habit of doing that.

Sincerely,

Jin

Yes, I've seen pictures of the dogs, lol. I LOVE Scotties. I've owned two Westies and they are cousins to Scotties...adorable.

One more possibility...mold? Any flours or baked products are likely to have some (even miniscule) mold content. Mushrooms, yeast and molds are killers for me. Although, I can tolerate a lot of flour products, once in a while I get a reaction that indicates there was definitely a mold content. I suppose if you don't react to mushrooms and yeast you are probably less likely to have this problem..just a thought.

AndreaB Contributor

Hi Meg! :)

I just commented on a thread of yours.

Feel free to jump to the back of this thread if you don't want to read through everything.

We've discussed much in the life of this thread.

Many here are dealing with heavy metal toxicity, lyme, fungal issues, parasites, molds......

The list is long. I noticed on the other thread that you had your daughter tested using a lot of alternative things. One of them sounds similar to the ASYRA test I've just started going through with my family. My practitioner also uses the ART and LED. Quite interesting, I think anyway.

NoGluGirl Contributor

Dear Donna,

Westies are really cute! I think one couple had two in our neighborhood. I do not see them around now. My best friend used to have a Scottie. I used to have a Miniature Schnauzer, and she was really funny. Jasmine behaved more like a cat most of the time!

Dear Meg,

Welcome to the thread! :) Mold is certainly a big concern for me. I have a major overgrowth of Candida. We have it in our house. Foods have naturally occurring ones. This complicates things a lot for me.

Everything seems to have mold involved. There are numerous things that cause problems for me. Teas, peanuts, coffee, you name it, there is fungus in it! Candida makes life very uncomfortable and complicated. I am easing into the diet. Meanwhile, I am trying to design a rotation diet. I probably have Leaky-Gut, and do not want to develop more problems.

Dear Andrea,

How is T doing? I hope well. She is an inspiration! ;) I do not know how she takes all that stuff! It truly is amazing!

Sincerely,

Jin

AndreaB Contributor

She's holding her own. Growly one minute, sweet the next. <_<

She's tired of taking her supplements though and has been grumbling a lot about that.

Her next appointment is Thursday. :)

NoGluGirl Contributor

Dear Andrea,

I can see why she would get tired of taking those things everyday! :( It can get old fast! The moodiness is probably not unusual. I cannot wait to hear about her appointment on Thursday! The LED treatment is what she is getting, right?

Sincerely,

Jin

P.S. Hi Rachel! I see you! How are you? Have you started your B12 shots yet? I know you were supposed to soon.

AndreaB Contributor
The LED treatment is what she is getting, right?

Yes. They'll check her sulfa pathways first. If they aren't clear it will be a repeat, otherwise a pesticide one.

Andrea and Jin, good to find you here. :)

I've been thinking about this thread the past couple of days and there are things I would like to say and will when I have a little more time and energy.

MiaMia, how are you doing sweetie? Was thinking about you while reading the thread.

I hope all is well with you and that the chelation helping you.

CarlaB, I hope you are feeling well.

Jin, thanks for keeping everyone posted, you are really good at remembering what everyone says! Your sweet for responding to my post.

Rinee, sweetie, good to see you, can't wait to hear what you have to say.

AndreaB, How are all the kids doing?!

I just wanted to say hi, to eveyone reading the thread, (I know Im leaving a bunch of people out too)

know that I care about you all and that even though I do not say a whole lot, you guys are very awesome human beings, and I am glad be able to understand what your lives are like.

NoGluGirl Contributor

Dear Andrea,

LED is a great thing to have if you can get it! :) I do not know if anyone around here even does that. I doubt it. I would figure going to Louisville, St. Louis, or Indianapolis would be the only way to have it done. I do not know of anyone who does ART or BioSet either that is in our area.

Dear Rinne,

I am so glad you are on here, too! ;) We have been missing you! Everyone has wondered where you have been! I hope you have more energy soon! The Candida Diet can be rough on you. I am trying to ease into it.

Hey, have you seen Carla? She has not been on here for a day or two already. I hope she has not left. :( Lisa has not been on. I hope she is alright. I worry about her. Julie has not been on in a long time.

Jenny has virtually disappeared. There is no telling where everyone has gone. I hope everyone will find their way back. Grump has not posted for a while. At least Charlie was on the other day.

Dear Christine,

I was glad someone posted more than hello and bye! Everything has been so quiet. In fact, too quiet. I thought the emotional connection to physical pain you addressed was interesting. Many people tend to ignore the emotional aspect of things.

I know you mentioned taking supplements. I heard taking Tums for calcium does no good, because without stomach acid, you cannot absorb it. Whether or not this is true, I do not know. It does make sense. I need to take calcium, magnesium and some other vitamins. I think that would help me a lot.

I am wondering about Mia, too. She has not been on lately. I know she was having a hard time the other day. The therapy she goes for a few days a week seems to be beneficial. Hopefully, she will post again sometime soon.

Sincerely,

Jin

P.S. Hello Evie! I see you! How was your anniversary? I bet it was spectacular! Did you have fun visting with your family? I know you mentioned a reunion.

Hey all

I ahve not posted in a while. I must say i miss this place!!!!!!!! I realize(call me pathetic if you have to ) that this thread was and is a big part of my life. It is the one place i can go where people understand what i am going through. It seems so strange riight now though.

Rinne- I don't know what you have been thinking about but i am very curious. I just know for me i hate that things got so strange here.

Jin -

yes it does seem people are avoiding emotional issues- which is hard because c'mon we are an emotional bunch- ie. the huge love fests that have so often occured over these hundreds of pages.

Adrea-

i am so happy to hear T is being so brave- it is hard when you are youg to deal with all these things(ok its hard at any age) but i think it is a huge atttribute to you and what kind of mother you are that she is handling it so well.

Susan-

I know you posted about it but what is going on with your back right now? Any improvement- more results. If it gets to bad you can train the dingos to carry you around like the queen you are. MAybe you can train the llamas to feed you nuggets.

Christine-

hi its nice to see you posting again.

Laura-

what happened to this message you were going to send out? did you ever do it. I would love an update.

Donna-

whats going on with you these days health wise? I miss you!!! are you still off the nut butters.

I have lots to post on what i have been doing but i am out of it and will do so later I just really wanted to check in and say i miss everyone here. I hope there is a way to return to how it was i think i need it!!!

Christine, I think this was SO WELL stated. I find this is an ongoing learning curve for me too. It is so easy to focus on not feeling well (because so often I am not!) and not really take care of the psychological part by stating things directly. And then when I am struggling, when I say things directly it is not always in the best frame to be received well by others. I took a training a few years ago on communication, and on thing I learned was a framework for "styles" of communication. There were four styles, and the one where people often are uncomfortable is called "control talk." Subcategories (when it is more negative) are called "fight talk" and "spite talk." I have really tried to learn to be aware of how many times what I say comes across in this style and promotes a reactive response. It has opened my eyes and I am still practicing new ways.

I have slowed down reading things here because I did find I wasn't handling the negative comments too well. It was hard to let go of what was going on between other people because I cared how they felt, and found myself pulled in to check and make sure people were okay. That took energy that I really need to spend on dealing with my own feelings and my own health.

Recently I have tried to be very conscious of my postings and the tone I use, as well as confirming that it is just my experience or understanding.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
    • Scott Adams
      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
