ART can identify the connection between an individual childs autism and specific vaccines. For example, muscle testing indicators of the illness may "resonate" with the Hepatitis B vaccine, which means there is a strong "yes" from the test muscle that the autism is connected to that particular vaccine.

There is often a multiple vaccine connection.

Dr Klinghardt notes, supporting the data that indicate that there is a synergetic effect between the vaccines. "The more vaccines, the more chance of developing Autism", he states.

Like the heavy metals, the vaccine viruses impair various biochemical systems, including the enzyme system. "On the most superficial level, people develop a deep disturbance in their fatty acid metabolism. "We know that for sure", says Dr. K.

Vaccines also change the bowel flora in favor of pathogenic microorganisms. The situation in the bowel sets the child up for allergies, excema, and asthma.

He also says that in his experience the MMR is the most common culprit, but the hepatitis B and the pertussis vaccines have been instrumental in a number of cases as well.

Vaccine reaction....ill effects came up for Talitha. She is the one who was edging towards sensitivty to pretty much everything. Again according to ASYRA and all the phenols that came up with her.

Seth had most of the vaccines come up with his first ASYRA which we did get cleared. I'm sure Micah has been affected as well, although we stopped him after 3 yrs so he didn't get the 2nd MMR. I've got to get the RCW codes together and get the exemption paperwork filled out for all of us still. Wanted to take it in for notary and Mitch will be home around Christmas and New Years (not sure which days yet) so we wanted to take care of it then.

Donna...there is a way to become a patient. If you fly to Seattle to see her you will then be considered a patient and will be included in the scheduling for her visits to the Bay Area. Thats pretty much the only way to get in to see her at this point.

Great idea! You could stay with us (if you can live without TV) and I'd chauffer you too. :) If you came up here you could get a baseline to work with and continue treatments down there too. Dr. E is also very good with ART. She's an instructor and a person that Scott calls when he needs help with something.

So is Kassandra driving home tonight?

(Just ignore me...I'm being overexcitedly anxious... anxiousity :lol:

She and mom were going home tonight as far as I remember her saying.

Eeecckkkk. Look at the time.....I haven't even figured out what to make for dinner yet and Mitch is taking a nap so he's no help. <_<

Dear Carla,

Maybe I have parasites, too! That might be why I am so pasty. I know if you have Candida, you probably have parasites as well. There is a scary thought. I doubt I have a worm, considering I am not stick-thin.

Dear Sherry,

Those buckwheat noodles sound great! Let us know how the dumplings and other noodles come out if your cook makes them! In Japan, they call them soba noodles. Culinary experiments are always fun. Speaking of, I may try to make truffles using coconut milk or cream. I am still at a loss as to what margarine would have no casein, gluten, or soy.

Jin, I am sure I saw pieces of tapeworm after the pineapple diet I did, and I am not stick-thin at all.

The buckwheat "jiodz) were great! The consistency of the skin was firmer, and more like a whole wheat flavor. She just made them with water, buckwheat flour and a little xanthan gum.

Sherry,

I'm thinking there is something thats being overlooked in your treatment. 7 years is a really LONG time to be on antibiotics. You've also been chelating for several years and still having metals showing up in your tests. Something is holding you back. There are so many things that could be getting in the way but in my opinion as long as your body holds onto those metals you will not be able to get vrid of the Lyme and other infections.

I would probably concentrate on figuring out why you're not getting those metals out. Its very difficult to determine all the factors involved or where there might be disturbances. I think Andrea said you will be in Washington at some point?? If thats true I would try to get in to see Dr. Amy (she is awesome and was trained by Klinghardt). If you can see her and have her do ART I'm sure you might find out some things that you havent been aware of.

She can also test which treatments will work best for you. It might be that what you're doing is not what your body needs right now.

I would try something like that if at all possible.

I think your continuing problems have alot to do with still being very toxic despite your treatments.

You could also see Dr. Elizabeth if Amy is too booked up. She does have a waiting list for new patients I believe. Dr. E can also run all the tests and do some LED's.

Yes I think you are right. I was hoping that the missing link was the celiac. Maybe it is part of it, but definitely there is still something not working right.

If Amy has a waiting list, that doesn't sound very hopeful for me, since I only have the 2 month window of time.

The other big concern for me is financial. I'd appreciate some ideas of what to do that would be the least out of pocket expense. The thing is, I'll have to purchase any supplements in at least 3-4 month chunks. Usually I do the whole year's supply, but next summer I'll have a chance to have some things carried to me.

Also I really want to coordinate with my LLMD.

Do you think there would be any chance of a session with Amy or Elizabeth January 16-18? If so I could do a session before I see my LLMD, and then try to put together a plan for my time at home.

Is there a way to contact them via email as I can't easily call?

Thanks for your input.

Julie,

I sure hope you can get relief, this last episode sounds really dangerous.

This back problem now reminds me of a month of pain I had a couple of years ago, that started with a period and lasted the next several weeks. I went in for gyn checks and nothing was wrong. Eventually it stopped.

But I think it is related to the lyme, mercury, and whatever else is happening.

I am really looking forward to Kassandra's update, especially her mom's response to this doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan.

Kristina, I agree with the others here, and also want to say that I am totally respectful of you as you ponder and make your own choices of what is best for you. Can you handle legumes at all?

Carla, is the parsley an extract? I suppose I wouldn't get the same benefit eating Chinese parsley. Maybe I could whirl it in the blender with something else.

I looked up burbur, and couldn't find any Chinese references to it, so it looks to not be available here.

Yes, it's an extract.

Check Nutramedix.com .... they sell them, but it may give you more of an idea of what they are and how to substitute something you can get over there.

If I were in China and in your position as far as abx, etc., I'd be looking into Chinese medicine!

I'll call for you and have them email what you would need.

I have your email now since it's on Carla's list. :)

Dr Elizabeth has email too, which is how I communicate with her as she's not easy to get on the phone.

It is really hard to find a good practitioner, and I haven't found anyone who as even heard of lyme. I have tried it for awhile, but haven't had much response.

I am super happy for our little Kass!!! Exciting news, and I can't wait to hear how everything went. I am also wanting to hear how her mom did with all of this and her thoughts post LLMD appt.

Julie,

Have you always been in Colorado?

Well for the most part yes, from the time I was about 6 months old. The MMR definitely pushed things over the edge from whatever I had going before that point. I have never been the same since.

Rachel, thanks for weighing in as well.

It's been 5 almost 6 years since I did all the bioscan, muscle testing, chelation, etc., etc. so I can't remember everything that was covered. I can say with certainty whatever came up in my scans and whatever presented itself was addressed, but what specifically (i.e. MMR) I can't remember. Back then I never gave the MMR a second thought, it wasn't until all the recent media attention of vaccinations, specifically the MMR and autism connection that I started to put two and two together.

Andrea had passed on that info from Anna a while back, I so appreciate you asking- that was very thoughtful of you. I made a mental note of it and it's something I think about from time to time.

I am actually waiting to have some new test run in January that will tell me if I am TH1 or TH2, and then we will treat accordingly. It is very important to know which side of the immune system is dominant because some things that you would take to treat one side could be detrimental to the other side. It's all very interesting stuff.

As always, thanks for all the info, all of this definitely I need to give a lot of thought to and consider investigating more.

Sherry, your buckwheat noodles sound yummy btw :)

Thanks for your thoughts, angioedema is one thing I could live with out. That is the problem with it besides the pain and discomfort is that there is always the threat of it showing up in the throat, or near the throat, and blocking the airway.

I hope you find some answers as well.

I don't have any suggestions for finances, other than asking if the drs/practitioners would offer to work with you on costs and payments. Some of my people have been great and have offered discounts as well as payment plans.

If you have to buy supplements in large qty. I wonder if you could get professional prices instead of retail? just a thought.

Good luck with it all.

Julie, that's some good ideas. The payment plan could help. I do get discounts when I buy larger amounts at my doctor's office. I think this next year though I'll just get a few months at a time.

Sherry, I forgot to comment on this. I recently had asked my acupuncturist if she or her teacher (a very old wise Chinese man) used Chinese medicine to treat lyme disease. She said yes, and off the top of her head she told me they approach it and treat it as bacteria, but needed to ask her teacher more about it, and of course this is for here in Colorado.

I found a couple of interesting links for you (if you didn't have this info already):

Yeah...this little Rachel engine wont give up...I'm gonna make it the other side. Hopefully they have pizza on the other side of the mountain. :D

Hey...I think if we go over the hill we are in gluten territory...so there *must* be pizza. :lol: I'll make sure I go through the decontamination chamber thingy when I come back. ;)

I'm totally interested in the TH1/TH2 test.....I'm guessing I'm switched on the TH2 side but you never know. It would be interesting to find out. How do they test for that??

I could also be TH1...I've had super high antibodies to yeast so its not like my immune system isnt doing anything. I also have Graves which I *think* is linked to TH1.

I wanna do this test!

It seems like my brain is clearer now that I've gotten the minerals...I was feeling kind of "dull" the past couple weeks. The migraine definately didnt help but now that thats over with I'm feeling much better!

Hmmm...I wonder if I could tolerate 4cc's of DMPS!! I dont think my doctor will let me find out. :P

I felt better after the last chelation and this one has left me feeling really good too....hopefully yeast isnt flaring up tomorrow though. I think that might have been a problem last time. <_<

Stupid yeast!! :angry:

Andrea....yup 2 weeks is like FOREVER!! As usual I'm gonna be really anxious about getting my results back. :rolleyes:

I finally get to see Amy tomorrow...and my brain seems to be functioning...so all is good right now!!

I'm gonna bring my voice recorder....right now I'm gonna write down my questions. :)

1. When do you think I can eat more foods?? :lol:

I've been checking the computer frequently too, waiting for an update from Kassandra. How long of a drive is it to LA? She could be really tired too though.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      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.

      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.
