Sherry,

I don't know if I would test poorly for Mepron because she seems to have an issue with prescription drugs. It's a good question. I am not really too worried about what she said because I really trust my LLMD and his NP. I will take into consideration some of the things she said, but I'm not going to stop taking Mepron or Zith because I didn't test well for them.

Also, she said that she could get rid of my insomnia by me taking these little pellets...well, I didn't fall asleep without Ambien last night, so I don't know. I'm also not willing to lose up to 12 days of sleep, which is how long she said it would take.

My sleep issues are only because I am not able to do enough to get tired enough. I have never had insomnia, and I know that once I have more energy to do more things, I will be able to sleep better. :)

Happy B day Carla. What are you like 36, 37? ^_^

Hi everyone.

Yeah Julie I still have my amalgams. About 6 of them and I know this is one reason I taste metal so bad. That is actually maybe a good thing since it warned me about the rust coming in from outside my window.

About the foot detox pads, did you know that Avon sells them now? My mom was showing me the avon catalog that she orders from. :rolleyes: They really do have detox foot pads that you can order. I don't know if I would order them from Avon..

So for the rust I have been taking bentonite clay, vegetable binder and zeolite hp from nutramedix.

I really want to try the zeolite from waiora. I have been to several conferences and the product seems promising about how thier zeolite can pull many toxins and metals from the body.

There zeolite has been cleared of toxins and metal, where most zeolites have many toxins and metals on them already. I don't know, have to see...

Mia, I just finally ordered my detox foot pads yesterday. I'm really not all that excited to try them because I think I'm probably gonna react to them.

I only ordered the minimum (20) and I'll see what happens. Once I saw the ingredients on the pads my excitement faded pretty fast. Its all stuff I know my body cant process very well. I just dont know how much of it will be absorbed into my system and if it'll be enough to cause problems.

I know that the castor oil from the packs I tried last year was enough to totally cause all kinds of symptoms after about 15 minutes over my mid-section. Way too much salicylate I think. :blink:

I hope its not the same problem with the foot pads but they do contain salicylates. :(

I got my molybdenum in the mail today. :)

I cant try it until next week because I have to stop taking minerals 4 days prior to my bloodtest on Monday. I got impatient and bought a lesser quality brand of it at the health store but I only took one because as soon as I swallowed it I started reacting. :rolleyes:

Hopefully that wont be the case with this stuff.

Kassandra....did you send an email about the appt. with the practitioner who did muscle testing or did you post about it? I didnt see any posts...if you sent an email...can I have one? :)

If you dont mind coming to the bay area once every 3 months maybe you can try to see Amy. She's great...I think you'd really like her. I dont feel that she's anti-abx or prescription meds...she wanted me on Alinia for parasites rather than any of the herbal treatments....which I didnt test well for.

She has me on prescription drugs for chelation rather than some of the other options...because thats what I test well for.

I've heard some good things about zeolite. Do you think its helping you Lisa?

Cool that you're getting out there and learning all this stuff. I wanna go to a conference too! :lol:

Even though most people I talk to are pretty understanding and even interested in some of this stuff...in the beginning noone really "gets it". Its all new to them....most of us wouldn't have a clue if we hadnt gotten sick. Well...I know I wouldnt....I'd still be living off Big-Macs (and loving it!). :D

I wouldnt have heard of any of the things we discuss here.

Theres a customer who shops at my store. Nice guy...gave me a rose on Valentines Day...asked me out a couple times. I declined and told him I'm pretty much doing my own thing...not looking to date anyone. I said I have health issues I'm working on, etc. etc.

He ended up asking me about my health...and mentioning herbal treatments. I didnt want to go into any detail about my problems...just said that I got really toxic and cant tolerate foods, herbal treatments, etc. But thanks for the suggesstions. :)

He said he understood what I was talking about...that he was working on detox too....with some herbal stuff. Lots of people say they understand but they really dont...they dont get the whole picture until I really explain it to them.

Today he came in and asked when we're gonna go out for...water?? :lol::lol:

Anyways, he handed me a paper with some stuff he thought might be helpful for me. He had written down some stuff about EDTA chelation, zeolites and some other stuff. All stuff having to do with heavy metals and detox. :blink:

That totally impressed me!! :o

Ok...I'm still not trying to date anyone but I did appreciate that he had taken the time to write that stuff down for me. It was sweet. :)

I guess he must have some understanding even with what little info. I gave him. I'm not used to meeting people who already have some knowledge about any of this....except for the ones I meet in the doctor's office. :P

Also shocking that I didnt have to go into great detail for someone to really understand what I'm taking about when I say I'm toxic and cant eat anything. :lol:

Sure, I'll send you an email. I don't know if I'm really interested in seeing yet another Dr right now. I have heard GREAT things about Dr Amy, but I just think I need to stick it out a little bit longer with my Dr's. I could see going to see Dr Amy if I don't make any progress, but for now that's not the case.

Also, $$$$$. LOL! These things get so expensive!

Yep, I think a guy that is willing to go out for water sounds like someone worth checking out--friendship anyway.

I asked today at the local pharmacy about detox foot pads, and she knew what they were. Said they were Chinese not Japanese! So I'll keep looking.

Rachel, I don't know if you're interested in this or not, but IGeneX has a new test .... if you have an equivocal result and had band 30 or 31 show up, they can run this test to see whether that band is from borrelia or not.

      no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankle...

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
