Here's some more info on zeolites

The results of research on zeolite are very impressive:

It has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic), pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and other toxins from the body. These toxins are strongly correlated with the occurrence of a wide range of diseases, including cancers and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, autism, and dementia.

Zeolite also improves liver function, indirectly improving elimination of pesticides, herbicides, and xeno-estrogens.

Zeolite appears to block viral replication, and may prove to be a potent anti-viral and general remedy for all viruses. To date, 40 anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have reportedly been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case studies suggest that it may help alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and hepatitis C as well as the common cold and flu.

Zeolite's binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when tons of it were used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before they contaminated local water systems.

Zeolite creates a natural buffer in the system by establishing an optimal pH level (between 7.35 and 7.45), which in turn activates healthy brain function and a strong immune system.

It is an effective detoxifier for prospective mothers and fathers. Anecdotal evidence and centuries of use in Asia suggest that zeolite is safe to use even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, although its safe use in pregnancy has not been proven in double-blind studies.

According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being, clarity, and happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence of eliminating toxins and also, according to preliminary research, by increasing serotonin production. One study suggests that zeolite also helps relieve depression.

Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy, immune function, and general health.

Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach. Found in processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach cancer. Another positive effect on the stomach, according to many anecdotal reports, is relief of acid reflux.

Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens, which cause allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of these symptoms.

Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases free radical activity and damage to the body.

Okay I just heard from my GI's office...

My ampulla biopsy was ruled benign, but the cells showed some signs of precancerous changes. The doctor has sent the slides out for a second opinion and those results aren't back yet.

Sheesh, why can't anything be easy or cut and dry, lol. This is about what happened two years ago only it was the first lab who said it was okay...the second was the one who thought it was precancer.

So...still waiting. <_<

More waiting :(

We're all waiting right along with you, Donna :) Sending tons of positive thoughts. :):)

Thank you for the positive thoughts!!!

Do you know what they'll want to do if it's precancerous?

If it's precancerous they will probably have to take the ampulla out. That would involve a specialty place that does this type of surgery often...it's kind of rare. Of course, lol. :rolleyes:

Nah it's okay. It's only 100 in organizational volume. I need to call Waiora because on their site it's hard to find on buying just one bottle. You can do it, it's just tricky.:)

does anyone know how to create business websites?

go to www.gogosystems.com and sign up for your domain name....pretty cheap - less than $20 per year.

Then go to ............ugh! I can't remember. Let me ask my cousin. He's a computer guru and told me its very easy. Whatever you do, he says not to use anything like Microsoft Live - its not as safe as a linux based system.

Hi Carol!

I have multiple diagnosees (sp?) as well.

How do you get to the Lyme thread? I am still so clueless.

The thing that is so bizarre is that I had one on Monday and had NO problems at all! Then yesterday had a severe reaction. So who really knows? :P

Kassandra, this IS so scary. I am very very glad you are coming through it.

I had a wild thought, had you started your Vitamin D supplements yet? The reason I asked is that since I started supplementing Vitamin D, my allergies have been really fluctuating. Not so scary like the attack you had, but my shots changing, etc. Feels like my immune system is shifting around. Years ago I was so sensitive that I was always reacting to my shots. Then things seemed to stabilize a lot more. Now it is like my immune system is waking up again and being more sensitive. I realize that what I thought was stability may have been to some degree a depressed immune system.

My sense has been that ultimately this is a good thing but that my body has to totally readjust.

Right now while I was making my lunch....and in the process of gobbling down a huge piece of chocolate cake (yeah....I eat my desert first :P ) I heard all these sirens right outside...and then a bunch of yelling.

I went out on my mom's patio and peeked over the fence...I got to watch a "bad guy" get taken down.....just like in "COPS". :o

"Bad boys, bad boys....whatcha gonna do....whatcha gonna do when they're comin for you". :lol:

There was a whole undercover swat team, a police dog, officers everywhere with guns drawn. And then me....just a few feet away with my head peeking over the fence. :ph34r:

I dunno what this guy did....but it must have been really bad!! :unsure:

So yeah....I watched the whole thing...never once letting go of my chocolate cake. :D

My ground beef almost got "charcoalized" on the stove. :rolleyes:

Bad boys, bad boys....whatcha gonna do....

Did you have the IV abx monday too? Could be the combination did it or it was the abx causing the reaction yesterday. It would be wierd to think you would react to the iron itself??? But I guess anything's possible. Wonder if there is anything in there besides Iron?

It's not wierd to react to the iron at all. If you look up ferrlicit the severe allergic reactions are exactly what I experienced. It wasn't the abx because I have infused 2x since then with no problems. It was definitely the iron. Now we just have to find out if it was a freak thing, or a true allergic reaction that happens every time.

It was just saline and the ferrlicit. Nothing else in the IV.

Kassandra, this IS so scary. I am very very glad you are coming through it.

No I haven't started the Vit D yet. So that's not it. Thanks for the thought though. :)

I'm exhausted. There isn't anything new and exciting to tell. :lol: I'm kinda worried that if I do truly react to the Iron IV, what are they going to do? I'm so miserably anemic I can't stand it. But, my hemoglobin is fine. So I can't really get a blood transfusion.

I am supposed to go shopping today with my mom for a dress for a wedding I'm going to on Saturday. My mom had to drag me this afternoon to go. I used to LOVE shopping! Now, I could totally care less. <_<

Celia's deleted all her posts and I've gone through some of it and got rid of the constant town list. Most of it should still be intact though. 2 years ago Paula.......starting sometime in June/July, although I'm thinking the beginning of July.

It tests for yeast and bacteria metabolites in the urine.

Rachel how much does just the basic OAT test cost? I tried signing up and seeing but their site is confusing...

Everyone is different. Me being highly toxic started out at 60 drops a day. So one bottle would last about 5 days. But I would buy the 3 pack and I signed up as a distributor to save 600 dollars a year. After 3 weeks I lowered it to 45 drops. Then after 2 weeks 30 drops. .

If I were you I would, maybe since you have one bottle about 30 drops a day 10 in the morning 10 at midday and 10 at night. If you don't feel any change you might need more.

the first time i took zeolite (3 drops liquid) i felt strangely high for a few mins.. then i got panic-y and went for a bike ride, which helped.. i will try uping the dosage now that i seem more accustomed to it. it's expensive though! one bottle cost me 50 bucks!!! from the health food store..

I use to take Nutramedix but didn't really see results. I know that it did constipate me some. I know it's a powder form. Carla have you seen any results with this type of powdered form of zeolite?

Liquid form of most anything is said to be more potent.. but i guess if this comes from volcanic rock or whatever it would make sense that the powder form would be stronger..

Okay I just heard from my GI's office...

My ampulla biopsy was ruled benign, but the cells showed some signs of precancerous changes. The doctor has sent the slides out for a second opinion and those results aren't back yet.

Sheesh, why can't anything be easy or cut and dry, lol. This is about what happened two years ago only it was the first lab who said it was okay...the second was the one who thought it was precancer.

So...still waiting. <_<

waiting is definitely the worse.. i'm holding you in my thoughts!!

Have you guys ever thought of starting a supplement exchange program?? i mean.. we buy so many and often don't use them... might be more economical.. just an idea!!

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!

Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Positive biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.
