Thanks Birdy, that was interesting...I know that all my levels were off, I think copper was one of them, but can't remember if it was high or low...I think they had me supplementing it for a while, so I'm thinking low.

I found this interesting (from your second link) because of my adrenal problem:

Adrenal insufficiency: The Major Cause of Copper Toxicity

Although there are numerous reasons for the prevalence of copper toxicity, the most important cause is adrenal gland insufficiency. Individuals with adrenal insufficiency are unable to utilize copper properly. The reason for this is that copper can only be utilized in the body if it is attached to a protein substance for transport and storage.

The major protein that copper is attached to is called ceruloplasmin. Ceruloplasmin is a protein which binds copper so that it can be utilized in biochemical reactions.

When the adrenal glands are underactive, they are unable to send out a message to the liver to release ceruloplasmin from the liver and, therefore, copper becomes biounavailable.

As a result of excessive tissue storage of biounavailable or unbound copper, a deficiency of available copper occurs, even when dietary intake of copper is more than adequate. The result may be a craving for foods high in copper, such as chocolate, avocados, etc. The other result is multiple bodily dysfunctions as a direct or indirect result of copper imbalance.

I started out doing coffee enemas but was told by my practitioners that my state of health, and liver, was not to the point where I could handle them, and they would cause me more harm than good.
Why was this? Is it because it pulls out too many toxins?

(if I don't have lyme... which I'm actually beginning to suspect less and less)

Didn't you have a positive WB?

Carla,

I am wondering, the lady I talked about a while ago who tested positive for Lyme years ago, her periods are really bad. Well, around the time of the time of the month, she gets bad "meningitis flares"...isn't that also suggestive of Lyme?

Julie,

I wonder what my LLMD will say about the ecoffee. I have a REALLY sensitive system, so I wonder.

My LLMD says it's normal to flare during your periods.

Paula, I left chat when that guy showed up.

I assume so. I was under the care of a Naturopath at the time, and the main modality they used was bioenergetics (bioscan, bioset, vibratory/energy medicine).

My body DID NOT want to detox, my system was very touchy, so they had to proceed slowly with treatment and only what my body was ready for.

Birdy, great links on the Copper. Wilson's disease is something that was suspected for me a long time ago. i had a lot of symptoms and signs of heavy copper levels, especially copper flecks in my eyes.

Paula, I left chat when that guy showed up.

Sounds wonderful guys :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Paula, I pm'd you the practiitoners name.

I would like the chat link also, whenever you can pm it to me :)

Well, you can PM me the link, but I'm not sure how often I can visit. They have blocked chat rooms here at work (I've tried, lol) and at home I don't spend a LOT of time on the computer anymore, but may make an exception, lol.

Ok. Now I know why I have been having all these wierd symptoms. I just started my period! I get really wierd symptoms around that time. Doesn't make sense to me at all!

I used to get HORRIBLE symptoms around my period. Awful! I absolutely HATED my period. Did I shout enough for ya'all, lol.

Egads, new chat room and already a freak?! :lol:

April,

Our menstrual cycles are a built in body detox for us women, during flow the body is doing a cleansing of sort so I think it's pretty typical to have a flare up of symptoms at that time.

LOL! A freak! That's funny!

Donna,

When I actually *do* get my periods, I am bed-ridden and don't want to eat, drink, talk or anything. I hate them too! Ugh, and the cramps. Makes me glad I haven't had one since August. :P

Everyone,

So I think this silly thread is why I never can get any hwk done! LOL! I seemingly think "uh oh, what if I missed a post" :lol::lol::lol:

I signed up for the chat too, but I still haven't gotten the email. I may sign up under a different email, because hotmail never gets those emails. Hmm

Carla,

No, I don't have a positive WB. The results from labcorp aren't back yet (and even so I wouldn't trust that lab's negative). I'm feeling amazing now (I think it's the weather and chelation) but I still have some lyme-typical symptoms such as stiff shoulders.

Paula,

I'd also like the link for the chat. :)

If most of us weren't Lymies I wouldn't have suggested it .... I figured it was relevant .... Most of us are on LN anyway, though it's not affiliated with LN.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
