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. :):)

dlp252 Apprentice

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.

aprilh Apprentice

you can also use www.godaddy.com.

There are website building products on there.

Hi Carol!

I have multiple diagnosees (sp?) as well.

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

Nancy

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.

Nancy

Nancy....are you looking for the Lyme Disease thread on this board or are you looking for LymeNET (Which is a different board altogether)?

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Donna,

I'm saying prayers for everything to turn out ok. :)

Rachel--24 Collaborator

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....

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Julie....I dunno why but for some reason the mention of "Cops" in this thread made me think of you. :lol::lol:

I dont know if any of them were "hot" though. All of my attention was focused on the drama. :P

Yikes about peeking over the fence to see that though. Glad no shots were fired......you didn't say any were anyway. Were you able to eat your meat? Chocolate cake.....sounds nummy!

dlp252 Apprentice

I'd LOVE some chocolate cake right now! :P

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 forgot about that, me and my hot cop that pulled me over!! :lol::lol: .....hard to believe that was two summers ago, happy fun memories indeed!!!

I'd LOVE some chocolate cake right now! :P

Don't get me started! I haven't had chocolate in like 60 days, OMG talk about torture!!!!!

Rachel, you have to eat extra for me :D:D

Kassandra, how are you feeling today? What's the latest?

dlp252 Apprentice
Don't get me started! I haven't had chocolate in like 60 days, OMG talk about torture!!!!!

Ha, I ate enough for BOTH of us and most of this thread too yesterday. Made myself SICK as a dog, which didn't help me get any sleep last night! :lol:

confused Community Regular

Another reason i have to go back and read all the pages. Im so lost about this cop thing lol.

Everyone,

I rode and rode my new bike today with the kids. My legs are cramping now lol. Im debating on that ice cream and cake tonight for the kids birthday lol.

Donna,

I hope you get the second results soon. I will be thinking and praying for you.

Good luck reading Paula, lol. It was a funny time in Rachelville back then...hope it all still makes sense.

confusedks Enthusiast
Kassandra, how are you feeling today? What's the latest?

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. <_<

It was a funny time in Rachelville back then...

Yeah Paula....you'll eventually get to read about Julie and her cop. Right now she's saying that the cop pulled HER over.....but I actually think it was the other way around! :lol:

Anyways....lots of good Rachelville memories in here.....have fun! :D

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.

jerseyangel Proficient

OMG--the town lists! :lol: They just got longer and longer....Andrea kept them all up to date :D

Yep--good times! :rolleyes:

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!!

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.
    • Scott Adams
      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.
    • RMJ
      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
