Carla, that's great news about the story! Make sure they let you read the final draft so it isn't distorted by editors that don't understand...

Good suggestion. The editor-in-chief was interested because his mother has Lyme. :)

Carla did you notice on the Enula when you started passing the worms, and how long? This happened after 3 weeks on Enula and Humaworm, but I am suspicious that it was the SCD that tipped the scales in killing the beasties.

I don't remember. Maybe the SCD was the final straw for them. Maybe it was the better BM's that helped you pass them.

Mine were pretty well digested, too .... but not enough that I couldn't tell which were round and which were flat ... some parts were like what you describe.

The first tapeworm, except for being broken into about 6 in pieces, was pretty intact. It was very clear what it was. First time I saw it, I estimate it was 4 ft of pieces. Yuck.

I still get nauseous when I see a worm .... it's so ... so ... I can't think of a word that adequately describes how it is for someone who is a perfectionist to have worms! :lol: Adam gets a kick out of it .... house must be clean ... but I have worms! You always think of poor, dirty cultures having worms.

Rachel, they posted a different version of that encounter on the Silly thread .... yours is a better film. That is really cool.

I think the song choice was good...it went along with the moment. I watched it like 10 times! I showed it to my mom and she had big tears in her eyes at the end.

My friend in Germany sent it to me. :)

Speaking of Germany....

What do you think about G's report on the bionic 880?? Are you ready to go to Germany yet? :P

I think its pretty exciting...I cant wait to talk to Scott about it. I'm curious about whether Dr. K or anyone else will take interest in it. That would be awesome if we can have more machines over here! :)

Everyone,

I had a revelation yesterday. I am toxic lmao. I started an bad habit back up last wednesday when my ss got into trouble and lots of things going on. Well the first few days i was feeling fine. Well on monday I had an cigarette and got sick. Then I tried again yesterday like 4 times(yes im a little slow lo) and finally realized the toxins were going to kill me.

Paula....cigarettes are filled with toxins. You get the mold toxins....plus cadmium (cigarette smoke) and a bunch of other toxic junk. I know cadmium is an issue for me. It was high in my hair analysis and its showed up in every test since then...including my RBC test.

Here are some good reasons to kick the habit for good.

Cadmium and several cadmium-containing compounds are known carcinogens and can induce many types of cancer.

Zinc and cadmium are in the same group on the periodic table, contain the same common oxidation state (+2), and when ionized are almost the same size. Due to these similarities, cadmium can replace zinc in many biological systems, in particular, systems that contain softer ligands such as sulfur.

Cadmium can bind up to ten times more strongly than zinc in certain biological systems, and is notoriously difficult to remove. In addition, cadmium can replace magnesium and calcium in certain biological systems, although these replacements are rare.

Tobacco smoking is the most important single source of cadmium exposure in the general population. It has been estimated that about 10% of the cadmium content of a cigarette is inhaled through smoking. The absorption of cadmium from the lungs is much more effective than that from the gut, and as much as 50% of the cadmium inhaled via cigarette smoke may be absorbed.

On average, smokers have 4-5 times higher blood cadmium concentrations and 2-3 times higher kidney cadmium concentrations than non-smokers.

Cadmium has no constructive purpose in the human body. It, and its compounds, are extremely toxic even in low concentrations, and will bioaccumulate in organisms and ecosystems.

Also, my understanding is that cadmium increases the toxicity of mercury....and when both are present in the gut it can be very damaging to the intestinal lining.

I had to stop smoking because yeah....my body could no longer handle those toxins. My bucket was already overflowing. :(

Ok so I ordered the AFP Pepitzyde- from the place rachel orders her enzymes so I wil be trying it and preying that it helps because eating for me is really hard right now.

Mia,

AFP Peptizyde by itself wont help with alot of different foods. That enzyme is formulated specifically for breaking down gluten and casein....but it also breaks down other proteins as well. It has high amounts of DPPIV....which is necessary for digesting gluten and casein.

So it wont help with carbs, fats, fruits, veggies, lactose, etc....for all of those other things you would need additional enzymes.

I'm off the gluten free/casein free diet so thats why I chose the Peptizyde...but I also take other enzymes.

If you're not on any other type of enzyme I would highly recommend it to help with the other foods. :)

Im thinking i should order some zeolite.

I think that might be a good choice for you since you still have mercury fillings.

I think it worked wonders for Lisa because she does still have fillings and her system was constantly overwhelmed....so I imagine the zeolite is addressing alot of that toxicity that is circulating in the bloodstream.

I havent had dramatic results like that but I also dont have my fillings anymore and I think I've greatly reduced my exposure to toxins in the past few years by choosing organic foods, avoiding chemicals, quit smoking, etc.

But zeolite gets to the mercury, arsenic, cadmium, etc.

I'll probably be taking it for awhile since I know I'm still toxic with this stuff. I seem to tolerate it really well so far. The only downside is the cost. :(

Rachel this was my cadium score

Cadmium < 0.009 < 0.10

Was this low cause i was off cigs at this time for a couple of months. Or could it been low and that is why my calcium and magnesium were so high? Hmm makes me wonder now!

Its amazing to me that nothing came up last time on ART--how could this not be a stressor to my system?

Sherry,

ART works in layers. If you have other issues which are more significant stressors....those will show up first. Obviously parasites would be a stressor to anyone's system.....but if there are other things which are causing greater stress...the parasites may not show up until some of the other issues are dealt with.

I'm not sure which things were coming up for you in ART....but if parasites werent showing up it probably just means the things that were showing up need to be addressed first.

For example if metals are an issue....they may be a much bigger stressor. In that case even if parasites were to show up you may not be able to treat them effectively as long as the metals are still an issue. The immune system would be too overwhelmed to keep parasites in check.

Aside from one tapeworm....parasites havent shown up for me in ART or in regular muscle testing but it was acknowledged that my gut is a major area of stress....and most likely parasites are an issue. They just arent showing up yet. I think Dr. K. just automatically treats the parasites whether they show up or not.

Its hard to say Paula.

I think its more common for mercury to replace calcium and magnesium. I would tend to blame mercury for that....and it sounds like cadmium is more likely to replace zinc.

Its really difficult to know for sure when it comes to this stuff but in my opinion when our bucket is overflowing its pretty much everything that is contributing...not just one or two things.

I belong to a health club that is a national chain. They have a magazine they send out to all their members. I've been in contact with them hoping they could use me for a success story so that word could get out about Lyme Disease. Well, I heard back today that they are running my story next June! It may be a success story, or they may do a feature on Lyme Disease. :D YAY!

Cool Carla!! You're gonna be a celebrity! :D

I want an autographed copy...ok?? :P

Rachel, how are you doing with the zeolite so far?

So far so good. I havent had any really obvious changes yet. Maybe a little more energy at times (like bouncing off the walls :lol: ) but havent noticed too much overall.

Brainfog isnt a big issue for me unless I eat certain foods..and yeah...that problem hasnt gone away yet. I tested it out already. :ph34r:

I got my zeolite today....

Rachel how are you doing on it? How many drops are you doing?

I was thinking i would start with 3 drops 2 times per day? Lisa do you think that is too small a dose?

I'm doing 30 drops a day. 10 drops 3x a day.

I jumped right into it but you may want to NOT follow my lead and just ease your way into it. :)

How many drops are you taking Rachel? Are you still on 30 or did you lower to dose?

Yeah some kids with autism get a little antsy on it to.

Oh I was going to ask you what your lot number on the bottom of your bottle was?

Toxic

I don't think i am toxic..

Personally, I think we are all toxic as long as we're all living on the same toxic planet.

I dont think a person can be found that doesnt test positive for all kinds of toxins...heavy metals, pesticides, dioxin, PCB's, etc. We're all exposed to it.

Check out the amount of toxins found in the umbilical cords of newborn babaies in this study. Its shocking!

I'm still on 30 drops. :)

I dont know for sure if it was the zeolite that gave me energy because I was eating different foods too. Sometimes when my diet is really restricted I have less energy so that once I start adding in new foods I get more energy.....even if the foods arent necessarily good for me.

It kind of sucks because I definately benefit from having more nutrients in my diet....but then since I'm reacting to the food chemicals (phenols and oxalates) I cant continue eating the foods. :(

Heres the lot #

I'm doing well on the diet, best thing I have done in a very long time. I don't have any food reactions, I've already lost weight and overall fluid retention (still have some to go though), generally a lot less bloating and stomach issues.

Awesome Julie!! This is really good news. :)

Hey Waiora's coming out with a new machine. It is a biofeedback machine and when you put your hand on it, it's suppose to read how much mercury, arsenic and other toxins are in your body. I wonder if it would really work that good.

It also tells you what nutrients you need and such. They say they work. But I'll have to see. I think if I put my hand on a machine like that IT might start to smoke.:)

I think if you dont blow the whole thing up all by yourself...I can definately finish the job. :P

Poor Biofeedback machine. :)

Oh my goodness. No joke. What if we were to put our hand's on it together? I wonder if it were to start shaking and stuff.

We would Rachel the machine with our toxins. :lol:

yeah i know is hould be taking something for the other foods but I actually have been trying a little gluten and having mixed reactions I really would love to add it since I react so badly to most gluten free food so thats why I really wanted to try the peptizyde.

Actually, I've been talking to someone else who is also interested in going. There is a mother over there with a child now, so we're waiting to see how this one turns out. G's report on her and her husband is good, but they've also been treating with Dr. K for so long .... I'm wanting to see how it works with someone coming off abx.

I hear A.R. (the nurse) is interested, according to one of the threads on LN ... I do not have that info first hand, so I don't know how accurate it is.

The problem is, it's not FDA or UL approved, so can't be imported yet. People can bring it over if they go to Germany for treatment because it bypasses needing that approval. So, it will be a while before it can be brought here ... most likely.

Cool Carla!! You're gonna be a celebrity! :D

I want an autographed copy...ok?? :P

:lol: :lol: I'm excited about it ... I didn't think they'd go for it. :D

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
