I had an awesome day today. I had my kids play hookey from school and we did arts and crafts, and did some spring cleaning. It was so nice to have lots of energy to spend with them. Two of them were kinda sick, so we had a somewhat legit excuse to skip school lol.

It sounds like a fun day Paula! :)

I was kinda wanting to play hookey myself this morning. :P

I never got the Lugol's....because my doctor gave me something else he wants me to take. I'm thinking I'd do better with something that is NOT oral....but he gave me tablets. <_<

I dont know how well its going to go over....I have to get desensitized to them before I can start. They have all that extra junk that I dont want...vegetable stearates and some other things that scare the heck outta me. :ph34r:

Why cant anything just be PURE! Thats the biggest reason that I cant tolerate any supplements. :(

Rachel,

I'd be leery about the supp's too.

I couldn't resist! :lol: The call of the Reese's peanut butter cup... or the Kit Kat... or the string cheese. :lol: I did eventually get an upset stomach, but not brain fog! :P

But I will be a good girl from now on. Unhuh. :ph34r:

I got the results of my son's Stool Analysis today. He has a parasite called Blastocystis Hominis. His bile acids were a little low but everything else looked okay. His e-coli bacteria was out of range with the acidophilus and bifidus. Basically, he had too much e-coli.

So, we are going to do a parasitic cleanse and then re-introduce the good bacteria.

I am hoping this is the answer to his low weight - even though he eats ALL the time - and distended belly.

We shall see.....

April,

Im glad you got some answers for your son. Im sure the parastie cleanse will help him out alot.

I'm thinking this would be a large portion of the trouble.

Wow Scott and mojojojo went to the medicine fair that happened to be this week and they had dark field and bradford microscopy done on their blood and they could see the borrelia being eaten by the white blood cells, something they attribute to the photon therapy. They have photos on their blogs.

Hello everyone! Long time since I've posted.

I got iron results last Monday and guess what????!!!! My ferritin went from 5 to 17 in 4 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In all 4 years I've been fighting this iron problem, that has NEVER happened! It's looking like I won't need iron IV's. I go back in 6 weeks to have my numbers checked again. :D:P:)

I think I know what has caused the change, but not 100% sure. I don't really care, as long as it stays that way! :)

I am in the middle of taking my GED, tonight is the last night. I am also still looking for a nannying job (can't remember if I said that on here before...). I have another interview today. It's really nice to be able to get on with my life! :)

That's all for now. Just all around good stuff. :D

About the blogs from Germany, here they are:

Open Original Shared Link

they have also been linked to on Connie's blog Lyme Bytes.

I had scio treatment today, and my energy or resilience or what it was is up to 90, was 51 last time, and 32 the first time. About a week ago it felt like a ball was travelling across my colon and I had to go to the bathroom, and that something needed to be expelled. ( the machine said parasites both times..) today it did not complain about parasites. Afterwards the detox foot bath water was dark dark yelow or brown with lots of black specks. Seems to me like some parasites were expelled and heavy metals and other things were detoxed just like was discussed here before.

The scio is working on my spine every time too.

Like with any other treatment, homeopathics, bionic, anything, blockages in the spine must be released. By chiropractic or any other means. so that energy can flow and treatments can work.

I read today something that makes sense: do not dry your hair in the evening with electric hair dryer. Not after seven at night. The electromagnetic fields cause the pineal gland to just stop making melatonin for the rest of the night. Sharp light, blue light and electromagetic fieds do that. (it even says so in the papers written after the nurses health study. they found a lot of breast cancer and low melatonin related to night work, bright lights and electromagnetic fieds)

Do not charge the cell phone in the bedroom either.

Oral magnesium feeds lyme and other critters. Use cream (or epsom baths?) or IV. Says so in a pdf from Klinhardt amongst other things.

I wonder if it is possible to make magnesium cream (I am in Europe and know of no magnesium cream)

I need oral mag for bowel issues. A bath or cream won't cut it.

Me too. I have been wondering what to do about that? I had weened off to taking IM magnesium, but the return of the big C has me back on lots of oral mag.

Nora this is quite interesting. Sounds a lot like some of what I have read about the bionic 880 results.

Tonight i decided to be brave and try some cheese, I only ate a veryt little bit, but i had no reaction at all. Vut the oddest thing opf it all, was it tasted terrible. I realized that i dont miss cheese after all. Of course i bet if i had an reaction i would be wanting the stuff lol.

I have had 3 awesome days in a row. I have started back on charcoal and drinking lemon water and it has helped with more energy. Today I am going back to detox baths and i hope it contines making me happy. I am slowly adding stuff back and see how i react. I will start with herbs and vitamins once my thyroin, adrenal and insulin test are back.

Dear Everyone,

I just now got the chance to come back on here! I am trying to get things lined up for obtaining my driving permit, get my hair done, and a variety of other chores. Hopefully, everything will get done with energy and time to spare. ;) My best friend wants me to come and see her new home on Saturday evening, so I am trying to get all of this done by then. Being sick has made it difficult.

I am not sure what is going on with my stomach. It could be too much chocolate, too much caffeine, too much bacon, or perhaps the yeast. This makes me worry about Saturday, since I already have plans. The bentonite clay is another possibility. Stupid body! :angry: My computer was extremely out of whack from a program that was supposed to repair issues, not make them. :rolleyes:

Whatever you do, avoid downloading any of those. They will damage your computer. Dad fixed it, so it is back to running as badly as it did prior to the installation. :lol: What a pathetic upgrade this was. I lost my place on here, due to my computer. I should be able to catch-up on my reading a little at a time.

You will be interested to know I visited the Quantum Fingers site. It appeared quite accurate. You take a test online, and they send results later. The person writing said I scored only a 2 on mercury, and 10 or above is a concern. :) The scale goes from 10 to 100. Lyme is very likely an issue, though.

Sincerely,

Jin

Hi Guys

Just stopping in

ran across this article this morning, talks about austism in the pacific north west in relation to rain....could it be the mercury being washed out of the air? Just a thought....

Confused I have read that Red Wine, Purple Grape Juice, Garlic, and cayane can help thin the blood naturally. I can feel a difference if I drink 100% juice purple/concord grape juice or garlic sups. I guess the problem here is that juice is a no no for those on SCD and cayane is a nightshade. Just wanted tp pass the info along.

Rachel thanks for the info, there is so much cancer & autoimmune problems in my family I am sure I have some sort of genetic blip that can explain alot of the problems I have had. We are so lucky to live in a time where they are able to test our genes!

have a nice day all!

Juice is fine on SCD. You just have to confirm there is no added sugar.

I'm thinking my constipation issues might be caused in part by magnesium deficiency. Well.....probably a BIG part. Yeah....it really has taken me ALL THIS TIME to figure that out. :P

Anyone remember how I became "regular" when I was eating all that chocolate ice cream? Then when I gave up the ice cream I went back to having issues with "c" again.

Then I discovered the cholcolate chips....and I became regular again. :huh:

Too many chocolate chips caused other issues though....possibly from other ingredients.

Then I dealt with the "c" all over again...UNTIL the chocolate brownies. I really didnt have too many problems with the brownies...I was doing well AND I was regular again! Totally regular for the entire time I ate those brownies.

Now that they changed the ingredients and I cant eat them I've got major "c" again. <_< It doesnt matter what I try to eat....it doesnt get better.

I could easily go a week or even longer without having a bm. Today I realized its been 4 days....and I wasnt feeling good....kind of grouchy and depressed. I ate a couple of handfuls of chocolate chips on my lunch and 10 minutes later I had a bm. :o It never fails!!

The chocolate chips dont contain dairy like the ice cream and brownies....so I think it has to be the chocolate alone.

I know chocolate has magnesium...but how much does it have?? I looked it up and the amount is pretty significant...it contains more magnesium than any other food.

Is this why I become regular when I eat alot of chocolate?? Anyone think thats possible?? :unsure:

By the way....magnesium supplements (the one that I could tolerate) did not produce these same results and I remained constipated despite taking large doses. Dont know how well they were absorbed and I dont know if it was possibly the form of magnesium (I believe it was magnesium malate) but it didnt work.

What the heck is it about the chocloate?? :huh:

I'm gonna have to go back on chocolate so I'm trying different things to see if I come across something I can tolerate on a daily basis like I did with the brownies.

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Oh yeah....next topic. :P

My genetic test should be here tomorrow or Sat....and my enzymes are being shipped as well. I still have to set up my appt. for BioSET but hopefully will be able to do it soon (not sure how easy it is to get an appt. and I'm seeing someone new). I should be seeing Dr. P. again in a few weeks...unless for some reason it takes longer than that for my genetic results to come back.

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Oh...and if its the mag. in the chocolate thats moving things along...could it really happen so quickly? This is not the first time that I've used handfuls of chocolate chips to relieve constipation...and it always works pretty quickly. However, I dont continue to have bm's every single time I eat the chocolate chips. After the first time...I just become "regular"....about once a day as long as I keep the chocolate in my diet.

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated.  This includes gluten-free bread.  You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly.  Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well.  Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings.  Nightshade vegetables (eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers) are excluded.  They contain alkaloids that promote a leaky gut and inflammation.  Dairy and eggs are also eliminated.   I know it sounds really stark, but eating this way really improved my health.  The AIP diet can be low in nutrients, and, with malabsorption, it's important to supplement vitamins and minerals.

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back.  My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time.  But I passed on them. 
    • klmgarland
      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure! Thank you kitty kitty   I am going to look this diet up right away.  And read the paleo diet and really see if I can make this a better situation then it currently is.
