I am pooped today - not enough sleep and cotton balls in my head, I think. Will write no more as have virtually nothing intelligent to say. Harumph. ;)

Susan,

Me to. Seth decided to have a rough night so I was up reading until 1, when he finally settled into a deep enough sleep for me to put up the book and reading light. He likes me to read when he goes to sleep, so I usually have to if he totally wakes himself up in the middle of the night.

Well, the only thing I'm having a problem avoiding on my intolerance list is garlic powder. It is right on the line between no reaction and low, so I'm hoping it won't matter.

Had more chocolate today......once that is gone I'm going to have to reconsider having it. Don't need all the sugar, but it sure tastes good.

Oh Andrea, I woke up about the time you went to bed, lol. Had a "bad" dream that someone was taking my computer (at work) with the managing partner standing right there and I said something like why are you taking my computer, and they said "oh, do you need it?", LOL. Woke me up out of a dead sleep!!!! Holy cow, if they took my computer I couldn't talk to you all, lol. :lol: Anyway, couldn't get back to sleep. :lol::blink:

Girls, I am not doing well right now. I am soo lightheaded and feeling a bit weak, but I don't think it has anything to do with the dentist appointment, which went fairly well. I WAS kind of nervous and anxious but now I'm thinking that had more to do with an energy bar I ate about an hour before I left work and I THINK is what is making me feel weird--I think it must have had some B or multivitamins in it or something--those always seem to bother me and always leave the telltale yellow pee that I had this afternoon, lol. (No Donna, TMI, TMI.)

Anyway, the doctor and the girls in the office are REALLY nice and joked around with me so I felt more comfortable, lol. I go back on November 8 for the permanent crown and to start the process on the upper right side. Then I'm going to wait until after the first of the year to get the others done.

They used good safety protocol...they used a dam, good suction, kept it cool, and had a HUGE vacuum right at my nose/mouth, lol. That thing was big...and it was vented somewhere else...don't know where, but the air didn't stay in the room, lol. :o Plus I had a nice view...there is a window (skylight really I guess, but looks like a window with blinds on it and everything) right over the chair so I got to look at the pretty blue sky the whole time.

Sure enough under the crown was a TON of amalgam, so it's a good bet that the other 5 crowns have tons of amalgam under them too since the same dentist did all of them.

I asked his assistant what they use instead of amalgam and she said it's a composite that he put together after trying several different mixtures and that this was the one that had the best results as far as compatibility. She says they've not had any problems with compatibility yet.

Well, this was just a low speed driveby...going to brush my teeth, wash my face and lay on the couch until bedtime, lol.

Donna,

Your appointment sounds fantastic. Could you pm me what he charges for the removal and placing crowns. I called my dentist and the gal there told me he usually shaves the tooth enough.

Get some rest and relaxation time. Hope you feel better in a bit. :)

Donna, I am so happy you are starting to make some progress, esp in liking this office and feeling comfortable with them..that makes such a big difference! But I'm sorry you aren't feeling too well tonight. Hope you get a good nights sleep and wake up feeling more refreshed.

xoxo

That was a driveby Donna? :lol::lol::lol:

I am so glad you had such a good experience with your first amalgam removal, if "good" and "amalgam removal" can be used in the same sentence :unsure::lol: ....It sounds like your dentist, and the technicians/assistants, were really good to you, taking all the precautions with the removal process, and the set up of the office sounds nice.

I wouldn't be surprised if the anesthesia was the cause of you not feeling well, I never felt well when I got shot up in the dentist chair :blink:

One quadrant down, how many to go??

Hi Andrea! Sorry about the chocolate, I know you love it. If it is any consolation I am eating like poop lately. I think my reaction threw me for a loop and shook me up and I just reach for all the things I shouldn't have. <_<

Ya, I saw your other thread. :ph34r:

Sometimes we just gotta do what we want to do......unless it's something dangerous. I was going to add or bad for our health/well being, but then that would negate what I just said. :rolleyes:

:lol: Laughing about Donna's dream....OMG...I would probably jolt right out of bed if someone were taking the computer away!! I might even scream a little....wake up the whole house. :o

Thats awesome that the removal went well....sorry you're not feeling good though. :(

Yup....the dentist is good...I probably sat in that same chair 2 years ago....and look at me now!! :lol::lol:

Just kidding...I'm actually MUCH better now than I was back then. :)

Wow....a bunch of amalgam under your crowns!! :o

It really could be mercury toxicity for you...werent the crowns gold?? Oooooh...thats alot of mixed metals. <_<

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is the answer and that you get better. :)

This was just a drive-by...I gotta go to WF to get some ice cream now. :)

Believe it or not....I'm getting kind of sick of ice cream....not really "craving" it but still eating it by the pints. Dont get me wrong....its still yummy....just not craving it....guess I've had my fill. Plus its not summer anymore and I get cold. :(

I'll be back later to let you guys know about my appt. Still kind of feels a little like "hocus pocus" to me....but I'm putting all my faith into it and I BELIEVE it will work. :D

Ya, I saw your other thread. :ph34r:

by the way, i know i was a late addition to the rachelville community, but is there any way fo me to get a "title" so I can be official ;)

Laura....a title.....stroking chin like mad scientist......pondering....my first thought was, no, she is too TIRED and TOO sick for a title/job right now....might add extra stress.....will have to think. Julie is quite good at assigning people jobs. :)

Rachel! So many emoticons in your post! yay! BTW what is your favorite ice cream, the one you always eat from WF?

Donna - hope you feel better and THANK GOD it was only a dream! :o

Andrea - is real garlic a problem for you? am wondering if that would be worse or better than powder.

Ugh. stomach is rumbling and there may be some GBB (gas bomb bloat)...... :huh: Sometimes it really is good that I only live with dogs. :lol::lol::lol:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RINNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the good wishes on the grumpy frumpies. I started a new med this week that is helping with the sleep but my joints are in PAIN. Have been for the last three months or so. i do have an appt with my muscle/skeletal guy and I am going to talk to him about Lyme/Igenex testing. It would explain a lot. I was looking at secondary and tertiary sytmptoms for Lyme's and it made so much sense.

Donna- Get that stuff outta your mouth! Ii am so happy for you that you are getting those fillings out. I know it's not fun, but in the long run :D

Laura- That info on EOS was excellent. Thank you!

Rachel- Yeah- bubbly! :D

SusieQ- We love you! :wub:

Everyone else- hugs, B

Ok...got back from my first treatment. The lady didnt tell me my overall toxicity score this time. :(

I asked her how long does it take the score to come down. She said it averages about 3 weeks or so for the score to come down 5 points. That means in 3 weeks...I could be a 6!! :D

Today she was working on some of the things that arent functioning properly. One of the main things is the methionine pathway...apparantly it is essential for binding with toxins in the liver. If your immune system develops a sensitivity to methionine (which mine did.....along with everything else) then the liver cant use it to bind w/ toxins.

The methionine pathway is very complex and involves the use of B vitamins, hormones, minerals, mineral salts and fatty acids. However, four our purposes here, we are referring to your body's sensitivity to methionine and its metabolites or componenets in these complex biochemical pathways used principally in the liver. The more methionine metabolites one is sensitive to the less efficient the liver is at detoxification. The longer one has suffered from allergies, the more likely this pathway has become dysfunctional

So tonight I guess she was starting to de-sensitize the components that I react to so that the pathway will start to become functional again. :unsure: Thats my interpretation anyway.

By de-sensitizing those componenets that use methionine and L-methionine we will improve your body's methylation ability and reduce side effects from detoxification. Your body has to detoxify everyday. Methylation is essential to break down hormones, estrogens, vitamins, undigested food, microbial fragments, drugs, chemicals and other toxins that all need to be eliminated by the body through the liver. The less effecient the liver is at this process the more likely you will succumb to a chronic immune disorder, chronic illness from infection due to a weakend toxic immune system, or cancer as a result of free-radical damage to cells from these toxins.

I also have problems with the Sulfur Pathway but she hasnt started treatment on that one yet. There is another main detox pathway (Glutathione pathway) but I dont seem to have a problem with that one. :)

The treatment was I guess like accupressure or something. It had something to do with electromagnetic fields and then also she did some stuff on my back while I did breathing excersices. Then I had to lay in the room....resting...listening to mellow music for about 15 minutes. It reminded me of when I went to acupuncture....they leave you in the room...all relaxed (even though you have needles sticking out everywhere <_< ) listening to soft music until the alarm goes off. Thats what it was like but I still dont know how its suppossed to work. I didnt ask her this time. :ph34r:

Is there an explanation for how acupuncture works.....or does it just work for "unknown" reasons?? :unsure:

Well...suppossedely the de-sensitization is lasting....usually permanent...meaning the sensitivities wont return.

This is what it says about excreting heavy metals...which is one of the main reasons for getting these pathways working again.

In all cases, in order to excrete heavy metals one needs to be able to:

1) digest and use vitamins, especially B vitamins

2) digest and use minerals and mineral salts, especially sulfur

3) digest and metabolize fatty acids

4) metabolize glutathione

5) not be immunologically sensitive to heavy metals

6) not be immunologically sensitive to DMPS, DMSA or lyposomal glutathione

If you have problems in any of the above, we will de-sensitize the body and treat the metabolic pathway to improve your body's ability to digest and use these metabolites. Once this occurs, we will then send you back to your chelation Dr. with reccommendation on dosage. We will tell you when you're ready to do this and advise your chelation Dr. accordingly.

So...I guess I'm getting a clearer picture of what the point of all this is...I just hope it works. I have problems with nearly everything so I'm not sure how long it will take till I'm ready for chelation. :unsure:

That will be question #1 for next week. I can also go twice a week if I wanna speed things up but for now I'm just gonna go once a week.

Laura, I think "Rachelville Resident Happy Girl" would work. :)

:lol:

Rinne...thats a good one and it really fits her too! :D

She is the Rachelville Happy Girl :lol::lol:

and yeah...I still need to find out about CHEESE. :huh:

Rachel! So many emoticons in your post! yay! BTW what is your favorite ice cream, the one you always eat from WF?

YAY for happy emoticons!! I'm glad I got my emotions back...the good ones that is! :P

Noone wants to know what kind of dark hole I sank into the last few days. :ph34r:

It was NOT pretty for anyone involved....but I'm better now. I think it was all that dang floor wax last week....poisoning me and clogging up my liver detox pathways. What else is new... :rolleyes:

Fav. ice cream??? Well dunno if its my favorite...but its the only flavors I think I can eat and the only brand and so I just eat them and love them and dont think of all the gazillion other flavors out there that I cant have. :)

I eat Stonyfeild Organic Javalanche and After Dark Chocolate....did I mention I eat them by the pint?? :lol:

So many appt.'s lately......I'm so excited to hear all the scientificness! :D

Bev....when is yours coming? I hope you can find out if you can get the Igenix test.

Noooo, the cheese was bad, very bad, a lapse in judgement on my part. But pretty much all week it has been one bad food choice after another for me :ph34r:

Acupuncture is all about balancing Qi, or energy, flowing through the body. According to chinese medicine, illness sets in when Qi is blocked, or deficient, or excessive. There are all these meridians, or pathways, that the energy flows through, and different points coincide with all the different organs and systems, and etc. That's the basic explanation anyway.

I know you don't feel totally convinced that this bioset is for you, or for real, or worth it. Maybe if you just think of it as a supplement to all the other things you are doing, or another tool in addition to, it might set better until you decide if you want to proceed with it.

That sounds good for Laura, our very own "Happy Girl" in Rachelville :lol:

I'm actually not feeling bad about it....I just dont know how it works. :huh: I already told Dave I'm gonna go through with it. I'm doing this 100%....I've committed myself. :D

It would be nice to understand the scientificness behind it though....at least it would satisfy my ever-inquisitive brain.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
