This is the largest community that I know, so I am reaching out to you all... I don't know this girl or her family and friends, but it struck me really hard when I heard the news. I cry every single day for her and pray for a speedy recovery. As many of you probably know, my husband and I run a business revolving around micro sprint racecars. This past weekend a 12 year old girl, Harli White, was burned very badly in a micro sprint. She recieved 3rd degree burns over almost 1/2 her body the newspapers say. She was pulled from the burning car by another racer, just a kid himself. I am crying as I write this because it could have been any number of my customers, friends, or family. My brother races the same basic thing that she did as do many of my friends.

Thanks for posting. This is so heartbreaking. I hate to hear of anyone suffering, but when it's a child it's so hard to take.

She will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Angie,

I'll keep little Harli in my thoughts and prayers. This is so sad, and I know it must be difficult for you to hear hitting so close to home.

Take care :)

It was in Oklahoma. She is now at a burn center in Texas though. So no, definitely not local to us, but very close to home for me...

Angie,

I will pray for Harli and for her recovery.

IKWYM about that hitting very close to home for you. I feel the same way for a local family here. Last summer, a 6 year old girl was in the kiddie pool at a golf club. She sat on the uncovered, or defective, drain cover. It SUCKED her intestines out! Related to that, she ended up needing a liver transplant and developed some rare form of cancer. She passed away several weeks ago! :( I pray for her family often. I just cannot imagine.

On a happy note, that is the CUTEST picture of Annika!! It should be on the front of a tire ad, lol!

OMG, Cheri, that is horrible, just horrible! What's even worse is that things like these could be prevented, both your story and mine. :( I will pray for her family to get through such a tough time.

And on a happier note, thank you! :) She LOVES sitting in those tires! lol

This is the latest report I have on Harli. It was posted on one of my racing message boards. Its from a few days ago. Thank you for your prayers.

Twelve-year-old Harli White was carrying on the family tradition Saturday when she drove in her first sprint car race at the I-44 Speedway in southwest Oklahoma City.

Then something went wrong.

Now, Harli has having to prove her mettle.

Harli suffered third-degree burns on most of her body after the car she was driving caught fire on the track. She's hospitalized in a Galveston, Texas hospital, recovering from one of many surgeries she will have to undergo in the next few weeks. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, family members said.

Her father, who drives stock cars at local tracks, pulled her from the burning car Saturday evening as a crowd of racing fans looked on. Charlie White suffered burns on his left hand, said Koye Baade, Harli's aunt. The raceway is located at 4100 SW 149 St.

Harli was taken to the OU Medical Center on Saturday night and then flown to the Shriners' Burn Hospital for Children about 4 a.m. Sunday.

"They're just trying to keep her out of pain," said Misti Southern, Harli's aunt. "She's doing all right. She's a tough little booger."

Harli was alert and talked to her family shortly after her first surgery, but doctors are keeping her sedated to help her body heal from massive burns, Southern said.

Meanwhile, family and community members are looking for ways to help. Members of the family's church, First Baptist Church of Lindsay, took up a collection Sunday morning to assist with medical bills.

Family members are also selling T-shirts to help raise money for Harli's medical bills. At the One Way Print and Stitch in Purcell, Harli's aunt and grandmother were printing shirts today that said, "God Has the Power, So Pray," to benefit the White family.

"We're printing up 500, we think we'll have those sold," said Baade, who owns the print shop with Harli's grandmother, Pat Wagstaff. "The Lindsay community is so wonderful and supportive."

The shirts are being printed in a variety of colors

Thank you for sharing the link. She is very loved and it sounds like things are going as well as they can. Burns like hers are a life altering experience and the support she has from the racing community and her friends and family are wonderful to see and will help her get through this.

She will remain of course in my prayers, as she has been.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
