    Just to clarify: I am not anti alt-med. I am anti alt-med abuse. Kinda like I am anti med-abuse (like docs who give everyone who's got the sniffles antibiotics to shut them up, UGH I HATE THAT. Or who hand out STRONG antidepressants like they're candy). I take a snotload of supplements for seizure control (add on to meds), mitochondrial support, and because...

    Well duh. Everyone jumps on me so I really want to come back. No wonder newbies don't speak up, if you treat everyone with an opinion like this. Kassiane google me.

    I mean, that I research. It's called patient education research. Essentially, I read the medical literature, and the pseudoscience, and the stuff trying to pass off as one or the other. Then I translate it for people who haven't read medical dictionaries for fun (leave it laying around, I'll read it), write articles, et cetera. Help people understand the...

    I guess we can call me the end to the sunshine enema. Because I joined a while ago, and posted in all of 3 threads. Why? Because I had the answer, not the question. I'm not new to celiac (2 yrs, and restricted diets before that), and I've been being paid for research for going on 7 years. I turn 24 next month. Science is what I believe in. I quackbusted...

    Really, there is no such thing as adrenal fatigue. They work or they dont (which can be either right in the adrenals-Addison's Disease, which turns you orange, or in the pituitary, which makes you very pale. They both make you deathly bone tired, unable to get out of BED tired, weight flies off you, hyperallergic, hair falls out, and achey as all get out...

    ...You even have your CATS on gluten-free food b/c of cross contamination (it solidified THEIR poo too!) ...You swear that "Wheat Montana" store with free wifi was put there to taunt you ...You can PRONOUNCE Kinnikinnick. ...You've ever watched your own -scopy, and asked the doc to point out anything cool. ...You can say without a doubt that you...

    If the fillings are really bad, like say bad enough to let crud underneath them, I'd bet cavity under cavity before mercury...though depending on age of the fillings who knows? And a blood or stool test is 'better' than a hair test, though hair tests are good preliminaries (since hair is contaminated by outside influences and shampooed and stuff). And...

    I still maintain that heavy metal poisoning is overdiagnosed and over'treated'. If you go to a toxicologist the cure is as bad as the disease (some of that may have been that I had undx'd adrenal failure, but not all of it). The machine dentists use to say someone has toxic levels of amalgams is made for a room size, not a mouth size. Am I saying that...

    ARCHIVED Favorite Sports

    Kassiane replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Sports and Fitness

    I don't like watching sports except gymnastics and ice skating. I am SO way more a participant. I do gymnastics (highest floor start value in my gym, but lowest on bars, whee), aikido, have attempted basketball but am too short, and will give most anything a shot at least once. Too hyper to just sit and watch though, so I don't have teams or anything...

    -You've ever sweettalked exhibitors with safe food at conferences into giving you their leftovers (and ended up leaving with donuts and wannabe Oreos and animal crackers and cereal...) -You've ever dumped someone's food in the trash since they destroyed YOUR dinner with cross contamination. -You know how to explain cross contamination to children ...

    I think mercury toxicity is overdiagnosed, honestly. And I say that as someone who had genuine, the numbers in my blood (without a 'challenge', chelator challenge numbers are useless) up through the roof, heavy metal poisoning. This was post celiac by quite a bit. Heavy metal poisoning does some things. It makes you mean and stupid. It makes your joints...
