  1. I haven't posted here in a while but thought I might chime in. If you have only eliminated gluten then there are a host of other things that may be contributing to your fatigue. Some have been mentioned. I would suggest candida as a possibility. It's hard to test for it but I know how much it effects me. I would recommend a great book I just finished reading...
  2. Happy birthday!

  3. Stay the course! Diet is not the only component of your recovery. Stress reduction, sunlight or vitamin D exposure, exercise until you sweat, and some more time. I would highly rec. sunlight. Vitamin D was the final part of my recovery.
  4. I personally didn't do the SCD but I did do my own version of it which was to eat only foods found in nature that you could eat in their near natural state. It, along with some other therapies, worked. I just had a bagel for breakfast because it's all I could find this morning. Is that a good choice for someone with the propensity to have gastro neuro issues...
  5. Have you ever checked out www.dogtorj.net ? He also helped fill in some gaps for me. Everywhere you look there are people with answers. Michael Pollan, Barry Sears, Dean Ornish and Robert Atkins not to mention the myriad of others like Gottschall, Gates and all of the other "fringe" people with opinions on how to cure cancer by adjusting the body's PH...
  6. I finally bought Gottschall's book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle. It's terrific. Full of good, common sense advice and explanations with scientific references. I was expecting a low carb diet book so I never looked into this before. It has added another dimension to my understanding of the role our digestive system plays in our health.
  7. There is a one hour video at www.mercola.com regarding vitmin D and the role it plays in hundreds of health problems. It is worth watching. You've gotten some good advice. A strict diet that includes some probitics and some light exercise (enough to sweat) and sunlight as well as a reduction in your stress levels are all factors I would consider in trying...
  8. I would keep him off milk, wheat and soy. You are not a bad parent if you don't give your kid a creamy white liquid to drink several times a day. I know from experience you will feel like one but rest assured you are not. Your child also needs enough sunshine and probiotics to begin the gut healing process. I gauge my children's health based on what's...
  9. Hey Rachel Thought this link might be interesting to you. It talks alot about detox pathways. Open Original Shared Link
  10. some more reading from NPR. check out related stories at the bottom of the page Open Original Shared Link
  11. Just read this. This is the first article I've read that put probiotics and sunlight together as treatment. Speaking from my own experience this is exactly what has worked for me.
  12. Open Original Shared Link I was listening to NPR yesterday and the Science Friday show. They were discussing bacteria and bleach. The human body apparently makes its own bleach. The science is interesting but I posted the link because there are several other stories on the site that discuss bacteria and illnesses. The other interesting story discusses...
  13. I meant me leaning towards mold. So what toxins are we talking about that effect the child's brain and how or do we know? What is the method that mercury burdens the childs brain to the point he or she no longer functions normally or does the mercury suppress the immune system and other toxins effect the brain?
  14. So why the relationship to rainy climates? I think we each tend to lean towards the thing we suffer from or know the most about as the cause. I would argue mycotoxins from mold are the determining factor but it would only be a guess. What we need is an economist like the guy that wrote Freakonomics to study these diseases. They make amazing conclusions from...
  15. Open Original Shared Link Some of the theories are interesting but there are a couple of simpler possible explanations. My gut tells me lack of sunlight (recognized in the article) and exposure to mold would be the likeliest culprits. At least the researchers are getting closer....maybe.
  16. Off the side of the box it says " 100% vegan. no dairy, soy or gluten, non-GMO, chemical free, blister packed to ensure integrity. Refrigeration not required" try the chrons website to purchase it but there are several others.
  17. I found a great probiotic for me at least. Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic Plus 12. This stuff is magic as far as I am concerned. I have tried alot of probiotics but this one is working really well. It doesn't even need to be refrigerated. Between this stuff and getting some sun I am feallng pretty good these days. I hope some of you find the same success......
  18. Vitamin D suit - That's very funny
  19. You are correct about diet and cancer - I believe there is a link. You can find plenty of supporting evidence about this and it's relation to the sun on the mercola website. Couple diet with the way we accidentally expose ourselves to too much sun and get burned and I think that is where you get skin cancer. The trick is to ease into the sun with limited...
  20. Open Original Shared Link I saw this article this morning and wanted to share it with you. Part of my recovery has been regular exposure to the sun. I can't explain why but I believe that it has a soothing effect on my gut. This article doesn't provide any new information but at least it connects the dots between autoimmune issues and vitamin D deficiency...
  21. The first detox I did highly recommended not using deodorant so I went without for a time. Oddly enough I didn't need any when I was strictly following the diet. Now that I am nowhere near as strict I need the deodorant again. Maybe I will drop it again as I am getting back on a strict diet.....
  22. I was thinking of trying the Mercola brand. Has anyone tried his? I may also get his Krill Oil but I am suspicious of anyone who dispenses advice and sells products.
  23. Well said as usual. I've been trying to figure out how and why I got out of balance so that it doesn't happen again. For me I haven't found toxic overload to be the problem although I recognize it could be at any time. It was and still is gut dysbiosis. Having listened to you and others I have researched many of the possibilities but I had never considered...
  24. keep in mind coconut is a major anti-fungal agent. could be a herxing type reaction possibly.
  25. Any links on what probiotics to take would be helpful. I keep trying different ones. Some work and some don't. Rachel has commented multiple times about how gut dysbiosis develops. She thinks there are links to heavy metal toxcicity and lyme disease to name two. Over the weekend I watched a National Geographic special on stress. Guess what? I think we...
