    You can get the lasers anywhere I think.....you can learn to self-treat with lasers but its not the same as LED. What she is explaining on her site....and the laser kits....are not what is used in LED. I would probably be interested in learning how to do my own laser treatments later on down the road....from what I understand it can help with alot of...

    Personally, I think it all comes down to the fungus.....and not really the other way around. I could be wrong but thats what makes sense to me. Things are going wrong in the body to make someone become susceptible to fungal issues. I dont think its as simple as a vitamin deficiency...but that doesnt mean that supplementaion wont help the body deal with...

    Cool...actually Michelle had said about $150....but I just found that really hard to believe. If thats the case its totally doable for me. I wouldnt need to worry about a hotel or anything since its not for LED....theres no reason I cant go up there and come home the same day. Thats what I'd probably do. This is what I'm thinking. I want...

    Julie, I'm here! I was posting on other threads....and other boards...but I'm still here. I'll let you guys know about my plans when I get some time to post. I still have to find out what it costs to fly to WA (round trip) cuz that would have alot to do with what a decide. Andrea....Michelle told me its around a couple hundred bucks...

    Patti....I'm eating a TON of chocolate! Ok....so I guess you were probably asking about the LOD. Most of the foods bother me but I'm not sure its all oxalate related because I can eat certain things but they have to be "just right". For example I cannot normally eat chocolate without having problems....but found this one brand of chips that...

    Actually, everyone is pretty toxic...its the price we pay living on this planet. My Dr. told me that there were studies done where they took random people of the street for testing. The only requirement was that they had to be in good health (no obvious symptoms). They were tested for a long list of toxic substances...heavy metals, pesticides, PCB, Dioxin...

    Personally, I do not believe that autism is simply a genetic condition. ...there are MANY more factors involved...and most of them are not acknowledged by the medical communtity. This is why its the alternative treatments that are turning things around for these kids. Some of those treatments are mentioned in the back of McCarthy's book...and there are many...

    Yes...toxins are mobilized during a massage. The fact that you were so affected by it indicates that your body needed some help in eliminating those toxins from your body. Alot of water could have helped with that. Also, taking some chlorella helps bind the toxins (especially heavy metals) so that they are able to be excreted rather than reabsorbed and...

    I am now contemplating how to proceed with my treatment. Having a mini "team" of Dr.'s working with me has been great thus far. I feel comfortable in having worked with more than one person at getting to the root of my problems....sorting out what my main issues are. Now that I'm at the point where treatment (rather than testing) is the focus I think...

    For anyone interested in high quality goat whey protein and/or minerals this is the one I plan on taking. I know the minerals and protein are essential for heavy metal detox and I've been without it since I am no longer on any cow dairy products. I hadnt yet found a replacement. I asked what Dr. K. uses and this is the one that was recommended to me...
  11. Rachel--24
    There is alot of good info. re: allergies in the above link but I wanted to quote this section because its so very true and this is what I was referring to about making sure the Dr. looks deeper than the candida. The candida symptoms can be fairly obvious but this condition doesnt exist in a healthy body....therefore its essential to get to the root of...

    If I could be your coach I would. Seems like all those words are like my main vocabulary these days...almost like they are just normal everyday topics. My world has changed quite a bit these last couple years. You will do fine! You're not any different from anyone here I'm sure....all of this stuff can be really intimidating or maybe...
  13. Rachel--24
    Thanks Julie! I think I'll go back and buy the little pot. I have some Himalayan salt so I can try it with that.
  14. Rachel--24
    Julie, What do you put in the neti pot?? I want to try it but not sure what you use...salt water or what?? Judy sent me a link with a video....maybe I should actually watch it.
  15. Rachel--24
    Mia, I have to say that I just get so happy reading your posts recently. You have come a long way with the new Dr. and with everything you're doing. You may not notice it but I can tell in your posts that you are feeling better about everything. You're not confused anymore. It makes a huge difference when we know whats going on and are...

    Kassandra, I had very black stools a few years ago. It was when I was really sick and not digesting most of my food. I was told it might be blood so I went to the urgent care since I was really weak at that time. It wasnt blood in my case....it was most likely because I had been eating oreos and it was coming out looking the same way it went in...
  17. Rachel--24
    I dont have any immediate answers for you....hopefully the Dr. will know how to proceed. I've read that DMPS should not be used during pregnancy but I'm not sure of other chelators. If chelation continues there would need to be careful monitoring of the minerals in your body...since those get depleted with chelation. I have never looked into...

    Hi Matilda, My opinion is that YES...most (if not all) of the symptoms can indeed be caused by yeast. Its a menace for sure! I'm pretty certain that the fungal problems I'm dealing with account for most of my symptoms. Diet and antifungals can make a big difference but I'm not one to beleive that it is a "cure". So far I have not seen anyone...
  19. Rachel--24
    Great news! If the diet is working and the symptoms are subsiding...I agree...what more can you ask for.
  20. Rachel--24
    I dont believe that there is any scientific evidence that all of these conditions are *caused* by gluten. In most of these conditions (Autism, Fibro, IBS, rheumatoid arthritis, etc) heavy metals, pathogens and environmental toxins are common triggers. In studies up to 90% of the people suffering these conditions have underlying causes such as Borrelia infections...
  21. Rachel--24
    I dont think there is a direct link here since most of the autistic population doesnt actually have Celiac Disease....even though the diet helps with the condition. The problem is more related to mercury and the leaky gut. Mercury blocks the DPPIV enzyme required for breaking down gluten and casein. These undigested food proteins pass through the leaky...
  22. Rachel--24
    Actually other people DO have these same issues. The majority of the people who are suffering from leaky gut do NOT have Celiac. Its the leaky gut that will open up the door for increased autoimmunity....and this is going on in a much larger group than the 1% with Celiac Disease. Autism is an example of this...leaky gut is a part of this condition....most...
  23. Rachel--24
    Does anyone remember when I was prescribed Ketotifen (Keto) for healing "leaky gut" over a year ago?? I had a long conversation with the pharmacist about leaky gut/gluten intolerance, etc....he was really nice and I had such a good feeling about it back then. I never finished the Keto and obviously I had alot more going on. I still have some left over...

    This was in the Oxalate thread so I'm moving it over here...post from Lisa (Tobasco32)
  25. Rachel--24
    I was gonna say the same thing. Enterolab cannot diagnose Celiac. There may be something else going on causing those high fevers....you may want to look furthur into that. I think the misconception that Enterolab can diagnose Celiac Disease sometimes throws people off and another problem may go unchecked for that reason. My own Enterolab results...
