ARCHIVED Omg...i Might Be On To Something

Thanks for the encouragement Mia!! Yeah....it really has been a long time since I've had anything really knock me down!! Heck...I think everyday was a heinosity for me! There was no question as to whether I would get knocked down or not...more like how many times. Good to hear that it wasnt DMPS. The orange juggy. ... -

ARCHIVED Enterolab Testing - I Need References To Show Dh!
Rachel--24 replied to mommyagain's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have DQ1 and I dont have any of these problems with addictions. I have things that I enjoy...and I have favorite foods...but doesnt everyone?? I also did not have neurological problems until I became mercury toxic....but even with that I do not have addictions. -
ARCHIVED Enterolab Testing - I Need References To Show Dh!
Rachel--24 replied to mommyagain's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Dr. Fine (Enterolab) has not published his studies for peer review. No other lab (as far as I know) is doing this type of testing in the US. I dont think you will find anything to support Dr. Fines claims in any medical journals. Sorry...but thats the truth of it. -

Carla...thanks for the email. I dont know if an air cleaner would help or not. My mom is having the guy who did the carpets come back today and just use warm water to try to rinse it out better. The Dr. said it will probably bring it more out into the air but if they keep the windows open it should help to clear it out. He said to not overwhelm... -

Thank God yesterday is over with. It seemed like everything went wrong. My new lipgloss exploded after being in my car too long...big mess all over my hands. Then trying to scrub that off I dropped and spilled a bottle of rubbing alcohol. The whole day my head just throbbed like it used to a long time ago...when I nedded to take pain meds everyday... -

Thanks Patti, Andrea and Carla. I'm just feeling sad, sad, sad....and weepy. I still cant even believe this happened...its pretty bad...I havent been "chemicaled" like this in a long time. This would be the first time this year I think. Carla....I dont know if it can get aired out in a week. I'm worried about it alot now. Of course its the... -

Sherry......check the second link that you posted on Cowdens protocol. It says on that page that you can substitute spirulina for chlorella. Ok guys...MAJOR heinosity today. I'm now on an "extended" vacation.....and not because I'm having extra fun. So everything came crashing down on me today. I'm feeling really good....happy with the... -
It could be sulfites. An allergic reaction to sulfites would cause that type of reaction. Sulfites are particularly high in dried fruit. You had dried dried mango as well as the dried fruit in the granola. I think the raisin juice concentrate would also contain alot of sulfites.

This might shock some people but after reading this I realize that I dont worry about what I eat anymore!! Of course I'm only eating a handful of foods...and always the same ones....so I guess theres not to much to be concerned about. But STILL...its much better than how I USED to be....as I'm sure most of you can recall. The food heinousities... -

Well...I gotta say that LN is a walk in the park to me after visiting the Mercury forum last night. I havent been there is a long time and OMG...I dont think I'll return for a loooong time. It was VERY depressing. DMSA is OTC now (which seems crazy to me) and it seems like everyone on there is trying to self treat...no guidance whatsoever. It... -

Thanks. They do get pretty paranoid....I was hoping the fact that I registered in 2006 would prevent that from happening. They were jumping all over first time posters in another thread because they had just registered. Yeah...I think she was probably having a bad day or fed up with people constantly attacking the alternative treatments... -
ARCHIVED Heartburn And Jaw Pain...fibromyalgia?
Rachel--24 replied to oyea's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I agree that the jaw pain is likely TMJ related. I have the same thing...along with the temple/cheek pain...although its much better now. Fibromyalgia is a cluster of symptoms labeled as a "condition"....same as IBS. The symptoms of Fibro and TMJ are usually brought on by chronic infections. -

Carla, I saw your post on LymeNET....was gonna "wave" at you but didnt want to stray from the topic. Besides...when can I ever just type up something short?? Anyways, I'm upset about what happened...especially after all the rudeness and deliberate attacks I've seen on posts having to do with alternative treatments. It doesnt make sense to me at all... -

I dont know if I trust the results of stool tests. All of mine were showing everything to be normal. My CDSA showed no dysbiosis, normal yeast, normal flora. WTH?? Then later I show a problem with yeast and then next time its gone...even though I had done nothing to treat it. Then I had C.Diff show up?? How could I have C.Diff overgrowth with no dysbiosis... -

I havent disappeared...I think I'm still here. Hehe....I pop in and out....yesterday the board was down. I was thankful I got in here before that and was able to wish Andrea a Happy B-day. I hope you had a good day Andrea!!! I'm thinking that the results might look different from your last test. The last one was off the charts right... -

Ami, Yay!! I'm glad you're free of the amalgams!! Its a good feeling to know you've removed something thats so toxic to your body. I love that your Dr.'s and the dentist are so caring....it makes a big difference. I feel this way about the Dr.'s I see now and I actually look forward to my appts....its such a different experience from what I went... -

Sherry, Yeah...the goal is to not have any symptoms during the chelation. If I'm having symptoms it would mean that my system is getting overwhelmed which would lead to redistribution. We definately dont want that so the more support I have the better. Same thing applies to my antimicrobial and antifungal treatments. If I start feeling any symptoms of... -
Onions and garlic are very high in sulfur...same with eggs. Foods high in sulfur are natural chelators of heavy metals such as mercury. Usually people who have problems with heavy metals will experience some reactions to these foods...as they move the metals around. I had alot of problems with these foods but now that I'm under treatment I can eat...

Donna, Cholestyramine (CSM) works great for mold toxins. I was tested for it at my first ART session and I tested well for it....it was recommended for me but I never did take it. I'm still wanting to take it for the mold toxins since thats one of my main issues....I've been kind of holding off on it for my next visit with Amy. I wanna have her retest... -

Hi Mia It was Vitamin C and Magnesium. The Dr. wanted me taking these until I got loose stools. The first brand of Vitamin C didnt work for me because I was taking massive amounts and still....nothing was happening. Unfortunately at that time I was only testing well for that brand and not able to take any of the others. After a couple detoxes... -
I agree that its important to look for someone who specializes in the areas which are pertaining to your particular health needs. I did see one Naturopath more than 2 years ago and I did not benefit from my visists with her. She did not put me on any supplements since I was already taking stuff on my own....but she really wasnt knowledgable in the areas...
