Latest Celiac Disease News & Research:

I see my situation as an example of where the difference is important. It was important for me to determine the exact cause of my symptoms when my tests were clearly not identifying Celiac as a possibility for me. Whatever the "trigger" may be....if its left unidentified and untreated more problems can develop as a result. I do not know all that I'm...

To throw another one out there....mercury is known to block the dpp4 enzyme which breaks down gluten. This is why many autistic children do well on a gluten-free/cf diet....they lack enzyme function. This can happen to *anyone*. Without a predisposition for Celiac...it cannot be Celiac. It doesnt take large amounts of mercury or other heavy metals...

Just the other day one of my Dr.'s was discussing diet with me....mainly with regards to dairy products. He said that dairy has been linked with Type 1 Diabetes in studies as recent as 2006. I havent look into it but heres what he told me. I already posted this in another thread so I'm just copying it here to save time. I do believe 1...

Lisa, I'm sorry about everything. I think everyone is just really upset and scared....just wanting you to get better. The Dr. is saying that this is gonna get you better so thats what your parents want...they want you to get better more than anything so they are trusting the words of the Dr. I still think its very risky to start chelation right... -

I have sore muscles in my back, neck and shoulders. My head is sore alot too. I LOVE massages though!! I bought hemp oil last night and I'm using that now since I need an oil in my diet and this one has alot of benefits. I get bad reactions to quinoa...I dont do well with any grains due to mold sensitivities. I really dont like quinoa... -

I used hair analysis...mercury showed up very low in the results. Most of the metals were low. Cadmium and Bismuth were high. The mercury was stored in my body and not getting excreted . Even though the metals were low my minerals were all out of balance. When that happens it may indicate mercury toxicity. Someone can be extremely toxic yet have low... -

Well it certainly doesnt seem to have the same effect as the marijuana plant I remember from back in the day. Nope....nothing like that....this tastes like ground up nuts and I dont get the "munchies" after I eat the Hemp seeds either. I guess that would be a good thing though ....who KNOWS what would happen if Rachel...queen of racheling were to... -

My mom asked them if I can drive afterward and they said yeah...as long as its not more than 2 hours. Its only like a 10 minute drive back to my Mom's so I'm sure I'll be ok. The girl said if I was to have a bad reaction or something it would occur while I was there in the office...so they would keep me there longer and do whats necessary to correct... -

Andrea, I googled it and found a bunch of stuff. This is from one of the pages I found... Over the past two centuries there have been dramatic increases in the release and distribution of mercury and its compounds over the earth's surface - in the atmosphere, across the lands and in the oceans and water bodies. This increase has resulted from... -

Yeah...I've heard about poppy seeds doing that too. The Dr. said most people test very well for the Hemp.....and he had also said that most people dont test well for dairy. So I would have to assume that the hemp must be better for us. He said it was illegal as a food here until 2003....but now there are alot of products out there made... -

I asked Scott if they test for Parvo, Coxsackie and Hanta virus in ART...because they showed up in my testing on Wednesday. I never showed any problems with viruses in ART or BioSET. He said that in ART if viruses (as a group) arent a big stressor....they dont usually go looking for each individual one after that. He said he has a tester for Parvo... -

Hey Donna, The Dr. said its a double whammy for us here in the Bay Area....we have more mercury in the environment. He said mercury is a BIG issue here....even if you never had a cavity in your life. He said if you were to look at the world and map out the levels of mercury in the environment....theres this big red spot over the Bay Area. ... -

Oh we talked about CD57. He's one of the Dr.'s that doesnt use it. He said its not valuable for him...and not because the # doesnt mean something. He said we're already gonna be doing everything he can think of....and so having a CD57 thats less than 100 doesnt change anything. He said its not like the # is gonna cause him to do anything different... -

I would definately ask her about it. She might be planning for it later but just doing the things that are showing up for you now first. I'm sure the mercury must be an issue since you do have amalgams and it did show up in ART. Sounds like she is setting up LED accrding to the Asyra results and those might actually show the mercury once you deal with... -

Ok...so heres more info. about LED and the reason the sulfa treatment is so important. The Dr. said when clearing the toxins they go after all of them. You cant just go after one thing...you gotta clear all of them. They test for all the toxins, residual things from old infections, residuals from vaccinations, other chemical toxins....theres just alot... -

Glad I could help!! Yeah...he was really trying to figure that one out. He knew Anna was picking up Lyme in me but yet he just couldnt find resonace in my body no matter what he did. He was really curious about what Amy would find and if there was something he wasnt doing. The first time Amy tested me she didnt pick up the Lyme but she did find... -

I was wrong about the LED treatments being done in a specific order. I had thought that they always start with the sulfa and then from there the mercury, then the other metals, and so forth. I have 5 treatments...sulfa is #1 and mercury is #5. The Dr. spent some time getting the order of these treatments together and in determining how much can... -

Yeah...deep down I agree with it too. But OMG...I just LOVE milk!! Its harder for me than gluten for sure. I tested badly for dairy products across the board in all the BioSET testing in every panel. I remember doing the Autism/ADD panel and they had casein in there....again I did badly. I thought it was weird that they didnt have gluten in that... -

Donna, I did get an email from Scott. I think he must have gotten back on the computer as soon as he passed the 25 hr. avoidance period. I'll be seeing him on Friday....my LED is right before his. Yeah...he said he just gets tired and sleeps alot....some minor headaches but the worst part is avoiding everything. I'm sure thats gonna be... -

and heres something else new for me. No more whey protein! I tested real bad for cow dairy and this Dr. is very anti-dairy anyway....he said its an unnatural food for us...most people have trouble it...we're the only ones drinking milk outside of our own species, etc. etc. He said we dont always feel the symptoms but our immune systems can... -

Mia, I totally understand how you feel. I know we've talked about it before...its hard to go and then not be able to enjoy it the same as you once did. I do get set-backs when I do certain things....its not usually a physical set-back but I do tend to get the emotional set-backs. I also always say that this will be the *last* year that I'll feel... -

Whats interesting to me about this is that yeah....the Dr. tested the remedies against ALL of my infections at once. He wasnt just looking at Lyme and then finding what works...he wasnt picking out any one infection and trying to find what remedy tests best for that infection. Instead he had ALL of my infections and was testing to see what would work... -

Donna....he dosed me at 35 drops for each!! He muscle tested to get the dosage. I never took this much Samento but I did get close to 20 drops a day and never felt anything. My body might be able to tolerate it...we'll see. Like Amy and Anna.....he doesnt want me taking the drops w/out first letting them sit in warm water for awhile. Claire..... -

Yeah...I read that thread too. Some people over there are real negative. With everything I've done.....not just ART...they never look at my supplements first.

Hi Naomi, Well...we are still working on getting better..... I'm much closer than I was 1400 pages ago. That seems almost a lifetime ago! We've discovered alot since then and most here are now being treated for things like Lyme Disease, mercury toxicity, candida, mold issues, viruses, etc. Some of us have all of these issues.
