    Sherry, Thanks for the update...sounds like the phone consult went really well! From what I've read I would have to agree about the salt/C treatment. I think alot of people react negatively to it. I rememember reading that Dr. Klinghardt uses it only for people who test well for it with ART and only for parasites....not Lyme. Alot of people dont...

    I never drank coffee.....it was all soda for me. Soda for breakfast, lunch and dinner.....and everything in between. I dont think I ever needed caffeine....I drank any soda...not necessarily the ones with caffeine. Right when I got sick I fell in LOVE with Starbucks caramel crappacinos. I always had them make it de-caf though.....cuz of my hyperthyroid...

    JUDY.....OF COURSE. PLEASE TELL ROBBIN I'LL BE WRITING BACK....JUST REALLY TIRED AND ONLY 4 HOURS SLEEP EACH NIGHT THIS WEEK. I WILL HAVE TO CATCH UP WITH EVERYTHING ON THE WEEKEND. THERES SO MUCH I'M EXCITED TO SHARE BUT ABSOLUTELY NO ENERGY! TONIGHT I'M GOING TO BED EARLY FOR SURE. KAT...I'm so glad. Its great that you...

    Jin...the "sulfa" in sulfa drugs are not the same as other sulfur containing foods or additives like sulfites and sulfates. The sulfa in antibiotics comes from the "sulfonamide" group....they are unrelated to the stuff thats in food....chemically they are not the same.

    Yeah....she was not really understanding why some people have amalgams and yet appear to be totally healthy. I think people tend to look at that and think they cant possibly be sick because of their fillings because *other* people dont seem to have problems. You just cant look at it that way....its unrealistic. Some of us can smoke cigarettes for years...

    OK...my appt. was AMAZING. I probably wont have time to write it all out until the weekend but I'll just say that I really liked this Dr. alot and I feel really GREAT about my treatment plan. Its gonna be alot of info so I'll send out an email rather than posting all of it. My first LED will be next Friday. We covered so many things...

    Claire....I havent had a LED treatment yet. Tonight was all about preparation. I was there over two hours....discussing all my history, getting tested for hundreds of things and they put together my whole LED treatment schedule...including "support" and other things which will be added in prior to treatments. It was ALOT of info....soooo glad I recorded...

    All amalgams leak mercury. If they are broken or deteriorating or not fitting well then they will leak more. Mercury is very insidious in the body....even in small amounts. It interferes with the body's abilty to detox....once detoxification becomes impaired you begin to accumulate larger amounts of toxins in the body....not just mercury but...

    Lisa, I'm happy to see you posting and sounding a little better. Yeah....it was the exact same story for me when my mom took me to the ER. They ran all kinds of tests and every single one came back normal....all of it in the normal range. Thats the problem with mercury poisoning...everything *looks* fine....even if nothing is working right...
  10. Rachel--24
    At one point I was pretty close to where Lisa is now....only my wieght didnt drop as low as hers is...I was definately headed there though. There was a time when I could barely hold my head up...couldn't hold down food....and was really really weak. Also anything I ate was coming out whole...totally undigested and I had bruises all over my body. My mom...

    I got my little voice recorder.....YAY!! This is gonna come in so handy......I'm gonna use it for all my appt.'s from now on. I'm still gonna type everything up but it'll be alot easier for me to "remember" now. I'll probably just type up the details and send emails. I know I wont have time to do it tomorrow since I probably wont even get...
  12. Rachel--24
    Thanks Patti! Yup...everything seems ok with my boss now. You know what though....I get along good with her...but one of my co-workers HATES her. She just came back off of disability and has been totally out to get my boss....I mean she's REALLY out to get my boss. This girl also happens to be a big drama queen, biggest gossip, etc. So she...
  13. Rachel--24
    YAY! Glad your dad got the job...and an increase in salary even! WOO-HOO! Laura, Welcome back....hope you had a fun time. Ok...I gotta go fill out lots of paperwork for tomorrows appt. The paperwork says I'll get copies of all notes taken tomorrow but I can also bring a tape recorder if I wish to record everything. I've always...
  14. Rachel--24
    YAY! Congrats on making the commitment! Yup....the mercury and the Candida go hand in hand. Like Donna said...they LOVE each other.....thats what all my Dr.'s say too....that they are "attached at the hip". The good news is that while you're ridding yourself of the mercury you'll also be ridding yourself of the candida. You'll...
  15. Rachel--24
    Well I think I know what my problem is today. I Know whats coming tomorrow...and its not just my appt. I get sooooo drained and tired always the day before I get my period...this never happened before I got sick. The cookies actually seemed to give me ENERGY ....a guy at my work told me he felt kind of "wired" from the cookies.....he only...
  16. Rachel--24
    I'm not feeling too happy today. I've been having major conflicts at work....with my boss. Its just mainly been over the past week but its sucking the life out of me....SHE is sucking the LIFE out of me! Heck...I'm not even feeling excited about my appt. tomorrow!! There were arguements last week...and then again yesterday. Today I feel...

    Mia, The applesauce I'm eating is Ela Family Farms Organic....2 flavors....Gala and Jonathon...I do fine with both. I dont know why this brand is ok for me though?? The only thing I can think of is that all the other brands seem to say "made with ripe organic apples...triple washed" I'm interpreting it like this.. "made with bruised and...

    I talked to Lisa....she is on the way to the hospital with her mom and her Aunt. She is really needing our prayers right now. She asked me to post and let everyone know shes going into the hospital and asked if we could say some prayers for her. She's scared but I'm praying she'll get some help now. Hopefully I will hear from her soon. She said she will...
  19. Rachel--24
    Lisa, You *can* get better. You need to get some help.....you need to go to the hospital if you're getting weaker. What about the money you were going to use to get the last 6 fillings out?? Can you use some of that money to get some help now? I think something has to be done now...before you get any weaker. I agree with everyone about getting some...
  20. Rachel--24
    Yeah....so we are not talking about a cup of applesauce Its usually one full jar per day....and the jars are big. So could that be enough to keep things moving?? Today was day #2 of unassisted bm's!! WOO-HOO....I'm on a role here people! Oh...and is it Wednesday yet??
  21. Rachel--24
    Lillyth, I would suggest NOT reading through the whole thread.....its got over 20,000 posts!! My first post about the corn was over a year ago....alots been discovered here since then. Corn was actually not my problem....it was more of an issue with mold. I cant eat any moldy foods....including all grains. I got diagnosed with the Lyme...
  22. Rachel--24
    I think I might have found the solution for my problem with the big "C".....and it doesnt have anything to do with OxyPowder!! WOO-HOO!! Back when I was on my ice cream binge (and regular) I was also eating alot of applesauce. It was only one brand that I could tolerate and WF stopped carrying it. I tried other brands but I was moldened...
  23. Rachel--24
    Hi April, I dont think I have a post with a complete list of foods I dont tolerate...if there is such a post its somewhere lost in the OMG thread. Its much easier to tell you what I *can* eat.....which is a very short list right now. I stick to organic foods 99% of the time. I eat organic grass fed beef, one brand of applesauce that...

    Who lives near Washington DC?? Is this where Laura lives?? Looking for good LLMD in DC area....anyone??
  25. Rachel--24
    Mia, Awesome that you were able to talk to your Dr. when you called. I'm glad you're asking the questions and also getting answers to your questions too!! Its a good feeling to have some direction. I think you are going to be alot more focused and "in charge" from here on out.
