    There actually could be something to this. This topic came up in the OMG thread a few months back. Someone posted info about the active ingredient in Pepto (Bismuth) being effective against the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease. There was a study about bismuth and its effects on lyme in the GI tract. The bacteria was sensitive to bismuth and it did...

    Carla....she sent me 2 pm's. This doesnt concern you....and as Lisa stated...pm's are not to be discussed on the board.

    Jin, As Andrea and Patti said...I'm fine....I really am. I dont need to vent...I was never angry. See my above post... EDIT: see my post on the previous page. Take care

    Alison....this is just not true at all. This is actually how my pm started out... I'm not going to post all of it because its personal but there was nothing angry about my pm to you. My letter carried the same tone as these first two paragraphs. I'll be sending both your pm and mine to Scott. Yours was not anything meant to try to calm...

    Wowzer....this is because it truelly is a vicious cycle. If you have a candida problem and cant get rid of it......its because theres something else going on and until you find and treat that underlying issue...the candida will persist. I know...probably not what you wanted to hear...but in my experience this is very much true. You have to find...

    You're right...I'm not open to the idea that Candida is an infection all on its own and if you starve it for maybe 20 years...you *might* get better. You're absolutely right about that....I'm not open to it at all. Thats really about the only thing I can think of that I'm not open to....and I'm not gonna change my mind about it....not in this lifetime...

    OK...so after 15 months of posting scientificness and research and sharing my story....I'm pretty much done with it. I think I've spent a great deal of time and energy on this stuff and I'll continue my journey and sharing my story much more privately from this point on. Theres still alot more for me to learn. I'm not anywhere near done with my personal...

    Carla...I would also like to point out that the same is true of Lyme. Many people are walking around with Lyme and are not sick with it....thats the nature of the world. Everyone with Lyme does not get sick. Just because Lyme is found in a sick person does not mean its causing the illness.....because many healthy people are likely to have it too. Just...

    Carla....I think you need to go back and review the posts. I was posting quoted information and Tom came back and broke down MY posts......as he has a habit of doing. So no....if you look at the posts what you're saying is not true....he broke it down and went off about a bunch of stuff which didnt even make any sense to me. I do not break down...
  10. Rachel--24
    Wow...I didnt realize you were so upset by my posts. Alot of people dont think they have Lyme when they first hear of it as well.....including you....if I'm remembering it correctly. If the info. hadnt been posted here would you have been diagnosed?? I dont think its fair to others that you are now getting terribly upset about the link with...

    Hi KAG....welcome! Thanks for jumping in and sharing your story. There is some research that suggests that Candida can trigger Celiac. I started a thread on this topic last year. Personally, I do believe that Candida is a trigger for Celiac. Open Original Shared Link I've seen people get small bouts of candida that they quickly recover...
  12. Rachel--24
    Ummm...I think I was actually talking about Dr. K.'s theory. In your post you commented on the theory and then wondered about the thoughts of other Dr.'s on this "theory". I then went on to relay my own Dr.'s thoughts and the fact that Candida is BIG business for alot of Naturopaths who treat candida with supplements. I said these people do NOT look...
  13. Rachel--24
    Yeah..Igenix does test the ticks. Open Original Shared Link Kind of expensive though...$60 for each infection. You can send up to 20 ticks and they'll test them all together...at no extra cost. Kinda makes me think one tick is just not enough.....I would feel like if I was sending 20 at least I was getting my money's worth or something...
  14. Rachel--24
    I have this happen too...totally gurgling stomach and yeah....extreme flatness. Everything I eat will make noises. I dont think its mercury...not for me anyway. It seems to be related to something I'm eating or taking....it used to happen regularly....but hardly ever happens anymore if I'm watching my diet very carefully. I think for sure mold is a factor...
  15. Rachel--24
    Alison, This is what I would do. I would save the tick...go to the Dr.'s....if it *is* a tick....get on treatment right away. I would not hand over the tick...I would send it to the lab for testing to see if its carrying any diseases. I *think* Igenix can test the ticks....not positive but I know I've seen posts on LymeNET about it. I would want...
  16. Rachel--24
    I'm sorry...I just really cant follow your posts anymore. I dont understand why we are discussing your diet?? I was talking about NATUROPATHS who diagnose Candida as a SINGLE cause for disease SYMPTOMS. Thats really all I was trying to discuss.....not red peppers, green peppers, soy or anything else having to do with candida diet or your...
  17. Rachel--24
    I have similar pains when eating foods high in mold/fungal content. I have alot of problems with these foods...its a long list of foods that I have to avoid because my sensitivity level is so high. I get other symptoms with it as well.
  18. Rachel--24
    I think your post just proved my point. You went to an ND who supported your diagnosis of candida and gave you supplements....but 2 years later you are still unable to resume a normal diet. So did the ND actually help you effectively treat your condition?? This was the exact point of my post.....there are people who are out there diagnosing this...
  19. Rachel--24
    Carla, Its interesting what you said about the Babs causing worse herxes than Lyme. I've never had any noticeable reaction from my samento and I've taken up to 20 drops in a day. It never seemed to affect me but I figured its because the infection isnt too bad. When I started the Noni (for Babs) I got a little worse....nothing severe but...
  20. Rachel--24
    Its the proteins...the amino acids. Other whey powders would have the same stuff but if they're denatured they just wouldnt serve the same purpose in the body. All the benefits would have been removed with the processing. I think Garden Of Life makes good quality products...I've never heard anything bad about Goatein. It seems like the main thing about...
  21. Rachel--24
    I read that....I think someone posted it on LymeNET...I may have posted it here with all the glutathione scientificness a few weeks back. Thats why I got all excited about it and asked my Dr. about it. I still plan on trying it and they already said they're gonna be adding in glutathione (I didnt test ok for it last time) at some point. I'm just not...
  22. Rachel--24
    Yeah....I could very well be misinterpreting....it wouldnt be the first time and I can pretty much guarantee it wont be the last. You say 10 words....I say 1,000. My mind just goes in a gazzillion directions....theres no stopping it.
  23. Rachel--24
    Hey.....I read a book like 3 years ago by Jordan Rubin "Patient Heal Thyself". He talked all about Goatein in that book. I think its good stuff but I ended up getting turned off by the fact that he heavily promoted it in his book and then I found out its his own company "Garden Of Life" that puts it out....so I never actually tried it. I got skeptical...
  24. Rachel--24
    I'm talking about people who are seeking help from Naturopaths, health stores, stuff like that. *Most* people on the candida program will be taking some supplements. I'm sure when you were diagnosed with candida you were on some things right?? It doesnt sound like you're currently seeing anyone for treatment so this wouldnt apply to you. I was talking...
  25. Rachel--24
    Yeah....exactly. An effective chelator should be able to pull out the metals and then also remain firmly bound to the metals so that that can be removed from the body. NAC can do these things but its not necessarily an effective chelator if its dragging the metals into the brain or into other areas of the body....instead of getting rid of them. Thats...
