ARCHIVED Omg...i Might Be On To Something

I agree with what he said....mercury is definately worse. From what I understand the metals, environmental toxins, infections....all of it is pretty hard to get rid of until the mercury is dealt with. I've read many times that once you get rid of the mercury all of the other toxins will follow. The bugs are much easier to get rid of once mercury is out... -

I got it from the Dr.'s office. I dont think they sell it in the store....or at least I've never seen it. Actually Lisa said she bought my brand of whey protein but then returned it because of soy. I dont know if she got it online or in a store. -

Yeah...2 years ago...I still have a huge canister of it. I think I reacted badly to it which is why I stopped taking it. This was back when I was trying to self-treat (and not doing a very good job of it ). I was trying to "fix" my leaky gut. I could have been taking too much of it...I dont really know....nothing was really working...I was like grasping... -

Yes....of course....*anything* can cause a bad reaction. DMPS is chelating metals...if you're heavy metal toxic and not excreting well...the metals could be causing the reaction. The Gluathione could cause a reaction as well. I'm kind of surprised they did DMPS IV....its powerful stuff. My Dr. wont even let me do this test with a small oral... -

Wow Andrea....how does T. feel after all this?? I think its AWESOME that Elizabeth is doing LED. As you know I wasnt too sure if it was LED or just cold laser that shes doing. Sounds like she just incorporated LED after the seminar. So yeah...If Scott doesnt report good news I may be going up to Bellevue at some point. This is what Dr. Amy really... -

It makes sense that your mercury levels increased after the removals. Yeah...I do think your Lyme came back because your're still chelating but totally went off of Lyme treatment. Every Dr. I see has reiterated this point to me many times. You cant move one without also moving the other. They live together and the bugs are always where the metals are... -

Yeah....thats how I see it too. You have to fight alot more than just to Lyme to ultimately win the war. If you use all your energy just fighting one thing....you might temporarily win the fight....but the war will continue....and you find yourself fighting the same battles. There are soooo many possibilities. Yes, mercury toxicity is one.... -

I actually havent heard that could happen from repeated moldenings but the good news is that I was tested for fungal balls a few months back. Apparantly I havent moldened myself enough yet. You can get fungal balls from exposure (I think usually Aspergillus) but I dont think it comes from food exposure...cant remember exactly. Anyways...... -

Yeah....but I feel better off of rice too. I feel better off of ALOT of things. If I react to wheat...I dont know if its mold, mercury, pesticeds, gluten....or something else. Too much going on with the sensitivities right now. I do believe that I'm intolerant to gluten because of the leaky gut...I do believe if I eat it there will be imflammation... -

Well I did the shot already...I guess I just stuck myself anywhere. I guess it would be the lower/outer quadrant. Does it make a difference in how its absorbed?? Next time I'll do it higher. I cant watch the video from my home computer...dial-up...I forgot about that. I'll get a pause for "rebuffering" every 2 seconds...it sucks. The... -

I would think the only way you could possibly NOT have Celiac is if your bloodwork was only IgG positive. If you were totally recovered and just really wanted to know FOR SURE....you could do a challenge. When you're all better you might just be at peace with everything and it might not matter one way or the other. I know for sure I dont have Celiac... -

Nothing from the OxyPowder yet.....I feel wierd after taking it but not sure if its a moldening yet. My stomach was REALLY noisy all night and this morning. I actually think I might have felt like I needed to have a bm...but it didnt actually happen. The site says someone with alot of impacted stool might take a few days to start kicking in.....it says... -

OK...I got my Methyl B-12....I'm totally scared to do the shot!! I canceled my blood draw.....resceduled for Monday. The B12 just got here. They put like 7 reuseable ice packs in there....which is cool cuz I could really use those things! All the shots are ready to go. Theres a 2 month supply....a whole bunch of syringes with the B12 already... -

Yeah...I know I saw that in your post. Nice that he warned you about it AFTER you've already been taking it. Anyways...I had seen ALA always mentioned in various protocols so I had bought it at WF before my appt. with Dr. Amy......cuz I wanted her to test it and see if it would work out for me. I started reading more about it after I bought it... -

Yeah...it chelates from the brain. I would be very catious. You dont really want to chelate from the brain until you've done everything else....its pretty much the last step. -

AGREED!!! NO more merging celebrity names!!! WTH?? Is this gonna go on forever?? ROFLMAO!! Ditto on all that.....thank God the "Bennifer" trend seems to have subsided...I think they might actually be two seperate people again. Phew! Cant say the same about Brangelina though. -

Hey are these EPD injections?? Theres a mold/allergy specialist in my area that I was referred to for these injections. I never set up an appt. though...I'm waiting for the right time I guess. So you think they've helped you alot? Did you get worse at all when you first started the shots....I've heard of that happening and it scared me a little. Seems... -

Thanks Lisa. I'm glad you're feeling better now....thats the main thing. I worry about you when I see that you're getting stressed.....it reminds me of how scared I was in the beginning. I didnt have any knowledgeable Dr.'s though...and I didnt have all these supportive people...there was no Rachelville back then. I was suicidal alot of the time... -

Carla, I had to go back to my book since I'd read this like 3 years ago...and we all know my memory can suck at times. Its discussing copper poisoning vs. mercury poisoning and how to determine which one it is (same symptoms). It says many people who believe they are mercury toxic actually turn out to have copper poisoning (5-10% are actually... -

Yeah...I agree. Its come up lots of times here before but yeah.... wheat = hard to digest, major source of mycotoxins, contaminated with mercury from fungicides and contains pesticides. Alot of issues with dairy too....mycotoxins, pesticides, growth hormones, antibiotics, etc. So yeah...someone who's toxic is gonna feel alot better removing these... -

Sherry, Are these results from provoked urine tests? How often do you have them done? The levels have obviously gone down but 3 years is a long time to have to go through it. I'm thinking something was/is hindering your body's ability to detox. Since the Lyme flared up after you went Gluten-free Casein-free my guess is that you started detoxing... -

Another possibility (and probably more likely than the loss of B12) is that instead of losing nutrients with the diet change....she was gaining them. This is what Dr. Amy had in her presentation under things to do to reduce body burden. Obviously the body detoxes better w/out these foods since they are restricted on pretty much every detox... -

Thanks for the Lymeification. (Did I use the use the word in the right context?? ) I'm not familiar with retracing....have only heard of "unmasking". I was referring to unmasking in my post....thought maybe they were the same thing. I've only experienced unmasking....after removing one sensitivity, another shows up....for me it was never... -
