    Patti...my charcoal is 100% pure activated charcoal. Country Life brand. It says its derived from vegetarian sources....so dont know exactly what that might be. Its free of yeast, corn, wheat, soy, gluten, milk, sugar, starch, preservatives or artificial color. I havent had any problems with it at all and I know I cant eat coconut.

    I dont get diarreah from corn....but I dont eat it because of other symptoms from mold. Nothing really gives me diarreah...I have problems with constipation. I do get bloating from alot of foods....I try to avoid the foods that cause bloating. I dont eat gluten so I dont really know what it would do to me.....probably worsen constipation. If I took...

    This was my absolute worst symptom during the first year I was sick. I still had my amalgams in at that time and this is when I was continuing to get poisoned. Any kind of illness caused by neurotoxins can cause sensitivity to bright lights. It could be caused by mercury...or it could be caused by molds. It could also be caused by Lyme....lots of people...

    Lisa...I dont have to stop taking the whey protein. Its one of my more important supplements. I havent had any problems with it. I'm not concerned about casein.....even some people who are intolerant to casein can have the whey protein w/out any problems. I dont have any major reactions to casein....I was eating ice cream for 8 months and didnt get any...

    OMG...I racheled emoticons in my last post!! Oh but one can always dream.... ROFLMAO Tom has quite the imagination. OK....OMG...My sauna is HERE!!! Must go get into this thing.....(which sorta resembles a triangular spaceship )....be back later.... Wish me luck....

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Carla. I dont really find the stool tests to be accurate.....heck two of my stool tests were totally normal!! Yeah... I couldnt possibly have worse fungal issues (unless maybe I was dying) and yet the stool test is normal. WTH is that?? Hmmmmm... could it be cuz all my fungus is tied up with metals...

    I can totally see you peeking through the windows...checking out the new Stepford neighbors. It reminds me of Disturbia. People are disappearing in the night... yup sounds like Disturbia is creeping into Stepford. Susan....I dont think we need to worry about your safety though. I'm pretty sure you've got that handled. Our DingoGirl...

    Ummmm...yeah....I think you molded yourself. I get molded from almond butter but avocados are HEINOUS for me....I cant eat avocado at all without getting molded...LEFTOVER is like 100 x worse!! So yeah...I'm betting on mold in this situation. Also with the rumbling, bubbly tummy.....I only get that when I eat something that is causing...

    They didnt check your TSH?? They should check FT4 and FT3 ( F= free) and TSH. The "free" levels of hormones are most important because that is a better indicator of whats actually available for your body to utilize. If they just test T3....you dont know how much of that is "bound"...or how much is "free". Free hormone is readily available in your system...

    I think Miamia also has a low appetite. Me and Donna pretty much rachel everything in sight.
  11. Rachel--24
    Donna.....I got the emails!! Great detective work. I cracked up "Rachel...is this you?" OMG....thanks so much...you're the best!! I have to go back to work but as soon as I get home I'll be heading straight for that article. Yeah...I know I'm expressing my nerdliness a bit too much right now .... but I've been wanting to read more...
  12. Rachel--24
    Bev...wow...I'm trying to think about when I last didnt have an appetite. I think I'm pretty much always hungry. Glad you feel better and got to go to the park with Angus. I think I might have stole the german shepard puppy if I were you though. Well at the very least I would have given him a hundered kisses on his cute little nose. I'm...
  13. Rachel--24
    Yeah Jin....WAY cool! I hope you'll be putting up more. Its really good. I cant draw at all...I pretty much create stick figures with circle heads and feet....oh and hands that look like they belong on Mickey Mouse.
  14. Rachel--24
    HI JUDY..... Really?? I wonder what gave it away?? Nice surprise with the insurance check. Thanks Donna! I'm sure you got the right address. I'm on my moms account but will check my mail soon as I'm done posting. TOTALLY!! I know my mom wouldnt wouldnt be able to handle this at all. However, she feels...

    Donna, I'm totally dying to read the article Scott put up on LED. All his articles are in PDF now....which I cant open on my mom's computer. I was hoping he had posted the article on LymeNET but it was the same link...so I still cant read it. Is there any way you could copy it and send it to me?? Dont know if you have my email? He told...

    Good morning Patti, Miamia (and everyone else) Carla.....glad Chloe survived the 6 hour urine test. I think urine tests will forever remind me of the "orange jug incident". I'm anxious to see how all her testing comes back....Igenix results should be coming soon?? BTW....you are still invisisble!!! WTH! Jin...thanks for the update...
  17. Rachel--24
    Julie...I'm hopeful for you too. I'm glad you found someone who may be able to help you and get you on the right track...and hopefully feeling better soon. ART = Autonomic Response Testing I have to say its my most favorite method of testing out of everything I've done so far. Its reliability does depend greatly on the skills of the...

    Charcoal is not a chelating agent.....its used to absorb toxins in your gut (like a sponge) and then you need to have bowel movements to remove those toxins from your body. Whey protein wont chelate. It has essential amino acids to help detox. It also strengthens your immune system...helps your body fight off infections, etc. Garlic can chelate some...

    Lisa....you *may* have to stick to water and not the tea or anything else. This was the case for me. I had to get out of the mindframe of thinking that everything which was "suppossed" to be good....or that was "recommended" for healing...was what I should be doing. You really have to pay close attention to your body and give it what it wants. Even...

    Laura, looking forward to reading your email. I have to switch accounts (I use my moms while I'm here) to get my mail....but will do so later. I didnt think agave was allowed on the candida diet but I've only done the very strict candida diet where no sweeteners of any kind were ok...with the exception of stevia. I did try agave last year...

    Lisa, I never heard of preventium .com but I'll definately check it out. I havent heard of the supplements you named but different Dr.'s use different protocols. I definately dont think you should have your current Dr. treating you since she doesnt seem to have alot of experience with this. It would be good to have a visit with the new Dr...

    It could be that something you're taking is working against the virus so it didnt show up. Thats why I stop my Lyme stuff ahead of everything else....I know its probably not necessary to stop that far in advance but I just want a very clear picture of how much its showing up...without any treatment possibly getting in the way. I think its probably...
  23. Rachel--24
    Nope. Its just you.

    The B-12 shots might help alot. Some people start making alot of progess once they got on B-12. Its needed for methylation and that is one of the essentials for detoxing mercury. She said all of the autistic kids she treats have the same problem and also have the same problems with sulfur. They improve with B12. Shes doing a test to see if the LED therapy...

    Bev...sounds like the herx was heinous!! Glad you're coming out of it and feeling better....phew! Saxy Spice. Yeah...I think its perfect! Donna....you crack me up with all the fuzziness keeping your feet warm. Loved all your artwork by the way. All this talk about Big Sur and Nepenthe (dont think I've been to either place...
