    Yes...I definately avoid all leftovers. You know how leftovers always have that moistness...that condensation that sits on the top of the food?? Thats where mold grows...it grows VERY quickly on leftovers. I only eat fresh food....its less covenient but I dont get those abdominal cramps or other symptoms caused by the mold content of leftovers...

    Lisa.....in case you missed this from my previous post: So you can see that mercury is most likely the cause for our constipation. The chlorella is good....but dont start out with alot. Hopefully if you can tolerate it...you'll be able to remove some mercury and eventually be alot less constipated.

    I'm gonna repost this lecture by Dr. Klinghardt which is probably my favorite and I learned alot from it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One thing that is important for you to understand is - you can have metals in the cells, you can have metals outside of the cells in the connective tissue...

    Could be something you ate?? I'm not really sure. One time when I ate some leftover soup I got a HUGE swelling there on my left side. It was big and hard...like a big softball. I remember that I could hardly walk...the pain was really intense. I never ate leftover anything after that! Dont ever eat leftovers if you're sensitive to molds...

    Carla, For some reason I dont see your avatars anymore. Its just a blank space. Been that way for at least a week now...both my computer and my moms. Carla...you've become INVISIBLE!! Patti...I DO see you....I love the pics that show you smiling....very pretty! Donna and Susan....love the artwork. I've never done any painting.....

    Chlorella ia a good choice if you can handle it...dont take too much....remember to ease yourself into it. Maybe you'll tolerate it better than the charcoal....everyone is different. I cant handle the chlorella at all. I dont know if I would mess around with the cilantro drops too much. I would start doing the drops on my wrists, ankles and kidney area...

    I CANT WAIT FOR MY SAUNA TO GET HERE!!!!!!! Susan....DUDE...I am gonna be seriously loving the heat!!! Its pretty hot here in Manteca today....but just wait till I get my sauna!! I'll be COOKING!!! WOO-HOO. I havent used my air conditioning in the car yet....in fact sometimes I'll turn on the heat and make my drive home from work feel like...

    I bought 3 supplements last night. I got milk thistle for my liver, N-A-C for mercury detox and Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) for mercury detox. Ok..so the milk thistle gave me an immediate allergic reaction ....so that ones going back next trip to WF. The N-A-C is ok so far...I've taken it twice. I'm not gonna take the ALA afterall cuz I read...

    Andrea, Nondenatured whey protein is not toxic....its not the same as cheese whey. There is no "hidden" MSG in high quality whey protein. The whey protein consists of essential amino acids....so it does contain L-glutamic acid...in its natural state. This is not the same as manufactured MSG. L-glutamic acid is a natural occurring amino acid in...

    Yes....its a smaller percentage who develop symptoms. The larger percentage of people exposed to Lyme are not symptomatic....but as we know....things can change in an instant. I think the percentage who are symptomatic is rapidly growing as the world becomes more toxic. We are now exposed to more pollution, EMF's from cellphones (and other wireless technology...

    Bev, the controversery is over the existance of chronic lyme period. Mainstream does not acknowledge a disease that in many cases requires a clinical diagnosis (chronic lyme). They also dont acknowledge that the disease is not eradicated with 1 month or oral antibiotics. The insurance companies dont want to pay for long term antiobiotic treatment. My LLMD...

    Andrea...it is a bit on the conservative side cuz the Dr. actually stated 90% on the east coast and 40% here in Nor. Cal. I dont know if she was referring to the whole west coast with 40%...I just heard "here in our area they estimate that 40% have been exposed". Yay...I hope your brother does well with this and also loses weight as...

    So here's two videos about amalgam fillings... I've posted them before but I'm posting again for anyone new. This first one is the one that I saw at the dentist office a few years ago...the video is what really made me realize how serious all this really is. Its called "The Smoking Tooth" This one is also very informative and eye-opening...

    Mercury is very strongly linked with Alzheimers. I think all neurotoxins can play a role in the destruction of brain cells...but certainly mercury is the at the top of the list. The effects of neurotoxins are cummulative. Suppose a person has amalgam....gum chewing significantly increases the rate of mercury vapors released from the fillings...this is...

    Jin, Another thing I've been meaning to mention. A few months ago my best friend had her period and it didnt go away...she just kept bleeding. She went to the Dr. and the first thing they said was that the most common cause for that are polyps and they scheduled an ultrasound to see what was going on. Sure enough...she had a polyp. They said she needed...

    Jin, About the low blood sugar....shaking, dizziness, feeling hot, etc. I had all that when I first went on the candida diet and cut out carbs and sugars. It was VERY bad....I was shaking and NEEDING candy and pasta. I would feel weak...like I was gonna pass out. I remember one time I was trembling as I tore open a snickers bar...I couldnt get it in...

    More stuff on mercury....
  18. Rachel--24
    True that! Jin...hmmmm...fries, reeses peanut butter cups, cocoa pebbles, chips, cookies, candy bars... Me thinks the candida is LOVING you.

    Donna, I had totally forgot about ART today!! I was surprised when I read this....sheeesh....hope I dont forget my own next weekend! It seems like from both of your ART sessions Lyme is showing up as your main issue?? Did he test metals at all? I hope nothing else shows up for me next weekend...I dont need any additional co-infections or...

    Beth, In my opinion most autistic kids will do much better on a gluten-free/cf diet. I would keep her on the diet if she were my child. She may not have Celiac but still....its my understanding that "leaky gut" is very common with kids on the spectrum. If she has leaky gut (and I dont doubt that she does given the fact that speech is improving)...

    Lisa, I'm not familiar with senna or cascara...I've never tried either. The enemas always work for me but sometimes I may need to do it twice. I use about a quart of warm water and then retain it as long as I can. I also massage my adbomen. It hasnt failed me yet. I usually do 2 consequetive enemas and for some reason the second one is the one that really...

    I will get nightsweats if I eat a bunch of candy...I get it from too much sugar and also from the chemicals and additives in the processed foods. I dont have hypoglycemia though..... I have leaky gut and candida. Didnt you say in another post that you are treating candida?? Eating alot of candy before bed is not the best thing to do with candida...

    I was gonna say exactly what Chrissy said....I'm pretty sure it would be total serum levels and the nurse you spoke with might have been confused. If the Dr. was checking immune function he would most likely be checking the total serum levels.

    I dont really have much joint pain..my problems are mostly the sensitivities to everything. I guess alot of its digestive...I dont get "d" or cramps much but I do react to almost every meal. After I eat I'll start getting some "allergic" type symtpoms...and I usually get bloated. Its all soooo FUN!! I react to stuff all day long...stuff in the air...
  25. Rachel--24
    Bev, I'm worse in the morning...I get better as the day goes by. I dont get worse during the day or at night unless something provokes symptoms. If I get exposed to too much chemicals or eat something my body doesnt like....then I might feel worse for awhile but it usually goes away. I dont ever bounce out of bed feeling great though. I did a couple...
