Charlie, Great post....all very good advice for Jenny and I totally agree with everything you said....well...except for the candida spit test. I think the spit test is not diagnostic of candida and can be influenced by many things.....alot of people with no illness whatsoever will test positive...people have even tested their pets...and guess what... -

ARCHIVED Elisa
Rachel--24 replied to holdthegluten's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I did the ELISA test. I did it through Great Smokies..(they have since changed name..not sure what they go by now). The test was for over 100 foods....plus I had a seperate spice panel. The cost was $350. The test revealed nothing to me...it was not helpful at all. Others may have had better results...I can only speak for myself in saying that of ALL... -

The urine challenge doesnt clear things up in every case. I could just as well test low for mercury in urine...for the same reason I tested low in hair. It depends if the body is ready to let go of these metals or not...the detox pathways also need to be open. There needs to be adequate minerlas in the body in order for the body to release metals.

There are a couple ways...either hair analysis...or provoked urine test. Its a "challenge" test where you take a pharmaceutical chelator (chelators bind with metals and pull them out of tissue and cells to be excreted) and the urine is evalutated for high levels of metals. I've had hair analysis a few years ago but it showed nothing with regards to mercury... -

Charlie....you can have CHIPS?? Well you are one very lucky guy!! I cant have them...I think its mailnly an issue of mold. Trust me...I've tried all kinds but they definately make me more toxic. Corn chips are worse than potato chips but they both mess me up pretty good. It might also be because I cant do anything in moderation. I end up racheling... -

ROFLMAO OMG Susan...you kill me!! Ummm....I dont think I'm part of the "DD" team. I dont have alot of experience in this area....hence...the need for mention of "enemas" in Rachelville.
