I didnt have to call over there...I got a call early this morning from Dr. Amy's nurse...she said Scott had emailed her and said that I didnt get scheduled in....they're gonna fit me in very early Sunday morning!! Thats her last day...

    Andrea....I'm glad you're my friend too! Thanks everyone!! You guys are the BEST. I'm just working today...no parties or anything. Next year for sure I'm having lots of cake and ice cream!! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!! Someone at work thought I was turning 25...that put me in a really good mood. In my mind I'm still that...

    Well...I'm about 3 pages behind I think. Still need to catch up...no time for my story about my day at work. Its bedtime. Yup...my body is saying its that time...and for once I'm actually listening. Night. P.S. Andrea.....sorry about your horse. Susan....cool about the oil paints!! Yup....God does provide when we need it most...

    Rinne...that is AWESOME!! I'm really proud of you...for making it through the rough times of this past winter...coming back here with a renewed strength and an invention on top of it!! WAY COOL. I'm very impressed with all you're accomplishing...new flavors of Rinne Bars...a whole gluten-free line. I hope you will still visit Rachelville when...

    ok....update on Dr. Amys upcoming visit. I still dont have an appt. I called BioSET on my lunch today and told her I didnt get scheduled and I didnt even know Dr. Amy was coming next week! She said she already got an email from Scott about it but the scheduling is already booked. She said she's telling me the same thing she told Scott....that...

    Bev...I'm familar with most of Dr. Klinghardt's articles. He's a very well known Dr. in the alternative world of medicine. He's one of the worlds leading experts on mercury detox. I've posted alot of stuff from him on that topic. He is also well known for treating Lyme and Autism effectively using alternative methods. He developed ART...which I'm using...

    I have DQ1 and DQ3. DQ3 isnt a "known" Celiac gene. They have not identified all of the genes at this time...I know there are some diagnosed Celiacs with DQ1...but at this time only DQ2 and DQ8 are recognized Celiac genes. Of course you can! I consider myself to be non-celiac gluten intoletrant...but I still follow the diet as if I were Celiac....

    Hilarious Grump!! I can totally relate as I've been staying with my menopausal mom during the week. HEINOUS!! I think she does think we are all experiencing these hot flashes....but when I mention that my face is feeling kind of numb and frozen...even with layers of clothes on....I get "the look". So yeah...I just take a really hot bath, turn...

    ROFL... Ummm yeah...let me rephrase this....it might sound too much like fact...rather than opinion. "In my opinion....some people CAN overcome their intolerance when properly diagnosed. In my opinion...this would be considered a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. In my opinion I will eat PIZZA again!! Just to be sure there is no confusion...

    This is very true. I work in a grocery store and see it all the time....moreso now than ever. The people bringing the pets in KNOW they should not be doing this...they simply dont care. I think most managers will ignore it because if they say something...these people go BALISTIC. I know I wouldnt want to deal with it...I'd let them grab their milk and...

    mftnchn, I also get brainfog from chemicals....its the same thing....the toxins have a hard time getting through the liver. Its clogged up from dealing with the toxins which have accumulated from the infections, metals, envirnomental toxins, etc. Besides the brainfog I also get immune responses (swelling, burning eyes, etc). If a toxin is getting redistributed...
  12. Rachel--24
    My Dr.'s have said that the brainfog comes from the livers inability to detox....because it is overwhelmed. The toxins dont get eliminated and are redistributed....circulating throughout the body. This is what I was told causes the brainfog. One of my Dr.s has me taking charcoal to absorb some of these toxins as I'm taking antifungals for candida. Her...
  13. Rachel--24
    Do not take the charcoal with food. Charcoal should be taken away from any foods or supplements. It will absorb whatever is in your gut. You dont want it to absorb your food....take it away from your meals so that it can absorb any toxins.

    I cant believe noone mentioned the PUMPKIN PIE!! The pumpkin pie was awesome. Its really small (same as the other pies) and somewhere close to $10 but for someone who hasnt eaten pumpkin pie for a few years...it was worth it. I cant really eat this stuff because my diet is really restricted....it was a nice treat during the holidays though....
  15. Rachel--24
    Hmmm....I've never seen black specks before but on the candida message boards lots of people would talk about "black specks" in their stool or on toilet paper. They had speculated that it was "dead" yeast. I'm not so sure about that but you're definately not alone with the black speck thing. I dont know if it could be from the charcoal or not?? ...
  16. Rachel--24
    Yeah...but if it doesnt put up a fight...you'll catch everything that comes your way. We'd be in BIG trouble if the immune system were that over burdened that it wasnt fighting anything. Some peoples immune systems might not be putting up a strong fight against Lyme...but it would still be fighting other things. Otherwise it would be a scary situation...
  17. Rachel--24
    WOO-HOO!! Seeee.....thats what I've been saying (on that other heinous thread)....some people CAN overcome the food intolerances when they are properly diagnosed. This would be non-celiac gluten sensitivity.....and I'm totally gonna have PIZZA again. YAY for her!! Lyme is a bacteria.....it can cause problems in the GI tract just as it...
  18. Rachel--24
    I got Lyme. I've never seen a tick in my life...let alone a rash or anything to even indicate I'd been bit by a tick. I dont know when I got it...I could have had it most my life for all I know. I never got sudden symptoms from it. Some people can have it and not get sick for many years...some people get sick right away...and some people may never...
  19. Rachel--24
    Andrea...yup...thats the "theory". I dont think there is any "scientificness" behind it...and not every person with Lyme experiences this. Some people catch everything that comes their way...some people dont. It just depends on the persons immune system. Even without Lyme some people never get sick and others catch everything. A person that...

    OMG...you are sooooo asking the wrong person. I never made coffee (to drink) in my life. French Press?? I never drank coffee...except right before I got sick I broke down and tried Starbucks Caramel Frappacino (couldnt resist the whip cream, caramel and sprinkles ). I fell in LOVE. But really...I'm very clueless about coffee ....hate it...

    Donna...your body IS producing antibodies...thats why you tested positive on your Western Blot. So next time you can tell Susan that you ARE producing antibodies. What Denise said makes alot more sense. BioSET isnt looking for immune system attacks (antibodies)....its looking for sensitivities. Its totally different from ART. Its totally different...
  22. Rachel--24
    Yeah...the potato chips are not a good choice for alot of reasons. I saw a list of the top 5 WORST foods to eat....potato chips was on that list. Donuts were #1 but when I get better...I wont let that deter me. I'm for sure gonna be having me some donuts...all different kinds...definately a jelly filled and one with sprinkles and a glazed cinnamon...
  23. Rachel--24
    So cute. WOO-HOO Donna, you've inspired me...tonight I will bathe in epsom salts. I'm not consistent but I wanted to do about 2 a week. I miss candles. Maybe some candles are ok...like unscented and chemical free?? Hi Bev....happy Memorial Day to you too!! I actually entered this crazy world on Memorial...
  24. Rachel--24
    I never caught colds when I was healthy either. I was always the least likely to get sick....I guess thats still true as far as colds and such....not so much for poisonings though. I guess I was the most likely to become toxic...I just didnt know it.
  25. Rachel--24
    No...never hot water!! Just slightly warm...dont use anything hot in an enema. YIKES!
