ARCHIVED Omg...i Might Be On To Something
Rachel--24 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
hehe...Carla on her soapbox. I totally agree....I've been looking at the positive things to come out of this for a few years now....its alot of personal growth. These changes would have never ocurred in my life had it not been for this illness. I believe things happen for a reason...I cant sit around being angry about being in this situation. I have... -

I thought about this but it wouldnt really work for me since I'm traveling back and forth between two houses. I have plenty of room at my own house for a sauna...but my mom doesnt have room...and I'm there all week....so I would really only be able to use it on the weekend. I'm thinking of getting a portable one which I can take with me and use on a... -

I knew that and yet I forgot. I could see how that would make it a little tougher to figure out. You know...if this board had that little emoticon where the guy is banging on his head with a hammer.....I think I might use that one quite frequently. Anyways, I dont get worse while I'm on my period....but the days leading up to it can be... -

Hey Donna...we are just missing each other again...my next appt with him is on the 27th. One of these days we are bound to run into each other. -

Donna....thats basically my interpretation of how BioSET works....who knows though...maybe if Anna or Denise read it they would say "No....thats all wrong!". I'm just learning as I go. I think most of its pretty accurate but I'm not 100% sure if BioSET only picks up stuff that the immune system is sensitized to or if it can pick up *any* type... -

This is from the Lyme link that Carla posted... I had forgotten about this but when I had that discussion with Dr. Harris at Igenix he did tell me to test during my period. We were only discussing the urine test at that time....because I had already gotten the Western Blots. I had assumed the menses thing was only important for this particular test... -

Charlie, It says they use muscle testing... The diagnostic process uses kinesiology (muscle testing). The patient is tested against various toxins that show up in the body. Key findings indicate whether the rapid laser detoxification would likely be helpful for the patient. My understanding is that LED is used for heavy metals and other... -
ARCHIVED Bob's Red Mill Products And Msg
Rachel--24 replied to HawkFire's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think the problem of MSG in processed foods is bigger than just "pea protein" in Kinnikinnik products. If we are consuming large amounts of free glutamates in our daily diets....and we are if we are eating a typical American diet....then this can easily surpass what is tolerable for many people due to genetics and other factors. If it were just... -

Rachel--24 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Ok...so I think I didnt explain very good....or I dont have it right myself (wouldnt be the first time ) . My interpretation is this. BioSET is looking for an immunologocial response showing that the immune system has become sensitized to something....and is now reactive to it...this is not the same as your body "fighting" an infection with... -

Thanks Rinne. Today it is pouring rain. So much for working up a sweat in the yard. Donna...I meant to comment a couple weeks back when you were talking about us having a slight "heatwave"??? Yeah...it was a little warmer...but not warm enough for me to abandon the turtlenecks! -

Donna....wanna know how many people I've met in the waiting room?? Ummm.....ok....not counting the "massage" guy...I guess it would be ZERO. So either you're alot more social....or its just alot busier on the weekends. It could be me though...most people dont like me at first. My shyness gets mistaken for stuck-upness about 99% of the... -

Ok...lemme think. I asked Denise why Donna (that would be you ) would have no indication of Lyme in 2 previous BioSET tests....not reactive to a single vial....and yet in ART Scott picks it up right away...along with co-infections?? I wanted to know WHY?? She said that with BioSET they are picking up things that the immune system has become... -

Yeah.....me too....my new cell phone ringer is set to "SEXY BACK". Denise laughs when it goes off during my testing...she laughs and sort of rolls her eyes. I always forget to turn it off. Yeah....I know this one too!!! The answer is sort of "swimming" around in my head right now. Please be patient while I try to get things... -

Andrea...a relaxing weekend sounds nice...but even better would be a blazing hot weekend with me working in the yard......playing with Bear and sweating out toxins. Oh.....and eating plenty of ice cream. I dont think it will be hot enough though...I'm still wearing turtlenecks to work. -

Donna...I will try to re-post what I learned at BioSET last night about why things werent showing up the same in the two different tests. What makes me mad is that...last night I had the clearest mind I've had in a LONG time. I was astonished at how I rememebred everything from my appt. and it just flowed out of me. Its usually much more of a... -

Ummm....DUH....they have a Far Infrared Sauna at BioSET ....I totally forgot about this!! Open Original Shared Link And I think I've read that there at least 5 times since I started going to BioSET. Good thing I didnt go and ask Anna where I could find one. Sheeesh...what is wrong with my brain. Donna.....what would I do without you... -
ARCHIVED Large Intestine Was Too Swollen To Finish Colonoscopy
Rachel--24 replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My colonoscopy was "incomplete" because the scope couldnt be inserted all the way. The Dr. didnt say anything about swelling....he said it was due to a sharp turn in my intestines which the scope couldnt get past. I had posted (last year) asking others if this had ever happened to them....I got a few responses that it had....so I didnt worry. I never... -

Carla...its good that you're gonna see if there is anything going on with Chloe. I'm not sure what it is that the lady is using...but I'm curious now. Yeah....I would like to try one of those infrared saunas...maybe Scott knows where I can try one. Do they have them anywhere for the public or are they just for home use?? -

Rachel--24 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Donna.....if you dont test clearly positive with the Western Blots I seriously doubt that Dr. S. will put you on antibiotics....most likely he would start you on the Cats Claw like he did with me. He's not really gung-ho on antibiotics.....the very expensive LLMD is alot more aggressive with antibiotics from what I understand....whereas Dr. S. is more... -

Hmm..I dont think it would be rosacea if its also on your neck and chest?? What kinds of foods are you eating when your face gets red? Some foods can trigger rosacea as well as hot showers. I had mostly burning on my skin....they called it rosacea but it was actually my body reacting to the chemicals and other toxins. My skin gets really red after a shower... -

Donna, I just wrote a long post to you.....and then the site went down and it got lost. Anyways, tonight I had asked Denise about why Lyme would not show up in BioSET for Donna (you ) and yet it showed up very clearly in ART. She gave a good (and understandable!! ) answer......which I had posted and lost. Anyways...I will have... -

Carla, Yup...I'm totally satisfied with everyone I'm currently seeing. I'm definately not ready to fire anyone yet. How different things are for me now compared to a little over a year ago...when I wanted to fire EVERYONE....and I did!! The thing is everyone I see offers me something different...yet they are all on the same page...if... -

From what I understand the x-rays are hard to read....only a handful of people in the country who are really good at it....Dr. Hussan was one of them. I dont think I'm willing to pick a random Dr.....I'd rather wait to find out whos really got alot of experience. Anyone can buy a cavitat device and use it....but that doesnt mean they have alot of experience...
