    Hmmm...check this out. Then I read this from the makers of NDF... Maybe I should get one of the showere filters?? I think I definately might want to do this. Stupid Chlorine.

    Liz, First, there is no such thing as "butting" in on this thread. We welcome everyone's questions, opinions, input, etc. I would suggest getting evaluated by someone who has alot of knowledge on the subject of mercury toxicity. This is probably the most important step in the whole process. Its not something that should be done without proper...

    Andrea....I wouldnt worry too much about long lashes. They can be long in healthy people too. With mercury toxicity I would be more concerned about obvious symptoms such as delayed motor skills, chronic infections, yeast, autoimmune disease, physcological symptoms, allergies, GI distress, etc. I think those would be more indicative. I would imagine...

    What you are describing is called Increased Intestinal Permeability...or "Leaky Gut"....anyone can develop leaky gut for any number of reasons...the most common reason is a candida overgrowth. Leaky Gut is common and not limited to those with Celiac. Gluten intolerance will always be a consequence of leaky gut....but not necessarily the cause. Yes, leaky...

    Yeah...and in this case she could be the *perfect* spokesperson for Celiac and the effects of gluten on the brain. ROFL... Maybe she is even dumber than Jessica!!

    More info about mercury and kids... Yup....thats what Anna was telling me. If this same chain of events happened to me when I was only 1 year old...I would be at risk for Autism for sure. I know that this info. doesnt really pertain to any of us but I just posted it because its interesting and may help someone who reads it later...

    They seem to be using NDF alot for the kids on the Autistic Spectrum. I think mercury detox is critical for these kids. Heres part of one story I've read.

    After this week I'll be moving toward 1/2 drop everyday...so there wont be any "off" days. I think I'm just gonna avoid the broth alltogether. It was causing me problems all along but I was ignoring them since they werent the strong allergic type. Even when I ate small amounts my stomach was making noise and I was nauseues the next day. If I ate 2 bowls....

    Thanks...I have a very good outlook on things and I think I'm heading in the right direction to get my health restored. Lots of autoimmune disease are linked with Celiac....just as with any autoimmune disease...the possibility of developing more is high. I dont think Celiac is a *cause* for multiple autoimmune disease....even those who do not have...

    OK...so my first day of taking NDF was on Saturday and it turned out to be a really crappy day for me. I didnt think it was the NDF but I couldnt be positive. I seem to get symptoms when I eat too much of the veggie broth. I dont get the "allergic" type symptoms like I would get from most foods...its more like what I would get if I ate alot of garlic...
  11. Rachel--24
    I'm glad to hear that.
  12. Rachel--24
    Hmmmm....I'm scratching my head on that one?? In all my research I've never seen anything about that. Do the vacs stay bound with mercury?? I've only read about things like yeast and bacteria binding with the mercury...possibly as some type of defense mechanism by the immune system....to prevent mercury from destroying the cells.....or just because...

    I had hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease). My symptoms were pressure behind my eyes, headaches, shakiness, a feeling of being wired all the time, heart palipitations, hairloss, bursts of anger, racing thoughts (my mind was always busy), sweating, feeling unusually warm or flushed, and a huge apetite. It sounds like you could have Graves based on your symptoms...
  14. Rachel--24
    I'll agree with evry word written here....along with everything else written in Jayhawkmoms post. I would stick to the diet just the same....(which is what I've been doing for almost 2 years now).
  15. Rachel--24
    Stephanie...that is WAY cool!!! All that food and BEER on top of it.....woah....you must have been in heaven! I hope I get to go to a party like that one of these days!
  16. Rachel--24
    Woah...I almost missed YOUR BIRTHDAY!!! Glad I saw this thread....I think its still you're birthday over there in Jersey. I hope you had the best birthday and I hope you're all recovered form your surgury and were able to have some fun celebrating your day! I cant even believe its been a year already since your last b-day?? It seems like...
  17. Rachel--24
    Yeah...I cant eat anything thats not totally fresh...no leftovers for me. Its a rule on the candida diet...NO LEFTOVERS. Stupid mold.
  18. Rachel--24
    Donna, I'm super positive my burning is caused by mercury. I never had it until I got poisoned. I think at this point any neurotoxin will cause burning for me.....I had it real bad when I was chewing the gum w/ aspartame and I also get it from MSG. I would also describe the burning as a "sunburn" type feeling....it feels very much like that. It also...

    NoGluGirl, Enterolab doesnt actually test "gluten".....they test for antibodies in the stool. The same antibodies they look for in blood....only they look for them in stool. This method isnt generally accepted for making a Celiac diagnosis. Most people use Enterolab just to see if they are sensitive to gluten and what their genes are. Since you...

    As everyone already mentioned grapefruit can intertere with medications. I have also read that grapefruit juice can reduce the liver's ability to detoxify itself by around 40%. All toxins depend on the liver for detoxification. Because the grapefruit juice slows down the liver's detoxification.....this creates a problem with certain medications. ...

    Andrea, My symptoms seem to get greatly aggitated when I eat stuff like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, garlic, onions and eggs. I get alot of pressure in my head, eyes, ears, migraine....alot of pain and blurred vision. I think its because they are all foods high in sulfur. I think I have so much freakin metals that the foods are causing me symptoms...

    I am not familar with IgM antibodies having any involvement in food intolerance. IgM antibodies are the first antibodies produced to fight infection. They have no involvement in testing for food intolerance or allergy. Here is a description of each class of antibody and its function The five major types of antibodies are: IgA. IgA antibodies are...
  23. Rachel--24
    NoGluGirl, The tests will probably still detect antibodies...Enterolab says they can detect antibodies up to one year after eliminating gluten. I was off gluten for 4 months when I tested and came back positive. Since the test doesnt diagnose Celiac I would be worried that you wont get a diagnosis based on the test results. Most Dr.'s will not accept...

    Yes, I'm quoting myself. I just looked and the bag of peas that caused mouth blisters also had salt. I cant believe I would overlook such a thing. Salt is one of the things that I think causes me to get blisters...I'm not sure why though. Anyways...now I am less afraid of the frozen veggies and am making another attempt. Frozen asparagus...
  25. Rachel--24
    I found this having to do with cost effectiveness... Which is more costly....NDF vs. DMPS Cost Effectiveness / Compared to DMPS It was recently determined by an independent, comparative 24-hour urine tests conducted by Dr. J. Wright via Doctors Data that a single, 2-dropper dose of NDF pulled out 20% as much metals as an IV dose of DMPS on the same...
