    More stuff from Klinghardt....about neurotoxins.... Here is an incomplete list of common neurotoxins in order of importance: (1) Heavy metals: such as mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminium. (2) Biotoxins: such as tetanus toxin, botulinum toxin (botox), ascaridin (from intestinal parasites), unspecified toxins from streptococci, staphylococci, lyme...

    I finally found the answer to the question of how is ART different from other kinesiology??? Q: What is the Autonomic Nervous System? A: The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is the part of the nervous system that controls functions such as blood flow, heart rate, organ function, digestion, the immune system and healing, etc. Q: What is ART? A...

    Dr. Derksen (shes a woman) will be one of my Dr.'s. I dont know if I'll ever have a "main" Dr.... as they all work together. I pretty much already have a really good team....I am expanding a little by adding in the mold/fungus specialist but dont know if I would continue seeing him. My current Dr. and Dr. Derksen I will likely continue working with until...

    This info. about mercury came from a lecture.....I think the speaker was Dr. Klinghardt. He's pretty much a genius when it comes to mercury detox. The lecture is very long and I cant post a link since it comes from the Lyme board so I apologize for that. ----------------------------------------------------------------- One thing that is important...

    Laurie, Of course you have every right to feel what you're feeling. I think most of us here have felt in some way that we've been "wronged" by our Dr.'s. I dont think you come off as grumpy......but even if you *are* grumpy....you have every right to be....and we all understand where you're coming from. I would be angry too. About the Lyme...

    Andrea, For sure I'll be sticking with Dr. Derksen and ART. I know this is the way to go. Finding a good ART practitioner is important. I believe Dr. Derksen would rank as one of the best. It feels very "right" to me. The only thing is that Dr. Derksen only comes to my area every 3 months. I dont know if this is sufficient when it comes to ART??...

    Andrea...yeah...I think its buried for sure. Its definately there....I suppose it would be unrealistic to think its not affecting my health. Here is another post from one of those same people... So yeah....it seems like I'll have to knock down these other issues before we can get to the Lyme.
  8. Rachel--24
    Wow....I was reading on LymeNET and came across these posts ...it makes me think that Lyme did not show up in my ART session because it is so buried beneath all of these other issues which have piled up. Like Scott said..."sometimes the body reveals things to us in layers". This person is completely healed....she was a patient of Dr. Klinghardt and...

    Hi Armetta....good to see you. I hope you are doing well. Yes, you read right...I have big problems with mold. Its not so much a "typical" allergy though....molds are basically aggravating everything already going on with my body. I'm also extremely sensitive to all molds....although I do not get asthma or respiratory problems. It seems to affect...

    Andrea...its kind of confusing...not really a piece of the puzzle...it just gives me a better understanding of the testing/treatments we're doing. It just goes to show how a reaction to something within the body can be affecting many different and seperate issues. Like if someone ate gluten and it caused multiple issues at once....on the one hand it could...

    NoGluGirl, I dont think you are selfish for wanting all of these things for yourself.....we all deserve to feel happy and healthy. However, I dont think you are going to convice your parents of this. I dont know that they would *want* you to remain sick. I simply cant imagine any parent wishing illness for their children?? I think you cannot...

    Hi Laurie, I dont know anything about the autogenous vaccine to comment on its possible impact on your health or to say whether or not your current issues are a consequence of this Dr.'s actions?? All that I *can* say is that other autoimmune diseases are common amongst those with Celiac Disease....you are certainly not alone with these ongoing problems...
  13. Rachel--24
    MiaMia...I'm sorry you arent feeling well. I kind of assume that when I dont see your posts and it makes me sad. I like it when you are posting because this is generally when you're feeling better. I think we are all the same about that...I post alot less when I'm not feeling very good. I'm glad you were able to go to Florida....it sounds like it...

    If the fibroid were being aggravated by certain foods.....could I feel pain in my pelvic area?? It happens with foods that are questionable as far as gluten content and also some moldy foods.
  15. Rachel--24
    I agree Carla and I think in the end it would only worsen her problems. I am not opposed to her going to the OBGYN and getting looked at...heck...I did that myself and not too long ago. Thats how I came to learn about the fibroid and ovarian cyst. Also....before I started clearing out toxins from my diet and limiting chemical exposure....I was barely...

    Claire, Those were the results of my ART session last week. In no way did Scott tell me that I do not need to worry about Lyme. He said that my previous tests, history, and the fact that I have problems with metals, molds and Candida are all suggestive of Lyme and although it did not show up in ART he is not saying its a non-issue. He said Dr. Derksen ...

    Oh...ok...as long as you're aware that the colonoscopy cannot detect Celiac. Whether or not you eat gluten shouldnt have anything to do with your colonoscopy....all Celiac damage occurs in the small intestine.
  18. Rachel--24
    I dont have any idea as to where the fibroid is located. I was only told that it was very small. It shows up in BioSET testing only in association with gluten and with candida/mycotoxins. The pain only showed up after I got sick. Its definately related to my diet and not ovulation. The pain can be gone for months but then return when new foods...

    Claire, Treating the hormonal problem is not addressing the underlying issue. I had hot flashes at 31....when these infections started overcoming my immune system. This is when all of my hormones went out of wack. Lyme disease seriously affects the ENDOCRINE system....the ENTIRE endocrine system. A person can get hot flashes at *any* age when there is...

    Michelle...I am curious as to why you are back on gluten for your colonoscopy???
  21. Rachel--24
    Oh...ok...I'm glad the bloodwork has already been taken care of.....that is good news! As far as the tooth discoloration...I've seen it discussed here many times. My suggestion would be to start another thread specifically about tooth discoloration....you may get more responses that way. Sorry, I cant help much with that one.
  22. Rachel--24
    Welcome to the board. Since you've had your biopsy first and it was positive....you really dont *need* bloodtests to confirm Celiac. In order for bloodtests to be accurate you need to be consuming gluten all the way through testing....this applies to the biopsy as well. Your Dr. shouldnt have told you to go on the diet and then come back for bloodtests...

    I dont get D...I do get gas and a host of other very unpleasant symptoms including headache, reflux, bloating, joint pain, etc. Peanut butter is by far the worst....last time I had some peanut butter not only did I have the other symptoms but I burped non-stop for more than 12 hours. It was pretty gross. Anyways, in my case its an issue of mold...

    Laura had a great list of things to look into. You're definately not alone. I went gluten-free.....then added casein free....then soy....then eggs....then corn....the lists goes on and on...but I'll stop here. Corn-free was hard by the way....OMG...corn is in everything...makes gluten free seem like a walk in the park. Lets just say that at...

    I'm just going to re-iterate whats already been mentioned. Coffee = big time gut irritant. I'm not saying this is gonna solve all your troubles but its definately a step in the right direction.
