    My body must have been soooooo unhealthy even before I broke down. Yes, I was the queen of fast food, marlboro cigs, soda first thing in the morning and all day long, microwave foods, pastries and anything "convenient". How scary is that! I read that microwaving food kills everything that is "good" about the food. When they do tests it shows...

    Yeah....they always check my legs...good thing too because I'm always crossing them. Also while they're testing they remind me not to have a cell phone on me so be careful about that too. It could probably interfere with the testing. I trust my BioSET lady cuz she teaches other Dr.'s about BioSET and shes traveled and worked with Dr. Ellen Cutler...

    I'll post about my wheat/gluten testing and treatment when I get home form work. Sorry for the delay. Donna, I'm totally excited for your appt. tomorrow!! Even my mom is wanting to hear how it goes. Oh and guess what!! gluten-free Pumpkin Pie is back at Whole Foods! I couldnt believe my eyes....there was only 3 left and I bought one. Do...

    Carla...thanks for the link. Looks like the little booklet that came with my test strip isnt accurate with all their info. cuz they said that ACV is acid forming. The book had said that a high alkaline reading is the same as being to acidic. Last night after my Bioset treatment I talked with Anna (Bioset lady #1) and I told her about how I...

    Yeah....I have to lay down for 15 minutes...with the jar on my stomach. They always test first to make sure my body can handle the treatment. I asked awhile back if its normal to not feel well and the lady said that alot of people feel nauseus or other symptoms while in the treatment room. She said some people get really tired afterward but then feel better...

    Some treatments have made me feel bad (short term) but most treatments have no noticeable affect on how I feel. If I feel bad its usually that I get really tired, irritable and brain-fogged. I've noticed it most after the treatments for candida and molds and when I got treated for chemicals. I felt fine after the wheat panel I had last night. It might have...

    OK..we started on foods tonight!!! OMG.....you wont believe what they started with??? WHEAT. I was really bummed and disappointed. It was the first time I felt like I didnt want to bother with the treatment. I told the lady I didnt want to do it because I'm on a strict gluten-free diet and plan to stay that way. I didnt have Anna tonight....it...

    Snotty worms floating around? Mango, I'm sure I cant drink it right now but I might try it later when I'm tolerating more foods. When I was on the candida diet I bought a juicer and was juicing some greens. I actually liked it but I stopped since I react to so much stuff. I know I felt ALOT better eating like that but because of the candida...

    Its not just sugar that creates an acidic body. The highest acid-forming foods are the artificial sweeteners....(which everyone thinks is so good for them in the sugar free foods), all forms of sugar, anything hydrogenated, molasses, alcohol, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, chocolate, jam, most canned, processed and microwaveable foods, corn meal, packaged...

    About sugar cravings....it says it can be caused by the pH being off and too acidic. It says if you alkalize the sugar cravings improve or go away completely.

    Bev, That sucks. I'm sorry that you're holidays got wrecked by this. I agree with Laura about getting tested to find out if its really mono thats causing this. If you only have IgG's for mono it would indicate a past infection and you might actually have something else going on. It would suck if it was something else and you are not getting treatment...
  12. Rachel--24
    Yeah....it was Dr. Adams. He had spent over an hour going over everything with me. I remember being totally impressed with the amount of time he spent and how he was really trying to figure out what was going on with me. He would ask me alot of questions and then kind of look out the window while he thought about everything and then come back with more questions...

    Claire, I dont have any online references at this point. I just went to Whole Foods last night and got the ph test kit and a book called "The pH Miracle". I'll find out more today when I go to Bioset....if I get to see Bioset lady #1. Most of what I wrote last night came from the little guide that was provided with the test kit. Apparantly proper pH...

    BOO-HOO
  15. Rachel--24
    I'd bet money I cant tolerate it right now but I'll definately try it later when I'm doing better. I went to Whole Foods and got a ph kit and also a book about all this stuff. The test kit also came with a mini booklet with alot of info. Annyways, when I saw the mercury free dentist a couple years back he tested my ph. It showed up all the way yellow...

    Judy and Andrea....thanks for the updates on Patti and Evie. I'm sad about Evie not feeling well again....I sent you an email Judy. Ryan, I hope all goes well with your wife. You gotta do everything you can for her....to make her feel she is #1 in your life and in your heart. I know it cant be easy for her. Good luck with everything!! ...

    My advice is to get a Dr. who practices integrative medicine. Either that or a reputable Naturopath. In my opinion this is where you will have the best luck....so long as you do your homework on the Dr. first. There are some really good ones out there....and there are also some "not so good" ones. I've done it all....seen all the various specialists...
  18. Rachel--24
    Patti, I hope they are taking good care of you in the hospital....and feeding you safe foods. Glad to hear everything went well....we miss you already. Get well soon and yeah....try not to look at the "dirt". I still vote for hiring a maid....spoil yourself....who knows you may find you never want to clean again. Get lots of rest and feel...

    There are lots of strains of yeast. Some strains are "friendlier" than others but you wouldnt want any of them to overgrow because its just not a good thing. Yeasts shouldnt be allowed to grow out of control in our bodies...they realease toxins.....just the same as any fungi. The toxin is like alcohol so it makes us have those "hungover" feelings and brainfog...

    Alison...thats what I'm hoping for. The Bioset lady did tell me a few weeks ago that just because I've been exposed to Lyme doesnt necessarily mean that its causing my symptoms. She said people can have the baceria and its not an active infection. I guess theres no way to know until we get rid of layers of the onion. She had said back then that...
  21. Rachel--24
    Yeah...we are the CANDIDA-HATERS CLUB Stupid Candida....taking everything away....now its threatening even my hot ice cream! I'm going to war....for my health and for my ice cream! I read like 4 candida books and spent a long time on the candida boards but its HARD to get things right when you cant see inside your body and understand whats...
  22. Rachel--24
    Lots of prayers and good thoughts going out to Patti.

    BOO-HOO
  24. Rachel--24
    Yeah....I'd say thats a pretty good indicator that you might be sensitive to sulfites. Also very high in sulfites grape juice dried fruit saurkraut juice lemon and lime juice (not frozen) wine and anything with these ingredients... sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, potassium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, potassium...
  25. Rachel--24
    Yeah...very bad indeed!! Believe it or not....I totally forgot about the gluten factor! Oh how I miss the Corona's though. BOO-HOO There will be NOOO Corona's in the forseeable future. For anyone waiting to hear about how foods went....SORRY...it didnt happen. Foods got kicked to the curb tonight. They got my test results back...from...
