    Yeah....they always say that glass bottles are the best choice. I dunno where the heck to find water thats bottled in glass though....I havent seen it yet....except one kind but it had added minerals. I'm off to BioSet now...I feel like bringing a bottle of Corona with me and telling the lady to DE-SENSITIZE me. Oh yeah....and also a lime.

    Today I start foods!! I'm really excited but I'm not sure why....since I really dont see myself actually *eating* the foods that are cleared. Heck....if I never eat them I wont get re-sensitized...right??

    Good luck Ryan....hope all goes well.

    Well "technically" I'm supossed to be there at 4:30....but its a rare occassion that I get there on time....especially since I dont get up till 4 most days. Today I got there at about 10 to 6.

    OMG....I cant eat dairy but I *can* eat hot ice cream!!
  6. Rachel--24
    I get up at 4 am to go to work.

    That was funny. I was actually wondering if maybe I should change the sub-title of the thread...the part about eating dairy again. I was thinking it might be more helpful to people if they knew what the thread was about. But then again the topic never stays the same so I just dont know what would best describe the thread content?? Any ideas??...

    Hi Eliza You could be reacting to sulfites. Most grapes are sprayed with this preservative. It sounds like it might be something like that. Do you also get a similar reaction to red wine or dried fruits such as apricots?? That would indicate a sulfite sensitivity.

    Miamia....good luck today!! I'll be thinking about you and hoping that all goes well with the injections and the tests. Does a person still have to take lots of probiotics when antibiotics are administered intraveneously??

    Its because...like Carla said...they are not on antibiotics long enough to touch the Lyme. Lyme isnt like other infections and it requires long term antibiotic treatment to get better....short rounds of antibiotics arent gonna touch it. It also depends on the type of antibiotics taken. There are over 300 strains of Lyme bacteria and one persons infection...

    I definately think that the vaccines with thimerosal are bad news. I'm someone who feels that mercury doesnt belong in our mouths...in our shots...in our vaccinnes...in our bodies....PERIOD. I think about what my old Dr. said when I kept running my mouth about mercury getting me sick. He said that the *last* event to occur and finally tip the scales...

    Good morning.....happy first day of 2007! I'm sure I must be the only one going to work today. Laura...of course Eric can be the "speaker".

    Hi Ursula, I know the thread is overwhelming but its nice that you popped in. Yes, people can be very narrow-minded. I cant understand why people would close to their minds to something such as this. To me it seems *highly* plausible that there is an ifectious cause in all of this. The symptoms clearly match that of Lyme Disease and these kids...

    I checked out my Bioset results from initial testing and interestingly I showed no problems with vaccines...which was part of the virus panel. She also wrote in her report to my Dr. that I have no sensitivities to radiation. Interesting....I guess this might rule out my theory that somehow the radiation from my thyroid treatment contributed to...

    Yeah!!! Better health in 2007 for ALL of Rachelville!!! Happy New Year....havent seen your new pic yet but I'm sure you look great. Happy New Year Ryan, Donna, Patti, Andrea, Alison and everyone else who isnt here right now!

    If I reacted negatively to a vaccine I would probably feel something from its effects fairly quickly right?? Seems like the people who did get problems...even some autistic kids who were fine before the shots....the effects were pretty obviously related to the vaccines right?? It seems like things were never the same after the vaccines. As far as I know I...

    Peace, Maybe have your BioSET practitioner test the salt before you try it?? I never did well with salt (I only used Sea Salt) then the bioset tests showed that I couldnt tolerate sea salt at all. I tested fine with table salt but I'm not gonna use it because its not a good choice...sea salt is better. If I'm still clear for sea salt I might try it soon...

    Ditto about the Lyme and getting tested through Igenix. I have problems with salicylates and just about everything else. I've eliminated all the problematic foods and eat organic. Its helped with the pain in that I havent taken any meds in almost 2 years. Prior to that I was taking Norco up to three times a day for a year straight. The dietary changes...

    Donna, I think we're safe with the gluten-free bakehouse stuff since its a whole dedicated facility....it was created for Celiacs and people with gluten intolerance. I think they'll be making more pumpkin pies and other goodies in the future. Oh...you know what else they had this year?? They had DINNER ROLLS. I bought some the other day and dang...
  20. Rachel--24
    I dont think for me its gonna solve the whole problem ....but it might help a little. I took alot of thyroid meds....making myself go hyper again on purpose to see if I'd feel better. This was a couple years ago before diet changes. I went hyper but did not feel warmer or less reactive. I always felt like the thyroid meds just werent working at all. It...

    Yup same story here. The worst Dr.'s around are at Kaiser. My mental health was seriously suffering when I was their patient because they were MAKING me depressed. I had no hope. I felt alone and TERRIFIED because they treated me so horribly and werent doing anything to HELP me. I was WAY sicker because of the stress they were causing me by not LISTENING...
  22. Rachel--24
    I think you're probably right...especially with regards to Autism. I just dont know if it could be the case for me or not since I felt fine for 30 years even with the thyroid problem. I didnt have any vaccines or anything except maybe the one that protects you from rusty nails and stuff like that. Forget the name right now. Anyways I dont think I...

    If you herx you'll probably know because you'll feel alot worse. I think I probably herxed when I was on antibiotics earlier in the year. I was on them for 2 weeks and on day 4 I woke up to go to work and could barely walk. I had to hold onto the wall. I felt like I was gonna throw up and the whole room was spinning. My head hurt really bad and I was dizzy...
  24. Rachel--24
    Any thoughts about this?? For people like me...who react to everything. I was wondering if it could be that our immune systems are hyper alert due to the Lyme. Same reason that I dont get colds....maybe my immune system is gonna be overactive until the problem is better under control and then it can relax some?? I sometimes wonder if thats...
  25. Rachel--24
    What really surprised me was the fact that the baker guy totally looked surprised when I said I ate gluten-free because I had to for health reasons. Clearly he had never heard of such a thing....he looked at me like this. I think he was actually the bakery manager because he was saying something about possibly expanding his gluten-free section because...
