EVERYONE......please keep your opinions of abortion or anything as controversial as this topic is off of this thread. If you would like to discuss such matters in pm's then please do so....but not on this thread. I know I've made this announcement before but this thread is intended for uncovering medical issues that are still making us sick....to offer... -

Julie, Everytime I buy my ice cream...I *have* to pick up the vanilla flavored one and read the ingredients...as if they might spontaniously change someday. I've never bought that one because it has annatto in it for color....I think it would give me a bad reaction. If only that one ingredient wasnt on there.....well we all know what would happen then... -

Carla, Nothing so "sensible" ever works with me. I would go back to the freezer...take out more donut...*not* wait for it to thaw (that would take too long)...throw it in the microwave and eat it. Then I'd be upset cuz there was no more donut.....I'd go buy more and then Rachel the heck out of them. -

Even if there were tests available for this I personally wouldnt pay for them. I already know that my enzymes arent working properly because I react to whole food groups and chemicals. I'm more interested in getting to the root cause of why everything isnt working right in my body. All of the *functional* tests I've taken show something isnt right....but... -

I've done alot of research on this and my choice will be to NOT use intraveneous DMPS.....heres why Open Original Shared Link Read the stories of the people who've gone this route.... Also the experts who've actually had mercury toxicity and gone through chelation do not recommend DMPS through IV. DMPS is not FDA approved...while DMSA is. From... -

Donna, Awhile back you asked about the mercury-free dentist I saw. I'm pretty sure he retired cuz I recall getting something in the mail announcing it. I was just doing a search on mercury-related stuff and ended up on his webpage. I'm like "Hey....thats the guy!". Anyways heres the link...I dont know if the place is still there or what. I think he... -

What is everyone Racheling right now anyway?? For me its ice cream....not that thats anything new. Julie...the ice cream is Stonyfeild organic....it doesnt have eggs in it. I still react to it but not nearly as bad. I pretty much react to everything to some extent so I just eat the stuff that causes the tiniest reactions. What else can I do??? I... -

Haha...Donna and her bumble bars!! Might be hard to believe but I've actually never had one even though I've seen them a million times. Guess its a good thing....I dont know what I'm missing. -

Oh...I obviously dont know anything about other peoples finances but I can tell you for sure that I'm not exactly rich. I just work in a grocery store....pay is OK but definately not gonna get me rich. Since I got sick have had to refinance the house (a couple times), get help from my mom (cuz she still loves me even after all my ummm "episodes") and... -

ARCHIVED Constantly Paying For Food I Can't Eat
Rachel--24 replied to Mango04's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Mango! I read your topic title and was all ready to reply but your original post was gone. I kinda figured out from reading the other posts that this thread doesnt have anything to do with what I thought I did. Anyways....I'm frusterated cuz I waste money on food I cant eat ALL THE TIME! Its not from restaraunts though...its the stuff... -
ARCHIVED Red Wine Made Me Sick And I Dont Know Why
Rachel--24 replied to rutland's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My guess is sulfites. Red wine is loaded with sulfites and can cause the symptoms you described. If you ever eat dried fruit (esp. dried apricot) and feel similar symptoms its definately the sulfites. -

Vincent, I have alot of the symptoms you listed and I know for sure I dont have Aspergers, ADD, Bi-polorism or any of that other stuff. Something happened to me 4 years ago when they started the dental work and even when I thought I was going crazy I knew deep down inside that something was causing all that stuff...it wasnt me and it wasnt something... -

Rinne, I read that protocol yesterday....I guess its used for heavy metal toxicity as well as Lyme. I think if I have to go through chelation it would have to be a very slow process and at low doses. I'm thinking that my liver is probably severely impaired because of the way my body reacts to chemicals. Hey Patti.....thats what I use!! -

This is what it says about levels of poisoning 1. The patient is seriously chronically poisoned The person will be very sick for at least a year....will need extensive testing on ongoing medical assistance during this time. Amalgam removal, creative use of supplements medications and a well thought out chelation regemin are required. Complications are... -

This is the first thing that will make me NOT like an alternative Dr....if they try to treat the symptoms instead of the CAUSE. I've seen one who thought I just had candida.....and that was only because I went in there telling her I had candida. She didnt try to find out why and just went on giving me advice for treating candida....which I now recognize as... -

No...he didnt and I dont know that he will since I've already had it done and showed him the results. I think I will have chelation in my future. This is what the book says about what happened to me with the gold crowns. Its not good at all. If dissimilar metals touch in your mouth they make a battery and one of them dissolves. If amalgam touches... -

This is how mercury hurts us: Mercury catalyzes oxidation of important parts of our body. It mostly messes up the membranes around and inside our cells. It destroys the stuff that holds the membranes together and once the membrane is damaged it doesnt perform its function of passing signals along properly. All the messages your body needs to pass around... -

It could still be a problem even if the levels appear normal in hair analysis. Taking care of the main source is the #1 priority in treating mercury toxicity....without it you will NEVER recover. Thats what it says in the book. If you have amalgam illness but dont take the fillings out you will not recover. BUT...you will still need treatment if you are already... -

Carla, Why did you have your amalgams removed to begin with?? Were you having health problems back then? Also, did you have alot of amalgams? From what I've read even using the recommended protocol there is gonna be some exposure but not obviously not as much as if no precautions were taken at all. I think if there are alot of amalgams being removed then...
