ARCHIVED Omg...i Might Be On To Something
Rachel--24 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Carla, The experts say that no amount of mercury is "safe" for us. Its the second most toxic material on this planet. I dont think there is an exact measurable number to say that this or that amount is too much for a particular person. Everyone is different and it depends on alot of different things...everyones symptoms can be different as well...depending... -
ARCHIVED How To Pick A Fresh / Good Coconut?
Rachel--24 replied to VydorScope's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Vincent, I had to laugh when I saw this thread! Anyways, here's a sure fire way to NEVER get a yellow, household-cleaner tasting coconut ever again. I used to work in the produce dept. for several years. Lots of times customers buying cocnuts wanted me to open them and also save the milk for them. I'd go in the back....put the coconut in a couple... -

Nope... I dont think Haagen Dazs makes organic ice cream?? I was eating haagen dazs moths ago but it has eggs in it....which dont agree with me...also my eyes got irritated...they got itchy with dry red skin. It was nothing too terrible or even noticeable but still a bad sign that my body wasnt liking something in the ice cream. I have a book on... -

Rinne, Sorry to hear about your friend...I know how you feel. People just dont understand sometimes because they arent in our shoes. If I wasnt living this nightmare myself....I dont know that I'd really understand it either. I'm just glad that there are alot of people who do have compassion and whoare supportive and I just dont let the other ones... -

Rachel--24 replied to chgomom's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I would hate it if people were afraid to say whats on their mind or to share their own experience because it differed greatly from the previous post in a thread. Personally I value everyones opinion and dont mind a good debate now and then. I wanna know all there is to know and I'll take with me what I find most valueable or pertinent to me. As long as there... -

Well...so far I have survived my overindulgence of chocolate ice cream. I dont know what tomorrow will bring but I'm gonna stay away from my remaining pint of ice cream....at least for the rest of the weekend. I learned tonite that Tailz did test positive for Lyme Disease so will keep her in my prayers. I may not have agreed with all that she said... -

Here is a detailed list of how a dentist should safely remove amalgam fillings. Open Original Shared Link Obviously my dentist did none of these things and look where it left me. 4 years ago I could have eaten all the ice cream I wanted....any flavor with all the toppings. I could get it at Baskin Robbins for desert after I ate a hawaiin style pizza... -

LOL...Ok..it all makes sense to me now! Well arent you the lucky one!! Snickers would probably kill me but at least I'd die happy. On second thought....I think I'd rather be killed by an Almond Joy.

Andrea, I just got off the phone with him....I told him what I did with the ice cream. I've been telling him I think my hormones are all haywire right now. He said I always have good excuses. When I forget to do an order or fail to do other important tasks at work....its usually cuz of brainfog. When I get irritable or maKe bad judgement calls regarding... -

Actually I buy *everything* at Whole Foods. The ice cream is organic and I've never seen it anywhere else. The only thing I'll buy from my work is water....I would never buy my food there. Theres hardly anything organic in my store....except maybe that organic beef that I made hamburgers with. Vincent, It should be white on the inside....not... -

OMG...I get the same way!! I totally know what you're talking about....I get crazy when my mom is chewing gum with her mouth open. If I'm really irritable every little thing will get on my last nerve. Thankfully, its not too often that I'm like this.

Thanks for letting me vent and as usual being so supportive. Guess what. I went to Whole Foods today....I was by myself and apparantly my sanity and normally level head didnt go with me. I bought 2 pints of ice cream and another pint of blueberry sorbet. Just got home and have already Racheled the chocolate rasberry swirl ice cream....its all... -

I'm not sure what my problem is lately but suddenely I feel as if I've run out of patience. It might be because of all the anxiety I had waiting for the Lyme results (it was just building up inside) but I just feel like I could lose it any minute. I feel anger over the littlest things right now....like I'm angry that they messed up my blooddraw... -

Sorry Vincent, There isnt a cheap way to find out about something like this. I've been waiting 4 years just to find a Dr. knowledgeable enough to run the tests. I've wanted to find out about this for soooo long now but unfortuately theres no way to do it w/out a Dr.'s help....unless maybe you become an expert yourself. Oh...going back to the... -

Yeah....personally I believe that MSG is one of the biggest factors in this epidemic of obesity we're seeing in this country. I can almost guarantee that the removal of it from our food supply would "cure" this country of this ever growing problem. HELLO....they use MSG to fatten up mice for experiments. Now is it normal for rats to be obese???....I think... -

Rachel--24 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I dont think there is a specific level that is considered to be toxic since we are all diferent and it would depend on alot of different factors. How toxic our bodies become probably depends on so many things such as lifestyle, diet, stress, how well our bodies are able to detoxify, etc. I could be wrong but I'm kind of skeptical of Dr.'s that use only... -

Hi Kathy Ann.... If testing proves mercury to be a problem I'll be taking steps to remove the mercury through chelation. I guess I'll be the guinea pig here...for the sake of scientificness. When you remove the fillings you prevent further poisoning and resulting damage from occurring. However if toxic levels have already been reached and the mercury... -

Rachel--24 replied to Rachel--24's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I would be suspicious if the symptoms started shortly after any of the fillings were drilled out. What *should* be done during the removal is a rubber dam should be used to prevent you from swallowing or inhaling bits of the fillings while they're drilled out. They should use a vaccum type thing that sucks all the vapors out of the building so as to not expose... -

hehe...Vincent what are getting at?? Vincent, I'm certainly not an expert but I would guess that you could have a mercury burden taxing your system. It could be something else though. The fact that your getting sick during the time your getting all the work done would be a little reason to suspect something from the teeth. 20 amalgam... -

Hehe....we'll see. He's not my boss anymore you know.... Well....not that he ever really was. I'm my own boss. I did see your question...how many "silver" fillings do you have?
