    If a company like Frito Lay wants to add MSG to their food then they must label it in the ingredients. This means that they are adding MSG itself (as an ingredient) into the food. Other companies may not add MSG directly into their food but it can still be present in another ingredient such as Hydrolyzed Soy Protein. In this case they only need to list the...

    I have read that detoxification and chelation of mercury halts autoimmunity....since it is thought to be a major contributer to AI diseases to begin with. I am reading stories of thyroid disease, Myasthenia Gravis and other AI diseases in mercury poisoned individuals but after chelation autoimmunity ceased and health was restored. I'm wondering if this would...

    I've got news for you....MSG is in much more than just Cheetos....its in virtually everything. Its not always labeled as such because if its processed into other ingredients they can avoid labeling it. You are therefore consuming large amounts of a known neurotoxin and are none the wiser...due to what they call "clean" labeling. It is a big deal in my...

    Knowing that mercury is toxic at any amount (we do know this), it would be unethical for it to be used in our vaccines and put into our mouths...but they do it anyway. Why, because they *claim* its safe...science proves otherwise but everyone chooses to ignore these facts....yet people are getting all hysterical over silver...which may be toxic but not nearly...

    Well said...if some individuals arent in agreement with some alternative methods thats fine....but why criticize those who are trying to think "outside the box" and get answers for themselves?? Many of us havent been helped by traditional medicine...I'm one of those people...they caused me more harm than good. While I'm not qualified to give an opinion on...

    No....my troubles stared when they put gold crowns above amalgam fillings. It caused "galvanic reaction"....supposedly this would leech large amounts of mercury out of the fillings. I had a root canal later on due to major pain and non-stop problems since they put the crowns in. Even after the root canal I was still having major pain in the "dead" tooth....

    Judy, I've been posting about this on the OMG thread. I'm gonna post about my appt. sometime tomorrow. The drs. I had been seeing came to the conclusion that based on process of elimination, circumstances and timing of onset of symptoms and symptoms being consistent with that of mercury toxcity....that I should see a specialist who treats this. They're sending...

    I usually dont get myself involved in these types of "debates" however, I have just read this thread and am thoroughly confused. Tailz seems quite geniune in her posts and I did not get the feeling that she was prothelitizing at all. I got the feeling that, as Ursula stated, she's trying to get to the bottom of her health problems. I'm leaving the bible...

    I know what I would do..... Nancy, I think that with a leaky gut the immune system is basically going to be *highly* reactive to all sorts of "invaders". Take away the leaky gut and eventually the immune system is going to calm down and stop fighting all these antigens simply because healing has taken place. For example....When I was really sick...

    Hi everyone! Molly, that sounds really fun! I hope you guys win it all! What do you mean you have no class spirit?? It sounds to me like you have alot of spirit. You get involved in everything...schoolwork, camp, airbands, the Stanford Celiac conference. It seems to me like you have TONS of spirit....I can tell just by excited you sound in your...

    Thats my understanding as well. When I had my hair analysis I was VERY sick. I dont believe at that time my body would have been detoxing...I believe the mercury would have been storing itself into my tissues during that time. I still had fillings in my mouth. When I saw the mercury free dentist he said I was in bad shape. He was the first to mention my diet...

    I mentioned in another post about a video I had seen a couple years ago where scientists had put amalgams into farm animals to see what affect they might have. I came across some info about that study. It basically said that they conducted the studies on sheep. They removed the amalgams from the sheep 6 months after having put them in. The amalgams...

    There are some type of moving white lines called "mees lines" which can indicate either mercury or lead I think. I dont have lines like that. I had some other type of bizzarre lines awhile back....the doctors couldnt figure it out. They were there when I was feeling real sick and taking supplements. Once I stopped taking supplements and started feeling better...
  14. Rachel--24
    Yeah....you're not kidding. My head is so confused with everything I read....nothing is black and white....its all gray areas and contradicting info. I dont think I would be afraid to use an infrared sauna that wasnt made of synthetics. The regular sauna at the gym was made of wood and I didnt have any problems. I'm mainly scared of reactions from...

    I dont think the gene test is a conclusive test at all. They havent determined all of the genes associated with Celiac at this time. There are still genes which are unknown at this time. I think a positive blood test AND a positive biopsy for Celiac indicates Celiac and a gene test would not be needed. The blood work has already proven an autoimmune reaction...

    Matilda....I tested neg. for everything but gluten so I cant really answer your question. I was always confused about Enterolab saying all these IgA antibodies are "for life". I havent seen evidence of this anywhere. As far as I know...once a person heals and if there arent other issues to deal with like leaky gut, candida, etc...other food intolerances should...

    I'm not allergic or intolerant to eggs according to tests but I get real bad reactions to them. I get the worst stomach pains...like someones stabbing me. Real bad foul smelling gas, bloating, spaced out feeling and burning on my face....only some of the weird symptoms I get. I get really nauseus, tired and just basically feel gross. Drs. are thinking...

    Molly...ok...I'm asking. What are airbands? By the way...when is the Stanford conference? Did it happen yet?
  19. Rachel--24
    Well I guess I probably wont be getting a sauna. I was on the mercury toxicity forum and came across a thread about saunas. Theres a guy named Andy Cutler whos an expert on mercury poisoning...I actually have his book...bought it when I first got sick and suspected mercury. Someone had provided a link to what Cutler said about infrared saunas and mercury...

    Thanks for the info Carla. I tried to check out the site but couldnt access it....it said it was under construction?? More stuff about chelation Open Original Shared Link
  21. Rachel--24
    Yeah...thats because here in America its not only those in power who are greedy. I remember the day that McDonalds came under fire about having gluten in their fries. There were people on this board ready to sue. I stated back then that those who had dollar signs in their eyes would in the end be contributing to taking away what some Celiacs have worked hard...

    Heres what it says about diagnosing mercury toxicity Awesome!! Please let me know how it works and the cost...I might want one . I found this interesting with regards to my "ovary pain". I've always said the pain is way down low...its in my pelvic area I guess.

    I dont know about amino acids. If thats something that can be tested by a mainstream doc then I've probably had it done more than once...I had so many tests run by them and half of them I was clueless as to what the tests were for. If its something done by an N.D. then no....I havent had that tested. I've had lots of tests for metal. A few urine tests, a...

    It could be that I just dont drink enough water...I've been really bad about this. I drink maybe one 16 oz. bolttle a day lately. There were times when I was urinating very frequently and then times like now when I'm not. Could it be because I'm not drinking anything? My liver has been tested sooo many times...I've had about a gazillion tests it seems like...

    There *is* something wrong with Dasani water. I'm not sure what it is though. All I know is that I'm extremely sensitive to chemicals and impurities..I have to eat all organic foods, I only drink bottled water and the only one thats made me sick is Dasani. I noticed this a long time ago and I didnt even realize the problem at first but I think instinctively...
