    Yes...you could still need to detox sulfa. I'm guessing that after so many years of abx you would probably benefit from sulfa detox. LED is not for sensitivities. Its for detoxification of specific toxins present in the body. Mercury, other metals, Dioxin, PCB's, etc......a long long list of toxins that either show up in Asyra, muscle testing, ART....

    Julie, I'm sorry that you're having to go through another attack right now! How frusterating! Hang in there and I hope that you can get to see your Dr. soon. I'll be thinking of you. Do you think the sulfa treatment triggered your outbreak? I think that as Sherry pointed out...it could be a clue as to what the origin of the outbreaks might...

    Sherry, The purpose of the LED for sulfa is to detox sulfa residuals from the body. Sulfa is not the same as sulfur. Sulfa residuals are chemicals that have accumulated in tissue from antibiotics and other sources. Sulfur is essential for health....chemical sulfates such as sodium lauryl sulfate are not. Those are the ones that can interfere with...

    Exactly. How many products are on the market with the words GLUTEN FREE on the front of the box?? Can ANY of them guarantee that there is ZERO gluten in the product?? No they CANT....because they are unable to test for ZERO gluten. When you purchase any of these products you are taking their word for it....each and every time. I prefer to support...

    I feel the same. I am no longer gluten free (as of 6 months ago)...however, IF I were still on the diet I would feel better about purchasing a product labeled "Gluten Free" that is routinely tested for CC....over a product that is labeled "Gluten Free" but is not tested. There is no guarantee that the product with the bold label of "Gluten Free" (and...

    I agree. I also agree that leaky gut is a cause of food intolerance...however, *something* has to be causing the gut to remain damaged/leaky in order for the food intolerances to escalate. There are many causes (other than gluten) for leaky gut. In my opinion if the list of food intolerances continues to grow....even after gluten is removed from the diet...

    Julie, exciting stuff. Cant wait to hear how the food phases go....hopefully you notice some positive results by rotating the foods. My LED for sulfa was the one that wiped me out the most. Sulfa and mercury were my biggest.....didnt really feel anything after my other LED treatments.
  8. Rachel--24
    Yeah Donna....where there's a will there's a way!! ummm...oh yeah....I guess in your case the *will* isn't quite there yet. Dont worry though....not all ecoffee-er's clean the bathroom first. I just hang it from whatever and thats about it. It feels like a "task" to me anyway.... I definately wouldnt wanna add to it by first cleaning the bathroom...

    I am not attempting to blame environmental mercury for all of our woes....however, I'm not going to downplay something that is clearly having an effect on our health as well as the health of our children. Personally, I think most of us would handle the environmental mercury if not for the heavier burden coming from amalgams and vaccines. Alot of these...

    The evidence does not really support this. There is WAY too much evidence to the contrary...and mercury is showing up everywhere in higher levels then ever seen before.
  11. Rachel--24
    I think these tests are important. My MD (who is mostly non-conventional) ordered these tests for me. I had all of my vitamins checked sometime last year (bloodtest). For the most part my levels were ok. I've had my minerals assessed with a hair analysis and more recently I requested an RBC (red blood cell) element test which is more accurate. I already...

    I've never felt bad after DMPS IV's. I sometimes feel better for a period of time....I actually look forward to my treatments. On the contrary I HATED my mineral IV's and sometimes I felt worse after those. It might be that the DMPS was moving copper out.....and then the mineral IV's were putting it back in. I wasnt mobilizing alot of mercury...
  13. Rachel--24
    I have to agree with you on this. Unfortunately, if people dont get the message and learn how to protect themselves (and their children) things are only going to continue to escalate. Autism, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Gastrointestinal disorders, Autoimmune Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Asthma, Allergies, etc. etc.....we will see alot more of...
  14. Rachel--24
    You're probably right.....but does this mean that we should just turn our heads and continue to have our children repeatedly injected with known neurotoxins? I cant speak for other parents but I know that IF I become a mother....I will opt for safer alternatives. There ARE formulas which are free of mercury....I may have to pay out of pocket for them but...
  15. Rachel--24
    True....but amalgams that we have in our mouth today are not the same "formula" that was used in dentistry 150 years ago. The fillings have always been unstable (leaking mercury) however, they became even more unstable when the formula changed in the 1970's. The fillings in my mouth would not have been the same as the ones in my great grand mothers mouth...
  16. Rachel--24
    Yes...you're right...mercury has no known use in the body and its toxic to everyone. While its true that other toxic elements have an actual use in the body....the presence of mercury can vastly increase the toxicity of those elements as well as mercury itself. Copper is one element that is toxic if elevated....but its also an essential element....it is...
  17. Rachel--24
    There are Dr.'s that specialize in this stuff. I see some really good Dr.'s with alot of experience. Some of the possibilities they wanted to investigate was mold exposure (which I know is not the issue), high chemical exposure (I know that wasnt the issue), heavy metal toxicity and Lyme...basically because those are the top 4 to cause such severe food intolerance...
  18. Rachel--24
    I was exposed to Lyme at some point because I did have some antibodies in my bloodtest to indicate its presence...however, after lots of additional testing (both conventional and alternative) it was ruled out as a cause for my symptoms. Ultimately, it wasnt my main issue. My main issue is mercury and other heavy metals. My symptoms appeared after having...

    Enterolab cannot diagnose Celiac Disease. As of right now we have no idea how accurate the Enterolab tests are....nothing has been published for peer review. Since the diet didnt resolve your symptoms I think that it might be in your best interest to wait until you've had the tests done. That way you wont continue to wonder what a biopsy *might* have shown...

    Welcome Susie. I responded to your post in the "celiac antibiotic cure" thread.....but just wanted to welcome you here.
  21. Rachel--24
    Mr. Clark is really well informed about gluten intolerance. A long time ago I had a lengthy discussion with him over the phone. I was soooo impressed with him. We were mostly talking about Ketotifen (Clark's pharmacy was the only place to get it), gluten intolerance and leaky gut. I'm pretty sure I probably posted the whole conversation here because...
  22. Rachel--24
    I took Tindamax but it didnt go over well AT ALL. It was a really bad experience....not like a herx...but more like my body was REALLY reactive to it. I actually BEGGED Dr. Carrie to switch me to Flagyl....if that tells you anything. I only took one or two doses of Tindamax because it was clearly not good for me. The pill was pink....so I figured...
  23. Rachel--24
    This is an example of why we cant always trust that what we are told is the whole truth. Nowadays we need to protect ourselves by becoming informed....and by making informed decisions about things like amalgam fillings, vaccinations, antibiotics, etc. ----------------------------------- Who is Dr. Paul Offit? Some of you may recognize the name of...
  24. Rachel--24
    I do believe that thimerosal in the flu shot can tip the scales for some people. My own Dr.'s advised me to NOT ever get a flu shot unless I wanted to significantly worsen my condition. I believe the highest exposure comes from amalgam fillings....as they continuously release mercury vapor. Vaccines are an "all at once" type of exposure...but can definately...
  25. Rachel--24
    Unfortunately this information isnt completely accurate. Again, what we are told is not always the reality.....and what we are told is not always in the best interest of our health. Go back to Carla's post regarding the IDSA for a perfect example of this. Here is some accurate information regarding the mercury content in vaccines today (2008).
