    For anyone who's dealing with candida this page has some good info. on candida and molybdenum. Open Original Shared Link

    I got the results of my last provoked urine test. The results look just like Dr. Amy had predicted. I still have all the metals coming out (9 of them)....but just barely. So yeah...the mercury is locked up. Theres no reason to continue with IV DMPS right now. I have an appt. with Dr. S. tomorrow and I plan on asking him for some specific tests to check...

    I think the pathway stuff can be really complicated. I havent had alot of brainfog lately and I think some of this stuff is actually sinking in...and it makes sense to me! Good luck with this Julie! Hopefully there will be NO outbreak to cause problems.

    I had never even heard of tungsten until I saw it on my lab results. I tried to find info online but didnt find anything significant. When I asked my Dr. about it he said that he wasnt concerned with the tungsten....he said the main concern was the mercury...along with cadmium and lead. I'm thinking that tungsten isnt likely to cause problems on its own...

    Julie, I think you asked if my hair analysis showed elevated copper? Unfortunately, it was not included in the test. So...I have no idea either way. It would probably be good for me to have a more updated hair analysis since that one was from about 4 years ago. When I first got sick I bought this book on mercury toxicity...at that time...

    I've got more scientificness on molybdenum. I'm guessing I'm having problems with all 3 of these enzymes because.. #1. I'm reacting to sulfur and phenols. #2 I've had low uric acid #3 Reacting to lots of perfumes and other scents. The aldehyde oxidase enzyme protects us from toxic "aldehydes".....this includes the...

    This isnt a test for diagnosing leaky gut syndrome so I dont think a negative result would rule out leaky gut. There is a specific test that is used in diagnosing LGS. Like you I am more interested in treating the underlying issues rather than avoiding so many foods for life. I also have multiple chemical sensitivity. In order to heal the leaky...

    I have problems with the dyes, artificial sweeteners and pretty much all phenols. This is something that was triggered 5 years ago...prior to that I had no problems metabolising these chemicals. If phenols are involved its usually an enzyme deficiency that prevents these chemicals from being broken down and excreted. Instead they circulate throughout the...

    Hi Mia. How the heck do you stay in there for 45 minutes?? I get really impatient and bored after about 10 minutes. I have to force myself to stay in after that. The only time I'm not thinking about how long I have to sit in there is when I'm on the phone. Hehe...yes....my phone even goes into the bath with me. I dont know what I...

    I love lamb too! Unfortuntely I dont have that same phenomenom with it. It hates me. Hmmm...I dunno about ALL my thoughts. I think food is on my mind quite a bit too. Carla, my "crush" is moving to another country in about 48 hours. So yeah...my head is buried in scientificness. Sulfites, PST enzymes and molybdenum deficiencies have...

    I did this test. I just wanna point out that spitting into a small tube (and filling it to the line) is not as easy as it looks! Maybe its just me but I found it to be quite challenging. It was a PITA!!!

    I can totally relate to this Julie. I'm so sorry that you have to be feeling this way right now. Hang in there....I think that you're doing better than I did when I was faced with tough times. I admire your strength. P.S. I owe you a pm. My head has been buried in scientificness.

    Ditto. Thanks Birdy!

    Ok...so heres where the molybdenum fits in with the other stuff I've been talking about. Too much copper or iron can lead to a deficiency of molybdenum...and vice versa. I dont think its as simple as supplementing the molybdenum but its possible that it can help reduce the severity of symptoms. I think the underlying cause is the...

    Thanks Carla!

    Thanks for this info. April. I was poking around the Genova site looking at the different tests. It might be that my Dr. will want me to take something similar to what you took...I'll have to wait and see. xenobiotics are neurotoxins. Heres a list which explains (from Dr. K.)

    I was mostly talking about the sulfation pathway and some of the things which can cause that pathway to become blocked. For my own situation I'm trying to determine what is not functioning as it should...so that hopefully we can correct it. I guess I'm trying to learn more about my own biochemistry and what issues need to be addressed to take the burden...

    I was diagnosed in '99...which was 3 years before my dental work. I pretty much had the thyroid problem under control (without having to take meds) except for during times of stress. It felt exactly like my body was pumped up with adrenaline. I had too much energy....I was just wired all the time and I'd easily "snap" if someone pushed my buttons. I would...

    YAY...I wasnt as far behind as I'd thought....only a couple pages. Birdy, it could be an allergic reaction since you seem to be very sensitive. I know that I've had that exact pain on the top of my wrists as well as in the tendons. Its been maybe a year since I've had it but for me it was linked to either a food or supplement I was on...

    DITTO!! I wonder if you had what my mom and her hubby had? My mom was sick for a couple weeks with this thing. Whatever it is I'm glad you're getting past the worst of it. I'm behind on posts too. I've been popping in to post stuff but still need need to go back and read the last several pages.

    Ok...heres more info that I came across.

    The dentist office called me this morning. She was very friendly and just passed on the info. that I had requested. OMG...as I was writing it down I felt myself start to get naseous. I felt like I might throw up. I dont even know where this is gonna take us but I just feel like pieces are falling into place. I really hope it leads to something. The...

    I know that with every other dentist I didnt ever have to be injected so much. I dont recall ever having had problems with it or not responding. I think this dentist just made bad decisions while he was treating me. I think he used excessive anesthesia because my whole face ended up numb. He may have been asking me if I still had feeling but I think...

    Thanks for the link Julie. It was after he drilled out my amalgams. There was no infection...apparantly the antibiotics were to prevent infection. Is that normal?? I think this dentist was just a complete idiot and did EVERYTHING wrong. Lets see, he injected me repeatedly with the anesthetic....then he proceeded to drill out the fillings with...

    I think for something like this to occur there would have to be some genetic predisposition or some circumstances already going on and this might just tip the scales. I'm thinking that we just arent made to be dealing with the kind of toxic insults we're dealing with nowadays. I'm sure there has always been a large portion of the population with some...
