    Thanks Nora, I'm still waiting for the dentist people to call me back. Does anyone know if the dentist would have that info. on file? They did have the info. about which antibiotics were prescribed but would they also keep info. about anesthetics used? About the antibiotics. What the heck?? Why would a dentist prescribe them in the...

    Thanks for reminding me. I fixed it.

    I have only one of their products but I never use it and its totally unrelated to this phenolic issue. Its interesting because I do think something must have locked the mercury up in the head area. Its always been the most toxic area for me in the ART sessions as well as when I had my LED treatments last summer. I dont think you were posting during...

    I think this would depend on who you talk to. Personally, I think its really bad for people who are sick and probably not great for healthy people either. I think its just too polluted....like so many other things...including water. If I was healthy I would definately eat dairy products again...however, I would make smarter decisions as...

    Scott sent me some good links with some info. about phenols I had not come across before in any of my searches. It was an interesting read. Heres one of the links... Open Original Shared Link This site really opened my eyes as to how many different types of phenols there are. Virtually ALL foods contain one or more types of phenols. Theres a tool...

    YAY!! I hope you enjoy the rebounder. Have fun at the concert. Its good to see that you're able to go out and have some fun. Woo-hoo!!

    Elisabet, I havent figured that one out yet. I actually do not tolerate beef except for grass-fed. Recently, the Whole Foods in my area had some shortage on grass fed beef. They didnt have any available for a couple weeks and I had no choice but to buy the regular stuff. I was sick the whole two weeks with major headaches and other symptoms. Once...

    I feel like I've come full circle. I'm going back to the early days of this thread and checking into all of those phenols we talked about back then. I went back to the sulfites because thats one preservative I definately cant handle. I also cant handle the foods rich in sulfur. I know I have problems with sulfur metabolism and the sulfation pathway...

    Hi Charlie Unfortunately, I dont know anything about elevated barium?? I've never had that show up for me. I'm sure there must be some significance....dont give up...keep looking and you might come across something that will make sense to you.

    Julie, Are you looking for a complete list of foods to avoid and foods to eat? I dont think I've ever seen a whole list of foods for this diet. You would want to avoid salicylates....theres lots of sites that have lists for salicylate content in foods. Basically ALL foods contain phenols but not everyone has the same tolerance. For example some might...

    Kassandra, I usually say A.R.T. I guess I never paid alot of attention to how other people say it but I believe Scott also refers to it as A.R.T. I sometimes say "Art" when I'm talking to my friends about it. For some reason I think saying it that way will be easier for them to remember.

    Paula, I think anythings possible. Theres bad stuff in most tap water....chlorine is toxic as well. I think its important to drink and bathe in the cleanest water possible but I dont know that the water alone is the source of your health problems. You never know though.

    Andrea....thanks for doing that search. I'm exhausted now. Gnite.
  14. Rachel--24
    Julie, I have to look through my bookmarked pages. I'll post some links tomorrow cuz I'm past my bedtime again. My moms gonna kill me and I still have to take my bath. Stupid Quack Watch!! Yeah...I think its VERY helpful to follow the diet. Most of the kids benefit from it and I know that its helped me more than anything else so far. Obviously...

    Heres what ART revealed for me... Mercury is still showing to be a major stressor....but particularly in the head area. Mercury was the only metal which was really showing up this time. My primary organ of stress was the entire head. She said mercury seems to be locked into the head area. This was the same thing Dr. M. was saying after I'd had...

    Ok...I'll try later on before I go to bed.

    Birdy, Like Julie said..theres some stuff about th1/th2 somewhere in this thread. I'll try to look for it later if you're interested. The immune system can become dominant on one side for various reasons. The heavy metals would keep the th2 side dominant and when the th2 side is going full blast there tends to be alot of allergies/sensitivities. I cant...

    So last night I told Amy that I have not felt any significant improvement after having done these two rounds of IV DMPS. I told her I feel pretty good overall but still only eating a couple foods and unable to really add in any new foods without running into problems. She said that I should have had gains by now if it were effective at removing the mercury...

    OK....not much time to post but OMG...I had the most exciting appointment with Amy tonight! I'll be able to post the details tomorrow but just wanted to say that it went really well. Better than I'd hoped for. She is just amazing and for me ART is always an exciting experience. It was all very positive. The only "downer" is that mercury...

    Wow....lots to catch up on today. Scott just called me and they're running a little behind so I'm not gonna go in until 5:30. I was so excited for todays appt. and now I'm feeling kind of nervous. I dont think I ever felt nervous like this so I'm not sure whats up with that. I think I'm worried I might forget everything. I purposely avoided...

    Hi Aziza, Sorry to hear all that you've gone through. Have you been tested for gut infections? Bacterial overgrowth? Yeast? Parasites? You might still have ongoing issues because its possible that your intestinal environment is not in a healthy state which would prevent healing. If you're still finding yourself reacting to foods and suffering...

    I have a salicylate sensitivity. Its caused by a deficiency of a specific enzyme (PST). When this enzyme is deficient it causes a sensitivity to phenols (especially salicylates). Phenols are chemical compounds found in all foods....salicylates are found in a large amount of foods (at different levels). Fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices have the highest...

    I would not recommend using any type of enzyme to consume gluten with Celiac Disease. However, if you're just using it to cover for possible cross contamination it may be helpful. I'm taking Peptizyde which contains high amounts of DPPIV....the enzyme which is necessary for the digestion of gluten and casein (I do not have Celiac). It also contains large...

    Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mia, Congrats on finishing the 3 months of Levaquin! Thats great news. Everything sounds really promising...I'm glad you found a GI who's working with you on the motility problems too. Looking forward to hearing more. Andrea, Have a good time at your moms.

    Hmmm...taurine is actually a sulfur containing amino acid...so I'm not sure how well I'll do with it.
