    My understanding is that heavy metals (esp. mercury) impair the body's ability to detoxify....which allows all other toxins to accumulate creating a toxic environment....or a chronic disease state. Mercury tends to accumulate in the kidneys especially. Heavy metals also inhibit enzyme function which results in an inability to break down foods and chemicals...

    Thanks! Sheeesh....why does it have to be so difficult just to find out whats in our food! It shouldnt require hours of research trying to decipher the ingredient list! WTH! Hmmm...I never did well on any type of sprouted grain. I'll have to check the ingredients next time and maybe try again....but I dont think I tolerate it.

    Any enzymes you take for hypercoagulation should definately be taken away from food....otherwise they will be used to digest your food rather than breaking down fibrin.

    Yes...histamine is released during allergic reactions but it is also naturally present in many foods. There is a specific enzyme that degrades histamine so that it can be eliminated from the body. If that enzyme is missing or not functioning as it should histamine can buildup to intolerable levels. Mercury is known to disrupt enzyme systems in the body...

    Heres a description of why and how flours are bleached...

    I looked it up last night... I guess if it says 100% whole wheat it hasnt lost any of its nutrients. If it says unbleached, enriched or bleached then its been refined and lost some nutrients during that process. When its been enriched they have put back the B vitamins that were lost.....including folic acid which I definately dont want. I...

    Yay...I'm back to eating lots of foods again! I havent had any problems with anything I've eaten today....except a cereal that I had for breakfast. The cereal is plain....like a cheerio type cereal but with only about 4 ingredients. It caused head swelling, fluid retention, brainfog, bloating and a sore throat. There was no milk in the cereal...

    Thats interesting Lisa! I dont know if I'd ever be brave enough to try it (for the sake of scientificness ). I know how badly cigarettes affect me and I know how alot of herbs affect me....so I'm thinking it probably wouldnt go over too well. It might be high in molds...but I'm not sure?? I couldnt find any info about it keeping...

    I think you are on the right track with the heavy metals. This is something strongly linked to allergies and all sorts of imbalances in the body. I'm not sure what type of protocol that you're on....or if you've been going through chelation? What do you mean when you say you've "hit a bump in the road"? Have you stopped excreting metals? Are your minerals...

    Does this mean that she wont be coming down for more frequent visits? I better start looking through my mail to make sure I dont miss the scheduling...hopefully she's coming in March but I havent heard anything. Jin, As far as I know Dr. Amy doesnt go to L.A. I'm in the Bay Area....I see her when shes here.

    I recall that Lymetoo was pretty big on mangosteen juice. She really raved about how much it had helped her. Just goes to show how different we are....because I'm sure it would probably kill me!

    Julie, I went back to my posts in early Jan....I wasnt posting a ton but I was posting. I totally became unfocused right when I went off the Ketotifen and started the Alinia. I had been doing fairly well with foods up until that point....but I didnt know and I continued to eat those same foods without the Keto. I couldnt understand why I was suddenly...

    I've researched transdermal DMPS a bit. My Dr. had wanted me to start with transdermal but I opted for IV instead. TD-DMPS is effective and will move mercury out....however its slower than other methods. My naturopath (Dr. Amy) finds one brand of TD-DMPS to be far more effective than others she's used. I think I have it written down somewhere if anyones interested...

    Charlie, I did M-B12 self administered shots last year but I discontinued since I wasnt noticing any benefit. I'm pretty sure I'm having problems with histamine build up and I learned that b12 increases histamine so I'm definately avoiding it. Folic acid is another one that I've avoided for the same reason....but that one really gives me noticeable...

    Julie, I get night sweats occassionaly...for me they are totally related to my diet....same as the numb hands, etc. I used to get drenching sweats nearly every night up until I changed my diet....now when I get them they are mild in comparison to what I used to experience. Ok...I just slept for 20 hours straight! I didnt go to work today...

    Andrea...yes...I need to call you so we can catch up! You guys are all very sweet but its really not a "romance". Its more of a crush...but I've had alot of fun. I've been laughing alot...just enjoying the distraction and the fact that there is some normalcy in my life. By that I mean that I'm not soooo consumed with the health stuff right now...
  17. Rachel--24
    Just popping in to say hi. As always I'm thinking of all of you. I've been reading along but my brain hasnt been too focused on scientificness...I've been pretty "scattered" to say the least! Hence....my lack of long winded posts. I sort of got side-tracked lately. I kind of unexpectantly fell for someone! See what happens...I totally lost...
  18. Rachel--24
    Oh..before I leave....just wanted to say that more Ketotifen is on its way! If I can get back to eating more foods and holding onto my weight I'll be very ceratin that its an accumulation of histamine thats wreaking havoc on my body. The symptoms match up and I cant think of any other reason that the Ketotifen would be so helpful after having only...

    Hi everyone. I've been keeping pretty busy lately but I'm still reading along when I can. Well I had that one full month where I was really "living it up in the food world"....as Andrea put it. All of that "fun with foods" seemed to come to a screeching halt after I got on the Alinia....trying to get rid of Cobra. Anyways, I've...

    Carla....where did you find info that band 30 is highly specific?? I had a positive on band 30....I did as much research as I could on that band but never came up with anything definate. I couldnt find anything "scientific" that implicated band 30 as being lyme specific. I did come across the info. you posted but in nearly all other lists/charts band...

    Lisa....how could you possibly forget about that kind of trauma?? Chemicals cause all sorts of heinosities for me....burning eyes and skin are more common for me though. When I went on that chocolate binge I think I got damage from top to bottom...inflammation all throughout my digestive tract. My throat felt raw and I think it did burn a little...
  22. Rachel--24
    My stomach still rumbles but as I've been experimenting with new foods I feel that I've learned more about why that is....and I dont think that Cobra is the main culprit as far as that goes. It seems to be only the high histamine foods...or chemicals which might cause a big release of histamine that are causing the rumbling. If it was cobra I would...
  23. Rachel--24
    Cobra. I never saw him....he's a stubborn alien baby for sure! I have to keep treating for at least 5 months.

    I had my mineral IV tonight. I remembered to wear less tight fitting clthing and so I actually had circulation in my arm during treatment. So yeah...by not cutting off my circulation I found I had better luck with the IV tonight...imagine that! I stepped up tonight. I had been on step one mineral IV's all this time. Tonight I went to step 3...
  25. Rachel--24
    Carla....I did think about the Starbucks vs. Big-Mac...so I decided I need to eat one ASAP. I gotta see if they are equal in their toxicness....you know....for the sake of scientificness. I'll report back with my findings. HAHA....just kidding!! I'm not gonna go there!! I'm being so good with my food choices...well maybe not 100%...but still...
