    Hi everyone. Donna, love your new pic. Sorry you're not feeling great right now...stupid sunburn feeling! I totally know how that feels...it still happens to me once in awhile but not so bad that my clothes are bothering me. I hope it passes soon! Lisa, Great to see you posting more often. Keep it up with the positive attitude...

    I prefer IV DMPS over oral DMSA after having tried both. One of my Dr.'s uses DMSA while the other uses every option but prefers IV DMPS. I didnt feel like DMSA was the best choice for me right now....I read alot about both and there is alot of conflicting info out there. My understanding is that DMSA can worsen gut issues...especially with flaring up...

    Birdy, I can sooooo relate to this! I look forward to hearing about your appt. with the LLMD...only 2 more weeks! Andrea, Sorry that you're having these new symptoms to deal with. I hope you can get it figured out with the coco test. I'm behind on posts and I know its been more than a couple weeks since I've called. Hopefully...

    Metals tend to come out in certain order...one urine analysis wont likely tell the whole story. If you have a heavy mercury burden you may have other metals which arent showing up yet. The body gets rid of the other metals much easier once mercury is addressed. Its not easy to detox metals (or anything else) as long as mercury is still an issue. 9 toxic...

    LMAO!! Lisa....OMG...you totally cracked me up!! Sorry your e-coffee wasnt all that pleasant. I cant say that it was one of my most favorite things to do either. Yeah....I gotta tell you....its SOOOOOO much more enjoyable trying my coffee standing up! I think I actually get more symptoms from e-coffee than I got from my starbucks today...

    Patti....I LOVE your new pic. You look great! I'm still smiling about having starbucks today. It really makes it seem possible that one day I'll actually be posting about a Big-Mac. I'm really not gonna go back to my old eating habits...eventually when I can tolerate more healthy foods I'll start adding those in. My body is so backwards...

    Wow...lots to respond to today! You guys have been busy... I'm only on my lunch but just wanted to drive-by and share my exciting news of the day. I got to have another one of the things on my wish list...and nope it wasnt a Big Mac...not quite ready for that yet. BUT...I had a Starbucks caramel frappacino this morning! OMG....I...

    I had a very high malabsorption score...although not quite as high as your son's. I think mine was 913. I tested negative for Celiac but the Enterolab results were all positive...including tTG. In my case the malabsorption wasnt resolved with the diet and I remained sick. I've always been thin and have always had an unusually big appetite but I had...

    Are you still symptomatic and suffering from multiple food intolerances?? It sounded like you werent feeling better yet based on your previous threads. If you're not any better I would guess that your issues have not yet been resolved. The stool tests for candida arent the most reliable method of testing. I think I had 4 stool tests with only one of...

    Thats what I'm thinking as well. Because if the liver was functioning properly the immune system would not be dealing with so many things...and I would think that histamine would be less of a problem. I never had any issues like these until my system became overwhelmed after the dental work. I've never noticed any cyclical pattern or anything but...

    Kassandra...in your case it could be because you also have Lyme Disease. The bacteria is known to attack the spine...causing spinal disorders in many cases. Sandy, Sorry to hear that your daughter is having something else to deal with. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

    I think once the bath is full you're supposed to swish the ball through the water for a couple minutes before getting in...at least thats the way it is with mine. But I'm too lazy. His family isnt really looking for treatment options. They consider him mentally retarded. They werent really of any help trying to work with us on how to improve his...

    April...its the "big head syndrome"...thats why I knew exactly what you were talking about when you described your reaction. I hate big head syndrome!! Well for me...I'm pretty much always in a toxic state...but there's a definate correlation between an even higher state of toxicity and an even bigger head!! Too bad there is no big head...

    I'm really sad because the autistic boy at my work got terminated. My boss had to let him go...too many complaints and he said the "F" word to a customer. He could have stayed but only if a job coach could stay with him for his entire shift...everyday....which just wasnt possible. He did have someone with him for the last 3 weeks until...

    Julie, I have a shower filter. OMG...I totally love it. I think I got it early last year...it probably needs to be changed by now. I used to smell sulfur or chlorine but now the water feels clean and unsmelly. I run the shower to fill up my bath. Unfortunately, I never put one here at my moms house...which is where I'm at all week. ...

    Hi Claire!! Thanks for the update. I was wondering how you've been. I'm sorry that things didnt work out with your ART practitioner. I've been very happy with Dr. Amy. All of my LLMD's bring something to the table...but she brings it all together for me...with ART. I'm pretty sure that at some point in my recovery I'll do something with everything...

    Julie, My typical reactions of head swelling, pressure, burning eyes, etc. Once my system gets overwhelmed I'll react to pretty much anything. Its not like the charcoal is a problem for me...but I'll still react to it at times when my system is in overdrive. I think its similar to what you go through with your angio attacks....but different...
  19. Rachel--24
    Oooops...I totally thought I had reposted this. Sorry April and Rpm. Ok...heres the whole list of goodies from my alternative LLND (Dr. Amy). My goals for this talk: Show you some other factors that we have discovered with ART testing that can interfere with your recovery from Lyme To discuss some non-antibiotic treatment options...

    Hi Mia. I only take it as needed. I used to take it pretty often but in the last few months I've only taken it once. I ended up not having any problems with taking Alinia for parasites...but I had the charcoal on stand-by....just in case. I took it once and as always...it helped. I take it away from *everything*...including food. The only...

    It sounds like you have leaky gut....which is why you've become reactive to so many foods. You've most likely developed gut infections...as Carla said. Those infections will allow for the gut to remain leaky as long as they are left untreated. In that case no matter what diet you try you will still have ongoing symptoms and the list of "safe" foods will be...

    Scotty, You mentioned brainfog on your previous thread. Is that a constant problem for you? Do you feel like your memory is impaired since you became ill?
  23. Rachel--24
    This is not the same as Autonomic Response Testing...which was developed by Dr. Klinghardt. I read more about the Applied Resonance Therapy here.. Open Original Shared Link It seems to be more about treating allergies by correcting imbalances in the body...energetically. Autonomic Response Testing does not involve any type of treatment for allergies...

    DQ1 and DQ3 are not the main celiac genes. Enterolab tests arent proven to be valid..they are not considered to be diagnostic. Enterolab says that tTG in the stool test indicates damage from gluten...this could very well be true...but in my case it was not villi damage..so not Celiac. I think other things may cause elevated tTG in the stool test...

    Ditto!! Nice to see you popping in Meredith! So is that thread really all about make-up?? I'm pretty restricted to the few things I use...so I dont think I can contribute a whole lot of scientificness about make-up. Especially since I havent quite mastered the art of putting it on correctly. Yesterday my boss told me that I have something...
