    Villi damage is pretty specific to Celiac. Leaky gut involves damage/inflammation to the intestinal lining but not necessarily the villi. There is a specific test for leaky gut and it does not involve checking for damage to the villi. A person can a have a severely leaky gut and many issues as a result...but no damage to the villi...meaning no Celiac...

    I understand the brainfog for sure....I've been there!! Its very frusterating. What are your symptoms?
  3. Rachel--24
    Scotty, I had the same problems and the same frusterations....nothing I did worked and I tried every diet imagineable. You may want to consider looking into other causes for your ongoing symptoms. It could be that you are not healing because you have undiagnosed issues which are causing you to remain unwell. The ongoing problems with food intolerance...

    I tend to believe that Enterolab picks up alot more cases of Leaky Gut...than it does Celiac. The gluten-free diet would most likely help anyone who has a leaky gut. For that reason I dont believe that improvement of symptoms while on the diet is an automatic diagnosis of Celiac....nor do I believe that these are all cases of Celiac in its early stages. ...

    Rpm, Where state are you in?? Why dont you try posting on the LymeNET board....there are several people posting there that have done ART. Someone may be able to direct you to a practitioner in your area.
  6. Rachel--24
    I dont think very many conventional Dr.'s would have any clue about ART. Dr.'s or practitioners who are familar with muscle testing and natural healing are more likely to know of ART. It was developed by Dr. Klinghardt and is taught by him as well. Different types of doctors and dentists are certified ART practitioners...but it is less likely that you...

    You heard I wear make-up now?? I've always worn make-up. When I first got sick my make-up and normal products I used were bothering me...I kept switching brands until I found stuff that didnt seem to bother me. I didnt know I was toxic at the time. It was trial and error...the stuff I use now doesnt bother me...I havent worn any eye make...

    Yay April!! I'm really excited for you!!

    LED is Laser Energetic Detoxification. First you are tested (energetically) for numerous toxins....LED treatments start a process in which your body begins detoxing these substances more readily. The laser treatments on the site are a different type of treatment.

    Hair analysis is good. Howver, if mercury is an issue...that most likely wont show up on the hair analysis. You would have to loook at the essential minerals for clues on that. If the Dr. looks at the results and dismisses mercury without looking at the minerals..then he's not all that knowledgable about mercury toxicity. Provoked urine challenge is probably...

    After a month of worrying about how Alinia will go...its been pretty uneventful. I never got any horrible die-off or any other problems. The first pill gave me the burning sensations/itching...but the rest of the pills gave me no noticeable reaction...other than fatigue. I was hoping to see cobra in his grave...I was gonna throw some beef and...

    The first couple years that I was sick I had really bad PMS and all of my symptoms got worse around that time of the month...it was heinous and I would totally dread it. I also had very light flow during that time....and my periods were very short. When I changed my diet and stopped eating processed foods that all got better. Only about a week after my...

    I havent had any bad side effects from Alinia...so far its been ok. I think its doing something but I havent seen any "evidence" of my pet cobra yet. He was evicted as of yesterday but so far he hasnt left. Stupid stubborn worm. A few hours after my first pill I had burning all over my upper body...face, eyes, tongue, head, shoulders, back and...

    Yeah...maybe instead of saying "I got self restraint"....I should have said "I got BROWNIES!!" I think I'm the queen of indulgence. I pretty much attacked the fresh homemade brownies that were in Michelle's office yesterday. Last year when I tried that she yanked the brownie out of my mouth before I could get a second bite! This time...

    Sheeesh Donna....what were you thinking?? Luckily I got self restraint and would NEVER think of doing such a thing!

    Mia...I'm still here! I'm not going anywhere...you guys are stuck with me!

    BioSET is totally different from ART. BioSET was helpful as far as giving us an idea of where to look...it gave me some important clues. It was no miracle as far as treatments but for this type of illness there is no one magic cure...it takes alot of work to reclaim your health. I did alot of different things in addition to BioSET treatments. I cant...

    Hi moldlady...nice to see you here. I had all the conventional tests too...tons of bloodwork, CT scans, colonoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasounds, MRI...x-rays and all the testing for various diseases...NOTHING ever showed up. I've had much better luck with my current Dr.'s. Its definately been a rough road but I'm actually doing much better recently...

    It wasnt chelation. Chelation has been really easy. I'm only there for 20 minutes at the most. This was my IV minerals....its a slow IV...2 1/2 hours. Its for replacing minerals that are lost during chelation. The swelling went down pretty quickly...its just sore now. The minerals still get absorbed. Heat helps with the absorption...so I stayed an extra...

    I had several tests which identified fungal issues as a major burden. That was BioSET, ART, kinesiology and a blood antibody test from immunosciences lab. I was only positive for yeast in one stool test....out of 4. I had a stool test which came back positive for C. Diff a couple years back. The traditional kinesiology picked up a few issues that didnt...

    Sorry...duplicate post. I'll take this opportunity to say what a cute pic of your boy April!

    Theres alot more stuff I want to reply to and hopefully will have time this weekend. Heres my update. Another sucky IV experience last night. Well...this time I stayed awake....I wasnt drugged by pizza prior to my appt....so that was good. There was a problem with the IV...she got into the vein but the line wasnt clearing and there...

    I think I was the queen of changing my mind and conveniently "forgetting" certain factors...seemed like everyday I had a new theory.

    Yeah...my spice ship was $300 and I can take it back and forth between my house and my moms if I want to...it folds up. LOL...I guess spice ship looks like a typo for those who werent around when we had the spice names. I agree with Carla...FIR sauna is much better...much more effective at removing toxins. I used to go to the gym sauna...

    Kassandra, If you were to go back to my posts from when I first started learning about Lyme and started this whole process....you will see ALOT of denial. I went back and forth for MONTHS as I continued to test and treat additional factors. I put Lyme in the closet. The more I learned the more I understood that its a piece of my puzzle and...
