    Double post...dunno what happened.
  2. Rachel--24
    Jin...thanks for the email!! Oh and Carla.... HAPPY ITS-NOT-REALLY-MY-BIRTHDAY!! Hope you enjoyed it!

    Carla, I LOVE rollerskating. Its been a few years since I've gone but its one of my most favorite things! When I was young I spent most of my time at the roller rink. I used to skate competitively...figure skating, dance, freestyle...it was a big part of my childhood. I stopped when I got more interested in the boys at the rink...and less interested...

    Patti...you are the BEST! This is really cool. I know...I know....everyone is pretty grossed out by this stuff but I still find it interesting. I dont know if I'll ever get to "see" my tapeworm but I dont think I'd be freaked out by it. So far it hasnt bothered me. I kind of think of him as a "pet"...an unwanted pet whos days are numbered...

    Yeah...my friend was saying "You CANT tell M. that I gave you a sip....you better not tell her!!" I was planning on going to the same friends house for Xmas Eve but never made it after I took my Ketotifen. M. was really freaking out about me being around other people who would be drinking...I got a long lecture about it....had to promise a million...

    Carla, I had saved a ton of sites on parasites because I was researching that stuff even before candida I think. I never read specifically about tapeworms because I didnt know IF parasites were a problem...let alone which type! Now that I found out about the tapeworm I tried to read whatver I could find. From what I've read...and from what Dr. Amy...

    Awesome Patti!! Thanks for sharing. I wish I could have seen it! Yup...I cant drink at all anymore either! Its been ever since I got sick that I lost my tolerance..and it only got worse over time. I think anyones who's liver is heavily burdened by toxins is not likely to handle alcohol very well. For me its MAJOR problems...
  8. Rachel--24
    Ok...yeah...I guess I've been focused on healing by getting to the root cause. When I hear stuff about taking out organs and such...it just seems WRONG to me!!
  9. Rachel--24
    Alison...my lymph nodes have been swollen for 5 years now and the whole lymphatic system having drainage problems from all the toxins. No way would taking the lymph nodes out help matters!! I never even heard of such a thing. Is that a common procedure??
  10. Rachel--24
    Yeah...but I guess its not that great considering I'm sick anyways! Still...I didnt want to have a low CD57 on top of everything else....it would have made recovery much more challenging. Alison, Thats really sad news. To me it sounds like he had a chronic hidden infection...maybe Lyme...maybe something else. The fact that he...
  11. Rachel--24
    Kassandra, Cool that Dr. H does the CD57....I always like to see where people are at going into treatment...its interesting. So far I think CD57 counts have correlated pretty well with symptoms...going by those who have been tested in this thread. Mine was a 78....my symptoms are mostly unrelated to Lyme. My Dr. wants to see the number well...

    I think I'll be doing IV's for awhile....I certainly HOPE you'll get started on something before I'm done IV's. I'm thinking I'll be doing them for months. DMPS is an IV...but a small one....its more of a "push". How long you're there depends on the dosage. 1cc only took about 5 minutes...3cc's takes about 20 minutes. They dont push it all in at once...
  13. Rachel--24
    Yeah..theres something REALLY wrong with that! HELLO....I spend my Friday's getting IV'S!! Wanna join me for an IV?? Oh well...we'll be meeting for IV's now...so that we can meet for drinks in the future.
  14. Rachel--24
    Donna, About the IV room being busy when you were there.....yeah...it was...I love it when theres alot of "action" going on. Thats why it sucked that I couldnt stay awake! I've actually FINALLY gotten the opportunity to talk to some people! I usually see the same people who are probably on similar schedules for their IV's. I saw...

    Heres a link to an informative radio program regarding candida overgrowth. (scroll down to "Clearing up the Candida Confusion"). Open Original Shared Link This is some good info but unfortunately one importnat aspect is not mentioned. That would be the link between mercury and candida. I started out my journey seeing some Dr.'s who are very...
  16. Rachel--24
    Paula...(and anyone else interested)....the link to those radio programs is working again. Open Original Shared Link For all those who are dealing with candida I would recommend listening to the one titled "Clearing Up the Candida Confusion". Of course I would also recommend the ones about gluten intolerance as well.
  17. Rachel--24
    Oh yeah...forgot about that! Years ago when I worked in produce my friend was pumping...she would then put the bottles right there in the produce cooler. I would get all freaked out cuz her breastmilk was sitting right next to my lunch!
  18. Rachel--24
    I didnt know anyone to recommend any Dr.'s to me...but the Dr.'s themselves just kind of passed me around. I ended up at the HN clinic after finding a flyer in a gluten-free store. They sent me to Dr. S. since they werent able to help me after 8 months. Dr. S. sent me to Anna right away...then after a few months Anna set me up with Amy. Amy talked...

    Elisabet, I dont know of anyone because I'm in no where near you...I'm all the way over here in California. I had thought you were already seeing someone in your area?? Maybe you can call (or email) my practitioner and ask if she knows of anyone in your area. I'm not scheduled to see her anytime soon or I would ask for you. She works here and...
  20. Rachel--24
    I think you just need to see the *right* Dr. There are Dr.'s out there who wont leave you with questions. I'm not saying to go to any random integrative or alternative Dr...but to really take the time to investigate some of the options you might have in your area. You can call and ask questions and find out who really has a true understanding of these...
  21. Rachel--24
    This is highly doubtful..... Yeah...that would be more likely....but still doubtful! I'm in one of the most expensive areas in the country! But Carla....you ARE smart now!!
  22. Rachel--24
    I totally agree April. I was actually trying to get pregnant around the time I started getting sick. It obviously didnt happen which is probably a blessing. Now that I know *why* I got sick...and now that I understand that all of these issues do get passed on...I'm hoping to clean up my body and still have time to have a healthy baby.
  23. Rachel--24
    You guys make it sound so easy!! The thing is....I'd be a working mom. I have friends from work who have breastfed...it seems like a MAJOR hassle. They'd be trying to pump milk in the restroom on their breaks. They've got to put the milk in bottles....so there is still the same chore of washing/sterilizing bottles and such. A checker would be...
  24. Rachel--24
    Sherry, Yes...the hair analysis would be the easiest way to check. You cant look at the mercury levels to determine toxicity though...more than likely nothing will show up. You'd have to look at the essential minerals for clues...as explained in the posts about the hair analysis. I think it was last weekend that I posted it.
  25. Rachel--24
    April, I take T.A.P.S. by Thorne Research. It tests well for me...I was tested for it by 2 different Dr.'s and it tests well both times. Its one of only a few that contain plant stuff and my body doesnt totally reject it. It contains: Milk Thistle extract Artichoke extract Turmeric extract Picrorhiza kurroa extract
