    Having said all that...I REALLY hope that in a couple years I can post that I'm having a baby AND that I'm breastfeeding that baby!! When I was healthy I always figured I would never breastfeed...because honestly I didnt know the benefits. I was so clueless that I wondered why anyone would WANT to deal with all that hassle when you could easily use formula...

    Its certainly conceivable....but I doubt its an issue. I'd bet that if they tested the formula mercury would not be detected. On the other hand...its been shown that most of the mercury burden in our bodies comes from dental amalgam. Its also been shown that mercury is excreted through breastmilk...in significant amounts. The amount of mercury found...

    Yup...its frusterating when parents dont consider dietary changes. I still believe that these kids who are suffering all these food intolerances have underlying issues. If it were my child I would definately make diet changes (as I did for myself) BUT....more importantly I would look deeper to get to the root cause. I would do no different for my child...

    Thanks Paula...I'll pass this info. on to her. Shes not an only child...she has 2 sisters...age 9 and 10. They're all very close. The other 2 girls are not having problems with sickness. She did say her oldest had even worse asthma than this one when she was young. It cleared up though and now she only gets it once in a great while. Apparantly...

    I know that she does dilute the juice....she said she dilutes it quite a bit. I'm pretty sure thats what she told me...but then again my memory does suck! She never said what the measurements were...or anything like that...just that the juice is very diluted.

    I agree with your Dr.!! Theres no time (or money) for that. They're moving to Germany in 7 weeks.

    So its bad either way?? Why would it be different from drinking it from a regular cup??

    Carla, I dint know whether it was "fact" or not but I did believe that the immune system is weakened during pregnancy. Mainly because SOOOO many people post that they became symptomatic during pregnancy, autoimmune disease (Celiac, etc) were triggered during pregnancy and so on. Lots of people seem to have lost their health during pregnancy. ...

    She doesnt only get headaches at home. I think she gets them more frequently at work. She's my boss...she tends to stress out alot at work...because shes under alot of pressure. I think if she was exposed to mold at home she would be more susceptible to symptoms caused by stress. She would be more vulnerable to stress if there are other underlying factors...

    Ok...I'm really frusterated becauase I just lost a long post. Gonna try again.
  11. Rachel--24
    I was reacting to everything I ate as well....but I didnt have dreams when I was eating healthy/organic stuff...even though I was still reacting to everything I ate. Its only when I eat processed stuff...stuff with lots of chemicals, additives, etc. Those are the things my body really struggles with. Toxic things.
  12. Rachel--24
    Anyone know of any mold test kits I can pick up?? For some reason I thought they have some at Home Depot?? I just want the quick kind that might indicate whether theres a problem or not. We've had plenty of discussions on mold here in Rachelville....but right now I'm scared to GO BACK! Mold plates??? Where can I buy one without ordering...

    I finally get to catch up on reading this weekend. My mom's hubby (who teaches at night) was on vacation all week. He likes to spend alot of time on the computer so I wasnt able to get on much at all. I think I'm pretty far behind. About the nightmares....I used to have them almost every night for 2 years straight! It totally stopped once...

    I'm driving home today...I'm kind of worried about what I might find. I have no idea how strong winds were in Manteca yesterday. A few years ago I was in the bay area for the weekend and when I got home the whole backyard looked vandalized. My patio furniture was scattered all over the yard. My BBQ (which is big and heavy) was lying on its side on...

    Donna...I remember when you posted about that tree falling down! Wow...its been a whole year! Apparantly, I was spared alot of the storm drama...I barely noticed anything...except that it was raining hard at times. I was cursing the wind a little because I HATE wind....especially when its flipping my umbrella over! I was inside my store all...

    Heres another factor that most likely contributed to my problems eating "normal" foods containing gluten. My body does NOT do well with chemicals. I'm pretty sure it wouldnt appreciate the added toxicity from consuming bleached wheat flour. That could actually be part of the reason I reacted to the donut and the pizza...too many toxic chemicals...

    I could skip treatments and just do minerals....but I dont really want to ...especially since I'm feeling ok. I'm seriously going to work on this and address those deficiencies. If my next challenge results dont show improvement I'll skip a treament or two and just focus on building back up.
  18. Rachel--24
    Kassandra, Its impossible to say what my reaction was to gluten since I reacted to so many things. I react much worse to chemicals in processed foods...and most foods that contain gluten are also containing alot of other things that might be even worse for me. So I have no clue. I'm not having any obvious symptoms from some things I'm eating...

    I got the results of my latest provoked urine test. I've been studying it since yesterday...trying to figure out exactly what it means. Basically the results are very similar to the results of my first challenge. In the first callenge 9 toxic metals were excreted...in this challenge all of those same metals were excreted with the exception...

    Donna...you should have woke me up!!! What was your shot for?? I was aware of a few people coming in and out for bloodwork...but I guess I was really sleeping when you came in!! I've never slept in the IV room before....I didnt think I ever would! I'm always reading, listening to music, chatting, texting, etc. I keep myself busy. So...

    April, my guess is that the humaworm isnt a good choice for you. Listen to your body. Each of us is very different in what we can or cant tolerate. Your body may be reacting negatively to something in the humaworm. Since your head got big I'm thinking that something was making your leaky gut worse (some herbs can do this!), something was stressing your...

    Thanks for the replies on the vaccs! My friends daughter has an appt. next week...she called this morning to find out which shots she needed. Turns out she's all up to date. The next one shes due for is the Hep. A. shot...due in Feb. I gotta look that one up...anyone know off hand if it contains thimerosal?? My friend asked about the MMR and her...
  23. Rachel--24
    I read an excellent book on vaccinations. Its very informative. First half is alot of info about thimerosal, the role vaccs play in the development of autism and other conditions, some scientificness about mercury, etc. The second half gives all the pros and cons of each vaccine (which ones can be dangerous, etc) and also provides an alterantive safer vaccination...

    ART is my favorite methed of testing. If I had to choose only one test I'd keep this one since its been the most accurate and the most helpful for me. Not only has it helped to determine where the problems are in my body...but also what the best methods of treatment are. Since I'm sensitive to many things ART has helped with avoiding pitfalls and setbacks...

    I had a really fun night! I didnt get to bed until around 2..and now I'm headed for work....but I'm really glad I got brave and didnt stay home.
