    Judy, I'm pretty sure Carla was using it....not sure if she's still on it. It can be used as a toxin binder (absorbs toxins)....lots of people with Lyme and other infections use it to help with getting rid of the toxins that circulate.

    My whole life people have said..."How can you eat ALL of that food and still not gain any weight?? Where does it go??" Ummmm...maybe I have a tapeworm!! Oh...and by now I'm sure he is not alone...he has friends and they eat ALL my food...especially when I eat the good stuff.

    Well...I hope my body doesnt try to hold onto the metals because I'll be doing DMPS injections all winter.

    Carla, I know I'm too late but can I just say PUMPKIN!!!! Pumpkin is definately my favorite but I think alot of you know that already. I think it might be Donna's favorite too. Next is cheesecake but I'm not sure if thats considered pie?? I've never had pumpkin cheescake...but OMG...I think I *need* to!!

    Oh yeah....I had forgotten about the CD57 results. I'm not sure if chelation would cause IND's or previously negative bands to become positive but I think its possible. I would imagine that chelation is stirring up the infections and the immune system might be more *aware*....and also more capable of fighting as the heavy metal load is reduced. I think...

    Rinne...good to see you!! Its so nice to see that many of us are feeling much much better this year! I'm glad you're doing well! I sense an excitement for the holiday season that was not here last year...it makes me really happy! By next year we'll all be ready for a Rachelville gathering!! With plenty of Rinne Bars of course.

    It can get so overwhelming. Alot of the problems we get are actually symptoms of a deeper hidden problem. I got my thyroid destroyed with radiation because I had Graves Disease. Knowing what I know now I would never have allowed them to do that! I cant change it but I do believe it was unnecessary. I dont think I would have ever developed autoimmune...

    A long time ago (before illness) I had a yeast infection and I used those Monistat suppository things and it worked really well. It happened twice and both times that stuff worked for me.

    Yeah....something has changed in the world because all the girls are maturing very fast. I think I was about 15 when I started!! My friend says she thinks her 10 year old is about to start. That seems so young to me....and yet according to what people are saying...10 is late now??!! WTH?? Yeah...I had this type of ultrasound done last year...

    Mia...why would you need to retest?? You had very clear and positive tests for Lyme....didnt you?? If I'm remembering correctly I thought that your urine test came back positive? I thought your Dr. had ordered a couple different tests and the results were positive...also you had alot of bands on your Western Blot. Are you still unsure about Lyme?...

    I'm sure this all has alot to do with the increased amount of toxins in our world today. Its very sad. The metals I think just make it so much more difficult for our bodies to cope. A vegetarian diet is not recommended for a person trying to detox heavy metals. I just posted a bunch of stuff about this on another board and I'm pretty sure...

    Sarah, I meant to answer this last night. It wasnt easy for me to quit. I think I made it my New Years resolution several years in a row but could never do it. It was such a habit....I didnt know what to do with myself if I couldnt have a cigarette. I was also in a 10 year relationship with another smoker...so that made it even more difficult...

    So I guess I'm not alone in staying up late tonight! I didnt take a nap...I'm just not sleepy yet. Been sitting here reading and listening to Xmas songs. I think its the music getting me all happy and in the holiday spirit. Now its almost 2 am...and I'm eating beef and peas. Sarah...I'd rather be eating cupcakes! I finally got...

    Laurie, I usually have my mom with me at my important Dr. visits....but she doesnt really understand everything that is brought up. One of my LLMD's had mailed me info. about what to expect for the first visit. He said feel free to bring a recording device since we would be going over many things (a 2 hour appt.). It was a great idea! I got a voice...

    Have you ever tried eliminating these foods to see if there is any change in symptoms?? You may not notice any immediate symptoms right now if dairy is a problem and its something that you're consuming daily. Kind of like how your reaction to gluten wasnt so obvious until you went gluten-free. I would not rely on allergy testing...you may not have a true...

    April, totally wierd that you mention this because yesterday morning I woke up and I could *swear* I smelled like cigarettes. I sometimes sweat at night but I had lots of layers on...plus the heater....so probably was more toasty then normal. Anyways I smelled it!! I smelled it on my hands and all around me...but I havent had a cigarette in like...

    Caraline, I agree with everyone else. It sounds like Lyme is a very strong possibility for you given the symptoms and tick exposure. Hopefully you can get yourself tested soon. Laura, Thanks for posting that info from Igenex. I knew that some tests were not allowed in New York State...but was never clear on the reasoning behind that. Laurie...

    I get all sorts of problems from almonds (and other nuts) but D is not one of them. I very rarely get D from anything....I'm more on the C end. My body just would rather hold onto everything toxic I suppose.
  19. Rachel--24
    Ami, I'm sorry you're still going through this. I hope its over for you soon and that in 3 months everything is better and ready for you to try again.
  20. Rachel--24
    I agree about the dairy. I thought I'd given dairy-free plenty of chances....I went off of it several times (sometimes for months) and didnt really notice significant improvement. Well obviously dairy isnt my only problem so I was still sick even totally off of it. All of my Dr.'s told me to stay off of it because its another burden that my immune...

    Well...hopefully I'm excreting ok. Yup...its this Friday that I go up to 2 cc's....its still not even half of the normal dose but its double what I've done so far! I dunno about that....I have marshmallows here!! ...and nobody to take them away from me. I've also been staring at this gluten-free coffee cake mix that I've had stored...
  22. Rachel--24
    Thats ok....trust me....I'm used to being the odd one out. My mom always said I could never go along with the rest of the group...just always gotta be doing my own thing. I call it "being my own person"....she calls it "being difficult". Who knows...maybe someday I'll try the Humaworm but I've sort of had my eye on Dr. Natura for awhile...

    OMG Jin.....this totally CRACKED ME UP!! I love it!! Donna....not even if it were sparkly pink e-coffee??? ROFLMAO!!!

    Why not just start a prayer thread in the Gab/Chat forum? Anyone who is in need can post in that thread and anyone who chooses can subscribe to that particular thread. Another smaller board which I frequently post on has a thread specifically for prayers. The board does not have seperate forums so the thread is on the main page as long as people are posting...
  25. Rachel--24
    Yeah...and dont forget binders and lots of water to flush it out!
