    I'm pretty sure its during menses but I'd have to look back on my paper to be sure. It seems like I recall him saying that...except for if I was to do the urine test which he gave me the kit for. I think for the urine test you cant be bleeding so it would be as close to menses as possible and the abx protocol is highly recommended for that test since the...

    April, It is true according to Dr. Harris at IgeneX. He mentioned it to me and said if I decide to retest he would recommend testing at the time of menses. He also gave me a paper with a couple different abx protocols that can be used prior to testing...to hopefully increase antibody production. It was also written on that paper that testing is more...

    With this type of testing the body will reveal things in layers...according to what needs to be addressed at that moment in time. If metals are at the root of the problem and other things have piled on top of that as a result of impaired detoxification...the metals may be hidden behind other layers. Our bodies wont reveal every problem at once with...

    Already...another cruise?? And without YOU?? I cant believe it either...the nerve!!

    HEY PEEP!! Good to see you. There was a customer at my work who was wearing a t-shirt which read "My Peeps". Below that it had 3 peeps lined up....little yellow chicks (like easter peeps). They each had gold chains around their necks with sideways baseball caps on. I thought it was the cutest thing...and I told him so.

    Like everyone said...dont feel like you need to contribute scientificness to post...we're a chatty bunch. I LOVE that!! I second the Mt Capra Minerals.

    Awww Jin...sorry to hear the pie got you sick. Unfortunately there is no easy way to determine mercury toxicity. Its always good to take binders when killing *any* bugs....especially yeast (which has the highest ability to absorb metals). Some binders include: Activated Charcoal (taken away from food & supplements) Chlorella...

    Mia, Heres why I'm really concerned about oxalates causing me problems...via my severely leaky gut. I figure if this is a big problem for me I will take alot of stress off my immune system by avoiding these foods. My response to high oxalate foods leads me to believe its worsening leaky gut and yeast issues. I definately dont want to be eating...

    I had some "bright" idea to eat Amy's Mac & Cheese Friday night. Yeah...I'm paying for that big time. It upset my stomach so much I almost had "D". I dont know what I was thinking but dairy and white rice are low oxalate so I threw caution to the wind...not to mention "forgetting" about my problems with cheese and dairy in general. ...

    Andrea...there has been a tragedy. My cell phone broke!!! So...I'm totally without until Tuesday. They are shipping me a new one....but 2 days is a LONG time without my cell!! So I cant call you today...but maybe during the week? I have my next DMPS treatment on Friday...going up to 2cc's. I'm a little nervous but hopefully it will go...

    They werent the huge sweet potatoes....maybe half the size of the big ones. So picture maybe 3 lbs. of sweet potatoes. Is that better??

    Carla, Congrats on decreasing the metals! Mia, I have alot of links for oxalates on my moms computer. When my vacation is over I'll send them to you...my home computer is sorta challenged and it'll take forever to look everything up. You might have to remind me though...who knows where my brain will be in 7 days. I've been preoccupied...
  13. Rachel--24
    Holy Cow...I cant believe you are shocked by this!!! I thought you knew by now I tend to go a bit "overboard". So yeah...I'm eating all these freakin sweet potatoes and the pounds are falling off of me!! WTH??? I had major inflmmation all over my body as well as very loose stools (which is definately not the norm for me). My brain wasnt doing...

    Hi Nyxie, Welcome! I have Cutlers book "Amalgam Illness". I ordered it back in 2004 when I first suspected mercury toxicity. I have read most of the book and personally I wouldnt recommend that anyone follow this protocol and try to detox from mercury without the help of an experienced Dr. Cutler is not a Dr...he's a chemist who treated his...

    Anyone remember my "sweet potato haze" of last summer?? I got all crazy from the sweet potatoes and lost 10 lbs. in a few days! Yeah...sweet potatoes are a high oxalate food so I figured it might be related. Today I found this..... I'm definately thinking I was "oxalated" really badly that week. Of course I was also eating insane amounts...

    April does have known problems with metals...shes not sure about Lyme though. Hi April! Welcome back to Celiac.com. Sherry, I agree that mercury cant be ruled out without having multiple challenges....its not always coming out very easily...especially in those of us with impaired detoxification. If one chelator isnt showing anything its very possible...

    Has anyone heard anything about annatto with regards to LOD?? I react badly to anything containing annatto and I've avoided it for a couple years now...since I first started the Failsafe/Feingold diets. Last night I tried Amy's mac and cheese even though it used to always cause problems. Its been well over a year since I've had it and I generally...

    Personally, I dont think anyone has chronic Lyme without all of the additional problems which come with it. Chronic Lyme is multifactorial....its never *just* Lyme. Heavy metals are nearly always a part of the picture and coinfections are the rule rather than the exception. It takes a very knowledgeable Dr. (usually an LLMD) to get a good picture of everything...

    Ummm...definately NOT...unless of course I wanna have major pain, brainfog and lots of missed work. I've been doing so well...havent missed any work in months....well except for that one incident where my mom poisoned me with the carpet chemicals. Other than that I've been doing wonderfully.

    Mia, How was your Thanksgiving? I miss your posts. I was thinking about the stuff you react to...like doing better with white rice and not tolerating the brown. Basically not doing well with the healthier foods. Its alot like me...I've always done REALLY bad with the healthy stuff...all the veggies, alternative flours, etc. I'm wondering...

    Not any that I've ever taken. Its pretty clean...just organic aged garlic. I gotta look at the bottle but I wouldnt have bought anything that contained wheat. I totally scrutinize labels. Kinda funny considering I didnt care what the heck I was shoving into my mouth the past couple days at work. I didnt touch the bread though.
  22. Rachel--24
    Sherry...I also didnt have any binders on board at the time I was eating all that garlic. It could have been targeting the yeast and parasites and in the process dumping metals into my system. I'm not sure exactly what was going on but I was pushing it because back then I was only thinking about killing yeast. I thought *everything* was die-off.

    I'm on vacation now. OMG...yesterday was the first time I didnt come home for lunch! I had lunch at work....with everyone else....like a "normal" person! We had some stuff out for Thanksgivivng. I thought I would "try" the meat...which was a roast. I passed up on the ham but ended up eating a few pieces of the roast. The roast had spices...

    Sherry, I used to eat massive amounts of raw garlic a couple years back...while doing the anti-candida diet. I chewed it and swallowed. I reeked like garlic 24/7. I had some bad reactions to it sometimes and was assuming it was die-off. I think it was more than likely moving mercury around...plus I seem to not do well with too much sulfur...
  25. Rachel--24
    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here!!! You guys mean so much to me and I just wanna tell everyone (once again) how thankful I am to have all of you as friends. I've been practically living at work lately!! I was there from 6 this morning till 7 tonite! I'm tired now. One more day and then I'm on vacation.
