    Thanksgiving was last month in Canada?? I never knew this. You would hate to have me living in your house!! I dont listen to heavy metal (yuck!) and the country music is minimal...but music is always playing....and very LOUDLY. Lots of spanish stuff. Yup...this is my 3rd Thanksgiving since joining the board and making...

    ARCHIVED Changes

    Rachel--24 replied to Kaycee's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    Thanks Scott, I'm beginning to appreciate the changes already. Green is my favorite color. The first shade of green was way too bright for my eyes...the new shade is much better! Thanks for increasing the font size as well.

    IV might actually make a difference for you since its much more effective....also bypasses the gut. Of course more effective means more risk if you're not excreting well. Definately need to check into that first. Its also a good idea to start with a low dose rather than the max. I'm avoiding orals until late in my treatment because of my leaky gut/yeast...

    Yeah...definately encouraged. I'm just bummed because I wish I'd been able to start my chelation awhile ago (like last year) so that maybe I'd be eating more normal foods this holiday season. The holidays is the hardest time for me because theres so much food that I wanna eat!! OK...I guess theres always so much food that I wanna eat ...

    I think I've pretty much come to the conclusion that oxalates are a HUGE problem. Probably one of the biggest factors (along with mold) in why my diet is so restricted. I dont think this is gonna improve at all until I can do something about the leaky gut. I dont think I can do much to change any of it until I start getting the mercury burden down so...

    I'm all confused because I WORKED today....it feels like Monday to me. Yup...its that time of year again. I'll be surrounded by people buying all the TREATS and GOODIES that I cant eat...once again!! 4 more days of hell and then I get to do it again for Xmas...and then again for New Years. FOOD IS EVERYWHERE.....and I'm eating beef and peas...

    I think I'm getting used to the board changes now. I took Tindamax when I was being treated for C. Diff. It was the first thing prescribed but I didnt feel that it was what I needed since its for parasites. I asked to be switched to Flagyl instead. I later found out that the Tind is used for C Diff as well. I only took the Tindamax for...

    You may want to consider testing for Lyme Disease....as these are all common symptoms. Testing is very unreliable but there are a few very good specialty labs...such as IgeneX. False negatives are still common but less likely when using a lab with better tests (higher sensitivity). Many people here with those ongoing symptoms who have chosen to persue...

    Heres some info. re: why its important to deal with mercury when fighting chronic infections such as Lyme. MERCURY AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM In 1984, David Eggleston, Associate Professor at the Department of Restorative Dentistry, published a preliminary report, which demonstrated the ability of amalgam and nickel to affect the total percentages of T cells...

    I had DMPS again yesterday. It went really well...no problems at all. I wish I had been collecting urine again but I do feel alot better knowing that last time the metals were coming out. I wish I had started earlier so that I might be eating holiday food this year. I had a baby dose again (1cc). My Dr. wrote on my chart "DMPS 1-3". The...

    I cant read the board as well....it hurts my eyes. I'm not sure what it is cuz I love green ....its my favorite color...but my eyes dont adjust too well to this. All the posts seem to run together. Hopefully my eyes will adjust cuz right now its hard for me to read the posts. Maybe its the font?? Is the font lighter or something??
  13. Rachel--24
    Unfortunately this stuff is true. I've posted a little about it awhile back. There is a definate link and very often people who are highly toxic with metals will notice reactions to EMF's. There was a time when I'd feel it just sitting in front of the computer...although its not so bad anymore. My Dr.'s have talked to me about EMF's and I've been tested...

    Happy Birthday Sherry!!

    My computer is doing weird things. Sorry for another deleted post.
  16. Rachel--24
    No problem Kassandra.
  17. Rachel--24
    Looking forward to your update Laura.
  18. Rachel--24
    Oh...I'm sure of it Donna. I post on another board and recently a few people have ordered the Igenex tests...all came back with positive Western Blots. Its a small board in comparison to this one and I'd still guess that *most* of the posters there are dealing with Lyme, candida and heavy metals. I've invited people over to this thread....I think one...

    Ami, We're here for you...dont worry about posting your feelings. Your family is in my thoughts. I'm very sorry for your loss and hope that you're doing ok. Its difficult to understand why these things happen. I was very worried about it from the start. I think God has his reasons...everything happens for a reason even when we cant see...

    Hi Morgan....good to "see" you. Love the new pic. Sarah...yeah all of Carla's girl's look like Carla.
  21. Rachel--24
    Judy....of course you can post it in the oxalate thread. I had planned on doing that but I never got to it. It was the results from my DMPS challenge test which pulls out heavy metals. Unfortunately, the drawback is that it also pulls out the essential elements as well. The lab tests everything and I was found to be low in calcium and selenium...

    When I did a parasite cleanse a couple years ago the very next day I saw what was probably a very large worm. I couldnt be positive but its the only time I've ever seen anything like it. Kassandra, If it were me I'm sure I would be quite anxious to get in to see the LLMD...BUT...at the same time I know that the appt. would be more "complete...

    Julie...heres a link to the thread I had on elevated liver enzymes. Open Original Shared Link I dont remember the content but maybe you'll find something helpful from some of the other posters.
  24. Rachel--24
    Julie, Sorry I cant recall. I actually never received copies for those test results...for some reason I never got them.
  25. Rachel--24
    Actually its already got that "distressed" look....you know like $100 for jeans with holes in them. So yeah...my new "worn" stuff looks even more worn.
