    Carla, I dont know why but I always burst out laughing thinking about that. I totally remember when that happened...I was like "NOOOO....this is NOT right!!"

    I'm going to start using the SpiceShip again. My Dr. wants me to do them again...as long as its not too close to the days I go in for DMPS. YAY...you guys know I'll be in there all winter if I can. I am not liking the weather changes. Kassandra, I LOVE shopping...its all the freakin chemicals that end up getting to me. My favorite...

    Kassandra, Are you saying I talk alot?? Do you know when you're coming up here to see the LLMD yet?? By the way...just thought I'd let everyone know I spoke to Lisa. Shes doing about the same and hopefully at some point she can get the $$ to see a good Dr. I think shes trying to see if she qualifies for disability.

    I had elevated liver enzymes sometime early last year. It was shortly after I took a couple weeks of Metronidazole for C. Diff that showed up in a stool test. It was believed that the liver enzymes were elevated because I'd been on the abx...they retested and they were no longer elevated.

    Andrea..this is from an older post that I never got a chance to respond to but I'm no longer taking compounded thyroid meds. I only tried it briefly at the beginning of this thread to try the "corn-free" thing. The compounded thyroid was costly and my labs indicated that a higher dose was needed after swiching to the compounded stuff. I went back to the...

    Good to see you too Patti! I hope you are settling into your new home and loving it.

    TS, I'm gald that you got an answer for your ongoing health problems. I think Carla said it all very well. Its such a huge relief to finally *know* what is causing so much pain and suffering but at the same time it can be quite overwhelming. The more you learn the more "in charge" you will feel. You will do fine and your kids will learn...

    So these were the metals that were pulled....in order of highest to lowest. Tungsten Mercury Antimony Nickel Cadmium Lead Thalliuim Arsenic Tin I have no idea what Tungsten is but he said its not a concern...we're mainly concerned with mercury, cadmium, lead....the more toxic metals that are coming out. Aluminum did not show...

    Oh....about the DMPS challenge tests. Dr. S. said the pattern is usually that of a bell curve. The first challenges are low and then mercury starts going up...it peaks and then starts coming back down. Its exactly the same as how Dr. K. describes the results of hair analysis during chelation. Dr. S. said he had a patient who did a provoked urine test...

    Rinne...I know what I said about pink several pages ago....but I've had a change of heart. I LOVE pink now. I think it might be my new favorite color. Yeah....originally I said that pink has no place in my life....that it would probably cause me a setback or something. Then only a couple days later pink was EVERYWHERE!! I had no choice...
  11. Rachel--24
    Donna...I'm pretty excited but at the same time I try not to get too excited....its still not a fun process to go through but at least I'm finally THERE!! You know how Dr. S. is...so it was really a big thing to hear him say that this is most likely the cause of my problems and we need to start chelation. Its something I've known for so long.... but...

    Jin, Yup.....I was missing in action for a few days! It was kind of weird to be away from the computer for a few days and not really panicking about it.....I guess thats progress. My mom's computer crashed and the new computer is pretty sketchy....already causing me grief. I kept myself busy over the weekend. I skimmed through alot...
  13. Rachel--24
    I'm back online!! Andrea, I was able to get on here last night but it was too late to catch up and post. Thanks 4 updating. So as previously mentioned I saw Dr. S. yesterday and got my results....FINALLY! Jin...it was the longest 2 weeks ever!! I saw where you posted 5 days went by in the blink of an eye...ummm...I *wish* it had been that...
  14. Rachel--24
    Dunno what happened cuz my post got sent prematurely?? I deleted this one.....the whole post is below.

    Hi Peace!! Of course I remember you. I'm actually doing pretty well despite the restricted diet. I've made alot of improvements...I surprised the Dr.'s even!! I'm not doing BioSET at this time...its been several months since I've gone. The intolerances are a result of my toxicity...so I figure as long as the metals are there things arent...
  16. Rachel--24
    Rinne...YES YOU ARE!! OK....so tell us about the new treats...are they a different type of treat or new flavors for Rinne bars?? I'm pretty sure that I'll be eating ALL of them someday. Heck....you *know* you're gonna get rich once they show up in my area. The stores will have trouble keeping them on the shelves once I find them. OMG...

    Kassandra, Its entirely possible! I posted about the same thing a few weeks ago. I definately dont have problems sleeping but when I started binging on chocolate I was pretty hyper during the day and waking up in the middle of the night not being able to go back to sleep. It was only when I was eating the chocolate.

    Oh the recipe for the bath is 1-2 cups epsom salts and 1 cup baking soda.
  19. Rachel--24
    I do epsom salts and baking soda together....in HOT water. The epsom salts draw out toxins...the hot water pulls toxins to the skin and the baking soda (which is very alkaline) helps the toxins come out of the skin faster. I sometimes sweat for awhile after taking the bath. I also sometimes just do baking soda by itself.
  20. Rachel--24
    .....and I'm not done yet. Theres still lots to go on and on about. Be back later.
  21. Rachel--24
    Hey Lisa...My face looked like this when I started reading your post. I was thinking I need to start praying harder!! Its good to see that you havent lost your sense of humor!! Ummm...I could do this but then I'd be acting totally out of my mind and rambling on about all kinds of things that I probably shouldnt even be mentioning and...
  22. Rachel--24
    Yeah...especially with me running my mouth. Heck....you guys think I have alot to say in my posts!! Just wait till you hear me on the phone. Andrea can confirm this I'm sure. I had one person tell me that after getting to know me and after being around many mercury toxic people over the years...theres just no doubt. She said mercury...

    Welcome to the new comers...Zook, ShadowSwallow and anyone else I may have missed. Kristina, The body is VERY good at healing itself...this is what its always working at when something isnt right. My opinion is that if the problems are chronic and things arent improving its usually because its something which the body isnt able to...
  24. Rachel--24
    I think if I can keep my head clear I might actually go back and edit/update post #1 today.
  25. Rachel--24
    I got behind on posts. I kept trying to post the past couple days but was sidetracked pretty easily and never completed anything. Ummmm yeah......too many sweets. I'm thinking my major improvements as far as having fun, tons of energy, laughing and socializing more..etc probably had alot to do with ditching the ice cream. Imagine that...
