    Awww...poor Seth. I would suspect the oregano oil too. How long will you be taking these things for your infection??

    Thanks Judy! I'm really happy that it went so well after I'd been dreading it all week. I was debating whether or not to let them know about my reaction to the last IV cuz I didnt want them to cancel my test. It all worked out and I'm really happy with my Dr.'s decision to do the DMPS by itself. I will get my results in a couple weeks....

    Robbin...mashed potatoes and gravy sounds REALLY good!!! I'm glad to hear that you're continuing to feel better and better...I can *feel* your excitement in your posts! When does the probiotic become available? My brainfogginess is pretty much gone too!! My mom was just pointing this out today...because I had headphones on (listening to...

    What I'm curious about is whether or not the oxalates continue to be problematic?? Taking something that would help to eliminate them would definately cause a rise in the testing....same with chelation. If I kill yeast there will be an increase of dead yeast that my body needs to eliminate.....however it doesnt totally solve my yeast problem. I'd have to...

    Theres really no way to determine whether or not heavy metals are an issue without having the testing done...and even then its sometimes not clear. We're all exposed to the heavy metals...its just a matter of how well we're able to detox them and how heavy the burden is. If someone has a heavy load of mercury in the gut taking antibiotics can...

    I think this can easily be determined with both provoked urine challenges and hair analysis while embarking on the LOD. Same as with chelation....progress can be determined with these tests...the hair analysis can be extremely valuable. In a mercury toxic patient the hair analysis may not show elevated levels if the person is not excreting and if all mercury...

    I cant say for sure but my own experience with burning skin seems to always be related to neurotoxins. I think in my case its mostly caused by mobilization of the metals. For me the burning can be anywhere but its primarily on my upper body...face, shoulders, arms and upper back. Occasionally I might feel it on my shins or feet. Dr. Klinghardt is probably...

    Amanda, Thanks so much for your response. I had my IV yesterday and the Dr. decided to leave out everything and just do the DMPS....if theres a reaction he wanted to be sure its not the DMPS casusing it. Yesterday was my first time with it and it went really well...so it was definately the vitamin c or something else (glutathione or minerals)...

    Yeah....its been a little over a year since my first appt. with Dr. S.!! It was last Sept. that I saw him and got all the Igenex testing done. He sent me to see Anna in October/November. I started seeing Amy in March....then Dr. M. just a few months ago for the LED's. Hard to believe at the start of this thread I didnt have any of these Dr.'s. and...

    Thanks. My session went very well...no adverse reactions. Most definately chelation should not be taken lightly...and it should only be done by a very knowledgeable Dr. with alot of experience in heavy metal detox/chelation therapy. I've been working with my Dr.'s for over a year now. They would not begin any kind of chelation until my body...

    Ok...my IV went alot better this week. I guess thats probably because I didnt actually have an IV. Andrea, sorry I had to rush off the phone...as soon as I answered they called me to the nurses station. So I never got a call back today but when I got there the nurse explained that Dr. S. decided to not give anything but the DMPS for today...

    How long have you been taking the aloe vera juice?? I had alot of problems from aloe vera juice...the brands I tried all had citric acid (which comes from aspergillus fermentation). Its probably a long shot but if you've been taking it this whole time it cant hurt to eliminate it and see how things go.
  13. Rachel--24
    Kassandra, Why did I think you had low iron?? Apparantly I wasnt too focused cuz I totally thought you had low iron...but apparantly you have HIGH iron....in that case my whole post to you made no sense. Anyways, I agree with whats already been posted. The Dr. is treating the symptoms but not getting to the root cause. Theres alot...

    You can take binders that are not chelators...they just bind with the mobilized metals preventing them from causing more damage. The best is probably chlorella (from a good source). Its an algae very capable of binding with metals in the gut. It also has many other health benefits....some people dont tolerate it well though. I cant take chlorella or...

    I'm not Carla but yes....it would be a temporary worsening of symptoms. Some people refer to it as "die-off"...I think of it as a redistribution of heavy metals. Yeast and molds bind with heavy metals. If you have a problem with mercury from amalgams...you would very likely also have a problem with fungi. If you kill the yeast...the metals they were bound...

    Carla....thats awesome about how well Chloe is doing!! I'm so glad she got treated early and is showing so much improvement! Be back later to respond to more posts.

    Mia, I take ® Lipoic Acid...this is what my Dr. has me taking on my chelation days. I never looked into the difference between ALA and RLA. This is what it says on the bottle... Lipoic Acid is one of the most thoroughly researched and highly regarded antioxidants. R-Lipoic is the biologically active portion of the molecule, and provides maximum ...

    Hey Ridgewalker! No need to try to dig through the pages.....just ask anything. I have no problem with repeating stuff or pulling up older posts. Figuring out metal toxicity wasnt too difficult for me since it was more obvious than in most cases. I actually got sick right after dental work....I went from having no symptoms or intolerances to having...

    Amanda, I'm curious about Vitamin C. What is your experience with it? I've read that excess Vitamin C can convert to oxalate for up to 2 weeks! I've had problems with Vitamin C since I got sick....I always react to it....sometimes the reaction hits pretty quickly....other times its delayed. When my body seems "overloaded"....like it would if I...

    OK....I totally posted in the wrong thread!! WTH happened??? Ummm....just nevermind my last post cuz it makes no sense...and Amanda isnt here. I will now move it to the proper thread. Sheeeesh....too many chocolate chips??

    Wow Kassandra....this does make Lyme seem more likely. I guess I missed that you'd been bitten by something if you posted that before? Were you meaning to say that you were "asymptomatic" before camp?? Did you have no symptoms prior to that? Were you having problems with your spine before you got that bite?? I think I probably mentioned it before but...

    This is pretty much how my diet is as well...yeast free, mold free, 100% avoidance of neurotoxins, very low salicylates, low amines (only very fresh meat) and anti candida. I have the biggest problems with yeast and mold...then it seems that oxalates would be next in line. The foods which are high in molds as well as oxalates are the worst. I'm another...
  24. Rachel--24
    Hi Amanda.....thanks for joining in and sharing your story. Its very helpful. It makes sense that candida would flare during "dumping". Our bodies are a whole eco-system...there are metals, bacteria, yeast, oxalates....and all sorts of toxins playing a role when we have symptoms of chronic illness. These things are not hanging...
  25. Rachel--24
    Andrea....I agree. You should call the Dr....the blood showing up concerns me too.
