  1. Rachel, I took that Capra Mineral Whey for a while, it's really good quality stuff. I really liked the quote you posted about Candida, especially the part about it being " the expression of a maladapted milieu". Maladapted Milieu=my new favorite phrase. What's wrong with you? I have a maladapted milieu...... Another point that...
  2. Carla, Just popping in to say I love your house! Great porch You will be showing after pics too when the remodel is complete?!?!? Sorry about your ankle Bev, feel better soon. Hi Nikki!
  3. Hiveman, I've responded to your posts before on hives, uticaria, and angioedema. I seem to be the only other member here with severe angioedema. The kind of angioedema I have, and it sounds like what you have as well from all that you describe, is chronic angioedema- also what would be considered hereditary angioedema- meaning outbreaks are frequent...
  4. They sell. apparently, all kinds of nasal irrigation formulas, and there are other things you can put in the water (antibacterials, etc.), but I thought I would go with the salt first. Just a simple saline solution (1 cup warm water and 1/4 tsp good quality sea salt) It is recommended you use a good quality water source too, ie filtered and not tap...
  5. Ami, congratulations. I can't remember if you are taking any supplements during your chelation, but definitely don't take them until you talk to your doctor. I am sure he will tell you not to continue with the IV treatments since it is not recommended for pregnant or breast feeding women. (*edit- posted after I read what Rachel posted, she brings...
  6. That's great that your cycle is normal, I agree that is a good sign. Great info from Klinghardt. When you said you don't get sick even when everyone around you is, that reminded me of something. One of my naturopaths had this awesome book, I can't recall the name of it but it had this chart of the stages of disease. In a normal body...
  7. OMG, how very sad. That is quite shocking, I remember she talked about him all the time and he seemed like her rock with all she was going through..........she must be devastated. I know she had a MySpace, you might be able to track her down that way.
  8. Ditto Andrea what everyone else said, glad you are hanging in there with it all. It isn't easy managing and juggling it all for one person and you are doing this for an entire family of 5 So big pats on the back to you all. I agree that things will turn around gradually. Patti, you didn't get off on a tangent. What's going on with your...
  9. Thanks for the info Carla. I haven't been for a long time, I found the heat drained me. Also it recently went on the fritz, but an electrician came out and repaired it (mine is over 7 years old) and it's up and running again. I am thinking about starting them up again, very SLOWLY, and see how it goes. Rachel, my naturopaths and I came...
  10. Sometimes I get rashes when I wear jewelry too, so for tha last 5 years or so I just haven't worn any because it's so uncomfortable. Which makes me sad too because I love my jewelry and would like to be able to wear it I found this about the black ears Rachel: Nickel is also said to cause black marks (reacting with the skin) Silver...
  11. Good morning all! Susie, I feel like that a lot of times too (overwhelmed, discouraged, frustrated) and just need to take a break from it all. I think it's actually a good thing to step back a little and not think about anything, regroup, and figure out where you need to go next. I do find that when you ask the questions the answers do come,...
  12. I really like this idea and I think it would be very helpful. I love to cook and I spend a fair amount of time searching and sifting through recipes, trying to find the ones that are free of the foods I am allergic/sensitive to, and a lot of the times it's not an easy task. Your concept would cut out a lot of that time and make it simpler. Like this...
  13. Thanks so much Rachel for posting the info on scars, excellent info...and, you saved rinne and me from having to go back I am making sure to copy it this time, good info flies through Rachelville so fast you've got to catch it when it first comes along! Ami, hang in there!
  14. You got that recipe from me me Mango I was just about to post it, you beat me to it! Also, what about smoothies with different combinations of fruit, yogurt, juices, protein powder, etc. I have a recipe for a super easy oven baked pancake that I used to make when I was eating gluten, I have tried it with a gluten-free baking mix...
  15. ...or the pony-tail, something I resort to OFTEN
  16. Carla- You're in my thoughts, hope these symptyms pass quickly for you. VSL#3? May I ask what this is? Donna- So sorry about your back. Boy, when it rains it seems to pour The last thing you needed right now..... I wish I caught you earlier to say alternate the heat and the ice (mom's professional advice ) I do hope the pain...
  17. Thanks for the updates Carla and rinne. All colors have their purpose of course, my accupuncturist just had me working with pink a lot the last few years. But now that I think of it I suppose it's an individual thing and what is specific to each person. I found this on purple: And this is on pink: No...
  18. I knew they did something, I have heard one is alkalizing and one more acidic from different schools of thought. How are you feeling Carla? You haven't posted for a while and I thought that meant you weren't feeling so great...... Donna, good to see you! I am so glad to hear your dark cloud has lifted somewhat. I was very worried, you were just...
  19. Glad you have been able to be out and about in the garden Judy I knew I would forget something, I always do after I hit "add reply", sometimes I go back and edit but I didn't want anyone to miss this: Susie Q says hi to all and sends her best I am hoping she will pop in soon.
  20. So many in Rachelville are going through tough times and it breaks my heart I'm thinking of you all, hoping things turn around soon! Rachel, so sorry about your appointment. I had many of those myself and I leave feeling so frustrated. They make us feel like we are dumb and we shouldn't question anything and that is what makes me the angriest...
  21. My thoughts exactly Susie, that whole deer thing was kind of strange, and the "I'm Bambi" metaphor- to then literally have a "bambi" deer in the show to make a point...... I was pretty BORED watching the season opener, it didn't seem to have that same energy and fabulosity of seasons past. I was expecting a lot more, fireworks, a big bang, SOMETHING...
  22. Thanks Judy for getting these links posted here! I didn't realize there was already a thread started about the Jenny McCarthy/autism issue. Great post Rachel, very well said! Rings true for me and so many others on this board battling with chronic illnesses that go beyond celiac/gluten intolerance. Hi luvstoeat, this really stood out for me...
  23. Great post Rachel, I didn't realize there was a thread started on the Jenny McCarthy/autism issue I guess I should venture out of the OMG once in a while..... I LOVE when she brings up the gut/brain connection, so it isn't just exclusive to autism- and you said it so brilliantly, that this goes beyond children suffering with autism, it's manifesting...
  24. Hi Nikki, Susie Q, Bev and ALL, I haven't visited this thread in a long time, good to see everyone . Is Richard still around? If anyone needs a good laugh today, check out this video: Open Original Shared Link
  25. Kassandra, They are different for the most part- in concept. Basically a Candida diet, or Anti-Candida diet rather, is a diet that is low (or completely void of) sugars, most starches, yeasts, and molds in order to starve the yeasts. These diets vary depending on the school of thought but generally it is centered around high quality proteins, fresh...
