    My physical therapist thought it might well be a spasm of my diaphragm or muscles around there, since I have recently started QiGong, which has a lot of breathing I'm not used to.

    Yesterday I was minding my own business hugging my husband when I got the sharp pain in my upper left abdomen. Well, I looked it up and it sounded like my spleen to me, which freaked me out. I could not take a deep breath, or much of a breath at all. It lasted about 7 minutes, the pain was stabbing, and was like an 8 out of 10. I will say that I decided...

    Nutmeg is actually toxic, in the sense that it is very hard on your liver. I loved eating it for a while about a year ago, and looked it up hoping it had medicinal qualities like so many other herbs/spices. Found out the bad news....not good for you. Darnit. Sure tastes good on a spiced cider. Of course, I don't eat cider anymore anyway, so who needs...

    I've not heard of RSD - it sounds quite disturbing, and I can see why a person would get PTSD from such a thing. All I can think of on the neuro bit I imagine has been checked for. B12, since celiac sufferers don't absorb it well; heavy metal poisoning/toxicity; complete eletrolyte imbalance (inverted sodium potassium ratio, etc. - good idea to check...

    Okay, I am the researching queen, and I have been high and low on the internet trying to find out the best diet out there for adrenal fatigue/low thyroid (subclinical); low digestive fire, etc. Everyone disagrees. What have you guys tried who are on adrenal fatigue protocols? I already don't eat gluten, soy, dairy. I typically don't eat beans or grains...

    Well, I had a.m. cortisol tested. (I have no insurance and a doc who always takes the worst tests.) Anyway, came back 19 with a range of 5-23. But morning time fatigue is not my problem; it's afternoon tiredness. Has anyone had luck with the saliva testing - to the point where it's worth the hundred bucks. I just paid 125 bucks for hair mineral analysis...

    I get so sleepy after eating - like coma sleepy. This is not true at breakfast actually. Actually, come t think of it, I get insanely sleepy at some point between 3 and 6 every day. Anyway, I ate carmelized onions and scrambled eggs just now, and now my eyes are shutting and my breathing has gone to sleepytime breathing and I'd love to lie down and nap...

    Okay, so the mercury is like the copper - if it is not showing up in the test does not mean it's not there - it might be held onto? So how do you find out if you have mercury toxicity then? I got zero on this test; about a year ago I did the Greenpeace test and came back with some mercury. I have not been heavily exposed to my knoweldge. I clearly have...

    Hey all! I paid to have my hair analyzed for minerals, even though it is not an accepted diagnostic tool by many docs. (Desperate times call for desperate measures - too many 'normal' lab results.) It came back with some interesting stuff, mostly pointing to adrenal exhaustion and lo thyroid functionality. I was wondering if anyone else has done this...

    My ferritin is very low "normal". I think I'll dig up a naturopath in my new town (I'm moving in the next couple weeks) who can help me out with this. I am going to try to find some B12 shots in that timeframe too -- I do sublingual, but I don't really notice much of a change. I'd like to do 4-6 shots, and the sublingual, and see if I can't get a bump...

    Hi all! Got my thyroid tested recently (TSH, Total T3/Total T4) and came back "normal". Then went home and did some research; went back and demanded Free T3/Free T4. Free T4 came back barely normal, Free T3 came back barely below normal. But even though I have lots of symptoms of low thyroid, my "doc" thinks I don't need to treat it at all. Hmmmmm. ...
  12. BRUMI1968
    Thanks to you all! I did have my B12 checked and it was within normal ranges, though I thought on the low of that. Nevertheless, not low enough to be the probable cause of this. All my thyroid stuff came back alright, but I insisted on getting different tests for that since I can't get over the idea that my thyroid is low. They don't want to believe this...

    A little over a month ago, I woke up with vertigo. I turned in the bed and got it, then whenever I would lower down or get off the pot, I would get it and fall into the wall of our tiny water closet. Arg. The vertigo itself (feeling of world spinning or self spinning) probably happened 5-6 times, never lasting more than 15 seconds or so. But when i wasn...

    Thanks all. I just had some blood work done and if it all comes back neg, I'll ask for the cortisol testing. The toxic mold I had not thought of. We have been remodeling our house and I definitely feel better in general outside rather than inside. The library usually makes me feel a bit nasueus, but has never done this before. I'll keep it in mind for...

    Hi all! Have been suffering vertigo and dizziness for almost a week now. Hoping it's an ear infection, though my ear looked fine to the ARNP. I'm having my iron and thyroid checked for good measure. So far, no nausea, so that's fine with me. Just light sensitivity, mild dizziness (more like pre-vertigo really, if such a think existed), and verging...

    For me the amaranth always jumps out of the pan!

    Hi. Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble right now. This is what I found for side effects for Aciphex. I bolded the stuff I thought it sounded like you're experiencing: Body as a Whole: asthenia, fever, allergic reaction, chills, malaise, chest pain substernal, neck rigidity, photosensitivity reaction. Rare: abdomen enlarged, face edema, hangover...

    I ditto the coriander and cumin. A lot of my raw food recipies call for those, and they are pretty good. Black pepper is, of course, okay. That's a tough one though, if you want the heat. wasabi, but that won't be any good in tacos. Oh, mustard greens are really good. and hot. but only around right now for the year. And brown mustard seed (already...

    What kind of stomach ache is it? I finally figured out that coconut oil gives me a stomach ache, though a weird one. I was loving it! Sugars can give me stomach aches. I've determined that I have various tummy aches and can usually tell by the type which food has offended me. Like I eat lots of avocados. Sometimes it is just too much fat. And that...

    Sweet potatoes (baked in a tiny bit of olive or sesame oil or baked whole with coconut butter or olive oil on them when they come out). Quinoa - this is an easy "grain" (actually a seed) that cooks in 15 minutes in the same manner as rice (bring to boil, lower heat, wait, let sit) with way more nutrients. I make a salad with quinoa, chopped veggies, olive...

    My family LOVES food for life millet bread. And they can eat gluten...so the fact that they like it says volumes. I like it too, but I gave up eating grains entirely. So anyway, worth a try.
  22. BRUMI1968
    Welcome! Some good things for lunches: quinoa salad (cooked quinoa, chopped up veggies like celery, avocado, tomato, herbs, etc., olive oil, lemon) quinoa should be cheap if you buy it in bulk - but if you buy it in bulk, YOU HAVE TO WASH IT. You do anyway with quinoa...or else it is is bitter. So wash wash wash and rinse rinse rinse, then it is...

    I would not do well on a "standard" vegan diet, which is high in beans and grains - both of which are extremely difficult to digest, tend to cause weight gain, block minerals, etc. etc. I eat a raw vegan diet, which does not include any true grains, beans (including peanut, cashew, and soy), etc. Often, vegetarians use a high level of whole grains and beans...

    Since I believe I am the "first person who insulted you on this thread", I'll reply. I certainly was not being 'insulting'. I believe the best diet for the human body is the paleo diet - meat, veggies, fruits, nuts. No grains, no beans, etc. Eating animals is 100% humanly natural - being a vegetarian or vegan is, in almost all instances (except where...

    I don't really think this is the most appropriate response. First, there are various reasons folks are vegetarian - so your opening question of why seems good to me: is it mostly health reasons, environmental reasons, socio-political reasons, ethica reasons, religious reasons. Yes, some denominations are vegetarian by faith -- I assume you don't wish...
