  1. Hi Aprilh, I saw your post about cilantro, and how you noted the first attempt was not good, but the second was, due to a blocked pathway?

    I am trying to use cilantro as a detox with chlorella for heavy metals, but, to date, I have eaten 4 bouquets of raw cilantro in about 8 or 9 days, and I have a headache with congestion in the head focci and ringing in my ears, which leaves me f...

  2. Instead of the candida diet, maybe try the SCD? It's focus is on healing the gut. I did the candida diet many times and I wished I had known about the SCD then.
  3. I love this! I have high cholestorel too and dr's have given me A LOT of grief about my decision to NOT take statins. I believe there is more to cholestorel than the number. Like underlying inflammation for example. I am getting ready to take a new test called Berkeley Heartlabs. It digs down into the deeper issues of cholestorel heart related stuff...
  4. Hi all....what's going on with not posting?? I rely on people's experiences and have learned so much from them I am sure there are judgemental people on this forum...I have seen it go on. But who cares about them!! I know of a good forum that we could all go to
  5. In high school I actually took a zero on a report to avoid getting up in front of the class....that's how bad it was. I have gotten better since I have been older. I still am not the chatty cathy type...but once I get to know someone I am very open. I do think that my son's issues are food related. And maybe the parasite problems too. The gut imbalance...
  6. Kassandra, Thats so great how well you are doing! The emotional stuff must have been having a HUGE impact on your health. Keep up the good work! April
  7. Ok this is totally me! I was VERY shy as a child. And now my little boy can be very shy at times. He's even growled at strangers when they try to talk to him. After going gluten free he actually showed HUGE improvements. On SCD he has come out of his shell even more. When I tested him on "regular" food recently he backtracked a bit. Now his...
  8. Rachel, I'm like this too! Not as bad as before...i guess my body is clearing stress hormones more efficiently nowadays. I used to not even be able to get the least amount of stress without having some type reaction. That includes shy moments!! Everyone, I think I stressed my adrenals after moving. The next day I was sore all...
  9. Hey everyone! Happy Thanksgiving! I have been super busy and seemingly able to keep up. We are moving the office where I work so that has been a lot of work. So far...I haven't crashed! Jin, Sorry to hear about the tough times. I hope you figure out a way to move out on your own soon. Donna, Glad you are feeling a bit better...
  10. Paula, I was taking about 2000IU but when I took the kids to the dr for their checkups he said to give them 2000IU so I think I could bump my dose up a bit. I used to have the same cortisol problems. The high cortisol at night made me have sleep issues. I took something to suppress the cortisol at night and adrenal support in the morning to help normalize...
  11. Paula, That test sounds good. What is the name of it? Is your ND wanting you to take it? Paula, Sounds like SCD might be good for you with all you have going on. I'm glad you are getting some testing, though.. Hopefully you will be finding some answers. Happy Belated Birthday Sherry! Hope you are doing okay. Post when you can...
  12. I just opened that site. That is a great price! I have been looking for coconut cream but could not find anything pure. I am going to order some!
  13. There are some recipes on how to make candies from honey. They sounded very yummy! I think it depends on the person and how upset your system is. Some may be able to get right back in the boat. Others may have to go back to intro... I think you have to play it by ear and see how you feel.
  14. Glad you are doing okay Donna and that the tumor was benign. That's good news!!
  15. Christine, I had a racing heart kind of thing when I had leaky gut and a major candida overgrowth. Of course, like Sherry said, there could be so many other causes. I hope you figure it out! April
  16. I hope that this is the answer, Paula! Everyone, I am so mad at the health insurance company. I made a claim for the Red Blood Cell Analysis done in January. They denied my claim. I gathered all the CPT codes and called and asked if these codes were covered. They said yes. So, I said then why are you denying my claim!? They said the medical...
  17. Here's how I managed to make yogurt out of stuff I already had I used a large stainless pot. I can fit 4 large mouth quart mason jars inside. I put the heating pad under it on Medium. You'll have to find a heating pad that doesn't automatically cut off. Then I fill the pot 3/4 with water at about 105 degrees F. Just enough to cover the jars almost...
  18. I agree, Ali, this should be studied more. When researching this parasite...a lot of information was saying that they used to believe this was a normal part of gut flora. That it doesn't cause problems in some people. But in others it does. I believe that because my son was already comprimised with gut issues, that it is pathogenic to him. We'll...
  19. Could it be the caffeine in the chocolate??
  20. Hey everyone! I almost got caught up reading. I some interesting news. My sons stool test results are in and it appears that he has a parasite called Blastycosis Hominis. The interesting thing about this parasite is that it likes grains. People who have negative effects from this parasite usually have grain intolerance or allergies. I remember about...
  21. very cool! Can you send me the link to their blog? Thanks!
  22. I got the results of my son's Stool Analysis today. He has a parasite called Blastocystis Hominis. His bile acids were a little low but everything else looked okay. His e-coli bacteria was out of range with the acidophilus and bifidus. Basically, he had too much e-coli. So, we are going to do a parasitic cleanse and then re-introduce the good bacteria...
  23. I ordered the one from Mercola. Not sure what the differences are.
  24. Andrea, I like your new pic - very cute! Everyone, I just got caught up reading. I have been working ALL weekend on a little project. I am updating my daughter's room. I built an art desk and put in some cabinets above for storage. I got the cabinets from Habitat Restore (used stuff) and fixed them up and painted them. And I made the desk...
  25. Rachel, Can you give me more info on this? I need to research the genetics of this stuff. Paula, I take Nattokinase for that. I take 1 pill at night before bed. Its wierd, I feel like I have better circulation about an hour after taking it. I only self diagnosed this problem and figured with all the candida and toxicity problems I was having...
