    The guy that spoke at the convention I went to (he has books on mercury in the environment - I just can't remember the names right now) said that that China is putting up new coal plants weekly and the "dirty" coal they are burning gets into the air. The air flows over towards California. CA has the worst mercury problem in the air because of this. ...

    I didn't have time to read all the responses so hopefully this is not a repeat. I went through this exact thing with my youngest. I WISH now I would have removed gluten (I had already removed diary). I was also breastfeeding and formula feeding and when I got desperate and took the formula to the ND to get help with all of this, she pointed out to...

    Paula, that is so cool! Such a nice gesture! I hope you find something with the new test you ordered.

    Unfortuneately, about all diet soda's are made with aspartame - which is a nuerotoxin. I highly recommend NEVER ingesting aspartame. Sometimes I make this (as a fizzy substitute) - Sparkling mineral water, lime squeeze and a little stevia or honey. My kids call it homemade sprite!

    Carla, So you are buying the bionic 880 and bringing it back? Are they available to order? Sounds like something good to have for all sorts of things. And I do know what you are talking about with the carpet cleaner. I had a carpet cleaner person tell me one time that most commercial cleaners leave a residue that attracts dirt from there on....

    CiCi, I say go for it. It really is a good diet. You might see the light at the end of the tunnell and won't need to be subject to more poking and prodding by the Mayo.

    Ken70, I do not like the probioticis that he sells. I do like the krill oil and have been taking it. He has a multi vitamin type supplement that looked pretty good. Had all sorts of nutrients that are good for keeping the detox pathways moving - which I need. Lately, I have been doing Kirkman's acidophilus and have noticed a huge improvement since...

    Paula, The diet is highly specific to what each person can tolerate. The premise is when you heal enough to eat certain foods, then those foods are on the *okay* list because they don't hender digestion. Some people start very slow with minimal foods and slowly add things in. I have been 95% no dairy for 2 years so I am used to eating that way....

    i hope you figure this out or otherwise you'll have to tote bunches of almonds back next time you are in the states. So, if you didn't have problems with almonds before...wonder what's doing it now?

    There is a *smell* that the goat yogurt puts off and my hubby says it smells like workboots....so that sort of freaked me out to think i had made a bad batch again. I was so careful in the heating and the 24 hours it stayed at 105 the entire time! YAY! I think its fine though - despite what he says! It tastes fine. A tiny bit bitter but nothing unusual...

    Carla, I get the neck and back pain when I eat sometimes. Sometimes I think its *what* i eat, then other times I think its that my digestion is stressed even though I do not get the *normal* type symptoms. I have had the pain in the neck and back then it moved down to the intestines - and went away in the back (if that makes sense). So, I figured out...

    Hey all! I started some MORE yogurt today. The last batch did not smell good. The temp did not get high enough (or the acidophilus wasn't good, but I don't think so) I had the heating pad on low so this time I put it on Medium. I have 4 quart size jars in there - 3 with goat and 1 with cow milk. So, far each time I check the temp has been exactly...

    Mia, I noticed this too! PMS did get better for me. Leaky gut/malabsorption can cause so many varied problems for people. i definately think there is a connection.

    Something wierd about me......you know last week when my neck and back were hurting so bad? Then I had that muscle cramp in the middle of the night.....well when I ramped up my water intake the neck and back pain went down by 70%. Not saying it went away completely but it was TONS better. I went to the chiropractor this Monday and told her about that...

    Mia, I used to have Hypoglycemia so I felt hungry all the time even though I didn't need to eat. I always ate low carb veggies and hardly any fruit. This has shown huge improvements for me on the SCD! Now I eat and I feel like the food is working in my body again and I can go longer. When I do get hungry, I don't get that big blood sugar crash anymore...

    I just cannot get this yogurt making down....I made another batch using the big stainless pot, heating pad underneath and 4 jars inside. I put warmed water inside the pot to surround the jars. I put an Oven type thermometer on top of a cup (to keep it out of the water) and periodically checked the temp inside the yogurt. The oven thermometer said ...

    Manuka Honey is good for H.pylori also. Brownies sound good! I miss ice cream....chocolate.....yummmmmmmm

    The price is not bad. I have paid more in the store for raw organic almonds. Thanks for the info!

    Sherry, I HOPE she'll cooperate. She hasn't been the biggest supported of our dietary changes. Another reason why I wanted some kind of test for back up. I don't know if it will work, but maybe. It does sound like the almonds have something in them. Who knows.....could msg be in there? I heard about this *maybe* happening...but didn...

    Sherry, Weren't you doing okay with the almond flour in the US? Could it be that you got into a batch that has pesticide residues of some sort? Just a thought.... Luckily I have been doing okay on fruit. In fact, it has been exciting to be able to add more fruit in. When I was doing the candida diet I avoided most fruits. So, I think adding fruit...

    Here's some other good links on Iodine: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    I'll try to find some links so you'll have more scientificness behind what I am saying...but have to be when I get off work - really busy today! Heavy metals, radiation, ect. can displace iodine in the thyroid. Iodine is stored in the thyroid and breast tissue. The blood filters through the thyroid and if iodine is at adequate levels it can kill all...

    I agree Rachel, and as always I appreciate your "scientificness" behind it. I know you have studied these enzymes proficiently. I have experienced similar symptoms with gluten AND casien. I have read MANY articles that anyone with gut damage and are looking to heal, need to remove both gluten and casein. In autistic children the gluten or the casein...

    The radiation in the x rays can displace iodine in the thyroid. Can you tolerate Iodine? I take iodine after any x-rays. If you tolerate it, it can help *mop* up the radiation.
