    Carla, I get stinky too when I'm detoxing. Have you done an epsom bath? That or sauna usually helps me. I sent you a pm with my email. I'm so glad you are having good results with the NAET. I would love to get your email if you feel like sharing! Anyone heard from Julie? I don't think she has posted in a long time...

    Yeah - I thought I had read that bifidum was not good. I just couldn't remember !!! That is the probiotic I have been taking for a LONG time - so that might explain why I was better then gradually got worse. Besides adding in more carbs (even gluten free) I can't do FOS. It makes me itch all over. I guess it feeds the baddies before the goodies...

    Hi all! I have been in jury duty all day. Thanks for the suggestions on getting the kids involved in helping out. I already do that but I get a lot of flack. And with the hubby not participating in helping me keep it all straight I get overwhelmed easily. For instance, he doesn't *believe* in making beds and I am trying to teach the kids to...

    Paula, I was pretty high on the test too, but I can't remember what it was. It was around 99% though! I think mine is from *internal* biotoxins - but who knows! I started the SCD diet. I had some die off yesterday - which was a good sign that I was on the right track. Carla & Paula, I need you gals to come down/over my...

    For some reason I had a weak moment tonight and *almost* gave in to something I most definately should not be eating! I was CRAVING it so bad! But I stayed strong! Yesterday I didn't have any cravings.

    I haven't started any yogurt yet. That is my next thing to do. I wanted to order some of that Progurt that is listed in the pecan bread site. But its on backorder. I have some Natren Healthy Trinity in the fridge which has 3 human based strains. It has: PROBIOTIC STRAINS USED: 1 capsule contains: Lactobacillus acidophilus...

    Sorry I am asking so many questions But at what stage can cheese be introduced? It's not listed on stages 1-4. So, am I right to assume you go through those 4 stages *before* cheese comes to play?

    Thanks! I will check out that section of the site and see about the C protocol. I want to start the yogurt right away but I don't want to cause more damage by not having all the strains. Did you eat dairy *before* starting this diet? I am assuming you did not and are doing ok so far on the yogurt even with only the acidophilus strain.

    I officially started the SCD yesterday. For Breakfast I had eggs with some sauteed veggies and for lunch I had chicken broth with carrots and coconut milk. I was dying of starvation by the time I got home for dinner and had to grab something because my blood sugar was dropping so I ate some canteloupe. Then later at 2 boiled eggs. I must have had die...

    Do you use the yogurt starter they sell on the pecanbread website? I have heard of making it from probiotics, but not quite sure how that works. I guess I need to get a yogurt maker! Sounds like it was your mold shot. But good that you are checking that out.

    Paula, Sorry about the gut wrenching pain! That sounds awful. I hope you can get some more testing done or get in with a good alternative doctor who can help you sort all of this out. Sherry, Those stories are amazing. Do you make your own yogurt now, too? Do you find you can tolerate (legal) dairy now being on the diet or is it too soon to tell...

    I remember you posting about the cytokines and the article that you posted said a lot about it being mold related. Now, it all seems to make sense! I really hope finding out about the mold gives your immune system the break it needs to keep the lyme (if any is left) in check. We have an older house, too, with the plaster walls. I just put drywall up...

    Thanks for the info and recipe, Sherry. I'm going to wait until i get the book to go full force because I need to understand the reasoning behind all of this. But, right now I am getting familiar with the allowed foods (and unallowed). It's hard enough to feed my family! So, this will take some planning. 2 years ago when I was having major reactions...

    Sherry, I am checking out Pecanbread.com now. I'm just not sure if I need to start at stage 1 - limited OR just eliminate all grains and starches. Not sure if the book will tell me or not.

    Does anyone know....do you have to take chlorella away from meals or other supps? Or is it okay to take with everything?
  16. aprilh
    Carla, So maybe it wasn't "air hunger" at all in regards to lyme - it was MOLD! OMG! I'm not glad this happened, but I am REALLY glad you discovered this fact. This might be the little piece of the puzzle you have been missing! Let us know what the mold guy says. Kassandra, Sorry about the doc. We should be able to ask for our money back...

    Carla, That is awful!! You saw the mold in your bed? Did you have to cut it open to see it? I would throw that thing out of the house ASAP! April

    Just a little something to add to what's already been said.... You might look into helping his body heal the damage done. For my son I used L-Glutamine everyday to help heal leaky gut and heal the intestinal lining. I also introduced good bacteria - probiotics. Those two things should be done in the very least. That worked well for my son. I find...

    My son's abdomen looked like that before he went gluten free. He also had intestinal issues, circles under his eyes, gas, constant ear infections, and was skinny everywhere else. Everytime he took a bath, I wanted to cry. He *looked* so malnourished. Does your son have any other symptoms? I learned my son had inherited through pregnancy my major...

    I was going to say it might be gallbladder pain. Does it ever occur after eating? Would you say it normally occurs on the right side? When I was having liver/gallbladder type pains I took Gold Coin Grass and it worked wonders! I highly recommend it.

    I'm the same way. I went to Costa Rica for 8 days and really wanted to learn some Spanish before I went. Then I tried to keep up what I learned when I got back. Lisa, Is the house moldy? Or could it be dust mites? That sounds strange about the mercury......That is one of the juices that the kids drink. The ND wanted them to have a high antioxidant...

    Hello. It sounds like your daughter has leaky gut - hence all the food reactions. I have been in the same boat with my kids especially my little boy. I passed my candida issues on to him during pregnancy. I have been working on it for the last 3 years. Candida can cause leaky gut. Or undiagnosed celiac can cause leaky gut. I have them on Natren...

    Rachel, Have you figured out *how* to correct the methylation/sulfation issues? I can totally see how the methylation cycle defencies can cause the problems, but how to fix......Plus if you don't know exactly part of the cylce is blocked...then how do you know what to treat? Anyway, I am sure you'll keep us posted when you do find these answers...

    I'm in the "can't lose weight" category too. I need to lose about 10 pounds. The sucky thing is when I went on the Candida diet 2 years ago I lost about 20 pounds in a few months. I lost it fast. Then over time I slowly started gaining and have gained about 10 pounds back. That's why I am thinking the SCD diet might be good for me. I ordered the...

    Thanks! I'll search around and see if I can find the forms. Another great link I have bookmarked.
