    Heavy Metals poisoning, Autism and detox

    @Kina, I already provided the citations You said, Exactly. What we once thought we knew, is now obsolete. See links of peer reviewed articles. And, I beg your pardon. I was told that all people with chronic conditions were welcome here... ? I was under the the impression that many of the...

    Heavy Metals poisoning, Autism and detox

    @Kina the title contains "Autism" because this post is a continuation of a discussion that went off topic on the 'mess/clutter' thread. I asked a moderator to move those posts here. I figure they'll get around to it when they are able. No hurries. Yes, this paragraph may "seem" to contain...

    Why do we react to glutathione precursors or other amino acid supplements?

    I can offer some general insights. Cysteine is toxic all by itself. In meat, its not isolated, Its bonded. It has to be broken down to be utilized. That happens at a slow rate. Our bodies can handle it at the rate present by digestion, even when they can't utilize it due to metabolic errors...

    "Fibromyalgia Can No Longer Be Called The “Invisible” Syndrome"

    I just want to say that all the "imaging" I had, for any reason, makes me worse. This was true before I got chemically sensitive in 2003-2004. Wether it was for spinal damage from being rear ended or from the neurologist who confirmed my Fibro diagnosis. They need to use methods to diagnose, and...

    Heavy Metals poisoning, Autism and detox

    @Tammy there isn't a one size fits all answer. Because everybody's metabolism, their poisoning, and their environment is different, different things work better for different people. With that caveat, here are some things to consider: heavy metals sequester (hide) in fatty tissues (like brain...

    How do you deal with mess/clutter?

    @Tammy , we're way off thread. :confused: I'll go creat a new one and see if I can figure out how to ask the admin if they'll move our conversation. :)

    Increasing Calcium does not prevent fractures In elderly

    Calcium, magnesium and potassium need to be balanced for strong bones and teeth. Most of the population is deficient in magnesium. The numbers vary from paper to paper. One paper said that supplement ratios of cal/mag shoukd be reversed. Twice as much mag as calcium. I agree with the others...

    @Tammy Sorry I forgot the heavy metals part. O yeah! :eek: When you look at a pesticide label you will see that the active ingredients only comprise a percentage of the formula. The rest is "inert ingredients." You can go to my webpage theholisticchatterbox.com/library and scroll down to "Inert...

    @Tammy yep. Autism is a Toxic Injury. Lots of people are running around trying to link it to this "one" thing, or That "one" thing, but its not just one thing! Its too much of any, or too much of any combination, of toxic things. But, its not just the environmental, you have to figure in the...

    Does anyone live/have info about trailer living with MCS/mold sensitivity?

    @GypsyGirl Glad you figured out the filter fix! Lots of times there's so much going on its exhausting just figuring out the problem. It feels like chasing a mouse thats got into the house! Sorry your sliding down the slippery slope.:( Have you tried the broccoli trick for endocrine system problems?

    I hate this life

    I agree! I've thought that a lot!! People understand cancer and rush to help. Pre TI I was active in a number of ministries. People stood in line to help cancer patients. Meals, yardwork, errands, emotional support... Then when I got sick, Poof! Nothing but dust. It was like they thought, "crazy...

    I've been considering this too. Not to sell, so much as because I eat a lot of honey.:p Only I have to wait until I find a remote property. There's too much pesticide here. There is a hive that you can drain the honey from and monitor the bees without opening it and disturbing them. Its costly...

    Herxing on supplements?

    @Valentijn Wow! I'm stunned! You think because you don't know something, it therefore does not exist?!? She was a research geneticist for 11 years! Obviously she knows way more about it than you do, unless you were a research geneticist for 11 yrs, working right next to her in the lab, and you...

    Herxing on supplements?

    Well now, thats a pretty blanket, un-substantiated, denial. Ironic, since you challenged me for proof, like a cowboy quickdraw, at a gun fight. And that even included wether I had metabolic errors, or not! You say she makes mistakes... Where's your proof? You say you've looked for the research...

    why do i feel great when i have a cold?

    @Woolie, yep! That was the concept I was trying to convey.:) I've felt like that is true. I didn't uses to be able to get a virus. My system was so toxic they couldn't survive. Bugs wouldn't bite me either! lol not so anymore. Now I have to deal with both.:confused:

    why do i feel great when i have a cold?

    @Woolie, the "pain gating" analogy is similar to the "immune system gating" not the same. The stuff about pain was just to give you a familiar example that hopefully everyone could relate to. Its not that the cold is painful, its just that it needs immediate attention, whereas our chronic...

    Dental Issues

    My enamel dissolved after glyphosate (Roundup) exposure. Like within 2 weeks, on 6 teeth. Glyphosate is a chelator. Avoid areas were glyphosate has been sprayed for a month. Don't eat GMO foods, or conventional grown grains, peas, beans or cane sugar. Eat organic for those foods. I read a book...

    why do i feel great when i have a cold?

    I've read some theoretical papers that talk about how the perception of pain is gated. You brain/body function can only focus on the top one or two most pressing things. Our day to day (suck pill miserable) condition temporarily takes a back seat to the virus. Its the same as if you had a...

    Food intolerances - advice needed please

    I concur with many of the comments here. GMO foods and crops desiccated with glyphosate products (like Roundup) are often the antagonist. Wheat is one of those, and there's a rising amount of research linking gluten intolerance to consuming wheat thats been treated with glyphosate. Other...

    Video - "The Struggle of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Ask Dr. Ernst"

    I'm not sure if this is "kosher," I read the text rather than drone through the video. I'm a speed reader. So there's most likely discrepancies. I also question the "childhood trauma" theory. I don't know one person that has had a perfect childhood. I do feel that stress is toxic, but I don't...
