Guest guest Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Diane, Thanks. I didn't know GABA would cause a reaction from a leaky gut. I think I still have one. It causes a reaction of not being able to sit still large doses, not small. I'll keep working on it. I need B12, have to get the right sublingual, react w nausea to some. I'll try cal AEP soon. Do you take it w mag? I'm still confused on the best window shielding to try. Have limited funds for 2 weeks, oh. Had a hard night, up until 4. The cat layed next to me for awhile, then jumped off the bed. She was sleeping w me until the tower went up. She's feeling it.

GABA is what some doctors actually use to see if you have BBB leaking. If you do have it, you get very agitated instead of the calm, mellowed out feeling you are supposed to have with GABA. [sometimes, tho, you first get the calm mellow feeling and then after another dose get the bad agitated, angry feelings.] This is perhaps a good way, however, to assess whether a leaky BBB and tight junctions have anything to do with your ES! You would have good evidence if you took the GABA after being badly emf-ed. Have you tried D3 from an all natural source? Carlson's Labs has a D3 made from Fish oils. It is pretty pricey, but you only take it every other day and so it lasts a long time. B12 is something which might help you. Get a sublingual pill, which bypasses the gut, and the best quality you can find. I use methylcobalamin. There are different types. B12 helps the nervous system. Possibly a hydrogen supplement would help. You mentioned not doing well on calcium, and I didn't either until I took calcium AEP. I personally always take it with pantethine. Emfs can cause calcium efflux from where it should be in the brain. Calcium AEP is the type calcium the brain uses. Again, this would pertain to you only if you know your BBB is leaking, and not necessarily pertain, if it is not. If you have a good doctor who you can go to, also, a calcium channel blocker might be helpful, if you know for sure you are having calcium efflux. I take the natural calcium channel blockers manganese and taurine once in a while (I do not consider these safe for me to take on a daily basis, but then, I have no need for doing that anyway, since I am now rarely having ES symptoms). [if you need to try these, however, do ask me for more info, because manganese can act as a toxic metal. I am only here on weekends, tho, so expect to wait a few days before hearing from me. (Sorry!)] The way this works, from my understanding, if you have calcium efflux is: the tight junction is opened by emfs, then this allows calcium migration to occur. The tight junction cannot sometimes close properly, so sometimes the efflux doesn't stop till a calcium channel blocker is taken. If you take a calcium channel blocker, it will block the calcium from leaking, often, in the first place. (At least that is how it is with the manganese and taurine.) However, know that many of us have conflicting medical needs for which calcium channel blockers are not a good therapy. (If it were that easy, we could all go running to our docs for calcium channel blockers. ) You may share this with your doctor and if she is a very good doc, she will check it out herself and may have even better ideas. As to shielding..... There are a number of good options for windows: aluminum or steel screens for windows (I forget the size mesh, but it has to be small and you have to cover the windows including the window frames); there are anti-emf window films; there are anti-emf fabrics which can be made into curtain panels (I velcro mine to a painted lath board on the wall at the ceiling--glue the lath board up; my drapes are also ceiling height); I also use huge plants--fan palms, other palms, large ficus, scheffalera(?sp?); and I have used a large screen made from 3 doors hinged together and covered on one side with heavy aluminum foil, which is movable and portable. Outside trees are even better shields, especially thick evergreens, but placement can be a challenge and it takes at least 3 years before they are large enough. [However, as a home owner, I would like getting as many trees in place to help with neighboring smart meters, as possible!] On shielding with screen, fabric, foil.... It seems that if you double fabric or screen on itself, it will then negate shielding and allow emfs thru, so for edging and seams, you must make a 3 layer seam. Odd thicknesses block emfs, even thicknesses let emfs pass thru. Very hard to grasp, I know from experience. lol Also, if there are aberrant, digital, or wireless frequencies inside your house, they will bounce off of some of these fixes and cause you problems from within. You can try heavy aluminum foil taped to the wall to see how it works temporarily until you get something better in place. Remember there might be also metal in the wall or nails in studding that could cause problems. Hope some of this is helpful; it sounds like you truly need something fast, Bless you, Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
