Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 yeah! Garlic! It's on the list! I've avoided it for some time now, but yesterday I decided, enough is enough! I'm going back to my garlic, and I ate 12 cloves in one sitting. Did the same thing today. I actually was amazed at how much better I felt yesterday after eating all that garlic! I felt like a new woman and even started dancing! he he Needed it again today, so I stink! But it is worth feeling so good again. Must be that glutathione boost! ----- Original Message ----- From: *~Patty~* Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2003 4:00 PM Subject: Natural glutathione http://ahha.org/articles/grossman.htm All the following nutrients could help increase glutathione levels: N-Acetyl Cysteine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, vitamin C, selenium, vitamin E, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, zinc, and other nutrients.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi Ian and Sue, I'm not familiar with faecal metals tests, but know that when I had heavy metal tests done, they gave me DMPS chelator prior to taking sample, which loosens some mercury into the blood stream, and is how they detect if mercury exists or not. So I am curious if they gave Sue any type of chelator to get the metals moving? Otherwise it makes sense that they would find nothing, because mercury generally doesn't just flow naturally in large quantities out of our system - so would not be detected. It seems almost impossible that if she had amalgams, that she doesn't have any mercury in her system, unless she underwent heavy chelation. Mercury really messes with the brain. I was telling somebody today that I think that it short-circuits my brain because the neurological symptoms are so extreme when I have a release. I have found buddhist practices help me to gain control over my brain when I get poisoned. Much of it is simple stuff, just learning how to feel happy towards others when I feel like hell inside, and this act of feeling happy towards others pulls myself out of my messed up mind. The other side is that buddhism has elements where one can gain mind control through simple chanting. I don't mean to preach, just telling how it is for me. I also have strong judgements about Paxil. It nearly killed me. My doctors couldn't figure out why I still had high levels of anxiety so just kept cranking up the dose until I hit 50mg per day. When that didn't work they added a second SSRI. I exploded in uncontrollable rage and became afraid to go outside because I thought I may blow up and end up in jail. I'm normally a conservative quiet type of guy so this was way out of line. Then they decided to put me on even worse meds for scizophrenia. I finally abandoned all my doctors, risked loosing all my long-term disability, and became my own doctor - using resources like this group, and naturopaths - but using my own judgement rather than taking their diagnosis at face value. That was one year ago. Today I feel like a different human being. Although not fully healed I have cleaned up about 15 layers of problems. It started a pattern of suicidal thoughts that follow me to this day. Its not bad anymore, but having spent years on paxil with so many suicidal thoughts starts to create new *triggers* that take a while to disolve. I had to invent new thoughts to have when I had a suicidal trigger - essentially cancelling those thoughts. Now it has become natural to cancel it out before I have any further thoughts about it. I also found glutathione supplements extremely helpful for paxil side effects and when I withdrew from the medication (very slowly). Mercury is also known to cause extreme glutathione depletion. So between paxil and mercury one can get very depleted. Something that was very helpful was when I began having Shiatsu bioenergy therapy. That completely leveled out my rage and gave me back *some* sanity when I was in my worst state. But I found I needed Shiatsu almost every week to keep up with the negative effects from paxil & mercury poisoning. So I bought an Aqua-Chi Machine to exercise my energy meridian and keep my energy in tact. That reduced my anxiety and gave me clarity of mind. Finally I became a pranic healer and performed energy cleansing on myself. I still use all 3 methods on a regular basis. Something I didn't realize all the while was that my thyroid was causing a lot of turbulance. It was being poisoned by mercury and flouride (they used to use flouride in the old days to slow down the thyroid of people with over-active thyroid. I discovered that black and green tea contain high levels of flouride absorbed from the environment and I was drinking about 8 cups a day - so my thyroid was underactive). So I quit drinking black/green tea, stopped using flouride toothpaste, had amalgams removed, and went on mercury detox. It stopped my thyroid from degenerating anymore, but still not fixed. Now I eat coconut oil everyday to help my thyroid (in addition to T4 supplements). My thyroid continues to be the trigger that can throw me off - feeling extremely ill with ear aches, chest pain, and nausea. I'm seeing a specialist in two weeks to hopefully shed some light on whats going on with my thyroid. It seems obvious that it has been poisoned, but I can't get it to settle down into a consistent pattern. One specialist mentioned that he believes in the 98% T4, 2% T3 rule. He said people with mercury poisoning sometimes have trouble converting T4 to T3. So even though TSH tests for T4 look fine, T3 is not being created so one can still have an extreme imbalance. So taking 2% T3 together with 98% T4 corrects this imbalance. I'm hoping to try this combo. It can be dangerous to take T3 so that is why I am seeing a specialist. I do a special medicine buddha practice every Tuesday at a buddhist temple. In this practice I am able to send healing power to anyone who needs it. My Dad has an enlarged prostate and was scheduled for surgery that would disable him for 6 weeks. I told him to pospone his operation, and try some natural methods first. I have done 4 medicine buddha sessions within the last 3 weeks, got him on USANA supplements, and his prostate is already getting better. In future medicine buddha sessions I will think of everyone in our group, to send out healing for everyone. Everytime I do it I get stronger in health and mind.
