Guest guest Posted July 21, 2000 Report Share Posted July 21, 2000 HVB-hepatitis viral B They started me on IV prednisone then changed to oral. Yes, I still have my beautiful kids. I tried leaving them with their father but that was more stressful than having them with me. I guess I'm supposed to be Mama all my life.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I have seen a few posts referring to ne recently and thought it might be helpful to share what we have discovered. As part of our investigation into why my wife has been feeling so poorly we, too, had some tests done by Dr McLaren of Acumen laboratory. Among other things these showed traces of ne in her blood. As well as being a pesticide used in agriculture and garden products, ne was present in products for treating pets and also head lice in humans. It was banned in the UK and EU about 7 years ago but is still used in other parts of the world most notably by cocoa growers. It comes as no surprise, then, that traces of it have been found in chocolate. Apparently the major chocolate manufacturers cannot be sure whether they are buying ne contaminated cocoa beans because of the very convoluted purchasing & supply chains. However, we understand that FairTrade manufacturers have a much tighter control over the source of their cocoa and can give such an undertaking. One would also hope that products sold as 'Organic' would be free from ne. Having done some research on the web, it appears that one of the effects of ne can be that it is harmful to the endocrine system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again this would have been during the 80s and early 90s. Isn't it dreadful how innocent we are were, come to think of it they are still telling us mercury is ok to use in fillings despite all the evidence to the contrary. It would appear that quite a high proportion of the population don't possess certain enzymes that help our body detox properly. The one that I am thinking of is called MTHFR and is involved in the methylation cycle of folic acid and B12. If we don't methylate properly we are likely to have homocysteine which is implicated in a massive amount of disease including heart disease, stroke and dementia. Although I actually haven't been tested its pretty certain that I do have this problem because in 1973 I had a baby that was born with no skull bones (neural tube defect) and it is known that this only happens in women who cannot use folic acid properly. Little did I know at the time I was mercury poisoned too but remember having a severe reaction to any injection that contained thimerosol which is a form of mercury. We have all had these injections because it was contained in every type of vaccine, flu, TB, childhood vaccines (until recently) and also tetannus. Now I only use supplements from the US which contain the active version of foiic acid called folinic acid so no conversion is necessary. The supplement also contains all the other active Bs. Hopefully I should be nicely detoxified by now as I take all these daily together with 1000mcg methylcobalmin to aid methylation. It really is a fascinating subject but I wonder how many GP's would know about methylation? BW Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hello , I am currently reading a very interesting book by Mark Starr MD called Hypothyroidism Type 2 - the Epidemic There is a chapter in there that talks about Environmental Toxins = Hormonal Havoc. ne is indeed on the list of synthetic chemicals that interfere with the production transport and metabolism of thyroid hormone. I have not quite got to that chapter yet but I notice that there is an accompanying appendix which lists thyroid mechanism and interfering chemicals. I am going to scan the page in and see if I can attach it here to this reply. I'd recommend anyone reading this book it covers all aspects of hypothyroidism, diabetes, type 1 and type 2 hypothyroidism, chronic pain, fatigue, fibromyalgia, obesity, laboratory testing for patients taking desiccated thyroid just to name a few of the chapters. I feel it is a worthwhile addition to my growing library and as an added plus it is a relatively easy read not as technical as some books. Okay small problem - my scanning software is throwing a fit so I need to sort that before I can scan in the appendix ......... perhaps someone would be kind enough to tell me how to attach a doc to a reply on this forum as I'm darned if I can see where to do that!

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi all, NITRATES AND PCB`S LINKED TO THYROID DISORDERS.they have been testing the environment in Slovakia- and found that these polutents are linked to thyroid disease.scientists conducted a large field survey of nearly 1.000 iodine-sufficient 10 and 13 year old school children in eastern and south western Slovakia .they found that children in both age groups from high-nitrate area showed higher thyroid volumes and increased frequency of thyroid hypoechogenicity.this proves that the environment is not a healthy place.this is from the endocrine news may 2004.don`t have a link to this sorry. regards angel.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 It isn't possible to sent messages with attachments to the forum. You would have to upload it as a file instead. I don't know whether any member can do that or only moderators as I haven't tried. If you can't upload your scanned document as a file you will have to send it to a moderator as an attachment and they will be able to upload it. Hope this helps!

Again this would have been during the 80s and early 90s. ............ I was reading recently about cases of polio related to the use of poisonous insecticides in orchards: http://www.sparks-of-light.org/polio-cause.html Another reason not to eat to much salad or fruit as they tend to be sprayed much more! > It would appear that quite a high proportion of the population don't possess certain enzymes that help our body detox properly. ......... Is that related to low thyroid or not? Having low thyroid often affects the body's ability to detoxify. > If we don't methylate properly we are likely to have homocysteine .............. High levels of homocysteine are also related to deficiency of B vitamins and folic acid - see " The Heart Revolution " by Kilmer McCully. > It really is a fascinating subject but I wonder how many GP's would know about methylation? ............ Not many as their education doesn't seem to include nutritional treatments. However, doctors from the British Society for Ecological Medicine are probably up to speed with it. Dr Myhill mentions it on her website: http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/article.cfm?id=401 Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
