Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Well said again Mr Dave. =) And it IS very cool! I love learning about this stuff. It's such a neat journey. To add to your comments on the sympathetic (fight or flight, tense, stress, anxiety) parasympathetic (digestion, rest, relaxation) balancing in the body. When I was really sick I was in a chronic state of tension and anxiety. I read about how in people who are chronically ill the nutrient stores of alkalizing minerals and vitamins upon which the parasympathetic nervous system depends, gets depleted. Once this happens the sympathetic nervous system is the unfortunate default state. The body has no choice... So I was in a constant state of stress and fight or flight because of this. Ok I need to find that article. One sec, This article mentions activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the resulting depletion of magnesium and calcium in the tissues but I believe that you can be depleted in those minerals first which then activates the sympathetic nervous system: Quoted from: http://www.drlwilson.com/Articles/metabolic%20typing.htm " Dr. Hans Selye, founder of the stress theory of disease, discovered that sympathetic nervous activation lowers tissue calcium and magnesium levels. This puts the body is a hyperalert state, increases blood pressure by constricting the arteries and enhances nervous system reactivity. This prepares the body for fighting or running. The opposite occurs in the exhaustion stage of stress. The sympathetic system is depleted. Thyroid and adrenal activity diminish and tissue calcium begins to rise. It can become very elevated in a hair sample, indicating an unhealthy parasympathetic state. " " Autonomic dominance refers to which branch of the autonomic system one uses most of the time. This is often a personality issue. Most people are sympathetic dominant. When it is mild, one is forward-looking, optimistic, active and energetic. Symptoms of excessive sympathetic dominance include compulsiveness, running around excessively, overworking, excessive thinking, fearfulness, anxiety, worry or anger. One may talk, think and work fast. Sympathetic dominant individuals do not spend enough time in a parasympathetic state to rebuild the body, so it eventually becomes depleted of nutrients or & #8805;burns out & #8804;. A hair sodium/potassium ratio greater than about 4 indicates sympathetic dominance. Greater than 8 is extreme. Today even young children are burned out due to stress and poor diets. Healthy parasympathetic dominant individuals are rare. They love to relax, do not react to stress and may rest all day, not because they are tired but because they are content. They live in the present moment and are at peace within. A healthy parasympathetic dominant loves eating, has a great appetite and great digestion because the parasympathetic system activates digestion. They are rare due to the stress of modern living. Also, toxic metals and chemicals in the food, air and water disturb the proper functioning of the autonomic nervous system. Much more common is emotionally or chemically-caused unhealthy parasympathetic dominance. These people have given up on life and will not fight for anything. They may advocate peace, but they are not at peace. They may sit around or they may be active, but are in a give-up mode. Their hair analyses reveal a high calcium/phosphorus ratio, slow oxidation, a sodium/potassium ratio less than about 1.5 or perhaps a four-low-electrolyte pattern (calcium less than 40, magnesium less than 6, sodium less than 25 and potassium less than 10).

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I started getting some gallbladder symptoms about a year ago. One thing lead to another. I realized that I had a candida problem (I had never heard of candida). I got my amalgams replaced last October (previously, I didn't know they were unhealthy). After the removal of the amalgams, I took a Premier Research Labs product, HM nano detox, for 2 or 3 months. I think that it is a chlorella product. That was the extent of my HM detox. I have been on a candida diet as well. I have also been doing some liver/GB flushes. I was a c-section kid. Also, I was hospitalized as an infant with bronchitis/pnumonia (parents smoked). Probably got lots of antibiotics. Was allergic to milk as a kid. Had severe sinus problems in my twenties. In desperation, had sinus surgery before I figured out dairy products were causing the sinus problems. Again, lots more antibiotics during that time. I am now dairy-free and free of sinus problems. I think that I have had candida most if not all of my life. Just never heard of it until last year. What a shame. I am starting to feel sorry for myself just typing this! Your thoughts are much appreciated!!! > > > > > > > > > Take magnesium too!

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 You have every right to feel sorry for yourself. On Sep. 9, 1999, the Mayo Clinic reported that they have discovered that all sinus problems are caused by fungus. Too bad that most people don't know that. Amber I think that I have had candida most if not all of my life. Just never heard of it until last year. What a shame. I am starting to feel sorry for myself just typing this!

I do remember is was Mayo Clinic Sep. 9, 1999. I've asked someone who may have quicker access to it. I'll let you know. Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Brad, why does your intuition tell you I might have a mercury problem? I probably still have a lot of Mercury in me, but I am curious why you are making the link to my other issues. Thanks! p.s. You refer to your clients.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I did a flush about two weeks ago and felt better after getting over the nausea from not eating. I am starting to feel slight pressure in the gall bladder area again. I did Hulda 's flush. Since I am not having a severe attack and just mild discomfort, is there an easier flush I can do. The epsom salts made me sick. I think I could handle maybe one dose but two on an empty stomach almost made me vomit. I know, I have a weak stomach. I am just wondering if there are other ways or easier flushes that one can do to keep the gall bladder working well. I did have an ultrasound and everything was normal and I had no stones. I still feel like this may be gall bladder related. Does anyone have any suggestions why the ultrasound was normal but I still have slight discomfort? Thanks, Re: Gallbladder? Hey , I dont know where you read that it was dangerous to do a flush if you have discomfort there. That is simply untrue. If anything you will experience major relief after doing a gb flush. You need to do 1 every month until you are clear of all stones though. The discomfort may infact make it so your flush is more productive it sounds like your body is trying to push a stone(s) out on its own and it needs help. Just stick with the basics do the basic hulda clark liver flush and then do a parasite and colon cleanse before your 2nd gb flush: http://www..net/en/cleanses_clean-ups/liver_cleanses.php Take magnesium too! The best one I have tried to date (and I have tried alot) is found at www.petergillham.com I use the Calm with Calcium (it also has boron, D3, vitamin C and potassium in it). Magnesium aids your body in many ways but muscles cant contract without suficient magnesium. Your gallbladder's ability to contract and expell the stones is dependent upon sufficient magnesium.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hey , Glad your starting to feel better. This is just the begining have patience. All diagnostic scans have limitations in their abilities. You could have stones which are being missed. 2 dimensional images always have a degree of inaccuracy considering we all have 3 dimensions. Also I have talked to a friend who had their gb's removed and after surgery they told her that they were surprised to see stones in her gb when the scan didn't show anything. For the proceedure you should be doing coffee enemas the day after the flush. Did you do one or two? If not you should be coffee enemas are vitally important to liver health and gb contractions. Anyways what I'm getting at is you can do epsom salts enemas instead of drinking it. Just make sure you hold them for as long as possible. They are quite redily absorbed that way. Im doing a flush on the weekend, 2 hours before my coffee enemas I'll be drinking beet juice with dandelion tincture and eating those two things as a salad for the rest of the day see what happens. Brad This discomfort you talk about is there a pressurized feeling with it? Feels like something is blocked? If so its probably a stone. > > I did a flush about two weeks ago and felt better after getting over the nausea from not eating. I am starting to feel slight pressure in the gall bladder area again.
