Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Selma! I hope you don't mind my adding my experience. Goat whey is great if one is not milk intolerant (as I am). I tried nebulized glutathione, and I seemed to move mercury to brain. MS symptoms (balance especially) were immediately worse. I asked my environmental doctor, and he said that glutathione can be an incomplete chelator of mercury. If detox systems are damaged, then only a very small dose, if any, can be tolerated without moving it to the brain. Hi Connie, > thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi Selma, How are you? Connie, I just re-read things about this PCA-RX. It sounds so good. What was your experience with it? Did you feel it REALLY made a difference? I mean, did you feel really detoxifying while you were on it for so long? Yes, I did feel like it made a difference. The first two months I was on it I had major depression as toxins were being mobilized, but then after that my mood started to get better, my thinking clearer. How long did a bottle last for you? I mean, it's pretty expensive, that's why I'm asking... It's not cheap....if you are doing full-on detox, it's about $100-125 a month. Was it hard to take? No, very easy! It's just a spray, and is supposed to be really effective. I guess the 3 main detoxifiers dr. K uses are: cilantro (2x day, 10 drops on hot water), chlorella (every day, at least once, a few tablets) and goat whey (good absorbable minerals, don't remember when/ how much a day, as I'm allergic to any milk...). Yeah, I do just cilantro and chlorella now. I'm concerned that these dont form good, tight bonds with mercury but havent had any negative effects that I can tell from them. If I could afford it I'd still be on PCA-rx. I mean, once your main load of metals are taken off, it seems that these are the 3 maintenance products that would deal with most of everyday toxins. Yeah, probably...as far as I know! I can't stand so much cilantro, not even few drops of it 2x day. I still have some way to go with other stronger detoxing agents, I guess. Wow, thats interesting... I read that glutathione (ingested) is not very efficient as the IV version, but I haven't read about sublingual stuff... Do you feel it works a bit for your liver/ detoxing? There is a well known LLMD who thinks sublingual is as effective as IV glutathione. I am doing the sublingual right now. Not sure about the effects personally but then again it's hard for me to discern unless Ive been using something for a long time. I just started with this. in the States, you need a prescription for sublingual glut. Thank goodness I have a cooperative doc! It's funny you crave for almond butter! Protein and fat again..... My doctor told me he wanted to make me his research-patient! I'm so sensitive to things that I notice most of 'new' things going inside my body. That's probably why I react with herbs so strongly, even with so little amount. And I'm super sensitive to homeopathy too. Sounds like you would make a great guinea pig! Lucky you for having such a sensitive body. must help in figuring things out. You can imagine when I was having all these new lyme symptoms coming every day different, I got totally lost and confused, as I couldn't trust my body either. It was like I got completely lost really. First time experience in my life. Oh so you have been confused? At what stage did you start figuring it all out? Fortunately, Buhner's herbs and detox stuff made my body 'stable' and 'readable' again. Fewer symptoms/ critters to track! Remind me again of how long you've been doing his herbs... Seems you are out of the woods now, though, eh? Thats wonderful! Well you've given me an idea for a blog post tonight...heavy metals! Good night! Good night to you, too! Connie www.lymebytes.blogspot.com Selma > > Selma, > > Thats interesting you notice these cravings with metal detox! I continue to be amazed at the connection you have between your therapies/diet/symptoms. Most of the time I can't figure out what is helping with what, and just have a vague idea. Probably has something to do with not trusting myself. > > Funny what you say about fats, though. I crave almond butter and go through a tub or two in a week!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Interesting. I just did my first round of DMSA for mercury chelation and my LLMD told me to avoid fat so as to support my liver in detoxing the chelate/metal rather than metabolizing fats. I can't believe HOW MUCH I craved eggs (which I dont normally like much), avocados, and oily things while I was doing that. It's not like I was even cutting out 'all' fats, just eating fewer than normal, and it felt unbearable. It was so abnormal that my boyfriend joked today that he felt like he was cheating on me when he had a hamburger while away from home. selmanaka wrote: > > Hi Connie, thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 , Thanks for sharing. I've heard the same about chlorella and cilantro as what you write about glutathione--that these are incomplete chelators of mercury and pose a danger for some.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi again, Connie. Thanks for the info below, on PCA-RX and sublingual glutathione. I guess PCA-RX is still expensive for my actual budget as I'm on other stuff (destroxin/zeolite/ chlorella)... Zeolite is doing a good job so far, so I'll keep on it a bit longer. But it's great to know it worked so well for you. Do you think you still have metals/toxins? >Oh so you have been confused? At what stage did you start figuring it all out? It's never a yes-no answer, for sure. It's mostly a guess... ART does help me figuring out when I get lost again... In the course of treatment, the number of symptoms kept falling, and that made things much easier to track. Difficult to say when I got dozens of symptoms, or even more, coming, some staying, others going. Now it's pretty reduced: chills, hand rashes, are my main symptoms. Some head fatigue/ congestion sometimes, small pain here and there that I attribute to zeolite pulling metals (because it's like a herx), spotting more or less during my cycle (I don't know why, but since I caught lyme I spot more, it got better when I felt great, and this time, I spotted again more than usual, so I keep wondering what's the relation between lyme/ co-infections and spotting...), getting food cravings, etc... >Remind me again of how long you've been doing his herbs... Seems you are out of the woods now, though, eh? Thats wonderful! I stayed on his herbs for 13 months, no interruption. Except for knotweed. I stopped CP during the last 2 weeks for the first time, because of ART. Today, I'm trying to take a knotweed tea (pendulum tested only). ART tested no-allergy last time, but I couldn't take it (too many toxins at that time). I did a very very light tea (2 pieces of bark only), cooked for 20 minutes, my mouth hasn't burned so far... My hand rashes are getting worse, a bit open skin, looking like eczema but it doesn't itch. Only on one hand. I also got one line of bartonela rash on my face yesterday evening!!! My hand rashes look like eczema, but that face rash looks like the rash we see on bart photos!!! I guess I have to buy red root... I didn't want to import again this month. I already spent 450 euro the last 2 weeks... This damm disease. TAke care, I'll take a look at your blog again soon! Selma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Thanks for the info . There's so much about metal detoxing protocols around, so much conflicting info, I guess I'd stay with what my naturopath is recommending for the moment. I wonder if the homeopathic solution wouldn't be the best then...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 > Hi Selma, You are welcome! It sounds like you are on some good chelating stuff...I love PCA-rx but it sure is pricey! I think most of us probably still have metals and toxins. My LLMD (who trains with Dr. K) says that Dr. K believes that it takes years--like 15 or so--of constant chelation to get all metals out of the body. I was shocked to hear that. Mine don't show up in ART testing anymore, though, so I know my levels have gone down a bunch. I think more get released every time I kill bugs, though, since these sequester metals. Thanks for the info. on your healing journey...that's weird you have hand rashes! That's got to be a bit annoying, eh? I am 7 months on the CP (except for cats claw, which I took for a year prior and did me little good that I can tell). It sounds like you've really come a long way. I know what you mean about dollars, though (or euro!) It's soooo expensive to treat this illness. I'm just thankful that I can :-) Thanks for checking out the blog--I'll be posting more articles tomorrow and Saturday, hopefully... If there is anything you (or anyone else!) would really enjoy reading about, let me know, and I'll see if I can find some good topics to post on. Thanks! Blessings, Connie > Hi again, Connie.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 > Selma--Just one more thing which I forgot to include--it took me about a year and a half to get my metals to non-detectable levels according to ART testing. Nearly a year of that was by taking PCA-rx and glutathione fast pushes. how long have you been doing chelation? Connie > Hi again, Connie.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Oh God, 15 years!!! But reassure yourself that after 2 years of constant chelation, most of toxic people will have their loads down, enough to have their bodies fighting back these bugs by themselves. At least, that's what my dr told me. Of course, you have to do your homework (jaw and canal roots treatment too). If it doesn't show in ART, it's probably not your main problem for the moment?? Just guessing... I would continue like you're doing, maybe adding the goat whey or zeolite, any powerful mineral punch to help detoxing the rest that cilantro and chlorella don't detox... I also start to believe we have pockets of metals in our tissues that hide themselves from chelators. Like lyme bugs, or other funghi. Have you heard the interview of Klinghardt in his homepage (the interview he did on the radio for more than an hour?). He said that he receives people that had gone through many chelation protocols and that still have metals in them. So, he knows it's not the 'chemicals' that are missing for these patients, but something else. It seems quite tricky to eliminate the last of metals in our bodies, if I understood well. First months are easy, the tricky job starts after. How did you find 7 months of CP helped (or not) your health? Selma > > > Hi Selma, You are welcome!

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 > Hey Selma, Yeah, 15 years....crazy! I agree though, that two years of chelation will get a person to a stage where the body can fight off bugs effectively...my mind is functioning so much better now, I know that first year chelating did a lot for me. I didn't listen to Dr. K's interview but have read his notes. He says that taking minerals alone can keep mercury from binding to cell receptor sites! That is amazing. I've tried zeolites but haven't noticed much with them. I am so non-reactive to stuff it's not even funny. As for the CP....cat's claw didn't do much for me that I could tell. I herxed on andro. the first few months but feel my improvement has been slow with that, too. I believe the japanese knotweed is helping my energy quite a bit, though. ART revealed my body to want a ton of that stuff! The rizols, natural cortisol, siberian ginseng and immune entrainment therapy (www.lymefree.com) seem to be my biggest helpers right now, I think. My sleep and mood have been restored since I started cortisol and immune entrainment therapy. Energy and cognition have been getting better over the past two months, too, but I still have a long way to go. The first five months on the protocol I just basically felt bad! But now I am having some good days. I don't get herxes from andro anymore, that I can tell, and even the rizols I haven't had big reactions to lately. I'll be flying to Seattle in March to get re-tested. I thought I was further along in the protocol but yesterday I went to the gym, did only 30 minutes of low-intensity aerobics on the elliptical machine, and today I am tired, so am a bit discouraged by that. Last summer, before starting this protocol, I was able to go to the gym. But, things have been better over the last two months, so perhaps finally, I am progressing! :-) Seven months isn't really a long enough time to see huge progress, I think. I need to give it another year or two, probably. Thanks for listening!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 > > So I have always tried to fast 4 times a year and it always seems to make me feel better when ever I do it and I do know from doing yoga that it does make my body more limber. I also do it for religious reasons and I know this is not a group for that discussion. I do it when I go to Harbin hot springs. I have read the sites warning against fasting, but my question is, if one is eating nothing but water and one leads themselves into that fact by just eating something clean like raw spinach or lettus or celery, goes that not starve yeast and add to the die off? ==>Hi Bob. This is from my article " Not Recommended Treatments, Supplements, etc. " : http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/mn22.php Fasting is intended to give the body a rest and/or to allow it to clear out toxins and wastes. However, while your body is fasting it is also not getting the nutrients it needs for healing and energy. It is more important to give the body what it needs to affect healing, allowing it to cleanse as it sees fit. Every day between meals your body needs to fast so it can assimilate and utilize the nutrients without having to direct its energies towards digesting more food. That is why snacking is not recommended. Some people do a type of fasting where they only consume the raw egg drink for a few days at a time. That is not considered " true fasting " and it wouldn't cause problems because you would be getting plenty of nutrients and energy. Also, candida sufferers start out being malnourished, with candida interfering with digestion and utilization of nutrients, and all of their body's cells have gone rigid by candida toxins which makes it harder for nutrients to get in and for wastes and toxins to get out. There wouldn't be enough nutrients from raw spinach, celery, etc. if you went on the kind of fast you describe. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Sorry Bee, perhaps I was not clear with my question and that I had read all of this and realize that I am going to be malnourished myself for the short time. My question is while fasting like this, what will my yeast be living on? Will it not increase the die off to fast?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hi Bob, Here's my thoughts from things I've read. Maybe Bee has more data. Candida problems don't go away rapidly. For most people it takes many months of diet to starve them off. Being on a fast for that length of time could be dangerous. Dr. Atkins and others have indicated that if you're eating a diet with proteins and fat but not much carbohydrates, your body will first burn up the carbs stored in it and then the fat. It has to have some protein to do that. People who fast aren't getting sufficient protein. The body then looks to itself to get protein in order to burn the fat. The source is the body's muscles. So by fasting for any length of time, you're going to wither away your muscles. Fasting for a short time may have some benefits but I don't think it will make a serious dent in the candida population.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Most of what you mention I have already read, but my question remains, while eating nothing, what will the yeast live on??? I am 6 ' and come in at 228 so I am not worried about loosing some muscle mass or protean, I am just asking what will the yeast live on? If someone has an answer to this ? specifically it would be good! Thanks Thanks, Bob Zack Widup <w9sz@...> wrote: Hi Bob, Here's my thoughts from things I've read. Maybe Bee has more data.

Curing candida is not a matter of " getting rid of, or killing off, " candida overgrowth, so starving it out, and also starving yourself, won't help you. To cure candida you need to build up your immune system with the nutrients your body requires so it will be able to keep candida " in check " the way it is supposed to be. When your immune system becomes strong enough candida will revert back to being just a normal friendly round yeast form like it is supposed to be, and it won't be overgrowing any longer. I hope that helps. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, If you have any doubt, I once did a fast for 2 months straight on nothing but water.. not a bite of any food let alone foods that feed candida. It was a stupid idea to try and lose weight, and I ended up looking like crap and lowering my metabolism, and I still have candida.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I read the " Coconut Cures " book and it mentions fasting for a few days consuming only 10-12 Tbsp/CO a day plus stevia sweetened lemonade. I was thinking about doing this...would this be a good way to fast? I feel like it would be better than a juice fast as I am still nursing a toddler (I would only do a 3 day fast, if I could make it that long).

Because I'm having some digestive problems that are pretty resistant to anything I've tried to do to clear them up, and I'll probably be pregnant again when I wean my DD, so it's either try a short fast while nursing a toddler, or none at all as I can't fast while pregnant. I know it's not recommended to fast while nursing, but I don't see how it's any different than not being able to eat for a few days during a stomach bug (which happened when my DD was 11 months old)...plus DD gets enough calories from solids that if the quality of the milk isn't great for a few days it shouldn't be a big deal.

I would take a glass of water alternated with a glass of lemon water every half hour. I would add either maple syrup or honey to the lemon water mixture. I personally would not do Bruce Fife's protocol for the reason TB mentioned in a previous post. I have learned from personal experience that much of any product of the coconut will have you in the bathroom a *lot* when taken in that amount. I think I mentioned that awhile back when was following the protocol. I thought when I read your post you were probably in a position where an opportunity to fast might be slim and none. Thanks for clarifying that. I have a much longer post on fasting in response to what posted but since I am no longer on vacation (and spent most of that in a thread I had no intention of devoting any time to) my posts will be coming much slower. -- " Who loves not women, wine and song remains a fool his whole life long.
