RE: [SPAM]Re: detox pathway and my own problems

[Guest guest]

We’ve done a lot of testing…What

specific immunological testing are you referring to? I’ve had tons of IGE

testing and such but not sure what immunological testing means…..I have

not specifically had the P4560 pathway test done by Smokies but others say it

isn’t worth doing. Either way, I’ve sort of exhausted the thousands

and thousands of dollars on unreimbursed alternative lab work that only one or

two doctors would pay attention to….so don’t plan to do anymore

smokies tests for ex when no doc pays a thread of interest in any of them…

detox pathway and my own problems

Hi ,

I really don't know what to say

specifically about dealing with all these issues. It's definitely a

shame that you've had to suffer so much and aren't getting better care.

Maybe someone else here will have some ideas.

I do know that mercury doesn't normally stay in your

system more than several years, although who knows in your case living right

on top of it like that? I used to play with mercury as a child (really dumb

teacher allowed it, and it WAS definitely fun) so I was really

worried later on about that and whether it was an issue in my own health

troubles. I was happy to learn that it should not be an issue so many

years later. Whether constant proximity like you experienced could load

you up more than normal and somehow get embedded in your tissues or actually

damage your ability to detox, is another story. Or is it

possible that all that mercury damaged your immune system? Have any

of your docs suggested immunological testing? Or has there been any effort to

ascertain if your P450 pathways (detox pathways) have been damaged?

I believe

strongly that I have a detox pathway problem leading to why I get so sick

when any chelation is done/ As a child, I grew up directly next door and down the river

about 200 feet from a mercury mine. You can google the Gambonini mine, Tomales for more

information. I had moved from that area 8 years before the Superfund came in

to do the cleanup.

I don¢t know if that is the reason I have

very high mercury levels despite numerous attempts by doctors, naturopaths

and myself to go through comprehensive detox programs or whether it is due to

a fungal situation. As I became very ill, I also became very chemically sensitive

(MCS) to a wide variety of products in the home and office and sensitive to

many different types of foods. I am now severely underweight (lost 160 lbs

since 1994 and now at 101. A normal good weight would be about 130 per my

doc. I am looking for some help and what my status might be because of these

experiences. I am allergic to many medications, primarily involving severe

anaphylaxis to antibx including pcn, sulfa, cipro, levaquin, tetracycline,

erthyomycin, and other meds including raglan, steroid induced

psychosis,asprin, NSAIDs, etc. I am also severely allergic or sensitive to a

wide range of foods that result in asthma, throat swelling, severe apthous

ulcers and swelling in mouth, throat, and stomach including foods like dairy

(except goat), wheat; any type of gluten, buckwheat, millet and a variety of

cleaning products.

From a medical point of view, in the past 5

years, my health has worsened substantially and I had to end a lucrative

career in marketing and business development for Cisco at age 46 due to my

illness. Diseases that I have been diagnosed by my doctor include multiple

sclerosis, lupus, inflammatory arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteperosis,

asthma, COPD etc. I have not responded to traditional medical treatment for

these named diseases and/or there are contraindications in prescribing one

med because I have already been diagnosed with another disease.

The biggest issue that is apparent is that

my detox pathways are screwed up and do not work properly. Even the most

basic detox methods do not work for me and result in hospital admissions

often to ICU. Most doctors run when they see me or just shake their head.

Medicare is particularly good at this and hospitals in the United States

do a poor job of managing the care of the chronically ill like me.

I look forward to your response.

I really don't know. I was just wondering if you've had any testing to evaluate the status of your immune system Wish I could help, but if I knew how to fix all these things we pwc deal with, I'd be some kind of genius, not to mention rich and famous. :-)
