MERCOLA'S COMMENT (on mercury poisoning) Interesting that the American Academy of Pediatrics could be so strong on mercury thermometers which rarely break and are a relatively low risk source of mercury contamination, yet they are silent on the mercury dental amalgam issue which is a far more serious problem, providing a much greater exposure to mercury. There is no question that the fish is a concern and I would advise great caution for those who are consuming fish regularly in addition to a strong encouragement to read the mercury in fish article below if you have not previously done so.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Marcus is 9, AS, gfcf for 4 years. I've been giving him 1 HN Zyme Prime and 1 Peptizide before each meal for 4 weeks now . A " layer " has been lifted from him - he is interested in football now, will tolerate his little brother more, and has improved slightly at school. I have given him a couple of milk products with no ill effects, ( am going to try wheat next week.) He has Epsom salt baths and Sanatogen multivit. What should I try next ( I am confused by so many things to try.) My concerns are that Marcus still has shadows round his eyes, still needs laxatives ( although less with the enzymes,) and is highly strung. Do these symptoms suggest anything to anyone? He will not eat fruit or veg apart from peeled apple and ketchup. Many thanks to everyone for this wonderful site, Jaine, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 he probably has some metal transport issues for which .85mcg/lb of selenomethionine alternating daily with methyselenocysteine are a major help. chelated zinc possibly magnesium boron manganese are some other minerals to enhance metals transport. i would suggest a ddi hair test as per the autism mercury board to identify any outstanding toxicity issues like lead and any mineral shortfalls. i really hate mentioning metals transport becuse i feel that introduces people to the trap of chelation which is really not suitable for most children, hopefully there is not to much pressure here but be warned the pressure is there on autism mercury. my thoughts on the issue. http://members.tripod.com/mueller_ranges/links/as_links.html england is low on selenium so the non selenite seleniums as per above give good results for not too much effort or cost. magnesium citrate may help with constipation. > > Marcus is 9, AS, gfcf for 4 years.

I haven't heard of this one. Are the epsom salts working? Do they help with the hyperness? >>>> What should I try next ( I am confused by so many things to try.) My concerns are that Marcus still has shadows round his eyes, still needs laxatives (although less with the enzymes,) and is highly strung. Do these symptoms suggest anything to anyone? There are a TON of various things to try but most people do not need them all, so please don't feel like you have to be giving lots of stuff to be a 'good parent'. With enzymes, most of these other things are not necessary. I agree with Dana about considering the No- Fenol next as the symptoms you describe are very consistent with what NF helps with; and he is responding well to other enzymes. If the epsom salts calm him, that is another sign of phenol intolerance. I tend to like magnesium myself, but you are getting some extra mag with the epsom salts. Otherwise, magnesium is a prime one for us. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hi , Has your son taken Peptizide? From the list you gave, I would try the Pep or AFP Pep. He's getting alot of Gluten in the Pizza, bread, oatmeal. Have you had him tested for gluten or casein intolerance? If it were me, I'd try either of the Peptizides. Hope this helps, Rhonda in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I vote for the Peptizyde first as well. The proteases in Peptizyde may help some with the yeast, so it isn't like you are totally giving up on yeast control. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 If you use enzymes, I'd suggest plant based ones. Enzymes are not all the same. We use Houston enzymes. The type of enzymes used depend on the foods the child has difficulty with. I'd use AFP Pep and Zyme Prime if gluten and casein products were an issue. what next? My son has been on the diet for about 8 weeks. I have recently started acidophulis. Should I try enzymes? Which ones are best? can I use ones from the health food store? I don't have a doctor to ask these questions to as he hasn't been formerly diagnosed yet. We have an appointment in Jan. Should I request a DAN doctor? What exactly are DAN doctors good for? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks, Lanita _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Dear Suzy, As hard as it is to find it, we always have to keep hope alive. I can understand how frustrated you are. I use hot and cold packs too to help with the pain and the muscle spasms. You didn’t state if you are on any pain medication. I realize it’s hard to think of taking anything and still working. The good thing is they have time-released medications that don’t give you the highs and lows that a lot of pain medication can do. Since you like your new rheumatologist and you think she listens to you, tell her how bad the pain is. Hopefully she will understand what you are going through and recommend something or even suggest a pain management clinic. When the pain gets out of control, I think they are the place to go. I have the same pain in my knees that you are talking about and it is miserable. When you can’t stand or walk it’s really rough getting around. I finally broke down and bought a wheelchair, after renting one on and off for a whole year. It took a lot out of me to admit that I needed one and to finally feel comfortable going out in it. It has been a real lifesaver at times, and I would not have been able to get out at all on certain days without it. So far I don’t need it every time I leave the house, but if there is any amount of walking I always take it with me just in case. Try not to get too down and too depressed with your pain and limited mobility. I know it’s hard and everyone with this disease has days where they don’t want to go on. Sometimes anti-depressants help with pain too. I know a lot of people don’t like to take them, but they do really help me. Well I hope some of these suggestions help. Good luck and let me know how you are doing. Don’t lose hope, because hope actually helps us fight off our disease. So we have to keep it going. Take care and you are in a good group for support. Love, Fran ----Original Message----- From: suzy849 [mailto:bunky903@...] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 12:28 PM Subject: [ ] What Next? I am on my second rheumatologist. She's pretty good, listens, and tries new things. I have been on methotrexate (up to 20 mg/wk) combined with ibruprofen, then sulindac, and now voltaren (75 mg/2 day). The MTX has been dropped to 16 mg/wk and I am on 2 injections of Enbrel a week. I still have swelling of my fingers, ankles, toes and knees varying day to day. My pain in my knees are so bad some days, that standing up is a real mental challenge. I have been on a high does of prednisone then tapering on over a week. That worked for a while. What are the other choices besides an increase in the Enbrel or being upped to Remicade. I use cold and hot compresses but that is inconvenient at work. Is there any hope?

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Thanks Fran. I take Voltaren (an NSAID) for pain. I have taken Vicodin in limited amounts over a short period of time when I could not sleep. I am allergic to all groups of antidepressants. I am facing the fact that a wheelchair will be a permanent fixure in my life. We already use them on trips and when we go to any functions that require walking for a long distance. I just get frustrated. So many people including my in-laws can't see the real struggle I am having. They talk behind my back with the other relatives (about another cousin's wife with MS too) that we aren't really sick just lazy, fat bums. I finally told my husband that I would not go any more. I supposed the wheelchair will " prove " I am really sick. I wish there was a cure. I should be grateful that my psoriasis is mild and hidden on my back and scalp.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Dear Suzy, Boy ignorant people sure make me mad. I want so badly to let some of these people who think we are just faking it or over reacting to feel my pain for just a day. I know for a fact most of them wouldn't be able to take it, let alone face it for a lifetime. I suppose dealing with people like that even the pain tips wouldn't help them. I had the same sort of problem once with my in-laws when I first came down with fibromyalgia. They thought I just didn't want to work...lol. I wish it had been that simple. I've always loved working and being around people. I hate being stuck home and feeling like life is passing me by. I finally decided when it comes to people like your and my in-laws all you can do is consider the source and ignore them. Their remarks can only hurt you if you actually care about them and what they think of you. I had to get to the point where I didn't care about them at all. it was much easier after that. I agree with you on making that final wheelchair decision. I wouldn't expect it to open anyone's eyes, as far as your relatives are concerned. They will just think you are taking your illness to the next degree for self pity. It was hard on me to accept the wheelchair as well. So far I don't need it at home, only for trips away from home. Last night we looked at carpet and then to a furniture store. By the time I got home I was exhausted and all I could think of was, this was with a wheelchair! But I have to remember that I wouldn't have been able to go at all with out the wheelchair. So I guess I'm glad I've got it...lol. I think you were right to tell your husband you aren't going to see those people again. He should be sure and tell them why if anyone wonders where you are. Maybe then they will realize what fools they are. My in-laws thought my whole family was that way because my parents had emphysema the last 15 years of their lives. It actually took both my parents dying for them to wake up and realize they were even sick. Sometimes I think people just can't face other people's illness so they ignore it or are afraid the same thing might happen to them. So they put us down hoping they will never be in our situation. I firmly believe that you get what you give in life, so all I can say is there's is coming. You know you are always believed here and that's one thing great about us. No one doubts our pain or our frustration at being ill. Good luck Suzy and take care of yourself. Just avoid all the negative people and try and surround yourself with fun, loving ones instead. Life is so much better that way. Love, Fran [ ] Re: What Next? Thanks Fran. I take Voltaren (an NSAID) for pain.

I used to be looked at as lazy and slow by certain people. I really have no use for people in my life like that. MY sister's husband jokes about the way I move all the time and I would love to never see him again, however I only have one sibling and do not want to jeopardize our relationship. It is getting close to that but for now I will bite the bullet. Do not let people do this to you. Maybe you can print some of these posts here to show the relatives or even get some literature on PA for them to read. There were several times that I forwarded posts to my brother in law.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi Suzy, I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time with pain, frustration and insensitive in-laws. In the past I've had the opposite problem from my in-laws, far too much pity and sympathy which really wasn't very helpful. It's a difficult one- but like Fran said, it's ignorance and fear. Does your husband know how you feel? Could he have a word with them or perhaps as Janet suggested you could print off some information for them to read. It took my in-laws ages to come around to the fact that their soon was choosing to marry somebody who has a serious disease and who uses a wheelchair, but after lots of talking they've accepted the situation and have a much better level of understanding. It sounds like your in-laws need to be forced to confront reality. If they can't offer a little empathy and continue to make light of your situation, then if I were you, I'd make it plain that I have no time for them. You have enough to deal with, without them constantly knocking at your self-esteem. As for the wheelchair, I've found it to be a huge psychological hurdle, but it does mean that I can do everyday things. I don't like the way I'm sometimes perceived as a wheelchair user, but again it seems to be a case of making it clear that while my legs are often a bit useless, I'm a normal woman with a fully functioning brain. Good luck with everything Suzy. Take care, . > > In a message dated 8/12/2004 8:11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, > bunky903@h... writes: > > I just get frustrated.

I'm starting it next week myself. I exercise as often as I am not to tired to do so. You can go for walks, water aerobics, swimming and yoga.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hello Group, I want to thank all of you that were so wonderful to help me with my fears about doing Enbrel and the shots. I did resolve it. I had my PPD test and they were suppose to start tomorrow. Well, my mammmogran last Friday called for an ultasound yesterday. I got a call at 8:20 this morning telling me that my doctor wanted to see me at 2 pm today. We decided on a surgeon for the biopsy and during the breast exam I told her about some discomfort that I have been having for several months. It is like heartburn but feels deep in my left breast where the lump is. My daughter and I laughed and I told her about me referring to it as boobie burn. She said she was going to give me something for heartburn and I informed her that I have been on prevacid for years. She raised her eyebrows and asked when was my last EKG. I had one in May for my pre-op but I am sure it was OK. She ordered the nurse to do one and said she would be back. When she came back she asked if I was having boobie burn then. I said a little, she said yes, let me show you. It had shown up on my EKG. Well, tomorrow I have a stress test. She told me if the boobie burn gets worse, go to the ER. I guess when I go tomorrow they will inform me of my appoitment with the surgeon. So I summarize it all this way. My rheummy wanted me to get a clear mammogram, before the Enbrel, which started this snow ball. So, it must be her fault. I intend to tell her that also. I just have to find the humor in it. I am fine and not the least worried. It could be, but just the same it could not be. It sounds like a bad day, but all things considered, I have had a great day. I hope all of you have a blessed and wonderful day or night, which ever it is where you are. Hugs, Shirley P.S. Sorry this is so long.
