I have to use them because of my insurance. But each office is different. You might not like the staff at one office, but they can be fine at another. My experience anyway. I've been to 4 different ones. http://tinyurl.com/2cptgn Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Cheri, you said the lab technicians damage your veins. Any idea at all what causses fragile veins? Last week while taking chelation the vein blew (puffed up) so she put it in the other arm and it did the same thing.The technician is very experienced, and this only happened once in one arm out of 30-40 treatments. I was wondering if it's the cold weather or am I water logged f rom water retention due to being hypo right now. Anybody have any ideas? Pat RE: Armour not recommended for replacement therapy (I assume total replacement?) I personally hate Quest. Whenever I had used them in the past their staff members were always incompetent and didn't know the proper way to draw and store certain blood tests. So much so, that I took my slip and walked out when I got into an argument with one staff member. I found a great woman and LabCorp. Only one who know how to get blood from me without damaging my veins. Cheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'd expect vasculitis (autoimmune inflammation of the blood vessel wall) could cause fragile veins, although I'd expect that to be very rare indeed. Although perhaps being poked by a needle can set off the immune reaction in the vein. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I am not positive and still investigating this as that was in 2001 and my veins were pretty good back then, she was just a bad tech. Now my veins are not good and I am trying to figure out the reason. I have read deficiencies like Magnesium, B12 especially and Vit C. I also read aldosterone being low causes it which I think makes sense with adrenal fatigued people. Do you have an hematoma at the site where the puncture is?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Yes, but what causes vasculitis? I think it is all part of the same issues. -----Original Message----- I'd expect vasculitis (autoimmune inflammation of the blood vessel wall) could cause fragile veins, although I'd expect that to be very rare indeed.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Pat, Bio Sil (silicon liquid) helps promote healthy arteries etc. Dr Sherry says it " teflon coats " your arteries. http://www.vitamindeal.com/ja-biosil.html I use it faithfully and think it really helps.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thank's so much for the good replies. I will have to read up on vasculitis. There was no hematoma. I know right now I need to concentrate my supplementing on getting better veins using those you suggested. Glad to find out about the Bio sil. Many thanks, Pat Thank you!

I think I'd best target with the supplements suggested, and the Bio sil looks like it would not only strengthen veins,but bones and a host of other things.I could be up the creek some day if I don't get my veins back.
