Ok, I'm #107 on Dean's list. Please interpret- I'm giddy with

excitement!

History:

33yr old, Livingston County, MI

Diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis in 2005 after 2 years of

progressing joint pain. I immediately found relief from pain and

fatigue by starting a low carb diet. 2006: removed 6 fillings in 3

visits to a dentist who used cautious techniques. Between 2nd and

3rd visit, I mistakenly started taking DMSA 12.5 mg every 4 hours.

The consequences were severe antisocial feelings, brain fog, fatigue,

and irritability. I was dysfunctional for 3 days, but quickly

improved by stopping DMSA, finishing the removals, and starting

properly again. I soon made it up to 25 mg DMSA and started ALA

after 3 months. I could only tolerate 8 mg at first but quickly

moved up to 25 mg. I haven't been able to increase from 25mg to

37.5mg for the past year. I am extremely dependent on the candida

diet. There is very little I can eat- eggs, green veggies, and

coconut oil, not much else. Even tomatoes recently started to bother

me. I have been a big coffee drinker for 7 years and was able to be

symptom-free while drinking it, but recently it seems to aggravate

Candida.

I had allergy injections as a child and again the last few years.

Recent shots did not contain thimerosal, but I cannot confirm the

earlier ones. I have gotten several flu shots and a full set of

vaccines as a child. Most of my life I have worked in buildings that

had broken thermometers which may not have been cleaned up properly.

I had braces 20 years ago, which contacted amalgams.

I've always been thin, but after starting the diet, I lost 25 pounds

and now I'm 6'1 " and 155 lb.

I remember my ALT and bilirubin being high about 12 years ago. They

were still high in 2005. Recent supplements and chelation have

brought them to within normal ranges.

Supplements: 2g omega 3 daily, oil of oregano (lots), 8-12g vit c

daily, 833 mg magnesium bid, 1,000mg gaba occasionally, 600mg milk

thistle daily, 10,000 IU vit A daily, 50mg pregnenolone daily, B50

once or twice daily, 2500 mg B12 sublingual daily, 600 mg N-AC

daily, prednisolone tapers occasionally, but I usually have to take

2.5 mg in am to function; 200mcg selenium daily (only for past 6),

1,000 mg vit E daily, 30 mg zinc once or twice daily, 1,000 IU vit D

daily (was on 4,000 IU for 2 years, up to 1 mo ago), 3mg melatonin at

bedtime.

Other things I use in streaks: Vinpocetine, phosphatidylserine,

phosphatidylcholine, Glutamine, Arginine, DHEA. Either expense or

lack of efficacy prevents using them.

Thanks!
