I've hear echinachia can be a problem for people with immune problems

especially thyroid problems. It is interesting to try some of the suppliments

yourself. I tried Kirkman's colostrum gold and had tons of energy.

Never take zinc on an empty stomach! It tears my stomach up. I can only take

one 50 mg tablet in a 24 hour period, and I must take it on a full stomach

or I get just as sick as you just described. My mother doesn't get sick like

this from zinc, so I guess it doesn't do this to everyone. Hope you feel

better soon. The Echinacea will not usually upset your stomach.

So this am I did a zinc and and echinachia...I was out of comission for 2- 3

hours! Stomach cramps, diarehea, heart palpitations, cold sweats, dizzy!

UG!!! If my 38 year old system couldn't handle it, I can only imagine how

truely bad my daughter feels when we change or add something and she has a

bad day...just food for thought! Guess I'll bring the echinachia down and

add it in gradually.

Echinacea is a common allergen. *I know!* I think it might be related to

ragweed or something like that but I'm not sure. When I feel I'm coming

down with something, I usually take some colloidal silver and it knocks it

right out. Sometimes there will be a short healing crisis (nausea maybe)

but it is always very short and then all of a sudden you're completely

better.

Sorry, can't help with the fries.

supplements and Mc's fries

(it has been several weeks, 3 or 4) we got fries from Mcs. She has

been " zoney " ever since. Can anyone confirm for me? She's had them before

with no probs. That was before we started rotation and eliminated soy and

corn and, and, and.. I can't think of anything else it might be.

The Mcdonalds in our area uses dextrose coating on

the fries and it is cottonseed oil and

corn oil to fry in.

Regarding the McD fries. Check with them and see what kind of oil they are

using. I checked with our local McD's and they use a vegetable oil which

contains corn oil. Maybe it's the corn that's having an effect on your

daughter (if they use that type)?

Hope you both feel better soon.

had cold sweats.

Hi - I got the list from Mcs and this is what is listed for the

fries: Potatoes, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavor??,

dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (to preserve natural color). Cooked in

partially hyrogenated soy bean and corn oils, (TBHQ to protect flavor (which

I believe is derived from vanillan) citric acid, dimethylpolysioxane and

natural flavor.

Sounds pretty scary to me!! and my son loves Mcs fries!!!

YUCK!!! All that in a fry? he!he! Thanks for doing the leg work. I had no

idea. Where did you get the Mc s list? I'm gonna guess the burger

patties (we don't eat them anymore..Gilly gets hyper) have soy. If you've

got the list, give me a shout. Thanks a bunch!

Most places cook the fries in Soy oil. Have you considered giving her a

digestive enzyme when you go out to eat for those " just in case " times?

This really seems to help .

My son loves those fries too however I would cut my arm off before turning

into a Mcs. We have come too far to go back and homemade fries made

w/organic potatos taste much better.
