Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hi , This is my guess from all my studies and talking to MtD specialist. Environmentally caused MtD is caused by >> genetic predisposition >> that causes us to ferment starches and sugar more than most (READ celiac story in BTVC/it is all of us as human beings >> that injure the gut and makes it more leaky than typical >> that causes FERMENTATION and PURIFICATION>> that leads to high toxic load to the liver of all sorts of bad things >> that causes the body not to be able to get rid of accumulating heavy metals, LPS (the bi-product of fermentation) and more >> that injures the cells at a cellular level>> that leads to all sorts of havoc in the entire BODY>> Causing some irreparable damage in some of us to more than just our pancreas....any part of the body or brain even. Please....this is Just a hypothesis. I could be worng. I DO NOT BELIEVE That the mercury causes MtD or else EVERY SINGLE child out there would have this problem. MOST are Exposed to heavy metals and do not get as sick as us. They are able to deal with them and excrete them normally. I do not agree with DAN! theories on the most part. Now sit me down with a MtD specialist...and now it starts to make sense. But even they are still learning. This information is truly in it's infancy. The first MtD case wasn't diagnosed until 1985 or something like this. That is not much time for medicine to evolve. Hence that there is only six in the country that can even test correctly for it. Now about the prescription enzymes: It is best to swallow the capsules whole...but doctor gave us permission to have her take them opened in apple sauce if she could not do this. She was able to learn how to take them in the capsule. If not crushed by teeth...they still open in the intestines where they belong. These capsules are full of tiny micro capsules....not like the powders. If a child has undiagnosed PI, this is why SCD is so important....the child doesn't have to digest as much, since it is all monosaccharide. The enzymes are mostly for the fats and proteins, to keep them from growing things when not digested. THIS IS WHY ELAINE RECOMMENDED SCD for Cystic Fibrosis too! With CF it is a pancreatic problem. These are the same prescription enzymes for that condition. " The important thing is never to stop questioning.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 How would one be suspicious of pancreatic insufficiency...or a mit condition for that matter? What tests are run for PI? Are they fairly standard blood tests that would be covered by state Medicaid? I'm sure that the mito testing wouldn't be...especially the muscle biopsy done by only six specialists in the country. I'd bet a million dollars that one of them doesn't live in North Carolina, and they wouldn't take Medicaid even if they did.
