Re: Eggs - Yolks and Whites [xpost]

[Guest guest]

Dear n:

I don't know if this information will help you, as it is simply anecdotal.

I am a person that suffered from bipolar disorder for over three decades until I

got better naturally in the late 90's. Beginning in 2004, I taught my teenage

son Willy how to do the same in regard to himself.

For both of us, egg is our most problematic allergic food.

Both of us were food allergy tested years ago via Metametrix (RBC), and neither

food allergy test picked up on this egg allergy. This is one reason, of many, I

have little faith in such tests.

I also know of two other persons, one bipolar, and one unipolar (and now dead

from this), that had very serious allergies to eggs. Every time either of these

two people ate eggs, a day or two later, they seemed far more depressed.

Egg allergy can be crippling, unless it is recognized, such that eggs, and egg

containing foods, are avoided.

Are we allergic to the whites, the yolks, or both? This is a question I do not

have the answer to.

I do not know if egg allergy applies to your situation, but I thought it worthy

of mention.

Both of those were eliminated here with anti-fungals, anti-virals, and B12 [with

carnitine, folic acid, and B2 for proper absorption].

Yeast overgrowth or mineral deficiency.

The yeast might be in other areas, not in the GI tract. Try increasing the

yeast protocol, see how many of the above symptoms it addresses.

Can you please suggest specific commercial or natural products that you

used, and with which you had success.

> Yeast overgrowth or mineral deficiency.

We will start the yeast protocol described in KdF's E & A.

Hadn't thought of that ... but it makes sense given the behaviours and

the 'pattern match' for yeast published now in so many places.

For anti-fungals, biotin and GSE worked best.

For anti-virals, I used OLE, Virastop, and high doses of vitamin A, vitamin C,

and lysine

I used Jarrow brand mB12 sublingual.
