white lips...does this mean anything?

[Guest guest]

My son (8yo, asperger's, chelating w/ AC protocol for over a year...)

has been getting white lips after eating certain foods lately. I think

that it might be vinegar that is doing it?? He likes hot sauce and

salt and vinegar potato chips and whenever he eats either of those

things his lips lose all color. Does this mean anything? We have been

on and off of so many supplements over the past few years, I always

wonder if something new means that he's deficient in something. Not

seeing any *new* behaviors, but some are more prevalent lately, namely

anxiety and frustration about doing anything that anybody asks him to

do. I don't know if that has a formal name, but we battle that one off

and on. If anybody has seen this before please let me know.

Thanks,

In the past years I have been trying to find out what caused this in me. But I

found that I had a lot of food sensitivities that seemed to cause me

constipation and also spasms. When the symptom first started, I didn't feel any

other symptoms. Sometimes I noticed the color in my fingernails faded too.

Years down the road I found a connection with my constipation with wheat,

preservatives and additives and soy and citrus. They all seem to cause the same

symptoms in me and it was awful trying to figure out what it was.

The lack of color in my lips continued and then stopped but I don't know what I

stopped eating to connect it with. Since I had it for such a long time I got to

ignore it but felt self conscious. So during the time I found the solution I

was having chest pains that was spasms from eating these foods. The

constipation and spasms got so bad that I needed medication to relieve the

spasms. So my guess is that these food sensitivities can cause restriction in

your blood vessels, resulting in lack of pink (blood flow).

I also had yeast overgrowth and found no improvement in the color of my lips by

the treatment I got for my yeast. I was dumbfounded for a long time. One very

bad culprit in my foods, drinks and condiments is a preservative called sodium

benzoate. This just makes me very ill. Check into that.

Wow LIz. That sodium benzoate was the poison that I saw being the

most destructive for my duaghter at the beginning of all of this. She

had a flavored water with this poison in it, and she started to run

around the theater pulling everyones hair! It was scarey. Glad you

discovered this.
