To avoid electromagnetics most you should ensure you are not sleeping near an electrical outlet and have nothing plugged in, i.e. clock radio (use a battery run one), lamps, etc. You can cover outlets themselves with aluminum foil. It is possible the wireless network is causing problems, but I don't know much about them. Not having the TV on is good; ensure you also unplug it from the wall. Do not use your microwave for anything too, and unplug it. The best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kim, I just wanted to let you know I have had the same problem. From what I have read, candida overgrowth and mercury poison are closely related. I went through a horrible year of allergies, full body rash and debilitating anxiety and fatigue. Because of the anxiety, I clenched my teeth more and more at night until finally I was waking up with a sore aching jaw from clenching so hard. This all caused more mercury to leech from my 2 amalgam fillings causing my symptoms to get worse. What helped me to reduce this problem, was increasing my fats. Coconut oil, butter, animal fats. All of these detoxify heavy metals from the system. I suddenly became allergic to things that had never caused me problems before, and sensitive to very many chemicals. If I had focused on the external and the symptoms, I would have never come as far as I have now. It's all in the diet. I guess what I'm saying is, I don't know how far into the diet you are. I don't follow it strictly yet. But I do know that I have gone from not even being able to work, and being covered neck to calf in a horrible rash, to HAPPY and much healthier with the help of Nourishing Traditions and this site. I recommend rather that worrying about every little environmental hazard you have, you stick to detoxing the heavy metals out of your system. That's where you will get the most results. If you've already been doing Bee's program for 3 years and you know all this, I'm sorry! Hope I might have been of some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Make sure you are taking calcium/magnesium while chelating out heavy metals with the diet and supplements. I've read that if your not getting enough calcium our bodies will store heavy metals in our bones and teeth. I've had pulsing teeth pain lately too. I've just had a hair analysis test performed by a naturopath, $95. I'll get my results in 3 weeks. Vern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my second time doing this diet. The first time I had the same symptoms as you - rashes and suddenly allergic to foods - garlic, soy, peaches, etc. I have always been a clencher and grinder. Is it possible that my wisdom teeth never came in? because I can feel a set of teeth in my gums at the back. Last night I couldn't sleep because my mouth hurts so much. I have a " clicky " jaw and my chiropractor has been helping with that. I also have had anxiety and depression. > What helped me to reduce this problem, was increasing my fats. > Coconut oil, butter, animal fats. All of these detoxify heavy metals > from the system.

Hope I might have been of some help I had been eating mostly bone broth with lots of fat so I'm almost there. Its tough when you feel so bad detoxing. It makes me want to quit. Also, I had the eucalyptus body wrap (as I didn't read the email Bee wrote discouraging it before I got to the spa) and lo and behold, yesterday I was so sick - vomitting, diarrhea, sinuses stuffed up, super sore throat and the foggiest brain I've ever had. My depression is getting worse and it's hard to keep ahead of " my gremlins " as I call it (I'm reading " Taming Your Gremlin " right now). I don't feel like eating and when my body aches like this I just get even more depressed, thinking about how far I have to go to be well. My husband is not exactly sympathetic to my problems and belittles my health choices. I'm going for my therapies today - massage, physio (wrist problems from nursing and holding that baby!), chiro and acupuncture. I mostly enjoy the talking to people who are 'enlightened' about holistic health. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I developed sensitive teeth also. Are you on prednisone? When I started taking pred is when I noticed to sensitivity. Good dental hygiene helps some but I also use the special toothpaste when it is bad and that helps. I don't know for sure if it is from the pred.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 He Deb, I got the same about a year ago. I went to the dentist and he said it was a result of grinding my teeth in the night. It may be non related, but it may also be a function of stress or other pain manifesting. He made me a mouthguard which I always forget to use. I hurt my back a while later moving a refrigerator and he gave me a prescription for Baclofen ( a non addictive muscle relaxer). I noted that when I took this I slept better than ever before, teeth did not hurt, wasn't exhausted in the the morning. He noted that small flares in the psoriatic arthritis may have been .. a not letting me sleep b stressing me out c resulting in teeth grinding. now I take em whenever I am having a flare. cheers T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Deb and T, I have posted here recently about my daughter and this struck a cord with me. My daughter has started grinding her teeth about the same time that she started sleeping alot. That has been for about a year now. She hasn't been diagnosed with PA yet, but the more things I read the more I wonder..... I kept her home again this morning because she just seems so tired. When she finally got up, she came into the livingroom and laid down thinking it was time for her to get up and get ready (school starts at eight and it was almost 9:30 when she got up). She said " mommy I'm sorry I didn't go to school today " . Once she has been up for a while she seems to be good, but I have to get her up and moving at seven so that she can wake up enough to get ready. She goes to bed at a descent time and this has been going on for a long time so I can't imagine that it is from lack of sleep from a regular day EVERYDAY. There is something underlying that makes her this tired every morning and I think that it is the PA, but I don't think the rheumy really cares very much until she actually sees signs on her body. Sorry to go off topic, I just wanted to throw that in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Joanna, It is me that has the daughter with the teeth grinding and the fatigue. She is seven soon to be eight in a couple of months. I thought that I have already thought of everything and came up with nothing. The only thing that seems to fit is PA. I trust the rheumy in the sense that it may not have been PA yet in the joints and that she wanted to keep her as a patient to follow her. I just don't know if I have enough symptom wise to go back to her yet. It seems as though she wants to see swelling in order to make more decisions on meds. She did give us a script for naprosyn and I may try that tonight to see if it helps her sleep and what she is like when I try to wake her in the morning. Deb, I am really sorry, I didn't mean to take away from your question,sorry again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 They do perform sleep studies in children. In the Chicago area, Childrens Memorial, ton North Shore, and Lutheran General all have pediatric sleep study programs. (University Of Chicago, University of Illinois, Rush, Loyola, and La Rabida probably do as well, but since most of our patients don't patronize those institutions i couldn't say for sure.) Certainly, if there is a large teaching hospital in your area, and most particularly if there is a pediatric hospital, there should be no problem having your pediatrician or rheumy or whoever write a referral for her.
