***TEFLON***

[Guest guest]

FYI

does anyone have a suggestion to an alternative pan that doesn't stick?

As this story will tell you, is just isn't as harmless as you may believe.

---------------------------------

" About three or four years ago I began having to urinate too often,

including getting up five or six times at night. Gradually it got worse until it

reached a peak a few months ago when I was urinating two or three times an hour

all day long.

Sometimes after going to bed I would have to get up and urinate 10 or 12 times

in the first two hours. Then, in addition, I would still get up another five or

six times during the night.

Along the way I had my prostate checked manually ... TWICE. No problem could

be found. I took a blood test and my PSA was 0.69, which, I understand, is

excellent. Ultrasound was done regarding my prostate, kidney and bladder -- no

problem was found. Nonetheless, I still had to urinate frequently. There wasn't

much there when I had to go but, regardless, Mother Nature was being quite

insistent.

A Surprising Environmental Link

I noticed, however, that the problem went away when I left home to go on a

trip. Within 24 to 48 hours of walking out my front door, my system returned to

normal. When I returned, the problem came back within 24 to 48 hours. So, what

was happening at home to cause this?

I did elimination diets and could find no discernible cause from what I was

eating. I spent more time outdoors to see if a change from non-house air was

doing it. No difference. Besides, it wasn't likely to be something in my home

because I had moved two years ago and had the same problem in the previous

house.

Sometimes the problem would subside for a while and them come roaring back,

and I was convinced that I was somehow causing it. I did EFT on it, of course,

and would get temporary relief. However, the fact that the EFT relief was only

temporary was a big clue that I was doing something on an ongoing basis to cause

this problem. But what was it?

How a Teflon Pan Made All the Difference

Then, about two or three months ago, I read an article on your Web site

regarding Teflon. It said that cooking things in Teflon over high heat was

likely to cause toxicity. Although I never used high heat (nothing above medium

heat), I recalled that three or four years ago (about the time all this started)

my mother gave me a Teflon frying pan ... which I began using regularly.

I stopped using the Teflon frying pan and BINGO! About 24 to 48 hours later

the problem vanished and has never returned. It now made sense. When I left home

for a trip, I was away from the Teflon frying pan. When I came back, I started

using the Teflon frying pan again.

Sometimes we cause illnesses and are completely oblivious to what we are

doing. I may have never figured it out had you not put the Teflon caution on

your Web site.

Both my bladder and myself send you our thanks. " Craig
