Re: CSM made me very sick /Alpha Lipoic Acid

[Guest guest]

, I couldn't take CSM since it caused digestive disturbances, so

my doctor recommended alpha lipoic acid, which I started. I have lead

in my blood too which it has been studied to help eliminate. There

are studies out there on ALA you can read up on. I think (??) Dr

Schaller here recommends it or others here have used it too.

I would like to know what kind of side effects some of you have

experienced? Those who are not listed.

From what I have been reading about Cholestyramine it is one of the

less dangerous medicines on the market today. --Since it just goes

through your digestive system and not into your bloodstream - as such.

I know about the side effects - constipation and heartburn, but the

other I haven't heard of and I am really interested to hear about

them. I have only heard of side effects related to the gastro mental

system since the medicine goes through it.

When I have too much exposure around me to handle, the CSM doesn't

help in any other way than helping the body to get those toxin out of

the body instead of circulating again and again. The symptoms I

experience are not side effects although I am sick on CSM.

The difference is that my symptoms disappear sooner than not on CSM.

Like mentioned - unfortunately, CSM is not a perfect healer you

should rely on - I think we (mold victims) should in the first place

avoid all mycotoxins and rely on CSM to help us get rid of the toxins

we get from re-exposures.

Since I have had the chance to get almost total avoidance from

mycotoxins my MCS has decreased unbelievable, I can even smell a

perfume from a distance and actually like it. Three months ago every

smell made me so sick that I was lying in bed in pain.

CSM has helped me to get my health back and my MSH levels up.

Myglas33, I experienced lots of vomiting after less than a week on

CSM. I had had stomach ulcers not long before that and Candidas

infection that I was trying to get over. It may be my digestive

system was just terribly irritated by the tiny insoluable fibers in

CSM.

SPECTACULAR!

I was working in a moldy office several doors away from a bathroom.

People would use the facilities, and then spray that nasty stuff they

call " AIR FRESHENER " . I would be working and suddenly feel nauseous

and my vision would go dim. I would be forced to leave until it

dissipated.

I would sneak into the bathroom and throw away all of what I

call " Stink Spray " from under the counter, and later would often hear

someone calling " What happened to all the spray? We just had a full

case and now it's all gone - this is impossible " .

It is difficult to go from liking nothing better than the presence

of a perfumed woman - to being forced to flee the very object of your

desire, and then being called a liar and that your behavior is all

imaginary.

It was stunning to find out that persistent mycotoxin avoidance

allowed me to enjoy perfume again and take pleasure instead of pain by

proximity to tantalizing perfumed vixens.

It was MIND BOGGLING that I thought that MCSers would want to know

about this - and find out that the very people who had the greatest

need to know were the ones who most strenuously rejected the concept, -

even more vigorously than denier doctors who would just turn and walk

away muttering " crazy " .

, CSM will chelate important minerals out of your body and that

could cause problems. It hard to know how much of a mineral

supplement to take to offset that but you'd need a good source of

minerals. Minerals are chelated with any agent that would chelate

heavy metals. Zinc, copper, iron and other important minerals are

metals too, and chelator can't tell a beneficial metal over a damaging

metal.
