Rudeness, whey, mercury and herxing-- are they the same?

[Guest guest]

The subject above is meant humorously.

Barb- Your excusing Tony's rudeness of tone, partial

answers and obfuscation, etc. because you " know he

cares " (versus people who are rude but you don't

know?) is, to use his choice phrase-- hogwash. We only

know how it sounds, the rest is guesswork. Note that I

used " rudeness of tone " not calling him names

personally.

It's his partial answers, rather than his tone, which

I find a waste. He talks in conclusions not

procedures, he appears to selectively respond to only

one of a list of questions to be specific about--

mostly with a rant and an implied set of procedures

but little specificity.

Tony- your conclusion that all herx is " bugs firing

back " is interesting but obviously not the whole

story. Yes, there is evidense of bug cytokine

stimulation in response to threat, but there is also

evidense of endotoxin released from both bug

functioning and from killing them. The toxicity of the

staph you mention is precisely this. So these blanket

statements you make that something is completely the

thing you have concluded, and anyone who thinks

otherwise is an idiot, are unwarranted and misleading.

Let's have a talk, not an ideological lecture.

On another front-

I'm trying a couple of new things to add to the

picture. In my search for a less expensive way to

add... whey, I found a source of undenatured way from

Bio Chem which is an isolate and claims to be 99%

undenatured (should be non-denatured). It's obviously

not as concentrated as ImmuneRx but has two things

going for it: it's cheap at Vitacost.com, and since

it's not as potent I don't get so much detox at once

and can ramp up more gradually. I'm finding it is

really helping.

The second thing: I'm trying, with a home test kit and

some NDF-- a micronized chlorella-- to do a home

mercury challenge to see if this might be part of my

immune supression, a la build up from low glutathione.

I'll let you all know whether this came up with

anything useful.
