Wisdom and Guidance and Your Experiences

[Guest guest]

Hi to the list from Australia. I have been lurking for a little

while and would like to send some questions out to the group. I am 32

and have had ms officially for about 4 years. I was very interested

to read about the proposed headache link to ms a few days ago as I

started to get headaches - which I assumed were migraines, complete

with nausea and tiredness - about two years prior to my first

definite ms symptom (my right eye, fully recovered). My naturopath

has had me on Ca 2AEP for some time, I also take supplements and

copaxone. Anyway, I am interested in suggestions about mercury,

detox etc. I went to see a Complimentary Medicine GP about a year

ago. As soon as I said I had ms he said I would be very toxic, full

of metals and allergies, etc etc. He snipped off some of my hair and

sent it to the US for analysis, and then had me take a 'Super Vega'

test (a machine that registers the change in your electrical impulses

- I think - when exposed to metals / foods etc). This lasted over 90

minutes and the end result was that I had no allergies but a very

strong reaction to the Epstein Barr Virus test (I had glandualr

fever, my only other illness, when I was 16). The Hair test also

came back negative, no excess mercury (in fact below what is usual)

or any metals. The Dr then cancelled my next two appointments and

his secretary didn't suggest a third so I haven't been back. What do

people make of these results? I am trying the ms diet, what other

suggestions do people have? And any other people from Australia?

Thank you for reading this far, and please feel free to email me off

list. Good Health to you all in 2001.

I sure don't have much to offer about the tests you took, because I've never been tested for metal levels. I heard somewhere that the hair analysis tests weren't very reliable, and since insurance wouldn't pay for those kinds of tests, I just skipped the whole thing. I have heard there are more reliable tests now, but I still doubt my insurance would pay for them. I'm just doing the best I can with diet and supplements, attitude etc. I have been having pretty good results this way, so will leave it at that for the time being anyway.
