Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 hi, consider probable metal toxicities...check for amalgams, environmental exposure, exposure to lead paints, welding, sashimi (high fish intake), vaccinations etc...metals are underlying culprits to disrupting the immune system (hence the chronic infections). pcbs and petrochemicals can also disrupt the immune system. if amalgams are present, i highly recommend they get removed and only by a biological dentist. only after amalgam extraction, can you then run a challenge test for urinary heavy metals hope this helps good luck Lamise Dr. Lamise Elkhalil BSc, ND Suite 301 - 828 West 8th Vancouver, BC 6048770504 To: From: drjheiger@...Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 03:28:16 +0000Subject: Low IgG levels Currently, I have a patient with pseudocholinesterase deficiency and low IgG levels, with the lowest being IgG2 and IgG4. She has a history of GI problems since birth, such as gas, bloating, diarrhea/ constipation, and abdominal pain. Also, has a history of recurrent UTIs, BV, HPV, and HSV outbreaks. Since being on a treatment regimen for gut dysbiosis and following the specific carbohydrate diet, there has been a substantial improvement in her GI symptoms and overall health. However, the patient and myself are still curious about the low IgG levels and if there is a way to increase these to a more normal range. Does anyone have any suggestions or feedback? I've heard that it is difficult to increase SIgA levels. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I know that fagus sylvatica (European beech) - gemmo can help in the early stages of hypogammaglobulinemia. It can be used in combination with rosa canina, and it should not be used for more than 2 months, with caution in autoimmune disease. However, I have never used it in practice, so I don't have any personal experience with it.
