Mercola Update

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I just returned from Mercola¡¦s and wanted to share his staff¡¦s

suggestions:

I am relieved as well as totally confused¡Kwhen the doc went over my

stool and urine tests, they were negative for yeast, fungus,

bacteria, parasites, etc!! I guess my strictness with the diet and

antifungals is paying off. Although he did say that yeast and fungi

can sometimes be missed in the stool, yet my urine didn¡¦t show any

markers either, so he doesn¡¦t see yeast as an issue for me. I¡¦m

still going to stay away from sugar based on what Patty, Lynda and

Rogene have said.

He thinks my bloating may be related to a high cortisol level from

mercury. I was so happy to see that I have a healthy level of

acidophilus (beneficial bacteria) as last year my stool results

showed absolutely zero for anything good¡K.so the probiotics really

work!

He said that in his experience, when someone has odd symptoms yet

blood, stool, and urine are negative, it¡¦s generally some kind of

poisoning. Given that I have high mercury he suggested oral

chelation using DMSA to detoxify the tissues and alpha lipoic acid

for detoxing the brain. Patty, I don¡¦t remember if you did DMPS or

DMSA? What was your experience like? Oral or IV? He said to wait

til after the holidays, as I may feel worse.

He also said that no amount of fasting or perfect diet will heal you

if you have heavy metals. Fasting is good for eliminating chemicals

and fungus but not for metals. He said it¡¦s extremely important when

using a far infrared sauna or ionic foot bath to be taking in a lot

of fiber. No matter what kind of detox you do, much of the toxins

still travel to the colon and the best way to get rid of them is with

lots of fiber and water.

Even though I feel as though I¡¦m dying almost every minute of the

day, I only have Stage 1 Adrenal Fatigue which is good because they

said my adrenals can bounce back from Stage 1 in 3-12 months. My

cortisol is still at a high level but it is no longer so deviated

from the norm so I can safely begin detoxs in a few weeks.

I am going to take pregnenelone and DHEA in the form of sublingual

drops to strengthen the adrenals. He also gave me Seraphos to lower

the cortisol. He said these hormones will trick the brain into its

normal routine and after 3-12 months I can wean myself off them.

He went over adrenal fatigue, stating that for the rest of my life

the following are imperative and non-negotiable:

ć Sleep between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. During this time the

adrenals rejuvenate themselves twice. If you stay up between these

times, your adrenals miss out on this repair¡K.obviously, I¡¦m not

following doctor¡¦s orders right now!

ć Eat protein and fats at every meal to regulate blood sugar.

Absolutely no delaying or skipping meals because even if you delay

and then eat, it¡¦s too late¡Kyour adrenals have already suffered.

ć Moderate exercise 30-45 minutes 4-5 times per week because it

strengthens the adrenals as long as you aren¡¦t pushing yourself too

hard.

ć DAILY stress management in the form of meditation, prayer,

yoga, listening to music, resting, whatever brings you calm and

peace. If you do this your adrenals are able to tolerate the

everyday stressors encountered by all.

He put me on 30 mg of Armour twice daily for thyroid even though my

antibodies and T3 are very close to normal.

He is ordering an infrared imaging (thermography) scan due to the

burning sensation I¡¦ve been having in my arm. He said this will pick

up on any inflammation that a blood test may miss and is better than

a CT scan or MRI because of radiation side effects. He also wants it

of my whole body to check any undetected dental problems (something

they see frequently when everything else seems normal) and breasts

and back.

He told me to hold back on the carrots as I¡¦m turning orange¡K

seriously, my palms look as if I have a really awful fake tan!!

Lastly, I had Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to alleviate my fears

about the chelation process, future, etc. My EFT therapist had

mercury toxicity so badly, he was seizing from it. It¡¦s a comfort to

know he has regained his health and more from the situation! Love, PH
