Re: Heavy metal tests? To Eve - Candidiasis

[Guest guest]

Eve - Probiotics are important in fighting

yeast and these other organisms, they are the

good bacteria. www.kirkmanlabs.com sells

some great products. There are several strains

that need to be replaced in the body to help

fight yeast and the other out of control

organisms.

Eve - Autism is now classified as an intestinal

disorder and brain injury, of course, this is

very cutting edge presently. In Ethan, they found

Candidiasis, so longstanding that they treat

medically, diet alone being insufficient. They

also found Clostridia in him. The toxins of

both organisms are known to be potent neurotoxins

causing part of the brain injury in autism.

Clostridia and yeast, the toxins, they throw into

the system are notorious for interfering in muscle

function.

They have immune system dysfunction because the

immune system fails to recognize the yeast and

other organisms and does nothing about it, nothing

appropriate, that is. Hence, the use of LDN among

them now, to stimulate the immune system to do its

job.

This immune system problem in the autism spectrum

disorders is said to be the common between

autism, MS and other disorders, like lupus and

some cancers - see the LDN site for the list of

disorders having this same underlying problem.

They tossed around MS for me for a long time but

could not find the lesions either.

Important - the chemicals in our food act like

antibiotics in the intestine, killing off the good

bacteria we need to prevent some of this. Limit

them as much as you can and supplement with probiotics.

Hope some of this helps you!!

Hi Natilie, my doctor did prescribe an antifungal, diflucan, and it made my liver shut down and almost killed me, I had such a terrible reaction to it. I was told I was extremely allergic to it, so I've just been trying to control it with diet. I will begin supplementing with probiotics at the same time I begin taking LDN, and I have blended fresh garlic cloves into tomato juice off and on during my life and handle that well so I will resume that, too. Autism. When was it classfied as an intestinal disorder and a brain injury? Was it recently? I'm wondering why I am having to take this information to my doctor, not the other way around. I took her the info on LDN as well. Eve

Hi Eve. Ethan started on Nystatin and

usually takes that, no side effects, just

lies in the intestines killing yeast and

then passes out of the body in the stool.

He does Diflucan only when he is on

an antibiotic for something else.

His liver is carefully monitored then.

I do fresh garlic in carrot juice or

just eat garlic slices on a baked

potato, etc. because I can't convince

one of my doctors to treat me like the

autism doctors treat Ethan.

The DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!) doctors

have been working on it for ten years

or so, I think. They are doctors whose

children or grandchildren got autism.

Like us, they got no help from the

medical doctors. All were very good

doctors with lucrative practices when

they started researching autism.

Until recently and their research,

there was no " medical " research on autism.

Now, they are calling it a gut-brain syndrome

not the " psych " disorder that it has

traditionally been considered to be.

Really fascinating. Anyway, some of

the kids they treat come all the way

to recovery and lose their autism

diagnosis. Some recovery fully but

keep the label. Some don't respond

completely to treat, and they are

still looking into why. If Ethan

responds completely to the LDN in

a few months, he may be completely

recovered.

These doctors are on the cutting

edge now. I asked them about all

my almost diagnoses of MS, lupus,

fibromyalgia, etc. - have symptoms

but can't positive tests. They

maintain that these are " adult " forms

of the same gut-brain syndrome, the

same biologically as autism in many

respects. The variations come in

each individuals genetics, their

age at exposure to their own

unique etiologies for the diseases

(for example, the specific live

viruses or other organisms in play,

the specific heavy metals and amounts,

etc.) In the Caribbean (I'm not sure

of spelling), people are getting autism

from tin in their drinking water. They

collect rain water off of tin roofs,

and get autism that way.

Stay in touch.

Hi , you have so much information for me, that I feel I truly need, and this list has so many people with their own problems, I thought perhaps you might like to email me directly? my email is jacquie@.... I can't thank you enough. Door upon doors upon doors are opening. I'm just not sure yet what to do about it. Eve

Thank you for this information. It is so mind boggling for me that I have other people who have these same problems. And, thank you for telling me what DAN is, had no clue. I have followed my husband of 46 years all over the world, have lived in Morocco, Spain, and many other places that have no laws about chemical contamination, and have huge problems iwth parasites etc. Who knows what has happened to me. Now, I have some leads. Thank you. Eve

Hi Eve - Wow - about all the places

you have lived and things you might

be exposed to. The DAN doctors are

kind of sounding the warning about

that to all - their work really has

great application even outside the

world of autism. There is so much

pollution now no matter where you

live or what the laws are - I'm

starting to think we all have more

in common with our ailments than we

think. The various labels are

different, especially depending on

how you acquire yours - but inside

there are such striking similarities.

Keep in touch.

Hi , Warning, long email, and probably too personal. I will keep in touch. Right now I'm just reading these posts and absorbing and learning. I've been in stall and accept mode for far too long. When I think of all the chemicals I came in contact with, used regularly, that are now banned, it's scary. Typewriter cleaning fluid, flea sprays, cleaning compounds... I am letting my hair grow out, and long enough for a sample, how long is that? It's only about an inch long now.

I am learning all I can about Lyme, a definite possibility. I saw that someone posted that he/she had 35 out of 38 Lyme symproms, can anyone tell me where to find these? From reading, I've noticed I have several that my doctor has just sort of lumped in with the others -- facial numbness and mouth and tongue numbness for two.

I am definitely going on LDN, as soon as possible, should I insist on an MRI first so I have a base to compare with?

Lyme, MS, Mercury poisoning (investigating chelation) all scary but at least they would be answers and I am discovering perhaps I don't have to actually have a diagnosis to receive treatment? I am picking up that many of you are getting treatment without a firm diagnosis.

There is a doctor in a town nearby that does IV chelation therapy, which is better, oral or IV?

Lyme is a spirocete bacteria, I know. When we lived in Morocco, years ago, we were told over 60 percent of the population had syphyllis, also a spirocete bacteria, and saw people walking the streets with end stage nerve damage that is very similar to the walking/balance problem I have now, just like Lyme incurs. If I don't have an arm crutch (canes don't work for me because of tremor) I can walk but I stagger as though I'm intoxicated. I've always been a one-man woman and dh of 46 years is extremely healthy and strong, so I probably wouldn't have caught that, even though for two years we did live exclusively in Kenitra. We never tried to isolate ourselves as we were told to do, because we wanted the experience of actually living in another country and getting to know people. And there are so many parasites I could have picked up and still be harboring, including things like malaria. As you can tell, this not knowing is a constant source of anxiety for me, I am literally grasping at any straw I can think of. Knowing would be so much better. Not knowing causes one to worry and wonder about so many things it just seems impossible to investigate them all. I can't live at the clinic. I already go three times a week for physical therapy because I have a really bad knee and need to have it replaced and I need to build up strength and stamina or I might not be able to get back on my feet because I am so weak and achey and tired. ly, I know my doctor just wants to see me once every few months so she can renew the many prescriptions I have, and my oxygen machine and sleep apnea equipment. I go in and out. I need to find a new doctor who actually takes an interest but I'm not certain there are any, anywhere. I'm even thinking about asking for a new referral to Mayo. Lots has changed in nine years. Sorry for the length.

Eve, still investigating, and glad to be here...

Eve, I have done IV and oral chelation. My preference was the IV method. The oral method caused my feet, ankles and legs to retain fluid. I don't know why except possibly due to the anti-virals that one doctor has me on, the ingredients in that product were pulling too much toxins at once. As far as an MRI before starting LDN...it would be interesting to know if and when changes occur. LDN is certainly worth trying. Marcie

April 1988 is when I had my initial attack of multiple sclerosis and

have gotten a yearly MRI ever since. It always comes back unchanged

from the year before yet these last few years my symptoms worsen. Go

figure.

Yes, LDN IS worth trying. You have nothing to lose and everything to

gain. I wish I had found out about it sooner. Good luck!
