Guest guest Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 HI all, Thanks heaps for your contribution on my hair test result. I appreciate you taking the time to check it out. I'll answer some of your queries: >Whey protein may be okay for some if they are low cysteine and tolerate it well. Others get worsened symptoms due to the sulfur content. I seem to be okay with sulfur based foods, my thought is that my liver is so underfunctioning that it needs the sulfur for the sulphation pathway of phase two detox. Most of the foods I am restricted to on the failsafe diet that cause no reaction are high in sulfur. >Do you get exposure to chemicals in a garden center? Fertilizers, pesticides, that sort of thing? My work is mostly outside, but I do have minimal exposure to these things. Since doing Pfeiffer and eliminating sugar and flours and most grains I don't smell them or react to the brief exposures I have. It's the only work I'm trained for that I can do with the energy I have that's outside as I have problems working indoors. >FIR is more likely to cause problems with chemically sensitive people, partly due to chemicals in the glues and wood, and partly due to the FIR heaters themselves because they heat unevenly. We have a portable one that is material, not wood, that we got second hand that had gassed off to a point where I can't smell it. I've read the files section but choose to disagree based on other research I've done. I may in time change my mind on that one, though. On Wednesday, I gave the chemist my script for DMSA and am picking it up today. A friend of mine who is a naturopath (and using DMSA himself) told me that DMSA bypasses the liver and takes the mercury out through the urine. Luckily for me, my kidney energy is strong so I'm hoping this is going to be okay. It's clear that my other detox pathways aren't functioning well and my digestive difficulties would be hindering the mercury's exit via that way. Have you read Andy's books? I read Amalgam Illness, but the local libraries don't have the others and I'm maxed out financially to buy another at the moment so any assistance from list members is appreciated. >To enhance absorption, digestive enzymes, ascorbic acid, and/or betaine HCL are advisable with an all low presentation. I do these too. I found Dr Wisons thoughta on the LOW FOUR pattern intriguing: " Lifestyle change and changing oneðs thought patterns are most important as well. " My thought patterns have changes a great deal after controlling which food chemicals I ingest (naturally occurring ones as well as additives) Indeed, I previously was a good fit for his personality profile of the low fours but now, especially after Pfeiffer, I am a different person. It is interesting to note that my problems were exacerbated by my change in lifestyle from the drug taking alcoholic chain smoking city dweller to the clean living country dwelling hippy; especially when I gave up cigarettes. To do this I ate bakery products, so it's no surprise, really.my poor gut. " The most common symptom of four low electrolytes is exhaustion. However, some who have not been in a four lows pattern for too long are not in touch with their fatigue. They may continue to push themselves and use stimulants, activities, worry or other mental habits to drive themselves. " Yep, I am exhausted a lot, but do not use stimulants anymore. " High doses of the sedative minerals help slow the adrenals. The supplement program consists of high doses of only a few supplements, usually calcium, magnesium and zinc. " Precisely what helps me the most when I'm having a 'food reaction'. So my next question is: I've heard that DMSA can increase yeast activity in the gut. Has anyone experienced this and what to do about it? Thanks, Kelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
