Dr. Megson visit

[Guest guest]

Good news everyone, of course bad news too, but that's just dependent on your

perspective. Found out ph has bad case of Clostridia. Holy cow, suspected it

for a looong time but now have confirmation. Due to his reaction to Nizoral Dr.

Megson is going to draw out the Flagly treatment so we get a gradual increase.

What I've learned about Clostridia, and the 8 different stool samples I had

local labs run that always came out inconclusive, well thank goodness for

Doctors Data Inc and Great Plains and all the rest. Finally an answer. Also got

his hair metals test results. I am unsure of what it all means, and it'll take

weeks of reading to get a handle on things, but thought I'd post to see if

anyone who has had similar results could shed some light. For elements he is in

toxic range for Barium, and 3.26 or less is normal, he is excreting at 54.89. He

has never had this for any sort of diagnostic test, nor has he had any

concoctions like Pepto Bismo ( Dr. Megson asked). If it can come from nitrates,

carbonates and sulfide, does that mean any product in sulfide or carbonate form?

He is also showing toxic levels of Bismuth, .224 or less is normal and he's at

..644, again known to be in antidiarrhea and antimicrobial compounds, so back to

evaluating his supplements. And the final toxic element he is excreting in heavy

quantity is nickel. Now I have no idea where that comes from. Normal is .559 or

less and he is at .858. I know it could be displacing the copper and zinc he

needs, so I'd like to get a handle on it, but he drinks bottled water, doesn't

wear belts and I simply can't think of where this would come from. The nutrient

elements were more worrisome. Copper and zinc show normal excretion, but you

never know how his body is actually utilizing them, especially if the nickel is

displacing them. Chromium level was high, .17-.49 is normal and he's at .56.

Molybdenum is also high, normal is .015-.048 and he is at .052. The one that

really has me concerned is the Lithium. Normal is .0032-.019 and he is at .0249.

I think I'll get a blood test regarding this one. The strontium was high

..08-2.87 is normal and he is at 4.37 and Vanadium which is at .0662 when .0574

is the top normal range. The little info. sent with regards to the Vanadium

stands out as he has low muscle town/fatigues easily and has been suspected of

hypothyroid, although he doesn't have this particular issue. Know this is a

long post. I apologize. For parents out there who had bad experience with

cellulose version of enzymes, I'd recommend getting your child tested for

Clostridia. Just a parent though, not a doctor. Thanks to everyone that takes

the time to read this. Have really good news but I wanted to get this post out

first.

You can also post ph's hair test results there and get helpful

comments....

cellulose feeds certain strains of bacteria, shouldn't, but amps it up

somehow. I'm pulling everything I could find and Dr. Megson's stuff

together. Will post it if people are interested, or at least the links. I

believe this is the reason Devin added a touch of MCT oil?

I've not found any concrete studies done that say specifically what spider

veins in the cheeks are indicative of. For us, I use it as a barometer of

what ph is tolerating, sort of like the red hot ear and eczema cheeks

factor. Nizoral caused horrible spider veins, glutathion, and a couple of

other things too. Our solution was to either cut back until spider veins

disappeared, or cut it out completely. Spider veins disappeared at 1/4 tsp.

of glutathion, so we were able to keep that supplement. Also when my son is

ill the spider veins are readily apparent. We don't use coconut oil,

although that is good I've heard. Lots of parents use it to cook with.

Haven't gone there yet myself. Same idea, different form, we use Monolaurin.
