Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Wow Phyllis.. This is very exciting news. The testing shouldn't be anything like the first one but will be in the booth most likely. I am sure each center does it differently. Good Luck and be sure to tell us how the appointment goes. Alice Testing? I have an appointment for the fifteenth of December for a bilateral testing. Can anyone tell me what this will consist of? I decided I wanted to try for a double implant and now need information on what the testing is like. Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I will. I am a bit nervous but I really want the second implant and wandered if there was some kind of guideline in order to get it. I am doing great with the one. So I guess it is selfish to want the other one done too. Testing? I have an appointment for the fifteenth of December for a bilateral testing. Can anyone tell me what this will consist of?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 THANK YOU!! I needed to "hear" this!! LOL Really, you are correct. I never thought of it in those terms. I was grateful for the hearing in one ear. Yes, I want it all. I was completely deaf for so many years and now have enough hearing I can talk on the phone "with the patch cord" and can listen to my music etc. but I do want more. I am going to try and hope I will be able to get the second implant. Get on that soap box! Glad to read all this. Phyllis Re: Testing?

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi all, I want to do some basic testing in several family members, looking for familial patterns and specifics. Aside from Hair Analysis, which tests do you recommend? Also have you done any genetic testing you found to be helpful? We're trying to correct existing problems and prevent further and future problems. We have a strong family history of probable mercury plus other toxins. We're looking at liver detox patterns and brain neurotransmitter stuff. Our family has a very wide spectrum from very normal to very not normal! (Actually, nobody in my family is normal!) I am re-reading - again - the Bible (Amalgam Illness), and finding stuff I've missed before! Thanks judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 No it is not necessary. I recommend it for those fighting cancer or other critical issues. Steph testing? I am new and have been reading all the posts. I appreciate all the valueable information from everyone. There are posts about testing. This may seem like a really dumb question but I have to ask.Is the testing really nesessary? From what I have read, everyone has different levels and you should do what is right for you. The Iodine, and companion supplements cost enough as it is. I am on a limited income, single, and the last blood test to check my t3 and t4 levels (besides what my insurance covered) was $107. I can not afford testing and the products. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I haven't taken those products specifically but you do need to keep up your probiotics even with the iodine. Iodine will kill candida, and each time you raise your dose you may need to step back on other antifungals for a few days if the die off is too much.

Does anyone out there know about this and or have tried it. Plus, do I need it if Iodine kills the fungus?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Threelac and Fivelac are probiotics products. Pam, everyone needs probiotics, and it's always a good idea to add in probiotics when you are detoxing, which you will be when on the iodine protocol at first. You might not need both though. You just need one good one and get a good amount of it. -- At 06:26 PM 3/23/2010, you wrote: >I haven't taken those products specifically but you do need to keep up >your probiotics even with the iodine.
