Mystery Diagnosis

I have had constant pressure around my head for the last three and a half years. It is as if I had cling film wrapped tightly round my head. It is mild skull crushing.It is not a headache. There is no pain.

Any suggestions please as to what it may be and any possible remedy.

We all have issues in many areas , physical, relational, spiritual and I hit mine from every direction. John Bergman has teachings on improving yourself from many directions . thoughts, words, choices, posture, and you might get some insights from him. I have.

This one is self talk but he has others that are very interesting too.

DON'T take this post as me judging you but remember we can only change ourselves and that changes our environment. Define boundary lines on behavours you permit, and talk through issues that are unacceptable. You loved him enough to get married. Please don't take this wrong ...my heart is right.

Dear Robby, It seems to me your husband is very neurotic. Now neurosis is a condition that stems from unresolved feelings. Therefore you can not figure your way out of said feelings. This is why he keeps looking for odors in the frig. and such. Unless he is a war veteran who suffered severe trauma, or car accident and such his neurosis may have started as a child or infant. There is PRIMAL THERAPY but it is not readily available. Hopefully he can find a therapist who can help him and you and or some self help group.

Hello Robynrenee, Re your husband...

Sounds like system wide infection. The coated tongue is more evidence. That condition is likely fungal and or viral. I used to have a coated tongue but after taking a swallow of Colloidal Silver a few times a week and leaving in the mouth for a minute so the tongue was covered, that problem went away. If the problem is, indeed system wide, swallowing two tablespoons twice daily for me, was enough to turn around systemic infection. Assuming the infection is not in the brain via an old ear infection, six months on CS might be sufficient. Ask him if he has had persistent or a few VERY severe ear infection that predated the sensitivity matter...hearing, smelling light sensitivity. If so, write back; I'd suggest ramping up the protocol.

Greetings EarthClinic Family,

I read Bill's book on candida and my life is slowly changing. I feel better in many ways even though I'm still undergoing the treatment and into my 5th month. I take it seriously and do the ACV, iodine + baking soda, turpentine and borax powder water, avoid bad foods. My stomach is flat and I've lost 7 lbs (I weigh 107 and am 52.) My complexion is much better although I had a severe breakout recently (4th month), I think I may have had a delayed herxheimer effect or was slow in getting rid of the systemic fungus. Does that make sense?

My new husband, a very handsome 55-year-old who looks 40, is not good internally. I've looked online to find what he may have and cannot locate except he could have fibromyalgia (I don't believe that's it which is why I'm throwing this email out to you guys, and Bill and Ted, of course.)

He's bloated often, except when he wakes up in morning. He's got acute anxiety--let's people know how wrong they are on the phone, and often asks for "their supervisor." (He's really a gentleman inside but gets this way often.) He volunteers as a prison minister on Thursdays for four hours and has been doing this for 10 years. He's a cyclist and works out at gym (although he's slacked off a bit lately.) He does not work for anyone but works a tad (spinning his wheels making occasional loans.) I don't think he's capable of working a real job for anyone else. He'd be miserable.

Here's his symptoms: extreme sensitivity to many things such as light, sound and smell. He can smell something bad in the fridge while its in a closed drawer and must have "just gone" bad. I cannot really smell it even close up! We clean out fridge every Monday.

He is sensitive to others and gets feelings hurt easily. He gets acid reflux and gas occasionally (unsure if this has anything to do with what he's got, but I'm listing everything I can in case any of you have any ideas on what this could be. He thinks he needs an anti-depressant (I do too sometimes) or some type of anti-anxiety medication. He has to maintain order in house or gets stressed. He's almost a hoarder but not--treasures many things in general and saves them. He brushes teeth and drinks those protein shakes but has a film on his tongue and uses a scraper to remove the film (he swears it's just the "shake.") He's got breath issues sometimes too. Eats "okay"--definitely wouldn't work with my candida so we rarely eat together.

Please someone help or his anxiety could destroy us. He gets angry and disrespects me often, speaking down at me. It will destroy our relationship and we're just 10 months in. If you have any ideas I would appreciate your input.

A nutrition almanac reported that there is more potassium in a TBSP of BSM than any food.

Another poster said that the anti-fungal medication her doctor put her on, caused her hair to fall out, so I'd check the side-effect list on your medication if I were you. A lot of Folic Acid (a B vitamin) can help bring in new thick hair if one takes it for a few months, although new sprouting incoming hair should be seen within one month. Perhaps you do have an overgrowth of yeast the way you describe the sensations, maybe the medication just wasn't effective. How about a natural shampoo with Tea Tree Oil? ( And an anti-fungal diet? Or using Virgin Coconut Oil in your diet and on your scalp?) There are pharmaceuticals that can cause chronic thirst, but a marked deficiency of Potassium can also cause a thirst that cannot be satisfied.

Lisa, your mom may need to alter her diet to eat more raw vegetables or take digestive enzymes to aid her in avoiding the reflux. Perhaps she needs core-strengthening exercises to sidestep the back pain, or is the "back pain" in her kidneys? If so, the herb Red Clover can cleanse them. Palpitations of the heart point to major mineral deficiencies, particularly Potassium, which can be supplemented through capsule or diet. Molasses is rich in Calcium, Potassium and Iron, and while the heart also needs vitamin D3 ( adequate sunshine), and Magnesium, it's at least a good start in getting the Potassium one needs. For stabilizing the heart rhythms, it is often taken daily, as the heart needs its essentials daily. With Blackstrap Molasses, a teaspoon to a tablespoon, depending on weight and whether one has eaten or not, seems to be sufficient. Taking too much on empty can result in a loose stool.

Milena, Too much garlic one isn't accustomed to, can cause enough gas to do a convincing imitation of menstrual cramping. If it is cramping caused by hormonal imbalances, then Borage Oil ( liquid or gel caps) can be a very good answer. This is frequently used by women in menopause or peri- menopause to gain hormonal stability through the change of life.

Mustafa, Are you getting sufficient major minerals for your heart? It sounds like you're trying to describe heart palpitations, as if your heart is telling you not to run. Calcium, Magnesium, and the very important Potassium, our hearts need. Vitamin D3 too, which means adequate sunshine. But Potassium is so vital, that whether it's in a capsule to take with one's meal, or by way of a food like blackstrap Molasses, it's important. These minerals are essential for the heart. Molasses is rich in Calcium, Potassium, and Iron; You can take a spoonful, and see how it helps you. A teaspoon to a tablespoon seems to be enough to stabilize the heart rhythm quickly, especially when we eat it regularly, as often as we need it, even daily. So you know, taking larger quantities of Potassium can also result in easing the bathroom visits, and too much can result in a loose stool. Finding the right amount and frequency to meet one's needs is a good thing.

Joeelli: From your first several sentences, it sure sounds like Candida (fungal) overgrowth, because you list multiple yeast/ fungal locations. As to low pressure streams, and how other systems could cause that, you may need to study to learn more.

The heart needs vitamin D3 ( adequate sunshine) and the major minerals, and perhaps you're lacking in Calcium, Magnesium, and the very important Potassium. Heart palpitations, arrythmia, can result, is scary, and makes laying down very uncomfortable, even impossible for some as the heart then wants to be elevated by sitting up. Blackstrap Molasses is rich in Calcium, Potassium and Iron, and eating even a teaspoon to a tablespoon of it can help stabilize the heart's rhythm within a minute or two. Taking in a larger quantity of potassium can also ease the bathroom process, and a lot can loosen the stool, just so you know.

Duke does not have a carcinoid center. They have NO doctors who specialize in this type of cancer. They only have a single answer.....sandostatin. As a side note, they are paid to study patients on sandostatin. So, I feel there is a conflict in interest here.

Your best bet is to seek a specialist. Dr. Vargas in Nebraska heads a carcinoid clinic. I personally like him. There are other doctors but I cannot recall their names.

For years I am suddenly waking up from sleep with heart palpitation and a feeling that I am going to die. Whenever I lay to sleep I have same problems. Taken many tranquilsers and recently magnesium citrate, no cure. Is it panic attack or any other problems? How can I diagnose it?

Hi!

It all started with dandruff on my scalp. Later seborrheic derm. on my face. Afterwards nail fungus on my little pinky - then on the toe beside. White-coated tongue, cold urticaria and now urinary problems. I got completely tested. kidneys x-rayed and are ok - urethra x-rayed, also ok. blood, prostate and urine also ok. Urine stream with low pressure. Same with ejaculation. What is wrong with me? Is the problem within the gut? Leaky gut syndrome?

Toxicity, frontal lobe damage, inflammation, chromosome 22 damage, liver, gut, metabolic damage, hcl, mineral, good bacteria deficiency, missing aminos, thyroid, adrenal dysfunction, acidity, infections can all cause chemical sensitivity apart from a need to hang onto pessimism. If you haven't had to endure anaphalactic reactions several times a day for decades without having a clue what's going on perhaps you shouldn't comment. I have clinical depression also and can't take medication because of reactions to it. Although, until I can improve living conditions; ie. living in a car talking to noone not even on birthdays or xmas it wouldn't make a difference. You could hold a gun to someone's head with depression and they may not be able to think a positive thought. The world is full of people and till you swap places with them who are you to judge? Your comments might be just enough to tip them over the edge. You don't know what they're hanging on to or not.

Timh, some people don't get rescued, adopted or have a caregiver to claw back at. Or talk to about treatment options would be great. You try sleeping in a car by yourself as a woman where you don't even fit, sick & unable to get food. Try 1 week, just one where you have one eye open half the night to ensure you don't get attacked. If doctors had the knowledge or more than 10 mins to give 20 yrs ago I'm sure I & my organs would be in a much better position for some of this advice to work. What sounds like undying pessimism to you is frustration that what has worked for others doesn't work for me and I keep trying. Pain changes you. Read some of the worst fms questionnaires - they're not a barrel of laughs either. If stating facts makes people uncomfortable I won't post on here anymore. There's not many places to look for advice and definately noone to talk to about it. This has been a source of comfort.

Hello Mustafa;

You describe what could be Atrial Fibrillation. A Fib is usually associated with a lack of Magnesium. The "pounding in chest" could be heart's irregular beat. (Epsom Salts baths are a great way to get magnesium into the cells of the system as well as Mag caps.)

Also you say it is worse in the morning; this could be a stomach ulcer. You need to kill the underlying virus/bacteria...I use Colloidal Silver plus DGL (a licorice extract) plus aloe Vera broken into two doses of all the above twice daily on empty stomach. One of the doses must be at night before bedtime.

OR...if the condition is "gastritis" (pan gastritis) as the Turkish Doctor said then that condition is an inflammation of the stomach lining. Such inflammation of the stomach lining is usually a viral infection, so again the Colloidal Silver will kill that infection. I'd use the same formula for that as for a stomach ulcer.

You only give two real clues: "pounding in chest" and "worse in the morning"... so my best guess was those three possible causes. (And what the Turkish Doctor said.)

You were talking about "running and stop order" or something like that and I was not clear what you were saying. If you have any more description, I'd be happy to try again but if you try the combo of Epsom Salts baths (along with taking Magnesium caps) plus Colloidal Silver and DGL plus aloe, you might just find you hit on a solution.

I always...and I mean always assume a virus MIGHT be working. No harm making sure those little monsters are not the underlying cause of the problem. (Hence, the CS...which kills virus/fungus and bacteria.)

hi, i have a symptom of throbbing feeling on my chest, I went under twice endoscopy, one time angiogram for my heart and one time esophagus spasm test through my nose.result is nothing until a doctor in turkey told me I have pangastritis.what ever tablets im taking the pain is always there a specialy in the morning after breakfast until around 4 pm.all these started as I was having like stop now order in my chest if I wanted to run, now after 4 years this is where I am/is there anything you may think of? Regards

Bess: It has long been suspect that no matter how much great advice, love, encouragement etc. that people have showered on Robyn here on E.C. she remains seeming chained to an undying pessimism. It seems like a hopeless case.

It's a sad state in much of the world. There are un-rehabilitate rescued pets, adopted children far to damaged to ever repair. Often, the caregiver takes a loss. My few yrs as a Nurse Assistant had several cases of being hit, bit, slapped, clawed, etc and there is nothing to be done as the patient has all the rights and the workers have no defense. The world is literally full of people that have pain as their closest friend. Alcoholism and substance abuse is overcrowded w/ this category.

Back in the mid 20th century there was a psychologist that explored the basis of such insistence on pleasure/sex & pain & death; his findings (can't think of his name right now) expanded some of Freud's theories of Id-Ego w/ the fundamental pleasure/pain principle. Very simple, we are all conceived in pleasure and born in pain. Most world religions aim at transcending or mortifying these basic carnal imprints, compulsions, and behaviors.

Well, what a rant. At least there is some knowledge on this subject that can lead to the possibility of cure, otherwise it's a lost condition.

Well Robert Henry - it was just a few short weeks ago when you didn't believe Mama to Many was “real” ... now, you're on a rant about Robyn suggesting she is putting people on a guilt trip.

You said that the USA has “51% victims as citizens” (are these your statistics?). How does that help anyone on a site where people from around the world are looking for advice about their health problems or sharing their solutions?

A little bit of compassion and understanding goes a long way. Here's what Mmsg from Europe had to say to Robyn: 07/22/2014: Mmsg from Somewhere, Europe: "Robyn, I don't know how I can help you but I love you and suspect that many here do too, without ever having seeing you!! Whoever we are, we send you hugs and hope, even though we don't yet know how/what will help you."

Well said, Mmsg! I hope Robyn gains strength from your words.

Robert Henry, I wasn't on the computer for 30 mins because some of it was pretyped from the day before. That's what I have to do to send an email. There was no intention of guilt tripping. Not one for asking for help, being the rescuer was usually my role I started to ask for help 10 yrs ago as I got down to 36 kgs but got it from nowhere. Except recently people on here have offerered support and I'm very grateful. I've done everything anyone has ever suggested. And certainly hoed my own row for the 21 yrs I knew I had a problem, ordering my own lab tests, trying everything. If you can't carry food, prepare it, even put it to your mouth it certainly doesn't help you get better and does change your view of humanity. Many people haven't believed me. I can stand another. It doesn't mean I consider myself a victim. I also don't think I've been blessed with the "lucky" gene. The help I was asking for was ideas on how to live any sort of life this disabled. I've looked up all the hero stories I could but as one counsellor told me it's pretty hard to help others if you can't even get dressed or have a shower yourself.

Was wondering if you could help me find any solutions for getting menstrual-like cramps at he age of 64!

Thanks, Milena

HI U ROBYN, , , , , , , , , for some reason, I don't believe a word you wrote. You say you can't get on a computer, but you had to stay on one for 30 minutes or so to write your story.

You want help? Then ask for it. These folks would love to help you, but you wrote a ditty that is supposed to put us all on a guilt trip. The USA now has 51% victims as citizens. Your story tells me that you too are a victim. A victim of what? I have hoed my own row and suggest others to do the same. When I get in deep stuff, I ask for help and this site responds. They will for you too.

======OLE ROBERT HENRY=======

Robyn, I don't know how I can help you but I love you and suspect that many here do too, without ever having seeing you!! Whoever we are, we send you hugs and hope, even though we don't yet know how/what will help you.

Thank you to those who commented. I looked up the Joni Eareckson Tada story as I have looked up many without limbs or in wheelchairs that have gone on to be politicians, sportspeople, run foundations or back causes. As Joni says she is not in pain 24/7 never ending. She has some days of pain. Even though she has people to help her and many that love her she still feels despair sometimes. But she has a life of purpose. To bring awareness to those with chemical sensitivity, actually it's an all encompassing sensitivity, we can have anaphalactic reactions or seizures to grass, dust, fragrance supposedly made from natural products 1. Many of us have pain non stop. It changes who you are. Living on morphine for the rest of your life is not much of a future. 2. Even though I have limbs attached and am not in a wheelchair and to all I look perfectly well most of the time I can't move my arms for a drink of water or to chop up veges, certainly not to pick up a phone, even if I could because it didn't electricute me causing me even further excruciating pain that lasts all day. I'm sensitive to emfs. 1 email a day is it for me & I pay for that. 3. Joni and most live in a house and sleep in a warm bed not like those that can't tolerate building materials. 4. Many have support otherwise how do you stay alive? Not being able to get food much less cook it. And that's just the basic. 5. What about being loved? Joni admits to being grateful for that. 6. And for that reason passes it on doing work with the disabled. This gives her purpose. If you are laying on the ground or in a car because you can't move with no improvement as each decade passes what is the purpose? 7. I found another woman laying on the floor unable to move very bitter about being abandoned by her family. I haven't seen or heard from mine for over a decade when I was called schizophrenic. I was hauled in by the police not once, twice but 3 times in an enclosed vehicle with their heavy deodorants, driven through a very busy area with all the petrol, dragged into a hospital with all the cleaning fluids with staff also with heavy deodorants, toxic washing powder in their clothes, put in a room with 8 students all with perfumes on & they tried to force drugs down my throat. I react very badly to any drugs. As the pain in my body reached unbelievable heights I was locked in a newly painted room without a window. My life was being threatened by a mentally disturbed woman while they decided my demise after having threatened me with keeping me in for a week for observation. Does this happen to people in wheelchairs? Noone could see the distress my body was in. They didn't test my liver, or cortisol levels, or mineral levels or heavy metals to see that I would have a genuine reason for being so distressed. 8. Many of us don't even have the most basic needs met, besides food, I haven't had a hug for over 10 yrs, it's been longer than that since I had a hair cut, I wear what I slept in because even though I have limbs I can't use them. I can't reach up to my head to wash my hair, over my head to put a jumper on, pick up a towel so showers are rare. I don't imagine this is how most quadriplegics live.

So how on that basis when you can't go near a phone, rarely use a computer, can't bathe or clothe yourself on most days, food is a nightmare would you do community work, run a foundation or do anything to help anyone else even though you would like to?

Lisa, a safe and gentle way to start might be to upgrade her diet to a more alkaline one.

Hi, I've been visiting planetthrive for many years now. Although I don't suffer seizures all day long I do, I can't breathe most of the time, I am in pain ALL the time to the point I have to take morphine, then I have the reactions you would know of when I smell toxic things. I didn't meet anyone on there that has had this without knowing what's going on for 21 years, totally on their own and living in a car. They don't discuss much more than brain retraining now. I did nlp enthusiastically 15 yrs ago. But not knowing I was still breathing in, ingesting more poisons, allergic foods ruining my gut even further so now I have addisons & thyroid disease. From tests I apparently don't metabolise much. Doing new age stuff, tapping, nlp any of that stuff while being ignorant of what's really going on is bad! Whilst you don't want to make it worse by being stressed out of it in your mind I believe you can't ignore the biochemical. And no, I don't give a rats about diagnosis. Like fibromyalgia so they can give me a barrage of drugs, all that hurt me. The other diagnosis are real. I don't have the hormones that keep you alive. If you ignore a diagnosis of addisons you will be dead very soon. Thanks for making contact.

Dear friends! I really need your help! My mum has suffered from extreme acid in her mouth, followed by backpain and feeling of pulsating and painful stomach ulcer. According to gastroscopy, there are no ulcers, but she suffers and the butchers keep giving her more anti-acids. What could this be? She has suffered a heart attack and is on a lot of medications that she does not plan to stop, but due to back pain and palpitations, she gets scared for her life every time.. Please help, what is this, and how do I help her?

Hi Robyn xxx I'm sorry for your suffering I too had MCS and it nearly killed me a few times. And I had to avoid people, places and things big time too. And I too got that I wanted to die rather than face more years of torture and isolation. Mine was caused by Medication, a mold, and breathing in fumes from cars on a main road I lived on.

And prior to that I lived in an area where there was a huge leak from a nearby Chemical plant at the time I walked past it so everything came to get me at once it seems. Blood test showed I was seriously toxic after Doctor's trying to say it was 'A Mental problem?'

I have recovered really well and some things only bother me a tiny bit now, but nothing to write home about. To be honest I know that it's residual fear from when certain things that used to effect me badly to the point of near death, or dying. But this will go away soon like many things now have, and life is worth living and a big adventure, and not just an every day trial for me just to live for one more minute.

By accident I found a community of MCS sufferers on-line a few day's ago while looking for something else. Here is the .com address... http://planetthrive.com.

There are many like you and worse than you although I know that right now that's the last thing in the universe that you're going to believe, but don't give up. Have faith in yourself and your bodies infinite wisdom to heal in the right circumstances. And faith in yourself to learn how and what to do. It will come, the Universe will send the answer, all you have to do is just be willing to watch, listen and do. And bit by bit everything will fall in to place and you will get well. Never-mind 'diagnoses': your ears are the one that hears that.

Your Body knows nothing about it except to look for what it need's to repair itself. And remember you are way more than your body, you are not your body, you just reside in it. And neither are you anyone else or their diagnoses or trials, we are all unique. But one thing we all have in common is the capacity to heal and hang any diagnoses.

It's too easy to get disheartened just because your pain has now got 'a name?' This does nor sum up who and what you are and diagnoses? There are more misdiagnoses than correct ones and wrong survival time line's given. If they where correct then I should have died more times than a quarter of earth's population by now man!!!

There is lots of things at 'Planet Thrive' that will help you and you can get in touch and there are more than you know understand exactly what you are going through. In fact they considered themselves 'A Tribe' as they all know what each other is going through and here is some where where you will and can fit in and get help and support from as well as all of us here at EC.

Love and hugs xx Andrea C xxxx

Robyn: I tried Liposomal Encapsulated EDTA a few months ago for the removal of Manganese toxicity but I had to quickly stop as I also have all other minerals deficient. In this case, I was taking on radiation (which is a chronic problem w/ mineral deficiency but very much aggravated by this therapy).

You can purchase a $40 Ultrasonic Cleaner from Amazon plus a container of Lecithin Granules for about $15. An empty 32 or 48oz plastic bottle for mixing. Be sure to drink lots of water to help flush out the copper.

Thank you for your comments and thoughts. Before finding Dr Wilsons nutritional balancing, I could only eat cooked veg and never starchy veg. And it is recommended for those with adrenal problems and copper toxicity. Any kind of juice made me feel ill. Not that it has worked. My adrenals are still dead. And my metal load is high, mineral load almost nil. Almost no metabolism etc etc. I don't think I can digest the carrots but thanks for your thoughts.

Last year I watched JFK shows. He had addisons and thyroid disease, also in terrible chronic pain, IBS and the rest. He ran a country, a family, extended family, affairs, was adored by many, but he could live in a house, be in the same room with people, could breathe. Of course, he took a long list of drugs to do this. No one could say his life wasn't full and rich despite the pain. But I don't know how to achieve anything when I can't get any improvement on any front no matter what I try. It might help if I was a religious person. Unfortunately, my father was a minister of the church and also very abusive so I haven't followed that path.

I only had 2 EDTA IVs because I can't go in a building or near other people. I have used suppositories and orally. My understanding is EDTA will pull out the heaviest metal first. I have every toxicity possible except mercury. My lead and cadmium did come down a bit. But in trying to understand this I understand sick people don't detox well. My liver stage 1 works too well, stage 2 is too slow, my bowels, gut, kidneys are all too slow so I would have just reinfected myself. Copper is best removed with zinc, I believe, and no surprise mine was very low. And if you're adrenals are bombed you will accumulate copper so I'm not sure how good any detox is if you're adrenals are dead. I hope this helps someone else. I used clays, zeolite, chlorella, cilantro, ST; apparently all too harsh for someone sick. And it didn't bring the levels down. Hope this helps someone else.

Sounds crazy simple, but wean off the meds and bathe in natural Borax in as hot as water as you can stand, about 1-1/2 to 2 cups, once in the morning and once in the evening, dunk your head back in too, but not your eyes (a few drops of room temp black tea in the eyes will help treat that area - stings for a moment but harmless). Boron is naturally part of your cells so you won't have an allergic reaction to it, but your skin will likely turn red or rashy briefly initially from the heat and the die-off as you likely are dealing with parasites similar to scabies with mange-like symptoms and difficult to detect and treat.

These are a new emerging health problem, especially affecting people who have spent a lot of time hiking, on farms, in gardens, around animals or dirt. Drink a couple glasses of cold water afterwards to rehydrate yourself and cool down. Do the Borax baths twice a day for 2 weeks and then a few times a week for maintenance - it may take a very long time to get rid of it entirely, but I have no doubt you will see quick improvement right after you start. Borax is cheap at the Dollar store. I have done this and know of others who have and it works every time.

You could also at the same time do other things that are helpful if you're able to such as alternating drinking different anti-parasitic teas (sweet annie/Chinese wormwood, rosemary, cilantro, etc.), use neem or tea tree soaps, pine tar shampoos, make an oil to spray on your skin mixing mineral oil or deep tanning oil (without any sun block) with 5-10 drops of clove oil and/or tea tree oil to apply to everywhere on your body, and avoid foods that feed bacteria or parasites and help them grow or create an acidic environment they thrive in - avoid coffee (instead drink black tea or lemon water with no sugar or herb teas), no soda, sugared drinks, no fruit juices (eat real organic or non-chemical-treated fruit and vegetables instead), no artificial sweeteners/chemicals, dyes, no white processed foods like white bread, white rice, pasta except 100% whole-grain, preferably rye, brown rice, sprouted or gluten-free.

Eat plenty of protein to build your cells like beans, seeds, nuts in salads, eggs, fish and lean meats, and get plenty of fresh air and sunshine - the UV kills the parasites too so don't wear sunscreen for at least a couple hours (and if you do make it natural/100% organic). Probiotics are also very helpful to add good immune-supporting bacteria to your system, and the best all-natural vitamin/nutrient product I've found that is potent and easy to take is the Alive powder shake with pea protein which comes in chocolate, vanilla, and green apple. It comes in a large canister and lasts a long time, can be expensive, but if you get it online it can be found on sale for about $20-25. Hope this helps & best wishes! :-)

Dear Pact12345: Since you are in college you are probably getting a lot of hidden sources of MSG which explains the sinus infection. Mama to Many's suggestion of extra vitamin C, especially before you go to bed would be beneficial.

I had read a vitamin B-6 deficiency could result in hair loss and fluid retention. Because it is important to take all the B's together, so you don't cause a deficiency in any of the others, you might get a high potency B-Complex supplement.

I would suggest taking Blackstrap Molasses because it is an excellent source BUT with what has happened to our food supply you have to be so careful not to get too much sugar from other sources.

Hello Pact 12345,

Re the scalp condition et al...

To figure this out...if hormonal or a disturbed endocrine system or a fungal invasion, it would be helpful if you told us how this all started. Have you been on meds ... what and why....

I note the infection issue is present too. That is an indicator that maybe the heart of the problem is viral/fungal. If you just want to start up with attacking that aspect, it's easy enough...just get a bottle of colloidal silver and start topically applying to scalp as well as irrigating the sinus, ears and gargling. Drink two tablespoons twice daily. If this thing attacking you is viral, you'll start getting relief in a few days. You might have to be on the CS for six months to kill the virus...if the cause is a virus. I'm not convinced that the cause of your problem is viral/fungal.

Of course, that could be PART of the issue. So nothing lost in making sure no viruses are doing damage to an already damaged situation. I'm thinking endocrine system. Now it is totally possible to have an infection in one of those glands that compose the endocrine system. I presume your doctors have taken saliva samples to see what your endocrine is doing...correct?

But back to some basics...please tell us how this whole thing started...if with some sinus infection and then you started having scalp and headache issues (sinus)...then if the inception of symptoms was close to a bad infection, then I'd be blaming virus/fungus. Only one thing might indicate virus as the culprit...that sinus infection you mentioned. The CS will knock out the sinus infection. If it's quality CS. I use an ear syringe to squirt the CS deep into sinus cavity. That gets it into Eustachian tubes too where LOTS of bacteria/fungus/virus hide.

Please report back and give a detailed description of inception...back to before the bad symptoms you describe began. Was there a prior infection? Describe. HOW did symptoms first start?

Dear Pact12345,

I have a couple of thoughts. I imagine other posters here will have more thoughts and hopefully among them all you will be able to figure out what to do.

My first thought when you said that you had hair falling out was "infection." I have heard a couple of times of ladies who had a sickness and following it they had major hair fall out. Do you still have sinus infection symptoms? You could try Dave's colloidal silver irrigation of the sinuses and ears, or other ideas on the sinus infection page here at Earth Clinic.

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/sinus_infection.html

You can also see the page on hair loss to try to encourage regrowth.

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/hair-loss-alopecia-women.html

In the fall I was possibly exposed to lice so treated myself as if I had it. I used castor oil and coconut oil with tea tree essential oil on my scalp. I did have new hair growing in after a time. This may also help with an itchy scalp. I mixed a jar up with 1/2 cup castor and extra virgin coconut oils and added a teaspoon or two of tea tree essential oil. It is super duper messy. I would I carefully massaged it into the scalp and left it on a couple of hours (I wrapped my head in plastic and then a towel). It took a couple of washings to get it all out. I repeated a few times in a month on myself and daughters. Do this gently, though if you are losing hair.

My other thought, as soon as you said, ""Thirst, " was "Thyroid." I was having severe unquenchable thirst and found out it was because my thyroid was low. I have been using Lugol's iodine and companion nutrients for years. If I run out of iodine, my symptoms return after a while. There is a lot about it on Earth Clinic.

https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/lugols-iodine-treatment-bill-thompson.html

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/hypothyroidism.html

While you are trying to figure out what is going on, some extra vitamin C would be good. Also, a teaspoon or two of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar in a tall glass of water once or twice a day has helped so many with such a variety of problems, it would be an easy thing to try.

I would look for hidden sources of MSG in your diet as that can cause thirst.

Please let us know what you find out! I hope you are feeling better soon.

~Mama to Many~

For 2 months, my hair is falling out by the clumps, it's thinning at an alarming rate. My scalp is also itching and burning. I am also experiencing extreme thirst and no matter how much I drink, it doesn't go away. I was put on Kentocornizole (so) tablets because the doctor thought it was a yeast over growth, the medication did not work. I switched to an over the counter gentle T-Gel shampoo, that hasn't helped. I was checked for diabetes about 3 months ago because I was dealing with sever daily chronic migraines (had them for 1 1/2 years)...I finally found out myself that I was not having migraines but severe sinus infections (how numerous doctors and neurologists couldn't figure that out is beyond me). Since I am extremely thirsty I am thinking this is an internal issue rather than external...but I just don't know. Any advice on what I may have or what I should do is appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Robyn,

I saw your post this morning but was unable to write until now. My heart goes out to you. I am sorry you are suffering so much.

I have been thinking of you since I read your post. Feeling hopeless is miserable, on top of terrible pain. What I do know is that of the people I have known in the past who were truly suicidal (made attempts but failed) all of them went on to live and indeed overcome their circumstances to an extent, some quite abundantly. While it never seems as if they will, things do always change.

Have you ever read the book, Joni by Joni Earekson Tada? It is an amazing book of human courage in the face of dreadful circumstances. In the 60's, Joni was in a diving accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down. She was suicidal. She was 17 at the time. She has lived decades of a fruitful, though often full-of-pain life. She would say she is glad she lived.

I agree with the others who affirm that your life is indeed precious. And you yourself understand a need to have someone to whom you can show love, but cannot figure out how under your current circumstances.

This morning my family was at a nursing home where our family goes monthly to sing with the residents. I was sitting by a 20 something year old girl who is in there for life. She was in a care accident that left her paralyzed and brain damaged. Another lady is elderly and dying of I am not sure what. Each of the residents there has their story of pain. But many still sang and smiled and talked. Humans do have a pretty strong will to live and connect with others. I always leave that place feeling very blessed to be able to walk and do dishes etc, things I usually take for granted.

For me, my purpose in life is God and my fellow man. Whenever I take my eyes off of that, I am prone to sink into melancholy.

Even when I have been failed by humans in some way, I always have Jesus, the Rock of my strength. At my lowest times, He has sustained me. And He has known pain, too. "He was despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." When I am low, the Psalms are a comfort, especially singing them.

I will pray for your healing. I think Mr. Rhee's carrot juice plan sounds excellent if you can implement it. And I will pray for you to find a way to reach out to others. People that have suffered much often have much to give, as it sounds in your case.

Please keep us posted. Take it a day at a time. An hour at a time, or a minute at a time.

Love,

~Mama to Many~

Robyn, "The bigger your problem...the bigger your destiny." Do not be intimadated by the size of your problem. God will fight your battles. He has connections to make things happen. Set your thermostat on healing, faith and victory...It can be done...

Try organic carrot juice and only that for 30 days...I'm sure it will change your status...4-6 glasses a day, of course spread out...If you can't afford the organic buy regular carrots and wash throughly.

The other thing is to take sea salt baths daily..OR if you live near the ocean, go in for 45 minutes daily...

Please report back with the results...

Rhonda, I recommend you find a reputable integrative medicine (holistic) practitioner. To address the pain, while you are in search of the cause of your body malfunction, find a reputable, experienced acupuncturist. Someone have to take a look at your whole body. Prepare a summary of your lifestyle. Your chronic health issues since childhood;your exercise regime; what you usually eat;supplements you take, water you drink; summary of your medical tests and medications you take. Take it with you for your first appointment with both (holistic doctor and acupuncturist), which should last not less than an hour. Good luck!

Robyn, Timh is very right. Also, I once heard that "the fact that you were born, already means that G-d (or the Universe, or whatever) cares. We are not to take our own lives, they are not our own. Obviously you are doing something very positive by just BEING (besides everything you are trying) because, as you see, people do respond, so you are getting them thinking of ways to help you! And this in itself already spreads goodness in this world!

Robyn: As distant as it may seem, there are a few people in this world that actually, to a substantial degree, love, care, and understand the condition of all living beings on this planet. Their heart breaks over people as yourself. These big-hearted people have been infused w/ divine love and that love lives to give. This all seems abstract on the surface, but in that mental space, they hold you in their arms. They are, as we would say, angels. Beyond this pleasure/pain world, they are dreaming their love for all things. The secret is to surrender to this divine love; it's the same love we were created from and are going back too. Unfortunately all will not return, they love evil and that's their thing.

I also, have been very ill for a long time, and have only recently begun to make some strides in recovery from a severe environmental illness much like your own (with the exception of extreme chemical sensitivity, although I may classify as moderate CS).

Now, back to your physical condition. It is very important to frame your beliefs & expectation around some point of possible wellness, however seeming impossible. Rsw has just been giving me that hope & encouragement that is beneficial for wellness. This works both ways. All my time here on E.C. is a getting/giving relationship. Part of your own recovery is going beyond yourself to help others, even if this involves only intent. Intent is another necessary aspect of the goal of wellness. And of course staying as positive as possible.

Back to specifics, have you not had EDTA chelation for the removal of the Copper?? Those Copper levels must come down somehow. Does Sodium Thiosulfate taken orally remove Copper? EDTA can also be LET'd and taken orally and will remove the Copper, but you must also replenish the body w/ broad spectrum mineral supplement. Calcium AEP & Hemp Oil have only recently made major improvements in me and I am sure I would be near dead or dead now without those natural remedies.

Some might understand how it feels to be in severe chronic pain that never ends. 21 yrs now, since 3 serious virus, actually my whole 53 yrs as I had a hangover every day of my life from food. Some might understand what it is like to be tortured by a speck of dust, of pollen, of chemicals, of people covered in deodorant, shampoos, washing powder, make up, I could quite literally die if they have perfume on. Not many understand what it is like to be a woman living in a car because you can't tolerate building materials much less pesticides and other chemicals that live in houses. Apparently I'm very toxic that I can't seem to remove, virals constantly, I can't metabolise foods, make ATP, liver, pancreas, thyroid, immune dysfunctional and adrenals are dead.

I can't have a pet to love. I have tried to find a purpose, something to live for or something to love but to no avail. EMFs prohibit me from using the computer for more than a few minutes, a phone never, I can't go near a person. I have no friends, family, place to live, work I can do, I can't sit up for long. I fail to find anything I can do or be. And since I've tried everything on here and the net (most making me worse) I have decided to give up. I am interested in how people are finding purpose.

Re: Addison's Disease and Medical Marijuana: There was a show on it last week that it should be legalised for medical use. It's illegal here and I don't have any human contact at all so I would have no clue where to get it. I have manganese toxicity too.

Robyn: You say you "tried Marijuana", does this mean you "smoked" MJ??? Forget the free radicals produced thru smoking and use the liquid Hemp/CBD Oil orally; your condition will improve maybe to the level that your many other therapies will actually begin to make some positive difference (as it now seems they are not). Calcium-2AEP + The Hemp Oil/CBD have substantially enhanced the effectiveness of all my other therapies. Manganese toxicity is my primary problem.

Yes, Ive tried all that. I've done enemas, saunas, charcoal, moly, zinc, selenium, chlorella, everything suggested on this site. Everything suggested on my lab reports. In fact, Im sick of taking so many pills. Yet I could see I had very limited everything the liver is supposed to produce so I persisted. Zinc and chelators and still the copper has not reduced. But remember I have addisons. No adrenal function and the body will store copper. But really the zinc should have helped. Tried marijuana for the pain many years ago but I am very chemically sensitive. Not a chance I can go near that stuff without a reaction.

thanks for the suggestions.

Robyn, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what to advise you, but I have been reading up recently on Cannabis oil and saw that besides everything else it does, it reduces pain. Someone here has suggested it, maybe you can find it where you are.

Robyn: Did you not try the MolyB for removing the copper as Bill suggested? How about a spoonful of Activated Charcoal before retiring? That would surely absorb much copper.

Before giving up, have you tried Medical Marijuana? I have had very good results w/ Hemp Oil/CBD for my severe environmental disease. These Cannabinoids are the ultimate total body & mind balancers. Our bodies (as well as many or most warm blooded animals) are created w/ Cannabinoid receptors of 2 types ---C1 and C2 which regulate most body systems.

Please do not give up until you try these suggestions.

Re: Addison's Disease

21 yrs of torture, severe pain & allergic to everything including building materials so homeless for 5 yrs now. I cant take anymore. Theres no hope anymore. Ive been to every environmental Dr.in this country and everyone else. 6 mg natural cortisol x 2 a day gives me the right cortisol levels on the blood tests. The problem is everything else is out of whack because of this illness. According to the lab Im the most copper toxic person in this country. I've got equivalent to 27 mg of amphetamines in my system constantly x more than a decade. What does that do to your nervous system? And I cant get it out. My liver, kidneys, bowels, digestion, immune, thyroid don't work properly. Im sick of all the supplements which have helped none. I dont want to do any meditation again ever. Or enemas or saunas and sit by myself all alone with nothing to do or nothing I can do. Because of the adrenals my na/k levels in my tissues are too low. That allows calcium to build up which is also very painful. How could I not be acidic with all that metal in me? Also painful. I eat alkaline but thats not enough. Ive had enough detoxing crap. Very very slowly it did remove some of the lead & cadmium but not the copper. And what about the hormones? After menopause all your hormones come from the adrenal glands. I have none. Try living without any hormones. Is anyone else with addisons able to manage their mineral balances? Is anyone else in screaming non stop pain? Anyone else this allergic? Or am I battling a heavy duty candida aswell causing these symptoms? If I am I cant get rid of that either. Ive done my will and I cant even think of anything I could eat for my last supper. Even food is awful.

Robyn, good for you that you are keeping on trying!!

About the Papaya: the leaf tea can be made with fresh leaves if you have access to a tree.

Also, if you are eating the fruit, chew on a few pips from the middle. It's supposed to do you good too.

I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for increasing cell permeability. I take all these supplements to repair my gut, detox, repair malnutrition, hormones for all those missing because my adrenals aren't working but all this is useless (the hormones go in through the skin so they may be more helpful? although still probably not if they can't enter the cells) all this is probably not helping if nutrition or oxygen isn't entering the cells & toxins aren't leaving. I just googled how to remove acetaldehyde; the poison from candida and I don't have the enzymes to help with that. And I can't take the turps I've decided. I react as bad to that as most drugs, poisons, many herbs.

And I can't seem to get the copper out. It might help a bit if I'm not putting it in by way of beet juice or coconut oil & the rest, coffee, choc, avocado, seafood.

Anyway, perhaps the pain would be less if my cells were being nourished.

Ill try papaya tea if I can find it. We call it paw paw here. Quite nice to eat with meals but it is very sweet.

Thanks very much for your knowledge, Bill. Also the other contributors. Is it possible to take say GABA while coming off meds, at what stage would it be safe to do this I.e. do you have to wait for meds to be out of your system, or does it matter if they are taken together. Also can you recommend any good online source of GABA. Thankyou.

Carly-- I have had to be on alert for hidden sources of MSG because they are nerve stimulants. I am extremely sensitive and our food supply is permeated with the stuff.

Since pain is inflammation and turmeric and ginger are reported to reduce inflammation, I use both (1/4-1/2 tsp.) in water and sprinkle on food. In addition, I take blackstrap molasses in water or milk which also reduces inflammation.

I have been more coconut oil with a little salt-free butter. Binders and fillers in any medications/supplements could interact with each other. Because our food supply is now loaded with GMO's, in one way or another, it's becoming difficult to know how to eat safe. The GMO's are harder to digest and could also be contributing to your pain. The flowing or anti-caking agents also contribute. They are in common table salt and in various spices. This is only my opinion based on my piecemeal experience for over two decades. I hope some of this helps you.

Robyn, read up on Bee Propolis as an antibiotic and antiviral, plus an immune system enhancer.

I had the date wrong that I was prescribed the evil Lyria/Pregablin, it was 2006.

And in 2007, my Mother who was dying from Cancer after having a Mastectomy, wheeled me into Hospital screaming in agony and they did nothing.

Neither did any Doctor, Neurologist, or every other 'Consultant' I saw and mentioned Lyrica too.

And two month's ago I was prescribed it again and in 24 hours I had huge peeling blisters all over my face and more agony. This has accelerated the 'skin shedding' and other problems.

Andrea C xxxxx

I also have a huge skin problem which began in 2008 when I was prescribed Lyrica, and all the side effects on this link. My skin is also peeling off and dying layer by layer. I stopped it a few years ago after complaining about EVERY side effect and then some after being on a high dose for sometime.

I still have problems escalating to the point I look like a 70 year old and usually look many years younger than my age and not a line or wrinkle. I look like an ancient leper!! Not to mention the agony of not being able to bear clothing on and wiping on a towel after washing, which I try to avoid. And my eyes and the skin around them are in a mess, and my body looks like a withered old lady. My teeth were and are still affected as is everything else. I am now after reading this and the link trying to find a solicitor to take it on in UK which is proving hard. Is there a USA Solicitor to anyone's knowledge who will act on behalf of a UK Citizen?

Thanks, Love Andrea C xxx

Mmsg, thank you. Took 1/2 tsp turpentine + castor oil, will try less. I'm also wondering about colloidal silver for candida. I accept I have it with a copper toxicity & a nil good bacteria stool test. But I am still not sure there are not other chronic viral. I have a very long viral list. And at least 1 Dr.that says I have a stealth infection such as mycoplasma, borellia. And wrote me scripts for 3 strong antibiotics to take for a yr. Even though I took probiotics 12 hrs apart it cleaned me out of any good bacteria. But the minute I go off the antibiotics, I got down to only taking the bactrim the intensity of pain & all symptoms are back. So it seems it didn't kill anything, only suppressed.

Hi Carly...In 2008 Pfizer lost a court case concerning illegal off-label use of Lyrica. It cost them $2.3 billion for this off-label use infringement.

One of the major side-effects of Lyrica is skin sensitivity. See this link.

Lyrica was the replacement for the older medicine -- Gabin -- which is only a GABA analogue copy called gabapentin that contains the synthetic and more expensive form of GABA(Gamma-Aminobutyric acid) which is just a natural body vitamin. So why not save some money and avoid all those synthetic drug side effects by just take ordinary natural form of GABA instead? This, of course, will only help to manage your pain but will not cure your condition.

For a cure, taking Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA), Brewer's Yeast and Milk Thistle might help you more. ALA and Brewer's Yeast (containing all the B Vits except B12) act to repair the nerves while Milk thisle and ALA will act to remove any residual synthetic drugs in your body that shouldn't be there.

Taken at mealtimes

Organic Brewer's Yeast -- One tablespoon twice a day with water at mealtimes, morning and evening. You can cook with it too -- it has a nice nutty flavour. You can also take B50 complex if you wish but Brewer's yeast is better I think because it is in the more natural form.

ALA -- 300 mgs taken twice a day at lunch and dinner.

Milk Thistle -- 500 mgs taken twice a day with meals.

L-Selenomethionine -- 200 mcgs twice a day with meals.

Vitamin B12 -- 1000 mcgs once per day. Take this as the lozenge or as the capsule(at mealtimes).

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) -- As the powder form -- 5 grams a day in a glass of water. Helps to repair skin and is a remarkable anti-inflammatory and pain killer. DMSO(Dimethylsulfoxide) has the same properties. You can buy MSM at any health store or from internet vendors such as ebay.com.

Selenium combined with methionine(or L-Selenomethionine) will help your body to to produce more cysteine and hence more glutathione in the body which will also help to detox any unwanted residual drugs causing side-effects from your body. Methionine also provides essential methyl groups which also help the Methylation Cycle and which also helps the body to detox.

I would also switch from using Gabin to using the more natural GABA. If you do this then the Milk Thistle and ALA -- which only expel xenobiotics(chemicals and synthetic drugs that the body does not recognize) -- will be able to more quickly remove all the residual synthetic chemicals causing any side-effects. The natural GABA that you supplement instead will not be expelled because the body will recognizes that it is a required natural vitamin.

Whenever symptoms include a burning sensation, I immediately think B vitamin deficiency. A quick check on Lyrica side effects mentions B1 (thiamin) depletion from taking it, also Vitamin D.

Drinking tea or coffee would further deplete your B vitamins, so that is my guess as to why your symptoms worsen with caffeine use. Thiamin deficiency is also associated with decreased circulation to the brain, which may explain your brain fog.

It's funny--the Lyrica is for nerve pain, I take it, but it causes a vitamin B deficiency, which leads to nerve damage. Lots of pharmaceuticals seem to operate that way!

Hope that curing it is as simple as taking some B complex vitamins--best of luck.

Hi all. Thanks for your replies - much appreciated. Thanks in particular to Bill for his informative answer.

I have been taking lyrica for nerve pain. I have noticed quite bad forgetfulness/brain fog along with the burning lately. I used to get along quite well with the drug, however lately I have been getting these side effects. It used to cost €80 euro and now it costs 33, so I am wondering if it may have anything to do with a change in ingredients? I know that burning is a side effect as this was stated in the leaflet, however I didn't think that it could possibly mean this bad of burning. I have googled the drug online and see that sun sensitivity can also be a side effect - not listed in the leaflet. I have been on it a couple of years. The burning actually seems to get worse when I take tea/coffee so I don't know if its the water thats adding to the problem or the caffeine itself.

The doctor has now prescribed me Gabin, which I started taking a few days ago. I still do experience some burning but I have started getting chills at the top of my back, and when I put on a sweater, it turns to burning, so I don't know that this one will be an option either. I also have sensory nerve damage which I tried peppermint oil for but it was not effective. Does anyone know of any natural remedies for nerve pain, as I think the drugs might not be the way for me to go anymore. How would you go about switching. I don't know that the ALA would be an option as I have lots of mercury fillings. Thanks again folks.

Robyn, I've been following your posts but haven't been able to comment till now. What I wanted to say is that I tried ONE DROP of turpentine and felt it all day. So just maybe the "minimum dosage" is too much for you to start with. Perhaps try with a WAY smaller amount. Same with anything else that might be helpful, but causes pain.

Dear Bill, you know I also have the food allergies, fungal, candida, viral & very heavy metal toxicities, digestive tract to heal & addisons disease which causes all sorts of mineral imbalances particularly low na, k which causes ca, mg build up in the tissues which is very painful. I had been taking (for some years) all the supplements you suggested except the turpentine. So I started it. The pain was so much more intense it was making me suicidal so I stopped. My saliva ph is only 5.5. But I have told you before the Apple Cider Vinegar & bicarb makes the pain similarly intense. I dont eat much acidic as dairy & meat make me ill. I am allergic to fish & chicken so I have to try to eat some lamb or I would get no protein. I would not consider my diet acidic but I do have to take drugs. I used to think the extreme extra pain was perhaps because I was not acidic but alkaline given my tissue alkalinity. But I dont understand the extra pain. Its not something I can endure. I am screaming. Just Apple Cider Vinegar or bicarb on their own are OK. I've been taking it last thing at night hoping I'll be in the extra pain all night & it will be a bit better during the day but not so. It lasts 24 hrs. Same as the turpentine. Do you have any suggestions? 5.5 cant be good!

Hi Carly...It may well be that the old meds you were taking were causing the burning skin. It also would have been helpful if you had let us know your medical problems and also told us the old and new meds you were and are taking so that we could check their side-effects for you.

You might have taken medications for which you have high sensitivity to their side-effects. These meds might have caused nerve damage in your skin making your skin over-sensitive to both pressure and sunlight. Unfortunately you haven't told us what these meds are so we can't find out.

A possible approach for you might therefore be to take nutrients that expel xenobiotics -- that actively remove substances and chemicals in the body that the body does not recognize I.e. synthetic drugs. Supplementing nutrients like Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C, Milk Thistle, MSM(Methyl Sulfonylmethane) will act to expel xenobiotics(drugs) from the body quickly and may well help to remove the cause of your problem. But this will take time depending on how long you took the meds.

Also please bear in mind that if you do take these xenobiotic-removing nutrients then they will also tend to remove ALL synthetic drugs from the body and will probably reduce the effectiveness of any current meds that you are supplementing now. So this may not be a workable option for you.

The only other thing that could have such an effect on the skin and nerves is probably excessive aspartame or neotame in the body. So if you are taking any form of sweetener like Equal or NutraSweet -- I would stop using these sweeteners now. The antidote to aspartame is taurine(an amino acid) which will help to remove the excess aspartame in the body.

If you really need specific answers you must provide specific facts of the "medication" or "pills" as there are thousands of them and most very different from each other. Type the name of the medication in a search engine fallowed by "side effects".

Hello Carly from EU;

Re the itching problem you relate... Google "itching 70 causes" an article with photos on "healthline"...

My big question is ... when did the problem start? Did anything proceed in time the onset? I mean some event like an infection; like starting with the meds you mentioned; like an insect bite/bites etc. That might help narrow the search for the cause.

Hi, I am hoping to get the opinion of an expert, but to be honest any advice would be very much appreciated. I am experiencing extreme burning all over my body. If I sit down the burning is on my backside, if I lie down the burning is on my back, if I wear a control/support bra I get a dire burning all over both breasts- it gets to an intolerable stage at times. I definately cannot go out into the sun, as the sun sensitivity is extreme, and therefore I am effectively confined to the house with the summer here. I take medication, and I went to the doctor explaining that I thought it could be that as it seemed to get particularly worse after I take it, however she didn't seem too convinced, but she did change my pills. It is a couple of days now and I am still experiencing the burning. I am wondering does anybody know of any other reason what could be causing this if it is not the medication, and in regards to the medication how long would it usually take for one medication to go out of the system. Our house water is particularly bad but I don't know if this could cause a problem like this - flouride etc?. I live rurally and it is limited as to what services are available but I am wondering would a hair analysis be of any use or who would you contact about this. I am desperate. Thanks in advance.

Salam alaikom Mohammad, I suggest you to use honey on the navel, it is a wonderful remedy for all colon, bowel pain and Digestive system ailment.

How to use it: put a drop of honey on a piece of cotton and put it on the navel hole from night to morning, then remove it. you may suffer from bowel pain in the first few days but don't stop using it the pain will disappears in few days and you will notice difference change in your ailment it deserve a try.

The period of use this way may take month or more it is different from patient to another and severity of the disease.

To Mohammed,

Re your array of problems;

I'm so sorry you've been suffering so much. What a story.

As I first started reading your symptoms I immediately thought: Bet he's got food intolerance of some kind...like a carb issue. But reading on, the problems seemed to indicate not ONLY the possibility of food intolerances but also something more; like fungal or viral infestation.

Some hints; are you having chronic sinus congestion... or sensitivity/swelling/burning in the eyes or...constant ear canal irritation/ itching ... or scalp break out like intense itching or burning when certain foods are consumed. Any or part of that might indicate fungal issues. And often food intolerance goes with fungal infection.

On the more serious issues concerning pancreas et al I was guessing a serious viral infection might be causing that. You might have had a serious viral infection six months or a year prior to the first symptoms years ago; like mono/ staph ... chronic ear infection ... etc. If so, I'd suspect you have a virus issue.

So worse case... if this were me analyzing what you gave in your one post, I'd suspect:

1. Food intolerance plus aspergillus or another fungus probably one more at least. Candida is there too.

and

2. A Virus is working in the system which is a co-infection perhaps with the fungus and that also is causing so many of the problems.

I would if me; start taking two tablespoons of colloidal silver three times daily on empty stomach (long term).

Consult quickly with a microscopy analyst to read blood (see google "youtube live cell microscopy") to KNOW what is going on in the blood. If lots of fungus shows up your MD can also help with what to take to kill (nystatin for instance).

And the microscopy analyst should also be able to help you with exactly what foods you are sensitive to (not just allergic to)....I have 15 different foods that I do not digest well. Whereas my niece tested and she has only six or seven. I am very sensitive to wheat (to my distress) and am generally carb sensitive.

3. I'd also (and do now) take two HIGH potency digestive enzymes with each meal. At the health food stores I go to, only Digest Gold comes close to all the ingredients in my "TransFormation Digest Enzyme Supplement" which has a broad array.

Hi I am Mohammad, 44 years of old male patient is non-diabetic, nor-motensive and currently complaining of severe abdominal pain on & off , too much acid & gas formation, occasional vomiting once pain on and constipation for few months.

Several tests were performed including ultrasound scan, endoscopy, Capsule Enterscopy, single-baloon enteroscopy and showing nothing abnormality. Canada Gastroenterologist suspecting that I am suffering ULCERATIVE COLITIES, I was prescribed prednisolone 20mg for two weeks initially and then tapering doses for six weeks. But my condition is not improving at all rather than deteriorating. MY CURRENT SITUATION ARE FOLLOWINGS ; a). ONCE THE PAIN START MY SMALL BOWEL BECOME VERY HARD AND TOO MUCH PAIN, ALSO INTESTINE, COLON BECOME TOO MUCH PAIN. AND RIGHT AWAY I HAVE TO GO HOSPITAL ADMITTED FOR MIN 7 EACH TIME. b) I CAN'T WALK NORMALLY BECAUSE WHEN I START WALK, I FEEL PAIN SMALL BOWEL AND INTESTINE, COLON. Past Medical History: 1. Abdominal pain since 1985 and treated as peptic ulcer in Bangladesh. 2. Pancreatic stone was diagnosed in 1999 TO 2000 and E R C P was done and stent placed at the same time. 3. In 2000, pancreas was found tortuous and dilated with recurrent pancreatitis and side to side pancreatico jejunostomy was performed on 20th June, 2000. 4. in 2008 I had colonscopy and 4 pcs polyps had been removed. Drug History: ( At present) 1. Prednisolone, 20mg daily 2. Dexesmeprazole 3. Digestive enzyme 2 capsule with food 4. Hydromormorphone, 2mg if severe pain Thanks Mohammed maz112r at live dot com

Hi Robyn...The majority of store bought or guru recommended candida remedies will probably help you a little bit on the symptoms but, having read so many blogs on candida, these candida remedies seem to often fail for two basic reasons.

First, none of these remedies have anything in their protocols that removes fungal biofilms. So the candida is able to hide away from the anti-fungals in these protocols and reappear after your stop the protocol. Second, most of these remedies concentrate on just removing candida from just the intestinal area. These protocols seem to completely ignore the fact that candida is dimorphic -- it has two different forms. The yeast form -- a saprophyte -- normally infests local areas like the intestines and skin. The fungal or systemic form -- a true parasite -- is able to infest the blood, organs and tissues. These two reasons also help to fully explain the inadequacy of these protocols and why the candida just keeps returning after you stop these store-bought and candida guru protocols.

As an additional protocol which might also help you, Dave from Fountain Inn has been experimenting with papaya. He has various serious allergies and reactions against spices and milk based products. He found that if he ate raw papaya fruit with ice cream or salsa(which normally cause his allergic reactions), he got no allergic reactions. Papaya contains papain, a protein digesting enzyme that is easily absorbed into the blood. Papain then works to properly digest foreign protein bodies in the blood caused by a leaky gut problem. With these foreign protein bodies quickly digested, neutralized and removed from the blood by papain -- no inflammation, no pain with no allergic reactions. This worked well for him, despite eating large quantities of spicy salsa and ice cream and chocolate at the same time as eating papaya(and mango). You can read about his papaya experiments here. So either eat papaya or take the papain enzyme(triple the advised dose) at every meal to help you cure your allergies.

To remove xenobiotics -- other poisons that the body does not recognize like xylenes, plastics etc which cause chemical sensitivities, then particularly turpentine and milk thistle would also be helpful as I've already mentioned. Molybdenum or molybdate would also remove the candida aldehyde poisons from your body. Once you heal your intestines, remove the foreign protein bodies and remove all other poisons and xenobiotics thus purifying the blood, your allergies and sensitivities should diminish and you should be able to better withstand the other candida protocols without such adverse reactions.

Dear Bill, do you have a comment on these candida cleansers that promise to eat through the tough candida shell?

I've had literally close to a hundred docs & naturopaths over the years, more recently, new year, new doc, I had to try something different. These environmental docs think they can charge SO ... much but he's not with me. I already had all the tests done so he could see all the damage & poisonings etc. Other than increase my dosages he told me not to come back for 3 months. The only thing that is new to me from your suggestions is turpentine so it must be that. And all the other you suggested made no difference unless my dosage was too small.

best regards,

Hi Robyn...Unfortunately, as you say, there are so many things wrong with you, with many dysfunctional problems that are tending to hinder your progress. For instance, your huge allergies/sensitivites problem is preventing you from taking nutrients that will help you. Your high copper toxicity(and other heavy metals) may also cause detox reactions similar to Herx. And any huge candida die-off from the advised nutrients will most likely cause significant Herx reactions as well as anxiety from the sudden release of toxins from the die-off. These types of detox/Herx reactions can also cause pain in the tissues or joints. So you can either reduce the dosages of the offending nutrients or simply stop taking them.

The most awkward problem that you have is your chemical sensitivities and allergies problem which is preventing you from taking healthy nutrients and food. So I would, for now, simply concentrate on healing the intestines, liver and kidneys and purifying the the blood. Take the drink that I advised for you in my last post(with or without the alkalizing ingredients -- take what you can) and take the borax water and the liver/kidney support nutrients as well. It's also very important to take the molybdenum at the advised higher dose if you can. This will act to sharply reduce the aldehyde poisons and will also help to reduce the excess copper in your body as well as helping to kill the candida and reduce the pain.

The excess ammonia in your blood is also quite a worry. This situation is evidence of heavy stress upon your liver, kidneys and your protein/urea pathways. I've already advised you to see Walter Last but if you cannot do this, then please try and find a more knowledgeable and compassionate naturopath or doctor in you own area to help you. I feel that you really need someone with you, by your side, who can assist you through these awful problems.

Dear Bill, help! I have been on the turpentine for 5 days, 1 tsp of a mix of castor oil & turpentine so probably 1/2 tsp of each. I am alone. This has been such a long time of unbearable pain, the worst more than 2 decades. The pain is worse. I don't feel I can do this. We dont even know if we are doing anything except making me suicidal. We can only assume you are correct in your assumptions which I do. I don't know If I have candida except I read if you are copper toxic you must have. And I assume if I am having a reaction to this mixture it must be killing off something. I don't know how to do this myself. And bear this worse pain especially when I dont know how long it will be for. Any suggestions?

Dear Bill, thank you. Enemas with organic ground coffee, milk thistle, ala, selenium, hcl & enzymes I have been taking for years. Moly and iodine, borax I also did for a long time but stopped some time ago when I ran out. And thank you very much for the rest of the info. I dont think I could do the lemon & bicarb again - excruciating! I thought perhaps being so alkaline I didnt need it although I have lemon in warm water first thing in the morning. Perhaps I could do it well after the fizz but do I need it if I am so alkaline already? I am on a low dose cortisol. It was necessary as I had such a negligible cortisol reading I should have been hospitalised. Instead I was lying in a car dying and doctors refused to help me. MSM is almost impossible to get in this country. But I'll start working on the rest of your info.

Remembering computers electricute me I managed to comb through info about turpentine or kerosine protocols. I saw parrafin oil mentioned. I used to take that to help with lifelong constipation until I saw somewhere it was petroleum and it tastes like it. Then again I dont like the taste of castor oil much either. It seems like the diggers low odour might be the best.

Thank you. I'm hoping after 50 years of hell this might finally work.

Hi Robyn...It's good to hear from you again and I'm sorry that your problems are still so serious. Because of your complex and widespread problems, I will just describe my own opinion and perhaps suggest some ways out for you. I also know that you have a lack of funds problem, so I'll try to keep the remedies cheap wherever possible.?

From what you describe, you seem to have the following problems:

Serious digestive and Intestinal Issues
Serious candida and bacterial issues
Osteoporosis
No Energy
High Copper toxicity in the body
Liver problems
Kidney/Addison's Disease/Adrenal Problems
Probable Thyroid issues
Not digesting proteins Stressed pancreas(low insulin)
Allergies/Chemical Sensitivities
Keto-Acidosis

The greatest and most serious problem that you have, mainly caused by your candida and other bacterial infections, is poorly functioning digestion and poor nutrient absorption in the intestines. The intestines is the throne of candida; this is where the majority of candida toxins are being pumped out into your intestines and your body; lack of nutrients in your blood(from poor digestion and absorbtion) together with inefficient excretory clearance of toxic waste by your stressed liver/kidney is what is causing the toxin build up resulting in all the mental, physical, hormonal and metabolic distress in your body; this is also what is putting such severe stress on organs like your liver and kidneys.

So, above all and as a priority, you must act and do all you can to revive and heal your intestines first. Then your body will not be poisoned from all those toxins and you can excrete the toxins quickly and properly. Your healed intestines will then be able to absorb all nutrients properly into the blood and organs via the blood in order to feed your own body properly. Healing the intestines like this will also stop chemical sensitivities and allergies which is such a huge problem for you.

Some suggestions for you.

If you can do it, obtain sodium molybdate and take 25 mgs a day with water for two weeks. This acts to kill candida, it removes copper and will neutralize all the candida aldehyde toxins rapidly. You should take this protocol, which is Ted's protocol, for two weeks on and then one week off in a cycle like that. If you cannot find sodium molybdate, use the ordinary molybdenum sold in the health shops. Buy molybdenum at the highest RDA dosage -- which is 900 mcgs -- and take that at least 3 times a day(outside mealtimes) if you can. You should also take 25 mgs zinc every day. Zinc also helps to get rid of excess copper in the body. Both Vitamin C and Manganese (mineral that supports SOD) will also help reduce excess copper in the body. See this link.

Supplement organic Aloe Vera Oil at mealtimes -- one teaspoon. The extracts from this plant are extremely healing for the body and for the intestines. Aloe vera works to heal no matter whether you have an alkaline or acid body. It's a healer and a balancer that also acts to kill candida and bad bacteria. Another beneficial oil -- especially healing for allergies -- is organic Black Seed Oil (Nigella sativa). Taken with meals -- one teaspoon.

Here is a drink that will help you with your candida issues. In a glass of water, add the following:

MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane)-- One teaspoon -- Supplies essential sulfur to the body. Helps to heal the intestines. Heals allergies as well.

5% Lugols Iodine -- 6 drops. The benefits of iodine are too numerous to list but here are some of them: kills candida and bacteria, supports healthy thyroid, supports proper bone formation, needed for proper digestion, ammunition for the immune system. Work up to the full dosage slowly!! Follow the guidelines for iodine supplementation and take the extra nutrients shown here:

https://home.comcast.net/~jocy1/junk/The Guide to?Supplementing with Iodine.pdf

Ascorbic Acid-- 1/4 teaspoon.

Lemon Juice-- one lemon

Add sodium bicarbonate until the fizzing stops -- this creates the alkaline form -- ascorbate(anti-oxidant) and citrate(for energy) which are highly beneficial for the body. If you have sodium issues then you should take potassium gluconate to balance the sodium. Take this drink twice a day outside mealtimes.

Other remedies to try:

Borax Water (as shown on EC) -- Kills candida and mycoplasma, removes fluoride, helps bone formation, and rebalances hormones. Superb anti-fungal and parasite killer.

Magnesium Chloride as Magnesium OiL. 10 drops twice a day with water at mealtimes. Helps to regulate excess calcium in the blood and does 300 other useful things in the body. If you can't find mag oil -- use magnesium citrate -- 250 mgs twice a day.

The Pure Gum Turpentine or Kerosene Protocol. This protocol kills a huge range of pathogens including candida and parasites. It is also the only protocol I know of that can efficiently get rid of candida and bacterial biofilms in the intestines. See the Turpentine section on EC for dosages. Normally turpentine is supplemented at one teaspoon a day three times a week. It is normally taken mixed with either molasses or honey and castor oil. The castor oil also kills the candida but also helps to spread the turps throughout the intestines. Word of warning: if you are heavily infested with candida then you will get a Herx reaction from this remedy -- so start small and go slow with the dosages. See this link:

http://www.health-science-spirit.com/kero.htm

Poor Digestion-- Take betaine HCL with pancreatic enzymes (pancreatin)at every meal. Also eat papaya fruit at every meal. Papaya contains papain which will digest proteins in either an acid or alkaline environment. Add BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) to your diet. This will help to fix allergy problems and will also help tp boost protein digestion.

Liver/Kidney Support-- Alpha Lipoic Acid(300 mgs twice a day at meals), Milk Thistle (500 mgs twice a day at meals) and Selenium(200 mcgs twice a day at meals). You can also eat 4 to 6 brazil nuts a day to obtain proper daily amounts of selenium and glutamine.

Adrenal and Thyroid Problems-- As well as Lugol's Iodine, I would also consider using bio-identical hormones from porcine or bovine sources. This is really the quickest way to improve your adrenal and thyroid issues. But you will have to get tested and recommendations first from a qualified naturopath on this.

Enemas-- If you are taking molybdenum to remove copper then coffee enemas that you say contain copper become a non-problem. For the coffee enemas you should really be using ground organic coffee beans. All sorts of pathogens can hide away and become untouchable in the lower intestines -- including parasites and candida. Enemas will get rid of this hiding place and help to clear out and make your lower intestines healthy again. Coffee enemas also expel all the toxic waste that tends to accumulate in and stress the liver. That's why coffee enemas are so important and beneficial -- because it helps the body to excrete and get rid of liver toxins fast.

Another suggestion for you. Walter Last, a well-known Australian alternative healer, lives not far from Melbourne and his views on candida and problems such as yours are knowledgeable and honest. If you can, I would try contacting him in your area as a reliable naturopath for some support.

Hello Bill, I thought I'd give one more try. I am still homeless, STILL in severe pain, that never stops, STILL so allergic and don't know what to do. I dont make ATP, can't metabolise carbs or proteins, have ammonia, xylen and other poisonings.

Liver profile, phase 1 too high, phase 2 too low. I don't know what to eat because my copper levels are extraordinary!! I have read what high copper does to you. All the veges I eat have copper. I have addisons disease and it is advised that protein be eaten at each meal. But I have so much trouble eating it. I can't digest it. The lighter proteins (fish & poultry) I am allergic to. Grains I am allergic to. I don't eat much carbs which may be a good thing if I can't metabolise it. I am in ketosis (also on my lab report which is not necessarily a good thing).

I got a stool test back recently that also confirms I'm not digesting. and that I have no good bacteria, 1 strain, I think. That's not good news. So I found an 8 strain live 30 billion and take that twice a day.

For a new year, I went to a new Dr.(environmental). Not much help except to increase most of the supplements I'm taking which haven't helped. And my dheas was almost nil. My adrenals are dead. They produce almost nothing. But I take estrogen, progesterone, dheas, testerone bioidentical troche but I am converting the dheas straight to testerone. Some think progesterone should be taken for 14 days a month, others 25 and I take it the whole month.

Here I can't go into a shop and get any of these things in a cream like you can. Or order them off the internet. They're banned. So getting a different form of dheas is not easily achieved. From what I read dheas is responsible for, it seems like it is not a hormone you want to be without. I just read an article that says for adrenal people vitamin B, C, stimulating herbs such as licorice, ginseng, hormones such as dheas, pregnegelone are all too stimulating. And now I'm even thinking that salicylates are probably a problem for me.

That would give me nothing to eat. I was using coffee enemas (organic) to try to clear my liver but that seems a joke too. Coffee is full of copper and I don't believe you don't absorb in your rectum. Then there's the train of thought that enemas wash out the good bacteria. Being too acidic is often blamed for osteoperosis, which I have, and calcium lying around in your tissues. But copper can do that too. And it seems I have alkaline tissues everywhere. Alkalising with lemon and bicarb was excruciating. I did a lemon fast for a day. That was excruciating too. I can't get the copper out. From what I gather, that is probably not possible until the adrenals are healed. Which I have been told is not going to happen.

I feel totally in despair. Im sorry I've covered a few topics here but I don't know what to eat. I've tried most of the remedies here but I didn't know I had such a copper problem and many of the remedies have a lot of copper in them (eg. coconut oil). So eat? supplements? hormones? and if I have no good bacteria candida must have taken over. I have a very coated white tongue (20 yrs or more). I asked the doc if that was candida to which he replied no. I wasn't digesting anything.

Luckily, thank GOD, for some reason after a long while the pulling sensation is gone. My wildest guess is that I am weak and cannot fight or adapt to the daily environmental conditions of an equatorial climate - hot, dry, humid and cold aircon. Persistent eating no matter how hard I guess help somewhat.

Hello Neguarian,

I'm not Ted but just a question relative to your daughter's condition. You do not give any of her history...medical, physical or anything else that might help Ted figure out what is going on...or for that matter anyone else who would want to help her. For instance, has she been on medication of any kind? Statins in the last year? Any history of A Fib? Any history of serious infection (mono, strep etc)? If an infection (a memorable and serious infection...what was it and where in the body)...Any accidents in the past year?

And...When was onset of the headaches? Does she think the headaches are related to the rest of the problems? Is she depleted of energy? If so, did the energy depletion coincide with the onset of the other symptoms?

You said she had an MRI of the head...nothing of the spine that might be showing lesions?

There are two parts to good analysis: First an accurate diagnosis and Second a possible array of either cures for the problem or "helps" to alleviate symptoms.

The more clues you can give Ted, the better he (or others) can give you good suggestions.

This is a question for Ted. It is about my daughter 22yo. Healthy until the last four months when she started with a headache and tingling sensation for about three weeks, then that sensation move to her knees and sometimes to her feet. Take her to the doctor. Head MRI done nothing wrong. Only thing low was Vitamin D (12). Started taking almost 7 thousand units everyday. She felt bad. Then pain on her chest. EKG done, nothing wrong. She complains every day from a different thing. Numbness on her right leg has been the last problem. Every single pain comes and goes. She cries because she said she wants to feel fine at least one day. I don't know what to do. Any ideas? Please respond to me. Thank you and congratulations for a wonderful and useful website, God bless you.

Hi James, you really need to get a diagnosis before trying to treat your problem. Best wishes.

The skin on my left face and neck is pulling in lately. I have to always touch it or move to loose that sensation.

My current conditions:
- have hot and cold fever long
- stuffy nose if hot / warm
- sleep sitting / slanting a lot
- stomach ache when hungry
- splashed water everytime overheated
- easily cold

Why?

Look into GAPS diet. A few youtube videos are available. Your son needs to heal his digestive system in order to recover.

Please look into Castor Oil Packs. Do alot of reading up about them and see what you think. I used them to heal my son's infection recently and they really be miraculous. From one mama to another, please read about them! Please keep us updated!!

Kelly: Most of the time wild animals get sick during long droughts and harsh winters when there is not enough food to eat. Herbivores eat raw organic vegetation and carnivores eat raw green fed herbivores. Your beloved son is probably eating cooked conventionally grown food that is low in active nutrients and high in pollutants. This weakened his systems so diseases were able to cause illness. Raw organic fruit has high energy water so eat a lot. Berries are best. Make green smoothies from organic baby leaves and organic chili. For oil and protein eat soaked nuts and seeds or raw grass fed hamburger and raw pastured eggs. Keep fat below 5%/g. 1/2 saturated and 1/2 unsaturated. This may seen hard to believe but eating raw organic and grass fed whole foods prevents and cures all illnesses.

Kelly from Casa Grande,

Re your son's condition...

My take on this: Your son's instinct is correct. He contracted an STD of a viral nature maybe fungal that is not registered as regular STD.

He is suspecting this (ask him if I'm right) because of the proximity in time between his relation with the former girlfriend and the onset of his symptoms. I'm guessing that is why he suspects STDs.

Well, so assume it is correct; that means he's gotten infected and so has his wife from an unknown virus or fungus.

I'd use LOTS of Colloidal Silver... four to five tablespoons daily on empty stomach AND Echinacea ... five drops in glass of water, three times daily for a full month. Use the liquid Echinacea. Also if me, I'd get DMSO and take ten drops of that and mix with equal amount of Echinacea drops and apply topically over the spleen. The DMSO will carry the Echinacea into the skin and into the spleen and kill the infection. I'd do that topical application three times a week for a month.

He will know this is working within a week because his energy level will begin returning. But the infection is all in his body so he must stay on the CS for six months.
