Polly: You will have to go by how you react to the probiotics. Start slow. Nothing is ever perfectly correct. Here are a few considerations. 1) You want your immune system in the intestines to react to the probiotics, but you don’t want a full out war. So if large doses make you sick, cut […] more...

SR: There must be at least 500+ people that come to this site per week and view the posts. Every one of them has probably tried at least ONE probiotic — you would think so at least? I think the NON responsiveness speaks for itself in reality. In my opinion, after over 10+ years of […] more...

Polly: Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that promote the health of the gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus L. acidophilus is one of the better-known probiotic bacteria that most of us will recognize as being used in yogurt. However, there are many different kinds of probiotic bacteria with odd sounding names like Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus […] more...

Alana: Hi, the candida seems to really like my sinus passages and lungs. I get stuffiness, post nasal drip, painful throat and also asthma too. Of course, all of this was treated for over 8 years with antibiotics, steroid sprays (both nasally and most recently 1 year of inhaled steroids for my asthma symptoms). Now […] more...

Ritalin and other drugs in the amphetamine family are often prescribed for people with attention deficit and sometimes for people with autism. Possible side effects are vomiting, confusion, delirium, headache, tachycardia, palpitations, cardiac arrhythmia, and high blood pressure. more...

Some of the autistic and mercury poisoned people have noticed that they are sensitive to foods high in sulfur. Part of the problem may be due to relatively high levels of the sulfur amino acid cysteine; or the problem may be due in part to the ability of certain forms of sulfur to move mercury around. more...

Reduce Exposure To Toxins: If there are fewer toxins to process, you don’t overburden the liver. This means avoiding pesticides, heavy metals, and toxins in everyday household and personal care items. It also means reducing your exposure from toxins generated in the gut by harmful bacteria and yeast. more...

To increase sulfate levels, certain sulfate containing substances may be ingested, such as glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and minerals in sulfate form—like zinc sulfate (may irritate sensitive stomachs), iron sulfate, and Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). more...

Polly: Doctors are finding out that mercury poisoning is a big factor in many cases of autism. I just listened to a tape from a DAN! autism conference on mercury poisoning. The protocol that was suggested by one doctor (not everyone agrees) was to start with DMSA to remove the more easily mobilized mercury. This […] more...

AL: In my case glutathione levels are extremely low. Maybe this is the result of detoxing mercury from the 12 amalgams I had in my mouth for almost 30 years. I now am taking glutathione injections, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), glutamine, and other substances in an attempt to raise my glutathione levels. I think this is important […] more...

Coffee rough on the kidneys and you need them working good to detoxify. Also creates an acid body -- not good. Also is loaded with molds, which candida people seem to tend to be allergic to. I didn’t realize how much the coffee was affecting me until I eliminated it for two weeks and added it back. more...

You must have salt as you lose it every day, your skin is one of the big means of it leaving the body. Salt and potassium chloride are in a very delicate balance in the body and if you cut down on salt your potassium goes up and the reverse is true if you eat too much salt. more...
