If you could tolerate it, I would think this is a free pass to eat croissants and bacon!

[alexjuice]

LOL. I ate 4 packages of bacon last week and 12 1/3 lb german beef sausages! Doing my part!!

[alexjuice]

Now that I am done w/ 2 rounds of pharma drugs I am focusing my treatment on an herbal treatment using the program developed by Bob Marshall w/ Premier Research Labs/Quantum Nutrition Labs. In the event any one is interested this is an overview though not dose for dose what I am doing.

http://www.totalhealthsecrets.com/ENGLISH/catalog/collection_display.php?product_collections_id=35

I am interested if anyone would consider getting a quatum reflex analysis which is a muscle test by the practitioners who work w/ Premier and is available in all 50 states. Has anyone done so? Please let me know your results if you have.

Came across this comment on the perfecthealthdiet.com about unusually low cholesterol and parasitic infection:

 

 

Hi Paul,

I’ve written several times about a health mystery that has baffled me for years: my total cholesterol is always less than 150 and LDL hovers around 80. Regardless of diet, dietary cholesterol intake, etc.

I’ve exhausted all the avenues I can think of for understanding and solving this problem. So at this point I’m just wondering how harmful it will be to leave the damn thing alone.

I know that your answer to this question will be purely speculative, but I’d like to hear your opinion nonetheless: how harmful do you think it would be to live the rest of my life with a TC of 140-160 and an LDL of 80?

I cannot find any but the most cursory information on causes of low cholesterol, and doctors dismiss me when I tell them that I think low cholesterol is a problem.

It seems that the cause is either genetic or infectious: if genetic, the only solution would to obtain quantities of dietary cholesterol too massive to be practical or even achievable without tremendous effort and inconvenience; and if infectious, then I don’t even know where to begin, what infections to look for, or how to treat them safely. Doctors dismiss me when I try to talk to them about a connection between low TC and infections. So this problem appears pretty much insoluble.

So how bad do you think it would be to just leave it alone?

Hi Brendan,

I still think a protozoal or parasitic infection would be the most likely possibility. Having tested and treated for parasites, a protozoa like Toxoplasma or Plasmodium or Trypanosomes might be more likely. Here is a summary of what is known: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1142336/

Most people who have these infections live with them without treatment.

If it’s not impacting your health in any obvious way, that’s good. I would still try to diagnose it if possible.

Birthday today. Bad night sleep last night, tried liquid diet on Friday but gave in to the gurgling and slept poorly. Eye lids swollen, vein painextremities.

 

Thinking about working on mt websites after 3 yrs off.

[Karma]

 

Happy Birthday, Alex!

[alexjuice]

THANKS Karma!!

 

This is my first birthday without DRUGS since 1996!!!!!! I could cry, honestly. But it feels GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAT to write that I am DRUG FREE on my birthday!

[Altostrata]

Happy birthday, dear alexejice!

[alexjuice]

THANKS Alto!

[cymbaltawithdrawal5600]

Oh Alexejice! How wonderful for you and you deserve a happy birthday.... that's a lot of birthdays you had on drugs and now you're off. There is a light at the end of the tunnel thank goodness!

[Barbarannamated]

Happy Happy Birthday, Alex! Drug free an incredible accomplishment and gift to yourself!

[Petunia]

Happy (drug free) Birthday Alexejice, wishing you many more.

[Lexy]

Cngratulations!!

You deserve all the best!

[Lexy]

Congratulations!!

I wish you the best!

[alex]

Congratulations!!!!!!!!

[alexjuice]

Thanks so much guys! Means the world to me to get your amazing support and feedback!

[alexjuice]

Talked to an old friend who takes lexapro on the phone. Hadn't talked to him in over ayear. He sounds tired and disintereted in life. Wish I could help him. Also bit of weird vibe bc he doesn't nearly understand what I am going through. Feel like we are a million miles apart since we last talked. I feel good though. I am grateful to have the opportunity I have.

 

Weather is terrible, how that affects my mood.

 

Ate some apples last couple of days which seemed to make my tissue atrophies worse. Haven't been sleeping that well. Tried a liquid diet on Friday broth, juice,  protein powder and so forth but then ate too much on Saturday. I am going to try to eat super light for 5 days if possible. I really felt so much better in some ways on Friday.

 

I love you guys and am very proud of all the determination and good feelings here on this part of the internet!

[mammaP]

Alex you are an inspiration to us and I'm glad things are getting better.

I hope things settle down again soon. 

[Karma]

"Drug Free" what an awesome thing to be able to say!  Congratulations, Alexejice!

 

 

Karma

[alexjuice]

Thanks Karma!! I am happy as heck to be drug free, at the moment anyway.

 

UPDATE:

 

Visit w/ alt doc.  Muscle test, bone pain from fungal/mold. HPA dysregulation ongoing. Recommened the stnd process supps and pau d;arco. Also terrified a bit, really agonizing pain in arms and wrists and toes and bones actually getting smaller. I know -- beyond a shadow of a doubt -- that conventional medicine can not help me. Conventional medicine is completely overwhelmed in the areas of fungal/parasitic infection because there is no money in the antiinfectives. I believe certain foods fuel this infection which is why I report so often on food and getting much worse eating junk or snacks.

 

I am tired and exhausted of having these sleep troubles. Waking all the time every night all night. Amped up in the evening. I know parasites cause insomnia, waking, nighttime teeth grinding and all the things that have been driving me crazy. Also found out there is a psychiatric diagnosis for people who persist in the belief that they have parasites even after testing says they do not. It is called delusional parasitosis. I also believe I have solved for the cause of delusional parasitosis which is parasitic infection. My heart goes out to those people.

 

Also I no one has ever suggested that I am suffering from the so-called delusional parasitosis. I have 3 stool tests and an expert physicians Voll-acupunture test and these are all positive for parasitic infection. Thank god I have the documentaion! In my reading and study I have come across many cases of other individuals who are unable to afford or isolate the source of their infection and there lives are irrecovably altered. Truth is many parasites occupy the upper small intestine so the evidence is broken down by the digestion that naturally occurs in the bowels making diagnosis problematic, at least via stool analysi. Also antipsychotic drugs are especially active against, you betcha, PARASITES which is why people with delusional parasitosis often improve with psychotic treatment -- though they lose their entire lives in the process!

 

In the end the scope of the problems w/ infection and toxicity caused by psychiatric drugs is alarming beyond belief and my hear aches for all the people who are unknowingly having their lives destroyed by the first with a faulty treatment adding to the second. I am will pray for everyone's recvoery and well being and I do ask you pray for mine as well.

 

Happy Thanksgiving

Alex

[Barbarannamated]

Wow, Alex! That's really interesting in a disturbing way. I read at one point that Abilify is structurally related to quinolone antibiotics and we know quinolones have neuropsych effects. Not sure if any of this is related to what you're explaining, but is a reminder that drugs *work* in many (unknown) ways.

 

Terrible to think of those people with "delusional parasitosis" who think they're crazy but really ARE infected. Then antipsychotic treatment reinforces the psych diagnosis which, of course, will follow them through life after the parasitic infection is resolved. Sad.

 

Have a good day.

[alexjuice]

Hey Barb-

Yes, terrifying. The world at large is very scary to me as I uncurl its secret dimensions, to be honest.

 

UPDATE:

"Alex, why are you so toxic?" he asked.

"I took a lot of psychiatric drugs for a long," I responded.

"Yes, there's that. That could be it."

"You don't realize, I took a looooot of psychiatric drugs for a long time."

"Yes. And before that."

"Before that, I don't know," I say...

 

I've been thinking about my whole life, what happened to me as a child and why I started on drugs in place one. I have more questions than answers.

 

Waiting to see the QRA practitioner for parasite program. Maybe try some flush techniques this weekend. Heat lamp tonight and sweated a bit which felt amazing but scary. Eating more potatos and rice, less coconut and fats. Sleep is a bugger right now. waking all the time. Colon nerve problems again.

 

I don't have the energy to cook 2-3 meals a day and do housework. I am doing better than ever but my reserves are low and I spend a few hours a day reading online mainly because I am too weeak to stand.

 

Went to see Hunger Games and walked out after an hour. Not feeling well and also found the movie boring, depressing and incoherent. Like Star Trek Into Darkness, in the incoherence department. I am a snob and the quality of mass-media entertainment has never been lower -- a depressing combo. Even the commercials at the movie were depressing. What is the mood of the country? Judging by the entertainment, it is hopeless and exhausted. There was even a trailer for a Noah's Ark movie which seemed apropos to the moment. That one got everyone in silence, rapt attention to the screen. I wasn't the only person in the theater ready for a global washover and a new morning I bet.

lol you actually watch the trash made these days they call "movies"?

 

I watch no more TV nor movies, mostly due to finances and my health concerns. Sadly, it doesn't bother me, as I know all this stuff is garbage anyway. Not to sound like I'm some snobby person who is only into literature, cuz I don't read either! I just don't do much of nothin', except type bad grammar as emphaisis.

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you, alexejice!

[alexjuice]

Hey Jason-

Yea I went to see Hunger Games. So much has transpired since I saw Hunger Games I in 2012. I can't believe that was only a year and a half ago. Amazing.

 

I keep finding myself questioning the assumptions of modern medicine. The major assumption is that the general environment is healthful so small patches such as a drug can restore health when a person becomes ill. However I find it now more likely that the major assumption is 180 degrees removed from reality. I must assume that the general environment is not healthful and that interventions that achieve symptomatic relief may be only bandaids moving the patient still further from healthfulness.

 

I am having bowel troubles which prevented liver flush this weekend. I am trying OxyPowder to help clean the bowel and also taking an herbal antiparasitic syrup while continuing to detox. I am probably detoxing too rapidly and this is contributing to my bowel nerve problems and poor stool.

 

I've also read from a natural healer named Dr Sutter who argues that liver malfunction is the prime cause for toxicity. In a nutshell the doc may be right, or mostly right. Some trouble comes from that these natural healers have done a good bit of independent thinking and then carry opinions that strike me as way out there -- they could be right but I doubt it and the fact that the outlandish claims are beleived makes me realize I am taking my life in unsteady hands in some degree. However no one is 100% and being wrong about the oil companies doesn't mean one is wrong about parasites and also my problems are entirely unaddressed by mainstream which is lost on some sometimes. There is not a 'safe' option that I am refusing out of stubborness...

 

I am in a tough spot like on a seesaw so positive change on one end can still wreak havoc by unbalacing everyhting. If only I just didn't have all the ifnections, some I brought on myself by being too passive... I do feel that if I had all the present information at my fingertips a few years ago, I believe I could have recovered from everything fairly rapidly -- within 12 months to perfect health, impossible to fathom but I do believe.

 

Oh well, I am where I am. I hope my bowel disease and bone disease is reversible. I think it will be.

 

OxyPowder x4 tonight and better movements tomorrow.

[alexjuice]

Oxypowder caused hundreds of mini-pops in gut maybe exploding parasites. Then I got sweaty and pain in head! I went looking for explanation of web and some said parasites scatter but another (likelier) possibility is that I am exploding parasites and losing too much toxic material which is relodging in my brain, specifically heavy metal such as mercury. Also colon nerve problem seems to be from tons of yeast overgrowth which is also decomposing the dead parasite matter.

 

I will get some data about heavy metals this week w/ the ZYTO hand scan. Also will talk about what could be happening with my head. I feel disoriented today and also tired but noticeably less anxious.

 

Did mini-liver flush today. Going to buy some malic acid to (eventually) do a full flush but I can't use fruit juice bc of the fungus in my intestines and probably bones too.

 

Can't wait to see QRA on December 11. Not sure what to do in the  meantime.

[Karma]

Oooooo - I think I'm the 1000th reply on your thread!

 

I also have yeast overgrowth ... again ... yeast population increases with stress and especially junk food.  I would think that what you have been going through with your health is stressful and has been allowing the yeast population to proliferate.  That would also explain why you sometimes have to run out and get certain foods - it is the yeast causing you to crave those foods.  Very difficult to overcome cravings caused by yeast.

 

What I've found is that I have to pick one thing and focus on strengthening my system in that area.  After I have some success in that area I can move on to the next thing.  I will spend at a minimum 4 months working on this candida issue and possibly the whole year. 

 

So, with this new information (that I have yeast overgrowth again) I am adjusting my routine to focus on eliminating the unhealthy excess yeast population. I'm taking LactoPrime Plus as my probiotic - it is 7 times stronger than the probiotic I had been taking.  I've learned that I have more success if I rotate through various probiotic blends.  The body needs different things as it strengthens. The other thing I'm doing is taking Caprin which is a natural antifungal rather than a prescription antifungal.  I try to avoid prescription anything (the agreement is that if I don't see significant progress in 4 months then I will use a prescription antifungal).

 

I know it is tough, Alex.  I have already minimized western medicine to a very small role in my healthcare.  I don't believe in invasive protocols or drugs applied to symptoms.  I believe in finding the root cause and making adjustments to improve my health with nutrition-based medicine.  The doctors I do see are really more there to serve me than to guide me.  It is an ugly realization, but once one accepts it then you can move on to managing it.

 

Love ya, Alex

I am SO glad you pointed this out about yeast.

 

Yes, it will cause cravings. Big time cravings. It also goes into overdrive with low serotonin levels and/or being off SSRIs.

 

Haha I just officially got taken off that god -awful poor excuse of a site to call itself a support forum. Thank God. Since they won't believe any of this.

 

But yes, yeast for me is out of control during this withdrawal syndrome. And it is the reason Alexe is suffering and I and others are too.

Alexejice --

 

Was thinking about you yesterday. I think about a lot of different things while out and about. You're one of them sometimes... have you done any research into essential oils? They are harmful to mold. I don't know if they do much for mycotoxins, though. Also, I remember reading you take the binders and have to "back off" yo umay be taking too many to cause malnutrition or malabsorption. You are remembering to take them as far away as possible to food, correct? Leave about one hour of a window minimum between binders-food-binders. And you may not need to take everyday.

[alexjuice]

Thanks for the tip about oils Jason. I meant to order some that I sampled but I forgot and got caught up in other stuff. BTW, I can't believe there are 1,000 posts in this thread. Amazing!

 

The fungal issue is something I am working on getting to the bottom of. I definitely have some issue with that though I don't know if I have candida specifically or some other mold or fungus. I find certain mindsets come w/ fungal flares and parasite flares. When I feel sorry for myself or like a victim or that nobody understands my symptoms actually get worse. It is amazing. I need to laern from this.

 

On a side note: I started watching Arrested Development on netflix a few months ago. I didn't know who Portia de Rossi was before watching. I'd heard of her vaguely and probably read her name on the newstand. When I started wathcing, I say THAT's Why She's Famous, Arrested Development. Not to sound odd but she looks like she has a parasitic infection. I read about her a bit and it turns out she has an eating disorder. When I was in rehab there were eating disorder patients and as I think back many of them had some hallmark parasite symptoms. Jeeez. I wonder how strong the correlation is between eating disorders and parasitic infection? After that I was less surprised by her appearance which is dramatically altered by plastic surgery since Ally McBeal. Also I sometimes now look back on old pictures on facebook and see parasitic infection in certain cases. A friend of mine from college seems also certainly a chronic parasitic case though he has no idea I suspect this. I wish he would get himself tested but I can't very well email him to suggest it. Also I could be wrong about him having a parasite.

 

The moral of all of this is I can help rid myself of all disease by being warm-blooded, active, notavictim, clean, eatorganic, exercise, sunlight. The most important thing is to catch myself when feeling weak and remember I am worrying too much so I should take some parasite killer!

[alexjuice]

UPDATE:

 

In last month come a LONG way in getting food craving under control. No eating at night at all this week. Limited slips and doing much much better overall. Still not really sure how to eat/what to eat but a lot of things that are bad have been excluded. I think the supp regimen from the hair test is helping to rebalance the cravings.

 

Finished mold protocol w/ Smiley. Don't plan on going back unless I need a drug. Waiting for ZYTO hand test from my clammy acupuncturist. Going to try a colonic to deal w/ colon fungal issue. Had two colonics in september and revisiting the one I liked better. Three days daily enema to help w/ bowel problem.

 

Need to get to bed earlier!
