Hi Amy,
I had a type of blood test (don't remember the name) and hair analysis--both twice to test toxic metals in my body. I wrote more in another email to you why the first test didn't work. I didn't have the provocative test you write about, however. That said, I have had chelationtherapy by IV! You can die from this, but if your doc is reallyknowledgeable and experienced, you should be ok (with chelation therapy, Imean). My doc at the time was wonderful and I did improve greatly afterwards--this was way back in the early 1980s! I just sat in a big cushy reclining chair and they put the IV in and monitored me. Ittook several hours--I may not remember correctly, but I think 5 or 6 hoursand I had lunch at one point. It was completely painless, but I think I had some reactions like migraines and when I did, if I remember correctly, they adjusted the IV.
I also had other interventions at the time--liver support, mega nutrient supplementation, glandular therapy, and diet changes--no sugars, no yeasts,no glutens, low fruit, low carb, high protein. I had nearly died of liver failure and regular medical intervention was not helping me at the time, which was how I came to use something so controversial (actually I should say novel--not sure it had gotten to controversial status yet)! My health was good after these interventions for 5 years, after which I declined again over about 4 years to bed-bound status. The doctor who had treated me died (bless him!) during my good period, so I was back to square one and trying to find doctors to replicate what hehad done. Finally, after not finding anyone who could do this, I started reading up on and experimenting on various parts of his therapies myself.
That was when I went thru the decade which finally led to many health improvements. I am still not 100% well--I still battle with MCS and EMS, tho not as badly as in the past. But I am no longer in bed, and generally speaking, have energy to hike, bike, garden... and enjoy life. Since my hand accident in the spring, I have had increased problems with fatigue (nothing as bad as when my CFS was active) and chronic bronchial asthma. Both are probably due to the anti-biotics I had to take for my hand surgery. I have started killing off bad gutflora again for those can lead to both CFS and mucus proliferation which incites my asthma, for me. (In fact, I could NOT get past the fatigue of CFS without dealing in part with the gut flora issues, when I overcame CFS in the past.)
I have written reams of (smile, Marc! lol) off-topic and on-topic posts discussing the things I have done to get better here on the forum. I will send you some copies of those posts privately later today if I can get to that. (I have several I keep to send to people who ask.) I have an appt, after which I have a dinner engagement, so..... It might be later this week if I don't get to it today, but I will try to send at least one post today.
Take care, dear. It will take time, but you can improve.
Hold onto that thought,
Diane

Diane - What kind of tests did you have done? My Dr wants to do a 6 hr provoked urine test where they give you a chelating drug by IV and then collectthe urine for 6 hours. I have read that some people got worse even just being tested and that scares me. Did you ever do anything like that? What kind of things have you done or taken to detox and how did you address liver and lymphatic functions? I just know nothing about this and am feeling quitelost.
Thanks for your help! Amy

Hi, Amy,
Yes, I have had testing and I have read many doctors believe you won't get anywhere until you address heavy metal toxins. For me personally, amalgam fillings are still an issue, but last I looked into this, there still did not exist an alternative that I could tolerate for my 2 wisdom teeth. (I cannot have them removed due to the roots sitting on nerves.) But I have improved greatly by addressing various other issues--especially my liver and lymphatic function and getting toxins out of my body. Mercury didn't show up onmy one test, and I forget the reason (but there was one). It did measure high on my second. I was also somewhat high in aluminum and lead. In Europe,especially, the EMS savvy docs really put emphasis on chelating metals andgetting rid of amalgams. I have not specifically heard of this causing flourescent light intolerance, but almost all EMS people do have flourescent light intolerance to one degree or another, so it
certainly seems connected in some way.
My best to you; hope you are feeling better soon,
Diane

I have a severe reaction to fluorescent lights (feel weak and faint after only a few minutes). I also have weak muscles and a boatload of other weird symptoms. My new Dr thinks I may have heavy metal poisoning and is going totest for that. Have any of you ever heard of that causing light and electrical field sensitivity? Does that make sense at all?
Thanks! Amy
