If you continue to search through my posts, you'll find several about my health journey. <br /><br />Lately, I've been writing about my walk with the Lord and the way He is miraculously healing me. My latest post says a good bit about my progress. <br /><br />if you're looking for sciencey posts and things to try, check out "Frankly My Dear, You Have Been Floxed," "The Art of Tug of War," and "Mayo Clinic Trip: Diagnosis Edition."<br /><br />Also, my natural doctor has a video available which teaches the at-home rescue technique I've been using for the past couple of years. Check out the post "Emergency Desensitization Technique" for more info. I believe this technique not only has helped me during emergencies, but improved my health over time. <br /><br />And if you haven't tried the Autoimmune Paleo diet, I recommend looking into it. I can't eat everything on it, but sticking to non-inflammatory foods has helped me a ton.<br /><br />Though I'm better now, God isn't finished healing me yet. Still plenty of symptoms to go, but I believe He will heal me completely. Don't give up in asking for your healing. Ask Him to lead you as you figure things out and decide what to try. He sees you. He cares. He is able to deliver! *hugs* May the Lord bless you this Christmas! I will say a prayer for you this morning.

I basically feel the same way you do. Dying inside and waiting on Jesus all the time for a miracle, while He leads in a direction of healing. The candida is awful. I would live to know what you are working on right now, as I know about the mast cell disease. I am on a low thiol and low to none sulfur diet . still struggling everyday. Feel hungover like 2 bottles of tequila and I don't drink!!! Lord help us.

I do best with minimal supplementation and a high nutrient diet. I'm sure I don't get enough B vitamins, but the overall picture has shown me the less interference, the better.MelissaKeasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795508209041567064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480547809031696136.post-27350185334437533802015-07-03T18:06:11.285-05:002015-07-03T18:06:11.285-05:00Thank you for sharing , i was hanging on by a thre...Thank you for sharing , i was hanging on by a thread and an allergic reaction to sulfa anti biotics sent me over.

I became very ill soon after writing the post, and my ammonia burden became a non-concern. I was fighting for my life! I have improved greatly over the course of following year. Last month, I went to Mayo Clinic where I learned I have a condition called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Many, many foods are triggers. I now follow a low-histamine, AIP, 4 day rotation diet. It is definitely not low protein! I no longer think in terms of low-ammonia or low-sulfur, but in terms of what foods my body will accept without wreaking havoc. This is the only way I can get solid, safe nutrition. Once again, thank you for contributing to my knowledge base. I appreciate you!MelissaKeasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795508209041567064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480547809031696136.post-79226215027990088632014-06-20T09:18:54.992-05:002014-06-20T09:18:54.992-05:00But, have you considered the clostrida produce 20 ...But, have you considered the clostrida produce 20 times the amount of ammonia as "good flora" and also h pylori produces boatloads of ammonia also - it is fine to reduce meat, but don't go high carb as it will be feeding pathogens - also, if you have a kid who doesn't eat vegetables, you can also use Acid to Alkaline or add baking soda to his bath/waterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480547809031696136.post-8401384346430908042013-11-21T13:20:49.873-06:002013-11-21T13:20:49.873-06:00Great post.

I have Hashimoto's, which is what has prompted me to get to the root cause of my body's issues. Thanks for sharing!Jessicahttp://www.simplyhealthyhome.comnoreply@blogger.com
