Has anyone here used 23andme to test for genetic markers related to methylation. I have a bartonella infection I cannot clear, severe MCS, allergies, heavy metals, as well as other indicators for a...
I did not make headway with the usual SIBO treatments or FODMAPS diet so I had to take another approach. Please take a look at the list of links I posted earlier in this thread. I am slowly working...
I have severe MCS, so am reactive to many things particularly pharmaceuticals. That being said, I did fine with the Xifaxan, but the herbals seemed to do a better job for me. If your insurance covers...
When my husband (with UC) started Megaspore he had to start with 1/8 of a capsule and even with that he had loose stools, fatigue and headache . He has worked his way up to 1/6 of a cap per day. I...

Hello VanJordan, My husband finally decided to try the Megasporebiotic. He started with 1/8 cap every other day, the idea being to avoid as much inflammation from die-off as possible by going slowly....
Here is an article "Beneficial modulation of the gut microbiota". I thought the info related to Inflammatory Bowel Disease was interesting....
Glad to hear your experience with Megaspore was positive. Like you, my husband is taking quite a few nutritional supplements along with Lialda. He found fish oil particularly helpful. Microbiome Labs...

You may find the book Beyond the Pill by Jolene Brighten helpful. The books main focus is Post Birth Control Syndrome. The book is a bit of an advertisement for her products, but there is some...

Does anyone know a good quality source for Boneset Tea? Thanks....
I have not tried mastic but plan to order some tomorrow. It is worth a try. What lab does the GI map test? I am assuming your doctor ordered the test? My doc is not being helpful at all and I am...
Thank you everyone for sharing your information. I am really beginning to think this is hopeless. I do not tolerate Pepto (bismuth citrate) containing products b/c of heavy metal toxicity and I am...
It has been some time since I have visited here. I have successfully (as far as I know) treated my Bartonella infection with herbals. It took me years, perhaps because it had been an infection of...
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and finding the thread I posted earlier explaining what had happened. The skin issues look more like allergic contact dermatitis than hives. I was previously...

Thanks Girlie and BlackTara for the info and support. The kitty that caused all the troubles was one we were considering adopting from the vet's office. The vet has to treat all the cats there so as...
Thank you saraeli and k07 for your replies. It is nice to know I have someplace to ask a question and gain support. The vet made contact with us again and said that the kitty in question had not had...
I am taking 1 GM of Vitamin C every 1-2 hours, will do an epsom salt foot soak, and at bedtime will take activated charcoal. Have also taken an extra dose of milk thistle. That's in addition to all...
Well, We heard back from the Vet already. They treat the hospital cats (where we got the kitty) monthly with Revolution which treats for mites, fleas/tics and parasites, so more likely allergic to...
My husband sent an e-mail to our vet today. We should hear back from her by evening. I tried taking a cell pic at your suggestion, but did not come out well. It was a good thought. I hope the vet can...
Hi, Thanks for the reply. With regard to the "rash". There are numerous raised tiny bumps all over backs of hands and wrists, but much worse on dominant hand which did most of the petting. Those...
Hello, It has been some time since I visited this forum (formerly as Gladioli66). I cannot recall, but can Lyme or it's coinfections be transmitted from cats to humans via mites. I know tics and...
