Awhile back I was trying to describe to Amazone I. and others why I was so "on the verge" of bulimia whenever grass pollen was outstanding in the air. I said "it's as if my body thinks the grass is part of another seed plant - the grains that are my avoids - like I'm already ingesting avoids"

The long-searched "proof in the Pollen Pudding" : grass pollen almost identical to cereal pollen

http://seillevalley.com/IdentifyingPollen.htm (slides)

Grass pollen is another one of my "avoids" because of the proteins.
Dr. D., thank you for your article because I am tempted to say grass pollen is a "bad" lectin for me: http://www.dadamo.com/science_lectins_mitogens.htm

"... Many mitogens are "lectins" only if we enlarge the category to include monovalent molecules with high carbohydrate affinity......"

I hope I can hear back from others with eating disorders about their experiences with environmental allergies opening the door to unhealthy responses to food!

More relevant to this site, I would like to know if this type intolerances to the proteins are prevalent in Nonnies. Nonnies, please speak up

No treatment for advanced cases and high likelihood of misdiagnosis is a scary combination.

I wonder whether there's a correlation between certain medical conditions and a "family history" of polio.

There are some anecdotal comments on the Internet from folks who have autoimmune disorders and who had a parent that survived polio.  And then I wonder, if a parent who had polio really does confer onto offspring a greater tendency to develop an autoimmune disorder, maybe that's one reason why we're seeing an increase in these disorders.

It's also interesting that all the medical history forms I filled out never asked if I had a parent who survived polio.  This tells me that the AMA doesn't think it's important.]]> Fri, 3 May 2013 15:28:25 SquarePeg http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1367514328/ http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1367514328/#num1 Thu, 2 May 2013 13:05:28 ilovemycat http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1367331170/ http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1367331170/#num1
Anyway, I had the typical vomiting and low grade fever, diarrhea. But ever since, I have been feeling different "inside." Like more energy, or more "alive." Not sure how to describe it. I have always suspected I had some odd gut bacteria problem since I have a very tough time losing weight, I NEVER feel hunger pangs (not exaggerating) like normal people and have to be extremely careful of overeating and WHAT I eat, lest I gain weight easily and get fatigued, etc.

Now, aside from the couple pounds I lost during the illness, even two weeks later, have dropped two pounds without even trying, get hunger pangs again after 6 years. Have normal bowel movements. Less joint pain and headaches.

My question is, can a brutal "cleansing" from a virus reset your gut bacteria? And how do I keep it like this? ]]> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:12:50 Jennihul http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1366902729/ http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1366902729/#num1
Total T: 483 ng/dL

Free T: 4.98 ng/dL [49.8 pg/mL]

Bioavailable T: 100.3 ng/dL

Albumin: 4.4 g/dL

SHBG: 45 nmol/L


(I haven't found optimal numbers for "bioavailable", but the Quest reference range is 110-575 ng/dL.)

I found some information on optimal levels for different ages here. According to this site, I have the total T levels of 75-84 year old men, and free T levels that are low-normal for 85-100 year old men.  

What can I do about this???

my cleaning lady I suggest O nonnie from Spain, has had a lot of allergies, nearly on all kinds of food stuffs were reactions to obeserve..... one day much heavier...next time less... and so on..... I sended her to a colleague of mine and he gave her only some beautiful Bach flowers and homeopathic drops....

and now, after 3 weeks, she's able to consume nearly all she want's to eat without any reactions at all!!

You see, also here fear ate soul up and trust reversed her situation with food allergies..... what did I learned here ... This woman with lots of problems to understand german, even swiss dialect was able to convert her agreements and belief system without any problems.... the Zauberword here still is:

trust, hope  and positiv approach in word and script ...

what do I want more ! ]]> Thu, 25 Apr 2013 02:58:02 Amazone I. http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1366432801/ http://www.dadamo.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1366432801/#num1 I recently spoke with a friend that is now following the BTD. She knows about it from when I started years ago. Her friend has been diagnosed with this disease and is trying to follow the BTD/see an holistic ND/get answers.
The friend is B-. I don't know if that is relevant to this but I am trying to help. She found an ND that suggested the BTD but does not have any other Behcets patients.
I am ordering from NAP on Monday and gathering as much info as possible for her.
Thanks for any news/info/help.

If someone's normal temperature is, say, 2F lower than normal (96.6F instead of 98.6F) would the threshold between the grades also be 2F lower?

This is the fifth day I've had a fever.  Frankly I'm getting a little tired of it.
