Turning off the VNS

It has occurred to me that the VNS device maybe hindering the quality of life. I still suffer the symptoms, depression and anxiety are still there, but constant hunger is there, immensely. The VNS device causes that when there are mitigating circumstances, meaning that when there are food allergens and other chemicals that are affecting me, then, yes it works. It always puts out the shock that puts serotonin into the brain. It is how the body receives the  extra serotonin with other factors involved. Other factors
  • medications, 
  • food,
  • psychological preconceptions of fear of what has happened in the past,
  • environmental things.
Maybe I need norepinephrine instead. And I have a problem with histamine. I found this link to a Canadian lab. Why American doctors, mainstream are not offering this test is beyond me.

More foods causing Problems

I am still using the chelator DMSA. I have the research that tells me that it is probable that my allergy problems and heavy metal problems could indeed be related. Once the levels of heavy metals go down then the body has a chance to start healing itself of the allergies that are stymieing it. At least get them to the point that they bother me less. I have hopes for this as noted in previous entries.
What I have been noticing since I have been reading Brain Allergies: Is this your Child? by Doris Rapp, is that yes indeed, most symptoms listed in the book are occurring to me and are attached to food, or environmental factors. I noticed some things that initially frightened me. More foods seemed to be causing the symptoms than I had noted before. But when I contemplated this, it only made more sense. I found that rice and chicken could be added to the "allergic to" list. But this only made sense since every time I ate these foods in the past I did indeed have problems. But rice? and chicken? But I tested it and yes indeed the depression and other symptoms did reoccur when the foods were eaten several different times.
